In recent years, there has been a return to the basics of education - reading, writing and arithmetic. But there is more to life than the "three R's" and fortunately, there are programs open to students at Bowmanvillc High School to broaden and enrich their educations. The French Exchange Program is open to all students who take French in their course of studies. Interested students, mainly in Grade 9 and 10, approach their French teachers who supply them with a six page application application which asks everything but the brand of toothpaste you use. After this and yet another six page application are mailed and assessed, interviews interviews are conducted with the parents and student and the home situation is evaluated. They are thorough. If the student is elected, the Ontario Ministry of Education will pay his or her transportation fare .to Quebec. Kathy Netten, 16, is hosting Sylvie Jobin, 15, from Trois Rivieres, Quebec. Only now does Kathy realize how little French is learned in our Classes. When Sylvie came, she knew much more English than Kathy knew French, Although Although a French Exchange allows the participant to apply ,and to learn the language, ;il also affords the chance !to learn to live with others who are very different. You must learn to "roll with the punches" and be considerate considerate of others. And on the scheme of life, what matters more than the ability to get along with others? The Red Cross leadership camp is a unique learning experience afforded to exceptional exceptional and exceptionally active students at Bowman- yille High School. Because the qualifications for this program program include Honour Roll standing in school, it is "intellectually "intellectually stimulating and challenging." Besides the Red Cross electives like Cardiopulmonary Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and TOUR COMMUNITY YOU NOW. Please give generously to the United Way Water Safety, the 50 or GO participants from all over Ontario play role-playing games and participate in debates. Although the curriculum curriculum of the program is unique and valuable, it is the people who provide the best learning experience. As Mike Schaffeler, 17, phrased it, "it is worth it for the people you meet." The true vaiue of this program lies in the close friends which are made in the four days at the camp near Port Perry. The Red Cross Leadership Camp is one of a series .of summer camps also including Music and Sports Leadership Camps open to 14 to 17 year old students attending attending Bowmanvillc High School. The Rotary Youth Exchange Exchange Program's reputation is well-established in our community. Virtually everyone everyone knows or remembers one of the friendly Exchange Students we've had from the Netherlands, South Africa, Japan, New Zealand, Brazil, Denmark and Australia. Many students from Bow- manville High School have spent a year away in different countries around the world. These privileged few have been able to enrich their educations "by studying for a year in an environment entirely entirely different from their own and undertaking courses and subjects not normally available available to them in High Schools of their own country." David Brown, 17, explains that the program forces you "to grow up eight years in just one year away." The Youth Exchange Program "broadens the outlook" outlook" of its 16 to 18 years old participants by placing them in positions where it is necessary necessary to get along with very different people and different families. As an exchange student, you learn so much about so many countries and their varied cultures. Applicants Applicants are interviewed by a panel of Rotarians to determine determine how well the person would get along in any situation situation and with all people. It is an experience which cannot be simulated in today's educational educational system. A chronic complaint of teenagers teenagers from a small town is that "there is nothing to do." If you take advantage of just some of the opportunities available to you, there is plenty to do. HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL LEAGUE CREATED IN DURHAM REGION By Sam Laskaris It's finally official.

"T FORD season of the Durham Region Collegiate Baseball League. The newly created league will consist of four high school teams in the Durham Region. Eastdale Collegiate from Oshawa, Courtice Secondary School, Ajax High School, along with B.H.S. will be forever forever known as the founding members of the league. The teams will play a six- game regular season schedule commencing on April 15th. Each team will play the other teams in the league twice during the regular season - once at home and one away game. Ontario Baseball Association rules will be in effect for these encounters. As for the situation at B.H.S. it looks very promising. Following an intra-squad game held at Memorial Park last Thursday the team's line up has been finalized. The team will now practise indoors throughout the winter in preparation preparation for what promises to be an exciting season. Under the watchful eye of Coach Thomas Smith, Bow- manville's entry appears to be gearing up for a very successful successful season. The team will have in its lineup five members of last year's Bowman ville Junior Orioles who competed in the Eastern Ontario Baseball Baseball Association. The Orioles led by Brad Bamsey, Ed Bird, John Mutton, Wayne Mutton and Dan Ritchie reached the finals of the E.O.B.A. tournament tournament this past summer. These five players should provide the leadership for a squad that appears to be solid at all positions. Hopefully this will result into a winning atmosphere around B.H.S. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR November 9,1984 The Canadian Statesman, The Newcastle Independent, Bowmanville, Ontario. Dear Mr. James, A front-page article in last week's Statesman reported the Town's treasurer as stating stating that assessment appeals processed to date in 1984 will result in a total loss of $125,000 in tax revenue. I believe your readers should be made aware that this statement deserves to be questioned. The reassessment which was imposed this year upon the property owners of the Town of Newcastle produced a potential $228,000 in extra tax revenue. This was achieved when the Regional Assessment Assessment Office in agreement with Council tacked on a two percent general assessment increase to cover anticipated Hymet Farm Supply and Steve's Diesel have combined to offer B.H.S. co-op student Greg Harnden an interesting work experience. Shown above with some of the diesel equipment are (from left to right; Greg Harnden, Steve Sawyer of Steve's Diesel, Charles Hynes and Dave Metcalf ;of Hymet Farm Supply L>td~~" V Co-operative Education By A1 Woodlock Hymet Farm Supply Ltd. and Steve's Diesel are two separate businesses located in the same building at R.R. No. 2, Bowmanville. The owners have agreed to provide Greg Harnden, a grade 12 technical student at B.H.S., with a unique job placement. Greg has an interest in becoming a heavy equipment mechanic and wanted work experience in that field in order to test his interest and abilities. Hymet Farm Supply, under the direction of Charles Hynes and Dave Metcalf, provide full sales and service for namebrand namebrand farm equipment. While working here, Greg will be exposed to assembling new farm equipment as well as repairing and servicing used equipment. He will be involved involved with all types of mechanical mechanical repairs such as gear boxes, electrical systems, hydraulic systems, power- take-off units and full engine repair. Greg will receive specialized specialized diesel repair training from Steve Sawyer, the owner of Steve's Diesel. This business business is involved with all types of diesel injection systems including including marine, industrial, agricultural and commercial. Greg will gain experience in all aspects of diesel engine repair and rebuilding and dyno training. He will be working with injection pumps, and testing diesel pumps. Greg enjoys his training station and his employers. He is obtaining training and work experience in the field that he would like to enter. As well, Greg's employers are quite happy with his performance. They claim that Greg is an excellent worker, willing to learn and certainly has the ability to do well should he decide to enter the field of diesel mechanics. Greg is receiving invaluable training and experience and I know he is an asset to his employers. I'm. sure both parties are benefitting and that is a good situation. Congratulations Greg and a sincere thank you to Hymet Farm Supply and Steve's Diesel. Principal Welcomes Cartwright Valedictorian losses from successful appeals. If the figure of $125,000 is correct, an additional $163,000 must be returned to the property property taxpayers before the Town, the Region or the school boards can claim to have lost a penny as a result of assessment assessment appeals. Someone is playing games with the taxpayers' money. The "windfall" bonus of $163,000 has not been returned to the hundreds who appealed. James Slyfield R.R. 1, Bowmanville. L1C3K2 A delightful, musical evening featuring the Durham Classical Guitar Society is scheduled for Friday, November 16th, 7:30 to 9:00 p.m. at the CFMX 103.1 FM concert site at the Oshawa terminal. Approximately six members will perform, with Fred Cacciotti, Ian Hunter, Bob MacLean and Richard de Jong firmly booked. Their program will include everything from Bach to more current composers such as Mason Williams (Classical Gas). The Durham Classical Guitar Society was formed by a group interested in the classical guitar in September, 1983. It is a non-profit organization organization dedicated to promoting and furthering the classical guitar. The aim of the society is to sponsor special events such as Master Classes by eminent guitarists and guitar concerts in this region. During the season they hold regular monthly recitals at which their own members perform. At many of these recitals prominent guest artists perform from areas outside the Durham Region. One does not have to be a classical guitarist to join the society. It is for all lovers of the guitar and its music. The society publishes a monthly bulletin that is sent to all members at no charge. They have grown since its inception, and new members are always welcome. The public may attend their monthly recitals, and there is a small nominal charge for non-members. Rogers Cable TV local channel 10 is recording many of their recitals, and you may have seen some of the members perform on the programs aired. In any event, be sure to hear their concert Friday evening, November 16th, at the CFMX concert site, northeast end of the mall at Knob Hill Farms in Oshawa.
