CCPS students study Port Perry Star They may not get to vote for another six years, but they are still well informed about the constitution. Grade 7 and 8 students at Cartwright Central Public School have been analyzing the Charlottetown Accord in class for the past few weeks, trying to learn more about the agree- ment. Four classes broke into five groups to become specialists on one aspect of the agreement. These groups were; Social and with visual charts outlining the highlights of the agreement. These groups then presented their findings to the others. Don Real, principal of the school, said the intermediate teachers chose this method for teaching the constitution as they felt the group participation would aid in the understanding of the document. Darryll McClurg, 12, says he has learned much more about partin the study. He admitted to not knowing ~ anything about the agreement before the project began. He says he understands what is in- volved in the process and is able to follow the news now that he has studied the document. Jeremy Gerrow, a Grade 8 student who studied the Dis- tinct society clause, says he now realizes what makes Quebec distinct from the rest of Canada. His group listed a number of things that make the province distinct from the rest of Canada would have to look at it a little more." But Darryll says without hes- itation that he would vote yes. "I'd vote yes because I want Canada to be a better place with less litter, no racists, better jobs and more money," he says. One thing is certain among both students, after going through the process, they have decided they do not want a fu- ture in politics. Letters to the editor Turned away because of wheelchair To the Editor: What started out as a fun day for my aunt and myself quickly turned into a day of great disap- pointment for us. We were off to the craft sale at the high school - or at least we thought we were. We arrived at the school around 11:30 a.m. Parking was nowhere to be found as I parked right in front of the school so I could take my aunt inside then go park the car elsewhere. You see, my aunt is confined to a wheelchair and it was sprinkling cold rain at this time and I thought it would be easier to take her in this way. I took her inside and then proceeded to find someone in charge to find out if perhaps I could leave my car close at hand. I was directed to one of the or- ganizers, Kathleen Goodway, who at the time was listening to another lady complain that the people in at a time, for safety reasons. Perhaps next year they could spread out through the school a little more, was her suggestion (they do have two gyms) and Mrs. Goodway said they would consider it for next year. When it was my turn, I ex- plained the situation about parking and my aunt in a wheelchair to her and asked if she would like me to move the car. She asked me if I was the lady who phoned her that morn- ing about a wheelchair and I SkyDome and the craft show and that it didn't bother us. Mrs Goodway suggested that we come back later. I told her that I had an appointment later and this was the only time I could bring my aunt. After a few hums and hahs she finally came out and said that wheelchairs and strollers were 'not being allowed into the sale at this time." I couldn't believe my ears. In WE GE GS SNS SE SEN WED FES all the years that my aunt has been in a wheelchair and of all the places that we have taken her NEVER have we ever been told to come back later because it was too crowded. Could you imagine the Oshawa Centre at Christmas time closing its doors to people in wheelchairs and ones with strollers because it was too crowded. I'm sure it's not funny if you get knocked in the ankles by a wheelchair in a crowded place but it's not much fun spending your life in a wheelchair either. Anyway, it was now my task to go and tell my aunt sitting at the front door that we were not allowed in at this time because she was in a wheelchair. I can't find the words to describe the look on her face, but as she hung her head and we left, I hoped I would never see it again.

SANDIFORD (416) 985-9440 As I was putting my auntinto the car, a lovely lady offered to help me and asked how we en- joyed the sale. I thanked her for her offer and explained that we hadn't seen the sale because wheelchairs and strollers wer- en't allowed in at this time. She told me to put my aunt back into the chair and that she would help us get in. I thanked her again but said that our day had now been spoiled and that we would just go home, we didn't need any more hurt. Judith M.
