W noted that the past year had been one of considerable accomplish- ment for trustees as they reqvnded to the needs and demands of the learners in otw schools. Its comments reviewed the presentations to the board. the develop- ment of new policies, the political activity, the ac- tivities of the four standing committees and the conutk consultatif de langue fran- caise, and the work of Durham trustees with the Ontario Public School Boards Association that had taken place over the previous twelve months. Ian urged the new board to be diligent as it faces the challenges of the future. He warned trustees that resources available to them from government sources will continue to shrink, while the ability of local ratepayers to support rising taxes will continue to decline, making tough deci- sions necessary in order to achieve the delicate balance between ex- cellence of program and fiscal responsibility. He stressed that the board must be inicreasingly ac- countable for its actions and an excellent manager of change if it is to remain strong and vital. "I value very highly the eleven years I have spent here in the service of public education. - Brown said "It has been a tresnendous; privilw to have worked with so many fine, dedicated trustees and staff members.- In clar, ing.

December it, 1991 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Those Government Costs by Bob Watson It is encouraging to note that the NDP government of Premier Bob Rae is investigating to see what the cabinet members can do to reduce costs in government. There is r;lenty of money being expended for no really good reason every level of our governments so we wish them lots of luck. Metrc Chairman Alan Tanks has one good idea which is to begin building subways and roads to get the thousands of construction workers back to work. Public projects which get the unemployed back into action would stimulate the whole economy and basically that is the one issue politi- cians tend to avoid. However, to get the finances to sponsor projects for work employment government must either borrow the money or add on more taxes. Much as we hate to borrow money. at the present time. it is the preferable method as opposed to tax increases. When the economv recovers. however, we would like to see costs of government slashed to pay the debts off. The Reform Party has a plan to achieve debt reduction and the other politicid parties should grapple with the same idea. Let's get Canada and its people back on the road to economic good health! On Scab Punishment Dear Sir: Public Senrice Alliance President Daryl Bean recently revealed the ugly face of force unionism when he wrote a chilling. frightful letter to three public servants.

Unfortunately. no me in authority - not the police and cer- tauily not our iutiess politicians - seems willing to stand up for the rights and freedom of these women and others like them.

Singers (Photo - Bob Watsori) North York General Opens Teen Health Clinic Consider the possibibbes. A 16 -year-old girl wants information about birth control. A 14 -year-old bay is concern- ed about being the shortest in his class. A Myear-old diabetic feels left out when her friends go ouit for ice cream. Where do these teens turn for help? For a number of reasons, adolescents often don't know whet e to go or who to talk to about their can- cerns. The result. according to Dr. Diane Sacks. Director of the North York General Hospital Teen Health Chrac. is that the adoles- cent population is not well - served. "Adolescents often fall between the cracks of medicine," she says "because both community- based and inpatient ser - vim are not set up to their un4 P I ." For example. many teens feel i m the peed-trician's office-, they are no longer children bit not yet adults. Some adolescents exlx con- cern about confidentiality and resist visiting their family doctor. On the othei- band, most hospitals lack i 4� Z facilities to deal with ads age group. They are not ap- . te for paediatric ni s yet not easily - managed with adults. The impact of this "Catch 22" for adok:scents is reflected in the alarming adolescent mortality statistics. Death rates for adolescents aged 15 to 19 are triple those for children aged 5 to 14 years. It is the one age group in Canada in which the mortality rate is actuafly rising. In a coun- try that boasts one of the most sophisticated health care systems in the world, there is something drastically wrong. Research has shown that teens' primary health con- cerns are centred on lifestyle issues, not only physical problems. Surveys among high school students in 1972 and 1988 identified their major health issues to be related to drinking, cigarette smoking, and concerns about sexuality. Meanwhile, paediatri- cians and family prac- tioners do not, in many cases, feel comfortable handling the psyd�wsocial issues facing adolescents. A national study conducted in ISM found that poediatri- exam rated their training in adolescent medicine to be inadequate. Another study conducted with family practitioners and patediatricians; at North York General Hospital and the Hospital for Sack Children that teen health and safety issues wete not being ade- quately addressed, The Melissa Depends On Holiday Blood Donors During December Melissa Bhakta will receive gift three ti on her birthday, on Christmas Day, and an the day she goes to Toronto's Hmpstal for Sack Cluidren to . ve the gift that makes birthdays and Christmas possible for her. That gift is a transfumon of red blood cells - the gift at life. Melissa has Thalassemia Major, an inherited condition that pvvents the body from roiald enough normal red cells to carry oxygen to fisum. To treat her disease and help her develop normally, she has gone to the hsoptal for a transfusion every month for over five years - she wdl be six on Dec. 10 - and mist contim to do so until a cure is found. A severe form of chronic anemia, ThaLamsemia Ma- jor's effects include fatigue, recurrent infee- bons and possible bean and liver complications. Yet, thanks to the gewrosi- ty of blood donors, the transfusions Melissa receives enable her to live a happy life. 'tSbe likes to laugh a K" says her mot , iyoti. "Mehma is a very giviric affectionate child. She hugs me all the time. And when I clean up or set the table, she loves to help."

New $60,000 Chalmer Awards Four new Chalmers ,awards worth a total of ,$60,000 per year, were an- ,nounced at the launch of the Ontario Arts Council Foundation on Dec. 4th. The newly incorporated foundation enhances OAC's ability to meet the wishes of private citizes who want to participate directly in the development of creative excellence in the arts. Individual donors now have the opportunity to en- dDW ft , awar& and fellowships to enable talented artists to fulfil their potential. By sharing OAC's expertise, the foun- dation is able to maximize the effectiveness of every contribution; in particular, the foundation ensures that the recipients of each award will be chosen by their peers in the arts, us- ing the assessment process that is a tradition at OAC. A recent bequest from Jean A- Chalmers is the first donation to be held by the Foundation. Mrs. Chalmem generously be - quested over SM.000 to support Ontario's artists. This amount will be added to the $3 million previously donated by the Floyd S. Chalmers family to form The Chalmers Fund. Income from this bequest has allowed for the crea- tion of the following four new annual Chalmers Fund ,awards to be presented for -the first time in 1992. The Jean A. Chalmers a" for Musical Expres- sion was developed to recognize individual per- formers or ensembles who have made an outstanding contribution to Canadian music. The award will honour individual inter- pretive artists or perform- ing ensembles whose careers have made a -significant contribution to Canadian musical creativi- ty- The $20,000 award will be ,accompanied by an original work by an Ontario visual artist. The Jean A- Chalmers Awards for Music position are two which will be pre-set togedw- The first $10,0D0 award will honoo the Canadian composer of an outstanding work in a particular genre. A second award of the same value will be presepted to the Ontario - based producer or commis- sioner of the selected corn - position. Both awards will be presented annually, and will be cyclical in nature. In the first year, they will honor a composition created for musical ensembles; in the second year, one for voice; in the third year, a piece in the electoacoustic field. The Jean A. Chalmers Visual Arts Award is designed to recognize in- dividual Canadian artists whose work continues to u -i - fluence creativity and sets high standards for innova- tion and excellence in the visual arts. Ibis $20,000 award will recognize artists with a substantial body of work. The impact of their con- tribution may be made through the standards set by their work, their teaching, or by the environ- ment they have established allowing creativity to Bourish.

December 11, 1"l Bill Watt's Worlds GOOD TIMES: Over the years we have become weary of pinched faced Puritans bleating that the arts should be self sustaining. It's true that too much support can pro- duce art on a piecemeal. cheap jack basis: the lash of hunger, after all. is a greater stimulus than the assurance of honey in the horn. It remains. however. tha t without some assistance, many works of ail would simply not be created. This is particular- ly true of the performing arts. It's also true that the arts have always received some measure of support through patronage- Those patrons were frequently the government of the day in the form of rovaltv or, as we now say. th� esiablish- ment. So the principle of sup- port for the arts is entren- ched and rightly so. say we. In Canada one of the fruser beriefact"s of the arts continues to be the Chalmers Fund. A recent bequest from Jean A.

What a pleasant evening it was. Naturally. one was pleased by the an- nouncernents. The pleasure was compounded i 1however, by the pleasure of being in fine company while enjoying fine food and drink. This was not a Sylvia Train type of party - in fact it vrasn't really a party -so there will be no listing here of those in at- tendance. May it suffice that those in attendance were representative of the performing arts as they should be. Oh yes. we should also mention that a Foundation has been established to receive, in trust. major gifts which support the aim of the Ontario Arts Council. For further infor- mation.

It should be an enjoyable albumandinthemai itis. We couldn't warm to it completely and that's because of two of the readinp. They are Mr. n ri - n MCFJg_ gin's Christmas by Stephen L,eacock and Two Stories by Tommy Gallant. The, first is a surprisingly bleak piece about a young boy losing his Christmas generosity because of his parsimonious Parents. The second recounts the Christmas of a young lad whose ne'er do well father is in prison. On Christmas morning he finds his stock- ing filled with horse manure only to be told that had he risen earlier he might have had the whole horse. That's funny enough. one supposes. in a metaphorically wintry way but the humour did nothing for us. Perhaps the intention was to remind listeners that Christmas is not always as it should be, Well maybe, but what, after all, is the point? We all know that Christmas is not always a happy time but why be reminded of the fact on an otherwise most pleasant album?

In March 1990, Environment Canada announced the first products to be certified by the Environmental Choice Pro- gram. Today, more than 500 products from 130 companies carry the Ecologo. Environmental Choice was created by Environment Canada to help Canadians choose products that are less harmful to the environment. The first step in designating such products is to establish certification criteria based an reducing undesirable environmental consequences. These criteria are developed by the Environmental Choices Board, an impartial body that operates at arm's length from the government. Products that meet the cifteria are eligible to be licensed to use the EcoLogo on their packaging and in thew advertis- ing. So far. certification criteria have been set for 18 dif- ferent types of products. These products include fine paper derived from recycled paper. composters. products developed from recycled plastic. water -conserving pro- ducts, and energy-efficient lights. Also, products that are made in a way that reduces hazardous by-products or that can be re -used are considered good environmental chmces. The list continues to grow. This fall, Environmental Choice launched its first na- tionai consumer awareness campaign. Its goal is to help Canadians more easily identify the EcoLogo and the pro- ducts that are truly less harmful to the environment. Television and print advertisements are now running on the CBC network and in MacLean's magazine. Any manufacturer, retailer. or importer who believes their product would qualify for environmental certificatioin am invited to apply for the EcoLAW. If their product measures up to the Environmental Choice criteria, they Will be I icensed to use the EcoLogo on their packaging and in their marketing efforts. As public awareness of the EcoLogo grows. it wW be an increasingly usefW guide to I I amers who want to make environmentally sermitive purch'ases.
