by ANNE TODESCO Rev. Sisters Clare- anne, Edwina and Mary Anne of Sault Ste. Marie visited Mrs. Anne To- desco during the week. Sister Clareanne Mc- Farling had taken her final vows in the order of St. Joseph's Nuns on the previous Saturday. Mr. and Mrs. Urbain Luce of Nipigon was in the village and renewing acquaintances. The late Peter Perault, a former commercial fisherman here for years, was her grandfather. Mr. and Mrs. Jos. R. Douglas and grand- daughter Cathy Douglas of Sioux Narrows called on Joseph's sister Anne Todesco enroute home from Marathon. Juriss Zdanovskis is our new postmaster and was ready for service to the village on Saturday July 2nd. He has taken over from Mrs. Chris- tine Beaudour. Mrs. Hilda Mushqush spent the weekend with relatives in Nipigon on the holiday weekend. Mr. and Mrs. Bill Hubeilt have left to holi- day with her mother Mrs. Mary Boudreau in Timmins, Ontario. Mrs. Josephine Hubelit was pleasantly suprised when Mr.. and Mrs. Dell Bowman stop- ped in for a visit. They were neighbours of Josephine's several L.S.B.E. responds to Allan Report continued from page 1 Board's Response The initial draft of the Board's Response was prepared by its Director, Margaret Twomey, and subsequently reworked by the Board members before being presented to the Regional Director and passed along to the Minister. The Response says, "At the outset, the Trustees of the "Lake Superior Board of Edu- cation would like to ex- press their appreciation to the Minister for the appointment of the Commissioner to study the problems associat- ed with the delivery of education in small sec- ondary schools in North- ern Ontario, and spe- cifically, to study. the numerous and varied problems confronting the LSBE in this delivery of program» and ser- vices."' 'Further the Trustees would like to convey to the Minister their appre- ciation for the wise choice of G. Rodger Allan as the Commis- sioner. Mr. Allan's wealth of experience as an educator, his sensi- tivity to people and to issues, and his apprecia- tion and understanding of the problem of the north made him an ex- cellent choice for a very difficult assignment. His sense of timing, his choice of words, his use of humour on many oc- casions diffused tense -and potentially volatile situations. His report, although not always ap- -- in its entirety y all parties, has, nevertheless, met with general acceptance, con- sensus and support. It is viewed as a comprehen- sive and fair analysis and articulation both of the problems and the resolution of problems long ap- in the North." LSBE maintain the two- campus organization of the Lake Superior High School. On April 26, the board made a commit- ment to the provision of elementary and second- ary education in each community in its juris- diction and consequent- ly to the retention of the Schreiber Campus. These resolutions were passed in 'good faith' by the board and were pre- dicated on the good will of the Ministry in res- ponding as well to the Commissioner's recom- mendation of doubling the small school weight- ing factor. It is impera- tive that adequate fund- ing be available not only to retain a twinned cam- pus in the communities of Schreiber and Ter- race Bay, but also to improve the.program of- ferings in the communi- - ties of Marathon and Manitouwadge. Given the high cost of ad- ministering, operating and delivering programs and services in very small secondary schools in the four communities a substantial increase in the weighting factor must be realized. "The Board supports the Commissioner's recommendation "that the Ministry increase the small school weight- ing factor by introducing an isolated secondary school factor." It would appear that 'doubling the small school weight- ing factor' would con- siderably alleviate the high cost of providing and improving educa- tional programs and ser- vices in the four com- munities." The Board also press- ed in its Response for additional money for improvements for the schools in Marathon and Manitouwadge. "The LSBE concurs with the Commissioner's recom- mendation that capital grants be available on a priority basis to those schools who do not have the facilities to provide BLUE NIGHT". 4 Thank-You Thanks to Relic, Animal, Jigger, Sparky, Carson and all who helped make my stag a "TRUE Corey Fischer Ministry school pro- grams compulsory cred- its.
