Storm closes college By Karen Bennett Cheers rang through the

Boon campus cafeteria Feb. 7 when it was announced to shut down the campus at noon of the storm blasted through Ontario.

that

The worst storm this winter, struck Ontario with winds gusting to 70 kilometres an hour. Weather officials issued a severe weather warning, and county school board officials sent thousands of students home at noon. Reports of poor visibility and predictions that whiteout conditions would get worse led Dave Putt, director of the campus, to close early.

But the cheers that rang through the cafeteria didn’t reflect everyone’s attitude. Marisa Vettor, a law and security student said, “I was pissed off. I had to drive in for one class. They knew the storm

was brewing. They should have considered closing before students left for school.”

Sue Kroezen, a second year business student, had similar resentment. “I had a hard time getting out of bed. They should have closed it earlier.” Paul Hollingsworth, a broadcasting student, said, “They built it up. Everone was acting like it was the most horrible storm, but it wasn’t that bad.” “I was mad about being thrown out whether we wanted to or not. I was screwed out of production time,” Hollingsworth said.

Kenneth Hunter, college president said “No matter what we do, when it comes to storms, people are upset. When the Ontario Provincial Police advise to get off the roads, it’s probably a pretty good reason to get everyone home.” “I sion.

decision, ’’said Hunter.

While cheers rang through the cafeteria, Hunter philosophised, “It is the omnipotence of God to know in advance what weather conditions

are.”

Shopping controversy rages The Lord’s Day Act which currently prohibits stores from opening on Sunday unless they close on Saturday, has been undergoing much controversy in the region recently. While a decision on whether or not the law will be changed will not be made until June both supporters and opponents of the act are campaining hard. Critics of the law argue that it is unfair to large businesses and cuts into their potential profit. This has been demonstrated regionally when Robinson’s department store opened the two Sundays prior to Christmas and hundreds of customers turned out to participate

Lord’s Day Act will be ruled unconstitutional. The Human Rights Act prohibits discrimination on the grounds of religion. Business people feel the Lord’s Day Act discriminates against those whose religious beliefs do not condemn Sunday shopping.

Last week a group of 25 churches in the K-W area agreed to protest any steps taken to alter the Lord’s Day Act. They feel to allow Sunday shopping would totally change the context of Sunday as a day of family time and worship. They also think the law is only marginally enforced. Stores that illegally open Sundays are fined but some still chose to open because the profits they can make are much greater than the value of the fine. I, for one, would like to see the Lord’s Day Act done away with. I do attend church but I would continue to do so if the stores were open; I certainly don’t subscribe to the theory that people will do away with their religious faith to attend $1.44 day. I don’t think the law is fair. If bowling alleys, pinball arcades, movie theatres, raquet clubs and restaurants can open, why not stores? I fail to see the difference between going to a movie on a Sunday afternoon or going shopping. Having the stores open on Sundays would make them more accessible to people who work alternating Saturdays or to

For example: some restaurants use real whipping cream made with milk and some use a oil-based product, which restaurants use which?
