Board &
C U PE Reach
Agreement
On Nov. 23. 1993. the
Durham Board of Educa-
tion and C. U. P. E. Local 218
Custodial reached a ten-
tative agreement. 7be new
three year agreement
covers the period Apr. 1,
1993 to !Har. 31, 1996.
Bargaining began last
spring but was disrupted
while negotiations of the
provincial Social Contract
took place throughout the
late spring and summer
months. At the local level.
C. U. P. E. opted for the "fail
safe" provisions of the
Social Contract, thereby
entitling it to protect its
right to extend its collec-
tive agreements to Mar 31.
1996. As a result of Social
Contract legislation. the
range of matters open to
discussion in local collec-
tive bargaining was reduc-
ed significantly.
7be new int con-
tains no wage increases or
benefit improvements over
the three year period. as
legislated by the Social
Contract AM, but it does in-
clude a number of wording
changes to the Language of
the agreement.
The tentative agreement
w•as ratified Dec. 11, 1993
by C.U.P.E. Local 218
Custodial members and
Dec. 13, 1993 by the
Durham Board of Educa-
tion. There is no increased
cath to Lige board for the
three years of the agree-
ment.

............... .............. ............................
No Paper Next Week
There will be no newspapers published on Wed.Dec.:Nth.
by Watson Publishing Company Limited. This is an annual
event because between Christmas and New Year's Dav
there is very little community action to report. 'Bost
citizens seem to relax and enjoy the time of year and rest up
from Christmas activities in the family.
It's a great time of year for everyone to relax and reduce
the stress from normal life all year. Of course, our schools
are on a two weeks' break and many employees are on
"Bobby Rae" days off without pay. This coming week is not
the kind prescribed for eco.lomic growth - but a break
should enable us all to put our working habis back into
faster gear.
So, everyone at Watson Publishing Company Limited is
hoping that our readers and advertisers enjoy this holiday
week. The next edition of our newspapers will be Wed.
Jan.5th. and we hope to bring to you the good. positive news
of your community during 1994.
Do Agencies Really Work?
Dear Editor,
i am writing for your help in locating members of dating
and introduction services. Until now, singles interested in
an alternative way of meeting people have had to rely sole-
a• on the claims made by service staff, sometimes with
disappointing results.
i am conducting the first objective evaluation of dating
service performance. Research results will be published in
a book titled "A Consumer's Guide to Dating and Introduc-
tion Services in Ontario". and will contain comprehensive
information enabling interested singles to choose a service
with confidence.
I am seeking dating service members (satisfied or
dissatisfied) for brief, confidential telephone interviews
about their experiences. A summary of the results will be
sent to participants To get more information or to schedule
an interview, please call 1;161 69P3100: leave your name•
number, and times convenient for me to call you back. If
you would prefer to receive a written questionnaire to com-
plete at your leisure, please fax me at 14161 691 >, or

Thanks For Donations
Dear Editor:
In these difficult times, it's reassuring to see that the peo-
pie of Toronto and area are still concerned enough about
their community to give what they can to help support more
than 8.0W children with physical disabilities in the pro-
vince.
:almost 3,000 people participated recently in the Bell Bob-
by Orr Celebrity Skate for Easter Seals. This annual fun-
draiser generated E28o,Wu. That's a lot of concern:
The dedication and spirit of the volunteers and the com-
mitment from our title sponsor Bell Canada and the support
of the Hockey Hall of Fame and other friends of The Easter
Seal Society has gone a long way to provide vital programs
and services to "our kids".
We owe a great big thanks to everyone that came out and
gave a donation to the Society. Thanks for making a dif-
ference.
Sincerely,
Peter Ely
Executive Director

Reforms Update Rules For
Life Insurance Agents
Ontario Finance Minister Flovd Laughren has introduced
a package of reforms to the Insurance Act that will provide
a legislative framework for updating the rules that govern
life insurance agents.
The Life Agent Reform Proposals I LARD r will ensure
greater consumer protection by requiring agents to
disclose more information and be better educated about the
products they sell. A code of ethics and rules preventing
agents from using undue influence or placing themselves in
conflict of interest situations will be developed.
Agents will also benefit from the neve rules. They will be
more informed about a variety of financial products and
will be allowed to hold more licences registrations. This
will enable them to offer more options to better serve
clients' needs and changing circumstances. With more flex-
ibility in the distribution system, the insurance industry's
ability to compete within the financial services sector will
be strengthened. Provision is made for a self regulating life
insurance council that could take on responsibility for
regulation and supervision of life insurance agents.
"The life insurance industry is an essential component of
the Ontario economy, affecting virtually every household in
some way, " Mr. Laughren said. "Many of the rules govern-
ing the sale of life insurance have not been altered in 40
years and are in need of reform if the sector is to remain
vital and able to contribute to the province's economic
renewal."
The LARP recommendations are the outcome of exten-
sive consultation between the Ontario Insurance Commis-
sion and the Insurance Industry, consumer groups and
other interested parties. With the government providing the
legislative framework, the Commission will continue to
consult all interested parties in drafting effective regula-

Graduated Licensing
Graduated licensing for new drivers - part of the govern-
ment's plan to make Ontario roads the safest in North
America - is close to becoming reality.
Expected to go into effect in the spring of 1994, the new
two-level system will increase road safety in Ontario by
helping inexperienced drivers gain knowledge and skills
gradually in low-risk conditions.
My goverriment and I are seriously concerned about road
safety in the province. In 1991, more than 1,100 people were
killed in car crashes and 90,000 people were injured.
Statistics show that new drivers of all ages are far more
likely to be involved in serious or fatal collisions than
drivers with more experience.
Safety experts around the world agree that the likelihood
of becoming involved in a collision is greatly reduced if the
new driver gains experience gradually, in conditions where
risks are low. Graduated licensing in New Zealand,
Australia, and some U.S. states, has helped reduce colli-
sions and fatalities involving new drivers. Provincial safety
organizations and other groups, including the Chief Cor-
oner, Traffic injury Research Foundation of Canada
1TIRFi, Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) and the
Insurance Bureau of Canada (IBC) support graduated
licensing.
Only one person - the accompanying experienced driver -
may ride in the front seat with a Level One driver. A volun-
tary novice driver sign will be made available to all Level
One drivers for their vehicles.
Level One drivers will be protected from potentially risky
situations on the road, such as driving at night, driving
alone, driving after drinking any alcohol, driving with too
many passengers in the vehicle, and driving on high speed
and heavily travelled highways.
After 12 months at Level One - or eight months if the
driver has successfully completed an approved driver
education corse - drivers must pass a road test to enter
Level Two where their driving privileges increase. Level
Two drivers must still maintain a zero blood alcohol level
and carry orily as many passengers as there are seat belts
available.
Level Two last 12 month, at the end of which the driver
must pass a test on advanced driving skills to qualify for
full license privileges. Safety measures such as graduated
licensing will save thousands of lives and help reduce the $9
billion total annual cost of road collisions in Ontario.
More Accountable
MPP Anne Swarbrick said the recent announcement of
the members of the Ontario Parent Council is a major step
forward in ensuring parents' views are heard. The council
will give Ontario parents a voice on education issues at the
provincial level for the first time.
"f am particularly pleased to sav that Mervis White, a
resident of Scarborough West, has been chosen to sit on the
council from over 1,100 applications," Anne Swarbrick
said. Mervis White's experience in community work will be
a valuable contribution to the Parent Council."
"The Ontario Parent Council is one more example of this
government's commitment to making the education system
more accountable," said Anne Swarbrick. -We now have a
group of 18 dedicated and enthusiastic parents who can
represent the diverse views of parents from across the pro-
vince. "
Member were chosen in two ways: three members tone
each) were nominated by existing parent associations: the
Ontario Federation of Home and School Associations, the
Federation of Catholic Parent-Teacher Associations of On-
tario, and la Federation des associations de parents fran-
cophwnes de l'Ontario. These members were chosen to
reflect, as closely as possible, the diversity of Ontario's
populatior-.
The council will have a two-part role: to promote local
parent involvement in the education system and to advise
the Minister on programs and policies of the Ministry of
Education and Training.
"When parents play a role in their child's education, the
whole system, including the child, benefits," said Anne
Swarbrick. "By creating the Ontario Parent Council the
government will benefit from the insights and experiences
that parents have with our education system."
tions.
The reforms are part of the omnibus Financial Services
Statue Law Reform Amendment Act, which also includes
credit union and caisses populaires reform and amend-
ments to securities laws designed to bring regulations into
line with the realities of today's marketplace.

Hydro Rates Going Down In North York
Electricity rates in North
York next year will be less
than they are now.
The North York Hydro
Commission has announc-
ed that retail rates will be
reduced by 0.5% starting
Jan. 1, 1994. "Forty-five
cents a month on a typical
residential hydro bill of
1000 kilowatthours may not
seem like much, but it's a
definite improvement over
the hefty rate increases of
Past years," said Commis-
sion Chairman Carl Ander-
son.
The biggest factor was
that Ontario Hydro did not
increase wholesale rates
for the electricity we pur-
chase for our customers,"
he explained. "So we faced
no increase in the cast of
power. We were able to
reduce the rates because
North York Hydro was able
to accomplish a number of
efficiencies and a small
reduction in capital pro-
jects, added to the monies
sacrificed by employees as
a result of the province's
Social Contract
legislation."
Commission vice-
chairman Bob Dyer noted
that, when the Social Con-
tract Act was first an-
nounced, the Municipal
Electric Association (of
which North York Hydro is
an active member) fought
to have any savings achiev-
ed by local utilities kept
within the electric system
for the benefit of residen-
tial and commercial
customers, rather than go
to Queen's Park to pay off
the province's debt.
"Since hydro utilities
receive no funding from the
government and had not
contributed to the provin-
cial debt, we wanted any
Social Contract savings we
achieved to be used to off-
set hydro rate increases.
And the government
agreed," Mr. Dyer said.
Mayor Mel Lastman, a
North York Hydro Com-
missioner, said that "with
Ontario Hydro committed
to keeping wholesale rate
increases within the rate of
inflation for the balance of
the 1990s, we expect to be
able to hold local retail
rates to the same level.
And that's good news for all
householders and
businesses in North York."

Light And Learning
Converge In Owen P.S.
Light and Learning con-
verge in a brilliant 21st cen-
tury design at the New
Owen Public School in
North York.
An official opening for
the 56,000 square foot
school, which is designed
for the next milennium,
was on Mon. Dec. 6. The
school is located at 111
Owen Blvd north of York
Mills Rd., west of Fenn
Ave.
The world-renowned ar-
chitectural firm of
Moriyama and Teshima
created the bright, accessi-
ble learning facility to
house Owen's 600 students.
At the heart of its structure
is the school's library,
around which are situated
17 spacious classrooms, all
electronically wired for
new technology.
And, at the heart of the
3,000 square foot library,
critical to the very struc-
ture itself, a Tree of Learn-
ing has taken root. A tower-
ing 150 year old Douglas
Fir tree from British Col-
umbia with laminated pine
slats that branch off into
the ceiling provides a sym-
bolic connection to the en-
vironment and to
knowledge and growth.
Owen's Principal Peter
Brennan says the combina-
tion of the building's
aesthetics with the life the
students and staff bring to
It give Owen a "homey,
comfortable" feeling, con-
ducive to good learning.
The school's emphasis on
literacy, mathematics, and
technology is evident
everywhere.
In addition to the
classrooms, the school has
three kindergartens a
multi-purpose lun-
chroom auditorium that
connects to a gymnasium
with overall potential
seating for 900, and a
conununityoperated, non-
profit daycare facility (the
Owen Community Lea
ing Centre).
Outside there are two
baseball diamonds, a soc-
cer field, 6,000 square -feet
of playground, 50 parking
spaces, six drop-off spaces
for buses, and a "ball wall"
to give the Junior
Kindergarten to Grade 6
students somewhere other
than the school itself to
bounce balls.
XMAS MESSAGE
We all know that Christmas
Is a very special time of year.

Sir Robert L. Borden•
Business & Technical Institute News
Assemblies Al
On Dec. 7th, Borden
welcomed four young ac-
tors and their stage
manager from Golden
Horseshoe Productions.
The whole student body
and staff assembled in the
cafeiorium for a dramatic
and hard hitting production
about genuine relations
between the sexes.
The actors represented
two male students and two
female students faced with
a school project to create a
skit demonstrating the con-
tinuing struggle for equali-
ty between men and
women. We witnessed a
variety of emotions and
truths as the play literally
unfolded before our eyes.
The message delivered was
a valuable one which we
hope every person took
away with them.
On Dec. 14 we were
pleased to welcome Dan
Carter whose personal bat-
tle with alcohol, druge
abuse and dyslexia shock-
ed each and every one of
us. Mr. Carter. a Scar-
borough native and rising
TV actor, has recovered
from personal problems
which had brought him
literally to the brink of
death. The theme of his
presentation was "Don'tm
Give Up Your Dreas".
Dan devotes much of his
time speaking to young
people in the hopes that his
dramatic story may help
the youth of today avoid his
mistakes.
Charitable Drives

Petipas and her history.

toys. books and much food
was collected at our school
to be donated to the
Homeward Family Shelter.
Thirty kids will find a hap-
pier Christmas because of
these donations. The
following students are to be
complimented: Steve

Logan, Chris Robichaud,
Adam Sawyer, Melissa

Jason Knights, Mo
Shaheed, Nakeba Walker,
and Davy Wazny.
Special thanks also to Val
Mercer and the following
families (friends of
Borden): Wazny, Harrison,
Knights and Shaheed.
In a second fundraising
effort many staff members
have donated clothing to be
delivered to Second Base
Youth Hostel, a shelter for
street kids. So many people
are in need this year, and
we hope our small con-
tribution will go a long way
to alleviating a difficult
situation.
Class Trip
by Barbara Foster -Linton
( Lawyer -to -be )
On Dec. 10 Mr. Cvi jetic's
Law Class from Sir Robert
L. Borden B.T.I. went on a
field trip to 311 Jarvis, a
Detention Centre for young
offenders between the ages
of 12-15 years.
When we got there An-
toinette Burgess, the per-
son who employed and
fir -ed people, showed us
around. She explained
everything to the best of
her ability, so we could
understand that jail is not a
joke -
Antoinette Burgess said
there are thirty-six beds for
young offenders. All young
offenders have to attend
school while they are
there: the only way they
don't attend school is if
they are sick, but a doctor
must see them. If your
sickness is not bad you
spend your sick time in
your room. but if you're
really sick they take you to
the hospital in handcuffs,
and always a guard there
with you.
I also learned that when
you attend school and you
don't want to participate
you get sent to your room.
Sometimes you qct 24 hour

room time and everything
is brought to you, like your
lunch, dinner, etc.
Antoinette Burgess show-
ed us some of the rooms in
the Detention Centre. In
some rooms there are
single beds with a
bathroom, in the other
there are two single beds
without a bathroom. The
thing that caught Borden's
Law class's attention was
that everything was nailed
to the floor. Plus there is a
window that was about six
feet off the ground in the
rooms that is made of plex-
iglass.
After 311 Jarvis we con-
tinued on our tour to 361
University Ave., the
Supreme Court of Ontario.
We met two crown at-
torneys: Gary Glewly and
Paul McDermot. They
gave us a little lesson on
what thev do. Paul McDer-
mot enjoyed being a crown
attorney. because he loved
to put bad guys away for a
long. long time. Mr. Glew-
ly, who used to be a defence
lawyer before he became a
crown attorney, also en-
joyed putting bad guys
away. Mr. Glewly showed
us where everybody in the
court room sat and what
they do.
,After the lesson with Mr.
McDermot and Mr. Glewly
we were lucky to go into the
other court room where
Mr. McDermot had a trial.
Mr. McDermot was trying
to get the worst time for the
criminal who sexually
assaulted a fifteen year old
girl in August of Is. In the
court house we waited forty
five minutes to an hour
while the judge read
everything on the 28 year
old criminal.
The criminal was found
guilty by a jury, but he was
there for his sentencing.
The judge gave him five
years in prison. I personal-
ly think the judge was be-
ing very easy on him,
because if I were in the
judge's position I would
give him 10 to 15 years and
a deportation order after
he served his time. We
don't need people like that
to jeopardize other inno-
cent young children's lives.

A Christmas Gift Like No Other
In the midst of blustery
winter winds and snow, in
the middle of a Canadian
winter, a very special
Christmas gift for
teenagers promises a week
of summer travel combin-
ed with northern
wilderness camp life, and
the excitement of space.
This Christmas, a unique
gift for high school
teenagers is the Algonquin
Space Campus (ASC) ex-
perience, a one-week
residential summer camp
in the heart of Algonquin
Park. With snow piling up
outside and the roads turn-
ing to ice, ASC campers
can dream of summer sun
and fun, in anticipation of
satellite communications,
the serenity of Algonquin
Park, the 46 meter
diameter (150 ft.) radio
Holidaying
At Historic
Houses
The holiday celebrations
continue at Toronto's
historic houses from Dec.
27 to Jan. 6th - Colborne
Lodge, Mackenzie House
and Spadina, the Twelfth
day of Christmas, when
tradition dictated that all
decorations must be pack-
ed away by midnight.
The origins of this feast
day date to the pagan
celebration of winter. Hear
how the families
celebrated the holiday
season. Children are in-
vited to participate in these
exciting hands-on ac-
tivities:
At Colborne Lodge you
can bake a gingerbread
cookie in the wood -burning
stove.
At Mackenzie House
write a holiday thank -you
card with an old-fashioned
straight pen and enjoy a
piece of 12th night cake -
you might find a bean and
win a prize' and decorate
and take home a cookie in
the shape of a Twelfth
:dight Crown worn by the
Bean King at Spadina.

Healthy Eating At Holiday Time
With holiday dinners just
around the corner many
residents of East York will
be preparing turkey and
other types of poultry. To
ensure the best results,
Suzanne Shaw, Public
Health Inspector at the
East fork Health Unit,
recommends that con-
sumers keep the following
pointers in mind when pur-
chasing, storing, and
preparing poultry pro-
ducts.
Purchasing
Labels on fresh poultry
indicate the date the bird
was packaged. Consumers
should select only
refrigerated or frozen
poultry packaged on the
date they are in the store.
They should also select pro-
ducts with damage free
packaging. Consumers
should avoid buying stuffed
fresh poultry since the
bird's cavity may not be
cold enough to prevent
bacteria from multiplying
to dangerous levels.
Frozen stuffed binds may
be purchased but con-
sumers should be sure to
follow cooking instructions
correctly to prevent the
growth of bacteria in the
stuffing.
Storing
It is best to cook and eat
poultry within 24 hours of
thawing or purchasing.
Raw poultry should be
stored in a pan or covered
container on the lower shelf
of the refrigerator. This is
to ensure that the raw
poultry and its juices,
which may contain harm-
ful bacteria, do not come
into contact with ready -to -
eat foods such as fruits and
vegetables.
Poultry can be thawed in
its original wrapping i in a
pan) in the refrigerator or
by placing it in a plastic
brag under cold running
water. Thawing in the
refrigerator takes appi -
imately 10 hours per
kiliogram or S hours per
pound, and thawing under
cold running water takes
about 2 haus per kilogram
or 1 hour per pound.
Although faster, the cold
running water method of
thawing requires a large
amount of water and is
therefore less environmen-
tally friendly than thawing
in the refrigerator. If using
the running water method,
consumers should sanitize
the sink afterwards with a
chlorine solution. Raw
poultry should never be re -
frozen after thawing.
Cooking
When handling poultry it
is important to keep all
working surfaces, hands
and utensils clean. Poultry
should be washed under
cold ruining water and pat-
ted dry before preparing.
This is to remove any
bacteria that may be on its
surface. It is recommended
that stuffing be made and
the bird stuffed just before
It Is roasted.
If necessary, stuffing
may be prepared the day
before but should be
refrigerated separately
from the bird. It is always
best to keep the stuffing
and bird separate when
preparing and storing.
Poultry should be cooked
continuously. Low
temperature cooking over-
night or partial cooking one
day and finishing the next
are not recommended, as
these increase the possibili-
ty of bacterial growth and
food poistlning. _
Roast poultry at a
temperature of 1600C or
325°F until the internal
temperature of the bird
reaches 856C or 185OF in
the thickest part of the
meat between the leg and
breast. The temperature
can be checked with a meat
or probe thermometer.
To test for doneness
without a thermometer,
pierce the bird and try to
move one of the legs back
and forth. If the juices run
clear with no pink tinge and
the leg moves freely, the
bird is done. Stuffing
should be cooked to 750C or
165aF. Poultry should be
served with the stuffing
removed and should not be
kept at room temperature
for more than 2 hours.
Leftovers
When storing leftover
Poultry one should remove
the meat from the bones.
Poultry meat and stuffing
should be refrigerated or
frozen separately. Leftover
Poultry should be
refrigerated or frozen
within the hour and should
never be left at room
temperature for longer
than two hours.
Refrigerated cooked
poultry will keep for three
to four days and stuffing
for one or two. Frozen
cooked poultry and stuffing
will keep for up to two mon-
tl.ls.

Wed.Dec.29. The next

Canada Cup Meet For Swimmers
by Muriel Warden
Etobicoke Swim Club
hosted this season's first
"Canada Cup" meet early
in December which at-
tracted over 500 qualified
senior swimmers.
In preparation for Com-
monwealth Games Trials,
which take place in March
to Victoria, B.C. the finals
were held in the long
course pool even though
this is the short course
season.
Bob Hayes, 17, from
Scarborough Swim Club
placed 4th in 100 metres
backstroke and was 2nd in
the Consolation Final of 100
freestyle.
Liz Warden was 5th in the
400 Individual Medley (IM)
and 7th in the Consolation
Final of 200 freestyle.
Teams from Florida and
upper New York state as
well as from across Canada
added an International
tone to this Canada Cup
meet.
Many swims were excep-
tionally fast for this early
in the season and fans were
thrilled by a near world
record in the men's 50
metre freestyle final.
It was a duo from Fort
Lauderdale who raced to
within 1100th of a second
off the recently set world
record.
Bob and Liz will be atten-
ding the trials for Com-
monwealth Games and
along with other team-
mates coached by Darin
Muma. they will be train-
ing vigorously at a 2 week
camp in Barbados over the
Christmas break.

Minor Hockey Agreement
An agreement has been
reached that ends the im-
passe which threatened to
prevent thousands of minor
hockey players in Ontario
from participating in im-

(OMHA) and the Ontario
Hockey Federation (OHF)

Saturday, aided by a pro-
vincial mediator appointed
last week.

It's down to the short
strokes now for Christmas
gift selections. Here are
some considerations for
book lovers. (Digression.
Surely books are the ideal
gift for that mythical per-
son who is thought to have
everything.)
Journalist William Satire
turned 65 last Friday. He
would, or should be, among
the last to suggest that he's
a literary purist in style, let
alone a grammarian but he
loves the English language
as it should be written. So
indeed, should we all since
English is the world's
finest written language and
second to only one other
when spoken. ( One can
almost see readers' heads
cocking in puzzlement over
what that other language

Quoth The Maven ( Ran-
dom House) and The Col-
umn recommends it to all
who have a love for and
aspire to, clarity of expres-
sion.
It's a collection of small
pieces, including many
from readers of his syn-
dicated column, about the
correct and incorrect
usage of some words and
about proper sentence con-
struction.
One is pleasured to read
that the gentleman who
coined the slogan "Winston
tastes good like a cigarette
should" was well aware
that it was grammatically
incorrect but wise enough
to bow to the wishes of the
manufacturer who felt that
most cigarette smokers
wouldn't know or care.
If one has a single
criticism of the book, it is
that the author has failed to
realize he is shamelessly
using the techniques of
modern typesetting to
make many of his points.
The now availability of
italics and the underline
dash has made it possible
for virtually anyone to
write in the mariner of
speech, thus eliminating
the gorgeous discipline and
precision of the true writ-
ten word.
And we can't resist poin-
ting out one typo, presented
in italics. Surely "and

storm is due. Swans, on the
other hand or wing, fly in
circles. To determine if an
earthquake is impending,
one should be aware of
what follows: "Previous to
earthquakes, the orb of the
sun is of an unusual color -
remarkably red or tending
to black. Bodies are seen
running in the heavens, ac-
companied with abundance
of flame, and the stars ap-
pear of a shape different
from that which they
possessed before.". That is
according to the Greek
historian Pausamas.
From whence these gems
of information? Why, from

The Old Farmer's
Almanac has long been a
staple for gift giving, in
paperback. Now, Random
House has published this
hard cover. beautifully il-
lustrated book about
natural disasters, their
history and how to predict
others.
It's all great fun and the
contents make for all kinds
of conversational entries.
Before leaving the sub-
ject of books we'd like to
wonder aloud about bow
Mr. Safire would regard
the description of "Greek
historian Pausanias". Is it
supposed to mean that
Pausamas was a Greek
who studied history or was
he of another nationality
and studied Greek history?
And. is Greek history sup-
posed to mean history of
the nation or of the
Ah English, what a

BIG SCREEN:
How pleasant it is to see
an honest to Capra movie
with a happy ending: one
that can make you chuckle
and cry alternately: one
like Grumpy Old Men
(Warner Brothers ).
Jack Lemmon, who is
unique and Walter Mat-
thau. the aging successor
to Jack Carson are
reunited in this film to play
the title roles.
They're old and they
dislike each other, have
done so most of their lives.
They survive on their
mutual dislike.
An attractive young
widow, 52 year old Ann -
Margret, comes into their
narrow world and each
undergoes a change to woo
and win her. It doesn't mat-
ter to the audience which
one wins. What matters is
the joy of watching these
two men, now well into
character roles, perform.
Simply a joy. ..funny as all
get out and yet almost
achingly touching.
Some will suggest that
the film is clich&-riddled
and formulistic. Some
Wright be correct but it's in-
escapable that it will touch
everyone. Leaving the
theatre, one is hard press-
ed to know if that lump in
the throat is from laughter
or from choking back
tears.
The entire cast is ex-
cellent but in addition to
the principals, watch the
acting of Burgess Meredith
as Mr. Lemmon's ninety
year old father. . "One
day you wake up and

The music of "The
Generations" featuring
CHFI's Erin Davis
highlights the fun and
entertainment at this
year's New Year's Eve
Party at the Scarborough
Civic Centre.
"The Generations" will
perform from 8:30 p.m. un-
til 12:30 a.m. The program
will also feature popular
vocalist Rick Fielding who
will get the evening started
at 7:30 p.m. on Fri. Dec.
31st.
In addition to musical
entertainment, the entire
family is invited to join in
the festivities.
There will be skating out-
doors on the rink all even-
ing. For the youngsters,
there will be clowns and
face painters from 7:30 to
10:30 p.m. and the Disney
movie "Aladdin" will be
shown at 7:30 and 9:30 p.m.
in the Meeting Hall.
prising) it would be to see
an invitational preview
screening at the Plaza
Theatre.
Yep, it's happened to us
again. Our invitation to
preview The Pelican Brief
( Warner Brothers) was for
7 p.m. with the enjoinder
"please arrive early as
seating is limited". Ob-
viously there was concern
that there would not be suf-
ficient seating for all in-
vitees.
Still, this film version of
John Grisham's best sell-
ing novel is considered to
be an important one and we
wanted our readers to
know about it. So, after a
late afternoon session with
the Clipper, we T.T.C.'d
downtown and before the
show nipped into the Misty
Mug for a brew and burger.
After wolfing it down-
gawd, it's awful todo that! -
we crossed over to The
Plaza at 6:45.
It was to laugh. ..or cry.
The queue snaked through
the Bay vestibule, along
Bloor and north on Yonge.
There wasn't a critic's
chance in Hades of getting
in. Readers will have to see
the film for themselves.
The advance word of
others is that Robert Culp,
in a return to the big
screen, impresses as the
President of the United
States. Our word as we
wandered once again into
the night is unprintable.
How sad it is that some
motion picture houses are
open during the Yuletide,
presumably for those
without immediate family
or friends. Even sadder is
that some films actually
premiere on Christmas
Day, presumably on the ex-
pectation of good custom.
Heaven and Earth ( Warner
Brothers) is one of them.
Viet Nam has long been
the Poland of Asia, raped
by successive waves of
foreign control that has
wreaked havoc on its
fragile economy and
ecology and has tried to
dehumanize its people. It's
little wonder that Viet-
namese are, or appear to

Commemorative Ceremonies
In Normandy June 1994
Some Canadian D -Day
veterans need not worry
about published accounts
of hotel cancellations in
Normandy for next year's
50th anniversary
ceremonies, reports one
travel agent.
Ray Lunn, president of
Intra Travel - Oshawa, was
on a recent familiarization
trip to Southern England
and the D -Day beaches
when he spotted a headline
in the London Daily
Telegraph.
"It read: 'No room at the
inn for some D -Day
veterans' and the ensuing
article reported cases of
French hotels cancelling
long-standing bookings in
order to charge higher
prices during the
ceremonies," said Lunn.
"Anyone booking with us
for the D -Day anniversary
in Normandy can ignore
such horror stories, " he ad-
ded. "Our clients board the
Queen Elizabeth 2 on May
29, 1994 and the ship is their
floating hotel for 10 days,
including a five-day tran-
satlantic crossing and
overnight stays in Cher-
bourg and Le Havre."
Lunn said a few cabins
are still available, starting
at $4,599 Canadian based on

cupancy. Anyone in-
terested can call, toll-free:

ing and grooming equip-
ment ensures that all
visitors will have 1009

Students Learn From Day In The Workplace
Jennifer Barry is a grade
9 student at Port Perry
H.S. On Nov. 30, Jennifer
joined 800 other grade 9
students from Port Perry
H.S., Cartwright H.S.
Henry Street H.S.. Pine
Ridge S.S.,Central C. 1. R.S.
McLaughlin C. V. 1. and Ux-
bridge S.S. in a project call-
ed "Take a Student To
Work".
The project consisted of
the students accompanying
a parent or other adult to
work for one day where
they observed and ex-
perienced life in the
workplace. They also
learned about the skills re-
quired for employment,
and some learned how to
cope with commuter traf-
fic, no time for lunch, and
12 hour workdays.
Employers responded
enthusiastically and parent
participants were thrilled
with the concept. "It was
the first time I was able to
talk to my son about
work," said one. Another
felt, "It should happen
more often, and for more
students. "
Originally, Jennifer
Barry felt the day would be
a waste of time. Then she
realized that the point of
the day was not to learn
everything about the par-
ticular job and workplace,
but rather to experience a
day in the life of an
employee.
Jennifer spent her day
with Marie Gabriel, Co-
operative Education
teacher at Durham Alter-
native Secondary Educa-
tion. If she thought the day
was going to be restful, she
was in for a big surprise.
Marie Gabriel packed the
day's agenda with visits to
Co-operative Education
sites around the region,
where Jennifer was respon-
sible for taking
photogrpahs of students
who were job -shadowing in
career areas of personal in-
terest to them. Later, Jen-
nifer had the opportunity to
attend one of Marie's Per-
sonal Life Management
classes at D.A.S.E. in
Oshawa.
"I am glad I participated
in this project," says Jen-
nifer. "I think it helped me
in many ways and I had a
lot to tell my parents when
I got home." Other
students agreed, and even
employers joined in with
positive comments. Said
one, "Young people in the
workplace offer hope for
the future. Spending some
time today will help us to
be more successful tomor-
row. "
Coordinators of "Take A
Student To Work" hope the
project can be expanded in
the coming years to include
more students and
employers because educa-
tion and business treed to
form strong ties and work
together to benefit future
career choices for young
people.

FESTIVITIES START WITH A
GOURMET TOUCH OF RENEE'S
We're just about down to the wire
now and ho -ho -hole mackerel.
where did the time go'' Seems like
we just got past Thanksgiving and
wham - Christmas is here!
Nov.. I for one ha%c all my Christ-
mas shopping complete ... not' All
my baking is ready and waiting for
the festivities to begin ... nope!
But am I in a flap'' Not a chance -
You see. I've teamed a few tricks,
guaranteed to make m- entertaining
this Christmas an absolute snap.
I discovered a while back that the
key to a successful menu, for those
"fun and informal" get together%
over the holidays, is to lay out a good
supply of "fun and informal" snacks
and light tidbits. The%'rc just the
thing to keep the pan _going. Folks
can nibble and sample and don't feel
weighed down the way they might
after a heavy buffet.
1 like to choose treats which vary
in texture• colour and flavour. A mix
and match array of tantalizing deli-
cacies which are tasty but ever so
quick and easy to whip up.
One essential ingredient that helps
me make the most of my festive
menu is Renee's Gourmet Salad
Dressing. In fact. I keep a good
selection of these all -natural dress-
ings on hand year-round. Great tast-
ing on salads ... naturally, but the
versatility really shines when it's
time to entertain.
As dips, a delicious base for
sauces - it's a "secret" ingredient in
so many tempting creations. The
richness and good taste of Renee's is
the perfect compliment to your great
recipes.
This holiday season, my guests
will be enjoying such crowd pleasers
as a classic Bruschetta made with
Rcn&'s Gourmet Italian Dressing.
Just imagine the perfect blend of real
Italian seasonings - you've never had
a bottled Italian dressing this ... this
... well. Italian! Now Bruschetta has
been a traditional favourite finger
food and a touch of Renee's makes
it even better.
Avery sophisticated but unbeliev-
ably easy to make Srra)kcd Salmon
appetizer and a dainty Radicchio and
Crab creation featuring one of my
with Lise O'Brien
favourites, Rcnee's ( ucumher and
Dill Dressing (I simply lo%c its fresh
light flavour, never overpowering)
are great last minute time saves.
And finally, two all-time "fave"
tidbits. "Stuffed Mushroom Caps"
made with Renee's Gourmet Caesar,
chopped spinach and water chest-
nuts, and cheery, colourful Renee's
Gourmet "Chem Tomatoes" featur-
ing the Greek Feta Dressing. What a
festive line up!
