CSC PAYS TRIBUTE TO ITS VOLUNTEERS

The Central Ontario District Volunteer Recognition Night gets bigger and better every year. This is not only because of the quality of the volunteers in the district, but also to the efforts of the Co-ordinator of Volunteer Programs, ALICE PHENE. ALICE did another superb job of organizing this year and, as a result, the recognition night in April was another huge success.

Approxjmately 50 people turned out, including CSC staff, volunteers in a variety of programs, and a number of parolees, who are, after all, what the whole volunteer program is about.

Joyceville Warden MARY DAWSON was the guest speaker and gave a fascinating talk on the institutional side of the business, backed up by a sound-slide production "Time for Decision." Many questions were asked and Mrs. DAWSON handled them with her usual flair.

The presentation of pins for one, three or five years volunteer service then got underway, with esc staff introducing the recipients and presenting the pins.

Ontario Deputy Commissioner ART TRONO presented a Certificate of Appreciation signed by the Commissioner to MAURICE HELPS. (More about Mr. HELPS in a separate article.)

COLIN CAMPBELL, from the Scarborough Parole Office, gave an account of the very successful C.O.A.P. program, where he has arranged for parolees to speak to thousands of students in the Toronto area about the consequences of crime.

We had hoped to have a photograph of everyone who received some recognition, but the Communications camera developed a problem and the pictures didn't turn out. Following is a list of the volunteers who were honoured with pins. . .. /3

District Director JOHN LAWRENCE is justifiably proud of the calibre of the volunteers and staff in the Central District, certainly among the most dynamic in Canada.

* * * * * * * * The Central Ontario District isn't the only area which recently

honoured its volunteers. Beaver Creek Correctional Camp recently held its Brotherhood Night to thank volunteers from the community for their efforts throughout the past year. Approximately 80 guests attended and local media were on hand to cover the event. Special guest, Warkworth Warden HANK NEUFELD, presented pins to members of the Citizen's Advisory Committee for their dedicated service on behalf of the inmates and remarked "this group is made up of a rare breed of people who give unselfishly of their time without pay."

Following are a few excerpts from an article carried by The Gravenhurst News: "Our exposure to the camp re-affirmed the fact that there are reasons to remain optimistic about the federal prison sytem ••. By attending meetings, Brotherhood Night, and talking with inmates, volunteers and support group workers, we have come to realize that what we have here in Gravenhurst is indeed special. For several years Beaver Creek crews have quietly and effectively done valuable community work for token payment. This is an accom­plishment to which the federal correctional service can look on with pride and apply the positive experience in Muskoka to other trouble spots ... At Beaver Creek a supportive community, a dedicated committee and an elightened staff work towards ensuring inmates will truly become responsible, productive citizens."

Thanks to the efforts of a group of inmates and staff at Frontenac Institution, the Cataraqui Conservation Area is being beautified for this year's use. Three inmates are working under supervision throughout the summer cleaning up a portion of the conservation area which borders the institution, in addition to making repairs to the walkways. Superintendent Downing says the work may possibly continue into the winter. This is just one of several community projects the institution has undertaken and they are to be commended for their efforts.

The lucky winner of the gift basket from Cooke's Old World Shop in Kingston is Warkworth Staff Training Co-ordinator JOHN TRAFFORD.

On a zero day the calories in ice cream will warm you as much as hot soup. When you overeat one day you're hungrier the next; huge meals stretch your stomach and

throw your appetite out of proportion. Also, exercise is not a more efficient way to reduce than diet - e.g. you'd have to climb 20 flights of stairs to lose the calories in one slice of bread. Studies show tempers reach their peak just before breakfast, lunch and dinner. Or did you know that a light snack or cup of soup or milk before bedtime makes for a good rest - it draws blood into the digestive organs and away from the brain. Only if you overeat or choose heavy greasy foods are you in for trouble.

Healthy sleepers never toss and turn. The most refreshing sleep comes early. If you sleep six hours instead of eight, you must expend more energy the next day to accomplish the same work. To make up lost sleep we must sleep a few hours longer for several nights in succession. Sleeping with someone makes restful sleep more difficult. Men who are able to get along with very little sleep are among the most energetic. Lack of sleep alone may lead to really serious illness. We fall completely asleep and also wake up in one split second. Sleeping on the left side strains the heart. Drinking hot liquids before going to bed is one of the best ways of insuring good sleep. It is unhealthy to sleep in summer with an electric fan in the room. Physical fatigue can make it difficult to get to sleep. The worst thing about insomnia is worrying about its effects on the next day's work. Mattress and springs should be of medium softness to insure the most restful sleep •

CORCAN UPDATE

It's been a busy month for all the CORCAN programs in the Region. With year-end stocktaking behind us, the shops are now busy on their 84/85 production schedules. Early indications are that this will be the best year ever for the Industries program in Ontario. In addition to our traditional customers, several major contracts are underway with new clients. Here is a short sampling:

- Royal Military College are refurnishing several of their dormitories with CORCAN furniture. Approximate value $200,000

- Queen's University is purchasing some new furniture from CORCAN and sending us some older furniture for recovering. Approximate value $100,000

- Canadian Forces Base Borden is purchasing new bedroom furni­ture and chairs from CORCAN. Approximate value $250,000 . . . / 9

This is only a small fraction of the nearly $5,000,000 scheduled for production in Ontario this fiscal year.

I wonder how many of our readers know that CORCAN has a large warehouse and showroom on Counter Street in Kingston. Most products manufactured in the Region are sent to the warehouse before being shipped to customers throughout the country . If you need new furniture for your office or you are simpl y curious about CORCAN products, please drop in and browse through our showroom. NENA AMOS, our Warehouse Foreman, and RAY TURCOTTE, our Driver Ware­houseman, will be happy to show you around.

*'1<**'1<*** EDITOR'S COMMENTS

The activities in the Ontar io Region in connection with Stress Awareness Month were very successful, wi t h a large number of participants, particularly in the physical f i t ness area. Many thanks to all of the co-ordinators in the Region who worked so hard, often on their own time, particularly K.P. recreational staff DAVE DEVONSHIRE and LARRY COOK, for their super organizing job at the Superstars Fitness Day in Kingston. Thanks also to HAROLD GOLDEN from the Pacific Region for his invaluable advice and assistance.

However, just because May i s gone, don't si t home with your feet up watching t.v . for the rest of the summer . Stress is present in all of our lives and coping with it can be fun. In this regard, information kits on dealing with stress will shortly be distributed to all employees, so please take t he time to read the brochures and keep in shape, both mentally and physically.

If yourgroup, office or ins ti t ution are planning any events during the summer and would like some free publicity, give us a call at 547-4308 or 547-4309. Deadline for any submissions to "What's New?" is the first week in any given month.
