O.P.S.B.A. Membership
Fee Approved
The board approved the
1994 membership fee of
$60.801.05 to be remitted to
the Ontario Public School
Boards' Association.
Trustees feel that the lob-
bying support at the pro-
vincial level and the work
that O. P. S. B. A. does for
school boards warrants the
payment of annual
membership fees to the
association.
1994 Budget Items Approv-
ed
Two items dealing with
the 1994 Budget were ap-
proved by the board.
Sinclair S.S. will open in
September 1994 with no in-
crease to the board's
custodial and secretarial
staffing complement.
Rather than hire for the
custodial and secretarial
positions which will be
needed at the school. the

formulas to generate these
positions will be adjusted
and current staff will be
redeployed to the new
school from other positions
throughout the system.
In addition, entry into the
French Immersion pro-
gram will now take place at
the grade t level rather
than at the kindergarten
level. This means that ef-
fective September 1994 no
French Immersion pro-
gram will be offered at the
kindergarten level, and
that effective September
1995 the French Immersion
program will be offered at
the grade 1 level. The
change to the entry level
for French Immersion will
result in a slight increase to
the 1994 budget because the
board will lose provincial
incentive grants for this
program which will not be
made up completely in the

Our Defence Costs
by [iib Watson
-The federal government seems determined to cut na-
tional defence costs but surely closing bases in Canada is
not the right answer. We feel that cluing home bases puts
people out of work. Why not bring our troops home from
Bosnia and Somalia where their work in these lands is not
producing anything worthwhile for these people. The cost
for our troops abroad is large and the defence budget could
be reduced with these troops carrying out local chores in
Canada.
In addition, we believe that our armed forces should be
enlarged with the addition of young people who are
unemployed. That would keep young men and women bus -v.
getting discipline and receiving pay but no welfare. In addi-
tion they could be learning a new skili to get back in the
work force.

Fair Tax Commission
Issues Report
On Dec .16. THE Fair Tax Commission 1 FTC) released its
final report. The Fair Tax Commission was set up to review
Ontario's tax system to help is develop a fairer tax system
for Ontario.
We encouraged the FTC to have the public participate in
its work because we're committed to developing the fairest
tax system going. No other tax reform exercise in Canada
has involved so many "non4ax experts"'
I believe this is the best approach to tax reform. Everyone
pays taxes. Everyone has a democratic right to have our
tax system explained, to debate how well it works, and to
suggest how we can make it better.
We deliberately chose commissioners from every walk of
life. I's not a surprise, therefore. that there was not
unanimous agreernent on every recommendation. The
overall document, however, was signed by every commis-
sioner.
Some of the best minds in tax policy contributed their
knowledge and expertise to the commission's extensive
work. They spent hundreds of hours researching informa-
tion to provide to the public, the working groups and com-
rrussioners for their deliberations.
The report contains 135 recommendations. We'reworking
on these recommendations now. some of them will be part
of this year's budget consultation process. A summary is
available through my office by calling 698-096,.
As in the last two years. I will be holding pre -budget con-
sultations in Scarborough Nest. Corrstituents should call
my office for more detaiLs. I'd be really pleased to see you

Mortgage Rates A Catalyst
Declining mortgage rates may act as a catalyst in Toron-
to's burgeoning housing market. according to the Winter
1994 issue of the Royal LePage Survey of Canadian House
prices. "Mortgage rates are at their lowest levels in 30
years and prices are at what we suspect are rock bottom."
says Gino Romanese, Royal LePage Vice President &
Regional Manager. "It appears that we may very well be at
the end of the downturn and at the start of an upcvcle."
"Housing activity in 1993 may have begun with a
whimper, but certainly ended with a bang," he says, citing
the record number of homes sold in Toronto during the
month of December (since 1988, as an example. "Combined
with the fact that active listings are down substantially
from peak levels reached in 1993 and, in some areas, there
are a shortage of good listings available for sale, it may not
be premature to be cautiously optimistic.

News From Ottawa
from Derek Lee
MP Scarborough -Rouge River
Derek Lee, M.P. Scarborough -Rouge River, said that the
Liberals are doing exactly what they said they would do
following the Speech from the Throne on Jan. 18th.
"Jobs and integrity are what we talked about during the
campaign. The Throne Speech should reassure all Cana-
dians that the Liberals have not forgotten those priorities.
Canadians are going to get what they voted for last
October," said Derek Lee. The Throne Speech, which tradi-
tionally highlights the government's priorities at the open-
ing of a new session of Parliament, was short and to the
point unlike Throne Speeches of the past.
"Integrity, honesty and openness will be the hallmark of
this session." said Mr. Lee noting the plan to bring forward
legislation to provide greater transparency in lobbyists'
dealings with government. The Scarborough M.P. also
pointed out that the role of Parliament will be enhanced by
reforms providing M. P.'s with a greater opportunity to con-
tribute to the development of public policy and legislation.
Measures to alter the pension plan of M.P.'s will also be
brought forward.
The Throne Speech reconfirmed the Government's com-
mitment to a joint federal -provincial -municipal infrastruc-
ture program which is proceeding immediately and the
creation of a Youth Service Corps to begin putting young
Canadians back to work.
In the long-term, the government will focus on small and
medium-sized businesses, working to improve access to
capital required to enhance business creation and growth.
and assisting innovative leading-edge tectnnology firms
through a Canada Investment Fund. Measures to promote
and assist technological innovation and research and
devebprnent will also be brought forward. In addition to the
priorities of job creation and integrity, the Liberal govern-
ment will introduce measures to enhance community safe-
ty and crime prevention.
What Makes
A Great Athlete
A goaltender follows the
flight of a speeding slap -
shot. A ski jumper careful-
ly spots ins take off point. A
figure skater remains
aware of the ice as she
spins through the air.
These are just a few ex-
amples of how critical
visual skills are to athletes
- world class and amateur
alike. Just like muscle
strength and speed, vision
plays an important role in
athletic performance.
Good visual acuity and
strong vision skills can pro-
vide an advantage that can
mean the difference bet-
ween victory and defeat.
"It is estimated that -40 to
60 It
of athletic pro-
blems are visual in orgin,"
says Dr. John Peroff. 0. D.,
Bausch & Lomb Sports Vi-
sion Consultant. "Ex
cellent vision is necessary
for optimal athletic perfor-
mance. It's important to
note that visual perfor-
mance can improve
through contact lens wear
and or vision training.
Every sport demands a
different set of visual skills
and presents visual
challenges. Figure skaters
for instance, require strong
eve hand and eye foot coor-
dination to maintain
stability. Hockey players
need good coordination and
excellent peripheral vision
to determine where they
are in relation to opponents
and the hockey puck.
Skiers must overcome a
mix of visually demanding
environmental challenges
such as cold temperatures,
wind. snow, rain, bright
light conditions and intense
ultraviolet exposure.
Until now. few athletes
have had their visual acui-
ty and visual performance
tested. This February, par-
ticipants in the 1994 Winter
Olympic Games in
I-Alkhammmer. Norway will
learn first hard how their
vision affects their sports
performance. Bausch &
Lomb. a worldwide Olym-
pic sponsor. will provide
visual performance screen-
ings using some of the
world's top sports Vision
specialists.
Tests conducted at the
Bausch & Lomb Olympic
Vision Centre will include
eye -hand reaction time,
eye -hand coordination and
visual acuity. The data
generated by these elite
athletes will provide im-
portant information for
athletes at various levels of
competition, including the
amateur sports enthusiast.
Sports Vision is an up and
coming area in eye health
care. Its application in the
world of sport continues to
increase as more and more
athletes and coaches
realize that visual perfor-
mance and athletic safety
can be improved through
vision correction, visual
training and eye protec-
tion. In Canada, Bausch &
Lomb's Sports Vision pro-
gram includes clinics for
elite athletes, as well as

Wins Contract
Don Mills phar-
maceutical manufacturer
Ortho, -McNeil Inc. has won
a United Nations contract
to produce 4.5 million in-
trauterine contraceptive
devices 11.U.D.sI. This
order will mark the 35
millionth I.U.D. produced
by the Ortho Phar-
maceutical division for the
export market.
The Ortho TCu380A.
I.U.D.s were ordered by
the United Nations Fund
for Population Activities
and will be exported
throughout the world. Or-
tho has been making
I.U.D.s in Canada since
1974, and has won other UN
contracts.
"We are very pleased to
win this competitive bid
which was put out to tender
worldwide," said Greg
Anderson, Vice President,
Corporate Development
and Biotechnology for
Ortho -McNeil Inc. "It
means the creation of jobs
in these difficult economic
times. "
To fulfill the order, Ortho
has hired 40 extra workers

manufacturing facility. It
is estimated that it will
take in excess of 12 months
to produce the 4.5 million
I.U.D.s which are made
from Canadian sourced

The wall, entitled
"Mosaic of Life", will bear
the names of individuals
and corporations who have

For many people, today's
low interest rates mean
that their registered retire-
ment savings plan will
grow mora slowly. That
could mean less retirement
income, and a lower stan-
dard of living when they
stop working. But it doesn't
have to be that way!
By diversifying your RSP
investments - by not put-
ting all your eggs in one
basket - you can build an
Council representation on
the nine -member Library
Board.
Businessman Lindley
Massiah was acclaimed to
his second year as Vice -
Chairman at the meeting.
He joins lawyer Linda
Abrams. Separate School
Board teacher Berenice
Pepe, retired businessman
Harold Randall and
librarian Nighat Sukhera
as the board's five citizen
members.
The board's first concern
in the New Year was to
devise ways of trimming
nearby 2% off its annual
budget in keeping with ef-
forts by city departments
to support a zero tax in-
crease despite rising costs
in such arras as the Blue
Box program. -The
challenge is to implement
RSP which contains a
variety of different in-
vestments. These may in-
clude term deposits, GICs,
mutual funds, and, for
those clients with Self-
directed RSPB, stocks and
bonds and other eligible in-
vestments.
Diversifying --also known
as "asset allocation --
reduces risk and increases
potential returns by
spreading your RSP in-
vestments around. By
restraints without com-
promising the core of our
service," says Councillor
Burton.
"For example, cutting
back on purchases of
library materials can leave
gaps in the collection that
can't be filled once items
go out of print. On the other
hand, preserving the col-
lection by trying to save on
cosmetic work to buildings
can result in expensive
structural damage later
on. We're having to make
difficult decisions about
priorities. "
The .Porth York Public
Library Board meets on
the first Monday of each
month from Sept. to May at
7 p.m. in the board room at
Central Library, 5120
Yonge St. The public is
welcome to attend.
diversifying you should be
able to significantly im-
prove your RSP's rate of
return and growth poten-
tial.
The following table il-
lustrates a diversifica-
tion!asset allocation
strategy for various stages
in your retirement plann-
ing life cycle and uses a
combination of deposits
and mutural funds to
achieve your diversifica-
tion goals.
Stage 1: Starting out.
Usually someone in their
20's.
Stage 2: Growth. Typical-
ly a person in their 3os or
40s.
Stage 3: Nearing retire-
ment. People in their 50s.
Stage 4: Retirement.
Usually someone 60 plus.
The right asset mix can
have a much greater im-
pact on the growth rate of
your portfolio than the in-
dividual investments you
hold -
The bottom line of diversi-
fying your RSP in-
vestments could be enhanc-
ed returns in your RSP -
am more money for votr

IN PRINT:
The Last Empress of
China has been
remembered as one of
history's most monstrous
women -a ruthless Manchu
concubine who seduced and
murdered her way to the
throne in 1861 to rule China
through perversion, cor-
ruption and intrigue for
half a century. This is due
mainly to the sensationalist
and inaccurate writings of
the aptly named Sir Ed-
mund Backhouse.
Now, Sterling Seagrave,
"an old China hand has
written Dragon Lady (Vin-
tage Books) and for the
first time, one can read the
truth about this
remarkable woman. She
was not a notably clever
person and was first
brought into the Imperial
household as one of the em-
porer's many concubines.
(Sex and play, then as now.
was the principal occupa-
tion of most rovalty. t Yet.
she was clever enough to
recognize and use situa-
tions to her advantage. She
was in fact, a well nigh
perfect negotiator who
newer hesitated to seek out
and use good advice and
counsel.
She was not without fault
but %as certainly not the
harridan portrayed by
Backhouse and others of
his infamous ilk.
So. Dragon Lady sets the
record straight as it wire
but it does much more: it
presents a well researched
history of ancient China. its
history and its customs.
Indeed, mare• wiU find
accounts of the customs
more interesting that the
details of battles and
diplomatic intrigues.
Consider the extensive
use of eunuchs in the Im-
perial presence. Afast of
them were volunteers, men
who sought employment by
these desperate means.
After the loss of the
genitals -the "thrice
precious" -most were in-
convenienced by no kxlger
being able to control their
bladders. Bed wetting was
common and they were
constantly dribbling in
their clothing: hence the
Chinese expressions, "the
foul fraternity" and "He
stinks like a eunuch".
Despised for their own
sakes, palace eunuchs
formed a secret society of
man-made hermaphrodites
(which strikes one as an
anatomical impossibility)
eager to make themselves
available to the masters as
sexual objects.
Dragon Lady is that rari-
ty among books: a
historical work that's en-
joyable to read, though one
suspects many men will go
no further than page 1277
mentioned in an earlier col-
umn.
IN CONCERT:
The North York Svm-
phony is settling nicely into
its smashing new digs at
the Concert Hall of the
North York Performing
Arts Centre.
Interestingly, its conduc-
tor Kerry Stratton has
made much the same com-
ments about the hall's
acoustics as did The Col-
umn on first exposure to
them.
The acoustics are good,
so good as to be unforgiv-
ing. Which is to say that
they reward: a good per-
formance with good sound
but are unforgiving of less
than the best. That's cer-
tainly not a problem with
an,. . orchestra drilled by
Mr. Stratton.
As proof, we recommend
the Feb. 17th concert with
featured soloist, the
violinist Ivan 7✓enaty who
will play Mendelssohn's
Violin Concerto in E Minor.
The orchestra will per-
form Verdi's beloved
Vespn Slclliam overture
as well as Beethoven's
Symphony No. 5. Yes, it's
an old war horse but a
magnificent one. It's most
certainly not a lollipop.

Buried Treasure Can
Be Found In Idaho
Anyone who has ever
dreamed of digging for
buried trasure is sure to be
thrilled with what may be
found on the East Fork of
Emerald Creek, south of
St. Maries• Idaho. Called
the "Gem State", the Idaho
soil is alive with the shim-
mer of glittering garnets,
and they are there for the
taking.
Idaho and India are the
only two places in the world
where the pretty star
garnets can be found.
These blue or black stories
are rare treasures, with
glassy surfaces that steal
the light and reflect stars of
four to six pointed rays.
and look similar to the
" 15ger Eye" stone.
The more common red
garnet, used for making
jewellry, can also be found.
At Emerald Creek, the
garnets range in size from
as large as golf balls to as
small as sand particles.
and the six -ray star garnet
can be wroth from $35 to
$50 US, depending on the
quality of the garnet.
The Idaho PanhandleNa-
bona] Foust allows garnet
digging in designated areas
from May 27 to Sept. 4,
seven days a week. Per-
mits may be bought on site
for $10 US for adults and $5
US for children under 14
years of age. Half the fee
collected is used for
general maintenance
through the season, and the
other half is used to restore
the environmental balance
once a site has been ex-
hausted of garnets.
Diggers may take up to
five pounds of garnets with
their daily permits, and are
permitted six digging days
per year or 30 pounds of
garnets, whichever comes
first. On average, a half
pound of gems is removed
for each permit issued. Of
course, there are no
guarantees - it just depends
on how hard you work at
finding them.
"We have a variety of
people who come to dig for
the garnets," says Denise
Hudspeth, Forestry
Technician. "There are the
serious "rockhounds", peo-
ple who travel from site to
site searching for jewellry
quality stones - they either
work for jewellers or are
themselves, either as their
occupation or as a hobby.
But mostly we get families
- it is a great way to spend
the day. especially for the
little ones. 7ney love the
shiny stones more than
anyone." If you decide that
you would like to have your
treasure set in jewellry, the
information booth at the
site can provide you with a
list of who in the area can
properly cut and set the
stones.
Idaho, "The Un-
discovered America", is
one of the northwestern
states, just east of
Washington State, and
south of British Columbia,
with a population of just
over 1 million. Idaho's
geography vanes from the
Rockies in the west to near -
desert in the south. "It's a
naturalist's paradise, with
thrilling whitewater raf-
ting, rugged hiking,
horsepacking, and camp-
ing," commented William
Tappe, Director Canada
for the United States
Travel h Tourism Ad-
ministration. "A vacation
in Idaho is an outdoor
adventure...
Recommended equip-
ment for digging garrets
include rubber boots, a
round -point shovel, a pick
or rock hammer, a bucket
for bailing water, a
quarter -inch mesh screen
box for washing gravel.
and a container for garnets
- a one pound coffee can
will hold about five pounds
of garnets. Equipment is
also available for rental on
site.

New Baby Whale In Sea World Of Florida
Gudrun, a 17 year old
killer whale, gave birth to a
calf, Baby Namu, at 10:46
a.m. in Sea World of
Florida's multimillion
gallon research and
breeding facility, Shamu
Stadium, the Orlando
marine life park announc-
ed.
The killer whale birth,
Sea World of Florida's se-
cond in three months,
allows researchers and
mann mammal experts
the extraordinary oppor-
tunity to study the social in-
teraction. communication,
behaviour and develop-
ment of two young killer
whale calves. The informa-
tion, wtuch will be shared
with independent resear-
chers and the public, will
help to further the
understanding and
knowledge of killer whales.
According to Dr. Ann
Bowles, senior research
biologist at San Diego's
Hubbs Research Institute,
communication among
young killer whales is one
of the many unexpkwed
areas of marine mammal
science. "Nobody has
figured out how to make
recordings of mother and
calf killer whales from the
wild, so Sea World is the on-
ly place we could address
such questions. We'd also
like to understand whether
there are gender dif-
ferences in learning and
what this means in social
interactions later on," Dr.
Bowies said.
Gudrun's birth to the 300
pond. seven -foot calf oc-
curred in Shamu Stadium

Moments after the birth,
the new-born calf instinc-
tively swam to the surface
of the water for its first
breath of air.
This is yet another very
happy occasion for all of us

community," said Brad

Andrews said. "As always.

year mortality rates for
killer whales in the world
are estimated to run as
high as 50 percent. This

World's environment.
"ss we always do in this

and nursing," said An-
drews. "Good nursing is
critical to the calf's sur-

for an indication that its
digestive system is
healthy."
The calf will nurse for
about a year before slowly
graduating to a solid diet of
fish. In the next 12 months,
its weight will nearly tri-

The birth was Gudrun's

The pirate admiral
Newfoundland fishermen become maritime outlaws
By !Marsha Boulton
HARBOUR GRACE, NEW-
FOUNDLAND. 1610 — What
British pirate "recruited" New-
foundland fishermen to a life of
pillage and plunder"
Maritime outlaw Peter Easton,
a short, dark man with a glib
tongue and a cruel streak that was
matched by his good cheer and
generosity remains a folk hero in
Newfoundland. The town of
Happy Adventure is named for
his flagship, and many of his
adopted pirates took the Easton
name in his honour.
While Samuel de Champlain
was struggling to found his colony
at Quebec, commerce was boom-
ing in St. John's. The Basques,
Portuguese, French and English
gathered at the harbour to trade
and refit their ship,.
Easton's first visit to New-
foundland was during the reign
of Queen Elizabeth I. He came
with her blessing as a privateer.
When James I took the throne.
he eliminated the legal plundering
of foreign ships by privateers,
which led to a massive transition
to outright piracy.
Easton made the transition quite
successfully. By 1610, he com-
manded 40 ships engaged in loot-
ing ship, in the English Channel_
Merchants petitioned the gov-
ernment for relief from Easton's
depredations and
Sir Henry Main -
warring prepared
a squadron of
ships to pursue
Easton. Howev-
cf. Easton avoid-
ed any engagement by embarking
for Newfoundland.
He built a fort at Harbour
Grace, and recruited or pressed
fishermen into his service.
Although he used Harbour
Grace primarily as a base, he
found time to raid Basque and
French ships for their arms, com-
mandeered cargoes of salt fish
and "liberated" at least one ship-
ment of French wine.
In Conception Bay he took two
ships and 30 ships were pillaged in
St. John's. The colony at Cupids
was spared after giving the bucca-
neer two pigs. Easton even protect-
ed the colonists' valuable fishing
supplies and tons of salt during the
winter. His loyal
followers dubbed
er ' b. him the "Pirate
Admiral" and he
was perceived as
a defender of
common folk.
By 1612. Easton had amassed
a considerable navy. He is said
to have taken 500 fishermen into
his employ.
Eaton's greatest coup during
this period was a raid conducted
in Puerto Rico. Although the
Spanish colony at Moro Castle
had withstood an attack by
Sir Francis Drake. Easton and
his Newfoundland pirates made
off with stockpiles of gold and

Values In Scarborough
Public Schools
Working with parents and guardians to contribute to the
development of values in children is an important priority
in Scarborough public schools. Fulfilling this priority re-
quires the recognition that each child is a unique individual
with physical, intellectual, social, emotional and spiritual
dimensions. Consistent with the policy of the Ontario
Ministry of Education, environments and programs in
Scarborough schools promote integrity and are founded on
values which Canadians regard as essential to their society.
These values reinforce the democratic rights and respon-
sibilities of individuals, and are grounded in a fundamental
belief in the worth of persons, irrespective of race, creed,
colour, sex or background.
At Lester B. Pearson C.I., our goal is to encourage the
development of these values in all members of our school
community:
A. courtesy and respect for self and others,
B. personal, social and environmental responsibility,
C. commitment to a safe and supportive learning environ-
ment,
D. self-discipline and commitment to excellence.

Transfers Announced
Lewis Williams, Vice
Principal at Dr. F.J.
returned with a Spanish ship filled
with treasure.
Basques had captured his fort
in his absence, and the triumphant
return ended in at battle on land
and sea. Forty-seven men died
regaining Eaton's fort and they
are buried at nearby Bear's Cove,
in a place still known as "the
Pirates Graveyard."
Although he was an outlaw in
England, Easton applied to King
James for a pardon. and apparent-
ly paid well for it. In fact, he
received two pardons.
En route to his retirement, Eas-
ton paused to intercept the Span-
ish plate fleet which was trans-
porting the annual loot of the
empire from Central America.
When he finally settled down
in a palace on the Riviera, Easton
was one of the richest men in the
world. He became a marquis, and
lived in the lap of luxury.
Although Easton never returned
to Newfoundland. his fishermen
pirates did and the Easton name
remains popular in that part
of Newfoundland where pirates
once reigned.

D.A.S.E. Students Visit
Board Meeting
As a result of Director
Pauline Laing's recent
visit to Durham Alter-
native Secondary Educa-
tion, Oshawa, members of
the staff and student body
visited the board meeting
to talk with trustees about
their school. Rick McIn-
tyre, President of the
D.A.S.E. Student Council,
outlined for trustees some
of the benefits of the
D.A.S. E. program. It offers
a flexible timetable and
gives students a second
chance at life by allowing
them to come back to
school in an adult setting to
upgrade their drills or com-
plete their graduation re-
quirements. Rick told
trustees of some of the ac-
complishments of which
D.A-S.E. students are par-
ticularly proud.
This year, they raised
funds for Denise House and
Settlement House and con-
tributed to the local food
drive before Christmas.
Their float placed first in
the education division of
the Whitby Santa Claus
Parade. The board con-
gratulated the D.A.S.E.
students for meeting the
challenge of furthering
their education and wished
them every success for the
future.
