(Photo - Bob Watson) Development Charges On Council's Next Agenda by Brenda Birinyi Pickering Council next week will pass a by-law allowing the "imposition of development charges against land if the develop- ment of the land will in- crease the need for ser- vices. " In other words. the land developer will now pay to support the infrastructure that impacts that municipality such as roads. pants and increase hydro use as a result of the new development. It has been a constant complaint of many tax- payers who feel land developers build new sub- divisions, them leave the town in a difficult position trying to carry the addi- tional costs incurred by the development. Costs accumulated by the municipalities to then provide such services to the residents, are passed on to all residents in the form of increased taxes. The idea of collecting these additional funds from developers has some future home buyers worried the costs will end up in added lot levies, which will even- tually get passed on to the new home buyer. The provincial govern- ment has given authority to individual municipalities to enact the by-law and deter- mine what charges they want to tax the developer. Toronto, Scarborough and North York have already passed the development charges by- law, and according to one city councillor, Toronto has already collected millions of dollars in additional revenue. The money now collected from the developer, forces the developer to become more responsible to the municipality where they build and increase residen- tial growth. Imposing the develop- ment charges, however, does not come without some draw -backs. Coun- cillors Van Kempen and Dickerson pointed out at last week's committee meeting that the added charges could result in Pickering losing its "com- petitive edge". The additional new costs developers now would have to pay out, could easily add up in the tens of thousands of dollars. If, for example, Ajax or Whitby decided not to enact the by-law, it would result in an obvious financial saving for a developer to take his new building construction to that town. Therefore the loss revenue from the developer, to the town, as the result of new home con- struction could add up substantially especially in this 'down time' in the economy., Many residents feel, nevertheless, not attrac- ting new building starts in Pickering at this time is fewer new homes built m just rine. Unfortunately, Pickering. the more our from a corporate view, the taxes go UP anyway. Wilson's Trio At Library One of Canada's most talented and acclaimed concert ensembles, "Catherine Wilson's Trio Vivant", performed at the Pickering Public Library on Fri. Sept. 27. Founded by concert pianist; composer Catherine Wilson, the Trio has earned an enthusiastic following across Canada and the United States for its amazing diversity of repertoire. Equally adept with the music of Broad- way as it is with that of J.S. Bach, the trio's program spans three centuries of composition. It includes music of the great classical masters, to the rhythms of ragtime, to popular music from Gershwin to the pre- sent, as well as Catherine Wilson's own compositions. Catherine Wilson earned her Bachelor of Music Degree in Performance at the University of Toronto PRINTING 683-1968 IU and went on to obtain a Masters in Piano Per- fomance Degree at the University of Michigan the following year. Over the past few years she has charmed and dazzled au- diences as a piano soloist; with her piano duo partner John Arpin (The Arpin and Wilson Duo) in both recor- dings and the concert stage; and as pianist and leader of her Trio, in stage, television, radio, and recor- ding appearances. The Trio's CD release on the Fanfare/Pro Arte label "Palm Count Pleasures" has become a favourite on CBC programs, and a fast seller in record stores in both Canada and the United States. The trio's se- cond CD "Palm Court En- cores" with the Jubal Pro Arte Label, will be available in record stores by Oct. 25th. "Rags to Riches", an earlier Fan- fare/Pro Arte release, with the Arpin and Wilson Duo is a smash success on both sides of the border. As a composer, Catherine has created and performed in- cidental music for three seasons of the popular CBC series `The Scales of Justice".

Ontarians finally stopped working for the government and began working for themselves. Tax Freedom Day is a statistic compiled by the Fraser Institute which indicates on what day of the year we stop paying taxes and start making money for ourselves. If we consider only taxes paid, this date in Ontario is June 25. If we figure in the budgetary deficit on the assumption that the NDP's $9.7 Billion Deficit has to be paid back at some point, even if not in the current year, then Ontario's Tax Freedom Day becomes August 2. No matter how you figure it, Ontario is by far the most heavily taxed jurisdiction in Canada. Since the NDP Budget in April, thousands of Ontarians have participated in a variety of ways to show their opposi- tion to Premier Rae's and Treasurer Laughren's prescip- tion for our ailing economy. 'Through petitions, faxes, let- ters and phone calls. I have heard directly from more than 7,000 ordinary Ontarians, and I know that there are many more who feel just as strongly. They have said that the tax and spend philosophy of this government has to end, and they have told us to keep fighting. To continue our campaign to explain to main street On- tario the economic folly of the government's policies, we have developed a document entitled "Today's Deficits are Tomorrow's Taxes :'As an Ontarian, and as a leader in your community.

Progressive Conservative Party Leader No Fault Insurance Dear Editor: On Sept. 1, 1991, for the very first time I bought a copy of your Highland Greek nev►spaper. I thoroughly enjoyed it. The reason why I am writing to you is that I did have the opportunity of reading the article which dealt with the general concern of the government taking over the automobile insurance industry. I do not know if you are aware as to the changes in the automobile insurance legislation which was implemented in June of 1990. commonly referred to as "no-fault" car in surance. The car insurers for approximately ten years prior to the implementation of no-fault complained to the Ontario Government that they were losing money hand over fist, and if the rules of compensation payments to innocent vic- tims were not changed, they would have to pull out of On- tario or face bankruptcy. What was overlooked by the On- tario Government was that the 200 automobile inters ex- ecutive salaries were up; dividends paid to shareholders were up. stock prices were up and investment revenue and income were up. Regardless, the Ontario Liberal Govern- ment (past 1 changed the rules and allowed close to $1,000,000,000.00 of tax breaks, benefits and reductions to the car insurers. Specifically, payments to innocent victims of motor vehicle accidents were greatly reduced. One of the legislation changes is the "threshold". Unless someone 1) died, 21 suffered a serious disfigurement, or 3) a permanent, serious impairment of an important bodily function caused by continuing injury which is physical in nature, an innocent victim of a motor vehicle accident loses their rights. This "threshold" eliminates approximately 95 percent of the victims who are injured in accidents from receiving compensation from the wrong -doer. The present no-fault scheme is terribly unjust. I have no hesitation in asking the government to rectify a terrible wrong. Yours very truly.

CGDB is located in Manotidc, just south of Ot- tawa. Its mandate is to train and provide guide dogs at no charge to visual- ly impaired Canadians. About 30 trained guide dogs are produced per year and each paired up with a suitable visually impairM person. It takes almost two years before a guide dog is ready to go home and start real work as a guide and com- panion for someone. The first year of the dog's life is spent with a volunteer foster family, who raise it from a young pup into adolescence. Their job is to take the pup into their home, give it basic house and obedience train- ing and expose it to most situations it will encounter later as a guide dog. The next stage of fram- ing lasts six to eight mon- ths, at the Canadian reAde Dogs for the Blind centre, where professional trainers teach the dog to walk in harness and to avoid obstacles. The final stage is a month long course where the new, visually impaired master comes to the centre to learn how to handle and work with their new guide dog. CGDB, registered chan- ty No. 0673145W, is solely dependent on donations for its continued growth. For information, or to offer financial support contact: Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind.

Energy -Saving Retrofits For tion -Profit Hous - Mg On March 12 Hydro announced a new $26 million three- year hreeyear program to retrofit up to half of the 100,000 Ontario non-profit housing units with electricity -saving equipment. Non-profit housing represents a significant energy-saving opportunity," said Dane MacCarthy, Hydro's Vice - President of Energy Management. "In three years' time we expect the electricity in Ontario's non-profit housing sector will be lower by 30 megawatts. That's enough to meet the needs of a town the size of Orangeville." The Hydro program has three components: lighting, air leakage control, and water heating. All non-profit housing buildings can apply to be converted to energy efficient lighting. Water heater tuuneups and energy efficient showerheads will be offered to the 20 percent of non-profit buildings with electric water heating. In the past two years Hydro's energy management ac- tivities have reduced electricity demand by over 300 megawatts, enough to meet the needs of a community the size of Kitchener. Learn From Germans About Managing Wastes by Leslie Daniels Three years ago I toured hazardous waste facilities in western Germany and Sweden with some other residents of Niagara region. The purpose of the trip, which was spon- sored by the Ontario Waste Management Corporation (OWMC), was to see the kinds of technologies being used in those countries to manage hazardous wastes. We were especially interested in the German facilities, particularly the incineration plant at Biebesheim near Frankfurt. The Biebesheim incinerator is the model for the rotary kiln incinerator proposed for OWMC's state-of-the- art hazardous waste facility. If OWMC's proposal is ap- proved - it's now being reviewed at a pubic hearing - the people hired to run the facility will probably be sent to Biebesheim for hands-on training. Having seen German facilities in operation, I'm convinc- ed that we in Ontario have a lot to learn from them about how to manage our hazardous wastes. Safe technologies The Germans have had hazardous waste facilities for more than 20 years. They have developed highly effective technologies to deal with their hazardous wastes without harming either the environment or human health. Most of the faciltiies I visited are situated fairly close to residential areas. Some of them are surrounded by farmland. Yet there is no evidence that hazardous waste facilities are hav- ing a detrimental effect on human health or the marketing of locally grown produce. In Germany today, you would have a hard time finding people who disagree with the need for waste treatment and disposal facilities. Even the Green Party - the most radical environmental group in Europe - recognizes that waste reduction, while important, cannot be a substitute for safe treatment and disposal. We did notice several differences between the German facilities and the one being proposed for Ontario. Because of the scarcity of available land, the Germans have had to locate facilities wherever they could find a suitable site. They have not been able to carry out a long. in-depth search for the best possible location, as we have been able to do in Ontario. (OWMC is proposing to build its facility near Smithville in the Niagara region. Nor have they been able to build integrated facilities with a lab, treatment plant, incinerator and landfill all on one site, such as the one OWMC is proposing to build. But the most fundamental difference is in attitudes. While there is some local opposition to new facilities in Ger- many, they are generally more inclined to view the pro- blem of hazardous wastes as one which is shared by the whole society. And they are more willing to use their technology to help solve it. Isn't it time we did the same? Lawrence Ave. E. - Bayly St. Over Rouge Opposed by Breads Birinyi Both Scarborough and Pickering Councils have again sent a clear message to Metro Toronto and Durham Region that they are opposed to another highway over the Rouge River. The issue is an old one that dates back to the early 1970's when the idea of developing a major new road was introduced. The proposed highway would take in Toronto, Scarborough and Durham Region communters. Environmentally, Scar- borough and Pickering have the most to lose. The Proposed highway would dissect through the en- vironmentally sensitive Rouge Valley which shares its borders with Scar- borough and Pickering. These concerns have been echoed in a Scar- borough planning commit- tee report where Scar- borough Council stated its concern about the impact such a highway will have on the Rouge River Valley. In addition, the report ex- pressed concern that such a proposal would be in con- flict of the Rouge Valley Park plans to which the government has already committed itself. Earlier in the year, Pickering Council unanimously voted in favour of having the pro- posed Lawrence -Bailey ex- tension removed from Durham Region's official Durham Region received the request from Pickering Council, however, the reVon is not in favour of removing the highway ex- tension from its plans. With Scarborough Coun- cil bringing this conten- tious issue to the forefront again, it now has resulted in Durham Region deciding to make its final decision on Oct. 22 whether or not to side with Metro Toronto to approve the highway con- struction or join Scar- borough and Pickering in their battle to preserve the Rouge Valley from further environmental destruction. --------------------------------- Give A Gift That Lasts All Year!

Brian is also pressing for the implementation of market -value assessment which would be a great ad- vantage to the taxpayers of the City of Scarborough who have paid more than their fair share of property taxes for over 17 years. Despite rumours that Brian was run. -ung for the position of Mayor for the City of Scarborough, and the numerous individuals and groups who were urg- ing Brian to seek the office of Mayor, Brian believes he will best serve the residents of Scarborough City Centre. and Scar- borough as a whole, by re- maining at Metro Council.

September ?-i, 1991 My fellow Canadians: Today in the House of Commons, the Prime Minister is putting forward proposals to renew the Canadian federation. The proposals are not fixed or final. They are a basis for discussion. Canadians are encouraged to debate them vigorously and openly and suggest how they can be improved so that every Canadian can feel welcome, understood and respected in our own land. A Special Joint Committee of the House of Commons and Senate will seek the views of Canadians on these proposals. Please participate actively in the Committee's work. It's an opportunity to forge the kind of Canada that can best serve the interests of Canadians now and in the future. The process of renewing the Canadian partnership will not be easy. Canada was bom and built because previous generations understood that unity is the key to prosperity and that the keys to unity are tolerance, compromise and goodwill. In difficult times, these characteristics are often in short supply but that is when we need them most. Canadians have the opportunity as never before to create a Canada in which all Canadians can feel at home. Together, we have the opportunity to strengthen this country to make it more prosperous and more responsive to the aspirations of all its people. 1 urge you to take part in renewing Canada. It's our country that's at stake. The Right Honourable Joe Clark, President of the Privy Council and Minister Responsible for Constitutional Affairs. I I Canad'a` 4 THE NEWS!POST Wed.

October 2, 1961 Bill Watt's Worlds AT THE OPERA: On the legitimate stage the play has always been, and ever will be, the thing. In opera the music is the thing and all too often one has experienced weak scored operas ostensibly strengthened by spectacle. When, however, a fine opera is wedded to tasteful spectacle. an opera lover's pleasure is complete . repeat. complete. Such is the case with the Canadian Opera Company's production of La Traviata at The O'Keefe. We blushingly confess that we were predisposed against it at the outset. That was after having read that director Brian Mac- donald had joined forces with Canadian designers John Ferguson and John Pennoyer "to underline the tension and feverishness of a decadent society" by designing a production with "abstract sets and realistic costumes". Why tamper with the tried and true we thought. Well damme! the set design is just brilliant . . literally. Constructed of plexiglass and chrome, it is a mirrored glass cube that enhances distance and multiplies crowd effects. It transforms what many regard as an intimate love story into an almost epic. Quite effective and well worth repeat custom. The performers' All Jolly -if one can employ the adjective for La Traviata - good .. ever excellent. Nancy Gustafon is quite the most fresh -faced Violetta we've e xpenenc- ed. As friend and fellow reviewer Frank Raslky sug- gests, she is rather mindful of a Tammy Gidget,type in the blues over Moondoogie. So in appearance, she might not be the Violetta that one usually expects but, again, the music is the thing in opera and she serves it well. Her high crystal soprano probes the emotions of the role in such a manner that one's own emotions are ex- posed. Yes, we wept . again. Jorge Lopez-Yanez is ef- fective as Alfredo, which is to say, that one can't really like him .. as a character. All men and, we suspect, most women wonder what a Violetta could see in such a wimp as Alfredo but . . love is blind etc. One supposes it's a tribute to the artistry of Senor Lopez-Yanez that one dislikes his character role while ad- miring his sweet, almost fruity tenor. (Don't bother conjuring up Cassandra! We mean fruity in the literal sense.) Alfredo's father is a role that taxes many artists. Is he to be a mean-spirited roan or simply a well - intended gentleman who wishes only the best for his offspring? Leas Girhn May plays him somewhere bet- ween the two extremes and makes of him a man recognizable to all fathers. Reliable Cornelis Opthof is courtly as the keeper of the courtesan. He sings well -that goes without saying -but even if he issued not a note, he would still compel sympathy and ad- miration by his regal bear- ing- Richard Bradshaw con- ducts with flourish and new chorus master Gary Wedow is a name and power of and from whom one expects much in the future.

We recommend it without equivocation. ON STAGE ONE: Generally speaking, alternative theatre produc- tions aren't funny or, at least, deliberately so. Every so often, however, a well written comedy work comes along that proves to be an exception. Such a work is being presented by the Canadian Stage Com- pany at its Berkeley Street Theatre. Written by Peter Wildman and Richard Green, it's titled "Suits" and is wildly, outrageously funny. Thank heaven it's funny because it's too close to the truth for comfort. If it didn't make you laugh, you'd cry. As it is, one is somet pressed to know if t� coursing down roe's cheeks are those of laughter or of sadness. For those who have worked in the executive suite, chances are they're more likely to be the latter. Briefly stated, Suits ( the current boa word for cor- porate power -as though on- ly important people now wear suits) is a wacky, almost farce like look at the machinations of cor- porate business and its don't give a damn attitude for the good of anything ex- cept profit. Digression:The Colgate plant on Carlaw Ave. is be- ing closed, not because it's losing money but because greater corporate profit can be made by closing it and who gives an itshay for the worker! Great eh'! Resumption:Su its should be a tragic work except that it's so damnably -again literally -funny. When quizzed about equal opportunity hiring, the corporate head of many names, beautifully and straight faced played by Richard Gishler, declaims ..There aren't too many young crippled Black chicks around. "Earlier, when announcing the take over of a cookie company, he had stated "Cookies are good. Profits are gooder." Commenting on the in- creased production after the acquisition, he avows "that's a shit load of cookies". Alana Shields as a Human Resources manager remembers when her department used to be called Personnel. All cast members play multiple roles except Bob Bainborough as Jack Wright, a corporate neb- bish who stumbles from one high paying job to another. Dana Brooks is stunning as the upwardly mobile slut while Catherine Gallant is almost evil personified as a well girdled bitch on the corporate make. Neil Foster is all sad - eyed sheep in his many roles and, accidentally, we're sure, manages to look like A.J. (? ) Teats, the rapacious head of the 15th Year For Stage Centre Productions Artistic Director L. Garth Allen chose the Rogers and Hammerstein hit classic "Oklahoma" to begin Stage Centre Produc- tions 15th anniversary Season. Garth Allen has been the artistic director of Stage Centre Productions for 15 consecutive years and Oklahoma represents the 72nd production mounted by the company. Allen says one of the reasons for the huge suc- cess of the theatre is the fact that 90% of its members have been with the company since its in- ception. Mounting each repertory season is his challenge and he always eagerly looks forward "to the next pro- duction". Stage Centre Production's mandate is a full repertory company dedicated to artistic ex- cellence and dedicated to doing tried and true classics. Allen doesn't believe in awards saying "no amount of awards is going to make it better". Nor does he believe in competition. '"Ilse competition is with one's self, constantly striv- ing for quality," he said The company rents a large industrial space which is used as a workshop for the construc- tion and storage of all the L.Garth Allen Artistic Director sets, costumes, wigs and properties, and it includes a replica of a stage for rehearsal purposes. Rehearsals are held twice weekly, Thursdays and Sundays. The next performance by NOW vokmtoors The York Woods Regional Libraries need volunteers to wort on a one-to-one basis with children who are having reading difficulties.

Stage Centre Productions is Jason Miller's Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award win- ner "That Championship Season", which will be presented Nov. 14th to 30th. All performances are held at Fairview Library Theatre, 35 Fairview Mall Dr. For ticket information and reservations call 431-7170. Garth Allen is also founder and conductor of the Scarborough Schools Youth Choir which began about 20 years ago. He has accompanied the choir on many concert tours in- cluding to Austria, Ger- many and Great Britain. Choir rehearsals are held every Wednesday. Allen was born, raised and educated in Warkworth and Camp- bellford, Ontario. He is an honours graduate from the University of Western On- tario. Garth Allen taught choral music and English in Belleville and Scar- borough before being W pointed as Supervisor of Music by the Scarborough Board of Education in 1968, a position he still holds. He is a member of the Board of Governors of the Crest Theatre, Theatre Toronto and St. Lawrence Centre for the Arts. He is also the Singing Coach for the Stratford Shakespearean Festival. 3C:titi' :•::::•..: ti•'r'r:•:: i r::....::•::.:i :..: ::'r':} v'�t� v_::}_v a:: :x;}: -%X46 Greyhound corporation.

The real proof, however, is in attendance which we hereby recommend with enthusiasm. Tears of laughter or tears of chagrin, the choice of ex- perience will be yours. Warranted! ON STAGE TWO: The Canadian Stage Company's season launch at the Bluma Appel Theatre takes place Oct. 3rd. Though personal travel arrangements are such that we shall not be in at- tendance, we have pleasure never the less in re commending the opening attraction. It is Moli4tre's Tartuffe directed, adapted and updated by Derek Goldby. Usually your correspon- dent is uneasy about tampering with the classics, our feeling being that one should not challenge an absolute. Yet, we have confidence in young Mr. Goldby ; a con- fidence that tells us he will not bowdlerize. We will, as always be pleased to hear from any of our readers who accept our sight unseen recommenda- tion of Tartuffe. TRIBUTE: Our affection for Anne Mirvish is probably this community's worst kept secret. Regrettably, those same travel arrangements that prevent our atten- dance at the opening of Tartuffe will not allow us to be in attendance at a tribute for her to be held on Oct. 8th in the Grand Ballroom of the Sheraton Centre Hotel. The everi tV will begirt with a reception at 6 p.m. followed by a concert given by Michael Burgess at 7. For those few who might be unaware, Mr. Burgess is the acclaimed Valjean of Les Miserables currently playing .. and playing, at the Royal Alexandra. Dinner will begin at 7:30. The events and happen- ings are all under the auspices of Boys Town Jerusalem to whom all net proceeds will be donated. Boys Town Jerusalem is one of many of Mrs. Mir- vish's charities and we think it's just great that it is honouring her in such a grand manner. This is a lot ticket item but you just might get lucky by 'plioning 789-7241. The cost of individual tickets is $250 but tax receipts are available in the amount of ;150. There are also special conces- sions for tables of ten. Sorry we can't be there in person Mrs. M. but we'll be there in spirit. Here's a kiss on the cheek in the mean- time. PASSAGE: Among the many benisons of our calling is the opportunity to meet many and nice people. One of the many and nice with whom it's been our pleasure to share a crossed path is Ken Wittich who by now is more than simply a Pon pal We've mentioned him in this space before. His nominal home is in Coral Gables, Florida but almost any place in the world he hangs his hat is home. We met him in T. 0. a few years ago when he was a house guest of Mark and Angela Terry, owners of the Bayview Playhouse Theatre. The three in turn had met in Roumania at Cant Dracula's castle. Though our meeting was all too brief, there seemed to be an instant rapport, probably caused by similarity of backgrounds. We surrendered our thes- pian vocation a number of years ago. ( The only acting we do now is trying to con- vince that we're really what we seem not to be. Puzzle that one out!) Ken, however, continues to perform as a singer, dancer and light comedian. He's probably the best known performer in Coral Gables and has also ap- peared on network televi- sion. He leads, we believe, a charmed and charming life that combines the best of travelling and performing. And, he is a modern day Dorian Gray. Oh, be's not a dissolute but he simply doesn't seem to age. All of this is preamble to the announcement that Ken hits the double five on Oct. 8th. Knock back an extra one for us golden boy. Who knows; perhaps some day we'll both appear in The Sunshine Boys. (We want the George Burns role.)

Masked Mime At Theatre There is no need to understand any of Switzerland's three na- tional languages to enjoy "Il Prof umo Della Malizia" at the Premiere Dance Theatre the week of Oct. 8. Music will be the language heard, mime will be the language seen as Switzerland's TEATRO del CHIODO shares its hilarious artistry with Toronto audiences. The ti- tle of this speechless com- edy, enthusiastically laud- ed throughout Europe, translates roughly to "Tile Sweet Smell of Malice". Deftly switching more than 20 deliciously ex- pressive masks, the three performers portray in- habitants of both heaven and hell. One adventurous "devil" meets up with an angel who tempts him to follow her to Paradise. As we laugh at the antics of both those who dwell on high and those from the nether world, the eroticism and outrageous humour of this contemporary morality -comedy sets 1St pondering over where to draw the line twixt good Wild evil. Now, Sponsored by the Steering Committee of the Swiss Community of Toron to, and courtesy of the Swiss Chamber of Com- mence, in proud celebra- tion of their country's 700th anniversary, Toronto has the rare opportunity to en- joy a laughter -filled even- ing with one of Switzerland's contem- porary cultural treasures.

Oriole It was revealed this week that the NDP is moving to im- plement a massive overhaul of provincial labour legislation which would give trade unions sweeping new powers to organize workers and shut down workplaces during a strike. Secret cabinet documents were obtained by the Of- ficial Opposition winch outlined the plans. The documents outline 61 proposed amendments to the Labour Relations Act, which reflect most of the recommen- dations contained in a report written by trade union representatives who participated in the government's review of labour relations law. The proposals are expansive. According to the plans there will be an increase in the type of employees who would be eligible to join unions, such as supervisory person- nel. domestics, food processing workers, security guards and professionals, including doctors. lawyers and dentists. An amendment is proposed to prevent a unionized worker at a strikebound plant from crossing the picket line to return to work. Another feature of the plan, that will un- doubtedly frighten away business investment in the pro- vince, is a ban on the use of replacement workers during a strike. Another ban will be imposed on shifting workers within a company from a nonstriking workplace into a strikebotind plant. The balance of power will be in the hands of the unionized workers. There will be more rights for employees engaged in union organizing. A system will be set in place for an easier certification of unions, including the lowering of the level of support required for automabc certification to a simple majority, and the elimination of petitions opposing certification. The proposed amendments would also dramatically alter the role of the Ontario Labour Relations Board. The cabinet documents state that the OLRB would have the power to impose all term of a collective bargaining agreement and to order disclosure of any private informatm held by an employer that is - . . relevant to issues in !!isPute in bargaining (including financial information) .. The NDP is trying to turn the Ontario Labour Relations Board from an impartial adjudicator into an advocate for organized Labour. The recommendatJoes, winch are signed by Labour Minister Bob Mackenzie, would cost almost $8.5 million dollars over and above existing expenditures, to un- pkmient during the next three years, and would require the hiring of 55 new civil servants in the Ministry of Labour, ac- cording to the documents. The price tag includes a massive public relations cam- paign to counter expected opposition to the amendments. The communication strategy included in the documents states, "There will be special effort made to neutralize op- position from the business community. . " The documents indicate the government is planning to stage-manage public hearings to dilute opposition to the proposals. The document recommends that the Minister of Labour hold his fust public meeting with a business group to - .. show that the government is listening." The NDP's proposals will result in the loss of jobs by discouraging people from investing in Ontario and promp- ting existing businesses to leave the province. held at Civic Centre, Coun- cil Chambers, Main Floor, 850 Coxwell Ave. (Coxwell & Mortimer).

His death left Avery with two small children and many ques- tions about health, diet, physical and mental well- being. She kept meeting young won -men, particularly black women, who had health problems such as diabetes. kidney disorders and high blood pressure - problems they seemed too young to have. Avery organized a self- help women's group, which met regularly to discuss everything from nutrition and exercise to sex, child- rearing and finance. The first group W to many others and in 1983 she organized a conference on women's health issues, out of which the National Black Women's Health Project evolved. Dedicated to promoting the physical, mental and emotional well-being of women, the non-profit organziation reaches out to women who have few resources and limited education. There are now more than 130 self-help groups in 22 U.S. states and six other countries. As Avery puts it, "The groups are places -where you can expect love ,and support. The key is for women to feel good and understand who they are. Then they will pass that good feeling on to their families, male and female." While in Toronto, Avery will share her perspectives an issues such as child care, single parenthood, poverty and the need for women to develop physical and emotional well being. Tickets for the Byllye Avery Lecture an Oct. 3 are $20 and are available at United Way of Greater Toronto ( 777-2001 ), Tropicana Community Ser- vices Organization (750-4356) and Jamaican Canadian Centre (5354476). Peter Maher Seeks Student Runners Canadian marathon run- ner Peter Maher is speak- ing to Torontoa area high school students to challenge them to seek out their best and run the Glaxo i0k, part of the Shop- pers Drug Mart Toronto Marathon, Oct- 6. "As a student. I understood the value at taking on challenging goals," says Maher. "My challenge has been not only to run against the world's best in the marathon, but to keep my asthma under full control so I can realize my goals-" Maher is visiting Toronto area high schools, and will be at St. Michael College School on Sept. 19th at 8:30 a.m. and at Leaside High School on Sept. 20th at 8:45 a.m. The Glaxo 10k, he says, is ideal for this group, because they are under 18 years of age and can't com- pete in the full 42.2 kilometer. The 10 kilometer race is expected to attract nearly 1,500 participants and will start in front of the Royal Ontario Museum on University Avenue at 9 a.m. an Oct. 6th and cover a flat, fast downtown rate before finishing in an Olympic -style finish at Varsity Stadium. Glaxo Canada Inc., spon- sor of the event, is the com- pany responsible for Maher's anti -asthma medication. Maher placed 13th at the World Cham- pionships in Tokyo earlier this month, with a time of 2:12:39. To assist Maher in his goal of competing in the 1992 Olympic Games in Barcelona, Spain, Glaxo, Canada has provided him with a $150,000 three-year sponsorship to train full- time.

In 1991 alone, over 35,000 residents have picked up the unit of their choice bringing the total of units distributed since 1989 to over 67,000 with an additional 53,000 Metro residents expected to receive units by the end of this year. I am particularly pleased with the tremendous response to this program by the residents of the City of Scarborough. My "Environment Day" on Sat. Sept. 14th was a resoun- ding success with over 450 composters of various shapes and sizes sold. Metro's "Toxic Taxi" program proved to be the big issue of the day as residents helped to fill two large trucks with items such as paint, pesticides, propane cylinders, antifreeze, motor oils and approximately 200 old automobile batteries. Your participation in this program will ensure that these item will be safely disposed of by the Metro Works Department and will help eliminate the con- tamination of our water and sod. The finished compost tnat was offered was almost too successful as two truckloads were completely used up by 11 a.m. Although I am very pleased at the response, I apologize to those residents who arrived later on to find that it was all gone. However, continuing throughout September, you will be able to pick up free compost at the Morningside Yard on Morningside Avenue at Highway 401 on Saturdays and Sundays between the hours of 9 a.m_ and 3 p.m. while supplies last. I would like to take this opportunity to thank every one who came and participated in my "Environment Day" and to offer my congratulations. You made it a great success, and together we are making great strides in cutting back on the amount of waste going to landfill through these various waste reduction and diversion programs. ........... . ...... ...........

THE ANIMAL RESCUE MISSION Recently the Animal Rescue Mission had a display at the Pickering Town Centre. These people are devoted to animals and their mission is to save all unwanted pets and rescue animals in distress. It is run by full and part time volunteers and is entering its 21st year of operation. One of the fine programs that you can take part in is to become a "foster parent". While the mission is looking for a permanent home for the pet, you provide a monthly dona- tion to take care of its food, etc. You will receive a recent colour photograph of your foster pet - 50t a day ($15 per month) is all it costs. If you are interested and would like more information write to: The animal Rescue Mission, 2793 Danforth Ave., Toronto, Ontario M4C 1L9. The monthly newspaper is automatically sent to all pet foster parents. Hike Ontario Day Escape the city and discover nature on this province -wide hiking day.
