Believe me, I know. For the past week, I have been travelling what we here at the paper call "the circuit." This term refers to the fact that whenever a particular particular sport is coming to a close, all the championships championships seem to occur in the same two weeks. For an example, in local local schools, the track and field season is coming to a close. This translates into visiting a great number number of the schools to get a picture of the champions. In other words, I'm on "the circuit." If all of the schools competed under one umbrella, umbrella, my job would be a heck of a lot easier. But that wouldn't be fair to the kids. Could you imagine, for example, an all-star team comprised of public school and senior public school kids, playing the high school all-stars to see who had the best bas- COMMUNITY LIAISON GROUP - NEWCASTLE SITING TASK FORCE Low-lovol Radloacllvo Waslo Managomonl NEWTONVILLE COMMUNITY INFORMATION MEETING Thursday, June 28, 1990 7:00 -- 9:00 p.m. Newtonville Hall The Newcastle Community Liaison Group Want To Hear From You The Port Granby Low Level Radioactive Waste Site poses a health threat today.

It would resemble the Half-Pints Midget basketball basketball game that was in town back in December. And I shouldn't have to tell you what team would resemble the midgets. What you may find shocking, though, is that if the game were to become become a reality, the public and senior public schools would have one huge advantage. advantage. Fan support. You see, this past week I have been on the track and field circuit. Within seven working days, I was a witness to six different different track and field championships. Now don't get me wrong here. I rather enjoy enjoy being outside in the warm weather taking pictures. pictures. It sure beats getting getting into a cold car in the winter at 8:00 a.m., to go up to the rink and get a puck dropping ceremony for a tournament. If you had your choice, which would you prefer? The one tning I'll remember remember about tne track and field competitions, is the incredible school spirit spirit displayed. It didn't seem to matter matter what level it was. When the area schools went head-to-head in competition, it wasn't hard to distinguish what school any of the kids were from. And it was never more evident than at the Junior Junior Public School Championships Championships last Tuesday. The meet included the five public schools that operate here in Bowmanville. Bowmanville. At the conclusion of the meet, the schools squared off in a battle of brute force and strength, commonly referred to as a tug-of-war. As the eight member teams of each school took hold of the rope in preparation, preparation, the decibel level of the kids not competing would rise. And ns each school advanced advanced a little further, so too did the noise level. At one point in time, the schools began to chant for their own team, much the same ns the fans in n hockey arena would. It was one of tho finest displays of school spirit I've witnessed so far. To Vincent Massey, Wnvorloy, Ontario St. Contrai, mid Lord Elgin: "Siss! Boom! Bnlil" A cheer from mo to you for putting soino fun back into tho circuit. This happy group of Vincent Massey students won day, June 12. The school scored 242 points and was. the overall points championship at the Bowmanville closely followed by Waverley 238, Ontario Street 226, junior schools' track and field championships on Tues- Central 183, and Lord Elgin 83.
