Education with Terry Hawkin's A couple of years ago I went to a banquet, and one thing from that banquet has clearly remained in my ?nemory. The banquet was a school band event, and involved hosting another band that was visiting from the United States. After the supper, the usual introductions and speeches were made by all the people at the head table. First a word from the visiting bandmaster. As he went to the microphone, ther~e was thunderous applause. The members of his band were on their feet clapping as hard as they could. He gave a brief speech and, as he sat down, he was given yet another standing ovation. Next came the host bandmaster. Not to be outdone, his students jumped to their feet and shook the'rafters with their applause. Again, as he sat down, he was given a standing ovation. Now an educational officiai from the visiting band was speaking. Hie, too, received a standing ovation. iEven I got a standing ovation, s0 you can see what a remarkable event this must have been. I have thought about ail these standing ovations, and have wondered about them. A standing ovation is something we reserve, to use only when we are greatly impressed by someone, and want to clearly indicate to them the great esteem in which we hold them. It's the type of action seen when a brilliant performer finishes his presentation. It's a way we show respect when an admired colleague gives a farewell speech at a retirement dinner. It's a way of saying thank you to a valedictorian at a graduation exercise. And, yes, 1 realize now, it's a way a group of students in a band say thank you to their leader. But why a standing ovation for just about everyone else at the head table? Well, I know the answer to that now, too. Students very much want to be proud of their school and, if given an opportunity to do so, they willdeclare it loud and clear. Pride in one's school is worth a standing ovation. I find it interesting the way students show pride in their school. Even some students who at times don't seem too interested in school will don a jacket with the school name on it. Students constantiy will tell you with pride what school they attend. And listen to the words of the schooi cheers: every word declares that the school is the best in the worid. Students should be proud of their school. Indeed, they need to be proud of their school. Everyone needs to know that they are part of a good team. It gives hope, it gives pride, it gives security, and it gives success. And success for our young people is one of our major goals.

David Beasley, dîrector of special projects with the firm of Marshall Mackiin Monaghan Ltd., told the town's planning and develop- ment commrittee last week that the former Trudeau property located east of Soper Creek would make a desirable addition to the Bowmanville urban area. Speaking on behaîf of Shickedanz Developments, the owners of the property, Mr. Beasiey told the commit- tee Thursday, November 22, that the land is relatively easy to service with water and sewer facilities. It appears to be a logical rounding-out of develop- ment," said Mr. Beasley. He pointed out that the land is in the first water pressure zone, making water services easier to instaîl. I addition, the projerty could be servi-ed-by water and sewer facilities aiready planned for Shicke-,, danz properties located on the west side of the Soper Creek. These lands have already been approved for future deveiopment. Transportation to the property would be by way of the Training School Road, which the Town of Newcastle would like to see upgraded to serve as a major arterial street with a 401 interchange. The property in question wouid have a population of 1,800 persons and would have about 500 units. Developers of the property pointed out that this growth would not occur in the immediate future. Mr. Beasley expiained that Shickedanz is only asking that its land be included as part of the Bowmanville urban area in the Durham-Regtiofficiai Plan. The planning and deveiop- ment commitee decided at its meeting last Thursday that it wiil consider the future of this tract of land along with plans for the Pine Ridge Training School located north of the property. The planning department for the Town of Newcastle recommended in a report that the extension of the Bowmanvilie urban area to include the former Trudeau farm is "premature". How- ever, the planning committee is not prepared to accept that verdict until the future land use designation for the Pine Ridge Training School is decided.
