April 21. 1993 opinion a page for expression for you and us Applaud 2 Councils For Zero Increase Good on Scott Cavalier for introducing and supporting a 0% budget increase for Metro. Anything that %till reduce ad- ditional burden on the taxpayer is welcomed. We applaud the efforts of Scarborough Council and staff for producing another -0- budget increase for 1993. Coun- cillor Berardinneti's idea of a reduction in councillor's salary sends a positive message, but it could have been more than a token amount. We hope it catches on. Any reductions of the government's payroll is essential, especially if it involves a per cent reduction of all salaries rather than cutting jobs. We have to learn to share the results of this recession depression. We appreciate the efforts of the mayor and council to send a message to the Ontario Government on fair assess- ment by deluging the assessment department with appeals. However, an even stronger message would be sent if the ci- ty were to initiate legal proceedings. The rally sponsored by the Scarborough politicians was a great success. Althoungh the mayor believes that appeals are better than revolts, it is our contention that the tax revolt is an essential part of making the Bob Rae government know that unfair and ine- quitable taxation is not acceptable, and will not be tolerated. The Price -Club application lost by a narrow margin and because of the location, the traffic problems and the negative impact on established business, it should have lost The debate showed that both sides. and the councillors supporting either position, did their homework. The mayor continues to chastise councillors who oppose or question some developments. We believe that an opplstion-type debate on application and reconrunerda- tions produces better results. In mart cases, the eoun- cinors doing the questioning of these developments are speaking the thoughts and concerns of the residents. If the mayor wishes to send a positive message, it would be better to not condemn opposers of recomrrterdatiorts, especially publicly. There are several associations that would like to make a presentation to council with some w4westions that may help re piamirng and devebptnent. We will be asking leave to do that. The Board of Education and the trustees that are suppos- ed to represent taxpayers concerns could take a lesson from Scarbnmut{h Councilkxs on how to respond to citizens. The expense of the education system has been out of control for a king time. This recession depression was a golden opportunity to cut back on those expenses. Instead we seem to be heading for another increase in our single biggest cost (more than 50% of our property taxes i. This is just bad management. Our trustees should be sug- gesting reductions. not rubber stamping a 4.9% increase. Since salaries represent SD% of the total expenses, the reductions should start there. Better to have reduced pay than sacrifice jobs. Better to have reduced salaries than to Upset an already over -burdened tax system, especially *,hen the property tax system in Scarborough has been pro- ven to be unfair, too high, and regressive. This system seems to have too many expensive programs and seams top-heavy in bureaucrats and support -staff. The trustees were tenacious when defending their ludicrous honorarium increase. But showed no courage nor innovation when discussing the budget increase. Maybe they will show some true leadership and responsibility to the taxpayers when recommendations come before them at the next meeting. We would like to see a lot of people there to suggest some specific concerns and suggest changes.

Baha'is Condemn Iran's Secret Blueprint On Them A United Nations report released in Geneva in February has raised concerns in the Scarborough Baha'i Community that a new wave of persecution of members of the Baha'i Faith may be imminent. The report concerns a secret document signed and ap- proved by Iran's highest-ranking officials which lays out its plans to oppress and persecute the 350,000 member Baha'i community in Iran. "The Iranian government has circulated a detailed blueprint designed to destroy the Baha'i Community," said David Henry, Secretary of the Scarborough Baha'i Com- munity. Mr. Techeste Ahderom, senior representative to the United Nations for the Baha'i International Community stated. "The intended effect of this new policy appears to be to create an environment where the Baha'i community of Iran can be slowly strangled without arousing international attention." The document was written by the leading body responsible for assuring doctrinal purity. and was approv- ed by both president Hashemi Rafsanjani and Ayatollah Ali Khamenie, Khomeini's successor as supreme leader. In his report to the U.N. Commission on Human Rights, Special Representative Professor Galindo Pohl points out that the Iranian plan specifically states "that the progress and development of the Baha'is shall be blocked," that "employment shall be refussed to persons identifying themselves as Baha'is," that "university studies are beyond their reach and they are decried access to public of- fice.•' The plan indicates that Baha'is are to be expelled from schools "if they identify themselves as Baha'is „ David Henry- pointed out that "this recently revealed pian not only codifies the oppressive actions which the Iranian govermnent has taken against Baha'is since 1979. but it sounds a new and ominous note." Mr. Henry noted renewed executions. imprisonments and confiscations of property during the past year. While this document has raised worries about family members still in Iran, of in mediate concern is the fact that it calls for a plan "to confront and destroy" the Baha'i -cultural roots" outside Iran. Concerns about recent and continuing attacks and assassinations on Iranian ex- patriates obviously has increased the tension in Baha'i communities where large numbers of the populations are tramans who escaped to Canada during the seventies and eighties Letter To The Editor Credit Education Week Dear Sir: The proclamation that emanates from the office of the Rt. Hon. 1lrian Mulroney, P.C., M.P. is self explanatory and the same applies to the text of the proclamation that is signed by Her Worship Joyce Trimmer, Mayor of our fair city. The thirst of both messages has to do with the upcoming celebration of !rational Credit Education Week which will be acknowledged in both Canada and the United States of America over the period Apr. lath to 24th. 1990.

"The often boisterous consumerism of the 19805 has lost much of its popularity. Fewer consumers believe that big- ger homes are better," said Greg Gov, Manager, Local Market Analysis at CMHC's Market Analysis Centre. "Con- sumers are concentrating more on their basic affordable needs with location, quality and liveability features gaining in popularity." How To Stay Healthy While Unemployed Unemployed people can do something to stay physically, mentally and emotionally healthy. But they need the help of those who love and respect them, and the community in which they live. Canadian and international research tells us that unemployment can lead to anxiety and depression, fatigue, insomnia, family violence, increased consumption of alcohol and cigarettes, chronic illness and suicide. Research also shows that social interaction; the emotional and moral support of family and friends: a sense of control over one's life; and a focus on educational upgrading and skills retraining, can help offset the harmful health effects of unemployment. Herr are some tips on maintaining mental and physical health and well-being while unemployed. Feeling good about yourself and having a positive attitude are para- mount to well-being and regaining financial independence. Don't Blame Yourself! It's not your fault that you don't have a job. Everybody wants to contribute to society in a positive way, but these days. there are fewer jobs to go around. Ontario, along with the rest of Canada and other industrialized nations, is undergoing major structural economic changes. These changes are redefining the labour market. Keeping a positive mental attitude, and recognizing that the new economy will requrire new skills and present new oppor- tunities. can open the door to future employment. Thirsk about what you would really like to do or are good at, how your talents could be put to wale, and investigate related training education opportunities - Focus an Your Social Support Network If you're feeling blue, tell someone, While the chronic stress of unemployment can lead to illness, your social sup port network can short-circuit the illness response. Unemployed people often become socially isolated due to humiliation and lass of self-esteem. Research says that the ongoing support of close friends and relatives is crucial to rebuikfing confidence and maintaimig a positive outlook. Other social inand faith through community afaith organization, for instance, can also greatly enhance a sense of self-worth. Talking about your frustration, rather than keeping it inside, will help dissipate bad feelings and present possible solutions. Become Involved in Volunteer air Community Activities Share your knowkdge and life skills with others. Making a contribution to society is important to health and well- being. Find a charity group or other volunteer activity that can use your time, energy and abilities, and get involved! Such activity can expand your skills and social network, and present future job opportunities. Join a Self -Help Group Get involved in group support. Many commuruties have self-help groups for the unemployed %finch provide emo- tional support and social activities, and offer practical ad- vice in finding a job. lifelong Learning is Ke% Nowthat you have the time, learn something new, There is a strong relationship between a person's level of educa- tion and their degree of financial and job security. People with higher education are also shown to have better coping skills when faced with unemployment. Pursuing educa- tional upgrading or acquiring additional skills can lead to a new job and should be a lifelong endeavour.

Simcoe founded the modern City of Toronto in the summer of 1793 when he established a military post where 1-Tistoric Fort York now stands in order to defend Upper Canada from the Americans. Simcoe chose the Toronto site because it had a natural defensible harbour located a safe distance from the American border. Simcoe established a civilian community at the eastern end of Toronto Bay, approximately in the area of George, Adelaide, Parliament and Front streets. With the threat of American invasion, he also moved the capital of Upper Canada from .Niagara to Toronto_ In August of 1793 St. George's Day Variety Like Magic Productions in association with J.B.

The Toron- to 200 celebrations com- memorate the actual event-Simcoe's landing at Toronto in 1793 -that led to the development of today's city. While the history of this modern municipality can be traced to Simcoe's ar- rival 200 years ago, it is im- portant to recognize that human activity in the Toronto area extended back thousands of years. The Mississaugas, a branch of the Algonkian Ojibways, lived in the area since the beginrung of the 18th century and the French had established a fur trade post near the Humber River as early as 1720.

Forever Plaid seems nicely settled in for a deserved long run at the New Yorker. Now, there is The Good Times Are Kill- ing Me just opened at the Royal Alexandra, One finds difficulty in evaluating it. Description is easy enough: it's another coming of age work in which, one suspects, the playwright Lynda Barry is more self indulgent than in- sightful. Edna Arkins is a pre -adolescent growing up in a working class neighbourhood in the 60s which. come to think about it. was probably the last time that description was used. Bonna Willis, her own age, moves into said neighbourhood. She is Black, they become friends. their enemies in an evident latter day affirma- tion of Kipling. it's well crafted and certainly well performed but what does it all prove? It's not notably entertaining save in a socio -intellectual way. And, it might, in these still dtra sensitive times. be in- flammaton•. In an effort to shove that we are different while still being God's children, the playwright -White -has sket- ched drawn painted Blacks as little less than stereotypes. There is the long suffering but noble mother, the well intentim- ed father, the spunky daughter. the jive talkie' relatives. There is the ridiculous southern Black accent. There is Black popular music versus White. There is the de rigour Black gospel ser- vice All that's missing is the watermelar! Perhaps that's the way !Ns- Barry recollects and possibiv she's accurate. Whatever, it could offend roam• Blacks and solidify resentment in Whites already so inclined. To be fair. Whites don't .'orae off much better, be- ng represented chiefly as a ,none or less shiftless lot -%-hose attitudes towards Blacks are at best earnest and at worst, defensive. As a social piece The Good Times Are Killing Me, fails. As a recollection of growing up, it has a cer- tain charm about it due in no small measure to the winning performances of the two principals. Now, there are those who hold that child actresses can't miss. Oh yes. they can! All too often they get by on cuteness and au- dience willingness to ac- cept. Not so with Renee Allison Harper and LaShonda Hunt as Edna and Bonna respec- tively. They are both spot on in their depictions of youngsters trying to deal with growing up and the realization that life is never what one hopes and expects it to be. Vewers should watch especially for their inter -actions with siblings. ..just right and sometimes hilariously funny. That's the thing about The Good Times Are Kill- ing Me. There are some good laughs but too few to put a sheen of hope on the drabness of the major sub- ject. Having said all that, let it also be noted that although it's not for everyone. true lovers of the theatre will enjoy it. ON STAGE:TWO John Harding and John Burrows' The Golden Pathway Annual is receiv- ing its Canadian premiere at Studio 311, a tongue-in- cheek name for a 3rd floor lazaretto at 317 Adelaide St. W. The surroundings are guilkw: the production values, meagre. yet, there's an attraction about this presentation that transcends all that and str- cecds in becoming an in- teresting piece of enter- tauunent. The play is probably best described as post Orton Osborne and follows the lives of George and Enid Peters and their son Michael through George's return from Worid War II to the conclusion of Michael's schooling in 1967 The schooling has been the doings of the execrable Around and About Your Dining & Entertainment Guide Labour Socialist govern- ment that prevailed in Bri- tain over that period. It's been done before in all its variations, the son (rising above his working class parents but unable to deal with the education for which they've paid. Backgrounding it all is the boys frequent escape into the adventures that are so attractively -and hopelessly idealistically - described in the Golden Path Annual. (The Column recalls enjoying similar books sent by Uncle Alex from far away Scotland.) It's frequently funny, more often poignant, always interesting but, and this is most important, all of those things because of its fine cast of four. Rarely will one experience so much talent poured into a more or less mediocre vessel. Mark ©lis is Michael and the audience watches him grow from a crawling infant to confined and disturbed manhood in a Performance that never flags - David Petrie is the father and the beauty of his per- formance is that he doesn't change. At the end of the play. he's still the fun- damentally decent. not too bright bloke w•ho wishes on- ly well for his family. Lindsay Lomax is Enid but also takes on six other roles including a comic strip heroine, a randy housewife and a French bimbo for James Bond. Quite a remarkable even- ing's work. An added bonus for the men in the audience is her great kgs. Adrian Haugh essays a dozen roles and succeeds in each. Among them are a head master. a magistrate and...a chicken. H'e're not making this up' So there's a strong cast, crisp direction by tied %'ukovic and company en- thusiasm in the cause of a ii RiT.At;F Hj(;HlJ4;HT1 not bad play. Well worth a visit ... even in such dismal surroun- dings. ON STAGE: TO COME This was intended to be a review of the new Princess of Wales Theatre to which The Column repaired recently for the ceremonial inauguration. It's beyond us. It's such a magnificent - the adjective is deliberate- ly chosen -theatre that mere words seem inade- quate in description. The best one can offer is to resort to cliche in saying that it embodies the best of the old and the new. The old style of theatre construction -graceful and opulent -has been combined with the technology of the new -clean lines and the finest of technical amenities. The principal colour scheme is a variation of red with counterpoints of brass, gilt and chrome. The space between rows of seats is truly spacious. It's a little less so in Balcony but to compen- sate, the seat backs are much higher than what is usually experienced in theatres. All seats are posture controlled and have firm backs. The elevators are spacious, speedy and soundless. All stairways are wide and have realistic stair heights. Washrooms are equipped with the most advanced of plumbing. We'll say nothing more than that one need never turn a tap: there are none -or none that we could detect. All floors have raised designs in them that virtually eliminate the possibility of slipping. There is a bar at each level of the theatre and each has a 15 minute sand timer wtuch will be upend- ed to time intermissions. The foregoing isn't in- tended as a picayune Desist or I will tell your wife By 'Marsha Boulton TORONTO. 1871 hat Cana- dian medical colle_e allowed w omen to attend medical lectures only un the condition that they agreed to not slake a luss? This strange restriction was placed on two pioneering Cana- dian women in the 1870, by the Toronto School of Medicine. In tact. when Jennie Trout and Emily Stowe managed to obtain restricted permission to attend a session of lectures at the School, Canadian universities would not allow women to study medicine. Trout and Stowe perservered and both of them ultimately were instrumental in establishing med- ical colleges for women. The sessions Trout and Stowe attended were virtually designed to incite a "fuss." Pranksters placed body parts on the women's chairs in the lecture hall and the male students jeered the two women, with the encouragement of most professors. Obnoxious sketches were drawn on the walls of the lecture room with such frequency that the Women medical students had to make a fuss classroom had to whitewashed four times during that session' Trout and Stowe endured all this and more.

Appar- ently, this tactic was effective. Jennie Trout and Emily Stowe both grew up on Ontario farms. Both excelled in school and went on to become school teachers. At one point, they lived on the same Toronto street. They became friends and shared in discussions of women's rights. Stowe was a more aggressive personality. In addition to becom- ing the first Canadian to graduate States, where medical colleges for women were first established in 1850. Stowe graduated as a doctor in 1867, and Trout followed eight years later.

She practised openly and illegally for 13 yeah. Although she had qualified in her sessional studies, the feisty Stowe may well have felt that she could not tolerate the second indignity of taking the oral we - tion of the exam before yet anoth- er group of hostile men. She was 49 when her licence was finally granted in 1880. Trout, on the other hand, took the exam immediately following her graduation in 1875. When her husband picked her up following the oral exam, he was compli- mented on having such a talented and creditably intelligent wife. She became the first Canadian woman to be licenced to practise medicine, however, when she died in 1921 the Canadian Medical Journal did not even record the fact.

The 50th anniversary of The Battle of The Atlantic is to be observed throughout The Com- monwealth on Sun. May 2nd. It behooves all of us to recall or learn of the in- credible feats of courage and endurance of our Royal Canadian :Navy -the Wavy :Navy -throughout it. To that end, The Column recommends Lifeline To Victory to be shown on Global next Tuesday. It's a fictional story but the episodes in it are drawn from life as many old salts will recall.

Lecture On Gardens Of Scotland At Civic Gardens Allen Paterson, director of the Royal Botanical Gardens in Hamilton, will be presenting a slide il- lustrated lecture on the Gardens of Scotland at the Civic Garden Centre, 777 Lawrence Ave. E. ( located in Edwards Gardens) on Tues. Apr. 27th at 7:30 p.m. Allen Paterson came to Canada from England in 1981 as Director of the Royal Botanical Gardens in Hamilton and has become well known throughout North America as an author. lecturer and traveller. He serves as a Distinguished Adviser to the Board of the Brookl vn Botanic Garden and is' a member of the Advisory.

This even- ing is the last speaking engagement Allen will be making in Toronto before his retirement this Spring. He plans to make Scotland his home. During the lecture we will see the unexpected - the sub tropical effect that has turned part of the island into an oasis of palms, and tree ferns. The backdrop to Scottish gardens combines historic buildings and heather clad hills. These scenes are un que in the world. Several gardens of the National Trust will N, shown as will the super. perennial collections of Threaves and Crathes and the parterres of Drum - mond Castle.

Catholic Children's Aid Volunteers Help The Children There is an old proverb: "Give a person a fish and you feed them for a day; teach them to fish and you feed them for a lifetime." This idea of helping others help themselves is part of the philosophy of the Volunteer Program at the Catholic Children's Aid Society. The society is fortunate to have extraordinary volunteers who devote many hoes of time and energy to the children and families we serve. Volunteers work closely with the social worker for each family. Together they help families and children in many ways. Young mothers raising children on their own are among those who benefit from the support of volunteers who guide and assist theta - without taking over their role. There are many children who come from ane parent Under 17 Camp Dates The Hockey Develop- ment Centre for Ontario has announced the Under 17 Team Selection Camp dates. These selection camps will provide 84 players with the opportunity to attend the Under 17 team Provin- cial camp, which will in turn select members of the 1993 Ontario Under 17 team. This team will com- pete in the World Hockey Challenge in Amos, Quebec in December 1990. This tournament will showcase some of the finest talent in the world for players under 17 years of age. In 1992, the Under 17 Team Ontario won the gold medal in the inaugural World Hockey Challenge. Subsequently, this team was selected as "Team of the Year" by the Province of Ontario. The Metro Toronto Hockey League will hold its selection camp at North York Centennial Arena, on Apr. 24 and 25.

Other children need help with school - their parents are unable to help due to the ongoing pressures of providing the basic necessities for their fami- ly: other fai mikes art new to the country and children need extra help. Voikinteers act as tutors, helping cluld en build their skills and self confidence. The volunteers themselves say that the rewards are many. Volunteers gain an im- mense feeling of satisfac- tion in being able to give to others and see their pro- gress. Many of the Society's volunteers who find themselves unemployed find that volunteering not only helps their own sone of self- esteem but gives them the opportunity to gain valuable experience for future employment. Event' volunteer at the society is unique and has a wonderful story to tell.

Who are these lawn bowl- ing fools? Well, we're everyone. Young and old, male and female. Retired seniors, working stiffs and housewives. Lawn bowling is an activity that everyone can enjoy. It doesn't re- quire a lot of strength or agility and is very inexpen- sive. For the same amount of money that it costs to play 3 rouutds of golf you could bowl five times a week from May until Oc- tober' At the Cosburn Lawn Bowling Club in East York our members range from retired seniors. who come out mainly to socialize and meet new people while playing a friendly game, to very competitive tourna- ment bowlers (including a fewCanadian and Ontario champions) who love to play against the tough com- eptition in local and provin- cial tournaments. They come from East York, East Toronto, Don Mills and West Scarborough. They are people who alley bowl, curl or do nothing all winter. They all. however, have one thing in common. They all love to bowl and most wish they had joined years ago. There are relaxed, friendly, organized games played 3 days and 5 nights a week so you have lots of choices when deciding when and how often you come out. During the year many special events are held to help you further en- joy a summer of fun and enjoyment. At Cosbtim our season begins with an ..open house" on Sat. May 8th whnere you and your friends and family can be introduced to the game. Our coaches are available for free lessons throughout the year. So this summer don't 'co- coon' inside in front of the T.V. when you could be out on the greens enjoying yourself with friends. Call your local club for more in- formation. Their represen- tative will be very glad to hear from you.
