Page 2 THE'N'EWS POST Wed. Mar. 14, 1990 Opinion a page for expression for you and us The Answer To The GST Finance Minister Michael Wilson claims that there is no alternative to the 7% GST (Goods and Services Tax) which he has concocted for all Canadians to pay because he is eliminating the 13.5% Federal Sales Tax now on manufac- tured products. Of course. most of us have figured out that Mr. Wilson gets his ideas of financing from a narrow minded group of civil servants in his finance dept. Michael doesn't listen to "ordinary Canadians" because -we don't know what we are talking about"' So last week income tax expert Neil Brooks of Osgoode Hall Law School came up with detailed calculations that show that a 3 to 5% rise in our income tax would collect as much money for the federal treasury and would be fairer than the GST. It would also eliminate all those federal civil servants needed to send cheques out to low income families and handle the millions of incoming GST forms from business. In addition• small businesses wouldn't have to go out of business because of the GST and thus would be in shape to pay slightly more income and corporation taxes' And instead of raising the inflation rate as the GST would do to the economy. Brook -c' plan would reduce inflation by about two percent, which might bring down interest rates, provided that the Bank of Canada listened to proper business reasons instead of a mythical analysis not based on anything to do with realism. At last Michael Wilson has someone blowing up his GST theory - and it isn't just one of us editorializing' Market Value Dear Editor Toronto's '.Mayor Art Eggleton should not be allowed to get away with the political opportunism he is so blatantly displaying on the issue of Market Value Assessment. Not only that Mr. Eggleton refuses to support something as fair as market value assessment, he is saying to his fellow coun- cil members Joe Pantalone. Richard Gilbert and Dale Mar- tin "they have wntten off their political future in not play- ing the game as Mr. Eggleton has done..' Anyone that refuses to support market value assessment should suggest other fairer alternatives. The outdated pre- sent disproportionate taxation is obvious and admitted all around. Without alternatives the opponents of market value assessment are simply saying to all of us they refuse to pay their share of the municipal cost of maintenance opera- tions They must admit they have been spoiled and hope to keep sloughing their expenditure onto others. Murucipal costs of operation are never determined by real estate values. These values are oniv used for com- parative tax purposes. Foes of market value assessment magnify and inflame resentment against market value assessment for their own selfish reasons and Eggleton should not be party to such blindness. Any increase in the annual cost of operations in the municipality is only indexed as any other costs to the rate of inflation, the average of which is far lower than the escalation of property values. If property values were to greatly decrease there would still be a cost of operations based on the cost of labour and equipment The concessions arranged for the gradual transition to market value by the handicapped is not fair economics. and should not be rruscor>,trued as anything but temporary generouz, accommodation. No one is being taxed on unrealized profit as Mr Eggleton is trumpeting about town. Yours truly Mike Boychyn 35 Wandering Trail k-art>,-,mugi: Here and There United %%ay Campaign Funds Randy Billing.

' Here and There Education & Religion Public school boards that want to maintain a program of education about religion at the elementary school level will be able to do so, providing they comply with the criteria set out in a recent Ontario Court of Appeal decision on religious education, Education Minister Sean Conway said recently. Conway also announced that the government does not in- tend to appeal the Court decision. "In its unanimous decision of Jan. 30, 1990, the Court stated that subsection 28 141 of Regulation 262 under the Education Act is invalid, because it is inconsistent with the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms," Conway said. The minister said that, in deciding not to appeal the court decision, the government recognizes the court made it very clear that the regulation is invalid because it permitted the teaching of a single religious tradition as if it were the ex- clusive means through which to develop moral thinking and behaviour. "However, the Court of Appeal also stated that education designed to teach about religion and to foster moral values, without indoctrination in a particular religious faith, would not breach the Charter. The policy I am announcing today is designed to help boards that wish to offer a program of education about religion do so in compliance with the Court decision," he said. $M.415 To Sunny brook Sunnybrook Health Science Centre has been awarded $483,415 to help construct domestic and fire protection water mains and a portion of sanitary storm sewers.

Dear Mr. Watson The board of the Big Brothers Association of Ajax - Pickering would like to express sincere appreciation to yourself and your staff for the active support you have given during the recent "Bowl -for -Millions" campaign. I would also like to express thanks to your many readers who helped to make this the best ever "Bowl -for -Millions" by their participation or sponsorship of bowlers. Thanks also goes to service clubs, schools, media, elected officials, financial institutions, Ajax and Pickering fire fighters, recreation departments, local businesses, lawyers, the C.A.W., Durham police, Big and Little Brothers. and restaurants. The communities of Ajax and Pickering have once again shown that special type of caring that makes them unique. Sincerely Dan Keith. Chairman •'Bowl -for -Millions" Committee Say No To No Fault Several Ontario municipalities have passed resolutions which support the position of the Canadian Bar Association - Ontario's Insurance Committee, which has recommended that the Government of Ontario makes substantial reforms tothe proposed legislation. "We (CBAO) have been surprised at the response from the municipalities," says Ian Kirby, Chair, CBAO In- surance Committee. "An integral part of our mandate as a professional association is public legal education. Shortly after our presentation to Milton Town Council, other municipalities started passing similar resolutions to con- demn the Ontario Motorist Protection Plan." Several municipalities have expressed their opposition to the Plan to date: Toronto, Aurora, Markham, Brampton, Sarnia, Orillia, Cornwall, Woodstock. North Bay, Sault Ste. Marie, and Newmarket. Many other municipalities are con- sidering the adoption of the same resolutions. "Innocent victims will pay the price in this proposed system. Many people don't even realize that the current system has a limited no fault section already. Thousands of cases exist where these claims have to be taken to court to get what are supposed to be mandatory benefits. What makes the government think their new system will eliminate this? With the increase in benefits in this area (which the CBAO supports), one would think given this track record that even more victims will have to pursue legal recourse to claim these funds." The Canadian Bar Association -Ontario is a voluntary pro- fessional organization representing over 16,000 lawyers, judges and law students throughout the province. Its man- date is public legal education, legal research and law reform. Ontario Hydro News Lennox generating station at full operation On Dec. 20, 1989 the last of four units at the Lennox generating station near Kingston was brought back into service. Unit 3 had not produced electricity since 1980. Two years ago units t and 2 at Lennox station were returned to service to help meet peak electricity demands and to provide system security during emergency situa- tions. ByDecember. 1988 unit 4 was brought hack into service to meet the substantial growth in demand for electricity which was forecast to continue. Now. with the return of unit 3, the station is available at full power. The oil -fired generating station was mothballed in the early 1990s because of rising oil prices and lower than an- ticipated demand for electricity at that time.

Where's The Key? Dear Sir: For decades the municipality of North York had a tax deal with the Rosedale Golf Club whereby the Club. for due considerations from North York, would open the gate on Green Valley for North York cross-country skiers to use the Club. In the past five years it has been increasingly difficult to get the private member keeper of the gate key, who lives on Green Valley adjacent to the Club, to open up the gate. She resisted with a fuss. Each vear 1 forced the issue, until that private member at last allegedly gave the key to the Recreation Department. Even then, in the past two years, I had to chase the key keeper to open up by about December. last year they were late opening up but never so late as this year when the keeper of the key is lying low and no amount of pressure on the :Mayor or criticism of his very poor quality Recreation Department Civil Servants will cough the key up. I was pro - mused that the gate would be opened a dozen times. It isn't. At this point it would be good for the local press to go into the little deal between that private club and the municipali- ty, uncover the incompetence in the civil service and then deliver the key and the gate to the people who pay such enormous taxes for such poor service anyway.

Ltrav A Beginner's Guide To Prince Edward Island by Lynne Bolton A sunny day on Prince Edward Island is like no where else on earth. Winter or summer, the sun seem- ingly porus out warmth on this island, igniting the fiery red soil, and nurtur- ing the green cleanness of fields from its place in a ra- diant sky. Standing on its shore, feeling the cut of salt spray deep in your lungs as you inhale, it is easy to believe the Micmac tale of an island named Minegoo, fashioned by the Great Spirit for his own pleasure. Over 700,010 visitors a year make Prince Edward Island their destination. By ferry, Prince Edward Island is 45 minutes from New Brunswick or 90 minutes from Nova Scotia. In addition to local charter services, Charlottetown Airport is served by Air Canada and Canadian Airlines International, as well as connector airlines. The fust -time visitor on the island will find an escape from crowds and concrete, to a generous and restful place of friendly people and boundless hospitality. The island's glorious landscape is retained in large port because of the close ties of the 125.000 residents to land and sea. Agriculture and fishing re- main the major occupa- tiors of islanders. edioing the efforts of their ancestors who fished and farmed before them. Concern for the environ- ment is reflected in the beautful national and domens of provincial and private parks, where nature's reign is un- challenged. but enjoyed and cherished in a sprit of stewardship. Mention Prince Edward Island, and the thoughts of many fly to a certain sweet yet salty miss with long red braids, who attracted adventure to herself as bees to the hive. "Anne of Green Gables" still lives on the island in her beloved 'Avonlea" At the Green Gables House in Cavendish, visitors discover an exac- ting copy of the home described in L. M. Mon- tgomery's well -loved fic- tional book, even to the cracked slate familiar to those who know of Anne's early tempestuous rela- tionship with Gilbert Blythe. A stroll around the pro- vincial capital of Charlot- tetown will delight the eye as you can see Canada's history in the many old homes that have been preserved; and in Province For all your travel nada "We'll show you what Travel Service really means" 284-8300 MORNINGSIDE MALL The mall entrance beside Woolco, Upper Level OPEN *30 am 830p.m.Mon Fn 10am Sp.m.Srurdsys House, the provincial legislature, a National Historic Site, several rooms have been outfitted in the style of 1864 when the representatives at the Charlottetown Conference fust argued about a far- flung idea of a united Canada. Any business day at the Prince Edward Island Museum and Heritage Foundation in Charlot- tetown will find those with island roots tracing back through time in search of family. But this culturally rich city is not just in love with antiquity - several modern malls, restaurants, and many independent shops offer a superb selection of goods and services in- cluding exquisitely needled sweaters or pottery by island artisans. While touring distances on the island are compact, more and more cyclists are travelling at a slower pace to survey the island's gent- ly rolling landscape. There are hiking trails for those of either long or short en- durance, as well as cham- pionship golf courses. driv- ing ranges. go-kart tracks, and a myriad of other ac- tivities to suit everyone. Deep sea fishing captains will take brave landlubbers aboard to try their luck at that really big fish and tell no tales of the ones that got away. If all this activity sounds too feverish, there are 500 miles of white and red sand beaches, allowing you to spend your holiday relax- ing in the sun. Here, time is a luxury to spend how you will. with the freedom to make no more pressing a decision whan where to eat. Vying for the culinary at- tention of visitors are new potatoes, lobsters and other shellfish, a bountiful harvest of field and foam to tempt even the strictest calorie -counter. Many small communities and church groups offer lobster suppers, where everything is made and served by chefs who work the same miracle daily in their own kitchens. If you are a do-it- yourselfer, you can buy seafood right at the wharf in many harbours, or visit farmers' markets where farmers, who ship produce all over the world, will tempt you with a pleasing range of fruit and vegetables and plenty of homemade delights too! Come night fall, many places beckon you to stay. Depending on taste or wallet size, you may opt for the grandeur of the CP Prince Edward Hotel, one of the island's lux- ury, deluxe hotels, or settle in at a country inn or a family -run bed and breakfast property. For those to whom comfort is secondary to gathering around a fire under a brilliant starry ski, there are dozens of campgrounds Wed. Mar. 14, 1990 THE NEWS/ POST Page Tours Of Maple Syrup Demonstrations The Maple Syrup Demonstrationprogram at Purple Woods Conserva- tion Area continues with weekend tours for public and community groups. Visitors will have an oppor- tunity to see all aspects of syrup production on tours led by authority staff, in- cluding Indian and pioneer methods. Sap is collected in metal buckets and also by pipeline, using a vacuum PUMP. The sap is boiled down in a wood -fired evaporator at the sugar shack. For final heating, a finishing pan is used. Since propane is used at this stage, the temperature of the finishing pan can be finely controlled to produce the best quality syrup. After checking for densi- ty, colour and grade, the Tea With Governor At Campbell House Two of the Town of York's movers and shakers are getting together for afternoon tea, and you're invited to join them. Sir William Campbell, sixth Chief Justice of Up- per Canada will welcome the founder of York and first Lieutenant Governor of Upper Canada, John Graves Simcoe, from 2 un- til 4 p.m. on Wed. Mar. 14 at Campbell House. The occa- sion is the 238th birthday of Governor Simcoe. The gentlemen will receive guests in the Darien Lake Theme Park Darien Lake Theme Park and Camping Resort is earning international recognition for its 1989 television commerical, ..may Run,. The 30 -second spot, which featured a live 1400 pound bear. was recently awarded a Brass Ring - advertising excellence award - by the Interna- tional Association of Amusement Parks and At- tractions (IAAPA) during its annual convention in Atlanta, Georgia. Darien Lake's "Grizzly Run" cam- paign received 2nd place among parks with annual attendances up to 1.5 million. "Doc", the 6-1 2 foot Alaskan brown bear who starred in the Darien Lake spots, has appeared in roughly 25 movies and commercials including the internationally acclaimed film, "Ibe Bear". ..Doc.. was born at the Baltimore Zoo and trained by Mark Weiner of Vancouver, British Columbia. Darien Lake Theme Park and Camping Resort is New York State's premier entertainment complex, featuring over 100 rides, shows, and at- tractions, as well as a 2,000 site campground. Darien Lake is located midway between Buffalo and Rochester. Take the New York State Thruway (1-90) to Exit 49A and head south on Route 77. located throughout the pro- vince.

Campbell House. built in 1822, is a sterling example of a gentleman's Georgian home. and is one of the oldest brick structures in Toronto. Restored to its former elegance, it pro- vides a quiet haven in the heart of downtown Toronto. Located on the north- west corner of Queen St. and University Ave. the house is easily accessible by public transportation - both the Queen West street- car and the Osgoode Sub- way Station are just a few steps from the front door. For those coming by car, there is a commercial parking lot on Simcoe Street, just north of the house. This is a perfect event to dispel the mid-March Break blues, and along the way. you can learn about life in the early 19th cen- tury.

What's that? The church burned down. Holy smoke! It was the best we could come up with to describe Tony n' Tina's Wedding which has finally reached Toronto. (Other productions are presently running in New York, Los Angeles and Philadelphia.) T. n' T.'s Wedding is a smoking hot and enjoyable experience in environmen- tal theatre. For those who might not be familiar with the term, it refers to au- dience participation. In the case of T. n' T.'s Wedding - oh heck! let's just call it T. N. T. from here on -the au- dience interchanges with the cast as congregation, friends of the family and guests at a wedding recep- tion. T.N.T. is presented nightly Wednesdays through Sunday. The wed- ding takes place in Our Lady of the Sacred and Blessed "Church" at 535 Queen St. W. at Augusta. It's actually the former site of a bank but is being used temporarily because the real church has just burned down. Holy smoke! The wedding begins at 7 p.m. sharp but ushers are outside the church about 6:45 to escort you to a pew. Be sure to mention if you are guests of the bride or of the groom. The wedding service lasts about an hour after which all guests wait out- side the church to throw confetti before joining the UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT VELVET FAMILY RESTAURANT Breakfast Specials 7 a.m. toll a.m. (Mon. -Fri.) 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. (Sat. & Sun.)

Now the foregoing is only a more or less bare bones recital of what guests should expect. A review is far more difficult. You see, while the pro- duction is smoothly put together it is also in large measure improvisational and what is experienced one night is not exactly what one will see on another. The one constant is that the performers become part of the audience. At- tendees dance, joke, eat and even help out the wed- ding party if necessary. (A young nun -cousin of the bride -asked us for help when the parish priest showed signs of becoming a little tipsy. We obliged by giving him a whiff of after shave and helping him to a seat. ) The production staff is huge and there are 29 per- formers. So. much as one would like, it's quite im- possible for us to mention all by name. Be assured however that all deserve individual mention and With that as preamble allow us to mention a few and their performances. As Tony and Tina, David Berri and Penny Everett could hardly be improved upon. Quite apart from the fact that they look typical - be is lean, slicked back and gran sheaving: she is zaftig, hyper and also gum chewing -they act in the manner seen so often at weddings of the kind. Neither is notably bright, neither knows that, neither cares. They simply 1m+e each other . . in their fashion. • Hey Tina, ya bet- ter set yore a -s over here or the shit is gonna hit the fan. Ya hear me?" Claudio Folia as an usher and brother of the groan is Johnny Stompanato ( anybody remember him?) brought buck to life.

Scarborough Ample free parking. For reservations 694-1194 702 Pape Ave. (above Danforth Ave.) 463-0334 is hilarious as is Monique Folsey playing the sexy girl friend of the groom's father. She danced on the bar the night we were there. Perhaps she will on the night of your atten- dance if you're lucky. Bruce Bell as Vinnie Black "the Cadillac of caterers" looks like an overweight Slim Whitman and tells jokes like every person who has ever aspired to show business but settled for its perimetres. In describing the buffet dinner he has prepared he refers to the salad ..'specially for honey- mooners .. lettuce alone". All that this reviewer can now say is that Tony n' Tina's Wedding is most 'specially for everyone. May Tony and Tina live happily ever after and may their wedding run forever. Holy smoke! ON SCREEN: Tom Hanks is currently tat and will likely attract large custom for Joe Ver- sus the Volcano ( Warner Brothers) but the film doesn't deserve it. It's a silly little piece about a man supposedly dying who is canned into being a sacrifice to a volcanic god. Initial press releases refer to it as a "romantic - comedy -adventure". To be fair, it is a little of each, but not in large enough measure to warrant view - m6 About the best that can be said for the film is that there are some good per formances in it. Lloyd Bridges as a conniving in- dustrialist rather reminds one of the late Thomas Mit- chell in his manic impact. Robert Stack apparently has been an actor all along and proves it as a cold hearted Abesh frau Barney Miller) is hilarious in war paint as a South Seas native chief. Dan Hedaya as a tin pot office supervisor is funny in a bit- ter sort of way. We've all had anal orifice super- visors like that and they weren't funny at all. Gorgeous Meg Ryan plays three roles -don't ask why -and is attractive and funny in all of them. All of the performances, however, and sadly are in a lost cause. As we suggest. Joe Ver- sus the Volcano might do well at the box office in- itially because of Tom Hanks' name and his good as always performance but we repeat that it doesn't deserve to. And, Mr. Hanks doesn't deserve to be saddl- ed with a film such as this. ON RECORD: For those who missed David Bowie's blockbuster golden oldies show last week at Skydome, here's a bit of a palliative. Palliative1 A. & M. Canada have released four cassettes featuring virtually all of David Bowie's hits. many of them digitally remastered. The four are titled Hunky Dory. Space Oddity. The Man Who Sold the World and Clangesbowie. We can't pretend to be a fan of Mr. Bowie's music though rather liking him personally. Permit us to say, however, that in drag he's a helluvalot more at- tractive than Boy George. ON YOUR TOES: If you should be in Ot- tawa on Mar. 24th, we understand that some tickets might still be available for La Nuit Car- tier, a fund raising gala for the Ottawa Ballet of which Frank Augustyn is now ar- tistic director.

KNOWING THE SCAM Part of protecting yourself is knowing how the phone pirates operate. The copier marketing manager of Pitney Bowe!, Jim Attridge, has this advice. "Shortly before they hit you for the sale. a mcnehcr of the pirate company will call, pre- tending w be cowtducting a mar- ket survey. They get informa- tion about vour equipriumt and scniow staff— information that is casually dropped into the Saks pitch to reiake cc the illu- sion of hcireg legitimate.

Over the past two years, only two office equipment telemarketing companies have been convicted of mimcprewn- tatiun. It is a different situation in the U.S.. where numerous successful prosecutions and large fortes have acted as a de- terrent to the pluonc pirates. HOW TO PROTECT ,'OURSELF 1.

Rice a healthy choice for nutrition month Remember when your favor- ite foods were all "bad for you" and everything "good for you'. tasted bland, boxing or worse' Wcll, welcome to nutrition in the 90s. A growing understand- ing of food and nutrition and an emphasis on lighter preparation methods is dramatically chang- ing the way we think about nutrition. Today nutritious and delicious aren't mutually exclu- sive. March is Nutrition Month, which means that professional dietitians across the country will be working hard to show Canadians just how delicious nutritious meals can be. Nuta- tion experts today recommend that 55 to 60 per cent of all calories consumed should come from complex carbohydrates, found in foods such as rice and other grains, pasta. potatoes and other vegetables and fruits. Versatile, flavorful rice makes it easy to increase com- plex carbohydrate intake while minimizing proteins and reduc- ing fats. With just I10 calories in a 2/3 cup serving and virtu- ally no fat, cholesterol or sodi- um, rice can add a nutritious boost to all kinds of dishes. ' This Tarragon Chicken and Rice recipe features fresh herbs and yogurt in a low-fat dinner that's packed with flavor.

You still have time to appeal your 1989 assessment if you feel your home or business property has been improperly assessed. Your assessment is important because the amount of property tax you will pay in 1990 depends on it. The assessed value of your property is multiplied by the municipal and school mill rates to determine your property taxes. Notices of Property Valuation were mailed to property owners and tenants whose assessments have changed since last year. Open house information sessions were held in your area to give you the opportunity to ask questions and correct any errors. The Assessment Roll was delivered to your municipality on February 27, 1990 and will be used to calculate the taxes you will pay in 1990. You can review the Roll at your municipal office during regular business hours. If you believe your prop- erty has been improperly assessed and you have not yet registered an appeal, you still have until March 20, 1990 to mail or deliver your appeal to the Assessment Review Board. And remember, even if you did not receive a Notice of Prop- erty Valuation, you still have the right to appeal. Appeal deadline: March 20, 1990 The Assessment Review Board is an independent tribunal under the jurisdiction of the Ontario Ministry of the Attorney General. It is intended to provide you with an additional opportunity to have your assessment reviewed if, in your opinion, it is not fair and equitable with the assessment of similar properties in your area. The Review Board is more informal and relaxed than a regular court of law. You may present your own case, retain a lawyer, or ask a relative or friend to speak as your agent. To help you in filing your appeal, Notice of Appeal forms are available from the Assessment Review Board, your Regional Assessment Office, or your municipal office. You can also use the reverse side of a Notice of Property Valuation, or write a letter giving the property address and roll number along with your reasons for appealing. Appeals should be forwarded to the Regional Registrar of the Assessment Review Board at the address shown below. If you appealed your previous assessment, it will be necessary to lodge an appeal against your assessment with the Assessment Review Board each year, if the appeal against your previous assessment has not yet been settled, or your 1989 Notice of Property Valuation does not reflect the most recent decision of the Board. -In those parts of Ontario designated for French Language Services, you can appear before a bilingual (English/ French) Appeal Board. Please check the space provided on your appeal form if you wish to use this service. Ministry Regional Registrar of Assessment Review Board Revenue 277 George Street North.

Homemade "freezer" meals Wouldn't it be nice to just wave a magic wand and make an appet=g, nutntious meal appear for yourself or a family member who can't meet the normal dinner hour? Alas, technology has failed to de- liver such miracles. But, you do have a freezer. This fre- quently under -used appliance can greatly facilitate meal preparation. It's simple. Prepare a basic recipe, then freeze it in meal - sized portions. In just a few minutes you can create very economical, nutritious foods to store in your freezer, then heat and finish -off as needed. Sauces, soups and pertain cas- seroles are ideal for this culi- nary time-saver. Made -ahead freezer meals are especially nice for fami- lies whose schedules demand varied eating times. One and two member households also benefit —it's an easy, eco- nomical way to add menu variety. One basic recipe can yield several meals to be enjoyed over two or three months. Frozen vegetables such as those from Green Giant are excellent ingredients for make -ahead freezer meals. There's no cleaning, blanch- ing or chopping rxedod They are easily stirred into cooled soup and casserole bases j ust prior to freezing to individ- ual portions. These three portion -sized freezer recipes come from Green Giant and have been specially developed to retain all the nutritional benefits of vegetables while providing the ease of reheatable meals.

This allocation is in support of the government's pro- gram to restructure elementary and secondary education, as promised in the 1989 Throne Speech. "It is crucial that we renew our educational system to en- sure that Ontario's young people acquire the skills and resources they need for their future in the emerging knowledge - and technology - based global economy," said Sean Conway, Minister of Education. The $15 million will fund pilot projects and the purchase of equipment in three areas: Technological Education, Junior Kindergarten, and Grades 7, 8 and 9. The initiatives include a $12 milljon Technological Educa- tion Equipment Renewal Fund to allow school boards to ac- quire the machines, computers, etc., needed to implement Ontario's new technological studies program, which focuses on five areas; communications, construction, manufacturing, services and transportation. The fund will allocate grants to school boards up to $200,000 per school. A $2 million Incentive Fund will help school boards that are beginning to offer Junior Kindergarten programs. The fund will provide grants of up to $3,000 per classroom to assist in the purchase of learning equipment, such as climb- ing apparatus and sand and water tables. Ibis initiative supports the government's goal of providing Junior Kindergarten programs province -wide by 1994. A $1 million per year pilot project fund will be made available to school boards for a two-year period beginning in 1990 91 to explore innovative learning programs for Grades 7, 3 and 9. when students are making the transition into secondary education. School boards are being mvited to submit applications to the Ministry of Education for pilot projects focussing on the needs of the adolescent in such areas as curriculum development, teaching strategies, and career counselling. Results of these projects will be shared province -wide. 'Reese projects support the government's $354 million. five-year commitment to restructure education in Ontario. In the last session. the government provided significant new fug to reduce class sizes in grades one and two, in- creased funding for additional computer technology, new textbooks and enhanced learning materials; announced major increases in annual funding for school construction - four times higher than the 1984-95 levels: and implemented provincial reviews and benchmarks testing of reading and mathematics to improve basic skills. '"Rose initiatives are important steps as we continue to work with educators and trustees throughout the province to restructure Ontario's educational system to make it more flexible and relevant for tomorrow's graduates,.. said Mr. Conway. uX'AL UPDATE: Congratulations to the Schoolhouse Playcare Centre of Durham Inc. who recently received a grant from the Ministry of Community and Social Services for $12,858 to be used in the replacement of tiles and carpets and to install an outdoor play structure and to purchase toys and a shed.
