8-OrooWeetly Ties, enday, June 22, t994 A collector of books makes purc hase Out of Clarke High School World of Work program for -kids 12 to 16 years In conjunction with the Canada Employment Centre (CEC) and the Clarington- Northumberland Board of Education, a very special program is once again being offered through the Co-operative Education department at Clarke High School. Students 14 to 16 years of age, who might not otherwise be able to find employment, will be given the opportunity to participate in this program referred to as Worl d of Work (W.O.W.). The ten students chosen will earn 2 credits upon completion and will also be paid by the federal govemment for the work they do at their placements. W.O.W. also offers such benefits as training of job employability skills and personal budgeting, field trips, special guest speakers and much, much more. Mike Tait (Tramner) and Jennifer Keamns (Supervisor) are both very excited that this program is running again this summer as fundmng was uncertain. We wil keep you inforined on the progress and expected success during thesummer. Could save money using off-peak hydro Marianne George of Newcastle, a collector of books was out to the Clarke Museum Book sale on Saturday and checks off her purchases with the curator, Mark Jackrnan. Attendance was away down this past week mainly due to the heat of the day. At noon only 95 had registered in at the sale when in'the past close to 350 would have attended by the noon hour. Attendance often reaches 500 at the sale. The curator înformed the Orono Times that over the past eight years the museum has had sales of 85,000 books. He- said many make purchases at one of the sales and return the books as a donation for the next sale. The Clarke Museum and the Bowmanville Museum both register some 8000 visits each year and this bas been rather constant over the years. A recent report points out that there has been a downward trend in attendance at museums of some 13 percent since 1991. Customers of Clarington Hydro-Electric Commmission in Orono, Newcastle and Bow- manville could save $4 a month on their hydro bis if the commission joins a plan to cut down on consumption of elec tricity at peak periods. The savings would mean cutting back on the use of hydro during a period of high use, perhaps once a month. It is pointe d out that Ontario Hydro's rate structure boost the cost of hiydro to the commission for one hour every month when the demnand peaks. The commission generally purcha ses hydro from Ontario Hydro at 2.3 cents and 4.2 cents per kilowatt-hour but the cost for that one hour peak is up to $17.51 per kilowatt, 500 turnes as much. The peak period in die winter is generally around 5:30 p.m. on the coldest day when people are prepaning supper. In the summer it is on the hotest day of the month generally coming around supper time or mid-afternoon. If Lisers were to cutback on consumptioný at -those peak periods by even five percent the saving to the commission would bc $3 3,000 for the month.

Now looking forward to fair dance 1995 On behaif of the Durham Central Agricultural Society, Id like to give a brief report on how our first fundraiser went. The dance was hçld on the rink surface of the Orono arena on Friday, May 27. There were many line-dancers warming up the dance floor from 8:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. who also seemed wo get the crowd in the mood for some good country music. Stephanie Clapdorp (our Fair Ambassador) welcomed everyone and introduced the main attraction, Ambush. The band put on an extraordinary performance and. always had the crowd on their feet, the dance floor was full at al times. A side attraction of Sumo Wrestling was put on by Funtastic Promotions of Peterborough. This was done for free by the owner as a contribution to the dance and a small fee was charged to each wrestler. The event seemed to be a great success and was enjoyed by ail who took part as well as those who watched on. The dance drew people locally as well as from Brighton, Toronto, Peterborough and Lindsay. We feel that next year's dance will be bigger and better and hope that everyone who camne out and enjoyed themselves this year, will return. <I'd like to thank the following people for their contributions and help because without them, this dance could not have taken place - Ace Submarine; Ambush; (The) Apple Blossom Shop; Bacardi; Clarke Connection; Flowers Plus; Funtastic Promotions; (The) Ganaraska Wolves Volleybail Club; Hooper's Jewellers; Kirby Burger; Labatts; Lets Dance - Dance Studio; 105.1 FM; Orono Arena and Community Center; Orono Fuel and Lumber; Orono Weely Times; Oshawa Ski Club; Oshawa/Whitby This Week;, Rolph Hardware; Schroeder Chiropractie; Stutt's Pharmacy; Tomlinsons Sillscreening (The) Village Bakeshop; and al of the people who helped to set up and tear down for the dance.
