August 21, 1991 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Wrong Legislation by Bob Watson The NDP provincial government is considering changes to our labour laws which will radically affect our working society and drive even more companies to move from On- tario. The changes being considered include unionization of those who perform managerial functions, potential inclu- sion of security guards in bargaining units along with the main group of employees at the same location, restrictions on an employer's right of free speech during a union - organizing campaign and union access to private, personal information regarding an employer's employees, even before they are certified to represent those employees. In addition the new laws would alter private property rights and trespass laws to give union organizers greater access to employers' premises, amend the current duty in bargaining in good faith to include a duty to "justify" the "reasonableness" of a position taken during collective bargaining negotiations and severely restrict an employer's ability to operate in the face of a strike, even through employees are allowed to work elsewhere druing a strike. The proposed laws would require employers to retain at work employees who are fined for just cause, pending ar bitration of any grievance - presumably even when the employee is clearly guilty of a serious infraction. These proposed changes are obviously geared to give unions much greater control over a company's functioning. If these changes are passed by the legislature Ontario's in- dustrial and commercial leaders better organize a very strong fight against the Rae government's proposed changes. French Promotion May we introduce you to Victor Goldbloom. our newly ap- pointed Commissioner of the Official Languages of Canada, or should we say - the Commissioner for the promotion of the FYench language and Culture in Canada, especially Quebec' This is what is happening. Don't let the name fool YOU - Victor Goldblocm's credentials are old of Quebec: he is a Montrealer; he was a cabinet minister in Bourassa's government from 1970 to 1976 during which time he sup- ported upported Bill 22, 4 Official French Only for Quebec?. Premier Bourassa supported him as a candidate for this present position (Montreal Gazette, June 22, 1991) . Botrassa does not support two official languages in his own province but would encourage it in the rest of Canada. This year he was awarded the "Order of Quebec.., Our questions are as follows regarding Victor Goldbloom: Will he do anything about alleviating the medieval situa- tion of the oppression of the English language in Quebec' Not likely! Our politicians sit idly by and tolerate the outrageous violation of human rights in Quebec through Bills 101 and 178. Francophones in Quebec should rebel against this injustice with their own future progress in mind. Secondly, can we allow one person in Canada to be above the law? Bill C-72. The Offical Language Act of Canada, allows him this right. He cannot be charged in respect to his administrative duties as Commissioner. This Act most be delegislated and his office made redundant ! Thirdly, will he show some good intentions by reducing the Francophones in his office from over 70% to the elligible 25%, (Gov't Stats)? The truth is that Francophones are hired for key positions and are vastly over -represented in key ministries in the whole federal government and agen- cies. Fourth question is why don't we lobby for the promotion of English literacy? Young parents are becoming aware of the emotional trauma being experienced by their young children who are thrust into early French immersion ( a foreign tongue) during their formative years. Young parents are indoctrinated by French language and culture promoters who are highly paid and trained to be a strong lobby group across Canada at the taxpayer's and children's expense. They do not mention that the French language vocabulary is only one third of the English. What a han- dicap when students find out! Last question. Do we need Victor Goldbloom, another Quebecer, to interpret the needs of the rest of Canada, especially, when he exhibits such strong Francophone 5i�.J50f] news Published every Wednesday by Watson Publishing Company Limited, Est. 1950 Postal Address: Box 111, A;I:uourt, Ont.

After three months of living with the GST, it's clear that, contrary to the govern- ment's every prediction, Cana- dians are not coping well with the new tax. Or perhaps more to the point, the Canadian economy is not coping well. A recent national poll, for example, conducted by the Canadian Federation of Independent Business, is the latest sign that our beleaguered economy has had enough. The poll results showed that very nearly half of all Canadian households -45 per cent—have cut back on spending since the introduction of the GST on the first of this year. !Meanwhile, Statistics Canada recently reported that retail sales in January plummeted by 4.1 per cent compared with a year ago, the worst monthly decline since 1961. The agency's index of 10 key economic indix-Ators also fell by 1 per cent in January, the twelfth straight monthly decline and by far the largest of this recession. In addition, the GST has also triggered a sharper - than -predicted jump in con- sumer prices. In January, Canada's annualized inflation rate, propelled by the GST, soared 1.8 percentage points to 6.8 per cent—wrtl above the 1.2s percentage points predicted by former Finance Minister !Michael Wilson. For once, it seems, just about everyonc (outside of government. that is) is in agree- ment: the GST has, and proba- bly will continue to dampen consumer demand and prolong the alread% weakened state of our economy. C IB's %ice president of research and chief economist, Catherine Swift, isn't surprised by the public's frigid response to the new tax. Referring to the recent surge in cross-border shopping, Swift argues that the revolt against the tax has worked its way across the border as literally hundreds of thousands of Canadians are now shopping in the U.S. instead of their own country. For 1991, Swift anticipates that last year's 53 million border crossings will increase by as much as 30 per cent to approx- imately 69 million. "It only stands to reason," she says, "that at least a portion of the respondents to this poll are driving across the border to shop. "It's not the Canadian way to yell and scream in the street, but people have reached the breaking point. Consumers are using cross-border shopping as their tax revolt—and more and more they're using their cars to prove it." Canada's mailers, she adds, are competing on an uneven Playing field. Already suffering from a crippling tax burden which in many cases is as much as 40 per cent higher than their U.S. counterparts, border mailers were stung particularly hard by the GST. "Let's face it. It's unfair to blame consumers for trying to save some money. Every level of eo►trnment, however, must now face up to its responsibility to help curb the outflow of Canadian dollars from our economy. ,. CFI B is recommending that two good places to start would be with a lower Canadian dol- lar and a lower osrrall tax burden. "And the sooner," Swift says. "the better. The country as a w hole is desperately in need of a boost to help pull Canada's battered economy out of the basement." CF18 F"Itim So,.,ce Benefit Concert At Bamboo Club The Dream Warriors, a Toronto-based, interna- tionally famous rap group, will be giving a benefit con- cert at the Bamboo Club, 312 Queen St. W. on Aug. 27th. tt This special concert will help raise money for the YMCA Literacy Program. Tickets for the Aug. 27th Dream Warriors Concert can be obtained at the door or through Ticketmaster credentials? We say. "No". Mr. Goldbloom may have the qualifications but he does not have acceptable credentials. He is too hand-picked by the promoters of forced FYench in our Canada. The pillars of our present society will crumble unless everyone takes an active interest in correcting our pro- blems. For free confirming facts on the above write to me at the address below.

What are you going to do with the leftover paint and thinner? With those warning symbols on the labels, you don't want to put them out in the garbage. Oil-based paints and finishes are flammable and have been known to cause fires. And if they end up in an unsecured landfill, they might leak out and contaminate the groundwater. Flush them down the drain? Not a good idea either as they contain toxic solvents and pigments which could eventually end up in your drink- ing water. Paints and thinners are just two of the many household products containing solvents made from petroleum. Some products, such as paint thinner, nail polish remover, and dry cleaning fluid, are almost 100 per cent solvent, while others - certain paints, polishes, glues and adhesives - have a high solvent content. Solvents can be extremely hazardous. Most burn and some are highly flammable. They evaporate easily, giving off toxic fumes in the process. Some of them can be absorb- ed through the skin and may increase the risk of developing cancer with repeated exposure. All these characteristics make it important to dispose of used or surplus solvents carefully. Used thinner should be left in a well -sealed jar until the particles settle. Then pour off the liquid and use it again - or give it to someone else who can use it. The particles left in the jar should be labelled and stored safely in a cool, dry area, along with any unusable paint, until you can take them to a household hazardous waste depot. Some paints and other materials collected at depots are recycled; the nest are shipped to special facilities for safe treatment and disposal. In the last year, more than 60 mrnrricipalities in Ontario have applied to the provincial environment mtrnstry for funding to set up household hazardous waste depots. If your community hasn't held a collection event in the pest year, maybe it's time it did. For information on how to safely get rid of hazardous wastes, call your local worts department or yotr regional Ministry of the Eirvironinent office. For information on environmentally safe alternatives for hazardous products, call Pohlubon Probe AM) 926.1907, the Recycling Council of Ontario (416) 960-1025, or the Ontario Waste Management Corporation (416) 9M-2918. Here and There On Saving Tax Dollars The State of Maine came up with an interesting solution When its cash-strapped government told state employees to stay home for the first of two one -day shutdowns. The shutdowns affect prison guards, state police - altogether 13,500 civil workers. Each day of closing will save $1 million in government money. From Ontario Hydro Financial incentives for occupancy sensors Hydro has expanded the Energy Efficient lighting Pro- gram tegram by uArodtIcintg incentives for occupancy sensor fighting control systems. The incentives are $35rurrit for wall switch sensors, and $100. unit for wall or ceiling mounted sensor systems. Occupancy sensors save energy and electricity costs by automatically turning off lights when no motion is detec- table in a room. tAgbt rental pilot project in Guelph Hydro has introduced a unique residential lighting pilot project in Guelph that offers customers the opportunity to rent energy efficient compact fluorescent bulbs. These bulbs use 70 percent less energy and last up to 10 times longer than regular incandescent bulbs. Rental rates are $0.35 per bulb per month, or three for a dollar up to a maximum of six bulbs, Just three weeks after the April 4 launch over 3,500 bulbs were rented. The pilot program will be evaluated at its con- clusion to determine whether it will be expanded to other areas of the province. Energy Summary Electricity consumption in April was just over lo.s million megawatt -hours, down almost five percent from April 1990. The 20 minute peak in April, 1991 was 18,626 megawatts, down 3.6 percent from the same month last year. Consumption to the end of April this year was almost 48 million megawatt -hours, a drop of almost three percent from the same period in 1990. Democracy is only as good as the individual citizen.

Year Celebrating 75 years of college education in Scar- borough and East York, Centennial College's new anru�al part-time studies calendar is now available. Centennial, Ontario's first college, opened its doors on Oct. 17, 1966 at its Warden Woods Campus on Warden Ave., north of Dan- forth Rd. The commemorative blue and silver part-time studies calendar heralds a new look. For the fust time since 1972, the book - a fix- ture in many Scarborough and East York hoaxes - is no longer titled "Night Out". "The change is in response to the growing number of people who are looking for part-time courses during the day. They're people with jobs or family commitments in the evening," says Terry 1bacGorman, director of marketing and com- munications at Centennial. The calendar lists about l,000 courses, everything from sailing to desktop publishing to natural gas vehicle conversion. For those overwhelmed by the choice, Centennial will host "info nights" - special 12► and Friday, 9 a.m. to 2 orientation sessions design- p.m. ed to match personal in- terests and goals with the right course. The first sessiaas will take place on Tues. Aug. 20 from 6 to 8 p.m. at Warden , Woods and Progress cam- puses. As a bonus. visitors can take part in free seminars in cosmetics and wardrobe planning at the Warden Woods campus that evening. Call 694-3241, ext. 3274 to reserve a seat Wed.

Wed. August 21, 19"1 THE NEWS/POST Page 5 Scarborouqh Council After More Develooment Charnes by BrendaBirinyi Scarborough Council this week took a step closer in adopting a new by-law that will force developers to pay additional development charges. The provincial govern- ment has given new authority to municipalities to enact a by-law allowing council to determine in- creases in development charges. The development charges are determined and imposed by individual municipalities to the developers. The money collected by the municipality from the developer, goes towards supporting infrastructure that impacts that municipality such as, roads and schools. Several delegations from the development sector that had developments pen- ding in the city, appeared before council to voice their displeasure with the possibility of being charged additional levies in the future, over and above what they have previously OPS-' Leo Longo, a develop - Quart lawyer, urged council members not to enforce the Nov. 23rd dead line. "You can still pas the act after Nov. 23," stated Longo. "The only thing you cannot do is collect the additional char�ges from be continued. However, according to Scarborough staff, those additional development charges can add up substantially. Councillors were quick to note that Toronto and North York have already passed the in- crease development charges in their cities and are collecting that addi- tional revenue from the developer. If council was not doing this, the additional charges would be passed on to the taxpayer in the form of in- creased taxes. Chairman of � Budget Committee, earlier in the year, Nvught farward the motion to Scarborough Council. The issue of developers becoming more responsible to municipalities, where they build, has been an on-going plight of taxpayers. Many feel developers leave municipalities after they complete their con- struction, leaving the addi- tiiaral financial burden to that town or city. In an interview Mahood stated that taxpayers are not responsible for funding "If you charge up front to the developers, then the burden is shifted from the taxpayveloper who then becometo the s respon- sible for the oasts as they impact that municipality. Toronto has elected developers to pay for dev % n er a in tht city, and their taxes reflect What's All The Fuss? Kids Are Hanging In by 7bm Natchen Amid all the fuss about semors becoming the dominant segment of the Canadian population, what's happening to the kids? The shat answer is they seem to be holding their own despite declining birthrates, more and more families where both parents work and growing numbers of hoe -parent households. some with difficulty making financial ends meet. There were about 5.6 milllion children under age 15 in Canada in 1990 and they made up 21% of the population, Statistics Canada figrares show. This was down from 6.4 million and 30% of the population back in 1971. But the numbers have stabilized and for each year from now through 2001 it is expected the population up to age 14 will number about 5.5 million and make up about 19% of the population total. In terms of general health, things have never been better for Canadian children. From both to one year, infants face the greatest risk of death There were some 1.430 deaths for every 100,000 infants up to age one in 1988. But that was down from more than 2,100 deaths per 100.000 infants as recently as 1981. For ages 1 to 14, death rates were less that 50 per 100,000 in 1988, also down from the levels in the early 1980x. In world terms, Canadian rates are among the lowest. African countries such as Mozambique. Angola and Sierra Leone, recently ravaged by drought and disease, had infant death rates which topped 15,000 per 100,000 population in 1988. More and more children are growing up in single -parent households. Single parents raised 13% of all children in 1986, up from 9% a decade earlier. Husband -wife families had 85% of all children in 1986 and the other 2% were with relatives other than parents or with non -relatives. Divorce has been a major factor in rrwdifying family structure. In 1988, custody allocations concerning 50,200 children were made by authorities after parents had divorced. The majority of parents had jobs away from home. For 69% of those children in a lone -parent household in 1988, the family bead worked. For 64% of the children in a husband - wife household in 1988, both parents worked Statistics Canada defines as low income the point where a family can expect that 58.5% of total income must be spent on the basics of food, shelter and clothing. Some 15% of all children were in such families in 1988, about the same as in 1961. The figure had peaked at about 20% during the economic recession of the early 198%. Families with a lone female parent as head form by far the largest segment in this low-income group - 58% in 1988. Families headed by a lone male made up 32% and husband - wife families 10%. But other figures point up the relative prosperity enjoyed by most children. In 1989, there was a colour television set in the household for 98% of all children; 76% of all children had a videocassette recorder; 70% had a cable tv hookup; microwave ovens were a fixture in the homes of 75%. in 1988, a full 20% of the children had a computer available in the home. , - .IS'.- _ .... .

August 21. 1991 Bill Watt's Worlds HOT STUFF: Of recent years virtually nothing has been heard from or about Chuck Mangione and his exciting kind of jazz; jazz that can quite properly be described by the old adjective "hot" rather than the more or less current descriptive, 1.CM1„ Mangione's music makes one want to move, to shake, to move and be moved. We are pleased to say that we have discovered another band with all those same qualities. It's called Synthetic Earth - where do these titles come from? - and we beard it recently at the Bermuda Onion at a celebration launch of its self -titled debut album on the jazz inspiration label. There are five members in the group under the leadership of trumpeter Tony Carlucci. The other four are his brother Lou on quitar. Steve Lucas on bass guitar. Marco Luciano on keyboards (including thankfully, piano) and Steve Heathcote on percus- sion. Each is an accomplished player, arranger and com- poser. Each could probably front his own band. Collec- tively, however, and behind the driving trumpet and flugelhorn of Tony Carlucci, they create a soud that's equal to anything by the Mangione band at its excellent best. Describing music and its presentation continues to be a problem for this writer and our apologies are of- fered if we fail to describe properly or even adequate- ly the impact of Synthetic Earth in a live perfor- mance. May it suffice that it surrounds with power counterpointed and embellished by sound in- tr umentalism. If a single descriptive is needed then let it be Hot As yet, we haven't heard the album but have no reason to think that its im- pact will be any less than that of a live performance. If there is a single criticism of the band in live concert it is a minor one. It isn't necessary for the leader to perform reaction takes when he himself is not playing. For one thing, it's distracting; for another, it appears almost apologetic. Tony Carlucci has nothing to apologize for. He is quite simply one of the best trumpeters (the equal, we believe, of Guido Basso) and flugelhornists (ditto for Chuck Mangione) one is likely to encounter. Synthetic Earth deserves to make it all the way and we see and hear no reason why it shouldn't. ON STAGE: The play "Sleuth- by An- thony Shaffer was original- ly presented in 1970 - 21 years ago - in London and is still going strong around the world. Why not'. This send up of Agatha Christie type country house thrillers is well crafted and has all the critical elements necessary for broad acceptance. It's fun- ny in parts, it's exciting and yet it's more than just a thriller. R contains some gernrine psychological in- sights. We remember the motion picture version with pleasure in which Michael Caine. extended by Sir Laurence Olivier, gave arguably his best perfor- mance. Sleuth, the stage play returns to Toronto on Sept. 3rd for presentation at the Bayview Playhouse. The stars will be Gareth Hunt and Robert Russell. The former will be recalled as Mike Gambit in The New Avengers and Frederick the footman in Upstairs, Downstairs.

FM*Borough of East York PARKS & RECREATION A-mazing Maze Held Over Shakespeare wrote about a maze in his play "The Tempest". The poet Milton wrote of finding "no end, in wand'ring mazes lost" in his epic "Paradise Lost". For well over 3000 years people have used labyrin- thine patterns as maps for escaping evil spirits. In ancient Greece, Daedalus is said to have built the Labyrinth in Crete to contain the half -man, half -beast Minotaur. In pre -Christian Europe, mazes were used in sacred rites of passage and, even into Christian times. mazes were used in ritual dances. What's this fascination with mazes? Ask the more than 80,000 people who've wended their way through the giant might be correct. For most t true movie buffs, however, the last and arguably Before greatest was Montreal born Norma Shearer. Shearer by Gavin Lambert ( Alfred A. Knopf) is her story. It's kind to the living - possibly through fear of libel - such as Mar- tin Arroug6. her playboy th second husband; Janet between Leigh, her proteg# and Mickey Rooney, one of her d many lovers ( Mickey TheRooney? ! ). It's less kind to those who are no longer with us: Victor Fleming, are her first lover; Howard Hawks. the husband of her the demented sister; her arch Hollywood rival Joan Crawford and even, the subject herself r who was ambitious to the they point of ruthlessness. Though intended as her biography, the book also spends much time on the story of her first husband, Irving'Ihalberg, the genius who put his own inimitable stamp on the earlier M.G.M. productions. Thalberg was the right hand man of Louis B. Mayer and it is through Mayer that we see the close relationship between Hollywood and politics. As early as the fust World War, Washington had recognized the value of star power in promoting the perceived needs of the nation. In order to obtain it, federal governments would and still do extend favours to the film industry far beyond those extended to ordinary party hacks; such favours as easy foreign travel arrangements, over riding of union quotas and provision of the military for participation in motion pictures. This is all dealt with in the book and its all very in- teresting but movie fans and particularly those who remember Nora Shearer will find more pleasure reading about the famous people in her life. She once shared a magazine cover in her modelling days with another young model nam- ed Fred Bickel. He became Frederic March. Frequent dinner guests of the Thalbergs were Mr. and Mrs. Robert Mon- tgomery. Favourite dance part- ners in her early widowhood were David Niven and Douglas Fair- banks Jr., by then estrang- ed from her rival, Joan maze at the Ontariom Science Centre this su- mer. Mazes are fun and the maze craze is spreading. For example, this year is being billed as "line year of the Maze" in Britain with 14 new mazes opening to join such famous ones as the oldest hedge maze at Hampton Court and the world's largest maze at Longleat House in Wiltshire. The maze at Ontario Science Centre has proved so popular that it has been extended until Sept. 3, with the exception of Aug. 23 through Aug. 27 when all the lost people still trapped in its winding paths will be shown the way out. A newly configured maze will open at 10 a.m. on Aug. 27. Crawford. The great love of her live before Martin Arrougd was George (Oban heels) Raft but there were many other lovers - Irving 'Lhalberg had not, evidently been dynamite in the sack - in- cluding as mentioned earlier, Mickey Rooney. Good things in small packages maybe' Inciden- tally, the writer didn't do his homework well here. The Mick's mother was Mrs. Yule, not Airs. Rooney. She met Martin Arr t**, a ski instructor, at Sun Valley, a resort being developed by Averill Har- riman who was later to become President Harry Truman's personal choice to succeed him in office. All in all, a most in- teresting book for everyone and an informative one for those who choose to linger over the politics. They're not really intended to be a major part of the book but they are. Who was the last of the Hollywood moguls? Without doubt it was Samuel Goldwyn and his biography by A- Scott Berg ( Ballantine) is important reading for all film historians. He was born Schmuel Gelbfisz in Warsaw pro- bably in July 1879. Sicken- ed by the poverty that sur- rounded him, he walked out of the country - literally walked - and found his way to Britain. From there he crossed the Atlantic and made his way to Gloversville, New York where he became a glove maker. That was where he developed his strong forearms by cutting hides. He became the top glove salesman for the company. From that he went on to in- vest in the infant motion picture industry and the rest, as the clich6 says, is history. He was the last of the independent producers and it was he, more than anyone else who was responsible for the federal act legislating that motion picture studios could no longer own theatres and force the presentation of their own product ex- clusively. Goldwyn's motion pic- tures were epitomized by meticulous attention to style and quality. Politics? Well, we're starting to run out of space and must be brief but Then you can get lost agin... and found... in the 2.5 m high, 214 square metre amazing maze. You can lose your way in its blind alleys and see if you've got the skills to master the twisting and winding pathways. There's only one way out of the maze, and that's the challgenge awaiting Science Centre visitors.

How is it sup- posed that hewas to of the stranglehold the studios over the theatres? Also, those who read in the past week of the death of James Roosevelt, the eldest son of President F.D.R. will be interested to know that he was vice- president of Goldwyn's comPany. The Power and the Glit- ter by Ronald Brownstein ( Pantheon) is sub -titled The Hollywood-Washringtoo Connection and that just about sums it up. There isn't really much more in it than what one can read in Norma Shearer and Goldwyn. There is, however, a well written expository on why so many of the early movie stars felt compelled to take active roles in politics. It wasn't just for the prestige but rather as an unguessed palliative over the vast financial rewards for what many of them thought of as the less than serious endeavours of their profes- sions. They felt overpaid for their efforts and wanted to use their wealth and position to help others. It was, in its way, quite admirable. Not so admirable perhaps is the author's fast and loose way with technical fact. In a brief sketch of Louis B. Mayer for example, he writes that he "grew up in the small Canadian town of St. John, New Brunswick." Even when Mayer lived there, it was not a small town. And, it was never St. John; it has always been Saint John. Quoting another biographer he states that Mr. Mayer was "sent...across Canada to bid at auctions on salvage." The only journeyings be did were south from New Brunswick into the New England states. Even if that were not known for fact, it doesn't take much thought, for a Canadian at least, to see the fallacy of such a state- ment. Where would there have been an economic ad- vantage in travelling cross country seeking salvage for a pont city, or, as Mr. Brownstein would have it, a "small Canadian town"? Twit! Wed.

About Cocaine Use Women who occasionally use cocaine will not harm their newbom if they stop using the drug in the early stages of their ply, a University of Toronto study has shown. Nmety pregnant women in their early -to -mid twen- ties participated in the study supervised by Dr. Gi- deon Koren of the U of T departments pediatrics Thirty of the women were social users of co- caine until they learned of their pregnancy, 30 had us- ed marijuana, and 30 hadn't used recreational drugs. At one and a half years of age, their children's unitive ability was tested. No significant differences were found bet- ween the three groups in any aspect of the toddlers' mental development. "Many women who use cocaine as part of their lifestyle but are not necessarily addicts want to know the risk to their babies. While it's not recommended that cocaine be used any time during pregnancy, with these results it Seems fail' to assume that if they stop us- ing it in the first couple month of their term, their children will likely be unaf- fected by the drug," said Koren.

Despite only two rainstorms on Saturday afternoon and evening, which would teed to slow the cars down anyway, most of the delays were for repairs to the guard-rails and tire -barriers, caused by crashing cars. After the 1 p.m. finish on Sunday, and a total of 746 laps (1834 miles) around Mosport's ten -turn road course, it was the Dieline I Lobdell-Emery Corvette taking the grand prize. Originally schedriled to be driven by Canadians Peter Lockhart, Kenny Wil ien and Doug Beatty, an unfortunate accident happened to Lockhart on the evening before race day. He was driving a go- kart for the fun of it, hit another kart and flipped, breaking his shoulder. The John Powell Cor- vette team recruited Paul Cunningham and champion drivers Richard Spenard and Californian R. K. Smith to share the racing chores with Wikien and David Emprinlgham, and this immensely talented team brought Powe ll's No. 2 machine first into victory circle. Second overall was the Bakeracing Protein Food Group Corvette of Toronto's Kat Teasdale, and U.S. drivers Bill Cooper, Boris Said ill and Jim Minnaker, six laps behind the winners. In fact, Corvettes dominated the World Challenge category of the race with those cars finishing in positions one through five. The Firestone Firehawk cars raced with the Escort Endurance cars for the first time, and tops in the Firehawk class was a Grand Sports Porsche 94452 driven by Raymond David and Ride Bye. Toronto's Craig Priddle had the pole in the Export "A" Inc. Formula 2000 Series race, but was out - dragged at the start by the Reynard of Stephan Pro- ulx. The other half of the Ex- port "A" Inc. "factory - team", St. Hilaire, PQ's Jeff Girard, had to start beck in 10th place because of a technical infraction in qualifying Proulx led Priddle until the 12th lap, when the tat- ter's throttle stuck open entering turn eight, forcing him to pit. Meanwhile, Girard came up through the field with a masterful drive to pass Proulx with two laps retraining. A full cause yellow saw the race end under caution, and it was Girard first.

It worked out that way for eventual winner Jacek Mucha of Laval, PQ but se- cond place finisher, and class winner on a F1200 Lynx was Toronto's Paulo Dal Cin. In fact, Dal Cin was only behind the larger engined overall winning car by less than 4.5 seconds after the 15 lap event. Jay mason of Niagara Falls led the race on lap six on his No. 89 TT3-F0l F1200 when the F1600 Swift of Don Vallance broke an engine bearing, but was then passed by Mucha. After the rce, Dal Cin said, "Jay gave me a really strong run for my money. My car's cowling was com- ing off, and I was a little worried." And Mason related, "Corner 9 (on lap seven) was the turning point. The No. 17 car (of Much) got by us and we just couldn't catch him." Mason funfished third, and grabbing fourth place honours in that battle was Brooklin, Ont.'s Scott Primo. The final race of the weekend featured the Budweiser Racing CASCAR Super Series modified sedans. In that one Don thompson Jr. of Hamilton held on for the win on his Chevrolet Lumina, finishing just ahead of the Buick Regal of Newmarket's Kerry Micks. In fact, Micks had started well back in the pack in a restart after a fust lap, first turn crash by the No. 15 Ford Thunder- bird of Jim Patrick, but held on for second place. Micks night have had first place if a back -marker hadn't crossed him up at the end of the last lap. Finishing third was Port Franks, Ontario's Bill Rowse, Jr. driving a T -Bird.

Terry Fox was determined to give all types of cancer research a chance to prove its worth, no matter how unusual or unique. He wanted any money raised in his name to be earmarked for in- novative research and his wish has always been honoured by the National Cancer Institute of Canada. A recipient of a 1990-93 Team Development Grant, Dr. Victor Ling, Head of the Division of Molecular and Structural Biology at the Ontario Cancer In- stitute; Princess Margaret Hospital, will head Canada's first structural biology research group focused on cancer research. The Terry Fox Grant, worth 5775,000 over three years, funds the recruit- ment of four new scientists, pays their salaries for three years and covers the start-up costs of their laboratories. The four new scientists will join four ex- isting senior scientists, in- cluding Dr. Ling, who are currently working in related fields. The Team will focus on Hockey Trainers Clinics The Scarborough Recreation, Parks and Culture Dept. in conjunc- tion with the Scar -borough Hockey Association is plan- ning hockey trainers tdima. Purpose of the clinics is to offer the amateur hockey trainer or coach a simple but comprehensive approach in responding to hockey related injuries.

He discovered and described a protein that pumps a wide range of anti-cancer drugs out of a malignant cell before the drugs have a chance to act. This molecular pump prevents many patients from responding to chemotherapy. By in- vestigating the physical nature of these molecules or protein pumps, the team hopes to provide clues about how these proteins work and how they could be blocked and manipulated. Dr. Ling's findings have led to important testing around the world. Now, decoy drugs are being used to clog the molecular pumnps, allowing anti- cancer drugs to slip in and kill the malignant cell. "There is a strong convic- tion in the scientific com- munity that the next breakthroughs in cancer biology will be as a result of increasing our knowledge A of the 3D structure of these proteins," says Dr. Ling. Dr. Ling has been award- ed the coveted General Motors Kettering Award for his progressive work in cancer research and has been named as this year's winner of the Joseph Steiner Award from their Cancer Foundation in Switzerland. These two premiere cancer research awards are second only to the Nobel Prize for Medicine. Beeda McClew, National Director of The Terry Fox Run remarked, "Our association with Dr. Ling makes us very proud. It's wonderful that his research efforts have been recogniz- ed internationally by his pcers " Dr. Peter Scholefield, Executive Director of the National Cancer Institute of Canada has said: "Dr. Ling's effort and the Terry Fox Grant is an example of the co-operative approach that has enabled Canada to make significant contribu- tions to international cancer research."

Taylor Jr. Public School of Agincourt is now making an impact on the life of ,year old Karanarn, his family and community in far-off India - without ever leaving home. The people of A. S. Taylor Jr. Public have chosen to sponsor a child through a small monthly contribution to Foster Parents Plan of Canada. In so doing. they are helping to change the world - one child at a time. Foster Parent Plan is an international human development agency that links sponsors here in Canada with needy children in the developing countries of the world. The sponsor's contribution of $27 a month is used to help not only the child, but an entire family and com- munity as well. PLANs programs offer medical care, education. technical training, counselling, in- come generation, and much, much more. PLAN does not offer handouts. The families participate frilly in their own develop- ment - one half of a true partnership of hope, that ensures that projects will carry on, long after Foster -' Parents Plan is no longer needed. The contribution sent by a family's sponsor enables them to participate in whatever programs are applicable to their own development needs. In short, it enables a child and family to work their own way out of poverty. At the same time, the sponsor here in Canada is able to share in the family's accomplishments, J through regular letters and reports. Over the years, the people of A. S. Taylor Jr. Public School and Karanam will be able to gradually build an understanding, warm rela- tionship that crosses the boundaries of distance, poverty and nationality.

The report outlines that as a result of the deep concern expressed about the state of the environment, the small business community has responded by developing and implementing new environmentally sensitive practices. Entitled "The Green Grassroots: Small Business and the Environment", the report is based on the results of 2,300 small business survey responses from every region of the coun- try. Almost without exception, small firms expressed concern - 99 per cent -about the general state of the plana. According to Ted Mallett, senior economist for CFIB, while showing concern for environmental causes is signifi- cant, translating that concern into action is doubly important. "This survey shows that the positive attitudes of small busi- ness owners have taken root," Mallett says "We found that the development and implementa- tion of new environmentally sensitive technologies and oper- ating techniques have already been undertaken by most small firms. In fact 60 per cent of all small firms have made, or are about to make, significant changes to their businesses in an effort to respond to the environment." Mallett adds that the views of small business owners on their progress toward better environmental understanding are not to be underestimated as ways to identify the priorities for government involvement and planning the most ap- propriate paths of action. It is equally important. however, to consider the views of em- ployees in the environmental debate because they are often responsible for most of the day-to-day business decisions. For this reason Mallett points to a previous CFIB survey which examined job satisfaction and workplace structures. This survey found that high levels of trust and understanding between employees and employers are far more common in- small businesses than in larger ones. Employees of small firms tend to have higher morale and are more satisfied with the open- ness of management compared to those in larger organizations where contact between upper management and employees can be limited. It's no surprise then to find from the survey that workers in small businesses are more satisfied with their employers' treatment of the en- vironment compared to work- ers in large firms. "Workers in small opera- tions have a much easier time bringing environmental con- cerns to the attention of busi- ness owners and, therefore, a greater ability to affect change," Mallett said. While nearly everyone is in agreement that ongoing changes on the environment front are necessary, there are still many fingering questions as to how we can best go about protecting this precious resource for future generations But just what steps should be taken, and how, are the real questions. In the next installment, we'll examine what responsible and realistic alterna- tives are available to all players in order to achieve this end. cf18 reelwe sernae .ala} .. (r.... ..

For the most part the island is sur- rounded by a band of tur- quoise waters but the inter- ruptions are dramatic dark areas such as The Wall. Here the Caribbean plunges to impressive dep- ths and you can penetrate the underworld in high-tech submarines and enjoy vistas not otherwise available. There is, of course, more to the Cayman Islands than just diving and more Cana- dians are discovering these Caribbean jewels each year. There are three islands in the group. Grand Cayman is the largest and most populated, followed by Cayman Brae with limited tourism and little Cayman for those who real- ly want to be alone. The group is located some 400 miles south of the tip of Florida with Jamaica almost 150 miles to the east. Grand Cayman is not cheap. The accommoda- tions offered are in the mid- dle to upper scale and the shops in George Town offer black coral jewelry, gold dubloo>s, designer clothes and duty free prices on per- fumes, watches and diamonds. The Caymanians themselves enjoy a lifestyle uncommon in most of the Caribbean. Education is provided to every child, wages are high and there is virtually no unemployment. As a result, tourists to the island are not confronted by begg- ing children in the streets and the hassle of vendors on the beautiful Seven Mile Beach. Don't be surprised if you are offered a lift into town by one of the locals as they seem to enjoy having you on the island. In addition to the diving, vacationers to Grand Cayman can just relax on the beaches, tour actual pirates' caves, visit the tur- Ue farm, go deep sea fishing, take to the tennis courts or play a round of golf using the special Cayman Ball developed by Jack Nicklaus. The main island also af- fords you the opportunity to go to Hell. Located near the north end, the tiny village of Hell has its own post of- fice and most visitors send a few cards back home bearing the famous postal mark. Weather in the Cayman Islands is generally perfect with an average annual temperature of 27C. Dining out can be casual or a dressier affair with some of the better restaurants located at The Grand Pavilion Hotel, the Hyatt Regency and the Ramada Treasure Island resort. By the way. the latter is also the top nightspot an Grand Cayman - Accommodations vary from condominiums, vitas, hotels and resorts on Grand Caymen to smaller properties on the other two islands. You may spend a bit more on a Cayman holiday but the value received is certainly worth the price. Celebrate Ontario Fast Travel Facts In 1989, direct tourism expenditure in Ontario was $12.9 billion. This ispending directly supported the equivalent of 160,000 full- time jobs and generated $5.2 billion in taxes to all levels of government. Ontario residents ac- count for approximately 80 per cent of the total number of travellers and 75 per cent of tourism revenue in the province. Ontarians took approx- imately 18 million person - trips in Ontario in 1990 which involved participa- tion in festivals and fairs, cultural and sporting events. On more than half of these trips travellers stayed overnight. Tourism is the fourth largest export industry in Ontario. More than 4,000 com- panies, organizations, government bodies and associations coordinate or sponsor events throughout Ontario each year. 160,000 full-time jobs in small towns and major cen- tres across the province NOVA TRAVEL LTD.

Archaeology Tours At Historic Fort York Make an archaeological discovery at Historic Fort York as the Toronto Historical Board presents Archaeology Torus on Aug. 31 and Sept. 1st at 2 p.m This year, Archaeology Tours features a look at two of Fort York's seven original War of 1812 buildings - the brick magazine ( built in 1814 ) and the stone magazine (built in 1815). Participants will visit ex- cavation sites for a look at methods employed in modern archaeology, and visit the on-site ar- dnaeology lab for a glimpse at artifact cleaning and cataloguing. Also included in the tour is a narrated slide presen- tation outlining major ar- tifact discoveries from the Past four years and a chance to examine the fort's archaeology exhibit featuring artifacts that date from the site's earliest occupation - 1793 to 1820. Tours are conducted by Catherine Webb and David Spittal, director and assn, tant director of the Fot York Archaeology Project. The brick magazine, originally built for the storage of black gun- powder, was later con- verted to a two-storey weapons storehouse in 1824 when it was discovered that its walls were unable to support the weight of a vaulted bombproof roof. The design of the stone powder magazine, however, proved more suc- cessful as its superior design supported a vaulted roof permitting the storage of 900 barrels of black powder. Archaeology Tours are included with regular paid admission to Historic Fort York: $4.25 for adults, $2.25 for children 12 and under, $2.50 for youths and seniors. Historic Fort York is located in downtown Toron- to on Garrison Rd. off Fleet St., between Bathurst St. and Strachan Ave. The fort is TTC accessible via the 511 Exhibition street car from Bathurst subway sta- tion.

Ontario Hydro Energy Saving News Flee In Its Place. Keep the hot summer sun outside by closing drapes, curtains and blinds during the day. This simple measure will avoid un- necessary heat gain from sunshine windows, say Ontario Hydro energy efficiency experts. Shade West -Facing Win- dows Shading windows with an eastern, southern, and especially, western ex- posure, can help keep the house cool. Deciduous trees on the southern and western sides, trimmed high so breezes can pass beneath to ventilate the house will provide shade to cool the air passing under them, says Ontario Hydro. Direct Sun Hampers :lir Conditioning Efficiency Direct sunshine may reduce air conditioner effi- ciency. Where possible, window air conditioning units should be placed on the north or shady side of the house. To ensure effi- cient - and economical - operation of the unit, keep the vent grille clean, On- tario Hydro's energy effi- ciency experts suggest. Think Renovation, Think Energy Efficient windows Perhaps summertime is the time to think about home renovation. If replacement windows are being considered, Ontario Hydro recommends double glazed as a minimum, but better still are the new Low Emissivity (-Low E-) win- dows. These are as energy. efficient as triple glazed windows without the bulk and weight. Hydro will pay $5 a square foot to electric beating customers for the installation of energy effi- cient ("Low E") windows installed by a contractor. Keep Your Cool, Insulate Proper insulation is just as important in keeping the house cool in suunmer as it is in keeping it warm in winter. Insulation levels should reach today's stan- dards, which for new homes is stipulated in the Ontario Building Code as R32. Save It 'Til Seven Because appliances give off heat which a cooling System has to counteract, Ontario Hydro's energy ef- ficiency experts suggest householders minimize ap- pliance use during the hot- test times of the day.
