(Photo - Bob Watson) Durham Bd. Of Education Notes T.R_V. Committee Report Received Trustees were very pleased with the new data they received from the latest report of the T.R.Y. Committee. Superinten- dent of Education, Special Education Bill Fairburn and Principal Jim Weaver were present to explain the report and to outline the work done by the commit- tee. The committee was formed in 1996 to research the dropout rate in Durham and to recommend strategies to help keep young people in school longer. In 1987, the Rad- wansski Report stated that the provincial dropout rate was approximately one in three students. The T.R.Y. Report of the following year stated that Durham's rate was consistent with the provincial average; however, refined data col- lection clearly has shown that Durham's rate is ac- tually less than 10%. The many initiatives undertaken by the board over the past several years have had a significant im- pact on the retention rate. These include peer counselling. guidance co- operative education pro- grams, remedial assistance in academic subjects, guidance technical business co- operative education pro- grams for transition into the workplace, and others. Trustees commended the members of the T.R.Y. Committee for their hard work and wished them every success with their continued efforts to provide initiatives to keep students in loagieir and bring students back to school after they have dropped out. Suicide Prevention In- itiative Com mesdcd The board's Suicide Prevention Initiative has resulted from the work of a community-based group of people in the northern area of Durham Region who responded to a number of student suicide attempts. They have developed a pamphlet entitled "Where Do I Go From Here'.' and a wallet -sized "Help Care" which they hope to issue to all students in the area. Funding for the printing of these materials is being sought from local service clubs. Progress Report Received Trustees received a pro- gress report on the In- tegrated Apprenticeship Program for secondary students. The pilot pro- gram, approved by. both the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Skills Development, was begun two years ago in order to make apprenticeship more accessible, adaptable and appealing to students and to provide students with a smooth transition into meaningful, career - oriented training. Teachers, local employers and government agencies work together as a team to implement the program for the benefit of Durham Board students. The components of theory, academics and worksite training are credited toward both the Ontario Secondary School Diploma and apprenticeship. The first student s to graduate last June from this pro- gram were registered first- year apprentices as well as secondary school graduates. Trustees commended the program as an excellent vehicle for attracting young people to skilled trades, for providing graduates with marketable skills and for enabling students to become registered apprentices while staying in school un- til graduation. Copyright Materials Agreement Signed Education Minister Marion Boyd has signed on behalf of boards of educa- tion an agreement giving teachers the legal means to photocopy works protected by copyright. The agree- ment between[ the Ministry of Education and Canopy (Canadian Reprography Collective) allows not-for- -profit photocopying of published materials for in- structional purposes. Schools will receive infor- mation about the agree- ment this month and teachers will receive a brochure that outlines everything they need to know about photocopying copyright material. The Ministry has committed $2 PRINTING �idakaoril: l�►s'aCtug OFFICE CEMTTW- 683.1968 r million this fiscal year to cover copyright royalties and erasure that teachers and students have access to the materials they need. Pickering Separate School Trustee, Kevin Ashe, is seeking re-election as a Pickering Trustee. Ashe, 29, was first elected in 1985 and re- elected in 1968. "During the past six years, a period of tremen- dous growth, the Board has faced many challenges. The next three years will see many new challenges including the development of the Seaton community, the transformation of cur- riculum and the decreasing funding from the Provin- cial Government. It is more important than ever to have experienced trustees who are not afraid to take a strong stand on the issues facing them," he said. Kevin presently serves as the Chairman of the English Language section of the board. In addition, Kevin was elected to serve Local 218 - Educational Assistants ratified a two year agreement which will be effective Sept. 1, 1991 to Aug. 31,1993. As required by Pay Equity Legislation, the hourly rate for perma- nent and probationary Educational Assistants will be increased by 6% in the first year and 5.5% in the second year in order to maintain pay equity with the position established as the male comparator. The rate for 1991 will be $16.91 per hour and for 1992 will `w $17.84 per hour. Over a two year phase-in period. a rate differential A I1 be established for Temporary Educational lssistants and Supply Educational Assistants employed for less than 21 consecutive days. The 19W 91 hourly rate of $15.95 will be maintained for the first year and increased to 90% of the hourly rate for permanentor probationary employees, or $16.06, for the second yew. Included in the agree- ment greemeat are a number of amendments to the benefit parkage which ich reflect the benefits in the C.U.P.E. Custodial and Clerical agreements and are deter- mined by Pay Equity re- gxrements. The total addi- banal cost of the agree- ment which covers 346 full and part time Edilwabonal Assistants will be $315,616 or 5.51% in the first year and $309,451 or 5.12% in the second year.

Madam Members of Parliament now enjoy what can be fairly called a gold-plated pension plan. After only six years in office, MPs qualify for a life pen- sion starting the veryday they leave Parliament, regardless of their age. The pension starts at more than $17.000 per year and has unlimited protection against infla- tion. An MP retiring at age 31 could easily collect more than $2,000,000 in lifetime pension payments. What's worse, the Chief Actuary of Canada has estimated that the MPs pen- sion plan has an unfunded liability - a taxpayers' IOU - of $144 million. There are some principled MPs from four different political parties who believe the pension plan should be reformed by bringing it into line with private sector stan- dards. We are calling these MPs "The Good". Other MPs want to keep their lavish pension plan and we call them "The Bad". Most MPs, however, are fence sitters who don't state where they stand on this important issue. We call them "The Bashful". We urge your readers to praise the good MPs, scold the bad and urge them to change their position, and demand that the bashful declare where thev stand. Voters can find out who their MPs are by calling Elections Canada toll free at 1-800-267-M&I. The time to act is now because MPs must make a decision this fall on reforming their pension plan. Our political leaders must lead by example. Our MPs can do that by bringing their pension plans into line with those offered to Canadians in the pnvate sector. Yours sincerely.

Canada hosted some 15 million visitors cap- tivated by its beauty and tradition. while Canadian residents made over 60 million trips to destinations outside Canada. Following are some additional facts about travel between Canada and other countries. Americans comprise the largest segment of Canada's tourist market. Statistics Canada reports that over 12 million Americans visited Canada for one night or more in 1989. while the combined total of travellers from other coun- tries was only about three million.

Four Stamps Focus On 1941 2nd.World War On Nov. 8, Canada Post Corporation will issue the third set of stamps in a series commemorating the Second World War. Entitled "Total War".the set of four 40•cernt stamps looks at different aspects of the war in 1911, the year the hostilities grew to include Japan. the United States and the Soviet Union. The stamps depict the defence of Hong Kong, women in the armed forces, war industry, and veteransand cadets. In 1941, the British government requested that Canada send troops to Hong Kong to defend it from the Japanese. 7Wvo botWxins were sent, The Royal Rifles of Canada and the Winnipeg Grenadiers. Though having foutglnt valiantly, the under -equipped and under -trained troops suffered a crushing defeat when the Japanese invaded on December 8. The design shows three Canadian soldiers manning an anti- aircraft position at Hong Kong. 7'be role of women in the armed forces is commemorated with a stamp showing members of the three women's bran- ches of the armed forces: the Canadian Women's Auxiliary Air Force (later the Royal Canadian Air Force, Women's Division). the Canadian Women's Army Cotes, and the Woman's Royal Canadian Naval Service. Also shown on the stamp is a "nursing sister", the term for nurses serving with the awned forces, who often worked close to the front to treat the wotanded. A third stamp looks at the changes to Canadian industry and the workforce during the war, when new factories sprang up practically overnight to meet the overwhelming demand for war material. One of the most dramatic changes to the workforce occurred as a result of the labour shortage brought on by the war, when women were increas- ingly called to work in previously male occupations. The stamp shows male and female workers assembling an anti- aircraft gum in an artillery factory. The fourth stamp focuses on veterans and cadets, who also played a significant role during the war. Many veterans of the First World War who failed to meet the age or health regttirements for the second conflict were able to serve in veteran's organizations such as the Veteran's Home Guard ( later the Veteran's Guard of Canada), which helped provide guards for factories, prisoner of war camps, and other sites. Members of cadet corps, whether army, navy or air force, receive a wide variety of instruction in military and leadership skills, and often choose to serve their country in the military, as many did during the Second World War. The stamp shows a group of military cadets listening to veteran's tales of past wars. Montreal designer Pierre -Yves Pelletier created the stamps using illustrations by Pierre Armtanville, also of Montreal. Mainstream Canada Treading carefully over trilateral trade Br Michael Wvcks In this age of global eco- nomics, one of the buzz terms emerging is "free trade." Canada, while busy adjusting ;o the realities of the three -year - Ad Free Trade Agreement (FTA) "irh the United States, is now involved in negotiations with Mexico and the United States for a North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). Canada's small business community, not an impartial observer, is watching the negoti- ations with considerable caution. This message from Catherine Swift, chief economist and vice president, research of the Cana- dian Federation of Independent Business, speaking at the 18th International Small Business Congress, held recently in Nash- ville, Tennessee. "There are the problems that have resulted from the bilateral FTA, com- bined with the relative unfamil- iarity with Mexico as compared to a considerable knowledge about the U.S. Frankly, it's no surprise small firms in Canada have reacted warily to the trilateral talks," Swift said. This apprehension is in stark contrast to a small business community which largely sup- ported the FTA up to and through its passage into law on January 1, 1989. Back then, Canada's economy was vibrant and strong; lately it's been mired in recession. Swift says small businesses look back and view the early infancy of the FTA as a wasted opportunity. "The federal government's policies have effectively scuttled any benefits the agreement would initially have spawned,' says Swift. "Misguided policies have included a sizable appmd- ation in the Canadian dollar vis-a-vis its U.S. counterpart, a record -high spread between Canadian and U.S. interest rates, and further expansion of the total tax burden on Cana- dians generally and small firms in particular. Of all the difficul- ties small firms have faced in the adjustment period to date, the government's exchange rate policy has been the greatest offender." All of the above notwith- standing, small businesses in Canada have not turned their back on the Canada/U.S. bilateral agreement. The sup- port for freer markets and less restrictive economic policies continues to be strong. In fact. CFIB survey results indicate 85 per cent have the same point of view on the agreement today as they had prior to its im- plementation three years ago. The small business community rightly perceives inconsistent government policies as the problem and not the FTA itself. Swift stressed that the exchange rate movements dur- ing the first two years of the FTA had a major role to play in rendering Canadian small firms. less competitive mot only in export markets, but also in their own backyard. The result, she says, is the majority of small firms are still waiting for the highly promised benefits of the FTA to materialize "Therefore, it should not be surprising to find that more small Canadian firms at this time believe that a trilateral deal will have a negative impact on their business. Their outlook has been tarnished by a sputter- ing economy and faulty govern- ment policies." Swift says. "The arrival of the FTA should have been an occasion for a more outward orimmion on the part of small firms. instead, it has turned into a nightmarish scenario making buninress owners much more suspicious about future initiatives of this type." :-FIB = atu,e $erose Here and There Technology To Match Home Buyers and Sellers Royal LePage is introducing a new real estate service across Ontario next week that uses computer technology to match home buyers and properties listed for sale.

Another is to help reduce the demand on the utility's system, especially during the winter peak period. The average block heater user plugs the heater in upon his or her return from work and it stays that way for 10 or more hours. However, a vehicle's engine need only cuddle up to a block heater for two to four hours to get warm. For that reason, Hydro's energy efficiency experts are recommending that rather than leave the heater operating for 10 hours, using a timer can cut that operating time to two -to -four hours and save the user both electricity and money. Not only do outdoor timers control the hours of operation of block heater timers, they can also be us- ed with outdoor. security and Christmas lighting systems. Outdoor timer sales across Ontario increased by 150 percent, to 51,650 units, during last year's promotion period. In order to obtain the re- fund, purchasers may return a form, similar to Hydro's compact fluores- cent bulb rebate form, which will be available from participating retailers. By mailing the form to Ontario Hydro, purchasers will be refund- ed $10, by mail, in four to six weeks. In fact, the energy effi- ciency experts point out that a motor vehicle block heater draws about 520 watts of electricity - the same amount consumed by a clothes washer or a refrigerator -freezer. 439.6722 AM TYPES OF INSURAWE • Aub • C mu* • Fire • L,abiity • Lire • Bonds .

POST Wed. November C 1991 Bill Watt's Worlds AT THE OPERA: Benjamin Britten's Albert Herring is being presented by the Canadian Opera Company at The Elgin Theatre until Nov. 17th. We were unfamiliar with the work but by cod, we thought there might be .something fishy about it. So, just for the halibut, we .attended in the hope that we might emerge singing Salmon Enchanted Even- That wasn't really the case at all but, 'pun our word, we couldn't resist be- ing outrageously puny if not funny. Would that Albert Herr- ing is funny. It's intended as a comic opera but isn't, and for the same reason that no opera written in English ever works.

Neither is German for that matter but the melodic genius of Mozart, Wagner and the other masters transcends the linguistic difficulties of their language. Britten's music does not. _ Albert Herring pro- bably be afunny.fi dated play. One imagines with pleasure what Oscar Wilde or Saki might have done with it. Noel Coward could probably have turned it in- to an enjoyable operetta. As opera, however, the We of Albert Herring (no pun intended) comes across the footlights as a sophomoric exercise. Let's be brutally honest in saying that it actually has a soporific effect. We noted more than the usual number of nodding heads during its unfolding. Briefly, Albert Herring is .the story of a young, turn of the century shop keeper (H. G. Wells' Kipps perhaps?) chosen to be the May King of a small English town because of a lack of suitable May queens. (No gender ben- ding please. And, no references to Margery Sharp's the Stone of Chasti- ty either!). His celebratory lemonade cup laced with rum unknown to him, he embarks on a night of more or less drunken debauchery and emerges from it a man. It's a cute story if familiar (Britten, after all, is to music as Hugh Walpole is to English letters ) and one is well aware of its comedic poten- tial. But, damme! The lyrics declaimed in English lose all semblance of hurnotr, let alone comedy, even when they are in- telligible. It's no one's fault mind you, that Albert Herring is "LLY'S STEAKS & SHRIMPS $9.95 Charcoal Broiled Jr.Cut N.Y.Steak and De icious Smaded Shrimps. !'-C _S_ _T ff) i 59.95 ' B B O Rids.Tendr Chidren Fwgars -and Bad Bio _ _ _ —"I*---'-' �_AFOOD COMBINATION S8.9�.

David Lloyd -Jones con- ducts with firmness the challenging Britten score... challenging not because of difficulty but of dullness. Director Martin Duncan moves his performers around well and some of them actually succeed in making their characters come alive. Craig Ashton tackles the title role (again, no pun in- tended) manfully and emerges from the ex- perience with honour. Gabriella Prata gets better every time one sees her; this time, she's the sexy girl friend of Albert's best friend. We wish she were ours. Guillermo Silva - Marin is a surprising, to us. good character actor as a silly ass mayor. And, that's about it. One is reluctant to pan fry Albert Herring, feeling, as always, that possibly we have missed something. Neither however, can one priase it. Sorry. ON STAGE: ONE Gordon Pinsent opens Nov. 15th at the Bathurst Street Theatre in "The Stun of Us". It's the story of a man having to come to terms with his son's homosexuality.

One thinks of one critic who seems to fed that his in- itials bestow divinity upon him. We're here simply to say that Grand Hotel was a smashing grand musical of the type all to rarely ex- perienced these days. By that, we mean it was filled with music, singing and dancing. Not all of them were memorable but the over all effect was simply stunning. ( Mind, we should also add that we saw it the evening after we saw Albert Herring and possibly we were even more receptive than usual to the blandishments of a big and good stage musical). So if you read some of the other reviews and didn't at- tend because of them, take it from us that you missed a grand experience. And we can't resist carp- ing about the self perceived divine one who doesn't know or care that caricature means grotes- que, not larger than life which is what theatre is all about. In any case, why blame an actor for follow- ing direction? ON RECORD: The reality is that there is no such thing as "over- night success" and precious little of early suc- cess in the performing arts. Most artists have worked long and hard to achieve their first commercial sue - cess. The public, however, believes in instant success and is less than warm to an artist whose first is of a blockbuster nature and not followed immediately - im- mediately! - by another. Consider singer i songwriter Dan Hill. His Sometimes When We Touch exploded on the popular music scene around 1976 or 77 and has became a virtual standard. It still receives consistent air play. Yet, some will be heard to say "What ever happen- ed to Dan Bill?" Well nothing happened to him. He continued to write and record. His songs and his presentation of them were all and more than any public could wish but that just couldn't seem to match the popularity of Sometimes When We Touch. We have an idea, though, that that's all going to change and soon. That's after an invitational hear- ing of his latest album and video, Dance of Love (Quaiity Records). It was at The Party Centre (Oldsters will remember when it used to be the Labour Temple) and condi- tions were not of the op- timum for critical assess- ment. What we saw and heard even under such con- ditions, however, convince us that Dan Hill is on the way back, even though he's never really been away. We have the full C.D. at our elbow as this is being written and promise a full review as soon as cir- cumstances permit proper listening. We suggest, however, that a review from this old crock shouldn't be necessary, not with music that evenly balances the cerebral with the sentimen- tal. Good stuff, Daniel! ON YOUR TOES: It is time once again for our Swan Lake fix and we are off tonight to The O'Keefe and the National Ballet's Swan Lake starr- ing Karen Kain, Serge Lavoie and Victoria Ber- tram. A full review will follow but honestly now, need it be awaited? What after all can be better than the national's Swan Lake encouraging and understanding. Discussion includes such topics as stress, weight gain, withdrawal and maintenance. not to men- tion the benefits of being free from cigarettes. For more information, phone Yazrneen or Liz at 864.1112. ....:::: "k =:;z - with Karen Kain in the lead? The National's next presentation will be a trio of short works, namely Concerto for Flute and Harp, Pastorale and the world premiere of resident choreographer John Alleyne's latest work. Original publicity releases were to the effect that the work was as yet, untitled. We have now received the title. It is In- terrogating Slam. We are further advised that it is choreographed to All My Hummingbirds Have Alibis. Hmm, last season there was Mr. Alleyne's Time Out With Lola. New, we have Interrogating Slam. Though he is wished well, Mr. Alleyne might be runn- ing out of his time at home plate. FAST EXIT: The perception of Canada by others can be noted in the strangest of ways and places. When one cruises on the S.S.Amerikanis (a misnomer if ever there was one; steam ships haven't cruised for many years) there is a choice of eight decks.. Diminishing in preference from the best to the least they are Boat Deck, Sun Deck, Athens, Jerusalem, Washington, Rome, Lisbon and... the Ot- tawa Deck. Perhaps The Chin should have become the Secretary General of the United Na- tions. Presumbaly our deck rating might then be elevated.

PACT asked 19 vital cations reflecting can- didates' opinions on landfill disposal, incineration, waste reduction and recycling. and legislation, as well as their personal in- volvement with the en- vironment. On the issue of Waste Reduction and Recycling, 99% of the responding can- didates would support an increase of blue box items for recycling as well as ex- panding the program to apartments and businesses. The same page of respondents agree to the encourage - at of more reduction and recycling by business and industry, as well as more backyard composting by roti demos. Surpcisingly. amort half the respondents are not in favour of residential pay - by -bag. However, 77% would support mandatory recycling in the commer- cial i industrial sector. There is major agree- ment to expand current ef- forts in the area of reduc- tion and recycling by 89% of the respondents who would support new pro - gams to put deposits on pop cans, and liquor and wine bottles. On the issue of Landfill Disposal there was indeci- sion presented by the can- didates. Only 68% of those responding agreed that relieving any alleged "gar- bage crisis" was not worth the risk of sacrificing class Al farmland and!or en- vironmentally sensitive lands. An encouraging 81% of the respondents did not think Durham Region is do- ing enough to protect and enhance green space. PACT is concerned about the large number of can- didates that claimed a lack of knowledge on the issues of Landfill and Incinera- tion. A disturbing 43% did not know whether they w --rd resist a possible ex- tension of the Brock West site beyond the currently permitted volume. On such a critical issue, is this the type of rsponse the voters want to bear from those boiling to represent our communities? Lack of knowledge was also claimed by many when asked about ineinexa- tion. One quarter of those responding did not know what they would do should a proposal for use of in- cineration be presented for future waste disposal in Durham Region. Although such a propsal is yet to be presented by the Region. PACT is shocked by the percentage of uninformed candidates seeking our vote. :•:==== :M::�:-::x�::� At Durham Board Freedom of Of Education Expression is Valuable :{:..............::Sfi3� rte: ..

Recently, the Atomic Energy Control Board (AECB) published a report "Tritium Releases from the Pickering Nuclear Generating Station and the Birth Defects and In- fant Mortality Rate in Nearby Communities 1971-1988". This report presents the results of a detailed analysis of deaths and birth defects occuring in infants born to mothers living in the area of the Pickering nuclear power plant over an 18 -year period. The analysis looked at the frequency of these deaths and defects in comparison to the general rate for Ontario, and also in relation to airborne and waterborne releases of tritium from the power plant. Tritium is a radioactive by-product created by normal operations at a CANDU reactor. The AECB enforces strict regulations on the amount of tritium that is allowed to escape the plant's boundaries. These releases, on average, result in radiation doses to the population that are less than a hundredth of the annual dose received from naturally oc- curring sources of radiation. Notwithstanding this, certain people and special interest groups have charged that people living near CANDU plants suffer from tritium -induced health problems. The overall conclusion was that the rates of infant deaths and birth defects were generally not higher in the study area than in the rest of Ontario. There was no prevalent relationship between deaths or birth defects and tritium releases. A specific conclusion was that the findings con- tradict the 1988 claim by Mr. David MacArthur that there was an elevated infant death rate in Pickering due to water- borne releases of tritium from the nuclear generating sta- tion. With respect to the ejevated rates of Down's Syndrome, the report concluded than any possible relationship with tritium releases was weak and contradictory. Ratber research was recommended to verify the mother's residence at the time of birth, and to examine other possible contributing factors such as medical x-ray exposure and the occuupatiors of both Wents. Like all constituents, I was relieved to hear that there were no established lurks between tritium releases and birth defects. 1 was also concerned by the lack of explana- tion regarding the high rate of Down's Syndrome in the area. That is why in the Hare of Commons this week, I ask- ed the Minister of Energy, Mines and Resources to provide a report that will help explain this situation. The Honourable Minister responded positively and promised to pursue the matter further with the AECB in order to shed some light on this situation 7G{ }:!ti:. � .:--:r: JL -:t•: }Sr:� .:•::ti::::::fi:: � s:: _{i }:f ::::..:tiv:.:•:{?'= FREEDOM FROM FEAR The Freedom from Fear Foundation is a non-profit organization that helps people suffering from anxiety disorders, pec, per, etc. Meetings are held regularly, and if you would like to rind out more please can s31-3511.
