Cities and towns across Canada have found a new stability in the past year as a result of changing attitudes attitudes towards growth and so-called "progress". John Sewell, the former mayor of Toronto and currently currently Globe and Mail urban affairs columnist, was the Bowmanville Rotary Rotary Club's guest speaker on June 6th and he looked at the changes that have occurred occurred within the municipal municipal context in the last 15 years. In the early 70's people started to look at their towns and cities differently, said Mr. Sewell.tThey began to doubt that the emphasis on growth, prevalent since the end of the war, was important. important. The "revolution" began with fights over downtown expressways and the development development of high-rise apartment complexes. Citizens Citizens were generally becoming becoming more aware of the hazards of pollution, and were concerned with the preservation of neighbourhoods neighbourhoods and farmland. There was a real upheaval upheaval in municipal politics politics as people sought alter native ways of doing things, said Mr. Sewell. Citizen participation became became the key. Planners and bureaucrats became more responsive to the need to involve involve more people in the municipal decision making process; and in conjunction, conjunction, the mystique of the expert expert disappeared. The economic collapse of the early 80's created a terrible terrible feeling of despair in municipalities across the country, and was a recipe for disaster in places like Calgary. It became evident that the "boosterism" of the 50's and 60's wpu),d not re- tuni. V ' As the economic picture improved, a kind of cautious cautious confidence returned with the new stability. People stopped talking about "progress" and unlimited unlimited growth, and started concentrating on economic development.

He mentioned the preservation preservation of older buildings as an example, and also the boom in cultural activities. People want good places to live, not necessarily big places, Mr. Sewell commented. commented. The downtown re-vitali- zation programs going on in almost every urban area in Canada are representative of the new stability, a characteristic of which is a reinforced sense of community. community. The citizens of the municipality municipality are working with the politicians and the bureaucrats toward a common common end, creating a distinctive distinctive community where all can live happily. The Rotary Club, and other service organizations, can help foster the sense of community, Mr. Sewell said, by asking, "What do we do as individuals and as a club to improve the community community where we live?" At the May 23rd meeting of the board, approval was given to have Grade six students students attending Newton- ville School transferred to Newcastle Public School in September 1985. The change will be reviewed for September 1986 to determine determine the possibility of moving moving the grade six class back to Newtonville. Originally, a proposal was püt forth to have the grade one students from Newtonville Newtonville also transferred to the Newcastle Campus. A meeting meeting of parents of Newtonville Newtonville children raised concern concern about the need to move the grade one class to Newcastle. Newcastle. The advantages of having children walk to a school in their community. was of prime importance to the parents. Their position is one that deserves support where it is possible from an educational viewpoint. Although Although Newtonville is one of the smaller schools in our board, it enjoys a high level of parent and community participation. The board's decision reflects reflects my longstanding belief belief that parents can have direct influence on their schools. Indeed, it is my opinion that trustees and administration do not have a monopoly on good ideas. We are quite prepared to listen to and implement suggestions from parents. However, you must be prepared prepared to participate, as did the Newtonville parents, to succeed. succeed. Congratulations are extended extended to Mr. Steel, viceprincipal viceprincipal of Newtonville Public School, on his promotion promotion to principal of Roseneath Public School. Mr. Steel will be missed by everyone associated with Newtonville. His leadership and dedication to his students students have been appreciated. appreciated. We wish him well on his new assignment. It is my understanding that Mr. Steel's replacement will be announced very soon. Clarke High School has been operating a Lifestyle Committee for the past 19 months. The initial thrust of the committee's work centered centered on drug and alcohol abuse. The committee has spent many hours of research research and discussion in order to develop a satisfactory satisfactory approach to the concern concern of substance abuse by students. With the presentation presentation of Lifestyle Day, the committee broadened its approach to include a host of topics of concern to our young people. The success of that day's activities is well known. During the past few months, the committee has re-focused its attention on the drug and alcohol problem problem which exists in today's society. The committee believes believes that the best longterm longterm solution to the problem problem is through a consistent education program. Studies have shown that habits developed developed during youth are continued during the adult years. Employers with extensive extensive substance abuse programs often find a strong relationship between between the drug or alcohol abuse in the employment and a history of abuse during the teenage years. The survey conducted last fall at Clarke High clearly indicated the students students lacked knowledge about what drugs can do to the individual. The survey indicated a definite need for more information about drugs and alcohol so that the students could be in. a position of making an informed informed choice. Like most things in life, a better decision decision is reached if one possesses possesses the facts before deciding. deciding. Students in today's world face many pressures to participate. participate. Peers can exert pressure on a young person to join in and try drugs or alcohol. Often this pressure succeeds because theyoung man or woman is unable to respond to the pressure with the facts. Many public figures support this pressure pressure by giving credibility to the use of alcohol or drugs. As an example, one only needs to look at recent statements by entertainer Neil Young. Young's brother is currently on trial for trafficking drugs. Neil Young's statements suggest that it is not his brother who is wrong but rather the laws of this country. His suggestions suggestions that the substance his brother was pushing was not harmful could easily be believed by the uninformed. uninformed. To implement the type of program which will provide students with the required information takes time and considerable planning. The committee is now ready to proceed with a pilot program program at Clarke. On June 12 the committee will make a presentation presentation to the Education Committee. If the committee committee gives approval a curriculum curriculum will be developed this summer to introduce drug and alcohol education into existing core subjects in grades seven, eight, nine, and 10. The approach is unique. Most approaches to the topic have been through the "guest speaker" method. A periodic discussion discussion of the hazards of drug abuse. The curriculum approach approach is superior because it provides consistent information information geared to the student's student's learning level. Let me state at this time that drug and alcohol abuse at Clarke is no better and no worse than elsewhere in this province. What Clarke does have is a staff and student body concerned enough about the issue to want to do more to help. The school year will be over in a matter of weeks. Again, it has been a successful successful year for staff and students. students. My thanks to the staff of our board for providing our students with a quality year. I trust each of you will have a safe and enjoyable summer vacation.
