Surely such incompetence by our Immigration Dept. should be corrected immediately. Most Canadians. we believe, would agree that we should allow only people that we want into our gorgeous land. And we believe there is agreement that immigrants be required to become Canadians as soon as possible - not only to get a citizenship certificate but to try to join our society cultural - We have large cultural grants in our land now and no one can object to groups from former lands forming a group to remember their past. But the immigrants should also be concerned about the future - and we believe that a majority of them are doing their best to be loyal Canadians.

Scarborough West Education & Training W k Celebrates the Work of Students & Teachers Education and Training Week started Monday. This is the time stbllents from schools throughout our community demonstrate their talents to the public. This week, you'll be able to see displays, exhibits and performances of students learning a wide range of skills. The theme of Education and Training Week is. "With the Future in Mind". I think that is a particularly appropriate theme because of its dual meaning. First. it recognizes that students are the future of this province. Second, the theme indicates the Ministry of Education and Training's commit- ment to prepare students for life, work and lifelong learning in a changing, technological world. Our government has put a great deal of emphasis on im- proving education in Ontario. Education and Training Week is a way of demonstrating accountability in our education system. You've told us accountability is a number one priority with you. Teachers and students have an opportunity- to show what students are learning, to -show accountability to those ratepayers who don't have children in the school system. We're committed to quality and accountability. making sure that everyone involved knows how the education system is performing and taking the steps to make it work better. The Common Curriculum and provincial standards describe what students should have learned at various stages of their education. An increased emphasis on testing will make sure that this learning is taking place. For the first time, parents have been given a direct voice in the development of provincial education policy through the establishment of the Ontario Parent Council. Minister of Education and Training Dave Cooke will be involved in a number of activities during Education and Training Week. including a Math Symposium in Toronto on Slay 5 and 6. Parents, teachem and math experts from around the province will work together at this symposium to develop recommendations to the Minister on how• to im- prove student achievement in mathematics. Their report will be shared with the public as soon as it's available. I kook forward to Education and Training Week because it's a good opportunity to find out first hand what is happen- ing in our education system. Any time I've been able to see our schools in action, 1 have always been truly impressed with the ability of students and the dedication of their teachers. If you haven't done so already. I urge you to find out about events in your neighhoutho od scbxrols and see for yourself how well our schools are performing. Let's all celebrate Education and Training Week.

Also, most people don't realize that a business with more than lo';j', of its assets outside of Canada is automatically ineligible for the exemption, anyway. Therefore, a business that expands abroad successfully is, in fact, penalized for its ability to compete glohally.

The purpose of this "Cause for Concern" survey was to determine the problems which concern local residents, both in their personal lives and in the world around them. The survey results indicate there is, indeed, cause for concern. Not surprisingly. 60 percent of those responding indicated that the biggest problem facing the individual today is lack of work or money, while nearly 20 percent felt that lack of purpose is a major problem. Family health and family problems are another major area of concern. The other major area of concern is the uprise of violence in the city we live in. When asked if they feel that people in general are concerned about the present state of the world, 80 percent responded in the affirmative. As for the problems facing the world as a whole, those responding were fairly evenly divided in the opinions. Some 2.5 percent felt that the economy was the greatest cause for worry in the world today. followed by unemployment, racial friction, and AIDS and other diseases, each with 20 percent. Some 10 percent are worried about the problem of pollution, and only 5 percent of those polled felt that nuclear war Establish Charles Sauriol Fund The Conservation Foun- dation of Greater Toronto will honor prominent Cana- dian conservationist Charles Sauriol on the oc- casion of his 90th birthday by launching the "Charles Sauriol Environmental Trust Fund" at a fundrais- ing dinner to be held at the Prince Hotel in North York on May 10, 1994.

Holds Mill Rates The MSSB at a meeting held on Apr. 6, approved a "zero percent increase" in the residential and com- mercial mill rates for the 1994 calendar year. As a result, there will be no in- crease in school taxes in 1994 for Metro's Catholic school ratepayers. The mill rates were ap- proved ahead of the board's final budget in order to meet municipal deadlines for 1994 tax bills. A final budget cannot be approved by MSSB until in- formation is received from the Province of Ontario detailing the general .legislative grant informa- tion. That information is expected in late April. Actual year end results for 1993 are now available and indicate a deficit of 510,759,355. The current status of the 1994 draft budget follows: Revenues -5689,972,279: Ex- penditures $702,189,391; Projected 1993 deficit -$10.759.355: 1994 Shortfall =.976,467. Trustees have already adopted a number of cost- saving measures. These include: reducing the number of trustees by four and supervisory of ficers by thirteen: reduc- ing instructional supplies by ten percent f pre -1989 levels). reducing capital budgets for administrative centres by fifty percent; and reducing non salary administrative costs to pre -1988 levels. Reviews of the board's transportation policy, staf- fing levels and organiza- tional structure are also underway and the board continues to review all non- mandated programs e.g. Msgr. Fraser ( non credit ROYAL LEPAL3L �111i11� programs) ; Extended day, International Languages, Family Studies, Industrial Arts, Instrumental Music and French Immersion. However, achieving a balanced budget is ex- tremely doubtful given cur- rent circumstances. Even if the board were to eliminate 2,000 positions from its staff, it would still have to effect severe cuts in all of the above- mentioned programs in order to arrive at a balanc- ed budget. Should the Ministry of Education and Training permit MSSB to submit a two or three year deficit reduction plan, such a plan would allow for a rational and planned approach to amortizing the 1993 deficit and projected 1994 short- fall. The Ontario Fair Tax Commission Report recognizes that the current funding of education is neither fair nor is it work- ing and is recommending that the allocation of funds to all boards be based on per pupil costs, student needs and community characteristics. If the pro- vince were to act quickly and reform financing of education. MSSB's short- fall could be eliminated as early as this calendar year. Fleming P.S.

Taylor Jr. P.S. have been anxious- ly awaiting spring thaw this year. It's not because the winter was particularly brutal, but because of the school's newly created pond. The pond, which opened in June 1993 and is the first schoolyard pond in Metro Toronto, is home to a varie- ty of plants and animals. The indigenous plants were found in near -by wetlands and some were nursery - grown plants. The school also released several am- phibians into the pond. The school also plans to set up a growing centre so that they can care for delicate plants inside the school during the winter and perhaps even ger- minate some of its own plants. All students from kindergarten to Grade 6 have been actively involv- ed in the building of the pond. They are in charge of teaching others about aspects of its environmen- tal issues. They run the recycling, composting and the many other en- vironmental activities that occur. Academy Open To Metro's Disabled Metro Toronto's disabled community now has access to sophisticated computer and office training. Academy of Learning's Warden & Sheppard facility has opened its doors to 25 persons with disabilities. launching a 14 week training program that senior training director Fred Adil says he hopes will pave the way for successful job placement. If they're capable of doing the program in an academically positive way. then we feel they will be able to perform in a positive way at work also." he says. The program was awarded to Academy of Learning through a contract with the Training Co-ordinating Group ITCG), a training broker for Jobs Ontario. In February, TCG selected Academy of Learning from a short list of six private training providers. According to TCG provincial co-ordinator Wenda Abel, Academv of learning was chosen because of its willingness to address the special needs involved in training persons with disabilities. "Academy of Learning is interested in the success of these people" she says. "Once they were awarded the proposal, they continued to demonstrate that they were interested in the issues and willing to work with us in addressing them. " The 25 students have been chosen from TCG's database of about Son persons with disabilities in the Metro area. "We define disabled as having any long- term persistent impairment - which could be physical, mental, sensory or cognitive - that would present a barrier to employment," says Abel. Academy of Learning. Canada's fastest growing computer and office skills training schools, offers a variety of full diploma programs that are registered with the Ontario Ministry of Education and Training. Provincial Funding For Supportive Housing The Ontario government will invest ",000 annual- ly to improve and expand services at Aldebrain Sup- port Services of Ontario and $45.236 for LaSalle Manor, long-term care sup- portive housing projects, Anne Swarbrick. MPP Scarborough West has an- nounced. "I've gotten clear messages from my consti- tuents, that they prefer to receive long-term care in their own homes : and my staff have worked diligeni- ly over the past three years to ensure that the funding to support that preference is available in our com- munity•" said M.P.P. Swarbrick. Fourteen individuals with physical disabilities and high care needs will have special services pro- vided for them in their Aldebrain apartments located at Birrhmount and Lawrewe. The funding for LaSalle Manor allows the former Fairfax Ave. home for the aged to become a supportive housing unit. The support services will aAow• the individuals to live independently rather than in institutions such as nurs- ing homes. A goal of the govern- ment's redirection of the long-term care system is to expand and better co- ordinate community-based services to allow people to continue living in the com- munity. "Improves to the system will mean easier access. more dignity. com- fort and choice by pro- viding the care Ontanans. need, when they need it, where they need it," added Anne Swarbrick.

To earn his Certificate of Appren- ticeship, Kenopic had to put in 6,000 hours of on-the- job training and complete two in -school training ses- sions at the Carpenters and Allied Workers, Local 27, in Weston. "I had a number of years of experience subcontrac- ting residential floor cover- ing before I became an ap- prentice," says Kenopic, "but through the program I learned how to manage and estimate large jobs, such as shopping malls.

That's Racing by Jerry Hudson Imola, Italy - Three -time Formula One World Champion Ayrton Senna was killed in a high-speed crash during the San Marino Grand Prix here last Sunday. The 34 year-old Williams/Renault driver was negotiating a left-hand bend on the 3.132 mile road course while leading the race when his car failed to turn the corner and crashed heavily into the concrete retaining wall at an estimated 170 mph. The whole weekend at Imola was a tragedy. During Friday's practice rookie driver Rubens Barrichello of Brazil crashed his Jordan I Hart into the tire -wall. He survived but could not start the race because of his injuries. In Saturday's qualifying another rookie, Roland Ratzenberger of Austria, lost the front wing of his car and also crashed. Ratzenberger died, the first Grand Prix driver to lose his life since 1962. And now Senna is the second, both deaths coming in one weekend. The reasons for Senna's crash are unknown. His car had not lost any of its wings, and it still had all its tires entering the turn. There was no brake or tire smoke which would indicate he was attempting to reduce speed. At the time of the incident he was being hotly pursued by German driver Michael Schumacher on the 7th lap of the scheduled 61 - lap contest.

After the crash, medical crews on duty just a couple of hundred yards up the track took an inordinate amount of time to respond to the accident scene. Except for an almost inperceptable movement of his head after the crash. Senna remained unconscious. He was airlifted by helicopter to a local hospital where he later succumbed to massive head injuries. In the first Grand Prix of the 1994 season Senna found the lack of traction control (banned this year by Formula One's governing body) costly as he spun -out at three quarters race - distance while pursuing Schumacher. The second event, at Aida, Japan, saw him exit the proceedings on lap one on the first corner. helped out by Mika Hakkinen's McLaren. That, too, had been Senna's fault as he had tried to pass Schumacher but backed off too suddenly, causing Hakkinen (who hadn't backed off at all) to punt tin off the racetrack. Entering this. the third race on the 16 -event Formula One schedule. Schumacher's Benetton Ford had the most possible points (20) by virtue of his winning both events this year. His only competition, realh. was Senna. Senna had his 65th pole position for this race, and was attempting to earn some points to catch Schumacher. His Williams team had moved the centre- line of the front axle back and repositioned the front wings in a desperate effort to make their cars more competitive against the Benetton Fords. For the record, Michael Schumacher war this Imola Grand Prix, Nicola L.arini was second driving a Ferrari and the McLaren Peugeot of Mika Hakkinen of Finland finished third. Fourth was Ukyo Katayama of Japan driving a Tyrrell Yamaha, and Senna's Williams' teammate, Damon Hill of Great Britain, came in fifth.

Yes, the overcoats are in the closet and the longjohns are at the bottom of the drawer right where they belong. The signs of spring are all around us as we awaken to the friendly sounds of birds chirping amongst the blooming flowers in the bright, warm sunshine. These welcome sights and sounds are greatly ap- preciated, but to many peo- ple in our community these pleasures pale in com- parison to the most impor- tant sign of spring, an oc- currence that brings with it the knowledge that fun fill- ed days lie just ahead. Yes, the lawn bowling greens are opening up' Once again we will be able to get out and enjoy a relaxing day in the sun with our friends at the club. An evening of fresh air and fun under the lights after a hard day of work. We'll be checking out our wardrobe of white pants, skirts and tops ( hoping they still fit) for the weekend tour- naments. We can hardly. wait' Who are these lawn bowl- ing fools? Well, we're everyone. Young and old, male and female, retired seniors, working stiffs and housewives. Lawn Bowling is an activity that everyone can enjoy. It doesn't re- quire a lot of strength or agility and is very inexpen- sive. For the same amount of money that it costs to play 3 rounds of golf you could bowl five times a week from May until Oc- tober' At the Cosburn Lawn Bowling Club in East York our members range from retired seniors, who come out mainly to socialize and meet new people while playing a friendly game, to very competitive tourna- ment bowlers (including a few Canadian and Ontario Champions) who love to play against the tough com- petition in local and provin- cial tournaments. They come from East York, East Toronto. Don Mills and West Scarborough. They are people who alley bowl, curl or do nothing all winter. They all hiowever, have one thing in common. They all love to bowl and most wish they had joined years ago. There are relaxed, friendly, organized games played 3 days and 5 nights a week so you have lots of choices when deciding when and how often you come out. During the year many special events are held to help you further en- joy a summer of fun and enjoyment. At Cosburn our season begins with an "Open House" Sat. May 7th. We are also holding open houses for new bowlers every Monday night (7 p.m.) from May 9 to June 12. Come out and bri ng a friend or a whole group with you. Our coaches are available for free lessons throughout the year. So this summer don't 'co- coon' inside in front of the T.V. when you could be out on the greens enjoying yourself with friends. Call your local club for more in- formation. Their represen- tative will be very glad to bear from you.

May 4, 1941 Bill Watt's Worlds ON YOUR TOES: The National Ballet's production of Tchaikowsky's The Sleep- ing Beauty was originally produced, staged and addi- tionally choreographed (after Petipa) by the late Rudolf Nureyev. He was the brightest star of ballet's firmament at the time and the coffers were opened to him to produce a work exactly as he wanted it. One will travel far and not see a production so lavish in scene design. costuming and lighting. Lovingly bathed in chiaroscuro it is truly love- ly to see. Indeed, the music of the master and the superb visual values have caused some to think of the danc- ing as almost secondary. Not so. The choreography here is quite difficult and only the finest of dancers can do it justice. We were privileged to view- two of the finest on the evening of our attendance at The O'Keefe %•here the work is being presented. Margaret Illmann danc- ed Princess Aurora in a mariner quite breathtak- ing. This lady is the possessor of a silken kinetic that quite transcends mere techni- que. No matter how dif- ficult the measure or move. she makes it look eaasy whether solo or in partner- ship. The latter strength is particularly evident in the fust act pas de cinq with the four suitors. And she and young Robert Twesley become almost one when they dance together. Mr. Twesley is Pnnce Flonmund. Hes young very young - but the buoyancy of youth has not been allowed to soar into the flamboNancy_ of excess. His dancing is disciplined but not tight and his presence is one of awareness, not display. The gentleman is presently ranked as a first soloist but he will shortly become a principal we confidently predict. In Act Two one was quite taken as well with the per- formance of Brenda Mat- thews. She is incredibly beautiful and has a grace of movement that is quite eye catching. Act Three is virtually one long divertissement and the selection of especial delights is difficult, rather like selecting from a box of sweets. Pierre Quinn and Sarah Green commanded as the Blubird and Princess Florine. So too did the char- ming couple who perform- ed the Pussycats prance. They were a last minute cast change and regret- tably, we couldn't catch their names when they were announced. They know who they are. however• and we bow in their direction. Indeed. one must bow to this superb production. Not to put too fine a point upon it but this correspondent was not a fan of Rudolf Nurevev during his lifetime. Even so. his memory is well served with this production. THEATRE NEWS: One expects that emo- tions will run high at The Pantages On May 12th. That's when Colm Wilkin- son will sing the title role in Phantom Of The Opera for the last time after four and a half years and - wait for it - 1.653 performances Mr. Wilkinson is arguably the finest heroic singer on today's musical stage. Many have forgotten that he w -as the first choice for the lead role in the original London production of Phantom but contractual obligations held him to his role of Jean Val Jean in the original production of Les ?MisOrables. Two major roles within a decade. Memorable. He will be succeeded in The Pantages production by Peter Karrie who is a IJovd-Webber veteran. In addition to having starred as The Phantom for two years in London - with four guest star appearances in the Toronto one - he has ap- peased in Eyita. Chess and Jesus Christ. Superstar. He is a worthy successor to Colm Wilkinson, but, oh how fondly will we remember the latter. God speed.

The first weekend had full houses, and a Christie play is still an enjoyable evening of theatre. The show ran Apr. 28. 29. 30 at Scarborough Village Theatre. was held. We're going back.

They'll be part of the ac- tion as the Cunard superliner takes its place in the Royal Navy Flotilla that cruises the Normandy beaches where Allied troops stormed ashore a half -century before. And they'll be in good company. The Royal Yacht Britannia is slated to lead the flotilla, with a good chance that Queen Elizabeth II and the Duke of Edinburgh will be on board. More than 300 Canadian veterans, relatives and friends could be part of the QE2 contingent, says Ray Lunn, owner of Intra Travel - Oshawa. the only Canadian travel agency allowed to sell space at group rates for the D -Day voyage. "We originally went to Cunard with the idea of us- ing the QE2 as a floating hotel in Normandy after we learned almost all hotel space had been booked for years." says Limn. "They loved the idea and in return gave us exclusive Cana- dian rights to book cabins at a group rate." Lunn says his firm, located just east of Toron- to, was allowed to reserve 75 cabins, with the possibility of doubling this allotment if the first 75 sell out as quickly as expected. "Most of the cabins are set up for double occupan- cy although some can han- dle three and even four peo- ple," says Lunn. "So there's a good chance we'll be taking more than 300 Canadian passengers with us. " The Oshawa travel agent adds that one thing might restrict the number of Canadians aboard - the speed with which American veterans book space. "Cunard has given the same group privileges to two of its favoured customers in the United States and we understand they're booking at a good clip," says Lunn. "It's not a high-pressure sales tac- tic, just the straight goods, when i urge Canadians to book early to avoid disap- pointment . " The QE2 leaves New York May 29, for a five-day trans-Atlantic crossing. After overnighting in Southampton. the ship will cross the English Channel and spend three days dock- ed at Cherbourg in :Nor- mandy. Chartered busses will take passengers on trips to the various D -Day beaches. After a return crossing of the English Channel, a boat train will take passengers to London for a trip back to any of British Airways' :North American gateways. A New Killer Whale Show Live action and stunning video imagery combine in a powerful new killer whale show, debuting this fall. Through the use of the ShamuVision screen, guests are transported to remote locations around the w•orid to observe killer whales in the wild, then are treated to spectacular tiew• behaviours, including an underwater "ballet". The result is a fascinating ex- perience that educates guests and urges them to protect the aquatic en- vironment. Sea World of Florida's exciting new introductions in 1994 reflect the ongoing commitment by parent company Anheuser-Busch to provide new experiences which entertain and educate guests. During the past four years, Sea World of Florida has undergone the largest expansions in its 20 year history - opening six major new attractions and four new shows. In 1993 alone.

Take A Walk Self -guided walking tours What Is CRIS Ontario? Technology represents an opportunity to greatly increase the level of ser- vice offered by Ontario's tourism industry, and therefore to greatly im- prove the industry's com- petitiveness. The "infor- mation superhighway" and other technology based developments have already permanently altered the way the world exchanges information. These technologies Pro- vide opportunities for On- tario's tourism industry to offer its customers better access to its products; the CRIS Ontario project is beginning to address these opportunities. CRIS On- tario is an important building block in the ap- plication of technology to tourism. What is CRLS Ontario? Central Reservation and Information Service I CRIS Ontario) is a computerized network using telecom- munications to link travellers with Ontario's tourism products. Operating as an on-line ser- vice. CRIS Ontario pro- vides information of in- terest and use to travellers in Ontario. The reservation service accesses informa- tion on the up to the minute availability of accommoda- tion at participating pro- perties and has the ability to make bookings for that accommodation. By combining informa- tion services with the abili- ty to make reservations, CRIS Ontario is capable of providing one stop shopp- ing" for the marketing of Ontario's tourism pro- ducts. CRIS Ontario has been developed and funded by the ministry of Culture, Tourism and Recreation 1 MCTR1, working in part- nership with tourism in- dustry representatives. What has happened to date' About 165 properties are on line. The pilot project operates in an area of Eastern Ontario and in- cludes a range of accom- modation from hotels in downtown Ottawa with 475 morns to small rural pro- perties with only 7 roorns. The CRIS Ontario system, including the reservation capabilities, can be accessed at the five Travel Information Cen- tres in the pilot test zone of Eastern Ontario. When fully established, the system will be self financing. The pilot project is funded by the govern- ment of Ontario through the jobsOntario program. Support Gp.

The development of the soft- ware and the acquisition and installation of the necessary hardware. both at central locations and in the field, and the training of personnel has been financed from these funds - Individual operators have provided the necessary dedicated telephone lines and the staff to participate in the system at their own ex- pense. It is anticipated that CRIS Ontario could be in- tegrated into the 18 MCTR Travel Information Cen- tres giving travel counsellors the ability to make sales of accomaoda- don as well as provide travel information. As is normal with new software, updated versions of the CRIS Ontario system have been introduced regularly at approximately three month intervals in response to user comments and experience with the system. The CRIS Ontano reser- vation service is designed to be financially self- supporting from the collec- tion of commissions on ac- commodations booked. The system will therefore be market-driven and will need to respond to and satisfy the needs of the tourism industry in order to continue and to grow. Participation in the CRIS Ontario pilot project is op- tional. Properties choosing not to participate continue to receive equitable representation from MCTR information services.

The season opened with a Staff vs Student fun game at Heron Park Arena on March 24th. This game ended in a 4-4 draw which enabled the staff players to save face for another year, at least so they thought. The students then played a series of four intramural games amongst themselves at Malvern Arena and Scarborough Village Arenas. Due to the wide range of ability levels among the participants and the recreational purpose of the program teams were informal and reorganized on each of the four game days. Some good players did emerge, however, as was proven by a second Staff -Student game on April 21st which was won 6.5 by the student team. It's hoped that more younger students will sign Lip to play next spring as we hope to expand the pro - gain. You need not be a great player to participate. The program is open to any Borden student regardless of previous hockey ex- perience, who wants to have some fun on the ice.
