Pickering High is celebrating this occasion all week long by holding our annual spirit week. Let's just show how much spint we have by dressing up in our best costume for that particular day. The specified costume days are posted all over the school. But a couple of hurts are "toga day" and a rather humorous "opposite sac dav". That one I have to see. A second Hallowe'en event is a pumpkin carving contest on Hallowe'en Day. We supply the pumpkin, and you suppty the im- agination. There is a race happen- ing at P_H.S., but this one doesn't involve vour feet and no, it shouldn't be in the sports section. All it re- quires is that you drink as much milk as you possibly can for the next eight weeks: bow hard can it be' All the schools in the area are part of a survey to see how much milk students dunk. We can win and that's not bull' All this week year books are on sale in the cafeteria corridor for 520, and for an extra $3 you can get your name on it. Campus kits are also on sale for $7. These are ideal gifts for the man or woman who has everything. We would like to thank Muchmusic for hosting a video dance at P.H.S. last Thursday. I'm sure it was a memorable experience for everyone as well as the movie on the "Video History of Rock". In sports, the junior girls' basketball team took the silver medal in their tour- nament beating Bowrnan- viIle but losing the gold to Midland in the end. Con- gratulations girls! The junior football team played against Dwyer last Wednesday and won with a score of 45 to 6. This was my favourite event of the week because it was early dismissal. An event like this seems to make me love football even more. 30C per copy Published by Watson Publishing Company Ltd.

No%. 1, 19189 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Don't Need GST Says Auditor General by Bob Watson -According to the federal auditor -general, Ken Dye, the federal government can reduce its appetite for more taxes if it delivers services more efficiently and collects taxes more effectiveh•. Mr. Dye says that millions of dollars are being lost because of leaks in the tax system which could be corrected easily. And he criticizes the expenses of federal govern- ment ministers whose expenses are in the area of $10 million a vear - but he can't get the accurate amounts from receipts. The auditor general also said that the social services pro- grams from Ottawa are eating up billions of federal dollars each year but there is no proof that these programs are helping the needy. As the Mulroney government doesn't seem to be too in- terested in cutting costs of government, we believe it is time for a revolt in the federal PC caucus to bring the leaders of this government in line with public thought. It is time for Conservative MPs to contemplate a radical action in the caucus to bring the Prime Minister up sharp to face the hard facts of economic and national life. His govern- ment is still spending billions more than it collects and a balanced budget is needed now - this year not in some dis- tant future Let's Keep Our FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION Kill the Goods & Services Tax GST May Harm Tourism Ontario tourism industry may face job losses and revenue shortfalls if the federal government's proposed goods and services tax ( GST) goes into effect, according to Ken Black. Ontario Minister of Tourism and Recreation. Speaking at the recent Attractions Ontario annual meeting in Mississauga, fir. Black said he is very concern- ed about the negative impact of the proposed federal GST on the domestic tourism industm. ..The combined effect of the GST and tourism marketing cutbacks at the federal level will hit the tourism industr• hard." he said. citing national figures from the Canadian Tourism Research Institute which showed a loss of almost 200,00(1)ohs and revenue of $1.2 billion by 1993. ..With increasing competition for the tourist dollar and a slump in tourism this year in Ontario, the impact of the GST will only compound our problems." he said. "The tax will encourage Ontarian_s to vacation outside the country since it generally will not apply on overseas travel packages. It will also discourage foreigners from vacationing in On- tario. " Visitors here will pay more for tourism -related goods and services. he added. since the tax will be added to previously untaxed products throughout the hospitality industry. He said Canadians may also decide not to take vacations and leisure trips at home because the GST will decrease the disposable income of Canadians Here and There 1990 Volunteer Awards Non-profit community organizations are invited to nominate candidates for the 1990 Ontario Volunteer Service Awards and Outstanding Achievement Awards, Bob Wong, Minister of Citizenship and Christine E.

This November - a month in which Canadians take a special day to reflect on those lost in defending our freedom - the association is releasing a new film that remembers a courageous group of Cana- dians. Entitled 'Korea: Canada's Forgotten War', the film pays tribute to the soldiers who fought and lost their lives in a war that most Canadians knew very little about. Monitoring zebra mussels Among the exotic species introduced to the Great Lakes over the past several years is the Zebra mussel, which has the potential to cause substantial problems for Ontario Hydro's generating stations. In Europe, the Zebra mussel has been known to block water pipes and intakes of municipal water supply plants, industrial facilities and generating stations. It also cor- rodes unprotected. submerged metal structures. It is predicted that the Zebra mussel will quickly spread through Lake Erie and Lake Ontario and eventually into the upper Great Lakes, and possibly into inland rivers and lakes. Ontario Hydro has initiated a program to monitor the organism's spread through the lower Great Lakes. Par- ticular attention is being paid to its arrival at Hydro's Nan- ticoke thermal generating station on the north shore of Lake Erie, and at Lambton thermal generating station on the St. Clair River. To date. the sampling program has resulted in a collection of Zebra mussel larvae at Nan- ticoke, and as far east as the inlet of the Welland Canal at Port Colborne. None however, has been collected at Lamb - ton generating station. In addition to the monitoring program, Hydro has launch- ed a research project in conjunction with the University of Guelphs to identify environmentally acceptable techniques to control Zebra mussels - Special Ambassadors For UNICEF The kids from the popular TV show "Degrassi Junior High" (to graduate this Fall to "Degrassi High" are special ambassadors for UNICEF!

Smaller Babies At Birth Teens who don't feel loved or wanted by their families during pregnancy give birth to smaller babies, says a study by a University of Toronto sociology professor. Previous research shows that low birthweight is centrally implicated in neonatal and postnatal mortality, and in significant developmental problems. These problems include speech difficulties, decreased reading ability, mental retardation, cerebral palsy, increased use of health resources and disruptive family functioning. in East Toronto on Sun. Oct. 29th Scarborough and Florin are twin cities. Photo - Bob Watson) Letter To The Editor About Human Rights Dear Sirs: Canadians have watched peoples throughout the world marching and launching massive demonstrations - in East Germany, China, Poland, Korea, the Philippines, the Soviet Union. and the list goes on and on. In the past their human rights have been trampled under foot, as ours have been. They are demanding reform, and in Eastern Europe they are being heard. Changes assuring basic human rights, and legal and social equality, are now taking place - except in Canada, because we have not demanded it. We in Ontario live in a wonderful land, but the population has lost its basic human rights by being forced, through taxes, to support a separate, religiously -based, school system. We thought that freedom of religion, and equality, were guaranteed us in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. But the guarantee was invalid, and, while our rights have been trampled upon, this abused majority sits idly by. By acquiescing silently to the finding of the schools of one religious denomination, you have all been silently paying for it. It does not matter to whom you pay taxes, separate school funding is a basic human rights abuse and the end of equality in education. No other religiously -based school system receives finding. We have allowed a loophole (a notwithstanding clause) in the Constitution ( Federal responsibility!) to hold up one section of Ontario society for extra special treatment, to create greater bigotry than ex- isted before, to divide our society and to fashion a state within a state. What a wonderful land we live in. we lose our basic human rights and are told everyone is being treated equally. That is the BIG LIE. Let me conclude with the words of an Irish Roman Catholic Bishop from the last century: "I can think of no better way of creating a better feeling in Ireland ( read On- tario) than uniting children at an early age and bringing them up in the same school." How about Ontario (and the rest of Canada) following his wise advice' Act now! Yours truly. William E. Grubb Pembroke Chapter Friends of Public Education in Ontario. Inc.

Paul Robeson by Martin Bauml Duberman ( Alfred A. Knopf) will be released in paperback this February by Ballantine. That means that the in- itial edition has sold well. That's not surprising given the subject but one wonders if others have found more in it than we. The book would have the reader believe that Paul Robeson was one of the leading figures in the ad- vance toward equality for American Blacks. There is no question that he was a visible participant but to suggest he was other than one of many is to denigrate the real achievements of such as Roland Hayes, James Reese Taylor and even Booker T. Washington. Paul Robeson, son of a freed slave, was a man of many gifts and ac- complishments. He was an honour student at Rutgers, a fine athlete both in amateur and professional sports, a superbly built and muscled man and the possessor of a magnificent speaking and singing voice. He performed in concert. on stage and on screen in musicials and plays. His Othello opposite Peggy :Ashcroft in Landon and Uta Hagen in New York is fre- quently stated to be definitive. And yes, he did have affairs with both those leading ladies. In his later life he was branded a communist and his U.S. passport was revoked. It is this sad time that most remember and by some convolution of thought perceive as a championing of the Black cause. Paul Robeson was never a communist! Period! He was disenchanted with the social mores of North American life having believed that accomplish- ment alone should be an en- tree to a mixed society. In his disillusion he was an easy prey for the treat- ment that Russia has 3 1, always given distinguished visitors and began to believe that the way of Russia might be better than that of the U.S. But, he never espoused com- munism and it's a shame that a book such as this should be necessary. Far better to have Mr. Robeson remembered as a supreme artist rather than to be a monumental figure in history. Mr. Duberman has researched his work well and in fact the book is just about evenly divided bet- ween text and references so it can be heavy going. In the main though it is well worth one's attention. It should and hopefully will restore Paul Robeson's proper place in memory ON RECORD: One wonders what Mr. Robeson would have thought of The Gospel at Colonus (Elektra Nonesuch) . This is a reworking of Sophocles' Oedipus at Colunus as parable -like sermons on the ways of fate and par- ticularly on a happy death. It is set in a Black Pentecostal church and is performed by the con- gregation. The recording is of a per- formance at the Annenberg Centre in Philadelphia given as part of the American Theatre Festival. To say it is powerful is to minimize. One is enthrall- ed by the true beauty of the voices and of the text which incidentally is included with the L.P. It's not heavy, however: some of the selections are just like good old time revival music and you'll find yourself wanting to clap hands. Don't: you'll miss too much. Greet Drama presented as Black revival music isn't gimmicky: in Gospel at Colons. It's true art. A performance in Toronto could be very interesting. How about the Greek theatres at the Guild Inn? RECORD NEWS: Have an ear for Roch Voisine the young Quebecker who is now hit- ting the full North American market. We were at Sutton Place recently to hear selections from his latest album and video for Star Records. Listening to him is rather like listening to Jim Croce singing in the manner of Gordon Lightfoot. He doesn't sound like either of them, of course, but that's the effect he has. His voice seems to combine the harsh reality of a Croce with the poetic nuances of Lightfoot. When mentioning this to ultra publicist Gino Empry he advised that Gordon Lightfoot is Roch Voisine's idol and that he-Gino4md arranged for Roch Voisine to meet him while in Toron- to. Young Mr. Voisine was delighted. And we're delighted to have been there to hear and see this good young singer. Two interesting releases from A. & M. are the Sound Track of Black Rain and Spark to a Flame -The Very Best of Chris De Burgh. The title of the latter says it all and we'll add only that it includes Lady in Red.

Nov. 1, 1989 ( trav I ) Florida's Lee Island Awaits Your Discovery It is almost as if this area, now known as Florida's Lee Island Coast, is perpetually awaiting discovery. Such is the long lasting impression it makes on the visitor. Some of the mystique ( which in- deed it must be, since the rich, the famous and the adventuresome have been here all along) lies in the fact that there are still un- disturbed, barely inhabited islands in this region which awaken Robinson Crusoe style fantasies. They have names of which one is sure a pirate would approve: names like Cayo Costa. Punta Blanca, Cavo Pelau, Buck and Devilfish Kevs, Johnson Shoals and Chino Island. These particular gems are only accessible by boat. with little to recommend them except for pristine secluded beaches, abun- dant native flora and col- onies of web-footed and wading birds. Still favourites among seasonal visitors, and much more accessible. are Sanibel and Captiva Islands, joined to the mainland of Lee County by a modern causew•av since 1968. Somehow Sanibel and Captiva have managed to strike just the right balance between nature and development. contriv- ing an atmosphere which is equally comfortable for both wildlife and people. The split is about 50 50. Nearly half of Sanibel has been permanently preserv- ed as the J.N.

Don't wear yourself out; this part of the world is tailor made for relaxation. Resorts, hotels, con- dominiums, cottages and campgrounds are in- variably first class. Best of all are the beaches, wide white rib- bons strewn carelessly from one end of the Lee Island Coast to the other, starting at beautiful Bonita Beach, across Estero Island, dotting the shoreline to Gasparilla's Boca Grande. Sanibel is world famous for its shell- ing, ranked third in the hemisphere, but it proves to be excellent almost anywhere here. One place to try is Love's Key at Carl E. Johnson Park, south of Fort Myers Beach and Estero Island. A delightful tractor -driven tram transports picnickers and beachcombers along a scenic boardwalk, crossing over picturesque Oyster Bay and a scenario of un- touched mangrove islets, to a delightfully deserted bit of coastline. Also worth a visit is Koreshan State Historic Site in nearby Bonita Spr- ings. Here visitors find the recently restored remains of a turn of the century religious community which believed that man resides on the inside surface of the earth gazing in at the solar systm contained within the sphere. For those who prefer a more active, sociable pace, Fort Myers Beach attracts a young, vibrant crowd to sun, soak up the rays and party on the esplanade. This is the place to take up jet skiing, parasailing, windsurfing, water skiing and catamaran sailing. All hotels are beachside and you won't have to ask if the seafood is fresh. The large Fishing and shrimping fleets based on the back bay speak for themselves. If you prefer to hook your own dinner, that too can be easily arranged.

Tt Business Community News Form Women Entrepreneurs Federation As a result of a recent in- ternational conference of women business owners, a group of Canadian women Is creating a nation-wide federation of women en- trepreneurs for the purpose of shaping policy on issues affecting women in business. The conference hosts, the Canadian Association of Women Executives & En- trepreneurs (CAWEE), are leading this movement to unify women's business owner groups across the country. One of the concerns emerging from the 37th An- nual International Con- gress of Les Femmes Chefs d'Entreprises Mondiales (FCEM) held Oct. 3-8 in Toronto, was the difficulty of women business owners around the world in getting financing for their enter- prises. "With so many issues af- fecting women en- trepreneurs - ranging from legislative concerns such as the proposed Goods and Services Tax to matters of finance and investment - Canadian women need a strong voice and a powerful network to help determine future directions," said Carol Bulmer, President of CAWEE. The steering committee for the federation was formed during a meeting Sat. Oct. 7 and includes Carol Bulmer; Marcie Weinman, President of the Canadian Association of Women Business Owners (CAWBO) ; and M. Camilla Farrell, representing the Association of Atlantic Women Business Owners (AAWBO). A represen- tative from a Quebec organization will be invited to participate, and representatives from other appropriate associations across Canada are urged to contact CAWEE at (416) 778-6145 to get involved.

NAWBO has presented such a strong front in the U.S. that the organization recently succeeded in in- troducing a ]aw eliminating inequalities in obtaining loans for women entrepreneurs. Canadian women en- trepreneurs participating in workshops throughout the six-day conference described their first-hand experiences with such len- ding inequalities in this country. Kaaydah Schatten, a Native Canadian woman who owns a very successful franchise operation, The Ceiling Doctor, described her two futile attempts to obtain funds in Canada to expand her business. She finally obtained financing in Japan the fust time and in the U.S. the second time. Vicki Kerr, owner of Miss Vicki's Pglato Chips. and Sonia Jones, owner of Peninsula Farms, both had to have their husbands co- sign their loans to expand their successful businesses. However, Gillian Rudd of NAWBO also urged Cana- dian women to think beyond the current pro- blems for women en- trepreneurs in Canada when creating their federa- tion. She said women must think globally because na- tional borders are quickly becoming irrelevant in the business world. She echoed a theme com- mon to workshop presenters and to keynote speakers Stephen Lewis, Canada's former Am- bassador to the U. N., Maureen Farrow. Partner and Chief Economist with Coopers & Lybrand and former President of the C.D. Howe Institute; and Dorothy Riddle. PhD, Pro- fessor. International Ser- vices, Centre for Interna- tional Business Studies, School of Business Ad- ministration, Dalhousie University. Keynote speaker Stephen Lewis set the tone for the entire conference on Wed. Oct. 4 with his discussion on the shift of global trading patterns that will see Europe emerge as the most important trading bloc in the next decades. Mr. Lewis received cheers from about 20 African women in the audience when he described this shift as also causing in- creased trade among rich nations at the expense of developing countries. "The rich nations are securing their privilege and abandoning developing countries. There is no north -south dialogue, no global communication go- ing on. You cannot write off hundreds of millions of peo- ple without inviting doom down the road,." according to Mr. Lewis. "At least in this gather- ing there is a hearbeat of hope," he said, strongly urging the members of FCEM to exert pressure for a more just, humane, civilized, peaceful sharing of the world's trade. With more than 30,000 women entrepreneurs in 28 countries world-wide, FCEM's main goal is to foster communication and trade among women of all nations - developed and developing. Wed.

Of Trade Recent Policy Submissions Amendments to the Business Corporations Act. INC The Ontario Ministry of Consumer and Commercial Relations may be consider- ing amendments to the Business Corporations Act. 1967- The purpose of the amendments would be to prohibit any incumbent director of an Ontario cor- poration from resigning, if the resignation would leave the corporation with fewer directors in office than the minimum number for a board of directors man- dated by the Act. The board recommends against any amendments to the Act which would limit the freedom and discretion of a director to resign his or her director ship in an Ontario corpora- tion Comments Regarding Possible Abolition of the Business Tax The Business Tax Review Committee of the Ontario Ministry of Revenue is considering recommending the aboli- tion of the busines tax and its replacement with a sur- charge on the realty tax levied on property owners. The board has serious con- cerns with this proposal. The board recommends that the Province maintain the existing system of business taxation, but eliminate the multiplicity of rates and replace them with one general rate and one lower for small business. Comments Supporting an Equitable Distribution of Capacity at Pearson Air- port Among Users In a letter to federal Transport Minister Benoit Bouchard, the board states that "Southern Ontario must have an accessible, convenient airport that can properly handle corporate aircraft." Furthermore, The Board of Trade stresses that, if the policies for improving Pearson Airport recently advocated by them were adopted by the federal government, there would be room for all aircraft types at Pearson and ex- isting restrictions could be eliminated.

In 1968 alone, the government subsidy required to keep VIA alive was $641 million or an average subsidy of $100 per passenger. As sub- sidies to VIA increased over the years, ridership declined by 20%, from 8 million in 1981 to 6.4 million in 1988. Due to declining ridership and the exorbitant cost of keeping VIA afloat, the Progressive Conservative government felt a restructuring of VIA was in dire need. On Wed. Oct. 4th, Transport Minister Benoit Bouchard announced the federal government's decision concerning VIA Rail's five-year corporate plan. The new VIA will be approximately 51% smaller than the current network but will carry at least 60% of its 1989 passenger total. Current service levels are to be reduced and certain routes discon- tinued. However, VIA will continue to provide service to truly isolated communities with no alternative means of transportation. What we are attempting to do is maintain a national network which strikes a balance between the transportation needs of Canada and fiscal realities. The decision of which routes to discontinue was the most difficult one facing the government. It is indeed unfortunate Queen's Park Report from Norah Stoner MPP Durham West "Seaton", the word has seen many headlines recently and not everybody is clear about precisely what it is, where it is and what its status is. There is basic confusion about the Pickering airport lands and the Seaton lands. A little history will help orient you. 1972, the Federal Government expropriated 18,000 acres for a second airport in the Toronto area. At the same time the Provincial Government acquired 25,000 acres for a new city to be called Cedarwood located beside the airport. The Federal lands are all basically north of Highway 7, predominantly in Pickering with additional lands in Markham and Uxbridge. The Provincial lands lie mainly south of Highway 7 and again, the majority is in Pickering with some land in Markham and Scarborough. Community responses to both the airport and Cedarwood plans achieved major changes. The airport project has been shelved and at this time the Federal Government is looking at mechanisms for returning 1, 2 of the Federal lands to private ownership. The Provincial project was scaled down from a new town on 25,000 acres with a popula- tion of 250,000 people to an urban area of 9,000 acres with a population of 90,000 people. The Provincial project is now Rnown as Seaton. The urban area with its population designation, has been recognized for many years in the Durham Region Official Plan. In the past few years, the Pickering Municipal Council has been looking at the Detail- ed plums for the fust neighbourhood to be constructed. The recent headlines are a result of a proposal by a con- sortium of developers who made an unsolicited proposal for the development of the Seaton lands. The key word here is "unsolicited". At this point the Provincial Government has riot yet decided how it wishes to proceed with the develop- ment evelopment of Seaton lands. It may well be that we willreceive ad- ditional suggestions from other individuals or orgamza- tions. It is clear that this land is going to urbanize. but there are many questions such as how' and when' There are a number of significant issues which must be considered in answering those questions. Transportation is already a serious concern to the people who live here now. Im- provements to the 401. the Taunton Steeles interconnec- tion. expanded GO systems. improved Highway 7 and the alignment of Highway 407 must all be addressed. The issue of the landfill site known as "Pi" just west of the Village of Whitevale, is a significant impediment to ur- ban development. Pickering knows from sad experience that landfill sites - "DUMPS.. - are incompatible. Surely no one would wish to recreate the miseries of the dump odours associated with the Brock West site and the neighbourhoods affected. We all know that those odours had an impact in areas quite far removed from the dump itself. The impor- tance of timing must be dealt with. Nobody would dream of suggesting that 90.000 people and 30.000 homes are going to appear overnight on the Seaton lands. How the neighbourhoods are phased and what the priorities are, must be addressed by the people who make up today's com- munity. There are opportunities to do things better in Seaton than has been done in the past. The protection of our natural heritage - those wonderful river valleys - the coo - servation of our architectual heritage, the integration of different housing types are all opportunities for truly sen- sitive development. Seaton will be part of our future. It is our responsibility jointly to make it the best that it can be. When the Govern- ment makes decisions about how to proceed with the plans and their implementation, there will be opportunities for those who care to become directly involved in the creating of Pickering's future. that the Toronto -Havelock route was one of the run cut. This route was well travelled and was more cost efficient than some, even though it too lost money. I am sure though that one of the deciding factors in its demise was the fact that the Toronto -Havelock route is ideally suited for a take- over by GO Transit. Such a take-over would serve area residents well, while simultaneously linking it to a growing system specifically designed to service daily commuters. The reduction of VIA's subsidy will result in a savings to taxpayers of $1 billion over five years. Any delay in im- plementing the five year plan would cost Canadian tax- payers further millions which, they cannot afford. I believe that this plan provides Canada with a national, affordable and sustainable rail passenger network for Canadians as we move towards the 21st century. The Finance Committee continued its Goods and Services Tax fact-finding mission, as it met with concerned Cana- dians in Whitehorse, Vancouver, Edmonton, Regina and Winnipeg. Once all the groups centred in Western Canada have been heard from, the Committee will head East to hear input from the Maritime provinces. It is the desire of the Finance Committee to ensure that no group with a legitimate concern be left unheard. Once again, I en- courage your input on the GST. I had the pleasure of attending the Ajax -Pickering Board of Trade "Touch of Class" dinner and dance, on Oct. 14th. The evening was held to help raise funds for the expansion of the Ajax -Pickering General Hospital. Jazz Incorporated, Double Stuff and Sweet Sensation, groups under the direc- tion of Bev Foster from Anderson Collegiate in Whitby, put on a wonderful show. It is good to see the residents of Whit- by raising funds for the Ajax -Pickering Hospital and I hope the reverse will happen to help fund the Whitby General Hospital.
