Have a great time
working together

Editor:

Every grad class in every school
is backed, helped and financed by
a hard working parent group.

All other grads in Victoria and
on the Peninsula have worked
together with their parents in
organizing a super grad. They have
never done it all alone or done
what the heck they like as the
editor suggests. This usually was
done afterwards at private parties.

What’s wrong with the Parkland
group that they are not all working
with their parent group as every
other school is doing to have a
truly great night? I believe only a
few are complaining but seem to
get the headlines.

Our club was asked to help
provide breakfast and I was sur-
puised at the great response I got
from the ladies, we could almost
feed the whole school. Many other
clubs and groups on the Peninsula
are helping this grad group.

The community is 100 per cent
behind them and their parent
group. Go have a great time kids
with the people you have worked
and shared with over the last years
and never mind the gossip.

Sidney school
victimized

Fires were lit and vehicles drove
on the school grounds at Sidney
Elementary School during the
June 1-2 weekend, Sidney RCMP
said.

Police are seeking information
from persons who may have seen

vehicles tearing up the grass.
Those with information are asked
to call police or CrimeStoppers.

Well I was not impressed, but
that’s progress. I just planted a few
more trees and in five years I'll
have my seclusion again.

We now have 35 new families
living beside us with children
running through the forest and
enjoying the rural atmosphere
around them, and, you know, I feel
good that they too can have a piece
of the Peninsula, just like me.

We are talking about children,
your children and mine. We are
talking about adults and teenagers
who are living in deplorable con-
ditions because they cannot find
housing or the rents are too high.

“Not in my backyard” were
more of the comments. I think this
issue must be taken more seri-
ously, and now!

FATHER’S DAY SUGGESTIONS

Father's Day is quite a dilemma for some people. | have always
found tt difficult to find a unique gift for Dad’s ‘personal enjoyment.’ |
definitely did not want something that would increase his work
(lawnmower, rake, etc.) or something that he would feel inclined to
share, like chocolates (“Gee, Dad, let me help you with those
caramels”). | wanted a gift just for him. Fortunately, | knew that my
Dad liked Zane Grey novels. Books can offer many dads the luxury of

Two new novels that just might appeal to your Dad are the focus of

“Lazarus” by Morris West is an intriguing novel of behind-the-
scenes Vatican politics. Pope Leo XIV, suffering from heart disease
and terrorist assassins, must face his own mortality. Having
previously fought progress, he now sees the world in a new light and
wants to make great changes in-the Church. West is an accom-
plished author which shows in his character development. The main
plot and sub-plots flow easily without confusion to the reader.

“Golden Fox” by Wilbur Smith was an extremely easy book to sink
into; after the first few pages, | definitely wanted to keep reading. The |
story begins in 1969 in London, introducing the reader to London
society, and eventually involving Europe and Africa. The book
centers around the Courtney family whom Smith has used as main
characters in previous novels. The author uses a blending of factual
events with a fictional story of adventure and romantic intrigue.

Either book would make an excellent Father's Day gift. However, if
you know of a preference toward author or topic, Tanners iS sure to
carry the book you're looking for.
