Durham Board Of
Education Notes
Modified School Year
Calendar :Models Approved
Trustees approved both a
single track and multi
track modified school year
calendar for approval by
the Ministry of Education
and Training and for use in
possible pilot schools in
Durham. The single track
model features a common 6
week summer holiday and
the multi track model
features a common 2 week
summer holiday. The multi
track model would allow an
overcrowded school to ac-
commodate up to 25 per-
cent more students than
could normally be accom-
modated.
Trustees stressed that no
Durham Board schools
have been chosen at this
point to pilot the modified
school year and that they
wish only to have models
developed as an option to
offer to the public at a later
date.

Bob's Notes by Bob Watson
..... .........
................................... �S
Ask Mr. Manning
Our Liberal government at Ottawa is wrestling over how
to handle its $•t6 billion deficit left by the Progressive Con-
servative government for the year 1993. This ridiculous
overspending at Ottawa must stop. Perhaps a discussion
,with Reform Party Leader Preston Manning might give the
government a few good ideas on eliminating the federal
deficit in 3 years.
There is no argument in the taxpayers' minds that costs
and ridiculous hand-outs to thousands of groups who do not
treed money but get it because it is politically inspiring have
to be eliminated. This means tough decisions in a poor
economic time. However, we can't keep dropping into enor-
mous debt as a country. Private citizens and corporations
are not allowed to go this deep into debt but the federal
government has since the Trudeau government time ap-
parently refused to cut back the rapidly rising national
debt.
We believe that even those voters who did not vote for the
Reform Party would back the Liberals carrying out a cost-
cutting attack on the annual deficit.
The Ontario government should analyze its large debt as
well. Although it is not close to the federal government's
outrageous red ink, it could be eliminated in 1994 with the
ideas of Preston Manning's Reform Party.
In future when governments feel compelled to assist
some group in our society, we believe it should be a "loan"
and not a "handout". Let's get down to real facts and put
our glorious, beautiful land into good financial shape.
Letter To The Editor
Let's Have Equality
Political expedience has always been and now continues
to be the greatest affront to our justice system. This affront
and arrogance continues to frustrate Canadians with
greater expectations presently in our proposed Fair -Tax
objectives. It is nothing but cowardice that permits these
politicians who look injustice in the eye, acknowledge its
wrongs that have existed these many years in our tax
assessment structure across municipal boundaries of
Metropolitan Toronto as a matter of fact across the pro-
vince.
The political leaders that have taken an affirmative stand
deserve our respect. Politicians be they municipal• regional
or provincial who try to supplant justice for political expe-
dience, cowardice• or intimidation have forfeited their right
to preach justice to our citizens.
Our citizens must then take justice into our own hands
and seek justice through class action suits. Our alternative
is to pay our tax on the basis of Market Value Assessment.
The over -taxed portion should be set into a legal trust fund
to rectify through law justice that is being denied through
political misadventure. We can reconstitute the meaning of
the word honour as applied to our elected members. Justice
carries with it the necessary momentum to sustain public
support.
Premier Bob Rae should be told that the outlying areas
that also hold a vote, maybe the larger portion of the vote,
want to be equal partners in the economic restructuring.
We feel as much left out now as he did when Mulroney
discriminated against Ontario. Since Market Value has
been instituted on an overwhelming number of Ontario
Municipalities already previous to the present study what
criteria was used then' South African apartheid caught the
same advantages we are now to a lesser degree bestowing
on our ego inflated Toronto Municipality. When they ask for
a phase in period do not forget this plan has been phrasing in
over these many years; this three year phase in is only a
stall and a sham.
Yours truly.

High Interest Charges
Are Wrong Says Board
The interest rate charged by area municipalities on over-
due taxes should be immediately dropped from a "credit
card like" 15% per annum to around 6 or 7% -the same as
charged by the Ontario and federal governments on over-
due taxes -The Board of Trade of Metropolitan Toronto said
in a letter submitted last week to the Metro and area
municipal councils. Tax arrears in Metro Toronto are at
crisis levels, currently approaching 1x600 million.
-We believe it is hadamentally unfair for municipalities
to be profiting from the misfortune of many business and
residential property owners who are suffering on account of
the extremely weak economic conditions which persist in
Metro. Reducing the interest charged on tax arrears would
be a small but beneficial recognition of the dire cw-
cumstances in which many property owners currently find
themselves, and is a measure which would make it easier
for them to pay off their arrears," the lettei said.
As The Board anticipates that municipal treasurers will
argue that lower rates might contribute to actually worsen-
ing the level of taxpayer delinquency, by making it less
costly to stay in arrears. The Board counters that it is "not
aware of any untoward levels of taxpayer delinquency at
the federal and provincial levels resulting from their more
lenient interest penalty char-ges". To deter going into ar-
rears in the first place, the federal and piovrnc_nl govern-
ments assess late filing penalties, wheras municipalities
simply charge 1.:5% per month until taxes are paid, a
penalty amounting to 15% per annum.
Commenting on the current policy, Board of Trade Vice -
President Mike Lauber stated that "it's structured in a way
that lets property owners slip into arrears relatively easily,
but then the cumulative effect of these "credit card" like in-
terest charges hammers those that have been in arrears for
Chiropractic Treatment
Could Save Millions
The health care system could save hundreds of millions of
dollars annually if the recommendations in the recently
released Magna Report wc.re implemented. The report has
been greeted with enthusiasm by chiropractors and their
patients because it coni+ides that chiropractic manage-
ment of low back injuries is more effective and cost-
effeclive than other treatments.
Commissioned by the Ontario Ministry of Health, the
Manga Report, developed by the Ottawa University Pro-
fessors Pran Magna and Douglas Angus, outlines the
benefits of encouraging chiropractic management of low
back pain, one of the most costly causes of illness and
disability in Canada.
Key findings include chiropractic care of low -back pain
requires fewer hospitalizations; it creates a significant
reduction in chronic problems, as well as in levels and dura-
tion of disability; Workers' Compensation studies repot
that injured workers with a low back pain diagnosis rettmt-
ed to work much sooner when treated by chiropractors than
by physicians.
The Manna Report confirmed what chiropractors and
their patients have known all along," said Dr. Allan G.
colo. "Chiropractic management of low back injuries is
better for the patient and the health care bottom line."
Low back pain is presently a leading cause of illness and
disability in Canada. The treatment and last person hours
cost the Ontario government and the Workers' Compensa-
tion Board millions every year. The Manga Report
estimates that low back injuries cost Canada $6 to $12
billion annually. This cost includes compensation, treat-
ment and lost productivity.
,,This cold be an excellent opportunity for the provincial
and federal governments," adds Dr. Manna. "Health care
agencies are feeling the crunch of kw funding. Here is an
opportunity for them to save money while actually improv-
ing service to the public."
The new report finds that scientific studies have shown
spinal manipulations applied by chiropractors to be more
effective than alternative treatments for low back pain.
Many medical therapies are of questionable validity or are
clearly inadequate. Evidence also indicates that spinal
manipulations are less effective and safe when performed
by ran -chiropractic professionals.
The Marga Report recorn mends that chiropractic ser-
vices should be fully covered by the Ontario Health In-
surance
o-surance Plan to counter the financial disincentive to pa-
tients, hospitals and other comprehensive health organiza-
tions should employ chiropractors on a part time andlor
full time basis to increase accessibility, and the Workers'
Compensation Board should have chiropractors engaged at
a senior level to assess policy and procedures.
The report recommendations. if implemented, trill en-
sure that patients have the most effective and cost effective
care," said Dr. Oolo.

Society and has his office at 3420 F'inch Ave. E. Suite 302,

Violence Against Women
In Canada today, approx-
imately one out of every
five worsen is assaulted by
her partner.
In an effort to raise
awareness of violence
against women and provide
its victims with much need-
ed footwear, Town Shoes
will again be running its
two week campaign
"There Are Too Many
Women Who Need to be In
Your Shoes".
From Nov. 34 through to
Dec. 9, Town Shoes Shop-
pers across Ontario are be-
ing encouraged to bring in
the shoes or boots they love
too much to throw away but
no longer wear, for dona-
tion to women's shelters. In
Toronto and surrounding
areas. the campaign will
benefit Interval House.
Participants will be
given the equivalent of the
GST off the purchase of a
new pair of shoes for every
old pair received during
the campaign period, and
Town Shoes will donate two
dollars to the shelter.
Canada's first shelter for
battered women and their
children, Interval House
provides safe refuge and a
variety of programs and
services to enable women
to gain independence and a
life free from violence.
an extended period. The Peds and the province do it much
more intelligently -they use the late filing penalties as an in-
itial deterrent to going into arrears in the first place, but
are much more sensitive to the problems of the company or
individual who's been unable to pay for an extended period
of time. The way the cities handle the longer term overdue
accounts is a bit like flogging a dead horse, frankly."

IMPORTANT
INFORMATION
ABOUT EDUCATION
IN SCARBOROUGH
As Scarborough residents may be aware. tris Ontario government's Social
Contract Act "slow has necessitated acts in service in the form of unpaid
leave days for all Boards of Education in Metro Toronto.
In Scarborough. both teaching and business and operations staff are required
to take these unpaid days. Over the next three years, all employee groups will
be required to take a number of these days. which will vary from year to year.
Before March 31. 1994. the maxiffxxn unpaid leave days required are as
follows: EfementerY teaching staff- 3 days
• Secondary teaching stadf: 3.5 days
• Educational assistants: 11 days
• Caretaking staff: 12 days
• Business 11 operations staff: 12 days
• Supervisory officers: 5 - 12 days
These unpaid days have been carefully scheduled to minarize their impact on
the education of Scarborough students. However, there is no question there
will be some changes in the services provided by our schools. The most
significant change is the alteration of the school year calendar, which is as
follows:
There will also be other disruptions in sere ces as other st3f+ such as
professional support staff, school secretaries and caretaking staff take their
unpaid leave. These disruptions may include the following:
• Secretaries may not always be available to answer telephones.
• Some special education classes may have to be cancelled on
some days because there are no educational assistants available.
• Some right school and Saturday classes may have to be cancelled.
• Some permits for community use will have to be cancelled.
• Schools and school grounds may not be neat and dean as usual.
Details regarding specific cancellations will be communicated directly to
those who will be affected.
Should you have any further questions or concerns about the Social Contract

leave days for all Boards of Education in Metro Toronto.
In Scarborough. both teaching and business and operations staff are required
to take these unpaid days. Over the next three years, all employee groups will
be required to take a number of these days. which will vary from year to year.
Before March 31. 1994. the maxiffxxn unpaid leave days required are as
follows: EfementerY teaching staff- 3 days
• Secondary teaching stadf: 3.5 days
• Educational assistants: 11 days
• Caretaking staff: 12 days

These unpaid days have been carefully scheduled to minarize their impact on
the education of Scarborough students. However, there is no question there
will be some changes in the services provided by our schools. The most
significant change is the alteration of the school year calendar, which is as
follows:

World AIDS Day Falls On Dec.1

Christian Feminism
Women are the pillars of
the church according to
Christian Feminists. Com-
prising the majority of
volunteers, women per-
form the church's work,
unpaid and unacknowledg-
ed. Often the religious head
of the home, they foster
faith within their families,
unordained and without
real power.
Christian Feminists have
been working for the
recognition of the gifts and
contributions of women
within the church, but
those in the movement say
the male hierarchy have
resisted including women
in the organizational and
power structures of the
church.
On Wed. Dec. 8th at 8
p.m. The Ecumenical
Decade of Churches in
Solidarity with Women is
Fresenting, "Christian
eminism: Gift and
Challenge" at St.
Lawrence Centre Forum,
27 Front St. E.
The Moderator will be
Marguerite McDonald
from CBC Radio.

cert. The concert will
feature the Junior and
Senior bands, choir,
recorder groups and solos.
The participation of the
students, during this year
which marks Sir Ernest
MacMillan's 100th anniver-
sary is a fitting tribute to
this Canadian Musical
giant.
In addition to the
students from Sir Ernest
MacMillan, a number of
students from Sir Samuel
B. Steele Junior Public
School and Brookmill
Junior Public School will
also take part in the con-
cert. Musical selections

have already been infected
with HIV. Every day an
estimated 5000 people are
newly infected. Without
urgent action, the current
total may rise to 40 million
by the end of the century.
In Scarborough, there
are 129 cases of AIDS (3.6
percent of all Ontario
cases). This is the third
highest number in Ontario
behind the City of Toronto
(49.6 percent with 1781
cases) and Ottawa -
Carleton Region (7.7 per-
cent with 277 cases).
Roger LaRade, AIDS
educator with the Scar-
borough Health Depart-
ment, says this is why
World AIDS Day is so im-
portant. "In 1993, as the
PAIDS pandemic con-
tinues to spread it is time
to fight denial. We still see
discrimination and com-
placency, among govern-
ments, communities and
individuals. With no cure in
sight, prevention and
education must remain ab-
solute priorities. World
AIDS Day is an opportunity
for individuals and groups
alike to share information
and concerns," says
LaRade.
In October, the Scar-
borough Health Depart-
ment sponsored a public
school poster competition.
The works created by
students are now on display
at the Scarborough Civic
Centre.
The student posters bring
attention to the concerns of
young people. Their
message'. To point out the
fact that every community
and every individual must
take up the challenge of
HIS' and AIDS.

the safety of other students and staff.
Briefly, the new policy is as follows:
e Violent or threatening behaviour by students in school or at school
Sponsored or supervised activities will result in a suspension of up to 20
school days, and possible police involvement. The length of the suspension
win depend on the seriousness of the behaviour and the individual student's
record of suspensions.
e More violent or d4ngerous behaviour will result in an interim suspension
of 20 days, police involvement and a recommendation for expulsion.
e Possession or use of a non -prohibited weapon will result in a 10 day
suspension on the first offence, and a recommendation for expulsion on
the second offence.
e Possession or use of a prohibited weapon (as specified in the Criminal
Code) will result in a recomrner k tion for expulsion and police involvement.
The fun text of the new policy has been datnWed to each Scarborough student.
Additional copies are available at your local school, or through the Board's
Office, 396-7541.

Art Excursion
On Nov. 19 a group of
Drawing & Painting class
students, along with their
teacher Mr. Amenta and
Vice -Principal Mr. Pun -
chard, went to the country.
The excursion to the Royal
Winter Fair was a most
productive, informative,
and pleasant experience as
the students took in the
sights, sounds, and smells
of the country. Sketches
were produced, animals
were observed and patted
and the taste of homemade
pes and preserves as well
as other goodies were
relished What a wonderful
way to enhance the learn-
ing that goes on at Borden
B.T.I.
United Way
Each year students and
staff at our school raise
funds for the United Way
through a variety of ac-
tivities. As an example on
Thurs. Nov. 25 and Fri.
Nov. 26, tardy or truant
students were allowed to
bury their way out of deter
tion room for $1 per deter
tion. Yes, parents, some of
the old time corrective
measures such as deten-
tions are still in vogue, and
Yes, they do work.

On Nov. 19 a group of
Drawing & Painting class
students, along with their
teacher Mr. Amenta and
Vice -Principal Mr. Pun -
chard, went to the country.
The excursion to the Royal
Winter Fair was a most
productive, informative,
and pleasant experience as
the students took in the
sights, sounds, and smells
of the country. Sketches
were produced, animals
were observed and patted
and the taste of homemade
pes and preserves as well
as other goodies were
relished What a wonderful
way to enhance the learn-
ing that goes on at Borden

United Way
Each year students and
staff at our school raise
funds for the United Way
through a variety of ac-
tivities. As an example on
Thurs. Nov. 25 and Fri.
Nov. 26, tardy or truant
students were allowed to
bury their way out of deter

It's written that Judaism
has survived millenia of
persecution because of its
sense of humour. Proof of
that seems evident in
Punch Me In The
Stomach ! , a one woman
show starring Deb Filler
currently playing at North
York's Leah Posluns
Theatre.
Only a cynic might see it
as exploitive. Some will see
it as small B. black com-
edy. Most will appreciate
and enjoy the manner in
which this remarkable.
handsome woman
demonstrates with
humour -of whatever
description -what it means
to be a Jew. There's
nothing pretentious about
her show. nothing shining
(are you reading this Ar-
nold Minors?) . only
humour laced with com-
passion and delivered with
the well -honed observa-
tional skills of a trained ac -
Miss Filler was born in
New Zealand of Jewish
parents. Her mother had
escaped The Holocaust
with her family. her father
survived it with only a
brother and Iris skills as a
baker. Her family thrived
and Miss Filler. from this
loving nurture, became
and remains one of north
America's best known
monologists and actresses.
Drawing upon a genetic
skill with accents ( her
natural Anzac and ac-
quired Noo li'aw•k in corn-
bination is dreadful to hear
but spot on), she conjures
up a cornucopia of
characters to describe her
Jewishness and, over all,
her love of family.
It's a charming perfor-
mance: fun, touching and,
dare we say it?,
memorable. In truth, that's
all we can say since her
show is virtually in-
describable. . .and in-
describably enjoyable.
See it and enjoy.
IN THE CLUBS:
Second City's new show
at The Fireball is titled
Tory, Party Of 2. It's a cute
title reflecting the recent
and deserved collapse of
the national P.C. party.
( We'd have called it Who's
Tory Now" but you know
what's said about
reviewers: Those who can
etc.) It's also an ad hoc
hook for sketches, one
liners, black outs and songs
to produce our only real an-
tidote for the sorry state of
the country ... laughter.
To say that this latest
revue is funny is to
understate. It's a given
that all Second City shows
are funny. How funny are
they? That's for the in-
dividual to decide. We'll

Having so stated, let it be
noted that the laughter in
question was engendered
by the skill of the per-

material. You see, Second

reduces one to the jelly of
laughter.
Which isn't to say that
there isn't some inspired
clowning. One thinks of
Steve Morel's take off of
Felix Potvin. Delicious
without ever being cruel.
Mostly though, Tory -
Party Of 2 is brilliant col-
laborative writing
delivered by an equally in-
spired cast.
A few highlights? Well,
there's the sketch in which
a middle aged couple are
prepared to accept the fact
of their gay son and his
lover but not the fad that
they're not going to marry -
There's the suspicion of
racism in Brigadoon ("It
Burns me up!"). There's
the dissertation on the na-
tional economy -( Voila! It's
zero'.' ). There's Paul
O'Sullivan's hilarious bit as
an amateur comedian try-
ing stand up for the first
time.
One could, and probably
should, go on but the point
has been made that Second
City's latest is second to
none of its predecessors.
The rest of the cast ably
supported by Bob Derkach
at the keyboards, is men-
tioned now not as an after-
thought nor out of simple
professional courtesy but
in rtec-ogniti n of skills that
approach brilliance. .

IN CONCERT:
We have attended our
first concert in the Recital
Hall of the new Notch York
performing Arts Centre
and can record it as a foie
experience.
The designers have lived
up to the original promise
of excellent sound. We're
not an engineer but suggest
that much of it results from
the generous use of cork
panels and the fact that the
floors are uncarpetted.
Yes!
It seems to us that the
music bounces nicely from
the polished wood into the
welcoming bosom of the
cork to produce a sound
notable for its purity of
balance, sort of musical
rng and yam.
The Orchestra of St.
Luke's conducted by Lukas
Foss presented an evening
of Leonard Bernstein
music. The Column isn't
fond of the music of Berns-
tein (Leonard or Elmer)
but enjoyed the sound of
the orchestra making what
it could of it. Mr. Foss was
a tad frenetic on the
podium. Indeed, he was
rather like a puppet on a
string. forgetting that a
good conductor sways, he
doesn't caper. Still, he
drew the aforementioned
fine sound out of fine or-
chestra.
It was a most enjoyable
evening and one looks for-
ward to more, especially
when the North York Sym-
phony is "at home" with
conductor Kerry Stratton.
IN THE CLUBS AGAIN:
When we were much
younger and arguably still
alive, we were part of a
proposed vocal duet. Our
partner was a gorgeclrs
redhead and we were going
to call ourselves The Kidds.
The endeavour didn't come
to pass -she elected to
marry instead -and the only
remnant of the experience
is our occasional use of the
cut line Billy D. Kidd's
Notebook.
None we've seen the vocal
trio known as The Kidd
Sisters. it was at The Rivoli
where they were launching
their first CD. Titled Songs
You Love To Hate
(Brimar), it's one that
should soon be hitting the
AM playlists and perhaps
even those of the hoity sooty
FM stations.
What the Kidd Sisters do,
in personal appearances
and now on record, are
cover versions of old sten-
dards. Demographically,
the young adults of the mid
1900s and early 1950s are
now the best heeled seg-
ment of the population and
are clarmouring for the
songs they enjoyed when
they were first starting out.
They get them from The
Kidd Sisters.
Among the 11 cuts on the
album are Old Cape Cod,
Boogie Woogie Bangle Boy,
Hold Tight, Why Do Fools
Fall in Love' Put That
Ring On My Finger,
Sincerely and even, Bye
Bye Blues. (We remember
when Bob Christie-Dinah's
Father -used it as his clos-
lag theme on radio before
he embarked on a career of
imitating Sir John A. Mac-
Donald.)
There are some originals
as well such as Swing
Boogie. an instrumental
played while the ladies are
changing costumes and
Blue Elvis, a burtin' yet
smooth torch.
It's all great fun and
almost as enjoyable as see-
ing and hearing these
gorgeous ladies in person.
ON RECORD FOR
CHILDREN:
One of the late Ray No-
ble's loveliest songs is titl-
ed "Love Is The Sweetest
Thing". Indeed it is and
nowhere is love expressed
more sweetly than in
lullabies sung by calling
parents to their children.
So with gently eager an-
ticipation we settled down
to listen to Mothers Of The
World by Jennifer Mason
(A.& M.). This is a debut
album on which his. Mason
sings lullabies culled from
her research into ancient
lullabies from around the
world.
It's good, very good and
one is quite captivated by
the gentle, classically
trained voice of Jennifer
Mason. Regrettably one en-
joys the singer, not the
songs. Which isn't to say
they aren't worth a listen;
only to suggest that they
are not such stuff as
dreams are made of, to our
ear -and, we've lullabied
three children and three
grandchildren. They're too
.exotic by half. We were in -

Shaw Production Plays Well
by Frank Knight
One wonders today how
much revelance a play has,
that deals with war from a
19th century perspective?
Although brilliantly writ-
ten by George Bernard
,Shaw, his satirical anti -war
play "Arms and The Man"
losses something in this day
and age of push button total
war.
Heroic cavalry charges
and young ladies swooning
over dashing young of-
ficers in comic opera
uniforms, pales in
significance to our 20th
century war experience.
The play, first produced
in 18%. has had a promi-
nent place in the English
speaking theatre, but it is
not usually presented these
days even at the Shaw
Festival. The Stage Centre
Productions presentation
of this play was of interest
to myself not having seen
this play in over 30 years.
As usual this groups
presentation was excellent.
Clever use of the thrust
stage had been made with
an open stylized set. The
period was set in Bulgaria
in 1885 and careful
research showed with the
costuming especially the
military uniforms.
The production.side was
rounded out with some ex-
cellent lighting and
technical effects. On the ar-
tistic side the pacing was
off, especially in the first
ad. but there was some
good personal acting and
characterization.
Agatha Marinakis
(Raine) has a lovely speak-
ing voice and stage
presence. Marilyn Metz
(Louka) did her usual sterl-
ing performance as the
maidservant. I was also
impressed by Casey Flem-
ing ( Major Saranoff) with
the larger than life perfor-
mance with good support
performance by Maggie
Clark (Catherine) who had
also supervised the set
building!
L. Garth Allen was once
again artistic director and
was responsible for both
set and costume design. He
is to be congratulated on all
accounts.
Do try to see this Shaw
play while you have the
chance. Nov. 18th to Dec.
4th Thurs. Fri. Sat. and
Wed. Dec. 1 at 8 p.m. Sun-
days at 2 p.m. Fairview

Tchaikowsky Discovers
America is Susan Ham-
mond's latest easy in-
troduction to the classics
and their composers in-
tended for younsters.
Released on The Children's
Label (A. & M.) it's a fic-
tional dramatization of
Tchaikowsky's "famous
trip to Niagara Falls" in
1891 when he first visited
America to conduct at the
grand ung of Carnegie
Hall.
The hook here is unim-
portant. What matters is
the music; selections from
the master's Piano Concer-
to No. 1, Swan Lake, The
Nutcracker, 1812 Overture
and others including even
an excerpt from The Sleep-
ing Beauty played in
ragtime by the redoubtable
John Arpin.
An excellent album and
well recommended even if
the cover illustration
makes Tchaikowsky look
like the execrable Kyle
Rae.
Tim Burton's motion pic-
ture Nightmare Before
Christmas
(Touchstone; Disney)
strikes us as an abortion
resulting from a
miraculous union between
Edgar Allan Poe and
Aubrey Beardsley.
Children should be exposed
to it only with caution. To
be honest, the same cau-
tionary note was made for
Snow White.
Having written that, let it
also be noted that the
soundtrack is now
available. The most and
least that can be said of it is
that if the child enjoyed the
movie, he or she might en-
joy the soundtrack. It's our
personal feeling that many
adults will use it simply for
future Hallowe'en parties.
A few years ago, we
thought the Teenage Mu-
tant Ninja Turtles were too
contrived and blatantly
sales oriented to be suc-
cessful. How wrong we
were.
We've been wrong again,
this time with Barney, the
purple dinosaur. The
creature has quite cap-
tured the hearts of children
and the pocket books of
their parents. We've
received and listened to
Barney's
Favorites Volume I
( Barney Music -EMI) and
rather much against initial
inclination, must admit en-
)oying it. The songs, all 27
of them, are brief (mer-
cifully?) and bouncy. Your
correspondent enjoyed par-
ticularly The Ants Go Mar-
ching In as we recalled
long ago Algonquin camp-
ing trips with our own wee
ones. Good album.
Sharon, Lois and Bram
continue to be very much a
part of the children's music
scene and we have their
two latest albums to hand.
Both are on the
Elephant/A. & M. label.
Candles, Snow & Mistletoe
is subtitled A Family
Celebration of Christmas &
Chanukah. Candles Long
Ago is made up of Songs
For The Chanukah Season.
Both are enjoyable. The
latter recalled the late Ger-
trude Berg's story about
her orthodox father bring-
ing home an evergreen tree
at Christmas and proclaim-
ing it "A Chanukah Bush!"
Wonderful.

$5000 Per Veteran To
Celebrate Normandy D -Day
Wanted: an individuhl,
group or corporation will-
ing to match an anonymous
doctor's $5,000.
The money will send a
veteran and spouse next
year to Normandy to at-
tend events com-
memorating the 50th an-
niversary of D -Day.
Ray Lunn, President of
intra Travel - Oshawa, has
announced that a man in
West Vancouver recently
mailed him a $5,000 cheque
to be used to send a D -Day
veteran to the ceremonies.
Intra Travel - Oshawa is
the sponsor of Operation
Overlord 2, a program
designed to take Second
World War veterans,
spouses, friends and other
interested parties to the
ceremonies aboard the
Queen Elizabeth 2.
"We approached Cunard
Line with the idea when we
learned that hotel space in
France was at a premium
during the early part of
June next year," said
Lunch. "the QE2 will serve
as a floating hotel during
our stay in Normandy after
an Atlantic crossing."
Lunn added that while
the $5,000 is enough to pay
the passage of one veteran,
be or she will probably
want to be accompanied by
a spouse or friend.
' "the anonymous dolor
left it up to us to select a
suitable veteran and we've
decided it should be so-
meone who couldn't afford
to go otherwise," he said.
"Our company will pick up
the couple's out of pocket
expenses, but we're hoping
there is someone out there
who will pay for the second
ticket."
Lunn said the donor
-enclosed the cheque in an
emotional hand written let-
ter that explained he was
making the gesture in
memory of a boyhood
churn whose plane was shot
down over France.
"Our benefactor ap-
parently has felt guilty all
these years that cir-
cumstances at the time
prevented him from flying
with his friend on that last,
fateful flight," said Limn.
'"Ibis is his way of snaking
amends for surviving when
hos friend didn't."
Anyone wishing to con-
tribute all or part of the
fare for a travelling com-
panion for the veteran
selected for the trip can
send a cheque, to Intra
'ravel - Oshawa, 1300 King
St. )S. Oshawa, Ontario,
L1H 9J4 or telephone, toll
If ree : I -900 -269 -D -Day
(3329).
Lunn said the name of
the downed flier will be
made public at the sane
time as the announcement
of the veteran selected for
the trip. Those contributing
to the companion's trip will
be acknowledged lublkiy
unless they too wish to re-
main ananyrntous.
Scarborough Players On
Birmingham Soccer Team
The University of
Alabama at Birmingham's
men's soccer team, coach-
ed by Mike Getman, fhmsh-
ed the season at 11-7-1
overall with a second place
funsh in the Great Midwest
Conference (62-1).
Two Scarborough natives
were members of this
season's team - goalkeeper
Loukas Papaconstantinou
and defender Danny TAan-
nis. Both players were
members of the Ontario
Cup Champion Scar-
borough Azzurn club team
and attended Midland
Avenue Collegiate In-
stitute.
Goalkeeper Loukas
Papaconstantinou was
named to the Great
Midwest Conference All
Newcomer Team as well as
the All Conference Team_
He finished the season with
a 1.4 goals against average,
109 saves and 5 shutouts.
Papaconstantinou started
all 20 games for the Blazers
as a freshman.
Defender Danny Zunis,
also a freshman, started all
20 games for the Blazers as
a defender and had two
assists on the year. Zianrus
was named to the Great
Midwest All Newcomer
team.
Head coach Mike Get-
man contributes much of
the success of the season to
the play of both
Papaconstantinou and
Ziannis. Getman says,
"Loukas and Danny were
the backbone of our
defense this season and
were a major factor in
decreasing our goals
against average of three a
year ago to only one this
season. They both con-
tributed greatly to our suc-
cess this season...

Alsatian Christmas Market Tradition - Not Forgotten
Alsatian Christmas Market
Tradition -Far From
Forgotten
Strasbourg held its first
Christmas market, known
as the
"Christkindelsmarik", in
1570, a tradition which con-
tinues to this day. Featur-
ing various artisan works,
toys, advent crowns, tradi-
tional Alsatian Christmas
cuisine and specially brew-
ed beer, this outdoor and il-
luminated market has a
festival feel to it as there is
so much going on
throughout the city.
Other events in the old ci-
ty centre include: toy and
doll exhibits at the Alsatian
Museum, a creche exhibit
at City Hall, a giant advent
calendar filled with
chocolate, St. Nicolas' ar-
rival on Dec. 6, Christmas
parades, horse-drawn car-
riage rides, Christmas
cruises especially for
children with storytelling
and hot chocolate, and
many kinds of children's
theatre.
There is a wide range of
concerts at this time, such
as those performed in
Notre Dame Cathedral in-
cluding Midnight Mass on
the 24th, choir perfor-
mances with members
ranging in age from 7 to 77
years old, chamber music,
and carols from the Middle
Ages. Several of the city's
restaurants are featuring
Alsatian Christmas menus.
In Strasbourg, Christmas
is celebrated from Nov. 27
through to Jan. 2. The local
tourism office has pro-
grammed hotel packages
during this time with a
choice of several hotels in-
cluding the REgent Con-
tades, Vila d'Est and Petite
France, des Rohans, and
Beauco r Bauman. For

Riquewihr is most pro-
bably the prettiest of all
Alsatian villages. Located
about 60 km SW of
Strasbourg, it appears very
much as it did in the 16th
century as it has been for-
tunate enough to escape the
ravages of war. Once a
walled town steeped in
history, some of its ram-
parts, entrance gates and
Bell tower which date back
to the 13th and 14th cen-
turies still remain.
The former castle of the
Dukes of Montb0liard-
Wurtemberg, completed in
1539, is now a Postal
Museum. There are still
many houses and cour-
tyards dating from bet-
ween 1509 to 1686. However,
Riquewihr is also known
for its excellent Riesling
wine, the vines for which
have been in families for
generations. October is
harvest time and an ex-
cellent time to visit,
however December holds
special interest as well as
the village has its own
Christmas Market which
will be held on the I lth and

Student Code of Behaviour
BY Stefan Sierakewski
After a year of careful
deliberation, the staff at L.
B. Pearson C.I. has
developed a student code
that reflects Pearson
values and expected com-
mon principles of
behaviour. This new code
strongly promotes three
essential values for the ef-
fective operation of our
school community.
These values are: ex-
cellence and achievement,
respect for self, others and
property, and commitment
to a safe and supportive
learning environment. The
code outlines expectations
for behaviour that supports
these values.
There is a balance bet-
ween responsibilities and
rights for parents, teachers
They Want Your Cereal
And Detergent Boxes
You don't need to throw
out your cereal or
detergent boxes any more.
Recycling mills in
Southern Ontario have
pioneered the use of old
boxboard packaging back
into new packaging. And
they can't get enough of it.
"We've gone from no
market three years ago
when we first began ex-
perimenting, to being 420
tonnes a month short,"
says John Mullinder, ex-
ecutive director of the
Paper & Paperboard
Packaging Environmental
Council (PPEC ).
Some 75 municipalities in
Ontario are now collecting
old boxboard (OBB) for
PPEC-member mills, but
it's not enough.
The council has lobbied
Metro Toronto and
Mississauga to add box-
board to their Blue Box col-
lections. And it is keenly
awaiting Metro's decision
whether or not to add box-
board in 1994.
"We've developed an en-
tirely new market, have
the customers lined up for
the tonnages involved, and
are just raring to go," says
Mullinder. "It makes no
sense for Canadian mills to
import similar type
material when it's right
here in our own backyard."
While cereal and
detergent boxes are mostly
100% recycled fibre in the
first place, they still
generally end up in landfill.
"We're closing the loop on
boxboard by putting the old
packaging back into new,"
says Mullinder.
"We're firming up
markets all the time but
the major problem at the
moment is collection.
There's no reason for this
material to go to the
dump.,"
and students and staff ex-
pectations are nowunified
in a coherent way. In addi-
tion, the code explains
clearly the consequences of
not meeting these expecta-
tions.
The Scarborough Board
of Education has a Cum
policy that students who
fight, threaten or extort.
assault others, possess
weapons or replicas of
weapons or who are involv-
ed in drugs or alcohol shall
be suspended and the
police involved. For the
reason, any student, no
matter what the age or
grade, will be immediately
disciplined for any of these
behaviours.
Education must be a
shared commitment in
which students, staff and
parents have not only
rights but also respon-
sibilities. The code makes
it very clear that all
members of the Pearson
community have the right
to be treated with respect
and courtesy, free from
verbal and physical abuse
and racial, cultural and
sexual discrimination. All
members of the Pearson
community have the
responsibility to treat
others accordingly.
The great majority of
students at Lester B. Pear-
son Collegiate are involved
citizens of their school
community who work co-
operatively with other
students and staff to
achieve their personal
educational goals.
The staff urges students
to be involved in their
school and to take an active
part in over thirty sports
teams, numerous clubs and
special interest groups,
enrichment activities, stu-
dent leadership groups,
and special events.
With the assistance of the
guiding principles in the
new code of behaviour,
Pearson students are bet-
ter prepared to live the
school motto of: "Peace
Through Understanding"
