Additions Made to IM12
Capital Expenditure
Forecast
The 1992 Capital Expen-
diture Multi Year Forecast
will include the new un-
named Anderson elemen-
tary school which would be
constructed on part of the
site of Anderson C.V.I.,
Whitby. The school would
provide 441 new pupil
places and would replace
on the forecast both the ad-
dition to Pringle Creek P.S.
and the addition to Leslie
McFarlane P.S. The Ap-
plecroft North P.S. and the
addition to Westney
Heights P.S. will be placed
in the first year of the
forecast.
Policy Approved for Cir-
culation
The board's revised
policy on Community Use
of Schools was approved by
trustees for circulation on
the Consultative Process
for input from various
groups. The revisions pro-
vide for no free use of
board facilities by groups
unless a reciprocal agree-
ment can be reached.
Special fees for groups
generating large amounts
of garbage also will be
charged in order for the
board to cover the increas-
ing costs of disposal. All
groups will be required to
cover the board's costs for
heating and lighting if the
buildings are kept open for
use outside school hours.
Board Approves Modified
School Year Criteria
Trustees approved
various criteria to be con -
sidered in identifying two
schools for the modified
school year pilot project.
tie% schools under con-
struction, schools with a
large walking population,
schools which have a high
indigenous population,
schools with portable
classrooms on site, larger
schools, schools with few
special needs students,
schools with both urban
and rural communities,
schools with a greater
percentage of students
over the Ministry of Educa-
tion rated capacity, schools
with boundary expansion
capability and schools that
have not received Ministry
of Education approval for
additions are the most like-
ly to benefit from the im-
plementation of a modified
school year calendar. Staff
will specifically be looking
for schools where a real in-
terest in becoming part of
the pilot project has been
indicated.
Sketch Plans Approved
Sketch plans for the new
Whitby secondary school,
child care facility and new
Education Centre were ap-
proved by trustees. The
combined facility will be
constructed on the 24 acre
site on the north side of
Taunton Road, Oshawa,
where the Sinclair Office is
now situated. Jim Moffatt
and Bill Duncan of Moffatt
and Duncan Architects
were present to outline the
process they used to
receive input on the new
facilities.
Over the past year, the
Education Centre Design
Committee has met weekly
to hear presentations from
various groups and to con-
sider elements of the
design of the structures.
The resulting sketch pians
are for a 4 -storey Educa-
tion Centre, a 3 12 storey
secondary school and a link
building which would house
common facilities such as
shipping and receiving,
duplicating and food
preparation and service.
The conceptual model of
the new Education Centre
and secondary school was
on display until Wed. Oct -
2nd, in the boardroom at
555 Rossland Road West,
Oshawa.
Voluntary Payroll Deduca-
tion Plan to be Im-
plemented
In accordance with the
motion passed last June by
the board. four emloyee
groups requested that the
Durham Board of Educa-
tion implement, a volun-
tary payroll deduction plan
for contributions, to the
Oshawa General Hospital
Expansion Fund. The mo-
tion was approved and the
plan will be put into effect
immediately.

Most Durham area
businesses have frequent
needs for fast, up-to-date
information, according to a
survey undertaken by the
Pickering Public Library

almost 700 businesses in
the area to find out more
about their requirements
for information, business
books and videos, other
services such as workshops
and meeting rooms.

School Trustees Question
Need For More Boards
"More school boards for Ontario will increase duplication
of services and increase education costs for all taxpayers,"
said Paula Dunning, President of the Ontario Public School
Boards' Association.
Paula Dunning was responding to a report released
recently by the province's French -language Education
Governance Advisory Group which recommended the crea-
tion of a minimum of 12 new regional public and Catholic
French -language school boards and the possibility of more
boards if local communities qualify and desire them.
"There is already considerable duplication of ad-
ministrative costs among public, Catholic and French -
language school boards sharing the same jurisdiction and
the creation of new boards will only increase the duplica-
tion and the tax bill," said Paula Dunning.
The advisory groups' report also recommends that quali-
fying French -language sections, now attached to public and
Catholic school boards, be allowed to create French -
language area or local school boards. These would be in ad-
dition to 12 new regional French -language school boards.
In 1990, there were just over 97,000 students enrolled in
French, as a language of instruction, classes in Ontario,
representing approximately five percent of Ontario's total
school enrolment.
"It is critical for the province to meet the educational
needs of French-speaking students. However, i question the
advisory group's solution that we need more school boards
to accomplish this." said Paula Dunning.
The association has made a proposal which calls on the
Minister of Education to enact permissive legislation that
would allow public and Catholic school boards sharing the
same jurisdication to amalgamate, if both boards, and their
communities agreed.
The purpose of the association's proposal is to reduce the
duplication of services and effort between coterminous
public and separate school boards. However, Paula Dunn-
ing said the proposal received a "cool reception" from the
Mimster of Education.
-I am rather surprised that in this climate of fiscal
restraint, the Ministry of Education would choose not only
to ignore such a timely and creative reeornrnendation, but
consider creating more school boards,., she said.
"All government signals point to a very tough time for
local governments that depend on provincial grant support.
If provincial spending on education is to be cut in 1992, then
Queen's Park must put a lid on new initiatives." she said.
Government Yields To MEA
Demands On Bill 118
The provincial government has backed down on its con-
troversial changes to the Power Corporation Act in
response to pressure from municipal electric utilities and
their allies across Ontario, the Municipal Electric Associa-
tion 1 M.E.A. 1 said recentiv.
-We are delighted that the Government has reah2rd that
Bill 118 was unacceptable legislation that could not go for-
ward without major changes." M.E.A. Chairman '.Mary
LeClair said. "This demoristrates that municipal electric
utilities are effectively protecting the interests of electrici-
ty customers across Ontario."
Less than a month after the M.E.A. launched its public
campaign against Bill 118, the Government announced it
will introduce amendments to the legislation that support
the M.E.A.'s position.
Specifically the Government has promised to change the
parts of Bill 118 that allowed the Government to issue bin-
ding policy directives to Ontario Hydro that can change
Hvdro's mandate by decree.
"We argued that Bill 118 was flawed, undemocratic
legislation that would allow any Government to force On-
tario Hydro to do anything the Government said, and then
electricity ectricity customers pay for it, through a "hidden"
tax grab," Mr. LeClair explained. "Today's changes mean
policy directives can be issued, but they cannot force Hydro
to do things outside its mandate - the supply of safe, reliable
electricity."
The Government also has promised to make sure
municipal electric utilities are involved in developing
criteria for any Ontario Hydro financing of firel substitution

to proceed with these programs. today's commitment
means the M.E.A. and its member utilities can ensure the
programs make econornic sense and consider the impact on
utilities and their customers. Previously, the Government
had given no assurances that the programs would be
established with these issues in mind.
The amendments to Bill 118 are expected to be introduced
by the Government when the legislation is referred to com-
mittee hearings, at the conclusion of Second Reading
debate in the Legislature.
"Our campaign, to change Bill 118 was successful due to
the efforts of municipal electric utilities and their allies
across this province, which lobbied hard to make the public
aware of the dangrs of this legislation," Mr. LeClair added.
"We appreciate the Minister's response to our campaign,
and look forward to working with him and with the Govern-
ment in a new spirit of openness, consultation and co-
operation.

Pleas
For Unity
From IODE
Sat. Oct. 26th is Indepen-
dent Order of Daughters of
the Empire (IODE), Focus
on Canadian Unity Day.
This is a result of members
at the 91st annual meeting
agreeing first, that LODE
should "do" something to
help the cause of unity, and
second, that IODE should
give the public a special op-
portunity to voice its sup-
port.
On the designated day,
members in all provinces
and territories will join in
providing brightly
decorated display tables in
public places and invite
people to "Sign Up for a
United Canada". The col-
lected signatures will be
presented to the Govern-
ment of Canada by IODE's
National President, Jean
Throop.
Preserving Canada's
heritage has always been
an objective of IODE.
'"This is not a matter of
Politics," explained Jean
Throop, National Presi-
dent. "Rather, this is a non-
partisan opportunity for
our organization, which is
almost as old as Canada
itself, to express support
for Canada's continued ex-
istence as a unified
nation. "
LODE has informed the
Governor General, as well
as the Prime Minister,
leaders of the federal op-
position parties and provin-
cial premiers of Focus on
Canadian Unity Day. It is
expected that members of
parliament and the provin-
cial legislatures will lend
their support to the day.
Letter To The Editor
Softer Actual Sentences?
To The Editor:
On examining the newly tabled parole bill of Solicitor
General Dong Lewis we suspect that the bill will actually
mean softer rather than tougher actual sentences.
Setting this benchmark of at least one half before full
Parole. but only in certain of the specified most serious
crimes, and only when the sentencing judge so rules, would
inevitably mean parole boards would be more reluctant in
denying inmates full parole past this half -way mark for any
crime. Under present parole criteria many of these most
serious offenders and others are detailed well beyond one-
half, and in fact some serve their full sentences.
Under date of 27-11-1990 page 54:28 of the published
minutes of the Standing Committee on Justice respecting
evaluation of the Detention Provisions, Senator Hastings
presented the following statistic: Quote - "Out of so men
who were detained to warrant expiry date, 7% have com-
mitted a C-67 offence which is a better record than parolees
or mandatory supervision inmates." - End of quote.
Doesn't the above statistic tell us that society would be
better protected if all inmates served their full sentences?
Why don't we therefore replace parole with voluntary (6
month assistance programs of rehabilitation) for ap-
propriate inmates after they have served their full
sentences?

St.Jude's Church Is An Historic Site In Scarborough
by Patricia McCorry
"One of the most extraor-
dinarily beautiful sights in
all Toronto, is the little
white church of St. Jude's
that stands on a hill in Scar-
borough overlooking the ci-
ty," wrote Donald Jones in
his Toronto Star column,
Historical Toronto, in
March of 1980.
If you are part of the
teeming traffic driving nor-
thbound on Victoria Park
Ave. between Eglinton
Ave. and Lawrence, you
might just miss this sight,
tucked away as it is bet-
ween adjacent apartment
buildings.
For the more adven-
turous foot traveller, com-
ing upon the little chapel of
St. Jude's Wexford. sur-
rounded by the church
cemetery, is like finding an
oasis of green in a desert of
concrete and asphalt.
Proclaimed as an
historical site by the Scar-
borough Historical Society
in 1979, this little church is
the oldest original church
structure in Scarborough.
Begun in 1848 by local
farmers, it was opened in
February of 1849 but not
completed until August of
that year.
The structure is pur-
ported to be an exact scal-
ed miniature of an ancient
Gothic church in Scotland
as remembered by St.
Jude's first pastor, the
AAIA Conference About
Allergy And Asthma
A lack of awareness of
allergies and asthma could
put you or your loved ones
at risk - allergies and
asthma can kill!
That is one of the key
messages which will be
raised and examined at the
Allergy+Asthma Informa-
tion Association's (AAIA)
first Ontario Region public
and professional con-
ference, to be held on Sat.
Oct. 26th, 9 a.m. - 1 p.m. at
the Scarborough Civic Cen-
tre.
Despite increasing infor-
mation and improved
treatments, hospitalization
and deaths due to allergies
or asthma continue to rise.
Why? What can we do?
What must we do?
It is known that an
estimated 1 in 10 Canadians
suffers from allergies; an
estimated 1.2 million Cana-
dians (1 in 26) suffers from
asthma; 10 deaths per
week or nearly 600 per year
are due to asthma - an in-
crease of 54% between 1973
and 1984 and asthma is the
eighth leading cause of
death among women and
the sixth among men.
Patient education and
patient compliance is the
key to allergy control.
A special feature of the
AAIA Allergy & Asthma
Conferenge will be
workshops for children.
Each year approximately
13 million school hours are
lost by children due to
allergic diseases.
The three keynote
speakers will address a
wide range of allergy -
related topics, including
asthma and advances in
treatment, anaphylaxis,
food allergies, intolerances
and adverse reactions, en-
vironmental influences and
seasonal allergies.
Scheduled medical ex-
perts are: Dr. Karen
Binkley, Associate staff
member of Toronto's Sun-
nybrook Hospital (Depart-
ment of Clinical Im-
munology & Allergy) and
the Allergy Clinic at St.
Michael's Hospital; Dr.
Barry Zimmerman,
paediatric allergist, Direc-
tor of the Adverse Reaction
Clinic and Author of
"Canadian Handbook on
Allergies & Asthma"; and
Deena Mandell, Social
worker / counsellor
specializing in services to
patients and families with
chronic and dangerous
diseases, and the parent of
an allergic, asthmatic and
anaphylactic child.
Don't Forget
To Vote
Rev. William Darting. The
church was built entirely
on site except for its steeple
which was built in Toronto
and conveyed to the site by
a horse-drawn sleigh.
If you are fortunate
enough to be present when
the chapel is open, you will
be awestruck by the perfec-
tion of its tiny interior. The
hand-hewn timbers ( no two
alike ), the stained glass
windows which were in-
stalled in 1929 during the
chapel's first renovation
and remodelling, the carv-
ed pulpt, ornamental com-
munion rail and, especial-
ly, the small doorway
leading to the sacristy, will
totally delight you.
Time and pollution are
taking their toll, however,
and without immediate at-
tention the building will be

The TTC And Transportation
The Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) has a budget of 5260 Million in
the Metro Toronto Council budget making it the third largest
departments costs in Metro. However, the TTC service is vital to the
movement of people in the Metro region and it is considered the best
transit system in North America. Council has been encouraging the

Natural Study On Health & Aging
Four hundred and lift,
seniors from Toronto and
the surrounding area have
been selected to participate
in the first national study of
health and aging, along
with more than 10,000 other
Canadians aged 65 or over.
The study, one of the first
of its kind in the world, is
being coordinated in Toron-
to by Dr. Robin Eastwood,
Professor of Psychiatry,
University of Toronto.
Purpose of the study is to
determine how many older
people are healthy, how
many have physical
disabilities or memory pro-
blems, what factors are
associated with seniors'
health problems, the effect
of such problems on family
members and the types of
services older people and
their relatives need.
"We must have more
conclusive data on health
problems amongst senior
adults and the impact on
their families," says Dr.
Eastwood, "in order to
plan future health services
or the growing population
of seniors."
The seniors in the study
were randomly selected
from municipal enumera-
tion rolls, says local coor-
dinator Holly Nobbs. Par-
ticipants will be interview-
ed at home and some may
be asked to have a medical
assessment. For some, a
relative may be asked to
complete a medical and
family history. Caregivers
will be asked about pro-
viding care and the use and
availability of support ser-
vices. Institutions pro-
viding long term care for
the elderly will also be in-
cluded.

ship of Scarborough with

The study, entitled "The
Canadian Study of Health
and Aging", was developed
jointly by the University of
Ottawa and the Federal
Laboratory Centre for
Disease Control, with input
from experts across
Canada. The University of
Toronto is one of eighteen
centres in Canada par-

TRAVEL NOTES:
Absolutes are tricky and
sometimes dangerous but
please indulge us as we of-
fer the following best and
worsts compiled during a
recent all too brief R. & R.
motor trip to
Massachusetts.
The best autumn foliage
is to be seen in the Finger
Lakes region of New York
State and the Cape Ann
area of Massachusetts
where continuing vistas of
flame are a tonic to the
soul.
The drivers most con-
siderate to pedestrians are
to be found in Gloucester.
Mass. where cross walks
are common but unmark-
ed. The local drivers are
aware of them and seem
aware as well of the value
of tourism and always
honour the custom of
pedestrian first.
The drivers least con-
siderate to other drivers
are to be found in Boston
although those same
Gloucester drivers are a
close second. Tailgating is
almost universal as is
disregard for speed limits.
This is particularly notable
on the roads around
Gloucester. They are two
land and passing is quite
properly forbidden. So.
when one obeys the posted
speed limits and tries to
observe the gorgeous
scenery, a line of cars is
frequently formed behind,
the driver of each trying to
cut out and pass.
In Boston, it's not a ques-
tion obviously, of two lane
roadways but rather, just
rude drivers who honk im-
patiently as one tries to
read or even find direc-
tional road signs.
The worst roads we have
ever encountered are those
of Boston. Several times
when in the downtown area
we found ourself fearful
over possible damage to
our car's suspension
system. That's how bad
some of the roads are.
The worst road signs are
to be found in Gloucester
followed closely by those of
Boston. The problem with
the former is that there are
many multi -road intersec-
tions and the signs are
angled accordingly. Fair
enough one supposes but
when unfamiliar with an
area, it's difficult to
determine -with cars lined
up behind -just which way
the signs are pointing.
:Mind you. a missed road
sign frequently means a
charming drive down
another even more attrac-
Around and About
Your Dining & Entertainment Guide
uve road so all is not lost.
Another problem is the
abundance of foliage and
an apparent reluctance on
the part of the roads
maintenance workers to
cut it back. Sometimes
signs are not seen simply
because of colourful foliage
in the way. The problem
with the signs in and
around Boston is that they
are too cluttered: too much
information is put on too
few signs. They probably
work for those who live in
Boston and are familiar
with their city but they
most certainly are not
helpful for the tourist. We
subsequently found that
most people don't drive in-
to Boston unless they have
to. There is an excellent
train service.
The most pleasant radio
station to which we have
listened in over a decade is
WESX. AM 1930 in Salem.
It is a community station
with a nice folksy presenta-
tion rather mindful of the
way our own CFRB used to
be. As well, and like all

'National Stamp Collecting Month
"Treasures worth collec-
ting" is an appropriate
theme this year for na-
tional stamp collecting
month as Canada Post Cor-
poration launches a contest
that includes a genuine
Three Penny Beaver,
Canada's first postage
stamp as first prize. issued
in 1851, the Three Penny
Beaver is one of Canada's
most valuable stamps, with
an estimated worth of
$10,000.
The top prize also
features a trip for four to
the Calgary Stampede, in-
cluding airfare, hotel ac-
commodation for three
nights, tickets to Stampede
activities, and a hot-air
balloon ride.
"We're really excited
about this contest," said
Alain Doucet, Director of
Stamp .Marketing for
other American stations,
it's not saddled with the
ridiculous broadcasting
rules that prevail in
Canada and plays just
great popular music, most-
ly golden oldies.
Some of the tunes played
were ones we heard the
first time we ever visited
Gloucester in 1956. They
were great then and
thev're still great now.
WI SX is a fine station and
any time they can use a
former radio man like
yours truly, we'll be happy
to answer the call.
Our worst border ex-
perience was at the Thou-
sand Islands crossing. One
supposes that our Canadian
crossing guards or
whatever they're called,
have a legitimate
grievance and are entitled
to work to rule. But, why
hurt people from outside
the country?
As we waited with moun-
ting impatience in our line,
we noted many vehicles
with New York plates as
well as others from Con-
necticut. Maine and even
Virginia. Now. why should
these people have to be put
out by a grievance of Cana-
dians against their own
government? Couldn't
special gates be designated
for vehicles bearing other
than Canadian plates?
Perhaps that makes too
much sense.
How slow was the
passage across the border'.
Well, there is a duty free
shop there and a passenger
from the car in front of us
was able to get out of the
car, run to the shop, make
her purchase and still get
back into the car which had
moved about 50 feet.
We started this piece
with a declaration of ab-
solutes. Let us end with
another. Our week in New
York and Massachusetts
was one of the best we have
ever spent. Try it yourself
and don't be put off by bad
roads in Boston which
should eventually be
repaired nor by border
crossing guards whose
labour dispute will surely
be resolved .. someday.
MUSIC NOTES:
We've heard that per-
formers of Gilbert and
Sullivan have no problem
winning their audiences:
they are mostly composed
of people who love the
Music of Sullivan and the
clever (pre Porter and
Hart) lyrics of Gilbert
Canada Post Corporation.
"We hope it will encourage
many people, particularly
young people, to get involv-
ed in stamp collecting and
discover how entertaining
an education it can be."
National Stamp Month
began more than ten years
ago in cooperation with
postal administrations
around the world in order
to promote the hobby of
stamp collecting, widely
considered to be the
world's most popular hob-
by. Canada Post Corpora-
tion looks at Stamp Month
as a way to encourage
young people's interest in
the hobby of stamp -
collecting and philately.
Other prizes include a
wooden treasure chest fill-
ed with %W in mint Cana-
dian commemorative
stamps. a 1929 Bluenose
anyway.
A problem, however, is
that of competing with the
said audiences. Think
about it now, doesn't
everybody hum or sing
along at G. & S. perfor-
mances, more or less sotto
voce?
No problem this Sunday
afternoon, however. That's
when the Heart and Stroke
Foundation of Ontario
presents Take heart' The
Sequel, .a Gilbert and
Sullivan sing along at the
Royal Alexandra.
Among the many artists
to appear will be Barbara
Collier, Mark Dubois,
Tomas Goerz. Christina
James and Daniel Neff.
The audience joins in and
sings along with the
Amadeus Choir in selec-
tions from The Mikado and
The Gondoliers.
The host is Arnold Edin-

ton will conduct the

It will be a fun afternoon,

It's an awareness work
that interweaves historical

the challenge.

When asked why he
doesn't believe in
astrology, the logician
Raymond Smullyan
responds that he's a
Gemini and Gemini rrtver
believe in astrology. That's
from Chapter
3-Pseudoscience of In -
numeracy, Mathematical
Illiteracy and Its Conse-
quences by John Allen
Paulus (Vintage Books).
It's a charming if
sometimes baffling little
soft cover about
mathematics and how little
most of us really know
about it.
Here's just one example.
What are the chances that
you just inhaled a molecule
that Caesar exhaled in his
dying breath? The surpris-
ing answer is that, with
probability better than
99%. you just did inhale
such a molecule. Mr.
Paulos purports to prove
that amazing statement.
Well, perhaps he does but
we couldn't understand his
proof.
We suspect the book will
find its principal audience
among those who make or
would like to make their
living working with
f figures.
As for this humble scribe
we'll content ourself by
committing the following to
memory and astounding
friends with it at cocktail
parties. 1729 is the smallest
number expressible as the
sum of two cubes in two dif-
ferent ways. Yes'.
ON THE STUMP:
Municipal elections will
soon be upon us and we
make so bold as to report a
new wrinkle from, where
else? the City of York.
A campaign worker for
one of the candidates has
been seen knocking at the
doors of prospective
voters. When the door is not
answered he then hangs the
campaign sign of the can-
didate.
Cute eh? That's like
General Bullmoose saying
if they're not against me,
they must be for me.

The Exhibition Hall in
Place Bonaventure was
transformed into a Pari-

Finals Gala of the fourth
edition of the Dubonnet-
Design Contest. Canadian
designers were on stage to
demonstrate their
remarkable creative
talents and their designs
showed that their passion
for creativity is without
limit.
The national jury faced a
daunting task but did ar-
rive at the choice of four
winners from among the 24
designers who reached the
finals of the national Con-
test which Dubonnet Direc-

"The program will not both on lawns and i
only reduce our waste, it
will also contribute to
economic renewal in this
province by providing a
market for new green in-
dustries," Mr. Wilson said.
The new initiatives are
part of the government's
Green Workplace program
to promote reducing, reus-
ing and recycling at work.
This program was recently
expanded to include more
environmental purchasing
practices, energy and
water conservation and air
quality and hazardous
materials management.
The new funding will be
spread across several
ministries. Projects will in-
clude high-tech solutions to
target paper waste which
washrooms of government
buildings; and relampi
buildings with energy effi
cient equipment.
"Provincial waste reduc-

achieved 28 percent diver-

Community Sports Notes
Chess Club Celebrates Anniversary
The West Hill Chess Club
celebrated its eleventh an-
niversary on Thurs. Oc-
tober 17 and invited current
members, former
members, and interested
chessplayers to take in-
terest and get involved in
the Club's activities. The
club was founded on Oc-
tober 17, 1980 at Charlot-
tetown Junior Public
School. The club moved its
main base of operations to
Sir Oliver Mowat Col-
legiate in 1982 where it has
been located ever since.
"We are looking for peo-
ple who enjoy playing
chess. Period! What else
would a chess club do?"
said Brice Wesingi, the
club's Tournament Direc-
tor. "Yes, we are looking
for players who want to
play in organized tour-
naments rated by the Chess
Federation of Canada. But
we are also looking for
players who enjoy a casual
game and see the club as a
social outlet to meeting
new people. I don't see any
conflict between the two. I
think the W.H.C.C. can ap-
peal to both types of
ebessplayers."
The club meets on
Ttnusdays and Tuesdays
from 7 p. m. toll p.m. in the
staffroom of Sir Oliver
Mowat Collegiate, 5400
Lawrence Ave. East. The
club is an affiliate of the
Chess Federation of
Canada, the
A.W.H.P.A.W.O. Chess
Association, and the
Greater Toronto Chess
League.
The club charges an
adult $22 for a year's
membership but Juniors 17
years and under can join
for $11. Yes, the club is a
non-profit organization but
dues are necessary to pro-
vide for Mess equipment,
prizes for tournament win-
ners, plaques and trophies,
rating fees etc. For
residents of Agin-
court/Malvern, West Hill,
Pickering, Ajax, Whitby,
and Oshawa, this includes
membership in the inter-
regional A.W.H.P.A.W.O.
Chess Association.
Committed casual
chessplayers need only pay
the Club rate. Players
wishing to participate in
tournaments rated by the
Chess Federation of
Canada must also join the
CFC at $30/year for adults
and $17/year for juniors.
This includes a subscrip-
tion to Enpassant which
carries up-to-date ratings
on the national list.
Wesingi cautions those
who are not sure about
tournament play to try out
casual play first. For those
who think the membership
rates are too high, he urged
chessplayers to compare
the rates with other chess
clubs and other activities.
"If you are not sure
about playing 'tournament
chess', then don't jump in
right away! Many of our
most committed tourna-
ment players In the past
took this wait-and-see ap-
proach before taking the
plunge' That's fine with
me! My main concern is to
see chess players playing
chess, tournament or
casual!"
"If you think we're
charging a lot, compare
our rates with say joining a
tennis club for a year, or a
karate club for a year!
Those are acceptable,
organized activities and
that is the point! So is
chess! Our problem is that
a lot of people don't know
that! Let me stress though
that our executive is com-
posed of volunteers, in-
cluding myself ! "
The club held a member-
ship drive on October 17th
beginning at 7 p.m.

Rodeo
Roderick Couch of Red

Green Bank has earned a
trip for two to the Case
North American
Loader Backhoe Rodeo
Finals in Phoenix in
December by winning the
loader -backhoe rodeo held
recently at Case Power &
Equipment in Rexdale.
Couch demonstrated his
operating prowess by
posting the lowest overall
time in three events involv-
ing Case loader backhoes,
which are used in a wide
range of construction ap-
plications. The timed
events required precision
movements similar to
those necessary in typical
construction work.
Everet Wassink of
Wassink Excavating, Dun-

and will be an alternate to
the North American Finals
should the winner be
unable to attend.

Kenn Johnson Seeks Re-election
Kenn Johnson has
registered to run for re-
election as the School
Trustee for Scarborough's
Ward 10. His campaign will
emphasize how he has
fulfilled the promises he
made in the 19M municipal
election and how he intends
to continue to be an effec-
tive school trustee on
behalf of the residents in
his ward.
The Ward 10 Committee
to Reelect Kenn Johnson
feel that he is uniquely
qualified to be your school
trustee for another term.
He is a former school prin-
cipal in North York, and an
official in the Ministry of
Education at Queen's
Park. He has been an in-
novative educational
leader, author and lecturer
during his career in educa-
tion. He knows education
because he has helped to in-
troduce many of the new
programs that are current
in our schools, working ac-
tively with many school
boards across Ontario.
Kenn Johnson feels that
he qualified to be re-elected
because he kept the pro-
mises he made during the
last election. He promised
"dynamic, thoughtful
leadership" and this is
what he has done. He has
been Chairman of the
Special Education's Ad-
visory Committee, Co -
Chairman of the Ex-
cellence in Education Com-
mittee and is currently
Chairman of the Property
and Finance Committee.
He participated actively
in the development of the
board's new !Mission state-
ment and policy on "com-
munity involvement in the
schools". During the past
year he has served on 16
different board committees
and wrote numerous posi-
tion papers and briefs to
help clarify school issues.
Kenn Johnson promised
to be a "fiscal watchdog..
at the board. He opposed
the pooling of the business
and industrial tax with the
Separate Schools and held
a public meeting. He oppos-
ed all day kindergartens
because of the high cosi

and the government's shif-
ting of day care costs to the
school boards without of-
fering financial support.
Kenn has been a vigorous
defender of adequate fun-
ding for public schools. He
has proposed a new ap-
proach to school board
budgeting that is currently
under consideration.
At the board, Kenn has
advocated budgetary cuts
relative to inflation. The
1991 budget was held to
6.6%. He helped to man-
date a new Budget Com-
mittee for the board and is
a member of the commit-
tee where he supports
restraint and cost reduc-
tion where it is ap-
propriate. He feels that
Scarborough can be proud
that it has the lowest per
pupil cost in Metro Toron-
to.
Kenn promised to keep
voters informed about
education in Scarborough
so he organized a Trustee's
Advisory Council compos-
ed of 35 ratepayers which
has met consistently since
1988 every 6-8 weeks to
discuss school issues and
policy. Out of this commit-
tee has grown several
ward -wide public forums.
He supported the new
Board Newsletter to all
ratepayers and helps to
write it.
Kenn says he plans to
continue his aggressive
leadership on behalf of the
ratepayers of Ward 10 to
ensure that the children
receive the highest quality
education at the least possi-
ble cost.

Munch
Healed y. conditioned soil is essential to
successful gardening. Whether it's creating
a new lawn or garden or maintaining an
existing one. the recipe for success is as
simple as getting back to basics. In many
gardens, adding a mulch may be the only step
necessary to keep things in balance.
Composed of organic or inorganic
materials such as wood chips, bark. straw

Ideally. mulch should be loose and airy
when placed over the soil, rather than
compacted. Less compaction means
healthier roots and a more active exchange
of water and food beneath the soil. In the
event of heavy ram mulch also prevents die
leaching of plant nutrients. and reduces the
effects of soil erosion.

ultimate soil conditioners. Compost is made

Excellent use was made

"Tried and true holidays,
along with some new in-
novative trips and an ag-
gressive marketing
strategy," sums up Trent -

For its sixth year in a
row Trentway Tours is
back with the Quality Inn,

rangements, Trentway
Tours is offering transpor-
tation only on board their
luxury coach from $355 per
person, double occupancy.
"We have watched the
ITC operators top off their
charter flights with air only
prices, so we felt that
similarly there are clients
who are interested in
motorcoach transportation
only." said Mr. Devlin.
"There are still people who
don't wish to fly either for
medical reasons or for
those who prefer a leisure-
ly drive down to Florida
with excellent overnight
accommodation along the
way. "

again offering their com-
fortably paced 14 day

fall tours by motorcoach
are shopping and theatre

into the U.S. Recently,
clearing Canada Customs

coaches are processed
much quicker through a
separate lane.
Trentway Tours is offer-
ing shopping tours to Erie,
Pennsylvania: Franken-
muth, Michigan: Toledo,
Ohio and a Penn Dutch
Christmas in Penn-
sylvania.
"This past spring, two of
our most popular short
tours were concert tours
with Dolly Parton and Julio
Iglesias," said Marcelle
Rouse, Product Manager.
"So this season, we've add-
ed a pre -Christmas Roger
Whittaker concert tour and
a New Year's Eve celebra-
tion with the Jimmy
Dorsey Band.".
"With both the Persian
Gulf and the recession
becoming a part of history
and the ongoing repercus-
sions of the GST, we are
confident that this will be a
strong year for Trentway
Tours and travel to the
United States," concluded
Mr. Devlin.

The Canadian
Red Cross Society
with Rene Soetens, M.P.
Canadians have told the government that they want their
communities to be safer. The government has responded in
the form of the Corrections and Conditional Release Act.
1 welcome this new legislation, the primary objective of
which is the protection of Canadian society, and I view it as
a positive step towards the reformation of Canada's
penitentiary and parole system.
The Corrections and Conditional Release Act, which
replaces the existing Penitentiary Act and the Parole Act,
is the result of extensive public consultations following the
release of the discussion paper Directions for Reform in
1990.
The new legislation is the first major reform of the
penitentiary and parole system in Canada in decades. Key
proposals include restrictions on the parole eligibility for
the perpetrators of violent crimes and serious drug crimes.
In these cases eligibility for full parole can be delayed, at a
judge's discretion, to one-half of the sentence from the cur-
rent one-third.
The bill also adds sexual offenses against children and
serious drug offerees to the existing category of violent
crimes. For these crimes, criminals can be kept in a
penitentiary for their entire sentence if they are viewed as
likely to re -commit a similar offence.
This law also recognizes a role for the victims of crime. It
allows victims, at their request, to obtain information on
the penitentiary and parole status of offenders. It also gives
the victims more input into parole decisions and greater op-
portunities for participation at parole hearings.
In addition, the proposals will focus more resources on
violent criminals by streamlining the parole review process
for less serious, non-violent, first-time offenders. The shar-
ing of information on offenders among criminal justice
agencies will also be improved. The criminal justice
system will be made more accountable as a result of this
legislation, as courts will be compelled to provide the
reasons for imposing a sentence, as well as other relevant
information to prison and parole authorities.
As indicated by these reforms, the bill reflects the
government's determination to restore public confidence in
the corections system.
Try to imagine life without the benefits of science.
Chances are, you'll have a difficult time imagining a life
without fridges and bridges, calculators and credit cards,
Lawn mowers and canned drinks. Science has became a life
skill required by all Canadians and science. technology.
and engineering have a hand in virtually everythung we eat,
wear. watch and use.
On a larger scale. science and technology have become
determining factors in our nation's ability to compete in the
international marketplace. The health of the Canadian job
market and indeed, our quality of life itself, depend upon
the strength of our capabilities in these areas. In addition,
the well-being of our planet requires scientists, engineers.
and technicians to meet the challenge of finding new en-
vironmental solutions. The Government of Canada is com-
mitted to enhance our capabilities and develop our science
and technology skills through education and public
awareness in order to meet these long-term goals. Canada's
future prosperity depends upon it.
The inaugural National Science and Technology week,
held last October, was extremely effective in meeting its
objectives. It raised awareness for the essential role that
science, technology, and engineering play in not only
strengthening Canada's ability to compete internationally,
but also in improving the quality of life for all Canadians.
More than 600 activities were initiated nation-wide. The
resulting innovative and informative events explored
varied applications and accomplishments by leading Cana-
dian scientists and engineers.
Plans are well underway for an even more ambitious Na-
tional Science and Technology Week for 1991. Set for Oc-
tober 18-27, this year's objective is to get the whole country
thinking about science and technology, and to draw more of
Canada's brightest youth into studies and rewarding
careers in science, technology, and engineering -related
fields.
Canadians have excellent cause to take pride in our na-
tion's achievements. Highlighting the crucial role of
science, engineering, and technology during this week-long
event will encourage an even greater understanding of the
ways of the future and our nation's ability to achieve pro-
sperity in that future.
I urge you to become involved in National Science and
Technology Week 1991. Take some time to discover the
science and technology that plays a vital role in your daily
activities.
