10 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, Octoher 18, 1978 1EDITORIAL Once upon a time, a long, long time ago, there was a :§mall school whicb consisted of five portables, two class rooms, and a small gym sbared with the. elententary scbool next door. The name of this small but friendly school was Durham Christian High Scbool. That school still exists today but like most tbings it has changed. It seems like a long time has passed since the days of the portables, but actually it hasn't been more than two years. It is amazing how much can change in such a short time. We've came a long way. For some of us the portables are a fond memory of what Durham used to be. Students in grade eleven and especially grade twelve remember going to school in the portables as a time of anxiously awaiting the long promised new school. It is true that in'those days when you walked tbrougbi the school you couldn't help but hear complaints. There were comn- plaints about. the portables being too hot in the summer and too cold in winter. The lockers were too small and crowded, purses were being mutilated ahl over the school, and for the sports fans the gym was too small and there was neyer enougb equipment. But between the complaints there was a feeling of close- ness and companionship that could not be feit in very many schools. Everyone was work- ing together for the new Durham. Everyone partici- pated in tbe work-a-thons to raise money. Now that we have finally seen the dream came true, having our own beautiful building, we can look back at the old school and know that those old portables played a very important part in the istory of DCHS. The port- ables are the bistory of DCHS. Something was lef t in those portables that couldn't be brougbt to the new school. The new school is a whole new beginning, and people wbo experienced the portables can certainly feel it. Now instead of walking on a small sidewalk from class to class you can walk on soft carpet, in your sock feet if you want. What an improvement. Not only bas the building .cbanged but the people bave also taken on a different spirit. There is still the odd com- plaint about this or that but scbool life in Durham is certainly better. The school is very rapidly growing as anyone can see. Recently we heard tbat the ministry wants us to change our name if we incorporate. The change of our name, "Durbam Cristian High School", to a new one seems to be appropriate considering the other changes we bave made. PROPERTY FOR SALE Prime bidnlot nte Village of Newcastle.

DURHAM COMMUNITY ORGANIZES JAMES WARD CONCERT The major entertainment event of the first part of the '78-'79 scbool year at Durbam is caming up on October 3th. James Ward, vocalist, pianist, and composer, will be in concert at Bowmanville High School. Ward is tauring south- ern Ontario, and Barbara Siebenga, Barbara Nieuws- ma, Gardon Blyleven and Sylvia Vanejenhuis are argan- izing the Bowmanville con- cert. James Ward is 28 years old and lives with bis wife Beth and daughter Katy in Chat- tanooga, Tennessee. Two of his aider brothers are now teacbing at Durham. Ward. bas a B.A. degree in music from Covenant College. He bas produced twa albums: "James Ward Himself" and "To the Glary of Gad". In 1975 he farmed a jazz-rock group called Elan whicb toured the States and Canada until 1977. He'is now perfarming solo. James Ward is a very gifted pianist witb a pawerful and well'cantralled vaice. He ap- pears ta enjoy bis audience, and by watcbing bim perfarm you can tel be means every note and word. His sangs show a lot of jay and hope. Two examples of such sangs are: "Isaiab 53" and "He Shaîl Be Satisfied." Referring ta bis sangs on bis album "James Ward Himself", he writes, "I am nat preaching. These sangs are Christian attitudes. I have nat arrived but I trust I am learning. " Travelling witb Ward for the first time in Canada, is Michael Blanchard, vocalist, pianist, and guitarist. Blan- chard bas been an active perf armer in the United States since 1967 but is new in Canada. He attended Berklee College of Music in Boston for four years. Blanchard bas produced twa albums: "Can- ticle" and "Quail". He bas 1 also written the music for the music drama "Gamaliel" and thesoundtrack and script for the animation "Lazarus".' Many of Blancbard's songs bave bumoraus, stary-type lyrics describing everyday events. He also takes different Bible stories and retelîs tbem in a comical up-to-date way that belps us identify witb people like Abraham and Daniel. James Ward describes bim in this way: "His namne is Mike Blanchard, and ... bis concerts are a spellbinding weave of hilariaus and inti- mate explanations of bis sangs, followed by the tune itself, delivered with polisb and masterful articulation. THE DURHAM CHRISTIAN IIIGH SCHOOL THING Editor: June Brinkman Durham Christian Higb bas had a newspaper for eigbt years naw. It is caled The Durham Thing. Wben we were asked if we wanted a column in The Canadian Statesman, we decided we wauld keep The Thing as aur naine. I hope you enjay aur column and begin ta learn wbat Durham is ail about by reading it. DCHS Breaks Enrotiment Record This year Durham bas its higbest enrolîment ever, witb 153 students, compared witb twa years age when the tatal was 88 students or so. The student population bas almost daubled. Since last year the school bas bad appraximately a 25 per cent climb in enrolîment, and campared ta two years aga an almost 100 per cent gain. If we were ta bave a steady increase af 25 per cent, in three years we'd have approximately 300 stu- dents. By that time we wauld need a bigger staff, a larger student lounge , and maybe an addition ta the, schoal Students Plan Work-a-thon Many arganizatians bave walk-a-tbons ta raise money. Instead of walk-a-thons, Dur- ham bas been having work-a- thons for several years. The students go out and work for other people wbo pay us wbat 62 JACKMAN ROAO BOWMANVILLE, ONT.

To wn Attempts to Accommodate Sign At Chieken Villa The Dur-h8m Tin Durham Christian High Sehool Bowmanville, Ontario Director of Planning, Leslie Kristof said in order ta conform witb the existing by-law Scott's must eitber re-locate its existing street sign or remove it and put one on the front of the building instead. "Just because the sign is in the wrong location does not warrant two signs. If they're saying it cant be seen then they should move it, said Mr. Kristof. It was pointed out that the sign must be set back 10 feet therefore it can't be moved forward any furtber. Chairman of the committee, Bob Dykstra said something sbould be done about the by-law since council bas bad to deal witb problems arising out of its restrictiveness on at least tbree different occasions since he bas sat on council. Councillor Don Allun recalled the purpose of the by-law in the first place was ta do away with the clutter of baving too many signs. The committee decided to refer the matter back ta staff requesting it ta give due consideration to allowing tbose businesses wbicb have met setback criteria ta have identifying signs on their buildings as well as on the street. edIvano REALTY LTD.

The town's planning and development committee is trying hard to accommodate a request by Scott's Chicken Villa to erect a sign on the front of its building in- addition to the one on the street. A representative of the Chicken Villa said, the restaurant needs additional identification because its existing sign is blocked by trees and the sign of the business next door. He said this municipality's by-law concerning signs is the most stringent he has encountered. The sign by-law permaits only one identification sign on an interior lot in a commercial zone. The only times when two signs are allowed are in the case of a corner lot or a building with multiple uses, for instance a shopping centre. Mayor Garnet Rickard said he considers such a by-law somewhat discrimin- atory. they think the students are worth. Those students work- ing for older or disabled people have been sponsored. Durham is having another work-a-thon on October 26 and 27. Our goal is $7,500, s0 if you see one of the Durham students on your door step, don't turn hlm or ber away.
