Johin Barr and Darren Forbes work in quality control at Para- mount Packaging in Whitby. They inspect p ackaging and identify non-conf orming material and defective products. "Thiey've done a good job with minimal supervision on our part," says Scott Nichoils, Barr's and Forbes' immediate super- visor. The two are working under the Ajax-Pickerng and Whitbv Asso- ciation for Community Livings Basic Alternative to Sheltered Employment (BASE) prograni that helps developmentaily chai- lenged people find work in the community. Some are paid jobs, whiie oth- ers are on a volunteer basis. But ail involved with the BASE pro- grain are proud that they are working in the communty. Barr and Forbes have worked at Paramount since October. There was a four-week. trial p eriod after they were hired, and Paramount provided on-the-job training in a "«famly-type" atinosphere. Both were em-pioyed pre- viousiy, Forbes at the former Cobi Foods plant in Whitby, Barr at the former O'Tooles in Picker- ing. In fact, Barr was such a good employee that when O>Tooles closed in Pickering, he was asked te work in Whitby. t The two have made many friends whiie working at Para- mount and the company is more than pleased with their progress.

Th-is is the last offi- ciai week of school before the exams begin (sniff, sauf... yeah, right). It's been reiatively slow around school because of that. Warning te ail readers -- this school news column will be com- plimentary -- anyone with a weak stomach should proceed with caution, or stop reading here. Sir.ce this is the end of the year, this will be one of my last columns (this y ear, anyways). I'd like te take t his opportunity te thank everyone whe reads my column. I appreciate the support. Aise, I'd like te thank the teaching staff at Ecole Secon- daire Catholique Saint-Charies- Garnier for putting up with ail of us year after year ... (after year, after year, I think you get the p oint). Ail of the teachers have b3een patient with us, and in some cases, have had a littie fun at our expense (it is always in good humour, but they ai ways seem te pick on the students with the best reactions... hmmm, possible connection? Nah.) Included in the staff category are the principal, M. Berry, and the vice-principal, M. i3edard, and the secretaries, Mme Pare, and Mme Thurston, who have been kind enough te put up with myregu1ar Friday afternoon Fnd -Ot-The-School-News phone cails. As for the teachers who organ- ize school activities, and the stu- dent council, there are tee many te mention, but I must say con- gratulations te ail of the staff members and the students whe worked hard te make our activi- ties enjoyable (and time-consuin- ingse we coutd get eut of class). i3gthank yeu and con-grad- ulations te the head of the grad committee, Mme Bedard, who generously gave her turne te help the committee organize what are sure te be a fantastic and inemorable prom and graduation ceremony. Mme 1edard and the rest of the grad committee have been slaving away since the beginning of the school yenr, trying te maise money se we cjuld afford te have a great tCme, and they've succeeded. A big thank yeu aise gees eut te Mine Roch'ette and the year- book committee. The committee works se hard, often late in the evening, and the end resuit is worth it. The yearbook always turns eut beautifuliy, and it is a precieus memento of our schoei. To ail the sports tenins that we have at our school congratula- tions on deing your best in every event, and keep up the good work. Unfortunately, I ar nont aware of ail of the committees at our school, se if I forget anyone, it wasn't donc on purpese. Se, generaily, what I'nm saying is congratulations and thanks te everyone who made an effort te make our school year enjoyable. Exain sehedules were handed eut iast week (Oh ne!).
