\ "Way to go Dad!" Norm Ball's 12 year old son, Sean, runs alongside his smiling father during Norm's one kilometre stretch of the Olympic Torch Relay, Monday afternoon. We don't know who's happier in this picture, father or son! 2 SHARP -- CANON TEXAS INSTRUMENTS & Adding Machines 235 Queen Street 985-7383 CALCULATORS "PORT PERRY STAR Wishing One and All a Blessed and Safe Christmas because: JESUS is the REASON for the SEASON "Special thanks to all those who gave us the priviledge of serving them CORNERSTONE CUSTOM HOMES Bob Holtby : Vic Walker (From page 1) shuttle van, and a second OPP cruiser. The Torchbearer motorhome car ried torchbearer runners like Norm to the point where they were scheduled to run, and then allowed them to hop up and ride again when they were done. Because Norm quickly boarded the motorhome after his run, the Star was unable to talk with him about his historic kilometre, but by the look on his face, it's safe to say PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, December 22, 1987 -- 37A he was thrilled about the whole experience. He was looking forward to the run so much. Even a pesky cold that he caught a few days before his adven- ture, didn't slow down his enthusiasm. And everything turned out the way he had hoped. Norm had been hoping to run in daylight (he did"), and had been crossing his fingers for good weather (it couldn't have been any better -- relatively warm with blue skies and a blazing sun). A day to share the Flame As Norm said before the run, "1 really think this has created a special kind of Canadian unity. It's a big deal for Canada and a big deal for me." Another Port Perry area resident, Marjorie Dempsey, also took part in the run Monday, but the Star was unable to share her special moment. Hopefully, however, we'll get a chance to talk to both Marj and Norm next week, about their very special experiences. Don't be a Pour host Host the perfect holiday party this year for you and your friends. Toast a truly happy, healthy and safe new year. 'Don't be a 'pour' host," says Pat Curran of CAA Toronto. "Parties around this time of year can be fun for all. You can have a wonderful time without the zap afterwards,' stated Curran. "All it takes is a little thought and pre- planning." The Canadian Automobile Association offers several sugges- tions for party hosting: -- MAKE NON-ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES AVAILABLE and be certain that everyone knows where they are. -- HELP GUESTS PACE THEIR DRINKS. The liver can only metabolize one drink per hour. Don't rush to fill glasses. If guests wish to sip drinks, let them. -- SERVE TEMPTING FOODS throughout the ®vening, but avoid preparing salty or highly seasoned foods and snacks as these make your guests thirsty. -- DON'T BE A 'POUR' HOST and push drinks on your guests. Let guests mix their own drinks. -- REMEMBER THAT BEER, WINE AND HARD LIQUOR ALL "PACK THE SAME PUNCH" PER DRINK. A 12 oz. (341 ml) can of beer, a 5 0z. (140 ml) glass of wine and a typical 11» oz.

Beer and wine merely have more water added to the alcohol in each serving. -- MIXED "SPIKED PUNCHES WITH A NON-CARBONATED BASE. Alcohol is absorbed by the body much faster when combined with a carbonated mixer. Fruit juice "or tea are preferablé bases for alcoholic punches or mixed drinks. -- FOCUS ATTENTION ON FOOD. Food slows the rate the body ab- sorbs alcohol. High protein foods such as cheese and meats are especially good because they stayin the stomach longer. A tray of crisp vegetables with a sour cream or cream cheese dip is also good. -- DIVERT ATTENTION AWAY - FROM THE BAR. Keep guests cir- culating with games, conversation or dancing. Set an example yourself and don't over-indulge. STOP SERVING ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES ABOUT AN HOUR BEFORE THE PARTY ISTO END. Bring out a tempting non-alcoholic hot or cold drink in addition to the coffee or tea. --~ ENCOURAGE ONE PERSON IN EACH GROUP TO BE A DESIGNATED DRIVER. Award a small gift to the individual in a group or couple who decides not to drink and thereby assure a safe ride home for other guests. - USE NORMAL SIZED POR- TIONS OR LESS FOR DRINKS. Do not pour *'stiff'"' or *'strong" drinks. A one-ounce jigger is considered "normal." - CONVINCE GUESTS WHO HAVE HAD TOO MUCH TO DRINK STAY OVER. If this is not the best alternative, arrange transportation with a sober friend or call a taxi. For Christmas & New Years Buy a ... KODAK CAMERA Save $15.00 & Get a FREE Olympic Touque LOOK FOR THIS.
