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

disintegrating social
fabric, and it has become
the key to cutting back on
other social costs - mental
$Mess. child care, criminal
reform, etc.
The provincial govern-
ment has for the 1990
budget mandated the addi-
tional payment of the
Employer Health Tax ($2.5
million) . partial payment
of pay qty 42. million),
additional premiums for
C.P.P., U.I.C., and
Workers' Compensation
41.1 million). 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

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

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.

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

'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.
Yours truly.

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. Waddington

Hydro wants to hear from Ontario
Ontario Hydro is encouraging Ontario residents to join
the utility in deciding the province's future electricity
plans, Hydro President and CEO Robert Franklin said
recently in releasing the corporation's 1989 annual report.
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.
Water Safety
In 32 percent of the deaths, the victim was known to have
been drinking alcoholic beverages.
Most aquatic accidental deaths occur in open water. (54%
in lakes and 23% in streams or rivers.)

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-

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

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

Mr. Jackson could be the

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

The memories flooded
back as we walked along
Augusta Avenue in Kens-

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.

tickets might not now be
available for the Elgin

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-

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.

Quebec over our schools,

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."

Health Notes
by C. Higbarn-Cook. *ar-
borough Division News.
MTACL. 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. Many are
holding jobs in multina-
tional companies. Some ex-
cel in music and arts,

Markham
Village
Festival
A visit to the Markham
Village Festival, June 15 to
17 in the charming Old
Village of Markham, is a
great way for families to
celebrate the beginning of
summer.
The 12th annual festival
promises to be bigger and
betterthan ever with
events geared to children
and adults of all ages.
Things get under way with
a Hoedown dance spon-
sored by CFGM Radio on
Friday night with 50% of
the proceeds being donated
to the Children's Wish
Foundation.
Most events are free and
include live performers, a
town criers' competition
and the wonderful
children's fun village at
Morgan Park, Markham's
Outdoor community centre.
Young cyclists are in-
vited to bring their
machines to the Bicycle
Roadeo in the park, spon-
sored by the Optimist Club.
Members of York Regional
Police will be on hand to
carry out safety checks and
offer safe riding tips.
Children can try out their
skills on a special obstacle
course and can also take
part in a bike decorating
contest.
The father and son bicy-
cle race, which takes place
Sunday afternoon on Main
Street, offers youngsters
receiving worldwide
acknowledgement of their
talents.

Community Day Camp
Several of the churches
in the Agincourt area are
planning on cooperating on
a Summer Day Camp pro-
gram in the summer of
1990.
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.

Scarborough Swim Club At Youth Cup
by Muriel Warden
Youth Cup II 1990 was a
slick, fast-moving opera-
tion out at the Etobicoke
Olympium this past week-
end, June 1st - 3rd. It had to
be, to move 735 swimmers
through 120 events! It was
a superb combined effort of
Scarborough Swim Club
and North York Aquatic
Club to run a smooth, class
A" competition. 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. There were 43
clubs represented in total
with teams from across
Canada and two squads
from the U.S.A.
Scarborough's finalists
(top 9) were Sarah Lynn
Twining, 12, Liz Warders 12,
Alison Jones 11, Laura
McGowan 12, Robin Elliott
12, Bob Petrof 12, Kerri
Ford 13, Giancarlo Jacob
13, Nenad Minic 13, Casey
Cheung 13, Bob Hayes 13,
and seniors Jana
Vordemberge, Megan
Wall, Heather Pahnateer,
Heather Johnson, Curt
Punchard, Marco and
Miguel Jacob. Sean Fer-
reira, Nick Bilyk, and
Brian Guernero.
Medal winners from
Scarborough were Sean
Perreira who placed 1st in
his 100 breaststroke, :fid in
Zoo breaststroke and won
the bronze for 50 freestyle.

Serving the Community Since 1950
freestyle, Kerri Ford won
bronze in the 13 & 14, 50
freestyle event for girls
and I,iz Warden was the 3rd
fastest 400 f[eestyler in 11
& 12, girls age group. Par-
ticularly pleasing to coach
Darin Muma was the 3rd
place finish of both his
senior girls and boys
freestyle relay teams. The
competition and depth of
talent from the visiting
teams were tough to beat.
Darin's girls - Megan Wall,
Jana Vordemberge,
Heather Palmateer and
Kern Ford are a young
senior squad and swam
very well to place 3rd. The
mens team was Marco
Jacob. Curt Punchard,
Nick Bilyk and Sean Fer-
reira. Another highlight for
Scarborough at this meet
was a fine swim in 200
breaststroke by Heather

to promote the develop-
ment of technology -related

tion survey conducted last

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

dustry, education and
government. featured a
panel discussion on "Tackl-
ing the Technology Gap".

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.
According to Art Willer,
President of Bytes of Lear-
ning and Chairman of the
YTA Education Committee

beginning of a series of ar-
tivities aimed at "Closing
the Technology Gap".
The York Technology
Association is a Markham
based non-profit associa-
tion that exists to act as a
catalyst to attract, grow
and serve the high-tech in-
dustry to the mutual
benefit of the industry and
the community.

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.

General Order T-5 covers

"Progess Report" and in-
vited comments from in-

ding has been used and the
board is concerned that
this may put new meaning
to some sections. The

Cunard Announces New Air/Sea Program
Cunard now offers a com-
prehensive AiriSea pro-
gram for Canadian
passengers, offering
significant savings and
convenient departures
from nine Canadian
gateway cities, it was an-
nounced recently by
Ronald A. 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. Some ex-
amples of how Canadian
travellers can save with
Cunard are listed here.

Italian design shops, relax

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.

on; from Calgary, Edmon-

plement.

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.

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.

Local Update:
Congratulations to both Ajax and Pickering McDonald's
restaurants. Their recent Ronald McDonald day was a huge
success. Over $5,000 was raised by the two restaurants to
help the paediatric ward of the Ajax Pickering Hospital. On
a national scale, more than 600 McDonald's restaurants
participated, raising over $1.1 million for children's pro-
jects
rojects across the country. Thank you to everyone who suis
ported the day. Your contribution was most welcome.
