If you're like me, baseball fever has a tight grip on the daily'existence. Don't worry about the mortgage payment, inflated prices, the wife's birthday or any other of the mundane and insignificant facts of daily life. But what about LesExpos,eh?

But now government funding for her work has run out and Kathy can ooly hope that some of the work she has started will be carried on. The "band aid approach!' being taken by government in dealing with such a, big problem is 'very • frustrating, she s There are enough child abuse cases and high risk families in the county to warrant a worker such as herself, she feels. Kathy was hired last October with a staff supplementation grant from the provinical government. A block of funding carne from the government for different FACS projects out of the ,Garber Task Force which was set up after the Popen case in Sarnia. Infant. Kim Ann Popen • was b*aton, neglected uudlina|ly killed by her mother. The 'otuff sup- plementation grant received by Huron _County's FACS was originally for eight months but an extension of four months was received. During the first month of her job, Kathy, who has a masters degree in social work from Wilfrid Laurier University, learned as much as she 'could about child abuse uud talking to people. For her own enpoaure, she also did some couns11ing. With an in- terdisciplinary ouoF mittee on child abuse operating out of the Huron Ceutco. for Children and Youth and acting as her advisory ChintndDtee,- five •poblic seminars or general public awareness programs were con- ducted, on child abuse. Out of this, two parenting discussion groups were formed. The Public Health Department runs a number of parenting education groups too, says Kath Kathy also spoke .to an average of three .groups per week on Child abuse. These groups ranged from Sunday school and Women's Institute groups to teacher,' police and parent groups. She told these groups that child abuse was not a new problem or one which was simply being focused on because of the International Year of the Child. She underlined potential causes for child abuse; told people how to identify it; and when and where to report it. She spoke bn the role Of Family and Children's 8ervlcey, emphasizing that agency's need for public co-operation in reporting suspected cases of abuse. Kathy also showed yi|ma, spoke on issues of pareothng, children's rights, d changes in the Child Welfare Act, Another aspect of her work .iovo|ved professional develop- ment. Over the summer she put information 'turn to page 2A ° Please help me out. I've got two daughters and I'd likto give them opportunity to be different than any other woman in the world. It's not going to be easy but I figure I owe it to them and to the guys that eventually What I'd like to do is teach thern'how t� get ready to go out without spending the customary .hour, or two, or three, getting ready. I'm really at a loss over where and when I should start. I think I may have already missed the boat. The place to start may have been when they were toilet trained. Instead of giving them the idea the bathroom was one of man's greatest invention l should have passed off the importance of the roomtelling them toilets were just one step ahead of fiiling their pants. ' aot the toilet is not the culprit in this situation the mirror is: When a woman is' getting ready to face the world she - may u the toilet lid to store the myriad of paioto, tnmeznrs, brushes nd liquids vital to her The mirror is the key. It must be large (anything less than four times the size of the worhan's face Will simply not do) and it must be accessible (the woman must be able to lean up to the mirror so that her reflection is inches from the real thing). Women and mirrors is something I will never understand. To a woman a mirror is both a bounty and a curse. She can't do without it and yet when she looks af it she is unhappy. Isn't it women that say they use the mirror for hours because if they go out with the face they were born with they'll look like a hag. ybu don't believe me try a -little exercise. The next time your wife or girlfriend complains that she's the ugliest thing on earth play the game. After she tells you she has beady little eyes, a nose like a Holstein, hair like a wire brush and the colour of a sheet tell her that's not true. Tell her she's hovel/ She'll actually argue the point to convince you she really is ugly. Give into her aftr a bit and agree. When you get up off the floor tell her you're finished in the bathroom and ask herto hurry. She'll probably tell you she can:t hurry pointing out it takes time to turn a face like hers into something peoole can. stand to look at. And She's right. It fakes time. _The actual hours the woman takes depends entirely on what she feels she has to do to herself. If she says I'm ready all I have to do is throw on a little makeup and fix my hair don't be afraid to turn on the television. If you get interested in a program that's 'hour long you probably will not only get to watch it all but may even have time to wash the car. If she sighs uS she goes in the bathroom dnimniogube has to do a job on herself a movie may be in order. And don't, no matter how impatient you get, venture into the bathroom to speed things up. Quietly pointiout that the woman has been in front of the mirror for just over an hour will probably cause further delays. The woman will cu,t|y, and usually im- politely, ask if you want a date with a hag adding that she simply can't be rushed. Any' experienced man will end the conversation. It's a fact of life that an hour in the can is not a long time. And to ask that the beast turn herself into a be&uty in 45 min'uteo or less is to ask if she can vacate the mirror for five minutes while you shave. To a woman getting ready to go out a man takes less of a risk when he runs his razor over his jugu-lar veiri without the use mirror than she does putiing unmnd"rurmd9odoruntwithout a mirror. . -_- jerr- seddan /4- 4imaerigioniiima7ariemmuoraimeasemmowiewitiminewiamesimamiiiitiamer 1
