As we fast approach
those long lazy days of
summer vacation many
parents begin to wonder
how they will keep their
children occupied. The
library has always offered

summer is no exception.
One program that may
be of special interest is the
Summer Reading Pro-
gram. This program is
designed to encourage your
children to read during the
• months away from the
structured reading pro-
gram at school.
It also serves to en-
courage children who are
not "hated -an'. to reading,
by offering a variety of
themes and incentives to
encourage their participa-
tion. Children are also en-
couraged to read at their
ow pace.
The Pickering Ubtary is

Mainstream Canada
The cash cow
comes home to most
BY Terry O Shaughnessy
To no one's great surprise,
revenues from the federal
Goods and Serices Tax are fill-
ing the tax coffers in Ottawa to
overflowing. Fulfilling the worst
fears of manv critics who
predicted enormous financial
gains from the introduction of
a seven -per -cent tax on most
goods and services, the federal
government recently announced
a 5400 -million revenue wind-
fall just three months after
the widely unpopular tax was
implemented.
One of the harshest critics
has been John Bulloch, presi-
dent of the Canadian Federa-
tion of Independent Business.
As Bulloch puts it, "If the GST
can pull in 5400 million during
a time of recession, it boggles
the mind to think how much
more money the government
expects to rake in when the
economy is back on its feet."
Government officials, you'll
recall, consistently denied any
possibility that the introduction
of the GST would result in
windfall gains for the federal
coffers. Instead. they insisted
that money collected from the
GST would simply replace the
S17 billion previously collected
under the old sales tax system.
However. now that Revenue
Canada has its hands on 5400
million in the first quarter
alone, government officials are
claiming that the "unexpected"
windfall is due primarily to the
fact that more businesses than
expected are filing their sales tax
returns on a monthly, rather
than quarterly, basis.
But Bulloch disagrees.
"Monthly filing could only
account for a very small part of
the 5400 trillion in surplus tax
revenues," he says "The fan of
the matter is this government is
siphoning much more motley
out of the economy than it
was ever willing to publicly
acknowledge prior to the intro-
duction of this tar.
"Without question one of
the overriding considerations
driving the government's deri-
sion to introduce this poorly
designed tax in the middle of
a recession was the prospect
of cashing in on the extra
revenue. "
As a staunch critic of the
GST. Bulloch says the govern-
ment's decision to set up a
special deficit account (such an
account would ensure that, in
future, any net GST revenues
would automatically be slotted
for use against the national
debt) is the only logical course
of action.
"Because this tax was intro-
duced during a tough economic
recession. consumers and small
business, particularly retailers,
were hit hard. But perhaps the
know ledge that their tax dollars
will be used toward reducing
the country's staggering na-
tional debt will offer some
compensation for the pain of
the GST."
While the 5400 -million
windfall only scratches the
surface of Canada's S30-bdbon-
a-yew deficit. Bulloch feels that
applying the GST in this area
as opposed to throwing more
money away on more wort hkss
government spending will find
some measure of public approv-
al. "Canadians have had to
spend money they could ill -
afford to pay on the GST."
he adds. "The last thing they
wanted to see is more Sm-
ernment squandering. Public
opinion polls have repeatedly
shown that Canadians are
concerned enough about the
burden of debt that they would
be willing to contribute to any
ongoing effort which seriously
addresses the problem."
At least by creating a special
account for deficit reduction—
and funding it in part with net
GST revenues—the government
has taken a long -overdue step
in the right direction.

PROFIT IN A ROK'
Canada Post Corporation reported a profit of $14 million in
its 1990-91 Annual Report tabled June 18th in the House of
Commons. Canada Post will pay a dividend of x5.7 million
to its shareholder, the Government of Canada.
Revenue from postal operations grew four per cent to $3.7
billion, generating income from postal operations of $75
million, compared to $107 million a year earlier. But exten-
sive restructuring costs and accelerated attrition program
reduced net income to $14 million. This compares with a
profit of $149 million in 1989-90.

French language Policy
Dear Sirs:
The Lanark County Citizen's Forum on Bilingualism held
hearings on Apr. 22nd and May 27th concerning the abases
of the enforced French language policies. The following
cases were reported:
a) A 24 year-old male with college certification in elec-
tronics applied for an Army Forces Air Traffic Controller
position (a position using only one language internationally-
-English). He was refused due to the requirement of bil-
ingualism although, ironically, he was accepted as an Air
Traffic Controller with the Department a -11ransport later.
b) An applicant for the Ontario Provincial Police Force
whose father was an active member for years and who had
taken and passed with excellence College Law Enforce-
ment Courses was refused application, again because of his
inability to speak French.
c) a senior executive in the Ministry of the Environment
is forced to take course after course of French, not to im-
prove his working skills but to comply with the law, and is
forced to watch promotions based only on language ability.
not job expertise. It is no wonder that our nation is suffering
from incompetence.
d) A senor staff member of the Armed Forces elected
early retirement rather than suffer the frustration of wat-
ching ]u mor incompetent Francophones being promoted in-
stead of those who were more competent and senior. Thus,
there was a lel of hardship and incompetence created in the
Forces.
Many other examples of the folly of the present language
policy were described but were not listed in this letter for
the sake of brevity.
If readers would like to share their experiences, informa-
tion or finances to further educate the people of our country
to this monstrous innpstice being perpetuated on all Cana-
dians, please contact B. Mosher, R.R. No. 7. Perth, Ontario

on employment equity legislation covering public sector,
broader public sector and private sector employers.
The legislation will cover four designated groups–
Aboriginal peoples, persons with disabilities, women and
racial minorities.

On Education Criticism
Dear Editor
The constant bashing of the school systems in this Pro-
vince is almost laughable. It seems the criticism stems
from the charge that the achievement of our students com-
pares unfavourably with the achievements of students in
other countries and the achievement of those educated in
the "good old days".
As an educator, I admit, in some instances. our overall
results in mathematics, reading and perhaps science, do
not always compare favourably. In fact, I am surprised we
do as well as we do. Other than the fact it is impossible to in-
telligently ccunpare one generation to another and one
country to another, the answer to this situation is simple -
we do not spend the same amount of time teaching the basic
subjects as is spent in a number of other countries or as was
Went in the past.
Our teaching and teaching methods are superior and our
dedicated students are better than ever before, in spite of
the fad that far too many non academic expectations have
been imposed upon teachers of this Provirtc- We no longer
have the luxury y in our curricula. of concentrated time on
basic subjects because we are expected to spend valuable
time each day addressing society's challenges such as: sex
education, drug education, AIDS educations, poverty, sexual
and physical abuse, violence, absenteeism and constant
political interference.
It is intriguing to find students in many Pacific Rim coun-
tries spending triple the time spent in Ontario on the learn-
ing of mathematics and double the time on reading and
science. Compounding the challenges in our schools -
public, separate and private - students often exhibit the
values and attitudes of our adult population as well as the
childish behaviour displayed by our politicians during ques-
tion period in the Legislature.
Education seemed so simple thirty years ago when we
concentrated on the 311's with a little history, geography,
science, art, music and physical education. But then the
dropout rate was close to 6D% which meant many of the
students in school today would not have been allowed in the
schools in those days.
I find it ironical that the very school system being criticiz-
ed and harassed is the school system the public continues to
turn to to solve the ills of society. But this should not be a
surprise, because it is becoming a Canadian tradition to
criticize and be cynical rather than taking a positive upbeat
approach to meeting challenges.
Yours sincerely,

500 Million Will See The Julv 11th. Eclipse
The July 11 eclipse will be

by nearly 500 million peo-

Starting at about 3 p.m.

minutes, the eclipse will be
visible (weather permit-

Southwestern Ontario
(Windsor area) with
visibility declining as one
travels further north from
that area. A partial eclipse
of appy 12%, (in
otherwords, 12% of the sun
will be covered during the
event), will be witnessed
area of thethose in the southwest

Although we will not be
witnessing the total eclipse
and some may not notice
the eclipse at all, caution
must still be advised when
eclipse watching. During a
recent eclipse in the US ac-
cording to the American
Optemetric Association,
145 cases of eye injury were
reported. Forty percent of
these injuries were caused
by people mistakenly

be corrected.
We suggest those in-

organized by astronomy

can porvide the viewer
with clear images of the

of trained astronomers.
The next best way to view
this or any other eclipse is
to view it indirectly, using
a "pinhold projector" or
"sunscope" made of
alumimun foil, white paper
and a large cardboard car-
ton. Although this basic
design dates back to the
t500's it offers protection
while enabling the viewer
to see the eclipse. The im-
age of the eclipse passing
through a pinhole in one
end of the box is projected
onto the paper screen on
the other end, allowing the
viewer to see a small im-

Caution should be taken to
ensure that the viewer
looks at the projected im-

the ulcer pokes the hold in

Although the Jurlly 11 event
will not be as large in On-
tario as in some other
areas, the occurrence of an
,eclipse stirs the interest of
most individuals. The
Publicity and the accurate
prediction of dates of these
events encourages many to
view eclipses. We in On-
tario will be witnessing a
major eclipse on May 10,

permitting) to the majority
of people living in the pro-

by Muriel Warden

held its annual awards ban-
quet last Thursday evening
at the Ramada Inn, Ion
Valley.
Club president, Lou
Guerriero, welcomed all to
the Ramada Ballroom and
expressed his pleasure in
sharing "this special even-
ing in such beautiful sur-
roundings"
The members were out in
full force to say "Goodbye"
to a favourite swim family -
the Fords - Warwick,
Georgina, Naomi and
Kerri, who are returning to
Australia after a 22 year
stopover in Canada.
The girls have been very
successful swimmers for
Scarborough since 1986.
Warwick has been a
tireless club supporter and
swim meet official while
Georgina has continually
worked at bingos, swim
meets and as club
chaperone when the teams
travel.
The Fords were
presented with a Glen
%ates watercolour print of
"Blue Jays in Winter" a
splendid reminder of their
days in Canada, to be en-
joyed in their new home in
Brisbane.
"You all will be greatly
missed by the swim friends
you leave here in Scar-
borough but we wish you
good luck and prosperity in
your next venture," said
close friend Brian Pun -
chard as he presented the
gift on behalf of the dub
members and expressed
his personal gratitude for
the times he has shared
with the Fords in pro-
moting competitive swim-
ming in Scarborough.
A bountiful buffet of hot
and cold specialties was
devoured with delight, by
the host of hungry athletes
after which awards were
presented to the top male
and female swimmers in
each development level.
Age Group East winners
were Kristin Smith 11, and
Damieu Ponech 13; in Age
Group West it was Gloria
Imbers 10, and Andrew
Kwa 11. Alison Jotres 12,
was best female swimmer
in T.A.G.(Top Age Group)
with Chris Cailes honoured
as most improved male in
that group.
Overall top swimmer
awards for this 1990-91
season went to 15 year old
Kerri Ford and 18 year old
Jeff Guest, both whom will
swim for Scarborough in
this summer's National
Championships.
All swimmers making
Ontario Provincial Cham-
pionship qualifying times
this season were presented
with beautiful plaques
noting this achievement.
Youth National qualifiers
- Amanda Skopec 14, Bob
Hayes 14, Casey Cheung 15,
Brian Guerriero 16 and
Curt Punchard 16 - and the
National qualifying four-
some of Kerri Ford 15, Jeff
Guest 18, Nick Bilyk 17 and
Liz Warden 13, were all
recipients of plaques recor-
ding their top achievement
level for this season.
Happy holidays to those
who are breaking away
now! Good swimming to
those still competing in

Revoir, Fords!

Bill Watt's Worlds
IN PRINT:
One of the pleasures of a
columnist is to receive ad-
vance material on many
items of interest.
One of bur favourite
features on television is
Bill Bramah's Ontario on
Global.
Bill Bramah is a hand-
some man now in his sunset
years and he spends his
time travelling Ontario
with his devoted wife Jenny
unearthing interesting
facts and stories about
small town Ontario.
We are fortunate enough
to receive advance copies
,of his scripts and enjoy
reading them almost a
much as watching the
features on the tube.
Now we have received in
soft cover his third collec-
tion of such scripts. It's titl-
ed More Bill Bramah's On-
tario and is published by
Cannon Books. Though it
can be read cover to cover
and in a single sitting. we
suggest that maximum en-
joyment is achieved by
sampling it a bit at a time,
perhaps in a hammock on a
Lary curnrner afternoon or
in front of a crackling fine
during autumn or winter.
What ever, it's an ex-
cellent little book. A good
gift too for friends visiting
from out of the province or
the country.
Well done Bill.
ON STAGE:
Summer is upon us and
school is finally out. Soon,
the children will became
restless.
Why not take them to the
newly air conditioned ( It's
cool, man) Bayview
Playhouse for the welcome
return of Bill Baird's
Marionettes.
Currently playing is
Alice in Wonderland to be
followed on July 16th by
Davy Jones Locker.
Tuesdays through
Fridays there will be two
perf ormances at 10:30 a. in.
and 1:30 p.m. On Saturdays
there are three perfor-
mances 10:30 a.m., 1:30
P.m and 4:30 p.m. No per-
formances are on Sunday
or Monday.
Incidentally, Oxford
defines marionette as a
puppet worked by strings,
representing a person etc.
Puppet is defined as a
figure, usually small.
representing a human be-
ing especially one with
jointed limbs moved by
wires etc.
Got that clear now?
Opening on July 1st,
Canada's birthday, will be
Theatre Passe Muraille's
Laurier. It is the fifth part
of the play cycle. The
History of the Village of
Small Huts.
If it is like the four
earlier entries, it will be ir-
reverent, possibly shocking
and most certainly funnier
than hell.
For those who might be
unaware. here is a brief ex-
�anation of the descriptive
Wage of Small Huts. No
one, and think about this
now, really knows what the
word Canada means. There
are many versions of what
it is intended to mean
however. One of them is
that it is an Indian word,
probably Beothuk, mean-
ing Village of the Small
Huts, a description of the
ramshackle huts put up
during the early British
settlement of Terra
Primum Visa, the island
we now call Newfoundland.
Perhaps in a future col-
umn we'll describe the
shameful treatment of the
Beothuk. It was truly an
appalling time in our
history.
Anyway, and back to pre-
sent day realities, Laurier
will run until July 21st.
Theatre Passe Muraille is
at 16 Ryerson Avenue.
Parking isn't always the
best but there is public
transit virtually to the
door.
AL FRESCO:
The Canadian Stage
Company will again be
presenting free perfor-
mances of Shakespeare in
High Park this summer.
The selected work is As
You Like It. The script or-
dinardy used is one that
has come down to us from
the Victorians. It was
tampered with because the
original. or what survived
of it to that time, was con-
sidered subversive in its
explorations of gender -
Shakespeare is now
generally accepted to have
been bisexual -love,
freedom and identity.
For this production
Canadian Stage will be us-
ing the bard's 1623 Folio as
prepared and annotated by
Ned Freeman. It is the first
time toss version win have
been experienced in about
400 years.
It seems to us that for
such an auspicious occa-
sion, the world community
of critics and reviewers
should be invited.
Surely the government,
at whatever level, should
untie the purse strings and
underwrite the cost of br-
inging them in.
And, it had better be
soon. The fust production
is scheduled for July 6th.
FAST EXIT:
The maple leaf was for-
maUy adopted in 1824
( coincidentally, the year
that Toronto came into be-
ing) by the earliest St. Jean
Baptiste Society in Lower
Canada as the official
emblem of that French-

It's a cute little story and

an intro for the following.
"Never Too Late" is the

"Never Too Late" might
better now be retitled simp-
ly Too Late.
It was a thin play when
first presented circa 1954
but achieved moderate suc-
cess because of its then un-
common or unspoken
theme, that of middle or old
age parenthood in
Massachusetts yet!
The theme is now passe

a curiosity piece at least.
Now, there's nothing the
matter with wanks that
have dated. If that were the
case one couldn't enjoy
Shakespeare's historical
tin.
Unfortunately, Sumner
Arthur Long, a playwright
unknown to us is certainly
no Shakespeare, or Vidal or
even, Axelrod.
What he wrote with
..Never Too late" is a
situation premise, nothing
more. When the premise is
no longer novel, if indeed, it
ever was, the work mast
survive on its tines. There
are few of any consequence
here.
What then, is left? Only
good performances to
carry it off and hopefully
give it the appearance of
more substance than in
fact there really is. In the
main, this production gets
them.
Jamie Farr stars as the
gentleman facing paren-
thood fon the second time
better than 20 years after
the fust. Mr. Farr is a ge-
nuinely funny man and one
can't help chuckling at his
performance. Still it has to
be pointed out that it
smacks rather more of
Minsky than
Massachusetts.
Dawn Greenhalgh is his
wife and she is a gem as
she beautifully portrays
what appears to be a docile
wife and mother but one
who certainly can kindle
passion. One of the better
lines in "Never Too Late"
comes when her husband
says to her tenderly, "Be
careful, take it easy.
You're not as young as you
look. " Charming, and so
too is Miss Greenhalgh.
Adam Furfaro does nice-

Photo Exhibition Of Baboons Of Kenya
This exhibition of 37
fascinating colour
photographs at the Royal
Ontario Museum, portrays
the social behaviour and
activities of "The Pum-
phouse Gang", a troop of 65
baboons living in Kenya,
East Africa.
The complexities and
lifestyles of baboons have
been the focus of a 17 -year
study by Dr. Shirley C.
Strum, Associate Professor
of Anthropology at the
University of California.
The troop was named
after a pumphouse situated
near their favourite sleep-
ing site. When farmers in-
truded upon the baboons'
chosen habitat, Strum's
knowledge enabled her to
move them successfully to
a new home.
The exhibition illustrates
the life cycle of the baboon
from birth through infancy
to adulthood, focussing on
learning processes, play
activities, social relations,
and adaptation to the en-
vironment.
"Baboons of Kenya: The
Pumphouse Gang" con-
tinues to Jul. 21st and is in-
cluded with Museum ad-
mission. For more details

Simple Facts About Complex Carbohydrates
Now more than ever,
healthy eating means that
fat is `but". Complex car-
bohydrates, which are just
starches by another name,
are now "in". This means
that starchy foods such as
bread, potatoes, pasta,
rice, and beans, are fast
becoming the foods of
choice among the health
Why all this attention
now? After all, it wasn't too
long ago that these foods
were considered cheap
staples, unfashionable, and
worse yet - fattening. The
reason is that not only do
these foods taste good, but
foods that are high in com-
plex carbohydrates are
also good for you!
Some Great Complex Car-
bobydrate Choices
There are some delicious
ways to increase the
amount of complex car-
bohydrates you eat. Try
some of these suggestions:
- Bread of any kind, but
especially whole grains
such as whole wheat,
cracked wheat, rye,
oatmeal, and pumper-
nickel;
- Breakfast cereals,
especially whole grain,
oatmeal, or bran cereals;
- Pasta with a tomato and
vegetable sauce;
- Soups made with a varie-
ty of dried beans, peas,
cam lentils, vegetables,
barky, rice, or noodles
- Whole grain crackers,
crispbreads, bagels, muf-
fins, or English muffins are
a good alternative to
croissants, doughnuts, or
danisles for snacks;
- Rice or pasta salads;
Chick peas and kidney
beans added to salads.
Why Eat More Complex
Carbohydrate,,
First and foremost.
eating more complex car-
bohydrates means you will
be filling up on starchy
foods that may also be low
in fat. Beyond helping to
lower the fat in your did,
the benefits of eating more
complex carbohydrates,
especially those that are
high in fibre such as whole
trains and leg rues, in-
clude:
- Better weight manage-
ment because starch has
less than half the calories
of fat;
- Reduced risk of heart
disease by lowering blood
cholesterol keels;
- Better control of
diabetes;
- Prevention of common
digestive problems such as
constipation, diverticulosis
and hemorrhoids;
- Reduced risk of colon
cancer;
Increased intake of
vitamins and minerals,
especially thiamine,
riboflavin, niacin, and iron.
Starches Are Not Fatten-
ing!
It's what you add to the
starchy foods, the butter on
the bread, or creamy
cheese sauce on the pasta
that adds the extra fat and
calories.
For example, consider
the baked potato. A plain
baked potato contains
about 148 calories. Add two
tablespoons of sour cream
and the calories increase to
804. Add another tables-
poon of butter and the
calories add up to 304.
Even so, it is still corn -
mon for many people who
are set on slimming their
waistlines to pass up the
baked potato, or dinner roll
in favour of a larger piece
of steak. But the 375
calories in the steak are
more than twice the 148
calories found in the baked
potato.
Does this mean you
should avoid eating meat
and stop using butter, salad
dressing or sauces? Not at
all. But filling up on star-
chy foods, having a smaller
portion of meat and going
easy on the toppings can
help you to fed satisfied
and full while actually
helping you to cut down on
fat and calories. When
combined with physical ac-
tivity, this approach can be
a more practical way of
achieving a healthy weight.
An Added Boers: More
Fibre
Many foods that are high
in starch are also high in
fibre. This means that by
eating more complex car-
bohydrates, you may also
be eating more fibre.
It is generally recom-
tnended that most Cana-
dians need to double the
amount of fibre in their
did. To achieve all of the
benefits of high complex
carbohydrate diets, it is
important that we eat a
variety of high fibre foods.
Foods that are high in
starch and fibre include
whole grains such as whole
wheat, rye, oats, corn,
barley, or rice, and
legumes such as dried
beans of any variety, peas
or lentils. Breakfast
cereaK breads, muffins
and other baked goods
made with whole grains
are also an excellent
source of fibre.
Making the Change
The next time you sit
down to eat, take a look at
what is on your plate. If the
starchy food is the bigest
item of your meal, followed
by vegetables and the meat
serving, then you know you
are on the right track.
Making starches the
mainstay of your meals
does not mean you have to
get used to a whole new
way of eating. It mesas en-
joying many of the foods
that you are already
familiar with, such as the
recipe below.

Canadians make more than 10 million visits to their
chiropractor each year. An estimated one in three Cana-
dians has had chiropractic treatment, one in 10 within the
last year. Chiropractic is the third largest primary health
care profession in the country, after medicine and den-
t1Stry.
Chiropractic treatment was first recorded by Hip-
pocrates in ancient Greece, where it was widely practised.
The word is derived from Greek and means "treatment by
hand". Modern day chiropractors do not use drugs or
surgery.
Growing research evidence proves the cast -effectiveness
and results of chiropractic in treating back and back -
related problems, says the Ontario Chiropractic Associa-
tion.

FanFest which runs from July i - 9, 1991 at the Afetro
Toronto Convention Centre.
Ontario is prepping for the
biggest baseball experience
ever as "baseball fever" takes
over from July 5 - 9. It is being
billed as the "ultimate baseball
experience," an environment
where baseball fans and want -
to -be fans can participate in one
of the most innovative pleasures
Major League Baseball has ever
devised.
From July 5 - 9, Major
League Baseball and the
Toronto Blue Jays will host the
inaugural Coca-Cola All-Star
FanFest at the Metro Toronto
Convention Centre. This unpre-
cedented event will be an epic
baseball celebration and prel-
ude to the 62nd All-Star game
on July 9 at Skydome, the first
ever All-Star game to be played
in Ontario.
"It will be a magnificent en -
tertainment event that will tran-
scend .the sport itself." said
Drew Sheinman, Madison
Square Gardens Vice President
and FanFest project director. "It
will do wonders for baseball. It
will be spectacular."
The Metro Toronto Conven-
tion Centre's 150,000 square
foot arena will be convened into
a three-level baseball theme
park with appearances by legen-
dary players, past and present,
including Ferguson Jenkins, the
newly -elected member of Base-
ball's Hall of Fame and Fan-
Fest's Honorary Chairman.
Other "legends" scheduled to
appear and sign free autographs
include Reggie Jackson. Brooks
Robinson, Gaylord Perry, and
Joe Garagiola to mention a few.
Also, corning to FanFest is the
largest ever exhibit ever seen
OW of koopetstowa's Baseball
Hall of Fame Museum.
Items coning from the
Cooperstown Museum include
many of the baseball uniforms
worn by famous players; pro -
dating back to 1892,
induding World Series pro-
gram dating back to 1903; au-
tographed baseballs by such
legendary figures as Hoous
Wagner, Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb
and Mickey Mantle to name a
few.
Bats, shoes, gloves, masks,
lockers and seats complete the
baseball memorabilia coming
from the Baseball Hall of Fame
The Cooperstown exhibit is
only one of the numerous attrac-
tions whirr will be a part of
FanFest. Beginning with the
Line Drive Level, fans stand in
the shoes of an All-Star player
was they walk into the All-
Star Clubhouse" to be briefed
by the "AII-Star FanFest
Coach". A free FanFest sou-
venir magazine will await each
FanFest visitor at the "All-
Star" newsstand. On the
stadium level, fans can ex-
perience what it feels like to
walk out of the dugout onto the
playing field to the adulation of
thousands of spectators. The
world's largest baseball has
been built especially for Fan -
Fest and it will be on display.
..Spring Training- and -Tbe
Bullpen- will showcase the
newest technology in video
games. '.Spring Training's'.
The Determinator" batting
cage is a huge video wall where
an actual baseball is pitched out
of the screen and at the "Bull-
pen" ace relievers are able to
test their pitching ability with
the bases loaded as instan-
taneous radar readouts heighten
the sense of competition as they
register speed and location of
the ball.
"What might be most strik-
ing about FanFest is that fans
will get tremendous value for
their dollar. Each day the event
is open for 12 hours giving fans
plenty of time to enjoy each
aspect of the event. They are
able to roam freely from one
area to another and stay as long
as they like." said Project

Recent Policy Submissions
Proposed Class Pro-
ceedings Legislation
In a letter dated April 18,
1991 to Attorney General
Howard Hampton, the
board's Legislation Com-
mittee expresses its con-
cern that Ontario Bill 28,
the Class Proceedings Act,
1990 and Ontario Bill 29. the
Law Society Amendment
Act (Class Proceedings
Funding), 1990 will in-
crease the incidence of
court
action resulting in
higher Costs.
With regard to the con-
duct of class actions, the
board urges the govern-
ment to give favourable
consideration to the adop-
tion in Bill 211 of an "opt in"
approach for the purpose of
determining potential class
members. With respect to
Bill 29. the board recom-
mends that the duplication
of coverage for class action
disbursements be avoided
by revamping the legal aid
system.
Promoting Canadian
Pension Investment
7W.Guo Pension Funds.
The 1991 Federal Budget
contains a proposal to en-
courage pension funds to
invest more money in
Canadian equity markets
by taxing a pension fund's
investments in debt in-
struanents, while providing
a credit for a pension
fund's Canadian equity in-
vestments.
In an April 18, 1991 letter
to Finance Minister
Michael Wilson, the
board's Pension Policy
Commitee expresses
strong opposition to the
proposal on the following
grounds: it presents an at-
tack on the currently tax-
exempt basis of the Cana-
dian pension funds; it is an
unwarranted reaction to a
false perception of
underinvestment in
equities by pension funds;
it would add to the
regulatory burden of the
pension system; it would
not result in a substantial
increase in investment in
small, growing companies;
and finally, it takes no ac-
count of market forces in
determining the ap-
propriate asset mix of pen-
sion funds.
For these and other
reasons, the board recom-
mends that the proposal be
immediately withdrawn.
Front Street Extension
In an April 18, 1991 letter
to Metro's Transportation
Committee, the board's
Transportation Committee
urges Metro to proceed as
quickly as possible with the
Front Street exten-
sion 'interchange. The
board is a major supporter
of the project because it,
will relieve congestion
downtown, improve access
to the Gardiner Ex-
pressway and accom-
modate redevelopment in
the Central Business
District and central water-
front. Metro is currently
reviewing the present
status of the project.
Solid Waste Disposal for
tie Greater Toronto Area
(GTA)
On Apr. 2,1991, in a state-
ment to the I.egiislature,
the Ontario Minster of the
Environment, the Hon.
Ruth Grier. announced that
the search for long-term
disposal sites for the
Greater Toronto Area's
garbage will be contained
within the GTA's borders,
and that each regional
municipality (Peel,
Durham, York. Balton and
Yorkk. Metro Toronto) will
have their own landfill
sites. In a letter dated Apr.
18, 1991 to the minister, the
board expresses its con-
cerns
oo-cerns over the decision to
eliminate the option for
Metro to transport its
waste outside the GTA.
Two of the board's con-
cerns are: 1) that the cost
of long-term landfill sites
within the GTA will be
quite high, thereby driving
up the cost ua municipal
waste disposal. and 2) this
will undoubtedly put
pressure on each region
within the GTA to restrict
dhanping on landfill sites to
municipal waste, making it
more difficult and costly
for industry to find disposal
sites for its waste.
Air Services
In a Mar. 28, 1991 letter to
the Federal Minister of
Transport, the Hon. Doug
Lewis, the board's Air Ser-
vices Committee states its
support for improved air
transportation service
from the Toronto Island
Airport and requests that
the minister designate a
commuter air carrier to
provide inn -stop service
between the Island Airport
and Newark, New Jersey.
Labour Relations
On Mar. 26 a represen-
tative from the board's
Labour Relations Commit-
tee attended a group
meeting with Ontario
Labour Minstry policy of-
ficials to discuss the results
of consultations held with
employer, labour and com-
munity groups on proposed
statutory measures respec-
ting the labour adjustment
system in Ontario (see Ex-
ecutive Summary, April
1991). Issues considered
were the need for man-
datory labour -
management adjustment
committees, increasing the
notice requirements for
quality of our
undergraduate students.
Over the past three years
our undergraduate enrol-
ment has increased by 3o
percent. This autumn we
are looking at a further 12
percent increase in first-
year students. It appears
this new facility is already
fully committed," says
Kim In nanen, Dean of the
Faculty of Pure and Ap-
plied Science.
The Government of On-
tario earlier provided $1.4
million to the science
building program for plan-
ng -
group terminations, enhan-
cing the severance pay pro-
visions, alternatives to
closures and possible
legislated advance notice
of technological change.
Labour Relations
On Apr. 4, represen-
tatives from the board's
Labour Relations Commit-
tee met with an Ontario
Labour Ministry senior
policy advisor to discuss
the board's submission on
proposals to amend labour
legislation with respect to
contract tendering ( see Ex-
ecutive Summary, April
1991). The proposed
amendments, as discussed,
are intended to apply to
cleaning. food and security
services that are supplied
to uxkjstnal plants by in-
dependent contractors. The
board stressed its serious
concerns with the proposed
amendments to the
Employment Standards
Act and the Labour Rela-
tions Act and urged the
government not to imple-
ment thern.
Insurance
tatives of the board's
In-
surance Committee met
with Blair Tully. Deputy
Minister. Auto Insurance
Review, Ontario Ministry
of Financial Institutions, to
discuss the board's submis-
sions on proposed c43anges
to the present automobile
insurance plan (see Ex-
ecutive Summary,
February 1991) .
The board recorrunended
that consideration be given
to enhancing the present
Ontario Motorist Protec-
tion Plan coverages by pro-
viding benefits for
economic loss, indexed in-
demnity benefits and
revisiting the "threshold"
definition taking into con-
sideration the additional
costs involved. Never-
theless, if the government
is determined to provide
for some form of govern-
ment ownership of auto in-
mwance, the board recom-
mended that it be done in
patnersbip with the free
enterprise system.
Federal Budget

legislated limits on pro-

Metro Council News
Toronto Islands
Metro Chairman Alan
Tonks told council on June
19th, that he is very upset
with Richard Johnston's
report to the provincial
government on the Toronto
Islands.
Mr. Tonks said that
Queen's Park seems only
interested in ramming
through the proposed
changes into legislation
and no discussion with
Metro, the owners of the
lands.
According to Chairman
Tonks the hooses and land
on the Toronto Islands
should stay in public
ownership and not be given
to private home owners
and certainly not to see
more housing built on the
islands.

PEI Home Of Piping
International College
by Kumari Campbell
In the summer of 1990,
The College of Piping &
Celtic Performing Arts of
Canada opened its doors in
Summerside, Prince Ed-
ward Island. The im-
mediate question that spr-
ings to mind is, "Why
Prince Edward Island?"
Believe it or not, Prince
Edward Island, Canada's
smallest province, boasts
the highest percentage of
Celtic descendants of all
Canadian provinces!
The Prince County
Caledonia Club in western
Prince Edward Island has
been actively promoting
Celtic traditions on the
Island for the past 25 years.
Five years ago they began
offering bagpipe and drum-
ming lessons. The response
from the local community
was so encouraging that
the College of Piping was
created.
The decision was made
early in the planning stages
that the College was to be a
world-class operation
rather than an institution
geared solely to local
needs. Therefore, the next
step was to become af-
filiated with the College of
Piping in Glasgow,
Scotland, the world-
renowned training centre
for the Celtic performing
arts.
Engaging internationally
acclaimed piper Scott
MacAulay as director of
the College has certainly
lent much credibility to the
institution. So has the fact
that the curriculum and
course syllabus used at the
College are similar to those
used by the College of Pip-
ing in Glasgow. The Col-
lege in Summerside is the
only such international
school of Celtic performing
arts outside Scotland.
As well, accreditation
received from the College
takes the farm of certifica-
tion from the College of
Piping in Glasgow. This
means that North
Americans can now
receive international ac-
creditation in the Celtic
performing arts at far less
cost, and greater conve-
nience, on Prince Edward
Island.
Indeed, MacAulay ad-
mits that after less than a
full year of operation the
College is already receiv-
ing serious inquiries from
all over North America as
well as several Com-
monwealth countries.
The College of Piping &
Celtic Performing Arts of
Canada currently offers
courses in piping, drumm-
ing, Highland dance, fiddl-
ing, tin whistle, Irish flute
and Celtic guitar. All
courses are offered at
beginner, intermediate and
advanced levels to accom-
modate various competen-
cies.
In addition to courses
taught on campus, the Col-
lege also offers courses at
two satellite locations on
the Island. As well, short

workshops and summer
camps in piping, dnunm-
ing and dance play an im-
portant role in the year-
round program of the Col-
lege.
The ability to attract in-
ternationally acclaimed ar-
tists as both instructors
and students is a testament
-of excellence for the Col-
lege. Instructor ac-
complishments include:
Champion Supreme Drum-
mer of Nova Scotia, Prince
Edward Island Dance
Champions and World and
Canadian Highland Danc-
ing Champions.
Scott MacAulay is one of
North America's best
known pipers. He has
numerous championships
to his credit and has per-
formed, taught and ad-
judicated across North
America, Scotland and
New Zealand. As well he
continues to compose
bagpipe music and release
albums.
The College of Piping is
housed in a new facility
that includes a lavish
rehearsal! recital hall, a
large dance studio, several
teaching practice rooms. a
library resource centre,
boardroom, adminstrative
offices, Highland supply
store and limited dor-
mitory accommodtions for
students. An outdoor am-
phitheatre will be a new ad-
dition for the 1991 summer
season, and long-range
plans call for other
buildings including a
separate dormitory.
The retail outlet is an im-
portant facet of the College
as it stocks genuine Celtic
instruments from the "Old
Country" that are in short
supply and great demand
in North America.
The timing of P.E.I.
tourism industry's two-
year Celtic theme celebra-
tion erne at an opportune
time for the College. In 1990
the College was active in
the "We're Akin to
Ireland" Irish celebration
and will be even mote in-
volved in this year's ..Road
to the Isle" Scottish
heritage celebration.
An extensive schedule of
events includes the 1991
Summerside Highland
Gathering & world Invita-
tional Highland Dancing
Challenge in June which is
expected to attract solo
pipers, drummers and
dancers from around the
world, as well as a large
number of pipe bands from
Eastern Canada and the
American Eastern
Seaboard.
A Highland Games will
feature traditional
Highland sports such as
caber toss, hammer throw,
and tug-of-war, as well as
kilted golf tournament and
an opening parade with at-
tendant pipe and drum
bands.
For the serious con-
noisseur of Celtic music, a
summer concert series has
been planned that is
guaranteed to bring hours
of delightful music by in -

Prince Edward Island Scottish Heritage is the focus of
.celebrations in the eastern Canadian province during 1991.
The first Scottish settlers to arrive on Prince Edward
Island were Highlanders in 1770. Today, approximately 40
percent of the Island's 13000 residents are of Scottish des-
cent. The Scottish influence can be detected in many com-
munity names like Uigg, Glengarry and Kilmuir.

Wear Your
Lifejacket
Most of the people who
died in boating accidents
last year drowned in inland
water; many were within a
few feet of safety. Most of
those who drowned owned
lifejackets, but when they
died, they were not wear-
ing them.
The Royal Life Saving
Society Canada (RLSSC)
urges people who use small
boats to make sure, before
leaving shore, that
everyone on board is wear-
ing a well -fitting lifejacket
or personal flotation device
PFD).
The law requires that
each boat must have on
board a Department of
Transport approved per-
sonal flotation device in
orange, red or yellow for
each person. However, the
RLSSC warns that if the
lifejacket is tucked away
inside the boat and not
worn, boaters take a
chance of become a boating
statistic. Most fatal ac-
cidents are capsizes or falls
overboard. They happen
suddenly, without warning
and with no time to get into
a lifejacket.
If boaters fall into the
water, lifejackets keep
them afloat while they tend
to the urgent business of
climbing back into or onto
their boats or keeping still
in the water to forestall
hypothermia until help ar-
rives.
Remember your PFD is
the best "life insurance"
policy afloat, but it won't
work if you don't wear it,
Be Water Smart .. make
every trip a round trip . .
wear your lifejacket or
PFD.
