Bowmanville High School News By Merrilee Brown, Editor EDITORIAL: "WE CAN CHANGE THE WORLD..." 1985 has been designated International Youth Year to improve society's awareness of the value of 15 - 24 year olds. Often, the opinions of youth tend to be overlooked because they are too "naive" or "idealistic". Many of us aren't even old enough to vote and many of those who are feel that their vote doesn't matter. This leads to a general feeling of inadequacy and unimportance; our youth feel that they have no power to change the status quo. Meanwhile, news of the poverty and plight of Third World developing nations and pleas for donations and aid flood our media. It seems one cannot watch the news without seeing a report from South Africa, Nicaragua or Guatemala. Almost every video program features "We Are the World" or "Tears are Not Enough"; two videos whose profits go to aiding "the starving in Third World Nations." Certainly, the "idealistic" youth care about the starvation and poverty in the world - we want a perfect world - but often we feel that we cannot do anything about it. How can we, as students of Bowmanville High School, "change the world"? In fact, Bowmanville High School has made efforts to help developing nations. This year, our campaign raising money for UNICEF for Ethiopian relief raised the most money of all secondary schools in Ontario. But in these campaigns it is necessary necessary for Students' Council to "follow through" - investigate the reputation of the agency through which the aid is being donated. It is essential to find out where the aid goes, how it is used and how much is used for administration. It is important to use a reputable agency like OXFAM or UNICEF because they administer "good" aid. They administer "appropriate technology" and expertise to train and educate the people so they may become self- reliant and self-sufficient. "Bad" aid can be more destructive than no aid at all. If "inappropriate technology" is introduced along with new food sources which cannot be developed in the Third World Nation, a dependence on the donor nation is developed along with huge foreign dent. Youth Conferences such as the rotary-affiliated "Adventure "Adventure in World Understanding" at Guelph University and "UN Conference for Youth" at Queen's University help to educate youth to all sides of the development issues and to expand the horizons of youth so they may "see" the third world situation in its true light and not be blind to anything but their own little world. They serve to develop an interest and appreciation of the world and its problems. Programs such as "Canada World Youth" offer those youths over 17 the opportunity to learn about aid and development development through èxchanges and practical work projects in developing nations. The suggestions from the participants participants in these conferences and programs are taken seriously. In fact, sometimes they are forwarded to government departments for consideration. consideration. We can also make ourselves critically aware of the Third World situation through the media by investigating all sides of the story; to get the correct perspective of the issues. Writing to one's member of Parliament encourages government to act according to the wishes of its informed constituencies. Even discussion in one's circle of friends, with family or in classrooms is valuable to increase everyone's awareness. awareness. Perhaps, the lyrics of the song "Tears are Not Enough" for Third World Relief by Bryan Adams phrases this best, "We can bridge the distance, only we can make a difference.,.If we can pull together, we can change the world forever.". REPORTONSPORT Saturday, the Bowmanville High School Miniature Golf Team played an impressive tournament at the Port Perry (Miniature) Golf and Country Club, finishing a respectable second of all teams entered in the Durham Region. The question on everyone's minds is this, "Are Matthew Goad, Douglas Brown, Rob Anderson, Anderson, and Steve Kelly (sub) ready for the Mini-Masters?"

Ross Strike opened a law practice, in Bowmanville. Today, almost 60 years later, that practice is still thriving and serving the people of this community. This is truly one of Bowman- ville's most respected family businesses as three generations generations have been involved with the firm. The law firm of Strike & Strike at 38 King St. West in Bowmanville is employing B.H.S. Co-op student Greer Guthrie. Greer (seated) is shown with Mr. Ron Strike. Mr. Ross Strike was joined in 1954 by his son, Mr. A1 Strike, to create the firm of Strike and Strike. Then in 1983 Mr. A1 Strike accepted as a partner, his son, Mr. Ron Strike. At this rate perhaps we should expect an addition to this excellent family business around the year 2012J Strike and Strike have given B.H.S. student Greer Guthrie an opportunity to work in a law firm. Before starting Co-op, Grqer was interested in law and was considering becoming a legal secretary. Her Co-op experience has convinced her that she definitely wants to work in this field. Greer, with the help of Co-op, has been accepted at Durham College in their legal secretarial program beginning beginning in September. She hopes to complete that course and perhaps pursue even more education in the law field. Greer has enjoyed her job placement and is most appreciative appreciative of the opportunity she received at Strike and Strike. She says, among other things, that "it certainly helped decide my future career." She claims to have learned a tremendous amount in a short period of time and that is a tribute to the entire staff at Strike and Strike. As well as the two lawyers, people such as Ms. Lorna Davey, who is a law clerk and legal secretary, have taught Greer a great deal about the law business. The job duties have been quite varied and interesting. She has been performing routine secretarial skills such as filing, typing, photocopying and receptionist work. Added to that however have been such duties as projects, assignments, visitations (Town Hall, Registry Office, Banks etc.), and observation of court procedures. Greer has received good evaluations from her employer and her efforts may result in summer employment at Strike and Strike. I would like to wish Greer every success in her future law career and thank the people at Strike and Strike for their sincere interest in the career education of our students.
