For 18 Canadian and Ukrainian youths, that experience will take place in Bowmanville. The participants, part of the Canada World Youth exchange program, will arrive in Bowmanvillc at the end of July and spend 12 weeks working in the community. As part of the cxchapge, the students need a place to stay. And that's where area residents arc being asked to help. Project supervisor Jane Kali is still looking for six families that would be willing to take in the participants. Canada World Youth holds a very broad definition of family. Single parents, parents, seniors with adult children, young couples and all other types of families arc considered acceptable. What is important, Kali says, is that the families are willing to share a part of their everyday lives with the participants participants and make them feel welcome in their homes. Yolanda Jones was involved in the Canada World Youth exchange in 1992 when she spent a total of seven months volunteering in community-based projects in British Columbia and Uruguay. "It was a wonderful experience that I will never forget," says Jones. "I still write to the family I stayed with in Uruguay. They were wonderful people who took a real interest in my counterpart counterpart and me. They made us feel like part of their family." "Staying with them made me get a true sense of what it's like to live in rural Uruguay in a big extended family," family," she added. "I would love to go back and visit them again." Jones is spending some time helping helping get things ready for the July 26 arrival of this year's exchange participants participants and encourages families to become involved in any way they can. "The exchange was a wonderful experience for me and I encourage others others to be a part of it too," she says. Anyone wishing to learn more about Canada World Youth, or considering considering becoming a host family, can call Jane Kali at 623-0621.

All games start at 8 p.m. Edgar said he won't tinker much THE SPINAL COLUMN OPTIMAL SPINE = OPTIMAL HEALTH In 1900, 3% of die North American population died from cancer. Then we spent $39 billion on cancer research for a cure. The result? In 1994, 23% of North Americans died from cancer. This can hardly be considered "progress". Much of this problem is due to the way we tamper with the natural mechanisms of the human body. When we eat a diet of processed, cooked, refined foods we predispose our bodies to cancer, By removing certain elements from our foods we starve our bodies of specific nutrients. This results in weakened, sick cells which then become cancer targets. Many pioneering individuals have utilized alternative care in the successful treatment of cancer, few if any accepted by traditional medicine. Rather than glorifying drugs and treatments which, over nearly a century, have done little to stem the increase of death from cancer, we need to recognize those who have increased our understanding of care of the human frame, diet and nutrition. The common thread that connects all successful cancer treatments beyond a proper functioning nerve supply is nutrition and diet. Many studies show that the single most powerful dietary measure you can take to improve your health is to eat a lot of vegetables and fruits. A low fat, high fibre diet lowers cholesterol, reduces risk of heart disease and regulates blood sugar. It also controls arthritis pain, promotes weight loss and strengthens bone. Research has found that the risk of cancer is reduced 2 fold in people who eat larger amounts of fruits and vegetables compared to those who eat smaller amounts. Vegetarians have a lower risk of heart disease and cancer and live longer than meat caters. 1 feel the wrong road to curing cancer is being taken. We spend our time looking for a magic bullet cure. We use chemotherapy and radiation to give us the temporary illusion that a tumor is shrinking. In reality it is the body's specific defense systems that arc being compromised and the end result is a painful death. Two factors prevail in beating cancer: proper diet and reducing/climinating stress. As a chiropractor, my purpose is to educate and adjust as many families as possible'toward optimal health. The chiropractic lifestyle focuses on maintaining the proper integrity of the nervous system. In addition, we focus on lifestyle changes like diet and nutrition. With respect to diet, our intake must focus on whole, fresh vegetables and fruits and must place limitations on fat, protein and sugar. Fat should not provide more than 30% of total daily calorics and should come from good sources like fish oil, flaxseed oil and vegetable oils. Protein should be roughly 30% of total calories and refined sugar intake should be carefully monitored. Chiropractic spinal care and a healthy lifestyle are the most important factors involved in obtaining true wellness. Yours and your families' future depends on it.

Mega Board From Page One "If the GTSB tries to go any further than that with Durham's planning, I and, I think, all members members of (Durham) council will be upset to say the least," said Anderson. The GTSB met with some initial reluctance from Durham and other regions when it was first formed by the province at the beginning of the year. But the regions relented and joined when the province assured them the board would not become another level of government. government. Anderson will not be able to attend today's session because of a previously- scheduled GO Transit meeting. But, lie said lie'll be watching closely for any changes to the Board's directive. "It will be interesting to sec what comes out of this study," lie said. "I'll keep a close eye on what they're saying."
