Program Services Review
Presented
Beth Cassells and Don
King of the firm Peat Mar-
wick Stevenson & Kellogg
and Michael Fullan and
Mary Stager of the Univer-
sity of Toronto attended the
meeting for the presenta-
tion of the Program Ser-
vices Review. Beth
Cassells and Michael
Fullan outlined for trustees
the review of the delivery
of Program Services within
the Durham Board of
Education which has been
conducted over the peg
several mores.
A senior liaison group
worked with the consulting
team throughout the pro-
ject. The views and
perspectives of key
stakeholders were review-
ed through a collaborative
relationship with the Work-
ing Task Force, which
helped develop the discus-
sion guide for collecting in-
put from twelve represen-
tative schools selected for
inclusion in the fact-
finding.
The resulting project
report offers suggestions
for improving the im-
plementation of program
and special education ser-
vices for Durham students.
It makes recommendations
for the two departments to
work together in a three -
tiered structure ( central
area/ school) which would
provide easy access to and
greater flexibility of ser-
vices. The report calls for
no increase in the present
staff complement;
however, some resource
staff would move from the
current central level to
area or school levels in
order to implement the
reorganization for more ef-
fective delivery of ser-
vices.
The Program Services
Review Report was refer-
red to an Ad Hoc Commit-
tee consisting of the Board
Chairman, the Director,
three Superintendents of
Education, and the
Chairmen of the Employee
Relations, Program and
Curriculum and the Special
Education Advisory Com-
mittees. This committee
will report back to the full
board by Marcell 199¢ with
its recommendations for
implementation of the

Helping Our Economy
by Bob Watson
It seems very unfortunate that employees who are
employed by public bodies and protected by unions cannot
see the necessity of each worker cutting his or her normal
request for more money. With costs of living and taxes ris-
ing in this recessionary time it would be nice if each Cana-
dian would take the same pay as last year.
We know that this is not easy to do but our country is
floundering downwards and politicians seem incapable of
handling the problem successfully.
Many workers in our society are fighting the problem of
lack of income but most don't have the security and income
of people such as teachers, firefighters, police and civil ser-
vants. Our country's future success may well rest on the
shoulders of these large groups of publicly paid workers ac-
cepting no increase for one year.
This could be one of the many solutions which could aid
our society to recover and succeed in the future. It is asking
for a contribution to our country. We hope these workers
can see their way clear.
And we would like to see politicians and high level ex-
ecutives also accept a reduction in their incorne, not only to
help the country's economy but also give all of us an exam-
ple to follow

Local MPP Responds To
Ontario's Fiscal Outlook
Loral NDP MPP Steve Owens has praise for the govern-
ment's conurntment to restructuring the economy to get
people in Scarborough Centre and across the province back
to work.
"We must look for new ways to adapt to the changing
economic climate." said Mr. Owens, responding to the
Premer's television address and the Treasurer's fiscal
outlook. released Tuesday. "For the first time since 1945,
revenues have fallen and are expected to fall again next
year. That means Ontario could be faced with a $5 billion
shortfall. That also means we have to work together to find
creative and innovative ways to better manage costs and to
preserve jobs and services."
The Scarborough Centre MPP and Parliamentary Assis-
tant to the Minister of Financial Institutions stressed that
government "can't turn the economy around alone. "
-People need to know what's going on in the province to
understand the tough choices we are all facing." he said.
"The economy is going to get better, but we have to work
together - in partnership. "
Mr. Owens stressed that partnerships must be forged bet-
ween all sectors - "between all levels of governments,
employees and employer's, community groups and govern-
ment...
Although transfer payments to hospitals, colleges and
universities, schools and municipalities will be capped at
one per cent this year and two per cent in 92-93, Mr. Owens
pointed out that the province has budgeted $160 million to
assist 'bur partners with the restructuring and reform they

ONTARIO PC LEADER Mike Harris Business Report
Business Sin Tax
A new development in business -government relations has
started to surface in Ontario. Several aspects of business
are now being targeted for tax revenue, creating what
could be called a business "sin tax".
Ignoring a recently deregulated trucking market, the
NDP have decided to increase diesel fuel tax by over 3096.
The present tax of 10.9 cents a litre was increased 1.7 cents
on April 29, and will increase another 1.7 cents on Jan. 1,
1992. After these increases, Ontario will have the third
highest sales tax rate on diesel fuel in North America
behind Nova Scotia and Newfoundland. The Rae govern-
ment fails to understand that low cost, efficient transporta-
tion is basic to Ontario's competitive position.
Not only has diesel fuel witnessed a 3.4 cent a litre in-
crease, but regular fuel has as well. Business that depends
on transportation to service their clients needs must now
absorb the increased cast of fuel, or increase their prices.
Both choices have serious implications on the ability of
business to compete, and matte a profit.
For those firms that must travel an extended distance to
service a client, the fuel tax becomes another barrier to do-
ing business. The government is penalizing any business
that tries to generate revenue outside of short driving
distances. The NDP government shows a basic
misunderstanding of what business conditions are
necessary to promote a healthy economy.
Gas Guzzler Is Merely A Revenue Generator...
Although touted as a measure encouraging fuel conserva-
tion, the gas -guzzler tax is simply another way for the NDP
to take money from consumers. Both the motor vehicle in-
dustry, and the petroletun industry have suggested the
answer to fuel efficiency lies in improved regulation (i.e.
emission control standards) and improved technology, not
pprializing drivers. Is driving to become a sin?
Tourism Also Becomes A Sin...
Tourism is second to the transportation industry in
economic importance. Yet. it has become a target of the
Rae government. Ontario is quickly gaining a reputation as
an expensive area to visit. Tourists from the USA have been
declining in recent years, and much of the blame can be
placed on the expense. Introduction of the GST as a
separate tax. increased payroll taxes, increased municipal
taus and the fuel Is all combine to drive up prices and
drive away tourists.
A Further Attack On Successful Small -Business
Effective Jan. 1, ISM a surtax has been placed on
private corporations claiming the On-
tario small business deduction where the corporation's tax-
able income exceeds $200.000. The surtax will be equal to
the lesser of:
- 3.7 per cent of taxable income above $x00,000: and
- the small business deduction claimed.
This change will eliminate the small business deduction
tar taxable incomes over (600,000.
It is apparent from the change that the NDP view pro-
fitable small business corporations as an easy target for tar
revenue. With constant pressures of overhead, taws and
other regulations being proposed by the Rae government.
the barriers to operating a small business are mounting.
This surtax is another disincentive helping to discourage
entrepreneurship, small business and job creation in the
wo%ince of Ontario.
Mounting Debt. Taxation And Regulation Com-
bine To Threaten Foreign Investment
International investment is key to the Canadian
economy. Foreign money operates 55 per cent of Canada's
manufacturing base. Lately. however, the rest of the world
bas begun to think Canada has a competitive problem. The
World Economic Forum, which provides an international
ranking of country competitiveness, dropped Canada a
notch between 190 and 1990. The taxes resulting from On-
tario's 13.4 per cent rise in government spending in the
April budget are expected to further downgrade our rank-
ing. Already, the budget has sent shock waves through the
financial community. This past spring Moody's, the
American bond rating agency cut in the province's credit
rating from Triple A to Double A2. This two point
downgrade dropped Ontario's rating from the best in the
cou=ntry to a ranking lower than Alberta's and British Col-
umubia's. From 1990 to 1995, Ontario's accomulated debt will
double. Public debt interest is at $5 billion. It will likely be
$10 billion by 1995. Financing the increase will cost us dear-
ly. For example, if it was to come from the retail sales tax,
consumers in this province would be paying 13%.
Instead of reducing spending, the NDP is expected to in-
crease taxes. The future burden of business and personal
taxation resulting from a free spending government will
further erode Ontario's competitive position. Foreign
capital considering Ontario as a place to invest is already
highly discouraged due to continued high taxation and large
budgetary deficits.

Private sector investment will further weaken as a result
of the NDP fiscal mismanagement. The financing needed to
pay for increased spending has forced Ontario to generate
over $10.5 billion by floating government bonds and other
securities. Those government securities will compete with
private sector investment instruments including stocks and
bonds, damaging investment and job creation in the private
sector.
Not only is Ontario gaining a reputation as a highly taxed
jurisdiction, but it is fast becoming the most highly
regulated market in North America. The NDP government
is proposing several pieces of legislation restricting the
freedom of business to operate in the intensely competitive
world marketplace. The radical labour agenda of the Rae
government further serves to weaken Ontario's position as
an attractive area to invest.
Our Initiatives
We believe the only way to create jobs in Ontario and en -
sum the long term competitiveness of our province is to curt
taxes and [educe government spending. Over the past few
years we have advanced a range of measures that, if
adopted, would ensure the government secures a more
disciplined fiscal policy. These are outlined below. The year
in which they were proposed is shown in brackets.
- A government wide review of all expenditures to deter-
mine where spending could be cut (1988) .
- The adoption of a policy whereby government would hold
the increase in spending below the rate of growth in
revenue (1988) .
- A freeze on direct operating expenditures pending the
completion of the expenditure review (1988) .
- The allocation of all in -year revenue windfalls to deficit
reduction (198B).
- An audit of all tax expenditures, the elimination of all non-
productive tax expenditures and the sunsetting of all future
tax expenditure measures (1989) .
- A tax freeze (19e9) .
- The preparation and publication of an analysis of the cast
and affordability of the Social Assistance Review Commit-
tee (SARC) proposals (19M).
- A balanced budget (1990) .
- No increase in the net tax burden on Ontario residents
(1990.
- The financing of priority programs and any new initiatives
through the reallocation of revenues available from the cur-
rent revenue base (1990) .
- A prohibition against provincial off-loading and down-
loading (1990) .
- Cut $2.25 billion from the then $44 billion budget over four
years. Eliminate 4,500 civil service positions. reduce office
space and cut consulting, administrative and ministerial
costs (1990) .
- A 2 per cent dap on vu -age and salary increases in the
broader pudic sector (1991) .
- A freeze on the government's and the legislature's direct
operating expendittres (1991) .
- The creation of a "rainy day account.. to be financed
through the allocation of in -year rtventw windfalls 11991

New Location
Since the day in 1957. a
band of enthusiastic
citizens of Scarborough
area bent on social services
activities got together and
farmed the Scarborough
Unit of the Canadian
Cancer Society. It has been
growing gradually.
The operation started in
a basement sans windows
of the Sdvermde Placa on
southeast corner of
Markham Road. Undeter-
red by the size of the place,
the members of the unit
were more concerned in
serving the people afflicted
by the dreadful disease -
Cancer. They went ahead
with a firm determination
to set the pace for future
growth of the unit.
Eight years later, the
unit moved to St.
C1air/Brimley. Nestled in
between commercial
establishments the Scar-
borough Unit has rendered
yeomen service through its
various activities such as
Patient services. Educa-
tional activities, Volunteer
development, Campaign
services and many more.
Over the years, the unit
has undertaken more ac-
tivities and it was felt that
the extension of services
needed more office space.
In February 1992, the
Scarborough Unit will
move into its new head-
quarters on Kingston Road.
This will help to serve the
community better. The
new address will be 3090
Kingston Road, Suite 202,
Scarborough, Ontario.

or expanded programs would be financed through the re-
distribution of existing revenues.) (1991).

DINNER THEATRE:
It has been mentioned
here before that much of
the popular music of the
sixties passed us by simply
because the time was not
available to listen to it. It
pleasures us now to catch
up with it.
We've mentioned the ex-
cellent Sunday Morning
Oldies Show with Roger
Ashby on CHUM -FM.
Allow us as well to com-
mend to your attention
:Leader Of The Pack now
playing at the Stage West
Theatre Restaurant.
It's supposed to be, and
maybe is, the story of
songwriters Ellie Green-
wich and Jeff Barry. What
ever. Leader Of The Pack
features much of their
music. Now. Greenwich
and Barry are probably not
household names but their
compositions are quite well
known. Among them. and
featured in this musical are
Be my Baby. Do wah did-
dy. And then he kissed me.
Da do ron ron (our
favourite) and. of course,
the title song.
Landmark composi-
boos? Who is to say other-
wise'. Certainly they
haven't passed into
obscurity and are still as
enjoyable today as they
must have been in the six-
ties.
This crusty observer
most certainly enjoys them
and all the other songs in
Leader Of The Pack- We
enjoy then bemuse, in the
twain. they are happy songs
filled with what should be
the exuberance of youth
with a zest for life. Today's
popular music of youth
seems filled with hate and
self abuse. Youth in
rebellion. Rebellion
against what?
Leader Of The Pack
played at Stage West in
1988 but we believe this cur-
rent production to be the
better.
Joyce DeWitt,
remembered by many with
pleasure as Janet on the TV
series, "Three's
Company" plays the lead
role of Ellie Greenwich.
Her performance is not just
that of a well known per-
sonality doing a guest stint.
No indeed! She gives full
measure of performing
skill to her role and she's
good. very good. Her sing-
ing voice is sweet and ar-
ticulate and she dances
beautifully. She brings a
great deal of energy to the
role as well, an energy
shared by the rest of the
cast. about which. more
later. Miss DeWitt is quite
simply, an enchanting little
elf filled with energy and. .
.Went.
The rest of the cast? As
one member of aur party
canmrhonted, there are not
passengers -
Arlene Duncan. Barbara
Barsky. Kelly Bodanis and
Carol McCartney are all
excellent singers and
dancers and enjoyable
either in solos or in ersemn-
ble. Miss McCartney is a
pleasant dicovery for us.

Her voice is excellent and
her interpretation notable.
Kelly Bodanis dances like a
dirvish, an exceedingly
sexy dirvish we might, and
do, add.
The three males in the
cast are Ted Simonett as
Jeff Barry, Larry Mannell
and Vance Avery. Mr.
Simnonett is quite tall and
reminds one of Dan Dailey
when he dances. He also
sings, plays piano and
plays reeds. It's not fair for
one matt to have so much
Went! Vance Avery is per-
forming for the first time at
Stage West. He too is an ex-
cellent dancer but even
were he not, he would cer-
tainly seem so. given the
energy and enthusiasm he
exhibits.
Larry Mannell is,
without question. the new
Ray Bolger. like the late
Mr. Bolger, he doesn't look
like a dances yet he moves
with a litheness that is
quite beguiling. He also is
cognizant that the show
business expression, extra
kick, has a literal meaning.
Musical Director Marek
Norman is a respected
composer in his own right
and the orchestra he has
put together for this show
properly respects the
music played.
Glen Kotyk doubles in
brass as director and
choreographer and per-
forms both functions with
an elan of excellence.
Extra kicks? You'll most
certainly get a kick out of

The cost for a luncheon

under $10 per person. Pret-
ty good deal we'd say. Call

As for us, all we need to
know is that Wendy
Brunelle and Joyce DeWitt
are going to be on the same
show. Now, if only we could
be invited to tap dance.
ON SCREEN:
Richard Gere doesn't
seem to be lucky enough to
put together a string of
good (i.e. successful)
films. For each hit there
seems to be another
somewhat less than
memorable.
Quite frankly we're
reluctant to suggest what
will be audience reception
to his latest one Final
Analysis (Warner
Brothers).
It's not a bad film but it is
quite muddled or muddy.
In it, Mr. Gere plays the
role of a psychiatrist hav-
ing a love affair with the
sister of a female patient.
The dramatic
possibilities are most cer-
tainly there. Unfortunately
they are so obvious that

along the comment of a

Preview audience. Referr-
ing to Richard Gere, she
remarked: "Mew Gott, but
he has great buns!"
We have similar reserva-
tions about This Is My Life
( Twentieth Century Fox) .
It's a pleasant little film
that in the glory years of
Hollywood might have
been included as part of a
double bill.
In it, Julie Kavner is a
divorced mother who
achieves her dream of be-
ing a successful stand up
comedienne. In so doing,
however, she stands in
danger of losing the bre of
her two daughters. It all
turns out right and in good
time: about 90 minutes
which is the time most
films used to ron during the
double bill days.
It's not a bad little movie,
rather good in fact. The
question remains though,
will the public accept it,
Will it become a sleeper
like Marty? This reviewer
can't say. No question that
My life would be suc-
cessful on stage where an
audience could inter -react
with and to the humour. On
screen? We just don't
know.
Certainly we recommend
custom. Julie Kavner (she
used to be Brenda on the
Rhoda television series) is
quite convincing in the lead
role. She has a certain raw
charm that beguiles. And,
she looks good, sounds good
doing stand up material.
Her sixteen and ten year
old daughters are played
by Samantha Mathis and
Gaby Hoffman. So far as
one can determine, those
are their actual ages. The
former is supposed to be a
plain intellectual (in fact,
she is a beautiful young
child who bids fair to be a
ravishing adult beauty).
She does her role well and
with admirable understate-
ment. Young Miss Hoffman
is a sweet child and she has
a sweet talent. Watch for
more from these two
youngsters.

relatively small role as an

We've all met the type of

Dan Aykroyd almost

Volunteers
Needed
For ACSA
Each month, approx-
imately 40 calls are receiv-
ed by the Agincourt Com-
munity Services Associa-
tion (ACSA) office from
frail or elderly Agincourt
residents who cannot use
ITC. These residents are
requesting a drive to
hospital or to a doctor's ap-
pointment, but they also
need a kindly arm to rest
on and company as they sit
in the waiting morn.
Unfortunately, several of
ACSA's regular drivers go
south for varying lengths of
time during the winter,
leaving its fund of wonder-
ful drivers somewhat
depleted.
If you, or someone you
know• could be available
during the day, once a
week maximum, to drive to
a local hospital or doctor's
office, you would be greatly
appreciated. Call Joyce or

up and going and it's a real
social event...
More than 2,500 seniors
ranging from 60 to 90 years

muda Triangle,, "Shamu's

Anheuser-Busch Hospitali-
ty Center.
The opening of the new
attractions, as well as two

pany Anheuser-Busch's
strong commitment to Sea

Sea World's ongoing
dedication to entertain and
educate guests in unique
ways, said Ed Litienta,
vice president of
marketing for the Orlando -
based marine life park.
"Sea World provides guest
expetences that are not
available anywhere else in
the world - our new attrac-
tions build on that concept
and take it one step further.
At Sea World, you'll not on-
ly learn about the
unknown, you'll feel it,
too..'
Guests with a taste for
adventure face a myriad of
deep sea challenges and
dangers in the new "Mis-
sion: Bermuda Triangle".
The attraction combines
Sea World's undersea ex-
t
simulator technology
to take explorers on an un-
forgettable voyage -
Aboard the attraction's
research submersible, the
Neptune, passengers are
immersed" in a thrill -
filled, incredibly realistic
mission attempting to un-
wrap the veil of mystery
that has surrounded the
Bermuda Triangle for cen-
turies.
Kids will give their
squeal of approval to

Ontario Fishing & Sportsmen's Show Wed.Feb.12
If you can cast your eyes
away from the incredible
assortment of lures and
rods and boats and angling
knickknacks for the mo-
ment. you'll see that this
year's Ontario Fishing and
Sportsmen's Show also of-
fers a great entertainment
package. The show runs
from Wed. Feb. 12th
through Sat. Feb. 15th.
Fishing seminars will be
held throughout the show,
noted professional anglers
like Henry Waszcuzuk and
Italo Labignan of the Cana-
dian Sportfishing Team
and Reno and Angelo Viola
of Fish' n Canada wi 11 offer
tips on every aspect of your
favourite pastime. Bruce
and Denny I meson will enc -
plain how to set several
dowrriggers without tangl-
ing lines and also introduce
you to rip -jigging - an Lai-
conventional
o-conventional but deadly
technique for weed
walleye.
All seminars will use the
Outdoor Canada fishing
simulator - a 40 foot, 3,500
gallon tank of water with
real fish lurking in the pro-
fessionally landscaped bot-
tom. The tank lets you see
exactly how fish respond to
a variety of lures and
techniques.
Most anglers assume
that you flyfish only for
trout. In fact, anything you
use your spinning rod for,
you can use a fly rod for,
says Bud Hoffman, head of
the only full-time flyfishing
school in Canada. Hoffman
will demonstrate the fine
art of flycasting and float
tubing.
Float tubes are a sort of
personal watercraft - no
motor, nothing to spook the
fish, just an enclosed inner
tube and a lazy pair of fins.
At the same booth, you'll
find everything you need to
know about getting started
in fly fishing - where to get
fly -tying material, how to
tie flies, how to choose
equipment.
For a great touch of spr-
ing and the outdoors, check
out the Major League Ex-
perience - a hands-on
baseball game in two parts.

Helping Boaters Get Ready
Temperature -15 ... snow
predicted ...up to 3D cen-
timetres ... summer seems
very far away.
You dream. ..visions of
sun and sea dance in your
head. Maybe we should go
south, charter a boat - get a
head start on summer or
let's think about getting the
boat in the water ... cruis-
ing the lake or the thousand
islands. Ahh summer - you
look at the weather and
think "boy, am I ready for
that right now,".. .
At the Canadian Power
and Sail Squadron the
same question and answer
was a resounding No.
So, to help all boaters get
ready the St. James
Squadron haul Put together
a series of lectures design-
ed to prepare them - the in-
trepid boater - with that
knowledge. These lectures
will prepare you for
everything from charting a
yacht down south to tuning
up your boat's motor.
There are six lectures in
the series. they start on
Thurs. Feb. 20th. You can
take all six for the small
price of S35 or select in-
dividual ones for $7 each.

wm Rend Soetens, M.P.
Last week, Finance Minister Don Mazandkoviski and
Treasury Board President Gilles Imselle announced an im-
mediate freeze on discretionary spending on government
operations, including hiring by federal government depart-
ments for the balance of the 1991-93 fiscal year.
Exempt from the freeze will be those services that are
deemed necessary for the health and welfare of Camelhair.
Essential government services, such as unemployment in-
surance and the issuing of passports will also be unaffected.
This spending freeze is necessary to hold the deficit for
1991-92 under $31.5 billion, compared to the $30.5 billion
deficit target that was set in last February's budget. Only
by holding dawn the deficit will it be possible to decxease in-
terest rates. And this will prompt a return to stronger, more
durable growth by mid -year.
Projections for the economy predict that it will grow
about 2.7 per cent in 19M, down from the budget's forecast
of 3.5 per cent. The unexpected slowdown in global
economic growth, particularly in the United States, has had
a significant impact on economic conditions in Canada.
Couple this with the recent recce by the government of
Ontario for $500 million in federal funding, and it is plain to
see that some rigid measures had to be taken.
Although these cutbacks will necessitate the tightening of
belts in several areas, there are some encouraging aspects
regarding the current economy:
Canadian interest rates have dropped more than seven
percentage points during the last eighteen months.
Prime lending rates are at a nineteen -year low.
The inflation rate over the last six months has averaged
toiler two per cent.
A sharp easing in interest rates in the U.S. and Japan
should strengthen international confidence and lead to
stranger world recovery.
The latest figures for the GST show that the tax is on
target, with a prediction of $16.4 billion in year-long
revenues. Every penny generated by the GST will be used
against the public debt.
1, for one, am pleased to see the federal government
stand pat on its commitment to manage the deficit with a
strong hand, rather than comply with the cries for increas-
ed spending. By now. we have all seen that increased spen-
ding inevitably leads to higher taxes down the road. That's
jest a simple matter of economics. In contrast, what the
goverocienu is doing now is an example of fiscal respon-
sibility that will prevent our deficit from ballooning - a
necessity for healthy economic reeovety.
