Jackfish meet stiff opposition in Mair: Residents of Jack- fish and Marathon squared off in a some- times heated debate on Monday of last week. The Lake Superior Board of Education has een under intensive "lobbying from Jackfish residents to extend the Board's boundaries to take in the rural and wilderness areas not now in the Board's juris- diction lying between the four major commun- ities of Marathon, Mani- touwadge, Schreiber and Terrace Bay. The former school board passed a motion _ sponsored by Terrace: Terrace Ba Schreiber. Bay Trustee Joan Nu- gent which annexed the areas subject to final approval from the Min- istry of Education. Fol- lowing the November elections several Board members raised quest- ions about the adequacy of the resolution and whether or not enough thought and planning had gone into the Mot- ion before it was pass- ed.

Supportees of the. tabl- * ing motion said after the meeting that they thought the original Mo- tion was "premature and carelessly word- ed.- The Ministry of Edu- cation subsequently ad- vised the Board that 'it would not be able to pro- . ceed with the previous Board's annexation mo- tion whether it had been tabled or not because the motion mentioned only vague geographic areas, failed to define specific boundaries and lacked the necessary supporting documenta- tion on the students resi- dent in the areas. The Board of Edu- cation decided to set up a Committee to study the entire matter. The Committee consisted of four Trustees, two prop- erty owners paying tax- es and two property owners not paying edu- cation taxes. The Com- mittee members were to talk to the people in their communities and determine their opin- ions, hold a public meet- ing in Marathon on Feb- ruary 14 to listen to any- thing that anyone want- ed to say about the question, and then make a Recommendation to the Board at its Febru- ary 21 meeting on whe- y Vol. 28, No. 8 Paula Bouchard, Captain of the Novice Team, presents Harold Kodila with the Trophy the Team won at the Northern » Wednesday, February 23, 1983 Ontario Section Championships.
