FROM PG. 1 Winner has long list of credentials Fa WHITBY FREE PRESS;'WEDNESDAY;-JANUARY 22, 2986 PAGE 3 Crawford. 'II hope every year we have a difficuit choice because it means there are outstanding citizens out there waiting to be chosen." What makes Mr. Schiing's accom- pllshments ail the more remarkabie, according to Mr. Evans, is that he manages to do it ail - maintain a busy legai practice, serve on coun- tless boards, commit- tees and community projects - and remain, first and foremost, a famnily man. "He's a higli energy guy with a lot of smar-- ts," concluded Mr. Evans. On Saturday, after getting up early to wat- ch his son play hockey before heading in to the office to meet with a client, Mr. Schilling put it ail down to good for- tune and the support of lits wife Karin and par- tner Brian Evans. ' I reaily take stock of my time and 1 have a wlfe and partner who are wiiing to share the load ...Tlien again you have to be fortunate enough to have the time and the money to be able to do these things. " "There's nothing in my personal life I can honestly say has gone badly and it's not because I'm so good looking," lie said with a laugh. "If there's a god out there it's because he's iooking over me and I feel I owe something back." What lie lias given back reads more like an encyclopedia of volun- teer work than a per- sonal resume. To name a few of lits involvemen- ts, Mr. Schilling lias been -a long standing member of the Chamber of Commerce and lias served at different times as a director, secretary and chairman of the Peter Perry Award committee; lie is an active Jaycee and member of tlie Whitby Junior .Chamber of Commerce and lias chaired projects like the County Town Carnival and the Santa Claus Parade and in 1975 was awarded a senatorship and life membership in the organization; lielias been a director of the Whitby Historical Society; lias cliaired the Whitby brandi of the Ontario Heart Foun- dation; is a past president of Whitby Arts Inc.; and, after serving on the board of gover- nors of Durhiam College for a number of years, was made cliairman of the board in 1984-85. Asked whicli of lits community projects lias given hlm the greatest pleasure, Mr. Schilling recailed a project riglit in lits own neigli- bourhood - the time lie and some friends got together to lielp a neiglibour build a garage. «I see that garage now everyday wlien I go to work. It's a reminder of wlat a neighbourhood can be," said Whitby's new Peter Perry. Stealing, Thsyear's Peter Perry winner Nigel Schilling was almost upstaged by the star studded production mounted by former Peter Perry Award winner Bert Heaver. This year's Peter Perry variety show featured, the -show. among others, the talents of John Randail and Arlene Hewitt, ably assisted here by tliemed- dlesom but lovable Miss Ewe. Free Press Staff Photo Principals' right to search lockers questioned By JAN DODGE Free Press Staff School principals may no longer searcli per- sonal belongings in student lockers foliowing a recent court case in thieLakeliead. There, a conviction of a student for possession of marijuana was over- turned because the court ruled tlie searcli and seizure conducted by tlie scliool principal was ilegal.

The judge found in favour of the student even thougli le was sympathetic to the prin- cipai's position.

" Bruce Mather, direc-* tor of education for Durhiam said there are legal ramifications whîcli the board needs to look at. This precedent could create problems for principals ail across On- tario. Whitby higli scliool principals, however, are not concerned. Fred Parrott, prin- cipal of Anderson Colegiate, said, "If we were concerned enougli about the need for a locker searcli we would just make sure we touclied ail the riglit bases." Jenny Beal, principal of Henry Street Higli Scliool, said, ',We are not in the habit of sear- ching and seizing. If we are suspicîous of drugs we take action. That ac- tion usually involves the police force, and always The Kinsmen have lined up some terrific prizes this year for the participating youngs- ters including bicycles, AM/FM cassette players and radios. On the day of the skate-a- tlion there will aiso be spot prizes, free refreshments, balloons and frenchi fries, silver dollars for skaters com- pleting 50 laps and Big Mac coupons for al skaters who complete 200 laps.

"l'm not certain as to liow the law lias altered as a resuit of this precedent," Parrott said. "I have not been a party of any detailed discussion of the mat- ter, althougli I suspect 1 wiil be hearing more about it.
