NEWTON VILLE ALIVE by Peggy Mullan Picture above (1-r) Newtonville High School Principal À1 Withers- Hope High School Chemistry Jr. 4/5 teacher Gordon Kribis, with poon of Bowmanville, school teacher Nelson Gardiner of Garden Science Fair judges, retired Clarke librarian Yvonne O'Neill and Port HilL The Newtonville Public School Science Fair was held Monday, April 3. Students arrived at school a little earlier than usual, proudly carrying carrying ,jhe projects they had been working on for two weeks to be displayed in the gym for fellow students, teachers, visiting judges and parents throughout the day and evening. When I visited the school Monday Monday afternoon, as students gathered group by group in the gym, ready to meet with the judges, I was impressed. impressed. The only thing that matched the kids, ingenuity and constructive displaying talents was their outward pride and keen interest in the projects projects they had undertaken for the# science faij. Give a kid a project - and watch the results. Topics ranged incredibly incredibly from popcorn to yeast, from freckles to volcanos, from whales to eggs to magnets to dinosaurs and making butter. There were galaxies and growing plants, rocketships and cablecars, not to mention rocks and all sorts of treasures found down by the water. Surely there are no losers in a science fair such as the dynamic one at our very own Newtonville Public , School April 3rd. Congratulation to all participants. You were terrific! During the past year, controversy has been evident regarding religious exercises in our schools. 1 quote from a recent update... The Ontario Court of Appeal decision and the direction from the Ministry of Education have resulted in changes in the ways schools in Northumberland and Newcastle have conducted religious exercises...On February 23 at the Board meeting the following motions motions were passed: 1) opening and closing exercises which include "O Canada" shall continue in elementary elementary and secondary schools within Northumberland and Newcastle Board of Education. 2) opening or closing exercises may also include "God Save the Queen." 3) opening or closing exercises shall include a period of silence for elementary and secondary schools...during this period of silence students will be encouraged encouraged to pray silently using ' a prayer reflecting the student's faith, (i.e. - The Lord's Prayer) The collective collective recitation of a specific reading from a x particular religious tradition can no longer be permitted as such a practice\ is not in accordance accordance with the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedom." I am glad to see a hint of democracy anyway here. As for "O Canada" and "God Save the Queen", we need all the "flag waving" waving" we can muster. A sad number of Canadians are fed up. Fed up with the numbers of illegal, undesirable, unwanted and unemployed fortune-seeking immigrants immigrants penetrating Canadian cities and rural communities. Candians are not a stupid people. 1 hold on to the faith and belief that the day will come when Canadians will have had enough. The history and heritage of hard work and strength of families will stand tall and face the government - protest and knock down its growing socialist character and get us back to where we belong. If we can instill patriotism in our children, show them pride and allegiance they can hold in their hearts through adulthood, that is .one pretty terrific start. More often than not, I do remember my school days and the medley of "the Maple Leaf Forever!" Little Scoops... - April is Cancer mouth.
