Pickering Council N otes Traffic At Bushmitl and Liverpool Rds. Four residents addressed council about a notice of motion regarding traffic at Bushmill and Liverpool Rds. Joseph Brown of 1206 Halsey Lane said that ex- pansion at Maple Ridge Public School and Pine Ridge Secondary School would not make sense with the traffic problems already being experienced_ He suggested that an alter- nate [route to and from the school be planned. George Orzesza of 2015 Bushmill St. said he felt that the property on which Maple Ridge Public School is situated is too small and to expand its population would worsen the problem being experienced by those parking and stopping. He argued that the children's safety should be the first concent. Madeline Cheeseman of 2013 Bushmill St. said that the traffic situation has become an unacceptable part of the community and increasing the number of students and staff is also unacceptable. She sug- gested that another route be planned from Pine Ridge Secondary School. John Silloats, 1306 Grovedale Court said that he is a member of the Bushmill; Liverpool Task Force and he feels that the problem being experienced regarding the traffic is outrageous. He added that all schools in the area have been approached re- questing that they consider staggering their hours.

Letter To The Editor Job Creation Dear Sir Madam, Prime !Minister Jean Chretien seems to understand the economics of tobacco but not the economics of job creation. He has decided to cut high tobacco taxes because they depress the legal sale of tobacco (and sustain a flourishing Mack market In the case of tobacco, he understands that if you tax something, you get lets of it. Astonishingh . however. he can't seem to make a similar connection between higher taxes on investment and job creation. If he did, he clearly would not be considering an increase of the capital gains tax. Capital gains are the rewards for making successful, risky investments. Investments create jobs The plain fact is that if Chretien increases the capital gains tax he will be increasing the tax on job creation. That means fewer )obs. We hope that by budget time. the prime rrunister makes the connection between investment and jobs and doesn't hurt both through increasing the capital gains tax burden. Yours truly.

Montreal Like Toronto Did you know that the task force on the future of the Greater Montreal area has just recommended a regional government for the 3 million people in the Greater Mon- treal Region'' Just like the Greater Toronto area, population growth in Greater Montreal has been spilling over the boundaries of the City of Montreal and the Montreal Urban Community (the island of Montreal). in early 1992 the Quebec govern- ment appointed a task force to propose a vision of the future for Greater 'Montreal. The task force presented its final report in December 1993. Since then, its recommen- dations have sparked a lively debate in the Montreal Region. The Canadian Urban Institute has organized a half day conference where you can hear authors of the report, reactions from the 'Montreal region and comments from Greater Toronto Area personalities. It will be held on Fri. Feb.25th. in Metro Council Chambers at Metro Hall, 55 John St..Toronto. Registration, coffee and muffins are from 8 a.m. to 8.30 a.m. and the conference is from 8.:30 a.m. to 12.30 p.m. Cost of the conference to Canadian urban Institute members is $42.80 ( including GST( and for non-members is $5:3. io ( including GST ( . Canadian Designers Challenged To Build Better A national competiton to improve the design and construc- tion of high-rise apartment buildings was announced Jan.31st. by the Hon. David Dingwall, Minister responsible for Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHCi, and the HOn. Anne McLellan, Minister of Natural Resources Canada (NRCan), The "IDEAS Challenge.. addresses some of the problems facing the Canadian building industry. Many high-rises sus- tain moisture damage that can be costly and difficult to repair. They suffer from low energy efficiency, poor indoor air quality, and uneven air and heat distribution. Many high-rises are designed with features which present bar- riers to people with disabilities. CMHC. NRCan and other agencies have funded research into ways of resolving these problems. The challenge will encourage builders and designers to apply the results of this research. "Not only mill this re-inforce Canada's role as a w•orid leader in housing technology. but we will all benefit from the spin-off effects of healthier living environments and the potential of new jobs within the building industry to meet the demand," said Mr. Dingwall. The challenge will consist of three phases. In the first phase. tearr>_c of architects, engineers, building scientists and developers from acrasa the country will submit preliminary designs for innovative high-performance residential high-rise buildings. In the spring, five of these tearns will be selected to receive $225,000 each and to con- tinue to the second more detailed design stage. Stage three of the IDEAS challenge represents the con- struction and monitoring phase. The winning team will be announced in the fall and will receive $-4;),OUII to reduce in- cremental casts. As well, an additional $25.(0) contribution will be made to the design with the best special accessibility features for disabled persons. "By developing and demonstrating advanced energy- efficienbt building technologies, we can help to ensure both a cleaner environment and the international com- petitiveness of Canadian Industry." said McLellan. "We are committed to working with the Innovators of the building industry to bring new technologies to the marketplace.., The IDEAS Challenge Is a coordinated effort under CSIHC's Healthy Housing Initiative and the C-200 Advanc- ed Commercial Buildings Program of NRCan's Canada Centre for Mineral and Energy Technology (CANMET(.

February 23, 1994 THE I EWS POST Page 3 Make The Most Of Your RRSPs With Proper Planning by Anthony S. Layton, M.B.A., R.F.P. Canadians are afraid of eroding social programs and complain about high taxes. How disturbing then, that everyone is not taking advantage of the easiest way to save for their retire- ment and decrease their yearly tax burden - the Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP). Even when Canadians do make RRSP contributions, they tend to be uncon- sidered, last minute deci- sions that may not be the most effective in- vestments. However, with proper financial planning, most Canadians can develop an easy and struc- tured way to develop a nest egg for their retirement and save yearly on taxes. Most Canadians do not have a company pension plan to provide retirement income. Therefore, chances are you will have to finance your retirement through your savings. If you expect to rely upon government retirement benefits, remember that current maximum benefits provide approximately $1,000 per month (before tax). Relate that to your current standard of living! Clearly, you must take maximum advantage of the best government pro- gram available to help you provide for yourself - the RRSP. The RRSP is a federal program designed to help us save for our own retire- ment through tax incen- tives. But, according to gover>rrneM statistics, only half of working Canadians have an RRSP, and even Mss take advantage of the maximum contribution. Because of this, most peo- ple are leaving their retire- ment future to the fates and paying more in taxes than is necessary. Today, tax laws allow Canadians to invest up to 18% of their earned in- come, up to a maximum of $12,500 for the 1993 tax year, in an RRSP. This gives every wage-earner the opportunity to ac- cumulate a savings fund that will help finance retirement, and claim a tax deduction equal to the amount invested in RRSPs each year, reducing his or her yearly tax burden. Canadians are missing out on the RRSP program because of a lack of finan- cial planning and poor reasoning. Young people are reluctant to begin mak- ing contributions because retirement is so remote. However, one of the easiest ways to ensure financial security in your retirement years is to begin con- tributing to your RRSP as early as possible. For ex- ample, if you start in- vesting $3,000 per year at age 30, your investment could grow to over 5250.000 by age 60. assuming a 6% annual growth rate. If you start investing the same amount at age 40. your fund will only be worth approx- imately $115,000. Others are missing out on making their RRSP con- tributions by waiting until the last moment possible before even considering in- vesting in an RRSP. By waiting until the February deadline, many people find themselves without the available funds to make Building Better Pensions For All Canadians Donald Glover, Presi- dent of the Life Under- writers Association of Canada (LUAC) in a letter to the federal Minister of Finance, the Hon. Paul Martin, MP, PC, has ex- pressed concern that the federal government was considering a reduction in the scheduled RRSP deduc- tion limits. Mr. Glover noted that ..pension reform started by the LaLonde paper of 1984 'Building Better Pensions for Canadians - Improved Tax Assistance For Retire- ment Savings', levelled the playing field between RRSPs and registered defined benefit pension plans... Individuals must con- tinue to have the ability to obtain, through RRSPs, a pension similar to those available to employees of large corporations, most union members and vir- tually all government employees. If the RRSP deduction limits are reduc- ed, the individuals who do not have access to the registered defined benefit pension plans will once again be disadvantaged. Previous governments have encouraged saving for retirement with several social and economic pur- poses in mind. To the ex- tent that retirees enjoy retirement income from private sources, reliance on government support, such as guaranteed income supplements and housing subsides, will be reduced. In addition, the savings ac- cumulated help to stimulate economic growth, such as through mortgage loans and invest- ment in corporate and government bonds all of which can be used to create construction jobs and hoi s- ing for Canadians. Mr. Glover urged the Minister "not to implement any further reduction or delay in phrasing -in the RRSP deduction limits since that would only amplify the deficiencies of the current system." Fairness in the tax system requires consistent treatment. Not all income tax exemptions and deduc- tions are alike. With many, no tax is ever collected on the amount involved. However, taxation for com- pany pension plans and RRSPs is only deferred and the amount is fully subject to tax when received. According to Mr. Glover, "tax is only deferred not exempted under tax - assisted saving for retire- ment and as the system matures the deductions claimed by contributors will be offset by the retire- ment income reported by retirees." Looking For Volunteers Information Scar- borough is looking for volunteers with good English and knowledge of Scarborough to answer telephones one day or one half day a week. This is a wonderful op- portunity for active retirees to volunteer their time. For details call Tricia at 321.6912 between 1 and 5 p.m. their RRSP contribution. When Canadians do make RRSP contributions, their investments are hastily made. Many pro- crastinators rush to their local financial institution without any investment strategy and without any idea of what to buy. Although this is better than not investing in an RRSP at all, you can be more effec- tive by developing a com- prehensive financial plan. Part of the process of developing a financial plan is the determination of the amount of money you will need to maintain your cur- rent standard of living upon retirement. once you are aware of what you are working towards, you can develop the current RRSP strategies necessary to achieve these goals. With extensive research, you may be able to develop a financial plan on your own. However, most suc- cessful plans will benefit from a consultation with a professional financial plan- ner. Financial planners are knowledgeable on the various tax and investment strategies available to meet your financial goals, both inside an RRSP and outside. For example, if you have trouble saving money, your financial planner may recommend a pre - authorized chequing pro- gram to help you make your RRSP contributions. By contributing a set amount of money each month into an RRSP ac- count, you can maximize both your RRSP contribu- tion and tax savings. Also, because of compounded growth on your RRSP in- vestments, monthly con- tributions to an RRSP will award you a higher return on your investments than if you wait until the deadline date. A financial planner will also be able to determine the rate of return you will 110 IND need on your RRSPs and other investments to meet your retirement goals. Cur- rently, there are a variety of investment vehicles open to you for your R.RSP, from Guaranteed Invest- ment Certificates, to mutual funds, to stocks and bonds. With current low in- terest rates, simply in- vesting in GICs may not be sufficient to meet your retirement goals. Even the most conser- vative investor can benefit from a mix of different types of investments that can include GICs, mutual funds, and even individual stocks and bonds. A finan- cial planner can help you to O f- 1 s -t �vv�s select a mix of portfolio assets with which you are comfortable, and advise you when it is appropriate to switch your investments to take into account your ,personal financial situa- tion. The types of in- vestments you will need to meet your financial goals will likely change the closer you get to retire- ment age.

Cigarette Smoking Cigarette smoking was an uncommon behaviour at the beginning of this century. By 1963, the habit had peaked. Since then, there has been a continuing decline in the pro- portion of smokers in Canada. dropping from 5o% in 19voi to34% in 1966. According to one study, approximately 29% of the Canadian population who are 18 years of age and older are regular cigarette smokers today, with 13% smoking more than 25 cigarettes per day. The health consequences of smoking are well documented. Smokers continue to be at a risk of dying from lung cancer, bronchitis, emphysema and car- diovascular disease. An estimated 38.011) deaths are at- tributed to tobacco use in Canada even year. This ac- counts for 3D% of all deaths among those 3S years of age and older. According to the Canadian Lung Association, a single cigarette speeds up your heartbeat. increases your blood presssure and causes a drop in the skin temperature of your fingers and toes. Female srnokrrs face grrate►t risk Despite the progress that has been made in Canada to the decline of the number of smokers, there is one group where there continues to be an increased trend towards smoking. These are young females between the age of 3a_*3. While peer pressure plays an important role. the number of young female smokers remains constant perhaps due to the fear of weight gain upon cessation. Whatever the reason. the dangers of smoking are double amongst women. There is an increased risk of car- diovascular disease in those women who use oral con- traceptives. Furthermore. pregnant women who smoke have more still births and spontaneous abortions. Their babies have lower birthweight-, and are more likely to die soon after birth.

Historically. Canada has been a great soldier in the anti - tobacco war. Our efforts include health warnings on cigarette packages, a legislated ban on advertising and many educational campaigns. Smoke-free workplaces have become more the rule. rather than the exception. Ac- cording to the Ontario Hospital Association, the majority of hospitals are now smoke-free, including Scarborough General Hospital, where we introduced our smoke-free policy in July 19911. Unfortunately, this month's dramatic duc retion in taxes of cigarettes by the federal government represents a major step backward in this campaign. Smoking is a problem for all to share For those who choose to smoke. there needs to be a realization that you not only inflict danger to your own self, but to those around you who choose not to smoke. Whether a smoker or non-smoker, the problem of cigarette smoking is all of ours to share.

Creation Of Jobs & Capital Could Be Lost If Capital Gains Exemption Repealed The financial health of Canadian companies is driven by entrepreneurs being prepared to put money into a growing business- Donald Glover. President of the Life Underwriters Association of Canada (LUAC), in a pre -budget submission to the Hon. Paul Martin. MP. PC, the federal Minister of Finance. "urged the continuation of the capital gains exemption in order to encourage investment in businesses that make a large contribution to the creation of _jobs and capital in Canada". When the capital gains exemption was introduced in the 19K9 federal budget it was an initiative designed to erwourafee investment in small businesses, broaden participation by individuals in equity markets, to assist Canadian companies to raise capital and to stimulate new businesses as well as small business growth. Mr. Glover noted that "the current 5100.000 capital gains exemption for individuals and the enhanced $.500.(1x) capital gains exemption for farmers and small business entrepreneurs is achieving the purpose for which it was introduced" The submission also pointed out that "many entrepreneurs have to forfeit their pension and retirement savings plan contributions in order to finance business expansion. In effect. the business becomes their retirement plan. One of the purposes of the enhanced capital gains exemption was to provide some balance between those who are member of pension plans and those who use their business as a source of retirement income. Thus, the enhanced capital gains exemption plays a doubly valuable role in our small business and farming economy." Since speculation about a possible repeal of the capital gains exemption started to surface prior to the last two federal bugets, most wealthy Canadians have already taken action to utilize their exemption. Mr. Glover pointed out "that the elimination or reduction of the capital gains exemption would penalize the middle and lower income Canadians who either have not accrued significant capital gains M bate or have been unable, because of the long term natureof the investment to trigger the gain."

February M. 1994 Bill Watt's Worlds ON YOUR TOES:ONE James Kudelka, the Na- tional Ballet's Artist in Residence has created The Actress expressly for prima ballerina Karen Kain and she dances the ti- tle role to virtual perfec- tion. The conditional is added only because Miss Kain still surprises with her con- tinuing excellence, in the truest sense of that often misused word. Just when one believes that she has achieved perfection in a role, the lady improves upon it in later perfor- mances. Still, anything bet- ter than that of opening night would be little short of miraculous. The Actress is an amalgam of Thornton Wilder's play of the same name, Joseph Mankiewicz's screen play All About Eve and Glen Tetley's ballet La Ronde. As The Actress. Miss Kain is seen as same in the twilight of her career recalling the events of her life and receiving the many personages who have been a part of her seemingly full but sadly empty life.

It's not a sad ballet - there are a few mornents of hugb comedy, about which more later - but neither is it a joyous one except for the dancing. The cast is large and the tableaux brief so one is hard pressed to single out individual excellence in support of Miss Kain. One must report. however. the continuing pleasure of wat- tiVdlJes & Wear ching young dancers Robert Tewsley and Robert Conn in their brief ap- pearances and Chan Non Goh muchly impressed as a young ballerina poised to take over the mantle of greatness from The Ac- tress. Praise, too, for Jeremy Ranson in his comic turn as a director. Mr. Ransom could not be aware of it but he beautifully parodied the late Busby Berkeley. En fin, The Actress belongs to Karen Kain: she is The Actress in every step and in every nuance of facial expression and body movement. The ending is pure theatre as, after her final dramatic dance, she pulls the curtain across the stage and faces her audience for perhaps the last time. When Ethel Barrymore would take her final cur- tain, her speech was always "That's all there is. There isn't anv amore... With Karen Kain, one never knows. Encore please. ON YOUR TOES: M0 The Actress was preced- ed by Paquita and Forgot- ten Land. The former is a delightful bon bon. It featured the beautiful Margaret II- Imann and the princely Rex Harrington to the choreography of Natalia Makarova after Petipa. It's always a pleasure. In fairness, one must concede that Forgotten Land. abich we initially felt was best forgotten, does grow on one with its over all feeling of dark foreboding. Even so. The Column still regards Jiry Klian's choreography as little better than a spurious piece of spastic plastic or vice versa. And did we only imagine overhearing someone remark that Rita MacNeill should stroll across stage from time to time' ON STAGE Not that our encomia tru- ly count for much but we Around and About Your Dining &Entertainment Guide continue to enjoy and be impressed by the excellent writings of Joanna Glass. To date, and under the auspices of the Canadian Stage Company, we have had the pleasure of Yesteryear and To Grand- mother's House We Go. Her latest play, If We Are Women, is in current residence at the Blum Ap- pel theatre and it's that rarity of theatre: a literate work that's funny as bell, with no cheap laughs. Truth to tell, a perceptive audience will realize that the laughter is in fact over life itself. The Creator gave humankind the gift of laughter because life itself is frequently nothing to laugh about. (Dare we hope that we're writing jut a lit- tle like Ms. Glass') If We Are women brings together four women. One is in mourning for the re- cent death of a lover. She is with her adolescent daughter, her mother and her mother-in-law. Jessica, the bereaved one. is a successful writer. She is literate and witty but evidently bearing more than scats of recent death. Her daughter is ... well, she's typical adolescent with the answers to everything and the solution to nothing. Her mother is earth wise but illiterate and still harbouring barely banked fury over her lot in life. The mother-in-law is an intellectual Jewish agnostic also in apparent control of her life but rather more railing against it than accepting it. The play is largely autobiographical and mild- ly purgative. Mind you, there"s no primal scream here. only the outpourings of four women leavened by wit and humour. our.

DC Stage Centre Productions "The Dresser" Stage Centre Produc- tions presents "The Dresser" by Ronald Har- wood Feb. 24 to Mar. 11, Thursday, Friday, Satur- day and Wed. Mar. 9 at 8 p.m , Sundays at 2 p.m- at Fairview Library Theatre, 35 Fairview Mall Dr. (Sheppard Ave. E. at Don Mills Rd.) Sir the last of the great. but dying breed of Jessica. She's attractive. witty and on the surface of things. what every woman wishes for herself. Yet. she allows one to sense rather than experience the chinks in her armour worn to purge the demons of an unhappy childhood and not always satisfactory adult life. Ruth McIntosh as the daughter is essence of her role. -.bright but not clever, knowledgeable but not knowing. As the mother-in-law, Rita Howell wisely resists, or has been so directed by Susan Cox to present simp- ly another Yiddisher mama. Oh, the inflections are there but the delivery is such that her lines draw laughter of themselves and not because of her slightest of accent. (When seeing her daughter in a pair of leggings, she say "For this you waxed your legs?!". Good stuff. One could weep over Patricia Hamilton's por- trayal of the illiterate mother. She is not unat- tractive, she is wise and, in her own way, articulate. Yet, such is her burden that everyone instinctively feels sorry for this likeable woman. But, she doesn't want sympathy and perhaps not even, love. She wants respect. If We Are Women could be seen by some to be rather too rambling and possibly it is. The words of English actor, managers, is in a bad way tonight. With Herculean effort on the part of Norman, the dresser. Sir finally does make it through the perfor- mance of King Lear while a World War fI air raid rages above. Is this his last per- formance? .....perfectly observed, devilishly entertaining backstage lore." N.Y. times. Ms. Glass, however, delivered by a superb cast are such that one is willing for once to eschew the thoughts of last trains or babysitters or parking lots for the pleasure of hearing them - One wishes no con- descension, only praise, in suggesting that Joanna Glass writes the way Ned Simon would like to. And, to hell with ending another sentence with a preposi- tion! IN CONCERT No one has ever said (ad- mitted?) that being a writer is easy but McKen- zie Porter has written that to live like a king, one should become a colum- nist. His words came back to us as we lunched cosily at Auberge Pommier follow- ing Livent's an- nouncements of the 94 95 Season at the Recital Hall in the North York Perform- ing Arts Centre. (That's a cumbersome title. Couldn't it be given as easier name? We'd cherfully plump for Drabinskv Hall). The program is most im- pressive and proof that the hall's 93194 season isn't a one trick pony. The usual bug bear of limited space precludes mention of all scheduled attractions but let us make readers salivate over just a few of them. Cellist Yo -Yo Ma and a program of Six Bach Suites Artistic Director L. Garth Allen and the cast and crew of Stage Centre Preductiaws invite you to join them at this -enthrall- ing, funny and touching.. play. For tickets, and reservations call 29W5557. Single tickets are $15, seniors students $12 and group rates are available. Above, are Roger Kell as .'Norman" and John W- ingworth as "Sir". for Unaccompanied Cello.

The King's Singers, in an exclusive Toronto ap- pearance. The Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Centre. Now, and at the risk of phillistenism, one must comment upon one of the artists scheduled for The Innovators Series. She is percussionist Evelyn Glen- nie who is hearing disad- vantaged; i.e. hard of hear- ing, possibly deaf. The temptation is not eschewed to raise the consideration of cause and effect. Oh yes, the food at lun- cheon. It was a buffet and each offering could stand alone. Gorgeous Catherine Belyea of Classical 96 FM was strong for the bouef au fromage and the shredded crabmeat latices. So were we!

The Toronto passengers were met by a welcoming party - internationally - costumed greeters waving Canadian Flags and Canada 3000's own mascot, Air Bear. Once through customs they were given small gifts and mementos to mark the occasion. The airport's new 55,000 square foot addition houses the expanded Federal In- spection Station as well as additional passenger ticketing and commuter waiting areas. This ter- minal addition increases the number of passengers that can be cleared through customs from the current 150 per hour to the 400 per hour required to accom- modate transatlantic flights. It also allows the dual use of existing gates for both international and domestic flights. Work is also underway to lengthen Southwest Florida International Airport's runway from 8,400 feet to 12,000 feet. While the air- port has served interna- tional passengers - primarily Canadian charter flights - for many years, the international terminal expansion and runway lengthening will allow Southwest Florida In- ternational Airport to serve nonstop transcontinental and transatlantic interna- tional flights. As Southwest Florida becomes an in- creasingly popular destina- tion for international visitors, the airport will be "ready to serve the world" Basketry Workshops At Todmorden Mills Museum If you love the look of hand made baskets, go to the Todmorden Mills Museum and learn the art of basketry from instruc- tors Lynne Ma jesky and Jule Koch.

February 23, 1994 THE NEWS POST Page 11 Skican Celebrates 25 Years With Innovative Ski Holidays Twenty five years ago, Skican pioneered the "Ski Canada First" philosophy which promoted ski holidays in the mountains of western Canada at a time when skiers were flocking to Europe. Now in 1994, Canada's premiere ski operator is again on the leading edge of ski holiday packages. Beginning in February, Skican will introduce Tremblant Grande Vitesse, new three and four day ski packages to Mont Tremblant which accom- modate consumers' price and time restrictions. "Short duration holidays have been very successful for sunshine destinations because they met the changing needs of the con- sumer," according to Robin Nasmith, General Manager, of Skican. "Our short duration ski vaca- tions will be a success not only because of the ac- cessibility factor, but also because of the speed, com- fort and convenience of modern motor coach travel and the superior ski ex- perience now established at Mont Tremblant. Even the name reflects speed - Grande Vitesse." Mont Tremblant was selected by Skican because of the revitalization and development efforts of In- trawest Group of Van- couver - the developers of the highly successful Blackcomb Resort at Whistler. Among the many changes that intrawest has made during their $413 million dollar expansion are expanded trails, new lifts, a slope -side walking village and a spectacular Mountain top lodge.

It was well kntowr that the first 24 hours would be critical to the outcome of the war. That evening, a fleet of 5.wo vessels left England and aircraft began taking off at 7 second intervals. Shortly after midnight. American airborne troops landed on the western side. near Ste-Mere-I'Eglise while on the eastern flank. British parpatroopers took two bridges crossing the river Orne. As night pro - ceded, Allied aircraft and vessels bombed the beaches while French Resistance fighters dynamited railways and severed telephone cables. Dawn broke over Nor- mandie, and the landing began. Canadian, British and French troops invaded the beaches in the east code-named Gold. Juno and Sword, while to the west the American soldiers attacked Omaha and Utah beaches. Omaha saw the heaviest fighting of these beaches. By nightfall the Americans had advanced a mile inland, while the Canadian. British and French forces overwhelm- ed their beaches and ad- vanced three miles inland towards Caen. 5Atb Anniversan of D-Dav The people of France. and especially of Norman - die, have never forgotten what the Allied Forces did for them. The anniversary of the Liberation has always been respected, but as this year marks the 50th anniversary more than 300 special events and com- memorative ceremonies have been planned throughout the year and in dozens of tower. The Memorial de Caen is an interactive museum dedicated to world peace, hope and brotherhood and has welcomed more than two million visitors since its inauguration in 1988. The Memorial will be the site of the very special events on June 6 events honouring the Allied veterans. This event is ex- pected to draw tens of thousands of visitors, in- cluding the heads of state of the Allied countries. The region of Normandie is expected to be very busy duri ng the week of June 34 but visitors should have no problem fielding accom- modation after this time.

The funds are being provided through a unique youth pro- gram called Bell United Wave, initiated by United Way of Greater Toronto and sponsored by Bell On- tario. The community service projects will tackle diverse issues such as eating disorders, violence against women, multiculturalism, anti -racism, environmen- talism and seniors. Some of the activities which will receive funding include: a two week project to heighten awareness about eating disorders: a visiting program to children at Bloorview• Hospital to pro- vide young patients with afterschool programming: and a video for physically disabled teem designed to break down the prejudicial barriers between "ablebody" teenagers and those with physical disabilities. Piloted in 1990 with 20 North York students, Bell United Wave fosters young leadership and volun- tarism ski Its and is the only program of its kind in Canada. Using the United Wav allocations model, young people first research and identify the needs of their community. design programs to address those needs and then apply to student -run committees for funding support. Once the proposals are approved, the community service pro- jects are carried out by the students. As participants are quick to point out, the program is run by students, for students. "We're very impressed with the calibre and creativity of community service projects being undertaken and also with the funding choices made by these young people," said Anne Golden, Presi- dent of United Way of Greater Toronto. "Much thought and caring went in- to developing project ideas as well as the decision making process." Murray Makin, Presi- dent of Bell Ontario, said, "We're very proud of our participation in Bell United Wave. It's especially grati- fying to see these young people getting so involved in their communities and developing talents like pro- ject management, leader- ship and public speaking, skills that they might not develop in school." This year, more than 300 students from North York, Scarborough. Toronto and East York high schools are involved. As estimated 3.500 students and com- munity members will benefit from the communi- ty service projects that are implemented.
