December 24, 1991 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Santa Loves Volunteers & Funders Letter to the Editor: We have it on good authority that Santa has a special place in his heart for the Volunteers and funders at the Distress Centre. He regrets that he can't give them what they want -most for Christmas this year, it is beyond the realm of his powers. He can only give the physical gifts that children so desperately need and want. For the kind of things the Distress Centre wants. he has no powers. He has told us, however, that he has great respect and ad- miration for those that selflessly either volunteer their time or help fund the Distress Centre. Without their help, he says. the despair and hurt in the community would be far greater. He realizes that without these people, the social problems that plague us today would also be far greater: that these people are responsible for helping many a child get an abuse free environment: that there are many teenagers and adults still alive today because of them. that lonely people such as the ones that are shut in for the winter. have a human voice to connect with: that these volunteers enable the community to pour out their stressors. All in all. he knows that without these selfless. giving peo- ple. his job would be even more difficult that it already is. He wants us to convey to the volunteers and funders his thanks and a hope for better times. '.Nancy, Desiree. Ronny Staff Distress Centre Durham Oshawa. Ontario On Street Youth Dear Editor: On Stn. Dec 8. we had the occasion. I say this was an oc- casion because I can't say- it was a pnvilege, to hear from spokespersons of our street youth. Mike Pak spoke to a Urutarian Congregation. Afterwards 1 was able to tell Mr. Pac that to hear about youth from himself, as one of the speakers of Street Kids, had a far greater impact than to hear of their problems in sernwas from the pulpits on high. We all have a responsibility to invite these yo ung people to our libraries, our schools and our churches, we should allow a soap box invitation in every mall to Id them tell their story themselves. Maybe then we will realize that drugs are not so much the problem. -drugs are the conse- quencY.. It seems that society must have a target to shoot at, and pull down. In the past it has been race, it las been gender and it has been :Native Canadians. At present it is our own youth and they am most vulnerable. The more vulnerable the target the greater the momentum becomes till the vic- tims are prostate and helpless. The greatest crime on our part is to repeat the phase as I have heard it repeated - that the poor and helpless have always been with is therefore always will. our feminine gender has recently made great strides in the almost insur- mountable battle of gender egahty. We can no longer say that wife beating and rape have always been with us, therefore we should accept or apologize for such phrases. Our youth are less experienced in this battle oflegalities and rights toward respectable understanding by their col- lective superiors whose own broken homes are a bad begin- ning for our youth. There is an organized movement to have Property Rights entrenched in our constitution. Property rights that do not now allow Street Kids to take warm refuge -.n any of our Changes Due To Holidays Due to Christmas Day and :New Year's Day being on our Wednesday publishing days, we are changing our publishing schedule as follows: Following issue - Wed.

Bean Should Quit DAVIDSOMERVILLE Daryl Bean, president of the 170,000 -strong Public Service Alliance of Canada, has learned that it doesn't pay to pick on grandmothers. Mr. Bean recently sent a frightful letter b three female public servants named Helen Fraser, Dianna Haight and Jackie Nezezon - all of them grandmothers. In his letter, he called them 'SCABS' and included a quote from American author Jack London which read: "No man has a right to scab as long as there is a pod of water to drown his carcass in, or a rope king enough to hang his body with'. Mr. Bean's letter was written in response to letters the three women had sent to him expressing their concern over the intimidation and threats which they experienced or witnessed on picket fees during the rational PSAC strike. Picket line violence, of course. has become an too common here in Canada. During the recent nation- wide strike by PSAC for instance. Canadians read almost daily about scenes of sidce►wg viobrxce and lawlessness on picket rites. Nezezon. Fraser and HagM. all of whom opted to cross the picket lime in order to earn a living, were determined to stand up for thew rights. Instead of being NAwd when they got Beans odious reply. they went public - On November 25th, they held a news conference in Ottawa and made Bean's letter public. The reaction from unions, politicians and the media was swift and powerful. Mary Collins, the Minister for the Status of Women urged Bean to mend his "deplorable" ways. Editorials in the Globe and Matz. Edmonton Sun, Ottawa Citizen and other papers condemned Bean. The Globe went so far as to call his letter tantamount to 'uttering a death threar. Even a union leader denounced Bean. kis Craig. head of Professional Institute of the Public Service. went on record as saying Bean should not be 'wtwpWV them (his members) publicly'. For tris part. the embattled Bean has remained unrepentarc He not only refused to apologize to the three women but declared publicly that 'scabs' were -the most despicable people in the world'. He has even boasted that he will use the frightlenirg Ontario Minister of Culture and Communicatioris, Karen quote at Jack London Hashem has announced a new $5 million pr agi am and the again- creation of a Publishing Centre to support the province's Clearly.

This program Governor 's approach s a profound change in the Ontario pproach to the support of publishing, said the Minister, adding that magazine publishing will be assisted as an industry for the first time through this in- itiative. The fund, which will be available to both large and small polishers, will be used to support sales and marketing, both international and domestic, and to help develop new writers and purchase new technologies- The Mnistry's ex- iatwg loan guarantee and interest subsidy program will continue. An advisory committee representative of Ontario's regions and culturally diverse comm unities win develop program guidelines and eligibility criteria for the funding. About 4,500 people work in publishing in Ontario. Book sales in Canada have totalled more than $1 billion dollars annual- ly in recent years. Tire Minister said: "Not only is the publishing industry essential to our economy, but now more than ever, it is vital to enuring our culttral sovereignty through its expression of our unique identity as a province and a nation. Canadian literature has a contribution to make to world culture. This government will continue to do whatever it takes to protect an industry that gives a distinct voice to writers from many origins with widely differing Canadian stories to tell." Sorbara Enters Race For Liberal Leadership Greg Sorbara has announced his candidacy for the leadership of the Ontario Liberal Party, calling for pro- grams to revitalize the province's economy, reform its political system and make government efficient and responsive to people. Mr. Sorbara said the IVDP government's inability to cope with the challenges confronting the province make the Liberal response crucial. "I believe Ontario is worth fighting for," he said. "Right now we have a government that is stuck in neutral, watching the rest of the world pass it by." He said the priority must be "to jumpstart the economy, and ensure Ontario's ability to compete in the world as it is and not as it was. We cannot write off so many Ontarians to economic stagnation. We simply cannot afford to cast aside the talents of 10 percent of our people." The province's economic agenda must be based on a com- mitment to full and meaningful employment for all On- tarians, he said. That must include: a province -wide pro- gram of infrastrut-Kure building and renewal; expanded trade links to emerging markets around the world; and dramatically improved performance in R&D. education and training. Economic revitalization is possible only with a govern- ment commitment to effective fiscal management and holding the line on taxes, Mr. Sorbara said. "Hand in hand with economic renewal must come more efficient and responsive social programs, and a reformed system to deliver swift justice for victims of crime, and for victims of human rights abuses " To achieve these goals. Mr. Sorbara emphasized that On- tario's political system must be reformed to give people "a more direct and effective say in how we are governed." That should include an expanded role for 1PPs, and through theme the people they represent. Greater democracy must also include a fixed date for elections." he said. "This is a reform that will make the backroom players cringe - and help make our democratic system work.** New $5 Million Publishing Program Here and There Modest Improvement Forecast Canada's residential real estate market perked up in 1991 compared with last year's sluggish performance. Slow but steady improvement in hone sales and paces is forecast for 1992, according to the Royal LePage Market Survey released last week at news conferences in Toronto and other major Canadian cities. By the end of this year, total unit sales across the country are expected to have risen by nearly 2D% over 1990 levels, according to Gino Rornanese. Executive Vice President for Royal LePage.

From January to Oc- tober 1991, there were 50 cases of pulmonary tuber- culosis, compared to 26 in the same period last year, and 34 cases of ex- trapulmonary tuberculosis this year compared to 27 for the whole of 1990 in the city of North York. Tuberculosis is a disease caused by bacterium that is spread through the air, particularly in poorly ven- tilated spaces. Pulmonary TB affects the lungs while extrapulmonary is outside the lungs, most often in lymph glands, bones or organs. "The increase is a warn- ing sign to watch for the disease but it does not pose a substantial health risk for most people in the com- munity," said North York associate Medical Officer of Health Dr. Joan Mc- Causland. "If people suspect they've come in contact with the disease, they should contact their family doctor and get treatment without delay," she added. TB drugs are provided to the public free of charge by local public health depart- ments through family doc- tors. With pulmonary TB, vic- tims may suffer a general malaise, lack of appetite, or weight loss with fever, cough and night sweats in advanced cases. TB can be mistaken as a persistent cold during winter months and diagnosed in the spring when the cough persists. With extrapulmonary TB, raised lymph nodes, Hogman y At Gibson House Welcome the New Year in traditional Scottish style during Hogmanay at the Gibson House. Sat. Dec. 28 Mid Sun.

Many TB cases among the elderly are not new in- fections but resurgences of the disease contracted earlier in life. Diagnoses can be difficult because many seniors exhibit symptoms during winter months that are similar to TB, like respiratory pro- blems and fatigue. Recent arrivals to Canada may have had no signs of illness when they immigrated but within two years show signs of distress for a variety of reasons, including stress or poor diet. "The resurgence of TB cases here parallels similar trends in Canada but unlike the increase in the United States, our cases are not linked to the AIDS epidemic, Mc- Causland said. Tuberculosis is spread only by the small number of those who have active tuberculosis, characterized by vigorous coughing and large pockets of the germ in the lungs. In the general popula- tion, TB generally does not spread easily but in nurs- ing homes or retirement hones, where marry elder- ly people are breathing the same air, the disease can spread more quickly.

This play is one of Neil Simon's better plays with some great one liners and a great comedy plot. It deals with Barney Cashman, a fish restaurant owner in New York who in his 40's feels that life has passed him by or as he actually says .'ignored him". He initiates some extra marital flings with three different women using his mother's apartment. All three are doomed to failure but not before we've had lots of laughs and a very funny time. I have seen this play a number of times but this production could still make me laugh. It is well cast, deftly directed by Tem Hallatt. with crisp pacing. The three roman are Pat Beaken-Brown, Anita Vandeneykel. and Andrea Risk. Each one has her own act, and each one gives us a good characteriatioa of their roles. Nice acting ladies, especially Andrea Risk as the woman with a:l the hang ups. She hit just the right level without going over the top. The pivotal role of Barney was played by Karry Mosicid. I have not had the pleasure of seeing this actor on stage before. Therefore it was a pleasant surprise to watch his ac- ting. This man knows how to play comedy, and play it well, right down to the body movements and the wonderful face acting. He must be a not in a farce.

SCA?BCRCUGH In Ontario the legislation governing this is primarily the Labour Relations Act. Fifteen years have passed since the 2W Town Centre Court Act was last reviewed and the new government has now set 296-9622 up a consultation on possible reforms.

A corporate minimum tax would hurt investment and job creation in Ontario, particularly in research and development and high technology areas that now carry some tax incentives. CityPlan '91 Proposals Released in June 1991, the Proposals Report con- tains more than 500 pages and 300 recommendations regarding a new Central Area plan for the (Sty of Toronto. In a subrrnssion to the ci- ty's Director of Planning Policy. the board's Ad -Hoc Committee on ClityPlan '91 points out that this blueprint for Toronto's future does not contain an economic development strategy for the city. In- stead. the report proposes increased park levies. new public arts levies. reduced parking standards, more rigid urban design griddines and a $10 per square foot linkage fee an all new commercial development. These costs are in addition to the 2% levy for parkland and un- favourable market value reassessment on the com- mercial sector. As the board states in its submis- s�on "Tbese measures are clearly not intended to foster business devekma The board also discusses in detail proposed Official Plan changes affecting transportation, the en- vironment, Mussing and ur- ban design. Ontario Housing Framework Discussion Ina letter to the Ontario Minister of Housing, the board's Planning Commit- tee states its concern that the policy paper totally ig- nores the role of the private sector in the provision of Musing and ignores the issue of home ownership. While the board can sup- port some of the proposed options, including better uses of the existing housing supply, it questions the ability of the taxpayer to support massive increases in social housing. Metro Toronto's Winter Waterfront In its submission, the board expresses its ap- preciation to the Royal Commission on the Future of the Toronto Waterfront for sponsoring a Metro Toronto Winter Waterfront Report. The board original- ly suggested that the com- mission sponsor this research. The board notes that this report, which focuses on climatic conditions, is a good beginning and an im- portant step in the overall master plan to increase the usability of Metro Toronto's waterfront. Promoting High - Technology Investment Through Pension Funds A recent National Ad- visory Council on Science and Technology report recommended that "a 10% tax penalty be applied against the assets of pen- sion funds that do not in- vest at least 1% of their assets" in technology - sensitive firms. The board opposes this proposal in a letter to In- dustry, Science and Technology Minister Michael Wilson, arguing that such a policy would put fund managers in breach of fiduciary trust. The board also argues that merely putting money in the hands of firms which undertake substantial research and development by no means guarantees future success if there are weaknesses in production, • marketing, and manage- ment. Such a scheme would also be prone to abuse, the board believes. The appropriate solution lies in "providing incen- tives that will encourage individual taxpayers to make risk assessments and investment decisions of their own volition. POLICY IN ACTION CORPORATE LEGISLA- TION Ontario Securities Com- mission (OSC ) Chairman Robert J. Wright wrote that the board's comments regarding disclosure of ex- ecutive compensation will be taken into account as the commission deliberates the issue.

Durham Crisis Intervention Committee In the spring of 1980, a Crisis Intervention Com- munity Committee con- sisting of DBE trustees. consultants. guidance per- sonnel. teaches and ad- tmmstrators, as well as Public Health and Social Services representatives and members of the clergy, the medical profession and hospital board represen tatives, was formed in response to a series ofstu- dent suicide attempts. The frustration of the camauttee centred round the inadequacies of ser- vices in northern Durham: the overwork and backlog ed by other agen- cies; inadequate com- munication links between hospitals, school and agen- cies. and the concern of some parents about can- fidentiaiity when assessing services within the com- munity. The committee reviewed the suicide prevention and treatment programs already available in the area and their inadequacy in regard to the problem of adolescent suicide, in order to recommend to ap- propriate authorities fur- ther prevention and treat- ment action plans that should be made available. A wallet card idenfitying warning signs and symp- toms of potential suicide victims was designed and distributed to secondary and grade 7 and 8 students in Scugog, Uxbridge and Brock Townships. The cards held specific phone numbers of agencies which could provide support. A brochure was drafted and printed for hospital emergency rooms, school guidance offices, doctors' waiting rooms, churches and appropriate agencies for distribution to "at -risk.. students. The committee has made several recommendations; to the Durham Board of Education to help make staff and students aware of potential problems and how to take appropriate ac- tion and make recommen- dations to agencies in other areas to make them more accessible. A resulting heightened awareness among staff and students has led to more referrals and timely intervention by school and community resources. The success of the pro• gram to date has led the Committee to its decision to distribute the wallet cards region -wide to all secon- dary and grade 7 and a students.

Airport people from many countries have taken a closer look at Copenhagen Air- Po`rt- The 12 million passengers who pass through Copenhagen Airport every year really- ciate its large. well designed shopping center. Since the center developed a completely new concept for an airport, the turnover has more than doubled to US S 150 mil- lion in 1990. When you take into account that passenger levels have only increased by 151x, it is crystal clear that our concept was right. "The shops at many inter- national airports contain a mix- ture of everything, and we don't want that at Copenhagen Air- port," explains Managing Director, Max Juul. "We have concentrated on specialty shops where pas- sengers can easily see the over- all selection of goods in the particular area which interests them", comments Max Juul. AN ENVIABLE ELDORADO Copenhagen Airport has no fewer than 29 specialty shops which combine to provide a fantaatic selection of top qu- ality, international branded goods. The tax-free shops with wines & spirits, tobacco aid perfume. arc among the most well -stocked tax-free shops, and the prices are among the k>west in Europe. There are also various service facilities such as restaurants. mini-boteL sauna, bank, etc. .'The doubling of turnover means that our concept was cor- rect, but the architecture and design has also played a large role", says Max Juul. "Copenhagcrn Airport is not only one of the most lavish in Europe, it is also the easiest to find your way around in. This is one of the reasons for a con- siderablc increase in the number of transit passengers every year", he says. Max Juul explains, many in- ternational airport people are envious of Copenhagen Air- port's concept. They flock to take a look over our shoulder, and they are welcome to do just that. We were first and therefore have the necessary experience which enables us to maintain and expand our leading edge", be says with a smile. A Little Humour...

The Family Life Ad- visory Committee was given the responsibility in 1988 of developing a policy. A subcommittee made up of trustees, parents and teaching affiliate represen- tatives was struck. After looking at several models, the subcommittee adopted the framework used by the Ontario Morals and Values Association. Family Life Education Advisory Com- mittee members presented the policy last spring to Ad- ministrative Council which in turn instructed the com- mittee to develop a ra- tionale which included a means for aligning the policy with the Values Statement in the System Plan document. The Values Education policy states that the values stated in the board's System Plan will be enacted in school en- vironments and will focus on the appreciation of and commitment to developing a positive sense of self, car- ing and respect for others, demonstrating a concern for the environment and building social visions com- patible with a democratic community. The Durham Board of Education feels the new policy will provide a values focus and reference for decision-making and a values standard against which existing and future policy may be measured. It hopes the policy will pro- vide all Durham Board employees and members of the public with the message that we have a clear, concise sense of what values precede and inform our actions. Durham Bd. Of Education Highlights Environmental Policy Ap- proved The board approved the new Environmental Policy which was developed as a result of the recommenda- tion from the Environmen- tal Policy Committee which was formed fonow- ing the fust Envuvnnwntal Summit held in April. MW at the Leslie Frost Centre, Dorset. The rationale behind the policy is that the welfare of students and the quality of the environment are seriously threatened by individual, institutional and industrial attitudes and practices which are riot ecologically sound. Trustees believe that educational institutions must provide leadership in developing values and practices which recognize the fragile nature of our en- vironment. The new En- vironmental Policy will empower partnerships for the development of en- vironmental action plans; for the development of ecologically sound business practices; for the reduction of the board's use of toxic substances; for the use of curricula to create en- vironmental awareness: for the development of waste and water reduction techniques and sound waste management pro- cedures, and for the development and retention of natural landscaping and wildlife habitats on board properties. Energy Management la- iflatives Successful Trustees received a report about energy management solutions which are being im- pkmeoted. The board has changed existing lighting to mote efficient types in various ares of 24 schools in an effort to reduce energy consumption. Through cooperative ef- forts with Ontario Hydro, this has resulted in an an- nual cost savings of over $11.000. The board invested $33,934, while Ontario Hydro invested $25,029; therefore. based on the energy cost savings, the board will recover its in- vestment in just under 3 years. The Plant Division will continue to take advan- tage of Ontario Hydro in- centives to make board buildings more efficient to operate.
