Notes
Original Toronto Star caption: I like Jamaica but I like Canada better and I'd rather be with my father, says Annette Senior. I hope I can get back in time for school. Annette spent her 15th birthday yesterday in a Jamaican children's home, surrounded by strangers and wondering if she'll ever see her father again. And top immigration officals in Ottawa are still trying to decide whether to bring Annette and her 12-year-old brother, Antony whom immigration officals deported to Jamaica last Saturday back to Canada. The children were taken to a police station and questioned. Then they took us to a hotel where they send people who have to leave the country, Antony said.

Shopping: Norman Browne spends about $15 a week for rent and $8 for food. I don't eat rich or fancy, but tend towards a simple, meaty, varied menu. I like creative cooking and my pride and joy is cooking up a pot of pork hock stew. I'd give out the recipe but you've got to be poor to appreciate it.

Manager Joe Carton in the building he knows better than anyone, Massey Hall. He's worked there 53 years, starting as a 14-year-old usher. Sometimes when I shave in the morning, I think I am starting to look like Massey Hall.

On the move: Student Joe Costa, 18, bones up on a course during his 45-minute bus trip to and from Bloor Collegiate every school day from the Dufferin-Wilson area. The quality of education of Bloor makes the travelling worthwhilek, he says. I'd rather not go to a technical school.
