Study Need For French School Trustees of the Durham Board of Education have asked staff to conduct a study into the possible establishment of a French language school and daycare centre for children of francophone public school ratepayers in Durham Region. The Education Act makes pro- vision for children of fran- cophone parents to receive instruction in the French language. At its regular meeting of Nov. 8. 1993, the board received a report from its French Language Advisory Committee, the body which represents Durham's fran- cophone public school sup- porters. The report sug- gested a study be con- ducted and a survey be sent to the 3,800 francophone public school ratepayers in Durham. The survey, sent in mid February, asks about the numbers of school-age or pre-school children and whether or not these children would be enrolled in a French language public elementary school if one was established in This Space i Could Be Yours For 11 PER WEEK i Durham. If the results of the storey indicate sufficient interest, the board may continue to study the issue by looking into factors like accommodation, costs, and organization and gover- nance of a French first language program. The Durham Board of Education presently does not offer instruction in French as a first language. It provides this service through the Durham Separate Board and the Metropolitan Toronto French Language School Council. Fewer than so students are enrolled in the program at the present time. For further information, contact Casey Daleman, Superintendent of Educa- tion French Language at 66155-2500.

It was noted that any changes must be communicated to the municipal clerks by March 15, 1994. The primary determina- tion of Durham Board trustees under the Educa- tion Act is 19. Prior to the last election, the primary determination was 18. Two trustees were added to this number in order to designate an additional trustee for each of Oshawa and the Township of Scugog. a love population municipality. The board decided to reduce its numbers by a total of 5 trustees, 4 less than ane primary deter- mination. This would have allowed 5 trustees for Oshawa, 3 for Whitby. 2 for Ajax. 3 for Pickering and 2 for the combined Townships of Uxbridge. Brock and Scugog. A further motion to designate the 3 townships as low population municipalities, thus redistributing the member of trustees and increasing from 2 to 3 trustees in the north and reducing one trustee in Whitby, was passed- ThisP- This resulted in a final distribution as follows: Oshawa 5. Whitby 2. Ajax t Pickering 3, Uxbridge 1, Scugog 1 and Brock 1.

March 2:1. 1991 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Canadian First! by Bob Watson There seems to be a trail of highlighting the ethnic cultural features of newcomers to our glorious land these days - and very little emphasis on becoming a Canadian' Back in the distant 30's and early 40's in the Toronto area it was a triple division of people into English. Scottish and Irish background. Then we went to World War 11 and prov- ed that Canadian forces were among the best in the world. In 1947 Prime Minister Louis St. Laurent brought in the act proclaiming our nationality - being Canadian for the very first time' Being Canadian was a great feeling for a few years till the immigration wave hit :Metro Toronto when thousands of people from every part of the world came to live here. The British background disappeared and first the Liberals and then the Conservatives began to dish out tax dollars by the millions to these new groups to help them preserve their culture and background. But no emphasis was placed on Canadianism - and still gets no backup from our federal government. We believe it is time in this glorious land to have more emphasis in every direction on the high value of being a Canadian - regardless of your past ancestry. Vi'e'd like to see the Indian people also become real Canadians and join urs in this great adventure for our country. Letter To The Editor About Bill 79 Dear Editor: Your comments on Employment Equity Bill 79 need a response. When times are tough, history has shown that there's a tendency for people to perceive as a threat any action that affects the status quo I have confidence. however. in our community I believe that we are progressive enough to understand that changes in attitudes must conte, albeit slowly and with some perhaps difficult transitions. You say that women are 52ait of the population and are thus not a minority. The phrase "minority" refers to the fact that women are still grossly under -represented in the workforce: or. they find it vers difficult to move into senior or executive positions and into a broad range of occupations The same is true fnr the other "desimmted croups- - aboriginal people, people with disabilities and mem hers of racial minorities You refer to the positive measures implemented in the Ontario Public Service designed to overcome the effects of hamem to employment for the designated groups These measures are recognized in the Ontano Human Rights Code and the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms The positive measures and many more initiatives are already being used in workplaces across Ontario Bill 79 will help ensure such programs will he implemented in every workforce where they are needed Employment equity will have a positive effect on economic renewal in Ontario by tapping sources of ability and talent that have been held in check b_v disenmination.

Federal bureaucrats. facing the end of the government's fis- cal year. go into a spending frenzy to use up whatever re- mains of their yearly budget. If they were to show a surplus by year's end their budget might be reduced next year. This waste of tax dollars is tirade even worse because the country faces a very real debt crisis driven by over -spending The problem is not that bu- reaucrats are inherently bad people They are merely re- sponding to the wrong incen- tives built into the system Sen- ior bureaucrats are pad accord- ing to the size of their budgets and how many bureaucrats work for them h we want different result. fie incentives in the system must be changed. Fortunately, there is a proven method for acoorn- plishing this It can be accomplished by transforming government func- tions into serrlr-autonomous units These urns are told in detail what their jobs are, green a ixad budget and told to gat on with their jobs. Thar CEOs re- port directly to a minister. not though a smilharing blanket of bureaucracy Toencouragelheeffi ientuse of Ifwr budgets. the units are allowed to keep as bonuses hall Federal Bureaucracy Needs Reform of any savings which they may achieve through their operations. The other halt will be returned to the government In other words. these units operate with buitl-in incentives much like pnvate companies per- formin g government work under contract. A price and perfam- ance standard would be set and it would be up to each unit to innovate and decide tow best to perform the agreed upon work. This method to improve bu- seaucratic efficiency has already been successfully introduced in the United Kingdom, where ' Ihese civilservice units are called agencies. There are now about 90 such agencies operating in Bntwn and they employ about half of the British civil service By the end of the decade. It Is expected that a full 75 percent of the civil serv- ice will be moved Into agencies. To date the record of these agencies has been Impressive Indeed. a study found that of the 26 financial performance targets the government set. 20 had been met or bettered Of 38 efficiency targets. 28 had been met or bet - tared Canariian uvd servants could match this record of achw4e- mentloo It'stimeourpoliticians gave them a chance and were they to do so. taxpayers would be the winners (David SorrtwwN rs Pretrdarrr of The wnunr Gnrans' co wrwL) Metro Council News from Ken Morrish CoundYor Scarborough Highland Creek The -Ken Morrish Environment Day" will be held on May 7. in the parking lot on the south-east corner of Morrish Road and Olid Kingston Road, from 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. This year's event will include composters for $15. free compost for your gardens. a drop off for up to five rubber tires per household and Metro's "Toxics Taxi" to collect any hazardous waste like paint. batteries. pesticides, motor oils etc. that you wish to dispose of.

Pay A tten tion To Politics New Automobile Insurance Rate Index Released A new index which tracks fluctuations in auto in- surance rates in Ontario has been released by the Ontario Insurance Com- mission. The index is the first step in making more information accessible to the public about auto in- surance. "Enquiries to our con- sumer information phone lines show that generally, drivers don't understand what factors determine the cost of their policies," said Blair Tully, Ontario Com- missioner of Insurance. "We are starting to provide materials which will help drivers become more aware of auto insurance pricing. " The Ontario Automobile Insurance Rate Index t OAII 1 measures the fluc- tuations in Ontario's auto insurance premiums over a six year period. The data is shown in relation to both the Consumer Price Index CPI) and Canada -wide auto insurance casts. Between the end of 1987 and the end of 10-M. Ontario rates rose by 24 percent with an average annual in- crease of 3.7 percent. Statistics on Canada -wide premiums are double On- tario's. rising by almost 50 percent in the same period. Between 1991 and 1992, auto insurance rates in On- tario actually declined by approximately 2.9 percent. This was due to pressure applied to the industry by the provincial government and also to reduced claims resulting from the reces- sion and lower than ex- pected costs associated with no-fault insurance. In 1993 insurance rates began to rise again (by about 6.7 percent) as claims costs increased and the industry moved to maintain profit levels. The Ontario government has taken steps to ensure long term cost stability while enhancing coverage for seriously injured acci- dent victims through Bill 164. It came into effect on Jan. 1, 1994. The Ontario Insurance Commission has allowed for a rate increase of up to five percent to cover the casts associated with im- plementing the changes. The impact of these in- creases has been factored into the index. Tbe Ontario Insurance Commission will continue to monitor rates and up- date the index quarterly. Other materials will also be developed for public release. Information about the way companies price their coverages when rate changes have been approv- ed and how rates compare between companies will help simplify what often is a complicated subject. "Know•Iedgeablle choices are made through better understanding and com- parison of coverages and price structures." said Mr. Tully. "If drivers feel their premiums are too high, thev should ask their in- surance companies inform- ed questions and receive straightforward answers." Car Maintenance And Repairs Rise By 5% Car maintenance and repair costs rose by just five dollars between 1992 and 1993. according the the 3.6 million member. not-for-profit Canadian Automobile Association. A survey says it cost an average of $561 for mechanical auto repairs and maintenance, according to 27.788 motorists who responded to CAA's annual Vehicle Durabilitv Survey in 1993. Responding to the same question in 1992, motorists reported an annual cost of %%. The year over year increase is seven tenths of a percent. In previous years, maintenance and repair costs have risen at a much higher rate: by 12% between 1991 and 1992, by 8.5% between 1990 and 1991, and by 10.5% between 1989 and 19911 Possible explanations for the low maintenance and repair cast increase reported in the 19903 survey include a low inflation rate generally, no adjustment for GST as in previous years, a depressed economy leading to lower consumer spending and a more competitive survival environment within the vehicle aftermarket service industry. "The stabilization of aftermarket service prices is good news for motorists," said CAA President Michael McNeil. "This is particularly true in light of the fact that more people are buying used cars and others are holding on to their vehicles longer." Detailed survey results appear in CAA's Autopinion '94 Annual car buying guide, plus specifications and colour photos of all 1994 cars and light trucks and comprehensive information on older models for the used car buver. This publication is highly recommended for anyone considering buying a new car or used vehicle, and it is a valuable source of information for all Canadians who own or drive cars. It is available at CAA Club Offices and nevus stands across Canada. Give A Gift That Lasts All Year!

March 23, 1994 THE NEWSIPOST Page 5 Sheppard E. & Eglinton To York Rapid Transit Lines Approved The last vote is in, and Metro Council has set the operating and capital budgets for 1994 with no in- crease in Metro's share of the property tax. Continu- ing the judicious cost cut- ting that began three years ago, council approved a plan that allows construc- tion to begin on two rapid transit lines: the Sheppard 4ine to Don Mills and the Eglinton Ave. line to York Civic Centre. The cost for these two lines is $1.9 billion; Metro's share is $475 million. In 1994, the cost of f inanc- ing these approved rapid transit lines is to be paid for from within the TTC budget if other financing sources are not available. No increase to the Metro budget has been recom- mended for this year. The Chief Administrative Of- ficer and the ITC will report on an affordable an- nual cash flow which will be reviewed regularly. The TPC is required to keep construction within this af- fordable cash flow. The two lines were chosen because they would create new development corridors in Metro Toronto and would most increase accessibility of the rapid transit network. Construc- tion of these two subway lines is expected to create 38,000 jobs, as well as fur- ther spinoff jobs. En- vironmental assessment Celebrate Holiday Season With Easter Plants The Civic Garden Centre, 777 Lawrence Ave. E., North York, can help with your holiday plans for Easter. Brighten your home for spring with breathtaking hydrangea, exquisite azaleas and elegant Easter lilies. These plants will be available at the Centre's Easter Plant Sale on Sat. Mar. 26 and Sun. Mar. 27th noon to 4 p.m. The hydrangea have five or more blooms and come in pink, blue or white. Easter lilies can provide a sophisticated touch to your home. Azaleas are a beautiful gift to give or to receive. All of these plants forecast Spring and last much longer than the tradi- tional Easter chocolate. The plants will be attrac- tively wrapped and cone complete with easy care in- structions. The Civic Garden Centre is a non-profit organization dedicated to the promotion of gardening, horticulture and the floral arts. One of the methods the centre uses to raise funds is the sale of top quality plants. Not only is the public assured of quality, but the Plants are property wrap- ped to protect them from the harsh weather. During plant sales, the Civic Garden Centre's volunteers are on duty to assist and the hor- ticulturists and Master Gardeners are present to offer advice on plant care. The Civic Garden Centre provides many services to the public on an ongoing basis including free hor- ticultural advice, tours in Edwards Gardens, soil testing, one of Canada's largest horticultural libraries, special program- ming with a focus on gardening, courses and much, much more. To continue to offer these services, the centre must have public support. For further information call 397-1340. Toronto Birth Centre Gets Approval The announcement by the Ministry of Health that the Toronto Birth Centre ( TBC) is among the suc- cessful applicants to establish one of the pro- vince's first free-standing birth centres has been met with elation by its many members and supporters. '"This is a very satisfying culmination of over 15 years of volunteer effort to estalbish the principle. and see free-standing birth cen- tres realizid," said TBC president Wendy Sutton. We salute the government and all those who have re- mained committed to this concept for their vision and determination. We also want to congratulate our colleagues in St. Jacob's and Sudbury for their achievement, and we wekcomte those who were unsuccessful at this time in working with us as we establish what we expect will be the model for addi- tional centres in the future. „ The Toronto Birth Centre Community Diary (Continued from Page 4) TUES.

M2N 61-0. reports on the four rapid transit expansion program lines have already been sent to the province for ap- proval. While supporting in prin- ciple all four lines which were included in the original rapid transit ex- pansion program and also preliminary design and property acquisition work on the western extension of the Bloor line, council is concerned about the level of debt that Metro can af- ford. While council approved immediate construction of two lines, design work on the remaining lines will continue - the Spadina line to York University and the Scarborough rapid transit line extension. Council plans to explore private sector funding for all rapid transit lines and other in- frastructure projects. Concern over the impact of current provincial assessment and tax policies on the commercial and industrial sector in (Metro Toronto prompted council to request that the province appoint an in- dependent Commission of Enquiry on Finance. The commission would consult with, among others, representatives of the Board of Trade: the Cana- dian Bankers' Association: leading economists: treasurers of Metro, area municipalities and sur- rounding regions. The pur- pose is to set guidelines for taxes and provincial transfer payments that en- sure that Metro Toronto re- mairts economically com- petitive. On Wed. Mar. 9. Metro Council approved full par- ticipation in the Federal Provin- cial Municipal ( FPM) in- frastructure program, in- cluding the National Trade Centre at Exhibition Place. However, if conditional and unconditional grants from the province are not main- tained or increased during the life of the FPM, Metro may reconsider its par- ticipation in the program. Metro's share of the $244.8 million program is $81.6 million net. The trade centre alone is expected to create 2,250 construction jobs and close to 4,000 per- manent jobs. The remain- ing FPM projects will be prioritized and a report will go to management commit- tee on Apr. 12. To set the operating budget for 1994, councillors and staff overcame tremendous challenges. In spite of the continuing in- crease in the welfare caseload, decline in proper- ty assessment, the Social Contract and cuts to uncon- ditional grants in 1993, no increase in Metro's share of the property tax will be needed to cover Metro's ex- penditures in 1994. Residents can rely on Metro to provide services such as policing, pubic transit, homes for the aged, ambulance services, welfare assistance, solid waste disposal and water supply. Metro's gross operating expenditure for 1994 totals $3.75 billion. Communit services takes up $2.1 billion gross. a reflection of the high welfare caseload. Of the $3.15 billion budget, $1.16 billion will come from property tax revenue. This is the second year in a row that Metro's property taxes will not in- crease.

March 23, 1993 Metro Invites Everyone To Ethno-Racial & Aboriginal Week At Hall Metro invites the public to celebrate Ethno-Racial and Aboriginal Access Week, Mon. Mar. 21 until Sat. Mar. 26, by taking part in a variety of free ac- tivities at Metro Hall. Through presentations, performances, workshops, round -table discussions and information sessions, the event will bring together Metro Toronto residents, community groups and Metro staff to share their opinions and ex- periences on Metro govern- ment's efforts to improve access to services. "Although many ser- vices exist within Metropolitan Toronto, quite often there are fac- tors such as language dif- ferences or prejudices, that influence, or limit, the equality of access to them," says Mark Nakamura, director of Metro's Multhcultulral and Race Relations division. "Our goal at Metro is to en- sure a process of access, to meet the specific needs of the ethno-racial and Aboriginal communities." In August of 1990, Metro Council adopted a policy and strategy to ensure that members of diverse ethno- racial and Aboriginal com- munities have access to metropolitan sevices. The policy further commits Metro to action that will enable ethno-racial and Aboriginal communities to derive equal benefit from the services it provides. That same year, Metro Council also established a Council Action Committee to Combat Racism. The goal of this committee is to 'focus on eliminating racism within council's area of responsibility. "At Metro we believe that the ethno-racial and linguistic diversity of our community is a fundamen- tal source of social, cultural, and economic enrichment and strength," says Bev Salmon. Metro councillor and chairman of the Committee to Combat Racism. "We hope through Access Week, to increase public awareness of the Metro services that are available. as well as pro- vide a forum for ethno- racial and Aboriginal coet- munities to present their experiences on access and anti -racism issues... Highlights of the week's events include: Business and Economic Development Day Wed. Mar. 23. The objective of this day is to provide oppor- tunities for members of ethno-racial and Aboriginal communities to discuss issues relating to the growth and develop- ment of business within their communities. Through workshops and presentations, com- munities will identify and discuss barriers to doing business with Metro government. Also during the week ... Metro's Archives and Record Centre, located at 255 Spadina, will feature "The New Urban Savage", a collection of photographs by Michael Chambers, a well - respected photographer in the black community. The centre will also feature "Magic Assembling", a photo ex- hibit jointly staged by the Multicultural History Society of Ontario and Metro Toronto Archives.

A chocolate bonnet for Easter 5 � Cocoa Easter Bunnet C ake -in your Easter bonnet, with all the frills upon it, you'll be the grandest lady in the Easter parade." This memorable Irving Berlin song, from the 1921 broad - way show "As Thousands Cheer", brings back fond memories of simpler times. Although in the hectic 90s most communities have foregone an official parade, Easter continues to be a special time for families and friends to gather, whether at a home-made brunch or for a family dinner. A favorite element of any Easter gathering is dessert. and no other flavor has the broad appeal of chocolate. This Cocoa Easter Bonnet Cake from the Fry's Test Kitchen is a unique, beauti- ful accent to any Easter table. and with its decadent chocolatey taste, is sure to become an annual family favorite. Basic ingredients have been blended together with Dutch -processed cocoa, which gives the cake its rich chocolate flavor. The shape of the cake has been crafted using pans that are easy to find - a round pizza pan, and a stainless steel mixing bowl. Once cooled. the cake baked in the bowl is placed on top of the pizza pan cake, which acts as the brim of the hat. Smooth Cocoa Icing is then spread over the entire bonnet. As a special treat, the kids in the family can help to decorate the bonnet cake, and edible flowers and matching ribbon add a touch of spring. Flowers fresh from the garden or grown without insecticides are best, and should he rinsed briefly in cool water and stored in the refrigerator until the cake is almost ready to serve. Flowers to try include carnations, chrysanthemums, freesia, gladiolus. baby's breath. marigolds. pansies, sweet peas and roses. If wary of flowers, try candy or berries in different shapes and sizes - from licorice ribbons to coated chocolate candies, raspberries to apple slices. Regardless of decorative style, this delicious choco- late Easter treat is certain to warm the hearts of all your guests.

The report was a response to allegations of undue restrictive and discriminatory enforce- ment of the T.P.A. against � .,W . s E 11 1, I Al youth and minorities by owners of publicly -used property, including proper- ty malls.

Or they need not give a reason, but a spoken or written request to leave must still be obeyed. A person who does not leave immediately on request, may be fined up to $1,000 and arrested. The T.P.A. differs from most law, in that private citizens are themselves the judges who decide what is or is not acceptable con- duct, and there is no clear right of appeal. A shopping mall owner may bar anyone from his property for an indeterminate period, and he does not have to justify his actions. "This virtually absolute discretion is seriously out - of -step... in contemporary Ontario society," the task force states. Many urban areas have developed without public spaces anq social facilities. Young people have no place to "hang out", to meet, converse. "see and be seen". Shopping malls. "for good commercial reasons", have filled the gap, says the report. Owner -groups say the T.P.A. is enforced when misbehavior disrupts the activities of publicly -used property. However, young people and minority groups often feel that the law is used against them in a discriminatory way. Con- gregating in groups, or wearing clothes that sug- gest an "alternative life style", often leads to ten- sion with security guards. If police are called, they are perceived as taking sides, or following the bid- ding of property owners. The task force points out that there is nothing in the T.P.A. that requires securi- ty guards to have training in human rights, multiculturalism or tolerance of varying lifestyles. As a minimum, the report recommends the authority of owners be reduced by providing a definition of misconduct which would be sufficient to justify an exclusion from publicly -used property. The report further sug- gests that the right to ban a visitor from publicly -used property should be abolish- ed, pointing out that bail or Probation orders can be us- ed to keep a defendant from returning to --the scene of the crime Lola Are you looking for a Good Time? can 1-976.1395 $10 CITY OF SCARBOROUGH City of Scarborough Scarborough Works & Environment Department Easter Refuse, Blue Box & Yard Waste Collection Schedule Refuse and Blue Box collections scheduled for GOOD FRIDAY, APRIL 1, 1994 .v ll take nuke on WEDNESDAY, MARCH 30, 1994 Refur? and Blue Box co!lection­Sched,:lFd f^r EASTER MONDAY, APRIL 4.1994,:+ take place on WEDNESDAY.

Society Warns About Spring Thaw The Royal Life Saving Society Canada (RLSSC) is urging parents and teachers to keep children away from rivers and streams during the spring thaw. The society is also warn- ing the province's snowmobile and ice fishing enthusiasts to exercise ex- treme caution over the next few weeks as Ontario's lakes, rivets, streams and creeks continue to melt and swell after months of cold weather and heavy snowfalls. Dozens of Ontario residents die this time of the year by falling into fast moving rivers or through thin ice. Rescue is often im- possible because victims are swept away so quickly by the cold currents, said RLSSC public education director Ed Bean. In 1991, the latest year for which complete .statistics are available, 23 people died in water - related accidents during the months of March and April in Ontario. "This is an extremely dangcrous time of the year to be near open bodies of water," Bean said. "Children are especially vulnerable because they're attracted to water. Don't leave them unattended even for a moment if you happen to be near water. " Drowning is the third leading cause of accidental death in Ontario, claiming 216 lives in 1991. Statistics show that 15 Ontario children under the age of 12 who were simply walking or playing near water died in drowning accidents in 1991, Bean said. The Royal Life Saving Society is a national, charitable orgnaization dedicated to preventing drownings through lifeguard and lifesaving training, public education, research and advocacy. Last year in Ontario more than 90,000 people enrolled in the society's lifesaving and lifeguarding courses. Help Celebrate Red Cross Month Help celebrate Red Cross Month by attending a blood donor clinic to give the gift of life. In Central Ontario, more than No donors are needed each weekday for the Red Cross to meet re- quirements of 61 hospitals it serves in the region. Blood is needed to help accident and burr victims, transplant recipients, cancer and leukemia pa- tients, people with life- threatening blood disorders and patients undergoing major surgery. In fact, six out of ten Cana- dians will require blood or blood products in their lifetime. Canada's first blood donor clinic was held in 194o to help Canadian forces fighting in the Se- cond World War. Since then, the blood program has grown enormously in size and scope. There are now 17 Mood centres across Canada collecting, testing, processing and distributing blood and blood products to over 900 hospitals. Blood is separated into various components. so one doria- tion can help save several lives. Despite many developments, the goal of the Red Cross Blood Pro- gram remains the same: to provide a safe and suffi- cient blood supply for all Canadians. To this end, the Red Cross holds 10,000 clinics a year in Canada - 1,700 in Central Ontario alone - and tests every donated taut for a number of blood-borne diseases like AIDS and hepatitis. These tests, along with health assessment at clinics, have helped make the Canadian blood supply one of the safest in the world. Healthy individuals age 17 to 70 are encouraged to share their good health and be blood doctors during Red Cross Month. There are three fixed clinic locations in downtown Toronto - Manulife Centre, Royal Bank Ptaza and the new Toronto Blood Centre at historic 67 College Street. For more information on these and other clinics. call 974-%M or a local branch of the Red Cross. Donors are reminded to bring iden- tification with theta. Message Of Hope For World Two internationally known itinerant ministers will be holding special ser- vices from Palm Sunday, Mar. 27 to Easter Sunday, Apr. 3 at Churchill Heights Baptist Church, a fast growing evangelical con- gregation in East Scar- borough. "Dr. Barry Moore and Rev. Bernie Smith, although good friends have never worked together before," said John Mahaf- fey, senior pastor at Chur- chill Heights, "but they are both excited that together they can share the message of God's love. " Moore, of London. Ont. who has accepted invita- tions to visit some of the world's ..hot spots" will be the main speaker at the meetings. He has recently returned from war-torn Bosnia and Croatia. Besides his ministry of Bible preaching. he visited many Bosnian refugees, listening and hearing first- hand the atrocities of this war and the plight of those who have fled their homeland. Bernie Smith, who will lead the chair and con- gregational singing was first given the opportunity to lead a chair back in 1958. He soon became hooked on what would develop into a life long passion for choral music. The Calgary based minister confessed. "I just love good harmonty'.. As for the sound that choirs pro- duce under Smith's leader- ship. he calls it. "bad, bad. bad' -in the best sense of the word." In commenting on the reason why Moore and Smith were invited to hold these upcoming meetings Mahaffey said, "our con- gregation cares about the community and its needs and we felt strongly that these two men would be the best in communicating a message of hope during the Easter season". The meetings are open to the public and child care is available at all services. For further information call 416-281-1138.

To celebrate, there are many special attractions in the offing for this year but the most spectacular will surely be Sail Toronto 1994. From June 29th until Ju- ly 4th, over 25 majestic sailing ships - the largest gathering of sailing ships on the Great Lakes since the war of 1812 - will anchor in Toronto Harbour for a six day festival. On June 29th there will be the Sail Past, a procession of the ships from their an- chorage in Humber Bay to Harbourfront Centre. A formal salute will be given to the captains and crew as thev enter the western end of the harbour. For those who wish to board and inspect the ships, a limited number of boarding passes will be available at selected outlets throughout the city. They'll cost only $5 and will enable one person to board and enjoy each and all of the ships. The finale to all of the events will be noon of July 4th when the ships sail out together for rendezvous in Wier Great Lakes ports and other festivals. There are a number of corporate sponsors and all deserve the gratitude of the public for their participa- tion. It seems odd though that the Captain '.Morgan rum people are not among them.

CBC morning radio featured mostly light music from Britain. Your correspondent recalls sleepily listening over breakfast to seeming endless repetitions of The Dollar Princess played by Harry Horlick's orchestra. As years passed, we glean- ed that it was the title song from an operetta but the meaning of the title eluded us. We now have the answer after reading In A Gilded Cage From Heiress to Duchess by Marian Fowler (Random House of Canada) . It's an allusion to the practice roughly between 1870 and the beginning of the Great War of American :heiresses literally having their way purchased into the British aristocracy. (Winston Churchill's mother was a notable ex- ample though she was rather more a' adven- turess, albeit a charming one. much in the mould of the later Wallis Simpson). Five of them are biographed in this charm- ing, though sometimes feminist. work. Of them we have personal memory of Consuelo Vanderbilt, the most beautiful of all. Readers who recall the late actress Kay Kendall can picture her. Anvw•av, the book does considerably more than detail their lives. It also vividly describes a time we are not likely to experience again: a time when for- tunes could be made from nothing and used to buy a way into an aristocratic society sustained by little more than barnyard breeding of the privileged. It was a time often there was virtually no middle class. only the haves and have nots. The haves were given over to little more than the pleasures of clothing. the dining room and the boudoir. The dollar princesses, though born to wealth and schooled in Europe, never quite came to terms with their lot. Many found their way into helping the un- privileged: some merely murmured merde and went to to enjoy the pleasures of wealth as well as they could away from their native land. Ms. Fowler has done her research well and presented it in a manner at once erudite and witty. There are a goodly number Around and About Your Dining &Entertainment Guide of photographs as well in- cluding the one of Consuelo Vanderbilt that we carried in our wallet when very young.

One of the causes, we sug- gest, is the prevalence of families where both parents seem to think it necessary to work for what are perceived as necessities but which are, in fact, creature comforts to be assessed by their fellows. Within the memory of many reading this, Father went to his occupation in the morning and Mother staved at home with her's; keeping house and. most important, raising the children. Offspring were raised in a gentle atmosphere and, as a result, rarely ex- hibited public accesses of temperament other than the normal high sprits of youth. Indeed, young boys were put out to sports as part of a tougherung pro- cess for survival, to be call- ed upon as and when necessary. We think it not simplistic to suggest that if there were more traditional two parent families, there might be less violence about FAST EXIT: Our apologies for the unusual brevity of The Col- umn but after this is delivered we're leaving for Sudbury to catch our oldest grandson in a hockey play- off game.

In fact, one of those prehistoric "Grandfatherti" bears the name of the province in which its mortal remains were discovered. It is called Albertosaurus and it was a close cousin to the most fearsome of all dinosaurs, the carnivorous Tyrannosaurus. Sci- entists estimate that Alber- tosaurus may have grown up to 9 metres long and weighed as much a two tonnes. The fossilized remains of Albertosaurus were discovered in 1884 by a young Canadian geol- ogist and explorer named Joseph Burr Tyrrell. At 25. he worked for the Canadian Geological Sur- vey. whose job it was Io map the vas territories of Canada in the last century. Tvrrell and his assistant were paddling their canoe between the steep hanks of the Red Deer River. south of Drumheller in southern Alherta. In the layers of ancient rock, the geologist found scams of coal. outcroppings of CR13 r one of the largest coal deposits in North America. On the morn- ing of June 9. I8X4. Tyrrell set off on his usual routine of exam- ining the river hanks when a peculiar brown substance sticking out from the valley wall caught his attention. He scaled the steep slope and, with mounting excitement, he began to clear away the dirt. Using his hare hands and his geologist's hammer, he gradually uncovered the first of many fos- silized Mme.. Dinosaur remains had been unearthed in Western Canada before. but as Tyrrell explored the Valley he recognized that nothing like this dinosaur graveyard had ever been found, One memo- rable day Tyrrell �) GTE kx_Ae i the ancient past directly in the face. Sixty- nine years later. at the age of 95. he recounted the dramatic confrontation. "I was climbing up a steep face about 4(10 feet (120 metres) high. I stuck my head around a point and there was this skull leering at me, sticking right out of the ground. It gave me a fright." Tyrrell had found the first skull of Albertosaurus.

To date. the skeletal remains of more than 475 dinosaurs have been recovered from the barren valley walls of the Red Deer River. Although the word dinosaur stems from Greek words meaning "terrible lizard" recent advances in technology have led scientists to speculate that unlike reptiles, the dinosaurs may have been warm- blooded creatures more closely linked to animals and birds than lizards and crocodiles. Dinosaur "nests," fossilized eggs and the remains of baby dinosaurs have furthered our understanding of the "communi- ty" of dinosaurs, and scientific examinations of ancient layers of rock may one day lead to a final understanding of why the dinosaurs disappeared. Today. the Royal Tyrrell Museum of Palaeontology in Dinosaur Provincial Park in Drumheller Alberta, pursues the work Joseph Burr Tyrrell started 109 years ago• when he took Albertosaurus' skull out of the hadlands on the back of a buck- board wagon and gave it to the world. design and a gazebo.

'March 23, 1994 THE NEWS POST Page 11 Eli Lilly Canada Helps Medical Trip To Caribbean Eli Lilly Canada Inc. has contributed $10,000 to fund travel costs of 10 Universi- ty of Toronto Family Medicine Residents to take a i month elective in Dominica, an island in the Caribbean. This unique medical outreach program was conceived and is being coordinated by the Depart- ment of Family Medicine at North York General Hospital. Dominica is one of the poorest countries in the hemisphere and has a serious shortage of trained medical professionals to provide primary care to its citizens. The impetus for the pro- gram came from Dr. Peter Newman, a member of the Hospital's Family Medicine Department and an Associate Professor in the Department of Family and Community Medicine at the University of Toron- to. Dr. Newman has prac- ticed in Dominica as a volunteer and recognized the benefits this arrange- ment would offer the island and the Family Practice Residents. While providing assistance to hard-pressed local doctors, the elective will expose the young physicians to medicine in an environment which is substantially different from what they will ex - perience in Canada. It is hoped that the outreach program will sensitize them to the problems of developing countries from both a medical and social point of view. "This is an outstanding learning experience for these young physicians and they will undoubtedly come home with a whole new perspective and set of values about our health care system," said Dr. Newman.

Modern Languages & Arts. Family Life and Work. and Global Education. Clear standards for stu- dent development in skills. knowledge and attitudes with defined outcomes. Student progress reports in terms of ability to reach defined achievement stan- dards. More detailed report cards for communicating with parents. Regular, structured op- portunities for remedial and enrichment help. Assisting all students to fill gaps in their knowledge and skills basis. 6'2fe and Orderly Learning Environmeat In this regard students will have opportunities to learn and practice non- violent conflict resolution guided by the new Student Code of Behaviours. and staff will implement new• security measures to in- crease the safety levels in the school. Race Relations In this area, two projects are udder way: a new com- mon concerns forum for direct and improved com- munication between students and the school ad- ministration. and staff training in all aspects of in- clusionary practices. Malvern Community Net- work This parent and com- munity organization is developing a community information service for young people in Malvern, and curriculum units on racial harmony and cooperation for use in the schools in the area. This combination of cur- riculum priorities makes Lester B. Pearson Col- legiate a very effective school, with a strong reputation for excellence. respect and safety, where students are preparing themselves for success in the next century. A Student -Centered School Lester B. Pearson C.I. is a student -centered school. The staff are committed to providing a well-rounded education which allows students the opportunity to develop the thinking, learn- ing, and employment skills needed for their future. To create a learning en- vironment which fosters and promotes these skills, the school encourages positive interpersonal rela- tionships based on mutual trust and responsibilities, as well as tolerance of in- dividual differences. Staff and students are invited to participate fully in both curricular and co - curricular activities as demonstrations of the staff's commitment to this school. The staff strives to motivate people to attain their potential through: cooperation, open com- munication, shared decision-making, clearly outlined expectations, fre- quent feedback and recognition of excellence. To achieve this vision the school considers the folliw- ing ten CORE values to be most important: Involvement. Participation and Commitment. Together they will deter- mine the direction of the school. its mission, goals and objectives, the nature of its programs and the overall climate. Involve- ment in both curricular and co -curricular activities fosters an awareness of mutual responsibility for the behaviour of others. Leadership The administration pro- vides clear direction by ar- ticulating and monitoring expectations of staff and students, by providing a supportive atmosphere for initiatives. and by keeping lines of communication open. Most importantly. the administration models these qualities and beha-iors. Rewards is Incentives The school encourages. recognizes and rewards ex- cellence. Student Focus Pearson C.1. exists solely to address students' in- dividual and group needs: emotional, intellectual, physical, psychological, and social. Trust Pearson believes that human beings are fun- damentally good and responsible. Vane Placed on People The school encourages the development of the potential of all individuals by ensuring they are cared for. listened to, and sup- ported. Communication Patterns Pearson is organized for open, effective com- munication. It encourages people to build their ex- perience and provides them with background in- formation in order to understand issues. A climate of trust and respect for communication en- courages listening, discus- sion and personal respon- sibility in solving pro- blems. Cooperation Pearson is considerate of the thoughts and feelings of others. The school com- munity works together to ensure effective planning and scheduling. Egalitarianism People are highly valued at Pearson regardless of age, creed, gender, posi- tion and or race.

East York Board Approves Its '94 Budget East York Trustees have approved a 1994 Budget that will meet the 1994 Target Mill Rate set at the 1993 rate (0%) increase by the Metropolitan Toronto School Board. The board's final net operating budget was set at $105.219.287. The implication for the East York Board. is an additional $3257.327 permanent reduction to the 19M level of The reduction continues a trend that began last year. In ISM. a $5o million reduction was absorbed by the Metro Boards. This year. the amount across Metro has doubled to $loo million. According to Director Eric Lewis. "Any reduction whether directly related to the classrooms or indirectly related such as system -wide programs or services provided centrally. will end up affecting students and learners. It is the intent of planned reductions to protect the students and learners in our day school and credit programs from the impact of system reductions due to financial restraints as much as possible." With the exception of contractual agreements, central budgets were developed on a flat line basis consistent with the 1993 requirements. Budget reductions include: the elimination of 104 staff positions over 3 years: development of a cost recovery fee structure for continuing education general interest courses and driver education due to no funding from the Metro Board as of Jan. 1. 1994: increased fee structure for seniors' programs. After 4 programs and Elementary Summer School: a reduction of central maintenance and equipment allocations: further redactions in external printing and aommuncations costs. a reduction to school supply budgets. and. a closer look at the 1994 strategic plara» ng initiatives. Since January 1993. the budget process has included meetings with the public and staff to seek input and provide information. Trustees have heard presentations from ratepayers and seniors groups, home and school associations, parents, students and staff. .1 -he budget Process has been brought to thepublic so that they may share in frank and open discussions regarding the future of education in East York,.. stated Board Chairman Connie Culbertson. "Tree board will continue to include the community and staff in future budget deliberations."
