Board Forecasts Expenditures The Durham Board of Education released its Capital Expenditure Forecast for the years 1995-1999 on Oct- 25th. The Capital Expenditure Forecast has been prepared at the request of the Ministry of Education and Training. It prioritizes needed growth and non growth projects for the next S years. The board has requested approval of pro- jects totalling $29,791,174 in the first year and $179.859.097 for the full 5 years. The forecast has taken into account the impact of implementing Junior Kindergarten for September 1994, but the ad- ditwnal money required to alter existing classrooms and add additional pupil places will be submitted separately to the Ministry at its request. The forecast has also taken into account the enrolment impact and changes to facilities for the current school year to enable implementation of the Transition Years In- itiative. This has had significant impact on Ex- eter H.S. i formerly Har- wood S.S.) Ajax, where considerable modification has been required. The board's growth pro- jects induce new schools, school site pncliases and additions to schools re- quired to address increases to Durham's student population. Non -growth projects include major maintenance projects such as roof and boiler replacements; elementary science, art and music room upgrading; and secondary upgrading pro- jects such as family :studies, computer and visual arts classrooms. At the present time. there are 58,726 students enrolled in the Durham Board's elementary and secondary schools. It is an- ticipated that growth will mean an additional 950 elementary and 600 secon- dary students each year from 1995 to 1999, as well as 4,000 Junior Kutidergarten students in 1994 alone. This year, there are 500 portable classrooms in use in .Durham Schools to accom- modate 14,000 students, or almost 24 percent of the Board's total enrolment. for which there is no room in regular school facilities. No new allocations or ap- provals for projects have been given since 1992. The backlog of projects in previous years has not been addressed adequately through construction of new schools, and the board feels that without adch- tional capital funding it will not be able to address future needs.

November 3. 1993 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Bob's Notes by Bob Watson Liberals Take Over Well, the dialogue this past week has been about the amazing results of our federal election. Almost everyone is amazed at the destruction of the Progressive Conservatives down to 2 members. The large liberal majority also sur- prised voters. Oh, they -and the polls -thought the Liberals would get one or two over the minimum necessary but not a sweeping majority. And, of course, the Bloc Quebecois getting enough to be the official opposition surprised many voters as well. Reform Party voters were very disappointed that only one of their party was elected in Ontario, despite the fact that Reformers got a lot of votes. Well, now we have our government. Our first complaint is that Chretien has allocated 25 cabinet jobs, we understand. when even Kim Campbell had reduced her cabinet to 20 to save federal funds. Our second complaint is the Prime Minister's rush to cancel the helicopter program. We realize it is a $5 billion project but our old helicopters need replacing. And cancell- ing the new contract could cost half a billion dollars. These helicopters would be invaluable for both civil and military crises. We would like the Liberal government to concentrate on providing the small business community with the necessary loans - not grants - to help the economy recover with more business action and jobs. We that that this government will resolve to listen to the electors and keep in touch with them in order to carry out the electors' demands. Hong Kong.Veterans Dear Editor: There has been much recent news coverage Of The War Amps compensation claim on behalf of Canada's Hong Kong Veterans. The claim w'as first made by The War Amps -using its official status before the U.N. as an now governmental organization -in 1987. The Japanese stonewalled the claim and unfortunately the Canadian Government did not Support it: but all w'as not lost' Using the United Nations mechanism called the Optional Protocol. the Canadian Government has been put on notice. Our government officials will have to explain whether it signed away the rights of our Hong Kong Veterans by agreeing to a peace treaty with Japan which did not provide sufficient compensation for slave labour: whether in doing so Canada is in contravention of the Geneva Convention: and whether the Canadians who were captured at Christmas 1941 b% the Japanese had been sent to the Hong Kong garrison for political rather than military masons. These are matters which will be judged in what might be called the court of public opinion. For this reason. The War Amps has raised some money from its corporate friends and has produced a new film titled. "Canada's Hong Kong Veterans: The Compensation Story". Copies have been pro- vided to nearly 100 cable networks in Canada and will be shown on the community channels over the next fewmon- ths. The film includes an interview with Professor John Hum- phrey of McGill University, a former Director of the Human Rights Division of the United Natiors. He states in a forthright manner that the Canadian Government meat now do something about this or face censure at the United Nations. Another heart -wrenching interview is that given by Dr. Gustave Gingras, who documented the disastrous medical after-effects of imprisonment on these young Canadians. The film also includes an emotional interview with Roger Cyr, National President of the Hong Kong Veterans Association, who gives a harrowing account of the daily atrocities he experienced in Japan. Some of the supporting footage is so shocking that the film carries the warning: Some scenes may be disturbing - viewer discretion is advised. I am confident the film will focus Canada's attention on this issue. We are seeking back -pay for slave labour amoun- ting to $23.940 for each of the 1,000 surviving POWs or their ICK.'

The commission will study the goals, standards and programs of Ontario's secondary and elementary drools and present a final report in December of 1%4. The five -member commission will be holding hearings in 21 cities and six aboriginal communities from Sept. 27 to Dec. 15. "Ontariara want an education system that is accountable to the public it serves," says the Minister of Education and Training, Dave Cooke. " 1be challenge we have given to the Royal Commission an Learning is to take the public's con- cerns and expectations and translate them into a concrete pian for the future of our education system and programs.'. The Royal Commission will look at ways to improve the system so it teaches the skills and knowledge needed to meet the economic and social challenges of the next cen- tury," adds Anne Swarbrick. The Royal Commissin on Learning is just one part of the overall strategy to improve the accountability and quality of education in Ontario. The government is also creating the Ontario Parent Council so that parent representatives can advise the Minister of Education and Training directly. As well, common reading and writing tests for all Grade 9 students are being established this year to test and evaluate students' basic writing and comprehension skills. Individuals and groups should contact the commission to schedule a presentation. In order to hear as many views as possible, the commission is asking individuals to limit their remarks to five minutes, to be followed by a brief discus- sion. Written or taped submissions are also welcome and there is no limit on their length. Make Your Feelings Known Give A Gift That Lasts All Year!

Even though new home sales seemed to be on a decline during the month of August, down 4% from the sales figure reported in August of 1992, according to Murray Koebel of the Toronto Home Builders' Association, a combination of stable prices, low interest rates, and available inventory. will continue to make the purchase of a new home an attrac- tive alternative for the first time home buyer. The bright spot in new unit sales seems to be con- dominiums. Sales have risers steadily throughout the first eight month of 1993 to 2.094 units. up 24% from the 1,686 units recorded for the first eight months of 1992. The latest forecasts within the industry tell tis that hous- ing in most of Canada is more affordable now than it has been since the early 1940x. Not much comfort for those who don't have steady jobs or the downpayment. Which brings us to a final point.

It could be said that the Real Estate Report is the "little column that grew", because when we started out on this project we honestly did not envisage a large body of news material that would be contained within our newspapers to provide our subscribers with topical information on real estate matters; but rather a weekly compilation of real estate statistics, some bi- weekly features on house repairs, renovations, gardening, taxes, etc., and many other items that are of direct interest to property owners, those who work within the real estate industry, and of course all of our loyal subscribers. Well, just like any new idea that proves to have merit, the Real Estate Report has taken on a life of its own. What started out as an addition to the community news content of our papers has turned into a full feature section that will be providing a unique look at the local real estate industry and providing topical news coverage, statistics, and collective real estate information that is designed to keep the con- sumer and the professional abreast of conditions within the local real estate marketplace. Each week we will be trying to keep you up to date on ac- tivity within the local and regional real estate industry. We will provide you with topical news, local and national statistics, brand new and up to date local real estate listings from our participating real estate brokers. local open house information, inteimstinrg and timely articles m real estate. a question and answer column, a legal column, and of carie some current classified advertisements to give is substance. We will try to be viable and informative with the material that we provide you and we will have a focus. The Real Estate Report will concentrate its focus on br- r ging you factual news and irnformation abort local real estate activities, sales, planning. financing, etc. We will report the facts to you verbatim from the best sources that are available.

They are in an experimental stage, with a potential for use in the treatment of several diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis, one of the most common forms of arthritis according to Dr. Eduard Keystone.

He points out that most of the drugs currently used to treat rheumatoid arthritis level the entire immune system. "What we want to do is target only the cells caus- ing the probktrn, reeving our friends, the odes that protect us from lnlfectlons, alive and well. After a single injection of some biologic compounds, a per- son with rheumatoid ar- thritis may go into remis- sion for months, even a year," Dr. Keystone said.

November 3, 1993 Bill Watt's Worlds DINNER THEATRE:ONE W. Somerset Maugham is considered by many to have been the best English novelist. In his book The Razor's Edge, the hero is advised by Maugham's alter ego that pomposity - perceived or otherwise -can always be deflated by that fine old American institu- tion, the wise crack. Oh, it can be called satiric obser- vation but it's really the art of cracking wise. Lorenz Hart is generally thought to have been the cleverest of popular music lyricists. He had a way with rhymes within lines that has never been equall- ed till now. Take Maugham's obser- vational powers, marry them to Hart's clever Lyrics, add fresh musical compositions by David Warrack, have them per- formed by a fine cast and you might have some idea of Torontosaurus which has just opened at the Limelight Supper Chub. Written by Richard Ou- munian and David War - rack. this is the third in a series of reviews that began with Toronto, Toron- to I and II. Neatly skirting the razor's edge of cruelty for the high road of humour. Torontosaurus takes delightfully in- sightful shots at Toronto and all the things about it that are lawn making. It's quite topical, so topical indeed, that a review is difficult because of the updating of material as and when necessary. Still, there's a set series of songs all of which are literate and witty. Among the more than a score of them are Bob's Blue's ( about Bob Rae ►, Windsor Arras. Butt Out and Driv- ing On The 401. The previous shows featured just three per- formers. Torontosaurus has five headlined by Brian McKay and Ted Sinonett joined by Dan Chameroy, Margery Lowe and Ann Mantini. All are excellent singers and under the direction of Richard Ouzou- nian exhibit fin comedic talents as well. Watch the urbane Brian McKay, for example. in Sex With Sue. Hilarious' Oh, and watch his eyes in the 401 number. Not all the numbers are fast paced- One thinks of the poignant Single Mother sung by Miss Mantini, Sun- day Morning Hockey with Mr Simonett, Young Pro- fessional by Miss Lowe and the mood song 4 A.M. sung by Mr. Chameroy. It's highly evocative of David Rose's earlier 4:20 A.M., a melody we always felt should have had lyrics. Musical accompaniment is by Mr. Warrack at the piano ably assisted by George Kozub on stand up bass. Torontonians who love Toronto will love Toron- tosaurus. Out of towers who love to hate Toronto will simply love the show. Both groups will convulse over the musical observa- tion that if Christ came to Toronto, He'd raise June Rowlands from the dead. Just how good is Toron- tosaurus? It's good enough to travel on The 401 to see. DINNER THEATRE:TWO The Antoinette Perry Awards -The Tonys-were inaugurated in 1947 to recognize excellence on Broadway. One of the categories is that of Best Musical. In any Best Musical, there are always show stoppers. Currently local en- trepreneur: director Howard Kane has put together And The Winner Is.. .A Musical Salute to the Award Winning Shows. It's playing at the Delta Chelsea Inn (the Chelsea Bun room actually) as a dinner cabaret attraction. The Column muchly recommends it. A cynic might carp that such a show could hardly fail. After all, there's great music performed by a fine cast to be enjoyed in com- fortable surroundings after a delicious buffet. (Try the cold boiled shrimp!) That's too simplistic, though. Great songs become so only if performed with pro- fessionalism and -this is important -enthusiasm. It gets both from the mixed octet that comprises the cast of And The Winner is. Naturally the songs are familiar but they're per- formed with such zeal that they seem brand new. And, that's high praise. The earliest songs are from 1949's Kiss Me Kate ( Brush Up Your Shakespeare, Always True To You In bfy Fashion) and run through to 1992's Falsettos ( Four Jews In A Room Bitching. I'm Break- ing Down ). One wishes it were posm- ble to list each singer and his or her particular mo- ment in the show but will have to be content simply to list each performer by name. Some of the names will be new but. mark our words, it will not be long before they are familiar. They are -ladies first - Lindsay Cable, Jennifer Cook, Lorna Hazen. Larissa Mair, Derek Faulconer. David Smith. Kirk Teeple and Chris Diamantopailos. The last named is only 18; his sing- ing of Bring Him Home from Les Mistrables is the equal of any we've heard and powerful enough to reduce one to tears. Musical Director is Christopher West and his accompaniment at the piano is superbly unob- trusive. And The Winner Is.. -is certainly a winner. See it. WF Ars NEw ,!: The Canadian Stage Company's New Play Development Program is in full activity. Opening this Friday and running un- til Nov. 13th is The Wooden Hill by Don Hannah and directed by Bob Baker. It's based on the journals of Lucy Maud Montgomery (the Green Gables lady) and is far removed from the serene flavour of Mrs. Montgomery's published writings. The presentations are in the Berkeley Street theatre and admission to some per- formances is Pay -what - you -can. Call ahead for reservations. WHArs OLD?: Gerry and The Pacemakers aren't really old. It's simply that they seem to have been around for so long. Anyway, the group is currently touring Ontario and will appear tomorrow evening in the Heritage Theatre in Brampton. Closer to home it'll be play- ing the Markham Theatre For Performing Arts a week tomorrow. Opening for them at each show will be Denam and Lace, the Toronto based all female band reviewed here previously. WHAT'S ETERNAL?: The battle of the sexes will never be won because there's too much fraterniz- ing with the enemy. Even to, it's fun to partake in it Around and A bou Your Dining &Entertainment Guide and no one is a better com- mentator on it than Sandra Shamas. Her one woman shows My Boyfriend's Back & There's Gonna Be Laundry and There's Gonna Be Laundry II : The Cycle Con- tinues were the first two in- stalments of a projected tryptich. The third is now in preparation. It's titled Laundry III: Wedding Bell Hell. It's so eagerly an- ticipated that, even though it doesn't open at the Winter Garden until February, tickets are already being sold. Get 'em fast. ON RECORD: Roch ( pronounced Rods) Voisine could be, should be and most likely will be the next Julio Iglesias. He's handsome, erudite, sings with passionate sincerity and sincere passion. He's also clever and blessed with the quick recall of the really big stars. At the recent launch of his latest album, held at Centro's, he recalled that when we fust met him about four years ago, The Column had compared him favourably with Harry Chapin. What a memory' And, what an artist! This latest album, I'll Always Be There ( Les Disque Star Records) was shipped gold and will probably be platinum by the time this reaches print. We haven't had sufficient opportunity to give it a respectful hearing as yet but have beard singles from it and can attest to the album's high quality- Full review to follow - ON T.V. Roch Voisin is prepar- ing a TV special to be seen on CBC early in the new year- George Anthony of the CBC was beaming over the prospect when we spoke to him at the Centro luncheon, Still with the CBC, watch for the documentary Sun And Moon, The Making of Miss Saigon. We had to miss an advance screening of it but the word from those who attended is that it's well worth awaiting. Consult your local listings for dates and times. Barbara Bailie of the Family Channel sends along word that it has become the first Canadian broadcaster to present nar- rated television for the visually impaired as part of its regularly scheduled programming. The network has re- quired a selection of twelve Hollywood classics that have been narrated by the Emmy Award winning Narrative Television Net- work. By gently and unob- trusively adding the voice of a narrator to the existing soundtracks. the programs become accessible to the visually impaired. This ex- tra service doesn't in- terfere with the enjoyment of the fully sighted and, in fact, actually enhances it. Well done, Family Chan- nel. FAST EXIT: So you did little and miss- ed Doolittle. Too bad; you missed a good show by not attending the just com- pleted short run of My Fair Lady at The O'Keefe. Julian Holloway, who might or might not be related to the late Sir Stanley who created the Remembrance Day At Military Cemetery The Toronto Historical Board and the municipal chapter of the Imperial Order of the Daughters of the Empire (IODE), are presenting a Remem- brance Day service honouring Canada's war dead at the Strachan Avenue Military Cemetery, west of historic Fort York on Thurs. Nov. 11, at 10:45 a.m. A processional to the cemetery will begin at 10:40 a. m. from the en- trance to Historic Fort Mork. The ceremony will include costumed -military staff from Fort York, stan- dard and wreath bearers of the IODE, and clergy. The Strachan Avenue Military Cemetery was the third burial site for troops and their families garrison- ed at Fort York from 1860 to 1911. Public Remem- brance Day ceremonies have been held at this historically important site since 1952. Following the ceremony, the public is invited to visit Historic Fort York for refreshments and guided tours. Admission to Fort York is free for the Remem- brance Day program. The Fort is located on Garrison Road off Fleet St. between Bathurst St. and Strachan Ave. two blocke east of the Canadian National Exhibi- tion grounds.

The rural population now represents 5% of the populous, whereas it was 3091 not too long ago. This movement to revitalize the villages by preserving local architec- ture, encouraging small hotels, restaurants, ar- tisans and crafts came about in 1982 when Mayor Charles Ceyrac of Collonges-la-Rouge, a town of 360 people located 21 km northeast of Brive-la Gaillarde in the Limousin region, decided to do this to his town. He then founded an association of the Prettiest Towns in France, or Plus Beaux Villages de France, where the objective was to promote and develop corn- munities known to be the prettiest villages. By establishing a charter of quality and defining cer- tain precise criteria, taking into acount regional dif- ferences, the association is able to judge villages. Amongst other items, the villages can have no more than 3000 inhabitants, roust maintain their architec- tural heritage, and must war to promote their con- trolled development and opportunities. All com- munities meriting this title may use the association's symbol, and there are 129 villages to date to do so. France En Flews - T6anks To The National Flowering Committee Created in 1959 with a mandate to encom-W the national beautification of French cities and towns, the National Flowering Committee, or Comite Na- tional pour le Fleunsse- ment de la France, has en- joyed much success. Their goal is to encourage all communities, large and small, to express themselves and their iden- tities through flowers, trees and the composition of landscapes. Last year almost 10,000 communities applied to the Committee, of which 600 qualified and 82 received the highest rating of "four flowers". The Committee launched another competi- tion in 1988, the National Grand Prix. Winners of this prize must maintain their horticultural levels and are visited three years after for verification. Overall, there are several different categories and prizes, but most importantly thousands of communities and entire areas par- ticipate in beautifying their own part of the country. Lists of France's flowered communities and prettiest villages are available from the French Government Tourist Office. Yvoire is a picturesque village of a little more than 400 inhabitants sitting on the shores of Lac Leman, just sixteen km from Thonon-les-Bain in the Haute Savoie. The village well deserves its titles of one of the "Prettiest Villages in France" and as a "Flowered Village" by the respective governing bodies, as its medieval houses are lovingly main- tained and its gardens are tended with exceptional care, something which the Yvoiriens are very proud Of. When visiting Yvoire, leave the car in the parking area outside of the for- tifications and walk into the village. After having seemingly lost oneself in the quaint streets, a walk towards the port puts things back in perspective. At the extreme end of the Jetty one sees Switzerland. and emerging from the natural foliage on the other side is the massive square dungeon of the Chateau d'Yvoire. Though this cas- tle cannot be visited, the nearby Chateau de Ripaille can. Also on the edge of Lac thman and surrounded by 153 hectares of grounds, the Chateau de Ripaille with its robust Savoyard construc- tion, is situated behind its vineyards of the same name which produce a highly valued and rare white wine. Ripaille dates back to the early 14th cen- tury when it was merely a hunting lodge for Bonne de Bourbon, the wife of Count Arnedee VI. Amed6e VIII greatly enlarged Ripaille. and added an Augustinian pr•rory. He decided to abdicate the throne, give the regen- cy to his son and stay on at Ripaille to begin the order of St. Maurice. Five years later, a delegation came to him and asked him to take the throne back. He did, fought several bottles over his ten years and once again came back to Ripaille. where he wore a monk's cloak until he died. The castle is open for guided visits from Apr. 1 to Oct. 15, from 10 a.m. - 12 p.m and from 2 - 4 p.m. The grounds are open throughout the year from 10 a.m. - 7 p.m. or until 4 p.m. during the off-season. Both the grounds and the Chateau are closed on Mon- days. Admission fees are charged, wine tasting and purchases available upon request.

Remembrance Message From Legion President Every Remembrance Day is important to members of The Royal Canadian Legion, but this year is especially signifi- cant because November 11th, 1993 ['narks the 75th anniversary of the end of World War I. Sometimes referred to as the "Great War", or "the war to end all wars", World War I was actually a time of terrible destruction and incredible carnage. But it was also a time of bwnen- dous personal sacrifice. It is that sacrifice we hope will be rernemnbered this Nov. 11th. Over 114,000 Canadians died during that war and in World War II and the Korean War, which follow- ed far too quickly. They died to preserve the freedom and values we hold so dear. Current and future generations must take time to remember their sacrifice and honour their memory. In that way we can help to ensure their louts was not in vain. Only by "keeping the faith with those who died" on November lith can we ap- preciate the price they paid. This Nov. Ilth, take time to remember.

Canadian Tire Helps College With government fun- ding for automotive ap- prenticeship training harder to come by, Cana- dian Tire associate dealers are offering to help pay for much-needed equipment and supplies at the largest transportation technology school in North America. Centennial College in Scarborough will receive up to $20,000 from Cana- dian Tire dealers across Ontario to establish a trust fund. Canadian Tire's head office is expected to match the independent dealers' contributions. Centennial will draw on the fund whenever it goes shopping for automotive tools, equip- ment and supplies, subject to committee approval. The trust fund is the brainchild of Canadian Tire dealer Doug Alex- ander. He saw his dealers' association as the beneficiaries of Centennial's auto techni- cian training, and rallied the store owner -operators to pitch in with cash. The college's funding shortfall has come at a time when new and practising techni- cians need extensive train- ing on costly new automotive technology. Canadian Tire Corpora- tion has been an active sup porter of a modified ap- prenticeship program (MAP) at the college for eight years and employs more than 400 graduates. New Director Rosie Kavuma of Scar- borough recently was ap- pointed to the position of sales director with Mary Kay Cosmetics Ud. Kavuma joined the com- pany in November 1991 and after meeting specific re- quirements in personal sales and unit development during a three month qualification period, she was named sales director. In her new position, Kavuma will provide leadership, training and management for her unit of independent Mary Kay consultants.
