We refer to fine paper recycling. For those who don't know what "fine paper" is. it is all paper which is used for letters, press releases - nearly even•thing except newsprint. cardboard and shiny paper. %%-hen we asked officials at local government why fine paper isn't put in Blue Boxes. their reply was that houses don't have enough fine paper wastage to make collection economical However, most commercial and industrial organizations have fine paper wastage but don't get local government pickup. This puzzles us -Why don't commercial and industrial companies get garbage pickup as well as materials for recvchne These organizations pay at least twice the municipal taxes that a residential property pays but don't get all of the services. Oh. there are private companies after the fine paper waste from commercial and industrial taxpayers but why should this extra cost he laid on these hie taxpayers' We understand that City of Oshawa has bins for fine paper locally on the property of a large shopping centre. Why couldn't Metm Toronto have such bins available for the population' We believe that business properties which pay heavy municipal taxes should he able to use the recycling system Ju --t like residential property municipal taxpayers.

The first version contained im- portant information about the cost of the province's non- profit housing program - a timely initiative given the subsequent revelations of escalating costs. writedom-m and scandals in the non-profit sector. As it turned out. almost to the day we mailed out the "File". the Minister of Housing sent a package to local media. municipalities and others responding to criticisms which FRPtf had raised previously. Her mailing included factual material deserving of rejoinder. as well as other in- formation which no less an independent arbiter than the Provincial Auditor has termed "rrusleading. incomplete or based on questionable interpretation of information The enc lased "House of Cards File". therefore. continues the debate on the non-profit and shelter allowance ap- proaches to assisting the needy, in order to clarify the issues at stake. I am sure that you will find it of interest. But non-profit housing is only a single component of On- tario housing policy. 11 there is one thing that is becoming clear in this public dialogue, it is that we would all benefit tram the widest possible debate on the approaches to hous- ing, problems. Mien the Minister of Housing promotes government - subsidized housing as the only possible approach to pro- viding new supply, this cannot be evaluated seriously ,A ithout considering the cost of continuing even the current programs - prograrri-jwhich fall far short of meeting needs. despite their huge price tag Nor can it be analyzed in the absence of anv review of the very governmental policies which have eliminated private sector construction. Similar - 1. when FRPO suggests targeting non-profit assistance to those \ ith special needs or expanding shelter assistance to the working poor, these proposals should be weighed in light of the real-world requirements of those on waiting lists. to see if the theory matches up with reality. That will be the focus of upcoming issues of "The House of Cards File". We will explore a variety of related topics: the impact of the planning process. lot levies and tax policies on rental housing supply: approaches to refit decontrol and tenant protection: and demand for new ren- tal housing and how it can be met. to name only a few.

Through the years the dedication. commitment, hard work and success of seniors has proven invaluable to families, communities, and this province. All of society benefits socially and economically through the many contributions our seniors have made and continue M make. The Ontario government takes great pride in acknowledging the efforts and achievements of senior citizens. To enhance and improve the lives of seniors. our government has started several on-going measures. Seniors' Month is an ideal time to look at what's being done for seniors. The Ontario Drug network System. a computer network that will give pharmists information on patients' prescriptions to ensure against drug duplication or possible interactions with other medications. The Ontario Drug Network System. which will be operating by fall, will provide services to all senior citizens receiving benefits under the Ontario Drug Beneficiary program. Bill 120. the Residents' Rights Bill. a key piece of legislation that has special significance for thousands of Ontario's senior citizens. received Third Reading on May 16, 1994. Bill 120 gives residents of care homes full protection of the landlord and Tenant Act and the Rent Control Act. This mearts full recognition of rights to privacy and personal safety and full tenure: no evictions at the whim of an operator. Bill 120 Kill extend tenant protection to tenants living in unregulated care homes and apartments houses. Also, under Bill 120. the Government of Ontario wants to give more flexiMlity to municipalities for those people who wish to build Garden Suites. These small. pmfahle, self-contained units provide ideal living arrangements for those who require some assistance to live on their own but can still maintain axienendence and privacy. Homeowners will also be able to create apartments in homes in these apartments, tenants can live in safe. separate living space but still he slice to family members.

M.P. for Scarborough -Rouge River. has re- introduced a bill in the House of Commons that would tackle several of the flaws plaguing Canada's justice system. This public safety initiative includes measures to lower the age jurisdiction of the Young Offenders Act, strengthen bail and sentencing provisions, outlaw "Crack Houses", and establish rights for victims of sexual assault. "1 believe this public safety initiative could make our streets and communities safer for us all. These measures would correct numerous deficiencies in our justice system that are crying out for reform." said Derek Lee. Lee's Public Safety Improvement Plan proposes to do the following: Lower the age of young offender criminal responsibility from 12 to tU. Allow victims of sexual assault to request judicially ordered blood tests of an assailant, if they suspect he site may have been infected with an infectious disease. Deny statutory release to serious repeat offenders. Close a loophole that allows offenders to avoid serving time for new offences. Outlaw -Crack Houses". Toughen up bail procedures. "My constituents are telling me that we must tighten up the cracks in our justice system. These reforms are design- ed to send out a message that the safety of the public is the first priority of our justice system," said Mr. Lee. Volunteers needed Mental health program needs volunteers to assist with recreation activities such as board games• cards and social interac- tion.

More than 27o alumni from Etienne -Brute Secon- dary School attended a gala evening at the Prince Hotel on Sat. May 14, to celebrate the 25th anniver- sary of the first French language public secondary school ever opened in the Metropolitan Toronto area. "It is important to recognize all of the people who contributed directly or indirectly to the opening of the first French public secondary school in Metro Toronto 25 years ago. It is because of the hard work of these poneers that more than 5,000 students were able to graduate in French since 1969." said Mr. Andre Lalonde, Director of Education for CEFCUT, the Metro Toronto French - Language public school board. "Our school's motto "Unity in Diversity" defines the rich values that our school respects by welcoming students from all over the woid who have the French language in common," said Mr. Chris- tian Fagueret, Principal of Etienne-BrW6. The evening was attend- ed by a large number of former students who travelled from as far as Switzerland, New Brunswick and Washington DC. by Past and present principals, administrative and teaching staff, Board employees and school trustees. Created in 1969 by the North York Board of Education's French Language Advisory Com- mittee, Etienne -BI -01e Secondary School was link- ed to the North York Board of Education for 20 years. It has been managed by The Metropolitan Toronto French -Language School Council (CEFCUT) since January 1989. In 1994, the school counts more than 420 students from grade 7 up to O.A.C.

Store Owners Take The Initiative Clifferest Plaza's Side Walk Sale almost didn't happen this year. The landlord, Cl ffcrest Plaza Limited, couldn't afford the time or money to organize the annual event. But that wasn't good enough for the merchants. Led by Kate Tanner of The Book Shelf, they got together and organized their own sale. .'I've never organized anything like this before,.. said Kate Tanner, "but everyone was so en- thusiastic and helpful. The sale means a lot to both the store owners and the peo- ple in the area. There are going to be some great ln,,irgains. I The sale is scheduled for June 9th to 12th, with vir- tually every store in the plaza participating. "Even National Trust is doing hot dogs and a bake sale.

"We were surprised by the determination of the tenants," said Linda Sheridan, property manager for Cliffcrest Plaza Limited "Once we saw they were going ahead with the sale, we raided the kitty for some money towards tables and a clown. It's terrific to see this sort of cooperation in the business community... "It's not cooperation," said Kate Tanner, "It's survival. The more excite- ment and goodwill we can generate for our customers, the more likely they'll be back after the sale... 1994 Seniors' Showcase Join Sam and seniors when they step out at the 1994 Scarborough Seniors' Showcase which is celebrating its 11th An- niversary on June 9 and 10 at the Scarborough Town centre and they invite all of Scarborough to drop in and enjoy this two day ex- travaganza.

CITY OF SCARBOROUGH NOTICE Class Environmental Assessment PROGRESS AVENUE EXTENSION AND 'PARTIAL INTERCHANGE AT HIGHWAY 401 The City of Scarborough is undertaking a Class Environmental Assessment Study to examine the potential extension of Progress Avenue east of Markham Road northerly to Milner Avenue with additional Highway 401 ramp connections. The attached figure illustrates the study area. Through numerous discussions with the Ministry of Transportation (MTO). an acceptable alternative was identified for the Progress Avenue bridge over Highway 401 and for an entrance ramp from Progress Ave. onto eastbound Highway 401. In the westbound direction an exit ramp to Progress Avenue was not approved because the MTO believes it would create unacceptable traffic operations on the freeway. The Project Team is now considering additional westbound alternatives including Neilson Rd. connection to Milner Ave.. Executive Ct. Extension, and Bellamy Rd. overpass (all identified in the City's Official Plan). We will also be investigating an alternative which includes the eastbound on- ramp and bridge, with no improvements in the westbound direction.

The service is offered to all patient,, who give birth at NTYGH. Kimberly Maves of Pickering gave birth to her first child. Alexandra Christine, on Apr. 3. She visited the clinic several times in the two weeks after "A.C." was born. -As a first time mother it was quite comforting to know the clinic was there for me. I'm breastfeeding. at fest I didn't know how much nourishment she was getting. When I saw the weight gain I was reassured " she says. "I like that I could choose to get the information over the phone or to come in." In the first couple days after childbirth. there is so much new information to take in• says Kimberly• that it's Mrd to re+oember it mg. Although she has several friends and relatives with young children. she said she still wanted an "expert opinion" when it came to questions about her own baby. Along with breastfeeding and weight gain. she had questions about a mild eve discharge, and had the stitches from her cesarean section checked. Since the service started in April, most questions have been about breastfeeding. says Lois Maclnnis. Director of the Postpartum Unit. "This clinic is important because ten years ago, mothers stayed in hospital for five to seven days. so there was lots of time for nurses to teach them what they needed to know. But today. a normal stay is 24 to 48 hours. and there just isn't the time for talking about all the little and rot -so -little things a new mother might want to know about." The service gives new moms general reassurance and support, says Lois Maclnnis. "It helps us improve the care our patients get, and since we are a community resource, that care can extend into the home." If the mother's concern can't be addressed by the nurse at the clinic, she is referred to a physician, the NYGH Breastfeeding Clinic, a Public Health Nurse. or another community agency. One of three specially - trained registered nurses works in the clinic seven days a week from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. They visit all mothers scheduled for discharge to explain the service and make appointments. The nurses also telephone Gilbert and Sullivan's operetta ,The Mikado" delighted capacity audiences at Grenville Christian College in Brockville.

The nurses encourage new mothers to phone at any hour of the day or night. After the clinic closes. maternitv nurses answer the telephone.

Credit for the year is dependent on Canadian school policy. To qualify, applicants must maintain a B or bet- ter average in school, have excellent teacher references and exhibit the maturity to accommodate an extended stay away from home and culture. Language of the chosen country is helpful but not a necessity. World Heritage is also seeking volunteer Toronto families to host a Mexican or Spanish exchange stu- dent arriving in August. Each student has exhibited the same high standards set for Outbound Canadian students and is excited by the opportunity to share their culture and customs with their hosts.

The 1994 Scarborough - Indianapolis Peace Games are in Indianapolis this year and they are early, on July 22nd. The Training Camp for swimming is ready to kick off on June 20th. The Training Camp is at Bendale Pool (Comer of Midland and Lawrence) and this year there will be two time slots to choose from 7 to 8 a.m. or 8 to 9 a.m. The camp will run four days a week from Monday to Thursday inclusive June 20 to July 21 and there will be a non-refundable fee of $10 to defray the camp expenses. If you are selected for the Peace Games Team, there will be a S35 charge to cover the cost of the Peace Games Weekend. Swimmers must be at least 9 years of age to travel to the Meet. However, all swimmers must participate in the camp and all swimmers will receive a free Team Cap and goggles. All swimmers must be billetted with an Indianapolis Family.

Page 10111F NEWS POST Wed. June 1, 19M Bill Watt's Worlds -s DOWN EAST: Contrary to popular thought, family men who must travel on business don't cock around. At the conclusion of the business day, and time permitting, they usually eat and then take in a motion picture before retiring. When in Saint John, New Brunswick The Column would dine in the Harbour Room of the Royal Hotel (lamb curry. Major Grey's mango chutney, freshly baked Roval Rolls) before enjoying the current flick at the Capitol Theatre. Like most theatres in the downtown core of any ma- jor city• it had obviously been constructed as a legitimate house. What we didn't know was that it was built as such in 1913 on the site of the old Lyceum ( opened in 1857 and destroyed by the great fire of 18-11). It was originally named the Imperial Theatre and was part of the Keith-Albee circuit. In 1929• Famous Players and Keith, Orpheum ( not RACO.) leased it for mixed vaudeville and motion pic- ture programs. Later. Famous Players, Lasky purchased half interest and renamed it The Capitol. The name remained until 1967 when the theatre was sold to the Davis sisters who then gave it to the Full Gospel Assembly, a Pentecostal church. Now it has been purchas- ed by the local citizenry and reopened. fittingly. on May 24th. once again a legitimate theatre. It has been fully restored to its Edwardian grandeur and renamed ... the Imperial Theatre. It's a truly grand struc- ture and Saint John. New Brunswick has been truly grand in restoring it. What a pity that Toronto seem incapable of doing something like that instead of squandering funds on the odious Buddies in Bad Times gay theatre. ELECTION PEAR George W'alker's Nothing Sacred is not to be confused with the old Carole Lom- bard, Fredric March com- edy later made into the Broadway musical Hazel Flagg starring Sheree - How Do You Speak To An Angel' - North. (Jerry Lewis later did the motion picture version under the title Living it Up). No. Mr. Walker's play is based on Turgenev's Fathers and Sons and has played successfully in Toronto. A new production is being mounted by the Nothing Sacred Company in association with Factory Theatre. It's scheduled to open on Sept. 25th (previews from Sept. 20th) at the Winter Garden Theatre. The Ontario Ministry of Culture. Tourism and Recreation is giving a $100.000 loan to support the production. One supposes that there's little harm in a loan if the production proves suc- cessful and brings theatre dollars into the city. Still. we continue to harbour fears over the continuing infusion of funds into the arts by any government but especially a socialist one fighting desperately for survival. FOOTLIGHTS A.\D FOOD The Canadian Stage Company is the country's largest year 'round pro- ducer of not-for-profit theatre. an aim that seems vaguely disquieting and not a little at odds with the entertainment industry. Still. C.S.C. produces good theatre and, to its further credit. does it's damndest to raise as much of its operating costs as possible. All of which leads us to Feastival '94. Starting this Saturday and running through Mon- day. C.S.C. is presenting over 20 parties in as many locations featuring enter- tainment and food ranging from nosh to haute cuisine. Many have already been sold out. Of those remaining. our choice is Purttin' On The Ritz. After you arrive in a chauffeur driven Rolls Royce or Jag at Spadina House. a butler will escort you to the verandah to en- joy a view of Toronto in the gloaming while sipping champagne. 'Then, supper will be served in the East Sunroom. Black tie, of course, or late 19th century clothing if procurable. Only 20 tickets are being sold. Cost is $250 Around and About Your Dining &Entertainment Guide each. For further details and or tickets to this and all the other events, call Marion York at 367-8243. Bonne chance et bon ap- petit.

Ontario Minister of Culture, Tourism and Recreation Anne Swar- brick outlined the in- itiatives to some of the world's top travel trade journalists in Toronto recently at Rendez Vous Canada, the largest inter- national tourism trade event in this country and the cornerstone of Canada's travel trade marketing initiatives. The new initiatives are expected to result in 100,000 more overseas visitors dur- ing the next three years, who will generate an estimated $200 million in new spending in Ontario. "Eighty-two percent of travellers in Ontario live in this province. and they are very important to our tourism industry," Minister Swarbrick said. ".But we also recognize there's a great untapped potential in Europe and Japan and we are taking steps to capture that market."' Ontario will gain much greater exposure as a travel destination through its new listing onthe ..World Travel File". This computer based distribu- tion system lists major at- tractions, events and other valuable data that can be accessed by all travel agents and large reserva- tion systems worldwide. This will make it easier for visitors to make an inform- ed choice about an Ontario vacation and for travel agents to make quicker bookings. The province's new Overseas Travel Trade Manual, which contains a wealth of information, is another effective tool that will help tour operators and travel agents effectively package groups tours to Ontario. The minister also unveil- ed "Only in Ontario, Canada", Ontario's new consumer lure brochure. The brochure was based on research carried out in England, France and Ger- many. Consumers were asked what interested them about Ontario most and what they were looking for in a vacation abroad. This information was used to develop the brochure so that it would contain material that would create the most interest overseas. "We feel Ontario offers the best kind of vacation experiences available in North America," Minister Swarbrick said. "By seek- ing out the vacation preferences of Europeans through surveys and then compiling the best variety, of holiday packages in our new lure brochure, we an- ticipate an added source of revenue for the tourism in- dustry as operators con- tinue their path toward economic recovery." Public relations firms in Germany and Britain will be hired to carry out con- sumer and media relat.ionS activities in Europe. This is an extremely cost-effective approach toward building Ontario's image and infor- ming people what the pro- vince has to offer as a vaca- tion destination. "These initiatives are all part of my ministry's ex- tensive marketing cam- paign to attract visitors from Europe and Japan, and as a result, help On- tario's tourism industry in- crease its market share," Minister Swarbrick said. "They are consistent with the province's tourism sec- toral strategy which recognizes the importance of overseas markets to the long-term growth of On- tario's tourism industry. They also support the pro- vincial government's strategies for economic recovery." Heritage Waterways Now Open The 1994 navigation season on the Rideau Canal and the Trent -Severn Waterway began on May 20, the Department of Canadian heritage has an- nounced. Operated by Parks Canada, the historic canals provide recreational boaters with access to some of the most popular vacation areas within the province. The Rideau Canal allows boaters to travel from Kingston on Lake Ontario to the Nation's Capital, while the Trent -Severn Waterway affords access to the marry lakes and rivers between Trenton on Lake Ontario and Port Severn on Georgian Bay. The Department of Cana- dian Heritage is committed to the commemoration, protection and recreational use of these historic water- ways. Lockage and mooring fees for Ontario's histone canals remain the same as last year. Lockage, moor- ing and camping permits are available to boaters at lockstations along the Rideau Canal and the Trent -Severn Waterway. Senior citizens receive a 10% discount on all daily, six-day and season lockage permits regardless of boat length. This year's naviga- tion season, on both the Rideau Canal and the Trent -Severn Waterway, will continue until 4:30 p.m., Oct. 12. Wed.

Sir Robert L. Borden News Business & Technical Institute My Day of Enlightnwnt sy Angela Pozarkis On Fri. May 13th. Mr. Cvijetics law students at Borden B.T.I. went on a spectacular field trip. Our first destination was to Mount Pleasant Cemetery. It was very fascinating. I saw a lot of wonderful things. It's good to learn about the history of dead people. I really enjoyed looking at the mausoleums, they were interesting, especial- ly when we came upon Timothy Eaton's mausoleum. It was big and of course we did know that he discovered the Eaton Centre. Timothy Forton led a wonderful life until his death. We learned some of his history thanks to Brian Marines, our great tour guide. and the manager of the cemetery. Our next destination was the morgue and coroner's office. Jack Press, the public relations person at the coroner's office told us what they do and what pro- cedures they have to follow every day. He took us to the morgue where they keep the dead bodies in refrigerators. We then went into the autopsy room and there was a dead body just about to be cut up to see how death occurred. The morgue smelled awful. As we were about to leave the morgue a fresh body arrived. A doctor took us to the research lab. We saw a fetus that grew to frill term baby, but it was dead. We also saw fingers from electrocution, a human brain, something like a zombie's head, and a human ear. From there we went to the Supreme Court of On- tario. We entered and sat down to wait for the court to start, and it was like court on TV. You always stand up when the judge enters and leaves the court room to go to his chambers. The fist case was a prisoner who attempted to kill a police officer in the line of duty. The second case was a conviction for two guys who were charged with pimping and threaten- ing. The first prisoner was sentenced to four years and the other to six years because of other crimes he committed, and he was lau&ng. I had the most wonderful time on the field trip and I hope some day I can share the experiences with my own family. Bike To School Dov Wed. May 18 was designated bike -to -school day. Students and staff were urged to abandon buses and cars in favour of riding bicycles to school. Despite the cool weather. a number of Bordenites rode to benefit the environment while gaining exercise. Ball Hockey On Thurs. May 12, Borden's Ball Hockey team took second place and won a silver nidal in the Scar- borough Intermediate Boys Ball Hockey Tournament. In the first game Borden fell behind 2-0 to Eaton but carne back strongly in the second and third periods with goals by Brad Guest, Doug Page and Ken Nadon to win 3-2. Chad Scott played an excellent game in goal and held Eaton scoreless for the crucial Last two periods. In the second game pac- ed by Andrew Scott's hat trick and single goals by Doug Page and Gary Reid, Borden defeated Osler 5-0. Dan Meyers played a flawless game in net for Borden to earn a shutout. In the final game against Bendale, Borden fell behind three times but each time fought back to tie the game 3-3. Steve Hole played an outstanding game in goal to restrict Bendale to only three goals and enable the team to stay in the game until the scorers caught fire. Scor- ing for Borden to tie the score three different times were Doug Page, Dean Bezpalchuk and Brad Guest. With time running out and the score tied 3-3 Borden was forced to pull the goaltender to go for a win, because a tie would have meant a Bendale vic- tory due to the goal plus- minus differential in other games in the tournament. You know the rest. Bendale scored two open net goals to win 5-3 and take home the gold medal. However, our team is to be con- gratulated on an outstan- ding effort and on winning the silver medal. Mr. Nicholson and Mr. MacSween would also like to thank all the players and the two managers for their fine behaviour and deport- ment while at the totran- ment. They were very wor thy representatives of our school. Golf Two students from Borden did the school pro- ud by soundly defeating members of the L'Amoreaux golf team. An- drew Brooks shot an ex- cellent 89 to defeat L'Amoureaux's number one golfer. Scott Wood followed with a solid 94 to close out L'Amoreaux's number two golfer. Congratulations Scott and Andrew. Cricket Congratulations to Borden's cricket team. They represented our school at Ashtonbee play- ing Thomson in the morn- ing and Wexford in the afternoon. In both matches the scores were very close with Borden putting forth an excellent effort. If there was an award for sport- smanship. Borden would have taken it. We were pro- ud of our team, they were true gentlemen. Track &Field For the past couple of days the Borden track team has been competing in the Collegiate Scar- borough finals. The team had an excellent showing as several athletes qualified for the regional final. Best performances were had by Stephanie Dempsey as she won gold in the junior girls' javelin. An- thony Roach won silver in the senior boys' shot put, Jason Andrews won silver in the midget boys high jump and placed fourth in the long jump. Carolyn Bruce was our last qualifier as she placed fourth in the midget girls discus. The team also had a cou- ple of fifth and sixth place finishes by Jason Thomp- son and Matt Gilbey. The team will compete next week in Oshawa as they try to qualify for the Ontario Final to be held in Kitchener June 4th and 5th. Congratulations to all on a fine season and good luck to our four reamining athletes.
