Of Education Notes Trees For .111 Project Con doles Brad Cruxton, Chairman Of the Education Centre Communications Team, suunmanzed for trustees the Trees For All project which ran in April and May at the site of the new Education Centre. The ob- jectives of the project were all met successfully. Over 6000 trees were saved from the bulldozer and used to beautify 53 Durham Board schools. Hundreds of students and staff visited the Taunton Road site to dig trees before returning to their schools to implement land- scaping plans. The project ran at no cost to the board and raised awareness of the new Education Centre and Sinclair S.S. complex. Brad introduced Bill Ogle of Canada Trust who told trustees about the criteria for securing money from their Friends of the Environment Fund. He stated that the Treess For MOULDING & TRIM FACTORY OPEN TO THE PUBLIC Hours: Mon -Fri B-6 p.m Sat 8.1 p m All project was en- vironmentally sound. rais- ed community awareness of the fragile nature of the environment and beautified a number of sites around the region.

Changes for Ajax and Pickering High Schools ker Trustees approved a mo- tion to change Harwood S.S. from a technical school with courses at the basic and general level to a full program secondary school like Ajax H.S. and Picker- ing H.S. The change will begin in September 1993 with students who graduate in June 1993 from Lakeside P.S., Duffirs Bay P.S., Lord Durham P.S. and the English program at Southwood Park P.S. mak- ing up the lead class. French Immersion students from Sir John A. Macdonald P.S. Fren- chman's Bay P.S. and the French program at Southwood Park P.S., who would normally begin their PRINTING 683.1968 secondary career at Pickering KS., will move instead to Ajax H.S. These moves are necessary to balance the student enrolments amour the 3 Harwood S.S. will be renamed to reflect its new program and image. Ajax trustees Cindy Dudley, Duncan Read and Oshawa trustee Audrey McLean will sit on that renaming committee. The school plans a year - by -year phase-in of the new curriculum. Students who enrol at Harwood S.S. this Septembr will continue to have the opportunity to complete their high school diploma in the current technical academic set- ting. Students who would normally enter the grade 9 basic level program at Harwood S.S. in September 1993 will now have their needs addressed by the secondary school in their own neighbourhood. This is due to the Ministry of Education's decision to eliminate the need for students to choose their grade 9 courses at the basic, general or advanced level. We've Got The Best Country gram will continue once a month throughout the sum- mer.

The small print certainly reduced the statement to its proper proportions. To quote Bourassa. "In a renewed federation. Quebec is only seeking to manage its social. cultural and economic development.

July 22, 192 THE NEWS/POST Page 3 High School Dropouts Want Back In The majority of high school dropouts in Canada would like to return to school, according to a study by a University of Toronto sociology pro- fessor. Scouring fast food restaurants, job clubs, shelters and using word of mouth, Julian Tanner along with co -researchers Harvey Crahn and Tim Harnahgel interviewed about 160 high school dropouts between 16 and 24 years old in Edmonton, Alta. Of those, 70 percent said they wanted to go back to school, either in an alter- native or traditional form Of education. "What was surprising was that we expected the resportdents to be more estranged than they were. We anticipated that they would have deep, negative feelings about school - little of which did we actually find, "said Tanner, who points out that the data reflects other Canadian centres as well. In fact, the majority were regretful and were prepared to con- template returning to school." Although dissatisfaction with school was the main reason for dropping out in the first place, the dropouts' experiences with Stray Cats Outnumber Adoptions Despite the Toronto Hmnane Society's efforts to eaoorrage cant adoption, the number of society animals has remained stable due to an influx of stray cats. Although we've tried to promote adoption in the past month, we aren't pin- ing any ground.- says Kathleen Hunter, Ex- ecutive Director. 'People are adopting pets but we're constantly admitting new animals. We're completely full with 127 dogs and 217 cats in our care... Since June 19th, the society has been conduc- ting a city-wide campaign to promote adoption that included a nailing to more than 68.000 Toronto residents, and staff per- sonally distributing flyers at Union Station and out- side First Canadian Place. Since the campaign's in- ception, 294 cats have been adopted. However. 472 cats have been admitted to the shelter for the same period. And there are still more than 300 cats and kittens in foster homes, slated to come back to the shelter. "Most of the admitted cats appear to be well-fed and have healthy fur." says Sandra Hyckie. Shelter Manager. "People who have lost their cats should come visit our shelter as soon as possible." Adoption hours at the Toronto Humane Society are: Monday to Friday, 11:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., Saturday, noon to 4:30 p.m., and Sunday, noon to 3:30 p.m. The shelter is located at 11 River St. (at Queen St. E.) It Pays To Advertise the lack of jobs available to them and the stigma at- tached to being a high school dropout, pushes them to go back. A large number of male respondents said they had left school for appren- ticeships but couldn't find any. "At some point, going back to school becomes a source of hope, a way to dig themselves out of a hole. Most of them don't see their dropout status as per- manent," said Tanner. Tanner said he was also expecting to find a higher level of psychological distress in dropouts. In fact, they reported better psychological health than students who were about to ;graduate. The high school dropout rate has been a concern of North American society since the Second World War. The issue intensifies at certain periods but Tan- ner isn't convinced the rate is any higher now than it ever was. Anxiety over it is greater now, however, because the consequences of being a dropout are worse than they used to be, he said. "in the '30s and '40s, dropping out of school avant they would work the farms. The labor market effects weren't as negative as they are now," Tanner said. Today, dropout rates reflect poorly on the socie- ty. In the United States, higher rates among par - titular ethnic groups raises serious Questions about an education system that claims to be meritocratic, he said. In Canada, the rates aren't higher among specific groups, he said.

July 22, 1992 THE NEWS; POST Page 5 Parents Rally To Save Island School The Island Public School Home and School Associa- tion and a group of parents and students invited the media to attend a con- ference at the Island Public School/Natural Science School on July 21st. Purpose of this meeting was to draw attention to the plight of the Island Public School and the Natural Science School. The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto is refusing to revew the lease on the school that has been on the island for over 100 years. The Island Public School Natural Science School serves residents of the city in two ways. The Natural Science School of- fers a week-long en- vironmental sleep -over program for all city of Toronto students. For many inner city children it is their first experience away from home and their first extended stay in the natural environment. Since 1961 over 82,000 children have participated in the environmental pro- gram at the Natural Science School. The school also offers regular classes for children who live in the Harbourfront area and on the island. The Toronto Board of Education has had the fun- ding to replace the aging facilities since 1989 but a new lease is required before construction can begin. The board is anxious to proceed with construc- tion of a new school because the original island Doug Ottenbreit Seeks NDP Nomination Doig Ottenbreit, a long- time activist with the tie% Democratic Party. has an- nounced his intention to seek the NDP nominal= in Scarborough East in the upcoming federal election. Doug perceives the need for solid federal initiatives to develop a job strate*- that makes sense for the 1990s. The local proWerzs of crime are a direct result of high unemployment in Scarborough. Doug says.

Doug identifies protec- tion of Canada's unique social programs as the key issue in the election and as vital to preserving Canada's identity and uni- ty. "Even if we keep Canada together as a covin - try. but lose the ability to maintain the universality of social programs and health care, it will be a shallowr victory and actual- ly the demise of Canada...

July 22. 1192 Bill Watt's Worlds FROM STRATFORD: Love's Labour's t.ost: Your correspondent's love of Shakespeare re- mains emotional not scholarly. That said, we Suffer only minimal em- barrassment in admitting Chat we've never been sure about the title Love's Labour's Lost. It's obviously a play on words but what, if am•, was 'llhe Bard's principal, in- tended or otherwise, mean- ing' Is it declarative: ef- forts of love didn't win, or is it picturesque: a descrip- tion of unsuccessful amatory pursuits.' What ever we don't con- sider our labour of love - driving through a tempest to see it -to have been in a lost cause. No indeed! This Marti Maraden directed production of Love's Labour's Lost might well be considered a standard against which all others should now be measured. The play itself is in- substantial froth and as such can tend toward light enactment or even farce. Under the softly tight direction of Ms. Maraden and the gorgeous fin de sit&- cie design of Christina Pod- dubiuk and Lotase Gui- nand, it becomes a work of merriment spiced with the mirth of Laughter. One rather suspects that it is Ms. Maraden who is responsible for the em- phasts pig ul)on the gen- tle. rarely bitchy. taunting of the four pursued ladies. As well. one suspects her gentle hand to be responsi- ble for the respect given Docs Adrian. Holofernes and Sir Nathaniel. Too often they are subjected to the rough h rnour of the rabble from which much of Shakespeare's audiences were drawn. Ms. Maraden and the actors who perform the roles -Pater Donaldson. Douglas Rain and William Needles respectively - impart a sort of nobility to them. The quartet of Navarre (John Barrymore's pet name for Errol Flynn) and his attendant lords is well delineated by Diego Matamoros, Paul Miller. the almost too boyish Jef- frey Kuhn and Colm Feore. The last named's central role of Berowne is given rather mort sardonicism than is perhaps necessary but we're being subjective. The distaff -quartette -is equally well portrayed by M'selles Lucy Peacock. Michelle Fisk. Claire Rankin and Alison Sealy - Smith. The last named, in a literal casting as Rosaline. the sought after amour of Berowne, is flirtatious yet frank. seeming flighty but decidely not feckless. She's also a knockout to view! Carolyn Hay is a suitably earthy Jaquenetta, love of the pompous Don Adriano played simply splendidly by Peter Donaldson. They're nicely counter pointed by Marion Day as Moth and William Vickers as Costard, looking remarkably like the late Rhys Williams. Comic kudos as well to Bernard Hopkins, straight out of Smith and Dale as DWI. the Constable and Tom Wood as Boyet, an almost de facto chorus. Nice bits, too. by Tyrone Benskin, Stephen Bogaert, Antoni Cimilino and musi- cian Terry McKenna in supporting roles. If comic laurels (Stan Laurels', must be given, however. let them be to Douglas Rain as Holofernes and William Needles as Sir Nathaniel. Stretch your imaginations to picture Bob and Ray as overblown, second rate scholar and cleric and you might -just might -achieve some idea of haw funny are these two fine actors. En fin. Stratford presents Love's labour's Lost. wthich we earlier call- ed a froth. as a fine broth. one to be consumed often. 71e Tempest: Robertson Davies ( Rob to his friends � wrote Renown at Stratford. the first commissioned book about the Stratford.

Thhe day was filled with brilliant sunshine outside: inside, we were on Pro- spero's gloomy island. Enough' We're dissennbl- ing.

We'd buy it. At this point. readers will be asking themselves if there might not be some in- congruity in the design. How, for example, can the dynamic fencing be part of a twenties scene' Well, for one thing. the sick Tybalt is an army of- ficer and carries a non - ceremonial sword. In the duel with Mercutio• the lat- ter is returning from a fen- cing practice. The fatal scenes between Romeo and Tybalt and Paris' We're not going to give away how they're done. That would be depriving readers of the pleasure of personal discovery and appreciation of the skill of Director Richard Monette. The gentleman's skill does not end there however. It extends itself into direction of the per- formers who, with one possible exception, clearly show the effects of his firm rein. We harboured some reservation about the casting of Megan Porter Follows despite her fine blood lines. It seemed to us that she is simply too young for the role. How wrong we were! The young lady plays the role to well nigh perfec- tion. Perthaps her perfor- mance owes much to Mr. Monette but the talent had to be there initially ... and in abundance. One will not over•dwell on nuances of the young lady's performance but simply must mention the scene in which she takes the potion to induce the appearance of death. Heart breaking. Antoni Cimolino is Romeo. He. too, is ex- ceedy younthful but just right in his performance, properly callow but more than boyish. And, he is clearly born to good fami- ly. Nice piece of acting. Colm Feore is the actor we suspect who does not respond to the director. His Mercutio is exciting but smacks rather more of Dorian Gray's mentor than the Steerforth usually associated with the role. Still, what he does. he does well. Dare one say, almost too well' Lewis Gordon is a superb man of affairs as Capulet and Kate Trotter as Lady Capulet is allowed more than a hint of the in- cestuous feelings she has for Tybalt. She is however, first and foremost a mother. Lorne Kennedy plays Tybalt as a swaggering sicko, to employ the vulgate, for %%, born it is im- possible to feel any sym- pathy. Such is the power of his menace that one feels compelled to cheer at his despatch. Mervon Mehta is quietly efficient as Paris and Paul Miller is excellent as Ben- volio, a part that is sometimes ambiguous. Tim MacDonald is regal- ly powerful as the Prince while Ian White and Mary Hitch Blendick quietly por- tray the decent and grief stricken parents of Romeo. Bernard Hopkins as Mean Steve Piano. Ron Hedland and Bill Westcott. The Ann Tindal "Acoustic Stage" features performances by London. Ont. vocalist Georgette Fry: Montreal's Penny Lang; Jackson Delta; and mare! The festival builds to a finale with perfor- mances by John Dickie. Morgan Davis and Al Ler- man. Correction In our 15th July edition we published a photo of four people involved in the corner stone re-laying ceremony at Church of the Master. We referred to the chairman of the Toronto Scarborough Presbytery as Rev. Lillian Cornish. This was incorrect. She is really Rev. Lillian Morrison. We apologize for this error. Friar Lawrence makes much of the role as he per- forms his works not supply out of compassion for the lovers but in an effort to halt the blood feud between their families. Probably the greatest pleasure to be derived from this production is the feel- ing that one is seeing Romeo and Juliet for the first time. Perhaps one is. Curtain Call: Comparing seasons at Stratford is rather like try- ing to establish absolutes which is impossible. Yet, one would be more than remiss not to suggest that the '92 Season is one of the better ones. That's no small accomplishment when excellence is the norm as it has always been at Stratford. "When forty winters shall besiege thy brow and dig deep trenches in thy beauty's field" is inap- propriate. Better by far to invoke "For we, which now behold these present days, have eyes to wonder but lack tongues to - sufficiently -praise." Travel Note: Whilst attending the festival we always take ac- commodation at the Shakespeare Inn located in the literal hamlet of, naturally enough, Shakespeare. It's clean, convenient and not costly. It has our recommendation, one that will be included in our in- tended Watt's World's Travel Guide. L.

The - federation ad- ministers development programs for players at all age categories, certified coaches and umpires. Baseball Canada hosts six National Champion- ships, including: The Cracker Jack Cup (13 and under) ; Bantam (15 and under) ; Midget (18 and under); Selects (18 and under all -Stars for the Blue Jays Cup) ; Junior (21 and under); and Senior (open age Base�ball Canada selects two national teams for in- ternational competition. The National Youth Team (18 and under) competes annually at the World AAA Youth Championship and other world events. Team Canada represents Canada at open international events. Each year Team Canada travels throughout the world preparing for the quadrennial World Cham- pionships and Olympics. Baseball Canada has two high performance training centres. the National Baseball Institute (NBi) in Vancouver and the Academy of Baseball Canada (ABC) in Mon- treal.

SOFTENS ANNOUNCES ALLOCATION OF 125TH AN- NIVERSARY MEDALS Rene Soetens, M.P. for Ontario Riding, has announced Chat Her Majesty the Queers has approved the creation of a Commemorative Medal to mark the 125th anniversary of the Confederation of Canada. Forty of these medals will be awarded to deserving Ontario Riding residents. The medals are expected to be delivered between Sept. I and Dec. 31, 1992. Mr. Soetens is inviting area residents to nominate suitable candidates for this honour. Nominations should be submitted to his Ajax office. These nominations will be reviewed by a committee of citizens, headed by Mr. Soetens, that will aid in the selection process. "People have always honoured those whose talents. values and actions benefit the community". said Mr. Soetens. "The presentation of these medals will ensure a tangible and lasting way to pay tribute to the people whose achievements have benefitted their fellow citizens. The fact that these medals were created on the theme of Canada's 125th birthday entrances their importance... Since there is no standardized norrrination form, people interested in nominating others should provide a written ex- planation detailing that person's achievements. General guidelines advise that recipients should reflect the diverse nature of Canadian society and that the rnedal shouid be awarded to persons from different professions, ethnic origins. and cultures. Good rand; dates will also be marked by accomplishments that have been appreciated by large segments of the populatirm Changes To Immigation Act Much of our nation w•as built on the efforts and dedication of people who came from somewhere else People decide to make Canada their home for many reasons. Some cane here to find a new beginning, others to join their families, still others to flee persecution. Today. as many as Ila nuum people around the awid are on the move. But the growing number of people searching for a horse strains our un - migration system. That's why we are proposing changes to the Immigration Act - to make sure that immigration continues to serve the lest interests of Canadians. The changes will make our im- migration program more fair, balanced, and effective. They will help us meet our goals of reuniting families, pro- te";M refugees and attracting nemacwners wtvwe skins and talents will help tis continue to build our nation The proposed changes will help us better manage Canada's immigration program in three specific ways First, it will speed up the process for spouses and depen- dent children of immigrants Thi, will help reunite im- mediate families faster. Second, standard times will be set to process claims for some categories of immigrants. Third, applications will be limited for other categones These changes will better balance the flow of immigrants into Canada and stop costly backlogs from piling up. Thus is good news not only for newcomers but also for taxpayers. The proposed changes will better protect our society New- measures will help airlines identify illegal migrants before: they reach Canada. Stiffer fines and jail terms will be in order for '-people smugglers" Immo ration officers will be allowed to search those with no ID and seize vehicles used to smuggle people. The% will also take more action to stop enrtunals from using Canada's refugee system to avoid justice in their own counts by trying to immigrate here. The proposed changes will speed up the system we use to determine which refugees may stay in Canada Slow decu- siom are unfair to real refugees who want to get on with their lives. They are also unfair to taxpayers who must pay for the social semice programs on which claimants must rely. These changes will improve a system that the United Nations consider the fairest in the world. And they will help ensure that Canada achieves its goals of reuniting families. protecting genuine refugees. and attracting people with skills and initiative that will enhance our quality of life. and help our country grow.

Oriole Usually at this time of year. M.P.P.s return to their ridings. But this stammer. for a number of reasons, legislators are still working at Queen's Park. Members of the liberal caucus are here primarily because of their concerns about the N'DP's economic policies. When the new session of the Legislature began last April, Bob Rae said his first priority was jobs. Since then, the number of unemployed people in Ontario has climbed by 23,000, while youth unemployment has risen to 19.3 percent. But instead of taking action to get Ontario's economy moving again, Bob Rae continues to ignore the province's economic realities and implement his ideological agenda. I am concerned about the NDP's plan to overhaul On- tario's labour legislation. The Liberal caucus has met with hundreds of individuals and business people to hear their views, and Liberal Leader Lyn McLeod has received hun- dreds of faxes and thousands of petitions from people who are worried about the impact of these changes on their jobs and businesses. We believe there must be a careful, deliberate review of this proposal to determine how it will affect jobs. The place to debate the impact of the legislation is in the Legislature. However, the NDP has introduced rule changes which will significantly restrict debate in the House. We've been trying to prevent these changes, and we believe it's no coincidence that the NDP has pushed through these restrictions on debate at the same time it has in- troduced its controversial labour law amendments. The Progressive Conservatives voted for the rule changes and were ready to accept limited debate on the OLRA amendments. Lyn McLeod and the Ontario Liberals are willing to stay at Queen's Park and give the OLRA legislation the time for debate that it warrants. Following the debate in the Legislature, a legislative committee is expected to hold cross -province hearings dur- ing the summer. We are looking forward to listening to peo- ple's concerns and suggestions for improving the govern- ment's proposals. (Each Citizen Should Keep Track Of His/Her Politician Business Community News $40,000 Grant For Space Campus Ontario's Ministry of In- dustry, Trade and Technology (MITT) has donated $4o,000 to the fledgling Algonquin Space Campus, Canada's first residential summer camp for teens, to help defray summer camp costs. The grant was announc- ed by MITT Minister Ed Philip prior to the start of the first Space Campus ses- sion, which began June 29th. Algonquin Space Campus is an educational initiative of the Institute for Space and Terrestrial Science (ISTS), based in North York, launched to mark 1992 - International Space Year. Encouraging more of orr Young people to enter careers in science and technology will help im- prove the competitiveness of Ontario in the future," the Minister noted in a communique to ISTS Ex- ecutive Director George MacFarlane. "The Algon- quin Space Campus will ;provide high school students with a unique and valuable opportunity to work with actual radio astronomy equipment and facilities." In June, Minister Philip hosted a luncheon in sup- port of the Algonquin Space Campus, held in Toronto to encourage corporate sup- port for the inaugural year of the space camp. Calling for the support of educators, communities, business and parents, Philip encouraged the study of maths and sciences in high school to support the Ontario space sector which directly employs over 30,000 in highly -skilled, value-added businesses. Algonquin Space Campus was launched on June 28 at the site in Algonquin Park with special guests Cana- dian astronaut Dr. Ken Money and American astronaut Dr. Kathryn Sullivan. Let's Work & Make Canada Even Better Quality... our most devastating competitive advantage by Dayid R McCamus Chairman, Natweal Quality Month, October 1992 Chairman. Xerox Caaada Inc. As consumers, we all have an intuitive understanding of what Quality is. Quality malics us W as though we've received our nxmcy's worth. Them was a time when Qu- ality rrueant a product that looked good, lasted and was well built. But in the 90s, nowt People spend money on sm- roes. so the def nitim of Quality has broadened, and sequendy- Ouality has become more difficult - For ezampk. what 000sti- tures Quality when we visit the dentist' If the dentist does what you -quac -- improves the ap- pcarancc of ,your teeth, leaves you healthy, doesn't hurt you and doesn't over -charge you -- then you probably feel lila your requirements have been met. So measuring Quality in our evm - day consumer purchases realty means &king the question. "Am I satisficd r a customer:'" For a business person, it is easy to define Quality simply by asking the same question: -Am I fully meeting or exxed- ing my c-ustomcrs• require- ment;'" But in the business, cin iron- ment, we have to ask a second question: -Am I doing it Il)ll<'r, of the time:'" This second ques- tion is important because of the damage that even a I % or 2r failure rate can do. One per cent customer dissatisfaction for, say, a drycleaner, means hundreds or even thousands of failures every year. On a larger scale, the same holds true for Canada and its national economy. If the thou- sands and thousands of busi- nesses that are exporting to other countries around the world are satisfying their cus- tomers, then our national economy is in good shape. Unfortunately, that is not al- ways happening. In too many cases, we're losing ground to foreign competitors. Even here at home, foreign products, which can be cheaper and better made, are taking Canadian jobs. What we need to do as work- ing people, business people and Canadians coneemed about our economic future is to look for strategies that will guarantee competitive advantage both domestically and in the world market. One such strategy is Total Quality Management, an ap- proach to everyday business attitudes that works with an n pr t'> prou,j,: 101al Qualm allows business People to expand their customer base and dramatically increase customer satisfaction. This translates into healthier busi- nesses, better profits and more secure jobs. With Total Quality Manage- ment. only one consistently - asked question is realty impor- tant: "Did 1 satisfy my cus- tomer":' In essence, Total Qu- ality Management provides workers and business people with techniques and processes that enable them to be completely customer -focused and customer -driven. Total Quality Management also empowers working people because it ends the conflict that too many of us live with every day trying to satisfy our custom- ers on one hand and our em- ployers on the other hand. In a Quality organization, employ- ers realize that their employees are the bridge to their custom- ers, and they are the customer's agent inside the organization. Employees are second only to customers in terms of impor- tance. lir., ... Zara+.^ U not .. would seem, ych�th n- terprisc is large or "'Mali.vow can begin by getting hold of some literature on Quality, or talking it over with the appro- priate people within your com- pany. You can also look to Qu- ality Month -- an annual cele- bration of Qualitv in Canada every October -- as an opportu- nity to learn more about the benefits of Quality. Over the next few months leading up to Quality Month, I will be look- ing further at Total Qualitv Management and how you can bring it into your workplace or business regardless of its size. In the meantime, I challenge you to ask yourself with every customer experience you have whether it's been a Quality ex- perience for you. I further chal- lenge you as a working person to ask yourself whether You meet or exceed your customer's requirements with every cus- tomer dealing you have. If we can answer yes to these ques- tions, then we are practicing Quality. And Quality is the most devastating competitive advan- tage we can have as working people and as a nation. Wed. July 22, 1992 THE NEWS POST Page 9 Ontario Residents NO.1 With Dentists Ontario residents visit the dentist more than anyone else in the country. A recent survey by The Canada Health monitor shows Ontario leading all provinces with 77 percent of the population visiting the dentist once a year or more. This marks a signifi- cant increase from 19&5 when the figure stood at 70 percent. The reason for an in- creasing number of visits, may be connected with the feelings people have about their experiences with the dentist. Over 90 percent of Canadians surveyed found their dentist friendly and attentive, taking the time to listen to what they had to say. In addition 97 percent were either very, or moderately satisfied with the dental care they receiv- ed. "The research shows that people are pleased with the service and treat- ment they are getting at their dentist's office and are making dental health a higher priority as a result," said Ontario Den- tal Association, President, Dr. Peter Fendrich. "It's particularly good to see On- tario leading the way." Dr. Fendrich went on to say that increased use of dental treatment comes at a time when the incidence of cavities in the population is decreasing. "People are more aware of oral health today," said Fendrich. "In years past. people went to the dentist when they had a toothache, but now they're going regularly to maintain a healthy smile." Dr. Fendrich also points out that. "research shows membership in a profes- sional association is con- sidered more important to patients than other factors such as facilities, fees and location of the office." This according to a recent En- vironics Research poll that showed 53% of patients surveyed saw membership in a professional associa- tion, such as the Ontario Dental Association, as a very important factor in their selection of a dentist. Training Plan Helps Business A training and human resource planning guide released by the Ministry of Skills Development will enable businesses and organizations across On- tario to improve their training and human resource strategies. The Training Plan Development Guide. a 42 page bilingual booklet. is a practical. self-help tool for those responsible for train- ing and human resource issues. It describes an analytic process of developing a training plan to identify current and future training and human resource needs. The process consists of 14 sequential tasks, ap- plicable to any company or organization. Examples of each task are given through the use of a case study of a hypothetical convany- The Ministry of skills Development based the guide on the experiences of more than 20.000 Ontario companies that have taken a systematic approach to their training piarming. "Increasingly. businesses are realizing that their future success depends as much on a highly -skilled workforce as it does on the quality and price of their products or services." says Skills Development '.Minister, Richard Allen. "They know their greatest investment must be in their people. This training guide will enable them to accurately assess their training needs and make the right training decisions. " The Training Plan Development Guide is available at no charge. It is being distributed throughout Ontario to business and training stakeholders.

MVP awards and team For further information call 69s(-9090 After staking out the trail Na for a week or so, my wife Em finally received the envelope that told her she'd received an A on her night school course. To celebrate. we arranged to go out for dinner with our next-door neighbors Terry and Tracy. They brought their baby Greg- ory over for our kids to look after, and when Kyle came downstairs with t:i�. Lur still wet from the shower, -eery won- dered aloud bow we managed to keep two teenagers in hot water. The truth is it's not hard, if you have an energy-efficient show- erhead like we do. To put it simply, you must like to see your money going down the drain if you haven't ger one of these. For our family - and probably yours - showers are the single largest user of hot water in the household. An energy- efficient showerhead will cut your hot water use, per shower, by about 30 per cent. That trans- lates into 28,000 litres (6,167 gallons) of hot water saved over one year, which could also, inci- dentally, save you about S80. Em told Terry this because she likes to see his eyes bulge when he discovers he's spending more money than he has to. The cast of an ennergy-efficient sbowerhead ranges from SR to S80, depending on bow many bells and whistles you want. Wlhen you buy :rte, keep in mind things like: spray adjustments, forcefulness, wall -mounted or hand-held. and bow easy it is to clean. I bought one with a wide range of sprays, since Kyle and Pelinda like theirs one way. and Fit and I like another. But no matter which model you buy, an energy-efficient showcrhead has to have a flow rate of I1 litres (2.6 gallons) per minute or less in order to save water and energy. As we walked out the front door Em said that with the money they'd save with a new showerhead, Terry and Tracy could go out for dinner more often. "Em," Terry replied with a wink, "You're getting too darned smart."

In some cases, division must be consolidated before the Central Ontario Region team for dressage competition at the CNE Pony Club Festival can be determined. Pony Club activity at the Canadian National Exhibi- tion is much expanded this year. Traditionally, the Eastern Canadian Cham- pionships in showjumping and Prince Phillip Games have been held on Youth Day. This year,the CNE is hosting a three day Pony Club Festival, with com- petition in showjumping. dressage and Prince Phillip Games on each day. This is the first time there has been dressage competi- tion at the CNE. The Pony Club Festival runs from Sat. Aug. 29 to Mon. Aug. 31, with entries expected from all Eastern Canadian Pony Club Regions and possibly also some from Western Canada. Dressage is a system for training horse and rider that has its roots in ancient Greece. All work is done on the flat. The rider learns proper use of the natural aids - hands, legs, and seat - to guide and control the horse. The horse learns balance, straightness, rhythm, impulsion ( where forward movement is driven by the hind - extension of steps) and shortening of Dress builds obedience and bility in the r.. .very im- ter jumping Dressage when wars on horseback, could mean between life the mounted then, the of Dressage rs Above the here horses to rear, leap, art command strategies. the Grouted'* only in very ding schools Spanish Riding enna. where the y Lippizan derrtohstrate their Ung crowds. emphasize canter on a and in circles learns to carry and that of his safety and Horses also learn co unand with P wed �- rem im- seconds. require the ngthen and (extension turn on ck chides evM , to ba aicog the cen- arena in a line called a on a the feet other ( half added. as is trot - spot (piaBe).ch kuru at each stride ( one -tempi) so that the horse appears to be skipping, and a high- stepping very collected trot ( passage) . In Dressage competi- tions, each horse rider combination performs a set test before a judge. The competitor with the best marks wires. The test will require the rider to do one thing. ..say. trot, from one letter to another, then change what is to be done at that letter, sav, canter. Circles must be round, not square, and of a required usually ally 3D or 15, or to er metres, and the ridmust ride these "by eye". 7be test will say, "Canter 20 metre circle at E" for ex- ample. In addition to marking on how accurately the horse and rider performed the test, the judge will give marks on the paces of the horse, the obedience of the horsc, and the position and seat of the rider. Success in Dressage requires a lot of practice, discipline and sound training, as well as talent. Dressage has been grow- ing in popularity in this area since the 1906 World Dressage Championships were held at Cedar Valley, Ontario, at what is now the Eglinton Equestrian Club.
