( Photo - Bob Wa tson ) Rick Johnson Seeks Wd.3 Regional Seat Councilor Rick Johnson, Ward 3 Pickering. has an- nounced his candklacy for the Ward 3 Regmal Post. Johnson sites the strong endorsement he has receiv- ed from his Ward 3 consti- tuents and local business as the main reason he is seek- ing the regional post. "Helping to solve the many small problems that citizens brought to my at- tention, things like traffic controls, park im- provements. saving trees, drainage and road repairs, was the most gratifying part of being on council the past 3 years. However, many concerns of residents and business people were regional issues and I could only help in an indirect way often having to refer the matter to my colleagues at Durham Region - I look forward to representing the best in- terests of Ward 3 on impor- tant issues like efficient use of taxes, putting to rest the lingering Dump issue, Regional planning and growth, and law enforce- ment at Regional Council during the next term of of- fice. " Johnson supporters note that Ward 3 is the largest Ward in Pickering and she of the largest in all of Durham. Strong and ex- perienced representation is an absolute necessity and they feel Johnson is clearly the man for the job. During his tenure on Couuncil, Rick Johnson was Co- Chairman of the Site Planning Committee and a Director of the Ajax - Pickering Social Develop- ment Council. His personal interests included Chair- manship of the Heart & the Canadian Cleft lip and Palate Family Association. Rick also sponsors and plays an (as time permits) several local sports teams. 70.0ft Johnson states "My `.

One of the hardest deci- sions a senior high school student must matte is to decide what to do after graduation. Ontario's universities, in a cooperative effort with the province's secondary schools, established the University Information Program (U.I.P.) to help students explore university education. Representatives from each of the 16 Ontario Universities and the Royal Military College visit every region of Ontario to provide first-hand information on programs of study, admis- sion requirements, costs and financial aid, hous- ing; residence, student life and campus visits. In some cases, attending the U.I.P. session will be a student's only opportunity to meet personally with representatives from cer- tain universities. We can all appreciate the difficult decision students face in choosing post- secondary paths and the importance of making an educated choice. The U.I.P. is a step in the right direction for those seeking degree level education. The U.I.P. program in this area will be hosted by the Durham Board of Education at Pickering High School, 180 Church St. N., Pickering on Thurs. Oct. loth from 7:30 to 9:.40 p.m. World Food Day In Pickering Mayor Arthurs has pro- claimed that Oct. 16th will be World Food Day in Pickering and Oct. 21st to 25th will be Small Business Week.

October 9, 1991 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Just 41 Years! by Bob Watson We just can't believe it - but it's true! On Fri. Oct. 4th, 1991 my wife, Irene, and I have completed 41 years of publishing our six weekly newspapers. It was away back in 1950 that we put out the first issue of the Pleasant Views and Ernest News for the community of Pleasant View in North York near the Agincourt border. In a short time people in Agincourt were asking for a paper and thus it became the Agincourt and North York News! Then came the Wexford News started in Scarborough in an area that got developed with homes instead of farms. A few years later we changed this newspaper's name to Scar- borough News, which it is today. Then the Don Mills community began to evolve and so we split the Agincourt and North York News to an Agincourt News and a Don ?Mills News. The years passed by and now we had the chance to take over where the Enterprise of West Hill had operated. This became our West Hill News. Another entrepreneur had a few newspapers, one of which was in the east end of Toronto. We bought it out and named it East End News to serve East York and East Toronto. That meant we had the Scarborough :'News, Agincourt News. West Hill !News. Don Mills News and East End News. Next we were asked to take over a weekly in Pickering call- ed the Bay Weekly Reporter. We did and changed its name to Pickering Post. which is our eastern most weekly today. Finally as Willowdale grew and Don Mills became a physical part of North York we changed the Don Mills News to the :North York News which made our six weekly papers we have today. Now we start our 42nd year and we thank all those readers. subscribers. advertisers and volunteer writes of the past for their efforts and hope we can go on in our drive to have the best read community newspapers for miles. Lieu's do it! Arguments Sway Minister The NDP government last week bowed to provincial Tory pressure in allocating $35.5 million for farm aid. On Mon- day. NDP members chose politics over action in voting against a Progressive Conservative Opposition Day Motion that would have offered immediate relief to Ontario farmers. The next day. Agriculture Minister Elmer Buchanan an- nounced a $35 million aid package. PC Agriculture Critic Noble Villeneuve called that a relief - but not a surprise. In the Horse. Villeneuve said, "'line $35.5 million is certainly better than nothing, and I understand that because of the debate . . in this Legislature yesterday I Monday 1 the package w•a-s enriched by $15.5 million this morning. However. there is a recognized need out there of $194 million just to meet the falling commodity prices. Quite ob- viously we have a major shotfall." Ontario PC Leader Mike Harris has consistently sup- ported assistance for the province's 60,000 farm families, saying "Our farmers need a level playing field. We cannot expect them to keep feeding this province when their com- petitors have the advantage of subsidies and other govern- ment assistance." Unfortunately, the New Democrats ap- peared unable to acknowledge the harsh reality facing On- tario's fanners and voted 62 - 36 to defeat the PC Opposition Day motion. Let's Buckle Up! By: Sandra R.

Pouliot says he supports the national goal of 95 by 95 - which means a target of 95 per cent usage by 1995. But he challenges Ontario to go even further. "Why not 100 per cent compliance with the seat belt law? After all it's the law... Nevertheless. the message to buckle up still remains a hard sell with the 20 per cent of Ontanars who refuse to use their seat belts. As a racing car driver, Richard Spenard knows all about the value of seat belts. "I see evidence every day all around me where seat belts save lives and prevent injury," says Spenard, Canada's winningest racing car driver. "I have been buckling up since I was 16. Now, if I didn't - it would almost feel uncomfortable or like something wasn't right. I want to do everything I can to promote that message.' Dr. Bruce Morgan, chairman of the trauma committee at Belleville General Hospital, has seen more than his share of Mainstream Canada When a right is wrong By Michael Wvcks One of the things to hit home during the strike frenzy which has beset our country in recent weeks, is just how intru- sive the government workers (including the crown corpora- tion employees) have become in the daily functioning of this country. Not only can a postal strike put many small businesses against the wall of bankruptcy, but when goods cannot move freely between the United States and Canada due to slowdowns and walkouts by our customs officials, and when one cannot get from here to there because air traffic controllers are on a work -to -rule campaign, and when two million people in Toronto are told to take a hike by a handful of transit empkyy m and when wheat sales are put at risk because of the inability to move the cornrnodity onto ships because of a strike by the Public Service Alliance of Canada employees (PSAC). then one has to wander if the 'right to strike' in some cases has become a wrong right. Not only do some of these strikes place human health and safety at risk, but they inflict enormous financial harm on innocent third party individuals and businesses which have abso- lately no defense against them. Take for exam;* a small business which has been hang- ing on through one of the worst recessions in decades, not to mention bang burdened with high taxes and for many months, excruciatingly steep interest rates. The last thing such a business needs are strike, which cut off cash flow because the ctequcs are stuck in the mail, or because that vital ship- ment is days late due to the truck bang delayed at the border. And how can anyone with any sense of reasonable- ness justify a transit strike which forces hundreds of thousands of people to walk miles in stifling heat just to get to work:' Perhaps all this will compel not only governments, but the general public to re-examine their attitudes about the right - to -strike matter. If that turns out to be the legacy of these public service strikes, then it may in the end be the straw that breaks the backs of union leaders who have for far too long used the strike weapon to hold the public hostage in order to get their way. Make no mistake, there will be many people thumping their chests with victory claims when all this mess subsides. Union leaders will undoubtedly claim that 'we showed them', while government will anxiously await the polls to see if they wort some points with the public- But ublicBut we have news for all those combatants. In case they haven't noticed, the country has turned out to be the big loser in all this. Canada is rapidly getting a well-deserved repu- tation as one of the leading strike -torn nations in the world, hardly something arty country would like to have if it is trying to attract foreign u vcstmemt and business to that shotes And don't talk about winning to a small business owner who had his or her financial back broken because one of these strikes turned out to be the final heavy straw. A lot of people in government and in the union movement nerd to took beyond their self interests. As long as they're unable (or unwilling) to do that, the country will con- tinue to be the real loser. And if that happens long enough, even the winners will lose CAS Feat" Sem cv Hospital Benerits from Energy -Saving Pro- ducts Hydro will help lay for new energy efficient lighting at St. Joseph's Health Centre in Toronto, which should reduce the hospital's energy casts by over $200,0[10 a year. Dane MacCarthy, Hydro's Vice -President of Entergy Manage- ment, presented the hospital with a cheque for $78.000 as part of the utility's program to promote energy efficiency in Ontario. More than 3,000 installations were made of compact fluorescent technology, which uses up to 70 percent less power than conventional lighting. The hospital expects to recoup its investment in less than one year with the Hydro incentive and the annual energy cost reduction. accident victims because the victims didn't buckle up. He knows it can take years to recover from the physical and emotional toll of accidents - that is if the person survives. Morgan says that a special message for pregnant women who feel buckling up could hurt their unborn child. "The first step in protecting the unborn child is to protect the mother by wearing a three-point belt (lap and shoulder belt)," he says "What people don't seem to realize is that the greatest cause of fetal death is the death of the mother." --------------------------------- Give A Gift That Lasts All Year!

More vironmentalists. "Everyone has a story than 10,000 individuals and about how the planning process has let them down," said Sewell, Chair- man of the Commission, "no matter whether they are developers, en- vironntentalists, farmers, (tome owners or apartment dwellers. We have to find a planning process in which everyone has confidence.,, "Our job is to find con- sensus that reflects everyone's interests in the planning proposals we develop," he said. "There is no reason On- tario shouldn't have the most progressive land use legislation in North America," Sewell added. More than 350 callers have already requested in- formation on the Commis- sion's activities in response groups in Ontario will receive copies. The Commission is presently holding a series of informal meetings designed to develop a con- sensus about planning goals. Working groups have been set up to tackle the planning challenges in at least five areas; urban, urban fringe, rural and small towns, cottage and recreational areas, and Northern Ontario. From now until mid- November, the Commis- sion will attend province - wide meetings of interested groups. For example, more than 25 meetings are already planned in places such as Thunder Bay, Sault Ste.

New Initiatives To Protect Human Rights Minister of Citizenship Elaine Ziemba has an- nounced a comprehensive strategy to resolve the backlog of cases at the On- tario Human Rights Com- mission (OHRC) and strengthen the Commis- sion's ability to manage cases effectively. "The strategy will enhance the social justice agenda of the government, be financially responsible and politically accoun- table," said the minister. "Mast importantly, it will ensure that the fundamen- tal rights of all citizens of Ontario are effectively pro- tected. " One-time funding of $6.4 ;million over three years has been allocated specifically to a project to restore the equilibrium of the OHRC. As of June 1991, the Commission had a caseload of 2,590 formal complaints, of which a significant number were unassigned cases over six months old. A two -track case management process will be initiated to resolve the case backlog and prevent its recurrence. The OHRC's regional offices will continue to investigate cases already assigned to officers, as well as deal with new complaints. Clos- ing time -frames will be established for all incom- ing cases. With the pressures of the backlog removed, the OHRC will undertake an immediate review in such areas as strategic plann- ing, management and ac- countability structures, staff training and customer service. Early in the new year, the Commission will publish a much needed and up-to-date picture of the development industry in Ontario. Otherwise, the Commission plans to make full use of the numerous ex- cellent studies on land use and piamring that have already been written about Ontario and jurisdictions with similar challenges. This information will assist the Commission in design- ing a planning system to in- teract fairly with builders and developers, while pro- tecting the public interest. Throughout 1992, the Commission will concen- trate on developing draft recommendations on the general approach to plann- ing and the relationships among the many regulatory agencies and the public and private in- terests involved in deci- sions. To fulfill the man- date to protect the public interest, the Commission's draft recommendations will integrate environment, P__ energy, agriculture and heritage concerns into land use considerations. As pro- posals are developed, public hearings will be held. Draft recommen- ditons are to be published by the end of 1992. The final stage will be another round of public hearings, this time to solicit views on the draft recommendations. Follow- ing the public hearings in winter and spring of 1993, the final report is schedtd- ed for completion by the surnrner. The Commission was established on June 12, 1991 by the Hon. Dave Cooke, Minister of Municipal Af- fairs. He appointed three full-time Commissioners, with experience in dif- ferent aspects of land use planning.

October 9, 1991 Bill Watt's Worlds AT THE OPERA: Part of the Canadian Opera Company's implicit mandate is to present one esoteric opera per season and the seldom performed Mdelio by Beethoven is ap- parently this season's choice. Good drama is timeless, which is to say that a change of time or setting need not diminish its im- pact. The young Orson Welles was among the first of the moderns to recognize this and his Mercury Theatre presented Shakespeare's Julius Caesar in a modern day fascist state. The C.O.C. has decided upon a similar approach in its production of Fidelio at The O'Keefe. Well, it hasn't done it anv harm but neither has it notably helped. Fidelio is a thin work at best and should have been a one act opera. That's the way Mozart would have done it. Indeed, one has the impres- sion that even the gloomy Beethoven realized that turgidity can be sustained for only so long and at- tempted to lighten up Fideho with a Mozart like introduction and finale. It works but in a curious way. That is to say that when one attends Beethoven, that's what one expects to hear: not Mozart. no matter bow So both the innovation of Beethoven and the C.O.C. achieve only minimal though honourable success. Dare one suggest that the endeavours were rather akin to placing a lily Dachas chapeau on the Venus de Milo' Mind. we are in no way suggesting withholding of one's custom at Fideho. Taken for what it is, the work is enjoyable and even, particular in its clos- ing moments, quite stirr- ing: enough so that one can even forgive a plot that's silly even by opera stan- dards. Briefly stated, Florestan is being held without trial in the dungeons of Don Piz - taro, a cruel dictator who regards him as dangerous. He has been there for two years while his wife L ux re worms in the home of the jailer disguised as the man Fideho in order to gain entry ionto the dungeon and save her beloved hus- band. We'll say little mare: by now, those who don't know the opera will have F SHOW the idea. In the title role Helena Doese does as well as anyone can, given the nature of it. Despite a bux- om build, she does not look masculine. Still, it's the singing that matters most and she is a delight to the ear, especially in the reu- nion scenes with her hus- band. Mark Baker as Florestan is quite formidable. His voice is tenor and yet he gives it the intensity of a baritone. Allan Monk is a villainous Don Pizarro and one much enjoyed bass baritone Claude Corbeil as the jailer, a basically de- cent man who finally sur- renders to the voice of con- science. What pity it is that he has been made up to look like a latter John Len- non, glasses and all. Director Richard Monette does well par- ticularly in the scenes of liberation. He handles crowds well but is not yet at ease with the acoustic dif- ficulties of the big O'Keefe stage. Fact is. most direc- tors have difficulty with it the first time out. Mario Bernardi con- ducted with skill and the chorus under Gary Wedow can command demand custom and appreciation on its merits alone. You will. at least, ap- preciate Fidelio and perhaps even enjoy it but, truth to tell, it's not one of the more memorable even- ings of opera. AT THE O'KEEFE: It's not clear in out un- political mind whether or not it's as a result of glastnost but the Hungarian National Ballet is now maiung its first ever tour of Canada. Locally, it will appear at The O'Keefe for two shows only -Oct. 15th and 16th. Of particular note and interest is that it will not be presen- ting several short works but rather a full length ballet. The work chosen is A Mid Summer Might's Dream with the incidental music of Felix The ballet world is ecstatic and rightly so over this engagement but we suggest no more so than our local Hungarian populace. We suggest. too, that the lobby of The O'Keefe will be filled with the grace of Europe. much heel clicking and kissing of •FINE WOOD CRAFTS 6 WOODWORKING • WOODWORKING DEMONS'RATiQNS • WOOD CARVING • SEMINARS • WOOD BOBBIES & GAMES O PRODUCTS& SUPPUES • CABINETS • ANTIOUE & PRIMITIVE TOOLS • WOOD FUR.

Appearing tomorrow and Friday at the Ryerson Theatre will be the group known as Momix presen- ting the world premiere of Moses Pendleton's Passion performed to the music of Peter Gabriel's score from The Last Temptation of Quist. Allow us now to quote directly from the excellent press release in describing Momix. It is a company of dancer -illusionists . . celebrated for its ability to conjure up a world of sur- realistic images using props, light, shadow, humour and the human body. We used the cut line Esoterica. One wonders now if we should have used Exotica or maybe even Erotica. Weil, it most certainly sounds interesting but one wonders what old Egerton might have thought of it. COMMENT: We read that Toronto lawyer John Tory has been named by The Quin to leveed the next federal election campaign for the party. No doubt the young gentleman (whose name is genuine but seems contriv- ed) is competent enough but one cannot help chuckl- ing now over the name of the family law firm for which he toils. It's called Tory. Tory and something else. Does no one recall that during World War Two, Japanese Kamikaze pilots on missions of sure suicide shouted Tora, Tora on their way to destruction. FAST EXIT: A prominent Turkish confectioner (yes, he made Turkish Delight) promoted an audience with a Sultan. "I don't think I recall your name,,. said the Sultan pleasantly, "but your fez is familiar. " I Dreamed I Was In Picasso's Shoes Contemporary Candian artist Theodore Dragonieri has painted, collaged and reconstructed 50 pairs of Shoes to represent 50 great artists of the 20th century. The footwear has been skillfully crafted in the manner of American and European artists including Chagall, Andy Warhol, Magritte, Salvador Dah, Matisse and of course Picasso, to name a few. Educational as well as entertaining, this is an art exhibition with a sense of humour. Dragonieri's work is on view at the Joseph D. Car- rier Art Gallery, located in Columbus Centre, 901 Lawrence Ave. W., North York until Oct. 27th. On Sat. Oct. 19th the artist will be at the gallery from 2 to 6 p.m. and the public is welcome. -i - 'Wed. October 9, 1991 THE NEWS/ POST Page 7 Children Are Not The Problem Says Black Women Congress Racism affects us all - no one is immune and children are its first victims. The Congress of Black Women of Canada, Toronto Chapter, recognizes that racism exists within our society and in order to com- bat negative attitudes, the issue must be confronted at an early age. To answer this concern The Toronto Chapter of the Congress presents the documentary, "Children Are Not the Problem", a film exploring anti -racist child care strategies on Fri. Oct. 18, 7 p.m., at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE), 252 Bloor St. E. "Children Are Not the Problem" is a 30 minute documentary with a wide focus. The film delves into the effects of biased educa- tion and expectations of children who come from a variety of racial and ethnic backgrounds and it shows how children from racial minority backgrounds res- pond to uncomfortable situations. The preschool years are the most critical in beginn- ing to shape an individual's social, emotional and cognitive development, yet there has been a lack of teaching material to deal with the affects of racism. The fact is, Early Childhood Educators and Daycare Centres don't have programming to deal with this issue. "Children Are Not the Problem" in- troduces parents, educators and care givers to a means of developing positive racial attitudes. The film is an informative tool in helping people cope more effectively with educating children in to- day's pluralistic society. Produced Claire Prieto and director Roger McTair are pleased to have worked on this project, as it is a good example of how the Black community gets ser- viced by Black film- makers. "It is important that we, as Black people see ourselves on the screen in all our complexities," states Prieto. The Congress of Black Women of Canada, Toronto Chapter was established in 1965 as a chapter of the Na- tional Congress of Black Women.The Toronto Chapter's major aim is to bring together all Black women regardless of coun- try of origin. class, age or Esprit Orchestra Steps Into "Twilight Zone" The Esprit Orchestra, conducted by Alex Pauk, will present the first con- cert of its 91192 season. .'Art and literature", on Oct. 19 at the Jane Mallett Theatre, St. Lawrence Cen- tre.

Born in War- saw in 1913, Lutoslawski studied both music and higher mathematics at the citys university. His early works are neo -Classical in style and suggest the in- fluence of Stravinsky and Bartok, while his more re- cent compositions combine a clear formal structure with rhythmic flexibility. The orchestra will also E 'Nana Symphonie' b_v French composer Marius Constant, who bas- ed the work on Emile Zola's study of societal clashes in 19th century France. Finally, Esprit will pre- sent the World Premiere of `Town', a musical tribute to Canadian artist Harold Town, written by his close friend Harry Freedman.

October 9, 1991 THE NEWS/POST Page 9 Close Hunting To Protect Geese Ontario waterfowl hunters have just been told that the goose season in the most southerly part of the province will be closed this year to protect dwindling stocks of Canada geese migrating from southern James Bay. The decision to close the hunt was made in August, after data compiled by the federal Canadian Wildlife Service (CWS) made it dear that the last two breeding seasons have pro- duced significantly fewer offspring. The season between Oct. 1-14, has been closed in Wildlife Management Units 90-94, which con- stitute most of the southern tip of the province where waterfowl migrate south in the fall. But the CWS, in coopera- tion with the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources, has not taken steps toward discovering the cause for the species' decline, said Dr. Dave Ankney, OFAH President and University of Western Ontario zoology professor. .. We definitely support the temporary closure to Centennial Wins Soccer On Sat. Sept. 2sth. a cool day and great soccer weather. Centennial played Algonquin Cats at Thomson Park, in O.C.A.A. men's soccer action. The Colts played enter - taming soccer and came away with a relatively easy 6.2 win. Scoring for Centen- nial were Frank Cardona and Mau nno Gatto with two goals each, while singles went to Craig McInall and Jim Allan. It was a very good team effort. This game left Centennial still unbeaten at T wins, 1 tie, o losses. The Celts currently lead the East Division and are tuning up for their next home game which is on Thurs. Oct. 10th at 4 p.m. at L'Amoreum Park, against arch rivals Seneca Braves. protect the James Bay flock, but there has been no serious attempt to get to the root of the problem, and I'm not aware of any government plans to in- vestigate," Ankney said. "There are several possi- ble causes, and corrective measures must be taken." Possible causes include increased fox predation, due to declining fur sales, human interference in nesting, climactic factors (either here or in the United States where the geese winter), and the tak- ing of the birds during breeding season by natives. Hunting in Southern On- tario is not responsible for the decline of the southern Jaynes Bay species, as the harvest has remained the same for years. Meanwhile, neither CWS nor MNR has addressed the huge problem posed by the rocketing population of Giant Canada geese. More than 100,000 nest in Southern Ontario annually, and the birds have been responsible for substantial crop damage in recent years. The Giant geese are larger than the James Bay birds, but it's difficult to tell the two apart. Giants rarely migrate, but spend the winter in Southern On- tario, where they devour crops and are nuisances w urban park areas and golf courses. Dona Stewardsan, Eo- vironmental and Rural Development Chairman for the Ontario Federation of Agriculture, said CWS should take steps to com- pensate for the Giant goose harvest that will be lost during the closure. The se- cond annual waterfowl season, which is Jan. 15.23, should be extended to allow for increased Giant harvest, she said. The James Bay birds are not in Ontario during that period.

October 9, 1"1 Business Community News Bank Plans $40 Million Complex Bank of Montreal has an- nounced plans to build a $40 -million complex in Scarborough that will become the core of the bank's employee develop- ment program. The new centre will be the only facility in the in- dustry dedicated exclusive- ly to the development of employees, and one of only a few such facilities in the North American corporate world. The scale model of the structure was unveiled at a lunch-hour ceremony by Bank of Montreal Chair- man Matthew W. Barrett. Assisting him were Ontario Premier Bob Rae and ar- chitect Raymond Monyama, of Moriyama & Teshima Architects, who designed the project. Construction on the cen- tre will begin in January, with completion scheduled for Summer 1993. In announcing the development project, the Bank chairman stressed that the initiative involved more than bricks and mor- tar. "First and foremost, it is about people." said Mr. Barrett. "It is a reaffirma- tion that to be among the best banks in North America, Bank of Montreal must have the best employees in the business.- Mr. u>,siness.-Mr. Barrett sees the new training complex as a direct outgrowth of the Bank's newly formulated Corporate Strategic Plan, which calla for more spen- ding on employee deve1W merit. Employees from all levels of the bank. and from around the world, will have the opportunity to take courses at the new complex. It will have fully equipped classrooms and breakout rooms, a 250 seat, multi-purpose auditorium, and accommodation for 150 out-of-town employees, in- cluding private bedrooms, restaurants and fitness facilities. It will also house the offices of the bank's training department. In all, more than 13,000 employees will visit the centre each year, as the bank moves toward its goal of providing 5 days of train- ing to each of its 34,000 employees every year - a level matched by only a handful of corporations in North America.

I OF NEW A IAMF� I Metro Council News 1998 World Exposition Metro Toronto Council has approved of hosting a world exposition in 1998 in Metro Toronto, sharing the costs with the provincial and federal governments. The other world bid for the exposition is Lisbon, Spain but experts predict that Metro Toronto has an edge over Lisbon for the approval from the Bureau International des Exposi- tions (BIE) for a number of Canada is in a com- petitive position to win this expostion because it established much goodwill through its Expo 2000 in- itiative and also as 25 of the 42 countries in the BIE are European a non-European country would keep the BIE position in perspective in the world. Toronto is also a superior location to Lisbonfor population catchment and infrastructure. And the governments of Ontario and Canada have endorsed the bid and are swinging behind Metro Toronto with support. Cant Security In Jan. 1, 1990 Metro Toronto was ordered to take over all court facilities in Metro Toronto by a pro- vincial law. Bill 187. This placed a cost of $4.5 mullion an the Metro police force. In attempting to find a way of getting more police forces on the street to com- bat crime council has been considering hiring private security forces to take over the job, releasing a good number of regular police officers. However, after review- ing many of the problem with this idea, council has decided to get more infor- mation from the chief of police before making a decision. :Metro Hall Reference Library Council has approved of spending $1,249,000 for a municipal reference library for the new Metro Hall. Traffic Control is Whitehaven Council has investigated the request from Scar- borough Council to install traffic lights at the corner of Milner Ave. and Scun- thorpe Rd. and fords that there is not sufficient traf- fic to warrant lights. However, Metro has sug- gested that Scarborough could fund the traffic lights if it wishes. Scarborough Council also requested that Havenview Rd. be included in the traf- fic signal operation at the intersection of Sheppard Ave. E. and Shorting Rd. However Metro officials in- vestigating this possibility say that they feel that only a "No left turn" for traffic coming from Havendale Rd. on to Sheppard Ave. E. would be useful. However, Metro is will- ing to build a pedstrian refuge island on Sheppard Ave. E. west of Massie Street in order to assist pedestrians wishing to crass Sheppard Ave. to catch a TTC bus. Widening of Hollywood Ave. Metro has agreed to give North York authorization to widen Hollywood Ave. at Yonge St. and Elmwood Ave. at Yonge St. but at North York expense. Community Services Grants Metro has received re- quests from 67 organiza- tions for grants for com- munity services totalling $1,190,549. However, Metro has only agreed to give sup- port to 36 groups for a total of $348,900. A large percentage of the requests came from ethno- specific groups but Metro had to reject many re- quests due to budget restrictions. Sheppard Ave. E/Durnford Rd. Council has approved of the expenditure of $459,170 for constuction at the in- tersection of Sheppard Ave. E. and Durnford Rd./Atrium Lane. This in- cludes the removal and reconstruction of concrete curbs, gutters and sidewalks, removal and reconstruction of asphalt pavement, removal and reconstruction of catch basins and connections and the installation of tuidergrouuud traffic signal ducts, handwells and pole bases. Bendale Acres Home For 1Le Aged Council has approved of the $21.8 million redevelop- ment of the Berdale Acres Home for the Aged. Best Comment Of The Day. Metro Councillor Detwyn Shea is referring to the taxes that are taken from Metro Toronto said: "Metro is a cow with the country sucking its milk off - but the cow needs to get more milk." Spadina LRT Council has allocated funds totalling $5.6 million for the Spadina LRT pro- ject. New Subway Cars Council has approved a TTC request to purchase 216 subway cars at a total cost of $580 million. Widening of Hwy 404 Metro Council has recommended to the On- tario Ministry of 1Yanswr- tation that the widening of Hwy.404 be conditional on improvements at the in- tersections of Sheppard Ave. E./Victoria Park Ave., Don Mills Rd. /York Mills Rd., and Victoria Park Ave. /Consumers Rd. being made at the expense of the Ontario Ministry. Council also recom- mends to the Ministry that the widening of Hwy.404 be conditional on the erection of a sound barrier on the west side of Hwy.404 north of Highland Memorial Gardens and south of Steeles Ave. before con- struction of the widening and a sound barrier erec- tion on the east side of Hwy.404 between Finch Ave. and McNieoll Ave. ... ...................:.5 .� ...... ................ ... ........ ............................: Metro Toronto Council Scarbnrouglr Bluffs BRIAN ASHTON - office open 8:30 a. in. - 4:30 p. m.

Approximately 235,200 books will be delivered this year. Customers who do not receive a directory by Oct. 30 should contact their local Bell Canada business office. In keeping with the wildlife theme used in other Bell advertising, this year's directory cover features a selection of North American birds, among them the Great Blue Heron and the American Goldfinch. Birds were chosen as a perfect representation of what Bell can offer its customers. In 1991 Bell Canada and Tele -Direct introduced ful- ly recyclable directories. The 1991-92 directories feature a cover made from recycled paper stock and in addition, all directories are bound with biodegradable glue and printed on a lighter weight 20 pound paper stock. Orma Lyttle, Bell's local business office manager, said the company is excited about the recycling pro - jest. "Bell Canada has a deep commitment to en- viornmental protection, and progress with the directories is only one ex- ample of the initiatives we have taken," she pointed out. She pointed out that Bell and Tele -Direct are also funding $300,000 in research at Canadian universities to help find new uses for recycled directories. At present they are being converted into such products as insula- tion, packing materials, asphalt and cardboard boxes as well as egg car- tons. Other important changes to this year's directory in the introductory pages sec- tion include: a reference under Emergency Calls to 9-1-1 emergency service for Durham Region customers which became effective on May 1, 1991 as well as a new listing for a Drug Helpline; and now, key information is highlighted in yellow to assist customers in locating required informa- tion about rates and ser- vices. with Rene Soetens, M.P. Back To Work We're not singling out the Public Service. Public sector wage restraint is an important part of our strategy to en- sure economic recovery by keeping government spending in check and fighting inflation. When it comes to controlling inflation or fuelling it, wage increases are either part of the solution or part of the problem. Rather than contributing to inflation with large pay hikes, we are showing leadership. We are also setting an ex- ample for other employers to follow - a majority of the pro- vinces have already introduced or are considering similar measures of their own. The wage restraint program will apply not only to those who were on strike, but to federal employees across the board - M.P.'s included. It might interest you to know that between 1984 and 1990, our salaries increased by 17.6%, compared to inflation of 29.6%, private sector wage hikes of 29.6%, and wage increases of 25.5% for federal government employees. We have been doing our part too. Our introduction of a law to get the then striking public servants back on the job will ensure that Canada's economy will stay in business, regardless of the outcome of new negotiations. The strike had disrupted services and hurt whole sectors of the economy such as farming and manufacturing. To en- sure compliance to this new legislation, it provides for fines of up to $1,000 a day for employees, up to $50,000 a day for union representatives. and up to $100.000 a day for unions. Now we're back on the road to recovery. Extradition Bill As predicted last week, the government introduced an ex- tradition bill that will safeguard us from another Charles Ng fiasco. This legislation will confirm that Canada is neither in fad nor in perception, a haven for fugitives. Sbapiog Canada's Futare We've put forward a package of proposals to renew the Canadian federation. However, this is not just Meech all over again. This is much more. This is the "Canada rotund". Its purpose is to renew the Canadian federation by pro- Posing changes which would make Canada more pro- sperous. recognize aboriginal rights, make the federal government more responsive to the people affuin in- dividual rights, including property rights in the Charter, and acknowledge Quebec's distinctiveness so that it feels secure and at home within Canada. These proposals, entitled "Shaping Canadians' Future Together" are not fixed or final, but are a basis for discus- sion. As such, I encourage you to debate them vigorously and openly and to suggest how they can be improved so that everyone can feel understood and respected in their oven iand. A special Parliamentary Committee will seek your views an these proposals. Please participate in the Committee's work. You will have the opportunity to have your say on the kind of country you want. Shaping Canada's future together will not be without poo- blems. However, it must be accepted that nation building did not end with Confederation. It is a never ending. and at times, painful process. We must build a renewed federation. Nothing would serve the economic interests of all Canadians more directly than clear resolution of our constitutional challenges. If you would like a copy of "Shaping Canadians' Future Together' they are available through my constituency of- fice by calling 686-0432. I encourage you to become familiar with these proposals. After all, it is our country's future that is at stake. Charles Ng I was pleased to see that the Supreme Court of Canada ruled in favour of the extradition of Charles Ng. Our new ex- tradition bill will ensure that this mockery of justice never occurs again in Canada. Canadianism Is First Multiculturalism Is Second Blood Donors Give The Best Gift Themselves!
