looks as if his time is going to be just as full as it ever was and that nine oclock may come even a bit earlier than usual but before all those painting and repair jobs get underway bob and his wife plan to do some travelling canada the united states and europe provided i have the money he adds hes also a- ham operator although i havent done it for years it may be time now bob and jean hammond have been in their home which boasts a 150foot lot in the back and 100foot frontage since coming to stouff ville in 1954 it was an ominous beginning because it was also the day hurricane hazel paid her respects the hammonds found the basement full of water when he went to check it the stairs gave way and he found himself swimming in it just as well that curling er woodworking was his game bob also started at the school that year 1954 the first year of its existence it was much more the village at mosphere then with just 10 teachers and 250 students i knew everybody when i first came hammond recalled almost wistfully it seemed now the school has closer to 1000 students and although hanrumvnh didnt come right out and say it the impression was there that it was tougher now there wasnt the rapport there used to be that doesnt say he hasnt been happy ive enjoyed it he said weve had good staff principals and kids and one of the biggest en joyments for him has been is seeing former students who were now in the same profession coming back to see him originally from north bay bob came to stouffville by way of the rcaf whom he served overseas with and toronto where he worked for an xray firm in between he took summer courses later when a chance came for him to go to western canada he decided to stay in the east and finish his schooling however as there werent any accredited courses in the wood working line in canada he had to go to buffalo state teachers college to get his degree all told between working and taking courses it was seven years before he could hang up his woodworking shingle now its all behind him as a profession from now on it will just be taking it easy but first theres that trip across canada or europe or the- states whichever comes first then theres the garage it needs painting and those huge grounds need careful care and there may be some practice teaching and then theres that retiring heck hes just getting started let penalty fit the crime by john stephens york cowtty board of education trustee joey was an intense aggressive player so it wasnt surprising to hear a stream of invectives aimed at anyone and everyone as he left the court in a losing cause that day untetauatdy the game played after school hours was on school property and his stirring obscenities were picked up by observing teaches one of whom became a target the principal was nice but said this time my son you have gone too far and suspended joey for three school days for conduct un becoming joey who by this time had apologized to the teacher- and his father felt that the penalty far outweighed the deed and appealled as was their right to the board of education for review it just happened that the following monday a board meeting was scheduled but by that time- joey had already lost one day of school the matter raised two serious questions a did the circumstances warrant suspension and if so was it worth three school days b since joey had appealed to the board was it right that joey should be suspended during the period before the board made its decision theres hardly an athlete around who at one time or other hasnt done precisely what joey did joey will not gain credit for innovative in vectives theyve all been heard before but surely this was a matter for league personnel to determine the penalty not the teachers the nrincinal or the board just bow far is the disciplinary arm of the school to extend and bow does this penalty rank with other threeday suspensions well never know tbejsecond point is more serious if the board bad considered joeys appeal to be of merit or had considered the length too long how does the board propose giving back the student the suspended days of school this point was debated before the board and its staff took the position that if the suspension were not immediately in force the appeal not withstanding then this would tarnish the authority of the teacher the majority of the board agreed we pride ourselves on our rights as free people magna carta the presumption of in- nocence until found guilty but howare our young to learc that we really mean what we say when a school board can subvert those rights in this authoritarian manner if we really believe in natural justice and the right to a fair trial arent those principles to be practised in our daily lives on what basis can we derogate from those principles for if we do we teach the young that these rights depend simply on the whim of those in charge thats authoritarianism not democracy surely weve come much farther than that since the days of king john people arent born democratic those rights were fought for and its up to all of us to be vigilant in preserving them the words joey used are not uncommon on school grounds or elsewhere in the community for that matter why should joey have been singled out for such attention and given a three day suspension which in other cases has been reserved for fairly serious misconduct what gained prime minister trudeau cute press cost joey three valuable school days fuddleduddle reunion claremont mr and mrs walter weath- miller of stoney creek spent the holiday weekend
