Mr. T talks tough about drugs Mr. T, the tough guy with the bizarre haircut and outrageous jewelery from TV's "The A Team", had a powerful message about drug abuse, for grade 7 and 8. students at Midland's Bayview School, on Thursday. Mr. T was specially chosen for the just released, Ontario Association of Chiefs and Police video, because their 1984 survey identified him to be even slightly more popular than moms and dads, as the person kids would most like to see. Out of concern for young drug abusers, the popular star waived his normal $25,000 en- dorsement fee, to do the police video. Approximately 60 young boys and girls sat enthralled as their hero introduced a true story, titled "With Friends Like That"', about a girl named Lauri, who lives in a small Ontario town, 'just down the road from you.'"'

Last fall the wooden, 15-year-old Meatland sign was taken down. Noack anticipated a marijuana, acid, and other drugs she couldn't even identify, landed her in all sorts of serious troubles. The excellent 15 minute video clearly showed, from Lauri's real life experiences, her step by step progression from a little girl in grade 7, to a 17 year old unwed mother, living on welfare. Her message to Bayview's grade 7 and 8 kids was, "those 'friends' you meet through drugs won't be there when you really need them. With friends like that, who needs enemies!" Town of Midland Police Department Community Service Officers Dan Gilbert and Mike Brady spend over 500 hours each year, talking with and teaching kids in the town's schools. They have discovered young people remarkably well informed about legal and illegal drugs. The value of Thursday's presentation was made clear during the question period after with Constable Gilbert, when the discussion focused not on drugs, but on subjects like credibility, love, trust, lifestyles, and _ risk taking. new siga would be in the ground within' two months. He didn't take into consideration the hurdle of satisfying municipal conditions. By the time he had permission for a new, larger sign, far- ther from the avenue, winter had arrived. Last month Noack had to turn to a new company to make his sign, during a busy time for sign making com- panies. In Midland temporary signs are permitted a maximum of -- two months in a year. The town council says a temporary sign at Meatland has already been allowed far past the limit, and has ex- tended the deadline for its removal for the last time. Noack says he is one of a number of Midland businessmen. '"'who are fed up with hassling about signs and so on." Noack was invited by Commissioner of Works Percy Ehler to attend a public works committee meeting held last night, he said. | Penetanguishene General Hospital (Penetanguishene) 549-7442 DISTRESS CENTRE MIDLAND & AREA 526-7836 Barrie & Area FAMILY PHYSICIAN 726-7922 POISON CONTROL CENTRE Royal Victoria Hospital (Barrie &Area) 728-9802 | ; Emergency =: b : numbers i | !
