6 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, January 14,1987 Section Two Statesman Challenges Smokers to Kick Habit Ha y don and District Happenings by Tammy Hill Did you make a New Year's resolution to quit smoking? If so, The Canadian Canadian Statesman challenges you to keep your word. Anyone who has decided to "butt out" as of January 1,1987, is invited to visit the Statesman office at 62 King Street West and leave his or her. name. On Wednesday, January 21, (Weedless Wednesday) the names of all those who have given up cigarettes for good will be published in the Statesman. Drop by. We dare you! The challenge has been organized in conjunction with the annual National Non-Smoking Week, which will be getting underway on Thursday, January 15,1987 and will conclude on Wednesday, January 21, otherwise known as Weedless Weedless Wednesday. Throughout the Durham Region there are several events planned for the week. Carol Hewitt, of the Regional Municipality of Durham's Department of Health Services, said: "We have more plans this year than last year." The driving force behind the campaign is to make people aware of the hazards of smoking and attempt to help them kick the habit. Throughout the week a mall display will be set up inside the Oshawa Centre and organizers are hoping to have ' a respirator machine on site also. The well known 12-year-old mannequin, Smoking Sam, is scheduled to make an appearance appearance at the mall as well. But there is a slight problem. problem. Sue Seto of the InterA- gency Council on Smoking and Health, Durham Region, Region, said she is having difficulty difficulty replacing the Smoking Sam operator. The previous volunteer and prospective new operators are all reluctant reluctant to work the machine since it gives off 20 per cent second-hand smoke. In addition, all libraries in the Durham Region will have a non-smoking display and the Newcastle Fitness Cëntre and the Darlington Sports Centre will both be involved in the campaign. Public awareness is being sought through buttons, posters, literature and seminars. Buttons printed through the Canadian Cancer Society Society and the National Health and Welfare Department wijl be available during the week bearing slogans such as: "A Broken Cigarette is a Little Freedom" and "Smoking Stinks." In addition, many of the local health agencies are asking merchants to display posters, signs or banners in the downtown area. A smoking cessation course is being held at the Oshawa General Hospital throughout non-smoking week. The course will be held for five consecutive evenings. Others involved in the campaign are Cable Television, Television, which will be showing a movie titled "Smoking Against Your Will," and Clarke High School will be holding a one day lifestyle program based on the topic of smoking. And for babies born on Weedless Wednesday, the InterAgency Council will provide a new T-shirt. The lettering reads: "First Generation Generation of Non-Smokers." Carol Hewitt says she is hoping to see people become become more aware of the non-smoking by-laws and predicts that public and peer pressure will control smoking in the future. The final boost for smoking smoking awareness activities will be when local restaurants restaurants which have willingly established a designated non-smoking area will be presented with a certificate for their support. The National Non-Smoking Non-Smoking Week and other programs programs take a lot of planning and hours. If anyone is interested interested in giving some of their time, Sue Seto of InterAgency InterAgency Council on Smoking and Health Durham Region (a nonprofit nonprofit organization) said they are always in need of volunteers to staff booths and discuss new ideas. AGRICULTURAL NEWS BY: JoelBagg, Farm Management Specialist ONTARIO GRAIN ATABILIZATION PAYOUT ANNOUNCED FOR CORN SOYBEANS AND BARLEY: Ontario corn, soybean and barley growers enrolled in the grain stabilization plan will receive $20.1 million for the 1985- 86 stabilization year through the Farm Income Stabilization Commission. The total Ontario corn payment is $4.64 per tonne, enrolled soybean producers will receive $9.70 per tonne, and the barley payment is set at $4.57 per tonne. An interim payment was received earlier this year. There is no payment for winter wheat because its market price of $142.82 per tonne exceeded the support price of $129.58. Stabilization payments are made when the past year's market price of grain in the plan falls below the support price. The support price is calculated by using 95 per cent of the previos five-year average market price, with adjustments made for cash costs. The stabilization account is funded one-third by the grower and two-thirds by the Ontario Government. For growers registered in the 1985 crop year and eligible for a stabilization payment, their one-third portion will be applied to the premium for the 1986- 87 plan. The Farm Income Stabilization Commission also agreed that because of adverse harvest conditions, applications for the 1986 Grain Stabilization Plan will be accepted -until January 31, 1987. SPECIAL CANADIAN GRAINS PROGRAM: Under the Special Canadian Grains Program, Canada's grain and oilseed farmers will receive cash payments from the federal government, to cushion the impact of the subsidy war between the European Economic Community and the United States. A total of $300 million will be paid to producers this winter and an additional $700 million in the spring. Crops covered by the program are wheat, barley, oats, rye, mixed grains, corn, soybeans, canola, flax and sunflower seeds. Silage is excluded. Under the program, payments will be calculated on the basis of farmers' Kitchen, McCallum & Porter CERTIFIED GENERAL ACCOUNTANTS JOHN G. MANUEL. CGA DONALD K. KITCHEN, CGA.

Translation: I'm apologizing because I'm afraid that my criticism might hurt your feelings and you'll retaliate, so I'd better apologize in advance. "I'm sorry to have to disagree with you." Translation: I'm uncertain about the risk to me of disagreeing with you, so I'd better protect myself by apologizing. "I'm sorry, but the number you've dialed is not in service." "I'm sorry," says the recorded voice, "but I'm not able to take your call at the moment." , Apparently, it's possible to apologize on tape to an ùnknown person for something done deliberately, every day. Perhaps that has something to do with the resentment many people feel when they phone to talk to someone and get a recorded message instead. But these are common conventions. We seldom question them. Another mechanical kind of apology is the kind that some parents force their children to say. Our belief is that the children will thereby acquire the habit of apologizing when they're in the wrong; Many do. Others may learn to resent having to mouth words they don't mean. "Pm sorry to call you at home," may mean, I know you don't want calls at home but I'm ignoring that. I'm saying "Sorry" because it's expected and because it gives me permission to go ahead and interrupt you anyway ; Some people apologize for virtually everything, even for living. "I have nothing definite to apologize for. I'm just sorry about everything." "I'm sorry for apologizing." Walking along a city street once, I noticed a man walking in the opposite direction stub his foot on a raised part of the walk. He glanced at me'as we passed severâl feet apart and muttered the word, "Sorry." Shopworn apologies abound. "I'm sorry for not phoning you sooner." "I'm sorry, but he/she isn't in at the moment"' Even expressing regret, another form of apology, may convey little of no feeling. "I'm sorry you failed/didn't get the job, the raise, the scholarship." Apologies are easy ways of getting off the hook and avoiding responsibility. Say the words and forget it. "I said I'm sorry. What more do you want?" "What can I do after I've said I'm sorry?" Someone who insists on a sincere apology may be accused jof laying on a guilt trip. Sometimes, even offering an apology may open the door to abusé. "It's about time you apologized. Do you have any idea how much trouble you've caused me? You so and so." No forgiveness there. Besides, to be forgiven, you might have to go beyond apology and promise not to do it again. . -ra Apologies have fallen into' misuse and abuse. They'rej part of our primitive,? ceremonial talk. So much so, that the more one tries to make an apology sincere, the more phony it sounds. Using apologies less, might raise their value.
