The four teanis playing in the tournamient were the Port Hope Flyers, Bowmnanvîile Electrontcs, Oshawa Legionaries and the Kendal Eagles. Ail the par- ticipants had such a good time there is talk of another kick at the can. The event also raised alot of money for minor basebali in Kendal. Parents of children in the Separate Sehool board, met Thursday night at St. Francis of Assisi school in Newcastle. to hear about the Joint Transportation Proposai pre- sented by Mr. Ray Stewart, supervisor of transportation. This being the third year of reduced funding from the Provincial government, the school board is looking at ways to cut costs. One of the ways to cut transportation costs is to share bussing ser- vices with the public sehool board. The plan presentedby Ray Stewart, would have busses picking up students from JK to grade 12, and dropping them off at their respective schools. In order for this plan to work schools would have to have staggered starting and closing times. This is were the plan met heavy opposition from the parents. The proposed plan means that chiidren living in Jean Hoy retires After 35 years in the ciass- room as a teacher, Jean Hoy calîs it quits. She has taughit grades 1 - 8 in ail the area public schools.

Inspite of ail the other problems with this plan, par- ent Louise Mroz sees it at a safety issue. With Il busses and parents in cars ail arriving at 2:40 to pick up children at the end of the schooi day it won't be long before some- thing happens to one of the children. Parent Steve Chartrand wanted to know what plan "B" was. "You can't corne to us on June 19 with a proposai fuît of holes that has to'be running in September.
