Director Pauline Laing
helped seven year old Col-
lege Hill P.S. student
Trevor Cox to realize that
being able to read is impor-
tant. In the company of his
mother and his grade 2
teacher Jean Neilly,
Trevor explained to
trustees how, on the advice
of the Director who visited
tfis school recently, he con-
tacted Doug Gilmour of the
Toronto Maple Leafs to ask
him if he thought it was im-
portant that hockey
players be able to read
well.
Trevor read Doug
Gilmour's reply which
stressed that reading the
daily newspaper. reading
letters from sports fans.
reading books for pleasure
during leisure off season
time. and reading con-
tracts and advertising pro-
posals were critical to both
his personal enjoyment and
his career. Trevor admit -
led that be had a new
perspective on the need to
read well and would give
his best effort to this very
worthwhile endeavour.

Bob's Notes by Bob Watson
They're All Wrong
Well, the mayors of North York and Scarborough are on a
campaign apparently to kill Metro Council! But Metro
Councillor Howard Moscoe wants to kill all the local
municipal councils so Metro could be boss!
They are all wrong. The answer to many of our municipal
problems is that Metro is used by the Ontario government
to finance the whole province.
In our opinion the answer is for the four regions - Halton.
Peel. York and Durham - to join with Metro Toronto and
form a new province I Then regional g6vernments could be
replaced by one pro%-incial government! The local
municipal governments would stay in place - after all they
are the only governments close to the people.
With over 3 million people the new province of York
would be larger in population than most current provinces.

Why Is A French Ouebecer Heading Commission?
Dear Sir:
One reads with satisfaction of a five member commission
to stuilly education problem in Ontario. One agrees that im-
provement is long overdue when one reads of the ap-
preciable number of high school students who am illiterate
on leaving school. However. it is curious that the commis -
Sion is largely under the direction of a French Quebecer
who will offer her suggestions on the teaching of English. as
-a-ell as other subjects, to students who are already English
speaking -
One might suggest that Mde. Begin's time might be bet-
ter spent on advising the Quebec School Boards on the
teaching of ElfiglLsh them, wtuch is now done poorly and
reluctantly in Quebec.
One also finxis it curious, to put it politely, that Mr. Rae
and his henchmen have not been able to find a qualified
English Ontanain to head this very important corrimmion
whose budget is stated to be some $3 million. Hiring an
Flnglish Ontartain would not only please the English citizens
but would also serve to keep miost of our several millm
dollars here in Ontario.
However, it is not altogether surprising that this hiring of
French personnel is taking place when one remembers the
recent demon to proceed with the building of a secondary
school for the use of some 100 to 150 French students in this
aren at a cost of about $8 to 9 million, a rather large sum for
a small number of students who could be easily accom-
modated in the present system.
The future additional burden of the expenses of this
school will be added to the already heavy one now in ex-
istence. One can well imaigirte that if such a similar turing
of an Fisglish person to head up such a body in Quebec the
howls of protest would be heard far and wide in that pro-
vince and would no doubt be ascribed to further persecution
by English Canada.
In the light of the recent budget, details seerned to be
mostly devoted to description of the murderous taxes ap-
plied to all but the poverty stricken. and there seemed to be
little mention of reduced expenses. It is perhaps ap-
propriate to mention here a proposal, now approved by the
local municipal authorities and, one assumes by Mr. Rae's
Government, of the construction of a facility occupying
some 15 acres of prime land in the vicinity of Kingston.
This facility is being designed for the exclusive use of the
local French citizens, perhaps some 4000 to 5000 in number,
and to be used for the promotion and extension of the
French culture and language.
This building will contain recreational facilities, some

The top 10 source countries for permanent residents

China 4950. Iran 4652, Somalia 4561; Vietnam 3793 and USA
commercial space, etc . The cost of this facility is said to be
about $8 ffullion. One is entitled to wonder how much of our
new taxes will be devoted to this worthy cause. Since the
cost to Ontario citi for the promotion, advancement
and advantage of the French Canadian in the teaching of
French. French radio and TV is already in excess of SM
nullion. the English are well entitled to know the exterd of
the enormous cost involved in the favouring of the French
minority in this province.'Ibis state of affairs is at variance
vnth the treatment accorded to the English minority in
Quebec.

The goverritatent's harshly punitive policies and unfair
tax and fee hikes force Ontario seniors to pay a high price
for NDP policies, according to Liberal Opposition Leader
Lyn McLeod.
"Senior citi have spent a lifetime working, raising
families and paying taxes, and now when it's time to relax
and enjoy life, the NDP government punishes them with
higher taxes, new fees and stalls on legislation that will
benefit their quality of life," McLeod said an June 29th.
According to I.Aberal Opposition Cnbc Yvonnie O'Neill,
government measures that penalize Ontario seniors in-
clude: the removal of 230 prescription drugs from the On-
tario Drug Benefit Plan; the introduction of user fees to the
ODB plan, the removal of the commiencal sector from
home health care; and increased rates for long term care
and a lack of action on the Iaghtman Report. which was
commissioned to protect seniors living in unregulated rest
and retirement homes.
"Added together, these measures impose a significant
burden on seniors," McLeod added. "It's apparent Bob Rae
and the NDP are not keeping track of the combined
impact."
"Bob Rae has to stop expecting seniors to carry the
burden of his government's bad fiscal management and
chaotic economic policies." said O'Neill, M.P.P. for
Ottawa -Rideau. "People of all ages should be concerned
about how this government treats its older citizens, people
who have spent a lifetime working for the betterment of this
province."

Bill Watt's Worlds
AL FRESCO:
Shakespeare outdoors
can be a dreadful ex-
perience. It can be plagued
by uncomfortable seating,
unsophisticated audiences,
flying insects and deadly
humidity.
It can also be sublime
lolling on a gentle slope
surrounded by an en-
thusiastic, albeit execrably
dressed, audience while
caressed by cooling sum-
mer breezes.
The latter was our
pleasure while viewing the
Canadian Stage Company's
eleventh Dream in Nigh
Park. This year's play
from the master is Twelfth
Night and the production is
most enjoyable marred on-
ly occasionally by less than
perfect sound.
Director Jeannette
Lambermont has her
players heel to the
discipline of Shakespere's
words per se but also
allows them sufficient
leeway to assess the au-
dience and deliver accor-
ding to what seems best at
any given juncture.
The best at it is Richard
McMillan as Malvolio
especially in his capering
mode. He's funny but never
ludicrously so and -this is
important -he is always
Malvobo.
Ellen -Ray Hennessy is
strong in an essential brit-
ches role but her feminity
is always evident. The role
is not a lightweight one as
some have suggested.
Taken too far. it can be far-
cical. Taken not far
enough, it can be insipid.
Miss. Hennessy is just
right.
Roger Barton and Steve
Cumyn are Belch and
Aguecheek and one
suspects they might have
been inclined to go broad
with the roles if permitted
but firm direction reins
them in.
Heidi Verwey and
Charlotte Moore as Olivia's
maid and astrologer
respectively are properly
bawdy while Shannon
Lawson epitomizes as her
gentlewoman.
Those who know the
works of Shakespeare will
be aware that we've men-
tioned only a few of the ex-
cellent performers in this
production and their inclu-
sion here should not be con-
strued as the assignment of
star status. In any work by
Shakespeare. all per-
formers are stars.
Now having written that,
allow us to mention Alex
Fallis as Feste, the fool and
de factor or implied
chorus. What he is asked to
do he does well but one has
misgivings over the
characterization given to
or assumed by him.
It seems to us that sar-
donicism has been replac-
ed by malevolence; insou-
ciance by insolence, resign-
ed acceptance by fatalism.
This Feste is disturbing.
not amusing. A good per-
formance but not one that
should perhaps be ex-
pected.
The overall production
makes excellent use of the
setting and the original
music by Phyllis Cohen
seems all of a piece though
The Column stands by its
belief that Shakespeare
should not have music ex-
cept for the songs written
as part of the play.
For those who might be
unaware. the presentation
is free though minimum
donations are cheerfully
accepted. The play's ap-
proximate ruining time is
two and a half hours with
no intermission. Be
prepared
IN THE CLURti:
Look to the Sea is the title
of the new album by the
Newfoundland band The
Irish Descendants. It'll be
distributed nationally by
Duckworth Distribution, a
St. John's based company.

tional Yacht Club. You

Phantom of The Opera just
keeps rollin' along at The
Pantages due in part to the
large number of repeat
viewers. It's the kind of
show that invites repeat at-
tendance.
It premiered in
September of '89 and many
of the original cast
members are still with the
show and that includes
Colm Wilkinson, for whom
the title role might well
have been created. Even
Mr. Wilkinson has to take a
vacation from time to time,
however, and is doing so
until Aug. 1st.
During his absence the
role will be filled by Chris
Groenendaal who's no
stranger to it having
played it on Broadway, in
Calgary and Montreal and
previously in Toronto.
Another cast member
still with the show is Donna
Rubin remembered fondly
from her time with the Na-
tional Ballet of Canada.
Good ballet dancers are
also good actors and ac-
tresses as Miss Rubin
demonstrates so well.
Another member at The
National is soon to prove
the point on broadway.
Margaret Illmann has been
selected to play the lead in
The Red Sboes opening
Dec. 2nd at the Gershwin
Theatre (Previews from
Nov. 2nd). She will play the
role originated in the mo-
tion picture by Moira
Shearer.
Miss Illmann joined The
National in 1989 as a
member of the corps and
was a Principal Dancer by
1991. She's stunningly
beautiful and is tailor made
for her new role.
The score is by Jules
Styne, book and lyrics by
Marsha Norman. It's not
known as this is written if
Miss Illmann will sing but
one expects so. If she sings
as well as she dances, then
watch for her to become
the new Gwen Verden.

BEAVER DAMS, UPPER
CANADA. JUNE 22. 1813 —
What famous Canadian heroine
waited almost 5() years for her deed
to be officially acknowledged:'
Laura Secord, whose name has
become synonymous with boxed
chocolates. was a genuine heroine
of the War of 1812. However. her
place in history was not recog-
nized for many years. and even
then her act of courage was often
tethered to an imaginary cow.
Laura Ingersoll was born in
Massachusetts in 1775. Her
father. Thomas. who had been a
Patriot in the American Revolu-
tion. decided to take advantage of
land grants offered in Upper
Canada and moved his family to
Oxford Township in 1793.
Laura married James Secord in
1797. He was a son of Loyalists
and worked as a merchant. By
1812. the Secords maintained a
modest home near Queenston
Heights where they lived with
their Live children.
When the United States
declared war against Great Britain.

anything in it that lovers of

So it's not instructive but,
taken all in all. is decidely

The 32 km trek took at least 18

Her bravery was finally offi-
cially recognized when the Prince
of Wales, later King Edward VII,
visited Niagara Falls in 1860.
Secord's was the only woman's
name on a list of 500 veterans
of the War of 1812 which was
presented to the Prince.
In 1861, the Prince sent Secord
100 English pounds ($250). It was
the only financial reward she
received for her deed.
Fame came slowly, and often
inaccurately. An early historian
embellished the tale by adding a
cow, which Secord was said to
have used as a decoy.
Following her death at 93 in
1868, several monuments were
erected in her honour. In 1913,
Senator Frank O'Connor chose
her name for his new brand of

buyers' market conditions
and two federal housing
programs led to an in-
crease in all major types of
construction for a total of
168,271 units last year.
Residential renovation
spending totalled 817.3
billion in 1992, representing
nearly half (46.1 percent)
of the total residential con-
struction expenditure.
The number of mortgage
loans increased by 9.4 per-
cent, while the dollar value
of homes purchased went
up by almost 19 percent.
This reflects higher house
values as well as higher
loan to value ratios, the
report states.
The report also shows,
however, that single parent
families led by women are
seven times more likely to
be in core housing need
than two parent
households.
Seventy-three percent. or
850,000 of all households in
need, were renters. Seniors
and single parent families
are most likely to be in core
housing need, the report
shows.
According to the report,
the overall cost of hosing
was unchanged last year,
despite some regional
variations. The 1992 New
House Price Index record-
ed no gain. In 1991, the in-
dex posted a 6.8 percent
loss and a 14 percent in-
crease in 1990.
International migration
will continue to make a
strong contribution to
Canada's population
growth, the report adds.

pend on whether births con-

dian population.

Scarborough's Paul Tracy Wins
by Jerry Hudson
This is the year 24 year
old Scarborough barn In-
dycar racer Paul Tracy
truly came of age. After
winning the Long Beach
Grand Prix in April and the
July 11 race in Cleveland,
Tracy is the first Canadian
driver ever to take a win in
a Canadian Indycar event,
last weekend's Molson In-
dy.
Tracy drove his
Marlboro Penske PC93
Chevy V$ C to a flawless
victory over second place
team mate Emerson Fit-
tipaldti to make it a one two
sweep for team owner
Roger Penske. Of the 103
laps contested on the 1.73
mile temporary street cir-
cuit at Toronto's Exhibition
Place, both drivers twice
had the lead, but it was
Tracy who regained that
lead on lap 73 and was
never beaded
Journalists used to call 16
year old Tracy "The
Clam" when he earned his
Formula Ford 1600 cham-
pionship in 1985 because of
his reticence to answer our
questions. Ask a leading
question, (as we are won't
to do) and at that time all
we'd get would be, "Yes",
or "No". But now, fully
matured, confident and ar-
ticulate Tracy remarked,
"It was my best race. This
is a great day for me, my
family, my friends, my
team and for Canada.
When asked if he and Fit-
tipaldi were under any
"team orders" regarding
who was to finish where,
Tracy told us, "The only
orders we got from Roger
were not to hit each other
and take each other out.
Other than that, we were
allowed to race."
Danny Sullivan was the
third place finisher in the
race and for once had no
contact with team mate Al
Unser, Jr. who came in
fifth. The two have had
numerous incidents of hit-
ting each other throughout
the season, and Sullivan
quipped, '.Funny - those
were my orders too!"
( Bobby Rahal split that duo
coming in fourth, but with
gram is a terrific way to
show these dedicated
coaches just how valuable
they truly are to us.

It was an exciting race
under perfect skies, nam-
ing a total of almost one
hour and 59 minutes. There
were three yellow -flag cau-
tion periods totalling
eleven laps, the major one
when rookie Andrea
Montermini spun his
Chevy !Lola into the 'Ian
One wall and Willy T.
Ribbs hit the opposite wall
avoiding him but blocking
the track.
Other Canadian in the
race were Toronto's Scott
Goodyear who set fastest
time in Sunday's warmup
but could only manage
ninth in the race, partly
due to a pit -stop under rac-
ing conditions when he
suspected a tire was
deflating. Vancouver's
Ross Bentley completed
only 28 laps before
transmission problems
forced him to retire.
The Indycar drivers next
visit the super -speedway of
Michigan International for
a 500 mile race oo the Aug.
lst holiday weekend.

Toronto Comes Alive
With Caribana Parade
For two weeks every
summer, Toronto's
downtown streets are filled
with the sights and sounds
of Caribbean culture -steel
bands, calypso, soca and
reggae music. Caribana is
an explosion of costumes,
dancing, music and great
times, winding up with one
of the most exciting
parades in the world!
Caribana, a celebration
of the city's 300.000 Carib-
bean community, will be
held this year from July
19 -Aug. 2. The festival is
Canada's second largest
annual event and is one of
the biggest celebrations in
North America.
Caribana, once a festival
for Caribbean peoples, is
now an event that appeals
to, and attracts, people of
all backgrounds. Toronto's
many multicultural com-
munities make the city the
perfect place to stage this
entertainment extravagan-
za.
Caribana will be official-
ly launched July 19 at the
hub of downtown Toronto,
City Hall's Nathan Phillips
Square. A spectacular pro-
gram of dance, moonlight
cruises, costume competi-
tions, music festivals, a
masquerade ball, and of
course, the eight hour
parade on July 31, make
the festival one of the hot-
test events of the summer.
The day long parade, the
highlight of Caribana,
lights up the streets of
Toronto with colour and
movement. Participants
prepare all year for this
spectacular event creating
breath -taking costumes
and floats to showcase
their creativity. Each
group will depict a theme
ranging from history, cur-
rent events, film, social
commentary and carnival
tradition. Over one million
enthusiasts line the parade
route each year.

Put lights. several of them, on
timers and set the timers to turn
lights on and off at hours that
make sense, say 8 to 10 p.m. in
the living room or the family
room, 9 to 11 p.m. in the master
bedroom. Don't change the set-
tings of blinds or drapes from
where you normally keep them.
Leaving them all closed is
broadcasting that you're not
around. Have the outside lights
on tinnier% as well. Lights left on
24 hours a day are a sign you're
not there to turn them off.
If you base a lawn and you're
planning to he away for loner
than 10 days. ask someone to
water and cot the grass for you
If you have a freestanding
mailbox, make arrangements to
have it emptied. Asking the post
office to hold your mail is an
option, but it means notifying
people at the post office that
you will he away. Enlist a relia-
ble neighbor. friend or relative
to gather the junk mail that will
still be delivered to your door.
You could opt to suspend news-
paper delivery, but that would
entail advising yet more
strangers of your absence. Ask
whoever is picking up the mail
to get the paper too.
Leave your itinerary with a
trusted neighbor or friend, as well
as numbers at which you can be
reached in case of an emergency.
Leave a radio on, perhaps
connected to a timer if you're
_.)ne for a while. And turn
n the volume on your tele-
•h,,ne. Don't leave a message
o our answering machine that
says you're out of town.
And never leave a note on
the door.
Ask a neighbor to use your
garbage cans: an empty can is a
tip-off that you're not around.
If you have a second car, leave
it in the driveway or ask a neigh-
bor to park in your driveway.
Engrave valuable items like
the television set and video cas-

National Party Launches
Drive In Scarborough East
Canada's newest
political party, The Na-
tional Party of Canada, has
just launched a major
membership drive in the
riding of Scarborough
East. The party's organiza-
tion in the riding is headed
up by West Hill resident,
Henry McGuirk, who has
been working diligently in
the riding since joining the
party shortly after its foun-
ding in November of 1992.
Mr. McGuirk says that
interest in the National
Party is steadily growing
as people become aware of
the party and its stand on
various issues. One way the
party intends to get the
message out to the public is
by holding a series of
public meetings throughout
the riding. These meetings
will feature a special guest
speaker followed by a ques-
tion and answer period.
The first meeting is
slated for July 28 at the
Heron Park Community
Centre on Lawrence Ave.
E. and others are currently
being set up. According to
Mr. McGuirk. the National
Party certainly does intend
-a field a candidate in the
upcoming federal election:
in fact. a committee is now
being formed to oversee
the candidate selection pro-
cess and then an open
nomination meeting will be
held to elect the party's
candidate.

Mel Hurtig, hopes that the
party will nominate as
many as 200 candidates
and assures us that the Na-
tional Party will have a
huge impact during the
campaign.
The National party has a
policy of not accepting
donations from any cor-
poration. trade union or
special interest group. It is
opposed to the current free
trade deal with the U.S.
and would reject the pro-
posed North American
Trade Deal. The party is
committed to bringing
democracy back to the
decision making process
and taking power away
from lobbyists or special
interest groups and return-
ing it to the people.
Criminal Justice System
On Trial Says Cobbold
Canadians have every
right to be outraged by the
apparent light sentence
given to Karla Homolka in
St. Catharines on Tuesday,
says Reform Candidate for
Don Valley North. Peter
Cobbold. He added that the
criminal justice system
itself is on trial in this case.
"The whole
Homolka Teale case - the
crime itself. the trial, the
publication ban and the
sentencing, is one big com-
merical for criminal
justice reform," said Cob-
bold. "When someone in-
volved in the murder of two
teenaged girls only gets
twelve years - four years
with parole - Canadians
have every right to demand
an explanation...
"The real story here is
that the criminal justice
system itself is being put on
trial," Cobbold observed.
`Canadians' faith in their
justice system has been
undermined so often that
people are even divided
over whether the publica-
tion ban is in the public in-
terest. or if it's being used
to cover up defects in the
system. '
Cobbold said that it re-
mains to be seen if justice
will be served in this
tragedy. "Once the second
trial is over, it is im-
perative that all the facts
be made known as quickly
as possible," said Cobbold.
Violent Club Closed
Scarborough Councillor

According to Faubert,
the club's liquor licence
was temporarily suspend-
ed after the shooting for
reasons of public safety. A
police investigation of the
club also revealed
numerous violations of the
provincial Liquor Licens-
ing Act, including serving
alcohol to minors and serv-
ing alcohol after hours.
"Closure of the club is a
tremendous relief for
residents in the
neighbourhood," Faubert
said. "Given the nature of
the incidents at the club,
people were genuinely
afraid for their safety. In
fact, because of the
shooting. many people
were afraid to conn for-
ward to organize petitions
or lodge formal com-
plaints.,.
Although the Club Taj
Mahal is now shut down,
Faubert is concerned that
the club owners may try to
resume business at a later
date.
"It's been demonstrated
quite clearly that this Club
is a threat to community
safety. For that reason
alone, I will oppose any ef-
fort to have this club re-
opened in Scarborough,"
Faubert commented.

Last year, more than 260,000 dogs in Ontario were on a

More Dogs With Heartworm Disease
Canine heartworm
disease. a serious illness
affecting dogs. continues to
be diagnosed in un-
protected dogs throughout
Ontario. Another 408 cases
of canine heartworm
disease were reported dur-
ing 1992 alone.
According to Dr. Walter
Ingwersen, President-elect
of the Ontario Veterinary
Medical Association,
.'heartworm is a potential-
ly debilitating disease.
however the good news is
that it is preventable."
Canine heartworm
disease is caused by
parasitic worms that in-
vade a dog's heart,
resulting in impaired blood
flow and damage to the
heart. lungs and liver. In
cases where damage to the
internal organs is exten-
sive, the condition can be
fatal.
These recent statistics on
heartworm disease were
compiled from a scientific
survey of Ontario
veterinarians conducted by
Dr. Owen Slocombe, a
parasitologist at the
University of Guelph.
Survey findings also
reveal the number of corn-
munities where heartworm
disease was found. Dr. In-
gwersen says that in 1992.
the disease was reported in
78 towns and cities across
Ontario.
Heartworm is spread by
mosquitoes which transmit
the disease from infected
dogs to healthy dogs. One
dog can be the source of in-
fection for a whole
ne"ghbourhood.
Public awareness is the
key to fighting the spread
of canine heartworm
disease," says Dr. In-
gwersen. "With simple
preventive medications
available, there is no
reason for Ontario dogs to
be spreading this harmful
disease."
In 1992. there were ap-
proximately 263,000 dogs
protected from heartworm
disease by a heartworm
preventive medication.
