Page 6, Terrace Bay-Schr: You may be a diabetic Dear Editor: The (Northern) Ontario Division of the Canadian Diabetes Association (CDA) is determined to have adequate health care available for diabetics who live in the northern regions of the province. Unfor- tunately we do not have branches in all of our nor- thern communities yet, so I have to mail this news release rather than hand it to you personally. I hope that you will con- sider publishing it in your worthy paper. Public awareness of diabetes is the first step toward controll- ing this disease. Thank you for your assistance. Lorrie Grannary Development Officer, CDA, Ontario Division eiber News, Wednesday, (The news release is in- cluded below -- Editor.) There are over one million people in Canada with diabetes and 50 per cent do not know that they have the disease. Volunteers of the Canadian Diabetes Association (CDA) are working hard to make people aware of this fact. There are two main types of diabetes. There is a Type I or insulin depen- dent diabetes and a Type II or non-insulin dependent diabetes. Because Type Il diabetes is slow in_ its development and because it is usually: controlled through diet and exercise, rather than insulin injec- for more Leanne Tupperware available now in Terrace Bay | and Schreiber Would you like to have a Tupperware party? 824-3224 info call Mauro January 22, 1986 tions, people often don't discover that they are a Type II diabetic for years. There is a belief that Type II diabetes is not as serious as Type I diabetes. '"'Not true," according to Lorrie Grannary, Northern Development Officer for the Ontario Division of CDA. "Type II diabetics can develop the same com- plications that Type I diabetics are prone to,"" she explained. "Diabetes can contribute to as much as 50 per cent of heart attacks and 75 per cent of strokes. It is important that the disease is detected and put under control early in its development, in order to avoid or limit these complications." She added that if a per- son is overweight and over 40 years of age, they are a high risk for developing diabetes. Such people should contact their doctor to have a blood glucose test done. "This test will give the doctor a fairly accurate measure of whether a per- and not even know it son is a diabetic or not," Grannary said.

More opportunities for business women by Susan Loppacher Northwest Enterprise Center Time was, the business world was an area reserv- ed solely as a male domain. However, today more and more women are catching the entrepreneurial spirit, and launching their own ventures. In fact, according to the federal government's Small Business Secretariat the proportion of businesses owned by women almost tripled from 1964 to 1981. The latest figures from some independent studies suggest that 40 per cent of Canadian businesses are now owned by women. The increase of women's participation in the small business sector is a phenomenon of both choice and necessity. Technology has eliminated many of women's traditional jobs, while at the same time it is still difficult for women to land senior executive posi- tions in large corporations even if they have the ex- perience. Instead of sear- ching for employment ina tough job market they are striking out on their own, and starting their own businesses. Whether male or female, having a business survive and grow ina competitive marketplace is difficult. Eight out of ten fail in the first five years of opera- tion. One private Canadian study found, however, that of owner/operators, 47 per cent of women and only 25 per cent of men made it through the first few years of operation. It's not that women are more talented or intelligent than men, it's just that they tend to be cautious and pru- dent in some cases. One thing that women entrepreneurs lack is access to business networks where they can share information, obtain managerial advice, and receive moral support. The Northwest Enter- prise Centre is offering a series of 'Business Owner- ship for Women' sessions to fill that gap. As organizer of these regional programs, I feel that the sessions will give women an" insight into avenues of help for women entrepreneurs, explore business ownership as a career option, give an overview of the key elements of business ven- tures such as planning, financial controls, stress, marketing, and so on. The sessions will be of- fered in 10 Northwestern Ontario communities beginning in the new year. Entitled 'Adventure in Enterprise,' the regional sessions are intended to complement a major con- ference planned for Thunder Bay in March of 1986.

Other seminars and conferences hosted by other organiza- tions will be taking place elsewhere in the province at the same time. By starting to mobilize the existing women's business sector and inviting those women who are in- terested in starting business, we will be taking the first steps to creating a solid women's business network in the Northwest. Each participant atten- ding a session will be en- titled to charter member- ship in the newly formed Northwest Business Owners Association.
