The Education Centre is being constructed on the same site as the new Whit- by secondary school on Taunton Road, just east of Highway 12, Whitby. The board intends that the naming of the ad- ministrative building and )me of its areas will follow 'he spirit of its policy for :.: i rn r rig schools, wi th some Y +a� for the different ury and uses of the , :lits 1 -he policy states that consideration should be given to names of persons who have made a signifi- cant contribution to our society locally. provincial- ly or nationally; to historical names which once applied to the area; to the name of the district the facility will serve: or to the name of the street on which the facility is located. Names of current employees or trustees of the Durham Board of Education cant be corn` sidered. It should also be noted that the new secon- dary school attached to the Education Centre has already been named Sinclair secondary School, an historical name com- memorating the site of the former Sinclair Public School on which the new complex is being con- structed. As well as the Education Centre, areas which may be considered for naming are the outside plaza area, the main floor atrium. the board room, the large east and west committee roans, the cafeteria, the Professional library. and a variety of smaller meeting rooms throughout the MMeem�bers of the public are invited to submit names to the committee.

'March 31, 1993 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Zero Budgets Overdue by Bob Watson '.Metro Councillor Scott Cavalier last week urged his fellow councillors to vote this week for a "zero increase" budget by using some millions in one fund to achieve this result. At this particular time it is very essential that the taxes in this country be held at "zero" increase to give a chance for our economic recovery. Now what is the board of education going to do? There most be some areas to cut to achieve at least a lower in- crease than last vear. There are many ways to cut taxes - it's finding the right one. With no money coming from the Ontario government (while the rest of the province gets grants) Metro education is caught in a tough fight to keep those casts down. The provincial government is considering letting thousands of employees go. We hope that this is a move for early retirement for thousands instead of sheer layoffs. The federal government hasn't tackled its annual deficit yet and each year another $30 billion adds on to our national debt. The time has come for Ottawa to reduce its work force in a way that is not too difficult for the employees. We can't go on living on borrowed time in any of our governments - we most fact facts tough as they might be. After all private enterprises have been working on this. Un- fortunately• thousands of small businesses have gone bankrupt and thousands are out of work. 1 Let's get this recession over as fast as possible so that the minimum of Canadian.-, suffer lasses.

Strange. if we go back far enough arrn't all of os human beings part of the peoples of the wocid' The Gag Law Dear Sir Federal Government House Leader Harvie Andre is one very confused man. He is the minister responsible for introducing an electoral gag law Into the House of Commons. This law would make it illegal for citizens to spend more than $1.000 independently on advertisements to support or oppose a political party or candidate during federal elections. Until now, the Ottawa political elite has been telling Canadians that this draconian law was needed to stop elec- tions from -being bought.'. However. Harvie Andre recently dismissed this justifica- tion as a "myth". In fact on Febrtiary 23 he testified before the Special Committee on Electoral Reform that: "There is no evidence that I see am•wtwm to suggest that the person %tno spends the most is likely to win, ..it's a myth, that in- fers an electorate who is not as bright as we know them to be" Why does Harvie Andre really want this gag law? Wring the same testimony he said. "1 certainly recogruze there are real benefits to me and to everybody else in the system in having limits ... the third parties can't come in." We citizens are the "third parties". In other words, he thinks political parties should be able to spend $9 million during elections but citiaens' groups and individuals should be limited to $1,000 - effectively silenced. It seems clear that the real purpose behind this law is to force citizens to channel their political spending through parties rather than speak out independently. Citizens who oppose this blatant attack on the right to free speech should urge their MPs to oppose this gag law. Your readers may find out their MP's name and telephone number by calling Elections Canada at 1-eo0-26'T-8683. Let's stop the politicians before they stop us. Yours truly.

Do Your Own Thing How Is It Going To End? How does a senior earn a living in this day and age of computers and 'do vour own thing society" It's telemarketing. At least it works for me. The secret in telewor•ding, keep dialing. It's a number racket. A great voice helps with soothing overtones suggesting. And, it's not sexual activity. Some of the responses heard would curl ymw toes with icy clipped words they retort. not interested. Others comply with thank you very mulch 1 just signed an with the competi- tion.

Grace Napolitano ('ornish. Editor of Tattle -Tales... Passengers Own The Ship Dear Sir The year is 1960 and the ship called Canada is safely moored in the harbour. The passengers own the ship. There is no debt, there is no deficit. The sky is clear and not one of the passengers would guess that this is the lull before the storm. As the years slip away, dark clouds gather and the new Liberal captain called Trudeau prepares to take the helm. Captain Trudeau sets his sights on that perilous coarse call- ed socialism and Canada leaves the tranquil harbour. Multiculturalism, bilingualism, feminism and too many special interest groups to count, cast the passengers their cherished freedom. This course will not only bring about financial ruin but, almost more tragically, it will bring about a deep division in the psyche of the passengers. The journey into debt begins. The year is 1962 and the passengers throw Tndeau over- board. Two years later they elect Mulroney as their new captian. Mulroney promises change - an end to patronage appointments and a free vote on capital punshment. The passengers embrace his empty promises and the storm clouds gather- The dark waters are waxing treacherous. '.Mulroney, with the full approval of his crew, stays the liberal course and opens the throttle. No free vote on capital punishment and the patronage appointments come fast and furious. Eight new senators are appointed to ram through the biggest tax grab in Canada's history. the GST. The passengers all know it stands for "Government Supported Theft". They all pledge to make Mulroney and his faithful crew walk the plank once their term is over. The higher the taxes, the higher the unemployment, and the lower the tax revenues. It's Economics 101. Funny how the captain is always last to know. The debt torpedoes out of sight. It is 19913 and Canada is, not only. taking on water fast, but, is headed for the craggy shoal called Depression. The captain. recognizing disaster. is the first to jump ship. He Likes the only life raft and waits to be picked up by the World Bank ship that he spotted on the radar screen. Business as ostial. the dazed, confused, yet obedient crew begins rearranging the deck chairs. On the lower deck the passengers chant, ..Out Campbell out Willson. MacDougall. and Clark and all those old boys back in the dark." The passengers are preparing to take control of their future. They all know socialism does not work. They wonder out loud. "Do Trudeau and Mulroney think that when the Berlin Wall came down, everyone ran east?.. On the west side of the ship. a new voice is heard. A businessman is speaking about the market. free enterprise. private property, freedom of speech, a binding national referendum on capital punishment. long overdue reforms to the MP pension pian, special interest groups must be self-supporting, and a bill that would allow the passengers to recall the crew if they did not truly represent them in Parliament. Preston Manuring also believes that the safety of the passengers wind the protection of their property should be the number one priority of the Criminal Justice System. Cut government spending and lower the passenger's taxes. Finally. the passengers are bearing policies that represent the common Sense of all decent law abiding passengers. Yes, the ship called Canada is no longer ownedthe passengers and yes. she now lists slightly to the left and yes, at one point, it did look like the ship could be boarded by the Bloc pirates, but, the passengers are once again tak- ing control of Canada and refuse to allow any harm to come to her. All hands on deck - those passengers who are ready, will- ing, and able to start bailing, please call your local Reform Party Riding Association. There is hope in the distance, as the New Canada has set her sails for the harbour. Marnee Stern Passenger President Ontario Riding Reform Party of Canada Poor Drivers by Bob Watson There are a large number of drivers in our society who do not use their left or right hand signal to let other drivers know which way they are going to go. Our observation is that some drivers believe that the drivers behind do not need to know about which way he or she is going. Some drivers think it is OK to turn on the turn indicator just a second or two before making the turn. We hope that driving schools emphasize that turn indicators should be turned on at the earliest possible moment to let other drivers know which way they are going. 1993 Will Be A Great Mar Give A Gift That Lasts AH Year!

Recent provincial budgets in Saskatchewan and Newfoundland contain- ed deep cuts to public ser- vices. Ontario Finance Minister Floyd Laughren is threatening more cuts to Ontario services when he brings down his budget next month. "By limiting Metro's budget to zero, Metro can send a message of its own. We're a good place to do business and a good place to create jobs," said Cavalier. Citing figures showing Metro's exceptionally high unemployment and bankruptcy rates. Cavalier says Metro's economy is 'too fragile" to bear any more taxes. Canada lost 100.000 jobs in 1991-92. Half of these were in Metro Toronto.

The budget will be set by council this week. "When we set out to establish the budget, the proposed in- crease was 5.8 percent. Now, the management committee has that down to 2.3 percent. If taxpayers will phone their councillors between now and next Wednesday, I am convinc- ed we can get this budget in with a zero percent in- crease,,, Cavalier said. Support for the call is gradually coming in, the councillor said. The board of trade wrote to all coun- cillors calling for a zero in- crease: "High unemploy- ment, wage freezes, and business failures have all become daily realities, for- cing everyone to lower ex- pectations. :Metro tax - pavers desperately require help to endure this period, and increased taxes from any source is the last thing they need,'- the board wrote.

"We're all behind you. cheering you on." it said of the effort.

March 31, 1993 Sill Watt's Worlds ON STAGE: Remember those old M.G.M. movies where Mickey Rooney would say "Hey gang• this is a swell place to put on a show!"? Imagine then, a bunch of Luddites getting together to put on a show about the industrial revolution, set- ting it in a London sewer and bringing in Berthold Brecht or Kurt Weill as consultant. That should give some idea of Ratbag, a musical in its world premiere at the Bluma Ap. pel Theatre. The Ratbag family or what remains of it -father is dead and the oldest child was killed in an industrial accident -has set up housekeeping in a sewer midden to escape the perceived excesses of industrial progress. They're a scummy lot. Mother Buttress is a blowsy sloven enjoying concubinage with Onfusss. her late husband's brother. (Hamlet anyone,) Her two sons are Poker, a sub cretin 0me chief pleasure is crepitation and copula- tion and Rathead. a dreamer who just might have a germ of idealism in him. The latter meets the adopted daughter of a man of affairs, they fall in love. Her father warns Rathead to join him in his dirty business. His mother wants him only to remain in the sewer. metaphorical and literal. Much sophomoric dialogue ensues. none of it above early varsity level. There is muusrc. largely forgettable and dancing. spirited at best. Yet. and against all odds. Ratbag comes off. The pit band is the well known Polka Dogs and under the direction of Allen Cole it br- ings forth the sound of a British variety show band. a sound, the memory of which is encoded in this reviewer's genes. All members of the cast are good singers: they im- bue the songs with a veneer of substance and more than a modicum of enjoyment. Indeed, the singing of Underbelly Rind ( don't even ask!) by the trio of Buttress. Orifuss and :Poker is so lovely as to evoke emotional tears. not for the song but the singing. It seems then, that Rat - bag by Martha Ross and John Millard probably can't stand on its own but with a strong cast can become a pleasant memory of an evening at the theatre, though not memorable. That strong cast is here in this produc- tion. Iraina %eufeld as But- tress evokes Lotte Lenya and Kate Hennig is essence of ingenue as Rathead's love. Playing Orifuss. Simon Fortin might well be the Gene Lockhart that the theatre has missed for these many years. Benedict Campbell as the man of Affairs has such a fine resonant voice that he could probably sing the last six pages of the Liverpool telephone directory and make it pleasant to the ear. Duncan 011enshaw can melt emotions with his singing while bringing one's bile to the boil as the satyrish Poker. Daniel Kash as Rathead is the new E ftWt Gould except that the latter can't sing nearly. i Around and A boc t Your Dining &Entertainment Guide as well.

Those, however, who care only for enter- tainment for its own sake, might not enjoy it. Jack the Bear is a real tear jerker and painful for those who, like this reviewer, have their emotions close to the surface. Briefly stated, it's the story of a widower attemp- ting to raise his two young sons in Oakland, California in 1972. Right' He's not much of a man -drinks too much vodka which means he's drinking only for oblivion -but he means well and genuinely loves them. He's the host of a late night horror show on television. a fumy man and one who carries his nocturnal shenanigans into the daytime amusement for children too young to realize his essential emp- tiness.

MUSIC NOTES: What a plenitude of riches is in store this weekend for lovers of light music' On Saturday and Sunday, Opera in Concert presents Cilea's L'Arlesiana at the Jane Mallett Theatre. Cilea's music is less '.wow" than that of his peers and is perhaps better known and loved for its seeming easy lyricism. Metropolitan Opera pianist - coach Dixie Ross Neill makes her Opera in Concert debut as Music Director. Just before the Sunday matinee, the media and selected friends of the com- pany will be advised of the repertoire for the 93 94 Twentieth Anniversary Season. Of course we'll keep our readers posted and au courant. On the same two days, the Thalia Group of Arts of- fers a full production of the Cancer,Asthma Drugs May Help Alcoholics A cancer drug and the drug that helps asthma suf- ferers might also be able to help alchoholics, a research at the University of Toronto has found. "Our research team has determined that the drugs Restatin and Isoproterenol (prickly stimulate the pro- duction of angiotensin - a hormone that plays a role In regulating alchohol con- sumption, said Dr. Larry Grupp, associate professor of pharmacology at U of T and a senior scientist at the Addiction Research Foun- dation. "As a rule. the higher your angiotensin level the less likely you are to want to drink alchohol. So any drug that boosts angmterr sin production has a good chance. almost by defini- tion, of reducing the curv- ing for a drink." Bestatin, an enzyme in- hibitor, is currently used to treat leukmia. Isoproterenol widens the air passages in the lungs, and is inhaled during an asthma attack out of a familiar device called a mistometer. A similar device, said Grupp, can potentially be used by recovering alchoholks when they have a sudden urge for a drink. Both drugs proved highly effective when tested on laboratory rats - especially Bestatin. Daily injections of Isoproterenol were given beloved Countess Mantra. That's at the Cardinal Carter Auditorium, 25 Greenfield Ave. close to the North York Performing Arts Centre. On Sunday. the Van- couver ensemble v vena makes its Toronto debut in an evening performance at Walter Hall which is in the Edward Johnson BWdmg. 80 Queen's Park. ti iveza is a salon quintet. Among the composers whose works will be presented are Albanez, Dvorak, Falla. Tchaikowsky and ... Duke Ellington. That's catholic! F(X)T NOTES: Reid Anderson, the Ar- tistic Director of the Na- tional Ballet, continues to extend the parametres of the company. On Wed. Apr. 7th the Con- cert Group of same will perform, at the Markham Theatre, a new work by Serge Bennathan titled The Strangeness of a Kiss. Also on the program are James Kudelka's Musings and Robert North's Troy Game about which the column has waxed considerably less than enthusiastic. That's all by the bye. What matters is that the company continues to observe Mohammed's teaching and goes to the mountain. Well done.

It's good fun and a good opportunity to con- tribute to the NBOC and its many outreach activities. to 25 rats. The stronger the dosage, the less alchohol they drank. Inhaling the drug from a mistometer also cut drinking dorm. Bestatin was given to neatly 60 rats, and cut their drinking by half. Consump- tion remained at this lower level even two weeks after injections stopped. "This tang -lasting effect might be especially useful in preven- ting relapse." said Grupp. With such encouraging results, he is anxious for pharmaceutical companies to begin testing both Bestatin and Isoproterenol in human trials. '"Rue great advantage of these drugs for clinical testing is that all the preliminary work on their safety has been done," said Grupp. "Although this is a new application for them. the drugs are already being used safely in humans." The Grupp team's fin- dings build on their own groundbreaking research that the body's renin- angiotensui system - known to control blood pressure and salt levels also regulates alchohol intake. The other members of the research team are research associate Stephen Harding and students Renata Srezepanska and John Docherty. Research funds are pro- vided by the Addiction Research Foundation.

Oklahoma! opened on Broadway and the art farm of stage musicals was changed forever. Music became part of the plot dance was integral to the music and lead roles were no longer dependent upon or created for stars. Fifty years tonight. Broadway history was made and you know what? The critics were not unanimous with their praise. In fact, the leading critic, Brooks Atkinson, dismissed it as inconse- quential. The lesson, of course• is that critics might bring an audience into a less than satisfactory work of the stage but we cannot hurt a good one. The audience is the ultimate judge. It will always be so and on balance it appears that Oklahoma! will always be with us. Happy 50th you now, grand old lady of the theatre and much gratitude to Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II for the glorious music they gave you and the ages.

The focus of DISC is to help grade 8 students iden- tify their own beliefs, values and morals in order for them to make more responsible decisions and choices for their lives. DISC members felt that a substance abuse program is important not only because of its focus, but because it lets the grade 8 students know that Cedar - brae students are in- terested in them. The pro- gram also serves as a bridge between grade 8 and the transition to grade 9. The Cedarbrae students attended a two day training session on areas of substance abuse and wise decision-making. The ses- sion was sponsored by Parents Against Drugs. The Parents Against Drugs program has been successful in other schools such as Laurier C.I. and Albert Campbell C.I., and it has existed in Scar- borough for over five years. BEST PRICE IN TOWN!

" Pheobus Wong is the owner of Artex Sportswear Inc., a manufacturer of clothing specializing in in- sulated jackets including ski wear, snow suits and nylon fleece jackets. Artex was recently awarded a Certificate of Appreciation for Outstanding Achieve- ment as a new industry from the Mayor and Members of Council of the City of Scarborough. The winter wear business is fairly new; the idea came to Phoebus and a partner in 1990. He had been in a similar business in his native Hong Kong. He immigrated to Canada in 1985 and became a citizen in 1968. Phoebus took both the Emitac training programs in "Business Success for New Canadians" and "Pro- fit through Exports".

This co- operation is built with effective communication. If parents have a clear understanding of the objectives of your program, there is a better chance they will support their child with entinuvia-zin, and treat your efforts with respell. The best way to develop a strong communication network with parents is through regular parent/coach meetings. There are four times during the year when such meetings are important; when your team is formed, the beginning of the season, mid-season and post -season. Here are some specific objectives for each of these meetings: • first meeting: introductions, call for volunteers. This is also the time to have parents organize transportation to games and practices, and to establish a team social calendar. beginning of season: provide parents with objectives, details and expectations of your program, and establish positive relationships with them. • mid-season: discuss progress of team, gather feedback and outline upcoming events, ' post -season: ask parents to evaluate the program and thank them for their support and co -operation - You must enlist parents' help in establishing rules for parental conduct at games. Discourage them from coaching from the stands, and making derogatory remarks to officials and opposing players or parents. Hockey is for the players, not the parents!

Their initiatives are a positive step toward enabl- ing Canadians the oppor- tunity to travel more often."
