of Chairman Gary Lown
will be circulated on the
consultative process. The
Security and Safety
Manual developed by a
committee under the direc-
tion of Chairman Jim Robb
will be sent to schools right
away for their immediate
use. Trustees com-

the thoroughness of the
materials they prepared
and the diligence with
which they completed their
difficult tasks.
School Named
The unnamed Whitby
secondary school to be built
on the site of the old
Sinclair P.S. will be named
Sinclair S.S. after the
Sinclair family. The
original Sinclair farm in
southwest Oshawa was set-
tled in 1830. John Sinclair
later donated land in east
Whitby for the Sinclair P.S.
and served as a trustee for
the school for a number of
years. Among early
teachers at Sinclair P.S.
were Dr. Robert Thornton,
and Miss Mowbray who
later became Mrs. Sam
McLaughlin. The school is
scheduled to be completed
for the beginning of the
1994-95 school year.

Removed
A previous motion of the
board directed staff to
enter a tender process with
regard to the possible pur-
chase and removal of the
original portion of Sinclair
P.S. on Taunton Road,
Whitby. Only one tender
was received and it did not
meet the board's conditions
so it was declared informal
and rejected by trustees.
The decision was made,
therefore, to award the
contract for the demolition
of both the old and new sec-

Let's Start Now!
by Bob Watson
Well it's Canada's 125th Birthday and what is extra
special about it' We believe it is time that the silent majori-
ty begins to express its feelings on a number of things.
First of all, all government spending is out of control and
resulting in big debts. The first move by a keen, responsible
government would be to suggest to their civil servants that
now is the time for a small one percent reduction in
everyone's pay t including politicians) for a year. If the
recession doesn't ease in 1993 let's have another one percent
reduction in pay.
Our governments are so busy dictating to the private
enterprise sector of society why not issue a ban on all pay
increases in Canada. Let's all fight the battle of the reces-
sion equally. Strikes should be banned for a year as well.
Of course the removal of the GST and replaced by a small
4.7% increase in income tax would assist small income
earners - and small businesses.
Let's get this country rolling economically' Oh. we
forgot' Abolish the senate and give native peoples' ter-
ritories municipal status inside the provinces.

M.P.P. Oriole
The summer is a good time to give yourself a break by ex-
ploring the simpler side of life through Ontario's great out-
doors.
Ontario's natural beauty abounds in our provincial parks.
You only need to spend a short time in Ontario's wild to
rekindle your faith in what this province has to offer.
Here is the latest information about camping throughout
Ontario's provincial parks.
This year, the Ministry of Natural Resources has in-
troduced camping fees on a park -by -park basis. Higher
camping fees will be tacked on to "highly valued" parks,
while regular fees will apply at all other provincial parks.
"Highly valued" parks are busier than other parks and in-
clude beaches, trails, security, and recreation programs. A
few examples of those parks include: Algonquin Park, Lake
Superior Park, and Sauble Falls.
"Highly valued" campsites range from $13.75 to $18 per
night. Regular sites go for between $12.25 to $16.50 per
night.
Ontario senior citizens will receive a 50 per cent discount
on weekday and weekend camping and daily vehicle permit
fees this year. This discount is being extended to residents
of Ontario with a government -issued disabled person park-
ing permit or a CNIB national identity card.
A campsite reservation service is also available at parks
that usually fill up quickly. Those parks include: Pinery, Ip-
perwash, Sandbanks, Long Point, Killarney. Bon Echo,
Killbear, Sauble Falls, and Point Farms. Reservations will
ensure that there will be a campsite for you when you ar-
rive.
Phone numbers for those parks can be obtained by calling
the Ontario Travel Information line at 1 -MG -ONTARIO
English I and 1 aDa26S3736 I French 1. Telephone reserva-
tions can be made with credit cards. Full payment of the
reservation and camping fee must be guaranteed when
reservation is made. The reservation is a $4.50 non-
refundable fee.
A 24-hour taped vacancy report on parks south of Sud-
bury North Bay can be heard until Labur Day by calling
the Ontario Travel Information line as mentioned above.
Maybe the outdoors can help make Ontanans happy
campers again.
Back To Basics
Education Won't Work?
Should Canada abandon its child -centred approach to
learning in favour of a -back-to-basics- program' Ron
Manzer, professor of political science at Scarborough Cam-
pus, U of T. says no_
Canada's child-eentres education policy is under attack
by supporters of back -to -basics teaching methods, who feel
that children should be getting standardized education con-
centrating on math, science and language. Much of the
debate stems from studies conducted by the International
Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achwve-
ment, revealing that Canadian elementary and secondary
school students do not perform as well as students from
countries such as Germany and Japan.
In his newest manuscript, tentatively titled "State
Education in Canada: Public Policy and Public
Philosophy". Manzer tants about why Canada's education
system may not appear to be keeping up internationally.
The problem, he says, is that Canada has nurtured
pluralism, promoting it as a national ideal. The back -bo -
basics philosophy necessitates a national. simplified cua-
nculuan and strong. uniform testing programs. But a
homogeneous, education system cannot easily be imposed
on a pluralistic society. The child -centres approach is more
flexible in accommodating differences among students.
The classic comparison is between Canada and Japan.
While Japanese students learn cumulatively, building on
the teaching of each year, Canadian teaching methods are
often repetitive, reteachnig skills and knowledge at dif-
ferent levels. Canadian schools do not necessarily have the
same students moving through the system. In terms of
religion, culture, and nationality. Japan is homogeneous
while Canada is not.
Due to the recent influx of students from the Caribbean,
Asia and Europe. the Canadian student population may
change drastically from one grade to the next. We have a
multicultural population base and, as a result, cannot simp-
ly adopt the practices of countries that have stable student
populations.
Professor Manzer hopes that his took, to be completed
this summer, will influence back -to -basics advocates to
proceed more cautiously, with regard for the pluralism
Canada has achieved.

In addition, the Gallery
will close its doors to the
public from next Sat. July 4

closure period bad been
planned to install new
Stage III galleries, but this
period will now be extend-
ed to nearly seven months.
Other cuts to programming
and services will follow.
Although the Gallery in
Toronto will be closed,
some services and pro-
grams to the rest of Ontario
wile still be maintained.
For example, AGO -

In addition, all previous

"July ist, a day of
celebration in Canada, is
also a day of remembrance
in Newfoundland. On that
day in 1918, the Royal New -
fou nuland Regiment was
nearly wiped out in a single
battle. The magnificent
story of the Regiment is not
well-known outside of that
province, but we hope that
our new film will bring the
recognition that it
deserves. It is a story every
Canadian should know."
This statement was
made by Cliff Chadderton,
Chief Executive Officer of
The War Amps, in describ-
ing the association's
newest film, "The Blue
Puttees". It was premiered
June 22nd at the Canadian
War Museum in Ottawa
and is now being released
across Canada.
The film tells the
magnificent story of the
..Royal Newfa ridlaad Regi-
ment's exploits in World
War 1. Still a colony in 1914,
Newfoundland virtually
raised from scratch a regi-
ment that went on to fight
in some of the worst battles
of World War 1. It suffered
terrible losses, most
tragically at Beaumont
Hamel on July 1st, 1916,
where 800 went into battle,
and only 68 answered roll
call the next day.
The film's title, "Blue
Puttees" was the nickname
given to the members of
the Regiment who, due to a
lack of khaki broadcloth,
wore distinctive blue legg-
ings or "puttees".
Chadderton, producer of
"The Blue Puttees", has
long been interested in the
story of the Regiment. At-
tending last summer's
commemorative service to
mark the Battle's 75th an-
niversary inspired him to
. make it the subject of the
for the Gold .
next film in The War Amps
award-winning "Never
Again ! " series.
Present at the premiere
will be 15 young amputees,
all members of The War
Amps Child Amputee
(CHAMP) Program, in Ot-
tawa to attend a special
seminar called "Operation
Legacy". Operation
Legacy and "Never
Again ! " were initiated by
The War Amps to pass on to
the younger generation the
message that war is a terri-
ble and dehumanizing ex-
perience, and that they
should do everything in
their power to stop future
wars.

Bill Watt- s Worlds
ON STAGE: ONE
Andrew Lloyd Webber is
unquestionably a fine musi-
cian composer, one nur-
tured within a family of
such.
Even so, his chief claim
to fame ( and great wealth,
not so incidentally) is his
uncanny ability to seek out
the most unlikely source
materials and transfer
them into musical stage
triumphs. . .Cats, Evita,
Aspects of Love, The Little
Blue Train and even, the
Old Testament story of
Joseph and His Coat of
Manv Colours.
R'h o could have imagin-
ed that the allegorical story
of the Twelve Tribes of
Israel would make a fine
musical; a fine light
musical. one filled with
laughter and sheer energy.
Well, it has and is currently
on view at the gorgeous
Elgin Theatre as Joseph
and the Amazing
Technicolor Dreamcoat.
As always with a Uovd
Webber work one might be
left with the feeling that the
man remains stingy with
his melodic songs. Not so,
not so at all. In the case of
Joseph it's simply that the
melodies have been so
gorgeously orchestrated
and given such lavish pro-
duction values that their
impact is almost akin to the
subliminal.
The songs are good and
one should listen to them an
recordings to appreciate
haw good they realh are.
The production here.
though. is even better than
the songs and it's the pro-
duction
ryduction that carries the
day. . .triumphantly. We
can think of no better way
to describe the impact of
this joy filled work than to
relate that our comparnon,
a usually reserved and
even reticerft lady. was
swaying -swaying'
dancing ! -in the aisle at its
conclusion.
Friends. rarely will you
see and hear such fine sing-
ing, sprinted dancing and
pure energy all on stage at
the same time.
It's such a high energy
cast that only a few in-
dividuals should be singled
out from the largish
number. many of whom
double and even treble in
their roles.
Donny Osmond is
Joseph. He is incredibly
handsome. mous well and,
perhaps to the surprise of
some. sings beautifully.
His is not the voice of an
erstwhile bubblegummer.
It's strong, vibrant and
dramatic.
Mr. Osmond also has a
strong stage presence. He
could probably control at-
tention even without his
fine singing. With it, he is a
major star performing
where he properly belongs,
on stage.
Janet Metz contributes
nicely as the musical nar-
rator and Lee Lobenhofer
is hilarious as Reuben.
Comic kudos go also to
Johnny Seaton as Pharaoh.
The role is performed as a
send up of Elivs Presley
and is performed so well
that one can imagine the
late E. himself performing
it.
There are four local
children's choirs used on a
rotating basis in Joseph.
On the evening of our atten-
dance they were those of
the BayviewGlen Chorus
and -Northern Explosion.
They are simply delightful
and what a treat it is to see
these youngsters, many of
them under ten we swear.
cavorting rhythmically on
stage all while singing like
little angels. They clearly
take their lead from con-
ductor Phil Reno whom we
observed singing along
joyfully with them.
Joyfully is the way one
should approach Joseph
and the Amazing
Technicolor Dreamcoat.
Joyful is the way you will
feel after seeing it.

STAGE : TWO
Comic operas are not
always funny after
repeated viewings. That's
not reallyimportant. After
all. opera .s principal enjoy-
ment is that of its music.
Still. if they can make one
druckle again, it's a bonus.
When the Canadian
Opera Company last
presented "D bic ere di

less than whelrned by it and
even hinted in our review
at monbundity In our
defence, however. we sug-
gest that it was merely a
case of familiarity evoking
less than contentment.
( Clever if we do say so
ourself.)
Now, we have seen it yet
again -at The O'Keefe -and
find ourself chuckling at
the mernory of it even as
this is being written.

outset that the singing is

AL FRESCO:AGAIN
The Dream is back. One
alludes to the Canadian
Stage Company's free -well,
maybe -performances of
Shakespeare in High Part.
Can you believe this is the
10th anniversary' Believe
it.
What could be difficult to
believe are this season's at-
tractions billed collectively
as The Wars of the Roses.
Our publicity release states
the "Shakespeare's
plays (HenryV1, partts1. 2
3 and Richard III have
been edited into three ex-
citing evenings of theatre. „
That smacks to us of
Lamb's tales or, even
worse. Bowdler.
Anyway. the release con-
tinues, "Kicking

that expression! "the an-
nual summer offering is

his death". . .lower case
etc.
One applauds the seem-
ing determination of C.S.C.
to bring the Bard to the
people but let it be at least
what little has come down
to us of his writings. Don't
..edit"One does not fur-
ther "edit" the finest
,ATitings in all of Western
culture.
That said, let it also be
noted that we were unable
to attend the premiere
because of conflicting
scheduling though it is our
eventual intention. It might
well be, and probably is,
the case that Wars is ex-
citing and challenging
theatre but damme if it's
Shakespeare. And where is
it written that theatre
should be challenging
anyway?
Henry 06 tuns until July
:26th and is to be followed by
Eddie W (what the hey!)
until Aug. 23rd and Dick 3
plays from Sept. 28th to
Oct. 24th at the Saint

becoming chilly by then

"Hits of the Blitz" At Old Scott House
by Frank Knight
I am happy to announce
that professional theatre
has cane to Scarborough -
at least for the summer
period if not longer. Both
are dimer theatres presen-
ting cabaret entertainment
for your pleasure.
The Old Scott house, one
of Scarborough's finest
restaurants, has moved in-
to dinner theatre for the
first time with its presenta-
tion of "Hits of the Blitz".
The show is a warm-
hearted. nostalgic. musical
comedy look at the Second
World War through the
songs and comedy of that
prod.
With Scottish tenor Peter
Glenn, Corahe Allan. Lynn
Winters, and Mickey
McFadden this is a show of
pure high class entertain-
ment and a sure -Cut win-
ner.
Coupled with an ex-
cellent three course dinner
(choice of meal). a
reasonable wine list, at-
mosphere and attentive
service this must be the
best piece in the city for a
Saturday evening's outing.
The dinner show con-
tinues every Saturday
night through until August
at only $37.50 per person.
Dinner at 7 p.m. The Old
Scott House, 520 Progress

vations are advised. Phone

AROUND AND AMUT:
Your correspondent has
never truly understood the
affinity between wind and
reed instrumentalists.
Your correspondent has
now ceased caring.
This is after hearing the
gorgeous ( we're not yet so
old that we can't recognize
beauty) Laura Nashman
performing, at Hehconian
Hall, selections from her
new Fanfare CD, The
French Connection with
pianist John Arpin who also
accompanies her on
Miss Nashman is a
flautist ( and she prefers
the correct term, thank you
very much) who plays and
apparently specializes in
the music of the French
composers. ..Faur-0, Satie,
Massenet et al.
Time has not yet permit-
ted a listen to the complete
CD but from the samplings
we heard in person, it pro-
mises to be a winner.
One particularly looks
forward to a rehearing of
the Meditation from Thais
and Debussy's Golliwog's
Cakewalk. Let's hope
Dudley Laws doesn't find
the title of the latter to be
politically insensitive.
Before attending at The
Heliconian. we had been at
Sutton place to hear two
other artists
uig
selections from theirnew
albums. Again, we haven't
had the opportunity to
listen to either of the
albums but after expenen-
cing the artists in person,
are eagerly anticipating
the pleasure.
Kaycee Lynne is another
beautiful woman -life is in-
deed good! -and she is a
singer composer. obvious-
ly she is equally at home in
all pop music but seems
predisposed to Country.
There is a certain quality of
hard earned maturity in
her voice that is quite winn-
ing.
James Owen Bush might
well be a young force to be
reckoned with in the next
lustrum or so. Obviously
struggling with ner-
vousness and poor
acoustics he still managed
to convery the impression
of a young Engelbert
Humperdirnck. The voice is
strong and pure.
Kaycee Lynne and
James Owen Bush. Watch
and listen for them both.
AT THE TOP:
Mabel! opens July 7th at
Top O' The Senator on July
9th. Jackie Richardson
stars as Mabel Mercer in
this salute to a singer who
probably did more to evoke
interest in jazz flavoured
pop than any other. And,
she did it as a lady.
Book early for this show.
ATTENTION!:
Just a reminder, if one is
needed that Cats is in cur-
rent attendance at The
O'Keefe. This is another
Andrew Lloyd Webber
show that has survived
against all odds. It has
been highly praised Sime
its premiere a decade ago
but usually with an escape
cautionary that it's a one
time experience. After all
this time it's hard to
believe that all those lucky
ones enjoying Cats this
week at The O'Keefe
'where it really should
have had its local
premiere) are seeing it for
the first time.
Enjoy. Now. where has
that blasted Garfield got
to'.
COMMS XT:
"America is a land
where boys refuse to grow
up" Madagarta. "England
is merely an island of beef
flesh swimming in a warm
gulf stream of gravy."
Katherine Mansfield. What
will be written of Canada in
the future, always assum-
ing that we will survive as
a enation'
One has fears that it
might well be requiescat in
pace, not redivivus.
Anyway, Happy 125th,
Canada.

Drug For Treating Schizophrenia
Clozapine, a drug for treating schizophrenia, is to be pro-

Health Minister Frances Lankin has announced.
The drug is intended for patients who cannot tolerate or
are not helped by other drug treatments for schizophrenia.
Although not all patients who try clozapine find it helpful,
studies show that those who do respond often see a
dramatic improvement in quality of life.

Art Gallery Forecasts Layoffs
The Ontario Ministry of
Qdwm and Communica-
tions has announced that it
was giving an operating
grant of $9.5 million to the
art Gallery of Ontario for
its 1992 93 fiscal year.
This amount is $2.6
million less than the $12.1
million the AGO received
from the Ontario govern-
ment for the same purpose
iia 1.980, 9L In a"tion, the
Gallery -will remve' a owe
nsillian dollar transitional
fund to pay for a task force
to study the Gallery's
operations. as well as some
outreach and education
Director Glenn Lowry
said, "As one of the leanest
and most efficiently run art
museums in !Borth
America already, we
wekorne this task force if it
can help us restructure the
AGO's operations within
the new budget
eaHowever, no task force can
resolve our immediate pro-
blems. "
The government's deci-
sion comes at a time when
the Gallery faces signifi-
cant cost increases for the
basic maintenance of Stage
III, the AGO's expanded
facility which is nearing
completion.
The new facility,
scheduled to open in
January, 1993, will give the
Gallery over 50 percent
more exhibition space, and
was intended to further im-
prove the Gallery's
outreach and education
operations, which current-
ly reach many hundreds of
thousands of persons
across the province annual-
ly.
The decision was made
despite intense public sup-
port which saw more than
13,000 postcards and letters
sent to the Premier's of-
fice. Its impact will affect
every aspect of Gallery
operations, and the
ramificaitons will be felt
across the province.
Michael Hasley, presi-
dent of the Gallery's Board
of Trustees said, '"Ibis
decision will have a signifi-
cant impact on the vitality
of Ontario and Canada's
cultural community. The
Gallery is Ontario's only
art museum with a far-
reaching provincial man-
date and we provide essen-
tial services to galleries
throughout the province.
The need for these
operating funds is closely
tied to programs we've
developed in cooperation
with the provincial govern-
ment for the benefit of On-
tanans everywhere. -
The 2.6 million runback
also means that the Gallery
will lose the ability to
develop programs which
generate revenues,
resulting in an additional
loss of up to $5 million an-
nually. So that in real
terms, the Gallery will be
forced to manage with
operating funds that fall 3D
percent short of current
costs.
The Gallery has a
92 -year-long history of
fiscal prudence and respon-
sible management. For
more than a decade, the
provincial government has
been aware that the
Gallery's operating blase is
inadequate. Three years
ago. the Gallery submitted
a detailed strategic plan
which included a proviso
for stepped increases to its
operating base which
would have gradually pbas-
ed in the necessary funds.
The Gallery has followed
this pian: the government.
in spite of repeated
assurances, has not.
At present. Art Gallery of
Ontario Board of Trustees.
senior staff and union
representatives are engag-
ed in crisis management
planning. Although a
number of contingency
measures are being con-
sidered. none has yet been
finalized.
Ironically, the govern -
mew's decision comes at a
time w hen the AGO is m the
midst of celebrating its
25th anniversary of part-
nership with the province
of Ontario.

Club's Margaret Antler. 15.
travelled to Montreal to
compete in the 10K
marathon swim sponsored
by Air Canada. It was 5
laps swum ower a 2K
course.
Margaret completed her
first marathon swimming
race in the chilly 68° water
,n 2 hours and 29 mimntrc to
place 6th in the event. Us-
ing a mixture of vaseline
and lanolin rubbed onto
face. arms and legs.
Margaret was not bothered
so much by the frigid water
as the seaweed wtudi occa-
sionally stuck to her greas-
ed body.
"The cold water was
shocking to enter but after
about 500 metres I felt
warmer and I really wasn't
cold again until the last lap.
My mom was worried
because I looked "blue..
with cold but I was able to
walk out at the finish line so
I feel I was in really good
shape before and after the
swim. This was my first
marathon so I was scared
and very much alone at the
event but I will know what
it is all about next year. I
will do the swim again."
Margaret would like
more of her club mates to
enter the meet next year.
There were 1K swims and
relays for kids under age
14. The 10K event is for
those 14 and over.

Prevent Bicycle Thefts
13 Division has declared
May to be "Bicycle
Month".
With Spring arriving the
reports of bicycle thefts
soar. A number of these
bicycles are taken for a
"joy, ride", then dumped.
The bicycles are located
and reported as found pro-
perty. When the owner
reports their bicycle stolen
and fails to describe the
bicycle with a serial
number, it is virtually im-
possible to re -unite the
bicycle and the owner.
Every year we must auc-
tion off hundreds of
bicycles that are found,
because we can not identify
their owners and are
unable to return them.
The heartache that is felt
by a child who comes out of
school and finds that their
bicycle is gone can be
prevented.
The Metropolitan Toron-
to Police offer a bicycle
registration service.
The Community Rela-
tions and Crime Prevention
Office of 13 Division will be
dropping off registation
cards to each school in the
Division. it will be up to the
school to promote this ser-
vice and distribute the
registration cards. The
cards will be picked up
every Friday morrnng dur-
ing the month of May.
Students may take home
the cards and have their
family members register
their bicycles. Registration
cards may also be dropped
off at 13 Division at any
time.
If your bicycle does not
have a serial number, we
will assist in creating one
for you.
There will also be of-
ficers working Saturdays s
a.m. to 8 p.m and Sundays
12 noon to 6 p.m. at 13 Divi-
sion, 1335 Eglinton Ave. W.
during the month of May to
register bicycles.

cess.
A "draft" version of the
Mission. Vision and
Strategic Directions is now
being widely circulated
throughout the MSSB com-
munity. It will serve not on-
ly as guidelines for trustees
and senior staff. but will
also serve as a blueprint
for detailed planning at the
school and department
level. An "action plan pro.
cess" will also be cir-
culated to assist local
school communities in
developing their local ac-
tion plans. Principals and
department heads will be
inserviced by
superintendents in the near
future.
These action plans will
be implemented and refin-
ed throughout the 1992-93
academic year. The final
validation of the Mission.
Vision and Strategies will
take place in the spring of
1993.
The board will operate
from its Vision for five to
ten years. Strategic direc-
tions and local plans will be
reviewed on an annual
basis and all stakeholders
will be invited to share in
the ongoing evaluation of
action plans.

tion of extracurricular ac-
tivities in 37 MSSB secon-
