A From left, Victor Dupuis prepares him- self, Marie-Therese Maurice tastes, and Bernadatte Marchand savours the full Sunday was a red letter day par excellence for the clergy and members of Ste. Croix Roman Catholic Church in Lafontaine. A plaque honoring the memory of former (deceased) pastors of the church was unveiled at a special afternoon mass. The event was intended to be one of the highlights of the church's year-long 125th an- niversary celebrations. Taking part in the celebrations was Auxiliary Bishop Leonard Wall. Rev...

Appropriately, since it is, in English, the Cattail Festival, cattail soup. Award of merit Rescuer's bravery praised Kevin Merritt, 25, married and a father of one child, and soon to be a father of a second child, received recognition Monday for his part in saving a man's life last January. Merritt received a certificate from the Royal Canadian Humane Association Monday evening at the town council meeting through Mayor Ron Bellisle. The other man who helped pull Victoria Harbour resident Martin Beausoleil out of Penetanguishene Bay on January 9, Walter Mroz, 21, has moved to Medicine Hat, Alberta, Merritt said. Merritt quietly allowed after the presentation that he thought his getting the recognition was "all right."' His mother, standing nearby, said that she first learned that her son was going to be presented with a certificate through a newspaper story. The Midland Point resident said that he has not seen Beausoleil since Jan 9. He and Mroz were on the ice in the vicinity of the town dock on foot when the front end loader Beausoleil was driving broke through the ice-covered bay. Merritt and Mroz were directing Beausoleil to clear a racetrack that was to be used during the Penetanguishene Winterama. Lisa Jean Gignac, a local Girl Guide who has received one of the highest awards a Girl Guide can be given, the Canada Chord, received a certificate of merit from the mayor on behalf of the town. Approval given for two special education classes for Area 3 Area 3 of the Simcoe County Board of Education, which includes Midland, Penetanguishene and Lafontaine, will have in September two new special education classes.

A report of the board says that within Area 3 two of the existing comprehensive class programs can be reorganized into Junior and Intermediate Opportunity classes and so create places for 16 more pupils. But two new comprehensive classes are needed to accommodate primary and junior students who are on waiting lists.
