Pla- ques will be purchased for Leslie McFarlane PS, R.A. Sennett PS and E.B. Phin PS, which have had recent name changes. Provincial Policy State- ment on Housing The summary of the Durham Board of Educa- tion's position on the Pro- vincial Policy Statement on Housing will be submitted to the Premier of Ontario, the Minister of Housing, the Minister of Municipal Affairs, Durham Region M.P.P.s, the Director of Planning and Clerk for Durham Region, and the Planning Directors and Clerks for all Durham municipalities. It will point out that if affordable hous- ing in the region is to be fast -tracked, the capital allocation for schools must also be fast -tracked. The summary suggests changes to several general policies and policies on of- ficial plans and notes the Board's concerns about many of the provisions of the province's policy state- ment on housing, given ex- isting building levels and provincial funding methods.

The response also recognized the difficulties of achieving an integrated approach to both child care and educa- tion and noted reservations concerning Ministry of Education practices and proposed actions in the area of child care. It also recognized that collabora- tion between the two ministries in developing an integrated approach to education /child care can the Ajax and Pickering General Hospital is pro- gressing remarkably. With a public goal of $7 million, the A Healthy Partnerhip Campaign has received well over $4 million to date. In keeping with the tide of community support, Runnymede Development Corporation Limited Vice President Lou Greenbaum, along with the Mayors of Pickering and Ajax, is hosting a Developers' Breakfast to encourage corporate participation. On Tues. Feb. 14th, Ajax Mayor Jim Witty and Pickering Mayor Wayne Arthus joined Mr. Green- baum to welcome over 100 developers and builders to the hospital's cafeteria. The breakfast goers will be given a presentation of the hospital's case by Mr. Greenbaum and medical staff. Runnymede Develop- ment has led the developers' division with a landmark challenge dona- tion of $1 million to the ex- pansion cannpoign. The hospital is faced with severe overcrowding and outdated equipment as the population in the coaamuni- ty of Pickering and Ajax has almost tripled in the post two decades, putting a heavy strain on the existing facility which was last ex- panded ul155164.

MARTINO CHAR G1lffsoMack Funeral Hone Page 2 THE NEWS'POST Wed. Feb. 15, 1989 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Car Insurance by Bob Watson The provincial government's settlement on rates for auto insurance doesn't leave many drivers too enthusiastic about their costs later this year. It seems unusual for a government to get involved in rates because insurance companies take big chances in the pay out of claims. Our solution to this problem is much simpler than the government has attempted. Insurance rates would be reasonable if court cases around North Amreica hadn't been seeing large settlements. It is this which has caused the big problem. So the solution is simple, in our opinion. Why not legislate that no one can get more than $1 million in damages in any accident and the insurance companies would know the maximum claim. Thus they could stabilize their rates easily when claims are kept under control. Extend Crown Wards Children in care of the Children's Aid Society should be able to stay as crown wards until the age of 24 if necessary, Metro CAS is recommending. At present, society guardian- ship ends at age 18, but can be extended on a voluntary basis until 21. The society is responding to 'Transitions', the report of the Social Assistance Review Committee which has called for major changes in the way the Ontario Government ad- ministers welfare support. Metro CAS notes that more than a third of those on social assistance are children under 18, and that a large propor- tion of its caseload (45%) is receiving social assistance. It says that adolescents in its care often need continuing parental support well beyond their 18th birthday. "Like all teens, they are very much in need of caring parents." This is clearly confirmed by the experience of the Pape Adolescent Resource Centre, a co-operative effort by Metro child welfare agencies to provide transitional and after- care supports to youths who are about to leave the care of the CAS. It therefore recommends that Crown wardship be con- tinued, if appropriate, to the age of 24, with all the associated financial and counselling benefits. On the issue of bousft. Metro CAS notes that children are coming into CAS care and staying in care longer than necessary solely due to their parents' inability to find affor- dable shelter. Incorrect Dear Bob: In an article in the January 25, 1989 edition of the Scar- borough News, entitled "Wants TTC Replaced By MTT" Mayor Joyce Trimmer was paraphrased as saying " .. the fust step towards amalgamation and the loss of Scar- borough's identity occurred with direct election to Metro which was imposed by the province' I would like to point out to the readers that nothing was .imposed" by the province. This was legislation passed by the province and supported not once, but three times in votes by Scarborough Council. One Wrould think that after requesting this Legislation in three separate votes, Council would spend less time criticiz- ing the structure and more time taking advantage of the greater opportunity they now have to promote local identity and issues of concern, free from Metro involvement. Yours sincerely, Frank Faubert, M.P.P.

This is money that will be spent on such things as the construction of new roads and recreational facilities, the purchase of new :firefighting equipment and the building of a new library.

Skubnik Wins Tourney The 1988-1989 inter- regional A.W.H.P.A.W.O. closed chess championship ended in a decisive victory for Zbynek Skubnik ( West Hill), a Class A player with a 1908 rating on the Chess Federation of Canada's rating list, who scored 8112 - 1 112 (8 wins, 1 kiss, 1 tie) in the competitive double - round robin event. Mr. Skubnik, a fourth year math and physics stu- dent at the University of Toronto, began the tourna- ment shakily with an early loss to Pickering's Richard Buchan. As well, a tied game with Oshawa's James Holden gave Skub- nik a halfway total of 31; 2 - 1 1;2, but Skubnik turned up the heat in the second half blanking his opponents 5-0. Skubnik's CFC rating is expected to creep closer toward the National Can- didate Master mark of 2000.2199, where he had a fleeting placing in the 1987-1988 season. The fifth A.W.H.P.A.W.O. Closed to be held over five seasons, this tournament marked a breaking point in inter- regional chess history as it was the first `Closed' not to be won by Ermanno Mucignat (West Hill). Mr. Mucignat, with a 1953 rating (Class A) going into the event, was the top seed in this season's Clos- ed, but poor playing form hampered him throughout. Mucignat was next to last with 3-7 ( 3 wins, 7 losses), scoring 14 and 2-3 in the first and second portions of the tourney respectively. As the winner of the tour- nament, Skubnik will have his name engraved on the permanent plaque of the annual A.W.H.P.A.W.O. Closed. He also received a chess book prize for his of forts. Second place in the tourney fell to Chartered Accountant James B. Holden (Oshawa), the third seed of the event with an 1842 rating (Class A), who was well back with 6-4 (5 wins, 3 losses, 2 ties). Holden received a chess book prize for capturing the number two spot. Third place was captured by fourth seed Richard Buchan (Pickering), rated at 1702 (Class B), who scored 5112 - 4112 (5 wins, 4 losses, 1 tie). Holden was the frontrunner in the first half of the Closed with 4-1 but fell back with 2- 3 in the second. Similarly, the Pickering insurance agent started strongly with 3112 - 1 112 but could only make 2-3 in the latter stages. The fifth seed of the tour- nament, Garnet Bugg (Agincourt) rated at 1618 (low Class B), finished last with 2-8 (2 wins, glasses). The city won't have to borrow all the $26.6 million, however. A total of $13.8 trillion will be received in grants from the province, development funds, money given by developers in- stead of providing some services and reserve funds. Of the remaining $12.8 million, the city pays about half from its current budget. The rest of the money will be borrowed.

Ontario Ambassadors Program Launched Three Ontario companies have signed to become the first participants in On- tario's Ambassadors Pro - The Ambassadors Pro- gram brings engineering and architectural graduates from Southeast Asian countries and the People's Republic of China to Ontario for one year of on the job training. The provincial government and eligible Ontario companies share the costs of the pro- gram. The companies involved in the initial venture are Trow Inc., a Brampton - based civil engineering firm; IBM Canada Ltd., of North York; and Bregman Board Of Trade Backs Municipal Election Credits Metro's municipalities should adopt a tax creditlrebate system for municipal election cam- paign contributions, says the Board of Trade of Metropolitan Toronto in a letter to Metro Chairman Alan Tonks, members of Metro Council, and the mayors and members of Metro's six area municipal councils. "At present, a major pro- blem for any candidate running in a municipal election is seeking suffi- cient funding for costly campaigns. The board believes that more citizens would find it financially viable to run for office if a tax credit; rebate system were in place," says Michael Lauber, Chair- man. Ad hoc Committee on Municipal Structure, of The Board of Trade of Metropolitan Toronto. The province last year passed legislation permit- ting a tax credit for cam- paign donations, an option which no Ontario municipality has since im- plemented, because municipalities have not demonstrated a willingness to fund these costs. The Board of Trade argues that, with a tax rebate system in place, more citizens would become candidates and voter awareness of civic issues would increase, thus enhancing the municipal election process. On average, only 35% of those eligible to vote in Metro ex- ercised their right in the 1988 municipal elections. The board corrunended the efforts of the province, but expressed disappoint- ment that neither Metro Council nor any of the six area municipalities within Metro have adopted the system. The board was invited to meet with the City of York's Legislation and Planning Committee to present its views on this issue. A recently establish- ed City of Toronto Task Force on Municipal Elec- tions is also investigating the matter, and may hold public hearings before presenting a final report to City Council. The board's submission has already been directed to that Task Force by City of Toronto Ward 13 Coun- cillor Nadine Nowlan, who has expressed support for the board's position. East York Mayor David Johnson has also agreed with the sentiments contained in the board's proposal. Those who voted in favour of the system when it was first proposed to Toronto City Council in- clude Toronto Mayor Ar- thur Eggleton and Coun- cillors Nadine Nowlan, Kay Gardner, Dale Martin, Jack Layton, Roger Hollander and Joe Pan- talone. Metro Bd. Of Trade Submissions Inflation Protection for Employment Pension Plans Submitted to: The Hon. Murray Elston, MPP, On- tario Minister of Financial Institutions. By: Pension Policy Committee. Date: This would mean that if an unindexed pension were to be reduced by ( for exam- ple) 20% in order to provide for indexing, the plan spon- sor would subsidize a por- tion of that 20% and reduce the pension by, say, 10%. December 14, 1998. In writing to the Ontario Government for the third time on the issue of infla- tion protection for employ- ment pension plans, the board has proposed a plan whereby plan sponsors would be allowed to offer employees an indexed pen- sion on a "subsidized ac- tuarial eauivalent basis". Draft legislation for in- flation protection - in- cluding a formula for in- dexation - will be released early in 1989. The Board will be commenting on the draft legislation as ap- propriate during the 2-3 month consultation period before final legislation is tabled. & Hamann - Architects, of Toronto.

Feb. 15, 1989 Bill Watt's Worlds ON YOUR TOES: One of the measures of greatness in the perform- ing arts is the ability of a principal - star, if you like - to inspire others. As a dancer, the late Fred Astaire had that ability, that quality. All of his part- ners looked good; all ex- celled. Veronica Tennant has this quality and never have we seen it better demonstrated than on the opening night of her final engagement with The Na- tional Ballet as a member of the company. The ballet was Romeo and Juliet and she danced the role virtually created for her. As always she danced superbly and we shall comment on that fur- ther in our review. For now, we wish to comment on some of the other ar- tists. Raymond Smith danced Romeo.

Opposite Miss Tennant, however, and on this night of magic he became truly an artist of first rank. His dancing achieved a whole new elan and his ac- ting was worthy of a straight dramatic produc- tion. He looked like a young man in first real love; not moonstruck or melancholy but filled with wonderment -at the thought of one he loves so truly, returning that love. His eyes actually shone and we do not believe it was because of belladonna. A truly splendid perfor- mance! And consider Tomas Schramek as Mercutio. Here is another dancer who, to our eyes has "always been there"; com- petent and reliable but not really much more than that. Lately he has been essaying character roles. Yet, here he was as the youthful swaggering com- pamon of Romeo in a per- formance equalling and perhaps better than that of Clinton Rothwell who was considered by many to have been the quintessen- tial Mercutio. Mr. Schramek virtually makes the role his own now. with a lopsided grin and an insouciant walk be dances his way into the au- dience's heart and even carries off the difficult HENNESSEY'S RESTAURANT .'For consisterlc,,•• • • LUNCHEONS Srrveradaih from 11 30 a.rn Soup a Salad Bar Soup'n Sandwich .

How good it was too hav- ing George Crum back as conductor! Having been with The National for so long his skill at supporting dancers with full orchestra is wondrous. When Mr. Crum conducts, the or- chestra accompanies the dancers; the dancers don't merely dance to the music. And, we know of no one who can extract fuller melodic sweep and grace out of the Prokofiev score. Welcome back Mr. Crum however briefly. It's good to "let George do it". The evening en fm was Miss Tennant's and we shall not attempt to describe the skill of her en pointe nor her text book ex- tension en hair. Neither can we evoke on paper the radiance of her expression on stage. We say merely that she was triumphant and even more. she included the company in her glory - A wonderful evening albeit tinged with sadness. DINNER THEATRE: The current production at Stage West Theatre Restaurant is Beehive star- ring Mary Wilson, the founder of The Supremes and the one who should have occupied the star statues of Diana Ross. It's a good show with arguably the best pro- duction values of any of the shows to date. We have this niggling feeling, however, that it might not be the sort of thing that Stage West regulars will ap- preciate. As mention- ed here previously it is intended as a salute to the female popular music singers of the sixties. The first act is most enjoyable. The music of the early to mid six- ties while busy, maybe even frenetic, was happy music and in- tricate in its presenta- tion. As the decade passed away, 4 however, the protest songs - protest against the discipline inherent in music - began to appear and it is featured in the se- cond act. While admiring the ar- tistry of the performers one cannot always accept the intended tributes. We con- tinue to deplore the glorification, for example, of Janis Joplin. While not wishing to speak ill of the departed, it must be stated that she was little more than a trollop who wasted her substance. We suspect that many regulars share our thought Still, one doesn't or shouldn't throw out the baby with the bath water and there is much to ad- mire in Beehive. All of the singers are file and one can't really say that any one singer is better than any other. In addition to Mary Wilson, there are Anna Louise Beaumont, Sandra Caldwell, Denese Mathews, Frances Flanagan and Rhonda Trodd. They sing the songs made popular by and in the manner of such as Leslie Gore. Connie Francis, An- nette Funicello, Petula Clark. Brenda Lee, Dusty Springfield, Aretha Franklin and others in- cluding. eluding, of corse, Janis Joplin. We particularly enjoyed Rhonda Trodd as Brenda Lee and even, grudgingly, as Janis Joplin. Denese Matthews does a great Tina Turner and we were much taken by Sandra Caldwell. The orchestra at fust sounds a little like the Ar- chie Stone pit band from the old Casino but gets down to it in due cause with great saxophone work by David Babcock. We im- agine that Mr. Babcock doesn't know the name Heinie Beau but his sax- ophone work is much like that of the late Tommy Dorsey reed man. Well done Mr. Babcock. So too is Beehive. It's a well done production and one that cannot fail to be appreciated. Whether one will enjoy it however, is up to the individual. Speaking of thin well done, said he ever so slyly, the Stage West roast beef is carved as you request it . . well done, rare, medium rare and all delicious as are all of the buffet selec- tions. OFF THE WALL: Art is the gift of God and must be used unto His glary. Longfellow wrote that and this scribbler does not gainsay.

Often that one meal is unbalanced, and their metabolism levels are so low from lack of solid nutri- tion, that their bodies have learned to burn calories at an extremely slow rate. Anyone who has lost weight on a good, healthy, safe diet has usually done so by learning to eat pro- perly. Losing weight often imearns learning to eat more food. Good nutritious food, in sensible anoints, eaten at healthy intervals is the key to losing weight. Main- taining that attitude and those habits is the key to keeping weight off. After a diet, many people immediately revert to old eating habits. It's not tragic that makes weight reappear quickly, it's habit. "'nue successful way to maintain a desired weight is to ease ourselves out of a diet," says Lud- wick. "We all know this, but how do we do it'„ Weight Watchers' members who have achiev- ed their ideal weight follow a six week maintenance plan that allows them to add a sensible amount of food to their diet each week while meeting the nutri- tional needs of their bodies.

Once people reach their ideal weight, they often believe that the number on the scale will never trove upward. If it does, they think that they are a failure - that they're on their way back up to top weight. In fact, weight may fluc- tuate between one and fair Pounds daily depending on such factors as the time of a day a person on the scale, sodium intake, when they last ate, and for women, the stage of their menstrual cycle. Basically the simple rule is to plats food choices in advance. Let's face it, if you love chocolate cake it is moble to assume you will never be able to taste it again. It is reasonable, however, to understand that if you are going to have a piece of cake, say after dinner, then You must pian for it during the day. Also remember that be- ing at ideal weight involves a mind set. It is better to eat good healthy food than to subsist on junk food, and it is better to eat to the point of satisfaction than to uncomfortable over- fuUness. "With discipline, and good understanding of how we became overweight in the first place," says Lud- w+ick, "anyone can stay at ideal weight. An important point to remember, too, is that foods and recipes that were enjoyed while dieting may still be enjoyed after- wards." For Cadillac pink Buick.

Queen's Park Report from Norah Stoner MPP Durham West Proposed revisions to the Power Corporation Act, in- troduced by Energy Minister Bob Wong, will make Ontario Hydro more responsive to the Government's policies and priorities. The revised Act and a new Memorandum of Understan- ding between the Government and Hydro feature a new system of reporting between the utility and government. They also require Hydro to conduct its planning in accor- dance with government policies. The changes are designed to make sure that Hydro opera- tions remain consistent with government priorities in areas such as electricity conservation, environmental protection, parallel generation and provincial economic development. Mr. Wong said the Government has made changes where it identified a need for change and the package represents the essence of responsible legislation. One change concerns Hydro's response to policy statements from the Energy Minister. "Government now has the authority to require Hydro to submit its plans and reports for review," Mr. Wong said. He said the government is also improving Hydra's responsiveness by ensuring that future appointments to the utility's Board of Directors, including the position of Chair- man, are reviewed by a legislative committee. "The proposed package clearly establishes the Govern- ment's role to outline the policy framework within which the utility operates," Mr. Wong said. The Minister added that the new Memorandum of Understanding and the amendments acknowledge the areas in which Hydro already excels, while recognizing that it is a public utility and that the government has a responsibility to make sure that Hydro's activities serve the public interest. Mr. Wong said the amendments are not the end of the government's commitment to improve Hydro's respon- siveness to government policies and public priorities. Mr. Wong said the new relationship will be monitored on an ongoing basis and further amendments will be con- sidered, as necessary, in the best interests of the people of Ontario. The Ontario Legislature's Standing Committee on Resources Development will be holding more than four weeks of public hearings, beginning later this month, on proposed legislation amending the Workers' Compensation Act. The amendments are aimed at making the Act fairer to employees and employers and Rare effective in helping in- jured workers return to work. Labour Minister Gregory Sorbara introduced Bill 162, An Act to Amend the Workers' Compensation Act, in October. Included in the proposed amendments are provisions to create a dual -award system for workers with permanent disabilities as a result of workplace injuries. According to the Labour Ministry, the twoArach approach will compen- sate workers for both noneconomic lass and loss of earn - Awards for non -economic loss would vary and take into account a worker's degree of disability and age at the time of injury. The maximum would be $65,000. The worker's earning capacity before and after an injury will be com- pared to establish the level of earnings -kiss benefits. In introducing the amendments, Mr. Sorbara said, " Tbese reforms will bring certainty to workers' compensa- tion in Ontario. "Under the old system. if compensation for workers who suffered a permanent partial disability happened to match their loss of earnings, it was purely coincidental, The new system will compensate workers for the financial loss they suffer as a result of a workplace injury. It will also explicit- ly recognize for the first time the non -economic lasses suf- fered as a result of injuries in the workplace. - A greater emphasis on the goal of helping injured workers rettra to the workplace more successfully and earlier will be fostered by the legislation Sorbam said the amendments also place obligations on the Workers' Compensation Board to intervene eady and effectively after a workplace injury with vocational rehabilitation assessment and appropriate services and on employers to ter -instate injured workers in their jobs, to provide comparable empioyment, or to provide the first op- portunity of sintabie employment. Excluded from these provisions are small businesses with fewer than 20 employees, and industries, such as construction, where work patterns make re -instatement impractical. The approximately 120,000 injured workers who are already getting permanent pensions will continue to receive them. Tbe amount will continue to be tax-free and will increase every year with the cost of living. About 20,000 injured workers whose pensions have been particularly in- adequate will be eligible to receive a supplement. Among the scheduled locations for the Committee public hearings are Oshawa on February 21st and Toronto on February 27th and March 6th. Although the deadline for making appointments to appear before the Committee has passed, written submissions will be accepted until the end of March. They can be sent to Lynn Mellor, Committee Clerk, Standing Committee on Resources Development, Room 1544, Whitney Block, Queen's Park, Toronto, Ontario. M7A L42. An information booklet on the proposed amendments can be obtained by calling Mike at my Queen's Park office at 965-1929. Tbe Labour Minister has also committed to publish a Green Paper this year that will treat other important issues related to the workers' compensation system in Ontario. These issues will include concerns about the adjudicative system in and around the W.C.B., the implications of the W.C.B. on small business, and the special circumstances related to the identification and compensation of industrial disease.
