You can watch the squat, tough, fishing tugs butting through the channel into their snug harbour at Port Dover on Lake Erie's north shore. They're part of the largest inland inland fresh water fishing fleet in the world. ■ As the rugged little boats chiig • » past the historic lighthouse on the pier, you can see the fisherfolk moving around readying the catches they'll drop off at one of the processing processing plqnts on the harbour's shoreline. Port Dover is about the closest thing you'll find in the province to $70,000 for heart-diet project in Durham Clarke High School Report A $70,000 project to alert Durham students and workers to the link between heart disease and diet was announced today by Allan Furlong, MPP for Durham Centre, on behalf of Health Minister Elinor Caplan. Two groups, Durham Save-A- Heart and the Whitby General Hospital, will jointly co-ordinate the project. Funding will be provided provided over two years. The program will stress the importance importance of low fat diets in preventing preventing heart disease. Organizers will use workshops, community displays, and a media campaign to reach local high school students and workers. Mrs. Caplan said she was pleased that the project was based on the belief that people have the ability to lead themselves to healthier lives. "Health is a positive resource which must be safeguarded," said the minister. The Durham Region District Health Council recommended the project, after assessing it against community needs and local health care priorities. This project is one of 16 across the province announced today by Mrs. Caplan. Funding for this round of grants totals $825,000. Some of the other health promotion promotion grants announced elsewhere today today were: - $25,000 to Peel Parents Against Drugs for a project aimed at reducing reducing drug, alcohol and tobacco use among teenagers by having parents educate parents on the issue. Parents will be recruited and trained trained to deliver awareness programs in their own ethnic communities, and in their own languages; - $70,000 to the Wawatay Native Communications Society of Sioux fishing villages in the Maritimes. Some of the weatherbeaten. fishermen have been challenging the treacherous Lake for generations; One of them is "Dupper Don" Mummery who began fishing when he was 14, and spent the next 45 years bringing in catches in all sorts of weather from the calm waters rippling in the summer sunrise to the mad March days when the tugs are tossed and tumbled as they, struggle out to the nets. I'd seen Dupper (nobody knows how he got the nickname) many times in the Knechtel's Dairy Bar where I go to scribble stories in my strange longhand when working around Dover. For years, he's been one of the coffee regulars which include include other fishermen (and women), along with assorted artists, artists, artisans, merchantes, naturalists, the odd politician and -- for good measure -- a burly policeman. But I'd never really talked to the quiet, husky fisherman until I heard he had retired; had left the lake to make ship's accessories in a workshop beside his house. I went, over to see him and found him making ship's wheels. One big wheel looked like the work of a master craftsman. I was curious and asked him how long he'd been working with wood. Dupper chuckled. "About 30 years, I guess," he said. "While I was fishing for a living, I made nine fishing boats in my spare time." I suppose that's compron, knowledge around Dover, but it was surprising news to me. I asked a few more questions and learned that his grandfather had come to Dover from England where he'd Lookout to develop radio, television television and print messages, encouraging encouraging better nutrition and moderate use of alcohol and tobacco. The multi-media campaign will use native languages with English subtitles subtitles and will try to reach remote native communities 'in the North with its messages; and - $50,00 to the Haldimand-Norfolk Regional Health Unit. Workers and management will join together to identify job-related health concerns, concerns, such as heart disease, and then proceed to implement programs programs dealing with these issues at the work site. In May, Mrs. Caplan announced an additional $1 million in funding to the Health Promotion Grants Program, bringing the total amount available annually to $2 million. To date, the program has awarded awarded $3.7 million to 96 projects. Grants of up to $50,000 a year, for a maximum of two years, are available? to non-profit organizations, organizations, including agencies funded by the ministry. Competitions are held annually.
