'March 24.199:1 Opinion a page for expression for you and us It Will Get Better b% Bob Batson These days we see nothing but chaos in the world with dissension in Russia, civil war reaching a terrible time in Yugoslavia, bombings in the United Kingdom by IRA ex- tremists, killings in Israel, and terrible times in many parts of Africa. In North America the recession appears to be slackening and a brighter future seems to be in sight. After thousands of business and personal bankruptcies in Canada there are some indications that things will improve with interest rates low and the Canadian dollar stabilized. But, in our opinion, about 50% of our needs for better times are in our minds. In other words if our outlook is positive and thousands of us believe that with the breath of spring in the air things will get better, our recession would be over and prosperity just over the hill. Let's all begin a positive outlook on life generally and our lives will get better faster than if we just sit back gloomily awaiting a better time. In the field of politics the possibility of a woman leader for the federal Progressive Conservatives seems to have in- fluenced a lot of citizens to be ready to vote for a newly -led PC Party than under the present Prime Minister. However, we want political parties to come up with plans for debt reductions, a cutback in the number of civil ser- vants, a large cut in grants to people and generally a balanced budget. So let's go Canadians - we've got what it takes to win the econnonuc battle. Here and There Resale Housing Remains Slow Hoping resales in Canada's 25 major markets fell 20.3 percent to 15,175 units in February I9W. compared to 19.051 in February 1992. Figures released by The Canadian Real Estate Associa- tion ' CREA I show that only one market reported a mean- ingful increase in activity compared to year-ago levels. However, the number of homes trading hands in February was up 63.5 percent overall from the month before. Re The Resignation Of PM New Democratic Partv candidate Guy Hunter Scarborough Centre) has responded to the resigm- tion of Brian Mulroney and the upcoming Progressive Conservative leadership race. "After months of speculation in the media. Brian '.Mulroney decided to step down. He leaves the country poorer, more divided. and with the highest level of unemploy- ment and personal and business bankruptcies since the Great Depres- sion. True to form, good old Bean misled Canadians right to the end, claiming he was going to lead the Tones into the next elec- tion up to a week before the announcement of his quit- ting." he declared. He added: "While many in the media may become subsumed with rumina- tions on various potential leadership candidates, an issue of much greater im- portance for the average Canadian is last week's in- troduction of the enabling legislation for the North American Free Trade Agreement i NAFTA). The NAFTA deal will almost certainly result in even greater job losses for Cana- dians. particularly those working in the manufactur- ing sector. Wages in Mex- ico average between S142 hour and en- vironmental standards are left unenforced. This will create a continental 'race for the bottom' in wages. working conditions, health and environmental Stan- dards as transnational cor- porations play one junsdic- tion off against another.." He then commented on the prospect for change so widely vaunted in the media that would come with a new Ton• leader. "No matter who it is, wfiether it's Kim Camp- bell. ampbell. Michael Wilson. Per - nn Beatty or any of the others. they all voted for the GST, they all voted for Free Trade with the U.S. and support its extension to .Mexico and the rest of Latin America. They have all refused to act on the issues which are most im- portant to Canadians, such as unemployment• fair tax- ation• education and train- ing. The face of the Tory leader may be different, but those destructive policies will still be the same." he concluded. _r'RIO InewsI P S if-] Published every Weenesday by Watson Publishing Company Limited, Est. 1950 Office & Address: 150 Milner Ave. Unit 35.

OMA Advocates Graduated Licensing For New Drivers The Ontario Medical Association strongly sup- Pons tipPorts governmernt legisla- tion that would introduce a system of graduated licens- ing for drivers in Ontario. Graduated licensing systems give novice drivers an opportunity to gain the experience and knowledge essential to the safe operation of a motor vehicle. ..Motor vehicle accidents are a major cause of death and injury among young drivers." says Dr. Rocco Gerace. chairman of the OMA Committee on Ac- cidental Injuries. -In 19gi, 46 per cent of deaths among Canadian males and 40 per cent of deaths among Cana- dian females between the ages of 15 and 19 years were caused by rtnotor vehi- cle collisions. This is three times greater than the average death rate of all drivers.., Gerace said graduated licensing enables new drivers to gain much- needed driving experience. The restrictions on the licence are gradually lifted as the driver ..We've been encouraged by the experience in New Zealand, where a graduated licensing system was introduced in 1987," said Gerace. ..Within two years, death and injury among Ir to 17 -year old drivers dropped by 40 per cent „ According to Gerace, the system is based on the prin- ciple that new drivers, regardless of their age, need to be introduced to driving systematically. This gives them the oppor- tunity to learn to deal with risky driving conditions and ensures they receive continuing driving -skills education and testing," he said. "In this way, novice drivers are encouraged to take responsibility for safe driving. " Driving restrictions for the beginner can include driving only during daylight hours, maintain- ing an accident and infraction -free driving record, driving with a limited number of Unconventional View Of Toronto's Waterfront by John Summers Toronto's Port Industrial Area is a lot like the furnace room in your house. You know it is there• and you recognize that it is important to keeping things going, but when you think of it at all, you think of a dirty, mechanical sort of place that no one would go to for fun. located at the eastern end of the city's central water- front, the Port Industrial Area is built on land created by the Toronto Harbour Commissioners in the early 20th cen- tury. There was a distinctly utopian quality to the project when it was designed, and drawings of the proposed port showed peaceful, prosperous smokestacks lined up along wide, tree -lined boulevards. Certainly many people in Toronto saw the lake -filling as an improvement over Ashbridge's Bay, a low-lying, marshy area which had long been the source of pestilential vapours which affected the health of the city. At one time, all of Toronto's central waterfront was in- dustrial, extending from the filled-in Ashbridge's Bay in the east to Bathurst Quay and the Canada Malting Company's grain elevators in the west. As the 20th century progressed• the waterfront started to de -industrialize, as businesses either closed or moved to the cheaper suburban locations which were now feasible since their materials came by rail. and not by water. The remaining businesses retreated eastwards. leaving behind buildings which survived, often vacant and deteriorating, until the 1970s. In some cases, those builings have been re -used and remain today. along with sundry other remnants of the waterfront's industrial past, such as concrete machinery pads and isolated pieces of rail lines, leading nowhere. The industrial port has always had an uneasy relation- ship with the city, which needed its industries to power commerce and development, but has come increasingly to resent its noise, smoke and pollution. No one would ever call it a beautiful area, and few Torontonians take ma -d - town visitors to see it. It is not without its attractions• however, and many of them are known to Toronto photographer Gil Alkin. From October 14th, 1992. the Manne Museum will be dispiaying a selection of Alkin's photogrphs of the Toronto waterfront. His work unmediately dispels the notion that the industrial port is a drab place. uniformly dull in color. The colour photographs are almost painful in their intensity. and deep and saturated reds. blues and yellows stand out on ships, nines and docks. The black and white images have a monumental grandeur of their own. and a rich, velvety tex- ture more subtle than the strident colour. As revealed in these photographs, the port has a life of its own beyond bad smells and rust. A shot of a pile of raw sugar becomes an almost Wagnerian stage setting. A pool of oily water on rusty steel could be a satellite photograph of the earth from space. Atkin also has a keen eye for the relationship of workers to their tools, and the photographs of the people who wort in the area are no less arresting or intense. "Uoconvermtioenal Views", offers a singular perspective an an arca of the city known to too few of its residents, revealing a surprising complexity in a place most people are inclined to dituruss as not worthy of notice. With a Photographer's sense of composition, acrid an artist's feeling for color and texture, Gil Alkin has explored this w•ohd by the waterfront. The Marine Museum invites you to cone and see it for yourself. "Unconventional views" will be on display at the Marine Museum of Upper Canada from October 14. 1992 to March 31, 1993.

"Following New Zealand's example, Australia introduced a system of graduated licens- ing in 1990, and there are jurisdictions in the United States and in Europe that are also considering legislation," said Gerace. "We hope Ontario will soon follow suit."

March 24. 1993 Bill Watt's Worlds 1N THE CLL'&';: Canadian Music Week is over for another year but what a week it was with a melange of groups appear- ing across the city. One of the livelier spots was the venerable Horseshoe Tavern %•here five groups from Newfoundland per- formed at a special music industry showcase on St. Patrick's Day. There seem to be an af- finity between Ireland and Newfoundland beyond the fact that the native populace of both sound the same when speaking or singing. Perhaps it's because both have been -economicalh•depressed for :so long and have developed a %Tv sense of humour in compensation. What ever• it remains that it seemed all of a piece to see and hear the five groups on Mar. 17th. They were the Hvnes Brothers. the Denis Parker Band, Kim Stockwood. Roger Howse & Ruff Ideas and, the main attraction, The Irish Descendants. The Last named are making quite a splash on the music scene and some readers might have heard them on the John Oakley radio show. To be honest. the page is less than enthusiastic about any kind of folk music. It doesn't dislike it so much as it finds it repetitive even when lyrics are modernized as in Tienamen Square or Catholic Conscience by the Hynes Brothers. So there is no intention of writing about the merits of each of these groups. It's not necessary in any case. Clearly each has found til public acceptance as witness, the long and conti- nuing lineups to see them. The groups were not notably helped either by the less than perfect acoustics. The Horseshoe is usually pretty good in that respect but when it's too crowded, there's virtualiv no echo effect and the music sounds flat ... in the linear sense that is. There's no bounce and little bite. Even so, it was quite an evening and we thank hard working Richard Flohil for the invitation to be in on the start of something really big. IN PRINT: The films of David O.Selznick have been much with us of late. His best known. Gone With The Wind was predictably shown during ratings week and Elwy Yost featured a showing of his films during a Saturday Night At The Mo%ies about a fortnight ago. As pari of the latter. Mr. Yost interviewed David Thomson, author of Show Man The Life of David O. Selznick 1 Alfred A. Knopf i. 7be column has read it and offers a recommendation of same with the following caveat: it's not a book for the casual or even catholic reader. It's intended for and will be most enjoyed by movie buffs and most notably those who believe that Hollywood has made hardly any good motion pictures since the mid fif- ties and the break up of the studio distribution system. Selznick was one of the pioneers of Hollywood and like those of Sam Goldwyn. his films had a certain quality about them that -CK,00 Around and About Your Dining &Entertainment Guide were and remain un- mistakeable. They include GWTW of course, Bird of Paradise, A Bill of Divorce- ment, Little Women, Din- ner at Eight, David Cop- perfield, A Tale of Two Cities, A Star Is Born, The Prisoner of Zenda, Rebec- ca, Since You Went Away, Duel in the Sun, Portrait of Jennie, the list goes on and one. So, it seeress does Mr. Thomson's book. It runs 790 pages with references and is filled with detail• almost too much. The book is about David and is satisfactory in that respect but almost equally as much attention is paid to his father and two brothers. This is all to the good but extraneous in a book about one person. As a history of the Selznicks• Show Man is an unqualified success. As a biography, it's just too long and detailed. To repeat, this is for old movie buffs but oh my, how much it will be enjoyed by them. And. not just for the lavish collection of vintage photos either. In one of the films - obviously not a Selzruck- shown during a recent screening at The Sans of the Desert. Stan Laurel pontificates that "you can lead a horse to water but a pencil must be lead. " It's a slow riser play on words and serves well as a lead in to The Pencil by Henry Petroski ( Alfred A- Knopf), The pencil is such an ubi- WE Traditional English Pub J� FINE BEERS, SPIRITS & PUB FARE Grand Opening April 1, 1993 SHE PPARD AVE.E.

The Pencil might well have been sub- titled Everything There Is To Know About Pencils but Never Thought To Ask. When and where were pencils first made? How were they made? By whom? Who first used them and for what? The answers are sought and, for the most part, found here. One hesitates to describe the book as scholarly and vet, no other word suffices. Mr. Petroski has done his reaearch well and with evident affection. That affection nicely tempers scholasticism into a prose style that makes for comfortably interesting reading. The Pencil is that rarity among books: one that can be read as one's current book, dipped into occa- sionally or kept in a spare room for the late night reading pleasure of a guest. The problem with the last named is that said guest will want to borrow it. Warranted: Returning briefly to the fact that pencils are taken so much for granted, it's rated here that Henry Thoreau didn't include them on a list of needs when preparing for a twelve day excursion into the Maine woods. Clearly. he had pencils with him for his writing but felt it un- necessary to note the fact. What adds interest to the story is that his family manufactured the best lead pencils in North America in the 13406. those of Thoreau & Company. Mr. Petroski has pro&w- ed another equally in- teresting book in the evolu- tion of Useful Things i also Alfred A. Knopf i. Here be explores the genesis of such now everyday -they weren't always -items as spoons and forks, paper clips et al. Of particular fascination is the development of the spoon and the cutler) • fork. i Knives seem always to have been with us.) The spoon obviously imitates a cupped hand but who first devised the fork and latter- ly, one with four tines? Many will find it in- teresting, the refinement of the paper clip and its dependence upon the ten- sile strength and plasticism of the material used in its construction. It was Robert Louis (pro- nounced Lewis by the way) Stevenson who wrote "The world is so full of a number of things, I'm sure we should all be as happy as kings." He would have been happy with these two books by Henry Petroski . It's difficult to say who could be happy with Satan. Cantor and Infinity by Ray- mond Smullyan (Alfred A. Knopf). Yes, Smtdlyan's back with his cockamamie and self trumpetting exer- cises in applied logic. This time 'round, his florid writing -he writes the way David Horowitz speaks! - explores and dissects such problems as A Plague of Lies. The Planet Og and Metapuzzles. Reading them is like watching an entomologist chasing elephants. One imagines that failed and or foiled Mensa aspirants will revel in Can- tor etc but true intellec- Supermodel Canada Finals At Yorkdale Sun. Mar. 28 Yorkdale Shopping Cen- tre and Ford Models Inc. will host the 1993 Super - model of Canada Finals at a gala evening on Sun. Mar. 28, at 9 p.m. in Yorkdale's Bay Court. Ad- mittance is by invitation only. Ford's Supermodel of Canada is Canada's largest and most successful search for aspiring modelling talent. The gala will feature 54 male and female contestants ( selected from over 32.000 entries during Ford's national tour) who will model the latest fashions from Yorkdale's top retailers. The fashion show will take place on a spectacular 70 foot runway specially built to accommodate the cast of Supermodel con- testants. Designers, retailers, modelling scouts and celebrities are expected to attend the Supermodel of Canada finals, which will be hosted by the 199¢ Super - model of the World, Tricia Heifer.

Pantene Pro Y's "Haircare Awards" and Evian's "Health and Fitness Award". The winner will be an- nounced by Eileen and tuals will continue to derive light stimulation and greater enjoyment from Winnie the Pooh in Latin. And, while still testy, it should be pointed out that the Knopf editorial staff er- red in the preparation of the title. There should be no comma after Cantor. Mr. Smullyan himself ap- parently didn't notice. ..or care. SAWIAL NOTES: Charity begins at borne but when those at home are indigent, it behooves those who have left to help those who cannot. So it is that the locally based Alpha Charitable Foundation is holding a dinner and dance at L'Amoreaux Recreation Centre this Saturday begin- ning at 7 p.m. Tickets are only $20 and include the opportunity to win some fine door prizes. Proceeds go toward the many activities of Alpha in- cluding the construction of a hospital in Kottayam, Kerala, India. Ever mind- ful of Canada's benisons, the foundation also intends to establish centres for street children in major cities starting with Toron- to. Please contact Lucy at 449-2166 for tickets and fur- ther details. The column was Just be- ing put to bed when the post delivered advice of Carib- bean Jamboree this Friday at La Contessa Ballroom in Weston. This is another dinner and dance event. The proceeds for this event go toward the York -Finch Jerry Ford, owners of the well-known Ford Modelling Agency. The male winner will receive a contract with the Men's Division of Ford Models Inc. in New York. The female winner will represent Canada in the 1993 Supermodel of the World at MGM Studios in Orlando. Florida this sum- mer where she will com- pete for a $250.Wo modell- ing contract with the Ford Agency - Canada has been the only country to produce two Supermodels of The World: Scarborough's Monika Schnarre in 1986, the youngest winner ever at age 14: and Tricia Helfer, 18, from Donalda.

EVE LEVEL: The works of photographer Carol Marino are on exhibition at the Jane Cortin Gallery star- ting tonn)rrow• and continu- ing through May ist. The lady says of her work "Do not look for meaning in my. photographs. My photography is meant to be felt, not understood." Sounds to the column as though they're just blur- red. Heck, you should see some of our vacation ef- forts. How about it Jane, is it worth offering them to you•, FAST EXIT: Recently the column recalled that on an early visit to New York and Broadway, one of the at- tractions was Point of No Return starring Henry Fonda. Another was Mrs. Me ping, a trifle starring Helen Hayes supported by lggie Wolfington who had earlier appeared in a series of musicals at Toronto's Melody Fair. It would make a good finish to declare how im- pressed we were by her performance but alas, our funds were limited and we opted for another presenta- tion. The mistakes one makes in a lifetime! Miss Hayes has left us now and we never did see her in a live performance, But, if there is an after life and if it is vouchsafed to us. we shall one day see her in some celestial theatre, a :star among the stars.

At the age of 13, Luatta worked at the local gas sta- tion of her home town in Saskatchewan. Two years later she became the manager. Later, her next task in life was working with dangerous explosives as her part of the war effort during WWII. When the war was over, unlike most women who went back to the home, Luatta was hired as an estimator for a roofing company. Here. she came into contact with plumbers, carpenters, electricians and others in related fields;. She was amazed at how many shoddy jobs were be- ing done by unscrupulous contractors, charging un- fair prices, doing un- necessary work, making guarantees and not being available to honour them.

Pearson C.I. Cafferata trade the statement in a professional development session at Pearson C.I. on Fri. Feb 19. For the recent P.D. Dtay. teachers held four 90 minute sessions on topics which affect the school. The four workshops covered the diverse ability levels of students in destreamed classes, outcomes -based education. race relations in schools. and English as a second language- Cafferata's diverse abili- ty workshop was a free- wheeling discussion on how courses and classes will change under the provin- cial government's destrearrung of Grade 9 next year. Destreaming is the elimination of advanc- ed, general and bac level courses and has been criticized by some educators and parents. '.Even if you have a cow pie of students in a destreamed class who go on to advanced courses who wouldn't have previously, it is a success," said Cafferata, chairman of the meeting. "We're giv- ing them the opportunity to discover their ability level. " The outcomes -based education session examin- ed the Scarborough Board of Education's approach to restructuring with em- phasis on student com- petencies. The board sees outcomes -based education as a way to achieve the Ministry of Education's goals for restructuring. "Outcomes are more critical than intentions," Icon Fitton, chairman of the session and a vice- principal at Pearson C.I. said. Fitton explained that outcomes -based education mimics what students will encounter after graduating. "School is the probationary period before the real thing." he said. Fitton assured teachers that the outcomes -based approach would not be forced on them. "We will do this according to our time agenda, he said. Seventeen students from a variety of cultural groups were invited to participate in sessions on race rela- tions. The discussions ex- amined case scenarios which teachers and students might encounter or observe in a classroom. Teachers and students grappled with common concerns and new insights. The students found the day with the teachers a vahable experience. "It was interesting to be with the teachers and talk to them on an equal basis," Celeste Wentt said.

Canadians have a right to expect high standards of con- duct from the representatives that they elect. Last week, legislation was tabled in the House of Commons that will en- sure that no conflicts of interest will arise when federal parliamentarians fulfil their duties. This new legislation will require parliamentarians to arrange their private af- fairs in a certain manner in order to ensure public con- fidence in the integrity and dignity of Parliament. The legislation is based on the recommendations that were made by a special committee, which was established to study the issue. The Government plans to have it in effect following the next federal election. This is what the legislation proposes: a Conflict of In- terests Commission will be established to govern Ministers and Parliamentary Secretaries. They, along with their spouses and dependants. will be required to disclose all their private interests to this independent Commission. The Commission will develop public disclosure statements for Ministers and Parliamentary Secretaries and will deter- mine how their interests are to be treated in order to avoid a potential conflict. Under the legislation, Ministers and Parliamentary Secretaries will be required to follow the Commission's direction. The Commission will have the add- ed authority to investigate alleged misconduct. The legisla- tion would prohibit Ministers and Parliamentary Secretaries from accepting fees or pursuing outside business or professional activities. Where Members of Parliament and Senators are con- cerned an officer of Parliament will also advise them on arranging their personal interests and those of their spouse and dependents, to avoid potential conflicts. This separate body is being created for Members and Senators since their roles are different than Ministers and Parliamentary Secretaries, who warrant more comprehen- sive conflict standards. The public has the right to expect the highest standards of conduct from their parliamentary representatives. This legislation addresses that objective in a fair, reasonable and thorough manner.

The Technical Depart- ment spent the day outside the school visiting Humber College and attending a conference for all teachers on broad-based technology. Of particular interest was the area of communica- tions technology. School principal Vera Taylor was pleased with the structure of the day- " fbere were two important aspects to it," she said. "One was that we used ex- pertise from our own school, and the other was that students were involved in the professional develop- ment evelopment of their teachers.". 10 Pin Bowling In Edmonton The 1993 Youth Bowling Council National Tenpin Chaahpionship will be held at Lynnwood Bowl, Ed- monton.

Teach and practice new skills and plays early in the practice before players become tired S. T'he practice should conclude with drills which improve players' conditioning and skating skills. 6. After practice, you should evaluate its effectiveness by getting feedback from players and assistant eoachea, Here are more essential ingredients of a quality practice: ' make fun a priority ' utnl'u the 100°% rule: 100% use of the ice, 100% player participation, 100% effort and 100% coach controL ' keep players active, not passive_ give clear, concise instructions.
