Auxiliary President, Shirley Rowland, said that the recent decision to donate the money was unanimous. There was no discussion when it was pro- posed - "There was a tremen- dous response to the idea of the donation," Rowland commented. "There wasn't any question about fulfill- ing the $250,000 because they are a dedicated group of volunteers and are look- ing forward to the much needed expansion." The Ajax & Pickering icz691 19" son'a PRINTING AND General Hospital's Aux- iliary have been a tremen- dous help to the hospital over the years.

Dr. David Gove, Family Division Chairman of the campaign said that the donation was an indication "of the auxiliary's continu- ing commitment to the Ajax and Pickering General Hospital and the community which it provide a safe crossing for the people in that develop- ment to the bus stop on the north side of Bayly St. 4 -Way Stop Councillor Coban moved that a by-law be prepared to establish a four-way stop at the intersection of Dixie Rd., Colonial St. and Maple Ridge Dr. Objects To Dbposai Site Pickering Cotmcil ob- jects to the refuse disposal site being considered in the north eastern portion of the City of Scarboragh which abuts the western boun- dary of the Town of Picker- in6- Because the proximity of this proposed site may have an envinomaeatal af- fect on the Rouge River System and it may have a negative iatpact on the residents of the Town of Pickering, Councillor Brenner has moved that the City of Scarborough, Metropolitan Toronto, the Xmistry of the Environ- ment and Norah Stoner, MPP, be notified of this ob- jection- Gardening Group Yard Sale The Pickering Hor- tieottme Society's may 24th meeting will take the form of a workshop for everyone to make a hang- ing basket or planter to take home.

Opinion a page for expression for you and us Election Campaigning by Bob Watson Last Sunday Pauline Browes, MP for Scarborough Cen- tre, held a champagne brunch with guest speaker the Hon. Gerry Weiner, and effectively announced the start of her campaign for the next federal election. Pauline has begun to put signs on lawns and has her committee, now that she has been re -nominated to be the PC candidate in that riding, working towards the big day. Of course, the Prime Minister hasn't called an election day yet but most observers would guess September or Oc- tober. This next federal election, in our opinion, will be won by the individuals running for election and not by political par- ties as such, and certainly not by the leaders of our three political parties. If it is one thing a majority of Canadian voters agree on, it is that none of these parties are function- ing like political parties ought to do. Mulroney still hasn't grasped the fact that a deep voice and important statements are not 'fiat we voters want. John Turner is hanging on to leadership in a party that is heavily in debt and it will take a lot of work on his members' part to get the money into the coffers which are needed. Ed Broadbent even believes that his party will win the next election, which we believe is the dream of the year in the political arena. No. the next federal election will be determined by how well each candidate communicates to the voters in his or ber riding. It would be nice to have at least one party which campaigns on issues without offering to NO our votes with our own tax dollars' Changing Your Name? Ontario Consumer Minister William Wrye has announced that people "electing" to legally change their name upon marriage will receive a dual -name birth certificate. con- taining both their original birth name and their new sur- name. The new certificate should be available by the Stan - mer. Ontario's Change of Name Act has been in effect for just over a year and provides that upon marriage• if any person wishes to formally change their name in law and have a revised birth certif tate to prove it (if born in Ontario i, they may elect to do so through the Change of Name Act. Workplace Literacy Programs Two Ministn• of Skills Development grants. totalling nearly $110.000 have been r eceived by the Labour Council of Metropolitan Toronto to establish literacy programs for workers in industries adapting to new technologies. Murad VeWn. MPP, Dan Mills. speaking on behalf of Alvin Curl- ing. Minister of Skills Development. noted that the Labour Council had previously received a grant of $237,730 for English in the Workplace training. The grants were made through the ministry's Ontario Basic Skills in the Workplace program. Through this pro- gram. employers. employer associations, unions and employee organizations an sponsor basic skills training either at the place of employment or nearby location. Courses are free to workers and the ministry funds up to loo percent of the sponsor's direct project costs. Bob Rae's Posturing Dear Sir Q. What's worse than the shafting of us taxpayers in the re- cent Ontario Liberal budget" A. The hypocritical posturing by NDP leader Bob Rae. Rae, with a straight face, protests that the Liberals' tax hikes "gouge" taxpayers. What cynicism' Rae knows that the .%DP, more than any other party, has pushed for more social programs and more government spending. This is paid for by higher taxes and borrowing. Has Rae ever suggested spending less or taxing less" We need spending cuts to make responsible tax cuts possible. That's where the taxpayers' final hope, the PCs. should come in. They don't. No one speaks for us taxpayers. The chilling truth is that the government big enough to give you everything you want is big enough to take everything you have. Yours sincerely.

Report From Parliament from Reg Stackhouse, MP Scarborough West Ta: Reform In contrast to the Ontario Liberal's policy of increasing taxes, Finance Minister Michael Wilson's tax reform will result in lower personal taxes. Eight out of ton taxpayers will pay less taxes, and 850,000 low income Canadians will no longer pay taxes. The tax system will be fairer, with only three brackets and with tax exemptions and most deductions replaced with tax credits that are worth the same amount regardless of the taxpayer's income. There will be a better balanced system, with more revenue corning from high income earners and profitable corporations, and less from lower and middle income workers. A number of irtcentives remain in place to further our na- tional and regional goals. Regional investment tax credits will continue, as will flow-through shares for mining and oil and gas companies. There will be a significant enhancement and extension of the present refundable sales tax credit, which will more than offset the impact of the new sales tax on low-income Canadians. It will be paid on regular basis, and in advance. Canada -Netherlands The annual blossoming of tulips on Parliament Hill reninds Canadians not only of Springs arrival, but also of the longstanding friendship which was cemented between Canada and the Netherlands during the Second World War. The then Crown Princess of the Netherlards came to Canada to escape the Nazi occupation. While in Ottawa she gave birth to a daughter and as a lasting token of gratitude towards the generosity of our nation, sent a gift of tulips which we have been receiving annually ever since. --------------------------------- Give A Gift That Lasts All Year!

Decimal Place, a street in the Port Union Rd. & Fan- fare Ave. area of West Rouge, will be aglow with yellow decorations as residents celebrate the street's 30th Anniversary on Sat. May 28. It is a unique street with a very special closeness among its residents not often found in an urban area in today's society. Street get-togethers are common, whether it is to welcome a new neighbour or say farewell to one who is moving away. The street has a feeding of honesty, thoughtfulness and kindness - that small town feeling where one ge- nuinely cares for one's fellow neighbour. And there are lasting friendships - many former residents have been sent in- vitations and are planning to return for the 30th an- niversary celebrations. of the 19 original buyers of homes in 11%8, seven still reside on Decimal Place. A welcoming ceremony is planned for 11 a.m. when Sherman Scott, who war Reeve of Pickering Township in 1966, will cut a ceremonial ribbon.

May 18, Im Bill Watt's Worlds MEMORABLE: That's surely the only word one can use in describing the First Annual Erik Bruhn Prize Competi- tion. Presented at The O'Keefe, the evening presented eight young dancers from four com- panies in competition, plus a superb pas de deux danc- ed by Natalia Makarova and Kevin McKenzie and a presentation of Glen Tetley's Voluntaries. If one has a single regret about the evening it is that there could be only two winners. All and each of the competitors deserve distinction simply by being selected to compete. En fm, the winners were Rose Gad Poulsen of the Royal Danish Ballet and Errol Pickford of the Royal Ballet. The selection of the former was a bit of a sur- prise; most felt that she might have been surpassed by Vivian Durante, Mr. Piddord's partner, or by Bonnie Moore of the American Ballet Theatre. Around. and About F Your Dining &Entertainment Guide One must remember, however, that the dancers were judged by their peers who are far more knowledgeable than many of us. The judges must be con- cerned and watch for ar- tistry and technique rather than audience response. 1 VVho w1f be 1 Miss Scarborough 1988? 1 1 1 1 i Last Year's J 1 1 i Winners! 1 1 1 1 In the 1987 Miss Scarbor- oughPageant.

M1S 3R3 ' For information call 291.2583 We were unable to attend the International Critics Panel on the Sunday after the competition but we rather imagine that Miss Poulsen's selection was based on the purity of her form. Before passing on to other matters allow us a few observations. Viviana Durante and Errol Pickford of Britain's Royal Ballet are without question the international pairing to watch in the future. Mar- tine Lamy's cause was not well served by her selec- tion of or assignment to the ridiculous Balloon Head solo from Robert Desrosier's Blue Snake. Desrosier is just one step away from charlatanry and Blue Snake not far behind. Clearly, audience response must be con- sidered and if audiences continue to accept the work, well tant pis. It's our feeling however that the National Ballet does not always serve itself well by continuing the piece in its repertoire. After the competition, the black tie audience retired to the lower lounge for the fust cause of din- ner and then on to the main lobby for supper dancing. The food was delicious - quite the tastiest roast beef we've tasted in a month of Sundays and the wines em- minently satisfying. We should also mention the desserts served an the mez- zanine levels. They were sinfully decadent and we cheerfully wallowed in their decandence. Well, maybe that's overstating it but oh my, we most cer- tainly enjoyed the cheesecake with raspberry syrup. And it's really something to watch professional dancers enjoying themselves on the dance floor' We shall long carry in our pleasurable memory, the sight of the aristocratic Co -Artistic Director Lynn Wallis danc- ing the frog. One shouldn't wish one's life away but we find ourself already looking for- ward to next year's com- petition. Well done' IN THE CLI.'BS: Ben Vereen has finally returned to the Imperial Room where he made his first appearance some 13 years ago. We were in the sparse audience then and found him sensational. We were in the full house for his return and found him still sensational. Ben Vereen is probably best described as the com- plete entertainer; he's a good actor/comedian, a fine dancer and an ex- cellent singer. The three full talents are on abundant display during this engage- ment which concludes on Saturday. After an overlong over- ture during which the natives start to become restless - after all, they're there for Ben Vereen, not the orchestra no matter how good it is - he makes his appearance and im- mediately wins the au- dience. He sings a nice mix of standards and newish tunes in a voice that seems to lie somewhere between that of Lou Rawls and Ar- thur Pyrsock.

May 18, 1988 THE NEWS/POST Page 11 Parking Fines Going Up 100 Per Cent by Gay Abbate Parking fines are going up 100 percent to combat the jungle of on -street con- gestion in Scarborough and across Metro Toronto. "Roads are made to move traffic not to park in," said Alderman Mock Disaster Centenary Hospital will conduct a mock disaster exercise on Thurs. May 19 from noon to 2 p.m. to test its disaster plan. A mock community disaster, a car and bus col- lision, is planned in which approximately 45 West Will Collegiate students will act as disaster victims, vary- ing in age and injury. They will be brought to the hospital's Emergency Department where staff will assess the severity of their injuries and begin treatment. Fifteen "fake" inpatients wW be placed throughow the hospital to be "discharged" in order to accommodate disaster pa- tients. A disaster is defiled by the hospital as an influx of casualties which, in the opi- nion of the hospital Pt - dent or senior person in charge, the hospital's routine facilities is ramble to adequately handle. While the hospital is nor- mally able to handle up to 15 casualties without in- itiating a full-scale 1. ioster plan, the decision to put the plan into effect ultimately belongs to the senior per- son in charge. after con- sulting the Quet of Staff, or emergency doctor and senior nurse in charge. Florence Cruickshank in support of the increase. Police inspector George Bowman told Scarborough's Works and Transportation Committee last week that current fines are not large enough to deter motorists from park- ing on streets where it is prohibited. The fine for stopping a vehicle in a prohibited area becomes $40 if paid within seven days instead of the present $20. Standing a vehicle in a prohibited area will cost $40 instead of $20, parking in a prohibited area will go from $10 to $20 while parking a heavy truck goes from $30 to $60. All other parking offences will now be $10 instead of $5. The amount of fine, if not paid within seven days, also doubles. Metro Council has already approved the in- crease and has asked all area municipalities to en- dorse it so that the police will have one uniform by- law to enforce. Bowman said police find it difficult to control on -street parking if each municipality has a different set of fides. The fine increases apply to all parking offences with the exception of fines for the handicapped, which have yet to be set. The cities of Scarborough and York are the only area municipalities that have not yet approved the in- crease. Scarborough is ex- pected to endorse the fines this week. Alderman Ron Watson, in supporting the increase, said that "Scarborough is a car society and we must have some rules and regulations. " 30GETSu NIEIANA T3roeN Eat Chopltr 12TH.

According to the Trivial Pursuit game. the year 1900 was not a leap year. Why not? It should have been since every fourth year is leap year. D.T. A. The calendar currently used in most western societies. including the United States. is the Gregorian calendar. It consists of twelve months. seven with 31 days, four with 30 days, and one with 2B days. This total of 365 days, however, does not exactly match the solar year because a solar year is 365-1 2 days long. Therefore, an adjustment is made every fourth year by adding a day to February, creating a leap year. But this is still not accurate over an extended period of time. A year is actually 11-1 4 minutes shorter than 365-1 4 days. Pope Gregory XIII realized this and, in 1582, designed a calendar to correct this error. He stipulated that only cen- tury years divisible by 400 would be leap years. So 1700, 1800, and 1900 did not have a February 29. On the other hand, the year 1600 did and the year 2000 will. Gregory's calendar has been used since the 1500'5 and takes its name from him. Q. Can you find me a recipe for rock candy an a string-. M.C. A. This "recipe" is really a science experiment and can be found in Dorothy Allen's Elementary Science Activities for Every Month of the School Year. Heat 150ml. of water to boiling and add table sugar to the hot water until no more sugar will dissolve. Tie a small weight to each end of several pekes of clean white string and suspend the strings in the sugar solution so that the wneghts almost reach the bottom. Tie the free ends of the strings to a rod (such as a pencil) positioned across the top of the sugar water container. Set aside and leave undisturbed until the water evaporates and the sugar crystalizes on the strings. Then enjoy ymw ..rock candy' Q. I have a commemorative medallion issued by Ford Motor Company. On one side it has the Ford insignia and "Thirty Years of Progress" and on the other side it has -1903V8 1933". Can you tell me anything about this medal? G.Z. A. According to David Crippen of the Henry Ford Museum Reference Library, about one half million of these medallions were struck to commemorate the thirtieth an- niversary of the Ford Motor Company. Many of these medallions are still in existence. More information on this token can be obtained by con- tacting: David Crippen, Archives, Henry Ford Museum, Box 1970, Dearborn, MI 48121. A Journey In History Each spring the grade nine class at St. John's School of Ontario tradi- tionally embarks on a one or two week canoe trip. This year, however, the class has been studying Toronto History and came across an historical ac- count proposing the Rouge River as a possible transport route to Markham. As a result these students have been researching and walking the area, and as well they have been looking at both sides of the political issues surrounding the Rouge River Valley System and participating in weekly debates on the topic. On May 24 and 25 the grade nine students will embark on a canoe trip up the Rouge River to Markham. The boys, ac- companied by several staff members, plan to put their canoes in the water at Frenchman's Bay on Tues. May 24th to begin their journey in history. Speaking To You 47 Scott Fennell M.P. Ontario Riding Recently in the House of Commons, the Government voted on John Reimer's Private Members' Business -Motion to entrench private property rights into the Constitution of Canada. The Motion was strongly supported and passed on May 2, 1988. It was in the opinion of this Government, the Constitution Act, 1982, should be amended in order to include property rights and, that the Governor General issue a Proclamation tinder the Great Seal of Canada to amend Section 7 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms to read as follows: Everyone has the right to life, liberty, security of the per- son and enjoyment of property, and the right not to be deprived thereof except in accordance with the principles of fundamental justice. Even though enjoyment of property rights is included in the Canadian Bill of Rights, it does not confer or create real rights. For this reason, property rights should be entrench- ed into the Constituion, and what this motion means to all Canadians once this motion becomes entrenched, is that it will provide individuals with a fair and just hearing before the courts in the case of property right disputes. I have always been a strong advocate of the entrench- ment of these rights into the Constitution, and believe pro- perty rights are fundamental to Canadian society. I am pleased to have been part of this historic occasion. Queen's Park Report from Norah Stoner MPP Durham West The Government of Ontario is responding to concerns ex- pressed about environmental issues b% residents in cum- rn mities such as Ajax and Pickering - The environment was a major issue in the election cam- paign last summer especially such things as landfill and water quality at beaches. The Ontario Environment Mhusrry's expanded 1988 budget focuses new resources on areas such as beaches cleanup, recycling, abatement of industrial pollution of waterways and enforcement of environmental laws. The $426 million spending pian is $35.4 million, or 9.1 per- cent, higher than the 1987 level. It represents a commit- ment to environmental restoration and protection that is 51 percent greater than in 1985. ..Our government's commitment to the environment has been expressed in the dollars and staff provided to my Ministry to push ahead with the aggressive programs we have introduced over the past three years," Envuvamen t Minister Jim Bradley said.
