Ministry of Education's in-
itiative calling for
destreaming of all grade 9

This means that. beginn-

Received
Correspondence from the
Minister of Education con-
firming details of the Nov.

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

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.

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.

Dear Sir:
On behalf of the over -taxed majority of Metro Toronto
taxpayers. and the abuse of power and taxpayers money
shown by Scarborough trustees, whose jobs are non -
descriptive• is costing us over one hundred million dollars.
This to support 112 trustees, and 14.300 non teaching jobs.
We urge you to abolish such bureaucracies. There is no
purpose that they serve'
We also encourage your government to do away with six
layers of government in Metro. One Mayor is sufficient. one
fire department, 1 like "Metro" Police) is sufficient. So are
all other duplications of government that are taxing us to
death, and M. V.A. was the last straw. We will no larger lay
anyone else's taxes. As of now, we are in Tax Revolt.

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 -

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. To receive

IN PRINT:
The creation of the
universe has been the
ultimate and continuing
mystery of humanity since
the awakening of sen-
tience. 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.

education included learning to

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. In fact, he suf-

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

of the national sport and stub-
bornly held to his own against
Canadiens coach Toe Blake, who
believed a player had to "fight for

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-

To keep his mask. which he
was supposed to) give up once he
healed. 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

'Disorders
Awareness
Week
The fifth amoral Eating
Disorders Awareness
Ween, Feb. 1-7, seeks to
raise general awareness of
the continunnzi of eating
6socders prevalent m our
society.
There is unrelenting
pressure on females to be
thin, and self-esteem and
social vahtt for females is
strongly connected ridi ap-
pearance. 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. This attitude
becomes generalized,
perpetuating myths about
food and we4 t...
Many women act on
these feelings and go to
dangerous and ung
lengths to change the
bodies they have. 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."
The week is a co-
operative effort by groups
across Canada and the U.S.
to educate the public on the
relationship between
dieting, body dissatisfac-
tion and eating disorders.
The goal is to increase
awareness of the social fac-
tors causing individuals,
particularly women, to
develop anorexia, bulimia
or weight -preoccupation -

Seminar
Today there seems to be
an ongoing concern with
violence in our com-

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. Why is he or

Tips
Puck control skills
Do your players have good puck
control skills, maximizing your team's
ability to maintain possession of the puck?
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.
