September 16, 1992 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Our Future Together by Bob Watson There is a new booklet out from Ottawa entitled "Highlights - Our Future Together" describing the recent agreement for constitutional renewal which our political leaders put together. Reading this booklet has a negative affect on some of us because it starts by accepting the "distinct society" for Quebec. Nothing is said that those of us who are of British descent and speak English are "distinct" as well, it says that we Canadians are committed to "linguistic duality". Ontario has adopted "official bilingualism" but Quebec still bars the English language on signs in a public place. Then we get statements in this booklet that besides hav- ing "two large and vibrant linguistic communities" we are "complemented by a rich heritage of Aboriginal languages and, the many languages of new Canadians." It was our im- pression of Canadian history that the French and British defeated the "native peoples" and the British established a colony, which evolved into a member of the British Com- monwealth and is now independent but established under the laws and system of the British Isles. The booklet mentions three visions of equality —equality of citizens: equality of provinces and equality of the foun- ding English and French linguistic and cultural com- munities." Sounds great but then we read that "all parties agreed on the principle of Aboriginal consent to future cm- stitutional amendments that directly refer to the Aboriginal peoples. Discussions are continuing on the mechanism by which this consent would be expressed - As a Canadian citizen of five generations we find it dif- ficult to acknowledge so-called "aboriginal peoples" as be- ing special and different to the rest of us. We believe in equality for all Canadians, regardless of our backgrounds. our language or customs. We want EQUALITY to be the key to our constitution. This agreement. in our option. makes for more dishing out of our tax dollars to the native peoples. while they pay nothing into our national treasury This is N(YT equality' A lot of solid Canadian citizens are not happy with the results of our political leaders' agreement and this will result in a "no" vote on Oct. 26th. Unfortunately, this will add to the Quebec Separatists "no" votes and the fminists' "no" votes because they want special rules for women' Let's forget the constitution for five years until we've resolved our economic problem' Most of us would like to say "yes" to this political leaders' approach to our constitu- tion. However. we didn't believe this document was necessan when former PM Pierre Trudeau established it. The EtNt Act and the cemuriem of British parliamentary ex- penence were good enough for our country. ul our opinion. Frankly we wound like to see the constitution abolished and a return to the original concepts and the senate abolish- ed to cut out an unnecessary body. A committee of provin- cial premiers could replace the senate. Let's keep this great country moving forward' Letter To The Editor Our Bombers Not Guilty Earlier this year, the CBC aired a T. V. series titled The Valour and the Horror One of the episodes. called Death by Moonlight, dealt with Bomber Command in World War II. The series is now under examination by the CBC Om- budsman and the CRTC It will also be the subject of further examination by a Sub -Committee of the Canadian Senate. Three hundred former RCAF Prisoners of War. at a reu- nion in Vancouver in earn• August. passed a resolution sup- porting these initiatives. To say that our members - and their families - were disturbed, would be a serious understatement. The pro- gram on Bomber Command distorts any rational version of why it was necessary for our bombing crews to strike back at Germany- in 1941, at a time w•tien we were losing both the Battle of the Atlantic, and the land war from Nor•wav to the Suez The Bomber Command program portrays bomber crews as murderers of innocent victims and goes so far as to say moral the oral high ground belonged to the German fighters who were attempting to protect their country. The CBC• tiFB and Telefilm spent approximately $4 million of Canadian taxpayers' motley to create a program which contains inaccuracies and a bias against the one million Canadians who volunteered. and the clearly ten [jiS0S� Lnewwq-m Published every Wednesday by Watson Publishing Compariy Limited, Est. 1950 Office b Address: 150 Milner Ave. Unit 35.

"'ANN Bob Rae says he stands up for workers on Labour Day. a record 600.000 Ontario workers are standing in the t mriployrnent line." Mr. Phillips said as Statistics Canada released unemployment figures for Augu sst. '"Rue Premier is letting down the very people he said he would fight for. Ontario's unemployment rate for August stands at 11.3 per cent. up 0.3 per cent from last month. The number of unemployed workers has risen by 2D.000 to hit 600.000 for the fust time in history. ..Despite Bob Rae's budget prediction that new jobs w*old be created this spring. these latest unemployment figu i es are hard proof of the failure of the Premier's budget." Mr. Phillips said. When the Legislature sits later this month, the Liberal caucus will demand the government to introduce policies to stimulate job creation, Mr. Phillips said. "This is a desperate situation that demands immediate action." Mr. Phillips said. The liberal Treasury critic call- ed on the Premier to take the following steps: set aside chariges to labour legislation: table plans for training pro- grams -, outline promised plans to bring new urmstmient to Ontario. demonstrate with concrete action that the govern- ment is prepared to restore busirass and cnnsurner con - Here and There ) CNIHC- Forecasts Steady Housing Recovery Total national housing starts are forecast to reach 167,000 units this year and increase further to 187.Wo units in 19M, according to Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation's third quarter National Housing Outlook.

Ontario has fallen from having the lowest unemployment rate in the country to fifth place," Mr. Phillips said. Metro Toronto's unemployment rate of 11.9 per cent is higher than the national average, and more than double the 5.1 per cent rate when Bob Rae took office, he added. NDP Employment Equity Is Reverse Discrimination by W. DonaIW Cousem. MPP Markham If the XDP Employment Equity Bill is passed, employers will be forced into legalized discrimuinatioa or face a $50,000 fine. On June 25, the Minister of Citizenship. Elaine Zwmba. introduced mnardatory emuploymiert equity legislation. The legislation is designed to assist aboriginal people, people with disabilities, racial minorities and women. to be hired into Ontario businesses and the government. What the Bill does. is put in place a "race" quota system. The Ontario Public Service. broader public sector employers (hospitals, municipalities and school boards) with 50 or more employees. and private sector employers with loo of more employees will be subject to full quota re- quirements including a roll call and status report of their employees to assist in establishing quotas, a review by the gDvermnent of hiring procedures to determine if they are disc, mi—tory, and an implementation of numerical goals and timetables. Employers Wold have to hire on a set of criteria rather than merit, experience or skill. A very valid question is how does an employer tell if a person is black, white or disabl- ed' By law this criteria cannot be identified or asked for on applications. The government will now tell employers they must have "x" amount people of a particular origin, sex• or disability. If they refuse to comply they could be fined $50.000. µTut it amounts to is, employers must now shop around for packaging rather than quality. In my view those proposals institute discrimination against all races and in hiring the best person for the job. For example, a case against employment equity. The test for firemen is set higher for white males than for visible minorities. When your hoose is on fire, you don't care about the color of the fireperson's skin - you just want a qualified individual to put the fire out. The easier test only guarantees the person taking it will score better marks - it will not make them a better fireperson. Quotas establish special opportunities not equal oppor- tunities, and act to further polarize people in society. How many qualified people will not get jobs or lose their job because they happen to be a white healthy male' 1 believe in equal not forced opportunities. Programs that focus on creating equal opportunities will go a kxig way to reduce the socio-economic, education and employment bar- riers facing many people, of all races, in Ontario. r-----------------------------------------� Give A Gift That Lasts All Year! 1 A year's subscription to one of these newspapers 1 SCARBOROUGH A INCOURT WEST MILL ' ne ws news news 1 CHECK THE NORTHYORK EAST END I�KFRINf:, t i ONE YOU WANT [no �� ne� O St Neal i Send S15 plus 1.05 GST (Tota116.05) cheque, money order or VISA number (plus expiry date) to: 1 Watson Publishing Company Limited 150 MllnerAve., Unit35Scadxwough, Ont-MiS 3R3 1 Name Address- The ddress Wed.

Scarborough South Mutual Funds The Investment Choice For More And More Canadians By the mid -1990x, it is estimated that mutual funds will have a collective aggregate asset value of about $186 billion. That's triple their current value. and mine times their value only five years ago. In this article we take a look at the origins and basic structure of this remarkable popular investment. Mutual funds are big business in Canada. And they're growing fast - In fact, over the past decade, the value of Canada's mutual fund market has increased by an average of 2B per cent each year - from lei billion to more than $62 billion in assets - while the range of funds offered has grown from about K6 to more than 7W. Mutual funds are also held by a substantially greater number of investors: today. there are some 5 million mutual God accounts in Canada (about half of them RRSPs 1 - almost 25 times as marry as in the early 19Ws. While this surge in popularity is a comparatively recent phenomenon. mutual funds have actually been around for more than 100 years. It all started in the late loos, when a group of Scottish investors came up with a very sensible idea: rather than invest their money indlividually. they would pool their resources in one large investment port - Who, and hire a professional manager to look after it. The manager's expertise would help them generate more pro- fits and, because the portfolio would be large enough to hold a variety of different investments, there would be less risk d incurring a substantial loss if one of those investments declined in value. Even after deducting the manager's fee, they'd still come out ahead. Today's mutual funds i or "investment funds", as they're sometimes called) operate on the same basic prinapie, albeit an a much larger scale. Typically. a fund is set up to act on behalf of the investors w the furl, using their money to buy and sell securities with a view towards generating in- come and growth. In return for this service, the fund managers receive an annual fee, generally calculated as a percentage of the fund's assets. Depending on the type of fund, this can range from 0.5 to 2.5 per cent per annum. Most funds are divided into "units" with each unit representing a participation in the fund's net assets. This is what differentiates units from -shares" in a company; while share prices are set by what investors are willing to pay for them on the stock market, the value of a unit is determined only by the value of the fund's assets ( also call- ed the Net Asset Value, or NAV) - To illustrate, let's say that the net asset value of a fund's portfolio is $100 million. If there are 10 million units outstan- ding ( held by investors), a little arithmetic tells us that the net asset value per unit is $10. Now let's say that the fund's net assets rise 12 per cent in value over the course of a year, from $100 million to $112 million. If the management fee is one per cent, we deduct $1.06 million from the fund's assets, calculated on average net assets, leaving a value of $110.94 million. Assuming the number of units remains constant at 10 million, the NAV per unit would be $11.09 for a net gain of 10.9 per cent. In reality, of course, the number of units would change throughout the year as additional units are purchased and some redeemed. But regardless of how many units were bought or sold i "redeemed"), it would make no difference to their value if the structure of the fund's portfolio remain- ed unchanged. How much you may actually gain on your units will de- pend on the type of securities held by the fund, market con- ditions, the skill of the managers, and any fees payable. But chances are you'll do better with a mutual fund than if you invested in the same types of securities directly.

Centenary Offers Cardiac Arrest Training Program A team of clinical educators at Centenary Health Centre in Scar- borough has developed a program to assist training. The comprehensive pro- gram package is designed to help nurses brush up on their response and patient assessment skulls through unit based sessions which include the Cardiac Olym- pics. allowing for practice in a fun way. ..It is quite possible that a nurse could spend her en- tire carder without par- ticipating in a cardiac ar- rest depending upon her specialty... says Beveriey Laypo. one of three pro- gram coordinators. "Our program objective is to ew sure that patients have the best chance for survival with nurses who are prepared and fed confident about their skills in the event of a cardiac arrest situation. " In addition to the unit based inservices - or pro- grams - surprise mock car- diac arrests are scheduled on a regular basis which exercise the skills of atten- ding staff. As well CPR ses- sions are offered ten times per year and are open to those nurses who have at- tended the unit based pro- grams- Centenary ro- grams.Centenary has designated the month of November as Cardiac Ar- rest Awareness Month. where all nursing activities focus on cardiac arrest. Centenary hopes other hospitals will participate in the awareness campaign to keep the importance of car- diac arrest response com- petency, top of mind for health care professionals. Centenary is a regional centre for cardiology ser- vices. offering a full range of cardiac diagnostics. in- cluding angiography, a pacemaker progam and a sophisticated new cardiac care and telemetry units. The complete Cardiac Arrest Program can train a hospital's entire nursing staff complement and is available for $175. It will appeal to hospitals sen- sitive to cutbacks in train- ing budgets.

September 16, 1992 THE NEWS iPOST Page 5 OMA Pitching To Strike Out The Flu The Ontario Medical Association and the Toron- to Blue Jays are teaming up to launch the 1992 influenza -prevention awareness campaign. The Blue Jays, the OMA and other health - professional groups want to drive home the message that getting an annual flu ;shot is your best play against influenza. A poster featuring right fielder Joe Carter, catcher Pat :Borders and pitching coach Galen Cisco, sent to on- tario physicians' offices with the August issue of the Ontario Medical Review, reminds people who are at high risk of suffering )serious health problems as a result of contracting the flu to talk to their doctor about getting vaccinated. "It's very imporant for those in high risk groups to get their flu shot every year," said Dr. Marjorie Keymer, a physician Specializing in care of the elderly and the OMA representative to govern- ment committees design- ing programs for long-term care. Public health officials estimate more than 7,000 hospital admissions in On- tario alone are attributed to influenza. More than 50 percent of these admis- sions will be people 65 years or older. Each year more than 300 deaths in On- tario are attributed to in- fluenza. About 85 percent of these are people 65 or older. "On- ly 30 percent of people in the high risk groups get vaccinated each year," said Dr. Keymer. "We'd like to see a significant in- crease in the number of high-risk individuals who get vaccinated. This will help us reduce con- siderably the incidence of :serious illness and the number of deaths resulting from the flu and its com- Fall Fair On Sat. Sept.19 A fall fair Sat.

September 16, 1992 Bill Watt's Worlds IN PRINT: We read that Etobicoke doctor Amjad Alvi is under deserved fire for intending to open a clinic where couples -no mention of whether they are legally married -can choose the sex of their offspring. Well, just to thwart him. here's advice on gender selection for those who presume that it's other than The Creator's will. It will cost nothing more than the purchase price of Ah. Sweet Mystery of Life published by Alfred A. Knopf. This is a collection of short pieces, mostly hunourous, by Roald Dahl that appeared previously in magazines. They were written for the most part in the late 1940s and concern the bucolic life and con- comittant characters of Surrev, particularly around the charming town of Old Amersham. One of them we recall having read in Esquire when that magazine was at its best. That's the story of the antique dealer who tries to swindle a fine piece of furniture out of a local farmer under the pretense that he wants it only for firewood. You can guess the rest. The farmer in question. Rurnmins. also figures in the title story, the one in which. one supposes. the reader is most interested by this time. Runmins' bulls have a reputation for always sir- ing calves to the choice of the owner: heifers for milk. bulls for beef The secret, however, the m_vsten•. is not in the blood stock but rather in the poshtiorift of the beats during the mating. We'll say no more now but if requests for the book increase, we'll know how the demand came about won't we. all you animal and souvlaki lovers. While continuing to deplore the modern world's propensity to categorize everything, one also con- cedes its efficacy %then reviewing anything per- taimng to the arts. flow useful would be categonza- tion in describing A %ir- t uous Woman by Kaye Gib- bons , Vintage Contem- poranes). Hou impossible a wish. It's lodger than a short story: shorter than a novel or novella. It has no nar- rative: it's not really a character piece. It serves no other apparent purpose than to entertain and evoke admiration of the writer's style. That it does. quite royally. Ruby Pitt is a gentle born farmer's daughter. Young and impetuous, she mar- ries John Woodrow, an itinerant labourer: he dies. She then meets Blinking Jack Stokes. a farm labourer 20 years her senior and they live happily for the rest of her life. Not much of a story is it? Yet, such is the style and skill of Miss Gibbons that it's impossible not to be caught up in the lives of Ruby and Jack. We had to rush to catch a theatre cur- tain because we couldn't put the book down. Hopefully. that says it all. Annually. the M,,stery Writers of America present the Edgar Award for the best mystery novel of the year. The Edgar refers to Edgar Allan Poe who is considered arbitrarily we believe -to have been the progenitor of the mystery novel. Heck. Sophocles wrote mysteries thousands of years before. Anyway. the Edgars are considered to be prestigious and certainly serve the purpose of en- couraging the continuance of the mystery novel, hopefully in the tradition of Doctor Thorndyke, the favourite character of the late James Hilton. Rick Boyer has won an Edgar for Billingsgate Sboal in which he introduc- ed Doc Adana, a full time oral surgeon and part time detective working closely in forensics with police departrneirts. Doc Adams is back i n Gone To Earth i Fawcett Columbine). Set in the lively Massachusetts country to the north of Boston.

The convolutions of the plot are too many to detail here but they all tie in together. A minor criticism of the book is that it's rather more an action piece than a mystery but it's entertain- ing.

P:%RTY TTME:ONE: It's hardly news that Toronto is now one of the major film production cen- tres of the world. Part of the explanation lies in the fact that the American and most other foreign dollars mo further here.

Ontario wines have received critical praise from the leading wine jmur- nal in the United States. A major story appearing in the June issue of the Wine Spectator applauds Ontario winemakers and praises many of their wines. It is the first time Ontario wines have been featured in this influential publication. "Lecognition for Ontario wines is long overdue," said LOBO Chairman Andy Brandt. "Ontario is not just producing good wines to- day. it is producing world class wines and people are finally taking notice... The story. entitled "On- tario Wines Come in From the Cold," coincides with an upswing in Ontario wine sales. Premium Ontario wines are doing particular- ly well. with monthly sales increases of 80 to IOD per- cent over the same period last year. This perfor- mance is even more im- pressive when considered in the context of the overall drop in wine consumption in Canada. pari of a trend happening woidwide. as People drink less but switch to better wines. The success of Ontario wines also reverses a decade-long trend that saw domestics losing market share to imports. A number of top Ontario vintners an pre lied in the Spectator story which recommends U.S. readers cone to Ontario to enjoy both the wines and the pic- turesque and hospitable Niagara region. A taste test by the Spectator cor- respondent of selected of- feings at various Ontario wineries produced very favourable results. On a ion pant scale, the Wine Spec tator rated most of the wines sampled in the 75 to 85 point range. Top marks are also given to Ontario icewines which are acknowledged as --On- have to sav about it?

Dancer Transition Centre and Performing Arts Lodges of Canada. It will be held over two evenings. Sept. 26th and 27th at the Premiere Dance Theatre, Harbourfront. Costs range from $125 for dinner, performance and after performance party down to a modest $20 for the performance alone. The complete list of dan- cing artists is too long for inclusion here but here are a few of the performers one can expect to see. Annette av Paul will dance %ith her "partner for life" Brian Macdonald. Former NBOC star Angela Leigh will take time out from her art work to lead a troupe of 14 former stars of tario's ace in the hole". On- tario icewines have drawn international acclaim in re- cent years, winning gold medals at numerous wine competitions, including the world's two largest. Vinex- po and Intervin. As the Wine Spectator points out, the turning point for the Ontario wine in- dustry occurred in the 196W when local growers replaced the vines of the older, less desirable labrusca grapes with classic European vinifera grape varieties such as Riesling and Chardonnay. "Most people do not realize that the grapes used to produce Ontario wines today are totally different from those used 10 or 15 years ago." observed Brandt. "Ontario winemakers are now using the same high quality grape varieties as the bet- ter wineries of France and Germany. " Brandt also notes that Ontario's wine regions have similar climates to other great wine producing areas such as Burgundy and Moselle. These factors, combined with excellent soil conditions and winemaking techniques, have enabled Ontario to produce many award - winning wines. Another major turning point for the Ontario wine industry was the introduc- tion of the Vintners' Quali- ty Alliance (VQA) in 1984. The VQA is an industry group which sets quality standards for premium On- tario wines. These stan- dards require that the wines be made from 100 percent Ontario grapes from the three designated wine growing regions in Ontario: the Niagara Peninsula. the North Shore of Lake Erie, and Pelee Island. Strict regulations further specify permitted grape varieties, harvest criteria, and winemaking practices. If these standards are met and the wine is approved by an independent tasting panel, a VQA designation is granted, ensuring con- sumers of a wine of the highest quality. "As a result of the grow- ing success of the Ontario wines, some of the wineries are looking at expansion plans." said Peter Gamble, Executive Director. Vint- ners' Quality Alliance. "The Wine Spectator was right when it said " 1wre's no looking back', for On- tario wines.

This year's survey was sent to 4,000 randomly selected CPSA members. Over 1.000 surveys were answered, representing a response rate of nearly 26 percent. 'According to the survey the effects of the recession are slowly subsiding." says Bill Turner. Director of Member Benefits at CPSA. "Eighty-three percent of respondents said that the average number of nights they were away from home has either stayed the same or increased over the course of the past 12 mon- tbs. Based on the results of the survey it is estimated that CPSA members spent just under 900.0DO nights in hotels and motels across the country during the survey period - June 1991 to May 1992," he said. "But business travelers are still closely monitoring the bottom line. Eighty-one percent indicated that the most important factor when choosing a hotel or motel was the rate of the room. The location of the property was second and whether the hotel motel of- fered extra frequent flyer pants came in third,.' he added. The average price business travellers paid for their hotel and motel room has increased from last year's results. In 1991 the largest percentage of respondents paid $51475 per room. In 1992 the largest group paid $76 -Sion. "There is still a reluctance to pay over $100 per night," according to Turner. "However, it appears that even with our discounted rates members are being forced to pay higher prices. This increase is undoubted- ly due to the implementa- tion of the GST since most of the hotels we deal with have actually lowered their base rate in the last 12 mon- ths. „ The honour of best in- dividual Canadian hotel went to the Vancouver Westin Bayshore, in second place was the Toronto Delta Chelsea, and there was a two way tie for third between the Delta Mon- treal and the Ottawa Westin. This year's best chain was the Journey's End Hotels, Delta was se- cond followed by CP. Westin and Holiday- Inns. CPSA's 31,000 members represent the fun spectrum of the saes profession, em- bracing senior manage- ment. entrepreneurs. saes managers and their employees.
