Last week stall -attended a brief hut important meeting . The Huron
County Health Unit came to St. Anne's to introduce the new ACTION
KIT. This is a very coinprehensive.document that helps teachers to
see the possibilities for curriculum development to promote healthy
living and to deal with drug abuse through day to day classroom cur-
riculum. During the sleeting we heard that alcohol continues to lead
. the way as the most abused drug by people today. Tobacco use is up
and the use Of cannabis is as well.
As a teacher 1 have attended meetings such as this before . What
made this one unique was that these people hrought Materials that
recognized that we were teachers and that we had some influence on
• student choices. These three spoke with hope and enthusiasm and
i provided excellent resources for teachers in the classroom. Recently.
we at St. Anne's have made the issue of drug abuse and impairment a
priority. We began by staging a parents' information night on drug
abuse last year. and this year the School Advisory Council sponsored
' another meeting -at which parents -spoke with counselors, a police ofti-
cer and a lawyer about the problems a family faces"when their child
gets involved with drugs. There were some great words of advice
from these Huron County agencies who seen- tireless in their efforts
to help all curb drug abuse and addictive behavior . Our chapter of

school government's student leaders about the issues that surround
drug abuse .Wc are seeking new ways to deal with a problem that tias
- plagued all schools for tar too long.
As the meeting came to an end I thought how lucky we were to
have so many individuals like these three from the Public Health
Unit. -to assist us as educators to bring facts to our students in'a truth-
ful. current and knowlcdgeahle fashion about an issue that affects all
who live in our soeicty..1 looked at all who attended and was pleased
to see their interest during and after the meeting. Wc must teach the
whole student. and that means looking at all that affects them, as they
make their way in the world. Opinions about issues arc powerful
only if their hasis is fact.

Driving costs rise
MARKHAM - It costs $7,469.61
per year to operate a typical car,
reports CAA Central, Ontario. That
is an increase of $116.44 over the
previous year, or 1.6 per cent.
The information is based on data
provided by Runzheimer Canada, a
firm specializing in fleet manage-
ment and measuring the cost of
transportation and business travel.
Figures were calculated based on a
1998 Chevrolet Cavalier LS sedan
(2.2 litre, 4 cylinder), consistently
among the top-selling vehicles and
typical of what Canadians drive.
The annual cost of $7,469.61
was calculated based on driving
18,000 kilometres per year, which
CAA surveys reveal is about aver-
age. Calculations were also made
for 12,000, 24,000 and 32,000 kilo-
metres.That cost also varies by size
of vehicle and by province.
Generally, full-size vehicles cost
the.most to drive, followed by mid-
size, mini -vans; compact and sub-
compact vehicles. Quebec,. Ontario
and Newfoundland are high-cost
provinces, whereas Manitoba,
Saskatchewan and Alberta arc loW-
cost provinces.
Costs include operating costs
such as fuel and oil, maintenance,
and tires, as well as ownership
costs, such as insurance, licensing,
depreciation and financing.
