Secti e 'nversion 1ri bxT eIl A TRIBUTE TO OUR SECRETARIES By Sharon Michelson We would like to take out hats off to our capable office staff . We are fortunate to have these fine ladies taking care of all wishes and demands of both stuldents and teachers. The head secretary is Miss Vera Clapp ("Auntie Vera") and with her are four other secretaries. They are: Mrs. Baîl, Mrs. Sully, Mrs. Thiele and Mrs. Reynolds. These ladies will do every thing from fixing a cut finger to handing out misconduct slips. Their duties are innumerable it seems. I attempted to find out what each lady did but they were so busy doing it that my task was very difficult., Before school commences in September, the secretaries are busy checking book lists and typing timetables as well as doing, typing for the teachers. The work really -piles up when the hundreds of students arrive on the opening day. Mrs. Thiele feeds the computer and comes up with the number of students registered, the courses they are in and other statistics. Mrs. Sully is switchboard operator and typist. If you forgot to go to school or are absent for some legitimate reason, Mrs. Bal will caîl your home and check out the situation. Miss Clapp is responsible for aIl the duties of commencement such as programs, trophies, awards, invitations, etc. When exam time roîls around there are all the examination papers to be typed and mimeographed. Mrs. Reynolds is busy in student services making appointments and doing all the reports associated with counselling as well as making timetables. On top of all this, each secretary has letters to type/and filing to do. Believe me, the office is a busy, hectic place. The telephones are ringing, typewriters are going and the P.A. systemn is calling someone to the office. There are students at the counter waiting for admit slips, passouts and misconduct forms or feeling sick and needing a nurse. This gives you an idea of a typical day in the office. I am sure that I have just scratched the surface of all the things that our secretaries do. One thing I'm sure of is that without them the wheels of our school would grind toô a stop, WALK-A-THON APPROACHES By Phyllis Fisher Are there any energetic walkers out there' If so, your support and participation would be appreciated in the up-and-coming walk-a-thon. The walk is expected to take place on Saturday, October 14 but if the weather proves unsatisfactory it will be postponed until the following Saturday. The walk itself is 20 kilomieters in length, starting and ending at the Lions Centre. Money collected through the walk-a-thon will be given to the SPLASH organizers who have arranged the walk-a- thon in conjunction with some other activities,. The more money is made next Saturday, the quicker the total cost of the pool will be achieved. The walk will be well- policed and will have some St. Johns Ambulance stations so that help may be provided to anyone needing it. If you would like to participate in this "healthful activity" and you go to Bowmanville, Courtice or Clarke high schools, pledge sheets may be picked up at the main office in your school.

For several months now, Eldorado Nuclear Limited has been mnvestigating potential sites in Ontario for the building of a $100 million uranium refinery. This search has narrowed down to three possible locations: Blind River, Port Hope and Sudbury regions. The process of final selection has required environmental studies of each of the three site areas, from which Environmental Impact Statements have been prepared for submission to the Federal Environmental Assessment Review Office of the Department of the Environment. The three Environmental Impact Statements have been submitted for review by a single Environmental Assessment Panel. Public Hearings will be held in Durham Memorial Temple, Hope Twp.,. on November 7, 8, 9, 15 and 16, 1978. Times are 2 to 5 p.m. and 7 to 10 p.m. Watch your local newspaper for further information. The Environmental Assessment Panel will then present its recommendations on each of these sites to the Federal Government by January, 1979. After further govemment review, a selection of the preferred site will be made. This proposal would still, however, require the approval of the Atomic Energy Control Board which regulates the nuclear industry in Canada. The Hope Township site which is the proposed location for the new Eldorado uranium refinery is located in Concession 11, on lots 26, 27, 28, 29 and 30 and is bounded on the north by the MacDonald-Cartier Freeway and on the south by Ontario Hydro property currently under development as an Energy Centre. Eldorado, a federal Crown Corporation, mines uranium in Northern Saskatchewan and operates Canada's only uranium refinery at Port Hope. It is proposing to build a new Ontario refinery to produce uranium in the form of uranium hexafluoride, which is the form required for ultimate use in foreign-designed nuclear power reactors. The Eldorado proposai is in response to Canada's policy of processing uranium within the country to as advanced a formn possible prior to export. If you would like further information, or if you have any comments or concerns you would like to discuss, please cail us in Port Hope at (416) 885-4511 and ask for Bll Stinson or Angus Fraser.
