TALKING DRUM -
(EDITOR'S NOTEBOOK)
Every election, municipal,
provincial or federal since
DRUM started in 1989 we
have given every candidate in
the ward or riding the opportunity
to say in DRUM who
they are and what they stand
for. To this point we have
never endorsed a candidate.
This time? WeD this
time I don't even know who
the other candidates are (and
so far only one 'candidate has
bothered to put up a sign on
my street or put a leaflet
through my door).
This time, I am voting
Marchese. Because when the
election is over, we're fac_ing
four more years of Harris and
company, no matter which way
I vote!
And if that's the case, I
want my representative to be
someone who knows my name
and my neighbours names,
who has pounded every street
in the riding, and who has a
dedicated community staff,
working their tails off, right
around the corner. It's going
to be four more years of
problems for the old City.
Do you want an MPP
who's going to spend two of
those years trying to figure
out where evervthint! is?

schools like ours could keep our IL and

schools would have to send out
surveys to all parents to confirm
whether the parent body wanted the
programs-a kindpfreferendum. And
the suggested wording of the surveys
was really confusing. Even more
sneaky it said that from September
2000 enrollment for IL would have to
be 25 students per class-really tough
for optional courses where you don't
even get a credit.'
Lots of parents and concerned
community members showed up at
the meeting to voice support for the
program (about 300 rallied outside
first). The board allowed only ten
people to speak .. Just about everyone
who spoke talked about being scared
of losing these programs. No-one
really praised the report as a good
start. Probably our big mistake.
Then the trustees kicked around the
question of what to do-send it to the
full board May 26, defer it, refer it to
committees, or what. They spent two
and a half hours talking about when to
talk about the report.
The result?-the report goes back to a
whole bunch of small committees
instead Of going forward to the big
board meeting on the 26th of May. But
those rommittees only get till sometime
in June to do their work.
One trustee Shelley Laskin who has
fought for these programs for years was
furious.
"You're just

fix it" she
Whatever he does, it will not, at this
argued. Everyone else praised her
"passion" and assured her that wasn't
their intention. But then why did they
give the committees such a short time
to fix it? More likely they'll have just
enough time to rip it to shreds.
No doubt the Board is in a tough
spot. The province pays the shot for
education now. And investing in the
future of inner city youth is not high on
the Harris government list of priorities.
The board has a tough budget to
balance, and some really redneck
provincial priorities to contend with.
But it sure would have been nice if
they had at least had the guts to state
publicly what they believe in!
People concerned about these
programs, phone your school principal.

Bellevue Square Seat wall
gets strong ·support
At a meeting May 10 at the Hainan Association
building on Augusta Ave, Graham Moore, a City
of Toronto landscape architect, presented an
idea for-a "seat wall" around the playground in
Bellevue Square park. And the people at the
meeting basically liked what they saw.
The "seat wall" idea grew out of a plan
originally supported by the community last
December 10. That first plan was to put a fence
around the play area-basically to keep out dogs.
But support for the fence weakened after that
meeting-mostly because of fears that a fence
would fragment what is already quite a small
park.
The seat wall would be "a first" for Toronto,
said Mr Moore. And can be constructed for
basically the same price as the fence. Like the
fence would have, it marks clearly the edges of

with all that seating it will really add something

committee since last summer.
Made out of wood, the wall would be about
45cm (18 inches) high, with four actual entrance
openings. The wood should last 25;30 years
before needing replacement.
The community asked for some small revisions
(mainly to break up the straight lines a bit). The
revised drawings will be available for people to
see Monday April 17 at 6pm at 340 College
