unfinished works in the

by Rougecrest Developers.
The delegates described
their own personal pro-

The problems dealt with
grading, sodding,

The Issues
As Ashe
Sees Them
There are always many
local issues of importance,
particularly in fast grow-
ing communities like Ajax
and Pickering. To name a
few, sewers, water, roads,
sidewalks, grading, sod-
ding, fire protection, mail
service, landfill sites,
education and school
facilities.
PC candidate George
Ashe says, "There are two
others of great importance
that the current provincial
government has given lip
service but not committ-
ment. These are hospital
services and highways;
Specifically Ajax -
Pickering Hospital and
Highway 401. Both are
becoming, some would say
have become, terribly in-
adequate."
Mr. Ashe says the
previous P.C. government
authorized the start of the
long process leading to the
local hospital's expansion
approximately three years
ago. That process has been
complete for some time
and the project has '.Top
Priority" designation of
the Durham Region Health
Council.
"During the last
legislative session I. on
practically a daily basis,
badgered the Minister of
Health regarding the over-
due approval," Ashe points
out.
"I suspect that during
this election campaign that
we might get an official an-
nouncement; not a
speculative one by the
Liberal candiate. It is
regrettable that it takes a
provincial election cam-
paign rather than the con-
cern for the medical needs
of my constituents to give
this badly needed, long
overdue, approval," said
George Ashe.
He added: "The 401 need-
ed expansion has become a
sick joke. For those of you,
as I do, who use the 401
regularly know the expan-
sion was needed yesterday.
In a recent bit of cruelty
earlier this year, the
Minister of Transportation
announced with great fan-
fare that the through -
collector expansion from
Neilson Road in Scar-
borough to Brock Road in
Pickering would com-
mence in 1989. Seven to ten
years later we could cut the
ribbon at Brock Road.
WOW, just before the turn
of the century.
Mr. Ashe said that a
realistic schedule, both
fiscally and practical,
would be a five year time
frame to Westney Road in
Ajax.

Q. Who coined the phrase ..Aare"? P.T.
A. Aare was first used by the maritime insurance group,
Lloyd's of Landon, to denote the highest class of ship.
Nowadays, Lloyd's of London will insure just about
anything but they began as a group of businessmen who
issued marine policies to shop owners and operated from a
London coffeehouse owned by Edward Lloyd.
Not strictly an insurance company, Lloyd's is a corporate
group of syndicates composed of individual underwriters
each of whom must personally deposit large sums against
default on the insurance risks he accepts. High sums of
money may easily be made or lost on each insurance ven-
ture an underwriter tries.
Q. What is the rate of the earth's precession? B. J.
A. The earth preceses once every 26,000 years. Precession
means the change in the tilt of the axis of the earth (or other
rotating body such as a top) . In 13,000 years, the northern
hemisphere will be tilted in the opposite direction and we
will have summer in December, January and Febm ary and
winter in June, July and August; 13,000 years later the
seasons will again be back to "normal".

African Humour?
by Bob Watson
There is a news report that Mississauga South MP Don
Blenkarn, a Progressive Conservative, has written a letter
suggesting that Canada invade Mozambique and seize con-
trol of southern Africa to force an end to apartheid! Well, in
the middle of a summer provincial election this would be
really humourous if it weren't so ridiculous.
External Affairs Minister Joe Clark said he didn't agree
with Blenkarn but championed his right to express his opi-
nion. That's funny, but Joe Clark didn't allow the South
African Tourist Board to advertise in Canadian newspapers
and sent them back home. Perhaps there is a freedom of
speech for some .. but not for others!
Why we think it is humourous to despatch our Canadian
troops to Africa is that we don't have enough to invade Nor-
way - in fact, our armed forces are among the lowest
numbers in the world.
However, what is tragic about MP Blenkarn's suggestion
is that he is similar to Joe Clark and our Prime Minister
Brian Mulroney - none of them know anything about Africa
and we wish they would keep their noses out of Africa.
Let's look at the facts. Mozambique is a Marxist regime
backed by the Soviet union. which does not send food to that
country - only guns. It is silly Canadians who send food to
the Communists so they can keep strong and fight
democracy wherever it exists.
Then there is Angola where another Marxist government
backed by the Soviet Union with arms and advisors has a lot
of Cuban troops who back up attempted invasions into
South Africa. We have never heard Joe Clark or the PM
complaining to the United Nations about the Cuban troops
hanging around Angola doing the dirty work of the Soviet
Union.
In the Aug. 16th issue of the Toronto Star a painful story of
a black South African woman was related by correspondent
Frances Kelly which stows that Canadian sanctions - as
well as other countries - has killed her chances of having a
good life.
We would like to suggest to Joe Clark that the next Com-
monwealth meeting in Canada for which he is preparing
have on the agenda the inroads of the Soviet Union into the
African National Congress and all of the countries surroun-
ding South Africa. Let's talk about the real enemy of our
society - communism.
Religious Instruction
Dear Editors:
I write as the Chief Pastor of the Anglican Church in this
Province to suggest what we feel is a logical next step now
that increased funding for Separate Schools has been ap-
proved by the Supreme Court of Canada.
The quality of Public Education and the place of religion
in the Public Schools remain very important issues : and we
want to do everythuiig we can to deal with them. Therefore,
together with our ecumenical partners, we are advocating
an interfaith curriculum in religion, taught by properly
trained teachers, at every level of the primary and secon-
dary schools. And further. we are advocating a pilot project
sponsored by the Provincial Government to test the
feasibility of our proposal.
Conversations with leaders of all political parties in
Queen's Park lead us to the belief that our proposal might
be adopted. and we are seeking your support in publicizing
and promoting public debate about them. In our view, the
program we advocate would help all students toward an in-
creased understanding and respect for all faiths, and would
prevent further fragmentation of the Public Education
system.
The enclosed pamphlet outlines our proposal fully. Please
read it carefully and if you can publicize it by publishing the
text and or by editorial comment, we would be grateful.
Our proposal has wide ecumenical support, but needs more
publicity and public debate.
Further information is available from Canon Gilbert of
Ottawa Diocese whose address is on the back of the pam-
phlet.
Yours faithfully,
John Bothwell
Archbishop of Niagara

Metro Toronto At Forefront
Metro Toronto continues to maintain its role as the
strongest commercial real estate market in Canada. This is
the case, with respect to prices being achieved. investor in-
terest and the number and size of sales and leasing transac-
tions, reports Royal LePage Commercial Real Estate Ser-
vices.
The impact of strong demand for business accommoda-
tion is particularly evident in the office leasing market. A
statistical summary of the first half of 1987 provided by
Royal LePage's office leasing computerized marketing
system underlines that the market indeed has begun to
tighten.
Wants Cap On Credit Card Charges
Reg Stackhouse, M.P. - Scarborough Vit - will launch a
parliamentary counter-attack against banks and trust com-
panies that raise credit card charges. It was his motion that
lead to pressure by the government and the finance com-
mittee to reduce rates last spring.
The Royal Bank of Canada has announced that rising in-
terest rates will lead it to increase its charges on unpaid
credit card balances. It is thought that other institutions
may follow.
"This is commercial obscenity•" Stackhouse says. "after
years of maintaining excessive charges, in spite of falling
interest rates, they scarcely wait a few months to raise
their charges once rates start rising. Don't they have any
sense of fairness`
He will introduce a Private Members' Bill to impose a
floating rate limit on credit card charges. If the Bank of
Canada rate rises, the card issuers will be allowed to in-
crease their charges by no more than a legislated percen-
tage. If rates fall they will have to cut their charges accor-
dingly.
"Last spring I had hoped the credit card industry would
have enough corporate responsibility to govern themselves
by natural justice. It is clear that government regulation is
needed and I hope all parties will support my Bill. Parlia-
ment must show that big as these corporations are, the peo-
ple are bigger still."
Stackhouse also urges stepped-up federal provincial
cooperation to remove the present notice period required
before rates can be changed. "In this computerized age, ad-
justments can be made faster," he said. His bill will also
apply to gasoline companies and department stores. If it
passes thev will be obliged to reduce their current charges.

Gala Rededication of Princes' Gates
On Aug. 13th the newly -restored Princes' Gates were of-
ficially rededicated in a gala ceremony. The Hon. Lincoln
M. Alexander, Lt. Governor of Ontario, delivered the
rededication address. Constructed to celebrate 60 years of
Confederation. the Gates were originally dedicated by Ed-
ward. Prince of Wales and his brother George on Aug. 31,
1927. Since that time, over 100 million people have passed
beneath the Goddess of Winged Victory, making the Gates
one of Canada's most recognized landmarks.
For Unemployed Young People
A new Futures option which offers unemployed young
people a chance to go back to school for half a day and work
for the other half was among three new initiatives to ex-
pand Futures has been announced by Gregory Sorbara,
Minister of Skills Development who says the new part-time
work part-time school option offers "a second chance to
employed young people who want to go back to school.
..A core of employment -disadvantaged youths exists,
despite the economic upswing and the increasing number of
job opportunities in the province. Lack of formal and basic
education plays a large role in their problems. It affects
their job stability and advancement. Nearly 45 percent of
the young people between 15 and 24 in today's full-time
workforce do not have a high school diploma,.. he said.
Qualified unemployed youths who choose the part-time
work part-time school option will receive $100 a week while
attending school, as well as the minimum wage for part-
time hours worked. Participants must work 16 to 20 hours a
week. and attend school to earn at least three high school
credits.
Support & Custody Program
The commencement of Ontario's Support and Custody
Enforcement program was announced on July 2nd by At-
torney General Ian Scott. The program provides for
automatic, computerized enforcement of support orders in
default and provides assistance to parents seeking to en-
force custody rights. "The program was established pur-
suant to the Support and Custody Orders Enforcement Act
(1965) and responds to the growing concern about lack of
compliance with court orders relating to support and
custody", Mr. Scott said.
As many as 85 percent of Ontario's 61,000 support orders
filed in family court are presently in default. In the majori-
ty of such cases, the support order involves children. "The
new program will relieve individuals of the emotional
burden and financial cost of having to start legal enforce-
ment proceedings themselves. It is hoped that this will con-
tribute to a significant decline in present default rates and a
decrease in the number of single women relying on social
assistance to feed and clothe their children because they
are not receiving support payments," the Attorney General
said.

Bill Watt's Worlds
ONSTAGE I:
42nd Street at The
O'Keefe is a Champion of a
show! The capital C is in-
tentional and our tribute to
the late Gower Champion.
the original Direc-
tor Choreographer. (In the
current production Jon
Engstrom is true to the
direction of Mr. Champion
in his adaptation and stag-
ing.)
Many, we are sure, pro-
claim a Busby Berkeley in-
fluence but they are incor-
rect even though well in-
tended. This show is pure
Champion.
Buzz Berkeley was a
journeyman hoofer who
recognized the potential of
the motion picture camera
to expand the perimeters of
dance sequences and did so
in such motion pictures as
The Gold Diggers. The
Gang's All Here (Carmen
Miranda as The lady in the
Tutti Fruitte Hat! ) and, of
course. 42nd Street. His
choreographic skills, much
less his talent, were,
however, inferior to those
of Gower Champion.
42nd Street - the stage
musical, not the "original"
motion picture will, we sug-
gest, be the musical for
which Mr. Champion will
be best and most fondly
remembered.
His choreography is hap-
py and fluid - a real ac-
complishment within the
relative confines of tap -
but it is also and, as
always. disciplined. The
exuberance of the dancers
is, we believe. the result of
a happiness in mastering
the intricacies of the dance
and making them their ser-
vant. the better to entertain
enthusiastic au-
diences.
The dancers and the
singers all well serve
the music of Ham
Warren and the lyrics
of A] Dubin. Baldly
stated. Warren and
Dubin were never the
Gershwins but their
music was bright and
gay and. as used to be
the case with all top
composers, melodic.

waltz• even gently
burlesqued and the ti-

well and leave tuneful

unscientific tests of a
show's impact is to
listen to the audience
after; if the tunes are
being hummed, that
means they're good
and that the audience
enjoyed the show. We
heard much humming

tain came down on opening
night!)
David Brummel plays
Julian Marsh the
sometimes saturnine pro-
ducer of the show within a
show and plays it well with
no excess. He is also an ex-
cellent singer - he does
Lullaby Of Broadway - and
swings a dashed efficient
foot in some of the dance
numbers. If you should be
wondering who he looks
like, it's Victor Jorv.
Gina Trano is Peggy
Sawyer the little girl who
takes over from the star
and she is essence of
cuteness but there is a hard
edge of determination to
her that shows in both her
singing and dancing. In the
latter, she is blithe but
never at the expense of
discipline. Strong direction
or strong self instinct we
don't know and don't much
care; we know only that
she could hardly be im-
proved upon.
Doug Okerson is her boy
friend, more or less, and
he. too, is an excellent
dancer with just about one
of the best time extensions
we've seen for many a pro-
duction.
Judith Thiergaard should
be singed out for especial
praise as well. She is
Dorothy Brock, the bitchy
Mad replaced by the in-
genue. She could have gone
broad in the role but she
does not. She plays with
restraint. More than that,
though, she has a thrilling
voice which oddly enough,
is heard to its best advan-
tage in the little trifle
About A Quarter To Nine.
There are so many per-
formers to praise and so
many things about this
show that our personal
discipline cannot manage
in the space allotted.
We can only conclude
rather lamely that 42nd
Street continues until the
end of the week and that
you should make every ef-
fort to see it.
This will be the final no-
p
duction of The O'Keefe
Summer Series and we con-
gratulate all for another
fine summer of fust class
and first rate entertain-
ment.
ONSTAGE II:
World class theatres
such as The O'Keeefe and
the Royal Alexandra are

formers who must serve an
arduous apprenticeship

ON RECORD:
WEA Music of Canada has
just announced that the
Green Linnet Label is now
available in Canada.
As our British friends
will recall, Green Linnet
specializes in traditional
and some contemporary
Irish and Scottish music
performed by Irish and
Scottish artists.
One label in particular
has caught our eye. That is
Peter Bellamy; The Bar-
rack Room Ballads of
Rudyard Kipling. "I've
taken my fun where I found
it. An' now I must pay for
my fun." Memories
anyone?
HIGH C'S:
Speaking of memories . .
we recall many years ago
fudging our age to get into
the Palais Royale to see
and hear "Canada's
Youngest Bandleader"
Maynard Ferguson who
was perhaps a year or so
older than we. His or-
chestra was pretty bad but
he was an exciting musi-
cian. When he went for a
high C on his trumpet he
looked in danger of hurting
himself!

kind of a show; people want
to see it more than once.
If you haven't yet seen it,
make a point of doing so.
Don't however, count on
the extension of the
engagement as a reason to
delay. Ticket sales con-
tinue to be brisk and it's
our thought that they will
be right up till the closing
date.
So if you want the flavour
of the female vocalists of
the sixties in a high
powered show, make your
reservations as soon as
possible.

Well, Chatelaine

We cannot understand.
Granted we are no longer

doesn't begrudge us being

Happy Birthday Maximillian
Happy Birthday Max-
imillian! 'That's what the

thwestern Ontario town are
saying this year as
Ontario's largest moose
turns 25.
..Moose are big business
here, and Max symbolizes
why a lot of people come to
Dryden,.. said Diane Red-
den of Dryden's chamber
of commerce.
Maximilhan Moose is a
steel and concrete giant,
twice the size of your
average moose. He's are of
several mammoth
creatures lurking by road-
sides across Northern On-
tario. Every year, Max-
imillian and his friends
Husky the Muskie and the
Wawa Goose pose for
countless camera -toting
tourists and offer inspira-
tion to thousands of game

430 a.m. • d3D p.m. Mon. - Fri.
10 a.m - 5 p.m. Saturdays
Measuring 5.5 metres
from horn to hoof, and with
an antler span of 3.3
metres, Maximillian used
to be the biggest moose in
Canada. But since 1964. the
national title has belonged
to a 9 -metre -high upstart in
Moose Jaw, Sask.
"He may no longer be the
largest," said Redden,
But Max is still the pret-
tiest-"
About 120 kms west of
Dryden, a 12 -metre
muskellunge leaps out
from the Lake of the
Woods, on the outskirst of
Kenora.
As veteran fishermen
know, northwestern On-
tario is famed for its
muskies. But none is as
large as the steel and
plywood Husky. Ontario's
answer to Jaws tips the
scales at 2,250 kilograms.
Spawned by the centen-
nial fever of 1967, Kenora's
20 -year-old mascot has
weathered well, thanks in
no small measure to the 300
kilograms of resin and
3,500 bolts holding fins and
scales together.
People in Kenora claim
that Husky the Muskie is
the largest fish in Canada.
He could have been the
world's largest too, were it
not for his American
cousin, a 65 -metre walk-
through muskie in
Hayward, Wisconsin.
Though just a small fry
next to the American com-
petition, Husky stands tall
in Kenora, offering ample
inspiration to the many
fishermen who cast their
lines in the Lake of the
Woods.
But the elder statesman
of Northern Ontario's road-
side giants is the Wawa
Goose. Since 1960, this 2 -ton
bird has perched outside
the Lake Superior town of
Wawa.
The Wawa area is a
traditional resting place
for migrating Canada
geese. In fad, the town's
name canes from an Ojib-
wa word meaning wild
gam•
The Wawa Goose we see
today is actually the second
version. The original
plaster goose was badly
battered by the elements
and eventually painted
black by vandals. In 1963, a
new goose replaced it, this
one made of steel plates.
At 9 metres tall, the
black and white giant
stands with wings outstet-
ched, poised for take -off.

Dear Mrs. Kind -Heart:

their cries for help - wilting
leaves are a sign they need

Accessories
by Catherine Jablonski
Accessories are the catalysts that bring the total
look of a room together and personalize your living
space.
Once, the way in which home furnishings' ac-
cessories were chosen was much more restrictive.
Periods or styles were never mixed. If the room was
one in traditional, or contemporary, or country fur-
niture• then every lamp, vase, clock, painting or
floral arrangement echoed the same theme.
Now, the trend is to individual expression
evidenced in subtle to daring mixes of furniture and
accessories. Today, accessories draw on a variety
of different looks, periods and styles. For example,
Oriental and Egyptian influences add elegance to
both the most modern and traditional themes. It is
not uncommon to find 18th -century looks counter-
pointed with bright, modern -looking fabrics and col-
ors, while leading-edge European art objects pro-
vide a note of surprise atop traditional wood fur-
niture.
It is time for as -you -like -it combinations. The
mass-produced mixes with the unique.
:Ind at times, the art of illusion works
its magic with exciting and economical
results. This is the era of faux marble
and granite finishes - a bit of stylish
fakery found in tabletops, urns, col-
umns, and an array of decorative
elements. Greek and Roman ac-
cessories - fakes and the real thing are
also popular. If authenticity is too cost-
ly, faux reproductions of fibreglass and
reinforced polyresin may be more af-
fordable.
Lamps are increasingly important

of benefits including
overall fitness and health,

increase in calorie burn -
off.
With regular exercise,
most people have more
energy, vitality, endurance
and feel better about
themselves in general. Ex-
ercise is fun, ideal for a
busy person's schedule,
and best of all costs
nothing.
The U.S. Centre for
Disease Control announced
recently that physical inac-
tivity raises the risk of
heart disease 1.9 times
greater than those who
have a high level of
physical activity. The
estimated risk factor
because of high blood
pressure is 36%. high
serum cholesterol 25%,
smoking 30% and physical
inactivity a whopping .59%.
A unique exercise plan
that is part of the Weight
Watchers Quick Start Plus
program is designed for in-
dividuals whether they ex-
ercise daily or have never
exercised. The program
helps firm and tone the
body while shedding
pounds
The Weight Watchers
plan is a sensible, healthy
one. It offers a choice of
five popular and simple -to-
do activities: walking.
walking -jogging, sta-
tionary bicycling, outdoor
bicycling and swimming -
all great activities for the
summer months.
Initiation to the Exercise
Program is simple.
Members are asked to visit
their family doctor, using a
simple provided checklist
their physician completes.
It helps you determine your
own start-up level based on
age and present activity
level. Each activity is sub-
categorized to identify
various levels of exertion
depending on a member's
age and state of health.
After this simple in-
troduction, Weight Wat-
chers members undertake
selected activities of their
individual program on a
voluntary basis three to
five times a week thereby
maximizing calories burn-
ed and getting trim.
All exercise programs
are preceded by pre -start
stretching and warm-up
routines followed by a cool -
down session. Says Marie
Ludwick, President of
Weight Watchers Central
and Eastern Canada. "It is
a medically endorsed sen-
sible program and includes
heart -rate checks
throughout all exercise ses-
sions "
Since the unique pro-
gram was launched last
January, Ms. Ludwick says
that participating
members have developed
healthier cardiovascular
systems, built new energy
reserves and have even
reported sunnier disposi-
tions.
This flexible and fun ex-
ercise program, combined
with the Weight Watchers
Food Plan, Self -Discovery

Education Chaos
by George Ashe, P.C. Durham West
Thousands of students in Pickering, Ajax
s o n ate and across Durham face years of being hous-
ed in portable classrooms because of words
OMAN, but no action by Premier Peterson and his
government.
The Premier's announcement last week.
that $297 million was being allocated to
reduce the pupil teacher ratio in grades one
and two by hiring 4,000 additional teachers as
well as buying 40,000 computers did nothing to
address the fundamental problem facing
school boards.
In the Durham region this September
schools will open with 430 portables and no in-
dication that Mr. Peterson is prepared to do
anything to alleviate that problem. It is the

Speaking
To You
Scott Fennel M.P.
Ontario Riding
Following the topic of my last column, you are no doubt
aware that the House of Commons was recalled this week in
order to deal with and prevent further abuse of our refugee
determination system in Canada. Many of those who have
claimed refugee status are economic migrants, not genuine
refugees who are in need of Canada's protection. In 1986,
some 70% of these claimants were not found to be genuine
refugees.
The Minister of Employment and Immigration, Hon.
Benoit Bouchard introduced a new bill which would allow
the government to take immediate steps to deter the grow-
ing abuse of our refugee policies. This Bill, C-84, the Deter-
rents and Detention Bill was tabled in the House this week
and is designed to stop abuse of the refugee determination
system through the following measures:
• substantially increased penalties for smugglers and their
accomplices, including the imposition of 10 -year jail
sentences and fines of $500,000;
• impose heavier fines and penalties on transportation com-
panies that bring undocumented people to Canada ($5,000
for each undocumented passenger);
• detain people who arrive without proper documentation
until their identities can be established;
• remove people who pose a criminal or security threat.
They will be detained until they can be removed from
Canada.
By deterring abuse, it will give those who are genuine
refugees in need of our protection more of an opportunity to
come to Canada as currently, people who are claiming
refugee status are abusing the system at the cost of
legitimate immigrants.
We are currently debating this bill and have sought the
co-operation of both opposition parties, but it is frustrating
to me that they are stalling this bill.
Our position is clear: the government will not allow
unscrupulous people to violate our laws.
............. ........_........
same in all growth areas across the province.
I agree that the pupil teacher ratio could be reduced, but
how do you do that without first building adequate
facilities? If Mr. Peterson is truly committed to the high
standard of elementary education that he professes then he
should be addressing the space problem first.
In the 1965 election campaign, Mr. Peterson promised
that if elected he would increase the provincial share of
spending for education to 60%. In fact it has decreased to
45% since 1965, from 48.3% in the last Conservative budget.
Essentially, Mr. Peterson is playing politics with the peo-
ple of Ajax and Pickering. He didn't live up to his last cam-
paign promise so how can he be trusted to honour this one.
The people of our community will see through this charade.
The NDP also have questioned the government's educa-
tion priorities and have identified some of the same con-
cerns.
If the portable classroom situation in Dtwham isn't
resolved, then by September of 1988 there will be approx-
imately 490 portable classrooms in the region, posing an
even more critical situation Durham education officials
have told me.
Parents, students and teachers should be asking if Mr.
Peterson and his government are really committed to pro-
viding a first-class education.
Since the liberals have chosen, both in 1985 and again in
1987, the quality of education and their record as one of
their campaign highlights then they should be telling the
voters of Durham West how they will address these pro-
blem and should be accountable. How can you cut down
the pupil; teacher ratio therefore necessitating the need for
even more classrooms when we are already 430 short?
What a cruel joke to play on our children!
