Back New Driver Law A new Ontario law restricting first time drivem is being heralded by North York's Medical Officer of Health as the most progressive step towards reducing camage on the highways since the introduction of mandatory seat belts. The law restricts new drivers from driving'at night, driv- ing after drinking alcohol and imposes limitations on the hours they can drive. It will affect up to 775,000 people who seek new licences in Ontario every year. "The new Ontario law %ill do more to protect the lives of motorists than any safety measure since 1%8 when seat belt use became mandatory in Ontario." said Dr. Graham Pollett. "Graduated licences allow novice drivers of all ages a chance to become confident on the road while reducing the risk they pose to themselves and others." he added. "Ibis law recognizes that driving should be an eamed privilege, not a right." Traffic accidents are the number one killer of Canadian teens and account for 43 percent of all deaths among the 16 - 19 year old age gmup. Drivers 19 and under are almost twice as likeiv as older drivers to be involved in alcohol- related crash�s. In 1991 there were 1,100 traffic fatalities in Ontario. "Hopefully, lawmakers in other provinces will rnove to reduce traffic accidents and deaths by following Ontan'o*s example." said the Medical Officer d Health. In New Zealand and the United States. restrictions on new- drivers dramaticaliv reduced fatalities and injuries. Ontario Transportation Minister Gilles Pouliot predicted it would reduce traffic fatalities in Ontario when he introduc- ed the legislation Thursday.

Scarborough West Mr, Tom Wappel (Scarborough West): Mr. Speaker, on Thursday General Motors is going to close the doors to its very profitable van plant located in my riding of Scar- borough West and relocate its operations to Flint, Michigan. This will result in a loss of jobs for 3,000 highly skilled auto workers. affecting thousands of families aria causing more job losses in related industries. I ask the Nfinister of Finance exactly which elements of his stale budget, the flawed free trade agreement and his government's failed economic plan will help these 3,000 workers and the families that his government pretends to care about. Mon. Michael Wilson (Ntinister of Industry, Science and Technology and Minister for Internatioaril Trade): Mr. Speaker, I think if my hon. friend looks at the experience that we have had in the automotive sector. he %ill see that Canada has increased its share of the production in the automotive sector over the course of the past 10 years. Mr. Marchi: What is Chicago doing? Mr. Wilson (Etobicoke Centre): That does not take awav from the fact that these people in Scarborough and in some other parts of the automotive sector have lost their jobs, but ever all in the industry we have increased employment, we have increased produ�tion and we have increased our share of the productive capacity in this country. Air. Fontana: Thank!, for the auto paci. Mr. Derek Lee (Scarborough- Rouge River): Mr. speaker. my supplementary is for the Nfinister of Emplov- ment and Immigration. We in Scarborough are losing 3,0(X) skilled jobs and a valuable facility which has earned General Motors a net profit of about $2 billion over the last 10 years. Ibis highly skilled work force is now being disbanded and liquidated arid decent hard working families are now being devastated by this plant closure. I ask the rninLsler of employment: Why did the govem- ment permit this tragic economic loss to occur, Mon. Bernard %*alcourt (Ministerof Employment and trn- migration): Mr. '44*aker. the hon. member fails to mention that in December 1991 GM announced its plans to retire 74.000 employees in all of its operations. How did we cope with the situation at Scarborough? It was by working as a departrix-nit along with the province of Ontario. GM and the Canadian autornobile workers to establish an industrial adjustment corturtittee which is in place. It is there to help those worker-, and the work is ongo- ing. Mr - Fontana: They w2nt a job. not a handout. Mr. Vak-ouirl: These people affected can benefit from all proemins that are in the place at the federal level. at the provincial level and work with the union in order to help these workers retrain and have access to offier jobs. 11 ILU $10,000 Into The Bank Scarborough resident James Campbell plans to bank the $10.000 he won playing Wintario.

Address, Wed. May 26.1993 THE NEWS POST Page:1 Scarborough General First Hospital To Perform Laser Prostate Surgery Scarborough General Hospital has become the first hospital in Metro Toronto, and only the fourth in Canada, to per- form ground breaking pro- state reduction surgery us- ing the latest in laser technology. On May 6, Dr. William Mdwin and Dr. Edward Woods accomplished the first laser assisted surgery for benign prostatic hyperplasia at Scar- borough General Hospital. Knwon as a visual laser assisted prostate or VLAP, the new procedure will not only reduce the risk to pa- tients. but will be perform- ed on an out patient basis eliminating the need for a three or four day hospital stay. The result is greater convenience for patients and reduced hospital costs. Prostate surgery is re- quired when the prostate gland, a walmit shaped organ located beneath the bladder which produces seminal fluid. becomes enlarged. Statistics Canada reports there are about 40.000 prostate surgeries done in Canada each year, the majority by the standardized tran- surethral resections of the prostate (TURP).The number is growing as Canada's population ages. since enlargement of the prostate gland affects men in their late 50s and olider. Drs. Baldwin and Woods received their training in the new Laser procedure in Florida earlier this year. They say sonic of the American physicians whio pioneered this new technology think VIAP will be so successful that it will replace the traditional methods of prostate surgery. In the old method, an in- strument is passed through the penis to trim away part of the prostate. Possible complications from the hour long operation can in- clude the risk of incon- tinence andior impotence, while recovery takes about four to six weeks. In visual laser assisted prostate surgery, a small telescopic device is in- serted into the penis, and a laser fibre is threaded through it. The laser is then fired for a pre -determined amount of time at several sites (usually 60 seconds per site). The dead tissue from the prostate is slough- ed off in the patient's urine over two to four weeks with no bleeding and only mild irritation. This new laser surgery improves operating tinie and diminishes the amount of anaesthesta required by the patient. As well. there is virtually no blood loss. thus avoiding any potential risks associated with blood transfusions. This new procedure is an example of how Scar- borough General is con- tinuously exploring new ap- proaches for using exMing resources more effidently. The procedure requires the use of the his YAG laser (donated by the Scar- borough Fire Department), after it has been modified by Bard Canada Inc. and following a determination from the Urology Division that the new technology would be successful. The YAG laser also is used by the hospital's plastw surgeons and gynecologists. 7be hospital is also fortunate to have a number of laser qualified nurses working in the operating room, without whom these pro- cedures could not be per- formed. "Scarborough General Hospital contacted us because they believe in the technology. It's the way of the future," says Howard ]Gymas, Product Manager, Uroiogical Specialties for Bard Canada Inc. lCyrrias says the VLAP technology offers the same results as the old method, but with far greater benefits to both the patient and the hospital. Bard Canada supplies Scarborough General with special fibres needed to modify the YAG laser machine for the urological surgery. The Urolase fibre is a long laser quartz fibre fitted with a gold-plated alloy reflector which Agincourt C.I.Meeting The final meeting of the year of the Agincourt C.I.

Dr. Baldwin and Dr. Woods kept their first two patients overnight for observation just to be on the safe side, but Dr. Baldwin says both opera- tions were completely suc- cessful. -The patients just sailed through it."

Special Art Exhibition The Canadian Guild of Folk Painters, Guildicrest Chapter has announced a special exhibition featuring the work of Angela Mad- sgaard. A resident of Peter- borough, Angela Mad- sgaard paints in a unique style -part sophisticated folk art and part modern graphic. Her work is col ourful, detailed, sometimes symmetrical and always a reflection of her joyful nature and optimistic outlook. Artistic talent is often revealed when life throws an unexpected curve. In Angela's case this proved true when Muscular Dystrophy caused a lifestyle change. Angela's work is in private collec- tions throughout North America and has been ex- hibited in various galleries in Southern Ontario. Her last solo show was in 1990 at the Able -Disabled creative Arts Centre in Toronto. The show will be official- ly opened on Tues.

Featuring ar- tifacts relating to the history and architecture of the I;ome of provincial parliarnent. the Centennial Exhibit will be on display in the North Heritage Room in the Legislative Building at Queen's Park. The Centennial Exhibit focuses on an impressive design and technological innovation. highlighting the details that make the Ontario Legislative Building unique. Original architectural drawings by Richard A. Waite and E.J. Lennox on loan from the Archives of Ontario, will be among the artifacts featured at the exhibit. Waite was the architect of the Legislative Building at Queen's Park. During the six vear construction period, Waite supervised every aspect of the Building's design. Lennox redesigned the West Wing after the fire of 1909. Reproductions of Waite's drawings and old photographs of the interior of the building will also be on display. Other artifacts include a Member's desk and chair used in the first session of Legislature held at Queen's Park and a Union Jack made from the remnants of the first flag flown from the building when it opened on Apr. 4, IN3. The nag is also on loan from the Archives of Ontario. When the Ontario Legislative Btnkbng open- ed in 1893 under the premiership of Sir Oliver Mowat. it introduced a new architectural style called Richardson Romanesque to the province. Curated by Anne de Fort-Menares of Toronto-based Resource Data. the artifacts in the Centennial Exhibit il- lustrate aspects of this ar- chitectural style. The Centennial exhibit, coordinated by exhibit con- sultant Kathryn Pankowski and designed by Sears and Russell Consultants Limited, Toronto. closes at the end of September.

Frequently there must be an element of chutzpah, a Yiddish word that Oxford defines as shameless audacity. With it, however, one can be successful even without outstanding talent. In the pop field consider Diana Ross. As a back up singer she was, and presumably still could be, supreme. As a soloist she is only poco poco but backed Three times daily young girls in kimonos will per- form for the audienice. Admission is $15 on Saturday and S5on Sunday. Ouifting Workshop For Kids The Scarborough Historical Museuirn is offer- ing a new quilting workshop for children on Sdt.

The paucity of that talent is evident on recordings and especially when she at- tempts the emulation of others. As example. we offer Stolen Moments (Motown A & M), This is a live performance recorded last Dec. 4th at the Ritz Theatre in New York. On it the lady takes on a number of standards-. . and loses.

Justice Bills Respond to Canadians Justice Minister Pierre Blais has introduced two pieces of legislation that respond to the concerns of Canadians. The first bill responds to the seriousness of violence against women, child abuse and family violence. This is followed by a second bill, which will offer better protection to children from the harmful effects of pornography. In an effort to increase the protection of women, a new of- fence of criminal harassment (commonly referred to as stalking) has been created. It prohibits anyone from repeatedly communicating with or following another per- son. any member of their family, or anyone known to that person. To increase the protection of children. a new provision will allow judges to prohibit sex offenders afrom frequenting places where children congregate and from being employed in positions of trust over children. In adclitiori, a number of changes are proposed to facflitate the giving of evidence in court by child witnesses. including allowing judges to prohibit the accused from personally cross- examining the child. The judge can opt to provide counsel for the accused in this respect. This upholds the accused's right to defend himself in court. but it also spares the child from the trauma of confronting the accused. in addition. a support person, such as a parent or grandparent can ac- company the child and sit with them while the chdd is testi- fying. This proposed legislation was followed by other anmid- ments to the Crurrunal Code that would define child por- nography as including photographic. film, video. or other visual representations showing a person under the age of IS engaged in explicit sexual activity. Other amendments would prohift the possession. production. sale and distnbu- tion of child pornography. This proposed legislation recognizes that children are vulnerable and need to be "ected from the harmful ef- fects of child sexual abuse and sexual exploitation. CmKkwt that fosters and exploits the harm and humiliatwn to which children are exposed simply cannot be tolerated. and must be punished harshly. i4lule these bdIs; are receivu* widespread support from Canadians. it is intet ing to see opponents of the govern- ment refer to them as mere public relations measures as we i P - an eliection. %,Xbu* could be farther from the truth. The child pornography legislation represents the third time since 1996 that the government has attempted to change the law respecting pornography. a ver -y contentious issue. The Last couple of years have seen 14 pieces of legisiatwri produced by the Justice DeRrtment. These mcluded a tightening 4 the Young Offenders Act. changes to the Criminal Code regarding sexual assault. and strengthening of the Gun Control Act. This government has not been resting on its Laurels in the area of justice legislation. on the contrary it has initiated a number of laws that target the safety of Canadians as a number one priority. The laws that have recently been passed attest to this commitment. And I am glad to see two mom join this package of reforms.

Lee is confident that -significant support across the coun- try from concerned groups and from all sides of the House of Commons for this package. will ensure continuing sup- port for such reforms and will push this initiative to the forefront of the legislative agenda in Ottawa." Lee also stated that he is especially pleased to have the support of his colleague from Red Deer on this matter because "it's a lot easier to accomplish things in Parlia- ment if we work in a non-partisan manner and Doug and I have done that over the years as members of the Justice Committee " Metro Separate School News 11ilav 28 X Young Authors' Ex- hibit "I be held at St. Wilfrid Catholic School.

The MacMillan team won the intermediate division championship in design and technology defeating several other provincial teams. Rachel Leung, Jebon Uk. Peter Kassaris and Uee McNair designed a futuristic hydraulic system which serviced the needs of a desert community. The design drew upon a limited underground water source which was utilized to provide air conditioning. transportation, energy, sewage treatment, irriga- tion and water for human consumption, The pupils made use of solar and wind energy to augment the town's energy needs. The overall design was practical and functional, and might well be used as a model for future urban planning. the team was coached by Mr. Ron Boyd, Design and Technology teacher at Sir Ernest Mac - Milian Sr. _r , Ltravel--] What's New In France On Tlie Rouge of St. Jac- ques de Compostelle in Midi-Pvrenees The route to St. Jacques de Compostelle has been declared the "first Euro- pean Cultural Itinerary-, it has lead pilgrims from all over Europe to Santiago, Spain, for hundreds of years.

Fortified Villages of —Bastides" are Unique to the South West —Bastides" are fortified villages typically con- structed during the 13th and 14th centuries in the South Western regions of France for reasons of economics, politics and military . All bastides share a common urban plan, a central square whose dimensions attest to its im- portance. From the central square, the roads cross each other at right angles and all houses are of the same dimensions. Those which faced the square, often prettier, had arcades where artisan shops were set up. To at- tract new settlers to a bastide, the founders gave special rights and privileges where he could later build a house, a lot of earth outside the walls for farming, hunting rights and commerce in the form of a weekly market or other fair. A bastide was above all a way of settling, an ex- change area and a safe and protected way of life. To- day. people have restored th�-� medieval dwellings and reconverted them into villages of very itnique character. Ten such bastides offering hotels, restaurants. markets. vinevards and summer festivals are found in the region of Aquitaine. name- ly: Monpazier. Vianne, I�avarrex. La Bastide Clairence. Eymet.

B.C. when it is 1030 in Grand Falls, Nev-,foundland' ' I The answer is a Standard Time, the globally recognized system of telling time which was invented by a Scoitish-born Canadian, Sir Sandford Fleming. Fleming was 19 when he arrived in Canada prepared to take up a career a-, a draughtsman and surveyor. After completing the survey of several small Ontario towns, he set about mapping the city of Toronto. producing the first usable chart of Toronto's harbour by taking soundings both from a boat and through holes drilled in the winter ice. Fleming's interest in perfecting a universal system of time devel- oped during his work a% the Chief E'rigincer of the Inter -Continental Railroad and the Canadian Pacific Railroad. He discovered that in Canada and other countries the correct time of day was established by Canada sets a standard for the world designating noon as the time when the sun was directi) o%er- head. As a result. if it was noon in Kingston, it was 12 minutes after noon in Montreal ark] 13 minutes before noon in Toronto. Local people were perfectly content with local clock and di% ided the globe into 24 equal zones. When he first presented the con- cept of Standard Time to the Carta - than ln%litule for the Ad%jnce- ment of Scientific Knowledge at Toronto in 1879, Fleming was denounced time. The %ari- a% a Utopian and ations became a promoter of C the w i I I of God. more significant notions which when railroads w ere "contrary it) allowed longer 11L . distances of trav- el over shorier time period,.. The results were confusing. For exam - pie, a journey by train from Hali- fax to Windsor involved having re -set your watch 10 times! Fleming had a talent for spot- ting a simple solution to an incon- venient pr-oblem. He discovered that most ancient civilizations had computed day and night in 12 hour cycles. He combined this into a 24-hour Ult i matel v. Canada adopted Standard Time in 1883. along with all North Aincri- can railway companies. The fol- lowing ycar 25 nations adopted the proposition at a conference in Washington, D.C. Greenwich.

Co - Operative Education Department. Scarborough Board of Education Finding a job in the 1990's - either a part-time or a permanent one - can be one of the toughest assignments a secondary school student undertakes. The teachers of Business English at Lester B. Pear- son Collegiate are doing everything they can to teach their students the job search skills that will give them a competitive advan- tage. One of the teachers. Christine McMahon. asked me, as the author of the textbook used in the course. to conduct mock job interviews with students interested in prac- tising being interviewed by someone they've never met. The students in both Ms. McMahon's class and Mr. Jansen's class took part in an initial brief class discus- sion around the concept of job interviews and their importance in a person's efforts to secure employ- ment. The rest of each of the two school periods was used to "interview" several individual students. 1 guestioned students about their educa- tional and career plaw their personal strengths. and what they presently do to combat stress in their lives. Some of the students wanted their interviews video taped so that they could review the way in which they performed under this kind of pressure. Students received a writ- ten evaluation which gave them objective feedback about their manner of ex- pression and the level of their ability to "sell" themselves. Here are the reactions of a few of the students: "I found the interview very interesting and con- structive. I learned that the interview depends greatly on how I conduct myself. It was time well spent." - Robert Sewell "It was very useful and I will keep all your com- ments and suggestions in mind when 1 go for my in- terviews for summer employment. It was really interesting tro see myself on tape and take notice of the things I need to im- prove." - Nicole Greaves SUMMER SCHOOL 1993 Acceleration Program These courses are designed for students wishing to gain credit in one course which they have not previously studied.
