The principal said the informiation sbould stay witb the student f'or lifetime., Bob Finley of the Addic- tion Researcb Foundation in Durbam said a questionairre cornpleted by some 800 students at the two-scbools last falt points to the need for more drug and alcobol education. Clarke and the Pines hbeld a Lifestyle Day last November at whicb students attended seminars on drug anid alcobol education as well as on stress and relaxation, mental bealth, nutrition, exercise and fitness. At this time the students were asked to com- plete a questionairre. Finlay said general the level of knowledge in drug and alcobol was very low. Knowledge of the two did in- crease sligbtly in the upper grades. He sald this was true of other sucb undertakings in other scbools.- Willsber stressed the drug and alcohol abuse problems was no worse at Clarke or the Pines than in any other school., Finlay furtber commented His sculptures are sold at the local arts and crafts shows. For the last twýo years, Greer sold out at the annual art show bleld in the Orono Town Hall. He received an Award of Excellence at the lst annual Juried Exhibition of Arts and Crafts sponsoredý by the Bowmanville Vîsual Arts Centre and bas already received an invitation to next year's show. it takes imii between 20 - 30 bours to comnplete a sculpture. Some of bis pieces have sold for up to $250. although lie bas been told be should charge more for bis work. The composition and detail Df his work is easily admired, ýspecially wben it is revealed ihat Greer bas neyer received format instruction in the art f sculpture. -l took art in high scbool up until grade twelve, but have neyer formally'studied sculpture formally," he says. Althougb Greer currently works for Durham Region Public Works, be would eventually like to see bis craft become a fulI-time career. "I most definitely wold like to eventually do tbis and taxidermy fulI-time, at least before l'mn forty-five," he says. Judging from the populari- ty of bis work and the per- sonal înterest in bis, craft, Greer may not bave that long to wait for bis 'chance to comle. 4- T Club Reachîngf Out (Continued from page 1) tbe group's activîties, par- ticularly the montbly dinner, "Most people wbo live on their own can't be botbered to cook. Wbere else can you get a bot roast beef dinner and socialize for $3.00. Only in Canada, as you say." Doris slares bis en- tb-usiasm. Her conicern for local seniors provoked the organization of a petîtion and letters sent to Ottawa voicing local objectionto the govern- ment's scbeme of deindexing senior pensions proposed in the 1985 budget. "We're bere primarily for the benefit of seniors", Doris said, "We try to belp anyone that the pbilosopby was that kids need to know the facts and then also need some help in making decisions. When its printing give us a caI 983-5301 for miany seniors", she said, "Take that away from them and you're taking away the comifort of calling a friend or family member." Both are members of the Durham Chapter of the United Senior Citizens of On- tario. "We take complaints to the regional meetings and figbt for things in th îs area. For example, the group made us aware of the pension de- indexing," she said, açlding, "We meetand try to solve each others' problems." Currently the organization is trying to establish a health clinic to be located at the Seniors Lodge on Station Street in Orono for the benefit of local seniors. "We're trying to get a nurse or a clinic in the home to check our blood pressure and the blood sugar level of those that have problems," George said, adding, "The nearest place that this can be done is Bowmanville and many people don't even have a car to get around. " "Through the premise of establishing a clinic on the property, we're trying to organize speakers to corne and -lecture on general health and care," Doris added. Both individuals praise the local Kinsmen and Kinnettes club for support' andhelp they have given the seniors. "The Kinsmen have donated and organized three nights of bingo this year and $100.*00 for prizes each time,',' Doris said. "The Kinsmen club have promised to pay for helpers for machinery such as a glucose metre, if the clinic can be estabished,"'she, add- ed. Th 'is group bas also helped the seniors by dîgging a vegetable garden divided up into individual plots for the residents- and members of the lodge. Since its opening several years ago, the recreation hall bas been furnished by the club through local donations and through government grants. "The hall was furnished by a New Horizon's Grant from the Federal government established to keep senior's busy," Doris saîd. "We really do try to keep the place going," Doris said, adding, "We really hope> to open up for more peoiSIe from the downtown and sur- rounding areas ." So if you're a senior in the area witb a bit too rnuch time on your hands or needing the cornpany of another, the 4-T Club is awaiting your caîl. nlDfl mfn W IEM.LV TIMS u ilu il u P.O.
