The Oakville Beaver, W ednesday S ep tem be r 4, 2002 - A 3 DARE p ro g ra m needs fu n d in g (Continued from page 1) 1 Free DEIPP clinic Sept. 1 0 A free Developmental Early Identification Prevention Program (DEIPP) consultation clinic is being offered on Tues., Sept. 10, at the Oakville Parent-Child Centre, 337 Kerr St., starting at 9-11 a.m. Consultations are provided on a first come first serve basis, arrive early to register. For more information, call the centre at 905-849-6366. SINCE 1 9 5 9 works is not about ego, says Halton Regional Police Education Services Co-ordinator Sgt. Joe Prasad, but is important for several very pragmatic reasons. First, Prasad says some hard evi dence will help fundraisers when they approach area service clubs and other groups for financial contributions to help keep Halton's $500,000 DARE program up and running. When some one ones asks about supporting studies -- as they invariably do, says Prasad -- the NMA's smoking findings will be invaluable. Earlier this year, the Halton public and Catholic school boards withdrew their financial support for the program citing budget restraints. "We need to get the support behind us," said Prasad. The study results can likewise be offered to parents, who are justifiably concerned about their children, but want at least some assurances that DARE actually works. (Prasad said one parent is so impressed with the program they offered a percentage of their com pany's sales to DARE.) That said, Prasad has no illusions that every child will be steered away from smoking, drugs and violence just as driving instructors know it's impossible that none of their students will ever get into an accident. "We hope they will have learned from this and take it through their adult life, but we have to practical," he said. "Still, it's incumbent on us teach chil dren these life skills. Society will be better for that." DARE America, which controls the program globally, will likely change its curriculum starting with the Sept. 2003 school year and Canada is expected to follow suit. Rather than one 17-week program, it might become three blocks spread over three grades, the last one in Grade 9. (Prasad said he's not certain if Canada will also adopt the U.S. model of teaching DARE starting in Grade 5 rather than Grade 6.) One aspect that w on't change, said Prasad, is that DARE will continue to be taught only by police officers, since -- in addition to the anti-drug message -- the program affords children the chance to see officers up close and de mystified. "We have to be proactive," said Prasad. "If not, all w e're doing is chas ing our tails as youths go in and out of the (legal) system." Prasad is adamant that one impor tant factor in the quality of life in any community is crime, or the lack there of. If officers can head bad behaviour off at the pass, all the better. "W e're not successful by how many bad guys we catch but how much we prevent crime," said Prasad. M ichael's H ealth fie Beauty Spa Peter C. McCusker · Oakville Beaver WORKERS ESCAPE HARM: Fate, it seems, couldn't wait for Ford of Canada's upcoming dem olition of its old headquarters after a fire destroyed a portion of the 41-year old structure's roof, T\iesday. The call came to the Oakville Fire Department around 2:30 p.m. after which crews responded immediately and doused the blaze. In this picture, a firefighter atop Aerial 3, showers the roof with water. Other firefighters advanced hose lines up stairs. At first report, four people were trapped on the roof, but they managed to make it to safety unharmed. A cutting torch being used to dismantle the structure touched off the roof membrane, which issued clouds of dense black smoke. Damage was restricted largely to the roof. Canadian Tire collecting food bank donations The Daily Bread Food Bank and the Canadian Tire Foundation for Families are currently running an in-store cash collection program to help address the critical food shortage at the Daily Bread Food Bank This week participating Canadian Tire stores in the Greater Toronto Area -- including the two Oakville stores -- will collect cash donations. The Canadian Tire Foundation for Families will match every donation dollar for dollar. The funds will be used to purchase non-perishable items for the Daily Bread Food Bank. Cash collection boxes will be available at at participating stores . Food banks across the Greater Toronto Area have experienced increased demand for their serv ices this year. Because hunger is a problem not only in inner city areas but also in the suburbs, Daily Bread will share the food purchased with Canadian Tire donations with their member agen cies throughout the region. Daily Bread provides food to 170 member food programs throughout the GTA, including the Oakville Fareshare Foodbank. M y nam e is Louise.
