These recommendations will now be submitted to the Minister for his considera- tion along with a request that he act upon them at the earliest opportunity," added McTeague. •'It is my view that the Pickering Airport Lands issue has gone on long enough.

They are predicting that the recession is nearly over. Well. the experts at Ottawa should be looking at how many companies have gone bankrupt resulting in thousands of commercial space going vacant. And nobody seems to realize that the "small business" community is in terrible financial shape and this group of businesses is con- sidered the "engine for the economy". We believe that analysts at Ottawa should get down to the small business community and find out the facts about our economy. A prosperous small business economy would guarantee that the whole country is in better economic shape The Turban Issue Public supporters of our Champ and Key Tag Program are confusing The War Amps with the Legion. Sadly we are being inundated with complaints stating that support will be withheld due to what is perceived to be a racist attitude among veterans. The War Amps does not operate clubrooms.

LLD Chief Executive Officer The War Amps Letter To The Editor About Quebec Separation I read with interest the letter against separation by Ralph Hancox in which he suggests that we should write spon- taneously to Quebecers imploring them to stay in Canada. It sounds like a good idea but it will, I think, be taken as a sign of weakness and an excuse for further demands. For years the Government of Canada has fallen over backwards to accommodate the people of Quebec but has never been able to satisfy them, even though they have been Riven. at least. their fair share of everything. It has never been enough' I fear it never will be enough. The P.Q. sailing along on cloud nine. has promised them the Garden of Eden with scarcely a word of contradiction from anyone.

The rest of Canada wants them to stay as a full and equal member of the family. .anyone who has raised a family knows that to give special privileges to any one child is to invite resentment from the rest. (Quebec should be told firmly the realities of separation, once they leave they will become a foreign country and the goodwill that does exist towards Quebec will largely disappear. Personally. I don't think they will ever leave: why should they' They know very well that there will be no one to whom they can turn for handouts once they have gone. A.M. McDowell 55 Livingston Rd.

DAVID SOMERVILLE Alberta Premier Ralph Klein is looking like a political miracle worker these days. Klein is still immensely popu- lar with Albertans despite his government's recent, tough aus- terity programme. How tough was it? In an effort to eliminate the province's 02.8 billion deficit. Kim has dramati- cally slashed 9-wnn enl spend- ing by 20 percent, privatized a whole host of government serv- ices and laid off thousands of public servants. No government sector has been spared Klein's axe. not even the traditional -sacred cows' of education and health care. Indeed. Klein has cut edu- cation spending. cut the number of school boards by about two Thirds by consolidating Mere. reduosd the number of hospital beds and slashed doctors' tees. As it war's nol enough.

N.York Volunteer Of The Year Veena Dutta is a well known social activist in the Western region of North York. She has helped many im- migrant women learn about their country in order to integrate more happily. She has been especially supportive of about 35 women who have been victims of Wife Assault. Four women were saved from committing suicide. These women are now in control of their lives as a result of Ms. Dutta's intervention. She has helped other women through the Inter - Community Department of Police, Women Shelter and legal assistance. Veena Dutta has helped many young northers with language problems to par- ticipate in parent teacher interviews and to take a more active role in their community. As a resource person for the South Asian con muni- ty, she has connected quite a few senior ladies with various multicultural groups• thereby reducing the pangs of isolation and adding new colours to their gds yam. Veena Dutta was respon- sible for establishing the "Elspeth Heyworth Centre for Women (North York) " which now provides all types of assistance to im- migrant women in the com- munity. And she has become a familiar face to almost all the social ser- vice providers in an effort to help the many women who seek her assistance. Veena Dutta takes a very human approach to the ma- jor problems of new im- migrant women and she is a source of inspiration to others.

Scarborough West Who Should Pay For Blue Box System? Our government has been discussing a more equitable cost-sharing arrangement for the Blue Box system since we were elected. The problem is that industry has been paying only 5 percent of the funding. Everyone recognizes industry needs to pay a greater share. As a result of discussions between the Ministry of En- vironment and Energy and the packaged goods industry, the industry has put forward a proposal that would see the industry eventually responsible for 2'3 of the cost of the system. The remaining one-third would be paid by municipalities. This proposal is called the Canadian In- dustry Packaging Stewardship Initiative (CIPSI). Public consultations across the province will be con- ducted jointly by the province and CIPSI. The proposal has been approved in principle by our government, subject to the results of the public review. If companies join CIPSI they'll pay a fee for the packag- ing they use. Fees would be based on weight and the cost of recycling various materials will be determined during a two year phase in period. Companies would have a financial incentive to reduce their packaging. If companies choose trot to join CIPSI, they would fall under a government regulation requiring they show they are cutting their waste by 50% and diverting it from landfill. Our objective is to reduce the amount of packaging waste going to landfill by 50% by the year 2000. We remain com- mitted to the 3R's of "reduce, reuse and recycle", and the Ministry is holding discussions with the soft drink industry to introduce the use of plastic refillables. Bluffs Erosion Funding Residents of the Sylvan Avenue area of the Scar- borough Bluffs have been experiencing continuing lass of their properties due to erosion. The past year has been particularly bad. After longstanding discus- sions with the Metropolitan Toronto and Region Con- servation Authority asking for construction to secure the Bluffs, a solution is in sight. The Ministry of Natural Resources has ap- proved a grant of $187,000 of the i375.000 erasion coo - trot project for 1994. The remaining 50% was ap- proved by Metropolitan Toronto earlier in the year. It's welcome news to the local residents and to Scar- borough East MPP Dr. Bob Frankford who spoke on their behalf in the Legislature and presented a petition. -It's gratifying to see that securing the Bluffs is a priority, to en- sure that we can continue to enjoy this important piece of natural heritage," said Dr. Frankford. Join Your Neighbours In Immigration Study Circles Have you ever asked yourself, "I know what I think about immigration, but why does my neighbour think differently?" Now there's an opportunity to learn about different points of view and what you have in common with other, as well as participate in a na- tional consultation on im- migration. Recently, the Minister for Citizenship and Immigra- tion, Sergio Marchi, an- nounced that consultations on a strategic framework for immigration are now moving into their public phase. An important part of this phase will be the study circles in which Canadians will discuss im- migration issues and pro- vide advice to the Minister. Four study circles are now being formed in the Metropolitan Toronto and Peel areas. These will be held at Yorkdale Secon- dary School on June 25th, City Adult Learning Centre on July 9th, Cedarbrae Col- legiate on July 16th, and Bur•nhamthorpe Collegiate on July 23rd. Those participating will be grouped into "circles" of 25 people and as many circles as possible will be formed. The study circles are open to everyone, but it is necessary to reserve before June 30th to receive information in advance. "Study circles offer Cana- dians a chance to do more than just talk about an issue. Using a study guide, people tackle a body of facts and weigh the pros and cons of policy choices. "Study circle participants are like neighbours who come together to figure out how best to handle their common concerns," Mar- chi said. The study circles are be- ing organized by a non- profit organization. The Democracy Education Net- work. If you would like to join a study circle you can register by calling 23fi-6789.

Summer Festival 1994 is now in progress in the Zuketman Amphitheatre of Earl Bales Park in North York. The current attrac- tion is the Skylight Theatre presentation of Strider. This is a play, with music, that has been translated from the original Russian and based on a short story by Tolstoy. The story line is a curious amalgam of The Ugly Duckling. Black Beauty. The Bar Sinister and Pilgrim's Progress. Strider is a piebald stallion. Initially dismissed as inconsequential because of his appearance. he is gelded and then becomes the favourite of a nobleman who admires his magnifi- cent stride and speed. Hard times occur. however, and Strider is passed from cruel owner to cruel owner until finally he is back or seems to be � at his birth place awaiting execution. Of course. Tolstoy would never have written anything as relatively sim- ple as an animal stony and Strider. the play. is an allegory of life's brevity and cruelty. It's a difficult play to do since humans imitating animals are disadvantag- ed. We're not as graceful as our animal friends and im- itations of them. while laudable in intent. are usually laughable. Skylight Theatre is faced additionally with the physical problems of presenting a play in the semi -round. outdoors. star- ting in the early evening. Stage movements must be carefully choreographed. there are the intermittent roars of jet aircraft overhead and the stage lighting must keep pace with the changes in natural light In the main, though. Strider succeeds. It's not a great play but director John Bourgeois has mar- shalled his cast well. John Dolan in the title role is suitably tragic a la Russe and Alan Jordan as his nobleman owner delivers an almost quintessential depiction of spoiled wealth. A kudo as well to Peggy Coffee for her three and morefemale depictions and to Peter VanWart for his three plus roles. One must also express pleasure in the sound of the orchestra and orchestra- tions under the direction of Allan Guttman. Strider continues until Aug. 9th and your custom is recommended. Admission is free but a modest dona- tion is suggested. When you L O N see Strider, you'll increase your donation. Warranted. In High Park. Canadian Stage Company is once again presenting The Dream and this year's play is a reprise of last year's Twelfth Night. It runs until Aug. 14th. Canadian Stage presents the same play two years running albeit with some difference in casts. It's an admirable cost sav- ing measure and one much to be applauded. Our review will follow shortly but here are a few advance cautionary words. Last year's presentation was without intermission. Should that be the case this year, don't pack too many liquids in your picnic hamper This Sunday. Mirvish Village will observe the Mh birthday of Honest Ed Mirvish with a day long street party. One of the things The Col- umn has observed over the years at three parties is that the people don't come to them simply for free food and gifts.

Show -Do -Man is also a Around and About Your Dining &Entertainment Guide treat to watch. this is a show band that's entertain- ing on stage and almost equally so on record. More about the latter in a later column. Feeding Like Butterflies is a Edmonton based band which we caught recently at a Queen. West club. The occasion was the local launch of its album John In His Earth Suit, (Planet Records). This band simply can't be classified musically. One reviewer has com- mented that it's like the Moody Blues on acid. Another describes it as acid Celtic. Still another allows that it's a hybrid of punk rock and Celtic folk. To The Column it's sometimes evocative of Chip Davis' Mannheim Steamroller. Go figure. The leader Jason Johnson, sings like Glenn Yarborough and plays flute like Ismael Morales. Cellist Martin hloppers. playing his green instrument piz- zicato as well as con arco isn't Piatagorsky but could be right out of the Hot Club of France.

AT THE O'KEEFE Tonight's your last op- portunity, for this year anyway. to catch the Cape Breton Summertime Revue at the O'Keefe. For those unaware, it's a varie- tv show from Atlantic danada that's been running since 1986. The O'Keefe is one of the stops on its first National Tour. The revue first brought the Rankin Family and Rita MacNeil to larger Canadian audiences. Miss MacNeil had been less than successful in her earlier Toronto days. The show rums about two hours and the music per- formed is in a variety of styles ranging from pop to folk. Native earth comedy, too, as well as step dancing and fiddlin'. Good stuff. Of course, the really big news is that Hello Dolly is returning to The O'Keefe Wilson Brooks Memorial Lecture Series To honour the memory of Wilson Brooks, a founder and the first Vice - President of the Ontario Black History Society, among his many other ac- complishments, a series of lectures will be launched featuring individuals who have excelled in their fields. Wilson Broosk tried to be the best he could be in his profession. teaching, and similarly encouraging others to reach bevond their goals. Co-sponsored by the Royal Ontario Museum to enhance the ex- hibit of the Gold of Meroe - the adornments of ancient Africans. the lecture series promises to meet the stan- dards set by Wilson Brooks while conveying newinfor- mation about both ancient and contemporary African issues. On Sun. July 10 from 2 to 3:3D p.m. Dr. Ivan Sertima. author of "They Came Before Columbus. Nile Valley Civilizations" and "Egypt: Child of Africa" (pending 1994, will present new research findings. sup- ported by slides, on the African Ontgm of Egyptian Civilization. Dr. Peggy Bertram will speak about the kings of the Twenty - Fifth Dynasty who reigned over almost a quarter of the African continent. On Thrus. Aug. 18 from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Dr. Mdefi Asante, author of "Ibe Afrocentric Idea", "Classical Africa" and "Malcolm X as Cultural Hero and other Afrocentric Essays (and '36 other publications) will discuss "The Western Structure of Knowledge: Its limitations in Explaining Ancient Africa." Both lectures promise to be thought provoking and informative. Ar- rangements have been made for both professors to sign copies of their books which participants may already own, which par - ticipants may be able to purchase prior to the lec- ture at Third World Books and Crafts Inc. (537-8039) or which participants may purchase on site if desired. Lectures will be held in the ROM Theatre and the cost per lecture is $12 general admission, $10 OBHS or ROM members, students and seniors. For reservations call (416)586-5797. Kidney Care Program Old cars are good for kidneys. Or so it would ap- pear from the tremendous success The Kidney Foun- dation of Canada is enjoy- ing with its Kidney Car Program. Since the Pro- gram launched last November, over 1000 vehicles have been donated. with The Founda- tion receiving $45 per vehi- cle on average. "We were optimistic from the beginning that this new fundraising initiative would be a great success. Our optimism is based on the fact that everyone benefits from the program." states Karen Jeffrey, Kidney Car Pro- gram Chairman. The Kidney Car Program, a particularly unique and innovative fundraising ef- fort, invites individuals from across Ontario to donate unwanted moter vehicles, whether in runn- ing condition or not. to The Foundation for auction or salvage. In return, donors will have their vehicles towed away free of charge and receive an income tax receipt. Vehicles are then recycled for parts or auc- tioned- Donors simply call toll free, 1-80P•565-5511 and an information kit will be sent to them. Upon receiving this kit, donors will be ask- ed to provide specific vehi- cle infatuation. Once this data has been processed.a member of the Ontario Automotive Recyclers Association (O. A. R.A) will peck up the vehicle on behalf of The Foundation. ..The process of donating a vehicle has been fine- tuned. Thanks to computer link -ups and the participa- tion of O. A R.A. members, it takes only 2-3 weeks for the donor to dispose of an unwanted vehicle," con- tinues Karen Jeffrey. ............... l.•A .•.�•.1 .•.:•.• �.'.:•.':'.•.'.•:.'.•.t•.:•.•.•:.•:.Y •: S.'.•.•.•.' f .:Sti'. :. � .� {h.:JId!.'t.• l': SS :•v with its original star.

The Ontario govern- ment confirmed recently that it would grant t293,0o0 to complete architectural and engineering drawings for the construction of new facilities for the National Ballet of Canada. The new facilities will be in King's Landing on Queen's Quay, West. The space has been unoccupied for over ten years. On the face of it, this seems like an intelligent and welcome move on the part of Queen's Park. Let it not be forgotten, however, that this is the same government that cancelled the planned construction of a combined ballet and opera house when it took of- fice. Just how gullible does this N.D.P. government believe the public to be? And, in what contempt does it hold what it clearly believes to be the great un- washed!

Nord -Pas de Calais' Char- treuse do Val St -Esprit Full of Spirit Is) Situated in the :Mord-Pas de Calais region between Bethune and Bruav-en- Artois in the valley Law•e is the village of Gosnay and its chateau. Back in 1322, Chatelaine Countess Mahaut oras known to have a very austere character and did not tolerate any in- appropriate behavior in her court. The Countess caught wind of the fact that 'he young and very ,eautiful chamber maid named Alix was pregnant with a valet's child and condemned her to be buried alive. Once the punishment was carried through, strange happenings took place in the Gosnay Valley: voices. apparitions, and phantoms, at which point the area became known as the Val- des-Esprits, or the Valley of Spirits. The Countess felt great remorse, and with pious advice built a hospital with two chapels where she remembered the victim daily, and so began the Chartreuse du Val Saint -Esprit. Today there are no ap- parations or phantoms, and the chateau has been con- verted into a lovely hotel. Located in the heart of an emense estate this establishment boasts 56 beutifully appointed rooms, each one carefully decorated by the pro- prietors Mr. and Mrs. Con- stant. Rooms on the first floor are impressive with , their size and high molded ceilings, whereas second - story rooms are more in- timate. The elegance does not stop with the rooms but is car- ried forth into the dining room which offers fine gastronomy. The hotel also has eight function rooms which can accommodate groups from 15 to 300 per- sons, making it an ex- cellent seminar property. Hotel room prices from 400 - 980 FF,$95 - $233.

Pink Shell Beach At Bay Resort on Fort Mvers Beach even recycles its buildings Not only does the Pink Shell Beach & Bay Resort on Fort Myers Beach have a recycling program in place for its cans. bottles and newspapers for staff and guests, but it has a pian for its buildings as well. A bit of history was preserved as the Pink Shell sold and moved seven of its 59 cottages to other loca- tions in Lee County in order to build a seven -story, 42 -suite facility. Each suite will be a two bedroom, two bath condominium -style accommodation facing the Gulf of Mexico. Ground- breaking was early this month with completion of this $.9.5 million project ex- pected in early 1995. The cottages, each with three bedrooms and two baths (850 square feet), were moved in the middle of the night to avoid disrup- ting traffic. One cottage was moved to Alva and the remainder to locations on Fort Myers Beach. The resort opened more than 40 years ago, making the cot- tages decades old.

These knowledgeable guides pro- vide fascinating informa- tion about whales, their habits and their habitats. Whales' activities have a language all their own. For example, when a whale fl- ings its 50 -foot, 40 -ton body head first out of the water, it is known as breaching. Whales breach for a varie- ty of reasons - many times they do it as a feeding strategy to stun prey. A whale floating at the surface of the water is logg- ing. This term is derived from the fact that the whale looks like a floating log. While lingering on the ocean surface, whales often spray a cloud of water droplets from their blowholes making a loud, whooshing sound known as spouting. Bubble netting occurs when a whale dives beneath a school of fish and blows columns of bubbles. As the whale circles back up to the surface of the water, the bubble columns join to form a bubble net IOo feet across, through which the whale swims with its mouth wide open to scoop up fish.

Many times whale watch guides know these giant mammals by name. recognizing their distictive fluke and fin markings. These markings can be seen from shipside when whales are lobtailing and flippering. Whales often emerge to see what's happening above the surface of the water in an action known as whopping. To get a quick look, whales propel their long snouts straight up in the air for two to fif- teen seconds, then sink back into the sea.

The plan will allow the board to reach its expenditure reduction target for this period. as mandated by the provincial government. The plan calls for 3 unpaid leave days for all Durham Board secondary teachers. The days will be taken on Mar. 7. 8, and 9, 1985. Mar. 6, 1995 will become a pro- fessional activity day, thus extending the winter break for secondary students from Mar. 6 to 17, 1995. Professional activity days previomly sched for Sept. 16 and %ov. 7. 1994 and Feb. t0, 1996, as well as the one scheduled after the January 1995 examination days, will become regular instructioal days when both teachers and students will attend. The payroll deduc- tion for the 3 unpaid leave days to be taken in March will be spread over the September 1984 to June 1995 pay period. Secondary teachers who earn less than $30,000 an- nually will not be affected adversely by the plan. They will not report to work on the unpaid leave days scheduled for secon- dary teachers, but the time will be rescheduled with the agreement of their in- dividual principals. The Durham Board of Educaion employs about 1400 secondary teachers. Peacekeeping Forces Guests At Reena Dinner The Reena Foundation was honoured to have as special guests, members of the Canadian peacekeeping force at this years Gala Dinner on Wed, Juane 72nd. Last winter, in the height of the civil war in the former Yugoslavia, a bat- talion of Canadian peacekeeping troops became a part of history. While securing the war - ravaged town of Fojnica, they came upon an institu- tion for developmentally handicapped children and adults which had been abandoned by its staff. They not only provided water, food and clothing but continued over many weeks to display outstan- ding humanitarian qualities in caring for the many residents there. The bravery and commitment to improving the lives of people in need, as demonstrated by these soldiers are qualities of which we Canadians are justly proud. "Their acceptance to at- tend our Gala Dinner will give us the opportunity to express our admiration and respect," said Mar- shall Gottlieb, co-chairman of the dinner committee. Growing rapidly since it opened its first home in 1974, Reena now has more than 200 people living in houses or apartments, pro- vides life -skills and voca- tional training for a further 250 people and in addition gives support to many hun- dreds of developmentally handicapped men and women and their families who are on the ever grow- ing waiting list. Through its creative plan- ning and programming. Reena has become a leader in the field of service provi- sion and has led the way for other agencies in the com- munity. "The Reena dinners have always been remembered for the warmth, empathy and joyous emotions they rouse," added Ron Hoff- man. Cochairman.

Security &Safety Report Presented To Board At the board meeting of June 27, 1944, trustees of the Durham Board of Education received the an- nual report of the Security and Safety Committee, in- cluding a summary of the results of the implementa- tion of a reporting system for school incidents which threaten the safety and security of individuals. The report notes the in- crease in concern over the past several years about violence in society and follows the release earlier Ms month by the Ministry of Education and Training of the Violence -Free Schools Policy which iden- tified 8 criteria for boards' security and safety pro- grams. The Durham Board recognizes the role of schools in cooperating with the community to deal with the challenges which face students. It has developed policies to implement violence prevention pro- grams in schools and has implemented a number of important initiatives in the areas of conflict resolution and peer mediation, staff development, parenting programs, curriculum materials, community partnerships and liaison with police and community support services. In 1991, the board's Security and Safety Com- mittee prepared a hand- book entitled "Guidelines for Administrators on Security and Safety in Schools", which outlined the principles of prevention and response, strategies for dealing with violent behaviour and emergency procedures. The same committee has been work- ing in conjunction with the Safe Schools Committee, a joint venture of 4 boards of education and the regional police services, which developed the Protocol for Police Involvement in Schools document. Ongoing liaison with the Canadian Association for Safe Schools is maintained. Many curriculum in- itiatives and in-service training programs for staff have been put in place in Durham Board schools. To date, 51 schools have been provided with two-way radios for use by ad- ministrative and custodial staff and early feedback in- dicates that these have been invaluable in several of the incidents reported. Over the past year, the Safety and Security Com- mittee has been collecting data in order to prepare the first annual report on safe- ty and security incidents in schools. The categories for reporting include physical and verbal aggression, trespassing, major theft. possession or use of a weapon, gang threats and other. Information about the location of each inci- dent, injuries incurred, notification of police and Let Off Some Steam In Durham From trains to tractors to carnes, Durham Region will have it all this month.

The Durham Board system serves a total of 588,260 students. Two hun- dred and ninety-four reports have been filed from September 1993 to June 1994 by 111 schoos. The most common type of incident was physical ag- gression (44 percent), followed by verbal aggres- sion (28 percent), major theft (13 percent), use or seizure of weapons or in- struments used as weapons (10 percent) , trespassing ( 8 percent) and gang violence'thrests (2 per- cent). Seventeen percent of incidents were classified as "other". The same incident could be categorized under more than one heading, if applicable. Given the number of students and schools and the 10 month period over which the data was col- lected, the results of the survey generally indicate that schools on Durham Region are maintaining a safe environment - "Schools do not teach violence." says Pickering Trustee Louise Farr. "Schools are a mirror of society. and the communi- ty as a whole must work to create a safer environ- ment". Violence is a societal pro- blem and all of society. in- cluding schools. must be in- volved in confronting and reducing it. The Durham Board of Education realizes that more work still needs to be done, especially with high needs and at -risk children, and is committed to striving to provide a safe environment for all the students in its care. it will be looking for and actively soliciting com- munity partnerships to pro- vide input and support in the development of a Violence Prevention Policy, as mandated by the Ministry of Education and Training's Violence -Free Schools Policy.
