rs Re NR SRE 3 a nat AT Toa SR E\ 6 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Wednesday, Dec. 22, 1976 Project reflects. Christmas spirit continued put a face with the term '"'retarded","" said one grade 11 student involved in the program. 'It was quite an experience. I've certain- ly changed my outlook. It just has to change you." 'Some of these kids had to change diapers on 15-year-- old retarded children," said teacher Paul Arculus. "The experience of working with the retarded has left an obvious lasting impression. I think they understand." Idea behind the visits wasn't just to stand around and watch. "These Kids were volunteer workers. They helped," he said. The students staged a blitz to raise money for special recreational equipment for the Sunnydale Home, as well as a toy drive. The response (mainly from the student body at P.P.H.S.) was overwhelm- ing. 'All the kids pitched in," that way, the entire school was involved." -~ There will be plenty of toys to go around for all those at the Sunnydale home. A party at the home on Tuesday was set up and conducted by a group of Grade 11 students, complete with decorations and a visit from Santa Claus. Students readily admit they get as much out of the experience as the people at Sunnydale. "I got to realize what being retarded really said one student. "In Pe oY Kelly Harrison, Isola James, Ralph Kronister, Denise Vinnette means. It was a very emotional thing," said Martin Kypers, a Grade 11 student involved in the pro- ject. But the experience has had more of an impact than simply emotional. 'It has immense educational value," said one teacher. "It's a lesson in community involvement." Students hope that the pro- ject will carry on past Christmas. "I'd like to see us keep going," said one student. '"The fact that it is Christmas is just co-incidental." Nevertheless, Christmas has been the focal point of the effort, and has provided students with a challenge and a commitment. It is a commitment to love, understanding and goodwill. The stuff that Christmases are made of. Durham development Industrial development in Durham Region is the sub- ject of a report to be releas- ed next month by a provin- cial task force.
