Regional Taxes Up 19% by Gay Abbate Durham Council last week approved an $82.5 million operating budget which will add an extra $48.52 to the region's por- tion of the average proper- ty tax bill. The rest of the tax increase will be deter- mined by the local municipality and the school boards. The approved tax in- crease is .00% less than the hike approved in principal by council two weeks ago. A few last minute cuts reduced this year's tax levy slight1ly Not everyone approved the budget. Regional Chair- man Gary Herrema said another $3 million could have been cut out to reduce taxes. However, coun- cillors lacked the political will to make the cuts, he said. Councillor Margaret Shaw said the budget failed to protect the "forgotten people.. frau the large tax hike. She said each depart- ment should be made to cut 10.12% off their budgets.

The first major event which we were involved in was our annual "Reunion" bus trip to Amherst, NY. As usual, we were filled to capacity with three busloads of ladies freed from the fray of forced family foibles. Since such personages are consistently in a go -go- go mode, a weekend away does not change that, and so we went -went -went cone could substitute other beginning letters there if they so desired) . So great is the popularity of this event that four busloads are sold out for October, 1969. Our participation in the Ajax -Pickering Daffodil Drive is always a matter of satisfaction, and we were extremely pleased that we were sold out early this year in spite of the fact that extra daffodils were ordered. Sales were $24,743.30 for A -P. A huge round of applause must go to the social com- mittee who put on some truly excellent socials, in- cluding a full sit-down Christmas dinner. The final social was an ex- tremely well -kept secret executed by the husbands. A few highlights included waiting in the Ajax Go - Station for a half-hour dressed to the nines; a single yellow rose for each lady; wine and hors d'oeuvres at the Pickering dump; male folk leaving and returning in their Good Will bargains; a male stripper; a delicious meal oe.j:N SAVE UP TO 40% ON NEXT MONTHS N7J PHONE BILL!

For residents of the Town of Pickering, the regional increase means an average increase of $65.75, the largest in Durham. The im- pact of the budget on the in- dividual municipality is af- fected by its population and assessment growth. The Town of Brach has the smallest increase, an average $33.79 per household. One of the most con- troversial items in the budget was the $2 million included in the solid waste reserve fund. This is money being put aside so the region will have money to pay for a new dump site. The budget also included $625,000 for the 911 emergency telephone system and $1.2 million for renovations to horses for the aged. But the primary reason for the double digit tax in- crease is the 201 new staff positions including 101 police officers. Council has imposed a freeze on new hiring next year.

WHMIS Background and Trabdug Explained Supt. of Business Brian Cain brought trustees up to date on the background leading_ to the federal government's 1987 legisla- tion on WHMIS, Workplace Hazardous Materials Infor- mation System. Health & Safety Officer Coin Sexstone reviewed the staff training process undertaken in 1988 by the board. He explained that staff members who have received training are ex- pected to return to their workplaces and train fellow staff members. All Durham schools were re- quired to take a complete inventory of materials prior to February, 1989, and labelling kits have now been forwarded to them. Binders containing data sheets on hazardous pro- ducts should be in the schools early in the next school year. Colin Sexstone was commended. School Name Approved The unnamed Port Perry elementary school will be named S.A. Cawker PS after Durham Board's educator Sam Cawker. Born and raised in Port Perry, Sam Cawker began his teaching career in a one -room schoolhouse south of Caesarea. He later taught from 1934 to 1968 at R. H. Cornish PS where he became vice principal.

May 10, 1989 Opinion a page for expression for you and us On Gasoline Taxes "Gasoline taxes are the most regressive and discriminatory taxes in the government's tax arsenal," states Pat Curran of CAA Toronto. "The government's heavy handed treatment of gasoline taxes, in every federal budget since they came into power, has shown a complete departure from their previous con- cern for excessive gasoline taxation prior to their election in 1984. The fact is that when the Progressive Conservatives formed the government in September of 1984, the excise tax on gasoline stood at 6.8 cents a gallon (1.5 cents a litre). Since then it has been increased to its current rate, effec- tive immediately. of 34-1 5 cents a gallon for unleaded gasoline (7.5 cents a litre) and, if they continue with their projection of increasing it a further one cent Jan. 1, 1990, this will bring it to 38-3 4 cents a gallon - for excise tax alone. Added to this are the sales taxes which were approx- imately 16 cents a gallon before the budget and with the change in the federal sales tax of an additional 1%. this will increase it further. Prior to the budget, the federal govern- ment was collecting $4.5 billion on gasoline excise and sales taxes. The budget will cost Canadian motorists over $5.7 billion effective January 1, 1990 I with federal government expen- ditures on roads totalling 200 million dollars). Ontario government motorists taxes are an additional $1.6 billion. The combined federal excise and sales taxes will be costing motorists using unleaded gasoline approximately 55 cents a gallon. To this we must add the Ontario provincial gasoline taxes averaging approximately 42-12 cents a gallon on unleaded 19.3 cents a litre, bringing the total government gasoline close to a whopping $1.00 a gallon. What is most disturbing is the avowed intention of our governments to introduce fairness through tax reform. Fairness in taxation has been a very politically popular statement and yet our governments continue to attack motorists through extremely regressive and discriminatory gasoline taxes. Its regressiveness is inflationary and further impacts our total economy, with the higher costs of gasoline used by shippers and transport companies, etc. passed on to the consumer. thus adding to consumer costs. It is regressive in iL impact on our tourism industry, with fewer and fewer Americans coming to Canadawith gasoline costs being some 60% higher than the cost of gasoline in the United States. Taxes make up the bulk of that difference rather than the cost of gasoline itself. It is regressive in the fact that gasoline usage has no elasticity as do so-called 'SIN' products - alcohol and tobac- co. Gasoline is a necessity and the majority of motorists can not shrink their usage of gasoline as an option. What does this mean for the average motorist in Ontario" On an average. Ontario motorists can expect to pay close to $600 annually m gasoline taxes, but those in rural areas of Ontario and those who require their vehicle for daily con- duct of business. plus those who commute. could be paying closer to $1.200 a year in gasoline taxes. Here and There $22,000 For Puppet Centre The Ontario Puppetry Association will improve its pro- gramming and operating efficiency with the help of two grants ammounting to $22,000, Gino Matrundola t MPP- Willowdale has announced.

Calling Home Now Easier Calling home from the Netherlands is now easier, faster and in many cases• cheaper, with the expansion of Canada Direct service by Teleglobe Canada Inc. The service, available now in the Netherlands and seven other overseas countries by simply dialing a local number, puts travellers in direct contact with a telephone operator in Canada. This eliminates foreign language problems and time wasted waiting for your overseas calls to be placd by a foreign operator. It also considerably reduces or bypasses ex- cessive hotel surcharges for overseas calls. news '";ost Published every Wednesday by Watson Publishing Company Limited, Est. 1950 Postal Address: Box 111, Agincourt, Ont.

No relationship w•as found between the concentration level of any of the contaminants present, and distance from the stack and direction of the prevailing wind All con- taminants measured were at concentrations commonly found in industrial urban environments, except several dioxin results. $25 Million For Public Health Public health units will get an additional $Z million over the next four years to introduce new public health pro- grams, Health Minister Elinor Caplan has announced. The healthy adults program will encourage screening and early detection of breast cancer. cervical cancer and high blood pressure. The reproductive health program will stress preconception health education for the first time. Fent Propane Refrigerators Outdoors Only propane refrigerators that vent directly outdoors may be sold in Ontario. under a recent regulation announc- ed by the Ontario Ministry of Consumer and Commercial Relations. Propane refrigerates that vent uxbocs are not permit- ted in mobile housing or recreational vehicles. Because deadly amounts of carbon monoxide can build up inside, the safest place for the fumes to vent is outdoors. $1 Million In Research Grants Twelve applicants to the Ministry of Community and Social Services' Research Grants Program have been awarded a total of $1 million over a two year period. The grants program is administered on behalf of the ministry by the Ontario Mental Health Foundation. Architectural Conservation Grant The Ontario Historical Society will stage a province -wide series of workshops on architectural conservation with the help of a $24,000 provincial grant. The 23 workshops, to be presented throughout 1989, will be directed at Local Ar- chitectural Conservation Advisory Committees I LACAC I and other heritage organizations. Sending Kids To Camp Thousands of people in Southern Ontario and Atlantic Canada have begun their bid to lose weight and raise money to send children with diabetes to summer camp. The 'Weight Watchers Poundathon for Diabetes, 1989' is under- way. This is Poundathon's third year. Previously, Weight Wat- chers members raised over $55,000 for the Charles H. Best Foundation, the research branch of The Canadian Diabetes Association. This year's Poundathon promises to be even bigger and better. When developing a plan for Toronto's port industrial district, opportunities for conservation and public access to the water's edge had to be balanced against the need to create opportunities for new jobs and to maintain vital in- dustries, says the Toronto Harbour Commission's Director of Planning and Development. Speaking at the annual conference of the Ontario Associa- tion of Landscape Architects. John Jung stressed bow a stronger commitment must be made to the concept of sus- tainable development. He said decision makers in the political arena and in the private sector must also be educated about and committed to achieving sustainability and overall community health. "We must take the time and effort to ask ourselves if we have tried to allow for change over time." Mr. Jung said. "Have we tried to balance questions of environmental con- servation and the benefits derived of the development - be it economic, social or otherwise? Have we searched out all possible alternative actions to address the key issues and have we provided a mechanism for monitoring and evaluating our development.. If we have. be added, we've done well. It was that approach, Mr. Jung said, that was used for the development of Toronto's port industrial district, a 1,000 -acre redevelopment at the east end of Toronto's Inner harbour. Various aspects of the project were taken into con- sideration by a multi -disciplinary team which included ar- dritects. landscape architects, management consultants and engineers. They consulted with more than 40 agencies, industrialists and interest groups. What the team recoannended, Mr. Jung added, was dramatic but pragmatic. It advocated evolutionary change over the next 3D years and retention and reuse of valuable port infrastructure. By relocating and making more effi- cient overall port operations. it provided for the retention and expansion of valuable open space and water recreation resources. It also permitted the opening of lands for redevelopment purposes by proposing an expansion of the roads and services. But in so doing, it provided the means by which open space systems throughout the city, especial- ly along the waterfront and Don Valley system, could be linked to one another. $3Million For Human Rights Three million dollars in new funding will strengthen the Ontario Human Rights Commission's ability to respond more effectively to human rights complaints, bringing its 1969 90 budget to almost $11 million, Gerry Phillips, Minister of Citizenship and Minister Responsible for the On- tario Human Rights Commission, has announced. Approximately 75 percent of the $3 million in new funding will go directly toward the investigation and resolution of individual cases of discrimination. The new funding will also increase the Commission's effectivenes in addressing the causes of complaint.

What is not to like, even love? The Lehar music is always pleasant to the ear; enhanced by the John Lan- chberry arrangement and adaptation and played .superbly by the National's orchestra under the baton of Alan Barker it becomes almost a sensual thrill. The fin de si&gle scenery and costuming of Desmond Heeley is opulent; and the inspired lighting design of Michael Whitfield enhances all to a feeling of true beauty. Still, one attends ballet principally to enjoy the dancing. One is not disap- pointed with The Merry Widow. We are not suffi- ciently steeped in the technique of dance to deter- mine whether or not the choreography of Ronald Hynd is difficult; we know only that the National's dancers make it look easy and lighthearted. We suspect the apparent freedom of movement owes much to the flowing strains of Lehar. Let's suppose.however, that the choreography is 1 FAMILY DINNERS $11 9 PIECES OF FRIED CHICKEN Family size fresh cut fries Family size homemade salad b gravy 15 PIECES OF FRIED CHUEN Family size fresh cul fries Fancy size homemade salad 9 gravy 1 20 PIECES OF FRIED CHICKEN Family size fresh cut hies Family size homemade salad 9 gravy In 111,11 f1fMUM 282-214 Mother Around and About Your Dining &Entertainment Guide not challenging. Then, take the National's fine dancers and set them to the plea- sant task of matching movement to the music of Lehar. The result is an evening of dance that one wishes would never be over! On the evening of our at- tendance the role of Count Danilo was danced by Gregory Osborne whom we insist gets better each time we see him. We have com- mented before on his resemblance to George Washington. Well, put a moustache on him, as in this production, and one sees Omar Shariff. Mr. Shariff, however, could never be as witty as Mr. Osborne who can clown - well, almost -with the best of them. Yet, one must not forget that one is there to see him dance and, oh my, how he dances! In the joyous movements his loft equals that of a Schaufuss and his speed that of a younger Nure_mv.

PARTY SCENE I: The scene was the top floor of the Manulife Cen- tre; the occasion was the launching of a new, in- dependent record company and its initial single. The company is GCR and the single is Keeping You On My Mind by the young singer Robert Riley. The single deserves a full review and we'll deliver it soonest. We heard it, however, as background at the party and we suggest that a new Bobbie Curtola has appeared on the scene. Our thanks and best wishes to GCR founder and president Colleen Roberts for the opportunity to be in on something big at the beginning. Appreciation too for the hors d'oeuvres of Frank Massa. PARTY SCENE 1111: Then it was from the top to the bottom for a party at The Bottom Line in Yorkville in celebration of the federal government's three year old Sound Recording Development program (SRDP) . Minister of Communica- tions Marcel Masse was presented with four pla- ques by representatives of Factor, Musication Canada which administers four major components of the SDRP on behalf of the federal government. Among the many win- ners whose names appear on the plaque are Blue Rodeo, k.d. laog and Amos Garrett. The first two are well known but Amos Garrett? Well, Mr. Garrett is a drummer from the Maritimes who used to ap- pear often an Canadian television close to 30 years ago. !dice to see him finally getting some recognition. A good party and a good cause to celebrate. PARTY SCENE III: Legends and Illusions - The Magic of Fashion is a gala being presented by the City of North York as a benefit for the Multiple Sclerosis Society and the Seneca College of Applied Arts and Technology Fashion Program. The date is May 25th and the event is strictly black tie. It begins with a gourmet food and cham- pagne reception at 7 p.m. followed by a performance beginning at 9 p.m. Dinah Christie, Tom Kneebone and Jeff Hyslop appear with an 80 member cast of actors, musicians, models and stylists. We haven't been asked to tap dance but we expect a sum- mons to do so shortly. After the performance, there will be desserts and dancing. All this is at the Seneca College Minkler Auditorium and the cost is a not unreasonable $200. IN PRINT: We haven't heard to the contrary so must believe that Andrew Lloyd Web- ber's latest musical has now opened or will shortly. Readers will recall it's the musical from which Roger Moore departed in rehearsal stating that he didn't feel right for the part. The Musical is titled Aspects of Love and is from the book of the same title by David Garnett. Hogarth Press has published a special edition of it to coin- cide with the opening of the musical. After having read it, one can well understand why Mr. Moore wanted no part of it. One wonders as well how even the redoubtable Mr. Webber can make a musical out of it. It's a silly little confec- tion about a young man los- ing his mistress to his uncle and then being attracted years later to the daughter born out of the union of the uncle and the mistress. It is written by David Garnett and was first published in 1955. Reading it, it's difficult to determine whether Garnett influenc- ed 1'enfant terrible Fran- coise Sagan or vice versa but it's not really impor- tant. Neither is the book ex- cept possibly as a last flickering ember from a member of the much over rated Bloomsbury set. And, should Mr. Webber be able to turn it into a good musical -we said good. it's almost a given that it will be successful-aw will be able to achieve some minor cachet for having read its source. AT THE O'KEEFE: Anne Murray opens on May 17th at The O'Keefe and will be followed a week later by magician extraor- dinaire David Copperfield. Considering his ability to make things disappear, in- cluding the Statue of liber- ty, we have what we think is the solution to the nation's problems. Why not have the federal govern- ment hire him to make the deficit disappear? Just asking Mr. Wilson: just F�olloNnng David Copperfield will be K the musical Elvis. 29M Not sure if this is the musical that ap- peared a few years ago at the Royal Alex but whether it ST is or not, we look °°c°,t forward to it. bre %There's our old jar CHE of Greasy Kid 6BQ Stuff? and Al.

We have fond memories of the Rodgers and Hart musical version titled The Boys from Syracuse. It starred Jim- my Savo and Lorenz Hart's brother Teddy as the twins. We mention all that because it occurs to us the Rodgers and Hart score could be well used as in- cidential musical for the production. Just a sugges- tion. AT TWILIGHT: One of our favourite organists as a youth was Jesse Crawford and par- ticularly enjoyed was his playing of When the Organ Played at Twilight. Well, the organist at next Wednesday's Roy Thomson Hall Twilight Organ Recital will be Paul Busato. The gentleman is not known to us but his scheduled program is most impressive and will include Debussy's Au Claire de la Lune. Also on the program will be Flight of the Bum- ble Bee and that should really be something to bear on the mighty Roy Thom- son organ' FAST EXIT: Jane Corkin of the Jane Cortin Gallery has just paid $116,000 U.S. for a photograph at auction in Sotheby's New York. It is the highest price ever paid for a photograph at a public auction.

May 10, 1989 THE NEWS/ POST Page 7 "" e — Children's Festival At Harbourfront '- Once again Harbour - front, together with the Milk Marketing Board have been busy working to bring the public the best ever Children's Festival. Children and adults are in- vited to experience the in- toxicating magic of this an- nual performing arts celebration of theatre, music and dance from across the globe on Vic- toria Day weekend. Non-stop captivating per- formances presented by The First Bubble Festival At Ontario Science Centre Just add liquid detergent and glycerine to water and you can make bubbles of all shapes and sizes exactly like Ontario Science Centre teacher Peter Harris. It's that easy. But to make 12 -sided bub- bles and bubbles within bubbles, you'll have to at- tend the First Bubble Festival at the Science Centre on May 13 and 14. That's where you'll get tips on exact proportions of the three key ingredients of a bubble -making solution. 'For good measure, Peter will also demonstrate the principles of geometry, col- or and buoyancy in the science of bubble -making. Three 30 -minute daily demonstrations will be of- fered. Instructions on how to make bubble rings from easily available materials such as hangers, string, straws and pipe cleaner are also on the agenda for the two-day Bubble Festival. A Mother's Day Outing A special Mother's Day treat this year is a trip to The Civic Garden Centre on May 13th from 12 noon to 6 p.m., and May 14th from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. to choose an exquisite basket from the centre's Habib Basket Sale. The day can be made doubly enjoyable with a visit to The Southern On- tario Orchid Society Show which is on at the centre at the same time. The baskets have been selected by the centre's horticulturist, taking into account the need, at unbeatable prices, for varieties for both scut and shade. This is a gift that can be enjoyed for many months to home. All of the centre's plant sales help to raise funds for The Civic Garden Centre. a non-profit, volunteer -based organisation based on the promotion of horticultural information and the floral arts. There is no other place in Toronto where you can (receive free gardening in- formation and solutions to your gig pr'obliems from caring experts. Public support keeps the centre growing.

LtravelJ A Sightseeing Tour Of Barbados Historic Churches Religion is an intrinsic part of life in Barbados and the spiritual landscape of the island is steeped in the traditions of over 40 dif- ferent religious groups. Churches constitute one of the largest number of historic buildings found on the island and are ideal stopovers while on the sightseeing trail. Most churches in Bar- bados were built by the Europeans who first settled the island in the 17th cen- tury. By far the oldest church on the island is St. James Church in Holetown. First built about 1629, this ancient structure was ruin- ed by a hurricane in 1780. It is believed that the church was rebuilt on the founda- tion of the original building. In the church is a famous old bell dated 1696, inscribed "God Bless King William". St. George Church in the Southern Parishes is among the oldest churches in Barbados. Built in 1784 in a Georgian style, it is one of the more distinctive chur- ches of the island and hosts treasures dating back to the 17th century. The Sharon Chapel in St. Thomas is one of Barbados' most interesting buildings and is one of few to stand in its original 18th century state. The chapel was built n by Moravia, the first missionaries to bring education and Christianity to Barbados. It was built in an architectural style reminiscent to the mis- sionaries' homeland of Germany. Also found in St. Thomas is the St. Thomas Church. an example of resounding faith and determination. Hit by four hurricanes and rebuilt every time, the church is one of the original parish churches of the island. The St. John's Parish Church, set on a cliff, holds a breathtaking view of the Atlantic Ocean and the rug- ged coast of St. John. Gothic in style, the church was originally built in 1660, but was rebuilt after the hurricane of 1831. Of special interest is a pulpit carved by Benjamin Thorne which is made of six different kinds of wood. The Chapel of the Holy Cross in St. John, built in 1833 is one of the prettiest Barbadian churches. It is situated on Hackleton's Cliff overlooking Codr- ington College and Consett Bay. In an ancient tree filled churchyard in Bridgetown sits one of Barbados' most impressive places of wor- ship - St. Michael's Cathedral.

Queen's Park Report from Norah Stoner MPP Durham West On Apr. 25, the second session of the 34th Parliament opened with the Speech from the Throne. Read by Lieute- nant Governor Lincoln Alexander, the speech set the pace for the active legislative session ahead by focusing on six key priorities: the economy, education, social assistance reform, safe and secure communities, health and en- vironmental protection. These six key areas are of major importance to the residents of Durham West as well as all residents across Ontario. In order to sustain a dynamic economy, the Ontario Government will aggressively pursue new markets for our goods and services. By providing support to Ontario -based companies as they compete globally, this government will foster an entrepreneurial culture which rewards businesses that strengthen the competitive position of our economy and labour force. To guarantee that our workers will have the necessary skills required to drive Ontario's economy into the 21st cen- tury, this government's primary emphasis will be on im- proving education, training, and adjustment programs. In keeping with the Ontario government's belief that children have the capacity to benefit from education at an early age, all schools boards will offer half-day kindergarten for four year olds as well as half-day senior kindergarten for fire year olds. Funding will also be provid- ed to those school boards that have the classroom space to offer full-day senior kindergarten programs. The opportunities Ontario's future can provide must be accessible to all its people. Yet in the midst of great wealth, the number of Ontanans requiring social assistance con- tinues artinues to grow despite a 60 percent increase in benefits since 196445. Poverty continues to sap the initiative of one of our greatest resources - children. To counter this tremendous las of individual potential, the Ontario Government is committed to assisting in- dividuals to bridge the gap between dependence and self- sufficiency. Transforming welfare cheques into pay che- ques must be a shared rsponsibility between all levels of government. The Ontario government will take the lead by providing increased shelter support and child benefit payments, removing disincentives to work and expanding employ- ment counselling and basic training. Protecting the quality of life throughout Ontario's many communities is a priority. Our sefety and security runs the risk of compromise through drug and alcohol abuse, racial tension and violence. To ensure that Ontario remains the preferred home of its citizens, the government will introduce a comprehensive anti-drug strategy focusing on education, prevention and treatment. Access to quality healthcare regardless of ability to pay remains the cornerstone of the government's commitment to the well-being of Ontario's people. The Premier's Council on Health Strategy, established in 1987 has identified several health goals. Good health depends upon a safe en- vironment and relies more on disease prevention and community-based care and less on irhstitutionalization. Recognizing the contribution that a clean environment af- fords in the pursuit of good health, the government will core tinue to demonstrate leadership in environmental protec- tion. We will encourage everyone to participate in the 4R's: reducing, reusing. recycling, and recovering waste. A new lottery fund, "Cleantario" will help finance our on-going ef- forts to protect our air, water and food. This government will continue to seek innovative ways to deal with Ontario's challenges. It will introduce new pro- grams that address every -changing needs. But the Peter- son government's commitment to an active and reform agenda remains constant.
