Despite the addition of 63 portables one school and two addi- tions to schools, total energy use has dropped by 4.7%. the largest single drop in the past ten years. This represents a cost avoidance of over $8 million for that penod of Uwe. Nater consumption is down 7.8% from the 1955-M figures. The cost avoidance in this area is almost SM0.000 since the 1975-76 According to ALSBO's Energy Consumption Analysis Report for 1986.86. the Durham Board has the lowest equivalent kilowatt hours per square metre in comparison with other school boards in the Cen- tral Ontario area. The Board congratulated Jim Russell, his staff and all custodial staff for the excellent energy report. It was noted that everyone in the Durham Board system should be proud of the pro- gram and the benefits it has realized over the years. lwgrral Proceedings Chairman Sandra Lawson presented her an- nual report to the hoard. She spoke of many ac- complishments in the Durham Board system in the past year and outlined her ongoing concerns about the impact of the im- plementation of Bill 30, the proposed pooling of local assessments and the ac- commodation crisis in Durham Board schools. She thanked Director of Education Bruce Mather. administrative staff. Vice - Chairman Heather Beveridge and trustees for their outstanding leader- ship and support over the past year. Elections for the posi- tions of Chairman and Vice -Chairman were con- ducted and Sandra Lawson and Heather Beveridge were returned to their respective positions for another one year period. Both thanked trustees for their ongoing support and expressed their apprecia- tion for the opportunity to serve the Board for another term. 25¢ per copy Published by Watson Publishing Company Ltd.

N. are struggling with the Town of Pickering to have their property re- zoned as residential only. since they plan to make it their permanent hone. Originally. the Adams' property was zoned as part R4 - one family detached dwelling, fourth density zone - and part C1 - local commercial zone. The Adams were unaware of this when they purchased the property 6-1 2 years ago. And they only became aware of it when they decided to make additions to their house. It is not clear to anyone why the zoning boundary was drawn right through the property, which is located on the east side of Rosebank Rd. north of Hwy. 2. But it is clear that the Adams are determined not to allow a misap- propriated by-law to change their lifestyle. Adams stated to the com- mittee that they are more concerned with maintain- ing the aesthetics of their lifestyle, rather than sacrificing it for a financial status. They realize that the pro- perty may be worth more with the Cl zoning, but they have no intentions of utiliz- ing its potential, other than as a permanent dwelling. Furthermore they are con- cerned about the possibility of a commercial facility be- ing constructed adjacent to their property. Mr. Reed, president of the Rosebank North Com- munity, supported the Adams by referring to the Woodland Part B com- ................. ...............:::s•: ............... This Space Happy Holiday! Could Be Yours For just Please Dont $13.00 per week Drink & Drive munity plan which has designated the property in question as "Residential Medium Density I" and ".Special Policy Area". As part of a "Special Policy Area", the Adams' property is considered part of an older residential com- munity selected to retain its original attributes and residential zoning. Therefore, because it is an unusual case the Adams feel that they are entitled to the rezoning necessary to make the property con- form, once again, to the original plan. However, the town is having difficulty in agree- ing with this proposal, since the commercially zoned property abutting it may be directly affected if the Adams' property is rezoned.

Hugh Hefner was an editor for Childim's Activities in 1953 when he approached a designer named Arthur Paul about starting a new magazine which he wanted to call Stag Party. Paul, though dishking the name, designed a sample issue using a stag as the publication's symbol. But a few weeps before they were scheduled to go into production, Hefner got a letter from Stag magazine threatening a copyright in- fringement suit. Hefner changed the name to his second choice, Playboy, and asked Paul to design a new symbol. Paul settled on a rabbit, "the playboy of the animal world", and gave it a bow tie to suggest the sophisticated urban reader they hoped to attract. Except for the fust issue, the logo has appeared as a hid- den element on every Playboy cover. Q. Why do flies walk all over everything? H.R. A. The housefly uses its feet to taste things to see if they are good to eat. This unusual ability allows the fly to sample the taste of something without putting it in its mouth. Each of the fly's feet is covered with hundreds of tiny taste hairs. The hairs have special cells which allow the fly to detect substances in a manner similar to the way human taste buds do. Unlike humans, however, flies also have cells that detect water. Only when the fly's feet tell its brain that a substance is edible will it extend its long sucking mouthtube called a pro- boscis. Flies are not the only insects that taste their food with their feet - many butterflies and bees also share this ability. Q. Have there ever been any women pirates? A.R. A. Certainly. Perhaps the woman pirate who operated on the largest scale of all women pirates in history was Madame Ching of China. Her ships sailed the Asian Coast in the 1880's. At one time she commanded thousands of men and women who served on her fleet of 500 junks. PICKERING AUTOMOTIVE SUPPLIES Pake ng ArWwWo CoWs.

Dec. 30, 1987 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Decisions Are Needed By Bob Watson The complete mess created by indecision at Queen's Park over Boxing Day surely must be a scene that needs correc- tion. Most citizens to whom we speak believe that the Ontario government should have come out with a definite day for stores to be open for "Boxing Day Specials". We believe that Saturday should have been designated and stores told that Sunday was for family life. Of course• when we have committed our province to some insane belief that a Boxing Day holiday is a sort of religious, untouchable holiday, we end up with the chaos like this last weekend. For those who don't know. Boxing Day was established in Britain years ago when citizens gave boxes to their postal workers, who were then delivering trail on Christmas Day, as well as Boxing Day. Boxing Day is not a statutory holi- day, but a large part of our population has it as a paid holi- day. However• we still believe that our provincial government has the responsibility of making decisions on these issues• and saying that it is up to the municipalities on store hours- and oursand holidays >c avoiding its responsibility. IN Naw about 20 years old a number of Ontario's first con- dominium developments are in need of major renovations and repairs. Home buyers stropping for resale condos should check for signs of deterioration in "common" areas such as parking lots and underground garages. Market Value Assessment Dear Sir: The suburban municipalities should combine and proceed to implememt Market Value Assessment. The inflated pro- perty values should not be a case for paralysis. Inflation is not confined to market value assessment. The averaged overall assessment will still contribute to a fairer tax burden distribution. We can show patience and tolerance with Mayor Art Eggleton and Mayor Mel Lastsman if their intent is to cushion the blow that concern should be extend- ed to the overtaxed semior citizens and residents in our municipalities. However, if their action is just a stall, we should initiate and show intent immediately to pursue an alternate course of action to rectify the unjust present tax structure. if our politicians cannot be counted on, Canadian Courts of Justice should be called on to rectify this present injustice. If we are forced to go this route we should be calling for full past restitution. Yours truly, Mike Boychyn 29 Calumet Cr.

Developers & Builders Urge High Level Task Force A high-level task force comprising representatives of the private housing producer groups, government, labour, and consumer organizations is urgently needed to cope with a housing crisis in Ontario moving toward "unmanageable proportions', according to the province's three major private housing organizations. The Fair Rental Policy Organization of Ontario (FRPO ), the Urban Development Institute of Ontario ( UDI) and the Ontario Home Builders' Association (OHBA) held a joint news conference in which they released a letter sent to On- tario Premier David Peterson urging such a task force. It could work, said the letter to Mr. Peterson, with the govern- ment's recently -established Housing First Committee of Deputies to develop strategies to secure the future housing needs of Ontario. "For housing to be genuinely first, other issues must be secondary," said John Bassel, chairman of the Fair Rental Policy Organization of Ontario. "Policies from all areas of government and from all levels of government must worst toward that end, rather than contradict one another or unreasonably inhibit the development of adequate, reasonably -priced housing." "The building and development industry has proven its capacity to respond very quickly to changing market forces and workable government initiatives." said Hugh Heron, president of the Ontario Home Builders' Association. "While the industry is capable of meeting an enormous challenge given a clear direction, we cannot do so with con- flicting policies, and unreasonable delays." "Ibe planning process must be co-ordinated at all levels," said Jahn Switzer, president of the Urban Develop- ment Institute Ontario, "with the urgency and social con- sensus that a crisis of this magnitude demands." All three spokesmen stressed that while rent controls have dare much to create the current crisis. many other issues must be resolved in addition to that issue. Among them is the near-total absence of moderately - priced bouising. especially in urban areas. the deteriorating rental housing stock. which the government itself estimates will require about $10 billion to restore to acceptable stan- dards. conflicting municipal, provincial and federal government policies, and policies that discourage all forms of residential constructiar: and the lack of low-cost rectal accommodation for those who need it, while higher-incoare tenants of rent-controded units are unmotivated to buy homes of their own. Other issues mentioned were the la& of targeted fman- cial assistance for those in need of support for shelter. unreasonable and artificial delays in the way of housing construction: the use of building permits, lot kvies and other fees as soaring government revenue sources which drive tip housing prices. taxation policies at all government levels which discourage housing construction or reduce the amount of construction possible with existing available capital: and a federal government White Paper on Tax Reform which now threatens to devastate the industry's capability to respond to the need for more housing. All three levels of government." said the letter to Premier Peterson, "have contributed to the establishment of a market which is more or less irnflehcable and that. in turn, has driven up prices...

Even so, far and away its most popular production is the annual Christmas presentation of The Nut- cracker. Filled with the joyous music of Tchaikowsky, glorious sets and superb choreography. The :Nutcracker is an ideal introduction to ballet. It's currently in residence at The O'Keefe but will be there only until this Sunday. Now, we've saved the very best for last.

But some of the people mentioned in the story shoorasell wanted their's kept secret. Mon- tgomery Clift, Cole Porter, Barbara Hutton, Joseph Kennedy and others are all crowded into these pages and all of them in naughty ways.

Truman Capote. as we suggest. never intended this "novel" to be finished and we have an idea that he might have been less than satisfied with his writing style throughout.

It is a collection of quips, anecdotes and quizzes cull- ed from the anthologist's apparent wide reading ex- periences. There are better books on trivia but this one is plea- sant for rushed reading on public transit or for those last few moments before drifting off to sleep at night. (We combine both felicities by drifting off to sleep on public transit.) One chapter deals with the last words of well known personages. We rather like those of Bren- dan Behan ( Bryan, in- cidentally, doesn't ap- parently know or care to mention that Behan died in Toronto). To the nun who was bathing his forehead he said "Thank you Sister. May all your sons be bisholps!.. And we are much taken with this little tidbit about the French artist Gustave Dor*. Over the entrance to his villa he had these words inscribed. Do. Mi. Si, La, Do. Re - "Domicile i Dor*". Now. let's get at those books'. ON IN: The increasingly popular Degrassi High will begin airing or new episodes over CBC TV on Jan. 4th at 8:30 p.m. We're rather high on this series, not just because it's produced here using local talent but also because of the mature themes it tackles. There are times when it's funny but often one can't tell whether one is crying tears of laughter or chagrin. It's quite a show and we recommend it as a new year's viewing habit. LAST WORDS: When we were quite young we read a book titled The Chinese Room by Vi- vian Connell. It was a dreadful book in retrospect but it was considered quite spicy for the time and that was probably why we read it. Anyway, there was one statement in that has stayed with us through the years. It is that there are two things that cannot be dammed up; mountain water and one's heritage. We cannot verify the former but we can attest to the latter. Our blood is Scottish and like most Scots we regard Haugh ma nai with something akin to awe. We expect that mid- night tomorrow we shall shed a few tears over the sorrows and disappoint- ments of the old year, smile over the good ones and prepare with confidence for the new year. And, of course, we will have listened to Peter Dawson singing The Miner's Dream of Home . . The log was burning bright- ly, 'Twas a night that should banish all sin.

Scarborough East The Perfect Loaf BREAD BAKING BASICS: LESSON 5 Even the best bakers occa- sionally experience a baking fail- ure. Here are some common causes of trouble and advice from the experts at the FLEISCHMANN'S Yeast Test Kitchen. *Adding too much flour when Rereading. The dough should be soft and slightly sticky; too much flour will result in a stiff dough or a dry, dense bread. • Under -kneading the dough by hand; or over -kneading the dough in a food processor (60 seconds maximum), yields a loaf with a dry crumb. Follow ea.pe directions. 0 Water temperature too warm or too cool for activating the yeast; bread won't rise. • Rising time was too long if bread falls flat and the crumb is doughy. • Baking time was too short if a good crumb is evident, but bread has a doughy center. w Fra form dough risk spread- ing too much when rising if dough is too soft. They should be firm when shaped. The Perfect Loaf While every loaf of home- made bread possesses individual characteristics, here are some guidelines to use as a compari- son for signs of a well -[Wade loaf. LOAF: Take a look at the loaf as a whole. It should be symmetrical with a well- rounded, smooth top. CRUST: The color should be warm, rich and even. Careless brushing when glazing will re- sult in an uneven crust color.

Will My Poinsettia Bloom Again? Poinsettias require special are to bring them ilhto bloom. This is best done in commercial gm"diouses where pr's control conditions are maintained. However, you might like to experiment with this simplified hor- ticultural procedure in your home- y. Beginning about October 1, keep the plant in total darkness for 14 hours every night for about 10 weeks. This an be done by setting it in a closet, or by covering it with a large cardboard box each night from 5 p.m. to 7 a -m. i Night temperatures dur- ing this period should be 62OF to 67°F. Temperatures below 6VF at night may Guise a delay in blooming time. Ask Your Pharmacist By Barry Phillips, B.Sc. Phm. Past President, Ontario College of Pharmacists Community Pharmacist, Shoppers Drug Mart Foot problems can make your life miserable. So don't take your feet for granted. Many common foot problems can result from poorly hitting shoes, poor circulation, unevenly trimmed toenails and disease. Check your feet regular- ly or have them checked by a member of your family. Checkups can be important in the early diagnosis of many illnesses, including diabetes. Standing up and stret- ching, walking and other for•nis of exercise help to improve the circulation of blood to the feet. Gentle massage and warm foot baths can also help. Circulation is reduced by exposure to cold temperatures, smoking, wading or bathing in cold water, pressure on the feet from shoes, and long periods of sitting or resting. Choose shoes with tippers made of soft, flexible material whiich allow the shoe to conform to the shape of your foot. leather shoes let the feet "breathe" 3. Each morning return the plant to a window where it will receive full daylight. 4. Discontinue this wnen yaw potnseaha is coming into full bloom, which should be araiod December 1.

Limited of Toronto, for repairs to the breakwater at Bhiffers' Park Marina in Scarborough. The contract award was announced by Reg Stackhouise, MP Scarborough West, on behalf of the Hou. Tam Siddon, Minister of Fisheries and Oceans. The work is part of a 5100,000 breakwater repair project announced in November. Plans call for repairs to the ar- mor layer on the breakwater. Construction is expected to start shortly. Strong Markets Forecast in 1988 Growth in the national economy and acceptable interest rates are expected to continue to stimulate home buying ac- tivity across the country in 1968, according to Canada's leading realtor. "We fed there will be little or no negative impact on either the economy or residential real estate markets as a result of the stock market correction in October." says Oz- zie Juarock, Preskd Royal LePage Residential Real Estate Services, "so there's every reason to expect a good real estate market next year.' Lions Clubs Annual Telethon Metro Toronto lions Clubs have joined forces with Chan- ad hao-rid 47 Cable 4 to stage a Telethon for its favourite projects - Canine Vision Canada, the training of guide dogs for visual- ly impaired Canadians, and its many other community ser- vice projects on Sat. Jan. 23rd from 6 p.m. to 2 a.m. The L m s Foundation of Canada undertook the task of developing a national guide dog training school in 1983. The school, located in Oakville, is designed to eventually train 12() teams a year: One on one intensive training sessions that last 30 days, teach both student and guide dog to in- stinctively help each direct the other through busy intersec- tions and hard -to -maneuver places. Export Deal With Vermont Ontario Hydro and the Vermont Department of Public Service have reached agreement on a five year electricity export deal. Ontario Hydro will make available up to 73 megawatts of firm power and energy. Vermont will arrange to transmit the power from the Ontario border to the State of Vermont. Under the terms of the contract, Vermont will have the op- tion to increase this quantity by an additional 39 megawatts, for a maximum total of 112 megawatts. The gross revenue over the term of the contract is estimated to be near si6o million Canadian. PCB Processing Unit Approved The Ministry of Environment has granted Ontario Hydro all necessary approvals for operation of its Mobile PCB Processing Unit. the unit, housed in a tractor trailer, removes low level PCBs from insulating oils. The mobile processing unit was built by Enervac of Cam- bridge, Ontario to Hydro's specifications and was delivered to Hydro for testing in October, 1984. The chemical process treats low-level PCBs in insulating oil used in transformers, turning them into common salt and other harmless by- products. The process allows the insulating oil to be reused rather than destroyed. Use of the mobile unit to treat oil on site reduces the need to transport contaminated oil. .......................................::.:::::..:..:........... .................................................. .......... Billion Mind Link At noon Greenwich time on Dec. 31, 1987, people in more than 100 countries paused for an hour in time to participate in the second annual World Healing Day - which its organizers say would be the most powerful affirmation of peace and goodwill in history. While the media reported worldwide participation of up to 400 million for the Dec. 31st, 1986 event, the '87 goal is no less than one billion. The majority of in- dividuals and organiza- tions involved in this an- nual activity are operating under the umbrella of the a worldwide non- demoninational, non- political organization without a headquarters. structure, or fund-raising activities. The commission is simp- ly a grass roots nwvement launched by The Quartus Foundation in Austin, Texas as a way of uniting people in a cooperative ef- fort for responsible action, peace, and world harmony. According to Barbara Douthitt, Commission Coordinator at Quartus, the purpose of the global mind - link is to create greater understanding and mutual trust among people in all nations. "We want to demonstrate that a suffi- cient number of world citizens can gather in a common bond to demand an end to hostilities, hunger. poverty, and the subjugation of individual freedom," Douthitt said.

Dec. 31, 1986 was designated as the first "World Healing Day" and noon Greenwich was selected as the hour in order to encompass all time zones during that 24 hour period. Douthitt noted that the goal of one billion represents about twenty percent of the global population, "a task force with an attitude of mind that must be recognized by world leaders. Remember that it was president Eisenhower who said in 1959 that "people in the long run are going to do more to promote peace than are governments. In- deed.

Interesting Statistics If you were asked for the three words that elicit the most emotional response during this festive time of the year, what would you answer? "Peace On Earth", ..Happy New Year" or maybe ..Bah, Hum Bug..' But there are those among us who have coax to accept the increasingly materialistic side of the Christmas season. For those Cana- dians, the three little words that corse to mind are "Bat- teries not included-. Statistics Canada's Family Expen- diture Survey tells us that Canadian families spend on average only 13 dollars per year on batteries, but as the saying gam. "little things mean a kit"! Day Care Plan a Betrayal The federal government's re- cently announced national day cane program is irresponsible, insulting and discouraging and represents a betrayal of the Conservative government's mandate. The program is irresponsible be- cause Canada can't afford it. Never- theicss, the federal government bowed to pressure and committed to spend 5.4 billion taxpayers' dollars over the next seven years on the program. The provinces will spend billions of tax- payers' dollars on top of that. This program represents a major federal government spending initia- tive despite deep concerns in Western countries over large budgetary defi- cits. The recent "Black Monday" stock market crash focussed that con- cern on the huge US budget deficit. National Debt Canada's national debt, however, stands at $264 billion which is more than 50% higher than that of the United States, proportionately. On average, every man, woman and child in Canada owes $10,564 as a result of federal government debt. The tax load on ordinary Canadians is increasing every year just to finance this massive debt. In fact, the interest which the federal government must pay annually on the debt takes one in every three tax dollars. The costly day care pro- gram is going to increase that burden and push all Canadians even further into debt. The program is insulting because of the fatuous argument which Em- ployment Minister Benoit Bouchard used when he defended the day care program by saying it would create 40,000 new jobs. He must realize that the billions of dollars needed to "cre- ate" those jobs will be taken from productive taxpayers. Left in the hands of taxpayers, that same money could generate 50 to 60 thousand jobs in the private sector. In effect, the day care program could actually result in a net loss of jobs. Fatal Orsession The program is discouraging be- cause once again the federal govern- ment has shown its fatal obsession with the "sacred trust" of universality in social programs. Instead of target- ing only the truly needy, the program will result in childless middle class taxpayers subsidizing daycare for those in upper income brackets. This day care program is sym- bolic of what is wrong with the government of Prime Minister Mulro- ney. He was elected in 1984 while promising "real change" from the big government, free -spending days of Pierre Trudeau. Prime Minister Mulroney's day care program, however, will mean bigger government, an increased na- tional debt and a reliance on expen- sive, intellectually bankrupt concepts like universality. This program repre- sents a betrayal of those Canadians who expected the PCs to provide principled, conservative leadership. (David Somerville is the Presi- dent of The National Citi ens' Coalition.) Wed. Dec. 38, 1987 THE NEWS/ POST Page Il Put Options Gives Stock Protection If you're an investor, there is a way to protect yourself from the kind of gyrations that sent stock markets around the world into a tailspin in October. You can do this by buying the equivalent value of your portfolio in the form of a put option, says Frank Chen, senior vice - ;president, investments and manager of the Toronto Futures Branch for Prudential -Bache Securities Canada Ltd. A put option gives the holder the right to sell a particular stock or a group of stocks at today's price one to two or three months hence. "If you, as an investor, feel that the market is about to fall - and a few sophisticated investors did prior to the October downturn - and wanted some protection but did not wish to sell your stocks because you bought them as a long-term investment, you could have accomplish- ed this by simply buying put options, as insurance to protect your portfolio. "There is no dollar for dollar protection but through the effective use of puts, any investor can capitalize on a correction or downturn by using these contingent trading strategies. "Should the price of that stock or index drop - as they did in October - then the investor to whom you Don't Drink & Drive sold the put :;ption would be required to I_ 'r '.hat stock or index from you a a pre- arranged level." In effect, says Chen, the other person is betting that a certain stock or the market is not going to fall and you're betting that it is. Depending on the premium and how much protection you're prepared to buy, a put option can be good for one, two or three months. It can be longer but the price of the put might nullify its advan- tage. "All you're doing is ren- ting the opportunity of sell- ing your stock at today's price two or three months from now. It's like renting an apartment. The longer you rent. the more it wz)1 cost." Cost of put options usual- ly ranges from one-half to one percent of the value of the stock or portfolio. Size doesn't matter and, he notes, the opportunity is available to everyone who invests in the market.

The Official Plan and Zoning By-law prowde for industrial uses. You are inv"od to a presentation and discussion of this proposal at the Wexford Collegiate auditorium on Thursday, January 7, 1988, at 7:30 p.m. Comments from the public are also invited at this meeting with respect to a review now being undertaken by Planning Staff of the Official Plan policies and Zoning By-laws for the Lawrence Avenue East corridor in the Wexford Industrial District. This includes both sides of Lawrence Avenue from west of Crockford Blvd. to Birchmount Road. The original industrial character of this area has been modified by the introduction of non -industrial uses. Applications now under review by the City or pending, if approved, would remove the remaining industrial uses. Issues which are apparent in the review of these applications are the City's policies regarding preservation of industrial land, the creation of employment, and the impact on existing commercial busi- nesses along Lawrence Avenue. Copies of the Rolland proposal and the Study Terms of Reference will be available at the meeting or from the Planning Department, 150 Borough Drive. Written submissions, directed to the Commissioner of Planning, should be received by January 15, 1988.

MW During the Holiday Season we are reminded, perhaps more than at any other time during the year, of the tragic results of drinking and driving. It's estimated that alcohol plays a role in about 50% of all fatal traffic accidents. The Province of Ontario is taking an active part in the fight against drinking and driving. The Drinking Driving Countermeasures Office of the Ministry of the Attorney General spearheads the efforts of several ministries of the government in this area. The Countermeasures unit was formed in September of 1983 to act as a co-ordinating office at the provincial level to oversee and assist long-term community-based programs to combat the drinking and driving problem. COUNTERMEASURES INITIATIVES Among the initiatives of the office is an advertising cam- paign in which several htmdred thousand dollars is spent each year on radio and television advertising to promote awareness of the issue. The countermeasures office has also initiated or assisted a number of other areas, including an award-winning film "Make Sure It Isn't You", and Arrive Alive, a summer awareness program, first run in 1986. It employs students to spread the anti -drinking and driving message through pro - gams designed by the students themselves. A variety of promotional and awareness items are available through the countermeasures office free of charge to the public including window decals with the slogan "Only You Can Stop Drinking and Driving" as well as buttons. posters, pamphlets and films. A three-day conference sponsored by the office recently held in Toronto featured the Hat. Joan Smith, Ontario's Solicitor General, as one of its guest speakers. Mrs. Smith repeated the Liberal Goverameat's commitment to reduc- ing the incidence of impaired driving. She said the government will work to make the Ontario Provincial Police RIDE (Reduce Impaired Driving Everywhere) program a year-round province -wide opera- tion and is looking for ways to provide financial support for mu rucipal police RIDE programs. Provincially in addition to Canntermeasures and the OPP. the Addiction Research Foundation of Ontario. an agency of the province, has initiated programs aimed at reducing drinking and driving. ARF also hands out annual Provincial Awards of Distinc- tion in honour of outstanding contributions to the addiction field. A recipient this year was Jahn Bates. co-founder and president of PRIDE (People to Reduce Impaired Driving Everywhere) in Ontario. VOLUNTEER.% COMMENDED I commend the work of volunteer anti -drinking and dniv- ing groups such as PRIDE and SADD (Students Against Driving Drunk i - High schools in Ajax and Pickering have SADD chapters. At Ajax High School• the student co-ordinators are Brenda Galloway and Cheryl Black while the student heading up SADD at Pickering High School is Kern Wood. The SADD chapter at Denis O'Connor High School in Ajax was in- itiated by students Alana Blaekall and Andrea Cavaktzzo. At Harwood Secondary School m Ajax the student co- ordinators o- o dinatos are Sean Kennedy and Lisa Burden. The SADD chapter at Dunbarton High School in Pickering will be star- ting up again with the second semester in February. It is through the continued combined efforts of govern- ment. the police. citizens' and students' groups and the general public that we will lower. and someday hopefully eliminate, the deaths and injuries on our roadways caused by drunk drivers. I urge you not to drink and drive please, and have a safe and happy festive season. THEATRE DURHAM Theatre Durham is looking for directors, producers. cast and crew for a February production.
