This will be the seventh time in eight years of competing by the school. On December 2 the Grade 5 and 6 class went to Bob McNeil's Dairy Farm, near Dungannon.

A Glimpse Of Rick Hansen By Kelly Cook and Tammi Medd Chris Caldwell, a student at Blyth Public School, who has Cerebral Palsy, had the pleasure of seeing Rick Hansen in London when Rick was passing through on November 27. Rick is on a world-wide tour to collect money for spinal research. Chris was on his way to the hospital for a regular checkup, when he noticed a plane flying overhead with a banner saying, "We are with you Rick." Chris told us that Rick was led through London by a police escort. Other wheelchair supporters followed behind as they made their way through the city. Chris witnessed this from the side of the road. The unexpected event was especially ex- citing for Chris because he also needs a wheelchair for mobility. ' Say No To Drugs By Sarah Allan and Chrystal Cucksey On December 5 the Grade 5 and 6 classes listened to a presentation on drugs given by OPP Constable Marshall, as part of their Values Influences Peers .Program (VIP). Constable Marshall told the students about different types of drugs and the of- fences involved if someone is caught carry- ing drugs. He also described how drugs are carried around in the cities. The real point of the presentation was to discuss the effect of drugs and alcohol on the body, especially on the brain.
