( Il) The Canadian Statesman. Bowmanville. June 17. 1987 All the Happenings at Knox Christian School ByDianaMoztert The 1187 Safety Patrol Jamboree It was Thursday, May 21, 1987. We were gathered at the Flying Dutchman, Bowman- ville, at 8:30 a.m. Two buses arrived already half filled with patrollers from the Whitby-Oshawa area. These students ranged from grades five to eight. Most of us boarded the bus rather shyly, but after half an hour from our pick-up point a buzz of voices sounded through the bus. We were on our way to our nation's capital, Ottawa ! We arrived at the Carleton University at about 1:30 - 2:00 p.m. The Durham region was to take the sixth floor dorms. At 4:45 we were (as the Durham region) to meet together in the common room to count heads and head towards the cafeteria for supper. This room is rather like a recreation room. Sofas and chairs lined the walls and a large color T.V. was to the back of the room which we could use occasionally. After supper one of the policemen took us to visit the Rideau Canal and Lake Rideau. These places were forbidden the rest of the weekend for our safety. Then we all boarded a bus and went shopping at a mall nearby. When we got back to the university grounds we had the choice of going to the dance, arcade room, souvenir store (which was in the university) in our region common room, or our dorms. At 11:00 it was lights out, and at 11:15 loud knocks came down the halls to count heads again. Friday, May 22,1987 - Today was our only full day in Ottawa. After breakfast the 2,000 Safety Patrols from all over Canada loaded buses to head for tours of downtown Ottawa and the National Museum of Science and Technology. Next, we headed for the Government House where a girl was presented with a medal for saving the life of a child during her patrol. This was presented by our Governor General Jeanne Sauve. We had lunch at the Civic Centre while speeches were being made by some members that had made this jamboree possible and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (R.C.M.P.) band played for us. Due to rain we missed the R.C.M.P. Musical Ride and a Show by the Sky Hawk Parachute Parachute Team. ■ Next was dinner time. The rest of the day was identical to the previous night except the Durham region had the special privilege of using the University swimming pool for an hour. Saturday, May 23,1987 - Our last day in Ottawa! When we awoke we were disappointed to see a thunder storm. The usual Safety Patrol Parade was cancelled so we debated whether to go on home, go shopping again or tour the Parliament Buildings. (This was not on the schedule for patrollers from Ontario but was only for the other provinces.) After the tour we were on the road, on our way back home. We were all very tired but would soon leave our newly made friends so we kept our eyes open and talked and talked. Some promised to write letters and others promised to phone. We waved to one another and shouted good-byes. Each Durham Patroller received a white hat, regional and town pins, and a bright red jacket donated by McDonald's and G.M. We had to wear these during the whole weekend. It was an excellent and exciting experience. I had a lot of fun and made many new friends. I encourage all the bus patrols on in their important job. Maybe you can go next year! Happenings from Newton ville Mrs. Inez Boughen is now convalescing at home after her recent stay in hospital, confined to a wheel chair.

The diorama displayed the insect that the student chose to do in their project, In art they got the chance to create their own insects out of construction paper and other materials. These colorful and wacky creatures were displayed displayed in the school library recently. Poems, puzzles and other activities on insects were done by Mr. Mills' class and later put together in a colorful booklet.

PERILS OF PHOTOGRAPHY -- If it wasn't for bad luck, we wouldn't have had any luck at all. It seems as though the photography gremlins have decided to strike all at once and in the same place. One photographer has has negatives negatives coming out too dark (possibly caused by the lights from a nearby telephone flashing on during the processing). Another photographer had a piece of the shutter curtain getting in the way of each photo. This causes every picture to look as if the shark from Jaws has taken a bite out of it. (Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the darkroom again ) Someone else, who shall remain nameless, (Because Peter doesn't want anybody to know about this) has just discovered notes for a couple of photos taken at Bowmanville High School.
