Lan Brown, former chair-
man of the Durham Board

Annual Report to the
board. 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

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;

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.
The three - all grandmothers - had wn tten to Bean to pro-
test the threats. hairassment and intumdation which they
bad sufferied or witnessed %ben they crossed a pocket line in
ail deit to earn a lhing during PSAC"s . ecet strike.
Bean's letter began by calling the wonwn 'Scabs- and
then inicluded this quote from American author Jack bon -
don:
"No man has a right to scab as long as there is a pool of
water to drown his carcass tn. or a rope long enough to hang
his body with. -
(Landon was a militant leftist whose writings were
in the millions by Stalin's regime and were taught
in c in the Soviiit Bloc.)
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.
That is why we're asking you and your readers to please
take a stm on behalf at these victims of forced unionism
and demand a stop to this violence and intimidation.
If any of your readers witnessed this behaviour or
victims of it, we ask them to write to "Victims; of Forced
Unionisin". No.90r,. 100 Adelaide St. W., Toronto, M5H 1S3.

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

For example. many

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.

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-

Hot, mulled drinks m

have been a social expms-

Prior to the advent ofccn-
Atal heating the production
of such drinks was in itself
aceremony. A red-botpoker
was drawn from the fire and
plunged into a pewter or
earthenware mug of cool
wine to produce a luminous
"glowing- drink. Although
less spectacular, today*s
stove top method is more
practical and certainly safer
when entertaining guests -
In addition to the prepa-
ration technique, mulled or
warmed beverages have
changed with the times. To-
day, many hosts prefer to
offer non-alcoholic bever-
ages as a matter of course.
They know thatwarm, spicy
non-alcoholic beverages
can warm the heart and cm -
ate wonderful welcoming
aromas.
For a crowd, a large quan-
tity can simmer in a crock
pot or slow cooker. This is
practical when entertaining
guests over a period of time
such as an open house.
Leave some heatproof
mugs, a ladle and cinna-
mon stick stirrers next to
the pot and let guests help
themselves. Except for the
occasional refill, the sim-
mcringpotcanbe lcftvirtu-
ally unattended.
Tea is a perfect base for delicious, refreshing hot but non-aicoh,,a, "t. � Crages.
For a small number of
guests, make a batch ahead,
cool and refrigerate. When
needed, ladle into a
heatproof mug and warm in
the microwave.
No matterwhatend flavor
you wish to achieve, a good
base is essential to provide
"body- in satisfying hot
beverages. Tea is not only a
refreshing hot beverage on
its own but also makes a
good low calorie and inex-
pensive base. Tea blends
particularly well with fruit
juices such as apple, cran-
berry, orange, lemon and
pineapple.
Remember too, that a hot
cup of tea is a wonderful
pick-me-up, but with half
the caffeine of coffee it
won't keep you awake all
night. If someone asks for
"one for the road", put the
kettle on and nuke a hot
"cuppa"-
Making a g(x)d cup of tea
is easy. The Tea Council of
Canada recommends buy-
ing a g(x-A quality tea and
using fresh cold water each
time you make a new pot of
tea. While bringing water
to a full rolling boil, warm

Use one tea bag or two tea-

Over the years we have

of hunger, after all. is a
greater stimulus than the
assurance of honey in the

tha t without some
assistance, many works of

It's also true that the arts

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?

the Knockout title 2 con-

Closed Championship just

never won the
A.W.H.P.A.W.O. Open

the ISMI-IM chess season.
Last season, Uno placed

Nonetheless. Wesingi had
quite an advenituire in get-
ting to the top of this event
as previous reports will at-
test.
The final round pairings
produced some interesting
results. Wesuigi was paired
with underrated Ching -

Uno grew a little careless
and Id Chiu walk off with
Iie full point but in their se -
.,Ind and final game with

:,,iimself together for a full

West Hill's Ermanno
Mucignat (Claw A-1940
Rating); in the first game,
playing Black, Smith
played solidly and cap-
tured the full point but in
the second game, Mucignat
held Smth to a draw to
finish clear third in the
,tournament with 6.5-3.5.
Following with ry-4 scores
were C -F Chiu
(Willowdale-1582 Rating -
Class C) and Cezary
Posylek (Ajax -1797 Rating -
Class B). Posylek's result
showed a remarkable com-
eback for the Polish -born
player because he stood at
14 at the first half of the
tournament but scored 5-0
in the second half for the
best result in that portion of
the tournament. The

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.
