Trust" to Sit on Property
Tax Reference Group
Oshawa Trustee Ruth
Lafarga will sit on the
newly -formed Property
Tax Reference Group
which will conduct the fust
major review of the On-
tario tax system in 25
years. The group will
assess whether or not the
current property tax
system is capable of
meeting the revenue re-
quirements associated with
local governments' and
school boards' program
delivery responsibilities
while imposing a fair tax
burden on property
owners. Their report,
which is expected by next
September, may suggest
changes to the property tax
system and or other fun-
ding sources for local
government and school
boards to improve fairness
in their revenue -raising re-
quirements.
Ontario Carter Scholar-
ships Reported
The board received a
report on the On-
tario Carter Scholarships
for the 1990-91 school year.
Four Durham board
students have been
nominated for Carter
Scholarships and more
than 500 Durham Board
students qualified last year
to be Ontario Scholars.
Trustees expressed pride
in the large number of
students from Durham who
have been honoured and
extended congratulations
to all the nominees and
recipients.
Technological Skills Com-
petition Results Announced
Trustees received a
report on the Durham
Board's involvement in
Technological Skills Com-
petitions conducted over
the past school year. The
Durham Skills Challenge
held last April highlighted
the abilities of 260
technological students in 23
skill areas.
Nineteen students
travelled to Hamilton in
May for the Ontario Skills
Competitions where gold
medals were taken by Bob-
bi Reid 1 Harwood S.S.I.
Scott Bennett ( Anderson
C. V.I. ) Scott Patterson
( Ajax H.S. I and Mike
Magee ( Harwood S.S. ).
These four students then
competed in the United
States Skill Olympics held
in June in Louisville, Ken-
tucky, where all placed
notably high in the stan-
dings and Bobbi Reid
secured a bronze medal in
the baking contest. The
report expressed thanks to
the board from
technological students and
staff for the ongoing sup-
port of skill events.
Trustee Entertained
Trustees were entertain-
ed by students from the
Elizabeth B. Phin P.S.
Junior Choir. The group,
conducted by teacher Wen-
dy Holmes and accom-
panied by music resource
teacher Anne Dunsmuir,
performed two selections,
including the popular Wind
Beneath My Wings. The
students were thanked by
trustees for their excellent
presentation.
Visitors Introduced
Superintendent of Educa-
tion; Human Resources
Chuck Powers introduced
three visitors from
Malaysia. The group will
visit Brock H.S. Donevan
C.I. Valley Farm P.S.,
Roland Michener P.S. and
Sir John A. Macdonald P.S.
to gather first-hand infor-
mation about Durham
Board of Education pro-
grams and services. Their
tour has been organized by
the University of Toronto
and the Ontario Institute
for Studies in Education.
Scarborough Board Re-
9oest Supped
The Durham Board of
Education will support the
Scarborough Board of
Education's request to the
Ministry of Education that
the Education Act be
amended to provide for the
application of conditions in
respect to pupil suspension.
If approved, conditions
such as receiving certain
types of counselling would
have to be met before a
suspended student would
be allowed to return to
class.
Trustee Conference Ex-
penses Approved
Expenses beyond those
covered by the normal con-
ference allowance will be
covered for trustees who
are official voting
delegates to a conference
or who are presenters at
board approved con-
ferences. Multiple official
voting delegates to any one
conference will share the

amount required to send a
single delegate. These
changes will not require an
increase to the trustees'
current conference
allowance.
C.0 -LF. Remuneration Set
Remuneration for
members of Le Comitt con-
sultatif de langue franise
will be set at $1010. per
year for the period Dec. 1,
1991 to Nov. 30, 1992. The
chairman of that commit-
tee will receive $1310. per
year. A conference
allowance of $3000. will be
made available annually
for C.C.L.F. members.
Trustees also approved the
appointment of Louise
Belanger -Kennedy to the
C.C.L.F., effective Oct. 15,
1991. Louise was introduc-
ed to the board and
welcomed as the fourth
member of the committee.
Committee Renamed
The board's Multicultural
and Race Relations Ad-
visory Committee will be
renamed the Ethnocultural
Advisory Committee as a
result of direction from the
Ministry of Education. It is
felt the new terminology
will cover a broader range
of cultural diversity and
religious backgrounds than
the current committee
name.

Nov.12 Is Important
by Bob Watson
Most citizens of the communities, which our six weekly
newspapers serve never go to vote for candidates in the
municipal elections. This is very unfortunate because it is
citizen participation in elections which carries out the main
part of democracy.
This coming municipal election on Tues. Nov. 12th is for
Metro Council and Regional Councils, local councils, public
school boards, separate school boards and French language
boards as well as local hydro commissions.
These are the representatives who will influence the ser-
vices which we all get - and most importantly how our
public taxes will be affected and go up, hold their own or go
down.
There is big pressure in our society to give more and
more public monies for things such as police service,
transportation and social services. The monies coming
from the provincial and federal governments have been
reduced over the years and local costs are more and more
placed on the property home owner and commercial and in-
dustrial buildings.
So we urge everyone to go and hear your candidates,
make a decision based on what you hear and read and then
vote'
On Nov. 12th your vote is very important - don't let the
small percentage of people in your community make the
judgemert - your vote is important'
Smoked Marijuana
Dear Editor
I smoked marijuana for seven years. At first it was fun.
but after a %'hilt the high changed. I became very quiet and
introverted when I smoked up. So I quit. For a while I only
drank occasionally.
Then I discovered crack. It seethed to be the logical next
step since all I had to do was inhale. It was expensive
(about S75 would last me an hour) but at the time I was
making good money as a part time waiter. so I didn't care.
The only bad part seemed to be the withrt —al. I would
crave the drug so badly that I would find myself on the floor
looking for pieces I might have dropped, kt.owing I hadn't
dropped any. I knew if I would wait 30 minutes the worst of
it would be over, but it got to the point where I couldn't wait.
I felt like crawling oil of my skin. So I would get more and
once that has gone I'd feel just as bad as I did the first time
I ran out. So 1'd btn• more. That was the trap.
Then I found Narconon. It's a drug and alcohol rehabilita-
tion program right here in Toronto. 1 now work as a coun-
cillor for Narconon and I can tell you this program works.
After 2 years and countless hundreds of dollars I know now
that I won't ever feel the need to use drugs the rest of my
life.
What I don't know is why this program is not receiving
any support from the Ontario government. We've been sen-
ding people to the united States while this program has
been here for over 19 years successfully treating all addic-
tions including heroin and crack.
So my quesiton is, why don't we spend our tax dollars
here in Canada on existing programs that work instead of
looking elsewhere for the answer to our rising drug pro-
blem.
This epidemic facing our country right now is real. Every
day we receive calls from people w•tro need help and it's on-
ly getting worse. The police have tried cutting back the sup-
ply and it doesn't seem to beworking. Whv don't we just ad-
mit our strategy isn't helping and put our money into stopp-
ing the demand. Through better education programs and
rehabilitation centres like Narconon we can turn this thing
around, but we have to act now- if we don't we're going to
end up like Washington and Detroit where children are gun-
ning each other down in the streets over this devastating
trade.
P.S. - Thank you Narconon for coming up with an alter-
native that actually saved my life.

Letter To The Editor
As the father of a six year old son, I shared in the an-
ticipation and anxiety millwns of parents felt when our
children returned to the classroom at the beginning of
September. And daily reports in the local newspapers about
increasing drug use in our schools and mounting violence in
the classroom only added to my existing concerns about the
quality of education our chikfren are receiving.
With these growing apprehensions. 1, as a parent.
legislator and former educator was dismayed when the
IVDP government decided that Ontario would not par-
ticipate in a national testing program. In my view, this
decision is wrong.
In opting -out of the testing program, the government is
being unfair to taxpayers. parents and students. Taxpayers
have a right to hold educators and administrators accoun-
table for the thirteen billion tax dollars used to educate our
young people. We have a right to know if we are getting
value for otr money.
Parents have a right to know if the school system is pro-
viding their children with a positive learning environment.
We want to ensure that our sons and daughters are gaining
the skills they will need to lead prosperous and rewarding
lives. Our children are the future of this province.
And our children have a right to excellence in their
schooling to ensure that their real needs are met and their
full potential is realized.
As a parent. I want my concerns addressed. As a tax-
payer, I deserve answers. Participation in the national
testing program would provide tis with some of these
answers.
But the .NDP government doesn't seem to want to know if
our schools are performing up to scratch. We deserve bet-
ter. I urge each and every one of you to write Bob Rae and
tell him that we want this decision reversed.

The project team not only completed the retubing in

The work went faster partly because of experience gain-

OMA Working To Shut Out Flu
The Ontario Medical
Association is working with
a variety of health -
professional groups and
elderly organizations to re-
mind people who are at
high risk of suffering
serious health problems as
a result of contracting the
flu to talk to their doctor
about getting a flu shot.
A comprehensive public
information campaign
featuring posters and pro-
claiming September as flu
prevention awareness
month was launched Sept.
10 at the Skydome just
prior to the Blue jays
baseball game.
"The influenza virus is
extremely contagious,"
says Majorie Keyner, a
director of the Ontario
Medical Association and a
physician specializing in
care of the elderly.
"Because the virus is so
contagious, and because it
changes every year, it is
important for people in
high-risk groups to get im-
munized annually."
Those who fall into the
high-risk category are peo-
ple over 65 years of age, in-
dividuals suffering heart
conditions, chronic -lung
conditions such as em-
physema, asthma or bron-
chitis, diseases such as
diabetes, cancer, anemia,
renal or sickle-cell disease.
i mmunodeficiency l sup-
pression, as well as
children on long-term ASA
treatment. CUrrently, only
30 percent of people in the
high-risk groups are being
immunized.
"Each year, 5,000 Cana-
dians die from influenza
and resulting complica-
tions, such as pneumonia
and kidney failure," said
Dr. Keymer. "Influenza -
related health complica-
tions account for 70,000
hospital admissions, and 1
million bed -days each
year, nation-wide."
She added that by
reaching the 70 percent of
high-risk individuals who
fail to get immunized each
year, "we can reduce
significantly the incidence
of serious illness, and the
number of deaths resulting
from the flu and its com-
plications. "
'Break Ground For Rehabitation Centre
A ground -breaking
ceremony will be held at
the Toronto Rehabilitation
Centre on Thurs. Oct. 31st
at 4 p.m., to mark the ex-
pansion of the Cardiac
Department.
Currently the depart-
ment has an ongoing
caseload of 1,200, compris-
ed largely of post -heart at-
tack and bypass surgery
patients. Referrals have in-
creased dramatically in re-
cent years and we have a
pressing need for more
treatment space.
To meet the demand,
Marina Lodge, a charitable
organization dedicated to
the support of the Cardiac
Department, has launched
a capital campaign to raise
the necessary funds. The
114inistry of Health has sup-
ported the protect by ap-
proving the necessary in-
crease in our operating
grant.
The 23.000 square foot ad-
dition to the existing
Marina Cardiac Wing will
include a 200 -metre walk-
ing jogging track, two
telemetry monitoring sta-
tions, patient education
seminar rooms, and addi-
tional parking spaces.
Officiating at the
ceremony will be Mayor
Mel Lastman; Joanne
Flint. North York Coun-
cillor; Bev Salmon, Metro
Toronto Councillor;
Margery Ward, M.P.P. for
Don Mills; Johnny Esaw,
Campaign Chairman; Gus
Amigo, President Marina
Lodge; Eric Hartley,
President, Toronto
Rehabilitation Centre: and
Leslie Rebanks, Architect.
The fund raising for this
project has been carried
out entirely by a committee
of volunteers consisting of
current and former pa-
tients. The projected goal
is $3.2 million, of which to
date $1.9 million has been
raised in donations and
pledges -

Bill Watt's Worlds
DINNER THEATRE:
Lyricist Alan Jay Lerner
and Frederick (Fritz)
Lowe are firmly entrench-
ed in the public's mind as
the Creators of My Fair
Lady; so much so that
many don't know that they
wrote many other
musicals.
One of their earliest and
arguably the first suc-
cessful one was Brigadoon
which premiered in 1947.
(The two heroes were
American G.I.s on
furlough.)
We've always had a soft
spot for Brigadoon. Our
Scottish ancestry responds
to it, of course, but also, it
was the first musical we
ever saw from out front.
Prior to that, musicals for
vs were viewed from the
wings while awaiting an en-
trance cue.
We even suffered
through the pallid motion
picture version with Gene
Kelly and the hopelessly
miscast Cyd Charisse.
Now it has arrived at The
Limelight Dinner Theatre
for which we also hold a
soft spot. We were in the
audience for the
limelight's First produc-
tion (Oklahoma! which
strongly influenced Briga-
doon) and it was there that
love bloomed again on
hither to then parched soil.
So, a musical well loved
in a theatre of equal affec-
tion. Is it a present day suc-
cess? We think so. Oh,
there are a few minor
shortfalls to be addressed
later but. in the main, this
production does full credit
to a musical now as well
loved as say, The Student
Prince was in its day.
There are, to refresh
memories that require
refreshing. eight major
roles. Let us look at those of
the ladies first.
Julain Molnar (a fine
Hungarian name) plays the
role of Fiona. the village
lass of Brigadoon in love
with and loved by the hand-
some young American who
has stumbled into her
village with his hunting
companion. She is enchan-
ting and everything that
one believes a Highland
lassie should be .. virginal
yet ardent, sweet but with
the strength of the soil. Oh
yes, she also sings like an
angel.
Denise Pidgeon returns
to the local boards after a
too long absence to take on
the role of thenympho
Meg. It's a robust role and
Miss Pidgeon gives it full
measure of comedic relief
without ever hinting at
salaciousness. A nicely
balanced performance.
Fiona McGillivray is
Bonnie Jean, the lass to be
married to the lucky
Charlie Dalrymple. Her's
is a face of almost Titian
purity cresting a body of
reed suppleness that bends
itself to the will of an ex-
cellent dancer.
Nice dancing and
dramatic performance.
too, from Eileen Farrell
the vulpine beauty in unre-
quited love with the dour
Harry Beaton. Her dance
over his lifeless body lack-
ed only a pibroch. Scots
will know what we mean.
Paul McQuillan is the
handsome young American
in love with Fiona and he
plays his role reasonably
well. Certainly he's a fire
singer but if his perfor-
mance tacks anything• it's
simply because he's too
handsome. He looks rather
like a thirties type Arnold
Schwarzenegger modelling
collars. Would that we all
should have such a han-
dicap.
Nigel Hainer is his comic
sidekick and gives a
strength to the role that
belies its fundamental se-
cond banana status.
Timothy J. Alex is the
quintessential Harry
Beaton tortured by love for
the woman he can't have
and unmindful of the love
offered by another. His
presence is deep and
brooding and that presence
alone could carry him
through the role but as a

bonus, he is also an ex-
cellent dancer.
Bruce Dow as Charles
has the best songs in the
show and sings them
beautifully in a high sweet
tenor of almost aching
nit
All of the cast sing and
dance well. Of particular
note is Scott Walker. We
always knew he was a fine
singer but had never realiz-
ed the power in his voice.
Good dancer too. Just
great, Scott! ( We've
waited a long time to write
that.)
Diane Nyland Proctor is
director and
choreographer and mar-
shals her cast well on the
relatively small Limelight
stage.
David Warrack is his
usual excellent self as
musical director. Pay par-
ticular attention to the New
York scene near the end of
the play when he plays
some deep down and dirty
piano. Yes, that's really the
elegant Mr. Warrack play-
ing.
Nowabout the shortfalls
mentioned earlier.
Brigadoon-remember its
age -is from the school of
musicals that were created
with some degree of spec-
tacle in mind and the coo-
fines of The Limelight
make it difficult to achieve.
Down on MacConnachy
Square. for example, is
presented in a manner
most enjoyable but, it
seemed to us, lacking a cer-
tain Je ne sais quoi. One
felt too that the ending
could have been beefed up
just a bit.
Still. that might have
been almost too much of a
good thing considering all
the delights that preceded
it.
You will enjoy Brigadoon
and we warrant the
limelight is going to be the
place to be on Haugh Ma

Lots Of Laughter At Howard Johnson's
by Frank Knight
Currently running at the
Champagne Dinner
Theatre is the comedy
"Murder at the Howard
Johnson's".
Located at 555 Cochrane
Drive in Markham - once
called the Hotel Strata - has
now been acquired by the
Howard Johnson chain - so
the play is appropriate at
this time.
The play is a light
hearted comedy bordering
on farce. Believe me,
there's lots of talk about
murder but nothing is ever
done.
The plot is the eternal
love triangle. A dissatisfied
wife. Arlene and her lover
theme of this Mozart year,
the company will feature
productions of Don Giovan-
ni, The Magic Flute, Cosi
Fan Tutte and The Mar-
riage of Figaro. The Cosi
Fan Tutte will be a North
American Premiere.
Here is a caveat for those
who might not be familiar
with the Salzburg
Marionette Theatre. Do not
think of it as just a clever
novelty presentation. The
productions are well in
keeping with the subject
matter. The Salzburg does
not toy with Mozart; it br-
ings his music to a glorious
new life.
And, we can't resist ad-
ding that there could hard-
ly be a better theatre in
which to view the company
than the Winter Garden. If
you have not as yet ex-
perienced the charm of it -
and shame on you if you
haven't -then this is a splen-
did opportunity to repair.
Grand holiday entertain-
ment.
Marionettes of quite
another theatrical ap-
proach open at the Cana-
dian Stage Company's
Berkeley Street Theatre
this Friday. Awful Manors
is a production of Ronnie
Burkett's Theatre of
Marionettes and bids fair
to be a helluvalotta fun.
Among the 22 characters
Dyed by more than 40
marionettes in this send up
Gothic are the following.
Eudora Bladder -Potts is a
strapping woman who lives
with delicate companion
and romance novelist
Beatrix Poppers. Guests in
their home include Melba
Dangereuse, Rev. Doctor
Onan Ramsbottom V.D.
(Very Divine), an interior
decorator named Nicky
Nacque and a mute French
Canadian virgin.
Say this about marionet-
tes; they're at their best
when giving wooden per-
formances.
OFFSTAGE:
Toronto now has a new
rainy weekend attraction.
Well, actually it needn't be
raining to be appreciated
but Ed's Theatre Museum
and Marketplace reminds
one muchly of everyone's
favourite attic; a magical
place to discover
treasures, both real and
imagined, on a rainy day.
The
museum i marketplace
(most of the objects can be
purchased) is filled with
antiques and theatrical
memorabilia, including old
sets and costumes col-
lected by Ed Mirvish over
plan to lure her husband to
a room at the local Howard
Johnson's where they plan
to kill him.
They have an elaborate
scheme but are so inept
that everything fails. As
the play progresses each
one - husband, lover and
wife become the intended
victim, and as the situation
changes the antics get fun-
nier and funnier as the plan
keeps failing.
It is a small cast but a
well written play and under
the capable hands of Teri
Hallatt it was a smooth fast
moving show.
The three actors Tery
McNichol as the lover,
Gary Downs as the hus-
the course of a half century
or so.
Space will not permit a
full listing of all that's on
display. Even if it did, little
purpose would be served.
Remember now. that most
of the items are for sale
and as they are removed,
others will be put in their
place. A visit to Ed's
Museum is most definitely
not a one shot deal. One can
return many times and find
something old and different
each time.
We were quite taken by a
collection of old packaging.
The H.H. Heinz Company,
for example, has been
around for probably a cen-
tury or more. Now, try to
picture any of their labels.
They all read H.J. Heinz.
None of them any longer
read. so far as we are
aware. H.J. Heins .. an
apostrophe with a S. Well,
Ed's has at least one with
the old appelation-
Amiong the collection of
old oil portraits, there is
one of a beautiful young
lady who looks remarkably
like our present Princess of
Wales. An ancestor
perhaps?
Those are just two
disparate examples of
what one can expect at
Ed's Museum. Oh, and the
costumes! We have cast an
eye on the splendid smok-
ing jacket worn by Avery
Saltzman in Damn
Yankees. Cast an eye!
Hell, we're almost
salivating!
The museum is open on
Saturdays and Sundays
from noon to 6 p.m. and is
entered through Old Ed's
Restaurant. Cost of admis-
sion is $2 and one need not
eat at the restaurant but we
think it'd be a splendid way
to end a day of inspira-
tional browsing.
ON SCREEN:
One has to hand it to the
management of struggling
Ontario Place. For
Cinesphrere it has secured
and is presently showing
the concert film Rolling
Stones "At The Max". For
those who like rock music
and particularly that of the
stores, this motion picture
is, we're told, a visual and
acoustic masterpiece.
It is shown twice a day
every day of the week with
extra shows on Saturdays
and Sundays. The run is
scheduled through Spring.
Speaking personally, we
don't like Mick Jagger and
his group for reasons that
are not for this column at
this time but must concede
that The Stores are hugely
band, and Cory Diamond
as the wife know how to
handle comedy and gave us
full value.
Ms. Diamond gave us
some lovely facial gestures
and timing in what is a
`Goldie Hawn' type of
character.
This dinner theatre is one
of the best kept secrets
around. It has a good show,
excellent food and comfor-
table surroundings located
in the 404 - Hwy. 7 region. It
is easy to get there.
Reservations can be
made for Wednesday to
Saturday dinner at 6:30
p.m. Show time is 8:30 p.m.

formation.
popular.
OntarioPlace is to be
congratulated for securnig
"At The Max".
IN CONCERT:
Just enough space now to
mention the first of the cur-
rent projected series of
Opera in Concert.
The rarely performed
Henry VIII by Camille
Saint-Saens will be
presented on Nov. 2nd and
3rd at the Jane Mallett
Theatre. The Saturday per-
formance is at 8 p.m. and
the Sunday one is a
matinee at 2 p.m.
There are different casts
for each performance and
wise opera lovers will at-
tend both.
The other operas
scheduled will be mention-
ed in future columns. Don't
criticize the concept of
operas in concert. Operas
are dreadfully expensive to
mount in full scale produc-
tions and many companies
simply can't afford to do
so. As it is now, most opera
companies throughout the
world receive some
measure of government
and other aid. As a result,
many fine operas cannot be
enjoyed by a public hungry
for them.
Presenting them in con-
cert is an excellent way for
bringing the music to the
people who care and at a
price that it is not exorbi-
tant.
Henry VIII is an ex-
cellent opera but we can at-
test that we have never
seen it nor do we expect
ever to have the pleasure.
But, we can enjoy it in con-
cert.
oo-cert. So can you.
SAD EXIT:
The A.P. Wire Service
report read that
singerlsongwriter Curt
Massey had died in Rancho
Mirage, California aged 81.
The memories flooded
back. How well we
remember his radio pro-
grams with " iltin' Martha
Tilton".
How much more so do we
remember our first demo
78. We hugely admired
Buddy Clark and tried to
emulate his singing style.
When playing back the
demo, however, the pro-
ducer asked "Why are ya
tryin' to imitate Curt
Massey? There's only one
of him.,.
He was so right .. but, we
still wish we had sounded
more like Buddy Clark.
Rest well, Buddy and
Curt. What a heavenly duet
you must be creating.

Executive Council.
Nominees of the greatest
merit will be honoured next

the Order: a stylized
trillium in white and green
enamel, edged in gold.

BEG41 SE 5-7pm is the hydro rush hour. That's %%
and factories are open, street lights are on, house lights ane. -_maces
are glowing and we're all using electricity.
BECAUSE supper time power is more expensive. North York 1 ivdro's
bill for the electricity we buy from Ontario Hydro is based on the
maximum demand each month. Lowering demand during the hydro
rush hour reduces our power costs.
BECAUSE we all save. Lower wholesale power costs mean better
rates for North York Hydro customers.
AND it's easy! On winter weekday evenings from 5-7pm,
--re's all you have to do:
✓ load the dishwasher but wait until after 7pm to
turn it on;
✓ turn on the I-V only when you're ready to
watch it;
✓ switch off the lights in empty rooms;

Centre
The Department of Film
& Video at York University
is commemorating the new
Centre for Film and
Theatre with two ground-
breaking endavota's. One
is the Donald Brittain Cen-
tre for the Study of
Docurnnentary, which is be-
ing established to promote
documentaries as an art
form and social document.
The collection of films,
tapes, and printed
materials will interest
historians and critics. And
as part of its mandate, the
documentary centre will
pian conferences and sym-
posia. Though interna-
tional in scope, it will place
special emphasis on Cana-
dian film and video.
The Centre for the Study
of Documentary owes its
launch to the late Canadian
filmmaker Donald Brit-
tain, whose documentaries
won acclaim world-wide. A
donation of copies of his
papers as well as copies of
all of his CBC and NFB
films, arranged by The
Friends of Donald Brittain,
is the cornerstone of this
Centre dedicated to the
genre he helped popularize.
The James A. Beveridge
Guest Lecture Series is
another innovation for the
Department of Film &
Video. It is established in
honour of documentary
filmmaker James A.
Beveridge who was the
founder and first chair of
York University's Depart-
ment of Film and in 1979
established its graduate
program. As a further
tribute, an annual bursary
is also being awarded in his
name.
The lecture series will in-
troduce the students in the
Department of Film &
Video to leading film-
makers, theorists and
screenwriters working in

Swim Club Starts Off Season
by Muriel Warden
Scarborough Swim Club
held its annual general
meeting Wed. Oct. 23rd at
Stephen Leacock Com-
munity Centre in Agin-
court. The Board of Direc-
tors for the 1991-92 season
was installed.
Returning for another
term were Lou Guerriero
(1990-91 president), Jeff
Jones (1990-91 vice presi-
dent), Horst Tietze (1990-91
treasurer), Brian Pun -
chard (1990-91
fundraising), Mike Walker
(meet director), Pat
Laborde and Lyn Twining
(directors-at4arge). Newly
elected to the board are
Julia Peck, Joyce Collins
and Art Magpayo.
This competitive year
the club has plans to send
Scarborough swimmers to
several meets around our
province and across the
country. A Christmas
training camp in Barbados
will be attended by qualify-
ing senior swimmers and
Canada's Olympic Trials to
be held in Montreal in May
1992 will be major goals for
the club's elite.
The racing season began
this month with the various
competitive levels visiting
three different venues. The
Top Age Group I TAG ► and
the Senior team joined
many of Southern Ontario's
finest swimmers at the
Etobicoke Olympium
where the Pepsi Swim Club
hosted an early season
sprint meet.
Alison Jones 1$ scored
highly for Scarborough
with a win in the loo metres
Backstroke, a second in the
100 Freestyle and a third in
the 50 Backstroke. Mitchell
Lau 13, won two silvers in
the 50 and loo Breastroke
events and a bronze medal
for his third place in 100
Freestyle. Liz Warden 13,
was third in her 50
Backstroke swum. Other
Scarborough finalists ( top
8 placings) were Amanda
Skopec 14, Nenad Minic 14,
and Nick Bilyk 18.
The young age -group
squads with coaches
Marilyn Devine and Cathy
Gerroir, travelled to
Kingston to an Invitational
Meet to compete with five
other eastern Ontario
teams. With six weeks of
new season training and
full of enthusiasm the
youngsters, aged nine to 13
years, were anxious to get
racing.
Highlights at this meet
were the meet record set-
ting 50 Backstroke swims
of Cori Walker and Melanie
Carnell as they finished
first and second respective-
ly. Their times qualified
the girls for Provincial
Championships later this
season.
Coach Marilyn was
equally pleased with
Breastroke Provincial
qualifiers Chris Keung and
Jennefer Brankovsky. The
10 and under girls Cori,
Melanie and Jennefer were
joined by Adrienne Milnes
to win their Medley Relay
race.
Meanwhile, closer to
home, in Pickering, the
novice tads from Scar-
borough's Age Group East
program enjoyed their first
races in a time trial with
the Pickering Swim Club.
Winning top points and first
place ribbons were Erin
Fleming 9, and Steven Mc-
Crea 7. Other ribbon win-
ners were Kristen Srnith 8,
Steven Ritchie 8, Amanda
Smith 9, Jenny Young 9,
Wendy Gerroir 9, Dru
Miller 10 and Corinna
Hicks 11.
Coming soon will be
Scarborough's annual
Spookiest meet to be held
Sat. Nov. 2nd at Laurier
Pool in Guildwood Village.
Many of the club's Swim-
mers will be racing in their
age -groups against the
teams from Newmarket,
Pickering, Newcastle,
Richmond Hill and Burl-
ington.
Spectators are weclome
as events start at 9 a.m.
and go throughout the day
until 5 p.m. There will be
an hour lunch break at
noon and refreshments
available in the cafeteria.
Mucignat Leads On
Open Chess Tournament
The 1991-1992 Chess
season is well underway
with the 1991-1992
A.W.H.P.A.W.O. Open
Chess Championship near-
ing the half -way point. A
5 -Round Double Swiss
System event (= 2 games
per round with a given op-
ponent) , 2 rounds ! = 4
games) of play have been
completed to date.
Class A player Ermanno
Mucignat ( West Hill).
tested at 1940 on the Chess
Federation of Canada's na-
tional rating list, leads the
standings with 3.5 out of a
possible 4 points.
Hot on the West Hill tour-
nament veteran's heels are
National Candidate Master
Uno H. Wesingi
(Pickering -2000 rating).
Class A player Brian A.
Smith ( Oshawa -1964
rating), and underrated
Class C player Ching -Fang
Chiu (Willowdale-1582
rating), all with 31 scores.
Following with 2.5 4
results to date are
Aleksander Kitenbergs
(West Hill -1796 Class B)
and Maurice Smith
(Scarborough -1729 Class
B) . 10 players in all have
enroled to play in this one
of foo interregional slow -
play chess championships
sponsored by the inter-
regional A.W.H.P.A.W.O.
Chess Association, which
strives to represent
chessplayers living in
Agincourt -Malvern, West
Hill, Pickering. Ajax. Whit-
by, and Oshawa (bene the
acronym A. W. H. P. A- W.O. )
Mucignat has par-
ticipated in all but one of
the Open Championships
which date back to the
19841985 season, winning
the 85/96 Open Champion-
ship. This tournament has
some significance for
Pickering's Uno Wesingi as
well. The dominant player
on the 1990-1991 inter-
regional circuit, Wesingi
wore the 90 91 Closed, In-
vitational, and Knockout
Championships but finish-
ed second in the 90.91 Open
tournament to fellow
Pickering resident and
Candidate Master Joachim
Hentschel who is not play-
ing in this season's event.
"Uno came close to whin-
ing it all in 1990-1991," said
Brian Smith who is the
association's tournament
coordinator. "I think that
fact will make Uno that
much more determined tc
try and dominate the field
again this season.
However, there are some
limiting factors in the
equation who will try and
stop an Uno sweep! "
Brian Smith is himsell
one of those limiting fac.
tors. Paired with the
Pickering veteran in
Round 2, Wesingi triumph-
ed in their first game, but
Smith persevered in their
second game to leave their
personal results against
one another in this event
1-1.
Another limiting factor is
Che current leader Erman -
no Mucignat who has mix-
ed it up with Wesingi in the
past, both winning and los-
ing tough games against
one another. In fact, the
pairings for the upcoming
Round 3 should prove to be
interesting and perhaps
decisive for a potential win-
ner: Wesingi will be taking
on Mucignat in a two -game
match in which each player
gets the White pieces in 1
game; similarly, Brian
Smith will attempt to fend
off Ching -Fang Chiu, while
Kitenbergs will mix it up
with Maruice Smith. Stay
tuned!

Ontario will support a bid
to become the home of the
world's first permanent

tional Space University,
Ontario's Minister of In-

announced.

Space and Terrestrial
Science (ISTS) , one of On-
tario's Centres of Ex-
cellence.

permanent campus. In-
stead, it has held summer
sessions at various univer-
sities around the world.
The successful 19% Sum-
mer Session was held at
York University in Toron-
to, and was hosted by ISTS.
"The awarding of the
ISU Permanent Campus
will present enormous op-
portunities for industrial
and economic spin-offs,"
said Ed Philip. "As On-

Chairman Tonks & Councillor Cavalier
Back Assessment Plan
Metro Chairman Alan
Tonks and Metro Coun-
cillor Scott Cavalier last
week hosted a media infor-
mation session on
Metropolitan Toronto's in-
terim assessment plan.
"There has been much
debate on this issue,"
Tonks said. "and with the
upcoming municipal elec-
tion, 1 feel it is important
that Metro residents
understand what Metro
Council has proposed in its
interim assessment plan.
"Metro Council con-
siders its assessment plan
as the fust step towards
municipal tax reform in
order to deal with the long
standing inequities within
the existing assessment
base many of which date
back to 1940 values.
"The credibility of the
property tax system con-
tinues to erode.
Assessments are out of
line. taxes are out of line
and taxpayers have lost
confidence in the assess-
ment system. In fact, bas-
ed on 1964 values, most tax-
payers are paying more
than their fair share."
While it is true that under
the Metro proposed plan,
primarily large commer-
cial properties in the City
of Toronto will be con-
tributing more towards the
cost of Metro and school
board services while other
properties in the City of
Toronto and the other five
area municipalities will be
contributing less by an
equal amount. This
redistribution corrects the
inequity that has existed
over many years.
According to the 1984
study. 62 percent of all tax-
payers across Metro would
experience a decrease. In
the commercial sector
alone. 55 percent of the pro-
perties would experience
decreases while 45 percent
would experience in-
creases.
The assessment plan will
address the large number
of commercial appeals in
the City of Toronto. In 1990,
approximately 75 percent
of the commercial assess-
ment base was under ap-
peal. It should be noted that
for each successful com-
mercial appeal, the burden
is shifted to residential tax-
payers -
To assist small
businesses an assessment
credit will be available. It
is estimated that 72 percent
of commercial properties
across Metro would be
eligible for the credit.
In summary, Metro's
plan would correct the ine-
quities built up over the
last 40 years, yet provide
protection to home owners,
tenants and small
businesses from any hard-
ships due to its implemen-
tation-

Safety Tips For Hallowe'en
If theme are no sidewalks,
walk facing traffic, far off
the roadway surface.
Curran also cautions that
The most frightening
part of Hallowe'en is the in-
creased potential for
automobile accidents in-
volving young pedestrians.
Though many costumes
are certain to resemble
Ninja Turtles, the Cana-
dian Automobile Associa-
tion offers some sugges-
tions that should not be
taken lightly.
CAA Toronto maintains
that the best advice for
drivers out on Halloween
night is to be aware of the
unexpected. Headlights
should be clean and turned
on at the first sign of dusk.
Drive defensively, limiting
speed on residential
streets, and use extra carr
tion when pulling in or out
of driveways.
Be on the lookout for
children darting out from
between parked cars. A
right turn on red is
especially dangerous. as
excited pirates, wizards,
and witches may run unex-
pectedly across the in-
tersection.
Pat Curran advises
parents of older siblings to
accompany younger
children on their trick -or -
treat round. "A parent can
keep track of homes
visited, guide the children
across the street, and make
certain they don't wander
from the immediate
neighbourhood," she
remarks.
"Because older children
usually prefer to travel
with friends, safety rules
should be discussed before
leaving home," Curran
said. Among the rules, she
recommends that children
should trick -or -treat in
familiar neighbourhoods
only, agreeing with parents
on the area visited and
designated route.
Pick well -lighted streets,
and stop only at those
homes where the outside
lights are on. Walk on the
sidewalk and not the street.

Rosenborg Palace: The "Crown jewel" of Denmark
Set in Copcnhavcn's mani-
cured Kongens Ha%e [the
King's Garden], the fairytale
palace of Rosenhorg is a splcn-
did example of a Renaissance
palace. complete with stair tur-
rets, towers and a playful ver-
sion of a moat. In centuries past,
the palace served as a summer
residence for kings, but today
The balls and rooms are oc-
cupied by Danish Royal treas-
ures much to the deliglit of ad-
mirers of roval memorabilia.
Rosenborpt Palace was built
in 1606 as the summerhouse for
ty
�t <
the %oung, ambitious Renais-
sanc•,e ruler King Christian IV.
who referred to the palace as his
"great house in the garden."
Following his reign. the palace
experienced many changes due
to the divergent decorating
tastes of the Danish monarchy.
By the early 170M)'s. Rosenborg
became too small for the splen-
dor -loving King Frederik IV,
who built other summer palaces
for himself. In later vcars, the
roval family resided here on
oniv two occasion. both emer-
gencies: after the Christianborg
fire in 1794, and during the
English attack on Copenhagen
in 1801. Thus in 1833. the
palace eventually became what
it is today: a museum of the
royal house.
A walk through the rich col-
lections of' Rosenhorg is like a
stroll through the history of the
Danish monarchy. Until Oc-
tober 20th. visitors can view the

accessories. spanning the period
between 1640 - 1961). Another

play the roval coronation car-
pets. Seldom used since their
arrival in Denmark over 300
years ago. this rare display of
coronation carpets is only on
exhibit once a year due to the
injurious effect of light. Other
treasured highlights not to be
missed include the world's three
largest silver lions set next to
the silver throne: the gold crown
of the absolute monarchy which
was worn by Danish kings for
170 years: Christian IV's royal
crown made in 1595: the Re-
galia scepter. the ancient svm-
hol of authority made for
Frederik lll's coronation in
1648 and used when anointing
the monarchs until 1840: Chris-
tian IV's blood-stained gar-
ments from the naval battle in
1644 where he lost his eye: the
crown jewels including an
emerald set and Baroque pearls
which are safeguarded here

fighting her way through
English enemy limes, Joan
of Arc brought Charles VII
for his coronation
ceremony in 1429, and here
that Napoleon I crowned
himself Emperor in 1800.
As an historical city,
Reims, which dates back to
58 B.C., was the city in
which the German sur-
render was signed in 1945 -
in General Eisenhower's
headquarters at the
technical college. Reims
suffered a lot during both
world wars but most
monuments were spared:
the Cathedral, Mars Gate
(200 A.D.) - the largest
arch in the Roman Empire,
Citv Hall (16Z7), the Ar-
chbishop's residence or
Tau Palace (1690), Place
Royale (1760) dedicated to
King Louis XV. etc.
Annual events: Trade

tian IV wrote many of his let-
tere, and in the "winter room,"

ed. "We welcome any sug-
gestions, but in particular
those that will not have a
major negative impact on
the deficit," he said.
The committee has
already received and is
reviewing a proposal by the
Canadian Real Estate
Association (CREA) to
allow first-time
homeowners to use their
RRSP funds for a downpay-
ment on a house. Mr.
Soetens indicated that the
Committee will be holding
hearings on that proposal
in the coming weeks.
"CREA have clearly put
much thought into this pro-
posal and it looks very pro-
mising," he said.
Mr. Dorin also cited pro-
visions regarding
automobile expense deduc-
tions as an area in the tax
code that could be usefully
reviewed. "When the
Finance Committee ex-
amined the 1987 income tax
reforms," Mr. Dorin said,
"We received more com-
plaints about the treatment
of automobile expenses
than any other area of tax-
ation. The rules are ex-
ceedingly complex, and
four years of living with
them has not made them
any more popular."
The committee will
review all proposals it
receives and will hold hear-
ings on those judged to
have sufficient merit. The
committee hopes to pro-
vide a public process for
receiving and evaluating
measures which can be in-
corporated into future
government budgets.
