called ^Looking- Back" which features
Toronto’s "most listened to oldies".
All the money that was raised from
the evenings activities wilf go’to Toronto’s Hospital for Sick Children. This
is only part of CKFM’s ’Capital Campagne’ commitment which will raise
$200,000 for five years towards the Sick
Children’s building. The new building
will house over 500 beds when completed and keep up with the times in
child care in the eighties and beyond.
CKFM also has an ongoing Sick Children’s fund which has raised $2,000,000

Durham College staff participation
rate in the United Way campaign is extremely low, according to Ron Duffy,
Executive Director of the Oshawa
branch of the United Way.
Last year, only 25% of the 337 staff
members at Durham gave to the United
Way. The total contributions during the
1985 campagin yielded $6,244.
GM employees dontateti $1,180,000
to the United Way of Oshawa-WhitbyNewcastle with a participation rate of
85%, Duffy told the Chronicle in an interview.
The goal at Durham this year is to
increase donations to $8,000 towards
both bursaries and the United Way. As
an incentive for the staff to participate,
the President’s award will be presented
to the Level II person, one of the deans
or directors, obtaining the highest participation rate.
The award will be calculated by taking the amount of charitable donations
divided by the dollar value of the fulltime payroll for their area of responsibility, according to Don Sinclair, Director of Hjuman Resources.
The president’s award will be presented at the annual staff wine and
»»,
cheese party before Christmas.
In the Human Resources department,
Don Sinclair is holding a staff meeting
at which time he will show a movie
about the United Way and encourage
his staff to give.
"We’re trying for a 100% participation rate," said Sinclair.
When /asked why he thought only
25% of Durham staff members, participated last year, Don Michie, Dean of
Applied Arts and Health Sciences, replied, "Many people give to other
charities at other times. Some people
don’t support the United Way as a charity and some people are just not aware
of the groups the United Way repre-
sents."

Jackhammers of construction
become a minor annoyance
By Linda Cousins Chronicle Staff
The Early Learning Centre in the
Simcoe building of Durham College, is
filled with/the sounds of children laughing and playing heartily.
Jane Lowe, the supervisor, greets the
children with a warm smile and a
friendly hello.
Jane and her staff have been working
for months with the sound of Jackhammers and drills sounding in their ears.
The centre has been under extensive
construction to add an infant care
centre to the already existing toddler
room and pre-school room.
Already I sensed Jane to be patient,
and not the type that lets things get to
her.
The Early Learning Centre opened
last September. Jane originally started
as a teacher in the toddler room. After
MaryLynn West-Moynes left the position to teach, Jane accepted the position
of Supervisor. Her duties include a wide
variety of responsibilities, from staffing
to behavior modification implementa-j
tion, to overseeing the contruction and
development of the just completed infant care centre.
Jane graduated from grade 13 and
then went on to study Early Childhood
Education at Ryerson Polytechnical Institute. After graduating with a BA in
ECE, she then obtained a Bachelor of
Education from the now defunct Ontario Teacher’s Education College.
Throughout the years, Jane has continued her education and has also received a Specialist Certificate in Special
Education which can involve her in developmental areas of child development
such as maturity, attention deficits, and
emotional problems.
Her first job was working in a day
care centre in an apartment building
in Toronto, "that job taught me all of
the poor things that can happen in daycare. The conditions were terrible,"
Jane said.
Jane then took a job teaching Grade
one at Unionville Public School. "Even
though I said money wasn’t an issue,
we were bulding a house at the time,
and it was triple my daycare salary."
Jane is a slight woman of 32, with
collar-length blond hair and an approachable manner. Her eyes reflect a
deep sensitivity when discussing child
abuse. Although she gets angry when
confronted by an instance of abuse, her
eyes soften as she considers why these
things happen.
"The worst case I ever saw was when
I did my first placement at the Bloorview Daycare Centre in Toronto. There
was a little boy that I helped care for
who had a deformed arm and who was
partially blind. This little boy had been
born perfectly normal. He was disabled
because of abuse," she said, eyes clouding at the recollection.
The discussion of abuse draws Jane
to discuss simply and with a great deal
of practicality and understanding. "Any
signs of abuse, and I report it. Firstly,
we ask the parent about it. If the explanation seems logical, okay, if not, if the
facts are sketchy, then I would report
it. It’s a touchy situation. It’s purely
judgmental on the part of the observer.
It helps if you can understand the factors that lead up to a family getting out
of control. It’s a sickness that requires
treatment. Being a parent myself, helps
me to understand. There are days when
my kids test me to the limit. You can
get to that point. It’s just that not
everyone can get past that boiling point.
They may have been abused them-

and peers in with a smile and politely
asks Jane for some masking tape. Jane

and Patrick, are enrolled in the Early
Learning Centre, and she makes a point
of letting everyone know her door is always open to any child, parent, or staff
member.
Jane’s job has not been without it’s
sacrifices. Recently she and her husband Ed, put their 150 year old,
stonehouse up for sale because neither
one of them has the time to care for the
animals and keep the 14 acre farm
operating.
Cheryl Namoour, a teacher in the
pre-school group says, "Jane is a dedicated woman who enjoys the respect
and affection other co-workers and the
children she supervises and, cares for.
She’s always there for us."

Eat your heart out Berton,
Fotheringham, Newman; I have discovered something Canadian writers
have been persuing for years: the
"Canadian Identity."
Canadians have two of everything.
Our two types of money for instance: you know, Canadian Tire money
and the real money. Then there’s our
two official languages, French and English,merci.
Two funny guys Wayne and Shuster.have had us in stitches for years.
We have miles and kilometres,
farenheit and celsius. I used to get 30
miles per gallon. Now I get 80 litres per
kilometre, I think. Is that good? Who
cares?
This summer we had more rain
than we’ve had since 1928. This metric
weather is the pits!
Our former Premier of Ontario provided us with two publicly funded
school systems. I wonder why he’s the
"former" Premier?
Every family has at least two
radios, two televisions and two telephones. Canadians work so hard that
there’s just no energy left to walk from
-one room to another to pick up a phone.
Imagine having to get out of bed to an-
/
A lot of people have two eating
areas. A table in the kitchen for regular
meals and one in the dining room (in
my case the living room) for when the
in-laws or the Queen of England drops
in.
Most of us have at\least two pairs
of shoes, or in Mrs. Marcos case 4000
pairs.
Everyone has two can openers. The
electric one’that cost $49.99, that after
two weeks use just grinds the can top
into a pretzel, and the old metal one
that cost 89 cents that works just fine.
We all have two calculators. My
wife has one that calculates how to save
money. I have one hidden away that
tells us how to spend money.
Blenders were a big thing when I
got married. We received two for wedding gifts. Someday an advanced society will land in Canada and wonder
about Niagara Falls, the CN Tower and
why two million Canadian families
have two million unused blenders
stashed in the attic.
Recently a study showed that

D ri n ki n g age of 2 1
n ot fa i r to tee n agers
By JIM HUTCHINSON
Chronicle Staff
The people of New York feel that if
you’re not; 21 your too immature to
drink; some people in Ontario feel that
way too.
They say that you shouldn’t be able
to go into a bar and have a drink; you’re
not old unless your 21. However, in
West Germany you only have to be 14,to
go in and have a beer.
It seems ridiculous that at 16 you
can drive a car,the most deadly machine
^ that man ever invented; you can vote,
\ a decision that will effect your life for
the next four years; you can fight and
die for your country at the age of 18;
but you can’t walk in and have a beer.
It’s illogical.
The argUement that the drinking age
should be raised is a pretty lame one.
/ Your not mature enough to go in and
have a drink. I’ve seen 19-year-olds
that hpid their booze better than 35year-olds. Teens will go out and get
drunk and end up killing themselves
behind the wheel of a car; therefore raising the drinking age would cut down
on the teen death rate. In an interview
with channel 17, a PBS station, from
Buffalo, a Niagara Police Officer said
’
that Ive never had a problem with the
19-30 year olds. The over 30 crowd figure they have been drinking long
enough and can handle the booze, but
they can’t.
Bar owners are not to thrilled with
the proposal of raising the drinking age
either, because it cuts into their business. It also affects ,the jobs of those
directly involved in the business from
those that work in bars to those that
work in breweries.
If anything the drinking age should
be lowered. People might leam to
grow with and respect it so keep things
on an even keel make the age 18.
To protect your right if you’re 19,or
to gain a right if you’re 18. Write to
your M.P.P. tell him or her to lower the
drinking age, so you can go out for a
beer.

My heart races as this foreboding

Standing off to the right of the terminal is a solemn looking line of 16
Journalism students all clutching their
precious boot disks. They are all bald
and wearing the same drab grey knee
length shirts, as though they are in
prison.
As I slowly walk toward the empty
chair in front of the terminal, my whole
class raises their rifles and puts the
trigger in the ready position. Then in
unison, they say "Get to the back of the

Startled, I join the line. After quite
a time has passed, I realize the line is
not getting shorter, so I tap the shoulder
in front of me, and ask why. A bald and
quivering Bill Swan, turns and says in
a weary voice: "The system’s down. We
don’t know when they’ll get it fixed. My
daughter Erin is in College now; it
broke down when she was in grade
school." He begins to weep softly.
At that point, I am nervously jolted
from my daydream. A salesgirl asks if
she can help me. I respond with a giggle,
and say,"I don’t think so. I’m a student,
I’m too far gone!
Contribution to United Way dismal
By Cathy Carter Chronicle Staff
Durham College staff members are
once again making a dismal attempt at
raising funds for the United Way. ,
Last year’s campaign produced a
measly $6,244 towards the United Way
and the college scholarship andjbursary
fund.
A well organized fund raiser, planned and executed by the Food and Beverage management students and staff,
was held Wednesday night. In one evening, over $6,000 was raised for the Hos-
pital for Sick Children through CKFM’s
children’s fund.
At the General Motors plants in
Oshawa alone, the employees donated
$1,180,000 last year. The participation
rate at GM is over 85%. At Durham,
only 25% of staff members dug into
their pockets to help local charities.
Although there are many more employees at GM and many of them have
higher salaries than college employees,
an adjusted donation level should be approximately $40,000. The goal this year
for donations at Durham is $8,000. This
sheds an unseemly light on college staff.
It would be unreasonable to expect
a 100% participation rate at any place.
Many families in today’s society have
enough trouble keeping their heads
above water without giving to charities.
However, it is likely simply a matter of
laziness that creates the lack of participation.
The recent / Thanksgiving food
drive in Toronto and surrounding areas
is an outstanding example of the ability
of Canadians to share their wealth with
others. Causes like the United Way deserve our full attention. The many
foundations they support and the people
who rely on their services are counting
on each and every one of us.

Amateu r
athletes goals and dreams
left in hands of government hype
By Margaret MacGregor
Chronicle staff
For
One moment an Olympic
athlete can be the best in the world. No_
one at that moment can be better.
Athletes compete for that moment when they have pitted themselves
against their peers and won.
Athletes dream of that moment
when they can stand on a platform and
hear the world say, "Well done."
For most there is only one
-chance.
For some there, is no chance.
Governments in’the last few decades have decided to teach other governments about "freedom" by taking
away their athletes freedom to compete
in government boycotted Olympics.
Canada, if not guilty of doing
this in letter does it in spirit.
A copy of Sport Canada, Hosting
Policy obtained from the Ministry of
Fitness and Amateur Sport clearly outlines the requirements for government
funding of athletes and teams for competitive games.
Application for financial aid are
in two phases.
Phase one requests (pg. 20) that:
"The number of athletes,
coaches, and officials expected to attend
by each national delegation, including
Canada." be submitted to the ministry.
Phase two requests (pg. 21) that:
"Confirmation that the federal
government’s position concerning the
Republic of South Africa and other international commitments and obligations will be honoured."
No where does it say that the
athletes can, not compete.
.
Olympic committee is
bullied by superpowers
for political points
The ministry asserts that its
involvement
is through funding.
only
The ministry cited the example of the
special Olympics for the disabled held
in Montreal in 1976.
»
When the ministry learned that
South African athletes would be at the
special Olympics in Montreal the committee was informed that unless South
Africa’s team was withdrawn the funding would be. South .Africa wasn’t withdrawn and the funding was withheld.
The ministry however, did direct those
funds to another area that sponsored
disabled athletes.
These are the formal rules and
everyone applying for funds is aware of
them.
Fair enough, as far as it goes.
Carried further the spirit is akin
,
The government however
should clean house before it reprimands
the athletes who would still like to com-
pete.
\\
There are those who believe that
these Olympic games are a chance for
hostile countries to come together and
break down, or at least crack, the ice of
the^old war.
The government should not demand of amateur athletes what it does
not demand of it’s professional athletes.
The 1980 Olympics were boycotted because the Soviet Union was in
Afghanistan. The same year the Soviet
Union was invited to Canada to compete for the World Cup in hockey. The
Soviets returned to Russia with a cut
of the purse, about $10,000 per player.
The Soviets were also still in Afghanistan.
The cost in money, time,
facilities, personel, travelling, is
beyond the range of our athletes.
Withdrawal of funding means
withdrawal from the games.
Paul de Souza a Durham College
teacher and a committee member for
the 1984 summer games in Los Angeles
added a further insight.
"Without government funding a
great many countries would not be able
to compete. When the athletes accept
funds they must abide by the
guidelines.
Yet thi& acceptance leads to
another larger, more complex problem.
Says de Souza, "There is an acceleration of the Olympics being used as
a political forum. People watch the
Olympics. They want to see the best in
the world. For two weeks the eye of the
world is on those athletes. Every nut
ball with a cause thinks it’s good place
to^grab attention."
Unfortunately the use of the
games as a political forum doesn’t involve just governments slapping one
another’s wrists and saying in effect
"naughty boy, you’re mean and I’m not
playing with you."
The sad fact is that people are
starting to die.
In Mexico in 1968 students protested the games and some died.
Munich in 1972 "will perhaps be
remembered most of all for the deaths
of eleven Israeli athletes, held captive
in the Olympic Village by members of
an Arab terrorist group, Black September", said Bill Henry, in his book
History of the Olympic Games
"In deciding to continue the Olympics,
officials sought to reaffirm the all-important separation of sports and politics."
They have been unsuccessful.

"Romania has stood up to them.
"So will Malta. Malta’s government only gets involved with funding,
nothing else."
Government would do well to follow the spirit of these smaller countries.
If they don’t do so voluntarily
then we must do it for them.
It is not right that our athletes

win the medal and instead of hearing,
"^yell done" hear "How can they be the
best, half the world wasn’t there?"
Bruce Kidd, former Olympic
champion and co-author of the government publication "Athletes Rights in
Canada" has long been an advocate of
dropping the designation of belonging
to a country and instead wants to let
the athletes compete as individuals.
Other have suggested that government funding be by-passed and
sports associations raise money by citizen and^ corporate sponsorship.
Will our government, and other
governments, come out then and pass
legislation banning the athletes from
competing? That is the only legal way
they can stop them.
More important would we let
them pass such legislation?

Bal loo n p i lot’ s caree r off th e g ro un d
By Cathy Carter Chronicle staff
Excitement and new challenges are what Mike
Cross’ life is made of. He has the career most only
dream of. Mike is a hot air balloon pilot. He stars
in television commercials, travels the world and competes in international competitions.
Cross is the owner of Cross Canada Balloons in
Stouffville.
He flies all over North America for GM/Chevrolet
and recently filmed a Chevy Nova commercial in
Uxbridge.
The television spot can be seen on most Canadian
stations during prime time. In the commercial, Cross
is not visible but a very important part of the show.
He flies the Chevy balloon with a brand new, and
very empty. Nova attached.
The Nova was specially outfitted for the stunt. It
was hollowed out to weigh 1,000 pounds (approximately half of its normal weight) and fitted with
burners and other balloon ap^apatus.
It wasn’t too long ago Cross was flying another
hot air device,the famous Blue balloon, for Labatt’s
TV commercials.
The filming took him to such far away places as
I NB to rock Polish Hall
at Halloween eve pub
Australia and California.
During his seven-year career in the business, Cross
has also travelled to Alberta, South Dakota, New
Mexico, Michigan, Quebec and the Maritimes.
The tall and obviously athletic pilot enjoys the
travel and the flying time his career allows.
With his multi-colored company balloon, he offers
champagne flights to clients who are into something
a little out of the ordinary.
A 60- to 90- minute flight with complimentary
bubbly and certificate commemorating the event
costs $300 for two people.
"Champagne is traditional with ballooning," says
Cross. "It was used long ago to put landowners at
ease when a balloon would touch down on their property." Because balloons fly with the wind, navigators
must descend wherever there is open land, he explains, and most pilots continue the tradition and
offer champagne to surprised property tenants.
A combination of the commercial work Cross does
for GM and the business he makes for himself keeps
him busy all year round.
"We’ve had two days off all summer," says the
excited 33-year-old pilot.
He spends his rare free moments with his wife of
two years Heather (Hedy) or at the ball diamond.
It’s not an uncommon sight to see Cross rushing to
a baseball game with a balloon basket in the back
of his pick-up truck.
The, blond and tanned balloonist has been a
member of the Uxbridge Gorgon’s Slo-Pitch team for
, five years. Although he doesn’t have all the time
he’d like to have to play ball, Cross makes th6 best
of the chances he gets to play.
His future plans include acquiring a larger balloon
tha^ can carry more people and continuing with the
GM/Chevrolet commercial contracts.
"Td like to go to the world hot air championships
in Saga, Japan in 1989, and I’d like to fly in Europe
someday I will," promises the entrepreneur.

Noble, a depressive who has been off
medication for two years, feels seeing a
therapist is not enough. "You have to
talk about your condition with others
who share your pain because no one will
carry you on a pillow," said Noble.
The Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) is waiting for community
interest hoping a self-help group will
develop for depressives in Oshawa.
A seminar held Thursday Oct. 9 at
199 Centre St. The Adelaide House attracted 50 people, more than expected.
The guest speaker Donna Noble is the
former president of The York Region
Self-Help for Depression and Manic Depression. She concentrates her efforts
on aiding in group therapy and running
a counselling service for depressives.
The symptoms of depression, a physical disorder causing a brain chemical
unbalance, are elevated senses, a decrease in need for sleep, sensitive hearing, a feeling of oneness with nature,
various phobias and a disturbed consci-
Lithium, a drug commonly used, by
depressives helps but it has side affects
which vary from patient to patient.
"The filler colloration is often the cause
of the bad reactions to lithium, like excessive weight gain," said Noble.
Though the CMHA has developed eight groups in two years
Canada is behind the U.S.A which has
groups eight to ten years old.
The group will be funded by a
government grant. People interested in
the group can attend a meeting on Nov.

for those who are not too experienced
and a little less than brave, trail rides
are a great way to enjoy the outdoors
and the brilliant colors of fall.

By Rod dark Chronicle staff
In the darkened classroom, only the
sentences on the screen above can be
seen. The teacher reads each one in
crisp, clear, rythmic tones. The class repeats the phrases in unison, copying the
rise and fall of the teacher’s voice.
Then, lights on; each student reads
aloud. A word is fumbled, a phrase is
jumbled, teacher corrects, teases,
everyone laughs. They continue. The
"English as a second language" class is
in full swing.
<<! call if my mini-United Nations,"
said Irene Allonsius, their teacher in a
recent interview. "They come from all
over the world, places at war or in political turmoil: many are refugees."
Some were sponsored by the Canadian government and were brought to
Canada.-Some have close relatives in
refugee camps in Malaysia and Hong
Kong.
The classes are held at the Durham
College downtown Oshawa campus.
The students receive a training allowance from the Canada Employment and
Immigration Centre.
Once they acquire a working knowledge of English they will try to get a
job. Then they can sponsor their relatives to immigrate to Canada.
The Vietnam War ended in 1975. But
for Hoa Tran, 20, the struggle continues. In 1984 her parents decided to
allow her and her younger brother to
escape from Vietnam.
"I still remember clearly the day I
left home," said Tran, in a recent interview. "My eyes were full of tears, I
couldn’t say anything, not even goodbye
to my parents."
Tran and her brother Minh, 18, spent
five days and nights on a small crowded
boat in the ocean, before reaching the
refugee camp iri Malaysia, where they
would spend another 27 months awaiting sponsorship from a foreign country.
Agnes Katona, 30, and her husband
Joset came to Canada trom Hungary. A
stewardess with Malev Airlines of Hungary, Katona has travelled throughout
Europe and Asia.
"When I learn to speak English well
enough I would like to continue my
work as a stewardess," said Katona. "I
have never travelled in Canada or the
United States and I think I would enjoy
it very much."
Jerry Wegrzyn, 34, is from Poland
where he worked as an electronic technician. His wife Maria and two children, Michael 9, arid daughter, Marta
6, remain in Poland.
"I speak Polish and understand the
language of our Big Red Brother" said
Wegrzyn, referring to the Soviet Union
and the Soviet-dominated government
in Poland.
Wegrzyn was involved in the Solidarity movement in Poland, and managed
to escape to Greece in 1985.
"Because I have escaped from Poland
my family has been refused exit visas
from the government five times," said

course. Gathered are the students of various nationalities. At centre is instructor
Ellen Ashton a teaching assistant at the college.
Wegrzyn.
1’his international class of 17 students reads, writes, and speaks English
five hours a day, five days a week for
24 weeks.
The aim of the course is to give the
students enough fluency to enter’the
job market and to help them become
acclimatized to the Canadian way of
life. They are also taught citizenship,
history, and geography.
They are tested throughout the year
by Mrs. Allonsius and teaching assistant Ellen Ashton and are given a certificate on the successful completion of
their studies.
Allonsius has been teaching English
for 23 years. Bom in Belgium, she came
to Canada when she was 10. She has
taught in Vancouver and Toronto. More
than 1,000 students in Durham Region
have graduated from her-classes.

The Durham Lords basketball team lost its first
exhibition game Oct. 9 to the George Brown Huskies
82-74.
The Lords were out-muscled by the Huskies in
the first half 41-29. They made a valiant attempt to
regroup in the second half, playing a stronger offence,
but couldn’t catch the tier 1 squad.

usually higher than tier 2 teams. Some of tier 1 teams
include Algonquin, Centennial, Humber, Niagara,
Sheridan, and George Brown. Tier 2 teams include
Durham, Georgian, Loyalist, Sir Sanford Fleming.
Players for the Huskies who sparked the offence
were JohnHaslam 19 points, Darko Ficko 12 points,
and Joe Louis 11 points sparked the Huskies to the
win. Frank Raimondi and Harry Sillen bolajbered the
Lords’ offence.
