According to a spokesman for the Ontario Ministry of Consumer and Commercial Relations, the project will be completed sometime in 1984. The warehouse will em- ploy between 150 and 200 people was originally scheduled for completion last year when it was first announced four years ago. However, last May it was announced that construction would begin sometime this month. Last week, ministry in- formation officer Olga Car- men said that site preparation is scheduled to being in June. Architectural and engineering firms are presently working on the project which is to be built on a 51 acre site in the southeastern area of town. Carmen also said that a construction contract has not been awarded. "We're just looking into that now," she said. The new LCBO warehouse is one of four provincial government projects in Durham Region. A $30 million office corr.plex is now under construction in Oshawa and a $28 million reconstruction of the Whitby Psychiatric Hospital is scheduled to start sometime next year. The province is also ex- pected to construct a new provincial court building on Rossland Road East op- posite the Whitby Municipal Building. Accidents down OPP says An across-the-board decrease. in accidents repor- ted by the Ontario Provin- cial Police last year was the highlight of statistics released by OPP Com- missioner H.H. Graham today. Fatal accidents went down from 795 in 1979 to 786 in 1980. The number of per- sonal injury accidents was down from 20,982 in 1979 to 20,198 in 1980 and 32,118 per- sons were injured in 1980, a five per cent decrease. "The whole purpose of our traffic patrols is to reduce traffic accidents and I am convinced that the efforts of the police officer on patrol are the main reason for the reduction in accidents," said Graham. Graham also credited con- tinued enforcement of the seat belt sections of the Highway Traffic Act as a factor in the reduction of persons injured. OPP of- ficers laid 28,243 seat belt charges last year, an in- crease of 2.7 per cent over 1979. Although accidents were down, crime figures showed a definite upswing.

This is a 4.6 per cent increase. The largest increase came in the category of fraud of- fences, up to 4,127 from 3,748 last year. This increase is explained in part by a December 1980 case in which one man was charged with 304 counts of credit card fraud. Graham noted that wilful damage offences decreased last year. The 1980 total stands at 16,172, down 3.6 per cent. Homicides totalled 35 in 1980, down from 40. Attem- pted homicides were up slightly at 37, two more than investigated in 1979.

I EduInfo By TRUSTEF IAN BROWN Durham Board of Education (The Whitby Free Press presents this monthly column as a public service. Readers are invited to send questions to Trustee Ian Brown at The Durham. Board of Education, 555 Rossland Road West, Oshawa, Ontario. L1J 3H3.) Kids are always coming to my door asking me to buy chocolate bars to support school activities. What is the board's policy on public raising of money by students? The board approves of efforts by students to raise money for purposes approved by the principal and superintendent. The impact on public relations in the community and pressure on-individual students is expected to be taken into. account before a fund-raising project is undertaken. If you are being bothered by this activity, you should talk it over with the principal of your local school. Bake sales, fruit and candy sales, magazine subscription sales, walk-a-thons, etc. have enabled students to go on class excursions, buy team uniforms, have graduation awards, produce a yearbook, support a foster child, buy a cooler for milk, and a variety of other worthwhile projects. -I don't like the way my child's teacher deals with the children in her class. What can I do about it? The first step is to call the teacher and arrange a time to sit down and talk over the problems with her. Provide specific examples of her behaviour which bother you, and try to ex- plain why you are not happy with it. If you can, offer some suggestions for improving the situation. If things don't im- prove, discuss the matter with the principal. If you are still not satisfied, you can get in touch with the area superinten- dent (in Whitby - D.J. Kettle), and then your local trustee. How can we as parents get more involved in what is hap- pening at our children's school? There are a number of ways. You could become active members of the Home and School, Parent's Advisory Com- mittee, or Parent Teacher Association. You could volunteer your time and talents to work with pupils who need extra help, or in the library. I encourage you to make regular con- tact with you children's teachers, not just around report car- ds, but throughout the year. Encourage your principal to have an open door policy at the schoo. (You may have to demonstrate that you are not coming to judge, disrupt, or spy on school activities!) Principals who know you are genuinely interested in being a partner in education will welcome you. Finally, attend a board meeting. Observe decisions being made. Ask questions. Your effort to get involved will be rewarded!
