youll see for sale^fs<br />

holi0iyseas6n...<br />

You can help make thelMew Year brighter for these<br />

workers <strong>in</strong> three easy ways.<br />

Ask a store manager:<br />

If he or she can guarantee the products you'd like to purchase are not made under sweatshop<br />

conditions?<br />

If the store's suppliers pay their workers a liv<strong>in</strong>g wage?<br />

I^What they are do<strong>in</strong>g to ensure dignity and fairness for workers?<br />

"Sweat<strong>in</strong>g" as much labour as possible out of workers means forc<strong>in</strong>g them to work long hours at<br />

starvation wages, <strong>in</strong> unsanitary and unsafe workplaces. Their bosses are break<strong>in</strong>g laws for profit,<br />

ignor<strong>in</strong>g m<strong>in</strong>imum wages, child labour and safety laws to make toys, runn<strong>in</strong>g shoes, and garments<br />

sold <strong>in</strong> Canada. Who works <strong>in</strong> sweatshops?...young people, women, people of color, and <strong>new</strong><br />

immigrants.<br />

l\/lyths about sweatshops:<br />

1. "It's not my problem."<br />

Work<strong>in</strong>g conditions <strong>in</strong> many countries have worsened; every day an estimated 80,000 children<br />

enter the workforce around the world. Welcome to the <strong>new</strong> global economy where plant closures,<br />

"down-siz<strong>in</strong>g", work pace "speed-ups", and relocations affect us all.'<br />

2. "There are no sweatshops <strong>in</strong> Canada."<br />

Sweatshops are a reality <strong>in</strong> Vancouver, Montreal, Toronto and other Canadian cities where workers<br />

<strong>in</strong> the garment <strong>in</strong>dustry are caught up <strong>in</strong> the <strong>new</strong> global sweatshop system;<br />

3. "There's noth<strong>in</strong>g I can do."<br />

We are not ask<strong>in</strong>g ydu to boycott. But retailers and manufacturers are accountable for the goods<br />

they make or sell. There IS an altemative to sweatshops: Use your consumer power to tell them -<br />

Canadians don't want to buy items made <strong>in</strong> sweatshops. ^ • ,<br />

We can br<strong>in</strong>g an end to sweatshops, but it beg<strong>in</strong>s with you decid<strong>in</strong>g to ask even one store manager<br />

the questions noted above. This holiday season you can make a difference for work<strong>in</strong>g children<br />

and adults here <strong>in</strong> Canada and around the world.<br />

Jenny a^ed to stay with her friends that night.<br />

Her parents frown^ but said, "AJi right."<br />

£xcited, she got ready for the big event<br />

But as she rushed around like she had no sense,<br />

She began to feel guilty about all the Ues,<br />

But what's a pizza, a party, and a moonlight ride?<br />

Wejl the pizza was good, ^nd the party was great,<br />

Batihe moonlight ridf would have to wait.<br />

FOJ' Jeff was half drddt by this time.<br />

Bitt he kissed her aatd said that he was just f<strong>in</strong>e.<br />

Then the room filled with smoke as Jeff took &<br />

puff.<br />

Jenny,couldn't believe he was smok<strong>in</strong>g that stuff. ,<br />

Now Jeff was ready to ride to the po<strong>in</strong>t<br />

But only after he'd smoked another jo<strong>in</strong>t.<br />

They jumped <strong>in</strong> the car for the moonlight ride,<br />

Not th<strong>in</strong>k<strong>in</strong>g that he was too drunk to dive.<br />

They f<strong>in</strong>ally made it to the po<strong>in</strong>t at last,<br />

And Jeff started try<strong>in</strong>g to make a pass.<br />

A pass is not what Jenny wanted at all<br />

(and by pass, I^don't mean play<strong>in</strong>g football).<br />

"Perhaps my parents were right...maybe I am too<br />

young. ^<br />

Boy, how couM 1 ever, ever be so dumb)*^<br />

With all her might, she pushed Jeff away:<br />

Discretion: a better<br />

part of valour?<br />

HAVE YOU ever<br />

done a buddy th<strong>in</strong>g with<br />

your ma<strong>in</strong> squeeze?<br />

- What I'm talk<strong>in</strong>g<br />

about is do<strong>in</strong>g th<strong>in</strong>gs with<br />

your wife, partner or<br />

significant other. Th<strong>in</strong>gs<br />

like hik<strong>in</strong>g, ,canoe<strong>in</strong>g,<br />

snowshoe<strong>in</strong>g, ski<strong>in</strong>g,<br />

sk<strong>in</strong>ny dipp<strong>in</strong>g (well,<br />

maybe sk<strong>in</strong>ny-dipp<strong>in</strong>g is<br />

<strong>in</strong> another category<br />

altogether, I don't know)<br />

or golf. Or, and here's an<br />

extreme - hunt<strong>in</strong>g!<br />

My wife, my lover,<br />

my friend went hunt<strong>in</strong>g<br />

not long ago with her son,<br />

Janties. I stayed home, to<br />

"mow the lawn, dear, one<br />

more time before the<br />

snow flies."<br />

Actually, I was<br />

somewhat reliictant to get<br />

<strong>in</strong>to otu: truck, drive way<br />

out <strong>in</strong>to the sticks, with a<br />

woman with a loaded<br />

gun!<br />

You see,^I have, at<br />

times, somehow annoyed<br />

her.<br />

An example is that<br />

for no reason whatsoever,<br />

that I could ascerta<strong>in</strong>, I<br />

caused Bonnie to walk<br />

home from the second tee<br />

at the Drdgon Lake Golf<br />

Course.<br />

It couldn't have been<br />

that little h<strong>in</strong>t on<br />

groov<strong>in</strong>g her sw<strong>in</strong>g that I<br />

laid on her, could it?<br />

Nah! It could have been<br />

worse - she coidd have<br />

grooved, her sw<strong>in</strong>g by<br />

lay<strong>in</strong>g aft eight iron<br />

alongside my head.<br />

Another time, I was<br />

accused of pay<strong>in</strong>g much<br />

too much attention to a<br />

tall bond with - well,<br />

never m<strong>in</strong>d. Bonnie<br />

rem<strong>in</strong>ded n\e that I couid<br />

be her surrogate<br />

grandfather.<br />

So, "a-hunt<strong>in</strong>g they<br />

did go" without me.<br />

Discretion be<strong>in</strong>g the<br />

better part of valour, I<br />

waived participation <strong>in</strong><br />

this particular foray <strong>in</strong>to<br />

the forests.<br />

The two <strong>in</strong>terepid<br />

woods-persons were, <strong>in</strong><br />

fact go<strong>in</strong>g put for a load<br />

of wood for the boys. The<br />

guns were along for the.<br />

ride, "just <strong>in</strong> case a fourpo<strong>in</strong>t<br />

buck jumps out."<br />

They took my er - our<br />

explorer.<br />

"Drive carefully and<br />

don't forget to put it <strong>in</strong><br />

four-wheel-drive, if need<br />

be, and make sure you use<br />

a tarp to protect the<br />

upholstery, and don't ...<br />

what's that? Hey, watch<br />

the language, eh!"<br />

Ah yes - peace and<br />

quiet here at home. I<br />

wonder what's on the old<br />

boob tube?<br />

Where's that damn<br />

remote? Cold beer, warm<br />

furnace turned up to a<br />

livable degree,<br />

comfortable chair. Oh,<br />

great! The Sk<strong>in</strong>s Game on<br />

rerun. I missed that one.<br />

Davis Love the Third is<br />

up one stroke over<br />

Couples. It don't get any<br />

better than this. I could<br />

play better if...<br />

xxxx<br />

...huh? Oof, I must<br />

have dozed off for a<br />

moment. Holy cow, it's<br />

dark! What was I ... Oh,<br />

oh, it's gett<strong>in</strong>g late, they<br />

were supposed to be<br />

home by four and it's<br />

6:30. I wonder if Love<br />

won? Phone!<br />

"Hello?" '<br />

"Hi. Just got back.<br />

James got his four po<strong>in</strong>t!"<br />

"Sure."<br />

"No, no, seriously."<br />

r "Yeah, yeah."<br />

"No! What really<br />

happened is we got stuck<br />

real good and I may have<br />

burned out a hub gett<strong>in</strong>g<br />

out."<br />

"Well, as long as<br />

you're okay..."<br />

In the background I<br />

heard, "Let me talk to<br />

him."<br />

The phone changed<br />

hands. "Hello?" it was<br />

James. "I did!" He was<br />

about- 120 yards away. I<br />

scoped him and saw the<br />

four po<strong>in</strong>ts. I let go and<br />

got him. One shot. He's a<br />

beauty. The best I've ever<br />

got!"<br />

It was true? Now,<br />

James is <strong>in</strong>sufferable. He<br />

tells the story at every<br />

slight opportunity. His<br />

brother is be<strong>in</strong>g driven to<br />

distraction. Film at<br />

eleven.<br />

Uncle Bob<br />

In last week's<br />

column, I posed the<br />

query, "Where did the<br />

expression, "Bob's Yoar<br />

Uncle" come from? Any<br />

ideas? Give me a caiL<br />

I TRIED these cookies<br />

at my mom's a few<br />

years ago, and managed<br />

to get the recipe from her.<br />

They are very good.<br />

Unfortunately, they don't<br />

freeze very well, so you<br />

can't make them ahead of<br />

time. But they do keep <strong>in</strong><br />

an airtight conta<strong>in</strong>er for a<br />

little while.<br />
