Durham Region District Health Council Notes Community Programs Work Group (Whitbv Psychiatric Hospital Redevelopment) The Work Group has prepared a draft proposal for a Regional Ad- ministrative Body to deal with coordination of community-based services as the WPH is downsized. The goal is to improve the quality of care for severely mentally disabled people living in the community. To achieve this goal, a range of services must be in- tegrated to provide con- tinuity of care and produce a community-based system. The coordinating mechanism proposed to do this is the "Regional Ad- ministrative Body" which would be accountable for efficient, effective service delivery within the catch- ment area. Two joint meetings have been held by council's Mental Health Committee and the Mental Health Providers of Durham Region to com- ment on the proposal. Sug- gestions for improvement have been taken to the Work Group to be incor- porated into the final draft. Graham Report A subcommittee of the Mental Health Committee has been formed to review the Graham report, "A Plan for Mental Health in Ontario". Linda Kydd, CMHA Durham (com- munity), Daniel LeBlanc (lay person), and Dr. Amy 'Goldwater (clinical) will condense the report and ad- vise the committee of its contents and recommenda- tions. Psychiatric Beds Thirty five psychiatic beds were approved by the Minister of Health in 1987 for allocation to Durham Region general hospitals. Council and Mental Health Committee members thoroughly discussed the possible distribution of these beds in the region. Council approved the recommendation to allocate 20 psychiatric beds to the Ajax and Pickering General Hospital, to be in- cluded in their expansion, and immediate allocation of 15 beds to Oshawa General Hospital with 20 additional beds, associated with the redevelopment of the WPH, being allocated in 1991. Council further recommended that com- munity support programs be ensured for both general hospitals.

Serving the Community for 24 Years! Big Boards Ban Together Representatives of the eight largest growth school boards in Southern Ontario met today to discuss the crisis each is facing in try- ing to provide new schools in the midst of rapid growth and declining pro- vincial funding. The Growth Boards Coalition is made up of the Roman Catholic Separate School Boards and the Public Boards in the regions of Peel, Halton, York and Durham. The boards decided on Mar. 20th to form a coali- tion to seek creative solu- tiotes to the accommodation problem. All eight boards are in favour of a proposal, by the Ontario Treasurer, that would give school boards the option to collect lot levies on newly con- structed houses and use the money to build new schools. Carolyn Parrish, Chair- man of The Peel Board of Education, said, "The fact that the eight largest school boards in Southern Ontario met today is a dramatic message to the province. We represent almost 40o,000 students. The taxpayers are tired of their children being educated in temporary ac- commodation. We intend to work together to get our message to the Premier." Educators' Breakfast What better way to start Education Week than with a breakfast for students, parents and teachers. Because of its past suc- cess and popularity, the Ontario Public School Teachers' Federation, Durham District, will spon- sor its 13th annual Educators' Breakfast on Fri.

As well as parents, students, teachers and in- terested members of the community, such notables as Gary Herrerna, MPP Bill Ballinger, MPP Allan Furlong, MPP Nora Stoner. MP Ed Broadbent, MP Scott Fennel, MPP Mike Breaugh and MPP Sam Cureatz have been in- vited to attend.

Apr. 5, 1989 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Re The Rouge Valley To The Hon. David Peterson Premier of Ontario Please add this club to the rapidly expanding list of groups and individuals who are very, very disturbed by the continuing threat to the Rouge area. Having our roots in Scarborough, we might be expected to resist degradation of Scarborough by external forces. However, we believe we speak for a majority of thinking business people and professionals everywhere when we urge that the long view be taken. Planning should not be short term and expedient, especially when it results from earlier failure to deal with the utterly predictable problem of garbage disposal. We regard it as disgraceful that any political or public group should contemplate destruction of this area simply in order to alleviate the effects of failing to pian adequately for the inevitable consequences of urbanization. It seems to us that the failure lies in not recognizing that this land, this priceless natural enclave, is not ours to destroy. It should be viewed as belonging to future genera- tions. Those generations will for ever appreciate it if saved. Once gone it can never be restored. As individuals accustomed to planning our own lives with some care. we are often forced to go around obstacles set in our paths. For most of us. there is no easy way. some hurdles cannot be removed. We are not. therefore. inclined to sit back quietly when we see bodies which are supposed to act in the public interest, taking the easy way - in this in- stance proposing to dump garbage in the one open clean space we have left. or to cess -cross it with roads. This is ex- pediency of the worst sort. We suggest that planning should be based on the simple assumption that The Rouge Area is not there - there is an empty space on the map which is inviolable. Such an ap- proach would at least clear the minds of those involved, clear then of the temptation to fall back on the easy route at every turn and lead us to hand on this heritage to the generations which follow. Environmental. placating and transportation matters are dealt with by many levels of government and in many departments. but all may be influenced by the Province. We asks, therefore. that you acknowledge the growing cry to protect the Rouge. Please use your personal and titular in- fluence to protect the future of this area. We will, of course. be bringing our position to the atten- tion of many others. Yours faithfully. on behalf of all members, Art Philips President Rotary Club of Scarborough Bluffs We're The Oldest Dear Sirs I read with enjoyment your March 22 issue and front page article of Tom Bosley being elected OREA Vice -President. Your article went on to state that the Bosley firm was Toronto's oldest family owned real estate firm.

St. Jerome's Graduates Meet in Toronto Graduates of the University of St. Jerome's College in Waterloo now living in the Toronto area are invited to at- tend a special 125th Anniversary reception at Queen's Park.

Municipal Taxes by Andy Brandt, MPP Leader of the Ontario Progressive Conservative Party Don't blame your local city councillor if your taxes go up this year or if the potholes in your roads aren't repaired. For the first time in decades, the provincial Treasurer Bob Nixon has frozen grants to municipalities for such things as roads, policing, seniors' services and daycare. That means the burden to pay for these necessary ser- vices will now fall squarely on the shoulders of you, the local taxpayer. The Association of Municipalities of Ontario estimates the provincial grant freeze will result in a significant in- crease on every household's property tax bill this year simply to keep up with inflation. And for residents of northern Ontario, the news is even worse, with an expected $80 per household hike. This "pass -the -buck" approach seems to be running amok in the provincial government as more and more responsibilities are shifted from the province to the municipality. First there was Sunday shopping. And just last month, the government decided to "pass -the -buck" on security for our courthouses from the province to the municipality. In London, for example, that will cost the city an additional one million dollars and in my own community of Sarnia, another $500.000. We, on the opposition side of the Ontario legislature, have been telling the provincial government that passing the buck isn't fooling anyone. The money all comes from the same source - the pocket of you, the taxpayer. Don't forget that the Ontario Treasurer collected an extra $1.3 billion in taxes last year thanks to the new eight percent retail sales tax. Now, he's forcing local municipalities to tax all of us even more. Frankly, I think it's long past the time we tell Bob Nixon that the well has run dry. A Dwelling Without A Pet Is Not Home Dear Sir: It is "Positively" the most disgusting miscarriage of justice when people must part with their beloved pet I s ► in order to qualify as a suitable tenant of an apartment or because of the decisions made by incompetent judges who serve to fulfill the immoral desires of inhuman landlords. The medical profession has recognized that pets are very beneficial to humans but because of the inflated cost of liv- ing and the housing shortage in our society. pet owning apartment dwellers are denied the privilege granted to those living in houses, which establishes them as Second - Rate Qtisles. They are "Forced" to sign, Under Duress, rental contracts with a No Pets clause. The No Pets clause is a cause of dissension in our society because thee is no justifiable purpose for this clause in any rental contract, as pets are already adequately covered in clause 109 ( 1) (c) of the Landlord and Tenant Act. Therefore, the No Pets clause is Redundant. Detrimental and Unconstitutional and Must be Eliminated from "AU" rental contracts so that this injustice can never happen to "Anyone" again. Everyone in Ontario must have an equal right to have a reasonable number of pets, of their choice, excluding wild or exotic types, in whatever type of dwelling they may choose to live, provided they are capable and willing to care for them properly. This decision must Not be based on expe- diency but rather on what is Just. Mac Richards 4110 Lawrence Ave. E. No. 1007 Scarborough (lent.

Business Community News Accounting For Your Money "That's okay, I can always write it off," is a common expression at the conclusion of a business luncheon, but many self- employed taxpayers are finding that it's a practice that is coming under closer scrutiny by Revenue Canada. When determining whether a luncheon or any other expenditure is deduc- tible in computing income, there is one basic rule: the expenditure must be made for the purpose of gaining or producing income for the business. This is called the business purpose test, and is an area of frequent disagreement between tax- payers and Revenue Canada. An expense may appear very legitimate to a tax- payer, but Revenue Canada may take a dif- ferent view, and consider the expense personal in nature. Unfortunately for many taxpayers. the onus of pro- of rests with the taxpayer and they find themselves unable to justify the business purpose of the ex- pense- One of the areas of fre- quent contention concerns business meetings. "Business rneetings," run the gamut from a basic hunch to a convention. very few of these disputes ever get into the courts and the vast majority are settled at the appeals level of Revenue Canada. A recent case before the Tax Court provides some insight into how the courts view business meeting ex- penses. The case involved a husband and wife who were Amway distributors in Saskatchewan and who had claimed business related expenses involving accom- modation and travel from L978 to 1980. The meetings were held in western Canada and in San Deigo, California, Hawaii and Phoenix, Arizona. Revenue Canada disallowed all the expenses claimed with the exception of "rallies" held in their horse area. In Revenue Canada's opi- nion, the meetings for which expenses had been disallowed were motiva- tional in nature and thus capital expenses. Nor were they within the territorial scope of the taxpayers' business. This being the case, the expenses would be for per- sonal rather than business purposes. Revenue Canada argued that the expenses for the trips to Hawaii, San Diego and Phoenix were personal living expenses and were not reasonable tender the circumstances. The taxpayers countered that in order to be suc- cessful in their business, they had to attend such meetings. It was at these meetings they learned about new products, sales techniques and interacted with successful Amway distributors. The court found in favour of the taxpayers, which was something of a sur- prise. The same court had dismissed identical ap- peals from Amway distributors in 1983, 1985 At the opening night gala for the fifth Festival of Cana- dian Fashion held at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre. Ontario Premier David Peterson presented the 1989 Woolmark Design Award to Montreal designer Pierre Poisson. ( Photo -Kin Wong) Metro Toronto Bd. of Trade Executive Summary Draft Gaidelines On Sec- tiou 23 of the Ontario Hama. Rights Code Section 23 of the Ontario Human Rights Code allows what would otherwise be discriminatory employ- ment practices in certain circumstances. The com- mission has developed draft guidelines for the in- terpretation of this section. In its review of these guidelines, the board ex- presses its concern that certain examples of discrimination in the Draft Guidelines are ambiguous. Addendum to Ontario Pre - Budget Submission on Ap- preatiee Training In an addendum to the board's Jan. 19, 1989 pre- budget submission on economic and tax policy commentary. another op- portunity to highlight ap- prenticeship issues with the Treasurer of Ontario was taken. The board call- ed for renewed efforts to ............. ... . and 1986. Why did the court see fit to grant these taxpayers' appeal and not the earlier claims" The court took into account the taxpayers' ac- tivities at these meetings. They were able to prove that they attended the workshops and sales rallies rather than just partaking in the social events. This was the lynchpin of their argument. If you are in a position which necessitates atten- dance at business meetings, here are a few tips that will make if easier to defend a potential disallowance by Revenue Canada: • keep all receipts related to the meeting ' keep any promotional materials from the meeting • take a few moments to itemize who attended the meeting, the purpose of your attendance and your activities where social functions are involved do not deduct any portion of the expenses that are ;personal such as the cost of your spouse attending where such attendance is not required be sure to deduct reasonable expenses since Revenue Canada frowns on expenses that are out of line with revenues. resolve these appren- ticeship training issues by: the need for further con- sultation on financing; con- cern over the use of UI payer as income sup- port for apprentices; reconsideration of appear rices as students; greater awareness that appren- ticeship supplies tradesmen that are cur- rently in short supply and critical to Ontario's future. University of Waterloo Proposal to Establish Honours B.A. (Interna- tional Trade) Undergraduate Degree Carse At the suggestion of the Premier of Ontario and The Ontario Minister of Colleges and Universities, the board has sent its sub- mission in support of the University of Waterloo's proposal to establish an Honours B.A. (Interna- tional Trade) Undergraduate Degree Course to the Ontario Coun- cil on University Affairs. The board's first submis- sion in support of this co- operative education pro- gram at the University of Waterloo was sent to the Premier and various On- tario Ministers late in 1988. In favourable responses to that submission by both the Premier and the College and Universities Minister, it was pointed out that the Ontario Council on Univer- sity Affairs will determine whether the proposed course qualifies for funding eligibility. The board believes that, in view of a lack of any comprehensive secondary or post- secondary courses in inter- national marketing, Cana- dian expertise in this im- portant economic area could result in Canada becoming less competitive in increasingly aggressive international markets. With centres for Interna- tional Business now established at York, Laurier and the University of Toronto, the board recommends the establish- ment of a specialized undergraduate university level course as an urgent step to provide Canadians with a complete education in international trade and marketing.

In all three one is aware of cor- rectly measured cadence but the feel of the musical forms does not come through. Perhaps one might better suggest that they lack truth. One makes the same comment about the Latin Suite composed by Miss Boyd. Carnival, Ensueno and Parranda all have the correct beat or tempo but none of the expected fire. Is that notwithstanding or because of the Savarez str- ings that Miss Boyd uses? Shadows of the Wind has an ethereal presence to it that clings rather than haunts and O Mio Babbino Caro has a Neapolitan quality to it that almost evokes the mandolin. The prize piece is the Prelude, Nocturne and Waltz from Chopin. Here, the lady comes truly into her own with impeccable precision and careful atten- tion to her own transcrip- tion. Alknv us please a redun- dancy as we request another Encore. From W3 in Los Angeles comes advice that Bain- bridge Records has releas- ed I'll Still Be Loving You by Johnny Smith and the New Ink Spots, a collection of contemporary pop tunes sung in the vocal style of the original Ink Spots. Johnny Smith was with the beloved originals as a utility singer starting in ISM so these should be a ring of authenticity about the new album. We are advised that the New Ink Spots have the en- dorsement of Audrey Ken- ny, widow of Bill Kenny. Looking forward to hearing it. MOVIE SCENE: Opening tonight at Cinesphere in Ontario Place is the new edition of the Imax Film Festival. Featured will be Speed, an exciting piece of cinematography which we've seen previous- ly and a new film titl- ed Hawaii. If all goes as plann- ed we will have been In attendance last night for an invita- tional showing. Publishing deadlines, however, are such that we can- not comment on the latter film at this time. Still, it seems to us that an Imax film about Hawaii can hardly be miss. Review follows soonest. How sad to read of the passing of Barry 4 Carnon, director of advertising and publicity for Univer- sal I MCA, Canada. When we first started do- ing motion picture reviews on the old Daybeat show, Mr. Carrion was one of the first people we contacted. He was always gracious and helpful. In an industry where Fine personal qualities are sometimes regarded as outdated Mr. Carnon qualified as a prince. He was a fine man and we shall miss him. Rest well dear gentleman. BILLY D. KIDD'S NOTEBOOK: The next classical cabaret in the George Ig- natieff Theatre will be held this Sunday at 3 p.m. Artists will be Mary Lou Fallis and Joel Quarr- ington. Despite their un- doubted talent we rather imagine that the star of the afternoon will be the well liked and witty Gary Lautem. One wonders if he will tell the story of the con- tretemps in his living room between Charles Templeton and John Spragett. Delicious! Golden Daffodils. the Canadian Cancer Society Fashion Show will be held next Wednesday at the Metro Convention Centre. Creeds will unveil its Spr- ing collection from such designers as Chloe, Mon- tana. Lacroix and others. The fashion show begins at 8: 3o but there will be a B. & G. French wine tasting from 7 p.m. Ducats are a modest $50 per person and are available at Creeds or through Tidketron. On Thurs. Apr. 13th, Roy Thomson Hall presents the popular Geritol Follies. This Hamilton troupe is made up of more than 70 performers each one of whom is at least 6o years of age. Perhaps the show should be renamed Sugar Babies. Performance time is 2 p.m. and there is a special discount for seniors. Wonder if at long last we'll see a genuine buck and wing. Hoo boy, have we dated ourself! IN PRINT: When reviewing The Makropolous Case recently we allowed as how we didn't care for the music of Janacek. We now fund that his music was not as good as it perhaps should have been because of his other interests. He died at the age of 74 in the arms of his mistress. It seems that he was applying himself allegro con brio but his heart could only answer diminuendo. That's taken from Even Greater Sexual Disasters (Grafton/Collins) and should not, we hope, be con- fused with Geritol Follies. 1,41,04 Wech A CHILDREN'S MUSICAL CONCERT at David & Mar Collegiate Saturday April 8 - �0 pm 8t 3:30 pm Ir Special Fund Raiser for Youth Assisting Youth - Tickets - $6.00 Available at Y.A.Y. office 265-3802 After the concert children will have hours of fun reading or colouring along while listening to their fovourite music.

Bright green potato fields interwoven with rust - red roads set against a stark blue sky confirm that this is The Fairest Land 'tis Possible to See'. ( These were the famed words spoken by explorer Jac- ques Cartier when he fust sighted Prince Edward Wand in 1534.) In addition to leading the island in potato production, Prince Cownty is also the original home of the world- famous Malpeque oyster.

Moss harvesting is an un - portant part of the fishery, to view of the fact that nearly 50% of the world's moss supply is harvested on Prince Edward Island. Irish moss, a type of seaweed, is used to produce Carrageenan, which in turn is used as an emulsifier in ice cream, toothpaste, cough syrup, etc. The West Prince region also has some charming at- tractions for visitors.

Queen's Park Report from Norah Stoner MPP Durham West The Provincial Government is taking a leading role in practicing the 4Rs of waste: reuse, recycling, reduction, and recovery. It hopes by the year 2000, 50 percent of On- tario's household and commercial -industrial waste will be diverted to constructive uses. Environment Minister Jim Bradley called on all on- tarians to challenge and "use our ingenuity to turn our throw -away society into an environmentally sustainable society." "We must," the Minister added, "divert mountains of garbage from landfill and incineration by recycling used resources back into the production stream.' By 1992, the government aims to divert 25 percent of municipal solid waste from landfill and incineration - both household and commercial -industrial - to recycling. By the year 2000, the government aims to divert from landfill and incineration half of Ontario's garbage. "Every community and institution in Ontario, including the Provincial government, will have to change its wasteful ways to achieve these reduction and recycling goals," Mr. Bradley stated. The government's goal in its own activities is to reach the 50 percent target well before the year 2000 and to share its experience with municipalities, the private sector and the federal government. Measures taken include purchasing policies supporting markets for recycled products, restric- tions on non-recyclableinon-reusable goods within govern- ment and maximum recycling or recovery of materials such as office paper and cafeteria waste. To reach the diversion goals for the entire province, the government intends to implement a number of reforms and programs, including an expansion of the successful Blue Box Recycling initiative. Since 1985, the government has increased funding tenfold for household recwccling. Municipalities and industry have joined in, and the Blue Box curbside recycling program has expanded from 40,000 households in 1985 to 1.4 million to- day. Mr. Bradley said that the Blue Box program is one in- itiative that is irhtended to "ed the careless Throw -away Era in Ontario... Interest-free loons of up to $3,000 are available to qualify- ing students under the Student Venture Capital Program to start a surnmer business. The program is sponsored by the Ontario Ministry of Skills Development, the Royal Bank of Canada and the On- tario Chamber of Commerce. Under the program, proposals are assessed by local Chambers of Commerce and Boards of Trade, such as the Ajax -Pickering Board of Trade, which make recommenda- tions to the Ministry on whether an application should be approved. If the Ministry approves the application it pro- vides the Royal Bank with the authority to issue the loan. The applicant fills out the same kind of paperwork as any business and has to provide a project description, including a marketing plan. The Ministry of Skills Development says projects run by students range from basics like odd jobs, house painting and food services to more complicated projects such as building boats. About 1,500 students are expected to take part in the program this year. To be eligible a student must be returning to high school or a post secondary institution as a full time student in the fall and must be 15 years of age or over when the bah is issued. Students under 18 have to have a guarantor to obtain a loan. The business must be operated in Ontario and fall within the generally accepted definitions of an independent business. Loans issued under the Program are payable in full by the last working day of September. The Ministry has some tips for students interested in the program, including using experience either from wont or through a hobby as a basis for a business and talking with people in the community about an idea. Another youth employment initiative supported by the Ministry of Skills Development is the Youth Venture Capital Program, which provides loans of up to $7,500 to start-up a business. The loans, which are interest-free for the fust year of the five-year term, are available to qualify- ing young people between 18 and 24 who are not going to school full time or those between 25 and 29 who, in the past year, have graduated from a college or university or ob- tained a trade certificate and are no longer attending school full time. Application forms, which detail guidelines for both pro- grams, are available at my constituency office (Office Unit No -1, 2 Randall Drive, Pickering Village, 683-6707) or by calling 1-800-387-1290. The Boards of Trade and Chambers of Commerce will accept applications for the Student Ven- ture Capital Program until the second week of June. NORAH'S NOTES: Application forms for summer employment at Ontario Place in Toronto can be obtained at my constituency office as well. There is also a booklet available describing the kinds of jobs at Ontario Place, including such areas as marketing and public relations, security, office/clerical, hosting/guest services, maintenance, programm- ing/technical, and purchasing. The 1969 operating season runs from May 18th to September 4th. The Ministry of Culture and Communications has award- ed a $9,000 grant to the Ajax Public Library, The money will be used to hire an intern librarian.
