Mr. Wrye was respon- ding to a question in the On- tario Legislature Wed. March 1st, from Durham West MPP Norah Stoner. Mrs. Stoner said two re- cent incidents involving ski lifts at Dagmar Ski Resort have raised concerns among parents and educators about safety. In one case, an 11 year old girl was injured after falling from a chair lift at Dagmar while on a school outing in January. Reports indicate the safety bar on the chair would not come down. In the second incident, a seven and a half year old boy had to be held by another youth to keep from falling 40 to 50 feet to the ground from a chair lift. Apparently he was not loaded property on the four -seat lift and began slipping out of the chair. When the lift stopped near the end of the run, the boy fell about 15 feet to the ground. The injuries to these chilod en were not serious. Stoner asked Mr. Wrye what action his Ministry is taking to investigage these incidents and what can be done to prevent similar oc- currences in the future. Mrs. Stoner pointed out that educators, parents and students want the program to continue. The Minister told the Legislature an inspector Getting Stic With the arrival of spring weather in Durham Region, thousands of local school children are visiting Purple Woods Conserva- tion Area to learn about maple syrup. Students learn about Indian, pioneer, and modern methods of syrup produc- tion during their hour-long tour of the sugarbush. Each pupil attending the demonstration receives a 25 ml sample bottle of maple syrup. These visits are part of the conservation authority's conservation area community program. Most of the classes which attend are grade two level, since basic Canadian history is taught at this stage. The aim of the tours is to give the students a first- hand `feel' for life back in C� SAVE UP TO 40% ON NEXT MONTHS PHONE BILL! THIS PHONE IS THE MOST NTc PREFERRED PHONE IN CANADA!

He said the work of the operators was also monitored for a period of time and "found to be in ac- cordance with the kind of safety we would want". Mr. Wrye also pointed ky Fingers At the Indian and pioneer days. Maple syrup serves as a convenient theme to focus the children's atten- tion on a number of historical topics. Approximately 6000 students will visit the con- servation area between Mar. 6th and Apr. 13th. Most of these tours are already booked. However teachers who wish to en- quire about a reservation are asked to telephone the authority office at 5790411. A fee of ;1 per student will be charged, payable in advance. The public is welcome to visit the sugarbush on the weekends of Mar. 11 and 12, Mar. 24 to 27, and Apr. 1 and 2, and during the week of Mar. 13 to 17.

The concerns pertain to methane gas seepage to abutting homeowners whose residences contain a crawl space and no base- ment. At a meeting on Mar. 6th, Pickering Council resolved that it request the Ministry of the Environment to pro- vide it and the abutting lan- downers with a copy of any Ministry of Environment studies on air, water quali- ty- and leaching at the Beare Road Landfill Site, and also that a current st udv on air quality be con- ducted and its findings Made available.

Mar. 15, 1989 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Killing The Economy by Bob Watson There seems to be some wild notion at the Bank of Canada and among other theoretical economists that we must have higher interest rates "to curb inflation". This weekly power exerted by the Bank of Canada seems to be aimed at Metro Toronto but is being applied to all of Canada. Yes, the economy of Metro Toronto is booming - but what does one expect when $100 billion of Hong Kong capital gets invested into our area. The answer is not to throw cold water over the economy because that is when the small business person and the lower income householder gets kill- ed economically. The "big shots" of finance will simply move their assets around to avoid a problem. The Canadian government has a debt of $325 billion, which has been growing year after year and it is time Ot- tawa bites the bullet and begins to pay off this huge debt. Even reducing $5 billion a year would rescue our status in the world of finance as well as reducing interest charges. Ottawa - stop dishing out cash to everyone for votes and face the sober facts - we have to pay down our national debt 1. Those Blue Boxes Dear Sir: Whoopee: Scarborough gets its Blue Box in June and for the difference of .99t it's to be made in Quebec rather than in a Scarborough Plant made by Scarboro resident tax- payers - Councillor John Wardrope considered the extra few cents could not be justified. Does he feel the large dollars raise (48% � they have given themselves ,justified? When council gives contracts to be completed outside our own city, it's doubtful they are worth the Salary they received let alone 48% raise. The Scarborough company say they will replace damag- ed boxes, there will no doubt be plenty. if they are to receive the treatment plastic pails have received by the handless over the years. They have been tossed all over the place and just left. On windy days they will land on the roadway and like the garbage pail. run over by the cars, trucks, and bases if you happen to be on their route. With this kind of council justification makes for the tax payer to ask for their resignation before they cast any more stupidity. Will Quebec residents send their Thanks Scar- borough m Eng) ish or French and before you answer does it matter. Yes it does. A. Brown West Hill Keep Christian Culture For a hundred years Ontario has been ruled by the ma- jority of votes cast by electors. Ontario has also been a Christian Society. As a part of that Christian culture we have had our schools open the day with an appeal to God by morning praver. Now a group of three people from alien cultures and alien religions have had the arrogance to demand that the six million Christians in Ontario shall be restricted and not be allowed to open the school day for our children in the man- ner we have followed for a hundred years. Never before in history have three people from an alien culture been able to dictate to six million people how, or how not. they may. or may not. conduct their worship of God. Never before in history have the rulers of six million people been so insipid as to allow three people to dictate the laws for the six million people. And never before has any judiciary been so insipid that they would inflict the dictates of three people on the six million majority. Never before in any country have fifty thousand Christian teachers been ruled by the arrogant dictates of three people of alien religions. What are we going to do about it? I suggest that we simp- ly ignore the ruling and that every one of the fifty thousand teachers open the school day by prayer, preferably the Lord's prayer, as we have done for a hundred years. There are thousands of laws on the books which are out of date, or for some other reason are not applicable any more and are simply ignored. This ruling is one that should be ignored right from the start. Yours respectfully, Frank Southern Sudbury, Ont. news ".ost Published every Wednesday by Watson Publishing Company Limited.

The car seats, manufactured by Totkins Bo -Peep Inc. of Toronto between Jan. 1, 1966 and June 31, 1986 were missing the two backing plates for rivets used to secure the tongue of the crotch strap to the abdominal shield. In a collision, the rivets could pull through the plastic abdominal shield and this could result in a child being ejected from the seat or strangled if the harness became entangled around the child's neck. Host A Foreign Student Intercultune Canada, a not for profit, chan table organiza- tion administering international exchange programs, has officially launched its 1989-90 host family recruitment cam- paign.

New Record Demand in December A new record for electricity consumption was reached in December, 1988. At 5:30 p.m. on Monday, December 12, peak demand for electricity reached 2300 megawatts. This record peak was 12 percent higher than the highest demand recorded in December of 1987. Two generating units returned to service last fall and con- tributed to meeting this record electricity requirement. Unit 2 at Pickering nuclear generating station is producing power again following replacement of its fuel carrying pressure tubes. And oil fired Lennox unit 4 began operation on November 29. The unit had been mothballed in 1980. Total generation of electricity in Ontario in December was 12.7 million megawatt hours, seven percent more than in December last year. Statfacts Scarborough Board Gives Up Its Fight On Language by Gay Abbate The Scarborough Board of Education has finally given up its fight against heritage language. At its meeting last week, the board refused to sup- port a motion asking the province to scrap its pro- posed mandatory heritage language program. David Horrox, who in- troduced the motion, was only able to persuade two colleagues to support him - Barbara Fava and Helena Nielsen. The Scarborough board has traditionally refused requests to provide heritage language classes. It does, however, provide space to groups who want to offer their own classes. Last October, the provin- cial ministries of education and citizenship announced a mandatory heritage language program for all school boards as of this fall. To date, the legislation making it law has not yet been passed. Horrox argued that by :Waking heritage language lasses mandatory, the arovince was denying boards their local autonomy. "To lie down and without a word of ob- jection accept an edict which further reduces the ability of this board to determine how best resources should be deployed in providing educational opportunity for an increasingly diverse population of school-age children is wrong, " he said. But Bill Travis said sup- porting the motion was "fueling the flames of in- tolerance". He said the board should concern itself with issues of more impor- tance such as dealing with school drop outs and ensur- ing the board prepares its students for the 21st cen- tury. Ruth Haehnel said the board should admit it lost the fight and get on with other things. Barbara Fava said the $73 million the province plans to pour into heritage language classes would be better spent on the English as a Second Language Pro- gram which teaches English to students and adults.

Here and There Darlington Construction The reactor assembly for unit 4 at Darlington nuclear generating station was rolled into place in December, and preparations will begin for installation this year. The assembly will be the centre of the nuclear unit. It stands 40 feet high, weighs approximately 600 tons, and will hold the channels containing the uranium fuel. Unit 4 is the final unit under construction at Darlington and is to be operating in 1992. Excess Electricity Earns Money Last year Ontario Hydro sold almost 5 million megawatt hours of electricity to United States utilities. These exports earned $45 million in net revenues. Statfacts Self-employment was prevalent among those engaged in fishing and farming. It was also common for persons in the artistic, literary and recreation fields and among sales per- sonnel and workers in construction trades. There were 116,000 paid workers in 1986 who also held a second job in which they were self-employed. For a large proportion of self-employed workers, working at multiple The U.S. Middle Atlantic region, New York, New Jersey jobs is the rule rather than the exception. and Pennsylvania, was the top destination for Canadians Canadians took close to 45 million trips to the United making overnight or longer U.S. trips in 1987, Statistics States during 1987, and about two-thirds of those were day Canada figures show. The three states drew almost one- trips - less than 24 hours. One reason, a Statistics Canada quarter of these Canadian visitors. The Pacific region drew study shows, was that auto gasoline prices were lower than 18% and the New England states 14%. Canadian prices by up to 16 cents a litre in some places.

Lewis saw The Joker Is Wild, the motion picture based loosely on his life, he remarked "If I'd known I was going to be eulogized, I'd have done the decent thing and died." The line springs easily to mind on first viewing of Marvin, Dream of a Lifetime currently playing at Emerson's ( 508 trendy Queen Street, West) . As the title suggests, it's the story in music - his music - of Marvin Gaye who died tragically on Apr. 1st, 1984 when shot by his deranged father. We have no idea how ac- curate it is. If it is com- pletely true, then his life was indeed a true tragedy. We suspect, however, that some rough edges have been smoothed out and that Marvin Gaye was simply - simply! - another musician frustrated by not being allowed to sing the music he wanted and even, need- ed. He was not a plaster saint though he was often plastered thanks to his dear friend Dom Perignon. That said and out of the way, let it be trumpetted out that song for song and performance by perfor- mance Marvin, Dream of a Lifetime might just be the best dollar for dollar value show currently on view in Toronto. To be honest, although we were aware of the man we were unaware of Mar- vin Gaye's works and his performance of them. We are now aware, however, of Dutch Robinson who plays him and unhesitatingly declare him a star of first magnitude. He is a big man of ready smile, smooth moves and a voice capable of the vocal gymnastics we understand were previously the sole (soul?) domain of Marvin Gaye. He takes his songs - we wish the program would list them - and delivers them with a special magic that enthralls. We are prepared to accept the word of other first nighters that he is as good as and ART SALE UPTO 50% OFF j Huge Clearance Artists - Campbell, Hunter, Seerey-Lester, j Lesperance, Lyman, Gertenbach, and many others.

Address...................................... Around and Abou a Your Dining &Entertainment Guide possibly better than the role's inspiration. He is more than just a fine singer/musician however. He is also an ex- cellent actor. His anguish over a lost love, a harsh parent and what he con- siders to have been a possi- ble wasted life jumps the footlights and envelops the audience. We were not the only one in Emerson's try- ing to blink back tears though we were probably the only one unsuccessful. We couldn't really tell because we had prudently put on our dark glasses. Also along is Walter Borden who serves as a sometime nar- rator,chorus. Cast in the mould of a Brian Epstein he is frighteningly ac- curate in his portrayal of a man of little talent but ap- preciative of those with a gift from God. He is a latter day Sal ieri and one weeps for him. Still, one should not give the impression that this is a sad slow. Thanks to the in- spired and inspiring musical adaptation and ar- rangements of Kathleen Dyson who is also one mean singer, the show troves briskly and with alacrity. The balance of the cast double on instruments and such is the power of the ensemble playing that one cannot single out anyone musician. Must say though that we were much taken by saxophonist Ingrid Stitt who can wail with the best at them. Can't resist sug- gesting, however, that she should change her name. Marvin is here for a stated limited run but it's our guess and hope that it will still be running come Labour Day. We certainly intrad to see it again. Incidentally, when you make your visit - you are going aren't you? - try the steamed mussels_ Food for the soul ! ON STAGE: For every play that ap- pears on Broadway or in London's West End, Paris' Lido, Budapest, Prague et al there are hundreds, perhaps thousands that never make it beyond an in- itial try out or workshop. An astute critic I reviewer seeing a first performance must be as kind as possible not just for tourpurs la politesse but out of respect for good intentions. Even so, it is difficult to find anything good to say about The Possibilities cur- rently playing at The Theatre Centre (191 Uppin- cott St.). Described as ten short, explosive plays set against a backdrop of war and revolution it is actually and more or less factually ten blackouts by one Howard Barker who seems to think of himself as a latter day Kafka. and why anyone would aspire to such a distinction escapes us. Kafka was a charlatan and Mr. Barker is little more than a vassal aping what he believes to be his better. If there is value in sket- ches titled The Necessity for Prostitution, The Dumb Woman's Ecstacy and Reasons for the Fall of Em- porerors; if there is any sense in a man standing naked as a jay; if there is any sense of such lines as I wept and I shat; then, possibly there is a worth in The Possibilities but it escapes us. Other than the reliable Joyce Gordon who should have known better than to associate herself with this piece of excrement we will make no comment on the performers. How can we when Director Richard Rose has directed them to shout out most of their lines? Volume does not equate with passion Mr. Rose. Well. we're in danger of becoming vitriolic and perhaps we had better cease. Maybe there is something in The Possibilities but inter ed readers will have to let us know. "I wept and I shat"? ARTIE HALL: We understand that there might be a few tickets still left for this weekend's per- formances by Red Skelton at Roy Thomson Hall and it's worth one's while try- ing to get them. Who knows when Mr. Skelton will be back this way again. Quite a change from the days when he used to alternate between Shea's in Toronto and The Princess in Mon- treal. oo-treal. And, the Preservation Hall Jazz Band returns for a Sunday afternoon show on Apr. 2nd. Now where's our old bowler hat? DANCING: You have only until this Sunday to catch The Shanghai Ballet at The O'Keefe. Now, this is danc- ing friends, not the sculptured posing of a troupe such as the recently departed Martha Graham Dance Company. DIRTY DANCING: That's the attraction at Ontario Place Ci nesphere starbrng tonight and runn- ing through till Sunday. Sixty foot dirty dancers. Incredible! IN PRINT: Time was when one spent time in barber shops reading the Police Gazette and such magazines as True Crime Stories. Well, so far as we know, neither is now in publication. Thank heaven then for Max Haines. Mr. Haines writes a syn- dicated column about crime. His pieces are not grand sweeping statements about organized crime and its sociological impact but rather, short and breezy re- countings of personal crimes rather than those of the corporate sector. Occa- sionally they are collected in book form. The latest collection is True Crime Stories Book II rAnniversaries/Birthdays CENTURIONS Scarborough has two residents celebrating special bir- thdays this week. Martin Kehoe of Providence Villa Hospital is celebrating his 102nd birthday on Thurs. Mar. 16th, and Alexander Hamilton of Birkdale Villa Retirement Home is celebrating his 100th birthday on Wed. Mar. 22nd. Happy Birthday to both these gentlemen. (Toronto Sun Publishing). It's not a book to be read straight up. For one thing, the pieces are short and, for another, the relentless breeziness starts to pale. Taken as an occasional pleasure however, it is most amusing and, once in a while, informative. It's probably best served as a book for the den to be dipped into before or after heavier fare. There are fif- ty or so stories including one about the infamous Australian dingo murder. The Police Gazette lives! Good stuff. The Professor and The Prostitute by Linda Wolfe ( Ballantine) suffers from the authoress' breaking of the 11th Commandment which is Never Take Thyself Too Damned Seriously. The P. and the P. is one of a number of selections on "true tales of murder and madness". Well all right if Miss Wolfe had left it at that. Instead the stories are gussied up by insistence on what she regards as her deep research an than. Toro crappo! Her research em- bodied nothing more than the use of material open to all. Now, if one is willing to accept P. hi P. as simply a collection like that of Mr. Haines then it's not bad. Rather enjoyable though bizarre is the story of The T ransexual, the Bartender and the Suburban Princess. Hoo boy'. that's better than anything that ever happen- ed in Wolfeville or do we mea Larcenous igh? Lady ( Fawcett I Crest) is not a true crime story though some might feel it a crime that it was ever published. Written by one Joan Smith (we rather suspect that's a pseudonym for a computer) it's another one of those so called Regency romances that are in cur- rent popularity. It takes place in Italy and the mandatory misplaced lovers find themselves em- broiled in a nefarious plot to counterfeit gold coins. All ends well, of course. One could make the case that a book such as Larcenous Lady does no harm and perhaps that is so. For our part, however, we find it annoying that such pap can find accep- tance as serious reading rather than a serious time waster. Anyway, Deirdre Gower, Dick Belami and Pronto Pilgrim can be expected to appear again. We should have mentioned that Belami and Pilgrim are Regency gentlemen who can afford to investigate crime rather than waste their time. What about oars' FAST LICIT: Lars Miserables opens tonight at the Royal Alex. Consider these words by its author Victor Hugo. "In the twentieth cen- tury, war will be dead, the scaffold will be dead, fron- tier boundaries will be dead, dogmas will be dead; man will live. He will possess something higher than all these - a great country, the whole earth, and a great hope, the whole heaven.' Uh. uh.

The third annual exhibi- tion of resident artists' work entitled The Gaudy, The Ornate, The Baroque opens Mar. 17, in the York Quay Gallery. from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. As curator Tom Foiland comments, "Tine work in this exhibition demonstrates a reaction against the traditional ideas of craft art, where function supersedes form. Through an infustion of post modern sensibility, these works go beyond form, existing primarily for their ornate value." For further information contact The Craft Studio at Harbourfront at 973-99M.

But grab your beach bags fast because in much the same spirit that Club Med put Cancun on the map in the 70's, it's bound to do it again. G.M.s returning from their vacations at Huatulco are excited about the diver- sity that this particular village has to offer. For starters, Club Med Huatulco, covering 50 acres, boasts not one but four cove beaches within the bay area. Double oc- cupancy accommodations are in four separate clusters of "casitas", woven through the hills . . each with its own plaza and tower painted a vivid hue. Rooms are larger, with a degree of privacy achieved by pulling the partitioned closets together to form a wall, thus separating the two sleeping areas boasting oversized beds. Bathrooms are also larger. and wrapped in marble. And each room has a spacious, private terrace complete with lounge chairs and hammock, for breezy, romantic Mexican nights. Another form of diversity is in the number of restaurants you have to choose from . . five. Choices range from freshly caught seafood at "El Puente" restaurant, to Moroccan delicacies at "Marrakesh", an authentic -looking Morroc- can restaurant, complete with couscous and mint tea, reminiscent of the mouthwatering aromas of the souks. An Argentine restaurant serves churrasco at the far end of the village in a romantic, open-air room overlooking the sea.

The main restaurant, "El Mercado", offers breakfast and lunch buffets with dishes from around the world. And last but not least, a Mexican buffet at lunctime serves some of the tastiest local cuisine. Phew! After all that, care to exercise, anyone? How about a dip in one of our three pools ( one Olympic -sized)? How long has it been since you've taken a kayak out? Or sail- ed, windsurfed, or snorkel- ed in some of the most beautiful waters anywhere? If you'd rather stay dry, try a game of tennis on one of the 12 courts, or a fast - paced game of squash to really burn off those calories .. there are three air-conditioned indoor courts. The continuing line- up of options includes a fine fitness centre, golf practice area with driving net and pitching area, volleyball, aerobics classes, water ex- ercises, and water volleyball in the pool Close to Huatulco is one of the most historical towns in all of Mexico .. Oaxaca . . and the excursions department has organized, guided tours. A day trip to this colonial town includes visits to the ancient hilltop holy city of Monte Alban, the largest ceremonial cen- tre of the Zapotec civiliza- tion; the church of Santo Domingo and its golden altar; and a small museum holding the treasures found at Monte Alban. Lunch is at the Zocalo, and then it's time to shop - in the markets and shops surrounding the square. Oaxaca is ringed by Iridian villages. each specializing in a different craft. In addition, there are trips by air to Palenque, with, quite possibly, the most beautiful Mayan ruins, and a trip to Puerto Escondido, known as a surfer's paradise and home of a large bird refuge. Diverse it is, and grow- ing. According to Fonatur. a branch of the Mexican government which developed this area, the Bays of Huatulco will be an even bigger success than Cancun. Two years ago, there were 1,000 in- habitants in the Huatulco area. By the year 2020, it is anticipated that there will be 400,000 tourists annually and more than 90 hotels.

Preserve Company produces some of the most distinctive preserves in North America, and these delicious products are distributed throughout Canada. They are all made from fresh island produce with no added preservatives. During the spring, summer and fall, you can enjoy samples of these preserves as well as other tasty confections at the quaint tearoom on the premises of the Preserve Company located in New Glasgow, P.E.1. This is but one example of several culinary operations on the island that produce quality home -cooked food. On your next visit to Prince Edward Island be sure to take home a culinary souvenir of your trip to tide you over until you return once more. (P.E.I. Canada, Tourism Camera Art photo) Day Tripping Through PEI's Region Evangeline Comment ca flippe That's Acadian for "How'ya doing!" - the warm, informal greeting commonly used among residents of the Evangeline region of Prince Edward Island. You can expect to hear it often as you tour this unique and picturesque region of Prince Edward Island. The French presence on the island dates back to 1714; descendants of the original French (Acadian) settlers survived a sweep- ing expulsion of Acadian from the region by the British in 1758. Since then, these hard-working people have toiled to keep their language, culture and traditions alive. You will find the Evangeline Region easy to locate, being surrounded by the Lady Slipper Scenic Drive between Miscouche and Mount Pleasant in Western Prince Edward Island. As the early Aca- dian were a seafaring peo- ple. you will notice that the region is largely made up of a series of tiny fishing villages strung along the coast. East house was said to be painted a bright colour, dif- ferent from the others, so that each fisherman could recognize his own home from the fishing grounds on Northumberland Strait. As you will notice, the tradi- tion continues to this day. Your first stop as you enter the region will be at the Acadian Museum in Miscouche, where you will be able to acquaint yourself with the history of the Aca- dian people, through a col- lection of artifacts, illustra- tions and texts. Le Village des Pionniers Acadiens in Mont -Carmel is in itself a microcosm of the entire region. Here you can stroll through a re- creation of an Acadian pioneer village (circa 1820), purchase locally made handcrafts, lunch at the L'Etoile de Mer restaurant, relax on the beach and wind up dining at La Cuisine a M*rrie, the only French language dinner -theatre on Prince Edward Island. While savoring Acadian cuisine such as r8pure. pdt@ and fricot, you will be treated to a walloping serv- ing of traditional music and humor as well. Too late to look for accommodations after the show' Simply check into the motel in Le Village! For a change of pace, there are tourist homes as well as cottages to be rented in the area too. The Bottle Houses at Cap -Egmont are a popular attraction in the region. The three buldi rigs are made of varicoloured bot- tles of all shapes and sizes that provide a symphony of colour and light within. It took the late Edouard T. Arsenault three years to complete the buildings with over 25,000 bottles that he collected from the com- munity. Adding to the charm of the buildings is the land- scaping, accented by a goldfish pond. Nowhere is the Acadian zest for life more evident than at the local festivals, where entire communities come together to celebrate their culture. Of special im- portance are La Fete des Acadiens in mid-August and Le Festival Acadien in early September. On your next visit to Prince Edward Island, make a date to visit La Region Evangeline .. and experience first-hand the Acadian 'joie de vivre'' For more information on planning a vacation on Prince Edward Island, call 1-800-565-0243.

What can you tell me about her? V.R.S. A. Virginia Cleo Andrews was born June 6 (year unknown) in Portsmouth, Virginia, the daughter of William Henry, a tool and die maker, and Lillian, a telephone operator. An- drews, an invalid most of her life, supported herself as a commercial artist and fashion illustrator before seriously pursuing her writing career. Her first literary sales were stories for confession magazines until she was catapulted to fame with the publication of her 1979 best seller, Flowers In The Attic. The novel is a story of the four DolLanganger children, offspring of an incestuous union. who are locked up in an attic to pre - Queen s Park Report from Norah Stoner MPP Durham West A total of 94 Government Bills received approval in the Legislature and Royal Assent during the First Session of the 34th Parliament of Ontario. The Bills approved included ones dealing with Members' conflict of interest, municipal election reform, trucking safety, agriculture legislation to help farmers, legislation allowing municipalities to regulate Sunday retail store iotas and to provide protection for retail workers, and legislation asserting Ontario's ability to use its water sup- plies in future. In all, 125 Bills were introduced by the Peterson govern- ment. Bills which were debated in the House and referred to Standing Committees for review include amendments to the workers' Compensation Act, smoking in the workplace, and the Independent Health Facilities Act. The First Session drew to a close March 2nd with the government fulfilling the agenda ou U med in the November 1987 Speech from the 'throne. Premier David Peterson described the session as produc- tive and said the government "continued its efforts to im- prove Ontario's competitive position while maintaining our commitment to excellence in education and training, quali- ty health care, a clean and safe environment, more affor- dable housing and increased economic assistance for those in need. " Through the government's strategy for a clean and safe environment, Ontario became the first jurisdiction in North America to begin phasing out chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and other chemical substances responsible for the depletion of the world's protective ozone layer. Increased funding for recycling initiatives, strict targets for major reductions in sulphur dioxide emissions and increased penalties for polluters are also components of this strategy. The govemme:nt continues to deliver on its commitment to an accessible, quality health care system through the Premier's Council on Health Strategy and the $100 million Health Innovation Fund. Our approach to health care ex- tends beyond treatment facilities. Increased funding is be- ing eing given for disease prevention and health promotion cam- paigns encouraging Ontarians to lead healthier lifestyles. By investing in excellence in education, the Peterson government is investing in the strength of Ontario. A $9001 million, three year capital grant will enable school boards to undertake over $1 billion in ehmeatary and secondary school construction and expansion, creating W proximately 110,000 new pupil places. The first $300 million were allocated last April by the Ministry of Education, in- cluding funds that will generate school projects in Durham Region worth over $50 million, including six new elenenr tory schools and one new high school. During the last Session, the Peterson government lo- troduced many initiatives that contribute to the goal of a more caring Ontario. Mandatory education programs in Ontario schools have been introduced to teach cbddtren about the dangers of drug and alcohol abuse. Our commit- ment to working families was met by doubling the number of provincially -funded childcare spaces and placing a clear priority on quality childcare. The government has taken measures to increase the sup- ply and production of affordable housing, providing $2 billion for the construction of approximately 30,000 non- profit homes under the "Homes Now" program. So far, almost 21,000 units have been given the go ahead under the program, including close to 500 in Pickering and Ajax. To help fust time home buyers, the government introduc- ed the Ontario Home Ownership Savings Plan. On the economic front, the government outlined its ef- forts to improve Ontario's competitive position in the global economy through the Premier's Council which has forged a partnership between business, labour, academia and government. vent their grandfather learning of their.existence. Forgot- ten by their mother and abused by their grandmother, they turn to each other for love. In Andrews sequel, Petals on the Wind the children escape and get their revenge. Andrews reported that she would really identify with her characters to the point where her own life became secondary. She believed in reincarnation and claimed to have had many psychic experiences. V. C. Andrews published five more novels before her death from cancer on December 19, 1986. Q. Was the Taj Mahal really built as a tomb? E.V. A. Yes. In the early 1600's, Shah Jahan was the Hila of In- dia. He went on a march in 1629 in response to a rebellion in his kingdom. His wife Mumtaz Hahal, pregnant with her 14th child, accompanied him. The strain was too much for her, and she died in childbirth. The Shah, overcome with grief, dressed himself in white, the Indian color of mourn- ing, and went into seclusion. After a time, Jahan decided to build a memorial to his wife, a resting place for her body. The result was the Taj Mahal, where both Shah Jahan and his wife are buried. The Taj Mahal is a large, impressive marble structure. It was under construction for twenty years, from 1630 to 1650. 20,000 workers were needed to built it. The building nests on a large red sandstone platform. At each corner of the plat- form stands a minaret, or prayer tower. They are each 133 feet high while the main building rises to 186 feet. The palace's dome has a diameter of 70 feet. The structure is decorated with inscriptions from the Muslim holy book, the Koran. Shah Jahan did not want this building thought of as a tomb, but rather as a palace. "Palace" in the Indian language is "Mahal"
