(Photo - Bob Watson) Now In Action With Home Care Just over two years ago at the invitation of Mrs. Barbara Harburn, Ad- ministrator of Durham Region Home Care Pro- gram. a group of some 20 people met to brainstorm ideas regarding the possi- ble formation of a hospice to assist in the care of those who are terminally ill. The people in this group came from various health care agencies and institu- tions as well as one or two from the community who had expressed an interest in hospice work. The motivation to meet came from an expressed need for help in the cmtn- munity with terminally ill people who were wishing to remain at home as long as possible. The professional nurses and social workers were often finding themselves frustrated due to insuffiient time to spend with each patient and his, her family, and, ther- fore, backup support in the form of trained volunteers was being suggested. Hospice or palliative care is a recognized form of care that addresses the needs of a dying person physically, emotionally, psychologically, socially and spiritually. The initial goal is the control of and relief from pain followed by the control of other pro- blems such as nausea, breathing difficulties etc. Professionals and volunteers are trained in communication skills to help establish a rapport with the terminally ill per- son and his her family so :f:.... Let's Brag That that problems in dealing with death, the loss of a lov- ed one, fimnces, family dynamics, etc. can be ad- dressed. Hospice care can be ad- ministered in many dif- ferent settings and is best accomplished by a team approach involving doc- tors, nurses, social workers, dietitians, physiotherapists, volunteer visitors, family and friends, clergy, and whoever else can help a terminally ill patient live as well as possible until he she dies. As a result of the needs in the area of care for the ter- minally ill expressed by the people at the June '86 meeting, a committee known as the Hospice Durham Steering Commit- tee was formed. For the past two years the members have been gathering on a monthly basis to decide how to pro- ceed with the meeting of the needs. A survey of needs was conducted by a University of Toronto Health Ad- ministration student who worked with the support of both the committee and the Region of Durham Health Council to identify if the needs expressed by the committee members were indeed needs to which others in the community and health care fields could relate. This survey would This Space Could Be Yours For $9 PER WEEK prove helpful when seeking funding for the establish- ment of Hospice Durham. As well, an education evening for health care professionals was held at Durham College in September of 1989 to ad- dress the whole issue of care for the terminally ill in erne, hospital, nursing home, or wherever the pa- tient might be. Dr. John Scott from the Elizabeth Bruyere Hospice in Ottawa was guest speaker for the event. Bylaws to govern the ad- ministration of an organization such as Hospice Durham were drawn up. Finally, in May of 1990, almost two vears from the original meeting, the committee felt it had reached a point where it could cease to steer and, in- stead, become a body or group of people known as Hospice Durham. Many of the original steering committee com- mitted themselves as foun- ding members of Hospice Durham, the bylaws were accepted, and a nominating committee was struck to address the establishment of a Board of Directors who were to be sought from various fields of endeavour and from all areas of Durham Region. Elected President of Hospice Durham was John Grady with Michelle Nichols as Vice - PRINTING 4 is . eek 11068 Chairmaan: Linda Garvin, Secretary; and Don Hargest, Treasurer.

September 12, 1990 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Voter Anger Expressed b_v Bob Watson Voters went to the polls in Ontario last week and finally expressed their anger at political parties in power. New Progressive Conservative leader Mike Harris was unable to get to most voters who are heavy in anger and disgust at the lousy leadership by Brian Mulroney. Premier David Peterson, unfortunately for him, has lived in a nice vacuum the last few years and was not even listen- ing to the electorate. His high taxes especially on Metro Toronto and area residents, added to the voter discontent. Imagine the reaction of a Metro area voter who goes for his licence to drive his car and finds he or site has to pay $.90 now while his cousin in Barrie is still at $60! Some equality! So the voters - in most areas - decided to kick both senior parties in the butt and give the New Democrats a chance! North York didn't seem to go for the new wave but other areas clobbered the Liberals and Conservatives. A Touch Of Humanity by Tom Mitchell -Numbers are impersonal. When Statistics Canada reports on social problems such as low income or unemployment. you find out the numbers of persons af- fected but little about the actual hardships they faced and whether thev recovered. This gap between poverty or job loss as presented in cold and clinical language by statisticians and what these social catastrophes mean in huunan terms Will never disappear. But statisticians are finding that the study of individual ex- periences with such social problems. taken at several points over time. can prmide new insights. As one would expect. there is a high-powered statistical name for this new kind of information - longitudinal micro - data. Simply stated. it mean returning to the same data source (a single group of people, households, farms or business establishments) several times after the initial con- tact, seeing how things have changed as time has passed. This kind of statistical bird-dogging can turn up informa- tion that isn't provided by the more usual cross-sectional surveys. For example, it can pinpoint the events that trig- gered a descent into poverty, show how long the condition lasted and what happened to enable a recovery. Keeping tabs on midividuals exposed to a health risk could show its effects over the years. Watching the history of small firms could shove the number of jobs created as they mature and how their productivity and profitability developed over the years - Cross -sectional surveys do not produce this kind of infor- mation. The individuals or firms participating in each survey change over tme. Even in rotating surveys such as those for the labour force or employment. payroll and hours, individual respondents are "in" for just six months or a year, not long enough to monitor change properly. An example from the U.S points up the value of longitudinal data. Information on U.S. poverty in the 19706 indicated the numbers and characteristics of poor families remained about the same over time. This was a nice fit with the idea that poor families tended to remain poor and that once a family received social welfare, it developed a reliance on such welfare and became trapped. But when data were collected at the individual family level over time, the results showed that only half of those families living in poverty one year were found to be poor the next. Clearly• many families receiving social assistance needed it only over the short term. They were able to regroup and recover. The cross-sectional surveys on income distribution had shown only the percentage of families with low income and any change in that percentage vis-a-vis the nest of the population. The new information depicted the flow of families into and out of low-income situations. This provid- ed a better factual background for policy -makers. Collection of longitudinal micro -data is not free of pro- blems. Some are technical in nature (for example, how to take account of changes over the years in a household - because of births, deaths, divorces - or a business - births, deaths• mergers• changes in activity, etc.). Protection of privacy is a major concern. And longitudinal micro -data can be costly to produce. But on balance, the benefits to be gained seem im- pressive. given the costs of today's social programs. Good information is needed if these costs are to be kept within af- fordable limits. news ,�ost Published every Wednesday by Watson Publishing Company Limited, Est. 1950 Postal Address: Box 111, Agincourt, Ont.

Mainstream Canada Storm warning By Terry O Shaughnessv Small business owners are worried. Results of a recent survey, compiled by the Canadian Fed- eration of Independent Busi- ness, show that the country's small business community is pessimistic, and getting more so, every day. The "Small Busi- ness Barometer" survey, con- ducted at six-month intervals, attempts to measure the over - "economic outlook of small and medium-sized businesses. With fully 71 per cent of respon- dents expecting the economy to get weaker (a startling increase from November 1989 which showed 47 per cent of respon- dents pessimistic about the eco- nomic future), the lune 1990 survey is an important signal that the economy is, at the very least, in trouble. Catherine Swift, CFIB vice president of research and chief economist, says that although small business owners' views on the economy have been growing increasingly pessimistic since the first survey was conducted in 1988, this recent survey shows the most abrupt decline to date. And, adds Swift, as smaller firms tend to feel the pinch of adverse economic conditions earlier than their larger counter- parts, the implications of these results for Canada's economic outlook are not promising. "For example," says Swift, "last November 31 per cent of small business owners said the. expected to increase full-time employment in the following six months. However, this has now dropped to only 15 per cent who have similar plans for the last half of 1990." Swift points out that the three top reasons cited by respondents for their pessimism are: lower sales' expectations; the Bank of Canada's high interest rate policy; and the fed- eral government's proposed Goods and Services Tax. "While high interest rates are a traditional enemy of small business," says Swift, "this sur- vey marks the first time that the GST has been among the top three concerns for small busi- ness owners. The state of small and medium-sized business expectations as outlined in this survey indicates that them could not be a worse time to iruroduce such a sweeping tax change as the GST " Swift adds that it's always significant when the small busi- ness community becomes pes- simistic about the future state of the economy. –These people are by nature optimistic—a key factor in mak- ing this sector the major job creation force in the country," she says. "How these then and women perceive the state of the economy has a large bearing not only on the future empkWmient situation, but on the heakh of the economy overall." And while it's true that some of the economic var- iables damaging business prospects—notably interest rates and the exchange rate— are not completely under the control of Canadian policy- rhakers, there is one important exception: the GST. A delay of one year, Swift points out, would permit economic condi- tions to stabilize, enable con- sumers and businesses to become better informed about the tax, and allow for the max- imum degree of harmoniza- tion between the GST and provincial sales tax regimes. Business owners are sig- naling their distress. It's now up to the federal government to respond. f --FPB F"1t" SWV" A large number from the Blue Knights Motorcycle Club assembled in the Scarborough Civic Centre parking lot last Saturday to kick off their annual Christmas assistance pro- gram for the Salvation Army. Each motorcyclist brought one or more toys for the Salvation Army to distribute at Christmas. The Metro Police Precision Motorcycle Squad led the bikers over a 28 mile route in Scarborough and Toronto. rPhoto - Bob Watson) Here and There A Native Person Viewpoint Before every Canadian gets emotional about native peoples rights and hands over masses of land, self- government and money from our taxes to these people, let's listen to a few things. In an interview on CFRB radio station a Mohawk warrior was asked to comment on why more Indians were not leav- ing the reserve in case the army and the warriors came into conflict. His answer was "they don't have anywhere to go. After all this is their land. If you are French you could go to France and if you are English you could go to England". That rather leaves those of us who are manly generations Canadian with French or English backgrounds hanging in mid-air! Most of is have no relatives in the original homeland - and besides this is our homeland, at least we thought it was! But it laves the impression that our native peoples seem to believe that all of us are immigrants and they are the on- ly ones with rights to land in this country. $50.000 To Theatre Plus A capital grant of $50,000 has been awarded to Theatre Plus. The grant will be used to assist Theatre Plus in meeting the costs of creating a new stage. This stage will expand the existing stage area in the Jane Mallet Theatre at The St. Lawrence Centre. Darlington Reactor Reaches Full Power Unit 2 at the Darlington nuclear generating statim reach- ed 100 percent power for the first time on July 4, 1990. The [unit produced a peak of 420 megawatts. The timing could not have been better as the same day Ontario Hydro ex- penennced a summer demand record of 2D,460 megawatts. Reaching 100 percent of reactor power is one of the $mal tests the trot must pass before it can be declared commer- cial. Grants For Publishing Organizations Three Canadian publishing organizations based in On- tario will receive a total of $61,363 in cultural industries grants. A grant of $30,865.50 will be used by the Canadian Book Information Centre to promote Canadian books to new, untapped U.S. markets. The centre's catalogues will be distributed by mail and at bookfairs to U.S. booksellers, libraries and teachers. The Boric and Periodical Development Council will use a grant of $25,000 for a feasibility study on the establishment of a national book and periodical marketing council. The Canadian Magazine Publishers Association will be award- ed $5,497 for their library marketing plan reflecting the Association's commitment to the library market, and researching possible ways to focus more attention on Cana- dian magazines. Purchases and Imports Ontario Hydro purchased 953,000 megawatt -hours of elec- tricity during July 1990 at a cost of $37 million. During the same period, revenues from the sale of 47,300 megawatt - hours of electricity to other utilities were approximately $1.1 million. i Give A Gift That Lasts All Year!

Sept. 16th at more than 500 run sites across Ontario. The Ontario campaign has set an ambitious goal of raising $3.0 million but Breeda McClew, Ontario Provincial Director, is un- daunted by the challenge. "Last year people in On- tario generously con- tributed more than one third of the total $6.2 million raised in Canada," she explained. "In 1989 we finally surpassed the amount raised in Ontario in 1981 when the country was carried on a wave of emo- tion following Terry's death. We know that On- tarians will continue to sup- port Terry's dream of fin- ding a cure for cancer," the director said. The Run has grown steadily each year. 1.* Ontairio Science Centre September Events The Ontario Science Cen- tre is offering some in- teresting events during the month of September.

September 12, 1990 Bill Watt ON STAGE ONE: Sarafina! which has just opened at the Royal Alex- • andra has a finale equalled only by that of A Chorus Line. How's that for the opening line of a review? So, are we going to deliver a puff? Not really. You see, we're still of two minds about Sarafina and we expect many viewers will be as well. If one is ex- pecting a flat out song and dance review, one will be disappointed. If one ex- pects a social commentary, disappointment will still be experienced. In trying to be both, Sarafina! flirts with s Worlds being neither. Briefly, it is the story in song and dance of the Blacks' long struggle against apartheid. Fair enough if you like that sort of thing. Personally, we don't. We consider ourself sufficiently au courant of the evils of the world and don't care to experience it in the theatre. Neither do we appreciate the near sanctification of Nelson Mandela and Desmond Tutu who are right up there, in our opinion, with Eamon Devalera.

We do love song and dance, however, and those interludes of same in Sarafina! we found to be enjoyably exciting. A qualification is extended however; it'd be nice to know what the performers are saying. The South African accent is so heavy and so theatrically declaimed as to be almost unintelligible to our Anglo- Saxon ear. Anyway, the narrative is played out by what appears to be the student body at state run Morris Isaacson High School in Soweto. Their touchstone is Sarafina, a bright youngster with tragedy in her memory and a deter- mination for change in her heart. She is played with verve and fervour by 20 year old IAeti Khumalo. The young lady sings and dances with a robustness that only youth can claim. In fact, along with the rest of the company she thrusts an energy that makes the choreography look something more intricate than mere ( mere!) folk And over all, she has the most enchanting smile one is likely to encounter in a lifetime and we don't mean simply a lifetime of theatre going - The rest of the cast names are difficult to scramble out so we will not Stage Centre Productions 14th sem, "1990 - 1991 SEASON309 ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST Funny, touching, and exciting!

She plays it, or has been so directed, in the manner of a yuk, yuk queen in early exploitation musicals. Rather annoying and most certainly embar- rassing. Once again we are going to risk critical reticence by suggesting that each member of an audience will have to make his or her own determination of Sarafina! We stand, however, by our opening statement. ON STAGE TWO: It's confession time, Though we have long known and loved the music from Johann Strauss, Jr.'s The Gypsy Baron, we had never seen a production of it; not, that is, until atten- ding its recent opening night engagement at the Bluma Appel Theatre. This production is under the auspices of Toronto Operetta Theatre ( T.O.T. ) and what a charming one it is. The thing one must understand about operetta is that it is not to be taken seriously. The story lines are usually silly, there is no real villains, only buffoons, the men are always hand- some and the ladies are always beautiful. And, oh yes, the plot must be labyrinthine. One attends operetta to forget one's worries for a few brief hours of lightheartedness with superb music played and sung by talented artists in gorgeous costumes. The Gypsy Baron might almost be the quintessen- tial operetta, a true Vienna bon bon. We won't even attempt a plot outline in the too brief space allotted. Let it sid- fice that it all turns out as it should and overlook the fact that the ladies have all turned white haired at the end while the men have not changed at all with the passage of years. That's the way with operetta; such details are unimpor- tant. What is important is the music and its performance. The score of The Gypsy Baron is arguably one of Strauss' finest and it is given full measure of worth and enjoyment in this pro- duction. Mark Dubois plays the ti- tle role. He is, of cease, handsome but it is his ex- cellent voice that en- trances. At first exposure it seems almost light but it is not. It is ineffably sweet but having said that, let it be recorded that it never cloys. Stephanie Bogle as his Gypsy sweetheart counter- points him nicely but we were rather more taken with Monica Zerbe as her supposed mother, "an old gypsy woman". Even makeup could not make her any less than a tall, savagely splendid object of our desire. She sings well too. David Walden is suitably comic as a wealthy pig farmer and Monica Wolf as his daughter is bucolically regal. Her sweetheart is nicely played by Torin Chiles but one wishes he hadn't been almost literal- ly saddled with a red fright wig that makes him look like a young Harpo Marx.

Community Sports Notes Swimmers Attend Olympic Rally by Muriel Warden Mayor Joyce Trimmer wants her support book for the Toronto '96 Olympics Bid to be "chock full" of Scarborough citizens' signatures when she tucks it under arm and flies to Tokyo next week. An Olympic Bid Rally at the Scarborough Town Cen- tre last Sat. Sept. 8th was designed to provide thousands of Scar- boroughites the opportum- ty to sign the Bid Book and at the same time meet a few former Olympians, Para -Olympians and future hopeful Olympians. Some great shots of the last 100 years of the Games were continuously shown on a video machine. Posters, souvenirs, lovely T-shirts and sweatshirts were available for sale. Joyce Devonshire and ber Scarborough commit- tee provided an excellent "quick -stop" educational overview of what the Olym- pics would bring to Toronto and Scarborough. Mayor Trimmer, Bruce Fleury, commissioner of parks and recreation, David Creech, commis- sioner of finance and several other dignitaries were on hand to lend their support. The Scarborough Swim Club swimmers, themselves future Olympic prospects and major en- thusiasts for a 50 metre pool in Scarborough, were on hand to add colour and youthful support to this ral- ly. The mayor had great praise for Scarborough's swimmers who have com- peted across the country and in Britain this past swim season. Liz Warden, Kerri Ford, Stephanie Wilkinson, Jana Vordemberge, Naomi Ford, Heather Johnson, Heather Palmateer, Jeff Guest, Casey Cheung and Bob Hayes were all wear- ing the Olympic T-shirts presented to them by the Scarborough Bid Commit- tee before their summer tour to Britain. They carried the message of our city's Olympic Bid to Scar- borough, England and to Leeds where they were competing in the British Age -Group Champion- ships. The trip to England was the climax of an exciting swim season in which these youngsters travelled to several meets. In January, it was to Regina, in February, Ottawa, in March, Halifax and in May, Sudbury. Swimmers who qualify for the meets get the club's support to at- tend. Many swimmers of secondary school age are attending the Elite Athlete program at Birchmount Collegiate, which caters the academic program to the sport workload of their students. A new swim season is about to get underway in mid September. Scar- borough Swim Aub will be holding try -outs for their four levels of competitive training on Sept. 17th and 18th at Birchmount Pool from 6 to 7:30 p.m. For fur- ther information call the swim club office, 266-4531 daily, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Woburn Cl Ontario Scholars Bryce Aqui ton W.7% x Steve Dandzurovski 80.2% ..ice// s INL 1�1 . .

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 persons 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 there 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 your nearest Elementary School, your police force or the manager at any office of Canada Trust Realtor. PICKERING RINGETTE Ringette is a sport just for girls! It is a unique Canadian winter skating sport in which a straight stick is used to pass, carry and shoot a round rubber ring to score goals.
