While swimming in the ocean off Fkhrida's coast, a life guard ordered all swimmers to come ashore when a waterspout was seen. I'd like to know more about waterspouts. Can they come ashore? M.C. A. Waterspouts are similar to tornadoes but are created over water instead of land. They can travel on land, at least for a little while, before they dissipate. In the process, they can uproot trees and Overturn vehicles. But this is the ex- ception rather than the rule. Waterspouts typically form over tropical waters when the air is unstable. They are funnel -shaped vortexes which extend from cumulus type clouds down to the surface of the water. Made mostly of atmospheric water vapor and spray from the body of water, waterspouts have diameters ranging from a few feet to hundreds of feet. Winds in the spout may exceed 100 miles per hour. The most violent ones actually may be tornadoes which have formed over land and have traveled out to sea. Q. Which painting was Vincent Van Gogh's last? N.D. A. In the summer of 1890.

Mar. 11. 1987 Opinion a page for expression for you and us The North York Strike It is unfortunate that the strike of North York inside and outside workers has gone in the direction that it has. And it seems very strange for the leadership of this union to say that the strike happened because Mayor Lastman made some remarks. As the mayor says a strike should be about pay increases not comments. The mayor has made it very clear - and the unions know very well from dealing with Mr. Lastman over the years - that there is just so much money available from the tax- payers and that is it. The union leadership knows that what Mel Lastman says he means and this unfortunate strike could go on for months. In the end it will become a question of the integrity of the mayor versus the ability of the union leaders to make decisions. We suggest to the union members that they get their leaders to sign now before they all lose more money and the citizens of North York lose what they have been paying their civil servants for - service' We Are Very Fortunate by Slob Watson Each time that 1 return from a trip outside of Canada, I must confess that we Canadians - especially those of us who live in the Metro Toronto area - are very lucky people! We have the best piece of real estate in the world, a great health system, and less creme In the streets than any other urbanized sector in the world. So let's pause once in a while and cherish this beautiful lard and thank God that we are here' Living in such a great land does make some of us wonder what the politicians think about in this regard. Some days one gets the distinct impression that some of them are try- ing to ..screw up" the place. Then the trade unions - especially the public service unions - seem to believe that there is more for them and the taxpayers can go fly a kite' They are wTong - we are all in this deal together - and we will keep this beautiful land together or all of us will fail in one lousy heap. There are going to be job re -allocations now and in the future as technology and competition from abroad and costing affects each one of us. This is a time to be very flem- ble in one's mind because not many of us will be ab;e to re- tain our one job all of our lives. In fact. the current trend is to have as many as five careers in one lifetime - and our educational system should be telling young people that this is a time not to get stuck in one kind of occupation and ex- pect it to last forever - it wron't' To keep our minds on track let's keep thinking about how great our country is and how a little movement on the part of each one of us could keep this Canada alive and still the best' Alcohol & Drug Problems Many people are surprised to learn that at least 20 per- cent of patients treated in hospitals have alcohol or drug problems in addition to other illness. A staggering four out of five of those with alcohol problems go undetected. Recently the Addiction Research Foundation (ARF) spon- sored a one -day conference bringing health care profes- sionals together to explore drug and alcohol issues facing Canadian hospitals. Alcohol Abuse The Government of Ontano appears ready to laugh in the face of all research and the best advice of organizations in- volved in the prevention of alcohol abuse. That, at least, would be the result of an acceptance of many of the pro- posals submitted by the nine -member Government com- mittee investigating Ontano's liquor legislation. Several recommendations (i.e. BYOB restaurants, round-the-clock alcohol service to hotel guests, relin- quishing control of the drinlang at private events and the extension of tavern lours), seem determined to increase alcohol consumption in Ontario. With the cost of alcohol abuse already exceeding two billion dollars, one wonders how much more Government alcohol promotion the citizens of Ontario will tolerate??!! Sincerely, Karl N.

How To Use Stress To Your Advantage Nature equipped our bodies to cope with stress, a blessing in this ever -faster moving world. Being under pressure from time to time can be good for us, forcing our heart to beat faster and raising blood pressure to get us ready for "fight or flight". In this situation we can become more alert, productive, efficient and successful if we control the severity and dura- tion of these peaks. If we can't and it seems the stress never ends, then our bodies might begin to break down under the pressure. Headaches, ulcers and chronic high blood pressure are just a few of the possible consequences of stay- ing too long in the fast lane. Most people welcome the lift the occasional stressful period can give. A person's mental make-up and condition- ing determine whether stress improves or detracts from their performance. For example, if you're happy in what you do, even long hours of very hard effort will have no ill effects. On the other hand, a person who hasn't learned to use leisure time constructively may become ill just from sitting and brooding. Other mental factors which can lead to stress are an in- ability to accept change, allowing yourself to be bored and not doing anything about it, always putting things off until the last minute and trying to achieve unrealistic goals. If dealing with stress becomes so unbearable it leads to depression or physical problems, consult your doctor. He or she will carefully seek out the cause of your problem and prescribe the right treatment. Your pharmacist can discuss the many medications available to control the harmful effects of stress. These can Weed recovery while the necessary personal adjustmettts are made to prevent a recurrence. _._..... Bob's Notes A Victory For Consumers Reg Stackhouse. M.P. Scarborough West. has learned that the Toronto -Dominion Bank, as of Mar. 1st. will lower its Visa credit card rate from 18.6% per annum to 15.9% per annum. Also, at the same time the bank will lower its an- nual fee from $12.00 to Slim. Stackhouse says, "I commend the T.D Bank for taking this action. The T.D. is playing fair with the customer. It was unfair for interest rates to fall and credit card rates to stay up. The challenge to the other institutions is to burry up and play fair ball too. This victory shows what can hap- pen when Parliament works together. It means hundreds of thousarxls of dollars will be put into the pockets of coo- sumets. It's a victory for the people won by their represen- tatives." An Open Letter To The Prime Minister Of Canada The Rt. Hon. Brian Mulroney During yaw recent visit to Zimbabwe. you expressed the sentiment of millions of people throughout the world when you abhorred apartheid in South Africa. Although a stand against such an obvious injustice is laudable, the state- ment, your person, your office, and Canada lose credibility because of the hypocrisy involved. Bill 3D is now an act of the Ontario Legislature Which segrates Ontario high-school students into two groups by creating a duplicate, publicly -funded, secondary school system for Roman Catholic students. This is government- sponsored segregation. It is also discrimination. This segregation and discrimination in Ontario is no less repugnant than South Africa's because of the substitution of religion for colour, and indeed, to some it is considered even more repugnant because of its subtlety. When, sir, are you going to address this violation of social unity and human rights in your own back yard. Ontario' Until you do, continued statements about human rights abuses in other countries embarrass Canada on the world stage. As well as being against section 15(1) of our own Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, the abuses in Ontario and South Africa are both contrary to article No.2 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. This Declm- tion was adopted by the UN General Assembly on Dec. 10, 1948, was signed by Canada in 1948, and states that "Everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms set forth in this Declaration, without any distinction of any kind, such as race, color, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth, or other status... We suggest that you concentrate on the establishment of equality and human rights in this country, and make an im- mediate start by insisting on the repeal of Bill 30 in Ontario, so that your criticisms of other governments can be taken seriously. Coalition for Public Education Renfrew County Chapter Box 491. Pembroke, Ont. KSA 6X9 Bob's Notes Attend 1987 World Jamboree A contingent of 500 Ontario youths and scout leaders recently travelled to Australia to attend the 1987 World Jamboree for scouts with the help of a Wintario Develop- ment Grant. The grant of $112,500 was used to defray costs of two days of pre -camp, camp uniforms, equipment and travel to and from their departure point of Vancouver. The event at the Cataract Scout Park near Sydney, Australia provided an adventure for the youths in an atmosphere of fun, good fellowship, challenge and achievement. School Dropouts The Ministry of Education will undertake a special study on school dropouts, as one of several ministry initiatives planned to help reduce the drop-out rate, Education Minister Sean Conway has announced. The study will be headed by George Radwanski, former editor-in-chief of the Toronto Star, who will act as a special advisor to Mr. Con- way. Liquor Law Reforms? Robert Runciman, P.C. Consumer and Commercial Rela- tions critic, has announced suggested amendments to the province's liquor laws which, if adopted by the government, would allow Ontario residents to buy a bottle of wine or a six-pack of beer at their local bar. Runciman's main proposal is to allow lounges and public houses to sell "off -premise" Ontario wines, wine coolers and six-packs of beer from noon to 10 p.m. There are 2,100 lounges and 62 public house licenses Ontario. Similar "off premises.. sales are allowed in Manitoba, Alberta and British Columbia. In addition to expanding the distribution of Canadian beer and wine, Runciman recommends: an end to setting the minimum price for beer. increased use of the designated "agency stores" - private businesses that sell alcohol in remote areas where there are no government stores and an end to regulations that require a fixed amount of a licensed premises receipt to include food as well as alcohol. Nuclear Power Generated Nuclear power provided almost 49 percent of the pro- vince's electricity generation in 1996, up seven percent from 19%. The increase is due to the completion of Unit 8 at Pickering generating station east of Toronto and Unit 7 at Bruce B generating station near Kincardine. Hydro- electric stations provided 31 percent of the total power generated, followed by coal-fired stations at 20 percent. Keep It Clean During the winter months. Lake Simcoe has an enormous invasion of humans swarm on its ice. Most of these people are winter anglers. They use snowmobiles. fishing huts. cars, trucks and occasionally airplanes. They also leave lit- ter. In the early 1970s littering was recognized as a major pro- blem in the winter season on Lake Simcoe. Since then the Ministry of Natural Resources and others have promoted programs encouraging Pie to properly dispose of their litter. Local municipalities provided bins at major access points; litter bags have been passed out to anglers; signs have been erected to stimulate the public's environernntal conscience. The general response has been positive. People took their litter with them. Still, the problem occasionally POPS UIP. Extended Warranties Consumes buying extended warranties for hoax ap- pliances may find the guarantee more fragile than the fridge. Dozers of people have lost money when companies selling these warranties went out of business. Extended coverage is designed to help pay repair casts for appliances no longer protected by initial warranties. If you're in the market for extended warranties, the im- portance of dealing with a solid, reputable company can't be emphasized enough," says Roberta Allan of the Ontario Ministry of Consumer and Commercial Relations (MCCR). "may People buy these warranties for the peace of mind, for the security they offer. But there's little security in han- ding over hundreds of dollars to a company that won't last the year-,. Caution On Quick Cash Consumers should be aware of their rights when they deal with tax discounters, says Harvie Andre, Federal Minister of Consuuner and Corporate Affairs. Some 720.000 Cana- dians paid out about $48 million in 1996 to get their income tax refunds a few weeks earlier. The Tax Rebate Discounting Act now limits a discounter's fee to 15 percent of the forst 2300 of a refund and rive percent of the remainder. On an $800 refund, for exam- ple, you are entitled to at least $730 after the discounter's fee. Long Distance "Reaching out to touch someone" appears to be a fre- quent practice for many Canadians. According to Statistics Canada, in June 1996, 165 million long distance calls were made in Canada.

At school, we bit our nails nervously, and waited for exams, sure we were going to fail. On Sunday, Rev. Moms spoke about " nie• Joys and Sorrows of a Test". tolling us that in the spiritual life, there are three things we must consider about tests. First, testing is necessary and continuous throughout life, so that we may pause and see what we have learned, and ac- comphshed. Without con- tinuous evaluation, we can- not change or improve. Secondly. the tests God makes of us are based on our strengths, not our weaknesses. Like a good teacher, he judges us on those things we can do well, and not on those we can't. It is our strengths that are most frequently our pride, and our downfall. Lastly, the time of testing is a lonely time. Like Jesus facing tempta- tion in the wilderness, we are alone with our greatest trials. Our being alone allows us the inner quiet to learn what we must do. We are never so alone, that God is not there beside us, to aid and strengthen. Rev. Moms will be with us until next Sunday, and will be continuing his Lenten message at that time. A brief meeting of the congregation was held after the service, in which visitation committees were organized, and the plans for Highland Creek Heritage Day were discuss- ed. On Tues.

Around and About. w � Your Dining & Entertainment Guide Bill Watt's Worlds ON STAGE: Hi there Bunky. You say you're tired but can't sleep? Is that what's bothering you pardner? Well, say now, have we got something to put you to sleep. Listen up now tenderfoot. Somewhere west of Parliament St., east of Sherbourne and south of Eastern Ave. is the Toronto Free Theatre. It's a fine old building enjoying a renaissance as the home of some fine plays, most of them contemporary. Unfortunately, the cur- rent attraction, presented by Nightwood Theatre is a long little dogie titled War Babies. It's about a couple in their early forties awaiting the birth of their first calf - whoops! - child. They are Joined by their imaginary alter egos . . one an agorapbobe, the other a stupid philanderer who ends up ( Ends up. Get it?) in a branding position with a pistol up his ah, anus. None of it makes any sense except perhaps as an excise for the playwright to get off some lines that are supposed to be brittle and clever but which are truly. stultifyingty boring - Believe me Bunky; it's sleepy pooh time in the old corral. Can we find anything positive to say about War Babies? To be fair, we think the performers are probably good enough but it's hard to say; they've been saddled with such dreadful dialogue and over all premise as to make any utterance sound suspiciously like a grade school student's first at- tempt at public speaking. We think it's probably kinder not to mention any of their names; heaven knows they're not likely to want to mention anything about War Babies in their performing resurn0s. Well, we think we better auosey off into the sunset with or painful memories of a wasted evening at a possibly well intended ef- fort. Oh, why are we trying to write in the manner of a western novel? Fact is we don't rightly know except that it makes about as much sense as War Babies. Adios .. or should we say vamoose! IN PRINT: As we begin Lent one's thoughts tum more so than usual to life after death. There can be no doubt that there is but it seems there is always someone eager to press new evidence of the fact. The Dead Are Alive (Fawcett! Gold Medal) pro- mises on the cover "astonishing new evidence". The only thing "new" is that spirit voices can be recorded and we suggest that's only because of the technical apparatus that is now available. You will find no new in- sights in this book; only another collection of in- cidents purporting to evidence of communication from beyond the vale. And frankly, we do not accept them. Oh, they are valid but we suggest more evidence of hysteria, hallucination or suggestion than of life after death. We repeat our firm belief in an afterlife but the proof will not be found here no matter how well intended is the author. Sorry. ON RECORD: Pleasure One by Heaven Seventeen (Virgin) is com- mended to your attention. In Sheffield, England, three friends with seeming- ly varying tastes in music decided to pool their talents to create a new sound. Well, it isn't really new but is most certainly better than much that has come down the vinyl in the last little while. The three merged genres are heavy metal, glamour rock ( some say wimp rock) and strict tempo or dance. The result is a danceable rhythm and blues album. Martyn Ware, Glenn Gregory and Ian Craig - Marsh are the three friends and they are confident enough in their "new sound" to use it in hinting at a few political messages particularly on the cut Low Society. It's an interesting album, perhaps too heavy on per- cussion but thankfully lack- ing in synthesized sound. The Greatest Story Ever Told by Balaam and the Angel ( Virgin) is also a col- laboration of three Brits, the brothers Jim, Des and Mark Moms. The album is a hodgepodge of powerful vocals used in supposed angelic choruses backed by traditional instruments (bass drum. flute, church organ et al) mixed with ex- otic musical oddities such as electric guitar ( will we never be shut of these abominations?) recorder and even sleigh bells. Admittedly experimen- tal. the sound is intriguing and curious. We suggest it has greater musical capabilities and is uxleed, reminiscent of early Queen - Watch for the group to at- tain prominence soon. If only they didn't have such a ridiculous name! Skylarking by XTC (Virgin) is encouraging evidence of some musical maturity. Emerging from the cesspool of punk rock, XTC, one of the few punk bands to make it, began to lose favour with its follow- ing after it began to be too pop ( straight) . Well, what the punk fans have lost might turn out to be a gain for those of us with some musical vanes. Like Balaam and the Angel, XTC is experimen- ting with new sounds incor- porated in traditional rhythms- The chirping of birds is an interesting back beat on the cut Summer's Cauldron though one must comment that bird chirp- ing will never take the place of conventional per- cussion. This is the eighth collec- tion of tunes produced by Tod Rundgren. In the main they are jazzy with a distinct '60s sound and that ain't bad but it's not as suc- cessful experimentally as Balaam and the Angels. IN THE CLUBS: The eclectic entertain- ment policy of the Imperial Room continues. After a glorious week of music by the Mantovani Orchestra ( Truly a wonderful experience) it's Ben E. King this week to be followed in successive weeks by Josh Feliciano, Chubby Checker and a return of the review Ain't Misbehavin' featuring the music of Fats Waller. All of the shows open on a Monday and that makes a line from one of the songs in Ain't Misbehavin' singularly apt .. If I go to church on Sunday, then cabaret on Monday, ain't nobody's business if I do. (For those who might be unaware of the fact, Fats Waller was a fine organist and often played the instru- ment at his minister father's church services. One of his albums we'd dearly love to obtain is Waller at the Console in which he plays gospel music. No foolin'. ) A new club called Berlin has just opened on the site of the old Variety Dinner Theatre. We were there after Ben E. King on Mon- day and we'll have a full report soon. For now let it suffice that there's dining. dancing and special guests each week. Live orchestra. Reservations definitely suggested. Wed.

Report from Queen's Park By George Ashe, MPP Durham West HIGHWAY 401 BANDWAGON I am very pleased to see the number of people and political bodies that have now jumped on to the "Widen Highway 4o1 Now" Bandwagon. The more the merrier. In the past (duple of weeks the Dtrbam Regional Chair- man and his Council, The Ajax Council, The Pickering Council, as well, at least one member of Council with other political ambitions, has personally spoken out. We need all the pressure on the Government that we can muster to speed up the Highway 401 priority. Most of you will be aware that this is not a new issue for me. Early last fall I wrote the Minister expressing my con- cerns on your behalf. In early November I expressed my concerns and identified the solution through the local press. My fall 1996 newsletter identified the problem and solution. Early in January my weekly column was on this subject. My point is We Have A Problem, A Growing Problem, and I have been pressing the Government for some period of time to get on with the solution quickly. Your support by your let- ters to me and: or the Minister of Transportation and Com- munisation, Ed Fulton, would be helpful. On a different topic but also a problem. I have been trying since early last September to get the Minister of the En- vironment to accompamy me on a site visit to the Picker- ing, Brock West, Landfill Site. In the early fall he said the late fall. In the late fall he said January. In January he said after the Legislative session. My most recent letter of in- vitation, dated February 12th, the last day of the session, remains unanswered. Liberals talk a good game regarding our environment. Is it possible that they consider Pickering to be a taw -profile local kssue.

Ontario Riding This week I would like to bring to your attention a new government publication called the, "Hot 100: A quick guide to what the Feds are doing for youth". For the first time ever, our government, under the Ministry of State for Youth, has compiled a handbook specifically aimed at the needs of our youth. It is a helpful reference guide, designed to give information on job - hunting, travel opportunities, school choices, scholarships, as well as over one hundred programs, services and ac- tivities offered and funded by the federal government. If you are between the ages of 15 and 24, looking for a job, going to school or interested in travel, this guide will have something for you. Information as to where to apply, what the program consists of and who can apply, are listed in sections. Section I, is an introduction; Section II: It's Your Move: gives you basic information about federal programs and services you can apply for, under the following headings: Jobs & 'Raining; Learning Opportunities; Travel & Culture, and Health, Fitness & Support Services. For example, in the Travel & Culture section information on exchange programs is given such as, No.77: Canada - France Young Workers Exchange Program; No.78: Canada -Mexico Exchange Program for Young Specialists and Technicians, and No.80: the Student Work Abroad Pro- gram. Section III: On Your Behalf, lists the opportunities for programs which are applied by a group or organization on your behalf, such as Ne.99: Outreach, which assists people having severe trouble finding jobs. Section IV: Resources and Section IV, lists books and other materials produced by federal departments and agencies and lists important ad- dresses. I will have a limited number of copies at my constituency office, 52 Church Street South, Pickering Village, Ontario, and please call first to reserve your copy, at: 416486-0432. I feel this is an extremely useful tool for those who are planning their future, not only for youth, but for teachers and guidance counsellors. This is yet another demonstra- tion of our government's commitment to youth.
