It was reported last week that a Metro committee approved a $650,000 settle- ment with Pickering, to pay for lost revenue, a land exchange and moving fees. to close Brock West and give us a little bit of money," he said. "But they also want to excavate Brock North and dump it into Brock West. Only then will they consider Brock West closed." The move by Metro is seen as a concession to stay out of court; Pickering has an ongoing $3 million law- suit witil its neigh- bours over the clo- sure of the landfill site. Since the town initiated the lawsuit, Pickering has spent more than $1 million in legal fees, although Ryan said money is not the primary issue at stake. "The health and safety of the residents is the main concern. Moving Brock North into Brock West with- out a full environmental assessment of what is com- ing out is not acceptable," he In the deal, says Pickering councillor Dave Ryan, Metro will close the dump only after they move 200,000 tonnes of leachate from the long -closed Brock North site into Brock West, a job that will take about three years.

Pickering Mayor Wayne Arthurs would only say that the town does not, at this time, have a deal with Metro. Arthurs said he remains optimistic the two sides will reach an out-of- court settlement. Joan King, the chair of from Metro for good Metro's environment and public space committee, is quoted as saying if the deal is not accepted by Pickering, then "we're back in court," however. The dump is scheduled to be closed this November, if the deal is not accepted by Pickering. Where Durham's garbage will go after this year is still unknown, although John Aker, the regional works committee chairman, has stated that Pickering will not play host to another dump.

"A few months ago, major magazine and newspaper publishers, such as Madean-Hunter, Telemedia, Southam and The Globe and bead, began to insist freelance writers and contributors give up all or puts of their copyright." says local fieelanoxr Steven Leahy. He goes on to describe an existing situation in which independent writers, pho- to, pliers and dlustwors are finding themselves unable to earn a liv- ing unless willing to give up all ownership of the work they produce. Although the writer or artist is paid only once (aod not necessarily paid well). the corporation is free to do whoever it wants with that person's work: run it in dozens of publication& air it on TV publish it on the Internet: place it on "one of those high-priced CD-ROMs ... or even sell the movie rights.' But, that's just the beginning. Somt publishers want *moral rights,' as well. 'That means they can rewrite your story, change the slant, focus, ending. whatever, and stick your name on it — without even consulting you.' explains Leahy. "Some want the rights to all of your research material — your notes, scribbles ... everything. Some want the free use of your name or story in their ads, without your permis- sion.' Leading writers, Pierre Burton and Margaret Atwood, have joined the fray, as have major associations Ike PWAC (Periodical Writers Association of Canada), the Milers Union, the Canadian Association of Journalists, and the Canadian Cmators Coalition, a newly -formed gawp of photographers, Mustruors and fiedance vvrha bated to fight this enormous threat to their ability to earn a living and team conhd over their work.

This question is central to the child care review I have been conducting on behalf of the government. Since being given this task by the Minister of Community and Social Services, I have been seeking answers to this question by consulting a wide range of child care organizations, individual providers and parents. The government recognizes the importance of child care. It is a vital support to parental employment that makes the difference between someone getting off welfare or staying on the system. Quality child care can also aid healthy child development and provide a link to other services, especially for children with spe- cial needs. That is why, despite severe economic pressurises, we are spending up to $549 million to support Ontario's child care system. We have also maintained funding for over 70,000 child care spaces to help families in need But the challenge of our question retrains: how do we continue to serve these parents and children when the province is spending $1 million more an hour than it takes in? To address this question, the review is working towards these objectives: • . - 1. To ensure that parents have a range of quality child care choices available to them. The government believes that parents should have the responsibility to decide what is the best for their children and that the government should work to support those choices. 2. To focus resources on those families and children most in need 3. To develop a system that is affordable, not only for parents, but also for taxpayers. 4. To ensure that the system is balanced between the private and non-profit sector. The decision as to which kind of child care provider best suits the needs of chil- dren is for parents and communities to make. 5. To streamline the system and make it more flexi- ble to meet the changing needs of families. I have discussed these goals with 22 different orga- nizations involved in child care, and with parents and providers at visits to over 40 child care centres throughout Ontario. Two messages came through dur- ing these consultations. Everyone agrees that child care has to be of the highest possible quality, children must be safe, and they must be looked after in a caring and nurturing environment, and they want the govern- ment to show more flexibility in supporting a variety of child care arrangements to meet their particular needs. Many other issues have been raised during these consultations regarding the role of municipalities and the province in delivering and regulating child care, ways to encourage more flexibility in programs for school -aged children and the use of income versus means testing, to name just a few. These and other issues on the table do not lend themselves to easy solutions, yet rve been encouraged by the willingness of people to grapple with the tough questions before us. As the review enters its final stretch, I'm positive that I will provide the Minister with recommendations that will enable its to provide quality child care that is of fordable in these fiscally challenging times. Suggestions or comments about the review were being accepted up until April 15.

Affecting about one in every 500 people, it usually " strikes individuals between the ages of 20 and 40, just when careers are beginning, families are being started and plans are being made for the future. Researchers have found that the further people live from the equator, the more likely they are to develop MS. They also know that MS occurs more fre- quently in those of Northern European background than in people of other nationalities. These two conditions make Canadians more prone to MS What is Multiple Sclerosi s? than populations in any other country in the world. A disease of the central ner- vous system, which is com- prised of the brain and the spinal cord, MS is made up of two distinct parts: multiple and sclerosis. "Multiple" because many different areas of the cen- tral nervous system can be affected; symptoms can range from mild to severe; and those symptoms can come and go with little or no warning. And "sclerosis- because the disease involves "scleroses" or hard- ened tissue within the central nervous system. To understand what this means, it helps to realize that the body works in much the same way as a telephone switchboard in that messages from the brain are sent along the nerves to various parts of the body. In an electrical cord, the wires are protected by an insulating cover to keep the wires safe from damage. Similarly, in the body, nerves are protected by an insulating cover called myelin, a soft fatty substance which protects the nerve and helps the flow of messages to and from the brain. With MS, the myelin is bro- ken down and replaced with scleroses, or scar tissue which then distorts, or even blocks, the messages coming from the C� PUTER DE�E31G,_N_... to see your finished product. • re -upholstery & repairs • custom drapery • custom furniture can usually be ready in 10 days HOMESMART •pre -purchase inspections $225.00 •maintainance & repair consulting 1686-0705 or on the intemet at: HTTP; www.DudiamMall.com/westbrock 1NE WE= LTD.

A Dance and Silent Auction will be held on Saturday, April 27 at St. Bernadette's Church Hall, Harwood and Bayly, in Ajax. Emerald will perform from 8 to 9 p.m. and a disc jockey will cant' on until closing at 1 a.m. A wide assortment of items will be available at the silent auction. There will also be a cash bar. "On May 13, 1995, we hosted a similar function and raised $5,500 for the Hospital for Sick children which was used to purchase two pieces of medical equipment," says Debbie. "It would be wonderful if we could exceed that amount this year." Three -and -a -half years ago, the Cauley's own son was hospitalized at Sick Kids and underwent surgery. He is fine today. "This is our way of saying 'thank you' to the Hospital for their compassionate care of children," says Debbie. Tickets, which are $10 each, can be obtained by phoning 683-8540 or 430-6906.

Plummer, Units 1-4 I t Stars came out topialat LOSSA High school basketball stars came out to play recently at Durham College. During the regular season. teams from the west ruled the court in both men's and «omen's action. At this year's :Lil-star event, the 4th Annual Durham Regional Police Services High School All-Star event, the West dominated again. Pine Ridge's trio, Shantell Marsh, Shani Charles and Natalie Higgins led the West ro a convincing 52-29 win. Marsh was named MVP for :he West after leading all scor- rs with 13 points. After the name, Marsh was entered in me 3 -Point shootout, and won. "I just wanted to have fun," ;aid Marsh of playing in the Al -star game. "I figured, it was my last all-star game and I might as well do something." Marsh's teammates, Charles and Higgins hit for nine and four points respectively. St. NLtry''s Erin Lynch hit for four points, Denis O'Connor's Caroline Soloman scored six points. Pickering's Leslie Williams connected for eight points and Ajax's Kim Tilden, while not marking on the scoresheet, played a solid all- around game. In the men's game, the West trailed by two points at the half. But they kicked it into gear and ran down the East team to sweep them aside 64- 56 in the final 20 minutes. Local players, Claude Gaynor from Pickering, Mike Montes from Denis O'Connor, Ben Madden from Dunbarton, Kevin Taylor from Pine Ridge and Robert Baptiste from St. Mary's all participated in the festivities. Chris Smith of Henry Street High School in Whitby led the West in scoring with 16 points followed close- ly behind by Gaynor with 14 and Taylor with 13. Baptiste hit for five points while Madden connected for three points and Montes hit for two points. "We really wanted to wear them down," said Gaynor. "It was difficult at the start because we haven't played together, but once the game got going everything was alright." With one year of high school eligibility remaining. Gaynor should be making the trip to the event again next time around. "1 just wanted to have a lot of fun and play with the guys," said Gaynor. "There's a lot of good on the team and I was just glad I was chosen." With a packed house to take in the festivities, everyone was anticipating the slam dunk competition. With a trip to Chicago on the line to see a Bulls game during the '96-'97 regular season, the tension started to build after the first round. Last year's rim-rockin' champ, Taylor was once again one of the favourites. He made it to the final round but lost out to a determined Garvin Ambrose from Anderson who brought the crowd to its feet with two monstrous slams. Taylor was visibly upset and it showed in the second half of the all-star game. But once again, the Police Services put on another great evening. It was the first year both the men's and women's games were played at the same event. "At some point you have to promote women's sports," said co-ordinator Constable Jeff Haskins. "Now that we've ini- tiated it, there's no turning back. Every year, we said we should do the women's game. It was time to stop making promises and start delivering. "I think it's a welcome addition." Lightning strikes silver at Provincials The Dr. Shapiro Novice 'A' standing in net throughout the Lightning took home the silver Championships.
