Durham Education News Chairman's Remuneration to Remain at Current Level A motion to increase remuneration for the posi- tion of Chairman of the Durham Board to $30,000 was not seconded at the board table. Trustees ex- plained that it was not ap- propriate to consider such an increase during times of extreme fiscal restraint, but that it was important to recognize that the position of Chairman is very time- consuming and demanding and its remuneration is not in line with that received by other political officials at the municipal and regional levels. Santa Is Here! Chnstma,' Phot,l{ni �i ;f!�nrl Board Receives Provincial Test Results During the 1993-94 school year, grade 9 students across Ontario par- ticipated in the provincial reading and writing test. Individual results of that test were provided last spr- ing to students and their parents and preliminary province -wide results were released last June. The Durham Board received the general report on its overall and school results last week. Today, the Ministry of Education and Training released its pro- vincial report on school board results. The Grade 9 Reading and Ronald Martino and Son Funeral Directors (Formerly of West Hill) Brock Road Chapel 1057 Brock Road (just south of 4oiti Pickering Family owned and operated. f416) 680--589 Writing test was designed to indicate students' achievement in reading and writing as a result of their kindergarten to grade 8 education. The perfor- mance level of individual students was measured against provincial stan- dards based on the Com- mons Curriculum, Grades 1 to 9, drafted in 1993. The tests were marked by trained teachers using the following 6 point scale: Level 6 - Superior perfor- mance; Level 5 - Proficient performance; Level 4 - Competent performance; Level 3 - Adequate perfor- mance; Level 2 - Limited performance and Level 1 - Dependent performance. The Ministry of Educa- tion and Training's ex- pected range of student performance was from levels 3 to 5. Level 6 was considered to be beyond what would be expected of a grade 9 student and levels 1 and 2 were considered to be below expectation. Of the students who took the English language test province -wide, 90 percent performed at level 3 or above in reading and 94 percent performed at level 3 or above in writing.

Notes W lioc Committee to be -,truck Trustees will strike an V4 floc committee to ex - .,nine structures for : .,, r ent and community in - ,.:,I% ement in schools which ul d complement school !% r,ory committees and shool councils as they ex- rst or as they may be established. The board recognizes that its relationship with parents and the community currently is in a state of change and will require careful planning to enswe that par ent and community involvement is maximized for the benefit of students. Durham, these figures were 91 percent and 96 per - cent respectively. In the responses about student at- titudes, 96 percent of females and 90 percent of males provincially in- dicated they had a positive attitude about reading, compared to 95 percent of Durham females and 87 percent of Durham males. Ninety-seven percent of females and 90 percent of males provincially in- licated they had a positive attitude about writing, compared to 98 percent of Durham females and 90 percent of Durham males. We are pleased, but not necessarily satisfied, with the result of our grade 9 students," says Durham Board Program Superintendent Bev Reed - man, "this is just a snap- shot of students' perfor- mance. We need time to analyze the results thoroughly. Tt»s will be done when we receive the detailed board and school reports from the Ministry in late November or early December. " At that time, schools will prepare in-depth action plans to deal with their in- dividual results, as they did following last year's release of the 1992-93 Grade 12 Writing Review results. The results and action Trustees Colleen Jordan and Ruth Ann Scheditch were appointed to sit on the committee. Board Approves Coatnita- tion to Study The Durham Board will pay $10,000 from current funds as its 1994 contribu- tion to the study to examine the restructuring of French language public school education throughout the greater Toronto area. The study is being handed by the Ministry of Education and Training and the 6 boards of education serv- ing the students in this area. plans again will be available to parents and the community. Although the 1993-94 Grade 9 Reading and Writing test results are just being released now, the Durham Board is already under way with repeating the test for 199495. "We are anxious to increase the number of ways in which we can measure student performance. Teachers, parents and students welcome additional assess- ment information," says Assessment and Regional Services Superintendent Dave Snodden. "Par- ticipating in province -wide testing is only one of the many ways we have available to us to measure how we are delivering pro- grams and how students are receiving them. The primary purpose of testing is to help educators plan better learning programs for their students." The Durham Board is pleased that this year, some of its teachers will be part of the marking team for the provincial test. This will give the teachers broader experience in the type of marking expected on these tests and will allow them to share their expertise with staff across the system. DENTAL OFFICE, Dr.K.

Shows Success A training program to assist entrepreneurs in the start-up of new business, coordinated by Self Employment Development Initiatives I SEDi I, is showing outstanding success. in fact. best estimates indicated more than 100 percent return on investment. The Self Employment Assistance (SEA, program was launched in Metro Toronto in April. 19M to provide self employment training to those on employment in-swance who have the initiative and focus to take responsibility for the direction in which their lives are going. The program of organized training and business counselling is funded by Human Resaaces Development Canada I HRDC I . The end product is mutual responsibility. The individual ultimately comes off of unemployment insurance benefits and contributes to the economy. generating sales. paying taxes and even. in some cases. providing employment for other s. SEDI is a not-for-profit agency whose mandate is to create economic opportunities through self employment and micro - enterprise development. They, in turn. subcontract the delivery of SEA training and business counselling services to six community-based agents in Metro: Centennial College's Centre of Entrepreneurship: George Brown College Foundation's Community Business Centre: Jewish Vocational Services: Fork Business Opportunities Centre. INCA Enterprise Centre: and the Toronto New Business Development Centre. A graduate of the SEA program at Centennial College in Scarborough is a perfect example of the program's success.

Introduction of ChildNet to Ontario was announced on Nov. 4th - a uni- que, new safety identification program to provide critical information should your child be injured in an accident. Since its inception five years ago in California, the ChildNet program has met with resounding success arid support from local emergency services right up to the White House. It is the most comprehensive 24-hour child safety identification service provided in North America. It is estimated that over 2,000,000 injuries are suffered by children each year in North America. 8,000 alone being fatal. The potential for injury is enormous. "As adults we carry identification: our pets have I.D. tags; even our bicycles are registered. But, what about our kids?" says Brij Bali, president of Core Marketing International Inc. (CMi ), whose company is bringing the ChildNet safety identification program to Ontario. "It's time we took steps to protect our most precious children." ChildNet provides the services of a toll-free 24-hour Hotline that will call you, your relatives or neighbours, at home or at work, if your child is involved in an emergency situation. The child is registered with a personal identifica- tion number (PIN) and as many as six emergency contact names and telephone numbers. Fifty iron -on labels are custom printed for the child's clothing to carry the PIN number and the 24 hour 1-800 number to be called in case of emergency. The $36.00 an- nual registration fee is reduced for each additional child in the family. Without parental consent, medical personnel cannot treat an injured child. If ever a ChildNet youngster is in a posi- tion where he or she is injured and cannot speak, im- mediately the authorities can help identify the child through the PIN number on the clothing label, and locate the parents or relatives to speed up the relay of valuable in- formation. The 24 hour toll Bee AT&T number can be ac- cessed from anywhere in continental North America. All local emergency authorities are being made aware of this important new service. The trained team of operators at the ChildNet Emetgen- cy Response Centre are caring and professional people who provide vital medical and identification information to police• hospital and other authorized agencies. But, more importantly• parents can be notified of the situation im- mediately. "We can't watch over our children every moment of the day as they grow up and go off to school." says Brij Bali. "Buri, we do our best to educate them to avoid all unsafe situations. With ChildNet comes the peace of mind that help is always just a phone call away. CMI is proud to bring this safety program to Ontario."

Scarborough West Dialysis Funding Is More Good News Recently, Ruth Grier, the Minister of Health• announced an additional $10.92 million to expand dialysis services in Ontario. By expanding these existing facilities approx- imately 300 more patients can be treated. About 3,6W people need dialysis treatment in Ontario; this mechanical cleansing of blood is required by people with kidney failure who have not had a kidney transplant. Our government has also introduced programs that pro- mote prevention and we provide $1.4 million each year to promote organ donation and co-ordinate the transplant system. In June we announced $11 million to expand ex- isting facilities in central Ontario, which meant another 30o patients could be treated. The new funding goes to Hotel Dieu.

"With less than four weeks to go, United Way has raised $26 million, representing 55 percent of our target. The coming days are critical and United Way volunteers are working doubly hard to ,make our goal a reality." "The corporation campaign has gone well and we're averaging seven percent increases from corporate supporters. So far, 413 million has been raised through this sector. However, we still have to confirm some outstanding corporate gifts," Flood reported. "United Way's mail campaigns, expected to raise more than $4 million, are on track, but only 55 percent of donors who gave through the mail last year have responded so far. We need to hear from the other 45 percent of our mail donors now." The bulk of funds yet to come is from the employee sector, which traditionally raises about 57 percent of all United Way revenues. "Only 150 employee campaigns of 1,500 have been completed. The rest are in progress or sheduled to start in the next few days," Flood said. "We're optimistic because in those completed campaigns, donations have increased an average of 12.3 percent over last year. However, we still have $27 million to raise." "I would say that our collective mood is one of cautious optimism, but there is much to High Risk Groups Should Get The Shot The Ontario Medical Association is once again urging older people and others at high risk of developing serious health complications if they con- tract the flu, to see their doctor about getting a flu shot. Dr. Michael Wyman, President of the Ontario Medical Association, said. "It's very important for older people and others in high risk groups to get vac- cinated. For these people getting a flu shot every year is extremely valuable in helping prevent the development of serious, even life-threatening il- kresses.­ Wyman added that in- threnza is quite contagilow. and residents of Icing -term care facilities. and people with chronic disease are particularly vulnerable. "Getting a flu shot once a year is a very effective way to help them stay healthy dirt ing the flu season... Those who are at risk of becoming seriously ill if they contract the flu in- clude people 65 or older, in- dividuals suffering heart conditions, chronic lung conditions such as em- physema, asthma or bron- chitis, diseases such as diabetes, cancer, anemia, renal or sickle-cell disease, immunodeficiency sup- pressionand children on long-term, ASA treatment. It's also a good idea for people who care for those in high-risk groups to be vaccinated since it pro- vdes an added measure of protection. It helps these caregivers stay healthy so they can continue to look after patients," says Wyman. Wyman said individuals with an allergy to eggs should not be vaccinated since egg protein is used in the production of the vac- cine and may be present in minute quantities in the final product. "There's here's no doubt that vaccination is the single most effective way to reduce a W prevent the in- cidence of influenza. said Wyman. "Vaccination prevents about 70 per cent of hospitalizations for pneumonia and influenza among the elderly living in the community, yet only about 45 per cent of the high risk groups are vac- cinated each year. Educating the public on the effectiveness of the vaccine will go a long way toward reducing not only the in- cidence of the flu but serious illness and death." Looking For Volunteers Nov. 21 st.

Borden Business & Technical Institute With cooks earning up to $18 an hour and executive chefs earning from $35,000 to $75,000 per year, it is no wonder that Sir Robert L. Borden B.T.I. is training students in the Hospitality Field. In fact, the field of Hospitality, because of changing demographics, the higher standard of liv- ing, more recreational time and less time spent in home kitchens, now employs 900,000 people in Canada. By the year 2000, the Hospiality irxhistry will be short 200,000 personnel. At Sir Robert L. Borden B.T.I. Hospitality students are taught quantity cooking. restaurant services and the baking of bread and pastries. The quality of meals prepared by the Sir Robert L.

Borden B.T.I. Hospitali- ty Department. However, Robert Laughton has been in the Hospitality field for 17 years. For the last 10 years he was the Executive Chef at the Talisman Resort in Kimberley, Ont. and was in charge of all food production. Sir Robert L. Borden B.T.I. Hospitality students receive the training that will open kitchen doors for them when they are ready to seek jobs. Not only will there be jobs waiting for Hospitality graduates, but as Robert Laughton says, ..The best thing about being a cook is that you don't have to bring your lunch to work...

Page 10 THE NEWS POST Wed. November 16, 1994 Bill Watt's Worlds ON YOUR TOES: One usually deplores the use of absolutes but this reviewer is obliged to say that Swan Lake is one of the handful of perfect ballets. And, we suggest. no company performs it better than The National. Our guest at a recent O'Keefe performance, a regular world traveller, allowed as how it was the finest he'd ever seen. This, after returning from Prague where he had seen another company's presen- tation of the work. He fur- ther went on to sav that he didn't envy our task of reviewing a virtually flawless production of such a fine ballet. His words are still with us as we write. The best we can do is to mention individual perfor- mances: diamonds in a gold setting as it were. Rex Harrington as The Pr ince is now the most regal of the NBOC's dancers in terms of line and probably one of the strongest. His lifts are quite literally breath tak- wg Kimberley Glasco as the Swan Queen was heart tug- gi ng in emotion: tin illingin technique.

DINNER THEATRE: Reunion, the musical presently playing at Stage West, borrows heavily f r om Gr ease and tin ows in generous portions of Beehive for good rneaskae. The premise is a reunion of Rockaway High students. As is the case at reunions memories flood back and the cast becomes young again singing and dancing the young set tunes - early rock 'n' roll - of the 50s and 60s now referred to as Golden Oldies. Reunion is less a book show than a revue. Not matter: it suc- ceeds. The marquee name and main attraction is TV star Billy Hufsey. He's a good singer, fine musician 1 great drumming! ► and a dynamic dancer. He heads a cast of eight others all of whom sing and dance as well as the star. It's an uplifting ex- perience for any audience. We noted three age groups in attendance on opening night: those were young when the music was, those (like Us) who were older but appreciated it more or less and the children of the first group. All were enjoy- ing themselves. Group one was reliving the music, group two was remember- ing it and group three was rediscovering it. As noted. each member of the cast is explosive dynamite but special notice must be made of Leigh Scat r itt as Chi Chi. ( See Cha Cha in Grease). Here is a zaftig little pastry who appears to be dancing when motionless. Simply to see her is a delight: to hear her sing is a thrill. To see her dance - ballet or jazz - is to exper fence sheet star power. Reunion isn't a great work nor so intended but it's much fun and - the best of all recommendation - well worth seeing several times. (VRTAIN CALL: When attending Reunion try the frenched lamb rib chops from the bounteous buffet. Billy had a little lamb: more than a little ac- tually.

Your Column, through the kindness of the Mirvish organization caught up with him at a re- cent performance. His name is Herman Sebek and he has played the role on Broadway. So, his performance is made up equally of experience in the role and the evident ex- hilaration of playing it in such a magnificent theatre as the Princess Of Wales. It's a wonderful part and remarkably well written but even so, it has to be played skillfully. Further. there must be a commit- ment. One cannot simply walk through it. Mi. Sebek knows this and delivers an exhausting playing each time out. Is he the best of all engineers? That'd be a subjective assessment which we have no intention of making. We'll sav only as follows. If you haven't seen this towering show, for heaven's sake do so. If you have seen it, see it again with the new Engineer, Her man Sebek. You'll have - cliche com- ing up - a memorable even- ing of theatre. ON RECORD: Just received from A.&M. are Field of Gold - The Best of Stung 1964-1994 and, in two volumes on cassette. Woodstock 91.

The tour ends in Toronto on Nov. 24th at the Music Hall.

It's also on rotation on Italian National Radio and is played every 9U minutes. Heady stuff for the at- tractive young lady from Alberta. IN PRINT: One of the current top 20 television shows is Mad About You seen locally on Global TV. The co-star and co -creator is Paul Reiser who has successfully made the leap from stand up comedian in 1977 to motion picture and television popular ity. He's written a book titled Couplehood ( Bantam) and it's now on the best seller lists. Doubtless Mi. Reiser's name and photo on the cover has helped but equally doubtless it would have moved anyway. It's not hilarious - well maybe - but certainly fun- ny especially in the pic- tures he can conjure up with his clever pen. Con- sider page 161. "A lot of couples shower together.

Ltravei Northern Lights And Wildlife Show In Alaska In Alaska, winter isn't a time of hibernation - it is a season of celebration when the stars are at their brightest. One of the more interesting ways to see Alaska is under the danc- ing northern lights on board the Aurora Train. The Alaska Railroad Cor- poration has a weekly winter train departing from Anchorage chugging along the Chugach Moun- tains past views of North America's highest point, majestic Mt. McKinley, standing proud at an in- credible 20,320 feet. The train heads inland through Denali National Park with the final stop at Fairbanks during its 500 mile, 12 hour journey. Early the next morning the train heads back to Anchorage along the same scenic pathway. During the tail journey passengers will be entanc- ed by a visual display of moose, caribou, fox, wolves which can be seen foraging near the tracks. The train carries passengers within 470 miles of the North Pole. At such a high latitude, the visual effects of the aurora borealis k northen lights ) are seen at their brightest and fullest. The two unit diesel Aurora Train (nam- ed after the celestial display overhead) have large viewing windows so that everyone on boar d can watch the electrifying il- luminations streak across the sky. On some trips the lights continually shoot fluorescent curtains of blue, green, red and white above and around the train. What better way to observe the Alaskan wilderness than from the comfort of a warm self- propelled diesel car. The Aurora is a regularly scheduled weekly train ser- vice for locals and tourists alike between Anchorage and Fairbanks. Although reservations are not re- quired, they are strongly recommended. An one-way adult ticket costs $90 U.S.: tickets are available on a one-way or return basis. The Alaska Railroad Cor- poration will charter out the Aurora Train for mid- week travel between the cities and upon request, will add on a complete passenger train with dome cars and full dining ser- vice. The private charters usually include a stopover at Cheria Hot Springs, a spa northeast of Fairbanks. This 90 year old resort is famous for its mineral hot springs. thete's nothing like relaxing in warm spr ing-fed baths while look- ing out at sub -zero temper atures' Both Anchorage and Fair banks have a lot to of- fer the visitor.

Canadian Native Art At Arizona Museum Strolling into the world famous Heard Museum in Phoenix, Arizona, visitors know immediately that they are looking at a Native American art exhibit like no other. One of the showcase pieces is a str ik- ing, Canadian -made 8 -foot tall cactus constructed of Rice Krispie Treats! Toronto's Rebecca Gloria -Jean Baird is one of six contemporary Indian artists who have been in- vited to display work in the Native American line Arts Invitational show staged at the prestigious Heard Museum. Her sculpture en- titled 'KakTa'Shus', depicts an Arizona saguaro cactus against a backdrop of a sand dune on a bright sunny day. A work of art made of marshmallows, breakfast cereal and varnish im- mediately tells one that this is Native Art for the nineties! Some of the most innovative and provocative Indian art being produced in the U.S. and Canada share gallery space with KakTa'shus as part of the year long exhibition. A quilt weaved from pine needles and steel; pain- tings of Arctic Loons, Eagles and Salmons and glass carved wolves are some of the other pieces on display. The artists represented in the show are as diverse as their work. The exhibitors at the In- vitational are: Norman Akers (Pawnee) from Fairfax, Oklahoma; Rebecca Baird ( Gree, Metis) from Toron- to; Rebecca Belmore (Ojibwa) from Sioux Lookout, Ontario: Susan A. Point (Cast Salish) from Vancouver, British Colum- bia; Duane Slick (Win- nebago) from Santa Fe, New Mexico and Bently Spang (Cheyenne) from Madison, Wisconsin. This is the sixth time that the museum has curated the Invitational. It is the only fine art format for native painters and sculptors that does not follow a format of artists competing in divisions or categories for prizes. In- stead a panel of three judges select three native artists each, from applica- tions received, and asks them to supply or create work for this popular show. The museum says that the primary purpose of the Invitational exhibit is to in- troduce the art community and the general public to Native artists with great potential.

Pears" Our school was named to honour a famous Canadian diplomat and Prime Minister. Born in Toronto in 1897, Lester B. Pearson was a histor v teacher before he worked in the Department of External Affairs. He made an enor- mous contribution to world peace, and was instrumen- tal in the formation of the United Nations. He also won a Nobel Peace Prize for devising a United Nations Peace Force during the Suez Crisis in 1956. Since that time. peacekeeping forces have worked at keeping apart warring countries throughout the world. Pearson helped to establish Canada's reputa- tion as a peaceful country which tries to help resolve world conflicts. He also en- coui aged Canada's par- ticipation in the North Atlantic Treaty Organiza- tion (NATO), which he believed would keep peace. As Prime Minister from 1963-1968, Pearson helped to further Canada's identi- ty. During his term of of- fice, Canada finally adopted its own flag. Pearson understood that good relations between Canada's founding peoples, the French and the English, were crucial to Canada's future. As a result, he established the commission on bil- ingualism and biculturalism to show that the contributions of both groups must be respected. Finally. Pearson made it clear that he thought that Pierre Ti udeau should be his successor, since Ttudeau represented the aspirations of the French Canadians and would work for unity. The Pearson government or iginated the Canada Pen- sion Plan, Universal Medicare, Unified Armed Forces and Assistance for the Disadvantaged Regions of Canada. Pearson showed his strength as a leader in 1967 when he ordered home French President DeGaulle who was interfer- ing in Canada's affairs. Though an advoacate for peace. Pearson could be strong and willful when necessary. He retired to write his memoirs and study international aid. He died in Ottawa in 1962. PearsoWs School (rest Our motto, "Peace Through Understanding" is taken from Lester B. Pearson's acceptance speech upon winning the Nobel Peace Prize. The stylized human figures in the outside circle have outstretched arms, sym- bolizing understanding among the nations of the world.
