My letter was not intended to defend those responsible for the damage done on Halloween. They should be dealt with in the same manner as any other of- fenders of the law. The point be- ing made was that not 'all teen- agers' should be made responsible for a few who choose to be malicious. The youth centre was merely a sug- gestion. Basically, 1 feel that the responsibility rests on the shoulders of the parents, and the community. They should en- sure their children have con- structive activities to fill in their idle time. I did not suggest that the Town Council or the Regional Government, or some other in- stitution develop the youth cen- tre - the kids should be an inte- gral part of its foundation, with encouragement from the com- munity. Statistics have recently been released that reveal that an- other 250,000 childrep fell be- low the poverty line from 1989 to 1991 - a 30 per cent jump, quoting an organization, which means that, as of 1992, 1.2 mil- lion children, nearly one in five Scouts say "thanks" To the Editor: On behalf of the 1st Port Perry Scouts, I would like to thank all the parents who vol- .unteered their time and decora- tions for our float entry. I would also like to thank Cashway Lumber for donating their Region prepared to truck and driver for the parade and the Chamber of Commerce for holding this event. It was all very much appre- ciated. Joan Stainton, Parade Float Co-ordinator be a major player From page 1 nicipalities will struggle to find the money needed, it would not be the case for Durham. He noted Durham was willing to go beyond the commitment as it had a healthy credit rating 'and a strong reserve fund. a "They should go with part- ners that are cash rich," he said. Mr. Aker said the region could find more than $50 mil- lionto contribute to the project. In order to jump in fast with 'the projects, regional represen- tatives presented a wish list to- - the Durham MP with more than $193 million worth of sanitary sewage, waterworks and trans- portation infrasturcture pro- jects. Among these projects is the $8.5-million construction of the Nonquon River Water Pollution Control Plantin Scugog. "We're prepared to make their program grow," Mr. Aker said. "We will build these pro- jects and accelerate them." Regional Chairman Gary Herrema is. also excited about becoming involved in the pro- ject. ¢ players," he said. "We're pre- pared to go beyond on numerous projects." Locally, Scugog is also look- ing to become involved with a number of projects. Mayor Ho- ward Hall presented his list of works projects to the Durham - MP as well. . Aside from the water treat- ment plant, he also expressed interest in obtaining funding to dredge Lake Scugog near the boatlaunch. "I don't expect a lot from the federal member, but where he can help, we'll appreciate it," he said. OPTIMUM Series by Repla Setting a new standard requires proven, higher performance.

"We're prepared to be major kids under the age of 18, was poor. There are kids that are ac- tually going hungry, and with companies restructuring, which means layoffs (i.e., Coca-Cola in Uxbridge), idle time is going to have to be addressed. : There is now, in our country, a general swing to the devalua- tion of children, childbirth, and families because of the focus on controlling deficits and financ- es. This is my point in the origi- nal letter to the editor. I suggest to Mr. Millar that yes, maybe you have done 'your part' and put your name up in 'lights'. for doing so, but there are many other people who have done as much, and more, and never asked for a plug, or $12 per per- son (does this include the chil- dren's discount?), . Suzanne Neal Learning bow to cope with grief Questions & Answers about grief recovery" Q. I have lost my pur- pose for living since my wife died. What good am A. It's natural to feel pur- poseless after a major loss. I a spouse dies. There is such a total adjustment required that day-to-day life seems to have lost its meaning. We are cut off from everything | we know as "normal" exis- tence. But each of us is a whole and complete person in our own right. We have a life and a purpose uncon- nected to the deceased. It is difficult to keep this in mind when we have lived closely linked to another. We can help ourselves. by reading self help guides and by attending a bereavement group, if possible.
