The board decided to appoint the run- ner up in the last election rather than ask for applica- tions from across Durham Region or ask the City of Oshawa to hold a costly B -,-- election at this time. New Oshawa Trustee S%orn In Long time Oshawa resi- dent Marjorie Burnet was sworn in as the new Oshawa trustee and welcomed by the board. Marjorie is a part time per- sonal banking represen- tative with a financial in- stitution in Pickering Village. She expressed her interest and involvement in the education of her four children, now grown, and her pleasure at now having the opportunity to serve her community as a trustee. Marjorie was ap- pointed to fill the position until the next municipal election in November 1994. Social Contract Negotia- tions Approved The board ratified local Social Contract Ronald Martino and Son Funeral Directors (Formerly of West Hill) Brock Road Chapel 1057 Brock Road Aust south of 401, Pickering Fami1v owned and operated. (416) 686-�z989 agreements with the Durham Women Teachers Association, the Ontario Public School Teachers, Federation and the Ontario Secondary School Teachers' Federation, and approved plans covering non -bargaining unit employees. These agreements call for the im- plementation of the terms and conditions of the 2 Schools Sub -Sectoral Framework Agreements reached Aug- 1, 1993 at the provincial level. Although a number of details remain unresolved locally pending additional information from the pro- vincial government, the local agreements call for wage freezes for the dura- tion of the Social Contract period, days off without pay and some staffing reductions. It is expected that all staffing reductions may be met through attri- tion and that layoffs can be kept to a minimum. With the signing of these local agreements, it is expected that the Durham Board's expenditure reduction target will be revised to $11.48 million. The number of days off without pay for the dif- ferent employee groups will vary from a few to as many as 12, as a result of the Provincial Sub -Sectoral Agreements which, for ex- ample, provide for fewer unpaid days for teachers based on pension contribu- tions redirected to the Social Contract target.

'Whv do we select the Metro School Board? Because it is the one school board which gets no big bucks from Queen's Park and yet is being asked to hand over its C5 million sav- ed from the employees. The !Metro Separate School Board has a grant of $230 million from Queen's Park for this year's budget but citizens who do not qualify as Roman Catholics are denied any equality in this area. Metro School Board gets zero dollars from Queen's Park. We don't believe this inequality should exist. It was in- itiated by the Bill Davis government• carried on by the Peterson government and the New Democratic Bob Rae government is stretching the cost of education for the public school board in Metro Toronto. There is much change needed in our educational system to make it better and more equal to the province's citizens. U property taxes are going to pay for education costs en- tirely it is not as equal as it would be from income and cor- poration taxes. What A Post Office!

We used to praise our post office last year when we took our subscribers' papers to the Milner Ave. plant on Tuesday night and found that subscribers were getting their paper on Wednesday: Nowwe have nothing but scorn for a postal system that takes from Tuesday night to Monday to deliver. We hope that somebody high in the post office executive takes a moment to check on the speed of mail in Metro Toronto and area. It Ls not as good as it was.

Most who plan to build a home or cottage for the first time have no idea how complex or time- consuming ime- consuming the project can be -'It's very similar to a factory's production line," explains Ms Birute Bourne. President, New Home Assurance. "To keep the home on schedule and within budget, each phase of the construction must happen at just the right time. That meats manag- ing carpenters• plumbers, electricians, drywall in- stallers and dozers of other trades. to make sure they complete the work as con- tracted. " If just one of the trades misses a deadline. things can unravel quickly. NIS. Bourne warns. ..Say. for example• the framers fall behind schedule. It can have a domino effect on everyone else. The plumbers and electricians are delaved, and now may not even be able to fit the job in with their other work. Replacements have to be found fast. Mean- while, construction -loan carrying costs mount, and schedules go into a tailspin. "Dealing with the various problems that can arise is not for the fain- thearted." Ms Bourne adds with a smile. Consumers who have heard these horror stories usually decide against becoming their own con- tractor.

But housing developments offer con- sumers little design or col- our choice. And some building contractors have been known to get things done at the cheapest cost. without passing the savings onto the owner. The con- struction results aren't always what the owners had hoped for either. Ms Bourne's company of- fers another choice. "in essence, New Home Assurance acts as a project manager, working on behalf of our clients. We ar- range and oversee every step, from architectural drawings to final occupan- cy inspection. We contact the subcontractors, obtain competing quotes, review the options with our clients, and prepare a detailed cost estimate. The difference is that the owner pays the trades directly, saving the costs of markups and hid- den profits." According to Ms Bourne, another big difference is that the owner is always kept well informed. "W'e're at the site every day, track- ing costs and supervising the work. Additionally, we produce computer- generated progress reports for our clients every other week. There are no big sur- prises, and owners aren't making decisions in a vacuum. " New Home Assurance charges a pre -arranged percentage of the home's actual construction costs for its services. "Clients really appreciate this ap- proach to compensation, since they always know where they stand. It helps us build positive and trusting relationships-" Ms Bourne points out that it takes a tremendous amount of experience to manage a home building project efficiently. She cer- tainly has the credentials. Both an architectural technologist and project manager by profession, she has spent 15 years in every part of the industry, in- cluding five years with On- tario's Home Warranty Program. "I've paid my dues. Now I help others get DAVID SOMERVILLE Prime Minister Kim Campbell says she wants to reform the gold-plated pension plan cur- rently enjoyed by MPs. Indeed, she recently an- nounced her intention to change the plan so that MPs will have to wait until age 55 before they can collect pension benefits. Right now, an MP is eligible for ben- efits after only six years in office regardless of age. She also vowed to end the obnoxious practice of 'double- dippng•, which allows MPs to eollec.'tlavtsh benefitseven dihey have another government job and pay d1enrie. Certainly. these reforms are long overdue. However. they represent only a small. tentative step in the right direction. Even if Campbell were to implement These reforms• the MP pension plan would sMl be far too rich. Tharsbecause Campbell has node no move a reform what is the most outrageous feature of the plan. namely that these pan- sions haw unimi led protection against inflation.

In other words, the MPs' pen- sion is virtually a blank cheque. Clearly, this inflation protec- tion feature sets MPs apart from Canadians in the private sector. Most of them don't have any pension plan at all and those who do could never hope io at - ford pensions with unlimited in- flation protection. M Ps, unlike most seniors, will never have to worry about in- creases in the cost of living erod- ing their income. That's why Kim Campbell's much publicized pension re- forms amount lo litre more than posturing.

The 1982 budget was frozen at the same level as the 1981 operating budget. "Two things have seriously affected the library's financial situa- tion,". according to Library Director Frances Schwenger.

W1 Page 6 THE NEWS POST Wed. September 15, 1993 Bill Watt's Worlds "N STAGE: Does God laugh? There are those who maintain that it's so; that Creation itself was and is a cosmic joke. The consideration of whether or not God laughs is akin to disputes over the number of angels that can dance on the head of a pin. If The Creator does laugh, however, we think it not blasphemous to suggest that he is surely laughing at Nunsen-ce 11 now playing at the Bayview Playhouse. Yes, those wacky sisters of Roboken are back in ac- tion with The Sequel... The Second Coming. (No sexual innuendo please even for Italian gays.) Dan Goggin wfio wrote the original has done well with the sequel aided muchly by major return of original cast members. We're of the opinion that he's done even better. You see, the first time 'round. there was an ele- ment of novelty and sur- prise over nuns cavorting themselves in song. dance and laughter, much laughter. Now, the cast of characters is familiar and one has the feeling of wat- ching old friends and wondering what they're up to now. Well, it's hard to say. Oh. there's a plot line as such but not to worry if you can't follow. It's there simply as a hook for the music and laughter. That said let it also be recorded that Nunserr_se fI is only as good as its cast. Truth to tell, some of the humour flirts with the sophomoric. (**Break a leg and get into the put." The Hol- Roller ballet. i And. Goggin 's songs are somewhat less than memorable. Perhaps that's why the cast album is already produced and available.) Still, the humour is delivered with such glee, the songs with such declasse elegance (no ox- ymoron i, the dancing with such spirit by such a fine cast that anything all is forgiven and one enjoys hugely !Maybe the produc- tion is really as good as it appears. Wonderful Valerie Boyle is back as the Mother Superior and soars high above her matenal. lrtie're quite in love with the lady and her infectious good humour in presiding over a group of characters that aught have been at home in Stoker's) ? i Phra the Phoenician. Her grin and her laugh are so compell- ing that she could probably. recite The Rosary in Swahili and make an au- dience laugh. ;Daydream; We'd love to see her do a britches role as Boniface the cock in Massenet's Le Jongleur de Notre Dame.) Reliable Charlotte Moore (a long way removed from Fantine in Les Miserables ), Sally Cahill (light years removed from Skylight Theatre's ridiculous Taming of The Shrew) and Patty Jamieson (still as toothsome as in her role of Sally in Me and My Girl) all contribute mightily to the over all fun and shenanigans. Jennifer Rockett is Swing, we know her work and are certain she's equally as good in which ever role she'll be called upon to play. Then, there's Jackie Richardson. This is a lady who commands attention when on stage. She is always "on" and always "spot on". Theatre buffs will know what we mean. Others will, when thev see and hear her performing Amen. flow best to sum up Nunsense II? Here it comes. . Second to Nun.

One wishes it well but has this uneasy feeling that it rrught just be a last gasp for Ontario Place and that the entire complex will soon be taken over by Molson's and turn- ed into a :North American style Tivoli Gardens.

IN PRINT: Notwithstanding con- siderations of universality. there still exists a large body of what can be described oniv as national literature. The descriptive doesn't refer to writings on or about nationalism. It refers to what seems to be a kind of writing or style anticipated of, or recognizable b}, the coun- try of origin of the writer. Here are two recently read books which might serve as examples of the foregoing. Beneath The Waters by Oswaldo Franca. Junior t Ballantine) is translated from the author's Spanish. It might have lost something in translation but the column found it, like most books or plays written by Spaniards to be excruciatingly baring. Perhaps it has to do with the fine lazy climate of Spain but its %•ricers seem to take forever to make whatever point it is that they're essaying. Better than a lifetime ago, Thornton Wilder, an excellent American writer wrote The Bridge of San Luis Rey. It described the collapse of a bridge, the deaths of the people on it at the time and how they came to be there. Senor Franca has bor- rowed the theme and at- tempted to describe the lives of people whose homes were flooded for a vast irrigation project. Their lives seem in- describably empty and bor- ing to recall let alone read. Perhaps that's the point that the author has tried to make and perhaps he has made it well but, in the end, one simply says Who cares? Now, we should state that Oswaldo Franca was ac- tually Brazilian but our overall comments upon writers in Spanish remain. The gentleman passed away in 1969 and perhaps his writing skills would have improved but we shall never know. Under The House t Vin- tage Contemporaries) is written by Canadian, Leslie Hall Pinder and is set in Canada.

Fn - day. Saturdav and Wed. novel it's actually more of a mood piece as seems to be so often the case with Canadian writers. Miss Pinder has an undeniable way with words and an excellent skill at evoking a feeling. That said, let it also be said that the feelings are those of ordinary people and it requires extraor- dinary skill to transmute those feelings into interest for the reader. Little people with their secrets might well be, and indeed are, far and away the major component of any country or culture but they aren't always the most interesting. Character delineation is, we believe, better suited to the stage than to the printed word. Miss Pinder has done reasonably well with Under The House but we suggest she turn her talent to playwriting. She just might be another Joanna Glass. FAST EXIT: Some years ago, publisher Richard Simon decided to include a half dozen adhesive bandages in a new juvenile book titl- ed "Dan the Bandage Man". He wired to a friend at the Johnson and Johnson Company, "Please ship two million band-aids im- mediately." Back came a telegram reading, "Band-aids on the way. What the hell happen- ed to you?".

This area presents an ideal setting to experience "true wilderness", a feature that is becoming increasingly rare in southern Ontario. and )3) a heritage trail from Whitevale to Green River where old millworks. ponds and lowland woods have been used to highlight the natural, historic features of the area. The hiking trail was created in cooperation with the Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority and developed with high school and university students under Ontario's summer works program. The trail, a living laboratory that provides a natural science experience for everyone, is a single. uninterrupted link of twore drop 1,(M acres strelchiag froin Green River in the north to Camp Pidaca in the south, a distance of 7.2 kms.

That's why we have worked hard to reach trade agreements like the FTA and NAFTA. Trade barriers are the problem. Trade agreements that bring down barriers and lower prices for Canadian consumers are the solution. Canada -U.S. Free Trade Agreement The Canada -U.S. Free Trade Agreement (FTA) took ef- fect on Jan. 1. 1969. It is the largest bilateral trade agree- ment ever reached. It gives us better access than any other country to the world's largest market, the U.S. The U.S. is a natural market for Canada - three-quarters of our exports go to the U.S. and two million Canadian jobs depend on trade with the U.S. The U.S. is the largest foreign investor in Canada. The FTA gives Canadian firms a North American base which can help them compete better with the world. It also sets a postive example of freer trade for the rest of the world. How the FTA Works it gives us freer access to the U.S. market. The FTA gets rid of all tariffs on products which meet the rules of origin defined by the FTA, as well as several non -tariff barriers. It also allows us to remove tariffs faster at the request of af- fected industries. The FTA's mechanism to settle disputes ensures trade problems between Canada and the U.S. are solved quickly. Disputes involving antidumping and countervailing duties are referred to special expert panels. Disputes about how the FTA is interpreted or applied are referred to special groups set up by the FTA. The dispute mechanism is working well - of all 14 com- pleted cases, eight have had positive results for Canada. North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) The North American Free Trade Agreement is expected to come into effect on Jan. 1. 1994. after being officially ap- proved by Canada. the U.S. and Mexico. NAFTA wands out our efforts to have more access to markets outside North America through the GATT. it will erase virtually all tariffs between Canada and Mexico, ending what is effec- tively one-way free trade in Mexico's favour. NAFTA improves on the FTA. It clarifies the rules cover- ing which goods made in Canada will have no duties or reduced duties when imported by the U.S. and Mexico. It keeps all the gains we made in the FTA. It protects our culture. water and social programs, and our supply management system for agriculture. We are spending i24 million over four years to help Canadian firms get a foothold in the Mexican market Interprovincial Trade Federal, provincial and territorial ministers responsible for trade inside Canada will work to elimunate interprovin- cial barriers. Talks will begin July 1. 1993. Our aim is to reach an agreement by June 30. 1994. Free Trade Works For Canada Every it billion in trade creates or maintains 15,000 Canadian jobs. Our merchandise exports to the U.S. jumped by almost iaD billion in 1992 compared to 19M - the year before the FTA came into effect. Our merchandise ex- ports to the U.S. surged to an all-time high of $122.3 billion last year, smashing the previous record of $110.5 billion set in 1990. For 196991• our exports to the U.S. were strongest in those sectors freed -up by the FTA. especially non -resource- based manufacturing. Since the FTA, 16 of 22 Canadian in- dustry sectors have gained a greater share of the U.S. market.

However, owing to climatic and architectural considerations, western style fibrework was vir- tually unknown and un- practised In Japan until the 20th century. Western style fibreworks were introduced to Japan through catalogues of ex- hibitions and magazines from other parts of the world. As well, the 19705 saw increased travel by Japanese artists. Studying in Europe and the United States, these artists brought back new attitudes towards fibrew•orks in Japan. In Waves:Contem- porary Japanese Fibrew•orks, the viewer will be able to see this con- fluence of eastern and western traditions. A major feature of this exhibition is the wide range of materials. Although many traditional materials have been carried over, ar- tists now use as well paper, wood and bamboo. These natural materials characterize a progression from the earlier influences of western fibrework towards works that are an investigation of a uniquely Japanese expression. Participants are Masakazu Kobayashi, Jun Mitsuhashi, Keiji Nio, Hiroyuki Shindo, Yuko Takada. Koji Takaki. Chiyoko Tanaka, Jun Tomita. Teruyoshi Yoshida and Masao Yoshimura.

Crib Death Crib Death, or Sudden Infant Death Syndrome t SIDS) is the sudden death of any infant or young child which is unex- pected by history, and in which a thorough post mortem ex- amination fails to demonstrate an adequate cause of death. There are 604700 cases of deaths from SIDS in Canada each year. Most children die in the first six months of life, with the majority of deaths occurring during the winter months and usually at night. unobserved by parents or other caregivers. Although any child may potentially die of SIDS, epidemiologic studies have found that mothers of SIDS vic- tims tend to be young. single, lacked prenatal care. smoked and lived in crowded conditions. Recent studies have suggested that infants sleeping on their stomachs t prone position, are at an increased risk of dying of SIDS. The rate of SIDS has declined in several com- munities after public information campaigns urging that babies be put to sleep on their backs. Most paediatricians are now recommending that healthy infants be placed on their backs or sides for sleeping. However, they caution that there may be specific situations where a baby is best placed on its stomach and parents are asked to consult with their doctors about this. An Australian study, published in the prestigious New England Journal of Medicine, August 1993, has suggested that factors other than sleeping position may be involved in SIDS. These researchers concluded that sleeping on a soft material fibre mattress, being swaddled in a sheet or blanket, sleeping in an overheated room or having a recent viral infection, greatly increases the risk for SIDS. Newresearch findings are giving us a clearer picture of SIDS. Most authorities now believe there is no single cause of SIDS, but rather many contributing factors. Parents wanting more details on this devastating condition are urg- ed to discuss it further with their paediatriciaris and family doctors. D.G.

On Sun. Sept. 12th these dedicated riders turned fundraisers par- ticipated in the first Noran- da Forest MS Bike Tour through the Niagara region. "The Noranda Forest MS Bike Tours are a major component of our fundrais- ing efforts across Canada" comments Donald Aitken, Ontario Fundraising Chair- man. "We invite cvclists of all skills and ages to raise funds for the MS Society by securing pledges for each kilometre they travel. Now we have a new route rich in history with picture postcard scenery. We've surpassed our previous ef- forts by putting together one of the most beautiful bike tours in the province." At 9 a. m. on Sunday mor- ning registered riders departed from historic Fort George for a 70 km ride south along the Niagara Parkway to Queenston Park then wind back through fruit groves and vineyards on a return trip to Navy Hall. The cyclists' entourage includes several support vehicles with MS volunteers able to provide first aid, bike repair, food, water and, if necessary, transportation. Along the route, strategically located checkpoints are manned by more volunteers who pro- vide similar assistance. Back at the finish line, cyclists were greeted by an official cheering squad with certified massage therapists waiting in the wings. Noranda Forest staff and volunteers served a hearty barbequed meal to all participants. There was even a Baskin-Robbins welcome wagon with plen- ty of complimentary ice cream for dessert. Funds raised by the Niagara cyclists will push the five year MS Bike Tour total in Ontario to over $3 million. All money raised will support medical research as well as the vital services and pro- grams designed for people with MS and their families.

The Queensland koala, named Karkalla, was acurally born the day after Christmas, Dec. 26, 1992. But koala newborns, or "joeys,” are peanut -size at birth, and move im- mediately to mom's puch where they attach to a nip- ple and continue to grow while nursing and develop- ing. Four to six months later, when their eyes are open and they have developed a furry coat• they make their first ap- pearance by popping their heads out of the pouch. Gradually, they emerge to explore the world, return- ing to the safety of the pouch. until they no longer it. Karkalla only recently emerged and in another month or two will assume a piggy -back position until maturity. Zookeepers reported sighting of tiny feet and arms peeking out over the past seven months but a fail view confirmed that room. Adele. is the proud parent of a boy. Dad. k'Bluey, was a hurricane Andrew survivor who mov- ed to Busch Gardens after the Miami Metrozoo was destroyed. Curator Mike Wells reports that all members of the new family are doing well. "Adele is doing the age old thing that mom's are known the world over for," he said as he pointed to the furry, alert joey,"...and that cradling obviously agrees with Karkalla. Busch Gardens Tampa is an Anheuser-Busch Theme Park.

Playing Around At Black Creek Pioneer Village Immersed in a "Star Wars" video game, any kid can imagine being a grown- up hero. But this summer. some kids will actually be taller than their parents as they climb up on old- fashioned stilts and stroll around the Town Hall Green at Black Creek Pioneer Village. Discover for yourself how much fun they had in nineteenth-century Ontario villages at church socials and family picnics. Throughout the summer at the Village, kids and the young at heart can play a leisurely game of croquet or try their hands at old- time marble games. For the more energetic, there are three-legged races and games like bilndman's bluff and the fox and the gam. Best of all, playing these games in the atmosphere of a living nineteenth-century village goes one better than any holodeck program on the "Starship Enterprise." These games are real eve - openers for kids when they find out how challenging - and enjoyable - it is to get a simple hoop up on its edge and keep it rolling. Young ears really perk up when they bear about a game that rues exotic words like "battledore" and ,shut- tlecock." This game they discover is actually a forerunner of today's bad- minton. The bird was once called a shuttlecock and a wooden paddle known as a battledork was used as a racket. Nearly all the games and toys in nineteenth-century villages were either home- made or locally produced. Today's commercial. mass-produced toys that battle for the learts and minds of kids on Saturday morning television are the products of an industry that developed as an off- shoot of the industrial revolution. It was during the last century that the first factory made toys and board games arrived on the market. Cranberry Resort Development As new life is being breathed into Cranberry.
