The pain at this stage is severe, although it appears to vary greatly with age, being slight in children and very severe in older people for whom shingles can be a very serious illness. After about ten days the vesicles dry up and form scabs which fall off. The skin is generally completely healed in two or three weeks but a distressing symptom of the disease is that the pain, in older people especially, often remains for weeks or months afterward. Treatment consists of doctor's supervision, topical oint- ments to relieve itching, aspirin for pain, and patience.

Jan. 4, 1989 Opinion a page for expression for you and us New Way For Criminals To The Editor There are too many frightening headlines appearing these days in the papers. We will never get the problem of properly handling rapists, murderers, robbers etc. straightened out until we make a wholesale change of how the sentences for the various crimes committed are appor- tioned. Unfortunately, governments usually put the cart before the horse and then wonder why the horse cannot pull the load. The first thing that must be done is a committee should be formed ( without any do-gooders on it) to assess what should be a minimum sentence for each type of crime and then all the judges must start from this minimum, with the right to increase this figure according to the severity of the attack, physical damage done to the victim(s), and; or the property damage done and; or stolen. As an example, rape should be a minimum of five years, if threats are made with any kind of weapon. two years or more should be added. If the victim is physically harmed, more should be added. A mandatory sentence of five or more lashes should be included, depending on the length of the sentence being served. Since most rapists are cowards it will be a means of giving them some of the treament that they like to hand out to their victims. First degree murder should have a minimum of twenty five years and in a case where multiple murders have been committed, life no pardon. We should eliminate all excuses such as liquor, drugs or how the culprit was brought up and there should be no escape on pleas of insanity. The victim or victims are dead and cannot be brought back to life. "The Young Offender's Act" should be scrapped in its en- tirety. If the ones that fall into that age group are capable of committing crimes, they are old enough to face the regular punishment for the crime that they commit. Their name should not be withheld in any case. The various Parole Boards should be scrapped, since if a fair sentence is given for each crime committed, they should serve it in full, with no passes given for any reason. If we can get the capital punishment law reinstated, we won't need to keep the lifers around at excessive expense. Under no circumstances should a "half way house" ever be used as a jail for convicts serving some of their time. They should be used for those who have served their full time but do not have a place to go to when they are let out. It would serve as a home until they can get a job and then relocate. In every case. where property or money has been stolen, it should be a part of every sentence whenever possible that arrangements should be made for reimbursement to the victim. Bruce A.

In 1986. some 0%01 cargo was shipped to and from foreign markets with the re- mainnng 37% shipped domestically. Our five leading ports are Vancouver. Sept-Iles, Montreal and Port Cartier in Quebec. and Thunder Bay, Ont. They handled about half of all international tonnage and a quarter of domestic tonnage shipped in 1986. British Columbia ports handled about a third of all Cana- dian tonnage shipped in 1986. Ontario (32%) and Quebec (27%) ports followed closely behind. Iron ore, coal and wheat were the major commodities loaded on ships for foreign destinations in 1986. Together they accounted for half of the 145 million tonnes shipped from Canada for export. Wheat and the timber products logs and bolts were the two main commodities over all in shipping for both export and domestic destinations, making up 36% of total tonnage loaded in 1996. Fuel oil and iron ore combined made up about 2D%. About half the water borne tonnage arriving in Canada in 1986 came from the United States. More than two-thirds was unloaded in Ontario and originated from the U.S. Great lakes region.

A report was presented to the Attorney General on Dec. 15th on behalf of the board proposing im- mediate impiemnentabon of a wide range of recommen- dations. ••With bodily injury casts continuing to rise, there is great public concern at the high cast of automobile in- surance,,• says Alex Ken- nedy, a member of the board's insurance commit- tee. Among the board's recommendations are an amendment to the Courts of Justice Act to permit mandatory structured judgments, with payments spread out over a longer time frame, rather than the current "lump sum" pay- ment method. -Prejudgment interest is another cause for concern," rays Kftwedy. The law states that an in- awance company must pay the interest on an award for personal injury or death calculated from the day the insurer was notified of the claim, even if the insurer was not given sufficient medical data to evaluate the claim. "We support prejudg- ment interest running from the date of the accident, providing the plaintiff's medical records are made available to the defendant as soon as possible,.. be ad- ded. The board also arpressed serious concern about legislative reform in the area of collateral benefits. The board argues that the concept of doublecompem- satiis offensive and co n injured party should be en- titled to receive payment of amounts he has received from other sources. The board strongly recommends greater use of mediation and arbitration as alternatives to the cant system - The insurance buying public is becoming increas- ingly vocal about the cost of automobile insurance. The board therefore urges immediate adoption of their proposals to the On- tario civil justice system in order to curb costs.

Star Of The Mexican Riviera Club Med needs three things to build a top notch village, according to Jean - Luc Odan Chapon, Presi- dent and Chid Operating Officer, Club Med, Inc. "A beach. The Sea. And, the Sun." All three of which are found in abundance at Aub Med's new resort complex in south west Mexico, at the Bays of Huatulco. There, the temperature averages 82 degrees year round. And, there is no rain from October through June. the sea, as clear as tequila, is warm and riser friendly. Opened on May 21L 19M, Club Med Huatulco is located on Tangolunda Bay, the fust and largest of the nine bays. which will eventually be developed in this area. Also being readied at Tangolunda Bay, for this winter are the fust nine holes of an eigh- teen hole golf course, and a marina which will accom- modate 100 boats. Located on Mexico's Huatulco is about 350 miles south of Acapulco and 70 miles west of Puerto Escondido. Thanks to its early in- terest in building a village in Huatulco, the club was able to select the kwiest piece of property on Tangolunda Bay. It boasts four cove beaches within the bay area and covers 50 acres. Double occupancy accommodations are in four separate clusters of "casitas", woven through the hills - each with its own plaza and tower painted a vivid hue. Some evolutions of the Club Med concept can be clearly seers in its Huatulco village. The rooms are larger, and a degree of privacy can be achieved in For all your trawl naafis "We'll show you what Travel Service realty means" 2848300 MORNINGSIDE MALL The mall entrance beside Woolco, Upper Level OPEN a30 am. • e:30 p.m. Mon. • Fri. 10 am. • 5 p.m. Saturdays the double occupancy ae- commodations by pulling the closets together to form a wall, thus separating the two sleeping areas. Bathrooms are larger and wrapped in marble. And, each room has a huge. private, tiled terrace com- plete with hammock. This winter, single rooms are available ( excluding holi- day periods) for a 20% sur- charge on the land rates. DINING POSSIBILITIES In keeping with Club Med's desire to constantly improve. the village offers a selection of rive different restaurants. Choices range from freshly caught seafood at "El Puente" restaurant to Moroccan delicacies at "Marrakesh", an authentic looking Moroccan restaurant, complete with couscous and mint tea. An Argentine restaurant serves cbuarasco at the far end of the village, in a romantic, open air room overlooking the sea. Then, there is the sleek, glossy, Italian restaurant, "Il Blanco". The main restaurant, "El Mercado", offers breakfast and lunch buffets with dishes from around the world. Tucked away is a separate Mexican buffet at lunch, featuring some of the tastiest local dishes. The state of Oaxaca is famous for some of the most complicated and delicious cuisine in all of Mexico, highlighted by 12 different moles - not all of which are made from chocolate. EXCURSIONS And, as vacationers want to get out and explore the countryside more, the club provides a variety of excur- sions. A day trip to the col- onial town of Oaxaca in- cludes visits to the ancient hilltop holy city of Monte Alban, the largest ceremonial centre of the Zapotec civilization, the Church of Santo Domingo and its golden altar, and a small museum holding the treasures found at Monte Alban. Lunch at the Zocalo and then shopping in the markets and shops sur- rounding the square com- pletes the trip. Oaxaca is ringed by In- dian villages, each specializing in a different draft. In additim there are trips by air to Palenque, quite possibly the most beautiful Mayan ruins situated in a rain forest, and a trip to Puerto Escorr dido, known as a surfer's paradise and home of a large bird refuge. THE SPORTING LIFE Sports at Club Med run the gamut. There is swim- ming in three pools (true Olympic size); sailing; windsurfing; kayaking; and snorkeling at a deserted neighbouring bay. On land there are 12 tennis courts; three squash courts; a fitness centre; aerobics and water exer- cise classes; volleyball; and water volkyball. A golf practice area has been add- ed ( driving net and pit- ching area) . A large sailboat will depart daily for excursions to the near- by deserted bays and beaches. Nightly entertainment offers a different show each evening, followed by the opening of the disco, a state of the art creation with lasers, rock videos - even a smoke machine. Ac- cording to Fonatur, a branch of the Mexican government which developed this area. The Bays of Huatulco will be an evert bigger success than Cancun. Two years ago, there were 2,000 in- habitants in the Huatulco area. By the year 2020, it is anticipated that there will be 400,000 tourists annually and more than 90 hotels. RATES The cost for the all in- clusive, 7 day/7 night package ( land only) varies throughout the year depen- ding upon the week selected.

You still have time to appeal your 1988 assessment if you feel your home or business property has been improperly assessed. Your assessment is important because the amount of property tax you will pay in 1989 depends on it. The assessed value of your property is multiplied by the municipal and school mill rates to determine your prop- erty taxes. Notices of Property Valuation were mailed to property owners and tenants whose assessments have changed since last year. Open house information sessions were held in your area to give you the opportunity to ask ques- tions and correct any errors. The Assessment Roll was delivered to your municipality on December 20,1988 and will be used to calculate the taxes you will pay in 1989. You can review the Roll at your municipal office during regular business hours. If you believe your property has been improperly assessed and you have not yet registered an appeal, you still have until January 10, 1989 to mail or deliver your appeal to the Assessment Review Board. And remember, even if you did not receive a Notice of Property Valuation, you s6H hem the right to appeal. Appeal deadline — January 10, 1989 The Assessment Review Board is an independent tribu- nal under the jurisdiction of the Ontario Ministry of the Attorney General. It is intended to provide you with an additional opportunity to have your assessment reviewed if, in your opinion, it is not fair and equitable with the assessment of similar properties in your area. The Review Board is more informal and relaxed than a regular court of law. You may present your own case, retain a lawyer, or ask a relative or friend to speak as your agent. To help you in filing your appeal, Notice of Appeal forms are available from the Assessment Review Board, your Regional Assessment Office, or your municipal office. You can also use the reverse side of a Notice of Property Valuation, or write a letter giving the property address and roll number along with your reasons for appealing. Appeals should be forwarded to the Regional Registrar of the Assessment Review Board at the address shown below. If you appealed your previous assessment, it will be nec- essary to kxige an appeal against your assessment with the Assessment Review Board each year, if the appeal against your previous assessment has not yet been sett- led, or your 1988 Notice of Property Valuation does not reflect the most recent decision of the Board. In those parts of Ontario designated for French Lan- guage Services, you can appear before a bilingual (Eng- lish/French) Appeal Board. Please check the space provided on your appeal form if you wish to use this service. Registrar ESSMENT REVIEW BOARD MINISTRY OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL 80 BI" St. W.. Ste 701 Toronto.

Bill Watt's Worlds SOUNDS ABOUND Now that the Yuletide and New Year celebrations are behind, it's time to get serious with that CD player you received as a gift. The choice of music must be one's own of course but we have a suggestion that knight be found helpful. It's a CD sampler from Nimbus and titled simply ,Nimbus Records -Preview, Single, Number 3. Must confess we'd have prefer- red a more dramatic title but understatement seems to be the Nimbus way. There is nothing understated about the Nim- bus sound however; it's arguably the best of all the CDs. This sampler includes the third movement march from Elgar's Pomp and Circumstance, Sousa's Stars and Stripes Forever, the overture to Verdi's La Forza del Destino, Mendelssohn's Octet in E Flat, 1st Movement (ex- cerpt) as well as a snippet from the Italian Sym- phony, A Medieval Christmas and the Toy Symphony of Leopold Mozart. Our intention here is to recommend the sound reproduction but we cannot resist commenting on some of the readings. The Pomp and Cir- curtstance is not as stirr- ing as one has heard it by other orchestras. The English Symphony (we suspect it is a studs or- chestra rather than a per- forming one) delivers a restrained reading that seems to eschew the "wow" that the work deserves. To be fair, maybe sone CD players might mush out the sound if it were too boisterous and perhaps the orchestra was performing under an inter- dict. Still, the performance is just a tad disappointing. On listening to the Toy Symphony, an acquain- tance suggested that if Wolfgang Mozart was sub- jected ubjetted to this music as a child then it's little wonder that his adult life was so The best cut - to our ears anyway - is the Maxlelssohn Octet, light but not without depth. Even though one might not thoroughly enjoy all the cuts, the sampler is an ideal demonstration of your new CD's capabilities. A most interesting listen- ing experience is Nikon In China (Elektra / Nonesuch). This is the first and so far only recording of the opera which was fust performed by the Houston Grand Opera in October, 1987 and has since become rather a darling of the intellectual set. This reviewer has not yet seen it and so our com- ments must be tempered with the suggestion that, like most operas, it is pro- bably better seen and heard rather than just heard on recordings. Elektra/Nonesuch has released it in sets of three CDs, three L.P.s or two handsomely boxed casset- tes. We found some confu- sion reading the synopsis of the libretto since it refers to all three methods of reproduction and we're not at all sure that all three are the same. In any event, this is not a complete recording but rather the highlights and arias of the work. The com- ,poser is John Adams, the librettist is Alice Goodman and the orchestra is that of St. Luke's under the direc- tion of Edo De Waart. Nixon in China is not in- tended as a satirical work but one rather imagines it is so perceived. Satirical or not, we can't get excited about it and indeed find it rather insipid. To be fair and to repeat, most operas don't fare well away from the theatre and maybe N in C is the same. We insist though that there are no notable melodic passages and the dialogue seems stilted. Here, too, we must admit one of our own prejudices in stating that opera is simply not well served by English - The singers are not known to us but possess fine voices. The roles of Nixon, Chou En -Lai, and Mao respectively babaritoaes James Maddalena, Sand- ford Sylvan and tenor John Duykers. The role of Henry Kissinger is sung by Thomas Hammons a baritone buffo. Make of that what you will. We were rather much taken by Soprano Carolann Page as Pat Nixon. Hae is a sweet voice and evocative of Mrs. Nixon as we have always regarded her. We cannot in conscience suggest that readers rush out and purchase Nixon In China as a pleasurable listening experience but we do urge purchase or ac- quisitiori. Only time will tell if the work has lasting value. We're rather much of the feeling that its impact will be greater in another four or five decades than now. What ever, this first recor- ding is, we firmly believe, of good historical, and someday financial. value. Govern yourselves as cordingly.

According to a Ministry spokesperson, the safest drivers this winter will be "thinking drivers", the ones with their "minds in gear„ for winter highway and goad conditions. He lists six essentials for safe winter driving: "Think safety - Avoid abrupt acceleration, braking, or lane changes that can cause skids on slippery roads; Anticipate - Look ahead as far as possible. Try to an- ticipate stop signs, traffic signals or traffic ahead; Slow Down - Reduce your speed in less than ideal condi- tions on slushy, snow covered or icy winter roads; Keep your Distance - Increase the distance between you and the car ahead by three of four times to leave a buffer zone for safe braking; Use your Lights - Turn your headlights on in bad weather conditions as well as on dark winter days to make your vehicle visible to other drivers; Don't Rush - Allow an extra 15 minutes to drive to work, to go stopping, or to arrive at social gatherings. Check the weather forecast before you leave. "With some forethought, common sense and a bit of courtesy all drivers can increase their margin of safety. Doing so will make it safer for all road users this winter," the official said. Meanwhile, Ontario Transportation Munster Ed Fulton has announced that begirning this year, $100,wo a year will be available for grants to support research on highway safety - "With traffic accidents increasing in Ontario we fed it is important to encourage research on highway safety in oder to understand, and hopefully reduce, the incidence of avoidable collisions. "While there are a number of factors involved in am acm dent, we pr opoee to focus initially on topics that relate to the human factors," Mr. Fulton said The specific areas identified for possible fading in the fust year of the program include the behavioural, social and personality characteristics of drivers unvived in ac- cidents; the evaluation of educational methods to improve highway safety, the development of new methods of analys- ing traffic accident data and the attitude to seat telt use by high rink road uses. By providing some financial backing, we hope to en- carage researchers already in the field of highway safety as well as offer new opportunities to those who might wish to add their skills and knowledge to this field," Mr. Fulton said. Grants will be open to faculty members of all Ontario col- leges and utniversiities, Ryerson Pdytechnical Institute and the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education. Applications for grants have to be made to the Safety Coordination and Development Office of the Ministry of Transportation before the end of January.
