Q. I have a violin that is marked inside with the words "An- tonius Stradivarius Cremonensis Faciebat Anno 1723". What does this mean? J.W. A. The markings are a replica of those used by Antonio Stradivanous (1644-1737), Italian violin maker from Cremona, Italy, who has been called the greatest violin maker in the world. Among other things, Stradivarius is responsible for developing the standrdized 14" sine violin as we know it today. Experts estimate that there are only about 100 absolutely genuine Stradivarious violins in ex- istence today and each is immensely valuable. The markings in your violin can be translated as "An - tomo Stradivarius, Cremona, made in the year 1723". But don't get excited - thousands of violins with markings similar to those in your instrument were made in the early 1900's by the Hoffman Company for Sears Roebuck. They were sold through the Sears Catalogue for $19.00 each. Ac- cording to Ernest Edwards, columnist for Antiques and Col- lecting Magazine, these instruments have little if any anti- que value today. Q. What is a googol? A. A googol is a number so high that it has few useful ap- plications even in physics and astronomy. A googol is the number 1 followed by one hundred zeros. The name was coined by a nine year old, Milton Sirotta, and popularized by his mathematician uncle, Edward Kasner, in the book Mathematics and the Imagination. But a googol is nothing compared to a googolplex (lo to the google power 1010 100). Kasner said that if you counted every electron in the universe you wouldn't reach a googolplex. It googles the mind. _ 117uo�['e c,� c/�_�� Com' fi e Unit 5 Picks tOnt. Lvzhme 05 Kingson 1 V 3N7 831.8017 tion Area continues with weekend Lass for public and community groups.

Flooding Problems With rising temperatures and the levels of precipita- tion that can normally be expected during the late winter and early spring, in conjunction with the break- up of the ice cover, periods of high water levels and fast flowing conditions can be expected on streams and rivers in the local area. From time to time, creeks will overtop their banks resulting in the flooding of adjacent areas. The wet and icy condi- bons also make stream bunks extremely slippery and hazardous. School children are advised at this time of year to avoid streams and rivers to pre- vent slipping and being swept away by the fast flowing waters. The Central Lake On- tario Conservation Authori- ty monitors stream and river conditions throughout the entire year but with particular diligence during the period of "spring break-up" since dangerous creek conditions and localized flooding problems are a near certainty. The authority maintains a warning system to notify local municipalities, mill and dam operators, police and emergency depart- ments, school boards and the media, whenever flooding or hazardous creek conditions can be ex- pected. Residents of the Oshawa, Whitby and Bowmanville areas with concerns about high stream levels and hazardous creek conditions should contact C.

Mar. 16. 1988 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Teachers Speak Up by Bob Watson The secondary school teachers meeting in Toronto during this winter break week have confronted the Ontario iNlinister of Education Chris Ward with their views on Roman Catholic high schools. One angry teacher from Sudbury compared the separa- tion of students in high school by religion to apartheid in South Africa. Of course, this view was called extreme by Catholic school trustees and Richard Johnston, NDP educa- tion critic and MPP for Scarborough West. But teacher Raymond Connolly said the transfer of two schools in Sud- bury is dividing the community along religious grounds. The O SSTF believes that there should be one school system in Ontario and yours truly prepared a solution back in 19M for the liberal Party whereby Catholic schools, public schools and private schools would all be under one school board 100 by Catholic and equal funding. Our proposal was rejected priests and nuns as they wanted control of the school board. Unfortunately there is no easy answer to this problem. An Explanation by Bob Watson Last week's competitive newspaper in Scarborough (the Mirror) had a big story by Ron Watson about the third an- niversary banquet of the Federation of Chinese Canadians in the Pacific Restaurant, Agincourt. Everyone was there. except some one from this newspaper. Funny. but we us- ed to get invited to cover these Chinese groups. but we guess our stand against Luke Tao in the heritage languages debate has brought a ban for us. Strange though because we thought these newcomer to Canada were complaining about racism by us "British Canadians" or as we prefer to say ... just plain five generations Canadian! We used to be invited to the Miss Scarborough !North You Chinese Buusitness Association annual event too, but we guess after our suggestion that to enter this beauty pageant (unlike the Miss Scarborough Pageant which Inas no racial restrictions) one had to have some Chinese blood and therefore the contest was racist, cut us out of that event as well. Most Chinese people we meet seen very nice, but as in all groups. there are some whose biases are only exceeded by their selfish approach. We are wn Wig these views to lox our readers ... some of whom are of Chinese origin ... unders- tand why this newspaper has no nems of these events. About Rosalie Hall I am appalled by the leiter appearW March 9 from B.A. Blackburn. Clearly, he seems convinced Rosalie Hall enables unwed women to get pregnant at the behest of the Pope. His prejudice prevents him from getting facts and clarity of unclerstanding. Rosalie Hall is a carrnmu pity and residential support cen- tre oo-tre for young single women during and after pregnancy, regardless of age or religion_ Rosalie Hall originally provid- ed only prenatal and residential care, but with the on-going des in attitudes towards single parents, an increasing number of young women are choosing to keep their babies. Consequently, this stimulated new needs and Rosalie Hall tried to respond to them. Since 1990• Rosalie Hall has opened its doors to pregnant day students. In 1991, weekly follow-up and support pmo- grams were initiated for the growing number of single mothers in the community who chose to keep their children. A baby sitting service was provided in 1985 to encourage the Young mothers to continue their schooling after delivery. The multi-million dollar expansion and renovation pro - jest will provide a less institutional dwelling for the residents and will free the existing building to house all of Rosalie Hall's programs and community services. These include counselling. medical care, high school education, support groups, life skills programs, a drop-in centre and day-care. I thank God there are people like the Misericordia Sisters who, with compassion, love and devotion, care for life and people in need.

Position Sorely Inadequate The U.S. Adrninstration's proposals to stop acid rain were called "sorely inadequate" recently by Pauline Brow", M.P. Scarborough Centre and Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of the Environment. In a speech in the House of Commons. Browes said that a recent decision by the U.S. Administration not to consider specific acid rain reduction goals was --most disturbing to Canada". ..Their decision falls far short of the key dements needed to protect Canada's environment," said Browes. In 1995, the Canadian government introduced an acid rain reduction program that will reduce Canada's acid rain causing emissions by 50%. However, since one-half of the acid rain falling on eastern Canada originates in the U.S., the federal govetrnent has asked the American govern - ur = w onyx[ a srmuar program. - VVIUK ur stmuar action on the part of our American neighbours, our abatement pro- gram cannot be effective,.. Browes said- Last aidLast April, President Reagan agreed to consider a Cana- dian proposal for a bilateral agreement on acid rain. That aunt would have included specific reduction targets on American acid rain flowing into Canada. American negotiators have, however, recently rejected the use of specific targets and will only negotiate an agreement that includes further research into the problem and the develop- ment of new pollution reduction technology. ".Canadians can rest assured that the Minister of the En- vironment together with the Prince Minister will continue to pursue this vital environmental issue with the United States administration, the Congress and with the American public." said Browes.

(Photo - Bob Watson) Want Court Clarification About Catholic Schools Metrpolitan Separate School trustees have urged that a proposed cart clarification of the legislation on Catholic secondary school funding take place as quickly as possible. While expressing regi et over any delay. they have voted to join the Metro public scbools in asking Education Minister Chris Ward for reference of the legislation, known as Bill 30, to Divisional Cart. Metro Tomato School Baud Chairman Ann Vanstone early this week announced the public school pian to seek court interpretation of aspects of the legislation that are in dispute between the two school systems. Caroline DiGiovanni, Metro Separate School Board Chairman, said her board did not believe any further Clarification of Bill 30 was really necessary. Since the public board wanted it, the separate school trustees decided they should participate. "We regret any delay that will be involved, and we believe the minister has a responsibility to undertake the court reference in a way which involves the least loss of time in solving urgent problems of student accommodation,." she said Bill 30 was passed by the Ontario Legislature in 1996. It sets out the rights and obligations of public and separate school boards relative to facilities and other matters. In Metro, negotiations on the transfer of accommodation from the public to the separate board has been going on for 18 months. Nrs. DiGwvanm urged the Metro area public boards to provide full information on the accommodation costing in the public system and on the current and projected oc- cupancy needs. "We have provided complete, detailed in- formation on our own situation and we have received almost no information from any of the area public school boards or from the Metro public board," she said. Bob's Notes . Blind Man Makes Good On Shot Hockey history was made recently when a young blind man became the latest winner in the Canadian Hockey League's Shell Hitachi Duracell Win -A -Car Shootout. Dave Duncan, a 24 year old dedicated fan of major junior hockey, was chosen as a shooter from the audience on hand at an OHL game between Oshawa Generals and visiting Corn- wall Royals, at Oshawa Civic Auditorium. In accomplishing his feat, he shot a 1 -inch thick and 3 -inch diameter hockey puck approximately 120 feet along the ice ( from the defensive blue line to the opposing team's goal line) through a 3-1! 4 inch wide and 2 -inch high hole in a board placed in front of the goal. For his successful efforts Duncan receives the grand prize of $8,000 towards the price of a new General Motors Pontiac automobile of his choice. Give A Gift That Lasts A11 Year!

This year, the cut goes only to homeowners who appealed their assessment because of the location of either a temporary green box or a super mailbox.

They said dogs urinate on the boxes, kids climb all over them and bang on them and residents use it as a gathering spot. They also said the boxes are only 35 ft. from their bedroom windows. The OMB ruled that the boxes constitute "a nuisance" and ordered the reduction. The two also argued that the boxes had devalued their property but the OMB said there was yet no evidence one way or another to show what is the impact on the boxes. Only about 20 homeowners will get a reduction this year in On- tario but as many as 8800 taxpayers in the greater Metro area alone could receive it next year. By the end of this year there will be about 110,000 people in the Metro region getting their mail through com- munity mailboxes. A Ministry of Revenue spokesman said that if homeowners near but not immediately adjacent to the boxes can prove the boxes are a nuisance for them, too, then they can get the reduction as well. The ministry will review the reduction each year and if house sales prove there is a negative impact because of the boxes then the reduction could be made greater. Scarborough stands to lose about $20,000 next year in tax revenue because of the reduction and politi- cians say the federal government should reim- burse the municipalities because the boxes were their idea. Alderman Brian Ashton said he will ask council to look at how it can appeal the OMB decision. Pickering Councillor Maurice Brenner said he intends to ask his council this week to take the federal government to small claims court to get back lost tax revenue.

(,Business Community --News $5,000 Puts Your Name by Gay Abbate For just $5,000 you can have your name up in lights. This is the deal being of- fered to corporations who are willing to donate $5,000 to help put on a fireworks like display on July 1. For years, Scarborough residents have complained about the city's willingness to put on a firework display on Canada Day says Sharon Simpson, a volunteer with the Scar- borough Committee on Parades and Entertain- ment. This committee, more commonly known as SCOPE, is a group of volunteers who organize and pian all the city's public festivities. Simpson said the city has never put on a firework display because of problems with safety and liability. This year, however, SCOPE is planning a laser pyrotechnic light display outside the Scarborough Civic Centre onre dusk falls after all the Canada Day celebratic-s. The Laser lights are perfectly safe and can be reflected off the sky or the civic cen- tre building itself The catch is sat cor- porate sponsors or private iadividtals must be willing to donate some money. Without financial contribu- tions Scarborough's citizenry, will remain in the dark on Canada Day. Simpson says six cor- porate sponsors each giv- ing $5,000 will do the trick and in return for their donation corporations will see their name or logo up in ligths as part of the display irr acknowledgement of their gift. Anyone willing to donate some money, regardless of the amount, should contact Kathy Robertson at 29&1311. Again this year, SCOPE is planning a day -long pic- nic at Thomson Park begin - In Lights ning with a pancake breakfast. There will be a tea garden, an antique car stow, pony rides for kids and plenty of other festivities for all ages.

( Photo - Bob Watson) New Travel Regulations For Ontario New regulations pro- viding unproved protection for Ontario's travellers have now been passed, an- nounced Consumer Minister William Wrye recently. The comprehensive travel protection initiatives require mandatory inspec- tion of new and renovated accommodations, full disclosure of all agency - booked services and coats, and prompt consumer notif catim of any change in plans or price. The regulations are designed to prevent the problems some consumers have experienced when booking trips, and are part of an overall emphasis by the government and my ministry to work with the travel industry to provide better consumer peotec- tioa," said Mr. Wrye.

Thai separated from SAS in 1874 to become a fully independent inter- national airline. Thaihas grown significantly over the years presently flying to 46 cities in 34 countries in Europe, the Middle East, Australia, Africa, New Zealand, North America and more destinations in Asia than any other airline.

In addition, the registrar's office will strengthen the screening of applicants for registration to keep out operates who have previously gone bankrupt, or have walked away from debts and then try to start a new travel company; increase the monitoring of advertising; and step up services as mediator in disputes bet- ween consumers and travel operators over compensa- tion for unsatisfactory travel services. first scheduled service into such destinations as the famed We of Bali and Kathmandu in the mouuh- tain kingdom of Nepal.

Mar. 16, ISM Bill Watt',; ON SCREEN 1: Off Limits (20th Century Fox) currently on view in Toronto theatres is not a remake of the Bob Hope, Mickey Rooney, Marilyn Maxwell comedy of a few dcades ago. It was a funny film . . intentionally: the current offering is not fun- ny. It's not really much of anything. Cinematically speaking, the genre de jour is Viet Nam and its principal city Saigon has been chosen as the setting for the new Off Limits though almost any Far Eastern City could have been used. Gregory Hines and Willem (Platoon) Dafoe are two M.P.s (Military Police) caught up in the murders of Saigon pro- stitutes who have had children by U.S. soldiers ( reminiscent of Paris after W.W.D. Well. there's much violence but not enough to qualify Off limits as an ac- tion film according to one overheard comment. There's some decent acting but not enough to make the film believable. It's probably best surn- marised as being not bad but not really all that good. We're ambivalent, which is Worlds more than can be said for those who left before it was over. ON SCREEN II: Well, the March breakdown-er break is just at the half way mark and the little bugg .. angels are starting to get fractious. Why not treat them and your frazzled nerves to a few hours with an excellent movie in an excellent theatre. This week, Cinesphere at Ontario Place is presenting matinee showings at 1:30 and 4:15 p.m. of Return of The Jedi. This is the final film of the current Star Wars trilogy (eventually, it's hoped there will be nine but Return of The Jedi will always be the last, chronologically) and it's a honey! Action humour for the children; good dramatic issues for the adult. CANADIAN SCENE: The Genie Awards will be telecast live from the Metro Toronto Convention Centre next Tuesday.

NIGHT SCENES: Hard to believe but Berlin, the night club is now a year old. Quoting from a publicity release, it is "designed to be reminis- cent of the European cabaret supper clubs of the 1930 - a cosmopolitan quali- ty of ambience where the evening meets the night and where substance meets style". We don't know who wrote that but it's a nice piece of writing and the im- ages it conjures up match reality. We were here for a party celebrating the fust year and quite enjoyed ourself. Speaking personally, Berlin renunds us rather much of the Cub Roan in the now long gone Stork MARAYANA iS MM crus. � Toq�ap r Nr na. b[rP w rra,aar,0a rw, A♦.

Actual scores and or- cbestratiors from sound tracks aren't really all that enjoyable played by themselves but some are more pleasant than others. That said, let us recom- mend The Last Emperor ( Virgin Records) as an in- teresting bled of oriental and occidental music as written by Ryuichi Sakamoto and David Scarborough Byrne. We prefer the latter but then most of our life has been spent away from the half tones of the oriental scale. Still. the music of Sakamoto bas a compelling quality to it that is in no way jarrn6 against the more melodious offerings of Byrne. To be honest, the album is more interesting than en- joyable but still worth one's custom. Decidedly enjoyable is Ennio )Morri(:one, Film Music. 1966-1997 (Virgin Records) . Ennio 1Mor- ricone's music more than stands up on its own and away from soundtracks. He is the -1 *rip of scores of such motion pic- tures as The Good, the Bad anti the Ugly, Once Upon a Time in the West, The hfw sion and My Name is Nobody. On this albums he conducts a splendid or- chestra in his own or- chestrations. The music is exciting, sumptuous sold on at least one cut, almost achingly beautiful.

Dr. Derevensky on Children The seventh in a series dealing with childhood problems and effective parenting. Siblings: Brothers and Sisters Living Together Dr. Jeffrey Derrvensky is Associate Professor. Department ofEducational Psychology and Counselling, McGill gni versity, Director of Rcad?Ser-Go "Parent. Child Program and a consultant to Fisher-Price Canada, a leading toy manufacturer. The single most common complaint amongst parents is that their children are always "killing" each other. Brothers and sisters appear to be con- stantly threatening, fighting, screaming, ridiculing, at- tempting to outshine and eliminate their sibling. While psychologists, pediatricians and friends try to reinforce the fact that this behaviour is usually quite normal, it is often little consolatior to the frenzied parent. Many parents decide to have several children so that they will be "playmates" for one another and some "family" when they become adults. While the psychologi- cal literature suggests few problems associated with being an "only" child, an inter- esting funding is that only children tend to want larger families when they reach childbearing age. When does the love and af- fection parents want their children to exhibit toward each other begin to deteriorate? Certainly, be- havioural changes, attitudes, feelings and perceptions are related to the child s develop- mental level, parental respon- ses and environmental influen- ces. Expectant mothers today often try to get their older child involved %vith the unborn child early on. Mothers can be observed explaining to the child that it is not mommy but rather "the entire family that is going to have a new baby". ion older child is often asked whether he prefers a brother or sister as if he has a choice. It is not unusual to hear a child say "I hate my sister. You asked me what 1 wanted, I told you a brother. Take this baby back." Parents anxious to enhance sibling love will often explain how much fun it will be to have an new playmate without ever suggesting some of the negative consequences. These consequences include having to share what was once only his: the baby taking a considerable amount of HIS mother's time: the baby crying and awakening everyone; and that this cute baby will often produce foul odours. Someth- ing we forget to mention is that most of the "playing" will not occur for several years until the infant has developed iIs to a toddler or preschooler The tremendous amount of pleasure that was promised is not realized for several years. The adult attention lavished exclusively on the single child must now be shared with the baby, who often receives most of the attention. It is no wonder that children often say (when. tied) that they `hate" the new baby. As siblings grow older together, new problems Food stores changing to meet consumer demands Canadians' changing eating and meal preparation habits are having a revolutionary effect on the nation's super- markets. It started with the prAifera- tion of in-store bakeries and deli counters. That was followed by unprecedented growth in therf ozen food section as a huge variety of upscale entrees joined tradi- tional TV dinners. And now, consumers' seemingly insa- tiable demand for convenient ways to get family meals on the table in a hurry is making a major impact on the dried prepared food section. Once almost an after- thought in many super- markets, the section that was dominated by dried macaroni and cheese dishes and basic dinner helpQe�rs is the hottest news in ttee grocery aisles. Improvements in ingredients, ppaackaging and technology, a focus on convenience and ethnic eating trends have all contributed to the enhanced appeal of dried, dinner helpers and side dishes. Alert to consumer demands and growing trends, many of the major food manufacturers are introducing new products of this kind. -'Our research shows that Canadians are looking for products that make the task of planning and preparing meals las= and which offerarenter variety and taste appeal," says Michael Owen, Group Brands Manager for Effem Foods Effem has dust introduced Exquisine, a line of six pasta dishes that can be served as a side dish or, with the addition of other ingredients, as a main meal. Featuring first quality ingredients, interesting flavor combinations and 80s names like Four Cheese Rotini and Tomato Marinara, Exquisine is one of the major players that are changing the face of our supermarkets' convenience food sectiones. "As the baby boom genera- tion grows older, premium quality food that is easy to prepare and is affordable to serve to the family is in great "demand," says Owen. "Exquisine is a response to this — and to the continuing consumer demand for healthy, nutritious foods like pasta." emerge — fighting, scream- ing, instigating, and teasing. These behaviours are what psychologists call sibling rival- ry. Love and understanding are essential elements in deal- ing effectively with this rival- ry. In an excellent book en- titled "Siblings Without Rival- ry: How to help your children Rival- .y: together so you can live too", Adele Faber and Elaine Mazlish provide some guidelines to help parents sur- vive this "childhood" period. To deal with these problems, several points are worth noting: — Instead of denying nega- tive feelings about a sibling, acknowledge them. Forcing a child to say that he loves his baby sister will not change what he truly feels. — Understanding and discuss- ing normal feelings of jealousy and envy can help children effectively deal with them. Stop hurtful behaviour ex- hibited between siblings. — Help children channel their anger, frustration and nega- live feelings into acceptable verbal communication. — Avoid both unfavourable and favourable comparisons. Focus instead on each child's individuality. — Show how each child is loved uniquely, not equally. While establishing limits, parents have the ability to model empathy. warmth. and understanding. Parents must allow for the positive release of their children's hostility, anger and envy in a socially acceptable manner_ Effective communication and active lis- tening can help minimize some of the problems that could otherwise leave psychological scars.

It was great to have the opportunity to meet new and familiar faces and a chance to attend various events. I would like to share with you some of the things I did last week. On Thursday February 25, I attended the Durham Manufacturers' Association dimer. It was the association's fust crack at an international event and it was a great suc- cess. John CrLvo, Professor at the University of Toronto, was the guest speaker and gave a stirring speech on free trade. I had the pleastre of participating in the Pickering Place Co-op sod turning ceremony. I have always been a strong supporter of Coop Housing and I would like to wish Picker- ing Place the greatest success on their new venture. Sunday, Cecil and I atterhded the rededication service of Trinity United Crouch in Uxbridge. This is a special year for the congregation of Trinity United Church as they will be celebrating their 100th anniversary. The following day I wart to Pickering High School and spoke to the students on numerous topics. I was impressed with the quality of the qut moons asked and the discussions which followed. I would also like to thank Mr. Mae Mitchell for extending the invitation_ I finished off my week being the guest speaker at a dinner meeting of the Wnwrien Chub of Whitby. I spoke to the members of the free trade agreement and explained to them why I fed that this agreement is by far the beast agree- ment that Canada has ever entered into. I have changed hats and I am now back in Ottawa. I look forward to seeing you all again soon.

In outlining how the additional money will be allocated, Mrs. Wilson said, $5.3 million annually will be used to enrich home support programs such as MeaL%-On-Wheels, Friendly Visiting. Home Maintenance and Home Help. A further $1.0 million a year will enable Senior Day pro- gram, which support independent living, to expand to more commu robes in the province.

Mrs. Wilson said. She pointed out that many rural comm robes have no public transportation or have limited means at travel to necessary services, and this initiative will greatly improve the mobility of senior citizens. In addition, $3.0 million in funding will go to enhance development of Ahbeirner community support services. This money a in addition to the fu ndit for Altbeimer pro- granas which began two years ago. Funds to support the development of 25 new elderly per- sons' centres, to be phased in beginning this year, have also been approved (Priority will be given to centres with pro- grams and services that euhphasize a preventative, health maintenance approach).
