Notes
by Stacey Ferris
Happy New Year' and I
hope you had a Merry
Christmas too. 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.
Credits go to Sara Rogers
for excellent power hitting.

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.

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.

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.
Yours truly,
Gordon J. Chong D.D.S.

1999 '.Market More Moderate
The average price of a resale bonne in Metro Toronto rose
to almost (274.000 in 1989, Michael Rosen, President of the
Toronto Real Estate Board says.
..We began the year with an average price of $254,575 and
ended with an average of x273,529 in December," said the
president. "While that's a healthy 12 -month rise, it was less
dramatic than the increases experienced in either 1988 or
1987. For homebuyers, these figures may offer some sense
of relief."
STATFACTS
The area with the highest proportion of persons age 15-M
participating in the labour force ( almost 7590 was in the
southern Ontario region of Oxford, Elgin and Middlesex
counties, around London. In general. the percentage of
workers 15-24 participating in the labour force was higher
from the Quebec -Ontario border west than it was in eastern
Canada.
Are westerners more independent and self-reliant? The
top 10 regions in the country when it came to proportions of
self-employed workers were in the four western provinces,
reflecting the area's heavy concentration on agriculture.
Ottawa -Carleton and surrounding counties had the
highest proportion of the population 15 and over with a
university degree (15.5%) The south coast of New-
foundland, from the Avalon Peninsula to Port aux-Basques,
had the lowest (V%).

easily understand our en-
thusiasm over the prospect
of viewing Breaking the
Code at the Blum Appel
Theatre.
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. (The late
William Powell of screen
legend served the same
purpose re World War I in
an M.G.M. fair meller of
now forgotten title.
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

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-

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.

BECAUSE 5-7pm is the hydro rush hour
That's when stores, offices and factories are open, street lights are on, house lights and
furnaces are glowing and we're all using electricity.
BECAUSE supper time power is more expensive
North York Hydro's bill for the power we buy from Ontario Hydro is based on the maxi-
mum demand for power each month. Lowering demand during the Hydro Rush Hour
reduces our power costs.
BECAUSE we all save
Lower wholesale power costs mean better rates for North York Hydro customers.
AND it's easy!
On winter weekday evenings from 5-7pm, here's all you have to do:
✓ load the dishwasher but wait until after 7pm to turn it on
✓ turn on the TV only when you're ready to watch it
✓ switch off the lights in empty rooms
✓ use the clothes washer, dryer and other large appliances at other times of the day or
on weekends
✓ whenever possible, Save It Til Seven!

Women's
Institute
by Evelyn Dempsey
Members and friends of
the institute met at the
Scarborough Golf Club,
Dec. 12th for a delicious
Christmas buffet luncheon.
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

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

ecause of heavy de-

its dedicated dive centre
from Turquoise ( Turks and

Originally designed for
the certified diver who
wanted an intensive dive
experience -along with all
the Club Med extras -the
dedicated diving centre
program has proven to be
just as successful with
beginning dives who want
to acquire NAL'I or PADI
certification -but not in an
enclosed pool back home.
The two new dedicated
dive centres will offer the
same program already in
place -
Certified divers will have
two deep dives each morn-

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.

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

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.

ed that participation by the

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.
