Extension To The Veterans' Independence Program Are you a Veteran' U so, you may be interested in learn- ing about an expansion to the Vetemm' Independence Pro- gram i VIP) as recently announced by The Hon. George Hees. Minister of Veterans Affairs. The Veterans' Independence Prograrn, introduced in 1981. is designed to encourage and assist eligible vet—mans to remain independent and healthy in their own homes and communities. The Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA) prmrides finds to rcamburse eligible veterans for services such as home nursing care, housekeeping, groundskeeping, home adaptations for the hantbeapped specialized health care through out-patient centres, and long -tam intstitur doral care in the veterans community. The program has been phased in gradually and, on Jan. 1, 1988, the last scheduled phase-in took place. On that date, veterans who were previously prevented from receiving War Veterans' Allowance because of income received under the Old Age Security Act or similar age-related legislation of another country, became eligible for Veterans' Independence Program benefits. Unfortunately, many of these veterans have had no Previus contact with DVA and, although the department is aware of some 60,000 veterans in this category, many others remain unknown. Since the best way. for a veteran to confirm his or her eligibility is to sit down with a DVA counsellor, Bob Hicks, Member of Parliament for Scar- borough East, recommends that interested veterans con- tact their local DVA District Office for further innfomation. The telephone number for the Toronto North District Office is 480-4879 and for the Toronto South District Office, 9'73-3971. Martine Haman, 23. Karen Johnson, 18; and Sheryl Shaw, 20.

The Statistical Skeptic by Douglas %ewsen Are you a statistical skeptic' Although many people clearly recognm the importance and usefu hmss of statistics in decision making. there are still thto6e who have reservations about their benefits. Here are five arguments often put forward by the "statistical skeptics" with a reply from Statistics Canada. "1'm to busy to use statistics." The analysis of statistical data is often a low priority for firms facing short- term problems. The tstwillingness to use statistics for the drveloprnent of business plans or market research can however jeopardize a firm in the long run. "Statistics cam adv tell sae abort the past." It is true that the past is not always a reliable indication of what will hap.. pen in the future. But, you cannot begin tofor the future of your firm unless you understand where you are now and how you got there. What you want to do is detect the trends early and plan to capitalize on them. "I'm a business person. not a statistician." You don't have to be a professional statistician to use statistics. In fact. statistical analysis only requires some common sense and a willingness to do basic research and digging. You can also get help from the staff at the nearest Regional Statistics Canada Reference Centre. "I can't me statistics became they are uanvailable, inac- curate. eat-ot-rate." These sorts of data problems are very real. when data are not available for an exact industry, pro- duct or geographic area, there is often "dormnation available at a broader level that can serve as a reasonable measure or allow sorre sort of estimation. As for data being inaccurate. Statistics Canada makes every effort to ensure the quality of the data and to provide estimates of statistical reliability. In any case, the treads indicated by the data are often more important than the numbers themselves. The problem of timeliness is also of great concern. Users should realize that a good measure of the market size, financial health of an industry, etc. is still important and useful. even if it is not as timely as you would like. "There's too much emphasis on statistics." Statistics are often seen as detracting from an "intuitive" approach to routing a business. They are only a tool and never a substitute for good management. One must use judgement in the interpretation and application of statistics to specific business problems or opportunities. The use of statistical information in the planning, marketing and financial ac- tivities can make major contribution to long-term growth and profitability. For more information on the wide range of statistical in- formation available, contact your nearest Statistics Canada Regional Office. The staff at all Statistics Canada's Regional Reference Centres are very knowledgeable and eager to help you discover what statistics are available and to apply their expertise to your statistical problem.

Aug. 22nd, at St. Peter and Paul School located at Markham Rd. and Hwy. 4o1, grade a students will attend a ween long stammer course - not because they have failed subjects, bid because they want to make stere that they don't. In September they will be attending high school for the first time and many of them are not sure what to expect. Leaving an en- viroament of 200 students where they are the largest kid in the school and enter- ing one of 2,000 where they are the smallest, causes a great many questions and concerns. A o�ry slOol� has started a course called "Grade 9 Survival Techni- ques" which deals not only th the proliiems of ad- wh>usting to a new larger school, but with some of the most common weaknesses of incoming grade 9 students. These weaknesses will be examined and solutions suggested. The students will be subjected to a varie- ty of techniques which, with the active p uticipa- tion of the learner, will help eliminate many of the dif- ficulties usually experienc- ed by grade 9 students. In this seminar. taken either at the morning or afternoon sessian,they will discuss topics such as how to go to your teacher for help, choosing friends, time management, ad- vanced vs general level, maturity and accountabih- ty, how to develop a positive attitude and much more. Subject related topics in science, math, English and French will be examined. Key math and English skills, proper science lab report styles, test writing strategies, individual sub- ject studying, expectations of the teachers, proper homework habits, are just a few of the topics that will be discussed. One student last year wrote, "a very good educa- tional experience..", and at a parent evening in Oc- tober the parents were unanimous in their en- dorsement. There is a $95 fee for the course.

"We are always looking for ways to improve our health care services and it is only with help from those who come to us for care that we can accurately evaluate our performance," notes - Dr. Feferman. The questionnaire ad- dresses the issues of waiting time for treatment or admission to hospital, the degree of satisfaction with the care received and to what extent the patient feels they were informed of procedures, aspects of treatments, and discharge instructions during their visit. Emergency patients will receive an envelope con- taining an explanatory let- ter, the questionnaire, and a postage paid envelope for their return reply.

It is. We hated License to Drive and thought it deserved to bomb. It did. Die Hard we dismissed as a turkey but predicted it would score largely. It has. Now we have Young Guns (Twen- tieth Century) and darnme if we know how to rate its chances of success. Frankly, it's so bad that it's almost good. In a spec- tacular waste of real and red talent, it's yet another reworking of the Billy the Kid legend. Thankfully, William Bon- ney is still depicted as a gun crazy psycho but any resemblance to the real thing ends theme. Instead we have Emilio Estevez - looking like Michael Douglas imitating Kirk Douglas - as a good looking moralistic and well educated killer. He is aided and abetted by Charlie Sheen, Lou Dia- mond Phillips and Keifer Sutherland among others as the leader of a gang out to avenge the killing of their kindly mentor Ter- rence Stamp by the despicable Jack ((buckles) Palance. Oh yes, Brian Keith as a bounty hunter and Patrick Quinn as a decent sheriff are also wasted. Actually it could have been a good - beautifully photographed - motion picture except for some absurdities in the plot. The gang is never seen buying ammunition but they never run out of it. A ride to Old Mexico that takes several days going is done overnight in return. In the foal scenes. the few re- maining members are beseiged in a frame house that sustains several fusillades: every window in the house has been shot out yet one still hears and sees shattering glass... remarkably clean glass at that. 'IN PRINT: One supposes that Dorothy Parkeri What Fresh Hell Is This? ( Villard Books, New York) is intended as the definitive work on the woman whose sometimes scatological witticisms are still remembered. Perhaps it is but, aping Miss Parker's style, we wish to hell we'd never read it. One doesn't like to have idols toppled. Oh, we always knew that Dorothy Parker was acer- bic; that her mesal code was not that of the hoi poiloi ; that she drank and smoked heavily. We thought however that she was simply ung tip the protective shield of cynicism used by so many of the insecure. In Marion Meade's book however, it becomes manifest that she was nothing more than an ill tempered and frequently ill-mannered bitch of little talent. She was a back stab- ber and character assassin. As well, she was unclean; fond of dogs, she often had many of them around her but never clean- ed leaned up after than. As if it were not bad enough to become disen- chanted with Dorothy Parker, one's illusions about other figures are also shattered. The genial and gently Robert Benchley was a womanizing tosspot; the dashing Charles MacArthur, ditto; her se- cond husband, the hand- some Alan Campbell was probably bi-sexual... and the list goes on. Of cause one does not throw out the baby with the bath water and the works of Dorothy Parker and her contemporaries will be remembered but this reviewer at least cannot now recall their creators with total respect. It's not our intention to oppi ob nate What Fresh Hell Is This' lits Meade has researched her subject well and the book is quite good; perhaps too good for I hose of us whose one time And, the language !

AROUND TOWN: Long time residents will recall when Toronto's ar- tist's colony was in a small area around College, Bay, McCaul and Queer) Streets. Probably the best known artist to come out of the area is Albert Ftanck. (We used to wrap parcels with his daughter Anneka when Simpson's had a Bay Street location in what later became the Elgin used car building. It was adjacent to the New Asia Hesse). Then the colony moved to Yorkville and in the sixties became roughly com- parable to San Francisco's Haight Asbury. Does anyone recall when the nude fry cook at the Mynah Bird burned himself on the crown jewels? Yorkville went on to become and remain rather cony. In fact, one of its best restaurants and, we seem to recall, the first not to show prices on ladies' menus was Mr. tony's at the corner of Bellair and Cumberland. We were there recently - it's now the Bellair Cafk - for the rneda launch of the second annual Spirit of Yorkville Revival Celebra- tion. The celebration was last Sunday but conflicting deadlines prevented us from mentioning it till now. We're retain however that our readers have read, heard about and hopefully joined in the events and happenings. Our purpose in writing this piece is to add a reminder that Bloor. Yorkville is still very much alive and still trendy. The Bellair for ex- ample still flashes that touch of art deco elegance and the girl watching from the second floor (czmberiand side is the best in the city.

Tbe (91b 6rott J,90na RESERVATIONS: 2962222 ALL MAJOR CREDIT CARDS ACCEPTED Ample Parklnp 520 Progress Ave., Scarborough 296-2222 BUT= NUTS: We love butter and nothing can convince us that there is anything else that tastes like it. There are however, three things about butter or, at least, its sales that offend us mighti- ly. First is the fact that the price is artificially main- tained as high as it is. We've been told that the government, at whatever level, has a two year stock pile of butter and yet the cost to the consumer is greater than that of margarine. We are offended as well by the fact that the Dairy Council or whoever - and we don't much care who it is - finds it necessary to advertise butter. Imagine. And, the adverts themselves are insulting, making it appear that only oversexed young people can enjoy it. Mellow yellow indeed! The capper - or crapper- however, is the latest wrinkle in what one sup- poses should be called the butter wars. Restaurants are now being offered signs for display in their win- dows stating that butter is used in their operation. The clear implication is that if a restaurant doesn't display such a sign, it doesn't use butter. Deucedly unfair As for us, we realize we're probably cutting off our nose to spite our face but we will now not eat in any restaurant that displays such a sign. A small protest perhaps but already there is too much coercion of vested bodies in our private lives. And, before there are any letters of outrage to the editor, be aware that we have a brother-in-law who is a dairy farmer. No, we don't get out butter from him_ CULTURE NOTE: The first annual Pro -Am Canadian Standup Arm - wrestling Championships will be held at the Spec- trum ( 2714 Danforth Ave.) on Sat. Aug. 20th from noon. There are expected to be over 200 mak and female athletes in various weight classes. The event is to be hosted by Gene Tatti of Hamilton who is the World Mid- dleweight Armwrestling Champion. Top finalists will win the opportunity to represent Canada in the first annual World Standup Armwrestl- ing Championships also to be held at the Spectrum on Oct. 15th before moving on to Los Angeles in November One wonders if Sylvester Stallone will show up. Granted his movie about armwrestling, Over The Top, bombed but surely he'll attempt to flog it again. (Frankly, we think it was doomed from the outset. We mean, can anyone seriously accept an armwrestler named Sylvester?) Anyway, at the Aug. 20th event intermission enter- tainment will be provided by the 5th annual Calendar Girl Ontario Pageant. Sounds like quite a day but the juxtaposition of sweaty armwrestlers and glowing beauty contestants seems curious.

In Scarborough many of Lis are keenly aware of their good work through Variety Village. Variety Village is a world class sports training and fitness centre located at Danforth Ave. and Kingston Rd. in Scarborough that caters to both the disabled and the able- bodied youth of Ontario. The greatest rewards are reaped in helping the former category and the facilities and dedicated work involved have provided a model to North America and the world. Variety Village is currently building a new aquatics wing which will be opening in the fall of 1986. The Province of Ontario has donated $1 million but there is still a shortfall of $4.7 million. As a fuodtraising event for this pool, Variety Village is holding a ..Great Lake Celebrity Swim" on Aug. 26 and 27. The swim will see celebrity participants working together to swim across Lake Ontario from Port Dalhousie to Marilyn Bell Park near the CNE grounds. Many people will be participating in this worthwhile endeavour. In fact V'idu Keith, the well known marathon swimmer who is crossing all five Great Lakes this summer, will be joining us for the culmination of this goal. As a former marathon swimmer and now an MPP. I will be participating in this event. I will be teamed with a child from Variety Village. While he or she is swimming laps in a pool, I will be doing my distance in Lake Ontario. Other MPP's from all parties have generously pledged donations in support of my swim. With such a good response I am Rohm & Haas Boosts W. H.

More Honours For Scarborough United by Ken Lama -Port In tournament play, and at the provincial level, Scarborough United Women's Soccer Club entered the second half of the 1988 season well set for an outstanding summer. Over the August holiday weekend the club won six tournament titles in Ot- tawa, Sarnia and Sault Ste. Marie. In Ontario Cup quarter final play last weekend, six teams won berths in the last four rounds of their respective age gra- In addition, another senior team could advance pen- ding a protest of their third round game; and the under 18s division will play a weekend tournament in Hamilton later this month. The Simcoe holiday weekend was certainly a celebration for United at opposite ends of Ontario - and way up north too. The ten hour drive to Sault Ste. Marie proved a very wor- thwhile journey for the senior 'Rowdies' who won that tournament for the se- cond successive year. In the nation's capital, the under ten 'Golden Pride' and the under 12 'Ghostbusters' claimed the championship trophy in their divisions. The 10 year olds conceded only one goal while scoring 28. Coach Peter Janetos was pleased with the goal scor- ing forwards, but highligbted the work of his defensive players with goalkeeper Julie McMillan having four shut -out games. The Ghostbusters victory was the team's se- cond tournament win of the At the other end of the Province, Sarnia was the location for the annual Bhxwater soccer tourna- ment. The under 14 'Stingers' made it five -for - five, defeating their younger sisters, the 'Scor- pions' 4-0 in their division final. The latter were in a poly tough gro4 and overcame several teams a full year older on their way to the final. The under 16 'Buc- caneers' also hold a 100% tournament record this season which was main- tained in Ontario's petro- chemical capital. With the goalkeeping chores shared by a triumvirate of players - Nancy Luciano. Allison Craine and Ingrid Blair - who conceded only two goals, the team cruised through to the final where they defeated Oakville 4.0. The senior 'Dynamos' had a slightly more adven- turous path to their final, losing two players to red card ejections in the semi - winning the game 2 1 1hhee host club provided the opposition in the final, where United won the win- ners trophy on the strength of a 2-0 victory. To date Scarborough United has won 18 tourna- ment titles this season. In addition, it has placed teams in finals on a number of occasions. To the best of this writer's knowledge, no club team has achieved a sweep of all available Ontario Cup titles in one season. However, Scarborough United would appear to have a very real chance to accomplish that feat this year. As a result of quarter final games last weekend, the club has two teams in each of the under 12 and tender 14 semi-finals; one in the under 16 and one in the senior division. While the Comets receiv- ed a bye into the semis, the Ghostbusters overwhelmed Sarna 11-0, Margaret Papageorge notching a hat trick and Cora Allagranza netting a pair of goals. The under 14 Scorpions were held off the score sheet by St. Catharines in the first half, but three goals in a period of 13 minutes after the re --start, all from the feet of Jackie Ley, advanced the team to the semi-final. Goalkeeper Cherish Smith had little to do as her Stinger team- mates hit the Niagara net six times. Credit goes to defenders Jill Peacock, Lori Raneth and Jody Grisdale for some strong ley. Michelle St. Aubin 'bookended' the scoring, Phis a pair from Francine Deslauners and singles by Michelle Geverink and Lisa Burgess. The Scorpions and Stingers meet in one of the semi-finals, thus assuring United a representative in the finals in Oshawa on Sept. 11th. At the under 16 level, the Buccaneers travelled to Oakville and won 3-1 on goals from Mary Pipilas, Tammy TAskos and Missy Hyman. The senior Dynamos are taking aim at a fifth suc- cessive provincial title. They claimed a semi-final berth with a 5-0 win over the team from South Ot- tawa. Karen Nystrom, Mona Anderson, Vicki Sunohara, Lisa Mclean and Annette Shields each scored a goal. Ls travel Cruising Around South America For 47 Days Back 'by popular de- mand, Chandris' S.S.

Inc. managerial positions and rgent Need For )cal Host Families Elaine Pichet is making an urgent appeal for host families who will invite an exchange student into their home for the 1988189 school year. Elaine is the Regional Manager, Ontario, for Educational Foundation for Foreign Study,a Cana- dian non-profit organiza- tion which arranges high -school exchanges for students 15-18 years of age. Students arrive here in August and many have yet to be placed with volunteer host families. Some of these students have been waiting anxiously since last September for news of their new host family. According to Elaine, "It's not only a case of families not having much surplus income. Economic difficulties have been with us for a long time. Besides, people in less affluent areas are some of the most willing to host. We just have to let caring, happy families know about the program; we want good homes n ardywewalt�oneses. or families with teenagers. If these students are going to arrive before school starts, we have to find them homes now!. Pro- cessing their visas takes time, and time is quickly running out!„ So here are some details for all those Ontario families who have an in- terest in international friendship and an extra bed. You can pick your own student from any one of 21 different countries, all of whom speak English, have good grades, and will bring their own spending money and insurance. They all have a real desire to learn more about the Canadian way of life. The foundation has volunteer representatives in your area to answer any questions you might have and to provide support dur- ing the year. If you, or someone you know, would be interested in hosting an exchange stu- dent, please call Elaine toll-free at 1-800-363-3337 and she will give you all the information you need and will put you in contact with your local volunteer representative.

It functions on most court surfaces except grass, but seems best suited for hard surfaces and courts used at most indoor tournaments. An Accu -Call court has been installed for recreational players at the Ontario Racquet Club in Mississauga to deter- mine their interest in the sys- tem. In another sport, a 20 -year- old Ontario man knew he had the makings of a invention devices that required rolling the ball up a ramp. To better simulate conditions on the green, he removed a heating vent from his parents' living room floor, stuffed the open- ing with towels and continued practising. Wilson then improved the system by making a We in a piece of cardboard and taping a coffee can on the underside. With the help of his father, also an avid golfer, he made a working prototype of Putt- acup and successfully launch- ed it on the market The Wilsons have sold over 25000 PuttacuP% and earned back their initial investment of $23,000 several times over. These areust two of the many Canadian inventions that will be on display at the "Bravo Canada!' exhibit at the Canadian National Exhibition in Toronto from Aug. 17 to Sept. 5, 1988. Sponsored by the De rt Pa - Canadian ingenuity. Designed by Montreal in- ventor Gregory Lekhtman in 1984, "Exerk)per< look like skates with curved springs in- stead of blades on the bottom of the bo oc They are designed to eliminate the bone -jarring stress of running of pavement. The springs absorb the body's kinetic energy, gently reapplying that force to leg muscles so they work harder in less time. According to Lekhtman, running once kilo- metre in Lxerlopers is equiv- alent to running about four kilometres in conventional running shoes. Lekhtman immigrated to Canada from the Soviet Union in 1974. lie has marketed 17 different fitness -related pro- ducts, from hiofeedback ma- chines that can he strapped to the head, to pulse meters for use during exercise.
