For more than eight years, Polonsky has been at the helm of Durham College. Lately, the col- lege has had to negotiate the choppy seas caused by a typhoon of provincial budget cuts storm- ing the college system in the past several months. The result was a 15 percent increase in tuition fees and the loss of $3.4 million in operating grants, translating into an 18 percent budget reduction for Durham College. But is the ship about to be scuttled? No way, says the cap- tain. "We're working our way through it," says Polonsky. "At the end of the day, Durham is going to maintain its strength and build on its high standards as we pursue what I might call our des- tiny. We will continue in Durham 'lo remain a high-quality, accessi- ble place for people to prepare themselves for 'real world' careers." The college is poised to launch a 10 -year. $30 -million fund rais- ing campaign, a key facet of its plans to become Durham University Centre, a place for both college and university study. Plans are to have that goal met in two phases: $12 million by 2001, and the remaining $18 million by 2006. The college serves a mixed population, from Pickering to Port Hope and north to Beaverton, all united by a com- mon desire to learn. Last year, enrollment grew by 15.5 percent to 42,000 students (5,000 full- time and 37,000 part-time) in a variety of programs. Eight years ago, Polonsky adopted a set of values designed to act as touch- stones for school policy. They include educational justice for 1n11; a guarantee that no student wound be barred from Durham due to financial hardship and a gree on employability "We are the only college guar - *geeing employability," says TollorAy, adding that Durham has only been called as that guar- antee four times in the last two years, and in each case, it was shown that employers were look- ing for skills that were not part of the college's curriculum. Overall, employers are extremely pleased with Durham, he says. And so are the students. A recent pool showed that 94 percent said it's a good place and that they would recommend it. Durham has six campuses and the college employs 1,000 staffers, 500 of them full-time. Polonsky calls them the back- bone of the college. "I'm blessed with an incredibly able and dedi- cated stall'." One recently -launched initia- tive, the Youth Internship Apprenticeship Program gives students a chance to continue their high school education, while entering a skilled trade apprenticeship program. Involving local school boards, provincial and federal depart- ments and local employers, the program has 40 students enrolled in motor vehicle mechanic, machinist, tool and die making, and industrial millwright mechanic trades. Other courses of study target- ing the current job market include certificate courses in pal- liative care (aimed at skill devel- opment in caring for the termi- nally ill) and psycho -social reha- bilitation, which enhances the skill levels of those taking care of the mentally ill. The emphasis at Durham is on skills training and computer literacy and every stu- dent is required to take computer courses. Polonsky employs a small- town approach. Born in Thunder Bay, he was president of Red River Community College in Winnipeg before joining Durham. The school has grown by 50 percent since Polonsky joined and has diversified into several new programs, including human justice and environmental tech- nology. Durham's key appren- ticeship programs, linking it to employers like General Mom means the college must establish partnerships with those it saves. "We can't do well on our own," says Polonsky, 53. "We have (six) sets of partners: students, staff, suppliers, graduates and funders. V* wort together m important MWAWAY proJeCtS•" Polonsky and wife Las live in CmUce, just onside Oshawa. They lave three children: Mike, 27, a Whitby restaurateur, two daughters, Cheryl, 32 and Mandy, 31, and a grandchild, Jared. Polonsky speaks glowirgly of the opportunities he has had working at Durham College — and the responsibility it eataiils. "I think rve got the best job in the world," says the president, who reports to a 17 -mamba board of directors drawn from across *ContYnwd on page S COVER STORY *Continued from page 2 Durham. "What we do matters immensely in the lives of tens of thousands of people. Durham College is affecting over 100,000 people a year." Even the school's newspaper has become known for its quality. A consistent winner in annual competition, the weekly Dutfiam College Chronicle recently won second place for general excel- lence for college and university newspapers from the Ontario Community Newspapers Association Most of all, Polonsky says he is dedicated to maintaining his accessibility. "It's easy to shield yourself and that's ane of the reasons I moved my office about three years ago, because I felt isolated. I moved out into the middle of the college corridor because I believed in being accessible." It would be difficult to doubt that Durham College will contin- ue to grow and succeed in meet- ing the region's educational needs. "We're blessed to live in a free country with a well-devel- oped social structure that has all the basic freedoms and the opportunity to work and give our chikkert a shot at doing better than ourselves," says Polonsky, one captain who won't have to worry about going down with his ship. He has trimmed the fiscal sails, set a course for the future and is sailing along quite nicely.

Could anyone read these findings without feeling sick at heart? What a terrifying fact it is to realize that we are slowly, but surely killing off each of the many types of creatures which inhabit our world. And that eventually, as we seem determined to do, we can only end up annihilating ourselves. With Spring each year comes a succession of "weeks" ear- marked to remind us of the environment: National Wildlife Week. Arbor Week, National Composting Week Environment Week and Earth Week. Most of us can recall a time when there were no "weeks" for all this, there was only Arbor Day. Observed by school chil- drrn, this was a day when we would take time out to plant a tree — usually just one — to pay homage to nature and cele- brate the importance of trees and their link to our existence on this planet. Today, we seem to need "weeks" to remind us, and still the message fails to get through. Curious. In a time when its Uri - cult to find a single person who won't admit to being concern- ing for our immediate welfare, not to mention that of future generations, little seems to alter the destructive path set by self-serving individuals, major industries and governments worldwide. Has anyone noticed how pervasive and deadly asthma is becoming? Today, babies are bon suffering with lung disease; young athk:les succumb soddenly in mid -game; domestic ani- mals are commonly afflicted; and even Santa found himself forced to cut short a visit, thanks to a disability he did not know he had wail middle age.

The vehicles were used during the eighth annual Durham Skills Challenge Competition, hosted by Durham College Skills Training Centre in Whitby on March 29. The vehicles will then be donated to 12 high schools offering automotive programs within the four Durham and Northumberland Region School Boards. "Around the world and across Canada, Toyota has made an ongoing commitment to education through the Toyota Technical Education Program (TTEP),' said Peter Tschoepe, Vice President of Parts and Service, Toyota Canada "We are proud to restate this commitment through the support by Toyota Canada and its Dealers to the Durham College Auto Technician Skills Competition as well as by providing training vehicles for FOR Good Quality Cars & Trucks 686-3505 George Davey Auto Sales 4-179 BAYLY STREET EAST, AJAX use in technician training by twelve schools in the Durham and Northumberland Region. "We are especially pleased that our latest initiative starts at the entry level into our industry with Toyota Dealer support of co-op education of auto technicians in schools with Toyota vehicles for training purposes. Elsewhere, Toyota Canada has provided major TTEP support to post- secondary school training which carries through to fully licensed technicians," Tschoepe added. "Without the generosity of corporate partners such as Toyota Canada, the quality of education in our colleges and secondary schools would not exist as we know it today;' said Sandy MacDonald, coordinator, Youth Internship Apprenticeship Program, Durham College.

Canadians are being routinely gouged by the oil companies. Unfortunately, consumers will continue to be gouged if they sit back and do nothing. It is time for action, action similar to what occurred with the cable TV specialty channel consumer revolt in January 1995. On Thursday, April 18, 1996 I re -introduced in the House of Commons a private member's bill which would require gasoline companies to inform the Minister of Natural Resources in writing of any impending increase in the price of gasoline, over 1% the current pump price. The bill would require this notice to be given 30 days before the increase and explain the reasons for the increase. Governments cannot regulate the price of gasoline, and the oil companies are quick to say that it is the market which sets the prices. Therefore, I urge you to make your protest over gas hikes heard in the only way oil companies seem to understand, by participating in a national gasoline company boycott. During the month of May, Canadians should refrain from purchasing gasoline or products from Petro Canada stations. in June, boycott Esso. Boycott Sunoco is July and Shen in August. Only through a well -organized national boycott wi I the four largest oil companies in Canada on the public's message. Canadians are fed up with being taken at the pumps. Join the national gasoline medals, including a sweep of the Youth Internship Apprenticeship Program category. Raymond Kane (gold), Glen Gibson (silver) and Jeremy James (bronze) took top honors in that category, while Matt Libich earned a bronze in the Durham Board of Education / Durham Region Catholic Separate School Board of Education category. i company boycott campaign. i Remember, the summer long weekends are also coming up and this is a traditional period for oil companies to gain a windfall by raising prices. If consumers are willing to accept paying the inflated prices set by the oil companies, the price hikes will always occur. A national boycott campaign this summer will take a bite out of each of the largest oil companies in Canada and they will respond to the loss of revenues. From time to time, gas price wars occur, but they do not last long. Consumers end up reimbursing the oil companies in the long-term through higher prices. I believe gas companies must be held accountable for their pricing and justify massive increases at the pumps. If we continue to accept the price hikes which are not legitimately justified and are based on pure greed, we will continue to be taken. I urge constituents of Ontario Riding and people throughout Durham Region ID join the national gasoline boycott.

Ontario FMDA P 0 Box 2000. Oakville. Ontario LEJ SE4 t i t•' Step out and by Marjorie Green Herongate has done it again! The popular bam theatre has come up with yet another de- lightful show — "Stepping Out." Regular visitors to Herongate will recognize several familiar faces in this up -beat, off -beat show, but this time everyone is wearing tap shoes, which makes for a very lively, f u n n y evening indeed. The story fine is really quite thin: a group of indi- viduals — seven women and one man — meet every week in a north London church hall for tap lessons. The teacher, Mavis (played with panache by choreographer Shari Robinson - Coulter) and crotchety piano player, Mrs. Fraser (Jackie Del Greco) round out the cast. As training continues from see "Stepping Out" week to week, characters get to know each other and their skill improves. And, it wouldn't be giving anything away to say that by the end of the show, we have a "Chorus Line." The story, in fact, would be "Chorus Line" were it not for the sheer clumsiness o' this motley bunch of warwidbe dancers. Although the writing is ing himself a chance to delve deeper into character back- grounds and motives, and explore serious subjects often hinted at throughout the play — annoying snippets which leave the audience wondering about outcomes. But writing aside, adventures in this British tap class, as per- formed by Herongate's profes- sional cast, are thorough- ly enjoyable. Combine that with a great buffet and entertainment beforehand, and Spanish Coffee with the cast after the show, and you have a truly memorable evening. Running Thursday through Sunday, up to and including Mother's Day, "Stepping Out" at Herongate is truly worth stepping out to see. Call 472- 3085 for tickets and informa- tion. uneven and lacking in depth, the action and humour manage to cover -off what would other- wise be a seriously flawed play.

The Club con- tributed $60,000 towards the budding fund and the St. Andrew's Community Centre was officially opened October 15, 1984, on the site of the old St. Andrew's School. In fact, since the Club's start, over $300,000 dollars has been raised to furnish and improve the centre, as well as make contributions to other organizatioosin Ajax.

For adults, decks offer outdoor living space for entertaining, sun bathing and dining. For chil- dren, they provide an excellent outdoor play area. But the best news about a deck is that it is an ideal home improvement construction pro- ject for the average handyman or woman. Design is straight forward. No advanced carpen- try skills nor sophisticated tools are needed If you can hammer a nail, saw on a straight line, and read a level, then building a deck should present no major problems. What's more, the use of pres- sure -treated wood and rust- proof, zinc -coated fasteners help assure that your project will be virtually maintenance - free and will provide enjoy- ment for decades to come. You won't even have to paint or stain the wood, although the option is there. Left unfinished, it weathers to a rustic gray. The location and design of your deck should be influenced by several factors: — Use for sunbathing, par- ties, relaxation, outdoor cook- ing, air currents, existing struc- ture; -- Sunlight (sun or shade), privacy, view, safety, access to home, terrain or other personal needs and preferences. Decks originally gained pop- ularity as a way of adding out- door living space on hillside lots. However, many decks today are built on level ground, where they offer firm, dry foot- ing close to the home. Decks can be built just inch- es high or elevated well above the ground. They may be free- standing or attached to the home or other building. They can even be built in a second - story above a garage, carport or other roofed structure. Building a deck is easier and usually wetter done when prop- er tools are used. Certain prop- erty and construction condi- tions may necessitate special tools, but the following list will suffice for most dock projects: circular saw, power drill, wood chisel, tape measure, hammer, chalk line, level, combination square, framing square and hand saw. For safety, gloves, goggles and dust mask are rec- ommended. rovement � ►me efficency assessment offered in Pickering The Residential Conser- vation Assistance Program ;;(ReCAP) has announced a .anew partnership with Pickering Hydro.
