were levelled at his department Three appeared In front of council voicing their objections to the policy of dispensing birth control devises to people years of age or under This policy Is In accordance with Ministry of Health ons adopted In One opponent of this policy Shirley Pennell of Burlington appeared with her husband to tell councillors that she believed regional public health nurses were acting In an unlawful manner You have no Idea of the extent of this especially In the northern part of the region she stated Pressed by councillor Joan Utile Mrs Pennell admitted hers was a second hand knowledge and she had no documentation to prove her accusations She also stated she had not contacted Cole either about the policy In the region or the accusations Council also received a letter from a Milton resident who stated that a public health nurse was dispensing birth control pills with no questions asked with ap parently no pap smear no physical nation given no pelvic examinations given etc As the person who wrote the letter did not attend the meeting council had no oppor tunity to ask the writer questions But Cole said if the writer could not document the allegations about unlawful practices he would take the matter to the regional solicitor These arc extremely serious accus ations stated Cole No Individual has the right to make claims that can impute the staff of this department reputation In an interview with this newspaper Dr Cole stated he was frustrated that the allegations were done In such a malicious Way It sounds like a total fabrication to me the Medical Officer of Health who said he had checked into the allegations and as for as he knew nothing was wrong This was done in a very funny way It done by general Innuendo In an indirect way The most frustrating part was the criticism was done without speaking to roe or without going to see the clinics but most frustrating was that they did not take the time to read my report said Cole That Just uniformed criticism Seventeen year old Audrey Steenhof told 1 that she believed the health depart ment acted objectionably when they gave a presentation to her grade health class at Milton District High School Perhaps the most objectionable part was the Halton Health Units film Taking Chances in which sex was portrayed as the norm for kids our age said Steenhof adding after the presentation her class mates began sexual relations They hinted that they would not snitch to our parents added Steenhof Asked if she knew birth control devices were being dispensed without a prescription by a doctor Steenhof said she only knew they went to tbe clinic and got pills Both Vanderboom who represented Real Women of Canada and Shirley and Don said they objected to their tax dollars being spent on a policy which they believed undermlnded parents rights We don want to be undermined by civil servants who are being paid by our tax dollars claimed Vanderboom adding that ifthepoliCYUaUowedtocorrflnue there will bean influx of young girls to the clinics to get pills Councillor Pat McLaughlin of Burlington reminded Vanderboom that the policy has been in the region for years and no massive exodus to clinics has been noted OamuaMeton Page Ml
