Kim Furukawa, Educa-

Mrs. Furukawa is a

cludes both the public and
private sectors.
According to Mrs.
Furukawa there is a great

what is available and how
to obtain it through the
Alzheimer Society of

advice on retrofitting can be obtained from the Ontario

The Kortright Centre offers a variety of energy conserva-

Energy Theme Co-ordinator at the Kortright Centre.
"While fuel costs are unpredictable, the house is a constant.
Improvements to the shell will always result in lower

A retrofit will save you money, create a more comfor-

objective is reducing heat loss - preventing the escape of
warm air out of the home. You can detect air leakage by
looking for tell-tale drafts and cold spots.
"When retrofitting, do the little things first," says Cole.
"Do the inexpensive improvements, and see how the

Frequently, such simple measures as weatherstripping
doors and caulking windows will produce immediate reduc-

made later, if they are economical. Keep comprehensive
records of the improvements and the subsequent difference

you decide to sell.

Q. Who built the Egyptian pyramids? R. K.
A. These grand structures which housed the remaim of
Egyptian kings were built by Egyptian peasants. Some of
the peasants were farmers who probably worked during
late July through October when their fields were flooded by
the Nile River. Their task may have been hauling the stone
blocks to the building site. Other mea probably labored
throughout the year constructing the tomb.
The actual number of men employed in the construction
project is unknown. Greek historian Herodotus claimed
that 400,000 men worked for twenty years to build the
largest pyramid, Cleops. More recent estimates place the
figure at 100,000 seasonal workers (farmers) and 4,000
year-round construction workers.
Q. There is a quote which talks about the neeJ for
democracy because men are unjust. What is the exact
quote and who said it? T. B.
A. The quote is "Man's capacity for justice makes
democracy possible, but man's inclination to injustice
makes democracy necessary. "
The statement was made by U. S. theologian Reinhold
Niebuhr (1892-1971) . He was one of the more prominent
voices in twentieth century America. In addition to
teaching at New York's Union Theological Seminary, he
was a preacher, a social critic, a religious thinker, and
shaper of political liberalism. A socialist, Niebuhr was an
avid supporter of the labor movement.
Among his writings were Discerning the Signs of the
Times, Christianity and Power Politics, Nature and
Destiny of Man, and Moral Man and Immoral Society,
Q. Would you please spell the "super" word from Mary
Poppins movie? V. N.
A. It is spelled supercalifragilistieexpialidocious.

Just Naive
by Bob Watson
Well Prime Minister Brian Mulroney has taken off for
Rome and parts south in Africa. But, of course, he is not
visiting South Africa but is going to the communist -inspired
and dictatorships to the north of South Africa. We were hop-
ing that his visit to the Pope would see the head of the
Roman Catholic Church giving Brian a few informative
words on how the Soviet Union works in the world with its
KGB force infiltrating organizations like the African Na-
tional Congress.
We have interviewed three black Canadians to see if they
are in favour of the Mulroney approach in South Africa and
all three agreed that it might take 100 years to get "our
style" of democracy in that country. And sanctions are not
approved by a majority of Canadians and no matter how
naive Mr. Mulroney is, some one at Ottawa ought to find out
that sanctions are hurting everybody in South Africa,
especially black workers.
A story in the Toronto Star shows our External Affairs
Minister Joe Clark talking to the Canadian representative
of the African National Congress, which is dedicated to tak-
ing over South Africa by force. Apparently. Mr. Clark is on
their side - in other words - interfering in the internal affairs
of another country and favouring communism' Is this real-
ly a Progressive Conservative government in Ottawa?
It is obvious to us that both Brian Mulroney and Joe Clark
are ill -Wormed on world affairs and should not be occupy-
ing the positions they hold.
With the Canadian economy moving very well into IW7
with a rising dollar value relative to the U.S. dollar and
lower interest rates. the PC government at Ottawa has
made great strides on this most important battle of our
economy. So why does the PM get involved in foreign af-
fairs where he is not knowledgeable? It Ls time for the PC
federal party to act. The voters elected a large number of
MPs who are Tones. We did not elect the Prime Minister
and he has lost the backing of the Canadian public. Perhaps
it is time for the party to get a new chief before it is too late
and John Turner becomes the next PM.

Energ-v Management Savings
Fiscal foresight, careful planning. timely action - and a
relatively small investment - are saving an estimated
$26 -million a year for Ontano's elementary and secondary
schools. Ontario Energy Minister Vuwent G. Kerno says.
"fn 1976, after the first energy price shocks, my ministry
got together with the Ministry of Education to deal with
rapidly rising energy costs. Together they worked out an
energy management program for Ontario's schools. which
has produced total savings to date of more than
52Wmillion." Sir. Kerrio said.
Sets World Precedent
The passung of Bill 133 by the Ontario legislature would
set a world precedent for Ontario. Bill 133, which calls for
an ingredient labelling law for wines. beers and spirits, has
already been passed unanimously in the second reading of
the legislature. Similar legislation is being considered in
other jurisdictions around the world. but has not yet been
made law.
Alcohol & Dug Concerns. Inc. is calling for Premier
David Peterson and his government to bring Bill 133 for-
ward for its third and final reading. Nirneteen other sym-
pathetic organizations in Ontano are expected to follow- this
lead. When passed Bill 133 will require all manufacturers of
alcoholic beverages to list the ingredients used in producing
their products, thus meeting the needs of the many citizens
who suffer from specific allergies and or those concerned
about the ingestion of additives which could be car-
cinogenic or detrimental to health in any way.
Waterfront Development Project
The Minister of :Natural Resources, Vincent G. Kerrio.
has approved the continuation of a multi-year project of the
Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority
to undertake waterfront development along the Lake On-
tario shoreline in Metro Toronto and Durham ham Region. Ap-
proval of this project permits the Metro Toronto and
Durham Region to continue with the development and
management of waterfront areas within its jurisdiction,
and to acquire waterfront property in order to provide and
consolidate public access to Lake Ontario. Total estimated
cost of the five-year project is $15,500.000 and it will be eligi-
ble for 57.750.000 in provincial grant.

vides wage subsidies to employers to enable students to

tunities and practical work experience. The WOW program

job experience to assist them in dEveloping their plans for
future employment and education. WOW projects take the
form of summer workshops and on-the-job experience.

the student's wages, to a maximum of $3 hour. Public sec-
tor t municipalities, educational institutions and hospitals)
employers and non-profit employers receive 100% of the
provincial minimum wage for their student employees

the Challenge '87 program, and in so doing, is determined to
create new, sustained, and meaningful job opportunities for
Canadian students. The program is well named. The
government challenges private, public, and non-profit sec-
tors to join the drive to create lasting jobs for students
trained to fill them.
In Memoriam
Brian Duberry Watson was born a beautiful blue-eyed
blonde haired boy and his parents were so proud and happy,
His curly hair and laughter were always evident. Never
could his mother and father be happier.
At age five, the dreaded disease, measles, stru& and he
suffered greatly. Times were tough for the young family
but their enthusiasm for life was great.
By the age of eight it was obvious that something was
wrong and by eleven it was confirmed that it was a rare
disease "Friedrich's Ataxia". All kinds of ••cures.. were
sought. but alas, the medical men gave their opinion that
the little blonde boy Wouldn't make it past 18 years of age.
At 16, Brian concluded that handicapped as he was in a
wbeekhair, regular school at Agincourt Collegiate should
be abandoned. He finished grade 13 by correspondence with
excellent marks.
While a teenager he journeyed by air to England and
Florida with his family on two occasions.
But the long hours at horse had its toll on his family. It is
difficult for a 21 year old to remain cooped up forever. He
managed to enter Bellwoods- House in Toronto and for a
while Brian was happy. Eventually the constant supervi-
sion and his free spirit collided and he moved to Rochdale
College where the Jesus Commune took him as a project.
He spent years of freedom. except for his dependence on
others for physical help. with the commune. journeying
throughout the northern U.S.A. Then he came home once
again and sought specialists' advice. The conclusion: There
was nowhere to go but to a terminal hospital accommoda-
tion at Queen Elizabeth Hospital.
Brian didn't like hospital style living at first but then he
began to spread his words of hope about Jesus and God to
patients more disabled than he was. His smile and
perpetual enthusiasm spread joy in the hospital rooms.
Volunteers aided him to go to football games, stopping and
other expeditions around Metro Toronto.
Of course, life had its ups and downs. His spinal column
controls were slipping. first the legs. then eyes, mouth and
arms became difficult to move. Brian was rescued from
three heart stoppages. Doctors marvelled that he was still
functioning at age 32 when his birthday took place on Oct.
5th, iqw.
He became a Ronan Catholic. Father Tom Harding bap-
tized him and his spiritual growth continued. The physical
torment intensified but he never complained, just smiled.
The worst snowstorm of this winter hit Toronto and
Brian's health deteriorated. With his heart barely working
he finally succumbed on Thurs. Jan. 26th 1978 and went to
meet his Saviour in that pain-free spiritual world ahead of
all of us.
At the funeral Father Harding eulogized about this young
man and pointed out that he had lived almost the same
length of time that Jesus had some 20oo years before.
And so a life had gone but he showed that if he could enjoy
his pain -racked time on earth, why should we healthy peo-
ple ever complain?
We write this story to give encouragement to those who
wrestle with the trials of life. Be not discouraged or
downhearted. Brian wasn't. We knew him well, for he was
our son.

Sherman Goes To Appeal Bd.
Scarborough lawyer Ir-
vin H. Sherman, Q.C., was
one of seven new ap-
pointees to the Immigra-
tion Appeal Board by the
Hon. Gerry Weiner,
Minister of State for Im-
migration.
Pauline Browes, M.P.
Scarborough Centre, con-
gratulated Mr. Sherman on
his appointment, "Having
known Iry Sherman for
many yars, I am confident
that he will make an ex-
cellent contribution to the
country as a member of the
IAB..'
Mr. Sherman has been a
member of the Ontario Bar
since 1968, specializing in
family and real estate law.
He is active in community
organizations, especially
those related to the con-
cerns of the elderly and
youth. Mr. Sherman also
serves on the Metro Toron-
to Library Board.
The Immigration Appeal
Board functions as an ap-
peal mechanism for per-
sons who have been denied
entrance to Canada or who
have been ordered remov-
ed from Canada. The board
also adjudicates refugee
determination appeals.
Expansion of the IAB to
49 members is in keeping
with the government's
commitment to make the
immigration process more
efficient. The expansion
adds to the flexibility and
capacity of the board to
deal with a greater number
of cases.

Bill Watt's Worlds
ON STAGE:
Our first real expert
of opera was many years
ago at, of all places, Maple
leaf Gardens. No, it wasn't
the first tour of The Met; i
was even earlier than that.
It was at a Toronto Poli
Benefit Concert.
Remember them'' We most
certainly do.
Anyway, one of th
highlights of a particular
evening in question was
presentation of a short ex-
cerpt from The Barber
Seville. We cannot
remember now the nam
of all members of
quartet - one of them w
Jarmila Novotna - but w
do recall with gree
pleasure the last minute
substitute appearance
Raoul Jobin. How we thrill
ed to his voice and la
at his comic antics!
Imagine then our sur
prise and great pl
upon attending the Cana
than Opera Company'
presentation of Die Fleder
maus at The O'Keefe
realize that the role
Emenstein is being pia
by his son Andrus.
It is not for us to stat
whether or not his supert
tenor voice matches thi
heroic tenor of his father. I
is enough for us to
and proclaim that it is mos
enjoyable and second on]
to his fine comic presence
Many have played Eisen
tein as, at worse, dull. M
Jobin however, an
perhaps under the direr
tion of Lotfi Mansouri
plays him as the silly ass he
encs is and in so doing wins the
audience in this superbly
sumptious production.
Before proceeding fur -
1 ther let us state that we
found only one fault with
Police this Die Fledermaus and
that is that it was sung in
t English. We have said
before and will continue to
e say it again that English
does not lend itself to the
the singing of any music
beyond that of the hoi polloi
of and should not be used at
all in opera unless there
es are the excellent surtitles.
the English is our first
as language and we would
e have been hard pressed to
t understand some of the
songs had we not known the
of basic content of them.

stated that Mr. Mansoun
has still not been able to

to think of it his individual

frequently cavalier.

wrote the English transla-

the brightest works in the
theatre and this production
of it ranks above any others
we have ever seen.
As usual, our space is at
a premium and we simply
cannot single out all of the
artists who so richly
deserve it.
Let us say only that the
set design of Robert
O'Hearn is a triumph and
the costumes of Suzanne
Mess are almost
orgiastically beautiful.
,(You know, if the Military
would only wise up and
design some good looking
uniforms it most certainly
wouldn't have to worry
about the declining enlist-
ment rate.)
Grateful kudos too for
Constantin Patsalas and
the members of the Na-
tional Ballet for the diver-
tissement in act II. Tales
From the Vienna Woods is
always enjoyable but to see
it danced in the classical
fashion with superb solo
and pas de deux work by
Luc Amyot and Amalia
Sc ielhor n is to make one
realize again that there
really is beauty in the
world.
Die Fledermaus is a
beautiful and wondrous
wort. Do not - repeat, do
not miss this presentation
by the C.O.C.
Now, if you'll forgive us,
we must rush out and ar-
range our tickets for a
flight to Vienna with a
breakfast at Domeyer's
prater in the Vienna Woods
where we are sure that the
ghost of Strauss still
lingers lovingly.
DINNER THEATRE:
Well, we've finally made
it to Stage West and are
mightily glad. If we can
still remember how to box
a compass, it's to the NWW
of Metro cin Dixie Rd. and
reasonably accessible by
public transit should one
wish to eschew driving
even though there are good
parking facilities.
Stage West Theatre
Restaurant, to give it the
correct name, is a large
handsome building
especially designed and
built as a dinner theatre.
All tables and banquettes
are curved and tiered to en-
sure good sight lines
anywhere, the comfort antery
d
the decor is tastefully
modern.
The buffet - the huge buf-
fet - must be seen to be
believed and if some of the
selection aren't quite up to
gourmet standards,
remember that Stage West
feeds hundreds every night
and the problems of such
food preparation must be
considered.
We found the salads crisp
and tasty, the roast beef
honest, the cold boiled
lobster satisfying and the
chicken liev less than
memorable. They
however, are only a small
part of the culinary offer-
ings.
Desserts are lucullan and
the house white wine is . .
well, it's a house white
wine.
Taken all in all it's dif-
ficult to imagine a more
felicitous setting for an
evening of light theatre.

theatre; let us comment on
the current production; a
little gem titled Corpse!

twin and his enlistment of
an aging, and also down at
the heels, gentlemanly
drifter to do the deed. It is
intended to appear that the
actor has been murdered
and he will then take the
place of the wealthy
brother.
The plot seems simple
enough in its bare bones
outline but in presentation
it becomes headspinningly
complex and quite funny in
a black humour sort of
Heath Lamberts plays
the roles of both twins and
does a fine job. He plays
each one differently but
with enough similarity in
speech and mannerism as
to make one realize how
alike fraternal twins can be
while still having more or
less distinct personalities.
His training in the classics
serves him well too in the
overcoming of the occa-
sional acoustical dead spot.
Gale Gordon plays the
drifter and he does so with
all the assurance that one
has cane to expect of him
over the years. And yet,
and yet, he manages to in-
ject a rather hapless note
to his characterization;
that of an elderly plan
tricked into a situation not
of his making but trying to
bluff his way out.
It's a masterful perfor-
mance and filled with more
value than the casual
observer might impute to
it. We suppose we're trying
to say that he doesn't simp-
ly walk through the role
though he could if he
wanted. We salute you Mr.
Gordon.

commissioned by the
ensemble with the
assistance of the Canada

Groundhog An Unlikely Forecaster
If ever there was an
unlikely folk hero, it's the
groundhog. Yet every year
the media limelight turns
to him as he stints out of his
den on Feb. 2 and predicts
when spring will arrive.
Groundhog Day has
become a popular North
American tradition at
many places, including the
Kortright Centre for Con-
servation in Kleinburg.
The groundhog is an
and Joyce Campion pro-
vides a few lain as an
amorous landlady.
The direction of Charles
Murdoch is crisp and sure
while still allowing his ac-
tors room for sufficient
character delineation.
The proof is in the ex-
perience. however. and we
recomunend that the reader
experience an evening at
Stage West. Most en-
joyable; we look forward to
our next visit.
ON THE TUBE:
We've frequently men-
tioned the locally produced
television series "The Kids
of Degrassi Street". Well,
the kids are starting to
grow a little now and we
commend to your attention
the new series titled
"Degrassi Junior High"
We were at the recent
preview launch party and
are much impressed by the
new series, its high quality
and the mature themes to
be presented.
One of the episodes con-
cerns the question of
whether or not one of the
teachers is a lesbian. The
ending was, to us, curiously
unsatisfactory but the
depiction of changing
moods and perceptions of
the young was well
presented. Good series and
well recommended.
FAST EXIT:
When you're watching
the Variety Club of On-
tario's telethon this
weekend on Global, give a
thought to the tremendous
telephone hookup that is
necessary. Then thank
Sears and their volunteers
for providing it. Another
fine example of good cor-
-porate stewardship.
unlikely celebrity. He isn't
as industrious as his
cousin. the beaver. The
groundhog sleeps for half
the year and does nothing
except eat the rest of the
time. He's a lousy swim-
mer too.
So how did be become a
weather forecaster? The
answer begins in Germany
in the Middle Ages. Early
Christians believed that if
it rained on Candlemas. the
Feast Day of Saint Mary.
on Feb. 2 there would be an
early spring.
Germans believed that if
the badger emerged from
his den on Feb. 2 and didn't
see his shadow because it
was cloudy, spring wound
come early. U the day was
sunny and he saw his
shadow, spring would be
late. In the new world, Pen-
nsylvania Germans
transferred their custom to
the groundhog.
The Kortright Centre is
celebrationg Groundhog
Day with a winter carnival
on Sum. Feb. 1. It will
feature a children's ski
race, skating, winter
games, hayrides, free ski
lessons and much more.

Frozen Facts & Trends
Ontario is the number
one province when it comes
to supplying peas and corn
for Canada's processing in-
dustry. Over the past 6
years. Ontario grew and
processed approximately
70% of the processed corn
and 45% of the processed
green peas in this country.
Ontario frozen corn is a
world wide product. Over
lib million worth of Ontario
frozen corn was exported in
2985. The United Kingdom.
the major export market,
accounted for 65% of the
total. Japan, Hong Kong.
Western Europe and the
Middle East are also major
export markets.
The United States is an
important export market
for Ontario frozen peas. In
1985. W% of total frozen
pea exports ( valued at over
$2 million) were delivered
south of the border.
In the midst of the fresh
is best fever, it appears
that processed is best for
peas and corn In 1985.
almost 100% of the green
peas and 6D% of the sweet
corn grown in Ontario were
processed.
According to Ted
Chudleigh. of the Ontario
Food Processor's Associa-
tion. processed peas are ex-
tr+ernely popular with both
farmers and consumers.
First, since peas are
harvested during the hot
weather. deterioration can
occur rapidly. But with
processing plants located
near grown* areas. the en-
tire crop can be frozen
within three hours of
harvesting. Secondly.
shelling peas is an ex-
tremely labor intensive job
for today's busy consumer.
Frozen peas eliminate
time-consurning prepara-
tion while providing a
quality. fresh -tasting pro-
duct.
Modern-day harvesters
have come a long way. In
harvesting peas, the entire
plant is taken out of the
ground and the peas
separated from the pods.
The remaining plant
material is then returned to
the soil. This technique in-
creases the amount of pro-
duct that can be shipped
and minimizes field to
frozen time.
Once vegetables pass the
initial preparation step in
the freezing process. they
all follow the same path:
washing, manual inspec-
tion, steam blanching, cool-
ing and individual quick
freezing ( I.Q.F. ). It is
because of the individual
quick freezing technique at
temperatures of -40°C that
today's frozen vegetables
are conveniently free-
flowing in packages.
Consumption of frozen
vegetables increases after
Thanksgiving when locally
grown fresh produce is not
as abundant and imported
produce is more costly.
Frozen peas and corn are
an economical and time-
saving alternative to im-
ports. The cost of a serving
of frozen peas or corn
averages only 43 cents.
TRENDS . .
Todav research is under-
way, in the United States.
which may eventually
eliminate the blanching
step during the freezing
process. Blanching is the
essential quality -
preserving step of freezing.
Good news for consumers
because eliminating the
blanching stage may pro-
duce a frozen product
which has an even higher
nutrient content.

plains Ferri "What's
more. when eters com-
bine these physical ac-
tivities with reduced
caloric intake, they keep
their muscle and lose their
fat."
But Dr. Nowak contends
that if dieters want to keep
their weight off successful-
ly, they also need to deal
with the psychology behind
their weight problem.
"Eating habits are learned
and to change, you have to
unlearn them," she said,
"so behaviour modification
is a crucial part of any
weight loss program."
The 1987 Weight Wat-
chers Self -Discovery Plan
gets to the bottom of those
emotions and behaviours
that trigger eating, with a
series of self-help quizzes.
Whether the triggers are
activities, moods, pro-
blems or people, the Self -
Discovery Plan shows
dieters how to cope with the
trouble spots. Rounding out
the Weight Watchers menu
for the 1987 is the weekly
meeting, which provides
group support and the
motivation to stick with the
program.
The 1987 Weight Wat-
chers food plan combined
with exercise, self-
discovery and group sup-
ports adds up to a perma-
nent way to lose weight and
keep your metabolism in
balance.
Rapid weight loss
schemes can actually slow
your metabolism and in-
crease your weight pro-
blem.
In their impatience for
instant slimness, all too
many dieters are reduced
to missing meals and crash
weight loss schemes
bordering on starvation.
And many cling to the myth
that exercise will only in-
crease the appetite.
Two Toronto experts
challenge the myths that
often lead to a lifetime of
dieting and a roller coaster
ride on the scale. In their
1983 book "Breaking the
Diet Habit", University of
Toronto psychologist Janet
Polivy and her husband,
Peter Herman maintain a

take causes the body to
lower its metabolism. Once

frozen food industry focus
on the provision of upscale
products which will expand
the frozen food market. Ac-
cording to Chris Kyte, of
the Canadian Frozen Food
Council, there is currently
a trend toward value-added
products where special
sauces are added, foods
breaded or new vegetable
a dieter returns to regular
eating habits, the body re-
bounds by storing more fat.
Dr. Mary Nowak, a fami-
ly practitioner at Toronto's
Women's College Hospital
says that the majority of
obese patients she counsels
have experienced this yo-
yo syndrome and are look-
ing for a long-term solution
to get their weight off and
keep it off.
Experts such as Polivy
and Nowak remain firm
that there is more to per-
manent weight loss than
just dieting. They demand
an approach which con-
siders multiple factors in-
cluding good nutrition, ex-
ercise and the
psychological issues that
caused the weight problem
in the first place.

noted are the popularity of
"extremes" in vegetable

vegetables are in demand

the rage.

MPP Scarborough East

ple in Ontario.

At present, legislation for pay equity in the public sector
has received second reading and is now before committee
at Queen's Park- Legislation for the private sector and the
broader public sector has received first reading.
Improved access to adoption information will be the
result of amendments to adoption disclosure legislation.
Freedom of information legislation has received second
reading and is before con uruttee.
With the introduction of amendments to the nursing home
act, the government will continue to consult on nursing
borne regulations to improve the quality of care in Ontario
nursing homes. As well, wont will continue an pension
reforms and the protection of pension benefits.
In the meantime, Premier David Peterson has announc-
ed that Correctional Services Minister, the Honourable
Kenneth Keys, has resumed his position as Solicitor
General.
Premier Peterson also announced a realignment of
responsibilities for parliamentary assistants.
They are:
Eddie Sargent ( Grey -Bruce) to the Ministry of T1 ansporta-
bon and Commuulicatioas
Maurice Boy (Chatham -Kent) to the Ministry of lips—
ss
Joseph Cardiano ( Downsview) to the Ministry of Communi-
ty and Social Services

OTTAWA SOFT ON LUMBER DISPUTE SAYS PETER-
SON
During the holiday recess, the Canadian Government,
under pressure from some U.S. political leaders and the
American lumber industry, imposed a 15 percent surtax on
Canadian softwood lumber exports to the U.S.
Premier David Peterson told reporters that agreeing to a
deal of the softwood lumber dispute with the Americans
sets a dangerous precedent.
"We've turned not only our resource and taxation
policies, but in a sense our regional development and
employment policies over to another sovereign country. It's
a very dangerous precedent," said the Premier.
"I am worried about what has been dale and I'm equally
worried about what it could lead to in the future."
"Many people in Ontario - laid off waters - are bearing
the consequences of what I consider to be a decision that
was very ineptly handled from the beginning," Premier
Peterson said.
Premier Peterson also raised the possibility of a constitu-
tional challenge to Ottawa's imposition of the export tax.
He said the constitutional problem centres on the federal
government's decision to impose export taxtion of a provin-
cial resource, without a federal -provincial agreement.

Congregational
Sunday At
Centennial Rouge
United
by Jobe Webb
What is a congregational
meeting? It is many things,
we discovered last Sunday.
There is the regular wor-
ship service, but it is also
more. Like a pause for
breath in the church year,
we stand still and review
where we have been and
what we are becoming.
Specifically, our worship
service dealt with this
theme. Rod Brereton took
us back to last December,
when he recounted his ex-
periences at Toc Alpha, the
annual youth conference
held in Toronto.
In his message to us,
Rev. Sangi in suggested
that we address the "Angel
of Centennial Rouge".
While this metaphor still
had ks shaking our heads m
puzzlement, he explained
that each church has an
energy which is "more
than the sum of its parts"
When we are gathered as
a church, our abilities
become more than just our
individual contributions.
That energy becomes the
personality or "angel" of
that church.
It is this personality that
our congregational
meeting sought to review
ticket for a lottery that was
organized by the students.
The grand prize, a trip for
two to the Dominican
Republic, was financed by
the Student's Council.
Sir Wilfred Laurier is
participating together with
many other high schools
throughout the Toronto and
surrounding areas, in the
"Kids for Kids" Cam-
paign; a massive program
aimed at youth awareness
and involvement in the
hospital's $50 million drive
to build a new patient care
centre.

As the worship service
concluded, William Demp-
sey then chaired the annual
meeting which featured
reports from all church
committees.
This is when I discovered
that after 30 years in the
United Church, I still
wasn't sure of the dif-
ference between a Trustee
and a Steward!
Business concluded, we
spent the next two hours
enjoying the community
luncheon. This included
singsongs, dodging small
bodies and eating a great
deal of good food. As usual,
we didn't talk to half the
people we intended to, but
still visited with many
friends.
Our church organist,
Maryann Verner asked me
to invite any and all who
wish to sing in a church

Morand Leaving For The USA
by Gay Abbate
Scarborough's economic
development commis-
sioner, John Morand. is off
to New York City next
month to sell Canada to
American businessmen.
Morand, 44, was recently
selected by the federal
ministry of external affairs
to be its senior investment
counsellor in New York. Ot-
tawa has six other similar
positions spread across the
world.
Morand will be on loan to
Ottawa for a two year
period. His $79,000 salary
during that time will be
paid by the federal govern-
ment.
The job, says Morand,
will essentially consist of
doing the same kind of
thing he is doing now only
instead of selling Scar-
borough he will be.trying to
entice American
businessmen to invest and
move their businesses to
Canada.
Morand says he will
return to Scarborough
after the two year period.
Mayor Gus Harris says the
move will be beneficial to
Scarborough because of all
the new contacts Morand
will be making during his
stay in New York.

New Custom Regulations
To Save Paper Burden
Just one provision in the
new Canadian legislation
coming into effect for im-
porters and exporters
could cut their "paper
burden" by as many as
35,000 government refund
and remission application
forms a year.
That's one portion of a
streamlining process that
is being brought about
through revisions to the
Customs Act and the im-
plementation of the Duties
Relief Act, designed to
make life simpler for
business and government
and to cut administrative
costs.
Machinery required by
Canadian business that is
not available from Cana-
dian suppliers has drawn
much of the attention in the
new legislation. Once the
streamlined Machinery
Program is in full effect, as
much as 80 percent of
remission applications and
up to 50 percent of refund
applications will no longer
be required. These changes
will eliminate endless
hours of paperwork and the
typing up of taxpayers'
funds by the government.
What's more, when items
are not available from
Canadian suppliers, the
program provides for the
duty-free entry of
machinery that is
classified under a number
of specific tariff items. A
published government list
will enable Canadian
businesses to determine, in
advance, the dutiable
status of the machinery
they are seeking. If the
machinery noted on the list
is not available in Canada.
it may be imported without

ment list. In this way

In this our tread and fmA,
i eport on cruising in the
Caribbean aboard the S. S.
Britanis on a Wardair
package trip we must men-
tion the ship itself.
It was built in Quincy,
Massachusetts in 1932 for
the Oceanic Steamship
Company for cruising from
the west coast of the USA to
Hawaii and the South
Pacific. It was called the
"Monterey" and she
started cruising from
California to New Zealand
and Australia.
In 1939 the Monterey was
taken over by the US
government as a troop ship
and in 1943 the ship con-
tributed to the rescue of
1675 soldiers off the "Santa
Elena", which had been
torpedoed. The captain was
given the Distinguished
Service Award.
After the war the ship
went back to cruising in the
Pacific and in 1957 was
rebuilt at a cost of $30
million and renamed the
"Matsonia". In 1970 Chan-
dris of Greece bought the
ship and rebuilt it at
another $6 million and was
renamed "Britanis",
which means "British
Lady".
The Britanis is a twin
and her generators can
make 4500 kw of electricity,
enough for a small town.
She sails at 22 knots. is 638
feet long and do feet wide
and six times around the
boat deck is equal to one
mile.
The ship carries 6000 tons
of fuel oil and 3000 tons of
fresh water which means
she can go for 9000 miles
without refuelling.
After stopping at Car-
tagena. Colombia, the
cruise took us to the San
Blas Islands off the coast of
Panama. There are 365
islands belonging to these
Indians, one for each day of
the year! The passengers
were taken ashore by
tender and our morning
and afternoon activities
ashore included sandcastle
building (which I did - my
version of a Mayan village
complete with an empty
beer can mounted on a san-
dy mound!), paddle ball,
volleyball and tug -o -war.
In the afternoon the ac-
tion was a "Mr. Sexy Legs"
competition, limbo, exer-
cises and more volleyball,
and enjoyed a barbecue
ashore.
We didn't go ashore when
we reached Colon
(Cristobal) in the Republic
of Panama as we had a bus
trip along the canal to the
Pacific Ocean on am last
cruise.
The last evening before
we returned to Montego
Bay featured a midnight
buffet on deck with ice and
egetable sculptures along
tth the usual delicious
4 x It is amazing what the
-:::p's chefs can do with

every kind of vegetable.
Well, that's it. We hope

GAS TAX RIP-OFF?
Ontario motorists are paying about $500,000 a day too
much for gasoline because of Liberal tax policies. In Oc-
tober 1965, Treasurer Robert Nixon announced a flat tax of
8.3 cents on every litre of gas sold.
Under previous Progressive Conservative Governments,
the gas tax was a percentage of the cost per litre for
gasoline. When the price of gas fell, the amount of tax
levied fell as well.
The price of gas has fallen through 1996, but the Liberal
gas tax has remained the same. As a result, the amount of
revenue taken in from the tax is much more than the
previous 20 percent tax rate. At the current approximate
40.0 cent retail price the 8.3 cent tax is 2.0 cents per litre
higher than it should be. It is estimated that Ontarians
would have $3.3 million a week in their pockets if the
previous gas tax methodology were returned.
In addition, the Liberals have ignored the recommenda-
tion of an all -party committee on North/South gas pricing.
Recommendation 30 of the Final Report of The Advisory
Committee on Resource Dependent Communities in Nor-
tbern Ontario calls for a reduction in the price of gasoline
for Northerners by 5 cents a litre through changes in the gas
tax.
Premier Peterson has said: "Northern Ontarians should
not be expected to settle for levels of services less than that
of the rest of Ontario.
Although the report was released in March 1996. it has
been ignored by the Treasurer.
Everyone in Ontario especially in the north, is paying for
the Treasurer's election goodie shush fund by these high gas
tax levies.
