Durham Board Of Education Notes Changes Made To Board By-law Trustees approved revi- sions to board by-law No.3 which deals with presenta- tions to the board and com- mittee meetings. The new process is more well defin- ed and has strict time lines. Those wishing to present at the committee level must seek approval in writing at least 8 working days before the next scheduled meeting of the committee. The ap- plication must outline the matter to be discussed, any materials intended for distribution to trustees, the name of any party or organization to be represented and the authority of the spokesper- son. The actual presentation must follow the format and protocol included in the Presenter's Package available from the Direc- tor's Office. The number of presentations at each meeting will be limited to allow the committee suffi- cient time to conduct its business. Approval to pre- sent at a board meeting will be at the discretion of the board chairman. Those persons wishing to pose questions to trustees during the board's public question period must sub- mit their questions in writing before the beginn- ing of the meeting. The questioner or, if the ques- tioner prefers, the Com- munications Manager will read the question to the board and the questioner may ask a follow up ques- tion for clarification. As in the past, all questions deal- ing with individual students or staff members, negotiations with staff groups or any topic con- sidered by the board to be confidential will not be entertained during public question period.

Julv 3t. 1993 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Bob's Notes by Bob Watson From The National Citizens Coalition Consensus The City of Toronto has decided to privatize garbage col- lection from apartment buildings. City officials say the move will save Toronto taxpayers about $1.2 million a year. Some city councillors are reportedly also eveing the possibility of privatizing more of Toronto's garbage collec- tion. Public complaints about garbage collection have risen since the city went to a once -a -week collection scheme and some politicians are saying privatization might be one way to improve service. That viewpoint is sure to get a boost from a recently released study on privatized garbage collection. The report shows that residential garbage collection costs were 46 per- cent lower in municipalities which used private companies as opposed to those areas using government workers. The report. financed by the Ontario Waste :Management Association, also shows that private garbage collectors had higher worker productivity and used their equipment more efficiently than their tax -funded counterparts. Objection To Signs Dear Editor: This is an open letter to Gilles Pouliot. Minister of Transportation and Francophone Affairs in Ontario. When we wrote to you some time ago objecting to bil- ingual signs in Ontario. we did not expect that you would reply with nonsensical political gibberage' No matter what improvised justification you come up with that you feel warrants French on sign in Ontario for less than a 5% minority of people. there is none. In this time of fiscal restraint bilingual sign installed in Ontario is typical of the psychic of Canadian politics at the present time. You and your compatriots are determined to force your language and culture on, not only English speaking Ontarians. but the whole of Canada regardless of the tremendous cost and objections from thousands of peeple. Businesses are going bankrupt. food banks are getting bigger, the sick and dying have no hospital bid,. children's fundamental education is jeopardized through government cuts, people are losing their jobs and homes and you pro- mote allotting money to Frenchize Ontano further through bilingual signs that do nothing but confuse motorists. We ask vou. "Where is vour common sense and compas- sion in these recession days' Is your theory. "Promotion of French at any cost in Ontan* There is no law that justifies French on sign to this province' You do this in spite of the bigotry in Quebec that has caused such heart- break with the exodus of fair-minded people in search of an area of freedom and prosperity. At the rate you are going you are directing Ontano toward chaos and regression. Your myopic -sighted promo- tions are unacceptable and intolerable in Ontario and most of Canada. Yours truly.

Oriole Incredible debt a credibility threat By Michael Wyckt Canadians have lost faith in their governments. The cynicism felt towards politicians is so strong it's noxious. These days the only time you hea, a politi- cian's name is when it's pre- ceded by an expletive. What has happened to the reputation of this once honorable profession? Part of the answer can be found in budgets, the fiscal blueprint governments provide to their electorate. A predominant issue m Canada now is government debt and that's where many peo- ple look for leadership from their politicians. Starting with the fed- eral government, Ottawa chose complacency this year, tabling a stand -pat budget which will do little to steal the federal deficit's meteoric rise. Not much of &con- fidence builder there. Provm- craily, some governments actu- ally trend to Impart sound fiscal meascues (Alberta, Marutobaand Newfoundland. for example), and thea taxpayers should gain a measure of confidence as a re- sult. The governments in Quebec and Ontario. however. tabled budges blasting thea taxpayers with tax grabs of S 1.1 billion and S2 billion respectively. Huge fis- cal blunders m the past, and btde else. brought about these hcfty tax tuts. Quebec and Ontario have both made deficit financing unto an an form and both have monstrous debts to show for it. Ontano has pro)ected an askmnhmg $78.6 billion m total debt for 1993-93. Sane comms to power in 1991. the NDP government has man- aged to utcrease the provmcts's total debt by 86 percent Quebec has kept pace with a total debt of S39 billion and deficits of $4.1 billion this year and S4.9 billion last year. Saskatchewan is in even worse shape than Quebec and Ontario; with a smaller economic base to contend with, Saskatch- ewan government brought in aus- terity measures to slash its deficit from $592 million to $296 mil- lion. British Columbia is also no stranger to billion dollar deficits. In its budget, the government deemed it wise, however, to hit British Columbians with multi- ple tax hikes while completely ignoring expenditures. This half- way approach is similar to diet- ing on fresh fruits and vegetables while bunging on the sofa watch- ing TV all day. As it is, most governments have woken up to Canada's debt crisis and the public is applaud- ing this. However• some finance minsters have opted to jack up taxes and cut spending at the same time. hardly a confidence booster when unemployment re- mains high and the recession corxmues its devastation. Under- " all of tins is the badly shaken credibility of the nabon's politi- cians. Only through hard work, honesty and miegrtty will this credibility be earned again. Alx.ne all, the answer to this country's debt cows (and a re- newed reputation for politicians) will only be found when govem- ments, and the pubbc in gtneraL comnut to umfiai action for the good of Canada More about this m the next installment of Main- stream Canada- CF/8 anadaCFiB Featlma Servrcti Queen's Park Report Bob Frankford, M.P.P. Scarborough East The Association of Sri Lankan Graduates of Canada and York University are receiving $32,850 in funding to help identify and address the barriers faced by non-Ontano trained teachers as they seek to practice their profession in this province, Minister of Citizenship Elaine Ziernba an- nounced today. The association is conducting a feasibility study and will develop an action plan to identify and dismantle specific eligibility barriers to entering the teaching profession. Priority areas covered by the study include prior learning assessment and credentials assessment for individuals trained and or educated outside of Ontario. Since the goal of the association is to assist graduates of Sri Lankan origin to become integrated and contributing members of Ontario society, the subjects of this particular study are Sri-Lankan South Asian teachers. The associa- tion, along with the Faculties of Education and Arts and Atkinson College of York University are co-sponsors of the project, and will be working in partnership and consultation with the York and North York Boards of Education and the Ministry of Education and Training. "My Ministry recognizes that newcomers bring valuable skills which contribute to the economic and social well be- ing of this province• and so we are taking steps to ensure that all Ontanans are treated fairly when seeking licensure or certification in professions or trades for which they have Bob Rae's so called social contract legislation is on the books. The NDP used its majority to push the bill through the Legislature after imposing closure to shut down debate. What happens now? Workers and management in the public sector - including school boards, municipalities, col- leges, universities and social service agencies as well as provincial government employees - have until Aug. 1 to work out agreements to meet the governments target of saving $2 billion this year. The timeline is extremely tight, but groups that fail to reach agreement will have the terms of the cuts imposed on them by Queen's Park. Ontario Liberals have been opposed to this bill from the start. People ask me. Why are you opposing a plan that is going to impose restraints on government spending? The answer is simple: this legislation is unworkable and it will not result in savings of $2 billion. Ironically. Bill 48 is anti - restraint because it defers costs for three years. Bill 48 allows "essential" workers - police officers, fire fighters, nurses, ambulance attendants, etc. - to bank up to 36 days of unpaid leave during the next three years. When the social contract legislation expires in three years, these workers would be owed that time off. This means the NDP is deferr- ing up to $3 billion in government spending until 1996 - a ticking time bomb of debt set to go off in the future. In addition, the government plans to reduce its contribu- tions to public sector pension plans by $500 million in each of the next three vears. There are no assurances that this will not put future governments and pensions at risk. How big is the deferred pension bill going to be' The government's demand for $100 million from Ontario Hydro under Bill 48 amounts to a hidden tax on consumers. Additional costs to Hydro can only mean increased rates for Hydro users. I support restraint in government spending. I agree that the government should try to reduce the public sector Payroll by $2 billion. The problem is the way the govern- ment is going about it. instead of trying to work out a com- plicated master plan at Queen's park and then impose it on everyone, we believe the government should have set targets and allowed local bargaining to take place. It's far better for workers and managers at a local hospital to Cud the best way to save money rather than be told what to do by Queen's Park. The social contract legislation is not real restraint. It is a chaotic mess that puts off the debt problem until 19%. Fairness In Our Taxes Justice and fairness in our tax system cannot and should not be expected to be compromised. Nor should Metro tax- payers be expected to respect laws that are not consistent with Metro wide fairness. Since retroactive financial restitution have not been men- tioned in this proposal to be studied by Metro Council the impact portion claimed by the City of Toronto is a fallacious red herring, it spells "give me". Rather any impact concern should be one of restitution of credibility and trust toward their neighbouring municipalities of North York. Scarborough, East York, York and Etobico ke. Any possible alternate assessment plan to Full Market Value Assessment plan that may be proposed will have to withstand an audited scrutiny. The taxpayers of Metro will not readily accept or acknowledge another lemon. This time it will be the credibility of Metro Council we will all be counting on.

"We are pleased to fund projects such as the one undertaken by the Association of Sri Lankan Graduates of Canada which will enhance the quality of Ontario's education system by utilizing the talents of not -Ontario trained teachers. Robert Frankford (MPP Scarborough East I added, .'We anticipate that the action plan resulting from this feasibili- ty study will not only help improve access for Sri Lankan teachers to the education profession, but will ultimately help bring all non -Ontario trained teachers into the pro- vince's workforce." The project undertaken by the Association of Sri Lankan Graduates of Canada for non -Ontario trained teachers is one of six initiatives currently being funded from the Ac- cess to Professions and Trades Demonstration Project Fund of the Ministry of Citizenship. First launched in December 1992 the fund has, to date, provided over $200,000 in funding for projects designed to help improve access for such groups as non -Ontario trained teachers, engineers, dentists, and carpenters. ------------------ Give A Gift That Lasts A11 Year! jA year's subscription to one of these newspapers ' SCARBOROUGH A INCOURT WEST HILL news news news ' CHECK THE NORTH YORK EAST ENDI K RINr, Renewal ONE YOU WANT news ne O St New Send $15 plus 1.05 GST (Total 16.05) cheque, money order or VISA number (plus expiry date) to: Watson Publishing Company Limited 150 Milner Ave., Unit 35 Scarborough, Ont.M1S 3R3 Name _ Address" -i - Wed.

Thomas Jefferson University (Philadelphia ), Massachusetts General Hospital (Han•ard Univer- sity, and General Electric in a $3.3 million, five year study of digital mam- mography. The study begins in August. Sunnybrook will receive $M,006 (U.S.) of the grant money; the rest is divided among other participants. Sunriybrook researchers have been working for a number of years to develop digital mammography. It was their significant con- tributions to this field which won them the coor- dinating role for the research collective. We've been working in this area long enough that we've developed some uni- que expertise," says Sun- nybrook scientist Dr. Mar- tin Yaffe. Drs. Yaffe. Don Plewes and John Rowlands. all of whom are Senior Scientists in the Imaging Research program at Sunnybrook and Professors in the University of Toronto's Departments of Medical Biophysics and Radiology. will head the research col- lective. Digital mammography is a new technology which creates computerized im- ages of the breast. Conven- tional mammograph, in comparison, uses X-ray film to create images. Digital mammograms have the great advantage that details can be magnified or the contrast can be heightened to detect a tiny tumour - all at the touch of a computer key. Dr. Faina Shtern. Chief of the Diagnostic Imaging Research Branch at the National Cancer Institute in Bethesda. Maryland, says digital mam- mography is the most pro- misb* techo ilogy for early detection of breast cancer. -NCI will support the Digital Mammography Develop Grasp to facilitate development, validation and irnplerrnentation of in- tegrated digital systems." she san- ..While competition for NCI funding has been quite intense, the National In- stitutes of Health peer review scored the Universi- ty of Toronto -led group bas- ed at Sunnybrook most favou ably_" The goal of the research collective is to discover what role exists for digital mammography in detec- ting and diagnosing small tumors. "Our belief is that we can do significantly better than conventional mammography," says Dr. Plewes.

TORONTO: Pauly and The Greaseballs, presently playing at the Limelight Dinner Theatre, could be set in Toronto or anywhere in middle class :North America. It's a book show about the attempts of an amateur rock group to make it professionally. Some might see it as an attempt to cash in on the popularity of Forever Plaid. In fact, it's been travelling the circuit for some time now. The pro- duction at The limelight is simply the latest one. Pauly is closer to 40 than 30. He's a bachelor still liv- ing in his mother's rec room while trying to propel himself and his Fleetwood shod Greaseballs into the big time. That's the hook on which the show presents uh, spirited renditions of fifties and sixties rock 'n' roll songs. There are over thirty of them including Runaround Sue. Book of Love. Yaketv Yak. Rubv Babv• Chantilly Lace. Blue de SueShoes. . .too many others to be mentioned here except The Lion Sleeps Tonight. The lion might sleep but the au- dience shooraseell doesn't. There are no artistic pretensions here. The group after which the show is titled might take itself serious) but not the cast charged with bringing it to life. They play it strictly for fun and succeed. Paul Saunders is Paulv. Last seen at The Limelight as Al Capone, he looks like the late Vic Tavbeck ( Mel on the television senes Alice . He's a more than competent singer, has good footwork and a presence all of a keeping with his role. Fans of Britcoms will see him as the :North American counterpart of Ted on Hi De Ho. He's ably supported by Fernando C urcione as his nerd cousin and Robbie Rox as a muscular lout whose intellect is centred in the genitalia. Oh, and there's Joe Dockerty as Paulo's bodyguard schmooze. They all sing and dance well even when the bodyguard is slapping around the nerd in nyuk, nyuk fashion. Supporting musicians are Len Feldman (Keyboards), Brian Wilson, not that Brian Wilson Sillee! (Guitar) and Paul Danesi (Rhythm Guitar. We refuse to call it a bass 1. All are good whether in solo or ensemble and slap together what'd be called in California, a bitchin' good show. Unfortunately. the program notes are nig- gardly and don't let one know who wrote it but we suspect it was Mr. Saunders. Now. just to prove that we write with some degree of authority, here are a few technical observations. Though the show is set in the present, it remains that the music is from the earl• days of White crock 'n' roll. At that time the piano hadn't been replaced by the electronic keyboard nor the upright string bass by bass guitar. drums were still double skin headed and drummers grasped the sticks with the left palm and right hand fingers. And. nerds were called dopes as in The Gentleman Is.. . We have spoken. PADUA: The Padua of Shakespeare's Taming of The Shrew has been moved to North York's Earl Bales Park where Skylight Theatre is performing it in the Barry Zukerman Am- phitheatre. Shrew is arguably sexist but good literature should never be subjected to the narrow minded rantings of special interest groups. End of serrnonette. Beginn- ing of review. Neither, however, should it be subject to cockamamie productions such as this. Oh. it survives alright -it's Shakespeare after all -but only just. The actors in it perform reasonably well but one Around and About Your Dining &Entertainment Guide sees enough in their ob- vious talent to know that they're uncomfortable with the manner in which thev have been directed and the play mounted. No double entendre intended, though it's apropos. In the absence of any program note re pro- duction design, one presumes that director John Bourgeois ( no com- ment on the surname) must be responsible for all the faults one can find. The cmtunting defies any logic. Most of the males wear variations of business suits with short Captain Marvel capes and indeter- minate head dresses that make them look like little more than drunken Shriners in carouse. Petruchio is initially dress- ed like Clint Eastwood in a spaghetti western. Several of the men make entrances on bicycles. Clever, yes' No' The ladies don't fare much better particularly Katherine whose first ensemble is such that it wouldn't be allowed in a low- class Queers Street pub. Well. admittedly casturn- ing isn't everything. What about the direction' Well, what about it' Mr. Bourgeois seems in- tent on playing Shrew strictly for comedy. Fair enough. And. fair enough to be aware that much of Shakespeare's comedy is bawdy. But, it isn't of the kind that belongs in Min - sky's. One can accept only so manv takes and double takes, only so many prat- falls. only so many mugg- ing appeals to the au- dience. And, what's with the fluttering of the hands when making a leg? If there's a basis in historical correctitude, it's unknown to this writer. Is there anything favourable to be said about this production' Of course there is but only in the sense that the play's the WRITAGE HIGHLIGHTS thing• succes d'estime as it were. As well, the actors declaim their lines well. . .so well that at one point we simply closed our eyes and listened. it was pleasurable. Still, one can't appear to be sleeping and must even- tually open the orbs only to be annoyed at the hugger mugger on stage and inci- pient insult to the audience. People who enjoy Shakespeare -others are unimportant -don't need it cotton candied in carnival style. BANGKOK: Manee. pronounced Man - m• is the biggest singing star in Thailand. Now she's invading North America musically and it was The Column's pleasure to join industry movers and shakers at Centro for her live introduction of cuts from Desire. (Quality Records) This Manee is relly something. She looks a lit- tle like a much younger Terri Saunders, the original Madame Thiang of The King and I, with a soupcon of Dorothy Lamour as well. She sings like ... well. like your standard disco queen. That's not at all bad you understand but it's a fact that Manee truly comes in- to her own while perform- ing live. She can caress a melody and metaphoncal- ly stomp a beat all while moving with the practised ease of the East. At Centro she was again backed by Patti Janetta and Debbie Johnson. They're headliners in their own right and !Manee could hardly have better singers behind her.

NOVA SCO- TIA. 1846 -- What Canadian my enter gay e the world a better li_ehl lona, before the lwht hulk' If you knew that a failed horse trader named Abraham Gesner invented kerosene, you may also know that his methods and processes of distilling oil from hydrocarbons led to the eslah- lishment of the entire petrochem- ical industry. Abraham Gesner was a farmer's son. born in 1797 and raised near Cornwallis Dyke. on the west side of the Nova Scotia Peninsula. He spent his youth collecting rocks and dabbling in chemistry. Jobs were scarce in the Mar- itimes following the War of 181 2. so Gesner turned to horse trading. He planned to ship horses to the West Indies for profit. His first venture was successful. however. subsequent attempts floundered — quite literally. Linder the threat of disgrace from his creditors. Gesner's father-in-law sent him to England to attend medical school. Gesner %pent gloorm days in the dissecting rooms and devoted his eveninL,% to discussions of zeulu_v and chemistry with London scientists. Returning to Nona Scotia in I2i27, he chose Parrsboro as the location for his practise more for its interest- ing terrain than for its medical prospects. r ' ccr r<oe P it O J During this time he could often he seen trav- elling the countryside on a horse- back in the company, of Micmac Indians and playing the flute while they helped him gather geological specimens. His published treatises on geol- ogy established his reputation and from 18321 to I h42 he served as geologist for the government of Nona Scotia. His optimistic reports about various mineral deposits led several speculators to rush into ventures that went bankrupt. Gesner was held responsible! He opened a museum of his arti- facts in Saint John, and when it failed, his creditors accepted the collection in place of pay- ment. Many of Gesner'spieces aD.,.T o•, formed part of the foundS- La\l lI C tion of the New ECT ,..a Brunsw ick Museum. Gesner returned to medical practise in Cornwallis, devoting his spare time to scientific experi- ments, and pursuing his interest in refining hydrocarbons. At an 1846 lecture in Prince Edward Island, he introduced a substance he called " keroselain" after a Greek word meaning "wax oil". It was a clear, white oil that he distilled from the treated vapours of heated coal. Watch for the Heritage Minutes on your local television station.

Just havin' ye on Padraic. Honest. The Irish Descendants is are the Newfoundland musical group that bids fair to become the next big name in folk inspired popular music. We were in attendance at the National Yacht Club for their live debut performance of Look To The Sea ( Duckworth ) . So were reps of the majors including Stan Kulin of the powerful Warner Music group. So too was Sam Candles. whale oil and other illuminants of the day produced dingey light and greasy, odorous smoke. "Burning fluid" com- posed of turpentine and alcohol produced a bright light• often accompanied by explosions. Gesner's oil could he handled easily and burned with a brilliant yellow light that produced almost no smoke. In 1854. Gesner secured and sold his patents. Wealthy devel- opers in Long Island, N.Y set up a factory under his guidance. and "kerosene" became the most suc- cessful lamp oil ever produced. Unfortunately business was not his strong suit, and in the late lh50s Gesner found himself released from his position as the company chemist. Abraham Gesner — a true Canadian genius — died in 1864. His other inventions included charcoal briquets, asphalt paving, wood preservative and insulted electrical wire. or community groups. Heart Lake also has a swimming area.

The Irish Descendants are good and so is this album. So good are they that we're inclined to agree with Richard Flohil that it'll soon rival The Rovers. who also started out with an Irish twist to their per- forming name. Their music seems to our ear• to be more varied than that of similar groups. It can be keening, particular- ly when underscored by drum rolls. It can also be infectiously compelling. The Rockv Road to Dublin almost brought our Scot- tish blood to heat and it was only with some difficulty that we withheld a lusty war crv, the kind that the American South transmuted into eeee. . hah' There's humour in the music as well but that's for the individual auditor to have the pleasure of discovering.

KIDS' SAFETY VILLAGE If all goes according to plan, in the Spring of 1994, the children of Durham Region will have a marvellous "village" where they will learn the fundamentals of traf- fice, rail, bicycle, pedestrian and "streetsmart" safety. Sponsored by the Optimists Club of Ajax and the Rotary Club of Oshawa Parkwood, and supported by many Durham Region businesses the village will feature a business section, streets and authentic traffic signals and railway crossings to teach safety in a realistic way. Many of the miniature buildings have already been spon- sored by local businesses, for instance, CN will be providing railway tracks and crossing gates, Dupont of Canada will erect a scaled down version of its own Ajax plant and several more have already promised their support. But there are lots of open spaces for buildings and land- scaping still looking for generous sponsors. If you can help in this way and would like to get involved call Ken McKen- zie at 683-5290.

July 28, 1993 THE NEWS POST Page 7 Durham Environmental Network's Great Project The Waste sub- committee of Durham en- vironmental Network (DEN) has just completed another project aimed at spreading greater awareness about waste and other environmental issues. Using funds obtained from Canada Trust's Friends of the Environ- ment Foundation. DEN has purchased forty videos from the WOW ( Work on Waste, USA) series, and has distributed them to libraries around Durham Region. Citizens from all over Durham can now borrow these to watch at home. school, or at community group meetings in order to become more informed about innovative waste programs in operation as close to home as Halton Hills, Ontario and as far away as Zurich, Switzerland. Oshawa Library's main branch has received copies of: Europeans Mobilizing Against Trash Incinera- tion: Florida Burning: An Update on Incineration: Joe Garbarino: The Only Way to Go. Community Composting in Zurich: and WasteWise: A Community Resource Centre. Beaverton, Bowman- ville, Uxbridge. and the main branch libraries in Ajax. Pickering. and Whit- by have received: Waste management As If The Future Mattered. Euro- peans Mobilizing Against Trash Incineration.

Scugog Library has received: A Regional :Medical Waste Incinerator in Hampton. South Carolina: How Rodman Recycles: Joe Garbar(nu: The On]v Nay To Go- Com- munity Composting is "Zurich: and Recycling's Missing Link: Fillmore County. Mn. All the videos are accessible to residents in all parts of the region via the inter -library loan system. The intent of this project is partly to provide more information to Durham residents about the disad- vantages of incinerating residential solid waste, a practice now outlawed in Ontario. The videos also spread the word about in- novative waste programs which could be adapted for Durham Region's own waste management system. The video project follows close on the heels of another successful Durham Environmental Network venture: the pro- duction of the booklet: "A Household Guide to Waste Reduction and Recycling in Durham Region". released in January. This booklet provides helpful tips on how to practice the 311's of Reduce. Reuse. and Recy- cle, and it also provides in- formation on the "R's' • of Rental and Repair. One of DEN's projects in 1992 involved the purchase of six copies of a Nature of Things video called ..Revolution Down on the Farm", in which David Suzuki interviews Saskat- chewan farmers practicing organic growing methods. This video is also available at libraries throughout Durham Region. Durham Environmental Network was formed in January 1991 to encourage discussion, cooperation and education on en- vironmental issues among concerned individuals and groups within Durham Region. General meetings take place five times per Year in locations across the region, while steering and sub -committee meetings occur during the alternate week, and months DEN's four main sub- committees are: Air Neater (Quality. EnerKy ('onservatton. Green Space, and Waste (other committees arise as needed to carry out special projects individuals can call 4:;;-Pt97 for more infor- mation about DEN.

The Introductory course has already trained almost seventy people since it began in 1991. It attracts potential volunteer educators who learn the basics of designing and conducting tours, Including public speaking and presentation. The new in- termediate course builds upon the introductory carie to help the docent or interpreter to refine his or her skills for better teaching, visual awareness and audience appreciation. Officially recognized each year since 1991 by both the Ontario Museum Association and the On- tario Association of Art Galleries as an asset to potential docents, inter- preters and continuing development by volunteers and docents, the docent skills training program was introduced two years ago with the active par- ticipation of docents and staff from 16 different in- stitutions.

That is the opinion of 92 percent of respondents to an informal survey con- ducted at a recent breakfast forum hosted by Ernst & Young's Metro Toronto East office. Despite concerns about a growing tax burden, government debt and a generally weak economic recovery, 77 percent of respondents believe profits will either increase or stay the same for the remainder of the year. According to 4o percent of those polled, their sales will rise during the same period. While there is a high degree of confidence on the issue of growth, 93 percent of respondents feel that com- petition will continue to in- crease. According to the survey, 64 percent of respondents believe reducing the deficit should be the Ontario government's top priority. Further 20 percent believe the provincial government's first priority is to decrease funding for social programs. Only 16 percent believe the govern- ment's first priority should be to provide more incen- tives and financial assistance to businesses. "Businesses understand that handouts aren't available from cash- strapped government, but entrepreneurs do expect government to manage its debt better as a way of im- proving the overall business climate in On- tario," says Office Director of Tax Jim Boyko. "From the survey and my impres- sions in talking to clients, it appears that entrepreneurs want the government to spend monies that will create jobs and hence more wealth rather than spen- ding on various programs that the province cannot af- ford at this time." While the respondents rated deficit cutting as a high priority, the Ontario government's tough budget to curb the deficit did not apparently appease those surveyed.

Donate To Women's Centre Noritake Canada Limited celebrated its 25th anniversary in Canada by donating proceeds generated from their first warehouse sale to Scar- borough Women's Centre. Established in 1982, the centre serves Scarborough women through the provi- sion of information, educa- tim and support services. Mike Yamaguchi, Presi- dent of Noritake Canada limited, said Scarborough Women's Centre was selected as a sign of ap- preciation and thanks to a community which has been consistent with its support over the past 25 years.

They can A new report by Clayton Research Associates, Canada's leading firm of housing economists, has confirmed that shelter allowances are a far more cost effective method of helping those in need than building non-profit hous- ing. "The Cost of a Shelter Allowance Program in On- tario" demonstrates that far more needy households could be assisted using shelter allowances than with the current non-profit approach, while also sav- ing the province billions of dollars over the next decade. "This could be the blueprint for a rational housing policy in Ontario," says Philip Dewan, Presi- dent of the Fair Rental Policy Organization of On- tario (FRPO), "one that would reduce the burden on taxpayers and pcovideim- mediate relief to the needy-" Concerned at reductions in essential education, health and welfare services while non-profit programs grow at exponential rates FRPO commissioned Clayton Research to in- vestigate the costs of a realistic shelter allowance program for all needy tenants in Ontario. Armed with the latest Canada Housing and Mor- tgage figures from their "core housing need" model and using a tested shelter allowance formula, Clayton documented how inexpensively assistance can be provided with this method. For only $114 per month, the average renter in need can be assisted. (This is the difference bet- ween what they can afford to pay and their actual rent.) That's just $1,370 per year - with no ghettos or waiting lists. "Compare that to the ;12,500 the Provincial Auditor reported as the average subsidy for non profit units," says Philip Oewan,"then consider that the subsidy grows to $17,850 per needy household, after factoring in the 30 percent Reaffirms Religious Education The implementation of the common curriculum, the phasinlg in of Transition Years and the discrediting d Religious Education at the grade 9 level have open- ed the door for Catholic school boards to examine existing Religion programs and consider neu models of delivery.

Also under examination will be the impact of discrediting Religious Education at the grade 9 level. and the development of outcomes for this vital program. At the elementary level, a pilot project of Religious Education testing was completed in 1992, with fur- ther testing completed in grades 3 to 8 last April. After much review. the final tests will be created in the Fall of 1993, and the fuel Religious Education tests administered next June. A series of reports and recd mierdations based on these extensive studies will be going before the board over the coming years. of units that go to average families for income mix- ing." "The bottom line is that for $275 million per year, a shelter allowance program could assist some 200,000 needy households, versus less than 15,500 using non profit housing." In order to effectively compare the two pro- grams, the Fair Rental Policy Organization of On- tario researched and pro- duced "The Facts About Non -Profit Housing" as a companion to the Clayton paper - It contains important in- formation about the costs and excesses of Ontario's non profit housing pro- gram, much of it drawn from the 1992 Provincial Auditor's Report. And it begs such questions as, "Can taxpayers afford to pay for unnecessary non profit buildings in areas with 5,10 or even 20 percent vacancy rates? Should essential services suffer so that the province can sub- sidize bachelor units in Toronto at $1,924 a month - on top of rent?" In advocating a redirec- tion of Ontario housing policy, FRPO is not looking to abandon the needy. Quite the opposite. Philip Dewan explains further, "We are disillu- sioned with a system which crushes taxpayers while helping only a tiny portion of those who need and deserve assistance. Aside from the small amlortt of special needs housing targeted to the handicap- ped and frail elderly, most nm profit funding would be far better spent an direct financial assistance to the needy.

Free Snorkelling Clinics The Ontario Underwater Council is presenting free snorkelling clinics in 1993. The Snorkel Experience van will be coming to a facility near you during the months of July & August, with the intent of providing clinics for kids ages 8-12. The programs will be held at designated Community Centres and Youth Camps all across the province of Ontario. Snorkel Canada will pro- vide two aquatic snorkel leaders who will transport equipment to the facility. and instruct 2 hour clinics on both the morning[ and afternoon. The program will teach children the basic skills of snorkelling with an emphasis on fun and safety. Snorkel Canada believes that by exposing the children7 to the sport at an early age, they will be in- clined to remain in the sport as a snorkeler. This could then increase their interest in Scuba Diving as they grow okier. Notices will be sent out designating the facilities at which the programs will be conducted.

On these two environmentally protected islands, the most engrossing occupations are shell collecting, for which these islands are ranked third in the world, and bird watching. An ideal location for viewing wildlife is at the J.N. "Ding" Darling Wildlife Refuge on Sanibel. Another barrier island, known for its pristine beaches, great fishing, celebrity visitors (in- cluding President George Bush) and colourful history, is Gasparilla Island, featuring Boca Grande on the southern tip.

The album was a gift from Governor Simcoe to the reigning monarch, George I11. It was transferred to the British Museum in 1828 along with the rest of the King's collection of topographical views and maps. The British Library, where the album is now housed, has generously loaned it to the Gallery for this occasion. Mrs, Simcoe's Upper Canada Album comprises 32 small oval mounted drawings, as well as a map of Upper Canada, all ex- ecuted with pen and brush in ink on birch bark. While some of the drawings are of scenic wonders, the bulk are of such European set- tlements as Kingston and Niagara, as well as the village of the Six Nations Loyalists on the Grand River. There are six views of the region of York, as Simcoe named the tiry set- tlement on Toronto Bay when he established the capital of the province there. Although the album was meant primarily to demonstrate to the King the extent and general nature of this new colonial outpost ( the map indicates the planned towns of Lon- don, Oxford, :Norfolk and Chatham), it was also a vehicle for the display of Elizabeth Simcoe's taste and skill.

Councillor Ron Moeser, in whose ward the new library is being con- structed (Ward 9), was especially pleased that the project was now under way. "I am particularly happy that this new branch can now be constructed. The residents of the local com- munities and those of the city itself will benefit greatly from this new public library," Mr. Moeser said. "The local community is to be com- mended for the outstanding support it has shown this project. This day would not have been possible without the continued support of the Highland Creek com- muni ty. " The new building, which was designed by Quadrangle Architects, Ltd. and will be build by Cairn Construction, Ltd., is intended to replace the store front facility which has been offering local public library service since 1964. "The current branch is extremely small and not designed to handle the in- creasingly large number of people who use it," said Ci- ty of Scarborough Public Library Board Chairman, Ahmed Bhallo, indicating his pleasure with the new layout. "The new design af- fords us more floor space and the opportunity to serve our public better." The new Highland Creek Neighbourhood Branch Library is expected to be completed by the Fall of 1994 and will serve the 80,200 residents of the area. The library will have a total area of approximately 650 square metres ( 7,000 square feet) and contain approximately 40,000 volumes.

I ; -Parents Say Yes Quality To Physical 0 a i I y Physical Education Education Ac cording to a 1989 Gallup Poll, a whopping 94 per cent of Canadians think that physical education in schools is important. Furthermore, over half of Canadians believe physical education is either as important as or more important than academic subjects like mathematics and reading. "Parents are right on, says Ian Craigoh, director of the national Quality Daily Physical Education (QDPE) program, organized by the Canadian Association for Health, Physical Education and Recreation (CAHPER). -Research shows that students in a quality, daily physical education program have better health, are less susceptible to stress, are more independent and play better with others. They also perform better academically and they have more positive attitudes toward school. " The Gallup study on Canadians' views on physical education was commissioned by Fitness Canada and released at the annual meeting of CARPER. This year, for the first time, CAHPER is recognizing 69 elementary and secondary schools across Canada who already offer a high-quality. daily physical education program. Winning schools get a large, bright banner, which is sent to the school board for presentation to the schools. According to the recent Gallup survey, some 29 per cent of decided Canadians think the physical education programs that students now receive in school are inadequate.
