School Renamed Trustees approved a mo- tion to change the name of Harwood S.S. to Exeter H.S. effective Sept. 1, 1993. The school will become a regular composite high school as a result of the Ministry of Education's Transition Years initiative which calls for the destreaming of programs for grade 9 students. Almost 200 suggestions for a new name were forward- ed to the committee. The name Exeter High School was chosen because of its historical value to the com- munity.

Certificate Awarded The habitat enhance- ment program and pond at R.H. Cornish P.S.. Port Pem% received recogru- tion from co-ordinators of the Metro Toronto Zoo's Adopt a Pond program. The school's project. organized by teacher Rob Ferguson, provided an ex- cellent example of students, staff and the com- munity working together to create and maintain a habitat for urban wildlife. The Zoo encourages schools across the province to take an active role in protecting, restoring and creating wetland areas. It will devote a complete issue of its newspaper for schools to the R. H. Cornish project. Director Pauline Laing accepted a cer- tificate on behalf of the board for its commitment to encouraging en- vironmental awareness through the education system. Trustees were reminded that R.H. Cor- nish P.S. was this year's first place winner in the Hey We're Looking Good This Summer program. Learning Consortium An- nual Report Received Trustees received a report outlining the ac- tivities and ac- complishments of the Lear- ning Consortium during 1992. Durham is one of 4 boards of education which entered an agreement with the University of Toronto Faculty of Education and the Ontano Institute for Studies to Education in 1988 in order to conduct research about improving teacher practice in schools. Co-operative learning in- stitutes were the first focus of the consortium and this area has been expanded to include the topics of con- flict management, ethno- cultural equity education and evaluation of student performance. The board is pleased that it is able to of- fer a wide vanety of pro- grams by sharing the cost with other boards of educa- tion with the same interest in initiating innovative pro- grams in field based teacher education. Report on the Future of Vanier and Central Presented Superintendent of Educa- tion Casey Daleman presented a report on the future of Central C.I. and General Vanier S.S. to trustees for information. The report outlined the meetings that have taken place with trustees, staff, students and the school communities as a result of the Ministry of Education's Transition Years initiative which calls for the destreaming of grade 9 pro- grams effective Sept. 1, 1993. Possible alternatives as to the future of the 2 schools have been discuss- ed over the past several months and consultation around the options has been conducted. The option being put for- ward to the board for ap- proval calls for Central C.1. to be designated as the home school for south- central Oshawa students and General Vanier S.S. to become a second campus where an expanded range of courses could be offered. Shared facilities and resources would allow this complex to provide a full range of programming for existing feeder schools, alternative programming for drop -outs from other secondary schools and a wider range of programs for adults. Trustees asked a number of questions of clarification about the report. They will make their decision about the future of the 2 schools at the next regular meeting of the board. l italrman Appointed It was announced that Durham Board of Educa- tion Chairman Louise Farr has been appointed to the Board of Directors of the Durham Region Manufac- turers' Association.

A fines amnesty allows library users to search their bookshelves for items which were borrowed long ago and which may be preventing the user from using the library again (since missing items over a specified amount block fur- ther use of a library card ). No questions will be ask- ed about overdue items during the amnesty. The amnesty does not apply to any other charges the user may have outstanding. The library staff is ask- ing that instead of fines. users contribute a packag- 14i 1non-perishable) food :!em for each overdue tem.

December 16, 1992 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Liberal Problem Dear Editor: I am calling your attention to the behavior of the Liberal party concerning the nominations of the York Centre riding (former Bob Kaplan's,. Councillor Peter LiPreti with the approval of the Liberal party spent much work and effort collecting about 3000 popular nominations. which is assumed to be enough. Sur- prisingly the party leadership crossed out the nominations and appointed What's his name' the former mayor of Toronto,who lost the city election due to lack of popularity and whose name I am unable to remember. At this point I am not discussing the personality of the candidates but the right of self-determination of the multicultural riding which has a strong Italian core. They are all badly hurt. I am badly hurt. too. I am afraid that the time of the Wasp is coming back. 1 have no intention to vote for a person %%chose name I don't evert remember, and who is the protegee of Bob Kaplan, the author of the Juvenile Act. If Peter UPreti runs he will sure win. The Italian vote for him because they like and trust him. The Europeans -like me -vote for him. because he has European roots, and he is not arrogant as the Wasp was. (tam• of the Non European multi-culturals vote for him because thev mistrust some over organized grog some of them influenced from other countries. However. the appointed opponent is not popular. The most ardent worshippers of UPreti will vote for the NDP. or won't vote at all. Then what will the Liberal party gain' Let's make it clear Bob Kaplan lost his popularity because of the Juvenile Act. every protegee of Bob Kaplan is suspicious in committing similar mistakes because of the same compromising attitude. A new man brings new directives. Peter 1APreb is most certainly the most popular man you can find in Olntano. The people want him. respect selfdeterminatiori of the people.

Letter to the Editor: Dear Fellow Canadians. Well, almost all. Not to have taken corrective action as a result of the ig- norance of the fact can receive our understanding. To refuse to take corrective measures once atrocious diiscrepancies have been discovered and brought to everyone's attention such as those that exist in the Metro Tax system becomes very close to being in the catagory of aiding and abbeting fraud and embezzlement. If tears and sympathy are to become the excuse and the reason those tears justly should be in the direction of the mmucipablies who have been victimized these many years. Not only corrective measures are called for but repara- tions are not unheard of as well. 1 do not think our courts could stomach these injustices if they were called on to rec- tlfy. Capping in this instance is not an issue; all downtown taxes have been capped for these many years. Interest on the money incurred usually would be called for by any respectable corporation so do not prolong these injustices while people have the will to be tolerant and accom- modating. The abrupt turn around by the provincial government as I hear by the grapevine is because there is no allowance for capping the tax assessment of railways and the hydro utili- ty lands. That M. V-A. assessment would result in rail fare and hydro bill increases. What atrocity: The municipalities of Scarborough, North York. East York, Etobicoke and York have not only been subsidizing the downtown Toronto tax base they have been subsidizing public hydro and railway fares. I hope it penetrates everyone's noggin that hydro and rail fares aside from being a separate department issue is also the most fair form of taxation through increased billing in this instance. The user pay charges by way of fares whether increases or decreases is the most equitable form of taxation and burden allocation. It has been much more insulting to regard the so-called capping as a right rather than as a concession, then later to be regarded as villains if the suburbs assert their rights. Yours truly. Mike Boychyn 3.5 Wandering Trail Scarborough, (hut. MIX IK4 Metro Council News from Ken Morrish Coundllar Scarborough Highland Creek New Directions and Policies in the New ;Metro official Plan The main elements associated with the reurbanization strategies are the Centres and Corridors, the Transporta- tion Network, The Green Space System and Core Enter- prise Areas. The central goal of the new Official Plan is "reurbanization". The objective of reurbanization is to take advantage of the opportunities and facilities that already exist within Metropolitan Toronto, rather than expanding further out- ward to undeveloped sites. This would help to control sprawl, reduce reliance on the automobile, lessen the loss of natural resources, and lower the public servicing cost associated with development. Reurbanization means redeveloping already urbanized areas• where there is potential to accommodate new development. It does not focus on development within green spaces (eg. The Rouge River Valley) or stable residential neighbourhoods. Some Of The lArections Will Involve Centre% and Corridors Encourage development of a mix of uses• including employment, housing, cultural• and recreational facilites within centres, in order to support walking, cycling and transit use. Transportation Give high priority to improving the rapid transit system serving centres a;d to enhancing the attractiveness of public transit as an alternative to the car. The Green Space Syslrm Protect environmentally sensitive areas. Identify areas that support more intensive recreational uses. Core Enterprise Areas To ensure that there is a competitive choice of sites and flexibility to meet changing demands for land. W'aterfrwt To ensure that development within the waterfront is of a form that is sensitive to and compatible with a public waterfront. To ensure a diversity of recreational and cultural opporttmities for a range of income levels, abilities and preference%. What's It All About , There are three levels of government in Ontario. The federal government. the provincial government and local government I municipalities• school boards, public utilities, and local boards and commissions) . The federal governrnertt is responsible for matters that affect all of Canada - defence. citizenship, national economic policies and foreign policy The prnincial government is responsible for highways. social services, health care. industrial growth and en- vironrmemal issues. to name a few. The federal and provincial governments erasure that wherever you live in Ontario you are guaranteed an equal standard of rights. services. protection and privileges. :Metro is then responsible for enforcing much of what the provincial government regulates to it, including protecting your home and business, disposing of garbage, arterial roads, making sure that the water we drink is safe, operating a variety of social mires, day care and homes for seniors. These responsibilities are given to Metro Toronto because local resp•esentatives know what is best for the communities that they live in. Concerning The E;%iroameat. St's Our En-wiroataent (Yoars And Mine) Despite XDP promises. nleighbourtoods in Peel. Bramp- ton. Caledon. Durham, ?Metro and York are included in the government's latest list of new garbage dump sites. CN the two sites in the Town of Markham being studied for a possi- ble landfill. one is just sm metres from the Uttle Rouge River Creek. The final preferred site will likely be chosen in early 19m. while the start-up date for each site will be in January 1996, with a minimum life period of 20 years or until around December 2015. I would be interested in knowing how you feel about The Rouge Valley being on the list of potential dump sites. Please call and let me know at 392-4055. "Eng irentips" Shade and shelter your home by planting trees nearby. Trees save energy by cooling in the summer and by shelter- ing us from winds in the winter. Use fluorescent lighting and be cool. Fluorescent lighting is four or five times more efficient than ordinary electric lighting. A standard incandescent bulb uses 96% of its energy to make heat and only 10% to create light. Turn off electric hot water heaters if you're away for more than a few days. You will save energ_v and money. The most energy-efficient clothes dryer is a clothes line. If you have any environmental tips you would like to share please call my office at 392-4055 and we'll put them in the next "From The Desk". ----fad------fad----------------a-. --- Give A Gift That Lasts All Year!

Wed. December 16, 1992 THE NEWS/ POST Page 5 Toronto Historical Board Seeks Recognition For CNE Buildings The Toronto Historical Board has adopted a recommendation to list ten features of the Canadian National Exhibition grounds on the City of Toronto's Inventory of Heritage Properties. This recommendation was to be considered by the City's Neighbourhoods Commit- tee on Nov. 4th . Of the numerous buildings and features of the CNE Grounds, fourteen had been listed or designated as Heritage properties in the 1970's and 80's. In the light of redevelopment proposals for the Exhibition Grounds, including a possible trade centre, the Toronto Historical Board is recom- mending that City Council recognize the remaining features by listing them on the Inventory. The "Ex" contains a good collection of modern buildings and structures that complement the earlier buildings reflecting the Beaux-Arts style at the Western end of the grounds. While the Beaux- Arts buildings have been recognized as nationally significant by the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada, the Toronto Ihstocical Board is concerned that the ar- chitectural and historical value of the post-war buildings be sufficiently considered when redevelopment schemes are implemented. Listing will place no restriction on the future use of the properties, but will ensure that the heritage cbaracter of the exhibition is taken into con- sideration when changes are planned. The Better Living Centre (191;2 j replaced the 1902 Manufacturers Building which was destroyed by fire Architects Marani. Holiday Festival At Science Centre Through" the festive season, kids of all ages can while away the snowy afternoons with craft demonstrations and workshops in the Great Hall at the Ontario Science Centre. And the fruits of their labours make great gifts for holidays and bir- thdays.

Kids 5 to 12 years can make their own tops, gyros and whirlgigs at 11 a.m., 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. from Dec. 21st to 23rd. Kids 8 to 16 years can learn to make ancient musical instruments dulcimers and zithers from Dec. 26th to Jan. 3rd at 11 a.m., 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. The Ontario Science Cen- tre is located at the corner of Don Mills Rd. and Eglin- ton Ave. E. It is open seven days a week from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Fridays from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. For information about registration, admission and parking call the centre at 6963127. Morris and Allan received a Massey Medal for the design. The Queen Elizabeth Building (1956-57) was designed by the architec- tural firm of Page & Steele with Peter Dickinson as principal -in -charge. It was the first exhibition building designed for year-round use and it contains a 1300 seat theatre, a dining room and administrative offices. After its completion, it was described as "the most Modern building in the world". The CNE Flagpole (1977) is 184 feet tall and carved from a 350 year old Douglas Fir tree. It replaced the original flagpole erected in 1930 and, like its predecessor, was the world's tallest wooden flagpole until 1962 when it was surpassed by a 204 foot pole at the Calgary Stampede. The CNE Grandstand (1947-49), the fourth grand- stand on the site. was built in the wake of a 1946 fire which destroyed its 1907 predecessor. The structure seats in excess of 20,000 and features an exhibition hall, two restaurants, sports team and broadcasting facilities. Two earlier grandstands on the site had been built in 1878 and 1895 respectively. The Carlsberg Carillon (1974) is an eighty foot structure containing a fix- ed set of bells. These can be operated either manually by a carillonneur using a keyboard or automatically with computer tapes. It is one of the few in Canada which has the inner work- ings exposed. The Dufferin Gate (1959( is the third structure built to identify the west en- trance to Exhibition Place. The parabolic arch replac- ed the 1910 entrance pavilion with decorative iron gates which was demolished in 1959 during the construction of the Gar- diner Expressway. The Food Products Building (1954) was herald- ed as the first example of Modern architecture on the exhibition grounds. It is notable for the use of angl- ed waterwalls and foun- tains at the entrances and Canadian artist Jean Horne's sculpture of leap- ing fish in the reflecting pool. The Hockey Hall of Fame and Canada's Sports Hall of Fame (191)0.61 west wing and 1966-67 east wing) is ar- chitecturally interesting for its folded plate walls and canopy roof. Both phases of the building were designed by the architec- tural firm of Allward and Gouinlock. The west wing was officially opened by Prime Minister John Diefenbaker in 1961. The Princess Margaret Fountain (1958) replaced the Gooderham Fountain erected in 1911. The Gooderham Fountain was a monumental structure and a favourite rendezvous point. inspiring the catch phrase "meet me at the fountain". A fountain has occupied the site for over 75 years. The Shrine Peace Memorial ( 1930) was designed by sculptor Charles Keck and presented to the Canadian people by the philantropic group known as the Shriners. It com- memorates a century of peaceful relations between Canada and the United States. Its site is historical- ly important as the area where American troops landed during the War of 1812.

December 16, 1992 Bill Watt's Worlds ON STAGE: The Wingfield Trilogy is made up of the plays "Let- ter From Wingfield Farm". "Wingfield's Pro- gress" and "Wingfield's Folly". It runs in repertory through Dec. 20th at the St. Lawrence Centre. This is a reprise engagement by the Canadian Stage Company. They're not plays so much as one man shows starring Rod Beattie as the fictional Walt Wingfield. successful stock broker determined to make a suc- cess of scratch farming. They're written by Dan Needles who used the pen name of Wingfield when he first wrote the newspaper sketches that eventually became the three plays and. we read, will soon become a television series. Your column has finally caught up with these popular works. We were expecting a derivative or possibly even, hybrid of Granbv's Greets Acres. Up Medonte Way. Walden and Holidav Inn. We were not surprised - That's not important. What is important is the pleasure derived from an evening of Wingfield. Are. it is very real pleasure. Farm life is not for everyone but even its severest detractors con- cede that those who wont the soil are the only ..characters" left in an in- creasingly sterile worid. ( Too bad that a better word than "characters" can't find its way to the keyboard as this is being written but astute readers win know what's meant. i Those characters are all here in a masterful toter de farce by Rod Beattie. By scrapie changes of hat and wail[ he parades a rich assortment of all the types of men who farm. He does it hilariously and yet never mockingly. He simply il- lustrates the difference between men of the earth and men of the pavement. And no judgments are made. It's implicit that the ways of the city dweller are as equally mysterious to the farmers as are those of the farmer to the urbanite. The foregoing probably treads pretty fancy wancy as some of Wingfield's new neighbours might say, but truth to tell, this man of the pavement has difficulty in best describing this most pleasurable evening of theatre. It's too simplistic to say it's a fine show. Why is it a fine show? It's tempting to suggest that Mr. Beattie is the com- plete event but itwouldn't be correct. That's not to deny his superb character delineation: it's only to say that the playwright has captured the people of the play so well. They are in- stantly recognizable but are never allowed to become figures of ridicule. only humour. earth humour. Look, enough of this' Go see The Wingfield Trilogy for vourself with our war- ranty that you will enjoy it. . .the characters and the performance of Mr. Beat- tie. t In Letter From Wingfield, look for the scene near the first act cur- tain wtnere he becomes an elderly man crooning an old song of Ireland. If it doesn't bring a tear to the eve. thea one's heart must be of stone.) SEGUE: The following rrviea• was intended for early in the new year after the hustle and bustle of the holiday season was ended and one had time for more com- templative winter ac- tivities in anticipation of Around and About Your Dining &Entertainment Guide spring and summer. After viewing The Wingfield Trilogy, however, it has seemed not too tangential to comment upon The Canadian Gardener's Year -A Perpetual Diary For Northern Gardeners by Marjorie Harris (Ran- dom House). Most gardening books ,are attractive and in- teresting but not truly useful unless they address !the varying Canadian con- ditions of soil and climate as experienced across the second largest country in the world. This one does. As well. and as the sub ti- tle states it provides a diary for the gardener to maintain records as well as thoughts. Nice seasonal reminders are scattered throughout too. All in all. this is just about the best gardening books for locals that has crossed the review desk for many a moon. It's single fault is that it's too attractive to lend itself for carrying in the garden, even in the protection of bib front overalls. It would be absolutely perfect with a laminated, preferably waterproof cover and a ring binder rather than a spine. It'd be a nice Christmas present for a neighbour or office acquaintance. Another pleasant present would be The Perivali Cookbook -New Classic Greek Cooking by Holly Garrison with Nicola Kot- soni and Steve Tzolis (Villard Boom ) . The latter two are the owners of New York City's Periyali Restaurant where Humus.

OCT. 28. 1864 — What role did the waltz play in the adoption of Canada's Constitution" If you Knew that the nighttime balls and dancing during the Quebec Conference of 1864 were critical components in the passing of 72 resolutions that formed the basis of the British Forth America Act. then you are among a select few Canadians who have an appreciation of the contribution social dancing made to nationhood. For 18 days. in October, 1964 delegates from English and French Canada. New Brunswick. Nova Satia. Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland met around a crim- son—clothed. book -strewn table in the reading room of the Quebec Legislative Council. Through the dreary and rainy days (without the Newfoundland delegation- who jumped ship after the first day). they debated and fought over issues such as repre- sentation by population and the composition of the Senate. The same issues had been dis- cussed by many of the same dele- gates the previous month in Char- lottetown, following long debates within their own constituencies and legislatures. One unusual attribute of the Quebec Conference was the invi- tation extended to the female fam- ily members of the male delegates. Waltzing toward a united Canada The sptxnscxs went to great lengths to organize glittering social pro- gram. for their enjoyment. Su It was that five wives and nine daughters of 19 hesitant Mar- itime delegates earned the nick- name "Mothers of Confedera- tion.-' since the indefatigable Canadian politi- cians took every opportunity to waltz away any doubts about the wisdom of a unit - Roval Ascent to the B.K.A.

OCT. 28. 1864 — What role did the waltz play in the adoption of Canada's Constitution" If you Knew that the nighttime balls and dancing during the Quebec Conference of 1864 were critical components in the passing of 72 resolutions that formed the basis of the British Forth America Act. then you are among a select few Canadians who have an appreciation of the contribution social dancing made to nationhood. For 18 days. in October, 1964 delegates from English and French Canada. New Brunswick. Nova Satia. Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland met around a crim- son—clothed. book -strewn table in the reading room of the Quebec Legislative Council. Through the dreary and rainy days (without the Newfoundland delegation- who jumped ship after the first day). they debated and fought over issues such as repre- sentation by population and the composition of the Senate. The same issues had been dis- cussed by many of the same dele- gates the previous month in Char- lottetown, following long debates within their own constituencies and legislatures. One unusual attribute of the Quebec Conference was the invi- tation extended to the female fam- ily members of the male delegates. Waltzing toward a united Canada The sptxnscxs went to great lengths to organize glittering social pro- gram. for their enjoyment. Su It was that five wives and nine daughters of 19 hesitant Mar- itime delegates earned the nick- name "Mothers of Confedera- tion.-' since the indefatigable Canadian politi- cians took every opportunity to waltz away any doubts about the wisdom of a unit - Roval Ascent to the B.K.A.

Queen's Park Report Elinor Caplan M.P.P. Oriole During the week of Nov. 16th in the Legislature. Liberal leader Lyn McLeod called on Treasurer Floyd Laughren to confirm his commitment to a two per cent increase in transfer payments to municipalities. school boards, col- leges, universities, hospitals and social service agencies in the coming fiscal year. We are starting to hear signals from the NDP that 1993's transfer increases will not be the promised two per cent because of the government's ongoing inability to manage its finances. Last winter. the Treasurer spelled out funding increases for the transfer partners for the next three years, saying the purpose of the advance notice was to alb% the transfer partners "to help plan the reform and restructuring that must take place in each of these sectors..." The Treasurer must put an end to the concern among hospitals, municipalities, school boards, colleges and universities, and social service agencies by simply telling them whether or not therewill be a two per cent transfer in- crease in 1990. These institutions must have that informa- tion to plan how to most effectively use their resources. For example, The Ontario Association of Community Liv- ing, a group that provides services to the developmentally disabled, is concerned about its future. The association is unsure how much money it will receive from the NDP government. In turn, it cannot determine what services to cut and which ones to keep. This will result in longer waiting fists for those who rely on these services. Hospitals are also left to speculate. The Treasurer should know that hospitals are required to file a full operating plan and budget by the end of November. It has to include details of how hospitals will: control costs. live within the provin- cial cost requirements: preserve health care services. and protect jobs. Over the past year, those plans have been developed with community stakeholders. Now, it appears that the entire revenue side of the operating balance sheet is in jeopardy. The Treasurer refused to confirm his commitment and has left the transfer partners to speculate on what's in store for them. During these recessionary times, it is already dif- ficult for institutions to meet budget demands. Institutions are trying to cut costs without cutting essential services. The Ontario government's transfer partners have ac- cepted the tough reality of the NDP government's financial problems. Those partners have done their part and tried to make the changes that were asked of them. Now, they don't know if the NDP government's part of the bargain still holds. Wed.

This year. the form is being sett to all Fancily Allowances recipients in Dreember 199¢ instead of January ISM. Recipients whose Family Allowances payments are deposited directly into their account at a financial institution, and those whose benefits ceased part way through the year, will receive the TFAI forms at their home address, while reclplects who still receive monthly cheques will have their TFAI forms attached directly to their December cheque. The TFAI forms will be needed to complete 1992 in- come tax returns. They are used to report the amount of Family Allowances received in the calendar year and to report the number of eligible chiklren for the Child Tax Credit. The 1992 tax return will be the last one on which reci- pients will report Family Allowances payments. Starting in January 1993, the new Child Tax Benefit will replace the current Family Allowances pro- gram, as well as tax credits for children. The benefit also includes a supplement for low-income working families. The amount of the new monthly tax-free pay- ment for each family will depend on the number and age of the children and family income.

Scarborough South "Cbee"ag the Right RASP InvestaueaL.." Delany RRSP investors recapim the inrenediate tax benefits of contributing regularly to their RRSP. They often give less thought to hos' their RRSP is growing. But. with a little knowledge. you can help to make a big difference to the amount of cash you accumulate in your plan - and to the quality of your retirement lifestyle. In fact, just an increase by a side percentage point in the average rate of return on your RRSP investments could increase your retirement ineoerc quite significantly. And that could mean a lot of nice extras ahem you retire. Impr•%ift RR.SP Perf•rnance So how do You help increase the average rate of return of your RRSP in vestment' Start by looking at the investments you now hold inside your RRSP. Like many people, you may select the same types of RRSP investment every year - without considering all the options available to you. For exampie, your RRSP portfolio may consist almost entirely of one-year investment certificates. A good choice' Certainly these provide a high level of security and a respectable return. But you could probably do better. your One way is to diversify yoholdings to include cer- tificates with a wide range of maturity dates - say. from six months to five years. Then, if interest rates decline in the future. your longer-term certificates are locked into a higher rate. But if rates go up. your shorter -term cer- tificates will probably mature quick)v enough so that you'll still be able to capitalize on the higher rate. Mutual Funds as an RR.SP Option History shows us that, at any given time, some in- vestments will do better than others. In the mid -eighties, fixed -term investment certificates such as GICs performed better than some of the mutual fund RRSP options. Yet last year, the opposite was true. And that's why it may make sense for you to consider in- cluding mutual funds in your RRSP plan. But with so many types of mutual funds available for your RRSP. how do you choose among them' Often the choice conies down to how much risk you are prepared to tolerate and how close you are to your retirement. Weighing Risk against Return If you are several years away from retirement. you may want to assume some risk in order to attempt to realize longer term growth. In this case, you could consider in- vesting some of your RRSP dollars in an equity based mutual fund. Or, you may be closer to retirement and concerned with having a secure income. Under these circumstances, you may want to invest in a fund with security, such as a mor- tgage or bond mutual fund. So take a look at your RRSP portfolio, and see if you're taking full advantage of all the investment options available to you. Chances are you'll find that by increasing the diversification of the investments in your RR.SP - vour prospects for a richer retirement may also increase.

While backward skating is an indispensable skill for defencemen, with the constant interchange of positions and transition game m hockey, all players must master backward skating skills Improving backward skating will also help your players become more productive by in=easing all-around efficiency. To initiate a backward start, a player must have knee flexed, trunk erect, and assume a sitting position. From this stance, body weight is transferred over the driving leg and the player rotates the toe of one skate inward at 90 degrees to the desired direction of travel- With a dynamic, but not full, claension of hip, knee and ankle, the player pushes vigorously to front and wide, simultaneously transferring body weight from the driving leg to the gliding leg. 2 2 0 0 e2 2 0 2 2 0 0 00 2 2 2 2 0 0 0 2 2 0 When assuming regular backward stride, the recovery skate sbould be kept close to the ice in the transition from striding to gliding leg. The player must always keep head up and stick in front and on the ice. To practice backward skating skills, start by having players walk backward, march backward and out semi -circles in the ice, holding onto the boards, then away from the boards To further develop backward striding• have players pull a partner around the ice with ropes our sticks.

By giving the tenants a greater degree of control and involvement the quality of life and the character of neighbourhoods improve. With the support of all parties, the Ontario Legislature passed a mo- tion on Nov. 26th calling for the Ministry of Housing and the Ontario Housing corporations to set up some trial conversion projects. The motion was introduc- ed by George Mammoliti MPP, %•nose riding in- cludes the Jane -Finch area- He argued eloquently that his proposal would help the area.

NIMPI-'o - IN Orr mmm"M ell Bob & His Master Trust Each Other Bob, this beautiful Ger- man Shepherd was recent- ly adopted by a staff member of the Toronto Humane Society and when you see the two of them together one easily sees who the master is. Nope. it's not Bob, but the trust and affection this dog has for his master is wonderful to see. Let me assure you that while his master is firm with Bob. the love and trust goes both ways! Volunteer dog walkers have found that it is very important to gain the tint t of an animal through pa- tience and honest affection. Generally. even in a ten or 15 minute walk they can get a dog to react positively towards them. Thev like to think it's because they truely love these animals and this feeling is passed on to them. It would be wonderful if more people who mals would have more patience with them. It can sometimes take anywhere from a few weeks to mon- ths. But have faith, because in the long run, it'll pay off just as it did with Bob' Again, the Humane Society needs clean blankets. towels. sheets, etc. for the animals. Un- salted mats for the wildlife would also be appreciated.

The area of par- ticular concern is southern Georgia and northern Florida on Intestate 75- and 5and 95 in the southeast United States. "Two incidents have recently been reported to us.' said Pat Curran of CAA Toronto. "of attempts to bilk travellers through trickery, fraud and in- timidation. Over the years, we have heard of numerous cases of slashed fan belts and tires, oil squirted on fuel pumps and shock ab- sorbers that are among some of the methods employed in this type of racket. The most recent trick appears to be squir- ting coolant on the radiator and suggesting rad replacement or problems with the fan clutch." In another incident that occurred on Nov. 18th, two cars travelling together stopped for gas. Both drivers were told by the at- tendants pumping gas that the back tire was soft. One was told that the tire was going to separate, the other that it must have picked up a nail and in both cases they should have the car put up on the hoist for fur- ther checking. Fortunate- ly, both drivers refused the offer. In order to protect yourself against service station rip-offs, CAA Toronto says that the first step is to have your car thoroughly checked over by your own mechanic before starting out on a trip. When you stop to pur- chase gas• get out of the car and watch the service man as he checks out anything around the car or under the hood. If you must leave the car. wait until all service has been performed, then move the car away from the pumps. If a service station atten- dant should suggest that there is something %Tong with the car. you should aj%ays insist on verifica- tion before spending money on an urmecessary car repair. When buying a replacement part. insist that you keep the defective part for later checking. It is also helpful to pay by means of credit card. Should it later develop that you have been victimized. you have a good record of the dealings. Fortunately for motorists, the majority of service stations and gar..ges are honest. However, it does pay to be aware of fraudulent prac- tices and watchful when having your car serviced. Survival Plan Helps S pecies Throughout the world, Populations of wild animals are declining due to habitat destruction and other kinds of human encroachment. In the next few decades, thousands may be lost - forever. There is hope, however, for some of these animals. Under the guidance of the American Association of Zoological Parks and Aquariums (AAZPA : , a program called the Species Survival Plan (SSP) coor- dinates animals, people and facilites to help preserve endangered species. Sea World of Florida is an active participant in the Species Survival Plan. The marine life park currently assists in the captive management of three SSP species, including the palm cockatoo, micronesian kingfisher and the Asian small -clawed otter.
