2B - PORT PERRY STAR - Tuesday, June 12, 1990 Chief Yvonne Edgar to be among Indian leaders to sign document Chief Yvonne Edgar of the Mississauga First Nation of Scugog Island will be among nine Indian leaders to sign an historic agreement on June 19. The signing ceremony will take place at the New dit First Nation administrative building, near Hagersville. Chief Edgar described the agreement as "very historic, and very important for us. We have been waiting a long time for this." She represents about 80 Mississaugas First Nation of Scugog Island. The agreement to be signed June 19 répresents a frame- work to negotiate the modern expression of Mississauga and Chippewa Indian government. It will be the first such - agreement in the country. It calls for the negotiations of First Nation government and a Regional Indian Government on a tribal model with modern legal powers and jurisdiction. The nine united Indian councils are now considered one of the strongest indigenous gov- ernments currently negotiating self government with strong roots in historical cooperation and culture. For the signing, the First Nation administrative centre will be decorated with tradition- al Indian regalia and historic Canadian symbols of state. The Chiefs will be accompa- nied by an Indian honour guard in traditional dress, and the RCMP in scarlet tunics. Survey says... 83% of teens use alcohol In Canada, 83 percent of all teenagers use alcohol. Five per- cent have five or more drinks at a time, four or more times a month. These frightening statistics provide chilling proof of why alcohol is the most abused drug in this country today. Heavy alcohol use can take a great toll on the body. If a large enough quantity is consumed in a short period of time, the brain's ability to control breathing and heart rate may be harmed-and even death may occur. Long-term effects of heavy drinking include severe damage to the liver, heart and pancreas; and an increased risk of cancer of the mouth, larynx, esophagus and liver. On the average, the life span of a heavy drinker is 2) L [A] ['y ry [4 | SENIORS DAY EVERY THURSDAY at DETE'S DEY DA 10% DISCOUNT | v mn | FE on Pets, Supplies and wr I Discount Pet Foods 353 #33 PORT PERRY PLAZA 985-0554 az 232, "Inquire about our Free Delivery" gel 2 3 3h 2 IH 3 Ty | 2) 31 +8 51 HIRYU BUSHIDO Kdl Martial Arts Centre Masonic Hall - Queen & Lilla St., Port Perry REGISTER NOW offer expires June 20th, 1990 SUMMER SPECIAL (July & August) Shirley Martin, secretary of state for Indian Affairs will be present for the signing cere- monies, along with several MPs and MPPs, Harry Laforme of the Indian Commission of Onta- rio, and many traditional lead- ers and elders from the Missis- sauga and Chippewa peoples. shortened 10 to 12 years. Increasing among teenage drinkers is the use of other drugs in combination. When marijuana is used with alcohol, the dangers are greatly increased. Quaaludes and barbituates increase the depressant effects of alcohol, leading to stupor, possible coma and even respiratory and heart failure. We all know drinking and driv- ing can be fatal. Nationwide, drivers between the ages of 16 and 19 account for 23 percent of all traffic fatalities and 18 percent of traffic injuries related to drinking and driving. Yet, this group makes-up only 15 percent of drink- ing drivers. With the average beginning age * of alcohol use at about 13, and the average age of teenage drinking on a regular basis at 16, parents much reach their children early. You people should be strongly en- couraged not to drink because of the dangers associated with this drug. As children enter the age where there will be pressure to drink, you should be firm with them about alcohol use. Your provincial or local alcohol or drug abuse authority will be able to tell you where to find help in your area should you require it. Don't forget your neighbourhood pharmacist, either. He or she can provide valuable insight into the causes and treatment of alcohol and drug abuse. * GO KART RIDES * MINIATURE GOLF * ALL NEW KIDDYLAND ~~ WITH NEW OVER & * KIDDY KART RIDES UNDER PASS * VIDEO SHUFFLE * HUGE ARCADE * WORM * GROUP RATES * BATTING CAGES AVAILABLE Lo Rob Carnegie received his Bachelor of Commerce degree from Queen's University on May 25, 1990.
