(Shelley McPhee Haist photo ) 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.

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. Finger Jello 1 large can frozen 'juice concentrate, thawed 3 envelopes unflavoured gelatin 1 can water Soften gelatin in juice. Boil the water, add juice/gelatin mixture and stir until gelatin dissolves. Remove from heat, pour into a lightly greased 20 X 30 cm. pan and chill. Cut into squares when firm. Refrigerate in covered container. Can be stored at room temperature (in lunch bag) for several hours. Cheese Shreddies Place shreddies in a shallow pan and sprinkle with grated cheddar. Broil until cheese is melted. Cool and serve. Can be stored, tightly covered, in refrigerator. 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."
