May 5. 1982 The Pickering Blue Dolphins Swim Club held its Annual Swim-a-Thon on Sun. April 25, at Dunbarton High School from 9 a.m_ to 1 p.m. There was a 90% attendance by parents who counted their children's laps. Solite children swam IOU laps, however, many swam 200 laps or three miles. This year was a great financial success. A total of $3,571 was raised in pledges which will be used toward club ex- penses. Pictured with Mayor Anderson are Katrina Harding and Paul Rivett, the two top fund raisers. The Mayor has in- itiated a tradition with the club by inscribing these children's mimes on a trophy, which is displayed outside his office. These two competitors also receive a congratulatory letter from Mayor Anderson. Also picuted above with some of the club members is Mrs. Isabelle Harding, the captain of the winning team which raised $915_ Members of this team included Katrina Har- ding, Ralph Erlebach, Shawn Christian and Jordan Rodger. These children will enjoy a dinner donated by Frank Vetere's of Pickering. Katrina will also be able to spend $100 at Bay Sports, partially donated by the swim club, and Paul Rivett won an adidas bag donated by Canadian Tire of Pickering. ( Photos by Vic Harding) Bell Canada Spent $425,000 In Ajax Pickering Bell Canada spent more than $425,000 upgrading telephone service in the Ajax -Pickering area last year according to Orma Lyttle, local Bell Manager. In a letter to local council, Mrs. Lyttle said the pro- jects included $250,000 for subdivision growth, rehabilitation and com- mercial and industrial modernization. She said that Bell employs 782 people in the Oshawa area and their annual payroll exceeds $14.9 million. Bell paid more than $362,000 in gross receipts tax to the municipality. The gross receipts tax is a special tax levied against telecommunications com- panies. Total tax paid to the municipality by Bell was $384,000. In 1981 Bell's total capital `li1Ul !� I ` •1 R.

This project is for Against At the general meeting on April 27 the Ajax- Pickirng Board of Trade voted against the closing of Liverpool Rd. cloverleaf because it was felt that the anticipated extension of Go -Train from Pickering Terminal to Oshawa in 1995 and the construction of Whites Rd. cloverleaf in 1964 would relieve traffic Pressure. It appears that the Ministry of Transport and Communication was con- sidering closing this inter- change permanently as early as 1984. The new Whites Road cloverleaf is scheduled for completion in 1964 and MTC feels that Liverpool Rd. interchange will then be obsolete. A majority of members of Board of Trade also voted against the dumping of radio active soil at the Bear Road Landfill site. The group feels that should the contaminated soil be allowed to be dumped at Beare, one can easily anticipate that Pickering will be a less desirable place in which to live and, as such, affect business and property values. reconstruction of this sec- tion of Highway 7 to cur- rent design standards. Reconstruction will include upgrading of vertical align - Ment, widening of pave- ment, drainage improve- ment and an urban section through the Village of Brougham. The existing urban sec- tions in the Village of Locust Hill and Green River will also be upgraded to current standards, thereby providing this sec- tion of Highway 7 with im- proved safety and rideability. Work on the project is scheduled to begin in May, 1982 with completion set for early summer, 1983. The contract is awarded to Elirpa Construction and Materials Limited, of Pickering, Ontario at a cost of $3.442,583. Reviews System In March 1982, in cooperation with the On- tario Ministry of Educa- tion, the Durham Board of Education entered upon its first system -wide review of education to obtain public opinion on how our educa- tional system is perceived by students, parents, teachers and ratepayers. Since that time, five ma- jor subcommittees, con- sisting of over ISO in- terested citizens, have spent hundreds of hours researdmig and preparing qunsttiarnaires and surveys to obtain public opinion on: Attitudes Towards Educa- tion; Curriculum and Its Implementation; Discipline In Our Schools; Financing Education in Durham and French Education in Durham. During the week of May 17 the actual survey will be done; questionnaires will be sent to 714 secondary school students, their parents and 561 of their teachers. In addition, 746 elementary pupils' parents will receive questionnaires and 600 elementary teachers as well. A random selection of 900 additional ratepayers in Durham will also be asked to respond for a grand total of over 4,000 questionnaires to be answered by Durham residents. When the analysis of the responses is completed by our study groups next fall the Ministry of Education will appoint an independent team to come in to validate the study. The purpose of this external team will be to confirm, modify or re- ject the recommendations contained in the report. As a result of this cooperative evaluation, it is hoped that the report will go to the Board of Educa- tion containing recommen- dations for the improve- ment of education in Durham. It then becomes the Board's prerogative to either implement or to re- ject the recommendations. The cooperation of all citizens is essential if the study is to be successful. If you are asked to respond to a survey, your cooperation will be appreciated. rage z I rlt NtW51POST Wed. May 5, 1982 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Much Wants More We feel sure that many citizens in our society have a new concept of the family doctor now that his or her professional association has beaten the Ontario government or OHIP, or in the final analysis, we taxpayers, into shape. The new contract is reputed to give the doctors a notch forward from their average salary of $90,000 a year to $122,000 by three years from now. Not much has been heard from the average citizen but our ear -to -the -ground tells us that most people do not believe that the "average" doctor is worth $90,000 a year, when the average salary in the industrial sector runs from $12,000 to $20,000 a year. Some doctors are worth a lot more for their skill and knowledge, but the average physician isn't. No matter how, the Ontario Medical Association plays this hand it has diminished the status of doctors in the minds of their patients and left them asking: "Is there nothing left in society but the lure of the almighty buck?" Of course, we mustn't forget the poor electricians who have just rejected an extra $3.50 an hour ( the minimum wage for some of us humans) and want a 63% increase from their present $18 per hour. No doubt the doctors have shown the way for these poor "doctors of your house wiring". With a society slipping into greed and lack of care for the rest of the human beings struggling to stay in the race. we would expect the next news story will report that mothers have decided to go on strike against their offspring because their rewards - financially - are certainly not up to scratch. looking at it from a cold-blooded electrician or medical doc- tor point of view. Declining Vacancies Businesses seeking office space in Toronto's suburbs are now finding that reduced vacancies are restricting suitable opportunities. However, strong development activity sug- gests that relief is on the way. According to a recent office space summary from A. E. LePge Commercial Real Estate Services, 1962 should represent the "trough" in the suburban vacancy cycle as the development process is stimulated in response to these declining vacancies. In explaining the development of market conditions that have produced the 'wait-and-see' situation for users of suburban office space, the A. E- LePage report highlights the dramatic interaction of supply and demand factors. During 1961, says LePage, 27 new buildings were com- pleted in the suburbs. Total new space was a *,phenomena]" 3-3 million sq. ft. including a record 1.5 million sq. ft. added in Metro North alone. But due to record suburban demand of 3.6 million sq. ft. and combined with the fact that much of the new space was owner -occupied and therefore non- competitive, vacant space by year-end had declined to 1.9 million sq. ft. or 7.6 percent of the total suburban market. LePage statistics show that the vacancy reduction has taken place in all segments of the suburban office market, including Mississauga. Surprisingly. Metro North now has the lowest vacancy, even though it received the largest amount of new space in 1961 i 550,000 sq. ft. in the North Yonge Corridor alone). The two percentage point vacancy reduction, to a relatively low 6.0 percent, is to a large extent attributed to the high pro- portion of non-competitive space to total new space. Vacancies have also declined in :Metro East, again as a result of the high proportion of non-competitive space addi- tions to total space added- Here, the overall vacancy now stands at less than 7 percent, but is appreciably lower for Class A space only. Declining vacancies are also the story in Metro West, where the present rate of approximately 8-5 percent is down some five percentage points from the end of 1980. According to William B. Moore, Senior Vice President & Manager of A. E. LePage's Office Leasing Division, supply in Metro North and Metro East has declined to the point where medium to large size tenant requirements are becoming more difficult to service. **This diminished supply of larger space opportunities is expected to continue as only a limited amount of com- petitive space will be completed in the first three quarters of this year." Even though new space may enter the market to alleviate a relative space shortage in Northeast Metro, average Class A building rates can be expected to rise at least 20 percent per annurn in 1982 and 1983 because of inflation and PICKERING news-, posf_ Published every Wednesday by Watson Publishing Company Limited, Est. 1950 Postal Address: Box 111.

(Photo - Boa Watson) Enniskillen Conservation Area Spring has finally arrived, and the Central Lake On- tario Conservation Authori- ty celebrated with the first annual Enniskillen wildflower stow. On Sun. May 2, authority staff led interpretive walks through the Enniskillen Conservation Area. Displays, slide presenta- tions and film depicting wildflowers and other con- servation subjects were set up in the barn. Maple syrup, produced this spring at Purple Woods Conservation Area, was available for sale. Enniskillen Conservation Area offers a variety of natural habitats, each with its own types of wildflowers. The most New Policy by Gay Abbate Scarborough is reviewing its policy on lighting walkways but Alderman Maureen Prinsloo wonders why residents want lights in walkways. They attract "kids with beer bottles in the summer" Prinsloo told Works and Transportation Committee last week. Prinsloo said she can hear the noise from one near her home. Under Scarborough's new policy, there will be two kinds of walkways - bikeways and trails. Bikeways will be lighted, paved, fenced and will link a community with stores and major roadways. 'trails will not be lighted and may not even be paved since they are for recrea- tional uses. But if you use a trail in a park, you could be fined $1,000 for trespassing. Parks are officially closed at 11 p.m. and if you use them after that hour, you do so at your own risk. Despite the new policy, the borough will be flexible about bikeways and trails according to Controller Joyce Trimmer. "It's the people who live there that we're trying to accommodate, not the planners," Trimmer stated. Arcading to Alderman Prinsloo, the change in policy is "slight". The borough decided to review its policy because public requirements have chang- ed.

About a month ago, Jack Morrison, the man who head- ed up the office, decided to resign. Don Brooks, Director of the department's Verifica- tion and Collection Division in Ottawa was about to get the job. So far, it's a fairly simple tale. For bureaucrat Brooks, though, the decision was not at all simple. He wanted the promotion, but he apparently didn't want to move to London because of a "family commitment" in Ottawa. The solution for Brooks: move the Ontario regional of - What's important is not that Brooks wasn't allowed to move the office, although Rompkey's decision undoubt- edly saved Canadians at least 5100,000 in employee moving expenses. What's really significant is that Brooks' attitudes and mind -set are similar to those of many other bureaucrats, all supposedly servants of the public. The fact is, many of our mandarins see themselves as mini -Gods, making decisions that please their own fancy and convenience, rather than using common sense and pro- tecting taxpayer dollars. Brooks' scheme was shot down by a politician. Perhaps it's time more cabinet ministers followed Rompkey's example.

Dr. EK. Fitrgerald Medical Officer of Health Middlefield Residents Stop by Gay Abbate A group of Scarborough residents won one battle at Scarborough Planning Board recently but have to wait one month for the out- come of another. More than 140 homeowners in the Passmore -Middlefield area signed a petition objecting to a shopping centre on the northwest corner of In- gleton and Middlefield Rd. The residents were especially concerned about a proposed restaurant for the plaza. The petition re- quested that the lands re - Recreation Owes $75,000 The Scarborough Recrea- tion and Parks Department is in debt to the borough's Works Department to the tune of $75,000 and Board of Control wants to know who is going to pay the bill. The cast arose from the construction of sewers for the Scarborough Village Recreation Centre. Construction of the centre is $75,000 over its authoriz- ed $2.6 million because the Works Dept. had to go deeper than expected to in- stall sewers. Part of the over -budget was due to the paving of parking lots so as to reduce future maintenance costs. Since the Works Dept. did the work and paid the bills. they now have to be reim- bursed by Recreation and Parks Dept. which authorized the work. But Recreation and Parks dept. does not have the money in its budget. C introller Brian Harrison asked the borough treasurer to report back as to how the '-bad debt- is go- ing to be paid. Harrison also wants to know bow the project was allowed to get so high over budget. Advertise Positions Scarborough Planning Board has decided to advertise for the five citizen positions on Scar- borough's Environmental Advisory Committee. The term of the present members expired last November but was extend- ed until Scarborough Coun- cil trade a decision on two appointments to Planning Board. Since Council decided to extend the term of office of Pat Petersen and John Larke until November, Alderman Prinsloo felt that Planning Board should do the same with the present member of the EAC. Instead, the board decided to advertise in local papers indicating that the four in- cumbents will re -apply. Mentally Retarded Awareness Week National Mentally Retarded Awareness Week is May 1045 this year. Pat Sparks, Chairperson of Public Education, will bring two films for a public presentation on Mon. May 10 at 7 p.m., at Albert Campbell Library. The films are "Debbie" and "My Friend". Pat Sparks, a volunteer with the Metro Toronto Association for Mentally Retarded, Scarborough Division, and a parent of a child who is mentally retarded, will lead a discussion on the films shown. main parkland "in perpetuity for the enjoy- ment of all the residents in this area". Residents told Planning Bd. at a special night meeting that a restaurant in this location would lead to vandalism, noise and garbage problems. Members of the Board agreed and although they approved the commercial centre, they voted to delete restaurants as an allowable use in the plaza. For those residents objec- ting to parkland being turn- ed into a residential development, the evening ended in frustration as the matter was deferred for a month. Residents on Ketchum Place objected to a land swap between the borough and Wimpey Development Ltd. because they had paid an extra $6,000 :$9.000 for their homes opposite the park. The borough initiated the acre per acre land ex- change because the change in boundaries would make the design of park facilities easier. Residents who turned up to the Planning Bd. meeting were angry that a new subdivision plan was introduced by Planning Staff and Wimpey. Alderman Joe DeKort supported the residents and argued that they were being mislead by a plan which they had not had time to studv. The deferral for one month will give the com- munity and Recreation and Park department staff time to study the new plan.

Of course she does Broad- way show tunes ( one puzzles why she doesn't sing Goodnight My So- meone) and does them beautifully. But, she also sings Harry Nillson and Melissa Manchester. The latter's Come In From The Rain never sounded better. Still, for us the highlight of her performance was her final selection. It's a song we haven't heard before called Between Goodbyes. You must believe us when we write that we have never been so moved. A beautiful woman, a rich and sweetly powerful voice, superb orchestra- tions and great songs . . could one ask for more? Yes, one could .. the oppor- tunity to see and hear her every night of her engage- ment here. We hope to do so. Watch for us, we're the one with goose pimples and a lump in the throat. Migawd, she's a great per- former and .. a Class Act! UPCOMING: Tonight we'll be at The Teller's Cage for the local premiere of Key Exchange starring Mark Harmon and Cristina Raines of Flamingo Road. They are both incredibly attractive and talented people and we look forward to seeing them in person. Still, it has to be admitted that our thoughts might be wandering in the direction of others as we watch them perform. Mr. Harmon is the son of football great Tommy Harmon and movie actress Elyse Knox. Tommy Harmon is still remembered by us for his performance as himself in Harmon Of Michigan which we once saw on a double bill with Smith of Minnesota at the old Apollo in Toronto's Junction. We are told that Miss Raines is not related to ac- tress Ella Raines and we must accept that. But, we still insist that she looks like the sultry beauty who co-starred with Randy Scott (what a name for a Celt! ) in Corvette K-225. Tomorrow night we'll be at The O'Keefe for another performance of Napoli by the NBOC. We were somewhat underwhelmed by it at its premiere last fall but sometimes things improve the second time 'round. Anyway, we'll have full reviews on both these at- tractions. Have to tell you though that we'll be seeing Key Exchange with our middle daughter and we won't dare to be unkind to Mr. Harmon. It's tough be- ing a reviewer and a father! SUMMER FUN: It seems that we might have a sum- mer after all and if so, it follows that summer theatre will once again become part of our lives. Good friend Leslie Cun- nian writes from Peter- borough that she's now Publicity Director of Arbor Theatre and anxious for all in Toronto to know what's being offered. We couldn't agree more. It seems to us that too many people are willing to drive to Stratford but unwilling to spend about ninety minutes in their car to drive to the lovely city of Peter- borough. One can leave Toronto about 4:30, drive to Peterborough, enjoy a fine meal (there really are good dining places there), take in a good show and still be back in T.O. in time for a good night's sleep. It's our intention to review some and maybe all of the shows scheduled and we look forward once again to seeing Graham Hart of CHEX-TV. The four scheduled shows for The Arbor Theatre are Two For The Seesaw. (We remember Herim Fonda and Anne Bancroft doing it on Broadway). I'll Be Back Before Midnight, Blithe Spirit and Talley's Folly. The last named is the play that allowed Judd Hirsch of Taxi to prove that he rally can act' Looks like a good season and we look forward to it. It begins on June 17th and runs until September 4th. All plays are presented at Trent University's Wen - jack Theatre. We'll have more details in future col- umns. Can't resist wonder- ing though. why The Arbor hasn't thought of presen- ting Tr'eat's Last Case. The Phoenix Theatre has announced its summer season but one supposes it'll depend on whether or not the Adelaide Court Theatre can be ••repaired'. in time after the recent fire. Anyway, the plays scheduled are President Wilson In Paris, The Rite by W.O. Mitchell, True West and Country Matters. The last named is supposed to open on December 28th but one presumes that's a misprint. If it isn't, we're in for a helluva long summer!

CWL Executive Installed St. Joseph C-W.L.'s new executive was officially in- stalled in a beautiful ceremony during 11 a.m. Mass by Father Martin Brennan. After Mass about 70 mothers and daughters went to the Scarborough Golf and Country Club for the annual delicious brunch. The guest speaker was Stella Collins who teaches at Mnsgr. Fraser College of the Scarborough Foreign Missions and this year her theme was "illiteracy" Stella explained that the school is an offshoot started by the Board of Education about seven years ago for students who cannot fit into the regular schools. It began at Albert Campbell Library with about 17 pupils and now they have 120 pupils, most- ly over the age of 18, and they are looking for more space. Their goal is to have one teacher for every three of four pupils. The program is funded through the Metropolitan Separate School Board which provides the material to work with and other related items. Social Services provides transportation and other necessitites as requited. The pupils work at their own speed and are en- couraged to help one another. Some might need only upgr'ad'ing for three or four months in order to be at least partially, if not completely, self-sufficient in society and off welfare. The puils are very polite and helpful to others and only need a chance to prove themselves, Stella explain- ed. The school is badly in need of volunteers to work with them for two to four hours a week, if you find you have some love to spare phone 261-4958 or 267-7530 and ask for Stella or Heather.

May 5, 1982 ■ Just Around The Corner by Gordon Ashberry Season Coming To End The local theatrical season is coming to a close. More people are enjoying their presentations and as should be expected the calibre of the perfor- mances is definitely im- proving. There is more care and at- tention to detail in the stage sets and the costumes, for the most part, are being designed for the part and for the actor. NOW Better Publicity On stage, it is true, the community theatre groups are becoming quite profes- sional in their attitude. Sad to report, though, many of them have yet to get their act together when it comes to advertising and publici- ty. And this goes in full measure for the Associa- tion of Community Theatres. It would strike me that after all of the efforts of this newspaper in pro- moUng theatre in this area. the association would have advised us of the details of the Awards Dinner. Surely we could have received a press release ahead of time. And to make it even less understandable, we have yet to receive an official notification of the winners in the various categories. It is just became we have friends that we were able to list the prize winners earlier. The folks in the Arts have a tendency to moan about the difficulty in raising public awareness which translates into audiences and funds but all too many of them forget that they have a responsibility. I feel that we have tried to do our part but it is a two-way street. Some Groups Great There are, of course, some groups that are very well organized in their promo- tional departments. They get copy to us in plenty of time, they supply pictures, provide tickets and some even go so far as to buy advertising. But to those other groups may I suggest that over the summer they give con- siderable thought to the matter of publicity. Too Much For One I find it very strange for me to register any serious criticism of a production by Stage Centre Productions. As a rule I am praising the fine work of their Artistic Director, L. Garth Allen. But this time, alas, I am critical. Garth should have brought out his pruning shears. The play is "THE THREE MUSKETEERS" and is currently on view at Fair- view Library Theatre. The program says it is an adap- tation by Peter Raby of the famous swashbucking story by Alexandre Dumas. They should have said ..freely adapted' It is a satire of the original. As Garth told me at intermission, At is one aB joke.. At times it almost becomes a buriesque but it is funny. Most of the humour is in exaggeration. John Illingworth as Car- dinal Richelieu is comical- ly sinister and has stolen his funny walk directly from John Clees of Monty Python fame. = or� E, iong —- — In fact, if they had added a couple of Toronto Maple Leafs jokes it could have been an overlong Wayne and Shuster skit. The trouble with the show is its length. Three hours to tell one funny story is just too much. By intermission I was enjoying it and I remarked that the skillful presentation made this a truly funny show. When we returned to our seats at 10:15 1 expected a short second act to finalize things. Instead, it went on and on for another hour - and -a -half. Thirty minutes could be trimmed and never be missed. The audience reaction was unexpected for me. I am wondering whether they were familiar with the classic movies. The ghosts of Fairbanks and Hayward still haunt the halls. They were dead serious but in retrospect do appear ripe for ridicule. But you had to be there. The cast is mammoth and must include every mobile member of the company. As usual they are all above expectation in their perfor- mances and that is why the show is well worth seeing. It is action packed and is the familiar story of the farm boy from Gascony coming to Paris to join The King's Musketeers. While still a cadet. D'Ar- tagnan joins forces with Three Musketeers, Por- thos, Aramis and Athos to fight The Cardinal's Guard, to prevent war with England and to protect the honour of numerous ladies. They also have many amours.

Also a kind word for K. Reed Needles who directed the sword fights. They were sharp. Again, a good idea, an ex- cellent cast and a worthy show with which to end a very successful season. "THE THREE MUSKETEERS" con- tinues at the Fairview- library airviewLibrary Theatre until May 15th. Many evenings are sold out so ovations are necessary. The number to call is 2554370. A Small Ovation For 25 years The Yorkminstrels have been providing shows of the highest calibre. Their range of productions has run the gamut from Gilbert & Sullivan to light opera to Broadway musicals. With such a reputation and with a membership of over 150, this group can call on the best talent available. It also has the spirit and determination to make it one of the finest musical theatres in Canada. As evidence, it was again a top winner in the ACT THEA Awards. Taking five 'Bests' in Lighting, Direc- tor, Costumes, Musical Director and Production. It was expected, then, that this production of 'AP- PLAUSE" would be a suc- cess. And it was. At the same time I do believe that they have had better per- formances. For some reason, the show last Friday seemed to be a trifle rough. It lacked the sophistication and con- trol. Impossible to pin- point, perhaps, but evident. The orchestra seemed a bit thin and slightly out of tune. Part of this could have been in arrangements and part could be in the music itself. with the ex- ception of the title tune, Ap. plause, the rest of the music is forgettable. 1 am unable to call them melodies. But they do fit the mood and story line which is important. Based on the film, 'All About Eve', the story is of a young aspiring actress from Wisconsin who works her way into the household of actress Margo Charnn- ing- Then by lies, deceit, illicit affairs and everything rot- ten, climbs over people un- til she attains theatrical stardom. Of course, she gets her come-uppance in the end. The part was played on Broadway by Lauren Bacall and, unfortunately, the director could not envi- sion anyone else doing it. As a result, Lyn Bastyovanszky tried to mimic Bogie's wife and her reading of Margo suffered. Lyn is obviously an ex- cellent actress with a good singing voice. She is a very attractive lady and is well suited for the part. But I doubt that she has such a deep, sultry- voice naturally. If she has, then I have to alter my opinion, for some of her dialogue was lost and her low notes slurrpd cell, the direc- cor, did a fine job in all other aspects. He should have remembered that the story is about Margo, not Lauren. Alice MacDonald was Eve, the sweet little girl from Wisconsin who turns out to be a capital bitch. Very believable. Bill Dietrich was the long suffering lover of Margo and David James was Howard Benedict, the The Three Musketeers, played by Denys Jones, Wilson Durward and Alan Washbrook is presented by Stag: Centre Productions at Fairview Library Theatre until May 15. This rousing and rollicking new version of the classic play by Alexandre Dumas was first presented by the Stratford Festival. For ticket information and reservations call the box office at 293-7748. Broadway producer. Mary McCandless as Bon- nie handled the musical production numbers very well. And Neal Sandy, he of the CFRB newsroom. and Eve Janes were Mr. and Mrs. Buzz Richards. Both very talented and at ease onstage. waas Ipleasant to see that our good friend John Payne has been discovered for his sexual attraction. He played, Bert. the backstage boss who had a slight affair with Eve during her up- ward climb. The chorus was well rehearsed although the music made it difficult for smooth dance routines. It is a very entertaining evening out and if you can still get tickets you will en- joy the show. Try anyway, the number is 425-2397. "APPLAUSE" continues at Earl Haig Collegiate un- til May 8th and curtain time is 8:15. The school is at 100 Princess Ave just east of North Yonge. Coming up There are at least two very interesting shows that I would have enjoyed see- ing. However, I will be in Jolly Merrie England for a month's holiday. This, of course, is part of the price that one has to Pay when one retires. We are hoping that the climate will be favourable. Not only the weather overhead but the climate between Argentina and England will be clear. The U.K. has enough problems as it is. While I am away my good friend Barbara Madren has offered to review the shows for me. And I thank her very much. The plays will be: Scarborough Theatre Guild is Presenting the Toronto premiere of an original Canadian play, entitled `•HARD MAPLE". It is about growing old, not always gracefully, and is written with warmth and whimsical humour. It dramatizes the antics of 80 year old Clancy and his cronies as they face life's ups and downs with unfail- ing good humour. This play will be the final production at Playhouse 66 as the move commences to the new Scarborough Village Complex. A lot of mixed emotions about that I'm sure. The dates are May 20 to 23 and the 26th to 29th. The last two nights were already sold out a couple of weeks ago, so a hurry -up call to 438-1053 is advised. Stage Door Theatre On May 13, 14 and 15 at Thomson Collegiate you may attend the perfor- mance of the play. "HIGH GROUND". You may possibly know it by the title 'Bonaventure'. It was made into a successful movie. What is it about? Well, I'll tell you. A young woman convicted of mrudering her brother is caught in a flood and she and her police escort are taken to a Nun- nery that is located on high ground. How a nun in charge pro- ves her innocence is the basis of an exciting and dramatic plot. Tickets are only $4 and reservations are taken at 752-2803. 60's Reunion Join your old friends from Rosebank, West Rouge, Bay Ridges and surrounding areas on Sat.

Release First Municipal Environmental Assessment Ontario Environment Minister Keith Norton is in- viting public comment an the first environmental assessment submitted by a municipality under the En- vironmental Assessment Act. The assessment was prepared by the Borough of Scarborough and involves a storm water manage- ment system in the Morn- ingside tributary watersh- ed of the Tapseott in- dustrial district. "The review of the assess- ment, co-ordinated by the Ministry and released to- day. does not represent a decision,.. Mr. Norton said "It is intended to assist the public in its considera- tion of the environmental assessment and of the undertaking. The review presents a preliminary position based on the com- ments of the staff of Pro- vincial ministries and agencies involved" The Environmental Assessment act, enacted in 1975 provides for the assessment of all en- vironmentally significant public and private pro- jects. Initially the Act made en- vironmental assessment mandatory to major pro- vincial projects. Scar- borough's environmental assessment is the first to be submitted to the Environ- ment Minister since the ex- tension of the Act to signifi- cant municipal projects in June 1980. The storm water manage- ment system proposed by Scarborough is designed to serve approximately 388 hectares of land in a new industrial district to be developed by the borough. Scarborough's preferred alternative consists of a shallow channel in Morn- ingside Creek to maintain base flows and a deeper channel for storm flows. A diversion into the Rouge River is also provided. This diversion channel would be constructed north of Finds Ave. Flow would be controlled by a storm management pond. The pad would be equipped with pollution control devices. In the review of the sub- mission the Ministry recommends that addi- tional information be sup.. pled by Scarborough dur- ing the public submission period scheduled for April. Concerned citizens may make written submission to the Minister including a request for public hearings under The Environmental Assessment Act after reviewing Scarborough's Environmental Assess- ment document. The review and the en- vironmental assessment are available for public in- spection at the Minister of the Environment, Central Region, Suite 700, 150 Fer- rand Dr., Don Mills, or the Ministry of the Environ- ment, Environmental Ap. provals Branch,l0th Floor, 135 St. Clair Ave. W., Toronto, M41V 1P5.

Replace Carpeting The carpet in the central area of the Scarborough Civic Centre is going to be replaced because the borough has no place to store the 27 rolls of carpet it bought last year - According to Dennis O'Leary, Director of Building and Maintenance, it is the borough's policy to replace carpeting evey 10 'Leary told Scarborough Board of Control last week that the carpet in the cen- tral space has the equivalent of 2D years wear on it. He pointed out that in some places the carpet is one huge stain and the col- our has faded. But Controller Brian Har- rison thinks the borough can get at least one more year out of the carpet. "I1te stuff in my living room is in worse shape,.. Harrison stated - None of the carpet to be removed will be re- usuable. Because of the glue with which it was put down. the carpet will come off in small pieces. The cost to re -carpet the central space is about $35.000.

Automated System For Libraries Library Board Chairman Larry Hogan announced that the Scarborough Public Library Board has ratified a motion to enter into negotiation with GEAC Canada Ltd., for an automated circulation con- trol system. An automated circula- tion control system represents a major step forward. It will improve ability to exercise control over collections and ser- vice to the public in impor- tant areas. Staff effort spent on time consuming manual operations will be redirected toward improv- ing service to the public. Features of the new system include automatic trapping of reserved titles; ability to check circulation status of material; ability to show borrowers what materials they have outstanding; automatic check-in, check-out, fine calculation and generation of overdue notices; inven- tory control and ability to produce management in- formation and statistical reports. or a wood carving.

May 5, 1982 No Good In Emergency Say Residents by Gay Abbate Residents living on Phar- macy near the overpass south of Ellesmere believe their lives and homes are endangered because no one can find them. These residents live on the part of Pharmacy which is now below the bridge built over the railway line. In order to find these homes, emergency vehicles have to use a round -about way through residential streets thus causing delays in reaching the emergency. Residents asked Scar- borough Works and Transportation Committee to connect Murray Glen Dr. east of the hydro field with Murray Glen Dr. to the west of the hydro property. �a��aalMawa� "INCREASE 1 YOUR INCOME' Learn To Drive 'Tractor Trailer Lor IT�` �ss r�cAaRrs rAary T,&%spW Tracing Centre , This connection would pro- vide a direct access to the homes under the bridge from Warden Ave. Dave Winkworth, ward alderman, told the residents that it would be costly to connect Murray Glen. "If you open it, you have to maintain it. It would be much more expensive," Winkworth argued. He questioned whether the benefits would be worth the cost. Winkworth did not support the residents on Pharmacy because he believes it would merely put more traffic onto residential roads. Murray Glen Dr. would become a short-cut to Warden Ave. according to Winkworth. Stella Bailey of 1247 Phar- macy told the committee that her grandchild had to be rushed to the hospital recently when he stopped breathing. The ambulance came 15 minutes after the police had rushed the child to the hospital. Mrs. Bailey argued that cost should not be a con- sideration. "Money is nothing when you have a life at stake. Money can't replace a life," she told the The " W in committee. Works and Transportation Committee decided not to take any action on the residents' request but to monitor the situation. Fire Damage To Office Dr. Jerry Kucharski's of- fice was smoke damaged when fire broke out in the basement apartment at 652 Brimley Rd. about 3:20 p.m. on Mon. Apr. 26. An electric baseboard heater ignited a bed pushed against the heater in the basement bedroom where Dr. Kucharski's two stop sons live. Although the blaze was confined to the bedroom it caused smoke damage throughout the building. Damage is estimated at $5.000 to the building and $1,000 to contents. The following day Scar- borough firefighters responded to a fire about 2 a.m. at 6 Tardree Place oc- cupied by Herbert Blair. A faulty lamp cord in the basement sitting room is believed to be the cause. The cord ignited the drapes and flames spread to the panelling. A grandmother. who was sleeping in the basement, was awakened by the fire. She called for assistance and she and Mrs. Blair at- tempted to extinguish the fire but were forced out of the building by smoke which caused extensive damage throughout the house.

Fire Damage To Office Dr. Jerry Kucharski's of- fice was smoke damaged when fire broke out in the basement apartment at 652 Brimley Rd. about 3:20 p.m. on Mon. Apr. 26. An electric baseboard heater ignited a bed pushed against the heater in the basement bedroom where Dr. Kucharski's two stop sons live. Although the blaze was confined to the bedroom it caused smoke damage throughout the building. Damage is estimated at $5.000 to the building and $1,000 to contents. The following day Scar- borough firefighters responded to a fire about 2 a.m. at 6 Tardree Place oc- cupied by Herbert Blair. A faulty lamp cord in the basement sitting room is believed to be the cause. The cord ignited the drapes and flames spread to the panelling. A grandmother. who was sleeping in the basement, was awakened by the fire. She called for assistance and she and Mrs. Blair at- tempted to extinguish the fire but were forced out of the building by smoke which caused extensive damage throughout the house.

When you go to the polls next November, you will be electing council members for three years instead of the present two year term of office. Last week, the provincial legislature gave third and final reading to a bill changing the term of office for municipal officials. The new legislation has the unanimous approval of Scarborough Council. Local politicians have lob- bied and supported an ex- tension of the term of of- fice. Here's what some of them had to say about the longer term: Mayor Gus Harris: He's pleased about the 3 years because it'll permit him to complete his 5 year plan which he started 2 years ago. This includes public transit to the Town Centre, improved social services, more jobs close to home, a better tax assess- ment base, improved plan- ning and a more open government. The three year term will also make it easier to initiate programs and policies. Controller Joyce Trimmer. She thinks it'll save tax- payers a lot of money. Every six years, we'll save about t40o,000, the cost of one election. She thinks it's ridiculous to spend so much money every two years when the voter turn -out is only about 25%. She hopes that fewer elections will en- courage a higher voter turn -out. Alderman Ed Fulton: He thinks the extended term will result in better financial management. Council will be more pro- ductive because politicians ..can get on with the job in- stead of worrying about elections". He sees the public as being better serv- ed because it will stop ..posturing' and "elec- tioneering". Alderman Frank Faubert: He believes the result will be more stability. But he's concerned that if someone is acclaimed after serving one 3 year term, it would give him a total of 6 years in office without having to face the electorate. Faubert is also concerned with accountability. A 3 year term may or may not be a good thing," Faubert stated, adding that three years is one year further removed from accoun- tability. The 3 year term of office has met with mixed reviews from community leaders. Some, like Pat Mason, president of Don - wood Park Community Association, thinks the ex- tended term will add more consistency to Council. According to Mason, politicians will have a chance to settle down and do some work. Mason also stated that "it's too bad if you get a bad apple." "Perhaps it'll make voters think the next time they go out to vote," Mason added. But other association ex- ecutives like Faabert, are worried about accoun- tability. Susan Hunt, of C.D. Far- quharson, calls the new legislation "a backward step democratically" and `.not in the public interest". According to Hunt, the ac- countability of municipal officials is watered down if elections are held every three years. "Municipal government is the closest to people and has the greatest effect on their property, on their ho setwkls and on how they live," Hunt stated. Hunt and other communi- ty leaders expressed disap- pointment that the pro- vince while extending the term of office. is not protec- ting the public by enacting legislation making disclosure of campaign contributions mandatory. Centennial Rouge United by Millie Hull Last week we said good- bye to Rev. Morris - this week it is hello to Rev. John Butler who will be working with us for the next few months or more. Mr. Butler retired last year after 22 years at Nor- thlea United Church in Leaside but has now decid- ed to do some part time work again. He will be with us Sundays and two days a week for weddings, funerals, etc. This week he will be in the manse on Tuesday after- noon to receive calls and meet with any who wish to speak with him. As usual the answering service is in use and messages may be left at 282-2024 at any time. The sermon on Sunday was entitled "A Pocketful of Seeds" which does not apply only to the spring season when our minds are on the planting of seeds. When ill winds sweep over us and we think all is over there is always a pocketful of seeds upon which to draw. These seeds are hope, courage, etc. which are always available and we draw on them many times when all seems to be lost - usually there is that little extra strength we find to carry on. These are the seeds that are always available - use them well. Session members are ask- ed to meet following ser- vice on Sunday morning, May 16th. Our Survey Committee is out this week making ten- tative calls hoping to find a few United Church people in the many new homes now being occupied in the Ridgewood area of West Rouge. Please accept our calls graciously and give a few minutes of your time. Coming up we have the U.C.W. pot luck on Tues. May 11. Do plan to come; bring the family and suffi- cient food ( main course, salad or dessert) for eight to ten people and enjoy a fun evening as the season winds down towards sum- mer. On Sun. May 30, we celebrate our 91st anniver- sary with Rev. John K. Braham as guest minister. Come back to worship with us and prepare for yet another luncheon together. Happy Mother's Day - come worship with us on our Christian Family Sun- day.

May 5, 1982 Report f from Queen's Park By George Ashe, MPP Durham West RADIOACTIVE SOIL - UPDATE A rather controversial topic over the past few months in Durham West concerns the proposed transfer of radioac- tive soil from the McClure Crescent area in Scarborough to the Beare Landfill site. In a previous report, I mentioned that I would continue to represent the interests of Durham West residents in this matter and keep you informed of current developments. I have met with or spoken with representatives of the "East Rouge Residents Against the Local Dumping of Radioactive Waste" on several occasions and I have in- dicated my support of this association. As Durham West's representative in the Ontario Legislature, I share with my constituents a concern for the removal of this contaminated soil to a temporary disposal location at the Beare Landfill site. I have also discussed this matter with my colleague, the Minister of the Environment, who has indicated that the weight of medical opinion is very clear and the soil does not pose a threat to the health of the occupants of homes in the McClure Crescent area. There is, however, a concern that by leaving the soil in its present location, in close proximity to the houses, there is a potential for slightly elevated radia- tion doses to the inhabitants. The Minister has also indicated that the permanent disposal of the contaminated soil at the Beare Landfill site is not permissible under current regulations ( even if the material were placed in a metal -lined concrete storage unit). In order to deal with the anxieties of the McClure Crescent residents, it would be necessary for the soil to be removed. This brings us to the major issue - the location of a disposal site for radioactive waste. I cannot support the proposed transfer of the soil from the McClure Crescent area to the Beare Landfill site for several reasons: 1) I am concerned about the uncertainty of the term "tem- porary" as it relates to the Beare landfill site. 2) I view the "temporary disposal site-' as a stopgap measure which will avoid dealing with the true issue - the location of a permanent disposal site for low level radioac- tive waste: 3) The responsibility for locating a permanent disposal site for radioactive waste is clearly the responsibility of the Federal Government: 4) 7 e expense which would be incurred to move the soil to the "temporary" site is, in my view, a waste of money. It has recently come to my attention that Energy, Mines and Resources, Canada has established a committee with the mandate to locate a permanent disposal site for hazar- dous waste products and I will continue to impress upon the Federal Government the need for such a site. Nevertheless, the situation regarding the radioactive soil on McClure Crescent is still facing us and a solution must be found. Selection of the Beare Landfill site has been opposed by several local agencies which include: the Council of the Town of Pickering: the East Rouge Residents against the Local Dumping of Radiocactive Waste and the Save the Rouge Valley System among others. Clearly, the issue of a storage site for radioactive material from the McClure Crescent has not been resolved, but be assured that I shall continue to convey the views held by my constituents in Durham West to my colleagues in the Pro- vincial Government.
