It'that time when the mornings get a littie cooler, the workload gets a littie heavier, and the grade nines actually seem te fit in. --Itfs that time wlien due-dates start popping up, leaves start falling down, and the cafeteria food no longer testes "yumrny." Ah .. reality lias finally set in.1 While it bas taken us ail a whule te get back into things, it is safe to say that the first month has definitely had its shares of ilup"- as well' as a couple of There were more than a few tears -êhed on Sept. 18 when a host of 'DOC's older students were given a rude awakening by having their cars ticketed by police for paring in the new "school bus loading zone." This incident was sparked by a school expansion, probject which lias caused construction te eliminate a large portion of the -student parking lot. The students are now left, "spotless" and must resort to taking the bus. Sorry, guys. On a happier note, the student council has already shown that they plan to make this an exciting year at DOUC. Sept."28 was the year's first -"non-uifoni day" in whicli students were given the opportunity te show their colors. The afternoon was marked by the presentation of <Choices,' an interesting musical film and light show'dealing with a number of serious issues affecting teens in teday's society. The show received outstanding reviews from both students and teachers. The day' festivities were topped off -that evening with the first school dance of the year. There was a good turnout as many grade nines got their first teste of "the big time." The DU'C sports scene is also off to a great start this year, with both soccer and basketball teams tasting victery.

'Weve expanded our bouseware, hardware, ud' autemotive departrnents within the store," says Cadoret. Another benefit te baving extra rooni is being able> te add new displays. It shlows us te present the merchandise a lot more effectively." The new wing is now the borne for the sports and seasonal centre. Dunung the summer you'Il find items like lawn furniture and gardening supplies in addition te summer-related sports like baseball, golf and swimming. This time cf year the contente of the depiartment change te more appropriate items such -as snow rernoval equipment, hockey, sking, snowmobiling and liunting supplies. In the near- future the new quarters will also feature the departep=ent and. liristrnas decorating items.. Since the enlarged store can now handie more custemers, three additional checkout tounters have been added, and a few new employees were hired, bringing the staff size te about 80. Cadoret is very pleasè-*d winth the ýend result. He has special praise for Brian Barten Contractors, a local company that built the new. wing. The same contracter is resonsible for the Paspotauo elbp situated juetsout ofCanaianTire. Caort elsbi tore *miglit have lost some custorners te other Canadian Tire outflets in the region in recent years due te tIke overcrowded, 'situation. But lie hopes te see custoeres back. now that the store is a third bigger, and it's simply easier te find what you're looking for. .Cadoret sunis up the expansion of Whitby>s Canadian .Tire by seying, "It's a good investmnent for the people wliosbop liere. "Hopefully, we won'tliave te make another expansion." But, lie adds, if more room is neeaed in the future,- there will be more construction.
