University Centre Concept Supported The Durham Board sup- ported a motion approving in principle the concept of a Durham University Cen- tre.

March 1.9.19% Opinion a page for expression for you and us Time For A Change by Bob Watson ibe strike of railway workers last week which has created heavy losses in auto plants and many other places - both for workers and companies - suggests once again to us that it is time for a change. We believe workers see trade union are protective of their jobs, but we think it is time to abolish union and replace them with "employee association". Frank Stronach own a number of plants in Ontario with employee association - and no union - which have representatives on the com- pany's board of directors and share in the profits of the company. After World War II Germany abolished trade unions and replaced them with employee association sharing in the company profits. This seems to us a better position for the workers - and the companies - as their workers will work diligently to earn that extra cash from the profits. There is no doubt that more companies could generate pro- fits to share with their workers if everyone in the plant has a desire to see the company financially successful. Let's change our trade unions into employee associations and they'll all share in the profits with management. Letters To The Editor Port Credit S.S.

Royal Commission Report On Learning At Libraries Copies of the Ontario Roval Commission on Learning Final Report, "For the Love of Learning.' are now available at all branch libraries of the Scar- borough Public Library Board. The commission's findings and recommenda- tions, which were released at the end of January, are expected to have a strong impact on learning and education in the Province of Ontario for decades to come. For public libraries, the commission had many recommendations which are related to information access and how public libraries are increasingly becoming the gateways to knowledge. The commis- sion called for an increased use of public libraries as designated access points to electronic information. Each of Scarborough's 19 branches and the bookmobile have copies of the Report Summary for review in the branch. The three district libraries. Albert Campbell District Library, Agincourt District Librarv, and Cedarbrae District Library also have copies of the full-length report in their reference collections.

Pearson and Muriel I. Macklin were married at Sharon Place farm. It was a love- ly spring day (70 deg.F) for the ceremony. The bride was attended by her sister, Isabel MacKenzie and the groom by his brother, Russell. Miss Macklin attended Agincourt Collegiate and R.H. King Collegiate and is a graduate of Toronto Normal School and a school teacher at Milliken Public School, Midland and Steeles. She is the second daughter of James A. Macklin and Jean Cameron Murdoch of Cloverlyn Farm, Bnmley Rd. The bride is a third generation descendant of Marshall Macklin, a pioneer of early Scarborough, who arrived from County Tyrone, Ireland in 1827 and later built a fine fieldstone home for his farm on the Brimley Road (now Macklin Farm Gate, Scarborough). Mr. Pearson is a farmer and a third generation descendent of George Pearson who had come from Yorkshire in 1830 and farmed 100 acres on Finch Ave. at Neilson Rd. which he had purchased for 125 British pounds. Don attended Markham District High School. His parents were W.T.P. Pearson and Annie Petch. He is their second son and was born and raised on Sharon Place farm. The bride and groom took up residence at Lot 16 Con 4 (Finch and Tapscott Rd) Scarborough on a 66 acres parcel which they named limestone Farm. I was immediately ad- jacent to Sharon Place and for a number of years the brothers operated the two farms jointly. Mr.Pearson was a dairy farmer operating a small herd of Jersey and Holstein cattle and kept a large number of chickens, so that the sale of eggs was a sideline. In setting up his dairy operation, Mr. Pearson did not choose the long traditional method of one stall -one -cow, which requird the farmer to attend to each animal for feeding and milking, but opted for the new technology known as a milking parlour. where the cattle take turns coming to the milking crew and are housed collectively. For many years. the Pearson farm was a field trip destination for Scarborough public school students studying the agricultural way of life. In celebrating their Fifieth Wedding Anniversary , Mr. and Mrs. Pearson mark a significant milestone and are to be congratulated. It is a far different world in the 1990s. Don and Munel have seen major changes in Scarborough. They moved from their farm into the Village of Agincourt in 1974.The City of Scarborough, now with its industrial and commercial developments and its residential concentration has grown in a significant and rapid way from its beginn- ings as a township of small villages and farms. Some of the major changes they have experienced include the develop- ment of the CPR Rail yard and the construction of both the 401 and the Don Valley Parkway. The Township of Scar- borough has become the City of Scarborough in Metropolitan Toronto. Who would have thought 50 years ago that there would be a TTC stop on Finch Avenue? For atime the Pearson provided room and board for the school teacher who was employed at SS No.3 Scarborough (later CH Berner PS) located at Finch and Nielson Rd. Mr. Crawford was later to become a member of the Macklin family as he married Mrs.Pearson's sister, Margaret. Mrs. Pearson continued to teach on a part time basis for many years, and in the expanding suburburan landscape of Scarborough there were many new schools and lots of de- mand for supply teachers. Muriel has a keen interest in genealogy and has compiled many volumes of family ar- chives and anecdotes. Mrs.Pearson worked for many years to have a school named in honour of her great grandfather , Marshall Macklin. The Macklin School became a reality in 1990. At the official opening, many Macklin from across Canada were in attendance and a number of special ar- tifacts were donated to the school. Muriel's speech on the history of the Macklin family and life in pioneer Scar- borough was warmly received. Mr. and Mrs. Pearson con- tinue to receive invitation, as honoured guests, to attend many of the official function and concerts at the school. Don and Muriel have two children and four grandchildren and continue to enjoy the fellowship of a wide circle of fami- ly and friends in Scarborough and across Canada. In their retirement, they have enjoyed travelling to several Euro- pean countries, Australia, Hawaii, Florida, California and Ancona. They are long-time members of Knox United Church, Agincourt and of the Agincourt Horticultural Socie- ty. Mr. Pearson only recently retired as treasurer of the East York, King and Vaughan Plowmen's Society and has been a long time director of the Ontario Plowmens' Association. On the occasion of their 50th Wedding Anniversary, the Pearson were joined by family and friends for a celebra- tion. They have been presented with acknowledgements and congratulations from the Mayor of Scarborough, the Premier of Ontario and the Prime Minister of Canada. Trustees Demand Provincial Funded Program Change Scarborough Board of Education trustees are demanding that Dave Cooke, Minister of Educa- tion and Training, re- evaluate some of his ministry's provincially mandated programs to ac- curately meet the needs of the people of Scarborough and not his political needs. ..The minister continues to create specialized pro- grams that only serve a small percentage of the people, and then places the burden of supporting these programs on the property taxpayer." said Ward 5 Trustee Jeff Kendall. "School boards are forced to run programs. but the minister doesn't provide US with any funding, and in the same breath tells us to cut our budgets and staff... "If the Minister is serious about cut backs then these programs need to be looked at." said Vice -Chairman Chris Braney. "We can't afford to keep paying for these provincial initiatives... "We've done our part. We've downsized senior staff by 20%, significantly cut our budgets, created partnerships with other boards to find effective ways to cut casts and sought assistance from private corporations. That is why the Scarborough Supports Young Offenders Act Changes John Cannis, M.P. Scar- borough Centre, spoke in favour of the amendments proposed to the Young Of- fenders Act (Bill C-371 upon Its third reading in the House of Commons on Feb.21.Ath. The amendments are a response to the increased violence of youth crime and reflect the feeling of disgust and revulsion that society feels towards these cnmes. M.P. Cannis said "our children attend schools for education and intellectual stimulation, not to in- timidate and assault. They Have A Safe & Enjoyable Holiday should be taking pens, pen- cils, books and calculators to classrooms, not guns and knives.., "Youth must be accoun- table. Thev must learn to be accountable for their ac- tions, and if thev violate society's rules, they %rill be punished. But we must go beyond punishment. We must rehabilitate those who break the law, and that is what this legislation does. It provides for the punishment of violators whkile recognizing that the most successful treatment of young offenders is not only punishment. but rather to both punish and rehabilitate so that the of- fender will learn that it is wrong to commit a crime, know why it is wrong and will not re -offend," said John Cannis. He added: "The onus to reduce youth crime is not just on the government. It is on all the participants in society. The family is para- mount in helping to alleviate the problem of youth crime. This is the first line of defence in the problem. It is here that youth receive their earliest level of socialization and they are taught right from ung. "The educators in our school system must have the opportunity to function in an environment that is free from fear. Our police must be given the proper tools to serve the interest of the public"Mr. Cannis stated. Mr. Cannis' speech received favourable com- ments by several col- leagues, including members of the Liberal and Reform parties. Give A Gift That Lasts All Year! board has the lowest per pupil cost in all of Metro.," said Kendall. "Cooke has to realize that what is good for one board isn't necessarily good for Scarborough. He must open his eyes and look at the Scarborough picture. And we can help the Minister visualize that pic- ture, but he will first have to agree to consult with US... "Interntional Language programs cost the Scar- borough board over $640.000 a year. English as a second language classes cost $13 million per year with an added cast for Education Assistants. Lunch room supervision costs the Scarborough tax- payer $1 million per year and more staff are re- quiredl," said Braney. "Then we have emplov- ment equity and health pro- grams which cost more money. So how do we effec- tively run these programs when the minister says cut and layoff?" The trustees challenged the minister to do the ftf Q a6ith togal boards on new direction for public education. fund provincial- ly mandated programs, assist with costs of special programs that Scar- borough Board of Educa- tion incurs due to the city's diverse population and stop adding costs land increas- ing programs while calling for reductions.

"When we commenced this project, we expected that the SRT Extension would be in operation by 1997," said Campbell. "This was an important consideration for us because studies showed that 66% of the approx- imately 1300 adult re-entry students accommodated by the facility rely on the 1TC.

T hanks to the great strides made in modem medicine, the number of people over 85 will more than double in the next 15 years. As Ontario's population grows older, more and more people will rely on in-home services. Services like nursing, meal programs, physio- therapy and homemaking. Seniors, people with physical disabilities and others want the choice of staying in their own homes. But our current system simply won't meet the demand. What could be more comforting than being cared for in familiar surroundings? On a street you know. Around people you love. Surrounded by those things that are so much part of your life. We need to make sure today that in-home services will be available tomorrow. That's why we're introducing Neighbours.

March 29, 1995 THE NEWS/POST Page 5 Be Part Of A Blooming Miracle - Daffodil Days On a spring day in 1956, a group of Canadian Cancer Society volunteers decided to decorate the tables for a Cancer Tea with daffodils. These early spring blossoms, they felt, represented a sense of hope - renewed life. This sense of hope and renewed life was exactly the feeling which the Canadian Cancer Socie- ty volunteers wanted to ex- press in every facet of their work - raising funds to sup- port the work of cancer researchll, providing ser- vices to cancer patients and their families and educating the public about cancer. From then on Metro Toronto has annually celebrated Daffodil Days at the beginning of April. Other cities followed suit. Beyond this, in every large and small centre in On- tario, Daffodil Sunday is now celebrated - with bou- quets of daffodils decorating churches of all denomination with pastors mentioning the day from the pulpit_ with generous - hearted florists donating the blooms and groups distributing the flowers. Volunteers sell both fresh and hand -made daffodils at malls. plazas. schools and businesses. Daffodils will also be sold at TTC stations from Mar.30 to Apr.2. Here is how the system works. Starting from Vic- toria and Vancouver, 45 foot trailers with their cargo of daffodils wind through British Columbia, around the twisting roads of the Rockies, past the rolling foothills of Alberta. across the flat expanse of the prairies, and finally to the lakes and forests that dot the rugged landscape of Northern Ontario_ Last year six of those trucks were destined for Ontario carrying over 11,000 boxes containing nearly 6 million blooms. Deliveries were made to cancer society volunteers in villages, towns and cities throughout the province - each truck making as many as 25 stops. The message of hope which every volunteer in - Invention Convention At Terry Fox P.S. On Thurs. Mar.2 the Grade 4 5 class at Terry Fox P.S. hosted a fabulous display of their inventions. Some of the inventions premiering were a remote control carrier and velcro sheets for the best -made bed. The inventions on display at the invention Convention were part of a cross - curricular unit. In Science, the students worked hard to create a brand-new pro- duct, or take an existing produce and improve on it. In support of their inven- tions the students learned about many aspects of creating and marketing a new invention. In Math the students constructed 3-D robotsl; in Language, they wrote stories and newspaper articles about imaginary inventions and how they would work. This carried over into their art activities where they il- lustrated these new "inven- tions". Reading included oral and aural activities where they made presentations in front of their peers and to a panel of teachers. And finally, in social studies students worked on resear- ching skills, culminating in each student producing a -Tribute to an Inventor project... New Scarborough Building Permits & Fees Scarborough Council has passed a new Building Per- mits By-law iNo.24387) which became effective March Ist-1995. The by-law introduces a new method of calculating building permit fees. The new method was developed in consultation with the Toronto Area Chief Building Officials Commit- tee (TACBOC) in 1992. Per- mit fees will be based on a Service Index for a specific group of occupancy rather than a prescribed value or construction cost estimate. The service indices have been developed to reflect the complexity and extent of service provided by the city in the areas of plan review and site inspee- tions. Prior to finalizing the Ser- vice Index method, TAC - BOC met with represen- tatives from the building industry. Specific recom- mendations from the in- dustry have been incor- porated in the new system. For further information regarding this new method, contact V►sh Bhapkar at 396-7092 or Bill Hutz at 396-7313. Copies of the com- plete by-law or the revised fee schedule are available on request.

Caring for those with memory loss is a seven days a week. 24 hours a day challenge. This can become very stressful and the one pro- viding the care often feels quite isolated and alone. Catherine Brookman, Vice President of Community Services for the Dom Mills Foundation commented that "the funding will go a long way in assisting Taylor Place to enhance respite care by increasing the service to those in need in our community." Respite workers are very special people. They must be creative and inventive in order to capture the trust of a cognitively impaired senior. This can involve picking up a hint of a past hobby or area of interest and creating activities that bring back those memories. Once trust is gained, then a relationship builds that gives the worker some freedom to provide care ranging from personal care to meal preparation, activities and supervision at the client's home. The program will also provide counselling and support to the family. Taylor Place Community Services provides assistance to over 2500 seniors annually. The ser- vices vary from meals on wheels to homemaking. home help, home maintenance, friendly visiting and transportation to medical appointments. There are also two day pro- grams - one for the frail elderly and another for those with Alzheimer disease. Canadian wildlife F-ederation Sage Thrasher Conserving Wildlife for gou!

Two Hawkeye rookies who have made a strong impact in their first season are Chicago native Ed Rozell and Chris Davis, from Pickering, Ont. Although they come from different nations, Davis .and Rozell have a lot in common. Both came to Iowa because of the Big Ten's excellent reputation and because they knew they would make an im- mediate impact on the team. Both were recruited for their sprinting talents, with Rozell also being asked to compete in the long jtunp. He holds Iowa's season - best leap of 23-2 3:4- in that event. Davis is the team's leading 600 metres runner, with a time of 1:22.03. Both had success at the indoor conference meet last month and are looking for- ward to the outdoor season. "I have higher expecta- tions for myself outdoors because that's where 1 always perform the best," Davis said. "I feel inhibited indoors because the track is so small and the curves are really tight." At the conference meet, Rozell finished 9th in the long jump, th in the 400 metres and joined Davis, Andre Morris and George Page for a fifth -place finish in the mile relay. Davis also placed sixth in the 400 metres. The two freshmen seem to be making the adjustment to collegiate life, but not without some difficulties. Davis only ventures home to Canada twice a year, during winter and summer breaks. He also relies sole- ly on the postal service for communication with friends and family in Canada, so as to not get saddled with telephone bills. "It's hard being a stu- dent athletel," he em- phasized. "You have to balance a class schedule, study time, track schedule for both practice and com- petitions, and what little social life you can scrape up so you don't go crazy " Local Pony Clubs Gear Up For 1st. Event On Sat.Apr.8 members of several local Pony Clubs are expected to compete at the 1995 Central Ontario Region Quiz at Ajax High School. The Rouge Valley. I-eitchcroft, Sunnybrook, Ajax and Pickering Pony Clubs, with members from this area, are expected to compete against teams from most other Central Ontario branches. Pony Club is an interna- tional movement for young people (aged 21 or under) and is the largelst equestrian organization in the world. It offers a wide variety of horse -related ac- tivities and competitions. Quiz is different from most other Pony Club ac- tivities in that it does not require horses or ponies. Pony Clubs compete as team, each branch being allowed one team at each level of difficulty. D level is for the younger or less ex- perienced members. C level for the intermediates, and the A B level for the older and more experienc- ed members. There wil be four phases: a written test done in- dependently: a visual test where competitors have to identify strange, obscure and unusual horsy objects by sight, again in- dependently (older com- petitors often have to read an X -Ray); and at the C and A B levels two oral tests. The first oral test is done in team and is mandatory for all three levels. The se- cond oral test is done by in - Scarborough Philharmonic Concert "Love, Last and Larceny: Just Another Night at the Opera.- Guest conductor Errol Gay, joins the Scar- borough Philharmonic to present an evening of opera favourites.

There will also be "Quiz Stations". These are usual- ly games that teams can play to fill time between phases. Clubs may also compete in a "Projects" category, in which they prepare displays or exhibits based on any one of 25 topics set out in the entry form. These are again organized separately for each level. To form a Quiz team, most Pony Club branches hold meetings and try -outs over a period of about six weeks. Often, the A B level Pony Clubbers coach the other teams. The Regional Quiz corn - BIG A4 SU4U. WE 00 ITALL! CROSS MOVERS Offices, houses i opts.

It is a swim program geared to stroke technique and the competitive swim- ming style. Many of the coaches are excellent com- petitive swimmers current- ly training with Scar- borough Swim Club or former swimmers with the club. The winter session of Olympic Way ended in March with an exciting meet at Laurier Pool. Teams from Mowat, Camp- bell, Cedarbrae, West Hill, Pearson and Wexford Pools competed in relays and individual events in all strokes - Freestyle, Backstrokel, Breaststroke and Butterfly - for ribbon awards 1st. to 6th. place. Swimmers also earn award pins for achievements in 6 different levels taught each session. Once the top 3 Gold, Silver and Bronze levels are achieved swimmers may graduate to the Scar- borough Swim Club pro- gram for professional coaching and more train- ing hours per week. The spring session of Olympic Way, with 20 lessons over 10 weeks is starting this week at a pool near you.

March 29, 1996 8%ll Watt's Worlds The Smile Theatre Com pany is the only profes- sional company in Canada that brings live theatre to senior citizens who live in residences or long care facilities. Last winter alone, it gave 250 perfor- mances of original musicals in 70 such facilities. As is the case with most theatrical companies. however, operating funds aren't always as bountiful as one could wish. To supplement its cor- porate fund raising cam- paign. the Smile Company is presenting two perfor- mances of The Light in W innie's Window. It's a musical about an English war bridlel, Winnie Meldsl, who came to Canada 50 years ago to join her hus- band. Cliff in Brandon. Manitoba where he had his own radio program. The book is by Tom Kneebone. the artistic director of the company, music and lyrics are by Dinah Christie and the choreography is by William Orlowski. The two performances take place on Sat. Apr.8th. at 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. at the Jane Malletlt Theatre. The matinee is especially for war brides or anyone else related to or connected with them. Ticket prices of $15 and $25 include a recep- tion with tea and biscuits after. Mrs. Fields will be in attendance. The evening show starts with a reception and silent auction at 6 p.m. Mrs. Fields will again be pre- sent, this time as guest of honour. Tickets range in price from 540 through to $75 An engaging show and a nice cuppa. Sounds good to us. And Chnckle% Professional comedy is serious business. Bennv Kubelsky, , for example. wasn't a harry man of himself but after he toned his talent of timing. ac- quired as a vaudeville musician, and married them to a studied technique of delivery, the became a solid gold comedian. The four members of Comedy On Wry might each be personally funny. Their performance strength, however, is seem- ingly founded on polished sophistication like that of the man who metamor- phosed into ... Jack Benny. The troupe is currently presenting "Old Enough to Know Better," a collection of comedy sketches and blackouts in sound and mime, at the Factory Theatre Studio Cafe ( Adelaide and Bathurst). The Benny influence is manifest throughout. The topics are timely and the delivery is seamless. Resultsl are not always taable thumpingly hilarious but the show is amusing and leaves one wanting more. Highlights include a bit about three men minding their babies in prams. It's a scatological scamper that loses some impact by repetition but the macho premise is a clevler one none the less. Then there's the sketch in which an annoyed "Jeanette MacDonald", as sung by Carol Lempert. be- moans her bad luck being cast opposite the supposed singing capon, Nelson Ed- dy as played by Scott Wat- son. Miss Lempert, by the way, is a delightful singer. Mr. Watson is mindful of early Zero Mostel and the later Sid Caesar. The balance of the troupe is made up of Da, :d Brin- ton and Kevin Wright, both of whom have a quietly bemused and amusing air about them. Those of you who missed Old Enough when it played at Top o' The Senator dur- ing Comedy Slam '94 should catch it now. It's still a pleasure in a Victor Moore sot of way. �# Around and About Your Dining &Entertainment Guide On Stage One must love theatre muchly to enjoy Blood Wedding now playing at Wellington Space, a de- fiantly decrepit building on Stewart Street in the Bathurst Wellington area.

Even so, his works compel some ap- preciation of the way in which everyday tribula- tions can assume the dimensions of grand tragedy - But, Blood Wedding wasn't and isn't gsrand tragedy and all the flamen- co dancing in the world doesn't make it so.

"However , fewer than one per cent of the thousands of visitors to Greece ever set foot in its spectacular interior," points out Lewie Gon- salves, founder and presi- dent of Worldwide Adven- tured, in describing that ancient land of gods, myths and legends, a historic land of which 80 per cent are mountains. "The best way to see the real Greece is to walk the mountains," adds Gon- salves, who heads a Cana- dian company based in Toronto. which for 20 years has been a North American leader in innovative and exciting vacations. -We walk from village to village on forgotten mule paths. We meet lively and generous villagers and see a lifestyle that has sre- mained largely unchanged for hundreds of years." Worldwide Adventures, in partnership with Trekking Hellas, has developed an eight months program of walks and treks, of rafting, bird -watching and mountain -biking to explore and discover the off -beat and unspoiled regions of Greece. Worldwide also of- fers an extensive sailing program with 30 to 50 -foot yachts. "Our treks range from comfortable and easy walks to the most challeng- ing," explains Gonsalves. "On all our treks we take the time to smell the flowers --- that's the main reason for walking, to discover the real country and the real people. We stop frequently to admire a viewl, identify a flower or bird. to take a swim or to talk to a shepherd. "The same holds true for our sailing vacations. We take our time to explore the magic and beauty of these ancient waters and islands — where Ulysses, Homer and Jason sailed to heroic glory. where Alexander and St. John the Divine became legends. Our highly trained Greek skip- pers know the unspoiled gems among the 2,000 islands of the Aegean and Ionian seas.** For further information, brochures and detailed itineraries of Worldwide's 1995 trips to adventure, contact Worldwide Adven- tures, 36 Finch Aye.W..North York, Ont.,M21K 2G9.

What's On In France Lucien Barriere Groep on a Winning Streak With eleven casinos and twelve exclusive hotels in its hared, some would say that Lucien Barriere Group is sitting with a full house. Four of the country's top ten casinos are part of this group namely: Cannes Croisette, Deauville, Enghien and TYouville, and another, the Nice Ruhl, is partly theirs. Their success is partly based on the decentralized organization of their rather autonomous resorts each of which includes a casino, a deluxe hotel, restaurants, exercise facilities such as golf, tennis and spa, and all located in regions with high tourism potential.
