The Durham Regional Council supports the GTA Airport Study and passed a recommendation last week asking members of the GTA to consider the Pickering site as an option. But Pickering Councillor Bob Mitchell says: "a recently approved housing project, which will even- tually hoose 90,000 people, lies immediately west of the airport site.,, "How can you build a residential community with 90,000 people and fly airplanes over them.

Norah Stoner said that the funding will be used to offset staffing ad- ministrative costs associated with operating the programs. Social and recreational programs will include cards, fitness classes, dan- cing, carpet bowling, language classes, arts and crafts, and other pro- grams.

Brag That You Are Canadian This Space Could Be Yours For $9 M� Page 2 THE NEWS/ POST Wed. June 27, 1990 Opinion a page for expression for you and us About Our National Debt by Bob Watson We had the distinct impression in the last few years that with our national debt headed for $400 billion that our Ot- tawa government was going to cut back on unnecessary ex- penditures. Well, that myth has been exploded some weeks ago when Mr. Mulroney and Company gave the Inuit Indians 110,000 hectares of land plus $580 million! Some economy, eh? Then this past week we taxpayers paid for the aircraft that brought Nelson Mandela and his wife, Winnie, to Canada (Canadian Forces aircraft) and the same plane took them to New York City. Of course, that seems like peanuts compared to the $5 million that our nice prime minister. Brian Mulroney, announced publicly we are giv ing to the African National Congress. We believe that this is the organization that a few years ago was trying to over- throw the South African government by force. although right now this group is playing a neat game of getting world sympathy on its side and piling up money from countries like Canada. In any event does this extra $5 million go on to our na- tional debt. too? Of course, it does'. A balanced budget is what every family has to have to survive in this economic world - and national governments are no different. Sensible expenditures balanced by revenue is the only way to go - so when is our federal government going to go that way? It is time we believe for the federal Progressive Conser- vative caucus to ask for Mulroney's resignation. He deserves a rest and we Canadians need a break from his leadership and hopefully go buck to sensible decisions designed to unite our country, not divide it! Time For A Break by Bob Watson New Liberal leader Jean Chretien is right - it is time for a political break in Canada - and for the politicians to listen to the people. After all. democracy is supposed to function this The liberal convention in Calgary was an exciting mo- meat in Canadian history and we predict it is the start of a new political tone. Jean Chretien is correct to spend the next few months visiting all of the country, solving his par- tv's debt problem and urging Quebecers and other Cana- dians to visit each other. We especially liked Chretien's remark: "1et's shut down the stove - and fire the cook"' Things looked very dismal last weekend but if we Cana- dians are as fantastic as we believe we are, than the future will continue in a positive way. As for Quebec's demands to sign the constitution, we believe that all Canadian provinces should enjoy the same privileges which Quebec gets. After all, this confederation never allocated any special privileges to any one province - and with French being taught heavily in Ontario Quebecers should not worry about their language disappearing. Let's all become Canadians - and stop being provincial - for the nations benefit! Disappointed To The Editor. This letter expresses the deep disappointment of Cam- dian physicians with the federal government's decision to not implement the smoking ban on international flights by Canadian carriers on July 1st as promised. We are distressed to see that the profits of the airline companies and the tobacco manufacturers take precedence over the health and wellbeing of Canadians. Surely those who looked to Hon. Doug Lewis and his government for leadership on this vital issue deserve better than this. Yours truly. Marcien Fournier, B.A.. M.D., C.S.P.Q. President The Canadian Medical Association. $149 Million Profit Canada Post Corporation has announced a profit of $149 million for the past fiscal year, the second consecutive year of profitability for the Crown Corporation.

Our External Debt The latest issue of the National Bank of Canada's Economic Review examines Canada's external in- debtedness. The bank's economists first point out that Canada's foreign debt has now reached =9 billion or 35 per cent of GDP. They then explain the link between recurring currant account deficits and external indebtedness and emphasize that the sharp deterioration in Canada's balance of payments in recent years has brought the problems created by this indebtedness into dearer focus. The massive erosion of the merchandise trade balance is no doubt partially the result of the application of an anti- inflation monetary policy which has adversely affected the growth of Canadian exports. however, the authors of the Economic Review state that exceptionally strong domestic demand, both in terms of private and public consumption and investment, is behind the current account imbalance. The Economic Review therefore draws a parallel bet- ween the current account deficit and the state of the federal government's finances. In fact, while the dearth of domestic savings is to some agent attributable to the rapid accumulation d household debt, it stems mainly from the existence of a recession -like public deficit increasingly financed through foreign funds, a growing portion of which is invested in short -tem securities. This is typical of port- folio decisions based on relative returns and not on a long - tem investment strategy, and means that foreigners are not investing in the Canadian economy's production capaci- ty. The authors also point out that despite the small scale of the Canadian economy, Canada is a major borrower on in- ternational financial markets They maintain that Letter To The Editor MPs Side With Banks Dear Sir Madam, You are the representatives of the people. We want your collaboration to study with us the problem of existing abuo dance in our courntry, and to consider the possibility of in- creasing it. by allowing the unemployed to work, by using robots or high-technology, by eliminating quotas. etc... In front of such abundance, the only thing lacking for abundance to reach everyone is money. The problem is to put more money in the hands of the people, so that the abun- dant production may be used by them. It is therefore not the time to increase taxes: this would not solve the problem of existing abundance. The government is debt -ridden, as well as taxpayers. You won't solve the problem by taxing the government or the taxpayers. When some MPs talk about increasing taxes, they are sacrificing their constituents and siding with the bankers, they become the representatives of the bankers and not of their constituents. It is a terrible thing to see MPs defend the bankers so ardently. and yet having so little zeal to defend their constituents. They must change their at- titude: we want all the MPs to become the defenders of their constituents and of justice. Side with us, with your constituents, with the people, with what is right. People of the governmrnent, take back immediately the power to create money in the country. No more public debts. No more taxes to pay the interest on these debts. There will be no more deficits to make up. By setting up an organism of accountants, a national organism at the service of society, to create money and distribute it in accordance with realities, with the wealth that population can produce, there will be no more problem of lack of figures to purchase goods, no more problem of ac- counting. The population can build the country, and their represen- tatives would not be able to set tip an organism of accoun- tants who would be responsible to the government and the population, an organism that would create the money - figures to allow the population of our country to purchase the goods they made themselves.

Good news for good drivers. Ontario has a new, comprehensive auto insurance system, called the Ontario Motorist Protection Plan. The OMPP puts the brakes on increases in vour insurance rates. It speeds up payment of improved benefits, and extends coverage to some people not previously covered. Most claims will be settled without lawsuits. However, You still have the right to sue if you are seriously injured. The new plan is more than insurance reform. It will lower costs by improving highway safety and reducing accidents. Because, in the end, safe driving is a good way to keep costs down and prevent injuries. THE GOOD NEWS. In recent years, caps have kept insurance rates in Ontario artificially low, while cost pressures have continued to mount. Bodily injury claims. for example, totalled about $1.8 billion in 1988. Without the Ontario Motorist Protection Plan insurance companies would require premium increases of 30-35 % this year. The OMPP will hold premium increases this year to only 8 % on average in urban areas, while average rates in rural areas will not increase at all. The OMPP works to keep automobile insurance affordable. HOW DOES THE ONTARIO MOTORIST PROTECTION PLAN WORK? Your insurance policy will automatically be converted to the new system by your insurance company. Under the OMPP, virtually all your dealings will be with your own insurance company. Guaranteed income benefits will be paid to people injured in an accident, regardless of fault. These are payments to cover income, medical bills, death benefits and child care. For the first time. students, retirees and homemakers are covered. Compensation will be paid by your insurance company quickly after vour claim is filed. Should Your vehicle be damaged, Your insurance company will pay to repair it if you are not at fault. You can continue to buy optional collision coverage to cover your vehicle if you are at fault. To make the system fairer. vour insurance premiums will be based on the cost of repairing your own car - not the cost of the "average" car on the road. Someone with a car that is expensive to repair can expect higher insurance rates. THE BAD NEWS FOR BAD DRIVERS. Paving benefits regardless of fault does not mean bad drivers go unpunished. Fault continues to be used for rating purposes. Those with good records are rewarded with preferred rates. Those who cause accidents are charged higher premiums. Motorists causing accidents resulting in death or serious permanent injury are still liable to be sued for unlimited damages. As part of the OMPP, over 100 additional Ontario Provincial Police will patrol our highways. Traffic fines have been more than doubled. NOW WHAT? The Ontario :Motorist Protection Plan balances the need for affordable rates with the requirement for comprehensive protection. Compensation is there without the need to go to court. The premium dollar goes to help those who need it most - the injured victims. Your insurance broker or agent has all the details about the Ontario Motorist Protection Plan. And you will receive an information brochure with your premium notice The Ontario Motorist Protection Plan.

The song gained stead- ily in popularity. Many English versions have appeared over the years. The version on which the official English lyrics are based was written in 1908 by Mr. Justice Robert Stanley Weir.

Jttoe 27, IM Bill Watt's Worlds ON STAGE : Love Letters now ap- pearing at the Winter Garden is not truly a play. It is more properly a reading, a reading of let- -ters by a man and a woman who have known each other from childhood to . . We can't say more without en- dangering the dramatic impact for viewers. The man and the woman sit side by side at writing desks reading, actually reading, their letters to each other, letters that begin with a child's accep- tance of a party invitation and continue through the events of each other's lives. They don't look at one another, they do not touch, they never inter -act. But, oh my, how they react! Double takes are impossi- ble, of course, but takes are not and each of the current cast is a master: mistress of this most valuable of theatrical commodities. Victor Garber is the man (and, we suspect, the alter ego of the playwright, A.R. Gurney). He is handsome, distinguished, human. Madeline Kahn is the woman. She is pretty, ac- complished and human, very human. She is - borrowing again and shamelessly from Cole Porter -class with a capital K. Both are born to comfort, both are WASPS. both are aware of their advantages, both are initially unaware that they love each other. It is a curious experience sitting in a theatre wat- ching two people's lives un- fold by the deceptively sim- ple reading of their letters. Yet, there is no feeling of intrusion, certainly none of voyeurism even in the ac- counts of their eventual and too long delayed love making. No, the feeling is one of contact with life long friends whose affairs are of genuine interest. The im- pact of Love Letters owes its origin to the words of the playwright, of course, but those words are better when read aloud by two such fine performers as Victor Garber and Madeline Kahn. They can be seen in their roles until July 1st after which they will be replaced by Colleen Dewhurst and E.G. Marshall. We intend to see the latter pairing as well and we believe so will anyone else who sees Love Letters. It is a work that deserves and commands repeat custom. P.S. Those who have seen or will see Love Letters will be interested to know that our initial draft of the review was written with a Parker 51.

This reviewer has long felt that Herr Strauss wrote Der Rosenkavalier not out of any inspiration but in a calculated display of the fact that he was capable of light music. Or maybe he was exorcising the demons of the earlier Salome and Elektra. Whatever, Der Rosenkavalier is a frothy piece of pleasure made even more pleasurable in the new Canadian Opera Company production at The O'Keefe. It is a truly sumptuous presentation with only the most minor fault which will be address- ed later. The older woman. the Feldmarschallin, is played by Soprano Josephine Barstow. The seduc- tiveness of her voice mat- ches the seductiveness of her appearance. By custom the lover is always played by a woman, possibly because only women can conjure up on stage the youthful look of a boy of only 17 summers. Mezzo soprano Delores Ziegler plays the young count Octavian and, in the main, does so very well. Unfortunately she appears as pretty. not handsome. Still, her voice is the most important. thing and it is glorious. Soprano Cheryl Parrish is all pretty innocence as Sophie, the girl who might steal the affections of Octa- vian and bars Artur Korn is all comic lechery as the man who hats after Octa- vian whom he has seen only disguised as a woman - Director Stephen Lawless keeps the shenanigans under strict control -almost too strict - and over all is the sound of the music conducted with impeccable warmth by Julius Rude]. nus minor complaint? This production of Der Rosenkavalier is languorous. Nothing the matter with that, of course, but it seems to us that, given the intense physical ELLAS RESTAURANT AND BANQUET 5 LUXURY BAN QUET FACILITIES Any size up to 1500 people • WEDDINGS • ENGAGEMENTS • COMPANY MEETINGS • SEMINARS • DINNER • LUNCH • BREAKFASTS • RETIREMENT PARTIES • BAPTISMS 35 Danforth Rd.

It doesn't really matter one supposes; Der Rosenkavalier is always a delight regardless of whatever directorial thrust is vouchsafed. Certainly we enjoyed Der Rosenkavalier. How could anyone not enjoy it? DINNER THEATRE: They're Playing Our Song opens tonight at Stage West, starring Shaun Cassidy. Our full review will follow of this Neil Simon comedy with music by Marvin Hamlisch and Carole Bayer Sager who are the real life inspira- tions for the characters in the play. Allow us a touch of reminiscence please in recalling our memory of Shaun Cassidy's father, the late Jack Cassidy in his first Broadway hit. It was called "Wish You Were Here" and it was on Broad- way on our very first trip to New York_ You know, "they're (still) not painting the skies as blue this year". COMING UP: It is incorrect to say that we dislike the music of An- drew Lloyd Webber as he has suggested. It is correct, however, to say that we think it over rated and suc- cessful because of gim- micky presentation. As a case in point we of- fer Starlight Express corn- ing to The O'Keefe on Tues. July 17th to run through Ju- ly ?8th. Inspired by the composer's lifetime fascination with trains. Starlight is a fantasy tale in which all the characters are railway cars com- peting to determine the greatest locomotive of them all. It is an overblown Little Brue Train That Could. The elaborate set features 50 tons of grids and trusses and includes a 44 foot skating ramp built over the orchestra pit and into the audience. The cast of 37 compete against 11,350 lights, 22 miles of fibre optics and quadrophonic sounds. All very exciting but can anyone tell us the name of any of the songs from the show? Just asking. Anyway, we're looking forward to it and we predict it will be an S.R.O. attraction. IN PRINT: Some readers might have seen Roy Blount Jr. on the Johnny Carson show last week promoting his book First Hubby ( Villard). Can't say that we blame him. The book needs all the help it can get. As described on the cover, this is "a novel about a man who happens to be married to the Presi- dent of the United States". No, it's not a gay novel sillee; the President in question is the first woman President. It's not a gay novel and, in fact, isn't much of a novel at all. The story of the husband of a woman President was first essayed some years ago in a largely forgettable motion picutre that starred Polly Bergen and Fred MacMurray. It wasn't muds of a movie either.

The increase is in addition to the annual $60,000 salary and $9,600 tax-free allowance already paid to senators. They will get it if they showed up for Seante debates, committee work, or joint Senate - Commons hearings, which makes you wonder why they get paid in the fust place. This increase will give diligent Senators with a good attendance record a tax-free allowance higher than that paid to elected M.P.'& The Senate is currently full of liberals who were ap- pointed during the Trudeau era. While their spending ways are unthinkable, they certainly are not unexpected. After all. they're just following right on from the Trudeau spen- ding craze legacy. Each one of us wants our own community to be the best possible place in which to live, work and play. National Ac- cess Awareness Week provides Canadians with an oppor- tunity to do something to help achieve the full social and economic participation of people with disabilities in the community. It is an occasion to work together with disabled persons to improve accessibility in all aspects of communi- ty life, including transportation, housing, employment, recreation and education. Access means more than just removing physical bar riers. It involves changing attitudes among people so that everyone is committed to the principle of integration. Equal access means just that - equality and accessibility for everyone. It is important to remember that community members who may have a hidden or invisible disability, such as a learning or psychiatric disability, have a strwig role to play w achieving equality for all.

June 14th to 17th, at the Olympium, 50 metre pool in Etobicoke. It was international in that 21 swimmers from Leeds, England were tak- ing part along with 89 American entries from three U.S. swim clubs. The retraining 680 swimmers were Canadian, mostly from the central region of Ontario and representing some of Canada's most powerful swim clubs, such as Etobicoke Pepsi, North York Aquatic, Hamilton Wentworth, Mississauga, Oakville, London Aquatic and Kitchener -Waterloo -'Y" Scarborough Swim Club's Liz Warden rose to the top of the 11 & 12 age group capturing two gold, one silver and two bronze medals to win the high point trophy for her category. She was swimm- ing personal best times in all her endeavours for four days straight. Teammate Alison Jones, one year younger but now swimming in the same age - group (11 & 12) kept pace with the assault on per- sonal best times and did some brilliant long distance freestyle swims such as 400 and 8D0 metres. Coach Bob Boadway says the girls are looking very strong as we head toward the Provincial Long Course Championships taking place at the Olympium in three weeks time. Other finalists at the Pepsi Meet for Scar- borough were Kerri Ford, Giancarlo Jacob and Bob Hayes all swimming in the 13 and 14 age category. Coach Bob is expecting to have 35 swimmers from Scarborough qualified for the July Championships. The recent Central Region "B" Champion- ships hosted by Oakville Aquatic Club and held at the Etobicoke Olympium saw more Scarborough medalists than ever before at a championship meet.

Multiple world record holder Joanne Bouw set a Canadian record in the javelin at the 1969 Ontario Games and, since 1984, is unbeaten in the javelin, discus and shot put events. She's the world record holder in all three. Jeff Adam of Brampton won a silver medal in the 1,500 metre race at this year's Commonwealth Games and Windsor's Jeff Tiessen broke a world record in the 400 metre race at the 1988 Paralym- pics in Seoul. South Korea. Both men first found fame at the Ontario Games - But Bouw, who was On- tario's first Disabled Athlete of the year in 1986 and again in 1989, says the Ontario Games are still a highlight. "For any Ontario athletes the Games are im- portant, especially disabl- ed athletes because there aren't too many competi- tions," says Bouw, a phar- macist in St. Cahtarines. "I usually psych myself up for the ( Ontario) Games and use them as a primer for the nationals.- Bouw ationals.- Bouw will be one of the more than 400 participants competing in this year's Games in Etobicoke.

The Neighbourhood Swim Club's Olympic Way program finished its third ten -week session and held a novice meet at Laurier Pool June 8th. All swim- mers received a free swim cap; donuts and juice were served by the parents who also helped to run the meet.

The Games are co- sponsored by the Ontario Ministry of Tourism and Recreation. This year marks the 15th anniversary of the Games, scheduled for July 6.8 in Etobicoke. The Ontario Games represent a key step toward earning a spot on the national team, which competes at many interna- tional competitions, in- cluding the Paralympics, which usually take place just after the Olympics in the same city. Moreover. there's a good possibility that if Toronto wins the bid to host the 1996 Summer Olympics, the Paralympics will also take place in the Ontario cagtal . Sports competitions for disabled athletes Wer+ an anomaly until 1944, when Sir Ludwig Guttman, medical director at England's Stoke Mandeville Hospital, organized a competition for a small group of physically disabled athletes. Sports included archery, snooker, ping pong and basketball. The results were an over- whelming success. Four years later, a dif- ferent group of paralysed British ex -servicemen and women took part in an ar- chery competition at Stoke and by 1952, the Stoke Mandeville Games were an important international event for disabled archers around the world. The Stoke Games are now con- sidered one of the world's premier events for disabl- ed athletes.

Cars and trucks lam the high- ways, emitting grimy clouds of exhaust, and an ominous haze floats on the horizon. Vehicle - related air pollution is a serious problem for Canadians in large cities, vet it's no less a concern to suburban and rural residents. Emissions are carried hun- dreds of kilometres by wind. causing widespread health and agricultural problems. In recent yeais, almost all Canadian cities have exceeded federal air con- tamination limits• especially during the summer. THE CAUSE OF SMOG The yellowish -brown haze that sometimes hangs on the horizon is known as photo- chemical smog. Currently. 40 percent of urban smog is attrib- uted to vehicles, which release large amounts of nitric oxide, carbon monoxide and hvdrocar- bons. In the presence of sun- light. the mixture of these gases reacts to form ozone, per- oxyacetyl nitrate and aldehvdes — substances which can lead to health problems. ONE "'AN'TO CLEAR THE AIR There are steps we can take to reduce smog and air pollution caused by vehicles. If you must drive. switch to natural Etas• where available. Natural gas is the cleanest burning fossil fuel. by converting your vehicle to natural gas, carbon nxx oxide and reactive hydrocarbon emis- sion can be reduced by at least JU percent.

BLOCK PARENTS Canada Trust has put out an informative pamphlet on the Block Parent Program that I picked up at the Pickering Library. A Block Parent is any responsible adult who cares enough about the well being of children and other person to volunteer his or her home as a safe refuge when a need arises. A Block Parent sign in the window lets children in distress know that a Block Parent is home to provide a safe haven. And even when theme is no cause for concern, the Block Parent sign can act as a deterrent to potential of- fenders who can quickly conclude that the neighbourhood has its own safety support system. If you are interested in being a Block Parent, pick up one of the brochures, fill it out and mail or bring it to you nearest Elementary School, you police force or the manager at any office of Canada Trust Realtor.

Queen's Report kanNoghBMmr MR Durlpm MMt To protect our environment, to promote the wise use of resources, and to provide a role model for the broader public and private sectors, supplies, equipment and ser- vices purchased by the Ontario government will now sup- port the three Rs of waste management: reduction, reuse and recycling, and the conservation of energy and water. The new policy means that the government will buy such things as retreaded tires, recycled office supplies, re - refined motor oil, energy efficient light bulbs and washroom fixtures designed to conserve water. '"Ione Government spends more than $2 billion a year on goods and services, and, under the new policy, it will em- phasise the environment when it buys everything from engine oil to light bulbs to photocopy paper," said Govern- ment Services Minister, Chris Ward. Under the new policy, the province will establish man- datory standards for products which contain recycled material. These standards will apply to all Ontario govern- ment ministries and agencies. Ministries will now give consideration to suppliers who recognize environmental concerns in the provision of their goods and services. Suppliers whose products or services meet the government's quality standards, are priced com- petitively, and are also environmentally sensitive, will enhance their opportunities to win goverment contracts. Private industry in Canada has already begun to recognize public concerns about the environment. Many businesses are making strides in supplying products and services for a virotunent-conscious consumers. which may be appropriate for purchase by the government. There is also a wide range of products available that can substitute for products harmful to the environment, such as those made from or containing CFCs, or toxic cleaning compounds. Appliances and fixtures are increasingly available that conserve water and energy, from energy- saving light bulbs to water -conserving washroom fixtures. Waste-reducwg products on the consumer market include double -sided photocopiers and packaging -reduced goods. Products that encourage recycling include recycled fine papers, retreaded truck tires, and refined lubricating oil for cars and trucks. "We believe that the purchasing policy of our govern- ment represents a powerful tool for promoting the ars, can- servatim of valuable resources and the development of en- viroornentally beneficial products and industries,.. said Dir. Ward. The Ministry of Government Services has been involved in environmentally sound practices for some time. For 1990-91, it has established contracts valued at $6.8 million for the supply of recycled paper products such as printing stock, envelopes, pbotocoper paper, and hand towels and sue fisMince off enviroomentlaly-sensitive products known as the ..Greenlim" is being distributed through the ministry of Government Services Products Centre, the central supply services for the Ontario government. More than 70 Greenhw products are now available. A new initiative will curtail the use of polystyrene or "foam" cups. Some 11,500 government employees will receive recycled glass coffee mugs bearing a message pro noting recycling. Use of the mugs will save some 2,000 cubic yards of garbage each year. Province -wide, Govern- ment employees will divert some 1500 metric tomes of waste away from disposal this year. "Our Government is pushing ahead, on the largest fronts and the smallest, in this most important battle of ou times: the battle to protect our environment," said Mr. Ward. Recent decisions by the government have reflected a deep concern for the environment: protecting the Temagami wilderness, preserving the Rouge Valley, a commitment to reducing waste disposal by 25 percent by 1992, and 50 percent by the year 2000, creating an interna- tionally renowned Blue Box Program, and adopting a waste -cutting program for the civil service. The new en- vironmental purchasing policy will compliment these ef- forts. The Labral government shares with the people of our pro- vince a profound concern for the well-being of our environ- ment. We want to make decisions and choices that will help ensure a legacy of clean air, clean water and clean land for our children.
