Durham Education Highlights O'Neill Teams Capture First and Fourth is Academic Decathlon Beryl Dekoker, who along with fellow teacher Lorraine Banks coached the two O'Neill C.V.I. teams entered in the Eastern finals of the Academic Decathlon, was present to advise trustees of the event. The Decathlon was held Sat. Feb. 23 at O'Neill C.V.I_ and teams from across the province were entered in the com- petition. Each team was made up of 3 A-level students, 3 B -level students and 3 C -level students. Two members of the school's senior team, Chris Ritskes and Sunita Ram- sarren, were on hand to tell trustees of the activities. Members were required to compete in 10 events such as written tests, essay writing and impromptu public speaking. This was followed by a Super Quiz on the exploration of space in which all the students par- ticipated. The senior and junior teams from O'Neill placed first and fourth respective- ly in the overall competi- tion and will proceed to Alberta in April for the Canadian Academic Decathlon. Beryl Dekoker thanked the board for its support of this relatively new event and thanked all those who acted as judges on Saturday. Trustees in turn congratulated the students and commended both Beryl and Lorraine Banks for their time spent coaching the students each Thursday afternoon since last October. Board Makes Exce�ioa To Policy Trustees approved a mo- tion to adopt an employee purchase program through I.B.M. and Computerland which would allow employees to buy computer equipment at considerable savings and finance their purchase through payroll deductions at the board. The program, which would be operated at no cost to the board, would be an ex- ception to Board Policy No.3314 which does not allow employees to pur- chase through the board any materials for their own use. Further information about the program will be forwarded to employees in the near future.

Morgan has not been pre- sent on Pickering Council, or at the region since coun- cil meetings resumed after the Christmas break. The press release, read in council chambers by Mayor Arthtus, was the first time Morgan's absenteeism had been ad- dressed in the two months she has been away. She ex- pressed her thanks to the residents for extending their, "best wishes and concern for her health" PRINTING � 4oK OFFKF CEArTTRE 683-1968 however, was not sure when she could resume her duties. Councillor Morgan was required to have her absenteeism authorized by council. This allows her seat to remain vacant until Apr. 1 without obligation to have the position filled at the region. Councillor Dickerson in- dicted that he was unable to support the authoriza- tion. "There is an obliga- tion to the residents and this corporation" and remarked that, "if she is unable to attend regional council, we should know now." Council did approve her absenteeism, however, it was not unanimous as Mayor Arthurs had hoped. Both Councillors Dickerson and Johnson voted against the authorization resulting in Johnson expressing his interest in her seat. He claims his constituents are concerned with the lack of representation at the Ward Two Councillor, Doug Dickerson were serv- ed legal papers at the town hall on Mon. Mar. 4. Councillor Kip Van Kempen issued a press release which detailed his position regarding the law suit towards the two coun- cillors. However, discussion of the law suit stayed out of the town's council chamber. Only near the meeting's conclusion was the law suit referred to causing. Councillors Bren- ner and Dickerson to declare a conflict of in- terest when Councillor Johnson successfully had a motion passed to rescind the freeze on Councillor Van Kempen's com- munication budget. Councillors Brenner, Dickerson and Johnson had imposed the freeze at the Feb. 4th meeting when the councillors bad accused Van Kempen, amongst other things, of "reckless spending... The statement :s one of several that has precipitated this lawsuit. Councillor Van Kempen's typed statement to the press, illustrated how his family and business had been hurt by the "untrue remarks" that were directed at him on the Feb_ 4th council meeting. "It is abuse of the democratic process and the position of councillors to make such statements with the sole intent to damage another person's reputa- tion without basis or fact," he said. A condition of Van Kempen's law suit cites that, any money received over and above his legal costs will be donated to charity. 2nd.

March 13, 1991 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Concerned Taxpayer Dear Sir: Each year milliortc of taxed dollars are being allocated to the Immigration and Refugee System. This is of a major concern to me as a Canadian citizen and a taxpayer. I am fully aware of the tremendous need for immigrants in Canada to strengthen the economy as well as insurance for tomorrows generation when mandatory retirement comes into play. Moreorless, immigrants will keep Canada competitive with foreign markets. The Minister of Employ- ment and Immigration Canada, Barbara McDougall, has increased the 1969 quota for new immigrants under the guidance of Finance Minister Micheal Wilson from 175,000 to 250.000 in 1990-1991 and I support this optimistically. What concerns me greatly, is the process of the backlog clearance, the determination process, applicants with criminal records gaining entry. A.I.D.S. testing not being administered to potential residents, the removal process not being reinforced and claimants immigrants standard of living being maintained by the welfare system. As it is already our system faces many changes and diversities I would like to know what measures or precau- tions are being taken to alleviate the over spending of tax dollars and address these concerns'' I thank -you kindly for taking the time to read this letter and any suggestion you may have. I would consider helpful in this matter. Yours truly. Concerned Citizen Wants Postcards Dear Editor: I am a fifth Grader and live in Catskill, NY U.S.A. which is a town on the Hudson River.

N.Y 12414 Exercise In Hypocrisy Prime Minister Mulroney's latest budget can fairly be described as an exercise in hypocrisy of truly Oiyngxan proportions. Mr. Mulroney's budget declares that in these tough economic times. all Canadians will have to "share the burden make "sacrifices". be "honest with ourselves.. and show "patience and restraint" and "self discipline". Mr. Mulroney's budget says that "politicians... must demonstrate leadership". Some politicians. Some leadership. Despite the announced spending freezes and cutbacks. Mr. Mulroney has decided that Members of Parliament will keep their scandalous. gold-plated pension pian. Under this plan, after only six years in office, MPs qualify for a pension for life, regardless of their age, with unlimited protection against inflation. An MP retiring at age 31 could easily collect lifetime pension payouts of more than $2 million. Canada needs a political leafier who leads by example. Instead, Mr. Mulroney leadership amounts to telling Cana- dians. "Do as I say --not as I do". We would urge any of voter readers, who are angered as we are by this outrageous double standard, to telephone Prime Minister Mulroney's office directly and tell him directly what they think of his "leadership' Mr. Mulroney's office number is 613-992-4211.

Mainstream Canada A Crow -like swan -dive By Terry O'Shaughnessv After many months of stub- bornly high interest rates, Cana- dians are viewing the recent slide in the trend -setting Bank of Canada rate in a relieved manner. But many are neverthe- less skeptical, and others say it's simply too little, too late. According to Catherine Swift, vice president of research and chief economist for the Canadian Federation of Inde- pendent Business, the timing and speed of the recent down- ward trend is more than a little suspicious. "There's no doubt," Swift says, "that Canadians are feeling extremely mistrustful right now. One view is that the federal government, anxious to appease a hostile electorate, decided to reverse its high interest tate policy in an attempt to offer relief to consumers and businesses alike. "And although the recent drop in interest rates is, without a doubt, the best economic news Canadians have had in quite some tune, the fact that they are coming down so precipitously after staying at an unnaturally high level for so long it certainly cause for concern. Swift says that Wilson's first recession budget (released in late February) may provide a partial explanation - "The sudden decline in interest rates so close to this most recent budget was no coincidence. The fact is, the :Mulroney government is head- ing into the second half of its mandate and that means that they will be striving to offer up as much good trews as possible before the next federal election in two years time. The upside for small business owners and consumers is lower interest rates: however the bad news is that for many, the interest -rate relief is long-overduc, if not too late." During the past year of rapidly -climbing interest rates, both Wilson and Bank of Canada Governor John Crow were busy defending the damag- ing policy under the excuse of "inflation control". And while public criticism against Crow's policy mounted, possibly the most stinging charge came from the suspicion that high interest rates were motivated by Crow's obsession to cool southern Ontario's overheated economy. Any examination of the stagger- ing level of bankruptcies—both business and personal—high- lights the devastating effect of Crow's reign as the Bank of Canada boss. Swift also points out that Wilson's subsequent gloating that the high interest -rate policy is responsible for successfully bringing the inflation rate tinder control is hollow indeed Instead, she says, it is the poor state of the economy which is "helping" to control inflation. "In this period of muted economic growth and drasti- cally reduced consumer spend- ing, the current level of inflation is being fuelled primarily by the ill-advised and ill-timed introduction of the Goods and Services Tax. The real villain is Canada's huge federal deficit which has been financed by the higher rates. In the meantime. serious damage has been done to thousands of small busi- nesses across the country" Swift says the good news is that the current lowering of interest rates should continue and become increasingly stable in the months ahead. As for the bad news. she says "the dollar is as high as ever and Canadian exporters are still suffering on that front. Irrelevant, in any event, for thousands of individ- uals who have been driven into bankruptcy by months of sky- high interest rates." cc,e geop,.. seov" Here and There Hydro To Pay More For Private Power Hydro will kxrease the price it pays private power pro- ducers for electricity from new facilities that generate up to five megawatts. The purchase rate is based on the costs Hydro avoids by not having to produce an equal amount of power. The new rate is an increase of nine percent over the 1990 standard rate and will apply to new projects coming into service in 1991. An additional 10 percent premium will app- ly for new purchases of power supplied by renewable energy (such as falling water) and high efficiency energy conversion projects. Ibis premium demonstrates Hydro's preference for projects using renewable energy. Hydro increased by 30 percent its forecast of the future contribution of private power. By the year 2000, private sources are expected to supply 2,100 megawatts for sale to Hydro - an amount equal to the energy from four reactors at the Pickering Nuclear Generating Station. Eliminate VC? Recent reports that the Government plans to eliminate the Victoria Cross as Canada's premier gallantry award cannot fail to be upsetting to all Canadians, and insulting riot only to our veterans, but also to the brave young men and women who are serving in the Persian Gulf. From 1972, decorations and awards have been "Canadianized" - a good policy. But in 1967, Prime Minister Mulroney admitted that he did recognize the special place of the V.C., saying: "I have therefore asked officials to review the possibility of `Canadianizing' the Victoria Cross ... this...would reconcile two significant objectives: the continued development of a truly Canadian system of honours, and the maintenance of an important link with our military and Commonwealth heritage." What a proud heritage that is! Established in 1856 by Queen Victoria, the "Mother of Confederation", the V.C. was from its inception more than just "British" - one of the first recipients was Canadian A.R. Dunn who acted with outstanding valour in the Charge of the light Brigade. The third Canadian winner was William Hall, a black Nova Sco- tian. When American blacks were slaves, Canada's Queen was giving her highest decoration to one of her black sub- jects. In all, 93 Canadians, from every Province, of many ethnic groups, have received the V. C. In a country not over - endowed with recognized heroes, what better material for Canadian pride could there be'. Australia recently incorporated the V.C. into its Honours system, in the same way, a "Canadianized" V.C. would be given by the Queen of Canada, on the advice of Canadian of- ficials, administered by the Honours Chancellery at Rideau Hall. It is tragic that this aspect of our heritage has fallen into the hands of those forces who seem to hate Canada's tradi- tions, and wish to annihilate our heroes and declare them and their deeds non -Canadian. Many Canadian traditions have been suppressed in the last 2D years in the name of "national unity". A look at Canada today suggests a less united country. If a faceless Canada continues to be created we will be left a rootless people, unaware of who we are. Discarding the Victoria Cross would be the latest step on this fatal path. Those who wish to preserve a world-class decoration (available for any Commonwealth country who wishes to use it) and honour our History and our living traditions should tell the Prime Minister and their MP ( House of Com- mons. Ottawa K1A OA4) their opinion, now. Background material is available from the Monarchist League at Boot 1057, Oakville, Ontario W 5E9. Let's act together to farce Mr. Mulroney to do re -affirm his 1987 intentions, and preserve Canada's Victoria Cross.

Not only is the public assured of quality, but the Heronry Looking For Volunteers The Ontario Heronry In- ventory ( OHI ), a project of the Long Point Bird Obser- vatory (LPBO), is seeking volunteers to help with the final year of a two-year, province -wide survey of Great Blue Heron colonies. As in 1990, the OHI in 1991 will be compiling a catalogue of the locations of all heronries in Ontario. In addition the OHI is hop- ing to "census" (count nests within a colony) as many as 300 heronries.

Anyone providing a col- ony's location will be gratefully acknowledged; volunteers interested in censusing will be sent fur- ther information and in- structions on how to par ticipate. In 1990, LPBO conducted a similar survey and deter- mined that the heron population in Ontario was healthy, with over 375 ac- tive colonies. However, the ensuing ten years have seen increasing polhition of lakes and streams, distur- bance of nesting sites, acid precipitation, wetland drainage, woodlot cutting and continued human development in more and more remote regions. LPBO wants to quantify changes in the distribution and abundance of herons in the province resulting from these human impacts. The Great Blue Heron, standing over a metre tall, with a wing span of almost two metres, is one of our largest and most majestic birds. Herons nest in col- onies of two to as many as 300 pairs, often in isolated woodlots, where they build large stick nests.

On Sunday, March 17, - the TTC will begin a 3 -month test to allow women travelling alone on theTTC in Scarborough at night or in the early morning hours to get off buses at locations other than regularTTC stops. Although the TTC still encourages women to exit buses at its more than 2.100 Scarborough bus stops, the test program is designed to address those occasions when a woman might feel safer by getting off at a different location. The test program Is called "Request Stop" and here's how It works: • "Request Stop" will be in effect 7 days a week from 9:00 pm. or from the time the street lights come on —whichever is later — until 5:00 a.m. • "Request Stop' will apply to all Scarborough bus routes operating in the area east from and including Victoria Park Avenue and south from and including Steeles Avenue East. ■ Speak to the driver about your 'Request Stop" at least one bus stop ahead of where you wish to get off. • The driver must be able to stop the bus safely. ■ Please exit by the front doors when using "Request Stop:' For further information or comments. please contact TTC at 393-3008 during business hours. The Better Way Page 6 THE NEWS'POST Wed. March 13, 1991 Bill Watt's Worlds CAVEAT: After returning from a lightning trip to Vegas, this poor scribbler is experienc- ing difficulty in recaptur- ing the arm and hand movements necessary for mastery of a keyboard. They are substantially dif- ferent from those used in canfield poker, roulette, les craps and of course, the slots. After several sessions with the last named, we now have a right forearm to rival that of Popeye. It's great for karate chops one supposes but murder when trying to type deathless prase. Anyway, here are some bits and pieces for your consideration. MEMORY LANE: Popular Barry Nesbitt has been wintering in Florida but was kind enough to let us know that he is returning to Toronto in April at which time he will continue local presen- tations of Nes- Bits & Pieces. That's his one man show best described as a reflective divertissement from minstrel days through early radio to Broadway. One of the bits revolves around the early and not so early radio jingles in- cluding those for Pepsi- Cola ("more bounce to the ounce" always made us think of a lightweight bra), Wildroot Cream Oil ("M ya Baldy!") and Barbasol. It's a perfect show for seniors' clubs, corporation 25 year clubs, conventions and the like. Some bookings are still available by contacting the Barry Nesbitt organization at 924-6825 locally or 1-305-563-8938 in the U.S.A. Ask him if he will be do- ing the Mason's 49 jingle. If not, please tell him that Watt has the lyrics. SCHOOL DAYS: Here's more word from Florida. The Coral Gables High school graduating class of 1954 is planning a 40th class reunion in 1994 and has asked for our help in locating one of the members. Around and Abou a Your Dining &Entertainment Guide His name is William James Watt. He is not a relation of ours but he did attend Vaughan Road Col- legiate here in Toronto before attending C.G.H. If the gentleman should possibly be reading this or if there is anyone else who is aware of his whereabouts, please con- tact good buddy Ken Wit- tich Jr. at 503 Almeria Avenue, Coral Gables, Florida, 33134. IN THE CLUBS: The Queen Street West strip continues to divest itself of some decades of grunge. Good thing too. At hand we have an an- nouncement that on Mar. 17th (begorrah'.)

ON STAGE: The hit New York musical "Closer Than Ever" will open at the Susan Rubes Theatre at YPT on May 9th for an in- definite run and this is quite a booking coup for the YPT. Closer than ever is from the team of Richard Maltby Jr. and David Shire. The former's list of credits includes a Tony Award for directing "Ain't Misbehavin"', adaption and direction of Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Song & Dance", providing addi- tional lyrics for "Les Miserables" and acting as co-lyncist on Miss Saigon. David Shire has received two Academy Award nominations and won an Oscar finally for the song "It Goes Like This" from the film "Norma Rae". He has been given two Emmy nominations and has won two Grammy Awards for his work on the Saturday Night Fever album. As noted. the opening is on May 9th but previews begin on May 1st and we have no compunctions at all about reicom nerving previews. In them one has the opportunity to see a show being Lux hared prior to an opening which is quite an experience. As well, however, sometimes you'll hear a song or bit of business that is removed from the final production. Good bargoon. Tickets are now available at the Susan Rubes Theatre or by call- ing 864-9'32 to charge. ON YOUR TOES: Friend Greg Patterson sends along word from London, England ( he's from London, Ontario originally) about an in- teresting premiere by the English National Ballet. It is a new production of John Cranko's Taming of the Shrew and it opens on June 24th. Present in the audience that night will be HRH The Princess of Wales who is a Patron of the Company. The Taming of the Shrew with Lady Dianne in the au- dience; that should pro- voke a few chuckles. ON T.V.: On Sat. Mar. 16th, one day before St. Patrick's Day (go figure) The Irish Rovers will be celebrating their 25th anniversary on Channel 11. Among the many guests to be seen live and in flashback will be Anne Murray, Johnny Cash, Roger Miller, John Davidson, Lonnie Donegan, Roger Whittaker and Bobby Darin. It promises to be quite a show but watch the Irish jokes start again when it's realized that the show should have been seen on March 17th. Katherine Hepburn makes a rare television ap- pearance on the same channel the following Wednesday. "Mrs. Delafield Wants to Marry" is abort a wealthy and aristocratic widow who falls in love with her doc- tor. Neither her or his grown children approve, Harold Gould plays the role of the doctor. LIVING COLOUR: Now, here is the an- noaicerrient you have all been awaiting with bated breath; the announcement of the eight colours to be retired by the Crayola Crayon people. Are you ready?

SEMPER FIDELIS: Surely the title belongs to Miss Alma Page who recently celebrated her 87th birthday and is pro- bably the most faithful fan of any theatre in history. She has been a subscriber at the Royal Alexandra Theatre for over 20 years and has been at- tending performances there regularly for over 75 years; since 1915, only eight years after the theatre was built. Alis volat propriis! SPORTS NOTE: Pleased to see John Can- dy as one of the new owners of Toronto's CFL team. We first met him a number of years ago -pre SCl'V-at the inaugural of a new televi- sion production facility. At the time he was working, we believe, on a Weetabix commercial and his ad fibs were hilarious. Anyway, we like his ap- proach to the up -to -now almost moribund fran- chise. He is insistent and we are in agreement that we return to calling the team The Toronto Argonauts after the Argonaut Rowing Club which was its genesis. Argos is a ridiculous name foisted on the public by sports page type setters and should never have been used as the actual team name. Argonauts it was; Argonauts it should become again. Mr. Griffiths, our phys- ed teacher at Humberside would have been prod of us for thus speaking out. Rest well sir and Go you Argonauts.
