were given $10 loans with
which to start small
businesses. They have been
very successful selling can-
dy, making fridge magnets
etc.,and will decide at their
annual meeting in June
which charities to support
with the proceeds.
The students, their
teacher Bruce Williamson.
and their principal, Wayne

Bring Them BaCK
by Bob Watson
The situation in Yugoslavia for our Canadian troops acting
on behalf of the United Nations is ridiculous. Some of our
soldiers are in hostage by the Bosnian Serbs and there is
discussion of what should be done.
In our opinion, Canadian troops should be brought back
home because the United Nations role in that divided land is
of no use whatsoever. Then we should let the various part of
Yugoslavia fight out their battle without NATO.
Canada shouldn't waste our armed forces in stupid coun-
tries which don't know what they are doing. Let the parts of
that land fight it out without us and come to their own con-
clusion.
Congratulations Maureen
It is great to see that former Metro Councillor Maureen
Prinsloo has become head of the Metro Toronto Police

should be able to handle that job very well.
Open Letter
The Board of Trade of Metropolitan Toronto has followed
the 19% municipal and school board budget debates across
the Metro region. Though some determined effortrs were
made to freeze and even reduce expenditures, property
taxes will again rise in Metro this year.
Combined Metro, city and school board expenditures re-
main excessive by any measure. Total per capita property
taxes generated by all classes are 40% to SD% higher than in
any of the four other GTA regions, far in excess of any
reasonable cost premium attributable to a
"discriminatory" provincial grants structure or Metro's
unique demographic and socio-economic profile. And as
you know. this premium is greatly compounded for the
commercial and industrial property classes by massive
distortions in Metro's antiquated property assessment
system, which has given rise to tax rates as much as 500%
higher per square foot than in some non -Metro GTA
municipalities.
The overtaxation of Metro's business community should
be of critical concert to all elected officials in Metro, since
the social and economic health of the Metropolitan com-
munity ultimately rests on the availability of employ)merit
opportunities. 'Riese opportunities arestill failing to
materialize here as the economic development of the outer
GTA proceeds apace, aided and abetted by a much more
hospitable property tax regime.
We are aware that the Metro and school board mill rate in-
creases were largely obliged by shrinkage in the assess-
ment base caused by tax appeals and business relocatins--a
self-perpetuating cycle which will continue to plague the
local budgeting process until such time as the assessment,
property tax and provincial grants systems are reformed.
The ultimate result of these reforms, however, will only be
the redistribution of existing tax sbu rdens, making perma-
nent reductions in those burdens at least as important as
objective as tax reform itself.
Completion of the 1995 budgets is therefore no cause to
relent in the quest for deep spending reductions, particular-
ly in view of the pending expiry of the Social Contract in less
than eleven months. We look forward to meaningful action
on this front in the near future.
Respectfully submitted,
Stephens B. Lowden, FCA
President,
The Board of Trade of Metro Toronto.

The poll stowed that:

- 91 % believe police should

union officials through a secret

strike; and
- 87% believe employees
should have the right to receive

Consumer Tips for Buying Energy -Efficient Windows
A well constructed Nindun ronin!•;,:,
BEACHWOOD. Ohio
(May 19, 1995) — Giant
strides in window tcchnol-
ogy have opened up a world
of new options for today's
window-huvers. No longer
are price and style the over-
riding concerns when select-
ing new window's. Instead,
with energy conservation
playing a more prominent
role in home building and
remodeling, and window
technology becoming in-
creasingly sophisticated, to-
day's value-conxcious con-
sumers are looking heyond
the basics and selecting win-
dows that not only have the
right look and price, but also
provide the best energy
value.
"Whether building a new
home or remodeling an
older one, consumers should
arm themselves with as
much information as possi-
ble about today's window
technology," said Ric Jack-
son, Marketing Manager
with Tremco Inc. in Beach-
wood, Ohio. "The wise con-
sumer will work with his or
her contractor to select
draft -free, energy-efficient
windows designed to pre-
vent troublesome condensa-
tion problems."
To begin with. anyone in
the market for new window's
should learn what U -values

haw:d on a w irkk)w's resis-
tance to the flown of energy.
Simply put, the lower the U -
value, the more energy effi-
cient the window.
"Most of the new window
technology has been di-
rccted toward lowering U-
yalues without adding extra
cost," Jackson said.
As a result, window
manufacturers are focusing
their technological efforts
on increasing the thermal
performance of the dual -
pane glass window unit. The
most significant develop-
ments in this area include
the use of three innovative
technologies: warmer win-
dow -edge seals: energy-sav-
ing Low E glass coatings-,
and argon gas.
Warmer Window -Edge
Technology
Dual -pane windows are
constructed with edge spac-
ers that separate the two
panes. Until recently, most
window manufacturers used
bulky aluminum edge spac-
ers. However, because metal
conducts energy, these spac-
ers contributed significantly
to the increase in U -values
around the edge of a win-
dow.
Today, many window
manufacturers are convert-
ing to a new type of edge
spacer constructed of a wa-
fer-thin, corrugated metal
strip embedded in black bu-
tyl sealant. This new
"warmer window -edge"
technology is marketed
worldwide by Tremco under
the SwiggleTi 4 Seal label.
The Swiggle Seal edge
spacer is constructed of
tmoisture-sealing, heat resis-
tant polymers which reduce
the flow of heat from around
the window edge and pre-
vent condensation from
forming on window panes,"
.Jackson said. This system is
Jesigned not only to keep
the window edge warmer
during cold weather, but
also to reduce the flow of
heat into the home during
the hot summer month% and
in wanner climates.
Because Swiggic tical
contains more moisture -re-
sistant sealant and less metal
than conventional edge
spacers. it performs longer
than other edge seal sys-
tems. Greater resistance to
moisture vapor keeps the
dual -pant' unit fug free over
the entire life of the window.
",&-E Glass
A second factor to con-
sider when selecting new
windows is the relatively
new low -emissivity, or
'-ta)w E". technology. Low
E glass is coated with a me-
tallic film that improves a
window's thermal perform-
ance by preventing infrared
radiant heat transfer while
allowing light to pass
through freely. "Infrared ra-
diant heat transfer is nothing
more than the movement of
heat rays through glass,"
Jackson explained.
Essentially, Low -E tech-
nology helps reduce heating
costs by reflecting heat ra-
diation back into the home.
This keeps the inside tem-
perature of the window glass
warmer, thus preventing that
cold, uncomfortable feeling
often associated with win-
dows during the winter
i Give A Gift That Lasts A11 Year!
months. Low E coatings also
reduce harmful ultraviolet
rays that cause carpeting and
upholstery to fade.
Argon Gas
One of the advantages to
the previously mentioned
warmer window -edge tech-
nology is its proven ability
to retain argon gas. Argon is
the same colorless, inert gas
used in ordinary incandes-
cent light bulbs. It is now
also being used by many
window manufacturers to
replace the air between insu-
lating glass panes. Became
it conducts Ies.. heat, it is a
better insulator than is air.
"The use of argon gas
contributes to lower U -val-
ues, provided the gas re-
mains trapped between the
panes," Jackson said. When
shopping for window.% with
argon, Jackson suggested
consumers ask their c(mtrac-
for or window supplier if the
window has been tested for
its ability to retain argon
gas. Argon Yaks will reduce
the thermal efficiency — and
the rmxwtary valor — of a
window. Swig;gle Scal is the
only warm -edge insulating
glass system that has passed
the German DIN standard
for argon -gas retention.
"After a window has been
installed is no time to dis-
co%er that the product
you've chosen is drafty, or
that it allows condensation
to form on window panes,"
Jackson said. "These prob-
lems not only detract from
the aesthetic quality of the
windows, but also reduce
their energy -efficiency and
overall value." With a little
common-sense research,
Jackson added, consumers
can learn how new advances
in window technology can
improve the comfort and
value of their homes.

A Partnership Anyone?
Education and Training
Week provides the perfect
opportunity to showcase
what Bendale Business and
Technical Institute has
been doing to fulfil its com-
mitment to provide a high
quality, unique and alter-
native curriculum for Scar-
borough students who wish
to pursue business and
technical careers.
Bendale's motto "Flourish
Through Industry" could
not be realized if it weren't
for the partnerships which
have been forged between
the school and the Scar-
borough community.
On Apr.26, Bendale BTI
hosted its now famous,
Sixth Annual Scarborough
Skills Challenge Technical
Competition. Some 267
students, representing
every Scarborough secon-
dary school, experienced
the exemplary state of
technical education as they
competed in a variety of
technical challenges.
Representatives from
business and industry
donated their time to judge
students in skills competi-
tions such as auto
mechanics, upholstery,
fashion design, hor-
ticulture, cosmetology],
drafting and design. wood-
working and food services
to name just a few. And to
top off the excitement of
this state of the art
challenge, Pinball
Clemons, a running back
for the Toronto Argonauts,
addressed the students at
the award ceremony as the
keynote speaker.
Bendale boasts a thriving
Co-operative Education
program. which capitalizes
on the generous commit-
ment of businesses to pro-
vide our students with work
experience. According to
Bill Brown and Al Cunn-
ingham, our Co-op students
are equally impressive!
Terri Harrison is doing an
outstanding job at the Grif-
fin Mack Funeral Home,
Louise Kane has been
wonderful at the Cedarbrae
Day Care, Louise
Englefield has been a
marvel at Bendale Acresl,
Jason Melville is a
mainstay at Bob Johnston
Chev Olds., Latanya
Lightbody is "wowing"
them at Beaver Foods in
the Civic Centre, Jim Ross
is applying his artistic
talent at Lithotech, Goce
Petrevski is creating
displayls at Lewis Craft,
and Andrew Francis is con-
tinuing his fine work at
TDMJ Machine and Tool
Co.
It is anticipated that over
110 students will par-
ticipate in a work ex-
perience program this
year. The next time you are
in a local garage, hospital,
business or school, and you
see an eager student who is
busy, helpful and involved
in his or her learning, say
"hello", for he or she is
probablyl a Bendale co-op
student!
The staff and students of
the Bendale Health Care
Dept. continue to nurture
its relationships with the
seniors of Scarborough,
through the Scrborough
Support Services. In col-
laboration with a number
of the technical classes, we
have hosted six very suc-
cessful "Seniors Lun-
cheons" this year. The food
school prepares a gourmet
luncheon for the students
and their senior guests, the
horticulture department
arranges the floral
displays], the drama and
music departments put on
presentations and the
upholstery class makes the
much sought after foot
stool, which is the tradi-
tional door prize.
The elders thoroughly en-
joy their time socializing
with the Bendale students
while the students gain
valuable experience in-
teracting with and caring
for their new friends.
Yet another exciting pro-
ject is in the works -
literally! The Technical
Dept., in partnership with
the Scarborough Public
Health Dept. and
Carewatch Community
Partnerships, is coor-
dinating a "Home -Repair
Project" to begin next
year.
After a training period,
the Bendale students will
assess and conduct simple
home repairs in retirement
homes for senior citizens
who are unable to do the
repairs themselves. The
students will gain practical
experience in a technical
area they wish to pursue,
improve their skills and
earn a credit, all while con-
tributing a valuable ser-
vice to an important seg-
ment of the Scarborough
community.
You've gotta have art! We
are pleased to announce
that photography students
Shawn Bishop, Paula
Lazorek, Jose Munoz -
Torres and Clint Rogers
will represent Bendale in
the "Kodak - Images Of
Who We Are" photographic
exhibition. This exhibition
will be seen in Vancouver,
Ottawa and Toronto at the
Queen's Quay Gallery from
May 27 to June 25.
Many of Bendale's senior
photography students also
had their work on display
at the Cameralinks 1995
Photographic Exhibition at
Gallery 44 in Toronto
Apr. 27 to May 6.
Bendale students continue
to be involved in a variety
of artistic exhibitions in
and around Scarborough
such as Artworks and
Rakadu at the Cedar Ridge
Gallery.
Respect, please! With
financial assistance from
the government of Canada.
the staff and students are
gearing up to be immersed
in a six weeks social pro-
gram called RESPECT
(Racism. Evaluation, Self,
Prejudice, Equality, Co-
operation, Tolerance)
which is designed to
develop the students'
awareness and understan-
ding of some of their social
responsibilities.
A few of the highlights of
RESPECT month are
"Short Circuit". a play
dealing with equity and
changing traditional roles,
and health workshops for
students given by the Scar-
borough Health Dept.
about sexual assaults,
diseases and smoking.
However, the most in-
spirational RESPECT ex-
perience promises to be
Hurricane Carter's presen-
tation to the students. Hur-
ricane, despite his personal
trauma of being wrongly
imprisoned for 20 years for
a crime he did not commit,
will focus his discussion on
the issues of respect for
self, society and justice.
Tropicana, a community
organization, has teamed
up with Bendale STI to
help achieve its objective
of maidntaining a safe
school environment.
Tropicana facilitated
"Working It Ohit", a three
week program which is
designed to teach youth the
importance of resolving
conflict without abusive
verbal or physical action.
Twenty grade nine
students were involved in
this intensive program.
Nosizwe Mahashe and Don-
na Alexandra describe this

escalates. We learned that
talking it out, not fighting it
out, is the way to solve pro-
blems. We also learned
how dangerous gossip is,
because stories become
twisted and before you
know it, somebodv is really
angry. It is important the
students become involved
in working out their pro-
blems so our school will
have even fewer conflicts.
When we get really angry.
we don't fightg anymore.
we usually choose to calm
down, walk away and talk
about it later when we are
calm. If all the students in
Scarborough were to learn
these skills. Scarborough
still wouldn't be perfect.
but at least 97% - 90% of the
people would be able to
control their anger•."

find Bendale students chat-

for the traditional parties is
a dead end because each of
them will attempt to prop
up the crumbling structure
of the welfare state which
they have all had a hand in
creating. The collapse of
this structure is a certainty
and attempts to keep it in
place will lead to great
hardship for the people of
Ontario.
"Only the Libertarian
Party is completely and
unequivocally committed
to completely dismantle
the Ontario welfare state to
create the conditions of
freedom from state in-
tervention to allow the peo-
ple of Ontario to prosper"
declares Mr. Apelbaum.

THE BIG SCREEN
The Bridges of Madison
County by Robert James
Waller has been on the best
seller lists for over too
weeks and has been read
by hundreds of thousands.
* °our Column. however, is
not among them and can't
comment on the fidelity to
the printed word of the mo-
tion picture version by
Warner Brothers. It's pro-
bably unimportant. What
matters is that it's a lovely
movie: the kind that's now
too rarely made.
If you, too, are among the
uninitiated, be aware that
its about a manf and a
woman who have a four
day love affair after %bich
they go their separate and
honourable ways. It's more
than Brief Encounter. less
than intermezzo but com-
pletely its own.
Meryl Strep as the Italian
war bride becomes a farm
wife in Iowa, is heart
achingly poignant. Clint
Eastwood, who also
directs. is what every man
who is truly a man wishes
he could be: worldly.
honest and... decent.
We'll say no more. If you
haven't read the book.
you'll love The Bridges of
Madison County. If you
have read it, you might
want to compare celluloid
to print. What ever the
result. you won't be disap-
pointed.
The film enters general

A short film, however.
follows only the whim of
the director and or pro-

films from 21 countries will
be shown at the Uptown's

National Film Board at 150
John St.
We attended an advance
sampling of some of the
films and can report that
predictably, some are pret-
ty far out but most are in-
teresting and enjoyable.
Among the animated
features to attract our at-
tention is "Do Nothing Till
You Hear From Me". a
Swedish film in which a
violin is courted by a sax-
ophone and a trumpet to
the melody of the Duke Ell-
ington title tune. It's mind-
ful of the old Leon Schles-
inger Looney Tunes of the
thirties. Then. there's
Belegari from Jugoslavia
in which a dung beetle is
the star of an ancient
Greek story about a beetle
who must push a rock to the
top of the mountain. It's a
free borrowing from the
tragedy of Sisyphus, of
course. but watching it. one
wonders if it's allegorical
or something cribbed from
the National Geographic.
Consult the daily journals
for daily films and
theatres.
A festival wouldn't be
complete without parties
and there are plenty of
them. On our mantel are in-
vitations to the opening
gala at 300) B.C. That's
followed by lou Years of

Diner. The closing gala will
be held at Taboo and the
after final party will be a
barbecue at the Canadian
Film Centre in North York.

tying with a few seminars

measure. Lif is good.

ART SEEN
Knight Galleries Interna-

Horizons, an exhibition of
South African art until
June 8th.
Clearly. the graphic art
worms of an entire country
cannot be encapsulated in-
to a single exhibition but
New Horizons provides a
generous offering.
One can enjoy, for exam-
ple. the latter day Currier
and Ives simplicities of
Tommv Motsw•ai and the
photographs of Larrabee at
the extreme ends of the
dramv realism of Keith
Alexander among the
several artists
represented.

FOOT) FE NTI\'AL: TWO
It was like something out
of Kafka.
Hanna Avenue is in one of
Toronto's underbellies. The
closest intersection of con-
sequence is King and Duf-
ferin: the street itself is
flanked by abandoned mer-
cantile buikfings adjacent
to now unused and
overgrown railway sidings.
Yet, something most sur-
prising happens when one
enters number 38. Go up a
few stairs and you find
yourself in the Academy of
Spherical Arts, a billiards
establishment that, as the
old song has it, simply
reeks of class.
The furnishings are
opulent, the kitchen is fine,
the bar is well stocked and
the tables, all that a
gentleman player could
desire.
So, what were we doing
there? Chir attendance was
for the launch of the Car►a-
dian Stage Company's
Feastival '95. a gala -go -
round of culinary pleasures
as part of its corporate
fund raising.
Starting June 5th. 18 din-
ing and drama delights will
be offered at prices rang-
ing from as low as $20 per
person up to $150 per. The
last named is for dinner at
the Founders Club in
Skydome prepared by chef
de cuisine Lionel Godron
with fine wines and cham-
pagne. A silent auction will
offer wines, wine making
accessories and Blue Jays
memorabilia.
Especially recommended
is Countgry Lanes and
Wildflowers. Among the
rolling hills of Mulmur

freshly churned ice cream.

MORE: FOOL) NOTES
It's been a year since
Movenpick's Palavrion
opened for business in the
Canadian Broadcasting
centre. Your Colunnn spent
part of an afternoon there
recently and can reconfirm
it as one of the more plea-
sant spots to be for
creature comforts.
It goes without saying that
the foods and beverages in
their myriad variety are
first class. For yours truly,
however, it's the ambiance
that carries the day. The
restaurant -better describ-
ed as an experience -is
spacious and unbelievably
bright and airy thanks to
the huge windows that
allow maximum light.
And, of cause, in the
afternoons there's the plea-
sant tinkling of a white
baby grand played by The
Invisible Man. We're not
making this up.
Good food, fine beverages

asked the questions that all

one hope it's in time for she

Walking links all ages to
the real Britain
For many the studying of travel brochures and deeding on desti-
nations and itinerary is half the fun of the annul vacation and
can add spice to long snow hM-nd winter evenings. Few plan-
ning sessions are more enjoyable than framing the "walking holi-
day", whatever vow age group, and perhaps no country offers
more scope for forward thinking than Britain with its immense
variety of terrain and landscapes and its almost limitless supply
of folklore and history.
There is a vast network of public footpaths, bridleways and
ancient trackways which run through farmlands, over hills flaks
and mountains and often pass close to a country puh or village
inn where the walker can rest and be refreshed as scores of gener-
ation, ?i a-. r ons before.

Temperate climate
With its temperate climate many parts of the country offer
year-round walking opportunities, and the chance to see Britain
change with the seasons, the bright skies and blossom -laden
branches of spring, summer's still flower-scented air• fall's rich
tones and purple heather, or the crispness of a winter morning .
Many walking trails will take ycu through AON`Bs (Areas of
Outstanding Natural Beauty) and National Parks. places which
receive special attention because of their natural beauty. The
choice of routes is limitless, and with the aid of numerous maps
and charts available at no cost from the British Travel Authority
you can ponder over the wonders of Dartmoor with its desolate
beauty and mysterious stone circles and the remains of settle-
ments dating back as far as 2500 BC, and the adjoining warmth
of of the rolling Devon countryside with its inns, thatched cot-
tages and, on the its own "Riviera", palm trecs.if you arc a
water lover, and few walks in Britain are far from the sea, you
can take the 90 km Weavers Way through the heart of the Norfolk
Broads, where open expanses of water are linked by rivers and
your route uses footpaths and disuesed railway lines past tranquil
fields and braods dotted with sailing boats.
For the long distance walker there is the 304 km Coast to
Coast walk from Robin Hood's Bay in Northumberland to St
Bees in Cumbria where the scenery alternates dramatically
between mountain, moorland, hill and dale.
Scotland's network of thousands of kilometres of paths and
tracks offer breathtaking views of deep glens, shimmering lochs
and Britain's highest mountains. The tradition of free access to
all open mountain and moorland in Scotland allows for great
freedom, but walkers and climbers need to be properly equipped
as the mountains, in spite of their relatively low heights arc sub-
ject to rapid weather changes There's lots to plan for, and you
can get free maps and plans galore from the British Travel
Authority (416) 961-2715.

through the marriage of
Lilly Canada's research
and clinical expertise, with
Rx Plus' advanced infor-
mation technology.
Moreover, this venture is a
uniquely Canadian in-
itiative, to fit the Canadian
health care context."
A pharmaceutical benefit
adjudicator, Rx Plus is an
information technology-
based firm that manages
the processing for "ad-
judication" ) of drug
benefit claims. The com-
bination of Lilly Canada's
and Rx Plus' resources and
capabilities will lead to
more comprehensive ser-
vice for the customers of
both companies.
Lowering overall health
care costs, while at the
same time improving the
quality of care, is possible
through patient and pro-
vider education, more ap-
propriate utilization of
drugs, and the application
of information technology.
With Lilly Canada's sup-
port, Rx Plus, which cur-
rently manages health
benefits for some 500,000
Canadians, is poised for ag-
gressive growthand rapid
expansion of its customer
base.
"Lilly and Rx Plus com-
bined will be able to offer
our customers more value
than either company could
on its own," said Robert A.
Morel], president of Rx
Plus. "With the injection of
Lilly Canada's clinical
knowledge, its disease
state management
capabilities, and its finan-
cial and human resources,
together we look forward to
creating Canada's most ad-
vanced health solutions
company. "
"We remain committed to
innovative Canadian phar-
maceutical discovery and
development, as evidenced
by our signing in January
of a $15 million research
agreement with Allelix
Biopharmaceuticals, and
by our April ground break-
ing on a new $25 million
research centre. The ac-
quisition of Rx Plus
demonstrates that we also
plan to lead the market in
the development of Cana-
dian health information
technology," said Nelson
Sims.

How much do you love
your pet" A recent survey
conducted by COMPAS Inc.
indicates that Canadians are
pet crazy. With 3.3 million
dogs and cats in Canada, our
sizeable pet population
makes more than half of us
crazy over our pets. And, ac-
cording to noted psycholo-
gist Dr. Esther Gelcer, "No
man, woman or child is an
island. We vearn to relate
and to be on the receiving
end of relationships. Pets are
in this sense, the perfect ob-
jects for the expression of
our yearnings for compan-
ionship."
Canadian cat and dog
owners are being given an
opportunity to write about
their special relationships
with their pet in a country-
wide contest sfmnsored by
