Yes it's true; it is exam week at Pickering High School. Ex- aminations started Jan. 22 and riot until Jan. 26. But don't come to school for the 29, 30 and 31 becatse those are credit completion days, or should I say, a meat period after those ex- bausting exams, Next week Boxer Shorts with PHS logos on them will be going on sale in the cafeteria corridor as well as rugby sweaters for the rugby team trip to Scotland. Don't miss them. The senior drama stixkm,t were a hit last week and the actors receiv- ed their first fan mail. The mail came from Lincoln Ave. P.S. after our students performed some children's stories such as "Ibe little Turnip', 'Pigs' and 'Tbe Paper Bag Princess' for them. The narrator was Kerry Ann Grant and a favourite of the audience was Stephen Burke. I give it a two thumbs up. Out- athletes are still ac- tive despite the exam load. The junior girls' volleyball team was in a tournament last weekend in Centre Hastings and received a se- cond place standing. losing in the end to Centre Hastings 13-9. Jenny Hunt proved her value to the team when she served practically a whole game by herself. The midget girls' also came second in a tourna- ment hosted by your very own PHS, but were defeated by Unionville in the end. Next time, girls' The midget and the junior boys' basketball team beat Uxbridge last week, the juniors with a score of 65-62 and the midgets with an over- whelming score of 82-22. 1 hope we will be seeing many more scores like that. Outstanding midget players were Rodcliff Chung, Kevin Ford and Junior Coverbadge. 30t per copy Published by Watson Publishing Company Ltd.

Jan. 24, 1990 PICKERING Apost Serving the Community for 25 Years! Discuss Landfill Site An Open How for an in- formation exchange ses- sion will take place on Thurs. Jan. 25th from 4:30 to 9:30 p. in. at the Kahn Auction Barn on Brock Rd., Pickering, three miles north of Hwy. 401, to discuss the Region of Durham's contingency landfill site. There will be displays on waste reduction and recycling initiatives, on site assessment procedures and an opportunity to talk to the technical con- sultants. Durham's contingency landfill site is part of the Greater Toronto Area's GTA) proposal to develop a long-term waste manage- ment system as early as 1992 but no later than 1996. The GTA is comprised of the five regional Feel, Yot'k�Dxrfiamand Metropolitan Toronto. Together, the regional municipalities are looking at ways of diverting from landfill and incineration 25% of solid waste by 1992 and 50% by the year 2000 through reduction, reuse and recycling. In the event that the new long-term waste manage- ment system IS not ready by 1992, the GTA has pro- posed a contingency plan that will identify landfill sites for short-term use bet- ween 1992 and the start-up of the new system. Durham has nominated what is known as the Durham Contingency Landfill Site to be owned and operated by Durham for use by Durham and Metro from 1992 to 1986.

Jan. 24, 1990 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Let's Demonstrate! by Bob Watson There seems to be no listening at Ottawa to the massive voice of Canadians who are against the proposed GST (Goods and Services Tax). It will be the most inefficient collection of taxes in our history, especially when each little newspaper, squirt of electricity or purchase of a postage stamp will require mobs of paper work by small business - and thousands more civil servants at the Ottawa end! Perhaps the arrogant, deaf politicians at Ottawa might listen if 10.000 cars full of people invaded the capital city and plugged up the streets around the Parliament Buildings so the non -listening politicians could get the message about the GST. We need demonstrations apparently - and if the Hungarians can do it why can't we? Lets demonstrate - and let's get rid of the Mulroney government! Male Preserves Crumble by Tom Mitchell And what do you want to be when you grow up, little girl? When that question was asked 25 years ago. most of the replies probably would have been encompassed by the following: housewife, nurse, teacher, sales clerk or secretary or other office worker. Ask the same question to- day and the responses could include lawyer or lumberjack. doctor or detective. physicist or pilot. And probably housewife and mother, along with the career. More than half of Canadian women 15 years and over are in the labour force. As they have expanded their participa- tion in the work force. women have also been breaking down the barriers that starautded the traditionally "male.. occupations. A special Statistics Canada study looked at "professional occupations" requiring a bachelor degree or above, con- sidered oo-sidered as well paid and with a high level of social status - and the changes in mak-female employment in than. Maks dominated overwhelmingly (899 male to 11% female) in 34 of the 46 specific occupations in 1971 at the start of the study period. By 1981, the proportion of females m the 34 categories had grown to almost 19% and it was 23% by 1986. Some specific examples: lawyers, from about 5% female in 1971 to 22% by 1986: physicians. from less than 11% m 1971 to more than 2196 in 1986: pharmacists. from 25% in 1971 to just over 50% in 1986. The study gave a strong ux ication that the old barriers have been knocked down for good. Women in the 15-24 age grog, who could act as trailbianers for today's youngsters, led the assault on the "male" occupations. They accounted for a full 60% of the increase in female representation in the 34 male -dominated professions from 1971 to 1961. The professions studied are demanding, requiring achievement of certain education levels, a strong commit- ment to the work force and a work environment that draws heavily am the energy and time of those who choose them. For women with a life career path that may include mar- riage and childbearing. these burdens are multiplied. Among worsen over 25 in husband -wife families and in the male -dominated professions, just over 40% had no children at home in 1981. This compared to only 31% of similar women in the non-professional work force. A full 22% of females 45 and over in the male -dominated profes- sions had never married. This compared to Im than 8% of never -married females of similar age in nor -professional occupations. And all married females in the male - dominated professions tended to have a higher age at first marriage than worsen oultside these occupations. While the trend in the studied professions was clearly toward more equal male-female representation. one factor continued to show a major difference. Males in these pro- fessions "consistently made more than females in the same occupational group and the same age range." the study reported. The average annual income for females in these professions was just over 70% of the average for males in the same category in both 1961 and 1996. But there was some evidence that this, too, was changing. By 1981, women in the 25 to 34 age bracket, which would include those who had recently moved into the male - dominated fields and whose salaries would set standards for the years to follow, earned 77% of the income of males in the same occupation. And by 1985, they had bumped this average up to 81%. nest Published every Wednesday by Watson Publishing Company Limited, Est. 1950 Postal Address: Box 111, Agincourt, OM.

STATFACTS Think the retirement cenftvs of Yctoria or Vancouver would be near the top in the percentage of people 65 and over. The highest concentrations of 65-pius population were in northern Manitoba I north of Riding Mountain National Park) and east -central Saskatchewan ( including Yorkton ), both at 23.3% of the area population The Calgary economic region had the highest proportion of husband -wife families where both were in the labour force (more than 0%) . The lowest proportion (40%, was in the Saguenay -lac St. Jean area of central Quebec. The highest average household income ($42,884) was in the Toronto area ( including the regional mu nicipahties of Durham, York, Toronto. Peel and Halton). The Calgary region was second ($40,588). Regions with the lowest average household incomes were on each side of the Manitoba -Saskatchewan border, the Manitoba area cen- tred at Dauphin ($71.4441 and the Saskatchewan area cen- tred on Yorkton ( $24.507 ) . Only in 15 of the 71 economic areas did household incomes exceed the national average of $34.315. Canada's disabled population has many special needs and also encounters many difficulties. The following facts about Canada's disabled population are from the Health and Activity Limitation Survey conducted by Statistics Canada. It is a nationwide survey of approximately 120,000 disabled meet, women and children which was conducted in households in the fall of 1986 and in institutions in the spring of 1967. Over 3,300,000 Canadians, just over 13% of the population, reported some level of disability.

Mainstream Canada Mike the knife By Terry O'Shaughnessy The federal government's proposed Goods and Services Tax—recently slashed to 7 per cent by federal Finance :Minister Michael Wilson—will certainly provide different headaches for different people. From a small business point -of -view, the pain -keel reaches migraine proportions at the prospect of a federal tax plan which will force them to shoulder much higher admin- istration costs simply in order to cope with the many com- pleyities of the GST. In 1989, the Canadian Federation of Independent Business conducted a survey of 3,725 of its retail members on provincial sales tax col- lection. And the results. compiled in a study entitled "Retail Saks Tax Compliance Costs in Canada", provide further insight as to how the GST will worsen an al- ready serious tax collection burden. The study found, for ex- ample, that "in most small or young firms the owner of the business is responsible for the retail sales tax work and does it either manually or with a cash register" as op- posed to larger firms which can justify the use of sophis- ticated computerized cash reg- ister systems. CFIB concludes, therefore, that the GST hit of Jan. 1, 1991 (the proposed date of implementation) will be much harder once again on smaller firms than on larger companies. The survey results also showed that while sales tax colkction is one of a number of routine administrative tasks for larger retailers, it is an enormous headache for smaller firms. The study says that –proportionally, smaller firms shoulder higher costs for remitting provincial retail sales tax than larger firkins" and points out that the cost of col- lecting one dollar of retail sales tax is 10 cents for these firms as compared to just less than one cent for a larger firm usirhg a computerized system. According to CFIB Presi- dent John Bulloch, the com- plex compliance issue is paramount to the small retail- ing community. "The federal government has taken the original 9 per cent proposed GST rate and repackaged the tax down to 7 per cent," Bulloch says, "but this change does not solve the enormous complexity that will hit all small mailers. "There are still nine differ- ent provincial sales tax systems in addition to the federal sales tar system. There is simply no way that the government can, under the GST, simplify the collection of these different taues. The government must find a way of unifying the fed- eral and provincial sales tax systems to make it more workable". Otherwise, Bulloch adds, it is small business and con- sumers who will suffer.

Scarborough Centre Owario Governmew Fstablisbes Priority Framework to Rdwm Healtt, care system Health Minister Elinor Caplan recently outlined a four - point priority framework upon which decisions on hospital capital planning will be based. It is a thoughtful and far- . course of action shaped by our changing society and the chane ing concepts of health and health care. Supporting the framework is a new approach to hospital planning which includes the participation of district health councils, hospitals and other health care providers throughout Ontario in a planning partnership - "Hospitals remain an essential part of our health care system, but the way in which we look at capital projects has changed," said Mrs. Caplan. "When my ministry now con- siders any hospital planning, we also took at the hospitals' role within the full range of health services provided in a community. " Responding to a recommendation from the Premier's Council on Health Strategy that provincial priorities be established for capital planning. the ministry developed a four -point priority framework which consists of: 1. establishing innovative and alternative directions in ser- vice delivery such as strong regional services which em- phasize day treatment, outpatient and community support terms: 2. improving province wide specialty care program such as cancer, cardiovascular, critical care, emergency ser- vices, maternal and newborn care, dialysis, and AIDS: 3. enabling hospitals to improve the comfort and conve- nience of both patients and staff. while maintaining stan- dards for safety and workplace health: and 4. strengthening hospital services, including additional beds where necessary, to meet future growth and to provide appropriate services to meet the needs of Ontario's aging population. Canada now spends more per capita on health care than any other country in the world with a national health care system. Ontario is one of the highest per capita spenders in Canada. Ontario's health care system is also characterized by one of the highest institutionalization rates in the world. Ontario simply can't afford to rely on its institutions for all aspects of its health care needs - in terms of cost, quali- ty, convenience and geographic location. As well, research has shown that many seniors now living in institutions would be better cared for in the community with ap- propriate support services. The Ontario government has taken action to ensure that the province's health resources are as effective in the 21st century as they have been in this century. The government is committed to equal access, high quali- ty care and fiscal responsibility in the delivery of the pro- vince's health care services. It is developing more com- munity care alternatives and creating tighter links between institutional and community services. Many services tradi- tionally provided in hospitals can now be performed in community-based facilities. As they are developed, ap- propriate funding and standards must be maintained. The government's focus is on people, the services they need and the different ways these services can be provided, whether it's in the hospital, community or at home. Beds will be added to the system, only if they are determined to be the best way to meet a community's needs. "Together with our partners. we want to ensure that the dollars will produce the most positive results in the reshap- ing of our provincial health care system," said Mrs. Caplan. Last November, the government announced that provin- cial support for hospital capital spending will rise 30 per- cent to $250 million in the next fiscal year. vide social and recrea- tional entertainment for seniors through activities such as bridge games, tea socials and inter -club visits and outings.

Jan. 24, 1999 .Bill Watt's Worlds AT THE OPERA: Many operas are titled after their principal characters. When one overhears a remark then that Faust say, or Anna Bolen or Hamlet "wasn't good the other evening", there can be puzzlement over whether the remark refers to the production or the artist performing the role. In the main it's not really all that important because operas are generally struc- tured so that even the failure of a principal does not usually diminish an overall impact. There is one notable exception, however, and that is the UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT VELVET FAMILY RESTAURANT Smakfest Spsc/ab 7 a.m. to 11 a.m. (Mon: Fri.) 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. (Sat. & Sun.) (1.)

The character after whom it is titled is indeed the opera and if she is not effective then neither is the total work. With that as preamble we must state that the Cana- dian Opera Company pro- duction of Carmen, or at least, the one we viewed on opening night is less than completely successful. The fault, if fault is the word we seek, lies with the young lady performing the title role. As charitable as possi- ble and with, one hopes some chivalry it has to be said that she is con- siderably less than believable. Carmen is a fiery temp- tress emptress with few morals but a great zest for life as she perceives it to be led. She is a rogue but a charming, sexy one. Cynthia Clary has not captured, or possibly not been allowed to capture. the personality that captures an audience. Instead of a Mary Magdalene she offers Mary of The Cross; instead of scarlet mood, she offers sullenness; instead of soar ing singing, she delivers a text book version devoid of expression and certainly without the passion demanded. In an effort to suggest that the fault might not be hers. we suggest that she might even have been bet- ter had site been dressed for the role. She is a thin lady and her matchstick shanks pushed into what appear to have been over- sized shoes are quite frank- ly laughable. Could not so- meone have realized that she should have wom sym- metricals? Possibly Miss Clarey was having an off night - performers do have them you know -acrd will be better in future performances but for now, we must regret- tably declare hers to be the most disappointing Carmen we have ever ex- perienced. Regrettably too, our disappointment probably coloured an appreciation of the production as a whole which is not to state that there was is not much of considerable merit. John Dodington has made a welcome return to the company and is a splen- did Zu niga; Kathleen Brett and Gabrielle Prata are ex- citing as Frasquita and Mercedes, no thin shanks here!; Gary Rideout and Christopher Coyes excel as the smugglers. One of the rare moments when the evening comes alive occurs with the sing- ing of the quintet with the smugglers, Carmen, F'ras- qu ita and Mercedes. It is a technical tour de force much to be admired and performed excellently. Barry McCauley did well as Don Jose but one im- agines he had difficulty believing he was supposed to desert family and honour for the Carmen presented to him. That's probably why he seemed wooden. Tom Fox did as well as possible in the role of Escamillo given that he shoorasell didn't look like a torero. That's not necessarily a fault -one at- tends opera primarily to hear superb singing -but couldn't the line of his costumes have been tailored to the vertical rather than the horizontal? Edward VII as a bull fighter doesn't quite make it. One had to feel sympathy for Cynthia Haymon as Micaela. The role calls for a woman pure in heart and without the notable physical attraction of Carmen. Given that Carmen was without any charm, Miss Hamon was forced to play the role as that of a wimp -female version -who is more annoy- ing than compelling. Happily she was able to secure the audience with her wonderfully sweet voice. She is good, very good, and it's just unfor- tunate that circumstances conspired to place her in an unenviable task. The chorus under Ernest Knell was excellent and Aidan tang brought the or- chestra to a level that quite thrilled. What a pity that Carmen didn't. DINNER THEATRE: Opening tomorrow in preview at Stage West Theatre Restaurant is the comedy Double Act. We are told that it cone ns a couple who can't live with each other but who cannot live without each other. It stars George Segal who carries a well deserv- ed reputation as a light comedian and we look for- ward to seeing both Mr. Segal and the play. Must confess. however. a slight disappointment in seeing him in a comedy. Mr. Segal is an actor of considerable substance as witness, his performance in Ship of Fools and it would be pleasurable to see him in a roast beef performance rather than a souffle. Still, one can always con- sole oneself with Stage West's lucullan roast beef from the buffet. SCREEN NEWS: Much is made over the fact that F. Scott Fit- zgerald was reduced in his later years to writing screen plays in Hollywood, most of which were not us- ed in any case. Well. we've just received with thanks the 1990 release schedule from Orion. An early release will be Everybody wins. Brief narrative notes tell us that "a schizophrenic prostitute draws a private detective into a murder case and together they uncover a corrupt small town judicial system and save an inno- cent man's life. " To this movie buff it sounds rather like a dramatic reworking of a Lloyd Nolan comedy of the 40's titled "Buy Me That Town". That's alright; good movies, even B movies can stand a rework - What bothers is that the screenplay is by -are ready for this? -Arthur Miller, the renowned author of such works as All My Sorts, Death of a Salesman and The Misfits. "How are the mighty fallen." ROCK NOTES: Paul James is appearing locally on Jan. 25th but if you can't catch him in per- son you can listen to his Stony Plain debut album Rockin' the Blues produced by Mr. James with Ken Whitely.

Jan. 24, 1990 tr veli 7 Days In The Caribbean by Irene & Bob Watson Recently we took a cruise in the Caribbean with Regent Holidays on the very nice ship the MTS Pegasus. It was quite dif- ferent than our previous six cruises on the Bntanis. Worldways flew us to the Dominican Republic - and the whole plane had passengers for the Pegasus because Regent Holidays has contracted the whole ship for its cruises. It cer- tainly was different to have a ship of Canadians instead of a variety of countries represented, especially the United States. The Pegasus (belonging to the Epirotiki Line) had a mostly Greek crew who were cooperative and friendly. Our cabin steward came in and tidied our room about five times a day Our dining steward wase very nice and each din- ner. lunch and breakfast was enjoyable, although the food was always done in Greek style and didn't offer other styles of cuisine like we used to have on the Britanis. This cruise stopped at a different island each day and ended up at Barbados where we boarded our Worldways flight for Toronto. Our first port of call was San Juan. Puerto Rico where we took the night club tour to the beautiful El San Juan Hotel & Casino to see one solid hour of Flamenco dancing by Silvia Ivar's Spanish Ballet. The dancing was terrific' The next stop was at St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands where four tours ashore were offered, in- cluding an "Atlantis Sub- marine Tour". We didn't take a tour but went ashore to wander around the shops. Then it was off to St. Maarten, that island owned half by the Dutch and half by the French- No obvious border exists and the two areas seem to cooperate easily and have done for 300 years. We took the "Under Two Flags" tour and visited Philipsburg. Capital of Dutch St. Maarten and then went on to have a look at Mangot, capital of French St. Martin. Even though we had been to this island before it had lots to offer a visitor. The next stop was An- tigua, another island we have previously visited. We went ashore for a while to browse among the shops. Two tours were offered at this island. Then it was on to Martini- que where we decided to take one of the three tours offered. Ours was the "St. Pierre Tour" and we For all your trawl r>Nds "We'll show you what Travel Service really means" 284.8300 MORNINGSIDE MALL The mall entrance beside Woolco, Upper Level OPEN W30 a.m -8:30 p m. Mon Fri loam -Sp.m satwogs started at Fort-de-France, capital of the island, and ended up at St. Pierre, site of one of the greatest natural catastrophies of the century. In 1902 this ci- ty of 30,000 people was destroyed by an enormous eruption of the adjacent volcano. There was only one survivor. We had visited this island a couple of times before, but it always seems interesting to us. St. Lucia was the next stop on our island tour on the MTS Pegasus. There were two organized tours and we chose the "Island in the Sun" tour. We passed through the town of Castries, St. Lucia's capital, and stop- ped at Bagshaw's, home to the most famous of island fashions. Lots of banana plantations were seen and a view of Marigot Bay where many small boats drop anchor. Finally our ship dropped anchor at Barbados. There were four tours available but we took the island tour which ended up at the air- port ready for our trip back home. One of the features of our cruise was the terrific group from Regent Holidays led by Cruise Director :Norma Chalmers. Norma and her assistants worked hard to keep Passengers enjoying the cruise. A daily bulletin left in our cabins kept us all in- formed about the entertain- ment each night, the movies being shown and general information - Other activities on the ship included a stretch class, chuneh service on the Sunday, treasure hunt, shuffleboard, game of scrabble, water balloon toss, not so newlywed game (how well do you really know your spouse'), visit to see the navigational bridge, pool games, bingo, euchre tournament, a mos querade night with prises, horseshoe toss, and of course, a small casino available all the time. We were selected to dine at the Captain's table one evening and shared Cap- tain Georgios Logothetis with Patti and Dave Baker of Mississauga. Lynn and Ted Bird of Schomberg and Kim Scott of Mississauga. Patti Baker performed at the show, too, because she is Jannetta on stage' We must mention four Century 21 Real Estate gals from :North Bay who were great fun all week and seemed to really enjoy the trip. The foursome includ- ed Shirlene Condie, Gloria Ion, Jean Molyneaux and Shairon Cadger. Our dining partners at a table for four were Ronald and Majorie Albrecht of Milverton, Ontario. Another foursome of women from Pickering and West Hill included Carol Hughes, Jean Boutet, Vera MacRae and Lillian Parlette. Agincourt resident Mike Trenton seemed to enjoy his week aboard and One of the nice features of a cruise is the sitting; around the deer: jn a comfortable chair en- jo-Ong the sun.

We've all heard of them, most of us have one, but do we really understand all of the ramification? According to Information Officers answering en- quiries made to the toll- free information line operated by the Canada Deposit Insurance Cor- poration (CDIC) , there is still much confusion about registered retirement sav- ings plans (RRSPs). - "Many people assume that because an RRSP is registered with the federal ,government, that the plan is guaranteed by the ;government," says Charles de LAry. CDIC's President and Chief Executive Of- ficer. f- fcer. Another misconcep- tion is that people feel because the trustee of their plan is a CDIC member in- stitution, the plan is automatically insured by ODIC. "The fact that the trustee of an RRSP is a CDIC member institution doesn't necessarily mean that the investments held in the plan are insured. Monies held in registered plans must be invested in deposits that are insurable under the CDIC Act in order to be covered," says de Lfsry. CDIC is a federal crown corporation that was established in 1967 to pro- tect depositors making in- surable deposits with member institutions. Membership is limited to banks trust companies and loan companies. To qualify for CDIC's deposit in- surance coverage, monies held in registered plans must be invested in in- surable deposits. Insurable deposits must be payable in Canada and in Canadian currency, these include investments in savings accounts and term deposits, i.e. invest- ment certificates, guaranteed investment certificates and debentures (other than bank deben- tures). The maximum deposit insurance for deposits held in individual RRSPs is $60,000 per member institution. These are separately insured from any other deposits a Metro Toronto Council City of Scart>torough Scarborough Bluth BRIAN ASHTON - office open 8:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. Mon. to Fri. 390 Bay St., Suite 308.

There are a number of in- vestment options available for registered retirement savings plans and not all of these are CDIC insured. "That doesn't necessarily mean that the investments are at risk. Before making an investment decision, people should be fully familiar with their deposits and/or investments and any insurance coverage that might apply," advises de LAry.

Grant Helps Production Increased production of processed meat products is being made possible with the help of a grant from the Ontario Ministry of Condo Meeting In North York The Ontario New Home Warranty Program (ONHWP) is sponsoring a two-day Condominium Symposium entitled `Building Better Con- dominiums' on Jan. 25 and 26th, at the Novotel Hotel in North York. Participants at the two- day woday event will include builders. vendors, lenders, contractors, property managers, and con- dominium board members. Day one of the sym- posium will focus on ad- ministrative concerns and help participants to ac- quire a comprehensive understanding of the War- ranty Program and War- ranty Program re- quirements. On day two the focus will be technical subjects such as state -orf -the -art parking garage construction and other technologies which bdp produce trouble-free condominiums. Registration fee for the two-day symposium is $120. However, the program is set up for participants to attend either day -one or day -two at $60 per day. Wed. Jan. 24, 1990 THE NEWS/POST Page 11 New Idea In Seniors Housing Metro Toronto Council has launched a housing project for "house rich, cash poor" seniors that it hopes will be the beginning of other developments around Metro. The first condominium in this program is being built on Neilson Rd. right oposite the entrance to the Malvern Town Centre. Under this program seniors would sell their homes - in the range of $225,000 to $250,000 - and buy a one or two bedroom unit for up to $140,000 on land that would remain Metro owned. Michael Feldman, presi- dent of the Metro Toronto Housing Development Corp. said that the excess of $100,000 would give these seniors about S10,000 a year in income and together with their Canada Pension and Old Age Pension would total about $20,000 annual- ly. When residents of this new condonium move out Metro would buy back the units for the original price plus interest on the invest- ment. Metro Councillor Brian Ashton told a press con- ference on Friday that a survey of the 4 mile radius of the four acres lot on Neilson Rd. found a large number of prospective clients. Idea of this project to create good housing for seniors would also free up more affordable housing for young people. The first housing project of this type is scheduled to be completed in early 1992. Metro OKs Durham Landfill Deal In a narrow vote Metro Council has approved of a deal with Durham Regional Council to par- ticipate in the P-1 dump site Pickering. The agreement means that Metro will pay Durham $41 million in ad- vance as well as the disposal cost per ton for each municipal ton dispos- ed in the landfill site. This provides Metro Toronto with a capacity of 4.6 million tons to handle the expected waste from 1990 to 1996. From Durham Region's point of view this agree- ment allows it to continue to put waste in the Brock West landfill site until the new Pi site in northern Pickering is ready and there will be a considerable gain in capital for the region as well. Metro Works Commis- sioner Ferguson told Metro Council that he thought that this was a good deal for Metro. But Pickering Mayor Wayne Arthurs says he is against the landfill site deal because a closer look at figures shows that Durham could lose a lot of money.

Queen's Park Report from Norah Stoner MPP Durham West Highlighting the Last Session - Part 1 "Ontario is a prosperous society. Our Province is a safe, clean and healthy place to live. We must make sure that it remains that way." Speech from The Throne, April 25, 1999 The Third Session of the Thirty -Fourth Parliament came to a close on Dec. 20, 1909. The Liberal Government has con- tinued to chart a carie that secures a better future for the people of Ontario. The Government's priorities, as set out in the April Throne Speech, have been effective in implemen- ting a reform agenda on a number of fronts. Count reform initiatives are ensuring a fairer, more effi- cient and accessible system of justice for all Ontarians. Continued economic growth and development through our commitment to equal opportunity is being ensured by strik- ing down unwarranted barriers and creating and maintain- ing standards of fairness in the labour force. Access to French language services in Ontario government offices located in or serving a designated area of the province has been guaranteed through implementation of the French Language Services Act. Building a better future for our children has remained a broad objective for this government. To this end a new and innovative prevention model will support children at risk. Greater enforcement measures ensure continued high quality licensed child care throughout Ontario. Ensuring accessible postsecondary education remains a high priori- ty. As well, the implementation of sweeping reforms to On- tario's social assistance system is reducing complexity and building greater fairness. Significant strengthening of the community care system will support seniors. disabled per- sons and other vulnerable members of our society. The government is continuing to work toward a greater sense of safety and security in our communities as is critical to our province's future well-being and develop- ment. An anti-drug strategy has been implemented which focuses on prevention and education through community .action and law enforcement.
