Sept. 21, 1988 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Keep Bank Rate Down by Bob Watson The head of the Bank of Canada seems to be obsessed with the notion that our Canadian dollar must look good against the U.S. dollar and he doesn't appear to care that in- dividual Canadians are having to pay out more in mor- tgages or loans from a bank. For some weeks now each Thursday brings another notch forward of the bank rate and while this is terrific for the chartered banks, it is rotten for individuals trying to make ends meet in our society. It is also making life very difficult for small business owners trying to balance their loans at the local bank. We realize that the Bank of Canada is supposed to func- tion separately from the federal government, but if we were Michael Wilson. Minister of Finance, we would step in and tell the head of the Bank of Canada to stop killing the economy because he has a hang-up on the inflation rate. The current rates of interest are two percentage points above what is good for society and worrying about the price of the Canadian dollar in the U.S. is, in our opinion, the least problem in our society- We hope that this Thursday the Bank of Canada lavers the bank rate considerably as the Canadian dollar is now at 82t U.S. and therefore the strongest it has been for a long time. Save It Till Spring by Bob Watters The "hanong-in-mid-air-atmosphere of the pending federal election has a lot of people in nervous tension. But for the majority of Canadians, the question is "Who should I give my vote to"? In the first place with the American presidential election on television the attention of viewers is taken, especially when the oiympics finish in Seoul. And in the second place we believe federal leaders should be conscious of the fad that a large part of Canada will be involved in murncips elections shortly and a federal vote on top of them will cause an even greater number to avoid the local govern- ment vote. A local government is far more important in our democratic state. We believe that the Prime Minister should stop dishing out ..goodies" which we taxpayers haven't got and relax until spring.

Report From Parliament.........................:::...........:T:............ from Reg Stackhouse, MP Scarborough West An important notice to all Canada Pension Plan con- tributors, age 60 to 69 is now being distributed. Here are some questions and answers that explain how important its information is. 1. Q: Who will receive the notice? A: All persons who have reached 60 years of age but are not yet 70 years of age by November 30, 1968, who have made at least one valid contribution to the Canada Pension Plan ( CPP) and who are not already receiving a CPP retirement or disability pension will be sent the notice. 2. Q: Why is the notice being sent? A: A notice was the fastest and most direct way of inform- ing contributors who might be considering retirement soon of the lifetime advantage of doing so in 1988 rather than in early 1989. 3. Q: what is the latest a contributor can apply for a retire- ment benefit to receive this lifetime increase? - A: Because the earliest a benefit can begin is the month following application and because benefits must be in pay by December 1968 to take advantage of this situation, the latest a contributor can apply is November, 1988. 4. Q: The notice states that contributors could be better off if they started receiving their retirement pension in 1986 rather than in 1989. How much better off? A: That depends on the contributor's age, the month the benefit commences and the contributor's past earnings for CPP purposes. The difference could be from a few cents to about $10 per month. 5. Q: Why is this happening? A: This situation is the result of occurrences in the economy in general as well as within the CPP. In the past, the wage - based earnings ceiling under the Plan, which determines maximum benefits, increased at a faster rate than avenge consumer prices - which determine annual cost -of -living to- cases in benefits in pay. From the mid-198o's until recent- ly. average wage increases grew at a dower rate than infla- tion As well, the formula used to calculate the maximum pensionable CPP earnings in 1986 and 1987 resulted 'in almost no growth (0.4 percent) in the maximum earnings between these two years. This in turn affected the growth in rates of benefits going into pay. With inflation averaging between 4.0 and 4.5 percent, the growth of benefits in pay outpaced the growth in new benefits. The formula used in 1986 and 1987 was replaced by a new formula m the package of CPP amendments which berate effective in January 1., 1987 ( Bill C-46). G. Q: Will this happen in other years to cane? A: It is likely that the situation will occur again in 1990 as a carry over from 1989. It is difficult to estimate the magnitude of the difference between new and indexed benefits as this will depend on the growth in average wages and prices over the next year. In the future, this situation could reoccur when growth in average wages falls behind growth in prices. 7. Q: Is the increase resulting from beginning benefits in 1988 permanent? A: Yes. It becomes part of the regular benefit and is index- ed each year thereafter to reflect i lci eases in the cost of living. & Q: How old does a contributor have to be to begin receiv- ing a CPP retirement pension? A: A contributor must be at least 6o years of age. The earliest a retirement benefit can be paid is the month following a contributor's 60th birthday. As the normal CPP contributory period extends to age 65. retiremnent benefits Paid prior to age 65 are reduced (at a rate of 6 percent a Year) to take into account the longer payment period. likewise. buts which start after age 65 but before age 70 are adjusted upwards. 9. Q: Does a contributor have to retire from his or her job to begin receiving a CPP retirement pension? A: If the contributor is 60 to 64 years of age inclusive, be or sbe must either have stopped working completely at the ed of the month before the benefit is to start or else be earning a salary that would be less than approximately $6500 if received over the whole year. Once a contributor under the age 65 is receiving a retirement benefit, subsequent employment earnings do not affect his or her entitlement. Contributors 65 years of age or older do not have to retire from employment in order to receive benefits. 10. Q: Are there any other faders contributors should take into account before deciding whether to begin benefits in 1968? A: Yes and they are very important considerations. As mentioned in No.9 above, contributors 60 to 64 must be retired from employment or earning at a low level. Such contributors should consider. - whether they are ready to retire - whether they are ready to give up a salary - whether arrangements to retire can be completed by the end of November - whether early retirement will affect pension benefits pro- vided by their employers. In addition, contributors should be aware that CPP Bob's Notes ................................................................::: Deficits Over $124 Million Some 117 Ontario hospitals are projecting deficits for this fiscal year amounting to a combined total of over $124 million, says Andy Brandt, Ontario P.C. leader. • Brandt points the finger at the Ministry of Health as being the main culprit in creating the deficits. "The Minister of Health, Ms. Caplan, has already stated that the policies and funding provisions of her ministry have been ambiguous and even unfair," says Brandt. "Un- til the ministry gets its own act into order, the P.C. Party of Ontario believes that if hospital deficits have been incurred because of increased service to the community, then those deficits should be funded." Summer Demand High Members of the Toronto Real Estate Board reported a total of 3,697 MIS residential sales in August, up five per- cent over July. "Clearly people are buying to take advan- tage of current interest rates. As pressure on the prime rate mounts, people are anticipating further increases, said Board President Edward Hou. Accessibility to Transit Services Ontario Transportation Minister Ed Fulton has released the report of the task fare on Improved Accessibility to Conventional Transit Services (IACPS) for frail and am- bulatory disabled persons. "The report identifies over 100 features designed to improve accessibility to bus and rapid transit systems in the 72 municipalities providing public transit in Ontario," said Fulton. "A significant number of frail, elderly and disabled persons will be able to use regular public transit if certain features are provided." More Bibles For Soviet Union The American Bible Society reports that chtarines in the Soviet Union have asked the United Bible Societies - the partsnaship for global Bible work which ABS helps fund - to supply them with a farther 100,000 Bibles in Russian, as well as 50,000 Bible storybooks.

As a Inst step toward better drug education, the Ministry will release a new draft cur, ncvlun guideline on physical and health education this month, Mr. Ward said. Developed over the past two years, the guideline makes mandatory a number of drug educa- tion topics from grades four though lo. Under the new guideline, education about tobacco will be mandatory for students from grades four through 10. In grades seven through 10. learning about alcohol and drugs such as marijuana and cocaine will be mandatory for the first time. Bob's Notes Statfacts More and more, women are moving into occupations once dominated by men, according to the Gtnde to Statistics Canada Data on Women. Women accounted for 22 percent of all lawyers in 1986, up from just over 5 percent in 1971. Twenty-one percent of all physicians and surgeons in 1986 were women, almost double the 11 percent of 1971. Phar- macy became a predominantly female profession - 51 per- cent in 1966 compared to about 25 percent in 1971 - Did You Know ... Wasaga Beach on Lake Huron is the longest fresh water beach in the world. The 14 -kilometre beach was the laun- ching site of the fust non-stop flight between Canada and Britain. North America's largest zoo is the 710 -acre Metro Toron- to Zoo. The Capybara, the world's largest rodent, resides there. retirement income could affect the level of other govern- ment benefits (e.g., War Veterans Allowances). The bottom line is that contributors will have to determine whether the gain they could receive from the CPP is to their advantage overall. --------------------------------------- Give A Gift That Lasts All Year!

I Business Community News J Corporate Challenge Sunday The excitement is in - daily in Scar - as the 1st Annual Scarborough Corporate Challenge draws near. Although the idea originated in California, the Windsor Chamber of Commerce and the Ontario Ministry of Tourism and Recreation started the hall rolling in Canada by organizing our 1st Cor- porate Challenge in 1990. Now, eight years later, it is still strong, having increased from 43 teams in 1960 to 1 com- pany teams in 1967. Organizers for Scar- borough's first ever Cor- porate Challenge are en- thusiastic about the impact that this type of event could have on the community. Experience has shown that everyone benefits; in- dividual participants, com- panies, corporate sponsors, volunteers, families and community agencies. The high level of co-operation promotes pride in com- pany, community and team members. As the official sponsor, the Chamber strongly believes that this is an ex- cellent opportunity to put Scarborough an the map as a unique place to live and wat. The Ontario Ministry of Tourism and Recreation is providing its expertise from previous events and through "Wintario" will -milk of theme. The operation organizing day's events will be the respon- sibility of Chamber members and other designated volunteer agen- cies. $351 VMY tt R IANCIAI ASSISTANCE pdm You Nate Aq So* Chairman, Steve Baumgartner is en- thusiastic about being in- volved in "the Challenge". Steve's objective is to en- sure that Scarborough's First Annual Corporate Challenge will become one of the best in Ontario and set the framework on which to build future events. "Scarborough has the potential to put together a first-class Challenge right from day one," Steve com- mented. "As a community, we have all the right ingre- dients; population, variety of business, expertise and a community spirit of par- ticipation. It will be impor- tant for Scarborough that we give a good first impres- sion and to do that we will need to be well prepared. People are the key and I personally welcome all those who are able to lend the Chamber a hand to help put our city on the map," declared Steve Baumgart- ner. Volunteers are needed on committees for Promotion & Publicity, Registration & Awards, Fpm oce & Ad- ministration, Program & Facilities and Food & Beverage. Please contact Sylvia B1axo, 439.4140 or Steve Baumgartner, 4314627, if you can help either before, after or on the day itself.

Apple trees were among the first things planted after land was cleared. They were often the pioneers' only solace of fruit. Catherine Parr Traill, in The Canadian Set- tler's Guide, written in 1855, advised settlers to plant apple trees in the first or second year of settle- ment. "Not only are apples valuable as a most palatable and convenient article of diet,'. wrote Mrs. Traill, "but also as one of the most wholesome .. the cooling acid of fruit becomes essentially necessary for the preserva- tion of health.'. Apples kept well if stored properly, and were used in a great number of recipes, including pie, jelly, apple ®agar, jam, butter, soup, and cider. Apple cider was a popular drink in Upper Canada. as common as water. One writer remembered that "it was a universal custom to set a dish of apples and a pitcher of cider before everyone who came to the house." The pioneers planted many varieties of apples, but stores today sell few of them One of the most popular apples, however, is named Uta pioneer farmer who settled in Up- per Canada. John McIntosh settled near Dundeka, in present- day eastern Ontario. He found an apple tree on his land that produced apples that were particularly juicy and red Word of these apples soon spread throughout Upper Canada, and the variety became known as McIntosh Red. John McIntosh's son, Allan, cultivated an or- chard of McIntosh Reds, and began selling seedlings - and the rest is history. Johnny Appleseed was another paoea folk hero responsible for the spread of apple orchards. More than a popular myth, Johnny Appleseed actually did exist. Born John Chap man, he wandered the Ohio Valley scattering apple seeds and starting small orchards. He was an eccen- tric man who wore a pot on his head ( which he also us- ed for cooking), shirts made from coffee sacks, and rags on his feet. Many of the orchards he planted still stand. Once the apples were harvested, they had to be stored or preserved by the pioneers. When stored whole, they were usually placed in a cool, dry cellar, frequently packed in straw, sawdust, sand or moss. An excellent way to preserve apples was to dry them. The Mennonites and Pennsylvania Germans lik- ed to make dried apple rings called schnitz. To make these was a tedious task, so neighbors would get together for sdmitzing bees, enabling them to get a lot of work accomplished while getting an opportuni- ty to socialize too. The rings, or sednrnitz, were bung from strings or placed on racks to dry. Once dried, they would keep for a hang time. Apples were also used by the pioneers for a variety of I ome remedies, such as an ointment for rough skin and a care for stomach ache. Pioneer children used ap- ples in their amusements. They made apple dolls and played games that are still popular today, such as bob- bing for apples. Many of the techniques am trapples aditional pes will be demonstrated at Black Creek Pioneer Village during Celebrate the Apple Harvest, on the weekend of Oct. 1-2. Visitors can see for themselves bow sehnitze s were made, and sample ap- ple made by the costi villas Also, the Bake it with Ap- ples contest, sponsored by Canada Packers Inc., will be held m Sun. Oct. 2 Peo. ple are invited to test their apple pie baking skills. For details on hero to enter, call 736-1733. Black Creek Pioneer Village is open daily.

Their solution was to do most of the work outside the house - on the roof over the garage. All the major carpentry work was completed on the outside before they broke through the wall to connect thefamily room to an upstairs hall. -Anyone who is consider- ing an addition should make sure they don't break into the house until they have to," says John. "it makes life a lot eas- ier... Although the job took two months to complete. the dis- ruption inside the hoose was minimal - and the end result is spectacular. The new family room fea- tures a cathedral ceiling with skylights. A wall of windows overlooking the street is framed by built-in oak sheiv- ing. The room has a zero - clearance fireplace with marble facing, which was sal- vaged from a demolished of- fice building. The high cathe- dral ceiling left room over a closet for a small loft, which is accented by a custom hrass bar rail. From this unique perch. the Tower' children watch television.

Fiherglas Pink Insulation was used in the floor to achieve an insulation value of R-40, and Fiherglas Pink Batts were installed in the wall,, -and in the cathedral ceil- in�.

The renovation became necessary, when John and Barh had their third child, and a decision of whether to move or renovate had to be made. They liked their neighhour- hood, and with real estate prices escalating. John said the decision to stay was easy. John enjoyed the renovating process and had a g000d rela- tionship with his general con- tractor. John admits he may have supervised the work a little closer than the trade,- penpple would have liked. I'm not one of those guys who says, 'There's the work, go to it.' and then leaves for the day.' ,a,.s John -I like to DUNN watch what's going on."

The carefully planned reno- vation had only one un- pleasant surprise - John and his hu ,der couldn't find new roof shingles to match the originals, and eventually had to reshingle the entire roof.

The bylaw, recently released by Mr. Bradley, allows municipalities to require local industries to reduce harmful discharges to municipal sewer systems. "`Discharges of toxic contaminants and other hazardous substances threaten the emironrnent, the health of sewage treatment plant workers, and the effective operation of treatment plants," Mr. Bradley said. "Stringent sewer use controls will soon be mandatory wider my ministry's waterways clean-up program, MISA (Municipal-bidusstrial Strategy for Abatement). Implemen- tation of this bylaw is a good way for municipalities and in- dustrial sewer dischargers to cut pollution as they gear -up for tougher MISA rules," he said. A Ministry of Environment news release says most Municipalities in Ontario currently have sewer use control bylaws based on a 1975 model bylaw which is inadequate to control toxic substances, many of which pass through the sewage treatment system to contaminate the environment. The new model bylaw sets mar stringent discharge limits on toxic metals such as capper. radium, nickel and zinc. In addition, it does not allow the discharge of hazar- dous wastes such as PCBs and pesticides, forbids the use of dilution to meet discharge limits and provides improved ad- ministrative procedures to control sewer use. Nearly one third of the volume received at sewage treat- ment plants comes fromh the estimated 13,600 industries which discharge to the sewer system_ The F.nvinnomen t Ministry says that under the mould sewer bylaw information would be collected by municipalities on the number of industries imB to the sewer system and the type and volume of their waste. The lfu"xy adds that municipal adoption of the bylaw would Mad to lower contaminant levels in final effluent discharged to the environment and in sludges. which would slow mumicipalibes to use more sludge on agricultural land. This is a positive use for what is otherwise a waste disposal problem. Training programs to help municipalities in implemenr ting and enforcing the bylaw will be provided by the Ministry - old bylaw was drafted by the Mu>istry, Envirow mleht Canada and the Municipal Engineers' Association It has been reviewed by mmr»cipalities, industry and ew vilonmental interest groups. in another initiative on the environmental front, Mr. Bradley is proposing formation of an Advisory CDmnuttee on Eumrvomental Standards. The public advisory commit- tee would consult with the public, review scientific informa- tion and provide the Minister with on standards and guidelines for amroomrahtal contaminants. A discussion paper proposes that the committee include representatives from enviraomnental, industrial and con- sumer oo-sumer groups. The Environment Muaistry is seeking public comment on the make-up and role of the proposed domnnit- tee. Copies of the discussion paper are available by calk 3234321 or by writing the Public Information Centre of the Ministry of the Envir onmhent, 135 St. Clair Avenue West, First Floor, Toronto, Ontario M4V 1P5.
