Today I went behind the scenes, and instead of reporting the news 1 investigated it' I am talking about Pickering High School's hit of the year M.A.S.H. Of course, we have a hit every year, but this play is dif- ferent. In previous years P.N.S. has performed many musicals and per- formed them well but this year drama will be the main theme instead of music, and I am looking forward to watching the talent of this year's cast be- ing put to the test. M.A.S.H. has been described by nurse Nancy ( played by Emma Talbot) as similar to the actual movie more so than the T. V. series. Emma said she feels a success in the mak- ing when she is at rehear- sals which are getting more tense as the perfor mance date draws nearer. Chris Paterson, who will portray Hawkeye, stated that his charter's per- sonality is just as witty as we know Hawkeye to be.

SKETCH PLANS AP- PROVED John Shaw and Craig Ap- plegarth of Carruthers, Shaw & Partners Ltd. were in attendance at the meeting to present sketch plans for the unnamed Pickering Secondary School an Liverpool Rd North, Pickering. Superintendent of Plant Jim Russell outlined for trustees the input from staff, business, industry, students and members of the community received over the past several mon- ths. The school, which is due to open in Sept. 1992, is the first secondary school built in Durham in approx- imately 18 yrs. Architect David Mills presented the sketch plans for the unnamed Pickering Beach Public School in Ajax. As the prototype of this school has been used before in Ajax, several changes to the exterior and a few alterations to the in- terior will be incorporated into the design. The school is scheduled to open in alLJli�n's PRINTING AND September 1991. Trustees reviewed and approved sketch plans for the gymnasium and library additions at Anderson CVI, Whitby, the General Pur- pose room addition at Dr. R lboi nton PS, Whitby and the family studies food room renovations at Ajax HS, Ajax, as prepared by Architect Lennis Trotter. The additions and renova- tions are expected to be completed by January 1991, December 1990 and October 1990 respectively. Additional costs for the three projects will be ad- dressed at the Board final approval stage. Allan Sheriff and Dorothy Mazeau of Allan & Sheriff Architects, were on hand to present sketch plans for the unnamed Graywood Public School, Whitby. The school is scheduled for completion by September 1991. Food Bank Drop Boxes All branches of the Pickering library will of- fer drop boxes for canned and packaged food to make it easier for you to drop off items for the Christmas Food Bank. Next time you drop in to pick up and return your books don't forget to bring an item for the food bank and help us all share in the Christmas spirit. All items will be sent to the Picker- ing Ajax Community Food Bank. member of UFCW, United Food & Commercial Workers International Union, Local 175, Susan Colpitts, has initiated a signature petition in her store. A part time steward at Miracle Food Mart No.254 in Whitby, Susan collected over 400 signatures of fellow workers and customers at the store. The union members say that the only consideration for stores to open en masse on Sundays is purely economical. Customer ser- vice is not an issue. And union memmbers do not want to be forced into working Sundays. Contrary to what the Committee for Fair Sopp- ing has argued. customers appear to support the ef- forts of union members' desire for a common pause day. Bon Voyage Party The Liverpool Communi- ty Branch library will be hosting a "Bon Voyage Party.. on Tues. Dec. 19th from 7 to 8 p.m. Everyone is invited to come and join the library board members in saying goodbye to the staff and boots at the branch and prepare for their departure to the new Central Library at the Municipal Complex. Special events for the farewell week will include: no fines for books returned during Dec. 18 to 23, so that they can be packed for the move; a display of photos and plans of the new municipal complex, in- cluding the new library; refreshments; and a drop box for packaged food items for the Christmas food drive. For further details call 831-2982. The Volunteer Associa- tion of the Whitby Psychiatric Hospital whose prime mandate is to enhance its clients needs, is once again, appealing to community service clubs, organizations and in- dividuals to assist in meeting its clients' Christmas gift giving needs. Unwrapped items such as mens and women per- sonal needs, soaps, talcs, etc., costume jewellery, slippers, socks and nylons and perhaps something for the sweet tooth would be welcome. The volunteer associa- tion is continually grateful for the tremendous com- munity support it receives, and extends personal thanks and greetings for a very Merry Christmas to community friends. Donations of gifts may be left at the Volunteer Association office in the ad- ministration building bet- ween 8 and 5 p.m. Page 2 THE NFWS POST Wed. Dec. 13, 1989 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Childcare Coops The decline of the extended family in Canadian society has placed increasing emphasis on alternative child care options. In this environment, co-operative child care has come under careful scrutiny as one of the options. The federal government's Co-operatives Secretariat has just completed a study of the role of co-operatives in child care. "The study shows that co-operative child care has signifi- cant benefits for parents and their children." said Ken Mc- Cready. Director of the Co-operatives Secretariat. "In par- ticular it encourages parental involvement in the education system• provides cost-effective quality child care, and of- fers development opportunities for both parent and child." The report forecasts that growth will occur in higher in- come areas where the benefits are affordable. in low in- come areas ,^•here subsidies are available and in companies where employee co-ops are encouraged. To meet the need for more child care, the Secretariat sees the development of more company -sponsored co-ops for their employees, more worker co-ops run by the staff, 24 hour child care oriented to shift workers, and flexible systems for pan time workers. Governments at all levels are encouraged to consider legislative and financial measures to help achieve better child care, more responsive parents and a more efficient workforce. The study looked at 1966 data supplied by 283 of the 469 child care co-ops registered in Canada. They reported 19,603 members and 944 staff - 649 full time and 295 part time. They had a combined income of $14 million; $10 million from fees for services. $3 million from governments and $800.000 from sundry sources. They own more than $5 million in assets, about half of it in land and buildings. The Co-operatives Secretariat was established in 1967 to help the federal government respond more effectively to the concerns and needs of co-operatives.

Drug & Alcohol Use A new survey by the Addiction Research Foundation shows that drug and alcohol use among Ontano adults re- mained at the same level between 1987 and 1989. However• there were changes within a few subgroups of the population: daily drinking declined among 1& to 29 -year Olds and among professionals and managers; tranquillizer use increase among 18- to 29 -year old women, cannabis use increased among residents of Northern Ontario and among the unemployed. $44,650 Provincial Grant A $44,850 provincial grant will equip the West Scar- borough Neighbourhood Community Centre with a com- puter system designed to streamline operations and ad- ministration.

Manitoba, once known as the Village of Lyall, Manitoba. If you or any member of your family lived or went to school here, please send us your family history, pictures. anecdotes, experiences, etc. to the Garson history Book Committee, Box 129, Garson, Manitoba, ROE ORO by Dec. 1, 1989. This book will only be as good as the information you send us. We also ask you to come back home July 2629th 1990. to help us celebrate 75 years as an incorporated village. Thank you. The Garson History Book Committee French or English? Dear Sir: I thought that perhaps your readers might be interested in what happens to a book that is not popular with our Cana- dian Government. I wrote and published the book "ENOUGH!" (Enough French, Enough Quebec) after reading and being angered by the Ontario French Language Services Act, and the then -proposed new Official Languages Act. To me, both those pieces of legislation appeared to have but one goal - to make Canada a French-speaking nation forthwith, and I wanted to make one last attempt to show English-speaking Canadians what is being done to our country. The book came out in mid-June 1988, and fortuitously, I thought, i was able to take the new book to the Canadian Booksellers' Association trade show in Toronto just a week later. For three days I stood there, with copies of the book plus signs showing the record -making sales of my earlier book (120,000). Amazingly, I received not one single order from bookstore buyers, which struck me as just a bit odd. Since then, with the help of a lot of individuals and organizations, "ENOUGH!" has sold 20,000 copies. But despite those sales Canada's bookstores, with a handful of exceptions, refuse to touch the book. Is this refusal because of fear of Ottawa's bookstore inspectors, or have the bookstores been bribed outright with the taxpayers' may? One enterprising Coles store -manager who did stock the book told me she was ordered to remove it after a single French-Canadian created a scene in her store. and then wrote to Coles' head -office. Meanwhile, a French-Canadian book received the Canadian Government's highest literary award for instructing French Canadians to "nurture our hatred for English Canada". "Everything that weakens and humiliates English-speaking Canada must cause tis to rejoice." Such is Canada today. In Quebec. Ottawa, New Brunswick, Northern and Eastern Ontario, English-speaking Canadians are not only being humiliated but badly frightened by the overt French takeover in those areas. But in the Toronto. Mississauga areas, which have already been officially designated for full French -language services in the public and private sec- tors. English-speaking Canadians don't have a clue as to what is being done to them and to our country. The reason they don't know is because the Globe & Mail, the Toronto Star, Maclean's Magazine. and most other major papers across Canada have purposely not been telling Canadians what is going on. Peter Brimelow• called it the "conspiracy of silence". Anyway, if "ENOUGH! " isn't available from bookstores, it is available from the address below for $5 a copy, autographed if desired ( personal cheques preferred) , for at least a little while longer.

' Moving the tax down to 7 percent from 9 doesn't get rid of the overwhelming cost of collecting the tax for ' business nor the large number of new civil servants ' necessary to handle the tax and all of its variations. The tax is not good for the economy. The tax is hard on ' small business and those on the lower incomes. It is a ' --- --- - - ------ lousy way of financing the wiles of government! rr ■ Address And :Michael Wilson has yet to agree that ' newspapers• magazines and books are exempt sales ' taxes, which is the way it has been in this country since we started. They are also exempt in Britain and western Europe - but Mr. Wilson's GST would kill everything including the freedom of speech. If tax monies are needed let's put more on income ' and corporation taxes - at least those dollars come ' from pockets that are not economically handicapped. (1f course• reduced spending is necessary - but there is also the matter of the bank interest rates. We believe ' the head of the Bank of Canada should be replaced im- mediately by a person who will note that our interest ' rate is three percentage points above the American one. our dollar is too high to the U.S. dollar to allow our exporters a chance in the American market and people r can't buy houses or cars with the intermit rate this ' high. If you wish to protest this destructive GST cut out this opinion and the form below and send to the Prime iMinister. You don't need a stamp to send it. ' Prime Minister B. Mulroney ' house of Commons ' Ottawa. Ontario ' I agree with this opinion. Please cancel this destruc- t, ve GST before we all succumb to a recession. 1"ours sincerely, i Name ' Aderrss Childcare Coops The decline of the extended family in Canadian society has placed increasing emphasis on alternative child care options.

JOY TO THE WORLD Joy to the world! the Lord is come, Let earth receive her king; Let every heart prepare Him room, And heaven and nature sing, And heaven and nature sing, And heaven and heaven and nature sing. Joy to the earth! The Saviour reigns; Let men their songs employ; While fields and floods, Rocks, hills and plains, Repeat the sounding joy, Repeat the sounding joy, Repeat, repeat the sounding joy He rules the world with truth and grace, And makes the nations prove The glories of His righteousness, And wonders of His love, And wonders of His love, And wonders, wonders of His love. _ S/IIS �+I rt R IT CAME UPON THE MIDNIGHT CLEAR It came upon the midnight clear. That glorious song of old, From angels bending new the earth To touch their harps of gold: "Peace on the earth, good -will to men From heaven's all -gracious King!" The world in solemn stillness lay To hear the angels sing. Still through the cloven skies they come, With peaceful wings unfurled; .And still their heavenly music floats O'er all the weary world: Above its sad and lowly plains They bend on hovering wing, And ever o'er its Babel sounds The blessed angels sing. For lo, the days are hastening on, By prophet -bards foretold, When, with the ever -circling years, Comes round the age of gold: When peace shall over all the earth It's ancient splendors fling, And the whole world give back the song Which now the angels sing. AWAY IN A MANGER Away in a manger, No crib for His bed, The little Lord Jesus Laid down His sweet head. The stars in the bright sky Looked down where He lay The little Lord Jesus Asleep on the hay. The cattle are lowing, The Baby awakes, But little Lord Jesus No crying He makes. I love Thee, Lord Jesus; Look down from the sky, And stay by my cradle Till morning is nigh. Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask Thee to stay Close by me forever, And love me, I pray. Bless all the dear children In Thy tender care, And take us to heaven To live with Thee there. HAVE YOURSELF A MERRY LITTLE CHRISTMAS Have yourself a merry little Christmas, let your heart be light, From now on, our troubles will be out of sight. Have yourself a merry little Christmas, make the Yuletide gay, From now on, our troubles will be miles away. Here we are as in olden days, happy golden days of yore, Faithful friends who are dear to us gather near to us once more. Through the years we all will be together, if the Fates allow, Hang a shining star upon the highest bough, And have yourself a merry little Christmas now. -- AGINCOURT MALL 3850 Sheppard Ave. East Agincourt.

It really doesn't matter how old is the child: there are books for all ages. What follows are some books brought to our atten- tion and which we recom- mend. As much as space permits, we will attempt to indicate suitable recipient ages but in the main, readers can make their own determinadan. How My Body Worts (Dinosaur Collins) is a short little work with cheerfd drawings that ex- plain how the body func- tions. Cheery. informative and enjoyable - Match and Sort (Behtha Collins) is intend- ed for children between two and five years of age. It is, as the title implies, a series of drawings of all shapes and sines that the child is to match and sort. It would seem to offer early aid in powers of observation but one wonders about the co- ordination of sight and position. Mind you, we sweated out abstract match ups when we took our Mensa test. Nor perhaps surprising- ly, Will It Rain Today? ( Dinosaur Collins) is from Britain and is an early primer on what rain is and why we have it. For children about five we should think. Celebrations Around the World ( Dinosaur Collins . . again) opens up the world to young readers lust about early ocTmatKthup (Col- lins) is a dear little book that an adult can read in about 45 seconds. It quite simply and with illustra- tions tells about tomatoes and how they become ket- chup. Is there any little one who doesn't like tomato ketchup? The Story of a Farm (An- dy# Deutsch) has a strong British flavour as it tells in pictures the story of a far- mhouse from its beginning in Saxon England. Most in- teresting, decidely educa- tional and a visual delight. Fact is, it could almost be considered a coffee table book. P A CHILDREN'S MUSICAL CONCERT AT Cedarbrae Collegiate Sat. December 16 - 11 am & 1:30 pm Tickets $7 ea. or 4 for $25 Order by phone 266-9309 Sponsored by West Hill Lions Club After the concert children will have hours of fun reading °`F or colouring along while listening to their favourite music. Bring home a Golden Book 'n' Tape available at fine book and department stores for $7.95 or less. Dear Mili (Farrar, Strauss and Giroux) might well be a good financial in- vestment as well as an in- vestment in good literature for little ones. It was in September of 1983 that the world read of the discovery of a previous- ly unknown tale by Wilhelm Grimm of the Brothers Grimm. Dear Mili is that tale and a nice one it is too. We have no in- tention of telling the nar- rative line. This is a book that each must discover for himself. Let us say orgy that Mili is now part of the pantheon of beloved children's tales in- cluding Cinderella and Snow -White. The illustrations are suitably classic. Never Shave a Camel is for older children and is a series of essays and short pieces on supposed fribbl- ing questions. Can you drink sea water? What should you do if a king cobra bites? Why should you never shave a camel? Harmless stuff and positively warranted to spawn a new generation of trivia buffs. Published by Jonathan Cape. Finally. we have Cut and Construct Your Own Bron- tosaurus (Ballantine). Should be great to keep the children amused while you indulge in your post Christmas dinner torpor. LN CONCERT: Incredible as it might seem. we did not become aogaai,nted with the works of Schubert until our early teens. We were appearing at the Royal Alex, right here in Toronto, in a tour- ing production of Blossom Time. That's the Siginuund Romberg musical based loosely om the melodies of Schubert and Heinrich Bert#. !Naturally we fell in love with the works of Schubert bowdlerized though they were and have laved them ever since. With great joy then, we commend to your custom Schubertiade to be presented next Sunday by the Canadian Opera Com- pany Ensemble. It will be held in the Imperial Oil (us- ed to be Texaco) Opera Centre at 227 Front St. E. and performance time will be 7:30 p.m. One is hard pressed to think of any more charm- ing Christmas vocal treat.

' `Hofd+rs Safety For Christmas Trees Christmas celebrations often centre on a festively decorated tree. To make sure this once -a -year addi- tion to your home doesn't introduce fire or electrical hazards, proper planning and care are essential. Your first decision might concern whether to have a natural or an artificial tree. In this ecologically conscious age, some con- sumers may hesitate to cut down or buy a natural tree for a ten to twelve day period. According to Tax Preparers To work the 1990 tax season.

Forestry Canada, however. you don't deed to worry that buying a natural tree fosters the depletion of our natural resources. Trees you cut on tree farms or buy on woodlots are bred especially for use as Christmas trees. and are usually grown on land that is too poor for other crops or marketable lumber. 1111ink Flesh Remiember, a dry tree is a fire hazard. You can test a natural tree for freshness by tapping the base of the tree on the ground. If needles fall off or can be easily pulled off, the tree is too dry. Drip Dry Once you get your tree home, let it drip a while to allow ice and snow to melt from it. Although freshness is important, excess moisture could be a shock hazard if a tree is decorated with electric Christmas lights. On the other hand, don't let your prur evergreen languish in a corner. Keep it outside with the butt end in the snow, preferably in the shade, until you're ready to put it up. Before you put it up, recut the butt diagonally (so it can absorb water), and mount the tree secure- ly in a large reservoir stand with widespread legs so it won't top over. Check the water level daily and add more as required. If you have young children or pets, it's a good idea to use guy wires con- nected to the wall to steady the tree. If possible, put the tree up in an area you can close off to children. Avoid Fire Hazards Set up all types of trees, whether artifical or natural, away from sources of heat. Unplug your tree lights when on one is in the room. Decorate With Care Avoid combining angel hair ( glass wool) with spray -on snowfalkes: the combination is highly com- bustible. With metallic trees remember never to use electric light strings. In- stead, shine a spot or floodlight for a colourful ef- fect. TRANSPORT DRIVERS REQUIRED Freedorn, excellent pay, travel.

Of Real Relaxation As Club Med prepares to turn the big "4-0" in 1990, it is dramatically different from its first village where guests camped in army surplus tents and helped wash dishes. Yet its spirit of friendship and informali- ty remain the same. Founded on the belief that vacationers need an escape from the rigors of daily life. today's Club Med is indeed the quintessential antidote for civilization. The world's largest vaca- tion village organization with 110 villages on five continents, Club Med today offers accommodations ranging from bungalows to luxurious hotel rooms. This year. Club Med will complete a $LOB million renovation of its Western Hemisphere villages. And in 1990. Club Med will enter the increasingly popular cruise market when it laun- ches Club Med 1, the world's largest luxury sailboat. Today's G.M.s (Gentle Members as Club Med guests are known) have also changed from those fust rugged vacationers. Owing to the universal ap- peal of a Club Med vacation -idyllic location and a unique village lifestyle where guests are free to do almost anything or nothing at all-Qub Med visitors today include couples, families and seniors. as well as singles. The melon age of guests is 35. nearly half are married. and nearly half have children. Club Med Evolves to Keep Pace With Changing lifestyles Throughout its fust 40 years. Club Med has kept pace with the changing needs of vacationers while providing a unique escape. The universal appeal of Club Med can be attributed to its carefree lifestyle, made possible by the all- inclusive nature of the Club Med vacation package. combined with the infor- mal atmosphere of the village. Part of this spirit has always been the camaraderie developed at mealtime, when guests traditionally dined at tables for eight, and ac- commodations, which have always been double oc- cupancy without locks. However, times change and today Club Med now of- fers speicalty restaurants featuring tables for one, two. four or six people at all Western Hemisphere loca- tions, as well as single oc- cupancy rooms ( depending upon availability) at Caravelle (Caribbean), The Sandpiper ( Florida ), For all your trawl roads "We'll show you what Travel Service really means" 284.8300 MORNINGSIDE MALL The mall entrance beside Woolco, Upper Level OPEAI 9:30 a.m. -4:30 p.m. Mon. - Fn to a.m. - 5 p.m. Saturday$ Magic Isle ( Haiti ), Bucan- neer's Creek (Martinique), Turkoise (Turks & Caicos), Paradise (Bahamas), Moora (Tahiti), Sonora Bay.

In addition, Club Med is completing a $308 million renovation of its Western Hemisphere villages, which includes the addition of safes for valuables as well as locks for all rooms. Club Med Offers Flexibility As Baby Boomers have aged, leisure time has shrunk dramatically, mak- ing it increasingly difficult to find time for the tradi- tional week-long vacation. A recent Harris poll reports that the amount of leisure time enjoyed by the average North American has shrunk 37 percent since 1973, while the average work week has escalated from 41 to 47 hours over the same period. In response to this trend, Club Med now offers "Flexi-vacations" as an alternative to the tradi- tional one -or -two-week vacation package. Work -weary vacationers can now escape to many Club Med villages for any amount of time - a day, a long weekend, a mini -week or an extended one-wedu period. "Flexi-vacation" options are currently available at Sonora Bay, Playa Blanca and Ixtapa in Mexico, Paradise Island in the Bahamas, The Sand- piper in Florida and Turkase in the Turks & Caicos islands. Famih Vacation Options As more and more Club Med devotees married and had children, Club Med responded with Baby Clubs and Mini Clubs for the tiniest vacationers. Pioneered 20 years ago in its European villages, Mini Clubs function as a "cub- withina-chub", offering 12 hours of activities daily for youngsters ages two through 11. Baby Clubs care for in- fants from four to 23 mon- ths old for up to ten hours a day. Supervision is provid- ed by well-trained staff members, while parents and grandparents can en- joy all that the Club Med of- fers. At any time, the whole family can re -group to spend time together. Club Med has 38 Mini Clubs and 13 Baby Clubs in villages around the world. In the Western Hemisphere, Mini Clubs are located at St. Lucia (Caribbean). Punta Canta (Dominican Republic), Eleuthera ( Bahamas) , Ix- tapa (Mexico), Copper Mountain (Colorado) and The Sandpiper ( Florida ). The Sandpiper also features a Baby Club. Last year, more than 80,000 children shared vacations with their parents at family villages. Tank Tag is the neNe-,t participation ride at Boardwalk and Rasehall near Orlando. Tank Tag In Central Florida "There's No Such Thing As Too Much Fun", takes on new meaning at Board- walk and Baseball with the addition of "Tank Tag" to the Central Florida theme park's offerings. Tank Tag, which represents an investment in excess of a half -million dollars, is located near the park's newest ride, Tilt -A - Whirl. The Tank Tag arena includes a P' X Gift Shop and Mess W. The entire area is decorated in a '.MASH" motif. Created by Amusement Service Corporation. Tank Tag is a participatory game that consists of two passenger tanks competing against each other inside a covered arena. Each tank seats a driver, who is responsible for steering the vehicle for- ward, bacikward, Int or right. The passenger serves as gunner. Situated m a pivoting turret, the passenger operates the tank's gun, which fires rac- quetballs at speeds up to 8o auks per hour. The object of the game is to immobilize other tanks in the arena by hitting special orange targts located on the sides of the tanks and gun turrets. Hit- ting the target on the tank's body shuts the vehicle off for 10 seconds, while hit- ting the turret target renders the tank's gun in- operable for 10 seconds. It's the participation Scarborough Chinese Day by Gay Abbate Jan. 24 will be Chinese Day in Scarborough. Council decided last week to honour the city's large Chinese community with a special day the way it is already acknowledging the Japanese influence through a Japan Day. Festivities will begin at 12:30 p.m. at the Scar- borough Civic Centre with Chinese folk dancing. This will be followed by a series of seminars on immigra- tion and investment in Canada and Canadians in- vesting in China. As well, displays of Chinese arts and crafts will be on exhibit in the civic centre. A reception will be held at the Sheraton East Hotel at 4 p.m. Let Your Travel Agent Book Your Trip factor that makes Tank Tag so much fun." the game's Marketing Director Robert Plarr said. "Unlike a shooting gallery or similar attraction, you are a part of the action in Tank Tag " The fun is not limited to the drivers and gunners in- side the tanks. Forty can- nons, which also shoot rac- quetballs, are located around the arena's perimeter. Guests may purchase buckets of rac- quetballs at the Amaro Depot and join in the ac- tion. It was guests enthusiasm for the game. as well as the participatory nature of Tank Tag, that convinced Boardwalk and Baseball to add the attraction. "When we first looked at Tank Tag, we were very im- pressed with the amount of fun the patrons had playing it." B B Vice President of Merchandise Van Rice said. "But more important- ly, it was a game the whole family could play at the same time." Less than 20 Tank Tag games are in operation na- bar ide at the present time. Boardwalk and Baseball's permanent in- stallation is the fust in Florida. Tank tag costs $3.50 per person for a five minute ride as either gun- ner or driver. Racquetballs for the perimeter cannons may be purchased in lots of five for $1; 12 balls for $t or a bucket of 50 balls for $5. The Tank Tag project is part of nearly $3 million of additions, improvements and renovations made to Boardwalk and Baseball since November 1988. Since that time, the theme park has added the world famous "Royal Lipizzan Stallion Show," installed the IMAX movie '.Speed", added five new rides, in- cluding a "Tilt A Whirl" and a brand new "Big Wheel", and added new color schemes to several rides. Boardwalk and Baseball is 12 minutes west of Walt Disney World at 14 and US 27. General admis- sion is $18.96; $14.96 for kids under 4 feet tall and seniors (56+), free under aee 3.

The board noted the provincially approved practice of druggists substituting generic drugs for brand name prescribed drugs without individual consent. It also pointed out the affect this practice is having on research and development investment in Ontario.

Jan. 19, 1989 i Michael Lauber, Chairman of the board's Ad Hoc Committee on Municipal Structure, ap- peared before the City of Toronto's Task Force on Municipal Elections. August 25 -Outside Legal Representation in Assess- ment In acknowledging the board's recent submission to the Toronto City Council the City's Commissioner of Finance, George Clarke advised that the retention of outside counsel to active- ly represent the city in matters involving appeals of large commercial pro- perties is not intended to be a rectification of the pro- blems inherent in Toronto's antiquated assessment rolls. Rather, it is immediate action to support the Regional Assessment Com- missioner and to maintain the current property assessment base, while separate strategies are followed to obtain a fairer and more reasonable basis of assessment for property taxation. Mr. Clarke advis- ed he will be rejecting our contention that involving themselves in appeals is in- appropriate, and he will be describing separately the City's concerns and strategies to resolve issues relating to assessment as a whole. . 5K Cathy Maclntrye, branch manapvr of Kelly Temporary Sen -ices in Scarborough won the lucky draw prize at the Nov 23rd Scarty)rough Chamber of Commerce luncheon.

Clune, trustee for ward 16, was elected chairman of the Metro Separate School Board at the inaugural meeting of the hoard on Nov. 28. Barbara Poplawski was elected vice-chairman of the board and Charles E. Arsenault was re-elected honourary treasurer. Paul S. Rouleau was elected president of the committee of the whole French - language section. In his inaugural address to the 26 member board. Mr. Clune called upon all pupils, parents, as well as trustees and staff to reaf- firm their commitment to Catholic education as they begin the new decade. And while the board's facilities expand to provide programs for students with special skills and talents in the academic, vocational and technical areas. Mr. Clune reminded students that they are responsible for their own education. .'Our mission statement rightly says that this school system 'offers' you an education," said Clune "Others can teach. Others can provide facilities for learning. but only you. the student. can learn. Take up the challenge of learning and be the best that you can be. - Mr. Clune says the On- tano Ministry of Education calls for a student -centred curriculum. but added that the board must go a step further and "also makes ours a Chnst-centred cur- riculum... Addressing the area of personnel, Mr. Clune con- gratulated board officials. principals and teachers and support staff for leading the way in Catholic education. He also con- gratulated the board's Human Resources staff for their diligence in seeking out qualified Catholic sup- port staff from across Canada "because the faculties of education are not expanding their enrolments at a rate that meets our needs..' Mr. Clune, who was fust elected to the Metro Separate School Board in 1975, is also president of the Metro Toronto Catholic Education Foundation and a former member of the Board of Governors at George Brown College. As one of his fust official duties as chairman, Mr. Clune presented the Metropolitan Separate School board's Awards of Merit for distinguished ser- vice to Catholic education. The three recipents of this year's award were: the late Mary Monica Young, a former superintendent of education, who was respon- sible for establishing junior kindergartens in the 1►ISSB system: Maurice Brennan, a former superintendent of maintenance, who demonstrated outstanding leadership and organiza- tional abilities during the years of the board's most rapid growth. and the late Joseph Grittani, a former trustee who served the board as chairman in 1975-1976, a time when a massive building program was underway at the ZiSSB. Durham Makes Deal For Metro Dump by Gay Abbate Durham Regional coun- cil has approved a deal with Metro Toronto which might save [northeast Scar- borough from being used for a garbage dump. The deal, approved last week, would net the region more than 5400 million by. allowing Metro to dump about 5 million tonnes of waste over the next five years on land near Whitevale in North Picker- ing. Metro Council News Don Vallev Parkway The firm of Totten Sims Hubicki Associates has been hired to develop a strategic plan to integrate and schedule the rehabilitation of all in- frastructure elements associated with the Don Valley Parkway. Cost of the consultant's work is not to exceed $48,000. Future 7W Bus Garage Metro has approved the purchase of 6.4 hectares of land on the east side of Markham Rd. south of Steeles Ave. E. for a future TTC bus garage. Total cost of the land is $10,520,000. Another $2 million has been approved for engineering of the garage making a total of $12,520,000 for the project. With the provincial sub- sidy of $9,308,190, the Metro Toronto cost would be $3,102,730. Finch Ave. E. Signals Metro Council has ap- proved of traffic control signals to be installed at the intersection of Finch Ave. E. and Wayside Ave. Adirondack Gate, and at Finch Ave. E. and Finchdene Square. As requested by Scar- borough Council. widening of Finchdene Square to pro- vide separate left and right turn lanes for southbound traffic at Finch Ave. E. will be undertaken. Transportation Congestion A sub -committee of the Metro Transportation Committee has been set up to consider the implemen- tation of a short term strategy to manage transportation congestion in Metro. On the committee are Councillors Lois Griffin, Derwyn Shea and Maureen Prinsloo. Among the ideas ex- pressed on this subject was that it was politically unac- ceptable to build additional expressways in Metro Toronto in the foreseeable future. Victoria Park Ave. Widen - Ing A special public meeting on the Victoria Park Ave. widening is being planned. Metro is looking for a location because it will run out of space at its two cur- rent landfills within two Whichever of the two sites is selected, the Rouge will be impacted. The Pickering site is less than one mile from the Rouge River although the Scar- borough M-2 site on Beare Rd. is much closer. Metro Council will vote next month on whether to approve the deal with Durham. The Pickering site is strongly opposed by Whitevale residents and Pickering Council, both of whom plan to take legal ac- tion to try to stop the dump. Metro Council last week put the M-2 Rouge site forth as a candidate for a short- term dump. The area designated is north of the former Beare Rd. dump. But this site is being op- posed by the Save the Rouge Valley System and by several residents whose homes would be bulldozed to make way for the dump. The federal government has committed $10 million to turn the Rouge Valley in- to a park. However, the province, which owns the majority of the land, has still to decide whether it will preserve the area as a natural park or allow a dump and or an ex- pressway through it.

Under six's should be with an adWt- Queen's Park Report from Norah Stoner MPP Durham West Dialogue On Drugs Drug Abuse. tion of us know all about it. It is a topic of discussion on the evening news, at our din- ner tables and in our political arenas. We know as a society, that drugs kill. Drugs waste human potential and drugs destroy families. It is a pervasive force in all our lives. For me and other members of the Legislature, what came out of Ken Black's "Report Of The Task Force On Il- legal Drug Use In Ontario", was the sense that we had to deal with this in our own communities. This was the reason behind my publication, "Try Hugs, Not Drugs". Drugs are everywhere. Recent Provincial statistics sug- gest that between 20 and 25% of Ontario students between the ages of 11 and 19 will use illegal drugs at least once dur- ing this coming school year. If one looks at the university level, those numbers go up to 35%. And, nearly three- quarters of school age kids who drop out of school can be ex- pected to use illegal drugs in the next year. No community is immune from the plague of drug abuse. Illegal drug use, if left unchallenged, threatens the quality of life of everybody in Ontario. The financial implications of substance abuse in Ontario are overwhelming. The value of illegal drugs sold in On- tario this year is estimated at over $4 billion - which makes it the single biggest industry in the province. You and 1, as taxpayers, must spend an estimated $9 - $10 billion every year as a direct result of drug abuse. One of the most troubling facts about drug abuse is that our children are the most vulnerable and therefore the most likely victims of illegal drugs. Your child - my child - not just a cold statistic! With Rene Soetens, M.P. On Nov. 28th, Bill C-43 An Act respecting abortion, passed its second reading in the House of Commons. While most government votes adhere to strict party lines, this Bill had both support and opposition on both sides of the House. The Bill passed with a total of 164 yeas as opposed to 114 nays. After second reading a bill is sent to a committee who, with the aid of witnesses, reviews the bill clause by clause. After this intense process is completed, the committee then drafts a report of amendments, which are either applied or rejected. Only after this process is completed will the true test of the third reading take place. Bill C-43 has now been referred to a Legislative Committee. Before the vote on Bill C-43 took place, Prime Minister Mulroney gave a speech on his view of this most contentious issue. Unfortunately, he was interrupted by a small con- tingent of lobbyists who abused their right to watch the pro- ceedings of the House from the public gallery. If you would like a copy of the Prime Minister's speech, it is available from my office by calling 686-0432. On Mon. Nov. 27th, the Finance Committee's Report on the Goods and Services Tax was tabled in the House of Com- mons. The Report contained some major revisions to the proposed tax as it stands in its present form. For your infor- mation. I have listed some of the major changes that are contained in the committee's Report. The report calls for a reduction in the tax rate from 9 to 7%. This would be financed through a 5% tax on real estate sales, cancellation of the proposed reduction in the middle income tax bracket from 26% to 25%, a reduction in the pro- posed GST tax credit. and by not reducing the total taxes paid on alcohol and tobacco. It is my belief fiat a lower GST rate would reduce the one time impact on consumers by having a negligible impact on the inflation rate. Exemptions would be made for non -elective psychological seryices. pan -mutual betting and provincial lottenes. A fifty percent rebate on the tax paid by child care centres to put them on the same basis as non-profit centres would be established in addition to more generous treat- ment for the non-profit, voluntary and recreational sectors. The committee calls for more streamlined GST accoun- ting procedures for small business and recommends tighter rules governing the availability of tax credits to financial institutions. The government must also leave the door open to a national sales tax with the provinces. If the GST generates additional revenue from the GST over and above that anticipated by the government. the committee sug- gests that those funds should be used to reduce the deficit rather than finance new programs. The government will review the committee's recommen- dations and will introduce legislation on the GST by the end of the year. It was clear during the course of the Finance Committee's hearing that there was a strong consensus that the existing Federal Sales Tax must be replaced. While the Finance Committee list several changes to varying aspects of the proposed GST, we feel that the structure of the GST is based on sound economic principles. In my opi- nion, these principles will have a positive impact on Canada for years to come. ..................... Last week Ken Black announced that Ontario will spend a total of $9.2 million over the next two years to encourage communities to work together on innovative community- based projects designed to reduce the illegal use of drugs. This community action program will be funded and co- ordinated by the Provincial Anti -Drug Secretariat. First step initiatives include $4.5 million that has been allocated for planning, operating and evaluation of these test sites. On-going funding to operate these test sites will be approved on a community by community basis. A $3 million Community Grants Program to help com- munities across Ontario organize and carry out activities to reduce the illegal use of drugs. One-time grants will be available for projects that demonstrate initiative and in- novation and focus on prevention. A $1.7 million fund will be established to provide informa- tion and assistance on planning and training to reduce the illegal use of drugs, for all community coalition groups. $1.2 million through to March 1992, through Ontario's Health Ministry to fund the activities of Community Action Groups. Based on the recommendation of District Health Councils, grants of up to $10,000 each will be made available to support Community Action Groups. A $5.2 million, two year drug education training program for teachers and the mandatory drug education program for students through the Ministry of Education. School boards will be required to begin drug education, which is already mandatory in Grades 4 to 10, at the primary level. As well, the ministry will work together with other groups in the province to distribute resource material to school boards. Through the Ministry of Labour, $85,500 will be provided to support the formation of an advisory group to examine existing employee assistance programs and identify creative ways to fill the gaps, particularly those dealing with drug abuse. $5.6 million will be provided over a two year period through the Ministry of the Solicitor -General, to double the size of the specialized drug enforcement units operated by the Ontario Provincial Police.
