s 66 double shifting 99 hz x deaf jim- tj as a resident of the com munity arid a parent of boys who play hockey in stouff ville i feel i- must comment on a game played in the arena april 7 it was a novice class con- test involving six seven and eight year olds it meant the championship the two teams involved ended up in 1st and 3rd places during the regular schedule on entering the rink i notided the two clubs using only half the ice surface the other half wasnt being used at all when i enquired as to why i was told one of the coaches had refused this i found strange as these teams had used the complete ice surface a few sundays previous in an exhibition game and n son really enjoyed the experience on looking into the matter further it was suggested that the first place club had very weak skaters and the coach didnt want to take his players out of their all year en- vironment the third place coach thought it a good idea to pose the question to the boys themselves however the first place coach wouldnt even agree to that so the game went ahead on half the ice it- was an exciting contest with only three minutes to go the 3rd place team was ahead 4- 3 it was then- noticed that the- first place coach was keeping his two best players the ones responsible for all their goals on the ice for more than their regular shift its a thing called doubleshif ting- and in novice house league competition is frowned upon because itmeans some little guy is missing his turn whilethe star goes out to score what happened a goal was scored by one of these two better players tying the game afi this made overtime necessary i with the club i scoring first taking the title again- the same two players were kept out on the ice three shifts or a total of six minutes and were ready to start a fourth the matter was brought to the attention of the referee and the timekeeper and- several times the first place coach was asked to have them removed but somehow they stayed naturally it didnt take the team long to score game over the championship to the 1st place team it was not the loss that we the parents were upset about but the way we lost putting up with such antics and disrespect of the rules is not acceptable- is this the kind of thing we should beteaching six to eight year olds this is not professional hockey allstar hockey or even competitive hockey its house league hockey where every boy should have equal time on the ice lite not a game to inflate the ego of the parents or coaches its for the kids s on this occasion i felt proud that my son was a member of the losing team they were the real champs they learned from their coach the importance of winning and losing as a team they shared their losses and their victories together when are we as parents going to put a stop to such unfair action and exploitation of our children if there are rules stick by them i personally wish to congratulate the losing coach he taught my son a valuable lesson the winning coach got exactly what he was after a title with a twoplayer team a bitter victory in my opinion a thing called character- vs championship v akff conflict of interest t dear jim r we bear so much talk about conflict of interest these days that it is possible to fit anyone into the category if one loses sight of iategrtty in mouthing the statement members of- municipal councils could approve a norks project on their streets set tax levies etc which would also apply to themselves we perhaps would not consider this to be a conflict of interest at this time unless some onscnpaloos

amends yours very truly button armstrong ness iper gcness in recent weeks and indeedlh the march 29th issue of the- tribune i recall reading certain cravings of s trustee concerning conflict of interest being bad for the board of education suggesting that teachers and educators in general should be banned from being members but no thought was given to integrity of purpose personally i would feel more at ease if perhaps it was acknowledged that a teacher on the board you can see and evaluate but what of the trustee who is not a teacher but who is in effect representing the teachers is there a conflict of interest albeit hidden although the trustee is not a teacher is it fair that the one should be punished and the other hot a teacher on the board does hot enjoy that immunity do citizens and taxpayers fed that this is fair should it i not be lip to the individual citizens to make their own decisions as to who will represent them based upon ability credibility and integrity rather than who are the individuals friends and how much influence they can exert as long as citizens are willing to follow like sheep without thinking things through for themselves they cannot hope to get the best quality of material to work for them as long as all opposition is removed any mediocre representation is condoned teachers have leanings he suggested so- perhaps the public should be aware of my leanings since the trustee and the teachers already have known for several years now i believe that the welfare and- educatibn of each individual student comes first with the means of carrying it out next strikes are not necessary in fact if any disagreeing parties really wanted to negotiate it could be achieved the teachers job is to leave no stone unturned in an effort to help the pupils to acquire knowledge self- confidence and a desire to succeed in their respective endeavours let us now go back to the strike in york county in 1974 i was the trustee at a closed session of the board who told board members to get their heads but of the sand and face reality i also told them that if the salary committee came in the next time to tell us that negotiations had returned back to square one againthatyintended to move that the board accept the teachers resignations give them three days to get back to work then go out and look for more thus the committee knew this when they returned at the next board meeting so they themselves made the necessary motion that led to government action to send the teachers back to their jobs billloo for this action the secondary teachers federation dispatches referred to me as a hard line trustee along with others who bad supported the action at least i was not afraid to stand up and be counted my only regret is that i did not act sooner and faster iifthe best interests of the students who i felt deserved better treatment in your opinion could this be construed as a conflict of interest or an ob jective decision i believe that our trustee suggests that this is not possible for ateacher it is indeed common knowledge that the familiar yellowcampaign signs barrett for3oardwere stored in the staff room at the stoifffville high school for all to see on commencement nigtit 1974 itw6uldr also be interesting to speculate on the yellow bowes v for board signs that appeared later when it became necessary to fill the vacancy left by the transfer of mr barrett it would appear that- the pot is calling the kettle black in this conflict of interest issuei think that it is obvious that the teacher candidate the one who is alleged to have a conflict of interest most certainly was not in any way supported by the teacher group one significant point does appear however that perhaps could be noted there were on the board simultaneously teachers and others who werecer tainly sympathetic to the striking teachers and teachers and others who were more sympathetic to the effect upon the students and the education they were entitled to receive who after all were the top priority of thesystem thus it is difficult to lay the term conflict of in- terest upon any one group of individuals to prevent s them from serving in public office although it is an excellent out to get rid of opposition and muzzle the democratic process sincerely jc mcmurray- elmroad stooffvtlle macleans carpet centre 23 main st oppositeiga
