2 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, January 31,1990 Section Two The first thing that one notices upon entering Interiors Interiors by Kathy B. is the quiet beauty of the establishment. There is no attempt at artificial artificial stiffness, no atmosphere of alienation. The inviting, cosily- grouped furniture, warm in the glow from pretty lamps and accented by the tasteful pictures on the wall informs one that this is what Kathy would have in her own home. That's the first thing that makes us feel welcome. The second is Kathy herself. Kathy is a delightfully feminine woman. From the fashionably short-cropped blonde hair to the tips of her black patent leather shoes, she is elegant and charming. Once esconced in her "recreation room", decorated in pale blues and pinks, we begin to discuss what makes Kathy run. A native of St. Catherines Catherines Ontario, Kathy took her training in interior de sign in Boiton, Massachusetts. Massachusetts. She has fond memories memories of that historical city - a restaurant named Ken's being being one of the most vivid. "Ken's served marvelous breakfasts all day," reminisces reminisces Kathy. "One of the highlights of our week was to go to Ken's for lunch. He had the most marvelous- kosher pickles. I just loved those pickles," she says, savouring savouring the memory. Kathy's first opportunity to display her talent was as a theme window designer for department stores. It was at this point in her life that she met her husband husband to be, Ed Bednareck and returned with him to Oshawa. "We bought a home in Oshawa first, then we moved into Bowmanville in 1975. We were the first family family in the subdivision to take ossession of our home on anstone Court. It was in PC Vi the spring and and so muddy muddy that I had to put garbage bags on my feet to get across the lawn to bring things in from my car," she remembers remembers with a laugh. The Bednareks lived in Bowmanville for three years, then returned to Oshawa to move into a larger larger home to accommodate their growing family, Ashley, Ashley, who is now seven and Holly who is a grown-up nine. "We really loved Bowmanville," Bowmanville," she says. Kathy began her practice as an interior designer in the area by working on a contract basis for industries, businesses and a few private homes. But, she found this type of impersonal work slightly unfulfilling. "I enjoyed enjoyed doing the decorating, but there was no continuance continuance to it. I would go in, discuss discuss their needs, decorate their offices and then leave.".

"Things just didn't quite work out the way I wanted them to, so I thought I really should leave. I enjoyed working for them, but I wanted something something else." The something else hapr pened when they next took a drive through Bowmanville in December of 1988 and saw that the house where she has located her business was for sale. "That is the perfect location location for you to start your own business," Ed told her. . They made an offer. It was accepted. And Kathy was in business for herself. Kathy opened her store in September of 1989 and has been gratified at the response response she has had. "I feel really good about it," she beams. It was slow at first, but there were so many people people coming in to look during the first month that have returned returned that it gives me a nice intimate feeling about the people in Bowmanville." This year, Kathy has found that business has improved improved rapidly, with many contracts tor private interior designing jobs coming her way. Now Kathy has the chance to provide . clients with her personal touch. To match the decor and furnishings furnishings with the lifestyles of her clients and glimpse first-hand how her work can enhance their lives over a period of time. "I go into a home first for a consultation to find out what the family needs in the way of furniture, accessories, and decorating changes to fit in with their lifestyles. I make suggestions and give them an idea of what they are going to be getting and then leave them to think it over," she says. Kathy has found that sometimes a great change in people's lives can be a shock. So she has had to develop her diplomatic skills while a large job is in progress. "I have found that most people are a little disoriented disoriented by the changes while they are being made. It is almost culture shock. That's why it is so important to ascertain what would suit the family. You are giving them some- • thing that they have to live with for years. And I have to stress, especially if a job is being done in stages; just what the entire job will look like to settle any nerves that might be upset during the decorating." Going on your own is a scary business according to Kathy, but she says that Ed has been her source of ."inner ."inner strength." "He has been my strength and courage," Kathy asserts. "Without nim, I never would have made it. He's made me feel that even if I closed the doors tomorrow, I would have had a success." Kathy needn't worry. Her innate good-taste sense will keep her in demand for as long as she wants to continue. continue. A browse through her store is comparable to visiting visiting a friend for a cup of coffee. coffee. When Kathy translates this warm, inviting and yet elegant aura to a client's home she is putting a bit of herself into their lives. And you can bet, they're most satisfied that she did. Speaker Talks About Women's Place in Society "A'NICE'lady would never never leave her house without a girdle - for 'moral' support, never wear shoes with open toes or heels, and she would only put on white gloves between between May 24th and Labour Day." These and other social trivia of decorum from the past not only added humor, but also stirred a few forgotten forgotten memories in some of us as Linda Sauriol talked recently recently to the members and guests of the Bowmanville Business and Professional Women's Club about women and their place in society.

In November 1929, the British Privy Council finally ruled that women were indeed persons. Honoring Emily Murphy, the government presents each year the persons persons award to those who continue to Champion Women's Women's Equality. Although the Charter of Rights guarantees guarantees equality for women, Linda Sauriol warned against complacency.. Society Society changes. constantly and women need to be aware of how these changes might affect affect them and their families. Women have always worked out of economic necessity, necessity, out of the need to survive. Those who traditionally traditionally have held the power in society believe that, because because the work which women women traditionally do, looks so easy and is executed with such aplomb, it can't be wprth very much. After all, how many men do you know who can cook a three course meal, do the laundry, change the baby's diaper and settle a fight between the two older kids all at the same time without getting frazzled? This assumption is carried into the market place, and the wage gap persists. persists. There are still barriers for women wanting to enter non-traditional jobs and professions: professions: Hostility, inadequate inadequate facilities, inflated job standards, and a lack of role models. Having succeeded, women often find a "Glass Ceiling" in their chosen field, a barrier to advancement. advancement. Frustrated, many return return to the "Female" jobs. Mrs. Sauriol'stated that employment employment equity remains the issue in the/90s. In the discussion discussion following the presentation presentation it became evident that women need to support and accept each other in their chosen roles, whether they be traditional or non- traditional.

The people here are looking forward to attending attending a camp made just for them. It's called Camp Hu- ronda and it serves diabetic children. From the left: Vincent Norton, Amanda Mills, Darrah Bradley and Bob Hickie point out some of the activities in which they have taken part during past summers Huronda. by Andrea Adair When 15-year-old Bob Hickie first found out he ha,d diabetes he didn't know what it was. He admits that initially he was a little scared about how this disease was going to change his life. He wasn't alone in his fears. Amanda Mills, nine; Vincent Vincent Norton, nine; and Darrah Darrah Bradley, eight; all found it to be a little scary when they learned they too had something called diabetes. Their fears and their sense of being alone subsided subsided when, after attending a summer camp for diabetic children, they found out other other people their age not only had the same problem but also had the same fears. Located in Huntsville, Camp Huronda is one of three diabetic camps in Ontario Ontario for children aged 8 to 15. Mary Todd, a diabetes nurse educator at the Best Centre in Oshawa and contact contact for the camp in the Purl- ham Region encourages diabetic diabetic children.to experience• the camp at least once. She mentioned a range of benefits the camp offers to those participating. These include: meeting other children children with diabetes; developing developing independence by being away from home; learning about diabetes; and giving Mom and Dad a break from the diabetes routine. The camp runs for two week periods and, during that time, numerous activities activities take place to keep the kids busy. Kayaking, canoeing and horseback riding were just a few of the sports Vincent, Amanda, Darrah and Bob talked about. Missing their parents while away wasn't a problem problem for any of them. "You're too busy to worry about things like that," Bob explained. The parents don't have to worry about the health of their children while they're away since there are four nurses, two doctors, counsellors counsellors and counsellors in training training looking out for them. Mrs. Todd said the camp is a place where kids can have fun but also is a place where children who are just learning to deal with a diabetic diabetic lifestyle can intermingle intermingle with active and well- adjusted diabetic children. Each camper that attends is guaranteed to return home with new experiences. First time camper Darrah learned last slimmer how to give herself an insulin injection injection and what she should do if someone has an insulin reaction. reaction. Vincent, who Mrs. Todd said was a favourite among other campers and the staff, enjoyed meeting and making new friends and had a great time with the horses. And Bob found out that his diabetes didn't mean he couldn't live a "normal" life. "You can do everyday things...and you can do it without thinking about it," he said. Mrs. Todd too, who attends attends the camp as a nurse, has memories of summers spent there. "Last summer I had the opportunity to witness a young, extremely shy nine- year-old boy build the confidence confidence over two years to stand unfaltered in front of the whole camp and staff to thank everyone for the best summer of nis life." "This will remain a cherished cherished memory for me," she added. The Canadian Diabetes Association will be holding its annual camp information evening on February 8, 7:30 to 9 p.m. at the Oshawa Public Library, Northview Branch (250 Beatrice Street Oshawa) for children and youth with diabetes and their families. A slide show, an informa-, tion session, question and answer period and refreshments refreshments are some of the activities activities planned for the evening.
