The site - on the west side df Altona Rd. between the fourth and fifth concession roads - was agreed upon by officials in Metro Toronto and Durham without con- sultation with Pickering or affected residents. Pickering Mayor Wayne Arthurs asked Durham council to defer considera- tion of the site for four weeks so a public meeting could be held to inform Pickering residents about the plant. In the meantime, the denying to persuade government to give 250 acres in its holdings in the Pickering airport lands for the dump. However, this site is also in Pickering although fewer residents would be af- fected. The Altona Rd. site is near the hamlets of Whitevale and Cherrywrood and residents told council last week that the two would be destroyed if the dump went in. The region needs to come up with a site if it wants to become a member of a Greater Toronto area waste management authority. The authority is supposed to cane up with long-term dump sites to serve the five regions around metro involved in the authority. However, Metro and Durham need a dump site now because the Brock West will be full ne3R year leaving Durham without anywhere for its garbage. Metro still has the Keele Valley site but it too will be full within two years. The Pickering site is supposed to be for only four years to provide dumping space un- til 1996 when a long-term dump is supposed to be ready - It would be for the ex- clusive use of Metra and Durham. Metro would give Durham about $26 million in rebates and tipping fees.

Apr. 26, 1989 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Dear Mr. Premier by Bob Watson It is a shame that our higher levels of government - the federal and provincial ones - have taken so long to come to grips with the fact that you can't keep spending money without taking it in. The municipal governments are re- quired by provincial act to balance their books every year. Our provincial governments have avoided spending on highways around Metro Toronto for about 14 years now and Queen's Park thinks that to cut back in this area is the right way to go! How silly when the number of human beings and cars is multiplying and roads are packed. And remember it is the Metro Toronto area which creates most of the tax dollars in Ontario for the provincial government. The provincial government is not cutting its expenditures in cultural grants but it is cutting essential highways and subsidies to local governments to build roads and services. Put the load on the property taxpayers says Queen's Park! Down at Ottawa the big announcement is coming this week about taxes when Michael Wilson brings down his budget. There is no argument that all of us will have to pay more taxes and we hope that his formula is the fairest to us all. And please Ottawa cut out the many giveaways to cultural groups who could raise their own money. Let's Face It A heading in a daily paper today said, "School taxes could rise 27% trustee says." Scarborough taxpayers could be paying V% more in educational taxes if the province form Metro to share the tax money from cornmertial and industrial assessment, a public school trustee says. It says that the province is ex- pected to decide soon whether to force richer boards to share their lucrative commerciallindustrial tax base with poorer boards. The move would also give separate school boards access to commereW assessment. This is where this nonsense from the Province of Ontario has got to be stopped - The Province of Ontario fouled an us the support of the Separate School Board's additional costs of high school costs and when it was opposed by the Public School Board. it was opposed on the wrong premise. Every Catholic school is in reality a very active part of every Catholic church in inculcating the Roman Catholic doctrine into their children and any support of the separate school system is subsida- ing Roman Catholicism. The Roman Catholic church would have no interest in running schools except that it is an opportunity for them to stress their views to a captive group who must attend school according to provincial law. Refuse this religious teaching to them in the schools and they would cease un - mediately to run them All other religious have their religious teachings in their Churches, synagogues or mos- ques or other religious buildings. They are not subsidized, and they shouldn't be and neither should Catholic schools teaching religion, These Catholic schools should only be paid for by the assessment paid by separate school supporters and nothing more. The separate school boards have been acting as though the whole tax field is their right, even to insisting on taking over public schools, that were bought and paid for by Public school Supporters. They should be forced to buy anv school they want to take over at the going price that it would take to build such a school. 1, as a public school supporter, am not going to subsidize a religion not my own and especially not am that advocates idol worship. That is the reason that the Eastern Orthodox Church separated from the Roman Catholic Church back in 1054 A.D. The Roman group insisted an keeping their idols. Two other things that the Ontario government are trying to force down our throats in Scarborough is the ridiculous cost of heritage Language instruction and French immer- sion classes while they are completely ignoring any support for the teaching of the 25% of our population who are il- literate and cannot read or write the English language. if there is anything that should be supported it's this area so that we can enable these people to get jobs and get off relief. Our Premier, Mr. Peterson lives in a world all his own and seems to be completely ignorant of what is needed in this province and by its people. Also it isn't bilingualism in which he is catering to 4.6% of our population and just ig- nores over 95% of the people. Bruce A.

DAVID SOMERVILLE Fallacies About the National Debt One of the most critical challenges which Canadians will face in the next decade will be the size and cost of Canada's burgeoning federal government debt. This debt is the sum of the federal government's deficits. Deficits we created when the government spends more than it raises in taxes. As of March 31, 1989 the federal government debt totalled about $321 billion and it will grow by about $30 billion in the coming year. The debt threatens our sovereignty, the financial security of our families and the health of our national economy. Unfortunately, the debate on this subject has been muddied by those who argue that this massive debt is not a serious problem. Here are some of the more popular of these arguments and responses to them: The debt doesn't naffer because we owe it to ourselves. Wrong. We owe much of it to foreigners. In 1988. Canadian governments and businesses owed to foreigners a total of about $222 billion. If Canada's foreign ii%debtedness, continues 10 grow at the same pace. foreign lenders could soon demand drastic measures by due federal government to put our federal government house it order. Deficit Spending by the gavrrannent creates jobs. Wrong. The government doesn't have any money of its own. It gets money either through taxes or borrowing. That money could be spent instead by citizens on goods and services, savings or investments. Who can better create jobs: politicians and bureaucrats Or the free enterprise sector? Borrowing Money to spend on sockdprograns is ethicaL Wrong. We're telling future generations of taxpayers "You will be forced through taxes to pay for the social spending that we're consuming today". Barring a national emergency, that's unethical. It's also unwise. The growing share of tax dollars that we must pay in interest on the government's debt puts increasing pressure on the funding of social programs for the needy. Raising taxes will solve nine debt problem Wrong. Higher personal income taxes will discourage work and creativity and encourage a —main drain". That would result in fewer jobs for Canadians. Taxes on businesses make up much of the selling price of goods and services. Higher business taxes would mean higher prices and that would make out products less competitive here with imports and less competitive abroad. Hither taxes would also discourage investment dollars. The growing federal govern- ment debt poses a serious threat to Canada's future. The healthy. long term solution is for the government to cut spending and to balance its budget. The sooner Canadians face up to this chal- lenge, the sooner it can be met.

Apr. 26, 1989 THE NEWS/POST Page 3 Parents train child for a dry night's sleep hen the Smiths first real- ized he had a problem Bill was 8 years old. Now he is 15. "Don't worry, he'll outgrow it," the doctors kept telling them. The last time had been four years ago. But Bill was still a bedwetter. He would wake up in a dry bed just two days a week. Five doc- tors had tried their best. They put Bill through many tests, wrote numerous prescriptions, ordered hospital stays and even performed surgery. Nothing seemed to work. "Over the last 15 years, we felt fortunate if the bed was dry two nights in a row," says the boy's father, who asked that their real names not be used. Bill could go to visit someone and spend the night. But he might stay awake the whole time, because he was embarrassed and did not want to wet the bed. Then, several weeks ago, the Smiths heard of the Canadian Children's Centre. They sent away for free literature and saw their own son's story being played out. What had hit them hardest was an earlier story that linked bedwetting to arson. "My son tried to burn down our shed," says the father. That's when I said 1 am tired of hearing 'don't worry he will out- grow it' - also I found out bedwetting is harmful physical- ly and emotionally. If bedwet- ting can be stopped, why should we allow our child to sleep in this condition. If my son needed braces, I wouldn't hesitate." Many don't Outgrow bedwetting Children don't always stopP bedwetting says Canadian Chil- dren's Centre director Vincent Fowler. In 14 years the Centre has successfully treated thousands of bedwettera, and receives a large number of "'nquirms from adults who still have the problem. But quite often a doctor will say 'Don't worry, your child will out- grown it.' That's because most doc- tors don't want the ppaarreents to wor- ry. Ahistory dbedwetting in the family can reduce the chances a child will outgrow it." Psychologist Dr. Warren Baller of the University of California at Los Angeles writes "Evidence ac- cumulated casts doubt that chil- dren outgrow bedwetting. Most bedwetters hide their feelings and shame, and embarrassment are their constant companion. Correct- ing bedwetting often produces re- markable results in family rela- tionships, behavior, school work and peer contact." Bill was dry nine weeks after the Smiths sent for the Centre litera- ture and eight weeks without a wet bed, they have started to no- tice other changes. My son has always been very quiet, very withdrawn. He seldom talks to us. I guess that's because he was teased a lot when someone who'd let him stay at his home let the cat out of the bag," says the father. Today Bill reaches out for affection from his fami�lyy in a way they've never known. He also ap- pears much calmer. Bill follows the patterns of many "nocturnal enuretics" as the con- dition is medically known. For them, the problem is more than just a wet sheet nuisance. Unfor- tunately, it's still a closely closet- ed problem few people are willing to seek help for or even discuss with their family physicians or friends. Harmful physically and emotionally "These children can become so- cial outcasts," Fowler says, "their bedwetting problem makes it diffi- cult for them to join the crowd, to "To offer a child a reward to accomplish something when they're sleeping, they can't win. It sets them up for failure." go to camp, or spend the night with a friend. They live in con- stant oo-stant fear of ridicule - tha:. some- body will uncover their problem. Bedwetting is not an accepted thing to do. He noted that the resulting shame from bedwetting during the sensi- tive age of a child, can be devastat- ing. Often hostility, resentment and feelings of rejection or antiso- cial traits that can carry over into adulthood. ..Our success goes beyond just stopping bedwetting," Fowler says. "Most parents tell us that their children are happier with themselves. The children like themselves more and so do their parents. A child who likes and re- spects himself is more capable of liking and respecting others. "A tremendous amount of stress is removed from the whole family. Often they weren't even aware it was related to bedwetting. Parents often find a great behaviour and attitude change in the child." "Schoolwork often improves and so does the child's attention span and concentration. There are some real, positive benefits from stop ping bedwetting." But bedwetting, he explains, can leave emotional scars both on chil- dren and parents if the problem isn't treated quickly. And as a gen- eral rule, he says, children should be able to make it through the aught within six months o� being toilet trained during daytime hours. The concerned parent Bedwetting is known to cause emotional problems if not correct- ed before school. So the majority of inquiries come from parents of four year olds looking for a solu- tion prior to their children start- ing school. Many other parents get upset at the child because they know friends and relatives can some- times smell the odor, and the cost can average over $300 a year, just for laundry. Some parents will reward their children for a dry night or scold when bedwetting occurs. but Fowler says "To offer a child reward to accomplish something when they're sleeping, is a no-win situation. It sets them up for fail- ure.,, He notes that a 3% year study at McGill University concludes that deep sleep, not the child, is to blame as the No. 1 cause of bedwetting. Causes and effects "Bedwetting can cause a tiny bladder and so does waking or re- ducing liquids," he says. "You ac- tually encourage bedwetting by waking them." After a while, the child develops some strongly ingrained habits and negative self -expectations, which make it harder to overcome the problem, he adds. Repeated bedwetting episodes at night, and the frequency of day time voiding may tend to keep the bladder un- derdeveloped and the sphincter or lock muscle weak. Most bedwet- tings are very sensitive. The child may also, become overly sensitive about being a bedwetter. This anx- iety connected with bedwetting can make the problem worse. Ager children are toilet trained. he says, waking in the morning wearing a di or sleeping in a wet bed can't help but atTect them emotionally. They know they are a disappointment to themselves and parents.their Folk remedies There are plenty of folk and trad- itional remedies, but they often do more harm than good because they delay proper therapy - Improper methods of treating bedwetting can include: waking or lifting a child at night, restricting or reducing liquids during the day or before bed, rewards, scolding, drugs, waiting to outgrow it, and treating it medically. All of the above methods can produce harm- ful side effects. Scolding only makes the prob- lem worse, because the child ends up denying how badly he or she feels to the parents. Medical attempts Medical intervention isn't as prevalent as it once was, it also can worsen a condition. Both the U.S. Food and Drug Ad- ministration and the American Medical Association say drugs are not the treatment choice. Fowler notes that the American Academyy of Pediatrics established that bedwetting is not a medical problem, and advised against most medical tests or drugs. For exam- ple X-rays close to a child's geni- tals poses unnecessary risk of radi- ation. He notes that a surgical proce- dure where the urethra or urinary passage is enlarged has been popu- lar. But Fowler says the healing and a scarring process can cause the urethra to become smaller. The Smith's son Bill underwent the operation and it didn't work. Psychological considerations Staff psychologist Arnold Keller says the worst so-called solution - without question - is for parents to wait until children outgrow the problem. This is because toilet training teaches children the dif- ference between right and wrong, sum and failure, clean and dirty. So bedwetting only rein- forces negative feelings and can lead to a poor self image. "It's not that they outgrow it, it's that they stop talking about it," he says. Most bedwetters hide their feelings in shame. They try to hide from the parents any ink- ling that it matters. So parents of- ten don't think it affects the child. If a child does not show signs of the bedwetting bothering them, this can be serious. "The majority don't work to their full potential," he says. Since they are active during the day they are deep sleepers with a short attention span. Keller says they often have difficulty communicat- ing with their parents because of the guilt associated with bedwet. ting. One study showed three of every four institutionalized Tuve nile delinquents were or had been bedwetters. Unfortunately, too, says Keller, there is a higher inci- dence of suicide in children who are bedwetters. The older personality type is that of the over -achievers, who try to prove they're OK. Keller says they knock themselves out to be successful. All of this can cause parents to suffer guilt when family or friends start blaming them for their children's problem. And as a last straw, parents sometimes have resorted to rather cruel methods of stopping their children from bedwetting. Keller says one family admitted beating their child and makt'n� him sleep in a wet bed - admitted- ly the fust time they'd been abu- sive and contrary to their love and desire for their son to stop wetting the bed.

Apr. 26, 1989 Bill Watt's Worlds IN PRINT: Possession by Peter James (Doubleday) has quite one of the most chill- ing endings we have ever read. It is another novel about a dead spirit (is that a redundancy?) attempting to take over an earthbound body. Well, we've all read many novels on the same theme and frankly this one isn't that much better than any of them. In fact, there is the feel- ing throughout that it has been padded out con- siderably more than need- ful. Yet, all is forgiven on the very last page and indeed in the very last two words. Of corse, we have no in- tention of revealing them. We suggest only that readers resist the tempta- tion to slip ahead. And . . don't be alone when you finish Possession! ON RECORD: Cineplex Odeon Corpora- tion has announced that it has secured the North American rights to the newest musical presenta- tion of composer Andrew LJoyd ( Phantom of the Opera) Webber. It is a theatrical concert titled with singular straight forwardness, The Music of Andrew Loyd Webber. It will star his wife Sarah Brightman, the original Christine in the London and Broadway productions of Phantom with a 70 piece symphony orchestra and a mixed chorus of 10. It will premiere in Van- couver m May 25th. As we are writing this, there is no information about a Toron- to engagement but our sources hint broadly that there will be one and that it will be at The O'Keefe. We'll pass on any further information as and when. In the meantime, should any readers be going to Vancouver, tickets can be ordered by calling Charge- By-Pbme at 604-280.4444. Readers might also be in- terested terested in a new release from the splendid Relativity/ First Night label ( WEA Canada) . It is The Music of Andrew Lloyd Webber performed by soloists with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra under the direction of Michael Reed. It's enjoyable enough one supposes but just a tad disappointing. You see, the music of Mr. Webber doesn't stand up well out- side of the theatre or other- wise out of context. As well, his music, in the album anyway, seems to have been treated with a reverence that approaches awe. Fair enough but much of the power has been lost. Pie Jesus from Requiem is fine listening but many of the other compositions simply don't have it here. We think we need say little more than that the most en- joyable cut is the throw- away hrowaway number from Evita, High Flying Adored. (It has been reworked from the classics before; remember How Gentle is the Rain from a few years ,) ago We repeat that this is not a bad album cassette EP but anyone -and possibly there might be some -who has not seen a Webber pro- duction, might wonder what all the excitement is about after listening to it.

Bill Wilson was a W.W.I. war hero who had a drink- ing problem. He was, in tact, an alcoholic. Deter- mined to straighten up his life, he sought out Dr. Bob Smith, an alcoholic surgeon. Out of their com- mittment grew the unove- ment that became ,Alcoholics Anonymous. James Woods stars as the former; James Garner, the latter. We haven't seen a preview but the advance word is that this is a winner .. a real wir>onr. We have never forgotten a personal experience with A.A. We were quite young at the time and our employer had sent us out on a project to research the organization. It was mid- March and we had a dread- ful cold We went to the then head- quarters on Hayden ( Hayter?) Street for infor- mation. A kindly gentleman approached us inside the door, looked at our red nose, put an arm around our shoulder and iw vited us to "talk it over". When we explained that we were simply seeking in- formation, not aid, we both had a hearty laugh. It re- mains though that A.A. cared enough to offer help to a stranger. Our name is Bill Watt, we are not an alcoholic but we support Alcoholics Anonymas. Watch My Name is Bill W. and be moved as we were many years ago. FOOT NOTE: We've just received word from Book Communica- tions System in New York that Fawcett Crest are preparing a paperback edi- tion for release in June of Getting Better, Inside Alcoholics Anonymas. It's written by Nan Robertson who is the widow of A -A. founder Bill Wilson.

FAST EXIT: Our apologies for the brevity of the column but we are leaving short- ly for a brief visit to Quebec City.

They increas- ingly rely on the Student Guidance Information System (SGIS) and .... tea' pro- gram to assist etude d3 with career options. In the past, they have been more proportionally busy with personal counselling. It is during the grade seven and eight years when secon- dary scion$options are chosen and career couraselling is most impor- tant. The board suggests tr- od "home room" teachers could serve as a further resource for career ioudance at this time. The board expressed sbu* reservations regar- ding proposed changes to The Ministry of Education's "Goals of Education". A proposed wording change states, "Ontario strives to provide in the schools of the pro- vince equal opportunity and equality of outcome for all... 'The board strongly sup- ports equality of opportuni- ty ty for all, eliminating systemic barriers and pro- viding opportunity and sui - port to encourage all students to reach their in- dividual potential. However the objective should be to raise the cur- rent Standard of education, not lower it to achieve equality- "Equality quality"Equality of outcome for all infers that all students will be expected to achieve similar results. We must recognize that individual accomplishments will vary significantly," says Ron Robinson, Chairman of The Board's Education Com- mittee. Wed.

The Variety Village Aquatic Wing For many years the peo- ple at Variety Village have sought to help young people with physical disabilities. A few years ago, they open- ed their athletic training centre. This year they are about to open the new aquatic wing. Last summer Her Royal Highness Princess Nk Bad, officially opened the new aquatic wing_ however, the subsequent labour disputes in the con- struction industry delayed the completion. The new facility will be opened and operating in late May or early June, 1949. The new aquatic wing has cast a total of $5.7 million, one million of which was funded by the province of Ontario. The addition will house a 40 metre indoor pool with six lanes, and will be equipped with many amenities for youngsters with special needs. It will feature underwater viewing areas and diving facilities. The most remarkable feature of this new pool will be its movable bulkhead that will make it possible to convert the pool into dif- ferent lengths. In addition, there will be a wading pool, and the entire facility will be wheelchair accessible. The facility is primarily intended for those with special needs, however it is also available for others. Members of the public can purchase memberships in Variety Village and avail themselves of the facilities in the off-llolrs.

Rachel King The islands of Malta and Gozo he south west of Sici- ly, due north of Libya. Washed by the Mediterra- nean Sea this brings the cold winds of winter and hot winds of summer. Malta's temperate climate gives it the chance of 2-3 crops of certain vegetables and flowers each year, some of these items they export to northern markets of Europe. The rocky outcrops of yellowish limestone are numerous and the Maltese have preserved many tiny areas to develop their agriculture, apart from vegetables and flowers they grow grapes and pro- duce a couple of good wines, their ale is ex- cellent. Malta has a long and somewhat varied history. It boasts of several ancient temples, built in the days before the pyramids! One cave I visited, has yielded bones of prehistoric animals, known to an- thropologists and ar- cheologists as European species rather than African. So we assume that Malta was joined to Italy at one stage in the dim past. The interlacing of roads and lanes provides the basis for cheap bra ser- vices all over the islands of Malta and Gozo. Some of the buses pre -date 1934 but they rattle along the coun- tryside with happy Maltese crowding in and chatting to the tourist and often the chat is most informative. The old Maltese language - a eosin to Arabic is used by all but nearly everyone spea Enafish also. Ittakes a while to get us- ed to the bouurs shops, be and museu=ms are open- Shops open around a a.m. to 12 nom and 4 to a p.m. banks open around a a.m. and close for the day between 12:30 to 1 p.m. Museums are usually open by 9 a.m. and close at 4 p -m. on the dot!! Restaurants rarely open before 10 a.m. but stay open until late. Valetta is the largest city on Malta and it is truly a history book city. All streets are straight!! Arabs, Phoenicians, Romans, Greeks and all in between have left their mark on Malta. St. Paul was shipwrecked there on his way to Rome. For cen- turies, the Order of St. John Hospice ruled Malta - they were the nobles of Chris- tian Faith who battered around the Saracens or vice versa. At any rate the various orders of knights left their ability to provide incredi- ble works of art in numerous churches, chapels and various For all your trawl needs "We'll show you what Travel Service really means" 2848300 MORNINGSIOE MALL The mall entrance beside Woolco, Upper Level OPEN ?30 a.m. • •:30 p.m. Mon.

Church and chapel ceil- ings are painted in a 3D ef- fect and are utterly incredi- ble, perhaps even more outstanding than the famed Sistine Chapel in the Vatican. Malta is a must for those interested in ec- clesiastical architecture. Stained glass windows of glorious hues, silver, gold and brass altar adornment is staggering when one con- siders its value today. The Maltese are friendly, gently people, they have d a long love affair with the sea and the fish dishes vary and are delicious. Braised rabbit is perhaps their pike de r6sistance in culinary art. The Maltese still produce beautiful lace, intricate, colourful glass art, they knit furiously and are clever with the design of silver and gold jewelery. We were fortunate enough to be there for pre -lent car- nival, a very colourful time, and a parade which included 46 floats. Although I visited several hotels, none were more than 1st class - no lux- ury class. However, the Casino offers some thrills and it is located in a rather ornate setting. Like many casinos, the one in Malta is m the building which was a palace for an Arabian gentleman some years ago. One does dress for the oc- casion but tuxedos are not required dress for mea Hose racing is one of the exciting sports on Malta but not in winter. There is one golf course to my knowledge and visitors are welcome. The Maltese have their old-style games which were formed cen- turies ago, they are fun to watch. Sailing is, of course, a favourite pastime from spring to autumn, fishing excursions are arranged at the same time of year and of course the young people wind surf. Some beaches provide excellent areas from which to swim but one does not venture into the sea until the end of May. Many hotels have pools which are heated by the sun. As an alternative, retired Canadians may like to try Malta instead of locations Wed.

Day Tripping Through P.E.I. by Kumari; Campbell The North Shore of Prince Edward Island, needs no introductions, promotion or fancy words. Its presence is known to all who seek the sunny shores of this paradise island. Like potatoes and red soil, the `north shore' is one of the hallmarks of P.E.I. The endless white sand beaches of the North Shoe, bordered on the one side by sweeping sand dunes and on the other by the lace - edged breakers that lap the shore, are to Canada what the French Riviera is to Europe. The Prince Edward Island National Park that encompasses much of the central North Shore, con- tains a variety of natural habitats, including dunes, salt marshes and freshwater ponds, thus ap- pealing to sunbathers, swimmers as well as nature lovers, birdwat- chers and beach -cumbers. To limit the riches of the North Shore to the beaches would be to slight the stun- ning beauty of the Southwest and Stanley Rivers: the rolling land- scape with a montage of fieW woodlots and water- ways; and the highways and byways that traverse theca all. The sight of small, white country churches, villages nestled between low ridges, pastoral scenes ofvazi livestock are bound to take yore breath away as they pop into view around every cog Thel . In addition to the natural attractions, a variety of man-made attractions await the visitor to this region.

Malta has very little crime and one feels very safe day or night. You may like to call your knowledgeable travel agent but few know much about Malta I found.

Lake Ontario Salmon Stocking The Ringwood Fish Culture Station has just stocked 200,000 yearling (13-15 months) Coho salmon, for the Lake On- tario fishery, in the Credit River, Bronte Creek and at Port Dalhousie. Within three to four weeks these fish will imprint on the river and migrate to Lake Ontario. This process, known as "smoltification,', means that most of these fish will return as adults in the fall of 1990 to the river in which they were stocked. By August of this year, these fish will grow from 20 g. (approximately 1 oz) to 1 kg. (2 lbs.) and by the fall of 1990 some may reach 6 - 7 kg. (13-15 lbs). Later this spring 540,000 Chinook fingerlings will also be stocked Chinook "smolt" at a younger age than Cohn. The Ringwood Fish Culture Station has a self guided visitor centre, open to the public 9 a.m. to 12 noon and 1 to 4 p.m. daily, except holidays. The sta- tion is located on Highway 48, two kilometers north of the StouffvWe Road. cent country gardens and arts and crafts par ex- cellence.

Queen' Report from Norah Stoner MPP Durham West Durham College has been approved to deliver a demonstration project to assist women's access to appren- ticeship. These demonstration projects, funded by the Ministry of Skills Development and the Ontario Women's Directorate, represent a significant step toward increasing the numbers of women entering apprenticeship in the non-traditional skilled occupations and facilitating the completion of their training. In addition, the Government's goal is to increase the numbers of employers and unions training women ap- prentices. These projects will develop new ways to provide outreach to women, employers and unions. They will bring together support services available in the community to assist women in seeking apprenticeship opportunities. These pro- jects will also promote women as apprentices to employers and unions, and assist in reducing existing barriers in the workplace. Furthermore, marketing, awareness and the availability of information will be coordinated with other local groups and interested parties. To manage all of these activities, Durham College has been approved to hire a project coor- dinator. These demonstration projects are part of a wide-ranging strategy to reduce the barriers to women's access to ap- prenticeship. Through partnerships with local groups, other levels of government. employers and unions, we hope to create local networks and outreach activities for women. These partnerships are committed to a strategy to in- crease awareness to the issue and to provide program infor- mation to ensure women's access. For more information about this initiative, call my Queen's Park office at 9651929. NORAH'S .NOTES: The Ajax Spartans Baseball Association has been award- ed a Wudanio grant.
