The Jobb Family Serves Pickering When Mark Jobb of Pickering decided to get in- to business for himself, he didn't realize it would become a family affair. After eight years of work- ing for someone else, Mark Jobb decided he wanted to become his own boss. Since Mark was knowledgeable about the food service industry, he researched the fast food market possibilities and set his mind on pizza. In 1996 when the chance to buy an existing Pizza Pizza franchise became available in Pickering, Mark decided it was the perfect opportunity he was looking for and approached his father David Sr. and his brother David Jr., to become involved. In May of 1987, the Jobb family toss- ed their first pizza at their Pizza Pizza store located at 1360 Kingston Road in Pickering. When a new franchise was developed to help break up the large geographical area, Mark decided to buy it and sell off his portion of the first store to his father and brother and take on his own store at 705 Kingston Road in Pickering. "I really like being my own boss and being part of the Pizza Pizza organiza- tion. It's a great at- mosphere to wont in and you're constantly meeting new people," says Mark, reflecting on the business. "The standards that Piz- za Pizza maintains and the training and upgrading that they make mandatory as part of the franchising process, has helped me to reach my goal of serving the customer," says Mark.

Without the M* llions of Volunteers who donate time, money and blood to the Red Cross each year, most of these ser- vices would not be freely available to all those in need. The most vital and visi- ble of Red Crow services is the collection and distribw tion of mote than roe million units of blood an- nually. some 90o Canadian hospitals depend on Red Cross volunteer blood doors to give "the gift of life" to their patients. Red Cross health and community programs reach out to the yang and the young -at beart. Swim- ming pools across the coun- try are busy with children learning to swim through the Red Cross Water Safety Program, while the Fun and Fitness Program helps seniors stay independent and active. When disaster strikes, Red Cross emergency ser- vices are on the scene. At a moment's notice, Red Cross staff and volunteers can be in action helping victims of a tornado in Ed- monton, a gas leak in Halifax, or a flash flood in Montreal. March is Red Cross Month.

Mar. 22. 1989 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Who Is Going To Pay? by Bob Watson Now that two small grapes discovered in a Philadelphia location had cyanide in them we ask the question - Who is going to pay for the economic mess created when the U.S. and Canadian governments banned the sale of all Chilean fruit? Every day our fruit growers put chemicals all over our home grown fruit to give them a longer shelf life. These two grapes would have caseated very little problem, accoirding to medical people. According to estimates it would take 2000 of these grapes to kill a child. We don't believe that a total ban should have been placed on all Chilean fruit. Instead a warning issued to all con- sumers and retailers to watch for needle holes in grapes or any other suspicious look could have provoked an investiga- tion. To create economic chaos with thousands of fruit stores not counting the disaster economically for Chile is ridiculous, in our opinion. Architects Mark Centennial The Ontario Association of Architects (OAA) marks its 100th anniversary on Mar. 21st. On Mar. 21st, 1889, 63 architects from across Ontario gathered at the Queen's Hotel in Toronto, forming the OAA. Their goal was to establish an association that would im- prove professional standards and eventually have respon- sibility for licensing anyone practising architecture in On- tario. Today, the OAA has a memberhip of approximately 3,390. Attention Andy Brandt While I don't see it as my responsibility to explain my ac- tion to the Opposition at Queen's Park, I fed that I should corecK some misinformation that was spread by Andy Brandt in your February 22nd issue. Mr. Brandt complained that a number of North You Liberal MPP's had not spoken in the legislature on Bills 113 and Ill. and had therefore not represented their coristi- tuents. He named Gino Matrundola as one of those MPP's. First of all, if the Opposition would learn to make their points when speaking. rather than using up valuable legislative time by repeating the same things over and over, there would be more time for others to speak. However, after a year of delays by the Opposition, I felt that it was important for the legislature to move onto oche' things. Secondly, and more importantly, I felt that it was my du- ty to speak me -an -one to my constituents, and correct er- roneom statements that were being made by the opposition and published, rather than speak to other MPP's. I have spoken to hundreds of constituents, many of whom did not understand the intent of this legislation - Bill 113, which should more accurately be called Sunday closing legislation, rather than Sunday shopping legisla- tan, gives greater power to citizens and municipalities which want to remain closed on Sundays. Some of these in- creased powers include: increased fines up to the gross sales of the store on the day it opens Illegally: allowing advC=Z isements to be used as evidence of a store being il- legally open; allowing the obtaining of court orders requir ing stores to remain closed; and making leases that require a retail business to open on a holiday invalid The new legislation continues to provide a province -wide law requiring most stores to be closed on Sundays and holidays. It does allow a municipality, after lengthy public hearings, to amend some of the legislation to fit its own needs, if the citizens agree. It also allows merchants who close their stares on another day of the week, to observe their Sabbath, to open on Sunday. Ibis provision should allow aur law, if adopted unaltered by the municipality, to withstand Charter challenges as recently happened in British Columbia. As a result, this will allow municipalities whose citizen want to keep their communities closed on Sundays greater powers to ensure that they remain closed. I feel that I was elected to represent the people of Willowdale, and I have been doing this by speaking to the people who elected me, listening to their views, cresting with them at my offices, answering their correspondence, explaining the true meaning of the legislation and raising their concerns in the weekly government caucus meetings.

Crowds Inside my room I am safe No one here but me and my thoughts But outside my protective door, there is a crowd. This crowd wants too much of me This crowd is too big, too many obstacles in my way, Too many opinions and criticisms, Crowds scare me. They make me feel as if I am being judged, As if I am going to fail before I even try. Why is the world so crude. In a crowd I am stripped naked, All eyes are on me, they see me and my nakedness No, a crowd for me is not what you think I cannot hide among the people. I am not just another person. I am blind, and because of my blindness, The crowd too cannot see. Gaitrie Hansraj Pearson C. I. Here and There New Portable Disabled Person's Parking Per- mit do Bicycle Safety Laws Transportation Minster Ed Fulton has introduced new legislation to give disabled persons a portable parking per- mit, and to curb unsafe bicyclists. The measures are part of a comprehensive series of amendments to the highway Traffic Act, tabled in the On- tario Legislature. The portable disabled person's parking permit was designed with the help of the offices of the Ministers Responsible for Disabled Persons and Senior Citizens' Affairs, and the Ministries of Municipal Affairs and the Solicitor General. The portable disabled person's parking permit must be displayed on the sun visor or dashboard. It will replace the disabled symbol licence plate now issued by the ministry and permits issues by municipalities. Fulton said the portable permit, which was requested by organizations representing disabled and elderly persons, is more convenient for disabled drives or passengers who use more than one vehicle. The system will reduce present abuses of the disabled licence plate system because medical certification will be required when individuals app- ly for the new permit. Companies or organintions transporting disabled persons may also apply. The bicycle amendments confirm a bicycle as a vehicle subject to the same rules of the road as other vehicles. They also require that bicyclists in apparent contravention of the law must stop at the request of a police officer. and identify themselves. Additional requirements of the amendments are that bicycles have adequate brakes and must be walked, not rid- den, across pedestrian crosswalks. "Bicycles share the road with motor vehicles," said Fulton, "Therefore, cyclists should respect traffic signals and rules as the law requires of other drivers.'. The Transportation Minister pointed out that 34 cyclists were killed and over 5,000 injured in Ontario in 1947. In the majority of the accidents, the bicyclist was striving im- properly. Fifty-seven percent of the accidents were at in- tersections. Another safety provision of the proposed amendments Will reduce the number of small children travelling on laps or in the cargo area of vehicles. Drivers will be responsible for ensuring that children weighing under 23 kilograms oc- cupy any available seats fitted with seat belts. Springtime Canadian Craft Show & Sale Teachers Will Demonstrate On Apr. 1st - No Fooling! Ontario teachers will be arriving in Hamilton by the thousands on Sat. Apr. 1st to demonstrate their resolve to obtain an equal partnership with the Government of On- tario in the management of their pension funds. While members of the Liberal party are attending the Liberal Convention, members of the Ontario Teachers' Federation will gather at noon at the Hamilton City Hall and will march to the Convention Centre to protest propos- ed pension legislation due to be tabled in the House during April. "OTF was invited to the negotiating table by the Ontario Treasurer," said Alan Monks President of District 17, O.S.S.T.F., Durham. "file government proposed an oppor- tunity to build a new pension future together, a future in which teachers and government should be full and equal partners'. The reality of negotiations were in sharp con- trast to our expectations. To date the Government has been reluctant to enter into real negotiations which would recognize binding arbitration for resolving disputes. The government has decided to use its legislative majority to enforce an unfair deal on the teaches of Ontario." "Teaches from Durham are in full support of OTF's position that an equal partnership in the management of our' pension funds must be recognized by the Government," said Mr. Monks.

[ Business Community News J 25% Affordable Housing Too Much The Board of Trade of Metropolitan Toronto is seriously concerned over the provincial government's requirement that municipalities plan for at least 25 percent "affor- dable" housing. The board views this as an "arbitrary mechanism that is being used in place of potentially more concrete- efforts to supply affordable housing-" The board's comments on the draft policy have been presented to Minister of Housing Chaviva Hosek and Minister of Municipal Affairs John Eakins. "The board agrees with the province that supplying affordable, accessible and appropriate housing is a top priority but we feel a much broader strategy is needed to solve the crisis. This policy statement overlooks some of the perti- nent issues that have helped create a Lack of af- fordable housing in Metro and the Region," said Peter Gabor, Chairman of the board's Planning Com- mittee. The issues the board feels the government should be actively address- ing include: rat control WASHINGTON NATIONAL INSURANCE COMPANY Notice is hereby givsn.

PERRE r Chief Agent in Canada legislation; the supply and availability of serviced land; lot levies; and the lack of policy direction con- cerning the use of surplus provincial land for housing. In 1979, the board first recommended the phasing out of rent controls, a view still held today. Rent con- trols have had a pernicious effect on the supply of af- fordable rental housing and have virtually stopped all private construction of ren- tal units. "Rent control has halted the supply of affordable rental housing and the government must review its mandate on the subject and look to alternatives which will increase the sup- ply of rental units," warns Gabor. "We strongly encourage this government to show the courage and leadership necessary to restore market incentives and competition, thus stimulating production of affordable housing by the private sector," he added High lot levies contribute to the high cost of housing, says the board. The municipal levy is then built into the selling price of the home. and the homebuyer again pays for services through ply tax. The board suggests legislation be introduced to control municipal lot levy charges. In the past, lot Imes have been used to finance an excessive number of high quality/high cost softer services. In order to curb this practice, municipalities must be bound to use the levies for the specified pur- pose and area intended by the levy. The selling of lots in the Malvern community earlier this year is cited by the board as a poor exam- ple of provincial commit- ment to the housing crisis. The lots were sold for $120,000 and an additional $100,000 - $120,000 would be required to build a house on these properties, escalating the cost of one new home to over $200,000. The provincial guidelines state that in the 60th percentile an affordable home would cost $135,000. The board is also con- cerned with the lack of at- tention the draft policy pays to the province's "horsing -first" policy and the provision of surplus provincial land. The pro- vince should be actively promoting the variety of af- fordable housing available, particularly in the Metropolitan Toronto area, where the prospect of horrxwwnership is a dream to most. The federal government should also be encouraged to adopt a similar and com- plementary policy relating to federally owned or con- trolled land One way to increase the supply of affordable hous- ing in the rental market is to encourage higher densi- ty developments and not necessarily the typical high rise. The board suggests compatible low rise, townhouse and semi- detached deveiopcoent, led by the province as viable alternatives. The board does not believe that a 10 year horizon for the draft policy is realistic, given the pro- cess of amending official plans and zoning by-laws by the municipalities. The board feels these changes will require thoughtful in- put from a variety of grorqus. The Association of Municipalities of Ontario, and the Alliance for Hous- ing which represents a group of developers, landlords and property managers, have also responded negatively to the 25 percent affordable hous- CI-TYOF SCARBOROUGH Milner Avenue CorridortMalvem Gateway Transportation Study !!WE NEED YOUR ASSISTANCE!!

Following closure, the site will be transferred to the Parks & Property Dept. and developed as per the agreement between Metro and the City of Scar- borough. ,Earl Bales Park Metro Council in its meeting of Mar. loth, has approved of spending $200,000 for the provision of seats and safety rails for the Earl Bales Park Open Air Theatre. The Parks, Recreation and Property Committee of Metro is going to meet with representatives of the Skylight Theatre to discuss the outstanding work at the theatre. Summary ed respecting the Review Project, there was an in- creased understanding of the issues by both parties. A further meeting of the board's representatives with Consumer and Com- mercial Relations Minister William Wrye is in the pro- cess of being arranged. Metro Bd. of Trade Executive A Tinel to the Toronto Island Airport Speaking at a hearing on January 20th of the Royal Commission on Future of the Toronto Waterfront, headed by former Toronto Mayor David Crombie, Board President Peter Herrnant stressed that the board was not advocating expansion of runways at the Island Airport. Instead, the board is promoting a more efficient use of the airport because the com- muter air service at the airport provides vital links to other business centres and plays a role in reliev- ing some of the congestion at Pearson Airport. George Grant, a member of the board's Transporta- tion Committee that prepared the position, told the commission that the main obstruction to service at the airport is the unreliability of the ferry service between the bland Airport and the mainland Direct access for shuttle buses, service vehicles and emergency medical equip- ment should be provided by a tunnel. Extend Front Street Westward Extending Front Street from Bathurst to an inter- change with the Gardiner Expressway cleared its first hurdle recently when the City of Toronto City Services Committee ap- proved the Front Street Gardiner Inter- change road project. The board's Nov. 17, 19M submission in support of the extension was examin- ed by the Cby Services Committee and subse- quently was reported in a Toronto Star article on the committee's approval of this $86 million road exten- sion and interchange. The board's letter of support, developed by Transporta- tion Committee members. is based on the benefits of improved traffic circula- tion west of the downtown and better access to business west of the city core.

Mm. 22, 1988 Bill Watt's Worlds ON STAGE: The popularity of Victor Hugo's novels has always been a puzzlement to us. They are filled with darkness and despair only occasionally illuminated by a suggestion that virtue and goodness are rewarded this side of the timeless bourne from which no man has ever returned. Les Miserables is cer- tainly well titled and, to be candid, has never been one of our favourite boats. We don't like Oliver Twist, either. Yet the latter has been made into a fine, even joyous musical. Still, the idea of Les Miserables as a musical work quite staggered us when we fust heard a( it. After viewing it at the Royal Alex we are still staggered but by its im- pact. It is a monumental work, mom an opera than a •`traditiofnal" musical, that will unquestionably fond its way into the repertoire of opera. We will not attempt a narrative of Les Miserables; most readers know it, we are sure. Those who do not, will find it easy to follow in this reasonably faithful reworking. Just as the novel is in the grand manner, so is the stage production. It brooks no expense in mounting and none have been spared. This MirvishlMacintosh production is an expensive one but the expense has been well worth it. The sets are grand, the special effects those of the golden age of legitimate theatre and the orchestra, under the direction of Derek Bate, worthy of a major opera house. The score by Claude - Michel Schonberg is as melodious as that of most operas and the original lyrics of Herbert Kretzmer are served well in transla- tion. So then, one hopes that our words, however inade- quately, have served to state that Les Miserables is a major event in the theatrical world. It re- mains, however, that the whole, however magnifi- cent - we make no apology for the word - is still the sum of the parts.

Each role is a performer's dream and each performer in this pro- duction is the realized dream of an audience. We state that without ex- ception, each role is sung and acted to perfection. We also state that though on an opening night a cast can go over its head, such was not the case with the fine talent assembled for this produc- tion. Every performance will be as good as opening night. In such a large cast it is quite impossible, given the space limitations of this family journal, to list all. As we so often are forced to do, we ask readers, in- cluding the cast, to be assured that any not men- tioned should not feel slighted. All deserve deep bows of appreciation. As Jean Valjean, we can- not see that Michael Burgess can be improved upon. He is a fine actor who maIr es one believe the rage of an innocent man sublimated in the name of humanity. It is his singing voice though, that makes one pause. It is powerful and dramatic as one might expect but there is also an ineffable sweetness that br- ings the lump to the throat. Thomas Goerz is quite the finest Javett we have ever experienced. His voice, too. is truly fine but it is his reading of the role that is outstanding. Javert is, wrongly in our view, one of the most reviled characters in western world fiction and yet be is simply a man who selves the law as he sees it. Mr. Goat makes the audience see it too. Louise Pitre is excellent as Fantine.

Yes, we expect and believe that it is going to be part of the theatrical canon forever but damme, you should see it now! AFTERGLOW: After the opening night performance we were privileged to attend the black tie celebration party at the Fort York Armoury. Because of the vice -regal presence, security was tight and traffic initially difficult. No problem. We had accepted an invitation from Walt Grealis and Stan Klees of RPM Magazine to join them in a Star luxury stretch limousine. The party, about which move to come, was great but we could have pfartied in the limo! The music was good, the champagne and orange juice better and our driver was the best. Well done Star! The armoury was entered via red carpet through a replica of the Paris Barricade from Les Miserables guarded by constabulary. � been transformed into a gm's setting - Each table cascaded with flowers and at each setting there was a com- plimentary new edition of Les Miserables. Mumm's rhamptagne and B. & G. wines flowed while uniformed servitors prof- fered tartes nicoise, canapes, smoked salmon wrapped around hearts of palm and escargot in fine ley. Four buffet tables were bounteous with two kinds of salad, wild rice, shrimps provencale, breast of chicken with champagne and truffles and fine filet of beef with fora pepper sauce or sauce b6arnaise. Desserts were sump- tuous and difficult to select but we think our probable favourite was the strawberry compote with milk chocolate sauce. Egad! The music neve' stopped and it was a delight to see the cast enjoying themselves on the dance floor. The local moves and shakers were doing a pret- ty good job as well. Anne and Ed Mirvish chatted we're sure with everyone in attendance and Mr. M. was quite deter- minate that thanks for the success of the production would go to David Mirvish. Le beau geste from un beau gentil homme! One dislikes cliches but the show and the party tru- ly made for a night to remember. We most cer- tainly will.

Is the English sport cricket a variation of baseball? A.D. A. (ricket and baseball are two very different games. Cricket can trace its origins to the 1300's in England, whereas today's baseball did not begin until the IBM'& By the eighteenth century cricket was a very popular game and the first printed rules were published in 1744. Although the sport has undergone a few changes since then, today's version is very similar to that of 150 years ago. Cricket is most common in England and countries which were once British colonies, such as Australia, India, Sri Lanka, and New Zealand. A cricket match is played between two teams of 11 players each. But this is the only given in the game. The size and shape of the field and the equipment varies. Even the length of a match is not standard: a game can last from one to five days. PIay centers on two sets of wickets set about 22 yards apart in the center of the field. This area is called the "Pitch". The fielding team has a "bowler" who stands in front of one set of wickets and pitches the ball towards a "stricker", a member of the batting team who protects the other wickets by attempting to hit the ball into the field. After the hall is hit, the stricker can score runs by running back and forth in the pitch until the fielders return the ball. Two small pieces of wood, named bails, rest on top of the wickets. One must be knocked off with the ball before the runner has to stop. A game can consist of one or two periods, each called an "innings". The batting team's innings ends when ten of its eleven players are out. There are many ways a stricker may be put out. Two of the most direct ways are when the bowler knocks a bail off the stricker's wickets and when a ball is caught off the bat before it hits the ground. A match is won by the teamn with the most run. If a team has more runs in one innings than their opponents do in two, the last innings is not played.

Proposed Lot Levies Discussed Superintendent of Business Brian Cain reviewed with testees the Durham Board's Position Paper on Provincial Lot Levies. The Ministry of Education has proposed these optional levies on local property for develop- ment in order to finance growth -related capital costs for boards of educa- tion across Ontario. The board supports the concept of Lot Levies but opposes the proposed cut back in provincial capital grants from 75% to 60% on average. It wants assurance that growith boards will have equal ac- cess to dollars available for nor -new pupil place pro- jects in the anmual capital allocations. The Durham Board re- jects the concept of one Joint Trust Account for Lot Levies and proposes two Separate Trust Accounts allocating Lot Levies bet- ween the two local school boards on the basis of the ratio of residential and farm assessment as deter- mined by the last revised tax roll. Take Elements Into Consideration Inconsistent weather pat- terns this winter could pose a hazard to Ontario drivers this Easter holiday weekend. "Drivers should always take the elements into con- sideration and drive accor- dingly," said Insp. Bill Wickhrnd, Ontario Provin- cial Police traffic and marine section. "Drivers should watch their speed and increase stopping distance to prevent ac- cidents." Keeping headlights on during the day is another safety measure drivers should take. Temperature changes can cause fog pat- ches, and although having your headlights on during the day will not help you see, it will help you be seen. "It is important motorists drive within the speed limits, obey the rules of the road, and especially not drink and drive. OPP R.I.D.E. teams will be out in full force this Easter weekend," said Wicklund. Last year, six persons died in six fatal accidents on the Easter holiday weekend.
