Dec. 26,1984 PICKERING JICP O 40 Outraged At Council By Josie Newman About 40 outraged visual- ly impaired residents in Pickering who have been denied free transit services by local council plan to demonstrate their anger through a public petition. Bill Brown, transit coor- dinator for the Canadian National Institute for the Blind, Ontario Region, says Pickering is now the only town in southern Ontario without complimentary services for the blind. "It's absolutely ridiculous Council service, the local mode of transportation, can't afford to give anyone a free ride. But there are so few blind in Pickering that it's a mat- ter of principle not money," said Brown in an interview from his Markham office. He noted that many com- munities with free transit services for the visually impaired have far more blind residents than Pickering does, but have managed to afford to im- members sav Dial -A -Bus lContinued on Page 1:4 Graduate From Shaw's Brigitte A.

SALEP Report The Durham Board heard a report from teacher Sue Diamond on the Supervised Alternative Learning for Excused Pupils program. Ms. Diamond is the com- mittee liaison teacher for the program. SALEP is for students 14 and 15 who, for a variety of reasons, no longer see themselves as able to benefit from regular school attendance. It allows students to con- tinue their education and acquire the necessary skills in problem solving and decision making re- quired in everyday life. SALEP attempts to facilitate the students' re- entry into an appropriate school setting. Support For Hastings Board The Durham Board will support the Hastings Coun- /� cc]]�� iu t u ' ' ziczsom's ty Board in its opposition to pornography. The Hastings Board has decided to ask the Ontario government to impose more stringent controls on the availability of por- nography and to develop a system of identificaiton and classification that will make pornographic print and video material easily recognizable.

LO, 1!164 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Resolutions by Bob Watson It is this time of year that traditionally each of us analyzes the past year and decides how to change for the better. So here are some suggestions. It would be very nice if everyone - not just the rab- blerousers - would indicate how he or she feels about public issues, so the poor politicians can hear from that solid, quiet majority. We realize how un -Canadian it is to express oneself, but let's do it'. If foreign investors have been put off Canada because of the past, why don't we Canadians stop investing in those nice, safe little bonds and trust certificates and put our money in more risky companies who are drilling for oil and other natural resources. If we all did more of that, we wouldn't need foreigners to do our work for us' We would like to see the federal government put crown corporations up for sale and Canadians buy the shares. Democracy would work a lot better if every Canadian own- ed a piece of one or more companies. The government could even give one share of Air Canada to every Canadian citizen to kick off our individual investment in the economy. Then we could all express our economic feelings to com- panies instead of government so much' Have a good holiday' Bob's Notes Conqueror Of Mt. Everest We enjoyed a lovely "Evening with Sir Edmund Hillary" in the ballroom of L'Hotel. in Toronto on Wed. Dec. 12th. The banquet was organized by the Ontario Executive Women in Travel and our hosts were Wendy- and Art Garner of Chartwell Travel. Our other dinner companions were Pat and Ross Montgomery. Proceeds of the evening went to help Sherpa people in Nepal. There was very good enter- tainment with New Zealand Maori dancers. Our Salvation s, The Big Generation written about in "Bob's Notes" will not bankrupt Canada's social security programs. To hold the generation brought Lip on Dr. Spock and the pill rnspoosibk for our society's financial dilemma is ludicrous. We are a society that has evolved through consumerism and now the Canadian culture is nothing short of nar cissism. To say the Big Generation is the first television generation leaves the reader to form his own opinion of the statement. The medium of television is the vehicle used by big business and politicians to manipulate us and turn us into the self worshipping people the majority of us have become. Before Canada's social security programs are bankrupt our government will increase our contributions or change the system. One of the vehicles used to promote the wort ethic is the carrot at the ed of the road. The politicians who are the fronts for big business won't allow us to entertain the idea of a lifetime of woe and no prize. The reality is that if one camts on social security alone they find themselves com- pletely confused and eating dog food. The Big Generation has presented us with problems that exist in our society. But the problems they present us with are negligible compared to the monumental ones they've inherited. The legacy we are leaving our children is one in which narcissism is the norm and hedonism is the future. Subjects that should be of concern to us. and not just a plat- form for useless political rhetoric are: The family, religion, children, senior citizens, mental il- lness, prejudices, communism ( propaganda) , our school systems, community life, our laws, the women's move- ment, illicit drugs, token government agencies. At 45 years of age, I fond myself unable to woe due to back problems. Reality has made its dimension visible to me. The problems we face to -day are riot a product of the Big Generation . They are a product of our own self worship. Our salvation as a society is not in God or the government, it is in the family being one.

What's Wrong With - Minor Hockey What's wrong with Minor Hockey and what can be done to improve this great sport. First if hockey is to be enjoyed by our youth, the operators and owners of our Minor Hockey clubs are going to have to lay down some very strict rules, rules that they themselves often break. Let's face facts the name of the game with Ma- jor Hockey clubs (M.T. H.L.) S.H.A. and others is to be com- petitive and to win. No one, not even myself likes to lose but when we put winning above everything else then we face our first problem. Recruiting is, in a lot of cases, very unethical, and usually the boy and the parents are the losers. Let me give you an example. A young seven year old who appears to have a better than average ability is spotted at a local game. Coaches and managers hound the parents and the boy. I've heard it said.- "Mr. Smith I watched young John last night and he made a move that reminded me of Bobby Orr. Yes sir that son is sure fire pro. Let me teach your son and some day he'll be in the N.H.L." Several weeks go by, the boy is not the super star and so he's benched. The parents ask what happened to our Bobby Orr. The coach says - "Parents, damn parents always com- plaining". The truth of the matter is parents put their young boys and girls in the hands of these men, they pay the bills and if they open their mouths they're at fault. Let's face facts, one of the maw problems in all sports are coaches, managers and organizations on ego trips. These people work all day - go home put on their hockey jackets and think they're Punch Intlachs. Not all men or women are in this category but a few bad apples spoil the barrell. Let's take the cost of hockey. The cost of hockey has reach- ed the point where it's become a rich man's sport. Young families just can't afford to pay and have several children in the sport. Ice rentals are out of line, sticks are ten dollars and up. Skates are out of reach and yet parents are prepared to give up all just so their youngsters can play a team sport. Violence in hockey has been greatly overrated. Hockey is a physical game and few boys or girls are seriously hurt when you consider the amount of games that are played. But yes there are people in the game today who will send out boys to maim our boys. These men should be banned for life. I would like to make a recommendation. One major pro- blem roblem is we have too marry older mem, teaching our boys. while hundreds of young men who have played Pro and Ma- jor Hockey are the people we should be trying to recruit. They are more up to date on the present game, they have better rapport with the kids and they understand the youths problems more so than those of us who have allowed the gnat to pass us by. Older met who wish to play a part should be managers. They should handle the parents and let the young men teach the kids. We all know the cost of hockey has reached the point where it now has become a rich kids sport. I don't know the answers to bringing down the cost but I do believe that at the end of each season a fmancial statement should be made available to all coaches and managers so that the Parents could understand the problems that some of the ex- ecutives are faced with each year. There are so many people who deserve credit but go un- noticed so I would like this week to say thanks to meso like Joe Mahe, of Wexford, Jack Harper and his wife who run the Toronto Red Wings. Gwen MacGee a lady who woks harder than anyone I know, Frank Milder whose record 20 years speaks for itself. To all the young mems and woman who woe so hard. last but not least, get rid of the few bad apples who put winning and their own ego ahead of the kids and the game. I'm sure we all know of these types. Speak out and remember winning is having fun, meeting new friends and last but not least Merry Xmas and Happy New Year.

Ernest and Jessie Parris were honoured on the occa- sion of their 50th wedding anniversary with a recep- tion at the Old Mill on Sat. Dec. 1. 1964. Over 50 people attended the afternoon reception given by their two daughters, Nancy and Eleanor. "It was a beautiful recep- tion," Mrs. Parris told the News. "Our daughter coi- lected many old pictures dating bock to before we were married, including one of the Holy Trinity Church where we were married. She also obtained pictures of friends, relatives and grand- children talking on the evenings: at Cedar Brook Community Centre on Wednesday afternoons and evenings, and at Port 'inion Community Centre on Monday afternoons and Tuesday mornings and evenings.

Homemade cream liqueurs add magic to holiday entertaining It's the season to be merry and nothing fits the mood of the occasion better than a glass of rich, velvety cream liqueur. Whether it be for a gathering of friends or simply for relaxing by the fire with family, put a little magic in your holiday enter- taining with your own homemade cram liqueur. Cram liqueurs are the fastest growing spirit beverage market in Canada but you can enjoy the same delicious taste, at about half the cost of the commercially bottled product. by mixing up a batch at home. There are a number of cram - based liqueur drunks you can make at home including the popular Irish cram h- goeur, a Canadian variation and the seasonal "Magic Grog". All the drinks rely on sweetened condensed milk for a smooth creamy taste and consistency. Sweetened condensed milk is a rich, creamy blend of pure milk and sugar that's condensed by a special process — don't confuse it with evaporated milk, though, as they are not interchangeable in recipes. This year, make sure your holiday drink repertoire in- cludes the following favorites from the Borden Kitchens. You an make them up as needed and any Tea punches for safe and happy holidays Guests who prefer not to "drink and drive" this festive season will ap- preciate the offer of a non- alcoholic drink. Here are two tea -based punches that are non-alcoholic alter- natives to serve throughout the holidays — Tea Wassail and Festive Party Punch. The word "wassail" was derived from the Old English " "wes hal" or "Be in good health". Originally meant as a toast to some- one's health, it became a toasting brew with baked, clove -studded apples on top. It was a tradition in the yuletide season and singers would go "a wassailing" from house-to-house sing- ing carols in return for a cup of spicy wassail. The "wassail bowl" is still a symbol of hospitality and a good way to say welcome. Served hot, this Tea Wassail is an inexpen- sive and interesting drink to chase the. ,chills� of winter leftovers will keep , several days in the refrigerator.

With the hectic build-up of last minute preparations for these holidays, a festive meal needs to be easy to prepare as well as elegant. Roasting a leg of Spring Lamb is a classic way to celebrate the holiday season. Spring Lamb legs can serve a small family, with a short cut, or three-quarter leg; or a larger group with a bone -in leg, or semi -boneless cut. A short cut leg of Iamb is a smaller cut, serving four generously. Bon- in and semi -boneless kgs of Iamb will serve eight to ten people. If .ou choose to glaze your leg of Spring Lamb, try Cran- herry Jewelled Leg of Lamb. Fragrant with the red fruit, it is a festive dish with a luscious pinky -red glaze. A boned leg an be used for Savoury Stuffed Lambs, hich features pleasing blend of spinach and ricotta cheese.

T6. 1964 Bill Watt's Worlds INTERLUDE: The week between Christmas and New Year's is a curious time. For some, it's a continuing round of revelry culminating in a big bash on New Year's Eve. For others, it's a time of reflec- tion on the past year and contemplation of the new one soon to arrive. Then• Mere are the columnists! Some declaim the past year's bests. Others play catch up ball. Include us please among the latter as we attempt to review a few books and records that we believe deserve attention. As always in situations such as this. the length of the review or comment should not necessarily be an indication of relative worth IN PRINT: Tinkle. Twinkle Little Star by Dick Moore ( Fit- zhenry do Whiteside) is pro- bably best summed up by the sub -title ( But don't have sex or take the car! ). Dick Moan is the former child and adolescent actor better recalled perhaps as Dickie Moore. In this book he has reminisced about his days as an actor (he started at 11 months) and captured on tape the recollections of other child performers such as Shirley Temple. Jane Withers. Jackie Coogan, Jackie Cooper and others. It's not perhaps a pretty book but neither is it depressing. It's true that child per- formers still don't get a fair shake but it's not as bad as people might think and most of the youngsters seem to like their work. Some will argue that they don't know any better and they might be right. After all, we actually liked school. Whatever, the book is most engrossing and in its own way pleasurable as one catches up on the child stars of yore and what has happened to them. Mr. Moore's chronology is not always as accurate as it might be but then the work is not intended to be scholarly. We think too that man• readers will be interested in his close ties with Toron- to. ( His mother and father met here and his grand- parents lived out their lives here.) A good first effort. Whether or not Mr. Moore has other books in him re- mains to be seen but if he never writes another. he has achieved much with this. Can one ask for more' The Loving Touch (Ballantine) shouldn't be dismissed as just another sex manual. It's well written. we believe, well researched and certainly interesting.

If nothing else, it certainly enhances one's knowledge of the anatomy of the genitalia. A loving touch of quite another kind is approached in Alice At 80 ( Doubleday) . This is a fictional recoun- ting of what happened to little Alice Liddell, the Alice in the Alice in Wonderland stories by Lewis Carroll. Now, it has long been known that the Reverend Charles Dodgson was fond of little girls but specula- tion in latter years has been rife over how fond he was. Author David Slavitt at- tempts to explore the issue. Unfortunately he seems so caught up in his pseudo - sophisticated style of com- position that he wearies the reader. He writes the way Buckley or Vidal speak . . as if they are listening to the sounds of their own voices. One must confess too another annoyance at the book. We are annoyed that the subject of Dodgson's possible sexual problems need be brought up at all. What ever they might have been. what ever the man might have been. he has been dead for many years so why raise the issue now' And. why not let us preserve the picture of an innocent Alice' What point does a book like this serve' Ceremonial Time by John Mitchell (Doubleday) is written much in the style of William Least Heat Moon. Mitchell lives in a square mile area of Massachusetts Called Scratch Flat. Draw- ing upon amateur skills as an anthropologist and ar- cheologist as well as his very real skills as a reporter and interviewer he has reconstructed the history of Scratch Flat over the mdlenia. Most interesting it is but we suggest it's too much for a single reading. Better to keep it on your bedside table and go back to it from time to time. Conscience Place ( Doubleday ( is set in the near future (or is it now). Authoress Joyce Thompson has written of a place unknown to the rest or the world where children genetically deformed by the effects of radiation upon their scientist parents are kept in controlled isola- tion in an attempt to create a new and hopefully better world. Notwithstanding the premise, it's a hauntingly beautiful piece of work. It becomes ugly only when the real world threatens to intrude upon it. It would be unfair for us to hint at the ending. Let us say only that hope remains. Attention ... Advertisers and Readers!

Hope remains also in Ar- changel ( Fontana Collins) a novel about men in a Siberian labour camp. This too should be a depressing novel and in parts it is. But. the dauntless spirit of man takes over and it becomes a real rouser. You'll enjoy the episode where the cruel overseers are downed by a mysterious malady. Fecal orientation indeed' Abracadabra! - Magic and Other Tricks by Shari Lewis ( Ballantine) is an ideal book for youngsters during the holiday season or any other time of the year. The title says it all. It's a collection of simple tricks, riddles and other ac- tivities to amuse younger minds. (Younger minds, bell! We enjoyed it! ) It's relatively modern as well and includes games that can be played on small pocket computers. Unfortunately, there are always children in hospital. This is just a first rate amusement for them. We confess a fondness for reference books and one of the best is The World Almanac (Ballantine). Well, the 1985 edition is now available and is, as always, a delight. We're not at all sure that it's a good reference book as we find the general in- dex a bit fussy but it doesn't really matter. This is the kind of a book one can open at any page and usual- ly find out something one didn't know before. It's far from being trivial but it's a trivia buff's delight. En- joy! Now, if you've missed so- meone at Christmas you might try a proprietary gift of the latest work by Kit Williams (Jonathan Cape). There is no title, just ask for the latest Kit Williams. We have long since given up attempting to describe it. It's a visually stunning volume but the paintings seem to mix up Salvadore Dab and Aubrey Beard- sley. The prose is cutesy to an almost offensive degree and yet withal• there is a certain gentle charm about the entire undertaking. But. my goodness, even if you have difficulty understanding it, we still suggest you acquire it. It is so stunning and so different in its own way that we believe it might well become a collector's item. ON RECORD: As another year starts to fade away one is reminded that the future belongs to the young and it is our responsibility not only to love them but to manifest that love. We have always found music a fine way to show one's love. Now. while we all can't sing or play in- struments• we can all operate a record player. All of which brings us to Songs For Sleepyheads and Out -Of Beds! (A. & M.) a collection of songs for the very young. It's a lovely album and one that youngsters will, we're sure, treasure long after they're grown up. FAST EXIT: That title might well sum up our feeling as this is be- ing prepared. We're tired and obviously out of bed. Still, the sea beckons and we hope our readers will forgive the relative brevity of the cokumn. And, we hope too that you will all have the very best of new years. wily not' WE survived 1964 didn't we! Part -Time Courses At George Brown Productivity improve- ment, dance.

The four are among 50 new community mental health programs being funded by the Ministry of Health this year, at an an- nual cast of $6.4 million. "One of the programs for downtown Toronto will focus on rehabilitating mentally disturbed young people between the ages of 16 and 24, and bridging the gap between children's and adult mental health ser- vices. The second, a post detox care centre, will aim at re -integrating indigent men into the community, Health Minister Keith Nor- ton said. "For Scarborough, where there is an anticipated in- crease of 10,000 to 12,000 new residents a year, a council to coordinate ex- isting mental health ser- vices for discharged psychiatric patients will be formed, linking adult treat- ment with services offered by hospitals and local com- munity agencies," the minister added p—, The fourth program is a co-operative housing pro- ject for North York, to ac- commodate 10 or so people, with chronic psychiatric problestns, at a time. It will help to develop their daily living skills so they can function more successfully in the community. Central Toronto Youth Services, a 10 -year-old mental health agency cur rently serving 160 young people in Metro, will receive annual operating costs of about $321,626 to run the downtown program for psychiatrically disabl- ed young people, and $20.000 in start-up casts. The program will be run in co-operation with a number of hospitals and community agencies. At any one time, it will serve 45 young people unable to cope with the demands and pressures of urban life. The Society of St Vincent De Paul will receive $134,355 in annual operating costs and $5,000 in capital costs to run a post detox centre with 14 beds for indigent men in the City of Toronto. About 168 men a year will be referred for post detox treatment from five detox centres in Metro. Progress Place in North York will receive $206,850 in operating costs and $21,310 in capital costs to rum a co-operative housing program to assist people with chronic psychiatric ,problems. The program will handle 10 people at one time -12 to 14 annually. Emphasis will be on developing daily be- ing skills and ability to ac- cept responsibility. Progress Place operates three other mental health programs in North York, a co-operative housing pro- gram, a transitional employment program, and a social relhabihtatwn pro- gram. All are funded by the Health Ministry. Scarborough Mental Health Agencies, a council which will plan and co- ordinate mental health ser- vices in the city, will receive $124,850 in operating costs and $12,100 in start-up costs. It will work to meet adult mental health needs, specifically the needs of discharged psychiatric pa- tients. Housing, health, social, recreational, educa- tional and vocational needs will be emphasized, as well as ongoing treatment. W.

Of Directors Three Metro Toronto executives have been elected to the 1985 Board of Directors of the 58,000 member Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA). As members of the CREA Board of Directors, Peter L. Mason, president of Peter L. Mason Limited, of Don Mills, and James R. McCreary, president of Bramalea Realty Limited, of Willowdale, will be involved in policy decisions regarding the real estate industry over the coming year. John Erickson, vice-president of real estate services of Canada Permanent Trust Company who served on the board last year, will also be a director m 1985. Road in Etobicoke. As a person interested in public issues, Mr. Castaldi will probably focus atten- tion on the role of real estate men and women in their communities. When interviewed about the real estate market, he is likely to put the emphasis on the individuals and families who are happily settling in- to their chosen locations with the assistance of real estate brokers and salespeople. "It is this service to the public that gives special meaning to the statistics about property transac- tions," he said, "and I don't think it is too pretentious to add that the contribution made by conscientious and sensitive real estate profes- sionals can be just as im- portant in a community as the role of the medical pro- fession or the clergy." Born in 1936 in his family homeland of Malta, Joe Castalid was a very young schoolboy when the 200,000 people of Malta faced some of the worst bombing in- flicted on any target in the Second World War. The bravery of the whole population was recognized with the award of the George Cross to Malta. 44 Charlie or Sam Muscoiona Ellesmere Auto Service Major & Minor Repairs Tune Ups, Brakes, Carburetion Auto Electric and Air Conditioning 3600 Finch E. at elrchmount 491-7511 The Public Utilities Commission Of The City Of Scarborough 1530 Markham Road, Scarborough, Ontario M1 B 3M4 R.

MPP Durham West SEASONS GREETINGS The festive season is here once more, and it is appropriate at this time to count our many blessings and to reflect upon the message of Christmas - one which each year seems to grow more relevant throughout the world. As the pace and complexity of life quicken, and the need for peace and goodwill becomes more and more crucial. the message of Christmas has an increasing impact on our in- dividual hopes and dreams, and on our very existence as a human race. May the spirit of Christmas - that of great joy and hope - be with each and every one of you and your families throughout the holiday season. May we all emerge from this joyous time, thankful of our many blessings, renewed in our resolve to keep the spirit of Christmas alive in our hearts and in our minds all year long.

MPP Durham West SEASONS GREETINGS The festive season is here once more, and it is appropriate at this time to count our many blessings and to reflect upon the message of Christmas - one which each year seems to grow more relevant throughout the world. As the pace and complexity of life quicken, and the need for peace and goodwill becomes more and more crucial. the message of Christmas has an increasing impact on our in- dividual hopes and dreams, and on our very existence as a human race. May the spirit of Christmas - that of great joy and hope - be with each and every one of you and your families throughout the holiday season. May we all emerge from this joyous time, thankful of our many blessings, renewed in our resolve to keep the spirit of Christmas alive in our hearts and in our minds all year long.
