Council Rejects Move To Drop Old OHS Site
Aldermen clashed over where to place a new high school facility. In a 9 to 6 vote the council opposed the school board’s recommendation to abandon the Algoma Boulevard site. Board members labeled the current site unsound and remodeling uneconomical. The vote followed fiery exchanges about whether council actions should guide or override board decisions as aldermen pressed for a definitive stance on using the present site or pursuing alternatives. The dispute signals ongoing tension between council and the board as they consider options for two new schools at South Park and Algoma Boulevard.

French-Canadian Steams Across English Channel for First Crossing
Jacques Amyot of Quebec, 31, became the first swimmer this year to cross the English Channel from France to England. He started at Cap Gris Nez at 2:38 a.m. and reached South Foreland near Dover at 3:41 p.m. after about 38 miles. The crossing faced choppy seas and mist, but the effort proceeded with a muted reception. He then returned to France aboard the trawler Reland Sonia that had accompanied him.
