Jan. 6, 1988 PICKERING AF1 O $709000 For Durham Board The Ministry of Educa- tion has awarded $1,180,000 to fund 20 pilot projects under the Access to Employment Program for Co-operative Education. Education Minister Chris Ward said that a project of the Durham Board of Education has been selected and $70,000 allocated for it. The project is aimed at keeping students who are at risk of dropping out of school in school through co- operative education pro- grams and providing students who have dropped back into school with the opportunity to take part in co-op programs. The funding ranges from $50,000 to a maximum of $75,000 per project and in the case of partnership in- itiatives from $20,000 to $'75,000. The pilot projects will help encourage greater participation by special populations that have been under -represented in co- operative education pro- grams and also lead to the development of programs that focus on the needs of students at risk of dropping out or who have returned to school.

I rad a historical novel recently that mentioned "Is- inglass" windows. What exactly is isinglass? R.G. A. Isinglass is the name for sheets of mica. Before glass became commonly used, sheets of colorless mica wen used as windows. Mica is the name used for a whole family of rock forming minerals. Micas can be split into thin sheets. They are soft and can be scratched easily with a fingernail. They range from colorless through shades of yellow, green, red, browr: and black. Micas are part of a large group of Wwo s rocks found in the earth's crust and today micas are mined in the United States, Canada, India, Madagascar, and many other countries. Since micas make very good insulators, they are toed to- day in the manufacture of electrical equipment such as toasters, electric irons, and lamp sockets. Q. What do ants eat? B.R. A.

Il88 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Resolutions b_v Bob Watson ' Our New Year's Resolutions include - 1) Let's start paying off our national debt (over $200 billion) (because the interest rate is very heavy and balance the books by cutting costs and increasing income taxes. 2) Build up our armed forces with compulsory military ser- vice for everyone (male de. female) 18 to 20 yrs of age. The discipline, survival training and experience would benefit us all and keep us ready for any emergency. 3) Let's privatize all crown corporations including Air Canada and the CBC. They all could be profitable organiza- tions with private enterprise management. 4) Let's resolve to keep our external affairs (attention Mr. PM and Joe Clark) noses out of South Africa - and stop help- ing the communists take over Africa! It sure hasn't helped the Ethiopians or the Mozambique nation. Mainstream Canada Starting off on the right foot By Ann M. Smith Let's begin 1968 on a posi- tive note. It's nice to indulge even once in a while in a good dose of complaomo by putting sonic space between ourselves and all the day-to-day horrors we see and tad about during much of the calendar year. So by concentrating on some of the happier footnotes from the previous 12 months. Cana- dians may hopefully be able to enter the upcormng yew with an increased sense of optimism and encouragement. For starters, let's take a look at the most recant uncrnploy- ment figures. The number of jobless workers in this country has dropped to the lowest kvel in a number of years and every reasonable forecast indicates that this very positive trend will continue through to at least the end of 1968. This isn't to say, of course; that unemployment is no longer a problem for many regions of the country, but Canadians can take at least some comfort in the recent downward spiral - Aad interest rates are also nicely under control. This is something that is wielcomed with a great sigh of relief by man C radms—homeowners and small business peoples for example—w ho still wince from the excruciating pain caused b% the early 1980'% recession. And another positive sign of our healthy economy is the once, defamed Canadian dollar. %% hile many countries in the international marketplace are torted to watch their currencies doing cartwheels around the American dollar. Canada has very quietly maintained its straight -as -an -arrow course of action. Japan, for example, is desperately seeking solutions to help stabilize the behavior of its highly erratic yen and the government in that country would probably pay an awful lot of money (for what it's worth) for a chance to follow in the path of our dollar. And, of course, what roundup of 19R' would be com- pktc without at Ie." mention- ing fm trade? %e've survived the first few heated months of debate and Canadians are finally secing the outline of a sanible and pragmatic debate taking shape. W ve also had reason to cheer events on the imcma- tional front. The images of American president Ronald Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev in a com- mon spirit of goodwill we likely to remain with us for many years to conic. The ironer us - Soviet missile agreement could well be tetaeanbei as 1997's Even the so-called stock market aash in early October— which came in with a bang— has va itsbed with bandy a whimper. Thc market survived and is. in fact. higher than at this time a yew ago when many considered the brokerage busi- ness to be in great shape. There oras no repeat of 19_14—no( nen close—and despite all the fervor and attention, no stock brokers opted to take the Big Plunge. But perhaps for many Cana- dians the most exciting moments of 1987 were spent inches away from the television set during the month of Sep- tember. Ring a bell? If any single event can polarize this country, hockey, may well be it. In case you've forgotten— perish the thought Team Canada beat the Soviets in what was one of the greatest hockey series of all time. !vow there's something worth talking about. Happy New Year!

All The Best Bob Rae by Bob Watson We received a two page letter late last week from Bob Rae, Ontario Leader of the Official Opposition and also leader of the Ontario New Democratic Party. The letter in part said: "I should be honoured if you would include this message in the upcoming edition of your pubication." It seems that while other political folks place paid advertisements to send Season's Greetings to their constituents or send greeting cards, the leader of our socialists wants newspapers around the province to give him this space at no charge! Perhaps as the NDP gets most of its money from compulsory donations of funds from trade union members, Mr. Rae is used to getting money and resources easily (com- pared to the other political parties) - but still doesn't want to spend a nickel to ,ee an earthquake.

Construction is expected to start shortly. Strong Markets Forecast in 1988 Growth in the national economy and acceptable interest rates are expected to continue to stimulate home buying ac- tivity across the country in 1968, according to Canada's leading realtor. "We fed there will be little or no negative impact on either the economy or residential real estate markets as a result of the stock market correction in October." says Oz- zie Juarock, Preskd Royal LePage Residential Real Estate Services, "so there's every reason to expect a good real estate market next year.' Lions Clubs Annual Telethon Metro Toronto lions Clubs have joined forces with Chan- ad hao-rid 47 Cable 4 to stage a Telethon for its favourite projects - Canine Vision Canada, the training of guide dogs for visual- ly impaired Canadians, and its many other community ser- vice projects on Sat. Jan. 23rd from 6 p.m. to 2 a.m. The L m s Foundation of Canada undertook the task of developing a national guide dog training school in 1983. The school, located in Oakville, is designed to eventually train 12() teams a year: One on one intensive training sessions that last 30 days, teach both student and guide dog to in- stinctively help each direct the other through busy intersec- tions and hard -to -maneuver places. Export Deal With Vermont Ontario Hydro and the Vermont Department of Public Service have reached agreement on a five year electricity export deal. Ontario Hydro will make available up to 73 megawatts of firm power and energy. Vermont will arrange to transmit the power from the Ontario border to the State of Vermont. Under the terms of the contract, Vermont will have the op- tion to increase this quantity by an additional 39 megawatts, for a maximum total of 112 megawatts. The gross revenue over the term of the contract is estimated to be near si6o million Canadian. PCB Processing Unit Approved The Ministry of Environment has granted Ontario Hydro all necessary approvals for operation of its Mobile PCB Processing Unit. the unit, housed in a tractor trailer, removes low level PCBs from insulating oils. The mobile processing unit was built by Enervac of Cam- bridge, Ontario to Hydro's specifications and was delivered to Hydro for testing in October, 1984. The chemical process treats low-level PCBs in insulating oil used in transformers, turning them into common salt and other harmless by- products. The process allows the insulating oil to be reused rather than destroyed. Use of the mobile unit to treat oil on site reduces the need to transport contaminated oil. .......................................::.:::::..:..:........... .................................................. .......... Billion Mind Link At noon Greenwich time on Dec. 31, 1987, people in more than 100 countries paused for an hour in time to participate in the second annual World Healing Day - which its organizers say would be the most powerful affirmation of peace and goodwill in history. While the media reported worldwide participation of up to 400 million for the Dec. 31st, 1986 event, the '87 goal is no less than one billion. The majority of in- dividuals and organiza- tions involved in this an- nual activity are operating under the umbrella of the a worldwide non- demoninational, non- political organization without a headquarters. structure, or fund-raising activities. The commission is simp- ly a grass roots nwvement launched by The Quartus Foundation in Austin, Texas as a way of uniting people in a cooperative ef- fort for responsible action, peace, and world harmony. According to Barbara Douthitt, Commission Coordinator at Quartus, the purpose of the global mind - link is to create greater understanding and mutual trust among people in all nations. "We want to demonstrate that a suffi- cient number of world citizens can gather in a common bond to demand an end to hostilities, hunger. poverty, and the subjugation of individual freedom," Douthitt said. Quartus directors made the first formal announce- ment of the Commission on Jan. 1, 1984, with the stated objective of having 500 million people consenting to peace on earth and the healing of this world - with a minimum of 50 million joining in the mind -link at the same hour in time. Dec. 31, 1986 was designated as the first "World Healing Day" and noon Greenwich was selected as the hour in order to encompass all time zones during that 24 hour period. Douthitt noted that the goal of one billion represents about twenty percent of the global population, "a task force with an attitude of mind that must be recognized by world leaders. Remember that it was president Eisenhower who said in 1959 that "people in the long run are going to do more to promote peace than are governments. In- deed. I think that people want peace so much that Wed.

Joel Huter and family operate the biggest• in- dependent ski resort in Canada at Mount St. Louis- _ Moonstone, lust north of Barrie. Over the summer, the Huters almost moved a mountain. They bulldozed so much earth onto Moonstone that they were able to add another 80 feet of � project Included more snowmak- ing equipment and a third quad dhawlift for the Arun pr'operty At neighbouring Horseshoe Valley Resort, the major on -hill mansion of the past few years has been followed by a beautiful five-star resort bold with full recreational facilities. The price tag for the 102 -room hotel was $12 million. Collingwood's Blue Mountain Resort has added a double chairlift, $2 million worth of new trails and more snowmaking and P'ooming equipment. Major improvements are evident at several other downhill resorts. The Beaver Valley Ski Club spent $800,000 on new trail development and snowmaking. A triple chairlift was installed at Glen Eden Resort near Hilton. Snowmaking equipment was upgraded at the two Bethany resorts, SizieM and Devil's Elbow. In Halibrton, the quaint Sir Sam's Ski Resort spent =200,000 to improve its slopes.

They believe that the same components of fish oil thought to decrease the tisk of heart disease, namely the omega-3 fatty acids, will help reduce the pain, inflammation and stiffness of the joints experienced by ar- thritis sufferers. In a recent interview, Toronto physician Dr. Edward Keystone said that three out of eleven of his patients with severe rheumatoid arthritis experienced noticeable improvements when taking fish oils. The patients daily, took 10 MaxEPA softgels (capsules) con- taining the omega-3 fish oils, along with other anti -rheumatic New York physician Dr. Joel Kremer has also studied the ef- fects of adding MaxEPA softgels to the treatment regimen for rheumatoid arthritis. Twenty- three patients reported fewer tender joints and at least a two hour delay in the onset of fatigue after taking 15 MaxEPA softgels daily for 14 weeks. In contrast, 21 patients taking a placebo capsule - containing no fish oil had no change in symptoms. Neither group changed their diets in any way. Kremer's research indicates that patients must take the softgels for several weeks before noticing im- provement and at no time does the MaxEPA cause symptoms to go away altogether. The beneficial effects of the fish oil supplements continue for some time after pa- tients stop taking them. Both Keystone and Kremer in- sist patients continue with their regular medication as well, since research to date indicates that fish oils are a useful adjunct to but not a replacement therapy for rheu- matoid arthritis.

Cover your meal with foil and sprinkle on your usual amount of salt. Measure the salt you've added. One-quarter of a teaspoon is about 500 mg of sodium. One to three grams (1000 to 3000 ung) a day is considered to be an adequate intake for adults. Salt. of course, is a popular sea- soning. It's also an essential nutrient. But a large number of health -cow sciotrs consumers are starting to use salt in moderation in a conscious effort to make changes to their life- style. To black up changes in eating habits. we're also excmishng more. cutting back on alcohol consumption and giving up cigarettes.

Marty consumers don't read labels carefully and may not be aware: of the sodium content in popular everyday foods such as ready -to -at dry and anxied soups.

When omega-3 fatty acids become incorporated into these compounds, they cause Less inflammation in the body. With less inflammation there is Less pain. Omega-3 fatty acids may also exert their effects through a favorable alteration in the body's immune system. Rheumatoid ar- thritis is considered an auto - Immune disease in which the body mistakes some of its own cells for foreign cells and produces anti- bodies to attack them. Pro- staglandins and leukotrienes are involved in both inflammation and the immune response. The in- corporation of omega-3 fatty acids into these compounds makes them less able to mediate either process. Patients should not use cod liver oil as a source of omega-3 fatty acids.

That much cod liver oil would provide dangerously high amounts of Vitamin A and D if consumed daily. Since the oil in MaxEPA softgels is extracted from the flesh, not the liver, of fish, there is no danger of Vitamin A and D poisioning from MaxEPA soft- gels. MaxEPA softgels are currently available in Canada only to ap- proved researchers and physi- cians. Researchers haven't deter- mined yet the optimal dosage and duration of treatment with MaxEPA. The amount of fish oil consumed by Kremer's patients is equivalent to about one large serv- ing of cold water fish daily, mak- ing it equally possible to derive the (benefits of fish oils from carefully -chosen foods.

You still have time to appeal your 1987 assessment if you feel your home or business property has been improperly assessed. Your assessment is important because the amount of property tax you will pay in 1988 depends on it. The assessed value of your property is multiplied by the municipal and school mdI rates to determine your prop- erty taxes. Notices of Property Valuation were mailed to property owners and tenants whose assessments have changed since last year. Open house information sessions were heli in your area to give you the opportunity to ask ques- tions and correct any errors. The Assessment Roll was delivered to your municipality -on December 22, 1987 and will be used to calculate the taxes you will pay in 1988. You can review the Roll at your municipal office during regular business hours. If you believe your property has been improperly assessed and you have not yet registered an appeal, you still have until January 12, 1988 to mail or deliver your appeal to the Assessment Review Board. And remember, even if you did not receive a Notice of Property Valuation, you still have the right to appeal. Appeal deadline — January 12,1988 The Assessment Review Board is an independent tri- bunal under the jurisdiction of the Ontario Ministry of the Attorney General. It is intended to provide you with an additional opportunity to have your assessment reviewed if, in your opinion, it is not fair and equitable with the assessment of similar properties in your area. The Review Board is more informal and relaxed than a regular court of law. You may present your own case, retain a lawyer, or ask a relative or friend to speak as your agent. To help you in filing your appeal, Notice of Appeal forms are available from the Assessment Review Board, your Regional Assessment Office, or your municipal office. You can also use the reverse side of a Notice of Property Valuation, or write a letter giving the property address and roll number along with your reasons for appealing. Appeals should be forwarded to the Regional Registrar of the Assessment Review Board at the address shown below. In those parts of Ontario designated for French Lan- guage Services, you can appear before a bilingual (Eng- lish/French) English/French) Appeal Board. Please check the space provided on your appeal form if you wish to use this service. Ministry AS$ESSMENIrar TREVIEW BOARD MINISTRY OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL l 7vT ' of 277 cewge st.

CALL. 9608975 tiara -RL "4 pva, SaL 1&4 lin The Matter to foods. Fat suppiies nine calories while a gram of�carbohydrate oc protein gives only four glories. Although there are many different kinds of fat and some are thought to be better than others, we need to lower the total amount of fat that we eat. Fat in foods includes visi- ble fats and oils such as butter, margarine, mayon- naise, salad oil and the fat you trim from meat or remove when you skin a chicken. It also refers to the substances that you do not readily think of as fat, such as the white streaks that marble a steak. Nuts, cheeses, avocados, pastries and many conve- nience foods also contain bidden fats. A whole avocado contains the equivalent of eight pats of butter! With all the bad things you bear about fat. it may surprise you that some fat in the diet is necessary. All body tissues contain fat. It is an essential part of all cell membranes and helps maintain healthy skin. Fat deposits have several important func- tions: they serve as reserves of energy for times wihea the body needs it; they protect vital organs; and they maintain body temperature. Fat can be a source of essential nutrients such as llnoielc acid and the fat soluble vitamins A. D, E and K. Fat adds flavour to food and makes it more pleasurable to the palate. While some fat is required, most people include too much in their diet. Here are some low fat diary product substitutions you can make: use low fat yogurt (2% BF or less) in- stead of sour cream for baked potato topping, dips, desserts, baked goods; use mills, skim or non-fat milk instead of whole milk for beverages, soups, desserts; use non-fat dry milk or evaporated skim milk instead of cream, half n half or whole milk for coffee, tea; use low fat cottage cheese (2% or less) instead of ricotta or feta cheese for pasta, salads, dip; use ricotta cheese (10% or less) instead of cream cheese for spreads, dips, cheese cake; use ice milk or frozen yogurt in- stead of ice cream for dessert and snacks; use processed skim milk cheese slices instead of regular processed cheese slices for sandwiches, salads, topping on burger. Every Bite Counts Changing food habits is hard work. If you want to cut down on fats you will need to make more than just a few temporary changes.

Winning the September 10th Provincial Election in Durham West was a major highlight and I appreciate very much the confidence voters have shown in me. The new year will bring numerous developments of note at the provincial level. On Jan. 1st, for example, the Pay Equity Act of Ontario will come into effect. The Province's legislation on Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy is to be implemented that day as well. Among other things, the Government intends to introduce legislative changes in the new year to allow municipalities to regulate Sunday store openings. And beginning in January the Legislature's Standing Committee on Ad- ministration of Justice will hear submissions on Bill 2, an Act to establish the Ontario Automobile Insurance Board and provide for the Review of Automobile Instu•ance Rates. In terms of the economy in Ontario, an upbeat forecast has been issued by the Province. Trfts mer Bob Nixon recently stated the rate of economic growth projected for next year is very healthy. According to the Government's Economic Outlook the Ontario economy will grow by 2.8 percent, in real terms, m 1988.

NORAH'S NOTES: Congratulations to Mrs. Monica Cook of Pickering, a reci- pient of the Ministry of Tourism and Recreation's Corps d'Efite Ontario award, which recognizes accomplishments in the area of recreation. Mrs. Cook has worked in the com- munity with the Girl Guides and a disabled children's swimming program for a total of 44 years. The award was presented during the Olympic Torch Relay ceremonies held Dec. 21st to be on hand for the torch ceremonies in both Pickering and Ajax that evening. The Town of Ajax has received approval from the Tourism and Recreation Ministry for a $15,000 grant. The grant will be used to pay half the cost of a feasibility study to determine the town's recreational needs. The Town of Pickering is eligible for a provincial grant for the proposed construction of an extension of the municipal watermain to the community of Cherrywood West. The decision on eligibility for the grant, which is estimated at 85 percent of the total eligible cost of the pro- ject, is based on preliminary information available. The Ministry of the Environment will be able to consider the commitment of funding once preparatory work and cost estimates are completed. Youngsters need a good breakfast The hockey season is here.

Its value in helping prevent constipation has been accepted for years, but now some people credit it with curing medical problems like cancer of the colon and heart disease. These claims are not really substantiated, say food and nutrition specialists with the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food. Firstly. although there's just one "generic" name for fibre there are several different types of this indigestible plant material. Each one works in a different way in the body. For example certain kinds appear to lower blood cholesterol, others seem to have no effect and some actually increase it. Secondly, while some of the research has been promising. the still incomplete results have been blown up out of pro- portion, creating a number of incorrect impressions about this complex plant carbohy- drate. As a result, many peo- ple have gv one e in non -prescribed high fibre diet, or are taking fibre pills. Thee aren't nees- sary and could possibly lie harmful. W ith all the highly- proceseied foods available today, most people would benefit from more roughage in their meals but there's no treed to go over- board. The easiest, healthiest and safest way to improve the situation is to simply increase the amount of unrefuued, whole foods eaten. For example: • (:hoose 100 per cent whole wheat or cracked wheat bread instead of white. • Have cooked -at-home, whole grain cereals or cold bran cereals for breakfast rather than highly -processed ones. • Include seeds and nuts in meals and snacks. • Add bran to muffins, quick breads, pancakes, and cas- .erule toppings. • 1: se dried peas, beans and lentils in casseroles, soups, and dips.
