A consultant's report to the Metro Works Depart- ment on the search for an interim landfill site, did not recommend Brody South be used as an interim dump when Brock West is filled but said "Metro may wish to further assess Brock South's ability to receive inert or demolition waste" (such as asphalt or con- crete), "etc. to allow diver- sion of these waste streams away from Brock West or any new interim landfill".

The funds include $100,000 toward an exten- sion of the region's traffic computer system into the Durham West area. The re- maining $50.000 allocation is for traffic signals at Westney Road -Bramwell Drive -Ritchie Ave. in Ajax. Norah Stoner also an- nounced $40,000 in sup- plementary funds for the Town of Ajax for reconstruction of Cameron St. The Ministry of Transportation had earlier made a $60,000 allocation for the project, bringing the maximum provincial contribution to $100,000.

Raises Funds For Hospital Four weeks and 5,080 barbecued burgers later, Loeb's Food Store presented a cheque for $5,000 to the Ajax A Picker- ing General Hospital's ex- pansion fund. Garrie and Elaine Vaughan, owners and operators of the new stare came up with the idea to sell Loeb's quarter - pounders and a soft drink for $1. They donated all of the proceeds to the hospital. "We are a new business in the area and we felt the hospital expansion was a good cause," said Game Vaughan. "We wanted to be a good corporate citizen and help in any way that we could " Thanks to the Vaughan's generosity, the hospital is a little bit closer to reaching its goal of raising $7 million for the expansion. To date over $2.2 million has been raised. R. Martino Funeral Home Limited 4115 Lawrence Ave. E. 281.6800 Just west of Kingston Rd. Page 2 THE NEWS POST Wed. Aug. l7, Iga Opinion a page for expression for you and us Parking Is A Priority by Bob Watson Well the good old Canadian National Exhibition is star- ting this week with the usual fanfare and enthusiasm. We would like to see this 110 years old organization become a little more available to those of us who grew up in Toronto. The flaw is, of course, that with the Dome Stadium com- ing on stream, Ontario Place and Harbourfront, the park- ing is becoming more critical each and every year. The answer is so easy bud for some inexplicable reason no one in downtown Toronto wishes to face the facts that parking is essential to attract people to the CNE. Transit is fine by TTC or GO - but both of them together won't handle the volume and the family car is also essential for this operation. Could we suggest an answer? How about a paridng building about six stories high, one at the west end of the CNE and one at the eastern end of the CNE. To pay for the buildings perhaps commercial outlets could be incor- porated into the street level. With the Don Valley Parkway. Highway 401 and Gardiner Expressway constantly in repairs and traffic restrained throughout the summer months, motorists are getting a lit- tle fed up of trying to get somewhere easily and it would be nice to know that at the end of the hectic run to the CNE that there is parking without a four mile walk' Looking For A Friend Dear Sir: Bloorview Children's Hospital is looking for a volunteer to be a friend to a disabled young adult woman. Gloria is non-verbal, but loves to talk ta=ng her Blissboard, and her favourite past -time is to go shopping for clothes and eat out in a restaurant, or practice driving her new electric wheelchair. Although she has several problems related to her Cerebral Palsy. Gloria is a friendly, bright peson, who really likes people, and has a real need for --someone special" to share her experiences, enjoy her triumphs and support her through some of the '*downs* She would like to spend about 2 to 3 hours a week with her friend. Training will be given in all aspects of working with Gloria - how to use a blissboard to talk, wheelchair manage- ment and so on, and staff are always available for ongoing support and assistance. This is a densanding position. requiring patience, understanding and tolerance. but the rewards are great. To help someone to achieve unexpected leveiss of ability, to assist then to enjoy so much more in life is to feel ter feet tall. Love and care are easy to give, but can be worth a million dollars per minute.

FACTS FROM THE BETTER ROADS COALITION Congestion is the number one problem with our road system today. It is caused by too many vehicles using too few roads. It is aggravated by the worsening conditions of this sytem. Some 94 percent of all travel in Ontario is by road. During the last 15 years, motor vehicle registrations in Ontario have increased by 72 percent. In 197o there were 3.041.000 vehicles on the road and by 1965 this figure had in- creased to 5,218,000. This trend continues today. Two years from now one third of all of Ontario's bridges will need to be repaired or torn down. Two years from now 50 percent of all of the roads and highways in Ontario will be in the government's eyes either in fair or poor condition - Over the last 20 years, provincial government spending for highways and municipal roads declined by 33 percent. Grant Awarded To Scarborough '.liar -Profit Housing Group U Reseau des femmes du sud de I'Ontario has been awarded a $1,000 development grant from the Province of Ontario. Hon. Ed Fulton. Minister of Transportation and bi1PP Scarborough East has announced. The grant will be used to help offset the costs of incorporating a non-profit housing organization and preparing an initial submission to the government under a gederal-provincial non-profit haw- ing program. Million -Dollar Anti -Drug Fund The Masonic Foundation of Ontario has annouuiced the establishment of a $1 million special fund to be used in the fight against alcohol and drug abuse among the youth of the province.

In a strongly -worded letter to the Chairman of the MTRCA, Mr. Hicks deplored the decision by the authority to sell 35 acres of land in the valley to private developers for the construction of "executive -style" homes. Mr. Hicks stated that, "Over the years. supporters of the Rouge Valley, myself included, have been very outspoken in their adamant opposition to any development in this en- vironmentally sensitive area." Mr. Hicks finds it incom- prehensible that the MTRCA can claim that the lands in question are "surplus" when they remain a vital part of the valley's eco -system. A few days following the MTRCA decision regarding the land sale, supporters of the Range Vallev were struck by the announcement that the Metro Toronto Works Depart- ment would be reeoaunenfing that the Rouge River Valley be the site of a 165 hectare garbage dump. Bob hicks is con. vuiced that a full environmental assessment would prove that the proposed dump would do irreparable damage to the fragile emviroru ent of the valley. The federal Minnster of Environment. The Hon. Tom 1MacMALM who recently visited the Range River Valley. was impressed by its natural beauty. and the Scarborough Council voted 09 last month in favour of saving the valley for recreational use. Therefore, Bob Hicks is astounded that the MT'RCA and the Metro works department should choose to ignore the tremendous support shown for the pro- tection of this wilderness area. Pretty Good - And You? The standard image of Canadians as a nation of slight y pessimistic people Who rarely wax enthusiastic about anything appears to be off base when it comes to matters of health. Ask us about it and we reply in no uncertain terims. A Statistics Canada study did just that and found that more than 60 percent of Canadians rate their health as good to excellent. And an even greater percentage, including people Who experienced some health problems, reported they were satisfied with the state of their health. Are we right when we take this view of ourselves' In the decade up to 1966, life expectancy of Canadian males increased. Females continued to hold an edge in this department, with a life expectancy almost seven years greater than males. Canadian males at birth can now ex- pect to live 73 years, females almost 8o years. Nearly 40 percent of Canadians over the age of 20 can be classified as overweight. But this is an Improvement over 10 years ago, when the Canada Health Survey found that a full 50 percent of Canadians over 20 were overweight. Those of us who are ovemeight, underweight or who smoked were more likely to report health problems than persons within their recommended weight limits and those who did not smoke. Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death for both men and women, accounting for 43 percent of deaths in 1986. Heart disease• a major member of the car- diovascular disease family, killed one in three Canadians. Accidents are the leading cause of death among children and young adults. Rates for fatal motor vehicle accidents, responsible for 29 percent of all accidental deaths in 1966, have been declining since the 1970s, in part because of lower speed limits and mandatory use of seat belts. But don't discount the benefits of feeling healthy just because you think you are. The survey found that among seniors, those who stayed active and led a full social life felt happier and more satisfied with their health status than did less active seniors with exactly the same health conditions. So it obviously doesn't hurt if you believe it. r------------------------------------------ Give A Gift That Lasts All Year!

Farm -Start Program: A Growing Success The Ontario Farm -Start program which provides direct financial assistance to new farmers has neared full enrol- ment. commented Agriculture and Food Minister Jack Rid- dell. The program was introduced in January in an attempt to encourage the creation of new farms in Ontario. Under the =97.5 million initiative, eligible producers will receive $ OOO in grants over a seven-year period with an initial grant of $11,000. ..The response to this program shows there is optimism about the future of agriculture particularly from our young people choosing a career in agriculture," Mr. Riddell said. .'I have been impressed with the high calibre of those being accepted into the program." The ministry will accept applications for the program un- til it reaches the 3,300 mark and then take an additional 500 on a waiting list. About 2,300 new farmers will eventually receive grants under the program. Festival Of Corn Featured At Agricultural Museum Thousands of golden cobs of corn will be consumed at the Ontario Agricultural Museum's annual Family Corn Festival on Sun.

Aug. 17,19a THE NEWS/ POST Page 5 Three Summers Of Safari Reading In July 1986 the first season of the Summer Safari Reading Club was launched to promote sum- mertime reading for young people at all Scarborough Public Library branches. The colourful hunter logo, from the book "1 Hunter" (Greenwillow Books 1962) was used with the permission of its creator and author Pat Hutchins. Since then the "little hunter" has been featured on all Summer Safari passports, bookmarks, flyers and posters for three con- secutive summers. The reading club, which began this year on July 4 and runs through to Sept. 2 still continues to offer children an opportunity to enjoy and report on books they have read during the summer and also allows them to share their reading adventures with other club members. A variety of Summer Safari booklists give the young readers suggestions for books they will enjoy. Eva Martin, co-ordinator of children's and young adult programming and the chief planner of the Summer Safari is very pleased with the response to the reading 19th Century Wedding Ceremony Recreated One of the most impor- tant social events in the life of a 19th century rural village - a wedding - will be re-enacted at Black Creek Pioneer Village on Sun. Aug. 21 beginning at 1:30 p.m. In many ways, the event will be characteristic of weddings in 19th century Ontario. The groom will be a middle-aged widower with children, while his bride will be much yam. They will be mar- ried in an authentic Methodist service, followed by a haxheon, which will feature grace, toasts, speeches, and perhaps music and dance. Visitors from the 20th century are welcome to view the ceremony and the Luncheon along with the costumed 19th century wedding party, choir, and guests. An interpreter will be on hand to explain the wedding customs as they are re-enacted. Following the luncheon, the bride and groom will retire to their new home, where they will be sub- jected to another prevalent 19th century custom - the drivaree. Some village ruf- fians will gather outside the home to serenade the couple with "music" made with the aid of horns, pots and pans, and other noisemakers. All of the wedding ac- tivities are free with ad- mission to Black Creels Pioneer Village. The village is open daily, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and is located at Jane St. and Steeles Ave. in northwest Metro Toronto. Rural Beaches Project The McUopolitan Toron- to and Region Conservation Authority is seeking the co- operation of livestock farmers to improve water quality in rural streams. Staff from the authority's Rural Beaches Project will approach livestock farmers this year for co- operation in evaluating how manure is managed and stored, and to develop detailed, cost-effective methods for reducing the potential for water pollu- tion Cooperation in evalua- tions and remedial work is voluntary. If work is re- quired at a farm site, the authority will provide technical assistance, while grants may be available from the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food The Rural Beaches Pro- ject, now in its second year, has studied the causes of bacterial pollution in rural streams north of Metro Toronto, and has surveyed livestock farmers and other rural residents. Fecal coliform bacteria, which originate in human and animal wastes, is a major pollutant in rural streams. The bacteria enter streams from a number of sources, such as suburban communities and septic systems, but agricultural activities are also an important source. club. "Last year we had 11,900 children attending 662 programs throughout the system." Martin points to the safari theme as one reason why the program has been so successful. "The idea of exploring has been used in many different ways such as exploring different coun- tries or discovering the world of fantasy and science fiction. It can also be used very effectively in visual displays " Student Debbie Claris, one of twelve Summer Safari university students hired for 1968, has con- ducted the reading club at the newest branch of the Scarborough Public Library Board, Ken- nedy I Eglinton Neighbourhood Branch. The sessions are divided between younger readers 6 years up to 9 and older children 10 to 12 years. Frank Faubert Announces Grant Frank Faubert, M.P.P. Scarborough -Ellesmere has announced a (1657,000 grant to the new Oakridge Community Centre through the Provincial Ministry of Taoism and Recreation. This new recreation cen- tre will provide recrea- tional activities to Oakridge area residents of all ages. The centre will be about 19,000 square feet and will feature a fitness centre, older adults lounge. craft rooms, storage, and office facilities "I thoroughly enjoyed it," Clark says, " and Che little kids are really great. All the kids are very recep- tive but they will let you know if they like or don't like a book or story right away. Even the youngest kids." An informal survey of the children in Clark's group of children 10 to 12 years old said that the most popular books included "Choose Your Own Adventure" stories, `Heathcliffe" books and almost all of Judy fume's books. "We did more storytell- ing this year than any other year," says Martin, "as a result more children became interested in reading who were not in- terested before and that is what this program is all about." For further information on the Summer Safari Reading Club contact any branch of the City of Scar- borough Public library Board. This program is presented with some assistance from Employ- ment and Immigration Canada, through the Challenge '88 Canada Suan- mer Employment/Ex- perience mployment/Ex- perience Development (S.E.E.D.) program.

Aug. 17, 1988 Bill Watt's Worlds PARTY TIME: We're not trying to do a Sylvia (Choc Choo) Train but really must mention The Gatsby Soir6e that we attended recently. Under the auspices of The Second Monday Reel Club and The Canadian Centre for Advanced Film Studies it was held at Wind - fields. Windt'ields is now the home of the institute but was formerly the sum- mer home of the Taylors. How pleasant it was to play croquet on the same lawn as E.P. himself might have done. In fact, with a line of fine antique automobiles bordering the croquet lawn one might have imagined oneself on the Swope estate. (Herbert Bayard Swope was the model for Fitzgerald's Jay Gatsby) The food was good for those who braved the perhaps overlong lineups (we preferred the canap6s and hors d'oeuvres served by circulating servitors), the wine was plentiful. the dixieland music exciting if not authentic and the general air that one could wish. Most of the guests joined in the spirit of the evening and dressed in clothes of the twenties. We were pro- bably the only one there who didn't have to rent or make up a costume. We joust wore our regular clothing. Heck. if it was good enough for grand dad it's good enough for us. Besides the old ice cream pastel scat simply won't wear out.

We have, however. met Ellen Penile. one of the chief organizers of the Gatsby Sow6e, and suggest that hers is now the nicest back on the current social scene.

Do not be mislead either by the descriptive piece. ..a grand, sweeping tale of for- bidden love and divided loyalty in the vast land- scape of China. It's grand in the sense of being large but that's about it in so far as serving as a description of the contents. Oh, there's love and lust and the usual things one ex- pects in modern novels but they are there only as background for the true measure of the book. It is, in fact, a fictionalized ac- cent of the rise of Com- munism of China. After reading it, one well sym- pathizes with the early communists who believed they were creating a better life. From the vantage point of retrospect one sees. of course, how absolute power corrupts absolutely but the early days of any political movement are always ex- citing. One supposes that ever the Kuo-Mintang that overthrew the last of the emperors and was then overturned by the Com- mrmists because of the former's excesses began with good intentions. Anyway, Blood Red Rose the tick has a significance incidentally - follows a life of Kate Richmond, an American born in China, trained as a doctor in America who has returned to China to start her own clinic. Predictably she meets a rich occidental who loves her and is loved in return. Life appears rosy but a chain of events separate them and she cones to loge Shen Sun Lung, an idealistic young com- munist. Far and away the most gripping of the events in this long novel are those of the Great March. Based on actual writings, the hard- ships and privations en- dured were incredible.

It remains, though, that those who made the epic trek are true heroes and after reading Blood Red Rose the seed of Chinese Communism can be better understood. To be fair - and this is for those who don't give a fig for social issues - it's a cracking good adventure story. ON RECORD: Rossini -Operatic Arisa; Raul Giminez and the Scottish Chamber Or- chestra (Nimbus C D ). Notwithstanding the odd coupling of conductor and orchestra, this is Italian opera at its most Italian and arguable best. Now them, have you ever wondered why operas are not made up solely of arias? There's a very good reason: one simply can't listen to one after the other and their effect would be diminished. Raul Giminez is a fine tenor and Rossini's works have the power to bring tears to the eyes of the listener with their shear emotion. But. to listen to eleven arias in 6o minutes is almost a sensory overload and one's atten- tion wands s. This C D includes Arias from La Pietra Del Paragone, Otello. 11 Bariere Di Siviglia and several others. As well. the accompanying materials include photographs of Giminez in various cosiunnes and the lyrics in English and Italian to the eleven arias. This collection will be en- joyed by serious opera buffs who like to sing along as it were but for one who is the slightest big skittish about opera, we suggest something a bit lighter and less concentrated. We hope we have not damned with diminished praise. PAL HAL: No, this isn't about Harold Ballard. It's about r "One of Scarborough's best kept secrets is out."

Farm ,Start Program: A Growing Success The Ontario Farm -Start program which provides direct financial assistance to new farmers has neared full enrol- ment, commented Agriculture and Food Minister Jack Rid- dell. The program was introduced in January in an attempt to encourage the creation of new farms in Ontario. Under the $97.5 million initiative, eligible producers will receive $38,000 in grants over a seven-year period with an initial grant of $1,000. "The response to this program shows there is optimism about the future of agriculture particularly from our young people choosing a career in agriculture," Mr. Riddell said.

The ministry will accept applications for the program un- til it reaches the 3,300 mark and then take an additional 500 on a waiting list. About 2,300 new farmers will eventually receive grants tinder the program. Wed.

Chess pies are uniquely southern desserts developed dur- ing the 18th century to take advantage of the surplus eggs and butter on plantations. Originally the pies were sweeten- ed with the molasses which was also easily available in southern ports as a result of the rum -molasses -slave trade. As refined sugar became available, brown sugar and then white sugar began to replace the molasses. The greater the sugar content of a pie the longer it would keep - an impor- tant consideration in the days before refrigeration. The large amount of sugar also gives chess pie fillings their characteristic translucency, leading to their being called "transparent pies". Pecan pie is probably the best known variation of chess pe. There are many answers to the question of where the name originated. One explanation suggests that the name is a corruption of the word "chest" describing pies baked with so much sugar they could be stored in a pe chest without spoiling. Another story says that a plantation cook was ask- ed what she was baking that smelled so good and her answer was "jes' pie". Q. The ingredient phenylalanine appears on the labels of many diet soft drinks. Can you tell me what it is? T.C. A. According to Mr. Surinder Kumar of the Technical Ser- vices Department of Pepsico, phenylalanine is an amino acid which is normally a part of every protein ingested by the body. Diet drinks such as Diet Pepsi are sweetened with aspar- tame which is composed of two amino acids, one of which is phenylalanine. A small percentage of people have been diagnosed as phenylketonurics. These people are sensitive to large doses of phenylalanine. The warning labels on diet sodas are designed to alert the people who are medically sensitive to phenylalanine that it is present in the soft drink. its ability to eliminate disap- pointing results before it's too late! You know on the spot whether or not you've got a good photograph, whether you should shoot again but this time from another angle, or whether you want to add a little more color or another subject. Simple rips Now that you've discovered how to successfully fight off the dreaded "hotel syn- drome", keep in mind a few simple tips that will enable you to take better pictures: • Move in close to your sub- ject and don't try to m- clude too much from too far away. Instead, focus on interesting details or un- usual angles for more dra- matic results. • Remember to travel with at least twice as much film as you anticipate shooting. You never know if film will be readily available once you are there or if it will be reasonably priced. • To avoid harsh shadows when photographing peo- 1on a sunny day. use 1 -in flash or a camera with a built-in program- med Rash. • (Mten the best photogra- c subjects but are 1�Ple: remember to depict their character as it is. ra- ther than pose them. The Queen's Park Report from Noah Stoner MPP Durham West A new training package has been developed to help educate workers about hazardous materials in the workplace. Provincial legislation. which will make Ontario a partner in the national Workplace Hazardous MateriaLs Informa- tion System (Wi 11tIIS ) . comes into force October 31st. The ung phage is desiignned to assist employers to meet the requirements of the legislation, which is an amendment to the Occupational Health and Safety Act. uniform labelling of all hazardous workplace materials is required under W kGS. The creation of material safety data sheets containing information about the hazardous substances and how to handle them is also required. The Labouir Ministry says that in addibom employers will have to train all employees working with, or close to, bazar - dos materials so that they understand the potentiai hazards and know how to deal with emergencies. The Ministry says employer's are required to ensure workers will be able to reoogruize and understand the labell- ing on hazardous materials: understand material safety data sheets: and safely handle, use, store and dispose of hazardous materials. The tmuwg lam was developed by the nine employer safety associations in Ontario and the Ontario Workers Occupational Health and Safety Centre in co- operation with the Occupational Health and Safety Educa- tion Authority, which is an arm of the Workers' Compensa- tion Board. As well as assisting OHSEA in the overall development of the training package, the Labour Ministry has underwrit- ten the cosi of developing the training materials and the training of instructors to teach the program. "Labour, management and the government want to en- sure that Ontario workers and employers have access to a comprehensive training program that can be adapted to any workplace. "While there are training programs available from the private sector, we wanted to ensure that employers have access to a modestly -priced training package," kir. Sor- bara said. He also pointed out that the Provincial legislation goes beyond the basic requirements of the national WHRM plan. Mr. Sorbara said it includes physical agents, such as laser generators, and requires employers to create and maintain inventories of materials kept in the workplace. The training package can be ordered from the Occupa- tional Health and Safety Education Authority, one of the safety associations or the Workers Occupational Health and Safety Centre at the Ontario Federation of Labour. NORAH'S NOTES: The Town of Pickering has received a grant of just over $44,000 under the Ministry of Housing's Ontario Home Renewal Program. The program, which is admnistered by municipalities, provides interest-free loans of up to $7,500 to assist eligible homeowners who want to bring their tames up to standard. The Ministry says the program emphasizes upgrading of faulty structural and sanitary conditions, plumbing, insulation, electrical and heating systems. The $44,000 represents an advance against the maximum total Provincial grant to Pickering of approximately $176,000 for the current fiscal year. easiest way to do this is to say "I'd like to take a pic- ture of you, but please carry on with what you're doing". Instead of returning home from this year's vacation with just memories and "the back to work blues", you will have a great set of vacation photos to share with your friends and remind you that yes, you did just have a wonderful and re- laxing vacation no matter how short it seemed.
