Ontario's safari surprise ROCKTON, Ont. Even though there's no jungle, the movie "Burn Free" could easily have been filmed right here in "deepest, darkest Ontario." The setting is the great African Lion Safari, a 500- acre, drive-through wildlife park 20 miles northwest of the steel city of Hamilton. Here the big eats roam at will without having to stalk a zebra or anything else for their dinner. But the zebras are here and so are the lightning - swift elands, along with tigers and cheetahs, giraffes, rare white rhinos, elephants, and dozens of other crea- tures from the exotic animal kingdom including, of course, troops of frolicking baboons.

Aug. 20,1980 PICKERING qa 0 S Susan Slack Has Her Own Company This month's Business and Professional Women's Club Profile highlights Susan Slack, a member of the Public Relations Committee and responsible for distribution of the Club's NETWORK. Susan is a graduate of Albert College, Belleville and secretary of their national Alumni Association. She resides in Lookout Point in Pickering and is General Manager of the W. Slack Agency, Occidental Life and President of her own company, Word Processing Services. All this began a year ago when Susan stopped commuting to a large firm ,n Toronto where she had ,.corked for eleven years nd. most recently, was Co- ordinator of Secretarial Services. She wanted to get to know the area in which she lived and spend more time with her family so decided to make the switch. Susan says she ruds her work in Pickering has much less pressure and she likes her work atmosphere now as opposed to working for a large company with a heavily structured work environment. She enjoys getting to know the local people and the general friendliness of a smaller town. Having trained other people for executive Honours At recent piano examinations held at the Royal Conser- vatory of Music, University of Toronto, two students of Helen Novak of Pickering, passed with honours. Above ( top Photo) is student Nutan Sawh from West Shore who pissed with first class ht m the grade one examination. At right ( bottom photo) is Colleen Brown from West Rouge who received honours in her grade one examination. duced North American wild- life species such as bison, deer, elk and black bear - all sharing the same uneaged freedom as the big cats. If you're a true lover of nature, then this is your goal. Unlike most zoos, here you are surrounded with animals roaming in their own designated reserves. And, since the monkeys seem to be the most gregar- ious of the animals here, they appear to have the run of the park. First, you'll see just one or two, but soon an army of them appears, and some may wind up perched on the roof of your car. If you stick rigidly to an earlier briefing and reminder signs not to feed the animals and keep car windows closed at all times, a visit to African Lion Safari is the next best thing to a trip to East Africa for getting a close look at big game. While many visitors elect to ride in their own cars, most prefer an - ed bus whose driver knows the origin, characteristics, along with the care and feed- ing of every animal in sight. The park also operates a London -style, double-decker bus in which you might find an 18 -foot tall giraffe press- ing his inquisitive nose at your window. Among the rarer animals you'll spot on the trail are such new acquisitions as the Tibetan yak, Japanese sitka deer, Bactrian camel and In- dian black buck antelope. Since it opened in 1969, close to five million visitors from across Canada, the U.S. and abroad have come to enjoy the park's thousand or more animals and birds. The Birds of Prey Centre, a new attraction with a wide variety of eagles, falcons, hawks and vultures, holds three shows daily. The star is a bullet -headed peregrine falcon, which zaps its "quar- ry" in 175 mph dives. Any- one who isn't sharply atten- tive might miss the whole act. The Safari park, just off Hwy. 8 between Hamilton and Kitchener, is open daily from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. during July and August, with shorter hours for the rest of the year. Even on the coldest days of winter, it's possible to watch lions, tigers and other warm-blooded animals cool- ing off in the snow. The park offers camp- grounds with complete facil- ities for campers with tents, tent trailers or motor homes. There's also a licensed out- door "Safari Oasis" for food and drink. Admission to the African Lion Safari is S4 for adults, S2 for children (ages 3-12 inclusive) and $3 for youths (13-17) and senior citizens. positions to her former job, Susan had excellent qualifications to train agents in administrative details and begin her own company, as well. The Word Processing Services enables clients to have their data stored on magnetic equipment and typing completed quickly. Susan enjoys interior decorating, reading and camping as her hobbies. The Business and Professional Women's Club allows her to meet people from Ajax. Whitby, Oshawa and her own town, Pickering. She hasn't missed a meeting since we began and often brings a guest. Susan is interested in the careers of other club members and hopes to gain insight into other professions besides her own. Susan's vitality and enthusiasm are en- couraging to the growing club. Business Women Meet The August Luncheon Meeting of the Business and Professional Women will be held on Thur. Aug. 21 at the Ranch Steak House on Commercial Avenue in Ajax. Please call Julie Trebileock's office at 683-7177 if you are unable to attend OR if you are bringing a guest. Guest speakers will be librarians, Thea Driesschen and Joanne Tate, who will be presenting a program on the use of films for education. They will be .howing the film "A Token esture". G uest speakers for the .July 18, Ajax -Pickering Business and Professional Women's Club were in- house members Julie Trebilcock and Beverley Dowling. Julie gave an outline from the vendor's point of view regarding the sale of a property. She outlined the means of evaluating a property. Usually this is done by "market data" which outlines the market value of a property given a reasonable time to sell. If, however, one owns a unique property then a "cost" or replacement value is worked out. With the aid of charts she had compiled, Julie explained the "debits or penalities" including legal and real estate fees which would be subtracted from the offer leaving the actual cash in hand to the vendor. Julie also explained the break- down of the real estate fee between the Listing and Selling brokers and agents. Beverley explained the legal intricacies of an agreement for sale or contract. She outlined the difference between an open listing, exclusive listing and a multiple service listing and advised of the importance of reading the whole contract including the fine print before signing. Page 2 THE NEWSIPOST Wed. Aug. 20, 1980 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Hospitality by Bob Watson The Scarborough -Indianapolis Peace Games are over and Hoosier hospitality was even greater this year than any previous time. The 1000 Scarborough athletes, coaches and directors headed off to Indianapolis on Aug. 8th. and by nightfall were being entertained by their counterparts in the U.S. as friends. In the opening ceremonies, Indianapolis mayor Richard Hudnut III asked for and got a tremendous ovation from the Indy folks in a "Thank You Canada" display, designed to thank us for the safe passage of six Americans from Iran by the Canadian ambasador. Scarborough dignitaries who went to Indianapolis were given the "red rug" treatment by members of the American mayor's staff - and even yours truly in the media felt its warmth. The annual event, now having completed eight years, proves that two countries' people can become fast friends, can work and play together and participate in a joint effort to mutual benefit. Of course, it would be nice if Indy wouldn't clobber Scarborough quite so decisively in the games: - but that is the whole key to this interchange - no one came back to Scarborough in other than a happy frame of mind. The friendly, rivalry is left on the field while the lasting friendships go on regardless of who wins. The thousands of hours of effort by people in both cities has proven once again that this joint city effort is really wor- thwhile. Too Bad The vote of Metro Toronto police against accepting $27,000 a year salary 43000 up) is not going to assist our men in blue with their public image. It is very unfortunate that on television news and inthe press, it appears as if all policemen in Metro Toronto are greedy and hard-nosed- Our observation is that such is not the case. Our policemen may be tough but, generally speaking, they are solid citizens who realize that taxpayers are hard pressed. The concept that an officer in Metro Toronto should be paid at least equal to the same job in Montreal is ridiculous in concept. Would any of our cops like to work on the Montreal force with its much greater crime rate, its need for two languages? We would suggest that compared to Montreal. Toronto is a much better work place for a policeman. The argument by police association representatives that if a person is good as his or her job, therefore be or she should always get the top salary, falls flat in real life. A surgeon in the Vancouver hospital might be getting quite a bit more than a surgeon in Toronto with more skill, but we doubt if either would scent out where they stand with each other. In the same way, we don't know what newspaper people in Montreal earn in salaries - and it would never crass our minds to find out, mainly because we wouldn't want to live there and would rather enjoy the Metro Toronto area. Perhaps a police officer in New York city gets more money, a veterinarian in Columbus, Ohio gels Was than his counterpart here. Who cares? Most citizens in Metro Toronto are a little surprised that a first class constable in our police force gets $27,000 a year offered to him. At $24,500 people seemed to accept it - but this new amount has most people to whom we've talked expressing their opinion that this is too much, relative to other salaries. We would suggest that the police association accept the $27,000 fast and not worry about the extra $100 to bring them up to the boys in blue in Montreal. The public is not behind them on this one. � a a a a a � a a a a a - a Today's Garbage "Today's garbage will soon be tomorrow's energy' Energy Minister - Robert Welch predicted in releasing a status report on the Province's Energy from Municipal Waste Projects. As a result of the Government's policy to increase On- tario's capacity for energy self-sufficiency, some 14 projects are currently being assessed to determine their potential to turn municipal garbage into steam or elec- tricity. If these projects go ahead, they would convert 2.2 - million tans of municipal solid waste into valuable energy PICKERING newer posf Published every Wednesday by Watson Publishing Company Limited, Est. 1950 Postal Address: Box 111, Agincourt, Ont.

Concerned About Aircraft Plant At a time when ail Governments in Metro are concerned with economic difficulties, rising costa, unemployment and lack of job opportunities, my interest is drawn to an issue that is currently before the Federal Cabinet which might threaten one of the largest industries in Metro and in the process, some 3000 jobs. The DeHaviland Aircraft located in the City of North York and a leader in the aircraft industry with over half a cen- tury of experience would by all logic be expected to produce the neve Dash 8 Aircraft. However, for unexplained reasons the Federal authorities appear to be looting elsewhere to much larger one, which looms very large in the economic future of all of Metro. It is altogether likely that many of the 3,000 workers at De Haviland are residents of Scarborough but that issue aside, it seems to me that we must ensure that this largest employer in the aircraft industry, not only remains in Metro but be permitted to expand to qualify for other new contracts. The economic stability of Metro is already threatened by Plant closings, the decline in the auto industry and resultant unemployment. We need the jobs and we need DeHaviland to grow along with Metro. establish a plant and assemble the necessary skills to produce and assemble the aircraft. Yours truly, While it might be argued this concern should be the private concern of the City of North Yat, my associate an Metro Gus Harris, Council. Mel Iastman, has convinced me the issue is a MAYOR of Scarborough Future Of The Games Now that the 1900 Moscow Olympics have finished it becomes apparent that the greatest problem facing the International Olympic Committee is the preservation of the future of the Games and m more obvious answer to that problem than the establishment of a permanent site for the Games. If the Olympic Games are a symbol of mankind to achieve and improve, it appears they are succeeding in an area which has the potential to destroy them and that is in the area of costs. In the Olympic motto of "Citius, Actius, Fortius" should be added "Pretiosus", for indeed while the athletes go faster, higher and stronger, the spectacle itself gets costlier with each succeeding Games. While this is partly the fault of inflation, it is also the result of each host country having to meet deadlines of construction for a new set of facilities and living quarters every four years. This also has the result of fewer and fewer countries, other than the super powers, being able to undertake this com- mitment. The answer, while not new, is that the Olympics must be established at a permanent international site to survive. The capital and operating costs could be financed in- ternationally by all countries on a contributing formula basis. This would also serve to remove the Games from use as a display for the nationalism of the hosting country, which is a further destructive force of the Olympic ideals. The obvious choice for the site is Greece, the originating country of the ancient games, and a country most suited by annually — the equivalent of 2.5 -million barrels of oil each year. "This represents 40 percent of the municipal solid waste now produced in Ontario. Obviously, these projects will play a significant role not only in helping us to solve the problem of what to do with the growing mounds of municipal garbage throughout this Province, but also in helping us to reach our goal of producing 35 percent of Ontario's energy by 1995", the Minister said. Since not all waste can be converted into energy economically, the Government is assessing the various projects on the following basis: 1. a secure supply of inexpensive waste must be available; 2. a dependable market for the energy must exist; and 3. the conversion technology must be proven. The total estimated cost of the projects now under con- sideration is approximately $433 -million. history and climate for this role. The International Olympic Committee must be urged to take this step not only to preserve the Olympic ideals of international friendship, understanding and goodwill, but for the very survival of the Games themselves.

West Hill 282-1113 The salad season should not be seasonal. Salads can "star" year round. Sum- mertime does bring an abundance of fresh fruits and vegetables and deserves special "reviews". A salad can be the "first act" to a meal, the "sup- porting cast" to a meal, the "encore" to a meal or even be the complete "per- formance". Now to "set the stage" for the "cast" of salad per- formers. Even the simplest of salads must be prepared with loving care and attention to details to be a success. Try different salad greens, there are so many in todays markets. Greens must be fresh and crisp. The salad dressing must be a perfect blend of seasonings selected to make the salad distinctive. Experiment with different vinegars in the dressing and yogurt or sour cream in place of mayonnaise. This is so easy to do using the de- hydrated mixes for salad dressings available from Lawry's Foods of Canada. Garnishes finish "dress- ing" a salad. Give them special attention. A garnish an be as simple as a sprinkle of coconut. a sprig of parsley or a topping of clopped nuts. With today's interest in nutrition, salads "STAR" in each menu. Depending on which greens. vege- tables, meats or fruits are added, the vitamins and minerals vary greatly con- tributing to a balanced diet. No matter how nutritious a salad is, if it does not have eye appeal and tempting flavour, it will be a "flop". With the flavour variety of 10 dry salad dressing mixes manufactured by Lawry's, there is bound to be one to receive "curtain calls" from your family. Deliciously different the "Performing Tuna Salad" is flavour highlighted with Old Fashion French Dressing Mix. This is a refreshing blend of herbs, spices and seasoning which will draw a family "ap- plause". Try it as a marinade for vegetables, meats and poultry. Featured in the "cast" of ingredients are budget minded tuna, dairy sour cream and hard -cooked eggs served in lettuce cups. Accompany with dainty sandwiches and celery fans.

Aug. 20, 1980 THE POST ' R Here & There In Pickering by Diane Matheson Them is no column for Diane Matheson as she is on holiday. Peet see Paas It Ont Ontario's Peach Crop Is Mere The Ontario fresh peach crop is good this year. The peaches not only taste great, there are lots of them. Lots to eat fresh - lots to preserve. The best peaches for preserving. according to food specialists at the Ontario Food Council, are the various freestone varieties. This year they're be on the market from about August 8 to mid- September. Freestone peaches vary in color according to the variety. Some are golden, hke the Golden Jubilees which will be plentiful this year. They are a flavorful peach, excellent for freezing and canning. Others are rosy rrd .:Kc 'Inc Redhaven and arc excellent for preserving. How Do You ReaWkIme A Ripe Peach? Don't judge a peach by it's blush. The way to determine if a peach is ripe is to check the ground color. With a Golden Jubilee it's easy. Check the color of the peach at the stem end. If it's golden, the peach is ripe. if it's green it isn't ripe. For a rosy peach, check for a yellow color behind the blush at the stem end just as you would for a Golden Jubilee. Freezing Peaches? no more tnan 4 cups of peaches at a time. Peel, then slice 4 cups of peaches into a bowl. Dissolve '/4 teaspoon of ascorbic acid in 1A cup of :old water. Add to beaches. Toss. Measure 2/2 u p of sugar. Add to ^eaches. Toss gently, but 7oroughly until the sugar s dissolved. Put the .peaches in plastic freezer -aKs or freezer containers. Sabel the packages. Freeze m mediately. For a dessert on it's own. :reeze peaches in cold .-. rup. Dissolve 2 cups of sugar in 3 asps of water. In this amount of cold syrup (4 cups) dissolve 1/4 teaspoon of ascorbic acid. Then peel and slice the peaches into freezer containers. Pour the syrup over the peaches covering them completely. Leave f - inch headspace. Seal the containers, label, freeze immediately. Both of these procedures arc easy. So freeze some beautiful Ontario peaches each way. Just think of how good they'll taste in February. Prepare now. Buy lots of fresh Ontario peaches and freeze them. Add ... psst ... past it on. The peach crop is just great this year.

The corps wore the longer Romantic dresses in powder blue and were the essence of romance. We don't have too many specific comments to make because we were so close to the stage it would have been obscene to make notes while the dancers were performing But, we must mention the radiance that emanates from Vanessa Harwood whenever she is on stage. It's not for us to optnionate on her place in pantheon of dancers but we will not be silent in ex- pr�ss�ng our admiration of her presence. Tie pas de deux from Le Corsau^e was danced by Veronica Tennant andel Tomas Schramek and, you know what?, we enjoyed their performance more than the one two weeks ago LenAui[ustyn and Karen Kain.

Now, Mr. Davis is probably a fine conductor, although we have our own personal reservation. It remains though, that he does not have, nor should he be expected to have, the fine rapport with dancers that is so manifest with George Crum. Miss Tennant and Mr. Shramek seemed comfortable and well able to attack the difficult moves with a confidence that transformed the difficult into the spec- tacular. And, it's our feeling that their con- fidence stemmed notgust from a knowledge of r own ability but from the comfortable certainty that they would not be failed by Mr. Crum. One more comment .

Space is always a problem and we elected not to mention it because the show had been sold out for several months. Now% it turns out that there Nat might be a few seats available as well as daily SRO. It's worth enquiring after. But, if you can't see Annie this time around, why not try Paul Lynde in The Neil Simon Suite at the Royal Alex.

Ontario Riding As I mentioned in last week's column, over the past 20 ,.ears, Canada's BNA Act has been in a state of almost continual review — so far without much success. This time, "though, the pressure seems to be on and Canadians may ,well find themselves with a new constitution in a couple of years. With the First Minister's conference coming up in Sep- tember, federal and provincial representatives spent the .summer negotiating and compromising. Much of their discussion focussed on a list of 12 "priorities" for a new constitution, a list drawn up by the federal government. One of them, patriation, was discussed last week. There we'll look at those reforms Ottawa wants at the federal .level. SENATE: Nowadays, it's difficult to find many vocal supporters of the Senate. Originally meant to balance provincial interests against those of the popularly -elected House of Commons. few could admit that the Senate has successfully spoken out for the regions. Without a doubt, the Senate does boast some incredibly experienced and knowledgable persons who produce well - reasoned critiques of government proposals. Yet, this same task is also performed by Task Forces and Royal Com- missions, with about the same impact. Both the PC's and the Liberals put forth similar formulas for revamping the Upper House and making it truly a forum for federal -provincial relations. They include allowing the provinces to appoint all, or at least the majority of the members for the new Chamber and then giving this group some real clout to deal with federal issues affecting the provinces. With proper planning. the new Senate could help improve relations between the provinces and Ottawa. SUPREME COURT: Like Senators, Supreme Court Justices are often criticized for being federal appointees. As the Court responsible for interpreting and re - Interpreting the constitution, the provinces see it as a basically federal body, not representative of wider in- terests. ( Even though the pattern of Supreme Court decisions over the years has favoured the provinces, in politics its often the perception, rather than the facts, which count.) Needless to say, the most recent suggestions on reform have supported provincial input into Court appointments. In addition, the federal Liberals generally favour more representation on the bench from Quebec and entrenching the Court in the constitution. Right now, the Supreme Court exists only as an Act of Parliament. CHARTER OR RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS: John Diefenbaker's Bill of Rights was never made a part of the constitution. It remains only another Act of Parliament and Acts can be amended or even repealed. By enshrining the principles of civil and political rights in a new BNA Act, they would be binding on both the federal and provincial governments. In an era of 'increasing government involvement in people's lives, a charter like this would protect the in- dividual from excesses of an expanding bureaucracy and help discipline the power of the state. One particular aspect of the charter concept is quite controversial: language rights. Intended to ensure "equal respect" throughout the country for both official languages, in practice the charter would provide for education and other services in the second language wherever in Canada the numbers warranted. In the opinion of some of the provinces, a Charter of Rights and Freedoms is secondary, if not irrelevent, to the more fundamental questions of resource ownership and equalization. Since Trudeau has already said that the Charter cannot be "traded -off" for other concessions to the provinces, the roam to negotiate has already diminished. Next week: The Resource Issue.

First, most seniors have paid municipal and school taxes throughout their working years, and continue to do so. Ontario's new Property Tax Grant will help homeowners and tenants 65 years of age or older pay all or a large part of these taxes to a maximum of 500. These grants will be paid directly to seniors in the Spring and Fall of each year, shortly after municipal tax bills arrive. The second part of the program is the new Sales Tax Grant paid once a year to help offset retail sales tax for Ontario seniors. If you are an Ontario resident, 65 years of age or over and you pay ply tax on your residence or rent for your accomodation, you are eligible for the property tax grant regardless of your income. Depending upon the amount of property tax or rent paid, you may receive annually a property tax grant of up to $5W per household. For tenants, the grant is 20% of the rent on your principal residence, or SW whichever is less. Only one property tax grant will be paid to a married couple or unmarried seniors who share accommodations. An application for the property tax grant will be automatically mailed to any seniors who receive the federal Old Age Security pension in late August of this year. if you do not receive the Old Age Security pensions, call the Ministry of Revenue information Centre for details at 965- 8470. If you rent, you must attach receipts to your application form. Contact your landlord now to arrange for receipts if you don't normally receive them. If you own your home, ark By George Ashe M.P.P. you should enter the Assessment Roll Number on the ap- plication. This number appears on your Notice of Assessment and Municipal Enumeration Notice, which you receive each year. But, if this number is not readily available this year, just complete the rest of your ap- plication form and return it to us. However, next year, please remember to keep your Notice of Assessment since you will need the Assessment Roll Number for your next application in 1981. The Ontario Ministry of Revenue will process your 1800 application for the Property Tax grant as soon as it is received. Complete your application very carefully, and get it in quickly. Detailed instructions will accompany the application form. Starting in 1961, you will receive your Property Tax grant in two installments. Early in 1961, a cheque for one half of your 1980 grant will be automatically mailed to you. Later that year, you will receive an application form, which when processed will make up the balance of your annual grant. No application is necessary for the sales tax grant, if you receive the Old Age Security pension. The $50 grant will be mailed to you automatically in September of 1880. If you do not receive the Old Age Security pension, contact the Ministry of Revenue Information Centre at 966-8470 for complete details on applying. Neither of these grants will be added to your income for Federal and Provincial Income Tax purposes. However, they do replace the previous Ontario Tax credits for seniors. This new program now allows you to receive municipal and school tax assistance directly and quickly, without filling in a special income tax form. For further information on the program, be sure to call the Information Centre at 965-8470. ♦ Health W Views Watch for " posture traps" Soft, sagging chairs. Soft, lumpy mattresses. Unadjustable car steering wheels. Low feet -in -front automobile car seats. Rigid school desks. Modern sofas with curved backs or no backs. Everywhere, we are surrounded with furniture and devices that not only do not help our posture, but in some cases do damage to it. And chronic poor posture can lead to fatigue, irritability, muscle strain, and in extreme cases, functional and organic problems. Even in your home you probably have many "posture traps" which you use for relaxation and comfort, but which in reality are detrimental to normal body balance. Unfortunately, most people confuse softness with comfort, and don't realise that unless a seat or mattress is firm enough and supportive enough to properly hold the spine, the vital muscles and joints can be strained. Sinking into your favorite chair can also crowd your abdomen, compress your chest cavity and ultimately hinder your body from functioning healthfully. On the other hand, stiff and unyielding chairs can be damaging too. Some school desks are prime examples. Seats should allow the child to rest his feet on the floor, with the knees at a right angle. The back of the chair should support the spine and prevent the chest from sagging - There are several things you can do to achieve healthier sitting posture for your family. First of all, get rid of harmful "posture traps". Invest in posture supportive chairs. Don't forget that softness and comfort are not synonymous, and that the true test of a seat is whether you can sit in it for long periods of time without fatigue or discomfort. The old-fashioned rocking chair, which exercises the legs and stimulates blood circulation as it supports the back, is often found to be an excellent posture seat. Your mattress should also be firm. If you do not have a mattress which has been specifically engineered and designed to give a good sleeping posture, it is recommended that you temporarily place a piece of plywood between your present mattress and box springs to keep your bed form. Your car, another possible "posture trap", should likewise be chosen carefully. Look for adjustable seats, ample leg room, seating that lets you sit on your rump and not the end of your spine, dashboard instruments which can he reached without strain, and firm seat cushioning. Your doctor of chiropractic reminds you that when you permit your spine to sag, you are allowing muscles to relax and ligaments to be placed under tension as the segments of the spine reach their limit of motion. This in turn can cause many types of health problems. The solution: Have periodic spinal examinations. And if your dog wants the broken down, sagging easy chair, give it to him. Stay out of "posture traps," and enjoy life to its fullest. •0• These health views are published by members of the Ontario Ciiropraetic Association its the interest of better public health.
