Board Is Developing Its 1992 Budget
The Durham Board of
Education is proud of the
quality programs and ser-
vices it provides to over
55,000 students across the
region. Parents and
ratepayers over the years
have shown tremendous
support for the system as it
has worked to ensue max-
imum use of available tax
dollars for the benefit of all
learners in Durham com-
munities.
The Finance Committee
is presently developing the
199'2 budget for approval by
the board in April. A steady
decline in provincial fun-
ding, u,cresisied demands
for service and the current
economic recession have
made this a difficult task.
The first draft of the
budget, presented in
January, indicated an 11
percent increase in expen-
ditures over the 1991
budget, or an average 22
percent increase over the
1991 local mill rate.
Adding to this year's dif-
ficult deliberations is the
fact that provincial
transfer payments to
education of only I percent
for 1992 and 2 percent for
each of the following two
years were announced
recently. Although the
transfer payments are
much lower than in recent
years, it is the first time the
government has announced
payments for more than
one year at a time.
This will allow boards of
education to do more long-
term planning. At the pre-
sent time, it is unknown
how the transfer payments
will be applied; generally it
is felt they will do little
other than possibly cover
Durham's anticipated an-
nual growth of about 1000
students.
Representatives from all
Durham staff groups met
in early February to
discuss the seriousness of
the board's financial situa-
tion. Education is not in a
recession, yet its source at
revenue definitely is.
Boards of education must
continue to serve all
students in spite of funding
digiculties. Cuts made to
the 1992 budget likely will
remain in place for at least
the next three years. Staff
at all levels have been in-
vited to participate in the
budget process by making
their recommendations
known to trustees.
It is necessary to lower
the average local mill rate
increase on education
taxes but, for each I per-
cent decrease, the Durham
Board must cut $1.8 million
from the draft budget.
There are a number of
areas which trustees may
consider for possible reduc-
tion. These include cutting
most capital re-
quirements; arranging
long-term financing for
both new schools under
construction; cutting most
requests for new initiatives
and additional staff; and
postponing, where possi-
ble, minor maintenance
improvements. These cuts
would reduce the estimated
increase substantially, but
not enough to be acceptable
to trustees and local
ratepayers.
Many further cuts will be
necessary. Over the com-
ing weeks, trustees will
consider deleting a number
of major items covering a
broad spectrum of service
areas and non -mandated
programs. The nature of
these items and the im-
plication of reducing or
eliminating thea[ inidicate
the seriousness of the
dilemma facing the
Durham Board for 1992.

Aren't We All Canadians?
by Bob Watson
The spectre of very educated "native people" at Ottawa
speaking to the provincial premiers' conference about
more rights and self-government for the 1 million Cana-
dians who are descendants of the original inhabitants of our
land is ridiculous - especially when the polls show that the
vast majority of "ordinary" Canadians believe that we
Canadians have over the years treated native folks poorly.
The facts are that Trudeau gave free university training
plus room and board to all native people - at the expense of
the rest of us Canadians. Native people can sit on their
reserve lands or come into our regular society and get
employed. Of course they have cards exempting them from
all normal taxes'
A look at the federal budget reveals that each year we or-
dinary Canadian taxpayers pay out billions of dollars to
support these i million non -taxpaying native folks' Does
this make native folks poorly dealt with or are we ordinary
Canadians dishing out our tax dollars to a bunch of people
who demand their own government - presumably at our ex-
pense forever'
In our opinion a "native person" is a Canadian citizen
just like us "ordinary'* Canadians. There should be no dif-
ference because of our ancestors. Does it matter of our
grandparents came from Poland, Germany. England or the
Southern United States" Aren't we all equal under the law?
We believe that our "native people" should loop at the
calendar and stop living in the past. Let's all of us join
together as Canadians and join the year 1992 together.
We would agree with each Indian reserve in Canada
becoming a municipality like any other towel or city and
governing themselves - but under the laws of the province
and federal government. And we think %%v should all be
equal - native people should pay taxes like evenooe else.
Let's get this great country of ours together and ignore
this demand for a status called "distinct"Let's be proud to
be just Canadian' Un canadien aedun we'
Murder Rate Is Up
Letter to the Editor.
Statistics Canada has just reported that our 1991 National
Murder Rate was 2.82 per 100.000 winch was an increase
from the 10 year average of 2.55 per 100,ODo. This new 1991
murder statistic also represents an increase of almost tri-
ple the Stats Can 1962 murder rate of 1.17 per 100,000.
Remember 190' That was the last year in which any state
executions were carried out in this country. and was about
the same time that we started moving towards continuously
softening sentencing laws for murder and other violent
crimes.
When will our legislates realize that softer sentencing
laws spell more crime while stiffer sentencing laws spell
less crime'
The feds have still not learned their lesson. Bill C-12 "An
Act to Amend the 1'.0.A." presently before the senate will
mean teens tried in adult courts for murder will be eligible
for parole in, 5 to 10 years 1 down from the present 110 to 25
years) for such cases. Also Bill C-30 1 !dental Disorders)
passed quietly last November changed the definition of In-
sanity from Insane to the broader term of :dental Disorder
w-hictl will mean more criminals should be able to opt for
the softer treatment of a Mental Institution instead of the
stiffer adjudication of Jail.
If you don't agree with these or any other moves towards
softer sentencing laws let your local M.P. know.

Husband -Wife Famih Data
The area with the highest median total income of
husband -wife families in 1989 was in Fort Smith, N.W.T. at
$69.55. This is 55% higher than the national median at
$44,8110. For the 12 highest census divisions, incomes
greater than $50,000 were mostly located in western pro-
vinces.
Characteristics 1K Dual -Earner Families
Families in which both spouses reported income from
employment increased from 32.3% in 1967 to 62.3% in 1989.
No -earner families rose from 8.2% to 14.4x$, reflecting
growth in the number of elderly families and increased ear-
ly retirement.
Average family income where the husband was the sole
earner increased 52.9% to $49,000 while families where the
wife was the sole earner, income grew 125.8% to $43,140.
The average earnings of wives working full -year full-time
in dual -earner families was $22,661; for husbands with
similar work activity, the average earnings level was
$37,022, resulting in an earnings ratio of 61.2%.
Award Recognizes
Waste Reducers
by Christine Staddon
Has your company greatly reduced its hazardous waste?
If it has, it may be eligible for OWMC's outstanding Waste
Reduction Performance Award.
"We're encouraging all companies to apply for the
award," says program co-ordinator Mel Kostoveik. "We
want to hear from companies that deal with relatively
small amounts of hazardous waste, as well as the very
large guys." (Hazardous wastes are materials which are
regulated under the Environmental Protection Act and re-
quire special care in their handling, storage and disposal).
Applications will be evaluated by five waste management
experts. They will give high marks for employee commit-
ment to waste reduction and ideas that can be implemented
by other companies, Kostoveik says.
Last year's winner stands out on both counts. Since 1968,
Essex Specialty Products of London has cut hazardous
waste by 97 per cent. The company, which makes urethane
adhesives for the automotive industry, also recycles much
of its solid waste.
Plant manager Dennis Burgin says its waste reduction
program is a success because of employee involvement and
willingness to change old ways of doing things. "Ideas
came from individuals on the shop floor and they snowball-
ed," he says. For example, one person suggested installing
a device in the mixer to eliminate messy cleanouts. Another
idea was to reuse material from sampling lines instead of
sending It for incineration. These and other measures saved
Essex Specialty Products more than $170,000 last year.
Provincial Environment Minister Ruth Grier presented
Burgin with the OWMC award, a plaque, at the Technology
Transfer Conference in November. At a ceremony in Lon-
don, OWMC chairman and president Dr. Donald Chant
presented certificates to each of the company's seven
employees -
But the best part of winning the award has been the boost
it's given to the company's image, says Burgin. "winning
the award has greatly enhanced recognition of the company
by our parent corporation and by the community," he says.
Applications for the 1992 Outstanding Waste Reduction
Performance Award must be received by May 30,1992- For
details and an application form call Mel Kostovcik at (416)

Ontario Human Rights
To Hold Public Meetings
Mary Cornish, chairman of the Ontario Human Rights
Cade Review Task Force and Task Farce numbers Rick
Miles and Rama Omidvar. have released an issues paper to
launch public duscu�ssions on how the present system of en-
forcing human rights can be made more effective.
"The Human Rights Code is one of the most important
Haws in the province." said Mary Cornish, "but any right is
only as good as the strength of its enforcement. we unite
all those who care about human rights to work together
with us to fend a system that is practical and fair, and ad-
vances the protection of human rights in Ontario..'
During April. the uxlependdent Task Force established by
the Ontario Government will bold public meetings in six
cities across the province and will report to the Minister of
Citizenship with fundings and recommendations by June
3Dth. The government will then consider the recommenda-
tions and make changes to the Code.
A separate consultation will be held with First Nations
across the province.
Location meetings will be held on Apr. 22nd at the Ontario
Institute for Studies in Education, 252 Bloor St. W., Suite
4-420. Toronto and on Apr. 30th at the Howard Johson Hotel,

Lowly Mushroom The Way For Ontario's Waste Disposal Problems
The lowly mushroom
,may be pointing the way to
a solution for Ontario's
waste disposal problems.
,According to a study con-
ducted by Rutgers Univer-
sity, the same composting
techniques used to make a
medium for mushroom
growth could be used as an
alternate method of
municipal waste disposal.
The study cites the
generic, enclosed,
automated tunnel com-
posting systems used in
mushroom farming as
"technically mature" and
"distinctly superior„ to the
Composting system designs
arising from the waste
management industry.
Tunnel systems use a
Computer to control air
flow, oxygen content,
moisture level and
temperature within a free-
standing enclosure, or
"tunnel". The controlled
air flow results in a
minimum amount of oder
being released into the at-
mosphere from the pro -
Cess, albwiag facilities to
be placed closer to the
municipalities, thereby
reducing transportation
Costs.
Thomas Thomas is the
President of Double T
Equipment Manufacturing
Ltd. in Airdrpe, Alberta;

manufacturers cited in the
study. Thomas says,

systems for 10 years. We

Our children are called the future. They come

they are taught to distrust and. sometimes, even
. to hate. Racists are made, not born.
' Parents can teach their children to understand
the value of compassion, respect and
understanding of others. Or, they can sow the
" seeds of intolerance, bigotry and cruelty — the
•� things that divide a society and keep us apart
Racism exists in many forms and can be
found everywhere in Canada March 21 is the
International Day for the Elimination of Racial
~ Discrimination. And it is Canada's Anti -Racism
Day, a time for us all to join the fight against
inequality.
Let's work together with our families and
friends to break down the barriers that divide
us. Let's set an example for our children and
help create a world free of prejudice and
Let's bring back the hope of a better tomorrow

justice challenged by street
smarts. Two young men
driving through the

They are defended by the

term that refers to an ac-
tor's reaction, usually
facial, to an event or hap-
pening. A skilled actor can
do it with relative ease on
stage. It takes an expert,
though, to do a good take in
a motion picture. That's
because the action is not
filmed in sequence. Neither
is it filmed in other than
disjointed segments.
My Cousin Vinny is vir-
tually dominated by the
superb takes of Fred
Gwynn and Lane Smith.
The former has long
since shed his Car 54 and
Munster image. Looking
impossibly like William
Randolph Hearst and,
punctuating them with a
genuine Southern accent,
be delivers quite the most
effective takes we've seen
in many a moon. He is also
a quintessential Southern
trial judge.
Lane Smith is the state
attorney. He is smooth, ur-
bane and a joy to watch as
a competent lawyer. He is
also hilarious when his
case starts to fall to pieces.
His takes are not quick but
smooth. Saying nothing he

Ontario Place has an-
nounced that one of the
feature films during the
final fortnight of the GM
Film Festival will be Star
Trek VI:Tbe Undiscovered
Country. It will rum from
Mar. 25-28 and Apr. 1-4.
Some trekkies have com-
plained that the large
screen versions of Star
Trek have abandoned the
philosophical aspects of the
early television series in
favour of the spectacular.
That's as it might be. All
we will say is that if one is
looking for spectacular
film effects, there is no bet-
ter place to find them than
at Cinesphere.
ON TV:
We attended the recent
media launch of Global's
new series Missing
Treasures. It airs on Satur-
day evenings and the first
will be seen Mar. 21st, the
first day of Spring. That's
singularly if perhaps ac-
cidentally, significant
given the subject matter of
the series.
Missing Treasures is
directed toward the
recovery of missing
children, the treasures of
everyone.
If ever any show could be
described as Must viewing,
this one most certainly is.
(And, to hell with possibly
imperfect syntax!)
Everyone -everyone! -
should watch this show.
Everyone must do every

ANNIVERSARV:
The guilkitine wasn't in-
vented in France and
wasn't called that original-
ly.
A similar device had
been in use in Italy for cen-
turies before a certain Dr.
Louis adapted it for
France. At first it was call-
ed a Iouison or Lousiette
)ah, ces frangais! ).
On Mar. 20th, 1792,
however. a humanitarian
named Dr. Joseph Igriam
Guillotin managed to have
the National Assembly
adopt the device as a
universal replacement for
ender methods of execu-
tion. The first mechanical
decapitation toot place on
Apr. 25th of that year. The
victim was not a political
figure: he was a common
bandit named Pellissier.
In 1814, the year in which
the well intentioned doctor
died, his family officially
changed its name so that
there would no longer be
any connection with the in-
strument of death.

..Education. . .has pro-

Those words were writ-

Trevelyan who lived from

writer is concerned, educa-

produced a vast population

alone distinguish worth in
literature.
We recently spoke with a
pretty young lady who was

In Toronto, $25.8 million
will be spent primarily on
atmospheric research in
Canada. Scientists will im-
prove their ability to
measure and track air-
borne pollutants. New
laser -based equipment -
the first of its kind in
Canada - will measure tox-
ic chemicals and smog in
the atmosphere. A state-of-
the-art laboratory will be
constructed to analyze at-
mospheric trace elements.
Twenty-one scientists and
technicians will be added to
existing staff.
The primary objective of
this initiative is to refur-
bish national scientific
facilities used by Environ-
ment Canada and its
university, private sector
and provincial government
partners. In Toronto, for
example, co-operative ven-
tures with York University,
the University of Toronto,
and the Ontario Ministry of
Environment will be under-
taken, to co-ordinate a wide
range of research on en-
vironmental issues.
The $25.8 million goes to
the Atmospheric Environ-
ment Service in
Downsview.
Projects include measur-
ing and tracking airborne
pollutants. New laser -
based equipment - the first
of its kind in Canada - will
measure toxic chemicals
and smog in the at-
mosphere. A state-of-the-
art laboratory will also be
constructed to analyze at-

with the 70% lifetime best
performances of our swim-
mers at Nationals this
winter. We must now focus
on the Olympic Trials
which take place in Mon-
treal, in mid May. These
trials will be a very impor-

Toronto -St. Catharines High Speed Ferry
A joint study involving
the Toronto Harbour Com-
mission ( THC ) has reveal-
ed that a high-speed ferry
service between St.
Catharines and Toronto is
ecouoen. illy feasible and
may one day be a reality.
During the summer of
1990. a regularly scheduled
hydrofoil service operated
between Niagara -on -the -
Lake and downtown Toron-
to on Lake Ontario. The
service was popular with
shoppers and tourists, but
was discontinued for
reasons unrelated to
market demand.
In November, 1990,
Wavetrain Inc., a Canadian
corporation whose mission
is to pursue creative sob -
tions to the combined pro-
blems of transportation
and high-cost housing
throughout the Greater
Toronto area, entered into
an agreement with the On-
tano Ministry of Transpor-
tation to investigate the
viability of a high-speed
ferry service for com-
muters from one or more
ports on Lake Ontario to
downtown Toronto. The
THC, which had initiated a
similar study of its own,
later joined the project.
"Lake Ontario offers
considerable transporta-
tion potential that can be
tapped to bring substantial
benefits to the travelling

customers on vacation

public• and to Ontario's
economy and
environment. says Phase
I of the study which was
released recently.
The Phase I study ex-
amined such issues as the
suitability of several har-
bour sites to the east and
west of Metropolitan
Toronto an Lake Ontario.
the suitability of different
types of existing high-
speed passenger vessels
for operation an Lake On-
tario: the reaction of com-
muters in three target
areas to the concept of
waterborne transportation
service to Toronto: and the
number of existing and
future commuters ex-
pected to use the water-
borne commuter service.
Based on the analysis
conducted by the various
consultants. some conclu-
sions were made.
There are currently
several harbours that could
accommodate a ferry ser-
vice. However• no existing
location is equally suitable
both for commutes and for
occasional users or
tourists.
The Lakeshore West cor-
ridor (Hamilton -downtown
Toronto) offers the best op-
portunity for a high-speed
ferry providing commuter
service. However, a fre-
quent, fast and reliable rail
service exists on this route.
A cross -lake high-speed
ferry service could be
viable if sufficient numbers
of Toronto commuters
move to St. Catharines or if
the non -commuter market
such as tourists, shoppers
and occasional users is
captured.
The idea of a high-speed
ferry to downtown Toronto
was favourably received
by current commuters,
particularly those residing
in the St. Catharines area.
Their major concerns were
safety, reliability and the
efficiency of the Toronto

MUSHROOM AND ANISE SALAD
from Ottawa
wm Rene Soetens, MA
P.
A strengthened commitment to assisting families with
children. That is the main thrust of the new child tax benefit
proposed by the federal government in February's budget.
Due to take effect in January 1993, the child benefit will be
delivered monthly and promises to be a more streamlined,
responsive and better -targeted program. Lower-income
families with one child will receive a monthly payment of
up to $144, significantly more than the $35 they now receive.
Approximately two million families with incomes below
$50,000 will receive larger monthly payments than they do
now.
Since the introduction of Family Allowances in 1945,
assistance to children has become a vital part of Canada's
overall social commitment. A child tax deduction was add-
ed in 1947. The refundable child tax credit was introduced in
1979 to increase assistance to families with low and modest
incomes.
But shortcomings have appeared in this patchwork
systemover the years, and Canadians have asked for
change- Improvements to the child benefit system have ben
urged by two parliamentary committees, non-
governmental social policy groups, and many individuals.
The major faults that they pointed to in the current system
include inadequate support for low-income families, and
the inconvenient patchwork that is characteristic in the
delivery of benefits.
Under the new enriched child benefit package, mothers
are paid monthly for children under the age of 18. It is
targeted to low and middle income families, especially
families with incomes lower than $70,000. The greatest
benefits will be received by those who need it most -
families with incomes in the $10,000-$20.000 range. Benefits
will be phased out at $Ei.000 for families with one and two
children, and higher for larger families. The new system
maintains benefits that are higher, including a $213 bonus
for children carder 7, and also targets larger families.
Moreover. unlike the old system, the new benefits will not
be taxed.
Here's an example of the new system, as compared to the
existing family allowance system. Take a family with three
children, indudi g one under the age of 7. Let's say that
their family income is $35,000. Under the aid system, they
receive $105 every month in child benefits. Under the new
assistance program, the befit is $241 every month Phu
ject this over a year, and the benefit is $1280 versus $2M2
with the new system.
This new approach will unify allowances, credits, and
refunds into a single monthly benefit. This will eliaiiaate
the confusing piecemeal approach that is used in ad-
ministering the cum -at benefits. The end result will be a
child care system that administers benefits more fairly.
