Apr. 30, 1986 .Opinion a page for expression for you and us Happy Birthday by Bob Watson We were told last week by a reader that we missed the 60th. birthday of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth. So here is a belated happy birthday to a woman who has dedicated her life to serving her people - and she does' Most people in the world should be envious of our system of government where the head of state is the Queen, or her representatives, and this saves us all from a politically motivated person at the top. Of course, in normal times the political government is in charge of everything, but in those crisis days, such as World War II, the monarchy plays an important role. On a personal note while serving in the RCAF in England I saw the present queen manning a military vehicle as a member of the Women's Army Corps. And I had the audaci- ty as a corporal to tell the Duke of Gloucester that he couldn't come in our radar station because he didn't have the special pass needed. Later in Burma I saw and heard Lord Louis Mountbatten addressing the troops on a hill. All this and I was not a die hard royalist' So on this birthday time of the Queen we wish her good health and may she reign over us for many more years. Traffic Flow We notice lately that car headlights are not like they used to be. About every tenth car seems to have beams which dazzle the eyes but appear not to be on high beam. In fact, they blind your eyes as if the lights have been adjusted up- wards or were installed wrongly. A survey of what cars do this, appears to show that they are those compact varieties and latest vintage vehicles which are a diversion from a Jeep. We understood that there is a law against high beams and we wonder why the police are not enforceing such standards as these high beams are a definite hazard to safe driving. Keep Your Licence Plates Transportation and Communications Minister Ed Fulton is reminding Ontario motorists to keep their licence plates when they sell or scrap their vehicle. "Owners are responsi ble for vehicles bearing their licence plates." said Fulton. "If your vehicle is sold. repossessed or wrecked. you should make sure you remove your licence plates to avoid getting any future fines for that vehicle." In addition, motorists are required by the Highway Traf- fic Act to keep their plates clean and clearly visible. "If the paint is wearing off the numbers or letters. owners should purchase a new set from their local licence issuing office,.. Fulton added Health Care Accessibility Act The Chinese Canadian Medical Society is strongly oppos- ed to the Health Care Accessibility Act. and even more so to the Draconian nuammer that the Government of Ontario is introducing it, says the society. While banning extra -billing by physicians in Ontario, Bill 94 has very little to do with health care accessibility. The long waiting lists at chronic care institutions, some acute care programs. and various medical specialties are totally unrelated to extra -billing and neither is the lack of medical services m remote Ontario communities. Therefore, the in- troduction of Bill 94 will not improve accessibility. The Government of Ontario. the New Democratic Party and the public media have depicted all doctors as greedy. which is grossly inaccurate and unfair. The medical profes- sion. in its dedication to the public, has provided many ser- vices free of charge, and yet is rather unappreciated for them. charges the society. These free services include: serving on hospital commit- tees. being on call at hospitals and in private practice, giv- ing telephone advice, answering questions from relatives and providing emotional support by phone, filling prescrip- tions by phone, signing passport documents, filling govern- ment forms for unemployment insurance, family benefits, etc. writing medical support letters for sick leave, and speaking to community agencies on behalf of patients. The medical society asks: "These free services can oc- cupy 10 to 20% of a physician's time. How many other pro- fessions would donate that much time to their clients"' The Chinese Canadian Medical Society believes that the Government of Ontario is using Bill 94 to avoid addressing the real health care accessibility issues. In this process, the freedom of physicians as independent professionals is sacrificed, and the public is being misled. r!

Bob's Notes Technology .-agreement With German State Ontario and the German state of Baden-Wurttemberg have signed an agreement aimed at encouraging German high-technology companies to establish operations in the province, Hugh P. O'Neil, Minister of Industry, Trade and Technology has announced. "This memorandum of understanding encourages com- panies in Baden-Wurttemberg to enter the North American market by locating in Ontario through joint ventures, licen- sing arrangements or direct investment," Mr. O'Neil said after signing the agreement with Martin Herzog, Minister of Economy, Small Business and Technology for the Ger- man state. 25 Professions New To Health Care Twenty-five health care professions will be included in a new provincial regulatory system which will replace cur- rent legislation, Health Minister Murray Elston has an- nounced. Seven of these professions will become a regulated health profession for the first time. They include audiologists, dieticians, medical laboratory technologists, occupational therapists, respiratory technologists, speech- language pathologists and midwives. A widwifery task force was established in January by Mr. Elston to recommend to him and Greg Sorbara, Minister of Colleges and Universities, a framework for how midwifery should be practiced in Ontario and how an educational pro- gram can be developed and implemented. Recommenda- tions for the regulatory reform were made by Toronto lawyer Alan Schwartz, who heads a team that has been reviewing health professions legislation since 1983 If you have a poem you've written why not send it to us for inclusion in this space. Folk Dance Jamboree May 12-13 Colourful folk costumes and bright swirling ribbons will dazzle spectators when 3,000 Scarborough public school students take to the dance floor during the an- nual All -Scarborough Folk Dance Jamboree on May 12 and 13.

Bob's Notes Hit Show Returns .'Health Spell" is back! Due to popular demand, the suc- cessful educational play presented by the Ontario Ministry of Health for school children in grades three to six has returned for its sixth season. And for the fust time, a French version, -IA Santis C'est Pas Sorcier." will also tour the province. Two casts - one English and one French - will perform a total of log shows across Ontario from Apr. 19 to June 6. Victims Of Sexual Assault Reg Stackbousse, M.P. - Scarborough West. reports that the Canadian government is spending $102.333 for research to help the Metro Toronto Police to pian and monitor new strategies and services for victims of sexual assault. The Hon. Perrin Beatty. Solicitor General, says that this contract will provide a researcher for two years. The aim of the research will be improved ••delivery.. of services by police and other agencies to help these victims. The pro- gram will be assisted also by provincial authorities. hospital officers. and the Metro Action Committee an Public Violence Against Women and Children. Smoke -Free Spaces For Kids Casa Loma is the first castle in Canada to beoome "Smoke -Free". In March 1986, Casa Lana banned smoking during the day for staff and tourists. Marilyn Haggerman, a volunteer with the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Ontario presented Casa Lana General Manager Howard Muchnick with a commendation plaque and flag. Smoke -Free Spaces program was introduced nationally in January ISM. The co-sponsor of this program is the Canadian Home and School & Parent-Teacher Federation. The main objectives are to promote non-smoking as the norm, and to motivate adults who work with young people to set a non-smoking example in spaces where kids frequent and to create a nvirmiments where it's okay Not to smoke. Energy In Motion There are many ways to get from Point A to Point B, but the trick is choosing a way that is fun, energy-efficient and economical. The Kortright Centre for Conservation demonstrates the alternatives when it presents Energetic Movement, every Saturday and Sunday in May, at 3 p.m. Good old-fashioned muscle power is featured throughout the month with a display of antique bicycles at the centre. A maintenance clinic for modern-day bicycles will be held on May 3 and 4, and information about bicycle routes in Metro Toronto will be provided. The following weekend May 10 and 11, the focus shifts to sporting activities. Kayaks, canoes and sailboards will be displayed, and a talk and a film about sailboards will be presented. Very Strong Demand Price increases in excess of ten percent have been com- mon for most categories of housing in the greater Toronto area in the past year, according to the latest Royal LePage Survey of Canadian House Prices. "Builders are having difficulty keeping up with demand for new homes and have been increasing their prices. This has had a spill-over effect on resale housing prices," adds Higgins. "The supply shortage will be helped by the people who are expected to list their homes for sale during the traditional spring selling season, as well as the con- siderable number of people who will sell resale homes to take possession of newly -built homes. This should take some of the pressure off resale prices." Carrier Routes Open!

This fear has driven some parents to extraor- dinary measures to protect their child from the lure of strangers and has created the growing industry of streetproofing. How realistic is this fear and what is the best way to pro- tect our children? Scarborough Block Parents presents an open forum entitled "Awareness vs Fear - A Parent's Diem - ma" an Wed.

Critics of streetproofing argue that some parents are scaring c bildren in- stead of protecting thea. Frightened and distrustful children believe thpt every stranger will harm then. Too much streetproofing creates the impresaioo that the world is a hostile and dangerous place. Critics also charge that the grow- ing market of streetproof- ing boots, cartoons, games etc. is based on parent's fears and exploits their anxieties.

Bill Watt's Worlds IN PRINT: One of the most delightfully informative books to come to our recent attention is How To Use The Power of the Printed Word ( Anchor Press/ Doubleday). Col- lated from the Interna- tional Paper Company's award winning campaign, this thin softcover has 13 one read, write cont- _ .municate better. (How we wish some of those cam- prter hot shots could read it!) All are well written and all are of value both technically and artistical- ly. Tony Randall writes on how to improve your vocabulary, Bill Cosby on how to read faster, Steve Allen on the enjoyment of the Classics, James Micihener on the proper use of a library and George Plimpton on bow to make a speech - As well, however, there are articles on how to spell by John Irving and how to punctuate by Russell Baker. For an aspiring writer this book ranks right up there with The Elements of Style by Strunk and White. For anyone it is an en- joyable experience. Who knows, if enough read it, wea return to civilited letter wriMaking It ( Dell l Double- day) is by Micki Moore whom many will remember as the hostess of You're Beautiful on TV. It's intended to help one get what one wants out of lave, sex and career. It's difficult for us to assess its value. It's the sort of thing that Elmer Wheeler used to do but up- dated to include present day society's approach to morals and conduct. One supposes there is value here - certainly it's easy to read thanks to Miss Moore's associate writer, Helen Bullock - but we can't help remembering having met Miss Moore and thinking of her as less than gracious. Her book seems to us to be a case of "do as I say, not as 1 do". Anyway, try it for yourself. It can't hurt and it unoriginal.might be helpful if The Money Burn (Dell' DoubledayI is a cracking good adventure yarn written by a Canadian and set in Canada. It has to do with a heist of money intended for the Royal Mint where it is to be burned because of its age and condition. Of course, there are serial numbers but they have not been recorded. And, who would challenge the presentation of an old bill? It is the kind of situation that we have all dreamed of exploiting because we all have larceny in our hearts. Anyway, we're not giving anything away when we tell you that the heist works but, as one expects, there is a surprise twist. Actually, it's so obvious that you'll feel like kicking yourself for not seeing it from the Author Tony Foster is a bit rough in style but he surely tells a great story and we look forward to reading more of his stuff. Who says we ain't got style! Omni's Catalog ( sic) of the Bizarre is all that the ti- tle implies. Well... almost all. It's not a catalog ( sic ) but rather a collection of some of the more unusual items featured in Omni You'll read several UFO updates and any number of short features about such as carp, which might hold the secret of longevity, robots with sexual capabilities, and taking over of our bodies by spirits and even another explana- tion of the Loch Ness mooster. This Omni i Doubleday softcover is great subway reading and a good source of cocktail party conversa- tion. We're sure all will enjoy it but remember ( and it is included in the book Goethe's statement that Belief is not the beginning but the end of all knowledge". PEOPLE'S THEATRE: Although this writer still thinks of it as new, The O'Keefe Centre for the per- forming Arts is now into its second quarter century of operation.

We haven't too many details at this writing but will pass them on. when we do. Looking considerably further ahead we should mention some of the attrac- tions planned for November at The Hall. Burl Ives is going to be there. We could be wrong but we don't recall Mr. Ives ever appearing in Toronto. Certainly we've never seen him and we look forward to suing and hearing the man who has probably done more to farther the cause of folk music than anyone else. Watch for feedback on that statement! Two other attractions in November sound in- teresting. There is Lard of Hope and Glory about which we know nothing but rather imagine is an even- ing of British "patriotic„ music. One imagines much Elgar, Walton and Ketelbey. Then there is the Palm Court Theatre Or- chestra. Dare one hope it's an offshoot of one of the late Victor Sylvester or- chestras? You want music? Stay in Toronto! FAST EXIT: We rather like the com- ment of reed man George Howard about his music. He favours R&B and pop to the extent that most jazz fans are loath to call his music jazz. "I don't call it jazz," he stresses. "I call it good music."

Around Community Theatre by Fraak Williams St. Peter's Choral Socie- ty staged its 21st Gilbert and Sullivan production these past two weeks in the Wilfrid Laurier Caliegiate auditorium. This group developed from a church choir to a full fledged G & S society. This year's choice was "The Yeomen of the Guard" which stands apart from all other works of the pair in its seriousness and the reality of its characters. The plot revolves around mistaken identity and substitution for a man, Col. Fairfax, falsely accused by his cousin and condemned to death. The cousin wants to inherit his money. To thwart his cousin's aspirations for his wealth and title, Fairfax marries a singer. Elsie Murguard, just before his execution so his fortune will go to his widow. Ibis is agreed to Elsie's sweetheart, Ja* Point, the fool entertainer. He sees no risk in Elsie marrying a condemned man but the plot turas when Fairfax escapes and is later pardoned. And it is with this that Jack Point demands sym- pathy from the audience but it did not happen in this production. Stan Farrow gave his usual excellent back up support on the piano and there was some excellent singing and voices on stage which is this company's main strength. The costumes were col- ourful and realistic to the 16th century except for the three archins who seemed to have escaped from Oliver Twist. Their costumes were completely wrong for this show. The stylized set clashed with the realistic costumes and gave a dark sombre hue to the production. Even today the Tower of London stones are a warm buff col- our and where was the tower green? A pile of boxes painted black and stuck in the mxl- dle of the stage seamed to hamper chorus movement more than help the flow of the show. The stocks on the right hand side of the stage as an opening gimmick later became an eye distraction. The lighting plot seemed to be for another show and was gimmicky for a Gilbert and Sullivan production. Dam Wells, the director, paced the show quite well, in fact, too well as I had prolAe ms in the dietien of The chief offender was Jack Point (Colin McPhee) who had some lovely songs but tended to rush than. One mist also remember that a Canadian audience does not always catch an English accent if spoken too quickly. Pacing does not mean speaking fast. The solos, duets and quartets were sung well in balance, harmony sound and tone. I notice Dan Wells functions as musical director for the show and does an excellent job. Perhaps St. Peter's Choral Society is now ready for an experienced artistic or dramatic director to pull it all together as part of the team.

Report from Queen's Park By George Ashe. MPP Durham West TASK FORCE LOOKS AT SERVICES FOR ELDERLY Between 1986 and the year 2001 Ontario's population of senior citizens will be boasted by half a million. A Pro- gressive Conservative task force, chaired by my colleague York Centre MPP Don Cousens, has been organized to seek public input and discussion on how the community should prepare for this increase in the number of senior citizens and develop a more humane and stimulating environment for them. Traditional policy has been to direct senior citizens to in- stitutions, such as nursing homes. Nearly 10 percent of On- tario seniors live in institutions, almost double the rate in the United Kingdom. Institutional care is not only costly, it is not always re- quired for many of our elderly. More than half the seniors who reach ages 85 to 90 in our province lead active, indepen- dent lives. It has been estimated that continued institu- tionalization of the elderly will cost the province $6 billion by 2001. The task force will be looking at ways of encouraging greater community care for seniors. Improved homemaker services, and greater support to allow the elderly to five ac- tive lives in the community will be studied. One approach the task force is looking at is to boost pro- vincial support of volunteer agencies from 50 to 80 percent. Start-up grants could be provided for groups to organize in communities lacking home support programs. Senior citizen housing co-operatives could be established Speaking To You Scott Fennel M.P. Onb b RkHM The events of the past week have forced many of us to reflect upon the seriousness of mounting modern-day ter- rorism. We have reached the point where we are avoiding travel abroad because a few deranged extremists insist on carrying out savage attacks against innocent, unsuspec- ting, and defenceless people. These evil and reprehensible acts have instilled fear into the hearts of citizens throughout the world. In such a case, the civilized, democratic world has no choice but to say: no more: we will not tolerate further in- cidents like the bombing of the Air India flight, the TWA airliner, and the West Berlin discotheque. With respect to Libya, Khadafy has demonstrated a con- sistent lack of respect for international law and for the ac- cepted norms of behaviour. The American strike against Libyan terrorists and military targets was an extraor- dinary measure, and it is profoundly regrettable that inno- cent lives were lost in this undertaking even though every effort possible was clearly made to avoid civilian targets. Certainly, the American decision was not taken lightly. In essence, after vigorously pursuing a variety of diplomatic and economic options, the U.S. was left with no alternative but to take military action against a country which posed an even Beater threat to the citizens and interests of the United States and, indeed, to those of all democratic coun- tries throughout the world. Terrorism has gone too far, and unless we take concrete steps to stop it. we ourselves are really jut as responsible for its perpetration as are the madmen who design and carry it out. ................... Spring is here and tax forma have been completed and Pul- ed. For many of us this is a straight forward task. Still, things have become very complicated over the years with rules and regulation always changing and new rules being introduced, and for a Beat number of taxpayers, the tax form is not a straight forward affair. These people must often depend upon others for the answers to their question. Apparently, there were those who bad the pr+ocesa made even more frustrating and confusing because they unfor- tunately received inaccurate advice from Revenue Canada employees - In response to the recerht criticism of the accuracy of responses to telephone engcnries. the Minister of Revenue has outlined a number of steps being taken to enhance the employees' ability to provide accurate information to assist taxpayers in completing their tux returns. These include: • A comprehensive review of the enquiries function, established under the direction of senior departmental of- ficials, with the mandate of making r et=nmendations for improving quality; • An examination of possibilities for specialization of en- quiries staff, to increase accuracy of responses: • A Public Enquiries Information Bank is being tested which could provide an automated system with a complete range of reference materials for enqu w w5 staff; • Internal directives, nun uals and technical pubiicatiorn are being revised for their readability and easier reference by staff; • Information being provided by enquiries staff is coo- tinually checked. Corrective information resulting from in- dividual test calls is now being provided to all enquiries staff; and • The Tax Guide is being revised to a simpler and more readable publication which could reduce the need for en- quiries and explanation. Staff training is also being increased across the country. PLEASE GIVE BLOOD The Canadian Red Cross Society ..... .. .... .. ••Y:. •. ... • ... ................. .... in more built-up areas. These co-operatives would be located beside a senior citizen community centre, which could be a converted school or under -used government building. The task force will also look at how the focus of institu- tional care for the elderly could be changed from providing long-term accommodation to a rehabilitation program that will allow the elderly to return to community life. In addition, the task force will look at health services pro- vided to the elderly. New investments need to be made in geriatric medicine - the care of the elderly - and a Depart- ment of Geriatrics should be established at one of the pro- vince's medical schools. Care for senior citizens is an important concern, especial- ly with more and more of our population coming of retire- ment age. The task force welcomes all ideas and input. If you are interested in getting involved with the task force and helping chart a new policy for the elderly in Ontario, please get in touch with my constituency office. We will be glad to pass on your indicated interest to the task force.
