Of Education Notes Student Learns Reading Important 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.

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. Let's do it I Did You Know?

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 Did You Know? The top 10 source countries for permanent residents destined to Ontario in 1992 were - Hong Kong 17,855; Sri Lanka 10,699, Poland 9275: India 6932; Philippines 6763; 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. E. John Smith 179 Country Club Dr. Kingston, Ontario Queen's Park Report Alvin Curling, M.P.P. Scarborough North 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."

July 21, 1993 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. Didn't there used to be a Duckworth's Fish and Chip store on Kingston Road in Scarborough. The column heard the group and the new album at a Newfoundland fish and brewis party at the Na- tional Yacht Club. You won't have the same food at The Horseshoe but you'll enjoy the same music. Go for it. THEATRE NEWS: Like Or Man River in the upcoming Uvent produc- tion of Show Boat. The Around and About Your Dining & Entertainment Guide 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. You read it here first. By Marsha Boulton 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. HERITAGE HIGHLIGHTS The Markham Light Opera is touring with A Day in Hollywood, A Night in the Ukraine.

IN PRINT: Of Word Play -What Hap- pens When People Talk by Peter Farb (Vintage Books) . Anthony (Clockwork Orange) I3urgess has written "It is rare to find a book so learn- ed and, at the same time. so entertaining." That would seem to be high praise but is it? After having read the book, we find ourself in company with the highly regarded Mr. Burgess. You see, the key word in the Double B. -Bill and Burgess -assessment is learned. The book is un- doubtedly that but is it in- structive? Is there anything in it that lovers of language don't already know? We think not even though it was first publish- ed in 1973. So it's not instructive but, taken all in all. is decidely entertaining in its ap- proach to and considera- tion d the spoken word. Now don't fall into the Delderfield trap of assum- ing that English is the only true language in the world.

Short- ly afterward. he was wounded at the Battle of Queenston Heights. While he was recovering under Laura's care. American officers occupied their home and Laura was required to cook for them. It is during one particularly travelled routes and check -points. She forded streams. crossed rat- tlesnake infested swamps and ended her journey by climbing the steep Niagara Escarpment. At nightfall, she was discov- ered, exhausted. by a group of Mohawks who formed the prin- cipal British fighting force. They took her to FitzGibbon, boisterous and well -lubricated dining session that Laura apparently overheard the enemy outlining an attack on the British position at Beaver Dams, which was under the command of Lieutenant James FitzGibbon. Before dawn the following day. Secord left her home to warn the troops. The 32 km trek took at least 18 hours. Throughout the inter- minably hot day, Secord avoided who reinforced his position. With the Mohawks as their Allies. the British were victorious. and the consequence was a seri- ous reversal for the U.S. Laura Secord's trek did not become common knowledge for over 40 years. FitzGibbon appeared to take total credit, and despite petitions on her behalf, Laura saw no reward. In 1841. James Secord died, Ieav- ,.

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 chocolates.

Vocalization cannot be introduced into print effec- tively though some inflec- tion or emphasis is passible with the judicious use of italics. Those are just a brace of observations recorded in Word Play. It'd be easy to suggest that the book isn't more than simply a series of scholarly disembowell- ings: easy but inaccurate. Mr. Farb is dearly a linguist (loot up the defini- tion; you'll be surprised) and it shows here. Even so, the book isn't an exercise in esoterica; it's a fact filled, even valuable treatise on that capacity which arguably has placed Man at the head of the animal kingdom. We cannot leave, however, without noting that even Mr. Farb is not above arbitrary error. eg; the plural of suffix is suf- fices, not suffixes. Score one for The Col- umn.

After five consecutive years of decline, housing starts in Canada saw their first improvement last year. according to the 1992 edition of Canadian Hos- ing Statistics. released by Canada Mortgage and Corporation.Housing Low interest rates. 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. Just how strong will de- pend on whether births con- tinue to rise despite the overall aging of the Cana- dian population.

Photo- Kin Wong) 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. an extremely sore right- hand from a shifter pro- blem.) ro- blem.) 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. Roller Skating Clinics The City of Scarborough Recreation.

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.

Among ways he suggests to do this: Find someone to take in the newspaper and those plastic advertising hags full of flyers. 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- sette recorder with your social insurance number or driver's li- cence number. Many police de- partments lend engravers, tree.

A large slab of wood in the door is a sign you're not around! Special locking devices are also available. Use deadbolt-s on doors leading to the outside: locks that need keys from the inside as well as the outside are another alternative. "And most importantly" states Doug Row- lands, "reinforce your door sill." A home alarm system, of course, provides protection and security. The incidence of break-ins is significantly lower in homes protected by alarm systems and insurance com- pany premiums often favour homes with alarms. Advances in alarm -system technology means it's considerably less ex- pensive today to have a home alarm system installed and monitored than it was even a few years ago. And the cost of the alarrn service itself can be less than a dollar a day for com- bined burglar and fire alarm protection. (Don't overlook the need for a smoke detector and a class ABC fire extinguisher!) "When you make the decision to purchase an alarm system, make sure the salesperson n with a reputable company and is in a position to be a resource to you". advises Rowlands.

July 21. 1993 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.

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 Frank Faubert has called the closing of a nightclub at Markham Rd. and Ellesmere Rd. a major vic- tory for community safety. Faubert, who spearhead- ed community action against the club. says Club Taj Mahal. 1221 Markham Rd. was the scene of numerous incidents of il- legal and violent activity.

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.

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.
