The first pian is the original Durham Board implemen- tation plan which calls for full implementation in September 1987. The second plan calls for program development and accommodation changes in the first year, the im- plementation of a max- imum of 3 lead classes per area and 3learning centres in the region in the second year, an increase to a max- imum of 10 lead classes per area in the third year, and full implementation in September 1997. The third option calls for implementation of a max- imum of 2 lead classes per area and learning centres in January 1995, an in- crease to a maximum of 8 lead classes per area in the second year and 15 per 71r? 0 area in the third year, with full implementation in September 1997.

Some wanted it in the north of Pickering and some +anted it south. loose on the wrong side of the debate were made to ap- pear they didn't care about the community or lives, he said. A lack of trust and cooperation among politi- cians leads to wasted energy and public impa- tience, Pistritto said. The long-time provincial P.C. governrrlent was defeated by a Liberal government that was in turn rejected by the voters. Now the N.D. P. is in trouble. "Who's left to reject"' Pistritto asks.

ITIf Opinion a page for expression for you and us Hurry Up Spring! by Bob Watson Well, our various levels of government are busy conjur- ing up ideas to get the economy moving with more employ- ment. However, it is obvious that if we don't get some nice. balmy weather soon the economy will advance only slowly. In the meantime are our banks really trying to help small business expand with those government -backed loans? It is not obvious to most small business proprietors. Let's get this action going because this is the key basic area for Canada's prosperity. Aside from the economy there is a new trend in our elec- tion results which indicate the need for a formula. We refer to the M.P. for Markham and his low standing with his voters. It seems obvious that voters cast their ballots for him because he was a Liberal. Now he sits in the Commons as an independent and the voters are asking for a by- election. This seems a proper course because if he were still a Liberal it would be up to the political party to handle the situation. However, now he is back in the hands of the voters and we believe that another vote should be held. Patients Confirm Mange Report Years of persistent pain and chronic problems were relieved by short courses of chiropractic treatment for Ann Wisdom a Scarborough computer anahst. and Bradley Brown, corporate executive. Etobicoke. Their experiences and that of thousands of other patients - arm the results repotted recently by University of Ottawa professors Pran Manga and Doug Angus in a study commissioned by the Ontario Ministry of Health. The main conclusion of the Manga Report is that chiropractic management of low -back pain is more effective and cost-effective than traditional medical management. The report is under review b -v the Chiropractic Services Review Committee, headed by the Hon. Tom Wells. on behalf of Health Minister Ruth Grier Says Dr. William Watson. President of the Ontario Chiropractic Association: "The eeor omw and health benefits of chiropractic care for low -back pain are simply too great for patients and taxpayers alike to ignore. So, we are very hopeful that the Minister of Health will support the recommendabont made in the Manga Report. "At this time, when there is talk about cutting OHIP funding because of the growing provincial deficit. here's a solution that could save hundreds of millions of dollars a year in this province alone. "Equally important. it could provide access to hotter care for patients and we feel that should be the healthcare system's main concem " Stories of successful pain relief. such as those reported by Ms Wisdom and Mr. Brown, are heard ever•v day by chiropractors across the country. Ms Wisdom. who works for Canada Customs. says that: "I had eight years of daily pain and unsuccessful care at an enormous cost to OHIP. I finally consulted a chiropractor and after four weeks of treatment. woke up for the first time in eight years without pain. The positive results were long- term and drastically changed my life " A chronic neck problem that had not responded to years of medical care finally led Mr Brown to seek chiropractic treatment "The results have been excellent," he says "My symptoms are under control. I am more effective at work and this has not required drugs. expensive investigations and unwelcome side effects. " In addition to the effectiveness of the treatment. the Manga Report found that chiropractic care of low -back problems also is more cost-effective than traditional medical care Chiropractic was shown to have reduced the number of chronic cases and the length of hospital stays and to have helped workers return to their jobs more quickly. Thus, the Manpa Report says that the result of chiropractic management. if extended to all affected individuals, would be tremendous cost savines to the health care s%Nlem Inviting Artists To Exhibit In Libraries North York Public Committee.

Make Your Feelings Known Queen's Park Report Anne Swarbrick, M.P.F. Scarborough West Ontario NDP Is Creating Jobs And Cutting Costs 1 think it's David Somervill who "just doesn't get it" ire his Feb. 16 article). Ontario's NDP Government has been bolder and braver than any other government to date in cutting casts and creating jobs. Between 1990191, when we took office, and 1992'93, the cost of government operations for the province of Ontario were reduced by 11% - the first time spending went down in Ontario since 1932 - in spite of the costs of being in government during the worst depression since the 1930's We protected needed services in 1993 while cutting their cost by a further $4 billion. We negotiated a social contract with unions that reduced payroll costs by $2 billion while protecting 40.000 jobs and providing top-notch re -deployment programs where needed. The Ontario NDP Government's job creation focus ensures that business at every level will benefit from increased training, construction and spin-off activity generated by five jobsOntario funds which have already put 85.000 people back to work. Since 1991, the NDP Ontario Government has created or sustained more than 300,000 full -year jobs. Through jobsOntario Capital we're investing $6 billion over the next ten years in better highways, transit systems, clean water. pollution control and telecommunications systems. Creating 100,000 jobs and attracting more and more companies to locate and expand in Ontario. jobsOntario Training for those on welfare or whose Unemployment Insurance has run out has created 36,000 new jobs and saved taxpayers $1:35 million in welfare costs this year alone. Last summer, jobsOntarioYouth created over 80.000 jobs for youth. We've kept the construction industry alive by building 41.000 affordable homes through jobsOntinoHomes and other programs: over 71.000 jobs created. As Culture. Tourism and Recreation Minister, I'm responsible for the expansion of the Metro Toronto Convention Centre: creating 5.000 construction jobs, followed by 8.0m permanent jobs in hospitality and retail sectors. The Premier and I helped the Art Gallery of Ontario bring the world-famous Barnes Exhibit to Toronto this fall, creating over 1.000 jobs. Our government is working in partnership with key industries and unions to repostiion them to maintain and create good quality jobs for Ontario's future. In my riding of Scarborough West. we provided $400.000 to Eli Lilly Co. for expansion, creating 150 rtes jobs• plus construction jobs• and resulting in $170 million invested in the Ontario cconomy. We removed the liberal's infamous Commercial Concentration Tax putting $100 million back into the Metro Toronto economy. We kept an extra $Soo million in the econornv by refusing to make (lntarians pay PST on the GST. The 1992 Budget cut the corporate tax rate for small business to 9 5% on the first $200.000 of eligible business income• keeping an additional f25 million in the hands of small business people. Small businesses• representing more than 911°36 of Ontario firms are exempted from the corporate minimum tax we Introduced In 1993. Bob Rae earned the praise of business leaders with his successful trade mission to the Middle East; his beating P.M. Jean Chretien to the punch with the NDP's own infrastructure investment: opening up the Quebec construction industry to Ontario workers by threatening tough retaliation: and much, much more. We've kept up the good social programs we've come to expect while greatly reducing their costs, and while creating and maintaining thousands of jobs for Ontarians. It's been a tough juggling act. but l sincerely believe that we've done it better than any other political party would have: just as Tommy Douglas and other NDP governments have done before us. When people want to spread stories about NDP governments, I'd suggest they check history first' Here and There The First Home Loan Insurance Program Recent media reports have led to confusion regarding the renewal of the First Home Loan Insurance program, Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation said. "The First Home Loan Insurance program is alive and well," said Gilles E. Girard, CMHC Senior Vice -President, Insurance, Land and Asset Administration. "this federal housing initiative was extended until February 1999 and will continue helping first-time buyers purchase their first home with down payments as low as five percent." Since the program was introduced two years ago, more than 150,000 Canadian households have purchased their first home with five percent down payments. CMHC studies show that households have been prudent in their home pur- chases, with no higher risk than regular CMHC business. Give A Gift That Lasts All Year!

At the summit, to be held on March 5th, approx- imately 450 people with an interest in Ontario's educa- tion system will help the Ministry of Education and Training develop policies and procedureds that school boards should use for: reporting incidents of violence to the police and the ministry; recording in- cidents in a student's history; and developing policies for violence -free schools. Teachers, parents, administrators, students, The Wordmaker On Sun. Mar. 13 Eliezer Ben Yehuda is known the world over as the father of modern Hebrew. The Wordmaker, being screened by the Toronto Jewish Film Socie- ty on Mar. 13, goes further in telling the story of his fight to make Hebrew Palestine's national language and profiles the man who waged that fight. At the beginning of the 80th century, a language war raged in Palestine. The contenders: Yiddish, Russian, French, German and English - and Hebrew - a language barely spoken for 2000 years. At stake: the national language of the developing Jewish homeland. Ben Yehuda was a zealous, stubborn and courageous man and had one driving passion - breathing life into the an- cient biblical tongue. De- nounced as a heretic, dismissed as a dreamer, this brilliant man pressed on tirelessly, often at the expense of family and health. And if Israelis to- day converse, philosophize, argue and make love in Hebrew it is due to this man's efforts. Eliezer Ben-Yehuda's struggle for the acceptance of the Hebrew language and the toll it took on his personal life, is a dramatic and compelling account of a fundamental aspect of modern Jewish life. The Wordmaker is an Israeli film in English and Hebrew and was directed by Eli Cohen. It will be screened at The Art Gallery of Ontario, Jackman Hall, 317 Dundas St. at McCaul Street - at 7:30 p.m. on Mar. 13th. The Wordmaker will be introduced by Professor Libby Garshowitz from the U of T Near Eastern Studies department who will lead a discussion of the film and Ben Yehuda's work after the screening. Tickets are available at the door. Doors open at 7 p.m. Ticket prices are $7 and $6 for Art Gallery members.

Members of the public may register to attend the summit by calling 14800-463-7570. Registration will be on a first come, first served basis. "We need to hear the views and concerns of a wide cross section of peo- ple," said Mr. Cooke. "And we want to hear what they have to say. The most ef- festive solutions to this pro- blem will be found by work- ing with all our partners in- side and outside the school system. That's what this Community Summit is all about." The Community Summit was one of the violence -free schools initiatives an- nounced in November 1993, by Mr. Cooke. The summit is being co-sponsored by the ministries of the At- torney General, the Solicitor -General. Correc- tional Services, and Com- munity and Social Ser- vices. the Ontario Provin- cial Police, and the Safe h I �t J t•. �r`�� .t EtibAS School Task Force. Stuart Auty, Chairman of the Safe School Task Force, sees the summit as building on the work of the Task Force for a much- needed consolidation of partnerships. "We can't depend on someone else to do it for us," he said. "I see this as a turning point in Ontario. With the full sup- port of the Ministry of Education and Training, safer schools will be created through a con- certed effort on the part of parents, students, prin- cipals, the police and the community at large." 1 Come and visit our OPEN KITCHEN You can choose from a large selection of FRESH Fish, Lamb Baby Goat, Vegetables, Homebaked Bread, and much, much more!

These ame^cmer:s _. never been consolidated into a single document. The Officiai Piar, a so contains two different sets of Residential designations. These two situations make the Official Plan difficult to read, understand and interpret In recognition of these problems and as part of Council's commitment to simplify the planning process and make it more accessible to the public, Council authorized staff to consolidate the Community Secondary Plans. It is important to note that the content of existing policies will not be changed as a part of this program with the exception that staff propose to redesignate certain public facilities, such as schools, to a designation which accurately reflects their use. Council also authorized staff to apply one consistent set of residential designations to the City's communities. The significant impact of this component of the program is that Community Secondary Plans that presently do not contain maximum residential density provisions, will have density provisions applied. The Planning and Buildings Department will be holding two Open Houses to discuss these City initiated proposals. The Open Houses will be held on: Date Time Wednesday, March 9, 1994 4:30 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. Thursday, March 24, 1994 5:30 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. atthe Scarborough Civic Centre, Central Space, 150 Borough Drive, Scarborough. Your participation at the Open Houses is welcomed. Please plan to attend. Copies of the proposed consolidated Secondary Plans and Community Land Use Maps will be made available at the Open House meetings and at the Planning and Buildings Department Information Counter, located in the Civic Centre an the third floor, on March 9, 1994 to assist in your review and comment on this program. If you would like further information about this proposal, please contact either Kerri Voumvakis, Principal Planner at 396-7033 or Bill Kiru, Planner at 396-7014. It is intended that Planning Committee will consider the final Staff Recommendations on this program on April 18, 1994 and Council on May 12, 1994.

The University of Toron- to's Scarborough Campus will host an event that would have been un- thinkable prior to that historic moment. Two pro- minent diplomats will share this year's Watts Lecture: Israel's Am- bassador to Canada, Mr. It- zhak Shelef, and the Am- bassador of Palestine in Greece ( where Palestine has diplomatic status), Mr. Abdullah Abdullah. The title of the Watts lec- ture is "The Politics of Reconciliation". The event will be held on Wed. Mar. 9th at 7:30 p.m. in the Meeting Place at U of T's Scarborough Campus, 1265 Military Trail. Admission is free. trustees, and members of the general public will also learn how some schools are dealing with the issue and discuss related subjects, such as programs for suspended and expelled students. Members of the public may register to attend the summit by calling 14800-463-7570. Registration will be on a first come, first served basis. "We need to hear the views and concerns of a wide cross section of peo- ple," said Mr. Cooke. "And we want to hear what they have to say. The most ef- festive solutions to this pro- blem will be found by work- ing with all our partners in- side and outside the school system. That's what this Community Summit is all about." The Community Summit was one of the violence -free schools initiatives an- nounced in November 1993, by Mr. Cooke. The summit is being co-sponsored by the ministries of the At- torney General, the Solicitor -General. Correc- tional Services, and Com- munity and Social Ser- vices. the Ontario Provin- cial Police, and the Safe h I �t J t•. �r`�� .t EtibAS School Task Force. Stuart Auty, Chairman of the Safe School Task Force, sees the summit as building on the work of the Task Force for a much- needed consolidation of partnerships. "We can't depend on someone else to do it for us," he said. "I see this as a turning point in Ontario. With the full sup- port of the Ministry of Education and Training, safer schools will be created through a con- certed effort on the part of parents, students, prin- cipals, the police and the community at large." 1 Come and visit our OPEN KITCHEN You can choose from a large selection of FRESH Fish, Lamb Baby Goat, Vegetables, Homebaked Bread, and much, much more!

These ame^cmer:s _. never been consolidated into a single document. The Officiai Piar, a so contains two different sets of Residential designations. These two situations make the Official Plan difficult to read, understand and interpret In recognition of these problems and as part of Council's commitment to simplify the planning process and make it more accessible to the public, Council authorized staff to consolidate the Community Secondary Plans. It is important to note that the content of existing policies will not be changed as a part of this program with the exception that staff propose to redesignate certain public facilities, such as schools, to a designation which accurately reflects their use. Council also authorized staff to apply one consistent set of residential designations to the City's communities. The significant impact of this component of the program is that Community Secondary Plans that presently do not contain maximum residential density provisions, will have density provisions applied. The Planning and Buildings Department will be holding two Open Houses to discuss these City initiated proposals. The Open Houses will be held on: Date Time Wednesday, March 9, 1994 4:30 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. Thursday, March 24, 1994 5:30 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. atthe Scarborough Civic Centre, Central Space, 150 Borough Drive, Scarborough. Your participation at the Open Houses is welcomed. Please plan to attend. Copies of the proposed consolidated Secondary Plans and Community Land Use Maps will be made available at the Open House meetings and at the Planning and Buildings Department Information Counter, located in the Civic Centre an the third floor, on March 9, 1994 to assist in your review and comment on this program. If you would like further information about this proposal, please contact either Kerri Voumvakis, Principal Planner at 396-7033 or Bill Kiru, Planner at 396-7014. It is intended that Planning Committee will consider the final Staff Recommendations on this program on April 18, 1994 and Council on May 12, 1994. A SCARBOROUGH Page 4 THE NEVI'S POST Wed.

Miss Saigon is being per- formed at the Princess of Wales theatre, and those arriving at the theatre can view the councillor's metro office, on the opposite side of King St. Hollander told Metro Council last Wednesday that he was responding to the concerns of some Metro residents, who find the play offensive in its portrayal of the war in Vietnam. Council was debating a recommendation to pro- hibit signs on or near win- dows of Metro Hall, where they could be seen from outside. Councillor Norm Gard- ner said the sign in Hollander's office was "the kind of thing that inflames passions. It can make peo- ple feel uncomfortable."

Toronto Camerata Has 4 Performances The Toronto Camerata, the city's only a cappella chamber choir, will offer four performances of "Cantate Domino': Six Centuries of Psalms" on the following dates: Fri. Mar. 4 at 8 p.m. at Church of St. Leonard, 25 Wanless Road just off Yonge St., Lawrence Subway: Sat. Mar. 5 at 8 p.m. at Trinity College Chapel. 6 Hoskin Ave. Museum Subway: Sat.

The concert offers a miniature course in music history by illustrating the varying styles of each musical period. Composers of the Renaissance (15th and 16th centuries) conceived of music in terms of melodic lines. Each phrase of the text was set to a musical idea which was then imitated in each voice part. Composers of the Baroque (17th and 18th centuries) thought of music both in terms of lines and in terms of chords. Frequently, as in the case of Schutz, they conceived of music in terms of the contrast of opposing forces, in this case, two different choirs. The Toronto Camerata specializes in performing unaccompanied choral music. The choir won a first prize in the 1993 Kiwanis Music Festival and participated in the 1993 International --. -Choral Festival. This fall, the Camerata sang for ArtsWeek and concluded 1993 with two performances at First Night Toronto. Tickets are available at the door: $10 adults, or $7 for seniors and students.

Start by establishing a pre -game routine: - set an arrival time which allows players enough time to get dressed and socialize with teammates - depending on the age and skill level of your players, allot sufficient time for your pre -game talk - allow players 5- 10 minutes of quiet preparation time right before they go on the ice When preparing your pre -game talk, consider the following: ' - seek input from your assistant coaches and players and use notes for reference - keep it brief outline 2 or 3 key points which your players must remember to be successful against your opponents and use the chalkboard for visual explanations - encourage players to remain poslnve with each other, especially when a teammate makes a mistake - remind players to have fun, play fair and remember that it's only a game After the game, confer with vour assistants and collect your thoughts before addressing the players. Thank the players for their effort, give them positive feedback on what was done well and areas for improvement, and ask for their input.

March 2, 1941 Bill Watt's Worlds ON POINT: Onegin Was the final ballet of the National's 93,44 Winter engagement at The O'Keefe. It seemed all of a piece that our atten- dance was on a wintry evening given that the emo- tions of the work, while not unremittingly melancholy, are certainly not those of summer. Autumn perhaps. It has been written that in English love stories, two people initially dislike each other but fall in love at the end. In those of the French, they love passionately and immediately• then end up hating each other. In Rus- sian romances they dislike each other initially and All do at the end. Pushkin's Onegin is not quite like that but the title character does initially dismiss the woman who loves him only to be dismissed by her when he realizes what he has thrown away. Why this overlong preamble to a review of the ballet based on his nar- rative poem' Only to make the point that it's true to the spirit of it but it wouldn't matter if it didn't. What truly matters is the magical music of Tchaikowsky, superb set design and costuming by Jurgen Rose, masterly choreography by John Cranko and the dancing of same by a company touch- ed by the greatness of the work. Raymond Smith danced the title role. If he were on the legitimate stage or in motion pictures, he'd likely never be awarded a Tony or an Oscar. That's not because he wouldn't deserve them but simply because he's so good that one is inclined not to notice his very real artistry... as in Onegjn. With his honest Highland face and all, he becomes the saturnine, suffering and ultimately insufferable Onegin. A brilliant piece of acting. And, his dancing' It's strong - astonishing strength moves - vet fram- ed in the almost delicacy of a lithe body. In his steamy dance with Yseult Lendvai, he is all sex. In his almost equally so dances with Chan Hon Goh, the sex is supposedly hidden but there none the less. Rarely has one seen the character of Onegin so vividly por- trayed. As Tatiana, the woman who falls in love with him, Yseult Lendvai poignantly traverses from adolescent young dreamer to mature matron in love with and loved by a real man, her husband. Yet, her memories of Onegin, as ex- pressed in dance are well nigh erotic. Chan Hon Goh as Olga her younger sister is pro- perly coltish but in her brief dances with Onegin evokes erotic instincts. Young Robert Tewsley was a last minute replace- ment for Jeremy Ransom as Lensky, the poet in love with Olga and killed by Onegin. To the obvious ad- vantage of his own youthfulness there is added the dancing skills not often vouchsafed to one so young. Excellent perfor- mance. Onegin. a wonderful en- ding for a good season. Well done, '.National. ON ICE: Time was when there were only two ice shows that played Toronto. They were both presented by Shipstad and Johnson and were• called respectively Ice Follies and Ice Capades. (Donna Atwood was married to one of the producers and was the featured skater in one of the shows. She was also and arguably our first love ). Times change, there are now any number of ice shows and the Ice Capades had fallen upon lean finan- cial times but things are looking up. Former Olympic and World Champion skater Dorothy Hamill is now a major shareholder as well as star skater. Tonight, at Maple Leaf Gardens she unveils The Ice Capades Cinderalla, Around and About Your Dining &Entertainment Guide Frozen In Time. It's a book show as oppos- ed to the revues of previous years but still filled with spectacle. There are 90 skaters in the company - better than half are Cana- dian - and the ice floor of the venerable Gardens will be a riot of swirling colour, motion and romance. The show runs only until Mar. 6th and is well worth attendance. Wholesome family shows are regret- tably too rare these days and this one shouldn't be missed. DINNER THEATRE: In the world of the theatre one is never wished good luck. The proper benediction is "Break a leg"'. This is the hook, not premise, of Breaking Legs, a comedy now playing at Stage West Theatre Restaurant. Lou Graziano is the Italian owner of a restaurant. His daughter, a thirty something (we're not talking bust sine here) is unmarried and he wants grandchildren. She is rather strong for an in- tellectual professor of English who has hist writ- ten a play but is seeking seed money. Lou brings two of his mafiosos buddies into the enterprise. Predictably, they have opinions about the play and are accustom- ed to breaking legs to have their own way. One supposes there are some who will find the work insulting to Italians but they'll be in the minot - ty. One of the more endear- ing qualities of Italmns is their ability to laugh at themselves and the false perception of them as endemic law breakers, jaw breakers and ... leg breakers.

PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND. IX83 — Did the explorer Marco Polo ever visit the C a%endtsh coast of Prince Edward Island! The question is fanciful. although the residents of the red sand beach -front mas have spread such a rumour at the turn of the century. The only "Marco Polo" known to have landed at Prince Edward Lland is a three - masted. three -deck sailing vessel that ran aground within sight of land on the morning of July 25, 18213. The Mcurc•c) Polo was built at Saint John. New Brunswick in 1951 and. in her day. she was known as the fastest merchant ship in the world. The 56 metre. 1.475 tonne ship resembled a cross between a cargo ship and a yacht. One observer suggested she carried in the ehbing tide. Nj%al experts speculate that the mud may ha%e reshaped her hull in some way, which could account for her legendary speed. Once she had been dug out. the .War((p Polo crossed the Atlantic in just 16da�s. The Black Ball Line of Australia bought the clip- per and refitted her as a luxury passenger vessel. On her first voyage from Liverpool to Australia she accomplished a record outward run of 68 days acid round trip record of five months and 21 days. For a decade, the Marco Polo maintained a distinguished career. Then, in 1861, she hit an iceberg on the homeward journey and had to limp to the Chilean port of Val- paraiso for repairs. By 1867, the once proud Marco Polo) had become a tramp trans- port under the Norwegian flag. Her final cargo was a Iciad of pine lumber. There are divided opinions about the cause of the wreck of the Marco Pole. Insurance fraud was contended. since the ship was in unprofitably poor repair.

The arrival of the wreck's 20 crew member — a colourful lot of Irish. English. Scots, Spaniards. Dutch. Germans and Tahitians — created quite a stir in Cavendish.

But the stories collected in "The Literary Ghost" are not your traditional old campfire tales: these are distinguished and ac- complished contemporary short stories in which ghosts are used as subjects for the highest and purest literary aims.

The literary ghost story can be frightening• engrossing. clever, ironic, mysterious, funny - any or all of these - but at its best, it can also be immensely satisfying to our mortal souls and their yearning for completion.'.
