Of Education Notes 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 PRINTING �►;,rcttucg OFFICE CENTNIE 683-1968 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. Mileage Rates Set Effective Nov. 1, 1991, rates paid to trustees and employees will be 31t per kilometre or 50.251 per mile for regular duties and travel to conventions and conferences, and 36.121 per kilometre or 58.551 per mile for maintenance personnel carrying tools and equip- ment. on meeting of the Durham West Provincial Liberal Association on Tues.

October 30, 1991 Opinion a page for expression for you and us 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.

( Photo - Kim Wong) 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.

Pickering Unit Retubed in Record Time Not � Mr right b Pickering's generating unit 3 returned to service in August after a two-year retubing program - half the four years it took for Pickering 1, and less than half the five years for Pickering 2. The project team not only completed the retubing in record time, but did so within budget. The work went faster partly because of experience gain- ed on the first two units and partly because the Unit 3 outage was planned, while the other two were not. Pickering unit 4 was shut down Aug. 15 for the same work.

W 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.

October 30, 1991 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 Discover Educational Gaines, (')Books, and Toys Meat a Disco Tey dennn4tra0w and receive FREE TOYS Y ForAW*sers- Scheek.Clubs.

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 Nai ON STAGE: Marionettes, of all things, are rather much to the local theatre forefront presently - Salzburg Marionette Theatre returns to Toronto for the first time in over 25 years. It will perform at the glorious Winter Garden Theatre from Nov. 19th through the 24th. In keeping with the CITY OF SCARBOROUGH PROCLAMATION REMEMBRANCE WEEK November 4th to November 11th WHEREAS all branches of the Royal Canadian Legion will be distributing poppies on Saturday. November 9th and WHEREAS it is desirable at this time to draw to the attention of all citizens the real and deep significance of the poppy, and in so doing, remember the Canadian men and women who gave their lives in past wars to protect the liberty we enjoy today. I hereby proclaim the week of November 4th 1991 to November 11th, 1991, as Remembrance Week in the City of Scarborough. Joyce Trimmer 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. Call 4754095 for further in- 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. Community Diary (Continued from Page 4) TUES.

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 J.E.O'Heam & Son PAINTING 8 DECORATING INTERIOR i EXTERIOR 425-5043 It Pays To Advertise Rogers Cable TV 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.

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- make-up mpieme - 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. make-up and a properly worn hat will not obstruct a cNid's vision." costumes should be light in Halloween can be a fun colour and fit correctly. time for everyone, children ..Use retroreflective tape and motorists alike.

"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.
