Oh No It's Over! by Tanya McConnell Recently the Journalist Club had a farewell party to celebrate their last meeting. There was music, dancing, decorations, cup cakes and for lunch we had subs. The party was held in the Guidance Room. The members in the Journalist Club arc: Jennifer Moser, Laura Broadbent, Kelly Conley, Jason Moore, Tanya McConnell, Tracy Moriarity and Mr. Reid. It was a really fun party and we were all sad to go home. We ended the party with a song "That's What Friends Are For". A Look Back by Laura Broadbent and Jennifer Moser Now that the school year is almost over let's take a look back on Waverley Public School. We've had a lot of good times. Some things we remember arc concerts, hot dog days, outdoor activities and special clubs. Most of all we remember the teachers. Class trips were also very special for us. On the last day there are awards given out for the student's achievements and the top two grade sixes out of every class get a special award. Some grade sixes will be sad to go but will still be excited to go to a new school. Farewell Waverley! Postscript by Mr. Reid It has been my pleasure to work with this fine group of young writers who kept our Waverley School news column active all year. Our school appreciates the efforts of these youngsters and the excellent co-operation which has been extended to us by the Bowmanville Statesman. Good luck to our young journalists who are going on to the Senior School.

Winters. He addressed a group of about 23 people who showed up last Wednesday to form a fund raising committee committee for Bowmanville's new arena. The. project, which will cost an estimated $2.8 million, million, requires that the community community raise as much as $750,000 in one year. Judging Judging from the lack of enthusiasm enthusiasm demonstrated on June 18, this could be a difficult difficult goal to attain. Councillor Marie Hubbard Hubbard suggested several reasons for the lack of participation participation on the part of the community. "I have had several people ask me who will pick up the tab if the fund raising goal is not met." said the councillor. "An added incentive incentive for everyone will be to actually have the site decided decided upon." The new arena, which will have one ice surface and seat approximately 1500 people, is expecting donations from the private and business sectors of the community as well as the public. The proposed financial breakdown for the project is $750,000 from the fund raising committee; $700,000 from the tax levy; $225,000 from the sale of the old site; $500,000 from the various groups and service clubs in the area; and hopefully $650,000 from provincial grants. Since the expected cost of the site and the total amount of the Ontario grant is not yet known, the projected projected $2.8 million cost could be widely distorted. The.council, which will form a sub-committee to select a site for the arena, hopes to have everything arranged arranged in two months' time. "In the next two months everything will be tightened tightened up." said Jan Devan- tier, Director of Community Services. "This includes the site, the money, everything. But the fund-raising has to start now." Several of the people who attended the meeting were concerned about the small number of people who showed up for the meeting. "I don't think we should jump into something without without the people." said one man. "It looks to me as though there is not enough participation from the community." community." A second meeting has been re-scheduled for Wednesday, July 2 at 8:00 p.m. Council hopes to know how much money will be available available for the project from the Ontario grant, as well as where the new arena is to be situated at the end of this two week period.
