There is no safe level of marijuana whch can be consumed consumed by drug users without without harmful side-effects, members of the Bowmanville Bowmanville Lions Club were told last week. And Constable Don Anderson, Anderson, a Lions Club member and Durham Regional Regional Police officer, reminded reminded his colleagues that drug awareness is an effective effective weapon against drug abuse. "I think awareness is the key to the whole situation," he said. And he noted that the Lions Clubs are already promoting drug awareness through a program of their own. Constable Anderson introduced introduced a film called "Epidemic" which documents documents the dangers of drug abuse. He also discussed some of the drug awareness facts which he brings to classrooms of the Durham Region as a member of the police force's community services department. In grades four and five, students are encouraged to talk to parents, teachers, and other responsible adults about drugs. Drug awareness is presented in a general way. Students are advised to always ask where they obtained a certain drug and who told them to take it. In this way, they are instructed only to take medicine given to them by a doctor or by their parents. They are informed of the danger in taking other persons' persons' medicines. In grade eight, the drug awareness effort focuses on more specific drugs, such as marijuana and related chemicals. Students are reminded, for example, that marijuana contains over 400 chemicals and some of the most dangerous compo nents can be held in the body's fatty tissues where it is only eliminated in a very slow process. Moreover, marijuana cigarettes are much more dangerous than regular cigarettes. "A 2 year pot smoker's lungs are comparable to a 20-year cigarette smoker," said Constable Anderson. Some marijuana users aggravate aggravate a dangerous habit by adding chemicals such as PCP (Angel Dust) to their marijuana cigarette. This particular chemical is used by veterinarians to knock out large animals, Constable Constable Anderson noted. He pointed out that in addition addition to explaining the dangers of drug use, drug awareness programs try to combat underlying pressures pressures which prompt youths to take drugs. "We try to tell them once the high wears off, the problems problems are still there," said Constable Anderson.

Why are the Town Council and The Regional Government re-zoning these areas? 2. To what and to who's purpose? 3. Why have they chosen to class some areas as "E-P" while other areas of a similar elevation are affected by the same water table and are zoned under "R-S", "M3-1", "C5-2", "R3-3" or"M2-2"? 4.

If you knew of this plan when It began, would you have purchased your homo or, If you were already living In this area would you sold and moved? Will the value ol our homes and properties drop? Why do the people on the Beaches always have to light for their rights which oilier people take lor granted? Is our land worth that much that Government would spend our tax money to slowly run us oil? 17. If Government Is that concerned about the environment, why do they prohibit housing while at our back doors they are allowing industries to move Into and around the same areas, while their pollutants will certainty hurt the environment more than housing. Are wo talking about a situation whore money talks? 10. They allow all the commercial, industrial and service stations to stay as they are and whore they are but what happens to the residents?
