Trustees are requesting. through the Ontario Public School Boards' Associa- ble, that the legislation on pooling include a clatase reflecting the government's promise that public boards would not lose funds as a result of pooling_ SALEP ANNUAL REPORT RECEIVED The board received the Supervised Alternative Learning for Excused Pupils Annual Report, as presented by SALEP liaison teacher Maureen Elam.

Canadianism Is First Multiculturalism Is Second Page 2 THE NEWS POST lied. Dec. 9-0.1999 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Season's Greetings by Bob Watson This is the time of year that we are supposed to really en- joy - and I believe we will. However, the elected representatives at both Ottawa and Queen's Park are not making life that easy for most of us with taxes on every sort of product and service as well as in- come. Just tightening our belts, they say, but these two levels of government are not reducing their administration or costs of running their governments. Oh. the :Mulroney government has come up with a cut of 81.4 billion in spending but this is peanuts compared to the huge annual deficit of 825 to 830 billion. But what the situa- tion needs is a drastic reduction in dishing out money needlessly to groups and people and to reducing the amount of civil servants employed by our federal government. For our children alone we should be tackling the federal deficit head on and paying the bills of the past now - not in the future' Then there is the nice provincial government sitting there at Queen's Park taxing us neatly in business for OHIP. in- stead of the human beings who use the medical plan paying their share. Mr. Nixon's nice tax on large commercial and industrial properties has resulted in many ordinary tax- payers now having to pay that tax through their parking fees at downtown Toronto locations. And our lovely provincial government is also not con- tributing to local government costs which the prop -Ince demands that local government pay. Take education costs. which are not a property tax cost really. but should be com- ing out of income tax. Metro taxpayers get nothing from the province in grants for the public schools but the rest of the province gets grants from Queen's Park. Take day care and welfare expenditures. These original - h• came from the provincial government but now the load is being left on the shoulders of the property taxpayer. If Metro Toronto is going to have a reasonable property tax in 1990. it will have to slash many welfare and day care costs as well as restricting the amount of money the police dept. nerds to do its job of looking after provincial courts that Queen's Park used to finance. Of course. when you add all of these matters together you end up with a country that is going to suffer an economic depression because of the stupidity of higher levels of government not to mention the head of the Bank of Canada who seems determined to destroy our vibrant economy with high interest rates' But we Canadians will have to postpone our miserable feelings about all of this so we can enjoy this wonderful time of the year when families and friends gather to enjoy delicious dinners and friendship. We hope that everyone lets some of this wonderful feeling at Christmas time. Teachers Are Furious People in this community may know that teachers are furious with the Ontario liberal Government. and we want to tell you why. Government overnment of Ontario plans to misuse the power of its majority position to deny the teachers of this province our right to an equal voice in the management of our own pensions. The 121.000 member Ontario Teachers' Federation has been in "negotiations" with the Government for over a year in an attempt to achieve an equal partnership in the management of the Teachers' pension plan. Negotiations were terminated by the Government several times on the is -sue of a dispute resolution mechanism which we think is vital to any equal partnership. The Government has never hesitated to use such a mechanism to bring a close to a dispute between teachers and their employers. the school board. Wh%. therfore, is the Government adamant that it cannot accept such a pro- cedure in pension matters. in which they replace the school boards as employer' The teachers in Scarborough believe that real partner- ship in the management of our pension funds is a basic right. The Government must negotiate with us now, before pension legislation is passed. Sincerely. Gar• Fick. President. Ontario Public School Teachers' Federation -Scarborough District. Carol Robertson.

A Statistics Canada travel survey shows that we logged some 81 billion kilometres in domestic trips during 1988 and a whopping 70% of that distance was by car. Here are some other highlights from the survey, which gathered information on return trips of 80 kilometres or more. made within Canada. Revenues from passenger for domestic travel during 1987 totalled mote than $5.9 billion and added up this way: 85.2 billion for the airlines: $347 million for bus lines: 8245 million for railways. $109 million for water transport.

Up Speeding Fines Ontario Transportation Minister William Wrye has in- troduced amendments to the Highway Traffic Act which dramatically increase the fines for speeding infractions. "These changes reflect our new, tough approach to drivers who deliberately endanger the lives of others by ex- ceeding the posted speed limits," Wrye said. "Now they will have to pay the price for their recklessness. "The new fines will restore the deterrent factor, which had been eroded by 20 years of inflation since the last in- crease." Wrye said the higher fines will alsd'support the Ontario Motorist Protection Plan, a package which is in- tended to reduce the human and economic costs of traffic accidents in this province. The proposed schedule will see fines triple at the top end - bringing the cost of a ticket for driving 60 km over the speed limit to $585. Under the existing schedule, the fine would be $125.

Red Cross Seeks Yuletide Blood Boost The Toronto Blood Cen- tre of the Canadian Red Crow is encouraging peo- ple to add one ft to their shopping fist this boli - day season. It's a gift that doesn't have to be sought, bought or wrapped. And while it won't be found under a tree or in a stocking on Christmas morning, it em- bodies the true spirit of the season. The Red Cross is asking people to give the Gift of Life. December is always a difficult month for blood collection. People are away or busy with holiday festivities and have less op- portunity to give blood - However, surgery is still scheduled, accidents still happen and cancer patients still need blood. The Toronto Blood Cen- Sharing Initiative The Association of Cana- dian Community colleges is launching a national pro - re on multiculturalism in the college system. The project is funded by a grant from the Secretary of State office. The purpose of the pro- ject is to develop a data base of programs and ser- vices currently being of- fered by cohkges in the area of multiculturalism. Information will be gathered natioaWly and will be available to all col- leges in the country. A brochure will be developed in both French and English, to highlight available resources. To further support the project, workshops will be held in six regions to develop programs ap- propriate to each geographical area. Centennial College is the Mad college for the pro- gram, and is responsible for its coordination and ad- ministration. HELP KEEP Mayor's RED CROSS READY!

With schools and businesses closed for the holidays, the Red Cross is unable to bold the normal number of clerics.

It is often referred to as 'the other side' of Hong Kong — perhaps the untold story that amazes many and few visitors even suspect. How can a city where the oniv constant is change have, within a stone's throw, a countryside and trea- sured islands undisturbed b) outside influences'? Those who take the time to discover this contrast and dual- ity of the culture are richly re- warded. THE LAND BETWEEN Start on this discovery by visiting the border between Hong Kong and China. The journey to the border traverses the New Territories. often called ,The Land Between'. It is not only between Hong Kong and China, but also between the Hong Kong today and the Hong Kong of yesteryear. Once you step aboard the Kowloon -Canton Railway cn- route to the tiew Territories. you will soon %ce that the famil- iar hooming metropolis is but a fraction of the total Hong Kong territory. Here you will he greeted by lush green rolling hills, pleasant walking trails. friendly farnt- lands and fishing villages and a way of life that marches to dif- fercnt drums. Explore one of the land's many temples which houses over 10.0(]11 images of Buddha. You'll find walled villages such as Kam Tim. Sam Tung Uk Hakka village. and a monastery with three of the largest 'Pre- cious Buddha' statues in all of Hong Kong. Sha Tin is one of the largest towns in the Ncw Territories and it is also home to the fa- mous Amah Rock — the figure of a bride awaiting forever the return of her hu hand. An casy hiking trip will take you through the natural hcauty of the area — hambox, forests. bush -covered terrain and en- chanted sandy beaches. The tranquil beaches arc alv1 found in manv of the 235 alrtlusi-tnrp ical outiving island. of Hong Kong.

Lamma Island is a short forty minutes away from Hong Kung by ferry. making it the closest of the outlying islands. A famed feature of Lamma Island is the Tin Hau Temple. noted for its attractive roof decorations and traditional Chinese architecture. The curving roofs are believed to deter evil spirits and the carved creatures protect the oc- cupants. Cheung Chau Island has a fascination all of its own. The Cheung Po Tsai Cave at the swthern tip of the island can be reached oniv by foot. The cave is named after a legendary pi- rate who roamed the South China Sea over two hundred years ago. If you happen to he on Chcung Chau in April,May you could be part of the Annual Sun Festival. This street carni- val with its as miated huge towers of buns has been held for over a century.

'L0. ime M Bill Watt's Worlds DINNER THEATRE: Our recent holiday absence caused us to miss the premiere of Romance, Romance at Stage West Theatre Restaurant and so it was not until a few nights ago that we made our way there through snow and sleet to catch up with it. Snow and sleet are not mentioned in any attempt to ascribe heroism or dedication to our craft but rather, to make the point - did we hear someone say, eventually? -that the journey was worthwhile. Romance, Romance - 'book and lyrics by Barry Harman, music by Keith :Herrman -is a presentation of two one -act musicals based on works by Arthur Schnitzler and Jules Renard, two authors un- familiar to us. Act I, The little Comedy is based on Schnitzler's short story of the same ti- tle. It is a sweet Vienna bon bon about two upper crust people in fn de si6cle Vien- na taking on new identities and falling in love with each other in their respec- tive new identities . . the sort of thing that Zola wrote so well in pot boilers such as Piping Hot. Barry Williams is the man and his performance is quite remarkable, the more so, we suspect, because we really weren't expecting too much from him. Mr. Williams, some will recall, played the eldest son on that dreadful television series The Brady Bunch. The role called for him to appear almost sublobotomized and, to our discredit, we thought that was the extent of his talent. Shame on us! Mr. Williams is quite a fine actor. He plays the role of the rake / roud' with a swagger that would do credit to a Ferrer and his performance within the perfornsance of a poo poet is most amusing. He sings well too.

"NOP101 FOOD MARKET Hwy. 2 Rouge Hills just east of Rouge Bridge Fresh Egg Nog 990 1 litre PROPERTY ASSESSMENT AND SCHOOL TAXES Notice to Business Partnerships and to Publicly Traded Corporations and their Subsidiaries Starting in 1990, the rules by which business partnerships and publicly traded corporations and their subsidiaries direct their school tax support will change. This will affect the way the property assess- ment base is allocated among Public, Separate and French -language School Boards. • Business partnerships will acquire the right to support a Separate School Board, or the French -language School Board in Ottawa - Carleton, up to the proportion that the partnership is held by Separate School supporters or French -language School supporters. Until now, all partners had to be Roman Catholic or Francophone and agree to do so. • The property assessment of publicly traded corporations and their subsidiaries will be shared between Public and Separate School Boards in the same area, and in Ottawa -Carleton by the Public, Separate and French -language School Boards, in proportion to each board's residential and farm assessment. Until now, a corporation's support for a Separate School Board, or the French -language School Board in Ottawa -Carleton, could not exceed the proportion of shares held by Roman Catholics or Francophones. In order to implement this initiative, the Ministry of Revenue must amend its records to identify those business partnerships that wish to split their school tax support, and to identify all publicly traded cor- porations and their subsidiaries. Information about the new school support rules will be sent to you in the near future, along with a Notice of Property Valuation. Please review the new rules, and then check your Notice to verify that the Ministry of Revenue has correctly identified your school support. If it's not right, please tell us. A reply form will be included with the Notice. Your cooperation will ensure the proper allocation of your school taxes to the School Boards in your area.

The Product Safety Branch of Consumer and Corporate Affairs Canada (CCAC) regulates toys udder the Hazardous Pro- ducts Act and monitors the marketplace for com- pliance. Testing includes drop tests and push-pull tests, which are carried out to ensure toys can withs- tand reasonably foreseeable use", and flammability testing of the outer coverings of dolls, plush toys and soft toys. Families who purchase or receive as a gift a toy that they later feel is hazar- dous should write to: Pro- duct Safety Branch, Con- sumer and Corporate Af- fairs Canada (CCAC). Ot- tawa, Ontario K1A OC9; or to their district office CCAC. Lawn darts are an example of a product recently panned by CCAC because of reported in- Junes - CSA does not regulate toys. However, to protect users from fire and shock hazards. it does set stan- dards for electrical toys that are not battery- operated. Look for the CSA certification markon transformers for toys and hobby use, such as train sets, and on electrically - operated toys such as toy ovens. Adaptors commonly used with video games are also CSA certified. General Safety Reminders Adult supervision, par- ticularly when new pro- ducts or toys are introduc- ed, is very important. Although baby walkers are not toys, they are often us- ed to occupy children. They have resulted in many severe injuries when unat- tended children have fallen downstairs. Here are some potential toy hazards to watch for: - Broken toys: when a toy breaks. sharp points or edges are sometimes ex- posed. Keep such toys out of a child's reach and repair them if possible. If they can't be repaired, throw them out. - Tripping or falling hazards with ride -on toys, rocking king horses, etc. - Outdoor play with elec- trical toys: electrical toys such as trains, race car sets. stoves, etc. are not in- tended to be used where they might come in contact with wet or damp grass or be accidlentlly left out in the rain or slow. Consider Age Level Parents should also be careful to Moose toys ap- propriate to their child's age. habits and abilities. Most toy -related injuries and deaths are not due to an inherent safety problem with the toy itself, but are caused by the child's in- ability to use the toy in the manner intended by the designers. Common accidents in- clude choking on balloons and riding toys into traffic. If younger children get a toy or part of a toy meant for a higher age level, they can choke on the pieces they put in their mouths. Particularly hazardous are pieces such as alkaline ( disc) batteries, which can be inhaled into the lungs. The Canadian Toy Testing Council (CITC) emphasizes the importance of choosing toys geared to the age of the child. A non- profit voluntary organiza- tion, the CFTC aims to pro- mote the design and manufacture of good toys and to encourage informed buying by consumers. To this end, it conducts a year long evaluation of toys cur- rently available in the marketplace. The CITC tests each toy for its design, function, safety, durability and, above all, play value. To test play value - how a toy meets the needs and expec- tations of children - toys are put to the real test: children play with them in JOB OPPORTUNITY Local Chartered Financial Planner (impeccable repu- tation) is willing to train marketing assistants.

The Pro- vince had earlier put off funding for the line because of a shortage of funds. He told a news con- ference that following ex- tensive research by a diverse professional group of financial, planning and service consultants that a "Solutions Through Part- nership" concept has been identified. The mechanics of this concept makes it Speaker Series The YMCA of Metro Toronto will host its fifth annual International Speaker Series in the auditorium at the Metro - Central YMCA, 20 Grosvenor St. at 7:30 p.m. The first speaker will be Oakland Ross, Africa Bureau Chief.

The funding would be rais- ed privately from cash con- tributions and the sale of mortgage bonds. The Province and Metro would either lease or make a cash contribution, said Overzet, Chairman of Arendsnest Corp., the con- trolling shareholder of Pen- ta Stolp Corp. Twenty-five percent would be paid by the private sector, which would raise funds from a combination of cash con- tributions, development charges and advertising sponsorships. The goal is to have the subway rolling by 1996, maintained, operated and administered by the TTC. The same basic financing formula can be used to ex- tend the subway to the Scarborough City Centre, he said. "We feel strongly that the building of the Shep- pard Subway line cannot be delayed any longer for sim- ple want of money," Overzet said. "As a group, we do not intend to review transportation technology or TTC operating pro- cedures - rather, we believe it is our duty to develop viable solutions which will ultimately result m the building of this sub- way line. We believe the most effective approach is that of a partnership bet- ween committed in- dividuals in the private and public sectors," he said. He stressed that any den- sity increases for developers along the sub- way route would ix; no greater than that allowed under normal conditions. "I don't think the public, or the development industry for that matter, want to see canyons of highrises along Sheppard Ave." "We believe in the viability of this concept because it is the first definite response to a government request for the private sector to become more involved in major capital funding projects," said Overzet. "We have responded - it is now up to the government to capitalize on this new op- portunity," he continued. Overzet said his first in- clination was that the sub- way could be financed en- tirely through development charges. But it was quickly determined that this would not work - it would take too long for developments to come on stream to pay for the subway. "The solution, simply put, was to find an alter- nate means of financing the system upfront, other than from public capital resources. This is very much like a young couple financing the mortgage on their home, rather than saving up for years to pay all cash only to find that the price has doubled, he said. Overzet said Metro Toronto has not built any subways since 1990, symbolic of the shor- tage of funds wtuch has resulted in many communi- ty needs having to be put off until more tax dollars are found. "We see this in our health care facilities, schools, sewers, affordable hous- ing, roads and transit. We Season's Greetings and Best Wishes for a healthy and prosperous 1990 Bob Hicks M.P. Scarborough East 281-6767 read daily how our politi- cians are looking for in- novative ways to solve these problems and many have been looking to the private and business sec- tors to come up with solu- tions." He said "this proposal to build the Sheppard subway is a start in this direction." Under the Overzet scenario, funds for a first phase subway would be raised by $107 million in cash from investors, $84 million in advertising rights and sponsorships, and the remaining $880 million from a 40 year mor- tgage bond issue. Instead of the usual cost split of 75-25 between the province and Metro, the costing under our proposal would be roughly split 56 percent by the Province, 19 percent by Metro and 25 percent by the private sec- tor. The public sector's contributions could be either in the form of financ- ing or cash in our proposal.

Dec. 20, 1989 Kids & Parents Learn If parents play an active role in educating children, will it make a difference? The answer to this ques- tion is "yes", according to A. Robinson, college in- structor, parent and presi- dent of Kids & Parents learning Together. Robinson believes that parent involvement in a child's education, regardless of the child's age, makes a difference. Quoting from a 1983 report presented to parents by the (U.S.) National Commission on Excellence in Education, Robinson says, "You (parents) bear a responsibility to par- ticipate actively in your child's education; en- courage more diligent study; discourage satisfac- tion wth mediocrity and the attitude that says "led it slide"; teach and reinforce study skills; encourage your child to take more demanding rather than less demanding courses; and nurture your child's curiosity, creativity and confidence."

Extra Protection Needed For Older Feet The feet of Canada's senior citizens need extra Cif injuries are to be prevented and comfort maintained. Older men and women may develop a con- dition called osteoporosis which is characterized by a loss of bone structure, and therefore, an increase in the fragility of the bone. Dropping an object on the foot or bumping the toe can lead to a bruise or debilitating fracture. Traditionally as an in- dividual ages it is common for the natural cushion of the foot to thin out and lose some of its shock absorbing qualities. According to the Scar- borough Podiatrist, Dr. Paul O'Connell this can often lead to a more sen- sitive foot and limited mobility.

The joint effort was pro- mpted by increasing activi- ty in Toronto's Outer Har- bour which, with the open- ing of the Toronto Harbour Commission's Outer Har- bour Marina in May, 1969, has become a popular haven for all boaters. "We'd like to promote the Outer Harbour for boardsailors but, at the same time, make them aware of the sport and the unique characteristics of the harbour," said Mark Conway, a planner with the THC and a member of the committee responsible for preparing the two-phase educational program. An avid boardsailor himself, Mr. Conway stressed how important it is for those involved in the pastime to have a knowledge of such things as climatic conditions prevailing winds, safe lan- ding areas in the Outer Harbour and basic safety precautions. Many boaters tend to forget, he added, that they also have commercial ships with which to con- tend. The first phase of the pro- gram involves members of the O.S.A. going out to the various city high schools where. as part of the physical education pro- grams. they will educate boardsailors on the do's and don't of the sport with particular emphasis on the Outer Harbour. -Most boardsailors are fairly young so we felt the high schools would provide us with an ideal target." said Mr. Conway, adding the O.S.A. has had three years of actual experience in boardsailing education and, in 1989, taught safety to some 2,300 students in the 13 to 18 -year-old age bracket. It's expected that the first phase will be introduc- ed in April or May, 1990 when boardsailors begin preparing for their first sail of the summer season.

Canadianism Is No.1 Multiculturalism Is Second with Rene Soetens, M.P. On the first weekend of December, the federal New Democratic Party chose a new leader.

Her style and actions differ greatly from the former leader, but I am confident her ability and charisma are equal to the task. The Oshawa Real Estate Board has been circulating a flyer and petition, to the residents of Ontario Riding. I fond the contents of this flyer one-sided and misleading. I believe that one must know all the facts before coming to a decision on the Finance Committee's GST recommendations. The Oshawa Real Estate Board makes no mention that the Finance Committee's proposal will have a very definite impact on renters. The Finance Committee's GST Report would reduce the tax on new rental construction from 9% to 5%. It would also tax new housing regardless of price at 5%, versus the variable 4.5% to 9%. Owners landlords would not be entitled to input tax credits for the tax paid on the acquisition of a new rental building under the proposed legislation. This would force owners to recover these additional costs by raising rents which in the greater Toronto area are already exorbitant. The Committee's 5% tax place homeowners and renters on a level playing field. According to the flyer. the Finance Committee's 5% tax on housing will be a tax on savings, as houses represent a big chunk of the average Canadian family's savings. I agree whole-beartedly that housing is a major part of the average Canadians' savings. That is precisely why once the 5% tax is paid on your house, unlike the current situation, you will never have to pay it again. Further, if you own your house before the proposed GST is put in place, you will pay no tax. Therefore. the Finance Committee's proposal is m no way a tax on Canadians' savings. Another point that the flyer fails to mention is that the proposed 9% GST on new housing would have its single greatest effect on the greater Toronto area, due to the fact that we possess the highest housing values in all of Canada. The rebates that are to accompany the proposed 9% GST on new housing were not designed to fit the regional re- quirements of all Canadians. While a rebate on housing in the regions may be generous, the same rebate would be much too small in the greater Toronto area. With this in mind, a 5% rate and no rebates would be fairer to those who are affected by the spiraling costs of Toronto real estate. Critics and economists across Canada have lauded the reduction of the rate to 7%. as it would greatly lessen the impact on Canadians. Economists from five major forecasting groups have agreed that the lower rate would lessen the one—time inflationary impact of the GST and ease the transition period for the economy until the benefits of the GST take full effect. For new homeowners, a 7% GST would mean savings of 2% on all goads and services needed for ftrmshing their horses, moving expenses, finishing the basement, etc. Finally. I would like to mention that while organizations such as the Oshawa Real Estate Board. the Canadian Real Estate Association, the Urban Development institute and the Canadian Home Builders Association all say in unison that housing must not be taxed like other goods or services, they make little comment as to where this lost revenue should come from. Housing is already taxed, although you don't see it, as it is hidden in the costs of material that go in- to the construction of every hale. The groups mentioned above are just concerned over their own interests, as any smart organization should be, and are basically saying don't tax me. After trying to explain why in my opinion the Osnawa Real Estate Board is not presenting the real facts, I would ask that if you fill out the attached petition, please indicate that you in fact prefer the 7% Finance Committee's alter- native versus the 9% Technical Paper. As a member of the Finance Committee, I strongly believe that our proposals will make the elimination of the current federal sales tax and the subsequent replacement by the GST, a smoother and more equitable transition for all Canadians.
