Of Education Notes Board Supports Ward S.. -stem Trustees will request that the City of Oshawa move toward implemen- ting a Ward System for the election of Durham Board of Education trustees in Oshawa. Public school electors in the Nov. 12, 1991 municipal election in- dicated that they would be in favour of this. The Ward System is currently in ef- fect in both Ajax and Pickering. Trustees com- mented that the Ward System would likely mean better representation for individual neighbourhoods because trustees would be elected by them and responsible to them during their term of office. The Ci - PRINTING 683-1968 ty Clerk for Oshawa has in- dicated that the change to a Ward System from the cur- rent practice of electing seven trustees to represent the whole city would not in- volve any cost.

April 15. 199: Opinion a page for expression for you and us Ottawa Please Note by Bob Watson Some of us Canadians are not as naiveabout world affairs as our federal politicians. On a television report on CTV last week demonstrators of the African National Congress ( ANC) were seen (for the first time in Canada) carrying a Large red flag with the hammer and sickle on it' For those of you who don't know, that was the flag of the Soviet Union and for information the KGB of the Soviet Union has been stirring up this large group of Africans against the South African government for many years. But no reporter of ours in South Africa has ever reported or shown this Soviet flag. It is our understanding that part of our federal budget goes to pay Nelson Mandela - the leader of this communist organization - including a sort of embassy in Ottawa and a symbolic consulate in Toronto. We ask the question of Canadian taxpayers. Do you feel that our hard earned tax dollars should go to support a com- munist organization in Africa'. We suggest that our Prime Minister take away the sanc- tions against South Africa as they are causing a worst life economically for black South Africans more than whites in that country. And let's keep our nose out of other country's politics' Letter To The Editor Why Quebec Must Not Get Distinct Society Status The Quebec Superior Court. the Quebec Cart of Appeal. and the Supreme Court of Canada have all ruled that the Quebec Government. in impierImi ing Bill 178 (the nothing- but-Prench sign law), has violated human rights guaranteed under provincial all federal Garters - Bill 178 violates the right to freedom of expression. The United Na - Wins' Human Rights Committee has also found Quebec's language legislation repre!>�sibie and has placed Canada under irldlctInett for violating UPJ human rights reWu- tams. Canada was given until Dec. 15, 19M to respond to the Cornmtttee s charges. the Canadian Government his yet to do so. The Quebec Government legally circumvented the Supreme Court of Canada's rLd gg by nwoking the "not - ,withstanding" clause of Canada's 1982 Constitutional Amendment. After doing so. Premia Bourassa made an announcement. in effect, be said that if Quebec had previously been recognized in Canada's constitution as a distinct society-' then the Supreme Court would not have rendered such a ruling because distinct society status would have given his government a free hand to preserve and promote the French language and culture as the Government saw fit. The Quebec Government can only hide behind the "not- withstanding.' clause for about two more years - the clause has effect for only 5 years after being invoked. Unless Quebec attains distinct society status before 1991 its Government will have to invoke the clause again or face more court challenges. - .it is to avoid such an eventuality, and be free to impose other repressive measures on its minorities. that Quebec insists so adamantly on being Coo- stir twnally recognized as a distinct society. Quebec's language legislation has created three classes of citimers in our country: 3rd Class - all Quebecers who are denied freedom of expression in their language of choice, particularly so in English. Canada's major official language; 2nd Class - French-speaking Quebecers who are denied freedom to learn and freely use Canada's major of- ficial language. English, which also happens to be the No. i Language of the world; est Class - Canadians outside of Quebec who are free to use any language they wish. Granting Quebec distinct society status would be tanta- mount to condoning and authorizing current and, probably, future human rights violations. If you believe, as I do. that such an eventuality would be totally unacceptable, then I urge you to denounce. in the strongest way possible, those eager to grant Quebec distinct society status and thus make a mockery of the Canadian people's Constitution.

Apr. 12 - 18 has been designated as National Citizenship Week. For seven consecutive days, Canadians are en- couraged to reflect upon what it means to be a Canadian and to celebrate our citizenship in this truly great nation - Canada. As a Member of Parliament, I have the good fortune to meet with Canadians of diverse and fascinating backgrounds. Many have chosen Canada as their new home, leaving behind countries ruled by oppressive, often inhumane, regimes. They have come to Canada knowing that in this country all individuals are guaranteed equal op- portunities and rights. In Canada, they know every citizen has the opportunity to build a better future in a nation bless- ed with vast natural resources, rich agricultural land and excellent educational facilities. Throughout this week, take a few moments to feel pride in being a Canadian citizen. Think about becoming a volunteer and teaching English as a Second Language to re- cent immigrants. Learn all you can about Canada and how you can exercise your right as a Canadian to vote in municipal, provincial and federal elections. Or find out about recycling and eonservaton programs which will help preserve the beauty of this great nation. Remember that Canada belongs to every Canadian citizen, regardless of race. religion or personal beliefs and that the actions which we take today shape the Canada of tomorrow. Realizing this, let's work together as Canadian citizens to build an even better Canada - a Canada which nur children will be proud to call home Here and There House Prices Soft, Despite Surge in Sales The surge in hone buying activity in recent weeks has not yet stopped the erosion of house prices. according to the most recent Royal LePage house price survey. '*There has been a significant increase in the number of hones listed for sale in the past few months,.. says Bernie Vogt. Senior Vice President for Royal LePage in Toronto. "There are now over 30,000 listings on the market. When buyers have that many properties from which to chose. there's no upward pressure on prices. It's still a buyers' market. ' According to the Spring 1982 issue of the Royal LePage ..Survey of Canadian Haase Prices". the median price of a three-bedroom bungalow in the Toronto area has slipped another 52,500 since January. to $192.500. Proclaims April As New Homes !Month The Hon. Elmer MacKay. Minister responsible for Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation XMHC), has proclaimed April as New Horses Month. New Homes Month. which is organized by the Canadian Hoche Builders' Association, will highlight innovations in the housing industry. Seminars and other events will pro- vide home -buyers with an opportunity to learn about the Latest design and construction techauiques. From Statistics Canada Adult Litermev in Canada 62% of Canadians can meet everyday reading needs: however, 2.9 million adults cannot deal with most everyday written material because of inadequate reading skills. Reading skills are highest in western Canada. Secondary school completion is a key factor in literacy skills. as 70% of secondary, school graduates have the reading skills to meet everyday demands. Canadians over 45 years of age tend to have wreaker reading skills than younger Canadians. School Leavers Sunev When asked to focus on the most important reason for leaving school, slightly over one in five students reported that they preferred working to attending classes, and almost the same number reported being ..bored' Approximately one of every two youths reported they were not happy that they had left school before completing their high school education. Estimates based on responses from 20 -year old youths in April 1991 indicate that nearly 24% of such students had left school at some time during their school career. Travel -Log - Older Canadians Older adults (55 plus) took 17% of all trips in 1990, travel to U.K. jumped 113%, European destinations to over 173% from 19W to 1989, the number of older Canadians taking a cruise more than tripled. Clearly medical, therapeutic, cultural and sport activities will be directed to older Cana- dians. Special niche trips such as grandparent 'children may be popular in future. By age 75 plus participation drops to 39%; however, this group maintains their domestic travel participation. ��aaaa�aaa—aa--aa—aa -------------------- Give ---a—azar----aaa--■Give A Gift That Lasts All Year!

Staff of Stephen Chait Consultants Ltd. on "social infrastructure of an Ex- panded City Centre" have been directed to work with the various boards, agen- cies, landowners and in- terest groups within the ex- panding city centre to im- plement the intent of these recommendations. The area of concern focusses on and im- mediately surrounding the Scarborough City Centre, including the Progress In- dustrial District. Currently 1000office employees and 3000 retail employees work in the city centre. The city centre secon- dary pian currently en- visages 8,000-10.000 dwell- ing units and 40.000 jobs be- ing created here with possi- ble expansion to 17,000 dwelling units and 50.000 jobs. The geographical ext boundaries of ram project Kennedy Rd. and Highway 4ol to Ellesmere Rd. Besides Scarborough Town Centre and the Civic Centre, this area is largely industrial. Due to the recession many of the in- dustrial and manufactur- ing companies are closing down or moving out. Therefore the area has potential to be turned into residential and business area. Five or six Tridel condominiums have already been approved for construction in the area. The social infrastructure proposed for the city centre area includes the building of two public elementary school facilities, one located east of the city cen- tre between Ellesmere Rd. and Progress Ave. and a second to the west between Brimley Rd. and Midland Ave. by Progress Ave. Also a separate elemen- tary school facility located west of the city centre is proposed.

(IAO) will help insurance professionals better understand what they can do about the alarming in- crease in criminal activity in Canada. The dramatic rise in crime accounts for a large proportion of the increased underwriting losses that property, casualty insurers are experiencing today. Although the current reces- sion is often cited as the reason for this disturbing trend, rising crime is not a new phenomenon. Today's situation is just a par- ticularly large upswing in a Long -tam trend that has seen crime rates triple over the past 30 years. Combining plenary ses- sions with hands-on IAO's Crime Symposium will feature more than 35 speakers and workshop leaders focusing on crime prevention, loss control, underwriting con- cerns and claims handling. Luncheon speakers are His Honour Judge Derek T. Hogg, Ontario Provincial Court Criminal Division, and Julian Fantino, Chief of Police, London, Ontario.

April 15, 1"2 THE NEWS/POST Page 5 Good Dialogue At 6th. Annual Renaissance Conference The sixth annual Renaissance Conference was held at the Scar- borough Civic Centre last Saturday and participants went to four workshops for discussion and ideas. The workshops had panelists leading the discussion. In the Jobs Workshop, Pierre Cleroux, senior economist for the CF1B, Norman Stewart, vice president of the Ford Motor Company and Frank Faubert, Ward 8 Councillor were the panel. Mr. Cleroux said that with 200,000 jobs last in manufacturing it would be the role of government to work with business to create new avenues of business. He felt that the recession would soon go away but our society was not competitive any more. Mr. Stewart gave his view that we need to decide where we want to go in the next five years and turn on investors. He also em- phasized the need to upgrade the education of the work force. Cou=ncillor Faubert said be felt that government should work with business and the creation of small business would be helpful to the economy. He also mated that if business drop- ped ropped down the tax load would transfer to private rtpocidences. The Health workshop had Dennis Timbrell, President of the Ontario Health Association and Judith Leon, Executive Director of Senior Link on the panel. Mr. Timbrell said that with health care costs ris- ing rapidly too many beds are being used by bog term care patients who could be treated in their homes or other locations. He noted that the govern- ment is not tuning in on shift of long term patients. He added that hospitals are going to move towards smaller systems. Judith Leon said that the British have proved that everone can live longer with the right system. In the Education workshop, panelists Charles Beer, M.P.P. and Liberal Education critic. Jima Turner, V.P. George Brown College and Scar- borough Public School Trustee Pat Collie led a good discussion. Pat Collie expressed her view that the province is looking at pooling commer- cial, industrial taxes and that will send Metro down financially. Metro is in a negative grant situation and the province looks like it is going to take education taxes from Metro. Charles Beer said he would like to see training of laid off workers. The Environment Com- mittee had three panelists including Carm Mc- Clelland, M.P.P. liberal Environment Critic: Joan King, Metro Toronto Works Committee Chairman and Brian Wastle of the Chemical Producers' Association. Participants in the workshops debated a number of issues and found the dialogue really in- teresting. Guest speaker at the con- ference was Ontario Liberal Leader Lyn McLeod who talked to the whole group on a variety of issues affecting everyone. The conference was organized and sponsored by the Scarborough Provin- cial Liberal Riding Associations. Gerry Phillips. H P P St ;- . - 4. �r, _ . Conference the ScarN)rnu-, a kn:(!.

April 15, 1992 Bill Watt's Worlds THEATRE: Canada surrendered its world dominance of ice hockey in, we believe, 1954. It was the year that the East York Lyndhursts ( we're no longer sure of the spelling) represented Canada in the world cham- pionships and were defeated by the Russians. They should never have represented Canada. The Lyndhursts were a mer- cantile team sponsored by an automobile dealership adjacent to the site of what is now the Shopper's World plaza. ( Real old timers will recall when the Nash automobile assembly plant used to be there.) Why were they chosen'. Quite simple. It was thought that no country could ice a better team than Canada. certainly not the Russians. What wasn't appreciated was that the Russians were learning; watching and learning. Soon they could and would defeat the best that the rest of the world could muster. Now the Russians have apparently set their sights on becoming the world leader in the presentation of musical comedy and revue, a prominence long held by the Americans. The fust salvo in this piessant was has been feed with the arrival of Rus- sians on Broadway, play- ing until May 9th at the Mme Hall Theatre. To be honest, Russians an Broadway. in its present form, is somewhat less than satisfactory. Frankly. it appears -appears! - amateurish; sort of a Babes on Broadway starr- ing Mickey Rooneywiehh. It's a tongue in check musical about two Russian emigres deciding to put up their own Broadway show. The trouble is that much of the dialogue and most of the lyrics are delivered in phonetic English and even the most talented cast in the world cannot achieve the necessary insouciance required for a spoof under such circumstances. The set design, while in- tricate, is pretty much church basement; the costuming a hybrid of the old world and the perceived new world. The songs are less than memorable and the small orchestra, augmented by synthesizers fails to achieve the sweep in which broadway pit orchestras excel. And. the sound isn't good though one doesn't know if it's a company system or that of the antiquated Music Hall. So. on balance. Russians on Broadway wouldn't seem to have much going for it. And yet. and yet. if good singing• good dancing and sheer enthusiasm could make a good show. then Russians would surely be a Tony nominee if it ever made it to the real Broad- way. The cast assembled for the show is sheer dynamite and we wish only that each member could be singled at for praise. Igor Vermk and Igor Portnoi (no Portnoi's Corn - plaint from us) are the two young male leads Pasha and Miishha. Both are slim, bright and incredibly talented.

Arguably the greatest strength of Russians is the choreography particularly when it emphasizes the old world. As yet, it hasn't reached the sleekness of a Broadway chaos but no doubt it will. The only deletion that we'd recommend is the rather tasteless Hospital number. It smacks more of Minsky than Minsk. Should Russians on Broadway be given your custom? Of course it should. Even the most Jaundiced will surely opine that it's a worthwhile curiosity. True sophisticates, however, will recognize it a good e%vning's outing and an ex- citing harbinger of better things to come. POTABLES: Well. we trade our way back to Alice Fazooli's again. This time it was a Sunday afternoon and the occasion was the Martini Grand Prix organized by the Bartenders Association of Canada. What a pleasant after- noon it was and how plea- sant to watch about 20 bartenders judged on skill and presentation. The win- ners go on to higher levels of international competi- ticn and the eventual grand prime winner achieves a week at the Oriental Gardens Hotel, probably the finest in the w orki A few things have chang- ed since our days betund the bar at the Tam O' Shanter. Although good bartenders still free pour. they no longer do so at eye level. Elbows are no kager kept parallel to the floor. Granulated sugar is used in an Old Fashioned instead of rock sugar ground in a mortar. One thing remains cons- tant, however; a cheery disposition framing quiet, alert movements. Wat- ching a good bartender do his stuff is a joy. The eventual winner, and we hope we have his name correct, was Dean Clnistophokoca of O'Toole's on Front St. Regular readers of this column will be interested to know that two of the contestants - Wendy Baker and Lorne Jagman work at Stage West. And, though we used Potables as the cut line, we really should mention the excellent Italian and sea food buffet provided by Pazodi's. Those coconut shrimps ... to die!

TODAY'S CHILD by ELIZABETH MARSH Nine-year-old Kurt is described as an endearing, affectionate child with a good sense of humor. His father is a Native Indian, his Caucasian mother died several years ago, and Kurt has been a children's aid society ward for almost four years. Kurt is hyperactive and has a short attention span. He attends a low ratio behavior adjustment class because of behavioral problems, and although he has made some academic progress during the past year, teachers complain that he is sometimes argumentative, noisy and dis- ruptive in class. His worker believes he would benefit greatly if he could move into a regular school system, where there would be more appropri- ate role models than his present classmates. In the past, Kurt's behavior, which may be related to fetal alcohol syndrome, has been controlled by Ritalin, but his foster parents are trying to manage without medication, by channelling his energy into sports such as swimming, street hockey and biking. They are M2 king good progress control- ling his behavior at home, where he has his own chores and takes responsibility for them.

The provincial government has estab- lished a government authority, the Interim Waste Authority (IWA), to find three environmentally -suitable landfills to meet the long-term waste disposal needs of the Greater Toronto Area, which includes the Region of Durham. The search began last August when the IWA released its first document outlining the proposed criteria for the site search. During the public consul- tation period, the IWA received Wide-ranging views and opinions about the planned process. Following public comment, the IWA is now releasing the revised criteria prior to the preparation of any long list of potential landfill sites.

A special guest of honour at the unveiling of the new coin was the coin's designer Beth McEachen. A first year stu- dent at the Ontario College of Art in Toronto, the 19 year old McEachen is a life-long resident of Hanover, Ont. She has long been impressed by the inukshuk and clearly remembers an elementary school geography lesson when she first learned about them. She is understandably proud of her winning entry. "'Reese structures are remarkable and so visually interesting, and I think the coin itself looks fantastic," she said. Wed.

While there may be some debate about the effec- tiveness of mammography in women under age 50, there is very strong evidence of benefit in women aged 50 and older. On the basis of this evidence breast screening programs are being in- troduced across Canada. These programs have the potential of reducing breast cancer deaths by up to 40%. The new Ontario Breast Screening program, funded by the Ministry of Health and supported by the Cana- dian Cancer Society is now available in Metro Toronto.

Serving the Community Since 1950 travel] Montserrat's Eco -Tourism Is Crowned By Oriole A fluttering splash of gold or the sound of a distinctive cry and you may be fortunate enough to spot the Montserrat Oriole. Montserrat's lush greenery, high -peaked mountains, extinct volcanos and mangrove swamp provide the ideal habitat for this rarely found bird and a host of others. A visit to Montserrat's renowned Foxes Bay Bird Sanctuary is a must for bird watchers and hikers alike. Established in 1979 as a pro -active endeavour to maintain the delicate en- vironment, these 15 acres of mangrove swamp are a haven to cattle egrets, herons, kingfishers and many other waterfowl. Two paths form a loop around the sanctuary while signs along the trails iden- tify the more common species. The only testing piece on Montserrat to the Little Blue Heron and Yellow -Billed Cuckoo, Foxes Bay is also the singular home to the Crib - bean Coot. Common Galhmde and Geen Heron. Teeming with wildlife, visitors will be astonished by the brilliantly coloured iguanas, fiddler crabs and blue crabs on the forest floor. Set on the west coast of the island, Foxes Bay is one of Montserrat's most spectacular sights as sunset brings thousands of birds to roost in the mangroves. Offshore, and commonly sighted soaring above the ocean, are frigate birds, brown boobies, pelicans and terns. The wide, sheltered beach in front of the Sanc- tuary is perfect for swimm- ing and sunning, and picnic tables provide an ideal van- tage point for appreciating the resurgence of nature in this tropical paradise. An undiscovered refuge for nature enthusiasts, the British crown colony of Montserrat is a 15 -minute hop from Antiquua aboard LLAT.

Historic Site In Banff The Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada recently com- memorated the Banff Spr- ings Hotel, one of Canada's premiere resorts, as a na- tional historic site. To mark this event, a plaque was unveiled by the Minister of State for the Environment, Pauline Browes. and witnessed by Member of Parliament for Wild Rose, Louise Feltham. The Banff Springs Hotel is being recognized as a prominent example of a significant social phenomenon - the large- scale resort hotel of the early 20th century. Patrons of the hotel, from the past and the present, love to escape the hurry and worry of urban life and enjoy the outdoors.

Federal regulations have long been employed as a means of ensuring that Canadian standards of living are maintain- ed at an acceptable level. These regulations, administered by the Treasury Board of Canada, touch on many aspects of life, from consumer and health protection, to occupational safety and health, to telecommunications and the environ- ment. Part of the regulatory process is the aspect of reform. which ensures that new regulations are created - and existing ones updated and amended - in order to pro- vide the most efficient and effective results possible. Examples of recent regulatory reforms are diverse and far-reaching. A review of food labelling has been initiated to improve consumer protection against allergic reactions to packaged food items. A safety standard that will require the transmissions of vehicles to be in Park before the igni- tion key can be removed will soon be in effect, in order to prevent unattended children from setting parked cars in motion and other driver errors. Another example of a regulation which regtAred reform involved the protection of the remaining beluga whales in the St. Law• x- nc-e River. Ac- tion was taken. and as a result hunting prohibition will be expended to include all tidal waters south of the 52nd parallel. In recent, years, the federal government has improved its regulatory reform process. To this end, more public response and input has been sought to shed light on reform. The Horse of Commons Finance Committee has been assigned the task of examining the federal government's system of regulation by focusing on ways in which the goals Of regulation could be achieved at the least cost to the economy. In this case. the committee is especially in- terested in the effects that the system of regulation has on the competitiveness of the Canadian economy. I am pleased to announce that I will be chairing a that has been appointed to undertake this task. The sub-comuaittee wishes to be able to provide a general framework within which existing regulation may be usefully assessed and to provide practical guidelines by which the government could evaluate these regulations. This framework should provide a climate for recogmiziug Mem a regulation is not appropriate or not effective and for outl nu* alternatives to regulations as required.
