Port Perry High School
Students Study Attendance
Much has been written
about student retention.
Although Port Perry High
School does not have a high
drop out rate, students
decided to take the student
retention issue into their
own hands this year.
In May 1993, 11 members
of the 10 to Stay In School
Committee travelled to Ed-
monton to attend a national
Stay In School Conference.
On their return, they decid-
ed to conduct a survey at
Port Perry High School to
determine students' needs.
The survey was designed
to deal with reasons for at-
tending school, the school
climate in both the
teaching and program
areas, and reasons for
staying in school or dropp-
ing out. It was conducted
early in this school year to
gather as many students'
opinions as possible prior
to any of them dropping
out. Eight hundred and for-
ty of the school's 1100
students completed and
returned the survey forms.
"The results were sur-
prising," said committee
members Doug Taylor and
Nicole Gibson, herself a
former drop-out. "We
learned that grade 10
seems to be the year that
more students consider
leaving school and,
therefore, the year that it is
most crucial to counsel
students about the benefits
of staying in school until
graduation." School Based
Support counsellor Cindy
Cole agrees. "We need to
continue to expand on the
positives of staying in
school." she said.
The committee noticed a
downward trend in at-
titudes about school at the
grade 9 and 10 levels, which
reversed to become a
positive trend in the follow-
ing grades. Many students
expressed indecision about
staying in school or dropp-
ing out of school. Few dif-
ferences existed in the
answers from male and
female students. The
students felt strongly about
the need for good relation-
ships with teachers and in-
creased support for
students who are single
parents.
The 10110 Stav In School
Committee is composed of
about 15 students, ages 15
to 21 years, who are still in
school or who have dropped
out and dropped back in
again. They are busy at
this time presenting the
results of their survey to
school and board officials
and to various conference
groups.
Beginning Dec. 1, they
sat down with staff at Port
Perry High School to come
up with suggestions for pro-
gram changes and addi-
tional support mechanisms
which could be put in place
to encourage students to
stay in school. Committee
members are confident
their work will result in
more attention to students
at risk and increased stu-
dent retention in the years
to come.

About Immigration
by Bob Watson
It is very unfortunate that Sergio Marchi, Minister of
Citizenship and Immigration, has decided to carry out the
liberal Party's campaign promise to keep the annual im-
migration into Canada at 250,000 people.
Oh, we know that many more than that number want to
come to Canada but we believe that the first priority in this
issue is to calculate how many people we Canadian tax-
payers can accommodate with the tax dollars available.
Our opinion suggests that at the most we should allow
150,000 immigrants into our country.
At least, however. !Marchi says that refugees will be dealt
with quicker than before. Our current policy has been to put
refugees into accommodation (for which we taxpayers
pay!) and keep them there for two years. They are also for-
bidden to enter our work force.
We believe that our government will have to face the cold,
hard facts that Canada may go broke just trying to help
refugees. We know that there are millions of potential
refugees in the world - but Canada just can't afford to han-
dle everybody who wants to come here.
If we are going to get our federal finances back into
shape, every department must be reorganized and effi-
cientized. This country can't continue to spend and borrow.
Let's get realistic! Immigration is not an area of govern-
ment which can help the economy. But we suggest that new
immigrants should have skills to offer us.
Minister Delivers
1994 Immigration Plans
sergio Marchi. Minister of Citizenship and Immigration,
has presented the government's 1994 immigration levels to
the House of Corsunom. The target for this year is set at
250.000.
"This level reflects this government's commitment, set
out in the Red Book. to maintain immigration at approx-
imatel% one percent of Canada's population." stated Mar-
chi. "Specifically. prormses to prionne family class and in-
dependent skilled immigration, while promoting a
humanitanan policy toward_. refugees, have been
honoured ..
The number of family class immigrants will increase by
1,300 over last year for a total of 111.01)o), representing 45
percent of overall levels. The stream for independent im-
migrants - those selected primarily for their labour market
skills -- will increase by almost 10.000 for a total of 96,00.
This class. combined with business-related applicants, ac-
counts for 44 percent of the total levels.
In keeping with Canada's international commitment to
refugees, the number of refugees will be increased by 3.501)
for a total of 28.31X) for 1994. Government sponsored
refugees will number 7.300 up 7,00,. privately sponsored
are set at 6.000 up lAwl. while successful refuge
claimants to be landed in Canada are estimated at 15.111)0
1 up 1.4001. Importantly. the refugee levels are at a max-
imum with respect to budgetary and settlement programs
established in IW3
"I especially want to work more closely and cooperatively
with the pnvate sector in resettling overseas refugees."
said .Niarcht. "As we outlined during the election campaign,
the sponsorship of refugees from abroad by government
and pnvate initiatives, will be encouraged as it is a quicker,
more humane and more cost-effective means of ensunng
assistance to those who legitimately need refuge."
The levels report to the House of Commons also contains
new information regarding estimated out -migration,
visitor visas, student visas. work permits and supplemen-
tary humanitarian assistance initiatives for refugees
worldwide. These additional insights provide a more ac-
curate and dynamic reflection of the movement of people
entering and leaving Canada, and will become a permanent
fixture of future levels presentations.
"While the previous government's failure to establish the
1994 levels last June presented the new administration with
time and decision constraints.- concluded Marchi. "I was
determined about keeping our Red Book pledges upon
which we will build a sound and forward-looking immigra-
tion policy."

Ontario Heritage Week
Dear Friends:
I invite you to celebrate Ontario Heritage Weds, Feb.
21-27, 1994.
Ontano's Heritage - More Than Meets The Eye is our
theme for this year's celebrations. What we are all ex-
periencing at this very moment contributes to the seamless
continuity of Ontario's past, present and future heritage.
Our heritage is the '57, chewy which was built by Oshawa's
GM plant. It is the turn -cif -the -centum• Victorian house sit-
ting on the corner It is the Toronto Blue Jays winning back-
to-back World Series championships. It is the majestic
beauty of Niagara Falls.
Heritage takes from the past what a community thinks is
valuable and wants to preserve. It comets in all forms - from
the tangible, our old buildings and archeological sites, to
the intangible, our rites and rituals and our stones. And it is
also our natural, cultural and spiritual heritage. Heritage is
the total environment w•e have inherited from the past, are
Improving in the present and will hand on to the future.
Ontario's heritage, first and foremost, is about people. Our
identity and character are rooted in a rich and diverse
heritage. Everyone has a place. Let us all celebrate the
values and institutions we share as Ontarians, as well as the
diverse traditions and aspirations of our many peoples and
communities.
This week marks a time to appreciate and acknowledge
the people in our communities who dedicate themselves to
conserving and developing our heritage. We applaud their
contribution.
Dunng Ontario Heritage Week I encourage you to express
commitment to conserving and sharing your heritage
through support and participation in local events.
Yours sincerely,
Anne Swarbrick,
Minister of Culture, Tourism and Recreation.

Interim Report on Correctional Services Released
The Commission on Systemic Racism in the Criminal
Justice System, set up by the Ontario Government, recently
released its interim report.
Interestingly, problems identified by the Commission
were already identified and being acted upon by Solicitor
General and Minister of Correctional Services David
Christopherson. The research undertaken by the Ministry
on its own with correctional staff was shared with the Com-
mission as it prepared its report.
The Ministry recognizes that systemic racism exists in the
correctional system and that it must work to eliminate it.
The Commission report identifies three main problems:
racial hostility and intolerance in institutions, racial
segregation of inmates, and racial inequality in the
delivery of programs and services.
Here's what the Ministry has done so far: appointed a race
relations coordinator for Correctional Services; establish-
ed four worksite anti -racism committees on a pilot basis to
promote discussion of racial and cultural issues and resolve
issues at a local level; developed a statement of profes-
sional ethics, with the help of staff and union represen-
tatives; provided training for staff on the government's
Workplace Discrimination and Harrassment Prevention
Policy; and reinstated funding for ethno-specific program-
ming..
We believe that positive change is possible, and we're con-
tinuing to wont towards elimination of systemic racism in
the criminal justice system.
News From Ottawa
from Dan McTeague
MP Ontario Riding
Prime Minister Jean Chretien has announced a com-
prehensive national action plan to combat cigarette smug-
gling in Canada.
"We now have a government in Ottawa that is prepared
to take decisive action against cigarette smuggling which
has reached epic proportions across our country," said Dan
McTeague. M.P., Ontario Riding.
"Over the last few years, cigarette smuggling has been
increasing steadily without appropriate federal initiatives
to combat the problem. As a result, cheap contraband
cigarettes have been able to find a lucrative domestic
market, especially among our youth. In addition, con-
siderable tax revenues derived from the legal sale of
cigarettes in Canada, that would have been used for our
social and health programs, have been lost," added
McTeague.
"'Ile government's plan involves several interrelated
components designed to crack down on organized crime.
target individuals who break the law; reduce the pro-
fitability of smuggling; stop the illegal importation of
Canadian -made cigarettes from the U.S.; fund anti -
smuggling measures through a surtax on tobacco manufac-
turing profits: and reduce tobacco consumption. par-
ticularly by young people.- concluded McTeague.
About Cycling
from Metro By Cycle
History was made in November of 1993, when Metro's
Transportation Committee voted against Metro's
Transportation Department and referred the issue of wide
curb lanes to Metro's new Cycling Committee.
Now we're on the verge of another historical
moment!Metro's Transportation Department recently
presented a plan to widen Sheppard Ave. in Scarborough
( near the Rouge Valley) to four lanes for can - and trucks.
But at a recent Metro Council Meeting, led by Olivia Chow,
Council modified the plan to include Bicycle Lanes.
Now Metro By Cycle needs your help'. There are fears that
Metro Transportation Department will go back to council
and argue that it's not kpossible to include the Bike Lanes in
the road widening plan - the curb lanes will be extremely
wide at 4.5 metres.
Metro By Cycle needs you to phone contact your Metro
Councillor to let them know just how important this prece-
dent setting decision is to you and that Metro Council can't
back dowry from this decision ( Metro Council is elected -
Metro's Transportation Department is not!). The original
vote at council was close.
Today it's an arterial road in Scarborough but tomorrow it
could be a metro road in your neighbourhood. This is a
critical first step and we need your support and action!
Let your councillor know the importance of these Bike
Lanes to vou. Working Together, we can make Bicycle
Lanes on Sheppard Ave.. and elsewhere• a reality!

Choosing The RSP Investments That Are Right For You
by Bruce Burnett, Area
Manager Royal Bank
by Roger Silverthorne,
Area Manager, Royal Bank
by Lyn White, Area
Manager, Royal Bank
Everyone wants to see
their registered retirement
savings plan grow as quick-
ly as possible. The more
money you accumulate in
your plan, the more com-
fortable the lifestyle you
can look forward to when
you stop working.
To get the best results
from your RSP, you have to
manage it properly. That
means reviewing your plan
periodically, monitoring
your returns, and, most im-
portant, choosing the in-
vestments that are right
for you.
Because they combine
safety and guaranteed
return, many people use
interest-bearing in-
vestments such as
guaranteed investment
certificates or term
deposits as the core
holdings in their plan. It's a
good idea to continue to do
that, even when rates are
down.
However, if you're com-
fortable with the idea of ac-
cepting a little more risk in
exchange for potentially
higher returns, you could
consider diversifying your
RSP. You do this by incor-
porating other types of in-
vestments into your plan,
such as mutual funds.
If you decide to diversify,
keep in mind that the better
the potential performance
from any investment, the
higher the potential risk. '
Here are the three types
of investments you can in-
clude in your RSP:
Savings -oriented in -
.vestments are best suited
for investors seeking max-
imum safety. They include
investments with relatively
low risk such a Retirement

1994 Edition Of The "Blue Book"
It's been described as
many things - a guide, a
talisman, an oracle, even a
lifesaver. It arrives an-
nually with a resounding,
yet reassuring, thud. Its
full name is the Directory
of Community Services in
Metropolitan Toronto. But
is the social service com-
munity, it is known simply
as the "Blue Book".
The 1994 edition of the
"Blue Book" is the
definitive listing of the
area's community, social
service, non-profit and
governmental agencies
and programs. It really is
the one essential source.
Its 810 pages detail the
services provided by over
1,200 individual agencies.
the Blue Book is designed
by question rather than by
answer - you indicate your
needs and the Blue Book
leads you to the solution.
The volatility of the com-
munity service system
throughout Metro Toronto
has resulted in changes to
over 65% of the entries - a
record. In addition, nearly
50 new agencies are listed.
The Blue Book is publish-
ed by the Community Infor-
mation Centre of
Metropolitan Toronto. In
many ways, it's one of
Metro's best kept secrets.
It is an independent non-
profit agency which has
been in existence since
1952. Its basic mission in-
volves linking people with
services.
Low Back Pain Chiropractic Management
On Wed. Feb. 16th at 8
p.m. at the ballroom,
Crowne Plaza Hotel, 225
Front St. W. Toronto there
will be a public meeting
with Prof. Pran Manga,
who will speak on
••Chiropratic Management
of Low Back Pain."
An interdisciplinary au-
dience will hear first hand
why University of Ottawa
Professor Pran Manga
recommends in his recent-
ly released report that
chiropractic management
of low back pain is more ef-
fective and cost effective
than treatment by physi-
cians.
The Manga Report,com-
missioned by the Ontario
Ministry of Health, in-
cludes findings and 10
recommendations that
could, if implemented,
save taxpayers hundreds of
millions of dollars annually
in Ontario alone.
Other key findings in-
clude chiropractic care of
low back pain is more ef-
fective than alternative
treatments; workers suf-
fering from low back pain
injuries return to work
more quickly when treated
by a chiropractor; and
there is a far greater level
of patient satisfaction with
chiropractic care as oppos-
ed to medical care.
Manga will outline his
findings and their potential
impact upon taxpayers,
how back pain patients, and
the health care system, at
this public meeting
organized by the Ontario
Chiropractic Association
and the Hamilton
Chiropractic Society. Prof.
Manga will take questions
from the floor.

Scarborough Doctor Plays Role In High Blood Pressure Study
Dr. John Charles of Scar-
borough is one of some 90
Canadian physicians serv-
ing as investigators in a
pioneering international
research project, the
"Hypertension Optimal
Treatment (HOT) Study,"
and is seeking patients with
high blood pressure to par-
ticipate. Dr. Charles and
his worldwide colleagues
are seeking something
physicians have never had
fore: a specific target for
lowering blood pressure.
The ambitious study will
be evaluating a total of
18,000 patients, including
1,500 Canadians, men and
women, aged 50 to 80, with
primary hypertension. Pa-
tients interested in par-
ticipating or physicians in-
terested in referring pa-
tients should call
1--800-361-5233.
"It is clear that lowering
blood pressure reduces risk
of suffering a heart attack
or stroke. The question is
how low should we go? If
we treat hypertension
more aggressively than we
do now, will the incidence
of cardiovascular illness
and death continue to
decline?," asks Dr. Car-
ruthers of Dalhousie
University and Victoria
General Hospital in Halifax
and Canada's represen-
tative on the international
"Hot Study" Executive
Committee. "Hot Study"
coordinators believe that
study results could
significantly influence the
future of hypertension
management interna-
tionally.
The Canadian arm of the
"Hot Study" will include a
cost effectiveness compo-
nent. "We hope to find out
how many heart attacks
and strokes are prevented
and at what total cost to our
health care system," says
Dr. Carruthers.
Endorsed by the Euro-
pean Society of Hyperten-
sion, this prospective, ran-
domized study is expected
to follow 18,000 patients
worldwide for a mean
period of 2.5 years (equal to

a major contributor to
these ailments. A recent
study of the Canadian
Heart Health Surveys
Research Group, entitled
"Prevalence, control and
awareness of high blood
pressure among Canadian
adults," found that 16 per-
cent of those subjects are
unaware of the condition."
Patients will only par-
ticipate in the study on the
basis of informed consent.
The HOT Study is
regulated by several in-
dependent committees
which will manage its ad-
ministration, evaluate
clinical events, monitor its
safety and validate its ac-
curacy.
The international co-
ordinating centre is at the
Ostra Hospital, University
of Goteborg, Sweden. Dr.
Pierre Larochelle of the
University of Montreal and
the Hotel Dieu Hospital in
Montreal is serving on the
international Steering
Committee and Dr. John
McKenzie of the University
of Manitoba and Health
Sciences Centre in Win-
nipeg is part of the Interna-
tional Data Audit Commit-
tee.
For the purposes of this
study, Plendil (felodipine),
a calcium antagonist, has
been chosen worldwide as
the antihypertensive treat-
ment of first choice. Plen-
dil was selected because it
is highly effective, well
tolerated, and can be used
in a variety of patients, in-
cluding those who take
other medications. Other
agents may be added as
necessary.
The Hot Study will also
evaluate if low doses of
ASA added to antihyperten-
sive treatment reduces the
incidence of major car-
diovascular events. Secon-
dary analyses will focus on
the influence of other fac-
tors on the study's out-
come. (e.g. age, sex, etc.)

COUNTRY PORK RAGOUT
WITH APPLES `N' THYME
A new -style ragout with a satisfying horny flavor,
gn dist[ uses fresh Ontario Apples and is perfect for
a family supper, or a sophisticated dimer party.
2 1/2 b (1.25 kg) boneless pork, such as
shoulder
1/4 cup (50 mL) all-purpose flour
3 tbsp (45 mL) vegetable oil
2 large Ontario Onions
3 garlic doves, crushed
1 cup (250 mL) Ontario sparkling apple cider
2 cups (500 mL) chicken broth or bouillon
1 tsp (5 mL) dried leaf thyme
1/2 tsp (2 mL) dried rosemary
1/4 tsp (1 mL) each: ground sage, salt
and cayenne pepper
4 to 6 small Ontano Carrots
4 medium-size Ontario Apples
(such as Spy)
1 sweet green pepper
Cut port[ into 2 in. (5 cm) cubes. Place about a third
of the meat in bowl or plastic bag; sprinkle with 2 tbsp
(25 mL) of the flour. Toss or shake until evenly coated.
In large, deep saucepan, heat 1 tbsp (15 mL) of the oil
over medium-high heat; cook floured meat, turning
often, until lightly browned. Remove to bowl or platter.
Repeat with remaining meat, adding 1 tbsp (15 mL) o6
if needed. Save any remaining flour.
Meanwhile, coarsely chop onions. Add onions and
garlic to oil remaining in pan, adding another 1 tbsp
(15 mL) oil if deeded. Reduce heat to medium -low and
cook, stirring often, until onions are translucent, about
5 min. Sprinkle with any remaining flour; increase
heat to medium and cook, stirring, about 1 min. Add
cider, stirring to remove any browned bits from pan
bottom; gook, whisking frequently, about 3 min. or
until thickened. Stir in broth, thyme, rosemary, sage,
salt and cayenne.
Return pork and any accumulated juices to pan.
Increase heat; cover and bring to boil.
Meanwhile, peel carrots, if necessary, and slice
lengthwise into strips about 1/3 in. (8 mm) wide. Cut
strips into bite -size pieces about 2 in. (5 cm) long. Add
to boiling ragout. Decrease heat to low and simmer,
covered, stirring often, 30 min. Meanwhile, peel, core
and slice apples, into 1/3 in. (8 mm) wide wedges. Add
to ragout and continue simmering, covered and stir-
ring often, 20 min. Seed and cut pepper into 1/2 in.
(1 cm) cubes. Add to ragout and continue simmering
just until pork is fork tender and apples are "al dente,"
about 5 more min. Serves 8.
Preparation Time: 30 min.
Cooking Time: 1 hr., 20 min.

objectives, and using effective communication,
you will ensure the experience is rewarding for
your, your child and other participants. Here are more suggestions:
At the start of the season. establish that
you will treat your child like ail other players.
Commumcatc this to vour child and ensure
heishe understands that your relationship is
coach -player at the arena, and parent-child
once you leave. Respect these roles by leaving
the coach at the rink: don't continuously talk
about what happened at the arena.
!Never compromise these roles by
overplaying or favouring your child this is
unfair to otter players and will cause
dissension among players and parents. On the
other hand never place unrealistic demands
on your child just to show everyone that you
- give your child the same objective
feedback you provide to all players: be
honest and specific and leave v_ our
emotions out of it
- don't live your life through your child: let
than experience the game on their own
- use assistant coaches to provide your child
with different perspectives on the game
Circumstances sometimes dictate that
parents serve as volunteer coaches. Develop
your hockey coaching skills through the
National Coaching Certification Program
(NCCP) and Initiation programs and
encourage other parents to do the same.

author Welwyn Wilton Katz
tells youngsters about how
novels are plotted and
characters developed,
she's not necessarily train-
ing future professional
writers but future discern-
ing readers.
The London novelist
comes to Upper Canada
College Feb. 17 for a day of
talks to students, part of a
week long series of visits
by 14 top authors from
across Canada and abroad,
arranged by the English
department of the College's
Preparatory School for
Seventh -grade students
who are reading a course in
Canadian literature this
year.
Weh-n Wilton Katz. who
writes both for adults and
for young people, will be
discussing her own works,
such as False Face ( winner
of the International Fiction
Competition, 1987). The
Third Magic ( Governor -
General's Award, 1989).
Come Like Shadows (her
most recently released
book, about the Macbeth
curse and a bedevilled
Stratford Festival produc-
tion) and Time Ghost (her
next to be published novel,
in which a visit to the pre-

We saw it again at The

as always, completely won
over by it. Jeremy Ransom
was a last minute replace-
ment for Pierre Quinn and
he partnered Sarah Green
as the lovers Franz and
Swanilda.
It's not known to us how
often the two have danced
together so one is forgiving
of a few lapses more than
compensated for by the
sheer enchantment of see-

portraying young love in

Stephan Arnold was quite

Caroline Richardson was

Coppelia is a virtual diver-
tissement but one in which
the role of the corps isn't
downplayed. The corps was
in fine form on the evening
of our attendance and the
discipline instilled it by ar-
tistic Director Reid Ander-
son was clearly evident.
One young man stumbl-
ed, recovered quickly and
continued dancing. Then,
he stumbled again and. .
.again kept dancing. Pro-
bably few in the audience
noticed the double fault. A
fine tribute to a fine corps.
Incidentally, it was the
same spot on stage where
the two miscues occurred
and The Column has notic-
ed before that it's an
awkward one. It's to the au-
dience left and about half
way between the lap and
the cyc. One suspects it has
something to do with the
resillienncy of the stage
timbering at the point.
If we're making any
point at all it's that we had
to be alert to see even the
tiniest of flaws in this most
enjoyable of ballets.
HAPPY NEW YEAR:
The current scabrous
weather ought well con-
spire to conjure up
quintessential dog days.
Yet, living as or like a dog
needn't be all that had, for
the next 12 months anyway.
This is the Chinese year of
The Dog and The Column
was there to help usher it
in.
The place was the Man-
dann Club on the top floor
of Dragon city. The cor-
porate host was the Hong
Kong Tourist Association.
The reason for the gather-
ing was the pure pleasure
of fine food over nine
courses and good compa-
nions sharing the pleasure
of welcoming a new year.
Of course, it's hereditari-
ly moving to one who still
regards Haugh Ma Nai as
the apogee of the solar cir-
cumnavigation. ( We're
mixing mathematical
disciplines with family
memories here but what
matter?)
So, we found ourself with
the movers and shakers en-
joying a wonderful evening
and making a few mental
notes on the way in which
our world is becoming
more hon wgeneous. There
was the traditional Dragon
Dance but one notices the
dancers were weaning blue
jeans and sneakers. There
were servitors in cloth caps
with were arrtifi�cial and attach-
ed to the caps, sometimes
askew.
Still quiddity is what it
was all about and the occ -
Sion succeeded admirably.
Incidentally, why anyone
visiting Hong Kong would
wish to eat anything other
than oriental cuisine
escapes us but be aware
that the city offers cuisines
from around the world. One
can even eat Kosher. Oi
vey!
THEATRE NEWS:
Fine food was also the
order of the day following
when we attended luncheon
at the Canadian Stage Cen-
tre.
Over decent wine and
senvmptuous pollo Floren-
tine the future plans of the
company were presented
and one admires muchly
what was stated.
Details of individual
works and presentation
will, as always, be an-
nounced here as and when.
What truly impressed is the

pany to the latter half of the

Economic Profile Of The
Tourism Industry
The tourism industry is a very important sector of the On-
tario economy. In 1991 tourism earned almost $17 billion in
revenues in Ontario. The tourism industry is a large
employer. Ontario tourism accounted for over 272,000
direct jobs in 1991.
Large corporations and multinational companies are part
of Ontario's tourism industry, but the industry is made up
primarily of independent businesses, often located in small
communities. Tourism's ability to create and maintain jobs
will continue to be important to the economy in all parts of
the province.
Almost 159 million visitors travelled within our province in
1991. Over 24 million of these were foreign visitors. By a
wide margin, Ontario receives much more revenue from
tourism than any other Canadian province. In 1990, British
Columbia received 16% of the national total, Quebec receiv-
ed 18%, while Ontario received 36% of the national tourism
receipts.
Tourist activity in Ontario helps raise Ontario's interna-
tional profile by attracting non -tourism business. Much of
the tourism infrastructure, such as hotels. meeting
facilities and airports, is used by non -tourism businesses
and is crucial to the development of international
businesses in Ontario.
Tourism increases the familiarity which potential in-
vestors have with the province and showcases the benefits
of Ontario as a place in which to do business.
Worldwide, tourism is a very large industry with tremen-
dous potential. According to the World Travel & Tourism
Council, it is the world's largest industry and the world's
largest generator of jobs. Canada is among the top ten
tourist destinations in the world, but from 1986 to 1991
Canada is the only one of the top ten which experienced a
decrease in numbers of international tourist arrivals.
Projections for the growth rate of tourism in Ontario over
the next decade vary but there is a firm consensus that
tourism will grow at a rate appreciably greater than the
provincial average for most other industries.

Lester B, Pearson CI News
by Stefan Sierakowski
As part of their OAC
Geography independent
study project. two Pearson
students, Natalie Brown
and Sujatha Rajanathan.
with the assistance of Bill
Baird from the Scar-
borough Board of Educa-
tion's Research Depart-
ment, have actively devis-
ed and administered pro-
ject research to update a
previous cultural profile
prepared in the 1968-89
school year. The stated
purpose of the project was
to profile the nature of the
current cultural composi-
tion of the Lester B. Pear-
son C.I. student population
and to determine whether
cultural values influence
students' education.
The project proposal was
initiated by the Pearson
school administration and
the students have received
their active support
throughout the project. A
detailed questionnaire was
developed and ad-
ministered on Dec. 9, 1993.
The survey was
anonymous and student
participation was volun-
tary. The full participation
of all Pearson students was
definitely encouraged.
The students have inter-
preted the survey results in
their religious and
linguistic attitudes toward
school. The development of
a new Pearson Cultural
Profile could havea signifi-
cant impact on Pearson, a
school which has always at-
tempted to improve in-
struction for the students.
It will help us to work
toward having an even
more integrated student
body and the survey could
clearly have an influence
on future decision-making
at the school.
The Pearson C.I. office
staff was very helpful in
the typing and preparation
of the final survey for
school use. Students in the
OAC Computer Studies
class coded and tabulated
the survey results.
The results of this surrey
should make it easier to
live by the school motto.
"Peace Through
Understanding*'.
The following is a sum-
mary of the pnncipal fin-
dings of the report:
Represented in the
Lester B. Pearson C.I.
population were 31 distinct
religious affiliations. Aside
from the 574 born in
Canada. 530 students were
born in 58 different other
countries.
For 707 of 1109, their first
language is English.
Among the 402 ESL
students, there were
represented 45 other
languages. The dominant
second language groupings
are Urdu. Gujarati, Can-
tonese, Punjabi, Patoi,
Tamil, Arabic, Hindi, Viet-
namese, Portuguese.
Of the 1109 students, 790
are Canadian citizens, 282
landed immigrants, 30 are
refugees and 7 visa
students.
For the students, the
birth countries of their
fathers represented 83 dif-
ferent countries and for
their mothers 92 different
countries.
The United Nations has
designated Toronto the
most culturally diverse ci-
ty in the world. These
Malvern statistics il-
lustrate the reason why we
have earned that designa-
tion.

Don't Use Big Words
by Stefan Sierakowski
In promulgating your
esotenc cogitations or ar-
ticulating your superficial
sentimentalities and
amicable philosophical or
psychological observa-
tions, beware of
platitudinous ponderosity.
Let your conversational
communications possess a
clarified conciseness, a
compact comprehen-
sibleness. coalescent con-
sistency, and a con-
catenated cogency.
Eschew all conglomera-
tions of flatulent garrulity,
jejune babblement and
asinine affectations. Let
your extemporaneous
descantings and un-
premeditated expatiations
have intelligibility and
voracious vivacity without
rodomontade or
phrasmical bombast.
Sedulously avoid all
polysyllabic profundity,
pompous prolixity, psit-
taceaus vacuity, ventrilo-
quial verbosity, and ven-
triloquent vapidity.
Shun double entendres,
prurient jocosity, and
pestiferous profanity,
observant or otherwise. In
other words, talk plainly,
briefly, naturally, sensibly.
Say what you mean, mean
what you say, and "Don't
use big words".

-5 in 95". What that
means is that there is in-
tended to be a 75%
subscriber list by 1995.
On the basis of what we
heard over a delicious lun-
cheon on a cold winter's
day it's to be achieved. In
fact, S. R.O. might well be
on the honzon.

COMMENT:
We have been sent, and
are grateful for a copy of
Metro's Culture Plan,
Redefining Our Cultural
Framework.
It's well put together and
bears all the hallmark of
some care in preparation.
Having said that,
however, one feels con-
strained to ask why it was
produced in the first place.
No one needs to be told or
reminded that the country
as a whole is going through
tough economic times.
Culture is all well and
good. It is in fact probably
what makes life worth liv-
ing. But surely, survival
comes first. Let's concen-
trate on jobs (repairing
Metro's dreadful roads
would be a good start) and
the prevention of crime,
among other issues, before
"redefining our cultural
framework". In any case,
isn't there a bit of ox-
ymoronism in the word
"redefining"? How can
anything be redefined?
Either it's defined or it
isn't.
And. why is Metro so con-
cerned about culture?
Surely that should be a na-
tional not regional con-
sideration.
Can it possibly be the
case that Metropolitan
Toronto is already plann-
ing for that inevitable day
when it joins Quebec in
seceding from Canada?
IN PRINT:
Congrats to gorgeous
Joyce Barslow as her Wed-
dings and Honeymoons
magazine begins its second
year of publication. It just
keeps getting better and
better and securing more
retail outlets including the
important Lichtman's
chain.
Helping it along is a
simply bodacious line up of
contributing writers in-
cluding Gino Empry and
someone named Watt. He's
the youngest and hand-
somest of the W.
FAST EXIT:
R.P. M. magazine recent-
ly ran a photograph of
Clive Davis, the
Englishman who is presi-
dent of Arista Records the
pronounces it to rhyme
with barrister. Cor!)
Mr. Davis was with Col-
umbia Records when it was
known as the Tiffany com-
pany and headed by God-
dard Lieberson. The latter
was a man of fashion and
one of his trademarks was
the wearing of pocket han-
dkerchieves made from the
same material as the mat-
ching neck tie.
In the photograph, Mr.
Davis is wearing such a
pocket handkerchief in ob-
vious emulation of his
former employer. Too bad
he's wearing it in a tuxedo.
Tacky, tacky.
