Sessions will be held on Friday mornings at 10:05 municipal election may not be over yet. Ward one regional can- didate, Ken Matheson, lost his bid for the regional seat to incumbent Maurice Brenner. Matheson now claims that ballots in the November election were improperly counted and backs up the allegation with a half-dozen sworn af- fidavits to that effect. "Ibe evidence is "very damning" said one Picker- ing Councillor after ex- amining the 50 page legal document submitted to council this week from Matheson's lawyer. Profiled in the appeal to the Ontario Court of Justice, to have the ballots in the election recounted, are sworn statements from Pickering residents who witnessed incompetence in Deputy Returning Officers (D. R.O.s ) and Polling Clerks working in the elec- tion. With Matheson leading in the polls throughout elec- tion night, local newspapers had declared reporting:him the wumer Matheson Upsets Bren- ner". However, with two polls left to come in after 11:30 p.m. Brenner emerged vic- torious causing newspapers scrambling to change the headlines. "It was obese two polis that tame in two and a half hours late, whet a the in- competence was witness- ed" claims Matheson who lost to Brenner by 174 votes. "I observed that polling clerks at poll IV (Picker- ing's Rougernount area) were having problems,.' revealed Angela Costar in her sworn affidavit. '"Ibey kept on lomnng track of ballots during the count." Similar accounts are documented w the applica- tion that will be heard before a Whitby judge on Dec. 30th to have an oRicial re-count of the November election. "I believe the purpose of the municipal elections, is to ensure that those who vote, have their votes pro- perly recorded and that the electoral process is beyond reproach," replied Matheson.

January 8, 1992 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Welcome To 1992 by Bob Watson Well another year is here and we have some valuable sug- gestions for our governments! Let's take the GST - this is the most expensive to collect tax in history. According to Ottawa we got this tax to replace the Federal Sales Tax of 13.5% and the reason for the transfer to the retail level was to help our manufactur- ing exporters have less cost on their products to sell outside the country. So why didn't the government exempt the tax on all exports' It would have been so simple! So the GST was to replace the FST - but that was not true. It was expanded to cover postage stamps, electricity and your local community newspapers which had been exempt from sales taxes because we believed in "freedom of the press". The Mulroney government cast all this aside to col- lect more money' Of course, while collecting more money the government had to hire 3000 more civil servants to issue cheques for ex- emptions and do the paperwork! In the meantime a reces- sion arrived and the GST added to the burden on small business. The recession was caused mainly. in our opirnon, by the Bank of Canada's ridicules ideas of keeping the Canadian dollar up from We U.S. thus making our sale of Canadian products to the U.S.A. difficult' Oh the Bank of Canada gradually lowered our interest rates - but it was a year or two late with Japan at 3% and the U.S. at 4% lower than Canada. All in all the federal government at Ottawa created all of the economic chaos for Canadian business, especially small business which is the main motor for economic strength. So herr are our recommendation' First, lower the Cana- dian dollar to 77c U.S.. cancel the GST and replace it with a 4.7% increase in income tax and cancel all free grants of money from our federal taxes to multicultural groups. native people and all other unnecessary handouts. A balanced federal budget would result and thus save our grandchildren from a huge national debit! Here's to an injection of realism and common sense into the Mulroney government' Canadians With U.S.Property Facing Double Taxes Catsadiam who own property in the united States should pian ahead to avoid the possibility of double taxation against their estate. says Ted Snider. president, S.F.G. Retirement Investment Centre. ..Because of a mismatch in the tax laws between the two countries, U.S. property may be subject to both Canadian capital gains tax and C.S. estate tax upon the death of the Canadian owner." Snider says. "And in some cases, the tax owing could approach 90% of the total value of the party... U.S. estate tax is levied on properties with more than $60.000 owned by Canadian residents, upon the death of the owner. regardless of his or her country of digin. For a $100.000 property, the tax is about ten percent of total value. For more valuable properties, the estate tax increases to a marumtrn level of 55 percent. In Canada. capital gains tax is also levied at the time of the owner's death, even if the property is situated in the United States. The capital gain is calculated by taking the current market value and subtracting the value of the pro - pert v ro- perty when purchased. IIf the property was purchased before 194-4 the value is determined as of Dec. 31, 1971.) Seventy-five percent of the capital gain is then taxed at a rate of up to 38.8 percent for Ontario residents. "Together, these two taxes can place a tremendous burden upon those who inherit your estate," Snider says. "In some cases. the heirs may be forced to sell the property just to pay off the tax.'. Snider says there are a number of steps that can be taken to lower or defer the tax payable on U.S. property. These steps include: Transfer ownership of the property to your children. By transferring the asset, you freeze the capital gain at the present value, thereby lowering the total tax payable upon your death. Any future capital gain will be applied to your heir's estate. However, this often means paying capital gains tax now. Transfer ownership of the property to a Candian holding company. Because a company cannot die, there is no U.S. hews 0S # Published every Wec!nesday by Watson Publishing Company Limited, Est. 1950 Office & Address: 150 Milner Ave. Unit 35. Scarborough. Ont.

Real Estate Is . . a Going, Going, Gone A surprising new method of selling teal estate has crop ped up in southern Ontario since the boom went bust. Auctioneer Ken Maynard, gavel in hand, has been selling cottage property, single detached homes. residential con- dos and industrial and commercial condos to the highest bidders for two and one half years now. "In Canada. people still think of selling real estate by auction as a novelty," says Ken Maynard, President of Ven- dors Real Estate Auctioners in Toronto. "But in Australia, auctions account for 75 per cent of all rural real estate sales." And in the U.S., the National Association of Realtors is predicting that by the year 2,1100, auctions will represent one third of all transactions, says Maynard. Presently the figure is about 11 per cent, However. the idea of selling real estate by auction is eat- chitig on well in southern Ontario. Maynard says he has awe auctions lined up between this November and February than the cumulative total he has hosted since starting his business in 1949. Hunter Milborne, president of Milborne Real Estate Cor- poration. one of Canada's top condominium maketers with offices in Toronto and Vancouver• is so impressed with Maynard that he is in the process of buying into the com- pam'. A Little Humour... A certain man had a great reputation for always catering his limit of fish. Everyone wanted to know his secret. One day the game warden asked to go along to see where he was fishing. The man acid the game warden got into the boat and row- ed to the middle of a nearby lake. The fisherman threw over an anchor. and them reached into a paper sack. He pulled out a stick of dynamite, lit a match to the fuse, and tossed it into the lake. There was a huge explosion and several fish floated to the surface. The game warden was irate. He yelled. --You can't do that! It's against the law!.. The fisherman them reached into the sack and pulled out another stick of dynamite. He lit the fuse and then threw it into the lap of the game warden. As he did this he asked. "Are you going to talk or fish''.' A mamed farmer showed a friend a story he had cut out of the rural newspaper. It concerned a man who had obtain- ed a divorce on the grounds his wife went through his pockets at night. Are yo going to show it to your wife'" the friend asked - '•Nope," the farmer replied. "I'm just gonna leave it in my pocket." estate tax. However, this method has drawbacks and is not always possible. Purchase a life insurance policy to provide the fug re- quired to pay the tax upon your death. While a fallback ap- proach, it is often the most practical solution and the cheapest method. "The important thing is to have enough liquidity available to pay off the taxes," Snider says. "Otherwise, your heirs may be forced to sell the property under un- favourable circumstances." Snider also notes that capital gains from the sale of real estate do not pose the same double taxation dilemma for Canadians. Capital gains tax paid to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service is offset by a tax credit on your Canadian tax return. Mainstream Canada All in the name of misguided ideology At, ,Wic•haef K'vcks The political rhetoric rolled off the speaker's tongue. Addressing a press conference recently, Ontario's Minister of Community and Social Ser- vices, Marion Boyd, outlined her government's intentions and then, in a matter of minutes, 650 private daycare operators saw their worlds turned upside down. The future of 6,.500 childcare workers is now up in the air with the government's decision to transform Ontario's daycare system completely to a publicly funded, non-profit industry. Here is yet another sign that the government and its policies are taking Ontario's economy for a dangerous ride to financial ruin. All in the name of misguided ideology. These are the facts: Queen's Park plaits to pump SI05 mil- lion into non-profit daycare over the next five years, while crating off an subsidies to the for-profit sector. Most of the millions will be spent on increases to nem -profit salaries (up to 52,000 per person, per year) and towards 'essooruaging' existing commercial daycare centres to corwert to non-profit status. None of the mousey win acme say new daycare spa= or improve existing ones, and, unfortunately. the staggering provincial deficit win simply mushroom even larger. All in the name of misguided ideology. The private daycare opera- tors, having invested substantial wms into their dream of caring for young children, are now set- ing that dream shattered by the Ontario government. To call them innocent victims is an undcr"a lent. The -for-profs' label is not acovrate since the vast majority make enough simply to continue operating. They are caring, responsible adults (mostly women), with the admirable wish of promot- ing healthy, well -adjusted chil- dren as a compliment to working parents' efforts. Their so-called cr;me, apparently in the eyes of the Ontario government, was their role as entrepreneurs. For that, their future has been snuffed out. All in the name of misguided ideology. For its part, the Canadian Federation of Independent Business had made numerous requests by mail and fax to.. with the government to discuss the daycare issue- There was no attempt by the government to respond to CFIB's inquiries and the federation's President John Bulloch now knows why. ..-This government has rede- fined "open consultation" to mean, 'forget about talking, we've got our own agenda to meet and no one's going to stop us'. ' Bulloch says "The day- care issue is just another exam - pie of this government ignoring an other groups while following their narrow ideology and appea%mg thew strident interest groups, mindless of the' their sweeping changes will bring to the economy. "It's as if the: NDP thinks government is the prime creator of wealth and prosperity for an economy, rather than the obvious—private enterprise- Ontario nterpriseOntario business confidence is extremely low at this time and I he N DP is doing a marvellous job of keeping it that way." Bulloch n concerned more small husincts sectors will see its livelihood invaded and crushed by a tubus, inter- ventionist government. "Thu policy decision sends out a dis- tinct and negative message that any husincss in Ontario may be at risk of effective cxpropri- aton by their own government. Here and There $140.000 Operating Grant The Housing Development Resource Centre will receive $140,000 operating grant, Housing Minister Evelyn Gigantes has announced.

Statfacts... Canadians visiting the United States tend to be drawn to the states which are closest to our largest urban centres. The most popular region was the Middle Atlantic states which include New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, followed by the Pacific Region and the New England states.

McLaughlin Family Donates $500,000 To Property The R. Samuel McLaughlin Foundation and Mrs. John Pangman, a daughter of the late (Col- onel) R S. McLaughlin, have daaated more than half a million dollars to The Conservation Foundation of Greater Toronto toward the parchase of the Walker property to ensure it re- mains; mains a scenic, healthy resource area. In June 1991, The Metropolitan Taranto and Region Conservation Authority purchased one of the most environmentally signiCMcant properties in its 9D years of operations - the James Walker property - comprisirg more than 1,060 acres in the Township of Uxbridge Its purchase was a major step in the Authori- ty's Greerspace Strategy for the acquisition and Preservation of conserva- tion lands in the Oak Ridges Moraine Complex. a particular y had nce to the late ( Colonel) R. S. McLaughlin and Itis fami- ly. Col. McLaughlin was a founding member of the Glen Major Fishing Club, which borders on the happy hours rs wrtee yrMany spent there. Now Mrs. Pangman, together with The R. Samuel McLaughlin Foust - dation, has donated more than half a million dollars to the Conservation Foun- News From Ottawa from Derek Lee MP Scarborough -Rouge River Credit cardholders are paying too much interest! Despite a unanimous recommendation from an all -party House of Comrnoas committee that blanks and department stores kpwr their rates on credit cards, cardholders con- brroe to pay exorbitantly high interest on their personal debts. Two years ago, a House of Commons Cosumher and Cor- porate Affairs Committee called for a ceiling on interest rates -8 percent above the prime rate for banks. and 12 per- cent for department stores. Since the Cormttee has no legal dont, it asked the Government to enforce its recommenda- tions. But the Government has left it up to the banks and retailers to regulate themselves. Predictably, credit cardholders are being hit hard by the rates being charged by financial institutions and retailers. Major banks and trust companies charge nearly 20 percent interest compared to a prime lending rate of only 8.5 per- cent. Department stones that offer their own credit cards charge up to 30 percent interest. Worse still, if you can afford only partial credit-card payments, you are further penalized by being charged in- terest from date of purchase. However, clients who can af- ford to pay in full get a seven -week grace period. For example, if you had a bill of 5800 and could only af- ford to pay $400, you would still be charged interest on $800 from the time your purchases were made. If you made no purchases the following month and paid off $400 minus $1, you would still pay interest on $400 plus whatever had ac- cumulated. If you had paid the full $800 you would have had no interest to pay. The committee urged financial institutions not to charge interest on partial repayment by credit cardholders within this grace period. However, these pleas have fallen on deaf ears. One possible alternative for consumers faced with these very high credit card rates is to negotiate a small loan or credit line with a financial institution and pay off the credit card indebtedness using this new card facility. This, coupl- ed with prudent credit card use, would free some con- sumers from these very high interest rates. Not all con- sumers would be able to acquire such new credit. Banks have failed miserably in acting on the Committee's earlier recommendations. The Government is also to blame for not requiring banks to implement them. Voluntary self-regulation is clearly not working and those suffering are the ones who can least afford it. We don't need more hearings. What we next is action. dation. James Walker began to bury land in the Glen Major area in 1947. He diligently acquired barren land and remnants of w odlots and Writers In Libraries Program Library users, aspring Wild emerging writers, and other lovers of literature will enjoy the benefits of a newly revised Writers -in - Libraries Program. says Karen Hallam, Ontario minister of Culture and Coahmu rn atioLs. Under the program, senior writers are hired by libraries to offer proles sional assistance to emet - ing local writers. ..Our goal is to encourage and develop literary activi- ty at the grass roots level. - said Minister Haslam. ."Inns is particularly im- portant to developing talent in smaller com- munities... Under revised program guidelines, public and First Nations libraries in com- munities with populations under 5,000 are eligible for 90% provincial funding. Larger communities can apply for 75% funding. The program places establish- ed writers in libraries across Ontario for periods of six to 12 months. The maximum grant is $50,000, up from $30,00o. The ministry recognizes the need for senior writers to work on current manuscripts while par- ticipating in the program. Half of each residency is to be spent on personal pro- jects. The rest of the writer's time is given to reviewing manuscripts, organizing lectures, scheduling readings and of- fering advice to emerging talent. The program has brought more than 60 writers into libraries across Ontario since the program began in 1966. To participate, writers must have published substantial works in English or French in fiction, non-fiction, poetry, drama or in periodicals. Brag That You Are A Canadian began planting trees. At the rate of over 100,000 trees per year, Mr. Walker is reputed to have planted more trees than any other private citizen in Ontario. Today. with roiling hills and long, deep valleys covered with a dense forest of red pines, maples and oaks, the Walker property is one of the premier managed forest operations in southern Ontario. The heavily forested property is estimated to contain some two million trees. Wed.

Today, she is a role model for thousands of others who share her disability. The Association of Pro- fessional Engineers (APED) of Ontario award- ed Kathryn Woodcock, P. Eng., its Professional Engineers Citizenship Award Nov. 2 for her suc- cessful efforts to improve the life of the deaf and hard of hearing at a Toronto din- ner. Kathryn Woodcock is pnesident of the Canadian Nearing Society, a charitable organization Serving the deaf and hard V� of hearing, and is the first deaf person ever elected to that position. She is also a founding member of the Canadian Deafened Per- sons Association, and a doctoral candidate in in- dustrial engineering at the University of Toronto. As a member of the Ac- cess 2000 Committee and its Public Places Subcom- mittee, which promotes practical solutions to achieve accessibility to public places, she is cam- paigning to require hotels to provide visible fire alarms to protect guests who are deaf and hard of hearing. She is also on the Ontario Minister of Health's Ad- visory Committee on Hear- ing Aid Services, and member of Bell Canada's Consumer Advisory Panel. Kathryn offers a special perspective on Bell ser- vices, which she regularly rises. The Bell Canada Relay Service links a deaf person via computer with an operator, who instantly relays typed messages and conversations over the telephone to any hearing person who does not have TTY -keyboard telephone equipment. "People forget that it is a service for hear- ing people as well as for the deaf. " Kathryn Woodcock's ac- complishments as an engineer in the health care industry are numerous. As Vice -President of Hospital Services, Centenary Hospital in Scarborough she had operational and budgetary responsibility for engineering and sup- port services.

A special e xhi bi t by Toronto -area culinary college students will be featured on the opening day of the show.

"For the first time ever. we are inciting the public to see first-hand an extensive ofispiay of original food creations by some of the best-known chefs in North America and meet some of them face-to-face.- About ace-to-face."About 200 top ' 1 h from across Canada and the United States will par- ticipate, competing for the fust -place spots an each of the five days of the Metro Hoorne Show.

Judging will take Place behind the scenes each morning before the sho,w doors open. Open to all chefs and cooks, the National Culinary Arts Salon is the Escoffier Society's most significant competition. The Salon traditionally has been a one -day event. held every few years. This year marks the 12th time this competition is taking p th more than 125.000 visitors expected to attend the Metro Home Show, Wagner said the venue was a prime choice for the Na- tional Culinary Arts Salon. " fhe Metro Hoare Show provides tis with an oppor- tunity to introduce to the Looking to our Future: Don't Waste It! The date is many years in the future. The place" The ruins of a great -Nkh century city. You're part of a team of scientists ex- cavating the ruins. "What were these people like"** you wonder. One of the best places to go for an answer would be the dump. That's right. the dump. What people throw out and how they dispose of their garbage has always been a great indica- tor of a society's lifestyles, behaviours, and values. Our ancestors threw out very little. Everything was used, often repaired and used again. The concept of 'disposable' or "throw away" products and packaging did ria exist. Today, however, our throw away lifestyles have finally begun to catch up with us. We're running out of room for our garbage. A look through it reveals how much waste has changed and will continue to change over the next few de- cades. Metal cans, glass bottles and jars, packaging, food scraps, old appliances, mountains of paper, plastic containers, leaves. news- papers, grass clippings — all these materials used to be con- sidered garbage. Now they have become opportunities to man- age waste in other ways The Three R's — reduction. reuse and recycling — together with composting, material re- covery, incineration, and land- fill are all modern methods of dealing with waste. The Three R's: Challenge of the 90s Reduce, reuse and recycle have become the challenge of the 90s. Reduce and reuse mean changing our buying and disposal habits so we reduce the 0*MENc�t- ''�l A5l Oy amount of waste we produce, and reuse or find new uses for items that we already have. Reade means using waste materials to replace all or part of a virgin material in a manu- facturing process. Glass books and jars, metal cans, plastic bot- tles and jugs. newspapers and corrugated cardboard are all routinely recycled and therefore kept out of landfill ares - Composting is the ancient practice of combining decom- posing organic materials to pro- duce humus. Composting no only enriches and condit;ons the soil, but can divert tonnes of food and plant waste from land- fill sites. It is estimated that up to one third of household waste could be composted either in your backyard, or in centralized composting facilities. Material recovery facilities reclaim rec%clable materials once they ha%c been thrown out. Waste is sorted mechanically or by hard according to size and weight at sorting facilities and the recovered materials are sent for recycling. Materials recov- Bred may include a refuse -de- rived fuel that can be used as an energy source. Landfill is an engineered method of spreading wastes in thin layers, compacting the wastes to the smallest practical volume, and covering them with soil at the end of each day. Care is taken to control mois- ture, leachate and gas produc- tion. Incineration, called Energy From Waste (EFW) Incinera- tion, produces electricity by burning slid waste. Various technologies are used to control the gaseous emissions and the rewhmg ash is sent to landfill. Manama `tetra's Garbage alar 2.0 to 40 Years These optional methods arc being combined in different proportions to create alternative waste management systems in a new bug -range plan being de- veloped for Metropolitan To- ronso. The planning process, called SWEAP (Solid Waste Environmental Assessment Plant, has a mandate to effec- tively manage Metro's waste for the next 20 to 80 years. The goal is to move from a landfill -based system to one that follows the steps of reduc- tion. reuse and recycling before disposal is considered. But these will require new practices and new facilities. The leftovers will still have to be landfdkd and could possibly be inciner- ated. landfill and incineration should only be a last resort until we can achieve a waste free society. What Do Von Think:' You can help determine which options are included in the plan and what will happen to Metro's garbage. How much can realistically be recycled? Is large-scale composting feasi- ble:' Are you willing to change you habits to substantially re- duce the waste you produce:' We need your input and an- swers to these questions and more. Call us to receive a copy of the plan, or to find out when public information forums will be held in your area. Centuries from now, when our decendants try to find out something about us, let us hope that they don't discover a soci- ety that slowly got buried under its own garbage.

The famm- ing films have been selected to make up the balance of the festival; Robin Hood Prince of Thieves, Terminator II, Top Gun, Backdraft, Apocalyse Now, The Doors, Godfather III, Rocketeer, Edward Scissorhands, Lawrence of Arabia, Spar - tacks and Amadeus. We should add that Spar- tacus and Lawrence of Arabia are on brand new and completely enhanced film stock. Incredible clan- ty All seating is reserved and there is abundant park- ing on the park ground. As of this writing. we don't know if the parking is free but it seems to us that it should be. What ever, the festival offers a good selection of entertainment for a dreary winter Enjoy. IN PRINT: Talk about sem>dipity! We had just selected Rush from our review shelf and were enjoying it muchly W hen we realised that the motion picture version of it was just beginning its We haven't as yet seen it and are not at all sure that we wish to see it. Rush is not the sort of book, it seems to us, that lends itself easily to visualization unless one is seeking simp- ly another action movie and Rush deserves con- siderably more than that. Written by Kim Wozen- craft and published by Random House, Rush is the story of undercover nar- cotics investigation. That aspect of it alone, is drill- ing What's even more chill- ing is its revelation of Dolitical ambition within aw enforcement agencies, an ambition that leads in- evitably to corruption. Just another inside cop novel you say? Well maybe, but young Ms. Woaencraft is a former undercover narcotics agent and Rush teems with authenticity. One has always known that the good of boy law en- forcement agencies of the State of Texas are, at best. suspect. After reading Rush, one would almost be afraid to rush an amber traffic light there. So, why do we find it dif- ficult to imagine a motion picture of it? Well, taken as the authoress intends it to be taken. there is little ac- tion. Rush is actually a psychological study of what it means to be an undercover agent. One must become one of „there" and that includes taking drugs. Some officers can come out of it relative- ly dean; most cannot. To present such a message on screesn could be turgid. We're not saying don't see the movie; we say merely that it should be seen atter you've read the book.

ON RECORD: Speaking of movies- migawd but we're original, one understands that For The Boys is on its way to Tube City. (Read box office failure and video release in six months.) That's a pity because it's a good film made even bet- ter by its sound track. We've had the opportunity to listen to it and are knock- ed out by it. Among other delights there are a close harmony version of Hoagy Carmichael's Billy -A -Dick and a poignant rendition by Bette Midler of Come Rain Or Come Slane that's right up there with the definitive version by the late Dick Haymes. For lovers of straight in- strumentals there's a fine reading of Vickie and Mr. Valves featuring some great driving trumpet by Jack Sheldon ending in a sustained high note with not a trace of quaver. Anyone listening to this album will mom certainly want to see the motion pic- ture. One wonders why it wasn't released in advance of the film instead of after. Could it bethat the Atlantic label is part of the Warner Brothers conglomerate and For The Boys is a Twen- tieth Century Fox release? :Yaw, that's not possible. Or is it, For more fine trumpet work, try Bobby Heriot Band -Denting at the Im- perial Room. The grand old supper dub is not dead despite continuing rumours to the there ;s � ate' of star headliners there is still dancing and Bobby Herriot heads up the house bend. It's a tight knit, well disciplined group that plays music for dancing. Remember dancing? There are only eight rhe _, P b but the versatib- ty of each makes the band seen lager. Fact is, the liner notes with the album are stingy and we suspect augmen- ting on some of the cuts but if we're wrong, it's a tribute to the fine sound that Bobby Herriot gets out of the aggregation. Apart from a too busy presentation of Take Me Out to the Ball Game all the arrangements and or- chestrations are just first rate. Those same stingy liner notes don't say who the arrangements are by but it seems to us that they're too good to be just book arrangments, par- ticularly Your Secret's Safe With Me which has a FAIRVIEW LIBRARY THEATRE 35 Fafrvlew Mall Oreve.

Shaw's "Major Bar- bara" one of the most pro- vocative rovocative and timeless com- Martin Denny sound in its introductory passages. Check out the tinkly cocktail piano an East of the Sun as well. Carrying all of them is the strong though unob- trusive trumpet of leader man Herriot. Ride with it on Caravan which is played as a samba. Good album. More please. Placido Domingo's The Broadway I Love ( East, West) is not correct- ly titled. Our Love is Here to Stay is from the Goldwyn Follies which was a motion picture starring, if we remember correctly, Ken- ny Baker. Anyway, this album of popular "Broad- way" tunes is not the suc- cess one might have ex- pected. The problem is that the material here, with one exception, is just too thin for a singer with the power of Mr. Domingo. Even holding back, as he is so obviously doing here, he quite overpowers the songs, even The Last Night of the World from Miss Saigon. The one exception .is So In Love from Kiss Me Kate. The late Cole Porter's compositions are so ingenious that they are equally well served by both edies. Set in the Edwardian era it deals with the sub. jects that were closer to Shaw's heart - capitalism and the cmiditiors of the working poor. It was also an early vehicle for women's rights.

Here Mr. D. comes into his own as his rich voice enhances the simple drama of the lyrics. It's a good enough album but, we believe, ill conceiv- ed. Broadway show songs require a particular type of singer to be heard at their best. Mr. Domingo, admit- tedly one of the world's finest, is simply not one of the type. Neither was the late Ezio Pinza regardless of his success in South Pacific. The local production of Phantom of the Opera at The Pantages stars Colm Wilkinson in the title role. He was the first choice for the original London pro- duction but could not ac- cept because he was ap- pearing as Jan Val Jean in the original production of Les Miserables. So the role was won by Michael Crawford. The latter's sweetly dramatic and dramatically sweet voice is heard to ex- cellent advantage on Michael Crawford Per- forms Andrew Lloyd Web- ber (Atlantic). Here he sings three selec- tions from The Phantom as well as offerings from Joseph and His Technicolor Dreamcoat, Evita, Tell Me Don Mills ltd. For ticket information and reservations call ?22-S284.

And, this seems as good a place as any to point out that the gentleman with the lead role in the present pro- duction of Aspects is Keith Michell. three times in our review of Aspects of Love we said Michell; three times it was "corrected" to Mitchell.

The Beef Wotmation Ceritre has developed a new commoner booklet, Ea. joy Beef the Lew -Fat Way, designed for Canadians interested in reducing their fat Intake while enjoying the great taste of beef. The Heartand Strokc Foundation of Canada and the Canadian Cancer Society have re- viewed the content of the booklet Each recipe has been analyzed by NutriProfile and meets the "Heart Smart" program guidelines Of the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada, as well as the guide- lines of the Canadian Can- cer Society. "Bothorganizations have beenvery helpful withtheir review comments, -says nu- trition specialist Corinne Dawley, Consumer Educa- tion Co-ordinalor for the Beef Information Centre. "The resulting booklet is an excellent counselling tool for health professionals and a resource for teaching low- fat cooking." Dawley, re- sponsible for the develop- ment of the booklet, reports that it has been well re- ceived by doctors, dietitians and health professionals. Positive response to the booklet has exceeded ex- pectations. The booklet's popularity does not surprise Eleanor Nielsen, Director of Public Education, Canadian Can- cer Society. "The booklet supports the Guidelines for Healthy Eating," Nielsen explains. "Canadians need reinforcement of this mes- sage. Every piece of infor- mation available to con- sumers increases the likeli- hood of improved dietary habits." Carol Dombrow, Nutri- tion Consultant, Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada, sees the booklet r. So simple w p'L';.:r�, rues ,Marinated Flunk Steak i,, equally good hot or cold with its practical tips and recipes as a teaching re- source. According to Dombrow, the booklet will be used in some provinces by the instructors of the "Heart Smart" cooking classes. Enjoy Beef the Low -Fat Way booklet puts to rest the myth that low-fat, healthy eating is boring or lacking in flavour. Each recipe has nutrient information (calo- ries, fat, protein, sodium and potassium) as well asprepa- ration and cooking times. Meal accompaniments are suggested with each recipe to help consumers under- stand that good eating re- quires a variety of foods with a balance of nutrients. In addition to a variety of recipes, this 16 -page, full colour booklet provides useful information on how to select, prepare and cook beef the low-fat way. To help consumers choose leaner cuts of meat, the booklet coma ins an easy to read chart, listing the fat content of beef cuts. All cuts of Canadian beef, with the exception of short nibs, qualify as lean when trimmed of visible fat. In order to be classified as "lean", cuts must contain no more than 10% fat on a raw basis. The leanest cut of all is inside (top) round with only 2.196 fat Enjoy Beef the Low -Fat Way booklet is available free -of -charge by sending your name and address to the Beef Information Cen- tre, 590 Keele Street, Suite 422, Toronto, Ontario, M6N 3E3.

The Beef Wotmation Ceritre has developed a new commoner booklet, Ea. joy Beef the Lew -Fat Way, designed for Canadians interested in reducing their fat Intake while enjoying the great taste of beef. The Heartand Strokc Foundation of Canada and the Canadian Cancer Society have re- viewed the content of the booklet Each recipe has been analyzed by NutriProfile and meets the "Heart Smart" program guidelines Of the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada, as well as the guide- lines of the Canadian Can- cer Society. "Bothorganizations have beenvery helpful withtheir review comments, -says nu- trition specialist Corinne Dawley, Consumer Educa- tion Co-ordinalor for the Beef Information Centre. "The resulting booklet is an excellent counselling tool for health professionals and a resource for teaching low- fat cooking." Dawley, re- sponsible for the develop- ment of the booklet, reports that it has been well re- ceived by doctors, dietitians and health professionals. Positive response to the booklet has exceeded ex- pectations. The booklet's popularity does not surprise Eleanor Nielsen, Director of Public Education, Canadian Can- cer Society. "The booklet supports the Guidelines for Healthy Eating," Nielsen explains. "Canadians need reinforcement of this mes- sage. Every piece of infor- mation available to con- sumers increases the likeli- hood of improved dietary habits." Carol Dombrow, Nutri- tion Consultant, Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada, sees the booklet r. So simple w p'L';.:r�, rues ,Marinated Flunk Steak i,, equally good hot or cold with its practical tips and recipes as a teaching re- source. According to Dombrow, the booklet will be used in some provinces by the instructors of the "Heart Smart" cooking classes. Enjoy Beef the Low -Fat Way booklet puts to rest the myth that low-fat, healthy eating is boring or lacking in flavour. Each recipe has nutrient information (calo- ries, fat, protein, sodium and potassium) as well asprepa- ration and cooking times. Meal accompaniments are suggested with each recipe to help consumers under- stand that good eating re- quires a variety of foods with a balance of nutrients. In addition to a variety of recipes, this 16 -page, full colour booklet provides useful information on how to select, prepare and cook beef the low-fat way. To help consumers choose leaner cuts of meat, the booklet coma ins an easy to read chart, listing the fat content of beef cuts. All cuts of Canadian beef, with the exception of short nibs, qualify as lean when trimmed of visible fat. In order to be classified as "lean", cuts must contain no more than 10% fat on a raw basis. The leanest cut of all is inside (top) round with only 2.196 fat Enjoy Beef the Low -Fat Way booklet is available free -of -charge by sending your name and address to the Beef Information Cen- tre, 590 Keele Street, Suite 422, Toronto, Ontario, M6N 3E3.

I am looking forward to the many challenges that are ahead for Metropolitan Toronto in 1992, and would like to offer some background information on some of the Metro Committees and Boards that I will be serving on this term. Firstly, I have once again been appointed as the Deputy Metro Chairman. My duties will be to represent Metropolitan Toronto and the Metro Chairman at various meetings and functions that he will not be able to personally attend. I will also be chairing the Metro Council meetings in his absence. Also, I have again been appointed to the Metro Parks, Recreation and Property Committee which is responsible for considering and reporting on all matters relating to parks, recreation areas and property, and such matters as may be referred to it by Metro Council. I am also a member this term of the Metro Transportation Committee which is responsible for considering and reporting on all matters relating to transportation within the Metropolitan Toronto area. As well as these two Standing Committees of Metro Cann- cil, I am once again a member of the Board of Management for the O'Keefe Centre for the Performing Arts. These duties entail the management of the centre in providing a variety of superior entertainment of local. stational and in- ternatioml origin which appeals to a diversity of audiences. I am also involved in the extensive renovations being pro- posed for this 3,223 -seat multi-purpose theatre that is a ma- jor reason that Toronto is the third largest English- langauge theatre centre in the world. Also, as Member of the Board of Governors for the Cana- dian National Exhibition and 2nd Vice -Pt dent of the Canadian National Exhibition Association, I will be involv- ed in the management and operation of Exhibition Place. The board's responsibilities include maximizing the facib- ty's use and revenues from the various events and activities winch are held throughout the yew, and preserving the ar- chitecturally and historically significant structures on the grounds. We will be looking closely at the future Lees of Ex- hibitiat Place and will be involved in the evaluation of dif- ferent proposals which include a multi-purpose Trade Cen- tre, improved public accessibility. year-round use and ac- tivities, image. tourists and economic development to name a few. I hope I have been helpful in outlining my responsibilities an these committees and boards of management for Nletro Council.

Of those that do not have a pro - grain, bowever. an overwhelm- ing 97% said they would partic- tpate if a program was imple- mented_ The poll also looked into rea- sons why offices do not have recycling programs. Twenty- bw per cent of those polled said they do not have a program because they did not have enough information to Set started.

Serving the Community Since 1950 Pierre travel Berton On ..._,_____ To Friendly _ .. Cruise Welcome The Friendly Island Of Grenada by Jerry Hudson Grenada, West Indies - "Welcome to my country! ", the skycap at Point Salines International Airport exclaimed. And that was indeed a most refreshing introduction to the friendly island of Grenada. Southernmost of the Windward islands in the Caribbean, this 120 square - mile country really con- sists of three islands. Car- riacou and Petit Martinique to the north, and the main island of Grenada itself. Known as "The Isle of Spice' Grenada is second in the world in spice pro- duction. Some 110,000 people live in these mountainous. green islands, enjoying an average temperature of SVF. While the sun shines in the ''dry" season bet- ween January and May, the ..rainy.. season the rest of the year usually only has rain for short periods. The sky -cap's friendliness was just a glimpse of the genuine and gentle people inhabiting Grenada. At a restaurant, seeking to get the order right. a young waitress returned to the table apologizing. "My head not functioning properly. Were your eggs sunny-side up or over-easy7" Remarkable candor but quite common throeghout Grenada. The official language of the country is English, although "patois" can still be heard throughout the land. The currency is the Eastern Caribbean dollar. currently valued at EC 12.14 per Canadian dollar. US funds are readily ac- cepted ( and highly desired) by Grenadta ns but it's best to exchange Cana- dian dollars for EC dollars at any book. Most of the population is around the capital, St. Georges, situated on twin harbours in the southwest part of the island. The horseshoe -shaped Carenage Bay is in the epicentre of the town, and is used by schooners and ocean lines alike. Here is the main centre of com- merce with duty-free shops, banks, super- markets and all types of retail outlets. Southern Grenada is well-developed and still building.

OM.L1c.31587ft "Complete Travel Service" to aN destbuft s Danforth Rd.b Midland Av. 265.6682 presents no problems, but the east coast roads are presently being resurfaced and make for slow going. A tour of the island is definitely worthwhile, either in a rental -car ( drive on the left) or by chauf- feured tour. For the former, try David's Car Rentals for good rates, and for the latter Henry's Safari Tours will ensure a detailed and interesting adventure. From St. Georges going up the west coast you will reach the fishing town of Gouyave, a natural spot to nest and enjoy a Carib. Grenada's favorite lager beer. Continuing north, the town of Sauteurs is notable for Carib's Leap, a steep Cliff where the fierce Carib Indiarns committed suicide rather than submit to the French in 1651. To get the full history of Grenada, visit Michael Jessamy in the National Museum located on Young St. in St. Georges. A wealth of information, Michael relates haw the first set- tlers of the island were the Ciboneys. Following them, the peaceful Arawaks sail- ed over from Venezuela and held forth until the warlike Canbs took over after that. Colurnbus encountered, ( not —discovered") Grenada on his third voyage in 14M and the first white men to attempt to settle were English mer chants in 1609, and the French in 1630., but both were forced away by the Caribs. The first successful settlement was achieved by the French in 1650, and many French place names survive to this day. England was granted the island in 1733 by the Treaty of Versailles, and it ruled until Grenada's full in- dependence in 1974. History buffs will want to visit the library, close by the museuun. Just south of Sauteurs at Maine Fendue resides Bet- ty Mascdl, a legend in Grenada. Betty serves great buffet lunches din- ners. and will accept over- night guests if reservations have been made. You could easily spend hays convers- ing with Mrs. Mascot!, and get a feel for the history of Grenada. On the north-east coast is Bathway. a great place to swim and laze about on a white, sandy beach. The sea is a little rough here, but the beach is protected by a natural reef for most of its length. Further down the east coast lies the small town of Grenville, especial- ly good for a market day stop on any Saturday. It is not necessary to stick to the coastal roads. Some of the best scenery can be found at Grand Etang, Grenada's forest preserve which rises to 2300 feet. There are good, albeit steep and winding roads into the interior, and the journey is well worth Following last year's successful "Cruise for Heart", the Heart and Stroke Foundation has an- nounced that distinguished author and historian Pierre Berton has accepted an in- vitation to host this year's ten day cruise. On board Holland America's Ms. "Noordam", guests will cruise a variety of destina- tions in the Southern Carib- bean. "This is not only a wonderful opportunity to combine a relaxing vaca- tion with the stimulation of Mr. Berton's commentary, but a great way to con- tribute in the fight against heart disease and stroke," comments Robert Luba. volunteer President of the Foundation, "since a dona- tion of $200 will be made for every full -fare booked through the foundation.

Stunning flam- boyant trees arid bougain- villea bushes abound. abiane with colar. There are nature trails for hiking and a crater -lake in an ex- tinct volcano. Most of Grenada's action is in the south, on Grande Anse Beach below St. Georges. and the point of Lance aux Epines jutting into the sea. Grande Anse is two miles of powdery soft sand wash- ed by crystal clear and warm waters, and is rated one of the ten best beaches in the world. There are first class hotels along the beach set back from the water. but by law none are higher than the tallest coconut tree, to preserve the esthetics of the area. Lance aux Epines (pro- nounced pro- nounced "lansapeen") has several boteis, and Prickly. Bay on the west flank of that spit of lard has a beautiful white sand beach. Hotels range from the in- expensive but adequate to the luxurious. Tim Brathwaite's Lance aux Epines Cottages offers self- contained units on Prickly Bay beach at very reasonable rates. Four new and spacious apartments have recently been built. Slightly up price from that is Jacqub and Russell Antoine's Hibiscus Hotel on Mourne Rouge, a two minute walk from Grand Anse. This property offers twin cottages, a restaurant and a bar. Climbing to the luxurious (and more expensive) is the Ramada Renaissance located right on Grand Anse, with every amenity imaginable. There is a cluster of boutiques at the Ramada, and across the street is the Grand Anse shopping centre. The top hotel has to be Secret Harbour on Mt. Hartman Bay on the east side o(L.ance aux Epines. It II a .., A6 Blue Mountain, Ontano s largest ski resort, the Blue premier, four season Mountain Slide Rides, the resort. comprises Ontano's Five Star Blue Mountain hat•: ... ..............................................• --...:f. features two antique dou- ble beds bordered by brickwork and huge modern bathrooms in all 20 units. Restaurants also rum the gamut from itnexpernsive to top dollar. For a great view of the Carenage and wholesome, inexpensive food the Nutmeg Restaurant is a bargain. Almost any type of food is available at Grenadian restaurants. although most offer typical West Indian or continental fare. There are a few specialty restaurants, and you can get Italian food. Chinese food, even pizza. Tops for food and value is the Canboulay Restaurant, high on Morne Range with a magnificent view of St. Georges and Grand Anse. Gina and Erik Johnson combed the world for recipes, and vary their menu depending on the freshness and availability of produce on the island. Further afield, Mike Meranski's La Sagesse Nature Centre serves superb lobster with garlic butter. It also has a guest house and bar. La Sagesse is on the southeasterly coast, easily reachable by car or taxi. Most activities centre around the sea, with swim- ming, boating, wind surf- ing, snorkelling, fishing and scuba diving being the natural past -times. There is also tennis at some ma- jor hotels, and yacht charters are available at both The Boatyard Marina near the tip of Lance aux Epines, or from Club Mariner at Secret Harbour. The island of Carriacou to the north is an area of treacherous currents and reefs especially around the aptly named Kick -Em - Jerry island. Located near here is the Caribbean's ow ly active underwater volcano. If you reach Carriacou and happen to hear a loud Maxon while on the road, get off! The road is the air- port. and the alarm signals that a plane is either Lan- ding or taking off. Car- riacou is noted for its hand - built sailing ships. As for costs in Grenada, compare the prices to Toronto's but slightly higher. Most commodities are imported, and so costs must reflect the expense of shipment. Virtually all hotels and restaurants im- pose a 10% service charge. and there is an 8% govern- ment tax on almost everything. Tipping over and above the service charge is cer- tainly appreciated, but not expected. ( The Canboulay Restaurant is a rare one which does not impose a service charge, but rather states, "Service is left to the discretion of the guest - a nice touch.) Grenada is a safe coun- try, crime is rare, and the police carry no guns, only batons, so a sense of securi- ty prevails. The only "rob- bery" which is likely to take place is when you are speaking in terms of EC dollars, but the mer- chant cab driver means US dollars, and that is not defined beforehand. Be aware! To reach Grenada, the most direct route from Toronto is by Canada 3000. BWIA also flies there. with a brief stopu%er in St. Inn, a Resort Village Development, the 18 hole Montero Golf Course. the a court Monnterra Dome and most recently the Montero Pavilion. Lucia. Air Canada does not ( as yet) fly into Grenada, but does go to Barbados where connecting flights via LIAT are frequent. American Airlines con- nects from its hub in Puer- to Rico. When leaving Grenada an airport depar- ture tax of EC S25 is levied on each person. To obtain the latest prices and more informa- tion than can be described here. the Grenada Tourist Office distributes free brochures. A complimen- tary magazine called "The Greeting Tourist Guide" which contains everything you could possibly wish to know about this beautiful country is available in Grenada.

While it would be unrealistic at this point to assume that these meetings will cure everything that ails the current economy, it is a good omen that the first ministers are setting aside their political differences and worming together on proposals that will hopefully provide a much-needed shot -in -the -arm to the .current econotnic situation. The meetings got off to a good start as the mimsters agreed to study measmires to strengthen the economy and to meet again in February. The tone of the early meetings has been squabble -free, and there has also been a prevalent at- titude among the ministers that the meetings have been productive and positive. In fact, a dozen proposals aimed at stimulating the economy have been brought forth by the ministers. These will be studied in detail by various finance ministers at their meeting scheduled for Jan. 30 in Quebec City. The proposals include perrnittmg taxpayers to use RRSP funds to buy homes and the acceleration of carMructim projects and other capital expenditures by government - There has also been a consensus that a priority that must corse out of the meetings is to help the country's unemployed - Perhaps what makes these meetings most promising are the current statistics that indicate progress is being made in reducing inflation and interest rates, and also that expec- tation that Canada will lead industrialised countries in growth next year. Admittedly. there is still a long road ahead for economic recovery and it has barriers, such as the current weakness Of the economy in the United States. But so far, these meetings have illustrated exactly what will be necessary to lead Canada back to prosperity - a cooperative dist on behalf of leaders at all levels of government tothe policies that will instigate the wheels of the economy to start turning once again. Isn't this a great way to stat the new year - cooperation between governments_ Let's hope it contirwes. and Happy New Year.
