1186-87 Energy Report
Commended
The Board received the
19x6-87 Energy Report
from Superintendent of
Plant Jim Russell. Despite
the addition of 63 portables
one school and two addi-
tions to schools, total
energy use has dropped by
4.7%. the largest single
drop in the past ten years.
This represents a cost
avoidance of over $8
million for that penod of
Uwe. Nater consumption is
down 7.8% from the 1955-M
figures. The cost avoidance
in this area is almost
SM0.000 since the 1975-76
According to ALSBO's
Energy Consumption
Analysis Report for 1986.86.
the Durham Board has the
lowest equivalent kilowatt
hours per square metre in
comparison with other
school boards in the Cen-
tral Ontario area.
The Board congratulated
Jim Russell, his staff and
all custodial staff for the
excellent energy report. It
was noted that everyone in
the Durham Board system
should be proud of the pro-
gram and the benefits it
has realized over the years.

Struggling To Have Rezoning
by Joanne Kennedy -Flexr
Pickering residents. D. &
A. Adams of 1411 Rosebank
Rd. N. are struggling with
the Town of Pickering to
have their property re-
zoned as residential only.
since they plan to make it
their permanent hone.
Originally. the Adams'
property was zoned as part
R4 - one family detached
dwelling, fourth density
zone - and part C1 - local
commercial zone.
The Adams were
unaware of this when they
purchased the property
6-1 2 years ago. And they
only became aware of it
when they decided to make
additions to their house.
It is not clear to anyone
why the zoning boundary
was drawn right through
the property, which is
located on the east side of
Rosebank Rd. north of
Hwy. 2. But it is clear that
the Adams are determined
not to allow a misap-
propriated by-law to
change their lifestyle.
Adams stated to the com-
mittee that they are more
concerned with maintain-
ing the aesthetics of their
lifestyle, rather than
sacrificing it for a financial
status.
They realize that the pro-
perty may be worth more
with the Cl zoning, but they
have no intentions of utiliz-
ing its potential, other than
as a permanent dwelling.
Furthermore they are con-
cerned about the possibility
of a commercial facility be-
ing constructed adjacent to
their property.
Mr. Reed, president of
the Rosebank North Com-
munity, supported the
Adams by referring to the
Woodland Part B com-
................. ...............:::s•:

munity plan which has
designated the property in
question as "Residential
Medium Density I" and
".Special Policy Area".
As part of a "Special
Policy Area", the Adams'
property is considered part
of an older residential com-
munity selected to retain
its original attributes and
residential zoning.
Therefore, because it is
an unusual case the Adams
feel that they are entitled to
the rezoning necessary to
make the property con-
form, once again, to the
original plan.
However, the town is
having difficulty in agree-
ing with this proposal,
since the commercially
zoned property abutting it
may be directly affected if
the Adams' property is
rezoned.

Q. Where did Hugh Hefner get the idea to use a rabbit as the
symbol for Playboy? W.A.
A. Hugh Hefner was an editor for Childim's Activities in
1953 when he approached a designer named Arthur Paul
about starting a new magazine which he wanted to call Stag
Party.
Paul, though dishking the name, designed a sample issue
using a stag as the publication's symbol. But a few weeps
before they were scheduled to go into production, Hefner
got a letter from Stag magazine threatening a copyright in-
fringement suit. Hefner changed the name to his second
choice, Playboy, and asked Paul to design a new symbol.
Paul settled on a rabbit, "the playboy of the animal
world", and gave it a bow tie to suggest the sophisticated
urban reader they hoped to attract.
Except for the fust issue, the logo has appeared as a hid-
den element on every Playboy cover.
Q. Why do flies walk all over everything? H.R.
A. The housefly uses its feet to taste things to see if they are
good to eat. This unusual ability allows the fly to sample the
taste of something without putting it in its mouth. Each of
the fly's feet is covered with hundreds of tiny taste hairs.
The hairs have special cells which allow the fly to detect
substances in a manner similar to the way human taste
buds do. Unlike humans, however, flies also have cells that
detect water.
Only when the fly's feet tell its brain that a substance is
edible will it extend its long sucking mouthtube called a pro-
boscis.
Flies are not the only insects that taste their food with
their feet - many butterflies and bees also share this ability.
Q. Have there ever been any women pirates? A.R.
A. Certainly. Perhaps the woman pirate who operated on
the largest scale of all women pirates in history was
Madame Ching of China. Her ships sailed the Asian Coast in
the 1880's. At one time she commanded thousands of men
and women who served on her fleet of 500 junks.

Decisions Are Needed
By Bob Watson
The complete mess created by indecision at Queen's Park
over Boxing Day surely must be a scene that needs correc-
tion.
Most citizens to whom we speak believe that the Ontario
government should have come out with a definite day for
stores to be open for "Boxing Day Specials". We believe
that Saturday should have been designated and stores told
that Sunday was for family life.
Of course• when we have committed our province to some
insane belief that a Boxing Day holiday is a sort of
religious, untouchable holiday, we end up with the chaos
like this last weekend.
For those who don't know. Boxing Day was established in
Britain years ago when citizens gave boxes to their postal
workers, who were then delivering trail on Christmas Day,
as well as Boxing Day. Boxing Day is not a statutory holi-
day, but a large part of our population has it as a paid holi-
day.
However• we still believe that our provincial government
has the responsibility of making decisions on these issues•
and saying that it is up to the municipalities on store hours-
and
oursand holidays >c avoiding its responsibility.
IN
Naw about 20 years old a number of Ontario's first con-
dominium developments are in need of major renovations
and repairs. Home buyers stropping for resale condos
should check for signs of deterioration in "common" areas
such as parking lots and underground garages.
Market Value Assessment
Dear Sir:
The suburban municipalities should combine and proceed
to implememt Market Value Assessment. The inflated pro-
perty values should not be a case for paralysis. Inflation is
not confined to market value assessment. The averaged
overall assessment will still contribute to a fairer tax
burden distribution. We can show patience and tolerance
with Mayor Art Eggleton and Mayor Mel Lastsman if their
intent is to cushion the blow that concern should be extend-
ed to the overtaxed semior citizens and residents in our
municipalities.
However, if their action is just a stall, we should initiate
and show intent immediately to pursue an alternate course
of action to rectify the unjust present tax structure. if our
politicians cannot be counted on, Canadian Courts of
Justice should be called on to rectify this present injustice.
If we are forced to go this route we should be calling for full
past restitution.
Yours truly,
Mike Boychyn

Developers & Builders Urge
High Level Task Force
A high-level task force comprising representatives of the
private housing producer groups, government, labour, and
consumer organizations is urgently needed to cope with a
housing crisis in Ontario moving toward "unmanageable
proportions', according to the province's three major
private housing organizations.
The Fair Rental Policy Organization of Ontario (FRPO ),
the Urban Development Institute of Ontario ( UDI) and the
Ontario Home Builders' Association (OHBA) held a joint
news conference in which they released a letter sent to On-
tario Premier David Peterson urging such a task force. It
could work, said the letter to Mr. Peterson, with the govern-
ment's recently -established Housing First Committee of
Deputies to develop strategies to secure the future housing
needs of Ontario.
"For housing to be genuinely first, other issues must be
secondary," said John Bassel, chairman of the Fair Rental
Policy Organization of Ontario. "Policies from all areas of
government and from all levels of government must worst
toward that end, rather than contradict one another or
unreasonably inhibit the development of adequate,
reasonably -priced housing."
"The building and development industry has proven its
capacity to respond very quickly to changing market forces
and workable government initiatives." said Hugh Heron,
president of the Ontario Home Builders' Association.
"While the industry is capable of meeting an enormous
challenge given a clear direction, we cannot do so with con-
flicting policies, and unreasonable delays."
"Ibe planning process must be co-ordinated at all
levels," said Jahn Switzer, president of the Urban Develop-
ment Institute Ontario, "with the urgency and social con-
sensus that a crisis of this magnitude demands." All three
spokesmen stressed that while rent controls have dare
much to create the current crisis. many other issues must
be resolved in addition to that issue.
Among them is the near-total absence of moderately -
priced bouising. especially in urban areas. the deteriorating
rental housing stock. which the government itself estimates
will require about $10 billion to restore to acceptable stan-
dards. conflicting municipal, provincial and federal
government policies, and policies that discourage all forms
of residential constructiar: and the lack of low-cost rectal
accommodation for those who need it, while higher-incoare
tenants of rent-controded units are unmotivated to buy
homes of their own.
Other issues mentioned were the la& of targeted fman-
cial assistance for those in need of support for shelter.
unreasonable and artificial delays in the way of housing
construction: the use of building permits, lot kvies and
other fees as soaring government revenue sources which
drive tip housing prices. taxation policies at all government
levels which discourage housing construction or reduce the
amount of construction possible with existing available
capital: and a federal government White Paper on Tax
Reform which now threatens to devastate the industry's
capability to respond to the need for more housing.
All three levels of government." said the letter to
Premier Peterson, "have contributed to the establishment
of a market which is more or less irnflehcable and that. in
turn, has driven up prices...

The turn of the year is
traditionally the time for
making resolutions. We've
always felt that a deter-
mination to be or do better
can and should be made at
any time but the advent of
a new year does seem to be
a watershed time so why
not use it?
Perhaps you've decided
that this is the year to start
,getting a little culture.
Trouble is you've thought
that before and backed
away because culture is

ON YOUR TOES:
Ballet is our personal
favourite of the performing
arts and our own National
Ballet one of our favourite
companies. Its bedrock
foundation is in the classics
but it mounts a soupcon of
modernity to keep itself
fresh.
Even so, far and away its
most popular production is
the annual Christmas
presentation of The Nut-
cracker. Filled with the
joyous music of
Tchaikowsky, glorious sets
and superb choreography.
The :Nutcracker is an ideal
introduction to ballet.
It's currently in
residence at The O'Keefe
but will be there only until
this Sunday.
Now, we've saved the
very best for last. If you
can get tickets for this

mance: we repeat. if you

the one who is probably
responsible for the earth
shattering ticket sales is
good old, modest me.
Yes, we return to the
boards again this Saturday
in the pivotal role of one of
the stretcher bearers in the
battle scene.
Believe us when we say
that it's difficult to carry a
ballet on one's own but it's
even more difficult carry-
ing one's end of the stret-
cher particularly if it's the
front end.
Still, when the public is
clamouring for one, what is
one to do said he ever so
rhetorically. The answer of
course is simply to respond
to the call one more time
and hope one doesn't make
an absolute ass of oneself.

Now these are
not like the dull
study notes that
intended that such a novel
would be published; cer-
tainly not in his lifetime.
The publishers and he
would most likely have
gone bankrupt over lost
libel suits.
One supposes the book is
largely autobiographical
and that's all right; Capote
never made any secret of
his lifestyle. But some of
the people mentioned in the
story shoorasell wanted
their's kept secret. Mon-
tgomery Clift, Cole Porter,
Barbara Hutton, Joseph
Kennedy and others are all
crowded into these pages
and all of them in naughty
ways.
The only real life
character who comes out
looking good is the late
Cary Grant because he ge-
nuinely loved Barbara Hut-
ton and took no money
from her.
Truman Capote. as we
suggest. never intended
this "novel" to be finished
and we have an idea that he
might have been less than
satisfied with his writing
style throughout. Well.
where ever his shade might
be. we hope we can put it at
rest by stating that his
writing style is pure gold.

ample of good story telling
and fine writing technique.

III (Ballantine) has been
described by Time
magazine as "the ultimate
scrapbook” and indeed it
is.
It is a collection of quips,
anecdotes and quizzes cull-
ed from the anthologist's
apparent wide reading ex-
periences.
There are better books on
trivia but this one is plea-
sant for rushed reading on
public transit or for those
last few moments before
drifting off to sleep at
night. (We combine both
felicities by drifting off to
sleep on public transit.)
One chapter deals with
the last words of well
known personages. We
rather like those of Bren-
dan Behan ( Bryan, in-
cidentally, doesn't ap-
parently know or care to
mention that Behan died in
Toronto).
To the nun who was
bathing his forehead he
said "Thank you Sister.
May all your sons be

And we are much taken
with this little tidbit about
the French artist Gustave
Dor*. Over the entrance to
his villa he had these words
inscribed. Do. Mi. Si, La,

Now. let's get at those
books'.

Degrassi
High will
begin airing or new episodes
over CBC TV on Jan. 4th at
8:30 p.m. We're rather high
on this series, not just
because it's produced here
using local talent but also
because of the mature
themes it tackles.
There are times when it's
funny but often one can't
tell whether one is crying
tears of laughter or
chagrin. It's quite a show
and we recommend it as a
new year's viewing habit.
LAST WORDS:
When we were quite
young we read a book titled
The Chinese Room by Vi-
vian Connell. It was a
dreadful book in retrospect
but it was considered quite
spicy for the time and that
was probably why we read
it.
Anyway, there was one
statement in that has
stayed with us through the
years. It is that there are
two things that cannot be
dammed up; mountain
water and one's heritage.
We cannot verify the
former but we can attest to
the latter. Our blood is
Scottish and like most
Scots we regard Haugh ma
nai with something akin to
awe. We expect that mid-
night tomorrow we shall
shed a few tears over the
sorrows and disappoint-
ments of the old year, smile
over the good ones and
prepare with confidence
for the new year.
And, of course, we will
have listened to Peter
Dawson singing The
Miner's Dream of Home . .
The log was burning bright-
ly, 'Twas a night that
should banish all sin. For
the bells were ringing the

Year in.

BREAD BAKING BASICS:
LESSON 5
Even the best bakers occa-
sionally experience a baking fail-
ure. Here are some common
causes of trouble and advice
from the experts at the
FLEISCHMANN'S Yeast Test
Kitchen.
*Adding too much flour when
Rereading. The dough should be
soft and slightly sticky; too
much flour will result in a stiff
dough or a dry, dense bread.
• Under -kneading the dough by
hand; or over -kneading the
dough in a food processor (60
seconds maximum), yields a
loaf with a dry crumb. Follow
ea.pe directions.
0 Water temperature too warm
or too cool for activating the
yeast; bread won't rise.
• Rising time was too long if
bread falls flat and the crumb is
doughy.
• Baking time was too short if a
good crumb is evident, but
bread has a doughy center.
w Fra form dough risk spread-
ing too much when rising if
dough is too soft. They should
be firm when shaped.
The Perfect Loaf
While every loaf of home-
made bread possesses individual
characteristics, here are some
guidelines to use as a compari-
son for signs of a well -[Wade
loaf.
LOAF: Take a look at the
loaf as a whole. It should be
symmetrical with a well-
rounded, smooth top.
CRUST: The color should be
warm, rich and even. Careless
brushing when glazing will re-
sult in an uneven crust color.
CRUMB: Once the loaf has

Will My Poinsettia Bloom Again?
Poinsettias require
special are to bring them
ilhto bloom. This is best
done in commercial
gm"diouses where pr's
control conditions are
maintained. However, you
might like to experiment
with this simplified hor-
ticultural procedure in
your home-
y. Beginning about October
1, keep the plant in total
darkness for 14 hours every
night for about 10 weeks.
This an be done by setting
it in a closet, or by covering
it with a large cardboard
box each night from 5 p.m.
to 7 a -m.
i Night temperatures dur-
ing this period should be
62OF to 67°F.
Temperatures below 6VF
at night may Guise a delay
in blooming time.
Ask Your Pharmacist

Foot problems can make
your life miserable. So
don't take your feet for
granted. Many common
foot problems can result
from poorly hitting shoes,
poor circulation, unevenly
trimmed toenails and
disease.
Check your feet regular-
ly or have them checked by
a member of your family.
Checkups can be important
in the early diagnosis of
many illnesses, including
diabetes.
Standing up and stret-
ching, walking and other
for•nis of exercise help to
improve the circulation of
blood to the feet. Gentle
massage and warm foot
baths can also help.
Circulation is reduced by
exposure to cold
temperatures, smoking,
wading or bathing in cold
water, pressure on the feet
from shoes, and long
periods of sitting or
resting.
Choose shoes with tippers
made of soft, flexible
material whiich allow the
shoe to conform to the
shape of your foot. leather
shoes let the feet "breathe"

Breakwater Repairs At Bluffers
A federal contract valued at $73.525 has been awarded for
Forand Marine and Construction Co. Limited of Toronto,
for repairs to the breakwater at Bhiffers' Park Marina in
Scarborough. The contract award was announced by Reg
Stackhouise, MP Scarborough West, on behalf of the Hou.
Tam Siddon, Minister of Fisheries and Oceans.
The work is part of a 5100,000 breakwater repair project
announced in November. Plans call for repairs to the ar-
mor layer on the breakwater. Construction is expected to
start shortly.
Strong Markets Forecast in 1988
Growth in the national economy and acceptable interest
rates are expected to continue to stimulate home buying ac-
tivity across the country in 1968, according to Canada's
leading realtor.
"We fed there will be little or no negative impact on
either the economy or residential real estate markets as a
result of the stock market correction in October." says Oz-
zie Juarock, Preskd Royal LePage Residential Real
Estate Services, "so there's every reason to expect a good
real estate market next year.'
Lions Clubs Annual Telethon
Metro Toronto lions Clubs have joined forces with Chan-
ad
hao-rid 47 Cable 4 to stage a Telethon for its favourite projects -
Canine Vision Canada, the training of guide dogs for visual-
ly impaired Canadians, and its many other community ser-
vice projects on Sat. Jan. 23rd from 6 p.m. to 2 a.m.
The L m s Foundation of Canada undertook the task of
developing a national guide dog training school in 1983. The
school, located in Oakville, is designed to eventually train
12() teams a year: One on one intensive training sessions
that last 30 days, teach both student and guide dog to in-
stinctively help each direct the other through busy intersec-
tions and hard -to -maneuver places.
Export Deal With Vermont
Ontario Hydro and the Vermont Department of Public
Service have reached agreement on a five year electricity
export deal.
Ontario Hydro will make available up to 73 megawatts of
firm power and energy. Vermont will arrange to transmit
the power from the Ontario border to the State of Vermont.
Under the terms of the contract, Vermont will have the op-
tion to increase this quantity by an additional 39
megawatts, for a maximum total of 112 megawatts. The
gross revenue over the term of the contract is estimated to
be near si6o million Canadian.
PCB Processing Unit Approved
The Ministry of Environment has granted Ontario Hydro
all necessary approvals for operation of its Mobile PCB
Processing Unit. the unit, housed in a tractor trailer,
removes low level PCBs from insulating oils.
The mobile processing unit was built by Enervac of Cam-
bridge, Ontario to Hydro's specifications and was delivered
to Hydro for testing in October, 1984. The chemical process
treats low-level PCBs in insulating oil used in transformers,
turning them into common salt and other harmless by-
products. The process allows the insulating oil to be reused
rather than destroyed. Use of the mobile unit to treat oil on
site reduces the need to transport contaminated oil.

Billion Mind Link
At noon Greenwich time
on Dec. 31, 1987, people in
more than 100 countries
paused for an hour in time
to participate in the second
annual World Healing Day
- which its organizers say
would be the most powerful
affirmation of peace and
goodwill in history.
While the media reported
worldwide participation of
up to 400 million for the
Dec. 31st, 1986 event, the
'87 goal is no less than one
billion.
The majority of in-
dividuals and organiza-
tions involved in this an-
nual activity are operating

structure, or fund-raising
activities.
The commission is simp-
ly a grass roots nwvement
launched by The Quartus
Foundation in Austin,
Texas as a way of uniting
people in a cooperative ef-
fort for responsible action,
peace, and world harmony.
According to Barbara
Douthitt, Commission
Coordinator at Quartus, the
purpose of the global mind -
link is to create greater
understanding and mutual
trust among people in all
nations.
"We want to
demonstrate that a suffi-
cient number of world
citizens can gather in a
common bond to demand
an end to hostilities,
hunger. poverty, and the
subjugation of individual
freedom," Douthitt said.
Quartus directors made
the first formal announce-
ment of the Commission on
Jan. 1, 1984, with the stated
objective of having 500
million people consenting
to peace on earth and the
healing of this world - with
a minimum of 50 million
joining in the mind -link at
the same hour in time.
Dec. 31, 1986 was
designated as the first
"World Healing Day" and
noon Greenwich was
selected as the hour in
order to encompass all
time zones during that 24
hour period.
Douthitt noted that the
goal of one billion
represents about twenty
percent of the global
population, "a task force
with an attitude of mind
that must be recognized by
world leaders.
Remember that it was
president Eisenhower who
said in 1959 that "people in
the long run are going to do

If you were asked for the three words that elicit the most
emotional response during this festive time of the year,
what would you answer? "Peace On Earth", ..Happy New

materialistic side of the Christmas season. For those Cana-
dians, the three little words that corse to mind are "Bat-
teries not included-. Statistics Canada's Family Expen-

Day Care Plan
a Betrayal
The federal government's re-
cently announced national day cane
program is irresponsible, insulting and
discouraging and represents a betrayal
of the Conservative government's
mandate.
The program is irresponsible be-
cause Canada can't afford it. Never-
theicss, the federal government bowed
to pressure and committed to spend
5.4 billion taxpayers' dollars over the
next seven years on the program. The
provinces will spend billions of tax-
payers' dollars on top of that.
This program represents a major
federal government spending initia-
tive despite deep concerns in Western
countries over large budgetary defi-
cits. The recent "Black Monday"
stock market crash focussed that con-
cern on the huge US budget deficit.
National Debt
Canada's national debt, however,
stands at $264 billion which is more
than 50% higher than that of the
United States, proportionately. On
average, every man, woman and child
in Canada owes $10,564 as a result of
federal government debt. The tax load
on ordinary Canadians is increasing
every year just to finance this massive
debt. In fact, the interest which the
federal government must pay annually
on the debt takes one in every three
tax dollars. The costly day care pro-
gram is going to increase that burden
and push all Canadians even further
into debt.
The program is insulting because
of the fatuous argument which Em-
ployment Minister Benoit Bouchard
used when he defended the day care
program by saying it would create
40,000 new jobs. He must realize that
the billions of dollars needed to "cre-
ate" those jobs will be taken from
productive taxpayers. Left in the
hands of taxpayers, that same money
could generate 50 to 60 thousand jobs
in the private sector. In effect, the day
care program could actually result in a
net loss of jobs.
Fatal Orsession
The program is discouraging be-
cause once again the federal govern-
ment has shown its fatal obsession
with the "sacred trust" of universality
in social programs. Instead of target-
ing only the truly needy, the program
will result in childless middle class
taxpayers subsidizing daycare for
those in upper income brackets.
This day care program is sym-
bolic of what is wrong with the
government of Prime Minister Mulro-
ney. He was elected in 1984 while
promising "real change" from the big
government, free -spending days of
Pierre Trudeau.
Prime Minister Mulroney's day
care program, however, will mean
bigger government, an increased na-
tional debt and a reliance on expen-
sive, intellectually bankrupt concepts
like universality. This program repre-
sents a betrayal of those Canadians
who expected the PCs to provide
principled, conservative leadership.

A put option gives the
holder the right to sell a
particular stock or a group
of stocks at today's price
one to two or three months
hence.
"If you, as an investor,
feel that the market is
about to fall - and a few
sophisticated investors did
prior to the October
downturn - and wanted
some protection but did not
wish to sell your stocks
because you bought them
as a long-term investment,
you could have accomplish-
ed this by simply buying
put options, as insurance to
protect your portfolio.
"There is no dollar for
dollar protection but
through the effective use of
puts, any investor can
capitalize on a correction
or downturn by using these
contingent trading
strategies.
"Should the price of that
stock or index drop - as
they did in October - then
the investor to whom you
Don't Drink & Drive
sold the put :;ption would be
required to I_ 'r '.hat stock
or index from you a a pre-
arranged level."
In effect, says Chen, the
other person is betting that
a certain stock or the
market is not going to fall
and you're betting that it is.
Depending on the
premium and how much
protection you're prepared
to buy, a put option can be
good for one, two or three
months. It can be longer
but the price of the put
might nullify its advan-
tage.
"All you're doing is ren-
ting the opportunity of sell-
ing your stock at today's
price two or three months
from now. It's like renting
an apartment. The longer
you rent. the more it wz)1
cost."
Cost of put options usual-
ly ranges from one-half to
one percent of the value of
the stock or portfolio. Size
doesn't matter and, he
notes, the opportunity is
available to everyone who
invests in the market.

Scarborough Planning Department
1. Rolland Paper Inc. Application for Commercial Use
2 Official Plan and Zoning By-law Review of Lawrence
Avenue East from Crockford Boulevard to
Birchmount Road
Scarborough Planning Department is reviewing an application for
the Rolland Paper Inc. site at 2131 Lawrence Avenue East for the devel-
opment of a food store at 3674 m2 (40,000 sq. ft.), other retail and
service uses of 34W m2 (38,000 sq. ft). and offices of 1858 m2 (2o.00o
sq. ft.). The Official Plan and Zoning By-law prowde for industrial uses.
You are inv"od to a presentation and discussion of this proposal at
the Wexford Collegiate auditorium on Thursday, January 7, 1988, at
7:30 p.m.
Comments from the public are also invited at this meeting with
respect to a review now being undertaken by Planning Staff of the
Official Plan policies and Zoning By-laws for the Lawrence Avenue
East corridor in the Wexford Industrial District. This includes both
sides of Lawrence Avenue from west of Crockford Blvd. to Birchmount
Road. The original industrial character of this area has been modified
by the introduction of non -industrial uses. Applications now under
review by the City or pending, if approved, would remove the remaining
industrial uses.
Issues which are apparent in the review of these applications are
the City's policies regarding preservation of industrial land, the
creation of employment, and the impact on existing commercial busi-
nesses along Lawrence Avenue.
Copies of the Rolland proposal and the Study Terms of Reference
will be available at the meeting or from the Planning Department, 150
Borough Drive. Written submissions, directed to the Commissioner of
Planning, should be received by January 15, 1988.
If you require additional information or clarification, please call
Lorne Ross at 396.7035 or David Beasley at 396-7026.

Report
from Norah Stoner 11111111M %I=
MPP Durham West lw� ! MW
During the Holiday Season we are reminded, perhaps
more than at any other time during the year, of the tragic
results of drinking and driving. It's estimated that alcohol
plays a role in about 50% of all fatal traffic accidents.
The Province of Ontario is taking an active part in the
fight against drinking and driving. The Drinking Driving
Countermeasures Office of the Ministry of the Attorney
General spearheads the efforts of several ministries of the
government in this area.
The Countermeasures unit was formed in September of
1983 to act as a co-ordinating office at the provincial level to
oversee and assist long-term community-based programs
to combat the drinking and driving problem.
COUNTERMEASURES INITIATIVES
Among the initiatives of the office is an advertising cam-
paign in which several htmdred thousand dollars is spent
each year on radio and television advertising to promote
awareness of the issue.
The countermeasures office has also initiated or assisted
a number of other areas, including an award-winning film
"Make Sure It Isn't You", and Arrive Alive, a summer
awareness program, first run in 1986. It employs students to
spread the anti -drinking and driving message through pro -
gams designed by the students themselves.
A variety of promotional and awareness items are
available through the countermeasures office free of
charge to the public including window decals with the
slogan "Only You Can Stop Drinking and Driving" as well
as buttons. posters, pamphlets and films.
A three-day conference sponsored by the office recently
held in Toronto featured the Hat. Joan Smith, Ontario's
Solicitor General, as one of its guest speakers. Mrs. Smith
repeated the Liberal Goverameat's commitment to reduc-
ing the incidence of impaired driving.
She said the government will work to make the Ontario
Provincial Police RIDE (Reduce Impaired Driving
Everywhere) program a year-round province -wide opera-
tion and is looking for ways to provide financial support for
mu rucipal police RIDE programs.
Provincially in addition to Canntermeasures and the
OPP. the Addiction Research Foundation of Ontario. an
agency of the province, has initiated programs aimed at
reducing drinking and driving.
ARF also hands out annual Provincial Awards of Distinc-
tion in honour of outstanding contributions to the addiction
field. A recipient this year was Jahn Bates. co-founder and
president of PRIDE (People to Reduce Impaired Driving
Everywhere) in Ontario.
VOLUNTEER.% COMMENDED
I commend the work of volunteer anti -drinking and dniv-
ing groups such as PRIDE and SADD (Students Against
Driving Drunk i -
High schools in Ajax and Pickering have SADD chapters.
At Ajax High School• the student co-ordinators are Brenda
Galloway and Cheryl Black while the student heading up
SADD at Pickering High School is Kern Wood. The SADD
chapter at Denis O'Connor High School in Ajax was in-
itiated by students Alana Blaekall and Andrea Cavaktzzo.
At Harwood Secondary School m Ajax the student co-
ordinators
o-
o dinatos are Sean Kennedy and Lisa Burden. The SADD
chapter at Dunbarton High School in Pickering will be star-
ting up again with the second semester in February.
It is through the continued combined efforts of govern-
ment. the police. citizens' and students' groups and the
general public that we will lower. and someday hopefully
eliminate, the deaths and injuries on our roadways caused
by drunk drivers.
I urge you not to drink and drive please, and have a safe
and happy festive season.

Ontario Riding
As the House recesses for a short time over Christmas,
Members of Parliament will be able to travel home to take
part in festivities at home or in the Riding. I know I will be
spending a busy holiday with my family and friends, par-
ticipating in Christmas celebrations and New Year's events
in the Riding, as well as the momentous Olympic Torch
Route Relay and Celebration '88 Awards Ceremonies in
Pickering, Whitby and Ajax.
Christmas is a time when we put aside our differences,
whatever they may be, and open our hearts and homes to
our family and friends. It is the time for all of us to reflect
on the past year's events and accomplishments, and also to
take the time to set our priorities for the new year.
I would like to thank you for letting me be your represen-
tative in Ottawa, and also for being a part of the historic
events which have recently occurred. My warmest wishes
for a happy and safe holiday. Merry Christmas and Happy
New Year.
