Gond Edition (CAT 2). The

tion received the general
report last week. In-
dividual results of the test

December and January to
parents.
Testing took place in
partnership with the
Halton. Lakehead and
North York Boards of
Education. Durham
students were compared
against national and
regional norms for com-
prehension, spelling and
language expression.
In the spring of 1995, a
public report will be releas-
ed by the Assessment con-
sortium partners following
a second assessment of
literacy skills using the
CAT 2 for samples of the
grades 3, 5 and 7 student
populations in the member
boards. The information
provided in the detailed
analyses for each student,
school, area and the region
will assist teacher and
school planning.
Parents and staff will be
surveyed in early 1995 to
help determine the
usefulness of the CAT 2
results. The CAT 2 com-
pares student achievement
by ranking students
against a reference group
of 50,000 students from
across Canada. Such tests
are commonly referred to
as norm -referenced tests.
The CAT A2 currently is
the most widely used,
norm -referenced test in
Canada. This test is con-
ducted under standardized
conditions in order to en-
sure reliable results. Scor-
ing is done by the Canadian
Test Centre.
Results show that
Durham Board of Educa-
tion students performed
above the national average
for student achievement
for all literacy sub -tests
( reading, spelling and
language expression) at all
grade levels tested (grades
3, 5 and 7).
These results are similar
to the above -provincial
average achievement
demonstrated by Durham
Board of Education grade 9
students on the Ministry of
Education and Training's
recent test of reading and
writing. Interpretation of
results from standardized
tests should recognize the
range of social, cultural,
and economic factors
which affect students,
teachers and schools.

No Way Quebec!
by Bob Watson
The current attempt by the Province of Quebec to become
independent from Canada is ridiculous! In our opinion no
Canadian province can separate from Canada without the
approval of the Canadian federal government. We wish so-
meone at Ottawa would point this out to the Quebec provin-
cial government.
According to what we hear. the premier of Quebec is tell-
ing his constituents that after separation Quebec residents
will keep their Canadian citizenship. and the use of our
Canadian currency. No doubt. Quebec will want to keep
receiving the billions from Ottawa for its financing.
All of this is completely ridiculous: After separation Ot-
tawa should remove Canadian citizenship from all Quebec
citizens living in that province. Quebecers could use our
Canadian dollars but will have no control of the currency.
And there would be no billions of dollars to fund affairs in
the separated province.
Even if Quebec separates. its government has no power
to control the demands of the native Canadians living in
that province. Native leaders have indicated at the last
separation attempt that they will want to take a sizeable
area of Quebec into their hands.
As a province of Canada, Quebec does yen• well. Most of
our Prime Ministers have been Quebecers and it would
seem more likely that those of us who are not Quebecers
should be complaining at the loss of leadership in Canada's
government to Quebecers.
This country needs a strong• active federal government.
Our problems right now are not political - they are
economic and financial. Let's get our debts reduced and
financial affairs back to normal.

There are two important points the government does not

proposed. will work more efficiently and cost less than the
current system. Second. the government's intention is to

Shame On Frank Knight
To The Editor:
Shame on Frank Knight for his letter appearing in the
Scarborough News on November 2n.
In an utter display of ignorance. Mr. Knight implied that
some similarities exist between Adolf Hitler and Josef
Stalin. and the trustees of the previous Scarborough Board
of Education. What a disgusting comparison! Hitler in-
stigated World War II and engineered the murder of
millions of Jews, while Stalin personally ordered the depor-
tation and execution of millions of his people.
On the other hand, the previous trustees voted
themselves a controversial raise, and then tried to cut off
debate on the matter: actions which, although many
residents disagreed with them (and showed this by electing
new representatives), were a far cry from the suffering in-
flicted by either Hitler or Stalin. I think that war veterans.

The Wages Of Sin
by Sam,1. Apelbaum
The public has become increasingly unhappy about what is
seen as excessive compensation and benefits which our
elected politicians have over time awarded to themselves.
An area of particular disgruntlement is that of their very
generous pensions to which thev have become entitled after
only it brief time in public office.
It seems that the attacks on the compensation received by
politicians have their source in the public perception that
politicians are. for the most part. incompetent, self-serving
and dishonest persons. This dim view of politicians is.
unfortunately, for the mnst part well deserved by them.
There are undoubtedly some current politicians w•ho are
persons of principle and integrity. but. they seem few in
number.
The enormous scope of government taxation, control
and interference with economic and social life provides great
scope for political corruption. Under these conditions, the
dispensation of favours by politicians is necessary for their
electoral success.
However. there is no point in penalizing politicians for such
behaviour through cuts in their compensation which.
incidentally, would increase the temptation for them to
advance their financial interests through political favours.
The solution to unprincipled behaviour by politicians is to
bring government back to its fundamental purpose of
maintaining law, order and physical security. The
consequence of this will he that. firstly. the room and
incentive for political corruption will be greatly diminished.
and secondly. any political corruption which does in fact
occur will he more readily discerned. Under these
conditions, principled behaviour by politicians is more likely
to he rewarded by electoral success.
Government serves an important role and our elected
representatives are responsible for its functioning. Thev are
in leadership positions and should be well compensated for
devoting their time to government service. We should be
seeking to elevate the quality of political life rather than
simply seeking to punish politicians for their transgressions.
Breaking Through Barriers
Breaking Through Barriers: Forging our Future" is a
key message and the title of a report submitted to industry
Minister John Manley and Finance Minister Paul Martin by
representatives of Canada's small and mediuun sized enter-
prises 1 SMEs ) .
The report was prepared by the Small Business Working
Committee appointed in the Spring by the federal govern-
ment to advise on what action should be taken to ensure
continued small business growth in Canada. The Commit-
tee consisted of a wide range of representatives dir•aw•n from
small and medium sized business across Canada.
The report addresses, in the Committee's view, the
significant challenges confronting Canadian SMEs as they,
approach the 21st century, including: government debt and
deficits. the level and complexity of the tax system: access
to debt and equity financing. regulatory and paperburden.
the need for more commercialization of technology: acgwr-
ing the proper skills for managers and workers: and ensur-
ing more SMEs export.
The Committee believes that the recommendations in the
report constitute a package of workable, common sense in-
itiatives that can make a positive difference to the growth
of Canadian small businesses. Where the Committee
recommerxi d incentives. it was with the understanding
that the incentives should be paid for from savings realized
by reduction and rationalization of existing government

survivors of Hitler's holocaust, or survivors of Stalin's
purges must be outraged by this trivialization of the human
tragedy caused by these two trvrants. I know that personal -
1v 1 was greatly offended.
In a further display of insolence. Mr. Knight chastised
those residents of Scarborough who cast votes for incum-
bent school board trustees running for re-election. While
claiming that the previous Board "took away (his) rights to
free speech" he himself violated the rights of 21.250 of his
fellow Canadians by intruding into what is a personal and
private decision. We have the right to select, free from any
judgments or interference, whichever candidate we desire
and for whatever reasons we choose. Those voters who cast
ballots for their incumbents were well within their rights to
do so, and had good reasons for making their choices.
In this day of voter apathy• most notably at the municipal
level• all of those who took the time to vote should be
sincerely congratulated. Scarborough had a fairly high tur-
nout, upwards of 3:3%. Instead of discouraging people from
participating in the political process, Frank Knight should
be encouraging them.
I offer sincere congratulations to all of the 114,556 people
who voted on Nov. 14, and also to the 163 candidates who
waded into the political arena.

About Power Of Attorney
I am shocked and disgusted at the tactics that continue to
be used to scare seniors into spending unnecessary money on
lawyers for new Powers of Attorney' Living Wills.
1) Contrary to what your article states. the new Act
actually makes it easier for families or friends to apply to he
guardians if their loved one becomes incapacitated with no
Power of Attorney in place. Under the current law. the
family would have to go to court. Under the new law. the
family can readily apply to the Public Guardian and
Trustee's office to become the substitute decision -maker.
This process will be less costly and time-consuming than a
court application.
21 The new Act also adds the opportunity of creating a
Power of Attorney for decisions about personal care - which
was not possible under the old legislation.
3) The Substitute Decisions Act was some 10 years in the
making, and was passed by the Ontario Legislature with the
unanimous support of all parties. If it had any negative
features, don't you think at least one MPP would have
dissented?!
4) It has always made sense to have a Power of Attornev in
place. The new legislation encourages people to think about
doing so ahead of incapacitation. but no one must do a Power
of Attorney before the Act comes into place, or afterwards
for that matter.
5) There are Power of Attorney kits available free of
charge in my office which may be completed entirely by the
applicants. They have been written so clearh that
people may wish to save themselves the cost of a lawyer by
completing the forms themselves. Anyone wishing a free kit
or further information may call me at 69110967. their own
MPP. or the Public Trustee's Office (which is increasingly
effectively under our administration) at 314-2989. Of course.
after they read the kit. if they still wish to pay a lawyer for
further advice. that is their right.
I thank you for this opportunity to set the record straight.
to help alleviate the needless concerns being caused to
seniors and. possibly, to save them hard-pressed dollars.
New Ontario Bill Will Save
Badly Needed Retail Jobs In Metro
Small retail stores in Metro Toronto shopping malls can
expect relief on their property taxes when legislation in-
troduced November 23 becomes law.
Finance Minister Floyd Laughren says that $8 million in
taxes will be moved from smaller stores to large anchor
stores by the Assessment Amendment Act, 1994.
Important news, especially for retail workers whose jobs
were threatened by the high taxes borne by small retailers
in shopping malls.
Our government took action after recent rulings by the
Assessment Review Board meant a store's share of the
mall's property taxes was based on the tenant's portion of
the total rent paid by all the mall's tenants. rather than on
their share of the total maLl area as it had been previously.
The rulings had resulted in tax increases for smaller mall
tenants of between 18 and 800 percent and threatened the
survival of many small retailers and the thousands of jobs
they provide.
The result of nine months of consultations between the
Bob Rae government, small retailers and large anchor
tenants, the new law is part of our government's commit-
ment to helping small businesses and maintaining jobs.

He was renowned for the
theatrical opening nights
that preceded every
exhibition of his work. his

Renew
Investment
Program
Premier Bob Rae has
announced that the Ontario
government has renewed
the Ontario Film
Investment Program
(OFIP) through a
provincial funding package
totalling $42 million over
three years.
Investing in Canadian
film and television
production is good
government policy," said
Premier Rae. "These
productions create jobs for
highly skilled people,
attract foreign investment
dollars, generate
significant tax revenues
and provide important
financial leverage for the
industry."
Domestic budgets for
projects supported by OFIP
between 1992 and 1994
totalled $253 million. The
Premier noted that the
average OFIP project
spends about 89 percent of
its total domestic budget on
Ontario goods. services and
labour.
Culture, Tourism and
Recreation Minister Anne
Swarbrick joined the
Premier for the
announcement on the set of
the TV program "Taking
the Falls". The minister
says the industry's solid
performance as an
economic and cultural force
in the province spurred the
Ontario government to
extend the renewal period
from two to three years.
"Everything about OFIP
is good news, said Minister
Swarbrick. "OFIP supports
film and television projects
that we vahw as Canadian
cultural products. In a
world of disappearing
borders. when we see
aspects of ourselves and our
communities on film and
television it gives us a sense
of pride and strengthens our
Canadian identity."
Administered by the
Ontario Film Development
Corporation (OFDC) OFIP
provides cash rebates to
Ontario investors of up to 20
percent on eligible
Canadian TV productions
and up to 25 percent on
eligible Canadian feature
films.
"The three year
extension for OFIP is
particularly welcome.
Ontario producers will now
have the opportunity to plan
over a longer horizon and
during three years of
exciting developments
within the industry," said
OFDC Chairman Diane
Chabot.
"With the continuation of
this highly acclaimed
industrial program, we are
ensuring that a key
economic sector and a
dynamic component of our
culture has a firm
foundation from which to
prosper and grow," said
Minister Swarbrick.

CITY OF SCARBOROUGH
NOTICE
SNOW REMOVAL POLICY
�a' ll .
1001,
jig
It is important to be a good neighbour throughout the year
but especially important during the winter. Please take time
to clear the sidewalks in front of & beside your property as
soon as possible after a snowfall and use sand or salt if icy.
This will make our streets safer for everyone.
Be sure to shovel snow onto your lawn or boulevard not into
the roadway where it is dangerous for motorists.
Your assistance this winter is appreciated. However,
•
that we have passed By-law No. 23080 requiring that owners
or occupants clear the public sidewalk of ice & snow within
24 hours.
If this obligation is neglected, the City may clear the sidewalk
and charge the owner for all costs incurred.
The City of Scarborough clears main -road sidewalks & has pro-
grammes to help senior and disabled residents.
Please be patient! You can be sure we are doing our best. Under
severe conditions, completion of snow clearing may take some
time.
For information, call our "Snow Hotline" - 3%-7372

CRY OF SCARBOROUGH
PARKED CARS & SNOW
PLOWS DON'T MIX
PLEASE - Don't park your car on the road
immediately after a snowfall!
The Highway Traffic Act, Section 147 (10) states in part: "No
person shall park or stand a vehicle on a highway in such a
manner as to interfere with ..... the clearing of snow from the
highway." Offending cars may be tagged and/or towed.
The City's plowing routes are planned to do the most in the
least amount of time. Parked cars slow us down r prevent us
from plowing your street at all.
Cul-de-sacs and curved streets are difficult for plows to
navigate. Parked cars make it impossible.
Many tax $$$ are added to our snow budget every
year because of parked cars. Please do your part by
removing your vehicle from the roadway during &
after a snowstorm.

for Trinidad's national
team and the Toronto
Eclipse. Similarly, the
friends and teammates will
soon be on their way to play
professional ball in
Lebanon.

Orleans, Daniel is 25 and
now a resident in Canada.
Lan year he played profes-
sional basketball in the
European League and in
1982 he had a try -out with
the Mississippi Sharks in
the Continental Basketball
Association.
While the Canadian
Champs only began Play-
ing as a "jamming
threesome" earlier this
summer, the team jelled
quickly. After landing
sponsorship from
NutraSweet. the trio we.
an to beat out some 500
teams on Yonge St. in
August. This victory earn-
ed them a playoff spot to
compete against eight of
the World's best 3 -on -3
teams in Dallas.

Lasers, Nuts And Diapers
by George J. Peterson
Some people know what
they are doing. Others just
work hard.
Annette does both. That's
47 year old Annette
Catharine McQuade who
just eight months go
started her own business.
..Most important product
is laser cartridges, which I
refill,.. says Annette. "Just
today someone who is using
my refilled cartridge was
very enthusiastic about my
product. Wouldn't stop
praising it. The print was
so perfect and the yield, he
couldn't get over the vield.
Already he estimated he
had printed double as
many pages with my refill-
ed cartridge as he was used
to getting from a complete-
ly new Hewlett Packard."
"I don't claim double, I
just say we put more in
than there is in a new one,
quite a bit more." says An-
nette.
Now that it is close to
Christmas, Annette is also
selling large size salted
cashews, cnocolate
covered almonds and mix-
ed fruit and nuts at very
reasonable prices. "I don't
know how I got into this but
people seem to like it and
the prices," she says.
Annette lost her job in
April, but instead of worry-
ing she got off her butt and
became an independent en-
trepreneur. She is to be
congratulated. Her pro-
ducts are second to none
and their quality
"I sell diapers took An-
nette explained.
Isn't that a wonder. Of
course the banks would not
lend her any money, so she
did it on savings. She is a
great example to us all.
The address of her Diver-
sified Enterprises, and it
realty is diversified isn't it,
is 98 Carlaw Ave. The
phone number is
416-463-0351.

Bill Watt's Worlds
GOOD TIMES:
Many thought that
Medieval Times Dinner
and Tournament wouldn't
make it in Toronto. Oh yes,
it's ben successful at its
first location in Kissim-
mee, Florida and in five
other locations in the U.S.
but in Canada? Well, it's
now confortably into its se-
cond year here and this
scribbler has finally found
the opportunity to attend
and enjoy it.
Medieval Times is
located in the former and
newly decorated Arts and
Crafts Building (we believe
it was the Ontario Govern-
ment Building prior to
that) in the Exhibition
Grounds about a 90 second
walk from the Lord Duf-
ferin Arch.
Upon entering, one is
given a coloured crown
that corresponds with your
seating in the 1350 capacity
arena and the colours of
your knight champion and
his retinue.
You're then free to
wander about the
"castle's" attractions,
have a libation or two and
look at the stabled horses
until 7:15 at the evening
show) . Then. you're sum-
moned
ummond to the hospitality of
the Count of Perelada %%tw
has invited you to a holidav
tournament. The rear is
1093 and all participants
are garbed accordingly.
As you watch and
cheer your colour assigned
tournament knights and
their truly magnificent An-
dalusian stallions do
courses oncredible ring
pegging and helmet
decapitations, as well as
exhibitions of dressage in-
cluding a splendid
quadrille, you're served
food on pewter plates and
sans cutlery. The food is
substantial: soup, whole
roasted chicken. ribs, bak-
ed potato, coffee and bot-
tomless cola in tankards.
) This is a family show).
Just when one believes
the show and evening is
coming to a close, there's a
surprise attack by
"Saracens" and a pitched
battle ensues. You know
it's all cleverly
choreographed but are still
caught up in the drama of
mortal combat, of man
against man on horseback
and afoot. No one - no one'. -
can be so blase as not to ex-
perience at least a frisson.
The dinner tournament
runs a bit more than two
hours non stop. Knights
throw flowers to ladies in
the audience and accept
veils for their lances:
costumed servitors are
cheerily in character: the
Count is gracious and the
,evening is satisfying.
Satisfying but not
satiating. We're going back
again. You'll want to as
well.
ON S(REEN:
Disclosure ( Warner
Brothers) doesn't have the
slow burn intensity of
Oleanna as a war of the
sexes piece. Neither does it
have quite the same Big
Business ruthlessness as
the memorable Patterns
nor the virtual reality sur-
realism of Tron. What it
does have is fidelity to the
Michael Crichton novel
that engendered it.
'.Michael Douglas is ex-
pecting promotion in a high
tech business. He is passed
over in favour of Demi
Moore with whom he had.
pre%iously and before his
marriage, had an affair.
She approaches him to
renew it. When he refuses,
just on the brink. she - in
manner of a woman scorn-
ed - charges him falsely
with harassment. He
counter charges and sets
out to clear himself by any
means available.
The elements of a crack-
ing good statement movie
are all here. Disappointing-
ly, however, it soon
descends into fair meller.
Around and About
Your Dining &Entertainment Guide
Michael Crichton is an ex-
cellent writer save for the
fact that he puts too much
into his books. In Jurassic
Park, for example, he
could have dealt solely with
the theme of resurrecting
extinct life forms instead of
carrying it forward into
adventure though admit-
tedly, it worked for the mo-
tion picture version.
It doesn't work, though,
for Disclosure and
ultimately one is reminded
of an old Sylvia Sidney,
Bruce Cabot programmer.
Michael Douglas and
Demi Moore are excellent
in their roles and Donald
Sutherland oils into his part
with patented technique.
Disclosure is a good motion
picture because of them
but it could have been bet-
ter. But then, the same
could be said for Mr.
Chrichton's book.
L4 DOLCE VITA:
We keep hearing and
reading that the Recession
is over but this jury
member is still out on the
verdict. For the rich and
famous, however, there
has never been one and
never will be.
Impossibly young and
handsome Harvey Hauer
knows this and has return-
ed to Toronto to open his
latest establishment for the
creation and sale of custom
jewellery. Your Column
was there for the opening
along with a goodly
number of T.O.'s
sparklies' What an even-
ing!
The champagne and
savouries seemed to be
showering from a cor-
nucopia, the music was
lively (great swing violin
playing by Lenny Solomon,
reminiscent of Joe Verwti )
and, of course, the
jewellery was simply
dazzling.
Mr. Hauer's newest mec-
ca is in Yorkville at 33
Hazelton Ave. and Scollard
St. It's an old church that's
been lovingly reconfigured
to take advantage of
natural light for the view-
ing of fine artistry at its
finest.
Do not expect us please,
to describe the fine crea-
tions on display here.
That's quite beyond us and,
in any case, would serve lit-
tle purpose. Remember
that Mr. Hauer deals
primarily in custom
designs, which is to say
that you approach him with
a suggestion and put
yourself in the fine and car-
ing hands of roaster ar-
tistry
There are pieces on
display, of course - one
necklace was priced at
$800.000 - and available for
purchase but the true lover
of adornment will usually
seek for the distinctive at
least and the unique at
best.
Both can be found here.
After leaving the party
(oops, the opening) we nip-
ped over to the Mandarin
Club on Spadina at Dundas
(4th floor) for an exhibition
of paintings by Germinio
Politi.
Champagne flowed there
as well (are we starting to
sound like Robin Leach?)
NA the prevailing mood
was one of contemplation.
Glass in hand, one stood
back at correct distance for
the proper consideration of
some quite remarkable
paintings.
The exhibition is titled
Sole Seach but that's a not
quite punny way of noting
A Christmas Mystery
by Frank Knight
A murder -mystery or
thriller is always an au-
dience pleaser especially
one that is well written.
They can be set in many
different locales and time
ppeeriods. The Scarborough
Theatre Guild are right on
for the season with their
current production of the
thriller "Who Killed Santa
Claus".
As with all good thrillers,
it centres on a group of peo-
ple within a closed environ-
ment. In this situation it is
the annual Xmas party
given by a T.V. personality
for her various staff
members of her children's
T.V. show. Before they ar-
rive, she receives threaten-
ing phone calls and is sent a
'murdered' doll dressed to
resemble her outfit.
Police are called and a
very 'smooth' plain clothes
detective arrives. It is ap-
parent that one of the
guests is planning to kill
her or is it the strange
young man who turns up
unexpectedly, claims to
belong to their publicity
department but no one
knows him.
The problem on opening
night was some very 'stiff
acting. Regardless of ex-
perience in theatre one
either has stage presence
that the paintings seem to
evoke the salt waters from
which mankind is con-
sidered to have come forth.
There's a visceral quality
about them that melds into
the ethereal upon prolong-
ed viewing.
Prices? They run from a
FIVE KEYS TO POSITIVE PARENTING

doing a good lob parenttnL�. Ez'en
a parent zcith a well-behaz•ed child
ntau lue-4ton their parenting
abilttu. There are hoz:'t.'er, ser'era!
keu signs that are Predi hors of
whether the child will grow up
well -adjusted.
COOPERATION: Your child must
learn about rules and bound-
aries of acceptable behavior at
home. Cooperation in children
is the single best predictor of a
child's future. Going to bed on
time, picking up toys or
wearing a jacket when asked
are all indicators of how your
child responds to requests. If
children will not listen to a
parent, they will not listen to a
teacher, coach or supervisor at
work. Children who are unco-
operative at a young age fre-
quently get in trouble at
school, underachieve, have
emotional and behavioral
problems and get in trouble
with authority. These same
problems last throughout their
teenage and adult years.
EXPLANATIONS: It is crucial to
give explanations, rather than
just punishing your child. An
explanation will show your
child the difference between
right and wrong. If your child
is punished and no explana-
tion is given, the only thing
aw
Family
Matters
by Dr. Arnold Rincover
that is learned by your child is
to avoid punishment next
time. If a child grabs a
Nintendo game out of another
child's hand,, a parent must
explain why this is not right.
Explaining to your child that
the friend may not come back
to play because of what he/
she did may discourage this
type of action. Children will
respond positively if they are
given an explanation that thev
can understand. It is up to you
to show that sharing the toy is
the best alternative.
INDEPENDENCE: Fostering
independence in children is
healthy and teaches the child to
take responsibility for personal
actions. Parents should balance
the amount of supervision
they give with the maturity of
their child. Without this
balance, children will lose con-
fidence and trust in their own
actions. Communicating with
adults who are supervising
your child will make you
aware of probiL'n.- 11some
up when you are not hre,ent.
COMPROMISE: A best friend is
the most effective teacher of
sharing and compromise.
Your child will develop
empathy and adjust easier
than those children without
close friends. If your child
wants to play soccer while
the other wants to watch T.V.,
a dilemma arises. Not wanting
the other child to leave or be
unhappy will encourage a
compromise. Children become
motivated to learn and think
about the feelings of other
people. If your child does not
have a good friend, you must
take an active role. Ask
who your child likes in school
and invite them over. Ob-
serving and coaching your
child's behaviour will tell
you if they are doing anything
that is unattractive to other
children. By creating such
opportunities, most young
children will quickly develop
gtxxi friends.
PRAISE: Praising your child
will go a long way towards
teaching them that you appre-
ciate and expect high stan-
dards of performance. Having
high expectations for your
child is normal. We all want
our children to do well in
school and in other social situ-
ations. Your child will excel if
you show interest and concern
about their dailv activities.
Ask your child to bring home
school work so that you can
talk about it with them. The
same is true if you are talking
about honesty, stealing or defi-
ance. You must notice it, talk
about it, praise the good and
correct the bad whenever and
wherever it occurs.
The best predictor of raising
a well -adjusted child are posi-
tive parenting skills that instill
cooperation, explanations,
independence, compromise
and performance through
praise.

you can call the IOF Foresters

or not. The play itself is
well written and the
dialogue is effective but
words must be given mean-
ing and timbre which add
to characterization as
much as the visual ap-
pearance.
Handling the main roles
with flair and positive
characterization were A.
Dolly Azar ( Barbara Love)
and Barry Neilson as the
police detective. Their
scenes together were con-
vincing. A nice touch of
character acting was add-
ed by Ray Wares ( Ray
Lacey) as 'campy' make
up artist.
The director Harry Fran-
cis gave us some very ef-
fective stage blocking with
a play that was originally
written for a proscenium
stage. He also designed the
'good looking set with good
adaptation to an arena set-
ting. The production side
was handled well with all
the right touches for Xmas.
It is an entertaining play
with a 'twist' ending. I am
sure it will be running
smoothly for the balance of
the show.

Skiing At Montana's
Big Sky Resort
Big Sky Resort in Mon-
tana has earned a reputa-
tion over the years in the
skiing community for its
absence of lift lines. Not
resting on its laurels, Big
Sky has announced a new
fixed grip quad chairlift
called Iron Horse for the
1994-95 ski season. The new
chair lift opens up 106 acres
of skiing in an entirely new
area on Lone Mountain's
northern exposure.
Big Sky of Montana is
located on the towering
slopes of the Big Belt
Mountain Range in the
south central district of the
state. A popular ski
destination, especially for
Canadians from the
western provinces, the
resort has continually built
a new lift every year for the
past seven years. These
high-speed chairlifts can
of isk large numbers of
skiers from the parking
lots to the slopes.
Skiing at Big Sky covers
two separate mountains
comprising 2,263 acres of
patrolled terrain. The ac-
tual resort is at a height of
7,500 feet; from there chair
lifts take skiers anywhere
from 6,970 feet to 10,000 feet
tip the slopes. The challeng-
ing trails have a vertical
drop of 3,030 feet. The land-
mark Lone Peak conjures
up visions of the Mat-
terhorn, standing ma-
jestically at 11,166 feet and
boasting out-of-bounds ex-
treme skiing.
Big Sky's growth in-
cludes more accommoda-
tions as well. Earlier this
year the resort opened a 29
unit lodge near its Big Sky
Golf Course, seven miles
from the ski lifts. The
resort also built a number
of ski -in ski -out con-
dominiums at the edge of
its main runs. These con-
dos have their own private
lift and ski runs out to the
main trails.
Big Sky isn't just for ex-
pert skiers and thrill
seekers. Many Canadian
families stay at Big Sky
because the terrain is
diverse and the resort of-
fers excellent children's
facilites. Children ages 10
and under ski free - up to
two kids per paying adult.
Delta air Lines and Nor-
thwest Airlines both ser-
vice the international air-
port located in Bozeman,
Montana. From there,
visitors can take a very
scenic one hour bus shuttle
to Big Sky Resort.

Rochester Welcomes Canadian Currency
In Rochester, New York,
the colour of money is
also the colour of
friendship. The Greater
Rochester Visitors
Association, in conjunction
with the Chase Manhattan
Bank. have launched "The
Colour of Money", an
innovative program which
allows visitors to use
Canadian currency in many
stores, hotels, cabs and a
variety of entertainment
attractions.
The name of the program,
The Colour of Money, is in
reference to the fact that
many merchants in New
York State aren't used to
dealing with paper
currency that comes in
different colours.
Businesses in this Lake
Ontario port city are
proudly displaying decals in
the windows and at their
cash registers. to let
Canadians know that
merchants don't mind if
they are paid with a blue
five, a red fifty or a green
twenty dollar bill!
"Exchanging Canadian
currency at our cash
registers is an important
courtesy to offer Canadian
visitors.'* Said Richard A.
Luber. the president of the
Greater Rochester Visitors
Association. "We wanted to
make it easier for
Canadians to visit. Since we
are so close to the Canadian
border we hope this
program will encourage
frequent trips to Rochester.
Accepting Canadian
currency is just one half of
the program. The second
part is making sure
Canadians get full
conversion value for their
dollar. Chase Manhattan is
underwriting the
promotion, and has
distributed a newly
developed currency
exchange information kit to
places where Canadians are
Likely to visit.
Every participant in the
Canadian promotion
receives, among other
things. a currency
conversion chart that
clearly shows how to figure
out the exchange rate when
accepting Canadian
currencv. In addition. the
Chase Manhattan Bank has
established a special
currency exchange
"hotline". Rochester -area
business can call 24 hours a
day. seven days a week - to
find out the current buy and
sell rates for the Canadian
dollar.
The Colour of Money is
another tourist -friendly
program from a community
that s been rated as the
most helpful city in the
United States. Rochester is
known as the "World Image
Center" because a number
of its key companies are
involved in the
manufacturing of
photographic equipment.
The Kodak company's
world-wide headquarters
are here and as a result the
world's most extensive
photographic and film
museum is located in
Rochester. The George
Eastman House,
International Museum of
Photography and Film is
one of 10 museums, art
galleries, zoos and
Landmark buildings.
Canadians also come to
New York State's third
largest city for many other
reasons, including a varied
selection of shops and
merchandise, sports, range
of accommodation, and

appeal for both lusel

IN (Y)NCERT:
The current hottest
single act around is John
:McDermott, the singer of
sweet ballads such as Dan-
ny Boy which has propelled
him to well deserved albeit
belated stardom. You can
see and hear him Fndav at
First Canadian Place's
Waterfall Stage. His pro-
gram begins at 12:15 p.m.
and there is no cost.
It's hard to think of a bet-
ter entertainment value
than these increasingly
popular Waterfall Stage
concerts.
Next Mondav the Cana-
dian Brass gives its annual
Christmas concert at Roy
Thomson Hall. The
Mississauga Children's
Choir will also appear.
On Dec. 20th and 21st, the
British percussion group.
Stomp will perform at
Massey Hall. Stomp is the
group that seems to use
everything except conven-
tional percussion in-
struments ... duet bins, tea
chests. plastic bags, boots.
hub caps, even Zippo
lighters. One recalls Spike
Jones and the City Slickers
doing much the same thing.
USA Todav has written
that "Stomp finds beautiful
noise in the strangest
places" conveniently op-
ting to use an oxymoron.
It's probably accidental
that the last show of a three
