Boards To Request Survey The board will request that the Ontario Public School Trustees' Associa- tion develop a survey on the collection of education levies. Member boards will be approached regarding changes in legislation that would permit taxes to be retrutted to them sooner than is current practice and the possibility that they could collect educa- tion taxes themselves. They will suggest that municipalities be informed that they have a net gain on CALL 754-4500 the collection of education taxes. School boards will also be asked to determine their losses because of the current difference between the date the taxes are col- lected and the date they are forwarded to school boards. Durham Board To Support OPSBA's Policv Statement On Religious Education Trustees voted to support OPSBA's policy statement regarding religious educa- tion in schools. The policy states that an optional pro- gram about the world's religions may be offered in the province's schools. The curriculum would be developed by the Ministry of Education.

In a press conference in Toronto, Henry Stolp called his group's proposal to build 39.000 homes on the Seaton Lands over the next 15 years a "win -win-win" situation for all involved He urged the provincial government to ratite in an alliance which would ultimately house 90,000 people on the undeveloped. 8,000 acre site. ,..!tris proposed agree- ment between industry and government combines the best of all worlds," said Stolp. "Ire government. which owns the Seaton Lands in North Pickering, will regulate development to ensure that public needs are met. The private sector will provide the know-how and efficiency required to create an integrated com- munity in a relatively short period of time." Strip said that SDC will include homes from $129,900. (159,900, $189,900 and up: "In fact, the number of 'affordable' housing units will exceed the government's recom- mended level of 'affordable housing' by 10 percent. He feels that the people of Pickering will find that this development sup- plements their community rather than strains it. Day care centres, parks and recreational facilities in the new community will be available to all residents of Pickering, he paints out and the industrial and com- mercial developments in the new community will enable people to work closer to where they live. The Region of Durham Will benefit from signifi- cant improvement to the regional transportation system, including the con- struction of new highways and roads, and an exten- sion of Go train service, "all of which we are offer- ing to fund," said Stolp. The provincial government will benefit by retaining control of the development, without having to spend any money, while receiving the lion's share of revenue, he added. For home buyers, the development would in- crease the supply of houses in the Metm Toronto area and thereby help to stabilize prices; for in- dustry, it will assure a stable flow of building lots. —This will enable us to continue building houses, and in so doing, ensure steady employment for workers in the province's single largest iodustry,,, Stolp said. Seaton Development Cor- poration (SDC) is a group of 12 of Ontario's most ex- perienced builders and developers. The SDC Group has already built more than 5oo,000 homes for families across Ontario.

Oct. 11, 1869 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Education Choices by Bob Watson The North York Board of Education has just submitted a brief to the Select Committee on Education in the Ontario Legislature on the subject of financing of elementary and secondary education. While applauding some of the new provincial initiatives, the board points out that they have been introduced with lit- tle or no consultation with local boards. The introduction of full day kindergaren, the board notes, will cost North York about $5.3 million, not including start-up funds of $2.8 million for renovations, portables and classroom setup. The board also points out that the provincial demand for reduction in class sizes in Grades 1 and 2 was never discuss- ed and it will cost $3.6 million to North York. Then there is pay equity - another $3 million to North York taxpayers as well as the new employer tax on payroll to replace OHIP premiums at $2.9 million more. The board estimates that altogether recent government legislation will cost North York $25 million which translates into $90 taxes on an average home, because Metro Toronto public education gets no more provincial grants - the load is on the property taxpayer, The North York brief points out that this year the educa- tion portion of property taxes went up 15.3 percent and the board knows that the residents will not accept another dou- ble digit tax increase. In conclusion, the board says it is in a quandary - does it carry out the provincial directives and hit the community with property taxes it is not prepared to pay or does it stick with the ratepayers and refuse to imple- ment provincial legislation. The school board has hit the nail on the head. The provin- cial government led by Premier Peterson better change its attitude about provincial grants to Metro school boards and stop making more and more demands on local school boards without giving financing or his status with voters in the next provincial election will be away down. The provincial government cannot expect property owners in Metro Toronto to pay for everything and at the same time contribute in income and corporation taxes to all the gest of the province. Sharpen up Queen's Park - start giving pro%incial money again to Metro's schools and lighters the load on the property owner. Will You Be There? Another demonstration'. But this one has a different twist. It will represent yott, people from all walks of life, from many areas of Ontario. Three citizens groups concerned about waste manage- ment. P.A.C.T. (Pickering -Ajax Citizens Together), P. O. W. E. R. (Protect Our Water and Environmental Resources from Halton) and Vaughan C.A.R.E.S. ( Com- mittee of Associations to Restore Environmental Safety), are heading a southern Ontario movement that will culminate in a demonstration at Queen's Park, at 11 a.m. on Sat. Oct. 14th. Under the threat that the GTA (Greater Toronto Area) will by-pass the Environmental Assessment Act and hand over landfill and waste management planning to private in- terests, these groups have put together a four point pro- clamation for Premier Peterson. 1► They see the GTA as undemocratic, unaccountable and unnecessary - 2) They insist that ownership of landfill sites and waste management planning are public responsibilities that must be carried out by people directly accountable to the public, 3) They feel the "crisis.. which has been allowed to build is being used to avoid full environmental assessment, necessary for any site. 4) They demand action on the 4r's Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and Recover. Thev claim, this would allow the time necessary for proper environmental assessment. It is felt that if the province is serious, the government would take initiatives to reduce the waste stream and provide markets for recycled goods. The coalition is bringing Councilman Pat T nnnizo from East Hampton. New York, who will describe how they have reduced their waste stream, commercial and residential by 84% The P.A.C.T. with P.O.W.E.R. - C.A.R.E.S. Coalition mount this campaign reluctantly, as can be seen by a sentence that appears in a letter from the coalition to en- vironmental groups. -How sad it is that we are forced to demonstrate to protect the environment." When a Canada -wide. CI'V, poll shows that 78% of Cana- dians list the enviornment as their No.1 concern, this type of demonstration will be just the beginning if governments only pay lip service to environmental issues. ne1"10 _S# Published every Wednesday by Watson Publishing Company Limited, Est. 1950 Postal Address: Box 111, Agincourt, Ont.

A Poetic Salute To The Festival Of Festivals Moving Pictures by Anav Latter Greta Garbo starred in the film "Wild Orchids" in 1929. That year an era came to an end, the stockmarket crashed, Confusion reigned world wide. the depression started, I was bom. The unsettled Thirties then began, people looked for entertainment, fun. Cinemas opened up everywhere, an enthusiastic audience was there. Eager to be amused, stimulated, educated, encouraged and enchanted. The Moving Pictures became the mirror of this Century: Action suspense. music. song, drama, comedy, fashion and love. These are just some of the facets films are made of. The technical wonder of it all, is again another story to recall. The era of the silver screen: Charles Chaplin's "Gold Rush" 1925, "Metropolis", "Camille" "Napoleon" with Abel Gance 1927. "Toe Walzkirw "Burgtheater" brought romantic Vienna to the screen. Johanna Spyri's "Heidi" a childs unforgetable dream. The magic still lives on, as we recall Some of the best loved Moving Pictures of them all: Margaret Mitchell's "Gone With The Wind" 19m, "Bell Ami". Casablanca. "Bells Of St. Mary' "Maytime" William Shakespeare's "Hamlet" and ,Romeo and Juliet". Alongside with many great plays, came in many versions our way. The great operas made it onto the silver screen: ..Aida, "La Boheme" „Madame Butterfly", "Carmen", 'Porgyand Bess". A tragedy is a portrait of hope turned to despair. In spite of agony, hope is always there. Mario Lanza in "'12ie Great Caruso" must have been One of the most stimulating films I have ever seen.

Portraits of history: "Tine Ten Commandments", "Cleopatra" with Elizabeth Taylor, Seaton Development To Put Pressure On Roads by Gay Abbate Scarborough en- vironmentalists say the development of Seaton community in North Pickering will increase pressure to build the East Metro Transportation Cor- ridor across the Rouge River. Jim Robb of Save the Rouge Valley says the con- struction of the highway known as the EMTC would devastate the environmen- tally sensitive Rouge. "If Seaton proceeds there will be definite pressure for the early completion of the EMTC," said Robb. Last week, a consortium of twelve developers an- nounced plans to build the satellite Seaton City in con- junction with the province. Henry Stolp, chairman of the Seaton Development Corporation, said the group wants to build 39,000 homes on the 3,240 hectare Seaton lands over the next 15 years. This would provide housing for some 90.000 people. Seaton was a concept of the provincial government in the 1960's and 1970's for which it expropriated lands. It was planned along with the Pickering airport but neither project was proceeded with. Stolp's group says it will pay for all the new roads. highways and extension of GO service. The City of Scarborough Last year moved to delete the EMTC from its official plan but the province has refused so far to scrap the project. It has said the highway is needed to ser- vice the Seaton communi- ty. The expressway would run from Hwy. 401 near Conlin Rd. north to hook up with Hwy. 407 in Markham. Robb says that the roadway would cross the Morningside Tributary at a point 100 metres wide, run for about one kilometre along the rim of the valley where the Carolinian forest is located, requiring the cutting of trees, and then cross the Rouge River where it is about 270 metres wide. Robb contends the EMTC is not needed. Existing arterial roads if upgraded and expanded GO service would provide three times the north i south transit capacity of the EMTC, he said. Scarborough planners have suggested the same thing. They say the ex- pressway should be relocated out in Pickering near Regional Rd. 23 where it would service more peo- ple. The Seaton group says the province must approve their pian within four mon- ths or it will be scrapped. The twelve companies in- volved in the project are John Boddy Developments Ltd., Bramalea Ltd., Coscan Development Corp., Graywood Developments Ltd.. Great Gulf Homes, Markborough Properties Ltd., Menkes Developments, Metrus Management -Land Development, Monarch Construction, Penta Stolp Corporation, the Sorbara Group and Wimpey Homes.

Com- posting is a way for residents to reduce their waste and offers a solution to the garbage crisis. A householder who composts their food and yard waste, in addition to recycling newspapers, bottles and cans, can reduce their waste by more than half. To help householders learn how to compost, The Recycling Council of On- tario is launching a Home Composting Demonstra- tion Site. This is a hands-on opportunity for the com- munity to see different methods of composting, and the different bins that Victorian Printing Can you imagine printing a newspaper one sheet at a time? Or setting type characters individually? These were some of the methods used by 19th cen- tury printers - including famed printer and publisher William Lyon Mackenzie - Toronto's fust Mayor and leader of the 1837 Upper Canada Rebellion. On Sun. Oct. 15 the Toronto historical Board will present special lec- tures about Mackenzie's career at Mackenzie House, 82 Bond St., em- phasizing the printing techniques and equipment which were available to him. Mackenzie's most famous paper, "The Col- onial Advocate", helped fire the 1837 Rebellion by criticizing the government. The lecture will discuss 'The Colonial Advocate" as well as the many other newspapers. books and ar- ticles which he published or to which he contributed throughout his life.

Oct. 11, 1869 Bill Watt's Worlds AT THE OPERA: Though we much admire and have read all of the works of Robert Louis Stevenson, we are not over fond of what many consider to be his best. Treasure Island is much beloved but we always find ourself bored as we arrive at The Cruise of the Coracle. Do not ask us to explain why. we simply are. So it is with Rossini and 11 Barbiere di Siviglia. We largely enjoy the works of Rossini but 11 Barbiere, which is probably his most enjoyed opera, fails to stir us and damme, if we know why. It's no lighter than most comic operas, the f'. V* :R* music is fine and the characters believable if over drawn. Still, we can- not say in honesty that it is a work to which we look forward. With all of the foregoing then, discriminating readers will, as we do as well, accept our comments about the Canadian Opera Company production of 11 Barbiere at The O'Keefe cum grano salis rather than da mi bassia mille. It would be far too cruel and patently incorrect to say that we found it boring. It would regrettably be quite inaccurate to say we found it stimulating.

Raul Giminez seemed wimpish as Almaviva and Patricia Schuman hardly seemed to have the fire that drives men of action to great lengths for her kiss. Naturally however, it goes without saying that both sang well; that's a given with the C.O.C. So, too, did Theodore Baerg as Figaro but there was not in his performance that certain Sammy Glick quality that the role seems to demand. Jeffrey Wells came off reasonably well as Don Basilion but we think we now know the inspiration for the comic figure of Father Guido Sarducci on Saturday Night live. Friends, we had best stop at this point because we would not for the world dream of dissuading anyone from the enjoyment of what is probably a fine and worthwhile production. ONSTAGE: Forgive us if this seams to be another column where we do not appear to have enjoyed anything but. The Trial Of Judith K. is a current production of the Canadian Stage Company at The Stage Downstairs. 26 Berkeley St. Written by Sally Clark. it is based on the novel by Franz Kafka who was either a tortured soul or the 0 MIW* APPLEFEST October 14, 1989 11 a.m. - 4 p.m. apple cider pressing 1p pioneer demonstrations apple butter making 16 wagon rides candy apples & historic buildings 601 apple pie contest ap music & games and much more!

Trial is intend- ed as a comedy and the central character is now a woman, Judith K. There are, indeed, some funny lines but they are largely derivative and the play ends with Miss K. be- ing stabbed (in suitable deshabilld) by her execu- tioners for a crime of which she has never been made aware. Before that happens, however, the audience en- dures cretinous security of- ficers, a slimy psychopath, a judge who gets his jollies in bed with a hookerilawyer while wear- ing ladies' red nether garments including garter belt, the hooker!lawyer herself played with a Brooklyn accent while looking like a male in drag, a stupid secretary, a con- niving bitch employer, a slut of a sister, her idiotic children, a painter who paints in solids and a whole slew of surrealist creatures that add little to anything. Then. of course, there is the musical scare of John Roby. It's clever but migawrd is it lord! And, why Should a score be necessary? This is suppos- ed to be legitimate theatre, not a comedy with music. And yet, and yet, the whole thing might have been carried off except for the excessive direction of Richard Greenblatt. The play begins with a scream and the volume never lets up. At the end an audience can be excised for suffer- ing sensory overload. Still. we have this idea that Judith K. just might make it. It most certainly deserves success if only as a suitable reward for the fine cast, most members of which double and even tre- ble in parts. The title role is played by Canine Koslo. She is a short, spunky little thing and as much as the direc- tion allows her she essays the pilgrim's progress of an innocent against the System. She succeeds but somewhat in the manner of a Kaye Ballard rather than a comic Judith Anderson. Stephen Ouimette is bet- ter than the role deserves as the psycho and Terry Tweed as the hooker suc- ceeds in the difficult role of making her usual gorgeous self look sluttish. Phillip Akin, Allegra Fulton, Patricia Hamilton, and Jim Warren are all ex- cellent in what they have to do. We just wish they didn't have to do it. Judy Clark has, we believe, the germ of literary greatness in her but we suggest, with respect, that it doesn't lie with the more or less scholarly disembowelling of the works of such as ON THE WALL: The art exhibit now at The Brownstone features the works of Richard Owen and Csaba Szenteczky. The quality and intent of their works is beyond ques- tion; but not the impact of them as art. Mr. Owen is much given, in this display anyway, to what can best be described as a shifting softness of col- our and texture. That's fine if that is what one wants. Personally, we can achieve the same measure of enjoy- ment watching those sand Expedition Programs Arrives At Science Centre Alan Kesselheim and Marypat Zitzer had a grand dream .. and they made it come true! They set a goal of journeying across the wilderness of northern Canada by canoe. The results of their ex- citing quest for adventure is "A Year in the North - Across Canada by Canoe", a new 60 minute multi media Wilderness Odyssey production at the Ontario Science Centre on Sat. Oct. 14th at 2 p.m. Over the carie of the challenging 14 month trek, Alan and Marypat travers- ed a huge section of Cana- dian wilderness and wintered in a small, isolated log cabin in Saskatchewan. They met with many moments of danger, scenes of breath- taking beauty, stunning wildlife and exhilarating paintings that are present- ly so popular. We also find it restful watching fish in aquaria. Mr. Szenteczky's works are more powerful but no less abstract. Many of them look like Rorschach tests so it should come as no surprise that he works much in inks. We recommend your at- tendance for a most in- teresting coiaiterpoint of darkness and light. BIG THEATRE: With the current scene of blockbuster stage produc- tions, it's good to know that the theatre which brought them back and in so doing was directly responsible for the revival of downtown Toronto is still providing a wide variety of live enter- tainment. We mean, of cease, The O'Keefe. Consider the following lineup of attractions bet- ween now and the end of the year. Oct. 17th to the 21st it's the return of ace impres- sionist Andre Philippe Gagnon. He hasn't ac- cepted as yet our gracious invitation to teach him our impression of Wallace Beery but as the late Gilda Radner might have said, never mind; he will still be sensationally funny and ef- fective. On Oct. 25th The Famous People Players present their new attraction Beyond the Black Light. The T.O. Hot Shoe Show comes back on Oct. 27th and 28tH featuring such dancers as Karen Kain and Rex Harrington from the N.B.O. C. and a host of others including the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre with Mercedes Ell- ington. The National Ballet presents its Autumn Season from Nov. 1st through to the 19th. We'll be writing more about the National as its engagement nears but we can tell you now that one of the presen- tations will be the romantic Giselle. Harry Belafonte appears on Nov. 25th and 26th. This will be his 13th O'Keefe engagement and the first since 1962. Hal Holbrook reprises his now almost legendary Mark Twain Tonight on Nov. 27th. It seems incredi- whitewater travel. Their live presentation, using state-of-the-art pro- jection equipment and an evocative soundtrack, shows highlights of the cou- ple's experiences as they paddled 416 days over 2000 miles across Canada. A question and answer period Will follow. Alan Kesselheim has been an educator, writer and lecturer when not on expeditions. His writing has been featured in numerous national magazines. Marypat Zitzer is an artist, craftswoman and photographer. Her maps, illustrations and photos are featured in the book based on the expedition -"Water and Sky: Reflections of a Nor- thern Year" published by Stoddart Publishing. ble but Mr. Holbrook has been doing this show off and on for 35 consecutive years. The Royal Winnipeg Ballet celebrating its Golden Anniversary plays Nov. 30th through to Dec. 2nd to be followed by Fred Penner on Dec. 3rd. Andy Williams presents his Christmas show on Dec. 6th and 7th and then the English Panto Dick Whit- tington and His Cat will take over from Dec. 13th to 17th. It wouldn't be the Holi- day Season, of course, without the National's an- nual presentation of The Nutcracker and we sup- pose we'll be begged to dance in it again. Well, if the public demands it, what, after all, is one to do? On New Year's Eve the National will again present The Nutty Nutcracker with a host of celebrities and a gala party after. That's all in one theatre! The O'Keefe continues to be a major theatrical force in this city and long may it so continue. MOVIE NEWS: North York has scored another coup. Warner Brothers have moved from their long time head- quarters on Carlton St. along from Maple Leaf Gardens to 4576 Yonge St. just at Highway 401. Nice going Mel. Still with Warner Brothers, Dianne Schwalm, Director of Marketing announces that Susan Sharpe is rejoining W.B. after an extended sabbatical. Good to have you back Susan. ADDENDA: Just as we were putting this one to bed, we received word that Andre -Philippe Gagnon is going to do another four days in November, this time at Massey Hall. And, somehow we missed mentioning the one night appearance at The O'Keefe of Rita MacNeil. We expect it's already sold out but you can try for tickets anyway.

A reception will follow in the church hall at which time presentation will be made of a special com- memorative scroll from Rome and a sculpture of mother and child created by past board chairman, Paul McAuliffe. To mark this milestone of the Misericordia Sisters, a history book has been published which details the amazing change in the 75 years since the sisters ar- rived in Toronto at the re- quest of Archbishop Neil McNeil in 1914. Their first purchases were "2 brushes and six cakes of soap" from the corner grocer to "give a good scrubbing", to the building which would house St. Mary's Infants Home in do%%mtown Toronto. There they began their work of giving prenatal and postnatal care and compas- sion to unmarried girls and their infants. The sisters moved to Scarborough in 1956 where they built Scarborough General Hospital and Rosalie Hall next door to it. A recently completed ex- pansion and renovation of this original Rosalie Hall has transformed it into a complete community and residential support centre for single women during and after pregnancy.

Telecare Telecare South York Region (formerly Telecare Richmond Hill), which was founded in June 1962, is part of Telecare Teleministries of Canada, which in turn is part of a world-wide caring organization, Lifeline In- ternational, founded in 1962 in Australia. The original concept behind Lifeline was to pro- vide caring for those who were in distress, and whose only means of contact was the telephone. Telecare has provided just such a service for its community, as well as for others. It has two distress lines, one serves the Rich- mond Hill area. the other is a toll-free long-distance line through which it can assist those in distress out- side its immediate com- munity. Lines are open seven days a week, 24 hours a day. and are solely staffed by volunteers. Unfortunately, many volunteers have left recent- ly for various reasons and the organization fords itself at this point extremely short staffed. If it is to coo- time to provide the caring that has become its trademark, it must replenish its staff of volunteers. In order to do this Telecare is launching a vigorous recruiting cam- paign to alert the comunity to its need. The organization offers its volunteers several benefits. The first is a com- prehensive training pro- gram that runs for 12 weeks starting Sept. 28. It offers expert speakers on such subjects as suicide. alcoholism and drug abuse, family abuse, sexuality, loneliness, and depression. Trainees will learn useful skills such as active listen- ing and crisis intervention. They will also benefit from the knowledge that they have helped others less for- tunate than themselves, and that they belong to a world class organization. Volunteers are accepted from every walk of life, of any faith, race or nationali- ty, and of all ages above is. Interested persons with any further questions should call the Information Line. 7314259.

Climb For Hope Rett Syndrome's "Climb For Hope.. team has suc- cessfully placed Canadian climber Mike Kurth of Hui - ton, Alberta at the top of Mount Communism, the highest mountain in Europe Russia which stands 24,590 feet. The team battled some of the worst weather condi- tions experienced in 15 years, and met with snowfalls in excess of 12 in- ches per night and winds up to SO mph as they inched their way. The "Climb For Hope" team was training for its 1981 ascent of Mount Everest on behalf of Rett Syndrome girls. More than 500 climbers from 22 nations attempted various routes to the top. Only one Canadian amongst nine other climbers was successful. While in Russia, the ex- pedition team met with Ambassador Vernon G. Turner. the Canadian Am- bassador to the USSR, who conveyed Mrs. Raisa Gor- bachev's warmest wishes to both the endeavours of the Canadian Rett Syn- drome Association and the Everest '91 Expedition members themselves. Rett Syndrome is a neurological disorder which occurs only in girls. It is estimated that Rett Syndrome could be the single most common cause of mental retardation in girls, and that its prevalence amongst females may actually be as high as 25%. Although the girls appear to be healthy at birth, a rapid regression and deterioration of purposeful speech and voluntary motor function occurs bet- ween the period of approx- imately nine and eighteen months.

Oct. 11, 1989 [ trav I Course At Grand Cypress Designed By Jack Nicklaus With a design that allows golfers to experience the characteristics of a Scot- tish course, the new course at Grand Cyrpess Resort brings a new dimension of play to guests at the 1,500 acre resort. The new course, like the resort's existing 27 holes, is also designed by Jack Nicklaus. The original 18 holes (north and south nines). referred to as "The Grand Cypress", were recently voted into the "Golf Digest" Top 100 Golf Courses in the United States. Paying tribute to the great courses of Scotland. various features have been recreated by Nicklaus in such a way as to conjure vi- sions of the Old Course at St. Andrews. Similarities include double greens, bridges, walls, pot bunkers, long grass and burns. In describing his most re- cent design, ]Nicklaus ex- plains. "At Grand Cypress Resort we're trying to pro- vide the best golf ex- perience possible." " lbat's why when Her- man Vonhof. T President of Grand Cypress Resort. Inc.) asked me to build another 18 holes, I designed a course inspired by the Old Course at St. Andrews, which I feel is one of the most interesting courses in the world," be added. "We're calling it the "New Course" at Grand Cypress, and I've incor- porated many of the features you would find at St. Andrews, considered by many to be the birthplace Of golf. -- The The course differs from the existing Ti holes at Grand Cypress with steeper and more challeng- ing bunkers and slopes. The greens are much larger in square footage with this new 18 represen- ting more area than all of the existing 27 combined. All greens are double greens with the exception of the `o.9 and No. is and No.8 and No. 10. The New Course incor- porates many characteristics of the great Scottish courses. The burn which fronts the green on hole No.1 is similar to Swilcan Burn and the stone bridge is reminiscent of the bridge at St. Andrews. On hole No.5 the bunker- ing on the right side of the fairway is similar to the "Principal's Nose" and "Deacon Sime" at St. An- drew. The course also has some 140 bunkers (hole No.9 has 21 bunkers) rang- ing from small pot bunkers to gaping bunkers which have steps for access. The bunkering in the lan- ding area on hole No. 15 is similar to the "Beardies" at St. Andrews. In addition, the second shot must be played around a bunker similar to "Hell Bunker". Hole No.17 has many features of the famous "Road Hole" at St. An- drews. Large mounds on the right side of the fairway are placed there to give the illusion of the sheds or hotel at St. Andrews that golfers must drive over to hit the tee shot into the fairway. The golfer's second shot is to a double green with a road located behind the green similar to No. 17 at the Old Course. Golfers will have the feel- ing of playing in an open meadow on the New Course. Very little water comes into play and few trees are located within the interior of the course thus allowing for ample room to drive the golf ball. Golfers will be faced with the options of playing with Scottish run-up shots or high, soft shots depending upon wind conditions and pin placement. Grand Cypress Resort is owned and managed by the Dutch Institutional Holding Company I DIHC I , based in Atlanta. DIHC is the U.S. based real estate entity of Pensionfund PGGM, the largest private pension fund in Holland with managed assets of almost $16 billion. DIHC has com- mitted $1.3 billion to real estate projects in the United States.

Accor- ding to Macdonald this coaster will exemplify the perfect balance between new technology and old fashioned thrills. Dinh Corporation, along with designer Curtin Sum- mer. have earned an inter- national reputation for their expertise in construc- ting wooden coasters. In 1988, they constructed a coaster for Dane's sister park, Geauga Lake in Aurora, Ohio. The new coaster will make its home at the Park's north end, overlook- ing Darien Lake Beach. Of- ficials expect to name the attraction after the fust of the year. By 1991, Darien Lake will have invested $11.2 million in capital improvements as part of an initial five year expansion program. The new coaster represents phase four in this five year program. Previous expan- sions include: 1987 - Daily live entertainment, 1968 - Two acre Adventureland For Kids and expanded camping facilities, and 1989- A white water rapids ride, Grizzly Run. Darien Lake Theme Park and Camping Resort offers over 100 rides, shows and attractions, as well as a 2,000 site campground. According to Amusement Business Magazine, Darien Lake is the largest amuse- ment attraction in the state, based on 1968 atten- dance figures.

The Showcase, which takes place Nov. 6 and 7 at the Prince Hotel, will in- clude four seminars and presentations by keynote speakers. Labour shortages is the subject of the first panel led by Phil Wolfenden of Wolfenden and Associates. Wolfenden agrees with other experts that all signs indicate that the 90's will be a decade in which employers find it increas- ingly difficult to fird and keep good employees and he and his panel will outline practical solutions to this problem. This will be an excellent opportunity for company's that are not big enough to have their own on -staff human relations experts to find out how other businesses are dealing with this issue and what advice the professionals can offer. Of particular interest to entrepreneurs and those in- dividuals in companies wishing to diversify, will be the seminar on new market trends. Led by Peter Silverman of CITY TV, this panel will focus on identify- ing changing consumer trends and priorities with an emphasis on developing new products and services to meet those needs. The integrated marketing seminar, led by Fay Olson, executive vice president of The Houston Group, will provide another opportunity for in- dividuals to receive prac- tical advice and informa- tion from industry experts who are often not easily ac- cessible to individuals from small and mid-sized com- panies. Public relations, traditional advertising, direct mail and sales pro- motion are key areas that w=ill be addressed by this group.

Don Mills Company Gets Contract Per Construction Ltd. of Don Mills has been award- ed a $2-3 million contract to build a new kitchen and dining areas at the Mimico Correctional Centre, Government Services Minister Chris Ward and Correctional Services Minister Richard Patten have announced. These facilities will be housed in a one -storey building with an inmate dining area seating 320 and a separate dining area for 60 staff.

Voices Needed For New Chorus It is that time of year again when everyone is looking for a new hobby. A group of women who meet weekly say that singing is one of the most exciting hobbies around. The Don Valley Chorus of Sweet Adelines is the most recently formed of several choruses in the Toronto region. "We are a small chorus," says Betty Gibson, membership chairman, "looking for women who want to grow with us. The ability to read music, while definitely an asset, is not a requirement." Sweet Adelines is an in- ternational organization of av$�(y 80,000 • Women Wed. Oct. 11, 1989 THE NEWS/POST Page 11 New Church Facilities For Don Heights Don Heights Unitarian Congregation is celebrating the completion of its new church facilities at a service to be held Oct. 15th at 7:30 p.m. The facilities are part of a $7 million development on their land at 4 Antrim Cres- cent, Scarborough. Groundbreaking began the summer of 1968, the end of a long process starting in 1983 when members faced ever increasing expenses as their 25 -year old building aged. An ad hoc committee began looking for alternatives to the recurring "fix -up, paint - up, pay -up" cycles. When the first building was built, Don Heights' neighbours were grazing fields and farmlands. Now situated near rapid transit stations and surrounded by highrises, Don Heights' .4 hectares (about an acre of land was easily its most valuable asset. Affordable housing was clearly a social issue. The land was seen as the key to addressing the housing situation and providing day care facilities while at the same time solving Don Heights' needs. The possibilities of plac- ing a multiple use building on the land were good enough to persuade both the Co-op Housing Federa- tion of Toronto and the ar- chitectural firm Garwood - Jones & Van Nostrand to work with the church "on spec.' i.e. without payment until funding could be found. The congregation would lease their air rights to a coop and the co-op would get their mortgage to build their building and pay for the air rights from the Canadian Housing and Mortgage Corporation's programs. Members of the con- gregation formed and in- corporated the Bill White Housing Cooperative. Naming the co-op after the late Bill White, a renowned Unitarian, was appropriate because of his contribution to Don Heights and the community. In his lifetime be was awarded many honours including the Order of Canada in 19179 and Scarborough's Citizen of the Year in 1976. The congregation chose co-operative housing because co-ops give their residents control over their housing "through democratic process", a key Unitarian principle, too. dedicated to the teaching and singing of four-part harmony barbershop style. Membership is open to all women over the age of 18. For more information call Mary at 625-0913 Because there is no profit involved, the co-op can con- trol the rents and 19 of the apartments can be sub- sidized by the Ontario government. The building will have eight apartments on each floor, including one and two bedroom units, some with solariums and some with balconies. One unit on each floor is equipped for wheechair use and provi- sions for emergency warn- ing lights for the deaf have been provided throughout. Don Heights will have 7500 square feet of the ten story building. Projecting partially out the front of the building, the new round Don Heights auditorium makes a distinctive ar- chitectural presence both inside and out. The Sunday School area was designed to house day care for 32 children. Other church facilities include a "coffee room" /lobby area, office space, board room, multi -use room and much storage. All Don Heights' areas are wheelchair ac- cessible. Unitarianism is an ap- proach to living for people who want a straightfor- ward, practical, ethical religion. Believing that each person is both free and responsible to search for his or her own 'truth', Don Heights endeavors to provide an environment that encourages creative interchange. Joan Plumpton, chair of the redevelopment com- mittee and now president of the congregation, says "we hope that Don Heights is merely one of the first of the churches to make social use of its lands. Like us, others could do well by doing good.". Our 40th. Year of service to the community.

The Canadian Magazine Publishers Association, the Canadian Softdrink Association, Associa- tion of Universities and Colleges of Canada, McDonald's Restaurants of Canada Ltd. and the Canadian Paraplegic Association are just a handful of the groups which we have met with this week. These committee meetings will weigh heavily on my in- put in the final draft of recommendations and amendments, to be put forth by the F inance Committee in November. However, it is the feelings and beliefs of the residents of On- tario Riding that will ultimately play the greatest role of all in the recommendation and amendment stage. For this reason, I welcome hearing your input on the GST. Canada's Parliament Buildings are rich in history and tradition. Each year, hundreds of thousands of visitors from across Canada and around the world walk through the corridors of Parliament. Escorting them on their visit and bringing to life the history of the buildings and our parliamentary traditions are the guides of the Parliamen- tary Guide Service. Since 1981, the Parliamentary Guide Service has provided full-time employment to University students from the first week of May to Labour Day and part-time employment from Labour Day to mid-May. New guides begin with a two-week training program designed to familiarize them with House of Commons and the Senate. A series of briefings and lectures are provided by Members of Parliament, Senators and Officers of both Houses. Uniforms are provided free of charge by the House of Commons as are transportation costs to Ottawa at the beginning of the employment and back at the termination of their term of employment. candidates must be Canadian citizens attending University full time, capable of convers- ing in both official languages. If you are interested in becoming a Parliamentary Guide. please contact any Canada Employment Centre or my constituency office for an information booklet and application form.

Just looking around the com- munities of Ontario Riding, it is simple to see the good that the United Way provides.
