The addition will include a lift to make it accessible to handicapped students. All three sets of sketch plans were approved by trustees. ween the board and staff at O.I.S.E. who are studying educational finance. Ex- perts in various areas of educational finance will be invited to make presenta- tions to the group and may be invited to join the pro - Jett. The Durham Board of Education hopes to prepare a report on the topic which would be presented this fall to the Ontario Public School Boards' Associa- tion. Second Environmental Summit Planned The board's En- vironmental Steering Com- mittee has plans well underway for the second Environmental Summit to be entitled Making It Hap- pen. The summit will be held April 12-14 at the Leslie Frost Centre, Dorset. The focus of the conference will be develop- ing school environmental plans and each par- ticipating school will be asked to send a team con- sisting of administrators, teachers, parents and a custodian. The conference will provide the teams with both information and ex- pertise to help them in the formulation of individual school environmental plans. Property Damage Or Loss Report Received The annual report of all property damage or losses suffered by the board dur- ing 1990 was received by trustees. Although the number of occurrences was This Space Could Be Yours For $110081 IM down from 1,318 in 1909 to 1,245 in 1990, the overall cost to the board rose just Over $10,000 to $174,501. It was noted that malicious glass breakage accounted for over $74,000 of the total cost and less than $3,000 for damages or losses was recovered from individuals billed by the board or directed to pay as a result of Court action. Energy Report Received The annual report of the board's energy manage- ment program was receiv- ed by trustees. The report showed that in 1990 the board's use of both gas and oil in elementary and secondary schools decreas- ed, as did the use of water in elementary schools. The use of water in secondary schools increased as well as the use of electricity in elementary and secondary schools. In the overall pic- ture, energy use by the board virtually did not change and the dollar cost avoidance since the energy management program was put into effect in 1975 now totals over $10 million. Trustees congratulated all PRINTING 683-1968 J� employees of the board for their rite efforts to reduce energy consumption. Council Notes Appointnaear Mayor Arthurs and Coun- cillors Dickerson and Mit- chell were appointed to the Civic Awards Committee at a meeting of Pickering Town Council on Mar_ 4th. Citizens' Forum Council carried a resolu- tion endorsing the purpose and goal of The Citizens' Forum on Canada's future and agreed it would sup- port its citizens in conduc- ting a forum in Pickering, and present an opportunity for Pickering residents to participate in this discus- sion on Canada's future and the role that Pickering might have in the ongoing evolution of our country. it would go away, but wishing is one thing and planning is another". Even though council agreed the Seaton issue had been around for a long time, Regional Chairman, Gary Herrema insisted council, give this old issue, new attention. "We can't put our heads in the sand. The development of Seaton is inevitable and we better be prepared,,. Regional council voted in favor of circulating the report throughout Durham region. development was revisited by Durham regional coun- cillors at a special meeting held at regional head- quarters on Tues. Mar. 12th. The lengthy presenta- tion, by Frank Clayton of Clayton Research Associates Ltd.. focused on assessing the potential financial impact of Seaton on Durham region. Presented to councillors were, five variations on the theme, forming different phasing timing scenarios_ F_ssentially, the two year study concluded that, ..the province is not any closer t o deciding how Seaton will • -e developed" The region is looking to province to guarantee old provincial accord to ,..ince Seaton's capital rks costs, regardless builds the community. *r)uncillor Dickerson, not :used by this issue rear - n4 its head again, sug- 4twted that his fellow tour, ,•lllors "not waste any more of their time on this .,sue until the province ac- ..;,lIly puts the money on rir• table". "he disclosure of the iancial implications and ,,h housing densities, resulted in heckling amongst the councillors. "It will be the mother of all ghettos.. lamented Coun- cillor Potticarry. Mayor Witty forrasted Durham as being the "door mat to Seaton". Seaton's 20,000 acres, and proposed population, estimated at 90,000 people, is slated for high density residential development assuming a 60% taxable assessment base. The re- maining 4D% would go to future industry. This brought about a flurry of discussions as councillors shifted focus, and took advantage of the opportunity to flog the air- port and social issues. Councillor Deonne claims, Seaton is only one half of the coin. "First put in the airport, then Seaton". Without the airport in place she expressed con- cern as to what would at- tract the major industry desperately needed to carry this community. The negative financial social impact, on the already financially stressed social organizations in Durham region, had not even been considered in the report much to Councillor Pot- ticarry's horror. In a report full of scenarios, the financial im- pact remains; $40 million up front and non- recoverable, for sewers, water and roads eventually costing $192.3 million just to service Seaton. Councillor Nicholson welcomed the information in the study so Durham region would be able to, "take a position" and urg- ed councillors to, "develop a position on Seaton.

March 211, 1991 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Very Unfortunate The resignation of Alan Redway as Minister of Housing for the federal government is a very unfortunate move, we believe, by the Prime Minister. Mr. Redway. MP for Don Valley East, is one Member of Parliament who is not afraid to criticize his own party when he feels that it is not going the right way. There are not many MPs who will do that as our system doesn-t allow the flexibility which exists in the British Parliament or the United States Congress. We wish Alan Redway much success in the future especially on his positive stands for what he thinks is right. Court Action Has Begun Dear Editor: Having exhausted every available political means to have our views heard and considered. the Lethbridge RCMP Veterans Court Challenge Committee have now brought a court action against the Government of Canada and the Commissioner of the RCMP. The action asks the Federal Court of Canada for a declaration that RCMP regulations permitting the commissioner to exempt members from wearing the RCMP uniform on the basis of their religious beliefs. Violates the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Did you know that the religious symbols of some 88% of Canadians have been erased from all publicly funded in- stitutions' A few examples are that there are no prayers. Gideon Bibles. Christmas Concerts, etc in schools and no religious symbols in government buildings to Honour our war dead. But the RCMP. who exercise tremendous legal powers. and is a publicly funded institution. can now wear specified religious symbols. Court Action was commenced on Thurs. Feb. 28th in the Federal Court of Canada. We regret that a court action oras necessan but our views on these issues must be heard. We. the "Defenders of RC.%1P Tradition" are contintnng to solicit funds to support the Lethbridge RCMP Veterans' Court Challenge Committee. Your donations, small or large. from individuals or groups, are imperative for con- tinued court action: Please make your cheque or money order payable to Lethbridge RCMP Veterans' Court Challenge Committee. and mail it to Jack Grant (RCMP Retired,. 2502 - 12th Avenue S. Lethbridge. Alberta, T1K OP5. Economy In Crisis On Mar. 11th Tom Wappel. M.P. for Scarborough West. and Official Opposition Cntic for immigration• criticized the Government for its handling of the Canadian Economy. and in particular the effects of the recession on Ontario. ..Thousands of jobs are being continually lost as this country is forced to endure this made in Ottawa recession. Scarborough has been particularly hard hit. This region has experienced severe cuts to its transportation and auto parts Industries as well as in the service sector. The Conser- vatives have not responded to this crisis and their latest budget is merely a continued prescription for disaster. not a means by wfiich to revamp our economy." said Wappel. According to today's release of StatsCan figures, unemployment has risen to 10.2% for the month of February. 0ntano being hardest hit. In addition. Ontario has least 9.8% of ILs manufacturing jobs between January 19911 and January 1991. These figures reveal that since the introduction of the Canada -US fret• trade deal, manufactur- ing jobs have declined by _r, ; .000' The province leads all others In the record number of businesses declaring bankruptcy. "The high dollar• high interest rate policy of this goven- ment has put us in this dismal situation. Given our weaken- ing economy and the Conservative record, it has become crystal clear that fiscal restraint, not people, is the main concern of this government." said Rappel. Throughout Ontario and the rest of Canada. Canadians are feeling the pain of this continued Consen•ative economic policy. "Canadians need jobs, not rhetoric. Cana- dians need lower interest rates, not adherence to inap- propriate fiscal policy and Canadians need a government which will place emphasis on people, not cut provincial transfer payments which as everyone has realized will lead to a dismantling of our distinct social system." said Wap- pel. news[post Published every Wednesday by Watson Publishing Company Limited, Est. 1950 Postal Address: Box 111, Agincourt.

End Discharge of "Grey Water" Into Provin- cial Lakes and Rivers Owners of pleasure boats will be prohibited from discharging "grey water" from sinks and showers into On- tario's waterways. the Minister of the Environment Ruth Grier has announced. The ministry is amending Regulations 305 and 310 of the Environmental Protection Act (EPA) by changing the definition of sewage to include "grey water" as well as '-black water" - water from toilets. The ministry has set aside two month ending April 30. 1991 for public comment. The amendments will come into effect May 1, 1993. ..Grey water from 4.500 pleasure boats in Ontario today contributes to the pollution of the province's lakes and rivers, especially in the bays, the smaller lakes and the heavily -travelled areas such as the canal systems. Amen- ding these two regulations will bring all of us closer to our goal of having pollution -free w•aterw•ays." said Mrs. Grier.

KINDERGARTEN REGISTRATION, MARCH 25-28,1991 SCARBOROUGH PUBLIC SCHOOLS Page 6 THE NEWS! POST Wed. March 20, 1991 Bill Watt's Worlds IN THE CLUBS: The other even ng we travelled west on Queen St. just a little past Bathurst to the Squeeze Club. It sounds like a Polish dance club in downtown Buffalo but is, in fact, one of the new tren- doid attractions pro- liferating along and greatly improving what has not been, for a few decades now, one of the city's better areas. We were there to see and audit a new musical ag- gregation with the wildly improbable name of The Monkey Tree. Believe us. Now, if we could deter- mine what today's young music world will decide is to be the next hot and lasting act, we wouldn't be in this business; we'd become a promoter en- trepreneur. Allow us a long limb, however, upon which to extend ourself while sug- gesting that The Monkey Tree could well become mega stars on the contem- porar) pop scene. We didn't think so upon arrival at the Squeeze Club when the group was already performing. In- deed. we thought we were in for another evening of standard Rock noise. As well, the gyrations of the members were rather more mindful of monkeys in a tree than of a tree itself, even such a resilient one as a monkey tree. (We were going to suggest that they certainly weren't wooden but that wood have been too cutesy, wooden it?) Yet, after a few moments we realized that something unusual and pleasant was happening; we could make out the lyrics. Unlike the case with most Rock groups, we actually knew the words that were being sung. Mind you, they made no more sense than most rock lyrics but it remains that they were clear in a demonstration of clarity that did credit to the lead vocalists and the ensemble back up much of which had a bootin' younger Weavers quality to it. The instrumentation was good as well. One can't classify it and that's as it should be; it's not carved in stone that all music should be assigned a specific Around and About Your Dining &Entertainment Guide niche. It seemed to us though that certain hooks and following passages delivered a keening Afro- Caribbean quality. Without, one hopes, being too fancy-wancy, there is more of a wild ocean con- cept behind The Monkey Tree than the gritty con- crete and asphalt of most of today's group. One is tempted to suggest that the sound is innovative but then one reminds oneself that we once thought Shep Fields' Rippl- ing Rhythms were radical. Mention should be made, too, of the fine percussion work. It has been too long since we've heard honest to Krupa paradiddling. It was most pleasant to experience good vocalists, imaginative arrangements and excellent musician- ship; all qualities that Mould take The Monkey C ELLAS RESTAURANT AND BANQUET HAUS LUXURY BANQUET FACILITIES Any size up to 1500 people • WEDDINGS • ENGAGEMENTS • COMPANY MEETINGS • SEMINARS • DINNER • LUNCH • BREAKFASTS • RETIREMENT PARTIES • BAPTISMS 35 Danforth Rd.

"The reason I decided to do 50's & 60's was because I liked it, plain and simple," says Anthony. A single performer, (leave the typical stereotype of a single entertainer at home, please - he breaks the mould) Ray Anthony will knock your socks off with a very pro- fessional, polished and high energy show. "I want the audience to have fun and participate." he explains, "I have hoola hoops, a limbo stick. twisting and jitterbug con- tests. I want my show to be authentic - I dress the part and want the music to come as close to the original as possible - I just add a bit more punch to it." On stage, all the singing and guitar playing is done live. The background music for every song is pro- duced and played by An- thony and stored on com- puter, which he takes with him on stage. His reper- toire consists of about 100 songs with the likes of Bud- dy Holly, the Beach Boys, Elvis Presley and the Plat- ters, to name only a few.

I want my show to be authentic - I dress the part and want the music to come as close to the original as possible - I just add a bit more punch to it." On stage, all the singing and guitar playing is done live. The background music for every song is pro- duced and played by An- thony and stored on com- puter, which he takes with him on stage. His reper- toire consists of about 100 songs with the likes of Bud- dy Holly, the Beach Boys, Elvis Presley and the Plat- ters, to name only a few.

Ltrave!li Vacation In Jamaica With A Difference by Jerry Hudson Tourism to Jamaica has traditionally been limited to Montego Bay, NegriI and Ochos Rios. All three vaca- tion spots are good value for the money, and will always fully reward the traveller with sun, sand and night -life. But for a vacation in Jamaica with a difference, and at much less cost, try the little-known Port An- tonio, Portland area. Located on Jamaica's north-east coast. the twin harbours of Port Antonio are best seen from the hill- top vantage point of the Bonnie View Plantation Hotel. From there the most beautiful vista in Jamaica, and one of the very best in all of the Caribbean, can be enjoyed. Jane Wilson, manager of the Bonnie View for East Coast Resorts, will be happy to acquaint you with all of the areas' facilities. Nestled at the foot of the hills beneath Blue Moun- tain peak which rises to 7,402 feet, the Bonnie View should be your home away from home for at least a week. It will probably take that long to unwind from your North American business pressures and to assume the natural pace of Jamaica, which is "easy, Mon". A pleasant surprise at the Bonnie View are the room rates. Winter prices (through April 30) range from US tit to $82 for a double. After April's end, summer prices of US $62 to $70 take effect. All prices are European Plan, which does not include meals. Note that breakfast, lunch and dinner are available. The restaurant is ex- cellent, offering a wide variety of Jamaican, North American and continental cuisine. If it's just a snack or a drink you're after, master -bartender Maurice will be happy to fulfill any of your requests. While you're there. ask :Maurice about his participation in the making of the James Bond 007 mo%ies and "Club Paradise". Stop by to see Juliet at the hotel's gift shop for Jamaican mementos for those you left back home. The Bonnie View also of- fers guided horse -back riding around the planta- tion and into the hills below Blue :Mountain. And, of course, the hotel has a swimming -pool. For total relaxation, and to dismiss all other -worldly troubles from your mind, contact Elizabeth Lee, President of Uncommon Sense, Inc., at the Bonnie View. Elizabeth earned a PANORAMIC LIMO .

Her talents range from the practice of Zen Shiatsu, accupressure, physiotherapy, Tui -nal to reflexology. Elizabeth will completely relax you and prepare you for the wonderful Jamaican ex- periences ahead. With the Bonnie View as your base, there are many diversions available in the Portland area. The "don't miss"' attraction is river - rafting on the Rio Grande. Arrange for a driver to take you to Berrydale, the starting point. You may want to ask for Captain Basil, one of the most ex- perienced rafters, but all are quite capable for you days' trip. From Berrydale it's a delightful 3 to 4 hour drift down the river on a two or four -seat bamboo raft con- trolled by the steady hands of a river "Captain". Definitely not white -water rafting but a leisurely and safe ride, the Captains are all certified in their work, and qualify through a several -year appren- ticeship before being allow- ed to take passengers. Enjoy a swim in the deepest part of the river, and have some "Finger Licking Jerk Chicken" for lunch. "Bar rafts" will pull alongside as you progress - they provide cold soft - drinks, and Jamaica's famous Red Stripe beer. As with all things in Jamaica, your Captain is in no hurry, and will linger as long as you wish. At journey's end there's Rafters Rest, a fully - equipped restaurant and bar where the river meets the sea. Your driver will meet you there and take you back to your hotel when you wish. Jamaica is one of the most civilized countries to be experienced in the world; rafting on the Rio Grande is one of the most pleasurable trips in the world. Enjoy. Other attractions in the area include trips to Janga Gully through lush vegeta- tion, a visit to the ruirs of Folly on Lighthouse Point 1 built years ago but by mixing sea -water with ce- ment, hence the name), and a ride over Shotover Mountain, featuring some of the best scenes for photographers. All of these side -trips can be arranged at the Bonnie View Planta- tion Hotel. For beach -freaks, Boston Beach, a few miles east, is uncrowded and has full facilities. The beach is of glistening white sand, and is a beautiful example of a place Jamaicans themselves go to for relax- ation. You are guaranteed not to be pestered by souvenir -sellers; just lie back and enjoy. While in the area try some jerk pork Wed.

Recently, Keith Spicer and his Citizen's Forum have come under attack by Opposition Members as a result of costs incurred from listening to Canadians. As a Conser- vative, I have always expressed very clear concerns about the cost of government, but when we are dealing with the very future of Canada, I have great difficulty in being sym- pathetic to the opposition's concerns. After the failure of the Meech Lake Accord, Canadians asked, in fact demanded, the opportunity to be heard on future Constitutional arrangements. The Spicer Commis- sion is meeting that demand and is travelling in uncharted waters. As presently established, their budget translates in- to about 95 cents for every Canadian. Not a bad price to have your views heard. Personally, I do not think that is too much to save this county and I hope that all of you will take advantage by participating in the Forum. This week, the Minister of the Environment was in Toron- to to unveil some encouraging blueprints in conjunction with the Green Plan. The meeting was interrupted by a pro- tester, and as is par for the course, the CBC reported almost exclusively on the role of the protester and not on the very solid announcement by the Minister dealing with Great Lakes water quality. It is a shame that the CBC spending estimates have been announced. Unfortunately, actions tike this convince me that the CBC no longer plays its tradi- tional role in keeping the fabric of the country together. Many of you have questioned the Government of Canada's role in funding assistance programs in Iraq. I have little difficulty with supporting financial assistance to the Red Cross to provide humanitarian aid in that region. However, you should be aware that the government has not announced and I would be very critical of any such an- nouncement, that Canada would be supplying taxpayers' assistance to rebuild Iraq %Me the present totalitarian regime is still in power, intent on oppressing its people and those of its neighbours. Please be assured that I have made that point clear in Ottawa and will continue to do so.

Does the average Canadian eat more meat, fish and poultry than the Canada food guide recommends, or less? Surprisingly enough, we eat less than the recommended 120 to 180 grams ( four to six ounces). We eat about 90 grams of meat or meat alternatives a day. That's about three ounces. Not Doing Enough For Fish And Wildlife The overwhelming majority of Ontarians agree with the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters (OFAH) that the province is not doing enough for fish and wildlife, accor- ding to a provincial government survey conducted last summer. The survey, conducted by Insight Canada Research for the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR), found that 64 percent of those asked felt that the province isn't doing enough to protect Ontario's fish and wildlife. Forty four percent of the respondents said they had camped, hunted or fished in the past year. "This confirms what we've been saying for years," said Dr. Terry Quinney, OFAH provincial coordinator of fish and wildlife services. "Ontario doesn't take its expansive natural environment seriously enough, and Ontarians are beginning to realize it." The survey's result reflects the province's lack of com- mitment to issues like wetlands conservation, biological ex- otics (such as zebra mussels and purple loosestrife), habitat degradation, and fish and wildlife management, Quinney said.
