Page 2 THE NEVI'S POST Wed. Feb. 3, 1998 Opinion a page for expression for you and us No Sunday Shopping by Bob Watson The crowd, which attended North York Council last week, left no doubt that Sunday shopping is not a concept which most people in the community want. Instead of the usual sitting back at home and complaining to each other, citizens got out to express their opinion. A group of churches have joined together to fight the idea as well. The Roman Catholic, Anglican, Greek Orthodox and United Churches have decided to put pressure on local governments that religious and family life are at stake in this matter. Collectively these groups represent the majori- ty of people in our communities. We believe that it is now time for local governments to take a stand against Sunday shopping for a multiple of reasons with the most compelling one for family life. If Sun- day shopping is considered so important for tourism and making a buck, let's take the maintenance of family life ahead of making money because we will win much more in the long rum. About The Sixties Dear Editor: I am in the process of gathering information for a book. from Canadians, regarding their personal experiences, recollections and opinions concerning the sixties era in Canada. In the period framed roughly by the advent of Beatlernania on this continent and the end of the Vietnam war on another. Canada experienced immense social lunge and some upheaval. I am interested in defining the role Canada and Canadians played during this era. If any of your newspapers* readers would care to par- ticipate in this project I would appreciate receiving their taped or written stories or anecdotes for consideration. All materials will be returned if a self addressed stamped envelope is sent to me with the submission. Any work chosen for inclusion will retrain anonymas. Those of your readers wishing to respond might corLsider where they were during that era and what they consider to be their own most definitive experiences.

Nelson. B.0 VIL 5Pf, Private Enterprise Best Dear Sir The federal cabinet recently put on hold the CBC's expan- sion into all -news cable TV. That's a welcome measure but cabinet avoided addressing the real issue. 'Why is the government in the broadcasting business at all^ The hundreds of other free enterprise broadcasting sta- tions in Canada didn't need the three quarters of a billion taxpayers' dollars that the CBC got as a subsidy last year With a $30 billion annual federal government deficit, we taxpayers can't afford it. The federal government should privatize the CBC by sell- ing shares to the employees. managers and the general public and guarantee control of the network to Canadians. We would still have a national radio and television network but it would be owned directly by Canadians and taxpayers would be relieved of a heavy burdens. It's time to put the CBC where it really belongs - in the free enterprise sector. Yours sincerely.

Feb. 3, 1988 Bill Watt's Worlds AT THE OPERA: Lady Macbeth of Mtsen- sk by Dmitri Shostakovich is the Canadian Opera Company's tandem pro- duction (with the Merry Widow) at The O'Keefe. Should you not be familiar with it, be aware that you're not going to see Cossacks in kilts. This Lady Macbeth bears - bares? - only a librettist's wink in the direction of .Shakespeare. It has more semblance to Hedda Gabler and Uncle Vanya. Come to think of it, had Lady Macbeth been con- cepted ( new word) about two decades after its initial production in 1934 it might well have been titled Hedda and Vanya or The Cat and the Fiddler on a Hot Tin Rod; incidental dialogue by Tennessee Williams and score ( musical) by Jerry Herman. We are not, we hope, being facetious. Well, not too facetious, anyway. Katerina (call her Mag- gie) is bored with her life in 19th century, middle class, provincial Russia. Her hus- band Zinovy ( Brick) isn't serving her well and she is bullied by her father-in-law Boris ( Big Daddy) . Along comes Sergey a handsome lout ( call him the barn burner) and she falls for him or at least his apparent priapism. Before the opera is end- ed, she has murdered her father-in-law, she and her lover have killed her hus- The War Amputations of Canada presents: TWO NAKISMIC A KIDS In a new film called The :Vakiska Kids, i7 members of The W'ar Amps Child Amputee (CHAMP) Program challenge the slopes of .'akiska site for the alpine events at the 1988 Winter Olympics.

Brand us as a Philistine but there is nothing of value in this score of Shostakovich. It's loud, ponderous and utterly without any redeeming musical worth. Well then, let's bend over backwards to be fair and suggest that fine singing can carry off the day. In fairness let it be said that it almost does in this produc- tion save for one thing; the words cannot always be understood and when they are, they are unintentional- ly funny. You see, the opera is sung in English and in, we suspect, a dreadful transla- tion. We don't like to be repetitious but we are com- pelled to repeat that opera should not be sung in English for the good and valid reason that the words of our beloved language simply don't lend themselves to it. And the translation .. After killing Ana's hus- band Sergey mutters "Now we're really in the s --t!"

Urban renewal is about to toss Mildred Wild, a film freak, and her husband, Roy, a diabetic with a pas- sion for Baby Ruths, out of their Greenwich Village candy store of 23 years. Roy's sister, Helen, an assistant dietician at a Staten Island sanitarium, and Bertha Gale, the landlady, driven to psychoanalysis by hostile tenants, try to convince Mildred that something must be done. Instead, Mildred retreats deeper into the fantasy life of the movies. When Hollywood calls to an- nounce that she is a wino- ing contestant for a slew of kitchen appliances, a trip to California, and a screen test, Mildred feel that her faith in the movies has been justified. Little does she know what bizarre twists fate has in store. Paul Zindel's comic look at people's obsession with film fantasy is full of human foibles and spec- tacular special effects. The play opens on Wed. Feb. 10 and closes on Sat. Feb. 13. Woburn Collegiate is located at 2222 Ellesmere Rd. ( Markham Road and Ellesmere). Curtain time is 8 p.m. and tickets are $4 with a S.A.C. card and $5 regular price and are available at the door.

Make Your Home More Comfortable U you are planning a ma- jor renovation of your home this year a small ad- ditional investment to upgrade its energy efficien- cy can produce big savings in youir heating bill. . .................... hold it in no longer. The production values most certainly cannot be faulted but the opera itself stands exposed rather like the emperor in his non exis- tent new clothes. Mary Jane Johnson im- bues the role of Anon with the requisite sensuality and seems to sing well when not drownedbeing by the expanded orchestra. Dependable Cornelis Op - that is suitably villainous as Big Daddy - oops, her father-in-law and Ben Hep - prier allows himself to be strangled nicely. Michael Myers struggles manfully as the errant stud but repeated barings of the chest do not a sexy man make. Of course, all sing well - one expects nothing less from the C.O.C. and one is rarely disappointed. Still, it'd be nice to appreciate those fine voices. One applauds the spirit behind this work but one's applause for the work itself must be no more than guardedly polite. Che, seg- gendo in piu ma. In fama non si vien, ne sotto coltre. ON YOUR TOES: The National Ballet returns to the O'Keefe on Feb. loth for a three week engagement of mixed works. One always welcomes the return of The National (No, not you Knowlton. Go back to sleep) but this time around our anticipation is particularly high. For one thing, there will be two new works; for another there will be the return of the explosive Kevin Pugh after an absence of a year and a half. Almost two years ago, a chronic foot pain caused Mr. Pugh to leave full time dancing in order to recuperate. He appeared sporadically with the com- pany but it was evident that serious measures would have to be undertaken. Last July he underwent Tips on how to retrofit your home can be obtained during A Comfortable Solu- tion. presented by the Kor- tright Centre for Conserva- tion, Kleinburg, Saturdays and Sundays throughout February, at 1 p.m. The main objective of an energy retrofit is to reduce beat loss, which is the escape of warm air out of the house_ If a major home renovation is planned, it cold cost relatively little to improve the shell of the bouse - the walls - to reduce heat loss. Adding more in- sulation and installing a vapor barrier in the walls are easy to do, and will un - mediately make your home more comfortable. A Comfortable Solution, which is sponsored by the Ontario Ministry of Energy. offers many other energy-saving tips and discusses new advances in energy conservation technology.

Then - Folk Art Painting - Discover the technique involv- ed in hand painting. Instructor Linda Laffey will demonstrate folk art strokes through very simple painting.

Queen's Park Report from Norah Stoner MPP Durham West The Ontario Legislature's Standing Committee on Ad- ministration of Justice is currently reviewing the Ontario Automobile Insurance Board Act, which implements a ma- jor part of the Government's auto insurance initiatives. In remarks to the Committee on the opening day of its public hearings on Bill 2, Robert Nixon, Minister of Finan- cial Institutions said when the Government first announced the initiatives in April, 1987s, it had a very clear purpose in mind. "That purpose was, and continues to be, to ensure the protection of consumers and to bring stability and equity to the motor vehicle insurance market," Mr. Nixon said. The committee has been holding public hearings on the Legislation since Jan. 11th. By the time the hearings wrap up, which is scheduled at the end of this week, meetings will have been held in Toronto. Ottawa, Sudbury and Brander Bay to get comments on the Act. The legislation provides for an Ontario Automobile Ir - surance Board to be set up and the setting by regulation of a mandatory industry -wide risk classification system for auto insurance. There are three parts to the Bill. One deals with the board, another with the rate review process and transitional rate capping, and the third with regulations, enforcement and incidental amendments to the Com- pulsory Automobile Insurance Act. A public bearing process would be used by the board in the review of rates. The board is to set rates, or ranges of rates which are, according to the Act, "just and reasonable and not excessive nor inadequate". Mr. Nixon told the Adnninistratic n of Justice Committee. Bill 2 has been developed to provide greater fairness and accountability in auto insurance rates by establishing an in.- dependent o-dependent automobile insurance board and by providing regulations to introduce a mandatory, uniform, mdu stry- wide classification system. Mr. Nixon has also released a proposed classification system , which is a draft for consultation purposes. He said once the system is froalined. insurers will be required to charge rates for auto insurance premiums on the basis of the system. with the board dete m ming the appropriate range of rates for various risk classes. The government will seer wide public consultation an what should be contained in the regulation for the uniform classification system. A commitment has already been made by the Government to reject age, sex and marital status as factors for defaming risk classes. The Ad- ministration of Justice Committee is expected to begin clause -by -clause consideration of the Bill February est and report to the Legislature the following week.

Business Community- News Endorse Metro Government Reform In an effort to increase the effectiveness and ac- countability of Metro Government, the Board of Trade has endorsed the province's proposed municipal reforms at a hearing on Tuesday before the Standing Committee on General Goventment. The board supports the direct election of Metro camcillocs; the reduction in size of Metro Council to 28 councillors (from the current 34) phis the six Metro -area mayors; and the election of the Metro Chairman from within the ranks of Metro Council. These were among the eight recommendations in- troduced into the Legislature last November by Municipal Affairs Minister John Eakins. Mike Lauber. Chairman of the board's Committee an Municipal Structure, says that as 'one of North America's most effective systems of municipal government, Metro has matured to the point that direct election (of Metro Councillors) should be adopted."The rd's appearance at the hearing is based on its April, 1987 submission to the province, which stated that Metro councillors "should focus their atten- tion on the Metro -wide functions of municipal government, to bring to Metro Council a much needed Metro perspective. 11 This new system would be more forceful in dealing with such Metro issues as the increase in traffic con- gestion, oo-gestion, the property tax system, affordable honing and economic develop- ment. The board agrees with Eakins' statement made when the reforms were an - noticed last November, Metro Toronto Board Of Trade Submissions ADOPT FLEXIBLE MONETARY POLICY On the fiscal and monetary side, the board recommends that the Back of Canada adopt a flendble policy approach, in light of the uncertain near-term ENCOURAGE TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER The board urges the federal government to -en- courage technology transfer to medium -aid small -sized companies. in order to strengthen Canada's competitiveness through the proliferation of proven existing technobigy-" "At the moment, the board suggests, -Canada emphasizes pure research, without creating the bridges necessary to transfer this knowledge in- to practical commercial applications. We must place a an timely and relevant development - ecisting product develop- ment, new product creaa- tion, new process develop- ment - to commercialize in- digenous research and to improve the performance of new products and pro- cesses.,. REPEAL MINIMUM TAX The Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT), im- plemented in tax -year 1966 to prevent taxpayers from taking undue advantage of certain deduction, should be repealed. The board suggests, since many of the tax preferences it set out to overcome have been reduc- ed or eliminated under tax reform. If repeal is not possible. the board ad- vocates that "the rate of AMT should be reduced to 14.5 percent, one-half of the existing maximum rate.' "The small amount of tax to be collected and the limited deterrent posed by the AMT does not warrant the complexity and the unintended hardships which it creates." IMPLEMENT COR- PORATE LOSS TRANSFER SYSTEM The board commends the government for recogniz- ing the need for a corporate loss transfer system, as set out in the May 1965 budget paper, and urges it to im- plement such a system without further delay. REDRAFT RULES ON CHANGE OF CONTROL Provision to amend the rules applying to distribu- tions after Mange of con- trol should be redrafted, the board urges, so that they do not penalize legitimate situation. PERMIT IBC DESIGNA- TION THROUGHOUT CANADA The board reiterates its opposition to the recent legislation that designates only Montreal and Van- couver as International Banking Centres, Stating that it "interferes with natural market forces, ig- nores economic reality and restrains Canada's com- petitiveness." The board recommends that all Cana- dian cities be permitted an equal opportunity for IBC designation.

As the "Official Suppliers of the Housing Program to the XV Olympic Winter Games", Royal LePage has found and qualified homes for two programs - the Olympic Homestay Program and the Adopt -a -Parent Program. "The Adopt -a -Parent is a classic example of western hospitality and should create many interesting cultural ex- change opportunities," says Chris Bolt, Vice President and Regional Manager, Royal LePage Residential Real Estate Services, Calgary. "Individual Calgarians are providing free accommodation for the parents of competing athletes through the Adopt,a-Parent Program," he added. Smokers Have Lower Income Generally, the higher an individual's household income, the less likely she is to smoke. that the new structure will "make Metro's govern- ment more accountable to voters and . . establish a better framework for local government decision- making across Metro Toronto." The board also urges the Ontario Government, in response to the province's 1967 Local Government Elections report, to permit tax credits for municipal election contributions. In a separate submission in May 1961, the board argued that "by providing tax Credits, more citizens could afford to run for office and more would participate financially in the election per.,, The Board of Trade of Metropolitan Toronto, the largest community board of trade chamber of com- merce in North America, was incorporated in 16455, and currently has appi - imately 16,000 members.

This year, from Feb. 14 - 21, Holetown will celebrate this annual event with spectacular cultural events, handicrafts displays, folk dancing, games, markets, street fairs and festivals.

Amerindians in- habited Barbados when the Portuguese fust charted it in 1536. Although the Por- tuguese never claimed Barbados, they named it Los Barbados or "The Bearded Ones" - probably for the abundance of fiku s trees which have aerial beard -like roots. When the Amerindians abandoned the island in the early 1600s, peaceful Arawak sealers arrived. Eventually they fled when the Carib tribe took Bar- bados. In time. the Caribs also left Barbados. When Captain John Powell landed in Barbados in 1625, the island was vir- tually uninhabited. Powell claimed Barbados for King James I and named his lame ding site James Town.

This reminded the English sailors of the "hole" on the River Thames that it was named after it. Things To See The Holetown Festival is the first of many national festivals held each year in Barbados. In addition to participating in the festivities, there are a number of things to see - St. James Church and "King William's Bell", which predates the U.S. liberty Bell.

The Sandpiper - Florida's Own Club Med Club Med's first year- round sunshine village in the continental U.S.A. very simply is THE village for everyone. according to Jacques Giraud, President and Chief Executive Of- ficer. Club Med. Inc. "We're very lucky with this facility to be able to cater to every kind of vaca- tion need. To people from four months to 70 plus . . single, married. coupled, uncoupled, whatever... How do they do it' Club Med-The Sandpiper pro- w a bast of activities along its mile -wide river- side vantage point, encom- passing 1.000 roiling scents. There are five swimming pools. 19 tennis courts, a pitch and putt golf course and 45 championship boles of golf. A reduced rate golf package is available. In ad- dition. a sparkling fitness centre with the latest equipment. classical recorded concerts at sunset. aerobic classes, water exercises plus heavy doses of lazing on the private ocean beach . . a free. 20 minute shuttle ride from the club. As impressive as the physical facilities are, the real draw for this village is the opportunity it affords vacationers to meet people from other countries without leaving the conti- nent. Club Med's interna- tional members have found that the range of activities, plus the village's proximity to top Florida tourist spots make The Sandpiper ir- resistable. Accommodations are in large, deluxe rooms divid- ed into six, salmon col- oured clusters, built am ouund courtyards filled with orange trees and foun- tains. Every room has a sit- ting area with a comfor- table couch and easy chair, two oversized beds, a vani- ty with marble sink and a private bathroom ( tub shower) . In the separate dressing room are two. small safes for valuables and a mini - refrigerator. All of the rooms are air-conditioned and have a private terrace or patio overlooking the river or golf courses. In many small Mediter- ranean towns, there is a village square where everyone gathers.

The slogan will ap- pear with a heart motif - symbolizing affection and life itself - on posters and other promotional materials being produced jointly by the Ministry of Culture and Communica- tions and The Ontario Heritage Foundation. "For many of us, heritage is really a very personal thing," said Minister of Culture and Communications Lily Od- die Munro. "It is all those tangible and intangible elements which make up the context within which we have developed our society and within which we ourselves have developed. For some, it is a special painting or a wilderness area; for others, a folk song or a cherished custom.' „There are many sound economic and solid in- tellectual reasons for E=ftour heritage, most important is probably social." she con- tinued. "Heritage preser- vation has become a major force in Ontario because a great many people care about their past." "Heritage Week is a time to celebrate our heritage, both personally and collec- tively. to promote public awareness and participa- tion, and to salute all those involved in heritage ac- tivities,". added Richard Alway, Chairman of The Ontario Heritage Fmmda- tion, an agency of the Ministry of Culture and Comnumucations. The major objective of Heritage Week, to increase appreciation for Ontario's multifaceted heritage. is accomplished largely through community celebrations organized by local groups such as historical and heritage associations, museums, libraries, schools, and municipalities.

Formal wear ir>spu ed by Italian design confirms that the groom is also one to watch and that he too has a role to play in 1988. And The Limited Edition Uomo Classico Collectim from Classy Formal Wear makes compelling evidence for this. Introduc- er! last year to great ac- claim, this unique collec- tion of Formal Wear is unlike anything yet seen in this country: subtle stripes and geometric patterns, sophisticated textures in herringbone or- checks. The Eiegante and the Cascata represent two new addi- tions to the Uomo Classico Collection. Both fashioned in finely textured fabric, the EIegante is an expres- sion of continental sophistication at its best. Subdued grey and blade stripes function in counter- point and to dazzling effect. The Cascata is a slightly bolder play of light and dark with highlights evok- ing the gentle shimmer of cascading water. The Yves Saint Laurent and Uomo Classico CoUec- tions are exclusive to Classy Formal Wear.

So to help us get into the spirit of things, Hallmark Cards has created a Lover's Quiz based on some of the company's Valentine's Day cards. HOW TO PLAY First, read the beginning of a Valentine's message from the column on the left. Then, search the column on the right for the message's "mate" and match the two components up. Finding "the perfect mate" in this quiz is definitely easier than finding the perfect flesh and blood mate - but ac- cording to Hallmark, both activities are fun and worth the effort.
