By Toni Reme They're destroying our children. Where's the outrage'? About a year and a half ago Time Magazine did a story on "Cyber Porn" which claimed that 83.5Q(- of all content on the Internet was pornographic. Like most media reporting this issue. Time invoked the bogeyman warning of the decay of our society, the corruption of our children and last, but not least; eternal damnation. "O000" was anybody scared' The article was wrong then and it's wrong now. Aside from the boring statistics that accompany every report and every critique of every report. their study was based on a study conducted through Carnegie '.Mellon University, which based its information On "pornographic news groups." and not the whole internet. Their report was based solely on the sites supporting pornographic material. If \uu type the word "porn." you'll find about 3.000 documents, which will include ever\ sexual thing imaginable. Typim, the word "Religion" will result in about 11.000 documents, while the word "Pet" will get you about 4,000 hits. This hardly is the 83.5cl, porn on the Internet, that Time warned us about. A more accurate figure has been calculated at "less than 1/2 of I cIc of the messages on the internet are associated with sites that contain pornographic material." Those that were listening didn't buy the story then and they aren't buying it nuH. Before the world wide web. the Internets dirty little secret w as the so called newsgroups.' w The �- newsgroup sites were difficult to find even by real I r good computer buffs, but once they got there. the pictures they found were free. Now of course with the introduction of search engines, a click here and a click there, our kids are exactly where you wish they weren't. According to the Carnegie Mellon report yt 98.9% of all users of on line porn are men, but Internet technology does not have a singular goal of allmN in - the emotionally crippled male gender to communicate pictures of their female victims and as some would say, increase the incidence of sexual abuse and rape. It is not the goal of a male dominated technology to oppress women or where the mere si`ht of bare flesh instantly converts men into rapists. In addition this piece of high technology is not designed to get porn and bomb recipes into the hands of children or to promote gays and lesbians getting at your children. Porn sites are attractive and provocative and they will suck your kids in to "Click Here." The worst part for me and mavbc you, is that your kid and mine will find all they want and anything they want for free. They don't need your credit card numbers or money to do it, just click and watch. They just have to type one of many words like. sex, adult, hardcore etc. and anv search engine will create thousands of links to sexually explicit sites and it isn't just the naked "'Oman. It's the discovery of uncensored images that can't be found on the corner store magazine rack that include pedophilia, hebephilia and "paraphilia." This mixed bag of the most deviant material showing bondage, sado- masochism, urination, defecation and sex acts with a farmyard full DURHAM'S LARGEST SKATE EXCHANG of animals. The Internet is by far the greatest form of chaotic mass participation and free speech ever developed and protection from censorship should be guarded. It is the unregulated chaos of the Internet that strengthens free speech. But we're parents not governments and we don't belong to free speech groups. We don't give a damn what the government says: what the group says. We care about our kids and we want to protect them because we believe we're right and we care what they see. We don't have any control over what they hear in the school yard or in the playground, but we sure as hell have the ability to control porn in our homes. til\ kid is twelve and regardless of what experts in raising a child might advise, my child is not ready for this type of material, at least not yet. Someday she can make up her own mind, but not today. lt's foolish to think that "self regulation or government regulation" will keep porn from in,. home. It's a big big business and there's too much money at stake for voluntary regulation. The schools are teaching our kids how to use computers and how to access the net. Employees have access to the net at work, but are the schools or the employers protected from unauthorized access to porn sites. 1 wonder what their liability would be if an employee or your child accidentally accessed a porn site? There's not much we can do, but there is at least some protection for parents schools and employers. The best bet is to purchase blocking or filtering software that limits access to adult oriented Internet sites. The way we use this technology will be up to us to decide what is good for our children and what is not. There's a lot of software available with control features including "Surf Watch "Net Nanny" and " CYBERsitter." Surf Watch prevents the downloading of sexually explicit pictures and some phone companies (it's the telephone lines, o.k.) are considering an "industrial strength version" that can be installed on national phone systems.

The amount of notice Ir, •.shich an employee is entitled is dependant upon a number of tactors including the employees age, position. icnure w ith the company, job respon- .ibilitics. and the length of time it takes the employee to obtain alternate employ ment. A common miscon- ception is that an employee ma,. seek damages for wrongful dismissal only when the manner or method of termination is "%rongful". This is incorrect. Although there may he recourse available to employees in circumstances where the method of termination was high handed, callous. malicious or %indicti%c in nature, such instances are rare. Generally. damages for wrongful dismissal are limited to situations where the employer has failed to prrn ide adequate notice of termination or payment in lieu thereot In most instances. the "reasonable" notice period is negotiated hr counsel. In my experience, most enlplo%er, w ill initially provide the terminated enlploycc w ith a "low ball" se\ erance offer. The offer is usualls only nlarginall\ greater than the minimum statuton pay nlent prescribed under the Ontario Employment Standards Act. In addition. the employer w ill likel\ ask that the employee sign a Release before monies are paid. The execution of a Release will preclude the employee from seeking reasonable notice of termination, which depending on the facts, may be measured in the tens of thousands of dollars. it is essential that a terminated employee understand his(her rights and not accede to the pressures of the employer to accept the initial offer. If the emplover is pressuring you to sign on the "dotted line', it usually means that the package offered is not reasonable.

Natural Gas An Abundant Energy Recourse (NC) -Clean, efficient and inexpensive, natural gas is one of Canada's most abundant sources of energy. Ninety -rive percent of the natural gas produced in Canada comes from Alberta and British Columbia. There are also huge gas reserves in the North and offshore in the Arctic and East Coast regions.

In terms of automotive performance, there is only a small power loss when compared to gasoline. Safer Than Gasoline'.' '.Natural Gas has several safety advantages over gasoline: Canada, during 1995. "Ontario and Quebec endured the most uncomfortable summer on record." Increased temperatures can lead to the kind of heat prostration that killed hundreds in Chicago in the summer of 1995.

Ontario LIF{ IA3 r S Hydro Emissions Report Tainted "The recent release of the Ontario Hydro Great Lakes Emissions Report is as tainted as the emissions from the plant itself," says Councillor Maurice Brenner. Councillor Brenner restates his earlier opinion that Ontario Hydro does not have the credibility to review or investigate themselves. Lake Ontario is under the federal jurisdiction as part of the Canada/Umted States Great Lakes A�u,reement. Nothim, short of an independent review bN the Great Lakes Commission is acceptable. Councillor Brenner is in concurrence that since the opening of the Pickering Nuclear Generating Station, the Ontario Hydro Management system has demonstrated inadequate environmental accountability, inadequate environmental awareness, a breakdown of internal and external reporting relationships: and lack of environmental ethic. With that type of track record, how much credibility can the people of Ontario and the residents of Pickering have in a report that is commissioned by the same management with those flaws?

Though not the cure-all that it is often touted to be, ginseng, particularly Panax ginseng C.A.

Every minute about one litre of blood (one fifth of all blood pumped by the heart) enters the kidneys through the renal arteries. The blood then runs through tiny filtering units of the kidney. called nephrons. Each kidney is made up of approximately one million nephrons. The nephrons save substances the body needs (to be carried by the renal veins back to the body's cells) and eliminates excess nutrients. water and waste products, such as urine. ,Q NgruRA,, HEALTH & NUTRITION CENTRE INC.

The Manchester/Oxford foursome have added their own guitar -driven element to the wave of new fast -paced electronic music emanating from the UK recently with their new album "Do /t Yourself'. And leading the way in the band is John Squire, ex -Stone Roses and one of the most influential guitarists of the late eighties till present day. Unfortu- nately for North Americans, due to a lengthy court case with their original label Silverton, The Stone Roses were barely heard of' this side of the pond, and Squires' brilliant guitar playing went virtually unheard - until now. With singer and ex -street (out o busker Chris Helme, bassist Stuart Fletcher, and drummer Andy Watts. The Seahorses are a combination of bouncv tunes and gutsy guitar pla%in`,*. Seahurses Rock the Opera LLuuse When The Seahorses first appeared before the 1,000 strong crowd their music was lost by an audience whose heads were darting back and forth between Helme and Squire: interested to see what the new -,uv is like but being unable to divert their eves away from the modem -day Pete Townsend. It t(x)k Helme very little time mselves till f five) to win over the crowd, chatting. away with a chorus of "Ow -right, fanks", every chance he got. None of the nervousness reportedly shown by Helme in earlier Seahorses shows was relevant on this night, perhaps due to his apparent like of Canadian beer. The solo rendition by Helme of "Hello" showed signs of a mature vocalist worthy of Britpop stardom. Despite being drown out by Squires volume level in songs like Suicide Drive and Blinded by the Sun. The Seahorses ,how was one for the crowd to remember and the solo by Squire at the end of their current hit;. )ve is the L.a►v threw the crowd into a frenzy begging for more. Whether The Seahorses can prove they can hang around for the long-haul or self-destruct like The Stone Roses is vet to be seen.

Gold would have been an added bonus. but he settled for silver and is pleased with his accomplishment. "I was hoping to finish top three." admits Luttmer. "i was pleasantly surprised it all worked out. i would have liked the gold. but I'm happy with getting silver. My goal was to get a medal. and 1 got one. -Realistically. I didn't think 1 would be in Japan." Competing in the Laser Qass Division. the 18 -year-old Pickering resident led the field right up to what would be the final race of the championships. Only eight of the scheduled I 1 races had been completed. Called because of light winds. Luttmer didn't get a chance to make up the ground needed to be World Champion. "Unfortunately, i didn't have a chance to catch up." says Luttmer. "Going into the final race I was in first. but had to do penalty laps which put me behind. Worse things could have happened than winning a silver medal." r Luttmer said training sessions with Olympic and World champion Robert Scheidt in Florida helped him excel in Japan. "I had some clinics with him.- says Luttmer. "He's the reason I went down there. He's where I want to go eventually." More big regatta's are the National qualifier in Kingston this weekend. Then in October, he'll travel to Chile for the World Open Sailing Championships. �pN 1F , two. that will get me a spot on the Open National team." hopes Luttmer. -It's a tough goal, but I hope to sail .vell and Let it." member of' the Roval Luttmer sails to Silver at Youth Championships coming up for the Pickering resident in the near future. He'll attempt to break through in the Open category in Canada with the best the nation has to offer at But first the National Qualifying Regatta, and a top two placing is what Luttmer is attempting. Af I can place in the top Canadian Yacht Club, Luttmer see's himself competing with the class of the field in a couple of years. And the first step is testing the waters in Chile. He may not have his name on the leaderboard anywhere, but Luttmer will use the World Open Championships as a learning experience. "it's a lot to face," says Luttmer of the world-class field. "They're all quite established sailors -- but i'll get there." For the 18 -year-old Pickering High School student, it has been a summer to remember. "So far, it's going as planned,' says Luttmer. "I'm a little surprised with what I'ye accomplished because of the way everything has fallen into place." Luttmer says his coach Jamie Boyden, who attempted to qualify for the Olympics for Canada, has taught him a lot about the sport. -He had a wealth of information, fresh, right from his Olympic training." says Luttmer of Boyden. A learned from the best right away. My goal is to get to the 2000 Olympics. In 2004. 1 want to win the gold when I'm at my peek age."
