eggs Coloring and decorating eggs for Easter has long been a tradition in many countries all over the world Monica Beaumont a food and nutrition specialist with the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food rural organizations and vice branch Below are many decoration suggestions that both children and adults will enjoy Before you start to decorate you must prepare the eggs either by hard cooking or removing the shell contents To hard cook eggs place eggs in a saucepan add salt and enough cold water to cover eggs Cover and bring rapidly to a boil Reduce heat and let eggs stand in hot water for to 20 minutes Cool mediately under cold running water to prevent dark rings around yolk If you wish to save the decorated eggs blown eggs are the best First wash and dry the eggs Using a clean darning needle pierce both ends of the egg slightly enlarge the hole at one end Push needle Into egg to break the yolk Hold the egg over a bowl and blow into the small hold Rinse shell out well with water and allow to air dry Use the raw egg within one to two days or freeze it To freeze add salt sugar or syrup depending on the future use Place in a freezer container leaving a small space To color the eggs try using a felt pen food coloring fabric dye enamel or poster paint If intend to eat the hard eggs make sure you use a nontoxic vegetable dye because the egg shell Is porous A fun and easy decorating idea Is decoupage eggs small pictures dried flowers or stickers on plain or colored eggs When dry coat with spray varnish decoupage coating or white glue which will dry clear Do not use brush on varnish because this may discolor the pictures Children will love making animal eggs Using scrap pieces of colored paper fabric and some imagination they can make a whole collection of animals For example rabbits can be made by adding paper ears and a cotton ball tail to the egg Dont forget to make a personalized egg which you con use for the egg hunt and then use as place cards for the dinner table To make personalized eggs write the name of the person on the egg with a crayon or wax pencil Dip the egg In the dye all but the name will Decolored For the egg hunt hide the personalized eggs around the house and have each person find his or her own egg The reward A basket of Easter treats Decorated eggs also make beautiful centrepieces for the table To make a centrepiece pile the eggs on a base of green straw Also decorated eggs can be used as garnishing around the Easter ham After Easter is over use leftover hard cooked eggs in salads and casseroles make devilled eggs or use them as

enrolments have not been adversely by the switch to more compulsory subjects for students entering nigh school next fall But enrolments In technical and family studies are drastically down With the adoption of the Ontario Schools Intermediate and Senior OS1S report Haltons director of education Beevor said offlcals initially feared Uvea such as art and music would suffer But a survey of Grade a students entering Grade next fall shows enrolment in art is up by IB per cent and music climbed per cent over the previous year On the other side of the coin enrolment in family studies Is down per cent while technical studies are down 32 per cent from the previous year Although it is too early to determine the eventual ramifications of this shift fears it could lead to the loss of family and technical studies If students dont return and pick up these courses after Grade He doesnt know whether the pattern will hold over subsequent years but there may be resistance on the part of Grade to go back and take a course with Grade However this reluctance may not prove to be a factor and if it is may not hold past Grade 10 Also tailing off in popularity for Grade in 1B84 are the compulsory subjects of business with a 13 per cent drop and history at per cent A huge per cent increase has been noted in French now a compulsory subject under the OSIS report Physical education also now compulsory shows a a per cent increase in popularity with this years crop of Grade tn schools Enrolment in geography appears to be up four per cent enrolments in English mathematics and science all compulsory before are essentially unchanged If the trend proves durable it could lead to empty shops said sixes is technical classes are already small and the resources to run shops so high thai a loss in students could make the costs prohibitive The result said would be a nar rowing of the focus of secondary schools In a sense it would be returning them to the elitist academic education of the past The result would be the loss of the type of students which the educational system re tained with the introduction of technical Some people said need these courses to get credits These students who take the technical courses are the mainstay of the community colleges A shift away from technical studies at the high schools could mean that community colleges begin soliciting Grade 13 graduates rejected by universities he said Those who had taken technical courses will be getting no post secondary education If they even finish high school and they are the people for which the community colleges were set Although he Is concerned about the loss of enrolment in business technical and home studies Beevor is buoyed by the increased enrolment tor art and music both optional and for the
