This approval will allow the Plant Depart- ment to begun to prepare for implementation of Junior Kindergarten in September 1994, if it becomes law. Chairman Louise Farr will write to David Cooke. the new Minister of Education, to advise him of the Durham Board's concern about im- plementing Junior Kindergarten at a time of great financial restraint. Copes of the letter will be sent to other area boards of education which have not yet implemented the pro- gram. Budget Decisions :Made The board passed mo- tions which will eliminate from the 1993 Budget a total of 24.5 teaching posi- tions at the secondary level and 27.4 teaching positions at the elementary level. Trustees expressed regret that staff cuts have become necessary because of dif- ficult financial conditions and hoped that many of these cuts could be achiev- ed through attrition. In ad- dition. the board passed a motion to cut half the Family Studies Design Ronald Martino and Son Funeral Directors (Formerly of West Hill) Brock Road Chapel 1057 Brock Road Bust south of 401, Pickering Family owned and operated.

In order to take advantage of Ministry of Education in- centive grants, the board has ttirected staff to move toward an average ratio of 2D:1 in grades 1 and 2, utilizing the existing number of staff. This mea rns that slightly more of the available teaching staff will be assigned to grades 1 and 2 and slightly fewer of the teaching staff will be assigned to grades 3 to 8. 1993 G.L.G. Information Received Information was receiv- ed from the Ministry of Education regarding the components of the 1996 General Legislative Grants. The ceilings have been increased by $80 in each panel to $4.034 in elementary and $4,%6 in secondary. These in- creases represent a 2 per- cent and 1.6 percent in- crease respectively. In 1993, the standard mill rate in recognized ordinary ex- penditure has been increas- ed by 6.5 percent. This means the local taxpayer will be required to pick up an extra 6.5 percent of ap- proved operating expen- ditures in 1993. Transporta- tion was increased by 4.7 percent, plus a reduction of $21 million which was Serving the Community for 28 Years!

April 7. 1993 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Mainstream Canada By Michel Wyekr "Sorry, we're not hiring at this time." "There are no openings right now." SCIMUMM all -too familiar to the more than 15 million unem- ployed Canadians. The job out- look has been altogether grim lately and indications of a quick turnaround are nowhere to be It seems no one is able to do much—governments have been grappling with unwieldy debts of thea own and miry businesses are downsizing, merely strug- gling to survive amidst an anemic economy. And the job- karress continues. A ghmaw of hope appy when the federal government fi- nally woke up to the fad that the only significant job creators in the Canadian economy over the Last ten years have been small businesses. The facts speak ioudty: firms with under 20 em- ployees were far and away the kadmg lob creators between 1979 and 1959. creating more than 1.5 million new jobs during Wirt time. In 1990, these firms were the 064 fob aeatars, add- ing more than 170,000 new )obs In the economy. In stark con- trast, bug companies (thore with more than S00 empk yms) re- duced tier payrolls by more than 60,000 in 1990. So what did Finance Minister Don Mazankowski do to help crate jobs? He provided Unem- pkiymerst Insurance payroll tut relief. Whet does that mean? Well, ask any small business owner and they'll telt you pay- roll taxes work against job crea- tion. They've profit irmMitive which means you pay the same amount of tax wliether you're matting healthy profits during at economic boom ordwgling close ID bankruptcy during a reces- sion, To encourage small fines to expand and hire new employees, the government will pay any in- crease in U.I. employer premi- ums in 1993 ova 1992, up to a mutrmum of $30,000 per fin. In effect, for most small busi- nesses, U.I. premium ousts will be capped at their 1992 level. In addi0on most start-upbusmsses will have a U.I. prenumn boli - day for 1943. These changes may not tra w - lase Into work for all the unem- pioyed in Canada, but they will assist in maintaining pbs and creating new ones. Another posi- ttve signal a the psdt-tip of the American economy which can only boost our own. Sure, happy days may not be here again but better days are )cast ahead CFAB Fesam Service Report From Parliament from Tom Wappel M.P. Scarborough West Tom Wappel, M. P. Of- ficial Opposition Critic for the Solicitor General, has tabled in the House of Com- mons. "An Act to provide for the relocation and pro- tection of witnesses," in short, the "Witness Protec- tion Act". "The purpose of my Bill is to establish a system for the relocation and protec- tion of witnesses and poten- tial witnesses and their families and close associates. This Bill will create a program which will be run by a separate government agency, replacing the current pro- gram which is a matter of policy only. left to the discretion of each in- dividual Police Force, such as the O.P.P. regional police or the R. C.M.P. as to whether they wish to pro- vide protection or not to in- formants," said Tom Wap- pel. Unless the general public is assured that they will receive proper protec- tion, they will not feel confi- dent to step forward and help the Police fight crime. At a time when crime, and measures to combat crime, are on everyone's mind, it is our duty as legislators to put a program in place which will allow all Cana- dians to do their part without fear of reprisal,'. continued Wappel. In conclusion, Wappel stated, "it is my belief that this Bill, if enacted, will act to curb violence and crime by giving every Canadian a chance to come forward and aid Police agencies in their battle against crime." t:K.

(Photo - Bob Watson 1 Estate Planning Needed To Fight Higher Fees Careful estate planning is needed W take the bite out of probate fees which have been increased dramatically by the On- tario government, says the SFG Retirement invest - "Probate fees in Ontario have almost tripled," says Ted B. Snider, president, SFG Retirement invest- ment Centre. ' Ibex art fees charged by the povm cial goverment todeclam a will valid_" "Ibese fees have gone from $5 per $1,000 to $15 per $1,000 on assets over $50.000. For example, the probate fees on a $5 million estate used to be $25,000. Now it costs the beneficiaries $74,500 to pro- cess the will... To decrease your ex- posure to probate fees, Snider recommends mov- ing investments into vehicles that puss on assets automatically to your beneficiaries and bypass the will process all together. "For example, try to put your assets like savings ac- counts and GICs into Joint Tenancy. This is the legal term for an asset that is 100% owned by one of the two owners upon the death of the other. This technique works well even for a single person who wants to leave funds to a son or daughter," says Snider. "However. keep in mind that the property may pass to the child joint owner, even though the intention may be for the asset to be shared by all of your children. Therefore, some 'estate equalization' plann- ing may be necessary, " ad vises Snider. Another teclrique that allows you to bypass probate -without lasing any control over your aswts- inrvdves using one type of financial institution ower another. For example, life inawance companies offer competitive GICs which are c- 6det a form of annuity that allow for a named beneficiary ap- pointment. All types of annuities -life insurance, RRIFs. RRSPs and pen- sions - can also have a nan- ed , regardless d the financial institution hording the investment. The last, but also the most complex to I que available, involves the use of trusts to hold some of your assets. Trusts created from a will have many redeeming features and should be expiared for their benefits for the heirs. While this may not reduce pro- bate fees upon the first death, it will reduce them upon the death of the sur- vivor because in the case of married couples, probate fees usually get paid twice. Once when the first death results in the transfer of ssets to the surviving spouse. Again upon the death of the surviving spouse when the same assets are transferred to his or her beneficiaries. Language Discrimination How often have Canadians been assured by the Federal government that no one would lose his/her job due to not be- ing bilingual? That promise rings hollow for Norma Montpetit of Corn- wall. She was hired by Sodexho Canada Inc. a Montreal firm, on January 7th to work as a sales clerk in the tuck shop at the Transport Canada Training Institute located in Cornwall. Norma spent one day on training and one day working. She was complimented on her work on completion of her first day on the job, but the next day she was fired because she could not speak French. (Standard Freeholder, Cornwall, January 13, 1993). The Human Rights Commission denies this was discrimination. The Sodexho company says its contract with the Transport Canada Training Institute required tuck shop employees to be bilingual. The Official Languages Act applies only to the Federal Government and its institutions, but here we see the Federal government is putting undue pressure on a company under contract with it. Do our politi- cians not realize the animosity actions such as the above create? In circumstances such as this, good will and a desire for understanding fly out the window. "Mother tongue" French people comprise only 2D% of the Cornwall population, consequently bilingual hiring practices discriminate against 80% of the Cornwall population. (From APEC Newsletter) Anglers And Hunters Go To Supreme Court Ontario's largest conser- vation organization has been awarded the right to take its concerns about conservation and native resource rights to the Sutperne Court of Canada. The Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters (OFAH) has been awarded intervenor status to repre- sent the interests of fish SM wildlife conservation in the Supreme Court ap- peal of George Hoa2rd. The case is expected to set a national precedent that will further define native resource rights in fight of the conservation of species. Howard, a native of the Hiawatha reserve near Peterborough, Ont. was convicted in (916 of fishing out of season near Rice Lake. In March, 1992, the Ontario Court of Appeal dismissed Howard's appeal of the conviction, citing co servabon and a solid 1923 treaty as rationale. He has now appealed to the Supreme Court of Canada. The 19¢3 Whlliaas Treaty included the Hiawatha band and six other south- central Ontario bands. The Ontario Court of Appeal said the treaty dearly and without ambiguity ex- tinguished any special hun- ting and fishing rights for the seven bands' members anywhere in Ontario. Therefore, according to the court, the natives must legally hunt and fish within the provincial and federal conservation laws, like everyone else. "The Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters will do everything in its power to make slue that this con- viction is finally upheld and that conservation wins," said Dr. Dave Ankney. OFAH president and wology professor at the University of Western On- tario. '-It would appear that by allowing its status to present our case, the Supreme Court recognises the importance of rush and wildlife in this legal equa- tion. The Supreme Court case is expected to be beard this year. perhaps by the fall. OFAH lawyer Tim Danson of Toronto, a leading con- stitutional lawyer, will for- ward the federation's case. The OFAH is Ontario's oldest and largest conser- vation organization. It represents the interests of 74,000 members and 480 af- fhated dubs. New Communication Link As part of m outreach program of the Scar- borough Board of Eduaca- tion, a communication link between J_S. Woodsworth Senior Public School and Centenary Health Centre has been formed with the help of a computer modem. Initiated by Woodsworth principal, Gale Carey, the modem program allows on- line chats and mail service between children attending school and those laid up in hospital. The modem offers kids an insight to hospital stays and enables them to share thoughts and feelings with each other. The students chat on a first name basis only and under supem- sion," says Carey. "It's an opportunity for some infor- mal chatting, but they also send letters and stories for the kids to read." Diane Kerr, child life specialist at Centenary ex- plains, "It keeps kids in touch with the outside world and normalizes their hospital experience by keeping up the social aspect of schooling. The kids love it." -------------------------rti�� Give A Gift That Lasts All Year!

April 7, IM Bill Watt's Worlds ON STAGE: Forever Plaid has open- ed for an extended run at the newly refurbished New Yorker Theatre (east side of Yonge, just south of Bloor). Right up front let it be declared that it's the best show of the year to date and possibly the decade. It's bright, bouncy and fun. No real profun- dities here, just good fun and maximum enjoyment. It's the story of The Plaids, a male quartet snuffed out before its time and never knowing that they just might have made it. Given the magic of theatre and an eager au- dience. The Plaids are allowed to come back to earth for one show ...the show they might have done were they not required in heaven. The temptation is strong for this reviewer to polemicize upon the popularity of such quartets in the Fifties, to recall The Four Lads and their original plaid jackets, The Four Aces, The Ames Brother, The Diamonds et al but that would do disser- vice to this excellent show and its recollection of the arguably best decade of the century. The score isn't original. It's a loving collection of such songs as Catch a Fall- ing Star, Cry, Dream Along, Gotta be This or "That. Heart and Soul, Magic Moments, Papa Loves Mambo, Undecided- . .29 ndecided_..29 in all and all perform- ed nicely by a talented cast. The songs aren't treated as camp: neither are they worshiped as great works of art. They are simply Easter Greetings My best wishes to all my Scarborough West constitutents for an Easter filled with the Joy of Spring Anne Swarbrick M.P.P. Scarborough West 1660 Kingston Rd. 696-0967 Dear Friends: My staff and I would like to wish all of you a Very Happy Easter from Jim Karygiannis M.P. Scarborough - Agincourt Happy Easter r rom OB KFORD MPP rough East 1.2787 v to the members of our community �;+ Around and A bou a Your Dining &Entertainment Guide presented as they were originally -more or less -and replete with the body movements that passed for choreography in those days. We're talking the ex- tended arms with palms down to express "sincerity", the lower half of the arms jerked rhythmically parallel to the floor for excitement, the not quite bumps and grinds. They're all here and not mocked, only teas- ed a little. The cast. all young men, have captured the music beautifully. It's a tight one, so much so that all can be declared unequivocally as stars. They are, in alphabetical order Neil Bertram, Paul Castree, John Devorski and Brian Hill. They are backed by the admirable piano skills of Doug Balfour and the bass of Bob Hewus. Each does excellent sob turns, all sing in ensemble as though they had been together for years. Good sense of comedy as well. Quite the funniest bit of theatre seen in too long a time is their version of the Ed Sullivan Show in three minutes and change. Hilarious ... and loving. Probably the best way to sum up Forever Plaid is to say that it's a fun show but, and this is in octant, it doesn't make fun of that wo derfW time it evokes. It entertains and just as much. we suggest, with repeat viewings. ON YOUR TOES. In the rr OMID picture The Wheeler Dealers. Louis Nye portrays an ..artist.. whose paintings are sold by the yard. He prepares them by dressing in a cowboy suit and riding a tricycle over canvas while flinging quint and scattering soil on it. The works are patently and palpably nonsense but his reputaiton is such that they sell well. The impo, - tant thing though, is that he knows the worms for what they are and laughs at the gullibility of his buyers. One has that feeling about Danny Grossman and his dance company. He is a good dancer and his troupe is obviously strong - literally -and well drilled. He might also be a good dance choreographer but the public isn't ever likely Hon. Pauline Browes Member of Parliament for Scarborough -Centre Minister of State Employment and Immigration Pauline Browes' Adion Centre 2163 Lawrence Avenue East, Suite B, Scarborough (416) 751-7400/fax (416) 751-7473 to know, given his now established and apparently successful custom of presenting thumb -at -the - end -of -the -nose sensa- tionalism that comes near being salacious schlock. And, having it accepted. Consider his latest short work which has just premiered at the Premier Dance Theatre. The pro- gram notes title it unnam- ed. in deliberate lower case. Given the gross man's propensity for off- beat humour, one doesn't know if it's genuinely un- named or if that's the ac- tual title. ..or much care one way or the other It's described as a rite of passage brushed by dominance, ending with equality and rebirth. Stale Stravinsky is more like. Five women in costumes reminiscent of the old Honey Dew restaurants duck waddle around stage and from time to time ex- pose their mammaries, reminding of one's breakfast. . .two eggs. . .fried' Four men dressed in black perform the patented Grossman goose step and stab each other from time to time. . All this is to an ".original score" by Kirin Elliott that even Sauter Finnegan in their wildest moments wouldn't have at- tempted and in front of primitive Be] Geddes pro- jections. That's it, there isn't any more. Except possibly. Mr. G. laughing up his tailored sleeve. The evening wasn't without some value. The opening selection Bella, is a mildly charming little divertissement in which a smiling yang man and an apparently bemused young maiden make out -maybe - on, over, under and around a calico horse. The charm of it, however, owes more to the music of Puccini than the frenetic terp- SK60 a of Grossman. The final offering delivered what used to be called. in the days of the big bands, a real bootin' finish. Nobody's Business is to the music mostly of Jelly Roll Morton. Mr. G. rose to the occasion with energetic strength movements that prove the essential worth of his troupe. What a pity it can't be given that sort of op- portunity always. ON GUARD: What follows was written and intended for an earlier column but limitations of space militated against its use. The points raised, however, are still valid though perhaps now lack- ing immediacy of shock, and are offered in that light. Patrick Suskind's one man play The Double Bass, starring Denys Picard opens at the Alumnae Theatre tonight in what we believe is a Toronto premiere. It's presented by Seven Productions, a new company created for the express purpose of bring- ing it to the stage. Another company open- ing another show. A prior commitment prevents this column's attendance but a mention of it here is called for in order to mention something about the new company which pleases mightily. Seven Productions lives Dream Home '93 At Automotive Bidg.Apr.9-18 The 42nd annual National Home Show puts out the welcome mat on a 1993 Dream Home showcasing romantic Victorian styling, leading edge modular con- struction technology and the last word on home com- fort. The National Home Show will also play host to more than 12 acres of home experts, more than 800 quality exhibitors and up to 200,000 visitors during its 10 day stand. The unique convenience of one stop comparison shopping, the value of free ideas, the opportunity to experience all the newest home products, as well as penny-pinching 'Show Special' prices are just some of the reams why the National Home Stow is the original home show and still the best. The turn of the century R-2000 Energy Efficient Dream Home was brought to life using modern com- puter assisted design by the words of Meyerbold: "have people pay for the theatre they want but carry yourself the casts of the theatre you want...

There could even be some federal fun- ding though, to be fair, that can't be stated here with certainty. Surely that's not where government money should be going. Surely, taxpayers should be outraged. Surely they should complain in public forum. Here's another event. On Saturday the 17th, "Jane" a.k.a. Sky Gilbert will ap- pear at the Carlaw Avenue Knob Hill Farms store at 2 p.m. to shop for supper "and extol the virtues of bulk".

CASTING NOTES: Livent announces the casting of Lonette McKee as Julie in Show Boat open- ing this Fall in the new North York Performing Arts Centre. Movie patrons will recognize her from roles in Malcolm X. Jungle Fever and The Cotton Club to mention just a few of her films. Theatre fans will recall that she is the first black actress to have played the role_ That was in 1963 when she performed with the Houston Grand Miss McKee joins Robert Morse, Elaine Stritch, Mark Jacoby and Rebecca Luker previously arnounc- ed. FOOD NOTES: Members of the elegy ruefully reflect that many of the congregation attend only at Christmas and Easter. That's unfortunate, to put it as mildly as possi- ble, but one accepts that twice a year is better than not at all. Next Sunday is Easter and one hopes that the churches will be as full as they should be all year 'round. For an after wor- ship luncheon, we suggest Stage West which is offer- ing a Chocolate and Cham- pagne brunch. Enjoy but remember what you're celebrating: that there is still hope for the world. PAST EXIT: It's always a delight to hear from good friend Ken Wittich in Coral Gables, Florida and learn what's going on in the 11th pro- vince.

Exports are an important engine to growth in the Cana- dian economy -more than one million Canadian jobs depend on international trade. With this in mind, the success of Canadian companies in the international marketplace will also influence our future prosperity. Canadian firms recognize that they have to succeed internationally if they are going to stay competitive and keep offering Canadians high income jobs. Exports and international investment are two major factors that have sustained our economy through a difficult international recession. The Export Development Corporation (EDC) was established in 1969, and has provided important financial services to thousands of Canadian exporters. A self- sustaining financial institution, it has been an essential fac- tor in facilitating export trade and investment in many overseas markets. Recently introduced legislation will amend the Export Development Act to provide Canadian entrepreneurs with an even more comprehensive array of insurance and other financial support services for overseas projects. This legislation would increase the capacity and streamline the services of the EDC. The legislation. largely based on requests from Canadian exporters. is an important part of the Governrnent's efforts to get more Canadian fauns into the global marketplace. especially smaller and medium-sized firms. Good risk management services have come to mean almost a much as price and quality when it carries to competing successful- ly abroad. The legislation would enable the EDC to meet the chang- ing creeds of customers by increasing its capacity and streamlining its services in areas such as long term pre - shipment financing, equity backup in overseas projects, more comprehensive insurance for exporters, and increas- ed involvement in leasing arrangements. The legislation would allow the EDC to work more closely with other financial institutions, and at the same time amble it to respond faster to the risk-managernent requests of Canadian exporters. Overall. these amendments would offer Canadian firms the support they need to continue tak- u* the lead in stimulating the Canadian economy. By acting as a catalyst for international trade, the Government is working with Canadian ferns to enure that outside markets are maximized to the fullest.

The legal action, in T5ner's name, was com- rnernced by the company in- surer which believed the action was reasonable at the time it was commenc- ed. Through the litigation process, however, certain investigations were under- taken which concluded that it was not reasonable to continue the action. The insurer's investiga- tions concluded that the Scarborough Fire Depart- ment fought the fire pro- perly and generally acted commendably. The insurer stated: "The actions of the members of the Scar- borough Fire Department was found to be profes- sional and efficient. The methods and tactics used by the incident com- manders and carried out by the firefighters was con- sistent with good practices and demonstrated the high degree of competency within the Scarborough Fire Department."

For The Dreams Of Most Of Us For most of us, trekking in the Himalayas or sailing the Dutch waters of Holland is a dream that few will realize. The obstacles are many - lack of money and time. People with disabilities face even more obstacles. But thanks to the Ontario March of Dimes Recrea- tion department, they can experience these adven- tures and more. Since, 1989 the Ontario March of Dimes has been offering recreation adven- tures to people with disabilities, as well as non - disabled persons. Such adventures include kayak- ing on Lake Nipigon; canoeing in Algonquin Park and sailing on Lake Ontario. 1n September of 1991, people like Tracy Schmitt trekked in the Himalayas. The two week trek was organized by the Ontario March of Dimes and the Heartwood Institute of Nova Scotia. A four way amputee. Tracy reflects, "Maybe if people see us working together and enjoying each other's company. they will rethink the way they relate to people with disabilities.." "We're offering more than interesting trips. We're providing challenges. We know the participant's have a good time. More importantly, the group completes their journey with a renewed sense of control over their lives," says Catherine Smart, March of Dimes spokesperson. Upcoming journeys in- clude a clipper cruise in Holland; a venture to the Grand Canyon in October; Don't Drink And Drive a cultural rendezvous in the Barbados; and a visit to the land of the Kiwi's -New Zealand and Fiji in the New Year! In addition to these adventure opportunities, the Ontario March of Dimes runs a summer camp on Long lake just outside of Sudbury. Ap- proximately two hundred adults with a disability par- ticipate in a ten day holi- day. Some of the activities include swimming, canoe- ing, camping, outings and socials.

Attracting Newcomers Attracting newcomers is the objective of a poster campaign launched by the Public Libraries of Metro Toronto as a way to bring members of the multicultural community into libraries. The colourful poster reflects the diverse collec- tions and services available in libraries. Designed around the slogan "A New World Welcomes You", it at- tempts to raise awareness of multicultural library services, conveying the message that libraries have something for everyone and that everyone is welcome. The Hongkong Bank of Canada contributed to the production of the poster with a $1,000 donation. Initiated by the Metro Multicultural Services Committee, comprised of members from all seven Metro Public Libraries, the poster was designed by North York Public library publicity staff.
