Jan. 11, 1991 Opinion a page for expression for you and us We're For Betty Not many Ontario citizens are paying much attention to the work of one of their best provincial cabinet ministers but we find her style and concept of education to be tops! We refer to Bette Stephetnsoin. the Minister of Education, who also handles higher education as well. Although she tends to be very tough. Bette has been spending a great deal of time reversing the poor concepts which her boss, Premier William Davis, inflicted on our educational system away back when he was education minister. Thousands of youngsters have come out of Ontario schools without a de- cent background in the English language because the Davis plan was to loosen up the rigid system. He also promised every student "the right" to attend university. Now our realistic and sensible Dr. Bette Stephenson is in- dicating that we cannot afford to send each and every stu- dent to university. Not only are most not qualified nor talented in this direction, but our society needs more than degrees to cam out the tasks of the workplace. Education Minister Stephenson is busy trying to correct the past and institute new ideas to bring our system of education up to the present. It is not an easy task and there are a variety of ideas being expounded on "how to do it". But most observers feel that Bette is on the right track and we say "bang in there, Mrs. Minister Volksmarch System Dear Sir: I have written the following article which I hope will be suitable for publication in your "Opinion" column The German Volksmarch system could work in Canada by Frank J. A- MacKay In a region as rich in natural beauty and points of historical interest as Scarborough is, it is never the less a sad fact that most of our citizens never actually walk around our city to take it all in. On most weekends we "Scarbertans" simply sit in front of the 'I'V recuperating from the rigors of a hard week's work. Their morale ob- viously suffers. not to mention their physical fitness, and the breathtaking sights of our fair city go largely un- noticed. The people of West Germany have experienced the same trends in recent years. but their solution to the dilemma was simple and ingenious - the Volksmarch Program. This is a state run organization which is something of a cross between walking tours and cross country racing. Under the German system, each township and city in the nation is responsible for setting up a trail leading through their countryside, one trail consisting of a 12 mile course and another consisting of 20 miles. Documents are issued to all participants and must be stamped at booths set up along the way. Refreshments are available at roadside stands. and the groups of sightseers wind their way slowly through the breathtaking German countryside, through farmer's fields. and salol] towns. up and down mountains and even through castles. At the ed of the trail, documents are turn- ed in and a bronze or silver medal with the date and lora tion are issued to all who complete the cease. It's a splendid way to see the country, and contributes greatly to one's health and outlook. While serving with Canada's NATO contingent at Lahr, Germany, my friends and I often joined volksmarches and ran the entire distance just to keep fit and see the sights. ..Wandering" is an extreme1v popular hobby in Germany, and marry citiztxs have collections of hundreds of medals, and indeed, many people travel right across the country to attend a particular volksmarch. The program has been in- credibly successful in Germany. and has caught on in various other European nations such as Austria, Italy and Luxemburg. Even here in Canada, the Montreal Marathon has been patterned after the German system, and the medals are highly prized. Inview of all this, there should be no reason why this idea could not be implemented right here in Scarborough. There is no shortage of volunteers in our city and the medals could be designed and manufactured locally and very economically. The benefits, as demonstrated in Germany and elsewhere, are great and would enhance the physical fitness and civic pride of our citizens immensely. Frank J A. MacKay 3817 Lawrence E.

Canada Post, for example, could announce there would be no more postal rate in- creases for at least three years. In tandem with that good news, the postal unions might agree to accept wage curs from their $25,0(10 per year salaries, with union leader Jean Claude Parrot preaching that strikes by public sector unions are irresponsible. Then there are the politi- cians. In addition to following the postie lead on pay cuts, they might also resolve not to fight with each other. Instead, Parliament would become a kind of love -in. Friendly dis- cussion would take the place of heated debate. There would be no personal slurs, no cat- calls and the Speaker could use the restful interlude to catch up on her reading. Creating positive new policies and updating elder legislation would become sim- ple. Unemployment Insur- ance, for instance, could be tightened to save taxpayers 52 -billion per year. What's more, all govern- ments could resolve to provide greater support for the small and medium-sized enterprises that are even now creating most of the country's new jobs. Payroll taxes for small companies would be reduced, and the maze of red tape and paperburden would be elimi- nated. Tax forms would be- come so simple that even the least mathematically inclined would be able to complete the return. Ottawa, of course, would become honest and forthright with the public, shunning such propaganda endeavours as the recent Throne Speech filled with so many promises the government simply won't he able to keep them. Consumers, too, could re- solve to change their ways. In- deed, the Consumers Associ- ation of Canada could team up with farm organizations to lobby for higher food prices, assuming farmers received the benefits. In some cases, farmers might actually earn enough to start paying back their bank loans. Is all of this really wishful thinking? Of course it is. Nevertheless, the recent im- provement in the economy is no dream, and while 1984 may not be spectacular, it should at least be better than last year, a point that is certainly worth noting. cF/R Featwe Se c.0 -u rune charming young women were finalists to the lxg_s of Canada 1984 pageant at the International Cen- -� .ast week Of course, the pageant was held in conjunc- tion with the International World of Motorcycles, which at- tracted tremendous crowds.

The loud noise of the firecrackers sounded more like the roof caving in. But, to the politicians credit, the disruption was short-lived as they. uundaumted, continued on with their debate while the press went out to investigate.

On Monday, Scarborough council members decided that with Scarborough on an economic roll now is the time to create four new staff positions in the Economic Development Department. The four new positions which include a Director of Economic Research, will increase the economic development staff to seven. The cost in salaries and benefits will amount to $155,000. But those politicians who supported the creation of the new positions feel they will be getting a great deal back if those hired succeed in attracting new industry to settle in Scarborough. They also feel this is the on- ly way Scarborough can keep up with Mississauga, Markham and Pickering in attracting new industrial and commercial develop- ment thereby increasing its assessment base. However, the decision to hire four new staff members which also in- clude a Senior Business Development officer, a Business Development con- sultant and a Development Analyst was not without op - Kaleidoscope Of Crafts Kaleidoscope of crafts of- fers an assortment of crafts in a host of varied media to fascinate and delight the crafts -oriented child.

Centennial Rouge United by Millie Hull We were very happy to welcome new members in- to our church fellowship this week end. Henry and Corrine Penner have been worshipping with us for almost a year; Reg and Chris Haney were married in the church just before Christmas and decided to stay with us; Bill and Annie Tonkin and Reta Hanson have decided to come our way instead of going east to Dunbarton; and Harry and Ivy Hewlett now living in Oshawa came to us from Northlea. Quite a nice addi- tion to our church family. The sermon topic "Beyond the Old Frontier" reminded us that we own much to our heritage but at the same time we must not live in the past. For a Christian there is only the future and we must work for it with all our hearts. We are off to a hectic start with stewards, session and official board all meeting next week in preparation for the congregational meeting Jan. 29th. We hope all reports are ready for presentation and typing so the typing can be done in good time. We are sorry to report Mrs. Snider has been ill with pneumonia and wish her a speedy recovery. On the other hand Bill Demp- sey now has the cast removed from his leg and while suffering a lot of pain it is hoped the bone will now heal more rapidly and he will be completely mobile again soon. Keep in mind if you do not have a church you attend regularly a very warm and friendly place awaits you at Centennial Rouge where Kingston Road passes under the 401.

Alderman Edith Mon- tgomery agreed that the re- quest for new staff should be handled in the same manner as requests from other departments - during budget deliberations. Another alderman, Scott Cavalier, wanted the posi- tions to be two year con- tract positions so the posi- tions could be terminated if council was not happy with their performance. Cavalier referred to this as a "fail-safe mechanism". But the majority of coun- cil felt the four positions are essential if the new Nork's Wedding Jan. 11th What to send to a Snowball on its wedding day seemed to be the ques- tion the staff at the Citv of North York's Public infor- mation Office heard more and more as the wedding day for Nork. the city's winter carnival mascot, approached. Anna Di Ruscio, Director of Information Services for the city is encouraging callers to extend "best wishes for a long and happy life together" and advises those intent on bringing a gift to the wedding "to choose the same practical household items one would buy for any other young couple just starting out in marriage" . To make the task easier, the city has registered Miss Valentine, the bride -elect, with Simpsan's downtown Bridal Services Registry. to ensure tht every gift is ..jam Wit.. Gift suggestions range from the traditional blerider, teflon pots and pans and tea towels to his and her hockey sticks, says Di Ruscio, all of which will be donated to Bloorview Children's Hospital. North York staff and politicians alike have pitch- ed in and donated their time to ensure that the January 11th event will be a day to remember. While Mayor Lastman, who has agreed to give the bride away. practises his walk down the aisle, Con- troller Esther Shiner is busy rehearsing a selection of music for the service. Controller Bob Yuill has taken on the tough task of rewriting the wedding vows to suit two snowballs. Peter Puck, star of Hockey Night in Canada and long-time friend of the groom will be serving as Best Man, while the bride has asked Bonita Selig, the reigning Miss North York, to serve as her maid of honour and farmer Miss North Yorks Vikki Ibbotson and Lorraine Franko, to be bridesmaids. Stacey Sabounn, a grade one stu- dent at Churchill Public School, will be Miss Valen- tine's flower girl.

Members of the public :are invited to attend the ceremony and reception, which will take place on Jan. 11 at 12 noon on the ground floor of North York City Hall, 5100 Yonge St. Development Uommis- sioner, John Morand, is to do his job properly. "We hired the man (Morand) to do a job not half a job so we can't give him half a staff," Alderman Florence Cruickshank argued. John Morand told council the four positions will help him achieve his threefold objective for Scarborough: to keep existing companies in Scarborough; to attract new industry to locate in this city; and to create new jobs so people can get back to work. • COUPON • COUPON • COUPON cvurvN • (,UUrVN _, THERMO WINDOWS On all orders of ssoo of noee OF CANADA $50 OFF Icon be used loorard dew porn -911) (",all �-;6 Etpires Fob l/8.1 — — — — — — — • COUPON • COUPON • COUPON -------- WEIGHT WATCHERS PUTS THE "QUICK" INTO SAFE WEIGHTLOSS WITH OUR NEW QUICK START • L 1 i � 1 1 Time to tip the scaiCs :n �or..� ,ght Watcher. over 20 years the leader in safe. sCnsible weight loss. now helps you lose quicker than ever.

Last week Mr. G. Swan- son, General Manager of Operations and Maintenance for CP told a special committee study- ing the marshalling yards noise problem that CP would not help fund any study. CP's only role, Swanson stated, was to maintain whatever facilities are Military Trail Sidewalk Still Up In Air by (nay Abbate Scarborough politicians and trustees have reached an impasse over the con- struction of sidewalks on Military Trail. At a recent meeting of the school board's Planning Committee, trustees refus- ed to meet conditions set forth by Scarborough Coun- cil before it will construct sidewalks on Military Trail between Highcastle Rd. and Ellesmere. The board requested sidewalks early last year when it changed the atten- dance area for students in the H*hcastle area from West Hill C.I. to Woburn C.I. on Ellesmere. While they agree with trustees that this road is unsafe, city fathers are not sure that the addition of sidewalks would improve conditions for ins. They have asked trustees to state that the roadway would be safe for students if sidewalks were installed. Trustees have refused to provide this assurance. Trustees have also refus- ed to share the 533,000 cosi of constructing the sidewalks on a 5450 basis. Council meters feel the trustees should pay part of the cost since they not only are the ones requesting the sidewalks but also the ores who created the problem by cringing the school at- tendance area. Trustees. on the other hand, argue that they are not in the business of con- structing public sidewalks They fear they would be setting a dangerous prece- dent by funding a project which is not on Board of Education property. However, trustees recently did agree to share with the city the cost of lighting a public walkway leading from Dundalk Dr. to the Glamorgan P.S. Ward Alderman Shirely Eidt, says there has been no "hue and cry„ from the community for the city to construct the sidewaiks. On a recent morning stakeout of the area, Alder- man Eidt observed only one student walking along the roadway and three others on bikes. Board of Education of- ficials say these small numbers are because parents are not allowing their kids to use Military Trail. If the sidewalks were there, more students would be Lasing them, these of- ficials argue. The sidewalks are also necessary for the estimated 8o students who will be entering Woburn Conlin's Rd. Still Residents of Conlin Rd. in the Ellesmere; Military Trail area have been trying to get sewers since 19M and it looks like they will have to wait several more years before they ever see their sewers. The Scarborahgh Works and Transportation Com- mittee recently refused to consider a motion by Car troper Ken Morrish to move the sewers up one year into the 1986 budget. When residents petitioned in 19M for the sewers. Scar- borough Council approved their installation for 1977. However. they were not in- stalled and, in fact, got put Off LOW 1980. Each year, they have been put off and last year they were moved farther back into the 1987 budget. While residents await their sewers, the price of installing them has from this area over the next five years, the board maintains. But Mrs. Eidt doubts whether sidewalks would be Used even if they were constructed. "Kids don't use sidewalks anyway" she says. The problem as Alderman Eidt sees it is one of safety. Even with sidewalks, this road would be unsafe, she maintains. "I wouldn't let my kids use it," Shirley Eidt remarked. The ball is now in Scar- borough council's corner. While the sidewalks might be considered in the 1984 budget, the chance of the Board of Education getting its sidewalks without shar- ing part of the cast are zilch at best", says Alder- man Eidt. Waiting skyrocketed. In 1971, the estimated cost was $462,000: by 1964 the cost has risen to $1.3 million. Part of the increased cost is due to water problems the city will face once ac- tual construction is under- way.

However, he has agreed to talk over the matter of funding with his superiors at CP. An engineering study is the initial step in finally resolving the noise pro- blem according to Paul Cosgrove, M.P. for York Scarborough who was in- strumental in setting up this special committee comprised of himself and representatives from CP, the Ministry of the En- vironment and residential communities adjacent to the Yards. The committee is chaired by Alderman Marilyn Iblushinski, chairman of the city's legislation commit- tee. Cosgrove proposed the special study at the com- mittee's first meeting last week. his recommendation was the CP and the federal government jointl y fund the study, expected to cast about $30,000. Cosgrove, himself, will meet with the federal department of Supply and Services and the Railway Transport Commission in an effort to obtain some funds for the study. The consultant's job will be to review all existing studies about noise abate- ment measures especially in relation to marshalling yards and to recommend specific solutions to the high screeching noise pro- duced during the humping operation. Once the first hurdle of ob- taining funds for the study has been overcame, the next major step will be get- ting funding to implement the consultant's recom- mendations. For this, Cosgrove may approach all levels of government since he heads Scarborough. Metro and the province equally responsible for allowing residential development to take place so close to the yards. According to Ivan Arbour, a nearby resident who represents homeowners af- fected by the noise on the special committee. CP has a moral obligation to not only fund the study but to pay for any mitigation measures implemented to reduce the noise. He says CP should do this, not only because of their community spirit, but because they have increas- ed their operations at the yards since homeowners fast started to move into the area. But CP officials' answer to this is that while they are the source of the raise pro- blem, the problem and how to solve it belongs to the residents and to the City of Scarborough. MENOMINEE PROPERTY ASSESSMENT and your 1984 Municipal and School Taxes Regional Offices located throughout Ontario are responsible for assessing all real property for the purposes of municipal and school taxation.

Jan. 11, 19M Bill Watt's Worlds OFF STAGE: Watching legitimate theatre productions is not an unmixed blessing for this reviewer (We refuse to refer to ourself as a critic!) since all are not of equal value. Some are excellent and most are good but a few - a very few - are bad and we are charged with the responsibility of so repor- ting. That's never pleasant. The mixed blessing aspect however, doesn't derive solely from that considera- tion. No indeed. What hap- pens is that at almost every per rfai mance we wish we were back on the boards ourself. That isn't possible of carie. What is, though, is the op- portunity to meet and talk with performers and share their thoughts and feelings about their chosen profes- sion. If we can't be on stage ourself, we can at least share a thespian's life if on- ly vicariously. This is by way of pream- ble to a recounting of an in- terview we had recently with Philip Pieasants who is the leading actor in Amadeus playing at the [royal Alex until Feb. 4th. When we arrived at his relatively modest suite in a downtown hotel he was casually dressed in dark slacks and sweater. (Just because Syhia Train is in Egypt doesn't mean that her style of interview can't be continued - He greeted us personally at the door, invited us to sit and then suggested we ask him anything at all. His role in Amadeus is a difficult one that taxes both physically and emotional- ly. We asked him how he wound down after each per- formance. His answer was disarmingly charming . There are no long solitary walks such as those taken by Jason Robards, no drinking bouts in the man- ner of the late John Bar- rymore. He simply goes back to his roam or suite and sleeps. We tient asked how he psyches himself for each performance. Again the answer was straightfor- ward. He doesn't. He knows his role as well as it is possible to be known and he is well enough ex- perienced in the techniques and craft of performing that psyching oneself isn't necessary. -_ His role in Amadeus is that of a man consumed with envy over the ef- fortless genius of Mozart. We wondered aloud if he empathized with the role: if he or any other actors ever allowed themself the luxury of anger over other actors who perform with an ease that ahnost borders on contempt for the role. We were thinking of and referred to -again -the late John Barrymore. one of our favourite actors and, in our view, the finest Shakespearian actor of modern times.

Obviously WWII vets will appreciate it but we have an idea that relative youngsters will enjoy it as well. For one thing it's in- teresting and refreshing to be beck in the time when jets were still a dream. In- teresting too reading about the pilots of the time. We intend no disrespect to jet pilots and their undoubted skulls but we suggest that the jets are not responsive to the body English and sheer intuitive skill that prop pilots can manifest. To be sure, there are por- tions of the book that one funds heavy going. That's when the technical aspects of the craft are y detailed but they can be skipped without great loss and are can get down to the '.fun" parts. War is a dreadful thing and no tnintung person would suggest otherwise but it remains that it makes for fascinating reading. Fork Tailed Devil is not for women but all men will enjoy it.

The teams will play in either the Scarborough Girls' Representative or the Golden Horseshoe Women's Soccer League. In addition to the teams representing the powerful local girls' organization, S.U. will offer house league soccer for almost 750 girls in 40 teams in nine different age groups. United provides soccer for girls from four and five to over thirty and every age group in between Altogether Scarborough United anticipates a registration of almost 1000 players. While other soccer clubs have a girls' soccer pro- gram Scarborough United is the only Metro and area all girls' activity and the only club to provide both houseleague and com- petitive soccer for all age levels. Of the 15 representative teams all but three have appointed assistant coaches, managers and trainers and indoor train- ing sessions will start very soon. The teams an- ticipated are: Any girls interested in playing for one of these teams should contact the coach on the Scarborough United hotline at 498-0150.

Scarborough's team was selected at tryouts held in November. The meets give the boys a chance to test their skills against some of the top talent in the region. Thursday's meet started off very sour for Scar- borough as Scott Hayes, 0.2k of Thomson C.I. and Ron Burgie, 48.5k of King C.I. lost close decisions to Pardeep Khuran and Rob Dick Buchan The season's West Hill Closed Chess Champion- ship finished last month resulting in a surprise vic- tory for Dick Buchan, who scored 8-1 in the com- petitive round robin tour- nament. Top-ranked Ernie Mucignat and last season's champion Vishram Bhapkar tied for second and third places with 7 1 2-1 1'2 scores. Veteran Ernest Sinko was fourth with 6 1.2-2 1 2. Ernie Mucignat con- gratulated Mr. Buchan on his victory, and implied that Dido was an act to follow. "Dick has been playing exceptionally well lately and as a result of this he has climbed from being a Class C player to being a Class B player. If Dido keeps up this winning streak, chess in West Hill will be an interesting act to follow. Dick is a very per- sonable fellow. He doesn't let victory go to his head. He is a less player that all West Hill can be proud of," REALTOR Jim Cochrane and Sheevaun Nelson are pleased to announce the opening of their real estate of- fice at the corner of Markham Road and Ellesmere.

MPP Durham West WINTER DRIVING - UGH! Last winter was a comparatively mild winter in Southern Ontario, and many of us were able to survive winter driving without ensuring that our vehicle was in top running condi- tion. But this year, the weather has been significantly colder, and winter maintenance techniques should be considered to assist in combatting the effects of winter on fuel consump- tion. These procedures include: 1. Use of a block heater. 2. Cold start idling technique. 3. Use of winter -grade oil. Before we examine the methods by which these pro- cedures can decrease fuel consumption, let us look at three major problems associated with winter driving: f i) Higher viscosity of lubricants in the engine. transmis- sion and axles. 60 Increased heat loss to the coolant and the air. (iii) Prolonged application of the choke. Use of a Block Heater Block heaters warm the engine coolant. and therefore -the engine, enabling the vehicle to start easier and drive Kortright Reveals The Mysteries Catch a snow crystal and see the story it tells about weather, on guided ..Snow Hikes" at the Kortright Centre for Conservation. Saturdays and Sundays in January, at 3 p.m. With the aid of a naturalist, visitors will learn about the mysteries Of snow, its affects on plants and wildlife, as well as how ski waxing works and why some ice is white and some black. Other highlights of the walk include caring and weighing a snow sample to determine how much water it contains and how close it is to melting, discovering why ice floats, and observ- ing how snow crystals change with age. Films an snow and skiing will com- plement the hikes. In addition, the Kortright Centre features "Winter Wildlife Detective Hikes", Saturdays and Sundays, from Jan. I through to Feb. 12, at 11: 30 a.m. and 2 p.m ., and "Cross -Country Ski Hikes", at i p.m., weekends in Janaury and February. Visitors can also browse through the Nature Book and Gift Shop, view black and white nature photographs by the late Ken Strasser and see the spectacular "Designs in Nature Photography" slide show. Open daily from 10 a. m. to 4 ).m., the Kortright Cen- tre is located on Pine Valley Drive, south of Ma- jor :Mackenzie Drive, west of Hwy. 400, near Klein - burg. Admission is adults $2, students and children il, with a $5 family max- imum. For further information, phone 661-6600, extension 231.

In addition, both the engine and component life are extended and exhaust emissions are reduced. Recent studies conducted by the Ministry of Transporta- tion and Communications indicate that one or two hours of block heater use is all that is required, and makes the use of the block heater more cost-effective. In a series of road tests, pre -heated vehicles saved from 4 - 8% of fuel consumed during the tests, and savings generally increased with the size of the engine. What About "Warming Up The Car" Many people believe the longer you let your car idle before driving it, the more efficiently it will operate. In actual fact, even in cold weather, most cars require no more than 3D seconds of idling. The trick is to drive away gently for the first few minutes, which permits the engine to reach nor- mal operating temperature faster than if the car were stan- ding still. )Motor Oil Makes a Difference. Without the proper oil, you cannot win the battle against higher viscosity, the first of the three major cold weather problems. A high quality friction modified oil, such as SAW - 5W -3D, has a low viscosity. The lower the Furst ntrnber (5). the mote freely the oil will flow in the winter. A high quality motor oil will be instrumental in extending engine life and increasing fuel economy. And there you have it - a well-planned attack force to com- bat the effects of winter an fuel consumption. Use these guudelines wisely, and the cold weather -causing problems will be defeated. And once your car is going, rernembier all those driving techniques for safe winter driving. Remember - the insurance premiums. and more important- ly. the life. you save could be your own.
