The Ministry of Education rejected the board's re- quest for approval. As the low bidder was unable to maintain the original tender price, and his new price became the fourth lowest bid, the board was able to award the contract to Bradscott and receive the ministry's approval. A full report on the board's tendering process will be prepared by staff early in the new school year. Occupancy Of New Schools Discussed Both S.A. Cawker PS, Port Perry, and Glen Dhy PS, Whitby, will be ready for occupancy on the first day of school. The library and day care facility at Glen Dhu may not be ready until later in the week and the G.P. rooms at both schools until later in the month. Concern was expressed over the current progress at Highbush PS, Pickering. A decision as to whether to delay the opening of the school. until Sept. 11, 1969 will be made later this week. If the opening is delayed, every effort will be matte to notify parents of the decision before the Labour Day weekend. The board highly com- mended staff, both at the board office and at the new schools, for the many extra hours they spend readying the buildings and classrooms for the students. Orientation Breakfast A Success The success of the first New Teacher Orientation Breakfast held earlier in the day at Eastdale CVI was discussed by trustees and staff.

Rhonda and Janis were wished much success in their future endeavors. 2 THE NEWS'POST Wed. Sept. 13, 1989 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Lack Of Leadership If one of our governments did a survey of Canadian opi- nion these days we believe they would find some rather unbelievable (to the politicians) things. In our opinion a majority of Candaians have no feeling for any of the three major political parties and find voting a game of putting down an "X" for the least disliked candidate! Both provincial and federal parties in power are not listening to the majority of citizens and giving the leader- ship which the voters expect from a group in power. Avoiding issues seems to be more of the style in our Cana- dian political scene and yet we believe that most Canadians would react favourably to a leader who makes a very positive statement on an important issue. In Ontario Premier Peterson is not getting the message about bilingualism which he is putting into action. The French language could be utilized when it is necessary for French-speaking citizens but to issue all government documents in both languages is wasting the resources of the province. The same applies to the federal government. At the federal level the PM and his finance minister have yet to get the message that their GS tax of 9% is not accep- table by the public or business. But they are hanging on to the idea regardless as if it has real meaning. Canadians would pay more income tax - IF the money collected went towards the national debt. But mast of us are looking for a cut in public spending to halt the increase in the debt and we are not getting that. We suggest that our governments should start listening before it is too late and we have three more political parties in action. Discrimination Dear Sir: Re: The French Language Services Act of Ontario Never was there a more damaging Bill legislated against the people of Ontario. (Millions spent and the true extent of designated areas Not revealed.) Never was a Bill passed in Ontario with such secrecy and deceit! Never was there a greater need for information to be made available to the public! Never has an Ontario Bill been more discriminating against English-speaking people. Never did the people of Ontario give Mr. Peterson a man- date to proceed with this legislation. He has forgotten that "the right to govern is derived from the governed". Never was there a greater need for a legislated Bill to be rescinded: Bill 8, The French Language Service Act was passed on Nov. 18, 1986 with 70 of 125 members absent! Why' It was passed in French in the Legislature and recorded in French in the Hansard Report i the public record) - for the 95% English-speaking residents of On- tario? Why the Secrecy' If this bill is such fair and equitable legislation, why were the details not made public'' At least 9C3% of the population of Ontario is already included in designated areas, ex. Toronto, with a 1.2$ Francophone population, is a designated area. To quote Bob Runciman, '.MPP IAv&- Grenville, ..there was no meaningful debate. no reference to a standing committee to take a look at what the implica- tions of the legislation meant to Ontario and no recorded vote". "I think there has been too much effort and attempt by this government to cover up this issue, to have rnean- ingful public discussion about what is happening in terms of language services in this province, the cost implications, social implications, etc. This is another effort to further that program of concealment... To again quote Mr. Runciman. - the wholesale extension of French language services in Ontario represents a "hor- rendous waste of tax dollars", whose passage in 1986 mark- ed one of the "blackest days" in the history of the Legislature. - Send for particulars of Bill 8.

Two top students from North York public schools were among 14 student hosts of the Metro public schools exhibit. "Leaders in Learning". at this year's Canadian National Exhibition. The students were chosen from seven public school boards in :Metro Toronto to represent the .diverse achievements, interests and backgrounds of Metro public school students.

Sophia has served on the Students' Council, Leadership Council, and Students and Teachers Aware of Racism ( STAR) and received an award Power At Cost To the Editor: Where are all the Hydro Commissioners? Where is the Municipal Electric Association? Where are (or are there any) supporters of Sir Adam Beck's concept of Power at Cost in Ontario. Ever since the publication of the Ontario Budget I have been looking and waiting (in vain it seems) for the M.E.A., or even One elected Commissioner to draw public attention to the Peterson Government's eradication of power at cost in our province. From the days of Adam Beck, Ontario has been the model and pattern for industrial growth promoted and assisted by electric power produced and distributed at cost. No more! The Davis government was the first to breach the concept when they arbitrarily and dramatically increased "Water Power Rental Rates", changing them from a negotiable torten payment to a source of revenue for the provincial government. Then in one short paragraph at the back of the budget highlights. the Peterson Government buried for all time the concept of power at cost that has made dramatic contribu- tions to Ontario's development and growth. Casual mention of additional revenue measures in- clude: changes to land transfer tax. Water Power Rental Rates" and "Application Of A Debt Guarantee Fee To On- tario Hydro". Those few lines casually changed publicly owned Hydro into a government fund raiser. And not a peep from the Municipal Electric Association or our elected hydro commissioners. Alas. Like Wilson's new sales tax, Peterson's move not only in- creases government income without taxation, but adds two more sources of revenue that can be increased in every budget without showing up in the tax rates. And people will be expected to blame the local hydro commission for rais- ing rates, just as they are expected to blame local councils for raising municipal taxes after the province increases municipal costs and reduces provincial support. Let us hear no more criticism of Mr. Wilson from Mr. Peterson. But more important, we should make sure that history records that Premier Peterson and Robert Nixon were the leaders of the government that buried power at cost in On- tario. Shame. Jack L.

An OMA sponsored public information campaign will help physicians inform the public of the importance of an annual flu vaccination for people who are in high risk categories of suffering serious health problems as a result of contracting the flu. Electrical Research As part of an effort to transfer energy efficient electro - technologies to Canadian industry, Ontario Hydro's Research Division is promoting the carbon diaxide laser for such diverse uses as cutting, welding and heat treating. Division staff have set up a laboratory and demonstration facility to investigate and publicize specific industrial uses, and have established the Canadian Laser Association. A number of companies including Westinghouse Canada, General Motors and Omark Canada are already profiting frorn the use of CO2 laser technology. The laser beam's extremely high energy density (10,000 times more than from a torch or arc welder) is its fun- damerital advantage. Also, unlike the electron beam - its only competitor - it does not have to be used in a vacuum chamber.

The Ontario Ministry of Scarborough Residents Must Go To North York Court by Gay Abbate The lack of a proper courthouse is forcing Scar- borough residents to go to North York to contest traf- fic tickets. "It's a joke that a city the size of Scarborough doesn't have a decent courthouse," says Scarborough resident George Hogarth. He told council that he recently wanted to contest a speeding ticket but was told he had to do it in North York. The problem is a shor- tage of space at the present make -shift court house on Eglinton Ave. The carr- thouse is using retail facilities for its offices. 'there is an acute shortage of office space, court space and parking. As a result some Scarborough traffic officers are assigned to North York and tickets given out by them must be paid in North York. Scarborough was pro- I mised a new courthouse years ago when the pro- vince bought land on the northeast corner of Ellesmere and McCowan Rds. for that purpose. Earlier this year however, the province announced the site would be used for affor- dable lousing instead. On Monday, council pass- ed a resolution asking the province's attorney general to take immediate steps to improve cour- thouse facilities in Scar- borough and to review the present practice of sending people outside of their own municipalities to contest tickets. Councillor Ron Watson said it is no wonder Metro's roads are backlogged. "All the people are going to other municipalities to pay their tickets.

It lets students know that the adults in their lives recognize and appreciate their special qualities. It's a program that puts at- titude above accomplish- ment. The IBM Student Pen- nant Race is run in con- junction with all 26 major league clubs in North America and is part of IBM's official sponsorship of major league baseball. In every city during the 1988-89 school term, teachers at participating schools are asked to choose worthy students from their grade seven classes. "We want to give the pupils both a reward and some positive peer recognition," said Gaye Emery, Vice Presi- dent Central and Atlantic Regions, 113M Canada Ltd.

Sept. 13, 1889 Bill Watt's Worlds PARTY TIMES: The first Don des Etoiles is now a memory, an almost graphic memory of grace and elan, of muscle and strength, of speed and agility as displayed by fine dancers from the major ballet companies of the world. One looks forward with pleasure to the return of Le Don next year and for many years to come. It and the Erik Bruhn competition must now surely be con- sidered the two major dance events of the y ear . . any year. That said and while still remembering an evening of dance and a fine black tie party after at the beautifully decorated O'Keefe, may one offer Un cadeau de Guillaume to Le Don des Etoiles? The event is intended as, and indeed is, a display of the dancing talents of skill- ed artists. Presentations Don VaHey Chorus WANTED Women who enjoy singing. We meet on Tuesdays 7:30 p.m. at the Church of St. Andrew, 2333 Victoria Park Ave. No experience necessary.

Those who are not regular theatre goers can be unaware of full context• notwithstanding the ex- cellent program notes. There are many artists and not all are familiar to a total audience. As well, there can be changes of order, artists or works that are not reflected in the printed pro- gram. Given all that, might it not be possible to have tastefully prepared signs on tripods at either side of the stage stating the names of the dancers and the source of the dance? Some might remember when such signs were employed in variety theatres or revues. They need not detract from the dancers and might well enhance the en- joyment of the audience even more.

Free estimates Championship For Scarborough United by rCea Lebaa Port Scarborough United Women's Soccer Club claimed the Girls under -14 provincial title at the On- tario Soccer Association finals played in Burlington last weekend. The club also had a representative in three other divisional finals, but were defeated in closely - contested ggamer. The =r '14 Scorpions have enjoyed _ a l outstan- 9season, winning over a 2=htournaments, in- cluding the prestigious Robbie. Coach Alex Rodrigues is in his fifth season with the team, hav- ing won the Ontario title in the under -12 division two years They had the ma rity of the play in the final against Welland, but at the half time break the score was deadlocked at 0-0. A series of injuries to pplayers on both sides in the second half resulted in scrapp and disjointed play. ID7iieny as the final whistle was on- I minutes away forward Tasha Ellis pla ed the ball into theot th ofJackieLey who shinto the Welland net tor ve the Scorpions However it was short- lived as Welland went on the offence from the restart and levelled the score within ninety seconds. The Scorpions needed on- ly two minutes into over- time to re-establish their lead when Tasha Ellis col- lected a poor clearance and netted Iter team's second goal. The Scarborough girls held their opponents in check for the remainder of the overtime. and were a delighted group as they were presennted with the championship trophy and individual medals. The Scorpions will now represent Ontario at the Under -14 National Cham- �onships to be played in ttawa over the Thanksgivuim weekend. The -Uni ed under -12 Comets almost pulled off a surprise result in their final against local rivals, West Rouge. The Comets gave their opponents more than they could handle in the first half on the strength of a goal from forward Nancy Romas in the 23rd minute. West Rouge had the greater share of the play after the restart but had to wait until 12 minutes before the final whistle until scor- in the equalizing goal. An outstanding display from centreback Christine Stoilevski stifled the at- tacks by West Rouge, but the pressure eventually broke the tie as the Rouge scored two markers to take the under -12 title. In what has become an annual occurrance, the Scarborough United Iiynamos were in the On- tario Cup Finals once more. This year they were making their second ap- pear. . in the Women s Division, having won the ti- tle in 1988. The Dynamos took an early lead in the final against league rivals Oakville when a defensive mix-up allowed forward Vicki Sunohara to score. Oakville now came more into the game and the pressure paid 4f when ex - Scarborough United player Michelle Houchin levelled the score. They continued their con- trol of the game in the se- cond half, limitinngg the United players to of long range shooting 1 welve minutes into the second half Oakville took the lead, and slim though it was, held on to the final whistle. The Buccaneers were also Ontario champions in 1968, in the under -16 divi- sion. As seventeen year- olds they were making their first appearance in an under -18 frial. Penalty kicks made up much of the scoring in the game, beginning with the Buccaneers firstgoal in the sixth minute, with Tammy Ziskos giving her team the lead. Five minutes later op- nents Oakville levelled po the score from the penalty spot. Twenty minutes later Mary Pipilas restored the lead for the Scarborough team as she took the ball past the Oakville goalkeeper and scored from an acute angle. Solid play, from cen- treback Michelle Carter, suuppppoorted by some superb goaltending by Sue-Moy Chinn kept the Bucks lead in tact, but with less than five minutes of regulation PAINTING & RENOVATING WE SPECIALIZE IN: • PAINTING INTERIOR b EXTERIOR • ROOFING (ALL TYPES) • WALLPAPERING • MASONARY • COMPLETE DRYWALLING • TUCKPOINTING 6 SILICONE • ALUMINUM SIDING • BRICK CLEANING • EAVESTROUGH • DECKS OVER 15 YEARS EXPERIENCE — ALL WORK FULLY GUARANTEED FOR A FREE ESTIMATE CALL 6903357 Kollco Contracting • Specializing in Presidential framing • Large crew available 297-4027 • Custom Built Homes & Renovations • All aspects of home Improvements • Fully licenced • Quality workmanship J.E.

Oakville seemed inspired by their late equalizer and took the game to the Scar- borough giris. Halfway through the overtime period they scored what became the winning oal.

For The 5th Year At Cypress Gardens Cypress Gardens' Fifth Annual Chrysanthemum Festival features more col- our and landscape design than ever before. Scheduled for Nov. 11-30, this year's festival will feature over 15,000 pots of mums, with over two million blooms at the six - acre site. Eight of the Daisy varieties of chrysan- themums will be grown for the festival. These varieties include: "Shinotome", a pink selec- tion; `'Rainbow", an orange variety that was a surprisingly colourful favourite at last year's festival; "Yellow Rainbow", a "sport„ of the orange variety; "Fire Chief ', which produces deep crimson blooms, and "Jean Hart", a long-lasting light -yellow selection. The anemone variety is "Solan", which produces a deep purple flower; the decorative variety is "Shimizu", a prolific white selection, and "Sunny Day a yellow selection. Gary Smith, Cypress Gardens Nursery Manager puns to have on display 48 five -foot -high columns, 42 hanging baskets and ball forms, 30 poodle baskets, 620 cascade pots, 6-8 specialty forms and a large floral arch at the entrance to the festival. Mums belong to the plant family known as com- pasitae, which includes their near -cousins. asters. Gerberas. dahlias and zin- nias. In these plants, each of what we think of as the petals is actually a whole flower, complete with stamen, pistil and seed. The Gardens' hor- ticulturists estimate that the cascading punts grown in seven -gallon pots pro- duce more than 1,000 blooms, which means they really produce a thousand times that number of 'flowers' The first week of November, guests may see landscaping crews placing the mums at the Mediterra- nean waterfall area, a scenic lakeside location ideally suited for a floral festival. The two-week pro- cess of placing the plants in the ground is planned so that they burst into bloom just in time for opening day. Mums trailing more than five feet in length will drape the ledges of the 40-foot4ugh waterfall, nes- tle in the stream beds, and cascade over the walls of an Italian -style fountain. Huge freeform beds of potted mums covering most of the lawn area will afford sweeping vistas of colour, while topiaries, baskets and columns of blooms provide visual ac- cents for the eye.

Report from Ottawa from Rend Soetens MP Ontario Riding I receive numerous calls each time the government an- nounces a program to assist a region of Canada that is hav- ing economic problems. It appears from those calls that some question the purpose and method of distributing this assistance. A central duty for federal governments in Canada is to ensure all regions of the country prosper as equally as possible. But this task is made difficult because we are a nation of many disparate regions that must be ad- ministered with the same general set of rules. Unfortunately, history shows that economic disparity has persisted despite the best efforts of a series of federal governments. This disparity has been most evident bet- ween Central Canada -southern Ontario, in particular -and the Maritimes, parts of Quebec, parts of the Prairies, nor- thern Canada and the resource -dependent communities of British Columbia. It is easy to see where one of Canada's economic fault lines lies; where manufacturing dominates, the economy tends to be flexible and, hence, stable. But where regional economies depend on resource extraction and or crude refining, we find vulnerability caused by the foibles of the Queen's Park Report from Norah Stoner MPP Durham West HEALTH CARE IN ONTARIO Through a variety of strategies, the Government of On- tario is working to ensure we have the best possible health care into the 21st century by placing the emphasis on healthy lifestyles and disease prevention. To promote healthy lifestyle choices the Ministry of Health will spend $5.7 million over the next five years on community heart health programs. These programs will help reduce the incidence of cardiovascular disease, one of the leading causes of death and disability among Ontario residents. In addition, a 5750,000 Health Promotions Grant will fund 18 new community projects for better health over the next two years. The program supports everything from teen centres to senior's health fairs. QUALITY CARE CLOSE TO HOME The Independent Health Facilities Act will allow for the licensing of facilities providing some services which have traditionally been available in hospitals. There will be a wider variety of procedures that will now be safely provid- ed for within the community. The funding for Ontario's 27 Community Health Centres has been increased to 525.4 million and the Ministry has allocated $8 million to lay the foundations for Comprehen- sive Health Organizations which would combine health care providers under a single management network, m - eluding the services of general practitioners, specialists, hospitals and ambulatory Programs. ENSURING ACCESSIBILITY TO HEALTH CARE The Ministry of Health will give $3.4 million to the Ajax and Pickering General Hospital to fund 30 psychiatric beds. The new beds are part of a comprehensive mental health redevelopment pian that includes rebuilding Whitby Psychiatric Hospital. expansion of psychiatric units in the area's general hospitals and new or expanded community- based mental health programs for outpatients. Close to two million people from eastern Toronto to Haliburton will be served by the new mental health network. $18 million has been allocated to improve access to emergency and trauma services of which $9 million will be used to supplement ambulance services in 26 communities in response to population increases. The above health care initiatives are an extension of the Premier's Council on Health Strategy Goals which include: 1. Shifting the emphasis to health promotion and disease prevention - 2 Fostering strong and supportive families and com- munities. 3. Ensuring a safe, high quality physical environment. 4. Increasing the number of years of good health for the cities of Ontario by reducing illness, disability and premature death. 5. Providing accessible, affordable, appropriate beelth ser- vices for all LOCAL UPDATE: The Ajax -Pickering United Way will launch its X960,000 fund raising effort on Sept. 15th. This very worthy organiza- tion raises funds to support the work of 24 member agen- cies. I wish the United Way success in their efforts and en- courage everyone to get involved and support them. It is estimated that one in three, living in Ajax -Pickering will be directly affected by a member United Way agency or special project this year. international market and the resulting boom -bust cycles. Western Canada is a prime example of the highs and lows a resource economy can experience. In the early and mid '80s, high interest rates and low world commodity prices sent the oil and grain sectors into a tailspin. These developments were caused primarily by international events. and contrasted sharply with the relatively good years preceding. At the same time, however, the economy of southern Ontario and Quebec remained healthy -even vigorous. Mulroney government has done a great deal to iron out regional differences. Still, important practical and philosophical questions need to be answered. The question of bailouts, or high levels of government support, is central. It is true that some business sectors con- tinue to attract government support and, in the event of failure, bailouts, even though these business ventures can- not hope to become competitive. We need to take a look at the government's role in such situations, and rationalize our spending accordingly. Of greater overall significance is the matter of an in- dustrial strategy. Given that certain regional economics stand or fall accor- ding to world market conditions, while others remain relatively stable, should the federal government implement some sort of design for the economy in order to facilitate regional economic equality? And if the government, in its wisdom, thinks such a scheme is feasible, how would this stand up to the division of powers under the Constitution Act, 1867, and the current trend toward greater regional political autonomy? These questions are not new; the problems that we en- counter today are just the growing pains of an evolving na- tion. But in a few short generations we have done a great deal to bring the country together; and the ingenuity that has brought us this far will help us solve the difficulties that face us today. I received numerous calls about the Goods and Services Tax while I was on holidays. I have tried to return your calls as quickly as possible.
