This Space Lets Kill Could Be Yours For The GST! s9 PER WEEK Page 2 THE NEWS POST Wed. May 23, 1990 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Praises Parks Dept. The Editor I want to pay tribute to Scarborough Parks Department. Some three years ago through their special program I planted a flowering Schubart Cherry Tree on my front lawn. Through the seasons with the various extremes in weather and very high winds I have watched this tree grow from a small sapling to a healthy eight -footer. I have noticed during their recent program of trimming trees in the Cliffcrest area how this is done with expertise and care, so different from what I have seen in other parts of the world. So for those who cry Mayhem that we are destroying our environment I see much hope right on my doorstep. Bertha Kronenberg Scarborough About Killing Dolphins Dear Editor: In recent weeks much has been said and written about dolphins and the slaughter of these special mammals by the tuna industry. The concerns of environmentalists and a rapidly growing number of Canadians about the dolphin mortality are real and demonstrate a commendable con- cern for this species. Ocean Fisheries, as does anyone who has a conscience. supports the outcry against the slaughter of these intelligent "innocent" bystanders. In 1969 Ocean Fisheries identified two major environmen- tal issues. driftnet fishing in the Pacific and seine fishing for Yellowfin tuna in the Eastern Tropical Pacific where the slaughter of dolphins was occurring. In response to these issues Ocean Fisheries has adopted the following pol icy : "Ocean Fisheries Ltd. will not purchase any tuna pro- ducts that were caught in an area or by a method that en- dangers marine mammals." Driftnet fishing is an environmental disaster that still must be stopped. Ocean Fisheries has expended great ef- forts and resources to lobby government officials and sup- port private groups such as Seacops in an effort to abolish this draconian method of fishing. Driftnet fishing not only indiscnnTunately kills dolphins and salmon but every other type of manse life and water fowl that corse in contact with these invisible loo mile long walls of death. The dolphin slaughter is unique to the Eastern Tropical Pacific and specifically to the Yellow•fin fishery located off Central and South America. Although not all Yellowfin is harvested with dolphins. we want to eliminate any chance of contributing to the dolphin slaughter. Ocean's will not purchase Yellowfin tuna. Our light meat tuna purchases will only include Skipjack and Tongol. In 1989 we initiated this program by launching a new pro- duct: roduct: Solid Light Tuna packed exclusively from Tongol tuna. We believe this to be one of the best values for quality, taste and nutrition. Yours sincerely. Scott Martin Import Product Manager 0,-ean Fisheries Ltd Pets & Poisons Dear Sir Madam: The arrival of spring is synonymous with many things dangerous to pets. Herbicides used to kill weeds, insec- ticides, snail and slug baits, ethylene glycol ) present in a variety of substances including anti -freeze and brake fluid) as well as numerous plants are just a few things hazardous to animals. Knowing the symptoms associated with a poisoned pet as well as the emergency procedures to be taken could save your pets life some day. This information as well as how many cases of poisoning can be avoided is contained in the pamphlet ..Pets And Poisons" produced by the Ontario Humane Society.

"While we're not happy with Ottawa's plash on interest rates. we're still working a market that offers stable pprinces and plenty of choice." said Mr. Moranis. "These conditions are ripe for buyers and sellers to find common ground. and knowledgeable Realtors are prepared to assist with in- novative and flexible financing." Wa,ge Settlements Labour Minister Jean Corbeil has released figures show- ing that major collective bargaining settlements reached in the first quarter of 1990 provided wage increases averaging 6.2 percent. This is up from the 5.5 percent recorded in the fourth quarter of 1989 and 5.3 percent for that year as a whole. The increase in the fust quarter was heavily influenced by developments in the Ontario public sector where in- creases averaged 7 9 percent. The average for all other set- tlements was 5.1 percent.

Health Cards The Health Ministry says the new individual health number, available to everyone in Ontario at birth or upon becoming a resident of the province, will mean faster response to a person's needs, and will allow health officials to identify and react to health trends. The new system will improve confidentiality. With the new Health card, the ministry will be able to communicate directly with the individual without the risk of inadvertent- ly revealing health information to other family members. "This new card means that people's health needs will be better served," Health Minister Elinor Caplan siad. "A per- sonal number is the key to reliable records."

May 23, 1990 Bill Watt's Worlds ON STAGE 1: There are many things perhaps ancillary to but never the less contributory to an enjoyable evening of theatre . . an attractive companion, good dining, comfortable theatre and, of course, a well written play. Those are the positives. The negatives include a snotty ticket clerk, ( even reviewers are human after all) uncomfortable seating and a play that might well be landmark but which fails to impress. Unidentified Human Re- mains and The True Nature of Love is being presented by Crow's Theatre at Theatre Passe Muraille on Ryerson Ave, just east of Bathurst. Though sorely tempted, one cannot say that The Crow has laid an egg. Attendance is brisk (we saw a charter bus on the night of our attendance) and U.I.H. is the recipient of a clutch of Dora norruna- tiors. Why its success? Well, there are undeniably fine performances. And, there's a certain staccato excite- ment in the rhythm of the ensemble delivery. But, we suggest it's the T. & A. Oh yes, this is very definitely a T. & A. show displaying some of the nicest T.s and firmest A.s to be seen out- side a California nudist col- any - The plot -the plot! by Brad Fraser seems to be an exploration of the inter- relaticriships between a gay actor now a waiter; a teenaged bus boy who might or might not be biologically gay; the waiter's room mate who can and does swing either way; the waiter's other friend who seems in- capable of moderate or moderated utterances; a lesbian; a straight bartender who makes out with the waiter's roomie and a bondage hooker who serves as a psel+drn chorus. These c:Iaracters are seen in a series of virtual blackouts expostulating on their existence while the threat of a serial killer is vaguely present. Their names are interesing as well . . Jen i Coxwell, Benita Woodruff (she's the one into bondage or what ever) Bernie Sawchuk and Candy Nesbitt. There are scenes of - simulated of course - fellatio, cunnilingus, anal entry and drunkeness .. all accompanied by scatological and for- nicatory expletives. It's a hit and who are we to gainsay? Allow us only to mention that the cast is truly fine and much ap- preciated. Brent Carver is funny but never mawkish as the handsome waiter (anyone out there remember Cincinatti Cream Ale'); Henry Czer- ny is almost believable as his loudmouthed friend; John Jarvis is appropriate- ly macho as the bartender; Arlene Mazerolle is ab- solutely gorgeous as the CAKES AND HAND -MADE CHOCOLATES ' Made fresh d@My wf h pure whlppirrp cream 1085 Bellamy Rd.

We continue to hold that a reviewer's comments shouldn't court for much in the face of success. After all, Brooks Atkinson didn't like Oklahoma! on fust viewing. So discriminating theatre goers will take our comments abort U.I.R. cum gran salis. They will also ponder however Felix qui potuit rerun cognoscere causal. ON STAGE 11: We are almost deter- mindedly Anglo-Saxon, yet, we often think that there must be some Latin in us because of our belief that a strong man's tears are not shameful. Still, while they might not be shameful, the Anglo side of our nature dictates that they need not be public. So it is that we rarely at- tend concerts or other per- formances where young children sing. There is something about the in- nocence of young voices raised in song that reduces us to not so silent and almost monumentally public textus. We will not attend the performarnce this Sunday or Monday at the Young People's Theatre of Bew jamin Britten's The Golden Vanity featuring The Cana- dian Children's Opera Chorus.

(STAGE NEWS: By now you'll have read that this year's Dora Awards for excellence in Toronto theatre will be presented at the Elgin Theatre on Mon. June 25th. Be aware that you can determine the winners and possibly win yourself an ex- citing prize. Listen to the promos on CJEZ-FM and you could win a one week trip for two to London, England including air fare and accommodation. For those who just might be unaware of the fact, the Luras are named after Dora Mavor Moore, a lady who probably did more for the cause of local theatre than anyone else in the past half Century. We do not think we are guilty of exag- geration in suggesting that her contribution to Toronto theatre and the rest of Canada subsequently is equal to that of Antoinette Perry in the U.S. All right then, due honour is being paid to Dora Mavor Moore. But, what about the young lady who suggested the awards in the first place'. Why isn't Millie Drane being recognized for her con- tribution? At the media gathering to announce the nominees, she was in the audience but wasn't even acknowledged by any of the speakers. Rather poor show daps. SKY LIGHTS: It was either Kaufman or Hart or both who wrote Light Up the Sky. Ontario Place will not be presen- ting it this summer ( Come to think of it, has O.P. ever considered legitimate theatre? It'd certainly be better than The Dream in High Park) but the sky will certainly be lit up. Benson and Hedges Sym- phony ymphony of Fire -spectacular fireworks displays set to music -is back for another season of competitions, this time between France, Ita- ly, Australia and Spain. Symphony of Fire will appear each Saturday and Wednesday evening from June 23rd through July 7th when the grand finale will be presented. If you have not already experienced the thrill of Symphony of Fire, our at- tempts to describe it will be ineffective. Hell, we're a reviewer, not a parodist! However, there is a way you can get some idea of it. Benson & Hedges is/are presenting in advance of the competitions the High Tech Wall with highlights from previous years' com- petitions. It will appear at the Yonge Eglinton Centre, May 24-26; Scarborough Town Centre, May 31 -Juane 2, Square One June 7-9 and Fairview Mall June 14-16. Go see it to be teased, then be sure to see the real thing at Ontario Place. You'll be sorry if you don't. IN PRINT: The advent of wireless radio and television had a Hope To Raise $1 Million The Lung Association in Ontario is hoping to raise $1 million between now and the end of July during their annual Spring Appeal. Asthma is the focus of the campaign. Approximately one million Canadians suf fer from asthma and despite increasing knowledge of the disease and newer treatment methods, deaths due to asthma are on the rise in Canada. "According to Canadian census figures, there was a profound effect on the writing style of news and public affairs reporters. Those who are heard on radio or seen and beard on television can use a dif- ferent syntax from those whose writings are to be read rather than beard. The former can inflect and emotionalize orally subject only to their individual talents as virtual . . per- formers. The latter must commit to print, complete with proper punctuation, their stories, their thoughts, their opinions in a manner at once precise and comprehensible as op- posed pposed to simply com- prelensive. Few journalists whose principal exposure is radio and/or television are effec- tive in "pure print" and vice versa. Consider William F. ( Bill) Buckley. Jr. He is probably best known as the host of Firing Line. Born to the semi -purple and seem- ingly self committed to be the perennial preppie. his speech, his delivery is plummy in the extreme. It abounds in pseudo preg- nant pauses, arbitary and artificial inflections and supposed random scatter- urgs of Latin_ It is accompanied by much rolling of the eyes in a manner reminiscent of the late Eddie Cantor. To watch him on television or in person is to be rather more entertained than in- formed. To quote from Blossom Time, "he speaks but he says nothing" . usually. Unfortunately, he writes the same way he speaks and we offer as evidence On The Firing Lane -The Public Life of Our Public Figures ( Random House ). It's a carefully selected sampler of some of the bet- ter programs in the Firing Line series strung together by Mr. Buckley's reminiscences and recollections of the events and circumstances sur- rou &ding them. It's entertaining enough but after a while one begins to realize one is in the presence of a man who loves the sound of his own voice and the look of his ut- terances in print. The best part of the book is the introduction by Alistair Cooke, another man who likes to hear himself speak but who, at least, has the benefit of a lifetime of scholarship behind him. Possibly we are being too harsh on this well intended volume but we quite frank- ly, found it boring. Sorry Bill. David Brinkley also has a distinctive delivery . . 300 percent increase in asthma related deaths among young male Cana- dians ages 15-24, between 1971 to 1983 and a 160 per- cent increase in asthma deaths for women of that age group during the same period,,, stated Shelagh Finlayson, asthma coor- dinator. "These statistics are tragic since approx- imately 50 percent of those deaths can be attributed to lack of knowledge," con- tinued Finlayson. close moutnea lite Dickens' Wemmick-but his delivery is of material well boned by years of ex- perience in print as a reporter. His disciplined yet relax- ed writing makes washirngton Goes to War (Ballantine) not only infor- mative but enjoyable. The title is not complete- ly accurate. The book is ac- tually an informal history of the U.S. capitol leading up to its W.W.II emergence as one of the most impor- tant though poorly run cities in the world. What pleasure to realize again the skill of David Brinkley as a journalist. Morley Safer of Sixty Minutes was a newspaper and wire service reporter and writer before rocketing into prominence during the Vietrnan war with his sear- ing indictments of atrocities on both sides. We had forgotten that Morley Safe is Canadian and now suggest he was assigned there because he speaks French. He has now written Flashbacks -On Retuning to Vietnam ( Random House) and his writing style has become an amalgam of pure pent and imagery. One imagines that as he was writing, be was mentally reading the words. Of course, we can't know that but we most cer- tainly know that Flashbacks -a record of Mr. Safer's return to Vietnam in 1989 -is a book you will not wish to put down once you have started it. Such is the power of his style or what ever that the book is almost visual in its impact. This is not to imply that it is mere flash; far from it. It is another sear- ing indictment of the futili- ty of war and one is left with the age old question. . who won? JOB MART: Gino Empry, now arguably the dean of Toronto's P.R. scene has let us know that be is look- ing for two bright people to join him in his enterprises. The work is hard -P. R. isn't all glamour -but the rewards great. Anyone interested and with proper qualifications and background should contact the Empry office. Good luck .. we think. FAST EXIT: Morley Safer and yours truly have a few things in common. We were both born in Toronto in the same year and we both speak French as all good Cana- dian should. More than that though, we both now have pouchy eyes. What a claim to fame!

Invited to this presenta- tion were members of the board's Air Services, Distribution, Environmen- tal and Transportation Committees. Island Airport On Mar. 30, 1990 the Federal Court of Canada ruled in favour of the Toronto Harbour C immis- sioners (THC) to allow in- creased air services at the Island Airport. The board has been a strong proponent of in- creased flights from the Island Airport to cover the airport's deficiency,to share the load of increased air passenger volumes in the Toronto region, to offer the business community a choice of flights, and because the increased ser- vices and proposed new terminal, do not con- travene the Tripartite agreement which governs the airports operatics. Close N orthview Hts . Pool The North York Board of Education has closed the swimming pool at Nor- thview Heights Secondary School to remove ceiling in- sulation that could become a future health hazard. The possibility that in- sulation in the ceiling could contain asbestos was rais- ed by staff yesterday morn- ing and subsequently con- firmed yesterday after- noon after the board's staff acted immediately to con- duct sample testing. The asbestos is contained in insulation and has been covered over several times by paint. As such, it has been undisturbed and therefore is completely safe for staff and students. It is only friable asbestos which is considered a potential health hazard. This is not the situation at Northview Heights. The board, however, decided to close the pool immediately. A contractor will be hired to remove the asbestos and any potential dangers. The work is ex- pected to take three to four weeks to complete and the pool should be ready for summer use. "The board's immediate response to this discovery is indicative of its on-going concern for the health and safety of students and employees," said Director of Education Veronica Lacey.

The discussions will guide people through the potential "traps" and disappointments when choosing vacation and retirement options in the "sunshine belt" of the U.S. After more than 15 years of research studying the Canadian "snowbird" migration phenomenon, course instructor Sidney Kling has written two books, "How To Retire and Invest Successfully in Florida: A Guide Book for Canadians" and "It's Never Too Early: A Guide Lake Huron Circle Tour On a large yacht in the in- ternational waters between Ontario and Michigan, Ken Black, Ontario's Minister of Tourism and Recreation and Larry Myer, Director of the Michigan Depart- ment of Commerce have cut a ribbon to officially launch the Lake Huron Cir- cle Tour Route.

Kling is a professional retirement planner and former professor of Leisure Studies at Ryerson Polytechnical Institute in Toronto and at the Univer- sity of South Florida in Tampa. "I have interviewed hun- dreds of Canadians living in Florida," he says, "and a recurring comment was that these people wished they had found out more about living in the south before leaving Canada as opposed to learning by trial and error. "It's easy for Canadians to travel to the United States," Kling adds, "and we often forget we are in a foreign country with dif- ferent laws and restric- tions. This course is design- ed to inform people con- sidering living in the south and whose knowledge of the states has been ac- quired as tourists." Information provided in- cludes securing your home in the U.S. when you return to Canada. buying sup- plementary upplementan- U S. health care coverage, the tax im- plications of owning and selling a home in the U.S. and the varying costs of liv- ing. As well, one evening will be devoted to the varie- ty of housing available. "Living in a warmer climate during Canada's coldest months gives peo- ple the chance to be more mobile, avoid winter colds and boredom," Kling adds. "The course teaches people how to live like a local resi- dent for five or six months and enjoy all the pleasures the south has to offer."

Act, have taken centre -stage in media coverage. However, at the same time, the federal government has introduced and passed some important legislation with little or no fan- fare. I would like to outline some of this legislation and pro- vide a brief explanation of the impact they will have on Canadians. The following bills received Royal Assent during the past month to officially become acts of Parliament. An Act to Amend the National Energy Board Act will streamline the regulation of electricity exports to ensure federal govern- ment regulations complement, rather than duplicate, pro- vincial regulations. The Federal Court Act Amendments will now make it easier for Canadians to sue the federal government. It will also clarify the responsibilities and powers of the Federal Court's Trial Division and the Federal Court of Appeal con- cerning challenges to the decisions of federal tribunals. Amendments to The Small Businesses Loan Act will ex- tend the Small Businesses Iran Act for an additional three years, allowing the government to guarantee loans of up to $2 billion during that period. The Crop Insurance Act was officially amended to make possible improvements to the 1990 crop insurance pro- grams. The Railway Act will allow any railway incor- porated prior to January Ist, 1968, to come under provincial jurisdiction. In little over a month the government has introduced a number of new pieces of legislation. The Health of Animals Act was introduced to improve our ability to protect human and animal health by controlling diseases and toxic substances in animals in their products. The Act will achieve its goal by strengthening our ability to prevent the entry into Canada of animal diseases. many of which have serious economic consequences, and by controlling and eradicating disease outbreaks. The Plant Protection Act will protect plant life and hence, the agricultural and forestry sectors of the Canadian economy. This legislation will accomplish this by preven- ting the import. export and spread of plant pests and by controlling or eradicating plant pests in Canada. The Government Expenditure Restraint Act was put forth to authorize aspects of the February 1990 budget af- fecting four statutory programs: the Canada Assistance Plan. the Canadian Exploration Incentive Program, Established Programs Financing, and the Public Utilities Income Tax Transfer. As you can see, the government has been quite busy and at the same time, many other bulls are being debated on or have been sent to legislative committees, which will study fully their impact on Canadians. Many of these bills will have an impact an the "average Canadian" and yet, little is known about them. In the future, I will outline more of these bills. On May 11th -13th. The Governor General's House Guards Association will be holding their 50th Anniversary reunion at the Denison Armoury in Downsview. U you were a former Guard, please call 226-1123 for more information. Durham Region District Health Council News REGIONAL NEWS Day Program at Fairview Lodge On behalf of the Minister of Community and Social Services, Allan Furlong, MPP for Durham Centre, announced on Mar. 6th that Fairview Lodge in Whitby will receive $100,526 an- nually to establish and operate a day program for seniors living at home. The program will provide ser- vices to adults and seniors who have cognitive im- pairments, including those afflicted with strokes, Alzheimer disease or other debilitative disorders. Support will also be pro- vided for the individuals' families, including respite relief. Health monitoring, assistance with daily liv- ing, social and recreational activities will be part of the new program. This pro- gram is an excellent exam- ple of the provincial government's commitment to helping seniors remain in their homes as long as possible. Dialysis Unit This is old news but still good news so it can be repeated. The Ministry of Health announced that 52.5 million will be made available to Oshawa General Hospital to establish a new 6 -station kidney dialysis service. The service will consist of a five -station haemodialysis unit and one station for in- termittent peritoneal dialysis. The district health councils in Durham Region and Halibuuton, Kawartha and Pine Ridge identified the need for this unit and recommended this expan- sion east of Metro Toronto. "Providing treatment closer to home is a fun- damental principle of the new directions in health care service," said the Minister of Health.
