Agree- ment A tentative settlement between the Durham Board and its 2.200 elemen- tary teachers was reached June 29, 1994 without the assistance of a provincial mediator. It was ratified Sept. 16 by the teachers and Sept. 26 by the board. The agreement covers a two year period ending Aug. 31, 1995 and calls for no change to wages. allowances or benefits. Budget savings totalling =585,000 will be realized through reductions in Educational Improvement Leave funding and changes to staffing allocations resulting from attrition and growth - No teacher layoffs will result. Contract language in relation to class size guidelines and the prepaid leave plan were clarified.

October 26, 1994 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Tough Measures Needed by Bob Watson If the federal government is going to chop some billions off the deficit it should consider attacking costs which are not relative to Canadian citizens. For example. our immigration police should be changed to restrict incoming folks to our lands from living off our taxes. We believe we should only allow immigrants whom we want to come to our glorious land. The numbers of in- coming newcomers should be reduced for a few years to just 10,000 a year as we have plenty of unemployed citizens right now. However. we don't believe that the government should reduce the Canada Pension Plan or Old Age Security che- ques which millions of seniors are drawing each month. After all. these citizens have worked hard for years to reach this retirement stage - and have paid into these funds. It is time, we believe, for the government to re -assess how each federal dept. works and whether any present employee positions are really necessary for efficiency. This is how private corporations have had to move in recent time and the government should carry out the same procedure. It is important that each level of government exercise this re -assessment so our country can get into the world competition in an efficient manner. Election Signs Last comment on mur icipal election signs. Although we made an attempt on agreement to not use signs, there was not unanimity and most are forced to use them. However, the last word on whether signs are posted on private property belongs to the homeowner resident. So when we ask if we may place a sign on your property. just say "No Thanks". You will be doting everyone a favour. Signs are expensive, cost time and energy. and can become unsightly. Some candidates are placing them on city. Metro and M.O.T properties creating a coat to taxpayers because the signs must be removed by our employees. Of the hundreds of residents I have asked about signs. about 80 to 90% prefer to not use them. So when you say "No Thank You" you are in the majority. We could not attain zero -use this time, but the idea of non- use is gaining more acceptance and will be part of future elections Paul Crawford Council Candidate Scarborough Wd. 5 Hides For Hats Program Once again this fall, succesful deer hunters who return hides to a hide collection station will receive blaze orange hats. This year's hat is the second in a series of three hats and features a moose on the logo. The Union of Ontario Indians and the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR I developed this program in 1993. The program provides native artisans an opportunity to buy tanned hides or to obtain raw hides for home tanning. The hides are available through BRT Trading Ltd. Successful hunters in MNR's GTA District can collect their hat by returning their hides to Thompson Farms. 12461 Bathurst Street, one mile south of King Sideroad in Richmond Hill. Hides will be accepted from 9 a.m. until 6 p.m. Monday to Friday. This season. the ministry will operate two deer check stations to collect deer harvest information from Wildlife Management Units WNTUs No.78A and No.79B from Nov. 7 to 11 and Dec. 5 to 9. The station will be open from now until 8 p.m. The park is located in Sutton West, north of Highway 48. Members Of the Nassagaweva Community Consultation Committee will collect deer harvest information from WMUs No.79C and No.79D at the Halton Sportsmen Association on Steeles Avenue between Bell School Line and Appleby Line. The station will be open from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and 6 to 8 p.m. Nov. 7 to 11. Hunters are reminded that permission from landowners is required to hunt on private lands.

DAVID SOMERVILLE When Human Resources Minister Lloyd Axworthy re- leased his discussion paper on Canada's sociatprograms it was an ad of political courage not only by him but by the Liberal Party.

In Diner words. Canada's so- cial programmes are harming those they are supposed to help. Of course. this is not exactly starling news. Economists and other analysts have been saying muctn the same for years.

Welfare Needs Real Reform What's more, the options out- lined in the discussion paper as possible reforms to our social policies also indicate that the Liberals are prepared to at least consider making some basic structural changes. The suggestion, for instance, to fund higher education through the introduction of what amounts to a voucher system is a very positive sign. Such a system, if implemented, wouldfoster com- petition and educational excel- lence.

VON is supportive of the government's initiatives of long term care reform and a coordinated model that provides orae stop shopping for users of in-home services as efficiently as possible. but is unwilling to see a system based on inflexible rules and methods of operating. "Many of the clients we care for in Metro Toronto are vulnerable." said Fkxeen Cleary Executive Director. "and in our haste to move to a new system. we must take care not to damage a system that has served the people of Metro Toronto well for 97 years." VON believes that the Multi -Service Agency system must be flexible and built upon local community experience• and to serve local needs, while meeting provincial goals. The service delivery models and government structure for the Multi -Service Agencies must be developed by the local communities• and not decided by Bill 173, the proposed legisltation. Client services must remain organized and available and partnership models are much more supportive and constructive. This legislation is imminent. The public, service receivers and their supporters must state their views to the government immediately. Call your local MPP!

Vote For The Candidate Who Will Best Represent You Queen's Park ReDort Anne Swarbrick, M.P.P. Scarborough West jobsOntario Training It's Working It's important to keep a good thing going. That's why the provincial government is extending the life of jobsOntario Training. Employers now have until Mar. 31, 1996 to hire someone through jobsOntario Training. This unique program, operating with a minimum of red tape, has created 60.000 jobs for long-term unemployed people ( those who need jobs the most) in just over two years. Almost half the people (45%) who have found work were social assistance recipients. Other jobs are filled by long-term unemployed people with no unemployment insurance who were facing the prospect of having to apply for welfare. We've put enough social assistance recipients back to work so far with jobsOntario Training to save Ontario more than $200 Million in avoided social assistance costs. No other government program in Canada has such a low cost per participant. Despite this success, the Liberals and Conservatives have said repeatedly that they would cancel jobsOntario Training if given the chance! They can't stand to see a successful job program with the NDP's name on it, and they're willing to put politics before people by wiping out a program with 60.000 good jobs to its credit. These new, full-time jobs pay an average salary of =21,000. These jobs last long after an employer has used up the funds provided by government. Evaluation of the program shows about 90% d workers hired to date are still on staff after the training credits have been used up. No doubt about it - jobsOntario Training is a successful alternative to welfare dependence that is changing people's lives and will now continue to do so. Multi -Faith Coalition For Education Equity On Mon. Oct. 24, Mr. Justice Warren Winkler of the Ontario Court of Justice was continuing to hear the legal arguments on behalf of ten parents who are asking the Court to declare as unconstitutional the Ontario Government's discriminatory policies and practices in the public education system against Sikh. Muslim, Hindu and Christian minority faith communities. The Bal case I named for the first Sikh parent listed in the application) has supplied prod that the Ministry of Education has repeatedly refused to allow numerous parents to choose the kind of religious education they wish for their children. Opening presentations were made on Sept. 1 and 2. A major concern of the ten parents' case is the Ministry d Education's 1991 Policy Memoraridum No. 112 which prohibits the Fort Frances -Rainy River Board of Education from continuing to fund a Christian alternative school operating within the board's ju i isdiction. According to Mr. Peter R. Jervis of Lerner and Associates, —rhe Ministry's discriminatory policies and practices against minority faith communities violate the fundamental freedoms and equality rights guaranteed in sections 2(a) and 15 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms." The precedent -setting case was launched with the active support of the Ontario Multi -faith Coalition for Equity in Education. OMCEE members include spokespersons for the Ontario Council of Sikhs, the Christian Coalition for Religious Freedom in Education, the Islamic Society of North America, and the Hindu Vishnu Temple. OMCEE is dedicated to seeking educational justice, legal equality, fiscal fairness, real respect and visible tolerance in the treatment of the diverse religious views and faith - communities active in Ontario education, within and outside the tax -supported school systems. "The Ontario Government should not deprive religious minorities of their constitutional entitlements to religious freedom and fiscal equity in Ontario education," says Gerald Vandezande, the Government Relations Coordinator of the Multi -faith Coalition. "In our pluralistic society, there should be equal educational justice for all people and all faiths, including all minority faith -communities who ask for publicly -funded voluntary education programs and alternative schools that meet appropriate academic, health and safety standards and clearly comply with mutually -acceptable accountability criteria." Vandezande commented. "Allowing voluntary participation in religious education programs and alternative schools will serve to enrich the public school system rather than threaten it. Public education must accommodate all members of the public without discrimination based on religion," Vandezande added. i Give A Gift That Lasts All Year!

The ceremonies are scheduled to begin at 10:30 a.m and finish at 11:30 a.m. This year is historic in its relationship to the momen- tous events of 50 years ago when the beginning of the end of World War 11 was precipitated by the inva- sion of Normandy. Nunmerous events marking that and other battles have been held across Canada and in Europe this year. As a part of the ' Canada Remembers" progoram, this ceremony focuses na- tional attention on these as well as the sacrifices made by Canadians in World War 1, the Korean War and United Nations peacekeep- ing operations.

It serves to provide all Canadians with the opportunity to remember the sacrifice made by 114,000 men and worsen who have died in the military service of their nation in war. Mrs. Wilhelmina Baerr, 102, of Yorkton. Saskat- chewan, will be among the dignitaries taking part in this year's ceremony. She is the 1994 "Silver Cross Mother".

Alan MacKenzie has an- nounced his candidacy for public school trustee in Scarborough's Ward 1. "Like many of my neighbors, I'm unhappy about the education our For Full Corrtmih wft & Epwienm RE-ELECT Doug Beatty Yaw SCafbOr * R"C Ut y Cofnmiwmler children receive and about the level of taxes we pay to support it," he says. "Parents are shut out of the current system and that has to change. These are our children, our schools and our tax dollars. It's time the system respected it. "I want to see volunteer parent advisory councils in every Scarborough public school and I want those councils to have real power in areas that matter in- cluding hiring, curriculum and discipline. Parent councils are working elsewhere and they'll work well here." MacKenzie also wants to change what he calls the board's "out of control" budget process and says he was amazed to learn more than 43 percent of the board's 8,300 employees work outside the classroom. "It's no wonder we seem to pay so much and receive so little," MacKenzie says. He believes local control of local schools would permit deep cuts in the board's head -office bureaucracy and that this would result in more money for the classroom and lower taxes for everyone. "We might find we don't need the Scar- borough board at all," he optimistically notes. "I wouldn't fight to keep it." Effective immediately, MacKenzie says he'd re- quire board bureaucrats to justify every dollar they Worrick Russell Wants Metro Councillor City Centre Post Community activist, mediator and youth ad- vocate, Worrick Russell. has registered as a can- didate for Metro Coun- cillor, Scarborough City Centre which covers Scar- borough wards 4, 5, and 6. ..it is time elected politi- cians take responsibility for the challenges within the community." says Russell.

Russell, an active volunteer in Scarborough over the years received a community service award from the (,Sty of Scar- borough and the Canada 125 Award. He was a former member of the city's Environmental Ad- visory Committee. board member and now advisor to the Friends of Scar- borough, board member for the Second Base Youth Shelter, Executive Chair for the Caribbean and African Chamber of Com- merce, member of the On- tario Association of Family Mediators, mentor for youths at a collegiate and a member of several Com- munity Service Organiza- tions.

He is also a certified Profes- sional Agrologist with On- tario Institute of Agrologists. Russell is currently employed as a public ser- vant after working for nine years with Metro, and a part time business consul- tant. He knows what is wrong and believes that people should not have to be putting up with fancy political talks when there are things to be done and the taxpayers continue to feel the "pain". He feels he will bring new thinking and new ap- proaches to resolve ongo- ing problems while representing Scarborough Taxpayers. Settatree Wants To Be Ward 5 Councillor Bill Settatree is seeking election as councillor for Ward 5 an Scarborough Council. Bill has been a resident of Scarborough for more than 24 years. For much of that time he was active in his own community association in Midland Park and has worked together with members of the various associations. within Ward Five. He con- tinues to be an active voice in the community. With Marilyn Mushinski's decision to run for mayor, Bill Settatree has been approached by residents throughout the ward asking him to put his name forward as the logical successor at coun- cil. He's a community fighter and has demonstrated his will - to devote many hours to ensure that Scar- borough residents are fair- ly treated. He's a member of the Ci- ty Council appointed "Ac- tion Scarborough! " com- mittee - a special group of leading citizens charged with responsibility for co- ordinating a number of in- itiatives to improve the community's image and in- still Aide in the residents of our municipality. Bill pledges to work for a better community. One that is safer for all its residents and one which holds promise for the future. Mr. Settatree has been active in civic affairs in the ward since founding the Midland Park Residents Association im 1975. He served as that association's president for many years and has worked closely with other community associations in the ward on numerous projects and issues of importance including fair taxation. zoning and planning. police and public safety. I ecr ration and the ennvirorutierit. Bill has a varied career in radio. newspaper. Chamber of Commerce and the corporate business world. He was employed by Ontario Hydro for 23 years (until last November) in various corporate affairs capacities. From 1975 to 1718 he was seconded from his regular duties to work with a Provincial Government Task Force overseeing utility restructuring in the province. The task involved working with local study teams, community groups and municipal and provincial politicians in the Regional Municipalities of Waterloo. Niagara. Peel and York. He wants to see a more aggressive campaign to attract business and development to Scarborough and says "Yes. I'm pro development. We need it desperately to strengthen the tax base and ease the burden on Return Joe DEKORT City Councillor Ward 14 When»A by the CFO for tin Jaa 09K61 eMPOP residential taxpayers. The large number of empty stores and warehouses we see day in and day out is proof positive that our municipality needs to work harder to attract business as the recovery from the recession takes hold." —Dere are two large buildings in Ward Five right near the city centre which are being demolished so the owners can pay less tax. These are McGraw Hill and State Farm Insurance. Why hasn't the city been more aggressive in seeking out new business and industry so that buildings like this could have been put to productive tae'" Bill believes that negative perceptions of Scarborough have hurt economic development and real estate values. "We have to change the image. Scarborough is a wonderful community in which its residents should take pride." he says. He notes that Scarborough's Bi - Centennial will be celebrated in 1996. He would like to see an effort made now to start on a cultural centre for the city as part of the celebrations, with developers, business and public contributions covering the costs. "For as long as my family and I have been living here the city has been talking about it and it has never come about. North York has one but Scarborough can't seem spend starting from zero each year. While trustees claimed a six percent cut- back for 1994, this was only in relation to 1993's budget, rat to actual spending. So, for example, while claim- ing to meet his six percent reduction target, the direc- tor of education actually gans to spend more to run s office in 1994 than he did last year. MacKenzie says the only ,unajor cutback he could find was a reduction of $3.5 million for planned sum- mer maintenance. "We'll pay for this 'saving' many times over," he predicts. Parent councils and responsible budgeting are only first steps, MacKenzie claims. "I want to see in- creased academic expecta- tions for every Scar- borough student and to make sure we provide all the necessary resources - including safe schools - to let them meet those higher expectations." And, he says, the only way to judge success will be through a tougher standardized test system with school results published openly in the community. "Whatever voters decide, the current situa- tion is not an option. People have had it with our mediocre education system and everyone knows we've hit the wall on spending. If we make the right choices, I'm convinced we can end up with better schools and lower property taxes. "In the end, our schools should be run by the people who use them and pay for them. That's why I'm runn- ing for trustee and that's wfiy I'm asking for the sup- port of ward 1 voters on November 14." to get motivated. A cultural centre will go a long way towards stimulating development and creating a sense of pride in the city," he says. Bill is concerned that Scarborough residents be given a fair deal. He believes the city has been short changed on a rarriber of fronts including the extension of the Transit Services, business development and policing. "Right now I'm told the Scarborough police district is 70 officers short. Our citizens shouldn't have to suffer in police protection because of budgets. I'm tired of our city playing second fiddle to the rest of Metro and i think most residents would agree," he said. He says that infighting between various factions of the present Council has slowed progress in municipal growth. "We need a council that works as a team to boost our city not divide it. I will work for a positive team atmosphere at City Hall," declared Bill Settatree. Elect BILL SETTATREE your Councillor for Ward Five The right choice ... The right results. Call Bill at 752.2259. He's listening and will work for you. Authorized by the CFO for the Bill Settatree campaign. Lester B. Pearson Cl News SAFE SCHOOLS POLICY With violence on the in- crease in society, there is a growing need to ensure that Scarborough Public Schools continue to be safe and secure environments for learning. We believe that Scar- borough students and staff have the right to learn and work in schools where they feel safe. We also believe that the board and its ad- ministrators must make every reasonable effort to ensure that this right is upheld. To this end the Scar- borough Board of Educa- tion has adopted a zero tolerance policy on violence and weapons in our schools. The policy clearly sets out the conse- quences for students who jeopardize the safety of other students and staff. While our schools will continue to promote non- violent means of conflict resolution through the cur- riculum and a wide range of special programs, we cannot and will not tolerate acts of violence or the use or possession of weapons.

Other major scorers were Michelle Dixon, Patricia Dawkins and Stephanie Bloye. On the same day the Bengal senior girls bsket- ball team clawed the Cedarbrae Colts by a 48-25 score. After a listless open- ing quarter the Bengal girls stopped purring, started roaring. and put the Colts away. Shari Samuels played an outstanding game at point guard. She handled the ball well, passed beautifully and scored 21 points to lead all scorers. On Oct. is the senior girls ran their season record to 4 and 0 with a convincing vic- tory ietory over Thomson C.I. 'Nailing 12-11 after the fust quarter the girls pressed and hustled and outscored Thomson 19.3 in the second quarter, to break the game wide open. The final score was Pearson 46 and Thom- son 31. Tatum Prince led the scoring with 16 points, Melanie Hunt added 9, Saren Williams and Tardi Hamilton added 8 points each. Well done girls. Football In football action on Oct. 12 Pearson's superb defense prevented Laurier from crossing our goal line. Led by Dragi Ristevski and Jim McNally, the Bengals completely stalled Laurier's potent scoring machine. Unfortunately Pearson's normally capable offense created two turnovers which led to a 14 to 0 defeat. On Oct. 18 the Bengals defeated the Cedarbrae Colts 38 - 18. This exciting game was highlighted by the play of Dragi Ristevski who rushed for over 150 metres and scored 2 touchdowns. Single touchdowns were scored by Jason Gulozian and Adrian Neely on passes from Rick Genereux. Bruce Lee scored on a great intercep- tion and Alex Dulevksi pounced on a fumble to score the final touchdown. Outstanding defensive play came from Jeff Lomer, Perry Mo, Paul Kirouac and Jason MacFarlane. Field Hockey The Pearson girls field }hockey team continues to be awesome and now is in first place in their division. On Tues. Oct. 11 Pearson played Agincurt and Shan- non McLerie scored the on- ly Pearson goal to win 1-0. It is the only goal scored on .Agincourt this year. The girls field hockey steam continues to dominate the league with another win against L'Amoreauux on Oct. 12.

October 86, 1991 Bill Watt's Worlds ON RADIO: Like almost everything else in modern society, radio broadcasting has become specialized and most stations that include music in their programm- ing play only certain kinds. What's called country music is wildly popular. It's simple, though not easy, in construction and seemingly naive in presen- tation. Stix hix luv it and ci- ty slickers appreciate it. So, given the popularity of Country and the fight for advertising dollars directed toward its large audience, it's not surpris- ing that there are more and more urban radio stations joining rural stations in playing it exclusively. Among those advertisers is Craven A Ltd. which presents Today's Country. Radio Network nationally in cooperation with the Canadian Country Music Association. Here in Toron- to, Today's Country is car- ried on CISS-FM (92.5) on Saturdays at 8 p.m. Your Column attended recently at the Craven A Theatre (Electricimages Studios) for a production session. Toby Keith was the main attraction. He was preced- ed by the attractive Van- couver based trio known as Farmer's Daughter and by the Master Songwriters who discussed and per- formed their best known songs. The Masters are Jill Collucci. Jon Ve=er. Pal Alger and Kostas. The show was put together in manner most enjoyable for the studio and radio audience alike. In fact, we suspect that many listeners tape the shows for future rehear- ings. We're not sure if that's legal but equally sure that it's hard to pre- vent. You didn't read that here did you. Anyway, tune in Today's Country if you're a Country fan. Tune in even if you think you're not. You soon will be. ON W: Older readers will recall a popular tune from the early talkies titled The Wedding Of The Painted Doll. It reappeared in Singin' In The Rain in 1952. In a manner of speaking it might well be recalled next Tuesday on CHCH-TV at 9 p.m. That's when you'll see Bionic Breakdown: The Return Of The Six Million Dollar Man And The Bionic Woman. ( The title's almost as long as the program) . Yes. Lee Majors and Lindsay Wagner are back and will be married. Presumably this could be a pilot and if so. will the two have children in later episodes? If they do, what will they be? Wind-up toys? All the regulars from the previous two series will be back including Richard Anderson as Oscar Goldman. Mr. Anderson is. or was. the son-in-law of the late Alan Ladd and brother-in-law of Cheryl Ladd who appeared on Charlie's Angels as did Farah Fawcett who was once wed to Lee Majors. Gets complicated doesn't it. The next evening. Global TV begins a second season of Madison: that's as in Madison High School. To prepare the new season Forefront Produc- tions interviewed teenagers for their thoughts and opumoas of the show. Their feedback Around and Aboui Your Dining &Entertainment Guide was instrumental to deter- mining the direction of the next 26 episodes. Some of the themes to be dealt with are death, les- bian relationships, en- vironmental activism and parental infidelities. Madison is a good show and well worth watching. Still, we find ourself think- ing, and not wistfully, about our own teen years when, like all of our friends, we hadn't time to worry over self-evident ,facts of life. We were too busy working to pay for our studies. Thursday morning after at 11 Family Channel presents the exclusive world television premiere of Mighty Machines. It's a charming series in which children are taken beyond the imaginary world of play boxes to, for example, the seat of a bulldozer or the Captain's chair of a cargo ship. Episodes in the series will include "hands on" visits to quarries, har- bours, fire halls and the like. Even we might watch it to find out "Why is the giant shovel digging fides ON RECORD: Julie Masse is being touted as the next sintging sensation to come out of Quebec. Having garnered virtually every possible performing award there, the young lady is now ready for the rest of the world Circle Of One on the Surge label is her debut album to English. It was recorded in Los Angeles, New York and Toronto as well as Morin Heights. Corey Hart wrote and ar- ranged five of the songs and produced seven of the ten tracks. Michel Cor- riveau produced the other three. Top session musi- cians have been employed including some who've worked with John Mellen - camp, Peter Gabriel, Sting, Michael Jackson, Joe Cocker, Triumph and The Rolling Stones. Four Tracks were mixed by Humberto Garcia and the remainder by Patrick Dillett. The former has worked with Michael Jackson and Barbra Strei- sand, the latter with Mariah Carey. So, M'selle Masse has had the very best of pro- duction values. Has it worked'. Will the album be successful? Probably. To our ears she sounds like other standard soft shouters but the ar- rangements are solid and the beat. definite. We haven't seen her perform but have the feeling she's better in person than on record. Even so, Circle Of One shuld take off. It might not be a bullet but sales should be respectable. Some have asked about The Heifetz Collection mentioned in an earlier col- umn.

Witches and ghosts, goblins, black cats and pumpkins. Who Because the spookiest holiday of the year is drawing near - Hallow•een! And the spook- ier the better! In fact, the ghoulish superstitions and customs associated with Hallowccn havc made it into one of the most widely-ccic- brated holidays of the wear. Today's Halloween offers something for cvcryonc. No longer just for kids, families are getting involved during this spooky season and plan- ning creative and fun activi- ties for all ages, anytime during the harvest month of October. Whether it is host- ing Halloween celebrations for family and friends, or decorating in and around the house, Halloween is becom- ing more of a home-based holiday filled with as much scary excitement as ever. Seasonal decorating in particular has become a very common way to begin Halloween festivities well before October 31st. For many. Halloween -time pro- vides an ideal opportunity to indulge in the spookier side ,of life and Halloween deco- rating helps create the per- fect mood for all of the sea- son's haunted fun. In response to this trend, for the second year in a row, Regal Greetings & Gifts is offering Canadians a ghoulish assortment of unique ideas for decorating and fun at Halloween. 'Spooktacular'. Regal's 1994 Halloween catalogue features a number of sfxxikv products including a 7 -piece pumpkin carving set with six traditional designs and carving tools to help create the best -carved pumpkin on the block. a 14-pKCe indoor Hallowccn light set of pumpkins and skeletons that add a spooky glow to any Hallowccn activity: and a set of six flying ghosts that can hang from trees, the porch or indoor fixtures. All of the 'Spooktacular' items are geared towards giving a home that "haunted house" look this Hallowecn! While many may think of Halloween activities as a re- cent phenomena, they actu- alh date hack hundreds of years. According to Regal Greetings & Gifts, every vear many look forward to celebrating the Halloween holiday yet few people actu- ally know the history behind its original traditions and customs. In order to help Canadians learn more about this annual 'ghoulish' event. Regal Greetings & Gifts has compiled the following facts and background about Halloween and its best- known traditions: What does the word "Halloween" mean? 'Halloween' means 'holy' or 'hallowed' evening and falls on October 31st, the evening before 'All Hallows' or 'All Saints Day' (the day that Christians honor their saints). '"'here did the holiday originate? Today's Hal- loween traditions actually stem from an early pagan harvest festival that fell on the last day of the year on the old pagan calendar, Oc- tober 31st. Historians tell us Halloween day served a triple purpose: bidding good-bye to summer; wel- coining winter: and remem- hering the dead. "'bat is the history be- hind 'trick -or -treating*? Trick -or -treating began hundreds of years ago as an Irish custom. It is believed that on All Souls Eve (all Hallows-Evc) groups of Irish farmers, children and the poor would go from house to house begging for hand-outs or 'soul cakes' (the term used for food given out on this night). Today, trick -or -treating is perhaps the best-known and most -practiced Halloween activity. Each October, children right across Canada dress up in fun and colourful costumes and go door-to- door in search of Halloween candy and other treats ! Why do children dress up in costumes at Hal- loween? Custom states that when children used to go begging for 'soul cakes' or food on Halloween, they would often dress up in each other's clothes (boys wear- ing girls clothing and vice versa). Additionally, some children and adults wore masks to participate in the activities. How do ghosts and goblins fit in with Hal- loween? On this special night, it was believed that spirits and ghosts of those who had died were allowed to walk about. Based on this belief. one of the important customs in the ancient ob- servance of Halloween was the lighting of great bonfires on hilltops, done to offer a warm welcome to good spir- its and to provide protection against evil spirits released on this night. What is the significance of the pumpkin? To protect their homes from the evil spirits on Halloween, people began hollowing out turnips and pumpkins (symbols of the harvest), and placing lighted candles inside to scare spirits from the house. These pumpkins became known as Jack -O -Lanterns after the tale of an Irish man named Jack who had played practical jokes on the devil and was condemned to wander around the world carving a lantern to light his wav! What does Halloween mean today'' Like many traditions, Halloween is a celebration that has changed with the times. Gone for ex- ample, is the idea that the holiday is a one-night event for kids only. Today's Hal- loween has developed bey- ond the customary trick -or - treating into a whole season of spooky fun in which young and old alike can take part in a variety of old and new traditions. Today, Hal- loween means dressing up in fun and colourful costumes, transforming our homes into spooky retreats and taking part in seasonal activities with family and friends.

Black Light Theatre Of Prague presents Alice In Wonderland Blue Light Theatre of Prague, the Czech answer to Disney, comes to Massey Hall Nov. 1 through 5 with a spellbinding version of Lewis Carroll's immortal classic, Alice in Wonderland. This adaptation of Alice in Wonderland is told without words. Unlike other black light theatres who only use puppets as characters, Black Light Theatre of Prague also in- corporates actors and dancers into the most in- tegral roles. Music is also of central importance. With some two tons of props, the ensemble of 17 magically create Col- orful fantasies that bring to life one magical illusion after another. Black Light Theatre of Prague is recognized as the world's leading black light ensemble, a forerunner of Toronto's own Famous People Players. The com- pany was created in 1961, after founder director and composer Jiri Srnec became inspired by the sight of long underwear flapping on a clothesline. Saler found that by hav- ing his performers com- pletely clothed in black, moving against a black backdrop, the objects they waved could be illuminated by ultra -violet light and so appear to float and fly. Alice In Wonderland was first seen in West Germany in 1989, coincidentally the same day the Velvet Revolution began bringing about the fall of com- munism in Czechoslovakia. It had its UK premiere at London's Sadlers Well's Theatre for three weeks in January. 1993. This enchanting produc- tion is quality entertain- ment for the whole family from pre school children to grandparents. Performances at Massey Hall are Tues. Nov. 1st, Thurs. Nov. 3 and Fri. Nov. 4 at 7 p.m. and Sat. Nov. 5 at 2 and 7 p.m. Tickets are $19 and $16.

There are over 300 selections including Concerti, chamber music, sonatas and miniatures. All have been digitally reritasiered. Among the other artists included here are Gregor Piatigorsky, Artur Rubins- tein, Benno Moseiwitsch and even Bing Crosby who sings two songs with gorgeous ibligatas by Mr. Heifetz Conductors include Ar- turo Toscanini, Fritz Reiner. Charles Munch. Eugene Ormandy and Sir Thomas Beecham. What a battle of musical wills there must have been bet- ween Toscanini and Heifetz: but what results' Volume 22 is especially enjoyable. It features showpieces by Lalo, Saint Saens, Sarasate and Chausson. the pianist is Solomon O.B.E. and the conductor is William Steinberg. ( When the latter was conductor of the Buf- falo Philharmonic, pianist Oscar Levant would call him Buffalo Bill). The set, on the RCA Vic- tor Gold Seal label, comes with a special collector's booklet and an individually numbered commemorative medal. This is a "must have". ON STAGE: The Black Light Theatre of Prague returns to Massey Hall from Nov. 1st through the 5th with Alice In Wonderland. Recognized as the world's leading black light ensemble, the company was created in 1961 by Jiri Srnec after, it has been said, he was inspired by the sight of long underwear flapping on a clothesline. It sounds kinky but the presentations of the resul- tant company are quite ttnemorAble.. wholesome. LN HOUSE: Hallowe'en, with all its black and creepy things will soon be upon us and Mary Arsenault sends along word of Creepers currently at Simooe Hall, Settlement House in Oshawa. Open from 5 to 10 p.m. on weekdays; 2 to 10 Saturday and Sunday, Creepers is a haunted house presetation involving 25 monsters in ten rooms and a refresh- ment area that features Bat Blood and Devil Dogs. There are many other scanies but by now you should have an idea of what's in store at Creepers. Best of all is the fact that this is a charitable event to raise money for the '94 United Way Campaign. Bat Blood and Devil Dogs? Sounds like tomato juice and chili dogs to us. Either way, it's just as scary. IN CONCERT: The New Star-Scape Singers will perform the newly revised Fire Mass this Saturday evening at the Glenn Gould Studio. Kenneth Wills, who is co - composer with Christopher Dedrick, will conduct. The program will begin with a recital by Polish pianist Ewa Bukojemska who will perform works by Chopin, Zarebski and Paderewski. You are reminded that the concert begins at 7:30. COMMENT: Of course Arnold Minors is a poltroon but what is Susan Eng with her air of outrage over his latest in- discretion? It seems to us that she's at best an oppor- tunist and at worst an outright hypocrite after the way she has treated a fine police force and its chief. C'mon Suzy, get a life. You surely don't think anyone believes you're tru- ly outraged do you? FAST EXIT: "Ring out the old, ring in the pew".

Stairway Tours To San Francisco Attractions What's cheaper than a fitness centre, better than the view from the Golden Gate Bridge. and just as historic as a cable car? With more than 300 stair- ways scattered Ouioughout San Francisco, visitors need only don walking shoes and grab a camera to find out that the answer is stairway walks, one of the city's oldest and most scenic, albeit hidden, at- tractions. San Francisco's myriad stairways range from the local flights of steps hidden by trees and small gardens to the dramatic, carefully landscaped stairs found in more widely travelled places, such as the famous ..crooked" Lombard St. Their vast number stems from the fact that San Francisco is built on more than 40 hills. Stairways are also more frequently used than one might think. Stairways allow direct vertical access from one street to another, and since most streets wind around hills, people fre- quently use the stairways as a shortcut. Pick almost any stair- way in the city to visit, and one should not be disap- pointed. At Broadway and Lyon Streets, one can take a stroll down more than ten flights of majestic stone steps that are surrounded by well -kept greenery and regal views of the Palace of Fine Arts, San Francisco Bay and the Marin Headlands. This is one of the city's most beautiful districts, with trees from the historic Presidio rising tip on one side and rows of ornate mansions stretching away on the other. Further east are the Greenwich Street Steps at the base of Coit Tower, a climb of more than three Volunteer separate flights of stairs. Despite its length, this stairway is worth every n ioute of the climb. It winds its way through tall trees, hillside gardens and past some of the best local area views of San Fran- cisco Bay. Benches and wide stone railings are available at intervals on the hill for those who need to rest or just want to enjoy the spectacular view. On the other side of the city, high above San Fran- cisco Bay and overlooking Alcatraz, the small clear- ing at the top of the Fort Mason Aquatic Park Steps features a refresh» ng air of peace. Looking around at the grassy hills, the smat- tering of picnic tables, and trees waving in the strong wind, one would never know this area was built on military battle platforms dating back to the Civil War. This battery, named Black Point Lookout, was one of several created to defend the Bay from hostile ships and later, aircraft. "No other city in the United States has these kinds of stairways," said Adah Bakalinsky, author of Stairway Walks in San Francisco. "Only by walk- ing do you really get to know the city, and we can do more walking between streets." Each stairway walk of- fers a trek through a neighbourhood with a solid ground in San Francisco history. For example, Rus- sian Hill, once home to ar- tists and writers, still features houses designed in the early 1900s by ar- chitects Julia Morgan, Ber- nard Maybeck and Willis Polk. Forest Hill was T 8 M DANISH BAKERY & DELI 2879 Kingston Rd. For NM angst hesh baked breads, buns. awflkrs. cookbw Danish Pastries, mast cabs, sausage rolls. rile--- and meat cool cuts.
