The man was using the con- trols outside the truck at Innocon Cement on Notion Road to dump a load of gravel when the load shifted, tipping the truck over. Durham Regional Police report. Police aren't certain how the accident occurred. Because the man was breathing but uncon- scious when emergency crews ar- rived, they believe he may have begun to run as the truck tipped. but was knocked down by the ve- hicle or fell to the ground. The man couldn't remember what happened when he regained consciousness, but complained of back pain. There were no wit- nesscs. The 'Ministry of Labour was called to investigate. The man remained at the Ajax and Pickering Health Centre at press time Friday. Police didn't have any more information on his condition.

And while staff "tried to help out where we could" after Moth- er Nature dumped 30 centimetres of the white stuff Jan. 2 and 3. Town director of parks and facil- ities Everett Buntsma says his department will not be able to ac- commodate the additional re- quests. Currently, the Town has a list of 200 seniors and disabled peo- ple who applied for the program in late October and early Novem- ber. Under the program, the Town will clear the driveway 'apron'— the bottom 10 to 12 feet — to en- sure an emergency vehicle has access to the home. It will also clear the sidewalk and a walkway from the sidewalk to an entrance to the home. It does not include clearance of the driveway. About 80 of the homes are cleared by a contractor, while Town staff handle the rest. The program is more restric- tive than that offered in Ajax, which had 300 seniors and dis- abled residents registered for snow clearing before last week- end's snowfall. _ That number had increased to 400 by Thursday and will contin- ue to grow as requests come in, as there is no limit on how many can register. In Ajax, the Town also clears the bottom of driveways, the sidewalk and a walkway at no charge. But for $50 a season, it will also clear driveways. ow On a apoles atfer $50 biU credit) .

"I'm guardedly optimistic fi- nancial affairs for 1999 will con- tinue to strengthen;' says Mr. Pa- terson, -and that we will be in rca- sonably good shape, all things considered. Probably the greatest source of budget anguish last year was all the uncertainty.

A draft bylaw for a se- ries of salary adjustments for the mayor and council- lors was presented to them Dec. 14 and is on the agen- da for final approval Mon- day. If the bylaw is passed as drafted, councillors: annual salaries would rise immedi- ately (effective Dec. 1) from $15,479 to $17,5(X), go up again on July 1 to $19,000, and reach $20.0X) by July I, 2(XX). That's an increase of 13 per cent immediately, 8.6 per cent in seven months and 5.3 per cent in 2(XX), or 29.2 per cent over the 19 - month period. The mayor's pay would rise at the same intervals, from the current $40,741 to $45,0(X) (10.4 per cent), S475(X) (5.5 per cent) and $50,(XX) (5.3 per cent), or 22.7 per cent over the 19- Politicians decide Monday how much more they're worth WAYNE ARTHURS Believes proposed pad• hikes reflect increase in workload month period. For the mayor and re- gional councillors, their pay from the Town of Pick- ering is in addition to the $22,648 per year they re- ccivc for their work at Durham Council. That salary is also going up to $23,214 on April I and to $23,795 on April I, 20(x). The draft bylaw, if passed as is, will also pro- vide Pickering politicians with some new benefits. There will he a severance package of one month's salary per year of consecu- tive service, to a maximum of 24 months. Council members will be entitled to a severance payment after three consec- utive years of service (one term of office) if they either resign, leave office or are defeated in an election, as long as they haven't been removed from office by ju- dicial process or disquali- fied under federal or provincial legislation. If the mayor were to lose the next election in 2(XX) his severance package would amount to more than $70,((X). If a councillor were to leave after three terms he would receive about $15,0)0, or just under $50X) after one term. The Town will also match Council members' RRSP contributions to a maximum of five per cent of their annual salary, retroactive to Jan 1, 1995. As well, the bylaw in- cludes a provision for a per - diem payment for council members for full-day meet- ings of Council called by the mayor (such as a budget meeting), to a maximum of five days per year. The per diem rate would be 0.5 per cent of the annu- al salary, which would work out to $ I (X) per day for a .:ouncillor and $250 for the mayor after July 1, 2(Xx). Council members have not received any salary or benefit increases since Dec. 1, 1990. A three-memher citi- zens' task force established by Council did recommend salary increases for the mayor and councillors in 1993, but they were never implemented. .Mayor Arthurs has said the proposed increases re- flect the increase over re- cent years in the workload and responsibilities of Council members. Negotiations running smoothly: CUPS School support staff, Durham board continue talks While school tx)ard sup- port workers are threatening strikes across the province, negotiations are going smoothly here between the public board and members of the Canadian Union of Public Employees (LUPE), reports a local union leader. Don Bryans, head of CUPE Local 218, says it's a "possibility" that collective agreements may even be reached between the Durham District School Board and its educational assistants, custodial and clerical employees this month. "We hope to conclude a collective agreement with them soon;' he says. "We're actively pursuing a collec- tive agreement with the public board. That's all I can say right now" Mr. Bryans notes the sit- uation in Durham is differ- ent than that in Toronto where workers are threaten- ing to walk off the job. He reports discussions between CUPE and the Durham Catholic District School Board are not slated to begin until March 31. Pickering budget picture brighter this year PICKERING From Pare 1 to 7.7 per cent a few weeks later. Be- cause of all the delays, residents didn't know how much tax they were going to pay until the end of November when the Town was able to send out the final tax bills for the year. The final Town tax increase was 2.9 per cent, with the help of an. I I th-hour $950,000 grant from Queen's Park which in effect alleviated some of the increase Pickering was facing as a re- sult of the loss of a portion of the pay- ments -in -lieu (PILs) of taxes it re- ceives for government-owned proper- ties, such as the Pickering nuclear sta- tion and the federal airport lands. Mr. Paterson says another small tax increase may not be avoidable this year. The provincial grant was a one- shot deal, he notes, and Pickering will have to find that money elsewhere this year. As well, Council had to approve more than $2 million in debt financing to cover the 1998 capital budget, though not all the money will neces- sarily be borrowed in the end. The good news is no new down- loading costs are expected this year. As well, a `holiday' on the payments the L Town has to make to OMERS, the pen- sion fund for municipal employees across the province, is expected to con- tinue and will save Pickering approxi- mately $1 million in 1999, about $400,000 more than last year. The payment holiday may continue into future years as the fund has a big surplus, but that hasn't been decided yet. Increases in user fees already ap- proved and some to be considered are expected to bring in a bit more rev- enue, and departments are reviewing their expenditures to find more ways to reduce costs. But Mr. Paterson says there are oth- erwise "no significant new sources" of revenue on the horizon. "We're going to do absolutely everything we can but a small tax in- crease may have to be considered. Council will not be looking at that with any pleasure, if that turns out to be the fact." The finance chief is hoping to have a budget before Council by the :nd of March and the Town's tax bills out at the normal dates. Things may be complicated, how- ever, by the provincially -mandated cap on commercial and industrial taxes. Durham Region is still working out the details of the cap, which will limit tax increases (due to reassessment only) on commercial and industrial proper- ties to 10 per cent in 1998 and five per cent in 1999 and 2000. (Supplemen- tary tax bills sent out in 1999 will deal with any over- or under -payments which may have been made on 1998 taxes before the cap was in place.) It means Pickering businesses ex- pecting assessment -related decreases over the cap limits will not get them, and those expecting increases greater than the cap amounts will not have to pay them. Mr. Paterson says it's not clear what will happen in the fourth year -whether 100 per cent of assess- ment increases and decreases will be implemented then. In any case, Pickering may have to delay sending out commercial/indus- trial property tax bills until everything is sorted out. There is also some question as to whether the cap will be applied to the PILs received by the Town, which may have an effect on revenues. Pay days: A comparison Pickering Council members are planning to raise their pay for the first time since 1990. Here's how their new salaries would compare to those of politicians in other large Durham Region mu- nicipalities, based on current amounts...

Locally Durham school boards are working to meet the needs of a culturally diverse student population. The bottom line of the school sys- tem is to give our children the best ed- ucation possible, but local boards are realizing sometimes the means to an end must mirror today's society.

BY CHRISTY CHASE. Stuff writer Walk into a library and you'll see people sipping on coffees as they read newspapers or books and sitting at computers while they get up-to-date information for a pro- ject from a CD-ROM or surf the Internet. This is the new generation of li- braries with new attitudes, new services and new ways of surviv- ing financial cutbacks. The 90s has been a volatile decade for libraries. They've faced rapidly -changing technologies, rapidly -shrinking budgets and rapidly -changing patterns of use by patrons. To survive, libraries have made their own changes, actively raising funds and providing new services, such as public access to the Inter- net. Ask what's new at any public li- brary in Durham Region and li- brarians will be sure to tell you about new public computer sta- tions, new remote access for mem- bers and new initiatives to ensure all residents of Durham have equal access to electronic resources. Catalogues are computerized and going on-line so people can check out library contents without having to go into the library. Re- mote access allows people to dial in from home, put books on hold and check out when the h(x)ks they've got are due. Automatic di- aling programs place phone calls to people to let them know about due dates and fines. "It's involved all aspects of ser- vice delivery now;' said Ajax chief librarian Geoffrey Nie, about com- puter technology. Electronic resources have spurred new terms, "libraries with- out walls' and "virtual libraries;' he said. The library is no longer a building, a collection of books. -It's an exciting time to be in the library field," said Jana Schuelke, chief librarian of Os- hawa Public Library. "We find with our Internet sta- tions, they are in use all the time. People race when the doors open to sign up for them" "I see the biggest benefit in the high -demand areas, the projects for school... where people need a section of a book but not the whole thing" said Cynthia Mearns, chief librarian of Clarington Public Li- brary, which will offer public ac- cess to the Internet early in 1999. "This way people can get infor- mation and it doesn't take books out of circulation for other peo- ple;' she said. "I see it as very, very useful in that area. We could never keep up with the demand in actual books "It's a whole new world," said Uxbridge Public Library chief li- brarian Cathy Thomson. "We can't function without it. We're finding our Internet service has taken off tremendously. We've had approxi- mately 1,500 people signing up (to use it) since we got our Internet ac- cess in July. That's pretty good for a small library." Nancy Harsanyi, chief librarian in Whitby, said electronic re- sources are "ideal- for current in- formation, encyclopedias and such. The information is up to date (printed resources are often out of date before they go to print) and it cost less and is easier to get CD- ROMs than it is for a complete new set of encyclopedias every year, she said. CD-ROMs can also he updated every few months. But even this technology is get- ting eclipsed, said Tom Bonanno. chief librarian for Scugog Public Library. These references are up- dated three times a year while the Internet is updated weekly. he said. In Scugog, the library is a com- munity resource for Internet access where people can check their e- mail, surf the Net and groups can have web pages created. The li- brary has six public stations now and will add four more. "We're the information manag- er for the area;' said chief librarian Tom Bonanno. A Tech and Tots program that teaches the basics of computers to three- to five-year-old children has 40 kids enrolled with a waiting list of 20. "We can't hold enough semi- nars on how to use the Internet;" said Sandv Cameron, chief librari- an in Pickering. He said libraries, which used to concentrate on basic literacy are now branching into computer liter- acy. His staff is kept busy training patrons and even staff from other libraries. While computers are dissolving library walls, the libraries them- selves are drawing closer. A re- gional library system isn't in the books, so to speak, in the near fu- ture but a spirit of co-operation and sharing is increasingly evident, the librarians said. "We already have a strong co- operative network," said Ms. Harsanyi. -Not everybody realizes the sharing of resources that al- ready goes on" For example, if you're a mem- ber of Ajax library, you can get library card at Oshawa Public Li- brary and use its resources for free. But the new technology is mak- ing it possible for libraries to s more resources.

But, thev still retain their traditional values and goods fur their citizens. Here, Krystal Hilton (left) and Samantha Hu research a school project on Shakespeare at the Pickering Public Librar.. and ensure all residents have equal access to the Internet. he said. Ms. Schuelke said the libraries are working on North American standards for public Internet ac- cess in libraries. The standards are one station for every 5,000 people. Libraries here can't meet that stan- dard but they are working towards it, she said. Ajax, for instance, hopes to add four new stations, a bringing its total to seven, in 1999. Oshawa will see seven added. "One of the goals for the mil- lennium is to connect the whole bare country;' Ms. Schuelke said.

Some have seen their circulation of books and other traditional library items de- crease in the last few years while the number of people using the li- braries has stayed the same or even increased.

But that's not the case every- where. Mr. Bonanno said his li- brary has been experiencing in- creases. The circulation four years ago, when he first arrived in Port Perry, was 130,000.

This (computers) is an enhance- ment. Things change and this is just a new form of information. It's just another format. "I can't perceive of a situation where you go into a library and there aren't any books. It's hard to haul around a PC while you can put a paperback in your briefcase and read it on the subway." "What the Internet does is lets people work at home which is a good thing," Mr. Cameron said. But it can also lead to isolation which is where the library comes in, he said. "Public libraries re- main a place where people congre- gate. They may not come here to join a group. This is not a group activity. This respects the individ- ual." joli`-,...,ty,,, 'w. :, 3,:dv ,Kti=,E;••. ,. .. � .:-..'ey+iir...�- � . +r'' AM PAGE 8 NEWS ADVERTISER SUNDAY EDI110N, January 10, 1999 Durham invited to enjoy winter fun at Windreach Farm Four hours of winter fun comes free of charge Satur- day, Jan. 23. Windreach Farm near Ashburn celebrates its l (hh anniversary in 1999. And to kick off the year, everyone is invited to Wintcrfest. The Winter Festival offers skat- ing, tobogganing, snowsho - ing, a bake sale, petting i(x) and mini carnival. Recreation co-ordinator John Watkins said Wintcrfest was planned for February of last year, but it was so mild there was not enough snow and the event was cancelled. Cold temperatures and abun- dant snow suggests this won't be a problem this year. Windreach Farm is open to the public but uniquely de- signed for special needs peo- ple, offering opportunities tc experience farming and na- ture on 109 scenic acres. Day visitors, overnight guests and work training participants make use of the facilities. Ice sledges, skate mates and other accessible equip- ment will be available so everyone can enjoy the day.

"We've had a number of outbreaks, particularly over the holiday season," said Dr. Donna Reynolds, associate medical officer of health for Durham. The very infectious bug, which causes fever, nausea, vomiting and di- arrhea over 24 to 48 hours and leaves its victims weak, hit hard in Durham Region during the holidays. Residents in the general communi- ty were affected by the virus as were residents of the eight long-term care facilities, which Dr. Reynolds would not name. Six residents of the homes had to be hospitalized for minor complaints from the virus, she added. There were no serious complications, she said. None of the nursing homes had to be officially closed to the public but each took a number of precautions to prevent the spread of the virus, de- scribed as a Norwalk -like virus, she said. These included informing all visi- tors of the virus, reinforcing proper and adequate handwashing proce- dures with staff and even closing off wards to new admissions, the doctor said. "Most of them are at the end of the precautions period and the others will be in the next day or so:" she added. The situation at each facility is under control, she said. The virus is not influenza which is more a respiratory illness, causing headaches, sore throats, coughs, mus- cle aches and fatigues and lasting from two to seven days- �� I Seminars recommended b+ profesuoras srce 'H9• s women vcur aae 4 s,,a,c- - sa`e soca t, 's wrdten up in the 'Star-, include law, letting go, se8- Attend FREE PREVIEW :a^ '9 4 2' $m S3Q wr BLIP i esteem Il heathy relatcnfts.

The inevitable result of the dis- ease is complete dependence and eventual death. Alzheimer's is most common in those over 65 but can strike adults at any age. There is no known cause or cure. Currently, there are an esti- mated 3,0(X) families in Durham dealing with Alzheimer's and re- lated dementias, but that number is expected to increase 3(X) per cent by the year 20211 . "Caring for a loved one with Alzheimer's is a 24 -hour -a -day. day -a -week job." -says S]�. Cotton. "But often, people spend more time caring for a loved one with the disease than caring for themselves and then become more susceptible to illness.

It's a waste of their time and the doctor's, not to mention money. But some people make the opposite error. They are the people who fail to see the doctor even when their problems are life-threatening. The fol- lowing are six symptoms you must never, never, ig- nore. DIFFICULT1 SPEAKING, NEAKNESS The sudden appearance of these symptoms together is usually due to "stroke" But today a better term for these symptoms is "brain attack... There are two kinds of stroke. The less common cause is a rupture of one of the brain's arteries. The most common cause is a blood clot in the arterv. Doctors now use clot-dis- Solving agents for this type of stroke. And the sooner this drug is given the less damage to nervous tissue. s Making haste can occa- sionally be reckless. But in some situations a quick de- cision can mean the differ- ence between life and death. And your doctor is the one to make it ignore Some decisions can really mean the difference between life and death ABNORMAL BLEEDING Never assume the occur- rence of bleeding after a bowel movement is due to hemorrhoids. If you do you're playing a game of Russian Roulette. I've lost count of the number of people who have died because they "as- sumed"! Rectal bleeding is a sign of cancer until proven oth- erwise. A Harvard professor once remarked. "If you don't put your finger in the rectum you end up putting Your foot in it!" Today one has to add, the finger will pick up some cancers. But there's only one good way to diagnose colon cancer. Either by sig- moidoscopic examination to inspect the lower colon. Or better still a colono- scopic examination to ex- plore the entire large bowel. Bleeding with urination is the same story. It's usual- ly due to a benign condition such as polyp or infection. But it can also result from an early malignancy which is still curable. A PERSISTENT COUGH Today tuberculosis, The Doctor i Game W" (fiord --Jones t�. M. D. once thought to be past his- tory, is making a comeback with a vengeance. Accord- ing to Health Canada and the U.S. Centre for Disease Control and Prevention over 22,(x)0 North Ameri- cans contract T.B. every year. Some people are at par- ticular risk. For instance, medical personnel who work with T.B. patients, children under five, women of childbearing age, the el- derly and those who are re- cent immigrants to this country. The primary symptom is a chronic cough. Other symptoms are fever, night sweats, chest pain and weight loss. ABDOMINAL PAIN This symptom is diffi- cult to assess. We all get occasional stomach aches such as Traveller's Diar- rhea. So there's no 100 per cent rule that covers all sit- uations. But never ignore a pain that you've never had be- fore. Or severe pain that strikes suddenly and makes you double over. Today gallstones are a common cause of abdomi- nal discomfort. Sudden pain can occur when gall- stones block the opening of the gallbladder. Or small stones leave the gallbladder, become trapped in the common bile duct that carries bile to the intestines, causing severe pain and jaundice. Acute abdominal pain can also result from a stran- gulated bowel, rupture of an ectopic pregnancy or twisted ovarian cyst. But regardless of the cause never wait to see what happens when severe pain suddenly strikes. It's a mistake to take painkillers as this is like putting a blanket over a fire. And don't reach for an antacid. These conditions require emergency surgery before the gallbladder, bowel or other organs become gan- grenous and life-threaten- ing. Luckily many gallstones never cause symptoms. For these the ultimate treatment is in the cremato- rium at the end of life! SUDDEN CHANGE IN VISION.

The onset of sudden, se- vere pain, blurring of vi- sion and redness of the eye can be due to acute glauco- ma. Some sufferers make a horrendous error here. They believe these symp- toms are due to conjunc- tivitis (pink eye). If untreated, glaucoma can destroy vision within 24 hours due to increased pressure in the eye. This may, destroy both retina and optic nerve. CHEST PAIN A heart attack victim suddenly feels a tight band around his chest. If pain also radiates down the left arm or into the neck, diag- nosis again is more certain. This is the defining mo- ment in life to call 911 im- mediately. Time is of the essence because the longer the delay the greater the damage to the heart's mus- cle. A quick diagnosis of coronary attack is even more important now than in earlier years. Today doctors can administer a clot dis- solving agent that acts like Drano. This clears the ar- teries and helps limit dam- age to the heart's muscle. !, fjordable Dentures...

How much do you know about fat and protein? It seems we hear an awful lot these days about protein and fat content regarding our diet. But, what do we really know about these all-important terms? Test your knowl- edge. (Source: Sport Nutrition for the Ath- letes of Canada: Workbook for Athletes, 1991 by Sport Medicine and the Science Council of Canada). PROTEIN 1. Protein is made up of many units called amino acids'? T or F 2. Protein is only found in fools from an- imal sources? T or F 3. Extra protein in the diet helps increase the amount of muscle you have? T or F 4. Protein from animal sources and plant sources is the same? T or F 5. Most athletes eat enough protein? T or F ANSWERS: I. True — each protein is made up of its own unique combination of amino acids. 2. False — protein is found in foods from both plant and animal sources. 3. False — the way to increase your mus- cle is with exercise and adequate energy in- take. If you cat more protein than your body needs, the excess is converted to fat. 4. False — the protein from animal sources is called "complete" since it con- tains all the essential amino acids in the combination that is easily used by the body. Plant protein or "incomplete" protein has one or more amino acids in a limited amount. $- True — almost al l f(x)ds contain some protein. Protein is no more essential than other nutrients. Protein is a poor energy source and too much does not help perfor- mance. A balanced diet supplies enough protein for any athlete. stance, muscle, skin, hair) and is needed for growth and repair of body tissues. It is also a necessary component of hormones, en- zymes, the immune system and fluid hal- ance. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. There are about 20 common amino acids. Nine of these are called essential amino acids because they cannot be made in the body — they have to be obtained from food. To increase muscle size and power you need to increase your resistance training and add a little extra energy, not extra protein. Consuming too much protein (whether it's from food, supplements or powders) may increase your body's water requirement and may contribute to dehydration, because your beady cannot store excess protein and your kidneys need more water to eliminate the extra nitrogen from the extra protein. Good sources of protein include meat, such as beef, pork, poultry and Fish, eggs, dairy products, split peas, beans, and lentils. FAT 1. Some fat in food is called "hidden" fat. TorF 2. Fat provides twice as much energy (calories) as the same weight of protein or carbohydrate. T or F 3. The main source of fat in the diet is fat that is added to food either in preparation or processing. T or F 4. A fat-free diet is good for your body. T or F 5. 'Me way you prepare foods can in- crease their fat content. T or F 6. F=at is just as efficient a muscle fuel as glucose. T or F 7. A Caesar salad has less fat than a lean meat sandwich. T or F ANSWERS: 1. True — the fat in many foods is "hid- den" or invisible fat. This means that it is not Facts about protein: easy to spot, for example, baked goods, Protein is part of all body tissues (for in- snack foods, dairy products, and chocolate. Anti-smokinglobby up steam in Durham Region Durham Region residents are urged to join a national lobbying campaign to boost the federal government's efforts to reduce youth smoking. The Canadian Cancer Society is leading the way in pushing for new programs and initiatives to prevent young people from smoking. "Smokers get hooked when they are young," says Garry Minnie, president of the East Durham Unit of the CCS. "In fact, in- formation from the Ontario Ministry of Health shows 90 per cent of adult smokers became addicted as teenagers." With Jan. 18-24 serving as a National Non -Smoking Week, Mr. Minnie says it's a good time for the public to remind their MPs "that we have a public health crisis caused by smoking and the effects of tobac- co use." The gove COPE for Bill S-13 which would see a levy against tobacco products. "Due to a procedural ruling, a Liberal MP was unable to introduce Senator Kenny's bill in the House of Commons in December." Bill S-13 would impose a special tobac- co industry levy of 50 cents per carton of cigarettes. The estimated $120 million a year generated by such a levy would be ded- icated toward smoking prevention and ces- sation for young people. Mr. Minnie says an independent founda- tion would be set up to administer the funds and make grants available for community efforts across the country specifically target- ing the prevention of smoking by teens and encouraging those who have started to stop.

True — more fat in the diet is from "add-on" fats than from any other food cat- egory. This includes dressings, fat/oil for frying, spreads, etc. 4. False — a fat-free diet is not good for your body. Fat is necessary as a source of energy, essential fatty acids and fat-soluble vitamins. 5. True — frying, adding fat/sauces or leaving skin on poultry/fat on meat will re- sult in a higher fat content. 6. False — fat requires more oxygen, which makes it less efficient as a fuel for your muscles. Glucose is much better. 7. False — the lean meat sandwich has approximately half the fat of a Caesar salad. Facts about fat: Fat is present in many foods. It is de- scribed as visible or invisible (hidden) by IF • TIME • QUALITY • GENTLE DENTAL CARE ARE IMPORTAINT TO YOU WE ARE AVAILABLE TO SERVE YOU WE WEL(:OME NEW PATIENTS WE %V PEOPLE OF ALL AGES 24 HOt'R EMERGENCY SERVICE 3 Harw(x)d Ave. S., Ajax, Ontario (South of Hvk-y. *2) whether it can be easily seen in the focal. The most fat in the diet is from "fats and oils," which includes butter, margarine, salad dressings, sauces, etc. Some of this fat is also used for deep -fat frying. Fat supplies essential fatty acids and the fat-soluble vitamins A, D. E and K; it makes food taste better, and keeps you from getting hungry for a longer time between meals. Your diet should provide no more than 30 per cent of energy from fat. In fact, a sports dict might have 25 per cent of food energy from fat — then there's more room for energy from carbohydrate. Fat is naturally present in many foods, so you have to be careful about the amount of fat you add. So, as you increase your carbohydrate choices, decrease those little bits of "add- on" fats.

The outpouring of generosity was overwhelming and paid a remarkable tribute not only to the memory of FRANK WONNACOTT, of Cliff Mill Motors Limited whom this campaign was dedicated to, but also to the fine people of Durham Region. Frank's example of helping others was reiterated by the members of our community who assisted in so many different ways. Our volunteers worked long into the night filling the wish lists of over twenty-two agencies who requested assistance. All through the festive season items were collected from businesses and citizens and redistributed to those in need. On behalf of the Durham Regional Police we thank each and every one of you who helped in so many different ways. To the fire departments of Ajax, Clarington, Oshawa and Whitby we extend our appreciation for providing drop-off locations. To the many schools, organizations, businesses and individuals who set up their own drop off boxes, your example is an inspiration to all. It was apparent the theme for this year's campaign "Taking pride in Service to the Community" was taken to heart by so many of you and we thank you sincerely for your efforts. On behalf of Durham Regional Police Service 1 wish you all a healthy and happy new year. , Kevin McAlpine' . , Chief of Police e —SPONSORS 07b • Annandale/Dodge Chrysler Limited Oshawa/Whitb •/Clarin on/Port Pem This Week • Fraser Ford Si n Design • Gus Brown Pontiac Buick Limited Petro Canada (Hwy. 2) Whitby • Ontario Motor Sales • Ontario Regiment Oshawa Armouries • The Cliff Mills Motors Limited • Williamson Uxbridge Williams Communications • Golding Graphics r sCity of Oshawa Municipal Parking System'—] • Control Panel Systems Ontario Limited I r • —Jellybean Imaging Oshawa • Whitby • Clarla8t•■ THIS WEEK News Advertiser AUCTION G0ERS1..1.`_ Durham Region residents can now get up-to-date AUCTION LISTINGS via our new dedicated phone lines.
