Set 1995 Budget Process At its Standing Commit- tee meeting of Jan. 16, Durham Board of Educa- tion trustees approved a process for their 1995 budget deliberations. The establishment of a budget process deliberately had been delayed until the new board was in place and familiar with the options available to it. Trustees decided that a full community consulta- tion process is not necessary for this budget year because most options for budget reduction already are known by trustees and the recent municipal election provid- ed them with opportunities to gather input around the budget. The preliminary mill rate for 1995 indicated that most of the 5.7 percent pro- jected increase is due to capital expenditures such as the infrastructure pro- jects. the construction of .John Dryden P.S. and the renovations necessary for the implementation of Junior Kindergarten. It is expected that these items and their financing will be discussed early in the budget process, along with items trustees feel should be studied during the deliberations and a sum- mary of projected system :needs from staff. Trustees have confirmed a number of dates for budget meetings, all of which will be held at the Durham Board of Educa- tion Centre, 400 Taunton Road East, Whitby: Wed. Feb. 9 at 7 p.m.; Thurs. Feb. 16 at 7 p.m., Sat. Feb. 18 from 9:30 a. m. to 4 p.m. Tues. Feb. 28 at 7 p.m.: Thurs. Mar. 2 at 7 p.m.. and Thurs. Mar. 23 at 7 p.m. The budget meetings are open to all interested staff members, parents and community members: however. there will be no opportunity at these meetings for making presentations to trustees or asking questions. Input from interested parties is requested in written form. Information about items order consideration in the budget will reach parents through school newsletters and commurtity members through the media. Those wishing to express opinions about these items or make suggestions for items to be considered should address their letters to Durham Board of Education Budget Commit- tee. 400 Taunton Rd.

This space could be yours for just $22.00 per week The Durham Board of Education and its secon- dary school teachers, represented by the Ontario Secondary School Teachers' Federation (OSSTF), District 17, ratified a new collective agreement on Jan. 23. The agreement is for a three- year term covering the period from Sept. 1, 1993 to Aug. 31, 1996, and covers approximately 1,400 secon- dary teachers. The settlement was reached Dec. 22, 1994, with the assistance of a provin- cial mediator. A key feature is the restoration of experience increments for teachers which were withheld under the Social Contract. This agreement provides offset- ting cost-saving measures which enable the board to restore these increments to teachers, effective Sept. 1, 1996. These measures in- clude group benefits restructuring; reorganiza- •released 6 months ago to provide input for the report of the Royal Commission on Learning, expected to be released later this week. tion of school ad- ministrative structures: some staff reductions in ex- cess of those required by the Social Contract; a revised salary payment schedule. reduction in con- ference allowances for principals and vice - principals; and elimination of paid educational im- provement leaves. The offsetting cost- saving measures will en- sure that this agreement has no increased cost to the taxpayers. The reduction of 22 classroom teachers is close to one less teacher per secondary school and will increase the average class size by less than one student per class. The settlement also sees the resolution of all outstanding Social Con- tract implementation issues. According to Board Chairman Patricia Bowman, "This agreement represents a significant achievement in tough economic times. Both the board and the teachers have persevered in the face of difficult issues to com- plete this agreement." DENTAL OFFICE Dr.K. Fenwick Dr.R.Hoffman Dr.S.Sekhon Dr.J.

Jan. 30th when the Toronto Star editorialized in favour of incineration over landfill burial of our garhage. We have written for incineration. especially after visiting the Indianapolis. Indiana incinerator a few years aeo. As The Star says our NDP Ontario government has banned incineration for four years and backs the landfill system which wastes some of our best farmland. Many areas of the United States have opted for incineration as an environmentally acceptable alternative alone with reduction and recychne of garbage. Unfortunately our Ontario government seems to he riaidl- behind the use of valuable farmland for the disposal of waste. And not just waste which could he valuable in improving the quality of our soil. With the coming Ontario election we hope that the New Democrats are replaced by either the Conservative or the Liberals because those two parties have stated that thev would re -open consideration of the alternatives like incineration. Even at Metro Council, Councillor Lois Griffin has spoken out in favour of an investigation of the value of incineration. We hope that the other Metro Councillors will study the facts and we believe that they will come out in favour of incineration and save our valuable agricultural land. About Fuel Ethanol Dear Editor: The Government+- of Ontario and Canada are to be con- gratulated for decisions made in 1994 which will result in expanded Canadian production of fuel ethanol. This is need- ed to meet growing consumer demand for this environmen- tally superior automotive fuel. The environment benefits of fuel ethanol produced from grain and other biological feedstocks have been documented extensively in independent studies. These benefits include reduced tail -pipe emissions of carbon monoxide and toxic hydrocarbons. less dependence on im- ports of foreigh light crude oil, and the opportunity to replace environmentally harmful gasoline additives such as MMT and bernzenie. Environment Canada calculations have shown a 40% reduction in net carbon dioxide emissions when fuel ethanol replaces gasoline. This includes "whole life cycle" emis- sions. A more recent analysis by Natural Resources Canada shows reductions of about 100%. More modest beriefits have been found in European analyses, a conse- quence of the much more intensive mature of production technology used to grow corn - a renewable feedstock from which ethanol is made - in west European countries com- pared to Canada. A 199'3 report from the Pans based OECD Indicated that ethanol made from corn could mean reduc- tions of up to 70% In net greenhouse gas enussiorn, or in- creases, depending upon differences in production technology. A major report done by Cemcorp for the Ontano ilinistr• of Environment and Entergy shows that fuel ethanol con- tairis over twice the amount of energy used in its production sunshine energy not included,. This includes the produc- tion of biological feedstocks and inputs used in their produc- t ion. Opponents of fuel ethanol have critized the contingent guarantee provided recently by the Government of Canada in the event that a federal excise tax is reimposed on fuel ethanol before 2►(105. The excise tax was eliminated in 199x2 on ethanol used in gasoline blends. No excise tax has ever existed for propane, compressed natural gas. and other alternative fuels. The contingent guarantee announced in 1994 actually means a reduction of about $17.5 million in federal expenditures in the current and future fiscal years. Tax exemptions in future years will be largely off set by associated savings in federal expenditures on agriculture. This is in marked contrast to the over $2 billion per year. on average. which the federal government has provided in support for fossil fuel development since 1978, according to a 199:3 analysis done by Ernst and Young Consultants.

Need Provincial Cutback On The Bureaucracy by Ilan Newman. Candidate :G•arM►rough Centre. Prn�ressive (`oneryalive Parte of Ontario !Host people in Ontario have no doubt that the provincial government's bureaucracy is much larger than it needs to he Over the past ten years, under Liberal and NDP governments. the provincial bureaucracv has ballooned by about 15%. Today, there are almost loo thousand people working for the province. Nearly 400 people. with a total salary of almost $20 million a year. are employed just by the ministers in the NDP cabinet. That works out to about 26 assistants for each minister. Many of these people have been hired for party loyalty, and most recently a large number of them have been given well -paying jobs within the civil service in order to guarantee them positions after the provincial election. Some of these positions have salaries in excess of $65.4M it is time we demand that governments make the same hypes of budget -stretching decisions that each of us have had to make in our households and in our businesses. Today. more than ever. governments at all levels must provide the people of Ontario with better for less. Under a Mike Harris government, the number of MPP's themselves would he reduced from 130 to 99. The current MPP pension scheme would be scrapped, and tax-free allowances would be abolished. Each minister in a Prneressive Conservative cabinet would be expected to perform his or her duties without a massive personal bureaucracv. As well, the civil service itself would be trimmed (through attrition programs) back to 198.S levels. a reduction of 15%. Mike Harris has asked governments at all levels. the residents of Ontario and organizations, including the Ontario Public Service Employees Union (OPSEU to work with him to find ways to make the system more efficient. if we truly want to have a smaller and more efficient government in Ontario. then we should start at the top.

Sea. boo gli Centre Candiidale Pr"rr%sive Conservative Part of Ontario According to Statistics Canada, the number of youths under the age of 18 charged with violent crime more than doubled nation-wide from 1986-1991, reaching nearly 19.0X1)). Of those charged almost 20% were ycxuig females. The criminal habits of these young people may stay with them throughout their lives at a great cost to society. In order to prevent this the rising trend criminal involvement by youth must he addressed now. In order to accomplish this. the Young Offenders Act must he amended. Although this is a federal Act and it cannot. therefore. be amended by the province. the province can. and should. take a leading role in demanding reform of the Act. Reforms should include lowering the upper age limit of the Act from 18 to 16 vears of age. 1t should also be possible to try persons younger than the current cut-off age as adult- in special circumstances. and youth courts should be able to sentence violent youth more severely. There are several actions that the province can take on its own. The Ministry of the Attorney General. for example, must stop withdrawing charges so often and send a clear message to vouth that criminal activity will not be tolerated. Mike Harris believes that the concept of a "strict discipline" youth facility should be examined for first time offenders who have committed serious or violent crimes. This facility would he operated in a strict manner and designed to deliver a lasting lesson about imprisonment, discipline and personal responsibility. Strict sentences for youth. however, mmt take into consideration the need to reintegrate the offender into society. The aim is not simply to punish youth. but to ensure that their first offence is their last. It is time for action on violent youth crime Immigration Change For Chileans The Minister of Citizenship and Immigration Canada.

This change came into effect Feb. 1st ..The proposed amendment to the Immigration Regulations will enhance business and economic transactions. as well as promote tourism and cultural exchanges." said the Minister. This decision was made possible because the Chilean authorities have agreed to co-operate with the Canadian government in combatting illegal migration from the region and in accepting the return of any Chilean citizens not permitted to stay in Canada.

Door-to-door Scam Artists Scour Neighbourhoods Consumers should be wary of scam artists who may knock on their doors asking to borrow money to pay for emergency tow - truck or locksmith ser- vices. Ontario's Ministry of Consumer and Commercial Relations has heard from Toronto area residents who say people pretending to be neighbours locked out of their homes, or to have suf- fered car break -downs, have asked to "borrow" between 120 and 150 "just until they can get to a bank to withdraw the money' The "loans" have not been returned and the "neighbours" are never seen again. "It's awful to think that a scam artist would take ad- vantage of a person's good intentions and sympathy for a stranger in what is perceived as a crisis situa- tion," said Marilyn Gurev- sky, the ministry's con- sumer issues manager. "But unfortunately ex- perience, shows us this deceitful practice surfaces in most of the larger On- tario cities every few years. In the majority of cases the scam artists and the money defrauded from consumers are never found. There are several varia- tions of this scam. Con- surners are advised to be wary of people they don't know who may knock at their doors persistently very early in the morning or late at night; "push" their way into horses as soon as the doors are answered; claim they want to borrow money to pay for tow trucks, but don't want to call towing firms; say they are friends of neighbours who just hap- pen to be walking along the street at the time; and say they live at an address just far enough down the street so the consumer would not generally know the real householders. Anyone who has been the victim of this scam is asked to contact the fraud unit of their local police depart- ment.

CrrY OF SCARBOROUGH PUBLIC MEETING Proposed Zoning By-law Amendments for Special Industrial Uses and Municipally Prohibited Uses in Employment Districts The City of Scarborough is considering changing its Zoning By-laws in regard to Special Industrial Uses and Municipally Prohibited Uses. The Zoning By-laws list certain industrial uses as prohibited or restricted due to their potentially noxious characteristics. These lists of industrial uses are outdated, inconsistent, unclear, and unfriendly to business. Following consideration of a discussion paper and meetings held last year to discuss various options. Council is considering amending all Employment District By-laws as follows: • Delete the existing list of Municipally Prohibited Uses. but retain waste landfill operations and the slaughtering, eviscerating and rendering of animals as Municipally Prohibited Uses. • State that all industrial uses shall be carried out in a manner that is not offensive to its neighbours. • Special Industrial Zones are located in the interior of the Employment Districts, removed from residential and other sensitive land uses. By providing for specific uses in Special Industrial Zones, those uses are excluded from other zones. It is proposed to delete the existing obsolete and inconsistent lists of Special Industrial Uses from the Employment District By-laws but retain the following industries as Special Industrial Uses: 1. Ammunition, explosives or fireworks manufacturing or storage 2. Asphalt manufacturing or mixing 3. Fish, meat or poultry processing excluding cutting or repackaging 4. Chemical manufacturing or warehousing 5. Metal, mineral and ore smelting 6. Petroleum refinery 7. Refining of petroleum waxes • Expand the zoning permission for wood products manufacturing to all industrial zones. Council is also considering a Site Specific zoning amendment in respect to the IGI International Waxes ownership on the north and south sides of Salome Drive. The proposal is to restrict the Special Industrial Uses on this property to the existing refining of petroleum waxes. A Report outlining these proposals may be obtained at the Planning Information Counter, 3rd Floor, Civic Centre. If you wish to review the Planning and Buildings Department's recommendations on this matter, a Recommendation Report will be available from the Planning Information Counter on March 10, 1995.

The Amendment would in- troduce Temporary Use By-law Policies into the Official Plan. Tempo- rary Use By-law policies will allow Council to adopt Temporary Use By-laws where the use may not otherwise conform with the Official Plan. The Official Plan policies would outline situations under which a temporary use by-law would be authorized. The application of these by-laws will enable Council to respond to changing market conditions and the evolving nature of land use in specific areas, while retaining control over the future land use designation of a property. A report outlining what Temporary Use By-law Policies are, the process for adopting a Temporary Use By-law and the proposed draft policy may be obtained at the Planning and Buildings Infor- mation Counter, 3rd Floor, Civic Centre. If you wish to review the Planning and Buildings Department's recommendations on this matter, the recommendation report will be available from the Plan- ning Information Counter on March 101, 1995. Further information on the proposed Amendment may be obtained by contacting Ms. Kerri Voumvakis, Principal Planner, at 396-7033.

"Information is the resource that funds socie- ty," said Minister Swar- brick. "Community infor- mation centres are dedicated to helping On- tarians become more in- formed, innovative, involv- ed and adaptable in a rapidly changing society." The Online Ontario database contains informa- tion on programs and ser- vices available within com- munities served by com- munity information cen- tres. The focus of the infor- mation is human service such as housing, employ- ment, accessibility, healthcare, eldercare and daycare," Minister Swar- brick added. "I am pleased that we can continue our support. Online Ontario is an important link in the development of the provin- cial information highway in Ontario." ACICO is an umbrella organization representing some 73 community infor- mation centres and associated information and referral providers around the province of Ontario. It was formed to strengthen and enhance community information centres by pro- viding leadership in the areas of standards, ac- creditation, marketing, development and informa- tion technology.

Together with the "Winter Gold Rush'' brochure, the package has been widely distributed to snowmobile clubs, MPP's, municipalities, chambers of commerce and govern- ment agencies. It has been used extensively across the province in economic development and business meetings to help build new winter support and part- nerships for organized snowmobiling. The OFSC credits SNO- TRAC, the $20.8 million, three year, Snowmobile Trail Rehabilitation and Construction partnership with the province, as the launch of the new era for Ontario snowmobiling highlighted in the video. A strong indicator of this pro- gram's success in stimulating economic development is the recoup- ment of SNO-TRAC invest- ment dollars within the first two years - far ahead of original projections. Since SNO-TRAC S 1991 inception. OFSC member- ship has increased by about 50% to 165,000 family sntowmobilers, while Stats Can reports that the number of snowmobiles per Ontario household has grown by 24% compared to 5% in other provinces.

Sean Flanagan 15, won New CEO, New Office For Ontario Snowmobile Clubs 1Atith major changes in structure and operations, the Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs (OFSC) is gearing up to steer On- tario's fastest growing form of winter recreation through 1995. As recom- mended in a comprehen- sive Operational Review of the Federation recently completed the OFSC is reshaping itself to meet challenges into the 21st century. "The Operational Review was approved by a 98% majority at our annual general meeting and we have moved quickly to br- ing ourselves into line with new management prac- tices and contemporary business procedures," remarked OFSC President Don Lumley of Sudbury. ,,The changes will make us more cost-effective and responsive to club needs and work for the overall betterment of organized snowmobiling in Ontario." Foremost among the changes is the hiring of the OFSC's first Chief Ex- ecutive Officer, David I. Murray, M.Ed. Mr. Mur- ray, formerly Director of Development for the Easter Seal Society of On- tario, moves into the top snowmobiling job with a mandate to streamline, modernize and focus OFSC operations. In accepting the new position, Murray com- mented, "I'm very pleased and excited to be at the helm of a non-profit organization with such an enviable track record. I'm confident that the growth and economic impact of Ontario snowmobiling will continue for years to come and look forward to work- ing with the thousands of club volunteers across the province who make it all possible." Mr. Murray celebrated the first day on the job with an OFSC move into larger offices within the same business complex beside Highway 400 at Molson Park Drive, Barrie. The new layout promotes staff efficiency and facilitates the handling of thousands of new incoming calls and massive inventory and shipping increases brought on by serving a member- ship that has soared by 100% since 1991 to almost 165, 000. In the field, volunteer overload has been address- ed by reducing the number of OFSC regions from 27 to 17. Under the old system, there was only one volunteer to act for each region. Renamed "District", the new areas are now represented by up to four volunteers - a gover- nor, responsible for policy at the provincial board level; an operations direc- tor, charged with trails and club operations within the district; and two alternates to provide back-up support for each position.

February t;. 199.5 Bill Watt's Worlds ON STAGE: The bad news is that this year's abominable version of the flu prevented Your Column's attendance at the opening of Poor Super Man at Canadian Stage Berkeley Street. Our bark- ing would have been a disturbance to the au- dience. (On the same day we had to miss the National Ballet's important media conference at Biagio's an- nouncing the '95 '96 Season as well. Details in a future column). The good news is that the run has already been ex- tended for an additional four weeks so we'll hopeful- ly see it and report back. In the meantime, here are a few advance notes. Poor Super Man is writ- ten by Brad Fraser who is Canadian Theatre's cur- rent enfant terrible, which is to say that his plays are rather more than naughty. Admittance to P.S.M. for example, is restricted to those 18 years of age and over. It's not clear if the policy was mandated (no pun intended) by govern- ment or not but it certainly creates public interest. Readers will no doubt recall a similar promotion in Huckleberry Firm. Mr. Fraser has stated ,.my rule of thumb with all my writings is show the au- dience - never talk about what happened, let them see what is actually hap- pening... That's all well and good, one supposes, but surely what separates theatre audiences from the hoi poBoi who watch televi- sion or motion pictures ex- clusively is their ability to think and imagine, prodded only by well turned phrases and performances. Well. tart pis. P.S. M. is a comedy about a young man and his wife trying to make a success of their restaurant. They hire a young man from the lavender brigade of the middle sex regiment. He makes a move on the young married man. Does he suc- ceed' You'll have to see for yourself. You'll also see nudity and simulated sex and notice. from time to time, high- lighted visual balloon titles in the manner of comic strips. Abraham Schomer used the technique in 1920's The Chamber Mystery. La plus ca change... Poor Super Man is enjoy- ing huge success and it's not one's intention to downplay that. In fact, we're quite anticipating the opportunity to see it. Still, one wonders if Mr. Fraser's professed writing style is one of choice or necessity. IN PRINT: Before succumbing to the flu, and heavily fortified by drowsy -making antibiotics, we managed to make it to the Shark City Bar and Grill for the launch of Typhoon Magazine. This is a slick quarterly - for now - for the delectation of Canadians of Asian ancestry. It's glossy and it's smart; mindful in its way of the original Liberty Magazine. The significance of the title eludes us but we suspect it's from Joseph Conrad's novel about transporting Asians by slip. The editorial content is made up of business, feature stories, careers. personalities Miss Saigon's star Ma' Anne Dionisio is on the first cover), fashions. leisure, travel and all the other goodies of a sophisticated publication. Although Typhoon seems demographically directed to a specific readership, we think it'll achieve univer- sality of acceptance. It cer- tainly deserves it. OPERA NEWS: Among the sparklies at the Typhoon launch was the glamorous Deborah Knight. Public Relations Manager of the Canadian Opera Company. Above the happy din we were able to learn from her that Michael J. Blanken- ship, who played a role in the Cincinnati production of Poor Super Man, is not related to Rebecca Blankenship who scored mightily in the C.O.C.'s re- cent production of Ewar- tung. It's just an apparent and incredible coincidence of names. Locally, the C.O.C. Ensemble Studio has now embarked upon its Ontario tour of selected schools Around and Abou a Your Dining &Entertainment Guide presenting La Boheme, Cinderella and opera highlights. The tour in- cludes schools and auditoria in Metro, Kit- chener: Waterloo, Kingston, Brantford and Sudbury. The Sudbury engagement is this Friday, the evening before a Stom- pin' Tom Connors Sudbury Saturday Night. Only in Canada. And, we love it! Overseas, C.O.C. mezzo- soprano Anita Krause has won third prize at the 6th international Mozart Com- petition in Salzburg. The competition is held every four years and this year there were 289 entries from 39 countries. Miss Krause. who is a member of the Ensemble Studio, was among 93 singers. Also from the Ensemble was soprano Nathalie Paulin who advanced to the se- cond round. Our congratulations to these two young ladies. The future of the company is bright and strong. FREEBIE: Depending upon which edition of this paper you're reading. you might still be able to nip down to the Waterfall Stage at First Canadian Place for a free concert by the Barra Mac Neils. This is a musical family from Sydney Mines. Nova Scotia that offers unique renditions of traditional Celtic folk songs. The term Celtic is being bandied about rather over much of late but there's no denying that the music being presented under the name is touching. The concert begins at 12:15 p.m. so you just have time to finish the second crock of java and be on your way.

Kiwanis Music Festival Feb -11-25 The 52nd Kiwanis Music Festival of Greater Toron- to will take place from Feb. 11 to 25. A Toronto tradition since 1944, The Kiwanis Music Festival provides the op- portunity for performers of all ages to display their skills before the public and their peers and receive the encouragement of ad- judication by expert pro- fessionals from across :North America. In addi- tion, over $40,000 in scholarships are available from the Kiwanis Music Festival for promising young artists in all categories. The competitions are held in a wide variety of in- strumental and vocal solo and ensemble classifica- tions and include perfor- mances in diverse areas of both Western and Non - Western music. The win- ners in each class have their names published dai- ly in major Toronto newspapers and many outstanding performers are chosen to array their talent in the culminating "Showcase of Stars" which. this year. will be held on Mon. Mar. 27. at The Ford Centre for Per- York's Madison Centre. Now. in partnership with Lita Clavier he hes created Kiddaroo Playground at Bayview Ave. and Beisize. This is a child care centre designed for children up to six years of age. It offers a whole host of individual services including the care of children ( over 18 months of age) for two hours while the parent shops or keeps an appointment. Kiddaroo Playground will also arrange No Fuss parties with entertain- ment, food and loot bags. Best of all. they clean up forming Arts. Tickets are $15 and can be purchased in person at the Ford Centre or through TicketMaster, 872-22'12 (ap- plicable service charges will apply). The Festival was found- ed by a Kiwanian, Col. George W. Peacock and has been generously sup- ported by the Kiwanis Clubs of Greater Toronto since that time. In addition, there are individual and corporate supporters, both as volunteers and financial sponsors. The festival will be held in 22 halls at 18 locations -in Toronto at Calvin Presbyterian Church, St. Matthew's United Church. Runnymede Presbyterian Church. Metropolitan United Church, North Toronto C.I., Timothy Eaton Memorial Church, and St. Paul's Anglican Church; in Scarborough at Birch mount Park C.I.; in North York at Earl Haig S.S.. Armour Heights Presbyterian Church, Lawrence Park Communi- ty Church and Northview Secondary School: and in Etobicoke at Thistletown C.I.. West Humber C.I.. St. James United Church, after. There are other services but the point here is that K -P. can customize almost any kind of child care for the very young. What a refreshing change from the over regimentation of some child care facilities. AFTERGLOW: Perhaps the cutline should read Afterburners. We're referring to the re- cent trio of evenings given by Le Ballet National du Senegal at Massey Hall. Truth to tell, we're not just too sure what we were watching but it was most certainly exciting. It's also Klondike Joe and the Queen By James Marsh In 1917 a terrible war raged across Europe. In Romania, in Eastern Europe. panic spread as the German Army approached the capital city of Bucharest. The Romanians packed up the crown jewels and a fortune in gold and sent it to Moscow for safekeep- ing. Though Russia was an ally of Great Britain in the war, it was now in the midst of a revolution. A group called the Bolsheviks had taken power and killed the royal family. Now the Romanians feared that the Bolsheviks would seize their treasures and that Russia would fail to send the promised food and supplies to the Romanian soldiers as winter approached. In desperation, the Romanians turned to a Canadian for help. His name was Joe Boyle and a series of adventures had brought him here. lie had made his fortune in the Klondike Gold Rush.

After the Bolsheviks took power, they made him responsible for the collection and distribution of food. - A b F Now BoyleHF—RJ made his way P R back to Muscow. He organized a train of 155 cars and loaded it with hundreds of thousands of coals, socks, blan- kets, sweaters and other items of warm clothing. He loaded the crown jewels and the gold into ordinary baskets to avoid suspi- cion. His men fired up the steam engine and the train headed towards Romania. When the Bolsheviks stopped and boarded the train, Boyle told them it was on an important diplomatic mis- sion. "For which country," they asked. "Canada" be answered and though they had never beard of it, they let him proceed. The train steamed on.

Russian engineer, took control himself and ran the locomotive through the barrier. Yet another blockade succeeded in stopping the train, but it turned out to be one built by Romanians. Queen Marie of Romania described Boyle in her diary as "a curiously fascinating man who is afraid of nothing." The two fell in love and Boyle stood by her through her country's troubled times. Later Boyle negotiated a peace treaty between Romania and the Bolsheviks. On yet another ven- ture he rescued 54 Romanian pris- oners being kept as hostages at Sevastopol inside Russia. Boyle was a national hero in Romania. He received the highest awards for bravery not only from Romania but from Russia, France and Great Britain.

Garbed in colourful and, presumably, stylized native costumes, the spirted troupe filled the venerable Massey Hall stage with percussion and dance such as one rarely ever experiences. It was frenetic but never, ap- parently, out of control. And, the energy is endless. Just when one thought the company must surely be exhaused, the female dancers turned on the afterburners - literally - and whipped the audience up into still more en- thusiasm. The curatin calls were many and well deserved. Tonight, we attend a new production by The National Ballet of Canada at The O'Keefe. It's Romeo and Juliet and we promise not to essay any comparison. COMMENT: The recent wildcat and shortlived walk out of a few police officers - during which the public was never at hazard - has had every half baked lefto braying all sorts of specious nonsense. Of course, those police should not have walked out and of course some sort of penalty should be levied upon them. But, hasn't anyone enough sense to realize just how sorely pressed they must have been to take such drastic - albeit brief - action? Come on Public, get up off your collective duffs and show some more sup- port for your police. When you're in danger who would you rather call ... a police officer or some airy fairy politico swilling at the public trough? FAST EXIT: "A policeman's lot is not a happy one." W. S. _Gilbert. travel Freshwater Sole On Ice Candy may be dandy but, in Minnesota, fishermen will proudly proclaim that ice is Nice! While many communities like to hunker down and wait out winter, the hearty residents of the state with 10,000 lakes celebrate winter in just about the same way as they do in the summer, by fishing. Avid anglers will never let a couple of feet of ice stand between them and walleye pike. In, January and February fishermen from all over the world travel to Minnesota to bore holes in frozen lakes, drop in lines and catch the big ones. Tiny towns like Spicer and Menagha come alive when the Mercury hits 0. In January and February, they honour the sport of ice fishing by staging winter angling festivals, the likes of which you won't see anywhere else on the plate- Since the state has more shoreline than California and Hawaii put together, winter anglers will never ruts out of palaces to try their luck' Minnesota waters are estimated to hold more than 400 million fish, including walleyes, bass, mashie and trout - so there are rewards waiting underneath every hole in the ice no matter what community you are near. Throughout the lakes region in the middle of the state. there are a study stream of family fishing derbies, cash tournaments for the pros and even ice fishing carnivals. Since these events require thick ice, everyone in Minnesota fervently prays for a white Christmas and sub -zero temperatures. Near the Canadian border, International Falls, the host of the annual January Icebox Days ( the name says it all! ) have set up a thermometer downtown to prove that the town really deserves the monicker of "The Icebox of the Nation". The business of fishing in winter goes beyond cutting a round hole in the ice and dropping in a hook with worms. There is a science to the sport, special baits, tip up gear (to let you know a fish is on the line) and arctic -fish -finding elec- tronic equipment are used by all the successful fishermen. Minnesota's frigid conditions (the pray- ing usually works) means the ice on the lakes is thick enough to support the weight of ice huts, snowmobiles and trucks. Fishermen set up heated `fish houses' - small floorless buildings that are placed overtop of fishing holes - on frozen lakes each winter. Nameless towns spring up each year out on the frozen lakes, and these communities last from December until the end of February. A fish house city near Nisswa in the central region of the state is made up of over 5,000 huts and the temporary inhabitants even elect a mayor! Fishing lodges remain open all winter to house the ice anglers. Fishermen and women don't usually sleep in the ice huts, although there are rentable deluxe fishing huts that come com- plete with wood heaters, cots. TVs and room for 5 we holes. Lake Winnibigoshish and the Cut Foot Sioux area in the mid state region and their municipal workers plow roads onto the takes so that anglers can get to their huts via car, snowmobile or cross- country skis. It is a given that during the winter there is always going to be an ice fishing event somewhere in Min- nesota. Some of the more popular events include the annual January Brainerd Jaycee Ice Fishing Con- test, oo-test, the Family Fishing Derby in Menahga and the February Lake Minnewask Ice Fishing contest. For information about specific winter fishing events contact the Min- nesota Travel Information centre at (8001 657-3700.

Festivals USA 1995, a handy 28 -page booklet, is produced by the United States Travel and Tourism Administration. "Consumers will find the information in the booklet useful when planning their business trip or vacation," said Bill Tappe, Regional Director of Canada for the United States Travel and Tourism Administration (USTTA). The listings focus on music, arts, sports, rodeos, and Indian culture. Each listing provides details on the name of the event, date, and local contact informa- tion including the address, telephone and fax numbers. A summary of Wales - land of Whether or not you have ever visited Wales you have proba- bly associated the mountain- ous principality with an endur- ing reputation for song and rugby, and those who have watched the red shined players take to the field know that sometimes both go together. But for the traveller interest- ed in antiquity it is a land of enduring interest as home to some of the world"s most famous castles, built by a suc- cession of "foreign" invaders in an ongoing effort to subdue the tenacious Celtic race. Four of the castles in Wales, Beaumaris, Caernarfon, Conwy, and Harlech are listed on the World Heritage List as sites of universal value, a list which includes such famous places as the Taj Mahal, or the ruins of the Inca city of Machu in Peru. Built to conquer The strongholds were built by the English monarch King Edward 1 (1272-1307) as part of his determination to con- quer the country at the end of the 13th century. They repre- sent the most sophisticated examples of medieval military architecture in the British Isles, but it was a costly endeavour that came close to bankrupting the kingdom. Caernarfon castle, on the Shores of the Mcnai Strait in North Wales, earned its place in modern history when Ch,ulcs was invested there as Prince of Wales in 1969. Conwy, with its eight hand- some towers seeming to spring from the rock which dictated the castle's layout is thought by many to be the most attrac- tive of King Edward's strong- holds. Outside the castle there is a fine and complete set of town walls built to defend the borough, established by Edward in 1284. The walls extend for some 1300 metres with 21 towers and three dou- ble -towered gateways. Harlech stands on a rocky crag perched precipitously 200 feet above the coastal flat, and epitomizes Edward's desire to put an end to the "malice of the Welsh" with an iron ring of mighty castles on the North Wales coast. It was completed in 1289. captured by the Welsh hero Owain Glyndwr in 1404 and held for four years. It again saw action in the Wars of the Roses (1455-87) and the civil war (1642148). Perfect example Beaumaris, sited in a charming little seaside resort on the Isle of Anglesey was the last and the largest of the strongholds built by Edward. Construction began in 1295 and over 2000 labourers and more than 400 skilled crafts- men worked on the site. It was never totally completed to the original scheme because of costs, but it remains the most perfect example of a 'concen- tric' (walls within walls) cas- tle in the British Isles. To the south in Cardiff. now the capital city, the Roman legions built a fort during their initial assault on South Wales. The fort was rebuilt in stone in the 3rd century. In 1081, only 15 years after his invasion of England. William the Conqueror chose the spot for a castle and threw up the great earthen motte inside the earlier Roman walls, and throughout the Middle Ages the lords of GIamorgan added to the stronghold. In the 19th century the 3rd Marquess of Bute set in hand a complete restoration under the direction of William Burges ir-ho created a fantastic vision of the feudal past. and made the castle perhaps the most bizarre building of the Victorian era. Lavish murals cover many rooms and the Arab room is riotously exotic, with a ceiling carved from solid stone and covered in gold leaf. The fantasy continues at Wed.

Everywhere there is color and symbolism. Aesop's Fables cover the walls of the drawing room and the stone ribs of the ceiling appear to fall from a sky full of stars and birds. Lady Bute"s bedroom is another riot of fantasy and color, complete with a scarlet and gold bed. Less than 19 kilometres away stands one of the great- est surviving fortresses of the medieval western world, Caerphilly Castle, which cov- ers a vast 30 -acre site. The castle was begun in 1268 by Gilbert de Clare (Gilbert the Red), earl of Gloucester. It was attacked and burned by Llywelyn the Last in 1270, retaken by the earl in the next year, and building centirued until his death in 1255. No tour of the castles of Wales would be complete without a visit to Chepstow standing high on a cliff over the swirling waters of the Wye, guarding ome of the prin- cipal crossings from southern England into Wales. Begun bcfcwe 1071 by a trusted com- panion of William the Conqueror, the great keep is the earliest stone -built secular building in the country.

There is a charge of $2 per minute for the phone service. The booklet may also be obtain- ed through a travel agent. This year its goal is $135,000. The Heart and Stroke Foundation's success in sustaining world class car- diovascular research in Ontario is due entirely to the enthusiasm, energy and generosity of its volunteers and donors. Their efforts have allowed the foundation to fund two- thirds of all heart and stroke research in Ontario, yet it can only provide 40 per cent of the dollars re- quested for qualified research. Heart disease and stroke account for 39% of deaths in Canada.

THE GLOBAL CITIZEN by Kunsangla Jamyangl- ing Looking at the world to- day with all of its feuding and bloodshed, it is obvious that there are still a great number of people who see themselves and others as faiths and colours first and human beings last. In a world where ap- pearances take precedence over moral character, where hate perpetuated by ignorance destroys any hope for peace, it is dif- ficult to conceive of in- dividuals who can shed their labels and groupings and see each other essen- tially as people. As all peo- ple are citizens of one na- tion or another, members of a specific cultural, racial or linguistic group, the cm- cept of global citizenship is a perfectly alien one. The majority of the world's population feels that there are no such peo- ple as global citizens and that none will ever come to be. The fact is that we are all global citizens and that it is merely a question of time before we awaken to the truth and assume our holes and responsibilities as such. The few people who are already aware of it themselves realize that the air, water and land belong to everyone, that if they are polluted you not only harm those who live closest to it, but that you harm yourself. Their belief is that the con- tinued maintenance of this planet, like any other home, is the responsibility of each and every in- dividual who resides there, whether that entails preserving wildlife several thousand miles away, or recycling the paper you read every day. Lastly and most significantly, the maintenance of the planet involves the maintenance of the human race. It is the proper maintenance of the human race that seems to be the most difficult responsibility to assume. Conflict after conflict arises: the more powerful nations intervene: there is a temporary standstill, and the conflict resumes its past course. The reason why these interventions fail is simple - the parties involved are never educated properly about each other: their ignorance of one another leaves a great margin for inter- pretation and, more times than not. the actions of the opposite side are inter- preted as hostile. Supposed hostility is answered by hostility and so the cycle continues. If we are to achieve true world peace and see ourselves as global citizens, all part of one family. the human family. it is crucial that we learn to see one another as members of the only race that matters, the race of humanity. Since birth we are socialized and conditioned to think, behave and believe the things that our parents or guardians teach us. In the mind of almost every adult there is a bias, stereotype or belief that has been placed there by a parent or guardian. As children it is often difficult to decipher whether what we are being taught is wrong, hateful or good. As adults this explanation is no longer justified, as it now becomes one's own du- ty to seek out the truth and what is right and to weed out falsehoods and what is wrong. We must do our best to pass on all of the goodness and tolerance that we have learned and vow to stop the spread of vicious ignorance that has been passed down, generation to generation. If we are to change this world for the better and realize that we are all equal citizens of one global nation, a great change must take place in our minds and in our hearts. We must remove the boun- daries which we have created. Racial, ethnic and political boundaries are all there and, even though it is impossible to ignore the fact that the person next to you is of a different race or religion. it is possible to befriend him or her based on nothing else but his her moral character and ac- tions. We can change the world if we remember to fight ig- norance and not one another. Trend -setting pasta makes good nutrition easy Carrot, green onion, garlic and fresh lin fn add d� ...... Pork and Lentil Spaghettini. Promoting healthy eating is the focus of Nutrition Month and as Canadians become more familiar with the basics of good nutrition, they're finding out that adopting good eating habits can be easy to do and very rewarding in the taste department.

Naturally low in fat and an energy -building complex car- bohydrate, this food favorite can be quickly and easily prepared. Pasta is generally made from hard durum wheat, but there are also a number of newer dried pasta varieties available which have excep- tional nutritional benefits in- cluding whole wheat pastas. added fibre pastas and added protein pastas. Here are three recipes that deliver great taste, good nutrition and to top if all off, don't take up a lot of time in the kitchen. Added Protein Spagheitini with Pork, Lentils and Fresh Thyme makes an ideal week - ,4 ,1 -to -make day dinner. Packed with pro- tein and fibre. this dish fea- tures simple ingredients and saves time by using a pre- pared low-fat mushroom and green pepper pasta sauce.
