Durham Board Of Education Notes artier Central Futures Superintendent of Educa- tion Area 4 Casey Dualernan presented further Wormation to trustees on the impact of the im- plementation of the Transi- tmn Years initiatives on the futures of Central C.1. and General Vanier S.S. As a result of motions subse- quently passed by the board, Central C.I. will become the borne school for students in south car tral Oshawa, effective Sept. ISM, and General Varner S.S. win beca ow a campus for both Central C.1. and Dtrham Alternate Secondary Education iD.A.S.E. i. Students currently atten- ding General Varner S.S. will continue at the school until graduation and courses through Central C.I. and D. A. S. E. will be added as space becomes available. Students who would normally have at- tended General Vanier S.S. for its specialized voca- tional courses will now be served in their neighbourhood secondary school in order to meet the Ministry of Education's in- itiative calling for destreaming of all grade 9 courses of study. This means that. beginn- ing in Sept. 1993, the struc- ture of programming for grade 9 students will resemble that of grade 7 and 8 students rather than the students being separated into classes where courses are taught at the Basic, General or Advanced level as they cur- rently are in grade 9. Early Years Report Received A report on initiatives for the Early Years was presented to trustees by Superintendent of Educa- tion'Area 5 Carol Yeo and Early Years Officer Pat Prentice. The report up- dated the board on provin- cial developments and directions, board developments and direc- tions, and the status of alternative programs for offering Junior Kindergarten programs outside the regular school setting. Time lines and 1993 budget proposals for the implementation of Early Yeats initiatives are cur- rently being prepared by various board depart- ments. Upon the compie- tioa of a staffing survey, facility audit, site visits and the community con- sultation meetings around the 1993 budget, the Early Years Task Force will develop and present to t.WMa an iwYi►w.wda two pian for each Durham community. Ministry Correspoedtwce Received Correspondence from the Minister of Education con- firming details of the Nov. 19, 19192 announcement of capital allocations was received by trustees. The board received approval for projects totalling $13.567,50W, including a new root for Goodwood P.S. (19951, various Junior Kindergarten capital pro- jects (1993-19%), and the new unnamed Sorbarra P.S. and site (1995). The ministry grant for these projects will total $9,732,276 and $350,000 for the child care facility on the new school. The minister's letter also included information about the additional criteria the ministry has introduced for its evaluation of school capital projects. Effective with the school capital an- nouncements for funding in 1995-96, the ministry is re- questing that school boards undertake an additional planning process to iden- tify possible community partners for participation in community-based, multi -use facilities. This change in direction will underscore the govern- menrs commitment to cooperative community planning. Boards will be re- quired to demonstate that their program has been ex- amined in light of multi -use criteria and has been developed accordingly.

January :r, 199:1 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Religious Freedoms Threatened In Ontario Dear Friend: I cannot tell you how shocked I am at recent developments in the Province of Ontario that threaten our religious freedoms as Canadian citizens. Ontario's socialist N.D.P. government has ruled that Bible studies that had been in place for two years in four public schools in the Region of York are unconstitutional and therefore cannot be allowed to continue. This ruling came in spite of the fact that the studies were not sponsored by the schools involved, were taking place over the lunch hour. were attended only on a voluntary basis. and only by students who had written consent from their parents. Not only did this extra curricular program have the approval of all four principals involved• it was sup- ported by the chairman of the Board of Education as well. The N.D.P. government has justified this ban based on a reinterpretation of the lunch hour as not being free time but being part of the school day and therefore falling under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Education. finder Canada's charter of rights and freedomns. the Ontario Court of Appeal had previously ruled i January 30. 1990, that Christian in- doctrination was not allowable within the public schools. Unbelievably. it is the position of the N.D.P. government that voluntary Bible study over the lunch hour is a form of inappropriate religious indoctrination taking place during an hour for wtiich it is responsible' 1 have personally received a number of calls from shock- ed citizens from across Ontario asking whether this policy is being applied province wide. The answer to that question is absolutely yes. Today. in the Province of Ontario, gather- ings for the purpose of voluntary religious studies and devo- banal practices over the lunch hour in a public school set- ting ' both ek urntanand high school 1. have been barned. Further. such activities cannot take place on public school property at any time during the normal hours of operation uE a.m. -5 p.m.). A public meeting was held recently in which Mr. Keith Baird. the policy advisor to the Minister of Education, resolutely defended the government's decision on this mat- ter It was clear from this meeting that a revitalised grass roots activism is crucial to having this decision recon- sidered and overturned. Your voice must be heard• if re igious freedoms are to be preserved in Ontario (and ultimately the nation as a wtKae)'. Very simply. you need to write the provincial government and express your concern. The most effective communica- tion would be a personal letter, written in your own words, indicating that: you are shocked at this usenet decision of the Minister of Education to ban gatherings for the purpose of voluntary religious studies and devotional practices over the lunch hour in the public schools. you do not understand how it could be u nconstitutional for students to gather voluntarily in this fashion over the lunch hour: you want this right restored to the people of Ontario. Your letter should be sent to: The Minister of Education. Mr Tony Sihpo, Queen's Park, Toronto, Ontario M7, A 11.2, and to your local '.Member of Provincial Parliament I ad- dress may be obtained by calling your MPP m the phone. Phone numbers are listed in the Government of Ontario blue pages in the Bell telephone directory under "Members of Provincial Parliament". I Please take the time to write today. Governments do pay attention when strong signals for change are sent out by you the public The Word says that -when the enemy comes in like a flood. the Spirit of the Lord will raise up a standard Joining together we can be used by God to raise up His stan- dard and preserve our religious freedoms.

Parad n Housing Starts Up In December National housing starts rose in December to 178,000 units at a seasonally adjusted annual rate (SAAR). according to Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation. December starts were up 3 per cent over the level of 172,000 units in November. December activity resulted from offsetting movements in single -detached and multiple unit starts. Multiple unit starts in urban centres rose 14 per cent to 72,000 units from 63,000 units in November.

Th-th-that's all folks' Pills, Pills, Pills Many factors contribute to the misuse of prescrip- tion drugs. As a society we have come to expect science and medicine to provide us with a long pain- free life. This leads to high con- sumer demand for medica- tion which in turn puts pressure on physicians to over prescribe. Seniors consume almost half the prescription drugs dispensed in Ontario, averaging 26 prescriptiors annually under the Ontario Drug Benefit Program. Overmedication and con- flicting presciptions are adversely affecting the health of many seniors. The St. Lawrence Centre Foran and Canadian Pen- sioners Concerned, Ontario Divison, host "Pills, Pills, Pills: Seniors and Drugs". The panel discussion will be held Wed. Feb. 3 at 1 p m. at the St. Lawrence Centre, 27 Front St. E. Ad- mission is free and all are welcome. The issue of overmedica- tion of elderly patients is complicated Often there is no one monitoring their prescriptions because several doctors areinvoly- ed and pharmacists rarely question prescriptions because they are not paid for consultations. Drugs are sometimes us- ed for social problems, such as loneliness. Also, physicians rely heavily on advertising from phar- maceutical companies to learn about new drugs. This does not ensure proper knowledge of side-effects, efficacy or cost. Help Frail Seniors If you have two or three hours a week to help a frail senior by visiting, shopping or driving to medical ap- pointments or if you would like to help with cooking for a congregate dining pro- gram for lonely seniors, call the Volunteer Centre - Scarborouugh a 264-2309.

When the fuse blew to our water beater the other day, I thought it might be interesting to see what it was like to live without hot water for the day. We'd tough it like the pioneers. I said to Em. She asked me if I expected her to chop wood, too. Belinda and Kyle were also dismayed at the prospect of being unable to shower approxi- mately every three hours. 'Where's your sense of adven- ture?" I asked them. "What's the worst thing that could possibili- ty happen?" "You'll wear dirty clothes to work tomorrow and people will laugh at you," said Em. Beaten, I went downstairs to change the fuse. I was tbanit- ful that we'd upgraded to a larg- er -sized water heater, because it looked like it was in for a work- out. According to The Hydro, a family of four like ours uses anywhere from 125 to 250 litres (28 to 50 gallons) of hot water per day. If your water heater is too small you'll run out of hot water, but if it's too big then you're Dying to heat water you don't need. So it makes sense to .get one that fits your needs, now and in the future. When I looked into upgrading our water heater, 1 learned that a good rule of thumb is that a typ- kW four -person household will need a 270 litre (60 g311,"1 beater. Since it would last 12 to 15 years, Em and I bad to think about things that would change bow much hot water we'd need. For example, the dishwasher we added in the kitchen uses a lot of hot water. And Kyle and Belinda take a lot of showers and that's added to our hot water load too. Planning for your hot water needs is important, but so is keeping your energy bills as low as possible. So I installed an energy-efficient showerhead, which will save its over 28,000 litres (6,167 gallons) of hot water a year. Another easy way to save hot water is to switch the temperature of your laundry rinse cycle to cold, from warm or hot. So changing a single fuse meant I was suddenly back in everybody's good books. Wish it were that easy all the time! This newspaper, in conjunc- tion with Ontario Hydro, is bringing you Phil's Basement to help "bring home" ideas on how to save energy.

January 27, 1993 Jill Watt's Worlds SPI.F:NDOUR: Well, the wait is over and the name of Toronto's newest performing arts theatre has been announc- ed. It's now on the con- struction site and will be on the marquee when the theatre opens• with the Canadian premiere of Miss Saigon on May 26th. (Previews from May 13th.) With their usual fine sense of occasion the 11lirvi made the announcement in the rotunda of Metro Hall, just across the street from the new theatre to a large gathering of the media, some of whom. but too precious few, saw fit to dress for it. The name is the Princess of Wales Theatre. It honours the memory of the now gone Princess Theatre ,when it was part of the King Street theatre district. As well, it recalls that the Royal Alexandra Theatre is named after a former Princess of Wales (as is, incidentally, our se- cond daughter. Mary Alex - andira 1.

It was a clever eye and ear catcher though far from the mark with its North American quiet music combos and flying phalanxes of waiters in tux- edoes, not mess jackets. The phrase, though, would neem to be appropriate now for the North America Studio in Markham. The column was there recently at the invitation of the East Asia Travel Association to celebrate the Chinese New Year. The studio, as the name implies, is. among other things, a facility for the production of motion pic- tures and television features. For the occasion it has created similes of the streets of Hong Kong. It was our experience to stroll through them after a recep- tion featuring authentic oriental food prepared to order as one waited. Now, those who know Hong Kong will at once realize that they -the studio streets -are most certainly not authentic. only representational at best. Still, they teemed with ac- tivity as vendors hawited their wares of food. clothing. objets d'art and even. insurance. The atmosphere was rather more evocative of the C.N.E. than the city it was intended to represent. We purchased a bag of chocolate popcorn(!) prepared in the U.S. and imported by a firm in St Hubert.

Here is a sampling of recent books to address it either directly or peripherally. The Big Bang Never Happened by Eric J. Lerner ( Vintage Books) isn't the detailing of a fail- ed seduction. It's an attack - no other word suffices- of the theory that the universe came into being spon- taneously. The attack fails. Mr. Lerner doesn't can- not disprove the Big Bang theory: only the time that it occurred. There is ce evidenin the universe of matter that existed before the to to2D billion years ago popularly ascribed to the event. The point could have been made in a monograph. His prolixity (to say nothing of poor writing( is imtating. One must express an- noyance, too, in the author's retelling of the vagaries of scientific thoyght since the beginning of recorded 4uistor•y. He seems bent upon ascribing the vagaries to con- spiracies against the mass of humanity by the privileged few. He even suggests a co -relationship between scientific thought and secularism in the economics of slave labour versus free labour. This is all well and wxxl and might even be correct. ..except for one factor. The allegations are based in Who was that masked man? %'F%k YORK. NEW' YORK.

A sports columnist recalled seeing Plante in goal for the Mon- treal Royals at age 22, wearing a toque and jersey he had knit for himself. Plante continued to knit throughout his career and con- tended that it helped him relax and refine his supple hands. Throughout his career Plante was considered something of an eccentric and a loner. Some contended that he was a hypochondriac.

Plante also appreciated the stress of goal -tending and he was not one to mince words. "How would you like it," he once asked, you were doing your job in an office and you made a little mis- take.

Plante was a study in focus. When a teammate scored on him in practice. he would %tare straight ahead. as though the puck had not gone in. Plante revolutionized the goalie position by pioneering the move behind the net to stop the puck and leasing it for a defenceman or passing off to a teammate along the hoard%. His risky style outside of the "cage" unsettled coaches and drove fans to distraction. The goaltenders of that era often suffered from the pressure of '-see- ing toxo much rubber." which was a dues to the goals of the national sport and stub- bornly held to his own against Canadiens coach Toe Blake, who believed a player had to "fight for his life- to play well. That night, with his face sewn from nose to lip, Plante agreed to return to the ice only if he was allowed to wear his face mask, which he had worn in practices since 1955. This cream-coloured mask drew a mixture of criticism. admi- ration and wisecracks. Nev crthe- less, the team went on to win the game 4 to I.

Plante outdid himself by leading an Il -game winning streak and eventually the Stanley Cup the following spring. With a keen sense of show- manship. Plante was well suited in the 1960% to appear in public: wearing a plastic or fibreglass mask looking like something from a Frankenstein film. And he made the masks as well! Overall, he produced several models for himself and fellow players, constantly improving their strength, visibility and lightness. In the 1960s and 1970%, protective face masks with captivating graphics flour- ished in the NHL and were even the subject of art exhibitions. Today, the goalie face mask is mandatory gear for anyone courageous and agile enough to assume that critical place in the game. Jacques Plante's playing career spanned two decades, during which he won the presti- gious Vezina Trophy seven times. His legacy is part of hockey's history, and his "moves" are imi- tated by players from peewees to professionals. In various ways, Jacques Plante managed to influence and shape the rules of the game. His innovative spirit gave hockey a new face forever. large measure upon his study of history. As the man should know, history is not necessarily accurate because it has been so fre- quently rewritten. Indeed, Napoleon allowed that "history is the agreed upon lie". And, one must object to the author's virtual dismissal of deductive reasoning in favour of observation. After all, what cannot be detected directly can be determined only by deduction. Surely that's manifest. Mr. Lerner's well inten- tioned book is not to be dismissed: that should hold true for any work of dedica- tion. Still, it appears that in his single-minded. albeit scholarly, enthusiasm he has failed to see the forest of ultimate truth for the trees of picayunity. Theories of Everything by John D. Barrow (Vin- tage) comes no closer to it either but then, that's not his attempt. Professor I of Astronomy at the Universi- ty of Sussex) Barrow has put together a chattily scientific rebuke to the presently popular Theory of Everything by Stephen Hawking and others. In Professor Barrow's view. there can be no ultimate and "strtgje all- embracu* picture of all the laws of Nature from which the inevitability of all things seen must foiim, with unimpeachable logic". He seems rather, to agree with Dmtoersky that if everything on Earth were rational, nothing would happen' Even so. his book is con- siderably more than mere polemicinng against what he perceives to be not. It's a recounting of the history of science and philosophy with amusing commen- taries scattered along the way. Oh yes, Professor Bar- row believes in the Big Bang and places it about 15 billion years ago. He re- jects. however, that it was the beginrung of an even- tual end. Two other books dealing with the creation of the universe and of life upon Earth will be reviewed in a future column. They are Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors by Carl Sagan and Ann Druyan ( Random House) and The Crea- tionists by Ronald Numbers t Alfred A. Knopf P.

Today. the unrealistic ideal of beauty to which women aspire is thin. white, able-bodied. snwotb-skumed. young and glamourous. ..Given that less than five per cent of us ••fit.. this ideal it is not surprising that most women in our society are dissatisfied with their bodies.' says Merryl Bear. Coordinator of the National Eating Disorder information Cen- tre. "The relentless pressure to meet unat- tainable standards of beau- ty causes women to develop harmful feelings towards themselves and their bodies.

Ibis is why the slogan 'Breaking Free... Celebrating Our Natural Sizes' was chosen for Eating Disorders Awareness Week. "We need to move away from one narrow ideal of beauty, to a celebration of our diversity", says Bear. "This would allow women to accept their bodies and get beyond appearance. Women could concentrate on punting their energies in- to more empowering ac- tivities. It is important to take a strong stand in challenging these rigid, unrealistic expectations."

This violence ranges from robberies, rape, to kidnapping children, and the list can go on endlessly. Self-defence courses to- day deal mostly on the physical aspect of a violent attack, and do not concen- trate as much on what makes the attacker tick. (i.e. the way he or she thinks). This would be categorized under the study of Physical and Ver- bal Aggression. Having this knowledge can be a very important self defense weapon, in your arsenal for self preservation. If young children have this knowledge, it may save their life some day. When someone is attacked, thev would increase their chance of survival If they had some understanding of the attacker.

Puckhandling is one of the most important skills to master and requires much practice. Stickhandling while stationary or in motion, is the key to effective deking, shooting and passing. To begin puck movement, the top hand is at the very end of the stick, 8 to 12 inches above the lower hand The wrists are turned over so that the 'V' of thumb and forefinger is on top of the stick. The arms are relaxed and elbows away from the body. Players must control the puck in the middle of the blade, keeping head up and eyes focussed ahead, utilizing peripheral vision to watch the puck and other players. Puckhandling must fust be practiced with players stationary, including a "number yell" drill where players call out the number of fingers you hold up while stickhandling pucks. Progress to moving drills including forehand, backhand and one -hand carry, stick handl_ ing around obstacles and Controlling the puck with skates. As players become Confident, introduce body, skating and stick fakes. Delving involves deceiving a defender with body movements, change of skating direction or speed, and faked shots. Have players practice dekcs around pylons before introducing live defenders. Introduce puck protection technique of wrist across and elbow up, and have players practice this one-on-one in a confined space.
