t t Crime Stoppers Report Successful Year The Crime Stoppers program program in Durham Region has concluded another very successful successful year in 1988. Chairman of the civilian Board, which runs the Crime Stoppers Program in cooperation cooperation with Durham Regional Regional Police, Cathy O'Flynn says, "This community service service could not operate without without the co-operation of the media, the police department and the citizens at large who want to make sure that those committing crimes are caught and punished. Many of the cases solved by anonymous anonymous tips would otherwise go unresolved." In 1987, Durham Regional Regional Police under Chief Jon Jenkins, decided to join the Crime Stoppers Program which has spread throughout throughout North America. Durham Regional Police went in with the City of Toronto, York and Peel Region in a joint program which was using a 1-800 number and phones answered in Toronto. The group operated under a Central Central Board with representatives representatives from each Regional Board. In May of 1988 the Durham Durham Regional Crime Stoppers Stoppers Board decided to get its own phone system to answer answer calls within the Durham Durham Region and operate independently independently of the other Regions. O'Flynn says, "The Board felt that people were more likely to call a local number and that the land area of the Durham Region with its eight municipalities, encompassing over 1000 square miles, needed its own independent program. Sergeant Sergeant Sandy Ryrie, who has been the Co-ordinator of the Crime Stoppers since its inception inception in 1986 by Durham Regional Police now can work full-time in the Durham Durham Region rather than travelling to Toronto for several several days each week." "Since we moved to the new telephone number in May and direct administration administration in the Durham Region, the rate of charges laid is four times what it was before before and the number of cases cleared is more than double." The Durham Regional Crime Stoppers is run by a i Be lb pen with representatives from all areas of the Durham Region. The Board meets monthly at Police Headquarters in Oshnwa where it receives re ports from Sergeant Ryrie on the tips and property and drugs recovered during the month, and decides on the amount of the reward up to $1000.00 for each tip. All persons persons calling Crime Stoppers are identified by numbers therefore names are never used. The Board also administers administers the promotion of the program and fundraising for the money paid out in tips. O'Flynn says, "The great thing is that Crime Stoppers costs the taxpayers nothing. The rewards paid are raised privately through fundraising fundraising and the Board Members are voluntary. The" media are marvellous in giving us free coverage of unsolved crimes. It's a bargain for citizens citizens and bad news for those who commit crimes." "The Durham Regional Crime Stoppers now receive over 1000 calls a year and in the last six months has recovered recovered $96,711.00 worth of property. The longer the program is operating, the more effective it is becoming." becoming." soys Sandy Ryrie, Coordinator Coordinator of the Program. The Durham Regional Crime Stoppers Board is a member of Crime Stoppers International. "While Crime Stoppers is only a small part of the overall overall work done by Durham Regional Police it is an effective effective part."

This year, the Drama Department Department will attempt to present a rendition of tne famous famous 70s musical, "Grease," which starred John Travolta and Olivia Newton John. The actors certainly have their work cut out for them in this touching, fun-loving, sometimes frightening, and sometimes saddening play about teenagers growing up in a misunderstanding society. society. Everyone involved hopes to learn something from the production. The actors feel that they will learn something something because they must become become people who have problems problems that they themselves have never experienced. The portrayal of these intensely realistic characters will definitely definitely be a challenge. "By the end of the play," says Geoff Simpson, who plays Vince Fontaine, an obnoxious obnoxious disc jockey, "Some people might learn about ■ themselves: some people might learn about others: some people might even learn tolerance." So far, Mr. Lindop, the Theatre Arts teacher and director director of the play, has done an excellent job of running the rehearsals and organizing organizing costumes, props, people and other details. Hopefully, with his help and others who have dedicated their time to work, by his side, "Grease" will be B.H.S.'s best play yet. Performance dates are scheduled for March 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th. Tickets are available from the B.H.S. Drama Department.
