July 15, 1987 Opinion a page for expression for you and us The Promised Land by Bob Watson There is no doubt in our mind that Canada is the promised land to most people. However, most of us Canadians ( not the naive ones of course) are reluctant to have the door of welcome thrown open to everybody in the world regardless .of who they are to come in and join us. For one thing mass immigration and refugee plans bring criminals and gangsters (such as the Vietnamese in downtown Toronto) as well as needy folks. And those of us who are many generations Canadian really would like to see the number of incoming people less in numbers than what we are in order to keep a positive Canadian outlook in the development of our country. To emphasize this Sergio Marchi, Liberal MP York West, has launched a petition to amend the constitutional accord to place multiculturalism on an equal footing with bil- ingualism' Terrific' The next move will be a requirement that one must speak Italian to hold a government job! Mr. :Marchi is quoted as saying: "We don't want to be a footnote to this country" and "we don't want to be an afterthought." Well. Mr. Marchi you are doing very well yourself in this country and the Canadian wav has always been not to count your racial background as a criteria in anything. The key factor to us Canadians is that newcomers try and become Canadian first and foremost. That is why we are against his petition for equality for multiculturalism. Then we have 174 •-refugees.. who landed in Nova Scotia without a word of warning. Where is our radar and national defence to spot such a landing' When one of the newcomers asks for a taxi to go to Toronto, we know that this is not a legitimate bunch of "boat people" but a planned exercise to get around our immigration rules. If the opposition parties in the House of Commons had agreed to a change in the immigration rules in the last ses- sior. of the House of Commons we would have had rules to deal with this new lot of people in a matter of weeks. Unfor- tunately, in trying to be nice to everyone in the world. we have loaded ourselves down with so many nice rules to pro- tect incoming people that it takes years to get rid of undesirable people. In other words we have an open door to those who want to breach our homeland. Imagine allowing any transient to come in the front door of your base at any time. Wouldn't it get crowded in your borne after a while? Those 174 people who landed an our coasts unannounced should be sent beck to whatever country they left im- mediately as they do not qualify as immigrants to our land. And Mr. Marchi, there is no way we Canadians want multiculturalism to be equal to bilingualism' No Public Concern To The Editor On June 30th. 1987. 148 members of the Hoge of Com- mons in Ottawa voted against the return of the death penal- ty and many appeared quite gleeful. What did this mean' It meant that 148 members told their constituents loud and clearly, that they felt more concern for the convicted murderers than then did for the safety of the over 25 million Canadians into %rhose midst these killers would be let out, in some cases 10 years or sooner. They also said it was fine that it cosi this same public an estimated $40.000 In tax money for each year they were in jail. One of the daily newspapers on that date listed the members and how they voted. I would suggest that you get a copy of that page and check to see if your representative was listed in the 148 If you are interested in justice being done and vour MP was one of the 148, when the next election is called. go to the meeting of the party before that riding's member is picked and confront him there and let everyone you meet in the riding know how he voted and why he would not be a good person to pick. Until the victims of these atrocities are give more consideration than the murderers are, we %ill never have justice. Bruce A. Blackburn Scarborough Demand Records Set A new seasonal peak of almost 17.3 million kilowatts was reached May 29 due to the unusually high temperatures this month. This day was also a record setter for daily energy use of just under 360 million kilowatt-hours. Ontario customers used 9.6 billion kilowatt-hours of elec- tricity in May, up eight percent from the same month last year.

Toronto: •+Bob's Notes ------------ Stop Education Cutbacks -Grossman The province's contribution to education funding is at a 16 -year low. says Ontario Progressive Conservative Leader Larry Grossman. "It is totally unacceptable that in a time Of economic recovery. the government is cutting back on education funding." says Grossman. He says that the pro- vuice's share of education funding has slipped under the Liberals to 46.6% in their first vear in office to 44.9% in 1986. In 1984. the Progressive Conservatives provided 48.6% of education funding. "Funding should be increased and the system reformed so that children %till have a better opportunity to prosper in the future." says Grossman. New Telephone System for City The telephone exchange for municipal telephone numbers in the City of Scarborough will change from the present '296' to '396' on July 20. The last six digits of city telephone numbers will remain the same in most cases - jusst the first number will change to a 'T. The change is necessan• with the installation of a new centrex 111 telephone system giving the city access to more outside telephone lines. Report From Bill Davis M.P.P. SCARBOROUGH CENTRE FUNDRAISING BV THE: URERAI-S Ministerial contacts are for government business. They list groups and individuals that rely on public money to achieve community goals. But to use those same contacts to send more than 1,000 Invitations for a politcal fundraising event is certainly questionable. There is implication here that people who financially sup- port a minister's or party's reelection will receive special attention. This implication is made even clearer when the invitation is sent on government letterhead. The Minister of Health was recently questioned m the house for doing just this. but his answer was that people did not have to come just because they were invited. Fundraising is not just a private matter. Ontario offers tax credits for political donations. Mr. Elston's invitation pointed out that each of his guests would receive a $150 tax credit for their $200 donation. In other words, the public ends up paying while health professionals eat and drink with the minister. This is not the first time the Liberals have used govern- ment lists and data to raise funds for political purposes. The Attorney General, Ian Scott, invited lawyers doing business with the province to a fundraising event while Housing Minister Alvin Curling invited developers and home builders to his fundraiser. Soon after the Liberals took office, they set up the Liberal Economic Advisory Forum. For $1,000 businessmen were invited to join the forum to enjoy special access to the premier and the treasurer. Ministry lists are for ministry officials to do their business and not to generate funds for a minister's political campaign. The use of these lists is simple coercion of people who most rely on a minister's decision to support their pro- grams. Ontario deserves a higher calibre of political con- duct.

(Photo - Bob Watson Bob's Notes Liability Insurance Costs Municipal Affairs Minister Bernard Grandma'itre has introduced legislation to give municipalities more flexibili- ty to respond to their liability insurance needs. The legisla- tion amends the Municipal Act to allow municipalities to self -insure. to participate in reciprocal insurance ex- changes. and to prnvide liability coverage to volunteers working on their behalf. "Municipalities want these options.- Mr. Gratdmaltre said. "This legislation should make it easier for them to take care of their insurance needs• and at the same time help minimize their insurance costs." AIDS Education The Ministry of Education has released a draft cur- riculum document that will form the basis of AIDS educa- tion in Ontario schools this fall. The draft document will be circulated to teachers and school administrators during June for validation and response. Comments and sugges- tions will be incorporated into a final document. which will be distributed to schools in the fall. This will allow introduc- tion of AIDS education programs early in the new school year. !dew Dispensing Fee The Ontario government and the Ontario Pharmacists' Association have reached agreement on a new dispensing fee for prescriptions filled under the government's Ontario Drug Benefit Plan. *'Pharmacists will now be paid a dispensing fee of $5.95 for every ODB prescription they fill, up from the current $5.32." Health Minister Murray Elston said. "The new, rate, achieved after just three months of negotiating, demonstrates our government's ability to work with the health professions in a spirit of co-operation. I am extreme - Iv pleased.'. Doctors & Government Agree The Ontario government and the Ontario Medical Association have reached an agreement for a 4.83% in- crease in OHIP benefits payable to physicians for the period from Apr. 1. 1987 to Mar. 31, 1988. The 4.83% average increase includes a 3.33% increase for the year plus a fur- ther 1.5% special adjustment to deal with the economic im- pact on the medical profession of the Health Care Ac- cessibility Act. which banned extra -billing. Aid For Disabled Persons Housing Minister Alvin Curling recently announced details of increased provincial funding to assist in renovating homes and rental units for disabled persons. More than $5 million has been set aside to increase housing options for disabled persons over a two-year period. Funds are being channelled through the Ontario Home Renewal Program for Disabled Persons, the Convert -To -Rent Pro- gram and the Low -Rise Rehabilitation Program. Tops In Assets Ontario Hydro holds first spot in Canada for having the Largest assets among the country's top companies, accor- ding to Financial Post Magazine. In 1986 the utility had $31.4 billion in assets. The summer issue of Financial Post 500 also ranked Hydro in tenth spot for income at $247 million and 13th in revenues at $4.9 billion. i Give A Gift That Lasts All Year! i A year's subscription to one of these newspapers I SCARBOROUGH AGINCOURT WEST HILL MALVERN I no W49 I I news news ne"I ' CHECK THE NORTHPORK EAST END1111111 As APA1111111111111k I K' RIN( ONE YOU WANT nV w� ne O s t Send $10 cheque, money order of VISA number (plus expiry date) to: Watson Publishing Company Limited 150 Milner Ave., Unit 35 Scarborough, Ont.M1S 3R3; Name Address t -1 Senator Homes Residents Ward City To Force Builder To Repair A group of Scarborough residents wants the city to force their builder to finish their new homes and give them what they paid for. Of the 100 home subdivi- sion built by Senator Homes in the Hwy. 2 and Sheppard Ave. area, 97 owners have signed a peti- tion asking for the city's help. In their petition they sug- gest that the city withold all new building permits for Senator Homes until the outstanding items in their homes are fixed. Alf Mallia of Royal Rouge Trail, who orgatrzed the petition, cites loose sup- port beams in his basement and garage, leaky showers which sent water into the living room, leaky windows and doors and crooked cabinets as some of the pro- blems. Others include porches for which owners paid a $2,000 premium but which were never built and ar- cbes and tiles which were also paid for but never in- stalled. Mallia said the residents have tried to talk to the builder and have even con- tacted the provincial government's New Home Warranty Program but without much success. They say the city is now their last hope. Paula Breda, service manager for Senator Horses, said the company is taking care of all pro- blems put in writing by the residents. She said the residents would be getting their porches. However, she says there is nothing wrong with the support beams. "No one would be allowed to live in a house if the support beams were faulty," she said. Breda said the residents have received everything they paid for. She explain- ed that the delay in fixing some of the problems - some homeowners moved in 16 months ago - is due to the lack of skilled tradesmen caused by the housing boom. Alderman John Mackie tried to get Scarborough's building, fire and legisla- tion committee last week to deal with the petition but the committee refused say- ing it wanted to hear from the residents. The next committee meeting is not for another six weeks. Quiet Revolution Taking Place At Suomi-Koti Home In this hectic world of ours, we sometimes lose sight of the values that br- ing meaning and depth to our daily whirlwind of ac- tivity. This concern is the guiding principle behind a quiet revolution taking .place in Toronto's Finnish community. The Finnish -Canadian Seniors Centre called Suomi -Koff, a $6 million flagship on Eglinton Ave. E. at Laird Dr., is concrete evidence of this small com- munity's commitment to the care and nurturing of senior citizens, a cause which touches us all. The project is in the funating stages, and in celebration of the official opening in October, a special showing of the art of ErdN Ruberg will com- mence an July 7 at Suomi- Koti. The paintings of this renowned artist are an per- manent display in Van- couver and Montreal's Museum of Flee Art. his work has not been available in Toronto since 1964. This is a unique oppor- tunity for art lovers to view these stunning pieces in an architectural setting that reflects the cool intensity of the artist's vision. Ruberg's signature "frost pattern" echoes themes of isolation and homecoming. daybreak and whispering moons, in a Nordic land- scape of compelling mystery and beauty. The artist is donating a percentage of the proceeds to kick off the current drive to raise $600,000, the sum needed to complete the $750,000 multi -service cen- tre that will provide an ar- ray of recreational ser- vices for East York's elder- ly. Mr. Ruberg's art glows with the generous spirit that has guided him through 70 years of caring for young and old alike. what a great opportunity for us to meet with him and affirm our common hopes and goals.

Scarborough East ' FEDERAL GOVERNMENT PREPARES TO REPEAL THE WAR MEASURES ACT The Government of Canada has taken steps to replace the War Measures Act, a draconian piece of legislation which has long since outlived any useful purpose. Drafted in a dif- ferent era under unusual circumstances, the War Measures Act is far too all -embracing and sweeping in scope to be considered appropriate for peacetime energencies today. The Emergencies Act, which will replace the War Measures Act and will be under the authority of the Minister of National Defence, differs widely from its predecessor on a number of crucial points. It will be, for ex- ample, subject to safeguards and procedures which do not now apply. It will also provide for redress and compensa- tion for those treated unfairly by the Act, and recognizes the legitimate interests and constitutional jurisdictions of the provinces. Furthermore, unlike the War Measures Act, the Emergencies Act is subject to both the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and the Canadian Bill of Rights, as well as honouring the spirit of the 1967 United Nations Inter- national Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. The Emergencies Act also makes provision for further safeguards. Should the government invoke the Emergen- cies Act, Parliament will be provided with a concise ex- planation of the reasons for declaring an emergency, an op- portunity to debate and vote on a motion to revoke the declaration, and an outline of the special measures the government deems necessary to remedy the situation. In addition, the federal government would be obligated to set a time limit and geographical restriction on the applica- tion of emergency measures, and Parliament must agree to extend a state of emergency beyond the time limit initially given. In emergency situations in the past, such as the 1970 Oc- tober Crisis, the federal government may have consulted with provincial representatives. However, the War Measures AM did not require that such action take place under its provisions. The Emergencies Act, on the other hand. will require that the government consult the provinces before declaring an emergency and, in the event that an emergency is confined to one province, the government may not declare an emergency umless so requested by that province. Based on safeguards already mentioned. this would also mean the emergency measures would be confined to the province in question, and a normal state of affairs would prevail elsewhere in the nation. The new Act groups possible emergency situatrats into four broad categories, each one corresponding to and governed by a section of the Act. The four categories are: public welfare emergency, public order emegency, inter- national emergency, and war emergency. A public welfare a nergency results from a natural disaster or major accident of such a nature as to pose a na- tional threat. Currently, all provincial and territorial governments have laws to deal with public welfare situa- tions that occur within their borders. As such. they have developed expertise in responding to such contingencies. When the effects of a disaster are cootaimed to a simgle pro- vince. a state of emergency cannot be declared unless the province indicates "that the exmergency exceeds the capacity or authority of the province to deal with it." In a situation spanning several provinces, all must be consulted before a declaration of emergency is issued. In any event, provincial authority over police will not be changed under the Act. A public order emergency is one which constitutes a threat to the security of Canada. Such threats are defined in the Canadian Security Inteftence Service Act, and cover such events as espionage, sabotage, subversion, terrorism, politically motivated violence and attempts to overthrow the established government. Under no circumstance is legitimate dissent or opposition considered a threat to the security of Canada! As with public welfare emergencies, provincial safeguards also apply under Section 11 of the Act. That is to say, the provinces, or province, must be consulted before an actual emergency is declared by the federal govern- ment. Part 111 of the Emergencies Act applies itself to interna- tional tensions which lead to emergency situations. The Act provides that temporary power of specific concern will enable ' & -government to respond at an early stage to a setas international crisis. 'A declaration of a state of emergency under this section requires that the provinces be involved in such a decision, and would allow the government to implement civil, military, economic and diplomatic measures designed to avert, or at worst, meet the crisis. Should an international crisis be unavoidable, Part 111 of the Act would constitute legal authority for the government to bring the nation to a preliminary state of readiness for war and to begin civil mobilization and preparations for the protection of the civilian population. Part 1V of the Emergencies Act (war emergency provi- sion) would apply to cases of real or imminent hostilities or armed conflict involving Canada or her allies. Powers granted under this section would not be available under Section 111 ( international emergencies ) . Part V of the Act provides the framework and procedure for compensation to individuals who suffer loss, damage or injury as a result of the application of the Act. At the same time, the government also intends to in- troduce the Emergency Preparedness Act which would ask Parliament to authorize the establishment of Emergency preparedness Canada (EPC), a separate agency of the Public Service of Canada. It would be responsible to a minister and managed by an Executive Director, and would be charged with facilitating and co-ordinating the preparation of plans for the civil aspects of emergencies. In this sense, EPC will work constantly to co-ordinate civil emergency planning among federal departments and agen- Wed.

Hence, EPC would ensure that civil emergency plans were ready and in place in the event that an emergency was declared under the Emergencies AM. For this reason, both Acts are part of a comprehensive legislative package intended to meet any challenge to Canada's internal peace and external safety. EPC has existed as a government agency since 1948. but has done so under authority of a series of cabinet directives. The Emergency Preparedness Act will bring the EPC under the authority of Parliament. This legislation is long overdue and will provide the federal goverment with the capacity to react quickly to crisis situations while maintinaing strong safeguards against arbitrary "police state" powers. Regrettable events such as the 1970 detention of hundreds of guiltless in- dividuals, made possible by the War Measures Act. will not under be possible, or repeated. der the new Emergencies Act.

New changes in legisla- tion will allow the agency to provide staff to augment volunteers and Lhus expand its response to enquiries from adult adoptees seek- ing information about their backgrounds. Metro CAS will continue to provide non -identifying case histories, and will now be able to provide inter- pretive counselling around this information, plus assist in reunions with birth parents which have been authorized through the provincial Adoption Disclosure Registry. Since the registry will become more active in helping adoptees seek out birth parents. Metro CAS expects to be doing many more reunions between adoptees and birth parents. and will be providing group and family counselling, where needed, such as for adoptive parents who wish to talk about their feelings on an adoptive child's search for birth parents, for adult adoptees themselves and for birth parents.

July 15, 1987 Around and About Your Dining & Entertainment Guide Bill Watt's Worlds ON STAGE: We find ourself in minor disagreement with one of our colleagues over his assessment of Sweet Chari- ty which is currently play- ing at the Royal Alex prior to a national tour. The gentleman has sug- gested that Sweet Charity represents Broadway at its best. Well... maybe. Cer- tainly it represents Broad- way at its most successful - but its best? The book by Neil Simon is clever and witty but it re- mains a reworking of Nights of Calabria which enjoyed a popularity, when Italian cinema was in vogue. rather more than was deserved. The music by Cy Col- eman is pleasant enough but as is the case with all of his shows there are just a brace of songs that one hums wim leaving the theatre. They are the redoubtable Big Spender and If My Friends Could See Me Now. (Come to think of it. Baby Dream Your Dream is presently recalled) . The lyrics of the late Dorothy Fields are most enjoyable but they cannot be the entire show. Other wise, one might just as well have a reading. The original and this revival production was conceived, staged and choreographed by Bob Fosse and we have our reservations about his talent. One doesn't suggest he has none but we do very definitely believe it is over rated. As a director, his touch leans toward the grotty and he seems obsessed with the seamier side of life. As a dancer choreographer his work is nowhere near the degree of achievement of the late and muchly lamented Gower Cham- pion. There are those who say that Mr. Fosse should not be compared with Gower Champion and they might well be correct. We know only that we admired the work of the latter but cannot really warm to that of the former. To be harsh, we've always felt that he owes much of his success to his ability to choose dancers who do well by his choreography which owes more to vitality and techni- que than to precision and discipline. That said let us now urge all who are reading this to see this current production because it is a winter - believe us. All of the not incon- siderable talents of the pro- duction team, including Mr. Fosse's former wife, the enchanting Gwen Ver - don, have meshed together to produce a vehicle just made for the star. Donna McKechnie It soulds like a cliche to say that the lady can do everything but it happens to be the truth. The brooding Cassie of A Chorus Line has become a 'bright, bubbly sprite filled with a zest for life and the knowledge that There's Gotta Be Something Better Than This. A fine acting performance. Then to it she adds a Broadway voice and a dan- cing talent such as one sees all too rarely. There are hundreds• perhaps thousands of fine dancers, but there seems always to be one who stands out above the others. We think of Carol Haney, Shirley McClain, Gwen Verdon. Sono Asota among others. Miss McKechnie is a wor- thy addition to their com- pany- Now, although she dominates the production (she is on stage virtually non stop) there are other fin features to be enjoyed and a fine supporting cast to which we pay the highest compliment of stating that there are no weak perfor- mances. The orchestrations of reliable Ralph Burns are enjoyable and the sets and lighting of Robert Ran- dolph all that one expects from the best of Broadway. Sweet Chairty might not be. in our opinion.

As always, Global has an exciting season lin up and we'll be commenting on it from time to time. Right now we want to comment on the conduct of one of the members of the media who was in attendance. It seems to have escaped Point for the Gala Night performance July 4th. The first play of the season was "Fatal Attrac- tion" by Bernard Slade, directed by Brian Longstaff and runs until July 11. Ann Campbell as Blair Griffin, and Bob Clout as Lieutenant Gus Braden were excellent in the lead rolls and well supported by Everett Dixon, Rose Graham, Brian Longstaff and Kathy Millard. Set design by Ned Dickens was very well handled (especially the jacuzzi). Lighting and sound effects by James Milburn were most effec- tive. The sound of a gun- shot surprised my seat companion! This can be a pleasant way to spend an evening in the summer, about a one hour drive from Metro either by Hwy. 404 or Hwy. 48 to Sutton. May we sug- gest more signs from the main highways for those of us who are not as familiar with the area. The next attraction is "Night Must Fall" by 'Emlyn Williams, July 15 to 25. Celebration Of The Arts The final preparations for the Celebration of the Arts in Markham are being completed. However, visual artists are still re- quired to participate. The artists can either demonstrate, show or sell their work. The various medias we are looking for range from watercolours, wood carv- ing, to one of a kind crafts. The gala art festival is on Sat.

As always, Global has an exciting season lin up and we'll be commenting on it from time to time. Right now we want to comment on the conduct of one of the members of the media who was in attendance. It seems to have escaped Point for the Gala Night performance July 4th. The first play of the season was "Fatal Attrac- tion" by Bernard Slade, directed by Brian Longstaff and runs until July 11. Ann Campbell as Blair Griffin, and Bob Clout as Lieutenant Gus Braden were excellent in the lead rolls and well supported by Everett Dixon, Rose Graham, Brian Longstaff and Kathy Millard. Set design by Ned Dickens was very well handled (especially the jacuzzi). Lighting and sound effects by James Milburn were most effec- tive. The sound of a gun- shot surprised my seat companion! This can be a pleasant way to spend an evening in the summer, about a one hour drive from Metro either by Hwy. 404 or Hwy. 48 to Sutton. May we sug- gest more signs from the main highways for those of us who are not as familiar with the area. The next attraction is "Night Must Fall" by 'Emlyn Williams, July 15 to 25. Celebration Of The Arts The final preparations for the Celebration of the Arts in Markham are being completed. However, visual artists are still re- quired to participate. The artists can either demonstrate, show or sell their work. The various medias we are looking for range from watercolours, wood carv- ing, to one of a kind crafts. The gala art festival is on Sat. Aug. 15 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m on the grounds of the Markham Theatre. For further information call Lori Wells at 881-3313. t:............................. ....

Business Community News Wed. July 15, 1987 THE NEWSIPOST Page 9 No Money For Tourism Till '88 Budget by Gay Abbate Scarborough Council has decided not to do anything about a $55,000 tourism study proposed by its staff until it deals with the 1998 budget. The economic develop- ment department wants to carry out a $55,000 study to develop an action plan to attract tourists to Scar- borough. The study has been held up over funding. Staff wants council to put up the funds but council would prefer someone else to pay for it. It has already asked and been turned down by the provincial ministry of tourism and recreation and the federal ministry of regional in- dustrial expansion. In addition to postponing the study issue until 1988 council also agreed to ask Metro Council to fund the study. A report by the economic develoment department identifying the need for a strategy study by outside consultants says Scar- borough has been too passive in the past in pro= rooting tourism. The report identifies a number of strengths which could be used to promote a Scarborough tourism in- dustry such as the city's restaurants and hotelsimotels, its recrea- tional facilities, its strong cultural groups and its strong community spirit. New Scholarship Office There was a lot of good humour as the ribbon was cut to officially open the regional office of the Canadian Scholarship Trust Plan, Canada's oldest and largest registered educational savings plan. The new office will serve Scarborough. Markham, Pickering and Ajax. The plan provides cash scholarships to children for post secondary education. For anyone with a child 1-10 years of age interested in such a plan, please call 282-2779 for information. Above, from left, Dan McTeague, representing the Hon.

It's just after 4 a.m. "Looks like it's going to be a good day." declares Edwin McKie, the kin. smewy young skipper of the Warlock, a 42 -foot Cape Islander fisbing boat. He cups his hands to light a cigarette and glances at the still water of Fortune Harbour, one of Prince Ed- ward Island's numerous small fishing ports in Kings County, the province's eastern third. "Trouble is though," he says with fur- rowed brow. '•traps'u be heavy to haul. Always are when it's dead calm like this. " He turns into the ..............................

First mate Desi MacDonald casts off the Wines, and we edge slowly out of a tight berth. only an inch to spare between us and the still lifeless For- tune Flyer. We slip out of the harbour and into the murky blackness of the open sea. It's another day of lobster fishing m Prince Edward Island. Within the hour there will be hundreds of small lobster boats heading for sea along this eastern `,ore as well as the north shore of 'the island'. The season is short here, May and June, and fishermen don't dally when it comes to pursuing what is un- doubtedly the tastiest and certainly the most sought- after part of the annual catch. In August, the lobster season is open in the second lobster fishing district which includes the re - kinds of questions. "Want to come out` Skipper McKie had asked the previous day as I at- tempted to satiate my curiosity about the life of a Prince Edward Island lobster fisherman. •'Sure." I told him. "We leave at four," he said. So here we are, rounding Abelk Cape and heading into Eglington Bay. For- tune's now more than a half an hour behind us. The moon is gone. It's getting light. I can see an outline of shore --trees, fields and farmhouses --against a grey -black dawn. I'm reminded 'the island' is a rural province with agriculture the number one industry, followed by tourism and then the fishery. In a few moments the steady drone of the engine abruptly ends.

With a hooked stick (or gaff) be deftly lifts the buoy into the boat. The attached rope is wound around a motorized winch, and a few seconds Later the first trap is up. Inside are three greenish-brown lobsters and a half-dozen small crabs, all clamoring to get out. Desi, his gloved hand working with swift preci- sion, opens the trap and pulls out the clawing crustaceans. The crabs go overboard. The lobster are measured. One is large, it's called "market size", meaning it's destined to go directlty to restaurants or fresh fish shops.

Since a lawn can't jog to get back into shape, what can I do? Dear Fitness Fan: Rolling a heavy weight over your lawn would help even out and those unsightly 0 a bumps. The pro - ental bleu is you can compact the soil. which will make it difficult for air and water to reach the root system of your grass. Instead of exercising your lawn, try to fill it out. Give your lawn a trim ap- pearance by fill- ing in the low spots with new soil. Dear John: I confess. I'm a pncrastinator. I should have bought a new lawn mower last year. but I put it off. Before my grass gets knee-Yigh, do you have any tips on buying a new mower'? Dear Johnny -Buy - Lately: Purchasing a new mower is an important decision and one that re- quires some thought. A good way to get started is to answer the following questions: • How large is your lawn, and how much time do you want to spend mowing it? Most people don't like to spend more than two haus a week on lawn and garden care. If your lawn is more than 112 acre or so, you'll probably want to consider burying a riding mower or lawn tractor. • Does your lawn require a lot of trim work around trees, bushes and other ob- jects?

Also, make sure to ask the dealer quesbons about prices, safety features, parts availabili- ty, service and warranties. When testing the mower, check for vibration and noise. Is it easy to steer and stable on turns and slopes' Does the mower have enough power to suit your needs? Does it start easily and have good braking ability? Are the mower's controls easy to read and operate? And finally, is the person who will be using the mower most often comfor- table with the equipment you've chosen?

Fragrant. super -fresh citrus fruits ARE available during the warm weather months which is great news for orange (and grapefruit) lovers. Although supplies of California and Flon- da citrus are winding down from their traditional season, imports of fruit from the south- ern hemisphere begin arriving in Canada. The African countries of Swaziland. Zimbabwe and Mo- zambique have developed their citrus industries to the point where they are now exporting large quantities to Europe and Canada. Oranges and grape- fruit from these countries are parucuarly juicv and full of sun -drenched flavour. Market- ed under the brand name GOLDLAND they are fast achieving a reputation for quali- ty excellence. In addition to enjoying citrus out of hand, there are so manv uses for its rich flavour and abundant juice in the kitchen. Here's a menu suggestion that's just perfect for those long, warm summer evenings when evenone wants to eat outside (with the minimum of fuss and preparation').

Report �. from Queen's Park By George Ashe. MPP Durttam West MEECH LAKE ACCORD QUESTIONS It is not my favorite paper but The Toronto Star editorial said it best - "Will the Meech Lake Accord produce the kind of Canada Ontariars want?" Ontario Progressive Conservatives are concerned about, among others, the following: Immigration The accord states that "Quebec will receive a number of immigrants. including refugees within the annual total established by the federal government for all Canada, pro- portionate to its share of the population of Canada, with the tight to exceed that figure by 5% for demographic reasons. Premier Peterson admits the constitutional accord guarantees Quebec will get 25% of all Canadian imirnigra- tion. We are concerned that Quebec will use the guarantee to favour French-speaking immigrants over others. Can Premier Peterson assure the Portuguese, Chinese and Italian immigrant families who are in Ontario and other provinces, that this clause will in no way limit immigration from those countries? Federal Spending Power After the Apr. 30 Meech Lake meeting, Attorney General Ian Scott argued the First Ministers had strengthened na- tional powers, not watered it down. Scott said the document established, for the first time, Ottawa's tight to spend money in areas of exclusive provincial jurisdiction. But the new accord allows the provinces to stay out of future, shared -cost national programs under provincial jurisdiction - with hull compensation from Ottawa. And the clause on federal spending power now states: "Nothing in this section extends the legislative powers of the Parliament of Canada or the legislatures of the pro- vinces". But unless there is some broader definition of the federal spending clause we may see disfunction in areas of social and econoonnic programming which could be very serious decades from now. Distisct Society The constitutional accord recognizes Quebec as "a distinct society' P.C.'s are convinced Quebec Premier Robert Bourassa's understanding of the ..distinct society,. clause for Quebec is dramatically different from other provincial premiers. We have called on Premier Peterson to: - Explain his views as to the exact impact of the accord on Ontario and Canada: Provide genuine, unhurried public input and analysis; - Clearly set out his understannding of the distinct society, immigration clauses and the opting out clause. Our party wants Quebec to be in the Constitution, but it must do so as part of a strong agreement, an agreement that strengthens the country as a result of having Quebec sign, not weaken it as the price of getting Quebec to sign. 1; 2 carp (129 mL) oraw :does. and wine over low heat. stirring prded aid amt up often until jelly is melted.
