Some of the best will be honoured when the Dunham Branch of the Ar- chitectural Conservancy of Ontario makes its 1st an- nual Preservation Awards at a special dinner at the Old Liverpool House in Pickering on Jan. 28th. The guest speaker will be Val Swain, Q.C., a former mayor of Kingston who is currently a governor of Heritage Canada. The public is invited to attend the dinner. Reserva- tions may be made by call- ing Doug Anderson at 668-6111 or 666-5040 or Margaret Boyce at me -9681. Winners in the restora- tion category were Joann and Vera Hugel of Whitby for the Flint Anderson house, a brick and stone farm house which used to stand far back from Rossland Road a bit east of Anderson St. in Whitby. A subdivision has been built around it and the manner in which the Hugels acquired the house was particularly commen- dable. Answers From The Library Q. How does a gun silencer work' S. R. A. A silencer functions on the same principle as a car muf- fler. Both the gun silencer and the automobile muffler were invented by Hiram Percy Maxim in the early 1900's. When a silencer is placed at the end of a gun barrel it ab- sorbs the heat and pressure from the explosion. Spiral veins of steel or bronze wool inside the tube catch the gases ex- pelled with the bullet so they are broken down, cooled, and expelled more slowly. Suppressing the explosion of gases modifies the sound. Contrary to what is shown on TV, silencers do not com- pletely eliminate the sound of a gunshot any more than automobile mufflers eliminate the sound of an engine. Real silencers also tend to be much larger than those shown on television: 2 to 3 inches in diameter and 9 to 15 inches long for a .38 or .357, and 1 inch in diameter and 6 to 8 inches long for a .22. Silencers are only effective on automatic han- dguns because in a revolver the sound and gases escape out the side near the cylinder. In the adaptive reuse may the judges gave the nod to Pearson lanes in downtown Whitby where four early twentieth cen- tury houses were joined together to form a unique commercial complex. The category for new constuctim designed to complement an existing heritage building was won by the new Parish Hall of St. Thomas Anglican Church in Brooklin, a small frame church originally designed by architect Henry Langley - Langley was a prominent nineteenth century Ontario architect who designed, among other, Metropolitan United Church and the spire of St. James Cathedral, both in downtown Toronto. In designing a new parish hall for such a building, the challenge was to build something large enough to accommodate the needs of the congregation yet not overshadow the original church. The judges felt that this goal had been ad- mirably fulfilled. The judges were Tom Cruickshank, Editor of Canada Century Home of Port Hope and Fred Roles, who was Chairman of Ajax's LACAC for six years. The preservation awards were started by the Durham ACO to provide additional inducement \ Fastest growing FAX machines in Canada TOSHIBA SAVE $200 'y \ J- NTC Ask about our rebate offer.; National Telephone Corporation 4500 Sheppard Avenue East, Unit 21, Scarborough 754-4500 towards effective reuse of heritage buildings. This is particularly critical in high growth areas since progress fre- quently means bulldozing the post. The Flint Ander- son house is a rare example of an agreement with a developer to Preserve an historic building on its original site within a new subdivision. The awards were open to any buikkng in Durham Region in which the con- struction/restoration was completed within the last five yaps. Nominations for the 1969 Preservation awards will be received until April 30. Send to ACO Durham Box 171, Whitby, Ontario, LIN 5S1. The ACO was formed in the late thirties by a group of architects concerned about the rapid deteriora- tion of Ontario's historic buildings. Although the organiza- tion still contains many ar- chitects, most of its members are simply average citizens with an in- terest in history and ar- chitecture. Durham Bd. of Education Highlights Floods Transferred Trustees approved a mo- tion authorizing the treasurer to transfer, in each fiscal year, the cur- rent operating surplus/deficit of the Board to the reserve for working funds up to a total reserve maximum of 5% of the current year's budget. A portion of the projected 1986 surplus will be used to purchase a voice mail system, upgrade the cur- rent telephone system at the Board office, and pur- chase an uninterrupted power supply.

Principal John Hinch was on band to ic�$93 nu :o re's PRINTING A%u introduce teacher Anne Farrell and students from the Dr. R. Thornton In- termediate Girls' Choir. After performing two of Weir favourite selections, the girls led trustees in an old-fashioned carol sing. Chairman Lorna Murphy thanked them for con- tributing to the Board's Christmas spirit and wish- ed them a safe and happy holiday season. DASE Theme Song Per- formed "DASED But Not Confus- ed" was the title of the song written and sung by DASE student Tracey Lightstone and accompanied on the guitar by teacher Dirk van der Werf. The theme song was written to celebrate the official opening of the DASE Dunbarton campus held Dec. 8th. Featuring lyrics like "DASE can help us on our way," the song pays tribute to the students' strong feelings about the educational op- portunities DASE affords them.

Jan. 11, 1989 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Let's Take A New Look Toronto Councillor Jacobek has surprised some people in suggesting that development in downtown Toronto be suspended until a new look is taken about where this huge urban area is going. We believe that this is a very sensible approach. All big development in the Metro Toronto region cannot go into Toronto's downtown. Even today with the coming dome stadium mixed in the same neighbourhood as the CN Tower, not far from the Canadian National Exhibition and Ontario Place and right next to Harbourfront chaos is almost guaranteed whenever there is an event at the dome. Shortly the new Metro Council building will be built next to the Metro Convention Centre which is next to the dome and the CN Tower - and the CBC will put its new big head- quarters there as well. People are asking - but unfortunate- ly not demanding - that sensible development would have stopped some of this from happening: It is our opinion that the dome stadium should have been in North York at the top of the Spadina Expressway. The New Metro Toronto Council building should be in North Toronto not downtown and the CBC HQ should have gone to the Scarborough city centre area. Then all facilities would have enjoyed the maximum benefits with the minimum of chaos like we are going to experience. It is too late for the dome - but the Metro Toronto Council building and CBC HQ could still leave downtown. Surely some members of these organizations see the move to the suburbs as sensible and should start shouting now! We all want the Metro Toronto region to grow and develop into the world's best urban area. What we are doing now will kill further development in the future when the roads are impossible and the cost of moving people and goods is too high. Statf acts ... Dishwashers and air conditioners (central or window units) have been slow to catch on in Canadian households. They have been widely available for about 25 years but, in 1957. dishwashers were in use in about 40% of homes, air conditioners in only about 2D% Report from Queen's Park , Hon. Ed Fulton MirdsbrdTramp a I I'mn MPP Scarborough East The effort to address the problem of homelessness receiv- ed a boost this week when two cabinet ministers announced funding for projects in 12 Ontario communities. John Sweeney. Minister of Community and Social Services. and Chaviva Hosek, Minister of Hosing, allocated $1,756,000 to projects which will give homeless people and those at risk of becoming homeless the assistance they need to find and maintain permanent housing. $6 million in ongoing access funding was set aside by the province so that community groups could provide services to enable homeless people find homes. The plan is designed to support local solutions to problems of homelessness. As a result of this plan, 31 communities across the pro- vince have established Access to Permanent Housing com- mittees. The approved projects, representing the first group of successful proposals, are located in the Dufferin area, Durham Region, Halton, Hamilton -Wentworth, Kenora, London, the Niagara Region, North Bay, Perth County, Sudbury, Victoria County, and the Windsor -Essex area. Partnerships with Organizations p� ping with the spirit of working partnerships ex- pressed x- between communities and Government, the Ministry of Housing and the Catholic Archdiocese of Toron- to have entered into a partnership to provide affordable housing. Chaviva Hosek said that the partnership - the first of its kind between the Ministry of Housing and a major religious denomination - is a direct result of leadership shown by Gerald Emmett Cardinal Carter, Archbishop of Toronto. The Archdiocese is making an inventory of its land to determine its appropriateness of housing development.

The Ministry of Hous- ing will provide financial support to help set up this office. Under the Agreement, the Ministry and the Archdiocese are planning for the development of more than 800 non pro- fit units over the next three years. This includes some 400 units now under active consideration, and an additional four to six hundred that will be identified once the inventory is complete and housing targets established. The Catholic Archdiocese is also lending its voice to ap- peal to its church members to become involved in finding housing solutions. "Partnerships of this kind are essential for us to make progress in supplying affordable hosing across the pro- vince," said Ms. Hosek. She expressed her hope that this agreement is "a sign of things to come with other organiza- tions. " Greater Self -U nderstanding People can accomplish anything they want to, but trusting their intuition will make the path toward their goals easier, say lecturers coming to Scarborough this week. Elise Kaiss and Estelle Small believe that the mastery of our situations lies in learning, not only to understand our intuition, but to trust it. The national lecturers with the Inner Peace Move- ment will be giving a free informal talk on the subject Tues. Jan. 17, at the Mrd Scarborough Community Centre, 2467 Eglinton Ave. E. The lecture takes place at 7 p.m. "I trust myself when I trust the first impressions I take in any situation. How can I accomplish anything easily if I doubt myselfl. said Estelle Small. "By ap- plying the tools and techni- ques available to me through the Inner Peace Movement I have made in- ner calm a way of life." Small says that most peo- pie are aware they have hunches, but do not unders- tand that inner resources or how to develop it more. Kaiss says that her intui- tion is unhampered when she has self-confidence and self-respect. "'hue peace and inner :freedom starts with learn- ing to be yourself," said Ms. Kaiss. "Life is great when I feel good about myself. It is that simple." The Inner Peace Move- ment is a non-profit, educa- tional organization available in over 32 coun- tries helping people understand themselves and the world around them. MP Browes Tables Petitions To Save Rouge Valley Pauline Browes, MP Scarborough Centre, and thousands of concerned citizens all across Metro Toronto are determined to save Scarborough's Rouge Valley as a park. Browes tabled two peb- tions in parliament recent- ly which call on the federal and provincial govern- ments to work together and preserve the Rouge for future generations. "Despite the $10 million commitment by the federal government to help save the Rouge, action is still necessary to convince the provimci;al government to establish a park,"Bro es said The Rouge Valley in nor- theast Scarborough con- tains 5,000 acres of the last remaining wilderness area in Metro Toronto. Last September, Browes and the federal environment minister announced a $10 million commitment to help establish a park in the valley. The provincial government, which owns over 9D% of the land in the areas, has yet to announce plans for a park. "Given the province's in- action it is up to the people of Scarborough to continue the fight to save the Rouge," adds Browes. She noted that Scarborough Mayor Joyce Trimmer along with thousands of volunteers from the Save the Rouge Valley System organization support carr tinued action to save the valley. "Ibanks to the commit- ment of the mayor and the SRVS organization public attention will continue to be focussed on this important environmental issue.

Dr. Carse Branham is the new director of Environment Division. Dr. Burnham has devoted most of her career to environmental management, has been involved in environ- ment research and consulting engineering. and has served on the executive of professional pollution control orgamza- tions and environmental advisory groups. Paul Vyrostko has been named to head the second new division: Non -Utility Generation. As director, Vyrostko will oversee the promotion of private electricity generation across the province. Mr. Vyrostko has been with the cor- poration for 20 years in customer service and energy management areas. New Electricity Generation Another private electricity generator is now connected to Ontario Hydro's transmission system and supplying elec- tricity to customers. A 63 kilowatt hydro electric generator at the Fleming Feed Mill in Tweed, Ontario, went into ser- vice this fall. The plant, built in 1916, was refurbished before being returned to service. The generator powers operations at the mill during the day, and electricity produced at other hours is sold to On- tario Hydro. There are now 24 private electricity generating projects connected to Ontario Hydro's system. i Give A Gift That Lasts A11 Year!

"Individuals and business establishments now produce about eight million tons of garbage in Ontario each year. Disposal of all that solid waste is a growing pro- blem. Currently most of it goes to landfill sites, but these sites are filling at ever increasing rates and the citizens of Ontario do ,not want new landfill sites in their backyards. It's time for all of us to work Metro Bd. Of Trade Submissions RECENT POLICY SUW MISSIONS New Coesuaoer Law Study In response to the Report of the Legislative Review Project, the board states that rules established to protect consumers should not impose an unduly onerous burden on rep Aabie businesses, while still providing the necessary tools to prevent or punish unethical business practices. The board recommends that limited government resources should be employed to improve con- sumer education and the operation of existing dispute resolution mechanisms, including the Small Claims Court system, rather than em- barking on expensive and untried new programs. Support For Front Street - Gardiner Interebange The Board of Trade is strongly in favour of con- structing the Front St. -Gardiner Expressway Interchange, also known as the Front Street Extension. Extending Front Street west of Bathurst to an in- terchange with the Gar- diner at Exhibition Place is a road improvement that the board says will help reduce the critical traffic congestion evident in the downtown. The board believes this missing link should be completed as quickly as possible. Downtown streets leading to the Gardiner are very congested due to limited access to the Gardiner and an additional interchange improves traffic move- ment west of the downtown and benefits businesses west of the city core. Pearson Airport Conges- tion The board acknowledges the Federal Transport Minister's quick reply and action taken on concerns submitted by the board in September on congestion at Pearson Airport. The board is appreciative of im- mediate solutiorss provided by the Minister such as in- creasing the number of taxis and limousines serv- ing the airport, upgrading the information provided to airport users and improv - together to meet this challenge," Mr. Corrigan says. OMMRI has been and is an active player in the pro- motion and funding of municipal recycling pro- grams in Ontario. In 1996, the soft drink industry, its container and container material suppliers fng the signsincluding road signs, used to present that information. The Minister is also committed to long term road and him - sit service improvements within the airport and the board adds that since most of the roads and transit leading to the airport fall under various governmen- tal jurisdictions, an in- tergovernmental review of improvements is also necessary. For the time be- ing, Transport Canada has given priority to im- provernetnts at Pearson. established OMMRI, a not for profit corporation. Together the members of OMMRI are contributing $20 million over four years to research, promote and help fund municipal 'Blue Box" recycling Programs. Currently the "Blue Box" recycling system is used to recover glass bot- tles and jars, aluminum and steel food and beverage cans, plastic soft drink containers and newspapers from residen- tial solid waste. By the end of 1989, two million households will be recycl- ing and it is expected that a quarter of a million toms of solid waste will be diverted from landfill sites. "Rather than wait for new government legisla- tion, we would hope that other industries will see the benefit of moving ahead on a voluntary basis to assist municipal recycling. If they do so, it can be on a Art Exhibit "Winter Warm Up", an exhibition by The Wiilowdale Group of Ar- tists will be on display in sound. economic basis .. If . government legislates them in, flexibility and economy often go out the window," Corrigan says. "The task ahead is to ex- pand the 'Blue Box' system to add additional materials and products to be recycled in Ontario. The Ontario soft drink industry, through OMMIU, is playing an im- portant role in helping municipalities bring about a social change in the at- titudes and actions of citizens towards garbage; other industries can and should join in this oppor- tunity," Corrigan added.

Jan. 11, 1989 Bill Watt's Worlds ON STAGE 1: Over the years, regular readers will have noted our oft repeated protestation that we are a reviewer, not a critic. However, with the Royal Alexandra's presentation of Lily Tomlin's one woman show The Search for Signs of Intelligent Life in the Universe, we find ourself in possession of a bit of a sticky wicket. Review implies a recoun- ting of events and we are hard pressed to describe Cwhat it is that Miss ilin does on stage. It world be easy and pleasant if one could w is y say that her stow is hilariously may, tearily poignant and brillant over all. It is, indeed, all of those things but saying so doesn't tell a prospective theatre goer what to expect. So please bear with us as we essay, however inade- quately, a description of what might well be con- sidered laridmark theatre. Following the script and direction of her mentor Jane Wagner, Miss Tomlin takes upon herself several personalities - frequently more than one at a time - and reflects upon life through their eyes and in- sights. There is a loose nar- rative thread in as much as the show begins and ends with the same character, Trudy the beg lady of Broadway. In the hands of a less sen- sitive performer, the characterization could be embarrassing at best and offensive at worst. Such is Miss Ts skill and talent, however, that one finds ge- nu i insight along with the laughter that accompanies it as she recounts ex- periences with her friends from outer space. One finds oneself remembering, as well, a moment in the evening when an upwardly mobile, intense young wife is tell- ing her husband over the telephone of the suicide of a dear though confused friend. It is a moment of high drama - almost batbos - relieved when sbe re- counts that she died hang- ing herself from a macrame planter .. "Well I guess she took the plant out first_" Offensive? Not really. Funny? You bet, even if the laughter is that of released tension. Among the many other characters she portrays are Agnus Angst, a rebellious teenager: Lud and Marie, her Babbitish grandparents; Brandy and Tina, two Times Square bookers and Edie and Marge, two mods and minds without a single thought. All are brilliant, all are funny, all are beyond our powers of description. It is not beyond our resources however, to suggest that this show is adult entertain- ment of the highest order. Miss Wagner is a writing genius, Miss Tomlin is a performing genius; together they are two of the .half century's finest gifts to the arts. The show continues until Feb. 11th. Do not miss it. If you do, the space men could be after you. Damme, Miss Tomlin! Now you have us believing in them. ON STAGE II: Would that it were as easy to believe in valentine Browne: live. That's the title of another one woman show, more or less, in current presenta- tion by the Canadian Stage in the Free Theatre Downstairs (26 Berkeley St.) . It stars Susan Cox, it was written by her as were much of the music and lyrics and Miss Cox has staged the production as well. Obviously a labour of love - a herculean one at that - and obviously one in which she believes, perhaps with good reason. Valentine Browne is a Mersey side rocker who has never quite made it but believes that she has and that her story presented in rock music has a cultural worth for those who can discern it. Fair enough. Unfor- tunately. in execution, one is not sure whether Valen- tine Brownie' Susan Cox is intended as a send up or if Miss Cox genuinely believes there is substance in the sophomoric outpour- ings of Valentine Browe. a woman removed from the gutters of Liverpool but not able to scrape off the residue of poor breeding. Migawd, now we're star- ting to sand like Gene Stratton Porter or even Edgar Rice To be blunt this (sic) doesn't really know and cannot state whether Valentine Browne should be dismissed as wottalot- tacrapola or a minor work of art that will be rediscovered about two decades down the pike. We learn toward the former but who are we to say? Performance wise there is little to criticize or scold. Miss Cox is accompanied on stage by a dynamic far piece rock band led by the extremely talented Don Horsbuugh (and weighted down by drummer Mario Pietromonaco who seems incapable of a simple paradiddle.) Also along are the singers Paula Wolfson and June Garba.

Both sing well. As for Miss Cox herself; she looks somewhat like Katharine Chancellor of The Young and the Restless; her singing voice is like that of Petula Clark trying to imitate Eartha Kitt. She is genuinely talented and funny and in one bit ac- tually evokes a memory of the late Bea Lillie. That's when in a fit of "culture" she imitates a Flamenco dancer. With her long skin- ny legs, she looks rather more like a flamingo in a mating dance. It's funny, very funny. That one bit is not, however, enough to save this doubtless well intended show. As we say so often, we hope we're wrong but as of this writing we see no future for Valentine Browne; only disappoint- ment and possible heart- break for Susan Cox. Pity. ON STAGE SOONER: As this is being written, those union clowns at The O'Keefe are still keeping this city's major cultural companies hostages to greed. If reason prevails though - hang tight Charlie Cutts - the Canadian Opera Com- pany will be honouring outgoing General Director Lotfi Mansouri at The O'Keefe on Sun. Jan. 22nd. A special dinner will be held on stage and that will be followed by dancing and a special performance featuring guest artists who have performed with the COC over the last 12 years. Festivities will begin at 5:3o p.m. as guests enter The O'Keefe dressed as their favourite character from the world of opera. Cocktails and hors d'oeuvres will be served to the ragtime music at Rod Anderson. The discriminating opera buffs will realize of course that ragtime is a classical discipline and not just heavy handed embellishments of chopsticks. The evening has been designed as a fund raising event for the COC as well as an opportunity to pay homage to Mr. Mansouri. Tickets are a reasonable $500 per person with special rates for large par- ties. Please call Michelle Osborne at 363-6671. Now then, where are those grape leaves for our Bacchus costume? ON STAGE LATER: Cross country open call auditions for all principal and ensemble roles in the Canadian production of The Phantom of the Opera began yesterday in Van- couver and will conclude in Toronto on Jan. 25th and 26th. Those interested in audi- tioning should prepare two songs that demonstrate their voice and range. Music from The Phantom may be sung but it's not essential. What is essential is a photo and resumes as well as sheet music. A piano ac- companist will be provid- ed. Separate auditions for the corps de ballet will be held in Toronto on a date or dates still to be announced. Antique Iceboat On Display At Boat Show Imagine making the trip to the Toronto Islands in two minutes whisked across the frozen harbor by iceboat. These elegant, simply constructed craft combined the best of sail- ing and skating and were an extremely popular winter pasttime in Toronto. From the 19th century until changes to the harbour prevented it from freezing completely in the mid 20th century, iceboat races were a regular feature of winter in the city.

ON SCREEN: Dan Hall of Orion Pic- tures has sent along a cracker jack media kit listing the coming year's productions and releases. Muds obliged Dan. Scheduled for a Feb. loth limited and Mar. loth wide opening is Farewell to the King starring Nick Nolte and James Fox. Based on the novel by Pierre Schoen- doerffer (how's that for a name?) it tells the story of a special forces commando dropped behind Japanese lines in Borneo during WWII. He discovers a jungle paradise ruled by a British deserter. To bring the inhabitants into the struggle against the Japanese could destroy the utopia. Sounds interesting; the sort of thing that Hilton might have considered as a sequel to Lost Horizon. By the way Dan; are those Orion busses that run by your headquarters in North York's Madison Cen- tre really owned by Orion Pictures or is it just an to- credible coincidence? WORLD CLASS: The word is most definitely out that when something is to be publiciz- ed in T.O. the man to con- tact is Gino Empry. How else to explain the follow- ing passed along to us by Mr. E. Valentine Tershkova, the first woman in space and Chairman (sic) of the All Union Council of Societies for Friendship and Cultural Ties with Foreign Coun- tries has cabled the Canada -USSR Association to express gratitude to the members of the association for their concern, sym- pathy and support for the people of Soviet Armenia in the wake of the disastrous earthquake in that country. Miss Tereshkova has also gone on to say that what is really needed is money to be used for the purchase of plasma, foodstuffs and medicines as well as for help in rebuilding. Donations can be made directly to the USSR Foreign Economic Bank, Account No. 70000006, Moscow. Thanks Gino.

"Printmaking In 19th -Century France" The Art Gallery of On- tario has organized the ex- hibition Printmaking in Nineteenth Century France: The Toucbe Ross Gift to the Art Gallery of Ontario to mark the 130th anniversary of the Cana- dian firm and AGO patron Touche Ross. Curated by Dr. Katharine Lochnan, curator, and Brenda Rix, former assistant curator, Prints and Drawings, the exhibition opens at the AGO Jan. 21 and continues to March 19. It includes 63 late nineteenth-century and early twentieth-century French and English lithographs and etchings, from the 115 prints which have been purchased by the AGO with funds donated by Touche Ross over the last ten years. Works by Pierre Bonnard, James McNeill Whistler, Eugene Delacroix, Edouard Manet and Edouard Vuillard are in- cluded in the e:hibitian. Printmaking in Nineteenth -Century France: The Toucbe Ross Gift to the Art Gallery of Ontario is made possible by the generous support of Touche Ross and is organized and circulated nationally by the AGO. The exhibition first open- ed on Sept. 3, 1988, at the Glenbow Museum in Calgary, where Touche Ross held its annual meeting. The director of the Glenbow Museum, Duncan Cameron, was the consultant who in the early 1970s encouraged the com- pany to get involved with art sponsorship and con- ceived the gift to the AGO.

Christie During the second week of December, approx- imately 50 E.S.I. students braved the cold weather and walked over to Malvern Arena for their fust attempt at skating. After the fust fifteen minutes when some seem- ed reluctant to take that fust step, the rink slowly filled up with adventurous souls anxious to end up on their bottoms. Coaxed along, held up, and in some cases bullied by their teachers, the students found that their lack of English was no barrier to having fun on the ice. The allotted time passed very quickly and a good time was had by all. As very few of the E.S.L. students have their own skates, the excursion was made possible by the generosity of the staff and students who kindly lent their skates. A special "thank you„ goes to John Sherk of the Math Department and Rosalind Evans of Special Education for accompany- ing us and lending a help- ing hand.

Jan. 11, 1889 Sports Fishermen Go To Florida's Lee Island Coast Every year the annual springtime migration of the mighty tarpon attracts thousands of avid sports fishermen from all over the world to Florida's Lee Island Coast. Their objec- tive, the countless schools of tarpon gathering to spawn in the shallow waters off southwest Florida's Gulf Coast. The fabled tarpon, which is internationally renowned for its great size, aerial ex- plosions and pulse - quickening rushes when hooked, annually makes a long trek from as far away as Nova Scotia and South America to spawn in the calm, warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Nowhere else in the world are they as abundant as during the May to September spawning season off the west coast of Florida. Although tarpon annually roam throughout all the waters off the Lee Island Coast from Sanibel to Bonita Beach. the most knowledgeable sports fishermen claim Boca Grande and Pine Island Sound to be the best areas for tarpon fishing. In fact this is where the sport began oa Useppa and Pine Islands around the turn of the century. Boca Grande Pass, at the southern tip of Gasparilla Island, is the only water- way to the Gulf for the many miles of Charlotte Harpoua. In the centre of the pass and slightly off- shore is a large hole about 65 feet deep, 100 yards wide and 300 yards long. Tarpon lay in and around the big hole feeding on the many species of crab, shrimp and baitfish swirled in the tides and currents around the hole. This is the basic reason why this fish is so plentiful in Boca Grande Pass, the greatest feeding and breeding ground for tarpon in the world. The type of fishing done in Boca Grande is controll- ed drift fishing. Profes- sional guides use depth recorders to determine the depth and find the fish. When the fish are spotted, the guide will go uptide and put the baited lines over- board, then drift back through the tarpon. When the depth recorder shows he has drifted past the fish, he reels in his lines, goes back uptide and repeats the Many types of bait have been tried at Boca Grande Pass, some with better suc- cess than others. The favorites of the profes- sionals for daytime fishing are squirrel fish, mutton minnows, crabs and shrimp.

When tarpon strikes, pro- fessionals move their boats slightly ahead for two reasons. The first is to get the tarpon behind the boat so that when it comes up to jump it won't land in the boat. A large and wildly thrashing tarpon can easily break up deck equipment and the wire leader flying around can act like a knife. The second reason for mov- ing ahead is to keep a tight line on the strike to help set the hook. Once the fight is over, and unless the fisherman is in a tournament or plans to have the trophy mounted, it is best to release the tar- pon. Being a bony fish, tar- pon don't make good eating and their numbers, thanks to the nivention of the releasing hook, are now stronger than ever. Most tarpon tournaments are held on the weekends from May to July. After that the fishing activity begins to slow dawn even though tarpon remain in the area for another two months. The average tarpon in Boca Grande Pass weighs 65 to 85 pounds, many ex- ceed 100 pounds and un- doubtedly even larger fish are in the area. Yet. for all their size, tarpon grow slowly and fish rxceeding loo pounds are probably 13 to 16 years del. The tarpon is one of the most prolific of all fish and a single female is capable of producing over 12 million eggs. Spawning takes place in shallow estuaries and river mouths where the fish seem to thrive on the lower salinity. In fact, small tarpon are cornmon in brackish and freshwater steams. and as they grow larger they move into the rivers and estuaries and finally out in- to the open ocean. Among the tarpon's uni- que characteristics is its ability to take in surface oxygen. Being a member of a very primitive family of bonv fishes (Elopidae). tarpon possess a lung -like gas bladder which enables them to survive in waters with a low oxygen content. Tarpon fill their gas blad- der by "roiling" at the sur- face. But undoubtedly the single best known feature of the fish is its ability to slice the surface of the water while literally stan- ding on its tail in a gargan- tuan effort to dislodge the fishermen's hook impaled in its jaws. Countless photographers, film- makers and artists have made this sight of the tar- pon a familiar one over the years, and it's a sight every fisherman who hooks a tar- pon off Florida's beautiful Lee Island Coast will remember for a lifetime. Fort Myers Beach Fl. - Homan:ic sunset, are a L" Island Coast specialty. Visitors to southwest Florida's Gulf region have more than :io miles of unspoiled, palm -studded beaches to choose from Club Med's English Riding Program Club Med currently of- fers horseback riding in- struction in 12 villages around the world, with a combined stable of 320 horses. But, the dream of Jean-Marie Desqueyrou x, who has been instructing riders at Club Med for the past 17 years, was to develop a special Intensive English Riding Program for North Americans, utilizing the best French and American teaching techniques. The results of his research have all been in- corporated mcorporated into the brand new Intensive English Riding Program, which began last November at Sonora Bay (Mexico), Playa Blanca ( Mexico) and Club Med-St. Lucia ( Caribbean) . His love of horses and horseback riding began at the age of nine when he started helping his father, an instructor for the French cavalry, as a groom. Jean-Marie trained with the "Cadre Noir" at the French National Academy of Riding in Saumur, France and received a first degree in- structor certificate. Supervisecl and taught by Jean -Mane and his team of handpicked insttvctors. In- tensive English Riding classes are open to all levels of riders. Each class is limited to no more than seven students, in order to provide more personalized instruction and ensure op- timum learning. Every stu- dent will be assigned a horse for the week. In addition to the 2-1'2 hours of daily ring instruc- tion, the riding curriculum covers a variety of equita- tion subjects: grooming, tacking, preparation of a horse to show and the anatomy of horses, with hands-on experience and video teaching. Ring In- struction also includes dressage and jumping. Classes are videotaped, and students can take their personal tape home. All other riding activities in the village are open to par- ticipants in the Intensive English Riding Program at no extra cost. English -style helmets, boots, saddles and Western gear are provided at no additional cost. The fee for the week long Intensive English Riding Program is $250 U.S. per person. For less dedicated rider's, there are daily trail rides and beginning in- struction in the ring for an hour at a cost of approx- imately $15 U.S. per hour. Sonora Bay is a village located on the Sea of Cor- tez, 20 minutes from the Guaymas Airport. It has an open courtyard stable with 25 horses: two rings: one for jumping: one for instruction and dressage practice and quarter horses, criollos and pintos. Unlimited wilderness trails through canyons, hills and along deserted beaches allows for a three hour canyon ride and an eight hour ride to overnight campou t at a small Mex- ican ranch. This is billed as "A Night Among Cowboys.. and you sleep in a sleeping bag under the stars. Playa Blanco is a village located 60 miles north of Manzanillo an the Pacific Coast. It has newly built stables to house 25 horses, ring for instruction and jumping, wilderness trails along the hillsides and deserted beaches and a half day ride along broad deserted beaches with a stop for pic- nic lunch. St. Lucia is a village located on the southeast coast of the Caribbean island of St. Lucia, within a short ride from the airport. It has a stable, housing 26 horses, located 100 yards from the village and cover- ing five acres, dressage ring. jumping ring, polo field, grazing paddocks and Forestiere English saddles the same as those used by the French equestrian team.

Phyllis Weinberg, Past Candidate Ward 6 A Happy New Year to All Please accept my sincere thanks for your enthusi- astic support. The 3,444 votes that I received was more than any candidate received for trustee in any previous election and was indicative of the obvious directive that you wanted me to represent you. It is my regret that I was not, at this time, able to officially represent you. To many of you who called to discuss mutual education issues and concerns, I am still available and ready to work with you. My offer to lecture on related subjects and edu- cation and psychology still applies. My concern for people and for the betterment of the community at large, and for children in particu- lar, will inspire me to continue to try to achieve the goals in which I believe. It is my belief that each and every individual is entitled to a quality life — academically, physically, and emotionally. I have chosen the political arena for the accomp- lishment of these roles. In whatever capacity I can, and in anyway that I am able, I will work for the Movies With A Science Theme Children of all ages are invited to watch the films "Furious Flycycle" "How To Be A Perfect Person in Just 3 Days" and "Revenge of the Nerd" at 2 p.m. on Sat.

A Queen's Park -Report from Norah Stoner � 1W MPP Durham Went Attorney General Ian Scott says six pilot projects are working to reduce delays in criminal matters. Mr. Scott said his Ministry and Chief Judge Fred Hayes of the Provincial Court (Criminal Division) established co- operative management programs in Durham, Scar- borough, York Region, Peel, Ottawa -Carlton, and Simcoe. He said delays and backlog in the criminal justice systems are "unacceptable to me, to the bench, to the bar and to the public". But the Attorney General said he is confident the issue of delay could be resolved by the active and responsible par- ticipation of members of the delay reduction committees. The committees are made up of the senior Criminal Divi- sion judge for the region, the court administrator and representatives of the Crown Attorney's office, the defence bar and the Ontario Legal Aid Plan. Mr. Scott said these committees are analyzing the nature of their local backlog problem and will establish goals and timetables to reach those goals. "Initial results provide us with reason to be hopeful. The Ottawa -Carleton committee has already taken steps to reduce the backlog in that area by two months," the At- torney General said He added that studies and experiences in other jurisdic- tions show that a commitment to establishing and following a management pian can lead to results within a two year period. "We also know that there is clear evidence that court delays are not caused solely by a lack of resources. In fact, some of the evidence shows that addling extra resources, without changing the caseflow management process, does not cure the problem,,, be said- The aidThe Attorney General has also established a community based advisory committee to assist in the selection of pro- vincial court judges. According to the Mimstry, the nine member Attorney General's Advisory Committee on Judicial Appointments will balance the expertise of lawyers and the judiciary with essential public input. "True Committee will introduce a greater eornintrnity in- volvement in the appointment of provincial court judges. The prwill benefit from the life experiences and pro- fessional expertise of highly qualified individuals repro ting diverse areas of Ontario. Their role will be to bring tbeir collective knowledge and sembvity for community concerns to the chomsing of candidates for judicial appoint - meats," Mr. Scott said Currently, lawyers interested in becoming judges submit applications to the Attorney General. When there is a vacancy on the Dench, the Attorney Generad's office reviews the applications and consults with rnembets of the bar and bench before a candidate is recommended to the Ontario Jutbcial Council for final review. The candidate's name then goes to Cabuwt for final applicants. The Advisory Committeewhich will operate as a pilot project for three years, will begin reviewing applicants in March NORAH'S NOTES: Ttie Minister of grills Development Alvin Curling will be the guest speaker at a "Business Breakfast" I will be hosting Friday, January 20th at 7:45 a.m. at Sac's Restaurant in the SuperC,entre in Pickering.
