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.

A new seasonal peak of almost 17.3 million kilowatts was

This day was also a record setter for daily energy use of

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.

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.

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.

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.

Report from Parliament Hill
Bob Hicks, M.P.
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-

cies. 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

Enquiries
The service was provided
by Metro CAS staff from
1978 to 1981, but budget cuts
then forced the agency to
rely entirely on volunteer
help for its information -
sharing service.
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

ON JULY 6. 1987. AMENDMENTS TO ADOPTION LEGISLATION
CHANGED THE CONDITIONS AND PROCEDURES FOR OBTAINING
ADOPTION INFORMATION IN ONTARIO.
NON -IDENTIFYING INFORMATION. IF AVAILABLE. SUCH AS THE
BIRTH FAMILYS BACKGROUND AND MEDICAL HISTORY, WILL BE RE-
LEASED ON REQUEST TO ADULT ADOPTED PERSONS (THOSE 18 OR
OLDER); AND INFORMATION ABOUT THE ADOPTIVE FAMILY*S BACK-
GROUND WILL BE GIVEN TO ADULT BIRTH RELATIVES. UPON REQUEST.
INFORMATION THAT REVEALS THE IDENTITY OF AN ADULT ADOP-
TEE OR A BIRTH RELATIVE WILL BE SHARED ONLY IF BOTH PARTIES
HAVE VOLUNTARILY ENTERED THEIR NAMES WITH THE ADOPTION
DISCLOSURE REGISTER AND CONSENTED TO DISCLOSURE. THE
CONSENT OF ADOPTIVE PARENTS IS NO LONGER REQUIRED.
IF BIRTH RELATIVES HAVE NOT REGISTERED. AN ADULT ADOPTEE
CAN REQUEST A SEARCH. HOWEVER. CONFIDENTIALITY IS PRO-
TECTED THROUGHOUT. IF LOCATED, BIRTH RELATIVES CAN SIMPLY
DECIDE NOT TO HAVE THEIR IDENTITIES MADE KNOWN.
THE ISSUES AND EMOTIONS SURROUNDING ADOPTION INFOR-

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.

thy addition to their com-

Summer Theatre Is Here Again
by Irene Watson
Summer theatre is with
us again, and it was our
pleasure to visit the Red
Barn Theatre at Jackson's
.........................
among the best of Broad-
way. Go see it. Please!
AT THE O'KEEFE:
Dear Uncle Steve. My
boompah took me to the
Sound of Music at the
O'Keefe and I just thought I
should write you a little
note to tell you what a nice
show it is.
My boompah says it's
what is called a family
show and I believe him.
The music is nice, there's
nothing naughty about it
and the whole thing has a
nice ending. I really like
Debbie Boone and I'll bet
her Daddy is proud that she
is appearing in such a
show.
You know Uncle Steve,
1'11 bet that when I'm a
boompah there will still be
productions of The Sound of
Music and I intend to take
my little grandson to see
ane of them.
Boompah says that the
next show, Song & Dance
starring Melissa Man-
chester is maybe more
adult but still suitable for
families. I expect he's
right: my boompah is a
pretty cool cat.
Yours sincerely.
Scott Hamilton Kirkness.
P.S. I didn't really write
this: I'm too little. But I bet
I will %Then I get bigger.
ON SCREEN:
Revenge of the Needs 11,
Nerds in Paradise (Twen-
tieth Century Four) is pro-
bably
robably best summed up as
being at least as good as its
Asal , thele is the
over stereotyping but it
must be taken for what it is
intended to be... comedy
with just a smidge of
message. At a preview
showing there was even ap-
plause over some of the
nerds' trpsaphs.
Don't expect any intellec-
tualism but expect a few
belly laughs and you won't
be disappointed.
FIREWORKS:
Tonight is the night for
the finale of the fireworks
competition at Ontario
Place. Being a mid -week
event it is anticipated that
traffic might not be so bad
and, as always, there is an
abundance of parking.
So if you've been reluc-
tant to attend because of
traffic problems, we sug-
gest you just might be all
right tonight.
And, if you're still anx-
ious, then use public transit
but don't miss this grand
spectacular:
You can expect fireworks
of a different kind next
Monday and Tuesday as
Andrew Davis and the
Toronto Symphony present
Last Night of The Proms at
the Forum. As of this
writing, we are unaware of
the program but the Prom
nights are always exciting.
ON THE TUBE:
The good people at
Global Television held
their fall launch recently
and we were there to mix
and mingle. Special guest
was Dennis Farina of
Crime Story. He is a far
more handsome man in
person than on television
and a genuinely nice per-
son to meet. We wish him
success.
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

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,

out of a tight berth. only an
inch to spare between us
and the still lifeless For-

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.

steady drone of the engine
abruptly ends. We idle and

Later the first trap is up.
Inside are three

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? If so, the mower you
buy should be

Once you've decided
what you want in a lawn
mower, test drive several
models. 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?

How to Eiyoy
Freshly -Picked
Citrus AN
Summer Long!
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.
