In an effort to reduce smoking in the work place, the offices of the local hydro centre now have enforced strict policies which pro- hibit employees from smoking on the premises. As well, efforts are now being made to have all company vehicles designated as "Smoke Free". The hydro office in Clinton is one of the first in the province to initiate a no smoking policy. In recognition of this achievement, the Huron -Perth Lung Association recently awarded the Clean Air Award to Lionel LeBrun, manager of Ontario Hydro - Clinton Area. Salim Remtulla, president of the Lung Association made the presentation. He said that the Lung Association is active in pro- moting a smoke-free environment in the workplace and the special award is given to honor and congratulate employers who have taken action in this regard. Employees who .do smoke have been en- couraged to attend the Countdown courses which are run by the local Lung Association, and to recognize that smoking is not qtly harmful to themselves but to those arm* them. Mr. LeBrun noted that special mention must go to Ontario Hydro employees who are willingly abiding by the No Smoking f adult admission to the rule. He made particular mention of Larry Jones of Clinton who has given up smoking as a result of the new program. As part of Ontario Hydro's effort to create a smoke free working environment, a special policy has been developed to address the matter. No Smoking In The Workplace Policy 1. Smoking in building and other enclosed facilities is permitted in designated smok- ing areas ONLY. 2. Designated smoking areas have been determined by the local joint Health and Safety Committee. 3. The sale of tobacco products is NOT per- mitted on Regional premises. �.

Mount Forest has recently acquired a new replacement police dog. The dog, "Flash", a year -and -half old German Shepherd, and handler Constable Glenn O'Rourke, recently completed a fourteen - week Canine Orientation Course at the Provincial Police Academy in Brampton. During the course, "Flash" was trained on obedience work, tracking lost or missing persons, tracking criminals and attack ap- prehension. In the near future, "Flash" will also be trained in the detection of illicit drugs. Before becoming a police dog, "Flash" was a family pet from the Peterborough area. "Flash" will be replacing Constable O'Rourke's previous canine partner "Trapper". - "Trapper", who has been working with Constable O'Rourke for the past eight -years, will be retired and become Con- stable O'Rourke's pet when "Flash" com- pletes the Drug Detection Training Course. Assistive devices program expanded "The Ontario March of Dimes is delighted by the Ontario government's announcement to expand the assistive devices program," said David Logan, President of the Ontario March of Dimes. The Ontario March of Dimes, together with allied consumer groups and agencies, has been asking successive Ontario govern- ments to expand the assistive devices pro- gram to adults with disabilities. Many adults with physical disabilities now face critical delays in obtaining such essential equipment as wheelchairs and braces. Those without sufficient funds to pay for these devices, must rely on charity or try to penetrate the labryinth of different government programs. Disabled youths up to 23 are now provided with 75 percent of the funding for these devices by the Ontario Ministry of Health. "The announcement came during an On- tario March of Dimes board meeting precisely at the point at which we were discussing the stresses on our tight assistive devices program budget." "The Ontario March of Dimes has been delighted as well by the attention given dur- ing this campaign by all three party leaders on issues affecting people with disabilities, their their families and friends," David Logan said. "We have circulated a questionnaire to party, leaders on these issues and have received comprehensive answers." Questionnaires have also been circulated to all candidates in nearly every riding in Ontario and are now being collected and tabulated. Before the first advance poll on September 3, the Ontario March of Dimes will be holding a news'conference to release the leaders' answers to these questions and to elaborate on Ontario Mardi of Dimes reaction to, them.
