The Chamtb, *i&roposing a black tie afTair in April thi yer. t wich th?ee tientiaI Citizens of the Year will dutifully (if ail goes according to plan) appear and anxiously await selection of a winner. Il will bc akin to an awards ceremony like the Oý.cars. Whcn the moment of truth arrives there will be one victor and two game yet crestfallen also-rans, who will be comforted by friands wbile the winner strndes to the podium, presumably pulling out an acceptance speech enroule. Ibis is a bai ides alien it corimes ta recognizing communiiy volsusters. Why turn volunteerism int a competition? Each of Ihis ycar's potential recipients - Barb Snow, Joe Mc- Cann and Walt Elliot - are worthy in their own night. Why should they have 10 square off against one .,anoîhcr? Since wlien did community service hecome a, tontesl? Granîed. there is an element of selection in the process already. A panel pores over nominees and makes a choice. But il is donc discreetly, privately, charitably. A spirit of sensitivity prevails, and that is as it should be. In its questb market ils annual civic recognition ceremonies more effectively the Chamber of Commerce has produced an innovative plan. That spirit is wel- corne. But the format is singularly inappropriate for the occasion. 'Mis type of awards structure is, no doubt unwittingly, the comnersone of onge-upmangship, not çitizenship. The only effective remedy for this situitiolf iS 10 honor ail three recipients in each category <there are also civic improvemnent and organization nomninees) equally this year and then scrap this novelty. *If the Chambeibwants to market its awards ceoemony' more effectively il should eut the quanfty a md duration of duil speeches, then concentrate on good food, drink' and entertainment. Tha's. what-works for everybody else. Vjust don -t start Kickîng the smoking habit isn't easy. It's an uddiction and a strongly imprinted behaviour. Thc best way to keep from getting hooked on this unhealthy, noit to mention expensive habit, is not toi start. That's the thrust of the Hallon Councfl on Smoking and Health mandate for '93. Alarmied by the iktreasing numbers of teenager%, mostly femnald, taking up thc habit, the couricil is determined to have the age limit (l 8 years) for purchasing cigarettes enforced. It should be as difficuit for someone underage to pur- chase cigarettes as it is Io purchase alcohol. Smoking related ilînesses are well documented and new research has confirme4 the risks. of second-hand smoke. Ihere's no good rmaslon to smoke.
