Your special tastes have been dignified with a book The Encyclopedia of Bad Taste fondly surveys the little things in life that we've learned to say we hate. But somebody must love them because there are so many of them. Authors Jane and Michael Stern are like owners of a large, unruly dog who privately admire their pet while publicly deploring its excesses. Personally, they love the stuff they ite about. They collect it and even display it in their home, a dignified colonial on a quiet road in the heart of cultivated Fairfield County, Conn, ~ Except for the grimacing life-sized stone hippopotamus on the front lawn, a passerby would hardly imagine that the house is full of kit- schy collectibles, as well as shelves of books. The Sterns, each with a graduate degree in the arts, are best known for their books and articles extolling the culinary virtues of the diners and truckstops of the United States. In their travels along America’s highways and back roads, they say they acquired a fondness for objects such as whoopee cushions and ‘‘wall rugs’’ which they picked up at flea markets and souvenir shops. They don’t flaunt the stuff — it would be tasteless, after all. Rather, they tuck it in among the quietly ap- propriate furnishings in their house. In a second-floor study, however, they have arranged the cream of their collection — the pink flamingo and the rubber chicken, the Elvis memorabilia and the best of Michael Jackson wearing a ‘‘super sipper’’ plastic hat with straws and a can of beer on each side. Their book is mainly a humorous romp though the fickle fields of fad and fashion and is far too gentle to cut deeply. Yet, those who share their values are likely to enjoy a sen- sation of horror at teacup-sized chihuahuas, fuzzy dice, pushup bras, bodybuilding, hot pants and heavy metal. They also single out lamps filled with bubbling liquid and known as Lava Lites, novelty ashtrays, figural candles, Hummel figurines, recliners, waterbeds, lawn ornaments, artificial grass, sno-domes and giant pepper mills as examples of extreme decorative tastelessness The facts they’ve dug up on each of the 135 entries could heip readers shine in trivia contests. Such as where the best rubber chickens are made (Spain) and when _ novelty ashtrays and fuzzy dice were inven- ted (the 1930s). Fans more than critics, the authors r 1 in bad taste rat m analyze . However, they say, bad taste ¢ does have a number of useful functions. “It’s inappropriateness, it's tremis! s too much, but in that too muchness there is vitality, heat and excitement,’’ Jane says. Bad taste has been a wonderful source of images, patterns and colors for artists, and the shoddy, tacky and tasteless have a freeing effect in art and literature, says Michael. He cites an art exhibition, called High and Low, at New York City’s Museum of Modern Art as an ex- ample of the fascination bad: taste holds for artists and intellectuals. The Sterns are, as Jane says, fascinated by “‘the perpetual battle between snobs and slobs. Taste is Provocative because it is through our cultural choices that we present our- selves to the world.’”* The Encyclopedia of Bad Taste, by Jane and Michael Stern.

The focus of this six-month training program is to help in- dividuals who are having difficulty getting into the workforce, says Laurie Read, who coordinates the federally funded Job Entry and Re- entry programs for the Nelson em- ployment region. This class was given upgrading in english, math and computer skills and were placed in office positions, as well as in retail sales and service jobs. “They learned how to get and keep a job as part of the training,”’ she said in a news release, “Some have elected to return To school to upgrade academically or to acquire more office clerk training,” Read added, “but many job placements through the program tur- ned into concrete job offers of full or part-time employment."’ She said that even if the training placements don’t turn into per- manent jobs, students leave with some fresh work experience, referen- ces, and some recent contact in the industry. Among the employers who provided work placements for her students Read acknowledges for the Job Re-entry training were Sharon Peterson of Slocan Park, Susan Burbank of Nelson, Lavern Yofonoff of Winlaw, Blanch Valks of Nelson, Sharon Godwin of Mirror Lake, Barb Richardson of Nelson, Val Radcliff of Longbeach, Kris Milton of Crescent Valley, Wanda Margeson, Peggy Jones, Glenda Harris, Debbie Carter, Tammy Gibb, Penny Douven and Dena Beck all of Nelson, and Natley Brar of Slocan Park. Pleased with her student’s perfor- mance in the program, Read ex- plained that the employment rate among her graduates was very high.

Read is working on a proposal for another program to begin January 1991, which would emphasize non- traditional jobs for women and youth in light industry. Her program proposal includes running a similar program at the Trail campus simultaneously, Each campus will offer 16 seats. As before, this program is open to youth and women. The application deadline is Dec. 17. For details con- tact either the Nelson or Trail cam- puses of Selkirk College or the Canada Employment Centre in Trail or Nelson. In addition to academic upgrading, particupants in the up- coming program would receive training in first aid, air brakes, pesticide application, traffic control, Workplace Hazardous Materials In- formation Systems, transportation of dangerous goods, _— chainsaw operation, shipping/receiving and small engine operation. “The next program proposal is about half skills training and half work experience,’’ Read says. At the moment Read is canvassing the region for employers who might be willing to provide training placements for her students.
