Scarborough celebrates this week with a great deal of ac- tivity inside the schools and outside. On Mon. Apr. 18th a large crowd at the Scarborough Education Centre applaud- ed the work of the West Hill Collegiate band, which has just returned from a trip to West Germany. The Scarborough Schools Youth Choir sang magnificently and the program ended with the annual presentation of four A.S. Taylor Awards to people in the schools' community who deserved recognition. All week the activities will continue and we salute the Scarborough schools system for an excellent performance. It's Better... To Be A Canadian! by Bob Watson We are supposed to be celebrating Canadian Citizenship Week but somehow this event doesn't seem to stack up with "multi-culturalism" in our community. We believe that it is about time we Canadians. with no background to brag about except Canada, began to brag a bit. As a fifth generation Canadian and an lith generation North Amencan, your writer feels strongly, after travelling the world. that we have the best place on this earth. Why don't we brag just a little bit. It is not the Canadian way to brag we know but perhaps we could be excused by: critics if we did this one weep in the year. Or we could save it for July Ist, if only most people would stay at home that day and wave the flag. We remember as a child having to fight off the double- barrelled "English Canadian". '.Scots Canadian" or .'Irish Canadian" and when we tried to say we were Canadian, the answer came beck "There is no such citinenship '. Unfor- tunately this was true. But one of our best prime ministers. Louis St. Laurent, hack in 1941 on Jan. 1st got the Canadian Citizenship Act passed and finally those of us who do not wish to be called by a double name but just plain "Canadian" got our title at last. Maybe newcorners to our shores who have lived here for 20 and 30 years could be persuaded to stop calling themselves '•Greek.. or '.Italian" or "Jamaican" and be just ..Canadians". This week let's all start being Canadians because "It's Better .. To Be Canadian". .................................. : :::•: ::. Bob's Notes ............................

For tickets call Larry Kelly at 479-Or9 Did You Know That... The tobacco industry denies advertising to children. Cigarette brands are promoted indirectly to children as candy' cigarettes. Although not manufactured by tobacco companies, candy cigarettes have remained on the market despite obvious copyright infringements - Studies have shown that cigarette advertisements and promotional activities do indeed reach young people. Kiddie packs (15 cigarettes to a package. selling at about $2.00) have appeared on the market recently. Smoking is for children. one of the forbidden fnuits of adulthood: it seems to be associated with things only grown-ups do. Smoking appeals to a child's sense of curiosity. Smoking together creates a bond among friends. The future of the tobacco industry lies with youth - getting them to start smoking to replace each generation of older smokers as they quit or die. The average starting age for smoking today is 12. A youth who can resist smoking until the age of 20 has a good chance of remaining a non-smoker. nes t Published every Wednesday by Watson Publishing Company Limited.

British Lead Tax Revolt DAV,O SOMERVILLE Britons are once again ex- periencing xperiencing a tax revolt but this one is being led by their own prime minister. Ironically, Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher is following the lead set by its former colony, the United States Mrs. Thatcher's govern- ment recently announced a radical tax reform plan which has slashed the top tax rate by one-third to 40 per cent and established only two personal income tax rates, 25 and 40 per cent. In announcing the plan. Britain's Chancellor of the Exchequer, Nigel Lawson, ar- gued that the tax cut will actually increase the govermrternt's revenue. Excessive rates of income tax destroy enterprise, en- courage avoidance. and drive talent to more hospitable shores overseas' said Law- son. 'As a result, far from raising additional revenue. over time they actually raise less. By contrast, a reduction in the top rates of income tax The British have already seen that this approach has merit. Since she came to power in 1979. Thatcher has been steadily whittling away at the top tax rate which at one time was an stratospheric 83 per cent. Partly as a result. the British economy has taken off. It has experienced seven continuous years of growth and both inflation and unemployment have fallen substantially. Meanwhile. Britain's latest budget boasted amrpill of 2 hillion pounds the first such surplus in twenty years Tax cuts have also proven their worth elsewhere. In the United States, for instant, the cutting of top marginal tax rates began in 1982. The result has been a boorning economy and increased government revenues. New Zealand's government recently cut the top personal income tax rate from66 per cent to 48 per cent and it is now projecting a budget surplus of NZS300 million. the fust surplus since can. over time, result in a 1967.

The project includes ex- tending Leslie St. from south of Eglinton Ave. E. to the Bayview Extension south of Nesbitt Dr. follow- ing the CP rail line and the widening of Bayview Ave. from 4 to 6 lanes south from the proposed Leslie Exten- sion to the existing Bloor, Bayview, Don Valley Parkway Interchange. In order to keep traffic out of the Leaside residen- tial area, right turns from Leslie onto Millwood Rd. will be prohibited. The protect, estimated to cost $74 million in 1987 dollars, still has to pass the scrutiny of environmental assessments and the On- tario Municipal Board. The project is supported by East York Council which views it as economically beneficial to the borough. Supporters of the project say improved access to the Leaside In- dustrial and Thorncliffe Park will spark devektp- meat estimated at 5300-7100 new jobs, $10413 million in new amt and some $4 million in needed tax There is some controver- sy whether the extension will deter traffic from residential communities or dump more onto already congested local roads. Ratepayer groups from North York, East York, especially the Leaside area, and Toronto all voic- ed their objections to the proposal at a recent joint meeting of two metro com- mittees who both endorsed the project. The residents said the project would destroy their neighbourhoods by increas- ing traffic congestion. The only voice from East York at the joint commit- tee meeting. Alderman Peter Oyler, voted against the project but reversed his position at Metro Council and voted for it. This came on the heels of an extensive public tongue- lashing handed out by his colleagues York Council for f support the off " tri position. Wed.

For the pioneers, a journey re- quired a great deal of preparation, especially for food. The traveller's fare of the mid -19th century has been brought back for visitors to sample during "We'll Eat on the Way", the weekend of Apr. 23-24, at Black Creek Pioneer Village. As visitors stroll through the restored homes and other buildings of Black Greek, they will have the opportunity to sample Johnny Cake, pemmican, hardtack and more. While such foods were hardly gourmet delicacies, even in early Canada, they were essential for the ex- ploration and settling of this country. These recipes used only locally -obtained flour, pro- duce and meat, and the food kept for a long time - a vital point if you were mak- ing a long journey. As well as food samples, visitors can see a Con- estoga wagon, used by set- tlers from Pennsylvania, visit the village's harness maker and blacksmith and discover more about travelling by horse, horse and wagon, and ox cart, and take a ride through the streets of Black Creek on a horse-drawn wagon. Black Creek Pioneer Villge is open from mid- March to Dec. 31. It's operating hours in April are from 9:30 a. in. to 5 p. m. on weekdays, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekends.

Apr. 20, 1988 Bill Watt's Worlds AT THE OPERA: Words have been used to chronicle our experiences through the ages, indeed. they have been the building blocks of civilizations. Un- fortunately, they have caused us to imagine that to label something is to understand it but that can- not always be so. How, for example, can one describe the music of Mozart? Quite simply, one cannot. It must suffice then for us to say only that it is in its full splendour in the current Canadian Opera Company offering of Don Giovanni at The O'Keefe. We can though, offer our skills in attempting a description of the produc- tion. To some it might appear that co -directors Lotfi Mansouri and Graziella Sciutti have opted for a light approach to the story of the dissolute Don Juan (who was Casanova in fact). No so. After all, the opera was conceived by Mozart and librettist Lorenzo da Ponte as a drama giocoso: more than opera buffs, less than opera seria. Remember that and you will enjoy the production muchly. The interior sets, designs and costuming are much given to the gold and blacks of Spain and are, at fust appearance, most im- pressive. Then, one realizes that the sets are mostly flies and flats. That's allright though because this is a play - a morality play - unfolding before is and too much reality can intrude on the senses. The orchestra under the direction of Peter Ma ag is in fix form and even manages the difficult feat of imparting a period flavour to the music while retaining the lushness of the modern symphony or- chestra. a luxury denied to the unfortunate Mozart. (One can wonder in print if such a denial was, in fact, a bit of a blessine- Mozart'r works survive because of their musicality which owes nothing to orchestra- tion.) Anyway, it remains now for one to comment on the singers and there is little to say. They are all simply fine .. as singers and near- ly all as actors. In the title role Gino Quillico has the striking presence of and a startling resemblance to Richard Stark. He must be a direc- tor's dream as an actor and performs his role so well that one stands in danger of not truly appreciating his fine baritone. His Deh, vieni ally finestra is quite among the finest we have experienced. His father Louis Quillico has not as yet come to terms with the role of Leproello. He's funny enough when the role calls for humour as it does so frequently but the motion of honest outrage escapes him. It doesn't really mat- ter however; his fine baritone thrills throughout. We particularly enjoyed Mezzo-soprano Linda Maguire as Zerlina. She sings like the earth angel the role demands; lusty but not lustful, calculating but not scheming. Rachel Yakar as the deserted Donna Elvira can wring one's emotions with her rich soprano while making one want to wring Don Giovanni's neck for be- ing stupd end to leave her. Carol Vaness as Donna Ana, Benoit Boutet as Don Ottavio, John Avey as Masetto and Jeffrey Wells as the Comrnendatore all impress. We can say little more than that the cast achieves a uniform ex- cellence as singers. Don Giovanni is always enjoyable: Don Giovanni as presented by the Cana- dian Opera Company is considerably more than rnernorabie. One wishes the same could be said for the second production: Ariane Auf Around and A bou a Your Dining &Entertainment Guide Naxos but one can't and, what's worse, one really doesn't know why. Perhaps we saw it too soon atter see- ing Don Giovanni. Who knows? We know only that, despite its relative brevity - as is the case with most of Richard Strauss' operas we, breathed a sigh of almost relief at its conclusion. The story is well known and soon told. Two troupes of performers, at the caprice of their patron host must perform at the same time on the same stage. One is to per- form the tragedy of Ariadne, the other a light but not slight comedy titled Zerbinetta and Her Lovers. (Note the comparison or similarity between Zerlina and Zerbinatta. ) The potential for high but sophisticated humour is unlimited: the result is un - fulfilling and like a cobbler rather than a soufflE. Imagine a Gilbert and Sullivan troupe emphasiz- ing the music of Arthur Sullivan to the neglect of William Gilbert and you have the idea. Pity. because all of the singers are good but the rich comedic juices of their .roles are not always realiz- ed. The music and the singers are still the all. however, so allow us to comment on as many as space will permit while saying in advance that all are deserving of praise. Jan Rubes in the largely recitative role of the ma- jordomo was impressive as always and one delighted in his tightrope walk between the commandant and the pooftah• Judy Forst - sorry, Judith - as the composer of Ariadne acted nicely in the male role but it was her simply marvellous mezzo- soprano that carried the evening. For our money, and we're not talking loony dollars, she is one of North America's most exciting singers. More of her, please. Soprano Elizabeth Con- nell,sang beautifully as the Prima Donna; Ariadne but, and it wasn't her fault, was overshadowed by the spritely Tracy Dahl as Zer- binetta. Hers is a new voice to us but we hope to hear it more and more. There is a bell -like clarity to it that makes one remember lily Pons at her peak. She is a Ione little actress too. Oh, you beautiful Dahl! Noteworthy, visually and musically, were Mary Anne Barcellona, Gabrielle Prata and Kathleen Brett as Ariadne's attendants. It's a sumptuous produc- tion that even countenances a dens ex gratia and the orchestra under young Christian Badea. wonderfully hush. This is the final new pro- duction by outgoing Ar- tistic Director Loth Man- soni and one applauds his courage in presenting it in tandem with Don Giovanni. By itself, it's a wondrous work: seen two evenings after Mozart however, it pales. Pity. Hell. we look forward to seeing it again .. but not so close to Don G. ON STAGE: Confederation and Riel is the fourth or so instalment in Michael Hollingsworth's proposed twelve part epic, The History of the Village of the Small Huts. Each part is intended to be played in a different style. Confederation and Riel is presented as Victorian Melodrama. Well, that looks Rood in print Met we suggest it's more accurate- ly described as a series of vaudevilles in the truest sense of the word. It's genuinely funny but at the same time as it makes one laugh it also causes choking outrage over the venality of our country's founding fathers. One has alway known that MacDonald, was a toss pot (with good reason) . Cartier a libertine, Riel a religious fanatic and Du- mont a misguided Li'l Abner in furs. To see them presented as Saturday morning television characters is unnerving. One laughs but in the em- barrassed manner of one listening to a dirty joke that one would punish a child for telling. The production values are excellent and the writing clever almost to a fault. It's a good show and one which we recommend highly. Just be prepared for a helluvalot of ir- reverence! Confederation & Rid is presented by Video Cabaret International and the Canadian Stage Com- pany at 26 Berkeley St., the former Toronto Free Theatre. We have space now only to mention the excellent cast . . John Blackwood. Janet Burke. Tom Butler ( a red nosed clown of a MacDonald), Arturo Fresolone. Graham Greene, Eric Keenleyside, Derek KeurVorst. Roger NicKeen, Robert Nasmith, Mano Romano and Bruce Vavrma. A hearty "well done" to all. ON SCREEN: Stand and Deliver is a tight, true story from Warners about the dif- ficulties of Hispanics in Lob Angeles in trying to make people realize they are not shiftless and sub -normal in :intelligence. As one who had much difficulty with calculus (we weren't allow- ed to remove our shoes to count over 10) we could very much warm to the story. Lou Diamond Phillips proves that his perfor- mance in La Bamba was no mere flash pannery and Edward James Olmos pro- ves there is indeed life beyond Miami Vice. Ask Don Johnson. He's finding it with Barbra Streisand. MEDIA NEWS: Popular Mary -Ellen Bozic has left Ontario Place and is now Promo- tion Director at CHUM - FM. Nice goin' Mary -Ellen.

Ed Fulton Minister of Transpoltabon and Ctlmmunkatiotls MPP Scarborough East Education Funding Given Boost Four education initiatives promised during the election campaign and confirmed in the Speech from the Throne will be implemented over the next three years, Education Minister Chris Ward has announced. The first initiative's objective is to reduce class sizes in Grades one and two to a target pupil -teacher ratio of 20 to one. Under the three-year plan, Grade one and two class sizes will be reduced to an average of 24.6 pupils per teacher in September of this eyar; 22 pupils per teacher in September, 1989: and 20 pupils per teacher in September. 1990. "Smaller classes benefit teachers, pupils and parents. They provide teachers with more opportunity to interact with and give individual attention to children," Mr. Ward explained. As a result of a second initiative, over $16 million will be spent this year in order to assist elementary and secondary schools in providing students with newer and higher quality textbooks. Six million dollars will be designated in 1968 to help school boards to purchase such learning materials as maps. storybooks, posters, and reference works, as a result of a third education initiative. The final initiative, which provides $13 million over a three-year period assists school boards in buying science teaching aids and facilities, laboratory equipment and sup- plies. and learning materials other than textbooks. An additional $13.4 million is targeted to enable school boards to purchase computer hardware and software. "Each of these steps is a vital elernent in this govern- ment's agenda to equip our schools to provide our dtikhen with education of the highest quality, paralleled in no other jurisdiction." Mr. Ward concluded. Human Rights Code Strengthened For Disabled Individuals On April la, 1908 three important human rights amend - merits dealing with access provisions will be proclaimed. Minister of Citizenship and Minister responsible for the Human Rights Commission Gerry Phillips has announced. The amendments will ensure that the special needs of persons with physical disabilities will be reasonably ac- conunodated by employers, landlords and others who pro- vide goods and services to the public. "These amendments represent a significant step forward in our efforts to promote equal access, particularly for members of the disabled community,- Mr. Phillips said. The proclamation will celebrate the third anniversary of the coming into force of the equality rights provisions of the Canadian Quarter of Rights and Freedom. Wed.

With mountains that soar to 7,000 feet, cascading waterfalls, tropical rain forests, and white sand beaches. Jamaica's scenic variety provides a glorious backdrop for nearly 3,000 varieties of flowering plants - In the heyday of the British Empire, flowering and fruit trees were brought from Asia, the Pacific and Africa: evergreens from Canada, roses and nasturtiums from England. The bread- fruit was sent from Tahiti. There are varieties of or- chids, bromeliads and ferns in Jamaica that are native to nowhere else, and varieties of fruit like the Bombay mango that don't seem to flourish anywhere else in the hemisphere. Jamaica's tropical foliage comes in fascinating forms. For those travelling from Kingston to Ocho Rios, Fern Gully is an enchan- ting attraction. A former river bed, it is now a road that winds and twists for almost three miles through a gorge, under a thick canopy of foliage and ferns. Jamaica hosts a greater variety of ferns than almost any other country in the world ( 550 species are native). Ferns are found everywhere on the island and range from the 30 -foot tall Fern Tree to a lacy fern which has leaves only one cell thick. Visitors looking for more formal, manicured Ned Hanlan Starts On May 21 Discover the fascinating history of Toronto Harbour by climbing aboard the steam tugboat "Ned Hanlan". The Toronto Historical Board will open the tug for the season, May 21 - Oct. 8th, at the Marine Museum of Upper Canada. At 2 p.m. on May 21, 22 and 23, visitors are also in- vited to attend the screen- ing of Criterion Pictures 1933 comedy adventure film "Tug Boat Annie", which was shot in Toronto Harbour and stars the "Ned Hanlan". Built in 1932 and named after Canada's world- famous champion oarsman, the "Ned Hanlan" broke ice, towed vessels, and transported passengers to the Islands until 1965. Now in dry dock at the Marine Museum, the tug offers visitors a unique opportunity to explore the wheel house and engine room. and learn first hand about the operation of a steam vessel. The Marine Museum is located in Exhibition Place. Open Monday to Saturday 9:30 to 5 p.m. and Sunday and Victoria Day 12 Poon to 5 p.m. Admission to the Marine Museum, the Ned Hanlan and the film screenings, May 21, 22 and 23 is $3 for adults, $1.50 for seniors and children. gardens will also delight in Jamaica's variety.

Ferns and water plants are cultivated in the sunken gardens, while a magnifi- cent collection of orchids and hanging creepers grow in the wild garden. Located on a hill overlooking the resort town of Ocho Rios, Shaw Park Gardens, a botanical garden and natural retreat, offers magnificent views of the town and the coast. The grounds include cascading streams and beautiful lanes which give visitors the opportunity to wander miles of paths and see a variety of Jamaica's flowers, fruits and spices. The giant banyan tree in the centre of the Gardens dwarfs the luxury hotels that stretch along the beach. The Gardens of Carinosa. Jamaica's newest natural attraction, are located a few minutes from the heart of Ocho Rios. Cannosa's many gardens are situated in a natural river gorge with several waterfalls and rain forest aflame with plant life. The grounds feature a formal garden walk with 200 varieties of colourful orchids, a profu- sion of multi -colour hibiscus plants and over 30 different types of ferns. Cacti, lilies and other ra- diant flowers flourish in Carinosa's exquisitely designed landscape.

Speaking To You Scott Fennell M.P. Ontario Riding A,. The Secretary of State of Canada, the Honourable David Crombie, has just announced the focus for this year's Canada Day. For 1968, the emphasis of Canada Day will be on the celebration of our country and the sharing of pride that each and every one of us have in being a Canadian. As I am sure you all know•, the celebration of Canada Day is a unique opportunity for all of us to become involved in expressing our pride in being Canadian and in belonging to this great land. The Secretary of State of Canada has prepared a Canada Queen's Park Report from Norah Stoner MPP Durham West A study conducted for the province has concluded that many residents in nursing homes and homes for the aged might be more appropriately served elsewhere with the development of a broader range of community-based, long- term care options. The results of the study were recently announced by the Minister of Community and Social Services, John Sweeney and Mavis Wilson, Minister for Senior Citizens' Affairs. The study, done by consultants Price - Waterhouse Medicus, measured the direct nursing and personal care required by close to 2,300 residents in a representative sample of nursing homes and homes for the aged across Ontario. the study is one of a number of recent initiatives by the Office for Senior Citizens' Affairs as part of the govern- ment's commitment to revise and rationalize the province's extended -care program to meet current and future needs. Mrs. Wilson said, "This study answers a number of im- portant questions around the care requirements of residents. The findings and the valuable advise of the Ad- visory Committee on Extended Care will assist in the development of draft extended -care legislation by March, 1989." Among the study's findings are: more than half the residents are 85 and over; almost 73 percent are women; 17 percent of the total sample of residents need at least three hours direct care per day; 55 percent require less than 90 minutes of care per day and the remaining 28 percent re- quire between 90 minutes and 3 hours of care per day. •"lire study findings confirm the direction in which my ministry has been moving in the expansion of community - care alternatives," Mr. Sweeney said. He noted that the Commumty and Social Services Ministry has committed $100 million over the next five years for homes for the aged capital redevelopment. "In keeping with our policy to provide alternatives to in- stitutional care. the ministry will assist homes for the aged and community groups to test smaller community-based, long-term. care options such as supported apartment living and group home settings," Mr. Sweeney said. Mrs. Wilson said, "The data reinforces our government's Policy to expand com urnity-0ased services so seniors can remain in the community and to develop appropriate residential -care alternatives. As the cornrnunity-based system expands. fewer people with light -care requirements will enter extended -care facilities. Seniors and their families will have a broader airy of choices," According to media stories following release of the report, the United Senior Citizens of Ontario (the largest seniors' group in the province) applauded the study. The Office for Senior Citizens' Affairs is continuing with the next phase of the rationalisation of extended care. That phase is a cost study of the programming and financial aspects of nursing homes and homes for the aged. NORAH'S NOTES: It was my pleasure to attend a news conference at Durham College recently at which the Minister of Colleges and Universities, Lyn McLeod, announced the Ontario Government is providing the college with a capital grant of $5 million dollars for expansion of its main campus in Oshawa. The major expansion, to be completed by September of 1969, will help the college meet substantial enrolment in- creases resulting from the growth in Durham Region's population. The college is also receiving about $286,000 from the pro- %ince for renovation, alteration and repair projects. •......................... Day Information Kit to assist you and your friends in preparing for this year's Canada Day celebrations. The kit contains an application form and information cards, which will be available through my office located at 52 Church Street, Pickering Village, Ajax, Ontario, or Ontario's pro- vincial territorial Canada Day Committee Office located at 25 St. Clair Avenue East, Toronto, Ontario, M4T 1M2. Also, as in previous years, items such as buttons, lapel pins, hand flags, posters, red and white balloons with the Canada Day logo, etc. are available through the Canada Day Commit- tee, in limited quantities. This year, the Department of the Secretary of State is in- troducing a new program designed to help Canadian students learn more about young people in other provinces and territories and, in the process, share a fun and in- teresting experience in the celebration of Canada Day. The idea is called "Canada Day Pen Friends". Classrooms in all provinces are invited to have a twin in another region of the country. Students will correspond with their twin class and share their ideas for celebrating Canada Day and much more. The application form for this program can be found in the Canada Day kit. Twinning cities can be as much fun as it is a learning ex- perience. A good example for this can be found right here in the Durham Region. The Town of Whitby and the City of Longueuil, Quebec, will be celebrating together the 20th an- niversary of the twinning of these two municipalities on June 17, 1968. Each year one of the municipalities hosts the other and prepares a program incorporating cultural ex- changes, visits to historical buildings etc. Through these 20 years many long lasting friendships have been made. I encourage you to participate in this year's Canada Day activities, and the Canada Day Pen Friends Program. The sooner you mail your form in the faster you and your classroom will be matched with another city!
