Either we solve the problem of acid rain and grow maple trees again, or change the LETTERS TO THE EDITOR | recommend that we should rename a na- tional holiday to remember Brian Mulroney for being such a great leader, through thick and thin. Who else could have prevented the USSR and the USA from going to war after the secret failure of the 1988 Moscow Summit? He talked them out of it when he invited them to Ottawa that fall. Couldn't we change Labour Day to Mulroney Day? Aaron Wasylyk, Waterloo The staff and students of Victoria Harbour Public School are planning for a reunion in October, 2001. Several days of festivities are be- ing arranged, including an old-fashioned hot dog eating contest at the site of the old school next to the Harbour View Plaza. The special guest will be Col.

That's what teacher Paul Delaney of Victoria Harbour Public School wanted the students in his grade 4, 5 and 6 enrich- The result is what's seen below: a fictional newspaper front page created, written and edited as a year-end pro- ject for those students in Delaney's class, who have spent HALLEY'S COMICS AND NEWS CHAMPLAIN CITY, TUESDAY, JUNE 14, 2000 How this page was put together part of their study time looking at newspapers. Weeks of work went into the pretend newspaper, and _ during that time the students learned first hand about some of the ins and outs of reporting news stories, writing editorials and designing advertisements. The Midland Times and Penetanguishene Citizen were proud to have participated in this educational project, and Wb YOURE, sear congratulate the students for their work. What follows is the fictional Halley's Comics and News, the VHPS students' idea of a 21st century newspaper. (In the year 2000, the students theorized, the communities of Midland, Penetang, Victoria Harbour and Port McNicoll will have grown so much that they will merge into one large metropolis: Champlain City.) Two years ago the director of Camp Sim- presca found oil under the main lodge while he was trying to fix a drainage pipe. The owners of the camp then sold it to PetroCanada and, with the profits, they built a new Simpresca which you see in our special photo. Three thousand people from all over Ontario joined in the celebrations to open Simpresca II yesterday. A ribbon-cutting was followed by an open pie fight and refreshments for everyone. Simpresca II is very well managed, has con- dominiums instead of cabins, each with cable TV. There are pools and hot tubs to replace the polluted water where campers used to swim Gary (right) checks Shaun for microscopic archaephobias in his hair.

Prime Minister Margaret Kylysaw and President Justin Snilloo spend too much time discussing unimportant issues instead of the main ones. The garbage problem is starting to grow bigger and bigger. We must stop it before all the lakes turn into dumps. More and more will be polluted and we won't be able to swim in them. There must be a solution. Anti-litter nets are being used suc- cessfully in France and Germany. Why not put them in Canadian lakes too? it would mean more jobs making the nets and in- stalling them. Most of the garbage could be recycled, and the non-recyclable garbage could be made into missile cargo and sent into space where the sun will disintegrate it. Looking Back in History 10 Years Ago Little Lake in Cham- plain City (formerly 50 Years Ago | Well known Ar- chbishop Cathy Han- cock was born. 20 Years Ago Ronald Reagan was elected president of the United States.

STARVING PEOPLE FED World-famous scien- tists John Sharp and Stephanie Lidstone have solved the pro- blem of starvation in Africa. Lidstone says she has invented a machine that multiplies food by the millions. Sharp has perfected a plutonium- fuelled transporter that can move any amount of food anywhere within 30 minutes. Farmers will still be needed -to grow the food. Unfortunately each machine will cost five billion dollars to make. Lidstone and Sharp recently joined Pro- fessor Sunner Ton and came up with a partial solution. They wouid move one piece of each kind of needed food and have it multiplied there. The three scien- tists hope to come up with the solution to the cost problem soon. years ago. Simpresca II has no poison ivy because it has no bush. People in The News J.
