Hia point proved preacient when counicil voted to allow a 55-foot high sign at Mohawk Raceway later in the same meet- ing. That's roughly the size of a McDonalda sign. *Currently, the bylaw allows for a 31- foot sign in the area. The sign wll feature twinkling lights on the first and last letters of the word 'siots.' Approval came deapite some concern that the twinkling lights could be a distrac- tion for drivera in the Guelph Line area. "I for one drive there a lot of times," aaid Mr. Gevaert. "Id requcat that the twinkles be removed." One more ight won't make a différence in the area, Mr. Lee reaponded. "That whole area ia lit up like a ight bulb," he said. "I think it' s a minor thing." The winking ights are standard for Ontaria Jockey Club signs. aaid Mr. ovia.

By IRENE GENTLE The Champion Arevamped staff report aimed at get- ting the skinny on body image and eating disor- dera; passed at Haltons health and aocial services committee despite aome opposition. It then squeezed by council. But the report that empha- sized the importance of a poai- tive body image above dieting waa still too thin for Burlington Councillor Linda Schreiber. "I'm not going to support thia motion," she said. III think everything in it bas aîready been comnered off." Ms Schreiber had also opposed an earlier report on body image.* Cornjittee have too many otheorities to focus on eat- ing disoýdera, ahe argued at the time.' Rather than concentrating exclusively on body image, the latest report combined the iaaue with other health department initiatives. That gained the favour of Oakville Mayor Ann Mulvale, who said that sometbing should be done to prevent eating disor- dera in today'a children. 'I underatand the balance Councillor Schreiber ia trying to achieve" ahe aaid. "(The report) isn't perfect but we're trying to get the mesaage acrosa f0 counter what they may be hearing and what par- ents may be unwittingly rein- forcing." Urging seif-acceptance even in heavier youth may be aldo to arguing that obesity ia good, objected Burlingtan Councillor Jack Denelson. "Whfftare these presenta- tions telling people?" he asked. Youth are surrounded by messages that thin is in, coun- tered Dr. Bob Nosal, Halton' s medical officer of health. "The other reality is, like it or not, thinnesa has been associat- ed with auccesa," he said. "This generation has been bombard- cd with that." The result bas been that 37 per cent of Canadian girls have started dieting by age 11.- A Peel Region study sbowed that 61 per cent of girls in grades seven and eight were dieting despite being of aver- age wigbt for their heigbt and Ann Muivale age. Also, about five per cent of femalea aged 14-25 are strug- gling with a full blown eating diaorder. Another 10-20 per cent have symptoma of an eating disor- der, according to the report. "You can't underestimate what an issue tbis is in the community," said Dr. Nosal. "We have teens who are choos- ing ta starve themselves." That is something Sara Scbleien, a student at Georgetown District High Scbool, has seen first hand. "I've seen girls skipping lunch ta save calories," she told committee. "I've seen girls switching meals for cigarettes ta keep thin." A 200-strong caseload over the past year for the cating dis- orders program at Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital has proved that there is a prob- lem in Halton, said Mary Forban, an occupational thera- pist at the bospital. 'This told us theres a strong need for preventative measures in our regian," she said. "We're extremely over- wbelmed." Since about 40 per cent of body shape is genetically deter- mined, it's important for youtbs ta understand they may neyer acbieve the ideal figure, said Ms Forban. r The report suggested that youtb be taugbt the basics of bealtby eating andf active liv- *ing, including exereise. It also recommended bclping 7yautb devclop a bealtby but erealistic body image. That is not tbe samne as Iencouraging obesity, said Dr. rNasal. e "That not working out is .- good is not tbe message," be d said. e ~1 ait -1
