New Crosswalk To Replace Crossing Guard
During the past several
years, the Town of Picker-
ing has experienced a
growing difficulty in
recruiting crossing guards
to watch over and control
traffic at various locations
dining the school day.
The problem appears to
have as much to do with the
split shift nature of the job
as the financial reward for
doing so.
For the past month the
town has been attempting
to replace a crossing guard
at the intersection of Dixie

Opposes Lot Levies
The Metropolitan Separate School Board has recom-
mended that the provincial government abandon its pro-
posal to use lot levies as a method to finance education
costs.
"This scheme is totally unacceptable to the Metropolitan
Separate School Board." said board chairman Michael J.
Lofranco. "The board considers such a proposal to be un-
fair. Once again, the province appears to be shifting the tax
burden to individual ratepayers rather than accepting the
responsibility to fund education in an equitable manner for
all."
Mr. Lofranco warned that lot levies would only lead to
higher local taxes in the long run, and urged taxpayers
throughout Ontario to register their objections with their
local MPPs.
Mr. Lofranco's comments followed the submission of the
board's brief to the Interministerial Committee on Financ-
ing Growth -related Capital Needs on Mar. 1.
"The application of a lot levy would not be related to a
person's ability to pay." said Dr. A. J. Barone, director of
education. "This action would certainly violate any percep-
tion of equity. A scheme based on a user -pay system of tax-
ation is totally unacceptable. The use of lot levies would not
be advantageous to most Ontario school boards. In the
Metro area, where there are many aging school buildings,
lot levies would not assist in providing badly needed
renovations or replacements."
The board voiced other concerns including lot levies are
viewed as a form of indirect tax which undermine the basic
principle that education benefits all sectors of society and
should be funded out of general revenues. not on a user -pay
basis; lot levies will result in an unequal transfer of the tax
burden from noogrowth areas to expanding areas, and
from assessment -poor to assessment -rich boards; and lot
Levies will undermine the provincial government's own in-
itiatives on affordable housing.
Thanks To Pound
To The Editor:
I would like to take this opportunity to thank Mr. Steve
Wallace of the Thickson Road Animal Control Pound and
the two firemen who supplied a ladder, lights and support to
rescue a young German Shepherd dog that had fallen into
an open dry well 12 to 15 feet deep in Greer River Park on
Tuesday evening March 7th.
While walking my dog "Shady" about 7 p.m. I was
disturbed by her barking and crouching in some long weeds
not too far from the enhance to the park. As I approached
the area I could bear another dog crying in distress and
thinking perhaps it had been hit by a car and was lying in-
jured I was horrified to see it trapped down the well.
I ran hone to get my husband and a ladder but it wasn't
long enough to reach the bottom of the well and by this time
it was dark. I waited with the dog till my husband gave the
details to our friend Jean Smith and she relayed the
message to Mr. Wallace and waited on the highway to
direct him to the park.
It wasn't very long before Mr. Wallace arrived and after
assessing the situation he called the fere department. With
the firemen holding the ladder and lights Mr. Wallace
climbed down the well and retrieved the dog and brought it
safely to the top. WHAT A TEAM'
I had been telling my husband the night before that I
thought I heard a wolf crying in the park but the sound of
the dog was similar. I shudder to think what would have
been the outcome if my dog hadn't found the well. Not only
for the dog but children play in the park and many people
hike around this area.
We have lived beside the park for 21 years and although a
barn burned in the immediate area of the well a few years
ago we had no idea it existed, even though the rubble was
cleared away -
The property was expropriated by the Provincial Govern-
ment in 1974. I sincerely hope that there are no more open
wells on expropriated properties. Next time we may not be
so lucky.
P.S. Later that evening Jean Smith drove me around to
different homes trying to locate the owner of the dog, unfor-
tunately nobody had any knowledge of seeing a dog of this
description.
The dog was taken by Mr. Wallace to Thickson Road
Animal Pound Whitby (416) 427-8737.
Yours sincerely
Thelma Robinson

Executive Summary
Customs Clinics Focus on
Free Trade Agreement
The board of Trade of
Metropolitan Toronto
hosted three Customs
Clinics in January. The
purpose of those clinics
was to educate importers,
exporters and customs
brokerage professionals on
how the Free Trade Agree-
ment will affect the clear-
ing of U.S. goods arriving
into Canada and Canadian
goods being shipped to the
United States.
The clinics delved into:
the new certificate of
origin; what constitutes
origin; new tariff items;
warranty repairs; com-
mercial samples; tariff
reductions; used
automobiles; and Free
Trade and the Harmonized
System for tariff numbers.
The panel consisted of two
Canadian officials and two
officials from the United
States.
190 Federal Pre -budget
Submission
As part of the annual pre-
budget consultation pro-
cess, the board submitted
to the Minister of Finance
for Canada its comments
and recommendations with
respect to the upcoming
1989 Budget.
The board complimented
the federal government on
its formation of an Expen-
diture Review Committee
through which all pro-
grams and policies must
now pass for approval. The
board indicated that a
review of fiscal measures
will be undertaken follow-
ing release of the budget.
On taxation policy, the
board recommended that:
a national sales tax be inn
plemented immediately;
Canadian corporate in-
come tax rates and
withholding tax rates on
dividends be reviewed in
light of the Free Trade
Agreement; simplification
of the Income Tax Act be
pursued; and that the
fairness of the Income Tax
Act in matching treatment
of expense and revenue
generally be reviewed.
On the subject of Interna-
tional Bawling Centres,.ft
board urged that
anomalies in the existing
legislation be corrected so
that Canadian financial in-
stitutions can focus on com-
peting internationally
rather than regionally.
In noting with approval
recent initiatives by the
Ontario Government to ex-
pand and update its ap-
prenticeship training
system, the board urged
the federal government to
complement this initiative
with renewed and expand-
ed support for appren-
ticeship training.
Proposed Rodes of Practice
ter the Pay Equity Hear-
ings Tribunal
The Pay Equity Hearings
Tribunal recently released
for comment draft Flues of
Practice to be observed in
matters before it. There
were two main thrusts to
the board's recommenda-
tions. First, the require-
ment at each step of the
hearing process for
documented proof of ser-
vice is unnecessary for an
administrative tribunal.
Seconcily, the time limits
proposed for the service of
documents are too onerous.
Draft Policy Statement on
Housing and I.and Use
Released in August 1988,
the Draft Policy Statement
is currently being cir-
culated for public review.
The intent of the policy is to
encourage the provision of
a variety of housing types,
including more affordable
housing, through the land
use process.
The board supports the
objective to provide a suffi-
cient supply of housing.
However, the board cannot
support the [requirement
that 25% of all housing
units built in a municipality
within one year be affor-
dable housing. This re-
quirement is viewed as dif-
ficult and expensive to im-
plement and an un-
necessary interference in
the housing market and
planning process. The
board recommends that a
broader housing strategy
be developed. .. , 1
those provided by other
provinces to establish in-
ternational banking cen-
tres, to be repealed when
the Governments of
Canada, B.C. and Quebec
repeal theirs.
•A land speculation tax
should not be implemented
until past experience with
such tax has been closely
examined.
*Metro Toronto ratepayers
should not face a tax hike
as part of any proposal for
pooling commercial -
industrial school taxes.
*Film production in On-
tario in 1988 dropped by
"many millions of dollars"
compared to 1987 accor-
ding to statistics for the
Municipality of
Metropolitan Toronto.
While this can be attributed
in part to the increase in
value of the Canadian
dollar, film industry, in-
siders say a less favourable
income tax climate in On-
tario, compared to Quebec
and other jurisdictions, is a
major factor.

Bill Watt's Worlds
ON STAGE:
The blockbuster trio of
Cats at Massey Hall, Les
Miserables at the Royal
Alex and the upcoming
Phantom of the Opera at
the Pantages could cause
one to think that there are
no other significant
legitimate presentations in
Toronto at the present. Not
so.
Consider the joint Cana-
dian Stage Company and
Banff Centre production of
The Threepenny Opera at
the Blumer Appel Theatre.
By any standard it is a
lavish undertaking and
probably worth one's
custom. There is much in it
to be appreciated. Unfor-
tunately, there is little to
enjoy.
The Threepenny Opera is
a work of pretentious piffle.
Its writer Bertold Brecht.
was little more than a more
or less scholarly disem-
boweller of other people's
efforts and the story line of
T. T.O. owes what ever
value if might have to its
source, The Beggars'
Opera by John Gay.
Kurt Weill, the composer
for this 1929 show, didn't
bloom - truly bloom - until
some years later in the
United States. His con-
tribution with the possible
exception of Moitat ( Mack
the Knife) can be dismiss-
ed without damage to his
memory.
The blame for The
Threepenny Opera can be
laid at the doorstep of Ber-
thold Brecht who is right up
there with Kafka as a
literary con man. One will
notice he has not been
referred to as a con artist.
Brecht confused the cor-
ruption of post World War I
Germany with decandence
( Bob Fosse whose name
means ditch in German
made the sauce mistake a
few decades later with
Cabaret) and that perceiv-
ed decandence permeates
virtually all of his
"literary" output. The
Threepenny Opera based
on a work that made a valid
social statement when
written is nothing more
than Brecht's view of a
world unredeemed by any
virtue.
Still, we did say that
there is much to appreciate
in this local production and
so there is.
The set is stunning and
the costuming .. well, in-
teresting if one enjoys a
harlequinade presentation
of the Kama Sutra.
The cast deserves praise
not just for almost making
a silk purse out of a sow's
ear but for delivering some
genuinely enjoyable per-
formances.
Rodney Scott Hudson is
Mack the Knife and
becomes the embodiment
of likeable evil. He is
robust and vital and ob-
viously of great attraction
of and for women. His
casting in the role is a
splendid example of talent
over tradition but one con-
fesses surprise that the
Black co mumty has not
complained.
The principal singing
roles belong to Valerie
Galvin as Lucy Brown,
Tracey Moore as Polly
Peachum and Nora
McLellan as Jenny Towler.
All are fine actresses and
gond, frond -
We repeat that'Ihreepen-
ey Opera is worth atten-
dance as an experience. We
cannot warrant, however,
that all will find it an en-
joyable one.
ON STAGE Il:
Let's not forget local lit-
tle theatre either. Opening
tonight at Rhodes Avenue
United Church is a most in-
teresting production of The
Music Man.
We say interesting
because the role of
Mareellus, Professor
Harold Bill's sidekick and
accomplice has been writ-
ten for a female. The role
will be played by Fiona
Wilkie who is making a
name for herself on the
local theatre scene.

IN CONCERT:
Willie P. Bennett opens
tomorrow evening for a
three night engagement at
Free Times Cafe. Mr. Ben-
nett has been called a
Canadian folk music
legend which probably ex-
plains why he is unknown
to us.
Don't be confused by the
name of the cafe. Tickets
are U at the door.
Pianist Catherine
Wilson, whose recordings
have been reviewed here,
will appear in concert this
Sunday at 2 p.m. at the
Pickering Public library.
Her program will include
Bach, Gershwin and many
of the selections reviewed
here previously.
For ticket reservations
call Pat Ward at 286.2579.
ON T.V.:
Elvira lives and will ap-
pear soon on Global.
Elvira's Movie Macabre
hosted by the deep chested
- to put it mildly - Elvirs is
scheduled to debut Sat.
Apr. 1st from 1 to 3 a. in. on
your local Global T.V. sta-
tion.
Among the many actors
and actresses who will ap-
pear in her tacky horror
film are such giants as
George Gobel, Roz Kelly
(Pinky Tlscadero of Hap-
py Days) and Victor
Bueno.
The show will follow
Saturday Night Live so
shouldn't the programming
date for Elvira be Apr.
2nd' Just asking.
ON RECORD:
We are told and have
read in the trade Journals
that Brighton Rock is one
of the better and fast rising
rock groups currently mak-
ing the scene.
In an effort to be au
courant we've listened to
their latest release Take a
Deep Breath (WEA).
Allow us to take a deep
breath and state that it
isn't worth the effort unless
of course one no longer
carts for such musical con-
stants as rhythm, melody
and controlled singing. In
such a crse there might be
value in the album.
It has escaped us.
Perhaps we should state
that we escaped the
relentless fecal shoutings
of the group.
While we're on a roll we
should mention some of the
titles on an album by the
group Megadeth titled Kill-
ing Is My
Good And
Business
They are the title song,
Last Rites Loved to Death,
Skull Beneath the Skin and
Looking Down The Ghost.
To think that Yogi
Jorgensen once en-
countered problems
because of a line in
his comic song
Ynngle Bells. The line
was "They shouldn't
let brass monkeys
ride in a one house
open sleigh."
IN PRINT:
Books are among
life's abiding
pleasures and one
can hardly be in-
troduced to them too
early.
For the very young
Collins has prepared
a series of Guess
What books. They
are short - four
lightweight board
pages - and feature a
comical pop up at the
4 end.
We've just finished
Guess Who Pops Up
in the Pond which details
the development of tiny
eggs into a frog - a frog that
leaps out for the young
reader. It's quite enchan-
ting for young tads, of a dif-
ferent variety, and in its
primary way is educa-
tional.
Based on our assessment
of this little book we'd think
the complete set would be a
fine human investment as
an introduction to the world
of books.
From Random House
there's Mine! A Sesame
Street Book About Sharing.
It's just first rate for the
sometimes difficult situa-
tion of an infant now con-
fronted with a young sibl-
ing.
The lesson it tells is a
simple one for adults but
one that must be taught to
children. The characters
are the familiar Sesame
Street's Bert and Ernie as
children, somewhat in the
fashion of Disney Babies.
Physically it's well con-
structed and intellectually
it makes the intended point
and makes it well, that
sharing makes life so much
more pleasant.
We have to confess,
though, that we'd recom-
mend the book if for
nothing else than the final
page illustrations of Little
Bert and Little Ernie shar-
ing an apple together. - like
our Scottie and Andy.
Witches, Wraiths and
Warlocks
( Fawcett Premier) is a bit
of a disappointment. One
had expected a dictionary
or compendium of the oc-
cult. Instead, this is a col-
lection of stories about wit-
ches, wraiths et al and
many of them have been in-
cluded in other similar col-
lections.
Forewarned is forearm-
ed, however, and the book
is enjoyable enough if one
knows what to expect. We
have to admit it was a
pleasure to read again
Rappaccini's Daughter by
Hawthorne and Ligeia by
Poe and The Bell -Tower by
Melville and . .
On reflection the book
wasn't really such a disap-
pointment after all.
A Dictionary of Symp-
toms ( Paladin; Collins) by
Dr. Joan Gomez is the best
book of its kind for the
layman that we've ever
seen.
It was first published in
1967 but is in continuous up-
date.
The book is divided into
two parts; A Table of
Symptoms and Analysis of
Them. As well there is a
glossary that avoids where
possible the use of
technical terms.
Dr. Gomez is or was a
writer on medicine for the
Daily Telegraph and it
shows in this splendid and
easily affordable soft
cover. She never writes
down to the reader but
neither does she espouse
over simplification.
We take pleasure in
quoting from the back
cover by stating that "A
Dictionary of Symptoms is
not an alternative to seek-
ing medical opinion. But
(sic) in indicating where
proper medical attention
should be sought it will pro-
ve a boon to the sufferer
without being a bane to the
doctor. "
Well said.
What has truly warmed
us to Dr. Gomez is her ad-
vice that difficulty in con -

Its police force would have
to reconsider its policing
and security priorities and
programs. "Its an arrogant

The transfer of court
security responsibilities
represents only a portion of
the additional $30-60

the provincial

many of its respomibilities

Travel Health Checklist
Travel health expert, Dr.
David Lawes, attending
physician at Toronto
General Hospital's Travel
and Inoculation Service,
agrees the best safeguard
to your health while travel-
ing is to "know before you
go"
The following travel
health checklist can help
ensure a great trip.
See your family doctor or
a local pharmacist before
you go. These professionals
are a good source of advice
on possible health risks you
might face while travelling
-in certain high-risk parts of
the world.
Check with your local
hospital or health depart-
ment to see if there is a
travel health clinic in your
area. Inform them of your
travel plans and find out
what inoculations or anti -
malaria prophylaxis your
might need for your trip.
Make a list of all
medicaitons you need to
take with you. Where possi-
ble take capsule -type and
plastic or blister packs of
your medications instead
of heavy bottles that may
break en -route.
Fill all new prescriptions
and be sure to get enough
refills of any regularly
prescribed drugs so that
you're well supplied for the
length of your trip. This
also applies to insulin if you
are diabetic.
Ask your doctor if any
adjustments need to be
made in either dosage or
scheduling of these
medications, simply due to
crossing time zones. higher
altitudes, long flights or
different climates.
Be sure all medication is
clearly labeled to avoid any
problems with customs. (In
fact, if you are diabetic and
need to take your own syr
inge abroad be sure to
carryalong a doctor's
press .ptioo with you.)
Since diarrhea is the
most common travel ail-
ment, the National In-
stitutes of Health (NIH)
recommends taking an ef-
fective antidiarrheal pro-
duct with you as it may not
be available at your
destination. IMODIUM'
(loperamide HCl),
available from your phar-
macist in Canada without a
prescription, has been
demonstrated to be effec-
tive at relieving the symp-
toms of acute diarrhea in
three out of four patients
within 24 hours, and for
many patients, after only
one dose.

Allergy sufferers: Make

Report
from Norah Stoner
MPP Durham West
Ontario's entrepreneurial spirit remains strong and con-
tinues to develop through the medium of small business, ac-
cording to the government's third annual report on small
business in Ontario.
Released recently by Industry, Trade and Technology
Minister Monte Kwinter, the 185 -page "State of Small
Business" book provides a comprehensive, fact -filled look
at small business in Ontario and the challenges faced.
The Annual Report shows small business continues as the
engine of job creation. Last year, Ontario's small business
`start-up' generated $500 million in new investment. Nearly
one third of new businesses are headed by women and an in-
creasing number of young people are looking at business
ownership as a career.
"This edition continues the tradition, set in 1986, of
presenting significant research findings on the contribu-
tions of small business to the province's economy and of
creative government initiatives to nurture entrepreneur-
ship," Mr. Kwinter said.
Publication of the annual report was one of the first in-
itiatives undertaken by the government's Committee of
Parliamentary Assistants for Small Business. Established
in 1986 the Committee is made up of Parliamentary
Assistants who, through their respective Ministries, have a
connection with Ontario's industrial, financial and service
sectors.
The Committee has an ongoing mandate to: demonstrate
to the business community that the Ontario government has
a positive. coordinated approach to small business
owners; consider existing programs for small business and
ensure that they are effective, accessible and designed to
provide maximum benefit; develop a process for reviewing
endsting regulations and screening new legislation and
rules to make then as responsive as possible to the realities
of doing business; and to advise the govertuneit on new
ideas and initiatives in support of small business.
The Committee's fust report to the legislature in
December 1986, concentrated on the remarkable, ever ris-
ing tide of new business formabow in Ontario.
This latest report documents the continuing development
on small business, providing insight into emerging trends
and the most recent statistics on growth and job creation.
Sections of the publication have been given to topics such as
the integration at technology in production; government
procurement; exporting; government and non-government
sources of debt and equity financing; and entrepreneurial
education in Ontario sd�ools.
The 1988 report also contains a new feature, The Small
Business Owners' Grade, offering entrepreneurs practical
information on business ownership, sales to government,
financing and exporting.
A copy of the "State of Small Business" can be obtained
by calling Mike in my Queen's Park Office at 965-1929.
NORAH'S NOTES:
The Minister of industry, Trade and Technology, Monte
Kwinter, will be the guest speaker at a business breakfast I
will be hosting Friday, April 28th at E & J's Restaurant on
Dreyer Drive in Ajax. Tickets are $6.00 each and can be
reserved by calling 9661929. Advanced tickets are re-
quired.
Pickering Pride Festival
The second annual
Pickering Pride Festival
will operate June 29 to July
1 throughout the Town of

hosted a Grand Finale at
Kinsmen Park on July 1st
and approximately 15,000
people were in attendance.
A wide range of community
groups and residents work-
ed hard to ensure this day
was a tremendous success.
Once again the parks and
recreation department is
looking for interested com-
munity residents and
groups to help plan and
take part in the festival. It
hopes to continue to raise
support and interest in the
program, so that Canada
Day, now part of the Pride
Festival, will be a fun filled
day for the entire family.
