The report states that the only difference now is that the impact has shifted from record high starts to record high absorptions. In July, regional SFD starts totalled 101 units compared with an average of 247 starts monthly dur- ing the January to June 1983 period. Of the 101 units, 47 were located in Pickering and 25 in Whitby. On the matter of SFD ab- saptiaas, a cbeck d CMHC recard& from 1979 to 1982 reveals that September 1961 was the only month when absorptions or exceeded 20o units, the actual total being 233 homes. For 1983, five of the seven months including July ex- ceeded 200 units, the average being 279 units. Ju- ly carne in at 250 SFD ab- . In contrast to a vibrant SFD market, the report &bows that thesoh ly d freehold semis and _street townhouses remains miniri al acro&s the region with only 52 semis and 14 row dwellings under Con- struction. Buyer preferences for af- fordable housing are being revealed in a con<inuing de - mand for small lot singles linked underground at the footings, but detached above grade, rather than for standard attached dwellings which have party wall(s) extending from the grand to the rod. The advantages of the latter, of course, are economic as seen in a reduced selling price for the hone (less materials, labour and, in the case of row dwellings, land are needed to construct it) and lower operating and maintenance costs ( mainly heating) due to the party wall(s). Last month CMHC made reference to an improved outlook for the regional rental market due to pen- ding Canada Rental Supply Plan approvals for multi- ple projects in Oshawa (76 townhouses) and Whitby (248 apartments). In addition to providing fifteen year interest free lams to these projects so that their rents can be com- petitive with the existing stock readers may be in- terested to know that the program allows for up to one•yuarter of the units to be offered to the Province of Ontario under the rent supplement program. Tenants under this pro- gram are expected to devote 25% of Omw income far sbdEer, the aseeroce between what they can af- ford and the fog rent bang provided via a special allocation to the rent sup plement program which is baby d on a 50/50 federal and provincial govie tineas.

Aug. 31, 1f63 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Recovery Underway The economic recovery now under way in Canada can be expected to continue throughout 1983 and 1984, says 'Econascope', The Royal Bank of Canada's monthly economic report. The recovery moved into the fast lane in the first half of 1983 as moderating wage and price inflation and a pro- gressive easing of interest rates sparked strong activity in residential construction and consumer spending, according to Royal Bank economists. Canada's real gross national product (GNP) is expected to expand by 2.8 percent during 1983, an upward adjustment from an earlier 'Econoscope' forecast of 1.5 percent. The improvement is based largely on added strength in housing starts and the robust recovery in consumer durables. "Under our revised outlook, real GNP recovers its pre - recession peak by the first quarter of 1984, roughly half a year earlier than indicated in our previous forecast,." the report says. As the world economic recovery gathers momentum and business investment joins the consumer -led recovery in 1984, 'Econoscope' expects a rise in real GNP of 4.7 percent on average in that year. Inflation as measured by the GNP price index is expected to ease to 6.2 percent this year and 5-2 percent in 1984. Lower wage demands and an upturn in productivity have contributed to further moderation in inflation and stronger increases in corporate pmts. which are forecast to almost double on a before -tax basis during the two-year forecast period. Canada's improving inflation record and strong current account position should continue to provide basic support for the Canadian dollar which is forecast to climb above the U.S. 82 cent level in 1984. Despite the recent hardening of U.S. interest rates, 'Econoscope' forecasts a potential downward bias in both Canadian and U.S. interest rates. especially in 1984. as the momentum of inflation in both countries continues to ebb and the pace of the recovery slows somewhat especially near the end of that year.

Roger Worth Finally, a Canadian political leader is talking reason and acting on his beliefs. The issue? Something called "tenure" in public sector em- ployment. For those of us who are not academics or civil servants, "tenure" essentially means that some people holding specified jobs can't be furd, laid off. or in practice, even demoted. Think about it. Effective lifetime job security. No threat of layoffs. A pay raise that is as good or better than those received by other workers. In addition, the jobs offer a lucrative pension scheme. Enter the wonderful, uto- pian, yet unreal life that exists for most of Canada's public sector employees. For many. it's a dream tonne true. In recent weeks, though, the system that coddles public sector uapk>yees has come under attack, and with good reason. British Columbia Premier, William Bennett, has indicated in no uncertain terms that he is about to get rid of thousands of civil ser- vants who are overpaid, underworked and many times less efficient than their counterparts in the private sector. While Bennett is intro- ducing legislation that will allow the province to dump the employees, the regulations will, more importantly per- haps, let B.C. retain hard workers, no matter their seniority, and fire those that are the least effective. Naturally, Bennett has been under fire from labour leaders and various groups from British Columbia and across the station. But he's also re- ceived support from organiza- tions such as the 64,000 member Canadian Federation of Independent Business. Bennett's plan is "econom- ically sensible, morally The James Weir Farm House historic plaque was unveiled at 1021 Tapscott Rd. Scarborough last Saturday. The home. erected in 1861, has been restored by Runnymede Develop- ment Corporation Limited and one of its employees lives in the present house.

(Photo - Bob Watson) leadership in an area where governments have been negli- gent for too long," says CFIB Report From — president John Bulloch. "Thisis an example whichOttawaTom Wells and other governments, pro- vincial as well as municipal, mould follow." MPP Scarborough North Bulloch is right. Public sec - tot employment has become so secure and lucrative that it is hard to dispute the reason- ing behind the surge in appli- cations for civil service jobs. A study by no less an au- thority than the federal government's Labour Can- ada. for example, found civil service office clerks, computer operators, systems analysts, telephone operators and even office boys and girls to be the highest paid in the country in their categories. And in a great manly other categories, the government workers fared much higher than average in competition with their private sector counterparts. The civil service game, of course, has gotten out of hand. Public sector unions have managed to force gov- ernments to lead the field in salary negotiations by threatening yet another strike that may hold up pension cheques or another govern- ment service that affects millions of people. And private sector companies are forced to meet government competition when it comes to setting wages. Premier Bennett deserves a great deal of praise for his ac- tion on tough, yet necessary, legislation on the public sec- tor. As in other jurisdictions, the total civil service bill ends up in the hands of taxpayers, and we've been paying much too much, for much too long, for a seemingly mediocre service.

RE: ELECTORAL BOUNDARY REDISTRIBUTION Although Canada as a whole is not experiencing a rapid growth in population, certain parts of the country are grow- ing very quickly with the result that some electoral districts have considerably larger populations than other. The riding of Scarborough North is one such area. The con- tinued expansion of our community has made this riding the largest electoral district in Ontario in terms of the munber of people who are eligible to vote. The 1981 census figures showed a population of 163,167 for Scarborough North. To reduce any inequality resulting from an uneven distribution of votes in existing ridings, redistribution of electoral districts is carried out from time to time. This in- volves the moving of riding boundaries. Unlike the federal government which is required by the British North America Act to conduct a redistribution of seats after every dicennial census, the Ontario government has no requirement to conduct such a redistribution. In the period from 1867 to 1975, however, Ontario has redistributed seats 14 times or roughly every seven to eight years. By that formula, redistribution is again due and before the House rase for the summer recess, I introduced a resohition establishing a independent commission to study redistribution of electoral districts in Ontario. The commission members are Mr. Justice Samuel Hughes of the Ontario Supreme Court, Ontario Chief Election Of- ficer Warren Bailie and Profesor J. Neville Thompsonn from the University of Western Ontario. Over the last few months they have been developing draft proposals which will be subjected to a province -wide public hearing process, expected to take place next spring and suauner. The hearings will give MPPs, municipal representatives, groups and individuals an opportunity to respond to the pro- posed changes. The entire process is expected to be completed within 18 months so that the changes will be in place in time for the next provincial election. As always, the main objective of redistribution is to ensure that Ontario remains sensitive to the changing needs of our increasingly diverse population. It is not simply a case of responding to a change in numbers, but determining with your help, if certain communities would be better served by the changes proposed. Carrier Routes Open!

Romano Sous. The hitch was that Romano forgot to attach the company's cor- porate seal on the tender bid. Lawyers for the company argued that the omission of a seal did not effect the legality of the bid- Board of Control had already decid- ed to give the contract to Romano. However, some council , Members wanted instead to give the contract to the next lowest bid, York Ex- cavating and Grading at $140,000 more than Roman's bid. The motion to give the contract to York failed to receive the two- thirds majority necessary to ova -ride Board of Con- trol on financial matters. Instead, Council voted to refer the entire matter to Board of Control. If Board of Control sticks to its recommendations, it is anybody's guess what will happen at council next time when the item comes back again. Make your next meal or party an EXOTIC one!

Nn Fki► 493.9200 Bill Watt's Worlds ON STAGE: By the time this appears in print we fully expect that PORGY AND BESS which is currently appearing at The O'Keefe will be the finest attraction in the city. By that we mean that the production will have come to terms with the O'Keefe stage. On opening night it had not and the result was a near failure for a work that is virtually failproof. Contrary to many detrac- tors, The O'Keefe is a fine, perhaps even magnificent facility. But, and this is very important, it must be used properly. If it is not then even the best of pro duction can be less than fully effective. So it was on opening night. Probably the single greatest and certainly most annoying fault was the difficulty in making out the lyrics. We suspect that many in the audience understood them only because they have heard them so often. Frequently balance bet- ween the orchestra and the singers was missing with the former overwhelming the latter. We suspect the fault lay with the sound engineers. Also, performers would frequently find themselves in a stage dead spot. Of course, this can be over- come with familiarity but the company is rotating the principal roles ( this is an opera after all) and one wonders how long it will be before all members of the cast are able to avoid the aural pitfalls. Scene changes were done badly but, to be fair. the set is lavish and the props big and unwieldy. Opening night lapses are forgiveable. Is it worth your entertain- ment dollar to see this pro- duction of Porgy and Bess? We believe so, particularly if the production is all that it should be. Certainly, one cannot go wrong with the music of George Gershwin and the lyrics of Ira Ger- shwin and DuBose Heyward. And, the orchestra is superb being large enough to employ the original or- chestrations and disciplin- ed enough to do them full justice. Incidentally, the program notes refer to them as the original of George Ger- shwin but that's an error. Gershwin never or- chestrated. He could but never did. (Check the writings of Oscar Levant for confirmation.) We suspect they might be by Ferde Grofe but it doesn't really matter who did them. They are quite simp- ly superb. Superb too are the singers. We will not single out because of the rotating nature of the roles. Let us say only that each and every one is worthy of solo attention. In ensemble, the effect is almost over- whelming in its awesome beauty. Yes, we enjoyed Porgy and Bess; not as much, mind you, as the landmark Houston Opera production but well enough to recom- mend it to all, even as we saw it on opening night. But, if it overcomes the in- itial technical flaws then friends, this is a show you will count yourself among the accursed to have missed! ON SCREEN: P. & G. at The O.K. has some scenes not normally included in smaller produc- tions. "A Star Is Born" cur- rently stowing in town has some scenes never before seen. This is the 1954 Judy Garland version and the extra scenes were ones originally cut and thought to have been subsequently lost. We find it difficult to state whether the inclusion of the extra scenes has improved it. Certainly they have done no harm but the film was Marina Moran Dance Studio 30 Nelew St. aw a wr y. sw �•••••�+a Scarborough Tap Jazz Ballet Gymnastics Ts Ladies' Dancercise Theatrical Productions Registration - Tuesday, August 3011t, 1883 For more information Sandra Cr"o please contact: MBATD 431.7035 Tai Chi Fitness & Health in Motion C) NORTH YORK TAI CHI CENTRE 6030A Yong* SL, 2nd Floor Daytime 656.2110 Evenifg 2245311 Beglinnism Course offend each month tl► enmuMTentttn TN cm IWeorewtl A.rsnet dt.a.su. 0111110110111110 TV MOVIE CENTER NO MEMBERSHIPS Weekend Special • Fri. - Mon.

Aug. 31, 1983 THE NEWSIPOST Page 5 places to go powerful enough as originally released. And by heaven, it's still powerful! We saw it at a special ad- vance screening and there was hardly a dry eye in the audience during and after the better than three hours running time. It's been a long time as well since we've heard spontaneous applause for numbers and scenes well done. Remember too that this was a predominantly media audience. If we have any bad vibes about the film it's because of the realization of how much time has elapsed since its original release and what has happened in the interim. Three of the five principals are dead. Only James Mason and Tommy Noonan are still with us. James Mason continues to be the English speaking world's most under rated actor and to steal every picture in which he appears .. as he does in "A Star Is Born" Tommy Noonan can be seen in the Rodney Danger - field movie "Easy Money" in the role of Paddy. Yes, that bald chappy is he! Thirty years .. migawd! The Festival of Festivals is with us again starting Sept. 9th. Roc Reed has again chosen the "Buried Treasures" and even we have to admit that he has done a fine job. If we had to make a choice of just one it'd be "Summer Holiday' This came along just about at the end of the long string of lush MGM musicals and was largely overlooked. We've always felt it was because the public was simply tired of too many musicals at the time. Whatever, it's a musical version of "Ah Wilderness.. by Eugene O'Neill ( Don't confuse it with the later "Take Me Along" starring Jackie Gleason) directed by Rouben Mamoulian. The stars are Mickey Rooney and Gloria DeHaven but watch for Marilyn Maxwell in the .fig per" scene. ON RECORD - When we're reviewing Rode performers unknown to us we sometimes have difficulty determining which is the name of the album and which is the name of the group. Forgive us then if we have them mixed as we review "Fire Dances by Killing Joke" ( Passport Records) . One of the cuts is titled "Frenzy" and that just about sums up the entire album .. electronic frenzy. It is literally wild! As is so often the case on rock records the lyrics are vir- tually unintelligible but it really doesn't matter. The strength here is the powerful percussion in con- stant evidence. We don't know who is responsible for it - we have no liner notes - but a tremendous job has been done. If we were writing P.R. notes we'd describe this album as synocpated thunder. By now it should be obvious that we like it. Damme if we really know just what it's supposed to be but we surely do like it! We think you will too. IN PRINT: The fall and winter catalogues are starting to arrive from the major publishers and, as always, they contain a feast of pleasures for bibliophiles. Ordinarily we don't men- tion catalogues and rely solely on our reviews of the books mentioned therein and submitted to us. We really must, however, share a chuckle from the Collins Catalogue. It seems that Allen Abel has produced a collection of his sports columns from the Globe and Mail. The ti- tle is "But I Loved It Well". Descriptive notes state, "Allen Abel was one of the best sportswriters in Canada". That's subjective and debatable. We are prepared to admit that he might have been. What really breaks us up is the following statement. "In recognition of his writing ability, The Globe & Mail has assigned him to its China Bureau." Only the Globe would reward a job well done by transfers ing the one responsible to another assignment! Never mind Allen, with six you get egg roll. A little further along in the catalogue is an announce- ment concerning the All About Series. It is about the breeding and caring of dogs and the series looks most interesting. Our eye Centennial Rouge U nited by MAIN Hull Continuing with the review of Psalms this week Rev. Butler chose the 46th "God is our refuge and strength" It is good to have a refuge where one can retire for a quiet period to think things out and perhaps decide where our paths are leading us. At the same time it is necessary to have a source of strength along with the refuge because being human, our ability to take things in our stride often wears a little thin. So it is necessary to be able to call an some extra power when needed. As the Psalmist says "Be still and know that I am God". So amidst your busy haus, perhaps so busy you have no time, make the time if only a few moments in a day, to be quiet and listen - God is there. Flowers in the church were in memory of Bob Feeney's father who pass- ed away last weekend. It seems hard to believe but next weekend is the final one of the summer holdiays. Service will be at the summer hour of 10 a.m. for this week. Then on Sun. Sept. 11 we will revert back to the regular 11 a.m. ser- vices; be sure to make note so you won't be early! We hope to see everyone back in their places at that time ready for a busy season with V.I.M. and our own every member visita- tion coming up in Oc- tober, November.

ROUND AND ABOUT: Don't forget the Famous People Players opening tonight at the Royal Alex. We had thought they were doing a week and a half but they're here only until this Saturday. Penny East 'phoned to tell us about Air Waves '83 coming up on Sept. 9th to the lith at The Constella- tion. It's quite a sound show and we'll have more details as and when. Gentle amusements are all around us. Indeed, many can be found from beyond the grave. Consider these gravestone epitaphs encountered during a lifetime of sometimes aimless wanderings. In a Ruidoso, New Mexico cemetery . . Here lies Johnny Yeast. Pardon me for not rising. How about this from a spinster's grave in a Scran- ton, Pennsylvania cemetery? No hit, no runs, no heirs. Our favourite though is to be found in the Oak Grove Cemetery in Pawtucket, Rhode Island. It is inscrib- ed on a huge boulder over the grave of one William P. Rothwell who lived from 1866 to 1939 ... This one is on me. Get $3000 Loan Scarborough Council has decided to lend the Agin- court Music Theatre $3,000 despite warnings from several councillors that such a decision would set a dangerous precedent. The money is to be paid back from proceeds of theatre ticket sales. The group found itself in financial problems when a sponsor for the production of "Annie" pulled out at the last minute. Five officers of the group have taken responsibility to pay back the money. Lmxhng groom money in- stead of giving them outright grants is an ..in- novative" use of money ac- cording to Alderman Joe DeKort. "Many groups are tired of hand-outs" DeKort argued last week before Council. If this arrangement with Agincourt Music Theatre works out well. DeKort wants Council to loan out more money next year. This is only the second in- stance of council lending money to its citizens. Several years ago. Council loaned money to residents batting onto Midland Ave. south of Ellesmere to build a uniform fence along Midland. Only six council members opposed the loan. Alder- man Barry Christensen argued that taxpayers' money should not be loaned and asked those council members who supported the loan to be personally responsible that the money is paid back. Alderman Kurt Christensen, who also op- posed the loan, told Council it would be opening the door to many other groups as well as businesses to ask for loam. Other council members who voted agairm the loan, in addition to the two Christensen, were Aldermen Dave Winkworth, Marilyn Mushinski, Florence Cruickshank and Edith Montgomery. Fun is ... Acting.

OntKb Riding Prime Minister Trudeau has again shuffled his Cabinet for the third time this year. With the gallup polls showing the Liberals at an all time low, it is obvious that Mr. Ttudeau's main concern at present is that election time is nearing. To create more support for his party, he has decided to re- arrange the position of his Ministers and dispose of those Ministers who were, in his opinion, unappealing to the public. I agree with Mr. Mulroney in that Mr. Trudeau shuf- fled from the bottom of a bad deck of cards. The Liberals have run out of fresh ideas and this most recent Cabinet shuffle was a last ditch attempt to appease the business community and the Canadian public. The Canadian public should be allowed to decide what they want and let Mr. Trudeau know their feelings on his co - called economic solutions. This can happen only by way of an election which would be an ideal solution to our economic problems. However, with the gallup polls in favour of the Conservative Party, Mr. Trudeau will wait. Instead of trying to give his Cabinet a face-lift, Mr. Trudeau and his followers should be dealing with the pre- sent problems of unempk*mient, particularly structural unemployment; a fact which cannot be ignored. Instead of doing a bit of window dressing, something should be done to deal with this increasing problem which will not just disap- ppeeaarr in the near future. At the expense of small busunessmen throughout Canada, the government let in- terest rates rise as high as they did until they telly declined, not from Liberal tactics, but as a result of the U.S. recovery. I feel that the Canadian people are sick and tird of this type of wait and see attitude, while they go through desperate times. Mr. Trudeau knows this yet continues to try and cover up the important issues and ignores the wishes of the public. Report from Queen's Park By George Ashe, MPP Durham West PICKERING NUCLEAR STATION - The record speaks for itself - Although the Pickering Nuclear Generating Statim is a familiar name to the residents of the Durham area, recent publicity has resulted in the nuclear station becoming a household word throughout the province. From the incep- tion of the Pickering Nuclear Station, staff have been available to provide Ontatians with a better understanding of the role of nuclear power. The Nuclear Corrimunications Centre is both exciting and informative and contains a variety of display panels, animated modeles, videotapes and computer games for those interested in the subject of nuclear powr. Ontario Hydro takes its responsibility to the public seriously and has worked diligently to keep everyone well informed about the operatics of the nuclear statim. The community projects at Pickering are important and successful, complementing the reputation which the Pickering Nuclear Generating Statim has attained in the technical field. In terms of lifetime performance, Pic kering's fora' units rank in the top ten in the world, for cumulative reliability and efficiency of commercial size reactors. Nuclear power is a vital element in Ontario's energy strategy for the future, and we intend to continue to develop its potential. After all, while Ontario has few fossil fuels, we have an abundant supply of electricity, produced through nuclear and hydro power. In light of the adverse publicity which the Pickering Nuclear Centre has received there are a few fads which bear repeating: The average cost of a kilowatt-hour of electricity from the Pickering station in 1982 was 1.58 ants (the comparable figure at the Lambtan coal-fired generating station, built about the same time as Pickering and otherwise com- parable, was 237 cants, or about 50% higher). Pickering has produced more electricity than any other nuclear station in the ward (155 billion kilowattfiours or nearly 3 times the electrical consumption of Metiropolitan Toronto in MID and its performance has been the best in the world, over-all. No member of the public has ever received a nv asurable radiation dose from the Pickering station, or indeed, any other Ontario nuclear statim. No Hydro micbm worker has ever received a radustion dose that would be medically classified as an injury. The Pickering Nuclear Station has been one of the most suucceessful investments that the Canadian Govern, the Ontario Government, and Ontario Hydro, have ever made; the reactors paid for themselves in three years and have paid for themselves marry times over since then. Emrisaiotts from Pickering have never exceeded the an- nual limits established by the Atomic Energy Centro! Board. The design and construction of a Cando reactor with its built-in safety systems is second to none in the world Nothing built can be said to be flawless as problems are an. ticipated and staff are trained to react to them. Regardless of how some individuals will, for their own purposes, distort and exaggerate the recent incidents at the Pickering sta- tion I repeat ... the record speaks for itself. Safe, clean nuclear -generated electricity is and will continue to be one of the positive strengths in the future of our great province.

Training This Puppy - A Labour Of Love by aIssO n D. Whytee When Scarborough's Stephanie Gamicott picked up a seven week old black Labrador puppy at the Buffalo airport last month, she became the first Canadian volunteer trainer for `•seeing dogs„ Weeks before, 17 year old Gannicott was watching a blind woman on television talk about the 4H (Heart, Hands, Had and Health) Club's involvernent in training seeing -eye dogs. Gamicott's love for animals prompted her to contact the Buffalo based club to ask if she could get involved with their work. Once the Guiding Eye School for the Blind in New York ap- proved Gamiava's request, she wont to work as a trainer. For the fust three months, she said her puppy, Sampson, will undergo general house training and be taught to walk an a leash. As soon as Sampson is three months old, Gannicott said she will teach him how to respond to verbal commands. He will learn bow to sit, he down, turn left and right, go for- ward and stop, cores the road and walk the correct distance ahead of his blind owner. Serromm's training with Gannicott, who works at Parker Boarding Kennel, will continue until be a 10 months aid. At that time, she added, Sampson will return to the United States to be trained in a harness. Once Sampson has learned distances and bow to lead a blind person, he will be seat to New York for training with his blind owner. The training will last a month and then Gannicott said she will attend a graduation ceremony fx Sampson and his new owner. "My family fell in love with Sampson,.. Gannicottsaid, ad- ding that it seems to be a mutual infatuation. Alfhongh it will be hard to give the dog up, Gamucott added that know- ing Sampson will be going to a good cause makes it a little easier. For now, Gannicott said she enjoys just having Sampson around She is keeping a "puappybood" diary on the dog which will be translated into braille and given to his blind owner. Raising Sampson is a labour of love as the only pay she recieves for training Sampson is the satisfaction of kDowing be will be someone else's eyes. If successful with Sampson, Gannicott said she hopes the Guide Eye School for the Blind will let her rare and train another puppy. To study veterinary medicine after she graduates from high school, is the plan of Stephanie Gan - Free Citizenship Classes At Malvern Library Free Citizenship classes in English start at Malvern Community Library, Tues.

Kinsmen Flea Market Once again The Kinsmen Club of West hill will be operating a flea market in the west parking lot of Mor- nin$ide Mall, between Kingston Rd. and Lawrence Ave. E., on Mon. Sept. 5.

A total of three bats were reported in the vicinity of 3131 Eglinton Ave. E. near Markham Rd last week. The carcasses of two of the bats disappeared before testing could be done to find out if they were rabid. However, health of- ficials are going on the presumption that they were rabid and as a result, S o- ifishots undergo. exposure anti -rabies treat- ment over the nod 2B days. The third bat, actually the first one reported, was found in a pail on a balcony at 3131 Eglinton Ave. E. Luridly no one came into direct contact with this bat which was found to have rabies. Fears that one family, camping somewhere near Peterborough, may have been in contact with the rabid beet have proved groundless - No one knows where the buts came from and no one knows if there are more of them Anyone spotting a bat is urged not to conch it but to immediately contact either the rough Department of Health or the Animal Control Centre. Chess: It's Your Move Many individuals have played casual chess, however, very few have played competitive tourna- ment dress. That is the observation of Ernie Mcuignat who, as president of the West Hill Chess Club, is a strong ad- vocate of the game's com- petitive aspects - "Everyone at one time or another has been exposed to casual chess. Tbat is the type of chess that one plays an a rainy day when there is nothing better to do," Muognat says. ''Tournament chess, that is the real activity for truly interested players. It is an excellent way of testing one's true mental abilities at the game, as other fac- tors play a role; namely, the touch -move rule, recor- ding of moves, and time control," he added. Mucignat, who became president in September 1982, maintains that the competition and challenge sustain the interest of club members. (Tournament games are played with chess clocks). "It is imperative that the playing surroundings are competitive, so that the in- terest is maintained. Of course, people play chess because it is enjoyable; however, the competition aspect is very important." The West Hill Chess Club meets every Tuesday, from 7 p.m. to 12 midnight, at Sir Oliver Mowat Collegiate, 5400 Lawrence Ave. E. at Charlottetown Blvd, in the spacious cafeteria. The club offers rated tournaments for members of the Chess Federation of Canada (CFC). The CFC has a mathematical rating system, whereby any player in Canada can com- pare his/her strength with that of other playas in the country - Wed Aug. 31, 1983 THE NENrSf W Pager 9 May Close First Scarborough School -. by Gay Abbate For the second time in as many years, the Scar- borough Board of Educa- tion is reviewing schools for possible clown. Cur- rently under review are Terraview Heights P.S. and Gooderham Jr. P.S. The board is inviting com- munity input into the future of these two schools at a public meeting to be held on Mon. Sept. 19 at 7 p.m. in the auditorium of Wexford Collegiate, 1176 Pharmacy Ave. Board policy is to review a school when enrollment falls below a specified figura. For junior schools (JK to grade 6), this target figure or public schools JK to'gradde 9) this figure is 160. Neither of the two schools, as yet, has fallen drastical- ly below the ensnllmmt figures which necessitate a review. In fact, Gooderham, with an enroll- ment of 109, is just one nuoil C short of the cut-off rgure while enrollment at Terraview Heights is still above the 140 mark. The board has decided on the review now because it is projecting that by 1989 the number of students will drop to 121, well below the cut-off figure. The two schools are being reviewed together because of their close proximity. Goode ham is off Pbar- macy on Gooderham Dr. north of Lawrence; Ter- raview Hei is on Phar- macy close to the 401. Both schools are in ward 3. The review pencPon could possibly Wad to a con- solidation of schools especially of Terrav- Heights with nearby Willowfield Gardens both of which are JK to grade 8. As a result of the review, the board could be facing the fust closure of a Scar- borough school. Two other schools have already undergone a similar review. Based on the recommendations of the review committee, the school board has decided to 105 Yr; Although momentarily concerned that she was not wearing all her beads to face the photographer at her 106th birthday party, Alice Beckett never lost er hseise of humus. "Is be good looking?„ she asked. Mrs. Beckett came to Canada from Colchester, England in 1906 and settled In East York where she raised her family and worked as a midwife. She had 13 children of whom only foursons and three daughters lived. About 75 people attended her birthday party at Scar- borough Extendicare Nurs- ing Home on Man. Aug. 22. Several generations of her family wen on hand along with residents and staff at the nursing home. It was a family affair with a special cake consolidate Ellesmere Jr. P.S. and Wendell Statton Sr. P.S. into one school ef- fective this September under the name Ellesmere- Statton P.S. This solution is possible and practical because the two school buildings are joined together, separated only by a wall. sa Old decorated with icing to match the purple dress Mrs. Beckett was wearing. Steve Haas, vice- president of operatiaos for Extendicate Ltd., was there and read the many letter Mrs. Beckett receiv- ed from city officials and Members of Pariiarneat. Marg Raynard, com- munications manager for Extendicatre Ltd., was also at the party. Mrs. Beckett's only bir- thday request was for a roast beef dimer with Yorkshire pudding which she enjoyed at the home of her granddaughter in Holland Landing on Sun- day. About her age Alice Becker said, "I'll live till the Lord wants me, and if He doesn't, the other guy will„ Seniors' Open House All senior citizens, % and over and retired or 65 and still working, are invited to attend the registration and open bause at North Yat Seniors Centre, 1 Empress Ave. Demonstrations of crafts and activity programs will be held daily including square and line dancing. choir, fitness. carpet bowi- ing. shuffleboard, yoga and much more.

Board Rejects Union Request On July 27th, the Ontario Inflation Restraint Board considered an application of the Ontario Public Ser- vice Employees' Union, dated June 2nd, requesting the board to review the decision of the Scar- borough Centenary Hospital, not to grant the full discretionary increase of $1,000 for those employees of the bargain- ing unit earning less than $"20,000 per year. The hospital ad- ministrator drew to the board's attention the substantial increases that these employees received during the previous two years. He contends that these in- creases distorted the rela- tionship that existed bet- ween the salaries of these employees and those of the other employee groups in the hospital. In light of this fact and to avoid further distorting of these salary relationships, SAILING SAILING COASTAL NAVIGATION CLASSES One day per week for ten weeks, leading to the Coastal Navigation Standard of the Canadian Yachting Association - =125.00 Starts SWefnber 27 - 28 - 29th HARBOURSIDE SAILING SCHOOL 368.4000 of 368.1235 EDGEMD CONSTRUCTION Drywall - Stucco Roofing - Painting Duct Work Dan y Haneigen 4034682 AIR CON MECHANICAL 283.1719 Specializing in service, & cleaning, natural gas fired appliances & furnaces.

Althia Thomas Off To Summer Games Like many of the 3,000 athletes to participate in the 1963 Ontario Summer Games, Althia Thomas harbours dream of future Olympic Games. "The 1968 Olympics aren't that far away, says the 15 -year-old sprinter from Scarborough. "That's why I'm running now. I'm get- ting ready." The Ontario Summer Games, set for Sudbury from Sept. 2-5, will include baseball, basketball, canoeing, cricket, cycling, field hockey, golf, karate, orienteering, rugby, sail- ing, shooting, softball, swimming, tennis, track and field, volleyball and water skiing. The Games are a program of the Ministry of Tourism and Recreation to aid the development of talented amateur athletes. Althia Thomas says she wants to do well at the On- tario Summer Games. "I want to close off the year performing well," she says. "The Games will let me compete with other great runners like Franco Gareau of North Bay and Katie Anderson of Toronto." Althia is an up-and- coming achiever. Last June, she won the 100 metre, 200 metre and long jump events at the Ontario Federation of Schools Athletics Association (OF - SAA) Championships in Kitchener. In June, she placed 5th in the Women's 100 metre finals and 7th in the 200 metre finals at the Cana- dian Senior Championships in Calgary. A member of the Scar- borough Optimist Track and Field Club, Althia is confident the Summer Games will provide her with the perfect environ- ment to excel. "Right now," she says, "I think I run better than Angella Taylor did at my age." $450,000 Goal For Jocelyn Lovell Fund The Jocelyn Lovell Trust Fund has been organized by the friends of Jocelyn Lovell, 33, Canada's cham- pion cyclist who was tragically injured in an ac- cident on Aug. 4th.
