Registration for classes Stewart Storie was present to outline for trustees the legal implications of challenging Bill 20 which. when passed into law, would require the Durham Board of Education to im- plement Junior Kindergarten by September 1994. He advis- ed that at this time his firm can find no basis on which the board could base a challenge, and that a challenge would likely be unsuccessful. Failure to comply with Bill 20 could result in the board being responsible for court costs incurred and in the Ministry of Education withholding grant money. which comprises about 39 percent of the board's an- nual revenue. In response to this legal opinion, the board passed a motion saying it would not make anv final determina- tion about challenging the legality of certain section of Bill 20 until the Bill is proclaimed into law Trustees also will forward a letter to the Muisstry, with copies to all local rneaa. political represen- tatives and boards of education which have not implemented Junior Kindergarten programs, stating that it is unreasonable to enforce the implementation of Junior Kindergarten at this time, when unemployment is high and the eco nano climate is so poor, unless sufficient provincial fun- ding is provided. Supenntendent of Educa- tion Area 5 Carol Yeo and Early Years Officer Pat Prentice presented to trustees a supplementan report giving further detail, as requested at the previous board meeting, in the area_, of Program Ser- vices. Human Resources. Accommodation, Com- munication and Financial Implications. After clarification and discus- sion, the board approved motions to prepare to pro- vide programs for children from age 3 years 8 months if required to do so by legislation; to develop a plan to implement a tradi- tional Junior Kindergarten program, where ap- propriate, to serve children in all communities; and to initiate a process of com- munity consultation to develop a network of up to 12 Early Years Alternative Lead Programs, where viable and where parents guardians indicate general support for this op- tion.

Abonginal Senate seats should be additional to provincial and territorial seats, rather than drawn from any province or temtorv's allocation of Senate seats." No wonder our native peoples are not complaining. In "No. 11 Categones of Legislation" item 2 states "Legislation materially affecting French language or French culture." Item 4 says "Initial classification of bills should be by the originator of the bill. With the exception of legislation affecting French language or French culture. appeals should be determined by the Speaker of the House of Commorts. following cortsultation with the Speaker of the Senate. " Note that the English language and culture are not noted in this document. In "No. 12 Approval of Legislation" the third paragraph gives more protection for the French language and culture. It says "Balls that materially affect French language or French culture would require approval by a majority of Senators voting and by a majority of the ]Francophone Senators voting. The House of Commons would not be able to override the defeat of a Bill in this category by the Senate." The document goes on to give French extra powers. "in No. 14 Double Majority.. this section says "The originator of a bill should be responsible for designating whether it materially affects French language or French culture Each designation should be subject to appeal to the Speaker of the Senate ruder rules to be established by the Senate.

Canada's 3rd.Astronaut To Reach For The Stars Astronaut Steve MacLean will become the third Cana- dian to reach for the stars when the Space Shuttle Columbia blasts off from Kennedy Space Center this fall. " I can't tell you how much I am looking forward to going into space in October." says MacLean. • 111 really will be a childhood dream come true... MacLean will be one of six astronauts aboard Columbia who will work together as a flight team during the mne-day STS -52 mission. Each astonaut will be assigned different roles and rsponsibilities to be carried out throughout the flight. As a payload specialist. MacLean will be responsible for conducting a set of Canadian scientific experiments known as CANER -2. The experiments will forts upon space technology. space science. materials processing and life sciences. Thr CA EX set of expenme nts was florin in 1964 with Canada's first astronaut in space. Dr. Marc Garneau- One of the most important CANEX-2 experiments is the Space Vision System (SVS i developed by the National Research Council. Spar :aerospace and the Canadian Space Agency (CSA). The Space Vision System is a machine vi- sion system designed to assist in the operations of the Canadarm. a robotic arm which is used to iaurx-h and retrieve satellites in space from the cargo bay of the shut- tle. The S% S in effect gives "eyes" to the Canadarm by pro- viding exact information on the location, onentation and motion of an object such as a satellite. The Space Vision System will also be evaluated for possible use in the design of an artificial vision system for the Canadian Mobile Ser- vicing System 1ISS for use on the Space Station Freedom'. Canadian astronaut Bjarni Tryggvason will be the alter- nate Payload Specialist for this masslon and is prepared to replace Dr. MacLean should he not be able to fly. Born in Ottawa. MacLean holds a Bachelor's degree and a PhD in physics from Toronto's fork University. In 1963, he was one of the original sir Canadian astronauts recruited from a pool of over 4.0m applications. Two years later. MacLean was designated as the Canadian payload specialist to fly with the CANEX-2 set of Canadian ex- periments. Tamed with two children, he enjoys hiking, carneirw gymnastics and flying Here and There August Housing Resales Surge Residential resales in Canada's major housing markets surged 20.1 percent in August compared to the same month a year ago.

Zero Garbage Day Wednesday Sept.30 The Recycling Council of Ontario IRCO) is challenging all (ntarians to be "garbage free" for one day during Waste Reduction Reek. Wed. Sept. alt has again officially been declared -Zero Garbage Day". "The garbage crisis has not gone away," says RCO Ex- ecutive Director. John Hanson. "Today, more than ever, we need to make the connection between our consumer society. the garbage it creates, and the resulting impact on the environment." Hanson offered the following facts to en- courage Ontario residents to participate in Zero Garbage Day and to reduce waste every day of the year: On The average person in tario produces one tonne of waste each year. About one third of municipal solid waste is packaging. Pard and food waste combined, makes up almost 37% of the municipal solid waste stream. A 100 watt light bulb will operate for four hours on the energy saved by recycling one glass bottle. Nineteen trees are saved for every tonne of newspaper recvcled. A television set will operate for 3 hours on the energy sav- ed by recycling one aluminum can. The RCO offers the following tips to prepare Ontario residents to get through the day without creating any gar- bage. At Hume Whenever possible, purchase beverages in refillable bot- tles. Shop at a store that sells food in bulk and bring your own reusable bags to minimize packaging waste. Compost all organic kitchen and yard waste (except dairy and meat products ) . If you don't already have a com- poster, look into getting one today. Pack meals in reusable containers. Take fruit or vegetables for a garbageless snack. Say no to junk mail. Call the Recycling Council of Ontario for further information on exercising your "Right to Refuse" unsolicited advertising flyers. Recirculate magazines by offering them to a hospital or senior citizen's home. Reuse unwanted clothes and hotmehold items by donating them to a social service organization. At Nark Use wasteless forms of communication: meetings. E-mail. computer fax. and telephones. Copy both sides of paper. Circulate one copy instead of making multiple copies. Reuse envelopes and file folders. Avoid pre-packaged individual creamers and sugar packets in the office kitchen. Buy a bag of sugar and a car- ton of milk instead to reduce packaging waste. Set-up your own office "Blue Box" system if your building isn't served by one. Take turns bringing recvclables home to set out for curbside collection. Encourage the cafeteria to switch to reusable cups, plates and cutlery from disposables and to compost kitchen waste. Start a 311s committee and explore the many ways to reduce waste at work. Letter To The Editor Education Pay Nikes To The Editor: Re: The Scarborough Board of Education Pay Hike How can the trustees vote a salary increase with eight votes but require ten votes to reopen the question" i would now like to ask the seven trustees who voted to re- open the question to do the following 1. Refuse the pay increase. 2 Resign from the board so that the seven who are left will not have a quorum to operate and an election would have to be called. If the seven trustees do the above they would be guaranteed retaining their seats. If they will not take this action then they are no better than the other trustees - the 'Greedy Seven'. Their comments to the media and at the Monday meeting were nothing but face saving lies and show a lack of moral fibre and principle. They too will lose their seats at the next election along with the other 'Greedies'. We must form a citizens' coalition to regain control of our democratic rights. Our national anthem states - 'We stand on guard for thee' and applies to internal as well as external anarchy.

But for 250 fatherless boys, the month has a far different connota- tion. They're boys on the Big Brothers of Metro's waiting list. Their main concern is that September's Big Brothers' Month campaign is suc- cessful in recruiting 25o volunteers and finding a special friend for each of them. "The recruitment of the necessary number of volunteers has been ex- tremely difficult over the past year. forcing many boys on our waiting list to wait for nearly a year for a Big Brother." says the Agency's Vice -President. Cal Cochrane.

See Bird Banding In Tommy Thompson Park Bird banding will take place at Tommy Thompson Park on Sun. Sept. 27, and Sun. Oct. 11. Bird banding is One of the rruist impor- tant ways of gathering in- formation on the nesting and wintering areas and migration routes of birds. Birds will be caught in a mist net by experienced, licensed barders. Thev will then be identified, measured and weighed, and a small aluminum band will be placed around the bird's leg. The band has an identification number on it that is recorded and stored in a computer in Washington, D.C. More than one million birds are banded like this each year in North America alone. Tommy Thompson Park IS an important stopover for migratory birds. Visitors will be directed to the best bird viewing loca- tion in the park and given birdw•atching tips. Don't forget to bring your camera and binoculars! Tommy Thompson Park is a unique urban park on Toronto's eastern water- front.

Visitors can walk, cycle or ride a shuttle van to this location. The shuttle van operates every half-hour from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Improvement In Literacy Skills Could Open Up A New World An improvement in one's literacy skills can open up a whole new world of op- portunities. This Fall Scarborough Women's Centre plans to extend its 1:1 literacy pro- gram for adult women with low literacy skills. Each woman will work on a one- on-one basis with a female volunteer tutor. The Women's Centre was established in 1962 -to- pro- . vide information, ecruca- tion and support services for a wide variety of Scar- borough women. There are also a number of workshops and groups for women concerning various issues, and four different 1:1 volunteer programs. If you know someone who could benefit, or would like to be a volunteer tutor, call the Volunteer Coordinator, from Metro's ethnic com- munities. We could use at least 50 men from the black community alone." The need for volunteers varies across Metro. with the highest number. 70. re- quired in Scarborough. 60 needed in North York. 40 in Etobicoke. 3.5 in Toronto, 25 in York and 20 in East York.

Lead Contamination Is Dropping Along Hwy.401 Lead contamination in gram along the sides of Highway 401 through Scar- borough and North York has declined steadily since 1%2 because of the phase- out of leaded gasoline. ac- cording to study results released by the Ministry of the Environment. The report notes a mark- ed decline in lead in grass at the two sampling areas near the Warden and Bayview interchanges bet- ween 19-2 and 19%. when the most recent samples were taken. Grass samples in t972 showed lead levels as high as 56 ppm in 1972 and 48 ppm in 1979. The 1990 peak was 5 ppm. Over the same period, daily traffic volume in- creased from 126.4W to 3os,50o past the Warden study area. There were also indications that noise barriers. built along the highway during that time, are reducing the spread of air contaminants and pro- tecting ro- tarting property behind them from highway air pollution. In spite of the decrease of vegetation contamination - primarily due to airborne depositnon on plant foliage, the study indicates that lead is continuing to ac- cumulate in soil along the highway. Sod samples at the surface and as deep as 10 centimetres have nsen over the 18 years. with one sample, on the north edge of the highway containing 74o ppm of lead. The upper limit usually Gond in ur- ban areas with no known local contamination source is 500 ppm. The actions level for soil removal in con- taminated areas near Metro area lead smelters was 500 ppm. Across the highway, one sample from a site pro- tected behind a noise bar- rier showed surface lead levels had dropped from 767 ppm in 1979 to 200 ppm in 1990.

O® [9emn of Canada enc. 09192 Page 6 THE NEWS POST Wed. September r3, 19l2 Bill Watt's Worlds ON STAGE: A good work can survive many transmutations. A case in point is The Secret Garden, the beloved novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett. First published in 1911. it has been dramatiz- ed several times for stage and screen. Indeed, a new screen version is in current production. We've read that there have been musical versions in the past but they are unknown to us. The latest resurrection of the book is another musical currently on stage at the Royal Alexandra. One can only remark with regret that the old war horse should have been left in pasture. . .or perhaps. a secret garden. Visuallv, the show is stunning in a Coutts Hallmark sort of way but the book and Ivncs of Marsha Norman and the music of Lucy Simon (sister of Carp• and Joan- na) do not well serve the original. One supposes that bis. Norman is to be applauded for her attempt to explain the characters of the two uncles but it detracts from the main theme of the two children and their spiritual and physical regeneration. One neither expects nor en- joys the intrusive sugges- tion of Jane Evre's Edward Rochester or Hin&*s aim uncle in a narrative about children. ..or not this nar- rative an)way. The music' Cotton candy sweetness with morn value. such as it is, in the lyrics than the melodies. To employ a favourite criterion, you won't remember any of the songs upon leaving the theatre, let alone feel inclined to bum them. To be fair• opening rpt was plagued by bad sound and most of the lyrics were lost in orchestra seating. Come to that, far too many spoken words were unintelligabie. even mak- ing allowance for the dreadful dialects. ( One wonders at the apparent absence of a competent dialogue coach.) Perhaps with better sound, the songs will improve but we rather doubt it. Caittinuing to be fair, it must be said that the songs, such as they might be. are performed well by the com- petent cast. The two child leads alter- nate. On opening night they were played by Melody Kay and Sean Considine. The former, as the young girl orphaned by the deaths of her parents in colonial India and sent to live with her gloomy uncle. plays her role with suitable spunk and considerable heart while winning the heart of the audience. The latter plays the role of her invalid cousin. So good is his performance as the selfish death -obsessed little ratter• one quites hates the insufferable little beggar initially and almost wishes that he never becomes well. Uncle Archibald is por- trayed by Kevin McGuire. The gentleman does what is possible with the role but Ms. Norman's meddling has made it such that he doesn't really have much with which to work. He sings nicely however and with sincerity The finest songs are given to Anne Runolfson as Lily and are winningly delivered. The rest of the largish cast cannot be mentioned here because of space limitations but must be ap- plauded for skill and a cer- tain elan. Indeed. The Secret Garden deserves applause and custom for what it is. Regrettably. one feels that it's not what it should have been. One can only conjure up the hoary cliche. If it works don't fix it. One wonders if Marsha '.Norman is aware of it. DIMER THEATRE: You're in for several pleasant surpnses with I Hate Hamlet at Stage West Theatre Restaurant. Dinner theatre. for the most part, is light. There's a difference, though, bet- ween what is light and what is mere fluff. 1 Hate Hamlet is hih i xWv funny but has substance. The laughter doesn't come from situa- tions or even. the dehvery of the lines: it comes primarily from" the play itself. Like all good plays• one could enjoy simply reading the script. Add good performances, however. and one has a show weA worth repeat viewing. Hem's the prem ae. A young actor fresh from west coast television soap opera moves to New York and is cast, against his wishes. in the title role of a public theatre produch n of Hamlet. He is rented an apartment once occupied by John Barrymore. arguably the twentieth cen- tury's freest Hamlet and most certainly a hard drinking rouE. The ghost of Barrymore appears and coaches the young man in the most difficult role of all. More than that though, he instills in him a genwine love for the legitimate theatre generally and the works of Shakespeare par- ticularly. Robert Vaughan plays Barrymore and here is one of the several pleasant sur- pises. One has always ad- mired the work of Mr. Vaughan and recognized his stature as an actor. However, one is surprised. though shouldn't be, at his way with comedy. Delivery is everything in comedy. Of course it should be direct and definite but never to the detriment of the author. in this case. Paul Rudnick. Mr. Vaughan gives full measure to his lines while also paying proper homage FAIRVIEW LIBRARY THEATRE 35 Famnew Mall Drive, Sheppard Ave E at Dori Milts Road Around and About Your Dining &Entertainment Guide to the character of Bar- rymore Well, perhaps homage isn't the correct word. Jack Barrymore wasn't a nice man albeit he was a charming man. His movements are quick and vital, his spoken words reveal true insight and his stage presence is impec- cable. One is always aware when Mr. Vaughan is on stage, though, he never upstages or otherwise detracts. His fellow per- foryners must surely enjoy working with him as much as the audience enjoys wat- ching and hearing him. Among those actors. Rod Wilson is properly bemus- ed and confused in the role of a relative neophyte be- ing asked to portray Hamlet. Barbara Radecki is all that's required of his vapid love. All Frappier contributes nicely as a former love of Barrvrruore though why a German ac- cent should be felt necessary escapes us. Perhaps it's merely to lend credence to lines such as A have no ideas. I'm Ger- Dana Brooks is essence of bimbo as a sexy real estate agent but broad comic h000ms are offered to Michael Lamport as an actor's agent with no knowledge in or apprecia- tion for acting. Capering about Bike a manic Robin Williams, he virtually dynamatiaes i we're bor- rowing the word from the late Augustus Bridle) the stage with his brief ap- pearances. D. Lynn Meyers directs as tightly as is possible given the nature of the work while stili allowing her actors to enjoy. As a play. I Hate Hamlet can evoke only one criticism and it can be ex- plained away by the need for artistic licence. True thespiiars never refer to Hamlet by name as they do here. The role is referred to only as The Prince. It's a theatrical superstition much in the manner of ac- tors never referring by title to Macbeth; it's always The Scottish Play. We love I Hate Hamlet and so will you all. FOOT :NOTE: At the opem M perfor- mance of I Hate Hamlet there was a delicious piece or irony for the cognoscen- ti. In delivering instructions to the players, The Prince delivers a caveat. "I had as TME WALTZ OF TME TOREADORS byjean Anouilb Directed by L. Gartb Allen SEPT. 17 TO OCT. 3 Thurs. to Sat., Wed.

IN THE CLUBS: It used to be that musical performances were what is now euphemistically term- ed Live_ Mutidars were expected to be and were visual entertainers. Recor- dings and tatterly, radio was merely a means to satisfy the curiosity of hearing musicians Playing or singing without the presence of a visible au- dience. Now, or so it seems, rungs are king and many musicians actually seen ill at ease in front of an audience. ( Sometimes, they're almost contemp- tuous but that's fodder for another column.) How refreshing to report that Alex Formosa is an entertainer as well as a musician. We caught up with the gentleman at Ultra Saari for the debut of his self -titled album. The food was good before hand (great X -Rays ribs and wings), the ale was supplied by Upper Canada Breweries (Formosa Spr- u4syopted out) and the atmosphere was convivial. Then, an came Alec For- mosa. Dressed like a blind Crocodde Dundee, he mov- ed briskly around the stage, cracked wise with the audience and sang with sprit and enthusiasm, not the seeming ennui of many performers on the musical scene. His music, is standard Raw but somehow it conies across well. He sings with power but a certain plain- tiveness as well. He sings the way Neil Yang wishes he could.

The difference between the two was that the latter had talent, superb talent. Cage played and wrote "Music" for electric blenders, brake drums, springs, screws. nails and other hardware. Now, along comes Tom Wailes with his latest album for Island Records_ It's -made with clattering sticks, rusted farm equip- ment, choking demons, newspaper chppings..

But, we can't imagine anyone doing covers of any of the tracks. REAL MUSIC: The Canadian Opera Company is holding audi- tions during October for singers, apprentice coaches and stage direc- tors.

Will Liberals See The Red In The Rouge Liberals in the federal riding of Scarborough - Rouge River gathered on Sept. 18th at Kallv's Markham & Nugget , for a fundraising event. Guest speaker for the everting was David Smith, former minister in Trudeau's cabinet, and currently. chairman of LPC's campaign commit- tee for Ontario. Other notables present were the riding MP Derek Lee. and two challengers: Gulam Mohamed and Gobinder Randhaw-a. Much of the evening was routine till the guest speaker opened the floor to questions. A question as to why the committee ignored executive request to hold a nomination meeting in August somewhat surpris- ed the chairman. The reply was to refer to the letter sent to the presi- dent of the association which basically stated that the committee was ceding to the wishes of the incum- bent. This did not sit well with some of the Liberals in attendance recalling past nominations when the democratic rights and will of the people took a second seat. It appears that battle lines have been drawn when the president. Bhagat Taggar invited the special guest, the incumbent and the two challengers for a '.photo op". as a show of unity regardless of the out- come of the "yet to be an- nounced" nomination meeting. '.Many were not impressed when the incum- bent refused to "dignify" the opportunity. Special thanks must go to Vera Brookes and her com- mittee for organizing the event on behalf of the fun- draising VP and associa- tion.

At the Scarborough Bluffs Sailing Club Open House on Sun Aug. 30th Commodore Max Perchanok and Social Director Gtvnnis Ward officWly welcomed members and guests to the club. ) Photo - Bob Watson History Of Scarborough Bluffs Sailing Club Scarborough Bluffs Sailing Club began in 1719 when a grow of dinghy sailing members of Cathedral Bluffs Yacht Club came to the conclusion that their interests would be better served in a separate organization designed specifically for their needs. Accordingly, m 1980, the Pro- vince of Ontario issued a Letters Patent for the incorpora- tion of Scarborough Bluffs Sailing Club with the specific od ject being stated "To encourage and conduct dry sadulg ac- tivity in the Bluffers Paris Basin." A parcel consisting of approximately five acres of land and water at the Bluffers Park landfill site was leased to the club by Metro Toronto with the requirement that all future development was to be approved by Metro Parks and Pro- perty Department and Metropolitan Toronto Regional Con- servation Authority. The site consisted of raw fill graded to within six inches of final grade level. During the initital years of the club's existence the Primary regtnreMent was to convert a landfill site into a useable facility. This involved the construction of gabian walls, docks, and a concrete launch ramp as well as digging sewer lines. installing a gravel parking area and initial larniscaping. The majority of this work was performed by the members of the club with some help from outside con- tractors. The original clubhouse was a converted portable school room which was used as a construction office in the early development days of the Bluffers Park basin but was ac- quired by Scarborough Bluffs Sailing Club in 1.980 and fur- ther converted for use as a -'temporary" clubhouse until it was closed in 1990. The first serials attempt to stimulate ideas for a new clubhouse began in 1985 when the concept of using a prefabricated cottage design was approved by the members. Initial plants were purchased in 1986 and the foun- dation was poured and the exterior shell was erected in 1987. While the original cottage design was amended to provide for two fronts, sailing school facilities and other modifica- tions designed by the construction committee, completion of the interior was further complicated by several modifications required to comply with the municipal building code for use as a "commercial" building, in- chxling the construction of fire -rated walls and doors. Consequently, completion of the interior spanned a period from 1986 to 1992. Once again, a great deal of this work was perfumed by club members with some assistance from outside contractors. Total completion of the property requires improved out- side storage facilities and final landscaping. It is hopoed that a permanent way will be found to discourage the geese so that further landscaping will not be destroved by them. In spite of the prolonged period of construction, S.B.S.C. has not forgotten that its prime purpose is to encourage sailing and has developed a sailing school and an active racing program. The club has hosted Ontario. Canadian and North American championship regattas and has earn- ed a reputation of being a friendly, welcoming host at these events. With the total facility close to completion, Scarborough Bluffs Sailing Club looks forward to a future as the premier dry sailing club in the Metro region. ...................................................ter... _...
