Opinion a page for expression for you and us Letter To The Editor Premier Rae - An Ocean Or A Pond? A Chinese proverb says, "an ocean is big because it can accommodate 100 rivers”. This metaphorically describes a leader who can accommodate many diverse points of view. Do we have one' The current standoff between Art Lymer, leader of the Metro Toronto Police Association and Premier Rae, leader of the Government of Ontario, has been brewing for some time and should not be allowed to further escalate. The polarization is beneficial to no one. This controversy is simply the culmination of the palpable anti -police bias of the provincial government. While the government response to the militant minority groups and other disestablishmentarians that now haunt the halls of Queen's Park is an involuntary reflex, its response to the equally valid concerns of the poice has been to ignore or devalue their experience. The streets of multicultural. multilingual Metro Toronto are different from other cities' The street smarts ac- cumulated by poice officers must be given due considera- tion in formulating public policy. The perceptions of various special interest groups are constantly validated - the government has yirtualh• become a minority catering ry seice, automaticalh• responding to every perceived slight. The police must be granted the legitimacy and in- tegrity of their perceptions based on accumulated ex- penence as well. It is this denial, this devaluation of their practical ex- penence that is regarded as a frontal assault on their self- esteem. How long can anyone be denigrated, before becom- ing demoralized' Surely a socialist government should understand and sympathize with the frustration and demoralization that is the inevitable consequence of this pervasive anti -police prejudice. The MTP are technically in violation of the Police Ser- vices Act: however. there are moor serious past incidents of union illegalities that have been disregarded to facilitate and expedi to the resolution of conflicts. 1 respectfully urge Mr. Rae. the Premier of Canada's most populous province, to demonstrate the sprit of com- promise and accommodation brought to bear in fashioning the Charlottetown Accord. set aside his precondition for mheeting with the MTPA, and be like an ocean rather than a posted Gordon J Chong D.D.S. Member Toronto Mayor's Committee on Cammanity and Race Rela- tions About Our Trees Mr. W.H. Merritt in his letter dated Nov. 11 92 is opposed to the Ravine By-law Scarborough Council has proposed for legislation. Can we not help but notice a similarity to Mr. %k-mtt's arguments against this proposed by-law for ravine protec- tion• and those we heard opposed to market value assess- ment" The very fact that Mr. Merritt does not know or make a distinction between the value of a sapling or a tree on the edge of a hill or an embankment and that of a tree on a flat field is the very reason such by-laws are crucial. Wilde trees whether on an embankment or on a flat field are valuable and should be protected. Trees on the side of a bank or an incline are more drastically required. By-laws are like the rules to any game they apply equally to all. Most playerswill obey such rules and not object to them but at times temptations become too great and rules may be broken. Once a team or a rule becomes disorganized the correc- tive measures are usually too late and much more costly than preventative rules. Uniform preventative rules are not that much more costly to administer than selective ad- ministrated rules.

Scarborough Agincourt Ontario is continuing to experience a very high unemployment rate and it is becoming increasingly clear that the NDP's economic plans aren't working, Liberal Treasury Critic Gerry Phillips said recently in response to the latest unemployment statistics. "Ontario's job prospects continue to be bleak," said Phillips, M.P.P. for Scarborough -Agincourt. "Ontario used 'to be Canada's economic heartland, now it continues to face heavy unemployment... Today's Ontario unemployment rate of 11.2 per cent means that 66,000 fewer people are working in Ontario than were a year ago. Particularly hard hit are a number of ma- jor centres in Ontario that face unemployment rates that continue to climb and are above the national average of 11.3 per cent. Those cities include Toronto at 12.8 per cent (up from 12.3 per cent) . In his October economic forecast, the Treasurer said in 1992 the unempoyment rate in Ontario would be 10.8 per cent," Phillips said. "Clearly, after looking at today's numbers, that target will not be achieved." Ontario's youth unemployment rate is unacceptably higher at 16.6 per cent, than the average for the rest of Canada. Unemployment in the construction sector is at a whopp- ing 20.8 per cent. Since September 1990 when Bob Rae took office. 115.000 manufacturing jobs and 65,000 construction jobs have been lost in Ontario. —Ibere is little hope in these figures that Ontario's economy will pick up in the near future," Phillips said. "Bob Rae's economic plan simply is not worki rig. " ................................. Queen's Park Report From Elinor Caplan M.P.P. Oriole f Controversial changes to Ontario's labour law were -ram- med through the legislature this weep by the XDP govern- ment despite strong opposition from the Liberal caucus. the business community and other groups. The commitment of Lyn McLeod and the Liberal caucus in this issue is clear: if a Liberal government is elected, it will repeal any section of Bob Rae's labour law that drives jobs out of Ontario. Our prime consideration with this legislation has always been, and will continue to be, its im- pact on jobs and the economy. Bill 40 will lower investee confidence in Ontario and hamper economic recovery. According to a study by Ernst and Young. Ontario could ase 295.ODo jobs and $9.8 bMim in investment during the next five years because of this legislation. The government disputes this report, but it has refused to conduct its own job iugxwt study. The reality is that jobs are already being khat as a duvict result of Bill 40: Dare Foods in Kitchener has cancelled Plans to open a new plant in Ontario because of this labour legislation. and long Maradacttring in Mississauga is planning to build a new plant in Michigan rather than On- tano as a direct result of this legislation. These labour law changes will polarize business and labor and threaten investment in Ontario at a time when we need policies to create a positive climate for investment in the province. The Liberal caucus tabled a number of positive amend- ments to Bill 40. including: a requirement that full and part- time workers should only be consolidated into one union if a majority of members of both groups vote in favour: and a requirement that a secret ballot certification vote be held in all cases where 30 per cent of workers support unionization. We need to create an environment in this province that encourages job -creating investmerits. In the case of this legislation, there is clear evidence that it will not create one new job, nor will it prevent one existing job from leaving the province. Metro Toronto Home Prices To Rebound in 1993 On Stronger Demand Metro Toronto can expect increases in home buying de- mand and growth in the average price of resale homes in 19913, according to forecasts released by Royal LePage. The Royal LePage Market Survey, which forecasts housing market trends for 11 Canadian cities, indicates that govern- ment incentives and low interest rate levels should continue to stimulate the Metro market into 1993. "Metro Toronto will be a housing market in recovery in 1993," said Gino Romanese, Royal LePage senior vice president. "For home buyers, the good news is that average resale prices will increase only 2% to $219,800 from $215,500 this year. For home sellers, the good news is demand will increase as well." ----------------------- ----- ---- Give A Gift That Lasts All Year!

November 18, 1992 Bill Watt's Worlds ON YOUR 'FOES: The enduring popularity of such ballets as Swan Lake. Sleeping Beauty, Coppellia and such others is easily explained -good story lines and glorious music. But, how to explain La Fille Mal Gardee? which is part of the Na- tional Ballet's current season at The O'Keefe. Premiered in 1789, the story is a mere trifle ... lus- ty farm boy loves the daughter of a wealthy farm widow who aspires to a higher marriage for her. Girl loves boy. They marry. or will marry, with maman's blessing. The music by Ferdinand Herold is largely unknown except to balletomanes and not notably melodious though decidely not unpleasurable. Indeed. the fine John Lanchberry ar- rangements of the 1828 ver- sion make the music tan- talizingly memorable. Yet. La Fille remains popular and we've long since lost count of how manv times we've seen and enjoyed it. Perhaps one shouldn't explore the whys or win• nots of La Fille but rather the hows. 1 dreadful com- position admittedly but stay with us.) Sir Frederick Ashton has choreographed the work with spirit and Elan wink remaining faithful to the structure and conconmi- tant strictures of true Terp- sichore. The National's dancers seem genuinely to enjoy what Sir Frederick has piled upon them to do. On the evening of our at- tendance Martine Lamy danced the title role with Serge Lavoie making his debut as Colas her amor presque, marqu*- Alright. so our French is rusty after too much time in Quebec') Martine Lamy is simply exquisite. She is a tiny little creature but her portrayal is that of a daughter of the soil in Spnngtime. She's not quite in rut. being far too demure, but is decidely eager to weicorne the joy of true physical love. Miss Lamy conveys this in her acting and counterpoints. with her superb dancing. Watch for and enjoy her classic attitude in the Maypole dance. To the role of Colas, Serge Lavoie brings the lumbering gait of the rustic melded to the strut of a Petrucchio, a role he has made singularly his own in The Taming of the Shrew. Do not, however, dismiss his characterization as essence of pastiche. In both his acting and dancing, he is Colas. There's a new comic find in the person of Philippe Dubuc in the role of the simpleton, Alain. His is quite the most winning and physically impressive rendering of the role since the departure of David Roxander from the com- pany. Jacques Gorrisen is along as the widowSimone and. as always, brings the house to admiration over his clog dancing that almost approaches down and dirty. And, of course. there is our own Robert Helpmann in the person of Charles Kirby as the bumbling farmer Thomas. Dare one sav in rural terms that Sir Frederick and The National have made a silk purse out of an essential sow's ear? One dares. EN(IME: Opening tonight at The O'Keefe is the final presen- tation of The National's pre -holiday season. It's an evening of short worm: Les Sylphides, Musings and Elite Syncopations. Les Syphides set to the music of Chopin is quite simply one of the loveliest of the classic ballets and we have long held the view that it's the perfect work for anyone experiencing ballet for the fust time. As for Elite Syrneopa- tions. what is there to say? This delightful work features the nicely naughty choreography of the late - how sad to write that! -Sir Kenneth MacMillan set to the ragtime music of Joplin, Lamb and other masters of the germ.

Re"M Wed. November 18, 1992 THE POST Page 7 (Continued from Page 1) Review School Writing Durham Board of Educa- tion believes that they should be given many op- portunities, both at home and at school, to read and write stories. Parents can help in this area by reading with children and en- couraging visits to the local library. The Durham Board will conduct additional writing reviews within the next 5 years to assess both the process of writing and the finished product. Assistance or in-service will be provided for teachers to help them find effective, ongoing methods of improving the writing performance of students. The evaluation teams were pleased overall with the students' mastery of the process of writing. Grammar, punctuation and spelling were all handl- ed very well at both grade levels. They were concern- ed. however. about the con- tent of some of the stories written by the students. The stories contained many examples of both violence and sexism. Some stories showed significant media influence. that is. they were patterned after the actions of popular "heroes.. and featured ex- plicit dusciptions of violent acts. WWW teachers guide the academic growth of adolescents, they aur only able to observe and res- pond espond to their social, in- tellectual and physical growth. Teachers often recognize factors that in- fluence the behaviour of students. but they are not in a position to change those influencing factors without the assistance of others. Television. radio. videos. movies. magazines, books. along with in- fluences in the homie and community, play an impor- tant role in the intellectual jobsOntario • Training g and social growth of children. Changing those negative influences must be a shared responsibility of the parents, the school and society. In response to its findings, the Durham Board of Education will conduct further investiga- tion into the extent of media influence on students and provide assistance to teachers in dealing with violence and sexism in student writing.

Bd.Of Trade Executive Summary Environmental Bill of Rights The board lists three primary concerns with the Draft Ontario Environmen- tal Bill of Rights: the public disclosure of con- fidential information. fur- ther delays in the issuance of approvals, and the Public uncertainty about government procedures and standards in applica- tions for appoval. Furthermore, the board is concerned about the potential for additional bureaucracy, a strain on government resources and unnecessary costs to in- dustry in carrying on business in Ontario. The board requests that the provincial ministries involved in the impiemew cation of the bill demonstrate that the economic health and stability of the province will not be affected adversely by the Draft Bill. As it is difficult to assess the full impact d the Draft Bill until regulations are drafted. the board requests an opportunity to comrnerit m regulations before they are enacted. Waste Calleeties Sen•ices The board is opposed to extending City of Toronto waste collection services to the industrial. commercial and institutional (ICI) sec- tor in addition to the city's current collection of residential waste. The board believes the City of Toronto should not undermine the efficiencies and cost -savings now being Provided to the taxpayer through the current collec- tion of ICI waste by the private -sector. There is no evidence that the ICI sector is not currently receiving cost-efficient solid waste management service from the private sector com- panies. Solid Waste Management Fees Metro Toronto is con- sidering reducing its tipp- ing fee in order to recoup revenues that have been lost as a result of waste go- ing to less expensive land- fill sites outside of the region. The board urges Metro to set rates that are competitive with surroun- ding regions, with built-in incentives to generators and handlers of waste to in- crease their 3Rs initiatives. Social Assistance Reform The recent Metro Report on Welfare Reform em- phasizes the need to re- orient social assistance giving the highest priority to approaches that will con- cretely and directly assist current recipients to become self-reliant. The board supports the thrust of the report as this direc- tion is consistent with the board's view on social assistance reform. Comprehensive Edreatim Policy Reacting to the planned release of a Cornitrehen- sive Education Policy ( CEP ) for elementary and secondary education in On- tario, the board urges the Minister of Education to release the CEP documents as a draft for adequate consultation among all groups which have a stake in education, in particular the business community. Municipal Elections The board continues to play an active role in corn- menting on the local elec- tion process in Ontario. The board's overriding objec- tives are to generate in- creased voter interest and Participation in local elec- tions.develop nd informed electorencourage qualified candidates seek public office. In a letter to the Ontario Ministry of Municipal Af fairs, the board makes several suggestions to im- prove the process. in- cluding: an earlier nomina- tion date to finalize can- didates for a Particular of- fice sooner, an extension of the revisions period for the voter list, tax credits at municipal elections, a stan- dard accenting software Package for candidates. the right of business people who own or are tenants of property in a municipality to vote. and removal of restrictions on advertising. The board mattes further recornmendations on how to increase voter turnout, including earlier polling hours and an extra ad- vance poll. Employment Equity Board President Gem Meinzer and represen- tatives of the Human Resources Committee met with Juanita Westmoreland-Traore, On- tario Employment Equity Commissioner and Dr. Bobby Siu, Senior Policy Analyst, to discuss Bill 79 providing for Employment Equity. The board expressed its serious concern with the provision for seniority rights in the Bill. The board noted that, if employers are expected to achieve substantial improvements in hiring, seniority must not be an impediment to selecting people different from those on a seniority recall list. In addition, the board requested a full op- portunity to review and consult on the draft remila- tions that will contain the substance of the instruc- tions and regiarements for employers. Local Airport Autbority The Task Force on the Local Airport Authority. ( LAA ). ( chaired by Board President Gerry Meaner) prepared and unanimously endorsed a report on the structure and scope of an LAA for the Toronto Regim• The report, which stresses the need for urgen- cy, is being forwarded to every region and municipality for approval.

Auto Lusorasce Representatives of the Instance Committee met with the Hoa. Brian Charlton. MPP. Ontario Minister of Financial in- stitutions, to discuss the board's submissions on Bill 164 amending the Ontario automobile insurance system (Apr. 23rd, $992) and the draft Statutory Ac- cident Benefits Schedule (June 23. 1992 i . Regarding the bill, the board reiterated its con- cerns with the major change in the right to sue with respect to non - Pecuniary losses and the restrictions proposed on the right of an insurer to withdraw from the business of a designated class of insurance. The board also expressed its concern with the complexi- ty of the provisions and the higher auto insurance costs represented by the draft schedule.

The wrist shot is a surprise shot that depends on quickness of release and accuracy more than the strength of the shooter. Its quickness is valuable around the opponent's net, where time and space are limited_ The hand grip is similar to the stickhandIing grip, with the lower hand a little further down the shaft for extra power. Start with the puck well back of the body, cupped toward the heel or centre of biadd, with the player's weight on the back leg, and wrist cocked. The player then sweeps the stick across the body, propelling the puck toward the toe of the blade, while weight is transferred to the front foot and the head is looking at the target. To provide power, the lower arm pushes and the upper arm pull. As the puck is released, wrists are snapped through, the bottom wrist fkxing and whipping the stick through low and towards the target. The backhand wrist shot is similar in technique, except that there is a limited transfer of weight. When developing the wrist shot with young players, have them start by practising with tennis balls in a stationary posiltiotn, on and off the ice. shooting at low and high targets Progress to the stationary drill with pucks, and then to having players shoot while skatitowards the boards Players can then progress to drills using goakcaders, mcorporatmg puckhandhng skills For more infomiation of intprtwing your coaching s1d1Ls, cow= the Canadian Ar nauur Hockey Association, 1600 Janes Naismith Dr, Gloucesw, Ontario, KIB 5N4, 613-748-5613; 3M Canada Inc. or the Coaching Association of Canada -Senior Dut r "har::paurr 1. ish National an Syn(hrorvr . :�H'lmmtng (7:.,r.; x:.htpcs (let. 24th and were atio%, -Shen Walter ar1,: t athy Maklney Scarborough Hosts Kickoff The City d Scarborough.

Windward, and Virgin Islands along with the Venezuelan coastal islands of Los Rogues and Tortuga. Passengers can select a 7-, 14- or 28 -day sail by com- bining different itineraries. Due to her unique design and shallow draft, the $100 million Club Med 1 is able to enter harbours and coves too shallow • for other vessels. By mooring off- shore• passengers gain not only more privacy, but also the ability to use the stern sports platform which un- folds from the ship and acts as a marina. Here vacationers wind- surf. sail, snorkel, water- ski. and partake in scuba explorations twice a day. When not sunning around the pools or using the sports equipment, passengers can catch a ship's tender to bathe al a private island beach or take an excursion into town. The ship generally sets sail at sunset for her next port. Itineraries For winter '93, Club hied 1's four distinctive 7 -day Caribbean itineraries depart from her home port, Martinique. She is one of a few ships travelling the southerly route to Los Ro- ques and Tortuga on 7 -day sailings. The Souther•fy Grenadine route No. 1 calls at St. Lucia. Bequia, Barbados. Tobago Cays. Mayreau. and Carriacou. Southern No. 2, the brand new itinerary, stops at Los Ro- ques ( Venezuela ), Tortuga (Venezuela), Carriacou. Barbados, and Mayreau. Northern No. t calls at Les Saintes )French West Indies), St. Barth, Virgin Gorda, Jost Van Dyke, St. Thomas, and St. Kitts. Nor- thern No. 2 includes Marie Galante (French West In- dies), Nevis, Virgin Gorda. St. Martin Tintamarre and Dominica. Ecologically Conscious Inaugurated in February 1990, cub Med 1 measures a full 187 metres with six towering masts and seven sails carrying a total of 2,500 square metres of sail which enable her to achieve speeds of over 11 knots. No small ac- complishment for a 14,000 ton ship. She is under sail 70% of the time in the Caribbean but when extra power is needed, her vibration -free, diesel-electric propulsion system burns a light, high- grade fuel oil, free of most impurities which can con- tribute to the depletion of the ozone layer. Solid wastes are in- cinerated on board, cans and glass are compacted, stored and off-loaded for recycling at the end of each voyage. Club Med 1 is a third larger than any other lux- ury sailing ship on the market yet unlike other ships her size, she accom- modates only 386 passengers assuring them plenty of space to leisurely enjoy all of her facilities. She is completely com- puter operated from the raising of her sails to the charting of her course. A special water ballast system keeps her on an even keel with only a 2 -degree heel. Accommodatiews All staterooms aboard Club Med I are outside and oversized measuring a full I7 square metres with a choice of twin or king-size beds. The smart blue and white interiors feature mahogany wood cabinetry. twin portholes, lots of storage space, and carpeting. The teak -floored bothr'ooms have a shower. hair dryer and terry cloth bathrobes. All staterooms are dou- ble insulted for privacy and corse equipped with in- dividual temperature con- trol, closed circuit tv. radio, telephone and a stocked mini bar. A first for Club Med, attentive room service is available on a 24 -haw basis with breakfast in bed a special- ty. Nkat Makes Club Med 1 Different A trip aboard Club Med 1 is aimed at people who love the idea of sailing bort do not want to be aboard a cramped sailboat hoisting sails, charting and steering the boat's course. She ap- peals to a new breed of ac- tive sailors seeking a dif- ferent experience. All of her sports equip- ment is carried aboard in the Nautical Hall including an air compressor for scuba. Close by are the saunas and massage facilities. The best views from the ship are from the top deck Fitness Centre, while a variety of aerobic, stretch and water exercise classes provide other spor- ting options. Teak chaise lounges are invitingly spac- ed around two outdoor sim- ming pools. All shipboard interiors have an understated lux- urious quality.

This classic Oscar Wilde comedy has left millions of people laughing uproariously at its wit and clever inversions of con- ventional attitudes for over 90 years.

"'Ibe Importance of Being Earnest" will no doubt be successfully performed for another 90 years. The show begins at 8 p.m. at St. Aidan's Memorial Hall, located in St. Aidan's Church, at 70 Silverbirch Ave., just south of Queen St. E.

Scarborough Council Notes by :Neil -Yin Tee Wye Valley Read Traffic Council has darted the request for an all -way stop control at the of Wye Valley Rd. and Brigstock Rd. and Wye Valley Rd and GLuve Rd. However. as incidents of excessive speeding were recorded, police enforce- ment is provided. The council feels that an All - Way stop control warrant is not a speed control device. The installation d a stop sight as a speed control device often serves to ir- ritate motonsts, resulting in a further increase in speeds to make up for what they perceive as un- necessary delays.
