Alan Foss) Reduced Provincial Funding Frustrates School Board Each year that The Durham Board of Educa- tion proceeds with the budget deliberations, the trustees become more frustrated with their in- ability to do more than react to provincial govern- ment initiatives, the cost of inflation, and society's changing needs and expec- tations. With the 1989 Budget, The Durham Board of Education became aware of the reduced provincial funding and this year it has reached an all time low of 40.5% on operating costs and 49.7% on the total cost of approv- ed capital projects. Rationalizing a tax in- crease on the basis of pro- vincial decreases sounds as though we're passing the buck, but trustees continue to be concerned that only 25% of our ratepayers are users of the system and yet all ratepayers must pay, even those on fixed in- comes. More than ever before, the delivery of education is more a Board of Education responsibility than a provincial one. Education has become the key to the competitive economy Canada requires, it has become the key to the future for many young peo- ple faced with a ordinators of Durham Region. c;o B. Weese, On- tario Ministry of Agriculture & Food. 234 King Street East, Bowman- ville, Ontario, LIC 1P5.

The total im- pact on the 1990 budget of these items is a 4% in- crease on the mill rate. The funding by the pro- vince for new school con- struction has been cut dramatically. Not only has the local share of capital projects been increased provincially from 25% to 40% but the number of school buildings which the province has granted ap- proval for this year will certainly hurt future budgets as the board at- tempts to either pay for new schools or readjust overcrowded schools and pay for more portables with increased maintenance and energy costs. In a presentation to the Provincial Conunittee on This Space Could Be Yours For $9 PER WEEK Finance, the Durham Board stated that, "it is well known for its lean and mean attitude towards spending. " Trustees are afraid, however, that they have lost control. An at- tempt to debenture a new secondary school was delayed this year in favour of internal financing, but with the present economic climate, debenturing may be the only way that the mill rate can be kept within reason. With society's changing needs and expectations in mind, The Durham Board of Education has seen the need to include social workers as support staff for elementary and secon- dary schools and made a pilot project a require- ment. In response to the in- creasing number of students leaving school early, a youth worker has been included in the SALEP program along with additional support staff for special education. In order to meet the needs of our students as they move into a com- puterized workforce, addi- tional funds were placed in- to Hi -Tech equipment and computer equipment at both secondary and elementary levels. PRINTING 683-1968 Sometimes to save dollars the board has to spend a few. In the 1990 Budget, a Custodian Train- ing Centre at a cost of $12,000, a route data techni- cian for transportation, a clerk of works for the con- struction of the new high school, public performance licensing for videos, a graphic artist, a workers' compensation coordinator will certainly be put to best advantage in saving the board dollars in a number of different areas. The Durham Board regrets that it has been unable to take advantage of aU ministry initiatives, but the class size guideline is far too costly for a board with little or no space for additional classes. During the last five years there has been a marked improvement in the care and maintenance of board facilities. To maintain the equity in its capital, The Durham Board has in- itiated a formula which re- quires that a percentage of the worth of our facilities will be set aside in the budget for improvements. This year with major con- straints on the budget, the board has not been able to reach that goal but has in- cluded $12.5 million in the Let's Kill The GST! 1990 of $M,187,M. As each year the funding of educa- tion becomes more a local responsibility than a pro- vincial one, budget deliberations become in- creasingly more difficult. The Finance Committee was unable to address all requests in the 1990 budget and removed approximate- ly $4.8 million from the first draft, applied against reserve funds $2.4 million in capital expenditures and internally financed $3.1 million for capital projects. The Durham Board of Education budget for 1990 represents an average of 14.78% increase to the local mill rates in Durham. T1 atees expressed grave concern over the impact this increase will have on ratepayers. yet felt they could not make further cuts without jeopardizing the quality education the Ihirham board provides for ( is students. Art Show The Pickering Arts Coun- rti is presenting Pickering artist Sheila Masters at the Wellness Clinic, ISM Dun- das St. E. Whitby from June 2 to July 3. Sheila works in water- colours, subject matter is mostly barns in the Picker- ing area and beautiful florals.

X rts... budget for that purpose. $3 million has also been in- cluded in the budget for the cast of the new secondary school in Pickering. The Finance Comnmittee was not able to address all requests in the 1990 Budget approximate- ly $4.8 miiliondollars from the original first draft of the budget applied $2.4 million in capital expen- ditures against reserve funds and internally financed $3.1 million for capital project. Although aware of the impact that a 14.78% increase on the mill rate can have on Durham taxpayers, the trustees feel the need to provide a strong supportive educational system for our students in Durham Region. The members of the Finance Committee ex- press their appreciation to all staff, who through their input or their direct par- ticipation in the process have recognized not only the needs of the board but also the need for restraint and reorganization with our continued lessening of provincial support. This Space Could Be Yours For $9 PER WEEK Page 2 THE NEWS POST Wed. June 6, 1990 Opinion a page for expression for you and us 'Financial Suffering by Bob Watson Well, we are hearing from the Bank of Canada's man in charge of our economy, Mr. Crow, and he expects to keep raising the bank rate in order to counteract the rise in infla- tion and when the GST comes, he'll keep raising the interest rates to fight the increase in the cost of living due to the GST. Now isn't that nice! We will get the acclaim of the inter- national authorities but in the meantime, no one will be buy- ing houses or cars and workers will be laid off who work for these areas of activity. Small businesses will die by the wayside as the bank rate kills them off and the public stops buying their products. Many entrepreneurs will have in- vested all of their assets into a business and in order to curb inflation along with Mr. Crow and Michael Wilson's ideas, will lase everything they own. Terrific! That is our- federal conservative government's concept of weathering an infla- tionary spiral. Small business doesn't need government handouts to stay alive. It only needs less government interference in the marketplace and a fair chance to fight the battle of the marketplace. Governments should be restricting the demands of their own departments which adds to the load of debt for the country. Even our Mr. Crow from the Bank of Canada took a hefty 20+% raise in pay recently - inflation doesn't ap- parently bother him .. personally! The concept of controlling a country's economy by mov- ing the bank rate up and down is not Mable because the rate of interest affects the whole business economy and does not necessarily• in our opinion• curb inflation. The government at Ottawa recently gave $580.000,000 to the Inuit Indians and is dishing out large amounts of money to groups of all kinds across the country. This is ridiculous waste of taxpayers' money - or should we say, taxpayers' debt, because we don't have the cash on hand to pay out these large amorous. If the cost of running the federal government was under close scrutiny at all times and grants to all groups were cur- tailed in order to deal with our national debt the problem of inflation could be handled. Government is too large and is overstaffed to handle the basic parts of the system. Now• even the new GST will require MW more people to handle the return of tax money to people after the tax has been col- lected from everyone. What kind of government is that' The answer is simple - a government witich is not econorruz- ing and is not concerned about the national debt. We believe that the bank rate should be lowered every week until it is down to 6 percent so that each and every Canadian can have a fighting chance to enjoy all the phases of otrr wonderful country, including a house and a car. And government debts and expenditures should be curtailed radically to allow for the lowering of the bank rate. Let's Do it, What About Quebec? Dear Editor: Premier Robert Bourassa of the Province of Quebec in response to the proposals of the Special Commons Commit- tee on Meech Lake Accord as reported to say "It is impor- tant that it be understood that we are the only majority French-speaking province in North America, that we have a legal system which is distinct from the one existing in Canada". How far does Mr. Bourassa want to take such a state- ment" tatement' If the minimal federal Canadian laws are not to be recognized by Quebec. it is then not a matter of Canada re- jecting Quebec it is Quebec rebelling against Canada. In how many ways sloes Mr. Bourassa say he is in favour of separation from Canada' Rebellion under any other cause than national is still rebellion. Canadians are more than glad to say there is room and accommodation within Canadian laws for diverse cultures and races and we are willing to look at any laws that may infringe on such rights. These rights should not be used as a false excuse to infringe and exclude all Canadian laws. An area without laws cannot be called a country. Democratic laws are an asset to be treasured.

Letter To The Editor Dear Sir: He: Cemetery Vandalism at Scarborough, England I am tracing my own family tree, which took me to Scar- borough's Martyr Road Cemetery shortly before Easter. My father's mother was from that town, as well as other ancestors. I was appalled at the condition of the cemetery; I have never seen worse. It has obviously been a very well- planned and expertly landscaped one at one time, but it is no longer in good order due to vandalism. Graves had been smashed, and headstones were strewn around. Some graves were just stumps: : it would be anyone's guess which headstones went with which stumps. The grave numbering system was not as well marked as the Whitby cemetery, which I also visited early April ( it had no vandalism). I had been warned not to visit Manor Road Cemetery. not only because of vandalism but also some female visitor to a grave had been raped. I would not be put off my visit by such stones. I Aw fortunate that the grave 1 was seeking ( this time) was not damaged (yet). probably because if was not large and prominent- It could do with cleaning up, yet 1 wonder if a grave in good order would be a good target for the vandals next fling. Upon my return to Canada, my mother sent me the Scar- borough Evening News reports of further vandalism. Although 1 do not have the dates, I suspect it would be around Easter weekend (by the dates on the back of the clippings 1. Easter was the week after 1 returned to Canada. English seaside towns get their first "wave" of visitors at Easter. plus schools are closed at that time. The reason that I am sending this to you is because there may be people living in Scarborough. Ontario, with ancestors and roots in Scarborough, England, who have an interest in graves of their ancestors, as I do. It is unsettling to be living here and wondering if the graves will be in the same condition as one last saw them. The Scarborough Police do not seem to be able to do anything about it, or control vandalism. I spoke to the Toronto Police and asked them why they can bring ( some ) culprits to justice for the recent vandalism we had in Toron- to and I was told that was a close knit community here and people will talk to the police. Apparently the British police do not have such cooperation these days. I spoke to an insurance company, and as far as we can determine the only people who can clean up, or pay for the clean up, are the relatives of the deceased. This means if we do not organize our own clean up, nobody else will. Today's news brought a story of vandalism in a Paris, France, Jewish graveyard. I find it strange the story must be about a Jewish graveyard to get top priority in the news - what about the regular cemeteries' As far as I know, every religion gets buried in city cemeteries in England - Yours truly, S.

The report reviews operations in 1989 and focuses on choices that must be made soon to be able to meet the elec- tricity requirements of Ontario's next generations. "Last year Hydro released its plan for meeting electrici- ty demand over the next 25 years in the report **Providing the Balance of Power", said Franklin. "In the recommen- dations of the plan. Hydro tries to strike a balance between the growing electricity needs of our customers and the resources available to meet them, between the economic operation of Hydro's system and environmental protection, and between measures to use less electricity and mdacures to produce more as it's needed," Franklin says. Hydro is now in the process of presenting the proposed plan to the Ontario public, and preparations have begun for the plan to be reviewed by an Ontario Environmental Assessment Board. The public will have a chance during Board hearings to thoroughly question Hydro's plan. In fact. over 200 groups and individuals have already in- dicated interest in making submissions to the Hearings Board. In 1989, electricity use in Ontario continued to grow. last year electricity demand increased five percent over the year before. making it the seventh consecutive year of growth in electricity use. Ninety-five percent of the 140.8 million megawatt -tours of electricity supplied during the year was generated in On- tario. Hydro's nuclear stations produced 46 percent of the power generated for Ontario's 3.5 million electricity users, and hydro -electric stations produced 24 percent. The coal and oil -fined stations generated 25 percent of the power dur- ing the year, while acid gas emissions from these stations were 14 percent below the provincial guideline. The balance of power supplied to Ontario, over seven million megawatt -hours, was purchased from utilities in neighbouring Canadian provinces and United States. Hydro's total revenues for 1989 came to $6.3 billion and net income amounted to $699 million. Investment in fixed assets during 19139 totalled almost $3.1 billion, bringing total assets of the corporation to more than $36 billion. Dialysis Services Expanded Nin hospitals across the province, including The Toronto Hospital and the Wellesley Hospital, will receive a total of $5,093,200 to expand their dialysis services, Health Minister Elinor Caplan has announced.

June 6, 1990 Bill Watt's Worlds ON RECORD: Most of us who scratch out a more or less living in the arts do so not just for love of them but also because we are blessed/ cursed with an ego that desires/demands ex- pression either in perfor- rnance or in commentary upon the performances of others. It goes without saying -that your correspondent enjoys what we consider the privilege of being asked our opinion on current of- ferings from the world of the performing arts. The pleasure is doubled when our self-confessed naive ex- pertise is specifically re- q All of which foregoing br- ings us to living Room!! by Richard X. Heyman (not to be confused with Richard Hayman, ar- ranger for the Boston Pops). Steve Waxman of Attic Records has sent us both a C. D. and cassette for our consideration and com- ment. Well, right at the outset we admit being over- whelmed by the sheer talent of young Mr. Heyman. On this album, not only has he written all the songs, he sings all of them and plays all the in- struments through the still. to me, magic of overdubb- ing. Quite a tour de force but is it all worthwhile? Un, questionably. All of the selections are pleasurable, sonic more so than others. Oh No. Elaine Is like early Beatles with piano in cascading dimi- nuendo and slow rise glissade. Collides rather reminds one of the Everly Brothers' Poor Jennie. Deep Down In My Heart features some funky piano reminiscent of golden nights at the old Onyx Club. Local Paper has a great booting finish. We hasten to add that Mr. Heyman is not a revivalist; he is a musician who recognizes and loving- ly plays music of a timeless effect and impact. Okay, Steverino? Sunshine Records of Win- nipeg have sent along Love, Lust and Longing by Tom Jackson who is described as a Canadian Native Recording artist. We would rather that he be described as a native In- dian who sings but more about that later. Mr. Jackson has a voice that is somewhere between that of a young Johnny Cash and Ernie Ford and a delivery like that of Stom- pin' Tom Connors. He has written and sings all of the songs on the album and they are quite good. They are however esoteric and dwell on the life style of native Indians. There's nothing the matter with that but there is no broad appeal in them. We suggest that the only cut that might make air play -all are conveniently short -is Pool Player featur- ing some mean harmonica.

Can You Hear the One You Love is more suitable for fore play than air play and Do Me Right is too raunchy even for F.M. Mr. Jackson could be the next big Canadian country and western star but he won't be if he continues to perform in his chosen man- ner and with his chosen material. We intend no pun in stating that there should be no reservation about Tom Jackson. Please listen to Love, Lust and Longing; see if you agree with us. IN THE CLUBS: Miss Sam Brown ap- peared recently at Club Bluenote to introduce some songs from her latest album, April Wine (A. & M. ). She is a real belter. In fact, while talking to her after her strenuous workout -can't really call it anything but -we suggested some art work for her next album. We suggested she appear on the cover in a military tunic, suitably d6coiletE of corse, com- plete with a Sam Broom belt. The album would be titled Sam Brown belts. Well, it seemed clever to us at the time. Anyway, we recommend a listen to this gutsy little English sparrow. She sings with a power that ap- proaches frenzy, so much frenzy indeed that expres- sion and emotion are sur- rendered to that same raw power. For those who like that kind of vocalizing however, she is a raw find. Unfortunately, the qualities that will make her a mega star were hard to detect in the less than friendly surroundings of The Bluenote. Honestly, she sounded rather more like a lady with a burr in- side her girdle than one with a message of passion Might suggest, too. that unless she husbands her resources she could well end up using ether all too soon and damagingly so.

The memories flooded back as we walked along Augusta Avenue in Kens- ington Market on a recent hot evening to see Dr. Lim- bo. When our children were very young we used to take ahem to the market during the summer months to ex- perience the sights, sounds and foods of somewhere else than safe (then!) .suburbia. Kensington might still qualify as mildly exotic but it has changed and the change is nowhere more evident than at Sibony. It's a jazz club with a decor best and most charitably described as second story gunge. But, oh my, the music. Dr. limbo's curtain time fell victim to a scheduling glitch and we were unable to see him because of the lateness of the hour. We were able, however, to watch and listen to the warm up band. Big Sugar. It's well named. The amount of energy us- ed could probably fight up a small community and in the main transmutes into musical enjoyment. The band is actually a trio of two guitars and drummer and each musician is talented- Now alentedNow we should mention that the energy to which we refer is not just the effort of the musicians though it is substantial. No, we refer to the amount of electrical energy that is wasted in cranking up the scud to such a volume that one could feel the stomach heaving, rather much in the manner known to those who have served in the ar- tillery. And the drummer! Sure- ly someone could tell him that the best drummer is the one who is least notic- ed. It isn't necessary to beat the bell out of the drums just to announce one's presence. We left Sibony with a cassette of Dr. Limbo's latest and our review of it will follow soonest. Tonight we're at The Dia- mond to bear Celine Dion prior to her debut at On- tario Place Fonum on Fri- day. Wonder if we should dig out the old roller skates. ON THE HORIZON: One hates to be a gloomy prophet but it appears tickets might not now be available for the Elgin Theatre presentation of King Lear starring Ken- neth Branagh, the actor nominated for this year's Academy Award for his performance in and as Henry V. Our last advice was that 80% of the tickets had already been sold and the balance were selling brisk- ly. Even so, it's worth one's effort to try for seating. Mr. Branagh is already be- ing suggested as the next Olivier. Personally, we think that's being too enthusiastic -an Olivier does not come along more than once in a century -but he is undeniably and huge- ly talented.

( Photo - Bob Watson) Collegiates Support French Culture With a ceremonial flag - raising on Wed. June 6. students and staff at Sir Wilfrid Laurier C.1. and Sir Oliver Mowat C.I. will demonstrate support for French culture. The Quebec flag will be raised at both schools that day. with a special ceremony marking the oc- casion at 10 a.m. at Laurier C.I. Staff and students will be joined by the official representatives from the Scarborough Board of Education. A bilingual translator will be available. "This is a gesture of friendship and reconcilia- tion at a time of national crisis," says Ion Quinlan of the history department at Mowat C.1. "Flags are to be hoisted and flown with pride and respect - they are not to be trampled upon. They are a unique symbol of a people's distinctive identity and should inspire generosity and respect... Mr. Quinlan and Dave Myrvold of Laurier C. L.'s History department feel that the two schools are the ideal locations for this gesture, since they are named after two of Canada's founding leaders. Sir Oliver Mowat, a Father of Confederation and Premier of Ontario, was a champion of provincial rights. Sir Wilfrid Laurier, the eloquent Premier of Quebec, urged harmony and understanding bet- ween the French and English in Canada. The teachers point out that they are not trying to block, amend, or support the Meech Lake Accord. They merely hope to generate more respect and tolerance during the na- tional constitutional debate. "We hope the citizens of Quebec will know that the vast majority of Canadians appreciate, respect and even love them and their contribution to a great country," says Mr. Quinlan. By raising the flag of Quebec over our schools, we hope to raise the level of discussion on our future to one of reason and ctlmlpas- Mr. Myrvold feel they sion.

United Church Conference Calls For Improved Relations Delegates to the United Church's Toronto Con- ference annual meeting have called for improved relations between English and French people within Ontario. Meeting in Picker- ing May 25.27. the 500 delegates registered strong disapproval of English - only by-laws. The conference "deplores all acts . that divide communities and in- cite intolerance between French and English com- munities in Ontario," said a resolution presented by Rev. John Lawson, minister at Tottenham, Ont. The conference agreed to urge all church members to be "agents of healing and reconciliation between our French and English communities at this critical time in the history of our country." Delegates also con- sidered the Meech Lake constitutional situation and urged members to pray for healing and recon- ciliation in Canada.. in our time of national crisis." The conference meeting emphasized the United Church's support of a "strong federal system, in which resources of the ad- vantaged areas help meet the needs of disadvantaged regions in Canada." In other business, the conference voted to in- crease the amount of staff time allocated to ministry with children and youth, and to ethnic people within the Toronto Conference. "We are in a crisis arising from the lack of involve- ment and participation of children and youth in our congregations and Murch courts, a motion read. While conference defeated MLS for specific standards of sexual or moral conduct for the church's ministers, it did not do away with stan- dards, says Rev. David McKane. newly -installed president. "All Christian are called to live a life of faithfulness," said McKane. -There are stan- dards, and Jesus Christ is surely the standard. We in- terpret that standard through our own ex- perience of the world and the faith."

May t!!lit Down Syndrome is the most common of chromosomal anomalies. Presence of an extra chromosome from either the egg or the sperm gives an Infant 47 chromosomes. This results in developmen- tal delay, some unique physical features and an in- creased glance for some health conditions. About one third of all children with Down Syn- drome have congenital heart disease. Many are prone to increased respiratory infections. Some experience visual problems, hearing deficits or thyroid dysfunction. The chance of Down Syn- drome occurring in the general population is one in every 650.750 live births. Eighty percent of all babies born with Down Syndrome are born to mothers under the age of 35 years, although it is known that the chance increases with maternal age. For women over 35, the risk of having a child with Down Syndrome is one in 350. At age 40 the risk in- creases to one in 100 births having Down Syndrome. At age 45 the risk becomes ap- proximately one in 25. Since many are postponing parenting until the fourth decade of life, the in- cidence of Down Syndrome is expected to increase. Many children with Down Syndrome are per- forming at levels undream- ed of in years past. A young man has his driver's licence, young people are graduating from high school with vocational diplomas.

First Alliance Church has run a Summer Day Camp for the past three or four years with con- siderable success. There are many children in the neighbourhood who are out of school and need care during the summer. At First Alliance a fre- quent question has been "Why doesn't the camp run for a longer period' With this idea in mind four of the churches in the area are planning on cooperating this summer. The schedule is as follows: July 2 to 13, Day Camp, First Alliance Church, contact Nancy Black: July 16 to 20, Music Camp, First Alliance Church, contact Nancy Black: July 23 to Z7. Day Camp, Wesley Chapel. con- tact Maryann Buffam: Ju- ly 30 to Aug. 10, Day Camp, Bridlewood Presbyterian Church, contact Dr. Iran MacDougall: Aug. 13 to 17, Day Camp, Bridletown Park Church, contact Rev. Tim Cole. The format of the camps will be a Vacation Bible School program in the fore- noon with outings to parks etc. in the afternoons. Ten- tatively there will be a full day outing for one day each week. The age range will be for children from kindergarten age through grade six. Children will bring their own lunches and the chur- ches will provide a snack both morning and after noon. The day will run from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. with ex- tended care to 6 p.m. for children who require it. The tentative cost of the camp will be $70 per child for a two week period. A se- cond child from the same family will be charged $50. For a single week the charge will be $40 for the first child and $30 for a se- cond child from the same family. New On -Line Data Metro Toronto's Com- munity Information Centre (Metro CIC) will officially open its new automated data base on June 11 at 590 Jarvis St., fifth floor. This automated data base will provide counsellors on the CIC's in- quiry line with immediate on-line access to informa- tion on virtually every aspect of health and social sevices in the Metro Toron- to community, allowing the counsellors to spend more time discussing callers' needs. For many people, Metro CIC is a lifeline to services and programs ranging from emergency housing and food to advice on child care and seniors' home help. The new data base, coupled with the CIC's re- cent acquisition of a state- of-the-art telephone system, will enable counsellors to provide bet- ter service to more people than ever before. Metro CIC - the largest of 74 such centres in Ontario - is part of On-line Ontario, a sophisticated province - wide network of 45 com- munity information cen- tres electronically linked to share information. the Association of Community Information Centres in On- tario (ACICO) is develop- ing the network, with the generous support of the Trillium Foundation. Fun- ding for Metro Toronto CIC's participation in On- line Ontario came from the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto, the Ontario Ministry of CW lure and Communication and ACICO. As a regional centre. Metro CIC will share data electronically with other community information centres in the Metro Toron- to area. The local CICs may then add information about services and pro- grams in their own neighborhoods, giving residents of Metro Toronto complete access to infor- mation ranging from Metro -wide services to more specialized neighborhood services.

The races were nus with preci- sion from both ends of the 50 metre pool with boys events taking off as the girls were finishing the last lap of their swims. It was a study in cooperation from swimmers and coaches, the multitude of officials, the wonderful ladies who kept the food and coffee in great supply and the back room boys who run the whole show. North York's power horse of 91 swimmers won the rneet but Etobicoke with 56 entrants, the col- ourful Gator Swim Club from Boston with 52, a Hamilton Team of 46 and Scarborough's 27 swim- mers certainly made the competition unpredictable and exciting.

Gaining The Edge Pian At YTA The York Technology Association has presented `Gaining The Edge', a plan to promote the develop- ment of technology -related skills among Canadians, at its monthly luncheon.

The plan sets out the association's position on technology skills develop- ment and emphasizes the need for more industry iri- volvement in education especially at the elemen- tary and secondary school levels. The luncheon which was attended by over 120 representatives of in- dustry, education and government. featured a panel discussion on "Tackl- ing the Technology Gap". Panel participants were Wally Beevor, Assistant Deputy Minister of Educa- tion, Esther Ke". Nrector of Human Resources But- terworths Canada, and Hery Dejordy, En- trepreneur and Columnist for the Toronto Star.

The Ontario Automobile Insurance Board recently invited comments on draft ADR procedural rules and regulations under Bill 68. In response, the board commends the efforts of the Ontario Automobile in- surance board in proposing procedural rules and regulations in a simplified format. The board recom- nioends that the standards of fairness for hearings held and decisions made pursuant to the procedural rules and regulations should be consistent with the Statutory Powers Pro- cedure Act.

FEDERAL BUDGET 1990 Federal Post -Budget Submission While expressing its sup- port for the federal govern- ment's initiatives in the areas of privatization, downsizing of the civil ser- vice, rationalization of a number of government pro- grams and the reduction of subsidies to business. The board also expresses its "profound disappointment at the overall superficial and piecemeal approach to expenditure control coir tained in the budget". The board fails the budget on three counts: the lack of significant cuts in program spending, the shifting of program respon- sibility to other levels of government, and the lack of a credible multi-year framwork for fiscal reform. ..Announced 'savings' of $2.8 billion out of planned expenditures of $147.8 billion look very superficial indeed when stacked up against a national debt fast approaching $400 billion.. the board notes. The board reiterates its ongoing concern that the only hope to achieve substantial year -over -year reductions in the deficit is a "complete re -think of social program delivery in Canada" so as to eliminate the one-third of public funds that is provided to Canadians who do not need such assistance. DISTRIBUTION OF GOODS Railway Limited Liability There are attachments to the Nat onal Transporta- tion Act, 1987 called "General Orders". General Order T-5 covers railway traffic liability regulations. The National Transpertation Agency is renewing General Order T-5 and has circulated a "Progess Report" and in- vited comments from in- terested parties. New wor- ding has been used and the board is concerned that this may put new meaning to some sections. The board is also concerned about the lack of respon- sibility on the part of the railways in the event that they divert shipments via a water mode.

Santangelo, Senior Vice President of Corporate and Marketing Communications. The Canadian program is as comprehensive as the Air/Sea program for the United States. Greatly expanded from past years, Cunard's new across -the -nation matrix of Canadian departure points enables passengers to fly either free or at greatly reduced rates from Toron- to, Montreal, Ottawa, Calgary, Winnipeg, Ed- monton, Vancouver, Halifax and St. John, N.B. This represents an in- crease of six cities, which have been added to Toron- to. Montreal, and Van- couver. "Cunard's Air Sea pro- gram is the most widespread and beneficial in the industry," said San- tangelo. "And the expanse of this program throughout Canada indicates the grow- ing importance of this market to Cunard.'. Cunard's fleet of seven ships calls on more ports than any other cruise line in the world. Ibis year alone, Cunard's itineraries include 305 ports of call. and its Air Sea program makes even the most dis- tant point economical to reach for passengers cruis- ing with Cunard.

Montreal, Ot- tawa and Toronto enjoy free air transportation when joining Vistafjord for her voyages in the Polyne- sian Circle, Caribbean and Panama Canal, or tran- satlantic crossings. On Vistatjord's Europe programs, travellers from Montreal, Ottawa and Toronto fly free, while those originating in Win- slopping mall), and the large, vibrant community centred around Spadina and Dundas St. West. Fan- tastic restaurants and fascinating stopping. Corso Italia: Metro Toronto has the largest Italian population of any city outside of Italy. and the community is focused around the Corso Italia. Stop in to high-tech Italian design shops, relax over authentic gelati, and order up a pasta feast at any one of the wonderful Italian restaurants. Greektown : On Danforth Ave. (Chester subway stop), you'll think you've journeyed to Greece, because the streetsigns are in Greek, the restaurants feature shish kebobs and all things Greek, and the ambiance is definitely dif- ferent. If you don't have an appetite when you arrive, a walk down the Danforth will change that very quickly. nipeg: pay just a $250 add- on; from Calgary, Edmon- ton and Vancouver, the add-on is $350. Canadian add-ons are no different than for those of U.S. passengers who pay a sup- plement. Vistafjord is among the few cruise ships awarded the Ultra Deluxe rating from World Ocean and Cruise Liner Society, and is rated the highest among cruise ships in the world by the Berlitz 1990 Complete Handbook to Cruising. Vistafjord offers an elegant, classic cruise ex - rce with the ultimate personalized service, spacious accommodations and world-class, single - seating dining. Twenty-five luxury suites feature private balconies and special touches such as plush bathrobes, com- plimentary champagne and fruit baskets. Sagaf ford In 1991, Sajafjord offers air service from Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver, as well as four additional Canadian gateways - Calgary, Edmonton, Win- nipeg and Ottawa. Cana- dian passengers fly free from these cities, when booked on Sagafjord's voyages in Alaska, New England, Hawaii, Carib- bean'Bermuda and Panama Canal: Coastal Programs. �Sagafjord is a three -time winner of the "Ship of the Year" award from the World Ocean and Cruise Liner Society.

BLOCK PARENTS Canada Trust has put out an informative pamphlet on the Block Parent Program that I picked tip at the Pickering library. A Block Parent is any responsible adult who cares enough about the well being of children and other persons to volunteer his or her home as a safe refuge when a need arises. A Blick Parent sign in the window lets children in distress know that a Block Parent is horse to provide a safe haven. And even when there is no cause for concern. the Block Parent sign can act as a deterrent to potential of- fenders who can quickly conclude that the neighbourhood has its own safety support system. If you are interested in being a Block Parent, pick up one of the brochures, fill it out and mail or bring it to your nearest Mementary School. your police force or the manager at any office of Canada 'rust Realtor.

Queen's Park Report ham Norah Stoner MPP Durham West The Ontario Government recently announced the crea- tion of a non-profit foundation, Trees Ontario, to help con ppoorations, groups and individuals who want to plant trees. Trees Ontario will ensure that trees are planted properly and are tended so they will survive. Individuals, groups or corporations that want to plant trees will contact Trees Ontario. The foundation will help design a project that will ensure these trees continue to thrive. Natural Resources Minister, Lyn McLeod, said "A grow- ing number of individuals and corporations in Ontario want to plant trees. My Ministry has received a tide of requests in recent months. Few other resources contribute more to our well-being and comfort. Trees consume carbon dioxide and give back oxygen. They shelter and feed wildlife, pre- vent soil erosion, and provide raw materials for a tremen- dous range of products - from book paper to baseball bats, toothpicks to turpentine." This new foundation is a co-operative venture involving the Ontario Forestry Association and the Ministry of Natural Resoti ces. The association will provide forestry expertise and administative support; the ministry will sup- port Trees Ontario until the foundation attracts corporate funding and can become independent. Guiding the founda- tion will be a board of trustees made up of people drawn from Ontario's leading conservation agencies. Mr. Thor Eaton is the honourary chairman of Trees Ontario and Mr. Robert Staley is the President of the Ontario Forestry Association. Almost any sine of project can be accommodated. The foundation will then help to arrange for enough community volunteers to plant the trees. and afterward, arrange for regular inspections and tending. Sponsoring a tree is like giving the environn►ent a gift that keeps giving back for a hundred years or more." said Minister of Natural Resources, Lyn Mcleod. "The efforts of the foundation will be a welcome supplement to the ex- isting reforestation efforts of the Ministry of Natural Resources, which last year undertook the lamest forest management program in the history of Ontario. This year, the Ministry of Natural Resources has set aside 500,000 trees for planting by Trees Ontario. Within a few years, the foundation should be helping Ontarians plant more than five million trees annually. Thousands of people and many corporations are expected to get involved. "Mani corporate leaders want to offer environmental li adership. These companies are sincerely concerned and are doing something about it. However, these people are not foresters. To succeed, they will need additional help and ex- pertise. Already groups such as Trees for Today and Tornorrow, and Friends of the Faith, have expressed an in- terest in providing this service. The demand has been over- whelming," said Mrs. McLeod.
