A senior citizen, a parent and a stu- dent read the Education Week ads they had record- ed for local radio stations CKQT-FM and CHOO-AM. A complete list of activities scheduled in each school and community was distributed. Trustees were entertain- ed by a choir of senior citizens from the John Street Seniors' Centre and students from Coronation PS, Oshawa, under the duwuon of Peggy Drynan and Marie Watson. Songs included the favourite "My Grandfather's Clock" and the Education Week song, "Learning For Life". Organizers issued an in- vitation for everyone in Durham to join the board's public elementary and secondary schools in the celebration of learning, an ongoing, life-long process. In turn, Karen, Doug and Education Week Co- ordinators were thanked for the hours of work they had put into preparing for Education Week. Annual Financial Report Approved Auditor Laurie Martin of Deloitte & Touche firm was responsible for examining the financial statements, assessing the board's accounting prin- ciples and evaluating the overall statement presen- tation. Laurie Martin thanked staff for their assistance in preparing the audit. After answering several questions for trustees, Laurie was com- mended for the thoroughness of his firm's report. The 1990 financial report was approved by the board. Enrolment Projections Presented Official enrolment pro- jections for September 1991 indicate an overall in- crease of just over 800 students. Based on these Projections, there will be no need to purchase addi- tional portable classrooms for the coming school year. The surplus of approx- imately six portables will be relocated in the system. Art Music Camp To Pro- ceed Trustees approved a mo- tion to continue the Art , Music Camp for 1991.

Ma. 29.1991 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Still Doesn't Know by Bob Watson Trade Minister Michael Wilson, who until recently was our finance minister, is still making ridiculous statements to prove that he is really unknowledgeable about the causes of our recession. Mr. Wilson says that the free trade deal with the U.S. has softened the impact of the recession. Of course, he hasn't mentioned - yet - the facts about the recession which are that the high interest rates and high Canadian dollar, sup- ported by the head of the Bank of Canada, created the Cana- dian recession. If anyone hasn't noticed, the Canadian dollar hasn't drop- ped below est U.S. since the U.S. free trade deal was signed. Many Canadians are suspicious about this est stability and believe that if our Canadian dollar were around 75t U.S. our exporters wouldn't be struggling with sales to the U.S.A. and Canadians wouldn't be driving across the border to buy cheaper goods. In our opinion our Canadian dollar should be down around ,5t U.S. and interest rates should be much lower. Sales of houses and cars usually indicate how well the economy is doing. Most business people understand these facts - it is too bad that politicians are immune to the market place. English Style Change Dear Mr. Watson: Re: Leave Our Language Alone - March 27, 1991 Too bad L.B. Cattell missed the point. For Councillor Marie Labatte the argument is for inclusive, precise, clear and accurate language. Words that do not make women disappear Obviously L.B. would prefer to think that language changes are being fostered by a small group of paranoid feminists. Birt contrary to this biased perception, 1 would advise that the Globe &:Nail has a Style Book for language use, the Progressive Conservative Government of Ontario and the North York and Scarborough Boards of Education have style manuals. If L.B. is prepared to accept a little broadening of the mind, 1 suggest the reading of the book titled The Handbook of :Nonsexist Writing by :Miller & Swift. The authors provide insights into the English language. its history. and into ways of com-eying our thoughts in ran -sexist, unbiased, and convincing language. Perhaps L.B. may be contaminated by the virus of nore the facts' because words are changing and becoming inclusionary. For instance. we row use fire fighter, mail carrier, police officer, flight attendant, sales clerk, camera operator, etc. tion of these changes excludes or denigrates men. Cheers L.B.'

( Photo - Kin Wong) Reaching Out Dear Editor: Whenever my friends and I go to a meeting now we can't help but agree Canadian people are reaching out trying desperately to devise rev► ways to say to one another that Canadians want to stay together. At the last meeting it was suggested we initiate a twinning program to reach out to Quebec and its people the same as has been done interna- tionally. Can you imagine our desperation when we the peo- ple ecple start talking about twinning within one country? Canada already has in place the best twinning facilities. namely our railway communication, our social and medical services and most of all our Canadian Broadcasting System. Canada's enemy is internal, Mr. Mulroney has suc- ceeded in devastating them all supposedly in his bewilder- ing attempt to bring Canada to prosperity. There seems to be no limit of funds for military adventure and the destruc- tion of Canada's record as a dipkxnat and a peace mediator. We are now convinced that Mulroney started this Cana- dian friction with Quebec in order to get elected as our Prime :Minister. When Mulroney distorted history and said to Quebec and its people '.you were excluded out of our corn stitutional process... Mr. Mulroney could then pose as Quebec's saviour. This Conservative government is now tearing the country to shreds including the hate that has enraged the western provinces. These western provinces now put up splinter parties that have the potential of becoming a cloak for even greater extremist and separatist advocates. This internal conflict is serving extremely well and Mulroney is willing to keep it rolling. While we fight for a constitution he is able to hide the economic tress he has brought about in Canada. There may be one temporary bright spot in all this mess. Mr. Mulroney may, with Quebec's agreement as a repayment to Mulroney, opt for a dramatic reconciliation within Canada in order to win the next election. If, however, this is not in the books for Brian and Quebec should separate, Quebec may be able to withs- tand considerable friction both from international and Canadian adjustments. It would only be the ambition of a juvenile on Quebec's part to think that friction would not continue to gain momentum and Quebec could take on the world, or get the same consideration that Canada was able to develop. Two separate Canadas will become more vulnerable to the evolving economic apartheid. The powerful establishment both within and to the south will capitalize on this friction DAVID SOMERVILLE "Raenomics" Bad News for Ontario - and the NDP In the world of politics best laid plans often go astray. Consider federal NDP leader Audrey McLaughlin. Ever since her election as leader two years ago, McLaughlin has been working hard to set her party to the Canadian people. The NDP, she stressed, would give Canada good, caring and responalbb govom ment- The more radical aspects of NDP socialist philosophy were, if not hidden, at least downplayed. Then along comes Ontario NDP leader Bob Rae to upset her applecart. Not only does Rae form a governmeird in Ontario. he has the audacity to actually implement full- blown socialist economic policies. Suddenly, the county got a glimpse of what a federal NDP government might mean. ICs not a pretty sight. In the name of fighting the recession Rae's governnent has gone on a spending orgy. Ontario's hest budget saw the provincial deficit triple in one year to nearly $10 birion. The gove,mi ment's own predictions now say Ontario's debt will more than double in four years to $69 billion. Of course. Rae's ecornornic policies haw nothing to do with the recession. ICs just the NDP's big -spending ideology in action- Every programme got a raise or an expensive promise. Every whim was fulfilled. Every minister went away from the budget table with some plums lo distribute. This NDP economic bkieprint is radical wen by sock" standards. Indeed, socialist govert manta all over the world have turned their backs on the ouldated ideas of tax and spend, spend and tax. In France, Australia and Spain, socialist leaders are cutting spending and embracing privatization as a way to reduce the size of government. Unlike Canada's NDP, these socialists have come to realize that big government is not better government. It's a lesson that Ontario will learn the hard way. If the expenierm in other socialist economies is any indication, the NDP's economic policies will inevitably hurt Ontario. Jobs and investment will be driven out of the province or discouraged. Ontario will become even less oompe"m- M of this, of course. is bad new for Audrey McLaughlin and to federal NDP. After all, A the NDP mess up in Ontario who is going to trust them to run the country? In the next fern years. as the full *fleck of Bob Rae's antiquated socialism is felt in Ontario.

The Establishment will become a version of a South African white minority; then, even the white faces of the Canadian impoverished will turn black in this struggle for survival. Mr. Mulroney has stripped the best twinning facilities Canadians once possessed, now he is ruing salt in the wound by appointing a Canadian quizzling by the name of John Cnspo to the board of the CBC. Mr. Crispo went on the air at the CBC some days previous to say the CBC was un- fair in presenting the government side. Mr. Crispo further charged the CBC was presenting leftist ideas, how else can we describe or present ideas that are not popular with Canadians and do not penetrate Crispo's perceptions? Canadians do not need an outdated concept of a Saddam Hussein or a Goeseph Goebels as a perspective to take into consideration from which to build our democracy.

A work should stand on its own merits and not be judged necessarily by its theme or creator. Even so, it's an embarrassment that so few good plays are written in English by Cana- dian authors. (We expect the fur to fly over that statement. Just don't in- voke Tomson highway who is more opportunist than playwright.) What pleasure then, to report that the National Theatre School of Canada has now incorporated and included a writing program within the English section. The first fruits of its labours were presented recently at The Stage Downstairs (26 Berkeley St.) It's titled, rather preten- tiously we thought, "The Voice in the Mirror" or "The Experiments of Dr. Frankenstein". Title not- withstanding, it's good, bloody (sometimes literal- ly) -good. sweated by the company, it's a reworking of the Mary Wollstonecraft I') story of Dr. Frankenstein with complementary music. What's particularly interesting about it, is the way in which the students have created ancillary characters and placed dif- fering emphasis on existing ones. The doctor now has an invalid son with sexual inclinations toward his stepmother. his niece and his housekeeper. The last named has more than a maternal interest in him. The doctor's brother is a wastrel with incestuous leanings toward his own daughter (the cousin desired by his nephew.) The doctor's second wife is a decent woman but sex- ually frustrated. As for the doctor he spends most of his time in the laboratory where his gibbering crea- tion is caged. Oh yes, there's a police inspector who is party to an innocent person being ex- ecuted for the death of a gardener in order to keep secret the creature's crea- tion. Counterpointing all, is the voice of the creature's sprit as a de facto chorus. Complicated? Yes. Good playwriting? Most assured- ly and it gives the lie to the statement that nothing good ever comes out of a committee. Production values were admittedly those of a stu- dent production. The per- formances however were most professional. Of course there were more or less predictable lapses (one still winces at the recollection of one young man saying "Ya didden do it" rather than "You didn't do it") but in the main the young people of the cast ac- quitted themselves right well and one looks forward to seeing them all again in the future. Here are the names of the cast, not necessarily in order of merit. Laurie Armstrong, Paul Berry, Marjorie Campbell, Pthillippa Domville, Lisa Hynes -Applin, Scott Nichol, Leigh Rivenbrark, Rick Roberts and Steve Ross. Kudos as well to the or- chestra of Roxanne Classen on piano, Denis Doucet on clarinet. Mark TORONTO BEACHES LION'S Around and About Your Dining &Entertainment Guide Fraser on cello and Danielle Hebert on bas- soon. They played ex- cellently well,the compell- ing score of director Paul Keenan. The Toronto run has now been completed but, unless the students have other commitments for then, we'd like to see The Voice In The Mirror brought back as a summer attraction. ONSCREEN: Now that admission to Ontario Place is free, one supposes that entry to those inside attractions that are not, could be easier, ie; no long line ups. The Forum attractions are more subject to one's individual tastes but Cinesphere must surely have a universal appeal, particularly with this season's principal Imac at- traction. It's Ring of Fire and no. it has nothing to do with Johnny Cash. It's a film that takes the viewer breathtakingly (frighteningly!) close to - indeed, actually inside some of -the explosive volcanoes that comprise the 30,000 miles of the Pacific Rim where more than three quarters of the world's active volcanoes are located. One doesn't suggest that one's nether garments re- quire changing after a viewing of Ring of Fire but the film is most certainly a reminder that we pay humans remain at the mercw-tender or otherwise - CHARITY BINGO Wed.

Annual Black Tie Bingo On Wed. May 29, at 7 p.m., Canada's Esprit Or- chestra will host its second annual "Celebrity Black - Tie Bingo" at Toronto's magnificent Casa Loma. Proceeds from the event will go to support Esprit - the only orchestra in Canada that exclusively commissions, performs, and promotes new music through its concerts and in- novative education pro- gram. Like last year's event, the fundraiser will attract some of Toronto's biggest celebrities, who will do their part to support Esprit as callers for the Bingo. Brian Orser, Jackie Bur- roughs, Maureen For- rester, Bluma Appel, George Chuvalo, Ann Dit- chburn, Tom Kneebone, and Eddie Shack are just a few of the stars listed on this year's celebrity rouster. of nature. On view with Ring of Fire is Blue Planet, best and most accurately described as a moving portrait of planet Earth. Good double bill. Ex- cdknt dollar value too: $4 for adults, only a deuce for children under 12 and seniors. ON RECORD: Wring our early stage career we once played a character who was describ- ed as "always reading the book reviews" but never reading a book. Times have most certainly changed. Or have they? We now find ourself reading descriptive material for recording releases but not always be- ing afforded the opportuni- ty to bear them. ( Hint, hint Warner Music!) Here are four recent releases for your consideration. Elektra Nonesuch an- nounced "The Girl With Orange lips" showcasing operatic sensation Dawn Upshaw (no relation to Willie Upshaw, now a fust base coach with the Dunedin Blue Jays. ) Then there is Natalie Cole on Elektra with Un- forgettable on which she sings 22 songs made famous by her father, Nat ..King" Cole. We wish her well but wish she wouldn't mess around with his definitive renditions. Van Halen has released, on Warner Brothers, ..For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge". Great title eh? For those who might be unaware, "Unlawful Car- nal Knowledge" is a British law term roughly com- parable to the American one of Statutory Rape. Now, take the first letter of each word in the four word title. What do you get? That's right; you get the infamous F. word. It comes from the British legal system. It's a disgusting word and has no place even by implication in a record title. The term Industrial Music was coined in 1978 by a group recording on the Industrial label. Said group last performed on May 29th, 1981. That's cast to years ago today. Their recordings have now been made available on CD by Mute (sic) Guests will sip com- limentary cocktails and listen to music performed by members of The Esprit Orchestra, as they stroll through Casa Loma's new- ly renovated gardens. Following a delectable din- ner at the'repasta' bar buf- fet, guests will enjoy 6 games of bingo. Clad in their finest creative black - tie, players will 'dab to grab' for their share of the fabulous primes, which in- clude a Week For Four in the Tropical Paradise of St. Lucia, an Individual Por- trait by Cavouk, a SkyDome Box for an up- coming event, and a Cham- pagne Balloon Flight. Cof- fee, cognac, and dessert with the stars, under the stars will complete the evening's festivities. Tickets for Esprit's fun- draiser are $150, and are available from the or- chestra's office, by calling 599-7890. Addicted To Food? Compulsive eaters are invited to the spring con- ference of Overeaters Anonymous on Fri. May 31st to Sun. June 2nd at the Skyline Triumph Hotel, 2737 Keele St. Overeaters Anonymous is not a diet club, there are no dues or fees and no Records. The name of the gyp? Throbbing Gristle! Enough already. ON T.V. The 45th annual Tony Awards take place this Sunday and will be telecast locally on Channel 11 from 9 to 11 P.M. The Tony awards are for the best of Broadway. Paul Hipp has been nominated as best actor in a musical for his role in Buddy. Those of us who saw him performing the role here at the Royal Alex will all be rooting for him. MIRACLES. They still happen and if you want proof. simply keep watching CTV this weekend. From a p.m. this Saturday until 8 p.m. the following Sunday, it's the 7th annual Hospital For Sick Children Foundation Telethon. This year the event is being televised from three locations; the CFTO studios in Agincourt, the hospital itself and, for the first time, Yuk Yuk's at 2335 Yonge St. Yuk Yuk's will go on air between 1 and 4 p.m. As always there will be a whole host of celebrities but there's a special little extra this time around. As most will be aware, the late actress Mary Pickford was born in Toronto and lived where the hospital is now located on University Ave. ( Its original location inciden- tally, is featured as the police headquarters on Night Heat.) Miss Pickford never forgot her Toronto roots and was always very supportive of the hospital. Well, Miss Pickford's film from the twenties, My Best Girl" is to be shown during the telethon. Watch for her leading man, Buddy Rogers. She became his wife and only her death parted them. We met Mr. Rogers a few years ago at the Variety Club; he still mourns his wife. And now, the gentlest of reminders. Don't just watch and enjoy the telethon; make a donation. The next miracle might be your own. You'll know what we mean when you watch the show. MAGIC: David Copperfield opens tonight at The O'Keefe and weigh -ins. O.A. views com- pulsive eating as a physical, emotional and spiritual disease. Members world wide, from all walks of life seek recovery through this 12 step program. For more in- formation call 929-5361. will be there only through Sunday. He is arguably the master illusionist in the world today and his stage shows are infinitely better than his television ap- pearances And his shows at The O'Keefe are better than those he presents in Las Vegas. At least at The O'Keefe, you don't have to walk through a gambling casino to get to the theatre. The only thing you might lose there is your mind as you watch David Copperfidd perform. OPPORTUNITY: The Canadian Opera Qmpany will be holding general auditions next Wednesday at 7 p.m. for supernumeraries ( extras) . Both men and women are sought but there is a par- ticular demand for mea Supers are required to at- tend rehearsals and every performance -a total of three to four weeks for each production in the '911'92 season Wages are $9.50 per rehearsal and slo per per- formance. The time for auditions, as we say, is 7 p.m. The place is the Imperial Oil Opera Theatre (anyone remember Texaco any more?), 227 Front St. E. FOOT NOTE: We hadn't intended to write this but feel con- strained to do so after at- tending a performance of the Kiev Ballet at The O'Keefe. A review after the fact (the Kiev has now left us following a far too short engagement) is rather much like lighting a cigarette the morning after instead of just after. We want to say, however, that those who missed this excellent ensemble should hang their heads. Here was disciplined humour, humourous sex and, quite simply, fine dancing. Our thanks to excellent publicists Joel Green and Bruce Chown for arranging our viewing. Encore please for the hoped for return engagement. FAST EXIT: Our thanks to the ex- cellent O'Keefe staff for .finding and quickly return- ing milady's errant purse. Much obliged. 4 More Finalists For 1991 Miss Scarborough Pageant Four more finalists for the 1991 Miss Scarborough Pageant were selected last week.

Eight teams from the eastern section of Ontario answered the invite to the Black Fly Invitational and it was a see -saw battle for top points all week -end long between the Scarborough Swim Club entry and the Ottawa Y Olympians. "Everyone of our swim- mers won at least one event and our relay teams were tops," said Coach Marilyn Devin. "We won 5 out of 8 Freestyle Relays and 4 out of 8 Medley Relays." "Without enough Senior ,swimmers to make up relay teams we could not score in those events." Best performance at the meet was Michael Lew's 50 breaststroke event in which he made the Provin- cial Championship stan- dard for 10 and under boys. Other 10 & under relay team members were Jaime Imbers, Bryan Magpayo, Brian Lue-Shing, Sean Power, Cori Walker, Melanie Carnell, Jennifer Brankousld, Gloria Imbers and Lydia Twining. On the 11 & 12 teams were Amanda Gryseels, Tricia Punchard, Dawn Slack, Mark Lange, Ramon Gonzalez, Doug Peck, Jose Walsh, Dev Pahwa and Derek Howard. The 13 & 14 age group teams were Melissa McGowan, Candice Cheung, Christy Cook, Angela Miller, Mark Power, Bart rioter and Jeff Roes.

Swimmers were treated to a Beach Bar -B -Cue and marshallow roast on Satur- day night. They stayed over in cabins by the Deep River. It was an exciting victory at the pool and a great evening on the beach, a neat reward for the hard training season just com- pleted. Local Teams In Dragon Boat Race Three teams from the Scarborough area will be seeking top honours in this year's Dragon Boat Race Festival, to be held at Cen- tre Island on the weekend of Jun 15 and 16. The Scarborough teams, entered by the Hong Kong Btatdintg Association, Stan- dard Chartered Bank of Canada and Toronto Hong Kong Lions Club, will be competing for the right to represent Toronto at the world championship inter- national dragon boat races in Hong Karg in 1992. The festival, now in its third year, is already on its way to becoming one of the most exciting and popular sporting and cultural events in southern Ontario. attracting teams from throughout the year and thousands of spectators and participants - The festival, one of the most important traditions in Chinese culture, is organized by the Toronto Chinese Business Associa- tion, a non-profit commuu- ty organization and spearheaded by a team made up of association directors and a growing ar- my of volunteers. Close to 60 teams are ex- pected to take part in this year's festival, which will also include special demonstrations and cultural dances and music from a large number of ethnic communities. "The festival is more than an exciting water sport," said TCBA Presi- dent Alexis Yam. ' `It's a very dynamic part of our folklore and culture - a tradition we feel very privileged to share with Canadians of every com- munity and one which we hope will become an ex- citing Toronto tradition in years to comae." The Dragon Boat Race Festival, also known as Poet's Day, dates back 2,400 years and com- memorates the death of Qu Yuan, a poet and minister of state of the Chou Dynas- ty, who was expelled from his office when he called upon the emperor to reform the country's cor- rupt regime. Unhappy and dejected, be wondered about the countryside, writing poems about his love of country and its people, unable to bear these injustices any longer, he committed suicide by drowning himself in the Mi Lo River. According to legend, local fishermen raced out with their boats in an at- tempt to save him - but fail- ed to prevent his body from being eaten by the fish - They beat the waters furiously with their paddles and threw rice dumplings, wrapped in silk into the river as a sacrifice to his spirit. The scene of the fa hermaen racing out to save Qu Yuan is reenacted every year as an exciting festival in Hong Kong and in countries with large Chinese communities in the form of dragon boat races. Tuen Ng Jit, as the festival is called in Chinese, is also thought to be a rain -malting festival for ensuring a good harvest. The boats used in The Toronto Dragon Boat Race Festival are 13.5 metres or 38.5 feet in length and man- ned by a 22 member crew, which includes one drum- mer and one steersperson. Length of the Toronto cause is 610 metres or 2,100 feet. Each lane is 10 metres or 33 feet wide. In addition to a trip to Haag Kong in 1992 for the winning team, a large number of trophies and prizes will be up for grabs, including a Police Cup donated by the Chid of Police and Metropolitan Toronto Police.

ONTARIO L3P 1 X5 role of policy makers and planners in promoting sus- tainable development. Sus- tainable development is a framework which respects scarce and non-renewable resources while enhancing people's self-sufficiency. Step In Right Direction Marie Labatte, Metropolitan Couricillor for Don Parkway and Chairman of the Transportation Committee, last week praised the Attorney General of the Province of Ontario for moving towards giving municipalities more control of the parking ticket system. Currently municipalities issue parking tickets and collect the revenue only if the ticket is paid on time and without challenge. If a driver fails to pay or challenges their ticket, the province takes over. "Finally we're getting off our duffs! A rationalization of the system is long overdue," Councillor Labatte said. "Metropolitan Toronto is best situated and has the capacity to administer the parking system. The current system results in a duplication of computer records." Under the new provincial scheme, municipalities will get the chance to assume more control over the processing of parking tickets headed for provincial court. Further, greater changes are being contemplated for the future. Reforms that would give municipalities primary responsibility of the parking system are under considera- tion. Reforms to the system could entail the establishment of municipal tribunals to bear parking trials instead of pro- vincial courts. "Thus is a step in the right direction! I welcome the oppor- tunity to begin negotiations with the province," says Coun- cillor Labatte. "A revised parking enforeernait system is something that Metro has been advocating for a long time. I am convinced that Metro is the most appropriate level of government to be managing parking enforcement. - Metro Council News from Ken Morrish Count ft Scarborough HighWW Creek Regarding Composters Residents of Scarborough Highland Creek have been in- terested in the Metro Toronto Composting Program since its beginnuig.

Metro has now been able to price these cornposters at $10 each. The Metro Toronto Works Department is giving away free leaf compost starting Sat. May 18th. The high-quality soil conlitioer is the result of 600 tomes of leaves col- lected from Metro Toronto resident s in 1988. Every fall, residents are asked to gather their old leaves for special municipal collections. The leaves are then taken to Metro's Avondale composting site in Maple where they are turned into a rich soil conditioner. During the 1989 and 1990 fall seasons, approximately 2,000 tomes and 8,400 ton - ties, respectively. were received. In 1989, several of the area municipalities within Meto Toronto set up their own leaf composting sites to handle the collected leaves. The process of leaf composting is a natural one, allowing the leaves to decompose in long narrow piles called win- drows. The piles are turned and watered as required. The 1988 product has been approved by the Ontario Ministry of the Environment for unrestricted public use. Residents can pick up a maximum of one cubic yard of the leaf compost at the Metro Works distribution centres on Saturdays from May 18 to June 22, 1991. Residents must br- ing and fill their own contaitets. The distribution centres are the Keele Valley Landfill Site ( Hwy. 400 North, east on Major Mackenzie, north on McNaughton Road) and at 400 Commissioners Street ( Metro facility) in Toronto. Hoerr of operation are Saturdays from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. For more in- formation, residents can call the Metro Works Department at 39248285.

Mural Routes will crisscivss the City of Scar- borough in a series of ur- ban trails, each trail hav- ing its own thane. The first mural in the project, "Half Way House". was painted by John Hood at the corner of Kingston Rd. and Midland Ave. during the summer of 1990. In 1991 six more murals will be added to the Heritage Trail, five of them in Cliffside Village. This mural 'cluster' will not on- ly improve the physical im- age of the area, but will provide an incentive to local residents and people from further afield to stop and browse in the neighbourhood. Scarborough Arts Coun- cil has been working close- ly with members of the Cliffside B.I.A. to organise this mural project, but it cannot be done without the assistance of the local com- munity. The thanes, the walls and the artists have all been chosen ; the comple- tion of the project now depends on the success of the fundraising campaign. The budget for the six murals planned for 1991 is $69,000. If you would like to become partners with the Scarborough Arts Council and other businesses and citizens of Scarborough to fill in the blank walls and make Mural Routes a real- ty, call Karin Eaton at 755-22M or Sue Senior at All donations are tax deductible and donors will be acknowledged in print. If you sponsor the cost of an entire mural, your name will be inscribed on a pla- que on the wall and you will be an honoured guest at the dedication ceremony.

"In our laboratory we produce ethanol at the rate of 200 litres per tonne. Greater Toronto area gar- bage can be fermented to ethanol with a current wholesale value of 5240 million," he says. To facilitate the conver- sion of garbage into ethanol, metals, glass. con- crete and compostables must first be removed from the garbage, leaving only the paper. Enzymes and yeast are then added to Li- quefy the paper into a solu- tion of fermentable sugars and allow fermentation to occur. Once distilled, the result is the fuel, ethanol. Wayman hopes his laboratory results will be realized industrially in the near future. Currently his research team is focusing on improving the bioconversion process and developing economical means to produce the necessary enzymes. The project is supported by the Ontario Ministry of the Environment and the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council. •.... ....... ..... ..... •.... .• Metro Toronto Council .:.::.:-:.:::.:.:::::::.::: City of Scarborough Scarborough BMN BRIAN ASHTON - office open 8:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. Moa to Fri. 390 Bay St..
