SAID program comes to Seaforth high school BY MARTHA HOOK This year's Christmas parade will have an entirely new organization adding its float to the evening procession. Thiscontribution will be made by the SAID (Students Against Impaired Driving) committee from the Seaforth District High School. The SAID group was formed after the ADAPT program finished at the high school. Many concerned students, with the help of Terri Brintnell and Ruthann Waldick, established this committee in order to main-' tain awareness of the hazards of drink- ing/drugging and driving. Financial con- tributions from Vincent Farm Machinery and the money raised from the Much 'Music Dance in Clinton, helped supply the founda- tion for the group. So far the committee is in its initial stages. After two meetings the following have been chosen to represent SAID as its executive: Ben Driscoll, president; Julia Prest, vice-president; Chrystal Whyte, secretary; and Sheila Dallas, treasurer. The organization also has divisional com- mittees to look after advertising, press Store renovated A business that has contributed to the visual improvement . of Seaforth's Main Street was inadvertently missed in Last week's business update column. Dave and Marlene DeVries have done a number of exterior and interior renovations , to GINETTE'S RESTAURANT in recent months. In addition to painting the establishment the owners have given it an added homey touch, with outdoor window boxes. during the spring and summer months. reporting and .fundraising. In order to create some awareness and in- terest among the students at SDHS, SAID has begun a logo compaign. The student who submits the best logo before December 9 will receive a pair of tickets to the semi- formal (to be held on December 11). All students are allowed and encouraged to show their creative talents. Of course the other project the committee is involved in, as is most of the town, is the Christmas parade. Along with the float, leaflets will be handed out along the parade route explaining the major goals of SAID. Crime stoppers • from page 3 "If you see the OPP getting that Involv- ed in a program in one year, it must work." STATISTICS The best way to gage the effectiveness of a program is to look at the statistics - number of phone calls and the number of cases solved because of the phone calls. In Grey Bruce, the program started on May 15 and from that date to October 31, the OPP have made 18 arrests, placed 60 charges and cleared 50 cases with 120 calls to Crime Stoppers. As for drugs, they were ale to recover $1,780 worth as well as $5,300 in stolen pro- perty. For this, they paid $800 in rewards. "We're extremely satisfied," said Mr. Osborne. One case he told about happened in July and involved five arsons during one night. "I worked on it for a week and I was on the wrong trail. Then a eat! came In to Crime Stoppers who told who they (ar- sonists) were," Mr. Osborne explained. "That eliminated a lot of work. "I went to the person (who was named) and laid 15 charges of arson." In all, that one phone call led to 17 charges of arson and one riilschief charge. Cal Miller, a crime writer for the Toron- to Star and a member of the International Board of Crime Stoppers, gave statistics on the Toronto program whichstarted in 1984. • "For the first month, we literally had no stats. By the end of the year, we couldn't believe the results," Mr. Miller Said. From July 1984 to October 31, 1987, 2,970 charges were laid; $1.6-rtiillion in stolen property was recovered; $16.1 -million (street value) worth of drugs were seized because 0£ 11,194 calls to Crime Stoppers, HURON COUNTY CRIME STOPPERS Mr. Sabin, who has been working on Set- ting up Huron County's Crime Stopper pro- gram for approximately one month, hopes to have all the loose ends tied Up by Mid, March so the program can begin. - "It will be similar to the Grey Bruce prop gram, offering a $50 - $1,000 reward,," Mr. Sabin said. One difference he foresees is the operating budget. Presently Grey Bruce is working with a $15,000 - $20,000 budget while Huron's would be apprexiinately $10,000. Because the Huron Crime Stopper pro- gram is for the entire county, Mr; Bahia said the central location of Clinton has been chosen as their headquarters, operating out of a room in the Clinton Police Department. 1 INTERIOR D®®RS SELECT VARNISH GRADE MAHOGANY 2'0" x 6'8" x 1-3/8" $27.95 2'6" x 6'8" x 1-8/8" $31.95 CEDAR FRENCH DOOR 2'6" x 6'8" x 1-3/8" with glass $149.95 . 2'8" x 6'8" x i-318" with glass $149.95 WE DELIVER.
