I ( 14 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, July 25,1984 m uiy zo, lyty* fhk These students were among a group from the Applewood Centre which travelled to Canada's Wonderland on Tuesday, July 24. The students, along with their teachers and helpers were transported to the theme park by a donation from Charterways, of Ajax. Part of the group is shown here as it is about to leave Bowmanville. A Comer for Poets ANCIENT HISTORY I attended Shaw's public school Many, many years ago; As I ponder o'er memories, It sets my heart aglow. We didn't have the equiment for play Like the pupils of today We used our ingenuity To change our routine ways. During the first world war, We built huge mounds of snow, Selecting opposing armies We'd try to eliminate the foe. The made trenches were freezing cold But with snowballs and such The opposing team finally surrendered Waving flags, they'd had enough. In Spring all types of games Baseball took first place, The rivalry was intense If you lost 'twas no disgrace. In the fall fairs were held in the shed Displays of fruit for a school fair; Beautiful apples from Bragg's orchard From Joneses fruits that were rare. Competition in this display was keen As apples, pears and plums From Lovekin's loaded trees Vied for Rickards, was sheer fun. Choice potatoes from Gilbanks Crydermans and Ashtons too Flowers donated from Trewins Were a pleasure to view. Clemens brought tart creations Jewells displayed cookies by the score After the judging was completed There simply wasn't any, any more. The judges were the local trustees Whom gladly participated in the sports; Giving multicolored ribbons for ■ prizes Commending the pupils for their efforts. Somehow I feel sad, and hate to think That the trend in modern schools Is to smother the imagination of kids And suppress old fashioned rules. It's a treasure to have memories, Even if some are growing dim; What would .we olsters be without them Yes, schoolmates, life would be pretty grim. -- Eunice M. Nicholls (formerly E.

Applewood Students Go to Wonderland Study will Investigate Need for Treatment Plant Durham's regional council has embarked on a study which will see if Bowmanville can continue to operate operate on only one of its two sewage treatment plants. The study, which will be conducted conducted by a firm of engineering consultants consultants at a cost of $20,000, was approved approved last week during a regional council session. A report from Durham's works department staff noted that the Soper Creek sewage treatment facility has been closed temporarily temporarily for a savings of approximately $98,000 in 1983. This leaves only the new Port Darlington Water Pollution Control Plant in operation. However, regional works staff stated that the single plant appears to be capable of serving the entire town. The study commissioned by regional regional council last week will see if any modifications are needed at the Port Darlington facility. Meanwhile, the Soper Creek plant is being kept in readiness in case its additional capacity is required. required.

Neil travelled to Brazil this past year where he spent eleven months touring the country and learning about the Brazilian culture. He is pictured here beside Bowmanville Lions Club President President Klaas Degroot. by Catherine Denny It can get very warm when you are standing only four degrees south of the equator. This didn't come as much of a surprise to Rotary exchange exchange student Neil Munday Munday who recently travelled to Brazil, but it did give his system a bit of a shock to actually actually experience it "It was getting so hot when we were travelling up the coast toward the equator that I didn't want to go any farther," he told Lions Club members Monday Monday evening. Since his return from Brazil in July 1983, Neil has been invited to speak at numerous clubs and social gatherings where he describes describes his adventures as an exchange student. Neil's visit to the Lions Centre Monday evening included included a slide presentation of his trip and a myriad of interesting stories about the unusual sights and situations situations that he had encountered. encountered. At 16 years of age, Neil, waving to his teary-eyed parents, boarded the plane that would take him to his new Brazilian home in Sao Jose do Rio Preto. The city, which is located approximately six hours into the interior of the continent, continent, has a population of 300,000. According to Neil's slides, it was of a Germanic influence. Neil lived with three different different families in Brazil, all from the upper class. "In Brazil there is no middle middle class. It is very different from Canada, there's only an extremely wealthy class and a terribly poor class, no in-between," Neil explained. One house that the student student stayed in belonged to a banker who built a ten foot wall, edged with broken broken glass, all around his yard to prevent burglary. Even so, the house was robbed robbed twice during Neil's stay there. Although the grade ele- United Way Announcement / Joseph A.

"I really didn't like the school hours in Brazil," said Neil, "Classes started at 7:30 a.m. and ended at noon, which meant that I had to get up at 5:30 in time to meet the school bus." Of course, an early school day is necessary in Brazil because of the hot climate. The sun becomes so hot by noon hour that it would be impossible to concentrate in a class room. However, aside from the school system and the fact that there is no snow at Christmas, Neil loved Brazil. "The people are great, and the cities are green and beautiful." he said. By the time the trip was over, Neil had not only learned a great deal about the Brazilian people and their life-styles, he had also picked up an extra language. language. "I learned to speak Portuguese Portuguese when I was there," Neil explained, "and I hope that I don't lose it," he added. The young exchange student, student, now back in Canada over a year, still keeps in touch with his Brazilian families and friends and hopès to return to the country country some day. ?-■ ?.. ---, Carrie Schumacher won nine plaques at Festival '84 in Ottawa on the July 1st weekend.
