nuclear regulatory agency,
will hold a public meeting
on Feb. 1 in the Pickerir*
Civic Complex, begin kig
at 7 p.m.
The purpose of the
meeting is to give area
residents an opportunity to
meet representatives of the
AECB and to obtain infor-
mation on the nuclear

related health and safety
standards that are applied.

type meeting, most of the
(: ening will be devoted to
questions and comments
from the audience. AECB
president Dr. Agnes Bishop
and senior staff members
will be on hand to respond
directly to the public.

received a number of ex-
pressions of concern from
local elected officials. in-
terest groups and in-
dividual members of the
public regarding the licenss-
ing of the Pickering
nuclear generating station.
In considering the various
issues brought forward, the
board recognized that it
needed to innprove com-
munications with the
public and provide more
opportunity for pudic input
into the licensing process.
As one of the methods to
achieve this, the board
decided to Mid more of its
meetings away from Ot-
tawa, and in particular to
bold one or more public
meetings in each cornmuuii-
ty near a major facility
during the licensing period
for that facility.
The public meeting in
Pickering will take place
on Wed. Feb. 1, from 7 to

Chamber of the Pickering
Civic Complex. Light

portunity for personal ex-
changes will be available

Opinion

for you and us
For Better Education
by Bob Watson
The Hoyal Commission on Learning has come up with a
large number of new ideas for change in our educational
system in a very short period of time.
in our opinion most of the recommendations are very good
but there are a few which should be analyzed more to make
sure we are not asking for more problems.
First of allwe don't believe that establishing a grade for
3 Year olds should be approved. Using an expensive
educational system for such Young people will not produce a
better educational result. And we believe that grade 13 is
necessary to give one more Year to prepare our young people
for their adult journey through life.
The most important fact about our educational system is
that we have no effective discipline. Ever since parents and
school teachers and principals were banned from providing
punishment for students who are not obeying the rules of
studying and behaviour. the quality of our young people
graduating from high school has been lessened.
Another problem from the past is the way high school final
examinations are handled. Back in the past a student's final
exam papers were marked by a group of Ontario teachers.
not his or her own teacher. It seemed fairer to have a teacher
who doesn't know the student marking the final exam
papers
in short, discipline is essential to produce the right attitude
in school and quality of instruction is also necessan. to
produce young people ready for their adult lives.

To the Editor:
An open letter to my !Member of Parliament. Sarkis
As_sadourian from Dorn Valley North.
At last federal election campaign was the first in which I
was old enough to vote. 1 researched all the candidates
and spoke to people working on some of their campaigns.
Your campaign said that you were running for parliament in
order to be a community representative who would try to do
what was best for our riding and country rather than blindly
supporting the government and the Liberal party. For this
reason. i decided to vote for you. not for the Liberal Party.
but for you as my representative on Parliament Hill.
When Lloyd Axworthy- proposed changes to the funding of
universities I decided to teiepb(ww you to obtain more
information and to express my concerns on what i did know
After calling your office three times over a month, you
finally responded When we spoke on Jan 19th, i discovered
that a transformation had occurred. You were hostile.
ermfrontatio nal. and uninformative Throughout our
conversation. all you did was to quote the
government Liberal viewpoint without any indication that
vow cared about my concerns or about our community
You questioned my facts and demanded proof. thereby
questioning my- integrity, even when i quoted from and full
referenced a newspaper article which quoted Mr AxA-orthv
You blamed universities and the (Mtano government for the
problems without ever taking resporisibility for federal
government decisions You contradicted yourself on
whether or not tuition fees would rise as a result of federal
government actions
What happened to your community representation' Why
did _vow treat me as if I were an ignorant and unreliable pest'
Do you reall care what *our constituents think' i am
surprised at and disappointed in your actions. and

Throw Bob Rae Out Metro Council News
Dear Editor: from Norm Kelly
Sometime this year. Ontario's voters will have the Councillor Scarborough -Wexford
opportunity to throw Bob Rae's inept socialists out of Queen's
Park .w...weer.eweaeae�rawewwewraraweraeaea
While the NDP's re-election plans will focus on Bob Rae's
charisma and the false premise that "Ontario is working
again because of the NDP", we will be working to inform
Ontarians of the damage the NDP has done to this province
during the past four Years.
Thanks to the NDP. our provincial debt has doubled to over
$90 billion and is growing by $1 million an hour.
During the past four years. the NDP has also proudly
proclaimed anti -business legislation which helped drive up
the number of unemployed people to a reported 530,000 in
1994 from 3.11.000 in 19%.
The jobs that have been created are the result of freer
trade (which Bob Rae and the NDP campaigned against)
and a lower dollar which has boosted exports. Still, the NDP
is taking credit for a recovery they didn't help one bit to
advance. Their so called "Jobs Ontario" plan has been a
multi-million dollar, often pork -barrelling, debt increasing
fiasco from the very start.
While this scheme was supposed to get people off welfare.
the number of people collecting social assistance has
increased by about 3.006 a week since the NDP was elected.
The socialist party of Bob Rae during the past four years
has also displayed their utter contempt of democracy by
utilizing a dictatorial measure known as "closure" to forbid
the legislature from fully debating 20 government bills. (In
comparison, the Conservatives used closure three times in 40
Years while the Liberals used this undemocratic move four
times I -
Bills dealing with photo radar. casinos ( something the
NDP campaigned against while in opposition) and
Employment (In) Equity were all rammed through by this
"democratic" party which didn't want the public to be fully
informed of the tar -reaching nature of their legislative
agenda.
Of course. Bob Rae's "democratic" party is also the same
one that attempted to eradicate the billboards we placed in
NDP ridings across the province during the past four years
to inform Ontarians. of the destructive social. economic and
political policies of this government.
The NDP felt so threatened by these billboards that they
passed changes to the Highway Traffic Act to forbid the
placement of all "non-commercial" billboards along King's
Highways in Ontario. When we launched legal action against
this totalitarian change. the NDP revised the Act's
regulations several weeks before it was due to he heard in
court last September
We share the same New f'ear's resolution held hy- many
( )ntarians - "to vote out Bob Rae and the NDP in 1995" We
have experienced enough evidence that socialism is a failure
not only in Eastern Europe but in Ontario as well

Becoming a special friend to a needy child has given me
man rewards. The kind of rewards I'm talking about have
nothing to do with money, it's a feeling - a feeling of pride I
get for helping a less fortunate person than myself. This is a
feeling money can't bring.

Thank You for your support during the election. I listened
to all vour concerns as i went from door to door and i will
attempt to represent you as accurately as possible.
one of the first major issues i will face is the extension of
the Scarborough Rapid Transit line i SRTI : to build it or not?
Right now the line ends at McCowan Station, just east of the
Scarborough Citv Centre. The extension would swing slightly
east and then north to finish at Sheppard Ave. and Markham
Rd.
To date, tax increases have been approved by Metro
Council for the construction of two new subway lines. one on
Eglinton, the other on Sheppard Avenue. You will be paving
approximately $10.50 per year for the next ten years, to
build these lines.
There is a feeling in Metro that two more rapid transit lines
should be built. one heading north to York University. the
other being the Scarborough Rapid Transit line. The
construction of the lines will create .jobs and, hopefully spur
development investment in the surrounding communities.
There is also the opinion that Metro will never be able to
build these lines as cheaply as we can now. Due to the
recession. construction labour is very cheap. reducing costs.
More importantly. the Province is offering to pay for 75% of
the subways. There is. therefore, an opportunity which may
never be available again.
Right now. you have the opportunity to play a part in the
decision to build the Scarborough Rapid Tran nsit line. The
extension will cost approximately $442 million dollars to
build of which Metrowill pay for approximately $110 million.
the province will pay for the rest. Your share will be a tax
increase of $15A) per year, for 10 years. The basic question is.
would you be willing to pay this extra amount for the
extension of the Scarborough Rapid Transit?
To gather vour views i am holding a public meeting on
Thurs. Feb. 2. at Wexford Public School (south west corner
of Lawrence and Pharmacy. on Pharmacv) from 7:30 to 9
p.m Please attend the meeting or call the office at 392-4047. i
am interested in what you have to say.
Now Some Good News
About Africa
by Krn Forbrs
World Vision Metro Toronto
Early February has been earmarked as a time to talk
aheut internal iortal Development. So what?
In the midst of negative news images from Rwanda and
other dismal African stories presented each night by our
televisions. let me offer a slightly different view of African
development - with a Scarborough twist.
Exactly to years ago the images of staring Ethopians
flooxied our television screens. Manv called it a famine of
biblical proportions. It was. After the television cameras
disappeared. relief agencies, in partnership with local
communities, turned to agriculture. afforestation, water
programs and health care for long-term solution-, to
Ethiopia's ills. The goal' To prevent a rerun of Ethiopia's
horrible images
Although our successes in Ethiopia are only a beginning,
they are significant to the farmers who are now living hevond
the subsistence level Damota 1, a project funded by :10 hour
Famine participants from the Scarborough area. is one of
those successes. last year students from across (Mtario
raised $6621 ion) for programs like Damota t through the
annual:*) hour Famine event.
(iver the years, villagers had stripped Damota region of its
trees for shelter and firewood to cook meals. Today. through
education and village -organized tree nurseries, thousands- of
trees dot the countryside. New soil conservation techniques-
and
echniquesand practical irrigation projects have given farmers the
edge in fighting the periodic droughts which plague Africa.
All this was done by Ethiopian villagers with the assistance
of Ethopian agriculturalists. Although the funding came
from the Scarborough area, the work was done by Ethiopians
themselves. That is development.
Good news stories like this don't make great TV images.
Thev rarely even make the news, but for me it's much more
exciting than any fast breaking newelip from Bosnia or
Rwanda.
As I ponder Development Week. i see a glimmer of hope
reflected in the good works of the Ontario students who took
part in the 30 hour Famine. These kids did more than talk -
thev acted. Their actions teach us that caring means
involvement. Caring means working with others. And caring
means sacrifice. That too is development.

1995 Variety Telethon From Variety Village
Variety -The Children's
Charity's 15th annual
Telethon is receiving a face-
lift. Instead of the
traditional 24 hour event
viewers are used to, the
Telethon has been
revamped into a one day
affair.
"We wanted to bring the
show into the '90's, Telethon
Producer Jerry Appleton
explains, ..Audiences today
have busy lives, we want to
give them the same great
entertainment in one day
instead of two. The new.
slick fast -paced show will
attract a new generation of
donors." The Telethon.
which will air Feb.5th,
raises millions of dollars for
challenged children
province -wide.
The Telethon's format is
not the only thing that has
changed, the show also has
a new home. Instead of
producing the show from a
Toronto based hotel.
Variety is moving the
Telethon to Variety Village
Sports Training and Fitness
Centre. The Centre is a one
of a kind facility providing
fitness and training
opportunities to disabled
and disadvantaged children
province -wide.
Variety wants to give the
audience a first hand look at
the good work the charity
does. "Broadcasting the
Telethon from Variety
Village will bring our
television audience closer to
the Variety family,"
observes Variety President
Gordon Josie "and, there is
no better way to do this than
invite thousands of
television viewers to visit
Variety Village via their
television screen."
Will the shorter hours
detract from the donations
Variety is used to receiving
over the traditional 24 hour
format? "Most of our
donors are loyal to the
children and it will) not
matter to them whether it is
a 24 hour or an 8 hour show
as long as it helps the kids,"
states Appleton, "And, our
donors will be pleased to
learn that a shorter show
will be cheaper to produce
which translates into more
money for Variety's special
children. it's a win-win
situation...
Since 1980 Variety has
raised millions of dollars for
children with special needs
in the province of Ontario
through this annual event.
The charity relies on the
generosity of the public
during its Telethon to
provide hurling and
services to children with
special needs, inchding the
physically and mentally
challenged. or children who
require complex medical
care. regardless of race.
creed or colour.

Postering Signs On Hydro Poles
The City of Scarborough has installed plastic frames on
utility poles to allow for the postering of messages.
This Community Service is provided as a means of
enhancing the appearance of Scarborough's streetscape.
while allowing for public expression in a manner that meets
the Communities expectations of a clean, safe City.
As directed by Council, the boundaries for this 6 month trial
area are Sheppard Avenue in the north, Lawrence Avenue in
the south, east to Markham Road and west to Kennedy
Road. The maximum size for a poster is 8112" x 11" and only

poles and bus shelters.
Any signs which are not posted on the designated utility
poles will be removed by City staff.

Used Car Buyers Beware!
by M.H. Parrut
Many of you may be con-
sidering buying a used car, now
or in the future. Asking the right
questkms an be a consumer's
best weapon. For example, has
this car been written off as a
wreck, patched together and re-
sold^
Beyond the economic dis-
aster of ending up with a worth-
less car, there is a major safety.
concern. After an accident. ars
arc written off by an insurance
company because the cost to
repair would be higher than the
value of the vehicle. The
owner's claim is scaled by the
insurance company and the ve-
hick is either sold to an auto
recycling business or at an auc-
tion.
'lnsurmice companies as a
whole agree that once a car is
written off for salvage, it should
be indicated on the registration.
Otherwise, at this point the ve-
hicle's history as a wreck disap-
pears," says George Westlake.
stational fraud manager for
Co-operators General Insurance.
We would like to see legislation
that requires the ownership regis-
tration to specify that the vehicle
was previously salvaged."
As it stands now, many of
these ars are bought, fixed up
and then resold to either a
dealership or to an unsuspecting
consumes You could be driving
one of these cars and not even
know it.
At first inspection, the car
may have a nice finish, the
doors fit well and it handles
fine. But these exterior features
do not mean that it has a sound
body. In fact, these vehicles are
often dangerous.
By dangerous, we mean sit-
uations where these cars have
been known to break in half
when they hit a large pothole or
worse, crumble in an accident.
Today, most cars use a uni-
fied body construction where
the body and the frame are all
one piece (rather than the tradi-
tional separate body and frame
bolted together). Although dif-
frcuit to measure until tested in
a crash, the structural integrity
of a car is changed once bent,
stnightenod and welled.
Scvcre damage to the frame
makes restoration of the origi-
nal strength very difficult and
expensive. This provides the
opportunity for someone to cut
corners by just making cosmetic
repairs.
Right now, a wrecked car an
be rebuilt and sold legally.
Canadian provinces have no
tick separate from the registra-
tion, so there is no way to trace
a wrecked car. BC. Alberta and
Quebec have the toughest laws,
but even they are fraught with
loopholes and minor penalties,
and stone of them deal with
vehicles that come from outside
of their own province. So for
most Canadians, there's no way
of funding out if a vehicle has
been salvaged.
Keep your eyes open for out -
of -province identification—like
a dealer sticker on the rear, a
licence plate frame—revealing
where the vehicle was once
sold.
To tell if a car may have been
rebuilt, there are many telltale
signs which can be spotted by a
trained eye:
• paint over -spray around the
edges
• paint on plastic panels, which
was not originally painted
• paint quality—check door
jambs, hood, etc., where most
body shops do not bother to
repaint
• body panel surface ripples
will appear if it's been re-
paired
• body panel fit - should be an
even fit around each panel
• trim on and around body
should also fit properly and
symmetrically
• a good fit for the front grill
and tail lights
• door locks—key for one
should fn all the other door
locks. If nK, might mean the
lock cylinder or entire door
has been replaced.
• glass replacement m an in-
dication of repair due to
vandalism or crash.
• tire and wheel match
• trunk inside seams should be
svmmetrical
• dash -to -window fa (normally
there is no gap).
Where to check:
• on Level ground
• inside wheel wells
• in engine compartment
• in bottom of trunk
• under body
• door jambs
In addition to checking a ve-
hick, it's not recommended that
you look at it in the rain or at
night. It's a good idea to have a
licensed technician check it
over. Be very specific. tell him
you want to verify what kinds
of things you're going to have
to have repairs done for in the
future; if the vehicle has been in
an accident and damaged; and
that you want a complete me-
chanical report and want to en-
sure there are no problems.
"Ironically, insurance com-
panies sometimes pay twice for
fraud involving salvage ve-
hicles. Once when the car is
written off. Then, when an un-
scrupulous auto recycler certi-
fies the vehicle as roadworthy,
replates it, insures it in another
person's name and reports it
stolen. In actual fact, the vehicle
has not even left the auto recy-
cler's yard," says Westlake.
Consumers have made it
clear to the insurance industry
that they don't want to pay for
auto fraud. Because this crime
goes mostly undetected, it's dif-
ficult to put a dollar figure on
the problem. So there is not only
the potential of serious injury or
the loss of lives, but it also ends
up costing consumers through
higher premiums.

Chiropractic 50 Years
The skies threatened
rain, but nothing could
dampen the spirits of the
200 or so students, faculty
and invited guests who at-
tended a flag -raising
ceremony at the Canadian
Memorial Chiropractic
College (CMCC) on Jan.
19th.
A special anniversary
banner was raised
alongside the Canadian
flag, to commemorate the
college's 50th anniversary.
The Hon. H.N.R. Jackman,
Lieutenant -Governor of
Ontario, then cut the ribbon
to officially re -open the ex-
panded and renovated
Herbert K. Lee Outpatient
Clinic. Dr. Lee, who attend-
ed the ceremony, taught
the very first class at the
college 50 years ago.
"Fifty years ago, the
Newtonbrook.
Participants will include
the Honourary Chairmen
and teams of local
politicians, businesses and
associations.
chiropractic profession
took a step of extraor-
dinary vision," CMCC
President Dr. Jean Moss
remarked to the crowd.
"The flag we have just
raised is a tribute to that vi-
sion. It symbolizes 50 years
of excellence - in education,
research, and in the unity
and strength we have
brought to the chiropractic
profession in Canada."
CMCC was named in
honor of the Canadian -born
founder of chiropractic,
D.D.Palmer. The doors of
the college opened on Sept.
18, 1945, 50 years to the day
after the first chiropractic
adjustment was given. The
largest chiropractic col-
lege in Canada, CMCC is a
member owned, charitable
institution, which receives
no government funding.
Approximately 150
students are graduated
each year from its ac-
credited four year pro-
gram.
NO jobs are too big. No ;obs
are too small. With my
knowledge we do it all. All
types of renovations and
interlocking for reasonable
prices. Call Sergio 438-9110.

Bill Watt's Worlds
IN THE CLUBS:
The title of The Second
City's 30th and latest revue
is Jolly Rogers' Cable or
Pirates In Men's Pants. It
has nothing to do with TV
or Gilbert and Sullivan,
any more than all Strauss
waltzes are descriptive of
their melodic contents
(Wienerblut anyone?) but
that doesn't matter. What
does is that SC has scored
again.
As always, the show is
hilarious: as always, dif-
ficult to describe without
resorting to self-defeating
narrative. After all, there's
no point in reading punch
lines here only to hear
them there. In any case,
Your Column's Pitman's
isn't up to the challenge of
recording them: there are
too many and we're usually
laughing to hard.
Anyway, the sketches
and blackouts. hilarious as
they are in premise and
dialogue. owe their impact
to the delivery of the six
performers. They are -
ladies first - Jackie Harris,
Lori Nasso. Janet Van De
Graaf, Andrew Currie,
Paul O'Sullivan and
Jonathan Wilson. All are
deftly directed by Bruce
Pirrie.
Each one could doubtless
perform as a stand up com-
edian but in fact they're not
comedians per se. They are
htunouurists - there's a dif-
ference - and fine actors.
The relative intimacy of
the Old Firehall where Se-
cond City performs allows
one to see and truly ap-
preciate their wonderful
facial expressions and ex-
pressive body movements.
One can laugh mindlessly
or, like most of their au-
dience. with sophisticated
joy. A trio of sketches
stands out in particular
recollection.
A botched robbery of a
comertience store where
everyone there is carrying
an Uzi ends with the line
"It's a good thing we were
all armed." (Eternal
vigilance, the price of liber-
ty?)
- Then, there's the one
about three ladies in a
synagogue. None of them is
Jewish: one of them is a
nun. "Well, at least vou're
gettin' it."
And finally, there's the
bit about a ne%%iv neutered
tom cat wailing to his
spinster mistress "Eight
more lives with no
gonads." Actually• he
doesn't say gonads: the
word used describes com-
mon spheroids. Get it?
Well then, catch the
show. During a bleak
winter, it's as good as cat-
ching beach balls.
ON STAGE:
Compelling is a word us-
ed often to describe a
legitimate theatre presen-
tation - perhaps too often -
by reviewers disinclined to
find a better one. Yet, it's
the only word that truly
describes The Trojan
Women as presented by
students of the University
College Drama Program at
the Helen Gardiner Phelan
Theatre (79A St. George St.
just south of Hoskins).
To the best of our
knowledge, The Trojan
Women is rarely, if ever,
presented in the original
Greek of Euripides: pro-
bably because only
scholars of the classics can
speak, read or understand
it. Performances are given
accordingly, in modern
Greek or translations into
other languages. They're
not always successful
because classic Greek
doesn't lend itself to
translation. (That's one of
the reasons for some errors
in the beloved King James
version of the Holy Bible i.
So. the play has been the
recipient and, sometimes,
victim of many adapta-
tions. The version reviewed
here is that of the late
Gwendolyn MacEwan. It
properly presorts war as
the horrific business of
cultural and economic
politics that it is whilst
eschewing the tragedy
Euripides intended it to be.
( Perhaps he didn't but
that's for argument by
scholars) .
It's performed in the
round - difficult to do - on a
floor ravened with sand.
The Trojan women and the
warriors are dirty, as is
war. They are weary which
is what war makes one.
They are bitter and sus-
tained only by hatred of the
enemy and hare. Helen the
outsider who is supposed to
have caused the war. This
is war and one is compelled
to share it.
The performance runs
about two hours without in-
termission and requires the
stamina of youthful actors
to present. In the main, the
young company - all of it,
including the off stage par-
ticipants - acquits itself,
admirably. The only
criticism your correspon-
dent can muster lies with
the difficult conditions of
the theatre itself. Intimacy
can be a good thing but it
can also militate against

stage craft.
One thinks particularly
of the lady who plays
Hecuba. She is young and
pretty and even stage
makeup cannot hide the
fact when one sees her up
close. As well, her voice is
youthful and not the crack-
ed instrument of the now
aged harridan that Hecuba
has become. That, too, is
manifest up close.
As a result, her perform-
ce - however skillful - is
rather more that of a
spiteful sorority sister than
a wounded and vengeful
matriarch. It's not the
young lady's fault, you
understand. It's the fault of
the conditons under which
she has bravely under-
taken to perform a difficult
role. Tabitha Lackey is a
fuze actress and we look
forward to seeing her again
in more favourable roles
and or settings.
The Trojan Women is
scheduled to run only until
this Saturday and your
custom is recommended.
Indeed, were it within our-
power,

Abigail Becker, "The Heroine of Long Point"
By James Marsh
After marrying 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

nearby sandbar, and the crew

Association struck a special gold

Abigail was called on to save

other shipwrecked sailors and she
saved the life of a boy who had
fallen down a well. Sadly, she was

City Holidays In Denmark
Hold Year Round Appeal
The inventive Danes
have once again come up
with a winning idea -
building holiday villages in
cities.
The "Byferie" or city
holiday is now a reality in
Kolding ( East Jutland),
the ancient centre whose
jewel in her crown is
Koldinghus Castle. Holiday
Villages are nothing new in
Denmark, but most are
located in rural areas and
geared to warm weather
activity. City Holiday
Villages are available for
year-round vacationing for
adults only or families with
children. An added
challenge was to ensure
that the "Byferie" was
modern and functional, yet
in harmony with the am-
bience of the ancient towns
where they were situated.
"Byferie" is a result of
Danish government policy
which mandates affordable
holidays for all workers.
However in 1990 the Danish
Labour Market Holiday
Fund and Danish National
Architects organized a
competition to stimulate
new ideas "on holidays in
Denmark, regardless of the
season or weather". From
102 suggestions received,
the idea of "city holidays"
caught the sponsors' im-
agination. Kolding and
gibe were picked for first
developments.
The result in Kolding is a
striking modern complex
of various geometrical
forms - stars, circles,
squares, rectangles and
triangles set in blocks no
higher than three stories,
totalling 85 apartments.
These light Scandinavian
units are effectively jux-
taposed with the winding
streets and moss -covered
buildings of the old city on
whose doorstep they sit. All
are on prime lake frontage
with an unparalleled view.
Legendary Koldinghus
Castle, reflected in Castle
Lake, rises only a five
minute walk away.
Apartments vary in size.
the median being 52 square
metres. All feature a
lounge, kitchen, dining
area, bathroom and one or
more bedrooms. Kolding
"Byferie" opened June 1,
1944 and guests didn't take
long to discover one of its
chief delights - strolling at
sunset along the peaceful
shore, feeding ducks on the
mirror lake.
Beside Kolding
"Byferie" is a new swimm-
ing centre offering swimm-
ing, workout centres,
children's water games
and cafeteria. Tuesday or
Friday mornings
holidavers can buv fresh
foods at market stalls in
the Town Square, which is
alive at night with fine or
casual dining and shops.
It's also a great place to
people watch! No visitor
should miss the Koldinghus
Castle, also a winner of ar-
chitectural competitions
for renovation and restora-
tion. Listening to a string
quartet in its ancient
chambers is memory
worth holding on to.

East York Collegiate News
Connected To The World!
Connected to the World!
Do not be surprised one
day if your son or daughter
comes home from East
York Collegiate and greets
you with "G'Day, mate!"
Nor should you be surpris-
ed if your son or daughter
comes home talking about
the weather in Australia!
No, it is not necessarily
what they are learning in
Geography, but what they
have learned in one of John
Shipton's Grade to French
classes! French, you say?
OLA, francais! One of the
test projects of the students
in Mr. Shipton's class is
electronically com-
municating en francais
with other students around
the world!
Background
Although Mr. Shipton is a
French teacher in the East
York Collegiate's Moderns
Department, he has, in
fact, a long and varied ex-
perience in the areas of
computers and telecom-
munications.
Not only was he the first
individual to set up and run
the first electronic BBS in
the East York Board (1997 -
G.A. Brown), but he has set
up and run three computer
labs in East York schools.
the most recent one being
the Communications Lab
at East York Collegiate.
This Lab was the result
of support of Mr. Shipton's
proposal from Mr. M. Kof-
sky ( Dept. Head English),
Mr. T. Green i Acting
Assist- Dept. Head and
noted Canadian author).
Mrs. J. Draper (Dept.
Head Moderns), Mrs. J.
Milligan i Dept. Head
E.S.L.1, Mr. B. Rabbior
( V ice -Principal ) . Mrs. J.
Wright ( Vice Principal)
and Mr. D. DeFelice t Prin-
cipal 1.
This Lab is used by
numerous departments, in-
cluding English, Dramatic
Arts, E.S.L. Moderns, and
Skills Lab. He works with
the Extended Media Lab
� Mrs. K. Yamashita. Dept.
Head) and the Design and
Technology Department
(Mr. G. Heighington. Dept.
Head). He also supports
the efforts and programs of
the Business Department
Mrs. J. Joyal. Dept.
Head j. He has taught com-
puter skills to students
t Grades 4-10), Staff and
adults.
These skills have been
taught using Commodore
(Pet. 64. 128 and Amiga 1
and IBM. He has conducted
workshops for teachers on
DOS and programs such as
'WordPerfect'. In the first
year, he was facilitating
telecommunications bet-
ween the English Depart-
ment at EYCI and York
University; EYCI par-
ticipated in the Canada-
wlde'Wrlters in Electronic
Residence' program, in
which students' work is
telecommunicated to noted
Canadian writers who, in
turn, critiqued and
telecommunicated back
their response to the
students' writing.
He has successfully writ-
ten three French
computer-assisted pro-
grams for the East York
Board and one for another
large board. He is com-
pleting a three-year course
in C -language programm-
ing, graduating as a Soft-
ware Engineer. He has also
spent the last 41 2 years on
the 'Internet'. He has com-
pleted a course on the 'In-
ternet' at the University of
Toronto to get the required
certification in print from a
.recognized Canadian in-
stitution, even though it
soon became apparent
that, with him assisting in
the course at Toronto, he
had mastered 'navigating
the Net'.
With any spare time, Mr.
Shipton has helped
students and staff to
become familiar with com-
puters and programs. In
April 1994, he presented a 4
hour workshop to the Brock
University's ESL
Specialist Course teachers.
At the end of April, he did a
presentation at the 'Bridg-
ing the Gap Conference'
held at the Ramada
Downtown Toronto.
At the present time, Mr.
Shipton is conducting
lessons on how to use the
Internet with the members
of the Ontario Teachers'
Federation's 'Electronic
Village'. The 'EV', was set
up in 1993 to promote
discussion and telecom-
munications among
teachers across the pro-
vince of Ontario. There are
approximately 13.463 par-
ticipants, and as Mary
Beam. Co-ordinator
reports, the number is
growing by the hundreds
weekly. Mr. Shipton's
lessons are so successful
that they were being posted
in other boards, such as
Essex County. At the re-
quest of OTF. Mr. Shipton
has been conducting
workshops at various con-
ferences across the pro-
vince.
Recently. Mr. Shipton
has been requested by the
Government of Saskat-
chewan ( Ministry of
Education. Training and
Employment) to submit a
paper that will be helpful to
an entrepreneurial project
to be undertaken by
several government
departments.
-Eyeset' to the World
It has been an interesting
process of combining
technology, knowledge of
French and the application
of that knowledge. Students
first learned how to use
word-processing programs
such as Wordperfect and
Microsoft Works in their
keyboarding classes of-
fered by the Business
Education Department. If
the students do not take the
course, then Mr. Shipton
teaches some basics of the
course as the students'
needs arise in the Com-
munication Lab, including
how to use accents and to
spellcheck en francais'
The second stage is to
teach the students about
telecommunications. Mr.
Shipton has found that the
best way is to teach the
students how to access the
East York Board's own
electronic Bulletin Board,
'Eyenet', now under the
direction of Mrs. 'Martha
Pluscauskas. Students
learn how to log on, send
and receive local messages
and to download and
upload files.
Some students, such as
Elizabeth Pavlis (Gr. 101,
have become quite profi-
cient and assisted Mr. Ship-
ton at the school. Other
students, such as James
Pearce (Gr.10), set up and
operate their own BBS.
Still other students, such as
Radha Manhas, who has
had a modem at home for a
while, but not sure on how
to use, is a regular user of
Eyenet.
Marlene Lilek and her
older brother have now
purchased a modem to con-
tinue accessing the world
from their home! One of
the advantages of the
Eyenet is that the ex-
perience that the students
gain at school can be prac-
tised from their home with
their own computer and
modem. A big extra is that
Mr. Shipton can help the
students out from his home
through the Eyenet!
The third stage is to in-
troduce the students to
telecommunications out-
side the local Eyenet. One
of the great features of the
BBS is its e-mail (called
UUCP) facility. This is
what gives the Eyenet
users access to the world!
From here with the correct
electronic address, staff
and students can send
e-mail to people anywhere
in the world!
And this brings us back
to Australia! Mr. Shipton's
request for a French -
learning class at the Grade
10 level brought an im-
mediate response from
Flex Boggs, an e-mail co-
ordinator for teacher Lyn
Lawrence in Rockhamp-
ton, Queensland, Australia.
After several cor-
respondences. in which
procedures were set by
both parties, the idea was
introduced to the students.
Since that time in early
February, the students in
both parts of the world
have never looked back.
Now they are preparing for
a third letter in just as
many months' The
students write about
themselves and ask about
their penpals in their let-
ters.
Expanding the Universe
Now with the first class
successfully telecom-
m unicating, Mr. Shipton
has partnered another of
his Grade 10 French
classes with one of Kaye
Nyffeler's classes in
Omaha. Nebraska.
Students have now been
corresponding en francais
for over a year with their
Omaha 'amis''
Mrs. Milligan, is so en-
thralled by the telecom-
nnmicatians success, that,
with Mr. Shtpton's help,
she spent port of 1994 hav-
ing some of her ESL
students correspond with
an ESL class in
Massachusetts. The shar-
ing of experiences is the
emphasis of her class's ex-
change with their counter-
parts in the US.
1994-95 continues to be a
year of expansion in
telecommunications at
East York Collegiate. A se-
conds Grade 10 Advanced
French class of Mr. Ship -
ton's is corresponding with
Kathy Hardenburgh's
Grade 10 class in Omaha,
Nebraska - yes, the same
school as Kaye Nyffeler's!
Joining the ranks of
telecommunications is San-
dy Ingram, whose OAC
French class is correspon-
ding with one of Kathy
Hardenburgh's senior
French classes in Omaha,
Nebraska.
Carolyn Italiana is put-
ting the finishing touches
on e-mail correspondence
in Spanish with her OAC
class and Rita Thomas's
class of students in Quito,
Ecuador!
And the fever has spread
to the Business Depart-
ment, where Vi ja Murata is
set to start her three Grade
10 classes corresponding
with teachers and their
classes in places as far
away as Finland!
Mr. Shipton is also
teaching the students other
facilities available through
the Eyenet's UUCP facili-
ty, such as sending digitiz-
ed colour pictures to their
penpals! Other features of
the Internet will be in -

Sir Robert L. Borden News
Business & Technical Institute
Welcome to Second
Semester at Sir Robert L.
Borden B.T.1. This
semester brings some
changes to the school, in-
cluding a change of Vice
Principal. Brian Punchard,
who has been with Borden
for four and a half years, is
moving on to Birehmount
Collegiate and will be very
much missed by staff and
students. He has added so
nnhch warmth, organiza-
tion and humanness to the
administration of the
school. His support of staff
and students is legendary,
as are all the volunteer
organizations he has work-
ed with in the Scarborough
community for many
years. We wish him hap-
piness in his new position.
Bringing his expertise
and experience from Pear-
son Collegiate is new -to -Sir
Robert L. Borden B.T.I.
Vice Principal Ron Fitton
who will become an in-
tegral part of the leader-
ship team at the school.
Welcome to Ron Fitton.
Borden is also saying
farewell to extremely
popular teachers. Randy
Nadalin• Lisa Edwards and
Gu rpersaud. all of whom
will be much missed.
Shafin Kaba, teacher of
Math and Science will be

legiate and a warm
welcome is extended.
Neil Anderson. Head of
English at Borden will be
basting Arthur Luck, a stu-
dent teacher from the
Faculty of Education,
Nilxssing University, Feb.
624.
There is an element of
trust around a school that
when something needs to
be done, there is someone
to do it. That someone,
more often than not, turns
out to be one of the in-
valuable support staff
members of Borden who
must be thanked for so
very much.
Lyn Hogan is Head
Secretary and supervisor
of five wonderful support
staff. They make a great
team. Lyn has been with
the Scarborough Board of
Educaiton since 1960. For
several years she worked
as a Budget Secretary and
has been a Head Secretary
for the last seven years.
She has worked at high
schools, business and
technical institutes and col-
legiates.
Lyn Logan has a wealth
and broad spectrum of ex-
perience. This is the second
time she has worked at a
Business and Technical In-
stitute and has come back
because she enjoys work-
ing in the environment.
"Support staff at Sir
Robert L. Borden B.T.I.."
says Lyn, "are very special
people. They recognize the
needs of the students. Their
role is not to discipline, but
to help. The support staff
here want to and do create
a helping. supportive en-
vironment. We also work
with the students, who in
turn work with tis. Dana
Miller, a Business student
here at Borden works for a
half hour every day and is
very good at her job...
Lyn Logan says "We
have a great rapport with
the students. Periodically.
for example. Kevin Guy. 14
and Danny Game, 14 come
into the office selling baked
goods created by the
students in the Hospitality
Services Department and
inevitably the support staff
welcome them."
Michelle Edwards is the
new Attendance Secretary
at Borden and Vice Prin-
cipal's Secretary. From
March 1997, Michelle work-
ed in a supply capacity
with the Scarborough
Board of Education on the
front desk at Borden and
became a permanent
employee of the board in
1990. Michelle is still at
Borden but no longer at the
front desk. In October 1994
she was promoted to Atten-
dance and Vice Principal's
Secretary.
Michelle Edwards was a
student at Borden
graduating in January 1966
and she completed her
Cooperative Education
stint right on the front desk
from September to
January of that year. She
has certainly enjoyed her
experience at Borden and
she is well liked by staff
and students alike.
Dawn Lefebvre is the
new Budget Secretary,
having moved from the
position of Attendance
Secretary in October. She
has been with the Scar-
borough Board for the past
four years. She started off
her Scarborough Board
career doing supply, but it
too, was mostly at Borden.
She is very fond of the
staff and students and truly
enjoys being at this school.
"It is like a big family here,
which is what makes it
such a fine place to work."
says Dawn.
"We accompanied the
Borden graduating
students to Wonderland on
the bus one year. " Dawn
Lefebvre remembers.
"niere the students were,
talking and singing. Early
in the morning on our
return we had to wake up
all the graduating students
because they were so tined
they just could not stay
awake. It was so much
fun. '
There will be a senior
citizens' luncheon and
fashion show at Borden on
Feb. 9th. The January New
Year's luncheon was well
attended and some of the
time was spent writing
New Year's cards to those
whom the seniors had not
seen in a while and wanted
to contact.
