( Photos - Bob Watson) Durham Board of Education Highlights Meeting with Local M.P.P.s Heid Durham Board trustees held a meeting with local M.P.P.s on Oct. 27, at Woodlands Centennial PS, Pickering. Purpose of the meeting was to inform and review with the M.P.P.s the board's Capital Expen- diture Forecast for the years 1989 to 1994, especial- ly the 1989 request for ap- proval. Trustees emphasiz- ed that the school accorn- modation problem which exists as a result of tremen- dous growth in Durham is just beginning. They re- quested the support of the M.P.P.s in urging the government to meet the school accommodation re- quirements as well as the renewal and renovation needs of existing Board facilities. Change Order Approved A Change Order in the amount of $12,095.27 for the unnamed Port Perry PS was approved by the board. The change order was necessitated by a late response to the board's final drawing and specification submissions from the Ontario Fire Mar- shall's Office who are runn- ing six weeks behind nor- mal schedule due to the ex- tensive construction taking place and the need to train new staff. The amount was needed to cover their re - Task Force Report Receiv- ed Reporton the Force on Illegal Dung Use in On- tario, chaired by Ken Black, M.P.P. was receiv- ed from the Ontario Public School Boards' Associa- tion.

Dec. 14, 1988 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Important Issues The two big issues for the new local councils and Metro Toronto Council appear to be garbage recycling and transportation. It is now 14 years since former Premier Bill Davis ruined the plan of Metro Roads Commissioner Sam Cass and stop- ped the Spadina Expressway. Mr. Davis also stopped all roads eastwards towards the Pickering airport - after agreeing to supply them to the Trudeau govertuneht. Sam Cass's road plan would have given Metro Toronto the road system which would work right until the urban area is completely built. It was a 100% good master plan and we believe Metro Toronto politicians should take another look at building the Spadina, the Scarborough Ex- pressway and speeding the Ontario government with the 407 Highway. Transit systems could be incorporated into the road allowances as well. There is no time left to rescue Metro Toronto from losing its spot in the world as a "world class" city. It is absolutely necessary for action now or this great urban area will col- lapse into a shambles from a vibrant city point of view. And remember this demise will take the outer suburbs of Peel, York and Durham Regions with it. On the recycling issue, we believe it is very essential to compel everyone. especially industry, to recycle all gar- bage. Surely there are entrepreneurs who could be given the chance to make a profit on this recycling - and save the taxpayers all the money being spent now. Agenda For Action The National Citimns' Coalition is u:,sug its usual method - large page newspaper ads - to urge the Dew government of Prime Minister Brian Mulroney to adopt a conservative "Agenda for Action". The ads take the form of a memorandurn addressed to Mulroney which urges him to "seize the initiative" through a political agenda which Includes pnvatmtion. the curtail- ment of union power and the reform of Canada's social pro- grams. "Canadians rograms- "Canadians gave Mr. Mulroney a clear signal an election day that they want more freedom and less govarnnent," said David Somerville. president of the NCC. "The Prime Minister now has a solid mandate for principled conser- vative leadership. We want him to act decisively on that Dnandate... During the recent federal election campaign, the NCC spent about VW,000 in its campaign to promote both free trade and expose the frightenmg agenda of Ed Brwdbent's New Democratic Party. In all. the PICC aired more than 5.000 television and radio commerials over a three month period in 41 targetted western nd vgs and in the southern Ontario market. The NCC believes its hard-hitting campaign was partly responsible for the NDP's plunge in the polls over the ppm�ti four months. It has also pointed out that it was the PICC'3 successful 1964 landmark constitutional court challenge to Bill C-169 which paved the way for independent groups of cibw s to get actively involved in the election dxmpai®I on issues like free trade, the environment and defence. Bin C-169, which amended the Canada Eections Act in October. 1983, threatened up to five years' imprisonment for citixuns who independently spent money to support or oppose political parties or candidates ducting federal ejections. Letter To The Editor Barbara McDougall of St. Paul's is one of the most power- ful cabinet ministers in the Mulroney governmherA. Barbara McDougall's courage and strength, fts bring hope and benefit, to all people who are concerned and in- volved with Canada's Free Trade Agreement with the United States. Prime Minster, Brian Mulroney's consideration, to the appointment of Barbara McDougall, to Minister of Exter- nal Affairs, can make the most of McDougall's enormous action and profound leadership.

The $50 cbeques are sent automatically each year to Ontario residents aged 65 or over to help offset their retail sales tax payments. This year payments totalled close to 653 million The Sales Tax Grant should not be confused with the Pro- perty Tax Grant, which is the other half of Ontario's Tax Grants for Seniors' Program. The Property Tax Grant is provided annually to eligible seniors who complete an ap- plication form and return it to the Ministry. The grant, payable in two installments, is designed to offset seniors' property tax payments - Christmas Food Bank Frank Faubert, M.P.P. Scarborough -Ellesmere, has an- nounced the opening of his second annual Christmas Food Bank Campaign. He has set up his constituency offices at 2100 Ellesmere Rd., Suite 111, as a drop off point for donations of non- perishable food. The campaign will run between Dec. 14 to Dec. 23, and the office is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday to Friday. All contributions will be donated to the St. Ni- nan's Church Food Bank. "Last year's food drive was successful, this year I'm hop- ing for even greater results. I c wl on all residents of Scar- borough to make a donation to ensure that all local families can enjoy a fulfilling Christmas Season." Bob's Notes Property Owners At Risk "Most Canadians own property. But, there are no guarantees under the constitution for fair procedures or compensation when it comes to property rights," says Len Frost. President of the Ontario Association, Appraisal In- stitute of Canada. "It is simply unacceptable that expropriation, freezes, rezoning, greenbelting and similar procedures can be ef- 'fected against private property," Frost says. When it comes to expropriation, for example, very few changes have been made to the 1970 Expropriation Act despite a call for improvements by the Federal Law Reform Commission in 1976. And, says Frost, that leaves untouched more than 1200 expropriation powers, some of which can be used without any obligation to provide com- pensation let alone fair procedures. The national body for professional appraisers, the Ap- praisal Institute of Canada, has called for all candidates running in this federal election, to support constitutionally guaranteed rights for Canadians to own property. The AIC began efforts on this issue in 1963 when it called for an 'amendment of Section 7 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, to include the right to own property. Automobile Insurance Board The Ontario Automobile Insurance Board has published an independent consultant's proposal for private passenger automobile insurance rates for the board's consideration at an industry -wide public hearing commencing Dec. 12, 1988. The actuarial consulting firm of William M. Mercer Ltd. was retained by the board to prepare a proposal. Mercer ;proposes private passenger auto rates according to the Board Class Plan, a uniform system of grouping risks. The Mercer proposal identifies new rate levels which Mercer considers adequate from an actuarial point of view. The Mercer proposal notes that the impact of its rates on an individual's insurance costs is difficult to quantify. Overall, if the Mercer proposal is accepted by the board, the effect would be an average rate increase of between 35 and 40%. Some individuals could see their rates decrease, while others could have uicreases. The rate recommendations contained In the Mercer pro- posal are those of Mercer and are not bmdurg on the board. The Mercer proposal is intended as a reference point for analysis and comment by participants in the hearing.. The board has already held public hearings and rendered decisions on a uniform class plan, rate making methodology. and industry profitability. As required by law, it has adopted a class pian that eliminates age, sex, marital status, handicap and family status as criteria is the establishment of rates. As a result, the driving record of a driver will be more significant in the detarinum ion of premiu n, to be charged by insurance companies. The board indicated in its rate making methodology hew - big as r� for ranges of rates rather than fixed rates in to stimulate competition among the insurance , �y permitting conanners a freedom d choice. The board's decision on industry profitability identified the rapoly rising cast of claims as the single most impor- tant factor contributing to the need for imereases in premiums- Approodmately .roe of every premium dollar is paid out to settle claims. Atter lie zft the evidence on the Mercer proposal, the board will set private passenger automobile ranges of rates for 1969. R is expected that a decision will be announced by the end of January 1969. Members of the public are encouraged to contact the board at 5 Park Home Avenue, 4th Four, North York, On - taro, MW 6L4 or phone 227-2586. Calls For Public Inquiry Delegates to the Omar Federation of Labour convention unanimously passed an eDergency resolution demanding a full public inquiry into the contracting and delivery of am- bulance services in Ontario. The resolution, sponsored by the Ontario Public Service Employees' Union, carne in the wake of a tragic crash of an air ambulance near Chapleau, Ont. Nov. 30. Two paramedics, members of OPSEU Local 60, were killed in the crash, as were the pilot and co-pilot employed by Voyageur Airways Ltd. OFL delegates stood for a mm to of saletce in memory of the crash victims. Mark Lowell, chairman of OPSEU's ambulance division, told the OFL delegates that one of the dead paramedics, Ian Harris, was very worried about the lack d experience of the Voyageur pilots and had considered refusing to fly with them. OPSEU president James Clancy said the province's policy of contracting out air ambulance services to small airlines is a danger to the public. "When the government in- sists on doing something on the cheap, health and safety suffers," Clancy said. A recent OPSEU-sponsored inquiry reported that ambulance services are confused and under - equipped, and dialled on the government to open a full ire qui y. Give A Gift That Lasts All Year!

Here are several that one might consider for Christmas gift giving, always with the reminder that books are pleasurably received at any time of the year. Hockey fans will much enjoy Hockey Hall of Fame (Doubleday) by Dan Dia- mond and Joseph Roman. Obviously it's a history of how the hall came about but more than that, it's a recotuhting of the careers of the players and builders who have been installed as members. Scholarly but not overly so, the book goes all the way back to such as Sir Montagu Allan and Charlie Drinkwater and forward in time right up to Anatoli Tarasov and Brad Park. (That last one hurts; we us- ed to work with Brad's father and remember when he took the first Toronto midget team, including young son Brad to the Quebec City Winter Car- nival hockey tournament.) We imagine that the greatest appeal of the book is the plenitude of illustra- tions. As for us we were quite taken to see again how the players used to Martie's Parties Party Sllppias g Rwftb 1541 Klr4Ww Rd.

The format is large size Soft cover; smart looking enough for the coffee table, convenient enough to carry easily. Good value. Here's a trio for movie buffs. Inside Oscar (Ballan- tine) is an unofficial history of the Hollywood Academy Awards. Runn- ing more than a thousand pages, it lists every winner in every category from the first right up to 1996. Well, that information is readily available for the motion picture student. What makes Inside Oscar so in- teresting are the tidbits that accompany them. How about this comment from sexy Rexy Harrison . "Lana Turner is to an evening gown what Frank Lloyd Wright is to a pile of lumber. " We appreciate the much under rated James Masco's comment "Tbe Oscar show is always a little better if things go wrong, so I had no need to feel guilty about letting them down... Good book for research but better for fur Hollywood Anecdotes (Ballantine) come close to being a definitive work on Hollywood without ever taking itself too seriously. Ob, thee are essays and Hollywoodpmx,es on the but history real knowledge and entertain- ment comes from the little bits and pieces about per- formers, directors. pro- ducers ers et al.Will Rogers when _ why he left the stageori films drawled "Pictures; are the only business where you can at out front and ap- plaud yam...

Ah, the once upon a time in- fluence of Hollywood. Strictly for laughs is Lost, Lonely and Vicious (Pantheon). This is a col- lection of postcards made up (or down) from posters advertising the great trash films of the fifties including the one that inspired the ti- tle of this gently funny col- lection. - They're garish, in poor taste and simply wonder- ful. Still, a serious student of film can salve his cons- cience by noting the number of performers who went on to better things . . Robert Vaughan, Neville Brand, Vince Edwards, Connie Stevens and others. Still, we find ourself wondering what ever hap- pened to Cleo Moore. How about it George A? Can you give us the answer? Biographies are always enjoyed and here are sone for your consideration. We won't pretend they have all been read cover to cover but we've scanned them all and all are interesting. Full reviews will follow in subsequent columns but take our word now that you won't go wrong with any of them. Clara Bow. Runninn' Widd by David Steam (Double- day) scores on two counts. Oldsters will enjoy the more or less full story of Hollywood's legendary "It" Girl but youngsters not born when Miss Bow passed away will enjoy reading about the woman who probably best epitomised the early glory years of Hollywood Babylon.

Must confess though, that we're still confused over what role was played in her -life by the late Buddy Fogelson, perhaps better known as Greer Garson's second husband. Kitty (Doubleday) is an honest to heaven autobiography by Kitty Carlisle Hart. Frankly, her writing style leaves something to be desired but it's honest. Kitty Carlisle might just be one of the last great ones. A gifted singer and actress she has achieved fame in all of the perform- ing arts and is well liked although not so much so as Arlene Francis with whom she is so often confused. Our particular interest was in the chapter dealing with the opening of Camelot at the brand new O'Keefe and the number of people who rallied around her when her husband, director Moss Hart, suf- fered a heart attack early in the rnn.

In fact, it is often a source of energy lass, as it removes warmed combustion air from the borne and sends it ups. However, the fuvplaee is an important symbol of warmth, security and the value of close ties with borne, family and friends. This is particularly true during the winter holiday season. The fireplace may seem a refuge, but if neglected or mistreated it can be a hazard - to health and safety. Here are some do's and don'ts in tending your fireplace this season - to keep it as a refuge and to avoid the hazards.

Of Trade Submissions Bears Influences Crucial Decision on Industrial Development Future industrial development in the City of Toronto was in jeopardy as the city's Land Use Com- ttee began to exami miimplementing a policy that wound restrict all develop went within 50 metres of a rail line. A board submis- sion prepared by The Economic Development Committee (see Page 3) and opposition was presented to the Land Use Committee on Aug. 10. Recognizirtg the strong op- position pposition that also included Industries and the Toronto Industrial Coordinating Committees, the Land Use Committee decided to recommend to City Council to remove the in- dustrial /commercial land from the policy. Official Plan Review, I*- dustrial Areas The board agrees with the report an the need for a clearer and broader defini- tion of the term industry reflecting the changing character of Metro's in- dustrial areas. The board also agrees that the Official Plan should include statements permitting the use of compatible quasi and non -industrial uses along arterial roads in in- dustrial areas. Tile Apprenticeship Pro- gram The board once again voiced its concern over the dwindling number of ap- prentices pprentices and funding of apprenticeship training, an issue which both the federal and provincial governments have ogne-lit- tie to resolve during the last nine months (last board submission on Feb. 11, 1989). The board also reminded both ministers that business presently subsidizes 90% of appren- ticeship costs and has a large stake in the future of apprenticeship training. With the intention of spurr- ing on the federal - provincial discussions, the board reiterated its four key positions: the need for further consultation on financing; concern over the use of UI payments as income support for appren- tices; reconsideration of apprentices as students; greater awareness that ap- prenticeship pprenticeship supplies tradesmen that are cur- rently in short supply and critical to Ontario's future. Provincial Transportation llGeister Complimentary of Board's Work in Transper- tatioa The board continues to build a constructive work- ing relationship with On- tario Transportation Minister Ed Fulton thr migh positions developed by the board's Transportation Committee. This was witnessed through a two page response from Mr. Fulton to the board's June 13 submission, "Transpor- tation Directions in the Greater Toronto Area". The Minister looks forward to our continuing support of transportation develop- ment and further discus- sions with The Board. Shop Early For Chdatmas .o Wed.

Queen's Park ..'Report Norah_Shner. MPP Durham- . • The Province of Ontario has become the first in Canada to Introduce smoking legislation for the public and private sector workplaces under provincial jurisdiction. The Smoking in the Workplace Act, introduced in the T.egYslature recently by Labour Munster Gregory Sorbara, addresses the health related need to provide every employee with a workplace as free from tobacco smoke as is reasonably acrieveable. The objective is to establish a basic framework upon which individual workplaces can work out a smoking policy that will meet the needs of all persons employed there. "As a regulator the government has a duty to propose legislation that will ensure a basic standard that will apply in all workplaces under provincial jurisdiction. "The government now is fulfilling its responsibility throguh this legislation which prohibits smoking in all areas unless they have been explicitly designated as smok- ing areas," Mr. Sorbara said. Under this Bill, which will come into effect on July 1, 1989, smoking in enclosed work environments under Ontario labour legislation will be prohibited except in smoking areas specifically designated by employers. These designated areas will not be allowed to exceed 25 percent of the total space of the workplace and must be established through consultation with Joint Health and Safety Commit- tees. Mr. Sorbara pints out that the Bill will not require the p+obibitim of smoking in areas of a workplace in which the public is served, such as restaurants, bars and hotel lob outdoor work areas; vehicles, such as provincially - regulated buses; and the residential portions of facilities such as hostels and detention centres. The major acception to the legislation will be empioyers subject to Federal juhiisdiction. Therefore, the legislation will not apply to employers such as banters, radio and televi- sion stations, airlines, railroads, niter provincial and inter- national trucking. shippng or burls companies and the of- fices of the Federal government and Federal crown eor- poirations. The Ministry of Labour calculates that the Bill will cover appraximnately 3.9 million workers at 233,000 workplaces: more than 90 percent of the workforce in the province, in- cluding retail, commercial. manes[ wbu int and mining operations, god, hospitals, social service agencies and educations: irAtituticns. Mr. Sorbara pointed out that the standard set by this Bill will work "hand in hard" with municipal regulations. "Municipal provisions that already regulate smoking in the workplace will stay in force, so long as they meet the legislation's requirements. New municipal by laws will be permitted so long as they at least match the provincial stan- dard," Mr. Sorbara said. Enforcement of the Bill will primarily be the responsibili- ty of the employer. although the legislation does provide employees and employers with the right to seek provincial enforcement of its requirements. Any person who acnes not comply with the smoking restriction provisions of the Bill may be prosecuted, with the maximurn penalty being a 82,0oo fine.

Hitler became Chancellor of Germany in 1903 and im- mediately began programs to lift Germany out of her economic depression. The only dilemma facing the military leaders was the efficient use of thecombined armed forces. It was from this thought that Blitzkrieg was created. This form of attack, sometimes called "Lightening War", can be defined as a concentrated supportive thrust by air, armor, and infantry respectively. After bombings and strafings of the Luftwaffe (German Air Force), the armored force of the Wehrmact (German Army) would attack weak positions in the enemy fines. This push was supported by air and artillery concentrations. Motorized divisions would closely follow the armored units followed next by the infantry. When a breakthrough would occur the armored and motorized units were responsible to widen the gap and ad- vance toward the main objective. Once again the infantry would follow to support the advancing columns and protect the attack's flanks. The Blitzkrieg proved to be one of the most potent strategies of World War II.
