Hats off at local high school BY TIM CUMMING Expositor Editor There is no place in school for T- shirts promoting alcohol or mari juana, Seafonh District High School is telling students. The school is also enforcing a no - hats policy which was also in effect previous years but which some students say is now being applied in a stricter fashion. These students say the school is there to educate them...not to tell them how to dress. "If we can wear hats on the street why can't we wear them in school?" asks grade eleven student Mike Cooper, 16. He says the school should be able to ban shirts with profane language but not clothes which don't carry an offensive message. Even marijuana shirts should be allowed, he said. "You see people on TV saying it should be legal...if they can say that on TV, why can't we wear a T-shirt in school?" The school argues, however, that its internal dress code is just com- mon sense. "We ask kids to remove their hat, we ask them not to wear clothing or apparel that advocates the use of alcohol or any substance or any type of clothing not conducive to a learning environment," said Jim Moore, principal of Seaforth Dis- trict High School. "I think most parents would agree it is not appro- priate in high school...to promote the use of substances." He said students generally receive a warning if it's the first time they are found to be breaching the rules. Parental contact is one of the responses when a student violates the dress code. Enforcement of the rule isn't hard, said Moore, because '95 per cent' of students comply when they're asked to remove their hats. The SDHS principal says the dress code isn't particularly restrict- ive. He says it simply prohibits any type of clothing which could be considered distracting or not con- ducive to a learning environment. Some students, however, don't feel that hats or. 'beer shirts' are disruptive in school. Grade 12 student J. J. Shanklin, 17, says shirts with alcohol brands on them aren't going to encourage other people to drink. "They're not going to drink because somebody's wearing a T- shirt," he said. At least one student faced a three-' day suspension for wearing a shirt with a marijuana symbol, according to one young person. The high school has allowed hats to be worn on casual 'Hat Days.'

By introducing home pick-up of recyclable materials more material will be diverted from the landfill. The Bluewatcr Recycling Associ- ation is able to handle more types of recyclable materials and has strong market commitments. In 1989 the Committee initiated one of the first recycling systems in the area with a depot style 3 com- partment bin to handle the basic rccyclablcs of glass, cans and news- papers. Assistance in promoting the program was received from local Women's Institutes, the Federation of Agriculture and others and the program was well received. Over time the program evolved to handle the colour sorting of glass and the inclusion of plastic soft drink bottles. Advancements in recycling tech- nology and the development of markets increased the amount of material that could be recycled and the Committee felt the basic depot system was somewhat obsolete. The committee met with representatives of the Bluewatcr Recycling Associ- ation several times and after careful consideration of the service pro- vided by the Association, recom- mended to both councils that the municipalities become members. The Bluewatcr Recycling Associ- ation, a non-profit organization is based out of Huron Park and serves over forty municipalities in four counties. One of the most important issues to the Committee was the sheer volume of materials that could be added to the recycling program, items such as boxboard, cardboard and especially a wide range of plastics. Other services provided by the Association include waste audits to businesses, house- • there. Effective December, 1994 the landfill site will only be open on the first and third Saturday of the month for the months of December, January, February and March, which results in significant savings for the landfill budget and the landfill itself. The Committee felt that residents would recognize that they are paying for the recycling service through their tax dollars and will therefore maximize their use of the service. By fully utilizing the service and practising other waste reduction measures such as com- posting, the Committee believes that people will not have to go to the landfill site as often and therefore felt it could easily justify the reduced hours of the site, especially during the winter months. As well, effective September 24, the recycling bin will be removed from the landfill site and all materials picked up by the Bluewater Recycling Association will be banned from the landfill site. By banning recyclable materials from the landfill site and reducing the hours of the site, the Committee wants to ensure maxi- mum diversion of materials through the bluebox pickup. Recycling has been accepted in the municipalities for five years and the Committee doesn't anticipate many problems with residents accepting the changes. Anyone with questions or com- ments about the recycling program is encouraged to attend an open house being sponsored by the Walton Women s Institute at the Walton Hall on Wednesday, Sep- tember 28 from 1 p.m. to 8 p.m. Representatives from the Bluewater Recycling Association will be in attendance to answer questions.
