However. this is a country without a central government and nothing but trouble ahead. Are we just going to feed the present hungry and destitute Somalian and then leave them for another rotten series of hunger and death? Another problem is why are only western countries help- ing these people in Africa? Are there no African nations or Asian countries wanting to assist in the solution of this pro- blem? Now we have the United Nations asking for our help in Mozambique. This is a country where rebels helped by out- side forces are in conflict with local Communist forces of the coumtry's government. The country is in economic trou- ble resulting from its Communist regime. Surely the ar- rival of our troops and our food will be just a temporary solution. With our federal government's deficit this country really can't afford to take on problems in other countries. Let's look after our poor and unemployed folks as a priority. Letter To The Editor That Referendum Recent headlines reveal the extent of the deceit, and the lack of integrity prevailing in political circles in our coun- try' "Scare Voters. Yes Side Was Told appeared in bold print on the front pages of many newspapers. An internal strategy document uncovered by the Ottawa Citizen clearly indicates that the leaders of the '-Yes" forces in the recent referendum campaign, were urged to frighten Canadians into voting for the Charlottetown Ac- cord. Attack -s on the motives of the "No" side were also high on the list of the document's recommendations. One of the authors of the 12 -page document is a member of an Ot- tawa lobbying firm. whose partners are cooAmets of a company called Anderson Strategic Research which received referenduun-rrlated contracts from the govern- ment.

Gasoline Prices Why is gasoline much cheaper in the United States when a lot of our gasoline is exported to the U.S.? The answer is taxes. State and federal taxes in the USA total about 11 Canadian cents per litre whereas in Canada taxes are 27 • cents. However. most European countries have a lot more taxes on gasoline than we do! About Unions The Canadian Federation of Independent Business in a March 1992 Angus Reid poll found that when workers were asked if they would rather belong to a union 57% responded "no" while only 37% responded "yes". Very Puzzling A few months ago Metro Councillor Howard Moscoe travelled from his North York constituency to Scarborough Civic Centre to argue with Scarborough Mayor Joyce Trim- mer and many of her council members to ban the 22 years old Miss Scarborough Pageant from using the Scarborough Civic Centre. Mr. Moscoe also managed to have the Miss CNE Pageant cancelled. But now the same Howard Moscoe is pushing to have topless bathing for women on Toronto beaches. one finds this very puzzling. New Legislation Begins Long Term Care Reform Health Munster Frances Lankin has introduced legisla- tion that win set the stage for the fundamental restructur- ing of Ontario's long-term carr system. "Ibe legislative changes are the fust step towards a new integrated long-term care health and social services system for seniors, their caregivers. adults with physical disabilities and those who need health services at home." Frances Lankin said. "This system win have a special em- phasis on community-based programs to support those who want to stay in their own homes as long as possible." The minister introduced the Long -Term Care Statute Law Amendment Act to improve the quality of life for residents in long-term care facilities. It will allow for major improvements in the programs and services offered to residents of nurmntg homes and homes for the aged. The legislation would amend seven existing statutes to acNeve the folliw•ng goal~: a fairer funding scheme for nna- sing homes, charitable hones for the aged and municipal homes for the aged to take effect in the spring of 19911 that is based on the nursing and personal care needs of their residents: improved accountability to residents. their families, workers and government in terms of quality assurance. service provision and financial management: a consistent resident payment policy: simplified and streamlined access to bog -term care facilities through placement co-�rirdirators: direct payments to adults with disabilites wtto are able to bin• and manage their own sup- port upport services. Under the current facility resident payment policy. some residents are asked to pay for their nursing and personal care. and their assets and income are used to calculate the fees they pay. lander the new policy. residenrts will be asked to contribute to their accommodation 1 room and board) coots only. and assets will no longer be considered in the calculations of residents' fees. On behalf of her colleagues. the Minister of Community and Social Services, Marion Boyd, and the Munster of Citizenship. Elaine Tiemba, Ms. Lankin said a report on the highly successful consultation and the resulting policy deci- sions would be released in January. Details of the im- plementation framework for the new long-term care system would be announced in the spring;. With respect to planning, the minister said: „I will be asking District Health Councils to begin restructuring their long-term carr planning capacities to make sure they have representatives from municipalities, social service plann- ing and delivery sectors, and, of course, consumers. And once the report is out in January. I will ask them to facilitate planting discussions on the long-term care im- plementation in their communities." The government's long-term policy was developed follow- ing one of the most extensive consultations ever undertaken in the province. More than 2.000 briefs were received and the government's Redirection report was discussed at more than 3.010 meetings with some 75,000 consumers and pro- viders of long -teem care services. Letter To The Editor Don't Privatize CBC Privatize the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation?? David Somerville President of the National Citizens' Coali- tion thinks so, in a letter to the Editor on Wed. Nov. 25th. First of all we should all acknowledge that censorship is never the issue or the premise from which to start. It is this premise of emotion into which a controversial issue is brought this time the C.B.C. to be taken out of the premise of rational discussion. Witness also the heightened emotion of the constitutional referendum. Instead of valid arguments the public sought and expected we were treated to an emotional agenda. Radicals whether knowingly or unknowingly resort to the premise of emotion to achieve sometimes surreptitious ends and ambitions. We can and do privatize many of our country's undertak- ings. None of these undertakings whether public or private is free as David Somerville would have us believe. The public or the taxpayer as we can call them fund all our com- munication media. The public media funding is more direct and open. The private media relies wholly on indirect fun- ding included in the price of products advertised and pur- chased. I do not think we should run off on one tangent dominated by the private sector broadcasting. Not to allow public freedom of expression to counter a dominant private sector with possible run away privileges would not be in the in- terest of either the private sector or the public sector and their freedom of expression. The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation is now just a precautionary bulwark. Canadians do not want the radical Nazi expression and emotions now taking place in our neighbourly European countries to even begin within Canada. Our Canadian Broadcasting Corporation remains ohne of the bulwarks of democracy and the causes for which our Canadian soldiers gave their lives. We dare not let the causes for which they died be repeated again. Yaws truly, Mike Boychyn 35 Wandering Trail Scarborough, Ont.

Ilecember 9, 1992 Bill Watt- s Worlds ON STAGE: The World Goes 'Round, currently playing the Bayview Playhouse is less than a revue, more than a cabaret show. Simply stated, it's a presentation of the best songs from the many shows of John Kander and Fred Ebb. The strength of those compositions lies in the lyrics. not the melodies. John Kander is far from be- ing a Porter. Rodgers. Kern or Berlin. His melodies are probably best described as easily utilitarian. Fred Ebb. however• ap- proaches the strength of a Sondheim with h•rics that are erudite but filled with emotion. John Kander would pro- bably be nothing without Fred Ebb but the latter probably would not be as successful with another composer. That's subject to further consideration. % hat mat- ters is that together• they have written some fine songs and the best of them are presented in The World Goes ' Round by quite one of the most talented casts assembled for any show. They all sing, dance and play instruments. Well. you say. surely that's true of all stage performers. Indeed it is but rarely will you we a cast that does all of them as well as does this one. There is no individual star though a case could be made that each is star. Louise Pitre. fresh from her triumphs in both the French and English ver- sions can be both poignant and a better. And. boy can she strut her stuff' She has a dancer's walk -elbows tight, toe..lightly out -that commands attention. Great sense of humrour. too. Her best number'. Difficult to say but we'd plump for the torrhy Isn't This Bet- ter' from Funny Lady. Cathy Wydner is a volup- tuous woman who dances like a dream and sings with emiotional clarity. Her best number is When it All Comes True. Her singing is heart warming and it's counterpointed by some down to earth hoofing of a kind not seen since Carol Haney danced Steam Heat. Her partner in the number is Bob Walton. He dances so well that one wonders if he might be a relation, son or grandson perhaps, of Hollywood director Robert Walton who was the first dancing partner assigned to Greta Garbo. Not only does he dance well, he's a good singer as best noted in the touching Marry Me from The Rink. Oh, and he plays excellent piano as well. David Rogers gives full dramatic value to Kiss of the Spider Woman and Michele -Denise Woods makes the now toil worn Maybe This Time, from Cabaret. seem fresh. The cast sings solo, in combination and ensemble. Ditto for dancing. As well. they all can and do play banjo. One should also mention that all roller skate. Re -reading the foregoing it appears we might be giv- ing the impression that The World Goes 'Round is a glorified Ed Sullivan Show on stage. Not so. It is a fire musical presentation of good music by an excellent and multi -talented cast directed by Scott Ellis. Great musical direction as well by Rob Bowman. One wishes it could be stated better but there it is. Perhaps the best recom- mendation is to express the hope and expectation that it's in for a ling run. Cer- tainly it's worth repeat viewing AT THE OPERA: 'Tw•ould be easy to dismiss Cosi fan tutte as a mere trifle-, easy telt, of course. not correct. Granted, the music isn't memorable but it is Mozart-W.A_ that is -and that surely says it all. Granted, the Da Ponte libretto seems trsurbstan- tal but hardly deserves such a perception. At the very least, it's serviceable: Shakespeare and Shawas well as Laurel and Hardy, among others used it. At its best, it's a sharp insight in - Around and About Your Dining & Entertainment Guide to the incipient perfidy that harbours within all of us. This reviewer suggests Cosi fan tutte, more than perhaps. any other opera, should not be subjected to niggling considerations of literary or musical merit but simply judged by the amount of pleasure it gives to audiences. By that measure, the Canadian Opera Company's produc- tion of it at the Elgin Theatre is a winner: an in- timate treasure in a treasure of intimate set- ting. On the evening of our at- tendance, the orchestra was conducted by Bruno Ferrardis with subdued firmness and sans the sometimes showy postur- ings of Richard Bradshaw. It might have been his conducting or it might have been the firm hand of Director Nikolaus I&hnhoff but which ever. the produc- tion was solid and didn't dissolve into farce as some productions of this opera have been wont to do. With that solidity -not stolidity -the talents of the singers shone through as singers even more than as actors. What glorious sing- ing was the result. The sisters were played respect i vel• by soprano Wendy Nielsen and mezzo soprano Charlotte Hel lekant . Interestingly. the former is Junoesque, the latter almost vulpine. Given their voices, one would expect the opposite. Anatomical corisiderations aside, both voices are superb and could quite easily convey the nuances of the roles is a simple con- cert performance. Quite exciting, and most en- joyable. Their two lovers were played by tenor Richard Croft and baritone Russell Braun. They were suitable young aristocrats of the military while never descending into foppery. It "Agnes Of God" By Stage Centre by Frank Knight The Play "Agnes of God" by John Pielmeir is a well written psychological drama dealing with a young Novice in a convent who seemingly has visions, hears voices and has in- tense religious ex- periences. There is also the question of a dead baby, the cover up and the prob- ing of the psychiatrist to uncover the truth, along the way the doctor learns some truths about herself as does the Mother Superior. With only three characters there is a lot of dialogue and interaction between the actors. The whole play was skilfully handled by L. Garth Allen who also designed an in- teresting simple set which allowed are to focus on the story yet maintained the drama and intensity of the play. Excellent lighting plot supported the dramatic sub -text. In the pivotal role, Marilyn Meitz (Dr. Martha Livingstone) gave us a true characterization and a wonderful sustained per- formance. As the young nun, Laura Robitalle (Agnes) did not put a foot wrong. It was a well crafted, balanced perfor- mance. Her hysterical out- bursts were well controll- ed. It would have been so easy to have gone over the top. In the role of the Mother Superior Joyce Clark gave us a beautiful performance with all the nuances and sub -text of the character. She had some very strong emotional scenes where she gave us full value with voice and face acting. Another pro- duction of excellent theatre by Stage Centre Produc- tions. "Salesmen Don't Ride Bicycles On Dec.16th. Medina Theatre Ensem- ble will present a concert reading of Leo Orenstein's Comedy "Salesmen Don't Ride Bicycles" directed by Sylvia Lemick on Wed. Der. 16th. at Holy Blossom Temple. Phillip Smith Foyer at 7:30 p.m. Leo Orenstein, producer- dirertor of radio. stage and film, based his play on true life experience conflicts with his father and his father's second wife.

Audience favourites, of course. are always the cynical Don Alfonso and the peasant shrewd (or street smart, take your pick Despina. Bass Rudolf M. azzola played the master manipulator to perfection. He was no doddering old man past his days of sexual activity but a man in vigorous sunset years hav- ing fun. Orbe realizes that we re now seeming to pay more attention to his sing- ing than his acting. Forgive us: his sonorous voice is quite cornmanding. This is the gentleman's first ap- pearance with the C.O.C. Let it not be his last. Rebecca Caine is Despina and her voice should• we suggest, be declared a National Treasure. (She was born in Toronto you know.) It trills and thrills, it soars and never bores, it gives full measure of treasure to the music of Mozart. My, aren't we getting poetic Well, so be it: that's the way this production af- fects one. And, if it's a sweet cake. then Rebecca Caine is its frosting. It seems all of a piece to mention here that our local Amadeus Choir has com- pleted the judging of its sixth annual carol writing competition. Over 170 en- tries were received from North America and the U.K. The three child winners - t here are nine categories of composition -are from Richmond Hill, Guelph and Toronto.

It's now moved up to the Im- perial Roorn for perfor- mances on Thursday. Fri- day and Saturday. The latest version is titl- ed Welcome Home Billy Ray or Achy, Breaky Murders. The Imperial Room has been down decorated to look like an establishment in Hooter- ville to which Billy Ray Virus returns for a back home celebration. Someone is murdered and at the end of the even- ing. the audience is asked to guess the murderer. The thing with Mysteriously Yours is to take nothing seriously. The acting is as good as it need be but rather overblown, in keeping with the dimen- sions of the room. Anyway• after a fine buffet dinner and a drink or two it doesn't matter .That's not damning with faint praise. it's merely one's assertion that it's a light fun filled evening. The talented young cast is made up of Jean Daigle, Danny Wengle, Genny Ian- nucci, Jada Birt, Lawrence Prance (love the name) and Julie Donoahue whom we have enjoyed in the past with Five Hundred Miles Off Broadway. Oh yes, there's another enigmatic character who calls himself Cesar Romero sometimes floating around. He's not really Cesar Romero but he is most mysterious. Hi gang• S(1REEN SHORTS: It's longer than perhaps need be but Maboim X (Warner Brothers) is worth everyone's niton and not simply that of those with a supposed axe to grind. Speaking personal- ly. we don't like Spike Lee and were not all that taken with the title character during his lifetime but this film of his life is well crafted and respectful, not obsequious - Of The Bodyguard ( Twentieth Century Fox), it has been written we're told, "An arranged mar - nage of pop glamour and Hollywood hunkiness". One should be grateful for small mercies in that no comment has been made in the direction of what The South still regards as miscegenation. Listen, when you're hot, you're hot -in box office tents that is. So, one presumes this Kevin Costner, Whitney Houston starrer will bring in the crowds, at least for an in- itial look see. Ontario Place presents its first annual Big Band Christmas Branch this Sun- day from 11:30 a.m. till 5 p.m. in the Trillium restaurant. Brunch buffet is served from 11:30 till 2 when the dancing begins to the or- chestra of Bobby -all things bright and beautiful- Herriot. Door prizes too. Good stuff. FAST EXIT: After returning from a brief vacation in Florida, we are more than ever con- vinced that our Canadian economic woes are caused in large measure by our own populace. Everywhere we went, we were greeted with smiles -painted on or otherwise -and pleasant, ef- ficient service. When was the last time any of us saw a fellow Canadian smile or go out of his or her way to be helpful' Perhaps an economic depression is what's need- ed. Certainly, there doesn't appear to he any help from the incompetents govern- ing us at all levels. _r Community Diary (Continued from Page 4) TUES.

In North America Twenty-five years ago, Club Med crossed the Atlantic to set down roots in the New World bringing with it a unique vacation concept. Founded in Europe in 1950, the club believed that a vacation should be a time to escape from the confines of civilization to a beautiful natural location where one could find everything that one could possibly want on a vacation in one spot, ready to be enjoyed without any hassles or extra charges. The club also believed that civilization curbed peoples natural instincts to interact comfortably and naturally with each other and therefore developed the role of the Club Med staff member or "G.O." within its villages to facilitate communications between people. There was to be no distinction between paying vacationers and working vacationers. It All ~Darted in hitt Americana and Cana- dians were introduced to this revolutionary vacation concept at the club's first North American village. Fort Royal, on the island of Guadeloupe. The idea of having everything included in one prepaid package, ac- commodations, great food with wine at no extra cost, no tipping, free sports equipment and instruction, and evening entertainment met an enthusiastic new market. Today there are 17 •illlages, one sailing ship and six villas close to North America. But Club Med has riot rested on its laurels as it confinees to refine and add additional activities. during choices. sports and entertainment events to maintain its leadership position as the originator and champion of the all- inclusive, no -hassle, vaca- tion. Last year over 250,000 members (Club Med guests) vacationed in the Nath American Zone with "repeat" business holding strong at 45%. How The (lab Evolved Club Med stays ahead of all-inclusive imitators by listening carefully to what guests want and adjusting its villages to meet chang- ing needs. For example, in 1981 rightly predicting the rise in the North American family travel market. Club Med created a super Fami- ly Village at Eleuthera in the Bahamas, which ad- dressed both adults' and kids' fantasies about what a vacation should include. A Mini Club was added as a special activities centre where children 2 to 11 could enjoy daylong supervised activities and sports from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. or any por- tion of that time. Early mealtimes with child - tested menus were set up for kids who wanted to eat with their peers. Later, Baby Clubs were added for infants and tots. Circus and the flying trapeze first joined the club's North American roster of activities in 1981. The circus program proved to be so popular with all ages, that it was expanded to include adults. Video and computer workshops for both kids and adults are also offered at some family villages. The key to Club Med's family vacation success? Freedom for the kids - freedom from the kids. To- day there are seven Family Villages in the North American Zone. Other changes which have occurred since 1968 include larger rooms with door keys and safety deposit boxes. Two villages have telephones and televi- sions in the rooms. All villages in the North American zone have at least two specialty restaurants for more in- timate, a La carte dining. As well. the club introduc- ed flexibility in length of stay. Originally vaca- tioners were required to Wend one or more weeks at a village. Now stays can range from one night to a few weeks. whatever fits one's schedule. For bie-leard Sports Fans Special sports programs have been developed for devotees - Intensive Ten- nis. Intensive Horseback Riding. Dedicated Dive Centres for scuba diving and Intensive Golf. The goal of all these programs is to give vacationers ex- tensive topnotch instruc- tion utilizing the Latest equipment and techniques. Cur :Ned For Caples.

Goods and services are being traded between nations at an unprecedented rate. And the nature of trade itself is changing. Manufactured goods are now exported more than resources. Trade in services is now one-fifth of all interna- tional trade. No company is immune from the need to compete, and no country is immune from global currents. Therefore, if we are to keep existing jobs and create new ones, we must strengthen Canada's ability to compete. Firms and govern- ments that try to ignore these global realities will pay a painful price. In the 1970s and early 1980s. Canada was not facing up to these new realities. People expected prices to keep going up and acted accordingly. Our labour costs were rising faster than elsewhere, while our productivity gains lagged behind those of our competitors. Ottawa borrowed too much, and there was too much reliance on government. Upon taking office in 1984, we established a long-term plan to build a better economic future for all Canadians. We reduced government intervention, which was discouraging economic growth. We also changed the way that govern- ment regulates. For example, laws were passed to make banks and other financial institutions more competitive. We recently improved the capital cost allowance for manufacturing investment. New approaches to encourage research and develoliment have been delivered, and spen- ding has been increased in the vital areas of science and technology. Federal spending has been restrained in other areas. and over 20 Crown corporations have been sold. We have pursued more open trade. through the Canada- U.S Free Trade Agreement (FTA). through the North American Free Trade Agreement ( NAFTA ) and through the GATT. This is to ensure that our exporters have better access to world markets. And we have increased our investment in worker train- ing. labour market adjustment and job creation by 50 per cent over the past two years. Are we getting results' Yes. There is clear evidence that progress is being made. Canada now has the lowest inflation rate of any of the G-7 nations. Our inflation performance this year is the best in 30 years. Our growth in unit laboka• costs in the first half of this year was one of the best in the G-7. labour productivity grew at an annual rate of almost 3.5 per cent in the first half of this year. Private sector efforts to reduce costs and the government's structural reforms are paying off. Since the FTA, 19 out of 22 Canadian industry sectors have gained a greater share of the U.S. market. Our mer- chandise trade surplus with the United States in the first nine months of this year was up to per cent over the same period last year. Exports to the U.S. were tip 10.5 per cent over the same period in 1991. Through hampered by a dogged recession, this plan is bergimung to get results - as 1 have mentioned, the results are there. And by continuing to follow- the sound policies that improve the way our economy operates. we can ensure that these positive results continue to be seen.
