During the phone debate, aexkpr outrage ova thetraffic gnowmg - In response, Mr. Ashe, Arthur's phoinry 4pps- new, called for an im- mediate widening of the 401 and blamed the current provincial government for a "non announcement" of its plans to widen the 401 to Brock Road in Pickering. Mayoralty candidate Ar- thurs shot back, "If we had had approvals a years ago, W hen Mr. Ashe ( our MPP at the time) was in a posi- tion to do something about it, we would be driving on 12 lanes rather than talking about it." Arthurs went on to state his opposition to the pro- posed widening of Altona Road from highway No.2 to Sheppard Ave. He said "there is no convincing evidence of a need for the widening". Whites Road, currently under is causing traffic to spill over on to Alton Road, presenting a distorted volume count. Arthurs wants the Alton widening money allocated immediately to the Steeles Avenue/ Taunton Road con- nection "Ibere is no ques- tion that our energy and money must be spent on improving our east i west links,,, says Arthurs " and action on the Steeles / Taun- ton link should be the No. i priority.

Durham Board Of Education Highlights New Dire~ Appointed The Dtrham Board of Education has appointed Pauline Laing as Director of Education, succeeding Bruce Mather who will retire Feb. 17, 1999. Pauline is currently Superintendent of Cur- riculum Services with the Halton Board of Education where she previously serv- ed as a teacher, depart- ment head, vier- principal and principal. Pauline has also served in Brantford, London and Elgin. She has taught English, mathematics, French and drama and has been a guidance counsellor and a librarian. Pauline also taught for two years in East Africa with C.U.S.O. She interrupted her teaching career for five years to work as a system analyst programmer in Topeka, Kansas, and as an educational researcher in Toronto. During her 26 years in a variety of educa- tional and business set- tings, Pauline has developed the qualities of a successfW leader. Trustees look forward to Pauline Joining the Durham Board of Education, effective Jan. 2, 1989. They believe that under her leadership, trustees and staff will work effectively to build on Durham's tradition of ..Quality Education Today - For Tomorrow". Capital Forecast Approved Ser Sabmissism The board's capital forecast, covering the years 196919W, was ap- proved by trustees and will e submitted to the Ministry of Education. The forecast calls for over 5237 million in construction and site purchases over the five year period, and does not include many of the upgrading projects that will also be necessary dur- ing that time. For approval in 1969 (funding in 19901, are a secondary school for Pickering, two elementary schools for Oshawa, two elementary schools in Ajax, one elementary school for Whitby, several relocatable additions and boiler replacements, and forty additional portables. The total cost of these pro- jects is estimated at almost $59 million, with site pur- chases totalling $8 million. In 1962, only 38 portables were in use at Durham schools. This year there are 369 portables and by the 1909-90 school year it is estimated that 437 por- tables will be required by the Durham Board of Education.

The proposed Seaton Community in Pickering has not been taken into ac- count in this capital forecast. The board has ad- vised the Ministry of Education that if construc- tion should be slated to begin in that area, a separate capital forecast to deal with the anticipated growth would be prepared by board staff. Testees stressed that all of the projects on the capital forecast for 1969 are critical in order to provide the new pupil places re- quired to meet the growth needs in Durham. It was noted that the board would require the support of parents, local councils and the media to bring Durham's critical accom- modation problems to the attention of Members of Parliament, the Provincial Treasurer and Members of Cabinet.

Distance to the school and whether or not a parent will be home over the mid- day period are usually the two main factors affecting the decision. If a gild mutat walk a long distance to reach home, there may not be ample time to make the round trip in a normal su�od lunch period Ahildren who are bused to school have no option - they must remain there for lunch. Often, parents who are both working prefer that their children eat lunch at school rather than come home to an empty, unsupervised home. When up to 90% of a school's population stay at school to eat, facilities are, at best, strained. Years ago, elementary schools were constructed without taking this situation into Mite demand to provide Quality facilities for every aspect of school life has put increased pressure on schools to meet the needs of the community in this regard. The Durham Board of Education is mpondtng by including a lun- chroom, stage facility in each of its new schools under construction. Altboug h this area cannot always accommodate all the students who remain at school for leach, it goes a long way toward easing the strain. Gord MacLean. Prin- cipal of Meadowcrest Public School in Brooklin, makes the best of a tough situation His is an older school without a specific area to save as a lun- chroom. Up to 75% of his 365 students stay for lunch, depending upon the weather. Many of these youngsters are bused to and from scud, so in- tramural sports and ac- tivities must take place in the gym at noon. This means Meadowcrest students must eat lunch at their desks in their own classrooms. Mr. MacLean tries to 'balance the requirements of both his staff and students. Teachers must have an uninterrupted 40 minutes break at lunch time. Supervision of the classrooms and school yard at noon must be scheduled to ensure that the teachers' needs are met and that the students in their care are properly monitored The Durham Board of Education provides lun- chroom supervisors to each school based on the mmmber of students attending the school, but it's not easy to attract applicants for the jobs. People who live far from the school are not willing to travel the distance to work for only one hour per day. Those who five close often have children coming home at noon for kWXJL eadowts t, often eigh volunteer to sit with the primary claves to help supervise," says Mr. MacLean. •'It works out very well as the youahger chikkea appreciate the at- tention and the older children gain a real sense of responsibility. " Twenty minutes is allow- ed for students to eat their lunches and tidy their desks, then it's time to don outside clotting and bead for the playground. Alter- nate arrangements are made when bad weather makes going outside less desirable, but generally students like the opportuni- ty to get some fresh air and spend time playing with their peers in a supervised atmosphere. Meanwhile, parents, school staff and the Durham Board of Educa- tion are working hand in hand to make sure that Quality Education Today - For Tomorrow extends to the lunchroom as well as the classroom. ..............

Page 2 THE NEWS; POST Wed. Nov. 2, 1988 opinion a page for expression for you and us Let's Get It Straight b_v Bob Watson At last the question of the proposed federal sales tax ef- fective Jan. 1st has come into the political arguments as the parties vie for the voters' decision on Nov. 21st. The Minister of Finance, Michael Wilson, has been very vague up till now about how much and upon what this new tax is going to be applied. However, we gather that it will be taken from the current manufacturing level and moved to the retail level. This would be an asset to our manufac- turers in selling their products to the world - and we must applaud this idea. However, instead of taxing manufactured goods as in the past at the retail level, the federal Tories are apparently go- ing to tax everything that moves, including the sale of a house, and all services provided professionally. The only exemption is food, which was on the agenda originally but came off after some protests at Ottawa. We believe that it is very important that the Progressive Conservatives announce before this critical vote what is go- ing to be taxed on Jan. 1st and what isn't. And we suggest that instead of taxing everything that moves they should stick to products instead of hitting professional services such as doctors, lawyers, architects, railway tickets, airplane tickets etc, etc. :Newspaper advertising and anything to do with the printed media always has been tax free as part of the freedom of the press. Michael Wilson won't answer a ques- tion if this is going to change. Mr. Wilson further says that his government would not get any more tax income from this new tax - which is very difficult to believe and suggests that he may not be as good at his job as we thought. The cost of collecting this new tax would be tremendous among small business, not counting the ammber of extra civil servants we would need. Canada does not need more inefficiency of government action and we are surprised that aconservative party would suggest this instead of making it easier for companies to exist - especially small busu! In out opinion the fairest and best tax to pay the cost of government is income tax. It is equal to everyone and only takes from someone or company if the money has been earned. Sales taxes take from the poor and middle class whether they have it in hand or not. Cane on Mr. Wilson - tell us exactly what you would do if you are in power next time! This is important to us all and equally of significance to the question of 'free trade with the t'SA" Re -Assessment by Bob Watson The question of fairness in property taxes is finally com- ing to some sort of decision. For years Metro Toronto homes have been taxed according to the assessment of the value of the homes at the time of their purchase. 'Ibis has meant that older homes in the City of Toronto have been paying much lower taxes - but getting the same services of police, fire. ambulance, transportation etc. as the newer home owners paying a much higher rate. An equalized assessment of all properties is necessary in a der to bring the property taxes more in line with reality today. Of course, older properties should get their increases over a period of time in order to make it easier for the tran- sition to the new system. Most of Ontario has had this newer equalized tax basis but not Metro Toronto and we often wonder what there is in the City of Toronto that gets this special treatment against the majority of property owners in Metro Toronto. The suburbs have many more people so it can't be "vote buying". We believe that suburban representatives have been too lax in arguing in favour of fairness in our tax system. We hope that a change is effected very soon. Clouded Vislons Looking through a window, I see my future. Children playing peacefully, Carefree and innocent. Bright, blue skies, Filled with hope.

Mrs. Estok was chosen for the award because of her thousands of hours of volunteer service in the Neighbourhood Watch Program over the past eight years. Native Community Health Centre A new community health centre for native people will open in downtown Toronto next year with the help of $109,400 in start-up funds from the ministry. Scheduled to open in January, Anishnawbe Health Toronto at Bloor St. & Spadina Rd. is expected to serve about 3,000 Native Indian, Metis and Imt people by its third year of operation, with an operating budget of approximately $800,000 a year. No Sign Of Slowing Stronger -than -average demand for homes during the summer months has added to the upward pressure on resale house prices in the Toronto area. In the past year, the price of homes throughout the Metro area has increased typically in the 15 to 30 percent range, with some of the greatest increases recorded in the more central areas. According to the most recent issue of the Royal LePage Survey of Canadian House Prices, selling price increases in central areas like North Toronto, the Beaches, High Park Bloor West Village, and Central Toronto have exceed- ed 30 percent for most categories of housing reported in the Royal LePage Survey. In suburban areas like Pickering, Brampton Bramalea and Oakville, most types of housing have increased no more than 20 percent.

One would miss them if they weren't there but is not really aware of them when they are; rather like the large rhythm sec- tion in the late Guy Lombardo's or- chestra. It's truly a treat to watch pros like them in action. Still, the star of the show is Elvis Wade and he truly is a star in his own right. We say that because, ti- tle aside, he really doesn't imitate Elvis Presley. He doesn't really sound like him nor look like him. Yet such is his presence and casual intensity that one soon hpmmp. raiwht rm Around and A bou Your Dining & Entertainment Guide in his performance and can almost believe it's the original on view. He doesn't take himself too seriously either. He sings the songs that Elvis sang plus a few others and along the way offers the candid statement that "the mare you drink, the better I sound". He's right, or at least some of our fellow patrons declare that to be SO. Be aware as well that the "Elvis" on view is the lat- ter day model; a bit portly, mutton chop sideflashes and mKbe costuming. One supposes a recreation of the primitive Elvis is no longer possible. Still, it could be interesting. In the meantime, and with no condescension in- tended at all, we thoroughly recommend a visit to the Imperial Room for Elvis Wade and The Jordainaires.

ON YOUR TOES: Reviews of attractions that have come and gone are not usually included here but mention really must be made of the Royal Winnipeg Ballet and its all too short engagement last week at The O'Keefe. It can truly be said that the short works in the mix- ed programs had something for everyone's individual tastes and enjoy- ment for all. There was simple purity of tine in Balanchine's Con- certo oo-certo Barocco and van Mann's Piano Variations III; the latter featuring Evelyn Hari and Lindsay Fischer in a display of technical frreworts. The Four Last Songs was a sen- sualists' dress and Gaite Parisienne a (knockout pro- duction piece that left the audience wanting mace. Friends. we simply can't understand why the Royal Wumipeg does not attract larger audiences in Toron- to. Perhaps longer rums might be the answer with attendance picking up at the end of a first weer. A three evening engagement such as at present is possibly too short "for the wad to get around". Whatever the reason, this company deserves full measure of public support and All be as sad day should it come to pass that it will eschew Toronto. BIG SCREEN: Make what you will of this. From Warner Brothers comes wad that production has begun at London's Pinewood Studios on Batman. It's release next stunmer will coincide with the 50th anniversary of the comic strip hero. So far so good and one can live with the fact that the world's most over rated actor, Jack Nicholson, will appear as The Joker. But, guess who's been cast as Batman. It's Michael Keaton. Michael Keaton? Holy hole in the donut Batman! Heaven alone knows how that line will come out in the movie. Still, one should be grateful for small mer- cies; at least the line won't be delivered by Jack Nicholson who seems in- capable of anything beyond gutter Who are to get to play Robin? Maggie Ttudeau? LITTLE SCREEN: Tomorrow evening Global presents The Cary Grant Celebration hosted by Michael Caine. The show is a tribute to Mr. Grant and will feature clips from his more than 72 mo- tion pictures. One hopes that included will be the tunnel scene from North by Northwest, tame by today's standards but rich in suggestive power then. Don't know if it will be mentioned on the tribute but Cary Grant was Ian Fleming's first choice for the role of James Bond. Should be quite a show. Degrassi Junior High is back on the CBC with new episodes. The season will Traditions In Marine Navigation Did you know that "knots per hour" was derived from the old practice of throwing a rope with knots tied at regular intervals overboard to carat how many knots passed by in 30 seconds?

ON RECORD: Time was when Toronto had a goodly number of quiet lounges; places where one could go for a leisurely drink in good company and fine surroun- dings. There was always music too; quiet music played with impeccable taste. Well, Bassel's, Club One Two and the rest are gone now and so, for the most part, is the music that one used to bear in them.

CORRECTION: A missing line in a recent column made it appear that the producers of Les hftiserables who are holding auditions this Saturday at Equity Showcase (221 Duf- ferin St.) are seeking one boy to portray the little Cassette. Not so. The boy is for the role of Gavroche. A young girl is being sought, and quite properly, for the role of Cassette. Sheesh!

The former will be here for a few weeks and our full review follows soonest. Cabaret is bere only until the end of the week.

Pearson Queen's .Park Report --- --------------- from North Stoner Y_ MPP Durham West An Ontario Government appointed Task Force has made numerous recommendations aimed at combatting illegal drug use in this province. The Chairman of the Task Force on Illegal Drug Use in Ontario, Muskoka -Georgian Bay Liberal MPP Ken Black, presented his report to Premier David Peterson October 17th. He said reduction of the serious problem of use of il- legal drugs must focus on two dimensions - supply and de- mand Mr. Black added that simply drawing attention to either dimension is not enough. He said, "Just as we cannot isolate illegal drug use from the larger problem of substance abuse, we cannot deal with substance abuse in isolation from the many other social and health problems with which it is linked." The Task Force, established by Premier David Peterson in August, was a direct response to a recommendation of the coroner's jury which reviewed the accidental, drug- related death of teenager Benji Hayward of Toronto. Premier Peterson described the 47 page report, with 29 recommendaitans, as "action -oriented" and said that it "provides us with a strategy for responding to this most serious problem. "Comatting the use of illegal drugs is an issue which the government views with the highest priority." Education Minister Chris Ward immediately responded to the Black report, descri bing as "appropriate" six recom- mendations that call for the school system to play a direct role in the fight against drug abuse. "We need to form a common front against drug abuse," Mr. Ward said He said the report points out effectively that fighting drug abuse requires a partnership of parents, families, the com- munity and the police, as well teachers and schools. In response to one of Mr. Black's recommendations, the Education Minister has directed an immediate review of the recently announced mandatory drug education pro- gram contained in the new guideline for physical and health education. Mr. Black suggested the review to ensure that such pro- grams rograms provide a comprehensive approach that focuses on development of healthy life-style practices. I'm confident the information offered in this curriculum is sound. Bu: I agree with Mr. Black that drug education must do more than just convey information. It mist change attitudes and a ncourage powtive behaviour." Dur. Ward said. The task force recommends that age-appropriate chug education be an essential part of health education pro- grams beginning in the primary division of schools. "In light of Mr. Black's findings, I am prepared to con- sider oo-sider developing drug education in the primary division to introduce children to various aspects of drug use ap- propriate to their age level. But I will not take this step without consulting closely with school boards and educators throughout our province," Mr. Ward said Among the other recommendations of the task force are: that the health Ministry, through District Health Coancdss in co-operation with Social Planning Councils and staff of the Addiction Research Foundation, where available, in.. itiate formation of Community Action Groups to pian and implement programs of parent education and public awareness related to integrating non-use of illegal drugs in- to healthy lifestyle practices. The Task Force also recom- mends that the complement of the Ontario Provincial Police Drug Enforcement Section be boosted by 32 members and 4 support staff.
