Cut Speed
Council
Requests
Due to the increased
amount of traffic travelling
north on Westney Rd. and
short -cutting down the 6th
Concession in a westerly
direction through the
Hamlet of Greenwood,
while children are walking
to school where no
sidewalks exist, Pickering
Council has requested the
Region of Durham to pass
the necessary by-law
enabling a sign prohibiting
left hand turns for north-
bound traffic on Westney
Rd. on the 6th Concession,
between the Muss of 7 a.m.
and 9:30 a.m. weekdays.
Council has recommend-
ed that the present sign be
replaced with a stop sign
containing a red flashing
light, and the pavement be
marked accordingly with a
solid yellow line.
Furthermore, council
has also recommended that
the speed limit signs in-
dicating a reduction speed
of 20 kmp, because of a
school zone, be moved a
sufficient distance to help
ensure that vehicles have
enough time to slow down
to the correct speed for the
safety of the children.
Easter Egg Hunt
Automated Library For
Trent Benefits Students
A million dollar library
automation system is one
of the objectives of Trent
University's $15 million
For Tomorrow campaign.
Once installed, Trent's
1,200 Oshawa -area students
will be able to consult the
University's 410,000
volume collection 50 miles
away in Peterborough
from terminals located in
Durham College and the
Oshawa Public library.
This will be made possi-
ble by a $175,000 contribu-
tion from the R. Samuel
McLaughlin Foundation.
Obtaining university
library books and
materials has been a pro-
blem for Oshawa students.
The donation from the
McLaughlin Foundation,
which will be used to
automate Trent's Bata

About South Africa
by Bob Watson
We haven't heard our External Affairs Minister Joe
Clark nor our illustrious Prime Minister Brian Mulroney
making any complimentary speeches about the moves by
the South African Parliament to rectify some of the past
moves against the African National Congress party. We
thought that after all the nasty speeches by our Canadian
leaders about another country's actions they would at least
dish out some praise.
But we guess that the African National Congress
representatives in Ottawa have still got our naive leaders
under their control. It was always obvious to those of us who
'believe in keeping our nose out of other countries' affairs
that eventually the government in South Africa would have
to meet some of the problems facing them. It seems that
Prime Minister de Klerk is making the initial moves.
All the bans on travel to South Africa and economic bans
by the Canadian government have been wasted because it
has had absolutely no effect on the South Africans. If the
government at Ottawa could learn anything from this ex-
perience it should be that we keep our nose out of other
countries* affairs. Think how we would react if the South
Africans attempted to preach bilingualism to us when they
have it already in their country! We would certainly object
to their intervention - and they should do the same to us.
No Distinct Society
Dear Editor:
Human nature, from birth. to death, usuallv wants the
biggest piece of cake• the best seat, the first place in the
line. etc.. etc. This sinful. selfish, greedy nature has caused
all the evil. crime, and wars of history, and stall continues to
motivate both individual, and collective action in this
world.
Therefore, it is not surprising that the Province of
Quebec, through their Government, seem determined to
gain a special "Distinct Society" status, with special
privileges above the rest of Canadians.
However. God has also given us a conscience. and moral
side to our nature. which resents any form of unjust
discnmination, and unfair conduct on the part of others,
especially if it is against ourselves, even though we
sometimes stifle our conscience, and condone our oum
wrong doing -
Therefore. the '.Keech Lake Constitutional Accord, if it
should ever become part of our constitution, will become
the cause of continual discord, and strife in our nation. It
will not a rote Canada, but divide it into the "Have". and the
..Have W" societies. And the "Have Not" society will
never be satisfied with their lot. It will never cease trying to
gain equality with the "Have" society: and strife and
amnwsity will increase until a common equality is achiev-
ed. Take South Africa and its present struggles as an exam-
ple. The special "Distinct Society" status is exactly the
same. in pnnciple. as the inequalities in South Africa.
which our Government so strongly opposes.
Our Government should call upon all Canadians to work
together for the common good of all, on an equal basis of
responsibility, privilege. and opportunity for all alike. This
is the only hope for a peaceful, united Canada.
We must let our Government know that we totally reject
any thought of a "Distinct Society", as proposed in the Ac-
cord.
Fours truly.

Debt Writeoff
Dear Editor:
Mr. Mulroney shrugs off criticism over Caribbean debt -
write off. These developing countries are trying to improve
their lot in life and Canada has a continuing responsibility
to contribute to a sustained and equitable economic en-
vironment in developing nations Mr. Mulroney said.
Mr. Mulroney's compassion on the International stage is
so heart rending it's simply killing to his fellow Canadians.
what happened to a sustained and equitable economic en-
vironment in Canada" Isn't this the principle we Canadians
have so hopelessly been trying to tell Mr. Mulroney and his
conservative government as a solution to Canada's
domestic hunger and attrition^
Instead Canadians are hit with high interest rates and the
beginning of a monstrous Goods and Services Tax. To the
people in the Caribbeans we can only say beware after the
words peater out the claw back takes over, Mr. Mulroney's
terminology and strategy.

$66,000 For Medical Centre
The Hugh MacMillan Medical Centre will receive a
$66,000 provincial grant to produce educational resources
for children with physical disabilities, Ontario Minister of
Tourism and Recreation Ken Black has announced.
The funds will be used to produce a video that encourages
children with disabilities to become physically active. The
Hugh MacMillan Centre is a Toronto-based rehabilitation
clinic which serves approximately 7,000 physically disabled
children from across Ontario each year.
All Must Die!
THEY struck on a day so calm and bright
No warnings, no chance for a final goodbye
The bloody hands of death had fallen tonight
And it was said "All must die!"
Cowardly and weak rised from the brave
Then THEY'd look the innocent in the eye
And sent them to their burning grave
Solemnly preaching "All must die!"
Death arrived with no graves, no flowers
Brothers of oneness was now a lie
Death was there no matter the hour
THEY proudly repeating "All must die!"
Good for mankind was the racist pian
A perfect race was their only cry
Performing torture anytime they can
Constantly chanting ..All must die!"
This horrid misfortune is finally gone
We should not look now for revenge from then
Though the sorrow will live eternally long
We should peacefully preach "unity between men'"
This poem is Grade 12 student Suraya Haq's personal
response to the Holocaust unit which she had just com-
pleted at Lester Pearson C. 1.
STATFACTS
Getting a new home certainly triggers the decision to

Navigation
Season
Is Open
Opening the navigation
season in the Port of Toron-
to is beginning to sound like
an old refrain for the ce-
ment carrier Stephen B.
Roman.
For the seventh con-
secutive year the vessel
opened Toronto's naviga-
tion season when she arriv-
ed from Picton, Ont. on
Mar. 15 carrying 7,800 ton-
nes of cement.
With the honour went the
traditional topper which
was presented to Captain
John Pace. master of the
vessel, for the third
straight year.
Since it first opened
Toronto's navigation
season in 1994 under Cap-
tain John Quarrell. the
149 -metre lakes vessel has
adopted Toronto as its
home port. Besides spen-
ding winter lay-up here
each year, the vessel
makes numerous round
trips in and out of the bar-
bour each season carrying
her cargo of bulk cement
between Picton and Toron-
to which amounts to some
300,000 tonnes annually.
The string of Lake On-
tano Cement ships started
in 1983 when the Metis
opened the season on
March 25.
In presenting the historic
silk and beaver top hat to
Captain Pace, Toronto
Harbour Commission
Chairman Betty Disero
said: "To be quite honest,
we have run out of things to
say about the Stephen B.
Roman, which has carried
the honour of opening the
Port of Toronto's naviga-
tion season for seven con-
secutive years."
Captain Pace accepted
the top hat as master of the
Stephen B. Roman for the
last time, as he will be leav-
ing the vessel for another
assignment.

Immigrant Student Services
Require More Federal Funds
Special services for im-
migrant students are plac-
ing an undue burden on
Scarborough taxpayers,
according to Dianne
Williams, Chairman of the
Scarborough Board of
Education.
Mrs. Williams says she is
frustrated over the "inade-
quate" way in which the
issue has been addressed
by the Hon. Barbara
McDougall, Minister of
Employment and Im-
migration.
Scarborough receives no
federal funding and vir-
tually no provincial fun-
ding for such services, says
Mr. Williams, and this
means that taxpayers must
bear the burden of meeting
a continually growing need
for resources to help im-
migrant students adjust to
their new home in Scar-
borough.
' 7his is the second letter
the board has written to
Ms. McDougall in an effort
to obtain federal grant fun-
ding for services to im-
migrant students in Scar-
borough." says Mrs.
Williams.
The first letter, written in
May. 1909, was accom-
panied by a report entitled
"Immigrant Students in
Scarborough Schools -
Report of Present Status".
It was this report that pro-
mpted the board to write to
the minister.
In the May letter. Direc-
tar of Education Cameron
A. Cowan stated that "Con-
ditions
Coo-ditiorss which bring these
refugee students to our
schools often reflect hor-
rendous recent ex-
periences, including
devastating improvermli-
ment, war, alienation" and
realities which most of us
in Canadian society cannot
fully comprehend "When
these young refugees ar-
rive in our schools, many
are traumatized by their
recent reality and require
particularly sensitive
reception and placement."
He concluded, "Surely
some responsibility lies
within your Department to
assist in funding the
resources required to pro-
vide appropriate reception
for these dramatically high
levels of immigration
fostered through your in-
itiative."
Barbara McDougall's
November reply
acknowledged "the sen-
sitivity of your board in
commissioning this study
and in planning culturally
sensitive programs to meet
the needs of your student
population".
However, she wrote that
the Canada Employment
and Immigration Commis-
sion, emphasizing family
reunification as one of the
cornerstones of its pro-
grams, directs those pro-
grams to adult im-
migrants. "This approach
also acknowledges the pro-
vince's constitutional
authority for the education
and protection of
children..'
Her officials regularly
consult with provincial
authorities in developing
immigration levels, she
stated and "I believe that
this consultative process
and the programs we pro-
vide for adult immigrants .
. indicate that CEIC is
meeting the respon-
sibilities for immigrants
within its jurisdiction."
..Ms McDougall's reply
did not adequately address
our request," says Mrs.
{Williams. "Our trustees
believe that Ms.
McDougall's Ministry
could provide essential aid
to resources in Scar-
borough, truly a
area in terms of the
number of immigrant
students enrolling in our
schools each year.
"As a result, we have
resolved to write to her
again, expressing our con-
cern about her reply, and
inviting her to meet with us
to discuss the issue..'

A tradition of excellence
The Scarborough Board of Education

of education. We give our students
a strong foundation in the basics —
the three R's — as well as developing
their creativity of expression and
thought. With a firm, supportive
approach to teaching, our young stu-
dents develop a love of learning that
will last the rest of their lives.
In addition to providing students
with the necessary tools, climate and
inspiration for learning, Scarborough
public schools foster the development
of values Canadians regard as essen-
tial to the well-being of their society.
Equally important, the Scarborough
Board of Education has a tradition of
supporting strong discipline in its
schools. Students are encouraged to
be not only self-disciplined, but also
self -motivated, conscientious, and
responsible — characteristics that
will serve them well throughout their
learning and professional years.

Bill Watt's Worlds
BIG WIND 1:
Race the Wind is the
newest Imax film to be
presented at Cinesphere in
Ontario Place. An earlier
commitment prevented us
from attending the recent
media preview but we
assigned an associate to it
and he reported back with
great enthusiasm.
Race the Wind is a 40
minute film chronicling
man's use of the wind in
moving from place to
place. Old salts will love it
or hate it; all who enjoy
beauty will fall under its
You'll experience a
storm at sea under sail, the
'87!088 Americas Cup
races, the sheer exhilara-
tion of windsw'furg and
even the thrill of sandsail-
ing on the Mojave Desert.
As always the superb Im-
ax photography and sound
make the viewer feel to be
part of the action on
screen.
On the same bill is a
reprise of The Dream is
Alive, the fine film about
man's exploits in space.
Our associate says these
two films are not to be
missed. We have no inten-
tion of missing them and
neither should any reader
who enjoys the beauties of
this still marvellous world.
BIG WIND II:
Couldn't resist the cut
line as a reminder that
once again we are lending
our celebrity/ notoriety to
the National Ballet and its
fund raising Pointe to
Pointe marathon on Sun.

Big Wind is what we will
require more than usual

previous week. Never the

MUSIC NOTES:
There's quite a show
scheduled for The Diamond
tomorrow night. Quantum
recording artists The Look
People will feature selec-
tions from their new album
Small Fish, Big Pond at
10:15. They will be preced-
ed by John Henry Nyenhuis
at 9 and followed by rap
group Laymen Twaist at
9:30.
The evening will end with
a midnight performance by
Robbie Rox. Sounds like an
exciting evening but -and
maybe it's age showing -we
find ourself uncomfortable
with the idea of a perfor-
mance as Good Friday oc-
curs.
Whatever happened to
midnight services and
one's conscientious atten-
dance at them?
We are not too sure.
either, about this Sunday's
afternoon performance at
Roy Thomson Hall. The
house is close to sold out -
there might still be a few
tickets -for a show by the
Palm Court Orchestra
featuring authentic ar-
rangements of popular
songs from the turn of the
century to 1945.
The orchestra happens to
be one of our favourites and
obviously our enjoyment is
shared by many. Still,
salon music on Easter Sun-
day?
One is grateful the Palm
Court Orchestra was not
scheduled for Palm Sun-
day. Julie Giles, one of our

ON RECORD:
While listening with half
an ear to Entertainment
Tonight recently, (actually
we were hoping for a flash
of Mary Hart's gorgeous
gams) we overheard that
co -host John Tesh's latest
album had just been
declared the year's best in
its class.
The title is Garden City
and it's available locally on
Cypress Records. Attic
Records are the Canadian
It seems to us a confused
m6lange of the visceral and
the cerebral: each listener
must make his or her own
determination of enjoy-
ment.
Certainly the musician-
ship cannot be denied. Mr.
Tesh is excellent at his
craft and among the other
good supporting musicians
are Diana Dewitt and the
redoubtable Toots
ZLeilmans.
Now John, about that in-
troduction to Mary Hart ...
We truly looked forward
to listening to Gene Harris
and the Philip Morris
Superband Live at Town
Hall ( Concord Jazz) . The
Concert was a benefit spon-
sored by Philip Morris on
Sept. 23rd, 1989.
The selections listed on
the album cover are en-
joyable standards and the
bard personnel comprise a
who's who of jan greats.
Some of the names are Ray
Brown, Jeff Hamilton,
Herb Ellis, Sweets Edison
and Joe Mosello.
Well, something happen-
ed between the concept and
the reality. The album is
dull to the point of being
stultifying.
We blame the ar-
rangements. Each in-
strumentalist is featured to
a near perfection but the
ensemble work is without
any imagination or drive.
To be fair, some explana-
tion might lie in the fact
that the concert was a de
facto pick up gib but it re-
mains that there is little
verve in evidence.
Perhaps fault lies with
leader Gene Harris. We
were underwhelmed by his
earlier album Tribute to
Count Basie as well.
Circumstances of play-
ing or poor leadership, it
doesn't really matter. The
best circumstances in the
world cannot overcome a
lack of imaginative and
musically sound ar-
rangements. Listening to
this we found ourself hark-
ing back to the glory days
of such arrangers as Paul
Weston, Gordon Jenkins,
Cy Oliver or even Quincy
Jones who is a damned fine
big band swing arranger
when he can find the time.
About the best to be said
for this effort is that one
will enjoy listening to the
technique of some fine
musicians in solo but that's

IN PRINT:
Given the continuing cool
to cold weather the title of
Scott Young's latest novel
seems cruelly appropriate.
It is Murder In a Cold
Climate and is published by
Fawcett Crest.
In it Mr. Young in-
troduces R. C. M. P. special
assignment officer Mat-
teesie Kitologitak, an Inuk
with an insight into the
ways of Canada's North.
That's about what the
book is as well. Oh, it's
nicely tarted up with a
shoot em up about drug
trafficking -cid you know
that much of the illegal
drugs in Canada are
brought in from the
North? -but the true value
of Murder In a Cold
Climate is its description of
life in a part of Canada that
most have not visited.
For a student of writing
there is also much value in
the style of the author. So
vivid is his prose that one
can almost feel the cold,
see the beauty of dawn on
the short Arctic day and
even taste a sandwich just
removed from its wax
paper; thick, crusty bread
slathered with firm butter
and piled generously with
tinned salmon.
One cannot equate Scott
Young with John Buchan
but both writers share the
skill of evocation, a skill
that we wish we could ac-
complish.
Arthur C. Clarke is a
scientist of accomplish-
ment but is probably best
known as the author of
science fiction stories that
bear a stamp of authentici-
ty. So meticulous is his
work that it might have
contributed to a certain
lack of excitement in Ar-
Gardens at 4 p.m. on May
9th. For tickets call Mn.
Shirriff at 449-0444.
French Adult
Day Classes
Beginner and advanced
credit courses in French

legiate starting in

mation call the Collegiate

thur C. Clarke's Chronicles
of the Strange and
Mysterious (Graf-
ton - Collins) .
As the title suggests, this
is a collection of writings
and illustrations of and
about those things that
mankind cannot quite ex-
plain. It's the sort of book
that many including your
writer enjoy.
There is enjoyment here
but it's alloyed by
relentless scientific en-
quiry. Nothing the matter
with that of course but one
likes to fly occasionally and
not be constrained by
pedestrianism.
Perhaps the tone of the
book can best be summed
up by Mr. Clarke's own
words ... "Cameras can't
lie -Lit liars can
photograph".
All too true unfortunately
so we will probably never
really know if savage cats
stalk a certain commuter
belt or if spontaneous
human combustion can be
rationally explained.
Oh well, as the late Gilda
Radner would say, "Never
mind".
HEADLINERS:
Due to the response to
earlier advice to it, the
Canadian Opera Company

for application to the Wig
and Make -Up Training Ap-
prentice Program until

ment goes through with its

"What goes around,

stir coating on the
Pers, they can take up to
years to decompose.
urthermore, viruses
d in human waste pose
threat by ending up un -
ted in landfill sites, in -
d of being handled by
our sewage systems. There
are other concerns too,
ranging from reported
dangers from the crystals
in disposables to possible
exposure to traces of highly
toxic dioxins as a result of
the pulp bleaching process.
In response to these en-
vironmental concerns
many municipalities have
already banned disposable
diapers. Nebraska, for in-
stance, has outlawed the
sale of disposable diapers
effective 1993, and Oregon
has proposed legislation to
ban the sale of non -
biodegradable disposable
diapers. Canadians are
sure to follow suit.
It is no wonder, then, that
cloth diapers have made a
comeback. The new era of
cotton diapers offers all the
conveniences parents ex-
pect: contoured fit, velcro
closing, elasticized legs
and waist, and extra absor-
bancy. And the benefits for
baby include significantly
lower incidence of diaper
rash, cosy, comfortable
diapers, and soft
breathable pants.
Cloth diapering is very
economical too: from birth
to toilet training, use of a
diaper service saves up to
$1,000 over the cost of
disposables. But the most
economical alternative is
buying your own cloth
diapers which saves aP to

$1,700 ( including all ac-
cessories and laundering
expenses).
Many parents are
carefully considering their
diapering choice today.
For instance, local resident
Susanne Tingling diapered
her son in disposables for
the first couple of months,
but with the growing
awareness of the en-
vironmental impact, she
decided to switch to cloth.
On investigating the
cloth diaper market she
was impressed with those
available and selected
what she thought was the
best, the "Indisposable
Cotton Diaper". These
diapers are manufactured
in Vancouver, B.C. and are
available exclusively
through home distributors
across the country.
Susanne was so pleased
with the Indisposables that
she decided to become a
distributor and today sells
the diapers from her home,
serving the Rouge
Hill/West Hill area. For
further information on
cloth diapers and the In -
disposables contact
Susanne Tingling at

New Affiliate Card For Business
Many Canadian
businesses are becoming
more productive this year
thanks to the introduction
of the world's first credit
card exclusively for the
contractor, commercial
and industrial markets.
The Affiliate card, is an
innovation in financial
systems that provides
more efficient use of
credit," says Howard
Campbell, Vice President
and General Manager of
Independent Electric Co.
Ltd. in Scarborough "and
offers a highly useful sup -
prier accounting system to
large and small customers
alike."
The Affiliate card was
developed by Copel Inc., a
consortium of 21 electrical
distributors, including In-
dependent Electric, with
200 branches across
Canada. Copel boasts a
;550 million annual sales
volume, with a product mix

Tax Assistance for Retire-
ment Savings
Citing the "confusion,
over -contribution and
anger" that will result
from proposed changes to
the Income Tax Act which
governs tax assistance for
retirement savings, the
board expresses its "ab-
solute opposition" to some
�,� :, _ !}::!:{ tit::': •:•:rl:•,::' '.
of hundreds of goods
manufactured by Canadian
electrical manufacturers.
"Cope) provides its
shareholder companies
like ours with the kind of
marketing and purchasing
power that would be
beyond our reach if we
were to act alone," says
Mr. Campbell, "and over
the years, Cope] has proven
itself to be innovative in
helping us stay one step
ahead of the competition."
Copel's latest innovation,
the Affiliate card, was an-
nounced last year and for
the past several months
has been field tested with
very favourable results.
Now it is being offered to
all customers across
Canada.
How the card works
"Our customers receive
an application from an
electrical distributor who's
a member of Copel, like our
firm, then they return it to
us and we submit it for ap-
proval." adds Mr. Camp-
bell. "Once they're approv-
ed, they simply present it
for payment for purchases
at any of our locations.
There's no sign-up or user
fee involved either," he
said.
"Every month, the
customer receives a state-
ment that lists the pur-
chases by vendor invoice
number, his purchase
order number and job
number. In short. the Af-
filiate card offers electrical
contractus and customers
alike a way to make the
purchasing process easier
and more east -efficient. He
gets the convenience of a
credit card, the accounting
trail of his purchases by job
numbers, and interest-free
use of cash for up to two
months. "
Different than consumer
credit cards
The card differs from the
consumer cards in the
detail provided by Affiliate
monthly statement, made
possible by the Royal
Bank's creation of a new
priority computer soft-
ware.
Statements show pur-
chases by vendor, vendor
invoice number, customer
purchase order number
and job number. Interest
on the Affiliate card only
applies on overdue in-
voices, not on the outstan-
ding balance.
For Copel members like
us, there are several
benefits," he adds, "We
deliver the goods today, get
paid the next day, the bank
assumes the receivables
and issues monthly
statements. We void the
chronic problems of slow -
pay accounts, we save on
monthly mailing costs, and
we have extra cash to
finance our own growth
whether it be facilities,
staff or inventory. You just
can't beat that."
Founded in 1919, In-
dependent Electric has
been located at 2956 Eglin-
ton Ave. E. for the past 30
years. The 15 employees
that form the staff of this
privately -owned Canadian
firm, service both the
residential and contractor
markets with an upstairs
showroom for the "do-it-
yourselfer" and a strong
level of industrial account
support.
aspects of the proposed
changes to the Act.
Specifically, the board is
concerned by a proposed
reporting mechanism that
would make it impossible
for individuals in defined
benefit pension plans to
know what their RRSP con-
tribution will be until advis-
ed by Revenue Canada, a
policy which willl cause
confusion and frustration
among members of such
plans.
The board suggests a
series of recommendations
which would address those
aspects of the proposals
which are flawed or overly
complex.
Ministry of Education
Learning Programs Reac-
tion ng
As a result of the April
1989 Throne Speech, the
Ontario government an-
nounced a major set of in-
itiatives to improve the
quality of education in On-
tario. The board feels that
business perspective input
is vital to the formulation
of education policy and pro-
gram priorities.
To this end, the board
Please Don't
Drink & Drive
proposes that one or two
Reaction Groups be struck
which would see the board
play a major role in deter-
mining the outcome of the
restructuring process.
Environmental Hearing
Process on Proposed Run-
ways at Pearson Airport
Recently, the federal
government appointed a
five -member panel to con-
duct hearings on the pro-
posal for two new runways
at Pearson Airport. The
board expresses the con-
cern that the process has
become unduly long and
protracted. The board
seeks assurance that the
Panel's report will be
issued this fall and that
Transport Canada will
become more active in its
support of the proposal.

Barbados Boasts Of
Great Diving Facilities
Barbados boasts spec-
tacular diving facilities
and attractions for novice
and more experienced
divers.
Underwater Barbados
features an abundance of
interesting marine life in-
cluding varieties of
tropical fish, all sizes of
turtles, stingrays, man-
tarays, barracudas and
beautiful coral formations.
For those with a passim
for wreck diving, Barbados
is considered to have the
best wreck diving attrac-
tions in the Caribbean.
The largest wreck is the
S.S. Stavronikita, a 108
metro long, ill-fated Greek
freighter sunk in 1978.
Situated 40 metres under
the sea, the Stavronikita is
bome to a wealth of marine
life.
Undoubtedly the most
popular wreck is the Ber-
wyn. Situated seven meths
underwater, this World
War I French tug is adorn-
ed with hard and soft cor-
als, brightly coloured
sponges and tube worms.
For those who prefer
shallower waters, other
wrecks to choose from in-
clude the Friars Craig, a 45
metro freighter located 15
metres under the sea and
the Pamir. a 46 metre
motor vessel.
Most diving is on the pro-
tected west coast. Water
temperatures average bet-
ween 70 degrees and 80
degrees. Visibility ranges
from 8D' - 200' but is entire-
ly dependent on currents
and winds.
For beginners, instruc-
tion and certification are
available in Naui. Acuc and

Denmark Celebrates Queen's 50th -Birthday
Queen Margrethe II of
Denmark, who celebrates
her 50th birthday on Apr.
16, is only the second
female ruler in an un-
broken succession of
monarchs going back more
than 1,000 years. The other
queen, Margrethe I,
naturally, died almost 600
years ago, in 1410, and in
the interval it has been all
males, every one of them
named either Christian or
Frederik.
Born exactly one week
after the Germans oc-
cupied Denmark, Queen
Margrethe ( Alexandrine
Thorhildu• Ingrid), known
to her friends and family as
Daisy, is a constitutional
monarch with more duties
than powers but she is no
figurehead. Both as Queen
and woman she is a distinct
individual, and one of
talent.
The young Margrethe at-
tended no less than five
universities and emerged,
as might be expected of a
future queen, speaking
Danish, Swedish, English
and French. But not so ex-
pected are some of her
other accomplishments
and interests.
Somewhere early on she
developed a life-long pas-
sion for archaeology and
went off on excavations to
Etruscan sites north of
Rome with her maternal

The Finance Committee's Goods and Services Tax hear-
ings are continuing at a slow pace. Since we were to have
completed the hearings by March 19th, a motion was put
forth setting the agenda for the next two weeks. The NDP
filibustered this motion and the Committee was forced to sit
for the next 31 hours. Obviously the NDP is not interested in
allowing the government to carry out its elected mandate
without needless stalling and interruptions.
Prime Minister Mulroney recently travelled south to pro-
mote added trade links with Mexico. With 85 million people
and a gross national product of $180 billion, Mexico is in-
deed a significant market. Although Mexico's economy
grew by only 0.7% between 1980-88, the government of
Harvard -educated president Carlos Salinas de Gotari has
inspired a renewed sense of confidence and excitement
throughout the world. This translates into increased
markets for Canadian -made goods, materials and exper-
tise.
On the same trip, Prime Minister Mulroney announced
that Canada will forgive $182 million in outstanding official
development assistance debts owed by Commonwealth

Report
from Norah Stoner
MPP Durham West
Premier David Peterson, Natural Resources Minister
Lyn McLeod and Minister of Transportation, William
Wrye, announced last week, that the Rouge River Valley
area of the Greater Toronto Area will be protected through
the establishment of a 10,500 acre park, the most amibitious
urban park project in Canada's history.
This is truly a significant undertaking. The initial 4,300
acre area of the proposed park is, by itself, large enough to
hold Vancouver's Stanley Park, Toronto's High Park and
Toronto Island Park, Montreal's Mount Royal Park and
New York's Central Park, with room to spare. And when
the Rouge Valley park is finally completed, it will be the
biggest urban park in Canada!
Jim Robb, Chairman of "Save the Rouge" was present at
the announcement and let out a loud cheer of approval.
This sensitive area includes a 1,200 acre (500 hectare)
area, including the Lower Rouge Marshes, and has been
identified as one of 39 critical unprotected natural areas in
the Carolinian Zone of Canada. The Carolinian Zone is
home to flora and fauna, such as the black maple and
sycamore, that are uncommon in Canada and are more
often found in the central United States.
The Rouge River area has had a rich and vaned past,
with intermittent human occupation spanning at least some
7,000 years.
The first accounts by explorers of the Rouge date from
1669. The Rouge was later used as a transportation route to
the north. The Rouge River was called "Keitchee Sepee"
(Great River) in a 1793 survey. The name "Rouge River"
appears in docuunents in 1801. The name comes from the
color given to the water by deposits of red clay on the river
bank. Several mills were established on the river in the last
half of the 19th century. Subdivisions began to take over ad-
jacent farmlands after 1945, but the Rouge watershed has
never been extensively developed. A large part of the pro-
posed park area is now farmed.
There are 31 potentiallv significant archaeological sites
in the area south of Steeles Avenue. including two that are
considered extremely significant: a 14th century Iroquoian
village site and a 17th century Seneca village site.
Many of the buildings built in the arra south of Steeles
Avenue in the 1800's are standing today. Eleven homes, a
church and a bridge have been identified as good examples
of the architectural heritage of the area. Six of these have
been designated or recommended for designation under the
Ontario Heritage Act. They include the Hillside Church - an
I= board -and -batten church in the Canadian Carpenters'
Gothic Style - and an 1857 stone Mennonite farmhouse.
We're preserving the Rouge Valley in perpetuity to en-
sure that the legacy left by those who came before us can be
shared by the generations that follow us." Premier David
Peterson said. "The step we are taking today will enrich the
greatest asset we possess - our quality of life."
The Ontario Government is donating an additional 1,600
acres ( 650 hectares) of land beyond its earlier contributions
for the park. U developed, the land would have an
estimated value of $1.1 billion. The federal government has
offered to contribute $10 million to the cost d the park.
The proposed park area includes a block of land that
stretches from Steeles Ave. south to Lake Ontario, and
from the west rim of the Rouge River valley to the
Scarborough -Pickering boundary. A small portion of the
park along the southeast border is in the Town of Pickering.
The land south of Steeles Avenue is 13 times the sine of
Toronto's High Park. North of Steeles Ave. the proposed
park area includes the valieylands of the Rouge River and
the Berczy, Bruce and Little Rouge creeks. These
valleylands are in the Regional Municipality of York.
Metropolitan Toronto has nominated 136 acres (52 hec-
tares) in the park reserve area as one of its options for an
interim landfill site. The proposed site would be subject to
stringent environmental approvals and a mandatory public
hearing. The site would be allowed only on the understan-
ding that this land will ultimately be returned to open space
use.
The Rouge area comprises a diverse combination of
natural communities, including forests, uplands, beaches,
streamside meadows, and marshes - much of it
undeveloped. Eighteen sites in the area south of Steeles
Avenue have been designated as environmentally, natural-
ly or scientifically significant, including habitat for rare
plant and animal species, such as the shy bulrush and the
red -shouldered hawk. More than 700 species of plants grow
in the area, including six that are provincially rare and 69
that are regionally rare.
Caribbean countries. In real terms, this initiative involves
a minimal cost to the Government of Canada because the
low interest rates and long repayment periods of the loans -
up to 50 years - reduces their real value on repayment to on-
ly 3 to 10 percent of their original value. Much of these loans
were negotiated by the previous Liberal government and
now we are acting as any smart accountant would in
writing off our bad debts. However, at the same time, this
initiative makes a significant contribution to reducing the
stock of debt of these countries.
Protesters have become as much a fixture of Parliament
as have the crocuses in the spring. However, an all -party
Commons committee grew concerned about demonstra-
tions blocking access on Parliament Hill. Over the last year
and a half, one protestor in particular has refused to allow
M.P.'s of all parties to enter the House without hurling in-
sults at them. Since he refused to obey new regulations
resulting from the Common's committee the protestor was
arrested.
