Mar. 1, 1889 opinion a page for expression for you and us Expo 2000 by Bob Watson At a meeting this week Metro Chairman Alan Tonks and Expo 2000 directors Murray Beynon and Hans Jensen an- nounced their plans to put Expo 2000 into action. The fantastic proposal would generate sufficient revenues, the promoters say, to completely renovate the CNE and Ontario Place sites and build new facilities there. In addition, revenues from the world exposition would cover all operating costs. Toronto is now in the final competition with Hanover, Germany and Venice, Italy for this world's fair in the year 2000, but officials feel that Canada's reputation is so high that we will get the final nod. It is estimated that a Toronto world's fair would handle 58 million visits comfortably over the six months period of ex- po. And this is where we begin to doubt the statistics. The dome stadium hasn't opened yet and many of us believe that downtown traffic flow will be impossible whether peo- ple use transit or autos. Then to add on the six months of an expo in the same area of the dome doesn't add up to possible flow of people to the big event. Organizers point out that 75 million people live within range of Toronto which would give it the best advan- tage over the two competitors in Europe. But what about the movement of people into this downtown core' Can't you see a Blue Jays game and Expo on at the same time? We hope the organizers are very accurate. Go tell it m the podium Ontario Hydro employees filled almost 600 requests for speakers to audiences across the province in 1988. Volunteer Ontario Hydro staff addressed over 31,000 peo- ple last year on subjects ranging from electrical safety to nuclear power, from environmental issues to electricity op - bons for future generations. 1st Ukrainian Concordance Four years ago a young Albertan university student was preparing for a career in the computer industry - in soft- ware development. The more he studied, the more he began to see the vast potential of this God-given tool. As God often does in our lives. He had been preparing Philip Ewing for an important task even before he began attending the University of Alberta. Although not from Ukrainian ancestry, Ewing, who grew up in Three Hills, AB, and in Edmonton, had long had a desire to help Ukrainian Christians. Says Ewing, "I cannot think of any specific influence on my life which carred this interest, and can only attribute it to something placed in my heart by God. " In any case, three very important pieces of knowledge converged an his life simultaneously. The power of com- puters, the lack of a Bible concordance in Ukraine and a millennial anniversary during 1968. In 988 Prince Vladimir of Kiev proclaimed Christianity the official religion of his state. A thousand years later the entire Soviet Union is celebrating this anniversary. In celebration of this anniversary a Ukrainian Bible con- cordance has just come off the press. Ewing's personal gift to the Christians in Ukraine - but now not his alone. As the concordance project mushroomed from the day of its incep- tion, many People joined the dream. GLINT (Canada), the missionary arm of Gospel Light Publishing, adopted this project, raised funds and hired personnel to get the job done. In addition Ukrainians around the world donated funds, time and language skills. Using his computer skills Ewing initially 'taught' his Ap- ple 2+ home computer to 'speak' Ukrainian. (The Ukrai- nian language uses cyrillic characters and has 33 letters in the alphabet rather than our 36.) Then, with the help of a government grant, two Ukrainian university students typed the entire Ula ainian Bible into the computer. They were subsequently joined by others - including Dr. Edward Burstynsky, professor of Linguistics at the Unviersity of Toronto - who helped with proofreading and editing. Ewing developed a program which took the Ukrainian Bi- ble (on computer diskettes) and sorted every word into con- cordance format. IBM Canada Ltd., Ewing's employer, has taken a great interest in this project. They donated time of their main frame computers for the compiling of the con- cordance from the Bible text. "To North Americans, who can choose between several concordances, this gift may seem very insignificant," says Ewing, "but to the Christians in Ukraine this is the very first time they will have such a Bible Study tool." Happy Anniversary, Ukraine. From Canada, with love. ICKA�n,i WSJ - o s t Published every Wednesday by Watson Publishing Company Limited, Est. 1950 Postal Address: Box 111, Agincourt, Ont.

Opinion On Meech Lake Dear Sir: Canada will be less democratic if the Meech Lake Accord becomes an amendment to the Constitution Act, 19M Presently, the House of Commons, with the support of seven provinces comprising 50% of Canada's population, can amend our constitution by adopting a resolution with respect to: 1. the method of selecting Senators, 2, number of senators representing a province, 3. powers of the Senate, 4. establishment of new provinces and S. method of selecting Supreme Court Judges. The Senate can at most delay such amendments for 180 days if the Hale of Commons again adopts the resolution. Clause 9 of the Meech Lake Accord will require unanimous consent of a resolution from Canada's ten pro- vinces. Canada needs elected senators; balanced regional representation; increased powers of the Senate in regional economic matters; the Yukon and N.W.T. as new pro- vinces; and a method of appointing Supreme Court Judges more like that of the U.S.A. Traditionally, Ontario has been "at odds" with most other provinces to such constitutional initiatives. Conse- quently, unanimous consent to amendments are unlikely under the Meech Lake Accord. Sincerely, Elmer G. Wiens Vancouver, B.C. Award Julie Pollard, a grade 10 student at Scarborough's Alternative Scarborough Education II ( ASE II) , has won the prestigious Harry Jerome Award presented by the Toronto Black Business and Professional Association. Julie, a public school stu- dent, won for her outstan- ding achievements and promise of future distinc- tion m both the academic and creative arts categories. The national awards are given annually to Canadian residents for their con- tribution to Canadian socie- ty. Recipients are between the ages of 16 and 24, ex- cept in the community ser- vice category, where there is no age limit. The award, in honour of great Canadian athlete Harry Jerome, who died in December, 1982, is non- competitive and non - monetary, and is presented in four categories, in- cluding academics, athletics, community ser- vice, and creative arts. The award will be presented Mar. 11 at the Toronto Harbour Castle Westin Convention Centre. In 1984, Mark Holness, a graduate of Scarborough's Cedarbrae Collegiate In- stitute, received a Harry Jerome Award for academic excellence. Previous winners include Kevin Pugh, principal Study Development Impact by Gay Abbate Scarborough Council has undertaken an ambitious $325,000 study to determine the impact on the roads system of a number of ma- jor developments. The study will evaluate the impact on existing roads as well as the future transportation demands caused by the new develop- ment. It will concentrate on the area bounded by Mc- Cowan Rd., Sheppard Ave. E., Morningside Ave. and Ellesmere Rd. Entitled the Milner Ave. Corridor and Malvern Gateway Transportation Study, the Malvern Gateway is a proposed transfer facility for pedstrians, cars, the TTC, GO and an extended RT in the Markham Rd. and Milner Ave. area. The Gateway area extends from Sheppard south to Progress Ave. and from Markham Rd. to just east of the Ontario Hydro Cor- ridor. Council has approved several large developments on Milner Ave. which will dump a significant amount of traf- fic onto the McCowan and Milner Ave. and Milner and Markham Rd. intersec- tions. One project is the $250 million International Trade Centre already approved for the southeast corner of McCowan Rd. and Milner Ave. It includes con- dominiums, a hotel, offices w4 showrooms. 'Another Milner Ave. pro- ject is the $45 million Konka Development half way between Milner and Markham. As well, the federal -owned land on the east side of Markham at Sheppard has been sold and will likely be developed thus increasing traffic. Community input will be included in the study which is being funded by Scar- borough and the province paying $145,000 and i180,00o respectively. The consultant is the firm of McCormick Rankin Con- sulting Engineers - dancer with the -National Ballet of Canada, and civil rights activist Dr. Carrie Best of Nova Scotia. A Way To A Happy New Year To leave the old with a burst of song, To recall the right and forgive the wrong, To forget the thing that binds you fast To the vain regrets of the year that's past, To have the strength to let go your hold Of the not -worth -while of the days grown old; To dare go forth with a purpose true, To the unknown task of the year that's new; To help your brother along the road To do his work and lift his load; To add your gift to the world's good cheer Is to have and to give a glad New Year.

Mar. 1. 1989 THE NEWS/POST Page 3 Community Involvement The Scarborough Board of Education is seeking in- put from city residents and groups on community in- volvement in Scarborough's public schools. A board -appointed task force will study community involvement by holding public hearings on Feb. 27 and Mar. 1 to gather infor- mation from the communi- ty. The task force is com- prised of board, staff, city, and community represen- tatives. Recommendations from the Task Force on Com- munity Involvement will be used by the board to develop a policy designed to him. Fire Chief Tom Powell said he was disappointed at the budget cuts. He said he will try to get committee and council to reconsider. Last month the addi- tional staff was approved by the Building, Fire and Legislation Committee after a day -long review. Powell told that committee that the new staff was needed to address last year's bottleneck. "We're not even addressing the 1969 bottleneck," he said. to "promote the ap- propriate and effective in- volvement of the communi- ty in Scarborough public schools," says Jim Far- quhar, associate superintendent, Student and Community Services Department. The Scarborough board "has always promoted meaningful participation of the community in Scar- borough's public schools," says Mr. Farquhar, who adds that the hearings and new policy will "give us some sense of what com- munity involvement is all about." Scarborough residents interested in appearing at the hearing or in making a written submission should contact Grace McCulloch, secretary for the task force, at 396-7654. The hear- ings will be held at the Education Centre, 140 Borough Dr., Scarborough, from 1:30 to 5 p.m., Feb. 27, and 1:30 to 7 p.m., Mar. 1.

Adopts Hospital West Hill Colle®iiate has broken new ground by be- ing the first secondary school in Scarborough to become involved in an Adopt -a -School program. On May 11, 19M a ceremony took place at the school which officially kicked off the relationship between West Hill and Centenary Hospital - a pro- gram they have dabbed Partners in the Commum- ty.. The idea started with Business Studies Director Brian Bell who attended the District 16 Community Outreach Conference last year and sat in on the adopt -a -school workshop. The leader of that workshop was Mandy Thompson who beads up the adopt -a -school pro- gram for the North York Board Brian called her and talked about the possibility for such a pro- ject at his school. Brian then brought together some teachers and student leaders in the school in order to explain the idea. They were sup- portive and made many in- teresting suggestions as to the direction this program could take. Brian then made a presentation to the Public Relations Committee at Centenary and received their stamp of approval. There have always been informal links between the school mrd the neighbour- ing hospital - students in- volved as candy stripers; performances at the hospital by the music department. student and staff involvement in the I01K Centenary Rn. Already the students have raised $3000 for an electronic weigh scale for the pediatric department. As well, the hospital diabetic area offered a special clinic to 35 Family Studies students, and a senior chemistry class visited one of the lab areas for observation and ex- planation - On May 19 the hospital enlisted the services of 40 West Hui drama students as "victims" in a realistic Mock Disaster Drill. Principal Barry Truscott feels that a concerted effort am the part of the West Ifill staff and student body will be required to keep the pip gang. He is confident, however, that there is now enough in- terest and enthusiasm on staff to ensure future suc- cess. He is also very pleas- ed with the response of the students.

'Metro Board Of Trade Policy Submissions The Board "A Step Ahead" In International Trade Education Submitted: Dr. William Saywell, President and Vice Chancellor, Simon Fraser University and Allan Taylor, Chairman. Royal Bank of Canada. By: Education Committee. Date: December 9, 1988. A year and a half before being published, a joint sub conunittee of the board's International Trade and Education Committee members arrived at many of the same conclusions as those in "Going Global - Meeting the Need for Inter- national Business Exper- tise in Canada". In a letter to the Co•Chairmen of the Corporate Higher Educa- tion Forum, the board responded to their first recommendation that it enter "into immediate discussions with one or more major business associations". The board indice6ed it would be most pleased to meet forum of- ficials to discuss the lack of international trade educa- tion, an issue in which the board has been especially active. Reducing Industrial Pollu- tion Discharged to Sewers Submitted to: The Hon. Jim Bradley. MPP. Ow tario Minister of the En- vironment. By: En- vironmental Quality Com- mittee. Date: December 14. 1966. Reducing industrial pollution discharged to sewers is part of a province wide program called Municipal Industrial Strategy for Abatement (MISA) which is aimed at eleminating contaminants from our waterways. The board supports the MISA objective but recommends a broader representation of affected industries on government technical com- mittees, established to determine contaminant levels and future regula- tions. POLICY IN ACTION Ontario Minister of Skills Development Encouraged by Board's Apprenticeship Submission In its second submission this year on apprenticeship training, the board appeal- ed to the Hon. Barbara McDougall, Federal Minister of Employment and Immigration and the Hon. Alvin Curling, Ontario Minister of Skills Develop- ment, to settle the ongoing debate concerning appren- ticeship funding. InMr. Curling's response, he stated that he was ap- preciative and encouraged by the board's position on the replacement of Unemployment Insurance as income support for ap- prentices and the need for long term resolution of ap- pr,enticeship funding isstm through broad-based con- sultation. Ontario Minister of IIa- dustry Trade and Technology Promises Effi- ciency Improvements, Deficit Reduction Commenting on the board's response to the 1988 Ontario Budget, Industry, Trade and Technology Minister Monte Kwinter argued that the provincial government has made ..Substantial progress" in reducing the budgetary deficit while increasing spending in those areas which had been "victims of serious underfunding". The Minister also stated that it is "necessary - and responsible - to simultaneously increase revenues" as well as reduce expenditures, in order to reduce the deficit. This was in contrast to the concern expressed in the board's submission, that the recently imposed tax measures were un- necessary in view of the economy's recent growth. Ontario Health Minister Rejects User Fees In response to the board's provincial post budget submission, Ontario Health Minister Elinor Caplan pointed out that user fees are not permitted under the 1964 Canada Health Act, and moreover indicated that such fees "deter .. the poor and the elderly from seeking health care when it is needed". In its submission, the board wrote that.. "greater equi- ty in the distribution of the cost of ( Ontario's social programs) could be achiev- ed by incorporating an els meat of "user -pay" in these services .. with ap- propriate exemptions for low income groups." Federal Finance Minister Responds to Board's Pro- posals for Modifying Tax Rules for Retirement Sav- Ina Dec. 1st letter to the board, Finance Minister Michael Wilson expressed a number of concerns with respect to the board's pro- posed system of tax assistance for retirements savings. He felt that it would result in "very large revenue costs" as com- pared to the government's proposed system and would not appreciably improve fairness and equity in the system. The board's con- cern was that the govern- ment's proposed new rules would add `complexity and confusion in a way which is totally out of proportion to the need for fairness and equity" in the retirement savings system. The im- plementation of the new system of pension and RRSP limits has been postponed for one year, at the urging of the board and other organisations. Experts Predict Economic Trends for 1989 On Dec. 1st the board hosted its 17th Annual Business Outlook Seminar, with three outstanding North American economists in attendance: Mr. Russel Sheldon, Vice President and Senior Economist for the Mellon Bank in Pittsburgh: Mr. George Vasic, Director of Economics for Data Resources Canada: and Ms. Maureen Farrow, President of the C. D. Howe Institute. All three express- ed concern over rising government deficits and the near record duration of the current economic ex- pansion, which could point to a recession by the early 1990's.

M R Il v 267-9241 s 4 E ^1 Around and A bou a Your Dining & Entertainment Guide About the best that can be said of this work by one William Forsythe is that it's not as bad as Desrosier's Blue Snake nor as good as Grossman's Thrivin' On A Riff. And, if that isn't damning with faint praise we don't know what is! Our notes tell us that For- sythe "is far from a com- fortable choreographer", that "he likes to take our conceptions of dance and turn them upside down". On the evidence of Steptext, it is his carp tion of dance that needs re- evaluation. What, after all, is one to make of something that features -no, wastes four fine dancers by having them perform movements that are little more than those of boy scouts learning semaphore. Those who share fleet air arm ex- perience might feel that the four look rather more like a landing deck crew on the old Maggie. What ever, these fine young e do not look like dancers and Steptext most certainly does not look like a ballet. Out with it' Balanchine's Concerto Barocco is always a delight and it was well served by the trio of Karen Kain, Rex Harrington and Gizella Witkowsky. In its time, the works of Balanchine were considered and indeed were avant garde but Mr. Balanchine never forgot that his principal thrust was the glorification of dance movements. His sets were spartan but the values of dance were never diminished. The difference between concerto Barocco is as the difference between day and night; the difference bet- ween a driven genius and a charlatan. Harald Lander's Etudes is another work of abiding beauty and was the final work of the evening. Yoko Ichino continues to become better and better - do we dare suggest that she is the natural successor to Veronica Tennant? - and on this occasion her partners were Kevin Pugh and Fer- nando Bujones. Each is a superb dancer but the puri- ty of their work is such that one does not outshine another while retaining in- dividual impact. The caps was in fine form and one once again was aware of the latent power of Pierre Quinn. All in all, not a brad even- ing.

Fishing for any type of fish including salmon is prohibited in these areas which are well marked with "No Fishing„ signs Many of the persons charged were found fishing with illegal equipment. Snagging devices designed with hooks that impale fish in places other than the mouth were seized as well as an array of other devices adapted to catch fish. Officers seized a jungle machete, a .22 calibre rifle and several types of homemade spears. In one case, five persons were ar- rested as they were about to leave the river with 150 lbs. of speared salmon The officers intend to continue their enforcement efforts on the Credit River throughout the winter. Anglers contemplating fishing in this area are urg- ed to consult the Ontario Fishing Regulations Sum- mary, or the Maple District, Ministry of Natural Resources' office at 4164132-2761, in order to avoid straying into the fish sanctuary areas.

Ermanno Mucignat ( West Hill) was re-elected once again to remain as president but this time was opposed for the position by James B. Oshawa (Oshawa). Mucignat won by about a 213 margin. Holden was elected first vice-president, Richard O. Buchan (Pickering) was elected second vice- president while Rolf A Steinbach (Pickering) won the third vice-presidential post. John W. Puusa ( West Hill), was re-elected unanimously as secretary - treasurer and retains addi- tional duties as tournament coordinator and chief tour- nament director of the in- terregional A.W.H.P.A.W.O. tourna- ment circuit. In further election results, Eugene Pirko ( West Hill) and 17 -year old Junior Colin Dale ( West Hill) were elected as Members without Port- folio. Alexander N.

Some of the events are swimming, ringette, box- ing, gymnastics, figure skating, skiing and hockey.
