Interim Public Framework for Trustee ('oncerns i•:n- doned The board endorsed an in- tenm public framework for dealing with trustee con- cerns and information re- quirements. The framework states that the board expects a high level of professionalism from its staff• and in turn• should exhibit the same standard of professionalism in its support of staff. It outlines a process by which individual trustees may obtain accurate infor- mation about staff roles or practices and work toward resolution of concerns priore to making public statements which could be termed negative ap- praisals or direct criticism of staff performance. Individual trustees are asked to refrain from mak- ing public statements about such concerns until all trustees have been given accurate information on which to base discussion and decision.

All About Joe Dickson Born in Toronto in 1940. Joe Dickson is the eldest of rune sorts and daughter-, of Lou and Mary Dickson. Seveenty-seven years ago. Joe's mother. Mary. was born in Dunbarton and was raised in the community of Pickering Village. At the age of six, Joe moved to Ajax with his parents. Joe has been a proud resi- dent of Ajax since 1946. Joe's career as a communi- ty volunteer and organizer began early. He started a mirror basketball program when he was a student at Ajax High School more than 30 years ago. The responsibilities of being a member of a large family contributed to that task and laid the foundation for the rest of his life. In 1994 Joe was the reci- pient of Ajax's highest public award, the Citizen of the Year Award. This adds to the list of a number of community awards he has earned through the years including the Outstanding Young Canadian Award bkv the Ajax Jaycees in 1976, the National Achieve- ment Award for Participa- tion and sponsorship of minor sports in Canada in 19136 and the Canada 125th Anniversary medal award in 1992.

The most recent AECB "Radiation Monitor" in- dicates that, for the three months period from Jan.1 to Mar.31, 1995 the radia- tion doses due to the opera- tion of the Darlington and Pickering nuclear stations were 1.7 microsieverts and 2.4 microsieverts, respec- tively. These doses are for the most exposed persons living near the stations. Thev would typically app- ly to persons living just out- side the station boundary who are at their residence 24 hours a day, and who eat and drink local produce and water. The doses are calculated using actual data from the analysis of air, water, milk, fish and vegetation in the local area, as well as data from the actual measured emis- sions from the stations. Most persons in the Pickering and Darlington areas would actually have received much less than the doses indicated because they have dif- ferent eating habits or live farther away from the sta- tions. Radiation doses decrease significantly as the distance from the sta- tions increases. The "Radiation Monitor" is produced every three months for each of the two stations and published in local media in the Durham region. Each edition con- tains a graphic presenta- tion of the radiation doses to the public due to the emissions from the station, as compared to the doses from other sources, such as natural background radia- tion, the proposed legal limit, and the radiation received during a typical chest X-ray. Copies of the "Radiation Monitor" may be obtained directly from the AECB by calling 1-800-668-5284.

Ma, 24, 1995 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Understanding Politics by Bub Watson it is very interesting to have a dialogue about politics with people with whom you never discuss political issues. The folks we talked to over the weekend were more concerned about the party leaders than their local candidates. Of course, we know that as a local MPP in a caucus meeting with your party, which is in power at the legislature, you almost always have to conform to the ma- jority vote. This is an area where we believe an MPP should be able to vote against his or her party if he or she is strong- ly opposed to the party's decision. And you should be able to continue with your party on other issues. It is interesting to see that the latest polls reveal that the Liberals and Conservatives are now equal in public sup- port. Let's hope that this changes before June 8th because two parties close in numbers in the legislature could leave no one parte in a majority position. Watching the recent party leaders debate on TV was very interesting to most voters because all three leaders ap- peared to be equal in the verbal battle. in any event, all voters should study the issues and vote positively on June 8th. On Discrimination Dear Sir: i am writing to respond to your editorial of May 10,1995 concerning employment equity. Contrary to the opinion ex- pressed in the editorial. employment equity was not enacted to discriminate against anyone. If only Mr. Watson saved his fire for those who continue to discriminate against the disabled. members of the ethnic groups. and women every day. Many American, and for that matter. Canadian com- panies are expanding their investments in Ontario, employ- ment equity or not. The idea that having to give people equal treatment in the workplace will cause businesses to flee from the province is a red herring that ought to be thrown back into the polluted ocean from which it came. Ontario increasingly has a diverse population whose talents and abilities are being wasted in business because of unfair hiring and promotion practices. Women, racial minorities. and especially the disabled are underemployed or unemployed at a rate higher than that of the population in general. They often earn less and are segregated into marginal occupations. It is the abilities of these people that are beine lost to Ontario business, and that costs us all. What is in the Employment Equity Act is a requirement that companies examine the current rules and practices they have to ensure that they do not, even knowingly. discriminate unfairly against employees or applicants. What is not in the Employment Equity Act are quotas speci- fying which groups get hired. and in what numbers. All that is asked is reasonable progress in bnnging down the bar- riers which keep qualified people from being lured or pro- rnoted. Sincerely. Bob Frankford. MPP Scarborough East Highway 407 Dinosaur? By the %ear AM. ()ntano's newest highway, the 3117. will stretch from Oakville to Markham. For the provincial government it's a showpiece. the leading edge in automotive transportation technology. But for others it's an expensive $1.6 billion - outmoded monument to environmental insensitivity. Groups such as the Better Transportation Coalition fear it will add to pollu- tion, congestion and urban sprawl. They suggest it will drain resources from the public transit that's needed to con- nect the growing number of people living outside Metro to each other and to the Of%- of Toronto. The Better Transportation Coalition says "Stop the 40; Madness It's calling for the project to be halted and the money spent to improve the quality of life in the GTA.

Elections Ontario - Revisions To The List Of Electors Eligible individuals whose names are not on the preliminary list of electors prepared for the 36th Ontario General Election may have their names added during the revision period running from Thurs. May 18th to Wed. June 7th - the day before election day. As well as adding names to the list, corrections and deletions from the preliminary list prepared by enumeration may also be made during this period. To be eligible to vote individuals must be 18 years of age on election day, a Canadian citizen at the time of voting and a resident of Ontario for the six months prior to election day. In urban areas, electors must have their name on the list of electors or hold a certificate to vote. Such a certificate is provided by the Returning Officer or a revision assistant to individuals added to the list after enumeration. The cer- tificate must be presented by the individual at his or her polling place to receive a ballot and to vote. In rural areas, electors who are not on the list on election day, or whodo not have a certificate to vote, may still vote if: they take an oath or affirm that they are eligible, and they are accompanied by an elector who is on the list for the same polling division and who is prepared to vouch for them. Electors whose names are not on the list, or who require corrections or deletions to their name on the preliminary list, should contact the Returning Officer in their electoral district. The Returning Officer can be easily identified by an Elections Ontario sign and is open during posted office hours. Elections Ontario advertisements in daily and weekly newspapers throughout the province will provide telephone numbers to call for election information. For general elec- tion information in the Toronto area call 416 -754 -VOTE (8683) and from outside Toronto cal 1-801}-668-2727. Telephone Directory Assistance will also be able to give the number of the appropriate Returning Officer if in- dividuals ask for "Elections Ontario" and provide the name of their electoral district. Car Use In Metropolitan Toronto Area Up 120% Torontonians took 45 percent more trips per day in 1966 than they did in 1%4. according to a recent University of Toronto analysis of transportation trends in the Metropolitan Toronto area. They also grew increasingly reliant on the private automobile over the 22 -year time span. On the road and transit system. daily trips more than doubled from 3.9 million trips in 1963 to 8.6 million trips in 1966. More than twice as many private vehicles were available for use in 1996 and private automobile use in- creased 120 per cent from 2.2 million trips in 1964 to 4.8 million trips in 1996. Between 1%4 and 1986 the population of the Metropolitan Toronto area almost doubled. growing from 2.7 million to 4.1 million, but the number of households grew from 0.7 million to 1.5 million. an increase of 106 per cent. The average household size declined from 3.8 people in 1964 to 2.8 people in 1996. The study conducted by U of T's Joint Program in Transportation. compared travel data that had been col- lected in 1964 and 1996 as part of the Metropolitan Toronto Area Transportation Study. The data allows city planners to see how households and travel patterns are changing in order to help forecast and strategically plan for the city's future transportation needs. "Identifying personal travel patterns helps city planners decide what will need to be done 15 years from nowl, whether it be an additional subway line or an extra highway lane," said Daniel Badoe, a researcher in the Joint Transportation Program's data management group. However, just because a past trend has been identified does not necessarily mean that trend will continue in future. said Badoe. Other new lifestyle factors must be brought to bear on future transportation planning. For ex- ample, new technologies such as teleshopping and telecom- muting are very likely to affect personal travel patterns, he said. The 1996 survey contains detailed information on the per- sonal travel patterns of more than 170,000 individuals in more than 60,000 households, while the 1964 survey included more than 73,(W individuals in more than 24,000 households. The Joint Program's data management group is supported by six municipalities in the urban area from Oshawa to Hamilton, as well as GO Transit, the Toronto Transit Commission and Ontario's Ministry of Transporta- tion.

April Resale Picture Unchanged Existing home sale in Canada's 25 major markets declined in April, but a gradual recovery now appears likely. Preliminary figures released May 15th by The Canadian Real Estate Association show 15,260 homes traded hands through the MIS in April compared with 26.970 units a year ago, representing a decrease of 43.4 percent. ".The latest round of mortgage rate cuts is welcome news to consumers and the resale housing market" said CREA President Gary Schnarr. "Unfortunately• the recent cuts will take some time to filter their way into the market as consumer attitudes are somewhat hardened following a year of declined activity."

The Valour and the Horror The controversial mini- series. "The Valour and the Horror will not be rebroadcast on the CBC in i Ls pre sant form. That statement was made on May 11th by Cliff Chad- derton. CEO of The war Amps, to a cheering delegation of loo veterans of the Holland Campaign who were closing out a ten dav visit to the land they liberated 50 years ago. Chadderton was quoting from a letter Apr.Mh l from Perrin Beatty. Presi- dent and CEO of the CBC which stated in part. "With respect to the question you raise about "The Valour and the Horror". let me reiterate the assurances given to you by my predecessors; namelyl. that the CBC has no plans to rebroadcast the series. Should that change, the commitments made by the former officers of the cor- poration regarding the pro- grams' creed to conform to CBC journalistic policy would be respected." "The Canadian veterans were very pleased to receive the news from the new President of the CBC. They did, however, express concern regarding two other films which are being made by the same pro- ducers - Brian and Ter- rence McKenna. The first deals with the naval war in the Gulf of St.Law-rence and the second with the Polish division which fought with the Canadian forces in Normandy," Chatterton said. !Naval veterans expressed concern that the film would criticize the Navy in regard to the heavy losses suffered by the Merchant Marines. It is believed that :n mer- chant ships were sunk in the Gulf of St.lawrence. Those armv veterans whose units had fought in Normany were quick to suggest that the McKennas might overplay the effect which arose from the un- fortunate bombing in- cidents by both the R-A.F. and the U.S. airforce, which created havoc with the Polish forces in Nor- mandv. Canadian forces were bombed as well. The other area of concern was that the film would ig- nore the part played by the Canadian divisions in the closing of the Falaise Gap, giving what might amount to undue recognition to the effective contribution of the Polish forces in that campaign.

SPRTti Girls' Slo-Pitch Team Awesome - our record is 4 wirm in 4 games. Pearson played Leacock in their 4th league game. Pelarson scored 16 runs, 2 of them being home runs by Tara Zedner and Nadia Dyett. Great pitching by Nadia Dyett and defensive work by Shannon McLerie. Grame Saw•ayne. Sheila Avari and Farah Shaikh kept the Leacock batters from scoring any runs. Congratulations team! Buy,' %'Awcer On Friday Pearson played Laurier in a do or die situa- tion. The Bengals had to win to keep their playoff hopes alive. Pearson con- trolled the first half, creating many offensive opportunities but were only able to capitalize on one while giving up 2. Going Into the 2nd half down 2-1 the Bengals managed to scratch victory from the jaws of defeat coasting to a 5-2 win. Three goals by Warren Hutchin- son and two by Michael Jack provided the offence. Congratulations players and coaches.

Special mention to Tamara Dixon for her double over the left fielder's head and to Rvanne O'Neill who played a very nice 3rd. base. Pearson Playhouse Congratulations to Gregg Wade.

It's safe, though, to suggest after a repeat viewing at The O'Keefe that novelty has given away to familiarity, allowing one to concentrate on the artists]. not necessarily the produc- tion. All of which is to say that Kimberly Glasco and Aleksander Antonijevic in the title roles are all that one could wish. Miss Glasco reprises the sex- uality so evident in her re- cent appearance in A Month in the Country and Mr. A. continues to impress with his grace of move- ment. Their dances together are lyrically literate but not to the exclu- sion of emotion. Robert Conn as the menacing T 1ialt continues to impress with his ver- satility. Only a fortnight ago he was one of the comic step sisters in Cinderella. His Tpbalt is not evil - he seems to regret killing Mercutio -- but sick. It's a fine characterization to match his admirable danc- ing. Jeremy Ransom as Mercutio- a plummy role - is a delight. He's lean and lithe, almost rubbery but always a man of bearing. A spoiled playboy no doubt but noble withal. Ditto for Richard Landry as Ben- volio. - The role of Paris is usual - Iv a thankless one but Nils- 13ertil Wallin gives it a cer- tain something that transforms it into one of frustrated strength and COUNTRY FOLK ART"' SHOW t� SALE y MAY 26-27-28 MISSISSAUGA INTERNATIONAL CENTRE USE Flrraewrc M 6940 AirpW ti at Derry Fht Hi" 427N to Anvor Ra Evt '+waw 4.'75 tc Wes: Or Dery Rd C XAI" a parred harnawe . folk art parmrgs, calernders. greenn9 6 note cards. pooery a sforreerre . baeaets . eslow 9ms/ Wale Urm"o .

IN PERSON The motion pictures starr- ing Don Knotts, who open in Harvey at Stage West on May 31st..were among the highest grossing features of their respective years. So, the gentleman isn't hur- ting financially. Surpris- ingly though, he receives no residuals from the Andv Griffiths show on which he played the incomparable Barney - "Where's my bullet?" -Fife. The latter fact came out at a recent media conference. Mr. Knotts in person is just about the same as the character he so often por- trays - shy and unassum- ing, not the easiest of inter- views. Even so, he won over a roomful of jaded media types with his down to earth honesty. He should be a natural as the pix- ilated Elwood P. Dowd in Harvey. We'll let you know. ART SEEN Curator Flavio Belli con- tinues to present the most interesting of artistic works at the Joseph D. Car- rier Art Gallery in North York. The two current ex- hibitions are excellent cases in point. Sky Harp. mixed media by Alex de Casson is. we Baggage At Campus The University of Toronto Scarborough Campus (UTSC) Alumni Theatre Company is presenting "Baggage", written by alumnus Conor Jones. The play is a comic treatment of serious family relation- ships and the baggage that we all carry around with us. "Baggage" opens at Scar- believe, the sort of artistic expression that the late Frank Lloyd Wright might have espoused could he have taken time from his obsession with architec- ture. This is evident from the manner in wkhich his structures were created to meld with their natural surroundings. Mr. de Cossons is similar- ly bent on marrying natural materiel to the developments of technology. His Forest With Crucifix Chairs, for example, consists of roughly planed columns of wood topped by whirling mechanical fans and counterpointed by art deco chairs sunken in wood. Our poor description cannot convey the feeling it con- jures 4 nature and science properly coexisting. In fact. it lacks only a natural scent to be the most complete of sensual ex- periences. One has the same feeling with his Cedar Exchange. Those are. of course. only two of the image-, in this most striking of exhibitions. Sergio Bizzarri's pain- tings are nominally more traditional works of art but only just. The gentleman has a distinct style of brush work that gives his pain- tings an almost dappled ef- fect, rather like reflections of summer foliage in a still lake. Now, having written that, one must also say that there is a certain sensual quality about them as in- deed, there is of nature if only one can or will seek It out. Comparisons of style should not be made in ar- tistic critiques but we can't resist remarking that Mr. Bizzarri's works are what might have been the result had Van Gogh imitated Gauguin or vice versa. We believe that to be especial- ly so in the painting Eden; tre anni doppo. Without colour illustra- tions to accompany them, our comments can only direct those interested to view the works of these two artists for themselves.

ARTS REWARUEU The 1995 Chalmers Awards for creativity and excellence in the arts in Canada were presented recently and much was, properly, made of them in the media. It seems to Your Column, however. that they're veer- ing dangerously away from what the late and much lov- ed Floyd Chalmers intend- ed them to be. Certainly, the gentleman intended to free artists from the con straints of what is sometimes Considered to be commercialism. But, it's hard to conceive that he intended his awards to be for the esoteric or even shocking. Robert Lepage's Needles and Opium, for example, should not even have been considered in our opinion. Mind you, we're man enough to admit lingering anger over Lepage's ill mannered comments when accepting his award. Poor show. On a happier note, it's pleasant to report that Li - vent's Show Boat is to receive four awards in New York City this Friday from the Outer Critics Circle. The Circle is an organiza- tion of those writers from out-of-town newspapers who write about the New York theatre scene. The awards will be made at Sardi's of Breakfast at Sar- di's fame. Good show.

Most participants are of- fering discounts until Feb.28,1996. The program was launch- ed in 1994 as a pilot project to encourage Canadians to travel to southeastern ]Massachusetts and to show that the state was being sensitive to the lower ex- change rate between the Canadian and U.S. dollar. Canadian response was so overwhelming tht the state has decided to run the pro- gram for a second year. "In response to the pilot project. MOTT received thousands of calls and re- quests for information. Since Canadians responded so favourably to the pro- gram we are pleased to ex- pand it state-wide," said Abbie Goodman, executive director of MOTT.

It occupies a wide strilp of land next to the "Memorial the popular war and peace museum opened by Presi- dent Mitterrand in 1988 which has since received more than 2 million visitors. Turning life into the Garden, visitors reach a stone terrace dominating the valley below. Set into the terrace, beside a mast flying the Canadian flag, are the names of all the Canadian military units (sea, land and air who fought in the Battle of Nor- mandie. The names of the 119 Nor- mandie towns where Cana- dian troops fought have been engraved on the ben- ches in the red maple tree grove. The terrace wall is composed of pale coloured Caen stone which has been fissured by a vertical black granite claw, symbolizing war. The Garden is a place to remember the young men who fought in Normandie at the site where they acted so bravely. With the fissured terrace the Garden's northern slope symbolizes their descent into the turmoil of war and danger. The grove on the southern side. conceived for quiet contemplation. symbolizes the peace they won for us all. The land for the Canadian Memorial Garden was made available by the Citv of Caen, and will be maintain- ed by the "NWnriorial".
