By appreciating the need to openly discuss the issue, the Waterloo Region Separate School Board is selt1essly contributing to a solution, and any sacrifices made will be worth it in the long But in commendable, if somewhat reluctant fashion, the board has recognized that the overall good derived from medical and moral awareness overrides whole- sale allegiance to church philosophy. It does not attempt to go against Catholic beliefs, merely states an understanding that there will be people both inside and outside its faith who will need proper guidance in the matter. Further, it indicates, at least at the local level, that the Catholic church can maintain its ideals while allowing that the problems of the world do not always fit_co_mfortably into its framework. Our congratulations to the board for rationalizing an ackward and difficult decision. - Lending support to this noble endeavor could not have been an easy decision for the RC board; by its very nature, AIDS discussion variously focuses on sexual mores and practices incongruous to Catholic doctrine. The use of condoms as birth control and/or preventative protection from AIDS, the idea of sex outside of marriage, casual and indiscriminate sexual behavior and other like subjects all directly or indirectly go against the grain of Catholic teaching. The Waterloo Region Separate School Board de- serves credit for releasing a position paper guideline on AIDS, allowing teachers to discuss the disease in expanded and explicit terms. Our society is far behind British counterparts in generating public awareness of the hazards of AIDS and related sexually-transmitted diseases. But we are about to be inundated with public health, media and educational awareness promotions in an attempt to halt the spread of such conditions. The catch-up campaign, long overdue thanks to a predictable reluctance in North America to address morally and ethically sensitive issues, is nevertheless a giant first sltlep in helping control, if not eliminate, the scourge of t e 80s.

Gerry lance E Barb Seeley Do you detect a touch of envy, perhaps even jealousy, in my voice, when I look down the list of winter destinations for fellow staffers? Places like Barbados, Venezuela. Fhrrida, Venezuela again, Myrtle Beach? Good. I am envious, I am lesions. and why shouldn't I be? While I am boosting batteries, they're paddling up to a floating bar.

As is the case with most newspaper offices. ours is divided into two distinct camps. However, in contrast to other papers where advertising types and news staff are at each other's throats for daily amusement. our dividing line falls between those who have/will have tans on one side, and us poor pale skins on the other. Do you realize what you did/now/will miss if you do not take the time to winter holiday in Ontario? Incredible. Ministry folks point out that we have a choice of any number of winter carnivals with contests, costumes and capers (is that a fish?) from a century past--including dog teams right out of a Jack London (I prefer Jack Daniels) thriller. For the more adventuresome. there are balloon ascents, snowmobile races on Ontario's frozen (if they weren't last week, they sure are now) lakes, and big city fun at theatres, concerts and special attractions. Yes, I am well aware that it was -24 C the other morning. This is Ontario, old-fashioned style, where the air in your tires turns to ice cubes, where you spend more quality time with your tow-truck operator than with your family, where you have to blow dry the paper box to get your morning news, and where you pour your first cup of coffee at the office over your hands to thaw them out. Yes. Is there anywhere else you’d rather be? Off the top of my head, I can think of a few places, which is why I got a good chuckle the other day reading a Ministry of Tourism and Recreation ad hyping the merits of a home-grown winter holiday during spring break. Further to that, the ministry's Winter Events brochure says the choices during Wintertime Ontario are quite in- credible. It is written "We've milked the cow too often. The novelty has worn off for NHL players." Former Philadelphia Ftyer Gary We: on International hockey mum. - SEE PAGE M. Chronicle Editor Nice place Rick Campbell Pity me. It is 44 C, and insanity is seizing calm-o] of my pale, f1aking body. Winter, holiday and inn. three words that just don't mix when we speak of 1httarrart-ario. But I'm having just I super time trying to figure 'natttoqrtomeltttseairinmytires. And then I think of the Ministry of Tourism and Recreation, and their no doubt earnest attempts to illustrate the appeal of a winter vacation right here in Ontario, and, if they really believe the stuff they tell us. shouldn’t we believe it too? But right this moment, three hours into my workday. as sensation finally comes to my thumbs and fingers, " I look at the bill for my car's new battery, " I discover yet another patch of flaky, pale skin, I wonder why I have never taken a winter holidarsouth, and if I did, whether I could get by on No, a sunscreen. Oh sure, we cut up the postcards they send back to us into a million pieces. We make fun of their peeling skin (ooooooooooo, gross or what?). We point out that there are over 40 weeks left in the year and their holidays are mostly ancient history. We scoff when they say they can preserve their deep, dark color until May. We tell them a chinook blew in from Calgary and while they were away we went skiing in 64 real degrees and drank beer in our shirtsleeves at Chicopee. And of course, when they complain about lousy increases come salary review time, then I will ask to see their vacation pictures. We display little open animosity towards these bronzed bozos who snub a chance to Ontario-im their winter holidays, who toss a pass at the opportunity to dog-sled with the best of them, to sit in an hut in the middle of a lake wondering if all life isn't just one big ice cube tray. Who, at the first thought of 80 real degrees and warm breezes, scurry to the travel agency. virtually ignoring the fact a similar euphoria can be obtained sitting in the stands during a sno-pitch tournament right in this city, the potential for frostbite negated by the heat of the on-tield action. Then, after their holiday, they come back to the office 48 shades darker than the healthiest-looking stay-at-home, roll their sleeves up to work (I plan to make sure they continue the practice when their tan fades), pass around snapshots of sizzling hotspots, nightly discos, panoramic sunsets, miles of sand and surf. And they even suffer through tales of woe from those of us who spent our leisure time ice fishing, catching sweet nothing but a sore throat and constant hack, looking ghostly as ever. morning diversion, whether to wear the tank top or fishnet tttrow-on to the beach.
