Mayor To Break Corporate Centre Ground May 13th M.P.P., Durham Weal, and Bill Ballinger, M.P.P., Durham -York announced today on behalf of Educa- tion Minister Oris Ward. The Durham Board of Education has received allocations for three pro- Jetts, valued at more than $14,700,000, and the Durham Region Roman Catholic Separate School Board, s projects, valued at about 135,500,000. The Durham Board will build three new elementary arhools, in the Costain, K%bbneh and Poet Perry communities. The Durham Region Roman Catholic Separate School Board has been given allocations for new elementary schools at Ajax -Harwood, Uxbridge and West Lynde com- munities, and for addi- tional space at Father J. Vanni and St. Anthony Daniel elementary schools. Also allocated is a new high school to be shatid by the French and ErAld communities. Each of the new schools for both boards wzll be provided with a child cart centre.

Usually these entrepreneurs are selling flowers, much to the annoyance of local florists who see these wayside types as cheating on the system. Now if you are not in business you won't realize that each and every small business pays a tax called business tax, which is about 50% of the property taxes for the property in which the business is located. The anger that arises is that these fly-by-night entrepreneurs pay no taxes and use scally -owned roadsides to dispense their wares and pro - buy never report their income so that they avoid another tax by government. We believe that governments at all levels should do something about this before it becomes an issue. Perhaps a tax to use the public's property would be one way. Or they could be arrested and fined for violating a number of local bylaw's. In any event we believe that small businesses should be protected from those who are cheating on the system. Canadians Are Happy Canadians are a happy bunch- According to Statistics Canada's General Social Survey, less than one adult Calla - than in tvae:tty reported being somewhat unhappy. Those groups most likely to report unhappiness are the elderly. widowed. separated divorced and the unemployed. Statistics Canada's General Social Survey tells tis that ac- tive Canadians describe themselves as being happier than their sedentary counterparts. Over 50 percent of those coo- sides active reported themselves as being very happy, compared to 43 percent of those in the sedentary category. Active Canadians also tend to adopt other good lifestyle practices such as avoidance of both smokieg and heavy drinking. In fact. nearly 30 percent of all adult Canadians are active enough to anticipate health benefits which may Include additional years of life. Seniors who have marry social activities consider themselves as being happier and healthier than those with few activities. Data from Statistics Canada's General Social Survey also tells us that going to church Is still a relatively popular activity among seniors. In fact, nearly three Quarters of seniors is Quebec and two tbirds of those in the Atlantic region go to church at least more a month compared to less than one tb" in British Columbia. The most popular activities in other regions are going to movies. to restaurants or to sporting events. Nearly 40 per cent of Canal m years of age and older can be classified as having excessive weight. According to Statistics Canada's General Social Survey, seven percent of Canadians are classified as underweight, 53 percent as ac- ceptable, 31 percent as overweight, and eight percent as obese. Women are more likely to be either underweight or obese than are men. Furthermore, Canadians who are underweight, obese. or who smoke are more likely to report a range of health problems than are those who are within r.:oamatende ' weight limits and are non-smokers. Among the five chronic health conations on which Statistics Canada's General Social Survey collected infor- malion, arthritis rbeurnatism is the most prevalent_ More than one Canadian in five reported this condition and women are one half more likely to report this condition as are nen. Smokers, farmer drinkers, the sedentary and those With excessive weight are also munch more likely to have one or more chronic onic canditians than those not exposed to these risks.

Letter To The Editor Canada's Own "Botha" Why is the Canadian government malting such a big fuss about the South African government when we have a similar situation here in Canada with Quebec and the active help of Mulroney and his francophone cabinet members do- ing everything that they can to make Canada into a fran- cophone State? Brian "Botha" Mulroney who is elected from a Quebec riding, has tried to push the francophone cause in every province, under the guise of bilingualism, despite the fact that only a small number live outside of Quebec and his own base, -Province of Quebec, through Bill 101, has declared that Quebec is a unilingual French speaking province. The federal government never said a word against this act, even though they were trying to make all other provinces bilingual. Only 24% of Canadians are francophones and nearly all of these live in Quebec. Billions has been spent trying to promote the French language in Canada. At least 8 billion was put into the govenment's special training progam to learn French. He's trying to make 76% of our population learn the same language as less than a quarter speak now. Why? English is the major business language of the world today. Bill C72, a bill to revamp the "Official Languages Act" has the audacity to contain such items as, "Recognition of the primacy of the official languages act over all other Federal laws". That means a francophone promotion law is more important than the contents of all our laws. "'Ibe right of public servants to work in their own language and the equal participation of both language groups in the public service." That's a joke, they have been replacing English speaking workers with francophones in every department for some time novo. "All Federal judges will have to be fluently bilingual." That means they will be getting rid of our good English speaking judges as fast as they can regardless of their abili- ty and knowledge and appointing francophones- "All criminal counts across Canada will require bilingual judges - prosecutors - clerics - juries. " This ought to really botch up the legal services of the courts. If you took a fran- eophone to court he would probably have to import fran- coFl- ones for jury duty to get enough. It would limit what lawyer you could hire as being able to speak French fluent- ly would become more important than ability as a lawyer. It is the i tention to eliminate translations and interpreters. The government is authorized to infiltrate our provinces, municipalities, business, labour and volunteer organiza- tions with its b uidiious bilingual policy. The Official Languages Commissioner becomes in- mmigator, policeman, prosecut:x, witness and judge as and when be chooses. He is above the law and is misnurne from prosecution. He can be guilty of libel and slander and a cib=m has no recourse against him. This is not an elected office but appointed by the government. To do this job they will get the meanest francophone they can fund. The one now holding this office could comply. It's called Official Languages Commissioner but none to date have ever done anything but promote the PTemch language, English is ig- nored Court actions can be instituted for breaches of the Act. The punitive powers of the Federal Courts in complaints Act are unrestricted.The penalty � You thought Canada was a Democracy, it won't be for long unless we go after our federal representative and the government to dump this Bill CM reject the Meech Lake Accord, Repeal the Official Langauges Act and in Ontario get rid of Bill R.

May % jimo Sill Watt's Worlds PROPOSED: "Everything old is new again." OPPOSED: Is it? And if so, is that necessarily good? ON STAGE 1: Tennessee Williams' play Sweet Bird of Youth is currently playing at the Royal Alex. It was first presented in 1959. Your observer didn't think much of it then and notwithstan- ding some more or less judicious cuts in the pre- sent version doesn't think much of it now. Tennessee Williams is a much over rated playwrite Menagerie- The Class is the only good thingvrr wrote - and we suspect that the pseudo -cult interest in his works exists because many are reluctant to stand up and be counted among those who see little of value in them. It's rather like daring to disapprove of Schoenberg's "music". Anyway, this Williamstown Theatre Festival Production gives it the college try and with some good performances almost makes it wor- thwhile. Joanne Woodward is the aging motion picture ac- tress initially frightened of but eventually coming to terms with the loss of her youth. It's a role that can be presented bravura but Miss Woodward desists and offers a workmanlike per- formance that in its own way, does more for the character in the role than it deserves. It's an excellent piece of acting and we suspect that it owes more to Miss Wood - ward's insight than to the disappointing - to be Around and A bou Your Dining &Entertainment Guide charitable - direction of Nikos Psacharopoulos. (Migawd, the blocking!) Her temporary lover, Chance Wayne, is played by Terry Kinney. We wager that, lacking star privilege, he submitted or had to submit to direction and instead of giving us the opportunistic stud that the play intends, presents merely a weak dreamer. Chance Wayne as written is a more or less likeable rogue. As played here, one feels only sympathy. Ac- tually, he's boring. His sweetheart Heaven- ly's role has been rewritten FAIRVIEW LIBRARY THEATRE 35 FaiNw^ Mau DJ•rve.

May 4, ISM Province Allocates $20 Million To Metro Separate School Board For 2 Schools The Ontario government has allocated to the Metropolitan Separate School Board funds which will generate capital pro- jects valued at more than $20 million. This announcement was made by Citizenship Minister Gerry Phillips, MPP Scarborough Agin- court, Transportation Minister Ed Fulton, MPP Scarborough East, Cindy Nicholas, MPP Scar- boroto Centre, on behalf of Education Minister Chris Ward. The allocations are for the new $16,600,000 Mary Ward Secondary School and $3,900,000 addition to St. Brendan School.

ON YOUR TOES: The National Ballet's Spring season at The O'Keefe inchndes an even- ing of three one act ballets. Two are company premieres; none are new. The rust offering of the evening is Balanchine's The Four Temperaments. One isn't sure whether Agnes DeMille infhwnced Mr. Balancnme or vice ver- sa but there is un- mistakable evidence of Miss DeM in The Four Temperaments, mostly in the split leg movements. Hindemith's music is always interesting and usually one can say the same about Balamchirhe's choreography. However, the combination of the two in this work result in little more than what appears to be a Miss America pageant in 1946. Remember the back bathing suits - Given the title, one might expect emotion from the dancers; given the in- tricacy of the choreography it is difficult to deliver. Kim Iightheart and Ray - Smith were suitably sanguinic and Jeremy Ran- som was vitally melan- cholic but the usually reliable JohnAlleyne was anything but phlegmatic and Gizella Witkowsky was far from choleric. The intended set piece of the evening is the company premiere of Glen Tetley's Voluntaries to the music of Poulenc's Concerto for Organ, Strings and Percus- sion. ( Every production of The Phantom of the Opera has used it.) It's a plotless work, almost abstract, "conceiv- ed as a linked series of voluntaries". That it in- deed is but, as a work is it tip to much? We believe so. The Bournonville in- fluence is clearly evident and Rex Harrington, Owen Montague and John Alleyne were given much opportunity to excel. They did. Gindla Witkowsky and Kimberley Glassco were also fine but it seemed to us that their roles were almost subservient to those of the males. Thnight atubence e first with enthusiasm but rather move for the per- formers than the work itself. Call it fudging on our part but we'll appreciate Gather viewings of Volun- tries before offering a more detailed and possibly meaningful critique. The final work is Sir Kenneth Macl+tillan's Sang of the Earth. This, too, is a com- pany praemu re. It is set to the music of Mahler which in turn was set to the Chinese poems of Li -Tai -Po and others translated into German by Hata Bethge. It sounds complicated and it is. So is the ballet. Perhaps confusing is a better ward Certainly it conveys more clarity in an over view of man's reason for being. An unexpected pleasure for the opening night au- dience was the appearance iA one of the two singing roles of Maureen For- rester. Her singing was, as always superb; so superb indeed that it might have caused your observer to miss what was intended of value in the ballet. There can be no question that the choreography is in- tricate and filled with a measure of grace but we found it callusing. In our own defence we offer that the cast is largish and there is much activity on stage, so much indeed that con- centration on individual ex- cellence is difficult. There is an abundance, possibly an over abun- dance of riches in Song of the Earth. It too, tike Voluntaries requires repeat viewing and we look forward to that felicity.

The Scarborough Board has used its historical seal, below, as a logo since it was adopted in 1954, and it will continue to be used where appropriate. It is comprised of a sheaf of wheat, representing Scarborough's agricultural heritage; a lamp of learning, which represents the wisdom one gains from the education system; and the quill and ink, representing the ability to relate this knowledge to others. What is needed now is a visual symbol of the Board's contemporary image that will project its identity to the world. The new Board logo will be applied to articles such as Board stationery, publications, clothing and vehicles. Guidelines: • Submissions should be designed in a way that allows for reproduction in two colours, as well as black and white. Artwork should be done on white paper, and should include a black and white version. • What is required is a visual interpretation of the Board's identity, be it a wordmark or a symbol. This design may or may not incorporate the Board's full title --Scarborough Board of Education- -or its title in abbreviated form -SBE. Neither are essential to the design as new typography for the Board will be developed separately. • Art preferably should be submitted mounted on board --cardboard, art board, or illustration board. • Artwork submitted should not measure more than 22" x 16". All artwork becomes the property of the Scarborough Board. • Only students and staff of the Scarborough Board, and Scarborough public school taxpayers are eligible to enter. • The Board reserves the right to use only a portion, or none of the winning entry. • The winning entry will receive a prize of $100 and a plaque. • Five honourable mentions will receive prizes of $50. • A selection of entries will be displayed at the Scarborough CividEducation Centre at a date to be announced. • Entries should include a name, address, and telephone number. Students and staff also should include their school or department. This information should be on the reverse of the artwork as well as on a separate piece of paper. • The deadline for submissions is Wednesday, June 15, 1988 at 4:30 p.m..

Ltraveli- Ski Yugoslavia by Andrey Parkiss "Why Yugoslavia?" everyone asked when we told them where we were going for our ski holiday this year. Our immediate reply was that the price was right. After spending ten days in Yugoslavia in March v e can say now that not only is the price right, but the peo. ple are friendly, the skiing is good, and the experience was an interesting one. We flew from Toronto to Belgrade via JAT Yugoslavia Airlines and found the flight very plea- sant due in large part to the friendly crew. We touched down at Mimbel Airport for about 45 minutes to pick up a few passengers, then flew direct to Zagreb where some passengers disem- barked and others boarded the aircraft for the fifty minute flight to Belgrade. A Yugototr rep met us immediately upon our ar- rival and informed us that a car was waiting to take us to our hotel - the Metropol. Our driver could speak some English and the 20 minute drive weal quickly as he pointed out places of interest along the route. We settled into our room, which overlooked a lovely park and beyond the Danube River. then went for a long walk to explore the city. We visited the old part with its cobblestone streets, stopped for a capucbino and watched the people. We enjoyed the old world charm of the 14-1 Hotel with its orate col- umns, wood panelling, marble foots and mental carpets. The immerse din- ing room with its huge chandeliers and a three - chamber orchestra playing "The Blue Danube" and •'The Vienese Waltz" while guests dined, made one fed like waltz- ing. One could easily see why the Metropol was once one of Yugoslavia's finest hotels.

The six hour bus trip was comfortable and in- teresting and gave us a change to see some of the countryside. Again there gufluent ide on the bus who spoke English and she was only too happy to answer any questions. Except for one 30 -minute stop along the way the trip was uneventful until we reached the mountains and found ourselves lined up behind cars putting on chains to get tip the nxxxi- tain roads. On arrival at otr Hotd, The Karavan, Yugotour reps greeted us and inform- ed us that they would be at a desk in the hotel every day to answer any gnes- bons. We settled into our room which was comfortable, clean, warm and had a queen sine bed plus a single bed (great for spreading out ski clothes), a private bathroom with shower and plenty of bot water. Breakfast and dinner were served in the hotel dining room downstairs and all meals were cafeteria style. There was always plenty to et and the food for the most part was adequate but not outstanding. Breakfast was served from 7 to 9 a.m. and dimer from S to 7 p.m. which was a little early for our liking_ We found the food greasy, but the locals thought it was fabulous. Yugoslavian cuisine is a hodgepodge of central European, Balkan and Mediterranean foods with a marked '!latish flavour. They like their meat highly spiced with hot peppers, garlic and onions. Yugosolavians are not finicky eaters and copious heavy food is the order of the day. One down to earth dish that yielded special pleasure was a huge black pot of white beans baked with onions, garlic and hot peppers cooked over an open fire in an eating spot on the mountain - a popular place for lunch. Dessert was usually an apple, but everyone went to the Aperitif Bar after din- ner for a cape c Nino or Turkish coffee and Sacher torte or baklava. Smoking is not allowed in the dining rooms but the bars reeked of cigaret smoke - everyone smokes in Yugoslavia where cigarettes can be purchased for as little as 25t a pack. Food and drink is very in- expensive - we paid about x2.50 for two capuchins and two desserts ( about 2,250 dinars). Kapaonik is the new snow metropolis of Yugoslavia and the skiing on Serbia's highest moun- tain, 2.WD metres up, is easy. The hills are perfect for beginners and in- termediate skiers but not too challenging for advanc- ed skiers. Instruction is available for all level of skiers. The resort consists of 20 cableways (lifts are just $10 a day), fifty kilometres of alpine and Nordic ski rums, five hotels, an array of mountain chalets and lodges and apartments. Despite the active exer- cise of the day, when night falls nobody goes to sleep. The temptations are hard to resist: gastronomic delights, music, cabarets, fashion shows, jambwm and dancing every night. As well there are all types of new eating places - an English pub, Viennese cake shop, Italian pizzeria, snack bars in the snow, some with terraces where you can sumbathe - Ko- poanik is called "surety peaks" because it usually gets as much sun as you could wish for. Unfor- tunately the week we were there it snowed every day so while there was plenty of snow for skiing, there was no sun for sunbathing, and sometimes, the snow was so heavy that visibility at the top of the mountain was poor. But nobody guarantees weather when one books a holiday! While Yugotours, Canada's only tour operator to Yugoslavia cer- tainly belped to make our holiday worry -free, much credit goes to our efficient and helpful travel agent, Brenda Hanson, the manager of Universal Travel on Simcoe St. who worked hard to ensure that all travel arrangements and transportation re- quirements in Yugoslavia went smoothly.

Promoting Local Spring Fishing A dedicated group of anglers is cooperating with the Ministry of Natural Resources in promoting local spring fishing. Trout and salmon fishing has become a popular stan- mer and fall activity off the shores of Scarborough, Pickering, Whitby and Oshawa. The question is: Whore are those fish during the spring Marion Daniels, a Fisheries Biologist at the Maple office of Natural Resources explains, "When trout and salmon fishing began in Lake On- tario in the early IVQs. nobody really knew where or when to fish. or what techniques would prove successful. The art of cat- ching these fish has since developed by trial and er- ror and great perseverance by anglers-" The idea of tins program is to attract as many anglers as possible to help develop a metbodology for spring fishing in this area. Activities will be based from three ports an the last four weekends in April. There will be a port coor- dinator at Bluffer's Park in Scarborough. Whitby Har- bour and Oshawa Harbotr. Anglers may lick up a data sheet from the coordinator in their area. Some of the information to be collected will be loca- tion, water depth, type of lure and species caught. When a completed sheet is turned in, that angler will be eligible for a draw prize donated by the Ontario Charter Boat Association. The real benefit to the participating anglers will be a summary of the survey results. This will give them the inside track an how and where to catch fish close to home in the Wig. Marion Daniels says. '-Ibe Ministry of Natural Resources has been stock- ing rainbow and brown trout in these areas for several years now. The wider ranging Pacific salmon should also be pre- sent.

Grant, a fames bunker, started his livestock m a chemical free diet soon atter he himvdf was put an eine. Grant got the idea for beer fed beef from the Japanese Kobe method of cattle ran, ing. Q. My Grandmother always said that cards were the "tool of the devil". Where did this coaxes from? LD. A. Most likely this is another variation of the saying, ,the devil's picture books", which Massacbrsetts Bay Pilgrims used to describe playing cards. Cards and dice were banish- ed as forms of gambling The Puritans did not want to pro- fane rofane the solemn practice of emoting lots, a way of determin- ing ete min-ing God's will eiescribed in the Old testament. The Pilgrims were not successful in keeping cards, die, or other evil . Playiag cards have evolved over the centuries to their present form. For example, before the 19th century, cards were made with blank, white bre. Since paper was scarce m Colonial society, the backs were often used for other pur poses. In the 1700's they were used as written invitations to teas, etc., and as visiting cards. International President Charles C.

Speaking To You Scott Fennel M.P. Ontuio Riding I was thrilled by the recent announcement that Canada will be participatittg in the United States -led international Space Station. In 1984, President Reagan directed NASA to develop a permattently-manned Space Station and formally invited friends and allies to join the United States in its develop meat and share in its benefits. In 1985, Prime Minister Brian Mulroney accepted his invitation. Along with the United States and Canada, the European Space Agency representing 13 Etwopean countries, and Japan are cur- rently involved in the project. The Space Station is a ilnique, rmdti-use facility in low - Earth orbit, comprising both manned and tamanned elements which include: a permanently -manned base con- taining elements provided by all partners; unmanned plat- forms in near -polar orbit; a man -tended laboratory; and grand dements to support the operation and utiilization of the elements in orbit. The Space Station will enable users to observe the earth and the universe and will be a permanently -manned civil station used for peaceful pur- poses, in accordance with international law. Canada's contribution to the largest international technology development project ever undertaken is the Mobile Servicing System (MSS). The MSS's role will be vital in assembling and maintaining the Space Station and its instntments, as well as servicing and manipulating satellites and visitirtg spacecraft, and in berthing, loading and unloading the orbiter when it visits the Space Station and the ground dements necessary to support this system. The Mobile Servicing System will ride aboard Space Station an a movable base called a Mobile Transporter provided by the United States. The Space Station w dl take three years to assemble and will continue to operate for 30 years. Canada will be a user and operator of the statim throughout this period, and Canadian astronauts will be part of the Space Station crew. It is estimated that more than $5 billion and 80.000 persow years of employment will be realized m Canada over the next 15 years from this project. Our participation in this project provides the opportunity for Canadians in industry, governments and uoivasitm to use the statim to advance their scientific, technological and commercial izxeests, and is one of the major initiatives in our long-term stmtegy to apply technology and imovatim in sxstaimng Canada's future economic growth and job creation.
