Yes you're correct, it's the news seeker of PHS. Some of my readers may not be extremely happy with me after I reveal the biggest student secret of the year. But for some reason the teachers were very willing to let it out. Yes, it is true: Thin-& Nov. 23rd is parent -teacher in- terview night. So if you don't see a great number of students out and about the following weekend, you will know why. To cheer you up, Air Bands now has a definite date, Fri. Dec. 8 at lunch time. Auditions are the week preceding the actual contest. If you're wonder- ing why there are foul dif- ferent sets of air bands, it is because this year we decid- ed to make the fun last in- stead of having it all over in one day. Good idea! A reminder that Christmas is coming up quite quickly and that is the reason Campus kits are go- ing just as fast. There are a limited number and time is limited, so don't miss out. For senior students who will one day leave our nest, don't forget to sign up in the Guidance Office for the university or college infor- mation session of your choice. Let's not forget the sports. Our junior football team is to be congratulated for winning the D.Y.S.S.A. tournament last Saturday against Markham. They won with a score of 31-6.

More News On Back Page Page 2 THE NEWS/POST Wed. Nov. 22, 1989 Opinion a page for expression for you and us How About It, David by Bob Watson The current waste of tax money by our Ontario govern- ment in establishing bilingualism all over this province is ridiculous. The use of French to French-speaking Ontarians is no problem. It is the flow of both languages on paper to everybody in Ontario that is wasteful. And. Premier Peterson, if both languages are so equally important how come you and your government haven't pro- tested against Quebec Premier Bourassa's restriction on English in that province? And. Mr. Peterson. if your government has money to waste on official bilingualism how come you have no money for Metro area schools? Bilingual Elite Dear Sir: Increasingly Canadians are becoming concerned about official bilingualism. Official bilingualism is creating a two tier society because it makes bilingual persons into a political elite. Is it a function of democracy to create a legislated elite? Abraham Lincoln, in the Gettysburg ad- dress, defined democracy as "government of the people, by the people, for the people". Do we have a democracy, a government of the people - by the people• if official bilingualism prohibits the majority of Canada's citizens from participating in government? Yet the majority of Canadians are unilingual. These citizens are allowed to pay taxes. but they are excluded from government to decide how those taxes are spent. Two hundred years ago mankind fought against having an official religion. Those who did not belong to the official religion had to give up their own beliefs and a part of their culture if they wanted full political rights. In Canada we have the same situation today because of official bil- ingualism. English speaking Canadians. who want their children educated in their own English language and in their Canadian -English culture. do so knowing that their children will be second Class citizens, testable to participate in their own government. They have to give up their language and culture and attend French immersion schools to have full political rights. Official bilingualism is about more than ap- peasing French Canada. Official bilingualism is about creating a political elite in a once egalitarian society. Yours sincerely. Jeff Ram• Only English Dear Sir: Did You Know' Wed.

Volunteers with the founda- tion raise funds for research and conduct education programs in your community, all with the aim of reducing heart disease and stroke - Canada's No.1 killer. The Heart and Stroke Foundation of Ontario funds education programs such as Heart Smart and Heart To Heart. These pro- grams, made possible through the funds raised by volunteer's with our non- profit foundation, have greatly reduced the in- cidence of heart disease and stroke in this province and our community. Death rates from heart disease are down by 34 percent since 1955. Majorie Wanless has been involved with the foundation for 25 years. "Heart and Stroke has made the community aware of the treatments available for heart patients that have prolonged and saved many lives." The dollars raised are returned to your communi- ty in the form of education programs and medical pro- cedures which are developed through foundation -funded research. The Heart and Stoke in Scarborough needs volunteers to contribute their expertise and time to fight heart disease and stroke, a disease which claims more than 90,000 lives in Canada each year.

( I Love You Baby Blue has played there too.) Opening night is tomor- row and the star is Juan C hioran, a name we con- fess that is unknown to us. The rest of the cast are locals, all talented and well known including Jeff Haslam, Sandra Caldwell and Larry Mannell. Presentation is by Dix- idme Productions who pro- duce the shows at Stage West so we don't believe we need add more. IN CONCERT: This Friday, just one month before Christmas Eve, Dizzy G. and Mr. B. salute Count B. at R.T. That's a bit of playful jargon to announce that -s worias Dizzy Gillepsie and Billy Eckstine are appearing with the Count Basie Or- chestra at Roy Thomson Hall. We have always huge- ly admired Billy Ekstine as a singer but as the years pass we wish now and hope Pot his skills as an in- strumentalist will be showcased. Incidentally, he is not related to legendary ragtime pianist Willie Eckstein though that latter is the original spelling of Billy's surname. On November 28th at R.T.H. the Kitchener - Waterloo Symphony under the direction of Raffi Armenian will present Strauss' Vienna featuring Vanessa Harwood's dance company Balletto Classico. The program will also in- clude soprano, Colette Boky and tenor, Mark Dubois. One has missed Miss Harwood since her tenure with the National Ballet and look forward to seeing her again. That's if our plane arrives in time. TOWN NOTES: Haven't been hearing too much lately about An Evening at La Cage. Now, thanks to Gino Empry, it's KALLIrS 2938 Eglsam Are E . SawWragn 43' r -.' Bloc.

IN PRINT: The catalogue notes for The Complete Book of For- tune (Chatto & Windus) proudly proclaim "ab- solutely compulsive reading, we challenge you not to be hooked". The notes are absolutely cor- rect. The Complete Book of Fortune is indeed com- pulsive reading and. we dare say, later reference. First published in Great Britain in 1936 it covers everything from cards, dice, crystal gazing, palm reading and tea leaves to Napoleon's Book of Fate and poplar superstitions. Quite apart from the sub- ject matter, admirers of good writing will enjoy this ecaoomical little volume for the fine grammar and proper grammatical style used throughout. proving Dace again that good gram- mar is easy to read. Something else we found enjoyable is the approach to the subject of dreams and their possible inter- pretation. It is the only book of the occult we have experienced that details, as much as is possible, the physical cause of some dreams and why they should not be considered for interpretation. Those interested in the occult will or can consider the book almost a stan- dard; those who are only mildly curious will find it interesting; all will enjoy it as a primer . . and a wonderful conservation piece.

GROUP RATES AVAILABLE FOR INFORMATION & RESERVATIONS 431-7170 CD There is no doubt that some of the recipes are delicious but to - ascribe them as being favoured by certain individuals simply because of their astrological sign is really nothing more than clever and, in the main, harmless gimmickry. Now for those of you who are interested, this Libra is said to enjoy, among other lucullan dishes, oysters with hot tomato sauce, cheese and salami en crois- sant, coquille St. Jacques (true, if properly prepared) kidney stew (dit- to), spaghetti with red (yecch) and black caviar and rose petal ice cream. Where is any mention of liver and onions? Well, let's try another cookbook. The Meat and Potatoes Cookbook by Maria and Jack Scott (Farrar, Straus & Giroux) is not quite what one might think. It is not a book about simple or stan- dard fare but rather a book in two sections: one with sup-,rb recipes for meat. the other with great and unusual potato recipes. We suspect that many will gravitate to the latter portion of the book if for no other reason than the outrageous prices one has to pay for most meat and certainly all beef. And, is it just us or have others notic- ed how much water there is in beef nowadays and bow tasteless are most beef dishes? Our comments aside, this is a most pleasurable book or the serious cook. We repeat that the recipes here are not for the inexperienc- ed though with care and at- tention all can essay them. From the pork, ham and sausage chapter we recom- mend Pork Tenderloin Slices with Prunes. From the potato specialties chapter, we suggest Vien- nese Mustard Potatoes. Excuse us now while we dash off for a peanut butter and jelly sandwich Well, what the hey, if it's good enough for Jack Nicholson, it's worth a try. ON RECORD: For some time now we have lamented the decline in popularity of romantic ballads and of those who sang them. We are par- ticularly disappointed with George Benson Tenderly ( Warner Brothers). Oh, it's good, very good; it's just that, in our mind it could have been not better, but different. Mr. Benson's talents as singer and guitarist need no recounting here. His voice is smooth and true, his guitar playing, of maestro consideration. The selections here are just made for romantic treatment. They include, the title track, Stella By Starlight, This Is All I Ask and I Could Write A Book, all songs that have stood the test of time. Mr. Benson has chosen or perhaps been directed for market considerations, to eschew romanticism in favour of vocal trickery. He does things with his voice than many other vocalists can only dream of. But, all of it does nothing for the songs .. as we expected them to be. We particularly looked forward to Stardust; he does it well but he does it no justice.

George Brown Presents East Lynne In the olden days whenever a theatre manager needed a sure fire box office hit, he would simply announce, "Next week, East Lynne" This classic Victorian melodrama is the saddest of tales, one which caused our great-grandparents to shed copious tears over its purgative moral.

Mr. Carmichael couldn't sing worth a nickel but the honest emotion in his gravel voice brought to life and full meaning the lyrics of Mitchell Parrish. Well, perhaps we're showing age now; the album is good and we ex- pect it will sell well. Still, we can't leave without ex- pressing a wish that George Benson would record something where he simply accompanies himself. FAST EXIT: It is utterly absurd, this idea of setting aside single days for great public holidays. It will never do anything but harm.

Naming Of Opera Theatre The Canadian Opera Company has announced the naming of the Imperial Oil Opera Theatre in The Joey and Toby Tanenbaum Opera Centre. In commenting on the change, Brian Dickie, General Director of the Canadian Opera Company said: "We are very for- tunate that Texaco Canada Inc., - a long-time sup- porter of the Canadian Opera Company - has been merged with Imperial Oil Limited, another loyal friend to the COC. The Joey and Toby Tanenbaum Opera Centre is the borne of the Canadian Opera Company Ensanble. It is thus very appropriate that the centre's theatre, in which all the Ensemble's Toronto productions are staged ( and all COC pro- ductions are rehearsed), be named the Imperial Oil Opera Theatre."

In the Spring of 1987 the Faculty of library and In- formation Science at the University of Toronto ac- cepted the Board's pro- posal to provide a student to work on a Directed Field Work Project. The student laid the groundwork for the establishment of a library collection for the Black and Caribbean community in the City of Scarborough. Contacts were developed with Scarborough's Black and Caribbean community including staff of the Boards of Education, social workers, parents, profes- sional and business people. The community en- thusiastically supported the concept of a distinct, centrally -housed collec- tion, which would not only mI et their specific needs and interests, but would en- compass all areas of Black and Caribbean experience and culture.

"It's worth looking at but I don't want to see a system controlled by the develop- ment industry," said Mayor Joyce Trimmer. A group of developers headed by Penta Stolp Cor- poration are willing to pay 25% of the ;1.1 billion cost to build the Sheppard sub- way. The plan, unveiled last week, calls for six sta- tions to be constructed bet- ween Yonge St. and Vic- toria Park Ave. Scarborough For the first time ever, the City of Scarborough is sponsoring an entry in the Grey Cup Parade, being held in Toronto on Nov. 25th. Scarborough's entry will feature a marching band consisting of three groups of Air do Sea Cadets from Scarborough. The 176 Rod a! Canadian Sea Cadet Metro Toronto would have to pick up 19% of the cost with the province pay- ing 56%. The subway, identified by Metro Toronto as the number one public transit priority in Metro, has been stalled by the province which is putting its transit dollars into projects out- side of Metro. The subway would eventually extend eastward from Victoria Park to the Scarborough City Centre. Metro Councillor Brian Ashton (Scarborough Bluffs) said he prefers to have Metro pay for the at - Entry In Grey Corps, the 631 Royal Cana- dian Air Cadet Squadron and the 110 Royal Canadian Air Cadet Squadron (Agin- court) will march in the parade. The parade begins at 1 p.m. at Queen's Park and continues south along University Ave. to Well- ington St. and west to Peter St. The Scarborough entry tire subway line so it, in- stead of developers, can control densities along the route. He said Metro could sell special bonds to help raise the necessary capital or perhaps get an advance from the province. As con- struction proceeds money received from developers for increased density on their lands could be used to repay the money, Ashton said. The scheme, proposed by the developers and North York Mayor Mel Lastman still has to be approved by both Metro Council and the provincial government. Cup Parade has been coordinated by S.C.O.P.E. the Scar- borough Committee on Parades and Entertain- ment.

These candles are known as "tea candles" or "tea lights' Following consumer complaints concerning this type of candle, a laboratory analysis by the depart- ment's Product Safety branch confirmed that the molten wax from such a cantle can sometimes ig- nite, cracking the potpourri burner base and scorching the supporting surface.

Riehl, Presi- dent of The Board of Trade of Metropolitan Toronto, has joined the Community Task Force on the Creation of a Greater Toronto Area Airports Authority, at the invitation of Metro Chair- man Alan Tonks, who is also Chairman of the Task Force. The board has actively studied air service issues and made suggestions for improvements at Pearson International Airport, for many years. Current government estimates in- dicate congestion and capacity problems at Pear- son are costing Metro Toronto's economy 5750,000 daily. The Airports Authority Task Force was formed this fall, to examine oppor- tunities that could come from the local operation of airports in the greater Toronto region. "The Board of Trade shares Chairman Tonks' concern about the serious and growing inadequacy of the air services system for this area," says Riehl, "and we welcome the op- portunity to work with the Airports Authority Task Force to achieve the most effective structure possible to ensure proper services in the future." Recently, Federal Transport Minister Benoit Bouchard met with board representatives to detail his plans for aviation in southern Ontario. At that time he announced the con- struction of two additional runways and promised to examine the potential of other airports in southern Ontario. A system of "peak period pricing" was also propos- ed. In its response to the Transport Minister's an- nouncement, Board Presi- dent Gordon Riehl said the taxing of airplane opera- tions during peak periods, (7-9a.m. and 4-8p.m.) would create a "cash crow" for the federal govern- ment, capitalizing on Pear - son's deficiencies and result in increased casts to business travellers, and eventually consumers.

Comments Regarding Im- plementation Options for Re -Assessment and Tax Reform Commenting on the various implementation options being considered for property tax reform in Metro Toronto, the board expresses its concern that many of the options being considered are grossly un- fair to the business com- munity.

Premier Strongly Urged To Formally Endorse Expo 2m Caesda Bid According to Metro Toronto's Economic Development Division, Ex- po Canada 2000 would in- crease Canada's Gross Domestic Product by ap- proximately 57 billion and create between 145.000-193,000 new jobs. The board has already strongly endorsed Expo Canada 2000 and is now urging Premier Peterson to formally endorse the bid. This is particularly impor- tant in light of the visit this month by members of the Bureau International des Exposition (BIE) who will be visiting Toronto to in- spect site locations and gauge community support.

Over the years, Canada's national transportation system has lagged behind in both technology and ridership. I believe that a perfect example of the failure of the transpor- tation industry is evidenced by the outlandish subsidies which were and still are required to keep VIA Rail afloat. Due to its size and sparse population, there is little question that Canada requires a much improved transportation system. It was with these ideals in mind that the govern- ment recently announced the creation of a Royal Commis- sion on Passenger Transportation. The Commission will look ahsad into the 21st century to advise governments on the needs of Canadians and on the relationships between the modes of transport in the future. Through wide consultation and its broad mandate, the Com- mission is expected to provide a clear action plan that will ensure that the transportation links among Canada's regions are maintained and improved. The Commission will inquire into and recommend solu- tions on four main areas. First, the role of a national in- tegrated inter -city passenger transportation system and its relationship to the entire transportation system. Secondly, the structure of a suitable multi -model transportation system• demonstrating the linkages. Third, the potential for and constraints on achieving a national system. Finally. the appropriate financial arrangements to achieve such a Queen's Park Report from Norah Stoner MPP Durham West Deciding Ontario's Electricity Future At the request of the Minister of Energy, Ontario Hydro will soon be presenting the government with an important document. It will contain Hydra's forecasts of electricity demand and its plans for meeting Ontario's electricity needs over the next 25 years. The government has given assurances that these plans will be subjected to thorough and comprehensive public review before any approval is given. The review will pro- vide all interested parties with an opportunity to study and assess Hydra's plans and forecasts. It will also provide an opportunity to weigh the enviocnmental implications of any proposed option or mix of options for meeting electricity needs. Ontario currently depends on electricity from three ma- jor energy sources: hydraulic, fossil and nuclear. Nuclear power currently supplies nearly half the total. When the Darlington nuclear power station is completed in 1992, more than 60% of Ontario's electricity will come from nuclear power. Ontario Hydro's and the Ministry of Energy's load forecasts indicate that new supplies may be needed by the year 2000. However, not all interested parties agree on this. Large electricity users represented by organizations such as the Association of Major Power Consumers of On- tario (AMPCO) point to growing demand and contend that new generating facilities will be needed as early as the mid -1990's. On the other hand. some consumer groups, and groups such as Energy Probe argue that conservation and energy efficiency measures can reduce the growth in de- mand and defer the need for new facilities until well after the turn of the century. During the 1970's, forecasts of high growth rates for elec- tricity. demand led to greatly increased construction of generating plants- When the predicted growth rates failed to materialize. Hydro began to mothball plants in order to reduce costs. The utility also launched major marketing programs aimed at increasing sales and gaining maximum value from its surplus capacity. More recently Hydro has responded to an upturn in the growth in electricity use, and government policies which place increasing emphasis on the need for conservation, and has shifted its marketing efforts and is launching a ma- jor conservation campaign. The government has asked Hydro to make electricity conservation its first priority in planning to meet the future needs of the province. In response, Hydro has set itself the goal of saving 5,500 MW by the year 2000 from electricity conservation, energy efficiency and parallel generation measures, which I have talked about in earlier column's. The government introduced amendments to the Power Corporation Act empowering Hydro to intensify its efforts w electricity conservation and efficiency. The amendments were also designed to make Hydro more responsive to government policies and public con- cerns. The goveimnent also introduced the Energy Efficiency AM, which sets minimum standards for energy efficiency in household appliances and energy -consuming products We have also launched a number of energy conservation programs - The government recognizes that Ontario Hydro faces a complex and difficult set of choices in developing its plans, for all available demand and supply options have en- vironmental, economic, and social impacts. The task facing the people of this province is to ensure that the electrical power system develops to meet their electricity needs in a manner compatible with Ontario's en- vironmental goals and objectives. A comprehensive public review will take place. Given the importance of the decisions being made, public discussion is crucial. It will help to ensure that the decisions on On- tario's electricity future are both timely and sotind.

It is my belief that if the goals of the Commission are achieved, it should provide Canadians with a blueprint for a comprehensive, coordinated passenger system to carry the nation well into the 21st century. I would like to thank all of those who attended my Oct. 27th Vox Pop Forum. The issues of the day were discussed in full. The next Vox Pop Forum will be held on Nov. 24, at 7:15 p.m. at the Whitby Public Library. I urge you to attend what I feel is an excellent chance to have your voice heard. It was a great honour to take part in the Remembrance Day Services at The Ajax Royal Canadian Legion. I am sure that we will see just as many in attendance at services in Whitby and Pickering. Those who served in Canada's wartime efforts are to be commended. We must never forget the sacrifices that they made for us all. On Nov. 2nd, I had the pleasure of talking with the Picker- ing H.S. Cadet Corps in Ottawa. If you would like to arrange a meeting or tour of the Parliament Buildings while in Ot- tawa, please contact my office at 666-0432.
