NEWS POST Wed. 4lctober 7.19921 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Labor's deja vu 8y Michael Wyrks By now, most Ontarians are aware of the heated battle going on over the NDP government's proposed changes to the Labour Relations Act (Bill 40). Labor and business have been at log- gerheads since the day Bill 40 was unveiled. Throughitall,the debate has been anything but friendly. Business considers Bill 40 a grossly unfair shift in power to unions. potentially causing the exodus of millions ofdollars in investment and the loss of tens of thousands of jobs. Labor groups argue the Bill would simply bring Ontario's labor laws into the 1990's- ensuring unions are given the right to organize and grow within the economy. While countless stW- ws have been produced by the business community wamingof severe consequences if thelegis- latton is passed. thegovernrrerit has refused to perform any im- pact study of its own. Regm- tably, it's thecitizemofOeNano who've been Left in the middle, wondering who to trusL W I I I Bill 40 create an harmonious working environment mWcom- peutive economy in which On- tarioand its people can compete or will it turn the province into a rust belt'' We can shed some light on that troublesome question by looking at the situation in Que- bec, Ontario's largest trading partner within Canada. Quebec revised its own labr laws in 1978. following a period of Letter To The Editor horrible picket -line violence. Since the labor law was changed, here are the facts: Quebec has lost nearly one million more work days because of labor strife than has Ontario; - Quebec has suffered 20 per cent more strikes than has On- tario; -In the last six years. Quebec has had more than double the number of workers involved in strikes than Ontario; Investment in Quebec has suffered compared toOntano— in 1991. Ontario received ap- proximately 75 percent more investment dollars than did Que- bec: Shortly after the law was Passed. bankruptcies in Quebec began to outpace Ontario bank- ruptcies and; - In the past rive years. Que- bec's unemployment rates have been significantly higher than Ontario's. This has been the situation in Quebec despite its lower popu- lation (about two-thirds of Ontario's) and smaller work- force. Unlike Ontario's propos- als, the Quchec labor law has counterbalancing provisions such as a required strike vote— aprovision aowhene to be found in the Ontario government's package - The %DP government of Oman amends to pass the labor proposals um law later this fall. By ignoring the past kssons of Quehec's experience, the gov- emmcnt is putting at risk the future of this province.

The government made the decision to move the RCMP's Ontario head- quarters last year because of overcrowding at its out- dated facilities in downtown Toronto. The new headquarters building will house 210 members and employees of the RCMP. London was chosen over 16 locations considered by a Govern- ment consulting group. Its proximity to RCYIP detachments and sub- divisions in Ontario and its lower cost of living for of- ficers made London an ideal site. Mr. Lewis said that "I find it appropriate that we are gathered to celebrate the relocation of this RCNIP headquarters at a time when Canadians face a historic juncture in their history because the RCMP has always been closely linked wnth the develop ment of Canada.., The Ontario Division oversees the work of 14o0 RCMP members stationed across Ontario.

Presidents Of 3 Parties Back The "Yes" Vote Dear Sir !Madam: As Presidents of the Liberal. New• Democratic and Pro- gressive Conservative Parties for the federal rding of Scarborough East. we've put aside our partisan differences and agreed to campaign together for a "Yes" vote on (k•t 36. 199'2. Here are a few reasons for our choice I. Canada. despite being selected in 19w! by the United Na- tions, as the best country in the world in which to live, i_s los- ing ground economically. We feel the Charlottetown Accord will help to preserve and protect our social programs. But to maintain our excellent health care system and make trairung available to Canadians displaced by shifts in global economic trends. we need a healthy economy. This can only be achieved if our nation pulls together. rather than in op- posite pposite directions. 2 Quebecers, nghth- or ATongly. felt rejected by Canada following the deriuse of the Meech Lake Accord. Similarly. our Aboriginal peoples felt they were not recognized as an integral part of Canada. The August 28th agreement welcomes both groups as full partners in confederation. Let's not lose this opportunity to welcome Quebecers and Aboriginal peoples into the national fabric we call Canada. 3. World financial markets just gave Canada a wake -tip call. Only fools can believe that a "No" vote won't weaken Canada's economic position. Whether we like it or not, world financial markets seem to be viewing this referen- dum as a vote of confidence in Canada. A 'Yes" vote will help restore this confidence so that both foreign and domestic capital will be available to all segments of our Canadian economy. The August 28th Charlottetown Accord is by no means a perfect document. It is, however, a compromise arrived at b}- our elected leaders. As we go through a painful period of restructuring, we must put our petty differences behind us and work together to build a better Canada. We believe it is time for Canada to celebrate our ac- complishments rather than accentuate our differences. With a renewed constitutional process underway, our politi- cians can direct their energies toward issues of employ - meat, training and education that will help Cariadians rebuild a canntg nation.

Zero -garbage that is! And both are will- ing to prove it through Metro Toronto's Zero Gar- bage Day Challenge. On Wed. Sept. 30th, residents from both Metro and San Diego battled it out, via their respective hotlines, to see who can reduce the most waste on that day. "The goal of our contest was to encourage people to think of what they can do to reduce waste. The smallest of efforts can mean the big- gest difference in waste reduction," says the con- test's official represen- tative, Metro Chairman .Alan Tonks. "It doesn't matter who actually wins: .it's making zero our goal everyday that will make us and the City of Dan Diego winners." There are several ways residents can achieve zero garbage. First, they should mentally walk themselves through their day ahead to see where they can reduce. For example, residents who purchase a morning coffee or tea on the way to work could bring their own mug instead of using disposable cups. Lunch could be brought in reusable containers. And cloth napkins should replace paper ones. A list of ideas for both the home and workplace are attach- ed. "Metro residents take waste reduction very seriously. Our Blue Box and home composting pro- grams are some of the best in North America and can help our residents to reduce their household waste by as much as 45 per- cent," says Chairman Tonks. As with most bets, Metro Toronto and San Diego have placed a small wager to demonstrate their com- mitment to the contest. Roth Mayor Maureen O'Connor of the City of San Diego and Metro Chairman Alan Tonks have agreed that the loser will send the winner a gift basket full of items that are unique to the loser's community. (Should Metro lose, it's gift basket to Dan Diego will be full of items donated from various organizations. Should Metro win, the con- tents of the basket received from San Diego will be donated to charity. ) The official represen- tative will personally hoist the winner's flag at their main municipal office where it will fly for one day and to add to the victory, the official representative will wear the baseball cap of the winner's Major League baseball team for one day. Metro Toronto's Zero Get all the facts! 6 MI19902 Garbage Day Challenge was part of the Recycling Council of Ontario's Waste Reduction Week. Its goal is to continue to educate and encourage Metro residents to reduce waste by practis- ing the 3Rs - Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. Metro Toron- to is committed to reducing waste going to landfill by 50% by the year 2000. If everyone makes waste management and the 3Rs a part of their everyday lives, Metro Toronto will ultimately become a near - zero waste generating society. Many Canadians say they want more information before answering the referendum question on October 26. Between October 9 -12, households throughout the country will receive an 8 -page summary pamphlet that contains another publication - the entire unedited Constitutional Agreement, reached in Charlottetown, August 28.

The Garden In Winter In Canada, winter is long and hard, but the garden, with a little attention, can still be a place of visual in- terest and wonder. The Civic Garden Centre, 777 Lawrence Ave. E., ( located in Edwards Gardens) is of- fering a special program on Sun. Oct. lath, I - 5 p.m. to show you how to create your own winter oasis when flowers fade and leaves fall and the garden is stripped to its bare bones - walls, hedges, pathways and outstanding plant specimens. In winter. more than anv other season, the garden neec}s the support of good design and a well -ordered pattern. Penny Arthurs, Cabbagetown's own Chelsea Gardener, a grad, to of one of Britain's leachng schools of garden design, the English Gardening School and a prominent Toronto Land- scape architect will expimn how the winter garden can be enhanced by good design through the use of walls, fences. pergolas, lat- ticework. shapes of plants, garden ornaments and night -lighting. She will also speak about other elements to consider such as shadow, light. stow, trees, shrubs. berms and surrounding vistas when creating an at- tractive winter view. Winter is a period in the garden when nd comes to a standstill and there is almost no change going on. Brian Holley. a garden writer and head of the teaching garden at the Royal Botanical Gardens, will show how the garden can be made to look as in- teresting as possible even though you may only be spending time wistfully ad- miring it frvrn indoors. Brian will discuss or- namental grasses, tree bark, ground covers. seed pods. Hellebores, flowering trees and shrubs. conifers for shape and colour, winter bulbs and plant material to attract birds. Gardeners must protect their gardens against winter damage caused by cold and wind. A represen- tative hent. the Toronto Master Gardeners will discuss protective techni- ques and give tips on how to get the garden ready for winter. There will be ample time to have all your ques- tions ansnered at the con- ciusion of this presentation. The fee for this program is S45 and you should register in advance. You can either write to the Civic Garden Centre. 777 U%Tence Ave. East. North fork. MX 1P'2 or call 397-1340. Visa and Master- card are accepted.

NEWS POST Wed. October 7, 1992 Bill Watt's Worlds BE(:I,.IN(:S: A columnist's life is not the romantic one that the uninitiated might suppose. It involves aching hours (the play review•, for exam- ple, that takes two minutes to read but has required two hours of viewing), dif- ficult composition and suicidal deadlines. And, the monetary rewards aren't all that great. Yet, every so often -once in a blue moon as it were - something comes along that makes it all wor- thwhile and dispels any vagrant thoughts of going back to the odious world of routine commerce. Your correspondent has been privileged to be in- -sited for an advance view- ing of the as yet uncompleted -though it's comfortably ahead of schedule -North York Per- forming Arts Centre. At this point. one can almost hear readers sighing exasperatedly over the thought of yet another such edifice. Forget such early abominations as the St. Lawrence Centre: the North York Centre is going to be truly world class. We make no apology for the use of the sometimes over used descriptive. A group of us assembled recently in the Phantom Lounge of the Pantages for early morning coffee. Then. we were taken by special bus to the site of the new centre where we were grreted by Gart Drabim- skv. the head of Uvent which will operate the new facility. They we donned hard hats and special boots and were taken on a personally conducted tour of the building in progress. Mr. Drabinskv was most gracious but particularly impressed with his answers to all questions. Speaking without notes or prompting he rattled off statistics of sight lines• audio values, creature comforts, details of con- struction and the like. Over all however, he conveved the message that the centre is to be one for all the per- forming arts. The complex will be com- posed of the 1800 seat main stage theatre• a slighth• smaller (1.032 seats i recital hall. a 250 seat studio theatre, a 5000 square foot art gallery and a rehearsal hall. Every seat in every hall or theatre is close to the stage and the acoustics are or will be the equal of any concert hall in North America, perhaps even the world. The centre will be set in several acres of park land. There will be ample park- ing 1 a 2.000 car urderground lot is just part of the picture) but for those who prefer public transit. there will be direct access from the Sheppard and North York subway sta- tious. Yonge Street buses will continue to operate as well. After the tour. we were escorted to the North 44 Restaurant for a musical reception and greeting by Mayor Mel Lastman and another opportunity to ask questions. As most of you will have heard etsev►tKre by now. the opening attraction in the main stage theatre will be a new production of Show- Boat scheduled for October of '93. It will be directed by the renowned Harold Prince. The recital hall will have its gala open- ing oa Nov. 23rd. '93 w ek^cmn g Dame Kiri Te Arts & Crafts Expo PICKERING, ONT.

For now, we intend to file away the memory of being among the first to view the North York Performing Arts Cen- tre. Wliat a great conversa- tion piece for us. what a great place it is going to be! AT THE OPERA: The consideration with opera, and what a delightful one, is that while most opera composers are good. "some are goofier than others" as w -e heard remarked at a perfor- mance of Massenet's Wer- ther by the the Canadian Opera Company presently in residence at The O'Keefe. To too many. opera is are only the was of Verdi. Wagner. Puccini and Rossini. Massenet, along with such as Mascagni. Donizetti. Monteverdi and others, is considered by some as part of the B. Team. While it's possibly correct that they are not up there with the greats -an appreciation of the arts being always subjective -their works should be judged an their own and not in comparison. Even so, Werther is at best a turgid. even gloomy work and one wanders wfiv Massenet. a French man was impelled compelled into essaying an adaptation of the German Goethe's masturbatory day dream of unrequited love. It's certaindv more Ger- man than French: arguably more Russian than French. Would Tchaikowsky have called it Charlotte Russe one muses. i Confession: it has been twelve years since your reviewer last saw Werther and actually seem to have recalled hearing it in German rather than French. Hello Colin and bless you for your diplomacy in keeping us from a further gaff.) The score is less than memorable and the libretto unworthy of the skilled troika of Blau. Millet and Hartmann. So what then, is left for an audience's discrimina- tion" Production, of course• and the C.O.C. has done itself exceedingly well with it. Neil Wilson's tenor car- ries the role of Werther, one that should have been written for baritone or even bass and mezzo-soprano Delores Ziegler is the quintessential Charlotte in a role that cries out for col- oratura. (Is the young lady perchance, a relative of Anne Ziegler who did so much for opera along with her husband Webster Booth?) Tracy Dahl is everyone's delight as the sister Sophie and Cristopher Coyea comes into his own quite nicely as a character singer in the role of Schmidt.

SCATI Says Trustees Refuse To Cooperate On Aug. 31st. Scar- borough Trustees claimed, while they attempted to justify their 64% pay in- crease, that the public didn't know what they did' To respond to these claims. Scarborough Citizens Against the Increase re- quested all trustees to fill their reports. listing their activities. "Not one trustee has responded to date," said Diane Wilson. Leader of Scarborough Citizens Against The Increase. "The trustees complain that the public does not know how hard they work but refuse to share with us the details of what they do? They believe that they should be paid for doing a full time job. but refuse to assure the public that they are putting in full time hours... Board Chairman Dianne Williams claimed in a Toronto Star report that Scarborough Citizens Against The lacrease are not sending out the forms to discover what they are do- ing to justify their high salaries but "to get at us". "Trustees told us that they are working full time and we want to be convinced. The form w•as designed to convince us that they are working full time. but if they refuse to tell us what they are up to, how do we know that they are full time''.- asked Wilson. "Scarborough Citizens Against The Increase is continuing to demand the resignations of those trustees who not only refus- ed to consider the demands of the public and roll back the increase. but refuse to let the public know what they are doing. Let's have a series of by-elections and let those arrogant trustees who flout the wishes of the public seek reelection."

Before you can design your tryouts, you must answer the following questions: how many players will participate? How much ice time is available? How many players will you keep after each cut. Decide what criteria you will use to evaluate players, and base them on the qualities you are looking for. Some general categories you might use include individual skills, team tactics, and mental, physical and emotional qualities. Next, design your tryout sessions to evaluate players on these criteria. Methods such as specific skill drills, skill testing and competitive drills allow you to assess players on an individual and head- to-head basis. The best way to evaluate players' overall abilities is during organized scrimmages and exhibition games. Here are some hints to running smooth tryouts: ' inform players of tryout details well in advance. ' collaborate with your assistant coaches and manager to cover all tasks. ' explain selection process to players before tryou.L& When releasing players, don't read the names of cuts or post lists. Speak with each player individually, inviting questions and offering feedback. Don't make future promises to players: direct them to other teams, and thank them for their effort. It is important to remember that your treatment of players should reflect your desire to place them on teams where they will benefit most, rather than making it a negative experience that could turn them away from hockey.
