Durham Bd. Of Education Highlights S. T. E.M. Project Presented Mathematics Consultant Karen Allem was present to introduce students and staff from Brock H.S. and Ajax H. S. who had par- ticipated in the S.T.E.M. (Savings Through Energy Management) pilot pro- gram. S.T.E.M. enables students and teachers to gain an awareness of the benefits of energy conser- vation. The program has been a joint effort between Ontario Hydro, the Ministry of Energy and the Durham Board of Educa- tion. Participants perform- ed energy audits at their schools and made recom- mendations for saving both energy and dollars. Students from both schools spoke about their findings in the areas of heating, lighting and water consumption. At the con- clusion of their presenta- tions, the students, along with their principals and participating teachers from both schools, received certificates for their suc- cessful completion of the 40 hour S. T. E. M. program. Everyone involved was commended for their com- mitment to helping the en- vironment by working so diligently in the area of energy conservation. The students' findings will be reviewed by the Board's Plant Department and taken to a Property and Transportation Committee meeting for possible im- plementation. �x CHIN Bikini Contestant Sindy Zelema, 20 of Pickering is a contestant in the Miss CHIN International Bikini competition at the CNE this Sat.

Debate On Hydro Commission by Brenda Bidayl Councillor Kip Van Kempen introduced a mo- tion before Pickering Coun- cil last Monday, to set a precident with this council and have hydro commis- sioners elected. Hydro commissioners traditionally have been ap- pointed to the commission by Pickering Council following the municipal election. In the past years, however, some Pickering residents and Ward 2 Coun- cillor Kip Van Kempen have been critical of this hydro commission, ques- tioning its accountability. The motion introduced by Van Kempen, was not dealt with until 1 a.m. but that did not stop the count- cdlor from blasting other members of council regar- dirg the actions of this coonaoissioct. '•1 brought this motion forward because I have some problem with the ac- countaabthty of this com- mission. I asked Mr. Stroud, Chairman of the Hydro Commission, to come here tonight so I would have the opportunity to ask him some questions," said Van Kempen. "Stroud told me he would not come here unless coun- cil as a whole asked him to." Van Kempen then turned to Brenner, also a hydro commissioner, and challenged him to come forward and appear as a delegation from the hydro commission, as Strad was not willing to do so. Brenner did not respond to the challenge. Van Kempen continued to address his concerns with the hydro cornmission and revealed to council members, the difficulty he encountered trying to ob- tain information from the commission and was fur- ther annoyed when he had to get 'permission' from the commission to receive an agenda of their public meetings. Councillor Van Kempen also shared with council comments Coldwell Banker had made in its report to council it that, a greater than averge amount of blackouts in Pickering, has discouraged potential business from re- locating here. Besides the issue of ac- countability of hydro com- missioners, Van Kempen is pushing for electing the commissioners by putting an end to 'patronage ap- pointments'. Earlier in the evening, Don Kitchen a previous Pickering councillor. told council that he agrees with Councillor Van Kempen, and feels commissioners should be elected. Kitchen was the fust Chairman of Pickering Hydro and sat on the first commission. Long time Pickering Councillor, Alex Robertson, also lent his support to Van Kempen ad- ding. "the whole system is open for misuse' citing againpolitical patronage and lack of accountability as, "They are only respow sible to themselves". However, Mayor Arthus s did not agree with Van Kempen, Robertson or Don Kitchen's remarks. —lbere has not been a vast outcry by the public said the mayor. In an interview with Van Kempen, he said; ..when a member of the public or any member of council, cannot get information from this commission, you better believe there is a problem of accountability. What are they trying to hide! I have had little or no co-operation from this commission." Pickering Cauncil voted for a three month deferral. bringing this issue back in September. Just in time for the municipal election," beam- ed Van Kempen.

June 36, 1991 opinion a page for expression for you and us About Boat Storage To the Editor As a volunteer and member of Save the Rouge Valley System over the past few years, I have sat through many Scarborough Council meetings listening to delegations of people speaking for and against saving the valley from development. In November 1989 Scarborough Council voted 20:1 to save 5,000 acres in North East Scarborough from the developers' bulldozers. It was very clear that the Scar- borough Councillors were listening to the concerns of the general public. It was not so with Pickering Council on Mon. night June 10. At council that night were Mayor Wayne Arthurs, Coun- cillor Maurice Brenner, Councillor Kip Van Kempen, Regional Councillor Bob Mitchell and chairperson Rick Johnson. This council voted 3:1 in favor of boat storage on parkland for Frenchman's Bay Yacht Club. Bob Mitchell, who put forth the motion to prevent the boat storage was the only member to speak and vote for the concerns of the en- vironemnt . Significant points made and ignored by council were that public property belongs to everyone, not to 132 boat owners'. that there will be a road 15-20 feet from the environmentally sensitive wetland: that an environmental centre is propos- ed for 1997 and what good will it be if there is no environ- ment and that if Frenchman's Bay Yacht Club is allowed to store their boats on public property, this will set a prece- dent for other private groins in the area expecting similar rights in public areas. Apparently the majority of council members ignored the general public's concerns and opted to help Frenchman's Bay Yacht Club with their shortage of storage. Everyone knows there is also a vast shortage of green space threatening the health of our atmosphere. As one woman at the meeting declared, what will be left for our grandchildren and their children. I am a boater and enjoy sailing in Durham region- But concerns of the environment will always be my first priori- ty and I will fight for this to the best of my ability.

In an interview Mr. Hicks said: "I decided to write a policy paper of my own after becoming very frustrated waiting for some sort of direction by our government on the future of our Canadian armed forces. I fund it unacceptable that we have failed to produce either a policy or a green paper since 1964." Mr. Hicks is hoping that this book will stimulate open discussion. particularly in classrooms across the country, on the direction of future defence policy. .'The roles of peacekeeping. for instance. have changed drastically. It may very well be necessary in the future to maintain special forces for domestic peacekeeping as well as international assignments." he said. "I feel it essential that Canadians better understand the necessity for Canada to maintain a credible defence and participate in collective security arrangements. I am hop- ing this book will help to develop this awareness." This book is dedicated to all past and present members of the Canadian Armed Forces who for so long have done so much with so little.

I I` Give Same Scrutiny Dear Mr. Watson Recently, Ontario voters found out just how a protest vote can backfire, with the tabling of the budget brought down by the NDP government. 1 am therefore puzzled by your May 22, 1991 editorial "We Need Reform", in which you en- dorse the Reform Party's fiscal agenda. As the Conser- vative MP for Don Valley North, I believe the people of On- tario should submit Preston Manning and his Reform Party to the same scrutiny they are submitting our government today. Our government has made some very tough and un- popular decisions. The Reform Party is taking advantage of our current unpopularity to offer what to some will be seductive policies. Preston Manning's alluring battle -cry of cutting government "handouts" to various elements of our society as well as his 10-15% across the board cut from all departmental budgets form the crux of the Reform Party's panacea to put Canada's financial house in order. Mr. Man- ning has a penchant for cutting grants or services to "those other people" when addressing those Canadians who do not view themselves as minorities. What he does not seem to be aware of is that the government purchases services through "grants" - for unemployment retraining pro- grams, programs to help new Canadians integrate, pro- grams to help combat illiteracy, to combat spousal abuse, to deal with the environment, to help Canadians speak to each other, in other words, programs to make us a country and help us all participate in building our nation. Cut government spending, the Reform Party says, by the magic 10-15%, which will trim approximately $10 billion off the national deficit. When pressed on where exactly to cut this amount without drastically affecting payments such as support to seniors, pensioners, farmers, etc., Preston Man- ning insists that this amount can be taken out of middle management layers of the civic service, although that is what our government has been doing since 1984 and con- tintws to do with our recent 'aero' increase in staff salaries. Unfortunately, Mr. Manning has refused to appear before the all -party Hose of Commons Finance Committee to get specific abort program cuts. But just look at the reality. A 10-15% across-the-board cut would include cuts to pensions, veterans' support payments, health care and support for our farmers who are in the midst of an international trade war. Needless to say, our government has looked at all these areas. and has un- plemented many cuts which have all met with violent criticism. Where else does Mr. Manning want to cut? Your editorial expresses the hope that the Reform Party will abolish the GST. Let's take a closer look. A resolution to abolish the GST was put to the recent Reform Party con- vention oo-vention in Saskatoon. Based on what Preston Manning and his Reform colleagues have been saying for the past year, one would have thought it would pass easily. In fact, it didn't. Preston Manning decreed the party should give the matter "further study". Perhaps it occurred to Mr. Mann- ing that if he were to abolish the GST, be would have to figure out where to get the 520 odd billion dollars in revenue the reformed sales tax yields to the government. Increases in personal income tax, you suggest? Currently we raise $75.190 billion from income tax. The GST is expected to raise 516,350 billion excluding the GST credit. That would mean we would creed to increase income tax revenues by 22%. Middle and upper-income earners would be hit again. And more high-income earners would be compelled to move to the U.S. More importantly. I think Canadians, particularly On- tanians, should take a hard look at the Reform Party's plat- form and ask themselves how their support of this party will advance the cause of national unity? Preston Manning has stated that he will not nun candidates in Quebec because this would be a conflict of interest for the Alberta - Some Z5 young women are competing for the title of Miss based pare..

During the last session of Parliament, the government in- bmduced Bill C-10, the government's firearms control package. However, this legislation met with great oppm- tion, including a group of Conservative M.P.'s of which I was an active participant. As a result of this opposition, the government scrapped these amendments and introduced Bill C-17, which reflects the recommendations of the aforementioned M.P.'s. Under Bill C-17, anyone wishing to obtain a Firearms Ac- quisition Certificate ( FAC) will have to provide a photograph, the names of two references, wait 28 days for the police to do a thorough assessment and successfully complete a safety course or pass a test. At the same time, local firearms officers may certify competence withount a course or test where they are satisfied on other grounds that the applicant is competent to use a gum safely. In this way, the law reflects the interests of both legitimate gun owners and the public. In addition to tighter screening procedures, safe storage regulations will be strengthened and will apply to all types of firearms. Presently, fully -automatics are prohibited in Canada. Amendments will also prohibit fully automatic guns that have been converted to senv-automatic, however, genuine gun collectors will be able to keep their converted firearms. Specific military or para -military type firearms will also become prohibited or restricted by Order in Council. Large capacity magazines will be limited for the simple reason of fimiting firepower. It must be remembered that the majority of sporting firearms in Canada are non - semiautomatics and will not be affected. In addition, regulations limiting magazine sizes will be tabled in both the Hose of Commons and Senate to allow for full public in- put. However, it is in this area that I believe some changes must still be made. Perhaps one of the most important changes contained in Bill C-17 is the implementation of stiffer sentences for peo- ple convicted of firearm offences. Whereas Bill C-80 con- tained no changes to sentencing provisions, Bill C-17 in some cases doubles maximum sentences. In addition, the bill allows for the automatic revocation of permits and cer- tificates to remove guns from dangerous or violent en- vironments such as domestic disputes. According to a recent poll, over W% of Canadians are in favour of stricter gun control and I would agree that better arms control is necessary to reduce the risk to public safe- ty. Having said that, I am fully a%vare that guns have a place in our society, be it for traditional reasons for Nor- thern and rural Canadians, legitimate recreational use or an aspect of employment - as for police and the military. I believe that Bill C-17 takes into account both sides of this issue and will keep guns out of the wrong hands while ensur- ing that gun users are treated fairly and properly trained. . i Wed. June 26, 1991 THE NEWS/POST Page 5 Jim Karygiannis Holding Public Meetings On Free Trade Jim Karygiannis, MP for Scarborough -Agincourt will be holding a public meeting on Wed.

Because sexual assault isn't only rape. It's any unwanted act of a sexualnature imposed by one person on another. And if you think it's always a dark alley and a violent stranger, you're wrong again. More than half of all sexual assaults of women are committed by men they know. It can occur on a date. Between friends. Even Ontario Women's Directorate between husband and wife. So most people don't think of it as a crime. And often it goes unreported. But attitudes must change. Because against our will is against the law. If your life has been affected by sexual assault, find out what can be done. Contact a sexual assault service. Or talk to someone you trust. Men must under- stand that sexual assault is a crime.

Competitors came from all over Canada, the U.S.A, Puerto Rico, and Mexico. Even, so, one Gold Medal and three Silver Medals were won in the Biackbelt division alone. The Beaches' Blackbelts that deserve local avolause for the success in free sparring in their weight division are: October Newton, Junior Girls, Silver Medal; Todd Sim- mons, Men's Middleweight, Silver Medal; Sam D'Angelo, Men's Superheavy weight, Silver Medal and Santino Caputo. Head Instructor, Men's Lighweight, Gold Medal. Gold medalist, Mr. Caputo, operates two Beaches schools, one in Toronto at the Jimmy Simpson centre and the second in North York at the Oriole Community Centre. He is assisted by Todd Simmons and Sam D'Angelo, both silver medalists at the championship and long time students of Mr. Caputo. A large group of colour belt students from the Beaches Schools also competed at the North American champion- ship. The green belt division was completely dominated by Beaches Martial Artists, as medals were claimed by Boswell Wright. Gold; Milton Thompson, Silver and Jeff Alderson, Bronze. The next challenge will come at the Open World Cham- pionship in Leicester, England, in July of 1991. North Amencan Silver Medalist Todd Simmons will be com- peting.

Walking Across Canada Passing motorists stop. ped or honked their horns as the Incredible Journey reached another milestone: Ken McColm crossed the boundary from New Brunswick to Quebec, Ken has walked over 2,000 kilometres since leaving St. John's on March 20. Ken McColm, who lost his sight three years ago as a result of the diabetes he has dealt with since childhood, is walking across Canada to raise money for diabetes research. To date, Ken has raised well over $~50,000. Reaction and praise for the Incredible Journey grew as Ken crossed Atlan- tic Canada. Communities turn out to greet Ken as he walks into their towns, and children or other people with diabetes walk with Ken to keep him company on his journey. Ken has been described as a ..hero.. by high school children in New Brunswick, and has been changing attitudes toward people with disabilities. Ken has been invited to participate in official Canada Day celebrations in Ottawa and in Toronto. The Canadian Diabetes Association, the Telephone Pioneers of America and the lions Clubs are just three of the groups that are working together to organize Ken's journey and special appearances across the country.

Adams Director Purchasing & Administration Page 10 THE NEWS/PO" Wed. Jure S, 1"i Bill Watt's Worlds THE OPERA: ONE Sensory overload and in- formation overload are two current buzz phrases that can be used -singly or in tandem -in a description of any Mozart comic opera but particularly Le Nozze di Figaro. The Canadian Opera Company is presenting it as part of the Glory of Mozart Festival and we rekindled acquaintance with it at The O'Keefe. The labyrinthine plot about sex among the aristocracy of late mediaeval Italy and their minions can hardly be ex- plored in a review without taking space away from an appreciation of those called upon to present it. It is well known in any case: its principal thrust- oops!-surrounds the clum- sy attempts of the bored Count Almaviva to re- introduce le droit de seigneur in order to possess Susanna, his wife's maid and the intended of Figaro. his valet. Let it be said only that the narrative twists, turns and switchbacks constitute almost an information overload. The sensory overload is manifest in the marriage of the libretto to the music. Mozart is always munifi- cent with his music but in Le Nozze his benisons ap- proach pthora sensory overload. So be None di Figaro becomes almost too much of two good things, libretto and music. It's a comedy intended as a lighthearted romp. Yet, at its conclusion one is quite tuckered out. Notting the matter with that of course but it's most surprising The performers in this Production'- All ley good and of uniform excellence. As always. one regrets that each cannot be kudoed: all certainly deserve to be. However. extra kudoes are in order for the follow- ing. Harolyn Blackwell is an enchanting, smiling gamin. One understands Figaro's love for her and empathizes with Almaviva's genteel lust for her. Doreen Burgess who is splendid as a woman, is cute as Cherubino and Rita Cullis is a knockout as the countess. Her husband is an idiot to neglect her. She is a well nigh perfect woman. a lady in the draw- ing room and, one just knows, a tiger in the sack. If there were still such things as stage door john- nies, they'd be lining up to greet her as she leaves the theatre. Oh and she sings too .. like an angel, fallen or otherwise. Jan Opolach could perhaps be more insou- ciant as Figaro but Gaetan Laperrii%re is the ideal count. Stephen Lawlor directs with just the right and cor- rect blend of farce and sophistication. Jane Glover coaxes, cajoles, what ever, a gorgeous sound from the superb orchestra. Now, please pardon us while we relax from infor- mation and sensory overload before going on to THE OPERA: TWO Some works of the per- forming arts are described as little known. Given the prolificity (did someone out there also add prollixi- ty?) it is perhaps not sur- prising that some works of W. A. Mozart are not, at least familiar. One of them is the opera La Clemenza di Tito (The Clernency of Titus ). It was the last of his commission- ed operas and, for what ever reason or reasons, has never been given a stage presentation in Canada un- til now as another part of the Canadian Opera Com- pany's contribution to the current Glory of Mozart Festival. it was ;resented at the Glorious Elgin Theatre. There are two regrets to be expressed over La C3emenza di Tito. The first is for those who did not see it. The second is over the realization that much of Mozart's works, and perhaps some for which he is best and lovingly remembered, were actual- ly throwaways, light pedes. meringues when compared to La Clernerua.

Briefly -ever so briefly - stated, it is set in Rome during the reign of popular emperor Titus (Tito) Flavius Sabinus Vespa- sianus historically and con- temporarily admired for his magnaminity and mer- cy. Determined to exact revenge on Tito when he refuses to marry her, one Vitellia leads a plot to assassinate him. It fails but rather than sentencing the conspirators to death, Tito mercifully spares them. A story of baseness and charity. Or is it? Is the libretto of Mazzola (after Metastasio) a musical polemic on the duplicity of politics? And, if it is, does anyone really care? Can anyone care about anything else after being bathed in the glories of what might rightly be con- sidered one of Mozart's finest scores? Can anyone fail to realize that the singers truly rose to the occasion: the occa- sion of a fine scare being presented for the fust time on the opera stage in Canada? Were they, in Worts parlance. perform- ing over their head? Who knows and again, who cares. Surely it is sufficient to bathe in cascades of melody, showered by angels of song. Very well, perhaps we're becoming overblown but that's the effect that La Ckmx era had upon us. Notwithstanding the grandeur of the story line, the cast is a small one. only five members but each distinguished his or her self. Titus was sung by Richard Margisson with all the nobility required by the difficult role. In today's world and probably in the time of Titus as well, he might have been con- sidered a well intentioned twit. Perhaps Titus was but Mr. Maugi.wn is most cer- tainly not. He is every inch the man. the man of true nobility. Margaret Marshall is wickedly bitchy as the bride manquu6e and Susan Quittmeyer in a britches role as her dupe is the very essence of tortured cons- cience. There is another britches role, it is that of Annius played by Jean Stilwell as a tortured young patrician idealist. Why the britches cross over roles? We really don't know but hazard that they were written originally for castratti. Robert Milne and Donna Brown roundeds out the ex- celknt cast and the or- chestra under Leopold Hager reached, we swear, new heights of muagn' ficence. Is there, was there a fault to be found in the produc- tion? We discerned one but are quick to point out that it is a subjective considera- tion. For what ever reason, the design is that of the middle ages. Perhaps ecorwmcis had something to do with it. Be that as it might we would have preferred the design to reflect ancient Rome where line and con- tour were considered superior to colour and embellishment. A small and admittedly subjective criticism of a fine work: a fine work wtucn we deplore not hav- ing seen before. Bravo, Canadian Opera Company! ON SCREEN: Dying Young (20th Cen- tury Fox) is the latest film of Hollywood's latest mega star, Julia Roberts. We ex- pect that cynical reviewers will dismiss it and mock- ingly retitle it Mortal Pret- ty Woman. Well, let them. As for us, we found it a profoundly moving ex- perience and were wiping away tears at its conclu- sion. That's why we remarked to 20th's Heather MacGillivray -of movie star looks herself -that we are probably T.O.'s worst reviewer when it comes to sentimental film. In our defence however, we sug- gest that only the hardest of hearts could not be mov- ed by Dying Young. Miss Roberts is cast as a street wise young thing with several failed rela- tionships behind her. She Likes a position as a prac- tical nurse for a wealthy young man with leukemia. He seams to enter remis- sion, they go away together, fall in love and then . . well, see it for yourself. Miss Roberts has a most expressive face and caries off wonderful close ups. We don't really know if she is a good actress or not because she's so natural. And, so beautiful -not pretty but beautiful. Campbell Scott is the young man and we are quite taken by him. He looks like a young Tony Randall. ( The latter wasn't always Felix Unger you know. He was quite dashing as a younger man.) As well, he has the same, fine speaking voice. It's noble but human, beartbreakingly so. Yes, Dying Young is a heartbreaking film, for some of us anyway and we make no apology for the ad- mission. We make only the sug- gestion that it not be seen when alone. Ladies will need a comforting arm, men will need a soft shoulder for the dark hours later. AL FRESCO: We were late arriving at the media launch of the CHIN International Picnic (we had been delivering a lecture on the importance of punctuality) but were not too late to catch the an- nournemnents of Johnny and Lenny Lombardi about it. It opens this Saturday and will run through Canada Day. All of the usual and enjoyable attrac- tions will be there again this year except that the picnic will be even bigger than ever. What really caught our ear was the announcement that this is the silver an- niversary of the picnic. It seems that it began 25 Weao qualify with the word "seems" because of something else said by Johnny Lombardi. He said that gorgeous P.R. princess Joyce Barslow has been with the picnic since the beginning. C'mon now Johnny, that can't be correct. Heck, Joyce doesn't look to be any more than in her early thirties. In fact, we find ourself wondering why she doesn't compete in the Receive 50 Yr jewels Pictured above are Brother J. Burke and Companion R. Burke of Court Futura No. 8()8 of the Independent order of Foresters receiving their 50 year Jewels from Brother J. Weddle. President and Supreme Chief Ranger of the In- dependent Order of Foresters. Brother J. Burke has filled all the posits in the taut some of them several times and had just been installed as the chief ranger for the third time. Companion R. Burke started in a cart as the financial secretary and held that position for approximately seven years, than was installed as the Cast Organist a position that she still bolds. During this time Companion Bunte took over the duties of pans[ for the court's Guard of Honor abort 35 years ago. In 1961 she was appointed as the High Court Organist and still holds that position. They both visit other courts and always offer to help in any way they can. This couple has shown dedication and by their example we wish them many more years of forestry. CHIN International Bikini Pageant. Va va va voom Johnny and continued success. AT THE O.K. Opening next Tuesday at The O'Keefe is Cats, arguably one of the more spectacular shows on cir- cuit. It's the first of a pro- jected series of summer musicals and should do well. One most certainly hopes so because the O'Keefe has experienced a spate of bad hick recently. Two of the projected shows have been cancelled. They are Peter Pan with Cathy Rigby and Bye Bye Birdie to have starred Tommy Tune and Anne Reinking. The reasons behind the cancellation of Bye Bye are still being argued. Obvious- ly we can't take sides but will suggest that a certain inVressario will have to give away a helluvalot of popcorn to recover good- will over his role m the ex- ercise. Anyway, opening on August 6th is Meet Me In St. Louis starring a Debbie Boone .. a charming show with a charming lady in the lead. IN MOONLIGHT: The Canadian Mental Health Association an- nounced a most interesting glamorous fund raising event scheduled for Canada Day. It's the Black Tie and Boat Shoes Fantasy Fireworks Cruise aboard the Empress of Canada from 7:30 tin 11:30 p.m. The cruise will feature participation in Harbour - front's Parade of Lights, a "front row seat" to watch the Canada Day fireworks from Harbourfront and the International Fireworks Competition at Ontario Place. Also included is a buffet dinner and dancing on a moonlit deck. Black tie is optional (though why anyone would opt for anything else escapes us) but boat shoes are very definitely suggested. Sounds like a real hoot and the price is most reasonable .. only $60 per person, GST included. Can't resist adding that for many, GST stand for Great Sex Tonight. Well, it's better than Ovaltine for a good sleep. FAST EXIT: Congratulations to Anne and Ed Mirvish who recently celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. God bless you both and vouchsafe to you another 50 years together.

"Their demonstration was fascinating and definitely a must for next year," said Captain Brewster. Another selling point for the day was the Metro Parks Ferry Trillium which carried passengers, free of charge, across the Inner Harbour from the THC's Pier 6 Information Centre in the heart of the city's waterfront to the Port Day site. the ferry carried 4,2D0 passengers during its four trips to the Container Distribution Centre.

THE ANIMAL RESCUE MISSION Recently the Animal Rescue Mission had a display at the Pickering Town Centre. These people are devoted to animals and their mission is to save all unwanted pets and rescue animals in distress. It is run by full and part time volunteers and is entering its 21st year of operation. One of the fine programs that you can take part in is to become a "foster parent".

If you are interested and would like more information write to: The animal Rescue Mission, 2793 Danforth Ave., Toronto, Ontario M4C 1L9. The monthly newspaper is automatically sent to all pet foster parents. ANIMAL RESCUE MISSION In last week's column I told you about the Mission's Foster Parents Plan.

One in particular is the St. Francis Pet Food Bank for Senior Citizens and others who may be short of pet food on a short term basis.

If you find orphaned baby animals such as kittens, puppies, squirrels, etc., they will supply you with free canned formula to help you nurse them during their in- fancy. They also have recipes for homemade formula for various species of animal orphans. Without their mother, such babies are at the mercy of the elements. For more in- formation call 698-1111. ST.

Board -wide in- itiatives to reduce, reuse and recycle will be established and staff will be required to support and participate in the program. It was noted that the board*s garbage disposal costs had increased by 450% over the past 4 years and that the 1991 budget for waste disposal is $420,500. As of April 1, 1991, those disposing of banned ar- ticles such as cardboard, wood, fine paper, newspaper, metal or drywall can be fined if these articles are put in the regular garbage for disposal at landfill sites. Architect Appointed The firm of J.R Freethy, Architects, has been ap- pointed to design and supervise the construction of the board's new 3o,000 square foot Maintenance shop. The facility is to be constructed on the site of the current Maintenance shop in the south end of Ajax. School Named The unnamed Pickering Beach elementary school, Ajax, will be named "Cadarackque Public School". Several recom- mendations for the new school were considered and the name Cadarackque was chosen as it is the Seneca Indian name for Lake Ontario and it will reflect the native heritage of the area. Construction Contract Awarded Lennis Trotter, Ar- chitect, was retained in September 1990 to design the renovations to Athabasca P.S. Sketch plans for the renovations were approved in February by the Board. As a result of the recent tendering for the project, the board will award the contract for the interior renovations and elevator installation to J. Velacich & Sons Construc- tion limited in the contract amount of $396,251. The total project at a cost of $467,533. was approved by trustees and will be financ- ed from current funds.
