Ajax Lions hold peace poster contest Eight Ajax elementary schools recently took part in an International Pace Poster contest sponsored by the Ajax Lions Club. The winning student for each school successfully completed the first leg of the international contest in which thousands of entries were submitted worldwide. Out of all the posters created in Ajax schools, the following grade 6 to 8 students best portrayed the contest's theme, 'An Environment for Peace' —Lisa Crupi of St. Patrick Catholic School, Robert Davidson of Lord Durham Public School, Alex Kostic of Lincoln Alexander Public School, Phillip Law of St. Catherine of Siena Catholic School, Kathryn McDougall of Cadarackque Public School, Robin Noel of St. Jude Catholic School, Neilsa Nunes of Lakeside Public School, and Jodie Robitaille of St. Bernadette Catholic School. Ajax dub president Lam' Britton said he was pleased with the work the Ajax students put into the project. 'From looking at all the entries, it was obvious the students really gave the matter a lot of thought,' Britton said. The winning posters now advance to round 2 district competition where the enter. Mali compete azain•t other• from Ajax many schools throughout York, Durham and Victoria Regions. The posters will face stiff competition through the district round and in three more rounds of international competition if one is to be declared the international grand prize winner, Britton said. Lions Clubs International is sponsoring the contest to underscore the importance of world peace to young people everywhere. Exeter replaces Harwood school name in September Harwood Secondary School officially became part of the Town of Ajax's history when a name change to Exeter High School was endorsed by the Durham Board of Education on Nov. 23. The new moniker will become official next September. Exeter was the name of one of the British naval ships that sank the German battleship Graf Spee during the Battle of River Platte off the South American coast during_ the Second World i War. The other British ships that took part were the HMS Achilles and HMS Ajax — which the town and another area high school is named after. Harwood Secondary School currently ± serves students from Ajax, Pickering and Whitby. Beginning next fall, local youngsters will make up the bulk of the school's student body. During the board meeting, trustee Cindy Dudley said area schools and the community were invited to select a name for the local high school. A total of 191 replies for a name change were received by the board. Sixty of those submissions supported Exeter as the preferred option. Applications for seed grants, garden projects sought The Durham Region District Health Council is accepting applications for Health Promotion Seed Grants and Community Garden Projects. Seed Grants provide up to $10,000 to support community action in health promotion. They are intended to help communities identify local health promotion needs or carry out a health promotion project requiring a small amount of money. Community Garden Projects are one-time grants, not to exceed $10,000, that are intended to foster local leadership, improve access to nutritious food, offer opportunities for nutrition education or promote healthy outdoor recreation. There were no grants awarded to Pickering and Ajax croups last year, although three organizations in Oshawa received grants under the program. Examples of community garden activities funded in other parts of the province include planning a raised garden that is wheelchair accessible; creating a community garden in low income neighborhoods or establishing community kitchens to preserve excess produce. The Durham Region Health Council will rank submissions and make recommendations to the ministry of health. Deadline for applications is Dec. 16. J A (t L 'ri ��Salad Bad Dessert.

The drive is on to collect and deliver non-perishable food and unwrapped toys to needy families and the homeless from Dec. 1 to 24. The Ajax and Pickering Salvation Army will distribute items collected by the local dealership. Last year, the combined efforts of all Toyota dealerships raised 250 truckloads of food and unwrapped toys. Gifts for teenagers are always in short supply. Suggested ideas include blow dryers, curling irons, makeup kits, gift certificates, sports equipment and videos. Non-perishable food donations suggested include peanut butter, canned fruit and vegetables and spaghetti sauces. Toilet paper. toothpaste and large diapers are also needed. Local residents are asked to bang their donations to Pickering Toyota at 55: Kingston Rd. The dealership is open Monday to Thursday from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., and Friday and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Local schools and businesses are encouraged to participate in the effort.

GT.4 members take to the road Greater Toronto Area mayors want to join forces to sell the region at international trade shows. The mayors meet periodically in Mississauga to get a consensus for economic initiatives to help the area, including a joint promotion at a trade show, probably in Asia or Europe, next Year.

"We talking about taking the GTA on the road," he said. "There's a higher credibility if we're seen as a GTA body." Stimulating the economy in the GTA is the overall goal of the meetings and that topic was also raised at the last meeting, Arthurs said. "We really have to get beyond navel gazing at the local level and see the economy of the GTA as important," he explained. "What can we do to get the economy moving and how can we work co- operatively to achieve that in a cost- effective manner." :Mississauga !Mayor hazel McCallion, the chair of the meetings, took the opportunity in a news release to blame organized labor and other governments for some of the economic woes in the GTA. "We're over -taxed, over -governed, over - unionized and over -regulated. We got too much red tape." The mayors will next meet in January. Council launches campaign for tobacco -free Durham Every year 13,000 people in Ontario die of tobacco related illness. The numbers are not shrinking. For this reason the Council for a Tobacco -Free Durham Region, a member of Tobacco-FreeOntario, is campaigning to rid Durham of the deadly "weed." The interagency council, made up of many different associations including the Canadian Cancer Society, is planning to focus on tobacco -use prevention and cessation activities. Organizers have sent out requests to all municipal mayors in Ontario to declare Jan. 18 to 24, 1993, National Non - Smoking Week (NNSW). The group hopes that events such as a mall display and picture contest will help inform and educate residents. "Awareness is great. There is a real social climate for change," Sandi Schmidt of the Durham Region Department of Health told The Bay News. According to statistics from the 1990 Health Survey, 81 per cent of all smokers know of the risks involved. As well, 25 per cent of lung cancer deaths in non- smokers can be attributed to second-hand smoke. "We really hope that our efforts will help people see that smoking isn't just a dirty habit, it's a dangerous one," says Schmidt. Massacre rictims remembered A vigil will be held on Dec. 6 to commemorate the 14 women who died in the Montreal Massacre and all other female victims of violence at 2 p.m. in the Town of Newcastle Hall Square in Bowmanville. A group of local women have gathered their resources together to hold this ceremony. This event is the first vigil of its type to be held in the town. THE KIDS WILL LOVE YOU FOR IT BIG BROTHERS, MR.

Noon - 5 pm Wed. 9 am -5 pm :,:....CD Plus is a business with an attitude. And it's that attitude that has made this Canadian company a fast growing success in the recorded music marketing business during a relatively short time. The Pickering store on Brock Road is a great example. Opened barely a year ago on Nov. 28, 1991, the location has become a busy hotspot for music buffs. It's virtually the only place to go in Durham Region to find the best deals and greatest selection of compact discs. But the key to the popularity of this music store is the people who work there. Start with store manager Tony Tarleton, who takes obvious pride in his store and speaks with great passion about the products and people at CD Plus. 'We're an aggressive young company because we feel so strongly about the concept,' he said during a recent interview. 'Working here really i, an opportunity to experience the r,,rord hu�inr" at its a The Weekend Bay News, December 4.5. 6,1992 AS CD Plus tuned into success best.' 'It's not just product to us — which makes it more fun. There's a certain dynamic quality to the company which we'd like to keep." Tarleton speaks from experience. Previous to his direct involvement in CD Plus, he worked as a sales representative for a major record distributor. One of his clients at the time was CD Plus. Tarleton admitted he was so impressed by the operation and the people involved in it — founders David Cubitt and William Birss — that he simply had to get on board. The company itself has rapidly expanded since it first appeared on the scene as a mail-order business. In fact, founders Cubitt and Birss originally operated the business from a basement. However, that humble location soon became obsolete. 'They were overwhelmed by the response they got in their original location.' Tarleton explained. "The concept just grew from there.' Seeing really is believing when it comes to 'experiencing' CD Plus in Pickering. This 3,000 -sq. -ft. store is crammed full of great in-store �• specials, colorful displays and neatly arranged selections — more than 20,000 titles. Store staff are friendly and attentive to those who need the help, but respectfully aloof to those who simply choose to browse. "Our first priority when somebody comes into the store is to make them feel welcome," Tarleton said. "But we don't jump on them as soon as they walk in the door. We understand that most people simply enjoy looking around and may plan on beim here for a half-hour or so.' For local music buyers especially, CD Plus in Pickering offers local convenience and great prices. Time was when only those who lived in Toronto could enjoy such a unique and much -envied combination. "a'e definitely strive to bring the best of what downtown has to offer and make it convenient for people who live in the community.' Shoppers come from as far as Cobourg and Port Hope. Customers also have an important say in the present and future of CD Plus. Suggestion and comment boxes are prominently displayed in the store. A quick and spontaneous sampling of what local customers have to say reveals most have enjoyed their visit. "First time here and very impressed," says one customer's slip. 'More CDs and, of course. lower prices," states another. 'Good selection' and "Right on,' other comment cards say. 'I'd estimate that more than 99 per cent of our customers tell us they didn't know a place like this existed,' Tarleton said. 'dost people tell us they like our selection and enjoy the atmosphere.' The future of CD Plus will bring Digital Compact Cassettes to complement the store's wide-ranging compact disc selection. Tarleton said his store will introduce Digital Compact Cassettes I DCC) sometime next spring. CD Plus will be one of only 18 companies in Canada chosen by the recording industry to launch digital compact cassettes. In the meantime, customers can expect to hear great sounds and find great saving, at CD Plus. And expect to be treated a lot different than at most places. after all, CD Plus and the people who work there are a business with an attitude.

There are still believe nothing encourages a student to move ahead better than success. The Sylvan approach designs success into each student's program, allowing them to become the best they can be. Parents often approach Sylvan at this time of year, as report cards begin showing a pattern they don't want to see repeated into the year. It's the objective of the Sylvan program to design individual programs that allow success to become the pattern for the student's future. Increasingly, Sylvan is also two nights a week, working in groups of two or three to master the skills they need. The program is designed incrementally, so that one success leads to the next. Each step builds a student's self- confidence, motivation and success. All instruction is by qualified teachers. They consult with the student's regular teachers to design the best possible program. It's planned as a continuing program of enrichment and extra help, not just a quick fix. Over the years, Sylvan has found that a student's work continues to designing enrichment programs improve as success builds on for students who want to move j success.
