Of Education Highlights Preliminary Report Received Trustees received a preliminary report regar- ding a review of the board's curriculum and special education functions. Pre- sent were�BeCassels and Donald King of Peat Mar- wick Stevenson & Kellogg and Mary Stager from the Faculty of Education of the University of Toronto. In January 1991, the Finance Committee ac- cepted the recommenda- tion of a sub -committee to proceed with pLins for a comprehensive audit of the transportation function and an audit research project related to the proposed reorganization of the cur- riculum and special educa- tion services. The transportation audit has now been completed and the report is in the hands of trustees for study prior to decision about its recommendations. The preliminary report on the curriculum and special education functions en- dorses the board's deter- mination to maximize benefits to both special needs and mainstream students through the most effective organization of support services. Trustees will make a decision at the next regular board meeting whether to proceed with the second phase of the research /audit project which would develop recommendations and an implementation model for amalgamation of curriculum and special education services and the definition of roles within those departments. Safety Policy Adopted Trustees adopted the pro- posed safety ply wig says that the board shall provide a safe and healthy working environmuent to provent injuries to persons and damage to property. Staff and students will be made aware of their responsibility and obliga- tion to work and function in an appropriate manner. Staff will be provided with all necessary training and the board will ensure com- pliance with all legislative requirements. Appropriate purchasing guidelines for all products also will be adopted. Information Update Received Trustees received an up- date on the proposed ac- commodation of Conlin P.S. students who will be relocated as a result of the temporary closure of their school. During routine roof repairs at the school this summer, it was discovered that problems with the roof were much worse than an- ticipated and that major work would be required to make the school safe for oc- cupancy. The estimated total cost of all necessary repairs would be in excess Of $100,000. It was decided earlier to send the Conlin students to Sunset Heights P.S. Oshawa until a decision on the repairs at their school was made. Relocation to Kedron P.S. the most natural choice, did not seem to be a possibility because it was understood that there was a restriction on the number of portables which could be placed on site. When no official restrictions were found, ap- plication to place four por- tables at Kedron P.S. was made to the City of Oshawa. The board is waiting to receive final ap- proval on this matter from the city before confirming the move with Conlin parents- Scbolambip Awarded Tema Tina Webber, a student from the Sir James Whitney School.

Roadside Garbage A Problem by Brenda Birinyi Problems related to the Brock West landfill site, were once again discussed at a Pickering committee meeting last Monday night. A disgruntled council was forced to authorize a $60,000 over -expenditure to the. Debris and utter Pick - Up account. The funds allocated to this budgeted 1991 account have already been spent. It was brought to Coun- cillor George Martin's at- tention that the funds in the account were depleted and abandoned roadside gar- bage in Pickering was no age' being picked -W. "I informed our staff that a freezer was left abandon- ed along a concession road in Cherrywood and needed to be picked -up,.' stated Martin. He was later contacted by the director of public works. informing him that the freezer and other litter could not be picked -up, as there were no more funds in the account to pay w of kers to pick-up the debris. "I don't mean to say, I told you so," lamented Councillor Brenner as he reminded council of his past attempts to resolve this dilemma. "More than a year ago I urged this council to take legal action against Metro Toronto to recoup money our tax- payers are payinIg.- Brenner failed at an at- tempt last year, to have a motion passed that would shift the financial burden of cleaning up the constant trail of roadside garbage from the taxpayer to Metro Toronto. Metro, the owners of the landfill site, increased substantially the tipping fees at the dump, resulting in people leaving their gar- bage roadside, rather than nav fees charged at the entrance, to have the waste disposed proper- ly. Both ward three coun- cillors, Martin and Johnson stressed to council members the on-going pro- blems with illegal roadside dumping which is most prevalent in their ward as the Brock West garbage dump is located there. ticonces- on road has aabbag of gar- bage along it," fretted Johnson. The $1000 reward bestow- ed to any resident that pro- vides police with illegal roadside dumping informa- tion, leading to a convic- tion, has had little success.

It was also noted by staff, in case of an emergency where one of our roads needed to be paved, now with no money left in the paving account, council would be forced to borrow money from another ac- count that had money in it. "It is like taking from Peter to pay Paul,.. quoted Councillor Brenner, remarking on the outcome of the issue.

This Space Could Be Yours For $11008111 Page 2 THE NEWS/POST Wed. September 18, 1991 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Why Not French Too? Dear Editor Re: French promotion ( Vona Mallory & Assocs. ) This is absolutely true and can be verified. If we are a bi- lingual country then both languages must be offered the same considerations and facilities to learn. The Scarborough Board of Education in its Alternative Studies Daytime Adult School programs offers only English as a second language why not French also? On enquiry I was offered three reasons for this omission namely, no funds, no demand, the Law requires that English be offered, not French. The large majority of im- migrants particularly from Hong Kong speak English but the large majority of Canadians do not speak French and I submit that that is where the emphasis should be. Other- wise a small minority of Canadians will be fluently bi 'l- ingual and the rest uni , lingual. This of course puts the bi l- ingual majority in a vastly superior and powerful position over the rest of us. This must not be allowed to continue. Yours sincerely John McMillan Scarborough We're Not Bilingual Dear Sir: The leading Toronto radio station (C.F.R.B.) is airing a eornmercial which begins with the profound statement that 'Canada is a Bilingual Country' This is a complete fabrication of the truth! Because the goverarnent legislates that government ser- vices be provided in both English and French, this does not make a 'country' bilingual. Ontario's French-speaking population is less than 5%! Does that crake Ontario bil- ingual ? And. as for Quebec. Premier Bourassa's statement (1988 ) Quote - "bilingualism is Unthinkable for Quebec" - says it all! The commercial proceeds to inform us we can learn "Fast French" to quote - "almost overnight... If this is so, what a revelation! Why are we spending millions of our tax dollars on french Immersion classes? National Dynamics, the sponsor of these commercials, should provide their secret formula to Victor Goldbioom, our new Official Languages Commissioner. Mr. Goldbloom, a Quebecer and former Cabinet Minister in Bourassa's government I incidentally, he supported Bill 22 t 1974) which was the beginning of extreme french language promotion). could send out these tapes to the thousands of Canadians I outside Quebec) who are losing. or have lost their jobs because they are not bilingual, and "almost overnight" their problems would be solved!

Hydro is seeking government approval to build genera- tion facilities that can produce an additional 1,ow megawatts of hydroelectric power from the river. The Environmental Assessment describes predicted ef- fects of the development on local communities, and on the natural environment of the area. It contains a detailed description of the proposed facilities, alternative methods of carrying out the development, and measures to limit ef- fects on the environment. It also describes the issues iden- tified by communities, government representatives and members of the public, and measures proposed by Hydro to resolve these concerns. Hydro hopes to receive approval of the proposal by late 1992. Constriction, which would take about six years, will begin when both the project environmental assessment and Hydro's 25 year Demand Supply Plan are approved.

Scarborough -Rouge River University classes have started again, but this year students are faced with new burdens that could make it dif- ficult and in sorra cases impossible for many to complete their education. The federal budget of May 1909 had signall- ed a significant retreat by the Conservative government from its commitment toward poet -secondary education. In the February budget of 1991 the freezing of transfer fronds for the Established Program Financing (for health care and post -secondary education) to the provinces was extend- ed for a further three years. And added to this increased burden on educational institutions and students, the new Goods and Senices Tax is now imposed Din all books, ser- vices and texts purchased by students. Unprecendented in Canadian history, them is now a tax on learning. Never have books, magazines or newspapers been taxed. Books are an essential part of a student's education, but they can also be one of the most expensive parts of a school year. The 7 percent tax is applied to university service fees, tutoring costs and athletic fees. Students who attend univer- sities away from their hometowns also have the added burden of paying tax on air, train and buss fares. ( Travel by train, the most popular form of transportation for students, has been made even more difficult with the cuts to Via Rail.) Students, who statistically eat out more often than the rest of the population, will be hit hard by the taxation of restaurant and prepared take-out foods. For many students, eating out is not a luxury but a necessity. Canada has one of the best education systems in the world -one that should be encouraged to grow and improve. Students represent Canada's single most important invest- ment in the future -our ability to compete and prosper. The government's increasing taxation on learning is short- sighted and demonstrates its lack of commitment to equip Canadians to compete in the world economy by freezing funds for education, training and research and develop- ment. evelopment. My office is presently circulating a petition asking the government to reaffirm the historic principles embodied in tax free statues for the printed word and reinstate the zero rate in the GST legislation and regulations. If you would like to sign this petition or circulate it, please call my con- stituencv office at 2968899. Stamp Out the Post Office Monopoly!

Regular exercise can in- crease your sex drive and ability to be aroused. in a recent fitness club survey, thirty-nine percent of women who do aerobic exercise three or more times a week reported an in- crease in desire, and 89% said exercise gave their sexual confidence a boost. The effect is more pronounced among younger women: exercise increased their self esteem which in turn enhanced their sexual confidence. Is This INteresting? The head of the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) is Jean-Claude Parrot and the Canada Post negotiator is Gilles Courville. The federal cabinet minister responsible for the Post Office is Marcel Danis. Now the mediator in the postal dispute is Quebec Judge Allan Gold. Does everyone have to be from the Province of Quebec who is involved in federal Canadian affairs?

While 92% of visible minorities are paid workers, a substantial propor- tion of Chinese, Japanese, Arab and Koreans are self- employed. in fact almost a third of all Koreans ran their own business, and most of them had paid help in 1986.

The motion picture, 'Mie Miracle of the White Stallions" and Gen. George Patton's in- volvement in saving the breed, did much to publicize and create ad- miration for the Lipizzans in the United States. The Lipizzan is the aristocrat, the royalty. and the nimble dancer of the equestrian worid. His dis- tant ancestors from the Orient bone Ghenghis Khan out of the wastes of Asia to conquer much of the then - known world The fleet Arabic strain in the Lipizran line patrolled, guarded and raided treasure -laden caravans in the sands of the Sahara. Their masters were Bedouins, Tuaregs and riders from a dozen long forgotten tribes. It is believed the forernm- ner of the actual Lipizzan was bred in Carthage, more than 2,000 years ago. The Carthaginian stock was bred with the Vilano, a sturdy Pyranees horse, and with Arab and Barbary strains. The result became the fabled horse of ancient Spain, the Andalusian. During Spain's 700 years of Moorish domination, the breed remained essentially the same. Occasional crossing with fresh Arab and Oriental blood, by the breeders of Cordoba and Granada, assured that the fleetness and agility so prized by the Arabs re- mained qualities inherent in the stock. The Spanish began to ex- port the horses after Moorish rule ended. The most notable stud farms "reestablished in Italy and Denmark. The Italian "Neapolitan" blood line became famous in Europe. Archduke Maximilian, who became Emperor of Austria, began breeding Spanish horses there in about 1562. Eighteen years later. Archduke Karl, ruler of four Austrian provinces, established a royal stud farm in L4)izza ( now in Yugoslavia) near Trieste, Italy. It was rugged coun- try, but the Upizzafs thriv- ed in it and became famous for their endurance, strength and speed. Upumans became almost exclusively the property of nobility and military aristocracy. The stallions were trained for battle. Their great leaps (caprioles) struck fear into the hurts of foot soldiers. The gentle, white mares became the coach horses of the elite. Fresh Spanish stock was systematically added to the line at intervals to main- tain the strength of the breed. Oriental stallions were also occasionally us- ed. In the 17th and 18th cen- turies, horses from the nor- thern Italy stud farm at Polesina were brought to Lipizza to breed with the resident stock and descen- dants of the original Spanish line (out of Den- mark and Germany) . The Lipizzans were evacuated several times for protection during wars. Three hundred Lipizzans made a 40 -day march to Stuhlweissenburg during the Napoleonic war in 1781, and returned when peace was restored. They were moved again in 18M and 1806 only to return and flee the advancing French ar- mies. From 1809 to 1815, they lived in the lowlands of the Tisza River, a tributary of the Danube. In 1915, the Lipizzanks were split. One group went to Laxenburg, near Vienna, and the other to Kladrub. The fall of the Austrian House of Hapsburg, in 1918, brought about the breakup of the Austrian empire. Lipizza became a part of Italy and the Italian and Austrian governments divided the lipizzan herd. The Republic of Austria took their horses to Piber, a privately -owned stud farm which had been founded in 1798 to breed cavalry mounts. It changed to a government breeding farm in 1858. Although the Royal Upizzan Stallion Show is not affiliated with the Spanish Riding School, a number of horses appear- ing in the show were born at Piber Stud Farm. In 1942. marry Lipizzan mares were sent for safekeeping to Czechoslovakia, where they fell into German hands. In 1945. Russian troops were rapidly ap- proaching the farts, and it was feared the animals would be destroyed in the war. In 1945, the stallions, housed in the Spanish Riding School at Vienna, were also threatened. The director of the School, Col. Alois Podhajsky, arranged for the stallions to be transferred by train 200 miles to St. Martin's in up- per Austria. The separa- tion of mares and studs could have meant the end of the Lipizzan line. Patton and the U.S. Ar- my moved into St. Martin's shortly thereafter. Patton and the Under Secretary of War, Robert Patterson, met with Podhajsky and surveyed the stallions. They were so impressed by the magnificent horses that Patton agreed to make the stallions wards of the U.S. Army until the horses could be safely returned to Vien- na. Meanwhile, American troops discovered the mares and foals in German hands in Hostau, Czechoslovakia, which were being cared for by allied prisoners of war. Col. Charles Reed, heading the 42nd Squadron, 2nd Cavalry, requested Patton's permission to at- tack Hostau and liberate Wed.

(Photo - David Wong) Metro Considering $41,000 For New Waste Reduction An education project to promote reusable sanitary products for women, a monthly environmental m,wsletter in Portuguese, a waste reduction whop for social service agencies and a rap song on waste management are just some of the innovative waste reduction projects to be awarded funding under the Community Action Waste Reduction Grants Pro- AAttotal of 13 community- based projects amounting to $41.128. in funding have been approved by Metropolitan Works Com- mittee. The Community Action Waste Reduction Grants Program encourages residents to come up with innovative ideas to reduce waste or to educate the community about the 3Rs and then provides grants to help them to implement the ideas. Even groups who do not have experience with waste reduction projects may apply for funding. Staff assistance is available for developing a waste reduction proposal. The program's goal is to provide all types of non- profit groups with an op- portunity to help their com- munities reduce waste. Community-based groups eligible for funding include church groups, ethnic associations, service clubs, youth groups, ratepayers' associations, parent -teacher associa- tions and other non-profit organizations. Recently, these groups have been able to apply for a max- imum of $2,000 to cover the capital and operating costs of their projects. However, Works Com- mittee abo approved a change in the funding criteria allowing applica- tions of up to $5.000. Larger non-profit organizations with proven community ex - Harbour Commission Offers To Assist Ataratiri The Toronto Harbour Commission has announc- ed that it has offered to spend up to $150,000 to clean some 350 tonnes of contaminated soil from the City of Toronto's Ataratiri Housing Project. "This does not mean that the commission will be cleaning all of the Ataratiri lands," said Councillor Betty Disero, Vice - Chairman of the THC. "This project is only a test to determine if this soil can be cleaned economically." She said it is the commis- sion's intention to treat a sample of contaminated Ataratiri soil through its Soil Recycling Demonstra- tion Project which is ex- pected to come on stream early in October. Dennis Lang, Director of Engineering for the Toron- to Harbour Commission who is in charge of the com- mission's soils recycling demonstration project, said the Ataratiri soil has virtually the same con- taminants and characteristics as that in the Port Industrial District. "We want to determine whether our soil cleaning technology can work for the Ataratiri soil," he said. it was only this past July that the THC was given the green light by the City of Toronto and Ontario's Ministry of the Environ- ment to go ahead with its state-of-the-art facility on a location immediately east of Cherry St. on the Texaco refinery site. Mr. Iang said he had ap- proached Ross Winter, Manager of the City of Toronto's Ataratiri Hous- ing Project and let him know that the commission was willing to do the sam- ple soil cleaning as a public service to the city. Councillor Disero pointed out that the THC has always attempted to pro- vide service to the city whenever such service was needed and was within the Commission's capability. The technologies involv- ed are three -fold, the first being soil washing, follow- ed by metals extraction and then by biological treatment to remove organic contaminants. All of the cleaned soil will be suitable for reuse and the contaminants removed from the soil can be recycl- ed. The $150,000 required to clean the 350 tonnes of con- taminated Ataratiri soil would be funded by the Toronto Harbour Commis- sion. Drive Safely perience may apply for up to $20,000. Under the new criteria, some organiza- tions may also use up to 15 percent of their funding to cover administrative casts. Interested applicants are invited to submit their pro- posals to the Metropolitan Toronto Works Depart- ment, Community Action Waste Reduction Grants Program, 20th floor, 439 University Avenue, Toron- to, Ontario, M5G 1Y8, or call 392-3753 for more infor- mation and an application. All appl ications will be con- sidered oo-sidered and judged on their individual merit. Wed.

September 18, 1991 Bill Watt's Worlds PROLOGUE: The ladies of the theatre are very much in current evidence locally. Regret- tably, we have been unable to consort with them all on an immediate basis. We have had to miss opening nights for the Three Sisters of Chekhov and the infamous Madame de Merteuil of Les liaisons Dangereuses. Those ladies are being presented in rep by Equity Showcase Theatre at Factory Theatre until Sept. 29th. It's our hope to attend future performances. Please consider that to be our recommendation. However, we were able to renew acquaintance with Hagar Shipley and Countess Maritza. ACT ONE: Hagar Shipley is, of course, the heroine of Margaret Laurence's best selling book, The Stone Angel. She has now found her way to the stage in an interesting adaptation written by James W. Nichol and presented by Th6atre Passe Muraille at its MainSpace ( 16 Ryerson Ave.) We suspect and suggest that one's enjoyment of this production is dependent upon whether or not one has read the book. Playwright Nichol has stated, "In the end, the adaptation has to be taken as a work in its own right and one can only hope that the original inspiration, which in this case is the great spirit of Margaret Laurence, shines through. "It doesn't, for one who has read, enjoyed, even loved The Stone Angel. Miss Laurence's vision and creation of Hagar Shipley is not, for us, re- created in the play. Hagar, as are all of us, is a com- plex creature but her chief attribute is strength of character; self centred. sprung from Scottish blood and shaped misshapen by a mean spirited though well intended and more or less typical dour Scottish father.

As well, the character of Hagar Shipley is not well served by this particular production which is replete/plethoric with fan- cy/wancy lighting, sound effects, Howe of Usher music, dry ice vapour ef- fects and even, out of focus full frontal nudity. Yep! Does the fault lie with the playwright or with direc- tor, Brian Richmond? We are not privy to the notes of the former and so must assess responsibility to the latter for transforming a well crafted, sometimes glaucous work into a sup- posed artistic flight remindful of Dali and Picasso at their deliberate best attempting to transform Rembrandt. It's difficult to comment upon the performances because, in the main, they are all fine bort not in keep- ing with one's personal idea -an admittedly pre- conceived one -of how the principal characters should be played and' or portrayed - Barbara C ilcott is simp- ly splendid as Hagar. She is regal, imperious and de- fiant but somehow. hasn't captured the earthiness of the character. Thomas Hauff is crass enough as the husband she marries against the wishes of her father but Alan Williams as that father rather reminds one of the comedian Charley Finley who ap- peared in so many of the old Laurel and Hardy com- edies. It seemed to us that the one character accurately recreated on stage was that of Hagar's elder son, Mar- vin.

Poor souls; poor souls who can- not be refreshed by fine, light music. delightfully meaningless plots and reminders of times and places that probably ex- isted for only a privileged few but are now vouchsaf- ed for the modest cost of a theatre ticket. We will not unfold the plot of Countess Maritza. Lovers of operetta know it anyway and those who don't should not have their pleasure of discovery diminished in even the smallest way. Let it suffice that this T.O.T. production of Imre Kalman's work is a sugar- coated delight as it should be. One of the many things we admire and appreciate about T.O.T. is its ap- proach to its raison d'etre. A fine restaurant begins with an excellent kitchen. D6cor comes next. A fine theatre company begins with the best of artists; scenery and costuming come later. This theatre group has a fine cadre of artists and, if the settings and costuming are not on a par with say, Phantom of the Opera, who really cares? It is the presentation of the music that matters most and this company does not fail in its task. More than excellence of talent, however, there is another and more intangi- ble something that makes an evening with it a palpable joy. That something can probably and hopefully best be described as affection. The company is obviously in love with what it does. And, it shows. Now, lest the impression has been given that the physical production values are less than they should national Motorcycle Show which has run successfully for 15 years now.

Heck, our first appearance in a musical was in a Shubert's production of The Student Prince. Gaudeamus igitur. Artistic Director Guiller- mo Silva -Marin is the hero and his fine tenor voice is almost quintessentially that of light opera heroes. He is a handsome man and he and the leading Indy make a most delightful couple both singing and dancing. The title role is played by Costen Gregory and she is, she is .. well. damhme she is Countess Maritza: Bright, charming, capable of temper. She sings too and quite delightfully but we'd enjoy simply looking at her, whether she is dressed in ball gown or peasant frock. Monica Zerbe is a splen- didly semi -savage gypsy. She is dark, brooding and sensual but never menac- ing. By now, you'll have guessed that we have fallen in love with her superb mezzo-soprano voice, too. Comedy abounds in Countess Maritza. Peter Wylde is classic and well - aged ham while David Walden is every pompous ass one has ever en- countered except that he sings well, too. Surprise comic hits of the evening, however, are Suzanne Kompass and Blaine Hendsbee. She is a beauty of vulpine cast; he looks all corn pone and fresh air. Together they are funny and, you've guessed it, sing well. They dance, too, and their Let's Go to Varasdin well deserves its reprise. Regrettably all cast members can't be mention- ed though all deserve to be. Would like to mention, however, Linda Third. Her's is a smallish role and Yet she commands atten- tion whenever on stage. Keep your eye on this Young lady for future star- dom. Victor FeldbrW conducts the pit orchestra with verve and if the lush sound sometimes seems to over- power some of the singers, the fault, if any, lies with the lyrics. We insist that English isn't always the best of languages for opera or operetta. T.O.T.'s next full produc- tion will be Weiner Blut. We await it with ill conceal- ed impatience. BILLY D.

FOOT NOTE: It was a recent pleasure to attend the National Ballet of Canada's arcual meeting. No, we're not go- ing to report an its difficult financial situation. Numbers have never held much meaning for us. We have to take our shoes off to count over ten. ( And, still shudder at the recollection of the man who barely escaped a conviction for in- decent exposure when be tried to count over twenty.) What we wish to mention here is the feeling we car- ried away from the meeting; the feeling of in- victus. The N.B.O.C. might indeed be, as Mr. Bush aright say, in deep doo doo financially but its op- timism is that of a com- pany that knows its worth and knows, too, that it will survive. It will, some day, get the permanent home it re- quires and deserves and it will continue to command world -world! -respect. What a pity it is that here in Canada we've come to take it for granted. The harsh fact is that we don't deserve such a fine com- pany. Our ridiculous political figures -we call them that because there are no leaders -should realize that it's not charity to assist the arts. Even if it were, charity begins at home.

This is his home track and he always manages to get it together by the end of the weekend. " But for Canadian Fellows, one of only three in the fifty lap Trans -Am feature, it did not quite work out that way. Ron did manage to qualify his AER/ MacKenzie/ Ford Mustang in fifth starting position, but blew the engine in practice. Since all cars must start the race using the same engine and the tires with which they qualified, replacing his Mustang's motor meant that he had to start at the back of the 25 car field. Meanwhile Sharp, 23, qualified his Duracel i Chevy Camaro on the pole position with a sizzling lap of 1:20.346 around the 2459 mile, ten - corner road -racing circuit for an average speed of 110.17 mph. ( The qualifying record came close to being broken by the East Nor- walk, CT driver, but the record for Tracor -Am cars remains at 1:19.159. ) And when the green nag was waved it was Sharp who toot the lead and kept it for the fust 2D laps, chas- ed by the Camaro of Les Lindley of Anaheim, CA and fellow Californian Greg Pickett in yet another Camaro. ( The Mosport course, because of its long back straight, favours the VS engined Chevys over the Vg's.) During those laps Ron Fellows took his car up to ninth spot, and then Sharp intentionally fell off the pace to save his engine and tires, allowing Lindley to take the lead. But pit -stops soon meant that drivers had to leave the contest for fire -changes, and Sharp regained the lead on lap thirty-five and remained there for the win. and the Olds Cutlass of Los Gatos, CA's Darin Brassfield took third. Fellows' Mustang finished a well-earned fifth. con- sidering his starting posi- tion, following fourth - placed Paul Gentilozzi of Lansing, MI. Even after 50 laps (123 miles) of racing Sharp's margin of victory was only 1.87 seconds. With three races yet to be run in the Trans -Am series this year, Sharp now has 276 points and five wins compared to team-mate Jack Baldwin's 229 points ( and no wins) . Chevrolets have won six times so far, Oldsmobiles five and Fords none at all. In the Export "A" Inc. Formula 2000, 20 lap sup- porting race, it was the Ex- port "A" sponsored car of St. Hilaire, PQ's Jeff Girard who took the win, ahead of Stephane Proulx on his Sony of Canada machine who placed se- cond. During most of the race Prou Ix was being dogged by the other Export A" sponsored car of Toronto's Craig Priddle, but Priddle's engine blew on lap 17, allowing Clear- water, F1's David Webb to take third.

Vining came in second behind Robert Boyer, and ahead of Denis Baillargeon, Robert's brother Normand and Mark Craig - Craig pressed for the lead most of the race and drove superbly, but it was difficult to get to the top when there were two brothers using team tactics to block him. In the Becker's Challenge fifteen -lap race for Formula 16W's and Formula 1200's. the former took the top four places, as expected Winning it was the F1600 Van Dieman of Providence, RI's Wonduk Han, followed borne by the Swift of Bolton's Don Vallance. Tops in the F1200 class was Niagara Falls' Jay Mason. Trailing Mason home were Brooklin, Ont's Scott Primo, rookie Craig Lepinsky of Toronto and potential Becker's F1W0 champion Paulo Dal Cin of Downsview. Both Mason's and Dal G'in's cars were damaged in a last -lap crunch but each managed to finish. The Player's Ltd/GM race saw plenty of action, with Shannonville's Richard Spenard taking it but not without a race -long battle with Burlington's Kenny Wilden, who came in second. Spenard's part- ner David Empru gham of Willowdale took third, followed in by Uxbridge's Doug Beatty. Caledonia, Out's John Cadman, Jr. had the pole position for this race, but it seemed that all of the top - four placed drivers were leaning their Camaros on his, especially down the pit - straight. Cadman managed to hang on for fifth. Earlier in the weekend the Firestone Firehawk drivers had a sixty-three lap endurance race. Of the fifty cars entered it was the Porsche 944 S2 of Doug Griesback and David Ten- nyson which won it, with the Chevrolet Camaro of David Empringham and Vidor Sifton placing se- HoHowever, post -race in- spection of the Porsche revealed illegal prepara- tion of internal engine part and because of that the car of Gries; back, Tennyson was excluded from the results, giving the win to the Camaro.

Disabled Youngsters In Sports More than 6o disabled children from across On- tario. Quebec and the Maritimes went to London on Aug- 31st and Sept. 1st to compete in the second an- nual Ontario Tri -Chapter Games for the Disabled. The Games, wbich are specifically designed to meet the needs of blind and wheelchair participants, are sponsored by Northern Telecom and The Telephone Pioneers of America. "We want to give disabl- ed children the same op- portunity to participate as other youngsters," says Tom Hennebury, vice- president of human resources at Northern Telecom and a Telephone Pioneer of long standing. "Everyone who attended the Games last year was deeply moved by the sheer joy these children ex- perienced." According to Hennetxuy, Telephone Pioneers came away from the 1990 Games with an even stronger com- mitment to making the On- tario Tri -Chapter Games an annual event that, for many children, will be their one and only chance to compete with their peers. At a recent planning ses- sion, Telephone Pioneers exchanged stories about "their children" and how these Games touched them on a personal level.

Another Telephone Pioneer spoke of Carol, 16, who, when she first arrived at the Games, was too shy to even give the volunteers her name. Carol had recently lost her sight and was very resentful about her disability. But, by the end of the fust day of the competitions, when it came time for athletes to par- ticipate in the entertain- ment segment, guess who was the fust child up on the stage? The Telephone Pioneers of America is the world's largest voluntary associa- tion of employees, with 800,000 members across North America, 60,000 of whom reside in Canada. The association's main directive is to help those in It's the efforts of more than 400 Telephone Pioneers that are waking the Ontario Tri -Chapter Games a reality. This year, volunteers erected a per- manent structure to ensure the safety and comfort of the children at the Games. The Telepbone Pioneer Pavilion, measuring 50 ft. by 150 ft.. has been a massive undertaking for the volunteers both in terms of time and fundrais- ing efforts. The cost of the pavilion came in at 596,000. Participants competed in a wide variety of events that included the 40 -yard and slalom races, team relays, basketball and soft- ball throws, and laser gun target shooting. One of the more extraordinary con- tests involved blind athletes competing in a game of softball with the help of "beeping" balls and bases.

Paul Dick, Minister of Supply and Ser- vices and Minister respon- sible for the Royal Cana- dian Mint announced on Jan. 31st, that the Mint will organize and conduct an open design competition to solicit designs for a special coin program to mark the 125th anniversary of Cana- dian Confederation in 1992.

You'll find them visiting seniors, feeding the poor or organizing a hockey tour- nament for disabled youth. They work in relative obscurity, with little reward or renown. Yet this year's recipients of the Ontario Medal for Good Citizenship have touched the lives of thousands, and through their commitment and car- ing, have had an im- measurable impact on their communities.

Centennial Grads Fast Track Degree A new agreement with D'Youville College in Buf- falo, New York, will enable Centennial nursing diploma graduates to earn a degree. It's the latest example of new partnerships which allow college diploma graduates to earn a univer- sity degree in only a few ex- tra semesters. The linking of college and university programs is known as ar- ticulation, and it's the hot- test trend in education to- day - "It's a high quality pro- gram, approved by the Na- tional League of Nursing in the U.S..- says Bev Casswell, dean of Centen- nial's School of Health Sciences. "The program is strongly based in nursing theory. and D'Youville hires only doctorate facul- ty.** she says. The program will appeal to wonting nurses, because it is offered part-time and there is a lot of flexibility build -in. "Travelling to Buffalo on Thursdays, staying in residence, and taking courses all day Fri- day allows you to earn the degree in only three semesters,.. says Casswell. D'Youville also offers a combined bacalaureate and masters part-time pro - ,gram. Centennial graduates consistently rank at or near the top of province -wide testing of registered nurses, making the college a fitting partner with a degree -granting institu- tion. says Casswell.

With the POWERSHIFT rate, the price for electricity will vary with the time of day or week. You can now choose the most economical time of day to consume electricity for discretionary use. What does this mean? Our POWERSH I FT rate will give you more control over your energy costs. For example, by doing most of your laundry on the weekend, you can save money on your hydro bill. This is similar to the different rates charged for long distance phone calls at different times of the day. You'll also help us make Toronto Hydro more efficient by shifting electric- ity consumption to times of the day when electricity demand is lower. Interested in leading the way into the future with our new PMiERSHIFT rate? You have the opportunity to be among the first to take. advantage of the new rate ,through a pilot project. �' f Is your meter outside your home or in a location where our meter readers have easy access? \ -.4# If your answer is yes or you require further information please call our Energy'Services at: , 599-0180 `t gram in order that the maximum number of Canadians have access to a unique souvenir of this an- niversary. During his remarks Mr. Dick spoke of the ap- propriateness of a coin pro- gram on this occasion. "Throughout history coins have commemorated im- portant events in the history of nations. Many of us can recall the tremen- dous public enthusiasm toward the centennial coins in 1967 and the special 25 cent piece for the RCMP in 1973. Today as we bear in mind the process now underway to redefilne our confederation, the significance and ap- propriateness of a coin pro- gram are very obvious in- deed. - The sequence or order in which the 12 twenty-five cent coins will be issued was determined at the end of the announcement by a draw. The Secretary of State, the Hon. Gerry Weiner, and two local students aspiring to be ar- tists, Miss Anne -Marie Brynes of 1'bcole Saint -Pie X in Gatineau and Mr. Marco Deyasi of St. Paul's High School in Nepean, Minister Dick in making the draw. In introducing the students, Mr. Dick em- phasized the Canada 125's focus on Canada's youth. "I am delighted that Anne - Marie and Marco could join us here today as one of Canada's developing ar- tists and graphic designers." The par- ticipants then drew the names of the provinces and territories. All Cana- dians are eligible to submit designs for the coins - a maximum of three in the provincial I territorial category and no more than one for the Canada coin category. However, the designs had to be received by the Mint no later than 15 March 1991. The traditional designs of the caribou on the 25 cent and the loon on the one dollar will be used in the regular collector sets in 1992. The loon design on the one dollar coin will also be struck for circulation pur- poses to meet demand from 1 January to 30 June 1992. Mother change in the cir- culation coinage for 1992 will see all denominations bear the inscription c1867-1992". In 1993, all cir- ulation coins will revert to their current design motifs.

Oct. 5 at the Marine Musetim, Ex- hibition Place, from 12 to 4:30 p.m. Festivities will include an offical ceremony and cake -cutting hosted by Brigadier General John A. McGinnis, managing direc- tor of the Toronto Historical Board from 1960 to 1984. Also included will be con- ducted tours of the Marine Museum focusing on its former role as the 1841 Of- ficers' Quarters, a history of the New Fort presented by Carl Benn, Toronto Historical Board Curator of Marine and Military History, military drill demonstrations performed in 18th and 19th century costume by the Museum of Applied Military History and a flag -raising ceremony by The Royal Canadian Regiment, the Royal Canadian Dragoons and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Displays featuring artifacts and ar- chival photos showing Stanley Barracks as it was in the 18th and 19th century will be presented by the Toronto Historical Board, The Royal Canadian Regi- ment, The Royal Canadian Dragoons, Royal Canadian Mounted Police and the Canadian National Exhibi- tion Archives. Originally known as the "New Fort", Stanley Bar- racks was a British military establishment built in 1840-41 to accom- modate soldiers sent from Britain to Canada during a period of political unrest. It was composed of seven main buildings and a parade square. The New ort was handed over to Canada in 1570 following the British withdrawal and renamed Stanley Barracks in 1893 in honour of Lord Stanley of Preston - Gover- nor General of Canada from 1888 to 1893. Canadian troops, in- cluding The Royal Cana- dian Regiment (1883-1939) and The Royal Canadian Dragoons (ISM -119W) oc- cupied the barracks until 1947. Stanley Barracks was also one of the first recruiting posts for the Northwest Mounted Police formed in 1973. Automobile Costs Drive Canadians To Go South The cost of owning and operating a car has climb- ed to about $575 a month - up from $556 this time last year, according to the Canadian Automobile Association (CAA), which today released its CAA "Car Costs 1991-1992" The CAA Car Costs report is based on figures provided by Runzheimer International, a manage- ment consulting firm that provides service to ac- curately measure costs of transportation, taxes, meals, goods and services, lodging and housutg. Car Cost data reveals that it now costs the Cana- dian motorist an average of $6,891 per year or $574.25 per month to operate his or her automobile. In fact, the only motorists who can ex- pect to pay less than $500 a month are those who own subcompact cars and live in a low-cost province like Alberta, where the average cost per month is $493.33. CAA Car Costs for 1991-1992 are based on a 1991 Ford Tempo GL with a 2.3 litre, 4 cylinder engine which is driven 24,000 kms. per year. The four door sedan is equipped with standard and optional ac- cessories including AM -FM stereo, automatic transmission, power steer- ing, power disc brakes, rear window defogger, an engine block heater and heavy duty battery. � NOVA TRAVEL LTD.

IWA Begins Landfill Site Search Process The release of the in- terim Waste Authority's (IWA) Draft Approach and Criteria ( DAC) documents marks the beginning of the proposed process to search for. select and establish long-term landfill sites for Greater Toronto Area gar- bage- "Ibe IWA is the first agency to document the proposed site search pro- cess and ask for public comment before undertak- ing the site search," said Ery McIntyre, General Manager, IWA. "These documents represent an opportunity for the public to participate in the actual design of the process, which will be used to choose the landfill sites." These DACs will not be complete until public com- ments and concerns have been considered. The public review period will last until mid-October 1991. The documents open for discussion several con- troversial issues that have been raised in other landfill site searches. These issues include participant fun- ding, impact management measures and equity. The DAC document for each of the three site search areas has about 30 pages of suggested criteria dealing with such things as agriculture, biology, geology, hydrogeology, land use and social issues. After input from the public, the criteria will be used to identify candidate areas and a long list of candidate sites. These lists are ex- pected to be announced in November 1991. Additional refinement of the criteria using public in- put will result in a short list of sites which are expected to be announced in February 1992, with the preferred sites released in August 1992. Documenta- tion under the En- vironmental Protection Act and Environmental Assess- ment Act will be completed for submission to the Ministry of the Environ- ment and the public for review in March 19903. Thee will be a subse- quent hearing before a Joint Board order the Con- solidated Hearings Act. The expected start up of the landfill sites is early 1996. To help the public in understanding and com- menting on the DACs and the landfill sites selection process, the IWA is holding 27 open houses and 9 workshops from mid- August to the end of September in the Regional Municipalities of Peel, Durham and York; Metropolitan Toron- to. Public Information Of- fices have been established for the three search areas. Information officers can provide updates and answer questions about the process.
