Rougecrest Gives Complaining Residents A Deadline Five delegations ad- dressed Pickering Council on Aug. 4th with respect to unfinished works in the subdivision at Brock Rd. and Finch Ave. developed by Rougecrest Developers. The delegates described their own personal pro- blems and also presented council with over 100 let- ters from other homeowners in the subdivi- sion listing their individual complaints. The problems dealt with grading, sodding, driveways, sidewalks and retaining walls which were either not completed or im- properly installed causing flooding in basements and garages every time it rain- ed.

' ickson's 1 The Issues As Ashe Sees Them There are always many local issues of importance, particularly in fast grow- ing communities like Ajax and Pickering. To name a few, sewers, water, roads, sidewalks, grading, sod- ding, fire protection, mail service, landfill sites, education and school facilities. PC candidate George Ashe says, "There are two others of great importance that the current provincial government has given lip service but not committ- ment. These are hospital services and highways; Specifically Ajax - Pickering Hospital and Highway 401. Both are becoming, some would say have become, terribly in- adequate." Mr. Ashe says the previous P.C. government authorized the start of the long process leading to the local hospital's expansion approximately three years ago. That process has been complete for some time and the project has '.Top Priority" designation of the Durham Region Health Council. "During the last legislative session I. on practically a daily basis, badgered the Minister of Health regarding the over- due approval," Ashe points out. "I suspect that during this election campaign that we might get an official an- nouncement; not a speculative one by the Liberal candiate. It is regrettable that it takes a provincial election cam- paign rather than the con- cern for the medical needs of my constituents to give this badly needed, long overdue, approval," said George Ashe. He added: "The 401 need- ed expansion has become a sick joke. For those of you, as I do, who use the 401 regularly know the expan- sion was needed yesterday. In a recent bit of cruelty earlier this year, the Minister of Transportation announced with great fan- fare that the through - collector expansion from Neilson Road in Scar- borough to Brock Road in Pickering would com- mence in 1989. Seven to ten years later we could cut the ribbon at Brock Road. WOW, just before the turn of the century. Mr. Ashe said that a realistic schedule, both fiscally and practical, would be a five year time frame to Westney Road in Ajax.

Aare was first used by the maritime insurance group, Lloyd's of Landon, to denote the highest class of ship. Nowadays, Lloyd's of London will insure just about anything but they began as a group of businessmen who issued marine policies to shop owners and operated from a London coffeehouse owned by Edward Lloyd. Not strictly an insurance company, Lloyd's is a corporate group of syndicates composed of individual underwriters each of whom must personally deposit large sums against default on the insurance risks he accepts. High sums of money may easily be made or lost on each insurance ven- ture an underwriter tries. Q. What is the rate of the earth's precession? B. J. A. The earth preceses once every 26,000 years. Precession means the change in the tilt of the axis of the earth (or other rotating body such as a top) . In 13,000 years, the northern hemisphere will be tilted in the opposite direction and we will have summer in December, January and Febm ary and winter in June, July and August; 13,000 years later the seasons will again be back to "normal".

Aug. 19, 19x7 Opinion a page for expression for you and us African Humour? by Bob Watson There is a news report that Mississauga South MP Don Blenkarn, a Progressive Conservative, has written a letter suggesting that Canada invade Mozambique and seize con- trol of southern Africa to force an end to apartheid! Well, in the middle of a summer provincial election this would be really humourous if it weren't so ridiculous. External Affairs Minister Joe Clark said he didn't agree with Blenkarn but championed his right to express his opi- nion. That's funny, but Joe Clark didn't allow the South African Tourist Board to advertise in Canadian newspapers and sent them back home. Perhaps there is a freedom of speech for some .. but not for others! Why we think it is humourous to despatch our Canadian troops to Africa is that we don't have enough to invade Nor- way - in fact, our armed forces are among the lowest numbers in the world. However, what is tragic about MP Blenkarn's suggestion is that he is similar to Joe Clark and our Prime Minister Brian Mulroney - none of them know anything about Africa and we wish they would keep their noses out of Africa. Let's look at the facts. Mozambique is a Marxist regime backed by the Soviet union. which does not send food to that country - only guns. It is silly Canadians who send food to the Communists so they can keep strong and fight democracy wherever it exists. Then there is Angola where another Marxist government backed by the Soviet Union with arms and advisors has a lot of Cuban troops who back up attempted invasions into South Africa. We have never heard Joe Clark or the PM complaining to the United Nations about the Cuban troops hanging around Angola doing the dirty work of the Soviet Union. In the Aug. 16th issue of the Toronto Star a painful story of a black South African woman was related by correspondent Frances Kelly which stows that Canadian sanctions - as well as other countries - has killed her chances of having a good life. We would like to suggest to Joe Clark that the next Com- monwealth meeting in Canada for which he is preparing have on the agenda the inroads of the Soviet Union into the African National Congress and all of the countries surroun- ding South Africa. Let's talk about the real enemy of our society - communism. Religious Instruction Dear Editors: I write as the Chief Pastor of the Anglican Church in this Province to suggest what we feel is a logical next step now that increased funding for Separate Schools has been ap- proved by the Supreme Court of Canada. The quality of Public Education and the place of religion in the Public Schools remain very important issues : and we want to do everythuiig we can to deal with them. Therefore, together with our ecumenical partners, we are advocating an interfaith curriculum in religion, taught by properly trained teachers, at every level of the primary and secon- dary schools. And further. we are advocating a pilot project sponsored by the Provincial Government to test the feasibility of our proposal. Conversations with leaders of all political parties in Queen's Park lead us to the belief that our proposal might be adopted. and we are seeking your support in publicizing and promoting public debate about them. In our view, the program we advocate would help all students toward an in- creased understanding and respect for all faiths, and would prevent further fragmentation of the Public Education system. The enclosed pamphlet outlines our proposal fully. Please read it carefully and if you can publicize it by publishing the text and or by editorial comment, we would be grateful. Our proposal has wide ecumenical support, but needs more publicity and public debate.

Metro Toronto At Forefront Metro Toronto continues to maintain its role as the strongest commercial real estate market in Canada. This is the case, with respect to prices being achieved. investor in- terest and the number and size of sales and leasing transac- tions, reports Royal LePage Commercial Real Estate Ser- vices. The impact of strong demand for business accommoda- tion is particularly evident in the office leasing market. A statistical summary of the first half of 1987 provided by Royal LePage's office leasing computerized marketing system underlines that the market indeed has begun to tighten. Wants Cap On Credit Card Charges Reg Stackhouse, M.P. - Scarborough Vit - will launch a parliamentary counter-attack against banks and trust com- panies that raise credit card charges. It was his motion that lead to pressure by the government and the finance com- mittee to reduce rates last spring. The Royal Bank of Canada has announced that rising in- terest rates will lead it to increase its charges on unpaid credit card balances. It is thought that other institutions may follow. "This is commercial obscenity•" Stackhouse says. "after years of maintaining excessive charges, in spite of falling interest rates, they scarcely wait a few months to raise their charges once rates start rising. Don't they have any sense of fairness` He will introduce a Private Members' Bill to impose a floating rate limit on credit card charges. If the Bank of Canada rate rises, the card issuers will be allowed to in- crease their charges by no more than a legislated percen- tage. If rates fall they will have to cut their charges accor- dingly. "Last spring I had hoped the credit card industry would have enough corporate responsibility to govern themselves by natural justice. It is clear that government regulation is needed and I hope all parties will support my Bill. Parlia- ment must show that big as these corporations are, the peo- ple are bigger still." Stackhouse also urges stepped-up federal provincial cooperation to remove the present notice period required before rates can be changed. "In this computerized age, ad- justments can be made faster," he said. His bill will also apply to gasoline companies and department stores. If it passes thev will be obliged to reduce their current charges.

Bob's Notes Gala Rededication of Princes' Gates On Aug. 13th the newly -restored Princes' Gates were of- ficially rededicated in a gala ceremony. The Hon. Lincoln M. Alexander, Lt. Governor of Ontario, delivered the rededication address. Constructed to celebrate 60 years of Confederation. the Gates were originally dedicated by Ed- ward. Prince of Wales and his brother George on Aug. 31, 1927. Since that time, over 100 million people have passed beneath the Goddess of Winged Victory, making the Gates one of Canada's most recognized landmarks. For Unemployed Young People A new Futures option which offers unemployed young people a chance to go back to school for half a day and work for the other half was among three new initiatives to ex- pand Futures has been announced by Gregory Sorbara, Minister of Skills Development who says the new part-time work part-time school option offers "a second chance to employed young people who want to go back to school. ..A core of employment -disadvantaged youths exists, despite the economic upswing and the increasing number of job opportunities in the province. Lack of formal and basic education plays a large role in their problems. It affects their job stability and advancement. Nearly 45 percent of the young people between 15 and 24 in today's full-time workforce do not have a high school diploma,.. he said. Qualified unemployed youths who choose the part-time work part-time school option will receive $100 a week while attending school, as well as the minimum wage for part- time hours worked. Participants must work 16 to 20 hours a week. and attend school to earn at least three high school credits. Support & Custody Program The commencement of Ontario's Support and Custody Enforcement program was announced on July 2nd by At- torney General Ian Scott. The program provides for automatic, computerized enforcement of support orders in default and provides assistance to parents seeking to en- force custody rights. "The program was established pur- suant to the Support and Custody Orders Enforcement Act (1965) and responds to the growing concern about lack of compliance with court orders relating to support and custody", Mr. Scott said. As many as 85 percent of Ontario's 61,000 support orders filed in family court are presently in default. In the majori- ty of such cases, the support order involves children. "The new program will relieve individuals of the emotional burden and financial cost of having to start legal enforce- ment proceedings themselves. It is hoped that this will con- tribute to a significant decline in present default rates and a decrease in the number of single women relying on social assistance to feed and clothe their children because they are not receiving support payments," the Attorney General said. i Give A Gift That Lasts All Year!

Aug. 19, 1997 .. Around and About Your Dining & Entertainment Guide Bill Watt's Worlds ONSTAGE I: 42nd Street at The O'Keefe is a Champion of a show! The capital C is in- tentional and our tribute to the late Gower Champion. the original Direc- tor Choreographer. (In the current production Jon Engstrom is true to the direction of Mr. Champion in his adaptation and stag- ing.) Many, we are sure, pro- claim a Busby Berkeley in- fluence but they are incor- rect even though well in- tended. This show is pure Champion. Buzz Berkeley was a journeyman hoofer who recognized the potential of the motion picture camera to expand the perimeters of dance sequences and did so in such motion pictures as The Gold Diggers. The Gang's All Here (Carmen Miranda as The lady in the Tutti Fruitte Hat! ) and, of course. 42nd Street. His choreographic skills, much less his talent, were, however, inferior to those of Gower Champion. 42nd Street - the stage musical, not the "original" motion picture will, we sug- gest, be the musical for which Mr. Champion will be best and most fondly remembered. His choreography is hap- py and fluid - a real ac- complishment within the relative confines of tap - but it is also and, as always. disciplined. The exuberance of the dancers is, we believe. the result of a happiness in mastering the intricacies of the dance and making them their ser- vant. the better to entertain enthusiastic au- diences. The dancers and the singers all well serve the music of Ham Warren and the lyrics of A] Dubin. Baldly stated. Warren and Dubin were never the Gershwins but their music was bright and gay and. as used to be the case with all top composers, melodic. You're Getting To Be A Habit With Me, We're In The Money. Lullaby Of Broadw•ay. About A Quarter To Nine, Shuffle Off To Buffalo, Shadow waltz• even gently burlesqued and the ti- tle tune all stand up well and leave tuneful memories. ! One of our unscientific tests of a show's impact is to listen to the audience after; if the tunes are being hummed, that means they're good and that the audience enjoyed the show. We heard much humming and saw even a little dancing after the cur - -_ UNITY CHURCH -_= OF SCARBOROUGH A NEW AGE CHURCH Diane Matthew. Minister 294-3111 1050 Hungtingwood Drive (Sir William Osler Collegiate) tain came down on opening night!) David Brummel plays Julian Marsh the sometimes saturnine pro- ducer of the show within a show and plays it well with no excess. He is also an ex- cellent singer - he does Lullaby Of Broadway - and swings a dashed efficient foot in some of the dance numbers. If you should be wondering who he looks like, it's Victor Jorv. Gina Trano is Peggy Sawyer the little girl who takes over from the star and she is essence of cuteness but there is a hard edge of determination to her that shows in both her singing and dancing. In the latter, she is blithe but never at the expense of discipline. Strong direction or strong self instinct we don't know and don't much care; we know only that she could hardly be im- proved upon. Doug Okerson is her boy friend, more or less, and he. too, is an excellent dancer with just about one of the best time extensions we've seen for many a pro- duction. Judith Thiergaard should be singed out for especial praise as well. She is Dorothy Brock, the bitchy Mad replaced by the in- genue. She could have gone broad in the role but she does not. She plays with restraint. More than that, though, she has a thrilling voice which oddly enough, is heard to its best advan- tage in the little trifle About A Quarter To Nine. There are so many per- formers to praise and so many things about this show that our personal discipline cannot manage in the space allotted. We can only conclude rather lamely that 42nd Street continues until the end of the week and that you should make every ef- fort to see it. This will be the final no- p duction of The O'Keefe Summer Series and we con- gratulate all for another fine summer of fust class and first rate entertain- ment.

ON RECORD: WEA Music of Canada has just announced that the Green Linnet Label is now available in Canada. As our British friends will recall, Green Linnet specializes in traditional and some contemporary Irish and Scottish music performed by Irish and Scottish artists. One label in particular has caught our eye. That is Peter Bellamy; The Bar- rack Room Ballads of Rudyard Kipling. "I've taken my fun where I found it. An' now I must pay for my fun." Memories anyone? HIGH C'S: Speaking of memories . . we recall many years ago fudging our age to get into the Palais Royale to see and hear "Canada's Youngest Bandleader" Maynard Ferguson who was perhaps a year or so older than we. His or- chestra was pretty bad but he was an exciting musi- cian. When he went for a high C on his trumpet he looked in danger of hurting himself! includes the "Pastoral" p.m. and reservations can and music by Mozart, be made by calling Roy Berlioz and Francois Thomson Hall box office, Morel. 593-4828 or the N.Y.O., The concert starts at 7:30 532.4479• Manv streams to the Toronto region years of damage and neglect thinks to Lando%. nt, - .k no have taken advantage of the Stream Improvement Pro- gram of the Metro Toronto and Region Conservation Authority.

Landow•rrer•s who have taken advantage of the MTRCA's stream improvement program have reaped substantial benefits.

You can catch up with him a week tomorrow when he will appear at The Spec- trum with his new seven piece electronic fusion band, High Voltage. Look for many of Toronto's jazz musicians to be there. Who knows? perhaps you'll be witness to some impromp- tu jam sessions. HELD OVER: Beehive, the Imperial Room's summer show has been held over until Sept. 26th. We understand that much of the audience is of a repeat nature. It's that kind of a show; people want to see it more than once. If you haven't yet seen it, make a point of doing so. Don't however, count on the extension of the engagement as a reason to delay. Ticket sales con- tinue to be brisk and it's our thought that they will be right up till the closing date. So if you want the flavour of the female vocalists of the sixties in a high powered show, make your reservations as soon as possible.

'That's what the residents of this nor- thwestern Ontario town are saying this year as Ontario's largest moose turns 25. ..Moose are big business here, and Max symbolizes why a lot of people come to Dryden,.. said Diane Red- den of Dryden's chamber of commerce. Maximilhan Moose is a steel and concrete giant, twice the size of your average moose. He's are of several mammoth creatures lurking by road- sides across Northern On- tario. Every year, Max- imillian and his friends Husky the Muskie and the Wawa Goose pose for countless camera -toting tourists and offer inspira- tion to thousands of game hunters and fishermen. TRY.. .

But since 1964. the national title has belonged to a 9 -metre -high upstart in Moose Jaw, Sask. "He may no longer be the largest," said Redden, But Max is still the pret- tiest-" About 120 kms west of Dryden, a 12 -metre muskellunge leaps out from the Lake of the Woods, on the outskirst of Kenora. As veteran fishermen know, northwestern On- tario is famed for its muskies. But none is as large as the steel and plywood Husky. Ontario's answer to Jaws tips the scales at 2,250 kilograms. Spawned by the centen- nial fever of 1967, Kenora's 20 -year-old mascot has weathered well, thanks in no small measure to the 300 kilograms of resin and 3,500 bolts holding fins and scales together. People in Kenora claim that Husky the Muskie is the largest fish in Canada. He could have been the world's largest too, were it not for his American cousin, a 65 -metre walk- through muskie in Hayward, Wisconsin. Though just a small fry next to the American com- petition, Husky stands tall in Kenora, offering ample inspiration to the many fishermen who cast their lines in the Lake of the Woods. But the elder statesman of Northern Ontario's road- side giants is the Wawa Goose. Since 1960, this 2 -ton bird has perched outside the Lake Superior town of Wawa. The Wawa area is a traditional resting place for migrating Canada geese. In fad, the town's name canes from an Ojib- wa word meaning wild gam• The Wawa Goose we see today is actually the second version. The original plaster goose was badly battered by the elements and eventually painted black by vandals. In 1963, a new goose replaced it, this one made of steel plates. At 9 metres tall, the black and white giant stands with wings outstet- ched, poised for take -off. Wed. Aug. 19, 1987 THE NEWS!

Dear John, John Deere-1n%wer% liver Lawn an i (:amen 1�'iles Dear John: We've had some awful storms here lately with gusting wind and rain. Will strong winds affect the produce in my vegetable garden" Dear Dorothy Gale: Sometimes a hot, dry wind can cause bean blossoms to drop off or fail to form pods. You can try to protect your vegetables from the elements by covering them %lien you expect heavy weather, but only Mother Nature knows if they will survive. If weather problems have caused certain vegetables in your garden to become weak and sickly. your best bet is to pull up the plants and saw new seeds. And if weather is a constant problem where You live, you may want to call a truce with Mother Nature by replanting parts of your garden with hardier vegetables, like peas• Potatoes and carrots. Dear John: 1 don't want to drown my flowers or let them suffer from thirst. When and bow should i water them" Dear Mrs. Kind -Heart: Plants vary in amounts of water they need. Bulbs and perennials are usually able to withstand dry periods because of their deep, water -retentive root systems. But don't ignore their cries for help - wilting leaves are a sign they need a drink. Annuals need a more constant supply of water than other plants because they have shallow roots and grow and flower all season long. Quench their thirst by watering them each week with about 1 inch 125mm) of water. The best way to water your lawn is also best for you gam - deep but in- frequent watering. Light. frequent sprinklings don't penetrate soil deep enough. This may prevent the plants from developing a deep root system. which makes them even more sensitive to drought. Dear Jahn: 1 lead a sim- ple life and don't like to spend much time worrying about things like weeds-. Can 1 use one herbicide to kill them all:' Dear Hopeful Herb: One herbicide won't kill every type of weed. Preemergence herbicides work on narrowleaf weeds like crabgrass, killing the seeds as they germinate. Postemergence herbicides control broadleaf weeds. like dandelions• by cir- culating through the weed to kill it root and all. Accessories by Catherine Jablonski Accessories are the catalysts that bring the total look of a room together and personalize your living space. Once, the way in which home furnishings' ac- cessories were chosen was much more restrictive. Periods or styles were never mixed. If the room was one in traditional, or contemporary, or country fur- niture• then every lamp, vase, clock, painting or floral arrangement echoed the same theme. Now, the trend is to individual expression evidenced in subtle to daring mixes of furniture and accessories. Today, accessories draw on a variety of different looks, periods and styles. For example, Oriental and Egyptian influences add elegance to both the most modern and traditional themes. It is not uncommon to find 18th -century looks counter- pointed with bright, modern -looking fabrics and col- ors, while leading-edge European art objects pro- vide a note of surprise atop traditional wood fur- niture. It is time for as -you -like -it combinations. The mass-produced mixes with the unique. :Ind at times, the art of illusion works its magic with exciting and economical results. This is the era of faux marble and granite finishes - a bit of stylish fakery found in tabletops, urns, col- umns, and an array of decorative elements. Greek and Roman ac- cessories - fakes and the real thing are also popular. If authenticity is too cost- ly, faux reproductions of fibreglass and reinforced polyresin may be more af- fordable.

With regular exercise, most people have more energy, vitality, endurance and feel better about themselves in general. Ex- ercise is fun, ideal for a busy person's schedule, and best of all costs nothing. The U.S. Centre for Disease Control announced recently that physical inac- tivity raises the risk of heart disease 1.9 times greater than those who have a high level of physical activity. The estimated risk factor because of high blood pressure is 36%. high serum cholesterol 25%, smoking 30% and physical inactivity a whopping .59%. A unique exercise plan that is part of the Weight Watchers Quick Start Plus program is designed for in- dividuals whether they ex- ercise daily or have never exercised. The program helps firm and tone the body while shedding pounds The Weight Watchers plan is a sensible, healthy one. It offers a choice of five popular and simple -to- do activities: walking. walking -jogging, sta- tionary bicycling, outdoor bicycling and swimming - all great activities for the summer months. Initiation to the Exercise Program is simple. Members are asked to visit their family doctor, using a simple provided checklist their physician completes. It helps you determine your own start-up level based on age and present activity level. Each activity is sub- categorized to identify various levels of exertion depending on a member's age and state of health. After this simple in- troduction, Weight Wat- chers members undertake selected activities of their individual program on a voluntary basis three to five times a week thereby maximizing calories burn- ed and getting trim. All exercise programs are preceded by pre -start stretching and warm-up routines followed by a cool - down session. Says Marie Ludwick, President of Weight Watchers Central and Eastern Canada. "It is a medically endorsed sen- sible program and includes heart -rate checks throughout all exercise ses- sions " Since the unique pro- gram was launched last January, Ms. Ludwick says that participating members have developed healthier cardiovascular systems, built new energy reserves and have even reported sunnier disposi- tions. This flexible and fun ex- ercise program, combined with the Weight Watchers Food Plan, Self -Discovery Plan and Behaviour Modification results in a perfect weight -loss package!

Durham West Thousands of students in Pickering, Ajax s o n ate and across Durham face years of being hous- ed in portable classrooms because of words OMAN, but no action by Premier Peterson and his government. The Premier's announcement last week. that $297 million was being allocated to reduce the pupil teacher ratio in grades one and two by hiring 4,000 additional teachers as well as buying 40,000 computers did nothing to address the fundamental problem facing school boards. In the Durham region this September schools will open with 430 portables and no in- dication that Mr. Peterson is prepared to do anything to alleviate that problem.

Ontario Riding Following the topic of my last column, you are no doubt aware that the House of Commons was recalled this week in order to deal with and prevent further abuse of our refugee determination system in Canada. Many of those who have claimed refugee status are economic migrants, not genuine refugees who are in need of Canada's protection. In 1986, some 70% of these claimants were not found to be genuine refugees. The Minister of Employment and Immigration, Hon. Benoit Bouchard introduced a new bill which would allow the government to take immediate steps to deter the grow- ing abuse of our refugee policies. This Bill, C-84, the Deter- rents and Detention Bill was tabled in the House this week and is designed to stop abuse of the refugee determination system through the following measures: • substantially increased penalties for smugglers and their accomplices, including the imposition of 10 -year jail sentences and fines of $500,000; • impose heavier fines and penalties on transportation com- panies that bring undocumented people to Canada ($5,000 for each undocumented passenger); • detain people who arrive without proper documentation until their identities can be established; • remove people who pose a criminal or security threat. They will be detained until they can be removed from Canada. By deterring abuse, it will give those who are genuine refugees in need of our protection more of an opportunity to come to Canada as currently, people who are claiming refugee status are abusing the system at the cost of legitimate immigrants. We are currently debating this bill and have sought the co-operation of both opposition parties, but it is frustrating to me that they are stalling this bill. Our position is clear: the government will not allow unscrupulous people to violate our laws. ............. ........_........ same in all growth areas across the province. I agree that the pupil teacher ratio could be reduced, but how do you do that without first building adequate facilities? If Mr. Peterson is truly committed to the high standard of elementary education that he professes then he should be addressing the space problem first. In the 1965 election campaign, Mr. Peterson promised that if elected he would increase the provincial share of spending for education to 60%. In fact it has decreased to 45% since 1965, from 48.3% in the last Conservative budget. Essentially, Mr. Peterson is playing politics with the peo- ple of Ajax and Pickering. He didn't live up to his last cam- paign promise so how can he be trusted to honour this one. The people of our community will see through this charade. The NDP also have questioned the government's educa- tion priorities and have identified some of the same con- cerns. If the portable classroom situation in Dtwham isn't resolved, then by September of 1988 there will be approx- imately 490 portable classrooms in the region, posing an even more critical situation Durham education officials have told me. Parents, students and teachers should be asking if Mr. Peterson and his government are really committed to pro- viding a first-class education. Since the liberals have chosen, both in 1985 and again in 1987, the quality of education and their record as one of their campaign highlights then they should be telling the voters of Durham West how they will address these pro- blem and should be accountable. How can you cut down the pupil; teacher ratio therefore necessitating the need for even more classrooms when we are already 430 short? What a cruel joke to play on our children!
