Derek has been a member of the Rebels for five years and is one of their top drummers. his specialty being the tym- panics. This will be Derek's last year with the corps as be will "age out" when he turns 22 in the 1987-86 season. Vere are many reasons young people should con- sider joining a drum corps. Music for music's sake is sufficient justification. but music makes life more en- joyable and experience in music makes the enjoy - mart last a lifetime. Music, particularly as learned in a drum corps, teaches discipline. because every member must train to attain perfection to the limits of his, her ability. Music belongs to everyone. The ability to play musical instruments and the enjoyment derived from it know no class. ct-1 or racial distinction. Music builds confidence and self-confidence is perhaps the most impor- tant attribute that can be developed. Music makes good citizens. It is a wholesome outlet for expression. Drum corps provides ex- cellent use for leisure time by developing worthwhile interests and stimulating co-operative effort towards constrictive goals. The Rebels Drum & Bugle Corps Inc. will resume practices Jan. 6 at R. R. McEwen School, Wilson Rd. S., Oshawa at 7 p.m. Sunday afternoon practices from 12 noon to 5 p.m. will be added to Jan. 11 with a change of location to Stmcoe Hall Settlement House, 397 Simcoe St. S., Oshawa. Work has already begun an the music for next sum- mer's show and the corps invites any young people, ages 12 to 21 who are in- terested in music to join them in January. Instruction is provided for all sections - drum, horn and colour guard - so ex- perience is not necessary. Call 725-0169 or 68&2796 evenings for more informa- tion.

Durham Board Of Education Highlights A1SBO's Response to the Macdonald Commission Report Reviewed Chairperson Ruth Lafarga reviewed the trustees ALSBO's response to the Macdonald Commis- sion Report. She outlined the discontent of school boards with the decline of education's share of the pr's art, coupled with the increase in costly mandated program in- itiatives. The boards welcomed the idea of a report on the fmancing of education in Ontario. When the report was released in march 1906, it contained 54 recom- mendatmns, yet no impact studies to show how im- plementation of the recom- mendations would affect local school boards. For this reason, ALSBO commissioned Lionel D. Feldman Consulting Ltd. to analyse six of the recorn- mendations of the Mac- donald Commission Report. The findings of the ALSBO response and technical study are based on the premises that there must be adequacy and fairness in the funding plan, there cannot be a government tax grab of local tax dollars, and there must be a partnership in education that recognizes the legal, fiscal and academic relationship bet- ween locally responsible boards and the provincial government. ALSBO agrees with many of the Macdonald Commission Report recom- mendations such as an in- crease in education's share of the provincial budget but suggests further that per pupil grants should be in- creased to reflect the ac- tual costs of education. ALSBO rejects the con- cept oo-cwt of ..pooling" as there are no guarantees from the provincial government that these funds would stay in education and no indication of how they would be distributed. Pooling would also mean a loss of autonomy to local boards. The association would like the provincial govern - to present a White Paper on the financing of education in 1987 which would be the basis of discussion. New FteaKh language Ad- visory Committee Elected In accordance with the Education AM, as amended by Bill 75, the previous French Language Advisory Committee (FLAC) will be dissoved as of Nov. 30, 1906 and the new committee elected on Nov. 19 will take office effective Dec. 1, 1986. Size of Whitby Sebool Site To Increase Trustees approved the plan to purchase one addi- tional acre of property for the elementary public school site in the proposed Graywood Development in Whitby, subject to the Town of Whitby providing one additional acre for the active park area and the Durham Region Roman Catholic Separate School Board purchasing an addi- tional acre for their school site. The park/school site will then be composed of six acres of public school site, / w nw icleson's 1`1111% TING A%D six acres of separate school site and seven aces of ac- tive park site. The Regional Municipality of Durham Planning Staff will be advised of the foregoing. and draft pians will not be approved until the matter is resolved. Board Chairman Presents Ananal ReperL In her final act as Chair- man of the board, Ruth Lafarga presented her 1986 Annual Report. She outlin- ed the changing nature of education in the Province of Ontario and the many in- itiatives taken and goals achieved by the board over the past year. In a moving summary to her report, Ruth Lafarga praised the commitment and high degree of professionalism of Durham Board of Education staff, and thank- ed Director Bruce Mather and trustees for their sup- port and wise counsel dur- ing her tenure as Chair- man. In response, trustees in- dividually paid tribute to Ruth Lafarga's capable leadership and commit- ment to public education. They complimented the ef- ficiency, fairness and dedication she brought to her position and the in- creased visibility the Durham Board of Educa- tion has experienced under her guidance. After acknowledging trustees' remarks, Ruth Lafarga relinquished the chair to Director Bruce Mather.

However, Alice Kim- merer of 1759 Altona Rd. stated that she approved of the plan because it will not adversely affect the future development of her land. Ricca, on behalf of his applicant, stated noise at- tenuation measures will be included in the develop- ment.

Seeks Nomination Larry McLean, a lifetime resident of Oshawa and local alderman has con- formed his intention to seek the Progressive Conser- vative nomination for the newly formed Provincial - Durham Centre riding. "Over the past few mon- ths many friends and sup- porters were instrumental in encouraging me to seek the nomination as the P.C. candidate," he said. "After careful deliberation, I made a decision to pro- ceed." For a number of years Larry has held the position of director with the Oshawa Federal Progressive Con- servative Association. Dur- ing those years he was elected as a voting delegate and actively participated at P.C. conventions. Mr. McLean presently works with many levels of government - municipal, provincial and federal. As well he contributed much of his time and efforts to many volunteer organiza- tions. He serves on a number of elected commit- tees, such as the Conserva- tion Authority, Parkwood Estate Operating Commit- tee, and Oshawa Folk Arts, previously the Chamber of Commerce. "I enjoy challenge and am motivated by oppor- tunities which allow me to assist and serve in- dividuals and r or organiza- tions in fulfilling their in- dividual endeavours." McLean stated, "in terns of opportunities and idealism, I fully realize we are inundated with needless red tape. The ex- isting bureaucracy within our system of government serves only to obstruct and discourage many pro- gressive projects and ideals." "The creation of the new provincial boundaries for- ming Dunham Centre af- fords the P.C. party the ideal opportunity to build a strong governing base for the people of this communi- ty," he said. ••Clearly, I recognize the many responsibilities of an elected representative. A major role is to assist in- dividuals and organiza- tions in overcoming these roadblocks and dissolve the excessive administrative process to erasure positive and favourable results. As your elected represen- tative I will act as a dedicated communication link between the consti- tuents in the Durham Cen- tre riding and Queen's park," he added. The nomination date is Feb. 11th. Page 2 THE NEWS POST Wed. Dec. 31, 1986 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Goodbye 1986 b) &Ib H'atson The year just ending has been a better than average year for most Canadians, but Swedish and other neighbours of the Soviet Union probably won't count this year as good after the Soviet incompetence with their nuclear plant in Kiev. In 1986 we have seen the economy improve quite a bit - but not enough to get everyone on the gravy train. For exam- ple, yours truly never was appointed to the United Nations, nor banished to the Canadian Senate at a very appealing retirement pay! But we got by Christmas and most of us Canadians are healthy, have a reasonable way of life, eat well and enjoy our relatives and friends. For those who have inadequate resources to eat and be clothed, there have been manv contributions to those worthy organizations who look after people in need. Looking back over 1966 and getting ready to make thc>cc New Year's resolutions, we wonder how many people are resolving to give their children old-fashioned discipline and morality training so the youngsters will survive in this in- creasingly difficult world? Have you some notes on 1987 Why not send us your thoughts on a brand new year! Claude Had Courage Dear Sirs, Most of the fury directed at the Forget Commission's report on unemployment insurance has corse from those who believe that ever -bigger government can solve our social problems. Claude Forget had the courage to state the obvious: many Canadian workers have become entangled in the unemployment insurance "safety net". His report says that Ul benefits sometimes cause and vrolong unemployment. The report's main flaw is that evert though it said that "on strict insurance principles, voluntary quitters should not be eligible for benefits", it failed to recommend cutting them Off. The federal department of employment, in its literature describing the unemployment insurance program, likens it to fire insurance. If so, paying benefits after six weeks to a worker who has quit his job is like delaying a claims pay- ment to someone who has deliberately burned down his house. This gross abuse of the system, which casts working Canadians more than one billion of dollars per year, must be ended.

All right, 1 know; it isn't ex- actly a word of any sort. But in some circles it's the greatest thing since sliced bread and if certain people have their way, it'll eventually be as familiar as the old loaf of whole wheat on the breakfast table. What is it? BTT stands for Business Transfer Tax and it's being bandied about as part of Ottawa's tax reform package as the Peds, of necessity, move to bring corporate and personal tax rates more into line with those in the United States. A BTT has never been tried before, in any country. But we do know that it is a tax that will hit every product and service. part of the government's stated intention to broaden the tax base. At present, the federal sales tax is applied only to manufac- turers. A BTT, which would be a percentage of every firm's sales minus purchases, would bring in the service sector as weu. And, as they say. there's the rub. For while it would bring the government pas of money. the BTT is a new tax on those parts of the economy which are creat- ing most of the jobs—the infor- mation/services sector. And it will stifle that job creation. Take, for example, the case of Jane Brown, a hypothetical electrical contractor who em- ploys an electrician and two ap- prentices who service clients from two company trucks. With sales of $150,000 and pur- chases of 5:5,000, Jane would pay a BTT on S 12.5.000. If BTT were 8 per cent, she'd have to ante up $10,000 more than today. Some of that she could pass on to customers, but she would also likely lose volume to do-it-yourselfers. The bottom line: probable layoff of one ap- prentice and loss of one truck. Or look at Jim Doe, a hairdresser who with a BTT would lose his only staffer to a home-based, cash -only opera- tion set up to avoid the levy. The result: Jim loses half his business, can no longer afford the overhead and shuts up shop. Multiply that by all the tiny firms in the information/serv- ice sector and you get some idea of the impact of such a tax. And for what? More than three-quarters of the businesses that would collect such a tax generate just over 5 per cent of business sales. That's a lot of disruption for very little payback. And it's one reason small business owners don't support a BTT, even if it were part of a package that would lower per- sonal rates. In a survey of its 76,000 members nationwide, the Canadian Federation of In- dependent Business found 44 per cent voted against the BTT, 34 per cent for and 22 per cent were undecided. As well, there's the matter of the federal deficit. No one denies that the government must find ways to make up the revenue lost if per- sonal and corporate tax cuts be- come reality. Otherwise our ballooning deficit would get another shot of gas. -But." says CFIB President John Bulloch, "many small business owners fear that once a BTT is in place, sales tax reform w ill become a tax grab. -They suspect that increases in BTT rate%. rather than government cost cuts, will be used to bring down the deficit." And that, like most easy ways out, just isn't good enough. CFrH Purine Sense Bob's Notes Free Vaccine For Influenzae Type B The Ministry of Health shortly will provide haemophilus influenzae type -b vaccine I PRP) for the protection of children two to five years of age. "Inclusion of the haerrwphilus vaccine as part of the childhood immunization program," said Health Minister Eston, "is an important addition to the ministry's preventive health programs. We expect the necessary quantity of vaccine to be delivered to the Ontario government pharmacy early in 1987. All medical officers of health and Ontario doctors will be notified when the vaccine is available." Haemophili vaccine is recommended for all children two to five years of age. It is not reliably effective for those younger than two. In children under five haemophilus in- fluenzae type -b disease (Hib i is a significant cause of bacterial meningitis, epiglottitis (a form of croup), ar- thritis and pneumonia. Bob's Notes Alcohol Facts Caution The Addiction Research Foundation (ARF) continues to urge people not to drink and drive. If you are drinking and have to drive, limit yourself to less than one standard drink per hour. This is how long it takes the average male to recover from the effects of a drink. It takes the body ( liver primarily) that long to get rid of the alcohol. However, don't assume you are average. Your capacity for drinking may be significantly lower than what is noted above for the average male. This is especially true if you are a woman of slight build, or if you are taking other drugs. Never take one for the toad. Allow enough time to let the effects of the last drink wear off - that is, consume less than one standard drink per hour and allow at least one hour between the last standard drink and driving. Sobering Up Quickly Trying to sober up quickly with coffee or fresh air simply will not work. Nothing can change the rate of alcohol oxida- tion by the liver which is the way 95 per cent of the alcohol leaves a person's system ( breath, urine and sweat account for the other S per cent.) Coffee only turns a drowsy drunk into a wide-awake drunk who may dangerously think he or she is capable of driving. Remember. time is the only way to sober up. New Police Officers Thirty-one men and 15 women graduated as police con- stables on Thurs. Dec. 11th at the C. O. Bick College. Five of the graduates hold university degrees and 19 have second language capabilities which include French, German. Italian, Maltese, Polish, Ukranian, Russian, and Sign Language. Two officers speak a West Indian Spanish'English dialect. The graduates range to age from 21 to 35 years, and many were established in other careers prior to joining the force, which included banking, broadcasting, industrial chemistry. falconry, cartooning and missionary service. "None For The Road', - Enters lith Fear To m enforce public awareness of the dangers of Drink- ing and Driving. The Brewers of Ontario are launching their 12th Annual "tion For The Road" safe driving cam- paign over the holiday season. It represents a continuing eotrnmitment to complement the resolve of law enforcement agencies, provincial and municipal officials and other con- cerned groups and individuals to make our streets and highways safer. The Brewers of Ontario have also supplied 25.Wo "Non For The Road" ice scrapers to several Ontario law enforcement agencies, to be given to motorists who pass the R-I.D.E- program checks. New Horizons Grants Reg Stackhouse, M.P. for Scarborough West, has an- nounced two New Horizons Grants awarded to two groups in his riding. A group of senior citizens, the Glen Everest Ink Spots of Scarborough, have been granted a contribution of $1.143 to organize and develop calligraphy classes designed to meet the interest and needs of kbe member. Classes will be held once a week. The Glen Everest Art Guild of Scarborough has been granted $2.957 to promote and encourage senior participa- tion in the art of drawing and painting. Weekly classes will be offered at the McClain Park Seniors apartments activity [room in the following courses: pencil and charcoal draw- ing. pen and ink watercolour painting and painting with acrylics. Kennelling For Outdoor Dogs Every year thousands of dogs suffer through long and harsh Canadian winters with inadequate shelter or no shelter at all. These dogs cannot obtain shelter and are forc- ed to endure terrible weather conditions. While winter em- phasizes the need for adequate shelter, "outdoor" dogs also need adequate housing the rest of the year to protect them from the intense heat of the stn as well as the rain. Under the Criminal Code of Canada all dogs are, by law, required to have "adequate" shelter. A doghouse should be large enough for the dog to stand up, sit down, tarn around and stretch out comfortably to the fullest extent of its limbs. It should be insulated, have an interior windbreak, exterior door flap and be elevated 6 inches off the ground, facing away from the prevailing winds. These are the minimum standards the Ontano Humane Society has set regarding a doghouse - For information contact the Ontario Humane Society at 620 Yonge St. Newmarket, Ont. UY 4V8. MARRIAGES DROP There's a saying that families seem to get together only for marriages and funerals. We're seeing each other less and less frequently then, if Statistics Canada's data on mar- riage are any indication. There were only 184,096 marriages in 1985. a drop of 20 percent from 1972.

Today more than 40 per- cent of Canadian homes are equipped with this quick -cooking appliance. Microwave cooking is considered the food preparation method ideally suited to contempo- rary lifestyles. Singles, working couples and families on -the -go are all purchas- ing microwave ovens for the first time to accommodate active scbed- ules. Microwave oven ownership is expected to increase rapidly in the next few years, as microwave units become more compact and less expensive. New products As this ownership percentage gr ot�vs, demand for microwaveable food products will also increase. A000rd. to a survey conducted by a major microwave oven manufac- Wrer, microwave owners are look- ing for single -serving snacks and _ meals. Of particular interest to these iodividtals are products commonly prepared in a conventional oven, such asthat d , o not perform Well in the microwave oven. Responding to this demand, Pillsbury Canada has introduced a frozen pizza specifically designed for use in the microwave oven. Douglas Ronan, product man- ager for Totino's Microwave Pizza, describes the single -serve pizza as "revolutionary, since it is the result of exclusive microwave technology that helps overcome the problems usually encountered when heating pizza in the microwave oven". ..Due to the moisture in pizza and the nature of microwave cooking, regular pizza becomes soggy and limp when prepared in the micro- wave oven," he says. "To alleviate this problem, Pillsbury created a special 'micro -crisp' technology. The result is a premium -quality, crisp crust pizza that can be pre- pared in the microwave in one-third the time it takes to heat a deluxe pizza in a conventional oven. " Micro -crisp This "micro -crisp" technology includes a unique crust and topping formulation and a specially designed microwave tray packaged with each pica. Totino's Microwave Pizza is pre- pared by placing the pizza on the microwave tray and heating it for 3 to 5 % minutes, depending on the wattage of the microwave oven. The tray is designed to attract micro- waves. become hot and transfer beat to the pizza to produce a crisp crust. The single -use microwave tray requires no preheating and cools within seconds after it is removed from the oven. Totino's Microwave Pizza is available in two varieties: peppe- rom and deluxe. This product is now available in grocery stores ration- ally at a suggested retail price of $2.49. i C PRICES EFFECTIVE Dec. 31 - Jan.6 Sunday 9 a.m.- 5 p.m. FOR YOUR SHOPPING CONVENIENCE OPEN MON: FRI.
