Selling Surplus Land Ontario Riding M.P. Rene Soetens announced last week that the federal government is going to sell off surplus airport land in Pickering. The total land involved is 5100 acres. Mr. Soetens told a press conference that provincial and municipal agencies will be the first to be of- fered the opportunity to ac- gtrire any portion of the land for public use. After 30 days the land will then be offered to current tenants of the property before it is made available to the general public. M.P- Soetens says that the government sale of hamlets will help Pickering get beck in shape. The federal government hopes to get $60 million from the sale of this surplus airport land. The land was bought from the airport in 1973. The surplus lards will be sold at market value and tenants will have the option of purchacing their rented premises at market value or, in exchange for a com- mittment to remain on the property for at least five years, will be granted a 15 percent adjustment against the market value of the The federal government will place restrictions on surrounding lands to preserve the land retained as a possible future airport site and to ensure com- patibility between a poten- tial airport and the neighbouring area. According to Transport Minister Jean Corbeil "the enactment of airport zon- ing restrictions around Pickering does not mean that a decision has been trade to build an airport at this tithe' He says that "any such decision will be taken following completion of the Southern Ontario Area Airports Study. which is underway.

September 1, 199:1 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Made In Canada Solution Mr. H. Harris, Air Canada C.E.O. tan American) is now trying to dictate how the Canadian transportation industry should be run. After the N.T.A. hearings have ruled in P.W.A.'s favour Mr. Harris is now trying to change that decision by doing a very slick advertising campaign. "Us- ing reference to the global airlines industries why can't Canada have room for two global airlines - Air Canada and Canadian." The deal with A.M.R. and Canadian is strictly a service contact with benefits to both companies. This was also agreed upon by both N.T.A. Hearings and by the Com- petition Tribunal. Air Canada has made reference to Australia and one airline. If we take a very close look at what has happened to travel industry we can see that many travel agencies have gone out of business and now most bookings are done by Qantas. Air Canada says it would purchase our international routes and that would save P.W.A. Corp. I strongly disagree. Without international routes we would be out of business within a year or two. The overseas routes help feed our domestic market. If Air Canada gets control of the international market it would be very easy for Air Canada to put P.W.A. Corp. out of business by lowering airfares on the domestic market. thus allowing Air Canada a monopoly and dictating how the airlines in Canada should be operating. Please remember Air Canada has tried two deals with Canadian Airlines and has walked away from the table both times. Canadian employees voted "Yes" to the A.M.R. Deal. We all feel that this is our best solution to keep as marry jobs in the airline industry in Canada. We appreciate all the sup- port that our customers have shown us. as well as our creditors and government. I would like to plead with our Members of Parliament to intervene and help this deal with A.M.R. be resolved before Mr. H. Harris has destroyed Canadian Airlines. Yours TrW,,. Mr. Hugh Snider Canadian Airline Employee Doesn't Agree Dear Editor, Over half of the population of Scarborough is female. There are numerous members of the visible minority groupd. There handicapped and there are native people. All could eloquently give instances of systematic discrimination in work settings. After all that has been demonstrated on this topic - including a very authoritative report this week on women in the legal profession - it is distressing to read the misleading comments of Dr. Gordon Chong in West Hill News of Aug. 11th. Chong is quite off the mark in suggesting that Bill 79 introduces quotas. The bill requires employers to produce employment equity plans with goals and timetables. Anyone who watched the proceeding of the legislative committee examining the bill would have been impressed by the broad range of support for the concept including from large corporations such as IBM. There is a developing consensus that not only members of the designated groups but society as a whole has suffered from longstanding bar- ners to vast numbers of qualified people. Chong seems to be saying that disenrrunation builds character. Hardly a position that will appeal to people who have had to suffer silently Nor will his insensitive characterisation of supporters of equity as "the usual suspects". Sincerely.

Jon Havelock, a Conserva- tive MLA from Calgary, has pro- posed that Alberta MLAsshould have their salaries cut when budget spending reduction tar- gets are not met. In other words. if the politi- cians do not keep their promise about cutting government spend- ing they will feel it in their wallets Havelock proposeslhat MLAS should either have their salaries cut by the same percentage as the deficit shortfall or reduce their salaries by 2 percent for each $100 million in deficit reduction not achieved. His plan also Gals for the lost salary to be reinstated d deficit targets are exceeded in subse- quent years.

Our elected representatives, at all levels of government, need all the incentives they can get. Consider that the federal gov- ernment's debt, including the Canada Pension Plan, is about $800 billion. The provinces' debt stands at about 5290 billion and municipalities' debt is about $46 billion. In fight of these staggering amounts, it is not surprising that economic analysts say that Canada is heading for a major debt crisis in the not too distant future. Something has got to be done and soon. Unfortunately. Canada's leaders have been content to ignore the problem.

Ontario's leading children's wear retailer, this season's emphasis on a limited number of colours will take the guesswork and stress out of getting children dressed for school. It is also a clever way to stretch the fashion dollar. ..Navy. forest green and cranberry are this fall's building blocks_ What we are seeing is the creative use of fewer coigns in denims, twill, and cor- duroys. Eveything is mix and match right down to the socia," says Saragossi. Expect more than an educated guess on fall fashion trends from "Just Kids." The chain recently conducted customer focus groups to find out what parents and children are Woking for. "Parents told us that they want their children to look neat and presentable for school. But they also want clothes that are comfortable and utilitarian. Kids still play in the mud," said Mrs. Saragossi, herself the parent of a pre-schooler, Look to Canada's top children's manufacurers including Osh Kosh, Kridkets, Fisher Price, and Bugle Boys for clothes that combine style, quality, value and durability. This season you'll find fuller, oversize bodies in 100% cot- ton fleece, corduroy, denim and twill. Top marks will go to tex- tured fabrics such as suede for boys and lace and brocade for girls. Combine them with denims in the regular blues and in ex- citing colours, twills and flannel for a "dress -up" or "dress -down" feeling. New this season are labelled denims. Yes, what's "out" is now in. Labels that are normally out of sight can be seen covering jean pockets on pants and jackets, creating an interesting. colorful pat- chwork. Top it osf with a denim cap with suede peak. Hoods are another impor- tant fall ewer -up. They're everywhere, heading off denim vests. swing coats, jackets and sweaters. For boys the look is prep- py. Plaid pants in navy, green arid cranberry top, ped with the traditional navy and forest cardigan.

September 1, 1993 Bill Watt's Worlds On Record: One As seems to be too fre- quently the case, the bass response was cranked up/down to maximum as we listened in the Ultra- sound Showbar to The Sad- dletramps at a media launch for their newest CD, Well Gone Bad (Homewreckerds) . Some readers will be aware that Mother :Nature, who blessed this correspon- dent with attractive eyes, also made them somewhat less than perfect, vision wise. To compensate, she ggaave us superb hearing. SVe hear so well, for exam- ple, that conversation in a crowded room is awkward for us since we hear vir- tually every conversation. That's why we're seen so often cupping a hand behind the ear in such places. Fair enough one sup- poses, bury when the bass level is raised/lowered to maximum intensity, when the vocalists shout rather than sing, when the acoustics of L Itrasamd are some screamin' hell, then we simply can't appreciate what %%* guess was intend- ed as music. We think it's something between/beyond C. W.. M.O.R. do and a drummer's tantrum. Is it good? You'll have to hear for yourself. The operative word is hear, not listen. The latter is im- possible. in a chub anyway. Extra (est: At each table in Ultra- sound there was a copy of Saddlebag the group's "of- ficial (curtesy) news letter". Page 2 of the cur- rent edition reminisces about "past brushes with smarminess." Promitent- ly mentioned is Dan Ackroyd. Talk about bitnmg the hand that feeds and asps in one's own bosom! Don't they know that Mr. A. is one of the founders and majority shareholders of X Rav(do%mstairs ( and L7trasouind? What is this? Chutzpah. ignorance. stupidity or just plain bad manners? On Record: Two A bit further east of [ltra- sound on Queen St . is The Rivoli, another popular spot for the In or Hip crowd. On the first Tues- day of every month. the back room of The Rivoli becomes the El Seven Nite Club where working rock vocalists perform new and sometimes different(for them) material. They're backed by the house band, known as Big Sugar. Now, A. & M./Hypnotic has released El Seven Nite Club recorded live at The 'Riv featuring Big Sugar with guest vocalists in - eluding Lee Aaron and Mol- ly Johnson among others. It's good, really good and not too far out for those with more conservative musical tastes. Consider some of the titles... Shimmy like My Sister Kate, Day Dream, Fine and Mellow. Boulevard of Broken Dreams, Empty Bed Blues and My Foolish Heart. Not the sort of songs one hears often enough these days. We think everyone will en- joy the album. We know everone will find it in- teresting. And, it gets even better with repeat hear- ings. Theatre News: A generation ago the musical Hair burst upon the theatrical scene and almost changed the future of stage musicals. ( One well recalls a cartoon of the time set in an audition -studio. The director, in referring to a young man who had just finished audi- tioning, remarks to his assistant. "Gawd. he can sing dance and act. Too bead he's not well hung.' Shortly after the Broad- way premiere. Ed Mirvish brought the slow to the Royal Alexandra for a then record breaking 53 weeks. There are those who sav that it was the success of the show that heartened Mr. Mirvish to continue on as owner of the Royal Alex after some earlier lean years with it. Well. maybe. Anyway, it looks as though lightning is going to strike twice. tion , son David Mirvish is presen- ting a new production of Hair at London, England's Old Vic premiering Sept. 19tH. The natural expectation is that it'll cross the Atlantic to the Royal Alex upon the completion of its run. The consideration here, however. is that Crary For You which opens at the By Marsha Boulton KITWANCOOL, B.C., 1928, — What Canadian artist once noted: "The woods and sky out West are big. You can't squeeze them down."'? Emily Carr was born in 1871, the same year that British Colum- bia entered Confederation. -Con- trary from the start," was the way Carr described herself in her auto- biography. She had no use for the tidy conventions of the society of Victoria, B.C. She was orphaned at 16, and two years later her guardian grant- ed her permission to study at the California School of Design in San Francisco. On her return, she established a studio in a cow barn and began giving drawing lessons to chil- dren, and saving her money for future studies in Paris and London. In fact, Carr found the subjects of her greatest art before she left for Europe, when a friend took her to an isolated Vancouver Island mission called Ucluelet in 1898. The tangled, untamed and �4y Around and About - Your Dining & Entertainment Guide R.A. this January is an open end show and if it's as good as The Column con- fidently expects it to be, then it might be a few years before Toronto audiences can see Hair locally. So for those who are in- terested, call (416) 593-4225 for London tickets. Oh, to be in London now that Hair is there! Meanwhile and locally, the third biennial Festival Of Canadian Theatre-- Upfront '93 will run from Oct. 13th through to the 24th. Seeems to us that's not much of a run for a na- tional festival but one defers from further com- ment. The Festival will be held in two theatres, the Younge People's Theatre and the Alumnae Theatre. Several days will be presented and The Column will endeavour to keep readers advised on a timely basis. For now, however, here are a clutch of titles to pique one's in- terest. The Tit Show is by Ed- monton's Generic Theatre and has "won two Sterling Awards for this candid comedy about society's fix- ation with the female breast." It's not clear whether the reference is to society in general that lin Edmonton One rather suspects the tatter. There isn't mutt[ else to do in Edmonton after all. A presentation from Van- couver is titled 1 Was Lick- ing The Kitchen Floor and examines the causes and effect-, of depression. Yes. Good 'times: In these ultra sensitive times (Imagine criticizing Jean Cretien for saying Coloured instead of Black. for heaven's sake!) one wonders at the propriety of naming a pub The Black Dog. After all, Dudley Laws, the Coloured (oops. Black) Eamon De Valera might find it offensive. And, what does the poorly aging sex kitten and animal activist Brigit Bar - dot think of the name? The only proper rejoinder is "who cares? "What's important is The Black Dog is doing some fine com- munity work instead of dung disturbing. Sun. Sept. 12th, starting at 1 p.m. (plenty of time for morning devotions) the popular Scarborough watering hole and family place is opening its doors for a special Family Festival Day. There'll be special ac- tivities geared toward the family, some celebrities (W'e're going to try and make the scene) and much fun for everyone.

HERITAGE HU,HLIGHTS Local Taoists The Laughing One Painting from the mythic eye of the forest even menacing forest environ- ment both attracted and repelled her, while the intense artistry of the ancient totem poles moved her deeply, and in the native peo- ple themselves she found a kin- dred spirit. They named her Klee Wyck — the Laughing One. In Europe, Carr observed the "new art" of the Post Impres- sionists she dis- covered "brilliant, luscious, clean paintings." Her work hung in the Salon d'Automne of 1911 in Paris, and there was clear recog- nition of her talent. When she returned to Vancouver and exhib- ited her paintings, by her own account the result was "insult and scom." • So she turned her back on Van- couver, packed up her paint box and easel and made a harrowing journey up the coast to the Queen Charlotte Islands and remote native villages on the Skeena and Naas Rivers, where she painted the vanishing villages and totem poles. Unable to live from her an, she became disillu- sioned and built a small apartment house in Victo- ria, spending 15 years as a landla- dy, and augment- ing her income by breeding dogs, hooking rugs and making pottery. In 1927, she was invited to include her work in an exhibition of West Coast art at the National Art Gallery in Ottawa. Carr admitted at the time that she did not even know that Canada had a National Gallery! It was a turning point. Her work was enthusiastically received, and she was inspired by Watch for the "Emily Carr" Heritage Minute on your local television station. For more information about the Heritage Project call 1-M-567-1867 the artists of the Group of Seven, whose aspirations matched her own. "Something has spoken to the very soul of me," she wrote in her journal, finding in their canvases "a naked soul, pure and unashamed." A burst of energy followed in 1928. Carr abandoned her tenants and headed back to the Queen Charlotte Islands to Kitwancool, a remote village noted for its impressive totem poles. She cap- tured the totems with bold rever- ence, in her own brooding and solemn vision. In later years, Carr turned her brush to the large rhythms of the Coastal rain forests, beaches and skies. Living in a caravan with a menagerie of pets, she painted the grand primeval brooding of the forest, translating the spiritual essence of the light in scenes of constant visual movement. "At last, I knew that I must see through the eye of the totem — the mythic eye of the forest," she wrote. Before she died in 1945, Emily Carr was in the first rank of Canadian painters.

The northern entrance is located on the south side of Highway 7 at Green River, approximately 8 kms east of Markham. To locate the southern entrance, take Brock Rd. north and turn left at the first road north of Finch Ave. to Camp Pidaca. The trail is marked with single yellow rings ( double rings m case of direction change). Keep these in sight and you will remain on the designated path. The trail contains three sections: (1 ) A walking trail from Camp Pidaca to Clarkes Hollow where easy walking enables you to view a range of natural features, animals and sights at leisure. (2) A wilderness trail located in the mid portion from Clarkes Hollow to Whitevale. This area presents an ideal setting to experience "true wilderness". a feature that is becoming increasingly rare in southern Ontario, and (3) a heritage trail from Whhitevale to Green River where old millworks. ponds and klwland woods have been used to highlight the natural historic features of the area. The hiking trail was created in cooperation with the Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority and developed with high school and uruversnty students under Ontario's summer works program. The trail, a living laboratory that provides a natural science experience for everyone, is a single, uninterrupted link of more than I.Wo acres stretching from Green River in the north to Camp Pidaca in the south, a distance of 7.2 kms.

It's not surprising that they often ask the question. ..How can we develop a positive attitude about school when failing makes us feel so negative about ourselves?" In order to feel better about themselves, these students have to ex- perience school success. When that occurs, they start to develop self-esteem (Le. they obtain confidence and belief In themselves), and they take pride in the things they do such as at- tending school with a positive attitude and a co- operative spirit. I hope the following sug- gestions are useful for all those high school students who are looking forward to a successful new school year. Put forth your best effort from the beginning to the end of any school task. In that way, you'll know you achieved the best level of success possible. For ex- ample, a runner is daydreaming about winn- ing a race when he sudden- ly realized it's half over, and he's in last position. He sees no problems; he'll just put forth a real effort for the remainder of the race. Surprisingly, out of eight runners, he ends up as number six to cross the finish line. But how suc- cessful could he have been if his effort began right from the sound of the star- t gW? Remember, you may not always get top grades, but you can always get an 'A' for effort. 'Rut's the fust step towards success - towards becoming suc- cessful. Try to avoid comparing your keel of achievement with that of other students. because if you don't do as well, you will feel different from them in a very negative way. Such negative feelings can adversely affect your self- esteem. The important thing to realize is that there IS not another human being ex- actly like you on the face of this earth. That uni- queness should make you feel different, but in a positive way, especially when you focus on your own school performance in- stead of comparing yourself with others. We does not guarantee that we can all be 'A' students, but it does guarantee that we can all reach personal levels of success. Therefore, if you do your best and receive marks in relation to your personal abilities and skills you will be very proud with your achievements. The major objective for the end of the school year is to be successful. But, you can become quite discouraged when you realize that you have to work hard for the entire school year in order to reach that exciting long- term goal. In order to re- main motivated, I suggest you plan to succeed at short-term goals.

There is nothing quite like the feeling of confidence you will experience going into your final examina- tions knowing you suc- cessfully completed all your short-term goals, throughout the entire year. I have seen many high school students falter, but with new found insight and determination they pick themselves up and work hard toward being suc- cessful. Their insight? They realized: 'Turning one's life around can become a reality rather than a perpetual dream."

The world newball cham- pionships are held every four balli an exciting and competitive game for girls and women, and is being played in Canada. Originally it began in Bri- tain in the late 1800s but soon spread to other Com- monwealth countries, where it became a very popular women's sport. The world netball cham- pionships are held every four years. There are many advan- tages to the game of netball -it is inexpensive, it can be played indoors or outdoors, it is a real team sport, and, because of the restriction regarding substitutes, no one player can dominate the game. Netball is played on a court which is divided into three sections. There are seven players to a team, and the object of the game is to score goals. Goals are scored by throwing a ball (a number of 5 soccer ball) through a net affixed to a pole standing ten feet high. This somewhat resembles a basketball net, but the pole and net are free stan- ding and there is no backboard. When ,a goal is scored the ball is returned to the centre, just like in soccer. The game is con- trolled by two umpires. Cosmopolitan Netball Club was formed in 1972 and has been operating in Scar- borough since its inception. The season cornrnences in September and runs until the following May, with pprr tires being held every Tloesday night at Robert Service Senior Public School. As the Club is a non-profit organization the fee is minimal at $50 for the season. Cosmopolitan Netball Club is a member of the Women's Netball Associa- tion which organizes two competitive seasons. The Mini Season is usually run from January to May. Cosmopolitan Netball Club also enters various tour- naments which are held roughout the season, both in and around Toronto and as far afield as Windsor. Cosmopolitan Netball Club offers women and girls netball for both recreation and competi- tion. This is a fun game, and the club offers many additional social aspects.

Infect Health Centre With Laughter At Centenary. laughter is good medicine—that is why its Student Volunteers take "clowning around" seriously. During evenings, weekends and during the days of summer, 10 Student Volunteers "administer" good cheer and happiness to patients by handing out comics, placing stickers on their arm bands, painting faces, telling jokes. etc. The Volunteers like to especially meet with pa- tients during quiet times when they may have no visitors and may feel upset or bored.

Patients can't miss seeing them because they are dressed in brightly - coloured clown outfits made by the members of the Centenary Volunteer Handicraft Committee.

A History Of CAW Local 303 On Sat., Sept. 11 at 4 p.m., "You Can't Bring Back Yesterday: A History of CAW Local 303", will be launched at the Local's Heritage Committee, the 60 -page booklet features the closed GM Van Plant in Scarborough West, the largest part of this CAW local which was certified in 1951. The heritage project was assisted by a $10,000 grant from the Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Recreation, with the union raising the remaining two- thirds of the project cost. The project was initiated with the awareness that more than just jobs are lost when a plant closes: decades of local history, factdry folklore and union history are lost as well. "I am extremely gratifies to see that CAW Local 303 has produced this impor- tant written record of their history in our community. The unior retires and ac- tive members who have taken part in this historical project are to be commend- ed for preserving an in- tegral part of Scarborough West's past," says Minister Swarbrick who will attend the launch. A detailed photographic documentation of the Van plant during the final six months of produciotn is featured.

Studies show that mortality rates for killer whale calves in the the wild runs as high as 50 percent. This is the third pregnan- cy for Katina, and veterinarians expect her previous successful bir- thing experiences will assist her during this delicate time. In 19%. the birth of her first calf, Katina, -narked a signifi- cant milestone in killer whale breeding and made international beadlines as the first killer whale to be born and thrive in the care of man. Then in 1968. Katina gave birth to her se- cond calf, who is thriving at Sea World. The park's marine mam- mal experts and veterinary specialists are continuous- ly observing the pregnant whale at Shamu Stadium, a milti-million-litre research and breeding facility. As part of a sophisticated prenatal care program. Sea World's veterinarians. animal care experts and trainers are monitoring the mother's health and the baby's progress regularly through laboratory tests. body measurements and ultorasonography.

What to do BEFORE a tornado: • Be aware of anv storm warn- ings and know which radio or television stations broadcast up-to-the-minute weather in- formation for your area. Know the name of your fore- cast region and county. • Have emergency supplies on hand (e.g. food, first aid kit) and keep a battery operated radio, flashlight and a supply of fresh batteries in a con- venient place. • Make sure everyone in your household knows in advance where to go and what to do in case of a tornado warning. What to do DURING a brtuada • Take cover immediately if a ..tomado warning is issued - too often people do not take thea waminp seriously enoitgh. Stay calm and don't panne. You might actually reduce property damage by opening all windows. While this may %ound strange. it-% true. The heart of a tornado has Bread% reduced pressure. If the tor- nado encounters a building and the windows and door. arc closed, the pressure drop is so sudden that the building has no chance to equalize itself. The result is that the walls and windows explode outwards. If windows and doors are fully open, the pres- sure may be able to drop quickly enough to prevent such damage. • For maximum safety, go down to the basement and seek shel- ter in a closet. under a stairway or a heavy picce of hirniture ort the lowest level. If that's not po sibk, in to reach the centre of the house or the side away from the storm. • Avoid being caught in building% with large areas of unsupported roof including. arenas. bams, or supermarkets. If that's not possible, sock out the lowest floor, an inside hallway or small interior windowless ndoywless room or get under something sandy - Do not remain in your car as it provides the least amount of safety. Many people have been killed trying to ride out a tornado. You are no match for the swift, erratic move- ment of a tornado, which sometimes has wind speeds of more than 320 km (2W miles) per hour. • If you are caught in the open, find a ditch, ravine or other depression and lie flat with your arms over your head. If no shelter can be found, hang or to the base of a small tree or shrub. • If a tornado strikes during school hours, teachers should keep children away from windows and seek shelter either in designated areas or in interior hallways.

It's a good idea to keep an inventory of your possessions in a safety deposit box or with a friend. That way, if your home is damaged or destroyed, the in- ventory will help establish your loss and speed payment of your insurance claim. It's important to update this re- cord on a regular basis. Re- cording your possession can be done in a number of ways: • Write down a description of your possessions room by room and keep any receipts with the list. • Videotape a walk through your house, verbally describ- ing the items you're taping - including serial numbers and purchase dates. • Take pictures of the major items and attach the receipts to the back of the photo. Some insurance companies have developed inventory forms to make the job easier. The Co-operators, for example. has designed a Personal Prop- erty Inventory Record for homeowners and tenants. The form lists the most common household items by room, along with columns to record the cur- rent and replacement values. This form is available free of charge by writing to: The Co-operators Inventory Record Offer, Priory Square - 5E, Guelph, Ontario NIH 6P8 Nunsense II Opening Sept.8th.

Employee Recognition m The MSSB's 25 -Year Club Committee On Substance Abuse Releases Study The Scarborough Special Committee on Substance Abuse has released a Needs Study regarding substance abuse in Scar- borough. The 215 page report is a result of over one year's work by com- mittee members in gather- ing and analyzing data regarding substance abuse in Scar The key highlights of the report indicate that although there are several agencies and organizations dealing with substace abuse issues in Scar- borough, there is no central coordination presently in existence. As a result, there is an overlap of ser- vices provided in certain areas of substance abuse while there are other unex- plored areas regarding substance abuse in need of attention in this city. " bis report is significant because it is the fust time in Scarborough that an at- tempt has been made to canvass all of the existing substance abuse services and to ascertain what is presently available and more importantly what is needed," stated Committee Chairman, Councillor Lorenzo Berardinetti. The report with its recom- mendations was approved unanimously by Scar- borough Council on July 13th. The Special Commit- tee will now gear its efforts in implementing the recominendations contain- ed in the report.

Strategic Planning Update A reality check indicates that the board's mission, vision and strategic direc- tions well reflect the input given during the Consulta- tion Phase of the strategic planning process. Board approval was given to the MISSION and VISION statements. Correction The May edition of "From the Board" reported that each student in the system will receive in the future a personal copy of the MSSB" Book of Prayers., and that trustees directed that the booklet be im- plemented so that students may learn the contents by heart. The ariticle should have stated that trustees directed that the booklet "Basic Prayers" be im- plemented in the schools in September 1993 so that students must learn in an organized way, the content by heart."
