Discuss Amnesty Tuesday One of the most frwWnt- ly asked questions about Amnesty International con- cerns its methods of infor- mation gathering. How does Amnesty obtain ac- curate information about prisoners of conscience and human rights abuses that occur in countries where governments operate under a cloak of secrecy and intimidation? Some of Amnesty's most consistent and valuable sources derive from inter- national relief agencies, such as the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), as a result of their direct contact with prisoners of war. This will be the topic ad- dressed by guest speaker ......... .................... complex returns. The program promises to be a popular one. To avoid disappointment register at the library or phone 286-2576. HELP KEEP RED CROSS READY! Donna Endicott at the next local meeting of Amnesty International. Ms. Endicott is Executive Director of the Toronto Branch of the Canadian Red Cross. Her experience and training enables her to provide an insight into the role of the ICRC in assisting prisoners of war, particularly in third world countries. Ms. Endicott recently visited the earthquake zone in Armenia, accompanied by a CROS relief plane, as part of the Red Cross' ef- forts to assist earthquake victims. She has also recently at- tended seminars in Washington and Ottawa on International Delegates' Training and International Humanitarian Law. Ms. Endicott will speak to members of Amnesty In- ternational, Ajax/Picker- ing group, on Tues. Feb. 28 at 7:30 p.m. in the Annex of Pickering United Church, located on Hwy. 2 in Pickering Village. All members of the public are invited to hear and meet Ms. Endicott, and to learn more about the uni- que work done by Amnesty International. Admission is Iree and refreshments will be served. Page 2 THE NEWS: POST Wed. Feb. 22, 1989 �CJpinion a page for expression for you and us Wh y No t? by Bob 14'atson The current impasse where Metro ambulances are told not to deliver emergency patients to hospitals because they are loaded and can't handle any more suggests that some change in policy and work loads should be arranged. According to some reports people have died in am- bulances when the driver is trying to get a hospital to ac- cept the patient, and as Metro Councillor Howard Moscce says most of the people using up space in emergency wards of the hospitals are not as urgent as most of the odes in ambWances. Perhaps a new approach to this task should be attempted. We all know how stretched hospitals are in caring for pa- tients, and we also know that ambulance drivers can't replace needed medical doctors. So perhaps the answer is to encourage the establishment of medical emergency clinics which would operate from 5 p.m. to 8 a.m. and take emergency cases when hospitals are full. About Quebec near EdiWr: It is my opinion that this issue needs to be examined very carefully by all Canadians. It seems that there has been a mass hysteria created in the Province d Quebec regarding the fear of the loss of the French culture! Have rat the Jewish people kept their culture with dedication over the years? They have not done this at the expense or disregard d the average citizen no matter where they lived. The French authorities in Quebec are denying the average citizen the chance to learn English. the basic universal language. In the meantime, the official elitehere send their children to the best private schools where they will become articulate in speaking English. As well, it is unfortunate for the many immigrants who will be forced to live in Quebec under the present immigra- tion laws and forced to koro French as a second language being given no choice in the matter. Ls this a sample of where our society is heading if we allow any more French nationalist authority to prevail? Whether the rights d peopk are collective err individual in a society, it seems that fear is rnerpowering wisdom in the dficial seat d Quebec where the French culture is con- cerned. It is hoped by many that wisdom will be the major key to solving ola French and English problems in our society with the utawst respect and concern for the whole. For in- formation regarding this matter contact Boz 100, Barrie, Ontario. IAM 4Y5 or ?06.728-8796. Sincerely. Vona R. Mallory Barrie. Ont To Supreme Court Dear Sir: A recent ruling by the Ontario Court d Appeal means that a landmark challenge by Men• Lavigne to the use of torsed ucrim dues for politicking is likely headed for the Supreme Court o[ Canada. Lavigne objects to being compelled through forced union dues to support political causes, such as the NDP, that he opposes- In 1985 Lavigne challenged the constitutionality d this practice in the Supreme Court d Ontario and a year later it ruled in his favour. On Jan. 31, however, the Ontario Court d Appeal overturned that ruling. The Appeal Court said, in effect, that unions were free to use forced dues to support any cause no matter how ex- treme. It also said that forcing a worker to pay dues to a union wasn't forcing him to associate with it. The Financial Post newspaper, in a Feb. 6 editorial, said that these "contortions d reasoning ..leave one winded". A Feb. 2 Toronto Sun editorial said that forced dues shouldn't "be used to fund any little cause or political game the union brass want to play". The Globe and Mail also sup ported La�igne's position in a kad editorial. Mery Ia�igne is not a quitter and he has vowed to take the case to the Supreme Court of Canada. For the sake of the fundamental rights and freedoms of all Canadian workers forced to pay dues, we hope that Mery Larigne's courageous cause prevails. Sincerely, David Somerville, President.

He found a vacant store located just one street away from his existing outlet, where the rent would be 30% less. So when his lease expired, the owner -manager lost no time in setting up his new shop, only to experience the shock of his life. Sales plummeted by 40%. The new store, just one block away from the old location, nevertheless was too out of the way. There simply was not the same flow of shop- pers passing by. As this unlucky Oakville merchant discovered, give short shift in your planning to location, and you're courting disaster. "The three most important fac- tors in determining the suc- cess or failure of a small business are - location. location, location," remarks Geoffrey Hale, a former executive with the Canadian Organization of Small Business and now a consultant to small business with the Ontario Ministry of Industry, Trade and Technology. "Your location is absolutely critical not just in retailing, but also for service in- dustries." Generally speaking, a shopkeeper should seek a location appropriate for his or her type of business, one with reasonable rent, good visibility, high consumer traffic, and ample access to parking. The nature of your business or service goes a long way in deter- mining precisely where you should locate. U you're running a dis- count retail operation, the place to be is in the area of other discount retailers," explains Hale. "You don't want to be opposite a store like Creeds. By the same token, if you're a top -end retailer, you don't want to be located in a plaza that has seen better days." These days, it's probably better to be situated on main street than in certain Metro Board Of Trade Policy Submissions Better Access to Toronto Island Airport Submitted to: David Crom- bie. Commissioner of The Royal Commission on the Future of Totroute's Water- frotot. By: Transportation Committee. Date: December 14, 1988. Former Toronto Mayor David Crombie is beading a Royal Commission established by the federal government to examine the Future of Toronto's Water- front. One of the fust items of business will be a full in- vestigation of the Toronto Island Airport. Toronto Island Airport is one of Canada's major business airports that con- nects Toronto's downtown with a number of Canadian and U.S. cities. The airport should be retained and its operations improved. To do this, the board favours the construction of a tunnel to provide direct access for shuttle buses and service vehicles. Extend GO Service to Pearson Airport Submitted to: The Hon. Ed Fulton, MPP Ontario Minister of Transportation. Copies to: Premier David Peterson: Gardner Cburch, Deputy Minister for the Greater Toronto Area; and Chern Heed, Pearson Airport General Manager. BY: Transporta- tion Committee. Date: December 14, 1988. In the letter, the board points out the need for much improved transit to the airport. Many of the world's major airports are connected to cities by fast, efficient rail service. The board urges the province to extend GO Rail on an available rail spur into the airport to connect with a future inter -terminal tran- sit system. This represents a practical, low cost addi- tional transit service to the airport separate from the congested Metro road system. Board seeks Better Road and GO Service Submitted to: John Bower, Commissioner of Planning for Metropolitan Toronto. Copies to: The Chairman and Members of Metro Council. By: Tramporta- tion Committee. Date: December 14. 1988. Congestion in downtown Toronto is serious and becoming worse. Therefore, as Metro ad- dresses transportation directions for the next five years, the board stresses that the official plan review give equal consideration to road and transit im- provements. Extended rush hour periods and the associated parking prohibi- tions must be observed and enforced. Service sector jobs are increasing, and since these jobs imply a greater reliance on vehicles. more capital must be spent on roads. GO Transit carries a significant portion of the commuting population and continued expansion is necessary and should not be limited as suggested in Metro's review. Tort Reform and Auto In- surance Submitted to : The Hon. Ian Scott, MPP, Attorney General for Ontario. Copy to: The Hoa. Murray Elston. MPP, Ontario Minister of Financial In- stitutions. By: Insurance Committee. Date: December 14, 1988. In recognition of the con- tinuing concern in Ontario with the cost of automobile insurance, the board recommends a number of measures of tort reform which, if implemented, would give relief in this area. Included in the measures are the following recommendations: that amendments be made to the Courts of Justice Act to permit mandatory struc- tured settlements; that pre -judgement interest run from the date of occur- rence, provided the plain- tiff's medical records are made available to the defendant as soon as possi- ble; and that legislative reform is needed in the area of collateral benefits to eliminate double com- pensation to the injured party. PLEASE DON'T DRINK & DRIVE prestigious shopping malls. The "common area" or supplementary costs in some malls (The Eaton Centre, for instance) can actually be more than the base rent, according to John Gillespie, President & CEO of Goliger's Travel Agencies of Toronto. Gillespie, who previously headed the Pizza Pizza fast-food franchise, main- tains that, "site selection for small businesses is everything." He would per- sonally inspect and ap- prove all real estate tran- sactions for Pizza Pizza to ensure that the outlets met the company's exacting re- quirements. "For the most part, small business owners don't spend suffi- cient time in picking the right spot. You have to make sure there's enough parking and that the loca- tion is convenient for the customer," says Gillespie. Regardless of your business, there is one car- dinal rule to follow. If you pay more than 10% of your gross revenue on rent, you're probably paying too much on rent to attain the profits you want. Wed.

"This announcement represents the culmination of a year of joint planning by General Tire and the provincial government. Ontario's assistance will total 114 million towards this two phase moderniza- tion," said Mr. Kwinter. Premier Peterson joined General Tire officials at the ceremonies in Barrie marking the expansion an- nouncement. Employment at the plant will increase from 900 to LOW in the early 1990s, and boost total production to approximately 19,000 tires per day over the same period. Ontario's allocations wil] be comprised of an $115 million repayable loan plus a forgivable loan of $2.5 million towards training costs. This investment is part of an overall strategy of the Ontario government to help the Ontario tire industry capitalize on its growth potential. Last May, Goodyear Tire received a $32 million loan toward the construction of a $320 million radial passenger tire facility in Napanee. Hotel.

Feb. 22, IM Bill Watt's Worlds ON YOUR TOES: The National Ballet was star crossed with its second presentation of the current engagement at The O'Keefe. What, after all, could possibly follow the emotional highs of Veronica Tenant's final performances with the company? A premiere performance of Glen Tetley's Daphnis and Chloe probably seemed like a good idea. However, it's not long enough to fill an entire evening and too long to be part of a pro- gram of three short works. It goes without saying that it could not be an opening work; premieres must always be at the end of an evening in order to linger in the mind and emotions of the audience. So the choice to open was George Balan- chine's The Four Temperaments. It is an exquisite work but cold. There is little emotionalism in it. While it follows a thin pretense of il- luminating aspects of the human character, it re- mains a work of disciplined movements unrelieved by any sign of emotion . . rather like an English tango as opposed to the Latin-American. The National's produc- tion seemed like little more than a rehearsal for an Agnes DeMille work. (On reflection, Miss DeMille's Oklahoma! Must upon the scene in 1943; The Four Temperaments was first performed in 1946. Who in- fluenced whom?) The usually dynamic Kevin Pugh seemed to be holding back. That's perhaps understandable; another injury could shorten his career. Still, one must confess disap- HENNESSE Y'S RESTAURANT LUNCHEONS Served daily from 11 X30 a m Soup *Salad Bar Soup 'n Sandwich e Garlic Bread with Fries 4 AND A WHOLE LOT MORE DINNERS Dinner specials served fnorn 4 p.m. MON-THURS - Boneless, Skinless Breast of Chicken Parmesan with Soup.

Kim Lightheart was partnered with Raymond Smith. She was radiant but he was curiously bloodless, as if drained after his pyrotechnics with Veronica Tennant. John Alleyne brought the work to life and the au- dience back to alertness with the dynamism of his grace and Gizella Witkowsky kept the emo- tions rolling with her solo in the Fourth Variation; Choleric. Even so, we found ourself longing for the splendid savagery of Linda Maybarduk. Gary Arbour's piano work was excellent as always and Conductor Michael Barrett did the best he could with the ridiculous and cacophonic score of Paul Hindemith. And The National did its excellent best with The Four Temperaments. On another occasion it will likely work. It simply didn't this tithe around. The evening was trium- phantly carried by Glen Tetley's Daphnis and Chloe. It is a lyrical work to the music of Ravel and the design of Willa Kim. Brief- ly and for those who might be unaware, it is the classic story of young love over- coming the restraint of im- maturity to realize the true meaning of love. It's not Coming of Age In Samoa but rather an awakening to the delights of the senses as given to us by The Creator. $1099 seminars will be Wayne 9 PIECES OF FRIED CHICKEN Izumi, Gord Pyzer, Rocky camp at the Metro East Famly size fresh cut tries Trade Centre in Pickering all experts in their own Family size homemade salad b gravy $1 Canada's largest fishing 15 PIECES OF FRIED CHICKEN show features more than 620 Family size fresh c%A hies Trade, Walleye Patterns, Family size homemade salad b gravy $18Family 9 9 20 PIECES OF FRIED CHICKEN motors, fly -in camps and and Attention to Detail.

Why not? they are a beautiful couple. Mr. Harrington indeed, is almost too good looking and his early dances with Miss Glassco have rather too much of the ethereal about them. She seems eager, he seems not so much hesitant as unwilling. Mind you, that's acting and has nothing to do with the superb technique of their dancing. As Pan, Kevin Pugh lack- ed the devilment that the role demands but again, he might be dancing cautious- ly. Daphnis and Chloe and ultimately the evening belonged however to John Alleyne and Karen Kain as Dorkon and Lykanion who teach the young lovers the delights of carnality. Mr. Alleyne's virility is never in doubt and Miss Kain's sexuality is astoun- ding. We had seen hints of it in her Black Princess dancing but never anything as electrifying as her Lyka- mon. When the two dance the atmosphere becomes almost steamy. So high is the emotionalism that one almost overlooks the intricacies of the foot- work. Enchanting work too by Jennifer Fournier, Domini- que Dumais and Ronda Nychka as goddesses. A kudo as well to Pierre Quinn as a faun. Daphnis and Chloe is an important new addition to the National's repertoire and one looks forward to seeing it many times. One's fust viewing is such an overwhelming emotional experience that many viewings are necessary to appreciate all that there is to admire in it. Well done Mr. Tetley and well done National. ON RECORD: Three local musicians are presented here for con- sideration. The accompa- nying material, presumably to assist auditors like us, states that Mary Margaret O'Hara doesn't fit neatly into any pop music category. That's true enough but one could just as easily claim that she is uneven. That's our assessment after listening to her solo album. Miss America (Virgin Records) features Miss O'Hara singing her own songs to her own ar- rangements and tinder her own production helm. She has a lovely sweet voice and can seemingly do anything with it. Anything, however, should not be con- fused with everything which is what she attempts on the album. Listening from beginning to end one ends up not so much amus- ed as vaguely annoyed. On the fust cut, To Cry About, she sounds not unlike Billie Holliday and one feels that she could sw- ing some violets. But, Year in Song and Body's in Trou- ble which follow are little but screeching freneticism. Then, there's Dear Darl- ing where she could be Emmy -Lou Harris. On A New Day she is joyous and almost evokes memories of western sw- ing. Then follows My Friends Have which is little more than musical hysteria. So it Sharon, Lois & Bram Happy Birthday Tour Sharon, Lois & Bram, North America's favourite family entertainers, are visiting Toronto on Sat. Mar. 4th as part of their tenth anniversary festivities.

Compliments to Hugh Marsh. One recommends Miss America - the title inciden- tally is pointless - as a listening experience and an opportunity to be in at the birth of what should be a major pop music figure. One also suggests that although the quality of Miss O'Hara's singing voice is beyond question, her use of it should be bet- ter channelled. Confused? Well, you will be when you listen to this album as we recommend that you do. But, you could also be exhilarated and maybe even exalted. We accepted an invita- tion to the RPM Club celebrating the release of Carole Pope's new video I'm Not Blind and her 12" single Nothing But A Hear- tache. RPM is a club patronized by the demi-monde - that's better than calling at a waterfront dive - and it was filled upon our arrival. The buffet was lavish if esoteric. There were hog jowls and champagne; oysters and beer and it was all delicious.

Although quiet in the sense of being away from the hustle and bustle of city life, the southeast certainly has no shortage of attrac- tions and activities for visitors in the area. Heading east from Charlottetown along the Kings Byway Scenic Drive, you can step into the past momentarily by visiting the late -19th -century restored rural crossroads community at Orwell Cor- ner. Farther east, at Point Prim, you can climb to the top of the island's oldest lighthouse, still in use to- day, and view the magnificence of the island's southern coast . . lush green farmland etched by the warm waters of the Northumberland Strait. A most interesting activi- ty indeed can be found at the Holy Trinity Church in Georgetown. Here you can make your own brass rubb- ings from facsimiles of brasses from English coun- try churches. cher. For the nature buff, Grandview Aviaries is an interesting stop especially for families with children. Kids and adults alike will be enchanted by the exotic species of birds such as peacocks and rheas, as well as the collection of friendly farm animals that love to be petted. At the Buffaldard Pro- vincial Park, non-native buffalo and deer graze con- tentedly. And at the nearby Harvey Moore Wildlife Mangement Area, bird watchers will discover a sanctuary for migrating wildfowl and ponds for but fishing. There are also several other popular fishing holes in the area; just ask the friendly residents! And for the impatient or amateur fisherman, a guaranteed bite everytime awaits at Ben's Lake in Bellevue, a private lake stocked with rainbow trout. For a touch of the exotic, join Captain Gary Herring of Murray River on a cruise that will take you past frolicking seals and colonies of cor- morants, blue herons, sea gulls, arctic tern and if you ,VVLXVV1. 1;111K For all your trawl i - I - "We'll show you what Travel Service really means" 2848300 MORNINGSIDE MALL The mall entrance beside Woolco, Upper Level OPEN 9-30 a m. - 0:90 p.m. Mon. - Fri. 10 a.m. • 5 p.m. Saturday* are in luck, even the occa- sional bald eagle.

Several accomplished pot- tery studios are located along the south shote. In Gaspereaux you will find a studio specializing in im- aginative wood crafts and in Valleyfield, a unique studio that crafts sheepskin and wool -felt produced from home grown sheep. In Murray River, con- genial toymaker Al Shumate, the jolly elf himself, will charm the kids with a tour of his Toy Factory. Murray River is in fact, a quaint little com- munity that has become a craft village. Many other craft shops dot the area; one of par- ticular interest is the old Cardigan Railway station that now hooses a co-op craft centre featuring a variety of professional quality crafts. Several restaurants, ranging from distinctive to the ordinary, are available in the area as are the island's popular lobster suppers. Or make your own pcmc at Fantasyland Pro- vincial Park, while the kids play among statues of their favourite storybook characters.

Stop Housing Study by Gay Abbate Scarborough Council has ordered a temporary stop to its $117,000 housing study which is supposed to be looking at how to increase the number of residential units in existing neighbourhoods. Councillors expressed concern about the direction of the study after a presen- tation by the consultant a few weeks ago. The study is being done by the firm of Berridge Lewinberg Greenberg - Councillor John War- drope told council last week that the consultant is "selling one particular con- cept instead of debating the pros and cons of various op- tions.' Councillor Doug :Mahood said the consultant is "art of control" and should be stopped until after a Hong Kong — A Celebration for all Seasons Children parede down the street, w Cheung gg Chau Island to celebrate another annual tradition, the Bun Festival One of Hong Kong's most colourful festivals, it is held to appease the spino of islanders murdered by pirates or killed by a plague. Winter, spring, summer or fall — Hong Kong is a cele- bration for all seasons And more and more visitors from around the world, includ- ing Canada, are discovering this destination without an off- season. In fact, in 1988 Hong Kong hotels enjoyed an aver- age 92 per cent occupancy, with the occupancy rate no lower than 80 per cent for any one month. Tradition always in season Although everyday is a rea- son to celebrate in gong Kong with the variety of things to see and do — shopping for de- signer buys, dining in inter- national. restaurants, enjoying the visitor attractions of old and new Hong Kong and viewing world-class sporting competitions — each month Hong Kong shows its true traditional colours with a ser- ies of Chinese celebrations At no time does this eom- pact territory of the rural New Territories combined with futuristic skyscrapers in the central business district come more alive with the sights and sounds of its ancient Chinese heritage. Each year, the celebrations begin with the most important festival in the lunar calendar — the Lunar New Year. Governed by the lunar calen- dar consisting of 12 moons, New Year Hong Kong -style does not fall until sonic time in February. This year, Hong Kong heralds the axniq of the Year of the Snake — sixth in a twelve-year cycle of years represented by animals — with 15 days of festivities. For the people of Hong Kong, the New Year is a time to pay off debts. visit friends and bu}' new clothes The homes of Hong Kong ate filled with peach blossoms and the street, with giant illuminated decorations The celebrations draw to a cine with the Yuen Siu or Lantern Festival. Once again, Hong Kong celebrates with traditional Chinese music, dragon dances, classical Opera and lantern displays Seaside CdeDrstions Spring is welcomed to Hong Kong by celebrating the birth- day of Tin Hau — the Goddess of the Sea. Fisherfolk decorate their boats in a colourful dis- play and converge on seaside temples to ask for good catches in the coming year. Summer is the time that everyone in Hong Kong take, to the water, so it's no surprise that the water is alw the focus of another important celebra- tion — the Dragon Boat Festi- val. Held to commemorate the death of statesman -poet, Ch'u Yuen, the festival is highlighted by international dragon boat races in Hong Kong harbour featuring teams from all around the world. Then in the autumn, the people of Hong Kong cele- brate the harvest with the Mid - Autumn or Moon Cake Fes- tival. During this festival, parks become candlelit fairy - meeting with council.

When everyone uses a lot of electricity at the same time, energy peaks occur. We know when they're going to happen... sometime between 5pm and 7pm on winter weekdays. That's when stores, offices and factories are open... street lights come on ... cooler weather and fewer daylight hours mean lights and furnaces are on longer...families are indoors using more electricity. Add all that to the usual supper time need for hydro and the peaks grow dramatically. By controlling these peaks, North York Hydro's bill for the power we buy from Ontario Hydro is greatly reduced ... and lower costs to us mean better rates to you. Of course, you can't turn everything off between 5 and 7 each weekday evening... but by pulling together. there are easy ways to help reduce the peaks: • load the dishwasher but wait until after 7pm to push the button • turn on the TV only when you're ready to watch it • switch off the lights in empty rooms • use the clothes washer, dryer and other big appliances at other times of the day or on weekends • whenever possible.

Serving the Community Since 1950 Metro Toronto Council News Emergencies And Hospitals Metro Councillor Howard Moscoe presented a taped radio interview with am- bulance and hospital per- sonel about the crisis at emergency hospital facilities on Feb. 14th to the Community Services & Housing Committee. He said that hospitals can't get their act together and feels ambulance ser- vice must stop playing the hospital game. Moscoe said that patients have died and more will die as a result of the "am- bulance roulette" game be- ing played by Metro hospitals. When am- bulances have an emergen- cy case they get sent from one hospital to another because the hospitals say their emergency division is full. An official said that hospitals are trying to cor- rect the situation and am- bulance drivers have decided to ignore the one code which sends them to another hospital when one is busy. Moscoe feels that the vast majority of emergen- cy patients at hospitals are not in life threatening situations and feels pro- cedures can be developd to handle ambulance emergency situations. The matter will be dealt with again by the commit- tee in two weeks. Will Build Music Bldg After a three and a half hour debate, Metro Council decided on Feb. 15th to rebuild the burned down music building at the CNE, providing the Price tag doesn't go over S2.3 million. 'ibis would include private funds raised by citizens in the amnouunt of $1.9 million. Mayor Joyce Trimmer said it is ptazling how the dome stadium could get .lots of hype.. but the music building doesn't get so much. Represents Metro Metro Councillor Bev Salmon has been appointed to represent Metro Toronto on the National Action Committee an Race Rela- tions of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities. Replacement Metro Council has replaced Bryn Lloyd on the ty is to lease for 80 years 11 acres of land immediately north of L' Amoreaux Park for portables for Mary Ward Secondary School. The board, in turn, will spend $3.4 million to pro- vide a community centre, playing field facilities (softball diamond, soccer pitch, football field, runn- ing track and stadium) and parking spaces for 650 cars. The recreational facilities are to be shared by the chool and the city. Council has agreed to in- stall traffic lights at the Victoria Park Ave. and Holswade Rd./Sunrise Ave. intersection. Residents in the area have complained about the number of accidents. Dur- ing the past three years there have been 21 ac- cidents at the intersection which could have been prevented if there had been lights. Traffic lights are also go- ing up at Steeles Ave. and Ashcott St./ Fenton Rd. and at the Victoria Park Ave. and Arncliffe Cr. intersec- tion. Metro Toronto and Region Conservation Authority with John A. McGinnis. The move was necessary because Mr. Lloyd had completed six years which is the maximum member- ship allowed. Waterfront Causeway Abel Van Wyk, who was a candidate for mayor in Scarborough in the last election, brought to the Economic Development and Planning Committee of Metro his plan for a causeway to be built along the lake to connect Etobicoke with Pickering. Mr. Van Wyk feels that this would reduce traffic on the 401 by 50%, eliminate the need for the Scar- borough Expressway and bring profits to Metro Toronto. He added that Metro is losing $1 billion due to traf- fic congestion. The idea was sent to the Gardiner Expressway committee for a report. More Taxis or Not' Metro's Legislation & Licensing Committee heard delegates argue about the idea of increasing the number of taxis in Metro Toronto by 200 on Feb. 13th. A Mr. Brown brought statistics to show that most cab riders were satisfied with the service but also said that for every 10 peo- ple now entering the city some 6 are leaving by cab. Bob Hollow said taxi plates price shouldn't be in- creased and argued against having more taxis. David Norman, speaking as a representative of in- dividual taxi owners, said more plates should be issued. He said that some customers are dissatisfied but he gives good service and even Bell Telephone service people use taxis in downtown work using chits. He added that business was good in the taxi industry. Delegate Rotenberg said be feels that there are 500 too many taxis. He sug- gested that a special licence be issued for handl- ing wheelchairs in answer to Councillor Anne Johnston's query about whether the handicapped can get a taxi. Council has approved a 1334.3 sq. metre (14,363 sq. ft.) expansion to Woodside Square Shopping Centre at Finch Ave. E. and Mc- Cowan Rd. This will bring the total floor area of the mall to 25,967.1 sq. metres (279,517 sq. ft.). The one - store expansion will be located adjacent to Mc- Cowan Rd. midway bet- ween Finch Ave. and San- dhurst Circle. It will in- clude renovations to the food court area. Scarborough Council has told a developer he has to build a $125,000 low flow pump station which he claims is not needed. Joe Lebovic agreed to build the station in order to get per- mission to construct the Barchester Subdivision on Ellesmere Rd. at Morrish Rd. He says the construction did not affect the water flow into the Centennial watercourse downstream, and the money could be better used donated to local hospitals. But the city said it has a legal right to pro- tect the water rights of homeowners downstream. Wed.

For modern women, this season's fashion choices couldn't be more appealing and tailor- made for the romantic at heart. Keeping in order with the pouf and pomp shown by most designers, "the latest bridal wear marks a return to the feminine form" says Suzanne Gould, Fashion Editor at Modern Bride. "Bridal gowns are romantic in spirit with new, modern styling that's both feminine and sexy. The best looks combine the charm and coquettishness of movie star Audrey Hepburn with simple, striking details. Reveal- ing strapless gowns and bare off- the-shoWdeer dresses with layers of petticoats are the trend, pro- viding the perfect showcase for a dazzling piece of gold jewellery..' "Accordingly, this year's news in jewellery is real gold with a nostalgic flavor," says Ms. Gould. Each piece draws upon the romance of a bygone era with Wedding packages from $250.00 Book now and get a free 8" x 10" portrait 2465 Kingston Road Unit 27, Block H (CIIHside Plaza) Whiteshield Plaza Scarborough, Ont. 2300 Lawrence Ave. E MIN 1V4 Scarborough, Ont. 261.6838 757-9970 rur r our D[jec:►ai uay a demure and girlish flavor. For the bride-to-be there is an assort- ment of pretty golden hearts and bows, all designed with a delicate touch to complement her allover wedding day glow. To decorate the ears, there are fly -away ribbons or the classic pleated bow tie adding graceful femininity to a ruffled neckline. For the sophisticate, a sweep of polished gold hearts that climbs the ear or a single bold gold heart accented with a dangling pearl makes a soft yet elegant fashion statement. To adorn the wrists and neck, there are even more enticing jewellery choices. Perhaps an open heart pendant worn dangl- ing from an intricately styled chain or a string of gold hearts to embellish a plunging neckline is jest right. For women who are celebrating a second marriage. the choice of attire is less trad!- tional. In this case, there is an assortment of pins that are glamorous enough for the wed- ding day. Long a favorite among romantics is the candy box bow or stylized deco heart enhanced by an accent of amethyst or pink tourmaline. A gold pin can add dash to the lapel of a classic wed- ding suit or dazzle a high neck lace' collar. For a bride who wants to revel in the fantasy and romance of her wedding day, this season's wed- ding fashions are a dream come true.

Queen's Report hon Noah Stoner MPP Durham Westall qW Important legislation which protects farmers from nuisance lawsuits over noise, odour and dust was one of five agricultural bills to recently receive final approval in the Ontario Legislature. Under the Farm Practices protection Act a board will be established to hear complaints by individuals about odour, noise or dust from farm practices. "I can not stress enough haw important the act is. It is a balanced law that establishes the freedom our farmers need to carry on a basic and essential work - food produc- tion. This traditional right to carry on proper and accepted farm practices is being challenged increasingly by rural residents who complain about neighbouring farming opera- tions,' said Agriculture Minister Jack Riddell. It is important to note that this so called "right -to -farm" legislation does not give farmers the right to pollute. An underlying principle of the Act is the requirement that farm practices continue to comply with other provincial legisla- tion such as the Environment Protection Act and the Pesticides AM. Mother key piece of legislation receiving Royal Assent was the Farm Implement Act, which gives farmers signifi- cant new rights, such as the provision of emergency repair parts, standardized sales contracts, and minimum warran- ties. The Act, which some would call a Leman law, also pro- vides for repair or replacement of a new farm implement which fails to perform during its first 100 days or 100 hours of actual use. It also provides for a formal process to resolve problems encountered in the sale, service, maintenance, safety and warranty of farm implements. Both pieces of legislation were developed after extensive consultation with all those groups that are affected by the provisions of the new laws. These two bills, Wang with the Agriculture and Hor- ticultural Organizations Act and amendments to the Grain Elevator Storage AM and the Farm Products Containers Act, are major steps forward for farriers in Ontario. Copies of the new agricultural Bills can be obtained by calling my constituency office at 683.6707. NORAH'S NOTES: Students at Dunbarton High School in Pickering who are active in the prevention of impaired driving have been awarded a $1.000 grant under the Ministry of the Attorney General's "Arrive Alive" program. The program was established in 1988 as a key component of the Ministry's Prevention strategy against impaired driving. The Ministry of Transportation has expanded service at selected driver examination centres. The move, which in- chades Saturday testing, is in response to the large increase in the number of road tests requested by members of the public. The driver examination centres on Thornton Road South in Oshawa and at 773 Warden Avenue in Scarborough are amonig those now open on Saturdays.

Can you tell me anything about an old quarter I found in my grandmother's jewelry case? It has a design of cupids and hearts on the back. M.S. A. The item you describe sounds like an early type of novel- ty coin which was extremely popular in the 1880's and 1890's. Antique jewelry collectors and coin dealers call them "love tokens". Commercial jewelers made love tokens by taking a silver coin, such as a dime or quarter, and removing the design from the reverse side. A new design was then engraved using hearts, cupids, or cherubs coupled with initials and sometimes a presentation inscrip- tion. After completion of the artwork the coins were fixed with a loop or a hole was punched near the top so they could be strung on a chain and worn as a pendant which a young man would present to his lady love as a token of his affec- tion. There was a nationwide craze for love tokens beginning around 1880. Commercial jewelers kept scraped coins on hand so they could fill a customer's order while he waited. Each love token is an original as far as the engraving is con- cerned and, in most cases, is worth more today than the coin would be worth if it had been left unaltered.
