Considers change in,) animal control bylaw GORRIE — Howick Township Council is con- sidering a proposal to put the township's animal control bylaws finder the jurisdic- tion of the Provincial Offences Act. The proposal was put forward at the March 6 council meeting by ,Greg Smith, of Arteka Animal Control, which is currently under .contract to control animals within the township. Mr., Smith explained the Attorny General's Office has declared all animal control officers can be considered Provincial Offences Officers, if the municipality passes a bylaw to that effect.

A report by Bob McCall, superintendent of program, estimates the cost of imple- menting a French Immer- sion program in one school area of $3,843.94. He arrived at this figure by estimating it would cost $6,200 for such things as -ac- commodation, equipment and supplies and other material for both Kindergar- ten and Grade 1. From that total' cost of $12,400, Mr. McCall sub- tracted Ministry of Educa- tion grants based on 25 pupils in each of the two initial grades of $8,556.06 which would leave a balance of $3,843.94. Exeter Trustee Clarence McDonald asked why the cost of teachers was not in- cluded in the estimate. The superintendent replied that teaching costs were not included because the French Immersion students would need a teacher even if they were in a regular classroom. R. W.

Mr. Harrison's letter out - The board acknowledged it has, received letters from two citizens with reservation about setting up a French Immersion program. Mr. Al- lan read aloud the letters from D.

The theme of -the excerpts were negative to- wards French Immersion. ASK FOR STUDY "The main concern for all should be to achieve the best education available for our children. To rush into a pro- gram that obviously has raised several serious con- cerns in school boards that have already established the program would be improper.

"I would like to finish by saying`that I have the utmost respect for anyone who is able to speak more than one language. However, I am not firmly convinced that other learning opportunities .are not equally pertinent in the overall education of our youth," stated Mr. Harri- son's letter. Neither Mr. Harrison nor Mr. Scott were able to attend the board meeting. The board debated having the French Immersion re-, ports of the personnel and education committee brought in at its April meet; ing with some trustees say- ing it isn't enough time to discover the ramifications of French Immersion, particu- larly as it could be drawing students from schools which may be reviewed.

The Royals came flying back with goals by Jeff Bloemberg, Dave Stephenson and Dave Burns to take a 3-1 lead. Durham got a power play goal at 18:48 before Stephenson, with his second of the period at 19:33, had the Royals ahead 4-2 after 20 minutes of action. The Royals raised the score to -6-3 in the second with goals by Mike Mont- gomery and Jay MacLaurin, with Terry Whiteside's power play goal accounting for Durham's tally. In the third, the Royals blew it. Durham scored a mere 56 seconds into the period, but the Royals got that one back on Jim McGee's power play goal at 5:44. At this point Durham switched into high gear, picking up three goals, with the equalizer coming with their goalie out and a mere 33 seconds left on the clock. On a high, Durham registered the win at 4:45 of the overtime to tie the series at two with a come -from - behind 8-7 win. WHISTLE STOPS — This Durham team just never seems to give up. The Royals certainly blew this one. They were guilty of the cardinal sin of giving up goals in the first and last minutes of the period as Durham registered no fewer than three of these big goals. Durham's power play was potent in this win with three goals, two by the sharp- shooting Midget star Terry Whiteside, while the Royals came through with only one goal on the power play. Dave Sxephenson a.ppars to be back in form for the Royals. He had a big game with two goals and three assists. period, jumping into a big 5-0 lead on a pair of goals by Dave Stephenson and singles by Jim McGee, Tom Irwin ans Jay MacLaurin. In the second, it was all Royal action. At 1:09 on the power play Sandy Fitzgerald dropped a pass to Tom Irwin and he put one of his "super zoomers" into the bulging net. Add to that goals by Rick Jacklin, Dave Stephenson, Dennis Knox and Jim McGee and the Royals had things well under control, ahead 10-0 atthe end of the second. Ira the. third, Durham hit the scoresheet as Greg Dixon caught the upper corner and teammate Randy Reay added another, with Stephenson and Fitzgerald replying for the Royals. At the final whistle, the Royals had a one-sided 12-2 victory and were just one win from the championship.. WHISTLE STOPS — With lots of hustle and corner muscle, the Royals dished up their strongest effort of the season in this big win. Dave Stephenson had a big four - goal night, Jim McGee showed hustle galore and was certainly controlling the corners. He also had the Durham goalie handing him the puck behind the net so he could slip it in the empty net. Veteran blueliner Tom Irwin unloaded his "super zoomers" from the point for a pair of goals and almost got the hat trick. Midget Jeff Bloemberg was back in action playing a strong game, dishing up some solid checks and clearing the puck with the cool control of an old veteran. Durham certainly missed its pair of Midgets and with four players out with injuries had only 14 players dressed for action and they seemed to lack' their steady play of earlier games. The sixth game of the series was played Tuesday night at Durham and if a seventh game is necessary it will be played at Wingham Thur-sdaay winner of this series takes on Ripley for the WOAA grand championship.
