Wednesday, March 28, 1984 Terrace Ba Exploring Life Changes - "Women and Menopause" Separating the facts from the myths that sur- round menopause and aging, is the focus of a workshop entitled "Ex- ploring Life Changes", to be sponsored by. the N.W.O. Women's Health Education Pro- ject (W.H.E.P.) in 14 communities. Because mid-life is a time charactérized _by changes in roles and re- lationships, the 2% hour workshop involves the participants in differ- entiating between ac- tual physiological chan- ges that occur at this time, and the emotional upheaval that has been misconstrued to be a dreaded part of meno- pause. Surgical meno- pause and the contro- versial subject of Es trogen Replacement Therapy (ERT) will also be the focus of the workshop. 'Exploring Life Changes"' devotes time "to coming up with ways to deal with the concerns of women in small northern communities. Group information sharing sessions have been demonstrated to be one of the most effect- ive ways for women to come to understand more about the subjects of menopause and ag- ing. The workshop will promote a sharing of experience and know- ledge. The workshop will take place in Terrace Bay at the Terrace Bay Recreation Centre in the Multi-Purpose Room, on Wednesday, April 11th from 7:30 to 10:00 -m.

Ds i It certainly didn't appear to be spring last week, as the _snow fell, the winds blew and the snow plows made their way through town AGAIN! But it will secon disappear I Local Union under going raid As of March Ist, Local 665 of the United Paper- workers International Union, Terrace Bay, (U.P.I.U.). have been undergoing a raid by the U.A. (United Associa- tion of Journeymen and Apprentices). U.A. began their ground- work on the raid some- time in January after complaints were re- ceived by them from some local members of the U.P.I.U. It was sug- gested by these mem- bers that it was time for another union to attempt entry into the Kimberly Clark mill. : The raid was officially started on March 1, 1984 - within the legal 60 day limit of the present con- tract expiry. U.A. have until April 30th to apply for decertification and bargaining rights if they receive 45 per cent of all the votes of the Kimber- ly Clark employees. In order for a union take over, they must possess 50 per cent plus 1 votes from all members voti- ng. From there, the Labour Board of Ontario will decide on how to handle the takeover and it is based on their de- cision as to whether or not a new union will be in force. The U.P.1U. has a total of 7 locals in Canada with 2,600 mem- bers. In comparison the U.A. has 60 locals in Canada with 42,000 members. U.A. is an International Union, however it has it's own autonomy, with the Canadian Office' estab- lished in Winnipeg. All decisions affecting the Canadian membership are made through the Canadian office in co- operation with the Di- rector of Canadian Af- fairs. All General Offi- cers who handle Cana- dian affairs must be a Canadian citizen. Should the Pulp and Paper Mill employees" choose to amalgamate with U.A. Local 628 Thunder Bay, written and duly signed assur- ances must be estab- lished covering the hope. In the meantime however folks . . shovelling! ; terms of consolidation, giving the Pulp Mill members their. own autonomy in respect to handling their own af- fairs within the Mill. Local organizer for the U.A. Vern Patriquin has been in charge of hand- ling the questions and answers that numerous U.P.1.U. members have had concerning the raid and the U.A. itself. He has circulated informa- tion packages to all local members in hopes of that this will assure them of the U.A.'s in- tentions and also to re- assure them that their jobs will not be at stake as they have the full protection of the On- tario Labour Relations Act; Section 46 (2); which gives all such members guaranteed job security should they drop or lose their mem- bership in the U.P.1.U. Vern Patriquin on the other hand has had charges brought against him by three individual U.P.1.U. members for an alleged violation of . keep Article 11 Section 10 and Article 12 Section 1 (b) Subsection 1 and 3 of the International Constitu- tion. Legal assistance has been supplied for Mr. Patriquin by the U.A. Vern still upholds the right to call this a clean raid however, and will continue to keep it as such. Although he is involved in charges by the local union he guar- antees that complete confidentiality exists with all other members seeking infor- mation or those who have already signed U.A. membership cards. Such information is al- ways kept confidential for the purpose of elim- inating discriminatory practices. "We only want to provide the best for the people of Terrace Bay - their children and their grandchildren," said Vern. "I want to bring people out of their shell.
