Tough Decisions
by Bob Watson
On Wednesday Metro Toronto Council is faced with some
very tough decisions on its budget. Almost all departments
are using more money than was planned
The police dept. has had to put officers in the provincial
courts and has many constables tied up in lower courts
where speedy decisions are almost impossible to get.
The Community Services Dept. has been left to look after
more and more welfare cases by the Ontario government
and to cut here is very difficult.
Bad weather on the weekends has lowered attendance at
the Metro Zoo and so it is running into a deficit.
Of course, unlike the provincial and federal governments
local governments are required to balance their yearly
budgets and not going into deficit financing.
So the Metro Council faces some very tout decisions this
week to get to the end of 1990 without a deficit.
Young Offenders Act
To the Editor
This weekend's murder of a Scarborough teenager and
the previous murder of another Scarborough teenager a
few weeks ago have prompted us today to start a Scar-
borough promotion at various stores to obtain more
signatures on our Anti-Y.O.A. Petition.
Murder sentencing in adult courts will be fundamentally
weakened and lead the way to more lenient sentencing for
all criminal offences, with the passage of Bill C-58 presently
before the Parliament of Canada, an act to amend the
Young Offenders Act.
The above bill if passed will mean rmmmurn parole
eligibility for convicted 1st & 2nd degree teenage
murderers judicially transferred to adult courts will be
lowered to (5 to 10 veats) from the present 10 to 25 years.
and under the Equality Guarantees of the Charter of Rights
such earlier parole for murder will have to be passed on to
other older adults in the same courts, and when the
parolable sentence for murder is set at a minimum of 5
years then all other criminal convictions will result in
substantially lower sentences than the 5 years minimum for
the ultimate crime of murder.
The above is government policy and should tell us quite
clearly that the intention of sentence reform is to reduce
sentencing and obviously the strategy to meet this end is to
use the Y.O.A. as a wedge through Bill C-58 to eventually
lower sentences for virtualh' all criminal offences. Let your
M.P. know your wishes before it is too late and Bill C-58 is
passed into law.
Yours truly
Gordon Domm
Spokesman Coordinator

Sentences.
STATFACTS
Of all secretaries with post -secondary qualifications in
1996, most t69%I had studied secretarial science. Statistics
Canada figures show. About 8% had studied comaterce,
management or business administration.
The number of women enrolled in full-time secretarial
science programs at community colleges rose to 13,700 in
1996 from 10,900 in 1977, then declined to 12,800 by 1968, ac-
cording to figures from Statistics Canada.
There were 3,500 community college graduates in
secretarial science in 1996 and 98% of them were women,
according to Statistics Canada figures. They made up just
over 10% of all women college graduates that year.
Over the past decade, sales of alcoholic beverages have
hovered around 2.5 billion litres a year. But revenue
generated by their sales has climbed steadily, even when
the volume went do -am. Here are some Statistics Canada
facts and figures on alcohol.
In the fiscal year ended March 31, 1989, there were 2,536
million litres of alcoholic beverages sold (down 19 million
litres from the previous year), Statistics Canada figures
show. Volume decreases were recorded for all three types
of alcoholic beverage - spirits, wine and beer. The dollar
value of sales rose, however, to $9,583 million from $9,207
million the previous year.

Elusive High -Tech Light
Bulbs Now Easy To Find
will saving energy and protecting the environment be
enough to persuade Ontano consumers to spend $15 for a
light bulb?
Ontario Hydro and Loblaws Companies think it will.
Loblaws will be promoting energy efficient compact
Duorescent light bulbs under the label "President's Choice
G. R. E. E. N. Environmentally Responsible Electronic Light
Bulbs" for sale across Ontario. Featured in the Insider's
Report to be distributed Saturday, these bulbs use about
one quarter the electricity used by conventional bulbs of
comparable wattage. And they last ten times longer.
To encourage consumers to buy these bulbs, Ontario
Hydro will provide a $5 rebate on compact fluorescent light
bulbs purchased at Loblaws, Zehrs and SuperCentm stores
between Sept. 17 and Dec. 29. This will bring the expected
cost to the consumer to $14.99. The rebate coupons will be
honoured until Jan. 31, 1991.
"We've had many calls from consumers interested in
saving electricity wtto have been unable to find compact
fluorescents in local stores, so we were delighted to join
with Loblaws," said Dane MacCarthy, Ontario Hydro's
Vice President of Energy Management.
In addition to the Insider's Report, L "aws will support
the promotion with a TV commercial. Hydro will use billing
inserts and print and transit advertising.
MacCarthy explained that for Hydro, this $750,000 pro-
gram is a pilot, "to test the waters" for its more extensive
lighting incentive program which will begin next year.
"Right now, our goals are to help make compact
fluorescents accessible to the average consumer - energy
efficient lighting is already used by many businesses - and
to overcome the distribution hurdle products often en-
counter in a new market. Most stores don't stock the bulbs
because there hasn't been a market for them to date, and
there hasn't been a market because stores haven't stocked
them. We're expecting this campaign with Loblaws will
help change that," 'MacCarthy said.
A 15 -watt compact fluorescent light bulb saves 75 percent
of the energy used by a regular 60 watt bulb and so is most
cost-effective in high -use fixtures. And that is tow use of
this bulb can help the environment: over the course of the
year, switching a high -use 60 watt bulb to a 15 watt bulb
could prevent the burning of an amount of energy
equivalent to burning 90 pounds (40 kg) of coal and conse-
quently, the emission of 190 pounds (85 kg) of greenhouse
gases.

Second Interim Report On The Future Of The Toronto Waterfront
Treasury Board Presi-
dent and Environment
Minister Robert de Cotret
have welcomed recommen-
dations of the Royal Com-
mission on the Future of
the Toronto Waterfront as
"setting the stage for
restoring the environmen-
tal health of the Lake On-
tario waterfront in the
Greater Toronto area."
"I fully support the com-
prehensive ecosystems ap-
proach that the Commis-
sion has adopted and which
is integral to the Great
Lakes Water Quality
Agreement," Mr. de Cotret
said. "We look forward to
the response to the Com-
mission's proposals by all
interested parties, par-
ticularly the Government
of Ontario, as most of the
recommendations flow
from Mr. Crombie's pro-
vincial mandate."
Mr. de Cotret noted that
the report underscores the
need for full consultation.
"The federal government
has an important role to
play in responding to
`Watershed' and we will do
our full share within our
jurisdiction," he said.
Mr. de Cotret described
the commission's proposal
for a Centre for Green
Enterprise and Industry as
among the "more intrigu-
ing and innovative" ideas
in the report. "This is one
of many recommendations
that underscore the need
for partnerships such as
those we've envisaged
through the Green Plan
consultation process," he
said. "The federal govern-
ment will explore the Com-
mission's proposals in
detail with Ontario and
other interested parties."
The government will be
looking closely at recom-
mendations to increase
public access to the water-
front or to transfer federal
lands along the waterfront
to other levels of govern-
ment.
For example, the report
mentions federal property
at the mouth of the Credit
River, and HMCS York. In
assessing these recommen-
dations, the government

tional and open apple pies.
The contest sponsor is

Children seven to 12
years old can also try their
skills in making an apple
pie or cake in the kitchen of
the Samuel Stong Home.
Register on arrival. This is
a popular program run on a
first come, first served
basis. There will also be a
harvest quiz for the kids.
Elizabeth Baird. author
of several cookbooks and
food director of Canadian
Living magazine, will
demonstrate how to make a
great Dutch apple pie on
Sunday at 1:15 p.m. and
2:30 p.m. Baird has a par-
ticular interest in heritage
recipes.
Apples were used in an
extraordinary variety or
ways by the 19th century
Ontario settlers. They were
an important source of food
and drink, and were even
used as a cure for rough
skin and stomachache. The
settlers made apple leather
snacks, butter, cider, jelly,
jam and dried apple rings.
Throughout the weekend,
the Village interpreters
will prepare these foods at
their hearths and wood
stoves. Visitors can buy
cups of cider in The Half
Way House, scones with ap-
ple butter at the Tea Room
and. on Sunday, after the
baking contest, apple pie
by the slice at the Town
Hall.
Fresh fruit was a big
treat for the settlers. Ap-
ples were carefully packed
in straw, sawdust, sand or
moss and stored in cool,
dry cellars where they
stayed fresh for months.
The settlers enjoyed marry
varieties of apples rarely
found today. Some of these
can be purchased at the
Laskay Emporium during
the Apple Harvest.
The wood of apple trees
was often used for fuel and
whittling. Childen would
play with toy animals carv-
ed from apple wood and
dolls with a dried apple for
a head. Visitors will be able
to see apple dolls at the
Village and learn, in
special demonstrations,
how they are made.
Harvest time was always
celebrated with music. Ian
Bell, an authority on 19th -
century music. will per-
form throughout the
Village on Sunday from 12
noon to 3 p. m. As well, a
magician will put on a Vic-
torian era magic show on
Saturday and Sunday from
1 to 4 p.m.

be allowed to achieve their
operational and financial
mandates," he said. "This
includes the responsibility
to act reasonably and
prudently when developing
or selling their property."

presented a useful
framework for discussing
the future of the Toronto
Harbour Commissioners,"

Meals On Wheels Gives Wonderful Feeling To Those Who Volunteer
"It's a wonderful feeling
to be a bright spot in so-
meone's life!" says Bar-
bara Gyles, a volunteer
delivering meals in her
own community as well as
serving as president of
Meals on Wheels of On-
tario. "Assisting people to
maintain their dignity and
independence in their own
homes is a worthwhile ob-
jective," she added.
Last year, 43,000
Book Clubs Encourage
Adufts To Be Own Critics
Siskel and Ebert have
nothing over the members
of the popular book clubs
which meet at branches of
the City of Scarborough
Public Library Board.
These clubs not only offer
adults an opportunity to
read top authors and in-
teresting titles, but they
also give members a
chance to praise or pan-fry
these offerings in front of a
group of other critical
readers.
"In September our book
club will be reading
Virunga, a book about Dian
Fossey written by Farley
Mowat," says Sheryl
Hyland of Maryvale
Branch Library. "The
books are selected by the
staff following discussions
with the club. Each
miember receives a copy of
the upcoming book one
month before the next
meeting...
"It's interesting when
the members talk about
some of the more con-
troversial books," Hyland
comments. "The discus-
sions get very lively."
Lynn Cober of Taylor
Memorial Branch talked
about some of the most
popular books their group
discussed.
"Cat's Eye by Margaret
Atwood was one of the bet-
ter ones," Calber recalled,
"and a non-fiction book en-
titled "Paddle To The
Amazon" by Don Starkell,
which described a trip up
the Amazon River by
canoe, went over really
well. Next month
(September) we will be
reading "Bonfire Of The
Vanities" by Tom Wolfe."
For information on these
and the many other book
clubs at the City of Scar-
borough Public Library,

Vaccination Competition
The Scarborough Health
Department has set up a
competition for all Scar-
borough nursing homes
and chronic care facilities
to see which organization
can achieve the highest
number of influenza vac-
cinations this year.
They've named it "Big
Shot Challenge '90"
Marylyn Pritchard, pro-
gram manager with the In-
spection Services Division
of the Scarborough Health
Department, says the
challenge will help remind
those most at risk for in-
fluenza to get vaccinated.
"Ibe one consistent pro-
blem we see year after
year is people not getting
their flu shots," Pritchard
said. "In some health care
facilities, as many as W%
of the residents are not vac-
cinated. We wanted to point
this problem out but in a
fun way and the Big Shot
Challenge '90 is a first step
in this process...
The objective is for the
institutions themselves to
first promote the flu shot
and then account for the
number of residents who
actually get vaccinated.
Facilities to achieve 85%
resident and 60%
staff, volunteer vaccina-
tions will be awarded a
special certificate
documenting their achieve-
ment.

Shot Challenge '90 call the

WHEREAS ... information is essential to the community
for personal growth. recreation and
education, and
WHEREAS... it is recognized that the public library
provides an essential and vital service to
the community, and
WHEREAS... the City of Scarborough Public Library
Board has a wide range of special
programmes organized for the week,
I hereby proclaim the week of

ONTARIO PUBLIC LIBRARY WEEK
in the City of Scarborough
and encourage all citizens to visit their
local public library during the week and
participate in the many planned activities
and to visit their library throughout the

Joyce Trimmer, Mayor
City of Scarborough
volunteers across Ontario
actively shared this
philosophy. They showed
their concern for their
neighbours by delivering
2,000,00 hot, nourishing
meals to 66,000 clients who
are not as mobile as they
once were.
Scarborough Support
Services is part of this pro-
vincial network which
grows larger each year. It
has over 300 volunteers in
the community who give
23,000 hours each year.
Meals on Wheels Week is
celebrated annually to
recognize these dedicated
volunteers.
Meals on Wheels support
Is often for a short term
period because a person is
convalescing but it can be
for longer periods.
It is evident from
demographic projections
that the need for Meals on
Wheels in our communities
is only going to escalate.
The provincial government
has recognized this fact by
instituting a Long Term
Care Reform to the social
service system in Ontario.
Volunteers and staff of
Scarborough Support Ser-
vices have attended the
forum co-sponsored by the
Ministry of Health and the
Ministry of Community
and Social Services ouW&
ing plans to utilize
available resources and
assess what is needed in
the future. Meals on
Wheels is considered an in-
tegral part of this planning
for in-home services.
This is an open invitation
to the people in the com-
munity to join in bringing
warmth into a neighbour's
life.

.Bill Watt's Worlds
AT THE OPERA:
When music lovers muse
over who is the world's
finest composer -a fruitless
consideration in any case -
what they really mean is
which composer's works do
they most enjoy. For us it is
Tchaikovsky. Mozart and
Bach were better com-
posers unquestionably but
it is the music of the in-
spired Russian that most
touches our emotions.
Moreover, we enjoy his
compositions in each and
all of the four major forms
of musical endeavour; pro-
gram music, absolute
music, ballet and opera.
Eugene Onegin in cur-
rent presentation by the
Canadian Opera Company
at The O'Keefe is the
master's triumph
with; over the spoken sung
word. It is also a
manifestation of his skill as
a librettist.
The focus is not on
Onegin but rather. Tatyana
whose love he has refused
because he does not love
himself.
This in no way
diminishes the original
verse novel of Pushkin; it
simply explores the suffer-
ing of Tatyana instead of
the discontent of the satur-
nine Onegin.
Such is the power of the
libretto that Eugene
Onegin might well have
been wildly successful as
an opera even without the
music of Tchaikovsky.
With it, the work becomes a
well deserved triumph.
The music is well served
in this handsome produc-
tion. Carol Vaness as Ta-
tyana has quite the truest
soprano voice we've heard
for several years now. So
sweet and true is it that she
could -possibly does for all
we know -essay coloratura
and make that most dif-
ficult discipline her slave.
In a fine piece of casting,
Russian baritone Sergei
Leiferkus portrays the
troubled Onegin. His voice
is strong; so strong that it
approaches bass but still
capable of powerful emo-
tion. Miss Vaness and Mr.
Leiferkus are a well nigh
perfect team.
John Graham -Hall holds
his own in the more or less
twittish role of Lenski and
does so with the purity of
his high tenor. One
suspects he's probably
capable of falsetto.
Luise Winter as Olga. Ta-
lyana's sister and Lenski's
fiancbe is convincing in her
bubbly role though we must
confess our continuing
curiosity over the pairing

of. a mezzo-soprano with a
tenor.
If there is fault to be
found with any of the
singers it is not possible for
us. All performed with the
skill and elan of soloists.
We would like, however, to
single out Gwynne Howell
for his truly magnificent
bass solo in the role of Ta-
tyana's elderly husband.
One does not always realize
the intense emotion that
can be generated by a
superb bass voice. Mr.
Howell makes us
remember.
Richard Bradshaw con-
ducted the lush score with
obvious affection and
Director John Copley was
firmly in command of the
troops.
There are so many fine
things to be said about this
production that one simply
doesn't have the space.
We can only conclude by
saving that if one loves
Tchaikovsky and also loves
opera then an evening with
Eugene Onegin is an even-
ing to be treasured.

Best selling authoress
Charlotte Vale Allen once
sang at the old Steele's
Tavern (great Chocolate
eclairs as we recall) and
shared centre stage with
Gordon Lightfoot. It'd be
tempting to say that we
remember her but in truth
we don't.
Miss Allen still maintains
a home in Toronto but
spends only as much time
in it as she does in her Con-
necticut home -half and

She is now international-

Her latest is Painted

them both as soon as we

much attention to those
chocolate eclaires.
SLUSH FUND:
In the days when ships'
cooks boiled up huge ket-
tles of salt pork or beef, the
"slush" (fat) that rose to
the top was carefully skim-
med off and preserved in
casks. In port, the slush
was sold to makers of soap,
tallow candles and the like.
The proceeds were the
..slush fund" used to buy
little luxuries or treats for
the crew.
Political slush funds also
buy unofficial luxuries -
though seldom, it seems,
small ones -for the "crews"
of legislative bodies and
government bureaus.

grant you but it keeps com-
ing to mind as we reflect on
the pitiful state of Canada's

Celebrate Apple Harvest
The zesty smell and tan g
of apples will be
everywhere at Black Creek
Pioneer Village during the
annual Apple Harvest
festivities on Oct. 13 and 14.
Home bakers can put
their pies to the test in the
"Bake It With Apples" con-
test. Judging takes place
on Sunday from 12:30 to 3
p.m. The baking contest
features prizes, ribbons
and plaques for both tradi-
tional and open apple pies.
The contest sponsor is
Canada Packers Inc.,
maker of Tenderflake lard.
Children seven to 12
years old can also try their
skills in making an apple
pie or cake in the kitchen of
the Samuel Stong Home.
Register on arrival. This is
a popular program run on a
first come, first served
basis. There will also be a
harvest quiz for the kids.
Elizabeth Baird, author
of several cookbooks and
food director of Canadian
Living magazine, will
demorhsstrate how to make a
great dutch apple pie on
Sunday at 1:15 p.m. and
2:30 p.m. Baird has a par-
ticular interest in heritage
recipes.
Apples were used in an
extraordinry variety of
ways by the 19th century
Ontario settlers. They were
an important source of food
and drink, and were even
used as a cure for rough
skin and stomach ache.
The settlers made apple
leather snacks, butter,
cider. jelly, jam and dried
apple rings.
Throughout the weekend,
the village interpreters will
prepare these foods at their
hearths and wood stoves.
Visitors can buy cups of
cider in the Half Way
Horse, scones with apple
butter at the Tea Room
and, on Sunday, after the
baking contest, apple lie
by the slice at the Town
Hall.
Fresh fruit was a big
treat for the settlers. Ap-
ples were carefully packed
in straw, sawdust, sand or
moss and stored in cod,
dry cellars where they
stayed fresh for months.
The settlers enjoyed many
varieties of apples rarely
founk' today. Some of these
can oe purchased at the
Lask-ay Emporium during
the Apple Harvest.
The wood of apple trees
was often used for fuel and
whittling. Children woWd
play with toy animals carv-
ed from apple wood and
dolls with a dried apple for
a head. Visitors will be able
to see apple dolls at the
village and learn in special
demonstrations, how they
are made.
Harvest time was always
celebrated with music. Ian
Bell, an authority on 19th
century music, will per-
form throughout the village
on Sunday from 12 noon to 3
p.m. As well, a magician
will put on a Victorian era
magic show on Saturday
and Sunday from 1 to 4 p.m.
Black Creek Pioneer
Village is located at Jane
St. and Steeles Ave., in nor-
thwest Metro Toronto.

Car Costs Now Over $500 Monthly
It now costs the average
Canadian more than $500 a
month to own and operate
an automobile, according
to the 3.3 million member,
not -tor -profit Canadian
Automobile Association
(CAA).
The CAA Car Costs
report is based on com-
putations provided by Run-
rheimer International, a
management consulting
firm which provides ser-
vices to accurately
measure casts of transpor-
tation, taxes, meals, goods
{a{,,,,,��..,,
and services, lodging and
•""�'e•
"Car Costs 1990-1991"
data reveals it costs
average Canadian
motorists $6,672 per year or
$556 per month to own and
operate their automobile.
..Car Costs" is based on a
1990 Ford Tempo GL with a
2.3 litre 4 cylinder engine
which is driven 24,000
kilometres per year. The
four -door sedan is equipped
with Standard features and
optional accessories in-
cluding AM -FM stereo,
automatic transmission,
power steering, power disc
brakes, rear window defog-
ger, speed control, tilt
steering wheel, engine
block heater and heavy-
duty battery.
While monthly costs
average $556, "Car Costs"
also reveals that expenses
vary from province to pro-
vince and according to the
size of the car. For in-
stance, owners of sub-
compact cars in a low-cost
province such as Al berta or
Saskatchewan have the
lowest expenses, at $470
per month.
On the other hand,
owners of full-size (8
cylinder) cars in high-cost
provinces such as Quebec
or Newfoundland can ex-
pect annual expenses of
$8,327 or $694 per month.
..Car Casts" figures show
hx7eases in both operating
and fixed costs as com-
pared to last year's figures.
Operating costs (those
directly related to the
number of kilometres
driven) increased by six
and a half per cent. They
include fuel and oil at 5.71
cents per kilometre,
maintenance at 1.68 cents
per kilometre, and tires at
0.76 cents per kilometre,
totalling 8.15 cents per
kilometre.
Ownership costs change
little with the amount
driven. These costs include
insurance ($100 deductible
comprehensive, $250
deductible collision,
$500,000 inclusive third par-
ty liability) at $?86 per
year: snow tires, $61 per
year: licence and registra-
tion, $84 per year,
depreciation, $2,760 per
year and finance expenses,
$1,025 per year. Ownership
costs totalled $1,716, up
14% from last year. Higher
finance expenses and
depreciation costs were the
main reasons for this in-
crease.
Calculations of operating
costs are made for annual
driving distances of 16,000,
24,000 and 32,000 kilometres
with gasoline priced at a
national average of $4.9
cents per titre. The majori-
ty of the increase can be at-
tributed to higher federal
and provincial taxes. The
federal excise tax on
gasoline, which all Cana-
dian motorists pay, has IIi-
creased one cent per litre

•'Chir Costs 19633990".
According to CAA Presi-
dent Michael McNeil,
Despite rising costs, the
automobile continues to
provide Canadians with the
only viable transporation
option allowing for per
sonal freedom and mobili-
ty. Motorists are subject to
governments' unfairness in
taxation policies, par-
ticularly as they relate to
motive fuels, due to the
essential nature of the
passenger autombile in
Canada and governments'
insatiable appetite for
more revenue."

New Chorus In Town
There's a new chorus on
the Toronto musical scene,
under the direction of Ar-
thur Wenk. The Toronto
Camerata, the city's only a
cappella chamber choir, is
seeking singers for its in-
augural season.
The twenty-four voice
mixed chorus draws its
repertoire from the entire
range of choral music,
from Bach to Bartok, from
plainsong to Stravinsky.
Each of the three programs
in the 19901991 season is
organized around a par-
ticular theme:
"Magnificat", a concert
framed around the
dialogue between Gabriel
and Mary, formalized in
the Ave Maria and the
Magnificat, with motets
and canticles by Britten,
Bruckner, Eccard,
Morales, Josquin, Kodaly,
Purcell, Schutz, and Vic-
toria, interspersed with
French, German and
English carols celebrating
the Annunciation; "Music
For Easter", settings of the
Easter hymn, "Vexilla
regis prodeunt", by Vic-
toria and Bruckner, Easter
motets by Byrd, Brahms,
Bruckner, Gabrieli, Lotti
and Victoria, and an or-
namented performance of
Bach's motet, "Jesu, mein
Freude" : "Spring
Returns", Enlish and
Italian madrigals, French
chansons, German Lieder
and Canadian folksongs
celebrating the season,
featuring Brahms' "Lieder
and Romanzen" and the
first Toronto performance
of Peter Schickele's "After
Spring Sunset".
Arthur Wenk has founded
and directed semi-
professional choruses in
Boston, Pittsburgh, and

Club Med 1 Discovers
Caribbean's Private Islands
With her sleek profile,
raked bow and five masts,
Club Med 1 launched in
February 1990, closely
resembles one of the
classic vessels built by 19th
century yachtsmen, such
as J.P. Morgan and Cor-
nelius Vanderbilt for their
private enjoyment.
The $100 million sailing
ship is fitted with tradi-
tionally nautical details
such as eight finely -crafted
Burmese teak decks. brass
portholes and mahogany
trim.
At the same time, the
ship is controlled with
state-of-the-art technology.
Non-polluting electric
engines produce up to 14
knots of speed. A com-
puterized ballast system
and retractable stabilizer
minimize the ship's angle
of heel and pitch. With a 4.2
m draft, the sailing vessel
can enter small isolated
harbors inaccessible to
other kinds of ships,
guaranteeing her guests
exclusive anchorages.
Qloice Of Itineraries
During Club Med 1's first
full fall and winter season
in the Caribbean, the 157 m
sailing ship will offer two
itineraries exploring
pristine Caribbean islands
that fortunate visitors con-
sidered well -guarded
secrets.
Passengers can select
routes departing from Mar-
tinique's lively Fort-de-
France for the Grenadines
or the Virgin Islands, even
combine each 7 -day sail for
a 14 -day odyssey.
The Southerly Grenadine
Route which inaugurated
the fall season on Sept. 29
includes such offbeat,
unspoiled islands as Be -
traditionally a whal-
ing port, and sophisticated
Mustique, a favorite of
rock stars and British
royals.
Special day anchorages
at uninhabited Tobago
Cays, tiny Mayreau with its
magnificent horseshoe
beach, Sandy Island,
Grenada and Barbados.
The Northern Route
which will alternate with
the Grenadines beginning
Nov. 17 offers stops at Les
Saintes, St. Barts and the
delightfully isolated
beaches of Jost Van Dyke;
Virgin Gorda, a mecca for
yachtsmen; St. Thomas
and St. Kitts.
On Board Amenities
Guests are welcomed on
board the Club Med 1 with a
fruit basket and split of
champagne. All 191 outside
staterooms are handsome
and comfortable: each
spacious cabin measures 17
square metres, has a twin
porthole view, and hand -
rubbed mahogany cabinet-
work.

In addition there are
several suites and all ac-
commodations can be
reserved single or double
occupancy. The decor is a
subtle combination of steel
blue, berry red and crisp
white; there is a mini -bar,
radio, and closed circuit
television as well. A ship -
to -shore telephone is
available in every cabin: it
can also be used to order
fresh towels and room ser-
vice.
For those that choose, a
continental breakfast is
delivered in the mornings
by a courteous steward,
who also turns down bed
linens every evening,
delivers the ship's own dai-
ly newspaper and, as a
finishing touch, deposits a
French chocolate on
freshly fluffed pillows.
Interior Design
Alberto Pinto, recently
recognized by architec-
tural Digest on their top 100
designers' list, created
elegant and understated
shipboard interiors to com-
pliment the stunning views
from long window galleries
on both port and starboard
sides. Muted color
schemes, Matisse -inspired
murals and prints, thick
pile carpeting, and richly
upholstered furnishings
create a soothing environ-
ment.
Special Features
Unlike other ships, the
Club Med 1 has select
capacity: only 396 guests
are welcomed on board by
the ship's staff. This in-
sures both seclusion and in-
timacy ;
n•timacy; passengers can
seek solitude in a teak
chaise lounge looking out
onto the sea. or be introduc-
ed to others with similar in-
terests during meals in the
ship's two restaurants.
The Odyssey, located on
the top deck, offers a
casual dining experience
and has an outdoor veran-
da for breakfast and lun-
cheon buffets.
La Loussiane, on the deck
directly below, is a formal
dining room with waiter
service and a la carte
menu. ( Complimentary
wine accompanies both
luncheon and dinner.) An
extensive wine list is also
available for an additional
charge.
Both restaurants have
single, unassigned
seatings. Afternoon tea,
complete with French
pastries, is served daily in
one of the ship's five stylish
cocktail lounges.
Club Med 1 offers guests
the privileges and attention
once reserved for
"megayacht" owners.
These include a Fitness
Centre with panoramic
view from the top deck,
pine saunas and licensed
massage therapists, a
discoteque, casino, 24-hour
room service, satelite
telecommunications, tann-
ing salon, and two swimm-
ing pools.

beach stretched as far as

were surfing on some days.
It was just the way we liked
it. Because Venezuela is so
close to the equator the sun
was very strong and very
hot. The sun came from

a small circle around your
feet, it was incredible.

with Rene Soetens, M.P.
Democracy means the rule of the people. In Canada, the
people rule through their dully elected representatives, who
are given a mandate to act on behalf of their constituents
for the duration of their term in office.
It is the right and duty of the elected government to act in
the best interests of the people of Canada. Conversely, it is
blatantly contrary to the principles of democratic govern-
ment that an unelected body should thwart the will of the
people's legitimate representatives. Yet this is exactly
what the unelected liberal Senators persist in doing.
These members of the Liberal -dominated Senate have
overstepped the traditional role of the Senate as the
Chamber of sober second thought. and transformed an ap-
pointed body into an extension of the opposition in the House
of Commons.
It is worth noting that between 1965 and 1984, the Liberal
Senate majority did not contest any measure proposed by
the Liberal Government, including the highly controversial
NEP legislation and the Scientific Research Tax Credits.
Also of note is the fact that between 1980 and 1984, only 9
bills were in the Senate more than one month. However,
from 1964 to the present, a staggering 50 bills took longer
than one month to pass in the Senate, including several
which are still blocked after more than 200 days. These tac-
tics, employed at an enormous cost to the taxpayer, are
aimed at delaying bills already passed by the elected
representatives of the people.
For example, a Liberal -dominated Senate gave swift
passage to major Unemployment Insurance reforms in-
troduced by a Liberal government in 1977 and 1978. This
stands in sharp contrast to the partisan treatment by the
Liberal Senate of current U.I. reforms, stalled for 219 days,
and counting.
While constituents are calling on their elected members
to implement expenditure control, the unelected Liberals in
the Senate are sitting on $8 billion in cuts!
These stalling tactics, already expensive in terms of the
costs involved in the legislative process. also slow the im-
plementation of programs and bills important to Ontario
Riding. Bill C-22, for example, the Drug Patent legislation,
was halted by the Liberal -dominated Senate for 196 days.
Yet this bill was vital in the development of such local con-
cerns as the Frssons Canada and Purdue Frederick
facilities in Pickering, the Leo Laboratories office in Ajax,
and the expansion of Sandoz Industries' operations in Whit-
by -
These are direct benefits to my riding that the unelected
Liberals delayed for more than six months.
Killing the GST would solve none of Canada's problemhs -
it would only compound them. And it is not the place of the
Senate to try to kill it. The unelected liberal Senators are
accountable to no one, and will never have to face the elec-
torate to answer for their actions. They cannot be allowed
to subvert the legitimate functioning of the elected govern-
ment.
