(Photo - Bob Watson) Boost To Durham Sport Fishing The lure of sport fishing and what it could mean to Durham Region is the focus of a new study an- nounced by the Economic Development Department for the Region. This study is being undertaken as a result of several meetings over the past year of the Durham Region Sport Fishing Ad- visory Committee, an ad hoc group concerned with the future of sport fishing in Durham. The group is comprised of members of the sport fishing communi- ty, representatives from the Ministry of Natural Resources, the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority and staff members of the Economic Development Department. The committee strongly supports the study which recommend improvements and actions which would further enhance recrea- tional and business oppor- tunnies in Durham Region - Sport fishing is becoming an increasingly popular recreational activity in Durham Region. This popularity is not only at- tracting regional residents but also visitors from other parts of Ontario and neighbouring areas of the United State, thereby con- tributing to the growth of the tourism industry and further diversifying the economy.Regional A reflection of this in- creased activity has been the development and growth of a number of sport fishing derbies and contests. These developments in turn have contributed to a rapid growth in support in- dustries such as charter boat operators, guide ser- vices and small and large firms which supply ser- vices and equipment.

National Telephone Corporation 4500 Sheppard Avenue East, Unit 21, Scarborough 754.4500 However, it is felt that sport fishing has an even greater potential to generate social and economic benefits than is presently being realized This study, in addressing this potential, will serve as a catalyrt fort expansion of this important segment of the local economy. The Committee has an- nounced the selection of Montgomery Consultants to undertake this period. This selection was based upon the firm's extensive background in economic development, marketing, promotion and particularly sport fishing. Mr. Mon- tgomery will be consulting extensively with private and public organizations and individuals in order to gain a thorough understan- ding of this industry as it pertains to Durham Region. J, cols cur tcOti's 1 Trustees Begin New Year Durham Board of Educa- tion Trustees Con- gratulated an Election Chairman Sandra Lawson congratulated all the incumbent trustees who were successful in re- election and the five new trustees elected to the Durham Board of Educa- tion. She introduced the two new trustees who were present, Darrel Berry and Roberta Drew of Ajax and Port Perry, respectively. "Art, symbolism and Multicalturalism" Presented Carmen Germano, Public Relations Chairman for the Multicultural Coun- cil of Oshawa and District, expressed appreciation to Trustees Lorna Murphy and Heather Beveridge for their support. Also, she ,recognized the board's coo- tribution through Cindy More, Art Consultant, and Craig Burch, Vice - Principal of Anderson M. The trustees were presented with a copy of Art, Symbolism and Multiculturalism", a com- pilation of writing and PC - tures by students of Oshawa's public and separate schools. A copy of the boom will be sem to each student whose art- work was selected and to each school librarian. This is the seeoid such book published by the Council. The first boot, "Hang on in Harmony. published in 1W was widely appiaided by the community. Both books have endeavored to pro - mot racial harmony by encohr3ginrg children to ex- press their reflections on the variety of cultures which make up Durham Region. Trustees com- mended everyone involved for their ongoing efforts to foster rude standing and respect among people of different cultural and religious backgrounds- P.D. Barrs Highlighted P.D. Day Committee bers Maria Zwarycz- Clbalberrry and Gary James Dor ss Cherkahthe ent seentary con- dary panel, and Mary Perkins; of Durham College were on hand to inform trustees of the events scheduled fort Nov. 18, 1988 P.A. Day. Theme of the day will be "Partners in Learning" to reflect the fact that elementary, secondary, and post secon- dary educators will once again be participating in a joint professional develop - mart endeavour. Although a number of workshops will be held at various Durham Board schools, most will be held on the campus at Durham College. Keynote speakers will in- clude York University host teacher Michael Tudor, Centennial College Associate Dean Nell Waldman, experienced teacher and principal Yvonne Rosenberg, Durham Board of Educa- tion Director Bruce Mather, Durham College President Gary Polonsky and Deputy Minister of Education Bernard Shapiro. Over 200 full or half-day workshops will be offered, along with publishers' displays and the keynote presentations. The com- mittee representatives were asked to extend the Board's congratulations and best wishes to all those involved in the organiza- tion of the day. Northern Telecom Na- tional Institute The Durham Board of Education was one of only two school boards across Canada to have two par- ticipants selected for this summer's institute. David White, a teacher from Har- wood Secondary School, and John Ivanco, a teacher from Uxbridge Secondary School, were present to ex- plain their involvement in the week-long how students may benefit, and the personal satisfac- tion and growth the ex- perience provided. Trustees also learned about an award - computerized monopoly game developed by David White to assist students in learning basic accounting p - OPEN Resehotians Passer The chairman reported an the current activities of the local Ontario Public Education Network Com- mittee, consisting of representatives from the three teachers' federa- tions, ALSBO and the On- tario Public School Direc- tors' Association. The group is endeavouring to acquaint Durham Board staff, parents. ratepayers, M-P.Ps and the media with the program's ®Dais. The board passed resolu- tions stating that the pro- vince should pay a greater share of education costs in order to take some of the pressure off local property owner , and that the pro- vince keep its commitment that full funding of the separate school system will not be carried out at the ex - 'Ip of system. express- ing concern about the cur- rent and future funding of public education will be forwarded to the Premier of Ontario, the Treasurer of Ontario and the Minister of Education. Multicultural and Race Relations Advisory Com- mittee to be Struck A Durham Board Multicultural and Race Relations Advisory Com- mittee will shortly be struck. The committee will consist oft &Verinten- dent of Curriculum and Program, two Superintendents of Schools, three trustees, one elemen- tary and one secondary Principals' Association representative, one representative from the Multicultural Council of Oshawa and District, eight representatives of ethnic organizations and three citizens - at - large, preferably from School Ad- visory Committees. The mandate of the committee will be to advise the board, through the Superintendent of Curriculum and Pro- gram, on all matters per- taining to multiculturalism and race relations. The term of office of members will terminate and be sub- ject to renewal at the end of the term for elected trustees. Page 2 THE NEWS/POST Wed. Nov. 30, 1988 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Where Are We Going? by Bob Watson This past week the Canadian dollar's value to the US dollar rose dramatically and despite this the head of the Bank of Canada decided to lower the interest rate by only a mere few points. To add to the peculiar situation the Cana- dian Imperial Bank of Commerce announced that its mor- tgage rate was going up 124%! So much for intelligent money management in our coun- try•: The dollar gets stronger, the Bank of Canada won't lower the prime rate and one bank decides to go the op- posite direction and push mortgage interest rates up. This all makes for a great economy. We believe that the two main pillars of a good economy is the ability of people to buy a car and more importantly, a house. If interest rates continue to roll upwards, both of these mainstays of the economy will collapse and we will enjoy another recession. It seems obvious to even a casual observer that last week the prime rate should have been reduced by one-quarter percentage in order to keep mortgages within the reach of the average person. Instead we have a very small interest drop which doesn't make economic sense. One of the first moves of the Prime Minister we believe, is to discuss this problem with the head of the Bank of Canada and try and convince him that individual Canadians come before the interest of our large banks. Perhaps if his reasoning for high interest rates is not based on logic, he should be replaced. A lower priced Canadian dollar is ideal for our exporters and lower interest rates are better for the consumer - so why are we experiencing the tel Just 14 Years Late M Bob Watson Well, top officials are fraalh• saying that the Malton air- port is inadequate for the traffic being generated in Toronto area' Fin alh• some top brass are saying what any observer knew some 14 years ago - that if you continue to build and double the population of the Metro Toronto area you will need another international airport. Of course. now someone at Queen's Park might realize that the Pickering airport. with its necessary roads like Hwy. 407. are necessary. but Premier Peterson seems to be very sloe on this topic. At Ottawa anything for Ontario seems to get a lav priority compared to the PM's home pro - ounce of Quebec. where a second large airport (Mirabe l ) for Montreal stands idly by and wasted from the Trudeau era. And besides our airport facilities we believe that atten- tionshould be paid to curtailing the future growth of this ur- banized area now spreading outwards at a great rate. Former Premier Bill Davis was going to give tis a greenbelt to contain growth - but he newer did. We also need highways to handle the traffic that is already here, which former Premier Bill Davis wouldn't spend money on roads and the current Premier of Ontario seems against the idea as well. All we say is, ..wake up Queen's Park and Ottawa" before we all moan the loss of a great vibrant urban area known as Metro Toronto and area. :Metro Home Show '89 More than 350 exhibitors representing over 2,000 com- panies have taken display space at the fifth annual Metro Home Slow Jan. 18-22 in the Metro Toronto Convention Cen- tre. Occupying the 400,000 sq. ft. convention centre, fireplaces and furnaces, floor coverings and fine fur- nishings will enthral the 140.000 expected visitors. First Snow As the first flakes of the season tumble down, children and the winter sport lovers whoop for joy while oldsters, with pouting expressions, shiver, anticipating the months ahead. On the ground the snow creates a lovely illusion for me. But, in no time, like all my other illusions, it disappears.

A team of doctors at Scarborough General Hospital have agreed to perform reconstructive surgery on an 18 month old Guyanese girl. who was born with a severe cleft - palate. Little Guitree Sur- sattie Bissoon also has a bilateral cleft lip ( part of the lip is mkaing) and the prolabium ( the prominent central part of the upper lip) with two teeth attach- ed, protrudes from her mouth. Guitree's parents, who are farmers from West Bank Demerara, were told by doctors in Guyana there is neither the medical skill nor the facilities in their native country to perform the necessary surgery. After eight months of im- migration paperwork with the assistance from relatives in Markham and the co-operation of the Guyanese Heritage and Cultural Association in Toronto and Scarborough General Hospital, Guitree ( pronounced Guy -tree) ar- rived in Canada at the end of October. Dr. Lloyd Carlson will be helping the team and Dr. Sandra Voice will be per- forming the surgery in two stages. The first operation will be a lip adhesion to br- ing whatever tissue possi- ble across the gap and to mold the central part of the child's face. This operation will take place in about six weeks. Approximately eight months after the initial operation, a second surgical procedure will repair Guitree's lip and palate. This schedule will accommodate visa restric- tions for Guitree's mother Madai who is staying with relatives in Toronto. To prepare for the opera- tion Guitree has been wear- ing a splinting device, made by SGH occupational therapists, which applies pressure to a silicone mold fitted to her mouth Doc- tors hope this ortbotic device will centralize and help push Deet the pm labium. The splint resembles a child's hockey helmet and can be easily removed to allow Guitree to eat. All of the physicians who will be working with Guitree have agreed to pro- vide their skill and time at no cost. However, hospital fees and therapy visits - oc- cupational acupational therapy and speech therapy - must be paid for by the patient. An appeal has been launched through the Association of Concerned Guyanese to hip pay hospital costs- Statfacts On Lotteries While Ontario recorded the highest ticket sales - over $1 billion in 1985 - Quebecers are the most ardent players, with almost eight out of 10 families reporting ticket purchases in 1986 and average spending of $187 per family. Ticket buying ran close to the 70% national average in New Brunswick, Ontario, Alberta and British Columbia, slightly below in Nova Scotia, Manitoba and Saskatchewan, and below 50% in both Newfoundland and Prince Edward Island. Almost $1.3 billion was returned as prizes in 1965. Most of these winnings were in the 82, $5 and $10 categories. The odds of winning in the lotteries start at about one in -three for the minor prizes and can go as high as one in 14 million. Chances at a major prize of $100,000 or more in the major lotteries start at one in 500,000. Despite the odds, the lotteries handed out some 100 prizes of El million or more in 1985. 'Bob's Notes Santa Letter Writing Program Canada Post Corporation employees, who last year volunteered to answer close to 800,000 letters Santa Claus received from children across Canada and other parts of the world, are geared up to do it again this year. "As in previous years, every child who writes a letter to Santa, addresses it correctly and includes a return address, will receive a reply from the North Pole," said Winne Labelle, this year's national coordinator at Canada Post for Santa's letter writing program. The program had a modest debut in 1973. That was when a handful of postal employees across the country answered a few thousand letters addressed simply to "Santa Claus„ while several thousands more were addressed to him in care of particular department stores and delivered to those stores. Inst year, 8,516 postal employees volunteered their per- sonal time to reply to the nearly 800,000 letters. They were assisted in their letter writing endeavours by senior citizens, community and professional groups across the country. Letters to Santa should be sent to the following address: Santa Claus, North Pole, Canada, HOH OHO. Dryers To Heat Wash Water Ontario Hydro will test a new heat pump/heat recovery system at its Orangeville trades training centre next year. The system will use waste heat from clothes dryers to beat water for washers at the centre's laundry facility. The training centre operates like a small hotel, with a comnnential size laundry facility on site. Over the next few months the heat pump system will be installed to draw ex- cess heat and humidity from the dryers and laundry area and use it to beat water. It's expected almost all the energy currently needed to beat water will be provided by the heat pump, saving energy and making the work area more com- fortable for staff.

The previous weekend, electricity demand hit a higher level than expected when customers turned an lights and beating to cope with cold, rainy weather. On Saturday.

I Bill Watt's Worlds IN PRINT: You must surely have seen the huge book store displays of Sarum /Edward 1Rutherfurd ( Ivy Books) . The book well deserves the intense promotion it has received. It's a huge - over 1000 pages - novel written in a manner rather like that of Michenet. The word Sarum is, strictly speaking, an inac- curate tendering of the ab- breviation used by medieval scribes for Salisbury and the book traces its history through generations of families who have lived there. It begins about 7500 B.C. and con - tines to 1985. The reader is witness to the creation of the island of Britain and a helicopter visit by the Martie's Parties Party Supplies & Rentals 1541 Kingston Rd. Sea. boo ouplt 1694.9059 Prince of Wales. Mr. Rutherfurd is quite ingenious as he describes the events in between all the while intertwining five families and their descen- dants. One has no idea how long he spent in the crea- tion of the book but what ever the effort it is well worth it. To be sure, Sarum is not always the easiest of books to read. The sheer scope of It sometimes daunts. We found it helpful to put it aside from time to time and make a welcome return. Others, however, might elect to read it straight through. Each will have to make his or her own deci- sion. All will enjoy it. Now that the Vatican has officially declared The Shroud of Turin to be a fake (what, after all, did one really think the Vatican could do?) some of the im- Mof Children of the Shroud, Garfield Reeves - Stevens ( Doubleday) has been lost.

Around and Abou Your Dining &Entertainment Guide The premise is that a scientist has taken "blood" scrapings in secret from the Shroud. He has then us- ed advanced genetic techniques to clone physical descendants of Jesus, complete with His powers. The children are separated but there is a mental bond that unites them all though they are not aware of what it is. The drama begins when a T.V. evangelist, a thinly disguised version of you - know -who discovers the ex- istence of the children of the shroud and sets out to acquire them and use them for his maniacal purposes. It would be unfair to divulge anything else about the book. Please take our word that it is exciting and holds the reader right to the ending far fetched as it might be. (A mysterious character whispers to one of the children "I knew your Father".) No Sense of Evil James Barras (Ivy) makes no sense at all to this reviewer. Purportedly a definitive version of the case of E. Herbert Nor- man, we found it so filled with suspicions and innuen- do as to be useless. Norman might well have been a Soviet mole we rather think he was but there is no proof here. Sorry. Proof of some statements is notably missing as well in Elephants Can't Jump & Other Freaky Facts About Animals Barbara Sealing (Ivy). This is a breezy little collection of facts about animals. mostly one or two liners. To wit: the pouch under a pelican's bill can bold up to 25 pounds of fish or 3 gallons of water. There are crabs that climb trees to snip off coconuts. The lips of a hippopotamus are nearly two feet wide. Well all right: those facts are clearly demonstrable. But bow about these few gam? Male bowerbirds of Australia and New Guinea construct elaborate cour- ting palaces to which they bring females in order to mate. So far so good. But it's also stated that some even paint the walls with paintbrushes made from twigs stripped of bark, dip- ped in a mixture of saliva and charcoal or berry juice. Pretty far fetched wouldn't you say. The embryos of sand Breakfast With Santa includes a full breakfast, magic show and special surprises to the children. SAT.

No one wrote preludes like Sexgey Rakhmaninov and there is no other piece of piano music quite like his Opus 3, Number 2 in C Sharp Minor (Lento). More passionate than� r, tpiece stongtha � true 20th century music. Brilliant and bold it has an emotion about it that can be described only as de- fiant. It is one of the works in- cluded on this quite remarkable CD. Now this is music that demands and commands attention. It cannot be ignored or pop- ped into the CD player simply to provide background music. (Of course no music should be so relegated but it is a fact that some music deserves fess attention than alms.) It is not for the faint of Neither is it for a mum- cian incapable of presen- ting Rakhmamnov's music with the passion it can- mands. Miss Deyanova is uanknown to us but we sug- gest that she plays Rakhmaninov better than anyone we have heard to date with the possible ex- ception of Garrick Ohlson. Her Conger work is in- tricate as demanded but more than that, there is the power of her forte equalled only by the delicacy of her piano even when extended into diminuendo. This is perhaps not an every day listening ex- perience. It's probably best enjoyed on a rainy Sunday afternoon before a fire while sipping brandy and, if one still indulges, smok- ing a Romeo y Julietta. Your lady will enjoy a dry sherry and biscuit. You will both enjoy your afternoon. YULETIDE: We think it not inap- propriate at this time to mention four concerts of particular interest coming up at Roy Thomson Hall. On Sun. Dec.

Ed Fulton Minisbr d Trsnspwtatbn MPP Scarborough East Decisive Action Protects Ontario Environment The government has strongly reinforced its continued commitment to a clean environment with decisive action on several fronts. Initiatives such as the Conservation Land Tax Reduction :Program, the monitoring of industrial chemicals in lakes and rivers and measures toward recycling are all aimed at combating pollutants on land, through our waterways and in the air. Tax Program Will Preserve "Natural State" of Conserva- tion lands Natural Resources Minister Vince Kerrie has introduced a precedent setting tax rebate program that could preserve up to a quarter of a million hectares of Ontario conservation land. The program, the fust in Canada, will provide owners of specific conservation lands with up to a 100 percent rebate of municipal taxes. "In effect," Mr. Kerrio said, "we are telling most private landowners, if you preserve yotw con- servation lands in their natural state, we'll refund all the municipal taxes you pay on those lands." Lands that qualify taxies• the Conservation Land Tax Reduction Program include Class 1, 2 and 3 wetlands, pro- vincially significant areas of Natural and Scientific in- terest; lands designated as Escarpment Natural Areas within the Niagara Escarpment Plan, Conservation Authority lands that do not produce revenue and other con- servation lands owned by non-profit groups. The program lives up to a government commitment to ease the property tax burden threatening the natural heritage value of these important lands. "It reaffirms our government's commitment to preserving Ontario's w+edands and conservation lards," Mr. Kerrio said.

"Today we have taken a step forward in our program that, over time, will virtually eliminate persistent toxic chemicals from discharges to Ontario's waterways," Mr. Bradley said. "We will use monitoring data to set stringent discharge limits for organic chemical manufacturers." Under the terms of the regulation, which is currently in draft form for a 3o day public review, each plant must sam- ple its own discharges and have them tested to ministry specification, with random ministry audits to verify that results are accurate and representative. The regulation stipulates quality control and quality assurance procedures for collecting, storing, analysing and checking samples. Costs incurred under the regulation will be borne by the in- dustry. Enforcement of the regulation is provided under the On- tario Environmental Protection Act. Violators face fires of up to $50,000 a day. !Province's Investment in Recycling Increased Ten Feld in Three Years Recycling is catching on in Ontario, sparked by a serious [financial commitment by the province. From $750,000 in 1985, the province's investment in recycling has grown to x1.7 million dollars this year. The result is a greater com- munity awareness of the benefits of recycling and a desire to recycle. In a speech to the Recycling Council of Ontario's antral conference, Environment Minister Jim Bradley said that the ntlptber of municipalities now [sing the Blue Box curb- side recycling programs has doubled in the last year to 92 while "the momentum keeps building' The five cities and one borough that make up Metropolitan Toronto have also announced that they will participate in 'Blue Box'. This month, Mr. Bradley and Premier David Peterson will be presenting the symbolic "one -millionth" Blue Box to go into household use. The Minister told the conference that he expects to see a target level of 1,200,000 blue boxes achieved shortly thereafter. "Our province," Mr. Bradley said, "generates enough garbage every year to fill a line of garbage trucks stret- dung from Windsor to Whitehorse.

Louis and Lina Qtahco have been enchusiasticauy involved in helping to organize these benefit con- certs, for the past four years and their artists friends have been generous in donating tbeir talents and time for the cause. The funds raised are directed to the drought and famine stricken Northern Kenya and Southern Ethiopia for the drilling of wells. The Consolata Mis- sionaries have been active in these arras since the beginning of the century and they are instrurrhental in relaying the desperate conditions of these people, especially the children.

Traces of 5W years of Moorish occupation are to be found in the squat whitewashed houses, in- tricately decorated chimney pots, brightly col- oured fishing boats and azulejos - the blue and white tiks which cover the walls of churches. Algarve markets are a revelation, colourful and noisy - you can buy almost anything there and no trip is complete without bargaining with the locals. Handicrafts include atWw- tive and good value ceramics, tiles, leather goods, copperware, cork, straw and cane products. In the larger resorts there are many diwothe- ques and night dubs and three casinos, at Vilanoura, >llonte Gordo and Alvor. Everywhere you will find good value restaurants, offering both local and international specialities. The Algarve is particularly famous for its fresh fish and sea food, washed down with the local Lagoa wine or cool spark] - log 1lhdho Verde.

Nov. 30, 1988 Vachon Renews Its Support Of Cross -Country Skiing Vachon will again lend its support to the develop- ment of cross country ski- ing on a national level as well as to Cross Country Canada when it resumes its role as sponsor to the Vachon Cup and to the Na- tional Team in addition to subsidizing a private team known as the Vachon Team. Launched two years ago, the Vachon Cup program is a series of 16 races held at various points across the country and permitting skiers from all provinces to compete against members of the national team. This series, which has been very successful over the past two years, plays an important role in the evolution of Canadian cross country competition at all levels, from beginner to ex- pert. The Vachon sponsor- ship program provides financial aid to organizaing clubs in addition to technical support on com- petition sites and the pro,- motion ro-motion of various events. A new element has been added to Vachon's support of cross country skiing. This is the Vachon Team, an elite team made up of three of Canada's top athletes: Pierre Harvey and Jocelyn Vezina, from Quebec and Richard Weber of Gatineau, all ex - members of the national team. Wearing the colours of Vachon and associated sponsors, these three skiers will compete in a series of national races and will no doubt be a source of motivation to members of the National Team as well as to any other skiers who have a chance to compete against them. The Vachon Team will also take part in some international races, among them the Loppets BENMAK DISTRIBUTORS Cosmetic Accessories 'Warehouse Sale We Variety of Products Available Cosmetic Organizers • Men's Cologne with Sunglasses Bath Tub Puppets o Stocking Stuffers Cassette Tape Holders • Gift Sets AND MUCH MORE Location: Dates and Times Friday, December 2 Saturday, December 3 Sunday, December 4 Saturday, December 10 Sunday, December 11 ...

Of Trade Proposes Consumer Protection Laws The Provincial Govern- ment should educate conabout programs - sumers already exist to help them settle disputes, says The Board of Trade of Metro Toronto. Increased awareness, not a proposed new "Consumer Com - Board", is what is needed to ensure con- sumer's concerns are ad- dressed, the board advises. In a lengthy submission responding to the Report of the Legislative Review Project on Consumer Pro- tection and Business Prac- tices, the board says new systems proposed to aid consumers would be un- necessarily costly for tax- payers. "'Ile real issue is con- sumer rights and the con- sumer's awarness of those rights," says John Dean, Chairman of the board's Legislation Committee. -,The public should be bet- ter unformed about avenues of recourse already available to them. That, plus a revamped Small Claims Court, sup- plemented by the Better Business Bureaux, is what is required to answer con- sumers' concerns. " Small Claims Court pro- cedures should be streamlined to improve ef- ficiency and accessability for consumers. Further, the Canadian Council of Better Business Bureaux should be allocated addi- tional public funds to pro- vide consumer education and mediation services, suggests the board, rather than the Ministry of Con- sumer and Commercial Relations increasing its in- volvement in mediation. The board also expressed concern that some of the PVVIAMS prod "am adversarial in nature and will create a rift between business and the consumer." Says Dean, "We propose a more con- ciliatory oo-ciliatory approach that considers the rights and responsibilities of both business and consumers. From a business perspec- tive, the vast majority of businesses operate in a scrupulous manner. When a problem with a dishonest operation crops up, the business community is anxious to have it cleared UP-,. Among speck recom- mendations made by the board: Establish a consumer in- formation telephone line; incorporate consumer's rights education into life - skills classes taught in schools; coordinate educa- tion efforts with the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Technology. A Consumer Rights Legal Aid Clinic should not be created as the Ontario Legal Aid Plan already provides legal services for those unable to pay. Any government body established to intercede in consumer commercial disputes should be geared toward conciliation, not litigation, along the lines of an ombudsman's office. The publication of orders or convictions against businesses should not be authorized. Often a business or its employee has wronged a customer unintentionally, and it would be unreasonable to put the name of the com- pany on what would amount to a blacklist. Businesses should not be expected to post signs that detail consumer protection legislation. Instead, they should be asked to display information pamphlets provided by the Ministry outlining consumers' rights. A Consumer's lien should not be establsihed for those consumers who have pre- paid for goods and services and lose money as a result of dealing with a business that becomes insolvent. By defuution there are not enough assets in the estate of an insolvent business to satisfy all claims, and the introduction of a consumer's lien would prefer a small class at the cost of further losses by re- maining creditors. Ap- plication of the proposed consumers lien could result m different treatment of similar claims by in- dividual consumers against a single business. The result would be incon- sistent with fundamental principles of bankruptcy Advertise In The News • It Pays! law. The board cannot sup- port upport a Consumer Com- plaints Board that would not allow legal representa- tion for either the con- sumer or the business in- volved, as an alternative to litigation before Small Claims Court. The Ontario Government should not support a system that does not allow the right to counsel, as guaranteed in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, The Board feels. Warranties take on the characteristics of a guarantee when applied to services, and while the con- sumer should have some redress when professional advice is followed and pro- ves to be very incorrect, misleading or poorly bas- ed, The Board warns this is a difficult area in which to establish parameters. The Board of Trade of Metro Toronto is the largest board chamber of commerce in North America, with over 15,500 members. Copies of The Board's response to pro -- posed consumer protection and business practices legislation are available on request. Wed.

"Devilicious Meaty Ribs" have a Southwestern flavour that will heat up virtually any chilly evening. Created by the home economists at the Kikkoman Kitchens, these ribs have an invitingly spicy flavour and are extremely easy to prepare. A short, but carefully chosen, list of ingre- dients and slow cooking are the secret. And, you may be surprised that a crucial ingredient is bottled teriyaki haste and glaze. Made from naturally brewed soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, onion and other select seasonings, it has a delicately sweet yet slightly tangy taste. It's a perfect time-saver for today's busy cooks and it has an ideal con- sistency for easy basting. For the " devilicious" basting sauceuse add a splash of tart vinegar, a healthy sprinkling of spicy Vet crushed red pepper and slivers of delightfully pungent ginger to the teriyaki baste and glaze. Then, simply baste the ribs and bake until tender.
