The 50 schools participating were judged in early August on a variety of criteria in- cluding absence of litter and weeds, plant growth and design of gardens. Chairperson Patty Bowman joined Mary and Sheryl in congratulating area winners Cartwright Central P.S. ( Area 1), Cedardale P.S. ( Area 2), Central C.I. (Area 3), Dr. R. Thornton P.S. ( Area 4 ), Valley View P.S. (Area 5) and Gandatsetiagon P.S. (Area 6). The winners received framed photographs of their school projects. From the field of 6 area winners, regional winners were chosen for the educa- tional value of their pro- jects and the benefits to students, staff and the com- munity. The regional win- ners were Valley View P.S. in first place and Dr. R. Thornton P.S. in second place. They each received a large plaque and a che- que for $300 and $200 respectively.

They will represent the Central Seven Association for Com- mumity Living. the Associa- tion for Bright Children and the Autism Society of Ontario, Durham Chapter, respectively. Education Development Charges By-law Passed The board passed aria- - tion approving an Educa- tion Development Charges By -Law to come into effect Jan. 1, 1995. The Develop- ment Charges Act allows boards of education to levy a charge on new residen- tial, industrial, commer- cial and institutional development, with some exclusion, in order to pro- vide an additional source of funding for educational capital costs. Currently, these costs are borne by the provincial government and local ratepayers. As the Ministry of Education and Training has reduced its overall capital grants, more of the funding burden has been shifted to local ratepayers. The residential Educa- tion Development Charges will be a flat rate of $1,369 per residential trait. The commercial charges will be 1.07 percent of the declared building permit value of each commercial unit. These rates are non- indexed and will be in ef- fect far a 5 year period. The charges will be collected by the municipality, on behalf of the school board, at the time building permits are issued. The Durham Board ex- pects the E.D.C.'s to generate about $40 million over 5 years. These funds may only be used to build new schools and additions to schools for the students generated by the residen- tial units for which the charges are levied. This means that capital projects now listed on the board's 5 year capital expenditure forecast to accommodate students currently enroled in the system would not be eligible for funding from these charges. Board Receives Results of Provincial Review The board received its results of the provincial grade 9 reading and writing review conducted during the 1993-94 school year by the Ministry of Education and Training.

The performance level of students was measured against provincial stan- dar ds based on the Com- mon Curriculum, Grades l to 9, drafted in 1993. A 6 point scale was used for marking, with level I being dependent per for mance and level 6 being superior performance. The Ministry's expected range of student perfor- mance was from levels 3 to 5. Level 6 was considered to be beyond what would be expected of a grade 9 stu- dent and level 1 was con- sidered to be below expec- tation. Of the students who took the English language test province -wide, 90 percent performed at level 3 or above in reading and 94 percent performed at level 3 or above in writing. In Durham, these figures were 91 percent and 96 per- cent respectively. In the responses about student at- titudes, 96 percent of females and 90 percent of males provincially in- dicated they had a positive attitude about reading, compared to 95 percent of Durham females and 87 percent of Durham males.

November =i, 1994 Opinion a page for expression for you and us What's Next? by Bob Watson Well, the average citizen has recovered from the local municipal elections - although many of the candidates who didn't manage to achieve the necessary results to get elected are still wondering why. We understand their feel- ings as we had eleven failures in a row at the municipal polls. So, this past weekend both the new Democrats and Pro- gressive Conservatives have gathered for their indepen- dent party conventions. The New Democrats met in Hamilton while London was the location of the Progressive Conservative meeting. Premier Bob Rae is trying to gather his party members together because we expect him to announce the date of the next provincial election. PC Leader Mike Harris has come up with strong, right wing plans for Ontario if his party wins the next provincial election. Generally speaking he wants to cut • costs everywhere in the government. One of his ideas is to reduce the number of legislative members, which will definitely reduce costs. The Bob Rae government has passed a number of laws which we believe interfere with how private industries operate and thus has driven a number of American sub- sidiaries out of the province resulting in no work for hun- dreds of workers. The Bob Rae government hasn't been successful in our opinion because the premier is sur -rounded by a number of incompetent cabinet ministers. Well, the debate on this topic will become intense once we learn about the actual date of the next provincial election. Let's hope for a change of government'.

The Immigration Dilemma by Sam J. Apelbaum The federal government is in the process of reduc- ing the annual level of im- migration permitted to Canada. The current na- tional mood appears to be moving toward favouring more restrictions. Hence the change in government policy. The principal complaint about immigration is that, generally speaking, we are today receiving in Canada the type of immigrant who appears to want to take full advantage of the numerous entitlements one has in Canada, whereas 30 or 40 years ago we were receiv- ing immigrants who were primarily in Canada for the opportunity to improve their lot in life and who were not expecting han- douts from the state. A secondary complaint is that immigrants take away jobs that would otherwise be held by Canadians. Consider yourself a pro- spective immigrant from what is known as a developed country con- templating leaving that country for Canada. Culturally that immigrant would be giving up what he or she is accustomed to. Whereas this once might have been outweighed by the greater opportunity for achievement and advanee- ment available in Canada, today Canadian taxation levels and government economic regulation, con- trol and interference have reached very high levels and the economic vibrancy which once existed is no more. On the other hand, there are countries with mori- bund economies where there is invariably a high level of government regulation, control and in- terference in the economy. These are generally known as developing countries. If you are a prospective im- migrant from one of these countries, Canada by com- parison seems very appeal- ing. However, appealing as it may seem for the am- bitious from developing countries, it is even more appealing for the lazy or non-productive from those countries because of the numerous social en- titlements which can be received in Canada. The lazy non-productive from developed countries are less likely to be attracted to Canada as these countries also tend to have generous social entitlements. Canadians are unlikely to object to liberal immigra- tion policies if the type of immigrant Canada receives is one who is perceived as coming for economic opportunity rather than being perceiv- ed as one who comes to rip off our social entitlements system. This can be achieved on- ly by reducing taxation. eliminating government in- terference in economic life and eliminating social en- titlements. Under these conditions Canada would be a more attractive place for immigrants from all over the world who are am- bitious and wish to be pro- ductive and would become a less attractive place for the slothful. Far from tak- ing jobs away from Cana- dians, such immigrants can only be of economic benefit to Canada. .'1,�5 .: : L�h�f'.':r: t�'V :�':1{'1...:.L9i S I':•t.� :......1 J :K-'. t::.'t: t:�. diluted standards and dubious teactung methods are largely to blame for students who are less educated than their par encs says the blistering 90 -page report by the Coali- tion for Education Reform ICER), an umbrella organization of severe On - tat io education reform 1rou;)s. In an open challenge to the Royal Commission, the report's authors charge that only radical change can repair a school system in which "academic achievement - central to the average citizen's con- ception of what school is all about - is so far down the list of priorities as to be almost invisible." Entitled "Could Do Bet- ter: What's Wrong with Public Education in On- tario and How to Fix It", the report marshals volumes of national as well as international studies and surveys in its case against what it sees as deep, structural flaws in Ontario's public education system, specifically: The lack of set cur- riculum with specific academic goals so that stridents and par ents know what is to be learned as well as hew and when it it is to be learned; The absence of standar- dized testing which will ac- curately assess students' academic programs; The focus on teaching of "values" instead of academic skills; and The child -centered ap- proach to learning rather than teacher-(hrected in- struction. The CER says the report, which took over a vear to research and prepare, will be widely distributed to school boards, teachers' organizations, federal and provincial politicians as well as parent, ratepayer and business groups. Barry Kavanagh, one of the authors of the report, said the timing of its release is quite deliberate. "We are releasing this report 12 days before municipal elections for school board trustees and less than 12 months before a provincial election as a reminder to all candidates and parties that the de- mand and the momentum for education reform is growing. Citizens For Public Justice Talk To The Government in presentations to two key House of Commons committees recently, Citizens for Public Justice called on the government to integrate fiscal and social policy reform based on the principles of compassion, justice, fairness and stewardship. National Public Affairs Director Gerald Vandezande expressed his concern that the government's preoccupation with fiscal deficit reduction might overwhelm other pressing concerns: "CPJ agrees with the government that steps need to be taken to eliminate the deficit," said Vandezande. "But there are also human and environmental deficits which urgently need to be addressed. They are just as important as the fiscal deficit." Vandezande urged the Liberals not to forget their Red Hook assertion that `one of the greatest failings of the Conservative government has been the tendency to focus obsessively on one problem, such as the deficit or inflation, without understanding or caring about the consequences of their policies in other areas such as lost jobs, increased poverty. and dependence on social assistance. Social costs are real." "The fundamental economic restructuring taking place in Canada today is increasing the demand on the social security system at precisely the same time that fiscal deficit concerns are being used by many to justify dismantling the system," said Research Director Stephanie Baker Collins at her Oct. 31 appearance, with Vandezande, before the Standing Committee on Human Resources Development. "CPJ agrees that income security programs need to be reformed," said Baker Collins, "but the reforms proposed by Mr. Axworthy fail to address the reality of too few jobs. Additional areas for reform include the benefit and job security needs of part- time workers and the need to distribute work opportunties more equitably." CPJ urged that the recommendations of the Standing Committees on Finance and on Social Security Reform be harmonized and integrated so that both seek the same goals of human and environmental well-being. "Without policy integration, economic policies will continue to work at cross- purposes with social programs." explained Baker Collins. CPJ urged that the government -s review of tax expenditures focus on making the tax system more equitable. Specifically. CPJ urged the government to review and eliminate or reallocate unfair tax write-offs, exemptions and deferrals for middle and upper income individuals and for businesses. '"Tax expenditures that are currently being used to unfairly subsidize those who don't need it should be reallocated to poor people and to pay off the debt," said Vanderrande. One such expenditure targeted by CPJ is the RRSP income tax deferral, which costs the government $14.9 billion annually and which benefits primarily middle and upper income earners. CPJ urged that the maximum armual tax deductible RRSP contribution be lowered from the current ceiling of $12,500 to a figure more in line with the average contribution of $2.567. Equally important, argued CPJ, is the conversion into tax credits of RRSP and child care tax deductions. The tax system should also be used to encourage environmentally healthy production and consumption, said CPJ in its Nov. 4 presentation to the Standing Committee on Finance (see "Fairness is Paramount": : An integrated approach to the debt) . CPJ urged the government to implement "green taxes" that penalize polluters. "Green taxes generate new revenues for debt reduction at the same time as reducing pollution and its effects, and giving firms and households an incentive to make waste -reducing and energy-saving investments." explained Researcher David Peters -Woods. "Green taxes thus have the double benefit of simultaneously reducing debt and pollution, to the advantage of both present and future generations." As well. CPJ urged the government to reform the way the Unemployment Insurance program is funded. Currently, the employers' contribution to the UI fund is based on payroll. The fewer employees a company has, the lower its Ui contributions. "This is built-in disincentive to companies to hire workers, and an incentive to automate," said Peters -Woods. CPJ argued that responsibility for funding income security programs should be distributed equitably among all those participants whose actions affect the income security of Canadian households. One wav to do this, proposed by CPJ, is to base Ul contributions on value-added rather than an payroll. This would begin to address the problem of chronic unemployment in Canada.

Oct. 6. The weather was perfect for the 104 golfers that participated in the event. Golfers got great tips at the Pro Golf Clinic and then enjoyed a BBQ lunch before they rode off in their golf carts to wait for a "shot -Rum" start at 1 p.m. In the evening, the tournament buffet dinner "re -fueled" everyone as they cheered on the winners or prizes that were donated by local businesses. This year the tournament raised over $14.000 for SPLC's Adult Day Program. This financial support allows SPLC to continue offering a third day to their Adult Day Program. The program enables frail elderly seniors to have a day out at the Centre to play stimulating games, meet new people and enjoy a hot lunch. In the last 6 years Cedar Brae's charity golf tournament has raised over $120.000 for SPLC. Their efforts are so valuable to the Centre's operations. SPLC would like to thank the Cedar Brae Golf and Country Chub, tournament organizers and sponsors and of course all the golfers. Above.

The college is the first in Canada to receive the honour. A delegation from the Milwaukee based foundation visited Centennial in June to review the program curriculum and facilities. Having measured up to the foundation's thigh Leading Architect Is Speaker Janet Rosenberg, one of Toronto's leading land- scape architects, will be speaking at the Civic Garden Centre, 777 Lawrence Ave. E. ( located in Edwards Gardens) on Thurs. Nov. 24 at 7:30 p.m. Janet is founder and prin- cipal of Janet Rosenberg and Associates Landscape Architects. For the last 14 years, she has created both residen- tial and commercial gardens throughout Southern Ontario. Commis- sions have included 24 Sussex Drive, The Park Plaza Hotel and York University. Janet is cur- rently the landscape and horticultural consultant to Loblaws Supermarkets Limited and continues to design many other com- mercial and residential developments as well as residential commissions. For the past 7 years, many of her residential gardens have been featured on the Civic Garden Centre's yearly garden tour. Through The Garden Gate. Most recent- ly, Janet has been honoured with the Gover- nor General Medal recognizing her contribu- tion to the community and to Canada. With a strong background in site develop- ment and conceptual and standards, students of the automation and robotics pe oltram now become eligible for the foundation's scholarship funds. School of Engineering Technoli and Transportation dean Woody Manery credits the recognition to the program's aggressive advisory committee• made up of representatives of robotics and pneumatics manufacturers throughout Metro. who ensure the program is relevant and up- todate. "It's a great example of what employers can do when they join forces with their local college." he said. "Our graduates can look forward to strong demand for their skills because the manufacturers had a role in specifying the skills set." Manery says Centennial is renewing its efforts to attract more employers onto its advisory committees. Almost every full-time program offered by the college benefits from a program advisory committee. 816 OR suALL; KE Lao IrALL! CROSS MOVERS Offices, houses 8 opts.

Nov. 7 the Grade 11 dance class and a group of other student musicians and dancers performed on the O'Keefe Stage in front of a full house. These students put much time and effort into the grueling practices to create a dynamic performance of modern dance and music centered around the theme of fire. The students responded appropriately and were respectful to all groups while part of the audience. They were model am- bassadors for Pearson. Lastly I would like to thank all the students involved for their time and dedica- tion and to the teachers for their cooperation. Special thanks to those teachers who were at the O'Keefe on Nov. 7th for their support and encouragement. TUTORIAL WORKSHOP Do you never know where to begin your big project or independent study?

The CD takes its title from Robert Evan's exciting carol, and includes 2.0 other carols ranging from such traditional ones as "Hark the Herald Angels Sing" to less familiar but equally enjoyable ones such as "Tomorrow Shall Be My Dancing Day„ by John Gardner Lydia Adams, who er celebrates h10th anniversary as conductor of the Amadeus Chair, has invited British mezzo- soprano Catherine Wyn- Rogers as guest soloist with the choir to perform "O Holy Night", in a new arrangement written especially for this recording by Cape Bretoner Stuart Calvert. The arrangement for soloist, choir, organ and brass quintet, is one of the many highlights of the CD. Soloist Catherine Wyn- Rogers also joins the Amadeus Choir in singing the well -loved favourite, "Away in a Manager", arranged by Canadian choral conductor Dr. Elmer Iseler. The CD also features many new carols written over the past seven years by winners of the annual Amadeus Choir Christmas Carol Competition, which awards prizes in several categories for original compositions by adults, youth and children.

Youth Assisting Youth, now has a waiting list of 380 children which it cannot ac- commodate due to a short fall and budget restraint from the local funding charity agencies. On Oct. 26 Youth Assisting Youth received an award from the Com- munity Foundation of Greater Toronto for its "Safe City Initiative" which is a project of Prevention of Juvenile Delinquency "Keeping Kids out of the Justice System" and in School. Sally Spencer, Executive Director stated "The award has enhanced our agency to a higher plateau and given such personal rewards to our Youth Volunteers ( age 16 to 24 ) that it hurts to see such a worthwhile project lose its funding, just when we are beginning to make inroads into this community and its families." With the projected cut backs, Youth Assisting Youth will not be able to move forward in helping 380 children who are con- sidered "at risk" Tickets may be purchas- ed by calling ( 416) 932-1919, for $50 donation.

Borden News Business & Technical Institute The Grade 9 Transition Year students at Sir Robert L_ Borden B.T.I. have just completed exams and are awaiting their report cards. One such student is Mur- ray Leblanc. 15, in his first year at Sir Robert L. Borden B.T.I. He has recently also completed the Ontario province -wide Grade 9 Reading and Writing Test with all the other grade 9 students in the province. Murray Leblanc was born in Kitchener where he completed kindergarten to Grade 2 and then moved to Cape Breton where he says, " Ibere wasn't too much to do. There were no bases and we had to walk or take the car everywhere... He moved to Scarborough in 1945. "I like Scarborough much better, - says Murray Leblanc, "there is lots of stuff to do in Scarborough, baseball, other sports and I have made friends. I have a best friend named Mike. - Murray Leblanc comes to Sir Robert L. Borden B.T.I. from Joseph Brant Public School where he knew everyone, but he has found the transition to Borden enjoyable. In par- ticular he enjoys gym classes, basketball, hockey and other sports. He is on the basketball team and the wrestling team. Art is one of his favourite subjects because he enjoys drawing. Right now his art class is learning the colour wheel and doing landscape painting. He is also taking English and Food Services where he has learned to make hamburgers, lasagna and french fries. He is explor- ing what is offered in high school and is not sure what career direction he wants to follow, he just knows that he wants to go on to college. Murray Leblanc says, "I like Borden because I don't get much homework right now, except in English. Lunch hour could be longer, but I like the atten- dance policy. You have to go to school and you have to be on time. I'm not away a lot. I passed all my courses so I am happy." Career Week As part of Career Week '94 at Sir Robert L. Borden B.T.I., coming up Nov. 29 to Dec. 2, the Guidance Department hss arranged for a number of speakers to visit and talk to students about their specialty.

United Way Fundraiser On Nov. 15, to support United Way, the students and staff at Borden held a wet sponge toss. Under the direction of K. Brimbie, teachers got soaked at 50 cents per sponge or three sponges for a borne. Judg- ing from the wet and dnpp- ing staff wandering the balk after lunch, the toss was a great success.

Jones' Grade 10 English class, are going to visit the Dinosaur Mania show at Exhibition Place.

Pickering's Wesingi A Chess Champion Estonian born Uno H. Wesingi (Pickering -2046 Rating -Candidate Master) is letting his chessplaying competitors know that he is back on the warpath, so to speak, by scoring a perfect 7-0 score to win the 1994 West Hill Invitational Chess Tournament, an $-player single roundrobin event, and the first major completed event on the 19941996 joint calendar of events conducted by the West Hill Chess Club and the interregional A.W.H.P.A.W.O.

The Filipino -born Soriano (Scarborough -19129 Rating -Class A) finished in clear second place this year with a 6-1 score, losing only to the wily Wesingi. A further 1.5 points back in third spot was Jose T. •Macaranas (Scarborough -1892 Rating - Class A); fourth place fell to Bob Hamilton (Scarborough -1931 Rating - Class A) with 4-3. The other 4 participants finished below the 50% mark. "Uno turned on the jets again and reminded all of us that he is indeed capable of playing superb tourna- ment chess," said Tourna- ment Arbiter and Club President John W. Puusa.

November zit, 1"4 Bill Watt's Worlds ON YOUR TOES: Franz Lehdr's The Merry Widow is no doubt considered decadent by fools who lean to the left. It isn't, of course. It's a delightful remembrance of Western society's golden time before the Great War: a time when there were on- ly two classes - the privileg- ed and the more or less complacent. The Victor Leonard and Leo Stein story line aside, LeMr's score has survived because it's a joyful one that lends itself com- pulsively to singing and dancing. So, it was all of a piece that Ronald Hynd and Robert Helpmann should collaborate on choreography and scenario to create a ballet version of the love and lovely story of Hanna, die lustige witme and her dashing Count Damlo. Add new. lush orchestra - bons by John Lanchberry and Alan Abbott: sump- tuous set and costume design by Desmond Heeley: the sensuous lighting of Michael Whit- field and you have the delightful confection presented by the National Ballet of Canada ( NBC) at The O' Keefe. On the evening of our at- tendance, Karen Kain and Rex Harrington in the leading roles were quite literaally dazzling. Miss Kain was particularly win - as one saw her in the contrasting personae of the young peasant girl and the wordly widow. Mr. Har- rington was properly noble but also boyishly charming and amusing. And, that's *9 - just' - their acting. As dancers, well they're in- describable in grace. line and technique. Matching there step for step were Margaret Illman and Raymond Smith ai the Baron's young wife and her true love. Such is the sweetness of their love, ex- pressed in dance, that one quite forgets cuckoldry is afoot. A kudo, too, for Johan Persson leading the Pontevedrian dancers with strength and agility. Oh, one could go on endlessly about this wonderful ballet but the message would still be the same. Other enter- tainments - some better perhaps - will come and go but The Merry Widow ballet will be with us always. May it always be as presented by the NBC. ON STAGE ONE: Your Column is crazy for Crazy For You at the Royal Alex and repeat attendance is pleasurable in the ex- treme. This Gershwin song and dance joy just keeps getting better and better. Dirk Lumbard is the new male lead and we were there to see him in his debut. Like his predecessor. he's a fine comedian, good singer and a dancer of brilliance. His tapping is dynamic and his body moves, positively balletic. The role continues in good hands ...and feet. The over all roll of the show continues as well. Our companion remarked that everyone on stage seems to be enjoying themselves. We had it confirmed after the show in conversation with some of the ladies of the chorus. They are in- deed happy at their work ... eight performances every five days• plus rehearsals. Amazing - Audiences are happy. too, as Crap• For You cat- tinues to be the best show in town. ON STAGE TWO: The current presentation of the Native Earth Perfor- ming Arts Company at the Native Canadian Centre is Someday by Drew Hayden Taylor. The Someday refers to the time when a native woman still on the reservation will fund and be reunited with her daughter who had been taken from her as an infant by well in- tended but typically bumbl- ing bureaucracy. (La plus ca change') That Someday occurs at Yuletide when she. her other daughter and the daughter's boyfriend conte together. Now. this isn't Stella Dallas or East Lynne. There's no melodrama here. There is sadness and tenderness but there's also the leavening of humour. Watching and enjoying the play, sometimes it's dif- ficult to know if ore's tears are of laughter. sadness or frustration over continuing government interference in our lives. One certainty is admira- tion for the production - Doris Liddater handles her first directorial assign- ment with great precision under challenging coutdi- tions. The performances of the cast could hardly be im- proved- Lee Maracle is the mother awaiting reunion with her lost daughter Around and About Your Dining &Entertainment Guide while presiding - yes, presiding - over her home and remaining daughter. She's dignified but not stuf- fy, loving but never cloy- ing. In another setting she might well be the matriarch of White Oaks. The daughter who returns is played by Pamela Matthews with a highly veneered sophistica- tion that seems natural. See the play to know what we mean. Columba Bobb is refreshing as the other daughter ... refreshing in appearance and in her practicality. Herbi Barnes is the boyfriend and chorus nar- rator. As the farmer, he's a bit of a nit - intentionally. As the latter he provides humour as a palliative for poignancy - Someday is a fine play that will be critically ac- claimed. One hopes that it will also receive commer- cial success ... now! Not some day. IN VIEW: It was 10 a.m. and we were pleasurably noshing on breakfast pastries and sipping electric orange juice from a psychedelic blue wine glass. Then, came the invitation to enter the Arden Forest at- mosphere of the Winter Garden Theatre. The occasion? A media conference to meet, ques- tion and schmoome with the creative team that's bring- ing The Who's Tommy to The Elgin. (Rehearsals begin Jan. 11th, previews out Feb. 20th and the official opening is Mar. Ist). What most impressed was the easy and confident demeanour of the team. No question was too mundane: no answer, too pretentious. Pete Townshend, the com- poser and co-author, when asked for example, about a marquee name. stated unequivocally but hurourously that "famous Rock stars are spoiled brats-. After the more or less formal conference we spoke with the choreographer Wayne Cilento and can report on the questions most often asked of him. His surname is pronounced Sillento not Chilento. He's not related to actress Diane Cilento, former wife of Sean Con- nery. He has indeed ap- peared previously in Toronto as a dancer, most notably with Chita Rivera. He's enthusiastic about Tommy as is the rest of the team. The enthusiasm is in- fectious: we're now impa- tient for the opening. IN CONCERT: The season of Yuletide entertainment is upon us. An early entry is The Col- ors (sic!) of Christmas at Massey Hall on Nov. 29th. Peabo Bryson, new mother Sheena Easton, Roberta Flack and James Ingram accompanied by a full or- chestra ( just what is a "full orchestra"?) and a children's choir will sing over two hours of Christmas music. Sheena is. of cause, a charming Scottish name but this correspondent best remembers it as the name of a comic book heroine Sheena, Queen of The Jungle. Should be a swingin' evening - ON THE HORIZON: The United Nations - originally known as the United Nations Organiza- tion - will celebrate its 50th anniversary nett year. As part of the celebra- tions, Canada will produce and present Noye's Fludde (Noah's Flood). This will be a touring production of the 16th century Chester Miracle Plav set to the music of Benjamin Britten and performed by a cast of 140 which will include the Scarborough Schools Con- cert Choir of 80 children led by Lee Willingham. The Toronto perfor- mances, in association with the Canadian Opera Com- pany. are scheduled for St. Anne's Anglican Church before moving on to Mon- treal. Ottawa and San Francisco. Bravo!, the new style arts channel will broadcast a television version of Noah's Flood. We'll provide more details from time to time but for the present, we wanted to acknowledge the inclusion of the Scar- borough Schools Concert Choir.

Jeremiah Becker, a hunter and trapper, in 1848, Abigail settled on the south shore of Long Point, a long, nar- row peninsula stretching out into Lake Erie. The tricky winds and shifting sandbars of long Point were always a menace to passing ships, especially in the age of the sail. On the night of November 24, 1854, an icy storm descended on Long Point. Early the next day, Abigail saw that the storm had claimed a victim. The sailing ship Conductor bad run aground on a nearby sandbar, and the crew were clinging to the shattered wreck. Abigail built a fire on the beach and waded shoulder -high into the icy water. She beckoned the eight terrified men to come asbore. The captain plunged in first and Abigail caught his hand and dragged him ashore. Next came the first mate and when Abigail's son, Edward, refused to enter the surf because he could not swim. The next mor- ning the storm eased. The men built a raft and paddled out to save; the cook. He had tied himself to the frozen rigging. wandered into HEUMGF, II -.Rb FOU %[,AF!J` the raging surf to help him, Abi- P R O l E c: r gail had to res- cue both of them. One by one, Abigail coaxed the other men ashore, put them by the fire, wrapped them in warm clothes and fed them tea. Only the cook ab, New York. The crew loudly praised Abigail's hero- ism when they returned to their homes in Buff - They raised $500 to reward her, enough in those days for Abigail to buy a house and farm.

The New York Lifesaving Benevolent Association struck a special gold medal for her and she received a bronze medal from the Royal Humane Society in England. This was not the only time Abigail was called on to save lives. She came to the aid of six other shipwrecked sailors and she saved the life of a boy who had fallen down a well. Sadly, she was not there to save her husband who perished at Long Point in a winter storm. Through it all, Abigail raised 19 children. Today Abigail Becker's farm is part of the Abigail Becker Con- servation area on Long Point. among others. Get out the VCRs for this one. ART SEEN: Angels are very big now in a commercial sense and one has reservations about it all. Whether or not one chooses to believe in their existence is up to the in- dividual and one can't truly quarrel with that. But, if one does, then should the objects of sincere beliefs be ex- plolited for commercial gain, All of which brings us to Angelic Renaissance. That's an exhibition of angels in the art of contem- porary artists. It begins next Tuesday at the Car- rier Gallery and will run until Jan. 8th. One wonders if the ex- cellent adjacent restaurant in the Columbus Centre will have Angel Cake or Devil's Food Cake on the menu. Perhaps some devilled ham? TRAVEL NOTES: The Global Village con- tinues to grow. The ex- cellent magazine, Travel In Taiwan advises that in the southern tip of Taipei's urban scrawl, there lies the city of Kungkuan. Its cen- tre is the T. shaped in- tersection of Roosevelt Road and Hsingsheng South Road. Within steps of it one can eat at McDonalds, Ken- tucky Fried Chicken, Sizzlers and one of the restaurants of the Yungho Bean Milk franchises.
