4 Days Off
by Bob Watson
Well, many of us who do not work for a government or the
post office, did not enjoy the 4 days from Good Friday
through Saturday. Sunday- and Easter Monday this past
weekend.
We can understand a holiday for Good Friday and Easter
Sunday but Saturday and Easter Monday do not seem to be
included in Christian religous ceremonies.
Now the banks were closed Good Friday but they were
open Saturday, closed Sunday and open Easter Monday.
This seems like a much better business system than having
all those publicly paid civil servants with four days in a row
Off.
We believe the Easter Monday holiday is a holiday for no
good reason and it adds a slowdown to our economy which
is trying to recover from a 5 years' recession.
The Debt Just Soars
Letter to the editor:
So we have a brand new federal and provincial budget for
1995 — My' My' what else is new. Remember Trudeau right
through to Mulroney to Chretien were all cutting expen-
ditures, while th debt continued to soar. Just look at it now.
right out of sight. Canada is a resource rich country and
heading swiftly into bankruptcy.
Impossible you say. but our politicians and experts are do-
ing it right under our eyes. Canada will soon be a third
world countgry yet we keep giving money we do not have to
other countries and we give some of that money to bolster
up another country's money when our dollar is going down.
What went %Tong" It does not take an expert to figure out
why we have this huge debt. You are well aware if you
spend a thousand dollars more every yar over what you
take it and never pay it back, the debt becomes so large you
have to declare bankruptcy But just think, while this took
place in Canada. many people in the public and in govern-
ment have profited while many others went without that
great standard of living we in Canada are supposed to have.
It seems the rulers of Canada try to balance the budget on
the backs of the middle class and the poor.
In Canada we seem to have poverty amidst plenty, a truly
deplorable situation. Is this the great "free market"
system' Or is the public brain -washed' Is this the kind of
Canada the youth of our great land fought for and many
died for' And some still live with scars from those times.
When are Canadians going to realise our elected officials
and experts are not doing their job' It is time Canadians
had control of their officials at all times through the power
of recall.

Metro Council News
from Norm Kelly
Councillor Scarborough -Wexford
Notice Of Motion
On AprAth Metro Councillor Norm Kelly, Scarborough
Wexford. introduced a Notice of Motion at Metro Council,
asking its staff to consider the benefits of the amalgamation
of the area's six municipalities to form one government for
Metro Toronto. Kelly has also recommended that the
results of the study be presented to the Intergovernmental
Affairs Committee of Metropolitan Council, which would
present them to the Golden Task Force, recently establish-
ed by Premier Bob Rae to reform regional government in
the G.T.A.
Kelly feels that, to -date, the debate on Metro's future has
been simplistic and limited to a variation on one theme -
eliminate Metro. "This debate is crucial to Metro's pro-
sperity. If the review is to be serious and productive, all the
options with respect to political reform must be considered
and we must not ignore the most obvious one — amalgama-
tion'
"There will be immediate, concrete benefits to
amalgamation in 1997". Kelly predicts. "Among them will
be: lower taxes, faster decision-making, more effective
planning for the city's economic growth in the international
marketplace, more accountable decision-making and
greater clout in dealing with other jurisdictions."
Kelly believes that life in Metro Toronto has changed
dramatically and permanently. The prosperous offspring of
an expiring age. Toronto must now review and reorganize
itself for the tougher, less forgiving environment of the next
millenium.
"The Golden Task Force represents a golden opportunity
for Metro to shape its future," Kelly warns. "Let's not miss
it."

Welcomes Bill C-216
Human Resources Development Minister Lloyd Axworthy
has welcomed adoption of Bill C-216, which received Royal
Assent on Sun. Mar.26. This Private Member's Bill, spon-
sored by Guy Arsenault I Lib.-Restigouche-Chaleur►, allows
UI recipients to continue to collect benefits while perform-
ing their civic duty as jurors.
"In the past, claimants would lose their U1 benefits while
serving jury duty," the Minister said. "Passage of this bill
resolvels this unjust situation."
Bill C-216 took effect March 27 . 1995. Prior to the passage
of this Bill, when UI claimants were selecteld for jury duty,
they could either serve and forfeit their benefits or they
could ask to be dismissed by the judge. Dismissal of pro-
spective candidates sometimes made it difficult for judges
to find adequate numbers of jurors.
This amendment to the Unemployment Insurance Act en-
sures that Canadians will be tried by juries of their peers
selected from a representative cross-section of the popula-
tion.
"I take this opportunity to congratulate Guy Arsenault
for his efforts with this Bill," said the Minister. "This will
be the first time that a private member's Bill expanding
government expenditures, however modestly, is adopted by
the Parliament of Canada. This is an important moment in
the history of this legislature," added the Minister.

Who Pays for High Drug Costs?
Do you ever think about
the price you're paying for
prescription drugs? Since
many Canadians are covered
by some kind of health plan,
it's unlikely they think about
how much they're paying
out every week, month or
year.
Few people actually think
about the total tact because
they think someone else is
footing the bill. But while
the money may not be com-
ing directly from our own
pockets, we all pay for ex-
pensive drugs and health
care.
Drugs Push
Health Costs Higher
Canada's health care sys-
tem is spinning into crisis,
due in part to skyrocketing
drug costs. Drugs now out-
pace doctors' fees as the
most inflationary part of
health care costs. Plus, the
federal government is slash-
ing funds it gives to the pro-
vinces to pay for health care.
If something isn't done to
control costs, we'll run out
of money to pay for the
health care services Canadi-
ans have come to expect.
One solution is to use
more generic drugs. On
average, generic drugs cast
40 to 50 per cent less than
their brand-name equiv-
alents, but offer the same
quality and efficacy. In fact,
the only difference is the
price.
If you're covered by a
provincial drug plan,
chances are you're already
using generic drugs. The
decision by some provinces
to pay only for lower-cost
generic drugs rather than
more expensive, brand-
name equivalents has helped
governments take a giant
step towards controlling
drug costs. For example, in
April 1994, British Colum-
bia's provincial drug plan
switched to paying only for
"lower cost" drugs, which it
estimates will save about
$20 million in the first year
alone.
Higher Drug Prices
Mean Higher Premiums
People covered by private
plans at work should be con-
cerned about the amount of
money they're paying for
prescription drugs, too. The
more an insurance company
is forced to pay for drugs,
the higher your premiums
and deductibles will be
down the rend.
Many companies arc
asking their employees to
use generic drugs whenever
they're available. Consider
if your doctor prescribed a
common antibiotic like
Amoxycillin for you or your
child. You would have the
choice between two identi-
cal products: the brand name
which costs on average 18
cent-% a pill, or the generic,
which is only about 10
cents. If you were paying for
it yourself, you'd almost
certainly choose the lower
cost generic. Even if your
drug plan covers the cost,
the generic is still the best
choice, because you'll help
save the system money.
:More Generics
Mean Bigger Savings
We could save even more
if there were more generics
on the market. Right now,
federal patent legislation re-
stricts availability of low
cost generics by giving long
monopoly periods to brand
name drug manufacturers.

What can you do? Brenda
Drinkwalter, President of
the Canadian Drug Manu-

"Canadians can take an ac-
tive role in helping reduce
drug costs by asking their
doctor or pharmacist for a
generic drug when they need
medication. Then can also
write to their !NP or MPP
and ask them what they're
doing to make generics
more readily available. Tell
them that creating a fairer

HIGHWAY 404 WIDENING
NOTICE OF PUBLIC INFORMATION CENTRES
The Ministry of Transportation (MTO) is completing a study to
determine long term improvements to Highway 404, from
Highway 401, City of North York, Regional Municipality of
Metropolitan Toronto. northerly to Major Mackenzie Drive
(York Regional Road No.25), Towns of Markham and
Richmond Hill. Regional Municipality of York. The study also
includes provisions for high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes as
part of the highway widening. The study addresses issues
such as present operational deficiencies. future traffic
capacity needs, safety requirements, and a proposal to
increase the people carrying capacity of the highway by
introduction of high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes along
Highway 404. The design and construction of Highway 404
through Highway 4041407 and Highway 40417 interchanges is
being undertaken by the Ontario Transportation Capital Corp.
As a result of this study. MTO is proposing to widen Highway
404 to 10 basic lanes from Highway 401 to Highway 407. and to
8 basic lanes from Highway 407 northerly to Major Mackenzie
Drive. The widening will include the provision for one HOV
lane in each direction. Other improvements proposed include

Sheppard Avenue on Highway 404. MTO is also proposing to
upgrade 16th Avenue interchange and widen 16th Avenue from
existing four lanes to six lanes under Highway 404. The
proposed widening of Highway 404 will necessitate the
widening of the existing structures over Rouge River crossing,
and improvements to drainage and illumination.

Saving Time: Day- Timers' Tips
For Taking Control Of Your Life
"There's just not enough
hours in the day... minutes in
an hour... seconds in a
minute..." is a frequent com-
plaint of anyone trying to
juggle office, home and per-
sonal commitments. At the
same time. "doing more
with less" is the motto of the
'90s. The accelerated pace
of life demands effective
time management.
For more than 40 years.
Day -Timers has written the
book on time management
and has developed a
complete -4-dimensional-
time
4-dimensional"time management training
system. "The key to getting
a handle on your time is to
develop a plan that suits
your needs and sticking to
it." says Ron Bowen of Dav-
Timers of Canada. "A time
management program
should he easy to use. re-
lieve stress, and improve or-
ganization, communication
and delegation skills."
At Day -Timers, success-
ful time management re-
volves around four key
areas: Focus. Plan. Act and
Team up. 'Focus' is your vi-
sion for the future which
drives your actions. The
'Plan' should be an itinerary
for where you want to be
next week, next month, next
year and heycnd. The 'Act'
involves transforming goals
and plans into reality.
'Teaming up' means bring.
ing Others on board to work
with you to reach goals.
Day -Timers offers some
practical tips to gain control
of your time:
General guidelines
• Treat time like a valua-
ble resource and invest it
wisely.
• prep long-range, priori-
tized. written goals.
• Plan long-term goals as
far into the future as you
can anticipate.
• Take time for a daily
planning session. Every
hour of planning saves
two or three hours of
false starts.
• Spend a week taking
note of all your activities
and how much time they
take. You'll quickly
identify the time
wasters.
At the office
For meetings:
• Try holding meetings
standing up. It will cut
meeting time in half.
• Be well prepared. This
will ensure meetings run
quickly and smoothly.
Taking time to prepare
and using an agenda can
cut meetings time.
At tour deck:
• Know your personal
time patterns. Identify
the time of day when
your energy and concen-
tration are at their peak
and schedule your more
important work for that
time.
• Do one thing at a time
when thought is re-
quired.
• Prioritize tasks over the
course of an entire week.
• Clean your desk each
day before you leave to

There are also sections

manageable tasks.
• Set deadlines for each
task.
• When you feel yourself
drifting, take a short
break to restore energy.
Go for a walk around the
block.
At home
• Rise early and retire
early. Get an early start
on the day.
• Limit TV viewing. It
eats up hours of time.
• Establish a balanced ex-
ercise routine.
Pcrsnnal Health Managenim
Finding the time to fit per-
sonal health management
into your everyday lifestyle
is no easv task. A recent sur-
vey found that 78 per cent of
American workers list "in-
creasing exercise" as a per-
sonal goal. 59 per cent want
to "eat better" and 40 per
cent would like to "reduce
stress at work". However,
only 32 per cent have met
their exercise goals and are
eating better, and a mere 15
per cent have reduced stress.
To help Canadians man-
age their personal health
more effectively. Dav-
Timers has introduced an
unique personal health man-
agement planner caped The
Afavo Clinic Healthy Life-
stOe Planner from Dav-
Tuners.
"Our planner gives you
the tools for maintaining a
healthy lifestyle, so you can
take control of your life. -
says Mr. Bowen. "It shows
you where to make changes
and homy to integrate those
changes into your lifestyle."
The interactive lifestyle
planner supplies the strate-
gies and motivational tools
to help busy individuals
assess, plan and achieve a
healthy lifestyle and can be
customized to meet personal
needs and schedules. The
package includes self-
assessment checklists, daily
menu planners, personal fit-
ncss tracking forms, cxcr-
cise suggestions, tabbed
health information, colour-
ful reward stickers, an intro-
ductory audio cassette and a
free six-month subscription
to the Mayo Clinic Health
Letter.

AS consumers, choosing

the environment is not
always easy — these days
almost every product claims
to be "green:- or--cnvir nmen-

The EcoLogo — three
doves intertwined to form a
maple Icaf — represents
government, industry and
consumers working together
to protect Canada's cnviron-
menv
t. Created bv Eniron-
mcnt Canada, the EcoLogo
symbol helps consumers
identify products and serv-
ices that are more en-
vironmentally responsiblc.
When you see the EcoLogo
on a labcl, it means the pro-
duct has met or exceeded
stringent guidelines to en-
sure it is significantly less
harmful to the cnvironment.
The EcoLogo can be
found on over 14(1) products
that are made or offered in
ways that improve energy-
effdciencv, reduce hazardous
by-products, use recycled
materials, or because the
product itself can be re-
cycled. From low -pollution
paint to re -refined motor oil,
water -saving shower heads
to low mercury batteries,
you can find EcoLogo-
certified products in depart-
ment, hardware, and some
grocery stores.
Most Canadians want to
use their purchasing power
to ensure that the world is a
"greener" place — for them-
selves and future genera-
tions. But in a marketplace
filled with many unproven
claims, selecting the most
environmentally responsible
products can be challenging.

April Is Dental Health Month For Sports
Mouth guards, not just for
hockey and football
Most people know that
mouth protection is recom-
mended for vigorous sports
like hockey and footballl,
but they don't realize that
dental injuries happen
every day in basketball,
baseball, soccer and other
sports. But protection is
available for these sports
too.
A new hatter's helmet
developed for baseball has
a clear moulded plastic
guard over the mouth area.
This all but eliminates the
risk of a blew to the mouth
with a ball or bat.
A soft plastic cover has
been developed for the net
portion of the new ad-
justable basketball nets
common in neighbourhood
driveways. Children were
getting their teeth caught
in the net and ripped out as
the mesh fldpped toward
them after a slam bunk.

and fat are a leading cause of
kitchen fires.
• Never throw water on a
grease fire or turn on an over-
head fan - this will only
spread the fire. Smother it
with a lid or use baking soda
or a dry chemical fire extin-
guisher. Don't carry a bum-
ing pot outside.
• Don't block the air vents of a
microwave oven. It must
have a sufficient air flow to
operate properly.
• Items that you use for cook-
ing should not be stored
above the stove - you could
be burned reaching for them.
• Keep oven and stove areas
free of clutter. Stacks of
paper, cookbooks, grocery
bags, towels, curtains, wood
utensils, pot holders and gar-
bage baskets can all catch fire
in seconds if they come in
contact with a flame.
• Never leave the stove or oven
unattended while cooking,
especially if children are
around. A fire can break out
and start spreading in sec-
onds.
• Make stove controls easy to
read from a distance. For ex-
ample, you could mark -off"
with a bright red dot.

Canadian dentist in-
strumental in protecting
players against mouth,
face and bead injuries.
Dr. Art Wood of
Mississauga. co -inventor of
the first external mouth
guard, has gone on to in-
fluence the development of
much of the head. face and
mouth protection used in
sports today. A minor
hockey coach in the 1950s.
Dr. Wood saw first hand
many of the injuries that
used to be an accepted part
of the game.
He set to inventing a
mouth guard that would
protect his players.
Dr. Wood's mouth guards
were attached to the rather
flimsy helmets that were
common at the time. His
complaints about this head
gear were heard by a
senior government official
who asked Dr. Wood what
more could be done.
This led to the formation
of a Canadian Standards
Association committee, a
committee that has
developed standards for
the protective head and
mouth wear we take for
granted today. What's
more, the work of Dr. Wood
and his CSA committee has
influenced sports safety
standards around the
world.

The team dentist, what's
involved...
Dr. Bill Henry is the team
dentist for the Ottawa
Senators hockey team. He,
like other National Hockey
League team dentists, is on
hand at all home games to
treat dental injuries to
players from his team and
the opposition. And he does
not just treat injuries, he
helps protect them by sup-
plying players with a
mouth guard!, custom
nto Summer Safely
• Never store flammable pro-
ducts near or in a stove or
oven (e.g. pizza boxes. plas-
tic containers). You may for-
get they are there and the next
time you tum on the oven
they'li catch fire.
• Accumulated dust is com-
bustible. Check the vent over
your stove as blocked vents
mean an increased chance of
grease fires. Replace the ex-
haust hoof filters regularly.
Fire Extinguishers
• When using an extinguisher
remember to PASS - Pull the
pin: Aim low; Squeeze the
Handle and Sweep from side
to side.
• Store fire extinguishers in an
accessible area (preferably
bracketed to the wall near an
exit) but not next to the oven
because flames could prevent
you from getting to it.
• Unused fire extinguishers
can lose their pressure - fol-
low the manufacturer's direc-
tions to make sure the pres-
sure in your equipment is still
adequate. If not, have it re-
charged.
Basement
• Before you start any base-
ment project (e.g. furniture
stripping) that involves the
use of solvents, turn off your
- water heater, furnace and
other heating appliances, in-
cluding any pilot lights. The
use of paint, varnish or glue
can lead to a build up of
volatile fumes. Fumes and
open flames don't mix. Better
yet, if it's nice outside, why
work indoors?
• When working in a confined
area with solvents, open a
window or use fans for extra
ventilation.
• Rags that have absorbed oil,
paint, glut and other chemi-
cals, fuels or solvents are ex-
tremely flammable. In fact,
they can burst into flames
spontaneously. Store soiled
rags outdoors in a closed
metal container. Better yet,
dispose of them promptly and
never store indoors.
• Make sure you clean the lint -
collector in the clothes dryer
after each use. Also check the
dryer exhaust pipe periodi-
cally to make sure it is lint
free.
Fuses
• A fuse is an electrical safety
valve: if too much current
passes through it, a wire in-
side melts and stops the flow
of the current. When a fuse
blows, it's a sign of danger.
Either the lines have been
overloaded or there's a break
in the wires along the line (in
an appliance cord, a switch,
or inside the wall).
• Remember to check your
fuse box during your clean
up! is it equipped with the
proper sized fuses'' Are spare
fuses handy"
• if you are blowing fuses re-
peatedly, don't just keep re-
placing them or re -setting the
circuits. Track the line and
discover the source of the
problem. If you have to, call
an electrical contractor to
evaluate your system.
As you complete all those
spring projects on your list,
taking the time to evaluate your
home and property for safety
will pay off!

13f11 Watt's Worlds
At The Opera
Your Column refuses to
join those who regard
Donizetti as a minor com-
poser. It's correct to say.
however, that his superb
technical facility virtually
commands his music to be
always melodic. Con-
comitantly, his lighter
(narrative wise that is)
operas are more successful
than his header works.
L'Elisir d'Amore and La
Fille du Regiment. for ex-
ample, are delightful
trifles that can pass muster
even as operettas. Lucia di
Lammermoor, though, it's
more evocative of sunny
Italy than gloomy
Scotland. It's a fine opera
but not true to the spirit of
the Sir Walter Scott novel
upon %•Nish it is based. At
the final curtain one ap-
preciates artistry but does
not feel passion.
The Canadian Opera Com-
pany production of Lucia at
The O'Keefe approaches
being the exception that
proves the rule. Sets.
costuming and lighting are
heavy and suitably dark.
Indeed were this a straight
play it would do credit to
Scott. But there's the all
pervasive Donizetti score
that compels the collective
ear but denies full
dramatic expression to the
singers.
Young-ok Shin in the title
role is a case in point. She
is exquisite in appearance
and bearing and the
possessor of a voice of
angelic purity. She is not,
however, the character
that one thinks of as I.ucia.
She lacks the fire of the
highlands. Forgetting
physical appearance, she is
more Butterfly than Lucia.
Even so. her singing con-
quers all. It's recollective
of early Lily Pons in its
soaring leaps of height and
trills of melody. Simply
thrilling.
Tenor Michael Rees Davis
is also ineffective in his
role of Edgardo. Instead of
dash, one experiences
almost childishness. It's
not that the gentleman
lacks actino ability or
vocal power; it's simply
that the score isn't conso-
nant with the role.
Baritone Sigmund Cowan
fates somewhat better as
the despotic and
duplicitous Enrico but en
fin, only bass -baritone
Gary Relyea as the sym-
pathetic Raimondo suc-
ceeds as a Scott character.
Richard Buckley conducts
with fine and loving
authority but the direction
of Frank Matthus is rather
too busy. Perhaps he's try-
ing to create the drama
otherwise missing but his
efforts are in vain and in
the end Donizetti triumphs
over Scott.
Curtain Call
Gary Relyea will be a
featured performer in
Noye's Fludde, the Chester
Miracle Play that is to be
performed across North
America in celebration of
the 50th anniversary of the
United Nations.
Toronto appearances will
be on June 9th and loth at
St.Anne's Anglican
Church.
On Screen
Ian Fleming, the creator
of James Bond, wrote that
the only difference between
guardians of the law and
criminals is the side of the
law they have chosen. In
other words, ends justify
means, however
despicable they t the
methods) might be. This is
amply illustrated in Kiss of
Death ( Twentieth Century
Fox ) scheduled for na-
tional release this Friday.
It's based upon, though not
a remake of the 1947 film
that catapulted Richard
Widmark to stardom as a
maniacally sadistic killer.
David Caruso, late of
N Y.P.D Blue is the
nominal star as a decent
man trying to go straight
after an earlier life of
crime but forced back into
it by the law as well as the
underworld in exchange for
eventual freedom. Samuel
L. Jackson is a police of-
ficer who wrongfully
believes him to have been
the cause of his physical
wfferings Nic "as Cage
Around and About
Your Dining &Entertainment Guide
is a psychotic killer
desparately seeking the ap-
proval of his gang lord
father. All three perform
their roles well and Cage
especially, is rivetting as
the psycho.
In the end, though, the pic-
ture is stolen by Stanley
Tucci and Anthony Heald
as respectively], a D.A. and
a mob lawyer. Both are ab-
solute essence of smooth
scumbaggery as each pur-
sues his own aim with little,
if any, regard for the law:
only what each can derive
from it.
It's their performances
that keep Kiss of Death
from being just another
shoot 'em up.
We haven't always been
too kindly disposed to Equi-
ty Showcase Theatre and
its choice of plays. One
can't, however. criticize its
choice of Shakespeare's
Measure for Measure
which begins tomorrow
evening at the Studio
Theatre, Harbourfront
under the direction of Kate
Lynch.
Previewing tonight and
opening tomorrow evening
at Solar Stage is a new pro-
duction of Paper Wheat in a
debut performance by
Solar Stage's Young Com-
pany. Paper Wheat was
created in 1977. It deals
with the settlement of
Saskatchewan at the turn
of the century and the ef-
forts of farmers to farm a
co-operative movement.

over at Stage West until
May 28th. Starting on May
31st will be Don Knotts in
Harvey. So far as we're
aware• it will be the first
time the renowned comic
has appeared in Toronto.
Harvey is a delightful
comedy about Elwood P.
Dowd and his imaginary,
invisible six foot tall rabbit.
The role was created by the
late Frank Fay and was
later transferred to the
screen by Jimmy Stewart
in a less than memorable
performance that was
overshadowed in any case
by Josephine Hull.
Nobody, however, can
overshadow Mr. Knotts
when he's in full, comic
flight.
(lub Scene
We attended at July Jazz
(370 King St.W.) for the
debut performance of
Clayten Laker. Unfor-
tunately• our schedule was
so tight that we had to
leave for another engage-
ment ( the opera actually)
before he appeared. We
understand that he was a
triumph.
However. we did finally
have the opportunity to
check out Judy Jazz and
can attest that it's
beautifully set up for live
performances. The sight
lines are good and relaxed
contours should offer good
acoustics.

Macaranas' triumph
came down to an adjourned
game against veteran
player Uno H. Wesingi
(Pickering -1991 Rating)
and an unplayed game
against friend and com-
petitor Romeo E. Soriano
( Scarborough -2030 Rating -

Macaranas won the former
against Wesingi but lost the
latter against Soriano;
however, winning one of
these two games was suffi-

0.5 points ahead of defen-

Child discipline helps children learn the rules, experience the
consequences of their behaviour and develop an understanding of
the decision-making process. Effective child discipline acknowledges
the temperaments and priorities of both children and parents. This
workshop offers a pain-free, flexible system which moves children
towards self-discipline. This workshop is appropriate for parents of
children from infancy to puberty.
Workshop leader Kathy Lynn is a career parenting educator who
has developed and conducted thousands of educational sessions
for parents and orofessionols across Canada.

"That's life," said
Mucignat. "Joey played
competitively throughout
and deserved to win! Hav-
ing won the adjourned
game with Uno, having
dominated me 1.5-0.5 in our
personal encounters, it was
enough to win. It is
understandable that a
psychological letdown
might have occurred in the
game with Romeo."
'Joey Macaranas is cur-
rently the dominant player
on the interregional slow -
play tournament circuit,
having won the 94:95 Open
and 94 95 Closed titles

'Well done!"
Soriano finished clear
third with 6-4, followed by
Wesingi in sole fourth posi-

The association also

Values in Scarborough
Public Schools
Working with parents and
guardians to contribute to
the development of values
in children is an important
priority in Scarborough
public schools. Fulfilling
this priority requires the
recognition that each child
is a unique individual with
physical, intellectual,
social, emotional and
spiritual dimensions.
Consistent with the policy
of the Ontario Ministry of
Education, environments
and programs in Scar-
borough schools promote
integrity and are founded
on values which Canadians
regard as essential to their
society.
These values reinforce the
democratic rights and
responsibilities of in-
dividuals, and are ground-
ed in a fundamental belief
in the worth of persons, ir-
respective of race, creed,
colour, sex or background.
At Lester B. Pearson C.L.
our goal is to encourage the
development of these
values in all members of
our school community:
A. courtesy and respect for
self and others.
B. personal, social and en-
vironmental responsibility,
C. commitment to a safe
and supportive learning en-
vironment.
D. self-discipline and com-
mitment to excellence.
