In every Contact North site there is also a consignment of 30 to 40 Independent Learning Centre (ILC) courses which stu- dents can register for on-site and then take away the first five lessons. Some of these courses are being offered by teleconferencing in your community. Check with your local coordinator, Sheila Kehres, in Terrace Bay, at 825- 9160. A study last year on the effec- tiveness of using teleconferencing to teach basic science to grade nine students in Armstrong, showed positive results with all students passing the course. According to Bernie Simand, the author of the study, "students seem to enjoy the experience and there is the added benefit that small rural schools can maintain the beneficial aspects of its size and yet deliver a wider selection of courses."

The first two days of the Dryden dog show, Scott was the one to handle Schooner, but, on the final day of the show, because Scott had entered one of her own dogs in the competition, Kenney did the handling. It was only Kenney's third time handling Schooner in competition. More than a show dog Kenney said she had always wanted a show dog but added, "Schooner is also a pet. She's part of the family." Along with Schooner, Kenney owns Tia, a Spaniel Terrier, and three cats - Foster, Kuji and Buffet. Kenney, who describes herself as an outdoors person, said, "when we take the dogs for a walk, the cats 'follow along too and it looks like a herd." Schooner's last dog show will take place this coming February, following upon the heels of her success, Kenney is planning to begin breeding dogs. She said she's already had two or three offers from local people for Schooner's pups and some breeders from the United States have even expressed an interést in breeding Schooner. If all goes well, the first litter of Schooner's pups will be deliv- ered next summer. Kenney said the pick of the lit- ter will probably sell for $450 and the rest for $400.
