i By ALAN JEFFREY The co-perative jeducation program at Hny Street High School broke new educational ground through its links with the Whltby Historical Society. Ray Bourke, a co-operative, education student worldng under the direction of Doug Ànderaon, president of the Historical Society and with Rob Donald of General Printers, designed and aided in the production of the Historical Society's 1984 calenclar. The "usual" set up for co-operative education course involved the student spendingtWo thirds of the- termn working in a community agency or business and performing the regular tasks of that business or agency. The production Poice notes. By P.C. JOHN BELL Comimlnty Services Branch Durham Regional Poice Force Over the past several weeks"there has been a great deal- of interest in crime prevention in the area of home security after the arrest of five local youths' resulting*in over 90 charges related to break- mfs. This interest is easily measured at the Corn- munity Services Branch by the fact that the phones have been ringing off 'the desks with requests for in- formationf about our programming. For this week I will deal with securing your own home and over the next several weeks I wil bring you information on other related programs. The most direct deterrent for break-iris is keeping your home appearing as though it is occupied at al times whether you are going on vacation or just on a short' trip to the store. Since most of the recent break-ins have occurred in the early evening, hours you would be wise to bock those doors even though you are just going out for a few moments. I personally like to leave a radio playing in the house during these hours if I amn out so that a would be intruder may suspect the home la occupied. Looking at the surroundings of, your home ask yourself a few questions such as: Do I have a ravine behind' my home- that, provides cover for a prowler?; Have I let my shrubs and trees grow up around my doors and windows so that a person could hide and work on breaking-in?; and, Amn I usinig the, bocks on my house and car that are afready i place to prevent break-in and theft? As you check around the home you may see the areas of your home that need securing. Ini the past in older homes the sliding glass doors had been a target but with newer desigis, of doors and locking systems to prevent the doors from being llfted off the track this has decreased. If you have the older style of doors you may wish to instaîl large screwnails in the upper track so that when the doors is in the closed position the door can not be lifted up. You can aiso, place a stick in the lower track bet- ween the edge of the door and the frame to prevent the door from being forced open. As we move inside the home there are many areas Wo be protected such as using the -current bocks on doors and windows properly and ail the time. If you feel that these are not sufficient then take the time and a few dollars and upgrade the system. Locks on most exterior doors are the type that have the key in the knob which is the poorest type of bock. Rather than replace that bock you shoubd add a dead boit lock on the door which protrudes fromn the door a minimum of 11¾ inches so that it grabs onto more than just the trim around the frame. Lighting i the evening hours, both inside and out, gives your home the desired lived in effect. Timers on these Bogts are even better but use caution because using the same light ail the time gives away the timer. If you return home and find there has been an en- try or suspect there has been, do not enter the house. Go Wo a neighbour and cail the police and wait for them Wo arrive and check the home fist. If you find the problem once you are inside do not disturb anything as it may ruin evidence needed later in the investigation. Watch over the next couple of weeks as I wlll bring more information on'securlty for your home., p-resented to Mr. Malleau, president of General Printers in Oshawa. Mr. Malleau, chairman of Henry Street's Community Advisory Committee, offered to allow Ray Bourke to assist ln the production of the calen- dar and to supply many' of the materials necessary for its production at cost. Mr. Anderson and Ray Bourke sorted of the calendar involves a different approach. Ar approach was arrlved ai by considering the needs of those Involved. >The Historical Society needed a low budget, high quality calendar, in order W raise funds for its operational costs, The student needed an experience that Ini- volved the total produc- tion of a printed job. Usually the student would be involved in only one or two aspects of the production. Thanks to Genieral Prin- ters, Ray was given the opportunity to par-, ticipate in the full range of production, frorn the generating of the original concept to the actual marketing of the calendar. The- needs of the student and the Historical Society were The stirring choruses Of "Oklahoma", the romantic solos of "iSouth Pacifie", dreamy duets from "The King and 1" are some -0f the treats in store for audiences on March 6 and 7 when 'the Oshawa Symphony Association presents "An Eveming With Rodgers and Hammer- stein", the most amn- bitious event in the association's season. Mark DuBois, tenor, and Mark Pedrotti, baritone, known to music critlcs across Canada as "The Two Marks" will be joined by Mezzo-soprano Susan Gudgeon; a chorus of twenty Oshawa singers and full orchestra for the two concerts to be performed at Eastdale Collegiate Theatre, Harmony Road North, Oshawa. "The Two Marks" called by prominent Canadian critic Clyde Gilmour "'two of Canada's most exciting young male singers"l are seen, as becoming world class performers. Their presentations of the show tunes of Broadway with major orchestras, in, North Ameérica and the sale of their recording of that music with the. Win- nipeg Symphony..Or-ý chestra have made their names known to audien- ces other- than pure opera buffs although both are secure in their careers as classical opera singers.
