The average weekday commuter spent 49 minutes travelling, according to Statistics Canada. Those commuting on Saturday averaged 46 minutes on the road but Sunday commuters averaged just 38 minutes.

For example, just 31% of people in rural areas commuted on a typical day compared to 40% of all people in urban centres, Statistic, Canada figures stowed. Time spent commuting averaged 40 minutes for rural dwellers. 43 minutes for those in small urban centres and 53 minutes for those in metropolitan areas.

The plantings will take place at Glenn Stewart Ravine in the Beaches, starting at 10 a.m. on Sat. Apr. 25th. Everyone is welcome - children, adults and grand- parents! This successful event attracted hundreds of par- ticipants last year, eager to help the environment and the community. All you need are casual clothing, garden gloves, a shovel and pail for watering, and lots of en- thusiasm. Another wonderful Earth Day event, occurring in another part of town, is the "Walk With Earth" walkathon from City Hall to Queen's Park, on Sun. Apr. 26th, starting at 12 noon. This event, organized by a coalition of non-profit and `or community-based environment groups, will feature an in- formation fair with music, and a speech from renowned en- vironmentalist, David Suzuki. The event. as well as being an educational awareness raising project, is an opportunity for smaller non-profit en- vironmental groups to raise funds. Schools are invited to participate in the walk, with half of their sponsored pro- ceeds to aid the environmental work of these groups. The other half can be used for environmental work within the school community. Both events promise to be fun: Plan on attending one or both.

New Planning In Ontario Commissioners John Sewell, Toby Vigod and George Penfoild have released a first draft of a new• framework for planning in Ontario. A reformed planning system should result in more time- ly decisiots. a better use of planning resources. improved opportunity for public involvement and better protection of the natural environment," said John Sewell, Chairman of the Commission on Planning and Developnnent Reform in Ontario. To achieve these objectives the commission is suggesting a new arrangement between the province and m unodpalities that will clarify riles and reduce duplica- tion. "For exariple " said Commissioner George Pen fold, "we have been told repeatedly in public forums and working groups that the province should leave pian approval and deveMpmnent applications to municipalities. Instead. and it's lorug overdue. the province should act as policy maker and strategic plata er•'. he added. "It should set goals and policies around the natural en- yironment, energy. heritage and settlement patterns and ensure these are impkniented locally,." he explained '•Currently environmental concerns are often an 'add on' to the approval process," Commissioner Toby Viigod said. "We are suggesting clear environmental goals to replace the patchwork approach... She added. ' fTee concern for the environment and the high cont of suburban sprawl has led us to put forward the suggestion of greater intensification and compactness for new development." The commissioners estimate that they have met with over 10,000 people and received more than 400 written sub- missions ummissions in the process of consWting the people of Ontario on needed changes to the Planning Act. The commissioners also released a second draft of the goals, revised in response to public feedback. one of the most controversial goals pertaining to septic tanks has been revised to reflect rncerns about the effective opera- tion of the systems. The commissioners support research and development to find new technologies that are more en- vironmentalh• safe. However. they recognize that conven- tional septic systems can be used where they do not con- taminate water quality and are properly managed. The second round of public forums where individuals and groups are welcome to respond to the draft suggestion begins May 26. People are asked to call 1-8W267-4317 to ar- range to make a presentation. Written submissions are always welcome. Forums will be held in North York on June 1st and in Toronto on June 2nd. You Feel Canadian....

Shawl" is a classic story of the wrenching struggle for a better life in the backyards of the Carib- bean. Set in Trinidad of the 1950's, the play is a sometimes funny but haun- ting tale of the hopes and dreams which drive people to emigrate from their homes to a new country. Director Marvin Ishmael describes the production: "Lt is a particularly good play for anyone who has been corn by the decision to emigrate. It clearly speaks to immigrants today as it deals with relationships, dreams, aaspirations and the reality we face in the pursuit of these." A joint production by Focus and We Are One Theatre Company, this pro- duction offers a unique op- portunity to many talented young people of multi- cultural backgrounds to work in a professional theatre setting on a play that speaks directly to their own family experiences.

April 22. 1992 THE NEWS, POST Page S Metro Council News from Ken Morrish COUnCOW Sfllrborough Highbnd Creak After two years Metro Councillor Ken Morrish says thanks to all those who actively supported his effort to get 4040 Lawrence Ave. E police sub station re -opened. With the appointment of Inspector Beal this week to head up the police staff at 4040 Lawrence Ave. E., we can safely say that the building is officially open. I would like to thank the 6,000 plus residents of Scar- borough Highland Creek who helped me bring this about by signing petitions, who made hundreds of phone calls to their local politicians and in so doing demonstrated that people power does work. And for Councillor Ron Moeser's work at Council. With the rapid growth in population in Scarborough dta- ing recent years we have seen a great increase in house break-ins, car thefts and crimes of violence. For the above reasons I have always supported a com- munity based police fare especially since several com- munity associations have been formed recently, especially to combat crime in their areas in co-operation with our local police force. Several of the community action groups working with the local police have already noted a decline of crime in their area. Mr. Morrish also noted "that when neighbours make friends with their neighbours and get involved in caring for their communities - crime and other associated problems generally decline." If you would like any information about how you can be involved with a comimtutity association in your area please call Metro Councillor Ken Mor'rish's office at 392-40b5.

April 22, 1992 -Bill Watt's Worlds AT THE OPERA: Falstaff is the most recurrent of Shakespeare's characters because he comes closest to the dream of everyday man. He is not handsome of face nor, most certainly, lithe of body. He looks like so many men who are overly fond of the grape or the hops and he is a glutton to boot. Yet, women are strangely at- tracted to him and that gives hope to those men whose lot it is to be more Falstaff than say, Henry V. (Hank Cinq). . It's a plummy role and is plumbed (sorry) to its shallow depths by Timothy Noble in the Canadian Opera Company produc- tion of Verdi's Falstaff cur- rently playing at The O'Keefe. He is an excellent singer and also an ex- cellent actor. The tempta- tion to play the role "broad" must be strong but Mr. Noble wisely resists: or perhaps. he's reined in by director Jonathan Eaton. Whatever, his Falstaff is a decadently elegant amalgam of gutter and garrett, of glitter and tur- ret. He is to the manor born (Noble one might say) and it shows even in the meanest tavern. Yet. he is also the chanticleer seek - Ing new conquests. Like the character itself, it is a well rounded performance. His comic retainers Bar- dofo and Pistola are por- trayed respectively by Guillermo Sipa-Marin and James Patterson. Both are funny as should be the case but we were quite taken by Mr. Silva -Mann's comic turn. One is used to seeing him in romantic operetta roles where he is quite dashing. To see him as a decrepit and not too bright squire is ung and hilarious. The two "merry wives of Windsor" after whom the Shakespeare play is titled are Nancy Gustafson as Alice Ford and Jean Stilwell as Meg Page. Thea• are both sopranos and they are both knockouts to view•. If one has any possible criticism of the casting. it is that the gorgeous !Hiss Gustafson looks impossibly young, even by the stan- dards of the times, to have a daughter of mar- riageable age. Who, however. really cares" Her physical attractiveness surely serves as a frame for her sweet voice. As the daughter in ques- tion, Tracy Dahl is all diminutive sweetness awakening to the textural delights of love. Even so, her third act aria is sublimely ethereal. Gaetan LaperriOre capably portrays Ford in a nice combination of outrage and quickened awareness. Peter Blanchet is properly pompous as the foppish Dr. Cajus and Mark Dubois is all dash and charm as the sweetheart of the daughter. U Errol Flynn could sing it's the sort of role to which he might have aspired. Sheila Nadler portrays Mrs. Quickly and. ascribe it to our maturity if you wish, we found her more exciting than the two wives she serves. She is a hand- some woman but even more, the possessor of a fine mezzo-soprano voice. Our enjoyment of the mezzo-soprano voice has long been known to regular readers. Combined with a handsome lady such as Miss Nadler, well, it's enough to make one a stage door Johnny again. Yes. we're in love. Richard Bradshaw con- ducts the score. not really one of Verdi's better ones. in a manner delightfully cozeni Falstaff continues until Apr. 26th and is well worth attendance. Watch for us at the stage door with flowers for Miss Nadler. ONSTAGE: Falstaff looms large in Lettice & Lovage now play- ing at The Elgin. Actually not that large but the alliteration couldn't be resisted. The Lettice of the title is an older lady of free spirit. a daughter of the theatre whose mother played male roles, most notably Falstaff and Richard III, wearing portable body padding -front for Falstaff, rear for Richard. She is a guide for an historical buildings society until she is dismissed by a stuff) spinster bureaucrat for flamboyantly embellishing the dull history of Fustian House. Not improbably the two women become friends, in- itially under the influence of wine liberally laced with lovage. t Look it up for yourself. we're on an alliterative roll.) Lettice remains flamboyant and "LLY'S il STEAK & SHRIMPS S9.95 1 Chreoal Broiled Jr.Cut N.Y.Sterak and Delicious Breaded Shrimps.

CLOSED MONDAYS Around and About Your Dining &Entertainment Guide the dour Lotte Schoen, for such is her name, becomes more of the woman she should have been all along. It's a thin premise and the play itself is arguably a pot boiler when judged against the high standards of the playwright Peter Shaffer. Yet, it's witty and most enjoyable, particular- ly for those who love theatre and appreciate fine performances. Miss Harris is. . .well, she's Julie Harris, impec- cable in characterization and technicallv sectwe. In- deed, one might comment that, upon the evening of our attendance. anyway, she was too secure in her own ability. Some of her words were lost to the au- dience and the fault cannot be ascribed to the theatre and its acoustics. We are certain, however. that Director Michael Blakemnore will have had the oversight corrected by now. Roberta Maxwell is Lotte and gives as much to the role as is possible. The play is dearly intended as a showpiece for whomever portrays Lettice (it was written for Maggie Smith) and the secondary role is. . .secondary. Yet. Miss Max- well makes much of her character and is Quite win - Now alkvw is please a digression and r+eminuscence. In a scene toward the end of the play Miss Maxwell removes the wig worn by her character. Well, how the memories flooded buck' For her role in a long ago motion pic- ture titled Botany Bay and starring the late Janes Masan. Miss Maxwell had her head shaved. It caused quite a stir at the time and, in our view. detracted from her very real talent as an actress. Welcome home Miss Maxwell. Mary Louise Burke is hilarious in a virtual walk on as a nervous secretary and John Horton draws the biggest laugh of the even- ing in his role as Mr. Bar- dolph. a serious man of the law. We don't want to give awav too much but watch closely as he does his drum major bit. Strictly Falstaff's Bardolpho and, just as laughable. Lettice and Lovage is in for a sinfully short run. It ends this weekend so do not delay in securing your tickets. You'll be sorry if you do. DINNER THEATRE: Don't Dress For Dinner presently playing Stage West is not a British farce comedy. It's French com- edy by Marc Camolatti translated into English. So how can Anson Williams star in this North American premiere? Sim- ple enough: a line has been written in for him in which he explains that his mother-in-law "hates me, I'm American". Okay? Well, this American's wife is planning to go away for the weekend and so he plans an assignation with his mistress. As a cover, however, he asks his best friend to join him. As it turns out, his best friend is his wife's lover and when she learns that he is com- ing for the weekend, she cancels her trip. The mistress shows as planned Charles Sauriol Speaks About Don River Charles Sauriol will be the speaker at the Civic Garden Centre on Tues. Apr. 28 at 7:30 p.m. His lec- ture, "Progress On The Don" will review the positive developments along the Don Valley system in the past few years. He will document with slides the slow and steady return of the area since Hurricane Hazel caused total upheaval and devastation in 1954. Mr. Sauriol has served the cause of conservation in this city in many capacities: he was a foun- ding member of The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority and a former ,chairman of the Conserva- tion Areas Advisory Board; former executive director of The Nature Con- servancy of Canada; co- founder of the Don Valley Conservation Association: former administrative director of The Metropolitan Toronto Region Conservation Foun- dation and has helped establish conservation education centres in On- tario and Quebec. In 1989 Mr. Sauriol was appointed a member of the Order of Canada. On Sept. 6 of that year, the Charles Sauriol Conservation Reserve was created as a special tribute to a man who had already received a great many honours. The conservation reserve is located in the east valley of the Don River and encom- passes 185 hectares from the forks of the Don to :Lawrence Ave. Come to this event and find out what has been ac- complished and what one very dedicated man has been able to achieve.

The production runs from Apr. 23-25 and from Apr. 28 -May 2 with matinees both Saturdays. ..Pirates". one of Gilbert and Sullivan's favourite operas. involves a motley bunch of pirates confron- ting a bumbling bunch of policemen. and along for the ride are the obligatory bevy of beauties and the pompous character - in this case the Major General and his daughters. The plot twists and turns with many rigs which resolve into a happy ending - all making for high com- edy- The theatre is located in Hart House, west of Queen's Park, south of Hoskin Ave. on the Univer- sity of Toronto campus.

Con- gratulations. That means you won't have to try to follow the plot while laughing over this hilarious bit of fluff. Anson Williams handles his role well and even manages to cover over the fact that he's not quite ready for farce but by heaven, he gives it the good old college try. Reliable Ian Deakin is along as his friend and wife's lover. Mr. Deakin has one of those bemused faces that seem never real- ly too sure what's going on. Accordingly. his responses to situations are blunder- ingly clever. If you can figure out what we're try- ing to say, again con- gratulations. Anyway, just take our word for it that he's funny, very funny. Gabrielle Rose is elegant as the randy housewife and Melodee Finlay is wonder- fully winning as the sexpot mistress seconded into du- ty as a cook. (Don't ask us to explain.) Comic honours of the evening must go, however, to Marcia Kash. She is the lady who arrives to prepare dinner and is pressed into masquerade as a mistress. To be honest, the lines given to her are not of top quality but her ty is well-known for presen- ting outstanding produc- tions. and generally play to packed houses. It is therefore advisable to pur- chase tickets early. Tickets are SW each, and are available from Hart House Theatre. Call 978-8868.

We recommend the Filet of Salmon in lime cream sauce with diced mushrooms in a pineapple ginger sauce and wild rice. Fiery Fruit Salad in melon boat with roasted coconuts is interesting and the Hazelnut Mousse with Chocolate Sauce is all that it should be, light and tasty. OUR CALENDAR: Tomorrow, the McMichael Gallery opens its exhibition of portraits by Karsh. Onus won't be there mainly because it's unauthenticated. Fact is, most who see it, say it's harsh not Karsh. Friday, Dan Hill appears at Massey Hall with special opening guest Shirley &khard. Miss Eikhard is doing alright for herelf but we've newer been able to understand why she has not achieved the international stardom we believe she deserves. Her voice is equal to that of k.d. Lang and better than that of Anne Murray. On Saturday, the Cana- dian Opera Company presents Petite Messe Solonelle, a Tribute to Rossini at St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church. Per- formance time is 8 p.m. On Sunday we hope to be watching CHCH-TV at 8 p.m. for the 13th Annual Andy Awards. The awards are named in honour of Agnes Anderson, a Hamilton broadcaster who encouraged many young people to enter broad- casting. This is a Mohawk College student production and a good opportunity to spot future members of the media. Our congratulations to them all. FAST EXIT: We suggest that the all time bad taste in broad- casting award should be made to CFRB. At 3 p.m. on Good Friday, the hour at which The Saviour gave up the ghost, CFRB played Jests Christ, Superstar! The program director should be ashamed. wea. April a. im THE rewsiroxr Page 7 New Techniques Available For Waste Composting On Large Scale The pending closure of half of Ontario's 1400 active disposal sites has spurred the exploration and development of a number of "green" alternatives to traditional waste manage- ment techniques. The com- posting of organic materials is being hailed as the next definitive measure for environmentally friend- ly waste management. While composting may be widely popular for Household wastes, with backyard composter sales for the last three years ex- ceeding 320,000 units in On- tario alone, the discovery of a technology to apply composting theory to large volumes of municipal waste is rather recent. Composting systems ranging from open-air win- drow systems to enclosed, computer -controlled tunnel systems are vying for a share of the market opened up, in part, by the release of Ontario Ministry of the Environment's "Guidelines For The Pro- duction and Use of Aerobic Compost in Ontario".. These guidelines will enable many municipalities to switch over to a composting system without regard for the stringent requirements of the certificate of ap- Celebrating Four Winds Kite Festival Kortright Centre for Con- servation is celebrating the 5th anniversary of its Four Winds Kite Festival on May 2nd and 3rd from to a.m. to 4 p.m. Nothing sets sprits soar- ing in spring like kites!

The first of up to 10 million coins to be minted was unveiled by the Hon. Paul Dick, Minister of Supply and Services, the Hon. Gary Filmon, Premier of Manitoba, and the coin's designer, Muriel Hope of Win- nipeg. In his remarks, Paul Dick spoke about the significance of the Canada 125 coin program, and that it will help Canada to "create some new national symbols - symbols which stir a response in all of us, regardless fo where we live in this country... What unites us is an abiding love for the land - the natural beauty of this country." He recalled how during a six week period early in 1991 the Mint received 11,003 designs from across Canada, all depicting the beauty of Canada. He publicly congratulated the participants and termed the result "a spectacular tribute to the pride felt by so many people across this land." Manitoba Premier Gary Filmon joined in saluting the winner. "Muriel Hope should be congratulated today for depicting so well one of the best known sites in our province," he said. "It's exciting to imagine this coin, bear- ing a scene so familiar to Manitobans, being passed from hand to hand throughout this vast country, symbolizing our own pride in being Canadians." and use dip nets and see pond life up close.

Battle Of York Apr. 26th. The public is invited to attend the "Battle of York Commemoration" on Sun.

The 26 page draft cites the necessity for large- scale composting to be "allowed to develop as a significant waste manage- ment option to Ontario's waste diversification goals." The problem seems to be in finding a system that will work. Of the eighteen municipal waste com- posting systems in ex- istence in North America, only one is currently operating, and at a reduced capacity. A recent Rutgers University study suggests that the answer might be to look to another industry with a long track record of successful composting: the L eE �10 :O mushroom industry. One Canadian manufac- turer of tunnel composting systems for mushroom far- ming call the growth poten- tial of the industry "ab- solutely staggering". Thomas Thomas, Presi- dent of the Double T Equip- ment Manufacturing Ltd. in Airdrie, Alberta, says "Companies with ex- perience in composting process control are receiv- ing inquiries from all over the world. Even manufac- turers without composting experience are exploring the market. Indications are that even with these new entries into the field we may not be able to meet the demands of the marketplace." The last stumbling block for the industry seems to be the hesitancy of municipalities to explore locations for large scale composting facilities due to the odours given off by the process. But with the ad- vent of fully enclosed tun- nel systems and computer controlled air flow, the nox- ious fumes released can be reduced to as little as one tenth of one percent of the amount produced by the open air composting pro- cess. According to Thomas, "The technology has final- ly caught up with the needs of the market. The next three to five years should see widespread application of these systems, and a huge growth in the industry worldwide... BEAUTIFUL 8th.

You have probably heard about the new firearms safety legislation recently in the news. This is the law that reflects Canadians' concerns about violent crime involving guns. Based on the passage of Bill C-17 last December, a set of proposed gun -control regulations was tabled last week in the House of Commons. Parliamentarians have 30 sitting days to examine them in detail. The proposed rules cover such aspects of gun control as the size of cartridge magazines, requirements for collector's status, and storage and transportation. They are designed to improve public safety in Canada while respec- ting the rights of legitimate gun users. Not all Canadians live in cities, and in certain parts of Canada people must legitimately use firearms as part of their daily lives. That's why an element of flexibility has been sought for applying the new regulations, for people liv- ing in rural and northern areas of the country where firearm use is often necessary for supporting families. Minimum standards have been set for storage and transportation: all firearms must be kept unloaded and separate from ammunition. except when actually in use. Exceptions are built into the regulations for firearm users m rural areas where animal control is necessary. Rules concerning the acquisition of Firearms Acquisition Certificates (FAC) have been tightened. but these rules respect experienced users. Collectors of restricted fimarms must keep basic records of their weapons. The ac- tual inspection of the collection will be well regulated and is designed to repsect the collector's privacy. U you would like more information on these re gulatmns. please contact my office. On another note. 1 world Wee to extend my thanks to the federal cabinet Ministers - The Hon. Otto Jelmek.
