Annual Report of Property Damage or Loss Presented Supt. of Business Brian Cain presented to trustees the board's Annual Report of Property Damage or Loss. The number of occur- rences in 1968 has not in- creased over 1987, but the cost of damages and loss has increased 51%, from $146,580. in 1987 to $221,479. in 1968. A large portion of this increase can be at- tributed to two or three ma- jor occurrences. Trustees asked several questions about the Board's process for recovering any of the costs and about the nature of some of the damage. Please Don'! Drink and Drive Lorna Murphy, Superinten- dent of Business Brian Cain and Trustees Ian Brown and Loirise Farr held a brief informal meeting with Minister of Education Chris Ward on the after- noon of Apr. 10th. Local MPP's Alan Furlong and Bill Ballanger were also present. The Durham group im- pressed upon the Minister Durham's desperate need for capital funding alloca- tions for new schools, and upgradings and renova- tions to existing facilities. Durham's support of the concept of lot levies was discussed as was Durham's opposition to the proposal to pool industrial and com- mercial assessment. The topics of classroom loading factors and debenturing as a means to finance new capital construction in Durham were introduced by the minister. Durham representatives were en- couraged by the productivi- ty of the brief meeting. Seek Nominations The Counsellors' Association of the Region of Durham (C.

May 3, 1959 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Double Talk by Bob Watson The latest federal budget has come as a big shock to most Canadians and also a disappointment that financial affairs of this country are handled so poorly. The first surprise was that Michael Wilson predicts a big- ger deficit on the 1989 federal budget than in 1988, despite the increase in taxes to Canadians! It seems rather obvious to most Canadians, who have to wrestle with mortgages and household costs, that to balance a budget one must in- crease revenues and cut costs. At Ottawa there seems to be no real effort to reduce the amount of government casts and there certainly is no reduction in the amount of money toss- ed away every day to cultural and sports groups across the country. Most of these groups could handle their own finan- cing if compelled by a lack of federal funds. This finance minister has been talking about reducing the deficit for some years but he has meant the current year's deficit which only means that instead of adding $32 billion to the huge national debt, he was only adding S29 billion to the rapidly growing total debt. Homeowners can't do that and survive .. and neither can governments. To handle the crisis of today we believe Mr. Wilson should have faced facts and doubled income taxes for a couple of years to knock down the total huge debt. Then in the third vear he could have declared a "dividend" year with the taxes back to normal. It certainly is too bad that federal and provincial govern- ments are not required to operate with a proper debt handl- ing system, which local municipal governments are re- quired to do. Years of building a national debt has left Ot- tawa with no alternative but more taxes. Canada Post Reaches High Canada Past Corporation has recorded an all-time high level of performance in the first quarter of 1989, according to the latest Clarkson Gordon report. According to the report. on a national basis. 94 percent of the mail for the same urban centre Was delivered within Canada Post's two day commitment: between urban cen- tres in the same province. 95 percent was delivered within the standard of three business days: and between urban centres in different pro%inces. 96 percent within the four- dav commitment. Letter To The Editor Inequalities Sir: Scarborough Public School Trustees have every right to be angry that two provincial ministries have refused to pro- vide for a special counsellor to aid 60 native Indian children and their families adjust to their new school and new sur- roundings. ( Neglecting native children say Scarborough trustees. The New-,. March 29, 1909). By contrast. The Globe and :Nail reported on Mar. 7th, that the Scarborough Board has four full-time counsellors working with the Greek. Chinese, Black and Asian com- munties. One would expect that funding for these counsellors would have come from the very ministries who are now pre -occupied in this very squabble. This brings to mind it all depends upon who you are and what you repre- sent in today's society. For what it may well prove, it is very interesting to note that the incumbent Liberal M.P.P. for Scarborough Ellesmere is seen rising again and again during question period in the house asking the various ministers for funds on behalf of his multicultural constituents and he certainly seems to get results in these areas. It is a great pity that he could not provide the same degree of enthusiasm for native people, or is it simply a matter of "There's no votes out there to worry about,- insofar as he is concerned. In addition, our elected representatives and cabinet ministers alike lose all sight of the fact that revenue is tax money and tax money is the taxpayers' money. These funds are for the use of the community as a whole and not for the exclusive use of any one preferential group. Arrogance and insensitivity to need seem to be the trademark of the incumbent Liberal government at Queen's Paris. Sincerely Wm. D.

City Fountain In all this vast city of grey -clothed buildings I came across an oasis, a blend of bird, bench and grass. I paused a while and tasted of the joy of waters spurting endlessly mocking the bird with its promise of peace, yet it was not a place of peace. I saw misery in a thousand ways, crease wrinkled faces which had lost all grace, grass to look at, not to touch, impalas bold, but dead as dust. I felt the grey of the grimy buildings, it tainted my soul, I had to flee and return at night when all colour is fused to make this a wonderment that it was meant to be. by Bertha Kronenberg Here and There Sales Down In March The latest round of mortgage interest rate increases may be exerting downward pressure on home sales. According to a survey released by The Canadian Real Estate Associa- tion (CREA) , nearly 5 percent fewer resale homes were sold in March in major centres across Canada than during the same month a year earlier. $84,218 Provincial Grant The Association of Community Information Centres in Ontario (ACICO) will enhance the technical and marketing capabilities of its membership with the help of grants totall- ing $84,218. The ACICO is developing a province -wide Automated Network that will enable its members to share resources and communicate more effectively. $128,270 Provincial Grant Toronto's Desr+osiers Dance Theatre will soon be rehears- ing its innovative works in a new rehearsal space renovated with the help of a $128,270 grant. The funding. from the ministry's Cultural Facilities Improvemtent Program (CFH'), will be applied towards the costs of converting a former warehouse on Eastern Ave. to accommodate rehearsal studios. administrative offices, workshop and storage space, showers, a sauna and massage areas for dancers. $85,000 Provincial Grant The Community Information Centre of Metro Toronto will automate its database and telecommunications system with the help of a 585,000 grant. The system will be compati- ble with the Automated Network being developed by the Association of Community information Centres in Ontario. The network will link community information centres across the province, allowing them to share resources and communicate more effectively. Phillips :Announced Grant Citizenship Minister Gerry Phillips has announced a grant of $245,000 to the Prabasi Bengali Cultural Associa- tion for the purchase and renovation of a community cen- tre. The association is the almagamated name of the former Prabast and Bengali Associations. The combined associa- tion represents the East Indian community organization which has provided social. cultural and community ser- vices over the past 10 years. Hang On To Your Wallets by Gay Abbate Metro taxpayers better hang on to their wallets because the tax man at various levels of government will soon be knocking at their door. It was bad enough to learn that the federal government is increasing income taxes but now both Metro Toronto and the school boards have approved hefty property tax in- creases. Metro taxes are going up by 12.4% as a result of Metro Council approving a $2.1 billion budget last week. This will add about $55 onto the average property tax bill. This represents only one quarter of the tax bill. The total increase is calculated by adding the municipal increase (also one-quarter) and the school boards (one- half). The school tax increase in Metro for both public and separate schools is 14.4%. Metro's mill rate increase last year was 3.2%. Since 1964, Metro's total operating budget has increased by $794 million. Both school board and Metro blame reduced pro- vincial subsidies for the large increases this year. Letter To The Editor Out Of Control Dear Sir: Metropolitan Toronto residents are on the verge of a spate of inflation that will create instances of real priva- tion. I refer to the cost of residential accommodation given a hefty uplife by increased taxes and utilities. We have a large group already reliant on food banks because most of their income is assigned to housing costs. We have a similar group of retired home owners who pro- vided for their retirement on the assumption that 12 or 15 thousand in pension and OAS should suffice to keep them comfortable and independent. To these people an additional 4 or 5 hundred bucks per year are a real hardship. They have little or no area of discretionary spending to manouver and cover as would a family income of say 25 thousand. If there might be anyone out there who occasionally stops to assess what is going on around them, I suggest that you consider the compound effect of the ridiculous trend setting settlement of Toronto Hydro, another Government agency which simply dips into the old barrel (the taxpayers' pocket) to cover their financial needs. To agree to add another $5 to $6 thousand gross pay to an employee who is currently compensated by a gross pay of 540,354 ( plus over- time etc) plus some 11 or 12 thousand in benefits, and ex- pect those additional costs to be picked up by a society that contains such a large segment with little or no discre- tionary spending is grossly stupid and should not go un- challenged. Where are the signals from the Provincial labour depart- ment'! Not a peep out of Sorbara or his colleagues of the "caring" governors. The only individual with power to act is a substantially independent called John Crowe. But I sup- pose politics would prevent any cooperation with his at- tempt to put a lid on a very dangerous situation. Shame on you, Queen's Park. D. Crawford Smyth Here and There $35,920 Provincial Grant The Wanepuhntd Corporation will enhance its ability to serve the special needs of employment -disadvantaged Native women in Toronto with the help of a $35,920 grant. For Micro Computers Provincial allocation for school boards for the purchase of grant -eligible microcomputers will total 571.1 million in 1989, Education Minister Chris Ward has announced. The boards may use these monies to buy grant -eligible microcomputers, specialized equipment, high-tech pro- ducts and to improve teacher computer training in 1989, the Minister said. $124,618 Provincial Grant Citizenship Minister Gerry Phillips has presented a che- que of $124.618 to Human Services of Scarborough ( HSS) to host a Cultural Interpreter Pilot Project for one year. Scarborough's pilot project will help immigrant women, who are the victims of wife assault. to access health. social and legal services. The Cultural Interpreter Pilot Project is part of the ministry's wife assault initiatives and a compo- nent of the provincial government's $33.5 million program, which involves 15 ministries over five years. :96.630 For Youth Centre The Scarborough Area Youth Employment Service, 1200 Markham Rd.. Scarborough, has received $96,630 from the Ministry of Skills Development. York University Gets $6.1 Million York University will receive $6.1 million in new capital grants to assist the university in responding to increased student enrolment. Projects to be funded include The Atkin- son Outreach Program, which will expand course offerings to 37 off -campus sites for 61 separate courses in Arts and Science 4707,000); ; Academic facilities at the new Calumet Residential College which will be constructed with assistance from the University Student Residence Program announced in June, 1988(51,500,000); the expansion of the University's Faculty of Education pre -service teacher education program to more areas in Southern Ontario ( $2,860.000) : and the conversion of the existing space into undergraduate science laboratories and for renovations to Glendon College facilities 1$674,000).

Concerts In The Park If you remember those good oi' Concerts in the Park, you'll be interested to know that Scarborough is having a "Concert on the Shore". That's right. On Sun. May 7th, go to the foot of Bnmley Rd.. Scarborough when Bluffer's Park Marina will host the Cathedral Bluff's Sym- phony Orchestra during Sunday Brunch. While the Marina has adopted Cathedral Bluffs for its home, the symphony has adopted Cathedral Bluffs as its official name. After more than a full year of business oepration for the Marina, and four years of being in concert for the orchestra, the time has come for the two to get together for what could become an annual date. The 70 -piece orchestra, dressed in concert attire, will perform from 1 to 3 p. m. on the third level of the Marina. The perfor- mance will include ex- cerpts from Showboat and South Pacific as well as many other favourites. The sponsorship by Tridel, through their con- tribution has made this event possible. To attend the brunch, call the Marina at 2664556 and make a reservation.

"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 I am tired of hearing 'don't worry he will out- grow it' - also 1 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 srttoopp bedwetting says Canadian Chil- dren's Centre director Vincent Fowler. In 14 years the Centre has successfully treated thousands of bedwetters, and receives a large number of inquiries from adults who still have the problem. But quite often a doctor will say 'Don't worry, your child will out- grow it.' That's beaux most doc- tors don't want the parents to wor- ry. A history of bedwetting in the family can reduce the chances a child will outgrow it." Psychologist Dr. Warren Baller of the University of California at Loa 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 family 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- tial 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 -pend the night with a friend. They live in con- stant fear of ridicule - that 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 beda-etting." 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 night within six months of 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 - After children are toilet trained, he says. waking in the morning wearing a diaper or aleeping in a wet bed can't help but affect them emotionally. They know they are a disappointment to themselves and their parents. 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 li . ds 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 Academy 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, success 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. Mout 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 sleeper- with a short attention span. Keller :Rays 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 uve- nile delinquents were or had =n 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 making 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.

The truth is that Tagore has almost everything go- ing for it except the choreography which seems little more than a series of moving posture studies. Since we started this critique with a comment on food, let tic conclude with another. Hold the capers'. Preceding Tagore on the double bill is The Dream which features the choreography of Sir Frederick Ashton set to Mendelssohn's incidential music for Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream.

CURTAIN UP: The following reviews, delayed by our travels to the Second Solitude, are now enough after the fact of the primary reviews to have the advantage of relative detachment. Join tis first at .. . STAGE I: The Kiss of the Spider Woman was first a novel by the Argentinian writer Manuel Puig. It was then rewritten as a play and eventually became the ac- claimed motion picture of a few years ago .. 1965 to be exact. One supposes that a musical version -maybe Spider Women meets the Jolly Gwent Giant. or what ever -is in the offing. Till then, the stage play is presently being offered by the Canadian Stage Company at the Downstairs Free, 26 Berkeley St. Though there are three cast members listed, it is a two character play. Valentin is a political ac- tivist in prison -actually a gaol -for his political ac- tivities. His cell mate. Molina is there for homosexual adulteration of children. Or is he? Set in the round on a revolving stage, the play examines, discloses and ultimately exploits the in- ner torments of both. There is a hook of surprise which must not be mentioned but which adds a dimension of narrative to what is essen- tially a character piece. Over two acts the typical- ly brutish and brutishly. typical Valentin softens and, either for ulterior gain or because of late developed perception of the softer emotions eventually makes physical love with Molina. The latter accepts pruriently but whether for gratification or gain is left to the audience to deter- mine. Kiss is most definitelv a play for lovers of theatre, not those who seek simply an everting of diversion. Lovers of theatre, however, will enjoy the sharp, determinate direc- tion of Michael Shama and the possibly inspired per- formances of Stuart Hughes as Valentin and Joseph Ziegler as Molina. An odd couple indeed but what a couple! And, what a coupling! erotic but tasteful. Mr. Hughes is every half baked reformer one has ever met. He is simplistic to the point of ignorance, passionate to the point of fanaticism. He is indeed quintessence of the well in- tentioned and more or less kindly disposed twit. As Molina, Joseph Zeigler is gentle and ef- feminate but not sissy. He virtually eschews the limp wrist in favour of and disposition toward a soft voice and a gentle maturer. He could have been played a la slim Divine: he is, in- deed, played as an un - matured Felix Unger. A notable performance in- deed.

May 3, 1989 THE NEWSIPOST Page ll Metro Toronto Council News Brimley Rd. Traffic Metro Council has established a speed limit of 60 kms. between Kingston Rd. and Eglinton Ave. E. and heavy trucks are pro- hibited at all times on Brimley between Eglinton Ave. E. and Ellesmere Rd. Stopping is prohibited at all times on both sides of Brimley Rd. between Pro- gress Ave. and Hwy. 401. Metro assumed Brimley Rd. from Kingston Rd. to 401 as of Jan. 1st 1989. Re- cent data from the City of Scarborough indicates that traffic volumes on Brimley Rd. range from 11,900 vehicles north of St. Clair Ave. E. to 26,800 vehicles south of Ellesmere Ave. Victoria Park Ave. Lights Metro is going to install traffic lights at the in- tersection of Victoria Park Ave. and Holswade Rd. Sunrise Ave. but through traffic between Holswade Rd. and Sunrise Ave. is to be prohibited. Wants Sheppard Subway Mayor Mel Lastman told the Apr. 16th meeting of Metro Toronto Council that he is still trying to get the Sheppard Subway started. He said that $1 billion of development had been completed in North York's centre and there was $3 billion to come but a sub- way was essential. The mayor pointed out that three years ago the TTC said that the Sheppard line was No.1 on its list of future developments. But now the province wants Metro to spend $160 million for a short extension to the Metro Toronto Bd. of Trade Executive Teachers' Pensions The board believes that the Ontario Teachers' Federation (OTF) is being unreasonable in its protest against government - proposed increases in pen- sion plan contributions. In its letter, the board ex- pressed concern that, while the teachers' basic pension fund has a small (i33 million ) surplus, the sup- plementary fund which provides for increases in- dexed to the rate of infla- tion has a deficit of at least $5 billion. The OTF, however, is arguing that it is entitled to the surplus in the basic fund, while ignoring the $5 billion deficit in the sup- plementary fund. The board suggests that this is "equivalent to someone who goes on a shopping spree because he has money in one bank account although he has a vastly larger overdraft in another account." The board thus believes that the government's pro- posed funding increase of 1% of salary which the OTF opposes is entirely justified. Bill 162 An Act to Amend the Workers' Compensation Act Bill 162 proposes substan- tial amendments to the compensation system for workers who are per- manently impaired as a result of work-related in- juries. The board endorses the proposed "dual award" pension system, supports reinstatement and re- employment rights for workers and believes that the positive obligations the Bill imposes on the Workers' Compensation Board with respect to voca- Summary tional rehabilitation are necessary - The board recommends a number of amendments to the Bill with a view to pro- viding more balance in the rights and responsibilities shared by the parties. Cap On Flight Levels at Pearson Writing in reply to the board's submission, Federal Minister of Transport Benoit Bouchard emphasized that recent measures introduced. in- cluding the 70 flights an hour cap at Pearson Air- port, are only temporary ones (-Restore Airside Capacity to Pearson Air- port" January 19, 1989). The Minister stated "these temporary measures are by no means the ultimate solution to the situation at Pearson Airport." Rather, long-term solutions were seen as critical. To this end the Minister reaffirmed his Department's position that the training of new con- trollers is a top priority. Pay Equity Hearings Tribunal Representatives of the board's Labour Relations Committee met in early March with the chairman and senior officials of the Pay Equity Hearings Tribunal. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the board's recent submis- sion on the Rules of Prac- tice to be observed in mat- ters brought before the Tribunal ( "Proposed Rules of Practice for the Pay Equity Hearings Tribunal", Feb. 23, 1969). The representatives from both the board and the tribunal felt the meeting to be of value and discussions are expected to continue. - - - Spadina subway and this was just waste. He said that this was only good if it moves along Sheppard and a clear message should be sent to the province. Right now he said there were 6000 people on buses along Sheppard in an hour and 100,000 cars. Mr. Lastman said that after meeting with the minister ( Hon. Ed. Fulton) he had indicated that the province would support the Sheppard subway. Councillor Howard MoscoP said he doesn't trust the province and this extra piece of Spadina sub- way (in his ward) only saves 15 seconds. He pointed out that the golden rule is that "he who has the gold makes the rule". Councillor Scott Cavalier added his opinion that "if you think the province is bluffing forget it!" Councillor Maureen Prinsloo moved that a survey should be done by the TTC and transportation staff to have a reserved bus lane on Sheppard Ave. E. from Leslie to Pharmacy during peak periods and this was passed.

Classification tracks, of which there are already 63, are holding tracks where rail cars are shunted before being hooked up to a locomotive. The yard was originally designed in 1964 to accom- modate 72. The new tracks should be finished this sum - What has Trimmer con- cerned is the possibility of Larnbton yard operation in the City of Toronto being relocated to the Scar- borough yard. An internal CP memo dated Nov. 6. 1987, outlines the consolida- tion of the two yards for an annual saving of over $2 million. CP officials refus- ed to comment on Lambton yard's future. If Lambton is closed, at a loss of 40 jobs, all the trains coming into Toronto will have to go to the Agincourt yard thus increasing the number of rail cars through Scarborough and possibly the amount of dangerous goods. I'm very concerned about public safety," Trim- mer said. She said the ex- pansion is a sign that CP is "digging in their heels" at a time when the federa-1 government is setting up a committee to look at the feasibility of relocating the ward to rural areas north of Metro. John Cox, CP's manager of public relations. said there will be no increased train traffic as a result of the Agincourt expansion. Trimmer was angry that CP had not notified her of the expansion. "CP should let people know instead of doing it secretly," she said. 10,000 For Ball Game For the seventh year run- ning, the Blue Jays Baseball Club, the Variety Club of Ontario - Tent 28, and the Ontario Ministry of Community and Social Ser- vices, are pooling their resources to bring 10,000 children and adult escorts to a major league baseball game in Toronto on May 6. The Blue Jays Baseball Club donate the 10,000 game tickets, the Variety Club pay the costs of transporting the children and escorts from outside of Toronto to the game and the ministry provides staff to co-ordinate the project. Tom Ziskos promises EVERYDAY SAVINGS on all 1989 PONTIACS 1989 BUICKS and 1989 GMC TRUCKS and all used cars in stock -Of all the good wort the Variety Club does on behalf of childrer-, this project is the most fun," said Uoyd Kishino, Chairman of the Blue Jays Variety Kids Day. "Four airplanes and over 110 buses have been arranged to bring the children to Toronto for the game. When you see the thousands of children boun- ding out of that number of buses and into the north grandstand at exhibition stadium, all of the months of planning and co- ordination for the event are well worth the effort." s Tom Ziskos Salesman PONTIAC I BUICE LTD.

MOTORCYCLE TRAINING COURSE Durham College is offering a training course (and licence test) for over 16's who would like to improve their motorcy- Queen's Park Report from Norah Stoner MPP Durham West Public Health Programs Public health units will get an additional $25 million over the next four years to introduce new public health pro- grams. The announcement was made recently by Health Minister Elinor Caplan. The new initiative will require boards of health to ensure that a variety of programs are available to help children, adolescents, adults and the elderly achieve and maintain good health. "These new programs mark a new era in public health," Mrs. Caplan said. The healthy adults program will encourage screening and early detection of breast cancer, cervical cancer and high blood pressure. The reproductive health program will stress preconception health education for the first time. The battle against communicable disease will be expand- ed to include steps to prevent hepatitis B and to prevent in- fluenza amongst the frail elderly and other high risk groups. It will also include an infection control program which will cover not only hospitals, but nursing homes, homes for the aged and child care facilities. Local boards of health will become more involved in in- vestigating concerns about environmental contaminants and determining whether actual health problems exist. "Partnership will be the key to the implementation pro- cess, just as it was to the planning process," Mrs. Caplan said. "Boards of health must take the lead in ensuring that their communities have programs to encourage good nuta- tion. physical fitness. and smoking prevention." The Ministry of Health is hoping that by the year 2000.75 percent of all adults will participate in physical activity and 85 percent will be non-users of tobacco. Also included in the mandatory programs are: - akWx)l and drug abuse prevention programs in schools and the workplace. - provision of 24 hour emergency services to respond to out- breaks of communicable disease or emergencies. Boards of health will work with the ministry to introduce the programs in the 43 health units during the next four years. Ministry funding for the new initiatives will consist of $22 million for the programs and almost $3 million to develop information systems and orientation workshops. Norah's Notes: The Ministry of Education has allocated more than 588 million in capital grants to the two boards of education in Durham region. The Durham Board of Education will use its share of the funds for 13 capital projects while the Durham Region Separate School Board will use its share to fund 2tl capital projects. The Pickering Motorcycle Safety Council has been awarded a $2000 grant from the Ministry of the Attorney General. The organization will use the funds to promote its fight against drinking and driving.
