They whined and sniveled like a three-year-old. - Any three-year-old can do that. Not one of them had the imagination to call.Don Cherry or that other fellow and say, “Let's do something different. Those women out there can play hockey. Let’s put them on as the Saturday night heroes’. Get the fans able.to identify with the players and she’s all down hill.

There are going to be some parents and ‘students who.will say “Oh my child's rights . are going to be trampled on.” To that I ask ' them why are they concerned about that? Is - your child bringing drugs ‘to school? If so then they. should be caught and punished, if not then they can go to school and learn in a safe environment. #1 would ask parents if they have ever seen how their son or daughter acted once they leave home in the morning and go to school. If not, may I suggest applying to be a non- certified substitute teacher. Your eyes could be opened in a very big hurry. The NHL canceled our life and what \j mercy, and what do we see on TV?

Out for the © exercise, with a caddie to carry the clubs. Then there is baseball. ‘There is-the first pitch, a ball.” Then give the life history of the pitcher, from when he was conceived in the back of a Ford (give the age, model, li- cence number, and the location of the gravel pit). “Here’s the windup,” then give the his- ‘tory of the batter. Yawn. Our women’s team goes out there, clean- ing the world, and what do we give them? Front page? Back page? Comic section, right: by.the bridge scores? Not at all? - What do they get for losing time at work, buying their own stuff, like skates at $400 a pair, no pay, no pension, no endorsements. Only a small yawn: from Squire Barnes, nothing from anyone else. Everyone else is beering at the curling rink, or snoozing at the ball game. Les Watmough, Terrace, B.C. Bravo to school district My son is 3 and my daughter is just about — 1. I dread the. thought: of them being able to buy drugs when they get into school, let alone buying them at the school. I would _ be incensed at'my kid for buying drugs at ” school, at the dealer that sold it, but also - at the school that didn’t, or wouldi‘t, or .couldn’t take the steps to provide my son and daughter with a safe place.
