Taking advantage of the good weather
HURONVIEW - Monday was a beautiful
day for an outing, so several residents took
advantage of this and went on a shopping
spree to Stratford.
From 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. there was a large
display of ladies' uniforms, sponsored by
Ian Sole. The uniforrps came in various
styles and colors.
On Tuesday, the men from Spruce
Meadow enjoyed their outdoor barbecue
which consisted of hotdogs and hamburgers
with all the trimmings.
Ed Stiles from Goderich was here on
Wednesday to entertain the residents as he
played many favorites on the chapel organ.
A number of residents went into Clinton on
Thursday to try their luck at the Crown
Lane Bowling Alleys in Clinton.
Bingo was played in the afternoon with a
good number of winners.
Rev. John Pluta conducted Roman
Catholic Mass Friday morning in the
chapel. Sunday morning worship was held
in the auditorium with Rev. David Snihur in
charge. Since this was David's last service
with the residents as their minister, it was
only fitting to make a presentation to him
and his family. David's wife Caron and son
Gray were guests at the service. On behalf
of the residents, Grace Peck presented
David with a brass and glass fern stand.
In the afternoon, residents had a special
treat in store for them. Members of the
Seaforth Dashwood Community Band were
here and presented a program of rousing
marches and waltzes. In a quieter mood
they played a medley of sacred selections.
Harry Hoffman was in charge of the misic.
Flora Dowson thanked the band members
for sharing their talent and • music.
Refreshments were then served.
Huronview welcomes Mab' 1 Irene Collyer
from Goderich Township. William (Billy )
Campbell from Clinton and Rita Meretta
Youngblut from Goderich.
To the families of the late Alex Howe, and '
Ruby Anderson, sympathy is extended.
Cocaine use up, cannabis down
Significant changes in the use of cocaine
and cannabis (marijuana/hashish) have
occurred, according to a province -wide
survey of drug use by Ontario adults.
The new Addiction Research Foundation
study ("Alcohol and Drug Use Among On-
tario Adults, 19774978") showed the
following: cocaine use increased in 1987,
with approximately 6.1 percent of Ontario
adults reporting use of cocaine at least
once in their lifetime compared to 3.3 per-
cent in 1984; cannabis use among 18 to 29
year olds declined significantly from 28.5
percent in 1984 to 20.0 percent in 1987.
"The new survey completes a decade of
information about Ontario adult drug
use," said Dr. Reginald Smart, Director of
the Foundation's Prevention Studies
Department. "This makes it the longest
running survey of its kind in Canada." The
1987 tudy surveyed 1,084 adults (18 and
ove ) in urban and rural regions
throughout Ontario. All surveys were con-
ducted by the Gallup Organization. The
sampling procedure was designed to pro-
duce an approximation of the adult civilian
population, 18 years and older, living in
Ontario except for those in institutions
(such as prisons or hospitals), or those
residing in far Northern regions.
A new cocaine question in the 1987
survey asked about the use of cocaine in
the form of "crack." Only 0.7 percent of all
survey respondents reported using
"crack."
Ontario cocaine use continues to remain
significantly lower than use in the United
States.
Further analysis of the 1987 data iden-
tified the typical cocaine user
characteristics as follows: young (18 to 29
years old) ; male (1.5 times more likely
than females to use cocaine); more likely
to be a Metro Toronto resident; income
levels ranged from below $10,000 per year
to above $50,000 per year; most used co-
caine once a month or less often (95 per-
cent of all cocaine users).
It is important to note that these figures
cover those who may have used cocaine as
seldom as once in their lifetime or as much
as two or three times a month. But the
category, "at least once in their lifetime"
is used because it indicates that a person
had sufficient interest and access to the
drug to try it. Of the 6.1 percent of those
who reported cocaine use, over two-thirds
(68.6 percent) had not used cocaine at all
in the previous 12 months.
"Although the proportion of those who
had used cocaine at least once in their
lifetime increased, the number reporting
use in the past 12 months did not in-
crease," said Edward Adlaf, Senior
Research Assistant and co-author of the
survey. "this finding suggests that the
number of people who have ever used co-
caine increased primarily between the
years 1984 and 1986, but not in 1987."
The decline in cannabis use among 18 to
29 year old is mostly attributable to males,
whose use declined from 36.9 percent in
1984 to 24.6 percent in 1987. As in previous
survey years, males are more likely than
females to have used cannabis. Use con-
tinues to be highest among respondents
from Metro Toronto. The majority of uses
(61.7 percent) reported infrequent use
(less than once a month).
Survey data suggests that the cannabis
user population may be aging. Although
cannabis use is declining among 18 to 29
year olds, it has increased slightly among
30 to 49 year olds from 6.3 percent to 9.2
percent. Future surveys will clarify
whether or not this trend will continue.
Fewer respondents reported total
abstention from alcohol during the past 12
months when compared to 1977 and 1982
statistics. No significant change occurred
between 1984 and 1987. Although there
were more drinkers (in 1987) , daily drink-
ing has remained stable. However, among
drinkers, this survey also shows a signifi-
cant increase in the frequency of "five or
more drinks at one sitting" episodes (54.5
percent in 1987; 49.2 percent in 1984).
"It's too soon to be certain that the in-
crease in the number of drinkers consum-
ing five or more drinks at one sitting is a
trend in Ontario," said Edward Adlaf.
"Results of the next survey are needed to
determine this."
The study also asked Ontario adults
about their use of sleeping pills, stimulants
(including pep or diet pills) and tran-
quillizers. Findings regarding these drugs
remained substantially similar to those of
previous survey years.
As in all sample surveys, the accuracy of
statistics reported is not absolute. For ex-
ample, the 6.1 percent of cocaine users has
a sampling error of 1.9 percent. This
means there is a 95 percent certainty that
the actual percentage of Ontario adults
who are willing to report cocaine use (at
least once) lies between 4.2 percent and 8.0
percent.
When considering the number of users of
the different drugs covered by this survey,
Dr. Smart cautions against
underestimating cocaine use in particular.
Although deaths are rare, the unpredic-
table relationship between doses and
fatalities concerns health professionals.
Even among recreational users, a signigi-
cant percentage appear to experience
negative or adverse reactions. For these
reasons, any use of cocaine should be of
concern to educational, judicial and health
planners and all who deal with drug use.
Pack a nourishing lunch
By: Cathy Thomson,
Nutrition Consultant,
Huron County Health Unit.
People have been carrying lunches to
work or school for years. But today the prac-
tice of brown -bagging it has taken on new
dignity. Lunch from home has some distinct
advantages - no surprises, and no excess
sodium or unwanted calories - as long as the
packer keeps good nutrition in mind.
The noon meal for children should
definitely be nourishing - to fuel rapidly
growing bodies and keep their minds alert.
A hungry child is not able to concentrate on
school work and often becomes restless and
overactive.
A good lunch should contain a selection
from each of the basic food groups. To pre-
vent boredom, include some different
items: not just bread, but pita pockets, rolls,
crackers, or muffins (whole grain ones
preferably) ; not just apples, but fruit juices,
small cans of fruit or grapefruit sections;
not just milk, but yogurt, pudding, or cheese
cubes; not just peanut butter or luncheon
meat, but hard boiled eggs, baked beans,
spaghetti or macaroni and cheese.
Try to get your child involved in planning
and making their lunch. That's the best way
to ensure they'll eat it.
Watch the sweet treats in lunch bags.
Remember, most children don't brush their
teeth after lunch. Try to include treats that
are less harmful to teeth - muffins, quick
breads, pudding, yogurt or even finger jello
(recipe below) .
Lunch should be kept as cool as possible.
Sandwiches or juice boxes can he packed,
frozen (they'll thaw by lunch time). Or a
small freezer pack can be included. Ther-
moses are also useful lunch box additions
for both hot and cold food.
Great lunches do come in bags. A balanc-
ed meal with nutritious foods is a welcome
sight when noon rolls around.

Ontario accident
toll lowest since 1954
f
The lowest fatality total in 32 years was
recorded on Ontario roads during 1986,
Minister of Transportation and Com-
munications Ed Fulton said recently.
Motor vehicle accidents claimed 1,102
lives last year, down 7.5 per cent over 1985.
The 1986 toll represents the fewest number
of deaths in the province since 1954, when
1,045 people were killed.
"I am extremely encouraged by the im-
provements last year," Fulton said. "On-
tario motorists are taking a more responsi-
ble attitude towards driving but we must
continue to strive toward improving the
situation.
"It also reinforces my belief that the
government's campaign against drinking
and driving is beginning to show signs of
success. Combined with our other safety
initiatives and conscientious police en-
forcement efforts, it has resulted in reduc-
tions in almost every category of our
motor vehicle accident statistics."
The most significant decline was record-
ed in motorcycle passenger deaths, which
dropped 37.5 per cent. Close behind were
bicycle fatalities, with a substantial
decrease of 32.6 per cent.
Injuries were also down, led by a 7.8 per
cent drop in motorcycle passengers hurt.
The number of motorcycle drivers and
bicyclists injured showed a similar im-
provement, down 7.5 per cent from 1985. in
addition, the total number of accidents
decreased by 1.3 per cent, with fatal ac-
cidents dropping by a more impressive 8.2
per cent,
"We have established a positive trend in
reducing the number of deatths and in-
juries on our roads," Fulton said. "We are
proud of what has been accomplished, but
we are all too well aware that tragedies
still occur.
"MTC, in' co-operation with thle
Ministries of the Attorney General and the
Solicitor General, will continue to work
towards improving the safety of Ontario's
roads and highways. -lout it is 'tip to all
motorists to support our efforts by their
actions. We look forward to the day when
needless accident casualties will be a thing
of the past."
