November 9, 1994 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Get Out & Vote by Bob Watson 'text Mon. Nov. 14th citizens in each municipality in On- tario will have the chance to vote for members of local council, school boards and public utilities. It is an impor- tant day because this is the one chance in tluee years to ex- press your opinion on the behaviour of representatives on these local bodies. Unfortunately, over the years gone by and with a much larger population most citizens feel that this vote is not critical - and besides what difference does one vote make' This is the wrong attitude because this municipal vote is im- portant. These candidates awaiting your vote have a big affect on your life. The school trustees could adjust the education of your children in many ways. The candidates for local coun- cil also get a lot of power over vote life including your local roads, the kind of buildings which can be built in your area and a lot of other things which can affect your life and the development of vont community. It is difficult for the average voter to keep track of their representatives so it is important to get information on each candidate, analyze the group and decide which one meets your requirements as your representative. Then %then you get to the voting poll you can place your "X" in the right place - from your point of view. Democracy is a condition that many of our ancestors fought for and we should preserve this tradition. Go out and vote for the representative you want. Happy voting - and good result~' Housing Values Forecast After several years of decline, horsing vahfes in the Toronto area are finally forecast to rise marginally in 1996, says a report by Roval LePage. Statistics compiled for the 1995 Roval LePage Market Survey indicate that average resale prices will rise approximately 2% toS213.5W next year. while the number of homes sold will top 46,500, up near W 4% over 1994. "It appears that prig stabilized in 1994 in Toronto and the surrounding areas." says Gino Rornanese. Royal LePage Vice President & Regional Manager. "In fact. we actually saw house prices start to edge upward during the first and second quarters of 1994 thanks to low interest rates and attractive housing vahies. However, lagging consumer confidence levels during the latter half of the year held prices in check. By year end. projections for average prig were about i209.ono " About Voting To The Editor. On Nov. 14th a new Scarborough Public School Board will he elected. If you are satisfied with trustees who voted for a 64% pay raise under "other business" a few months after they were hired: if you are satisfied with trustees who telephone taxpayers emplovers because they voice objection to the raise: if you are satisfied with trustees who change the rules to reduce public input: if you are satisfied with trustees who allowed violence and lack of discipline to escalate until they had to take drastic action then reflect David Horrox and his gang of incumbents. If you are no longer willing to put up with the shenanigans of the trustees then vote for one of the challengers. Trustees represent us, the taxpayer. We entrust them with the future of our children. We entrust them to spend money wisely. We demand that thev don't insult and berate us. We object when they dismiss seniors who attend board meetings to protest their pay raise as having "nothing better to do but go to a free show". I encourage every voter to mark your ballot on Mon. Nov. 14th I encourage every voter to vote against their incumbent school trustee. Sincerely. Robert Coaten 1095 Neilson Rd.

Treasures From Trash Imagination, talent and odds and ends from the trash heap or a garage sale. That's all it takes to create an attractive, oneof-a-kind new piece of furniture for your home, according to Michelle Sullivan, recycler extraordimire. Working from her studio in Leaside, the artisan's whimsical and funky designs are spilling into Metro homes and shops. Nothing goes to waste! Whether it be an abandoned chest-ofdrawers, old kitchen chair, a leftover sheet of plywood or fallen limbs from a birch tree. Sullivan has the imagination to turn it into something new and a conversation piece, too. Creative recycling she calls it. Fun, functional and affordable is her philosophy. Bar stools. coffee tables. dining room chairs, bedsteads, rocking chairs. You name it and she'll create it or recycle it. Designs run the gamut from Sante Fe. to folk-ar t, nautical and formal. Even a blank wall is recyclable. Sullivan says, referring to her custom painting. "What could be more relaxing than the morning lake view from your cottage, seen vear 'round through a tompe l'oeil window at your home in the city'. Or, just imagine the warmth and ambiance radiating from a faux fireplace. complete with cat an the hearth." Speaking of cats, her Cat Station is an ingenious invention. Its two-tiered design is for people who have limited space or just plain don't like bending over to pick up the qt's dishes. Kitty easily jumps up the steps to dinner. Underneath, a drawer craftily houses tins of food. The litter tray is hidden beneath a step at the bottom, yet easily accessible to kitty and for cleaning. Perfect for the apartment dweller: decorative and functional at the same time. Wonderful to keep kitty dishes away from little children. The Scarborough native's background is equally as eclectic as her work. What began as a summer job during high school led to years of travel throughout North America and the Dominican Republic. managing concessions for a carnival. When it carne time to settle down. Sullivan refined her natural talents as an artist and carpenter. At George Brown College she earned an honours diploma in the Women in Trades and Technokhgv program. She then apprenticed in both faux paint decorating and renovations before establishing her own studio. Michelle Sullivan specializes in custom painting and creative recycling of waste materials and furniture. For free consultation appointments and estimates, telephone (416 ) 696-9813. Above is Michelle among some of her creative projects. National Drug Awareness What today is known as National Drug Awareness Week began more than 18 years ago in the Maritime provinces. It was felt that a concentrated effort of conducting and promoting educational events and messages during a designated week would attract media attention and increase the probability of reaching all Canadians. Therefore, the third week in November has been designated as National Drug Awareness Week. The East York Project of the Metro Drug Task Force initiative works to increase the community's capacity to respond to the issues related to substance abuse through community building and increased social -recreational Paying For Canada In a joint statement recently released, three social policy organizations are calling on the Federal Government to consider new national options on the financing of Canada's social safety net. The joint statement uses the Government's own figures and financial statistics comparing Canada with other countries to challenge the prevailing belief that social spending is out of control and that Canadians are overtaxed. The statement contends that the collective bonds of Canadian nationhood are at risk if new public finance strategies are not employed to preserve and improve the social security system of our country. Called "Paying For Canada: Perspectives on Public Finance and National Programs", the statement was prepared by the Child Poverty Action Group (CPAG), Citizens for Public Justice (CPJ), and the Social Planning Council of Metropolitan Toronto (SPCMT). All are independent social and economic research, policy analysis and advocacy bodies committed to principles of equity and social justice for all Canadians. "Paying For Canada" makes the case for a more accurate understanding of the soure of Canada's current fiscal crisis. Reviewing the evidence, it shows that actual spending on social programs is not and has never been out of control since the mid 1970s. Rather, unlike other countries, the federal governments did not collect sufficient revenue from 1976 to 1985 to pay for programs which Canadians wanted. In fact, those able to pay. both individuals and corporations, benefited from what amounted to a "tax holiday" as a result of a proliferation of tax concessions in this period. After falling behind in revenue collection in the late 1970s and early 1990s, Canada's debt load worsened with the high debt charges of the past decade. The joint statement points out that, although Canadians feel overtaxed, in fact. Canada's taxation levels and contributions for social security during the past two decades have been among the lowest in comparison to other western industrialized countries. There is the capacity to support and improve national programs. but Canadians have understandably lost a sense of the confection between what they pay in taxes and what they get in social security. "Paying For Canada" proposes that the Federal Government create a set of National Investment Funds which would more clearly be Canadian contributions to support for health programs, the well-being of children and families, and employment supports inchding education and training. "71tis is clearly an opportunity for the Federal Government to re-establish trust with the Canadian people that it can act positively to create a shared sense of social security," says Peter Chrtterbuck, SPCMT Executive Director. "We honestly believe that unless the current policy debate includes options such as designated national funds, an essential part of the meaning of what it is to be Canadian and So bean independent nation will be sacrificed. "All sectors must have a chance to contribute to Finance Minister Paul Martin's plans for Canada's financial stability." comments CPAG's Christa Freiler- "It is false, if not disastrous, to accept the advice of powerful tax lobbies that fiscal and national stability will be achieved through massive cuts to social programs..' "We support Human Resources Development Minister Axworthy's goal that all in Canada work together to implement 'the basic Canadian values of compassion and justice' as the foundation for responsible public policies," says Gerald Vandezande,CPJ National Public Affairs Director. "We must initiate a national action strategy that concentrates on job creation, fiscal equity, poverty elimination. and deficit reduction." "All governments. corporations, trade unions, and citizens in, do their fair share as we build an equitable, productive economy. and strengthen our social security system,..

This project is now in its second year and the development of many youth programs and activities promoting substance abuse prevention and the increase in youth participation across the Borough, attest to the success of the program. This East York project includes drug-free activities such as drop-in sports and social events: the establishment of a P.R.I.D.E. (Parents Resource Institute for Drug Education) group: and substance abuse prevention presentations. To promote Drug Awareness Week you are invited to submit ideas for a logo for the East York - Metro Drug Task Force Project. P.R.I.D.E. performances win be held at D.A.

This month, as The War sbegins to mail ad- labels to homes acmes Ontario, it is sug- gesting these commemora- tions be accompanied with a message - "Never Again!' "If ye break faith...' does not mean only to remember. It means as well that war must never happen again. We are br- inging oris message across in "Never Again!", our program to discourage war," said Cliff Chadder- ton, grief Executive Of- ficer of The War Amps. "Never Again!" was in- itiated by The War Amps when it became apparent that the lessons they had Drought Mane from war were being lost, and that up with an idealized im- pression of war from Hollywood films. The association responded by producing a series of .'Never Again!" films to educate young people about the horrors of war. Focusing an World War I and I1, and Korea, the series examines key events of these wars, including lesser-known aspects of Canada's wartime history. The message throughout is that war is a terrible, and should never happen again. The War Amps sup- ports military preparedness as a form of deterrent if necessary, but emphasizes that we must strive to avoid another global conflict.

November 9, 1994 THE NEWS/ POST Page 5 Commit To Healthy Great Lakes System Deputy Minister and Minister of Environment, Sheila Copps, tabled in the House of Commor.s Canada's response to the International Joint Com- mission's Seventh Biennial Report on Great Lakes Water Quality. "The timeliness and con - 'tent of the Response, not only demonstrates this governments commitment to meeting Canada's obligations to protect the Great Lakes, but also acknowledges the valuable role the Commission plays in keeping us on course," Minister Copps said. The Commission issued its latest report in February 1994. Canada has responded in an un- precedented time frame, as promised by the Govern- ment last spring. The Response highlights impor- tant building blocks Canada has developed to ensure a healthy and safe environment for Cana- dians. Minister Copps added, "Collectivley, the Chlorinated Substances Ac- tion Plan I, released recently, the Canada - Ontario Agreement on the Great Lakes (COA), the proposed National Toxic Substances Management policy, and the New Substances Notification Regulations, show that we Buddhist Sculptures In ROM Collections After at least 70 years apart, two important Bud- dhist monk sculptures made of marble and dating back from the 8th century A.D. have been reunited and are on display at the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM), thanks to the keen eye of one of the curators in the ROM's Far Eastern Until the Royal Ontario Musetan succeeded in ac- quiring the sculpt re of a Buddhist monk at a recent auction in Hong Kong, it had not been recognized as being related to a well- known Tang dynasty sculpture which has been in the ROM collections since ISM. But Dr. Doris Dohrem- wend, associate curator in the Museum's Far Eastern department, recognized stylistic similarities bet- ween the ROM's sculpture and the sculpture in the auction catalogue. Dr. Dohrenwend noted, "Although in detail such as ezpress.i (the sculpture in the catalogue) did not loot like our monk, having a more lined and concave face, it was apparent that it was related in size, material, base and in aspects of style. Both figures are of painted mar- ble, stand about 66" (169 cm) tall and are contained in outline and commanding in outlook." Further research un- covered an archival photograph at the museum of the newly acquired monk, supporting the theory that the two figures were originally associated. To double happiness'," said Dr. Dohrenwerd. The new acquisition is finely rendered and in amazing condition - only the fingers had been broken and restored. After studying and cleaning the sculpture, museum ceramics and stone conser- vator Ewa Dziadowiec determined there is still evidence of the original painted design remaining on its surface, along with later over -painting. In Buddhist shrines and monuments, sculptures of Buddhist monks represent disciples or saints. Two Buddhist disciples, an old monk with a wrinkled visage and an unwrinkled young monk, are in- variably placed to the left and right of the Buddha. The young monk - in the museum since 1922 and known as Ananda (A-nan- da) - has now been united with the older looking monk, Kasyapa (Kash-ya- pa), acquired at a C ristie's auction. The newly acquired monk with finds from Be- quest. bequeathed in 1990 by the late Dr. Berman Herzog Levy d mil Haton The bequest was intended for the acquisition of Chinese bronzes. jades, ceramics and sculpture by the rimsetan's Far Eastern department. The monks are now on display in the museum's John David and Signy Eaton Court. are moving swiftly on many of the issues iden- tified by the IJC in recent Biennial reports." The Action Plan states that chlorinated substances found to be an- thropogenic (resulting from human activity), per- sistent, bioaccumulative and toxic will be virtually eliminated from the en- vironment. The COA sets out a strategic framework, com- plete with schedules and targets, for co-ordinated and co-operative action in the Great Lakes to the year 2000. "I want to acknowledge the central role the pro- vince of Ontario plays in the delivery of com- rriitments under the Great Lakes Agreement," Minister Copps said. The Response, transmit- ted to the IJC by the Hon_ Andr& Ouellet, Minister of Foreign Affairs, was developed in conjunction with participating federal departments and the Pro- vince of Ontario. The International Joint Commission monitors and assesses progress made under the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement. Since 1982 the Commission has reported biennially on its findings and made Tecounmendatiom to the Governments of Canada and the United States, as parties to the Agreement. 0pr AFFORDABLE Steam carpet cleaning services • cars,vans,trudc%buses • residential • commercial Cap James 292.4890 Kish 291.6219 ;i;FtJ;6 BIG OR MMU. 1W DD lT ALL.► CROSS MOVERS Offices, houses & apts.

W Prince Philip Cup Games & Dressage Sat. Nov. 12 will be a special night at the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair, with the Canadian Pony Club's National Prince Philip Cup Championships and the Volvo World Cup Dressage Canadian Finals both on the program. Teams from the Western Ontario and St. Lawrence - Ottawa Valley Regions will represent Eastern Canada, with two teams from the British Columbia Lower Mainland Region riding out of the West to challenge. The national PPG" championship is sponsored by Marlin Travel, a member of the Thomas Cook group of companies. Round one goes on Fri. Nov. 11 at The Royal. The Prince Philip Cup Games are a team competition played by Pony Clubs around the world. The Games are played by teams of five riders and rive ponies, four of whom participate in each game. All of the Games are variations on the relay race, and all are great fun for players and spectators alike. Many of the Games require the riders and ponies to run a slalom course around a series of poles from one end of the playing field to the other, where they hand-off something to the next rider on their team. In many races, riders have to vault off of and onto their ponies. There is an egg -and -spoon race, played at the trot or canter -a good way to Identify future brain surgeons (or maybe future safe-crackers). In the sack race, competitors ride their ponies halfway down the arena, get off, climb into a sack while holding the ponies and hop to the finish line while leading their ponies. Though Central Ontario did not qualify for the National "PPG" Championships this year, all three Ontario Regions are contributing ponies, equipment and officials for the championship. Pony Clubbers from Central Ontario Branches will be at the Royal to cheer on competitors in both the Prince Philip Cup Games and the Volvo World Cup Wed.

Borden B.T.I., students are ex- tremely busy doing last minute preparations. The mid -tester exams, from Nov. 4 to Nov. 9, give students the opportunity to illustrate the-skuk and knowledge they have ac- quired, and are an impor- tant part of the overall evaluation of student achievement. The reporting of marks and comments provides a perfect chance for parents and guardians, with cur- rent evaluation in hand, to have input in the progress of the students - A very important ele- ment lfwent of school life, and of school success for Sir Robert L Borden students, is daily attendance which is wholeheartedly encourag- ed by teachers and the ad- ministrative staff. Every teacher takes at- tendance at every class and if there are unexplain- ed absences from classes, action in the form of phone calls home occurs im- mediately. Monitoring of attendance is a cotrunit- ment of the school and Borden personnel thank parents and guardians for their on-going assistance and support in helping students attend school regularly. Peter Angelow, Audio Visual Specialist with Borden, has been with the Scarborough Board for 2D years providing his technical expertise.

Teachers call on Peter Angelow to videotape classes when students ae doing presentations or are involved in theatrical pro- ductions. The videotapes are then used as teaching tools.

A Page 10 THE NEWS! POST Wed. November 9, 1"4 Bill Watt's Worlds ON YOUR TOES: As oft repeated here, the Eleventh Commandment is never Take Thyself Too Damned Seriously. The National Ballet has begun its 94x95 Season at The O'Keefe with a mixed program of three short works; two of them, < premieres. The choreographer of one of them broke the Eleventh Commandment; the other didn't. One was successful; the other wasn't. Read on. The centre piece of the program is the world premiere of James Kudelka's Spring Awaken- ing- In an evident attempt to recapture the magic of his earlier work, Washington Square, he has conceived a ballet about puritanical sexual repression and its effect. The ballet is based upon the 1931 play of the same title by Frank Wedekind. He was a muchly over rated Ibsen wannabe who substituted sensationalism for sen- sitivy. Mr. Kudelka, sadly. has been faithful to his in- spiration. So, audiences are expos- ed to much angst expressed in onanism. violent copula- tion that approdhes rape and implied (and apparent- ly inevitable) homosexuali- ty. That it's dramatic is undeniable but whether it's entertaining must be the decision of each viewer and what he or she expects tram ballet. The choreography is vigorous but without grace; much in the manner of rock measured against Might classics. Michael J. Baker's original score is emminently serviceable even with a betinotif that reminds one of Leo Robin's Louise in the tempo of a sailor's hornpipe. Robert Tewsley and Robert Conn, two of the company's brighter young tights. do well as troubled adolescents. Sarah Green is achingly poignant as the troubled teenager who dies as the result of a botched abortion and Jennifer Fournier is splendid as a free thinking. tarty young scamp. The best, or most en- joyable to watch, dancing is given to Karen Kain and Rex Harrington in a sprited pas de deux. Spring Awakening is no doubt well intended but by breaking the Eleventh. Mr. .4 Kudelka has produced only a metaphorical golden calf. Jerome Robbins' The Concert obeyed it and is a joyous, downright funny and balletic work in a com- pany premiere. A concert pianist - here, the NBOC's Gary Arbour in a fine comic turn - is presenting a Chopin pro- gram. The onstage au- dience of performers listening to it are transported into flights of comic fantasies. The actual theatre audience is reduc- ed into well nigh helpless laughter all the while ad- miring the comic dexterity of the dancers. The Concert is an ensem- ble piece and so, the singl- ing out of individual dancers is difficult. One must mention, however. the hilarity of gorgeous Margaret Mman and the clockwork comedy of regal Gizella Witkowsky. Almost unbelievable. And, it's all done within the discipline of the dance. The evening had begun with Balanchine's Diver- timento No. 15 to the music of W. A. Mozart. Mr. Balan- chine might well have been 1'enfant terrible du temps but his works now have the patina of familiarity and are much to be enjoyed especially when danced by a company such as The Na- tional. Watch particularly the Second Variation as danced by Martine Lamy and the ensemble Andante. Quite enchanting. Two out of three isn't bad. Even the odd one out isn't without the courtesy of one's custom but remember the Eleventh Commandment. O\ STAGE: It was McKenzie Porter who first mooted the Shaw Festival. He has also allow- ed that a festival devoted to the works of Noe Coward would not be amiss. Your Coiumn has always been in ago eement with the Major and is now more en- thusiastic than ever after viewing Hay Fever as presented by the Canadian Stage Company at the St. Lawrence Centre. The story is familiar. (It was reworked by Gaunant British as a forties quickie and re -titled Quiet Weekend). Four members of an eccentric and artistic - more of less - family each invite a friend for the weekend. They don't tell each other. Well. this is Coward after all and the four invitees don't "get it on" at all let alone with their respective innvitors. Truth to tell, they're all on- ly too eager to leave the fust morning and when they do, their shallow hosts scarce notice the depar- ture. GREAT GIFTS at The Sugar Plum Fair Casa Loma, Toronto Nov. 17, 18, 19 1994 For information call (416) 962-3419 A proiett of dw Scho uship fund Comindlee of The wtxwW sate+ Sd wal L-5 P. 1,_ .1 Around and About,- Your Dining &Entertainment Guide The plot, convoluted as it is, doesn't really matter. The enjoyment of the play lies in the characters and their brittle lines. (Coward always acknowledged that his early inspiration was H. H. Munro who wrote under the name of Saki). There's the pseudo lady ,of the house who is a retired actress in the grand manner modelled after Laurette Taylor. Fiona Reid plays her to the hilt and leaves one bleeding over her rapier delivery. (Don't criticize the forego- ing; we're trying to write like Saki). Then there are Benedict Campbell. Ben Carlson and Elizabeth Marmur as father. son and holy terror daughter. The first is a silly ass; the second, a callow shallow type and the third, a spoiled brat of superb poitrine. The guests are Ted Atherton as a muscle bound twit. Robert Haley as a befuddled "dipiornatist", Nancy Palk as a vamp to end all vamps and the delightful Paulin Gillis as an airbead with great legs. Of course. there's the mandatory grumps' maid played con- vincingly here by Alan Shields. Marti Maradon directs with firmhness and no one goes over the top though the temptation must be enormous. Certainly, the temptation is strong for your reviewer to lapse into puffery over this comedy of non man- ners but we too are strong. Anyway. this production doesn't need it. Simply go see Hay Fever. You'll enjoy it. Here's something else to enhance you: pleasure. We have a prime for the first per son to advise us - no telephone calls please - whence the title Hay Fever was derived. Excuse us now while we_ change the tapes on our ribs bruised from laughing so hard. HIGH Cs: In what seems to be a season for premieres. the Canadian Opera Company is presenting its company premiere of W. A. Mozart's seldom performed Il Re Pastore - The Shepherd King - at the Elgin. At the age of 19. Trazom, as he signed himself in per- sonal correspondence, composed the work as a gift to the children of Em- press Maria Theresa. (Even at such a young age he knew the value of political offerings). In recognition of its raison d'etre, this produc- tion is presented in the manner of a nursery story romance and employs members of the C.O.C.'s children's chorus as well as the principals. It's a clever idea and not completely unacceptabe. By singing it in English, however, the in- tended light serenata has become glorified Gilbert and Sullivan. That's not bad mind you but it's not opera. Still, the melodious music survives and merely to bear it well played and sung is a tonic. The Shepherd King has been cast as a britches role and assigned to soprano Brenda Harris. It's likely just coincidence that some of her earlier songs are performed in front of a stylized tree painted lavender). Her voice is pleasant and more than equal to the intricacies of the score but her acting lacks the vigour that one associates with such a role. Monica Whicher is the (shepherd's true love. She too sings well but lacks the power of expression that Metastasio's libretto so clearly indicates. Mezzo soprano Laura 'clicker is properly sen- suous as the daughter of a decadent household and is a splendid counterpoint (not in the musical sense sillee!) for tenor Gordon Gietz who plays the con- quering king's aide to the manner born The strongest perfor- mance is that of tenor Mark Dubois as Alessan- dro, the king. He's cable of bearing despite the foppish costume designed for the role and sterling of voice ... as always. Daniel Beckwith con- ducts with feeling ... perhaps too much. It's pro- bably not this fault that the singers are not always understood. Opera should never be sung in English but if it is. then the accom- paniment should not be that of a full orchestra. This production if 13 Re Pastore is an enjoyable evening of theatre as it is but, performed in its original language, it would be so much better. OVER THE WATER: For an unusual theatrical experience this Saturday evening you should be at the Algonquin Island Club House ( Ward's Island Ferry at 7:30). That's where the Shadowland Theatre, in association with Whale Loaf Theatre ( where do these names come from'!) zi presenting Dirty Rats. With masks, puppetry and special visual effects you'll see a rat's eye view of consumer greed in which the dirty rat scavengers might well be the only truly responsible citizens. Come to think of it, the ferry might not be required to get there. The harbour is so polluted, you could pro- bably walk across it. FOR THE LADIES: With the approach of the Holiday Season, some ladies might want to con- sider one of the You'Nque seminars. You'Nique of- fers fresh new approaches to weight, shape and self acceptance. They're in- tended for the 25% of adult women who are considered to be larger than the norm, whatever the deuce that's supposed to be. The next session is this Saturday so it's not too late to call (416) 964-0292 for fur- ther information. Good luck. FAST EXIT: The stupidity of some millionaires continues to mystify one. Consider the NHL players who, as we go to press, are still on strike. Why strike? Why not simply reorganize as a roller blade league? The owners could do nothing about it and the fans will miss only the ar- tificial ice chips. It all seems to simple. A Williamburg Christmas :At Civic Garden Centre Special holiday decorations have long been associated with a Williamsburg Christmas.

Ltraveli What's New In France France Prepares Itself for Travel in the 21st Century After the engineering feat of the Eurotunnel come TGV train stations in France's two biggest cities' airports, forever linking in- tercontinental travel with domestic connections. These are the trains i grande vitesse that travel at over 300 kmlhr and traverse most of France. The improvements made to Paris' CDG airport make it the most integrated airport in Europe in terms of inter- modal transportation. Paris CDG Airport now has TGV Train Station Open as of this November and located at the heart of the airport, the TGV and RER station is a result of cooperation bet- ween the airport manage- ment company "Akroports de Paris" and the French Railways. The Charles de Gaulle train station is destined to become an in- tegral element in the TGV network. The RER, the urban rail system which connects Paris and its suburbs to the airport, now feeds directly into the new TGV station, eliminating the creed to take a shuttle buss to the RER station from the air- port. A light n*tro called SK" which is a cable cabin system, connects the train statim with variolas parts of the airport thereby reducing the amount that travellers must walk. Locating the TGV stations in the airports elirmnates the need to go into the city centre in order to catch trains, thereby saving passengers time and money - The travel centre building is a contemporary structure where travellers emerge from underground in an atrium. There are five distinct levels beneath two vast glass panels measur ing 200 m. A new 400 room Sheraton hotel will be located at terminals 2 & 3. Keeping in mind the importance of being able to explain all modes of transportation to travellers, an information pole was built which is visi- ble from all directions and offers the schedules of all modes of transportation. For its first year of opera- tion, the station forecasts 320,000 commuters and by 1990 more than 1.7 million annually. Lyon-Satolas TGV Station Opened Jane 18, 1994 The opening of the new TGV train station at the Lyon-Satolas airport will facilitate travelling for many people and especial- ly Canadian skiers heading off to the French Alps. TGV trains depart Lyon-Satolas for Aime, Bourg -St - Maurice and MoOtiers, from where skiers need on- ly take a shuttle bus to their ski resort. Full Speed Ahead for Rail Europe's France Passes Rail Europe has recently announced that the sales of their France Passes have increased by 20% over the same time frame last year. The line of France pass products includes Rail passes, Fly and Rail, Fly, and the Rail & Drive and offer transportation solu- tions for everyone visiting France.
