(Photo - Bob Watson) Inquests In 15 Children Deaths "An inquest into the deaths of 15 handicapped children at a local institu- tion has raised ethical issues surrounding the in- stitutionalization of children" says Keith Powell, Executive Director of the Association for Com- munity Living of Ajax. Pickering and Whitby. The inquest. being held before Dr. Ross Bennett is investigating the deaths of 15 children over a two-year period at the Christopher Robin Home for Children in Ajax. "We are deeply disturb- ed by this terrible tragedy. This is not the fust time in- stances of multiple deaths in institutions have occur- red," stated Inez Curl, President of AP.W.A.C.L "As a community, we must be concerned that when children are placed in institutions, more often than not, family ties are severed, and the care given, is often not what a parent would rule suitable in any other situation," says Curl. "When a person has a child born to them with multiple disabilities, there is a lack of information and most of all, a lack of op- tions given to the parents, by the supposed experts„ Powell stated. Qualified personnel will be on hand to give cost estimates of major repairs. Refreshments will be pro- vided throughout the day, including a birthday cake in honour of the Ontario March of Dimes' 40th An- niversary. For more information call 434-5280. ••It appears that due to the presence of multiple handicaps and a resulting label, and regardless of the medical issues, parents are told their childrne will un- doubtably fie and would therefore be better served in an institution. We defy the "experts" to con- clusively prove that all of those children were "medically fragile". a tam we believe to be in- credibly misleading." In response to a growing interest in the town regar- ding communications bet- ween the community and municipal government, Mayor Wayne Arthns in- vited people from each group to meet with him on Sat. May 25, at the Picker- ing Central Library in a ,'Vision Workshop" to ad- dress shortcomings and build on strengths. "I see this as a first step in establishing a common vision for our community„, Mayor Arthurs said. I an- ticipate today's initiative will be the basis for im- proved communication and the catalyst for the development of a strategic plan for the Town of Pickering.” A broad cross section of residents joined council members and senior staff in a vigorous discussion resulting in a common base of understanding of focus This Space Could Be Yours For arras and obstacles and a consensus on the most beneficial actions for im- provement. " I'm grateful to the Mayor for giving us the op- portunity of participaWtig." said Leon Butt, President Durham Condominium Corp., No.93. "I believe that this beginning will have very positive results." Focus areas m- chded the planning Pro- cess, communications and quality of life issues. Long time active Picker- ing resident Barbara Black said, "Today's discussion lays the foundation for an on-going process to address the social, economic and environmental needs of the community." The mayor was charged with the responsibility of forming a small task force representative of the par- ticipating interests; (coun- cil, staff and residents) to review Saturday's work and to make specific recommendations on how the process should con- tinue. In closing the session Mayor Arthurs said, "I am personally committed to continuing the process and I am gratified that we have agreed upon the need for a Strategic Planning process to better serve both the community and the municipal government. PRINTING 683.1968 Serving the Community for 25 Years! Welfare Is Flexible by Brenda Birinyi A Pickering welfare reci- pient, has found a lucrative way to make some money. The owner of a local Pickering retail store, was distressed when a customer redeemed s3oo. in cash from a welfare che- que• The cheque was in the amount of $500. and was issued to the welfare client when he put in a request for a new mattress. His wife had chosen the $500. mat- tress and Social Services issued a cheque to pt r - chase the bedding. Welfare policy permits clients to purchase specific items, in this case, a new mattress. However, the $500. cheque that was issued by the welfare department, found most of its way into the welfare client's pocket. When the husband came back to purchase the M. mattress, he changed his mind. and purchased a $200. mattress instead, re- questing the $300. dif- ference in cash. "It is not my business to tell him (the welfare client) that I could not give him the difference in rasa," according to the store owner who does not wad to be identified, so he complied with the request. However, when the customer left the store, the store owner became furious. "This is such an obnriaus 'ripping off' of the sem-" Upon delivering the mat- tress to the customer's house, the retailer couldn't help but notice the upper class neighbourhood and the two new cars in the driveway. "A guy that lives in a house like that must have some money somewhere to buy a $200. mattress," complained the store owner. However, this is not so, according to Durham Region Social Services Ad- ministrator, Paul goutier. Cloutier has witnessed this past year a disturbing in- crease in the upper middle class families that are tur- ning to welfare for support. He aces not deny some clients are abusing the system, nevertheless, he maintains it is only 2-3% and added, more people cheat on their income tax return. Durham region has 4.5% of the population on welfare, which one-third are children and according to Cloutier, it is the children who are "most vulnerable". He adamant- ly defends the case load of the case workers reveal- ing, the average case load being 150 families per social service worker. "If we ( social services) are convinced there is a need to provide )ur client with a cheque to purchase something for their home, we do it. However, we don't check up on them to ensure they did, the work load would be too great." Cloutier does agree that some people will take ad- vantage of whatever type of system you have in place. It is for this reason the store owner suggested to social services, that he would rather invoice the welfare department direct- ly. He also remarked, that Social Services could have a list of stores willing to enter into a similar agree- ment therefore, leaving the welfare client out of the transaction. Cloutier replied that social services could not do that because, "we wad to be as non -controlling as possible, we don't wad to tell our clients where to shop. They have lost much of their dignity already." Unfortunately, most disturbing to them, just last week a similar pro- blem occurred in their store again. Another welfare client appeared at their store to purchase some bedding. He purchas- ed two pillows totalling $14. and asked for the balance in cash just like the man who bought the mattress. His cheque was in the amount Of $150. This time, the store owner's wife was there and refused his request. The customer began to pur- chase additiocal sheets etc. until his total matched the amount of the cheque. He returned moments later, wanting to return the mer- chandise for a cash refund She again refused the re- quest, but did volunteer to give him baht the cbeque. The unhappy customer lit the store yelling at the owner, "I need the cash, the cheque is no good to me because it is made out in your; name!„ This recant incident has compelled this husband and wife to close this loop hole, insisting social ser- vices to invoice their store directly. Unfortunately, this has not worked out well for this couple. Past accounts art overdue and when they question social services, asking for payment, they receive a well used response, the cheque. is in the mail. Happy With Student Painters The Head Injury Associa- tion of Durham Region (H.I.A.D) is very happy with the Student Painters, Ltd. of Oshawa, Newcastle and Bowmanville for their generosity in staining the wheelchair ramp and deck at the association's new of- fice at 459 Bond St. E.

June 5, 1991 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Oath Of Allegiance Sir: The Rae Government's abolition of the Oath to the Queen taken by Ontario Police Officers and Commissioners has properly aroused wide public resentment. The foolishness of this move has been compounded by arrogance: Beverly Morley, the Premier's Appointment Secretary informs the League that "this isn't an issue outside Toronto", an asser- tion certain to be rejected around the Province. The abolition of the Oath is wrong for a variety of reasons: first, it is insulting to Her Majesy the Queen, whose service, dedication and stable influence are widely respected and admired by most Canadians. Second, by tak- ing this step allegedly in the name of making police forces more accesssible to our ethnic communities, Mr. Rae in- sults their loyalty to the Crown. Many immigrants and new Canadians have come to this land precisely because of the freedom and prosperity we enjoy here under our parliamentary monarchy. In addition, the Premier has succumbed to the 'cafeteria Canadianism' of Susan Eng and those of her ilk. This is the dangerous position that suggests Canadians have the right to opt out of any part of the country which happens not to appeal to them. Such an attitude can only further contribute to the disunity of our land. Further, Rae shows gross insen- sitivity by adding the Monarchy - one of the few unifying forces in a divided Canada - to the already emotional debates about the Constitution. We need to take immediate action to condemn Rae's republican initiative. Ontanans who would like background information and a petition form which they can circulate to friends and neighbours urging the reversal of this wrong. insulting decision should write the Monarchist League of Canada at PO Box 1057, Oakville, Ont. W 5E9. Let's send the Premier a message he won't forget, whether we live close to or far from Toronto! Yaws faithfully. John Aime s. Dominion Chairman Justice System In Turmoil by Michael Harris, Leader, Progressive Conservative Par- ty of Ontario You don't have to look very far to find cause for concern . a newspaper carnes a stop about increasing violence in the schools .. a radio report provides details of a crime committed by a convict on parole .. a magazine cover story focuses on drug use among teenagers. The public increas- ingly feels under seige and unsafe. Police too, are under increasing pressure, both psychologically and phsyically. Many police forces find themselves spreading their resources more and more thin- ly to cope with the rising incidence of crime. As well. they must deal with more violent criminals than ever before, and with a chronically overloaded court system. Many police officers now feel they are being attacked by all sides. Lack of resources makes it more difficult to catch criminals in the first place. and even when arrests are made. there is no guarantee the case will get to trial in time. The recent Supreme Court decision on the right to a speedy teal has seen literally thousands of cases thrown out. some involving very serious charges. When an officer who has worked long and hard. often at the risk of personal safety, to make an arrest sees the suspect walking free without a trial having been held, it creates an incredible level of frustration. These increasing pressures on our law enforcement com- munity are accompanied by the belief of many police of- ficers that the provincial government, instead of working on possible solutions, is actually part of the problem. Decisions taken by the NDP, such as the alteration of the traditional oath taken by police officers in the province to exclude the Queen, are seen as attacks on the foundation of the justice system. Unfortunately, the morale of law enforcement officials is being eroded at a time when All sectors of our society are under strain from the recession and the rapid pace of social change. at times such as these, crime of all types tends, to increase . . due to financial desperation and increasing social frictions. Now, more than ever, our police need to feel the public is behind them.

Mainstream Canada The major concerns of small business By Terry O'Shaughnessy Detesting the very idea of taxes is certainly nothing new, especially in today's climate of never-ending tax increases. From sky -rocketing municipal taxes to the much -maligned GSI; Cana- dians everywhere have had enough. For small businesses, the list of concerns above and beyond the issue of taxation is even more daunting. In a recent study of the major issues con- fronting the small- and medium- sized business community, the Canadian Federation of Inde- pendent Business surveyed its members on the most significant concerns facing business owners and discovered that, while being an ordinary. taxpayer is hard enough, owning a small busi- ness can be even tougher. Ranking as the chief con- cern among business owners is, of course, the overall burden of tax. With 69 per cent of the more than 21,800 CFIB mem- bers polled citing taxes as their major irritant, the study con- cludes: "Taxes have become the single most predominant busi- ness issue among small- and medium-sized firm ... the tax tolerance of Canadians has been significantly eroded at the sight of continued high lcvds of spending by governmfents that have still not learned that the best solutions to most economic problems require less public sec- tor intervention, nes shore. " And while the GST had not yet been introduced during the time the survey was conducted (the latter half of 1990), its looming presence added to the prevailing sense of pessimism within the small business community. Sales tax, however, is only pan of the overall gloomy tax picture: "Busiriess owners in '.Newfoundland, for example, object to the high provincial sales tax and the lack of even partial retailer compensation for its collection. Firms in Saskatchewan are hit hard by regressive property taxes while businesses in Manitoba and Ontario have the greatest prob- lems with unfair payroll and property tax structures." Second on the list of small business concerns is govern- ment regulation and paper - burden with 53 per cent of CF1B members registering this issue as a major complaint. The study explains: "On their own, each government requirement may be designed with the best of intentions. Taken together, however, the compliance burden is considerable. The typical small business has to spend three to four hours each week on government regulation and paperwork. For small busi- nesses without the formal operating practices necessary in larger firms, the burden is especially heavy because the learning process for compliance falls on the business owners— on top of their other consider- able responsibilities. - In spite of the deepening recession, 37 per cent of those surveyed said that the shortage of qualified labor was also a major concern. The study points out: "The highest in- cidence of labor shortages is still found among independent construction and manufactur- ing firsts. even though these sectors have been among the hardest hit by the recession. These conditions highlight the tremendous loss in Canada's economic potential due to labor market skills Limitations.- While imitations.-While taxes. paperbualm and shortage of qualified labor continue to be the main con- cerru facing Canada's small firms, there are other issues also facing this vital job -creating senor. Provincial workers' compensation boards are a concern for 33 per cent of respondents while municipal taxes and spending is an issue for 32 per cent. Finally. availa- bility of financing was cited as a major concern for 24 per cent of survey respondents. Like most Canadians, small business owners are struggling to cope with the current reces- sxxiary times. But if the small business community is to play its traditional leading role of tifting our economy out of the recession, more attention— much more—must be paid to the specific needs of this dynamic sector. Understanding their concerns is the means to that end. Cfre c..e.. SWVCO STATFACTS Transfers from other governments provided the single biggest cash transfusion - $26.8 billion - for governments at the municipal level in 1990, Statistics Canada figures show. The total was up $2.1 billion from the previous year. Viewed collectively, municipal governments in recent years have spent more than they collected. Statistics Canada figures show total local government spending in 1990 was almost $59.6 billion. With revenue totalling $571.6 billion. this left a $2 billion shortfall. ty, and to be providing police forces with the resources necessary to ensure the safety of our communities. As well, action must be taken to address the underlying causes of the increases in the crime rates, and to ease the backlog in the court systems. No-one wants to see more crime in the streets, more criminals escaping justice, or more victims suffering as a result. The question is how to avoid those consequences of a justice system in turmoil. Our Canada Address by Judge Gordon J. Chong at his Swearing-in Ceremony Judge Willcock, my fellow judges, friends and fellow citizens! Today is a very important day in my life and in the lives of those of you who have been sworn in as new Cana- dians. However, I was faced with a problem in trying to think of something significant to say to a mixed audience - those who are citizens by birth and those who are citizens by choice. "Canada first, Canada last, Canada always" originally articulated by Sir Wilfred Laurier in 1904, perhaps best ex- emplifies my sentiments about Canadian citizenship. That is also the outlook that I hope every citizen would adopt. After a month or so as Citizehsip Judge, I have come to realize how much Canadian citizenship is cherished by those from abroad - in fact, it is cherished and sought after with such determination that I have come to appreciate even more all the things I take for granted and have never really thought about, such as freedom of speech, freedom of movement, freedom of religion and the freedom to choose my representative at all three levels of government. This country gives us so much freedom that it is sometimes an- noying and frustrating to listen to those in our midst who would distort or exaggerate problems to pander to our fears or nurture past grievances or those in our midst who would unilaterally replace the symbols and traditions of western civilization and western parliamentary democracy that have evolved over the centuries and given us the very system that we cherish. To listen to them, you would think that we live under some oppressive, racist dictatorship in- stead of one of the most sought-after democratic sanc- tuaries in the world. Although Canada is far from perfect, people whose countries are in turmoil, are still willing to uproot themselves and plant new roots here. That, in itself, speaks volumes about the kind of country that Canada is. However, despite all our riches, despite all our good for- tune. Canada is in the throes of internal unrest with some deep divisions. Canada needs the energy, the time, the understanding, the patience. the goodwill, and above all, the love and devotion of all its citizens. We are always quick to invoke our rights as Canadians, but seldom reflect on our responsibilities as Canadians. These concomitant respon- sibilities are at once awesome yet simple - if one is commit- ted to the principles behind them. We know what Cathada can do for tics - but. what can we do for Canada's What can we do for this country that we now ALL call home? First, I believe no matter where we tonne from and what emotional attachment we may have for our country of origin, the future of Canada and its institutions must be our first priority and our only loyalty_ We cannot allow a Shadowy old love to flit in and out of our lives. We have a new relationship that demands our full-time attention. Second, we must not look upon Canada's policy of mu lti- cWturalism as officially sanctioning ethnic enclaves. While it should nurture tolerance and mutual tnderstanduV, it must not be allowed to breed self-imposed isolation and drive tss further apart. New Canadians must make every ef- fort to integrate themselves as quickly as possible into the Canadian mainstream. Socialize with others of different backgrairhds and encourage your children to do the same. Only by socializing with our fellow Canadians, from all walks of life. will there ever be true integration incl true understanding. Third, we must discard our excess baggage. It is said over and over again that Canada is a nation of immigrants. While we have physically left our previous homes, some of us have never left them psychologically. We have transplanted old quarrels and rivalries here in Canada. Speaking as a Canadian whose parents were both im- migrants, with different racial backgrounds, I find that unacceptable and unhealthy. I realize low difficult it may be, but we must discard the negative excess baggage of the past - anything less will simply anchor us m the past. Canada needs our unique perspective to help chart its future - don't allow the past to divert our attention from that important task. While each of us brings a past perspective to a fresh beginning, we must never allow the past to dominate our thinking. We should learn from the past - we should not live in it! In adopting Canada as our home, we are starting with a clean slate - a new, blank, untarnished page in our lives! Let us thoughtfully and carefully fill in ,that page for Canada's future as well as our own. In closing, as is customary in similar circumstances, I must emphasize that my remarks and views do not necessarily reflect those of my colleagues. They are mine and mine alone. STATFACTS Education has traditionally accounted for the lion's share of municipal government spending. According to Statistics Canada estimates, the elementary and secondary educa- tion bill paid by local governments in 1990 amounted to $23.6 billion, up some $1.7 billion from the previous year. t Give A Gift That Lasts All Year!

June S. 11991 Bill Watt's Worlds CLASS ('OUNTRV: Country music, grass roots music, western sw- ing, shit kickin' music -cap it what you will -is general- ly considered, and rightly -so, the music of the people. That's not to say, however, that its pro- venance is the domain of the hoi polloi. No indeed; country music is as popular an Park Ave. as it is on :Main St. And, its practi- tioners are quite sophisticated artists and business people. This was brought home to us again recently when we attended the annual Big Country Awards of R. P.M. Magazine, Canada's leading post devoted to the recording industry. Mixing and mingling in perfect homogeneity were musicians and singers. broadcasters, industry ex- ecutives, music publishers and members of the media. All were affable, all were intelligent, all had a fine time both dining (the Har- bour Ballroom of the Har- bour Castle Westin features good cuisine in- cluding lucullan roast beef) and enjoying the awards presentations. Genial Walter Grealis and Stan Klees presided over the proceedings and kept them moving briskly. There was none of the boredom sometimes associated with awards functions. For us, sophistication was much in evidence in the acceptance speeches of the winners. All knew their worth, all spoke briefly and intelligently: there wasn't an "aw shucks" or toe turn- ed into the grand all even- ing- As always it was a class evening and our thanks are extended to Walter and Stan. Here are the winners. Top female vocalist, Michelle Wright: Top male, George Fox; Best Country single, Goodbye, So Long, Hello by Prairie Oyster; Top Country pro- ducer; Howie Vickers for Somewhere On The Island; Top country composer, Gary Fjellgard (we were pulling for Willie Bennett .and his Goodbye, So Long) : Outstanding new artist, Patricia Conroy: Top group, Prairie Oyster; Best Country album; With All My Heart George Fox; Top record company, Warner Music; Top radio station CRAM; Top Coun- try personality, Cliff Dumas of CHAM; Cana- dian Country artist of the year; Michelle Wright. Canadian Country music is in good hands. ON STAGE: An interesting, if esoteric E is in preview as this is being written and opens this Friday at Inner Stage (St. Nicholas St. 6th floor). An Epiphany For Isadora is based on the writings and letters of Isadora Duncan and features the music of Beethoven, Wagner, Nakai and Ravel. It is the latter aspect that is intriguing. Too often it's forgotten that not all of the music of Beethoven and Wagner is heavy. Some of it is eminently suitable for the dance. Artistic Director Elizabeth Szatlnnary por- trays Miss Duncan and will dance to the choreography of Jodi Soltau. Call 967-3548 for ticket in- formation.

IN PRINT: A favourite book is pro- bably best defined as one that can be read often and still enjoyed with each reading. One of our favourites is Arthur Conan Doyle's "The Lost World" in which four intrepid explorers discover an isolated plateau in South America where prehistoric creatures, ie dinosaurs. have survived. We were probably twelve or less when we fust read it and loved it. Remember, however, that we were just a tad young and still read comic books as well. So it was that a few years later we enjoyed a Batman episode in which an en- trepreneur constructed what is now called a theme part featuring prehistoric creatures .. ie, dinosaurs. Now we have Jurassic Park ( Alfred A. Knopf) by Michael Crichton. Yes, there are prehistoric creatures, ie dinosaurs and yes. the setting is a theme park . . in Costa Rica. Moreover, the dinosaurs are real. They are alive and many, perhaps most are sentient. How can this be? The answer is relative- ly simple. An exceptionally wealthy entrepreneur has had the dinosaurs brought into be- ing through the miracle of D.N.A. reconstruction. Think now; what is amber? It's petrified sap from beyond the dawn of history. Sap traps insects and in- deed, insects are often found in amber and perceived by many as im- perfections. Now, think about those insects. Might they not have stung creatures and absorbed their blood and, or even their tissue? And, given that, might not the D. N. A formula of the beasts be deciphered and used to reconstruct them millions of years later? Allow us now a rhetoncaL question. Is Jurassic Park a good book? No doubt FAIRVIEW LIBRARY THEATRE 35 Fairview Mall Drive.

Quilt Exhibition In New Hamburg A Quilt Exhibition Celebrating 25 years of the Mennonite Relief Sale will be held from May 16 to June 23. The Mennonite Central (Committee's annual Relief Sale in New Hamburg, Ont. is famous for its auction of quilts. One collector, Elfrieda Heinrichs, has been buying quilts nearly every year. Now numbering 200. her collection contains many styles and patter , both traditional and contem- porary. To commemorate about it. Is it as good as it might have been? We think not. The problem with Jurassic Park is the same one that prevails in most of Dr. Crichton's books. He takes a fascinating, even brilliant premise and turns it into an adventure yarn; a good one admittedly but still an adventure yarn. It seems to us that his boots would have more relevance were he to devote more attention to the mord and ethical con- siderations of the misuse of science. He -touches on it in Jurassic Park. One of the clnaractas, obviously Dr. Crichton's alter ego. rails against the whole concept of the park and of science being practised for the sake of pure science with no thought of possible con- sequences. He is, however, only a minor character and his excellent utterances are tucked away to make room for the adventures. ( Well, you might as well know; the power system on the island fails during a storm and the dinosaurs get away.) The book continues to sell well and the author clearly knows what he's about. Still, our objection re- mains. As written, Jurassic Park might well be forgot- ten in a decade or so or simply remembered as a good adventure treat. Never the less, we await the sequel. Oh yes, the en- ding just begs for a follow up. AUTHOR, AUTHOR! Congratulations to Ellerhouse, Nova Scotia writer Alfred Silver.

IN THE CITY: We've just recently received Ian Tyson's latest album from Stony Plain. Its title is "And Stood There Amazed". Full review will follow in a future column. For now, in- dulge us please as we use the title as a hook for the following. We stood there amazed as we attended recently a V.I.P. reception celebrating the second an- niversary of the Chestnut Park Hotel. amazed because we remember when the only thing of in- terest on Chestnut St. was the original Angelo's; amazed at the way in which Toronto has reversed the North American trend by irnproving its downtown As we climbed the stairs to the gallery rnezzanine there was the tinkling of cocktail piano. Upon ar- rival there were three full serving tables. One dispensed hot seafood prepared in sight by a master chef. Another featured hot pastas, again prepared to virtual order of the guest. A third served smoked B.C. salmon with correct accompaniments. In the centre of the roan was a huge -the word is appropriate -serving table almost groaning under its weight of cruditEs. Kitty corner to it was a buffet with a selection of desserts that tempted even the most serious of dieters. Servitors and ser- vitresses circulated with trays of champagne and a full bar provided heavier refreshment for those desiring it. The guests were con- vivial and the staff of the Chestnut Park was there to join them with equal con- viviality. All in all it was a fine evening. And to think that it took place on Chestnut St.! We stood there amaz- ed. IN THE AIR: Once again this year, Benson & Hedges is staging the International Fireworks Competition at Ontario Place. It runs from The hags are 12 noon to 1:.30 p.m. For more details call the Scarborough Volunteer Centre at 264-2308. June 22nd to July 10th and is titled, quite properly, "A Symphony of Fire". In our increasingly pro- saic world there are few at- tractions that can claim legitimately to be spec- tacular. One of them is -Symphony at Fim„ is which gorgeous displays of fireworks are accompanied by fine music. We salute Benson & Hedges, CFRB, CKFM and Global Television for bring- ing this attraction to us. We understand that that are some who object to this event, not to the event itself but rather to the major sponsor. What's that? You didn't know that Benson and Hedges are tobacco manufacturers? Oh yes in- deed, and perceived by some as being merchants of death, rather in the man- ner of the Krupp's Munition Works or Dupont Chemicals. ( Mind you, that's worse than the Neilson Chocolate people who only provided schools with book covers that il- lustrated mouthwatering chocolate bars. Our teeth didn't decay as a result of eating chocolate only because we couldn't afford to buy it. To all such objectors we say only this; no one ever twisted anyone's arm to make them buy a cigarette! And, what would sex be like without a cigarette after? FAST EXIT: We have long admired author James Michener and were pleased to discover recently that we share more than just a Scottish heritage. We type the same way and for the same reason. Mr. Michener pecks away on a Royal 440 (we batter a Smith -Corona Clip- per) using both index fingers plus his right thumb for the space bar. "If you type adeptly with 10 fingers, you're typing faster than your mind is working," he maintains. "Even this way, I type just a little too fast."

I. V.E. (Leadership in Volunteer Efforts) Residential Volunteer Camp at Canadore College in North Bay. Only 40 students were selected from across On- tario. Students selected have a strong history of volunteer activity. All were nominated by their sctlool principal - "Jennifer is a very in- volved, energetic, friendly young woman. She is highly respected by her peers and teachers. Jen- nifer is always cheerful and has a pleasant smile for everyone,,, says Prin- cipal Mr. Myrvold. She is very involved with the Sir Wilfrid Laurier Drug Information Student Group, which is a group of students who go to various elementary schools throughout the year, talk- ing to children in grades six to eight about morals, values, and 'drug awareness. Following the camp each participant will be linked with a highly visible role model in his or her com- munity. This additional support provides a forum for discussion on leader- ship development, par- ticularly as it relates to a local volunteer project. Mike Harris, M.P.P. Nipissing and Leader of the Ontario Progressive Con- servative Party, honorary chairman of the L.I.V.E. program indicated "The camp experience will be developed on the important ideals of voluntarism and the intrinsic values of good citizenship. It will be designed to promote and encourage a commitment to community service and volunteer leadership in the youth of Ontario." Caribbean Celebrations At The ROM June 6 This summer, you don't have to travel very far to experience the sights and sounds of a Caribbean festival when "Caribbean Webrations" comes to the Royal Ontario Museum, June 6th to Sept. 3rd. Spectacular costtmyes up to 16 feet (4.8 metres) tall, dramatic masks, lively music, and a drumfull of cultural activities brarusport you to four major Caribbean festivals, in- cluding Carnival in Trinidad and Tobago, and Caribana in Toronto. The centrepiece of the ROM's summer -long event is an exhibition organized by the Saint Louis Art Museum called "Carib- bean Festival Arts". This slow combines 36 stunning costumes and masks with dramatic lighting, video displays, taped music and photo murals. To enhance and per- sonalize the Saint Louis ex- hibition, the ROM adds "Toronto Mas", a display of thrilling costumes and photos from Toronto's own Cribbean festival, Caribana, and a host of pro- grams featuring Caribbean cooking, storytelling, craft workshsops, films and lec- tures, which provide a comprel i ive look at the rich culture of the Carib- bean. A visit to the ROM is far less expensive than a plane ride south as everything is included with the price of Museum admission. Here's what you will see: Caribana Festivities Just before entering the Saint Louis display, visitors encounter five vibrant costumes and five masks selected from Toronto's 1989 and 1990 Caribana festivals. Created by some of Toron- to's leading artists, the costumes range from the award-winning 12 -toot (3.6 metre) tall "High Priest of Eldorado", busting with yellow plumage and Pre- Columbian mask images to "For the Birds". a soaring flock of loons, Whooping Cranes, and a Great Blue Heron created to raise awareness of Canada's en- dangered species. ni. LAmnis Next comes Display Saint Louis display where 36 costumes and numerous masks highlight the remarkable creativity of artists. from nine 'Carib- bean countries, including the Bahamas, the Dominican Republic, Haiti and Cuba, and from festivals in London, England, Brooklyn, N.Y., New Orleans, and Toronto. Ranging in size from human scale to 16 feet (4.8 metres), these imaginative costumes are fashioned from materials such as mirrors, sequins, rhinestones, feathers, crepe paper, and beads. Caribbean Culture After experiencing the dynamic sights and sounds of Caribbean festivals, don't miss the ROM's col- ourful program of related presentations, lectures and films, organized in con- sultation with members from Toronto's African and Caribbean communities. Family members of all ages can pick up tips on Caribbean cooking, try their hand at mask mak- ing, listen to the rousing beat of steel band music or watch famed Toronto artist Emerson Myers at work, recreating his spectacular "Firestarter" costume.

Candidate Master Joachim Hentschel won the 1990.1991 AWHPAWO Open Chess Championship with 7 1/2110, one half point ahead of fellow Pickering resi- dent Uno Wesingi. The 1990-1991 Closed and Invita- tional Championship's have just been completed with Pickering's Uno Wes- ingi capturing both tour- naments. For Wesingi, the invita- tional win was his third consecutive annual capture of the title. Wesingi romped home to victory in the dou- ble round robin tournament with 9;10 (9 wins 1 kiss) . West Hill's Colin Dale and Horst Haddrath finish- ed second and third on tiebreak with 5 F2 2 110 with Dale inflicting the sole defeat on the Estonian - born veteran. Association President Jots W. Pussa ( West Hill) finished fourth with 50%, followed by Brian L Miler (Pickering) with 3' 10 and newcomer Norbert Lee ( Pickering) with 2; 10. Wesingi's domination of the AWHPAWO Closed is more significant as this is traditionally the strongest of the four slow -play cham- pionships on the annual in- terregional circuit. It is also important in that Uno Wesingi is the first Durham player to win the Closed ti- tle; Ermanno Mucignat won the Closed five times in the 84/85, 85186, 86187, 87188 and 89190 seasons, and Zbynek Skubnik cap- tured the 88/89 tourna- ment. Wesingi won with 8110, well ahead of Lawrence Roberts (Oshawa), Er- manno Mucignat ( West Hill) and Zbynek Skubnik (Malvern), all with 5 112110. Colin Dale followed with 4110, an impressive result for the lowet seed in the tournament, and James B. Holden (Oshawa) finish- ed last with 1 1/2, playing only 50% of his games before retiring from the tournament. The tournament was plagued by dropouts but fortunately this was offset by replacements. West Hill's Colin Dale took the place of Istvan Balog ( West Hill) who dropped out due to illness; Malvern's Zbynek Skubnik, a Can- didate Master, took the place of fellow CM Joachim Hentschel (Pickering) who dropped out due to work. And to top the situation off, veteran Ermanno Mucignat was out of action for several weeks as he went into hospital to have his gall bladder removed. However, Mucignat return- ed to complete the tourna- ment schedule and scored several impressive wins. The association's pro - grains are far from ex- hausted for the season. The association has yet to schedule its counterpart Closed, Open, Invitational and Knockout tournaments at the Active -Chess (3o minutes per player per game) level. Active chess is rated separately by the Chess Federation of Canada. Anyone interested in par- ticipating in these events is invited to send a stamped, self-addressed envelope to: A.W.H.P.A.W.O.

World Twenty five years of ex- perience in refrigeration with Polaris Refrigeration Services Ltd., and a keen interest in Third World Development made Adnen Rossignol a perfect can- didate to be a Volunteer Consultant with CESO, the Canadian executive Ser- vice Organization. Rossignol has completed CESO projects in Colom- bia, Bolivia and Costa Rica assisting in the refrigera- tion area. He had been in Costa Rica early in 1990 and suggested the client come to Canada to learn more about Canadian techniques of refrigeration. "This information is not available in Costa Rica and it will be a big help in my work," reported Martin Flores of Costa Rica, who spent 2 months in Canada learning from Rossignol. "The suppliers provided me with literature on various equipment which will be of great help." Rossignol set up meetings for Flores at Highland Refrigeration, Ault Dairy, Coca Cola, Monarch Fine Foods, Con- naught Labratories, Eastern York Refrigrator Supplies and Humber Col- "In Costa Rica and Canada, Mr. Rossignol was a real friend, someone to lean on," stated a grateful Flores. One of Canada's largest international development agencies, CESO assigns Canadians who have exper- tise in business, technical and professional areas to developing countries. Known as Volunteer Con- sultants, these experts work on an upaid basis. Over the last year CESO Executives have been assigned to nearly 400 pro- jects in more than 40 coum- tries and 1,500 projects assisting Canada's aboriginal people. 3 Lead Firms Searching For Landfill Three lead firms have been hired by the Interim Waste Authority Ltd.

Metro Council News Police Services Act Oath Metro Councillor Derwin Shea moved that as Metro Council pays most of the costs of the Metro Toronto Police force and as the con- stitution requires that an oath of allegiance be made to the Queen of Canada and as the provincial govern- ment has corse up with a new oath of allegiance that Metro Council request the Provincial Standing Com- mittee on Regulations to consider that the change made by the provincial government is beyond the jurisdiction of the provin- cial government. And in addition If the committee does not consider the change in oaths for the police board unconstitu- tional that Metro Council take legal action to get the constitution enforced on the provincial government. Councillor Shea's motion was seconded by York Mayor Fergy Brown and after much discussion, council voted overwhehn- ingly in favour of the mo- tion. Councillor Shea gave a tremendous speech on behalf of his motion and ad- ded that he has a petition of 5000 names to back up his proposal. Councillor Howard Moscoe tried to get a mo- tion passed that would allow either an oath to Canada or the Queen but this resolution was defeated. North York Performing Arts Centre North York Mayor Mel Lastman gave quite a speech to Metro Council on May 22nd and asked for $2 million in 1992 and $2 million more in 1993 to assist North York finance its $50.6 million performing arts centre to be built on Yonge St. just south of the North York City Hall. A large number of coun- cillors were wary of this project because it is a private corporation out to make a profit on the new centre and they didn't feel that public monies should go to this group. Metro Chairman Alan Tonks spoke at length against giving funds to this project. The project proposes its capital funds to be as follows: $6 million from government of Canada, $12 million from Government of Ontario, $4 million from Metro government, $17 million from City of North York and $9.6 million from private fundraising, totall- ing $50.6 million. The proposed centre would be integrated into a 2 mullion square foot Ontario Hydro development and be linked to both the North York Centre and Sheppard subway stations, have ac- cess to underground park- ing for 20M vehicles and be surrounded by restaurants and shops. Construction is expected to begin in April 1991 and conclude in September 1993. North York council has approved of the project already.

Ltravel Road To The Isle PEI's Scottish Connection by Kumari Campbell This is a tale of two lands. One is land of stark highlands and coastal plains, a rugged coastline and myriad of offshore islands; the other, a tiny island, of gently rolling landscape, lush forests and a sparse population. Picture the setting: It is the late 18th century and all is not well in the Highlands of Scotland. Following the final abortive Jacobite Rebellion in 1745, Highlanders are being castigated ( for their loyal- ty to Bonnie Prince Charlie, pretender to the British throne) by having their language (Gaelic), religion (Roman Catholicism) and culture repressed. Even their traditional costume, the kilt, has been outlawed. Nearly 3000 miles away across the Atlantic Ocean, a new uncharted world beckons. Rumour has it that there is land for the asking, the waters are teeming with fish, and pro- duce roduce flourishes in abun- dance. The all-inVortant ques- tion: to stay on and endure the hardships of home, or to strike out bravely into the new and unknown, with not much more than an am- t* supply ot hope and faith? Such was the dilemma faced by the early Scottish sedleh s who answered the call of the new world and followed 'The Road to the Isle'. The First Wave On the Island of St. John, as Prince Edward Island was called before 1799, only a few small groups of French Acadian and Mic- mac Indian populated the entire landscape. British surveyor Captain Samuel Holland completed a com- prehensive survey of the entire island in 1765, and subsequently the resultant 67 lots of land were allotted to influential British politi- cians, civil servants, military officers and mer- chants in a lottery held in England. The years between 177o and 1775 marked the first of several waves of British immigration to the island. These first immigrants were Scottish Highlanders "Care For You" Club June 15 "Cherries" Tour $29 June 19 Hamilton Mace Follies $37. June 28 "Strawberries" incudes O -Hyde -House hunch S39.

The Highland Scots were a hardy people and no strangers to tireless labour and dour living conditions. Despite this fact, the land they had to contend with in their new home was far from inviting. Except for a few former French set- tlements, the land they en- countered was heavily forested and had to be cleared before it could be put to any use. The enterprising Highlanders were un- daunted, and within a mat- ter of years, they had built a thriving logging and ship- building industry in addi- tion to cattle farming, the occupation that many of them had practised in the Old Country. '!be Second Wave The next significant wave of Scottish im- migrants started arriving on Prince Edward Island in the early 1800x. This group was not as homogeneous as the fust. It was still com- prised chiefly of HighlasWers but now they wjoined by LLowwLmid � as well. The Lowland Scots were considered excellent farmers and were perfect settlers for a province that would become predominantly agrarian - As well, the immigrants of the early 19th century were no longer destitute refugees fleeing a troubled motheriard, but in fact pro- sperous members of their communities. They came to the new world out of choice, in order to make a better life for themselves and their children. According to an account of the Selkirk Settlers (the group of highlanders that Thomas Douglas, the Fifth Earl of Selkirk brought out to the island in 18031 not on- ly did most of them pay for their own passage aboard ship, but they also paid the Earl for the land that was allotted to them. It must be remembered that during the Scottish im- migrations of the late 18th and early 19th centuries, ,The Road to the Isle' was certainly rot an easy one. As did all other immigrants to the New World the island's Scottish settlers suffered their share of adversities. The six- to eight-week ocean voyages were fraught with peril. Storms were frequent, and many an immigrant ship was wrecked or lost at sea, with loss of life. Scarcity of food and potable water, seasickness, disease, cramped quarters - these were the rites of passage that all pioneers experienc- ed in that era. We know who these early Scottish settlers were, where they came from and why they came, but the question remains, why did they choose Prince Edward Fun For Anglers June 8-9 The third annual Great Heart Lake Fishing Derby is set for weekends in June. Adults compete to see who reels in the largest rainbow trout by weight. For children, top honours go to the angler who catches the most fish by weight in a day - excluding trout and bass. Registration is included with Heart Lake's regular admission fee. Rules, registration and weigh-in station are at the boathouse. A fishing licence is required. Prizes for the derby are provided by local retailers, including Heart Lake Canadian Tire, Heart Lake A&P, the Heart Lake Plaza, Video Host and Sports Unlimited in Brampton. On Sat. and Sun. June 8 and 9, Heart Lake will host a Fly Fishing and Fly Ty- ing seminar presented by the Izzak Walton Fly Fishermen's Club. Bring your own rod and learn the techniques of fly fisting and how to tie your own flies. Instruction will be available for beginner, in- termediate and advanced level fly fishermen. Flies and fly tying equip- ment will be on sale at the event. Two sessions will be held each day, beginning at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m at the Beach Building. The seminar is included with regular admission fees. Per person general ad- mission fees have replaced car parking fees at the con- servation areas. The new rates are: adults $2, seniors $1.50, children it and pre-schoolers free. Island? The truth is that most - especially those among the fust to emigrate - arrived on the island pure- ly by chance. They wanted passage to the New world. and the island happened to be available. The ".Anew" Connection Story has it that some time in the early 1770s, a stip on which a family by the name of Montgomery were passengers made a stop at the Wpeque Scot- tish settlement where Hugh Montgomery, the patriarch, planned to set- tle. Having seen the poor condition of the settlement, however, he promptly decided to continue the voyage to the ship's destination, Quebec. But unknown to him, his wife went ashore also and then refined to put to sea again. Consequently, the family did settle here, and years later, produced a descen- dant, Lucy Maud Mon- tgomery, who rose to inter- national fame by penning the novel "Anne of Green Gables". The Scottish Legacy Our ancestors may have been accidental im- migrants, but there was nothing 'chancy' about the legacy that they left for us. The Celts have always been noted for their superior musical talents - a legacy of which there is Wed.

The jigs and reels produced by the ever-present fiddle, the Highland dance, and the step dance are always at hand. The halting melodies of the bagpipes clearly recall their distant heritage. Rob- bie Burns Day is celebrated annually across the island, with the tradi- tional oatcakes and the all- important haggis being piped in by a kilt -clad bagpiper. In keeping with their romantic and imaginative nature, the Celts were ar- dent believers in the powers of the supernatural. Ghost stories and forerun- ners formed an important part of their rich oral tradi- tion handed down to form the cornerstones of the island's Celtic folklore. The Scottish people, especially the Highlanders, placed a high value on education, a value that the immigrants passed on to their progeny. As a result the descendants of these immigrants have been well placed in island society.

Names such as Stewart, Fraser, Campbell abound. along with numerous names with 'Mac' prefixes: and such lilting place names as Gowan Brae. Corran Ban, Dunstaffnage and Breadalbane give Prince Edward Island the marvellous colour of the Celtic culture.

Refreshments will be served at the conclusion of the evening. Admission is $4 and there is ample free parking available. Freedom of Expression Is Valuable •,. Page 12 THE POST Wed.
