Retirement Incentive Plan Announced The board announced the implementation of a retire- ment incentive plan for its secondary teachers. The plan was developed as a result of the recent agree- ment signed by the board and O.S.S.T.F., District 17. It represents a window of early retirement oppor- tunity to ease the tem- porary layoffs of secondary teachers. Details of the plan will be sent im- mediately to all secondary schools. We Can Make a Difference Cl►aritable Foundation Five students from Bellwood P.S. were in at - speakers from various charitable organizations to make presentations to their class and have held an auc- tion and car wash to raise funds. Last fall, the students were given $10 loans with which to start small businesses. They have been very successful selling can- dy, making fridge magnets etc.,and will decide at their annual meeting in June which charities to support with the proceeds. The students, their teacher Bruce Williamson. and their principal, Wayne Price, were congratulated on the successful en- trepreneurship of the charitable foundation. Trustees commended the students' business abilities and thanked them for their efforts to support worthy organizations in their com- munity.

The federal government's Human Resources Development Bank "JOB BANK" is now available to those looking for jobs. The JOB BANK is -.`an easy-to-use system much like an automated bank teller. Job seekers (in- cluding students) can find details of both local and na- tional job openings in their field. In most cases they can go directly from the JOB BANK information to contacting an employer. Employers can also register their job vacancies with the JOB BANK ( with or without Canada Employ- ment Centre screening). "We are delighted to be able to extend our services to Pickering's economic community, both employers and job seekers." commented Library Board Chairman .Jill Foster. "Thecommuni- i y already makes use of our wide range of job and career information, in- cluding the Employment Clinic held each Thursday at the Central Library. The JOB BA.\'K adds a very practical and easy-to-use component to our business and economic services... In addition to searching for vacancies, users of the JOB BANK can also find in- formation on training and other government pro- grams (e.g. UlClegislation and benefits.

Some of our soldiers are in hostage by the Bosnian Serbs and there is discussion of what should be done. In our opinion, Canadian troops should be brought back home because the United Nations role in that divided land is of no use whatsoever. Then we should let the various part of Yugoslavia fight out their battle without NATO. Canada shouldn't waste our armed forces in stupid coun- tries which don't know what they are doing. Let the parts of that land fight it out without us and come to their own con- clusion. Congratulations Maureen It is great to see that former Metro Councillor Maureen Prinsloo has become head of the Metro Toronto Police Board. With her past background in local politics Maureen should be able to handle that job very well. Open Letter The Board of Trade of Metropolitan Toronto has followed the 19% municipal and school board budget debates across the Metro region. Though some determined effortrs were made to freeze and even reduce expenditures, property taxes will again rise in Metro this year. Combined Metro, city and school board expenditures re- main excessive by any measure. Total per capita property taxes generated by all classes are 40% to SD% higher than in any of the four other GTA regions, far in excess of any reasonable cost premium attributable to a "discriminatory" provincial grants structure or Metro's unique demographic and socio-economic profile. And as you know. this premium is greatly compounded for the commercial and industrial property classes by massive distortions in Metro's antiquated property assessment system, which has given rise to tax rates as much as 500% higher per square foot than in some non -Metro GTA municipalities. The overtaxation of Metro's business community should be of critical concert to all elected officials in Metro, since the social and economic health of the Metropolitan com- munity ultimately rests on the availability of employ)merit opportunities. 'Riese opportunities arestill failing to materialize here as the economic development of the outer GTA proceeds apace, aided and abetted by a much more hospitable property tax regime. We are aware that the Metro and school board mill rate in- creases were largely obliged by shrinkage in the assess- ment base caused by tax appeals and business relocatins--a self-perpetuating cycle which will continue to plague the local budgeting process until such time as the assessment, property tax and provincial grants systems are reformed. The ultimate result of these reforms, however, will only be the redistribution of existing tax sbu rdens, making perma- nent reductions in those burdens at least as important as objective as tax reform itself. Completion of the 1995 budgets is therefore no cause to relent in the quest for deep spending reductions, particular- ly in view of the pending expiry of the Social Contract in less than eleven months. We look forward to meaningful action on this front in the near future. Respectfully submitted, Stephens B. Lowden, FCA President, The Board of Trade of Metro Toronto.

DAVID SOMERVILLE Albertans overwhelmingly Support sweeping reform of their province's labour laws, accord- ing to a recently released poll. The Envirorpcs Research pod, commissioned by the group Ca- nadians Against Forced Union- ism. surveyed 1,002 Albertans and the results are considered accurate to wiMtim 3%,19 limes out of 20. The poll stowed that: - 85% believe unions shouidn't be able to use union dues to support a political party; - 91 % believe police should be required to lay charges against anyone who commits a violent act against persons or property during a strike; Poll Shows Support for Freedom 87% believe employees should have the right to elect all union officials through a secret mail ballot validated by an mde- ipendent third party; - 88% supported the same (method of voting on an employ- er's final contract offer before a strike; and - 87% believe employees should have the right to receive information directly from their employer during contract nego- tiations or during an attempt by a union to unionize the workplace. What was striking about the pod was that not only old support for these reforms verge on the unanimous but that Albertans across the political spectrum Strongly supported them. Most striking of all, however, was that rat only did unionized Albertans support these reforms but in some cases their support was substantially stronger than that of the general population. While this poll questioned Albertans only, it's likely that Bre views expressed in it are mir- rored across Canada. After all, it's not just Albertans who cher- ish our fundamental freedoms.

Consumer Tips for Buying Energy -Efficient Windows A well constructed Nindun ronin!•;,:, BEACHWOOD. Ohio (May 19, 1995) — Giant strides in window tcchnol- ogy have opened up a world of new options for today's window-huvers. No longer are price and style the over- riding concerns when select- ing new window's. Instead, with energy conservation playing a more prominent role in home building and remodeling, and window technology becoming in- creasingly sophisticated, to- day's value-conxcious con- sumers are looking heyond the basics and selecting win- dows that not only have the right look and price, but also provide the best energy value. "Whether building a new home or remodeling an older one, consumers should arm themselves with as much information as possi- ble about today's window technology," said Ric Jack- son, Marketing Manager with Tremco Inc. in Beach- wood, Ohio. "The wise con- sumer will work with his or her contractor to select draft -free, energy-efficient windows designed to pre- vent troublesome condensa- tion problems." To begin with. anyone in the market for new window's should learn what U -values arc. J.I. K, n said. U-%alucs mca.urr :`.crmal efficiency. haw:d on a w irkk)w's resis- tance to the flown of energy. Simply put, the lower the U - value, the more energy effi- cient the window. "Most of the new window technology has been di- rccted toward lowering U- yalues without adding extra cost," Jackson said. As a result, window manufacturers are focusing their technological efforts on increasing the thermal performance of the dual - pane glass window unit. The most significant develop- ments in this area include the use of three innovative technologies: warmer win- dow -edge seals: energy-sav- ing Low E glass coatings-, and argon gas. Warmer Window -Edge Technology Dual -pane windows are constructed with edge spac- ers that separate the two panes. Until recently, most window manufacturers used bulky aluminum edge spac- ers. However, because metal conducts energy, these spac- ers contributed significantly to the increase in U -values around the edge of a win- dow. Today, many window manufacturers are convert- ing to a new type of edge spacer constructed of a wa- fer-thin, corrugated metal strip embedded in black bu- tyl sealant. This new "warmer window -edge" technology is marketed worldwide by Tremco under the SwiggleTi 4 Seal label. The Swiggle Seal edge spacer is constructed of tmoisture-sealing, heat resis- tant polymers which reduce the flow of heat from around the window edge and pre- vent condensation from forming on window panes," .Jackson said. This system is Jesigned not only to keep the window edge warmer during cold weather, but also to reduce the flow of heat into the home during the hot summer month% and in wanner climates. Because Swiggic tical contains more moisture -re- sistant sealant and less metal than conventional edge spacers. it performs longer than other edge seal sys- tems. Greater resistance to moisture vapor keeps the dual -pant' unit fug free over the entire life of the window. ",&-E Glass A second factor to con- sider when selecting new windows is the relatively new low -emissivity, or '-ta)w E". technology. Low E glass is coated with a me- tallic film that improves a window's thermal perform- ance by preventing infrared radiant heat transfer while allowing light to pass through freely. "Infrared ra- diant heat transfer is nothing more than the movement of heat rays through glass," Jackson explained. Essentially, Low -E tech- nology helps reduce heating costs by reflecting heat ra- diation back into the home. This keeps the inside tem- perature of the window glass warmer, thus preventing that cold, uncomfortable feeling often associated with win- dows during the winter i Give A Gift That Lasts A11 Year! months. Low E coatings also reduce harmful ultraviolet rays that cause carpeting and upholstery to fade. Argon Gas One of the advantages to the previously mentioned warmer window -edge tech- nology is its proven ability to retain argon gas. Argon is the same colorless, inert gas used in ordinary incandes- cent light bulbs. It is now also being used by many window manufacturers to replace the air between insu- lating glass panes. Became it conducts Ies.. heat, it is a better insulator than is air. "The use of argon gas contributes to lower U -val- ues, provided the gas re- mains trapped between the panes," Jackson said. When shopping for window.% with argon, Jackson suggested consumers ask their c(mtrac- for or window supplier if the window has been tested for its ability to retain argon gas. Argon Yaks will reduce the thermal efficiency — and the rmxwtary valor — of a window. Swig;gle Scal is the only warm -edge insulating glass system that has passed the German DIN standard for argon -gas retention. "After a window has been installed is no time to dis- co%er that the product you've chosen is drafty, or that it allows condensation to form on window panes," Jackson said. "These prob- lems not only detract from the aesthetic quality of the windows, but also reduce their energy -efficiency and overall value." With a little common-sense research, Jackson added, consumers can learn how new advances in window technology can improve the comfort and value of their homes.

Education and Training Week provides the perfect opportunity to showcase what Bendale Business and Technical Institute has been doing to fulfil its com- mitment to provide a high quality, unique and alter- native curriculum for Scar- borough students who wish to pursue business and technical careers. Bendale's motto "Flourish Through Industry" could not be realized if it weren't for the partnerships which have been forged between the school and the Scar- borough community. On Apr.26, Bendale BTI hosted its now famous, Sixth Annual Scarborough Skills Challenge Technical Competition. Some 267 students, representing every Scarborough secon- dary school, experienced the exemplary state of technical education as they competed in a variety of technical challenges. Representatives from business and industry donated their time to judge students in skills competi- tions such as auto mechanics, upholstery, fashion design, hor- ticulture, cosmetology], drafting and design. wood- working and food services to name just a few. And to top off the excitement of this state of the art challenge, Pinball Clemons, a running back for the Toronto Argonauts, addressed the students at the award ceremony as the keynote speaker. Bendale boasts a thriving Co-operative Education program. which capitalizes on the generous commit- ment of businesses to pro- vide our students with work experience. According to Bill Brown and Al Cunn- ingham, our Co-op students are equally impressive! Terri Harrison is doing an outstanding job at the Grif- fin Mack Funeral Home, Louise Kane has been wonderful at the Cedarbrae Day Care, Louise Englefield has been a marvel at Bendale Acresl, Jason Melville is a mainstay at Bob Johnston Chev Olds., Latanya Lightbody is "wowing" them at Beaver Foods in the Civic Centre, Jim Ross is applying his artistic talent at Lithotech, Goce Petrevski is creating displayls at Lewis Craft, and Andrew Francis is con- tinuing his fine work at TDMJ Machine and Tool Co. It is anticipated that over 110 students will par- ticipate in a work ex- perience program this year. The next time you are in a local garage, hospital, business or school, and you see an eager student who is busy, helpful and involved in his or her learning, say "hello", for he or she is probablyl a Bendale co-op student! The staff and students of the Bendale Health Care Dept. continue to nurture its relationships with the seniors of Scarborough, through the Scrborough Support Services. In col- laboration with a number of the technical classes, we have hosted six very suc- cessful "Seniors Lun- cheons" this year. The food school prepares a gourmet luncheon for the students and their senior guests, the horticulture department arranges the floral displays], the drama and music departments put on presentations and the upholstery class makes the much sought after foot stool, which is the tradi- tional door prize. The elders thoroughly en- joy their time socializing with the Bendale students while the students gain valuable experience in- teracting with and caring for their new friends. Yet another exciting pro- ject is in the works - literally! The Technical Dept., in partnership with the Scarborough Public Health Dept. and Carewatch Community Partnerships, is coor- dinating a "Home -Repair Project" to begin next year. After a training period, the Bendale students will assess and conduct simple home repairs in retirement homes for senior citizens who are unable to do the repairs themselves. The students will gain practical experience in a technical area they wish to pursue, improve their skills and earn a credit, all while con- tributing a valuable ser- vice to an important seg- ment of the Scarborough community. You've gotta have art! We are pleased to announce that photography students Shawn Bishop, Paula Lazorek, Jose Munoz - Torres and Clint Rogers will represent Bendale in the "Kodak - Images Of Who We Are" photographic exhibition. This exhibition will be seen in Vancouver, Ottawa and Toronto at the Queen's Quay Gallery from May 27 to June 25. Many of Bendale's senior photography students also had their work on display at the Cameralinks 1995 Photographic Exhibition at Gallery 44 in Toronto Apr. 27 to May 6. Bendale students continue to be involved in a variety of artistic exhibitions in and around Scarborough such as Artworks and Rakadu at the Cedar Ridge Gallery. Respect, please! With financial assistance from the government of Canada. the staff and students are gearing up to be immersed in a six weeks social pro- gram called RESPECT (Racism. Evaluation, Self, Prejudice, Equality, Co- operation, Tolerance) which is designed to develop the students' awareness and understan- ding of some of their social responsibilities. A few of the highlights of RESPECT month are "Short Circuit". a play dealing with equity and changing traditional roles, and health workshops for students given by the Scar- borough Health Dept. about sexual assaults, diseases and smoking. However, the most in- spirational RESPECT ex- perience promises to be Hurricane Carter's presen- tation to the students. Hur- ricane, despite his personal trauma of being wrongly imprisoned for 20 years for a crime he did not commit, will focus his discussion on the issues of respect for self, society and justice. Tropicana, a community organization, has teamed up with Bendale STI to help achieve its objective of maidntaining a safe school environment. Tropicana facilitated "Working It Ohit", a three week program which is designed to teach youth the importance of resolving conflict without abusive verbal or physical action. Twenty grade nine students were involved in this intensive program. Nosizwe Mahashe and Don- na Alexandra describe this program: 11 'Working It Out' dealt with learning to control your anger before it escalates. We learned that talking it out, not fighting it out, is the way to solve pro- blems. We also learned how dangerous gossip is, because stories become twisted and before you know it, somebodv is really angry. It is important the students become involved in working out their pro- blems so our school will have even fewer conflicts. When we get really angry. we don't fightg anymore. we usually choose to calm down, walk away and talk about it later when we are calm. If all the students in Scarborough were to learn these skills. Scarborough still wouldn't be perfect. but at least 97% - 90% of the people would be able to control their anger•." Nosizwe and Donna have become valuable role models for their peers as the Bendale staff and students continue to develop their conflict rsolu- tion strategies_ As Noreen Crifo, Bendale's library resource teacher, prepares to retire• she can say that she has seen the traditional library develop into the school in- formation centre. At any time of the day. you will find Bendale students chat- ting on the modem with students from other schools, sharing informa- tion, downloading pro- grams and perfecting their keyboarding and access skills. Meanwhile other students arguing CD-ROMS to seek information they want and need. "Books are dandy, but computers are real handy" is Noreen's motto.

It's pro- bably unimportant. What matters is that it's a lovely movie: the kind that's now too rarely made. If you, too, are among the uninitiated, be aware that its about a manf and a woman who have a four day love affair after %bich they go their separate and honourable ways. It's more than Brief Encounter. less than intermezzo but com- pletely its own. Meryl Strep as the Italian war bride becomes a farm wife in Iowa, is heart achingly poignant. Clint Eastwood, who also directs. is what every man who is truly a man wishes he could be: worldly. honest and... decent. We'll say no more. If you haven't read the book. you'll love The Bridges of Madison County. If you have read it, you might want to compare celluloid to print. What ever the result. you won't be disap- pointed. The film enters general release this Friday 1L�N1' SCREENS A written short story is obedientg. or should be, to the discipline of form.O.Henry and Somerset Maugham were masters of it. A short film, however. follows only the whim of the director and or pro- ducer and or photographer. It can be tight or loose: structured or free form. Starting tonight. Toronto- nians can enjoy four days of international short films and two days of workshops as the first ever Toronto Worldwide Film Festival Rets underway. 100 short films from 21 countries will be shown at the Uptown's two Backstage theatres, the Bloor Cinema and the National Film Board at 150 John St. We attended an advance sampling of some of the films and can report that predictably, some are pret- ty far out but most are in- teresting and enjoyable. Among the animated features to attract our at- tention is "Do Nothing Till You Hear From Me". a Swedish film in which a violin is courted by a sax- ophone and a trumpet to the melody of the Duke Ell- ington title tune. It's mind- ful of the old Leon Schles- inger Looney Tunes of the thirties. Then. there's Belegari from Jugoslavia in which a dung beetle is the star of an ancient Greek story about a beetle who must push a rock to the top of the mountain. It's a free borrowing from the tragedy of Sisyphus, of course. but watching it. one wonders if it's allegorical or something cribbed from the National Geographic. Consult the daily journals for daily films and theatres. A festival wouldn't be complete without parties and there are plenty of them. On our mantel are in- vitations to the opening gala at 300) B.C. That's followed by lou Years of Cinema at the Bloor Street Diner. The closing gala will be held at Taboo and the after final party will be a barbecue at the Canadian Film Centre in North York. Four days of film and par- tying with a few seminars thrown in for good measure. Lif is good.

The show is well recom- mended by us. Also recom- mended are the Cathedral Cellar red and white wines served at the opening reception. We don't know if they're listed as vet with the L. C. B.

Hanna Avenue is in one of Toronto's underbellies. The closest intersection of con- sequence is King and Duf- ferin: the street itself is flanked by abandoned mer- cantile buikfings adjacent to now unused and overgrown railway sidings. Yet, something most sur- prising happens when one enters number 38. Go up a few stairs and you find yourself in the Academy of Spherical Arts, a billiards establishment that, as the old song has it, simply reeks of class.

It Pays To Advertise Walking links all ages to the real Britain For many the studying of travel brochures and deeding on desti- nations and itinerary is half the fun of the annul vacation and can add spice to long snow hM-nd winter evenings. Few plan- ning sessions are more enjoyable than framing the "walking holi- day", whatever vow age group, and perhaps no country offers more scope for forward thinking than Britain with its immense variety of terrain and landscapes and its almost limitless supply of folklore and history. There is a vast network of public footpaths, bridleways and ancient trackways which run through farmlands, over hills flaks and mountains and often pass close to a country puh or village inn where the walker can rest and be refreshed as scores of gener- ation, ?i a-. r ons before. TravelWise With d Fabienne Barbas 's and Dafydd Llewellyr. Temperate climate With its temperate climate many parts of the country offer year-round walking opportunities, and the chance to see Britain change with the seasons, the bright skies and blossom -laden branches of spring, summer's still flower-scented air• fall's rich tones and purple heather, or the crispness of a winter morning . Many walking trails will take ycu through AON`Bs (Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty) and National Parks. places which receive special attention because of their natural beauty. The choice of routes is limitless, and with the aid of numerous maps and charts available at no cost from the British Travel Authority you can ponder over the wonders of Dartmoor with its desolate beauty and mysterious stone circles and the remains of settle- ments dating back as far as 2500 BC, and the adjoining warmth of of the rolling Devon countryside with its inns, thatched cot- tages and, on the its own "Riviera", palm trecs.if you arc a water lover, and few walks in Britain are far from the sea, you can take the 90 km Weavers Way through the heart of the Norfolk Broads, where open expanses of water are linked by rivers and your route uses footpaths and disuesed railway lines past tranquil fields and braods dotted with sailing boats. For the long distance walker there is the 304 km Coast to Coast walk from Robin Hood's Bay in Northumberland to St Bees in Cumbria where the scenery alternates dramatically between mountain, moorland, hill and dale. Scotland's network of thousands of kilometres of paths and tracks offer breathtaking views of deep glens, shimmering lochs and Britain's highest mountains. The tradition of free access to all open mountain and moorland in Scotland allows for great freedom, but walkers and climbers need to be properly equipped as the mountains, in spite of their relatively low heights arc sub- ject to rapid weather changes There's lots to plan for, and you can get free maps and plans galore from the British Travel Authority (416) 961-2715. r Parte 12 THE NF%"% PIriT W'ed.Mn) 31, 1995 Eli Lilly Canada Inc.

Moreover, this venture is a uniquely Canadian in- itiative, to fit the Canadian health care context." A pharmaceutical benefit adjudicator, Rx Plus is an information technology- based firm that manages the processing for "ad- judication" ) of drug benefit claims. The com- bination of Lilly Canada's and Rx Plus' resources and capabilities will lead to more comprehensive ser- vice for the customers of both companies. Lowering overall health care costs, while at the same time improving the quality of care, is possible through patient and pro- vider education, more ap- propriate utilization of drugs, and the application of information technology. With Lilly Canada's sup- port, Rx Plus, which cur- rently manages health benefits for some 500,000 Canadians, is poised for ag- gressive growthand rapid expansion of its customer base. "Lilly and Rx Plus com- bined will be able to offer our customers more value than either company could on its own," said Robert A. Morel], president of Rx Plus. "With the injection of Lilly Canada's clinical knowledge, its disease state management capabilities, and its finan- cial and human resources, together we look forward to creating Canada's most ad- vanced health solutions company. " "We remain committed to innovative Canadian phar- maceutical discovery and development, as evidenced by our signing in January of a $15 million research agreement with Allelix Biopharmaceuticals, and by our April ground break- ing on a new $25 million research centre. The ac- quisition of Rx Plus demonstrates that we also plan to lead the market in the development of Cana- dian health information technology," said Nelson Sims. Tight Race Running In Chess Title.
