Of Education Notes Japanese Delegatim Visits Six students and three staff members visiting Durham from Shinyo H.S. Sapporo, Japan were in- troduced to trustees by Brock H.S. vice Principal Paul Murray. The group is spending two weeks in Brock as a return exchange for Brock students and staff who visited Japan in late June. Shinvo H.S. and Brock H.S. formalized their sister relationship last October. Brock H.S. will now offer a credit course in the Japanese language and culture begining next semester. The trip to the board of- fice was part of the am- bitious itinerary set up for the Japanese visitors. The leader of the delegation made a formal presenta- tion of a Japanese geisha doll in a glass case to Chairman Ian Brown who assured him the doll would be prominently placed in the board office. Social Skills Learned Neil Simpson, Principal of Sir John A. Macdonald P.S. outlined for trustees the social skills program that has been introduced at the school. Chief Psychologist Dr. Barry Jackson told of the impor- tance of teaching children social skills and conflict resolution techniques. The program has been presented to all Grade 3 and Grade 4 students through 17 sessions during the school year. Some graduates of the program who were in attendance at the meeting sang a song il- lustrating the application of social skills in their daily lives. All were con- gratulated for their part in this valuable program. Trustee Resigns Trustee barrel Berry, who represents Ward 1, 2 and 3, Ajax, offered his resignation to the board. Berry has relocated old of Durham Region and can no longer represent the ratepayers of his area. Trustees accepted the resignation and thanked Berry for his contributions to the board. The decision was made not to replace him before the upcoming election in early November. Areas for Budget Con- sideration to be Identified Each of the board's three standing committees (Finance, PropertyrPlann- ing & Transportation, and Employee Relations) will be asked to submit to the Finance Committee by Inc. 11th, a list of possible items for consideration in the upcoming budget deliberations. This would allow staff the opportunity to provide input into the decision-making process. Should trustees decide to cut items from the 1992 budget, there would be time to publish any cuts and make people aware of any potential ramifica- tions. Staff to Coatawe to Imple- ment Recommendations Staff will continue to im- plement the recommenda- tions contained in the com- prehensive audit of student transportation recently completed by Deloitte & Touche. Representatives of the firm, Jean Paul Gobeil and Duncan McAllister were present to outline for trustees the audit process undertaken by Deloitte Touche and to explain the recommendations put for- ward as a result of their fin- dings. The audit confirmed that the Durham Board transportation system could be more efficient. Costs have escalated over the past eight years due to the increase in the number of buses required to transport students. Transportation Manager Jack Upton explained that as a result of the audit's recommendations, the transportation budget has been cut by approximately four percent, forty taxis have been eliminated and the number of vehicles in r PRINTING A:;l" OFFICE CEKT PE 683.1968 Serving the Community for 25 Years!

October 16, 1991 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Economics • Not Constitution by Bob Watson The current constitution debate originated by the federal government and led by Joe Clark is fine but it is a discus- sion which should be shelved until we Canadians have an economic debate. Our government has controlled the interest rates and value of our Canadian dollar for some years now and at the same time seems too obsessed with giving our tax money away. This week the Prime Minister is off in Africa throw- ing more hard-earned Canadian dollars into countries that are corrupt, inefficient and wasteful of any money we give them. In our opinion federal expenditures abroad should be cur- tailed significantly. If our economy falls apart we won't be able to help Africans have a few pieces of food. It is ab- solutely essential that we get our house in order before we give away our money - all of which just piles up on our na- tional debt. We also believe that this Mulroney government has given assurance to the U.S.A. that our dollar will stay above 96e U.S. in order that our exports to the United States won't compete successfully with American products. The Progressive Conservative MPs at Ottawa should put a curtailment on their leader - in fact, if they want to even have a chance to be re-elected they would fire Brian Mulroney. now' On Park Programs Dear Editor: To the mart) Scarborough citizens who are concerned and participate in Scarborough's future and wellbeing we can rejoice in our partial victory. The next stage is the planning and protecting of park programs so that they may be en- joyed by many. A broad public participation and all your ideas as always is called for and welcomed by the Rouge Valley organization. Developers as usual are most critical, they magnify the negative aspects such as garbage and vandalism on public property. These developers are pushing for highnse towers around the penfer) of the Rouge Valley System. Their ac- tion would not only encroach and nibble at the pant proper- ty. but these towers would destrov the inviting park beauty necessary to a park setting that invites tourism. It is very true that unrestricted public access there will be more wear and tear including garbage and maybe van- dalism than we would see on a restricted private property but this world was made for many. The City of Scarborough should be commended for its devotion to garbage and the maintenance of order on our roads and our parks. For some individuals whose morals or impaired judgement compels them to litter and destroy we all have to suffer, this is no reason to close our public parks and our roads. We will not forget one form of discipline used quite effectively in our school days if someone misbehaved in class and would not own up to his her misbehaviour. the whole class would be kept after school and punished. In this way everyone would contribute either to punish the culprit or find a solution to the class problem, so it midst bewith public property and its care. If our tendency remains to blame the public we are just copping out, our officials just cannot do it all for us. Yours truly, Mike Bovchvn 35 Wandenng Trail. Scarborough. Ontario MiX 1K4 Buyer's Market The traditional fall housing market has yet to materialize in the Toronto area. "We had a very active spring and a typically slow summer." says Bernie Vogt. Senior Vice President for Royal LePage in Toronto. "Some observers were expecting home buying activity to pick up this fall, but that hasn't happened. "Consumers are still wary," says Vogt. "Because we aren't seeing any concrete evidence that the economy is starting to recover, consumer confidence is weak. With close to 30,000 homes listed for sale in the Toronto area, it's definitely a buyer's market. "In addition, with interest rates falling, many potential buyers are sitting on the sidelines, because they don't want to make a commitment before rates hit bottom." neI�r.'RirO ws Published every Wet!rtesday by Watson Publishing Company Limited, Est. 1950 Postal Address: Box 111, Arkicourt, Ont.

DAVID SOMERVILLE Fair Stand Needed on Strikes In the past weeks Canadians have been watching or reading about scenes of violent bitter, screaming Confrontations. We have seen molotov cocktails arcing in the sky; middle aged women seeking to earn a living have been harassed and abused on television; angry mobs have destroyed public buildings. These scenes didn't take place in Haiti or Albania. They took place on picket lines across Canada. What ever happened to the proud Dominion founded on the principle of peace. order and good government? The roots of the problem he in the growth and power of government; the monopoly which the federal government has reserved for itself in a number of essential services; the monopoly which the federal government has given to the Public Service Association of Canada and the Canadian prion of Postal Workers and finally the granting of fie right to strike to these two unions. The government of Prime Minister Brian Mulroney must take firm. fair action quickly to prevent a recurrence in the future. Here is a three point plant of action which will accomplish this goal. 1. The goverri ment should either outlaw strikes by federal employees or more preferably remove the government's monopoly on essential services such as grain handling, customs, immigration, the delivery of first class mail, etc. That could be achieved by contracting out services to the private sector on a competitive tender basis. 2. The federal government should uphold peace, order and good government by pledging to stop the recurrence of the shameful spectacle of violence and intimidation which occurred daily on PSAC picket Nrws. The freedom of Canadians to earn a living must be upheld_ 3. For the rest of 1991 the government should move to immediately reverse the pay raise and housing allowance increase which MPs voted for themselves. The government must lead by example. It is not. Striking government employees have aged with gross irrosponsibity, as have their unions. So. however, has the government Ws high time Mr. Mulroney fundamentally reformed the way his government works - or doesn't work - for the sake of taxpayers, consumers. travellem. business people, pensioners and all other Canadians who suffered dtmng thus latest public service' union strike.

They have also become cen- tral to a whole structure of criminal activity. Canadians owned about 16.7 million motor vehicles in 1989 and more than 100,000 of them were stolen, Statistics Canada figures show. There were some 319,000 incidents of theft from a vehicle -involving parts, accessories or con- tents. In most cases, individual owners are compensated by their insurance plan when vehicle theft or damage is involv- ed and the popular perception maybe that there are few big losers. But the.real economic cost involved with vehicles and crime is anything but small. The estimated average cost where the vehicle was stolen was $7,602. Where there was theft from a vehicle, estimated average cost was $966. Average damage to a stolen vehicle was $1,345. Combining motor vehicle theft, thefts from vehicles and vehicle vandalism, the estimate for total economic cost in 1987 was a hefty $700 million. In contrast, the loss in all the bank robberies in the coun- try amounts to about $3.3 million in a year, according to the Insurance Bureau of Canada. Police report four main reasons why vehicles are stolen: for resale or export: to be stripped for parts; for unauthorized joyriding; and to collect insurance fraudulently. Based on average figures from 1960 to 1969, one in four cars stolen disappears and is never recovered. This proportion of unrecovered stolen vehicles in Canada has been rising, from 19% in 1960 to 26% in 1969. By a wide margin. Quebec topped all provinces for vehi- cle theft in 1968, the latest year for which such comparisons are available. Quebec had 7.5 thefts for every 1,000 registra- tions. Manitoba (6.2), British Columbia (5.7) and Alberta (5.6) were close to the national average of 5.5. Below were Saskatchewan (4.8) , Ontario (4.7). New Brunswick (3.0). :Nova Scotia (2.8 ), Prince Edward Island ( 2.6) and New- foundland 11.7). The 1969 figures demonstrate that motor vehicle theft is a crime generally involving young persons. Among those ac- cused of vehicle theft, 80% were age 12 to 25. The biggest single segment was the 18 to 25 age bracket, with 44% of all accused. An international comparison shows that among 14 western industrialized countries in 1989, Canada ranked No.I in vehicle vandalism with I I % of all owners becoming victims. In contrast, the United States was in sixth spot with a vandalism rate of 9.3%. Canada was third at 8.1% in thefts from vehicles, behind Spain 114.6%) and the U.S. 19.7%). But we were also way back in 10th place for vehicle theft at less than 1%. France held top spot for vehicle theft with 2.8%. the U.S. w•as fifth Here and There Communities Fight Child Abuse A record number of Canadian communities has joined in the fight against child abuse as mayors, city councils and regional councils across the country proclaim October as Child Abuse Prevention Month and a host of community groups coordinates awareness -building events and ac- tivities. Child Abuse Prevention Month - spearheaded by the ]OF Foresters in 1969 - began as a ten -city program and has grown to include more than 60 towns, cities and regions in Canada, all of whom are using the month of October as a focal point for educating the community about prevention. Energy Summary Electricity consumption in February was about 11.6 million megawatt -hours, down almost six percent from February 1990. The 20 minute peak in February, 1991 was 22,237 megawatts, down about 75 megawatts from the same month last year. Total consumption in March, 1991 was just over 12 million megawatt -hours, down from 12.7 million megawatt -hours in 1990. The 20 minute peak last month was 20,860 megawatts, compared to 21,555 megawatts in 1990.

The ocess adopted by the board List October pro- vides the system with four levels of planning: re- affirmation of the MSSB mission by articulating our values of education; crea- tion of our vision - our men- tal picture of the MSSB we would like to create over the next five to ten years; development of strategies which are system -wide plans for achieving our vi- sion, and development of detailed local planning within the content of our mission, vision and overall strategies. The focus in 1991-92 will be on mission and vision. This fall, parents, staff, students, trustees and others will be invited to take part in workshops to talk about Catholicity and excellence in education. Input will go towards the reaffirmation or revision of the MSSB mission state- ment and the development of the MSSB vision from which will emerge strategies and action pians that the board, the Direc- tors' Council, superintendencies, schools, departments, parents' associations, parishes and community groups can follow to transform ideas into action.

October 16, 1991 Bill Watt's Worlds IN PRINT: Reading the writings of Julian Barnes is infinitely easier than reviewing them. Describing them is less difficult but there's a rub there. You see, describ- ing them is simply -simply?! -advising the reader what to expect. Fair enough, but there is virtually no way that a reviewer -this reviewer in any case -can do full justice to the off beat genius of Mr. Barnes and its effect upon the reader. Consider his latest book "A History of The World in 10-1!2 Chapters" (Vin- tage International) . In- teresting title nest ce pas?; a real grabber as it's called in the trade. But, it bears no significance at all to the contents, except an obtuse one. In baseball parlance it's called coming in from left field. A History et al is a collec- tion of pieces that. in the over all, depict, delineate and defficate upon the con- tinuing idiocy of mankind as seen through the eyes and intellect of a . . . no dammit!, we can't tell you without diminishing the book's total impact. Let it suffice that through the minimum sentience of the creature in question, one travels upon the ark with Noah, joins an expedi- tion to Mount Ararat, reads the transcript of an actual trial in which a wood worm is char2m with the death of a man of God, shares the misery of a sunken ship's survivors adrift in the ocean and much, much more. Throughout, one is transfixed by the fluidity of the author's writing style and the incisiveness of his observations of the human condition. Upon reading A History of The World in 10-12 Chapters one's reaction is trichotamous (New word!). Has the author really solved the riddle of humanity and its purpose or just added other con- siderations? Has he said nothing but said it elegant- ly? Around and About Your Dining &Entertainment Guide The answer, if it can be, must be found by each reader. As for us, we found ourself wondering how Saki (H. H. Herbert) would have regarded it. On the night the Blue Jays clinched the Division title we were listening to the game over the wireless with half an ear as we sorted out books on our review shelf. One of them was Nor- thern Tales -Traditional Stories of Eskimo and In- dian Peoples ( Pantheon ). It's one of those books with specialized appeal as should be evident from the sub title. As we leafed through it we came across a Cree short story in part four of the book wWch deals with animals. It's title? The Stubborness of Bluejays. Serendipitous, what?

It's quite a story. In 1957 Frank McEwen who was the newly ap- pointed director of the Na- tional Gallery of Zimbabwe (still called Rhodesia at the time) developed a workshop program for ar- tists. Uttle evidence of visual arts was abroad in the land and the workshop was intended to develop it. Initially, painting was encouraged but very quick- ly a talent for carving emerged, originally in wood and soapstone and finally in harder local stones. The contemporary art form of the Shona tribe, which comprises 8D% of Zimbabwe's population, is in sharp contrast with the List signs of the country's native sculpture dating back to the 16th century. Alan Jordan is now presenting the Stone Spirits Exhibit of Shona sculpture at the World Trade Centre in the Bostonian Room. The showing continues until Nov. 24th by appointment only. Call 369`1856. For those who might be unaware. our World Trade Centre (oxy-moron inten- tional) is at 10 Yonge Street. ART' Freek de Jonge, also known as The Dutch Fool, is making a return visit to Toronto after his Spring engagement at the premiere Dance Theatre. This time he will be ap- pearing at the Bayview Playhouse from Oct. 29th until Nov. loth under the auspices of Buck Tulip Productions. Freek is said to be Holland's premier come- dian. One is not sure if that means he is the first or the best. Certainly we cannot recall ever having heard of any Hollander 1 we refuse to use the incorrect word, Dutch) comedian. He will present The One, described as a fool's eye view of life in our time. Sight, admittedly un- seen, it seems to us rather like those excursions that used to be made to ridicule the inmates at Bedlam. Still, Freek de Jonge is quite popular and we look forward to at least a cau- tionary viewing. If only we could rid ourself of old memories of circus geeks. Dreadful! ARTIFICE: The Miss Canada pageant will soon be upon its again. Media luncheon is scheduled for Oct. 21st and the grand selection will be made over CTV on Oct. 26th. Your correspondent can't really add much to the coverage that the event receives and it goes without saying that we wish all the contestants well. We can't resist, however, using the title of the pageant to reflect upon the current state of affairs in our country. If they keep on in the present direction it seems to us that one day we will truly miss Canada. Think about it. SOCIAL NOTES: One often hears of people confused over the dif- ference between lunch, din - Rakugo In English The Japan Foundation with the Japan Airlines are presenting Rakugo in English by Katsura Shi- jaku on Oct. 31st and Nov. 2nd at 7 p.m. at the Prince Hotel, 900 York Mills Rd. Free tickets are available upon request from The Japan Founda- tion Toronto Office - (416) 362-870?. Rakugo may best be described as Japanese 'sit- down' stage comedy. The Rakugo artist kneels on a thin floor cushion and weaves a tale for 2D-30 minutes, all from memory. His only props are a hand- held fan and a handker- chief. The relative absence of action demands of the ar- tist exceptional skill in drawing the audience into his tales. The performer changes roles instantly, simply looking in a dif- ferent direction or by changing his expression or tone of voice. Watch closely and the tales will come to life for you. You Can't Take It With You After receiving a highly acclaimed New York pro- duction in 1906, "You Can't Take It With You", became an Academy Award winn- ing movie in 1938, directed by Frank Capra. Both the play and film have since become classics of each The Alumnae Theatre Company will present this play on the Mainstage from Oct. 24 - Nov. 9. The plot concerns Grand- father Vanderhof, and the Sycamore family, who all live together in amiable disorder. For 35 years grandfather Vanderhof has spent his time collecting stamps, hinting snakes, and avoiding his income tax payments. His son-in- law makes fireworks; various members of the family write plays, study ballet, play the xylophone and operate amateur prin- ting presses - The conflict and humour of the plot arises when daughter, Alice, becomes engaged to a Wall Street banker. The contrast bet- ween his austere, concrete world, and the rhyme)as existence of the Sycamores, provides the heartburn and humour of this ingratiating comedy. The Alumnae Theatre is at 70 Berkeley St. (at Adelaide). Performances are from Oct. 24th to Nov. 9th. Tickets at $10, students and seniors $8. For information call X4170. 35 Years Of Hungarian Cinema An extensive film retrospective highlighting four important periods of Hunganan cinema will be shown at the Art Gallery of Ontario from Sun.

Allow us, with our usual nuxlesty, to set the record straight on the proper names for all meals. The first meal of the day and usually partaken in the morning is the one in which one breaks one's overnight fast: breakfast. The next is lunch or lun- cheon with which one laun- ches into the more difficult endeavours of the day. It should be more substantial than breakfast but not so much so that one's ac- tivities are slowed. Dinner is when one dines. It is the most civilized of all the meals and should be ap- proached with delicacy and decorum. Supper is when one sups. It is late at night, usually after an evening of theatre. Our favourite supper is cold meat, usually lean roast beef or nicely sliced roast chicken, with a white wine. Andrd Kostelanetz and Lily Pons used to enjoy a thin stew; Alfred Lunt and Lynne Fontanne ended their evenings with a bowl of corn flakes and tea. The menu for a supper is highly individualistic but the one constant is that it's light. It is also the last meal of the day. An Aberdeen high tea is something unique and will be described in a future col- Contemporary Hungarian Art", and is part of Hungary Reborn, a ten - week cultural celebration of Hungarian arts in Toron- to. A symposium on the past, present and future of Hungarian feature and ex- perimental filmmaking will be held on Sat. Nov. 2nd. umn. HASTY NOTES: Just as we were prepar- ing to punt this column to bed we received these two items of interest. From Applause Com- munications was a invita- tion, in a most attractive gift bag, to attend a media preview today of the 86th Annual Santa Claus Parade. We'll advise fur- ther in subsequent columns but must mention that this year the parade will feature 23 spectacular animated floats. Hard times anyone? And, from John Wimbs of Live Entertainment Corp there was ballet news. The Stars of the Bolshoi Ballet will appear for two perfor- mances only at the Pan- tages on Oct. 20th.

It helps to simplify the mysteries of all that is involved in dental tare. Covering all aspects of healthy nutrition, dental hygiene and the correct and effective use of toothcare paraphenalia, Dr. Sterling has written an the dental macrocosm. A well formulated glossary makes for an easy reference to any bei connected with e th and pregnancy, thumb - sucking in babies, teething, loss of teeth, dentures, im- plants, illness that may af- fect gums and teeth, cosmetic and restorative dentistry. Financial aspects are provided; for example the costs for orthodontic, root canal and periodontal treatments. The question of insurance is also covered. Humorously illustrated, this Practical Guide to Healthy Teeth is worth reading and buying for easy reference. Victor Sterling D.D.S. is a graduate of the Universi- ty of Toronto.

It's a new venture for one of Canada's finest swim- mers. Tanner, who was award- ed the Lou Match Trophy in 1966 as Canada's Greatest Athlete, brought her coun- try three Olympic medals in swimming. She set five world swimming records and still holds the record for the most medals won in the Commonwealth Games. The 1927 Yankees, nicknamed Murderers' Row for their deadly pro- wess, are considered the greatest baseball team of all time.

The rival Pittsburgh Pirates had their own legend in Pie Traynor, another superb hitter and one of the greatest third basemen in baseball history. Tanner's new venture, Elaine Tanner's Gallery of Sports History, is keeping the legend alive with a limited -edition collection of 1927 'World Series memorabilia. The numbered collection includes starting line-up autographs from the Yankees and the Pirates, team photographs, com- memorative plaques of Game 2 ( Oct. 6, 1927), museum -quality framing with decorative plaques, and a Series logo. A Yankees playing sweater is the backdrop to the display. The collection was assembled by a New York sports writer who went into the dugouts of both teams and got the autobraphs. The signatures and photos remained in his collection until his death in the late 1960s. when they were auc- tioned off in an estate sale. Years later. the collection was obtained by John Watt of Toronto. The collection is unique and can be considered priceless. Watt says. The authenticity of the collec- tion was verified by the American Museum of Historical Documents as the only starting line-up autographs of both teams in the world. Most of the players in the 1927 series now have a place in baseball's Hall of Fame. Tanner and Watt are of- fering only 750 reproduc- tions of this museum piece to collectors in the United States and Canada. Sports bars from the U.S. and Labati's Breweries of Canada, ag well as other corporations and sports celebrities, have already reacted favourably Re-elect Wed.

Page io THE NEWS IPOST Wed. October 16, 1991 Business Community News0- Shopsy's Foods Receives Top Award Shopsy's Foods, a business name synonymous with Metropolitan Toronto and quality foods and the "Deli" has received the Business Excellence Award from the City of North York. The award, which was need to Max Dingle, resident of Shopsy's Foods by His Worship Me] Lastman, was recently established by the city's Property and Economic Development Department "to honour and give credence to those businesses which con- tribute to the quality of life in North York." While the Shopsy's Deli is a food institution, the history of the company is more about an immigrant family who opened a small restaurant, served superior ethnic food to the local community and treated employees like family. Harry Shopsowitz and his wife, Jenny, emigrated to Canada in 1919 from their native Poland where they had been innkeepers. After settling in Toronto, they established a small Delicatessen at 295 Spadina Ave. to serve the local com- munity. The Delicatessen became well known for its freshly prepared beef frankfurters, salami, corn- ed beef and pastrami - items which had all been developed from family heritage recipes. In the early 1950's, after more than 30 years in the :restaurant business. Harry Shopsowitz and his sons decided to sell their meat products to retail grocery stores in Ontario. Initially, the kitchen facilities at 295 Spadina Ave. were expand- ed to meet the increased demand, however, it became evident after a couple of years that the retail production required larger processing facilities. Eventually the Deli moved from Spadina to its current location at Front and Yonge. In 1956, to meet the rising demand for "Shopsy" pro- ducts, the Shopsowitz fami- ly built a large meat pro- cessing plant at its present location, 150 Bartor Road in North York. In 1972, Unilever Canada Limited acquired Shopsy's Foods Limited which in- cluded the processing plant in North York and the original Delicatessen on Spadina Ave. Today, the Shopsy's North York processing plant and distribution cen- tre along with the Yonge Street "Deli" employ over 500 employees. many of whom are very senior in service. dating from the Shopsowitz family era. These employees, in par - CITY OF SCAR BOROUG H ELECTION 991 NOVEMBER 12TH Notice To Persons Omitted From Polling List A person whose name is omitted from the polling list may make application to the clerk for a certificate which will allow him/her to vote, if the person: a) is a resident in the City of Scarborough during the qualification period of September 3rd to October 11, 1991 Or is a non-resident owner or tenant of land in the City of Scarborough or the spouse of such owner or tenant during the qualification period of September 3rd to October 11th. 1991. b) is a Canadian Citizen. c) has attained the age of eighteen years or on or before polling day will attain the age of eighteen years.

Theatre On The Move At Black Creek Village "'And Freedom For All' is about the founding of one of the most famous black corgmunities in Ontario," says "Theatre On The Move's" Artistic Director, Anne Eines. She is referr- ing to a community called Buxton, Ontario, near present-day Chatham. "And Freedom For All" comes to Black Creek Pioneer Village for a limited engagement in Oc- tober. It is a compelling dramatic account of the blood, sweat and tears of William King, a schoolmaster from Glasgow, who smuggles slaves into Canada to pro- vide them with their freedom. As Eines says, "We tend to think multiculturalism is a recent phenomenon. This is a misconception. There has been a well established black community in On- tario for more than a cen- tury. „ The play was written by Ed Schroeter and Anne Eines and was inspired by Theatre On The Move's work in the schools. It is based on historical fact. .Actor Philip Cook plays the part of William King; An- 'thony Audain portrays the slave Talbert; and Chris Kitowski Flays a plantation owner, Phares. Performances take place in the Visitors' Centre theatre for three con- secutive weekends, beginn- ing Thanksgiving Weekend, Oct. 12-14, and ending the weekend of Oct. 26-27, at 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. There are also perfor- mances on weekdays dur- ing this period at 11:30 a.m. and 2:15 p.m.. except Oct. 15, Oct. 17, Oct. 18, Oct. 21 and Oct. 25.

Council Moves To Promote Gas Heating by Brenda Birinyi Councillor Kip Van Kempen successfully pass- ed a motion at Pickering Council last week that will encourage and promote alternate economical forms of heating and energy consumption in Pickering. The councillor was shocked when he recently discovered that several co- op housing developments in Pickering were built with electric heat instead of energy efficient natural gas. an interview with John Wiersma, Pickering Hydra's General Manager, he shared a similar con- cern that developers were taking this more, long term consumer expensive route. In this cast, the developer was Durham Non -Profit Housing. The most recent developments: Finch and Whites Rd.. Finch and Valley Farm Rd. and the last one is located on Kingston Rd. The reason why electric heat was used Mr. Wiersma explains, has to do with building the units within the maximum unit price. Unfortunately the most important issue for the developer is to build each unit as cheaply as possible. Installing electric heat is quite inexpensive for the developer, com- pared to the installation of natural gas. When the job is done, the developer leaves - leaving the resident with the high electric bills as a result of heating their Mme by this means. This concern was duplicated through various ministry levels and resulted in a lobby against the Ministry of Housing, to put a ban on developers continuing this practice of installing expensive elec- tric heat in co-op homes built by the Ministry of Housing. John Wiersma added that, "Pickering Hydro does not have the authority to tell their customers, to use the more long term economical natural gas in- stead of electric heat." However, the lobbying efforts of the Municipal Electric Association, the Ministry of Energy and On- tario and Pickering Hydro resulted in recent govern- ment legislation putting a ban on the Ministry of Housing installing electric heat in any more of their developments. Residents that are in the unfortunate position of pay- ing these electric bills that are on the average, three times higher than homes rot heated with electricity, are looking at a cast of $4,000 to convert to natural gas - An on-going dilemma still exists amongst the commercial and industrial sectors; the priority re- mains, build for the cheapest trice. Apparently envirorunental efficiency is not a priority with the com- mercial and industrial developers. The only way this might change, if incentives are of- fered through Hydro that would encourage develop- ment with energy efficient services that would provide king term benefits for the environment. This type of thinking and innovation, benefits us all.

It is also about governments working together to strengthen your local economy and provide a good standard of living for all Canadians; a Senate and House of Commons that are more responsive to the people; less government waste and duplication; making decisions closer to the peo- ple and building a country in which all Canadians feel respected and at home. You have the opportunity to become part of this Constitu- tional process. I have invited nine constituents to join me in what we are calling "The Peoples' Forum For Constitu- tional Dialogue". Through a series of public meetings to be held over the next two months, we will encourage you to review the government's current proposals, digest its in- tent, consider its merits and its flaws. What good will this do? Through our discussions with you, we will put together a report which reflects your views. This report will then be presented to the Joint Committee on the Constitution. In short, you will be able to have your views heard and have an opportunity to shape our Constitu- tion. As I outlined in last week's column, nation building did not end with Confederation. This country is the second largest on earth and according to the United Nations. one of the two best countries in which to live. The challenge for us now is to make it second to none. You have a chance to make this happen. If you would like a copy of "Shaping Canadians' Future Together", they are available through my constituency of- fice by calling 686-0432. I encourage your to become familiar with these proposals. Canadianism Is First Multiculturalism Is Second Blood Donors Give The Best Gift: Themselves! Please... Give Blood! The Canadian Red Cross Society Psychic Fair returns to Oshawa The 5th International Oshawa Psychic Fair is returning to the Kinsmen Club, with an even greater variety of exhibits and presentations. "The response to the last psychic fair was incredi- ble." says organizer Paul Fulcher. "We've had to expand the number of exhibitors because we were so busy... in fact, out of the 12 shows we do right across the province, Oshawa is one of the most popular shows." Can psychics really give answers and see things that other people can't? Fulcher responds "We have top psychics in the show, many of whom have had years of experience and training to develop their abilities. We offer lectures and demonstrations throughout the weekend, free with admission. People can observe the psychic abilities of our readers for themselves and, if they want to, they have the opportunity to develop their own." Lectures and demonstrations will feature such topics as: Developing your E.S.P. ; Astrology; Psychic Demos and Past ,U ees. Numerous demonstra- tions invite audience participation. The fair also features an exciting array of crystals, books, tapes and related products. You will find the psychic fair at the Kinsmen Club, 109 Colborne St.W., Oshawa. The fair runs October 18, 19, 20: Friday noon to 10:00 p.m., Saturday 11:00 am. to 10:00 p.m. and Sunday I1:00.am. to 8:00 pm. iir
