AUSTIN TAXI & DRIVING SCHOOL By Appointment Only 282-3567 2 THE NEWSIPOST Thurs. Aug. 23,1979 Opinion a page for expression for you and us . . More Speed, Please The high cost of democracy is not stressed enough these days, but the efforts of Mayor Mel Lastman to bring a plan of development to the North York City Centre shows how Costly it is. The mayor is going to let ratepayers and other individual property owners have another crack at voicing their op- position to the proposals of development even though some two-thirds of the eouncilhave approved of the proposal One developer has stated already that three long years have gone by with government planning, listening to variations and letting democracy vent its feelings. This is grestfor everyone's chance to voice opinion, but the people who have million of dollars tied up for three years at high rates of interest Find it very aggravating to see all possible chances of a profit going down the drain. The answer for the developer, of course, is to transfer his high costs of waiting and waiting to the consumer who will rent or use buildings constructed. And then we all wonder how come prices always go up and hosing is so expensive. In most parts d the United States, a more direct method of development allows developers to get started in something less than a year. Perhaps their development is not up to our higher standards, but there seems to be no doubt in our minds that the ridicules wait of three years here could be cut in half and still allow for opposition to be heard if the system was streamlined. If investors get fed up with local government red tape they will take their millions elsewhere and we will allbe worse in that situation, because we need private investors to take these risks of construction. • — — — — — — — — — — — — — Institutional Jag by Donald Gregory Bastian Canadians are an an 'Institutional jag", purring more people in prisons, mental institutions and aid age homes proportionately than any other delrPlop ed western nation. The reason, according to Albert Rome, a professor of social work at the University of Taranto and a specialist in the problems of the elderly, is a mixture of economics and fear. The health care system rewards instiWtianal living for the elderly - it costs older persons mourn less to live there," Prof. Rose said. "Health care will dries could instead provide incentives and home care services to enable the elderly to stay at Mme as long as possible-" And he pointed out that, for unexplained reasons, Canadians fear integrating the elderly, handicapped and men and women from prisons into the community, coo- trary to trands in atter countries. Abe to ight percent of Ontario's elderly live in institutions, compared with five percent in the more socialist countries of Scandinavia and the United Kingdom. The elderly fear, tqo, but with a difference. A two-year preliminary study of elderly who remain in their own neigh- borhoods. conducted by Prof. Rose and U at T graduate students, revealed a 'Istrong determination" on the part of the elderly to stay out of institutions. This was true, he said, even when it meant a struggle to do things that would be done for them in a nursing home - shopping, cooking meals, cleaning house, and assistance with a wheel chair. The enormous cost of old age institutions to governments and the fierce desire of the elderly to remain in the com- munity are strong reasons for developing more social services to help them stay independent, according to Prof. Rose. He and his research team pian to branch out this year into a major study of elderly persons living at home in small towns and villages as well as in urban centres. He said the preliminary study revealed that those who managed to stay out of institutions in the city usually had one or a combination of factors in their favor: they had the health, finances and psychological in.. dependence to remain selfiehant; - they had an •Innformal support system" - friends, neigh- bors, their children -- or if they didn't, they established a new one; - they had a "formal support system" - social centres, Metals on Wheels, house help (where circumstances per- mitted, the elderly pay all or part of the cast of most of these services). As prof, Rose looks to the future, he sees the problem magnified. A 1978 Ontario Council of Health Report (Health Care for the Aged, 1978) which he directed, estimated that by the yea r 2D01, Ontario will have 1.3 million people 65 and older, who will use 3D percent of all services paid by the Ontario Hospital Insurance Plan. At present, there are about 770,000 Ontarians 65 and older. PICKERING news post Published every Thursday by Watson Publishing Company Limited, Est. 1950 Postal Address Box 111, Agincourt, Ont.

Other banks quickly hopped Governments Too Involved In Housing The 10,000 member Toronto Real Estate Board has produced a report, following one year of study, which strongly condemns Government involvement in the Musing industry. John Shottill TREB President, in making the, HOW TO BUILD CANADA BETTER study public, said: "Publicly assisted housing has bees a hihure which has virtually threatened to bankrupt the nations who it has been tried in greatest measure." Giving an aiample of the incredible casts forced unm taxpayers for sodalized housing, Mr. Shortill said: "If all of the units currently in the ca ostrucdon and planning stages were to come under the jurisdiction of the City of Taranto Housing Department, the total cost to the taxpayers in Canada would be SOD-millim per year within S years. Whereas, if private enterprise alone were given the keedom to supply all the needs of the housing market in the City of Toronto, the total costs to the public puree would only be about $6 -million per year for exactly the same amount at assisted hosing." Mr. Shortill explained: "New housing could be created by the private sector for less than $30,000.00 per unit, whereas public housing units created by the City of Toronto Housing Department, all casts considered, are over $50,000 per unit. Private rental units in existing structure may be acquired ata n average coat of $?5,000 per suite on the open market. It is concluded that new assisted housing units created by the City Dost twice as much to build and operate as existing units in the private housing market. I The administrative costs alone for the City of Toronto Housing Department, not inchnding subsidies or operating costs of the units themselves, works out to about $1.500 per unit per year. The average rent supplest rums around $2,000 per unit per year. Operating casts are estimated at about $2.000 per unit per year. Therefore, the total Cost per unit per year for City of Toronto Hosing Department units is over $5,50D not including any mortgage interest reduction subsidies or contributions from other levels of government. 'There is no doubt in our minds that it was an overreaction to the land and house price explosion boom of 1V2 - INS which provided the opportunity for public housing authorities to become established. The sand and horse price explosion was not caused by either high profits or monopolistic developers. It was canoed by government involvement according to the Federal -Provincial Task Force on the Supply and Price of Serviced Land. The Task Farce Report, better known as the Greenspan Report, said that land banking had fueled the inflation of land and house Men in the early IM's and had contributed little to land use planni ng. 'Under the pressure caused by the boom, senior govern- ments intensified their commitment to land banldin 19TS. increasing funding in Joint land banks that year from about t75 -million to about StWo-million with Ottawa promising to spend half a billion dollars over the nett several years. And that is when the City of Toronto Housing Department gel back into business along with dozens of new local housing authorities and 'non-profit' housing groups." Mr. ShortiII concluded: 'The common illusion at the present time is that a city which has a higher -than -average income, but which cannot afford to take the necessary steps to accomplish what it believes a worthwhile objective, can be subsidized by the taxpayers of the entire country whose average incomes are less, and that in some fashion this an be done in all communities without resulting in financial irresponsibility and the destruction of the purebasing power of our money.

Ministry Report Suggests Changes by Julie Williamsm A report commissioned by the Ministry of Health and presented to Scarborough Council early this week suggests changes in some of the borough's hospitals. The report was prepared by the Scarborough branch of the Hospital Council of Metropolitan Toronto and will be used in the planning of future metro hospital needs. It makes a number of suggestions. It recom- mends that three of Scarborough Centenary's "shelled in" floors be developed for active care, chronic care, and intensive care use. It suggests that Scar- borough General Hospital be given the funding to provide ten additional psychiatric care beds "at the earliest possible op- portunity" and that their facilities be re-exa mined to allow for a 50 bed psychiatric unit in the future. The reports most con- tentious suggestion is the construction of a com- munity general hospital. Although the principle of another hospital has long been recognized by the ';.o24r�;:a.. Thurs.

A second earth berm is now being built south of Highway 401 by the Seven Oaks Community Association, under the supervision of the Ministry of Transportation and Communications. Neilson Road will be carried over Highway 401 by a four -span bridge, however during con- struction, full traffic flow will continue on 401. 'The decision to build this interchange was originally made in 1972 dependent upon increased traffic flow in the area," Mr. Wells said. Traffic overload at the Markham Root - Sheppard Avenue intersection recently led to the tender being called at this time. Mr. Wells noted that transportation has been a subject of major once n to residents of Malvern for many years. The Scarborough North MPP has been working with Malvern residents planning a meeting with Toronto Transit Com- mission senior staff to discuss ways of improving public transit in the area. To help facilitate services at Neilson Road, bus bays have been included at the interchange north and south of Highway 401 on Neilson Road. Mr. Wells said the tenders will be opened at the Ministry of Transportation it Communictions Offices in Downsview on Wed. Sept. 26. councillors agreed wit her.

Scarborough Council approved the constr ucGon of the $2 million venture about two years ago. The approval by the Ontario Municipal Board has taken a long time, and escalating construction costs mean the centre must be smaller than originally planned. The initial pians include a gymnasium, a theatre, an arena, and squash courts, among other things. In a special meeting last week the Recreation and Parks Committee voted to elimi na to the squash courts and the gymnasium. Alderman Joe De Kart says the declining number of school -aged children, and the increasing availability of school facilities are the reasons for this decision. But the decision sW must be approved by the Board of Control and Council, and a consensus may not be easily reached. "This is a hot subject that will get a lot of attention in the next few weeks" De Kort says. Some council members who do not sit on the Recreation and Parks Committee are bound to oppose the decision to cut the courts and arena, he added Many favour the removal of the arena from the plans. DeKort says he feels the arena is an important part of the recreation centre and should be built as planned. Many Scar- borough residents play hockey in ether house or other leagues he says. "We could build five more arenas and I'm sure we could book them all." Other Council members do not agree.

Thanks again to Mr. Joseph Chiavatti for the bus shelter and thanks to Mr. Bill Bolton - Director of Transportation Works Department for his efforts.

Aug. 25.1979 Bill Watt's World PREAMBLE: There's so much activity in Toronto as summer starts turning ever so slowly but surely to autumn that one has dif- ficulty keeping up with it all. Let's give a try though and for starters, review the current attraction . . AT THE O'IEEFE: Cleo Laine is making a welcome return visit to The O'Keefe this week and, once again, it's difficult to express in print what a compelling singer she is. Eyde Game in her prime could probably hit a higher note : among today's singer, young Amanda Lear is capable of lower notes. Streisand has arguably more power and Bette Middler might well have more sheer verve. Judy Garland could interpret lyrics better and Edith Piaf was capable of more raw anational intensity. But, none of the foregoing shared any of the qualities of the others. Cleo Laine has them all! She has spectacular range, she interprets well, she can belt out a song and give it as much intensity as an audience can take. She is in fact, a eonsumate artist. It doesn't matter what she sings . . be it a take df an Mozart or a moving, He's So Beautiful, her attention to phrasing and emotion is such that it evokes wonder over her ability to do it for a full performance. There is a very good explanation however. Her voice is such a perfect instrument and is under such control that she need never worry about it and can devote her energies to getting the very best out of every song she sings. And, it also helps having the superb O'Keefe or- chestra behind her in addition to the John Dank - worth Quartette. Mr. Dankworth has the first half of the show and "BRIGADOON" 7540 KINGSTON RD. 284-1601 West Hill 2841602 All Meals $6.25 N.Y.

"From Our Lives" is the collective remhnlscericess of 22 senior citisrna, all of whoop are residents of Baycrest Terrace, a minimal care institution for able elderly. The Terrace is one of the five components of Boycrest Centre for Gerin tri c Care, 35W Bathurst St. The authors, ranging in age from 70 to 97, are members of the Baycrmt Terrace Memoirs Group. Encouraged by their chairman, Margaret Grabel, 79, and with the financial assistance of a federal New Horizons Grant, the group ap- proa died Mosaic Press last yea r with the idea of having their individual recollections published as a collection. The response of the publisher was enthusiastic so the work of formally writing or dictating began. Sonne members were more comfortable writing in a language other than Eng lub so translations had to be done. Now the type has been set, and the Alleys proofread. The 390 page book, with photographs of the con- tributors will be in the bookstores by mid SeW tember. Each chapter vividly depicts the authors' early yea ns in Austria, Caechoslovakia, Poland, Russia, Hungary, Ger- many, China and Israel, and their subsequent emmigrabon to Canada.

Want Claims Cleaned Up by Julie WiBiaasw It was a flood of a dif- ferent sort. Residents in the Midland Avenue- Fishleigh Drive area are still cleaning up an over- flow of sewage that caused extensive damage and loss of property in many of their homes. Scarborough has been modifying sewage facilities in the area, and earlier this year it engaged a con- struction company to build a new sewer line between the pumping station and a shaft farther east. One of the pipes in the system was sealed off and a narrower pipe was installed. And then the rains came. On July 31st a rainstorm bit the area and the new pipe could not withstand the flow. The sewer lines backed up and about 45 homes were flooded with sewage. Freezers, washers, dryers, and family room furniture were damaged. The question has been one of liability. Mr. George Fidayson. a lawyer who aI F red before the Board of Control last week on behalf of homeowners in the area said it was "quite $14,460 for Srs. Newsletter dear that my people are completely innocent of blame". He told the controllers that a legal settlement between the borough and the construction companies involved might take months. 'The residents are con- cerned that nothing is being done" he said. Many of the homeowners have filed claims with the MP Is Diane Stratas, M.P. Scarborough Centre, is attending the Com- monwealth Parliamentary Association Regional Conference as a House Commons delegate. Mrs. Stratas stated, "It a great honour to be ask to represent cine House Commons at this Con borough but most have not yet been investigated.'There are claims out- standing and we want them settled as quickly as possible" Mr. Finlayson added 'These people want to begin cleaning up." Controller Brian Harrison assured the homeowners that all claims would be investigated by the borough and action would be taken. Delegate w Terence.

Members of the Cham - Vi ons hi p team am: Catcher As the saying goes, if all else fails, read the directions. That's an old adage that cer- tainly applies to home freez- ing. In spite of the fact that most consumers agree that home freezing is the quick- est, easiest, safest and, in most cases, th4 tastiest way to preserve fresh summer produce, there are still quite a few of us who manage to make a few errors each year and end up with frozen food that is of less than adegmte quafity- If you're one of these people you might be able to ward off potential problems by reading the following list of Do's and Don'ts prepared by The Glad Home Freezing Information Centre. Tape this list to a cupboard door so it's conveniently lo"t- ed where you are freezing this summer's fruits and vegetables. DO blanch vegetables. Blanching, which is simply the dunking of a small quan- tity of raw, prepared veget- ables into a pot of rapidly boiling water for a few min- utes, is the basic step to suc- cess in freezing vegetables. There are some exceptions to blanching ... herbs, pep- pers, turnips and tomatoes an be frozen as is. DO use good quality, thick plastic bags which have been specially designed for freez- ing. It is practically impos- sible to ward off freezer - bum, hold stewed fruit or pur6ed vegetables and pro- tect the delicate flavors of most fruits by using plastic bread bags or the supermar- ket type designed to trans- port your vegetables from the store to your crisper. These are not thick enough to provide a proper mois- ture barrier. Furthermore, many of these bags, particu- larly those from milk, carry natural food bacteria which washing may not destroy and which could affect the quality of your frozen foods. DO select the best quality freezer bag you can afford. The investment is small com- pared to the cost of the food and the time invested. Look for bags which are thick to protect against moisture loss and resist tearing or splitting. Irr F. `1 Aj II If all else fails, read the directions. The Glad variety is a good DO label every package of food you freeze. If you put nothing else on the label, at least indicate the date. Some people report disappoint- ment in their products as- suming they were last year's vegetables when they could be two years old or more. The best way to label a pro- duct is to date it in the same fashion as supermarkets us- ing the "Best Before" con- cept. You would need a freezer guide that tells you the maximum time any given food should be frozen. One such guide may be obtained by writing to The Glad Home Freezing Centre, 165 Univer- sity Avenue, Toronto, On- tario M5H 3B8. DO buy freezer bags that come packaged with labels to help you get in the habit of labeling. The Home Freez- ing Kit concept used by the makers of Glad freezer bags is helpful in this respect since the bags come packaged with labels, twist -ties and a straw to remove any air trapped between the pieces of food. DO remove all air in the bags of any food that won't expand when it freezes. To do this, when the freezer bag Ontario Pear Almost Here The Ontario pear season is just around the corner, the first pears coming to market around Aug. 26. The crop is expected to be good is filled, insert a straw into the mouth of the bag, hold- ing the bag tightly around the straw. Draw the as out of the bag, slip out the straw and twist the bag around a few times_ Then quickly twist -tie tightly. DON'T blanch too much at one time. Work with small amounts, blanching only a pound of vegetables at a time, bagging those, putting them in the freezer, and starting over again. By the time the second batch is done, your first batch will have begun to freeze. DONT over -blanch. Each vegetable has an optimum blanching time and how you prepare that vegetable will change that time. Use a good blanching guide (see address above) and make sure that when you dunk the veget- ables into the bonding water (either with the vegetables tied in cheesecloth or in a metal basket)the water takes no more than 1 minute to re- turn to a boil. If it takes lon- ger you are trying to blanch too much at one time for the the amount of water you are using, or your stove just can't handle the large vol- ume. A good rule of thumb is to use 1 pound of veget- ables per I gallon of water.

Markham Gymnasts Visits Scarborough Members of the Markham Gymnastics Club will perform at the Scar- borough Civic Centre on Thurs. Aug. 30th at 8:30 pm. The Markham Gym- nastics Club was established in September, 1978. and operates seven days a weep on a year- round basis, emphasizing individual coaching for girls by highly qualified professionals. Apart from the Girls' Gymnastics Classes. the club offers Adult Gym- nastics, Ladies' Fitness Classes, as well as a Boys' Program. The performance will be followed by the Civic Centre's regular Thursday Night Movie at 9 p.m. This week's feature is the popular film "Bugsy Malone", will begin to arrive, and, around the first week of October, Anjou and Bose pears come to market. Select pears that are green and firm, but yield slightly to gently pressure at the stem end, suggest the food specialists at the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food. They are not ripe at this stage but can be ripened at cool room temperature. Remember that pears ripen from the inside out, so don't wait until they're soft an the outside. A ripe pear will be greenish yellow, will give slightly to pressure from the palm of your hand, and have a fresh pear aroma. Store ripe pears uncovered in the refrigerator. Wash when ready to use. You're in for a treat when you bite into a fresh, juicy pear. The skins are quite thin and tender, so that peeling is not required. Pears are easy to serve in other ways, too. They add a delicate flavor and texture to fresh fruit salads. Pear halves filled with cottage cheese or fruited yogurt are ideal for a luncheon salad plate. To form a smooth pocket in the pear half, scoop the so ds out with a teaspoon a melon ball cutter. Watch for the arrival of Ontario pears Their quality and fresh flavor are hard to beat.

Whether you pian to cook then, eat them raw or freeze them for later, now is the time to stock up, say the food specialists at the Ontario Ministry d Agriculture and Food Zucchini is a summer aquash, and, unlike the late or winter varieties, it has a tender and edible skin. Look for zuechinin that is firm, has a good green color, and is free from soft spots. It should be heavy for its size. Since it is a very Denier vegetable, zucchini requires only a short cooking time. To capture its delicate flavor, the best Docking methods include pan frying, steaming, boiling and baking. Zuechirin gees well with other vegetables such as lamatoes, green peppers, and eggplant, all of which are readily available during August in Ontario. C®bine these vegetables to make tasty summer casseroles. For something different, stzucchini raw. It's great in salads. Just wash and cut in slices or chunks. There's no need to ped. Zucchini is also a good choice to include on a raw vegetable tray with a tasty drp. Freezing zucchini is very simple. Just wash it, art in slices, then Manch for 2 minutes. Chill quickly and drain well before packaging. Freese im- mediately. As an alter- native, after blanking, zucchini can be frozen in a singlelayer on a tray. Once frozen, it should be packaged and returned to the freeser. Renovating Lawns Late August is the best time to rejuvemie weak, patchy lawns, says Burke McNeill. Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food extension horticulturist. "Cool fall weather stimulates grans growth, and seedings will have time to establish good root systems before winter," be says - Poor lawns can be revitalized with adequate watering or improved soil fertility and condition. If lawns have few bare spots, and the topsoil is god, a complete reseeding a unnecessary, says Mr. McNeill. To avoid waste, reseed only the bare spots that are mere than Tit cm square U square foot). Apply a good herbicide before spreading the seed. Thin lawns require a topdressing to provide a suitable seedbed. "Prepare lawns for complete reseeding by removing all dead and cut vegetation," suggests Mr. McNer71 "Apply a her- vici de of recommended rates to kill remaining turf." This treatment will "burn off" the vegetation without leaving harmful residues. When the turf grass is dead, cultivate the top 5 cin (2 inches) of soil, rake lawn surfaces, and sow the seed. For best results, seed by mid-September with a good grass mixture, such as creeping fescue and Kentucky bluegrass. Report From Queen's Park by George Ash e,MPP During this United Nations' Year of the Child, the Government of Ontario hell been emphasizing and stressing the fact that our children are our single, most important assurance for the future. Ideally, the family environment is the very best place for children to barn and grow under the iguidance and discipline of laving parents. Unfortunately, this ideal is not always realized and it is then that society demands the government intervene to ensure that children with special problems and needs receive the care they ! require to become self-sufficient, contributing adults. In the past, there has been a tendancy to put children with special needm into iodated categories, such as "ham. dropped,or "ddinqueat" Each of these problems have been handled by a different service group. For example, Juvenile Court dealt with deliognent children, while neglected children were looked after by the ghildren's Aid Society. It is rather obvious though that the two problems should really bled together, because quite often a child will become delinquent because of neglect. For the past two years, the Honourable Reith Norton, Minister of Community and Social Services has bow working very hard to change this attitude of separate agencies dealing with just one aspect of a child's special seeds Mr. Norton is personally committed to the fun- damental belief that the total well-being of children with special needs must be considered in order to correct the problem. f , His initial step m meeting this goal was to place all the various provincial government agencies under one um- brella Atter two full years of work, the Children's Services Division at COMSOC now has responsibility for Children's Antal Health Services (from the Ministry of Health), Juvenile Division (from the Ministry of Correctional Ser- vices), and Observation and Detention Hames (from the Ministry of the Attorney General), as well as the Day Nurseries Branch and the Child Welfare Branch of the Mioiatry of Community and Social Services. The physical collecting together of this Division has been a long and omerou s task, but tbeChddren's Services Division a now set up and operating. The Chilt reds Services Division operates an the prm- ciples that, first of all, children are best served in the bog run when we direct our efforts bwards prevention of problems and secondly, when we recognize the best chance of success in helping children is to enlist the active support of a chills family, friends and neighbours. To meet these goals requires input and assistance from local com- munities. To obtain this input, the Provincial Government is now encouraging the establishment of Local ChddreWs Services Committees in communities drougtmout Ontario. It is anticipated that individual citizens who are interested in and knowledgeable an the special problems of children will agree to serve on their Local Children's Services Committee, and that the various government and pnva4 agencies for children in the community will cowdiaate ; their programs through the Committee. I am very pleased to tell you that many of our local people are working hard to coordinate children's services in Durham Included in this group are representatives from Dunham Hees, the Aja: -Pickering -Whitby Association for the Mentally Retarded, Fame House and the Durham Distrid Health Council, jest to name a few. As well, staff from the Derham Family and Children's Services, Durham Board of Education and the Children's Aid Society are coaperatrng to the fullest. Ultimately, the Local Children's Services Committee would keep an iwentary of all the children's services available in the community, it would identify any duplication of service (and thus save money) and any Slaps in the services provided, and make recommendations to the Children's Services Division of the Ministry on action required by the Province. Because children really are our single, most important asset, it is hoped that through the unselfish efforts of these; people every chid will be given an opportunity to become ai self4lufficient, cantiibutumg adult, which will do much to guarantee the future of this province and this country. 11011019 FOOD MARKET Hwy. 2 Rouge Hills just east of Rouge Bridge FREEZER SPECIAL Al RED BRAND BEEF Sides ib.$1.59 Hinds lb -$1.99 Cut & Wrapped to Your Satisfaction
