Co - chairpersons of Education Week, attended the board mea . to advise trustees of the many pians under- way for the week of Apr. Ti to May 1, 1992 Jenifer Cor- mier noted that over lo.oll0 elementary students were scheduled to take part in specific activities, not just school -wide activities, to celebrate Education Week. She introduced the members of the Glen Dhu P.S. Jazz Choir who per- formed two popular selec- tions under the direction of teacher Robin Lea. The students were applauded by the board for their talent and enthusiasm and wished success in the upcoming Kiwanis Festival. Pickering Council Notes Council has waives the normal rental fee for use of the Pickering Recreation Complex concrete floor surface at the Recreation Complex on Apr. 25th. for an annual fundraising dance sponsored by the Bay Ridges Hockey Tour- nament in support of the Children's wish Founda- tion. The Town of Pickering will pay Valerian In- vestments Inc. the amount of :40,173.73 toward the cost of storm sewers con- structed on Twyn Rivers Drive. Karen Sheppard distributed information to trustees on the events that wW take place thmughiout the week ung malls. She also outlined the types of in -school ac- tivities in which secondary students will participate. Education officer Mike Peleschak closed the presentation by issuing a personal invitation to each trustee to join parents and community members in visiting their local schools and taking part in some of the exciting things that have been organized to celebrate Education Week in Durham Board of Education schools. System Plan Approved. Trustees approved the System Plan for 1992-94. They expressed en- thusiasm for the process by which staff members from across the system par- ticipated in both the review of the last system plan and the review of the draft pian which was distributed in early February throughout Durham schools and of- fices. The new plan will be in- troduced to formal and in- formal leaders in the system at a special launch to be held Mon. Apr. 6 and Tues. Apr. 7, 1992 at the new Pine Ridge S.S., Liver- pool Road North, Picker- ing. Each of the mornings will begin with coffee (please bring your own cof- fee mug: ) at 8:30 a.m. and the presentation at 9 a.m. Guest speaker will be Phillip Schlechty, author of Schools for the 21st Cen- tury. All schools and offices throughout the Durham Board will be introduced to the new System Plan through in-service sessions to be held in the weeks following the April launch. All staff members will be invited to participate in the implementation of the plan - Committee Structure Trustees voted in favour of amending the structure of the Ethnocultural Ad- visory Committee to in- chide the Multicultural and Race Relations Consultant and an English as a Second Language teacher and that two positions for Members - at -Large be added as re- quired. The changes will better reflect the broad- based nature of the com- mittee. Challenges The Future Ruth Grier, Minister responsible for the Office for the Greater Toronto Area ( OCTA ), has released a brief 'Overview' of a report entitled "GTA 2o21 - The Challenge of Our Future" at an innovative all -day workshop in the Durham region high school - O'Neill Collegiate and Vocational Institute. Speaking to a class of grade 10 geography students. Minister Grier .,rved young people to ..get : r., owed in creating the kind of place in which we all want to live. .'You are the future - you can help us plan for the cars to come," the Minster said. The 'Overview' sum- marizes a full report released earlier this month. It outlines the choices people of the GTA must if they are to meet the echallenges posed by the rapid population growth expected in the next thirty years. The 'Over- view' will be used to invite comment especially from community groups, ratepayer associations, and young people in the GTA who have the most to gain by taking part in shap. ing the region's future. The students went through a process which helped them envision their awn concept of a healthy community. Then, rasing a computer software package called ..Simcity'. the students designed their own ideal city using the principles which were outlined in the 'Overview' A similar program will be offered to all school boards in the GTA. Copies of the 'Overview' are available from the OGTA. Pickering Library Asking For Ideas On Collections Pickerin6 Public Library staff will soon be asking your opinion on the collec- tions at the Central Library and Rouge Hill Branch. The library is in the final hunting prase of a multi year project to build a resource collection. Faced with soaring use and lower than requested budget allocations for materials, the board is eager to ensure its final collection -building budget from Council is spent on the most pressing subject Deeds of library users. Board chairman David Farr is delighted with the use being made of the popular Central Library. but notes that restricted budgets have made the final stages of collection building difficult. "our dilemma is to rind a balance between burng popular items and making sure that students in our schools. business people and other residents have the resources they need for educational and economic development," be said may. Staff will survey users in early April on whether or not they found the material they needed whether it was appropriate and how long they waited to gat it. Rouge hfrll Branch users will be surveyed as well as those in the Central Library since cohsiiderable effort has recently gone in- to improving the Rouge Bill collection for corn - mu nity use. Other bran- ches will be surveyed at a later point.

April S, 1992 Opinion a page for expression for you and us All For Quebec by Bob Watson We must compliment Don Valley East MP Alan Redway for speaking out about the Progressive Conservative government's closing of a Canadian Forces Supply Depot on Sheppard Ave. W. in Downsview by the end of 1995 with the loss of 300 jobs. And, of course, a $100 million supply depot will be built in Montreal creating 70 new jobs and protecting 380 existing jobs according to Defence Minister Marcel Masse. Redway said that it was time for Metro cabinet ministers to show some effectiveness and get some programs :n place to help Metro Toronto through this rough time. The Tory MP added that a lot of people in Toronto are beginning to raise questions about the effectiveness of Metro cabinet ministers. Marcel Masse told Redw•ay in the House of Commons that this move was necessary to consolidate the weapons facilities and it would save $35 million. We would like to praise Alan Redway. He is one M.P. who stands up for what he believes and he is unhappy that Quebec seems to get more than its share of federal generosity. it would be nice to have more Tory MPs stating their views and less "yes sir three bags full" to their obviously biased leader. Brian Mulroney. Thank You Dear Sir or Madam: On behalf of The War Amputations of Canada. I would like to thank you for your kind mention of oto new ski film "Take Offs and Landings-'. We have received many favourable comments about the film. %inch features young skiers. all members of ora Guild Amputee ( CHAMP) Program. having fun and passing on important messages such as "ski safe". The film has been distributed to cable stations across Canada. If viewers have not seen it and would like to, they should call their local cable station to request it. Thank you again for telling your readers about our new film. Sincerely Darnta Chisholm Director of Media Relation, Our Economic Future Dear Sir Madam: O nunans concerned about the ecoramuc future of this province should take note. In a few short weeks Premier Bob Rat will be deciding the fate of his proposed radical changes to labour laws. Laws which will make this province's businesses vulnerable to the powers of big unions. That's why pressure must be brought to bear on the Rae government right now. Oknta tans have got to let him know that these laws, if enacted, will kill jobs and investment and damage the province's economy even further. Certainly, at this time of recession. the last thing our government should be doing is creating an anti business climate. Yet these tabour amendments, in effect, are telling businesses and investors: ..Stay out of Ontario. we don't want you here". Accordingly. we are urging all Ontarians who want to save jobs to immediately contact their MPPs and let them know that these irresponsible laws must be junked. After all, the Premier should represent all the people and not just powerful big union leaders. Yours truly. Colin Bro%r, President. O ntarians For Responsible Government You Feel Canadian....

February 28, 1992, the Scarborough Board of Education was reported to have withdrawn its membership in the Ontario Public School Boards' Associa- tion. Presumably this was not a full meeting of the board• because now we find that there will be another vote. This seems much like the "Let's keep voting until we get it right," syndrome. The question is, "Until who gets it right?" I realize that when the next vote is taken, some of you may have been influenced to change your opinion. My understanding is that there should be a two-thirds majority to change the decision. I have the financial statement of the OPSBA and the 1991-92 report and am not impressed. The glitzy, glossy folder which came with it reminded me of the hard -sell method used by some commercial firms. It did not enlighten me. Fast Reports contained nothing worthwhile or substantial. OPSBA has accomplished little of significance in the past three years, yet during that time. Scarborough's fee has in- creased from $45.1100+ to $95,000+ and this year to $113,000+. it may not seem like much money, but projec- tions show greatly increased costs. I find this to be scan- dalous and irresponsible, because there is nothing to show for it. We pay more than enough for our school system, yet our students do very poorly in international and national testing. This is a tribute to the self-indulgence of our educators and the system of education. If not, then tell my why Ontario rates as it does. We are the laughing stock of the world. it seems. but. boy. are we organized! Nothing has been accomplished in critical areas such as French -English funding, state -and -church funding, the im- pact of immigration. ESL, the absence of Canadian history or the obscene bargaining with teaching staff. And nothing will be accomplished by banding together through a self- centered organization winch purports to be an absolute necessity. but which has accomplished nothing more than arrange seminars. write policy resolutions and organize conventions. Special courses for trustees? - don't make me laugh! "Just get the job and we'll show you what a real trustee should know and do," seems a little too late, but pro- vides work. I could go on and on. but I won't. When I was fared to become a member of the CEW U (Canadian Education Workers' Union! ) and then asked for a rnmincW statement, my request was met with disbelief - who would dare ask for such a thing' I finally got one and was astonished to find that well over 50% of the union dues went to the parent union, which put out a glossy folder outlining its accompiistunents: almost all of the items touted were political! And I had been led to believe that the Union was for the poor down -trodden teachers. Silly me' Teacher rations. milertiveh•. form the most powerful group Here and There Buyer's Market Conditions Prevail For Recrea- tional Properties Buyer's markets continue to prevail in most Ontario com- munities as a result of economic uncertainty• according to the Royal LePage Spring 19M Town and Country Surrey. "Ibwever. there are some positive factors on the horizon." says Sue Cumiberland, Town and Country Proper- ties Manager " We did experience an increase in activity in late December that carried over into the new year. With low interest rates. affordably-pric-ed properties, and a good selection of listings available for sale, we anticipate activi- ty will continue to build during the spring market." Good Nevus For Fit Moms -To -6e Pregnant women who are aerobically fit spend less time in the labour room than their urMt counterparts, reports the Reebok information Bureau. According to a study publish- ed in the International Journal of Sports Medicine, women Who were CLVMifred as trained and fit experienced shorter periods of active tabour than women who were untrained Although no difference was noted in the length of the gestational period or amount of weight gained, the study found that the trained group of mothers spent an average of two tours and rune minutes less time in active labor than the untrained mothers. Exercise Dropouts Lose Fitness Fast Keep on pumpin' because once you are fit, a long break from exercise causes a quick break down in fitness, cau- tions the Reebok Information Bureau. Self magazine reports that it takes twice as long to get in shape as it does to lose fitness. On average, a sendentary woman will become fit after four to six months of regular exercise. That means working out aerobically for 2D minutes a day, three to five times a week. But a fit woman will become out of shape in only two to three months of not exercising. Moreover, an exercise dropout is likely to gain fat and lose lean tissue if she hasn't reduced her caloric intake. in Ontario and the insatiable demands will never be curtail- ed unless drastic action is taken. Of course, we could con- tinue in the Canadian Way and talk the problem to death, but several generations later our standards will be even lower. Mickey Mouse courses will fill the curriculum and we will be baby-sitting and feeding everyone. Organizational whiz kids conspire to bring similar groups together and with smoke and mirrors lead them to believe that what the groups are doing has great effect - but pro- viding diversion and going around in circles is really the name of the game. Why is the Tuesday. June 23 Metro Toronto Child Care Cosnultation session to be conducted in French (Fast Reports, Vol. 4 No. 8►? Pure show-off cosmetics. Unreasonable - and no questions asked? If you have read the package you will know what I'm talking about and I ask you to consider carefully what you could be getting us into. If you haven't read it, then what's the point of membership? Make-work projects are easy to dream up and easier to start. Chasing shadows instead of the substance is not very bright, but it certainly keeps us busy, doesn't it? I feel that OPSBA is powerless, has no clout and keeps everyone spinning wheels, attending conventions and seminars ad infinitum. Your vote may have a profoundly depressing effect on the students and our education system in the long term. A provincial department of education should be respon- sive, responsible and accountable. Agreed. We know we don't have this, but "banding together" in the present man- ner %rill not change that - heading off in all directions will clearly result in more committees, boards and off -shoots: guaranteed employment gimmicks of which we already have more than we need. Only political action will make a change for the better - and that. I am sure, is what you fear most. Look to Alberta's system as a starting point and consider ways of changing our system back to what we once had. Please don't tell me we can't go back. We must be able to, because the way we are going raw is wrong and I'm sure you agree. We once had one of the finest education systems in the world until the Hall -Dennison Report screwed things UP - Think about what is happening by the piling of laver upon Layer of useless bureaucracy with no clear idea of what direction we should be heading. The future of Scarborough students and their education is presently in your hands. Yours truly. W. Bolt 14 Ravencliff Cres. Agincourt From statistics Canada Pre -Retirement: A Profile Of People Aged 55 - 64 In 1990, this group made up 8.9% of total population. 79% were miarried. 9% %ere widowed. 6% divorced. 6% never married. 91% raised children and in most cases these children no longer live at home After age 55. death rates rise sharply. The rates actually exceed the level for the population overall. They tend to have less formal education than younger people. A considerable amount of the free time that 5581 year olds gain when they retire is claimed by the mass media. especially television. This age group is the miost avid shoppers in Canada. On average, ai6i year old women shop about nine hours a week. while men in this age group spend almost six tours a week. On per capita basis, no age group takes more interna- tional trips. Here and There Cycling Gets Runners Up to Speed. Women runners who take time off from training might want to do some cycling or Step Reebok exercises before starting to run again, advises the Reebok information Bureau. According to Letha Hunter -Griffin, MD, an in- structor at the Emory University School of Medicine, a woman runner who gains 5 or 10 pounds during a training break is likely to have knee pain when she resumes train- ing. Bicycling and Step Reebok will help strengthen the muscles around the knee and help the runner lose weight before she begins to run again. r------------------------------------------- Give A Gift That Lasts All Year!

April 8, 1l92 Bill Watt's Worlds ART SEEN: ONE Definition: Among the many definitions of art is this one; skill applied to the imitation and design of the world around us. For us, it's not a long stretch to ap- ply that definition to animation. Party Scene: For whatever reason, during World War Two, American comic books were not available in Canada. Canadian publishers, alert to profit, published their own. They were in black and white because colour processing and the concommitant inks were unobtainable. There was all kinds of booze. even with rationing, but no col- oured ink. Go figure. Among the comics were Active. Commando and Triumph. Comic characters included Whiz Wallace. Darti ner ) Dar- ing. The Brain, Scotty McDonald and Johnny Canuck. The best was Triumph. We had the first issue of it: if we still had it, we could retire now on the proceeds from its sale. The two prin- cipal characters were Spanner Preston, an R.C.A.F. (or possibly R.A.F., it was still early in the war) pilot and. . .Nehana of the North. a god -like creature descend- ed from the ,Northern I.Aghts accompanied by an Arctic wolf (animal varie- ty ) . The writer and il- lustrator of the latter was Adrian Dingle who, in spite of the laughable name. went on to become ane of the leading Canadian painters. Somehow. Nelvana came to be the corporate name from what has become the leading Canadian anima- tion facility. Nelvana, the animating firm, is now 20 years old and we were at Harbourfront's Queen's Quay Terminal for the start of the celebration which runs through to Apr. 12th. We've mentioned before about the many events and attractions for children, all of them free. We're going to suggest though, that the biggest pleasure is for adults watching the little ones as they are entranced by the Care Bears, Beetle - juice and the many other characters created by Nelvana. Even if you don't have children, you can en- joy the show but the pleasure is doubled with lit- tle ones along. There seems to be something about the com- pany of children that br- ings out the youth in one's self. Among the many nosher delights were cajan shrimp on devilled eggs. satav chicken and a thin crust pizza from, we believe. the region of Bari. Yet, what we enjoyed the most -and, don't dismiss us from the Gourmet Society for the admission confession -were the peanut butter and banana pinwheels. Now, what ever did we do with that Triumph comic book' ART SEEN: TR'O Art of a rather more con- ventional nature -if such an adjective is indeed. proper - is, like gold where one finds it.

ESOTERJCA : Chamber Concerts Canada begins its second season of Sunday Stage events this Sunday with Mixed Media No.1 featur- ing works from the avant garde of the 1900x. The everting will begin at 8 with the world premiere of the Felix Mirbt staging of Lorna's Tragicomedy of Don Cristobal and Senorita Rosita with a new musical score composed and per- formed by members of Nexis. Also on the pro- gram is Salvadore Dali's and Luis Buneul's sur- realistic film Un Chien An- dalou i Andalusian Dog). Duo pianists Anagnoson and Kinton will perform the original concert ver- sions of Milhauid's Le Bouef sur le Toit and Satie's Parade. Our release states that those piano pieces were in- spired by the bars and cabarets of Paris in the 1920s. That might be so of the latter but the former was definitely inspired by the films of Charles Chaplin. In fact, Milhaud would have liked to have the work used as a score in a film by the master. The performance site is the DuMaurier Theatre Centre at Harbourfront. Tickets are now on sale for The Alchemical Theatre of Hermes Trismegistos which is presented in association with the duMaurier World Stage Festival. Hermes etc is the work that will be presented each evening at Union Station from midnight to 2 a.m. It is said to provide "au- diences the opportunity to witness and experience the alchemical process --the search for a chemical mar- riage that will produce the Toronto's Best Join Hunger Fight On Sun.

The re- maining 20 percent will go to S.O.S. for distribution to international hunger relief agencies. "Hunger and food waste are two of Toronto's most pressing problems." says Trish Bongard Godfrey. ex- ecutive director of Second Harvest. "Second Harvest addresses both these pro- blems with its straightfor- ward and efficient food recovery program." con- tinues Bongard Godfrey. " Ibe proceeds from last year's Taste of the Nation. Toronto helped us put a third truck on the road, and that means we will be able to pick up an additional 250,000 pounds of food this year ..

ENTERPRISE : TWO Meanwhile, on the other side of the world, Hong Kong's hotels which are already renowned throughout the world for exemplary standards of service are improving and upgrading their already ex- cdlent facilities. There isn't space here to list all the improvements in all the hotels but here are a couple of examples. The Mandarin Oriental has lavishly refurbished both its Pierrot restaurant and the Harlequin Bar at a cost of $5 million i HK ) . The penthouse lobby -that's lob- by of the penthouse ! -has been redecorated with black marble flooring in- laid with gold. The Metropole has open- ed its The Bistro featuring Southern Californian style cooking. Chuckle if you must over the idea of U.S. cooking in a restaurant with a French name but ap- plaud the thought behind it. Californian cooking (among our favourite cuisine) in The Bistro of The Metropole in Hong Kong ... that too, is enter- prise. Laudable enter- prise!

To be fair Mr. Thompson was no Chandler or Ham- mett but, to be equally fair, he never aspired to be. He simply wrote vox pop thrillers. Lou Ford is the deputy sheriff of a small town in Texas in the 1950s. He seems a little slow, a little ponderous but fundamen- tally decent. He is ... except for "the sickness" that dwells within him, a sickness that when trig- gered brings out homicidal violence. The denouement is a lit- tle too early evident but, taken all in all, The Killer Inside Me is a good, tough read and well recommend- ed.

Instead of finding a shortcut to China or India, he first landed in the New World on the Bahamian Island of San Salvador in 1492. Today, after establishing more than 100 resort villages around the world, Club Med has rediscovered this timeless island, little changed since that eventful landing. Currently under construction is a luxury Club Med village named Coluanbus We. "Columbus Isle offers couples and single vaca- tioners a relaxed, unstruc- tured and elegant vacation style," said Jean -Luc Oizan-Chapon, Chief Operating Officer, Club Med, Inc. in describing the village for the audience. "As the latest in our worldwide network of villages, we have adapted to the changing needs of the 9D's vacationers by focus- ing on more comfort, more amenities and a world- class beach and sea set- ting. This is the place for people who wart a total break from urban life, but don't have time to travel great distances... The new dub village will open in October 199¢, to coincide with the festivities surrounding the 500th an- niversary of the fust lan- ding. The village will in- itially accommodate 200 vacationers with several expansions planned for a later date. In Coiurnbus' hatour, the sun, moon and the stars will be the major design elements used in this village. Originally named Guanaham by the native Lucayan Indians, San Salvador is 12 km long (7 miles) and 2D km wide (12 miles). Located m the eastern- most border of the Bahamas Archipelago. 32D km ( 200 miles) from Nassau, the "old Bahamas" is very much alive here with miles of rolling white beach, a clear. unspoiled sea and on- ly one small inn. Nestled along the stores of Bonefish Bay, facing 6 km (3.5 miles) of untouch- ed beach, the village blends comfortably into the en- vironment. Rooms are larger here than at most other villages measuring a full 390 square feet, each with its own balcony or patio overlooking the Caribbean. All are equipped with'I'V and a telephone and offer a choice between two double beds or one king-size. By Christmas 1992, an addi- tional 100 beds will be ready bringing the total oc- cupancy to 300. The club's interior designer, Gisella Trigano, who created the elegant Rio das Pedras ( Brazil ) village and did the renova- tions at Sandpiper (Florida), Phuket (Thailand), and Da Balaia (Portugal), wanted the village to honour Columbus in an unusual way. In addi- tion to creating the sun, moon and stars as a unify- ing theme, she has honoured the global vision of Columbus and other great explorers. International treasures from far away places are being used as distinctive design elements throughout the village. For more than two years, Gisella and a team of 10 young architects have been collecting paintings and ar- tifacts from Africa, India, Sumatra. Thailand, China. Burma, Indonesia, New Guinea.

It heralds a powerful new process to assess the environmental impacts of projects for which the federal government has decision- tnaking authority. Environmental Assessment is nothing new - it has been used as a planning tool in Canada since 1974. Though effec- tive, the current Envirm mental Assessment Review Pro- cess (EARP) guidelines have some problems. For exam- ple, they let the Minister resporsiuble for a project, not the Minister of the Environment, decide if an assessment is needed. These and other problems clearly necessitated the need for new legislation. And that is where the new assess- ment process comes into play. In most cases, an environmental assessment will be re- quired for any project in which the federal government is involved as a sponsor, contributor of funds, permit issuer or land holder. The bill lists the factors that must be con- sidered in an environmental assessment, and details a three-step process: a screening or mandatory sturdy ( with a report). mediation or assessment by a review panel ( with a report), and the design and implementation of a foiow-up program. Also. extensive public input will be sought. Comments from the public must be considered during the screening process. The public will have access to study the reports, and the Minister may refer a project to mediation or review panel if be believes public concern warrants it. A public registry must also be created for every assessed project. Overall. this bill will ensure that a project's environmen- tal impact is carefully ca>sidered before it goes ahead. Allowances for public input ensures that all Canadians will have their views heard when it comes to emimonxntal pro- jects that affect them. As a result, this bill will encourage project managers to promote a healthy envir meat and economy.
