"People mostly talk about higher taxes and hydro rates." He says that while no one has mentioned to him any tax figures, his own business tax "must have gone up 10 per cent." Dunkley also runs a 12- room motel. As regards hydro rates, the fast-growing community of Courtice is not considered urban. urban. Higher rural rates, thcrc- . fore, apply. Courticeans pay about 10 per cent more than some of their fellow residents of Newcastle Newcastle who pay bills to the town's hydro commission. The lack of sidewalks - along Highway 2 is another subject of dissatisfaction Dunkley says he has heard from his customers at the Post Office. "A lot of school children walk to their schools and a lot of mothers walk with' their children along Highway 2," Dunkley says. A former resident of Burnaby, Burnaby, B.C., says he has no gripes. Oscar Gonzaga considers Courtice "slightly rural ... a good place." The Philippinc-bom trained accountant had lived in the Vancouver neighbourhood "many years" before he moved himself, his wife and their two children to Oshawa in 1988. They moved to Courtice the following year. "I like it here," says Gonzaga Gonzaga of Courtice. "It's not like Toronto where everything is rush, rush,rush." He adds that his wife, who has "many friends left behind" in Burnaby, "likes it now." "Our roots are starting to grow here," says the an who emigrated from the. Philippines in 1977. The Philippines is one of the 17 countries whose names decorate the four walls of the gym of Mother Teresa Separate Separate School in celebration of the "official" opening of the newest newest school in Courtice.

About 60 grade four to six students, under the baton of Ms. Carol Wonnacolt, were rehearsing rehearsing last week in the gym some of the songs - including Rock Around the Clock and Saints Go Marching In - they were to sing during Sunday's ceremony. Earlier in the week the students students joined others in pinning a note to the door of Armstrong's Armstrong's office. It reads: Dear Mr. Armstrong: Thank you for the cool air in our class. We are no longer silting in an oven. What happened was that the computerized air-conditioning system in the newly built school went haywire for a couple of days, causing the children to endure excessive heat in classrooms. Armstrong told an interviewer last week. Armstrong had the company company that installed the system "come here in and out, in and out several times before it was fixed." "I was at a principals' meeting meeting in Peterborough and arrived arrived this morning to find this on the door," he said of the note. "Those arc the perks that make the job enjoyable." The school is holding a raffle raffle to be drawn on October 31 at 2:30 p.m. to raise $5,000 to cover busing on school field trips and school uniforms in "an effort to keep cost to the minimum for everyone concerned." concerned." "Ultimately," Armstrong said, "the money will go back to the children." More than 20 prizes - all donated - will be handed out to winners. Also last week relatives and friends buried 20-ycar-old Craig Curtis who died in a single single car traffic accident Monday evening near the junction of Taunton and Courtice roads. About 300 people attended a grave-side service conducted by Reverend David Jones at the Ebenezer United Church cemetery on Courtice Road that runs parallel north-south to Trulls Road. Reacting to the subject of Trull's, or Trulls, Road that appeared appeared in this column last week, a source has telephoned The Canadian Statesman to point out that the thoroughfare should be Trull- without apostrophe apostrophe and without "s" - Road. The informer disclosed neither neither her name nor address. She said her husband is a direct descendent descendent of the Trull family after after whom the road was named.

It is our chance to unite our pasts with our futures, seeing where we have been and where we hope to go. On such a night I am honored to represent the 1991 graduating class of Courtice Secondary School. The past five years contain a lot of memories for all of us. The first time we wandered wandered through Courlicc's Big hallways filled with Big people. people. Everything was huge. But then lime progressed and things changed, at least for some of us. Looking back over the years the one thing that has PLEASE RECYCLE THIS PAPER always been there has been our friends. They arc the ones who share our memories. We grew up together during our teenage years, supporting one another in our times of need, through the good and the bad. As we go our separate ways let us promise to never forget one another, and let us wish one another the best of luck for the future. Our years at Courtice have been a learning experience. Some lessons were learnt in classrooms while others came from outside. Many of the lessons will be forgotten over the years, but some, such as the physics behind a noodle- bender, are meant to slay. To die teachers and the staff who put up with us all of these years, thank-you. It was your efforts and perseverance perseverance that have helped to get us where we arc today. And thank-you also to our families for their support throughout the years. We couldn't have done it without yoif. As we look to the future it lies there empty, waiting for us to fill it with our experiences. experiences. No one ever said that life is easy, but one thing that our years at Courtice Secondary Secondary School have taught us is that the greater the effort we put forth the greater is the reward. reward. No matter what situations situations we face in life, if we remember remember anything from our years at Courtice, I hope it is that. Thank-you.
