Henry founded the compafly, says a new store, 37,000 sq. f. in size and located at Thornton Rd. and Highway 2, By ROXANNE REVELER 1 the Durham Board Of î Education has thrown its support( behind a lobby group seeking to1 delay draft legislation on a copyright law bill that could see the price of many teaching materials go sky high. The Association of Large School Boards (ALSBO), of which the Durham board is a member, is lobbying to stop Bill C-60 from going to a third, and final, reading in the House of commons. If the bill passes, ALSBO says schools board throughout Ontario could end up paying as .much as $10 million a year for the right to photocopy written material, perform plays, and screen movies, televison productions and videos. The proposed law could make it illegal for a teacher to videotape a newscast to teach a current events class, or to photocopy a poemn or science article without paying a royalty. Calling the proposed legisiation "pernicious and dangerous" and a restriction on thought and the flow of information, Ajax trustee Duncan Read said he was concerned that many MP's may not appreciate the potential impact of the bill. In Ontario schools, history courses must contain current events in the curriculum. The English prograrn is introducing a unit on media literacy and educators fear the bill could interfere with the instruction of subjects.

But educators criticize the proposed bill for protecting the rights of creators arnd publishers at the expense of public users such as sehools and libraries. The Bill's opponents say it encourages copyright owners to With father Bill and brother Randy in the business, Terry says the says the "last couple of years have been good" in business with the growth in the area. "We're supplying a fair amount of the builders, and then the reatil business afier," he says. He notes that the newest store Nvili also be in an area of high residential growth. formi licensing bodies whiùch could fi x royalties without any negotiations with user parties such as school boards- A brief from the Canadian School Trustees Association said the proposed copyright rules would- also delay thie dissemnination of informnation to students and "waste the relevance of the teachable moment." Lt feels brief and spontaneous reproduction of copyrighted materials is crucial to the educational process. Individual school boards have been approached by ALSBO to support its brief and to back it up with letters to their local MP.
