Scarborough Agincourt Bob Rae failed to deliver on his 19M economic corm- mitrne:tts as unemployment and plant closures in Ontario hit record highs last year. Uberal Treasury Critic Gerry Phillips said recently. •" Ibe December unemployment figures cap a dismal year for Ontairo workers. While unemployment is decreas- ing in the rest of Canada. it continues to rise in (Rano," Phillips said, noting that Ontario's unemployment rate last month rose by 0 ? percent to 11.1 percent while the national average dropped from 11.8 to 11.5 percent. According to the figures released on Jan. 8th, unemploy- mennt in Ontario averaged a record 572,DOD people per month last year, breaking the previous record of 506, Ooo set in 1991. Ad&twnally. plant ciosires in Ontario totalled a record 123 in 1992, affecting 16,295 people, according to final figures released today by the Ministry of Labour. The Previous record was 118, affecting 14,369 people, set in 1991. "Bob Rae wasted 19912 by failing to take steps to deal with job losses." Phillips said. 'He must take action to caplahze on signs of economic recovery in 19903." In his province -Aide television address in January. 1992. Rae made commitments to implement new training pro- grams. to increase spending on infrastructure and to use public sector pension funds to invest in the province, Phillips said. -These commitments have either not been fulfilled or are bogged down in mismtanagement,". Unfortunately. the real unemployment rate in Ontario is at least 13 percent, Phillipe suggested. While the labour force in Ontario usually grows by at least 75,000 people per year, only 18,000 pimple entered the work force over the past two years. "This means that at least mo.00u people have given up looking for work and dropped out of the wont force," Phillips said. "If these people who want to Work but can't find a job were still being counted. the unemployment rate would be at least a couple of percentage points higher." ment on this day. you will be supporting the difficult efforts of those customers that are endeavouring to quit smoking, as well as providing a healthy environment for your non- smoking patrons.

To those residents w -ho organised the 6500 name petition sent to my office and the lobbying of other Metro Councillors asking that Metro Council reopen the police station, my sincere thanks. Your hard work and community involvement has paid off in making your neighbourhood a safer place to live. On Oct. 79, 19912 Metro Council. after years of debate, ap. proved an Interim Reassessment Plan which was sent to the Ontario Government for approval. For years a large number of residents living in Scarborough Highland Creek have been paying more than their fair share of takes because the system for assessing properties was not kept uP-t&-date. Properties throughout Metro were previously assessed based on market value. Many properties in older Metro neighbourhoods were still paying taxes based on 1940 market values while newer homes were paying on current values. Because of some concerns, the Provincial Government did not approve the Interim Reassessment Plan, and I regret to report that the reductions on your prperty taxes to which a large number of residents living in Scarborough Highland Creek are entitled, will not be coming into effect this year. While this interim plan would riot have addressed all of the inequities that currently exist in Metro Toronto's tax system. council had taken an important first step - a step that previous councils had refused to take.

No Surgery For Prostate Treatment Four prominent urologists have joined forces to establish the Toronto Prostate Treat- ment Clinic (TPTC) in a downtown location. The clinic uses the Prostatron machine to treat one of the most common disorders for men in their later years, Benign Prostatic Hyper- trophy (BPH). In the past. BPH treatment has re- quired surgery and up to six days in hospital; now equally effective treatment can be carried out during a walk-in office visit. It has been estimated that 50% of men will ex- perience enlargement of the prostate in later life. Of these, 50% will experience symptoms of Benign Pro- static Hypertrophy - dif- rwtdt and painful urination. Every year in North America close to half a million men undergo the surgid procedure known as Transurethral Resection of the Prostate ( TURP) . This procedure. although usually effective in pro- vidtag long term relief, re- quire hospitalization and a general or spinal anaesthetic, and has a number of undesirable side-effects whidn may in- clude bleeding in the urine, an inability to ejaculate in the normal way (retrograde ejaculation) and even impotence. The Prostatron machine, developed in 1961, offers an equally effective alter- native to TURP, with fewer side effects. The Pro - Matron procedure is called Transurethral Microwave Thermotberapy (TUMT) . Instead of surgery, it reduces the size of the enlarged prostate by microwave radiation ap- plied duwdy to the gland by means of a special catheter inserted in the urethra. At the same time the catheter cools the urethra to protect it against the heating effect of the radiation. The Toronto Prostate Treatment Clinic is at Bay Street and Elm, next to the Delta Chelsea Inn, a conve- nient location for out of town patients. Typically, treatment takes one hour. Only a local anaesthetic is used, and patients can be back at work the next day. Immediate relief from some BPH symptoms is often experienced, with further steady improve- ment over a period of several months. There is no reported instance of im- potence or retrograde ejaculation following TUMT. Medical Directors and founders of the Toronto Prostate Treatment Clinic are Drs. Roger J. Buckley, Wdliam C.F. Forder, R John D'A. Honey and Michael A. Robinette, Ms. Kathi Kerr is Clinical Coor- dinator. OHIP does not yet cover the $5,000 treatment cost.

Your Investments taz:En cs�gf_ h. European Gov't Bonds 100% RRSP Eligible With interest rates having undoubtedly bottomed in the U.S., and bonds becoming a speculative immestrnent in Canada, more and more Canadians are looking to Europe for better and more secure returns. Interest rates normally bottom with the U.S. presidential election and now that the U.S. economy is picking up very nicely this is unlikely to be an exception. Canadian interest rates, although they tend to follow U.S. rates, still have morn to go lower, and it would help our fledgl ing recovery if they did. However, with our uncertain political future, one never knows when the next speculative attack on our cur- rency is going to occur and again drive our interest rates sharply upward. Since long bonds move in the opposite direction to interest rates this makes the Canadian bond market impossible to predict at this time with any mer' of may- Thus my assertion that long Canadian bonds, even the government of Canada variety, have become a speculative investment unless you plan to keep them until maturity. European interest rates, on the other hand, are still closer to their highs, perhaps where Canadian rates were two years ago. Thus not only can one get a better rate of return in Europe, but by locking in now at present high rates, as the interest rates dechne the resale value of the bonds will go up. With most of Europe either in recession or slipping in that direction there's lots of pressure in Europe for lower interest rates. So if you missed the three year bull market in Canadian government bonds, as witnessed by the spectacular three year performance figures of virtually all the bond mutual fronds, now's your chance to cash in on Europe. But you say, where does this RRSP eligibility come in? We're only allowed 18% foreign content. Quote simply, Canada is one of 150 leading nations who guarantee the World Bank. Therefore World Bank Bonds have always been deemed RRSP eligible even if they're denoted in Deutche marks, Swiss francs or any other cur- rency. For most people the best and safest way to follow this strategy is through a professionally managed mutual fund following this philosophy. The fust to do so, and my favourite for this purpose, is the Global Strategy Diver- sified Bond Fund. Up 21.4 % for the year ended November 30th, 1992, and invested by no less a name than Rothschild International of London, England, this fund also hedges the portfolio back Canadian and U.S. currency to minimize the foreign exchangerisk. Available without acquisition fee, in my opinion, this investment offers the best potential with the least risk, for RRSPs or otherwise, for the 2nd year in a row.

If the answer is yes you may have a rare but very serious illness called PBC (Primary Biliary Cir- rhosis) . the most common reason for liver transplan- tation. PBC is so rare that. according to the National Commission on Orphan Diseases. patients may suf- fer one to six years before accurate diagnosis. Even with an accurate diagnosis a patient may receive inappropriate care. Few doctors will ever see a single case of PBC in a life time of medical practice. Little wonder they know so little Even highly respected specialists can have a self confidence far exceeding their medical expertise. Being well in- formed means you may save your own life. PBC is not related to alcohol but commonly thought to be an auto- immune condition. It pro- gresses inexorably to%wds liver failure and is ten times more frequent in %•omen than men. Symptoms can be vague and intermittent. Very often friends, families, employers and doctors con- sider complaints to be "all in the mind". More than one person has read ar ticles like this, taken it to their doctor, and been diagnosed with PBC. Symptoms, in addition to fatigue and itching, may in- clude one or more of dry eyes and or dry mouth. dark urine, pale stools, fre- quent indigestion or nausea• palms mottled with red of pink blotches, sore joints, bone pain. easy briusing or bleeding. )am - dice )yel o%vig of the skin or eyes) or darkening of the skin resembling a tan. A complete physical ex- amination may reveal other tell tale signs. Having the above symp- toms does not mean you have PBC. Liver function tests done on a simple Wood sarnpie will quickly dieter r ine if further testing is warranted. If your liver function is abnormal then a fiver biopsy, and the sooner the better, will help con- firm or reject a diagnosis Of PBC.

A SASE t Self Ad- dressed Stamped Envelope) or small dona- tion to help defray costs is not necessary but certainly appreciated. Operated by and for PBC patients, the PBC Patient Support Net- work grew because pa- tients. families and friends needed to reach out to others affected by this rare condition. The Network works with and gathers in- formation from major medical centres, doctors and patients in 14 coun- tries. Pet Identification System The Scarborough Animal Centre is encouraging pet owners in the city to use a new pet identification system designed to return pets to their owners safely and quickly.

A free baby and toddler clothes swap will also be available during all meetings. For more information, call Beverley weekdays during business hours at 777-3305 and during even- ings and weekends at 667-1407. linked together to help return lost pets. Through PetNet, pets are permanently identified with a tiny microchip which is about the size of a grain of rice. It is placed just under the loose skin between the animal's shoulder blades. The microchip identifies the pet and its owner. This information is stored in the PetNet system for access by public and private animal shelters, rescue groups and veterinarians, enabling pets to be return- ed to their owners. The PetNet procedure is less painful than a routine vaccination and will last for the lifetime of the pet. The cost for the service is $a plus tax and is a one- time fee. rank and file, in coopera- tion with the Ontario Chamber of Commerce, this opportunity for dialogue has been designed for Mayors, Reeves, Police Service Board members and the interested Public. Forums and presenta- tions will cover such topics as Equity Hiring, The Use of Force, The Role of the Media, Gang Violence and a View of Policing in the Year 2000. Police and civilian ex- perts from the United States, Canada and Europe have been booked to pro- vide insight that will be in- valuable for a Province poised to make changes to the institution of Policing that is basic to our democratic freedom.

The Way I See It by Paul R. Purcell, Bank of Montreal Corrxnunity Area Manager - Scarborough South Creative coetribution strategies can betp y.0 put mare it to yew KILSP Every year, many Canadians fail to take maximum ad- vantage of tbeir RRSPs simply because they cut t fid the cash to contribute. The result is that they may lose an op- portunity to build tax-deferred savings for the future There are. however. ways to ensure that you make your maximum allowable RRSP contribution every year. Gsod reasons to borrow Borrowing to make your RRSP contribution can make good sense. To illustrate. let's say that the March 1st con- tribution deadline is just a few weeps away. and that you're entitled to contribute $3,000 to your RRSP But you find that you've only got about W-000 in cash. Should you borrow the extra $1.060 - Sometimes it can be to your benefit to borrow to make your RRSP contribution. In fact. by doing so you could save for your retirement and have a tax deduction against cur- rent income. Over time. the interest earned on your RRSP contribution could outweigh the interest on your RRSP loan. .Many financial institutions have RRSP loan programs where you can borrowat prime. Arid often. approval for an RRSP loan is instant - you just need to apply. Even more convenient is the flexible repayment schedules most institutions offer to those borrowing to make an RRSP contribution. By choosing a 90 -day deferral on your first repayment you can use the proceeds from your tax refund to pay down your loan - sometimes you can even pay off your RRSP loan in just one payment. Continuous contributions Borrowing your RRSP contribution can make sense if you're caught short of cash at the last minute. But why wait till the last minute to make next vear's contribution. An easier way to contribute to your RRSP is through regular. smaller amounts throughout the year. Some financial institutions can even arrange to have regular contributions deducted automatically from your account, And, you can usually choose when and how often you want to contribute to your RRSP. In fact, if your payroll is directly deposited to your bank account, your RRSP con- tributions can be timed to coincide with your payroll so you don't have to worry about putting money into your account for your RRSP. But convenience is only one reason for setting up a con- tinuous contribution )or purchase) plan. A more important benefit is that you'll get a head start on accumulating sav- ings in your RRSP. The most important strategy of all... These are just a few of the strategies that you can use which may help to reduce your taxes while you generate more savings for your retirement.

January 20, 1993 (Bill Watt's Worlds AT THE OPERA: Humperdinck's Hansel and Gretel must sureh• be to opera what Tchaikov- skv's Nutcracker is to ballet. Both are superbly crafted works to be enjoyed by the sophisticated yet each reaches out and touches children. Just as the Nutcracker is the introduction to ballet for most children. so too should Hansel tend Gretel be a benisoned introduction for the young to opera. and the more so in a production such as that by the Cana- dian Opera Company cur- rently in repertoire at The O'Keefe. The story is simple and too well known for synopsis here. The music is fluid, almost florid and is a gen- tle caress to the ears. To this. the C. 0, C. has added a set design by Beni Mon- tresor (%-ell named) and lighting design by Stephen Ross that gtate bedazzle. To say it's art deco sur- realistic is too simplistic: to say that it's sumptuous is to overstate. Let it best be said that the forest's neon fluorescent strawi>er•- nes are all of a piece with the over all production. There are some nice directorial touches, too, by director and co - choreographer Ross Perry including Hansel and Gretel's first entrance It's from the sides of the theatre. not the stage wings. And, they're accom- panied by their forest friends. the dancing bears. Yes. dancing bears. Given the sheer physical appeal of the production i one really must ex- perience the cubistic candy castle') your writer stands in danger of seeming to be gtvuhR short shrift to the singers and that simply won't do Mezzo-soprano Kimberly Barber in a britches role as Hansel is paired with soprano Abbie F urmansky as Gretel. They do well together and perfectly evoke the pre -adolescence of the role and do it while singing so sweetly as to make one believe that the angels truly will watch over them in their slumbers. Heather Thomson and Allan Monk are the parents. The roles are relatively small but are sung with the suitable authority of parenthood. Monica Whicher and Valerie Gonzalez in virtual walk ons (dance ons?) as the Sandman and Dew - Fairy respectively perform their roles as more than mere divertissements. Steven Cole in a cross over role as the Witch is hilarious in his acting. im- pressive with his singing. Of course. there is the chorus of children beautifully prepared by Gary Wedow. Grizzled veteran that we are. the sound of children's voices lifted in song still makes us swallow tears, as we did on opening night. Conductor Stuart Bed- ford wrong every sweet nuance out of the score whole never once making it sound strained or sac- charine. Come to that, sac- charine would be un- thinkable in Hansel and Gretel. And. it wahid be un- thinkable that any opera lover would eschew this productiort. It's simply too precious to testy. Take a little one with you and dou- ble your pieas�ae. DINNER THEATRE: Atter the house lights dimmed on opernng ott3M of Snapshot Productions of Montreal's A Tribute to Around and About Your Dining & Entertainment Guide Broadway at the Limelight Dinner Theatre, one suf- fered a momentary feeling that the show about to un- fold was going to be church basement glitz. It's anything but. It's a fast paced cracking good revue that deserves a long nun. So what was the unease of the opening number? Well, you see, the tribute draws from the shows Dreamgirts, Fiddler on the Roof. Miss Saigon, Is There Life After High School?, A Chorus Line, Les Miserables. Chess. Phan- tom of the Opera. Evita and Cats. Knowledgeable readers ,will note that four of the ten shows are by Andrew Llovd-Webber. The gentleman is an undoubted genius of show business: so much so that he rations his melodic output, in a calculated manner• to about one or two hum- mable songs per stow. For hic ultimate success he relies upon spectacle. Cats is perhaps his weakest score and it was a selection of four songs from it that began the salute. Even the talented ensem- ble, about which. more later. couldn't do mucic, on the unall Limelight stage. with Jellicle Cats and Rum Tuan Tugger was almost an embarrassment. what was supposed to be spirited movement appeared almost laboured. However. when the big solo number. Mem'ry was performed. one knew that the ensemble had things in proper perspective and could settle in to enjoy a HERITAGE Hu:HI.I(:HTti fine evening of music and dance. There are only six performers - four singer dancers and two musicians -but oh my, how they can entertain with good singing and dancin& appropriate costuming and effective lighting. At this point, some are probably remarking that a revue made up of Broad- way hits couldn't possibly miss. Not so, keno sabe, not so at all. What frequent- ly happens in such an endeavour is one of two things. Either the numbers are treated with so much respect that they lose vitality of presentation or the performers throw technical caution to the winds in an exuberant display of self satisfaction that does nothing for an au- dience. The troupe performing A Tribute To Broadway doesn't make either error. It knows its strengths and capitalizes on them to make the songs work for them and not vice versa. (That's why John Bar- rymore was such a good ac- tor. He rightly made his material worst for him. Both were better for it.) So are all the numbers in this show. Ctimplinnerts go out to Andr# Boileau, Richard Charette, Naomi Emmerson and Jean Elliot Manning, in alphabetical order, for their singing and dancing that put new life into some songs that might have been treated as old chestnuts. Our salute. too. for Ann Marie Leonard and James Huggins for fine musical support. Only the exigencies of space prevent us from more detail of production. We hope to address that in a future column. We also intend to see the show again. It should be around for quite some time. It's good stuff. THEATRE NOTES: The two most eagerly awaited theatrical events of 1993 are unquestionably the openings of the new Mirvish theatre, built primarily to house the Canadian premiere of Miss Saigon and the Notch York Performing Arts Centre with a new Harold Prince production of Show Boat. Casting is not yet com- plete for either but here's something of interest to theatre buffs about the former. Lea Salonga who created the principal role in the original London production crossed the Atlantic with it and has been playing it at the Broadway Theatre. However. she has now swit- ched over to the Imperial Theatre where she is play- ing Eponine in the same producers' production of Les Miserabl s. It's an ex- cellent example of talent over tradition in casting granted, but it seems a carious motive. Could it be that the young lady is being rested in a relatively easier role in preparation for her return to Miss Saigon. . .in its Canada= premiere, Meanwhile, two more roles have been cast for Show Boat. Robert Muse The little railroad that could Follo%vinathe drinking gourd to freedom CHATHAM, OOT. I") — What Canadian railroad transported 31).(10X) travellers without a l(co- moti%e or track.' If you knew that the Vnder- ground Railroad. which operated in between IS30 and ISN)_ was the fanciful c(xle name for a net- work of sv mpathetic people w ho helped ,laves escape to free- dom in Canada, then you may also know that one of the princi- pal conductors of that "railroad" was a former slave named Harriet Tuhman. The "tracks" of the Under- ground Railroad were the aholi- tionists who sheltered slaves along a winding route that stretched from the deep South to the Canadian border. Harriet Tubman used St. Catharines, Ontario as her base and she made more than 15 trips to the South between 1851 and 1858. rescuing more than 3(x) slaves. including her own elderly parents. Her daring accomplishments and the inspiration she provided to others were not appreciated by American slave owners and the Southern states placed a &300)0 bounty on her head. In 1851) the U.S. Congress passed a Fugitive Slave Law• which made any northerner caught harbouring or helping a slave liable to a fine of $1.000 and possible impriu►nment. Sympathizers offered shelter in barns and house: called "%ta- tions." The men and women. white and black. Canadian and Amen:an. who operated this secret network of escape were its "agent%' or "conduclort." Slaves were concealed by daN and conducted to the next station h% night, travell in,, an%w'here from Ah r six to 20 miles under the cover r R i of darkness. The escapees struggled through wilderness brush on foot. They avoided travelled roads and lit no cooking fires which might attract professional slave catchers who were notorious for their cruelty. Few had a compass to guide them. Thev followed the "drink- ing gourd" in the skN. the Big Dipper which pointed the way north to Canada. where slavery had been officially abolished in 1833. One of the slaves to fired a new home in Canada was Josiah Hen- son, who gained fame as the model for the title character in Har- riet Beecher Stowe's best-selling 1851 novel. "Uncle Tom's Cabin." Unlike the fictional slave pro- tagonist who was. beaten to death bti his matter. Henson escaped trom the Kentucky plantation where he had been subjected to inhuman treatment. In 1830. he gathered a parcel of foxxf and all the money he had (25 cent.) and fled north with his wife and tour children. With other fugitives, Hen - %o n established a settlement called Dawn Inow Dresden, Ontario). In 18.39 abolitionists in Boston published a 76 -page pamphlet he wrote entitled "The Life of Josiah Henson, formerly a slave, Now an Inhabitant of Canada which is believed to have inspired Harriet Beecher Stowe. Canadian acceptance of black refugees was something of an affront to the United States, and served notice of the emerging nation's independence. Civil rights champions such as "Globe" editor George Brown offered support through the Anti - Slavery Society, however, dis- crimination was wide -spread despite the abolitionists. Watch for the Heritage Minutes on your local television station. For more infnrmation shout the Heritage Project call 1-MM-567-IM7 Throughout the 1850%, Mary Ann Shadd, a black teacher who was acts%e in the anti. slaver} movement, edited the "Prorinriul Freenuot" in which she crusaded for racial equality and desegregation. Her father. Abraham. became the first black to hold public office in British North America when he was elected to a town council in 1859. Although many refugees suf- fered from the effects of Canadian prejudices, the intolerable oppres- sion of slavery saw the Under- ground Railroad flourish. As Shadd wrote in a pamphlet entitled "Norex of Canada West" which she published as a guide to black settlers: "No settled country in America offers stronger induce- ments to coloured people. The general tone of society is healthy. and there is increasing anti -slavery sentiment." When the Civil War broke out in the United States, many of the refugees returned to fight for the North which had abolished slavery. The legacy of the Under- ground Railroad is one of toler- ance. compassion and bravery. Its spirit is epitomized in the spiritual song "Follow the Prink- ing Gourd": "So long old mas- lerd Don't come after med I'm heading north to Canada/ Where everyone is free."

Now Mark Jacoby and Soprano Rebecca Luker have been cast in the roles of Gaylord and Magnolia. Mr. Jacoby has, among other accomplishments travelled with the national company of The Mystery of Edwin Drood and Toronto - nuns might remember him from the show's ap- pearance at The O'Keefe. He is presently playing the title role in Phantom of the Opera in New York after having played it in the na- tional company. Miss Luker has starred on Broadway as Christine in The Phantom and crated the role of Lily in The Secret Garden.

Thanks to Richard Flohil, we were privileged to join recording industry movers and shakers at it. Her music and that of her group requires little com- ment from us other than to remark that it's an exciting and compelling blend of the Celtic and Afro, to our ears anyway. Here are, however, a few tangential observations. Her violinist is straight out of American Gothic yet his electric violin is decorated in psychodelia. And, surely there is an in- congruity in smokers hav- ing to go for a smoke outside -outside! -a theatre under the auspices of and named after DuMaurier tobacco products. Only in Canada you say? Bloody ridiculous! FAST EXIT: "For thy sake tobacco, I would do anthing but die." Charles Lamb. Fair enough one supposes but why expel others to cold night winds that might kill just as easily?

Four Shelter Committee For Consultation Project The Four Shelter Com- mittee, comprised of the Directors of the four shelters and outreach pro- grams for abused women in Northumberland, Peter- borough, Victoria and Haliburton Counties and the Region of Durham as well as their respective Ministry of Social and Community Services (MCSS ) Program Super- visors, announced that Rander and Associates has been selected to undertake a community consultation project - The plain objective of the community consultation is to identify local priorities and barriers to service for women at risk of being vic- tims of violence. The needs of ethno-cultural women, rural women, Anishnaabee-kwewag (Native Women), and women with a disability are to be given special em- phasis in an effort to gather information on strategies that may better address the needs of abused women n from diverse backgrounds. Rander & Associates is a highly skilled consulting team which reflects this diversity of women. in- cluding women who have addressed issues of abuse m their personal lives, as well as in their professional work. The consultation will in- volve the four counties of Northumberland, Peter- borough, Victoria and Haliburton, and the Region of Durham. A combination of interviews and focus groups will be used with local service providers, past and potential victims of violence, and groups and organizations representing ethno-cultural women, rural women, Native women and women with a disability. The process will allow women to speak in their own words and in their own languages about their needs. Women par- ticipating in a focus group or interview will be assured of complete con- fidentiality, and will be compensated for child care and transportation costs. Cultural interpreters, specifically trained to deal with issues of violence against women. will be pro- vided for women who speak languages other than English. - The consultation will focus on knowledge of and experiences with existing services. need for and bar- rios to service. strategies to improve service delivery. and women's will - bigness to participate in an ongoing process of pitann- ing.

"In recent years, almost 900 plants in Ontario have permanently closed, yet none of the history of these working people and their plants has been documented for historical record," said Swarbridk. "This project will ensure that an important part of this community's in- dustrial and labour history will not disappear too." The project will be run by a Heritage Committee made up of members of the union, retirees and David Sobel, a labour historian. This group will be conduc- ting interviews and ar- chival research, and ex- pects to launch their 'booklet in early May. Over the next 20 months Wed.
