How manypeople were killed during the Palisade Massacres? Where and when did they take place? M.T. A. According the historian Gerald B. Higgs, eastern newspapers during the 1870's reported horrifying stories of bloodshed in Palisade. Nevada and their editors called it the toughest town west of Chicago. It all started when passengers alighting from the Central Pacific train nearly got their heads blown off during a street brawl between two gunfighters. For the next three years after that incident, fascinated and appalled travellers continued to watch bank robberies, battles with Indians, and shootouts from their windows as the trains stopped in Palisade. The press demanded that something be done. Nothing was done and the carnage continued, but in ac- tuality not a drop of blood was spilled. The 290 residents of Palisade staged it all. Even the local army troops and Shoshone Indians were in on the joke and no one gave away the sham for three years. In reality, Palisade was so peaceful that it never bothered to elect a sheriff. Q. Is there a unicorn -like whale? G.H. A. Yes, there is. In the Arctic one can find the Narwhal whale. The adult grows to eighteen feet long and weighs as much as two tons. Protruding from the left side of the male's head is a spiral ivory tusk which can extend eight feet. While most females have no tusks, some have two. The tusk may be used to aid in the search for food by stirr- ing up the ocean's bottom. Other than that, its use to the whale is unknown.

A good idea but costly. It costs $1.99 for 4 litres, $6.00 for 18 titres in most supermarts. however with your own water distiller you can produce pure water for only pennies a day.

P. Page 2 1'IkE NIE%r i, ruN-I weo..-�pr. p, 1987 opinion a page for expression for you and us Sexist Words by Bob Watson Before the feminists get carried away too far with their campaign to eliminate "male words", we have to point out some facts about the English language which the feminists on our local councils do not seem to know. The word "alderman" ends in "man" but how do we get around the word "woman" which also ends in "man"?? The word "councillor", which feminists are promoting is a male term as the word "mayor, is as well. So ladies.. pardon me .. women, if one word bothers you all, then we will have to have a major renovation of the whole English language to satisfy your demands for total neutrality. But I don't believe you have the support of a ma- jority of women and men on this topic. Most women, who are aldermen, see the title as it is - a ti- tle and it has no masculine meaning to most people. Are there no other important topics on the agenda?? Poor Manners The New Democratic Party mernbers in the House of Commons disgraced themselves this week when they acted like demonstrators and shouted out in disagreement as the president of the United States was talking. A survey of public opinion will show that the NDP just lost the support of a lot of voters who saw this behaviour as very poor and not in good taste. After all the president, regarclim of his words, was a guest of the House of Com- mons and should have been treated by everyone - including even poorly mannered NDPers - with the dignity which our society feels is proper. NDP leader Ed Broadbent will, no doubt. not comment on his party members' behaviour, but he may. in private caucus. inform these poorly mannered members of the poll results when a down turn shows up for their party. We thought that Ronald Reagan treated the comments with great diplomacy when he stopped and said: "Is there an echo in here". Press Freedom In Bob Watson In, week while listening to CFRB we noted that the On - tarty Liberals were going to bold an annual meeting in Toronto and we felt we should go and tune into what this party was doing. Getting accredited to attend a political convention, a member of the media must be registered by that party. The last federal Liberal convention in Ottawa was "off limits" to us because the party's man in charge of accreditation, former MP David Collenette, informed us that we would not be allowed to attend the convention. That was our first rejection from a political convention in T years - A friendly local MPP's office managed to get us in touch with the media accreditation of the Ontario Liberal Party last week and we were issued with our badge and agenda. To our surprise we noted that all of the workshops dealing with issues were banned to the media, which is the first time we have ever encountered such a ban. After all there is not much that is secret in political campaigning' However, we did get to the luncheon at which Premier David Peterson made his most important speech and he was very good and it is easy to see why the premie- is at the top of the voters' list. The air of victory in the next provin- cial election could be felt in the air of the convention. Our prediction for the date is October 1987 - but that is just a Practical gins' ......... ................................ . Canadianism Is The Best Ism For Canadians!

Guaranty Trust is the fifth largest trust company in Canada with total assets under administration of over 89 billion. Marion had trouble believing that she really was the winner. "At first I thought it was a mistake. Then I thought it was a joke. I didn't remember any contest. But when they asked, 'Don't you want it?', I remembered what had Bob's Notes happened." Norm Richards, branch manger, explains: "As part of our service to our customers, we suggest ways to improve their financial situation with a different product or ser- vice. This is what happened with Marion Smith. We suggested that she transfer her fund into a classic che- quing account, for a better rate of return. She took our suggestion as a way to im- prove the handling of her financial affairs. At the same time she became eligible to enter our Classic Campaign car draw - and she won !

It is also a time to resew our com- nutment to the values of Canadian citummdup and the rights and respomibilities that affect our daily lives.

Scarborough Council, which takes 25% of each tax dollar for its operation, has just approved a 4.1% increase for its share - the smallest in 15 years. It's in- crease adds an extra $16.32 on the average house assessed at $6,000. Scarborough public school supporters face their smallest increase since 1980. Although originally projected at about 5.8%, this year's education tax increase now looks to be just under or at Curbside 'Flower Vendors by Gay Abbate The arrival of spring has brought out the curbside flower vendors and yet another appeal by the city's florists to get rid of than. Although Scarborough Council passed a by-law prohibiting vendors from selling their wares on public property and although Metro Council has given Scarborough the authority to ban vendors from Metro property, the small We fine levied by the courts is not much of a deterrent to vendors who stand to make several thou- sand dollars says florist Norman Janes, owner of Mardi Gras Florist. The police have laid charges against 53 vendors to date but there have been only three convictions. A total of 33 cases are pen- ding the outcome of a Court hearing into whether Scar borough has the authority to enforce Metro's by-law as well as its awn. A deci- sion is expected an Apr. 29. A Scarborough commit- tee has passed a motion to ask the pelice department to step up the level of en- forcement now that the flower selling season has arrived. The building, fire and legislation committee stop- ped short of asking council to increase the budget for flower vending inspections which the board of control already slashed by half to $10,000. Committee member Bob Sanders said he was willing to increase taxes in order to pay for the additional in- spections. But Alderman Gerry Alt.obello told cm n- mittee that if the flower vendors got extra treat- ment then he would de- mand that council also ap- prove extra funds to en- force property standards by-laws in his ward. Jones, a member of the Retail Florists' Association says Scarborough is a haven for street vendors. "We wonder why the pro- blem can be controlled in other parts of Metro Toron- to while Scarborough re- mains a haven for street vendors," he said. :; TOv the 5% mark. A surplus from 1966 will be used to of- fset the tax hike. Paying for education costs 50 cents' out of each tax dollar. The increase would have been even smaller if the Scarborough board of education could keep all of its surplus. However, it gets to keep only about 62% of the $3.3 million surplus. The rest goes back into the Metro kitty. The remaining 25% of the tax dollar goes to run Metro Toronto govern- ment. The Metro increase presently sits at about 5.1% again the lowest in several years. Scarborough Controller Ken Morrish, who sits on Metro's budget committee, says he hopes he can per- suade his colleagues on the committee to bring the budget below 5%. mittee that they stay open has to be approved by the board on Apr. 13, it should be a mere formality since it was passed by committee unanimously and all trustees sit on the commit- tee. Bendale will become a host school to students north of the 401 while they wait for the construction of their own school. This should eliminate the need for numerous portables although it will mean as much as 25 minutes addi- tional travelling time for those students who will be bused to Bendale. Bendale has room for 456 students but its enrollment is currently only 93. Samuel Hearne's enroll- ment has dropped to 156 but can accommodate 453. It is to remain open as a French Immersion school There is currently no such program in the south-western part of Scarborough. French Immersion students currently at Regent Heights P.S. will move to Hearne for the 1988-9 school year. An ex- tended French program will also be introduced at Hearne. The committee's deci- sion was welcomed by both communities who fought to keep their school open but it is bad news for students of Scarborough Village Public School. SVPS, the city's only elementary alternative school, is housed in an old school building at Markham and Eglinton. The school is trying to find new accommodations because facilities there are inadequate. For several years the board has been promising they could have one of the schools which it closes but has found reasons why none of the schools recently closed are appropriate. Bendale was SVPS's only hope since no other schools are up for review. 3Fr. k�xCelebra te L o ca I Govemment Week — Join your local celebration — find out just how important Local Government is to you.

Bill Watt -'s Worlds AT THE OPERA: Idomeneo, Re di Creta now being presented by the Canadian Opera Company at The O'Keefe is one of the lesser known and presented Mozart works and what a pity that is! It's true that the score is not one of Mozart's finest, being rather much lacking in the flow of melody that one expects in the works of the master. There are other pleasures, however. Idorneneo, rather than an opera sena in the truest sense, is a fine example of the 18th century hybrid that combined the musical and poetic orthodoxy of the Italian opera seria with the spectacle of the then Wend - setting French tragedie lyrique. Mozart considered it a grosse opera and the original libretto defines it as a drama eroico. Opera buffs therefore, enjoy it as an intellectual exercise embellished by the glories of the performing arts. Those of us, however, who love opera for its own sake can find all of those gknries and accept them for what they are. This production is an opulent one from the neo - Greco set design through to the gorgeous Georgian costuming all com- plemented by superb lighting and special effects. Regrettably, our space will not permit a full retelling of the visual splendours of the production. Perhaps it will suffice for us to say that we have rarely encountered any finer. And, the sound! Ah. the sound! Tenor Siegfried Jerusalem sings the title role with the authority of a king and the tarmant of a man cursed by the gods who had earlier given him the benison of survival .. to a life he would now prefer to lose. It is a role that calls for fine nuances of character while still demanding the power to fill an opera house. Mr. Jerusalem more than meets the challenge. His sin Idamante is sung by mezzo-soprano Delores Ziegler in a role written originally for a castrato presumably to delineate the difference between tragic father and heroic son. Miss Ziegler has a wonderfully sweet voice that borders an •'pure'. sopra Thisenlends a touch of poignancy equally accep- table ccePtable in the frustration of a father's love denied and the torment of a lover's pas- sion refused. Quite a remarkable performance and one congratulates Miss Ziegler for her accomplish- ment. Our particular kudos, however, are extended to soprano Card Vaness in the role of Elettra. This is a plummy role and the temp- tation to go to excess with it must be strong. Miss Vaness, however, sings it with a passion that is disciplined but never cold. Her despair at and over her frustrated love for Idamante is heart and gut wrenching. Ruth Ann Swenson sings the soprano role of Ilia in a voice of incredible purity and almost succeeds in making one believe that Idamante could love her purity over the promised delights of the splendid Elettra. We have not mentioned all of the singing roles but we ask our word to be ac- cepted that we have never experienced a cast of more uniform excellence. Praise, too, for director Lotfi Mansouri and conduc- tor Leopold Hager for achieving all that is possi- ble with Idomeneo . . an evening of fine opera. IN THE CLUBS: The musical Ain't b isbehavin' is now in the second half of a fortnight's engagement at the Im- perial Room (the final two performances will be this Saturday) and we urge you to see it. Any show featur- ing Fats Waller composi- tions and others that he popularized deserves and rewards good custom. All right then: it's a good show but we'd be less than honest if we didn't suggest that it could be better. It seems to us that the producers give only taken recognition to the fact that the show is intended as a Flory to Fats Waller and has music. A latecomer missing the introduction in the actual recorded words of Fats Waller must wait until the finale to realize the theme of it all. Also, there is more com- edy than is necessary or desirable. Fats Waller could be and often was a funny man but like Louis Armstrong (for example) his music came fust. We offer as well that there is too much dancing - not all of it particularly good - and finally, that ex- cellent singers are allowed to overpower the songs. MidieHe Sweeney, as an example, is a powerful singer and she does a dramatic job on Mean to Me but not in the way that the song was written and most certainly not in a Equity Showcase Presents Shakespeare Equity Showcase presents Shakespeare's "Trodus and Cressida", directed by Hugo Dann, at Harbourfront's Studio Theatre, 235 Queen's Quay W. from Apr. 8 to 12 at 8:30 p.m. In this play Shakespeare weaves together two stories from the Trojan War and embroiders a cynical, bitter tapestry at lechery and war - the trading and stealing of women, and battles of pride, lust and revenge.

The composer - and remember that the song as a light hearted look at the foolish behaviour of people smok- ing reefers, Mr. Sherwood turns it into, or has been so directed, a morality lesson that is rather discomfiting in a cabaret show. Dorian Clark who is also the choreographer possesses a fine voice but pays his fust obeisance to the dance and, in our view, takes away from the songs. The orchestrations are far removed from those of Richard Maltby and musical director/ pianist An Snyder cannot compare with the man whose music inspired the show. No one can of carie but we miss- ed the delicate left hand of Waller while noting that Mr. Snyder's right seems short spanned. And, surely he could do a little more dead pedalling. Ranee Lee probably canes the closest to the spirit of Waller and his music. She is a bony women and, in her role, almost hyperactive. Her voice is true, even pine but Continued on Page 8 Wed.

Greenland, however, remains remarkably unspoiled. The world's largest island (it sprawls over 2,175,000 square kilometres) is a paradise for lovers of the outdoor life and it's fast growing in popularity. Greenland has a fascinating history. It was first colonized by Erik the Red, the famous Norwegian Viking. Ar- c heoiogists believe that be arrived around the sum- mer of 982 and the remains of his farm, Brattahlid, can still be seen. In 1728. Hans Egede, a missionary, established a church and the fust Danish trading post. Of the 50,000 inhabitants who live here today, some 8,8D0 are Danes. The others are Greenlanders - indigenous folk whose looks and customs are similar to the Canadian Inuit. Most people live around the shores of southern Greenland - a spectacular land of mountains, glaciers, fjords, valleys and icebergs, some over 300 metres high. The island abounds in wildlife - reindeer, musk-ox, polar bears• whales, walruses and seals. And there are birds by the score - falcons. grouse, eider ducks. auks. eagles and snowy owls. Greenland is made for adventure and visitors can £zed it everywhere. There are few roads ( the longest is seven kilometres). It's relatively easy to get around though - with boats and with helicopters. The sea is ideal for kayaking: the mountains are perfect for hiking.

The history of Puerto Rico reveals that the Taino Indians, one of many Arawak ethnic groups in the Caribbean, were its in- habitants at the time that Columbus, on his second voyage, fust set foot on the island on Nov. 19th, 1493. In 1506 Juan Ponce de Leon, Puerto Rico's first governor, came to the island where he was initial- ly well received by the In- dian chief Guaybana. During the 17th and 18th century the island was at- tacked by the Dutch in 1625 and the English in 1598 and 1797. By the end of the 19th century the island had suc- ceeded in maturing social- ly, economically and politically from the military fortress role it had played in the past. Following the Spanish- American War in 1898, Spain ceded the island to the United States. � ass Scar orou g Student Turns Entrepreneur 1 I Twelve years ago, 600 franchises from our one Toronto. 1 sixteen -year-old Peter Weiss started two-man office."

The world's largest island (it sprawls over 2,175,000 square kilometres) is a paradise for lovers of the outdoor life and it's fast growing in popularity. Greenland has a fascinating history. It was first colonized by Erik the Red, the famous Norwegian Viking. Ar- c heoiogists believe that be arrived around the sum- mer of 982 and the remains of his farm, Brattahlid, can still be seen. In 1728. Hans Egede, a missionary, established a church and the fust Danish trading post. Of the 50,000 inhabitants who live here today, some 8,8D0 are Danes. The others are Greenlanders - indigenous folk whose looks and customs are similar to the Canadian Inuit. Most people live around the shores of southern Greenland - a spectacular land of mountains, glaciers, fjords, valleys and icebergs, some over 300 metres high. The island abounds in wildlife - reindeer, musk-ox, polar bears• whales, walruses and seals. And there are birds by the score - falcons. grouse, eider ducks. auks. eagles and snowy owls. Greenland is made for adventure and visitors can £zed it everywhere. There are few roads ( the longest is seven kilometres). It's relatively easy to get around though - with boats and with helicopters. The sea is ideal for kayaking: the mountains are perfect for hiking.

The history of Puerto Rico reveals that the Taino Indians, one of many Arawak ethnic groups in the Caribbean, were its in- habitants at the time that Columbus, on his second voyage, fust set foot on the island on Nov. 19th, 1493. In 1506 Juan Ponce de Leon, Puerto Rico's first governor, came to the island where he was initial- ly well received by the In- dian chief Guaybana. During the 17th and 18th century the island was at- tacked by the Dutch in 1625 and the English in 1598 and 1797. By the end of the 19th century the island had suc- ceeded in maturing social- ly, economically and politically from the military fortress role it had played in the past. Following the Spanish- American War in 1898, Spain ceded the island to the United States. 1 - Report from Queen's Park Hon. Ed Fulton lMirftft of Transportation and Communkatbns MPP Scarborough East BRADLEY GETS FOUR PARTY CLEAN UP AGREE- MENT On February 4, Environment Minister Jim Bradley sign- ed a four -party Declaration of Intent to clean up the Niagara River. Representatives of Canada, the United States, New York State and Ontario signed the agreement. Ten months ago, Ontario was the lone hold-out, refusing to approve an earlier draft that did not go far enough to clean up toxic chemicals entering the Niagara River. Over the months, Mr. Bradley successfully achieved the improvements sought by Ontario. Key elements of the agreement include: - a target of 50 percent reduction of persistent toxic chemicals by 1996 from point sources such as industrial and municipal dischargers, - a further target of 50 percent reduction of persistent toxic chemicals by 1996 from cion -point sources such as leaking chemical dumps, - annual reports, starting next year, on technical developments applicable to dump site cleanups, with par- ticular emphasis on excavation and destruction. "For the people of Ontario, .. restoring and protecting water quality is imperative - to maintain our environment and to safeguard our economic, social and physical well- being," Mr. Bradley said. "Ibis agreement ends an era of neglect, and opens a long, no doubt arduous, but I believe ultimately successful cam- paign to clean up the Niagara River and safeguard Lake Ontario and its vast supply of drinking water." "Drinking water alone is reason enough to demand that we clean up this river, but there is more. Restoring the river also protects the long-term interests of the many in- dustries and services that have developed along both the Canadian and U.S. shorelines. These measures ultimately lead to a more secure environment for sustained economic dam-" SESSION 33 PROROGUES One of the busiest sessions of the Ontario Liegiislatuae pro- rogued on Feb. 12th. The thirty-third session at Queen's Part spanned 123 days over 27 weeks. Acing this session. 112 bills were dealt with. of which 61 led to Royal Assent. The Hoare will return in April for a new session. Through the interim, 12 committees will be sitting to deal with a variety of issues. OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY AMEND- MENTS IN'T'RODUCED Labour Minister Biu Wrye introduced draft amendments to the Occupational Health and Safety Act that set out the first comprehensive revision of this act since it cane into force in 1979. This bill is a central part of the Government's effort to ensure that Ontario has the best occupational health and safety record in North America. Mr. Wrye told members of the Legislature, "the draft amendments are designed to ensure that thheobiigations for workplace health and safety are clear to both management and labour and that both workplace parties have the capacity to meet these obligations. If the partes fail, these proposals strengthen the government's hand to enforce the act." In addition, the draft bill proposes greater protection for individual workers. Rights of refusal would prohibit the substitution of a second worker where the fust worker has refused work believed to be unsafe. The act would enshrine in law the right of waters to be paid at least 75 percent of their wages for any time lost because of a wok refusal or a stop wit order. As well, the maximum fine for corporations would in- crease tenfold - from the current $25.000 to $250.000. "On- tario workers have the right to report to the job, every day, free from the fear that they will return home sick, hurt, or not at all," Mr. Wrye said. "These proposals will give greater meaning to that right." FARM EQUIPMENT DEALERS GET CAPITAL TAX REDUCTION Treasurer Robert Nixon has armotarced a temporary two- year tax reduction for farm equipment dealers. The farm equipment industry has generally not participated in the economic upturn being experienced by most sectors of the Ontario economy. "While I don't believe the problem is a long-term one, the hardship these dealers are experiencing is nonetheless very real " Mr. Nixon said in the Horse. The proposal will reduce to a maximum $200 the capital tax otherwise payable by farm implement dealers on their fust $3 million in taxable capital. The legislation to implement this measure will be introduced following the 1967 Spring Budget. The change will be effective for taxation years beginning after Dec. 31, 1986. DEVELOPING OUR SKILLS: WITHOUT FEDERAL HELP Ontario Skills Development Minister Gregory Sorbara has criticized the federal government for ignoring the need for increased funds for job creation and job training pro- grams. Mr. Sorbara said the recent budget of Federal Finance Minister Michael Wilson did not respond to the concerns of Ontario and indeed all provinces and regions in Canada. In particular, Mr. Sorbara said the failure to increase funding for the Canadian Job Strategy hurt all Canada in the long run. He said funding is shrinking at a time when training costs are rising and economic change is escalating. It is a par- ticularly dangerous contradiction for the federal govern- ment to pursue free trade negotiations on the one hand and cut back on labour market adjustment tools on the other. "If freer trade becomes a reality, our buoyant economy Wed. Apr. 8, 1987 THE NEWS I POST Page 1 Local Tories Take Tax Cut Message To 119ople The Scarborough East Provincial P.C. Associa- tion took the message of their party's tax cut policy proposal directly to the voters of the Scarborough East Community on Apr. 3 and 4. The proposal, entitl- ed "Invest in Tomorrow, cut taxes today" was first unveiled last month by On- tario P.C. Party Leader Larry Grossman. As part of a province- -wide blitz, local Tories distributed pamphlets and spoke to people about the importance of pushing the Liberal government to make changes in the tax ;structure in the upcoming "We know the liberals .are currently preparing the next budget," said Steve. "This is our way of getting the word out that there are better ways for the govern- ment to be using all the ex- tra money they've col- lected through their ridiculous tax increases," said Scarborough East President Steve Campbell. Since the Tories launch- ed the tax cut proposal, almost 300,000 brochures have been distributed to in- terested members of the public. In speeches across the province Grossman has accused the Liberals of raking in over $1 billion in extra windfall revenue because of the 26 percent increase in taxes they have imposed since they came to power - Grossman and his caucus are proposing that the government use the wind- fall to reduce personal in- come taxes by 10 percent and sales tax from 7 to 6 percent; reduce the deficit by 20 percent; and reduce the cost of running the government by at least 3 Centennial Rouge United by Julie Webb This must be my weekend for horror stories. Friday night television found me alternately hiding my eyes and wat- ching the movie "Salvador" with its ch& ing message. Somehow on Saturday I managed to survive an en- tire Clutch Norris film and discovered more than I wanted to know about the new way people can kill each other. Sunday I thought I'd quietly retire to the nursery and babysit. But then at home I read the 4ranscript of Rev. Sanguin's sermon on the refugee crisis. Perhaps I belong in the nursery. so naive are my notions of what goes on elsewhere in the world. Without reminders like these of how brutal life is for some - haw brief and terrifying before the bombs and the bullets - we become bpi d or indifferent. It is impossible to conceive of the terror that forces peo- ple to flee their native land. Yet our government has closed its doors to these people we meed to help most. Whether it is relief frau poverty, or in fear for life itself, over twelve million refugees are look- ing for sanctuary in our world. As a church we need to find our voice and affirm our belief that God works for man, through man. Horror stories are not what we tel the children in a nursery. Other children should not have to live them. will be tested even more than it is now. Skills upgrading on a massive scale will be required to meet the competition and seize the opportunities," Mr. Sorbara said. Mr. Sorbara had called for an allocation this year of at least $2.5 billion to restore funding to the level of three years ago. Abaft 20 percent of the total Canadian Jobs Strategy Budget in 19W>-& was not spent. Mr. Sorbara said all provinces share a concern that the eligibility standards for the federal programs create bar- riers for the people who need the programs most. To take part in the job development program, for exam- ple. a person must be out of work for six months or more. To get into the job re-entry program. applicants must have been out of the job market for at least three years. • rbese problems all cone back to the matter of money. Eligibility cannot be expanded unless funding is provided to meet the growing needs of our evolving economy," Mr. Sor- bara said. "It was all up to Mr. Wilson, and he failed. again." As Mr. Sorbara pointed out, our systems of education must change because the world arotud us is changing. The economy has -globalized", placing our workers and businesses in competition with those across our borders. Technology continues to change production processes and is creating whole new industries. Information has replaced energy as the lifeblood of economic growth. More adults are dropping in to school as the "big generation" grows older. Every thoughtful observer of today's society understands the reap need to constantly upgrade and develop our skills for the marketplace and for fulfillment in life. Learning and education must be more flexible and responsive to the changing needs of life in Ontario and life in our very real global village. No longer can a degree, a diploma or a certificate be look- ed upon as the only means and end to education. Education must be a lifelong process, a process of selection that chooses what is relevant for today, discards what has become obsolete and wherever possible, and it is not easy, select what may be of value in the years to come. "It is through education and skills development that the wealth, jobs and living standards of the future will be created," Mr. Sorbara said. For our province, the Ontario Government has taken ac- tion for both the short term and the long term. The Ontario Training Strategy announced in September 1966 represents a doubling of provincial funding for training to $100 million a year. Youth employment and experience programs in- volve a commitment of ;175 million overall by Ontario. "Our overriding goal is to change both the image and reality of training - so that skills development becomes a regular, routine part of everyday business and working life for each and every one of us," Mr. Sorbara said. "The record shows that we have consistently put our On- tario dollars where our commitments are. We share a com- mon goal, to build in Ontario the best education and train- ing system the world has to offer." percent.

Report From Ottawa Reg Stackhouse M.P. Scarborough West Most Canadians have been proud of their country's record of giving asylum to refugees. Recently announced regulations will not blemish that record. They will protect it. This year the government expects to admit 12,000 persons out of refugee cam . Last year 13,000 were received - an impressive total of 25,000 in just two years. But new regulations are required. In December, 1986, more than 3.000 people made refugee claims ' -i the fust six weeks of 1987, over 6.000 refugee claims were :Wade. At that rate, members would soon overtake our ability to cope. Ac- cording to the U.N., there are now 12 million refugees in the world. There is no desire to shut the door to Canada to real refugees. There is an obligation to insist that everyone else go through the same process as any other immigrant. The new regulations will protect the whole system for real refugees and all immigrants.

Report from Queen's Park !am .A By George Ashe, MPP Durham West I STILL SAY: GASOLINE RIP-OFF! 'You will recall my column of March 4th that criticized the major oil companies for their control of the market place, their -substantial price increase coincidental with the federal tax increase of one cent per litre, and their ,growing differential between leaded and unleaded price. I called it a zip -off. I still do! In last week's News Advertiser the manager of public af- fairs for Shell Canada, Mr. J. L. Mariash, responded to my previous column. Fair ball. Shell complains that the industry was due for a two cent increase because of higher crude prices and decided to add that to the one cent tax increase all at once rather than two separate increases. He also says the increase was three cents not five as I had indicated. Well if he had checked, at least in our market area, Toronto and North and East of Toronto, he would find that the increase was five cents. Mr. Manash of Shell goes on to defend the widening price spread between leaded and unleaded gasoline by once again blaming the Federal Government. The differential is caused, according to him by, "The Federal Government's decision to reduce the amount of lead allowable in gasoline". Fair enough, that might account for the in- crease, but what about the gross differential to start with? I have done further research on the extra costs associated with the further refining of unleaded products. The cost was about a half cent a litre for regular unheated and no more than one cent a litre for premium unleaded. So even if new federal standards have increased costs, why was it so high to start with? I will not even get into the return on investment argument as, for an integrated oil company with many parts. picking out part of the stream is a red herring. I still stand by my original cohrnn. Be wary as a con- sumer and stop around. Don't frequent the brand that's the first to increase price and usually the last to decrease price. By the way. it was interesting that Shell was the company that responded. It just so happens that the Steell station at White's Road and Highway Not usually leads the market in our area. That station usually loners prices first and raises prices last. I wander if that is why that station is, I am told, one of the largest volume Shell outlets? Possibly, just possibh, consumers are becoming better "shoppers" Speaking To You Scott F•nn•N M.P. Ontxio Riding Ibis week I would like to discuss a very "hot" topic, one which affects all residents of Ontario Riding, some moreso than others, namely postal delivery. I am well aware of the adjectives that immediately come to mind when I utter the word Canada Post - and I car, assure you that I have used many myself. However, I thought that I should use this op- portunity to explain my feelings on the mail delivery ser- vice, and set the record straight on what I am trying to ac- complish for Ontario Riding residents. I receive many letters and calls from my constituents complaining about Canada Post: the complaints range from slow or late delivery to objectioxs to the installation of supermadboxes on a homeowner's property. I have often said that if it wasn't for all the problems I receive from Canada Past, I would have half the amount of cor- respondence to answer. Continuously from the time I was first elected a Member of Parliament, I have made representation to Canada Post and the then Liberal Government, requesting door-to-door delivery for the new residential areas in Ontario Riding. I agree that it is not equitable for new homeowners to not receive the same service as that of established neighbourhoods, and I made this point in the beginning when I first heard of supermailboxes. I have been a propo- nent of alternate day home delivery for these residents, but my suggestions were not agreed upon, and in any event, the supermailbox concept was already initiated by the previous administration at that time. As I have said, I agree that supermailboxes are certainly a poor alternative to door-to-door mail delivery; however, many of my constituents have agreed that this is better ser- vice than having to go to the post office to pick up their mail. On the other hand, I have had many complaints from constituents who do not want a supermailbox located on or near their property. Each of these complaints is dealt with separately, and needless to say, achieving an acceptable solution is a very lengthy and involved process. Contrary to common belief, I appreciate receiving your comments as it adds fuel to my fight with Canada Post; underscoring the fact that Canadians are not, and will never be, satisfied with this type of service. I will continue until I have achieved results satisfactory to all.
