You will have to excuse the mumbles, but it's this thermometer in my mouth: I'm sure you know what I mean - at least everyone at Pickering High does. It's the flu epidemic, and it is taking over! however, for those who plan to survive. here are a few things to look forward to. The Black and White ball. It sounds classy, doesn't it' Well, it is. You have to wear black and white and it is semi formal. Yes, you have to obey the dress code or you will not be admitted. The cost is $4, and the date is Dec. 8, the same day as Air Bands. What a day! To add a little colour to the picture. Pickering High would like to thank all its students who participated in the blood donor clinic last Friday. It was a great success. and those students can pat themselves on the back for doing such a good deed. This week the sports pic- ture is good. We'll start with the junior girls' basketball team. They can finally rest after winning D.Y.S.S.A. last Saturday. They beat Huron Heights 39-31 and went on to win against O'Neill with the D.Y.S.S.A. champ title. The outstanding players once again were of course Joanie Fisher, Jenny Hunt and Nadine Strickland. But this isn't the last we've seen of these girls.

Top swimmers from across the country assembled to compete at this meet to vie for a position on the Com- monwealth Games team. Pickering's own Lisa Flood, the only woman on the Ontario team to win a gold medal in the swimm- ung con�etition at the Canada Carnes, was one of the top qualifiers in this meet. Lisa qualified for the trials in the 100 and 200 meter breast stroke and perf rmed exceptionally at In her first event the 200 meter breast stroke nLiissaa r'ourids went �seeedded 1$4th and made it to the finals with a Lisa Flood 4th.

The Trojan hockey team participated in a tourna- ment last weekend winning their first game, losing their second and just miss- ing a runner up standing by one goal in overtime. They made a great effort, and I am told they will succeed next time. Senior boys' basketball has come into season now, and we were off to a boom- ing start last Tuesday when we beat BowmanviHe81-56. What a way to start off a season. Lisa's best event last year she was seeded 8th and swam close to her personal best time with a 1:14.47 and went into the final with the fifth best time. In an ex- citing race Lisa came back at 50 meter tura at seventh place to a fourth These two Vat swims by Lisa put her in a 4th place position in both events in the country, and with the season just under way things look promising for this Pickering swim club team member. Durham Bd.0f Education Highlights Change Orders Approved The Ministry of Educa- tion has increased the allocations for the unnam- ed Kassinger PS, Oshawa, and the unnamed Ap- plecroft PS, Ajax, by $200.000. each to provide Junior Kindergarten space in each project. As con- struction on both schools had already started, it was necessary for trustees to approve Change Orders in the amount of $249,640. for Kassinger and $246,000. for Applecroft in order for the additional work to proceed. Architect David Mills said costs for these pro- jects will be approximately $40-60,000. higher than if the additional facilities had been tendered as part of the original base contracts. The board will make representation to the Ministry of Education regarding the cost implica- tion of adding the Junior Kindergarten facilities after construction had already begun.

This cam- paign sees commissions from trades on the Cana- dian and U.S stock ex- changes donated to a selec- tion of charities across Canada, all of which are devoted to children. In announcing the date of this year's Miracle Day, Wood Gundy Chairman Ed King said he was optimistic that clients would continue to be as generous and sup portive as in the past. "This charity has con- sistently grown in size through bull and bear markets," said King, ".simply because of the generosity of our clients and the hard work of our stockbrokers across Canada. With everyone pulling together, we are striving to keep the record of growth intact." This Christmas Plant Tree In Africa Canadian Physicians for Aid and Relief planted eight million trees in Ethiopia in the last 18 mon- ths. The group, known as CPAR, is expanding its tree planting program into other areas of Africa where trees are desperately need- ed. In the next year, CPAR will plant ten million more trees in Ethiopia, Mozam- bique, Lesotho, Malawi and Angola. You can join CPAR's ambitious reforestation effort. Make a donation for tree planting in the name of someone who is concerned about en- vironmental degradation and its effects. In Africa, deforestation is one of the major underly- ing causes of poverty and disease. The loss of trees has upset the ecological balance and damaged precious farm land. The soil is depleted of nutrients and severely eroded. In many areas food produc- tion has dropped which is contributing to malnutri- tion and disease. Join the effort to make a healthy world. This Christmas honor someone with a gift of trees for Africa. We will send him or her a beautiful, four colour, 9 by 23 inch poster designed by artist, Barbara Klunder commemorating your donation.

Dec. 6, 1989 t r v I I Club Med Playa Blanca Was Beautiful Place by Bob Watson (Cont'd from last week) I did some tennis playing on one of the many courts available and enjoy this sport which 1 should do at home as well as at Club Med. There were some 100 peo- ple at the village from the Vancouver area, some from the Montreal area and others from California. a few from Mexico and some from France. At this time of year there were some vacancies but as the time rolls towards Christmas and the New Year the crowds get larger. So if you are thinking about going to a Club '.bled you should book ahead to make sure of getting the club you would like. The big event for me was to be grabbed for a part in a pray on the night that the GMs do the evening show. Once before at Club Med Turkoise I was a lovely lady in Swan Lake. com- plete with an outfit that is really made for a slender female: This time they ask- ed me to be the bad guy - the one who kills the princess by choking her to death on the stage! Wearing a black undergarment and black skirt with makeup on my face I snarled at the au- dience and got beat up by the other "ladies" in the cast! I had to leave the stage crying after they beat me up! What a play! Unfortunately the video tape of this show didn't seem to be available and the normal photographer's shot of me is too dark to reproduce here for the readers to see how I looked! Well, there you are. The trip back was very en- joyable too. and my seventh Club Med visit was terrific again. Try it - you'll really like this kind of holi- day for fun and lots of de - stressing activities. Oh. by the way. I had my blood pressure taken by the nurse at the club and went from 170 100 down to 130 90, which Shaws that a trip to Club Med is good for busy executives and those in business. See you at Club Med! . Traditional Canadian Xmas Relive the experience of a 19th century Yuletide during ..Christmas in the Village" at Black Creek Pioneer Village• daily from Nov. 18 to Dec. 24. Christmas in the Village portrays how the pioneer, coming from many dif- ferent backgrounds, celebrated Christmas in Upper Canada. For exam- ple. the religious traditions of Pennsylvania Germans. Irish. English, and Scottish settlers prior to Confedera- tion. For Pennsylvania Ger- mans. such as the Daniel Stong family. the celebra- tion of Christmas was a simple affair. Stong's first home, built in 1816. can still be seen on its original site at Black Creek. At that time, the Stong household might have observed Christmas with a small evergreen tree decorated with home -dyed fleece. dried apples. and straw stars. Gifts were neither elaborate nor ex- pensive. Woollen mittens, socks, and small wooden toys, for example, were all handmade. In 1832, the Stong family built their second home and, although the family showed improved prospen- ty, the traditions of a modest Christmas were maintained. The Christmas tree was more decorative with the addition of fancy -shaped For all your travel needs "We'll show you what Travel Service really means" 284-8300 MORNINGSIDE MALL The mall entrance beside Woolco, Upper Level OPEN &.30 am -8:30p.m.Mon Fn 10a.m. .50.m Saturdays cookies. Garlands of pop- corn and cranberries also adorned the tree. Aline gifts were mainly home- made. omemade• one or two store bought items might be given. Along with this new found affluence was the presence of fruit, nuts, cookies, and simple fruit cakes for the festivities. Traditionally, Pen- nyslvania German children would set out their breakfast plates the night before Christmas, in hope of funding a supply of nuts, fruits, and hoarse -made can- dy such as the traditional molasses taffy known as may. In contrast. Irish Catholics• such as the Daniel Flynn family, observed Christmas as a religious event. The Flynn home, built in 1858, shows a small hand- made nativity scene in the parlor and a lit candle carefully placed in the win- dow signifying to a passing priest that a Mass would be welcomed in their home. This family could afford a few of the Christmas lux- uries available at the general store• such as manufactured toys and em- broidery wools. Sometimes a few oranges and lemons would be purchased to add variety to the Christmas festivities. The Burwick house• built in the 1840s and owned by a prosperous family, reflects both its British background and its wealth. The decorations are quite lavish with swags of evergreen and berries in the dining room and parlor, and a kissing ball hanging in the hall. The kissing ball, Sea Worid's guided tour guests Ret an upclose view of some of Sea World's most unique inhabitants. Animal Lovers Are VIPs At Sea World Sea World of Florida's behind -the -scenes educa- tional tour - designed for animal lovers everywhere - answ•ers the most frequent- ly asked questions about marine life. For example, how do giant killer whales leap through the air? Why do tiny clown fish swim among poisonous anemone? How many eggs does a sea horse lay? Park guests can enjoy a personalized "backstage" tour of the research. breeding and medical facilities at the world's most popular marine life park. Professionally train- ed guides escort visitors on a 90-nutmte walking tour which provides an up -close view of some of the park's most unusual animals in- cluding endangered manatees, graceful sea turtles and exotic birds. Guides are trained to answer even the most dif- ficult guest questions. The tour is constantly changing according to Brett Henry, manager of Informational Services at Sea World. "there's no tell- ing what you'll experience. That's what's special about the tour - one day visitors will see a newborn sea lion, and the next, a rescued whale." One of the most popular stops on the behind -the - scenes tour is Sea World's Manatee Rehabilitation Facility. Manatees, sometimes known as sea cows, are a highly en- dangered species and are often found trapped in net- ting or injured by boats in Florida waterways. Sea Worid's animal recovery team has conducted many rescues and the animals are placed under medical treatment in the park's rehabilitation pools. These slow-moving beasts have fascinated visitors from all over the world. ,Another favourite area behind the scenes is the Avian Propagation Center, where Sea World specialists care for more than 100 species of birds. During the tour• guests may actually hold one of nature's most gentle birds - the sun conure.

The Citation for Citizenship was first proclaimed by the Government of Canada in 1997 on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the first Canadian Citizenship Act. Each year, 25 individuals and organizations are recognized for their outstanding contributions to Canadian citizenship dur- ing National Citizenship Week (NCW ). Both the Citation for Citizenship and National Citizenship Week, which will take place next year from Apr. 15th to 21st, provide us with an opportunity to celebrate our citizen- ship and our pride in being Canadian. Next year will also mark the 25th anniversary of the Canadian flag which will be the focus of NCW celebrations. As a proud symbol of Canada and its people, the flag embodies the distinctive spirit and the fundamental values of freedom, equality, justice and respect for diversity which are at the very heart of Canadian citizenship. If you would like a copy of a brochure describing the Cita- tion for Citizenship program in more detail, please drop by or contact my constituency office at 686-0432. I am confident that there are many worthy recipients in Ontario Riding. The Finance Committee will present its official Report on the proposed Goods and Services Tax on Mon. Nov. 27th. As a member of the committee. I believe that our report takes into account the diverse input we received during our hear- ings over the last two months. If you would like a copy of the report of recommendations and amendments, or a copy of the summary, please contact my office. The report itself is approximately 350 pages long. I would therefore ask that unless you are an avid reader and CST enthusiast, please request the summary. Over the last few weeks, many M.P.'s have had the chance to speak their mind on Bill C-43, An Act Respecting Abortion. Tentatively scheduled for Tuesday. November 28th, Bill C-43 will be put to a vote after its second reading. If the bill passes the vote, it will go to a legislative commit- tee for a detailed examination of its contents. My office has copies of Bill C-43 if you are interested The problem of drug and alcohol abuse is one which af- fects Canadians in many different ways. As a Canadian. I am concerned about the insidious effect that drugs and alcohol have on our communities. As a parent, I recognize the need to make our youth aware of the growing dangers of drug abuse. Finally, as your representative in Parliament, I know that many of you share my concerns over this issue. On May 25th, 1967 the federal government launched Canada's National Drug Strategy 1 NDS 1. The NDS is based on extensive consultation between the federal government, provincial and territorial governments. non-governmental organizations organizations and addiction experts. The federal govern- ment allocated $210 million over five years to enhance ex- isting programs and to fund new initiatives in five federal departments. The objective of the NDS is to reduce the harmful effects of substance abuse on inchviduuals, families and communities by addressing the supply and demand sidles of the problem in a balanced approach tailored to Canadian needs. Strong government action is needed to combat the grow- i ng use of drugs and alcohol in our society. However. the war on drugs cannot be won by government alone. What is needed is the commitment of individuals to take a strong stand against drug abuse. The week of November 19-25 has been designated as National Drug Awareness Week. I urge you to get involved at a community, neighbourhood or parental level, to educate others on the harmful effects of drugs and alcohol. ....................... ....... ..............................
