"The Housesitters" was initiated in July 1989 after Pickering Village resident, Sherry Goodwin was employed at the Housesitters limited's Head Office in Toronto. Since 1981, the head of- fice was finding an ever in- creasing number of clients from Durham Region. Sherry recognized the op- portunity and need to pro- vide a more local based service. She approached her mother, Helen Taylor about becoming partners in the franchaise, initially for Ajax Pickering. Being life- time residents and wat- ching the phenomenal growth rate of Durham region in recent years, both Goodwin and Taylor realiz- ed the need for a profes- sioml, local hoose -sitting and pet -care service for residents. Both mother and daughter have over 17 years of experience m the service industry combined. They knew if they could provide a personalized ser- vice at an affordable rate, they would be a success. The Housesitters started as a service specializing in bowie, pet and family care for travellers. By January of 1990 the company's success in the Ajax -Pickering area led to consolidation of service with the Oshawa • Whitby branch office. This expan- sion included the Townships of Uxbridge, Newcastle, Scugog and Brock. The Housesitters - Durham Region was born! The increase in market - size led to an expansion in services offered.

July 31, 1991 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Op - Ed Piece by Ion King President, The Board of Trade of Metropolitan Toronto Business may not be booming in Metro these days, but its voice is loud and clear. Ensuring that it continues to be heard is my responsibility as I begin my term as president of The Board of Trade of Metropolitan Toronto. It should be a challenging year, to say the least. The ac- tions and staid intentions of the provincial NDP govern- ment have given us cause for concern on a number of fronts. Traditionally, the Board has been a key player in the life of this province, making the views of its 15,000 members heard in the halls of government at all levels for 146 years. Now. however, we are struggling in an unusually un- friendly political environment. While claiming it wants to involve the business community in dialogue, the current government at Queen's Park at the same time seems deter- mined to pursue its own agenda singlemindedly. no matter the cost to business and ultimately. the wellbeing of the pro- vince as a whole. The results of this closed -door policy have already had a serious effect on the perceptions regarding the economy of the province. Repercussions resulting from three fun- damental policy decisions demonstrate Queen's Park's disregard for an already hobbled commercial sector: The 1991-92 budget - with its increased spending and 219% increase in the provincial deficit plus further forecast deficits for 1992 and 1993 - is clearly treading the wrong road. It %rill not tackle the reality of otr seriously threaten- ed competitive situation, and someday, someone is going to have to pay the bills - and it cannot come out of increased taxes! Bill 70 - the legislation regarding the Employee Wage Protection Program. If enacted as originally planned, it would have done irreparable damage to the commercial and industrial fabric of the province. Ironically. severe public and media reaction to the proposed legislation forced the government to make some changes that may address some of the more glaring problems. Had the business com- munity been consulted about the legislation in the first place, the government might not have had to backtrack on Bill 70. A package of labour reform proposals now being developed by the government will seriously disturb the balance between labour unions and business and will have the effect of discouraging business investment and curbing job growth in Ontario. Already very favourable to unioniza- tion, Ontario would become the most pro -union jurisdiction in North America should the amendments be enacted. Some of the many contentious arnenximents on the table in- clude: the automatic union certification with no vote if 50% plus one of the employees signed union cards: forbidding employers to use any person, either management or tem- porary staff, to perform work during a strike. and the elimination of the employer's right to require a secret ballot vote on any offer. These kinds of straightjacket may dwcotrage new investment and help drive out existing businesses. Queen's Park does not seem aware of or concerned about the fast -eroding international position of many of the pro- vince's companies, which will be made even less com- petitive by some of the initiatives of this government. Nor does the government seem to understand that healthy businesses are essential to what should be the com- mon goal - ensuring a continued high standard of living for all members of society. In an era of open borders and cost advantages in other jurisdictions, business will take its jobs and investment dollars elsewhere. The threat is alarmingly real. The Financial Post has reported that Buffalo's Chamber of Commerce has receiv- ed a phenomenal 2,300 inquiries from Canadian companies thinking of relocating south of the border. We're in danger of not just losing our shoppers over the border but losing the shop as well. Metro Toronto may enjoy one of the world's highest stan- dards of living today, but as we've seen through these tough economic times, the business activity and jobs that make this possible are not guaranteed. No government can com- mand businesses to continue to operate here. And they won't - unless they can operate in a competitive, welcoming environment, where their legitimate concerns are heard by the policymakers. With some of Queen's Park actions flying in the face of market realities, we at the Board of Trade feel a special responsibility to help the government recognize the seriousness of the current environment.

Marcel Masse has announced a Government of Canada contribution of $902,957 to the Government of On- tario, under terms of the Joint Emergency Preparedness Program c JEPP I This is the sixth year of an ongoing pro- gram to enhance emergency preparedness in Ontario municipalities. The funds wit] help pay for 84 emergency preparedness projects throughout the province. final analysis, we are talking about jobs, and the ability of the people of Ontario to find satisfying and rewarding employment in the province where they live. Unless the political climate for investment improves, Ontario could find business investment - and jobs - enriching the stan- dards of living in other jurisdictions, not here at home. Take Noxious Action In Purple Loosestrife Invasion Purple loosestrife, an imported European plant that's killing more than one million acres of wetlands across North America each year, can now be controlled by municipalities as a noxious weed. But local councils must pass relevant bylaws declaring purple loosestrife in their municipality noxious before their weed control officer can act on what's become known as "the purple plague". The Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters (OFAH) has sent a letter to all Ontario municipalities, urging them to act on the loosestrife threat. Purple loosestrife dythrum salicaria) was introduced to North America more than a century ago, but has only in re- cent years begun to devastate wetlands. The plant probably was imported from Europe in ballast water dumped in the Great lakes. Deceivingly beautiful, the plant's three-foot stems of pur- ple blooms are destroying treasured wetlands across the province. Once purple loosestrife infiltrates a wetland, it pushes aside all indigenous plants vital to the habitat of this province's fish and wildlife. It has no known predator in On- tario. Aside from its effect on fish and wildlife, loosestrife also robs us of a wetland's ability to purify ground water and control flooding. Although the province has yet to announce a purple loosestrife strategy - lagging behind many American jurisdictions - it has allowed local noxious weed status for the plant. Bruce County was the first municipality to use the status to control its huge spread of loosestrife. "You have purple loosestrife in your municipality," Rick Morgan, OFAH executive vice president states in the letter to municipalities. "In July and August, their blooms tower everywhere, and each year they increase in number. One plant produces 2.7 million seeds, and as they increase, more fish and wildlife become homeless. Ontario has already lost more than 75 percent of its %•etlands since the turn of the century - we cannot afford to lose any more!" Has your municipality acted against purple loosestrife . . The Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters, with 74,000 members, is Ontario's largest conservation organiza- tion. Here and There Grants Support Ontario's Literacy Strategy Education Minister Marion Boyd has announced that the Ontario government will provide $31.8 million to Ontario Basic Skills and Ontario Basic Skills in the Workplace pro- grams throughout the province. Of the total, $?8.09 million will be allocated to Ontario Basic Skills programs at 23 community colleges in 100 loca- tions in the province. Eighteen Ontario Basic Skills in the Workplace grants totalling $3.7 million will fund union and other organizations to deliver training at over 250 worksites. The Ontario Basic Skills program provides a broad range of basic skills training in reading, writing, mathematics and science to grade 12 equivalency, as well as computer literacy, life skills, and work adjustment skills. Ontario Basic Skills in the Workplace provides incentive funding to unions and employers or their non -pmt delivery agents. The program provides funding for literacy, Language training, basic numeracy and science, as well as other basic skills. "Literacy and numeracy skills are essential to personal and professional growth," Mrs. Boyd said. "Investment in people must be understood to be as important as invest- ment in capital or in research and development. Ontario Arts Council Introduces New Dance Award The national Jean A. Chalmers Choreographic Award has been re -structured to allow for two different award levels. Every two years, a new $20,000 award will be presented to an individual who has made an outstanding contribution to nurturing creativity in dance in Canada. This new award will be called the Jean A. Chalmers Award for Creativity in Dance. In addition to the financial prize, the Ontario Arts Council in cooperation with the Ontario Crafts Council will commis- sion a work of art to be presented to the recipient of the Jean A. Chalmers Award for Creativity in Dance. The objective of this new award is to recognize in- dividuals whose work continues to influence creativity in dance. The impact of these individual contributions may be manifested through their teaching, by the standards they have set through work on or off stage, or simply through the environment they have created allowing creativity to flouish. This award will honour individuals whose careers in dance continue to set standards for innovation and ex- cellence. r-----------------------------------------.� Give A Gift That Lasts All Year!

July 31, 1"1 Bill Watt's Worlds IN PRINT: The most recent United Nations human develop- ment report has ranked Japan as the best country in the world in which to live. Well, perhaps. We sug- gest, however, that before choosing the Land of the Rising Sun (Beyond the Blue Horizon anyone?) as a final home, one should read The Hollow Doll (A Little Box of Japanese Shocks) by William Bohnaker, published by Ballantine. The author purports in it to describe today's Japan. not the traditional one of quaint tea ceremonies, samurais and geishas but the Japan of today. It is now a nation driven by conspicuous con- sumerism, betrayed by a work ethic gone awry into compulsion, tortured (sometimes literally) by a brutal education system and where women are still servile. Oh yes, geishas have now been replaced by bar girls. Realistically, a short book by one person cannot. should not be considered definitive or even com- prehensive. Yet. there is enough here to make one see in modern Japan the worst excesses of an industrial revolution. the continuing dominance of the male ethos. the clon- ing of the worst of North American television broad- casting 1 those commer- cials!) and the deteriora- tion of the oriental values once esteemed by the rest of the world. It is. in its w-av a sad and disappointing commen- tan•. The author Bohnaker. however. weakens his case by a plethora of pseudo in- tellectualism. One has the impression that he regards himself as a modern renaissance man: in fact his writing style makes him come across as little better than a well intention- ed dilettante. As a reporter, he might or might not be accurate. As a commentator be is far too artsyfay- artfay. No where does he betray himself more than in his improper usage of English words. Children are children, they are not kids: the plural of formula and sanatorium respectively is are formulae and sanatoria, not forumlas and sanatorium. The list goes on. If his grasp of English is not all that great, then can his grasp of the Japanese language not be suspect? And, given that, how much credence can one put in The Hollow Doll. Enough, we think to make it a worthwhile ex- perience but not enough to evoke complete dependence upon it asa standard reference. We're aware that there's no verb in that sentence but ex- posure to Mr. Bohnaker's style can cause one to eschew fundamental writing disciplines. No pretensions of any kind are made for The Book of Chinese Beliefs by Frena Bloomfield (Ballan- tine). It is described quite accurately as a compen- dium of philosophy. customs and healing tradi- tions. It's better, we believe, than The Hollow Box for the simple reason that Miss Bloomfield reports: she does not comment. She also realizes that an entire race cannot be neat- ly compartmentalized into considerations of social mores. There is enough and proper description, however, of fung shui-what North Americans might consider Good Vibes -and its importance to virtually all Chinese. And now, with some trepidation but confidence in the goodwill of our readers we quote from the book. a few passages that hopefully can clear up some of the difficulties not being encountered in our own communities. "It is worth pointing out that certain aspects of life among the Chinese simply do not carry the polite obligations of western society. For example, the Chinese, like most Asians, never queue for anything if they can manage not to and their eagerness to get on the bus, off the train or in the lift before anyone else is a rather natural reaction among the very Poor. . if they hesitate, hun- dreds more will instantly be ahead of them. "lt is only the westerner. fortunate to come from a society rich enough to allow most people the con- fidence to know that there will be more -more buses, more trains, more food - who can afford to stand back for others.'. It is difficult to change the habits of generations. Just a little more tolerance please. To All Appearances A Lady by Marilyn Bowering (Fawcett Crest) is a fascinating novel about life in the late 19th century China and Canada. We will not attempt here to summarize the story of Miss India Thackeray, bewitching though it is. That's a pleasure to be derived by the reader. What should be mention- ed, however, is the wealth of, to us at least, little known historical informa- tion about Canada's west coast, specifically Victoria. the staid capital of British Columbia. At one time it was the centre of a thriving opium industry and all quite legal. Probably the most important of the pro - COSYHUNGARIAN RESTAURANT LL.B.O.

AT THE O'KEEFE: Meet Me In St. Louis opens next Tuesday at The O'Keefe for an all too brief run. only until the end of the week. The show is an in- teresting example of the turns that show business can take. For many years, good stage musicals became motion pictures eventually. However, musicals haven't fared well on screen in latter years -both Annie and A Chorus line bombed, mote or less deservedly -and so one now frequently sees stage musicals that began as motion pictures. One thinks of Singin' in the Rain, Sweet Charity mavbe i . Seven Brides For Seven Brothers and Gqp among others. Meet Me in St. Louis was originally a light novel by Sally Benson who also wrote Junior Miss. Made into a movie musical. it opened on New Year's Eve, 1944 and was a runaway hit. Over the years, it has come to be regarded by many as one of director Vincent Minelli's best. A few years ago -we're not sure just when -it became a stage musical and enjoyed considerable initial success. Now it tours and it is a touring version that is coming to The O'Keefe. The star is Debbie Boone who has become a good lit- tle actress. One remembers her pleasurably a couple of summers ago in The Sound of Music. Your correspondent has not seen the stow previous- ly but we are told that all of the songs from the motion picture are included plus a few new ones. For us, however, the best song from the show remains the poignant The Boy Next Door. Judy Garland and Tom Drake, the boy, are alas, no longer with us but the song is. Meet us at The O'Keefe for Meet Me in St. Louis. You'll be glad you did. Warranted!

Annual Miss Toronto Pageant Big Success With Performers The 56th annual Miss Toronto Pageant run by the Metropolitan Toronto Police Amateur Athletic Association (MTPAAA ) was held last Sat.

Above, the winner and 1991 Miss Toronto was Julianne Gillies of Toronto, 1st ruunerup was Ruby Campbell of Toronto, and 2nd r nnerup was Carolyn Pollock of Scarborough, 3rd runnerup was Sheryl Shaw of Noah York and 4th rvnnerup was Stella Kouroukis of North York. The pageant included performances by ..Badge" - Ron Henderson and Rick Milson; vocalists - Falconer Abraham and Sonia Collymore and Neil Bartram and a jazz dance duet of Keri Tkacz and Ted Banfalvi.

Oh, and you shouldn't need the Mothersill's on the Empress of Canada. STREET SEEN: Though there are many things happening in Toron- to that we don't care for, there are just as many that give cause for pleasure. One of them is the assign- ment of topical names for various areas of the city and the noting of them on the street signs there. We were privileged to at- tend recently a ceremony in which the north side of King St., west from Duncan to John St. was designated Mirvish Walkway. This was on the day before the 77th birthday of the man who has given so much to the city. It was a memorable occasion and, we understand, the brain- child of publicist Gino Em - pry. Well done. After the ceremonies we repaired to the new Royal Lounge of the Royal Alex- andra for refreshments. Friends, if you have not already done so, you really must see this new lounge which is under the main lobby. One reaches it by descending a carpetted staircase that has been constructed just to the left of the cloak room. The design is spacious and the ddcor is in keeping with the rest of the theatre, scarlet, ivory and gold. We believe it to be the loveliest theatre lounge in the city. The space it occupies was unused for many years. Originally, however, it was where ice was kept to cool the theatre. Many have forgotten that the Royal Alex was the first air conditioned theatre in Toronto, possibly in all of North America. The Mirvish Walkway and the new Royal Lounge; two worthy additions to the city. AL FRESCO: Jack Grunsky whose albums Imaginery Window and Children of the Morn- ing were reviewed here recently can be seen and heard at the Dempster's Children's Festival in On- tario Place starting today. Mr. Grunsky will appear through Aug. 4th, then from Aug. 7th through the 11th. Well worth a visit with the little ones. FAST EXIT ONE: While at Ontario Place remember that the Na- tional Ballet is appearing at The Forum on Aug. 7th and 8th. Pay particular attention to the costuming. Someone is probably making this up but we understand that much of it is now being made in Tennessee. The young ladies will be wear- ing Chattanooga tutus. FAST EXIT TWO: Yes, we know the capital of Tennessee is Nashville, not Chattanooga as stated in a recent column. Just wanted to make sure you were on your toes. Proceeds Of Play Helps Shelter by Carol Guenther Enriching the communi- ty is the goal of Act One, a nonprofit theatre company of young adults. All pro- ceeds from their perfor- mances of Beth Henley's Pulitzer prize-winning play, "Crimes of the Heart" are being donated to the Emily Stowe Shelter for Women. "Act One mandate is two -fold," said Annette Stokes -Harris, the com- pany's Artistic Director. "We want to involve young people in an artistic endeavour that provides entertainment for the com- munity. At the same time, we want to do some good by supporting charities that benefit women and children." Although less than two years old, Act One already has an impressive track record in raising money for worthy causes. Last year, the company raised over $1,000 for Rosalie Hall, a maternity home for single women. At this year's production, "Crimes of the Heart". the company's commitment to its artistic mandate was evidenced by six outstan- Preserve Once the pharaoh of mod- em menus, lusciously deca- dent desserts are back in fash- ion. Among the most Popular are freshly harvested rhubarb, strawberries and peaches used in rediscovered favorites like pies, tarts and cheese cakes. Unfortunately, many busy cooks find the tremendous potential of these delicious fruits is limited by the fact that their peak flavor seasons are so brief. Thus, many consumers are rediscovering the an of can- ning to preserve a selection of the best tastes of spring and summer in a jar. Seating aside a couple of hours to make home canned fruit fill- ings yields the makings for wonderful all natural treats to chase away autumn's chill or February blahs. Unlike their store-bought counterparts in which the proportion of "sweet starchy filling" to "fruit" is overwhelming, these recipes yield luscious fruit -rich mix- tures with abundant natural flavor and texture. ding performances. The play's themes of mutual support and unconditional love were sensitively ex- plored through the skilled portrayals of the interrela- tionships of the characters. The production is par- ticularly impressive in the strength of its female per- formances. The Magrath sisters, Meg, Babe, and Lennie, are played by Beth Jost, Eileen Morrisson, and Annette Stokes -Harris. The superb ensemble playing of the three leading actresses evokes the humour, tragedy and warmth of the sisters' lives and relation- ships. Each performance is strong and distinctive. The fragility and tentativeness of Lennie's character con- trasts with Meg's im- penetrable exterior and Babe's childlike emotional state. The male characters, played by Brendan Wall and Matthew Yeldon, ex- hibited caring and genuine understanding, while Fiona Wall was entertaining as the overbearing Chick Boyle. Showtimes were July 26 and 27, at Pope John Paul II School, 625 Military Trail, Scarborough. All proceeds went to the Emily Stowe Shelter for Women. Here and There Withdraw Nuk Nite Time Pacifier Gerber (Canada) Inc. and Consumer and Corporate Af- fairs Canada have announced the voluntary withdrawal by Gerber of the NUK Nite Time Handleless Pacifier. The pacifiers have a regular -sized nipple and the name NUK ap- pears twice on the central button.

No Cards For Craig Craig Shergold, an 11 year old boy from Surrey, England who had a malig- nant brain tumor, wanted to make it into the Guiness Book of World Records for receiving the most get well cards. One of the British newspapers picked up his story and the world has beaten a path to his doorstep paved with get well cards. He made the Guiness Book with over 116 million cards in October, 1990. Since then, through the generosity of an American philanthropist, Craig has been flown to the USA for specialized brain surgery which was successful. Craig is expected to live a normal life. That should be the happy ending to the story, but it isn't. The cards keep com- ing and they can't turn them off. There are chain letters circling the world still begging you to "take a few minutes to make his wish come true". At last count the Shergolds have received 33 million cards and they're still flooding in. To add to their problems, someone has started a second chain asking for business cards to be sent to Craig and they are pouring in up to 10,000 per day. The Shergold family never asked for business cars. They don't want them nor do they want any more J.E.

This summer, 10 venues throughout Southern On- tario and in Montreal, Que., will host weekend street ( ball) hockey com- petitions in eight different age groups. The concept of the Three - on -Three Street Hockey Challenge was devised and developed three years ago by native Torontonians, brothers Brian and Bruce Hayward. Brian, the more publicly recognized of the two men, is the veteran National Hockey League goaltender with the 1991 Stanley Cup contenders, the Minnesota North Stars. The Three -On -Three schedule included Bramp- ton on June 8th and 9th, Oshawa on June 15th and 16th. Scarborough on June 22nd and 23rd, Verdun on July 6th and 7th, Kitchener on July 13th and 14th. Burl- ington on July 20th and 21st, London on Aug. 3rd and 4th, Mississauga on Aug- 10tb and 11th, North York on Aug. 17th and 18th and Hamilton on Aug. 24th and 25th. The competitive age categories at each event are: six and seven, eight and nine, 10 and 11, 12 and 13, 14 and 15, 16 and 17, adult ( competitive - elite division) and adult (recreation - just for fun). At each tournament, prizes will be awarded to both the overall champion- ship team and the first runner-up team in all com- petitive divisions. Each championship team will claim prizes worth sug- gested manufacturers' retail prices totalling a minimum of $500 per team while each runner-up team will receive awards totall- ing a minimum of $200 per team. Only the adult elite divi- sion play for cash which will be divided as follows: $600 to the first -place team, $200 to the second -place team, $100 to the third- place team and $100 to the fourth -place team. Not unlike the ball hockey played in neighbourhood streets, yards and parking lots, each team competing in Three -on -Three Street Hockey Challenge tour- naments are comprised of four players (three on the playing surface at any one time with free substitution from the bench). "When a team is on of- fence ( control of the ball over the centre line in the opposing team's end of the rink) the goalkeeper is the key to a successful team," explained Bruce Hayward. "The goalie can move up and join in the offensive play. When on offence your goaltender becomes a for- ward, and you are working a three -on -two against the opposition because they are on defence and must have a player guarding the goal. The goalkeeper can't come outside the crease area of the goal," says Bruce Hayward. Very similar to ice hockey, penalties will be imposed by officials for in- fractions of the game in- cluding, where warranted, Penalty shots - All games are 20 minutes in length straight time. A team is guaranteed a minimum of two games. Pickering's Wesingi Wins Knockout Chess Title Pickering's Wesingi Wins Knockout Gess Title National Candidate Master Uno H.

However, the training is well mixed with swimming, sports, recrea- tion and relaxation. The students who will at- tend the Officer Training Camp were chosen by their Metro Toronto Board of Trade Recent Policy Submissions Revised Proposals to amend the Enforcement Provisions of the Ontario Securities Act. In a letter dated June 6, 1991 to the Chairman of the Ontario Securities Com- m. ion (OSC). The Board reiterates its view that it is essential that directors and officers of public com- pamies be able to determine with a strong degree of cer- tainty what is permitted or not permitted under the law. The Board recommends that a knowledge test be added to a proposed provi- sion that vests powers in the OSC to make orders against a person or a com- pany acting in a profes- sional capacity for counselling a breach of the securities law. Small Claims Court In a letter dated June 27, 1981 to the Attorney General for Ontario, The Board's Legislation Com- mittee expresses its con- cern that the monetary limits on the jurisdiction of the Small Claims Court may unfairly restrict ac- cess to the judicial system. The Board recommends that the government in- crease the prescribed amount of the maximum claim or value from SI.Wo to $3,000 for actions in the Small Claims Court outside the Judicial District of York. This increase will make equal the monetary limits of the Small Claims Court throughout Ontario. Restructuring of Ontario's Education System In three Separate sub- missions dated June 27, 1991 to Ontario's Minister of Education, The Board's Education Committee responds to the Ministry's request for input to the con- sultation process associated with the restructuring of education in Ontario. The Board's views on destreaming and the need for objective formal assessments of each stu- dent's progress in core sub- jects are expressed, as is the hope that revamping of technological education leads to a new understan- ding of the importance of technology in today's economy and society. Additional Runways at Pearson In a letter dated June 27, 1991 to the Federal En- vironmental Assessment Review Office iFEARO), The Board's Air Services Committee supports the recently released En- vironmental Impact State- ment (EIS) reviewing the proposed additional rn- ways at Pearson. The Board strongly supports the proposal to ensure that Metro Toronto maintains a competitive transporation infrastructure and urges FERRO to get on with the hearing process as soon as possible. Extended Parking Restric- USES In a June 27, 1991 letter to Metro's Transporation Committee, The Board's Transporation Committee comments on the proposal to extend parking protui,bi- tiors on Metro arterial roads to cover the periods 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. to 7: 00 p. m. Local municipalities would also be encouraged to enact similar regulations. The Board suggests the key to improved traffic movement for all vehicles is better law enforcement. The Board proposes in- creased enforcement by traffic wardens, under the control of Metro Police. which would be cost neutral, and draws atten- tion to the need for off- street parking to accom- modate any loss to on - street parking. Status of "Let's :love" In itiiative In a June T, 1991 letter to Ontario Transporation Minister Ed Philip. The Board's Transporation committee comments on the need to get on with designing and building pro- jects contained in the pro- vince's "Let's Move" tran- sit initiative. The Boards seeks clarification over the priority of the eight dif- ferent projects given the preset economic and budgetary situation of the province. The Board believes that a priority for one or two of the projects, exempt from the lengthy environmental assessment process, should be iden- tified so that jobs and an in- vestment in Metro's future can be provided now. Rent Control In a June 27, 1991 letter to Ontario Housing Minister Dave Cooke, The Board's Planning Committee pro- vides preliminary com- ments on the province's new permanent rent con- trol legislation, Bill 121. The Board highlights the dramatic change in the housing market over the last year, stating that the government has missed a tremendous opportunity to school for their leadership qualities. This training en- sures that the youngsters are ready to perform their pairol duties in an efficient manner during the school year. School Safety Patrollers work in school areas and on school buses to protect their fellow students on their way to and from school from the dangers of traffic. CAA Toronto cooperates with police forces and school boards in organizing school Safety Patrols by supplying materials such as badges, membership cards, in- struction manuals and record books. encourage further rental construction and the crea- tion of jobs. Over the sum- mer, The Board will pro- vide further comments on the legislation and appear before the General Govern- ment Committee at Queen's Park reviewing the legislation. City of Toronto Anti -idling sy-Law In a letter dated June 14, 1991 to the Manager of Toronto's Healthy City of- fice, the Board's En- vironmental Quality Com- mittee supports the intent of an anti -idling by-law to reduce pollution and vehi- cle emissions. The Board recognizes, however, that there must be a number of exemptions to such a by- law and lists several in its letter. The Board's initial concern is that if each municipality develops its own destinct by -lax', the regulations will be confus- ing to vehicle operators and therefore compliance will become difficult. Health Care In a May 30, 1991 letter responding to The Board's submission to the Ontario government outlining a proposal to use the Employer Health Tax to furl workplace health pro- motion activities (March 1991). Treasurer Floyd Laughren termed The Board's concept "construc- tive" and "helpful" in designing possible modifications to the Employer Health Tax. Ontario Transporation Minister Ed Philip also ex- pressed support for the concept in a separate let- ter, dated May =. 1991. Green Light For Soil Recycling Plant The Toronto Harbour Commission was given the green light recently to pro- ceed with its plans to build a $4.3 million soils recycl- ing demonstration project in the port industrial area. The go-ahead came after both the City of Torotno and Ontario's Ministry of the Environment gave their stamp of approval to the state-of-the-art facility to be built immediately east of Cherry St. on the Texaco refinery lands. "We feel we can be in operation by the end of August or early in September," said Dennis Lang, the Toronto Harbotr Commission's Director of Engineering and head of the soil cleaning project. It was late last Fall, following the completion of a $60,000 study funded by the Commission, that it was discovered technology exists today to clean the type of soil and con- taminants that are present in the 1,200 acre Port In- dustrial District. The study also showed that soil remediation can be done in an environmen- tally safe and controlled manner and, soil and ground water cleaning can be performed at a cosi per tonne that will be less than the option of removing this soil to a licensed landfill site. "We estimate there are as much as two million ton- nes oo-nes of cordanimated soil that require treatment before they can be reused on industrial land," said Mr. Lang. "The demonstration plant will bring together for the fust time three leading interna- tional technologies to clean the soils of organic and in- organic contaminants. " The technologies involv- ed are three -fold, the first being soil washing. Two soil washing methods will be tested: firstly [sing high pressure water jets to blast contaminants off the larger soil particles. and second- ly, a scrubbing action using chemicals to break the bonds holding the con- taminants to the larger particles of soil. Each of these two methods is expected to clean 80 percent of the soil. The remaining 20 percent will require further treat- ment. The THC proposes to test the effectiveness of both soil washing methods. "To test the high pressure wash process, we will send up to 1,500 tonnes of contaminated soil to an 1= M.'' $ T BE WATER SMART. WXM ON" HAAT WffM T Lft JACKETS. Irl A7 " I ill SAV Ih(, uxI*"En MV CANADA existing facility in Weert, Holland," said Mr. Lang. "All of the cleaned soil and slurry requiring fur- ther treatment will be returned to our demonstra- tion plant. To test the soil scrubbing wash process, we will lease a wash facili- ty from the United States which will wash up to 50 tonnes per day to clean up to 3,000 tonnes on site," he stated. The facility, Mr. Lang added, will be fully in- tegrated with the two subsequent soil cleaning technologies proposed. The second phase in the demonstration plant is that involving heavy metals ex- traction. This phase will involve the Metanetix Process which entails mixing the contaminated slurry with a special chemical for several hours to weaken the bonds holding the metals to soil particles. The slurry is then put through a processor unit where it is mixed with chemical chelating agents which attract the metals, thus removing them from the slurry. When removed later from the chelating agents, the metals are relatively pure and suitable for recycling. The third and final stage of the project is the biological slurry reactor. In a totally enclosed pro- cess developed by SNC Inc. where waste streams are environmentally controlled and managed, the soil is subjected to a series of reactors, or tanks, for the removal of organic con- taminants. First ensuring biodegradability through mixing with chemicals, the subsequent reactors use natural bacteria to break down the organics. "All environmental precautions will be put in place and access will be controlled," said Mr. Lang, adding an information kiosk outlining the demonstration plant will be placed adjacent to the con- trol gate which will provide an outline of the process to passersby. "If the Industrial District is to grow, then soil remediation is a midst," said Commission Chair- man Frank R. Smith. "We know this can be done in an environmentally accep- table manner and at a reasonable cost. Our demonstration will prove this to be so."

Looking at the achievements of those ear- ly Scottish settlers, and the distinctive beauty of the Island they settled, one of their descendants offered a far different and more ac- curate view. According to Lucy Maud Montgomery, creator of the immortal "Anne of Green Gables", the place was "invested with a kind of fairy grace and charm." Prince Edward Island - or "the Island" as it is simply and affectionately known - is all this and more. Located off Canada's east coast, it an- nually attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors from around the world. They are drawn by an enviable lifestyle, a panorama of family farms and fishing villages. miles of smooth sandy beaches and a natural beauty unrivaled anywhere, making it 'one of the world's great Islands'. It was to this Island, beginning more than 200 years ago, in 1770, that thousands of Highland and Lowland Scots settled, making them one of the Island's largest ethnic groups. They became in- volved in all walks of life, and made a distinctive con- tribution to the Island's multicultural diversity and flavor. During 1991, Islanders are formally celebrating their strong Scottish connection with "The Road to the Isle" pro- motion. Lucy Maud Montgomery is one of the best-known descendants of those early Scottish settlers. Author of the internationally known and loved "Anne of Green Gables", Montgomery was very much a part of the people and the places around her. The setting for ler acclaimed works was in the heart of an Island Scottish community, and her imagination was fueled by its events and characters. Green Gables, the Island farmhouse made famous in her writing, and now the jewel of Prince Edward Island's National Park, was the home of Mon- tgomery's cousins, the Macneills, and it was one of her favourite places. Many early Scottish set- tlers lived along the Island's north shore; they, and their closely knit families and communities, became the inspiration for many of Montgomery's writings. 'I come of Scotch ancestry," wrote Mon- NOVA TRAVEL LTD. Ont.lic.3158TY6 "Complete Travel Service" to all destinations Datliotth Rd.b Midland Av. 265-M2 tgomery in her autobiography. "There were many traditions and tales on both sides of the family, to which, as a child, I listened with delight while my elders talked them over around winter firesides. The romance of them was in my blood." In fact, the Montgomerys settled in Prince Edward Island quite by accident. Hugh Montgomery and his wife, Mary MaeShannon, Lucy Maud's great -great- grandparents, were part of a group of Scottish im- migrants bound for Canada. During the long voyage across the Atlantic, Mary became seasick, and when their ship stopped along the north shore of Prince Edward Island to replenish its water supply, she was allowed to go ashore. With dry land under her feet, and despite the pleas and efforts of her husband, she refused to go back on board to complete the voyage. So the Mon- tgomerys disembarked and settled on Prince Edward Island. Growing up in the distinctively Scottish com- mumity of Cavendish deep- ly influenced Montgomery's writing. She was inspired by the values of her Scottish ancestors, and many of her stories and characters were based on those people, their tales and traditions. Added to that influence was the sheer delight which Montgomery drew from the natural world around her. "Compassed by the in- violate sea." she wrote of Prince Edward Island, "it floats on the waves of the blue gulf, a green seclusion and haunt of ancient peace .. Montgomery wrote about the people and places around her. "It was from my mother's family - the Macneills - that I inherited my knack of writing and my literary tastes," recall- ed Montgomery. Several of her cousins, including Hec- tor Macneill, a Scottish poet of some renown. were prolific writers and raconteurs, and she described her great-uncle James, who farmed on Prince Edward Island, as "a born poet, Growing up, she was im- mersed in literature, in- cluding the works of Scott and Burns. "Its music was woven into my growing soul," she wrote of those literary influences, "and has echoed through it, con- sciously and subconscious- ly, ever sine." Following her marriage (to Rev. Ewan Macdonald, also of Scottish ancestry), Montgomery realized a "dream come true" by visiting Scotland, "the old land of my forefathers," during her honeymoon. Some Scottish scenes, while she acknowledged as Canadian Travel Costs Up 13.3% The cost for a family of four vacationing in Canada by car this summer has gone up by 13.3 percent over last year the Canadian Automobile Association (CAA) reports. The in- crease, which is about dou- ble the current rate of infla- tion, is only partly at- tributable to the implemen- tation of the GST. The CAA recommends that families budget an average of $244.00 a day - $200.82 for food and lodging plus $43.00 for every 500 km of driving. Families should also make provision for out-of-pocket expenses which include any enter- tainment or recreational activities. A CAA member- ship will frequently provide substantial discounts for these types of activities at many facilities. Average lodging and meal expenses are based on rates and prices for more than 2, 200 CAA ' AAA inspected and approved lodgings and restaurants in CAA AAA Tourbooks and include the federal Goods and Services Tax. Lodging rates used by CAA include $5 daily charge per child although some establishments do not charge for children. Dining expenses represent three meals per day and include a variety of restaurant types. The CAA says a family of two adults and two children can expect to spend $93.61 a day for lodging and $17.21 a day for meals. There are significant regional dif- ferences in lodging and food costs. The province of Quebec has the highest average lodging and meal rates at $107.66 and $128.26 respec- tively. Saskatchewan has the lowest average lodging rate at $64.27 and the wince: places with names like Argyle Shore, Caledonia, Glengarry, Gowen Brae, Inverness, New Glasgow and Uigg. And generations of Islanders, while firmly and proudly rooted in their Scottish ancestry, have created their own distme- tive identity and forms of expression. During 1991, Prince Ed- ward Island is celebrating its Scottish connection. Throughout the year, hi m- dreds of colourful and long- established traditions will be highlighted in what is being called "The Road to the Isle" celebration, a celebration that recognizes and reflects the Island's Scottish traditions and heritage. Plan to take "The Road to the Isle"; the Mon- tgomerys and the rest of the clans are there to ex- tend a warm welcome.

Times really are changing. One of the most startling signs of our changing times is the turnaround of Canada Post, which is being referred to in industry circles as a "miracle". The man who worked the miracle is Donald Lander, a former long-time resident of this area, who has been presi- dent of the crown corporation since the mid -1960's, when the present government appointed him. When the government came to power in 1984, one of our objectives was to make crown corporations efficient and responsible, by either selling them off, or running them with more respect for the taxpayer who pays the bills. The inefficient postal service was costing us more, and deliver- ing less. We thought it was time for a change. Donald Lander has run Canada Post not like a public - money pit, but like a business. He has been very successful so far, getting more mail delivered, and on tighter schedules. The most recent statistics show that 97% of regular mail now arrives on time. And Priority Courier does even better, at 99.2% on time delivery. Compare that to the old horror stories of letters taking two months to cross the city' And that's with more mail to deliver than ever before! The number of items deli -erect by mail went up six percent over the last year, despite the fact that Canada Post now faces tough competition from new electronic technologies like fax and E -Mail transmission. Yes, times are changing, and this year they clanged to the tune of 5.7 million dollars. That's how much Canada Post made this year, in its third year out of the red. By being efficient and competitive, Canada Post has stop- ped topped being a drain on public finances, and even pays us back some of the money we invest through our taxes. And best of all, it does what a postal service is meant to do: get the mail there. Fast.
