ANT Fn 43 ir SRN Sac) We Ba RW letters Planters need public support Dear Sir: In reply to "Water Now" by Joan Aldred This past spring and for part of the summer, we had a flower barrel in front of our store, which was planted the first time by the Chamber of Commerce, the second and third planting were done by ourselves We feel qualified to maintain a simple flower "pol" having suc- cessfully operated a greenhouse for a number of years. After having observed the container being used as an ashtray, garbage bin, footpath and (we support from the smell) a public toilet, we decid- ed we had better things to do than try to maintain this wretched looking relic! Most store owners have done an excellent job on the containers, perhaps it is time they had, at the very best, a little co-operation from the general public. Thank you Vic Ives ives Florest Ltd. Nuclear power (From page 5) ding a full government inquiry to uncover all of the facts and find some permanent solutions to these problems. Thank you kindly Roy Walker Smith Port Perry, Ontario 6 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, Sept. 13, 1983 Director Dear Sir: This week, September 14, 15 and 16th will be the date to cast your vote. I hope it will be in favour of a compulsory checkoff, as almost 50 percent will be used for advertising beef. The beef campaign "Beef Sounds Good' has given excellent results. If we don't promote our pro- duct, we will lose ground to our compet- itors who promote their products with checkoffs which are non-refund- able. It is the consumer who will be the final judge of what product she will buy. Her judgement will be based on what is most nutritious and tastes best for her available dollar; not if a marketing board will give the farmer full return for his invest- ment. It is sad that one farm organization will fight another one (like the Students welcome six new teachers at PPHS by Lisa Edgar Yes, it's that time again, no longer are the halls of PPHS filled with silence. But after tear- fully saying farewell to our sun-drenched summer, we are all back for another fab- ulous year. We would all like to extend an especi- ally warm welcome to the fresh faces roaming helplessly about the school as they strive to reach their classes on time. As well as the grade nines, we have added six new teachers to the staff. In the Business wing we have Kathy Pierson who has joined us from a previous teaching job in Toronto. Muriel Berry is teach- ing Business Commerce part-time upon leaving a position at G.L. Roberts High School in Oshawa. In the English department we have Lynn Watson who is with us after her former teaching position in North York. We are also glad to receive Aeneas Lane who is on an exchange with Ted Mc- Comb. Mr. McComb has been added to the staff of Vanier H.S. in Oshawa. As well as English, Joan Nacc- arato is teaching History also on a part- time basis. Last year Joan was working in the field of family therapy and counselling at the pyschiatric hospital in Whitby. And last but certainly not least, Eric Davis has joined us in the Science and Math departments after a former position at Brock High School. We chatterbox (continued while the bus was moving. They think they're smart, standing up, running around, playfighting with their pals and showing off, but they're actual- ly quite stupid. It's downright dangerous to stand up on a moving school bus, and most drivers will not tolerate it. If a bus has to come to a sudden stop, smuck, that standing child is an instan- taneous human projectile hurtling through the air. He's bound to crush his skull or worse, crash into someone else. When the kids on my bus refused to sit down I'd simply pull over to the side of the road and give them a little bus riding instruction. First, I'd have them knock their heads against the padded seat (it's what would happen if they were sitting pro- perly). Then I'd tell them to knock their heads (gently) against the window or something equal- ly hard (it's what would happén if they were stan- ding up). They got the message and I never had a pro- blem with them standing again. They were basically good kids. Great kids, in fact. And in case I didn't tell you, kids are the very BEST thing about driving a school bus. would like to extend a cheery welcome to our new teachers and also to three former staff members who have returned after a leave of absence. Dave McClure has come a long way home from a teaching position in the Phil- ippines where he taught missionary children and was quoted as saying, "I loved it!". David Simms has re- turned to P.P.H.S. after holding a position as stagemanager in a Toronto theatre as well as a six month teaching position at Harwood High school. Finally, after achieving his Master of Arts degree in Mathematics at West- ern University, we are pleased to have John Barton back in the Math department. Last week may have been the first week of school, but various activities are already well underway. Girls basketball has begun as well as boys volleyball. We are also in search of some enthusiastic boys who are interested in driving on the course, the Golf course that is. There are many other activities to participate in throughout the year, many of which aren't sports for those who are not interested in athle- tics. There's Drama Club for all of you thespians out there and Chess Club, Dance Club and for anyone who is a skilled investor, there is the Stock Market Game. Now, there are a few to get you going because, as we all know, the key to success and happi- ness is participation. So here's to another fan- tastic year at P.P.H.S.!
