Free Trade Hearings
Premier David Peterson and the
government of Ontario continue to
oppose the proposed free trade agree-
ment on a number of fronts.
The government is currently re-
viewing all of the relevant legisla-
tion to determine precisely what le-
gal powers we have that could be
used to fight the deal.
My colleague, Labour Minister
Greg Sorbara released a study last
week which showed that about
100,000 Ontario women in the
manufacturing sector could lose
their jobs under a free trade deal
with the U.S. The government is
also studying the implications of
the deal on other sectors of the
economy.
In addition, the cabinet subcom-
mittee on free trade is continuing its
hearings. As a member of that com-
mittee, 1 have already travelled to
Sudbury, Ottawa and St. Catharines
to hear the views of various groups
on the free trade agreement.
The hearings attracted a standing -
room only crowd of very concerned
cn s • oiii, »
Opposing free trade
citizens in St., Catharines last
week. We heard serious concerns
from representatives of fruit and
grape growers as well as the winer-
ies.
Looking around the hearing room
at the faces of hundreds of growers
who would be adversely affected by
the deal once again reinforced my
belief that overall, the free trade deal
is bad for Ontario agriculture.
In addition to the cabinet subcom-
minee hearings, I" have also been
meeting with representatives of On-
tario producers and processors, dis-
cussing their views on the free trade
agreement.
Ministry kicks off Centen-
nial
Step into the Time Dome at the
Royal Agricultural Winter Fair and
experience a trip through 100 years
of Ontario agriculture.
Visitors entering the Time Dome
will be seated on a giant turntable
that will transport them back in
time to see and hear how Ontario
agriculture has met the challenges
and changes of the past 100 years.
Actors depicting food producers of
the 1880s, the 1930s and today, aid-
ed by lively music, will chronicle
agriculture's achievements in the
past century. Their words are based
on actual diaries of the time.
The 11 -minute performance will
run three times an hour between
10:30 a.m. and 3 p.m. and between
4 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. during the 12
days of the exhibition. The OMAF
Time Dome is located in the West
Annex of the Coliseum.
This special exhibit during The
Royal is a fitting launch for our
ministry's anniversary celebration.
The formation of a separate mini-
stry for agriculture was a benchmark
in the history of the agri-food sector
of this province -- and one that I'm
proud to celebrate.
Special events and ministry pro-
jects to be held throughout 1988
will underline the achievements of
the agri-food sector during the past
100 years and highlight the eco-
nomic and social role the industry
continues to play in the province.

Why is it so important to pay at-
tention to what we feed our pre-
schoolers? Obviously, we want to
be sure they get all the nutrients and
energy they need for proper growth
and to sustain their high energy lev-
els. But just as important, we want
to instill in them good eating habits
they will carry with them through-
out the years. Teaching your child
good eating habits early will signif-
icantly decrease his chances of de-
veloping diseases such' as obesity,
cardiovascular disease, and some
forms of cancer, in adulthood.
Children are born without food
preferences; however, food habits
develop at an early age. The young-
cr the child, the more willing he
will be to try new foods, as a study
conducted in the United States re-
vealed. Seventy-seven percent of
children between one and two years
.of age will try new foods. This per-
centage drops to 10 percent in chil-
dren between two and four years of
age, and to seven percent in children
four years of age and older. A child
who is taught to eat a variety of
foods at a very young age will con-
tinue to derive much pleasure in di-
versifying his diet for the rest of his
life.
A child learns, though, not only
from experience, but also from ex-
ample. The eating habits of parents
have a tremendous influence on the
child's eating behaviour. A father
who consistently refuses to cat
broccoli, liver, and fish will have a
hard time convincing his child to
eat these foods. Can a mother who
skips breakfast reprimand her chil-
dren for wanting to do the same?
The formation of a child's eating
habits begin at home, from birth to
about six years of age. From then
on outside influences such as school
and friends play a more dominant
role. A child who is accustomedto
eating good food will be less in-
clined to adopt habits that will be
bad for his health. A child who has
never learned proper eating habits
will be easily attracted to coffee and
doughnuts for breakfast, french fries
and soft drinks for lunch, and a
hamburger and chocolate milk for
dinner.
Evaluate your child's eating habits
by completing the following ques-
tionnaire:
1. He eats breakfast every morn-
ing. (Yes No)
2. He snacks on whatever is avail-
able throughout the morning instead
of eating breakfast. (Yes No)
3. He consumes milk or a milk
product (e.g. yoghurt, cheese) at
every meal. (Yes No)
Students bake Willy Wonka brownies
Ms. Thomson has been reading,
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,
by Roald Dahl to room six. Six
students were selected to bake
brownies the Willy Wonka way.
Thc bakers were Danny Gielnik,
Jeff Armstrong, Shawn McCurdy,
Billy Connor, Brandon Palmer and
Craig Cook. They used Ms. Thom -
son's mother's recipe.
The bakers worked in pairs. One
pair put walnuts in their brownies.
Another pair used chipits and the
third pair used chipits and walnuts.
It took about half an hour to pre-
pare the brownics. The brownies
baked for 25 minutes. Jeff and Bill
dried the dishes. Danny, Shawn,
Craig and Brandon cleaned off the
table.
Later, thc bakers shared the
brownies with the rest of the class.
All students got one oreach. They
had to participate in a taste test.
The favourite type of brownie was
the one with the chocolate chipits.
The least favourite kind was the one
with the walnuts. The bakers
thought the brownies were scrump-
tious. They arc thinking of going
into business for themselves. Any-
one who would like the recipe, con-
tact any of the above bakers.

Room eight
Room eight celebrated October
Days by doing a special folder. We
wrote some stories about scare-
crows, special events and even our
own recipes for witches' stew, jack -
o -lanterns, and other spooky things.
In the Pumpkin Patch we found
tasks like these: How to make a
skeleton, a spider or a ghost, Name
that Cat, Party planning for a Mon-
ster Mash, crosswords, puzzles, and
riddles.
For the best door contest we put
up Pumpkin Patch Kids. Melissa
made a King's hcad on her paper
plate. Derck had a pct monster to
put up. Jeff made a little brown,
scary gorilla. We won a blue ribbon
for second prize.
On November 2 we had a class
discussion about the special events
in the month ahead. We suggested
some ideas for the new calendar. We
decided on a mitten shape for the

66 up in arms
The Grand Bend Bee's nest stirred
up by Barry Robinson last week has
yet to settle.
Grand Bend council discussed their
options in thc case concerning the
delinquent house -mover Monday
night and decided to pursue an im-
mediate court injunction ordering
Robinson off the Gill Road lot,
providing that the measure does not
exceed $3,000.
Council was informed by Clerk
Dianne Mollard that regular court
proceedings could drag the issue on
until May or June. If the house sits
where it is at the present timo until
the spring, it will likely be con-
demned and the village will have to
clean up the mess.
Deputy reeve Dennis Snider said
his main concern was to insure arca
neighbours that the house will not
stay where it is.
"The main thing the neighbours
want to know is if the place is go-
ing to be fixed up and look alright,"
Snider said.
If council manages to get the in:
junction, Robinson will be fined for
every day the house sits on the lot.
Robinson broke village by-laws
by failing to get a mover's permit
and a relocation permit. He had
originally approached council on the
matter in late September. At that
timc, council asked him to post a
bond before moving the house,
which Robinson assured them
would be on its foundations by the
end of October.
Robinson refused to post a bond
and the matter was left hanging un-
til the following week when council
decided the house could be moved if
certain conditions were met. Those
conditions included Robinson's ac-
quisition of a foundation permit, a
surveyor's certificate and the other
two permits already mentioned.
November 5, without any of the
required permits, he moved a house
from its original lot near Grand
Bend Plymouth Chrysler to the Gill
street lot.
Robinson has since moved two
other structures without permits of
any kind, infuriating the village
council.

Nursery Notes
A Pen Friend From the U.S.A. -
Stephen Central's grade 6 class re-
ceived a letter from a boy named
Tyler Fisher who lives in Ncbraska.
Tyler has written to us because he
is studying our country, Canada.
Tyler will be exchanging informa-
tion with us. He lives in midwest-
ern Nebraska, where the principal
industry is farming. - Tammy Dur-
ward.
Hallowe'en - On Friday afternoon
Stephen Central had a costume pa-
rade and the grade 6, 7, 8 had a
dance. The other grades had a peanut
scramble. We also had orange drink
and apples on a string. There were
prizes for best costumes. The prizes
were coupons for sneaky snacks.
Most classes had a party and some
students brought treats. At home
time everyone had lots of treats. -
Elizabeth Russell.
V.I.P. - Every Thursday at the
first period the grade 6 class of Ste-
phen Central have V.I.P. Constable
John Marshall comes to talk to us
about drugs, peer pressure and van-
dalism. Constable Marshall brought
a film called the Greenhouse. A boy
comes and breaks several windows
in the greenhouse. The man caught
the boy and he had to pay for the
damages by working in the green-
house. One day the boy came and
the windows were smashed. Thc
boy felt sad and he helped clean up.
Constable Marshall also brought
some drugs for us to sec. V.I.P.
only lasts until December. V.I.P.
teaches us good things for when we
get older. - Jeremy Becker.
