Fresco is a method of wall painting in which pigments are ground in water and then applied to a moist, freshly plastered wall. This method is known as buon fresco. Preliminary sketching is done on the under piaster with a mixture of reddish brown clay and water. Then it is deter- mined how large an area the painter can complete in a day and a fresh top layer of piaster is applied to the wall. The artist must work directly on this plaster while still damp and cannot make mistakes. The Renaissance produced the world's greatest frescos such as Raphael's "The School of Athens". The technique reached its peak with the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel by Michelangelo. Q. While we were in Europe we noticed signs in stores listing the V.A.T. What exactly is a V.A.T.? S.R. A. V.A.T. stands for Value Added Tax, a type of national sales tax imposed by almost all Western European coun- tries as a major source of revenue. Everyone, at each stage of the production and distribution of a product, is required to pay a V.A.T. on purchases needed to produce the pro- duct. Each one in turn tacks on a V.A.T. to the price of the product to cover his costs and taxes paid. The tax is passed eventually to the final customer. Although it sounds complex in practice, the system is fairly simple. Each company simply takes its gross receipts, subtracts its payments to other companies ( which have already been taxed) and applies the V.A.T. tax rate to the result. The consumer ultimately bears the burden of course, but it is hidden away in the price of the product. STAFFORID nR0T11F.R1 111ONI-11ENTS LT11. 318 DUNDAS ST E. • WHITBY.

Gregory Todd Of Ajax Goes Off To Europe The Team Western Hockey Club of Winnipeg has announced that Gregory Todd of Ajax will be in the lineup when the club tours Europe this January.

Team Manager, Dave ................................................................ Q. What is the difference between "tenants in common" and "tenants in entirety,.? M. K. A. According to The Illustrated Encyclopedic Dictionary of Real Estate Terms by Jerome S. Gross, tenancy in common is the "condition existing when two or more individuals own property .. and there being no right of survivorship." Tenancy by the entirety is "a joint estate equally owned by husband and wife, with the one surviving receiving the en- tire estate." The right of survivorship means that the ownership of the property transfers to the surviving co- owner upon the death of one of the owners rather than to the estate of the deceased owner.

CLOCA Assists In Roundup As part of the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources program to establish a breeding population of trumpeter swans on Cranberry Marsh (located at the Lynde Shores Conservation Arm in Whitby), staff from the Central Lake Ontario Con- servation Authority will take part in a swan roun- dup on Thurs. Aug. 27th. M.N.R. wildlife biologist Dr. harry Lumsden directs this program in which the eW of Mute swans ( a species not native to North America) are replaced with trumpeter eggs. In as der to monitor the etfectivemess of the pro- gram. swans on the marsh are rounded up and fitted with numbered wing tags. These highly visible tags assist in the ongoing research to determine the survival success of the trumpeter young - Cranberry Marsh is already well known for its excellent wildlife viewing opportunities. Its three lookout platforms provide nature watchers with a superior view of marsh life. The successful outcome of the trumpeter swan pro- gram will add one more unusual species to the already long list of aquatic animals sighted from these lookouts. The public is invited to attend CLOCA's Water- fowl Viewing Day at Cranberry Marsh on Sun. Sept. 20th. Starting at 1 p.m. Authority staff will be on hand to point out various species of migrating water- fowl and a telescope will be set up for public use. For more information call 579.0411.

J . 1 a .., Let's Get This Straight by Bob Watson The Federation of Women Teachers' Association of On- tario has just held its annual convention and some very peculiar ideas, in our opinion, have been reported in the Toronto Star. The report says that the convention voted unanimously to fight what delegates say is the "substantial racism that plagues the province's schools". Knowing that the classroom is under the jurisdiction of these teachers, we ask ourselves why they are not handling their classrooms differently if they find a problem of this kind. But the amazing part of the convention is that it says that studies show that ethnic minority students often suffer from low self-esteem because textbooks and curriculum do not reflect their culture! Well, we believe strongly that this is Canada and incoming people to our land will have to accept the fact that this is a new land to them and they should try to join us - not sulk and wait for the culture which they left to be imposed on us here. How ridiculous this is - but it reveals that there is some very corrupted thinking among some of our teachers to really believe that a school system in Canada can be run to include all of the world's way of education at the same time?? This is a view which ought to be put to rest. There is a campaign on right now to have a one school system in Ontario which none of our campaigning politi- cians have grabbed yet. Those of urs who are many genera tions Canadian - and proud of it - may be regretting the open door policy to many people from other lands - if they come here and expect us to change our ways to fit their old land ways. We wish the federal and provincial governments would come out and declare that the object of immigrating to Canada is to join us - not dominate tis Canadians. Canadians I Wake up and react to these ideas of the women teachers before our land is takerwer by newcomers, unwilling to fit into our society. On Immigration To the Editor: Parliament has been recalled to pass Bill C55 because of the stirrings of Canadians both native barn and by choice who are reacting to multi -cultural - ethno-cultural ----- ale groups. As a citizen I feel under increasing attack in those areas which involve illegal immigrants and those who would play fast and loose with our Constitution and our heritage. We have to watch, more than ever in our history• people like Sergio Marchi, Liberal M.P. for York west who is ad- vocating some very disturbing ideas regarding our official languages. English and French. These ideas would, if im- pienented, have grave consequences for future genera- tions. I had the opportunity to listen to the above mentioned M.P. speak on CBC Radio Noon. August 3. It is my opinion that Mr. Marchi would like to see English and French gradually phased out, relegated to the background as it were. in&& unimportant while other languages flourish. He wishes to enshrine the concept of multiculturalism in our constitution, making it, in a sense, one corner of a new foun- dation which, while embracing the French, English and Aboriginal traditions, leaves the door wide open to letting Canada become not only multicultural but multi-lingual under the law. It has been the Canadian experience that when im- migrants comae to our country they keep many of their own customs while at the same time integrate in Canadian life. This tends to create a rich mosaic of many cultures which is a good and healthy thing and benefits us all. Canada is a great countrn• with a proud heritage strongly rooted in its two founding nations. She has room and welcome for those who come here legally and honourably- seeking to make this their home and to respect those traditions and laws by which we live. I feel that there is a real and present danger in the concept of multiculturalism enshrined as law in our Constitution as proposed by Sergio Marchi. Liberal, North York. If I had come to these shores stealthily and illegally as the migrants did, there would be any number of glitzy lawyers to speak for me, no doubt, but as my family came quietly and unannounced in 1817, sadly. I and others like me have only ourselves to speak out against those who threaten our beloved heritage. I do not want to lose it. We do not have an organized pressure group to fight back with. Who speaks for us? As for myself, I am willing to stand up and be counted. Let's get organized against pressure groups.

David Owen, board chairman, decided to organize the meeting "to make both the public and the candidates aware of some serious educational issues," he says. "Some of the education issues that have been rais- ed during the campaign, or that are of concern to the educational community, have a complexity that the average person either doesn't understand or is not aware of," Mr. Owen says. "Those of us involved in education have the knowledge and the exper- tise to ask the right ques- tions and ensure that the issues are clarified for the voter." Twelve of the candidates in Scarborough's six ridings have already agreed to participate in the meeting, witich begins at 7 p.m. in the Meeting Hall of the Education /Civic Cen- tre, 140 Borough Dr. Scar- borough. Candidates will receive in advance the questions, which will address the level of provincial funding in Metropolitan Toronto; the capital needs of public education in Metro Toron- to: the legislation controll- ing the negotiating process with teachers: and the kcal autonomy of public school boards. .*The leaders of all three major parties have made statements about educa- tion during the campaign that beg questions about feasibility and funding," says Mr. Owen. "For example, Premier David Peterson announced that the Liberal govern- ment plans to hire 4,000 teachers to lower the class size in grades 1 and 2 to 20 students," he says. "This comment raises several questions," he ex- plains. "In Metro Toronto alone, where the average class size is 24 students, this change would require 297 teachers at an annual cost of $15 -million in salaries, plus the cost o(297 additional classrooms. Where would the money come from and would the funding continue beyond one year? Would the pro- vince hire these teachers directly, meaning outside the collective agreement that the teaching federa- tions have signed with school boards? These are the kinds of things we would like to know, and we think the public should know before they decide who to vote for. The discussion should be especially interesting as a high percentage of the can- didates in Scarborough have a background in education, Mr. Owen adds. Gerry Phillips, the Liberal candidate in Scarborough -Agincourt is a former chairman of both the Metro Toronto School Board and Scarborough Board of Education.

THE DOCTOR'S OFFICE 325 Bamburgh Circle Scarborough, Ontario rr Business Community News Stock Splits & Stock Dividends by Alan R. Harman of Mcleod Young Weir Stock splits, along with their first cousins, stock dividends, are subjects of much confusion among in- vestors. Many people believe that when a board of directors splits the com- pany's stock or announces ,a stock dividend, shareholders get something for nothing. This, of course, is not true; there are no freebies on Bay St. Others think that a stock split means the stock is "on the move" and therefore will go up. There's more truth to this notion than to the something -for -nothing one - but not much. Conse- quently, instead of sear- ching for issues that seem on the verge of splitting, you'd probably do better to simply buy stocks with strong growth prospects. A "stock split" is nothing more than the division of a corporation's outstanding common shares into a larger number of shares, according to a formula like 2-for-1, 3 -for -1, etc. The usual reason it's done is to create interest in the stock among a wider group of in- vestors by Wwering the per share price. Thus, when one million shares trading at $50 apiece split 2dor-1, the immediate result is two million shares trading at SM. Shareholders end up with precisely the same propor- tionate investment in the company as before the split. The belief that once a stock splits its price will rise stems from the fact that - if only for psychological reasons - many investors do prefer cheaper shares. Therefore, a $120 stock that suddenly costs only $60 (or even $30 in a 4 -for -1 split) achieves instant affordability to many investors who might have balked at paying the original price. ( But, of course, they get a commen- surately smaller piece of the company for their $60 or $30). News of an impending stock split may well cause a flurry of buying by "bargain hunters", which indeed pushes the stock price up. This advance, however, is usually only temporary. Split stocks often decline within a relatively short time. A "stock dividend" is more clearly beneficial to the investor, but it is still not something for nothing. It is a dividend paid in com- mon shares rather than in cash and may be given in addition to or instead of a regular cash dividend. Nor- mally, the shares distributed are those of the issuing company, but they may also be those of a com- pany subsidiary. Boards of directors sometimes declare a stock dividend when they want to conserve cash yet still allow shareholders to par- ticipate in the company's increased earnings. But remember that as an owner, you are entitled to gain when the comfy does well; if there were no stock dividend, you would expect a higher casts divi- dend. If the stock dividend is 5%, and you own 300 shares, you will receive 15 more shares. But, again, the total value of your holdings will not change because the price of each share will be adjusted to of- fset the dividend. So, for example, if the price per share before the dividend was $10, after the dividend it would be about $9.50. Then how does a stock dividend benefit you? If the company keeps paying cash dividends at its previous rate per share (or raises the rate, as is often the case), then the stock dividend is indeed valuable. It gives investors more shares on which to collect cash dividends in the future. But if manage- ment cuts the cash divi- dend to offset the distribu- tion of additional shares, then the stock dividend is of questionable value.

The surrounding scenery, smack in the middle of 'Canada's Million Acre Farm', is the picture of pastoral charm - jade preen hills and furrowed fields, neat farms and graz- ing cows, spruce woods, hedgerows, and castles... Castles? That's right, with towers, turrets, moats - the works. You've just come upon Woodleigh Replicas, a col- lection of more than a dozen castles, cathedrals and other famous land- marks of the British Isles. Woodleigh Replicas, in turn, have become a land- mark on this east -coast vacation island known world-wide as the home of Anne of Green Gables and fabulous beaches. Since 1985, when they first open- ed to the public, the Replicas have drawn millions of visitors for 'a glimpse of Britain on P.E.U. Woodleo Replicas was the brainchild of the late Colonel Ernest Wilbur Johnstone, a Prince Ed- ward Islander with a keen interest in his ancestral roots. While stationed overseas during World War 1, the Colonel got a chance to visit his native Scotland. including the Johnstone family home, called 'Woodleigh'. Fie was intrigued by the landscape and architecture of the British Isles and when he returned to Canada after the war, he decided to replicate some of Britain's unique charms on Prince Edward Island. For a setting, he chose 130 acres of rolling farmland in Burlington, near the spec- tacular north shore of cen- tral Prince Edward Island Initially, however, Col- onel Johnstone had no thought of building a tourist attraction. "Woodleigh started off as a bobby," explair>s his son Archie. "As it grew, we were encouraged by the Department of Tourism to open it up as an attraction." When they did, Archie Johnstone and his wife Philicia managed the business end of the opera- tion. As for the Colonel, the Replicas remained a con- suming passion, right up until his death in 1984 at the For on your trawl needs "We'll show you what Travel Service really means" 2"83W MORNINGSIDE MALL The mall entrance beside Woolco, Upper Level OVEN 9t30 am. - 8:30 p.m. Mon. - Fri. 10 am. - 5 p.m. Saturdays age of eighty-six. Soon after acquiring the property, Colonel Johnstone set about clear- ing the land. That done, he began the landscaping - planting the flower beds, shrubs and hedges that to- day form a spectacular backdrop to the replicas. At the same time, he started to stockpile granite rocks for the buildings, hauling them a few tons at a time from neighboring Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. (The only rock found on P.E.I. is soft, red sandstone.) By the time World War II came along and he was pressed into service once again, this time in Canada, he had built a lily pond, a sundial, a wishing well, and stone walls around part of the grotaxis. Colonel Johnstone was disappointed about missing the chance for overseas service. Son Archie, however, was based in England where he served as an aircrew member with a Royal Air Force bomber squadron. During the war, and later on a traveling scholarship to the British Isles in 1955, he researched and painstaking measured several famous buildings that he and his father wanted to replicate. Glamis Castle was the fust to be built, in 1946. Like all the other buildings replicated at Woodleigh, Glamis has historic or literary significance. The real castle, in Angus, Scotland. is the Birthplace of Princess Margaret and the childhood home e of the Queen Mother. By the time Woodleigh opened to the public, the Colonel and his son had completed four other buildings - Gray's Church hof Elegy fame), Anne Hathaway's Cottage, Shakespeare's Birthplace, the the Blue Dragon Inn. The Inn, unlike the others. is not a replica, but a representation of the half- timbered, Elizabethan - style watering hole that has become a British institu- tion. Retaining the authentim- ty of the Replicas meant copying thousands of exac- ting details. The York Minister replica, a one -to - twenty scale model, con- tains one hundred and forty-five leaded and col- ored glass windows. The lead - almost two tonus for the windows, pinnacles, gargoyles, and other decorative features - was all blank -cast, on site. In the larger models, the same precise detailing is carried inside. In the Tower of London, a one -to - six scale model large enough to walk through, visitors can view frill -scale reproductions of the Crown Jewels. Dunvegan Castle is the largest single structure - a one -to -three scale model of the original, which is located on the Isle of Skye in Scotland. For the past seven centuries, the Castle has.been occupied by. the MacLeod family, and at the Grand Opening of the replica at Woodleigh in 1964, Dame Flora MacLeod, the MacLeod Clan Chief and mistress of Dunvegan, was on hand to cut the Clan ribbon. "I think that overall, she was quite impressed. But I don't know what she thought of the skeleton in the dungeon," chuckles Ar- chie Johnstone. The skeleton, a real one, has been a factor in making Dunvegan Castle one of the most popular attractions at Woodleigh Replicas. While only half the size in scale, the Tower of London Is the largest complex at Woodleigh, the exterior walls measuring over 300 feet in circumference. It was also the largest pro- ject, taking six men almost six years to complete. Colonel Johnstone's last project was a replica of the Grecian -style Temple of Flora in Stourhead Gardens, about 100 miles from London. He com- pleted it in 1979, a year after the Johnstone family decided to sell Woodleigh Replicas. Woodleigh Replicas is still going strong. And Manager, Grant MacRae, hopes to increase the number of visitors to Woodleigh. "Last year,.. he says, "we had 82,000 people here, and we are aiming for much more." One of the biggest markets is motor - coach tows, an area in which MacRae has specialized training.

Dear John: Next to the dentist. there's nothing I hate more than collecting grass clippings. Can I leave them after mowing? Dear Grass Catcher: A regular appointment for collecting grass clippings isn't always necessary. If you mow often enough to cut only one-third of the grass blade, you can leave the clippings on your lawn in most cases. A season's worth of decomposed grass clippings equals about one application of fertilizer. But. if you're trying to achieve a lawn with a neat. pristine appearance. you'll want to bag clippings. Also, it's a good idea to collect clippings if they're more than an inch long because they can contribute to POOL SPECIALS With two Scarborough United teams facing off in the Under -12 division the club was certain to have at least one of its five semi- final teams in the Sept. 6th Finals. With winds gusting at over 45 km. per hour throughout the game good soccer came only in brief periods. The Scorpions played in- to the strong winds in the first half and took the lead on a shot from Maura Dyer. Denise Hosey was playing an ag ressive game for the Ghosibusters, but with the wind at their backs for the second half the Scorpions took control as Melanie Moulton (2), Jen Ley (2) , Tasha Ellis and Jackie Ley scored to give their team a 7-0 win and a berth in the finals. Brampton was the host club for the girls' Under -16 semi-finals as the Scar- borough United Buc- caneers squared off against St. Catharines. The Buccs found themselves down by agoal after only 12 minutes. However, 'the Niagara -region team failed to capitalize on their ad- vantage and the Scar- borough girlsgained a greater share of the play. On the stroke of half-time the Buccs finally broke through when forward Lina Guglietti fired home from 15 yards out. United took the initiative at the start of the second half and were rewarded at the 18 -minute mark when a corner from Missy Hyman was netted by Mary Pipilas. United goalkeeper Sue- Moy Chin was hardly troubled and had good sup- port from defenders Michelle Carter and Jen- nifer Johnson. With less than a minute remaining Missy Hyman lofted a free kick into the St. Catharines E alty area where Lina liatti applied the shing touch for a 3-1 vic- tory. Scarborough now meets Burlington in the final. The strength of Scar- borough United teams will be evident in the Under -18 0 'or) final on Sept. 6th. i -final play saw the Dynamos win over Niagara on a goal each from Karen Nystrom and Kari Jamieson.

What causes this and what can I do about it? Dear Wavey Davey: Sounds like you need to give your lawn some excite- ment. Add more variety to its life - and yours - by changing your pattern each time you mow. Always mowing in the same direction causes grass blades to sweep over areas and leave skip- ped spots. Your gregarious grass will look healthier and you'll be happier if you change your mowing pattern to pre- vent a waving field of green. Dear John: i hate to take a chance and divide up my successful peren- nials. is it necessary? Dear Nervous Nellie: The say - ing "two's company. three's a crowd" goes for plants as well as humans. After a few years in the same pattern, your peren- nials will welcome a separation. Root crowding makes it difficult for peren- nials to live harmoniously beneath your garden's soil for more than a few years. The roots become so crowded that they compete with one another for nutrients and growing space - Divide perennials in the spring so the plants have a long season of warm weather to become established. And don't worry about taking a chance. When you separate the plants, they can develop new roots and mowers and achieve con- tinued success in your flower garden. Dear John: Can you give me some advice on when to harvest garden vegetables? Dear Picky Picker; Harvest most vegetables too early and they'll lack flavor. Harvest too late and they can be woody in tex- ture and taste. here's some advice on choosing the best time to pick popular vegetables. Curt broccoli when the buds are compact, but before they turn yellow or open into flowers. Leave 5 to 6 inches (10 to 15 cm) of stem attached. Cut cabbage heads when they are solid, but before they crack or split. Carrots are ready to pick when they are young, crisp and 1.2 io 1 in diameter. ( about 2 cm) . Pick corn when the silk turns dark and starts to shrivel. The kernels should be bright, plump and milky. Harvest cucumbers when they're uniformly dark green, firm and crisp. Green onions are ready for cutting when the tops are 6 inches (15 cm) high and the stem is the thickness of a pencil. Pick tomatoes when they have a healthy pink color and let them ripen indoors. Polo Club Gets Grant The True North York Water Polo Club will receive a grant from the Ministry of Tourism and Recreation to increase community participation in amateur sports.

According to Malott. consumers can e-Apect to find seedless cucumbers of ex- cellent quality in the stores from February to November. Given that greenhouse cucumbers are protected from en- %ironmental foes, such as wind and rain, quality is con- sistent and the ap- pearance of the cucumbers is always excellent. The most impor- tant centre in Canada for produc- ing greenhouse cucumbers is On- tario. It con- tributes an im- pressive 70% to the S30 million Cana- dian greenhouse cucumber in- clustry. The ma- jority of Ontario's cucumbers are grown in the Leam- cngton area. The U.S. eastern seaboard is On- tario's major ex- port market. In 1996, approximate- ly $1.5 million worth of seedless cucumbers were ,old to areas such -is Boston. Chicago .uW Michigan. On- tario also ships cucumbers across Canada, from B.C. to Nova Scotia. Today. seedless cucumbers are bred to be uniform- ly green and bitter free, with a thin txhble skin. Also as a result of breeding, these cucumbers can claim a high "burpless" rate. Critical togrow- ing seedless greenhouse cucumbers is preventing pollina- tion and using only female flowers. This means keep- ing bees and male cucumbers flowers out of the greenhouse. If pollination occurs, the cucumbers become clubbed at the end, develop a bitter taste and form seeds. Aside from flavour and colour improvements, other advantages of growing all female flower cucumbers are: less pruning, earlier availability and more cucumbers throughout the season. Innovative greenhouse production techniques in elude biological control of insects (no insecticides) and growing plants in a non -soil medium. About 20% of greenhouse cucumbers are grown in a material called "rockwool" which holds more water than soil. This coupled with better fer- tilizer control results in in- creased production. Greenhouse cucumbers are quite economical because nothing is wasted. As greenhouse vegetable prolucer Leon Radder says, "With seedless cucumbers, you're not pay- ing for a bunch of seeds and its 100% useable because you can eat the skins."
