general hospital the other motorist iden tified only as a toronto man is in sunnybrook medical centre high school cafeterias costly food durham region milk in the cafeterias at dunbarton and pickering high schools is more expensive than what you buy at the corner store an irrate parent recently told trustee linda carder of the situation the basic idea of school cafeterias is to offer nutritious snacks at reasonable prices the trustee said a new plan announced by the ministry of health and welfare to encourage good eating habits in the schools consists of a contest between 20 high schools including those in durham to eliminate junk food from the cafeterias the prize is 21000 which goes directly to the student council of the winning school when i went to school you couldnt buy any chips or chocolate bars said mrs carder but even if theyre taken from the schools that doesnt stop the kids from going to the store to get them mothers tend to be more aware of what their children eat when they are younger mainly because they can control the childs eating habits then but as the child gets older he chooses for himself what he wants to eat she said mrs carder is investigating the prices at the two high schools and believes the schools are doing their best to keep costs down greenwood school sold to pickering greenwood a motion was supported for the sale of the greenwood school to the town of pickering for the token sum of 10 at a board meeting monday mght durham region trustee linda carder had previously put forward a notice of motion on the sale the agreement will include a

parent program in the ux bridge area some of the members questioned the need for such a program im scared it might build up a sense of false hope in the community alan wells chairman of the- committee said but they have 90 people willing to get involved and i wish them luck mayor gary herrema said he also has some reservations about the proposal i would hate to see it come to uxbridge if- it isnt really needed id like to think we are a community where people know and trust each other councillor wells added that an advantage of the program is the parents will take over from the schools and phone up the homes of children who have missed classes that would be a valuable service a child could have fallen into a snowbank or been picked up by a stranger i didnt realize the schools dont follow up on absentee children he said agencies to be premature united in region durham region the many agencies involved with childrens mental health in r durham may soon be co- ordinated to allow better communication within the system and ultimately benefit the child linda carder durham region trustee told the tribune that during the past 20 years the school boards have had to spend more money employing specialists in the field of mental health services a lot of the problems occur in the home then people feel its up to the schools to correct the situation but where do the parents leave off and the schools begin with the existence of so many services doing the same job the child may be tested over and over but the problems still remain said mrs carder duplicate services are costly tthe basis of these agencies should be to help the child with in some cases severe emotional problems it shouldnt matter who solves them as long as they get solved study centre starts new fall season

drive scarborough uxbridge planning and development members agree in principle with a 32lot estate subdivision about two miles west of uxbridge but feels there are still some things to be ironedout the 170acre parcel is owned by donald kerr his planning consultant david scarth represented him before the committee the development is to be called solridge estates so named because the design of the homes would maximize the use of the elements in the form of a passive solar energy program he said the plan includes two phases which could take as long as five years to complete depending on the market each lot is about four acres the committees major concern is access road mayor gary herrema claimed it is too long and straight i can just see cars bom bing down that stretch now then the complaints to the town will start coming in mr scarth said he would be willing to make revisions in the road plan and bring his ideas before future meeting the committee agreed the plan was a little
