Where Have The Birds Gone?
Where have the birds
gone for the winter'.' Well,
they're not all basking in
southern climes. In fact,
many of our feathered
friends are spending these
frigid months right here in
Durham Region.
For an introduction to
these winter residents, join
C.L.O.C.A. staff for a tour
of our new bird feeder trail
in the Lynde Shores Con-
servation Area. ( From
Hwy 12, take Victoria St.
west 2.5 km to the parking
lot on the south side of the
road.)
Beginning at 2 p.m. on
Sun. Jan. 6, you'll have a
free opportunity to learn
about their survival techni-
ques as well as pick up
some of the ins and outs of
attracting wildlife to your
backyard. Staff will
discuss bird feed, feeders
and locations, and lead a
tour with any opportunities
to see different species of
birds.
One of the highlights will
be a chance to feed the
chickadees. Bring your
camera along to take ad-
vantage of these close en-
counters and other
photographic oppor-
tunities.
So grab your binoculars,
bundle up and come out to
enjoy some winter fun in
your local conservation
areas.

Gerberators
Mandatory
For Houses
Pickering Council in-
troduced a motion at its ex-
ecutive meeting on Dec.
10th to make mandatory
the installation of
garberators in all new
houses in subdivisions from
this date forward.
The cost of installing
these garberators will be
the responsibility of the
builders.
Councillor Van Kempen
introduced the motion
stating that the Town of
Pickering strongly sup-
ports the concept of recycl-
ing, reduction and reuse
with respect to waste
disposal, and the use of
garberators will facilitate
a reduction of household
garbage to be dumped at
landfill sites.
Councillor Mitchell
seconded the motion.
Bd. Of Education Chairman
Makes His Annual Report
Chairman Ian Brown
presented his annual report
for 1990. In his canments,
Ian reviewed the numerous
activities undertaken dur-
ing the past year, including
the hiring of 400 new
teachers for September
1990. the confirmation of
the social water pilot pro-
ject as a regular service
program of the Durham
Board of Education, the
formation of the Early
Years of Transition Years
Task Forces, the establish-
ment of a committee to
develop board policy on en-
vironnwinntal
issues. the
opening of three new
elementary schools and the
additions and renovations
to many others.
He spoke of the board's
disappointment in the 1990
capital allocations from the
Ministry of Education, the
process undertaken by the
board in its efforts to
secure a new education
centre. the board's efforts
in the areas of asbestos
identification and removal
and energy conservation,
the approval process for its
1990 budget of 5306 million,
and its opposition to the
pooling of commercial and
industrial assessment.
Ian also reviewed the for
mation of the new
Employee Relations and
Political Action Commit-
tees and the changes to a
cumber of board policies
and procedures. He spoke
of the many issues at both
the provincial and federal
levels which concern the
board and the number of
questions from the public
to which the board respond-
ed over the past twelve
months. Ian outlined the
board's pride in the
number of conferences and
celebrations attended, and
contests and awards won
by its staff and students.
Ian outlined a number of
future directions to be ad-
dressed by the board in the
coming year. He thanked
the board for allowing him
to serve as chairman in
1990 and for trustees' untir-
ing efforts on behalf of
Public education.
Says "Thank You"
The philosophy of
anonymity and confiden-
tiality precludes the
Distress Centre Durham
from thanking its
volunteers in a public
forum. Still the volunteers
of the Distress Centre
selflessly gave of their time
every week to answer the
almost 10,000 calls received
this year.
It takes a special kind of
person to listen non -
judgementally to the
Chairman &
Vice Chairman
Elected
Ian Brown was acclaim-
ed as Chairman for the
Durham Board of Educa-
tion for 1991. He thanked
trustees for their con-
fidence in his continued
leadership. George
McLaughlin declined to run
for the position of Vice
Chairman due to the
pressure of a number of
current commitments.
Pickering Trustee Louise
Farr was acclaimed as
Vice Chairman and thank-
ed the board for the honour
of serving in this position.
various issues raised by the
callers. Repeatedly the
volunteers say that their
rewards are knowing that
someone is still alive
because of them or that
they have helped save a
child from further abuse;
or a lonely person now has
a whole staff of volunteers
to help them through their
loneliness.
The board of directors
and staff of the Distress
Centre gratefully
acknowledge and thank
them for their dedication
and concern for the mental
well being of the residents
of Durham Region. Their
patience and empathetic
attitude is the backbone of
the service.
The Distress Centre
would also like to thank
their financial contributors
of this past year. Without
their kind donations
(through the United Way or
privately), this service
could not exist.

Cut Costs In 1991
h% Bob Watson
Now that we have entered the depressing year of 1991
where governments have taxed the heck out of its citizens
we would like to see some cost cutting within government
organizations. Unlike private enterprise. cost cutting inside
the public organizations is unusual and the pressure is not
on the -chiefs" to whittle their staff down.
The biggest waste is the thousands of civil servants hired
to give out cheques and rebates to people from the very in-
efficient GST. You can tell that the GST is a public enter-
prise project - no private enterprise would even con-
template such an inefficient ton society and business) way
of collecting money.
But its all here now and only a defeat of the Cotser•alive
government at Ottawa could see this GST destroyed.
And from this newspaper's view. taxing newspapers,
magazines and books for the first time to our history - as
well as the first time in the westernworld - is the first step
to control of freedom of sperc•h'. Are Progressive Conser-
vatives not behind democracy any more
About Petro -Canada
Hear Sir:
Derek Lee's letter "About Petro-CanadaiThe News,
November 31st. 199th reflects a hostility to rationality that
is typical of the mind -set that prevails in the ranks of our
Liberal Parliamentanats. !Many of you well informed
readers -may be familiar with the general purport of the old
saying quote: "some minds are like concrete - thoroughly
mixed and permanently set
in my view, Mr. Lee is obviously more responsive to the
hypotheses of the flawed reasoning that precipitated the
Liberal induced creation of Petro -Canada than he is to the
venues of the global marketplace. He simply ignores the
fact that Government ownership of Petro -Canada has done
nothing with respect to any lowering of the price that Cana-
dians pay for gasoline Furthermore the money lasing

The Leisure Classroom
by Tom Mitchell
it nriav seem odd at first glance• but we can learn a few
things about working conditions in Canada by studying
vacations. For example:
-Most workers appattenOy are reasonably satisfied with
vacation provisions currently in place.
-Chances are the worker fleeing a Canadian winter for a
week or so in the southern stn is middle age or over, with a
good stretch of seniority in the job.
-Difficulties exist in arranging identical vacation times
when both partners in a marriage are working.
These kinds of conchisioas can be drawn from a special
study on worker vacations by Statistics Canada. The study
looked at patterns of our time off from work from the
mid -19505 tip to 1986.
One main finding was that the proportion of workers tak-
ing vacations kept climbing steadily through the 1950s to
the middle of the 197W. then levelled off. From the late
1970.5 to the present, the proportion has remained virtually
steady. Why did this rising proportion flattest out'
Some possible causes were looked at and discarded. For
example, there had been no sudden shift in employment to
those industries or activities where vacation entiUemients
tend to be lower than average. And the flattened trend was
not due to age distribution of workers or to job tentae. If
anything, the aging of "baby boom" workers during the '70s
and Vis meant a d<minishing proportion of younger
workers, at the minimum levels of job tenure and vacation
credits, and a greater proportion of older workers with
maximum entitlements. This would tend to push the vaca-
tion rate higher.
One conclusion seems to meet the circumstances. Man-
datory vacations decreed by provincial or federal labour
laws began in Canada in the 1940s. One week a year grew to
two or more by the '60s and '70s and cation contracts often
called for additional time off added to the mandatory
minimum. especially for long-term employees. It appears
that todav's vacation entitlements are generally satisfac-
tory for most workers and other workplace issues - child
care. medical plans, job security. etc. - are of more con-
cern.
For all workers. the incidence of taking vacations in-
creases with age. Compared with workers age 15 to 24,
those 35 to 44 are twice as likely to be m vacation in the
summer. Wotiters 55 and over are twice as likely to be on
vacation in winter than their counterparts age 35 to 44. The
factor most likely at work here is greater vacation entitle-
ment due to job tenure or seniority. Both the frequency and
length of vacations increase as workers add to their years
on the job.
The vacation patterns of working couples got a special
look. in the summer of 1988, when information was compil-
ed on 2.7 million couples where both partners held jobs.
None of the partnerships included teachers, often off work
all summer. In 417,000 cases, as least one of the partners
took a vacation week that summer. While marriage part-
ners don't have to vacation together, only in 48% of these
417,000 cases were both partners on vacation at the same
time.

Old man winter hasn't

it seems that every time you
turn on the television these
days, another business has
been forced to close its doors.
What with the current rough
ride of the economy and fast -
diminishing confidence in any
immediate relief, the onset of
bitter economic conditions is
putting Canada's confidence
into deep freeze for at least the
time being.
A recent public opinion
poll, for example, shows just
how concerned Canadians
have become about the down-
turn in the economy. Accord-
ing to the poll, 25 per cent of
respondents put the economy
as their number one concern—
a 13 per cent increase since
May of this year. Perhaps most
telling of all is the fact that the
constitutional debate—the top
concert[ of the Canadian pub-
lic for months now—has been
toppled by alarm over the state
of the economy.
Certainly in recent weeks
there's been bad news at every
tarn. Inflation grew to 4.8 per
cent and is expected to go
higher. the unemployment rate
jumped to 9 per cent and is
likely to mcrcaw. and retail sales
are down significantly. If recent
reports are to be believed, con-
sumer and business confidence
has plumed to one of the lowest
levels in 30 years.
The latest bad -news insi Ga -
tor comes from the results of a
biannual confidence survey
conducted by the Canadian
Federation of Independent
Business. The survey, entitled
"National Business Watch"
shows just how- far small busi-
ness confidence has shrunk.
For example, independent busi-
nesses in Ontario and Alberta
are currently having to weather
the nation's stormiest taxation
and regulatory conditions.
Despite being among the coun-
try's wealthiest economies,
these provinces have been
labeled by CFi B members as
Canada's harshest operating
climates for small business.
Although also beset with
problems, small firms operating
in Prince Edward Island, Brit-
ish Columbia and Quebec are
by comparison experiencing
fewer difficulties. CFIB's study
concludes that firms in PEI are
not as constrained by municipal
laxation, labor shortages or
restrictive labor legislation as
firms in other parts of the coun-
try. B.C., on the other hand,
offers a more efficient Workers'
Compensation Board as well as
less -burdensome labor laws and
regulations.
Firms operating in the other
provinces—New foundland,
Nova Scotia, New Brunswick
and Saskatchewan are expecting
no improvement in their respec-
tive business climates.
The survey concludes that
what is underlying the economic
tears of the Canadian public is
a deep loss of faith in govern-
ment to steer the best course
through the tough times ahead.
"Small businesses are
clearly suffering right now,
says the report. "Not only are
worsening economic conditions
putting the squeeze on their
prospects but many small firms
are fighting just to stay in busi-
ness. Yet at every turn they are
hampered by inequitable mo-
tion policies, bureaucratic red
tape, in fle uble labor force con-
ditions and high interest rates.
Add the unresponsive federal
government's insistence that the
Goods and Services Tax be
implemented next month and
it's easy to understand why
small business owners have lou
confidence in this country's
short term economic future."

� onve no say in this
by M. Johnston
Nobody wants urban
sprawl. It is unwanted but
it still happens so stated
David Crombie, Commis-
sioner on the Future of the
Waterfront, at a recent
Rouge Valley foundation
reception.
Crombie explained that
to be informed about pro-
tecting our urban environ-
ment means understanding
what is involved in an
ecosystem. "Watershed",
the study recently released
by the Royal Commission
on the Waterfront, begins
with a review of this con-
cept.
River valleys located in
the large expanse of land
stretching south from the
Oakridges Moraine and
with the breadth along the
lakefront from Oakville to
just west of Cobourg should
not be available for inten-
sive development. This
would destroy their
ecosystems.
In the case of the Rouge
River Valley, 10,200 acres
have been designated by
the province to become a
natural heritage park.
Nevertheless, a vigilant
watch must be kept to pre-
vent any encroachment.
As Crombie noted, the
shedding of wastes in the
headwaters pollutes the
systems and lake below
and, therefore, economic
activity within the watersh-
ed area must be controlled.
Rapid urbanization has
created a mess. "Watersh-
ed" details in its second
section nine principles
which must be followed in
order to maintain a healthy
environmemnt. Economic
growth cannot occur unless
a healthy environment is
ensured.
Section three stresses the
urgent need for
regenerating the entire
Greater Toronto bio region.
This is mandatory to pre-
vent further degradation.
"Watershed", the basis
of Crombie's talk, is well
into its second publishing
and has been requested to

Canadian Cancer Society is

Cancer Society is a
community-based,
volunteer driven organiza-
tion and without active
volunteers, the unit is not
able to adegtrrtely deliver
the patient services and

Over the past couple of
years the unit has assisted
close to 100 cancer patients
in West Hill. "We coor-
dinate patient visits and
other assistance programs

and after treatment." says
Ann Judson, volunteer
vice-president of the Metro

cancer to help them find
comfort, dignity, meaning

cancer can be prevented or

no extension without a full
environmental assess-
ment," said Sullivan.
"Now the NDP is breaking
that commitment."
With the "emergency"
extension, the Keele Valley
site has a capacity for
about 14 million tonnes.
With the other sites in
Metro Toronto and Peel
temporarily closed, Keele
would have to handle the
dumping for the entire
area, filling the expanded
dumpsite in less than five
years. The Brock West site
would be next in line for
reopening.

the Scarborough Board of
Education, has accepted
the position of chief ex-
ecutive officer for the Van-

He was selected by the
Vancouver Board after a
cross-country search that
drew more than 200 can-
didates, and will take up
the post officially in
January.
Mr. McLeod holds a
Bachelor of Arts degree

a board that faces
challenges similar to those

for, and encouragement of.
his goals and achievements
here as the board "tries to
create a sense of family".
Dianne Williams, Chair-
man of the Board, says,
'We're very pleased for
Allan, and it's a reflection
on the calibre of our staff
that he has achieved this
position, but we do feel sad-
dened - he's a real loss to
us. He really has given
leadership, especially in
values education."
Among Mr. McLeod's
credits at the Scarborough
Board are his roles in the
development of a Special
Education Plan that
received national recogni-
tion from the Council for
Exceptional Children;
development of the Board's
Values Education Policy;
inception of the Scar-
borough Industry -
Education Council, and the
development of articula-

subsequent appointments,

Principal at Scarborough
schools until 1961, Mr.
McLeod took part in ex-
changes to schools in

Superintendent of Schools
in 1981 and Assistant

IN PRINT:
One of the many bete
noire of limited print ex-
posure is the difficulty en-
countered in reviewing all
books on a current basis.
The many publishers who
offer books to us for review
realize this, however, and
are understanding. We
hope they continue to be so,
as we offer reviews of the
following books more than
somewhat later than they
deserve.
Walter Winchell by
Michael Herr is described
as a novel on its cover but
is in fact what is known as a
treatment for a
screenplay. Take it as that
and one will enjoy this
chronicle of the former
vaudevillian turned Broad-
way gossip columnist.
It describes his rise to a
feared power and his des-
cent into someone more or
less ridiculed. He was
never a journalist but oh
my, how he could dig up
dirt and throw it to the
winds of public custom.
Mr. Herr has not done his
homework as well as he
would have people believe,
however. Owney Madden
was tough but suave:
Frank Castello was neither
tough nor suave. Yet he
would have the reader
believe that the former was
little more than a hood and
the latter just slightly less
than a businessman flirting
with the law.
And he is dead wrong in
his portrayal of Sherman
Billingsley, founder and

proprietor of the now
vanished Stork Club.
(Trust the memory of a
young Sub Lieutenant of
the Royal Candian Navy
who found himself tap dan-
cing in front of the Benny
Goodman orchestra in the
Cub Room because of the
kindness of Mr.
Billingsley.)
He fails to mention the
phoney feud between Win-
chell and Ben Bernie. He is
not accurate with his
description of Winchell's
radio signature. It was not
always "Good evening Mr.
and Mrs. America"; it
became "Good evening Mr.
and Mrs. North and South
America and all the ships
at sea". There are those of
us who remember.
Errors or omissions not-
withstanding however, this
publication of Alfred A.
Knopf is well worth reading
if for no other reason than
to recall a time the likes of
which we are not likely to
see again. a time when
men such as Damon Ru-
nyon. Ernest Hemingway
and Irving Hoffman were
read with respect. not the
cynicism extended to so
many writers today.
Mind you, Winchell
himself was held in rather
more fear than respect but
he had sufficient sense to
surround himself with nrien
of quality.
A good book Michael
Herr notwithstanding.
The Mind of South Africa
by Allister Sparks ( Alfred
A. Knopf) is. one supposes.
a reasonably useful primer
for those who are, for what
ever insular reasons,
unaware of the causes of
continuing foment in that
country. Beyond that, it's
difficult for us to comrnent
other than to suggest that
les Quebecois would do well
to read it and then stop
whining about their state of
affairs.
Come to think of it,
however. most wouldn't
read it because it isn't in
French.

Seeing The Best of
Inmes. The Worst of Times
recently at the Bayview
Playhouse reminded us of a
book that has been on our
review shelf over long.
Citizens by Simon
Schama ( Vintage Books) is
a fat soft cover chronicling
the French Revolution.
It is beautifully indexed
and has one of the best
bibliographies we've ever
experienced. It's difficult
for us to imagine bow one
could read it without then
knowing everything there
is to know about the epic
revolution.
It might seem odd to
make such a declaration
about a soft cover, even one
of 1000 pages, but Citizens
is truly monumental.
One can't say the same
about 'flue Collapse of Com-
munism, by cor-
respondents of the New
York Times and edited by
Bernard Gwertzrnan and
Michael Kaufman ( Times
Taken as a chronicle of
the major events in
Eastern Europe in 19m the
book serves a purpose of
recapulation but not much
more than that.
It has been put together
very quickly and it shows.
There is a certain lack of
continuity about it (did we
hear someone say, just like
this column?) that
discourages concentration.
As well, we have our own
personal misgivings about
the supposed collapse of
communism. Capitalism
doesn't seem to be working
as yet in the former
socialist countries and we
have an idea that it never
will; that it was never in-
tended to.
As we see it, the wily
communist leaders are
prepared to give the ap-
pearance of trying
Capitalism, watching it fail
and then declaim . . .
"Well, we gave it a try.
Clearly it can't work. Back
to the old ways!"
We hope we're wrong but
those are our thoughts.
Sheesh, you don't sup-
pose we're becoming like
Winchell do you?
Virginia Woolf, the Im-
pact of Childhood Sexual
Abuse on Her Life and
Work by Louise DeSalvo
(Ballantine) might have
been a good book but for
the polemics of the
authoress.
It might have given fresh
insights into the motiva-
tions of the brilliantly er-
ratic and erratically
brilliant writer. Perhaps it
does but the relentless car-
ping of Miss DeSalvo over
the lot of women since time
began is more than
moderately off putting.
No one needs to be
reminded that women have
always had a hard row to
hoe over the course of
history; no one needs to be
reminded that there is still
a long way to go.
But voicing one's own
views while supposedly
New Year's Resolutions
On Our Environment
Many of us set goals for
self-improvement at the
start of the year to
motivate ourselves to
change. Perhaps making a
similar list of environmen-
tal resolutions would help
us act on our good inten-
tions towards the environ-
ment.
1. Review your home
beating systems, your
water heater and your in-
sulation. Much of the
energy consumed in the
average Canadian home is
wasted because of ineffi-
cient heating systems. Tun-
ing up an oil furnace, ap-
plying caulking and
weatherstripping to seal
cracks, insulating the attic
and upgrading or replacing
the windows in your home
can reduce energy loss and
beating bills.
2. Check your appliances'
energy consumption. Keep-
ing your refrigerator and
freezer even five degrees
colder than necessary will
increase your energy con-
sumption by as much as 25
per cent. According to
guidelines provided by On-
tario Hydro, refrigerators
should be kept at between
two degrees and five
degrees C. and the freezer
compartments and the
freezer at -18 degrees C.
Every six months, con-
denser coils at the back of
the fridge should be clean-
ed carefully with the brush
or nozzle attachment of the
vacuum cleaner.
After appliances, water
heaters are the second
largest energy user in your
home. In a home without a
dishwasher, you can safely
turn down the thermostat
on your water heater to 54
degrees C. Turning off the
heater when you leave
home for a weekend or take
a vacation is also r ecom-
mended. CSA -certified in-
sulating blankets also help
reduce energy waste.
These blankets can be in-
stalled around all CSA -
certified water heaters set
at 60 degrees C or less.
3. Turn off the lights when
you leave the room and
choose light bulbs with con-
servation in mind. One loo
watt bulb gives almost as
much light as two 60 watts
and uses less energy. Com-
pact fluorescent bulbs are
the latest innovation in effi-
cient lighting. Although
they cost more than the
traditional incandescent
bulb, they use less elec-
tricity and pay off in lower
energy costs.
4. Conserve water. Keeping
the water running while
you brush your teeth, shave
or wash dishes is a bad
habit that in time
squanders an astonishing
amount of water.
relating the trials of
another isn't much more
than dirty pool. How's that
for a sexist comment Miss
DeSalvo:
There is value in the book
and it is not our intention to
denigrate it but discerning
readers will, we are sure,
choose to skirt the
authoress' preaching in
favour of the narrative,
what little there is of it.
5. The average Canadian
household throws out a
tonne of garbage a year.
Practise the three "R's" -
reduce, reuse and recycle
cin that order). Reduce
means avoiding un-
necessary, heavily packag-
ed or disposable goods.
Reusing can entail borrow-
ing, bartering, renting or
repairing items to prevent
using items only once.
Look for goods packaged
in recyclable materials -
glass, metal or paper,
avoid plastic and
styrofoam. You can also
recycle kitchen food scraps
in compost bins. If your
community has a curbside
recycling program, make
your participation easier
by setting up separate bins
in your home for different
products -
6 ,
roducts.
6. dl
Hane and dispose of
toxic wastes such as paints
and thinners, oven
cleaners. car batteries. an-
tifreeze and pesticides with
care. Simply throwing
them in the trash or
flushing them down the
drain eventually con-
taminates the soil, water
and air.
7. Reward companies
whose goods are less harm-
ful to the environment. CSA
is the testing and certifum-
tion agency for Environ-
ment Canada's En-
vironmental Choice Pro-
gram. Under this program,
guidelines have been
developed in product
categories such as re -
refined motor oil, thermal
insulation, plastic fencing
and water-based paint.
Draft guidelines have also
been established for
newspapers, heat recovery
ventilators, energy-
efficient lamps, compost
and water -conserving pro-
ducts. If products in a
category are made, used,
or disposed of in a way that
causes significantly less
harm to the environment
than others in the same
category, their manufac-
turers are allowed to disply
the EcoLogo mark.
8. Become fuel-efficient.
Cars emit carbon dioxide,
nitrogen oxides and
hydrocarbons - gases that
contribute to the
greenhouse effect, acid
rain and ozone smog.
Give your car a tune-up.
The more gas your car con-
sumes, the more harm it
does to the environment.
Keeping yuur car tuned up
makes it more fuel efficient
and cuts down on toxic
emissions.
Carpooling is another
gas -sparing initiative, one
that helps your pocketbook
as well as the environment.
FAST EXIT:
Some years ago a couple
of vats at a brewery in
Milwaukee were struck by
lightning. Not only were
they undamaged but the
beer within, instead of be-
ing spoiled, was actually
improved in quality.
It is believed to be the on-
ly case on record of a storm
actually brewing.
And, the best of the New
Year to you too.
Minister Announces Policy
On Religious Education
Ontario Education Minister Marion Boyd has announced
a policy which will permit public school boards to offer pro-
grams of education about religion that reflect the multifaith
nature of Ontario's society but are not indoctrinational.
"Our province enjoys great diversity. We can find
strength in the constantly changing multifaith nature of On-
tario by understanding how the belief systems of the
world's religions provide individuals and communities with
meaning and a sense of purpose," Mrs. Boyd said. "Pro-
grams in education about religion must ensure that
children from different religious backgrounds learn how to
grow together through an appreciation of their
differences."
The policy which was announced on Dec. 6th was
developed following a review of the Ontario Court of Appeal
decision of Jan. 30, 1990, regarding religious education.
These measures replace the interim policy which has been
in effect since Feb. 28, 1990, and include the following:
Boards of education may provide programs of education
about religion in grades 1 to 8 during the school day for up to
60 minutes per week.
A resource document for grades 1-8 will be developed in
English and French and will be distributed to educators and
other interested groups for comment within 18 months.
Boards of Education can continue to make space
available in school buildings, as they do for various
community -related activities, for indoctrinational religious
classes outside the instructional program of the school day.
The Charter of Rights, however, requires equality of treat-
ment, and boards that exercise this option must make
space available to religious groups on an equitable basis.
This policy, which will become effective Jan. 1, 1991, does
not affect schools operated by the Roman Catholic Separate
School Boards. The parts of Regulation 262 which deal with
religious education in elementary and secondary public
schools will be revoked and amended to reflect the policy.
It was further announced that secondary schools may
continue to provide an optional credit course in world
religions, as specified in the History and Contemporary
Studies curriculum guideline.
The Minister also made public the Report on Religious
Education in Ontario Public Elementary Schools which was
submitted to the previous government by Dr. Glenn A. Wat-
son. Dr. Watson was asked to recommend curriculum op-
twns for an appropriate religious education policy for
public elementary schools.
"Dr. Watson's recommendations were made without
benefit of the court decision, which was announced just a
day before he submitted his report," said Mrs. Boyd.
"While Dr. Watson recognized the necessity of a multifaith
approach to education about religion. one of his major
recommendations is at variance with the court decision...
Legal counsel to the government advised that to devote
between one-third and two-thirds of a program to the study
of one particular religion. as suggested by Dr. Watson.
would give primacy to that faith and would contravene the
charter as interpreted by the Court of Appeal.
"I believe that the policy announced today can be seen
within the context of the long-established vision of elemen-
tary and secondary public schools as open and accessible to
all on an equal basis," commented Mrs. Boyd. "It is our ire
tent that programs of education about religion enable
students of all faiths to learn more about one another and to
enjoy the richness of our collective and individual
heritages...

DEADLINE FOR APPEALING YOUR
1990 PROPERTY ASSESSMENT
Tuesday, January 8th, 1991
The final day for appealing your 1990 property assess-
ment to the Assessment Review Board is Tuesday,
January 8th, 1991. Your assessment will be used to
calculate your 1991 municipal and school taxes.
You should appeal your 1990 property assessment (a)
if you are dissatisfied with the amount of the assessment,
even after discussing it with your Regional Assessment
Office; (b) if you appealed your previous assessment and
the appeal has not been settled; or (c) if you received
a Notice of Property Valuation which does not reflect
a settlement of your previous appeal.
The Assessment Review Board is an agency of the
Ministry of the Attorney General and operates less
formally than a court of law. It is authorized to decide
if your property assessment is fair and equitable, com-
pared with similar properties in your area. You may
present your own case, retain a lawyer, or ask a friend
or relative to act as your agent.
A Notice of Appeal form is available from your
municipal office, your Regional Assessment Office, or
the Assessment Review Board. You may also use the
reverse side of a Notice of Property Valuation or write
a letter. Appeals should be forwarded in writing to the
Regional Registrar of the Assessment Review Board at
the address shown below.
If you have any questions or require assistance in
filing the appeal, please contact your Regional Assess-
ment Office. The address and telephone number are in

$25 Million To Mohawks
An agreement that will provide $25 million over five
years to the Akwesasne Mohawk Council was formally sign-
ed on Nov. 26th during celebrations to open a new home for
elders on the reserve.
The agreement will allow the community to complete 11
high priority projects - one of which is the lakhihostha
Lodge Home for the Aged. lakhihostha is the Mohawk mord
for grandparents.
The Memorandum of Agreement was signed by The Hon.
Shirlev Martin, Minister of State for the Department of In-
dian Affairs and Northern Ilevelopnment (DIA.'ND► on behalf
of Canada. The Mohawk Council of Akwesasne and Ontario
and Quebec are the other signatories to the agreement.
Funding under the agreement will help to address the
social, economic, health and recreational needs of the com-
munity. The federal contribution will be 52 percent, while
the Ontario and Quebec governments will contribute 48 per-
cent of the costs. The five-year agreement expires March
31, 1995.
The Akwesasne Special Task Force, which has been
established as a result of the agreement, will assist com-
munity leaders in resolving issues related to the unique
jurisdictional situation at Akwesasne and will provide
inter -jurisdictional coordination in terms of project plann-
ing, funding and related implementation.
The Akwesasne Reserve is located on land within the pro -
vines of Quebec and Ontario and extends across the Cana-
dian border into the United States. In addition to the
Iakhihostha Lodge, a health care facility, recreation cen-
tres, a police station, and a training centre are among other
projects to be completed under the agreement.
The lakhihostha Lodge Home for the Aged is a 30 bed
facility which will provide residential and extended care to
seniors on the reserve. It replaces the existing 27 bed home
which has been in use for 20 years.
lakhihostha was constructed at a cost of over $3.2 million
with the assistance of a loan to the Mohawk Council of
Akwesasne from the Canada Mortgage and Housing Cor-
poration (CMHC), under a ministerial guarantee from
DIAND, and through contributions by the governments of
Ontario and Quebec.
Pointing to events earlier this year which left the com-
munity divided, Minister Martin added that she is pleased
the federal government was able to provide assistance to
the reserve's Conflict Resolution Process aimed at bringing
various members of the community back together.
The Conflict Resolution Process is a multi -faceted pro-
cess designed by community leaders to restore community
harmony. It includes three major elements: professional
mediation services, a Peacebuilding Centre, and
community-based activities.

adds. "And that's the first step
in encouraging responsible pet
ownership."
The recommended size of a
dog, for example, is not solely
a matter of the space available
in the home and for recreation.
Elderly or infirm residents can
encounter problems managing a
dog that is too large, and a very
small, or toy breed may have
trouble with young children,
who tend to be rough with pets.
Some breeds require more exer-
cise than others, and some adapt
better to being left alone, says
Keller, and so the prospective
owner's lifestyle also becomes
a factor in the selection. Canine
care and hygiene are other im-
portant considerations -- the
length of a dog's coat and the
amount of grooming required
often determine the success of a
dog/owner match.
Dog Fanciers can discover
which breeds are best suited to

New Year's Resolution - Quit Smoking
"If cigarettes were invented today, no government would
allow them to be sold, given our current level of knowledge
of tobacco and the health risks it presents." said Bob Olsen,
executive director of The Lung Association.
Smoking is the single largest preventable cause of death
in Canada and over 35,000 Canadians will die this year from
smoking related illnesses. So why do people continue to
smoke' Man• individuals are addicted. Health authonties
believe that the nicotine in tobacco is as addictive as heroin
and cocaine. Smoking also affects those who have to inhale
the fumes second-hand. The children, spouses and co-
workers of smokers are also more susceptible to
respiratory diseases.
Tobacco smoke contains over 4,000 identified chemicals
including toxic substances such as pyrene, benzopyrene•
naphthalene, tars, methane, carbon monoxide, ammonia,
acetylene and hydrogen cyanide. Every lit cigarette is a
noxious, dangerous smoke stack.
If you smoke and want to quit once and for all, make your

Public Meeting On CBC
Ontario Culture and Communications Minister Rosario
Marchese has called upon the Canadian Radio -television
and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) to hold a
public hearing on the future of the CBC.
"People in Canada care deeply about the future of this
country. A public hearing would give them an opportunity
to comment on the direction the CBC is taking in light of its
mandate and the vital role it plays as the core of our na-
tional broadcasting system." said Marchese.
The CBC announced the closing of 11 local television sta-
tions in Ontario and across Canada and the firing of 1,100
workers on Dec. 5.
"The continued reduction in CBC resources is having a
devastating effect on our ability to communicate with each
other," Marchese continued. "When the CBC closed down
CBLFT. Ontario's francophone community lost an impor-
tanl voice."
Marchese also cited the reduction of an already fragile
Canadian presence at the American border in Windsor.
"The loss of local television programming in this area of
the province effectively concedes the airwaves to American
stations who treat Windsor as another Detroit suburb," he
said.
On calling for the CRTC hearing. Marchese also
acknowledged the importance local television stations have
in identifying Canada's diverse regions. "Such 'grass- roots'
programming is essential as Canadians search for a collec-
tive vision of themselves in a time of constitutional
change." said Marchese.
Speaking at a Toronto press conference held by a number
of unions within the broadcasting industry. Marchese spoke
of his efforts to co-ordinate a strategy with his provincial
counterparts in dealing with the CBC cutbacks.
"1 am inviting all the provincial ministers responsible for
communications to work with me on a joint strategy to
pressure the federal government to solve this crisis." said
Marchese.

All About Cruising
ROYAL VIKING STAR TO
N.C.L.
Effective Apr. 20 u1991,
M.V. Westward will begin
Bermuda cruises. She will
be the renamed M. V. Royal
Viking Star and will be sail-
ing under the Norwegian
Cruise Line banner. This
will end a long period of
uncertainty for this fine
ship.
Rumours had circulated
about being "downgraded..
from Royal Viking Line to
N.C.L. for years. The ship's
short itineraries didn't fit
the norm for R.V.L. whose
clients tend toward cruises
of two weeks and more.
Sales suffered and it
became obvious that
something had to be done.
The "new" M.V. Windward
will sail soon.
REGENT'S MED
CRUISES
Regent Holidays will br-
ing back the economy level
Mediterranean cruise pro-
gram using M.T.S. Jason of

This popular program
was not offered this year
due to failure to negotiate a
satisfactory charter ar-
rangement. These cruises
offer more shore time than
most in the area and will
start at $2349 Canadian.
Booking registrations
are being accepted at $250
per person until the
brochure is introduced. In
the past. clients have been
ready and waiting for the
introduction and cabins
have been snapped up the
first week.

This will remove the uni-
que advantage she had in
being the only San Juan
ship without a crowded

preciated that extra day at
sea. Obviously, the bean
counters felt otherwise.
U.S. TAXES THREATEN
CRUISE SHIPS
In another attempt to pay
down the deficit, the U.S.
Government is considering
hiking taxes paid by cruise
ships using U.S. ports. The
increases would raise taxes
from $.02 tos.27 per ton and
raise tonnage duties from
$.06 to $.81 per ton.
This woud mean a large
cruise ship would see an-
nual taxes raised from
$4,500 to $60.750. In addi-
tion, ships would be billed
for coast guard services
such as safety inspections
and licensing of crews.
This is expected to raise $30
trillion U.S. per year.
Last minute flash: the
tax was legislated at s.og
per ton and duties to $.'r
per ton in the budget this
month.
