A group of teen volunteers volunteers from St. Stephen's Secondary School, along with two Durham schools and Catholic Family Services Services of Durham, have put together a program called Take a Stand, a series of in- class presentations and a play open to the community to advise youth and parents about teen dating.

The play, which is suitable suitable to children 12 and up, along with their family and friends, points out some of the issues surrounding dating dating and abuse. "We were increasingly seeing young men and women who are needing counselling because they are involved in violent rela-i tionships," says Donna Harris Harris of Catholic Family Scr-j vices of Durham. There are a lot of issues! that need pointing out, says Sarah Lawrance, a 17-year- old Grade 12 student who acts as a peer leader in the program. "Some people don't know that certain things are considered violence, certain things are considered warn' ing signs in relationships,' she notes. The information being presented is timely, says another of the peer leaders. Students On Ice STUDENTS from page 1 trip is largely being paid for by private sponsorships and support from the local board of education. Justin will be joined by Ben Whatley from Peterborough Peterborough Collegiate and Vocational Vocational School, Justin Tighe from Norwood District District High School, and Virissa Centers from Cobourg West District Collegiate Collegiate Institute, along with 58 other students from across the country and an expedition team led by Mr. Green. The final interview, held at the KPR board office in Peterborough, was "really, really exciting," says Justin. "I've done interviews before, but when I was doing this one, it was for something huge," says Justin, who hopes to eventually eventually study outdoor education education and biology at Lake- head University in Thunder Bay. The expedition will "sort of confirm that I really really want to do this," he expects. expects. A long-time Air Cadet with the 151 Chadburn Squadron in Oshawa, Justin has already proven he has what it takes to survive in a harsh environment. In the summer of 1998, Justin participated participated in a six-week survival survival course, which culminated culminated with a four-day stint alone in the Quebec bush. "We had to find our own food," recalls Justin, adding leaders gave participants a knife and a once-a-day sup ply of water. The expedition takes place during the nicest part of the Antarctic year. Because Because the Antarctic is in the southern hemisphere, the Austral summer will be under way when the Canadian Canadian contingent arrives. That means temperatures ranging from minus 10 to plus 10 degrees Celsius, says Mr. Green, 34. "You can get some storms (which are) comparable to a winter storm in Canada," says the leader, who now runs Students Students on Ice from the Ottawa Ottawa area. Mr. Green has been involved involved in expeditions for about the last eight years, and has travelled all over the world, "a lot to the polar regions." Though this is the first time taking a group of students to the South Pole area, he has taken groups of older individuals. "The Antarctic is just such a powerful and inspiring inspiring placcj. Seeing how it was changing and impacting impacting the-lives of the adults we were taking" made him decide to take younger people people on the voyage, he says. Students will be able to gain a more global perspective perspective through their journey, he notes. Antarctica "is the last place on earth that really humbles mankind," surmises surmises Mr. Green. "It's a place that's very much a window to the world and a platform for environmental issues that are global in nature." JAMES R. YANCH TRUSTEE IN BANKRUPTCY IMAM-: !■:.
