April 29. 1992 Opinion a page for expression for you and us What's The Answer? by Bob Watson Well. the Metro Council spent four days trying to reduce its 14.7% increase in property taxes - planted on Metro by lack of provincial funds - and couldn't make headway. Local councils are coming up with smaller increases because they don't have the problem which Metro has in welfare and police services. This would have been the right time to have had "zero" increases in budgets but govern- ments in general aren't forced to the wall like private business and so make those tough decisions. 'Rte provincial government under those socialist -unionist folks can't come up with answers to counteract recession either. However. private business. especially small business, which learns to survive with the ups and downs of the market place could handle the government problem. We believe that much of government expenditure could be curbed by utilizing private enterprise to handle many of the problems of governments. Of course we don't believe it should be done like the federal government just did in allocating a nice helicopter contract to a Montreal firm with no bidding by other non - Quebec organizations. But we guess that's the Mulroney government philosophy - give it all to Quebec and let the rest of Canada go to hell' What's the answer' Better politicians. skilled by years of work in small business would help. And the Canadian public should react more angrity and let each M.P. or M.P.P. or local councillor know their feelings.

(Photo - Bob Watson) Income Security: A $76 Billion Tab by Tem Mac6en Money transfers from federal. provincial and local goviernmen<s to individuals are a key element - and a costly one - in Canada's social welfare system. Such federal programs as old Age Security. Unernploy ml, I Insurance. Family Allowance. Canada and Quebec Pension Plan, various refundable federal and provincial tax credits, provrncral worker conipersation and man- power itrain nig allowances and local government welfare plans all form part of what is known collectively as the m - come security networit. All told, the netwitrk paid out soiree 575.9 billion to individuals in 1959, representing almost 12% of the value of all goods and services produced by our economy that year. Through recent years. the general trend has been to broaden and enrich these programs. Recession times could result in examination in a less generous light. Expressed in terms of 1959 dollars to remove inflationary effects. the total cost of the incoare security network gr•rw• by 156% from 1971 to 1989. Put another way. the contribu- tions, made in support of these programs, if made solely by employed persons age 25 and up. dumped to $7,505 each from $4,834 over the same 18 years. tiaturally enough, these programs have their greatest impact on the population segment with the lowest income. Assessing the effect of the programs requires a separate look at ton social groups - unattached individuals and families. The individuals are not eligible for certain transfers available to families, such as child tax credits and spouse allowances. As well, unattached individuals as a proportion of all household~ vireo from 25% to 1971 to 31 % in 19t#l. Looking at unattached individuals In the lowest income quintile i fifth of the population,, 94% received some cash transfers in 1989 compared to just 42% in 1971. The propor- tion of these individuals with no other income except such transfer payments jumped to 46% in 1989 from 29% in 1971. For families. the change was less dramatic. in part because many families with children under age 18 received at least the universal Family Albwance throughout the study period. Even so. T,% of families in the lowest income quintile received cash transfers in 19M compared to 85% in 1971. The proportion of families where these transfers amounted to 100° of income remained at about 2D% in both years. Seniors are another group strongly affected by income security programs. In 1971, a full 40% of unattached in- dividuals age 65 and over and 16% of families with a head 65 and over received their total income from these transfer payments. By 1989, this was reduced to 31% for individuals and 10% for families. Some of this reduction should be at- tributed to the growth of both employer-sponsored pension plans and Registered Retirement Savings Plans during the same period Lone patent families headed by ferrules. a group in Which low• Inco rrx is often a problem and a growing popula tion segnretrrt since divorce laws were relaxed. saw the total proportion receiving transfer payments rhumb to almost 99% in 1989 from 89% in 1971.

Participants were eager to give me their views and came up with lots of creative ideas on how to increase revenues while maintaining valuable services. All comniients were hand delivered to the Tteasurer for consideration in the 1992 Budget. All those who participated will be Invited back to a post -budget meeting to tell us what they think. We hope to build on our experience from this year so that for the 1993 budget. we can talk directly to more Ontarians. There are no easy solutions to the problems we face. The recession has devastated our economy - 80% of Canada's manufacturing job losses have been in Ontario. Behind the statistics are real people suffering veal hardships: families struggling to deal with layoffs, businesses being forced into bankruptcy in record numbers. My staff and I met regular- ly with residents experiencing these realities. That's why our governrrxnrt's priority is economic renewal and getting people back to work. That priority is reflected in our April Throne Speech and in our 1992 Budget. I had the honour of moving adoption of the 'Throne Speech and being the first MPP to speak on it in the legislature.

April 29, 1992 Bill Watt's Worlds ONSTAGE: Shirley Valentine which is currently playing at the Bluma Appel Theatre under the auspices of the Canadian Stage Company and Uvent can be, and usually is, described as a one woman show. It is, but simply to leave it that is to do disservice to the playwright Willy Russell and to whomever plays the title role, one which looks easy but, in fact, requires not only talent but techni- que. The two qualities are not necessarily synonomous. Briefly stated, Shirley Russell is The Dreams of the Everyday Housewife without music. Shirlev Valentine is indeed a more ,or less ordinary housewife; bright but with her brilliance dulled by a now unsatisfactory marriage. Dulled but not dimmed. She still seeks the rewards of an enquiring mind and the pleasure of a truly satisfied body. She follows her inner call AM goes to Greece sup- posedly for a fortnight. There she finds the satisfaction to which all women are entitled but which regrettably too few achieve. Now. this isn't simply a work about a bored housewife finally getting properly laid as we overheard one oaf in the opening night audience suggest. No indeed; it's a play filled with humour and even comedy as this for- tyish, over ripe woman reflects and comments upon what her life has been and what it should have been. We're not going to quote many of the lines bene: that would diminish the pleasure of your atten- dance. We will suggest, however. that in the early passages of the play. one natal listen aft enitively un- til the ear has become at- tenuated to the British ac- cent of the housewife. That housewife is played by Nicola Cavendish. The nose has been played by marry others to date and no doubt many others will do so in the future: Shirley Valentine is going to sur- vive as a text book example of a fine play. Still, we find it difficult to conceive of anyone other than Miss Cavendish as Shirley Valentine. .she quite simply is Shirley Valentine. One longs for the ability of say, a Willy Russell to say it better but we simply do not have it. We can only repeat that, on stage anyway, Nicola Cavendish is Shirley Valen- tine and we'd take her to Greece anytime! What are some of the lines delivered by this en- chanting creature? Well, at one point in her rumina- tions she remarks over the fact that so many mispro- nounce clitoris as clitORIS instead of CLIToris. She opines that in any case the former would make a nice name for a woman and "Why not? Lots of men are called Dick." Bawdy? Maybe. Earthy? Certainly. But. Miss Caven- dish Valentine carries if off. And, carries off our hearts at the same time. Good play. excellent per- formance and production values. See it. . several times. ON SCREEN: White Sands (Warner Brothers) is, taken all in all, not a bad shoot -'em -up; no hollering inferno mind you but not bad albeit con- voluted. Willem Dafoe is a New Mexico deputy sheriff in- vestigating the death of a man found in the desert clutching an attactA case filled with money. He becomes involved with in- ternal hanky panky vrithin the F.B.L. arms dealing and a gorgeous woman. '!bat's all you really need to know*. Performance? Good enough one supposes. Dtfoe plays his robe like a poor man's Clint Eastwood imitating Randy Travis, or vice versa. Mickey Rourke is a gum chewing arms dealer, maybe. Mary Elizabeth 3oio, a lookalike for one of aw ac- countants is simply re- quired to be gorgeous; she succeeds. Don't be tricked though, by the shower scene. A body double very obviously takes her place. Pi ty she doesn't get a screen credit. Great spherical mam- maries! ON YOUR TOES: A rare treat has been scheduled for The O'Keefe on May 27th.

All right then, so it's a sophomoric title but after all, it's per- formed by sophomores. Imagine the thrill it must be for those fortunate students and just imagine how that thrill will flow across the footlights to the audience! The other two works of the afternoon will feature The National in Paquita and The Rite of Spring. The choice of works would seem appropriate since the students will most assuredly enjoy their own rite of Spring. IN CONCERT: The Scarborough Philharmonic will make its Roy Thomson Hall debut on May 22nd at a special con- cert to mark the first an- niversary of the friendship agreement between Scar- borough and Sagarnihara, Japan - Guest soloist will be pianist Yoshiko Okada making her first ap- pearance in Canada after her successful debut at New York's Carnegie Hall earlier in the season. We're sure it'll be a fine concert but wish we could understand the concom- mitance between the two cities. On May 5th, the Cana- dian Trio will perform an evening of romantic works at the DuMaurier Theatre Centre in Harbourfront. Among the selections will be Dvorak's trio in F Minor. Musical heaven for we angelic types who love the combination of piano, violin and cello. ART SEEN: Angela Leigh is a con- sumate artist. That is to say. she is a misfires of both performing and graphic arts. She first came to Cana- dian attention as a foun- ding member and principal dancer with our now belov- ed National Ballet. That was from 1951 to 1966. Then carne teaching at the NBOC. at both the com- pany and school level. This was followed by becoming a founder member and Assistant Professor of Dunce at York University as well as teaching at the George Brown College School of Dance. All the while, she was choreographing - That, in turn, led to direc- ting; we well and fondly recall her fine work on such shows as Oh Coward! Noel & Gertie and Gilbert & Sullivan tonight. So much for the perform- ing arts. Miss Leigh also trained at the Sheffield School of Interior Design and presently works as a much sought after interior designer on residential and commercial projects. No doubt you'll recognize the name of her company which is Mantra Interior Design. Through all her other artistic endeavours, however, the lady has con- tinued to worst in the visual arts. For proof of her ex- cellence we recommend at- tendance at an exhibition of her paintings this Saturday and Sunday, May 2nd and May 3rd at 259 Ontario St. Exhibition horns are from 2 Stage Cen.. p Thurs.

Mitzvah Technique, an educational health care alternative is located at 3420 Finch Avenue East. Suite 410, tender director Gloria Verly. The Mitzvah Technique is a body -use re- education technique designed to help teach one how to overcome and pre- vent spinal and postural difficulties, tension, stress, aches, pains, disabilities and deformities resulting from body misuse. It utilizes the sante unforced mechanics used In the acts of standing, sitting and walling. It was developed over 20 years by M. Cohen- Nehemia, formerly of Israel, founder,director of the Alexander Technique Centre, the Mitzvah Technique Centre. Studied at the Faculty of Medicine at Dalhousie University, the Mitzvah Technique is seen as a ma- jor health care discipline. Professor N.F. Clinch, a principle investigator at Dalhousie University, states: "Pupils of the Mitz- vah Technique often ex- perience better sleep, escape from migraine headaches and depression." Dr. W.A. Fa- bian of Thornton, Ontario has noted: "The Mitzvah Technique is very valuable. . .because its discipline educates pa- tients to take care of themselves," Indeed when learning the Mitzvah Technique, "you are a pupil and not a pstimt"; it is a lesson and not a treat- ment. Full effort in learn- ing this simple technique leads to constructive body changes and enhanced functioning. Doctors, educational in- stitutions and members of the performing arts have utilized the technique. But, since its presentation at the 18th World Congress of Natural Medicine In 1990, wider interest is being shown both nationally and internationally. Group sessions or lecture workshops can be arranged for clinics, schools or workplace settings, a free lecture -demonstration is given at the Finch location on the first Wednesday of each month. Originally trained as a medical laboratory technologist, Verly has worked in hospitals in England and Canada. After the Mitzvah Technique helped her recover from neck and back problems that were sustained in a car accident and persisted for 6 Yeats, she pursued a 3 year teacher training course in the technique. She has lec- tured to medical students, nurses and therapists and in public libraries. Dr. Jan Kryspin respected authority and lecturer on chronic pain at the Unviersity of Toronto and founder of the Cana- dian Chronic Pain Associa- tion is associated with the chnlc.

New Sludge Recycling Technology Minister of State for the Environment Pauline Brower has presented Metro Toronto Chairman Alan Toots $1 million in support of a new en- vironmental technology to convert sludge over from treated municipal wastewater into marketable oil. This technology will be used as a demon stratim project at the Highland Creek wastewater treat- ment plant in Toronto. The oil -from -sludge technology has evolved from a bench -scale project initiated in 1982 by En- vironment Canada's Wastewater Technology Centre. This process is an alternative to the disposal of wastewater sludge in landfill sites and could revolutionize the way municipalities around the world cope with this in- creasing waste burden. "Canada produces about 500,000 tonnes of sewage sludge annually," said the Minister. "Through the commercialization of this new technology, an estimated 70 percent could be converted to about 700,000 barrels of reusable oil, worth approximately $15 million." An agreement was reached last year between Metro Toronto and SNC Inc.-Enersludge to adopt the technology for com- mercial use. Contributions to this project come from several sources. Metro Toronto will contribute $11.2 million, the Ontario Ministry of the Environ- ment $6.2 million, SNC Inc.-Enersludge $1 million, Industry, Science and Technology Canada $2 million, and Environment Canada $2 million. The $1 million presented by Minister Browes comes from the Great Lakes Cleanup Fund and is En- vironment Canada's first payment towards the federal government's com- mitment of $4 million to the project - "Now. more than ever. continued close collabora- tion between the pudic and private sectors will enable Canada to create new teehnoiogies that will offer appropriate solutions for municipal and industrial waste disposal problems," said Minister Brower. While nudge disposal op. tions such as landfiIImng and land application can be less costly than oil-fmorrn- sludge conversion, these practices are becoming less attractive for large municipalities because of the increasing lack of land- fill sites and mooting en - The federal goveinrnert's Great Lakes program includes the $125 million Great Lakes Action Plan and Cleanup Fund, the $25 million Poihsion Prevention Initiative and Remedial Action Plans for problem areas.

One of the main goals of sport for children should be to build self esteem." According to Carmichael, "getting cut from a team doesn't do it, getting picked last doesn't do it. What does it is developing skills, feeling competent, and having fun." Ian James, a long jumper who will be com- peting in the Barcelona Olympic Games this sum- mer, said "I wish Spor- tabdity was around when I was young. It teaches Children that they have many avenues to choose from." Sandra Levy, a field hockey player who will compete in her second Olympics in Barcelona believes that Sportability can be a great building block for any young athlete. According to Levy, Sportability should become an integral part of the Canadian sport system. "It is a structure that in the long run will hopefully develop better athletes in all sports. They had a similar structure in the East bloc. It will take time, but I'm excited about it." Curtis Hibbert, Canada's top gymnast and a medal favourite for the 1992 Olym- pic Games in Barcelona, believes that Sportability is a great program. "A lot of kids who play hockey can't even touch their toes. In Sportabibty, they focus on developing individual skills. Every child can ex- cel in it." There is nothing pro- found about Sportability. It is a low cost, safe, and an easy-to-use program that is long overdue. There are many organizations offer- ing Sportability programs, including elementary schools, parks and recrea- tion departments. YMCA's, YWCA's, native Indian reserves, summer camps and boys and girls clubs.
