Durham Board Of Education Notes Modified School Year Calendar :Models Approved Trustees approved both a single track and multi track modified school year calendar for approval by the Ministry of Education and Training and for use in possible pilot schools in Durham. The single track model features a common 6 week summer holiday and the multi track model features a common 2 week summer holiday. The multi track model would allow an overcrowded school to ac- commodate up to 25 per- cent more students than could normally be accom- modated. Trustees stressed that no Durham Board schools have been chosen at this point to pilot the modified school year and that they wish only to have models developed as an option to offer to the public at a later date.

Recent statistics released by the province show that the 1992 collection use per capita (how many items each user takes out on average) is higher in Pickering than in any other community over 50,000 population in Ontario. "Larger libraries show users taking out an average of 10.68 books a year - in Pickering our users take out 13.66," notes CEO Sandy Cameron. .'This success is due to two .Factors. I believe. First, we nave been fortunate in per- -uading council to main- iin our collection budget +n spite of the difficult economic situation. Se- md, that confidence has Alowed staff at all levels use their energies to put as many useful books into our users' hands as we can. The library's collection is by far one of the best resources used by our tax- payers-.. The board has recently prepared a 1994 budget for council which includes a slightly larger allocation for the collection. bort which overall asks the town for less money to rev► its operation than in 19W. "We need to continue to meet the collection needs of our public " said the Chair- man David Farr, "but like all public institutions, we need to do what we can to make our services affor- dable by the taxpayer. Our staff constantly review their actions, purchases and procedures to make sure we're making the very best use of taxpayers' money.

This ridiculous overspending at Ottawa must stop. Perhaps a discussion ,with Reform Party Leader Preston Manning might give the government a few good ideas on eliminating the federal deficit in 3 years. There is no argument in the taxpayers' minds that costs and ridiculous hand-outs to thousands of groups who do not treed money but get it because it is politically inspiring have to be eliminated. This means tough decisions in a poor economic time. However, we can't keep dropping into enor- mous debt as a country. Private citizens and corporations are not allowed to go this deep into debt but the federal government has since the Trudeau government time ap- parently refused to cut back the rapidly rising national debt. We believe that even those voters who did not vote for the Reform Party would back the Liberals carrying out a cost- cutting attack on the annual deficit. The Ontario government should analyze its large debt as well. Although it is not close to the federal government's outrageous red ink, it could be eliminated in 1994 with the ideas of Preston Manning's Reform Party. In future when governments feel compelled to assist some group in our society, we believe it should be a "loan" and not a "handout". Let's get down to real facts and put our glorious, beautiful land into good financial shape. Letter To The Editor Let's Have Equality Political expedience has always been and now continues to be the greatest affront to our justice system. This affront and arrogance continues to frustrate Canadians with greater expectations presently in our proposed Fair -Tax objectives. It is nothing but cowardice that permits these politicians who look injustice in the eye, acknowledge its wrongs that have existed these many years in our tax assessment structure across municipal boundaries of Metropolitan Toronto as a matter of fact across the pro- vince. The political leaders that have taken an affirmative stand deserve our respect. Politicians be they municipal• regional or provincial who try to supplant justice for political expe- dience, cowardice• or intimidation have forfeited their right to preach justice to our citizens. Our citizens must then take justice into our own hands and seek justice through class action suits. Our alternative is to pay our tax on the basis of Market Value Assessment. The over -taxed portion should be set into a legal trust fund to rectify through law justice that is being denied through political misadventure. We can reconstitute the meaning of the word honour as applied to our elected members. Justice carries with it the necessary momentum to sustain public support. Premier Bob Rae should be told that the outlying areas that also hold a vote, maybe the larger portion of the vote, want to be equal partners in the economic restructuring. We feel as much left out now as he did when Mulroney discriminated against Ontario. Since Market Value has been instituted on an overwhelming number of Ontario Municipalities already previous to the present study what criteria was used then' South African apartheid caught the same advantages we are now to a lesser degree bestowing on our ego inflated Toronto Municipality. When they ask for a phase in period do not forget this plan has been phrasing in over these many years; this three year phase in is only a stall and a sham. Yours truly.

Sergeant Mee - RCMP High Interest Charges Are Wrong Says Board The interest rate charged by area municipalities on over- due taxes should be immediately dropped from a "credit card like" 15% per annum to around 6 or 7% -the same as charged by the Ontario and federal governments on over- due taxes -The Board of Trade of Metropolitan Toronto said in a letter submitted last week to the Metro and area municipal councils. Tax arrears in Metro Toronto are at crisis levels, currently approaching 1x600 million. -We believe it is hadamentally unfair for municipalities to be profiting from the misfortune of many business and residential property owners who are suffering on account of the extremely weak economic conditions which persist in Metro. Reducing the interest charged on tax arrears would be a small but beneficial recognition of the dire cw- cumstances in which many property owners currently find themselves, and is a measure which would make it easier for them to pay off their arrears," the lettei said. As The Board anticipates that municipal treasurers will argue that lower rates might contribute to actually worsen- ing the level of taxpayer delinquency, by making it less costly to stay in arrears. The Board counters that it is "not aware of any untoward levels of taxpayer delinquency at the federal and provincial levels resulting from their more lenient interest penalty char-ges". To deter going into ar- rears in the first place, the federal and piovrnc_nl govern- ments assess late filing penalties, wheras municipalities simply charge 1.:5% per month until taxes are paid, a penalty amounting to 15% per annum. Commenting on the current policy, Board of Trade Vice - President Mike Lauber stated that "it's structured in a way that lets property owners slip into arrears relatively easily, but then the cumulative effect of these "credit card" like in- terest charges hammers those that have been in arrears for Chiropractic Treatment Could Save Millions The health care system could save hundreds of millions of dollars annually if the recommendations in the recently released Magna Report wc.re implemented. The report has been greeted with enthusiasm by chiropractors and their patients because it coni+ides that chiropractic manage- ment of low back injuries is more effective and cost- effeclive than other treatments. Commissioned by the Ontario Ministry of Health, the Manga Report, developed by the Ottawa University Pro- fessors Pran Magna and Douglas Angus, outlines the benefits of encouraging chiropractic management of low back pain, one of the most costly causes of illness and disability in Canada. Key findings include chiropractic care of low -back pain requires fewer hospitalizations; it creates a significant reduction in chronic problems, as well as in levels and dura- tion of disability; Workers' Compensation studies repot that injured workers with a low back pain diagnosis rettmt- ed to work much sooner when treated by chiropractors than by physicians. The Manna Report confirmed what chiropractors and their patients have known all along," said Dr. Allan G. colo. "Chiropractic management of low back injuries is better for the patient and the health care bottom line." Low back pain is presently a leading cause of illness and disability in Canada. The treatment and last person hours cost the Ontario government and the Workers' Compensa- tion Board millions every year. The Manga Report estimates that low back injuries cost Canada $6 to $12 billion annually. This cost includes compensation, treat- ment and lost productivity. ,,This cold be an excellent opportunity for the provincial and federal governments," adds Dr. Manna. "Health care agencies are feeling the crunch of kw funding. Here is an opportunity for them to save money while actually improv- ing service to the public." The new report finds that scientific studies have shown spinal manipulations applied by chiropractors to be more effective than alternative treatments for low back pain. Many medical therapies are of questionable validity or are clearly inadequate. Evidence also indicates that spinal manipulations are less effective and safe when performed by ran -chiropractic professionals. The Marga Report recorn mends that chiropractic ser- vices should be fully covered by the Ontario Health In- surance o-surance Plan to counter the financial disincentive to pa- tients, hospitals and other comprehensive health organiza- tions should employ chiropractors on a part time andlor full time basis to increase accessibility, and the Workers' Compensation Board should have chiropractors engaged at a senior level to assess policy and procedures. The report recommendations. if implemented, trill en- sure that patients have the most effective and cost effective care," said Dr. Oolo.

Violence Against Women In Canada today, approx- imately one out of every five worsen is assaulted by her partner. In an effort to raise awareness of violence against women and provide its victims with much need- ed footwear, Town Shoes will again be running its two week campaign "There Are Too Many Women Who Need to be In Your Shoes". From Nov. 34 through to Dec. 9, Town Shoes Shop- pers across Ontario are be- ing encouraged to bring in the shoes or boots they love too much to throw away but no longer wear, for dona- tion to women's shelters. In Toronto and surrounding areas. the campaign will benefit Interval House. Participants will be given the equivalent of the GST off the purchase of a new pair of shoes for every old pair received during the campaign period, and Town Shoes will donate two dollars to the shelter. Canada's first shelter for battered women and their children, Interval House provides safe refuge and a variety of programs and services to enable women to gain independence and a life free from violence. an extended period. The Peds and the province do it much more intelligently -they use the late filing penalties as an in- itial deterrent to going into arrears in the first place, but are much more sensitive to the problems of the company or individual who's been unable to pay for an extended period of time. The way the cities handle the longer term overdue accounts is a bit like flogging a dead horse, frankly."

Without urgent action, the current total may rise to 40 million by the end of the century. In Scarborough, there are 129 cases of AIDS (3.6 percent of all Ontario cases). This is the third highest number in Ontario behind the City of Toronto (49.6 percent with 1781 cases) and Ottawa - Carleton Region (7.7 per- cent with 277 cases). Roger LaRade, AIDS educator with the Scar- borough Health Depart- ment, says this is why World AIDS Day is so im- portant. "In 1993, as the PAIDS pandemic con- tinues to spread it is time to fight denial. We still see discrimination and com- placency, among govern- ments, communities and individuals. With no cure in sight, prevention and education must remain ab- solute priorities. World AIDS Day is an opportunity for individuals and groups alike to share information and concerns," says LaRade. In October, the Scar- borough Health Depart- ment sponsored a public school poster competition. The works created by students are now on display at the Scarborough Civic Centre. The student posters bring attention to the concerns of young people. Their message'. To point out the fact that every community and every individual must take up the challenge of HIS' and AIDS. Wed. December 1, 1993 THE NEWS/POST Page 5 THE NEW SAFE SCHOOLS POLICY ON VIOLENCE AND WEAPONS The Scarborough Board of Education has recently adopted a zero -tolerance policy on violence and weapons in our schools. The policy, which comes into effect on December 1, 1993, clearly sets out the consequences for students who jeopardize the safety of other students and staff. Briefly, the new policy is as follows: e Violent or threatening behaviour by students in school or at school Sponsored or supervised activities will result in a suspension of up to 20 school days, and possible police involvement. The length of the suspension win depend on the seriousness of the behaviour and the individual student's record of suspensions. e More violent or d4ngerous behaviour will result in an interim suspension of 20 days, police involvement and a recommendation for expulsion. e Possession or use of a non -prohibited weapon will result in a 10 day suspension on the first offence, and a recommendation for expulsion on the second offence. e Possession or use of a prohibited weapon (as specified in the Criminal Code) will result in a recomrner k tion for expulsion and police involvement. The fun text of the new policy has been datnWed to each Scarborough student. Additional copies are available at your local school, or through the Board's Office, 396-7541. D.F.

Risk management is the process by which amateur hockey organizations identify, assess, minimize or eliminate and insure against the risk of bodily injury or ftnarcud loss resulting from their activities. While insurance is available to protect against unavoidable risks, risk management, or identifying, assessing, and minimizing or eliminating risks is the first lire of defence. All those involved in amateur hockey, including coaches, players, parents, administrators, volunteers, and officials, must help to identify and minimize or eliminate risks. - teach your players technical skills using proper progressions, especially proper techniques for giving and receiving checks and making contact with the ice and boards - ensure your players' equipment fits properly. provides quality protection and is adequately maintained - develop an Emergency Action Plan to be prepared for any serious injuries - ensure players follow proper stretching and warm-up routines before games and practices, and participate in off -ice training programs - inspect ice surface, bench area and dressing rooms for potential risks such as debris, protrusions and inadequate lighting - encourage officials to enforce all rules As a coach, you must assume a leadership For more information on risk role on this risk management team: management, look jar the C.4HA booklet - instill respect in your players for ruffles, "Safety Requires Teamwork " in arenas this officials and opponents and teach them to season, or contact your Branch about videos never hit an opponent from behind or the subject. __�_._..._.....�._,.�*�__ .`.s'="-��o+,�- ... ,..-c�-�rws_.- •r+r.,,.z,+cw•: ,- .. ..r..:.,,r,�,,..� .....,. ......--..-�.. ...,. ... e.., --••--............. ....-. Page 10 THE NEWS. POST Wed. December 1, IM Bill Watt's Worlds -~ ON STAGE: It's written that Judaism has survived millenia of persecution because of its sense of humour. Proof of that seems evident in Punch Me In The Stomach ! , a one woman show starring Deb Filler currently playing at North York's Leah Posluns Theatre. Only a cynic might see it as exploitive. Some will see it as small B. black com- edy. Most will appreciate and enjoy the manner in which this remarkable. handsome woman demonstrates with humour -of whatever description -what it means to be a Jew. There's nothing pretentious about her show. nothing shining (are you reading this Ar- nold Minors?) . only humour laced with com- passion and delivered with the well -honed observa- tional skills of a trained ac - Miss Filler was born in New Zealand of Jewish parents. Her mother had escaped The Holocaust with her family. her father survived it with only a brother and Iris skills as a baker. Her family thrived and Miss Filler. from this loving nurture, became and remains one of north America's best known monologists and actresses. Drawing upon a genetic skill with accents ( her natural Anzac and ac- quired Noo li'aw•k in corn- bination is dreadful to hear but spot on), she conjures up a cornucopia of characters to describe her Jewishness and, over all, her love of family. It's a charming perfor- mance: fun, touching and, dare we say it?, memorable. In truth, that's all we can say since her show is virtually in- describable. . .and in- describably enjoyable. See it and enjoy. IN THE CLUBS: Second City's new show at The Fireball is titled Tory, Party Of 2. It's a cute title reflecting the recent and deserved collapse of the national P.C. party. ( We'd have called it Who's Tory Now" but you know what's said about reviewers: Those who can etc.) It's also an ad hoc hook for sketches, one liners, black outs and songs to produce our only real an- tidote for the sorry state of the country ... laughter. To say that this latest revue is funny is to understate. It's a given that all Second City shows are funny. How funny are they? That's for the in- dividual to decide. We'll say only that as a reviewer. we see many shows and. although we enjoy laughter. are difficult to make laugh. I mean, we're talkin' deep down, table pundling. thigh slapping. belly laughter. Well, our hands are sore from punching the table. Community Diary (Continued from Page 4) TUES.

For details} call 447:4595, Around and Abou Your Dining &Entertainment Guide our thighs are thick from slapping them and our stomach walls are stretch- ed with laughter after the opening performance. And, that's allowing for a few lapses due only to opening night excitement. Even seasoned performers are subject to it, you know. Having so stated, let it be noted that the laughter in question was engendered by the skill of the per- formers rather than their material. You see, Second City casts are made up of actors who can be funny, not simply -simply! - comedians who can act. It's their skill with the material they use that reduces one to the jelly of laughter. Which isn't to say that there isn't some inspired clowning. One thinks of Steve Morel's take off of Felix Potvin. Delicious without ever being cruel. Mostly though, Tory - Party Of 2 is brilliant col- laborative writing delivered by an equally in- spired cast. A few highlights? Well, there's the sketch in which a middle aged couple are prepared to accept the fact of their gay son and his lover but not the fad that they're not going to marry - There's the suspicion of racism in Brigadoon ("It Burns me up!"). There's the dissertation on the na- tional economy -( Voila! It's zero'.' ). There's Paul O'Sullivan's hilarious bit as an amateur comedian try- ing stand up for the first time. One could, and probably should, go on but the point has been made that Second City's latest is second to none of its predecessors. The rest of the cast ably supported by Bob Derkach at the keyboards, is men- tioned now not as an after- thought nor out of simple professional courtesy but in rtec-ogniti n of skills that approach brilliance. . .Kathryn Greenwood, Jonathan Wilson, Andrew Currie and the toothsome Jackie Harris. You want to know what's meant by an all star cast? See this show. . .through tears of laughter. IN CONCERT: We have attended our first concert in the Recital Hall of the new Notch York performing Arts Centre and can record it as a foie experience. The designers have lived up to the original promise of excellent sound. We're not an engineer but suggest that much of it results from the generous use of cork panels and the fact that the floors are uncarpetted. Yes! It seems to us that the music bounces nicely from the polished wood into the welcoming bosom of the cork to produce a sound notable for its purity of balance, sort of musical rng and yam. The Orchestra of St. Luke's conducted by Lukas Foss presented an evening of Leonard Bernstein music. The Column isn't fond of the music of Berns- tein (Leonard or Elmer) but enjoyed the sound of the orchestra making what it could of it. Mr. Foss was a tad frenetic on the podium. Indeed, he was rather like a puppet on a string. forgetting that a good conductor sways, he doesn't caper. Still, he drew the aforementioned fine sound out of fine or- chestra. It was a most enjoyable evening and one looks for- ward to more, especially when the North York Sym- phony is "at home" with conductor Kerry Stratton. IN THE CLUBS AGAIN: When we were much younger and arguably still alive, we were part of a proposed vocal duet. Our partner was a gorgeclrs redhead and we were going to call ourselves The Kidds. The endeavour didn't come to pass -she elected to marry instead -and the only remnant of the experience is our occasional use of the cut line Billy D. Kidd's Notebook. None we've seen the vocal trio known as The Kidd Sisters. it was at The Rivoli where they were launching their first CD. Titled Songs You Love To Hate (Brimar), it's one that should soon be hitting the AM playlists and perhaps even those of the hoity sooty FM stations. What the Kidd Sisters do, in personal appearances and now on record, are cover versions of old sten- dards. Demographically, the young adults of the mid 1900s and early 1950s are now the best heeled seg- ment of the population and are clarmouring for the songs they enjoyed when they were first starting out. They get them from The Kidd Sisters. Among the 11 cuts on the album are Old Cape Cod, Boogie Woogie Bangle Boy, Hold Tight, Why Do Fools Fall in Love' Put That Ring On My Finger, Sincerely and even, Bye Bye Blues. (We remember when Bob Christie-Dinah's Father -used it as his clos- lag theme on radio before he embarked on a career of imitating Sir John A. Mac- Donald.) There are some originals as well such as Swing Boogie. an instrumental played while the ladies are changing costumes and Blue Elvis, a burtin' yet smooth torch. It's all great fun and almost as enjoyable as see- ing and hearing these gorgeous ladies in person. ON RECORD FOR CHILDREN: One of the late Ray No- ble's loveliest songs is titl- ed "Love Is The Sweetest Thing". Indeed it is and nowhere is love expressed more sweetly than in lullabies sung by calling parents to their children. So with gently eager an- ticipation we settled down to listen to Mothers Of The World by Jennifer Mason (A.& M.). This is a debut album on which his. Mason sings lullabies culled from her research into ancient lullabies from around the world. It's good, very good and one is quite captivated by the gentle, classically trained voice of Jennifer Mason. Regrettably one en- joys the singer, not the songs. Which isn't to say they aren't worth a listen; only to suggest that they are not such stuff as dreams are made of, to our ear -and, we've lullabied three children and three grandchildren. They're too .exotic by half.

Although brilliantly writ- ten by George Bernard ,Shaw, his satirical anti -war play "Arms and The Man" losses something in this day and age of push button total war. Heroic cavalry charges and young ladies swooning over dashing young of- ficers in comic opera uniforms, pales in significance to our 20th century war experience. The play, first produced in 18%. has had a promi- nent place in the English speaking theatre, but it is not usually presented these days even at the Shaw Festival. The Stage Centre Productions presentation of this play was of interest to myself not having seen this play in over 30 years. As usual this groups presentation was excellent. Clever use of the thrust stage had been made with an open stylized set. The period was set in Bulgaria in 1885 and careful research showed with the costuming especially the military uniforms. The production.side was rounded out with some ex- cellent lighting and technical effects. On the ar- tistic side the pacing was off, especially in the first ad. but there was some good personal acting and characterization. Agatha Marinakis (Raine) has a lovely speak- ing voice and stage presence. Marilyn Metz (Louka) did her usual sterl- ing performance as the maidservant. I was also impressed by Casey Flem- ing ( Major Saranoff) with the larger than life perfor- mance with good support performance by Maggie Clark (Catherine) who had also supervised the set building! L. Garth Allen was once again artistic director and was responsible for both set and costume design. He is to be congratulated on all accounts. Do try to see this Shaw play while you have the chance.

Tchaikowsky Discovers America is Susan Ham- mond's latest easy in- troduction to the classics and their composers in- tended for younsters. Released on The Children's Label (A. & M.) it's a fic- tional dramatization of Tchaikowsky's "famous trip to Niagara Falls" in 1891 when he first visited America to conduct at the grand ung of Carnegie Hall. The hook here is unim- portant. What matters is the music; selections from the master's Piano Concer- to No. 1, Swan Lake, The Nutcracker, 1812 Overture and others including even an excerpt from The Sleep- ing Beauty played in ragtime by the redoubtable John Arpin. An excellent album and well recommended even if the cover illustration makes Tchaikowsky look like the execrable Kyle Rae. Tim Burton's motion pic- ture Nightmare Before Christmas (Touchstone; Disney) strikes us as an abortion resulting from a miraculous union between Edgar Allan Poe and Aubrey Beardsley. Children should be exposed to it only with caution. To be honest, the same cau- tionary note was made for Snow White. Having written that, let it also be noted that the soundtrack is now available. The most and least that can be said of it is that if the child enjoyed the movie, he or she might en- joy the soundtrack. It's our personal feeling that many adults will use it simply for future Hallowe'en parties. A few years ago, we thought the Teenage Mu- tant Ninja Turtles were too contrived and blatantly sales oriented to be suc- cessful. How wrong we were. We've been wrong again, this time with Barney, the purple dinosaur. The creature has quite cap- tured the hearts of children and the pocket books of their parents. We've received and listened to Barney's Favorites Volume I ( Barney Music -EMI) and rather much against initial inclination, must admit en- )oying it. The songs, all 27 of them, are brief (mer- cifully?) and bouncy. Your correspondent enjoyed par- ticularly The Ants Go Mar- ching In as we recalled long ago Algonquin camp- ing trips with our own wee ones. Good album. Sharon, Lois and Bram continue to be very much a part of the children's music scene and we have their two latest albums to hand. Both are on the Elephant/A. & M. label. Candles, Snow & Mistletoe is subtitled A Family Celebration of Christmas & Chanukah. Candles Long Ago is made up of Songs For The Chanukah Season. Both are enjoyable. The latter recalled the late Ger- trude Berg's story about her orthodox father bring- ing home an evergreen tree at Christmas and proclaim- ing it "A Chanukah Bush!" Wonderful. FAST EXIT: We understand Brian Mulroney is attempting a comeback. He's trying to rejoin the human race. [travel $5000 Per Veteran To Celebrate Normandy D -Day Wanted: an individuhl, group or corporation will- ing to match an anonymous doctor's $5,000. The money will send a veteran and spouse next year to Normandy to at- tend events com- memorating the 50th an- niversary of D -Day. Ray Lunn, President of intra Travel - Oshawa, has announced that a man in West Vancouver recently mailed him a $5,000 cheque to be used to send a D -Day veteran to the ceremonies. Intra Travel - Oshawa is the sponsor of Operation Overlord 2, a program designed to take Second World War veterans, spouses, friends and other interested parties to the ceremonies aboard the Queen Elizabeth 2. "We approached Cunard Line with the idea when we learned that hotel space in France was at a premium during the early part of June next year," said Lunch. "the QE2 will serve as a floating hotel during our stay in Normandy after an Atlantic crossing." Lunn added that while the $5,000 is enough to pay the passage of one veteran, be or she will probably want to be accompanied by a spouse or friend. ' "the anonymous dolor left it up to us to select a suitable veteran and we've decided it should be so- meone who couldn't afford to go otherwise," he said. "Our company will pick up the couple's out of pocket expenses, but we're hoping there is someone out there who will pay for the second ticket." Lunn said the donor -enclosed the cheque in an emotional hand written let- ter that explained he was making the gesture in memory of a boyhood churn whose plane was shot down over France. "Our benefactor ap- parently has felt guilty all these years that cir- cumstances at the time prevented him from flying with his friend on that last, fateful flight," said Limn. '"Ibis is his way of snaking amends for surviving when hos friend didn't." Anyone wishing to con- tribute all or part of the fare for a travelling com- panion for the veteran selected for the trip can send a cheque, to Intra 'ravel - Oshawa, 1300 King St. )S. Oshawa, Ontario, L1H 9J4 or telephone, toll If ree : I -900 -269 -D -Day (3329). Lunn said the name of the downed flier will be made public at the sane time as the announcement of the veteran selected for the trip. Those contributing to the companion's trip will be acknowledged lublkiy unless they too wish to re- main ananyrntous. Scarborough Players On Birmingham Soccer Team The University of Alabama at Birmingham's men's soccer team, coach- ed by Mike Getman, fhmsh- ed the season at 11-7-1 overall with a second place funsh in the Great Midwest Conference (62-1). Two Scarborough natives were members of this season's team - goalkeeper Loukas Papaconstantinou and defender Danny TAan- nis. Both players were members of the Ontario Cup Champion Scar- borough Azzurn club team and attended Midland Avenue Collegiate In- stitute. Goalkeeper Loukas Papaconstantinou was named to the Great Midwest Conference All Newcomer Team as well as the All Conference Team_ He finished the season with a 1.4 goals against average, 109 saves and 5 shutouts. Papaconstantinou started all 20 games for the Blazers as a freshman. Defender Danny Zunis, also a freshman, started all 20 games for the Blazers as a defender and had two assists on the year. Zianrus was named to the Great Midwest All Newcomer team. Head coach Mike Get- man contributes much of the success of the season to the play of both Papaconstantinou and Ziannis. Getman says, "Loukas and Danny were the backbone of our defense this season and were a major factor in decreasing our goals against average of three a year ago to only one this season. They both con- tributed greatly to our suc- cess this season...

December 1, 1993 THE NEWS/POST Page 11 Alsatian Christmas Market Tradition - Not Forgotten Alsatian Christmas Market Tradition -Far From Forgotten Strasbourg held its first Christmas market, known as the "Christkindelsmarik", in 1570, a tradition which con- tinues to this day. Featur- ing various artisan works, toys, advent crowns, tradi- tional Alsatian Christmas cuisine and specially brew- ed beer, this outdoor and il- luminated market has a festival feel to it as there is so much going on throughout the city. Other events in the old ci- ty centre include: toy and doll exhibits at the Alsatian Museum, a creche exhibit at City Hall, a giant advent calendar filled with chocolate, St. Nicolas' ar- rival on Dec. 6, Christmas parades, horse-drawn car- riage rides, Christmas cruises especially for children with storytelling and hot chocolate, and many kinds of children's theatre. There is a wide range of concerts at this time, such as those performed in Notre Dame Cathedral in- cluding Midnight Mass on the 24th, choir perfor- mances with members ranging in age from 7 to 77 years old, chamber music, and carols from the Middle Ages. Several of the city's restaurants are featuring Alsatian Christmas menus. In Strasbourg, Christmas is celebrated from Nov. 27 through to Jan. 2. The local tourism office has pro- grammed hotel packages during this time with a choice of several hotels in- cluding the REgent Con- tades, Vila d'Est and Petite France, des Rohans, and Beauco r Bauman.

Riquewihr is most pro- bably the prettiest of all Alsatian villages. Located about 60 km SW of Strasbourg, it appears very much as it did in the 16th century as it has been for- tunate enough to escape the ravages of war. Once a walled town steeped in history, some of its ram- parts, entrance gates and Bell tower which date back to the 13th and 14th cen- turies still remain. The former castle of the Dukes of Montb0liard- Wurtemberg, completed in 1539, is now a Postal Museum. There are still many houses and cour- tyards dating from bet- ween 1509 to 1686. However, Riquewihr is also known for its excellent Riesling wine, the vines for which have been in families for generations.

Student Code of Behaviour BY Stefan Sierakewski After a year of careful deliberation, the staff at L. B. Pearson C.I. has developed a student code that reflects Pearson values and expected com- mon principles of behaviour. This new code strongly promotes three essential values for the ef- fective operation of our school community. These values are: ex- cellence and achievement, respect for self, others and property, and commitment to a safe and supportive learning environment. The code outlines expectations for behaviour that supports these values. There is a balance bet- ween responsibilities and rights for parents, teachers They Want Your Cereal And Detergent Boxes You don't need to throw out your cereal or detergent boxes any more. Recycling mills in Southern Ontario have pioneered the use of old boxboard packaging back into new packaging. And they can't get enough of it. "We've gone from no market three years ago when we first began ex- perimenting, to being 420 tonnes a month short," says John Mullinder, ex- ecutive director of the Paper & Paperboard Packaging Environmental Council (PPEC ). Some 75 municipalities in Ontario are now collecting old boxboard (OBB) for PPEC-member mills, but it's not enough. The council has lobbied Metro Toronto and Mississauga to add box- board to their Blue Box col- lections. And it is keenly awaiting Metro's decision whether or not to add box- board in 1994. "We've developed an en- tirely new market, have the customers lined up for the tonnages involved, and are just raring to go," says Mullinder. "It makes no sense for Canadian mills to import similar type material when it's right here in our own backyard." While cereal and detergent boxes are mostly 100% recycled fibre in the first place, they still generally end up in landfill. "We're closing the loop on boxboard by putting the old packaging back into new," says Mullinder. "We're firming up markets all the time but the major problem at the moment is collection. There's no reason for this material to go to the dump.," and students and staff ex- pectations are nowunified in a coherent way. In addi- tion, the code explains clearly the consequences of not meeting these expecta- tions. The Scarborough Board of Education has a Cum policy that students who fight, threaten or extort. assault others, possess weapons or replicas of weapons or who are involv- ed in drugs or alcohol shall be suspended and the police involved. For the reason, any student, no matter what the age or grade, will be immediately disciplined for any of these behaviours. Education must be a shared commitment in which students, staff and parents have not only rights but also respon- sibilities. The code makes it very clear that all members of the Pearson community have the right to be treated with respect and courtesy, free from verbal and physical abuse and racial, cultural and sexual discrimination. All members of the Pearson community have the responsibility to treat others accordingly. The great majority of students at Lester B. Pear- son Collegiate are involved citizens of their school community who work co- operatively with other students and staff to achieve their personal educational goals. The staff urges students to be involved in their school and to take an active part in over thirty sports teams, numerous clubs and special interest groups, enrichment activities, stu- dent leadership groups, and special events. With the assistance of the guiding principles in the new code of behaviour, Pearson students are bet- ter prepared to live the school motto of: "Peace Through Understanding" SPORTS Basketball Over the weekend of Nov. 20 & 21, Pearson Bantam Basketball Bengals par- ticipated in a tournament in Ajax.
