August .i, 199L) Opinion a page for expression for you and us Why Not? by Bob Watson Recycling and handling our waste is a topic which con- cerns most of our citizens. Blue boxes have done a great job for homeowners and tenants. but there is one area which has been ignored by our waste collectors. We refer to the commercial and industrial businesses. who pay twice the taxes of homeowners but don't get Blue Box treatment by the city's waste collection system. Our municipal sen -ices could make money taking com- mercial and industrial waste and selling it to the private enterprises who recycle waste into reusable products. One product was cut from household Blue Box pickups. It was "fine paper" because houses don't have that much. However. industry and commercial enterprises could have supplied lots of this material. The Oshawa Centre is doing a very thorough recycling process including the collection of fine paper which in- cludes typing and bond paper. envelopes, letterhead in- cluding tissue copies, photocopies, computer paper and paper plates and cups. This kind of recycling -would really help the %•hole situation as right now envelopes in Metro Toronto can only go into garbage bags for landfill burial. We believe more private enterprisers should be involved in the whole process to help us reach as close to 100% recycling as we can. Help For Children Dear Editor: I had a son die of meningococcal disease on April = of this vear. Like all of the children whip died from this disease in thie past two years or more they were diagnosed too late for anything to help. This disease acts like a flu when it first starts. The doctors can only do what they can when they find out what they are dealing with. There is a test kit that quickly diagnoses any type of men- ingitis. The key here is early diagnosis and these kits take only five minutes to give a ..yes' or "no" answer. Any doc- tor is able to do this test in his office. The problem is Health and Welfare of Canada and Global Tek Diagnostics are fighting over ownership and while this is going on the kit is not being produced or tested. The longer this goes on the longer it will take to get the kit availabk for our children. I don't believe our children should be the Does paying for this %trite they are fighting for ownership. 1 believe these kits should be available for our children. i know they are not a cure but the luta can at least help the doctors detect meningitis %trent it is acting like a flu or earlier. What I am about to do is have a petition go all around Canada and give all Canadians a chance to let Ottawa know that we believe our children should have what ever there is available to help protect them from this disease. 1 am ask- ing for help from all Canadians across Canada, so we can get this petition to all the town and cities and have everyone sign it. Hopefully it will be ready to present to the Hou;e in the fall. If anyone would like to help or want to know more about this test kit you can write me - Wanda Qnngley. P.O. Box —,24. Wabush.

This guide offers suggestions and provides examples of organizations which are mating their offices more environmentally appropriate. By looking at such things as: the use and disposal of paper and other office products. energy and water use. transportation. meal and coffee breaks and procurement policies, the guide demonstrates that creating a Green Office can not only benefit the environment but it can also save money and boast employee morale. news o s Published every We enesday by Watson Publishing Company Limited, Est. 1950 Office 6 Address: 150 Milner Ave. Unit 35.

MLMUM Canada The hard truth about cross-border shopping By Michwl Wyc*s The National Task Force on Cross -Border Shopping re- leased a study recently which argued that a small, bard -core gawp of misinformed, lower- income male consumers are responsible for up to 90 per cent of cross-border sbopping, 71be Task Force, which is made up of both federal said provincial governments and several industry, consumer and union groups, stated that "clim._.-:ng misconceptions" 'are fuelling the proble n and strongly hinted in its report that crosslx t shopping is more an iraad crisis than a real one. In stark contrast to the Task Fmm's position is the Canadian Federation of Independent Business and is recent study on cross-border shopping. which eompilod a survey of 5,809 business owners -.{he people who take a beating when Canadians decide to shop in the U.S. Clearly. the severity of the cross•bordet problem cannot be ignored as LF 'a survey results mdicaae that Canadian retailers lost an estimated S 10A billion worth of sales in 1991. with small retailers absorbing S6 billion of that amomt. Jobs took a beating too, with on estimated 117AM full-time and 131,000 part -throe jobs being swept from the economy in 1991 because of cros-border shop- ping. In contrast to the fishy findings of the National Task Force, the hard truth is that the growth of cvss4xorder shop- ping during the lost few years has bad a disastrous impact on The Canadian economy. -By inordinately increasing taxes on these items, govern- ments have literally driven Canadians to shop in the U.S. at the expense of Consdiaai businesses and the Canadian economy.

"In 1992", he said "you could not pick up a newspaper, read a magazine, watch television or listen to the radio without someone criticizing either the education system or teachers, or both. Everyone, from the Prime Minister to the average person on the street, has had something to say on some aspect of education. We have had everyone from Mr. McKenna in New Brunswick pontificating about lengthening the school year to Mr. Dinning in Alberta w•ho believes that national testing will solve every educational woe. Business has responded, not with proposals or sugges- tions, but with vicious attacks on the product of education - the students. Mr. McDonald pointed out that with everything that was being said, the media had a field day. He also pointed out that in every province and territory, school boards and ministries of Education made the teacher's life even more difficult by imposing pay freezes, increasing pupil teacher ratios, breaching signed contracts and imposing many other restraints and cutbacks. The teacher leader then responded to a number of myths which have come into vogue recently. "In Japan." he said, "students tend to score higher on Math and Science tests than their Canadian counterpart. It was reported that Japanese students spend 240 days in school. The popular misconception is that more time in school will make for bet- ter student performance. The reality is that in Japan, 3435 percent of students don't take Math and Science tests. These 3435 percent are streamed out of the academic s)stem. They never take the tests. The 24o school days are also a myth. Any extra days are used for extracurricular activities or for Japanese school children to clean their schools. " The CTF President then responded to the myth that Cana- dian teachers are amartg the tughest paid in the world, as reported in the Economic Council of Canada's much pubiicined report "A Lot to Learn - Education and Training in Canada." He stated that the report uses outdated evidence from a U.S. study, showing average teacher salaries in 1961 and 1984. "Instead of rising U.S. teacher salaries as a benchmark for the world, the Council should have related average teacher salaries in each OECD coun- try to corresponding average annual wages and salaries in the labour force in each country. The use of such a measure would have shown that the relative incomes of Canadian teachers are close to the OECD average, not the highest on earth as the evidence cited by the Council suggests,.. said McDonald. He also responded to the misc-aocepti in that, rim to Sweden. Canada spends the most on social security. that everyone is living on welfare. and that no one wants to wet. "Tbe reality." he said, "is that of twenty-four OECD countries. Canada ranks eleventh in social security con- tribution.. - ..The point is this." says McDonald: --the education system and its teachers are being blamed for society's, I m rnnents and businesses* failures. The reality is that every time a societal problem arises. education is !tailed as the answer. the key to solving the problem. The education system is the dumping ground for society's failings. Fur- ther, the teachers are the scapegoats of society." The CTF President dealt with one Last misconception that persists in Canada. This misconception is that the Canadian education system is failing because countries such as Japan. Korea and Germany are more successful than Canada in certain aspects of education. -"Ile reality," he says. "is much different. The reality is that Canadian education is very successful. that, in Canada, all groups are included in the education system and in any testing which is a step in the process. The reality is that we do rot stream out the bottom 3435 percent of Canadian students. Everyone is offered a free public education. Everyone is included and no one is for- cibly or otherwise excluded." Mr. McDonald pointed out that the U.N. ranks Canada as number one in the world in quality of life. "Few, if any Canadians," he adds, ..would be willing to trade their cur- rent quality of life for that of any other country in the world... The CTF President concluded his address by stating that his preceding remarks did not mean that change is not necessary or desirable. "We, as educators," he said, --will continue to facilitate the proposed changes that benefit our clients, the students of Canada. But we will also oppose those changes which are knee-jerk reactions to public misconceptions. We don't oppose them for our benefit. We Oppose them for the future of Canada - our children.

This innovative marketing concept is the idea of Philip and Loretto Bender on their Erin farm. He is an ex -stockbroker - engineer, she a stained glass artist. who jointly with their family maintain a 10,000 tree apple orchard_ We find many of our clients use the tree as a gift to friends or family, par- ticularly where children are involved.- says Philip. For $25-$30 you get the exclusive crop from the tree of your choice. The Benders guarantee a aninirrxrrh of two bushels, which, for non farmers is about 9D lbs. This is a family oriented enterpi Lw. both for the Benders and for the families who come to ex- perience the joys of the country by picking appies- While visiting, children just love to visit some of 16 miniature horses on the farm. The orchards contain eleven varieties of apple: Melba, Tydeman, Macin- tosh, Macoun, Paulared, Golden Delicious, Red Delicious, Spartan, Cor- tland. Russet, Idared and Northern Spy. "Of the eleven varieties, five are organic," says Bender "while most people just pick and eat them, we have a cider press so we can press cider too." The farm on Trafalgar Road is less than an hours drive from Toronto, Hamilton and Kitchener, many urban families use the occasion to picnic and at the same time take enough apples home for hot apple pie or hnch boxes.

Mawter rewmaMie for the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). has announced that Walter Pitman will serve as chairman of the Interim Waste Authority LA=ted (IWA). Mr. Pitman will direct the authority in its search for much needed landfills in the GTA. The position is part-time and Mr. Pitman's term is for two years. The authority is conducting searches for three new la KV fill sites within the Greater Toronto Area: one to serve Peel, another in Durham and one to serve Metropolitan Toronto and the Region of York. Recently a "long list" of potential sites in each area was released and in the next stage a ..short list" will narrow the list to a small number of candidate sites in each area. Public consultation on criteria for this stage is now underway. -I look forward to the challenge of working with the IWA in their efforts to locate these three landfill sites. This fair and open process involves the public at every stage... Mr. Pitman said "The siting of landfills is a difficult but essen- tial task and must be coupled with efforts to reduce the amount of waste we all produce. I recognize the public's concern over the management of solid waste and I see our task as the need to balance these legitimate concerns with the obvious need to fund new landfill space... Under the Environmental Assessment Act, the En- vironmental Assessment Board has the authority, after public hearings. to decide whether to approve the three Mutes eventually selected by the IWA. Public consultation on criteria for identifying the --long list" began in August 1991 and continues at each stage of the environmental assess- ment process. Mr. Pitman is currently part-time chairman of the Ministry of Colleges and Universities' Task Force on Ad- vanced Training. He is the former director of The Ontario Institute for Studies in Education and was president of Ryerson Polytechnical Institute from 1975 to 1960. Mr. Pit- man began his career as a teacher in North York. He was a Member of Parliament and from 1967 to 1971, he was a member of the provincial legislature representing Peter- borough. From 1990 to 1984 he served as president of the Canadian Civil Liberties Association. Since 1986 he has been chair of the board of Energy Probe and Probe Interna- tional.

August 5. 1992 Bill Watt's Worlds On Stage Buddy's back. The Bud- dy Holly Story is back at the Royal Alex. Is Billie happy? "Is" (to quote the late Ted Lewis) "everybody happy?". Well, let's stick with the schtick of remembering old orchestra leaders and quote Ben Bernie..."Yowsah, Yowsah, yowsa"! Since his untimely death in 1959, Buddy Holly has achieved a virtual cult status. Fortunately, through the magic of recor- dings it can be well attested that the status is deserved. Fortunately, too, there is Buddy. the Buddy Holly Story. Of carie it helps continue the memory of the man who inspired it but even if there had been no Buddy Holly. even if this musical were cut out of whole musical cloth, it would still be successful. It is a hard driving, non stop piece of entertainment that makes one recall when the music of youth was hap - ' mindlessly so perhaps but happy never the less. One cannot but be happy singing it and listening to it. Much to be admired too, as well as enjoyed, is the talented cast brought together for this produc- tion. All sing. all play musical instruments. all dance. (Well. they dm't all dance in the show but one just knows that they can.) Rarely on one stage will one see such a collection of v rtually equal talent. This time 'round. Chip Fstm fresh from the Lon- don production takes the ti- tle tole. takes it and makes it virtually his own, in a way that one thought only his predecessor. Paul Hipp could have done. Physically, he looms like Buddy Holly, he sings like him and• we suppose ac- tually speaks like him. Here's something else though. We have an idea that he plays better than the late Mr. Holly. His fret work on the strings is just incredible. his chording is spot on and he ac- complishes that while gyrating around the stage like a young Buddy Ebsen or even Ray Bolger Quite simply, he gives an incredi- ble performance and one marvels at such talent and energy. Regrettably, all cast members cannot be men- tioned here though all deserve up front praise. One must, however. give full measure of praise to Alex Paez as Ritchie Valens and Brian Ruf as the Big Bopper. The former is all Latin dvnamite and latter is, well he's the Big Bopper... and never out of character. Watch his eyes while he's performing. Kudos as well to Billy Ward as Dion. One could go on: one could mention the way that the audience responds to the music, one could men- tion the tight evocation of the fifties, one could men- tion oh, so many other things to enjoy about Bud- dy. Instead, please indulge us and those who might remember them by saying that Ted Lewis and Ben Bernie would have enjoyed Buddy Holly and the show that has been created out of his too short life. Yowsah, yowsah. vowsah. Partv '[Sine After the opening night performance we repaired to the new Meteor Chop House on nearby Peter St. for a cast and media party. Good party. nice place. With wall to wall people in attendance• one couldn't get a proper opportunity to view this eating and party place. We came away with the impression of a well ap- pointed and comfortable eating place. rather mind - f ul of the old Guiness of Sheep's Head Bay in Manhattan which we en- joyed in our youth. The food" Usually. one doesn't comment an the food served to a large gathering because it's un- fair to a kitchen straining to keep up with the demands of determined partygoers. There is no hesitation, however, about recommending the fine viands served ... and so much' The food just kept coming and coming. Of course, it was finger food and all of it dehoexan. We were quite taken with the chicken wings. A member of manage- ment advised us that for the present. Meteor is cks- ed on Sundays except when the Blue Jays are in town. Pity. Well, it simply means that one will have to go there another evening. one certainly so intends. Good luck to The Meteor and our thanks to Attic Records. one of the cor- porate hosts for the party. Attic has the original cast album of Buddy. As soon as this is put to bed. we're go- ing to crank up the hi-fi. Now. if only we could nib- ble on some Meteor wings at the same time. After Glow At the party we were ask- ed by several about Paul Hipp who originated the role of Buddy. He can be seen currently in the straight to video Bad Chan- ar s I BE WATER SMART.

On Scr"s Before attending a private screening of Buffy, The Vampire Slaver Twentieth Century Fox) we "jooked in" to the near- by Patio Restaurant for a precautionary sustenance of vin rouge and garlic bread. Garlic is said to repel vampir esdoes any culture that employs garlic in its cuisine have a history of lycanthropy? -and it seemed a guard against the terror of anticipated night creatures. The most telling com- ment upon our culinary choice is that it didn't repel our seat mates. Neither, however, did it repel our feeling of annoyance at the waste of talent in such a piece of nonsense -albeit more or less harmless nonsense. Donald Sutherland, who seems to work as regularly as Michael Caine, appears as a mysterious character who speaks like Cecil Parker. His mission is to seek out, generation after generation, humans who can and will kill vampires. This time 'round (watch for sequels should the film take off, which we doubt), he chooses a deep chested high school bimbo played innocuously enough by Kristy Swanson. In a sort of Buffy meets Carrie climax, all the vam- pires are killed off at the annual school formals with the requisite amount of mayhem and minimum aIllotrit of true hMriour. Luke Perry is along as Buffy's true love. One presumes the film was made before the success of Beverley Hills, 90210. i Remember that John Travolta was still one of Kotter's sweat hogs when Carrie was released.) He's adequate in his part. No more, no less. Paull Reuberts plays one of the vampires and toes so rather well but, if you don't recognize the name. then it really doesn't matter. Neither, for that matter, does Buffy. the vampire Killer. In a real surnmer it might be an excuse to go to an air conditioned motion picture theatre. As it is, wait for it on video. The wait shouldn't be longer than six weeks. :Music Notes The O'Keefe is presen- ting Henry Mancini, Cleo Laine and John Dankworth Performing together with a 46 piece on stage orchestra.

'Preserving our heritage buildings intimately connects us with our past." says Karen Haslam. "We are privileged to have the opportunity to pass on this legacy to future generations.' Chiefswood was built in Oshweken in 1853 by Chief G.H.M. Johnson of the Six Nations for his English wife, Emily Howells. Their daughter. Pauline Johnson, was born and raised in the house. A provincial plaque com- memorating her life and work was placed on the property in 1968. The house is a hipped roof regency villa with a simple centre hall plan and identical facades. It is also noteworthy for its classic style. and rare stacked plank construction. The home has no back door but rather two front doors, one overlooking the Grand River for the Johnson's neighbours arriving by water and one overlooking the road for those ar- riving by land. '.Pauline Johnson's house has a national profile,.. says Mr. Eddy MPP Brant-Haldimand. "This is an important heritage site and one cherished by the Six Nations for its cultural significance." Difficulties in fundraising prevented earlier restoration. Without the emergency work, the building would suffer fur- ther damage and likely be even more costly to restore and reuse in the future.

As a means of transporta- tion, the bicycle scores well. It's non-polluting, human -powered, and It takes up little space. Cycling is a wonderful fitness activity—and fun, too! In the Campbell Survey on Well -Being in Canada, conducted by the Canadian Fitness and Lifestyle Research Institute, cycling ranked fourth in popularity. (It was topped only by walking, gardening. and swimming- ) In a time of great concern for the environment, the World - watch Institute calls the bicycle "the vehicle for a small planet." We must reduce our reliance on the car, they say, since the by- products of gasoline combustion are major contributors to urban air pollution, acid rain, and global climate change. Cycle commuting (to the store, to work, to school ...) offers great promise. In North America, one half of commuter trips are less than eight kilome- tres—an easy ride once we're ready for it. Regular cycle commuting offers many bene- fits—it will improve our fitness, contribute to a healthy environ- ment, and save us money to boot! If cycle commuting is for you. here are some tips and reminders: Setup. Be sure your bike seat is horizontal (to minimize stress on the lower back) and set at a height that allows a slight bend in the knee when the leg is extended. Styr. Sit comfortably, so your weight is evenly distributed over TIPS A Case for the Bicycle the seat, handlebars, and pedals. Pedal at a comfortable and steady speed—change gears to adjust to hills and wind condi- tions. Starting. if you're new to cycling, start with short, easy trips. Ride to the store, around the block with the kids, that sort of thing. Don't venture off to work or to school until you're ready for it. Safety. Donald Pruden covers the key safety points in Around Town Cycling with his simple tips: Be aware. Be defensive. Be predictable. Be visible. And most important—wear a helmet! One day, you may want to go beyond cycle commuting and quick trips to the store. If so, weekend touring offers many special feelings. Sue Browder, in the American Biking Atlas and Touring Guide, expressed it well when she said, "Touring invigo- rates and brings you In touch with what's happening around You and in tune with nature. Experience the romantic changes of the day—a crisp dawn, a sunny noon, a starry night. Enjoy the best things about being alive."

Seven years ago they might have said "survival". It has taken the better part of a decade, but these Niagara Falls -based en- trepreneurs are currently riding the crest of an enor- mously successful, $3 million -per -year venture into food production. A stone's throw from the company's 742 square metre facility in a quiet in- dustrial park, dolphins and killer whales perform for the public at the popular Marineland tourist attrac- tion. But in the offices of Food Roll Sales, the show that's being put on is one of astute marketing of a food product that is catching on in Canada, the U.S. - and potentially around the world. Having established themselves in domestic and U.S. markets with such clients as Pillsbury (which sells their pizza rolls - an egg roll wrapper of dough filled with tomato. cheese. gra peppers and pep- peroni - under its own label) and most recently the fast food giant Manchu Wok (egg rolls), they're now castirug an eye to the very lucrative overseas markets. It started in 1995 when company president Hen* and his brother Eugene decided to try their hand at nuirketing the ptaa roll as a snack. Working out of the family-owned Cosy Restaurant in St. Catharines, Wong took the item around to local restaurants and bars. The orders began roiling in. A few months later Parker joined the fledgling company as vice-president and before long the firm was looking for new space. With assistance from On- tario's Ministry of In- dustry, Trade and Technology, they found their current site, a federally -inspected loca- tion that meets the str- ingent requirements of their major clients. A visit to Food Roll Sales finds the plant layout dedicated to its products. Administrative offices oc- cupy a small section at the front of the building. The rest of the space, given over to food roll creation, is a model of cleanliness and efficiency: stainless steel tables, deep-frying con- veyors, a freezer that chills the product to -10 degrees Celsius and busy workers garbed in hair covers and white lab coats. On a daily basis, the company makes up to 45,000 pizza rolls or egg rolls, generally alter- nating the products week by week. On this particular day, pizza rolls are being made. In the cool production room ( kept at a constant 10 degrees Celsius), workers lay out squares of dough, onto which they ladle tomato sauce, then add other ingredients before expertly rolling them up. It takes about eight seconds to produce one piz- za roll; fast hands may pro- duce one in five seconds. The rolls are then laid out in rows and pass through the automatic fryer where they're fast fried. Once cooked, they travel along a conveyor system through the freezer before being packaged and boxed for shipment. "From start to finish it takes about 30 minutes to .produce, cook, freeze and package a pizza roll or egg roll," says Parker as he surveys the operation and smiles. There's a sense 'that even after several years, the executives still marvel at the efficiency of their operation. The company has been at its current location since 1996. The majority of the 36 employees (there are plans to add a dozen more this summer) are paid piecework rates: hence the speed with which they pro- duce the rolls. The com- pany is now looking to move into automating at least part of its operation. "We have automatic equipment. but we had to search the world for it," says Parker. "We've got it in place now, but we won't lose any jobs over it. Automation can't compare to the quality with which many of our staff members can put these roils together by hand " Up until 1999 the com- pany marketed pizza rills under its own label. It then shifted into private label production. with Pillsbury as the major cheat. But it was a pitch to Chinese food giant Manchu Wok. which operates more than 220 fast food outlets in Canada and the U.S. that brought the lucrative egg rill businers to the firm. The company bid against major food producers in the U.S. for Manchu Wok's business. With further help from MIT and a National Research Council grant, Food loll Sales came up with a unique type of egg roll, then pitched it to Man- chu Wok late last year. "They liked our track record and we were able to present a competitive price in relation to the U.S. bid- ders," said Wong. That competitiveness was helped, rather than hindered, by the Free Trade agreement. With duties currently standing at six percent and being reduced by two percent per year until their elimination in 1995, Food Roll Sales was able to provide a price guarantee. Egg roll production started this past February. "So far we've sent about two million egg rolls to the U.S." says Parker. Not bad for a company that started as an experi- ment in 1995, when Wong and brother Eugene ("more or less on a whim," he says) decided to test market their pizza rolls_ "When we started sales were pretty small." says Wong. "Back then any order seemed like a big order. ;Now as a private label packer we have seven or eight major customers and we're happy with that„ Asked wiry their products are so successful. Wong and Parker shrug. "I don't really know exactly why the roils are so successful, says Wong. Says Parker with a chuckle: "We'd like to think there is some empi ri cally-researched pian behind its success_ Brat there really wasn't. It was just a product that tasted good and we have managed to sell it." And sell it they do.

Nepean uses two computer systems linked to thousands of control points throughout the community to control the energy used in municipal buildings and facilities. The com- puters automatically monitor and adjust the heating• ven- tilation and air conditioning in the city's two major sports complexes, as well as in the municipal offices, police sta- tion, works garage and other facilities. The computers also schedule regular equipment servicing and watch around the clock for potential problems in equipment such as water and sewage pumps. Back in 1992, Nepean saved $220,000 just by making energy efficiency improvements at its largest recreational building, the Sportsplex. Over the years, the savings on this one building have amounted to several million dollars. More recently, Nepean has designed and built new facilities, including its municipal offices and another recreation complex, with energy efficiency in mind. The result? More millions saved. The automated energy management and building control system allows Nepean's municipal buildings to use 25 to 40 percent less energy per square metre than similar facilities in other municipalities. Nepean's success with energy management is typical of what towns and cities all across Ontario can accomplish. The Ministry of Energy, together with partners such as On- tario Hydro, local gas and electricity utilities, oil suppliers and energy service companies, is determined to help pro- mote more of these kinds of energy savings in towns, cities, businesses and homes all across the province.

"We have gone to a lot of trade shows with the On- tario government and they've been useful in help- ing us make connections," says Wong. Both Wong and Parker are quick to point out that Food Roll Sales isn't the on- ly beneficiary of their pro- ducts' success. On the supply side, On- tario food producers have reaped profits, Parker Wes and reels off an im- pressive list of statistics: `.One-half million pounds of cabbage and bean sprouts, 60,000 pounds of carrots, 50,000 pounds of peas, a halfminionpounds of egg roll crusts and 50,000 pounds of eggs.,, "A lot of Ontario pro- ducers ers are helped out by us giving them our business... adds Wong.

There have been trips to Hong Kong and Japan, the company has bought into another food production facility in Niagara Falls and there is "strictly confidential" research into new food pro- ducts. But while Wong and Parker are reticent about the company's future, they do admit that whatever it holds, good food will be a part of it.

BARBECUING TIPS FOR TASTY PORK • Bring meat to room temperature before bar- becuing. • Season pork with garlic, chopped fresh or dried herbs such as tarragon, thyme or oregano but not salt. Salt draws moisture out of meats and should he added after barbecuing or as part of a baste used in last portion of cooking. • I f a sauce has a lot of sugar, add it near the end of barbecuing time. The sugar causes charring when heated. • With pork kabobs, leave a small space between the food on the skewer to allow the heat to pene- tratc the food evenly. no stranger to local citizens.

Canadian -Florida Investment Conference Florida will be holding its first Canadian - Florida In- vestment Conference on Sept. 21 at. the Toronto Air- port Hilton Hotel located at $875 Airport Road. This cord'erence will pro- vide an ideal opportunity for Canadians to meet with Florida communities and business professionals. The full day conference will in- clude presentations on Florida's investment climate, legal, immigra- tion and taxation implica- tions of establishing or ex- panding a business interest in Florida. A leading North American Bank will discuss relationship bank- ing for Florida business and cross-border re- quirements. A Canadian company will discuss ex- pansion into Florida - its experiences and how to avoid any difficulties. The State of Florida Department of Commerce has maintained an Interna- tional Trade and Develop- ment office in Toronto since late 1990 It was a natural move since Florida has had a very close rela- tionship with Canadians for many years now. In fact over 2.5 million Canadians visited Florida last year and over 5w,000 residences are owned by Canadians in Florida. The Florida Division of Tourism las been very suc- cessful in developing markets through its Toxo - to office for over a decade and through its initial ef- forts has resulted in the opening of the Interna- tional Trade office. Canadian and Florida Trade has amounted to $1.4 billion in goods exported from Florida to Canada and $1.17 billion exported from Canada to Florida. The Toronto office for Florida International Trade is currently assisting many Florida and Canadian companies in developing trade relation- ships. Canada is Florida's number 1 trade partner and it is expected that this relationship will grow and prosper as new Latin America markets are developed - Canadians are also a leading investor in com- mercial industrial proper- ty, plant and equipment in Florida. As of 1969 Cana- dian - U.S. Florida based affiliates had invested over $3 billion overall in these areas. This amounts to over 36% of all countries combined. Future invest - met in plant expansion by Canadians in Florida koks In addition. Florida - Canadian business rela- tionships are taking on more challeriging partner ships, with joint ventures. technology sharing, licens- ing and other strategic alliances becoming of greater importance.

Fut and I used to think that Kyle and Belinda cost us a lot of Inoney when they were babies. But if we could have seen our- selves about 15 years later, dragging two carts of groceries through the checkout each week, we'd have known we had a bargain when they were ankle- biters - Anyway, ung of groceries and new fridges and stuff like that, it occurred to me that there are more things you can do to save energy after you get the new fridge in the door. For instance - the energy saver switch. Most fridges have heat- ing coils that warm the outer surface of the unit near the door opening so that you don't get a lot of condensation. When the weather's not humid, you can save energy by turning those heating coils off. Now, about the butter condi- tioner. If you can live without it, turn it off because it's just a little beater that's going to [Hake your fridge work a little bit harder to keep everything else cold.

Check your door seals from time to time, too. Close the fridge door on a piece of paper, then try to pull the paper out. Try this in several places. If the paper pulls out too easily, you're probably losing cold air from the fridge. Adjust the door so it's tighter, or replace the seal. By themselves, these little things may not save you a lex of energy right away. But just like our cute little ankle -biters who turned into starving teenagers right before our eyes, so too will those little energy -savers turn into biggies if you pay attention to 'em. This newspaper, in conjunc- tion with Ontario Hydro, is bringing you Phil's Basement to help "bring home" ideas on how to save energy.
