ronfo Weekly Times, Wednesday, jufe 12,1991-13 ReceSSiofl brings much stress to f amilles, researchers fiînd On Tuesday, June 4th, St. Stephen's Elementary ScIsool in Bowmanville presented a "Star Burst", a talent show put on by the students. It was a nice showcase of various talents including singing, dancing, and piano playing. The evening ended with special guest, Eric Lambier, a blind mu>ician, playing a few classical tunes on thse piano. % IL was a great way to end thse talent filled evenmng. Special guest Erie Lamibier, shown above, was presented with a gift of appreciation after his performance on the piano at the talent show. by Vicki Gaudreault By Paige Debergo Almost two-thirds of people left unemiployed by a recession maintain or increase their consuimption of alcobol, and mnany increase their use of other drugs aswel researchers at Ontarios Addiction Research Foundation have discovered. This is mnerely one restt thiat leadis the researchlers-to wamn that the emotional and psychological effects of uinemployment during a recession shouild flot, be underestimated. Judithi Groeneveld, co-author of the ARF report, says the survey of 205 aduilts was conducted to gauge patternis of alcobiol and drug use among the unemnployed. Not only did two-tbirds of the people surveyed maintain the same level or increase their level of alcohol consumptioni, but also for some an increased use of heroin, cocamne, LSD, tranquilizers and barbiturates became a mneans of relieving anxiety caused by economie recession, she adds. As a result of Che survey, Groeneveld and colleaguesý recomnmend th at professionaLs, employers and even society at large change their attitudes mnd practices to make life easier for those bit by recession and unemploym-ent. One reason a recession has such deleteiouIs effects on displaced workers is because "re-employmnent, for miany, is flot posible. Thie effect really depenus on tbe lengtb of unemployment and the resources the person bias," says Groeneveld. The average income of the survey participants fell by 60 per cent, and70 per cent said they bad trouble providing foodand accommodation, Goeneveld says. Nevertheless, many did flot decrease the amount of money spent on alcobol or drugs;, she adds. Altbough an analysis of family violence wasn't part of this survey, over 36 per cent of respondents indicated an increase in marital stress. Groeneveld says that from other research she has participated ini she "bas a sense that it did increase. And a lot of Amecrican studies are suggesting that family violence goes up during uinemloymenit". Even thougb the consequences of unemployment differ wben tbe unemployed person bas financial assets, the emotional and psycbological traumas are just as great for a person wbo lbas accumulated enougb assets to maintain a fairly good lirestyle, Groenieveld says. "You are saving tbrougb a whole lifetime and unemployrnent cuts into tbat. Had you flot been unemployed you wouldn't bave bad to seil your cottage or your motor boat or your house." says Groeneveld. "Just because somnebody's using up assets doesn't mnean tbere is no consequence. It's a very bard burden to carry and 1 think we bave to bave support for those people wbo, tbrougb no fault of their own, lost their job and are not able to get another one." 'be report's recomimendations include increasing awareness ad a change in social attitude to unemnployment, as well as a change in tbe attitude of professionals wb work with the unemployed. Because we know economnic and business cycles change, businemsses and policy makers sbould plan for economic strain so0 tbat it causes as little dainage as possible to displaced wvorkern, Groenieveld suggests. "We cannot bMarne the unemnployed for flot baving a job wben we baven't got jobs for tbem. And we as professionals bave to carry tb ai m-essagýe, shesays. (Ca'radian Science News) Miraculous Meringue, Marvellous Dessert The simplest tbings go into a Pavlova ... egg white, sugar and sait plus a ittie acid from cream of tartar or lemon juice. The miracle ingredient is the remark- able egg white. To ensure success in making a meringue, both the bowl and beaters must be squeaky clean. The tiniest trace of anything fatty -- egg yolk included -- prevents the whites fromn reacbing their maximum volume. And, by the way, meringues work best when made on dry (not humid or rainy) days, and with the wbites at room temperature. Deluxe Strawberry Pavlova 4 eggs, separated 1 tsp (5 mL) vanilla 1/4 tsp (1mL) creamof tartar 1/4 tsp (1mL) salt i11/3 cup (325 mi) sugar, divided 1/3 cup (7 5 mi) lemon juice 1 cup (250 mi) whipping cream 4 cups (1L) sliced strawberries Line cookie sheet with foil. Draw a 9-inch (23 cm) circle. In large glass or metal bowl, beat egg wbites, vanilla, cream of tartar and sait at high speed until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in 1 cup (250 mL) sugar, 2 Tbsp (25 mi) at a time, beating wel after each addition; continue beating until stiff, glossy peaks form. Spoon onto prepared cookie sheet, shaping it within the circle andmounding bigher around the edge. Bake in a250 F(120 C) oven for 1 114 toi 112 hours until crisp on the outsîde and fir» to the touch.
