Prenatal Classes In Durham
Prenatal classes have
been available to expectant
parents for many years.
Those who attend classes
learn about pregnancy.
childbirth and newborn
care. They also make new
friends and enjoy the ex-
perience of sharing with
others who are preparing
for a new baby.
The Childbirth Education
Association of Durham pro-
vides prenatal classes for
those living in the Picker-
ing Ajax Scarborough
area. Early pregnancy•
labour and birth and
refresher classes are
available in a small group
setting.
The Childbirth Education
Association of Durham is a
member group of the Inter-
national (childbirth Educa-
tion Association whose
philosophy is .'freedom of
choice based on knowledge
of alternatives'. In class,
expectant parents learn
through discussions, group
activities, written
materials and watching
videos. Couples are en-
couraged to ask questions
in the group or individually
with the instructor.
Friendships are formed
within the group and
parents often continue to
see each other even after
their babies are born. And,
of course, the post parum
reunion, when the whole
class gets together with
their babies, is always ex-
citing and fun.
Classes are taught once a
week. There are three ear-
ly pregnancy claws in
which couples learn about
having a healthy pregnan-
cy, fetal development and
prenatal care. In the six
week labour and birth
classes, the process of
Childbirth, including labour
support and pain manage-
ment, is taught.
Refresher classes offer a
four week review to
parents having their se-
cond or third child. VBAC
(vaginal birth after
cesarean) and sibling
classes are also available.
All classes are taught by
qualified health care pro-
fessionals and/or certified
childbirth educators.

Council
Oks New
Ice Rink
by Bre.a4t Birinyi
Pickering Council last
week gave the go-ahead for
a new indoor ice surface
and outdoor rink. The Com-
pleted feasibility study last
March, had revealed a
need for the additional
skating arena in the Town
of Pickering.
councillor Van Kempen
announced to conic his
concern if they were to sup-
port the constriction of the
rink. He continued to caw
tion council that the $s
million price tag attached
to the skating arena was,
c� haeid time amend could
not endorse it."
"No one in this town
would like a new skating
facility more than I would,
but where will the five
million come from'... ques-
tioned Van Kempen'. "We
do not have the money..'
Council already approv-
ed the cost of the $30.000
feasibility study which has
annoyed Councillor Van
Kempen. Council is looking
to the provincial govern-
ment to pick up 75% of that
fee.
Mayor Arthurs contends
that any government
grants that Pickering
might be entitled to are
dependent on a complete
feasibility study being car-
ried out. But, council has
no commitment from the
pEovhnce about any grants.
"Ibe row ng
forward with this proms
replied Arthur's "is for
council to approve the
$300,000 it will oast to draw
up the architectural pians
and design of the new
arena.
This prompted a heated
debate between Van
Kempen and the other
council members. Mayor
Wayne Arthurs defended
the approval, reminded
Van Kempen the costs up to
this point were budgetary
items and council is not
looting for 'new money'.
The explanation did not
satisfy Van Kempen
remarking, "you don't
have plans drawn up for
your dream house without
going to the bank first to
see if theywillfinance your
Doug Dickerson said con-
fidently that the five
million would come from
future kht levies.
However, in this reces-
sion Van Kempen does not
agree with Dickerson's
evaluation and pointed out
that Pickering is not in-
itiating new home con-
struction
arstruction that would sup-
such
upsuch high revenue
from lot levies.
Even more important,
Van Kempen is indifferent
to council member's
priorities. His concern is
that, Pickering should be
building a new fire hall not
an ice arena.
"Ibe $300,O0o could be
better used in these reces-
sionary times towards the
construction of a
desperately needed fire
hall,.' claim Van Kempen.
Mayor Arthurs revealed,
the high operational costs
of a new fire hall would
have, "been a real burden
to the taxpayers. We are
moving ahead in a Con-
scious, calculated, struc-
tural fashion .. we need to

Education Highlights
Policies Approved
Two policies which had
returned from the Con-
sultative Process were ap-
proved by trustees. The
board supports the provi-
sion of quality, non-profit
child care services in its
schools through qualified,
licensed child care
operators where space is
available. As well, the
board will not permit
smoking inside any of its
buildings and will strongly
discourage smoking on its
properties.
Fee Structure Approved
The rates for Driver
Education (student fees
and in -car instruction) and
Night School ( instruction
and interest course fees)
were approved as follows:
Driver Education - Effec-
tive Sept 1, 1991: student
fee - $280; in -car instruc-
tion rates - $27; classroom
instruction rates $28. Night
School Interest: student -fee
$2.80 per hr. plus
premium for certain

Assessment Clerk to be
Hired
The board will hire an
assessment clerk at a max-
imum cost of $21,000 for
1991. It is anticipated that
the revenue generated will
offset the salary to be paid

We Need Reform
by Bob Watson
Those who have listened to the program of the Reform
Party are enthused that a political party has a platform to
cut the "giveaways" in the federal government. Unless the
regular federal parties change their ideas, it is our opinion
that in a couple of years the Reform Party will be in power
at Ottawa.
It is our opinion that all handouts should be eliminated in-
cluding multicultural grants, horizon grants and the Indian
affairs budget of $7 billion a year. This country must tackle
its over $400 billion deficit before we become a third world
country grappling with impossible economics.
The latest cuts by the federal government on the defence
department may be justified but with an armed forces
smaller than almost anywhere in the world we doubt it! We
do have the second largest land area country in this world.
We hope the Reform Party will tackle the GST first when
it goes into office and put a 4.7% increase in income tax to
recover the same tax dollars. The GST is costing the
government billions to collect and this doesn't account for
the billions being lost by private enterprise in collecting and
accounting for the tax.
We will need about 100,000 less civil servants under Ot-
tawa's control if we slash off those "goodies" going to
groups who could look after themselves anyway.
Let's tackle the problem of which government pays for
what. We'd like to see the provincial government complete-
ly responsible for education and health while the federal
government handles welfare completely.
STATFACTS
The Term "junior governments" is sometimes used to
describe those who run our cities, towns and villages. But
there's nothing little league about local government when
you loot at what they collect in taxes all by themselves -
clase to $31 billion in 1990. When revenue from all sources is
considered. they received about 557.6 billion. Following are
some Statistics Canada highlights on municipal govern-
ment revenues and expenditures.
Here and There
Bicycle Helmets Reduce Injuries
They're very popular' Children love to ride them-, grown-
ups use them for recreation and fitness. And they are a
great means of transportation. We're talking about
bicycles. of carie. Cycling is an increasingly popular ac-
tivity, and every year more than a million bicycles are sold
in Canada.
But there are other. less pleasant, statistics. More than
200 Canadians die each year as a result of cycling ac-
cidents. At least 75 percent of these tragedies are the result
of bead injuries, with children 5 to 14 years of age accoun-
ting for roughly half of these deaths. In addition, for
children, cycling accidents are the leading cause of
hospitalization for bead injuries. For all age groups, most
long-term disabilities resulting from cycling accidents are
due to bead injuries.
In recent years, helmets have been developed that offer
good bead protection and reduce the risk of head injuries.
These cycling helmets meet one of the fallowing standards:
Canadian Standards Association ( CSA ). Snell Foundation,
or American National Standards Institute ( ANSI ).
Although children form the group most at risk on bikes,
they are least likely to wear helmets. Parents should pur-
chase properly -fitted helmets for their children and ensure
that they wear them every time they cycle. And parents
should set a good example for their children and always
wear a helmet when cycling.
Workers' Arts and Heritage Centre Receives
M,000 Grant
The Ontario Workers' Arts and Heritage Centre will
receive a grant of $25,000 to mount and tour a display
highlighting the history of Ontario workers, Ontario
Minister of Culture and Communications Rosario Marchese
announced recently.
The Ontario Workers' Arts and Heritage Centre, a non-
profit organization, is committed to preserving, displaying
and communicating the heritage of Ontario workers. In ad-
dition to depicting the history of workers in Ontario, the
display will also focus on the broad cultural and racial
diversity of Ontario working people.

My Special Dream
Far above my rainbow,
There is a dream for me.
A dream that no one else
Could know, hear about or see.
This dream is very private
For me to tell to you.
I can't say a word about it
Or even give a clue.
Beyond that beautiful rainbow,
that curves up in the sky.
Bring memories and happy thoughts,
That start to make me cry.
This dream is so wonderful,
It's such a big secret.
And if I do tell you,
This dream I'll never get.
When I look at the colours
Thoughts come in my mind.
Thoughts that are so hidden,
Only I'm able to find.
So don't you even try
To break into my dream.

It May Be Accurate
But Is It Right?
by Tom Mitchell
Ottawa - "Promised land reached:farm incomes up 40%"
Set aside the biblical reference and a headline like the one
above is accurate. Figures recently released by Statistics
Canada show total net farm income stood at $4.9 billion in
1989, up 40% from $3.5 billion in 1988. But anyone who wants
a true picture of agricultural economics won't get it by look-
ing at one factor in isolation. Many other numbers regular-
ly published by Statistics Canada give plenty of evidence
that farm life today is not a bed of rases.
For example, realized net income for farmers (net cash
income plus any income in kind but minus depreciation)
dropped 11% in 1989, reaching just $1.1 billion compared
with $4.6 billion in 1988. Farm cash receipts were up - $22.5
billion compared to $22.0 billion in 1988, a 2% increase. But
that was only about half as much as the increase in the rate
of inflation.
Farm expenses hit $18.6 billion in 1989, up a hefty $1
billion or 6% from the previous year. Even with all the d-
fects of inflation removed, the expense bite was still 1%
higher than 1968. The cost of operating machinery, crop in-
surance, interest expenses, wages and feed all moved
higher in 1989, narrowing the potential for profitable opera-
tions.
Crop receipts were generally higher than in 1988, with
Canadian Wheat Board payments accounting for almost
70% of that increase. Barley prices hit their highest level in
four years primarily due to tight North American feed
grain supplies resulting from the 1988 drought.
But cash receipts were almost unchanged for cattle and
calves and for hogs. More animals went to market but
prices were lower. Receipts for dairy products were up less
than 1%. Some specialist operations were hit particularly
hard. For example, shrinking markets brought a 26% drop
in fur farming receipts, down to just $41 million in 1989.
The debit side of the account books offers a look at the
fiscal picture from another angle. Farm debt outstanding
totalled $22.5 billion at the end of 1989. That was down only
1% from $22.8 billion in 1988.
Through the 1970s and the first half of the 19110s, farm debt
kept edging upward. Since then, the trend has been
downward. Analysts say this has been due in part to in-
creased caution by both lenders and farmers.
That caution could be taken as a major indicator of how
things have been going for the farm community. The pro-
mised land still lies bevond the horizon.

STATFACTS
Participants in a 1968 Statistics Canada survey were ask-
ed whether, in their opinion, police were doing a good job in
four main areas. Sixty percent gave them a .'good job"
rating for law enforcement. Police got "good job" ratings
from 50% of those surveyed on the question of responding to
calls, from 66% on being approachable and from 56% on
supplying crime prevention information.
Local government spending on social services/social
welfare amounted to $2.7 billion in 1990, Statistics Canada
figures show. The total was up $300 million from 1989.

Pack a cool, safe summer picnic
Enjoy the great outdoors this
summerwithapicnic. From simple
to sophisticated, picnics go with
robust activities like sailing and
canoeing but are squally appropri-
ate for relaxing by a fishing stream,
an the patio or at an outdoor con-
cert.
Whatever your pile pk�asuire
and wherever it takes you, remem-
ber that warm summer weather
always brings concerns about food'
safety- So, keep your pXMcs safe
as well as delicious with these tips:
❑ When preparing picnic foods,
beep hands, utensils, cutting boards
and counters scrupulously clean.
Prevent cross- contamination by
using different cutting boards for
taw and cooked foods. After each
use:, clean utensils thoroughly with
hot soapy water or a mild chlorine
bleach solution (1 tsp chlorine bleach
to 4 o a water).
❑ Refrigerate foods soon after
coating and chill thoroughly, at
least 2 to 4 hours, before packing
for a picnic.
❑ Pact raw and cooked foods
separately sod wrap well to pre-
vent juiocs from dripping onto other
foods.
❑ FwMarnoete, poet hot and Cold
foods separately. Keep foods Cold
in a cooler or insulated bag with
khtsot;fromea ftoraerpacks. Layers
of newspaper provide good heat
insulation for hot in a separate
insulated container. Place all foods
in sturdy plastic containers or seal-

❑ To prevent bacteria growth,
keep hot foods hot - above 140-F

Picuk Farre
Perfect picnic meals include not
only those foods you enjoy but those
that travel well. In warm weather,
chilled foods are usually proferred.
It's much easier and safer to keep
cold foods cold than hot food hot.
Sandwiches go to many a picnic,
for good reason! They provide
variety, are easy to pack and appeal
to everyone, particularly the younger
set.
When it comes to packing food
for children, picnics are not the
time to try unusual items Stx:k to
favorite foods - even if it's the
inevitable peanut butter sandwich.
Pita breads in interesting pori=
sandwiches for a variety of fillings.
To avoid soggy pockets, consider
carrying fillings separately and fill
the pita on the spot.
Most picnickers, kids included,
like the crunch of taw veggies which
are easy to pack. Prepared salads,
cheeses and crackers aro other fa-
vorites.
For dessert, freeze individually
packaged fruit yogurts before you
leave. Parted in your cooler, tbey'll
keep things cool until meal time
when the yogurts will still be par-
tially frozen for a frosty finish to
your meal. Luscious fruits of the
season - plump peaches, plums and
berries - arc another simple, deli-
cious picnic sweet.
Presentation is as important as
the food. Include bright, colorful
cloth napkins and reusable plastic
plates and sips. Do remember the
essentials - cutlery, blanket, insect
repellent and a garbage bag for the
final cleanup.
Sultry summer days increase
thirsts, so be sure to bring along
abundant chilled beverages like
naturally refire"shing and cooling Iced
Tea. It's inexpensive, easy to make
ahead and tote to your picnic site.
Keep a jug in the fridge for a quick,
cooling sip then pour it into a ther-
mal jug with a few frozen tea cubes
to keep it cool for picnics.
Tbem aro a number of ways to
make and enjoy Iced Tea Always
use good quality tea. Try the newer,
flavored teas when malting Iced
Tea for something just a little dif-
lertat. Follow these easy directions
>rom the Tea Council of Canada.
Classic Iced Ta
The traditional way to make Iced
Tea begins with double strength
hot tea. Be sure to use fresh cold
water brought to a full boil. Cover
and brew 3 to 5 minutes. Strain or
remove tea bags and pour over roe
in tall glasses. Garnish with lemon
slices and mint leaves and sweeten
10 individual taste.
To make a large quantity of iced
ora, pour 4 cups boiling water over
8 era bags. Covet and let stand 3 to
5 minutes Stir and strain into a
pitcher. Add 4 cups cold water.
('bur immediately over roe in tall
glasses, garish and sweeten to taste,
or chill until ready to use. Makes 8
CUP
- Oversight Iced Ta
Fill a pitcher with 4 cups cold
water and add 8 tea brags. Cover
and chill overnight. Remove tea
bags, squeezing against side of
container, then pour into ice filled
glasses Makes 4 cups.
Sagan Syrup
A sugar syrup is the best way to
sweeten cold drinks as it dissolves
easier than granulated sugar. Com-
bine equal portions of water and
sugar in a saucepan. Bring to a boil,
reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes.
Let cool and store in a covered jar
in refrigerator.
Ta Ice Cubes
Pour any leftover tea into ice
cube trays. Freeze, then pop into a
fiecner berg. Use in Iced Tea drinks
without diluting the flavor.

Scarborough Campus Chemist Wins Teaching Award
"I love teaching," says
Chemist Karen Henderson -
and you have to believe
,her. Her dedication to her
chosen career shows. That
dedication has just been
recognized with the 1991
Scarborough Campus
Teaching Award.
The Teaching Award has
been given annually since
1979. Henderson, a Picker-
ing resident, has been a
member of the faculty at U
of T's Scarborough Cam-
pus for 25 years.
The evidence of the high
esteem in which she is held
by students, former
students and colleagues is
overwhelming. Letters in
support of her nomination
poured in from around the
world from former
students in such faraway
places as Hong Kong, Nor-
way and Malaysia.
Many of the letters from
students and alumni men-
tion the course she teaches
in analytical chemistry as
the best they have ever
taken. In the words of one
who is strongly considering
a career in university
teaching, "I remember our

pus Teaching Award (Photo by David Harford)

Chemistry course as one of
the most demanding and
rewarding experiences in
my educational career

The overwhelming
theme of all letters.

nuine interest in and con-

shows evidence of this in all
her dealings with students -
in her availability in the

Ministry Grant To Fight Drug Abuse
Ontario's fight against
drug abuse has received a
significant boost when Orr
tano Minister of Tourism
and Recreation Peter
North announced a $290,000
project aimed at school
children and coaches.
The grant to the Parks &
Recreation Federation of
Ontario will be used to
develop training materials
and awareness programs
for the Ministry's Recrea-
tion anti-drug initiatives.
"This program will give
children and coaches an op.
portunity to better unders-
tand the negative aspects
of drugs in the youth and
sport communities," Mr.
North said. "It's an ex-
cellent program and should
be welcomed by all."
The project includes in-
itiating a province -wide
children's puppet program
on drug awareness and
coaching, recreation train-
ing_ seminars to identify
and manage drug and
alcohol abuse in sports.
Ethical and anti-drug
messages will be promoted
for all athletes.
The puppet program for
children, aged four to nine,
will provide them with in-
formation about drugs and
bow they can develop skills
to resist them. The pro-
gram wi0 be shown at
about 20 regional locations
and reflect regional and
cultural differences.

dividual sessions in her of-
fice.
Even beyond the time
spent in these activities,
she goes out of her way to
notice that a student needs
help, and responds. Several
mentioned examples of her
visiting a student in
hospital, and giving
students who had been ill
copies of her lecture notes.
Henderson says she was
always interested in
teaching as a career, but
was inspired to pursue
chemistry by an outstan-
ding grade 12 teacher at
her Scarborough high
school (her previous in-
terest was in the classics).
She had expected to teach
high school. but was of-
fered a job as a first-year
lab instructor in chemistry
at the fledgling Scar-
borough College when she
graduated from U of T.
She accepted it and has
never regretted the deci-
sion. Thousands of
undergraduates have
benefitted from her
outstanding teaching skills,
which she consistently
seeks to improve by atten-
ding conferences and
workshops and by updating
and fine tuning her lab
demonstrations and ex-
periments.

receive her award, which
includes a $1000 cash prime,

Bill Watt's Worlds
ON YOUR TOES:
As much as anything can
be in this columnist's life,
it's usually and relatively
simple to prepare a review
of Tchaikowsky's ballet
"The Sleeping Beauty",
particularly as represented
by our National Ballet.
What, after all, is there in
it not to like? There is the
music of the master, sump-
tuous set design and
costuming, superior
lighting -those autumn
tones in Act Two! -and the
choreography of Petipa
augmented by the charm-
ingly self indulgent
nuances of Rudolf
Nureyev.
In sum, it is a well nigh
perfect presentation of
ballet and always en-
joyable. Usually our words
of review and praise come
with some degree of ease.
Not so this time,
however. After seeing this
production recently at The
O'Keefe, we find ourself
almost foundering; almost
foundering over how best to
describe the performance
of Karen Kain.
She is unquestionably a
prima ballerina but we sug-
gest that she should now be
crowned as Prima
Ballerina Assolluta. We're
not even sure if we've spell-
ed the supreme accolade
correctly but those who
have seen Miss Kain in this
p%ductioo will most surely
k what we ice.
Looking impossibly
young she danced with a
grace that might have
seemed ethereal were it not
for her warm blooded ear-
thbound charm. Her
Princess Aurora is regal
but all woman.
Technically, one almost
gasped in wonderment at
her supreme attitude in
It measures calling for
it but most particularly in
the difficult pas de cinq in
Act One where she dances
with her four suitors.
Then she surpasses
herself in Act Two and ear
times on to triumph in Act
Three and by now one
begins to realize just what
is happening to Miss Kain:
we aiggesC that she has
now found her perfect part-
ner, one missing since the
far too premature depar-
ture from the company of
Frank Augustyn.
She has found him in the
person of guest artist
Laurent Hilaire and local
audiences have found a
new star.
The gentleman is the ab-
solute embodiment of
elegance. No mean com-
parison is intended in sug-
gesting that he dances the
way Fred Astaire might
have danced had he espous-
ed ballet. Solgnd is the
word that cannot be put
away from our thoughts.
Yet, there is nothing of
the effete here. He is every
Inch the man and it is
reflected in his dancing.
His height, his left -call it
what you will -is incredible,
his speed dazzling, his
strength admirable.
And, when he and Miss
Kain dance together! Well,
words fail us as we attempt
to describe the magic.
At all or what ever costs,
let Laurent Hilaire be in-
vited to join the National
and let us see more of him
and hopefully with Karen
Kain.
Just space enough now to
mention all too briefly the
fine performances of two
others in smaller roles.
Peter Ottmann was tower-
ing as the third act pas de
cinq as one of the diamonds
and Yseult Lendvai excited
with her en pointe in the
first act Second Variation.
Forgive any of our sins of
syntax or otherwise in the
foregoing but we are still in
thrall over The Sleeping
Beauty and over the
discovery of a bright, new
pairing of dancers.
FOOT :VOTES.
The National will be
presenting its annual
Choreographic Workshop
from May 30th to June 1st
at the Betty Oliphant
Theatre t 404 Jarvis Su.
Eight new short ballets
will be presented by com-
pany members Maurice
Causey, Michael Downing,
Dominique Dumais,
Graeme Mears.
Christopher Smidt, Mark
Snow and Nils Bertil-
Wallin. The eighth work
will be by freelance
choreographer Jean
Grand -Maitre.
These workshops fulfill
several functions. One of
them is the opportunity for
fledgling choreographers
to try their wings with
public presentations of
their works. The finest of
performing creation must
have what we now call
feedback in order to enure
success. Public workshops
provide that.
As well the
choreogrphers are not Lac-
ed with a make or break

DON'T BE A "POUR' HOST .. .
Focus on food and fun—not the bar—at your party. Watch
for overindulgers. If a guest has had too much to drink, only
time will make him or -her sober. Volunteer to mix the next
drink. Engage the person in conversation to slow down the
drinking rate. Intoxicated guests should never be allowed to
drive home. Don't be a "pour" host. Be first a friend, then a

situation. If their works
show promise, they will be
developed further. If they
do not, then no real harm
has been done. In fact, we
rather suspect that
sometimes realizations are
made by individuals that
the creation of dance is not
for them, at least not at a
level of commercial viab&
ty.
Workshops are also a
show for devoted au-
diences; in this case true
balletomanes, people who
enjoy ballet at any level.
A reminder, too, that
many major worts have
had their genesis at such
workshops. Wonderfully
low admittance prices as
well; $12 for adults/$8 for
students and seniors.
That's only pennies more
than one pays for a motion
picture admittance. No
popcorn of course.
Tickets can be arranged
by calling 362-0201. Shall
we see you there?
ON STAGE :
One of the definitions of
clown, accorditng to Oxford
( the only dictionary worthy
of the name and we wish to
bell, our schools would get
rid of Webster!) is an "ig-
norant or ill-bred man".
That would explain why
there are few female
downs.
The only one of recent
note we can recall is when
Vickie Gabereau in a
perfect bit of type casting
ran for Mayor of Toronto
under the name of Rosie
the Clown.

publicist Penny East

Cheryl Cashman and her
newest sob comedy show.

Cashman does not consider
or refer to herself as a

astral plane with Che

It's all very much off the

Creative Dances In The Schools
Reid Anderson, Artistic
Director of the National
Ballet of Canada, has an-
nounced an exciting new
project that will bring the
creative process of dance
into schools throughout On-
tario.
Called "Creative Dances
in the Schools: A
Choreographic Workshop
Project", the venture
started March la in 12
schools across the province
involved over 300 students
aged io to 1a who will work
with 14 dance artists.
The results of this
creative undertaking will
be presented in a "Share
Day" at North York's
Claude Watson School for
the Performing Arts on
Mon. May 27th.
The project is designed to
enhance the theatrical ex-
perience of the 300 Ontario
students from 12 schools at-
tending the Shull Canada
Student Matinee perfor-
mance of the National
Ballet's Choreographic
Workshop on Fri. May 31 at
Toronto's Betty Oliphant
Theatre.
Each school group will
host a dance artist in their
school prior to the
Choreographic Workshop
performance.
Broadway Babies At Clarke Institute

wife, Mary Livingstone.
You see, many have forgot-
ten, if in fact they ever
knew, that Jack Benny was
one of the handsomest men
in show business and
before his marriage to
Mary, was quite the ladies'
man.
Here's what George
Burn, his life long friend,
has to say about that " . .
He went around with all the
girls. He played on the Or-
plheu m Circuit and slept
with every girl from coast
to coast. He and Phil Baker
were two of the hand-
somest guys in show
business. As they followed
each other from town to
town they would leave
notes with names and
'Phone numbers."
All that, of course, was
before he met Mary.
It's a most enjoyable
book put together by his
daughter Joan with obvious
..Dolly, Mame, Kiss Me
Kate" and more.
The Clarke's Relatives
and Friends of
Schizophrenics Program
was the first of its kind in
the world to recognize the
integral role played by
families in understanding
and treating schizophrenia
and has received mterna-
tional recognition as a
model of family support.

of the $37 million
Reichmann Research
Building on Thurs. May 23
at 4:30 p.m. Sunnybrook

comes of age as a signifi-
cant player in the field of
medical research.
The creation of the
seven -story centre also
marks the fust time the
Reichmann family has lent
its name to a major public
institution. Its $3 million
gift has made a significant
contribution toward the ad-
vancement of medical
research at Sunnybrook.
Albert Reichmann will
declare the building of-
ficially open.
The unique and pro-
gressive open -concept
design of the facility
enables researchers to in-
vestigate collaboratively.
The program areas of
cancer, aging, trauma, im-
aging, clinical
epidemiology and general
research have been
selected to complement
Sunnybrook's existing
clinical specialties.
Under the direction of
Dr. Mark Henkelman, Sun-
nybrook's vice president of
research, investigators and
clinicians will work
cooperatively toward solu-
tions for some of today's
most troubling health pro-
blems. Currently more
than 80 scientists are ac-
tively engaged in pioneer-
ing research projects.
When the building is fully
occupied at the end of 1992,
they will number more
than 200.
Scarborough Gem In "Black Pearls"
1y Doane S. Aiwa
In it not surprising move,
Scarborough's Own, Super
model Monika Schnarre, is
appearing on the big screen
in her feature film debut
"Black Pearls".
The film was shot in
Toronto, Brampton and
Hong Kong and is best
described as a kung fu pic-
ture.
"And it's an adventure,"
says Monika, "I get kid-
napped, my fiance goes to
Gina ..It's a strong anti-
drug movie, rm greatly in-
volved in that movement
The 1996 Super Model of
the World, was just about
to go on a promotion tour
for her autobiography,
"Monika, Between You and
Me" when she was snarred
for her fust role by Toron-
to's Film One Productions.
( Monika, is her real name
although she has used the
spelling Monica as a
made].)
This anti-drug chop-
socky is high on kicks and
although a low budget pic-
ture (it was shot for $1.6
million), the production
values in "Black Pearls-
are
earls.
mBofeForars the gem
a it
delivers its share of fight
scares. A lot of sweat equi-
ty went into the making of
the film and a lot of blood,
sweat and tears went into
the fight scenes.
These are most effective
when they feature the
movies star, Jalal Mertz,
who incidentally is the pro-
ducer and action director
as well. Matz is a good
choreographer and an ex-
pert in Chinese kung fu who
holds black belts in several
styles. Monika plays
Ashley, the bero's fiance.
The film also features
Jamie Farr and is pep-
pered with known faces
from the martial arts
world. The title "Black
Pearls" comes from the
moniker of the Chinese
secret society that controls
the trade of the deadly
designer drug Nirvana.
Merhi takes on the
crinimal organization after
his brother OD's on the new
fig-
While not quite ready to
abandon her modeling
altogether, Monika found
film a welcome change.
"Making 'Black Pearls'
was great," she told
Hollywood Canada. "I'd
like to make a full career
out of acting. I was treated
much better as an actress
than I am as a model. it's
not that I want to be treated
like a prima donna, but in
the film it's more personal
and friendly."
Monika has come out of
the effort with good
reviews. The Toronto
Star's reviewer said, "In
her own inimitable way
Pearls' from being just
another dreary chop -cocky
adventure and writer -
director Ron Huhne should
be applauded for such
creative casting."
Ironically just as 'Black
Pearls" is being released,
Film One is in the midst of
filming its second feature,
"Tiger Claws" in Toronto.
Another kung fu picture it
promises lots of action
from Merhi and his co-
stars, Bob Yeung and Cyn-
thia Rothrock.

Pickering Hosts Hydro Meeting
Some of the difficult and
complex issues being faced
by Municipal Electric
Utilities were on the table,
at a recent meeting hosted
by the Pickering Hydro -
Electric Commission.
The May Lst meeting was
attended by commissiooas
and executives from
Brampton, Etobicoke,
Vaughan, North York,
Richmond IN, Markham
and Scarborough, as well
as representatives from
Ontario Hydro and the
Municipal Electric
Association.
John Wiersma, Pucker-
ing Hydro's General
➢Sanger, briefed the group
an the proceedings at the
Environmental Assess -
anent Board Hearing into
Ontario Hydro's
Demand/Supply Plan, and
the current Ontario Hydro
1982 Rate Proposal before
the Ontario Energy Board.
The group was informed
that the Environmental
Assessment Board Hear-
ings are turning out to be
complex, costly and
lengthy. Some 4000 written
questions have been filed
by intervenors, to be
answered by Ontario
Hydro staff.
The Municipal Electric
Association, representing
the Municipal Utilities and
over 70% of the electric
power consumers in On-
tario, is playing a signifi-
cant role in the bearing. It
has filed 500 written ques-
tions with the board.
Delays in the bearings
have added to the complex-
ity of the process. The pian
which is almost two years
old is becoming dated due
to changing economic
realities and the interven-
tion will partly deal with
updates of information.
The group was also in-
formed that the board's
decision to examine the
privatization and decen-
talization of Ontario Hydro
would be appealed by the
Municipal Electric
Association in the Divi-
sional Court of Appeal.
This proposal by Energy
Probe, if unchallenged, is
expected to extend the
hearing by another year.
"Energy Probe's pro-
posal is clearly outside of
the scope of the bearing,"
says Wiersma, "and
Municipal Electric
Utilities, are very concern-
ed about delays in deci-
sions about the future
power supply-"
The current rate pro-
posal by Ontario Hydro to
raise rates to Municipal
Electric Utilities by 8.9% in
1992, also came under fire.
The proposed rate increase
is very unpopular, and for
different reasons than irn-
mediately apparent. The
increase is less than what
is required for Ontario
Hydro to maintain finan-
cial soundness.
The debt ratio of the
giant corporation larder
this rate proposal is ex-
pected to a from
83.8% to 84.1 % and even so,
Ontario Hydro will have to
dip into its special reserve
for the stabilization of rates
and con ingencies, in order
to meet its statutory debt
retirement provisions.
The rate proposal also
forecasts a brighter
economic outlook than
most would agree with;
such as an Ontario Coo-
surtner Price index increase
of 3.9% and a growth of
3.0% in Ontario's Gross
Domestic Product.
Certainly the major coo-
terns of the participants
were centered around the
two bearings, but a number
of other issues generated a
considerable amount of
discussion as well. Most
utilities present are well in-
to energy efficiency pro-
grams, such as the shower
head exchange program,
and the water heater tune
up program -
Other questions were
raised with regard to the
impact of the recession on
the deployment of utility
staff. All agreed that the
previous emphasis of
building new facilities to
accommodate growth, has
clearly shifted towards
maintenance and the
rehabilitation of punt.
Some of the utilities pre-
sent were frequently being
requested to install
overhead facilities
nndergand. In almost all
cases the costs proved to be
prohibitive to the benefit-
ting property owns. The
customer appears not
prepared to accept the add-
ed cost.
The emerging issue of
electric and magnetic
ricks was also discussed. It
appears to be a very sen-
sitive issue to the electric
utility industry, and the
scientific community has
not established clear
evidence of the relationship
between electric and
magnetic fneids and human
health. It was agreed,
however. that utilities must
be very candid on this issue
and provide all the mfor
mation available when re-
quested by the customer.
The meeting concluded
with an update of the
labour negotiations under-
way in the Metro Toronto
Area.
Featured In Film
Most Ontario residents
would be surprised to learn
that their province is hone
to the largest, richest, tall -
grass savannah prairie in
all of Canada. Located on
the Walpole Island com-
plex, in the wmatb of the St.
Clair River, north of Wind-
sor, the prairie abounds
with rare grasses, sedges
and wildflowers.
The Canadian Wildflower
Society and award-winning
Northern Lights Produc-
tions Inc. of Toronto, are
now in pre -production on
the first of a series of films
celebrating Canada's
native plant heritage.
The first, for television
and home video viewing,
"Tine Magnificent Prairie -
A Wildflower Eden", will
capture the splendour of
the rare native plants that
still flourish in one of North
America's most spec-
tacular and unusual set-
tings, the tall -grass savan-
nah prairie.
Jim French, Founder
and Honourary president of
the society, explains: "The
tall -grass prairie savannah
of Walpole Island is the
finest remaining example
of a habitat that at one time
extended westward, below
the Great Lakes. as far as
Iowa in the United States."
"The prairie is very
spectacular for a number
of reasons," he continued,
"not only does it contain an
unusually high number of
different species (over 800
vascular plants), but 12%
are rare in Ontario and 1%
are not found elsewhere in
Canada."
Walpole Island is an In-
dian Reserve under the
jurisdiction of the Walpole
Island First Nation. The
society will be working
closely with the members
of the First Nation and
highlighting the special
relationship that exists bet-
ween the people and the
prairie.
The Canadian Wildflower
Society is a registered
charity "dedicated to the
study, conservation and
cultivation of North
America's wild flora". It
publishes Wildflower,
North American's only
magazine on native plants.
Funds for the $70,000 pro-
duction are being sought
from the corporate com-
munity, governments and
private foundations.

rbe ycling effort has
paid oft for the college and
will help Metro meet its
garbage disposal dif-
ficulties," says Jack
Nicolle, Centennial's plant
and safety manager.
Centennial receives free
shredding service for its
sensitive documents in
return for the fine paper
collected. The shredded
paper is also recycled.
The shredding service
coupled with savings in not
having the paper trash
dumped at a landfill site
(at $150 per metric tome),
has saved Centennial an
estimated $4,000 in the first
six months of operation.

All Companies Must Register Now
All unincorporated
businesses operating under
names other than their
owners' are now required
to have their names
registered. Ontario's new
"Business Names Act,
1989" proclaimed on May
1st, 1991 includes com-
panies in the previously -
exempt service industry.
Past laws regulating
business names applied on-
ly to those in manufactur-
ing, trade or mining.
Businesses such as con-
sultants, hairdressers and
building contractors were
not required to register.
But under the new act,
they must register their
business names by Nov. 30.
1991, with the Companies
Branch of the Ministry of
Consumer and Commercial
Relations (MCCR). The
new act also applies to
business names used by
corporations.
"This new legislation will
better protect consumers
and businesses in Ontario,"
said Consumer and Com-
mercial Relation Minister
Marilyn Cburley. Miley
will have easier access to
tie disputes.,,
Through registration,
business names are placed
in public files maintained
by the Companies branch.
This allows consumers and
other interested parties to
find the owners behind a
name. Anyone may search
business -name information
contained on the public
record for a fee.
The new legislation also
provides for legal recourse
in cases where damages
are suffered as a result of
deceptively similar
business names. Register-
ing does rat in itself give
someone exclusive use to a
name.
But registrants who feel
they have suffered
damages because someone
else registered and used
the same dame or one that
is much the same can take
legal action. The act pro-
vides for compensation if
damages are proven.
Companies with names
already on record under
the old legislation don't
need to re -register until
their five year registration
period has expired.

Port Of Toronto - World Trade Link
There is much more to
the Port of Toronto than
what simply meets the eve.
In fact, the port nestled
along the northwest shore
of Lake Ontario has touch-
ed almost every person liv-
ing in Toronto in one way or
another over the years.
The port is viewed by
many as an exotic place
where ships from faraway
lands discharge the cargo
that works its way into the
daily stream of living. And
what stories these cargoes
ranging from odd -shaped
machinery, to heavy -lift
equipment to rare com-
modities would have to tell
- of where they came from,
where they've headed and
who will use them.
Beyond that, however,
Afloat, Pier 4 Sailing
School, Club & Rentals,
SmartBoating and Toronto
Brigantine. They will be
pleased to provide you with
the details regarding their
facilities.
the port provhaes
thousands of jobs and
generates millions in tax
revenues.
Whether it's food you eat,
the steel used in the con-
struction of your office
building, your livelihood
through one of the many
private industries
associated with the port, or
last summer's picnic on the
waterfront, the Port of
Toronto prays an active
role in many people's
everyday lives.
Just 26 miles from the en-
trance to the Welland
Canal which leads to Lake
Erie, the port enjoys a
strategic position in the St.
Lawrence Seaway -Great
Lakes waterway system. It
is right in the middle of
Canada's largest and
richest market. In fact
more than one-third of the
total Canadian market is
within a lWn ile radius of
Toronto.
The port and surrounding
waterfront as seen today is
due to the efforts of the
Toronto Harbour Commis-
sioners who, in 1911, were
charged with the respon-
sibility of bringing order to
a disorganized harbour of
ramshackle wharfs and
boggy marshes.
With the backing of the
city and the federal govern-
ment, the Commission
quickly went to work.
In the ensuing 80 years, it
built Sunnyside which in its
heyday, attracted
thousands to its amuse-
ment ground each year. It
expanded the Toronto
Islands, located on the
city's downtown doorstep,
by some 600 acres. In fact,
the commission has added
more than 2,000 acres of
land to the total waterfront.
It built two airports -
Malton, today known as
Pearson International Air-
port, and Toronto Island
Airport which it still
operates today.
Over the years, the Com-
mission also created land
for the province's Ontario
Place and built a string of
parks across the water-
front for the Metropolitan
Toronto and Region Con-
servation Authority. And it
built a modern port.
The opening of the St.
Lawrence Seaway in 1959
enabled large ocean ships
to call at the Port of Toron-
to. And to keep up with the
changing modes of
transportation, the port
was the first in the Great
Lakes system to provide
specialized facilities for the
handling of containers.
Containerization radical-
ly altered the nature of
general cargo movements
through the port. The com-
mission is constantly adap-
ting its marketing thrust to
concentrate on those types
of cargo for which the port
enjoys a competitive ad-
vantage.
Two transcontinental
railways serve the port -
Canadian National and
Canadian Pacific. As well,
local and highway trucking
firms provide fast,
economical transportation
from the port area.
About 80 percent of
import-export general
cargo is handled by truck,
with rail accounting for the
remaining 21) percent.
All in all, Toronto Har-
bour is like a city within
itself, attracting thousands
of visitors to its shores each
year.
A blend of industry and
recreation. A world of
cargo and ships. No matter
bow you look at it, the Port
of Toronto is an integral
part of Canada's most ex-
citing city and is Ontario's
capital port.
