Photo by Mark Reesor, Whitby Free Press Whitby-Labrador student exchange includes local tours By Cheryl-Ann MacKean Geography students of Anderson recently par- ticipated in an exchange program with students from Nain, Labrador under the supervision of Anderson teacher Keith Jones and a Nain teacher. The senior students from Nain arrived on March 2. Each Nain student was paired with an Anderson partner and stayed in a Whitby resi- dence for one week. The Whitby student of each pair was a gide and showed the Nain students around Witby and the surrounding community. On March 3 the students met the mayor of Whitby and photos were taken at the Whitb3 Civic Centre. Later that same. day the students tourec Sandoz-Ancalab and had lunch at McDonald's, compliments of Sandoz. They also went swimming at the Whitby Recreation Centre in the afternoon and in the evening they had a potluck supper. On March 4 the students participated in a tour of General Motors, Knob Hill Farms and the Oshawa Centre. The next day students spent the morning attending classes at Anderson and in the after- noon they visited surrounding dairy farms. On March 6 the exchange students went to Toronto and visited the Toronto Maple Leafs at Maple Leaf Gardens during a practice. Later that day they toured the Skydome. On March 7 Whitby students and their fam- ilies were free to plan their own activities. They crossed the border into the U.S. on Monday for a tour of Niagara Falls. Exchange students from Anderson and Nain went to Labrador on March 9. Anderson students remained in Nain until March 16. The exchange program was funded by the Secretary of State. The funding covers the cost of travel. Students provide their own spending money. The amount per student was $200. Anderson in Law Day semi-finals The Durham Board of Education recently appointed a committee to undertake respon- sibility for recommending a name for the new education centre and several of its internal and external facilities. The education centre is being constructed on the same site as the new Whitby secondary school on Taunton Road, just east of Highway 12, Whitby. The board intends that the naming of the administrative building and some of its areas will follow the spirit of its policy for naming schools, with some leeway for the different nature and uses of the facility. The policy states that con- sideration should be given to names of persons who have made a significant contribution to our society locally, provincially or nationally; to historical names that once applied to the area; to the name of the district the facility will serve; or to the name of the street on which the facility is located. Names of current employeces or trustees of the Durham Board of Education cannot be considered. The new secondary school attached to the education centre has already been named Sinclair Secondary School, a historical name commemorating the site of the former Sinclair public school on which the new complex is being constructed. As well as the education centre, areas that may be considered for naming are the outside plaza area, main floor atrium, board room, the large east and west committee rooms, cafeteria, professional library and a variety of smaller meeting rooms throughout the building. Members of the public are invited to submit names to the committee. Anyone interested in suggesting a naine for the building or any of its areas should send the name and its rationale to trustee Joyce Kelly at the Durham Board of Education, 555 Rossland Rd. W., Oshawa L1J 3113. Only one naine should be included in each submission, and all suggestions must be received by April 30, 1993.

Don Von Chovi in the the second round of the tournament in Belleville last week. But Anderson got enough points to defeat Napanee, play- ing the defence,and win the eas- tern Ontario division of the con- test held annually by the Cana- dian Bar Association-Ontario. "Our arguments were better," said Anderson OAC law teacher Brian Lake. "We were chipping away with things the defence had to aflirm." Cross-examination and cred- ible witnesses were among the keys to Anderson's victory, says Lake. "We snuck in a couple of loa- ded questions that the other team didn't object to." He noted that the judge was "impressed with the logical sequence of our arguments." The Anderson team is made up of Maureen Quinlan, Nelson Kwong, Adnan Naeen, Paula Griffith, Soroya Campbell, Rob Halpin and (standby) Alan Arthur. Lake said the Anderson team performed much better than in the first round competition against Donevan, but could have "put the finishing touches on the case" with a week or two more of preparation. Anderson students spoke to a local judge to gamn more knowledge of the criminal law process bfore the most recent competition. Lake says the Anderson team "will be preparing for every even- tuality" in the semi-final round. The same case, in which Don Von Chovi is charged with mur- dering Sean Penney at a Fly- dome concert in Toronto, will be heard. Student art display at gallery Art by Durham Region separate school students will be on display at the Robert McLaughlin Gallery in Oshawa unti March 28.
