Javid Ahmad said that although Terrace Bay was his first northern project, build- ings he's done in southern Ontario have seen an average of 20-30 per cent improve- ment in their energy efficien- cy as a result of the audits. Ahmad takes readings from the lighting, heating and process equipment, and 'then feeds the information into a computer. The computer then pro- cesses the information and recommends ways to improve the building's effi- ciency. Municipal _ buildings, including the recreation cen- tre, were all audited by Ahmad.

"How could you pay your bills if. you couldn't read them?" asked Richard Leblanc, a grade 5 student at Schreiber Public School, in his entry. Fourth grader David O'Kane takes it one step further: "Not to read is like not breathing." Six grader Natalie MacKen- zie wrote that she "would feel stupid if someone always had to always read my magazines or books . . . better to do it myself." "If you thought of yourself as stupid (because you couldn't read), you wouldn't have very much self confidence," wrote Wendy Morrison, who's in Now rtuackable at SALVATORE ORIGINALS Wachines Coue Yarus & Supplies wt Large Selection of Kuctting Machine Gooke Come aud See Cathy by afepocutmeut 824-5157 grade seven. "And confidence is what you need to survive." Erika Morris, grade eight, pointed out that people who can't read are "smarter in their own ways. "(They) learn to use differ- ent senses and to cope in a world of literacy." Amy Legault, who's in grade five at Holy Angels, wrote that she would be "frightened when my doctor prescribed me pills and I couldn't read the amount to take," while sixth grader Philip Figliomeni wrote that if he couldn't read, he wouldn't be able "to read my grandchildren bedtime stories. I would feel like I'm not part of this world." Judging was done by Schreiber Town Office Staff, Schreiber Post Office Staff, Don and Pat Beno of Beno Insurance, and Donna Mikeluk of the Outreach Program. "We wanted to make it a community effort," Diane Lin- stead said. "And they say they enjoy doing the judging."
