AVD 1 Airport Still Possible Federal authorities are still considering Pickering as an international airport in view of the difficult situation at Pearson Inter- national Airport. With 9000 acres still in the hands of Transport Canada, which is sufficient for a full international air- port, an official at Ottawa says that an international airport in Pickering is not ruled out and if built could include six runways. Gary Herrema, Durham Regional Chairman, is pushing strongly for such a project which would bring tremendous business to the region and keep taxes down on homes. MPP Norah Stoner is against the whole project while Charles Godfrey, chairman of the People or Planes group remains con- vinced that the Pickering airport will never be built. However, with the mess at Pearson International some decision on future airports must be made soon by Ottawa. Report Says Town Needs More Fire Equipment The long awaited con- fidential fire study done by the Dillon Consultants was disclosed at Pickering Council on Mon. Jan. 16. Pickering Council re- quested the Dillon Firm to conduct a study to establish a new Cue hall location. The study was completed last year. but their findings and recommendations were not made public at that time. The report focused on the response tunes of fire trucks arriving at a fire and indicated 76 percent of the time, the dept. can res- pond to a fire within the ac- ceptable time limit of four minutes. However, the second response time of an addi- tional fire truck, if needed, declines dramatically. On- ly 57 percent of fire trucks coating from another sta- tion are able to provide back up within the seven minute acceptable time. The consultants said that an acceptable first and se- cond response time should be obtained in eighty per- cent of calls. If the town does not in- crease its fire protection, the consultants said, it could be placed in a critical situation with fire trucks taking longer to respond to fires further away as development increased The conclusions were based on a projected Pickering population of 71.000 by 1997 and a pro- jected population for the proposed Town of Seaton of 5,000 in 1997. The repot recommends that the Pickering Fire Department needs new pumpers, increased man- power, and a new fine sta- tion built at Dixie Rd. and Finch Ave. E. In future years more fire halls in Claremont and Brougham will be needed, the report concluded. Town Budget Up 9.5% Sparks flew at Pickering Town Council an Jan. 16th when an outraged Betsy Gummo attacked council for bringing in a budget that would increase Lazes by 9.5%. Two councillors, Denner and Dickerson, had to de- fend their requests for car phones - Mayor Wayne Arthurs was asked to justify having an executive assistant and a new car as part of the budget - Councillor Dickerson argued that the request for car phones was a necessary communication tool. Councillor Brenner con- tended that the phones are on a trial basis and he would be responsible for the rental costs of the phone and only 30 minutes of calls per month will be paid for by the town. Many council members pointed out the monumen- tal task they faced dealing with the budget. At first council was fac- ing a 30% increase in the mill rate, however, after some 13 hours of budget discussions reduced it to 9.5%. Mayor Wayne Arthurs defended the $28 mullion budget - He said there was much "catching up" to do in upgrading the town's in- frastructure. Durham Board Of Education Highlights Anderson Students Enter- dedication to the vocal tain music program at Ander- During the board's sup- per break, Anderson CVI's Jazz Incorporated treated trustees to several choral selections including favourites Happy Together and When the Saints Go Marching In. The students were conducted by teacher Bev Foster and accom- panied on the drums and keyboard. Later, in the Board Room, trustees praised the students, gold medal winners in the 1988 Ontario Vocal Festival, and presented them with Board pins as a momento of their visit. Bev Foster was commended for her work with the students and son CVI. United Way Results Ap. plauded Correspondence from Marjorie Hodges and Tom Hodgson, Chair and Vice Chair respectively of the local United Way Educa- tion Division, extended congratulations to all staff who participated in the 1989 fund raising campaign. Ninety five thousand dollars was raised, $24,000 of which was contributed by students through ac- tivities held in a number of Durham Board schools. This campaign total represents a 15% increase over 1967. Page 2 THE NEWS/POST Wed. Jan. 25, 1989 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Pickering Airport by Bob Watson Despite all the protestations of the People or Planes group led by NDPer Dr. Charles Godfrey, the establish- ment of the Pickering Airport is long overdue. The land is already in the hands of the federal government and all that is needed is for the provincial government to get off its hands and build highways, such as No. 407, to connect Pear- son and Pickering. Durham Region Chairman Gary Herrema is speaking strongly in favour of the airport site and there are many community leaders in Pickering who would like to see planes landing in the 9000 acres Pickering Airport site. Airline pilots have expressed their feelings on the safety factor if all planes are required to land at Pearson. They should know a lot more about safety and landing than any other group and those who are anxious about so-called noise over their homes by hovering aircraft should be reassured that safety of human beings is far more important than a little noise. This airport is about 14 years overdue and would have been in place for this area's expansion if a certain Premier William Davis had carried out his government's plans for the airport and the necessary roads and services leading to it. We trust that the current premier of our province has studied up on this past period of time and does not make the same mistake which Davis did. Air travel is here to stay and is necessary if this region of Canada is going to take advantage of the growth and poten- tial of our industrial expansion. Express Support For Police Robert Runeiman, P.C. Critic for the Solicitor General, has called on his fellow MPPs to express support for police officers across the province for "the effective job they do for us on a daily basis and for the performance of their duties in a cotsscietttiouas manner in the interest of protec- ting the public. „ Runciman, in a statement to the legislature, expressed his disappointment that members of the house had not risen to state their support for police officers, especially in light of the recent negative publicity given police following two police shootings of private citizens. He told the House that within the last few weeks a police offices had been killed in the line of duty, the result of a traf fic mishap. Also. a woman police officer had part of her leg amputated after being hit by a car when standing behind her cruiser. "No one stood up in this house to express condolences on the death of the one officer nor did a member stand to ad- dress the fact the woman officer's career on the force is now in question because of her leg amputation," he noted - In regard to the charges which have been laid against of- ficers in connection with police shootings. Ru nciman stated, '-I agree that such charges should be laid when evidence supports those charges. However, given all of the negative press the police have received recently, 1 want to remind members that these officers are innocent until pro- ven roven guilty. It is imperative that we maintain a balance bet- ween stating our concern over questionable actions of our police forces and our support for their dedication to their duties. ' Rumcimran added, "Police officers are human beings and mistakes will be made. However. we must also recognize that officers are called upon to make split second decisions in the interest of enforeang the laws of our province." He concluded his remarks by asking the speaker and members of the legislature to join hire in stating support for police forces and to express to them the respect they deserve.

MPP Scarborough-Agincotrt, has an- nounced provincial grants totalling $75,000 as start up fun- ding for three Agincourt duld care centres. The new cew tres will permit a combined enrollment of up to 155 children. Lynapte Junior Y will receive $20.000 toward start tip for 44 child care spaces at Lynngate Jr. Public School, 129 Cass Ave. Lynngate will provide care for up to 22 preschoolers, ages 2-1 2 to five years, and 22 school age children from six to nine years old. A grant of $15,000 goes to Cheers Day Care, in the Chinese United Church, 3300 Kennedy Road. Up to 15 toddlers (18 to 30 months ) and 32 preschoolers will be accommodated. Vradenburg Jr. Public School, 50 Vradenburg Dr. will receive $40.000 Lomond its start up casts for a total of 64 child care spaces. Up to 49 of these spaces will be for preschoolers, with the remainder for school age youngsters - Capital Conservation Grants Recreation facilities throughout central Ontario will receive Capital Conservation Program grants for repairs and upgrading, Ontario Minister of Tourism and Recrea- tion Hugh P. O'Neil has announced. The $5.1 million Capital Conservation program is one of two Ministry programs that will provide more than $ao million to Ontario community recreation facilities. Some of the major recipients of Capital Conservation fun - dug in antral Ontario include Vellore School in the Town of Vaughan, Toronto's Humber Valley Golf Course and Agincourt Recreation Centre/ Arena in Scarborough. Scarborough's Agincourt Recreation Centre and Arena will use a $100,000 grant to convert an existing ammonia refrigeration system to brine for safety reasons. New ven- tilation and a new compressor are included in the repairs. 38 Hospitals Receive Grants Thirty-eight Ontario hospitals will receive grants totall- ing $1.6 million to install computerized patient information systems for emergency care, Health Minister Elinor Caplan has announced. Most Ontario hospital emergency departments now keep records manually, making it difficult to compile and analyse statistics about emergency services. The Ministry of Health recognizes that hospitals could benefit from com- puterized patient information systems in emergency departments. The new systems will facilitate planning for emergency services and help streamline administrative tasks. Data analysis will assist emergency personnel in providing better patient care. Wong Announced $40,000 Grant George Brown College will receive a grant of $40,000 to assist in providing private sector work places with the skills needed to manage a multicultural work place, Bob Wong (MPP Fort York) has announced. -------------------- Voters Not Influenced By Amount Of Money Spent The results from recent Angus Reid poll questions, com- missioned by The National Citizens' Coalition, shows that an overwhelming majority of Canadians are not influenced during elections by the amount of money a candidate spends. The poll results also revealed that: 59% believed that outlawing independent spending by citizens during elec- tions violated citizens' freedom of speech; 84% believed that forced union dues should not be used to support political parties, and 71% believed that taxpayers' dollars should not be used to subsidize political parties. One question on the poll, conducted in December of 1988, asked Canadians if they would be more likely or less likely to vote for a candidate who spent substantially more than other candidates. Seventy three percent of the respondents said it would not matter; 19 percent said they would be less likely to vote for such a candidate and 5% said they would be more likely. "The results clearly show that Canadian voters are not impressed by how much money a candidate spends. Can- didates can't `buy an election'," Somerville said. "Voters decide whom to support on the basis of party leaders, issues and the local candidates." "Restrictions on election spending merely serve to violate freedom of speech and association. These restric- tions help incumbents to get re-elected, subsidize mediocri- ty and stifle debate." Somerville says that officials at Elections Canada should take note of this poll before they consider restricting the ability of citizens to independently support or oppose par- ties or candidates during federal elections. The NCC has long opposed any measure to impose elec- toral spending restrictions. In 1984, the NCC successfully challenged the constitutionality of a law which threatened jail terms of up to five years to citizens who independently spent money to support or oppose parties or cardiates dur- ing federal elections. On another question, the Reid poll indicated that 59 per- cent of Canadians agreed that the government would be violating citizens' freedom of speech if it outlawed indepen- dent campaign spending by citizens, while 30% disagreed - a two to one margin. Fifty four percent of the respondents said the government would be violating freedom of speech if it restricted such campaign advertising - a clear majority - while 35% disagreed. In the poll, respondents were asked: "As you may or may not know. many Canadian workers ate required by law to pay dues to unions. Do you think a union should or should not be allowed to use union dues to support a political party which a worker may not personal- ly support,. In reply, an overwhelming 84% of respondents said unions should not use forced union dunes in this way while only 12% said they should - seven to one margin. "Big unions funnel millions of dollars in workers' forced union dues to the NDP but only a small minority of these workers vote NDP," said Somerville. "This is an outrageous violation of their freedoms of cons- cience, speech and association. If unions want to get involv- ed in politicking, let them do so with money voluntarily donated for that purpose," be said. In the poll, respondents were asked what they thought of the following: 'Presently, the three major political parties have part of their election campaign expenses paid back with tax- payers' dollars. " Seventy-one percent of respondents said political parties should finance their election campaign solely through voluntary contributions while only 25% said the present practice should continue. "Donations to political parties are already treated more favourably than donations to the Salvation Army. On top of that, the parties also take our tax dollars to pay for more than one fifth of their campaign expenses. This has got to stop," said Somerville. Bob's Notes _..............................................................; 1988 A Banner Sales Year "Nineteen -eighty-eight was another banner year for the residential real estate market in Toronto," Edward P. Hou, outgoing President of the 23,000 Member Toronto Real Estate Board has announced. "While we fell slightly short of our projected 5o,000 mark, last year's 49,381 MIS residential sales were well ahead of the 43,475 sales recorded in 1987," he said. Honour Sir John A. Macdonald On Jan. 12, 1989, Frank Faubert, M.P.P.

Jan. 25, 1888 Bill Watt's World, AT THE OPERA: There is no middle ground in the appreciation of opera; one either likes/loves it or dislikes !hates it. We are among the former and in consequence are reluctant to be harsh in criticism of operatic per- formances andlor opera productions. we cheerfully accept sometimes silly plots, the occasional deus ex macs ina, the frequent abandonment or Aristotelian unities and the fact that most opera singers can't act worth a damn. Given the foregoing, perhaps readers will sym- pathize as this opera lover comments upon the Cana- dian Opera Company's cur- rent presentation at The O'Keefe of Tosca. We liked it - one always enjoys Puc- cini; rather much in the way of B movies - but must confess irritation over it. It could have been so much better than it was, at least the night we saw it. The title character is not a sympathetic one. Tosca is vain, self centred ( her love for Cavaradossi is fraught with jealousy) and frivolous- She is, however, passionate and capable of engendering a true love in Cavaradossi and lust in the Stefka Evstatieva as Tosca fails to convey any physical magnetism. It's not because she is stout. A woman need not be physically perfect to be at- tractive; the sexiest Lady Macbeth we ever en- countered was Dame Flora Robson and heaven knows she was no beauty. No, Miss Evstatieva's failure lies in her lack of acting ability or in a strong direc- tor to elicit it. She sings beautifully but in listening to her in the role one couldn't help remembering the hoary old joke about the man waking up after his nuptial eve, looking at his unattractive bride and saying "For gawdsake sing!" The direction of Frank Corsaro might be at fault in the performance of Vyacheslav Polosov as Cavaradossi. Mind you we have always found it dif- ficult to accept tenors in heroic roles, always ex- cluding helden tenors, of course, but Mr. Polozov failed to impress us. Why do we suggest fault in direction? Well, after be- ing tortured excrutiatingly off stage he looks none the worse for wear. One of the instruments of torture is an iron ring, with spikes around the inner side, plac- ed around the head and progressively squeezed tighter. The lyrics refer to copious amounts of blood being spilled. Yet. when BEACHES Royal Canadian Legion Branch 42,303 Kingston Rd.

That seems like poor direc- tion to us. On the other hand there is the refined villainy of Tom Fox as Baron Scarpia. This Scarpia, knows he is evil, accepts it and glories in it. Evil and all, his (Mr. Fox's) characterization is probably the only one of the evening capable of em- pathetic reaction. Not quite. One wishes to single out John Avey in the small role of Scianrone. Here is cold, calculated and brutal cruelty. It chills one to watch him but one also thrills at a discovery of a new talent. Watch for more from Mr. Avey. Richard Bradshaw con- ducted beautifully and mention must also be made of the fine lighting of Robert Bosworth and Michael Whitfield, par- ticularly in the final act sunrise. Quite ingenius. We repeat that we en- joyed Tosca and will enjoy it again. We like opera- Let us levy an enjoinder however that if one has never attended an opera before, then this production is not for you. U that statement doesn't make sense to many, it will be to those fortunate ugh to enjoy opera. ON STAGE: The two major theatrical presentations of the year are sure to be Les Miserabies at the Royal Alex and Phantom of the Opera at the newly refur- boisbed Pantages. Concerning the former, we have good news for students. The Mirvish Organisation advises that for each and every perfor- mance there will be available loo tickets at $15 each for students. The special tickets are available in advance - only in advance - and student I.D.s must be presented at time of purchase. Forgive us for reminisc- ing but we have fond memories of Wednesday matinee tickets for Blossom Time at The Alex costing 60t. No fooling. We were in the cast. About the latter we have some out of town telephone numbers for ticket pur- chases. Readers in Ottawa can call 755-1 i i l locally and 1-800.668-6611 toll free. Our good friends and, we hope, regular readers in Quebec City can call 563-1144 local- ly or 1-800-387-4499 toll free. Bon chance. The Canadian Stage FAMILY DINNERS Company has another Canadian premiere coming up. Previews start tonight and the official opening is Jan. 25th for Hunting Cockroaches. It's an off beat political comedy writ- ten, directed, translated and designed by Polish im- migrants, three of whom live in Toronto. Conflicting schedules prevent our presence at the opening but we hope to catch up with it before the run ends Feb. 26th. Cockroaches is being presented at the Free Theatre Upstairs, 26 Berkeley St. We resist the temptation to remark upon cockroaches in the old Con- sumers Gas building. IN PRINT: Have just received a splendid assortment of books from Collins and am in a constant reader's heaven. So far we have resisted the temptation to scan but couldn't resist gravitating toward Pick Of Punch. The New Yorker and Punch re- main our personal favourites among books and we don't intend to deny that it's the cartoons we look at first. Those in Punch are bet- ter because British car- toonists haven't forgotten that the fewer words there are in caption, the funnier should be the picture. There is one cartoon that shows an Aussie painting in the outback. In the background there is a butte. On his canvas there is a can of Foster lying on its side. How about Long Joins Silver lounging outside a carpenter's shop awaiting a new leg. The stump of the shorter � is resting on the parrot. There is, of course, con- siderably more than the humour of the cartoons. The written pieces are jewels of literacy. One par- ticularly enjoyed the piece on Cinema by Dilys Powell, one of our favourites in- cidentally on the fine BBC Radio program My Word beard locally on CJRT Sun- day afternoons. What a pity that Mitkiew icz and crowd can't write like Miss Powell. And what a relief that Pick Of Punch appears on- ly annually. Otherwise one could risk bruised ribs from laughing constantly.

Well, the Spitfires will continue to tour on and for specific occasions elsewhere but when not in residence in the Imperial Room, the house band will still be under the aegis of Mr. Rae and Mickey Erbe. One imagines it'll be rather the way it used to be with the Romanelh orchestras. Whatever, there's going to be great dance music. We knew we were right not to give our dancing pumps to Goodwill. GOOD DEEDS: This weekend might well be called Variety weekend.

The year runs from Apr. 1, 1986, to Mar. 31, 1989. As at Sept. 30th, the development bank had authorized $500.3 million in loans, down 3.4% from the pretrious year's level but still among the highest in the bank's history. According to FBDB President, Guy Lavigueur. this continued demand for loans reflects sustained confidence by the small business community in the buoyancy of the Canadian economy. "These restilts confirm information that we obtain- ed from recent surveys of small and meditan-sized businesses. They've been telling is that more than half intend to make capital investments before next spring and that almost half intend to take on new employees," he said. The FBDB's overall port- faho rose to $2.2 billion from $2 billion at the same time last year. Its total loam outstanding in On- tario amounts to 1586.0 million. Interest in the bank's Management Services has also remained high.

"More and more people are interested in finding out how to start a business or how to run one better, . states Lavigueur. More than 18,000 people signed up for the bank's Business Management Courses offered through community colleges and CEGEP's across the coun- try. This is a 10% hike over last year. Counselling assignments through the Bank' CASE program ( Counselling Assistance to Small Enterprises) rose by 3% to almost 4,500 in the first six months of this fiscal year. In addition, through its Small Business Informa- tion Service or its Business information Centre, the bank responded to 97,500 in- quires, an increase of 13% over last year.

The Inaugural Proc Memorial Lecture Series: Glasnost in Soviet Ukraine is free of charge and open to the public, except for the final concert by Oleh Krysa on Feb. 10. The Series nuts Jan- 28 - Feb. 1, on the York Univer- sity campus at Keele St- and Steeles Ave. Featureevents include invitational lectures on current issues in Ukrainian politics and culture, screenings of previously banned films, an exhibit of non -conformist paintings that organizers expect will be attended by the artist in his fust visit to North America, and a concert featuring artists who until recently were denied per- mission to travel outside the U.S.S.R. Ukrainian artist Feodosii Humeniuk is expected to arrive in Toronto on Jan. 24, the first time he has been allowed to travel to North America. He is scheduled to attend the opening of an exhibit of his paintings on Sun. Jan. 29, at 1 p.m. in the Samuel J. Zacks Gallery of Stong Col- lege on the York campus.

Wildlife In Barbados Exotic birds and wild animals roam freely at the Barbados Wildlife Reserve, a project of the Barbados Primate Research Centre, which is beaded by Jean Baulu, a Canadian primatologist, Mr. Baulu established the reserve in 1965 with seed money from the Canadian International Development Agency. The sanctuary, located on four acres of mahogany forest, allows visitors the unique opportunity to closely observe free rang- ing animals in their natural habitat. The acquisition of wildlife has been done selectively to maintain compatibility of the animals in the forest. Most of the wildlife has been in- troduced to the reserve through a number of sources. Tortoises. hares. muscovey ducks, bantams. peacocks and guinea fowls have been donated through the efforts of many generous Barbadians. Agoutis and opossums are a gift of the Forestry Department in St. Lucia. Swans, otters, wallabies and pythons were acquired from the Ravensden Zoo in England. The caymans came from Guyana. A highlight of the visit is the feeding of the large community of green monkeys. Every day at four o'clock these shy, elusive creatures feast on seasonal fruits, vegetables and specially mixed grains. The latest attraction is a walk in aviary featuring brilliantly coloured macaws, cockatoos, toucans, love birds, parrots and pelicans. In addition to viewing the wildlife, ancient artifacts from sugar cane factories are on display. Of par- ticular note, the winding brick path that leads through the reserve is made of bricks and used in the construction of boiler furnaces.

Old Meets New In Central West Florida Nature's Divinities Nature's creations are plentiful in Florida, and one great place to sample some of her divinities is at Tiki Gardens in Indian Shores. Here, peacocks roam free, nibbling exotic flowers. Built upon a Florida mangrove jungle, its flavour is distinctively South Seas. Boardwalks have been constructed to make the beautiful walk as manageable as it is en- joyable. Following scenic County Road 699 south to St. Petersburg Beach, visitors experience a bit of local flavour at the food em- poria. or browse through choice souvenir shops. The London Wax Museum of- fers an excellent opportuni- ty to view favourite American heroes and villains immortalized in wax. Across the Courtney - Campbell Causeway lies the heart of Tampa.

Quest For (tilture Art enthusiasts indulge their cultural appetites by viewing the world's largest private collection of works by Salvador Dah. This Spanish master's sur- realist pieces are displayed in a permanent museurn in St. Petersburg. A conservative estimate values the collection at ap- proximately $100 million. The exhibit includes 93 oil paintings, 100 watercolours and drawings, 1300 graphics, as well as posters, photos, sculptures and objects d'art. There is also a 25W volume library on Dali and surrealism. Not to be surpassed, Sarasota's cultural oppor- tunities are more abundant than might be expected. Art galleries, community theatres and symphonic events highlight this sophisticated Florida city. A great believer in cultural awareness, John Ringling (of circus fame) introduced the city to art, tapestries and fine stone which he brought from around the world. Eventually, these finds would comprise his dream home, C'ad'zan ( "House of John" in Venetian), situated on 60 acres. The house was willed to the State of Florida, and is part of a complex now known as the Ringling Museums. Also on the estate, the John and Mabel Ringling Museum of Art houses an impressive collection of Baroque Art. Visitors delight in Museum of the Cirrus, a famasyland of memorabilia from the ex- citing and thrill -packed "Greatest Show on Earth". The Asolo Theatre, a reconstructed 18th century Italian theatre. dismantled and brought to this site from Asolo, Italy in 1950, features a host of perform- ing arts throughout the year - Twenty miles south of Sarasota is the town of Venice, the winter home of the Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Gurus. The 500 students of the Ringling Clown College vie for one of only 6o spots with the circus each year. Those hoping to graduate must show proficiency in juggl- ing, unicycling, tumbling and other clown stunts. Florida's Central West region is a veritable shopp- ing centre of attractions. With so much to do here, it's no wander that so many visitors return to this region each year. From the tranquility of its sandy white shores, to the happy go lucky lifestyle at its many amusement centres, the Central West region of sunny Florida is prepared to tickle your every fancy. Wants TTC Replaced By MTT If Scarborough Council has its way the TTC's new slogan would be "Take the MTT - it's the better way". Council passed a motion last week asking the pro- vince to change the name of the TTC. For the Com- mission itself, council sug- gested the name Metropolitan Toronto Transit Commission. For the transit system itself, it has recommended the Metropolitan Toronto Transit (MTT). The motion for the name change was put forth by Councillor Lorenzo Berar- dinetti who argued that the new name would make it clear that all Metro tax- payers and not just residents of Toronto pay taxes to operate the TTC. In 1987, Scarborough tax- payers contributed $18.6 million to help run the system. Berardinetti said the pro- posed name change would cost in the order of $3 million. Councillor Marilyn Mushinski opposed the name change saying it is the first step towards the amalgamation of the six metro municipalities. "We're playing into Metro's hands." she said Mayor Joyce Trimmer said the fust step towards amalgamation and the loss of Scarborough's identity occurred with direct elec- tion to Metro which was Ino- posed by the pr'o'vince- The motion passed 12-3 with on- ly Councillors Marilyn Mushinski, Shirley Eidt and Fred Johnson voting in opposition Valentine Gift From City Hall Couples wishing to be married on Valentine's Day, Tues.

Queen's1111ft* Park Report firom Noah Stoner'" UPP Durham West The Government of Ontario, through the Premier's Cotm- ed on Health Strategy, has set up a $too million Health In- novation Fund to support and evaluate new ways of pro- viding cost effective health services and programs. The Ministry of Health's annual budget of close to $12.7 billion dollars represents about 30 percent of the province's total expetxiitures. The government's task is to ensure the people of Ontario receive a maximum value for each tax dollar spent on health services. The Premier's Council on Health Strategy, established in December 1987, draws together leading representatives of government, the medical and academic communities, labour, business and consumers to develop a long term blueprint for health and health care in this province. As part of its mandate, the 24 member Council, chaired by Premier David Peterson, has been asked to: select health goals for Ontario and establish targets to measure progress; recommend public policy initiatives to improve the health of Ontarians; recommend ways to improve co- ordination and co-operation among health and health related services; identify alternatives to institutional care with emphasis on health promotion and disease prevention; encourage public participation in health planning and policy development; and assist with planning and operation of the Health Innovation Fund. The fund will make money available in four major areas over four years. About one third of the fund will be used to undertake a comprehensive health status survey, sponsor several hospital in the bane pilot projects and encourage further development of community health centres, health service organizations and comprehensive health organiza- tions. The balance of the funding will go toward grants for in- novative pilot Projects conducted by community groups, m- dividuals, health providers and researchers, as well as other projects identified by the Premier's Council on Health Strategy. looking for Proposals that will allow us to test in- omtive approaches to improve the health of Ontarians," Premier Peterson said- Two aidTwo competitions for grants will be held each year. Ap- plication deadlines es for 1989 are March 1st and October 1st. To be considered for grants, projects must meet an im- portant consumer health need, not duplicate enlisting ser- vices and present a new approach. Individuals and groups submitting proposals have to be sponsored by a non profit organization. The fund will not support capital construction of facilities, high technology diagnostic eprptnent or pro je cts funded by another source.
