RRCC now has a 6-13 record overall while being just 2-6 within its own conference.
Kabatay had a whopping 25 kills while also registering nine digs in losing cause last Wednesday.
The Voyageurs were slated to play host Oak Hills on Monday night but the outcome was not posted to the team's website as of press time.
RRCC next will be in action tonight when they host Vermilion CC at 6:30 p.m.
Then they'll welcome the Itasca CC Vikings on Monday for another 6:30 p.m. start.
It was a week of mixed results for Cole Tymkin and the rest of the OHL's London Knights.
The Knights (3-2-0-0) were blanked 2-0 by the host Windsor Spitfires on Thursday night before rebounding with a 4-1 win over the Owen Sound Attack at home the following night.
Tymkin, a Rainy River native, assisted on the Knights' third goal of the game in third period against the Attack to give him five points in as many games this season.
The Knights next are in action this weekend, when they are slated to play a trio of games.
London kicks things off when they host the Sarnia Sting on Friday at 6:30 p.m. (CDT) before facing the host Attack on Saturday night.
Then they'll cap the weekend set in Guelph on Sunday afternoon when they battle the Storm.
The Fort Frances Men's Basketball League is ready to roll for another season.
The pre-season started yesterday evening, with pick-up games running from 6:30-9:30 p.m. at the Fort High gym.
There will be two weeks of pick-up games, followed by a shortened two-week pre-season, with regular-season action then slated to begin in November.
League play is expected to run through March 26 this season.
The cutbacks on the table are the worst that one union leader says he’s seen in his more than 30-year career.
The district asked its unions to discuss the proposals by Jan. 15 so it can bring a formal list of cuts to the school board between February and March, McNamara said.
The district approved its last round of cuts in August. That $895,000 in savings meant fewer nurse visits and taking thousands of dollars from school and library improvement, summer school and programs to help students pass the high school exit exam.
Jarvis said school districts this year are receiving 18 percent less in revenue than what they should be getting from the state to operate. That decrease is on top of an 8 percent cut last school year — leaving districts with 26 percent less in operating funds than two years ago.
The Paso Robles district’s declining enrollment is adding to its revenue loss, Jarvis said.
The district reports that it has 6,781 students this year — 90 fewer than the 6,871 it had last year.
Paso schools employ 340 certificated teachers and 325 classified staff at 11 schools.
It is unclear how many positions could be cut, but more than three dozen are on the list for possible elimination. That follows the issuing of layoff notices to 52 teachers in the spring. Of those, the district hired back 15, but not all full time.
The union that represents classified staff, such as custodians, secretaries and other office staff, says the biggest impact may be on the students.
“School districts are going back to the basics of reading, writing and arithmetic,” she said.
Classified positions to be considered for elimination include four custodians and a district secretary, and a reduction of office staff at all school sites is a possibility.
Other districts in the county have so far been able to stave off such significant cuts, or they have already made them. Templeton Unified School District had a significant cash reserve built up that leaders there are able to use to help cushion the deficit, Jarvis said.
The idea that part of a longtime Paso Robles elementary school might close did not sit well with some parents on Thursday.
“This is just a great little school, a family school,” mother Anna Zamudio said of Bauer-Speck Elementary — a 500-student school broken into two campuses at 17th and Vine streets.
Paso Robles Public Schools is proposing to close the Marie Bauer side of the campus — six classrooms with a playground and community roots dating back to 1887.
Bauer has kindergarten and first-grade classrooms, while the Speck side houses second through fifth grades across the street. If Bauer closes, its classes would move to the Speck side.
Administrators aren’t certain when the school could close, they said, noting that the decision is not final.
Its closure is among the district’s list of possible cuts being sorted out.
If the Bauer side of the school is shut down, it’s not decided what would happen with the campus, officials said. Closing it would mean savings in clerical, custodian and utility bill costs totaling $52,300.
• The closure of the Marie Bauer side of Bauer-Speck Elementary School at 17th and Vine streets.
• Increasing class sizes from 25 to 30 for kindergarten through third grade.
• Eliminating stipends for Paso Robles High School coaches and various extracurricular teachers.
• Cutting teacher pay by 1 percent.
• Cutting school board members’ stipends by 50 percent.
• Furloughs — possibly five days in 2009-10 and eight days in 2010-11.
• The possible elimination of more than three dozen positions, including teachers, librarians, counselors, custodians and secretaries.
• Eliminating music in kindergarten through fifth grade.
Sean Terry made a debut half-century as Northamptonshire earned a productive morning against Sussex at Arundel in the Specsavers County Championship.
The 24-year-old former Hampshire batsman, who has joined the county on a non-contract basis, made 54 in a fourth wicket stand of 119 in 27.3 overs with Rob Keogh, who had 73 not out at lunch on the third day in a total of 276 for 4.
Ollie Robinson had earlier removed Alex Wakely without addition to his overnight 46 with his first ball of the day when the Northants’ skipper was drawn forward and edged to wicketkeeper Ben Brown.
But Keogh and Terry batted with freedom until Terry, who had hit seven fours, slog-swept Harry Finch and Matt Machan took the catch on the mid-wicket boundary.
It was a setback for Northants, but they lead by 98 and are in a strong position.
The case underscores the problem of continued military dominance of politics despite civilian rule, critics say.

Beautiful building site on the St Joseph River. Located 4 miles southwest of Constantine, MI. 1.2 acre lot in Dogwood Point Subdivision. Land is high and dry with approximately 145 feet of water frontage. Area of nice homes.
KishKish, makers of SAM (Simple Answering Machine) for Skype, have now added a lie detector feature to the mix, claiming to detect stress in the voice of your Skype caller, alerting you to any bending of the truth.
It's your $49.95 a year, but we're thinking it'll be another decade or two before voice stress analysis can absolutely detect if someone is lying to you. This thing could cause more problems than it solves. There's good reason why this technology is not admissible in court. The video on the company's website is quite entertaining, though, catching old Slick Willie in a lie about Monica Lewinsky.

2019 Lunar new year bus schedule for 5 Feb.
WARREN — Fastened to the brick wall at the rear entrance of the Sunrise Inn is a smart-looking sign that proudly announces the downtown restaurant was established at a time in the U.S. when consuming alcohol was illegal.
It was during Prohibition in 1929 when the inn came to be, making this year the 90th for its existence.
Haidaris’ father, Thomas, was already involved in the restaurant business when he took over the inn in 1961. Thomas and his brother, Angelo, bought the restaurant in 1979 and 13 years later, Haidaris said, he and his cousin, Dino, took ownership.
Dino retired at the end of 2018, leaving Haidaris with his 50 percent and three new co-owners — his nephew, Thomas Adair; Bobby Miller, who ascended from dishwasher his first day on the job in 1994; and Miller’s father-in-law, Jack Mahan.
They are responsible for a staff of about 70 full- and part-time employees, some, like Corey Azok, who has a month now under his belt making pizza dough to others like John Bolino with decades working at the inn.
The Sunrise was always at the corner of Elm Road and East Market Street, according to Haidaris, but originally, where the dining and bar area is now, was the entire restaurant early on. The dining area was expanded twice, the third and last time in 1979, when it took over space once occupied by a bicycle shop.
The next door banquet hall was an automotive store bought in the late 1980s and made into the hall. In fact, Haidaris’ sister was the first to use it for her engagement party, he said.
And then about five years ago, the former Zamarelli real estate office and some nearby homes were bought and torn down to provide for more customer parking.
The restaurant can seat 230 customers. The banquet hall can accommodate about 170 more.
Its menu has evolved over the years — pizza still reigns king — and the decor, too, but to a lesser extent. The walls are lined with old photographs, and it’s unlikely much will change in the future.
And that’s what, in part, makes Sunrise, the Sunrise, Haidaris said.
“I think people in the crazy world that we are in love familiarity. There are people that actually come in and that is their booth. It’s really like Cheers, when you walk in, everybody says ‘hi’ because that’s the way it is,” Haidaris said.
There are some changes that have happened, and one planned. Near the rear exit is a scoreboard gotten from the old elementary school in Champion that has been painted scarlet and gray and displays the scores of Ohio State University’s football team during the season. It might be used to display the university’s basketball scores, too.
And then there are plans for a Dave Grohl wall to honor the Warren native who fronts the Foo Fighters. The centerpiece is an autographed Foo Fighters guitar, Haidaris said.
The use of fermented milk was not accepted in kitchens traditionally and was considered taboo. Hence, nothing that was made with curdled milk could be offered to the gods,” says author and food blogger, Kalyan Karmakar.
The feral turf war over the Geographical Identification (GI) tag of one of India’s signature sweets, rasogolla, between the states of West Bengal and Odisha that started in 2015, has finally been tamed with the former emerging victorious. The GI authorities in Chennai have pronounced the state of West Bengal as the sweet’s place of origin.
Cottage cheese, popular among the Portuguese, was made by adding citric acid to boiled milk and as they established themselves, they introduced India to the practice. “The use of fermented milk was not accepted in kitchens traditionally and was considered taboo. Hence, nothing that was made with curdled milk could be offered to the gods,” says author and food blogger, Kalyan Karmakar, “Though, its origin can be contested, what cannot be denied is that West Bengal popularised the sweet.” Much of the credit goes to KC Das, who alleges that his ancestor, Nobin Chandra Das invented the sweet, and to other confectioners such as KC Gope, Girish Chandra Dey & Nakur Chandra Nandy and Balaram Mullick in Kolkata.
But for Gorai, laying claims over the invention or ownership of rasogolla is a peurile gesture. “It can be traced back to the time when we started splitting milk. Who is to say where it originated? Food should be excused from these man-made boundaries and politics,” says Gorai.
Getting a pay rise in the border city of Lloydminster could be a matter of crossing the road after the gap between the minimum wage in Saskatchewan and Alberta jumped to almost $4 on Monday.
Getting a pay rise in the border city of Lloydminster could be a matter of crossing the road.
The gap between the minimum wage in Saskatchewan and Alberta widened to almost $4 on Monday.
Minimum wage-earners in Saskatchewan will see their hourly rates rise by 10 cents from Oct. 1, when the provincial rate increases from $10.96 to $11.06.
Lloydminster reacts: Alta.'s carbon tax arrives in a city that's half in Sask.
On the same day in Alberta, the minimum wage increased by $1.40, increasing the lowest allowable wage from $13.60 to $15.
The city of Lloydminster straddles the Alberta and Saskatchewan borders, meaning some workers on the Saskatchewan side could increase their pay by almost $4 by finding work on the other side of Highway 17.
Business owners and managers on the eastern side of the border are bracing for possible impacts by increasing wages, raising prices and reducing their full-time workforce.
Linda Lindquist owns Top Source For Sports, about three blocks from Highway 17 on the Saskatchewan side. She said her staff would be getting a higher minimum wage to match the new Alberta rate.
"It is a very unique city and we have to follow the Alberta minimum wage," said Lindquist.
"Whatever's higher is what we've had to pay. It's more because the industries are oilfield-related so they can get a better job elsewhere, like a better paying job."
Lindquist said businesses on the Saskatchewan side have to "play by a different set of rules."
Raising prices on all stock to offset the wage increase is not an option for Lindquist because some sporting brands only allow their products to be sold at a set price.
She said she has been forced to reduce her full-time workforce and employ more part-time and casual workers on an as-needed basis.
"As far as the employees go, what sounds like a great wage increase, like 'Wow, we're going to make more money', all of a sudden, their hours get cut down because the employer can't afford to have them on all the time," said Lindquist.
The wage increase on the Saskatchewan side is not enough to have any effect on her business, she added.
The province has said its minimum wage increases are based on an indexation formula that gives equal consideration to changes to the consumer price index and the average hourly wage.
"Saskatchewan also has a low personal income tax rate and low-income tax credit, helping low-income earners keep more money in their pockets," said Labour Relations Minister Don Morgan in a news release.
