Trustees ex- tended their sympathy to the family of Art winter for their recent loss. Firm Contracted The firm of C.N.

The fee will be shared equally between the Durham Board of Education and the Durham Region Roman Catholic Separate School Board. Cbief Negotiator Hired Trustees approved a mo- tion to engage David Brady from the firm Hicks, Morley, Hamilton, Stewart and Storie as the board's Chief Negotiator for the up- coming negotiations with OSSTF, District 17. It was noted that David Brady had been well-received by both the elementary and secondary federations dur- t ucation, the ham, and the Ministry of Natural Resources will sign a five year agreement for the Board's use of the Ux- bridge Junior Ranger Camp facility at Durham Forest, south of Uxbridge. By signing this agree- ment, the Board is making a long-term commitment to use the facility for its Out- door and Environment Education program for Grade 6 students. The program to date has been very popular and has allowed students throughout the Region to take advantage of a variety of seasonal outdoor ac- tivities geared to raising awareness of and concern for our environment and nature. The Board will be respon- sible for all costs related to its program for the period September to May, and the Ministry of Natural Resources will be responsi- ble for its program costs for the period June to August.

More News On Back Page Page 'L TILE: NEWS POST Wed. Feb. 7, 1990 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Reaction! The voting for an English only community at Sault Ste. Marie as well as numerous other communities in Ontario is not a vote against the French language or Quebec It is a vote to protest the constant laying of costs on to local government by the Peterson government. When the government at Queen's Park decided to official- ly place official bilingualism on various sectors of Ontario, it was another unnecessary expenditure of provincial money and it will result in more costs for the local property taxpayer. We believe that French should be available for a Cana- dian who doesn't have adequate English. but in Ontario most francophones know English and this move by Queen's Park is just sheer waste of tax dollars. It is interesting to note that Prime Minister Brian Mulroney and Premier David Peterson both reacted against the move by the Sault Ste. 'Marie council to declare its city "English only". But where were these two leaders when Quebec Premier Bourassa kept the French only sign law- in Quebec. Of course. if we are to give Quebec special privileges under the Meech lake agreement then one must not criticize Quebec' And we thought that General Wolfe defeated lMontcalm on the Plains of Abraham at Quebec City' Our provincial government recently sent our newspaper a press release from Charles Beer. the minister in charge of the bilingualism project. Guess what? The press release was in French only' Local councils are wrestling with another provincial law which is going to cost local property taxpayers a lot of taxes. We refer to the so-called "Pay Equity" law. This idiotic legislation is arbitrarely raising women's pay at all jobs on a weird system supposedly providing equality of pay. Of course, it doesn't really do the job and results in mil!inm of dotlarsz of extra .rots to Inca! aovertment5 Mainstream Canada Polls apart By Terry O'Shaughnessv If the federal government had been expecting the Cana- 4ian public :) tai Ali over itself with glee at the prospect of paying a 7 per cent Goods and Services Tax instead of the originally proposed 9 per cent rate, :t was wrong. .According to the results of a recent poll conducted b% the Angus Reid Group for the Canadian Federation of Independent Business• a large majority of Canadian, are stili opposed to :he GST, de - spit: Finance %1iruster Michael two -percent rate :a,: Dr,cmber.

Feb. 7,19W Bill Watt's Worlds DINNER THEATRE: Double Act is the current pproduction at Stage West TtreatreRestaurant. By all means see it but if you seek a message be advised that one of the lines in it is "Messages are what you get on an answering machine". Be further ad- vised that laughs are what you get in Double Act. laughs and a few vagrant tears. A two character play, it is the story of a couple who can't live without each other. After their divorce they meet accidentally and soon are back together again only to .. well see the play for yourself. If the foregoing has sug- gested that this Barry Creyton play has more than a passing resemblance to Noel Coward's Private Lives, it is so intended. Whereas however, Private lives is brittle and apparently superficial. Double Act is earthy and not without some substance. Where Coward presents two sophisticates who are charming but not truly. likeable, Barry Creyton gives us two people who are indeed likeable but not always charming. One doesn't know why Elyot and Amanda of Private Lives are the way they are; one is given generous hints bow• George and Alex of Double Act have become the people they are. Though popular George Segal is billed as the nominal star, Alexandra O'Karma is substantially more than just a comic foil; she has been given some great zingers herself and delivers them with nicely controlled zest. Mr. Segal is a master at the art of looking bemused while trying, and usually succeeding, to be acerbic. Yet in one brief scene where he bares a painful childhood memory to an unseen psychiatrist his transition from deliberate insouciance to exposed residual guilt brings a lump to the throat. Miss O'Karma is almost painfully thin and by all odds should be pinched and hard. In fact, she is quite one of the sexiest women we've seen in many mon- ths. Those eyes, those soft blue eves and quivering mouth! It's difficult to determine whether or not the George and Alexandra of the play deserve each other but there is no doubt that playgoers deserve to see George Segal and Alexan- dra O'Karma in Double Act. Private Lives it is not; a double hit, double header it most certainly is' ON STAGE: Playwright Michael Flrayn is probably best known to North American UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT VELVET FAMILY RESTAURANT (1) Treat yourself to our superb s Roast Prime Rib of Beef dinner.

After Benefactors, however, he will unques- tionably become known as the long awaited successor to Somerset Maugham not- withstanding that Benefac- tors combines elements of Ayn Rand's The Foun- tainhead and Coward's Design for Living and Private Lives. It is in cur- rent presentation at The Stage Downstairs (26 Berkeley St.) by the Cana- dian Stage Company. It is a serious comedy -no contradiction -about two couples. well. maybe one and a half, and their effect on each others' lives. David and Jane are an upscale man and wife in post war England. He is an idealistic architect work- ing for the local council; she is an anthropologist with some sort of idea that anthropology is a useful social science. Colin and Sheila. their more or less friends, are probably best described as under achievers. He is a half baked intellectual who tries to be sardonic but in fact is essence of twit; she is a mactuavellian mouse who declares a martyrdom of self insufficiency but who in fact is little more than a schemer, deliberate or otherwise. The farmer couple take the latter under their reluc- tant wing and the latter almost destroys them. Heavy stuff? Indeed. There are, however. laughs sprinkled along the way to relieve what could be the tension of sustained character revelation and to remind an audience that while the characters on stage are true to life they are still after all only on stage Thank goodness, The four riles are dif- ficult ones but under the firm guidance of Director Michael Shamata the per- formers rise nobly to the occasion. Torn McCamus is vital and dynamic while living with the fact that he knows he must compromise his ideals of living design to ac- commodate vote catching politicians. His very real sympathy for Colin and Sheila is manifest and one admires him for it while be- ing annoyed at his ap- parent stupidity in not see- ing them for what they are. Nancy Palk as his wife is all no nonsense efficiency, a Margaret Mead with sex appeal. She realizes Colin and Sheila for what they are but is confident in her perceived superiority. Dare one suggest she is a typical anthropolgist? Benedict Campbell in character for the role is all bush league Orson Welles with booming voice and a detached though accurate view of the life around him. One longs to give him a swift kick and an admoni- tion to get on with it rather than commenting upon it. . whatever "it" might be. If one wishes to kick Colin, then one wishes to strangle his wife Sheila as played so masterfully by Seana McKenna. Here is mousiness to perfection; Uriah Heep in grey stock- ings, she doesn't nag; she whines.. about her own un- worthiness while getting others to take care of her. Though the character seeks sympathy it gets understanding; an understanding of what a conniving little bitch she really is. It is a plummy role and Miss McKenna is quite simply superb in it though never superbly sim- ple. Benefactors might or might not be a great or even good play but is a fine character study and this production of it is another feather in the cap of the Canadian Stage Company. SOAP TIME: Anyone out there who knows why soap operas are called that? Not that it matters but it goes back to when they were on after- noon radio and were spon- sored by soap companies that featured such brand names as Chipso. Rinso. Oxydol and Super Suds, the last named incidentally giving rise to the term sudser. Featured performers on Soap Operas have now achieved minor celebrity status and frequently ap- pear locally. Their ap- pearances are usually on weekends and usually in shopping malls. To see them one must mingle cheek by jowl with shop- pers. parka clad in winter and bare spanked in sum- mer. Eugh furgaces' Well, if you want to meet some of your more popular stars in more sophisticated surroundings, we suggest you hie yourself to Massey Hall this Sunday at 2 p.m. for Stars of the Young and the Wrestlers cops' Restless. Appearing will be Jerry. Douglas ( John Abbott) who looks constipated since his face lift. Patty Weaver ( Gina Roma). Lauralee Bell i Cricket) and Peter Bergman ( the new Jack Abbott) . The foursome will recreate some scenes from the show and provide musical entertainment ac- companied by their own travelling band. Our release also states that "audience members may have a chance to meet their favourites in a post - show "touch -line" session." We think that means a receiving line and one supposes that a capaci- ty audience can't all be ac- commodated given the tight schedule of the per- formers. Even so, being entertain- ed by favourites at Massey Hall is much better than subjecting oneself to a weekend crush in any mall. Tickets range in price from $21.50 to $27.50 which seems a bit steep to us but then we've never been able to understand why anyone would pay that kind of a price for a Maple Leaf game. Watch the fur fly over that statement I LUNCH TIME: Roy Thomson Hall has begun a series of Lunch Concerts on Fridays in the lobby. Admission price is $3 and attendees are in- vited to bring their own lunch. There is a cash bar. Canadian artists are featured and this Friday one can enjoy Jeannette Hirasawa, flautist; Amien Shiskakly, clarinetist and Paul Gravette at the piano. Concerts are at 12 noon and are scheduled to nun Ontario Drama Festival The Metro Toronto and District Preliminaries of the Sears Ontario Drama Festival are set to begin on Wed. Feb. 14th and con- clude on Fri. Mar. 9th. Over the course of 18 evenings of theatre, 39 Metro Toronto and district high schools will present a total of 54 productions for adjudicator David Dayler, a Hamilton educator and director. This season. the 44th year of the festival, marks a record number of entries in this event. The following Scar- borough schools will be hosts: Pearson C.I. & Laurier C.I., Wed. Feb. 14; Cedarbrae C.I. & Laurier C.I., Thurs. Feb. 15; Sir Oliver Mowat C.I., Woburn each Friday until Apr. 30th except for Feb. 23rd during the week of the Shell Canada School Concerts. We think it's a grand way to spend one's luncheon while wondering, however, if one will eat in time to the music. Ever try to eat a banana while watching a mixed doubles tennis match? EXTENSION: Scarce had we filed our copy mentioning The Music of Andrew Lloyd Webber for a limited run on Sun- days at The Pantages than we received a further release from the ever busy Live Entertainment Cor- poration advising of an ex- tension to the run. The show will now run through till Mar. 25th. If this keeps up, it'll pro- bably rum as long as The Phantom. Better get your tickets now while you still can. FAST EXIT: Are we wrong or did George Segal appear in the motion picture "Who Is Killing the Great Chefs of Europe". We mention it because if the great chefs of Europe are being killed off one can always find fine North American fare at Stage West. We have men- tioned the roast beef from the buffet many times but are prompted now to declaim about the horse radish one can and should have with it. It is horse radish as it should be prepared. And if it doesn't clear your sinuses, nothing will! You have been advised. C.I. & Midland C.I., Thurs. Feb. 22; Sir John A. Mac- donald C.I. & Agincourt C.I., Sat.

Although the service was in- augurated in 1947, its story wally begins seven years earlier, with the opening of Canada's first blood donor clinic. Established at Toronto's Grace Hospital on Jan. 29, 1940, the first clinic was created by the Red Cross to collect blood for Canadian farces fighting in the Se- cond World War. Until the end of the war in 1945, all Canadian Red Cross clinics collected blood solely for war casualties. In all. more than 2,500,000 bottles of blood were processed to help injured soldiers and civilians overseas. At the end of the war, several hospital associa- tions and provincial health departments asked the Red Cross to continue to pro- vide this blood collection service. At the time, hospitals in Canada coi- Library, 1440 Kingston Rd. at Warden Ave. For further details phone 6963481.

In fact, many hospitals re- quired a patient's friends and family to donate twice the amount of blood ad- ministered to the patient as repayment for blood used. In 1945 the Canadian Red Cross invited Dr. William Stuart Stanbury to conduct a nationwide survey among Canadian hospitals for the purpose of establishing a peacetime blood transfu- sion service. Five years earlier, Dr. Stanbury had organized a transfusion service in England: he soon laid the foundations for a more ambitious Cana- dian achievement, a free blood transfusion service across Canada. (Dr. Stan - bury was appointed Na- tional Commissioner of the Canadian Red Cross in 1949, a position he held until his death in 196:1-1) The Red Cross in- augurated its new service on Jan. 21. 1947 with the Vancouver 'Blood Depot-. The service was extended year by year until national coverage was completed in Quebec City in 1961. The service has continued to grow and now there are 17 blood transfusion centres throughout the country. providing blood and blood products free of charge to patients in more than 900 hospitals. Advances in medicine and medical technology have kept pace with - in- deed often made possible - this growth in service. The method of taking blood im- proved significantly with the use of disposable sterile needles and ever more sophisticated equipment. The product itself has also changed. "Closed system" plastic collection bags, which replaced glass bottles in 1965. have facilitated the production of a number of blood coirn- ponents and products. Because whole blood is now rarely transfused directly, but separated into its various components - for example. platelets and red cells - a single donation can help as many as four pa- tients. More than 20 different components and products are produced from blood to help accident and burn vic- tims, cancer patients, organ transplant recipients and people with hemophilia. among others. Theconstant goal of the BTS is to provide a safe and adequate blood supply for all Canadians. In 1972 the Red Cross began testing all donations for Hepatitis B. In 1985 it implemented AIDS testing at all centres. Health assessment Tues tionnaires. completed by all dons. were introduced to further safeguard the health of both donors and recipients. One thing has not chang- ed in all the thousands of clinics the Red Cross has held over 50 years: the need for volunteer donors. Without the selfless generosity of volunteers, the BTS could not function. Currently. the Red Cross requires 5,000 blood donors a day across Canada if it is to meet the blood and blood product needs of Canadian hospital patients. With no blood substitute on the immediate horizon, with new medical technologies and treatments that require large volumes of blood be- ing developed, and as the population ages and in- creases, the need for donors will likely grow. For the forseeable future, volunteer blood donors will continue to be the backbone of the Canadian Red Cross Blood Transfusion Service. Aprile Lanes Youth League PEEWEE HIGH DOUBLE J. Gorman 2'78, M.

Take, for example, the Gray Lady and the White Lady, who don't have the same recognition factor as Hamlet's father but are real Danish ghosts. not im- ports from England. Moreover, even at their worst (which can be pretty bad in the case of the White Lady) they're decidedly more attractive than any deceased king of Danish fact or English fiction. Both are among the ghostly denizens of Dragsholm Slot (the Dragon's Home). a medieval castle here at Hoerve, west of and, unlike Ham) ather. both are available for guest ap- pearances. although of their own time and choos- ing. You simply book a room at the castle and wait for them to stow up. If you are having a good day it will be the Gray Indy who comes calling, because she's a quiet, plea- sant lass who knows her place and seems more in- terested in the castle's housekeeping problems than in haunting. She's the kind of a spirit who decks that the beats are made and that the waitresses and maids anent stealing. So the most you'll get from her is a pair of downcast eyes and a deferentud bob. The White Lady is something completely dif- ferent, a screaming horror who roams the rooms and corridors in a blood-stained dress calling for vengeance. No downcast eyes or deferential bob here.

The Adelers lived there for 250 years. but in the 1900s the land was dinded and sold to a number of people and the castle itself fell into disuse and disrepair until taken over by a Danish company which, with government support, has restored it again and turned it into a plush and opulent hostelry, a window on to the past. It has 25 high-cedinged guests rooms, all different, in towers, battlements, tur- rets, up stairs and down corridors, tucked away here and sprawled there, all furnished with antiques and all harkening back to other centuries. There are great rooms of state and comfortable nooks, ceremonial cannons that guests are sometimes allowed to fire and a dungeon where poor wret- ches of other centuries shivered away their lives while the bishop and his successors made merry above.

Race Is On ship race, Conservatives from all across Scar- borough enthusiastically welcomed the kickoff as the fust stage of a process leading up to the next pro vincial election - expected in the fall of 1990. Representatives from the six Scarborough ridings. North. East. West. Centre, Agincourt and Ellesmere, have been meeting regularly over he post year to lay the ground- work for the process. This unprecedented com- mitment of co-operation among Scarborough Tories, driven by a desire to elect six Tories in the next election will culminate on Election Day - Sat. May 12, 1990. On this day, voters from all six ridings will vote for the leader of their choice at one conurion voting location - the Scarborough Civic Cen- tre. All Scarborough PC's welcome the leadership race as a way of bringing forth new ideas and policies. Buoyed by there - cent drop in the popularity polls for the Peterson Liberals. this race pro- mises to bring many new and former PC's into the Conservative fold. It is ex- pected that this rejuvena- tion will lead to a PC vic- tory in the next election. Manv issues will arise during this leadership race. One issue Scar- borough Tones hope will be discussed is a common Scarborough issue - the preservation of the Rouge Valley. Both federal and provincial Tones support the complete preservation of the Rouge. Peterson, until now, has not ruled out the building of homes, roads or a dump on the provincially owned land in the Rouge. Scar- borough PC's hope the leadership race will put in- creased pressures on the Premier to snake a definite statement on whether or not he intends to fully preserve the Rouge Valley.

Both ap- pointments were made at a "tcl meeting this week.

The Pickering Recreation Complex will be operating a game arranging service for all racquet sport members. Registration forms are available at the front desk at the Rec Centre. with Rene Soetens, M.P. "That, in the opinion of this House, the government should consider the advisability of entering into negotia- tions with the government of Ontario to establish a wilderness reserve or heritage park to protect the en- vironmental uniqueness and importance of the Rouge River Valley system in Scarborough." With this statement the M.P. for Scarborough Centre, Pauline Browes, led off the motion which calls on the Government of Canada to enter into negotiations with the Government of Ontario to establish a wilderness reserve or heritage park, to protect the Rouge Valley System. Mrs. Browes urged all members of the House of Commons to support this motion, to prove that we are ready to take ac- tion to save the Rouge Valley for generations to come. The history of the Rouge Valley dates back to the ancient Indian tribes that first settled there in 2DOU B.C. The first European settlers explored what was then called the Ket- chie Sepee or great river in 1793. Renamed the Rouge River due to the colour that was added to the water from clay deposits along its shores, the Rouge River Vallev system Queen's Park Report from Norah Stoner MPP Durham West HIGHLIGHTING THE LAST SESSION - PART 3 The Third Session of the Thirty -Fourth Parliament came to a close on December 20. 1989. This is the third installment of our review of the last session and my Government's con- tinued efforts to implement a reform agenda that will secure a better future for all residents of Ontario. SOCIAL ASSISTANCE *Effective October 1. 1969, a new $22 million Supports to Employment Program ( STEP ) intended to remove bar- riers to employment for individuals receiving social assistance. *Benefit increases in the amount of $54 million for families with children. *Significant increases in wages 130% retroactive to September 1. 19691 and a training package for Visiting Homemakers who care primarily for the elderly and physically disabled in the amount of $28.9 million. This in- itiative provides much needed relief to 14,000 Ontario homemakers. *Community service agencies prodding services to per- sons with developmental and physical handicaps and vic- tims of family violence will receive $20 million to increase compensation to their over I0AX)0 employees (retroactive to September 1. 19891. 'This year, the Ministry will provide more than $60 million indirect Operating Grants• which will result in an average X3.000 increase in the annual salaries of child care workers. *Significant commitments were made for the compceten- sive reform of Long Term Care, designed to maintain the independence of Ontario's seniors and people with physical disabilities by supporting their family caregivers and strengthening the ability of communities to plan and manage responsive services. CONSUMER AND COMMERCIAL RELATIONS *There were important improvements to the OMVAP - On- tario Motor Vehicle Arbitration Plan. 'The government has agreed to extend Sunday operating hours for licensed establishments by two hours. All premises currenUy allowed to open on Sundays can take ad- vantage of the longer hours. FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS *In October 1989, the Minister for Financial Institutions in- troduced the Insurance Statute Law Amendment Act 1989, for first reading. On December S. 1989, the Bill passed se- cond reading and has been referred to the Standing Com- mittee on General Government for full public hearings. This legislation will ensure affordable auto insurance rates and a comprehensive accident benefit plan to protect the more than six million Ontario drivers. WOMEN'S ISSUES *As part of Wife Assault Prevention month in November 1989. the Minister highlighted the government's programs for the prevention of wife assault in Ontario. The govern- ment is committed to a long-term wife assault prevention strategy that integrates and co-ordinates assaulted women's needs. Central to the strategy is the transfer of grants to local organizations carrying out commnmity education projects. This concludes the overview of the last session that ran from October 10, 1989 to December 2D, 1989. 1 would like to remind my constituents that if you have any questions or concerns please don't hesitate to contact my office at 2 Randall Drive in Pickering Village, Ajax or call us at 6K -iW. Don't forget to tune in and watch the Stoner Report on Cable 10 (Ajax) Thursdays at 8 p.m., Saturdays at 11:30 p.m. and Sundays at 9 a.m. stands today as 10,000 acres of wilderness reserve in the midst of the largest city in Canada, metropolitan Toronto. The Range Valley represents a most unique resource for a metropolitan area: an urban wilderness. The valley con- tains over 70 different native tree species, 400 different kinds of flora and three areas of Carolinian forest designated by the World Wildlife Fund of Canada as critically unprotected. Inhabitants of the valley include deer, bald eagles, foxes, coyotes and 16 other kinds of mam- mals. All of this is a mere car ride away for the residents of Ontario Riding. To lose this "oasis" would be an outrage. I fully support Mrs. Browes' motion to save the Rouge and it was indeed a pleasure to see the motion get the sup- port of the House it so richly deserved. The fate of the valley now rests with the Ontario Government and Premier David Peterson. It is time that the provincial government of On- tario understood the importance of preserving the Rouge. On January 23rd, representatives of Du Pont Canada Inc. appeared before the House of Commons Standing Commit- tee on Environment. Du Pont has committed itself to the en- vironment and adopted a practice which it refers to as "Corporate Environmentalism". For many years, Du Pont has been recognized as an environmental leader in the in- dustrial world and has demanded that it perform at levels above legal requirements. The minimization of risk through regular assessments, public participation, reduction of the generation of hazar- dous by-products and major recycling initiatives are just some of the actions that Du Pont mentioned before the Com- mittee. Du Pont has also led the way in committing itself to a complete phase-out of fully halogenated CFC's in advance of the date in the Montreal Accord. To substantiate their words, Du Pont will invest over one $1 billion to research, develop and commercialize alternative, environmentally - safe products. It has long been a belief of mine that industry and the environment are not natural enemies. Du Pont has strengthened this belief.
