Plimpton opened several roller rinks to popularize his new form of amusement. Q. When was ice cream invented' R.G. A. Ice cream dates back to biblical times and it certainly was known to wealthy Romans who imported snow especially from the mountains for their treats. A variety of flavors was not available to the cone non man until Howard Johnson's introduced 28 flavors in 1928. In North America vanilla is still the most popular flavor, followed by chocolate and strawberry. The Neopolitan variety is a combination of vanilla, chocolate and strawberry.

The original motion called for a ban on smoking in board buildings by Sept. 1988 and on board property by Sept. 1989. Now, in- dividual secondary school principals will be able to determine whether or not to allow designated exter- nal smoking areas at their schools. By June, 1986, each prin- cipal will have prepared a long-range plan of action to develop strategies to achieve a smoke-free generation. Each plan will incorporate general guidelines developed by the Durham Secondary School Principals' and Vice - Principals' Association. Training will be provided for selected school staff in order to develop cessation programs for students. Curricular approaches to the topic will be reassessed with a view to both strengthening and broadening the program.

Mar. 2. 1988 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Kill Bill C-72 by Bob Watson There is a growing tide of discontent among Canadians who have had the chance to look at a proposed Bill C-72 which is on the verge of government approval in the House of Commons. This legislation would impose compulsory bilingualism throughout the whole of Canada which will require tremen- dous financial costs to print everything in both languages everywhere in the country. A number of Progressive Con- servative MPs are against the bill but not enough to kill it. Just to make Bill C-72 even less palatable Quebec Premier Robert Bourassa is quoted fresh from a Quebec provincial Liberal party convention where the subject of one language ( French) in Quebec was not even mentioned that "English-speaking Quebecers would rather live with unilingual French public signs than risk civil unrest". There it is! Quebec and the French language is going to dominate regardless of what English-speaking Canadians say. Some democracy! And Mr. Bourassa lives in a dream world if he thinks that he can maintain a rigid one language culture in Quebec and then force the rest of us to be bil- ingual everywhere. If the PCs want to stay in power after the next election. they better get Bill C-72 off the booms fast. And we might add that Premier Peterson should reconsider his idea of "official" bilingualism for Ontario - it's too costly.

The pian by the Canadian Union of Postal Waters to use 32 million in waters' forced dues to campaign against 49 MPs in the next federal election is an outrageous affront to democracy in Canada. An a%viwhelnung majority of Canadians - including members of canonized households - oppose the use of faced .num dues for political purposes. polls have repeatedly shown. On July 4. 1996 Justice White of the Supreme Court of On - taro ruled in my favour when he decided that "the use of compulsory dues for purposes other than collective bargaining and collective agreement administration can - riot be justified in a free and democratic society, where the individual objects to such use". I've urged federal Labour Minister Pierre Cadieux to live up to the splint of Justice White's decision by amending labour law without delay. I ask your readers, if they agree with rue, to urge him likewise. Sincerely.

The federal government's concern for high school drop- outs ropouts is demonstrated by the $4 million kxrewse of hurling for WOW (Work Orientation Workshops) projects, totalling $12 million for this year. WOW provides potential early school -leaves with guidance and job experience to help them develop education and employment plans. This in- itiative is implemented in partnership with the private sec- tor and or comma tuty organizations. social service agen- cies. and following provincial consultation, edtratiooal in- . The entrepreneurial potential of students is encouraged through the provision of Challenge '88 funds to support loan guarantees allowing students to manage and operate small businesses. Student Business Loons is based on and, where appropriate, meshed with the successful use of this ap p1l by a number of provinces. The other components of Challenge include the Business Drive for Jobs and efforts by federal de partner and agencies to create career -related summer jobs from within their own resources. in 1987, more than 88,000 jobs were created through the overall Challenge Program - Flags - The Game ..Flags - The Game", an exciting geography game, was launched recently at the Harbour Castle Westin Hotel.

Electricity Demand Ontario customers used 11.5 billion kibwatt-hours of elec- tricity in December. up 1.2 percent from the same month last year. Peak demand for the month was reached an Dec. 15 at 20.5 million kilowatts, down 0.4 percent from the same month in 1986. Exports Earn Income Electricity sales to the United States were stronger in 1967 than anticipated. Electricity exports last year were over seven percent higher than in 1986 and double the ex- port forecast made that year. These sales, amounting to 6.5 billion kilowatt-hours, earn- ed over $61 million in revenues for Ontario electricity customers. Export sales continue their strong trend this year, and during the month of January, 494 million kilowatt-hours were sold to U.S. utilities, earning over $8 million in revenues. Concern About University Enrolment The Council of Ontario Universities is expressing concern that without additional government support Ontario univer- sities will find it very difficult to accommodate this year's tremerudous increase in secondary school applicants. So far 5000 additional Grade 13 students have submitted applications to the Ontario Universities' Application Cen- tre " said Professor Harry Arthurs, Chairman of COU. This increase in numbers steins in limited part from students completing high school in four years rather than five under the reformed OS: IS curriculum (Ontario Schools: in- termediate and Senior) .

The study was proposed by planing staff because of a number of develop- ment applications within the Centennial Industrial District which takes in the area bounded by Lawrence Ave. E., the lake and Highland Creek. The Manville property is currently being rehabilitated. Soil con- taminated by asbestos is being removed to special holding lagoons and covered over to prevent further contamination. Area residents objected to the study saying they want the land left in- dustrial. Companies in the area also spoke out against the study which could possibly redesignate it for other uses such as residen- tial. They said they have no intention of moving and want to be left alone. They also warned committee that allowing residential to be built next to industrial uses is inviting conflict bet- ween the two uses. Scuttling the study means applications will continue to be considered on a site by site basis. The application for rezoning to residential are by Marra Properties Ltd. which bought 75 acres from Celebrate Art Days Guest artists and Scar- borough Board of Educa- tion art teachers will work with students at Pauline Johnson Junior Public School on Mar. 29 and 30 as the school celebrates Art Days.

POST Wed. Mar. 2, 1888 Bill Watt's Worlds AT THE BALLET The National Ballet's concluding presentation of its mid -winter engagement at The O'Keefe was an evening of three short works. The evening of our atten- dance began inauspiciously with Components, choreography by John McFall to the music of John Adams' "Shaker fps.. We read, present tense, that Components is a plotless work for 27 dancers set to a hypnotical- ly evolving score. Uh, huh. To us it's A Chorus Line on acid dancing to the music of Orange Blossom Special played on a stetch- ed tape. The score is rather more boring than hypnotic and the choreography rather more indulgent than entertaining. The principals give it the college try - why not? the work is sophomoric - but even the considerable talents of Owen Montague. Yoko [chino. Gizella Witkowski. Kim Lightheart and Rex Harrington couldn't make Components appear to be anything more than the work of an un- disciplined talent (McFall's) inflicted on an audience expecting more and better. To compound things, the male corps seemed to be having an off night to end all off nights. Charity demands that their names not be given but one longed to give their individual components, individual kicks in the butt! The second work was the premiere of Luc Amyot's latest work. Reminiscence. It is a two put work set to the sob piano playing of Prokofiev's Piano Sonata No.7. Opus 83. The title seems to refer to the memory or reverie of post coital bliss. Gizella Witkowski appears fust wearing what can only be described as a red teddy. She is also wearing red high heeled shoes and the combined effect of satin and spikes is erotic in the extreme. Then. she starts to dance. Well, perhaps dance is not the correct word. let one suggest that she wntbes rhythmically and poetical- ly in a manner rather more reminiscent of Lady Chat- terley than Billy Minsky. Good choreography it is not: suggestive movement it most definitely is. Then she is joined - in the literary sense. initially - by Owen Montague clad in blue jeans and undershirt. He dances for her and they then "dance" together in the biblical sense of the word. In solo or together the dancers create an effect that is more or less tastefully erotic. (We notic- ed at least two couples who did not wait for the final work of the evening.) In the creation of Reminiscence, Luc Amyot has been influenced either directly or subliminally by Roland Pettit and we can say only bravo and, hopefully, encore. Compliments as well to young Miss Dana Lam, the onstage pianist. Prokofiev is not the easiest of the composers to present solo yet Miss Lam achieved the difficult distinction of not only making it fall pleasantly upon the ear but of imparting to it a rhythmn that we suggest the composer himself could not have done. A fine work and we repeat that we look for- ward to an encore perfor- mance soon. The final work was The Dream to the music of Mendelssohn-Bartholdy and, as always, it was a pleasure. What joy to witness the return of Veronica Tennant as Titania! The lady con- tinues to impress more and more every time we see her. As Titania. she is quite proper[y a queen but she is also a woman in love with and eventually subservient to her husband, the satur- nine Oberon, acted nicely by John A[kyne. Even so. she manages an erotic pas de deux with Bottom, the literal ass danced impec- cably as always by Jacques Gorrisen. Kim Lightheart reminds one that she is well named as she continues to broaden her c000edic skills. this time in the role of Helena. Yet, as a true artist. she newer allows the opportuni- ty for an audience chuckle to deter from her fine danc- ing. Superb bouate! David Roxander was Puck and we can pay no finer compliment than to state that it would be dif- ficult to imagine anyone else in the role. All in all. an excellent evening. As always we find ourself waiting impatiently for the return engagement in the Spring. FOOTNOTE: This June, the National Ballet will be performing in California. While in las Angeles. the company will be entertained by Miss Peggy Lee. We suspect the fine hand of ace publicist and our ballet partner Gino Empry in this.

PARTY TIME: Polygrand Developments of Hong Kong are the new owners of the Essex Park Hotel and we were there recently as their guest, among others, to celebrate the Chinese New Year 4624. It was quite a party, replete with fine food and drink, excellent entertain- ment and delightful little gift laisees. The E.P. has always been a favourite spot of ours. Now, it appears it's going to be even better. ON RECORD: While at the party we were lucky enough to speak with the pianist Catherine Wilson. She is a beautiful and charming lady who can light up a room by her beauty and charm alone. But. she has even more going for her. she is an ex- cellent pianist with a touch that is precise and sure but above all else, loving. Miss Wilson kindly presented us with a cassette entitled Rags To Riches t Fanfare t on which she and John Arpin play classic and, dare we say it? classical ragtime. Our fondness for ragtime is well known and we have always enjoyed twin pianos. Never. however, have we heard ragtime played by duo -pianists. What a delight' Composers include Eubie Blake. Joplin, Lamb and Mr. Arpin himself. All of the selections are en- joyabhe but our favourite was one by two composers not usually associated with ragtime. We refer to Rialto Ripples by George Ger- shwin and Walter Donaldson. The recordit was done in Timothy Eaton Memorial Church and the sound is just first rate. This is a first rate cassette as well. one wtuch we hugely enjoy .. and not just because it brings beck a beautiful woman to the mind's eye. SHOW BIZ: We have often stated that show business is 50% show and 50% business. We had an excellent example of that at the same party. Talking with Charles Cutts. the genial General Manager of The O'Keefe we learned that when he left the party be was on his Going to Irl ] Heading to Florida this winter?

IN PRINT: Possibly you've seen Girls in Suits at Lunch on the Arts and Entertain- ment cable network. It is a one act play featuring the conversation of modern women as they lunch. Well, authoress Deanne Stillman has fleshed that one act trifle into a more or less book length trifle in which she has created several characters who mouth her views on con- tempory life and its morals. It's amusing enough but there's nothing of any substance in it. Moreover, it's dreadfully written and one wonders at the loose editing. To be fair, we've read an uncorrected proof and one hopes that the final docu- ment to be released in April by Dolphin/ Doubleday will have corrected some of Ms. Stillman's excesses of language. Since this is an uncor- rected proof, we may not quote directly. We can however, suggest that Ms. Stillman or her editors look up the correct meaning of the word Guy. It is most certainly not a synonym for man unless, of course, one lives on Grubstreet. And, oh yes, there really are several words that can be used to describe the sex act other than the ex- ecrable four letter one that rhymes with buck, duck, luck et a]. Enough Ms. Stillman! A writer of your apparent calibre doesn't need to sacrifice standards even when writing trifles. Consider Sale. BILLY D.

Report From Parliament by Scott Fennell, MP Ontario On Feb. 10th, Finance Minister Michael Wilson presented this government's fourth budget, and as anticipated, there were no major surprises. In his last budget, Michael Wilson announced that the deficit would be cut to $29.3 billion. This target has been achieved. For the first time since 1945, the deficit has declined four years in a row. In 1984, the federal deficit and the national debt were out of control. The deficit was more than $38 billion, up from $11.5 billion in 1979. The national debt had more than doubl- ed in the same period If we had continued to pile up the public debt at the same rate, today the debt would now be more than $100 billion higher. In this budget, the Minister announced government spen- ding cuts of more than $300 million beginning in 1999-90. To raise revenues, the tax on gasoline, excluding diesel fuel, will be increased by one cent per litre effective April 1, 1986. The rebate on gasoline purchased by farmers, fishermen and other primary producers will be increased by this amount. There are no major personal income tax changes in this budget. On January lst of this year, major reforms to our tax system went into effect. More than eight out of ten Households will see their personal income tax reduced, and approximately 850,000 lower-income individuals will have their income tax reduced to zero. Almost nine out of ten Canadians aged 65 and over will have income tax reductions. The Canadian economy Has entered its sixth con- sectuive year of expansion. Our economy continues to be strong. Employment will continue to grow faster than the labour fore. resulting in a continuing decline in unemployment. It is estimated that the economy will grow by a further 2.8 percent in real terms this year, and by 3 percent in M. This budget demonstrates that we are on track. and that we will stay an tract. With a strong economy and fiscally responsible management• we will build a better future for our children and grand- children. Health Risks Higher For Women The facts are staggering. Heavy smokers, particularly young women, pay a high price for their smoking. In addition to double the risk of lung cancer and heart disease, women smokers are likely to suffer a "million and one more ills" than their non-smoking counterparts. Consider these facts: • 3 times as much emphyse- ma and chronic bronchitis • 75 per cent more chronic .:i nusitis • 50 per cent more peptic ulcers • more difficulty conceiving • carly menopause • higher incidence of osteoporosis • increased risk of strokes when combined with birth control pills • lung cancer will soon kill more Canadian women each year than breast cancer Experts say that women smoke for different reasons than men. Women are more likely to smoke to cope with frustration and anger or to relieve the stress of balancing both family and job responsi- bilities Still others claim that smoking keeps them slim and glamorous. Dr. Andrew Pipe, Co - Chairman of Physicians for A Smoke -Free Canada, advises women who want to quit to visit their family physician. "They can work together as a 'quitting team to overcome nicotine addiction," he says. He suggests a family "quit- ting team" as an added bit of support. "Making a pact with her children, her husband or even her parents, reinforces a womans commitment to stop smoking," he says. "If quit- ting becomes a family affair, everyone breathes easier." Wed. Mar. 2, 19M THE POST Page 7 Stoner Report From Queen's Park The Ontario Government has taken another significant step toward its goal of making the Reduce Impaired Driv- ing Everywhere (R.I.D.E.) program a year-round, province -wide effort. Solicitor General Joan Smith recently announced that let- ters have been sent to all municipal police forces around Ontario asking them to submit proposals for receiving special one-time R.I.D.E. funding. Mrs. Smith said, "This funding program begins this spr- ing and offers one-time financial assistance to municipalities which want to establish or enhance R.I. D.E. enforcement activities." She added that municipal police forces can apply for fun- ding in either 1988 or '89 to cover such casts as staff over- time, purchasing equipment and the promotion of the R.LD.E. enforcement activities. The Solicitor General said 82 million will be devoted to the program over the next two years and the Ministry hopes to start dispensing the money by the end of April. This program is just pert of the Ministry of the Solicitor General's R.I.D.E. initiative as it continues its efforts to win the war against impaired driving. we will be purchasing new capabilities staff at Ce t and enhancing theCentre of Forensic Science to deal with R.I.D.E. - related issues like breathalyzer training and evidence. "And we are well on our way to creating special six - officer R.I.D.E. teams for all sixteen Ontario Provincial Police districts," Mrs. Smith said. She added those 96 O.P.P. officers will deal solely with R.I.D.E. The Solicitor General said, "The annualized price tag of these efforts will be approximately $6 million dollars but it will be money well spent." Mrs. Smith said she's delighted her Ministry's new in- itiatives will allow it to hammer home year-round the message that it's just plain foolish to take a chance by drinking and driving. Statistics on police R.I.D.E. checks and regular patrols from this past holiday season illustrate the success of such programs as R.I. D.E. Between November 15th and January 9th, O.P.P. officers checked 369,403 motorists and charged 1,683 with alcohol- related driving offences. This compares with 1,812 of the 357,167 drivers checked in the 1986187 holiday season being charged. "The people of Ontario have made it abundantly clear that they support our efforts to reduce drinking and driving. All over the province, community groups have devoted long hours to the struggle to change public attitudes," Mrs. Smith said. She expressed gratitude to the groups and said she hoped the Government's new initiative will encourage them to work even harder.

Don't Drink & Drive travel[J I Liked Bangkok by Audrey Purkiss My husband and I recent- ly returned from a trip to Bangkok and Hong Kong. In this column I will deal specifically with Bangkok, giving a few of my impres- sions of the people, the city and the sites. We stayed at the beautiful Shangn-La Hotel on the Chao Phya River with wonderful views of tropical gardens. Bangkok, sometimes thought of as the hottest ci- ty in the world (temperatures in Bangkok are often in the 90's and rarely below 85F), is a city of contradictions - orchids and mud, monks and bumper stickers, elephants and microchips, traffic and silence, overwhelming shyness and raw sexuality, white rice and red pepper. There is a year-round profusion of orchids in Thailand with 40 or 50 varieties of blossoms in every conceivable colour. Wherever you look around Bangkok you see the little orchids growing in pots and gardens and odd motinds of earth by dirty canals. Emery evening there is a fresh orchid on our pillow and fresh orch uls in a vase in our morn. '[here are many things to see and do around Bangkok but I will limit myself to my own favorites. 1 liked many things in and around the city. but best of all I like the Thai people. There's a gentleness about them and a total lack of hostility. The traffic in Bangkok is bad. but unlike New York, Paris, Rome or any other big city in the world, in Bangkok the silence is deafening: nobody toots his horn and nobody, shoots. People are content to sit and wait. I like the gilded spires and beautifully decorated pavilions of the Grand Palace, a compound con- taining among other things, the Wat Phra Kaeo ( Temple of the Emerald Buddha) in use today as the Royal T� The Temple of the This Advertising space costs $12. per week 1 1'�tA�Tl:I.

Fd. to a m- 5 0 m saturdava Emerald Buddha is one of the great sights of Asia. The Emerald Buddha sits high on a golden altar, the air around it heavy with the scent of floral offerings and burning sticks. It plays a vital role in the lives of the Thais and is considered the country's most sacred Bud- dha. I like the monks with shaved heads and flowing saffron robes who walk through the streets of the city. They are poor for religious reasons, having cast aside all worldly possesions in emulation of the Buddha. I like the bright little col- ourful sprit houses seen everywhere in the city, in front yards and next to of- fice buildings. The hhouses placed thereto keep away evil spirits and attract good ones, and food is left in them daily, special food on special occasions. I like the freshly thread- ed garlands of jasmine with which we were ar- rayed on our arrival. At night the jasmine opened sending scent through the air of our hotel room. I like the look of the city's canals. called kkxtgs, and I like traveling on them by boat - Bangkok was once called the Venice of the East. I especially liked the floating market Damneon- sadurak about an boors drive from the city where you can watch the Thai women strop for the day's food or you can just wander among the stalls full of hats, beads, flowers, noodles, clotting, crafts, leather goods or whatever. I liked many of the local customs. If someone "wais" to you - bows with hands together in front of his or her face - it's proper to return the gesture. To impress Tham instead of saying just Sawatdee ( for bello and goodbye). men should say Sawatdee, Krab and women, Sawatdee, Ka. it's a small difference, but more polite in a country that values such gestalts. It is considered extreme- ly impolite to point your feet at a Thai. In temples you must remove your shoes before entering the building that contains the principal Buddha image. Worshippers are seated on the floor, legs folded underneath them (so as not to point their feet at anyone) paying homage to the deity. I liked the "thuk thuk" (pronounced ..took took"), a mini taxi, so named because of the sound it makes. This three -wheeled vehicle weaves in and out of traffic faster than the regular taxis, and cheaper, but they are not for the faint of heart. The vehicle can hold three passengers but two is more comfor- table, and remember to keep your arms in! Thai cooking is usually hot and consists of a vane- ty of seafood and rice, but there is also lots of beef, chicken and pork in tradi- tional Thai dishes. For a taste of authentic Wed.

Situated on the Gulf of Mexico about 50 miles from Tampa and two hours by car from Orlando, Epcot Center and Disney World, the elegant Sarasota ex- tends lazily along a stretch Thai cuisine and culture head for the Sala Rimnam Restaurant situated across the Chao Phya River from the Oriental Hotel, said to be the best hotel in the world. That is where we spent our last evening in Bangkok. We crossed the river in a boat operated by the Oriental Hotel ( the Sala Rimnam is part of the Oriental) and were met with the now familiar "wail". We were asked to remove our shoes, and we sat on cushions on the floor with bolsters at our backs and our legs in a pit, very comfortable. In true Thai style all the food is placed in separate dishes before you and while you enjoy the excellent food beautiful Thai girls in traditional costumes enter- tain you. It was an enchanting evening and a perfect way to wind up our all too short visit to this "City of Angels". of inviting beaches. Siesta Beach, in particular, with its soft, white, powdery sand, far surpasses other beaches in the world, in- cluding European ones, most of which I have visited an my many trips abroad. Above all, there were hidden pleasures, such as the unexpected discovery of secluded desert spots, wbde hiking on the beaches, the fre- quent pauses for a dip into the 30• Celsius ocean water! The Village was more beautiful than I'd expected. Nestled in a lovely park, with an abundance of pine and palm trees. hibiscus, laurel shrumbs and bougainvilia, the 112 pearly -tinted villas and rad tile roofs form several har- monious circles. I felt that I had found the haven I was searching for. .411 the comforts of a lux- urious home Each villa is air condi- tioned and tastefullv fur- nished over its surface of 1,400 square feet. Comfort is the key note here. With two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a living room, a dining room, kitchen, screened verandah and garage with automatic con- trols, four to six people can enjoy a relaxed uncrowded atmosphere of air- conditioned luxury. The fully -equipped kitchen is ready for the gourmet chef to spring into action. Other practical features include a washer and dryer, very handy for towels and bathing suits. From the verandah, I ad- mired the graceful swans on the Village lake, the blue and white herons and other exotic birds whose songs infuse the air in this idyllic corner of the world. Every day, if I wished, I could watch TV, selecting from a wide choice of American shows. Or, if you crave more ac- tion. you are only two hours' drive from the spec- tacular Disney World. Canary Chi► atniespbere But right here at the Vilhage, there are many diversions such as a big swimming pod, two tennis courts. bicycles for young and ofd. miniature golf. shuffle -board, horseshoes and more The spacious Club Hoarse provides the usual indoor games as well as a well -stocked library. Everything is close at hand. The Village is located next to a golf course, and two minutes' away are three shopping centres, including the huge Sarasota Square Mall, 12 movie houses, and - what else - a food market open 24 hmrs a day, First class restaurants At Saint -Armand on nearby Lido Island, elegant boutiques, art galleries and first-rate restaurants form a pleasing architectural facade. I took note of my favourite eating spots: the Cafe d'Europe (splendid decor, excellent French cuisine) : l'Osteria ( superb cuisine from the north of Italy) : and at Siesta Key, the Summer House (fairy- tale decor in an illuminated garden, and delicious foods) . Culture capital of Florida Sarasota can in- disputably lay a claim to the title of the culture capital of Florida. With its own "arts centre," the rose-coloured Van Wesel Performing Arts Theatre, where fust class theatre and musical shows are presented. Sarasota also boasts the Ringling Museum. housing an art collection that includes a Reubers. The Museum also recalls to memory the old days of taxing circuses. It's worth the entire visit to see the completely - furnished estate of John Ringling. the terrace with its huge Italian garden with a profusion of nymph statues. facing Sarasota Bay. I thoroughly enjoyed a hilarious bedroom farce at the Asdo State Theater, en- titled. "How the Other Half Loves," by the famous British playwright. Alan Ayckbourn. This 18th cen- tury Italian theatre was transported from Italy to Sarasota and reconstructed in 1967. It was a great evening of entertainment. All -Canadian project Village des Pins is a 100% Canadian enterprise. The year 1986 marked the end of the fust year of opera- tions, but the place is not Yet overrun with tourists. The prices are reasonable. Up to middle -December, %illas can be rented for SUN* per moamth. During July and August, rhe Cana- dian dolfor will be accepted at par. With regret I left the Village des Pins, which I have dubbed the "Superstar" of vacation centres. But, like Ginetto Reno, Michael Bossy, Patrick Roy, Gaetan Boucher and many others whose photos adorn the walls of the Village Club House, I'll be back. ;Maybe, with a little luck, next year, for sure!

Canary Chi► atniespbere But right here at the Vilhage, there are many diversions such as a big swimming pod, two tennis courts. bicycles for young and ofd. miniature golf. shuffle -board, horseshoes and more The spacious Club Hoarse provides the usual indoor games as well as a well -stocked library. Everything is close at hand. The Village is located next to a golf course, and two minutes' away are three shopping centres, including the huge Sarasota Square Mall, 12 movie houses, and - what else - a food market open 24 hmrs a day, First class restaurants At Saint -Armand on nearby Lido Island, elegant boutiques, art galleries and first-rate restaurants form a pleasing architectural facade. I took note of my favourite eating spots: the Cafe d'Europe (splendid decor, excellent French cuisine) : l'Osteria ( superb cuisine from the north of Italy) : and at Siesta Key, the Summer House (fairy- tale decor in an illuminated garden, and delicious foods) . Culture capital of Florida Sarasota can in- disputably lay a claim to the title of the culture capital of Florida. With its own "arts centre," the rose-coloured Van Wesel Performing Arts Theatre, where fust class theatre and musical shows are presented. Sarasota also boasts the Ringling Museum. housing an art collection that includes a Reubers. The Museum also recalls to memory the old days of taxing circuses. It's worth the entire visit to see the completely - furnished estate of John Ringling. the terrace with its huge Italian garden with a profusion of nymph statues. facing Sarasota Bay. I thoroughly enjoyed a hilarious bedroom farce at the Asdo State Theater, en- titled. "How the Other Half Loves," by the famous British playwright. Alan Ayckbourn. This 18th cen- tury Italian theatre was transported from Italy to Sarasota and reconstructed in 1967. It was a great evening of entertainment. All -Canadian project Village des Pins is a 100% Canadian enterprise. The year 1986 marked the end of the fust year of opera- tions, but the place is not Yet overrun with tourists. The prices are reasonable. Up to middle -December, %illas can be rented for SUN* per moamth. During July and August, rhe Cana- dian dolfor will be accepted at par. With regret I left the Village des Pins, which I have dubbed the "Superstar" of vacation centres. But, like Ginetto Reno, Michael Bossy, Patrick Roy, Gaetan Boucher and many others whose photos adorn the walls of the Village Club House, I'll be back. ;Maybe, with a little luck, next year, for sure!

Queen's Park Report Brom Norah Stoner MPP Durham West The Ontario Ministry of Education is inviting comments from interested parties on the deport titled the "Ontario Study of the Relevance of Education and the Issue of Dropotsts". The report to the Ministry was released February 15th by author George Radwanski. Mr. Radwanski. former editor-in-chief of the Toronto Star, was appointed in February 1967 by the Murisier of Education at the request off Premier David Peterson to identify and recommend ways of making sure the education system in Ontario is fully relevant to the needs of young people and the realities of the labour market they are preparing to enter. A M>nstry of Education news release says the report, one of eight studies commissioned by the Ministry, targets education at both the elementary and secondary levels. Among the 35 recommendations in the report are: that schools place mare emphasis on students acquiring demonstrable skills and knowledge; that standardized pro- ♦inmal tests be used to assess student learning in core sub- ject are=. that ..streaming..: be abandoned and that the secondary school curriculum consist primarily of man- datory courses; that more help be provided to st»demats on an individual basis and that every school board in the pro- vince provide early childhood education from the age of three years. Both Premier Peterson and Education Minister Chris Ward welcomed the study and await further commem><s from school boards. pouments' groups, universities . coiieslea and labour and professional organizations. rhe report has raised a number of interesting analyses as well as potential solutions to the problems confronting the educational system in Ontario... the Premier said. The Education Minister said, "I look forward to wideranging discussions of the recommendations of Mr. Radwanski along with those that will enmwp from the Ministry's Student Retention and Transition Project, and other Ministry research initiatives." "These undertakings, evaluated together, will be coupled with current government initiatives which address areas of concern raised by Mr. Radwanski. ..err aim is to apply these ideas to the refiners erst ma and im- provement of a system ale held in high equipp- ing it to better serve the needs of all students - especially those in the basic and general levels, and not only those who will choose to enter post -secondary education," Mr. Ward said. He added it is crucial that the critical role of the teacher in the delivery of education and in support of curriculum change and educational progress be recognized. We must focus on preserving and enhancing the classroom environment and supporting the student -teacher relationship," Mr. Ward said The Ministry of Education is dignbu ting copes of the report to all interested groups and is asking for comments to be submitted by June 30th. Comments can be addressed to the Deputy Minister of Education, 22nd floor, Mowat Block, 900 Bay Street, Queen's Park. Toronto, Ontario, M7A 11.2. NORAH•S NOTES: I was pleased to hear that the Ministry of the Environ- ment is providing the Region of Durham with a $35.000 che- que as the first advance of a grant for a water pollution con- trol planning study. The study is aimed at developing a pro- gram to help reduce basement flooding. Did You Know That...

Ontario Riding Not so many years ago, it was very difficult for students before graduating from high school to choose their educa- tional and career paths. Most information and advice to make this important choice was available from parents, family and friends and from the high school guidance counsellors. I recently received a two -volume edition of Job Futures, es, a publication that traces prospects of more than 200 occupa- tions during the next five years and the labour market ex- perience of recent graduates in over 180 fields of study. Volume 1 establishes an important link between educa- tional choices and career paths, stating which jobs were held by graduates from vocational trade schools, communi- ty colleges and universities. It includes cause re- quirements; an assessment of the cause from the point of view of past graduates, and occupations of the graduates. An example of this would be if you are caasiwa career in electrical engineering, you should know that a previous graduating class experienced far less unemploy- ment than most graduates and that unemployment was vir- tually unknown by electrical engineering graduates at the doctoral level. Volume 2 contains an in-depth look at some 200 occupa- tions. For each occupation the following is listed: age and seas composition; sensitivity to changes in technology and work organization, and job prospects and earnings. An ex- ample would be women considering non-traditional careers in the computer sciences should know that the proportion of women computer programmers has more than doubled during the IVWs. Another example is for those who are con- sidering becoming a lawyer. You may be interested in knowing that the 1932 graduating class averaged less than 52d.000 in 1964. Due to the cost of this publication, a condensed version is being prepared and will be distributed to yang people across Canada and high schools. U you are irde rested in reading through the two volumes, they will be available at my constituency office, located at 52 Church Street South, Ajax. Ontario, or copies can be ordered at a cast of $9.95 through the Canadian Government Publishing Centre, catalogue munber MP43-181i 1989-1E 066D-12614-1. I believe this is an exceilent tool which provides valuable information to assist young people in making one of the most imporant choices of their life, their career. Electricity Demand Up in IN7 Ontario electricity caosumers used almost five percent more electricity last year than in 1966. Total electricity sales in Ontario in 1987 were 126 billion kilowatt-hours, a 4.3 percent year over year increase.
