Council has also hired 5 consultants to assist the town's preparation for the commencement of legal action to close the Brock West Landfill Site at a cast of $81,912.32.

Claremont Community Centre George Johnson. representing the Claremont & District Community Association told council that the proposed community centre in Claremont was actually planned 20 years ago. He noted that the town was compensated for various community centres that were expropriated by the federal government and the funds from these expropriations is to be used in the rural part of Pickering for other community centres. The proposed community centre LS required because the present facilities of the fire hall, library. seniors' centre and local halls are inadequate. By building this community centre through the Infrastructure Program, tete town will only pay a third of the cost. It is cheaper to grade all the facilities by putting them under one roof. . .................. The value of building permits issued in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). which includes Durham, Halton, Metro. Peel and York increased by 5.8%, from $2.0 billion to $2.1 billion. New house production in the GTA increased 19.8%, however the value of permits issued for non-residential construction decreased 18.2%. Durham led all GTA Regions in percent growth of both total construction value and new residential unit production, increasing its share of GTA building activity. the first six 1994 totalled , an increase of 64.0% compared to the Same time period in 1993. According to a report prepared for Regional Planning Committee by the Commissioner of Planning, Mr.Georgieff, this increase in value is the result of increased new house production and them comencement of construction of the new $39.1 million Whitby Psychiatric Hospital. Building permits were issued for a total of 1,449 new residential units in the first half of 1994, an 90.4% increase compared to the 8W units produced in the same time period last year. During the first half of 1994. permits were issued for 967 sirtgk detached units. 271 semi-detached units, 165 townhouse: Cal -- -Wles units and 6 apartment units. The limited production of new apartment units is attributed to reduced apartment construction activity by the public (assisted housing) sector. The increase in new house production is due to a combination of factors such as low mortgage rates. low house prices. government incentives for first-time id home buyers areturning consumer confidence. It is expected that prospective new horse buyers win continue to be sensitive to these factors however. should conditions change. such as higher mortgage rates, the rate of new housing production may be affected. The value of permits issued for non-residential v 1 traction during the first half of 1994 totalled 969.0 million, an increase of 22.9% over the $56.2 million worth of permits issued during the same time period in 1983. The value of permits issued for institutional uses increased 245.6%, agricultural permits grew 97.5% and industrial permits grew 62.1%. Permits issued for governmental uses, however, dropped 54.4% and permits issued for commercial uses dropped 52.9%. Commercial permit value tapered off in 1994 as the improvements to the Oshawa Centre neared completion. A total of 790,559 square feet of new non-residential floorspace was created during the first half of 1994, an increase of 50.1% over the 526,805 square feet pro- duced during the same time period in 1993.

September 14, 1994 opinion a page for expression for you and us About Our Education by Bob Watson The start of our Ontario school year was very strange this year. School boards in Toronto, North York and East York closed their public schools to celebrate the two day Jewish New Year. The Scarborough schools and Catholic schools opened normally and did not celebrate the Jewish New Year. This event has never happened before and there didn't seem to be much publicity about the new two day school holiday. In the meantime our public schools are banned by provin- cial law from having the Lord's Prayer or readings from the Bible in our public schools. This was not the case in the 1930's and 1940's when our ethnic population was mainly English, Scottish and Insh. Today we seem intent on cater- ing to the many new ethnic groups who have taken up residency in Metro Toronto and the surrounding regions. We don't know if the Jewish New Year holidays were put into general holiday action by our Ontano Premier Bob Rae, who is Jewish. Public reaction is definitely against having two mare days cut out of our school year. And, of course, other religious groups, such as the Muslims, are already applying to have their religious dates named as school holidays. In our opinion, the Ontario educational system was com- pletely shattered by former Premier Bill Davis and the premiers following Davis' time have done nothing to give equality and a dash of our religious background into the schools.

Liberals emphasized the importance of creating a positive environment for small business. The entrepreneurial spirit that drives this sector must be fostered because Canada's economic well-being depends on it. In recent years, small and medium-sized businesses continued to create jobs and innovate at a time when the Canadian economy was at a standstill. They have been responsible for up to 85 percent of new job creation. They are the Canadian economy's brightest hope. The government has been consulting with small businesses. listening to their views on the challenges and opportunities that confront them. As a government. we are taking steps to effectively target our limited resources towards supporting business competitiveness and growth in the global economy. Access to capital is often an obstacle to growth. To help in the search for financing, Industry Minister John Manley announced in May a new $50 million working capital program by the Federal Business Development Bank (FBDB) . The FBDB primarily provides term debt and equity financing for small and medium-sized businesses. Through its new Working Capital for Growth program, the bank will help supplement small businesses that want to expand and create new jobs by topping up their existing working capital from conventional sources. (Further information: 1-800-361-2126) To reduce the burden of paperwork, the government recently launched a pilot project called the Single Business Registration Number (SBRN). Current test sites include Sydney. Moncton, Kingston, St. Catharine's, North Bay, Regina and Victoria. A single number will replace the various numbers used by each business. The SBRN will combine four Revenue Canada accounts: corporate income tax. import-export. payroll deductions and the Goods and Metro Council News from Ken Morrish Councillor Scarborough Highland Creek Morrish To Stand I am very proud of the work I've been able to do on behalf of the citizens of this community. My 2B years of experience as an elected representative to Municipal government stand the voters well in the accomplishments listed in this document. There is, however, more to do and I want the record to show that I intend to underscore the support of the constituents in focusing on the issues of Policing and Public security, elimination of duplicated government services and a stronger stand for more accountability in the business of governing Metropolitan Toronto. Recently there has been speculation and rumour that I would not continue to represent the voters of Scarborough Highland Creek in the upcoming election. Take note, I will stand for Metro Councillor for this constituency. With the ;support I've enjoyed that has enabled me to serve the area so well. I have no alternative but to continue. I am fortunate to have always been in a position that i can dedicate t00% of my time and effort to the office of Councillor. I finance my own campaign and take no financial support from developers. special interest groups. consulting firms or favour seekers. By not being aligned or beholding to anyone or group, I am clearly able to best represent Scarborough Highland Creek based solely on the support of the electorate. With that endorsement, track record and a dedicated will to continue, I am confident that the voters of Scarborough Highland Creek will return me to Metropolitan Toronto Council for the next three years. Letter To The Editor Re: Signs Used During Elections I would like to issue a challenge to all candidates in the upcoming Municipal elections: To Not use signs. If all candidates in any Ward agree to Not use them, then it can be done. It would be great if we could eliminate the use of signs in as many Wards as possible. They are costly. not environmentally friendly. and questinable as to their effectiveness. This year may be wase than others due to the recent court Wiling. We may have more signs on the public streetways than before# Signs are a strange phenomenon. If one candidate uses them the others are forced to. If all agree to not use them, then everyone is starting equal. The electioneering is limited to candidate's printed material. meeting the electors at the door, or Uiratgh the mediums of newspapers and TV or radia. There seems to be some acceptance of this idea this year. 1, for one, would like to go without signs in the Ward 5 race for City Councillor. I issue a challenge to all Candidates to agree to do the same. We could get unanimity in one Ward and the idea could spreak to others. Please respond through the newspaper, or to my address, Thank you, Paul Crawford 1 Kimberrroft Ct. Scarborough, MIS 4V6 Services Tax. It will be implemented nationally in January 1995. (Further urther information: I -WO -959.11 9?) The government is encouraging Canadian businesses to seek out new partners and markets overseas. Since January. small and medium-sized businesses have had access to a network of international partners through BCNet, a program subsidized by the federal goverrtmtent. BCNet helps busing to find foreign patners who will help them to open new markets, acquire new technologies or expand their activities. There are 35 participating countries, as well as four Canadian provinces ( Nova Scotia, Quebec, Ontario and British Columbia). BCNet will eventually expand to the other provinces. (Further information: 613-238-4t10o) Revenue Canada has also implemented measures specifically for small and medium-sized businesses, including trade seminars. Small and medium-sized businesses can obtain information, notably on the North American Free Trade Deal, U.S. customs and other Canadian government departments. ( Further information 1- 613-952-9488) Small and medium-sized businesses are the driving force behind the Canadian economy. For these businesses to succeed in the global economy, governments and the private sector must cooperate. The government has committed itself to reducing duplication and providing better service at a lower cost. It understands that by helping small businesses to grow and compete, we will build a better economic and social future for all Canadians. ��fi��N�fa��fifi �'T•��fla �r�f,�sal Give A Gift That Lasts All Year!

Sept. 18, 3,400 communities across Canada will celebrate the 14th Annual Terry Fox Run for Cancer Research. Many Canadians remember Terry Fox as 'the courageous young man with an artificial leg from Port Coquitlam, British Columbia who ran from St. John's Newfoundland to Thunder Bay, Ont. in 1960. Terry called his run The Marathon of Hope and rais- ed $24.17 million for cancer research. "Cancer has touched the lives of so many Cana- dians," said Martha Mc - Clew, Ontario Director of The Terry Fox Foundation. "That is why Terry's mis- sion continues to inspire people to participate in record numbers each year. " In 1933, Ontario raised a record $3.6 million despite the very tough economic times. All funds are allocated by the National Cancer Institute to resear- chers who are working to find the secrets behind ear- ly detection, treatment and cure for all cancers. Terry died in 1961 but the Run carries on in his name as over 225,000 citizens of Ontario prepare to join their family and friends for the 1-10 km community events.

Last year, as part of the field placement re- quirement for a master's degree at Yeshiva Univer- sity's Wurzweiler School of Social Work, Brotman, 28, who does not speak Chinese, worked in Taiwan, launching a volunteer community ser- vice for temporary residents, among other projects. As a result of her ex- perience, Brotman wants to make things easier for newly -arrived immigrants to her native country. She took a pivotal step to this goal on July 29 when she received a master's degree in social work. "I get personal satisfac- tion from helping others." Brotman said. "And being a 'stranger' in a new place has made me attuned to the plight of immigrants." Incidentally, her sister, Shan Brotman, 26, will also receive her master's degree from Wurzweiler at commencement exercises. Susan, who has done field work at Queen Elizabeth Hospital and Surrey Place Centre, both in Toronto, tapes to work with people who have developmental disabilities. The sisters are among 7o graduate students from throughout Canada. the United States and Israel who will receive their degrees through Wurz- Growing Apples To Help Settlers Survive In New Land Imagine that you are coming to a strange new land. The winters are long and cold and your survival depends on what you grow yourself. What's the first thing you plant". In early Ontario, as well as throughout Canada and the northern United States. set- tlers planted apple trees. Why' Because they offered a pkntiful source of food, drink and even pleasure - valuable commodities for those struggling to survive in a rugged land. At Black Creek Pioneer Village, many of these heritage varieties are flourishing to- day and can still tell the story of those early pioneers. Settlers coming to Canada in the beginning and middle of the last cen- tury often brought apple seeds with them. They knew that this fruit stored well over the winter and, as early as their second year, apple trees could begin bearing fruit. Catherine Parr Traill in her 1855 book, - rbe Canadian Set- tler's Guide", emphasized the importance of apples for settlers. Mrs. Trail] goes on to talk about the apple's many uses. Adding that in addition to being a tasty and convenient fruit, it has important medicinal pro- perties, working as a lax- ative and useful in inflam- matory diseases. Settlers also turned apples into tarts, pies, preserves, jelly, syrup, apple butter, apple sauce and cider. In fact, cider was as common on settlers' tables as water was on English ones. Perhaps the most famous result of grafting practised in early Ontario was the development of the McIn- tosh apple. In 1811, John McIntosh discovered apple trees growing wild near an abandoned farmhouse on his Dundas County proper- ty. He transplanted the young trees to a fenced -in plot near his home and waited for the fruit -bearing season. The results were so impressive that neighbouas far and wide wanted to cultivate this apple. But on- ly one of John's transplanted trees bore fruit. As luck would have it, a hired hand on the McIntosh farm knew about the art of grafting. He taught John's son, Alan. how to graft a branch of the original tree onto another apple tree to produce the original fruit. Alan travelled around the area selling branches of the tree and showing farmers how to graft them onto their own apple trees. Soon farms throughout the area had large orchards of the McIntosh apple. Today, Canada is the world's largest exporter of McIntosh apples, and we owe it all to that one noble tree on the McIntosh farm. At Black Creek, visitors can see early strains of the McIntosh and other 19th century varieties of apple trees ripening like those on the farms of settlers more than 100 years ago. Come to Black Creek and ex- perience the excitement of apple harvest time. Black Creek is located at Jane St. and Steeles Ave. in north-west Toronto, 10 minutes north of Hwy. 401. Free parking.

Her husband, Yoni Schwartz, decided to go to Taiwan to study Man- darin towards his master's degree in political science, while Brotman progressed towards completing her master's degree in social work. Brotman began her com- munity service program by contacting potential social service agencies shortly after her arrival. Later, she reached out to students who were willing to volunteer their time and act as translators. Although she was str- prised at the number of social service agencies in Taiwan, she said many of them have a long way to go, from an American perspec- tive. In addition, Brotman and her husband helped run a Jewish community centre ;in the Taiwanese capital of Taipei that served about 35 Jewish ffrmilies. "My hus- band led religious services ,and I taught Sunday school," she said. She also ran a peer counseling group at a local high school in Taipei. Brotman, who speaks fluent Hebrew, also did field work in Israel for Shilo, an organization that provides family planning INSURANCE BROKERS ASSOCrA DON ONTARIO counseling and sex educa- tion programs.

Central Ontario Regional Championship Weekend Aspiring dressage riders and slow jumpers. from the Rouge Valley, Leitchcroft, Ajax and Pickering Pony Clubs, with members from this area, are expected to compete at the Central On- tario Region Pony Club Dressage and Show Jump_ ing Championships (en- tries still not finalized). Both Championships will be held at Audley Road Stables, on Audley Road approximately 1 kilometre north of Highway 2 in Ajax. The Dressage Champion- ship will be held on Sat. Sept. 17, with the Show Jumping Championship the following day. In Dressage competi- tions, each horse: rider combination performs a set feat before a judge. In addi- tion to ararking on how ac- curately the horse and rider performed the test, the judge will give marks on the paces of the horse, the obedience of the horse, and the position and seat of the rider. Marking is tough - 50% is a good score in dressage, with scores above 70% rarely seen even in the Olympics. Success in Dressage requires prac- tice, discipline and sound training, as well as talent. Horse/rider combinations must have achieved scores of at least 50% on two tests marked by recognized judges to qualify for this championship. In addition to "regular„ divisions, the Champion- ship offers competition in Novice and Basic Kurs (dressage to music, always a crowd-pleaser) . The Dressage Championship is hosted by the Durham Pony Club. The Show Jumping Championship will feature both individual and team competition in Pre - Beginner 1 ( rider 10 years old or under), Pre - Beginner 2 (rider over 10 years old), Beginner, Novice, Intermediate and Open divisions. In all ex- cept the Pre -Beginner divi- sions. the competition will consist of two classes, an Accumulator class in which one point is awarded for not knocking down the fust obstacle, two points for the second and so forth, with ties broken by speed, and a more common "Table A" class with two rounds and, if needed, a timed jump-off. The Show Jumping Championship is hosted by the Ajax Pony Club. Team competition is run like a Nations Cup. Each team consists of four riders, with the top three scores to count in each round. Each participating Pony Club may enter teams at each level. Pony Club is an interna- tional organization to pro- mote riding and horseman- ship skills among young people (up to 21 years old). The Central Ontario Region comprises 33 dif- ferent Clubs, with a total membership of over 600. In addition to Show Jumping and Dressage, Pony Club also offers competition in mounted games, rallies (including dressage, cross- country jumping and stadium jumping), tetrathalon ( including shooting, swimming, cross- country jumping and cross- country running by the riders) as well as "academic" competition in quiz format. Above all, the objective of Pony Club competition is for kids to have fun in horse -related activities. Wed. September 14, 1994 THE NEWS/ POST Page 7 Make A Million For Arthritis Month - September Make a Million for Metro is this year's battle cry for the army of volunteers and staff who raise money for The Arthritis Society, Metro Toronto. It is an am- bitious project; total funds raised in 1993194 by the Metro Toronto office tallied at more than 500,000. Their goal is to double that figure this year. The campaign will be in full swing during Arthritis Month in September. `With research costing more and more we want to double our revenue this year to help win the fight against arthritis, says Metro Toronto Regional Manager, Jim Szeman. "Our goal is to get Metro residents and companies to pull together to help `Make A Million'. Already more than 1,000 Metro Toronto residents have volunteered their time for the major fund raising drive for The Ar- thritis Society. Throughourt.

Volunteers will also be at Arthritis Information Desks at all Stoppers Drug )/tart locations in Metro Teachers Helping Teachers "Once you have worked in the developing world, your perspective is per- manently changed. Small, personal contributions do make a difference," said Gary Pennington a member of the Woburn Col- legiate staff in Scar- borough, of his experience in Guyana. Gary was speaking of his participation in Project Overseas. He spent three weeks team teaching with Guyanese teachers. Blackboards were unusable, the roonn had some benches and rough tables. There was no sign of paper, textbooks, writing materials or other audio- visual aids. The thurst of our assistance was how to be creative with almost no The Canadian Teachers' Federation and the provin- cial teacher federations across Canada, including the Ontario Secondary School Teachers' Federa- tion, sponsored the project. Teachers worked with teachers in Africa, Asia or the Caribbean. The aims of the project were the im- provement of the quality of education, the status of teachers and the teaching profession in developing countries. Teachers receiv- ed no salary. Travel, ac- commodation and ordinary living expenses were covered by OSSfF and CTF. Project Overseas provid- ed a unique professional and personal challenge which was unforgettable. OSSTF I FEESO, founded in 1919, has 49,000 members across Ontario. They in- cluded public secondary teachers, occasional teachers, educational assistants, psychologists, secretaries, speech- language pathologists, plant support personnel, at- tendance counsellors, and many others in education. Toronto on Sept. 28, Seniors' Day. This year's campaign began with flag -raising ceremonies on Sept. 1 and 2 with Mayor June Rowlands at Toronto City Hall, Mayor Joyce Trimmer in Scarborough Mayor Mel Lastman in North York and Mayor Bruce Sinclair in Etobicoke. The Society also hosted a kick-off barbeque on Sept. 1. Shopsy's donated all the food and drink as well as the staff to do the cooking. All the pro- ceeds will be donated to the Society. On Sept. 16 The Arthritis Society is promoting Dress Down Day across Metro Toronto. Companies of all sizes are invited to allow their employees to dress casually on that day in ex- change for a donation to The Arthritis Society. Par- ticipants will receive a sticker with the slogan "Don't be fooled. I'm not casual about arthritis". To join contact Diana Martin at 967-1414. To wrap up the September campaign and as a thank -you to Metro Toronto residents a unique Cir: n�- �c'�Ft9oatwr.. 94 ELECTION event is planned for Sat. Oct. I. The Arthritis Socie- ty and the Royal Bank pre- sent "Travel Through Time" at the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM). It's a fun way for families to learn about arthritis. Admission to the ROM will be free all day. Each visitor will receive a passport and is invited to travel through time with the Society. Eight checkpoints featur- ing educational displays about arthritis, the world's oldest disease, will be set up throughout the ROM. Topics include evidence -of arthritis in European .art, literature and history, animals and arthritis and information on the theory that rheumatoid arthritis originated in the New World. Visitors who get their passports stamped at each checkpoint can enter them in a contest to win a family vacation. That evening The Ar- thritis Society will host a black -tie fund raising gala at the ROM. Patrons are in- vited to travel through the museum and visit the ar- thritis checkpoints. The evening will feature food stations with international cuisine, live entertain- ment, a chance to win pnzes through a balloon burst, a silent auction of day, weekend and week- long trips, and a live auc- tion of a trip to an exotic destination. Corporate sponsors include McDonalds, Bell Canada, Kraft General Foods and CIBC -Geigy. Tickets are $125 per person. The goal is to raise $100,000 at this gala. To raise public awareness during Arthritis Month, Make A Million for Metro banners will hang from 30 railway overpasses throughout the area, messages will be featured on at least 10 electronic billboards along the Don Valley Parkway and the Gardiner Expressway and every Pharma Plus in Metro Toronto will display Arthritis Society coin boxes.

Of Competitive Swimming by Muriel Warden The celebration of 40 years of Competitive Swimming in Scarborough takes place on Sat. Sept. 24th. The Reunion Reception is 2 - 5 p.m. on the deck and patio at Birchmount Pool. Cocktails are from 6 - 7 p.m. and the dinner and dance from 7 p.m. -1 a.m. The Birchmount outdoor pool was opened in 1954. It was Scarborough's first MITI facility. The Scarborough Lions Club helped make it happen. The Competitive Swimming club that grew around that first pool was called the Scarborough Lions Swim Club coached by Norm Seath. We want to revisit our swimming past and greet swimmers, parents, club members, club directors and fans who have shaped our history in many clubs over the years.

Page 10 THE NEWSiPOST Wed. September 14, 1994 Bill Watt's Worlds ON YOUR TOES: During its corporate pre- existence, Your Column had to attend many shareholders' meetings an- nouncing the results of the previous fiscal years. They were always dull and most attendees found it necessary to read the balance sheets later to know just how good or bad- ly the given enterprise was doing. So it was with a sense of unease and resignation that we ac- cepted an invitation to at- tend a media conference announcing the National Ballet's financial standing as of the end of the 93 94 performing season. What a surprisingly pleasant ex- perience it turned out to be. The major pleasure was to learn that the NBOC is steadily digging its way out of the previous not so hap- py financial situation. It is, in fact, marginally in the black. As well, advance ticket and subscription sales are up. So, too, is the number of new works that will be presented this next season. There are six and we'll report on them all as and when. Those are only a few of the highlights BREWER'S PRIDE Brew your own fine beer on our premises ,911 211 Danforth F V6(at Mack) 699-9371 HARD TO RESIST JEWELLERY Your direct connection to jew"fiery marmlaeturers PEANUT PLAZA 4974KM Additional io% oft on already low cost jewellery with this ad Need Erica ler ? $1500 am" Itmly Stuffing arrrelopes at borne - Fres inlonnation Send stamped sect -addres- sed - welope to A.L.Y.

Las Are you looking for a Good Time? call 1-976-1395 $10 Another pleasure were the presentations of CEO James Pitblado and Ar- tistic Director Reid Ander- son. Listening to the first was to realize that one was in the presence of a take charge man. He's vital, sharp and the possessor of a barely coiled enthusiasm for the task that he has taken upon himself volun- tarily. Here is a man of whom other men can say instinctively, "I could work for a man like him ... with pleasure". Mr. Anderson was a pleasure to hear as well. All too often the image of an Artistic Director is that of one with head in the clouds unaware and uncar- ing of the practicalities of business. (As remarked here so often, show business is 50% show and 50% business.) Not so with Mr. Anderson. Oh, he's an artist first and foremost but he's an artist with knowledge of and com- petence in the world of business. Figures and facts fall from his lips without hesitation. He is, we sug- gest. the very node] of a modern Artistic Director. He is also, and we're open to challenge here, the best Artistic Director in the history of the National Ballet. Challenges anyone?

It's not her fault that the songs here are repetitive; most new songs are. Still, she does her exeeding best with them and the result is an album that's restful and relaxing but never soporific. A COLLECTION OF HER BEST RECOR- DINGS/ Marianne Faithfull ( Island ) Movie buffs will recall the British Gainsborough motion picture titled A Woman Must Live starring Margaret Lockwood. One wonders if Marianne Faithful], the erstwhile paramour of Mick Jagger the man who looks like an ape eating a banana, might ever have seen and been in- spired by it. As her summer comes to a close there has been Faithfull: An Autobiography ( Little, Brown) in which she men- tions the number of men she bedded before and after her sojourn with Rock's Dorian Gray. Now. there is A Collec- tion Of Her Best. On these. her self -titled best. she sings like an off key Buffy Ste. Marie imitating Carol Channing. The collection isn't bad but neither is it notably enjoyable. Still, a woman must live. TIME OF THE SE:ASO\ Michael Damien, (A.& M.Strawberry) Michael Damian is pro- bably best known as the perennial juvenile love in- terest on The Young And The Restless. He is, in fact. an accomplished singer and fresh from a Broadway triumph in Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor Dreamlcoat. His latest albrmn is stan- dard M.D. That is to say, standard Damian. He has the true pitch of a Mel TormE or John Gary but not the vitality of the former nor the dynamic sonority of the latter. It's inoffensive, even pleasant. And, that's not damning with faint praise. PARTY TIME:ONE As announced here previously, The Phantom of the Opera observes a record breaking fifth an- niversary next Tuesday. For the five days leading up to it - starting this Fri- day, Livent is opening the doors of The Pantages for five days of public Open House events ... all of them free. Consult your daily listings for times but here are some of the events. An open Phantom cast rehear- sal; wig, wardrobe, special effects and makeup demonstrations; a late night cabaret (perfor- mance ticket holders only); backstage tours; Pantages Theatre tours; an autograph party to meet the cast and, our most eagerly awaited event, High Tea and Conversation where fellow Son of the The Desert Mike Filey and theatre historian Janis Barlow will lead a discus- sion of this city's theatre districts and the faithful restoration of The Pan- tages. That's a helluva sentence but this is a helluvan occasion. It seems only yesterday that we attended a media conference to bear Garth Drabinssky announce plans for the theatre's restora- tion and presentation of The Phantom. Will the next five years go so quickly? PARTY TIME:TWO Also as announced here earlier, the Joseph Carrier Art Gallery in Columbus Centre opens its exhibition, The Wedding Photograph on Sept. 20th. The operfing night party is free to everyone and is in the style of a wedding reception. There will be a dance band, balloon drop, renewal of vows, cake and champagne. That's better than tea and watercress sand- wiches. MEMORY 71ME: On Fri. Sept. 23rd. the Mills Brothers will appear with Julius La Rosa at La Bussola for luncheon and It's not dear from our advance notice if the Mills Brothers will appear as a quartet or a trio. We do know that Donald Mills, the only surviving member of the original"Four Boys and a Guitar". will be ap- pearing„ as will his son. Paul Locrichio will open with a comedy turn and there will also be the music of John Hasselbach's big band. La Bussola is at MW Jane St. It's a significantly long way up but well worth the drive. Abundant park - Set well. you there. 1N THE CLUBS: The working day began with luncheon at The vineyard. It continued with an evening assignment at the ahem. Silver Dollar Room of the Hotel Waverley. ( Get that nose out of the air conpadre! It's quite nice ... the Silver Dollar we mean) . The assignment was to the CD release party of Se- cond Look Chris Whiteley (Pyrammid). Anything pales after lunching with an at- tractive woman at The Vineyard and we weren't notably enthusiastic about seeing and hearing a Blues band at best or another Rock group at wast. What a pleasant surprise we received! The ensemble reminded us of Cy McLean and the Rhythmn Rompers who us- ed to appear at Sunnyside's Club Esquire (later renam- ed Club Top Hat). It in- cludes wind instruments - clarinet, trumpet, trom- bone - and an honest to Petrillo piano, not one of those execrable electric keyboards. It's played in the way that the late June Vasey used to play it with the Downdhild Blues Band. Our full review of the CD will follow in due course. Yes, we know we're backed up in our reviews but don't shoot this piano player; we're doing the best we can. Just get out and sam- ple the delights of this inci- pient renaissance small swing band. Best cut? For us, it's the Roy Turk stan- dard, Mean To Me. Paraphrasing an old song title, Swing might be a little late but it's definitely coming back. IN CONCERT: Your Column doesn't know whether or not the Vienna Choir Boys are still in existence but the Boys Choir of Harlem most cer- tainly still is. It will launch Stage Centre Presents Witness For The Prosecution . Stage Centre Produc- Atims presents "Witness For The Prosecution", by Agatha Christie directed and designed by L. Garth Allen Sept. 22 to Oct. 8, Thursday, Friday, Satur- day and Wed. Oct. 5 at 8 p.m., Sundays at 2 p.m. at Fairview Library Theatre, 35 Fairview Mall Dr. (Sheppard Ave. E. at Don Mills Road.) Only Agatha Christie could have conceived such a suspenseful thriller, and capped it with an uncanny triple -flip ending' The story is that of a young married man who spends many evenings with a rich, older woman. When she is found murdered, he is the chief suspect; but he naively expects the testimony of his wife to br- nag about an acquittal. His wife, however, tures out to be a shrew and dashes his chances. Many are the twists and turns before this mystery arrives at its suspenseful and amazing conclusion. May we suggest that if you did see the film starr- ing Marlette Dietrich and Charles Laughton that for the greater entertainment of your friends who have yet to see the play, you will not divulge the secret of the ending. For tickets, and reserva- tions call 299-5557. Single tickets are $15, Subscrip- tions $60; Seniors; Students $12, Subscriptions $48; Family Subscriptions (2 adults and up to 3 students) $125. Group rates are available. -Witness For The Pro- secution" is the first pro- duction of the 1994-95 season. Why not buy a subscription and guarantee your seats for Les Liaisons Dangereuses - Dangerous Liaisons (in English), Pygmalion. The Trip to Bountiful and A Funny Thing Happened On the Way To The Forum. (5 shows for the price of 4.) Scarborough Lantern Festival At Agincourt Mall Sept -14 To celebrate the Scm- borough Lantern Festival, Agincoui t Mall's Club 65 Plus will be hosting a com- plimentary Senior's social on Wed. Sept. 14 at Agin- court Mall. 385o Sheppard Ave. E. from 3 to 5 p.m. The Scarborough Lantern Festival will feature the mystery and wonder of the Mid -Autumn event which celebrates the beautiful moon. The Club 65 Plus social will feature a host of activities beginning with beating effects of Tai Chi from the Taoist Tai Chi Society. The audience will also experience the mystery of the Far East from a Chinese Fortune and Story Teller. as well the art of lantern making will be featured during the afternoon presentation. Ad- ding to the mood and spirit of the evening Chinese the 94;96 Season for the Recital Hall of the North York Performing Arts Cen- tre on Sept. 17th (evening) and 18th (matinee). The program is unknown to us as we write but one hopes it will include Children of the World which is a wondrously mov- ing work. One also hopes that those who picketed Show Boat upon its opening will see fit to stay away. They wouldn't know the dif- ference between Camp - down Races and Palestrina. IN SPORTS: Former lightweight box- ing champ Ike Williams passed away recently at age 71. He was one of a whole galaxy of lighter weight boxers, the likes of which we're not likely ever to see again. Included were Bob Montgomery, Beau Jack, Benny Leonard, Tony Zale and Toronto's own L'il Arthur King. The entertainers will delight the at heart. Agincourt Mall welcomes Scarborough's Senior Community to it's appreciation social, and many of the merchants have donated prizes and gifts to be given away throughout the event. Everyone will also be treated to a complin>eiiary Oriental buffet lunch. Agincourt Mall Club 65 Plus is a program specifically for local seniors, and consists of various events throughout the year such as brunches, fashion shows, information seminars, and socials. Membership to Club 65 Plus is free and everyone is encouraged to join. All are invited to come and experience the magic of the Orient with Agin- court Mall and Club 65 Plus. last named was so good that Williams' manager, Blinky Palermo, took him into his own stable and saw to it that the two were never matched against each other! Boxing was as dirty a business then as it is now but lordy, how this former welterweight misses those fungi fighters. IN PASSING: Under the dynamic leadership of Mayor Mel Lastman, North York has stolen many a march on Scarborough. Now, it seems it might even have stolen its town crier. Have a look please at the front page of the newly titled North York Town Crier. Moonlighting Frank?

K.C.Snow. -1 - travel Gather owboys Indians Swap Houses To Stretch Your Travel Budget by Isobel Warren Care to chop your travel costs in half? It's simple - sidestep hotels and swap houses in- stead. The saving, says Cana- dian home exchange pioneer Bert Meadley, could finance a second holi- day. A European institution, home exchange is catching on here. Subtract the cost of accommodation and local transportation - since most swaps include the family car - and what's left? Airfare, some meals and incidentals. Not only does Mr. Meadley regularly offer his Florida condo, his Scar- borough home - even his beloved boat - to swap part- ners, he's jumped in feet fust. Six years ago, newly retired from his insurance adjusting business, he established Landfair Hone Exchange Club. Now, link- ed with clubs international- ly, he offers exchanges in Canada and the U.S., Mex- ico, the U.K., most of Europe, inchIding Portugal and Greece, Middle East, Australia and even Tambabwe. Here's how it works. Potential swappers pay $50 (plus $10 for a photo or se- cond entry) for a listing in Landfair's international directory - a new edition is due in November. The next step is to browse the listings, select a location and e xchcontact �ae doesn't just happen - it takes effort on both sides. Swappers are urged to exchange let- ter, phone calls, house photos. ( Most prospects speak English.) They discuss pets and plants ( who cares for what), smoking, and most impor- tant cars, which enhance both the comfort and the economy of the trip. The houses may differ dramatically - a hsh cordo in southern Spain for a rustic cabin in the Cana- dian woods - provided each partner knows exactly what's in store. When everybody's satisfied that they know and like their partner, the swap can take place. As travel costs rise and the Canadian dollar buys less and less, the challenge of affordable travel in- creases. With even modest hotel rooms running $100 to $200 in major European cities, accommodation can devour $3,000 for a two- week jaunt, not including food and car rental costs. And that doesn't put a dollar figure on comfort - that treasured bedtime cup of tea, amenities such as in- house laundry or a chance to meet the locals, nearly impossible on hotel -bound holidays. Or the relief of knowing that your home is occupied and secure while you're away. At first, the idea of han- ding over house and car keys to a total stranger freezes the blood. "You're in their house - they're in yours," com- ments Neil Bova, an en- thusiastic swapper. "It's not the sort of situation in which people rip you off." Intuition is an ally for Herman Buis, a retired horticultural grower from Mssion, B.C. just back from a home exchange in Bangor, Maine. "Tile let- ters and phone calls are im- portant," he notes, "but finally you have a sense that you've found the right peke.„ Integrity, trust and a tendency to go the second mile are factor, he says. His Bangor hosts drove to Fredericton airport while he left his car at Vancouver airport so each would have a vehicle upon arrival. A pre-flight phone call pin - panted both locations. John and Esmee Boldie of Pickering, Ont. swapped their Florida condo, nor- mally used only in winter, for six weeks in South Wales, an excellent base for exploring a wide swath of England and even a short jaunt to Ireland. Getting acquainted with your prospects is vital, ad- vises Mr. Goldie. You mustn't be niggardly. The exchange is saving you a great deal of money,'' Mr. Goldie pointed out. The money you spend on phone calls and photos pays off in mutual understanding. Since the Goldies had driven their car home from Florida, they rented a car for their guests ( car ren- tals are much cheaper in Florida) . Many swappers are retirees or teachers allow- ing flexibility to destina- tions and dtrations. An ex- ception is Neil Bova, 33, a log home builder who lives an hour out a( Ottawa near Perth, Ont. Last year he swapped his lakeside cot- tage for a town borne in Teddington, Middlesex, a 20 minute train ride from London where he spent most of his time. Now he's working on a swap with French hosts who will savour his newly built log home. Mr. Bova's exchange paw got a bonus in Canada - they spent several days with his Ottawa -based parents, who met then at the airport and showed them the sights. In turn, he spent a couple of days with them, savouring their favourite pub and the best local fish and chip shop.

Combining the living traditions of Cowboy and Indian cultures, the first International Cowboy and Indian Congress will be held Oct. 14-23, in Scott- sdale, Arizona. The 10 day extravaganza will be pack- ed with more than 50 events, ranging from the excitement of Buffalo Bill's Wild West show to Indian Powwow dance competi- tions, chuckwagon races, rodeos and cowboy poets. The events will take place at Westworld, a premier 362 acre equestrian and entertain- ment centre, set against the scenic backdrop of Arizona's Sonoran desert hills. Westworld president Richard Stevens says, "We expect more than 100,000 visitors from the United States and from around the world to witness this historic gathering." He ad- ded "The Congress aims to be the most spectacular celebration of the unique heritage of the American West ever held." Various cowboy -style competitions will be held throughout the ten days in- cluding Pony Express relays, 50 mile chuckwagon races and stagecoach stampeJes- Cowboys also have a sensitive side - America's best cowboy poets will be here for poetry readings. Old West fans won't be disappointed as the legen- dary Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show, now in its 111th year, will be there to enter- tain with trick roping and riding demonstrations. stagecoach holdups. stunts and Australian whip - crackers. Indian Powwows, a tradi- tion dating back 2,000 years in America, will be one of the highlights of the Con- gress. Tribes from across the United States and Canada will be judged in various dance competi- tions. Other aspects of In- dian culture will be featured: an Indian village with hundreds of Native American artisans, musi- cians, storytellers and dancers sharing their heritage. The Buffalo Soldiers, a re -enactor group of the famous black cavalry troops who pursued Geronimo over the toughest terrain in the West, will pitch camp on the Congress grounds and demonstrate what rugged boot camp recruits had to endure to join the elite unit. Admission to the Westworld grounds is $5 U.S. for adults and $3 U.S. for children aged 12 and under. Admission to special events is $15 for reserved seats and $10 for general admission.

Geariin6 UP School activities are gearing up for a busy year at Pearson as the Pearson Choir, Pearson Dancers, Pearson Playhouse, Grad Committee and Prefects are all meeting and plann- ing for an exciting year. Many other groups are also being formed. At the moment tryouts are being held in volleyball, tennis, football, field hockey and basketball with many other sports to follow. We hope to have more news from all these groups in the weeks and months to follow. Tutorial Period At Pearson the regular class periods are slightly shorter than at most other schools. This time is placed in a special period from 3 to 3:30 p.m. each day. In- dividual students and teachers can pian to use the time to best advantage. This time can be used for individual conferencing, remedial assistance to groups of students and enrichment activities. Students who wish to upgrade their work may be required to do so during this time slot. Students may use the time for in- dependent study in the library or if all other responsibilities are can, plete may leave the building. Students are given this chance to learn to matte wise choices in time management. Common Concerns One of the special timetables at Pearson is the Common Concerns Discussion Day. This timetable allows students, in homeform grouping, to discuss items of general concern, take a position and then communicate the class position directly to the school administration. The class selects a representative to go to a Common Concerns Coun- cil. This representative makes notes on the points of view expressed by other members of the council, and any conclusions which are reached. The following day the representative reports back to their homeform.

Pasta has long been a favorite of both adults and children and today, this ver- satile food shows no sign of waning in popularity. In fact, the classic pasta dishes that many Canadians grew up with are being updated to offer bet- ter nutritional value with '90s flavor and flair. While pasta made its mark as an economical staple that was ideal for quick last minute meals, the current focus on healthy eating has propelled pasta -- a complex carbohydrate that's naturally low in fat -- into the forefront once again. Today, most su- permarkets offer an extensive selection of dried pastas in- cluding the newer whole wheat, added fibre and added protein pastas. Egg noodles made without yolks are also available for those watching their cholesterol, as well as nutritional low-fat pasta sauces. Ingredients that are favorites of many pasta lovers such as sun-dried tomatoes. fresh herbs, shiitake mush- rooms and low-fat cheeses are also becoming more popular and easier to find in produce rnarkets and grocery stores. Here are updated versions of three timeless favorites with delicious new twists. This updated Fettucine Al- fredo starts with Yolk Free Noodles and uses evapo- rated partly skimmed milk, reduced -salt chicken broth. parmesan, flour and just a touch of butter to create a creamy low-fat sauce. As- sorted grilled mushrooms and Italian prosciutto add distinctive flavor and a mod- ern touch to this delicious entree. For family gatherings, try Whole Wheat Vegetable Lasagne. Low-fat ricotta and mozzarella, frozen spinach and assorted fresh veggies are combined with a Tomato and Herbs Pasta Sauce to make this tasty dish that's high in protein and fibre. For another fibre -filled dish, the classic Macaroni and Cheese has been updated with light cream cheese. light cheddar. I % partly skimmed milk and added fibre, mac- aroni.
