January seems like such a long month. with decorations being put away. returning to school and work. and of course the Christmas bills reining back to haunt you. that is the reason the Tro- jans of 1990 would like to give you an outline of our plans for the year. There are so many things to loon forward to. The first is getting into the Valentine sent with events like a special Valentine's dance. a heart contest and Valentine -O -Grams for that secret someone. A third and final airband will return for March as well as some PHS boxer shorts that will go at sale. Slave Day is in the making and although a date has not been set, it sounds exciting. It's our opportunity to buy teachers and various SAC members as slaves to raise money for the school. In April a Fashion Show will corse our way, involving students as models. This will also be a fundraiser. For May it will be M- M- Moga Madness meaning a large ( actually the whole school) group activity. I remember one year a large number of students got in a huge circle and passed a peanut through straws. Also in May is the fabulous formal which I will be at- tending for the first time, and I can't wait. In June a traditional end- of-tbe-year dance will take place. Then it's summer' See I bet the winter months look shorter than ever now. As for sports, the Senior Boys' basketball team just attended a special tourna- ment in Arizona, U.S.A. To top it off they won three out of four games. The Junior Girls' volleyball team par- ticipated in a tournament at Scarborough College over the holidays and won the consolation finals.

Oshawa Valleylands New Area Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority's most recently acquired conservation area. Oshawa Valleylands Conservation Area, was started in 1964 with the purchase of 135 acres (SCS hectares) of valley land along the Oshawa Creek in the City of Oshawa. This included a portion of the former Robson -Lang Leather Tannery property and valleylands running from Simcoe Street in the south to Erie Street in the north. In acquiring this proper- ty, the Authority not only preserved substantial valley land for public use, but also obtained an office building to which Authority headquarters was transfer- red in 1964. The majority of the valleylands is now under agreement with the City of Oshawa Parks and Recrea- tion division, who are in the process of completing an extension to the Oshawa Creek trail on this proper- ty. Tine trail will eventually link city hall to Lakeview Park. This site, as well as hav- ing natural beauty, offers good angling opportunities (in season), and as an add- ed facility CLOCA now pro- vides an educational meeting room for various purposes. It is used as a staff classroom and can be rented for public use. Page 2 THE NEWS POST Wed. Jan. 17, 1990 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Taxes Everywhere by Bob Watson The year 1990 will be remembered, we feel sure, as the year of the taxes! Of course, the deadly, inefficient and ex- pensive GST won't start until 1991. Postage is up a cent on first class mail thanks to the now profitable Canada Post Corporation. Ontario Health premiums are now being borne by every business, large or small, instead of individuals paying $174 per quarter - which was only one third of the health costs in Ontario. Gasoline taxes went up two cents thanks to both the federal and provincial governments. And the new large commer- cial land tax placed by the Ontario government has forced parking at Toronto's City Hall from $10 a day to roughly $18 a day. The Ontario government is dreaming up more kinds of taxes that citizens don't pay directly. However, the same citizens will feel the effects of these taxes in an increased cost of buying products and services. Then there is the fact that it is cheaper to live in Buffalo and much cheaper for a company to go there and operate. With free trade the products can be shipped back to expen- sive living Metro Toronto and Canadians lose some more jobs. This country, the people and the governments, will have to face a lot of hard facts about competing in the world of the 1990's. It isn't going to be easy. But it would be easier if that national spirit called "Canadianism" could be en- couraged just like support for a hockey team! Teachers' Pensions Dear Editor Re "Teachers are Furious" in your issue of Dec. 20!89 It is ironic that countries %p have up till now maligned as despotic are now clanging and requesting democracy through democracy a greater participation in the various aspects of their lives. Here in the West Canadians for the longest time pro- claimed and proudly boasted of our democracy. In this case of the teacher's pensions and numerous other situations our Provincial Government of David Peterson is showing the audacity to exclude teachers' organization in the participa- tion and administration jointly or otherwise of their own pension fonds overriding even the jurisdiction of our local school boards. Yours truly 'dike Boh~:Ivn 35 Wanden ng Trail Scarborough Novels Support Patriarchal Roles Outdated and harmful ideas are reinforced in contem- porary, popular fiction for women, says a University of Toronto English professor. In a 60 -page essay called "Male Mentorship and Female Resistance in the Realist Novel," professor 'Mary Nyquist claims that Harlequin Romance novels portray the notion that men have exclusive access to wisdom and power, and that women can only gain these qualities through men. By studying the works of Jane Austen, George Elliot. Edith Wharton, and other realist fiction %Titers, Nyquist also discovered that female characters were expected to be rescued, physically or morally, by men. "In Jane Austen for example, the mentor and the heroine always marry. reducing the dynamics of the mentor rela- tionship to a power erotic theme," said Nyquist. Even modern Harlequin Romances which portray women in demanding careers. characterize them as being dazzled by the erotic power of men. Rescue, protection and education are still the prerogative of the male mentor, she said. Nyquist is concerned that the works of romance and realist fiction writers reflect the fantasies of women in modern society. Previous studies have shown that millions of women in Western countries and an increasing number in 'Third World countries read Harlequin Romances, she said. While realist fiction is considered to be more "high brow" than popular fiction. Nyquist plans to further study the themes that are common to the two literary forms.

Applauds June Dear Sir I applaud and endorse June Rowlands initiative with respect to having a uniformed presence on our subway system. While this will be a deterrent for some, citizens and transit riders must also take a more active role in reporting crime - not necessarily physically intervening where inap- propriate! Riders must be willing to offer descriptions and co- operate in investigations. Society has become too big and complex to leave it to the "authorities" to deal with the multitude of problems confronting it. We cannot simply look the other way and not get involved. This also applies to the actions of ITC drivers and police officers themselves. If we witness egregiously poor or nude service, we should report it, noting time, place and car number' ( preferably with another witness). By the same token, if we witness ex- emplary service we should report it as well. We must have active citizen participation to regain a measure of control over the services we fund.

There was a time -yes, there really was a time - seeming many moons ago when television and motion pictures did not exit. Yes, and again yes! -, no boob tube, no moom pits has (the latter term borrowed from the ancient civilization - more or less -of Green- pointlGreenpernt). What then, you ask. did people do in those long ago days who wished entertain- ment but eschewed books, ballet or opera? Why, best beloved, they attended legitimate theatre -which, thank Thespis, still exists - there to be regaled by plays that primarily entertained and sometimes enlighten- ed. Be reminded that even the plays of Shakespeare though masterful in human insight, were mostly nar- rative entertainments in the manner borrowed by early motion pictures.

Starring Tom Wood, the man who wrote and ap- peared centrally in B -Movie, The Play, it pro- mised to be the story of the man who broke the Enigma code of World War II thereby contributing im- measurably to the winning of the war by the right and proper side.

ON STAGE: Breaking the Code is an excellent play well per- formed and even though our expectations as manifest in the "overture" were not met, they were replaced and well exceeded by the experience of what we believe and consider to be one of the finest plays we have ever seen. You see, Breaking the Code is not a narrative thriller per se. It is a study and examination of Alan Turing who broke the code literally and metaphorical- ly. A summering and somewhat eccentric in manner genius. be was also a homosexual ( breaking the code) and his confes- sion of same followed by trial as a criminal con- tributed to his early death supposedly by suicide. (Stephen Ward anyone') To say more would be to deny readers the oppor- tunity to experience for themselves the wonderful- ly insightful diakogue of playwright Hugh Whitemore, an excellent cast and a bravura perfor- mance by Tom Wood that must surely be deserving of I? ara. hell. if he'd been one to play the role on Broadway he'd surely have capped a Tout'! On stage in virtually all of the scenes Mr. Wood plays Alan Turing in the stages of his life from adolescence through mid- dle age. He does so with no changes of make up and with costume changes dic- tated only by change of scene. Technically it's a superb exercise, so good in fact that one is in danger of los- ing sight of the excellence of characterization. Turing was a genius but not of the moody taciturn type. As played by Mr- Wood, he had a zest for science and life itself (suicide? really?) and railed against rather than despaired over the constraints of conventional 9 PIECES OF FRIED CHICKEN Family size fresh cut fries Family size homemade salad b gravy 15 PIECES OF FRIED CHICKEN Family size fresh cut fries Family size homemade salad a gravy 20 PIECES OF FRIED CHICKEN Family size fresh cut fries Family size homemade salad b gravy 282-2144 society. Yet, throughout, he was gentle and kind. Mr. Wood never loses his character and most cer- tainly never loses his au- dience. We salute him. In a supporting cast of uniform excellence one should not single out in- dividuals but cannot resist doing so in the case of Donald Davis as Tuning's wartime mentor manqufs. Though aging, in poor health and not really too bright he is a fundamental- ly decent man who tries to have Turing conform or if not conform at least be discreet. One sympathizes with the character rather than laugh at it and it takes an actor of Mr. Davis' skill to bring off the role for its maximum value. Victor Erdmanis is effec- tive as a decent but dull policeman merely doing his job. Christopher Mor - cam is all apple cheeked boyhood as Turing's childhood friend and pro- bable first love. Elizabeth Shepherd is charming as his mother who loved her son but probably didn't understand him Certainly she was unaware -wilfully perhaps - of his homosexuality. Lance McDayter is suitably slimy as a boy pro- stitute and chid. Derek KeurVorst could hardly be better as a seeming silly ass security official and Charles Kassatly as a young Greek who shares Turing's bed is all Helkmc ice. The direction of Bob Baker is unobtrusive as it should be, the costumes of Leslie Frankish are authentic and the set, props and lighting of Stancil Campbell, quite ingenius- One suggests that mood music isn't really needed but that provided by Laura Burton is most decidely not unpleasant. Breaking the Code could and should be a play for the ages. No doubt it would be a pleasure to read but is tri- ple the pleasure to see, at least in such a production as this. CURTAIN CALL: No we didn't forget the enchanting and charming young lady who played the role of Pat Green who loved Turing though aware of his sexual persuasion. We merely wanted to make a special mention of Barbara Worthy. She is certainly worthy of it. Pun intended. MOZARTIANA: 1991 marks the 200th an- niversary of the death of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. At a media con- ference held recently in Roy Thomson Hall it was announced that from May 25th, 1991 to July 13th, 1991. Toronto will join with St. John's, Newfoundland and Joliette, Quebec in a festival to be called The Glory of Mozart. Personally we've always felt that observing so- meone's death with a festival smacks of Ding, Dong, the Witch is Dead but in truth, virtually any reason to revel in the music of the master "a miracle of nature" -should be accep- table. We will be passing along much information between then and now and for the present will merely men- tion that all of Toronto's major musical forces will participate including the Musical Mondays Musical Mondays family famed by theatre Smitb- series presents excerpts Gilmore. from Dennis Lee's The program will also hilarious poetry "Garbage feature the Canadian Sax - Delight" on Mon.

"A Vision of Canada: Favourites From the Col- lection Selected by the Founders Robert and Signe Baby Gates Banned Acting Federal Con- sumer and Corporate Af- fairs Minister Harvie An- dre announced the coming into force of new regula- tions under the Hazardous Products Act to prohibit the sale of certain accordion -style baby gates. The banned gates, made of wood or hard plastic, have diamond-shaped openings large enough to entrap the head and neck of a child thereby risking suf- focation. More adventurous children may slip while climbing such a gate and hang themselves on one of the V-shaped openings on the upper edge of the gate. Two children have died in Canada as a result of this type of accident. When purchasing a gate, consigners should look for a straight -top or small -V edge and either closely - spaced bars or small - meshed screen. They should be particularly cautious about purchasing or using a secondhand gate. "As with any children's product, though, I think it Is important to remember that safety depends on adult supervision as well as product design, " Mr. An- dre said.

The second exhibition is entitled "From Tapawingo to Public 'treasure", (Jan. 21st to Apr. 22nd). Using photographs, letters, press clippings and official documents from the McMichael's archives, this exhibit will trace the gallery's growth from a small private collection of Canadian art housed in Mr. and Mrs. McMichael's Kleinburg residence (Tapawingo is an Indian word meaning "place of joy"), to one of Canada's most important public museums. The third anniversary special exhibition entitled "Innuit Art at the McMichael" (Jan. 14th to Apr. 8th), features over 30 Inuit sculptures, prints, drawings and wall hang- ings selected from the gallery's collection to il- hastmte its history of col- lecting InWt art, the rplayed by the role many donors. To pay tribute to the McMichael Collection's founders, the Province of Ontario recently commis- sioned Canadian artist Leo Mol to create a relief sculpture of Robert and Signe McMichael.

During the meal we were favoured with Christmas carols and other favourite songs played by a woman on the violin and a gentleman on the accor- dian. There was an ex- change of gifts with secret pals. Everyone enjoyed Christmas contests prepared by the program committee. Several members delivered poinsettia plants and cheer baskets to many shut-ins and to elderly in nursing homes on Dec. 19th. Five members attended "Christmas at the Lee" at Stony Creek on Dec. 6th. We were privileged to be there when the Lieutenant Governor, Lincoln Alex- ander addressed the group, then shook hands with each one peasant and had a friendly greeting for each. Members met for the first regular meeting of the New Year on Jan. loth. Resident, Mary Miller, welcomed all back and ex- pressed thanks to all who had contributed and assisted in preparing and delivering the Christmas Cheer plants and baskets. The meeting opened with the opening exercises, "The Ode" Mary Stewart Collect and the Lord's Prayer. Many thank you notes from recipients of cheer parcels at Christmas were read. Mary Miller gave a very interesting history of some of the early families of the highland Greek District and of businesses and bwl&W of the late IWW and early 1900s. Maty and Cathy Closson had some of elg P early t didi1w. Buskwss was drseussed and it was announced that on Jan. 29th District An- nual Meetings will be held at Bendale Library, an im- portant date to keep in mind. The entry deadline for the Federated Women of Ontario Centennial Logo Contest is Apr. 1, 1990. Keep thinking'' The roll call was answered by 19 members who had some very beautiful antique jewellery to display. The meeting concluded with the singing of "O Canada" then everyone en- joyed delicious refreshments served by Jeanne Livingstone and Marion Paquette. We are pleased to know that Pat Barratt and Nita Foster are bome from the hospital and improving each day. Mr. Bolton, Min's husband is also recuperating at horse.

A newly designed in- structional program is be- ing introduced by Club Med at The Sandpiper. It was developed as an intensive learning experience for golfers who not only want to play a lot, but who really want to improve their game. The program features four hours of in- structions for six days, in small group classes. Par- ticipants' swings will be video -analyzed. In addition to classes, participants have unlimited use of the Sandpiper's 45 holes of championship golf, with green fees and carts includ- ed. Lockers are available, plus club storage and cleaning. The program kicks off each week at a welcome cocktail party, later in the week there is a special golf dinner for participants. A variety of tournaments, and an awards ceremony caps the week's activities. The cost is $3W U.S. per person.

(416) 291-7733 TIME MAGAZINE 37 Years in Scarborough AWARD WINNER Business Community News Honda Sales Reach Record Levels Sales of Honda Division, including strong -selling Civic and Accord models, set new records in 1989, as Honda Canada Inc. established a new one-year company record for automobile sales in the Canadian market. Sales of Honda automobiles in Canada reached 74,006 units in 1969, an 11.6% increase over the total in the previous 12 month period. The Civic model led the way, with total sales of 37,684 units, a hefty 21.5% increase over the 1968 figure. Accord sales increased by 10.3%, to a total of 32,181 units. These record sales gave Honda Canada the distinc- tion of placing both the Civic and Accord in the top six best-selling automobile nameplates in the Cana- dian market. Civic was third on the best-selling list, while Accord finished sixth. Kadowaki said "the new Honda sales record was the result of several factors, in- cluding the increased supp- ly of Civic Hatchback models from the Honda plant at Alliston, Ont., and the continuing sales strengths of these Canadian - built automobiles, plus the in- troduction during the year of the fourth-generation Honda Accord models. He said the Honda of Canada Mfg., Inc. plant at Alliston. Ont. produced over 80,000 Civics in 1989, and confirmed an earlier announcement from Tadashi Kume, president of Honda Motor Co. Ltd. of Japan, that the production capacity of the Canadian manufacturing facility will be increased to 1.00,000 units in 1990. Acura Sales Up 19.6% Sales of its Acura Divi- sion increased by nearly 20% in 1989 as Honda Canada Inc. established a new one-year company record for automobile sales in Canada. Strong consumer de- mand for the all new 1990 Acura Integra models, which were introduced in May of 1989, raised sales of the three-yearold Acura Division to a record 10,422 units, compared to 8,711 in the previous calendar year. Sales of the second - generation Acura Integra models increased to 7,766 units, a 41.1% jump from the 1988 total.

Wed, Jan. 17, 1WHI THE NEWS POST Page 11 Tougher To Get Real Estate Licence It is now tougher to get a real estate license with new educational requirements taking effect in January, 1990. An improved educational program, "Real Estate as a Professional Career," has been developed by the Ontario Real Estate Association for the Ontario Government. The associa- tion has been designated by the government to provide real estate licensing courses in the province and has done so since 1972. Under the new program, three courses will be re- quired to obtain a licence to sell real estate: Phase one will be a two-month cor- respondence course: Phases two and three will be a classroom sessions totalling 150 hours. At the end of each phase, students will be required to pass an examination before proceeding to the next phase. After being licens- ed, real estate sales people must complete three addi- Metro Toronto Board of Trade Executive Summary POLICA' IN ACTION Proposed Commercial Con- centration and Employer Health Taxes A delegation of the board headed by Ted Hall. member of Council, ap- peared before the Ontario Legislature's Standing Committee on Finance and Economic Affairs to pre- sent the board's views on Bill 46: An Act to Establish a Commercial Concentra- tion Tax, Bill 4:: An Act to Impose a Tax on Employers for the Purpose of Providing for Health Care, and the Health In- surance Act's re- quirements respecting the payment of premiums. The board's represen- tatives pointed out that these proposed taxes would result in businesses pulling out of Ontario because of the increased cost of doing business in this province. The board is concerned that the commercial con- centation tax is neither an equitable nor a responsible tax. Another concern is that the employer health tax will have negative con- sequences for the com- petitiveness of the tax en- vironment for Ontario firms. With the transfer of OHIP payments from the individual to business, the board urges the Govern- ment to take measures to inform taxpayers of the true cost of health care. This awareness will mitigate against overuse of the system. Buttonville Airport Responding to the board's recent submission (Comments Supporting the Retention of Buttonville Airport), Federal Transport Minister Benoit Bouchard advised "other airports in the I Toronto I region will be developed to respond to immediate de- mand and ultimately to fulfil their roles within the area airports system . .". The board calls for the retention of Buttonville Airport as an important component of the Toronto area airport system. Teacher Education Responding to the board's recent submission (Response to the Final Report of the Teacher Education Review Steering Committee). Education Minister Sean Conway stated, "I was pleased to note that the board sup- ports the majority of the recommenda t i ons and I ap- preciated the specific com- ments prodded for each area covered in the report". The board sup- ports the establishment of a new Ontario Council for Teacher Education. Health Care Issues On Oct 24, 1989, the board hosted a private din- ner meeting between members of its Health Ser- vices Committee and The Hon. Elinor Caplan, On- tano Minister of Health. Various issues raised in the board's recent submission Health Care Issues, Oc- tober 19, 1989). including hospital funding systems. physician payment methods, and commuruty services development op- portunities, were informal- ly discussed. Ms. Caplan emphasized the importance of improv- ing management and ac- countability as a strategy to reduce Ontano's health care costs, along with greater emphasis on com- munity participation, out- patient care and alter- native payment methods for physicians. She re- jected the concept of user fees, arguing that these would not deter inap- propriate use of the health care system. Premier's Council on Health Strategy In a Nov. 1. 19W letter responding to the board's recent submission t Health Care Issues, October 19, 1989, the chairman of the Premier's Council's Health System, Committee, Rov Aitken, requested an op- portunity to meet with the board to discuss areas of common concern regar- ding the provision of high- quality and affordable health care in Ontanu.

SPEAKERS NEEDED Volunteer speakers are needed for the Canadian Mental Health Association, Durham Branch, to speak on a variety with Rene Soetens, M.P. The current laws governing young offenders are in dire need of change. Extreme differences in current sentencing provisions leave the courts with no middle ground when fac- ed with an application to transfer a youth to adult court. The choice is either the maximum sentence of three years if the youth remains in the youth court system, or if the youth is transferred to adult court, the mandatory minimum sentence of life imprisonment with no parole for 25 years for first degree murder or a minimum of ten years for se- cond degree murder. On December 20th 1969, the Honourable Doug Lewis, Minister of Justice introduced a number of amendments to the Young Offenders Act and the Criminal Code. The new legislation reflects extensive consultation with ten pro- vinces and territories, individuals and organizations and is an ongoing effort by the federal government to review legislation affecting young offenders. The proposed ametd- ments. will strengthen the justice system by allowing the courts greater flexibility in sentencing youth who murder. Increased penalties in youth court are proposed for youths convicted of murder. The current maximum sentence of three years is extended to a maximum of five years. This extended sentence is intended to provide a period of tight control and supervision for a youth following the custodial portion of the sentence. Where the court decides that a youth's release into the community under supervision would seriously endanger the public, the youth will be retained in custody. Additional- ly. any youth who is under supervision in the commuruty and who violates a condition could be returned promptly to custody. Life imprisonment is retained for young offenders who are transferred to and convicted of murder in adult court. The bill amends the Criminal Code so that a young offender convicted in adult court could be eligible for parole after serving between five and ten years. The length of time would be set by the judge and parole, when appropriate. would be authorized by the National Parole Board. This amendment makes the consequences of transfer less stark and therefore provides greater floubili- ty for the court to transfer in appropriate cases. 1 believe that these proposed amendments will improve our justice system in three major ways. The justice system will be strengthened by allowing the courts to make the best decision in each case as to whether a youth should be dealt with in the youth or the adult system. Public safety will become par"wunt by allmvinng for greater protectionof the public from dangerousyoung offenders by increasing the period of control and supervision. Finally, the amend- ments will uphold the principle of rehabilitation for young offenders wherever possible. The current system is ailing and in need of chainge. These amendments reflect that need. .....:...........•:ti•:.......::ti•:ti:h.:..: f.:...................... of pertinent topics.
