The current law exempts parents, guardians and teachers, whereas the reform would not include teachers on the list of those protected from liability. It was felt that teachers must not feel hampered in touching children for the puaoose of nurturing and showing care for the youngsters. Architects Appointed Lennis Trotter was ap- pointed by the board as ar- chitect for the General Pur- pose Room addition at Dr. Robert Thornton PS. The work will be done during the 1990 summer month. Millet Salter was ap- pointed to design a pro- totype school for the un- named Attersley t Oshawa I and Uxbridge elementary schools. The current designs do not meet the need for Jr. Kindergarten and daycare facilities which will be required. Allen and Sherriff were appointed to design the un- named Hermitage Com- munity School to be built in Ajax. Board To Use Prequalifica- tion Procedures The Canadian General Contractors' Association procedure for the pre - qualification of bidders to tender on the construction of the unnamed Graywood and Pickering Beach elementary schools will be used by the Board in an at- tempt to avoid the situation that developed this sum- mer over the Ministry's refusal to approve con- struction of a school by other than the lowest bid- der. The Board felt the low bidder would have difficul- ty completing the contract to its satisfaction in this case.

More News On Back Page Page 2 THE NEWS; POST Wed. Oct. 18, 1989 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Goods & Sendc:es Tax To Hit Electricity Users Taxing electricity will cost Ontario's electricity con- sumers an additional two-thirds of a billion dollars a year, says the Municipal Electric Association (M.E.A-), a group representing Ontario's 316 municipal electric utilities. The group has asked the federal government to exclude elec- tricity from the proposed Goods and Services Tax (GST). In a brief submitted to the Standing Committee on Finance and Economic Affairs, M.E.A. Chairman Carl Anderson urged government to recognize that few goods and services will carry as heavy a tax burden as electricity. Even with the introduction of the GST, the elimination of existing taxes for such goods and services as automobiles, furniture and telecommunications will result in a net tax cut of almost one per cent. But electricity will experience a net increase in taxation of approximately 8 per cent. The difference in tax burden between these commodities could be as much as 9 per cent, with the electricity industry being one of the most severely affected by the GST. Electricity has been exempted from federal taxation since the introduction of the manufacturer's sales tax in the early part of this century. Taxing it could affect the pro - vine's current high standard of living. "By continuing to provide for exemption, it seems clear that every federal government for the past 65 years has recognized the importance of electricity in the everyday lives of Canadians, as well as in the industrial section. and has seen fit to maintain a negligible level of taxation," said Mr. Anderson. Mr. Anderson further warned that taxation at the federal level could set the stage for taxation by the provinces. "The M.E.A. is also concerned that the provinces will take the federal government position of taxing electricity as a precedent—a dangerous one, in the M.E.A.'s view," noted the Chairman. In his submissions. Chairman Anderson urged govern- ment to follow the lead of other cou ntnes that have produc- ed special relief for electricity. Ireland zero -rates electrici- ty with no strings attached. Other countries, such as the United Kingdom. Norway and Sweden recognize that elec- tricity is a special supply and afford it special treatment. Canada should follow suit. said Chairman Anderson. For over 75 years, the !Municipal Electric Association and its hydro utility members have championed the public Power cause to ensure Ontario's electricity consumers receive reliable, low cost electricity. M.E.A. members pro- vide electricity to over 70 per cent of Ontario's electricity consumers.

Congratulations Mr. Mateer. A letter of confirmation will be going to our winner. why The Secrecy? Dear Editor: 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 Services Act was - - passed on November 18, 1996 with 70 to 125 members absent! WHY? passed in French in the Legislature. recorded in French in the Hansard Report (the public record) - for the 95% English-speaking residents of On- tario? WHY THE SECRECY? - miniscule media coverage. If this Bill is such fair and equitable legislation, why were the details not made public? At least 93% 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 Leeds -Grenville, "there was no mean- ngful debate, no reference to a Standing Committee to take a look at what the implications of the legislation meant to t intario and no recorded vote". "I think there has been too much effort and attempt by this Government to cover up this issue, to have meaningful 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 m 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. Our future is at stake! Con- tact Box 22109, Barrie, Ontario LAM 5R3. Yours truly. Ruth Wood Barrie. Ont.

Want City Manager by Gay Abbate Scarborough Council has decided to hire a chief ad- ministrative officer to oversee the city's operation but it does not plan to give the person that title. Instead, the CAO will be called City Manager, a title used more in the United States. In Canada, chief ad- ministrative officer is more common. However, the city of Mississauga has a city manager. A consultant hired by the city to advise on whether Scarborough needs a chief of bureaucrats recom- mended that the title be chief administrative of- ficer. Council voted 13-1 to have a city manager in- stead. The lone dissenter was Councillor Ron Wat- son. Under the Municipal Act, Wed.

We thought of it muchly while watching Sky Gilbert's play The Whore's Revenge presented by Bud- dies in Bad Times Theatre at Tarragon Extra Space. Director Edward Roy's notes in the program state that The Whore's Revenge is a combination of Melodrama and Grand Guignol. That might be so but it seems to us that in trying to be a bit of both, it ends up being neither. Simply stated W.'s R. is the story in flashback of Desiree LaChance's des- cent into whoredom after having been driven from her postion as house maid in his home by the dour Dr. Dambridge who has discovered her in an in - completed coupling with a swollen membered chimney sweep. We give away nothing when we recount that Dr. Dambridge turns out to be not only Jack the Ripper but also, in a stupendous anachronism. her brother from whom she had been surgically separated at birth: thus explaining his abhorrence of the sexual act and her enlarged clitoris. Hoo boy! Yet. there is, and quite apart from the talent of the player's, much of merit in the play. Mr. Gilbert's pro- se has a fine, properly Vic- torian ring to it and his observations on and of human frailty have the ring of authenticity adulterated only mildly by the fact that they are second hand. An interesting example of familiarity not necessarily breeding contempt, cer- tainty not boredom. As a production W.'s R. has much to recommend it including reasonable ap- proximations of Victorian clothing and a fine musical score by Phyllis Cohen thought we still rail at the use of music on the legitimate stage. Mr. Roy directs well and holds his cast well in check, not allowing the excesses all too frequently ex- perienced in alternative theatre. The cast itself is an excellent one. Kate Sykes is Desiree LaChance. She is stunning- ly beautiful whether as the fresh faced, newly arrived and reasonably innocent from Newcastle or a diseased harridan of the street. Her accent is consis- tent. we make the point because she is able to pro- ject fine emotional impact even hampered with such a dreadful accent. Sky Gilbert plays Dr. Dambridge in a manner, deliberate or otherwise, reminiscent of the late Laird Gregar. His voice is sonorous and menacing. his presence, suitably creepy. Excessive facial expressions are due simply KALLIrS 29J!

Debra Mrshenbaum is essence of a proper Vic- torian wife and Christopher Cumyn effectively presents a young gentleman at- tracted by the whore in a manner more than simply carnal. Mind you, the character has its own lanky side, too. Director Roy doubles in brass in the role of the chimney sweep and does well as does Susan Mc- Cleigh as a mysterious statue of purity who comes alive to .. well, you'd better see the play for yourself. For those who might be unaware, Tarragon Theatre is at 30 Bridman Ave. in the Dupont - Bathurst area and is easily accessible by public tran- sit. We recommend a visit to The Whore's Revenge. You'll experience a good production and be aware of a writer of whom we con- fidently expect to bear more. ON SCREEN: Among the many pleasures we miss in T.O. are good lounge pianists. Time was when virtually every club had one; Bassel's Club, Club One Two, The Pilot. The Silver Rail, The Sky Lounge and on and on. We enjoyed them and miss them. Now we content ourself with almost worn out LP.s of Jose MElis, Bill Butler. Frank Bogart et al. One realizes then why we looked forward to The Fabulous Baker Boys (20th Century Fox) about two brothers making a not un- comfortable living as Longe twin pianists. Well, we enjoyed it but not as much as might have been had the music been central rather than subordinate. Beau and Jeff Bridges - real life brothers and the sons of Loyd Bridges are the pianists. Beau is the elder, a now cherubic type who loves "show business"; Jeff, the younger who hates S.B. but loves the piano. After almost two decades of performing professional- ly, their bookings are becoming sparse. In the realization that something is needed to spark up the act, it's decided that a singer should be added. Enter then, Michelle Pfeiffer who can't sing worth a damn -It's her voice you hear on the sound track though it's not the playing of the B. boys -and the act seems to come to life. Michelle Pfeiffer, a bubble -headed, gum chew- ing slut, becomes a lady; the younger brother suc- cumbs to her attraction; the older brother nearly has his fingers broken in a brawl with him; the act is broken up; the elder becomes a teacher, the younger starts to play for his soul; the slut and the younger just might make out again. That's it, that's the plot, the time worn story of art versus industry; aspiration versus vindication. Is it a good movie? Not really. Is it a bad one? Not really. At best, it's an agreeable time waster; at worst, a waste of talent. Beau Bridges as the older Baker utilizes his now finely tuned reaction shots to perfection, Jeff is suitably saturnine and Miss Pfeiffer is a stunning figure as Suzie Diamond, the "Chantoosie". Here is the real waste. The young lady, who was aced out of a deserved Academy Award for her role in Dangerous Liaisons, is squandered in a part that could have and might have been phoned in. Yet, the picture is not without merit. Old crocks like yours truly will truly enjoy the playing of Dave Grusin and John Hammond on the dubbed sand track. Now join us please at our player piano as we pretend to be Bobby Short. STILL ON SCREEN: We had to miss the press screening but are told that When the Whales Came is a winner. It is scheduled to open this Friday. ON RECORD: We had the opportunity to attend the media preview of Veronique at Bertin recently and must say that it should make it. Veromque is Veromque Beliveau aid she sings a la mode with just a soupcon of accent for spice. This A. & M. album was produced by Richard Carpenter and he even joins Miss Beliveau on some of the trach. I'm Gonna Make You Love Me and Base of Love will probably receive the greatest amount of air play but our favourite Cut is Angel in My Eyes. The lady's singing is pleasurable of course but the real kick for us is the arrangement. fasten for the almost subliminal Good album. How about this title for the latest from the Aussie rockers Painters & Dockers? It's Kiss My Art. Oh my, that's clever! ON T.V. Those who subscribe to the Disney Channel, will lamps have seen Looking For Miracles which was shown this past summer. It's appearing this Sun- day at 7 p.m. on CBC -TV. and we recommend this coming of aIle story by A. E. Hotchner. It has to be better than Kiss My Art. TRIBUTE: To be honest, we always felt that the late Director John Hirsch was rather much given to excess in his direction. Whether or not that is so is not relevant. What is important is the major contribution he made to the latter day cause of theatre in Canada. This Sunday at 8:30 p.m. in the Bluma Appel Theatre a group of Mr. Hirsch's friends and col- leagues from across North America are gathering to present an evening of festive theatre presenting anecdotes and recollec- tions expressed in words, video and music. Space will not permit the inclusion of names of all the artists who will appear but you must believe us when we tell you that they are all well known and talented. Tickets are a modest $25, arguably one of the best dollar values of the season. BILLY D.

We confidently expect it to be a fine show and well nigh perfect holiday entertain- ment. Ballantine I Del Rey are now in the twelth printing of the Oz books and we have the first volume to hand. It's a handsome little soft cover that would make a perfect stocking staffer for young readers.

With the aid of a com- puter network, students work at instructional islands, moving on to new positions as units are com- pleted.

Students complete a pro- duct roduct using conventional machine tools and egtnp- ment. The program will be con- ducted under the guidance of teacher Les Tankard, winner of the prestigious Marshall McLuhan Distinguished Teacher Award, which honours teachers who have distinguished themselves by contributing to com- munication through the development and in- novative use of technology. Mr. Tankard has done a great deal of preliminary planning and investigation for ecproject. Technological Studies Coordinator Allan Mawson reported that several col- leges and universities have expressed support for and interest in this program, in. eluding the School of Engineering Technology at Centennial College, the Faculty of Education at the University of Toronto, and the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Waterloo.

Make sure you know where the nearest block parent is or where you can go in an emergency- - When crossing the' watch f - Walk. Don't run. - Bring a flashlight if you're Planning to spook on an unlit street. - Finally, bring all your goodies home. Don't eat anything until someone else has made sure it's okay to eat. For Everybody Nobody escapes Hallowe'en. If you're out in your car, watch for little goblins and witches that dart out from between parked cars. If you welcome a visit from the neighbourhood spooks, make sure that your house is well ht and free from hazards. A pumpkin in the window will beckon the spirits, but be careful not to place the candle too close to the cur- tains. And while the candle is burning. someone should keep an eye on the pucn- pkin.

It's a safe and fun alternative to all out trick or treating. Organize games and give out prizes for costumes. And be sure that everyone brings lots of candy. A neighbourhood monster bash is guaranteed to be a ghoul time. Your only worry as a parent will be the next trip to the dentist!

Brown Bagging It And ... Bragging About It Even worse than the ef- fort it takes to pack lunches every day, is the predic- table boredom of operung the same, dry, tasteless, cardboard sandwiches and the inevitable chocolate chip cookie. School kids and working women share a dislike for the monotony of lunch in a brown bag. Even young. male ex- ecutives have the same problem. Have you ever wondered what they carry in their briefcases on the subway'. Chances are, it's lunch. Business people who are watching .heir weight face a double dilemma: the alternative to a bag of uninteresting celery sticks is probably the local fast food, takout bar where French fries and other calorie -bulging items assault the senses. Weight Watchers has helped solve this problem for business people enroll- ed in one of the many At Work programs which are part of a company's wellnesslfitness program. Since most of the meetings are held during the lurch hour, participants must `eat on the run', so to speak. Weight Watchers has developed a number of interesting suggestions for totable lunches that are calorie reduced, good tasting and exciting. Lun- ches worth bragging about. Whether for school or work, be nutrition wise and calorie conscious, and steal a leaf from the authority in weight control. Try these tips from Weight Wat- chers: Sandwich combinations: Peanut Butter Rounds: 2 tablespoons peanut butter on 2 rice cakes topped with 1 2 medium banana, sliced and sprinkled with 1 teas- poon shredded coconut, toasted. Italian Tuna Sandwich: 2 ounces drained canned tuna with red onion slices, romaine lettuce leaves, tomato slices, and 1 teas- poon olive oil mixed with lemon juice and oregano leaves on 2 ounces Italian bread. Cold Steak Sandwich: 2 ounces sliced cooked steak with tomato slices, lettuce leaves, and 1 teaspoon prepared horseradish mix- ed with 1 teaspoon mayon- naise on 2 slices pumper- nickel bread. Pepper and Egg Salad Pita: One hard -cooked egg, chopped, mixed with diced red bell pepper and 2 teas poons reduced -calorie mayonnaise with lettuce leaves in 1 ounce pita. Crabmeat Salad Pita: 2 ounces thawed frozen crabmeat mixed with diced tomato and 2 teaspoons reduced -calorie mayon- naise, on lettuce leaves in 1 ounce pita. French Chicken Sand- wich: 1 ounce sliced chicken breast topped with romaine lettuce and 1-1 2 teaspoons French dressing on 1 ounce roll. Shrimp Pita Pocket: 2 ounces chopped cooked shrimp with 1: 4 cup diced cucumber, I tablespoon chopped scallion, 1-1 2 teaspoons Dijon vinaigrette dressing in 1 ounce pita. "A sandwich is still the mainstay of lunch", says Marie Ludwick, president Wed.

Ontario Consumer Minister Gregory Sorbara says Canadian households are getting an average of three telephone solicitations weekly. At a recent federal -provincial -territorial conference of Consumer Ministers, Mr. Sorbara's proposal for the in- vestigation of telemarketing issues was approved. The study group will look at potential problems created by the growing use of telephones, computers, televisions and other electronic devices in the direct -marketing in - The minister said that although telemarketing can pro- vide convenience for some consumers and businesses, some basic problems have been identified. Some of these problems include: -Information about sellers and their products or services can be hard to obtain or verify. -Complaints can be difficult or impossible to resolve. -Some consumers consider unsolicited calls an invasion of privacy. This concern has already prompted the Ontario Government to put forward legislation outlawing phone solicitations by companies selling funeral or cemetary ser- vices. -As telemarketers often sell outside their own countries, legal recourse in disputes is severely limited. This is a mat- ter of international concern. -The speed at which transactions take place, using elec- tronic funds transfers, credit cards, computerized order systems and other innovations, adds further complications. New technology that lets telephone users monitor the numbers from which itncoaning calls originate, is also ex- pected to cause concerns. Despite the fact that it will allow consumers to be able to screen their calls. the technology makes individuals' numbers known to companies they phare. creating possible privacy concerns - The Federal -Provincial -Territorial Working Group on Telemarketing will be responsible for producing a detailed report. analyzing these and other issues. Recommenda- tions for changes in the law, as well as educational, regulatory or voluntary ithdustry programs to address ex- isting and potential problems will be included in the report that will be presented at the next Consumer Ministers' Con- ference in 1990.
