The Environmental Steering Committee was formed in the fall of 1989 from an ad hoc group of concerned and en- vironmentally committed Durham educators. The group began the task of providing leadership in moving the board toward awareness, knowledge and action in the area of the en- vironment. With the assistance and co- operation of numerous staff and community members, many en- vironmental activities have begun. These include an environmental summit and follow-up conference, the development of a draft environmental policy, a se- cond environmental sum- mit, presentations to a number of other school boards and groups, the co- ordination of Earth Day ac- tivities and tree plantings at Durham schools. Director Pauline Laing and Durham Board Chair- man Ian Brown presented committee members John Briggs, Jim Cook, Jan Montgomery, David Royle, Don Farquharson, Linda Stuparyk and Jay Thibert with plaques to com- memorate their winning of tremendous support.

September 25, 1991 Opinion a page for expression for you and us We Need Good Government At Ottawa by Bob Watson It must be the Canadian way - but it sure isn't the way for many of us Canadians. We refer to the fact that most of the time being used by federal Tories running our federal government is spent on a constitution making sure that Quebec gets to be "distinct" - whatever that means'. The real problems in our society are economic not con- stitutional. For instance it is known by all economists that our dollar value in relation to the US dollar should be around 75 or 77 cents instead of the ridiculous 88 cents which it is. And the Bank of Canada head man keeps it up there . . why" He says to keep inflation under control .. when a lot of people believe it is because of a secret clause in the Mulroney deal with the USA on free trade. Our dollar hasn't dropped below 86 cents since free trade went into action. In- teresting, eh? Our interest rates have been as high as 5% more than in the USA since free trade started. Ask yourself why'. It seems important to us that our country is geared to compete successfully in the world and we are not doing that right now. With a lower dollar value we could sell much more and compete with the USA in its own market. Residents in the USA would be coming to Canada to shop in- stead of the current trend. The Reform Party last week told Scarborough residents what its policies would be and they seem to answer all of our national problems. They would lower our dollar and in- terest rates. They would spend the first three years in government tackling the cost of government and arrive at a balanced budget. Then they would tackle the national debt of over $500 billion. The Reform Party has 90,000 members in all of Canada right now %finch is more members than any outer political party. Listening to their program of running the govern- ment suggests strongly that this party would be the right one to have in office. A Balanced Budget Mike Harris. MPP Nippissing and leader of the Pro- gressive Conservatives in Ontario says he is going to in- troduce a private member's bill in the legislature to require provincial governments to balance their budgets each year as they require municipal governments to do. Mr. Harris says: "I believe provincial governments should have to balance their budgets at least once every three years and if not they should be prepared to defend their deficit in a provincial referu ndum or a general elec- tion. The PC leader is asking local councils to back his idea by passing a resolution requesting the Bob Rae government to allow inclusion of a balanced budget question on the coming municipal election ballot. STATFACTS According to Statistics Canada visible minorities have a higher level of schooling than other Canadians. A full 60% of visible minorities have some post -secondary education, as compared to 50% of other Canadians. About 3D% of visible minorities in the labour force had university degrees, com- pared to 12% of other Canadians. Filipinos have the highest level of education among visible minorities with three quarters having a post -secondary education and one third possessing a university degree. Most visible minorities m Canada are recent immigrants. Statistics Canada reveals that in 1996 four-fifths of the Black and Chinese groups were born outside of Canada and had lived in the country an average of 12 years. Immigrants to Canada that are not part of a visible minority have lived here an average of 24 years. South East Asians are Canada's most recent immigrants with the average being seven years. Japanese Canadians are Canada's most established visible minority having lived in the country an average of 16 years. A recent Statistics Canada publication states that approx- imately one-fifth of the visible minorities in the work force are living below Statistics Canada low income cut-off levels. One -ninth of other Canadians live under similar con- ditions. Out of the ten largest groups of visible minorities, only the Japanese, West Asians and Arab Canadians have standards of living above those of other Canadians. South East Asian and Latin Americans are the worst off, with ap- proximately a third living in low-income situations. newsr,4(- [post] Published every Weectesday by Watson Publishing Company Limited, Est. 1950 Postal Address: Box 111, Art:tcourt, Ont.

Federal Labour Minister Marcel Danns recently released "What About You?" a video which features six women who share their experiences and talk about the benefits and challenges associated with working in non-traditonal oc- cupations. At the launch of the video, Mr. Danis stated: "What About You?" provides excellent role models for young peo- ple still in school. those who are planning to enter or re- enter the workforce, and those who are thinking about changing careers.,. The six dynamic Canadians profiled in the video include a pilot, a research scientist and manager, a television pro- ducer and camera operator, a firefighter, an aerospace engineer, and an electronics technician. Minister Danis emphasized the importance of encourag- ing women to consider these and similar non-traditional oc- cupations: "These jobs offer many advantages and benefits including rewarding work and good pay. Women should give serious consideration to entering any of these exciting fields." The Minister reminded his audience that business, labour, educators, women's organizations, and government have a vital role to play in making women aware of the vast range of occupations from which they can choose. Mr. Danis encouraged a partnership approach among these stakeholders to promote women's entry into non-traditional occupations. "What About You?" was commissioned by the Women's Bureau of Labour Canada to increase awareness of the many opportunities available to women in "non-traditional" occupations and encourage women to consider jobs in these fields. The User's Guide which ac- companies the video provides background information and can be used to stimulate discussion and encourage follow- up activities by groups which view "What About You?" Non-traditional occupations are those in which women To The People Of Ontario Ontario's long -cherished principle of power at cost is under attack by the Provincial Government. Under amendments to the Power Corporations Act in- troduced last June, the province will be able to force On- tario Hydro to implement "policy directives" that may have nothing to do with Hydros business - the supply of safe. reliable, sufficient electricity. This means Hydro can be used as an instrument of the Ontario Government's social or economic policy agenda - even if it has nothing to do with electric power. And that's not all. These same amendments would make you and me - Ontario's electricity consumers - pay for these policy directives in our electricity bills. This is a new "tax grab" - an unprecedented, regressive tax that uses our elec- tricity rates as a new source of Government revenues. In addition, this legislation would allow Hydro to use your electricity rates to pay people to switch from electricity to natural gas. Why should the electricity consumer pay to give the private gas utilities more customers? Ontario's economic health and industrial growth has been due, in large part, to a reliable supply of electricity at reasonable cost. It's time to take a stand against the Government's attack on the principle of power at cost. The East York Hydro -Electric Commission 175 Memorial Park Ave.,East York M4J 4Y6 Dealing With Violence In Ontario's Schools Marion Boyd, Minister of Education, has commented on a survey released last month by the Ontario Teachers' Federation. The federation released figures which indicate a rise in the number of physical and verbal assaults against teachers and staff in Ontario's schools. "I'm deeply concerned about violence in our schools and society in general. The Federation can count on my Ministry to help eliminate the threat of violence against teachers." The Ministry intends to meet with the OTF to discuss its survey and recommendations. "My :Ministry provides sup- port to teachers and staff on issues of violence and anti- social behaviour in a variety of ways. and we must continue to expand our efforts." said Mfrs. Boyd. The Ministry provides policy and resource documents that give practical suggestions on dealing with intruders on school property and examine the responsibility and authori- ty of secondary schools to provide young people with discipline and direction. Secondary schools must have a clear code of student behaviour which is developed with the help of parents, students and staff for the approval of the board. Other initiatives include. an internal Ministry work group which has been reviewing legislation and policies pertaining to violence and anti -social behaviour. Ministry involvement in two government related programs: Sexual Assault Prevention and Family Violence Prevention In- itiatives. Helping Children Adjust: a Tri -Ministry Project, that identifies practices that help children with social ad- justment problems : and The Secondary School Students At Risk Project is a six year study which will address the needs of adolescents in Ontario who are experiencing psychosocial and education difficulties. ..Schools are a reflection of society - so addressing the issue of violence in the schools and educating our young people is a good starting point for modifying behaviour and putting a stop to all types of violence including assault, sex- ual assault and abuse and violence against women," said Mrs. Boyd. Students must also be accountable for their actions, Mrs. Boyd said. "Assault is a crime. We need to make it clear through our actions that we don't condone it." 'Buyer's market' conditions prevail across On- tario In spite of strong activity from first-time purchasers earlier this year, most real estate markets in Ontario are still reporting •buyer's market' conditions, according to the Royal LePage Fall 1991 Town and Country Survey. "There has been little or no change in property values from the Spring of this year," says Sue Cumberland, Town and Country Properties Manager. "However, there are signs of a gradual return to more normal market condi- tions. It looks like the price slide of the past year or so may be ending," says Cumberland. "But buyers are still very cautious and taking their time before making a decision." are currently under -represented in the workforce.

"We know the impact this increase will have on our customers and we've tried to be sensitive about that," said Eliesen. "We have taken the necessary steps to keep the system reliable and to ensure that Hydro is financially sound, because that meets the needs of our customers, both at home and at work. "Our electricity system is aging, and parts of it need to be replaced or refurbished. Reliability of the electricity system is very important to Ontario's economy. We are making the investments that are needed to make sure we have electricity when we need it." More than half the in- crease is caused by the Annual General Meeting Medina Theatre Ensem- ble is inviting the public and friends to attend its an- nual general meeting on Wed.

"Darlington will cost us about $1.3.5 billion. As it starts to produce electrici- ty, we have to start paying for it through our customers' rates. Darl- ington will represent about 30 percent of Ontario Hydro's assets, so paying for it will naturally raise Hydro rates substantially as the units come into ser- vice." Other nuclear costs in- clude those of reactor retubing at the older Pickering "A" station. Also, the below forecast performance of Hydro's ex- isting nuclear stations has increased Hydro's overall costs significantly. The plants were designed to operate at an average 80 percent capacity, but last year operated at only 63 percent.

Sept. 29th at 2 p.m. The woodchip -covered, 450 metres trail follows a stream that eventually flows into the Don River. A microcosm of southern On- tario habitat, the trail's thick underbrush consists of viburnum, elderberry. Dogwood. wild grape and highbush cranberry. Kurt Crist is an amateur naturalist with a lifelong interest in nature. He work- ed for Weall 6t Cullen Nurseries for 20 years, and often filled in for Mark Cullen on both radio and television when Mark was ratable to host his show. In 1985, Kurt led a six-week garden tour of Australia and New Zealand. Today, Kurt runs a nature store called The Backyard Naturalist in Unionville. Jack Radecki who earn- ed a Bachelor of Sciences degree c Forestry l from the University of Toronto has been Supervisor of Arbor Services for Com- mernorative Services of Ontario since 1977. He is responsible for the nursery and planting and care of collections of trees in nine cemeteries in the Greater Toronto Area. He is known internationally for his work, and often lectures in both Canada and the United States. Radecki advises those planning to join the nature walk to dress for the weather, and to wear com- fortable shoes. Everyone is invited to join the nature walk, and there is no charge. Refreshments will be serv- ed afterwards. The walk starts inside the cemetery gates on the wast side of Kennedy Rd., just north of St. Clair Ave. YWCA Needs Volunteers Volunteers are needed for the following pro- grams: FOOD BANK Volunteers are needed to drive their own car or van to pick up food donations for the YWCA's crisis shelter and apartment highrise during the day at two locations SpadinaiBloor, Papei- Queen. CHILDCARE Volunteers are needed during the day to take care of children of mothers who participate to a food bank in the Pape 'Queen area. GROUP ASSISTANT A volunteer is needed during the day to bring a participant of a violence support group to the Bar- bra Schiifer Clinic, Scar- -borough to downtown Toronto. The volunteer should have a car and an understanding of the issues surrounding violence. If interested in any of the above positions, call the Volunteer Manager at 961-8100. Mississauga. The rate increase will reduce Hydro's need to bor- row or draw down its reserves. "We know that our customers don't want us to keep borrowing indefinite- ly against future revenues to keep rate increases down. Hydro has dipped in- to its reserve two years in a ,row already and it is im- portant to get out of this practice as quickly as we can. At the same time, in the current economic climate we can't ask our customers to shoulder a rate increase which would avoid withdrawing from the reserve. "Our plans are to achieve more moderate rate increases in about two years without having to tap our reserve." Eliesen said. The 11.8 percent hike is an average increase. Specific increases to municipal utilities, large direct industrial customers and rural customers will be determined next month. ��0rtr aw a, -.Ad Actual increases vary depending on consumption patterns, transmission delivery costs and other factors. The increase would raise the averge monthly bill for 1,000 kilowatt-hours to about $78. For customers of municipal utilities, the in- crease could be higher or lower depending on the revenue requirement of the municipality utility. 12v% A L L' �` { S,—, 15th ANNIVERSARY DINNER SPECIALS Served Mon.-Ttiurs. from 4 .

Irbrary Theatre at 3.31-7170. Queen's Park Reporf Gerry Phillips, M.P.P. Scarborough Agincourt Liberal Leader Murray Elston recently announced a re- alignment of critic responsibilities for the official opposi- tion In this move I was very pleased to be named as our party's critic for Treasury and Economics. Since its introduction last April it has been my opinion that Treasurer Floyd Laughren's first budget would have far reaching imrpheations for the province. Despite record spending of $52.8 billion and a record deficit of $9.7 billion the budget is bankrupt of the initiatives needed to provide incentives to create jobs. The deficit is three times as high as it has ever been. Yet, there are no concrete proposals to get people back to work. It is my in- tention to vigorously address these issues when the Haase resumes sitting next Mon. Sept. 23 rd. In addition, the province's triple -A -credit -rating has been downgraded which will lead to an increase in the province's borrowing costs. The government has indicated that On- tario has not seen the end to record deficit levels. Instead, the problem has been virtually institutionalized. By the end of its mandate the NDP still anticipate an annual deficit of approximately $8 billion. By 1994-95 these deficits will have nearly doubled Ontario's debt to over 176 billion. The seriousness of these issues simply cannot be overstated. I am looking forward to my duties as critic as it is my firm belief that the current government's economic policies are the first step towards establishing a completely unmanageable financial situation in Ontario.

Ontario M1P4N7 cry OF SCAR00ROUGM •047rRiO Page i THE NEWS! POST Wed. September 25, 1"1 Bill Watt's Worlds DINNER THEATRE: For some time now, the intelligentsia have been at- tempting to relegate playwrite Neil Simon to the provenance of the hoi polloi. You see, Mr. Simon is successful and success in one's own theatrical lifetime is regarded as vaguely suspect. They say his lines are too slick and even, glib; his works are unendingly referred to as simple Simon. It seems never to cross their minds (con- stricted doubt by furrowed brows) to consider them as simply Simon; clever, well constructed and frequent- ly, hilariously funny. Consider his latest play. It's titled "Rumours" and is holding current residence at Stage West Theatre Restaurant. It's a farce comedy in the British manner and one has the feeling that Mr. Simon has simply said to himself "Why not write a British farce and Americanize it?" What ever its source or in- spiration, Rumours is a funny play and performed reasonably well at Stage West. The premise -the premisel is this. Several wealthy couples arrive for a tenth wedding aniveisary celebration. The hostess is missing; the host has been shot in his ear lobe. Call the police? Don't be silly; this is a farce comedy. One of the guests is a lawyer who had read too many Perry Mason navels; another is seeking public office. Get the picture? Neither wants public involvement so everything must be hushed UV So, there are two acts of doors opening and closing, frenetic movements, shouted wisecracks and general tomfoolery. Routine stuff? Probably. . except that it has the dialogue of Neil Simon; funny, straight from the holster dialogue in a little under two hours of fun. Rumours -the title doesn't really mean much -is an ensemble play meaning that there need be no true star. For box office pur- poses, however, Elliott Gould has been so billed and responds nicely to the gentle burden imposed upon him. Mr. Gould is now portly and, in character or of physical necessity, shambles through his role of bemused irritation in a manner quite winning. Kathy Michael McGlynn is his wisecracking wife - she has most of the best lines and her high sting energy counterbalances the simmering stolidity of Mr. Gould. John Evans blusters rather too much as does Cheryl MacInnis in their respective roles of not too bright lawyer and nicotine neurotic wife but it doesn't really matter. Reliable Avery Saltzman convulses one in his role of emotional counsellor as much as Muiam Newhouse as his wife Cookie. She is a television cooking shove hostess who reminds one of P.B.S. Buffalo's Goldie. Can you picture her? Mary Long is the man- datory sexy little thing and Ralph Small is along as her silly ass politico husband. One would laugh harder at his antics except that they're uncomfortably close to those of the people presently running our government. A brace of nice extended walk-ons by Ron L done and Linda Murphy as in - Our 41st. Year of service to the community.

No mat- ter; it shouldn't diminish your enjoyment of the play. The only thing that might is where you sit. The Stage West room is a tricky one to stage and not all sight lines are exemplary. The management, no doubt with good intentiaas, had seated us right at the stage and to the side. We were close enough to see 'the perspiration on the per- former's faces .. when we could see the performers! The stage is far too high for adequate audience vision that close to the front and side. As well, we were under whelmed by our proximity to the kitchen. Insist on be- ing seated on the risers at least and preferably head on to the stage.

BIG STAGE: Anyone who follows theatre must surely have remarked upon the remarkable longevity of theatre people. Not only do they live long, they stay young until that moment when the final exit is decreed. As Andy Rooney might say. why is that? To us the answer seems quite simple and obvious. People of and in the theatre are doing that which they like to do. As well, the world of theatre is a long range one, plans are made years in advance and one is always working in an- ticipation. As an example of the lat- ter consideration allow us to mention the 1992-93 subscription series for the Royal Alexandra and the as yet unnamed new theatre just to the west of it. Opening on Sept. 13th is the new musical The Secret Garden. It will be followed by Neil Simon's Lost In Yonkers. The fust three months of 1993 will see The Magical Mystery Show with which David Mirvish p "a nig surprise On Apr. 12th "The Good Times Are Killing Me" moves in until May 29th. This is the musical play by syndicated cartoonist Lyn- da Barry that is currently wowing audiences in New York. The venerable Guys and Dolls nuns from June 1st until July 17th. This is a new version by Jerry 7aks and it doesn't open on Broadway until March, 1992. All of the works listed will be playing at the Royal Alexandra. Then on May 31st, 1993, the new theatre will open with Miss Saigon, in a pro- duction more lavish even than the one shown in New York. There are no theatres there large enough to accommodate the production that we will see here in Toronto in the new lavish theatre. Subscribers receive a discount of up to $86 over single ticket prices for these shows but there's even more good news. Subscribers can reserve their seating now with a deposit of only $50 and then pay nothing until May 1st, 1992. You're Molting for the Pauline Browes.

LITTLE STAGE: 5 & Dime Productions - that's the correct name, no foolin'-are presenting the Canadian premiere of David Hare's The Secret Rapture. Previews start tomorrow and the official opening is next Tuesday. The Secret Rapture is what one used to refer to as a morality play but given its production auspices, one suspects a strong feminist slant will prevail. Nothing the matter with that, of course, but forewarned etc. It is being presented at The Theatre Centre located at 1032 Queen St., one block west of Ossington. Must say we can't picture the location in the mind's eye and so cannot comment upon the availability of parking but remind readers that there is public transit to the door .. unless our red rocketeers become feisty again.

Seven films are to be shown, six of them in tandem with the original sensation, North of Superior arguably the best of all the Imax films. The other six are Speed, Seasons, Blue Planet, On The Wing, The Deepest Garden and Homeland. It's an excellent selection as always but if one were to pick a personal favourite, it would be On The Wing with its marvellous close up of birds in flight. MUSIC NOTES: Charmer Catherine Wilson reminds us that Catherine Wilson's Trio Vi- vant appears this Friday, 7:30 p.m at the Pickering Public Library. This is in the nature of a tune up (no pun intended) for its grand concert on November at the Jane Mallet Theatre. FOOD NOTES: Ken Reuter of the Black weekends.

September 25, 1991 Business Community News Fast Track Program For AutoTechnicians A new `fast track' ap- prenticeship program that will cut the qualifying period to three years from five for automotive service technicians was officially launched recently by Hon- da Canada Inc., the Ontario Ministry of Skills Develop- ment and Centennial Col- lege of Applied Arts and Technology. The Honda Appren- ticeship Program will allow Ontario students to qualify to write the Cer- tificate of Qualification ex- am to obtain a Class A mechanic's license in just three years instead of the usual five years. The course consists of a com- bination of classroom and laboratory instruction at Centennial's Ashtonbee campus in Scarborough. and on-the-job experience in the service department of a Honda dealership. The intense three-year program consists of two years of alternating periods of classroom in- struction and on-the-job ex- perience with a sponsoring Honda dealer, followed by a year of work experience with the dealership. "The demand for a new breed of skilled automotive service technicians is steadily increasing but the supply of qualified young people to fill the positions is declining," said Bill Walsh, Training Specialist with Honda Canada Inc. "Servicing today's technologically advanced cars requires more than just a wrench," he explain- ed, adding that the tradi- tional mechanic is being replaced by a highly - trained diagnostic techni- cian capable of meeting the challenges of the every - changing automotive in- dustry. Wiih the declining population in the 18 to 34 age group and a wider range of technologically oriented jobs. the industry could face a shortage of qualified service techni- cians in the future.

Oriole The beginning of a new school year should be a time when students are intrigued by their academic pursuits and in- spired by $brim career goals. But for many of the province's students, the bleakness of higher tuition fees, less funding for their programs, a rising cost of education, and the government's lack of intrest about these problems, weighs heavily on their minds. During last summer's election campaign. Bob Rae pro - wised the students of Ontario he would do away with tuition fees altogether. Instead, students entering and returning to post secondary institutions this fall will be hit with an eight percent increase over last year's tuition fees. The average tuition fee for Ontario universities is $1.770, up $135 from last year. For community college students the tuition fee is SW on average, up $60 from last year. But high tuition fees are not the only misfortune Ontario's students have to contend with this year. High youth unemployment during the summer made saving for school impossible for many students. A discouraging 16.5 percent of Ontario's yang people were not able to find a summer One year ago, the NDP promised to subsidize 60 percent of Ontario's elementary and secondary school bill. The N'DP sent a message to the voters that property taxes would, in fact, be reduced because of the proposal. The pro- vince's share of education has fallen under the NDP to just 40.5 percent of costs. putting more pressure on local rate pavers. At a time when students are economically disadvantag- ed, the NDP could only deliver a 7.3 percent increase in operating grants for post -secondary institutions for 1991-92. That is lower than the 8.5 percent increase granted for the 1990.91 year by the previous Liberal government. The decrease in operating grants means over -crowded classes. obsolete equipment, and diminishing teaching and research resources. Meanwhile, the Ontario Student Assistance Program OSAP ) is not being tailored to cope with the needs of students. Many students complain that OSAP underestimates the real cost of going to university or col- lege. Middle-income families who are deemed as able to af- ford to give assistance to their children are themselves hav- ing financial difficulties due to the recession. The government must look at enriching Ontario's future by investing in youth today. Education is the tool we should use to enhance our global competitiveness, but without pro- per funding that is impossible. Caring For Aging Relatives Due to a large demand a third "Caring For Aging Relatives" group is being offered by the Scarborough Health Department. "Caring For Aging Relatives" is a series of 8 sessions covering such topics as managing the physical and emotional changes of aging, examin- ing safety and medication concerns and discussing community resources and housing options. In addition to programs starting Sept. 25 and Sept. 30, a new group will run Tuesday mormngs beginn- ing Oct. 8 from 9:30 - 11:30 a.::.

"Honda has demonstrated its commit- ment to training by its in- volvement in every step of the development of this program," he added. "They have been involved in everything from the development of the cur- riculum and providing text books to building an exact duplicate of a Honda ser- vice bay at the college, complete with cars, parts, tools and sophisticated diagnostic equipment," he added. Honda's capital costs for the start up of the program were $90.000, including renovation of the service lab and classroom, equip- ment and specialized Hon- da tools and the donation of four Honda vehicles for the exclusive use of the ap- prenticeship students. Former communit:. association president David Soknacki has entered the race for Ward 8 City Councillor, Scar- borough. After representing his community as a ratepayer, David Soknacki has decid- ed he would be more effec- tive taking communities' interests to city hall as a councillor. Soknacki believes that one of the key issues in the campaign will be preserva- tion of neighbourhoods. "This issue," says Soknacki, ..means standing up for the average citizen, especially when facing changes in land use or zon- ing. Council must be more attentive to the needs and wishes of the community..' A resident of Ward 8 since 1963, David Soknacki is married and with one son. He owns and operates a business in Scarborough. Soknacki has been in- volved with Scarboro Television for a number of years as a volunteer pro- ducer and interviewer. His credits have included a series on social services in Scarborough, and another on summer programs available through Scar- borough.

Reform Party Holds Meeting The Ontario coordinator of the Reform Party, Reg Gosse of Kitchener. Ont., held a question and answer period with an audience at Sir Oliver Mowat Col- legiate last Saturday. The meeting revealed that 90 federal ridings in Ontario are now organized and there are 25,000 members of the Reform Party in Ontario now with 90.000 members throughout Canada. This makes the membership of the Reform Party the largest of any political party in the couu�- ry- Mr. Gosse revealed the fiscal policy of his party. He told the audience that a government should live within its means and not have to borrow. He said they have 27 proposals on how to cut the debt and would aim to reduce the an- nual debt in three years. After that, they would work on reducing the national debt now over $500 billion. Reg Gosse also said that one of the policies of the Reform Party is to abolish the official languages act and also multiculturalism About Incineration The Works Committee of Metro Council dealt with the topic of incineration last week. Mayor Dave Johnston of East York wanted to know why there were no studies on using incineration for waste disposal. Works Commissioner Ferguson said he would like approval of a task force of engineers and scientists to conduct an in- depth review of incinera- tion versus landfill using all available evidence on the environmental, economic, social and health related impacts of these two technologies. Mayor Johnston asked if the task force approves of incineration can the Minister of the Environ- ment, Ruth Grier say "Gee, I'm wrong,,, Ferguson said he has to be optimistic but has no definitive studies just opi- nions so far. Ruth Grier declared on her appointment as Minister of the Environ- ment that no incineration would be allowed. Councillor Paul Christie said he felt that it was the object to embarrass the Minister - but she does a good job on her own. Councillor Joan King said she would like doctors on the incineration task force instead of just academics and engineers. grants. The Indian Affairs dept. would also be abolish- ed. He pointed out that the number of departments in the Ottawa government is 39 whereas in the United States it is 12 and in the United Kingdom it is only '16. And the Reform Party would have referendums on critical issues that arise so that the people can exer- cise their voice in this democracy. The Reform Party also wants to reform Parlia- ment and make it possible for a member of the House of Commons to disagree with his political party without fear of retaliation. Paul Kelly of Scar- borough West riding, was on the platform for the meeting and about 60 peo- ple attended.

Jones Cruise: (kruz) A vaca- tion of endless possibilities which includes: kicking your heels up to the beat of the band; finessing your way under the limbo pole; trying your luck at the blackjack table and slot machines; singing along at the piano bar; enjoying a Las Vegas revue; feasting on delectable meals; stroll- ing on deck in the moonlight; or sipping tropical libations as you laze by the pool Daniel Webster may not define "cruise" this way, but Florida has given the term new meaning. Whether venturing out of Miami, Tampa, St. Petersburg, Fort Lauder- dale, Palm Beach, Port Canaveral, Key West, Fort Myers, or Jacksonville, a cruise is an absolute must. There are approximately 29 cruise lines serving Florida, offering a variety of formats and attractive destinations. If you've found that you've jammed so many activities into your agenda that you don't have an ex- tra couple of days to spend on shipboard, it's not necessary that you com- pietely give up the idea of a cruise. You can spend an after noon or evening floating along various rivers or Florida's coastal water- ways. Some prefer a daytime excursion, while others prefer a romantic evening under the stars. Take, for instance, SeaEscape. Ltd. Departing from Miami, you can enjoy a one day cruise to Freeport Lucaya, Bahamas. Or. should you find it more convenient to begin your cruise from Port Canaveral, a spec- tacular view of Kennedy Space Center sends you on your voyage of the Atlan- tic. And now, SeaEscape ser- vices the Fort Lauderdale and St. Petersburg areas, too. They offer a "cruise to nowhere", which allows guests to seek refuge aboard this floating paradise. Once aboard the ship, guests may wish to try their luck at American roulette, black jack, craps, or slot machines in the ship's casino.

If all of this isn't enough, add to it, cabarets and revues, a piano bar, party games and contests, and three filling meals. SeaEscape provides an ex- cellent opportunity for vacationers to experience Florida hospitality firsthand. The Southern Elegance Cruiseship in Panama City is a 251 -foot, Z,ODaton craft which sails the sparkling Gulf of Mexico. Venture out on its Sun & Fun cruise with the whole family-, supervised activities for the children will allow you to enjoy yourself to the fullest without the hassle of keeping the kids entertain- ed. A plentiful champagne brunch on board the ship means delicious food and no mess to clean up. Then. participate in some unique contests and party games, or lounge about the deck with a favorite drink while getting that much desired savage tan. For those with a weakness for romance, Southern Elegance sails in the evening., too. After a succulent meal, impress your date with your fancy prancing on the dance floor, or take a plunge in the jacuzzi. There is even a full entertainment casino on board. Perhaps a moonlit stroll is more your style. Either way, this din- ner cruise is as romantic as its ship's name. Feel like a little decadence? Also out of Panama City, Destiny Cruises offers four splendid opportunities for a sen- timental journey on a spacious sailboat. The Destiny is a Mogan 41 foot Ketch, fully equipped for offshore blue water cruis- ing and island hopping. They offer a sunset cruise and a moonlight cruise, both of which last about two hours and include wine and cheeses, or soft drinks for those who prefer not to indulge. The sunset and moonlight cruises sail predominantly around the St. Andrews Bay. There is a good chance that guests aboard the Destiny will spy dolphin enjoying a little merriment of their own. The Destiny also makes two half-day jaunts which last approximately three hours. If you venture out on the morning trip, expect to cruise to Shell Island for a try at snorkeling; gear is provided.

They finish each other's sentences and always seem to know what the other one is thinking, but yesterday something just plain weird hap- pened. Kyle was in the kitchen with Em when he suddenly turned white and complained that his wrist hurt. To make a long story short, Em got a call soon after that from Belinda, who was in the emergency ward of our local hospital. She'd broken her wrist doing gymnastics after school. I know it sounds crazy, but Em and I accepted long ago that there is a special toll-free open - line number operating between Kyle and Belinda, although they never talk about it. Anyway, poor Belinda didn't sleep too well last night with her new cast and came down this morning talking about how windy it had been all night. We asked her how she knew it had been windy and she said because she'd listened to the wind whistling in her window all night. Well, then it was my turn to go white. I had this men- tal image of winged dollar signs flying out the window in the form of heat loss. Windows are vulnerable to heat loss. When you need to tour of the trail.

Double -glazed windows are good, but accord- ing to The Hydro, Low Emis- sivity ("Low E") windows are even better. "Low E" windows have a special coating which reflects heat and makes them as energy-efficient as triple -glazed windows, without the bulk and weight. "Low E" windows also reduce condensation. If you're in the market to buy any kind of new window, don't forget to ask what the air leakage rate is for the one you're interested in. If you don't need to replace the window but feel it's an energy loser, caulking and weatherstrip- ping are inexpensive ways to effectively reduce air leakage. Anyway, Belinda's cast has already been autographed by the three of us, and although he wouldn't explain it to Em and me.

These people are drvoted 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". While the mission is looking for a permanent home for the pet, you provide a monthly dona- tion to take care of its food, etc. You will receive a recent colour photograph of your foster pet - Sot a day ($15 per month) is all it costs. If you are interested and would like more information write to: The animal Rescue Mission, 2793 Danforth Ave., Toronto, Ontario M4C IL9. The monthly newspaper is automatically sent to all pet foster parents. Parents Object To Long Walk To School by Brenda Birinyi Frustrated and over- whelmed parents from the William Peak co-op homes in Pickering, are up in arms that the Durham Public School Board is not providing their coop with school bus transportation for their young children. Group chairman Patricia Lyons. came before a Pickering council meeting last Monday night, in an at- tempt to gain the support of council members by bring- ing the dilemma to their at- tention. "I've got my husband out of work right now over this problem," stated Lyon who contends her husband is home from work to en- sure their daughter gets to school safely every day. The distance. according to co-op residents, the children are expected to walk to school is 1.7 km. Contrary to the residents' claim, School Trustee Ruth Ann Schedlich states the distance they have to walk is 1.5 km, therefore putting the children "within walk- ing distance" as she told a crowded group of co-op residents at a meeting held later that same week. It is the disagreement over this distance that has resulted in the residents and School Trustee Schedlich in a hopeless dead -lock as to how this problem will be solved. "You school board members arbitrarily established the school bus pick-up point so it measures within walking distance." shouted out one of the parents. ,,The distance is so close if you changed the pick-up point around the corner, the added block will put urs within bussing limits." The school board trustee did not agree, however the co -en residents maintain the call is that close. Schedlich advised the residents to prepare a case and take it before the school board. She also in- formed them that they have a tough fight ahead of them because the school board's $19 million transportation budget is slated for further cut- backs. Although Schedlich would ttelp the residents, she stated she would not support the parents with their plight and reminded them it was their respon- sibility as parents to ensure their children got to school safely. Unfortunately, the ma- jority of parents in the co- op are in the position where they rely on both parents working. When residents inquired prior to moving in- to the new co-op, they were told that their children would be bussed the distance to school therefore allowing parents to leave for work at their usual times. Now parents are walking over an hour, to and from HighWsh school with their with Rene Soetens, M.P. Many of you have told me Charles Ng must be returned to the United States. That the deficit needs to be cut. That we need more law and order. These are just some of the issues Parliament will be dealing with this fall. It's time to tackle some very important concerns. Last Spring, Justice Minister Kim Campbell clearly stated the government's position that a new extradition law must be formulated. Such legislation would ensure that the likes of Charles Ng would no longer be able to use Canada as a safe haven from rightful prosecution. The current laws governing young offenders must be changed. Extreme differences in current sentencing provi- sions leave courts with no middle ground when faced with an application to transfer the youth to adult court. Greater flexibility, stiffer penalties and increased public protection are part of the package we have put forth. Currently, Bill C-12, an Act to Amend the Young Offenders Act, is before Parliament and should be voted upon this fall. Recently, the Supreme Court struck down the 1982 rape - shield law, which restricted the right to question a complai- nant about her sexual history. To enure that women's rights are upheld in Canada. I expect the government to in- troduce revised legislation in the House this fall. I look forward to representing the opinions expressed to me during the summer at the upcoming Pittance Commit- tee meetings. We will be reviewing the government's spen- ding restraint measures which, for the first time in Cana- dian history, will create a law that will make it illegal for a government to overspend on programs. Without question. the government will have its work cut out for us this autumn. While i will be spending a great deal of my time in Ottawa over the next session. I will still be available at my constituency office to meet with and discuss any federal issue with you. In addition, my Vox Pop Forums kickoff on Sept. 27 at the Rouge Hill Public Library at 7:15 p.m. Together, we can make this a produc- tive and worthwhile session!
