New code of behaviour greets kids When the approx- imately 1000 students returned to classes at Port Perry High School on Tuesday, they found more than just new teachers, new books and old friends waiting for them. For the first time ever, each student was issued a written "code of behaviour" which outlines what is expected of students while they are at school, the reasons why such behaviour is expected, and what might happen to them if they break the rules. While the code covers just about everything from ina te dress (short-shorts, bathing suites and halter tops are a no-no) to punctuality, drugs and alcohol, PPHS principal John Gradish explained to the Star last week there are no new rules for students. The suggestion that every high school have a written behaviour code came from the provin- cial education ministry. Specific codes were then written by principals of the various high schools and may contain differences. For example, the sec- tion of the PPHS code dealing with the conse- quences of unacceptable behaviour has been. left 'purposely vague to allow principals and staff flex- ibility in dealing with this kind of behaviour that may occur under dif- ferent sets of cir- cumstances. On the other hand, the codes for some schools spell out (Turnto page 6) Vol. 118 No. 40 Wednesday, Sept. 5, 1984 36 pages Landslide victory Riding on the same blue tidal wave that swept Canada from sea to sea Tuesday evening, Conservative Allan Lawrence was easily re- elected in the riding of Durham Northumber- land. There were babies, babies and more babies at the Port Perry Fair's fifth annual Baby Show held early Saturday mor- ning. Nearly 70 of the little tykes showed up to be showed off, including these feisty fellows, six month old Brady Mitchell of Greenbank (left) and 11 month old Christopher Hoskin of Manilla. Bitter at outcome Almost from the minute the polls closed at 8:00 P.M. and results from across the riding began pouring into Mr. Lawrence's election night headquarters in the Port Hope Legion Hall, it was obvious that he was headed to victory. The only question was just how big that victory would be. By just after 11:00 P.M. with 190 of the 198 polls in Durham North- umberland counted, Mr. Lawrence had run up a whopping 23,080 votes, more than the combined total of the four 'other - party candidates in the riding. In second place with 8128 votes was Liberal Darce Campbell, a Port Hope native son; while New Democrat Roy Grierson of Port Perry placed third with 7405 votes. The two splinter party candidates in the riding, Rhino Brian Flynn and Libertarian Gordon Page polled 334 and 206 votes respectively. The magnitude of Mr. Lawrence's victory was illustrated by the fact that he won every poll in the riding (190 of 198 at press time). Trucker loses legal battle Prince Albert trucker Bob Greenwood has lost the latest and what could be the final skirm- ish in his legal battle with Scugog Township over whether he can park his tractor truck cab in the driveway of his home in a residential zone. Last Friday, a county Beautiful Babies Inside the Star .

The judge also found Mr. Greenwood guilty of parking his tractor cab in an illegal zone and fined him $100. The court decision last week was the latest in a series of legal actions involving Mr. Greenwood and the Township going back at least three years, and in an interview with the Star following that dec- ision, Mr. Greenwood expressed bitterness at the outcome. "I'm still convinced I'm innocent", he said. "But if they (the Township) are going to enforce the by-law, it should be for every- one', he added. He charged there are several other truck owners who park their tractors overnight in residential zones, and they are not being prosecuted. Contacted by the Star, Scugog municipal administrator Earl Cuddie agreed there may be other truck owners breaking the zoning by-law in Scugog. But he flatly denied an allegation from Mr. Greenwood that suggested harassment or singling out. Scugog Township is a small municipality with limited staff for charg- ing and prosecuting under the by-law, explained Mr. Cuddie. Unless there are obvious and flagrant (Turn to page 7) He even swept Mr. Campbell's 'home poll" in Port Hope by a margin of 122 votes to 55. Like the rest of Durham Northumber- land, voters in Scugog Township went solidly behind Mr. Lawrence, while Mr. Grierson for the NDP ran second and Mr. Campbell for the Liberals placed third. The unofficial vote count in Scugog for each of the candidates went as follows: Mr. Lawrence: 4059; Mr. Grierson- 1343 and Mr. Campbell- 1232 wi. THE MOOD As he has in past elec: tions, Mr. Lawrence moved his headquarters on Tuesday night into the large upstairs banquet room at the Port Hope Legion Hall. Possibly sensing that a large victory was in the making, Mr. Lawrence and his wife Moiraarriv- - ed at the Hall just before 8:30. As more and more polls were counted, Mr. Lawrence said even he was surprised at the margin of his victory. And possibly his cam: paign workers and sup porters who gathered in the banquet hall were a little surprised as well. For the mood early in the or Allan Lawrence evening was one of quiet relaxation, rather than wild jubilation. Small groups of people (Turn to page 2) ALLAN LAWRENCE Loves To Entertain George Stinson of Scarborough, last year's winner in the 60 and over class of the Port Perry Fair Fiddle Contest, had a great time entertaining the crowd as they waited for the competition to begin last Sunday.
