Of Education Notes 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. Highlight Business Most Durham area businesses have frequent needs for fast, up-to-date information, according to a survey undertaken by the Pickering Public Library this spring. Staff surveyed 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. What do most businesses PRINTING _ - �►iatt..t� • rJFFICE CEAORE 683.1968 want in terms of informa- tion? Information on all levels of government and marketing topped the list but needs for small businesses information, software reviews and management techniques were sepcifically stated. Among the many library services useful to com- panies rideos on busines topics i rid workshops were rated as most relevant. Companies surveyed were also interested in receiving a brief newsletter from the library highlighting recent resources and information of interest to businesses. "The survey results em- phasize the importance of keeping up-to-date in a competitive and increas- ingly global economy," commented Gwen Pickering Public Library Board will recognize a Family of the Year with an award for extensive and enthusiastic use of library services. The board has named as the first recipient of its award the Cillo family of Bay Ridges, with members Michele and Barbara and children Antonietta, Cristina and Daniela. Together the family has read over 200 books during the last year. The children participate in most library programs at Bay Ridges. Antonietta and Cristina separately won the Central Library's bookmark corn - petition in 1990 and also contributed stories to the Bay Ridges branch's publication "Calling All Authors". In recognition of the family's enthusiastic use of library services, the Board Chair. together with the mayor, will host a lunch for the family, to be followed by a behind -the -scenes tour of Central library. Each family member will also receive mementoes of their award.

October 23, 1991 Opinion a page for expression for you and us 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 -1 news o s t Published every Wednesday by Watson Publishing Company Limited, Est. 1950 Postal Address: Box 111, ACIncourt, Ont.

WlWe the Government has said it is determined 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.

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?

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 Re-elect Wed.

October 23, 1991 THE NEWS/POST Page S 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.

October 23. 1991 Bill Watt's Worlds 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 RESEARCH FUN Attend A Special Fundraising Event for the benefit of the Leukem to Resea rch Fu nd. — The 1992 — Miss Canada Preliminary Hosted by Liz Grogan and Peter Fen iak Pre -telecast Competition Sat, Oct* 26, 8.00 -10.-00 pm CFTO-TV Studios Agincourt Starring Jason, Leukemia's Child of Hope i '.a Miss Canada 1991, ' Leslie McLaren i Forty-four Miss Canada Representatives Featuring Top Three Finalists from 1992 Talent Presentation Evening Gown Parade Photographer's Choice Winner Tickets: (416) 638-8522 Advance only: $18 adults; $12 seniors/students Includes Social Time to Meet the 1992 Miss Canada Representatives at the Radisson Hotel Toronto -Don Valley CarUow - [Wisson CFTOTN' 1J1 11 92 TORCH '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- borough and Kerry Strat- ton will conduct the Camarata Orchestra. It will be a fun afternoon, the cause is a worthy one and the cosi is modest.

IN PRINT: 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.

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?

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 !

October October 23, 1991 THE NEWS IMST Page 9 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 Adult Shinny Hockey This is your chance to play some friendly pick-up hockey.

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.

The bragged leaf shreds should then be spread in four to six-inch layers over soil. and under it nes and shrubs. The mulch acts as a protective cover for the sal and roots. When mixed into the soil. mulch introduces important nutrients that promote root growth. During dry spells. mulches help protect the soil from the evaporative effects of sun and wind. and keeps the soil from drying out and hardening. Q.

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. Compost Where mulch is primarily used as a top. dressing. compost is considered one of the ultimate soil conditioners. Compost is made from just about anything organic. such as vegetable and fruit rinds, hedge trinunings. sawdust. leaves, eggshells, etc. Avoid using fatty meat scraps and similar waste as it decomposes at a slower rate. crestas odor and the play is really a farce. A farce can be described as a loose construction of im- probable situations and unbelievable people over which the actors should scamper quickly while making as much noise as they can. The plot is set up in the first couple of pages and as with all good farce, Mur- phy's Law comes into play and just about everything that can go wrong does with mistaken identities and double meanings. The show is sexist, corny. silly and is insulting to the audience's inte igence. In other wads a lot of fun and laughter if you remember to check your mond at the door. As in any farce played well. team work is the essence. The cast at Herongate did not let us down. They knew what had to be done and each member played it to the hilt with crisp pacing and good acting ably supported by the director Ann Ward. Excellent use was made of a very workable set.

For clients who have made their own Florida ac- commodation ar- 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.

" Trentway Tours is once again offering their com- fortably paced 14 day Florida Circle tour, 23 day California tour and 10 day Orlando March Break. Some of the most popular fall tours by motorcoach are shopping and theatre tours just across the border into the U.S. Recently, clearing Canada Customs has caused long line-ups for motor vehicles at border crossings: however, motor - coaches are processed much quicker through a separate lane.

"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.

Blood Donors Give The Best Gift: Themselves! Please... Give Blood! 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. �/r/p _ AAWXZ%W MW ••: Freedom•of:•••: Fu" 'W Mw* Expression Is Call Sa W_ A Life Valuable 40 SLWmAnd"ana C" T#G Mwg Calf: 9674244 J{•:•....::':•: :1::...•.{•l:. ..
