More News On Back Page Page S THE NEWS POST Wed. Nov. 29, 1989 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Stop The 9% GST by Bob Watson This week the House of Commons at Ottawa begins debate on the resolution to establish a Goods and Service Tax on almost everything in Canada. The Progressive Con- servative government appears to be ignoring the construc- tive advice coming from almost every sector of the economy to change its mind and find another way to in- crease federal income. This GST, in our opinion and many others. will kill the economy of Canada, will increase radically the number of civil servants needed at Ottawa and not help our economy whatsoever. However. the Minister of Finance Michael Wilson won't listen to anvone and our dear Prime Minister Brian Mulroney is not thinking about Canada these days as he waltzes around the world like a big traveller. If Canadians want to lose their freedom of speech this tax will do it. When this country started we followed the tradi- tion of Great Britain and established freedom of the press. This freedom entails keeping the government's hands off the newspapers. magazines and books wfiere opinions are being written. So it is a tradition in this country that these media are not taxed by the federal sales tax nor the provin- cial sales tax. However, despite questions from this newspaper to Michael Wilson. this government is going to violate Canada's long established freedom of the press and tax us. That means we must provide personnel to collect the 9% on each 30 cents newspaper. each advertisement and any other sales. This could be the nail that eliminates many small newspapers - other than the 28 owned by the Toronto Star around Metro Toronto - because most operate on a very small profit margin. When the European Common Market countries. including Britain, put this same tax into operation they specifically exempted newspapers. magazines and books from it to maintain that freedom which people in Czechoslovakia. Poland and East Germany last many years ago. Canada is a lovely land, full of opportunity and usually administered by a government which listens to the people. The PC government at Ottawa is not listening and should be put out of office immediately. Unfortunately, we Canadians do not have the mechanism to do so. What we need is a vote on this issue and any other issues of importance to us all. Freedom is a very delicate thing and we believe that Mulroney's government is walking all over it with this 9% GST. Write your MP and complain - they might listen to thousands of you writing and save us all the frustration of a recession in 1992. ....:.11:5 ........................................•.'.:... ..

Smarten Up PM Dear Editor Is the Meech Lake Accord cast in stone of is it just respect for Mr. Bourassa's concerns that makes the accord so im- pervious' Mr. Mulroney is so desperately promoting the ac- cord in its present formas though the concerns of the rest of Canadians did not matter. This is simply hard to unders- tand. Mr. Mulroney admits some changes to the accord could be made only after the accord is passed. Why not do it right the first time' To justify shortcomings in the present accord Mr. Mulroney unhesitatingly becomes critical of Mr. Trudeau's Charter of Rights that included the Notwithstanding Clause. Mr. Mulroney's criticism is that he would never have agreed to a clause that is now causing him and Canada no end of trouble. Instead of using Mr. Trudeau's errors as a lesson not to be repeated Mr. Mulroney is now using con- tractual inadequacies to perpetuate his own indiscretions with regard to the Meech Lake Accord. If our Canadian premiers were to agree to the undefined version of the "Distinct Society.. clause and other possible indiscretions of this accord we may have the tendency to expect that Mr. Bourassa himself would not abuse the spirit and the meanings of the accord. However, we know that some day Mr. Bourassa will have as yet an unknown suc- cessor. Since we now know that Mr. Bourassa has already used the "Notwithstanding Clause" combined with his pre- sent resent dogmatic stand• this double whammy of the distinct society gives Mr. Bourassa a formidable wall from which to build not a Canadian Federation but a Quebec Federation. Who knows at some future date Newfoundland Premier Wells could become the Prime Minister of Canada.

She is also the authoress of Relief from Migraine ( Harper dr Collins Paperback). The book, first published in 1981 and updated in 1989, might well be sub titled Almost Everything There Is To Know About Migraine For Now. Research on migraine is a continuing endeavour and accordingly one must realize that up- dates are necessary. Even so, sufferers from Migraine will find much help and aid in this easily read work. Perhaps the most helpful chapter is the one detailing the foods that seem most likely to engender an at- tack of migraine. Eschew- ing them is a small price to pay for the avoidance of this most dreadful kind of pain. Clearly one should always consult a doctor for pain -and hope he is suffi- ciently current on the sub- ject of migraine -but having this valuable volume to hand might well prevent such pain. An excellent book by a charming lady we are privileged to know per- sonally. Here follow several volumes that can be con- sidered -self help books. Space will permit little more than passing com- ments on each but their in - elusion here can be con- sidered our recommenda- tion, qualified or otherwise. The Essential Asthma Book (Ivy). Straight for- ward, no nonsense ap- proach to a disability suf- fered by many. Written by Doctors Francois and Sheila Sperber. D.C. Jarvis. M.D. is the author of Arthritis and Folk Medicine. Many might argue that there is no humour in arthritis but it seems to us that what ever levity is possible about any sad subject is not without merit. Mastering Pain by Dr. Richard A. Sternbach (Ballantine) is probably worth one's custom. Anything or any practice that can reduce pain without masking symp- toms is certainly worth considering. How to Prevent Your Next Heart Attack by John K. Vyden, M.D. has a chill- ing title but unfortunately a large potential readership_ It's published by Fawcett Crest. Ann Kaiser Stearns is the authoress of Coming Back'Rebuilding Lives after Crisis and Loss ( Ballantine) . Though well intended and inspirati,xial in its way, it cannot replace the power of pure prayer. Nothing can. Coming Bach to Life by P.M.H. Atwater (Ballan- tine) is a dissertation on the after effects of the near -death experience. Around and About Your Dining &Entertainment Guide Good enough one supposes but one wearies of the sub- ject. After all, near -death experiences have yet to be disproved as anything other than hallucinatory. The Power of Ethical Management (Fawcett/Crest) is in- teresting because of the two authors. Kenneth Blan- chard and Norman Vincent Peale. Surely Dr. Peale cannot be unaware that the greatest of ethical lessons is the Golden Rule. To be fair, however, it's one thing to know it, quite another for most business people to practise. Drug Abuse and Your Family by Norman Pan- zica (Toronto Sun Publishing) effectively deals with preventing. detecting and coping. It's sad though that such a book should be necessary. Although admittedly primitive, we dealt with suspected pushers by let- ting it be known that we would kill -and we meant it - anyone who even ap- proached any of our children. would it work to- day? Who knows? Good Grid, Good Gram- mar by Dianna Booker (Fawcet, Crest) is describ- ed as the Business Person's Guide to Grammar and Usage. Why good grammar shouldn't be important to everyone escapes us. Our puckish sense of humour moreover, can't resist the temptation to point out that Ms. Booher is also the authoress of, among other books, Love, The Last Caress, Rape and Coping. That's almost like Dorothy Parker's celebrated comment about running the gamut from A. to B. All of the books mention- ed are in paperback and modestly priced so that even if one doesn't find that which is sought, at the very least, little has been lost. And, if Ms. Booher st,ould read this, we hope she realizes we have meant no offence. IN CONCERT: The first annual North York Symphony Gala is to be held on Sat. Dec. 9th at Roy Thomson Hall. One im- agines that Mel Lastman must be grinding his teeth over the fact that there is as yet no such suitable location in North York. Featured will be the full 72 piece North York Sym- phony Orchestra under the direction of Kerry Stratton. Mr. Stratton will be familiar to many listeners of CFMX: he's the one who doesn't sound like the ridiculous Robert, or whoever, Campeau. Highlights will include the overture from La Forza del Destino and a portion from Dvorak's Symphony No. s. In the second half of the program, the orchestra will be joined by the gorgeous Marie-Andree Ostiguy who will perform her Montreal Concert and Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue. Cost of tickets is moderate; for an addi- tional $25 there is a black tie champagne and dessert reception in the foyer. No, we will not play Chopsticks on demand. ON T.V. : One supposes there are some unfortunates who have not ever seen Veronica Tennant who has now completed her career of 25 years with the Na- tional Ballet. Well, now there is the op- portunity for everyone to see this fascinating lady though not necessarily dan- cing. Miss Tennant is the hostess of Sunday Arts Entertainment which makes its debut this Sun- day on CBC TV. The program will feature music, dance, documen- Lottery profits help hospitals.

Every so often, however, an event comes along that warrants men- tion. The International Christmas Fair and Market Place to be held at the International Centre Dec. 8th through the loth is arguably no better or worse than most such shows of its type except for one thing .. its entrance. For the second year in a row the show will be presenting in the entrance way the International Christmas Tree Collection showcasing holiday tree customs from around the world. It's not for this writer to say how authentic in presentation it is; the most important thing is that it's there. Who knows, perhaps some of the old world charm and customs might start to rub off on frenned North Americans. FAST EXIT: All the worid's work -all that is necessary for the health and comfort and even !array of Mankind - could be performed in three or four hours of each day. There is so much labour just because there is so much money-grubbing. George Gissing, ion. From England, an An- thology ( Collins ). Committee Welcomed Trustees welcomed organizers of the Nov. 17 Professional Development Day. This is the third year that the day has been pian- ned by Durham Board elementary and secondary federations in conjunction with the Professional Development Council of Durham College. Elemen- tary panel representatives Jack Houghton and Sallee Dick outlined the many benefits to be derived from the cooperative effort and explained the elementary teacher survey that was conducted last spring to determine the type of workshops teachers would like to attend. Doris Cherkas of the secondary panel praised the role consultants played in preparing for the day. After giving a brief over- view of the five keynote speakers who will be presenting throughout the day, Doris invited trustees to attend any sessions of in- terest to them. Mary Perkins of Durham College told the board of the enthusiasm for the joint PD Day expressed by Durham College staff. She expressed regret for the unfortunate circumstances which have forced Durham College to withdraw from this year's proceedings and complimented Durham Board teachers for handl- ing the necessary rear- rangement of workshop locations. Close to 3,9oo teachers will take part in the day, the theme of which is "Partners in Learning" 30th Anniversary Production Of "Harvey" 4tC-1REE�Kr��„ : „�,,,,I 1l -.__fl A �. Ya ar• M I�r rte.

Nov. 29, 19f19 tr V Club Med Playa Blanca Was Beautiful Place by Bob Watson Club Med Playa Blanca is different than the previous six Club Med villages that I have enjoyed and it was because of the completely different loca- tion. All Club Med villages are full of action or relaxa- tion, according to your per- sonal demand. Playa Blanca is on the Pacific coast of Mexico away from all civilization in the normal sense. It is a beautiful alcove in the then hills surrounding an area with about 1000 feet of beach. The hills surroun- ding the club buildings house the wonderful living accommodation for the GMs tGentil Membres or Club Med members ) . Stone steps and walkways lead up the hills into the rooms equipped with two large single beds, a cupboard, safe for your valuables and a washroom with toilet and shower. Out the windows you can see through the trees the beach or the coastline. It is an ex- otic location. The trip from Pearson An -port was via Air Canada an a L1011 pocked with peo- pie. but only 20 were going to Club Med Playa Blanca. The four hour journey featured a very nice meal and movie on the screen for all to see. We landed at Puerto Vallartaairport and the receipt of our bag- gage was quite a bit delayed. Club Med officials were on hand to lead us to our bus and look after our bags. The two and one half hours ride through the rug- ged countryside certainly revealed to us that this village was many miles from an urban area. However, our GO (Gentil Orgamsateur - staff of the village) was Julie, who with an assistant, looked after all of otr needs. The main building is Playa Blanca contains the dining facilities, bar, theatre for entertainment, disco, boutique and offices plus a beautiful pool that we nonswimmers could sit in up to the neck and really enjoy! On the first day I got tricked by a GO who was asking people to par- ticipate in a contest. The idea was to put a coin on your forehead and a funnel just under your pants belt. Then you lowered your head and the coin was to go into the funnel. Of course, it was easy! - but on the third attempt with cheers and encouragement from the growing audience a member of the plan came up and dumped a glass full of water down the funnel! For all your travel needs "We'll show you what Travel Service really means" 284.8300 MORNINGSIDE MALL The mail entrance beside Woolco, Upper Level OPEN g30 a.m - 8:30 p.m. Mon -Fri 108.m. - 5 p.m. SWwdar Caught with wet shorts - and the contest only lasted as long as there were peo- ple who hadn't witnessed the sneaky water pouring! Just one of the fun things which go on there with the club comedian, Abe. I went on a midnight cruise in a boat on a night that the full moon was up and we went down the coast and looked at the houses perched on top of the tugg- ed shoreline. A newly wed couple from New York City - Ellen and Richie Monti - joined me to observe the scene and enjoy some refrrshrnents. The weather at this Club Med was hot and humid, but a sea breeze would come every now and then to cool the air. Of course there was aircocditioning in each room and fans in the ceiling of most of the open buildings. On Tuesday I decided to go on the weekly picnic which was a bliss ride down the coast. Flirt games were played with men and women participating together. The one game saw two teams lined up and the idea was the front per- son in each team would rum forward to a GO and drink a drink and then with a finger on the top of a bottle in the sand turn around 10 times. Well, when each per- son did it they found they couldn't walk straight but sort of began to walk towards the ocean! When my turn came I did an ex- tra opposite turn on the bot- tle to correcK that im- balance - but no good - I didn't walk straight back to my tam either! And I hadn't taken the drink but had it dumped down my chest instead - Returning from the pic- nic, Abe had us do the "sun dance" around the pool and this was repeated every evening just before dinner. When unusual rain, lightn- ing and thunder came on our last day, it was sug- gested that not enough peo- ple participated in the sun dance! One evening, instead of the usual main dining area, I joined Olga and Marcel Caron of Louiseville, Quebec at one of the two restaurants down by the beach. It was just a little different and very en- joyable. A couple in their late seventies was at the Club Med village. Hazel and Dawson Craig of RR3 Auburn, Ontario have a farm and won the trip for two in a draw in their home town. They didn't par- ticipate in too many ac- tivities but seemed to enjoy watching events and talk- ing to the many younger people who dropped by to see them in the lounge area. They seemed to enjoy the whole week at Chub Med. This club had two unusual activites. One was the horseback riding on very well trained horses. I Here is a group of Club Med GMs enjoying the weekly picnic at Playa Blanca, Mexico. Do they look like they are having fun? They sure are enjoy- ing the games and ac- tivities provided at Club Med. ( Photo - Bob Watson) didn't get to do some of this riding because I got caught up in other things but those who did do some riding into the hills on horseback said it was terrific. Of course, there was a training session for begin- ners who had never been on a horse before. The other unusual activi- ty was the cir+cts! Here people could learn to do those swinging efforts on the trapeze that you see in circuses. One evening a performance was put on by the staff and trainees to show the rest of us how they could fly through the air and catch the hand of the other person on a sw- in6- (Contkw*d next we") Kortright Day Camp Metro Toronto area children can join a nature camp with a difference next summer, at the Kor- tright Centre for Conserva- tion. near Klemburg.

Copes received a Tony nomination for his "Tango Argentin" choreography in 1985, and the New York Times declared him the best North American Dancer of the Year. He will choreograph this musical, just as he did "Tango Argentin", which Toronto enjoyed at the O'Keefe Centre following its acclaimed run at New York's Mark Hellinger Theatre.

OLD TIMERS HOCKEY The Pickering Old Timers Hockey League was formed nth Rene Soetens, M.P. On Jan. 29th, 1988, in its decision in the Morgentaler case, the Supreme Court of Canada struck down Canada's abor- tion law under the Criminal Code. The Court declared the former law unconstitutional on the basis that it violated the guarantee of security of the person and the principles of fundamental justice in section 7 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and FYeedorns, and that it was not a reasonable limit on such rights under section 1 of the Charter. On Nov. 3rd. 1969 The Hon. Doug Lewis, Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada, introduced in the House of Commons an Act respecting abortion. The bill fulfills the government's commitment to Canadians to br- ing forward new abortion legislation compatible with the decision of the Supreme Court of Canada in the Morgentaler case. The new law comes under the Criminal Code because it is only through the criminal law power that Parliament can regulate abortion on a national basis. The following is a word for word copy of the relevant aspects of the new abortion legislation, which repeals sec- tion 211 and 288 of the Criminal Code. "287 -Every person who induces an abortion on a female person is guilty of an indictable offence and liable to im- prisonment for a term not exceeding two years, unless the abortion is induced by or under the direction of a medical practitioner who is of the opinion that, if the abortion were not induced, the health or life of the female person would be likely to be threatened. "health" includes, for greater certainty, physical, men- tal and psychological health; "medical practitioner", in respect of an abortion induced in a province, means a person who is entitled to practise mecheine under the laws of that province; "opinion" means an opinion formed using generally ac- cepted standards of the medical profession. "For the purposes of this section and section 288, inducing an abortion does not include using a drug, device or other means on a fernale person that is likely to prevent implan- tation of a fertilized ovum. 288 -Every one who unlawfully supplies or procures a drug or other noxious thing or an instrument or thing, knowing that it is intended to be used or employed to induce an abor- tion on a female person, is guilty of an indictable offence and liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding two years." The fundamental principle underlying the legislation is that abortion is a medical act requiring that consultation occur between a woman and her doctor to ensure that health grounds exist for an abortion and to allow for socie- ty's interest in the protection of the foetus. Each Member of Parliament will have their say when a free vote is put to them in the House of Commons. Over the past few months my office has received a great number of letters and literature on this subject. In addition, my recent questionnaire has given me an excellent outline of your opinions. While the vote lies in my hands, it is your input that has assisted me in deciding this most contentious issue. Subject to amendments by other members, I will be supporting the new legislation. If you woWd like a copy of this bill, please contact my con- stituency office at 686-0432. Queen's Park Report from Norah Stoner MPP Durham West Ontario Farm Tax Rebate Program Many of my constituents have called to ask for more details about the 1989 Ontario Farm Tax Rebate Program This program, which provides municipal tax rebates to eligible owners of farm properties, will provide some $140 million in tax relief to Ontario farmers this year. As many of you are already aware, the program has been changed this year to eliminate benefits to property owners who do not farm their land and to reduce or eliminate benefits to property owners with significant off -farm in- come. I would like to clarify some of the questions you have ask- ed about the program. First, the program changes apply for the 1989 year only. A review committee made up of farmers and Ministry of Agriculture and Food Staff have begun a comprehensive review of the program to advise upon its future direction. Serving on the committee are: Earl Smith, RRl Tam- worth, dairy farmer and former township reeve: Dave Older RR4 Thamesford, president of the Oxford County Federation of Agriculture: and Charles Warner, RR3 Englehart, former chairman of Farm Tax Rebate Program Appeal Board. Representing the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food are Norm MacLeod, director of the farm assistance programs branch and Elizabeth McLaren, assistant deputy minister of finance and administration as chairperson. The 1989 program provides 100 percent rebates if you farm your own land and make less than $40,000 from sources other than farming. This level is increased to $60.000 where there are two or more owners on the farm ti- tle. Reduced benefits are available if you make from $40,000 to $60,000 in off -farm income. This lewd is increased to $80.000 where there are two or more owners. Some of you have asked about custom work. I am told that if the custom work is part of your farm business it is not counted as off -farm income. The program does offer exemptions for retired farmers, spouses of deceased farmers or those who have reduced production because of illness or disability. For these peo- ple. the requirement to personally farm the property is waived. Also, although properties that are rented do not qualify for a rebate, sharecropping arrangements are eligible for rebates. Should you require additional information, contact the Farm Assistance Programs Branch of the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food (416) 326-99W. LOCAL UPDATE: I encourage my constituents to drop by or call if they have a concern. We are located at 2 Randall Drive in Pickering Village, Ajax or you can call us at 683-6M. under the auspices of the Town of Pickering Recreation Dept. in October, 1970 as a five team recreation league. in recent years the league has expanded to the current eight team league.
