February 1, 1989 PICKERING 130SI Hospital Kicks Off Campaign The "Healthy Partner- ship" campaign at the Ajax & Pickering General Hospital got off to a great start in 1989 with a live Wmtano show hosted by Faye Dance and Greg Beresford, from the Pickering Recreation Com- plex An over capacity crowd showed their support for the hospital project. Win- tario officials were im- pressed by the large tur- nout and the exciting plants for the hospital's building project. Ontario Health Minister Elinor Caplan reaffirmed the government's commit- ment to the bospital's ex- pansion plans at a meeting with the hospital's Board of Directors at Queen's Park on Jan. 16th. The funds promised in the fall of 1967 - $14.7 million - will unconditional- ly be made available once the fundraising campaign has reached its goal of $7 million. To date the fun- draising campaign has been a great success hav- ing raised $4.024,775. At the meeting Mrs. Caplan expressed excite- ment about the project and said she is very impressed with the support of the community of Pickering and Ajax. The hospital's expansion plans are firmly on schedule and residents of Pickering and Ajax can look forward to an ultra- modern health care facility in the not too distant future. The campaign's next ma- jor focus event is the 50's 60's dance, on Fri. May Sth. with CHUM FM's Roger Ashby, at the Pickering Recreation Com- plex. With the positive sup- port in the past, campaign organizers are sure this event will be an even greater success. Further information on this event will be released soon. Interested In Travel?

This came as quite a sur- prise to Gerrard Gervais, the planning consultant representing the owner. Gervais, defended his client's proposal to build a subdivision of 45 homes. He stated that they had come to the committee meeting prepared to res- pond to the ratepayers' problems, and was not aware that the committee was considering overturn- ing the staff recommenda- tions. Brenner said the residents of the area had three major concerns they wanted addressed. Their primary concern was access to the com- munity. They can only get to Mooreland Cr. by way of Rosebank Rd. and they were concerned that the construction traffic would impede access to their home. Tree preservation was also important to the residents. Many claimed it was one of the reasons why they moved into the area. The final concern they had was in regards to the garbage crisis and the im- pact that another develop- ment would have on an already stressed situation. Councillor Brenner urg- -ed council to support his motion for refusal based on the concerns in the com- munity. Mayor Arthurs, however, contended that by turning down the subdivision ap- plication based on the gar- bage crisis "we run some risk if we use it as a primary critique to not ap- prove an application for a subdivision. If we do this we are moving towards shutting down." Councillor Rick Johnson spoke about his concern with residential access. But Gervais assured coun- cil that the two lots facing Rosebank Rd. would be us- ed to access the construc- tion site. He also added that the ppooss.��bihty did exist to not Duild on the lots when the subdivision was completed and turn them into per. Gervais emphasized as well that an 11 ' , e1've tree perservation study had been conducted to save as many trees as possible. The council committee voted in favour of the sub- division.

Feb. t, 1989 Opinion a page for expression for you and us At Last The Truth This week at a committee of Metro Council the truth came out about the dome stadium. There is no space available for conventions in that building. According to Bill Durand, head of the Metro Convention and Visitors Associa- tion, the American League has it all sewn up. A couple of Metro councillors were upset to hear this because the reasoning given for the dome to be built next to the Metro Convention Centre was to have space for large conventions in town. As the dome stadium nears completion many citizens still wonder how anyone with foresight could have let ex -Premier Bill Davis change the location from Downsview to downtown Toronto. In our opinion the dome stadium will kill almost all of the parking spaces in downtown Toronto and almost all other activities will have to come to a standstill while the Blue Jays play a game. And public transit will be completely in- adequate to handle the massive numbers of keen sports types who have dreamed of going to a lovely dome stadium. Too bad that common sense hadn't put the dome out of downtown Toronto' Still Pro Quebec by Bob Watson Prime Minister Brian Mulroney has announced his new federal cabinet and his bias towards Quebec is evident once again. Quebec members get 13 cabinet posts while Ontario with a much larger population has only 12. And, of course, the Metro Toronto area is once again given little input into the new cabinet. The Prime Minister is ob-. iously biased towards Quebec and he doesn't appear to be concerned about a represen- tative government. After all, a cabinet post has far more in- put than just being a Member of Parliament. We suggest that he take another look at how he establishes the democratic system in his government and allocate cabinet positions in a more representative way. A long time Agincourt son."

Race Relations The Council on Race Relations and Policing acknowledges that recent incidents involving the Metro Police and the black community are causing tensions for everyone. As a Council, we are concerned that previous at- tempts to enhance communications between the Police Force and our visible minority communities may have been affected: however, we expect that the present situation would be shortlived and that this experience will result in improved understanding between the Police Force and the community. At this time, we urge support for the initiatives of the Municipal and Provincial Governments to facilitate a dialogue between the black community, the Police Force and other concerned parties. The Council will assist in ex- amining appropriate measures to foster a better working relationship and understanding between the Police and members of the black community. For several years, the Council on Race Relations and Policing has been working on programs and strategies to improve race relations and policing in Metro Toronto. Us- ing a partnershit building process with government institu- tions, agencies, the Metropolitan Toronto Police Force and individuals from the community, we have been identifying police race relations issues and developing joint problem - solving techniques on an ongoing basis. In view of the mandate of the recently appointed Task Force on Race Relations and Policing, the Council will assist any group, individual or organization in the prepara- tion of oral or written submissions.

In a world filled with pain and suffering, it is far too easy to overlook an individual tragedy within our midst unless it is accompanied with murder or mayhem. On Dec. 27th, after less than three weeks of illness, a young lady by the name of Natalie Munn passed away in Brampton. The sudden and unexpected manner in which she succumbed to leukemia only served to heighten the tragedy of her loss. At the age of only 24, in addition to the demands of a dou- ble degree program at York University, she was a tireless coach and 'second mother' to almost 100 young skaters in the Brampton and Georgetown area. Natalie was an in- tensely positive influence in those 100 lives and in the lives of everyone else she met. Looking about the church during her funeral service, it was remarkable just how many peo- ple she had touched dining her too short life. Her lite, and her passing. are worthy of note for she led an exemplary life and, by example, taught the importance of kindness, compassion. dedication and love. No words can assuage the sense of loss all her family and friends fed, but Natalie has left us all With positive and hap- py memories of times shared together and the resolve to keep her memory alive by trying to live our lives with the same respect and love for all people which was the stan- dard Natalie had set for herself. We may never understand the tragedy of Natalie Mum's death, but we will always live with the gratefurhum that our lives were brightened and blessed by knowing her and with the hope we'll meet again, someday. Her loving friend, Steve Gilchrist Bob's Notes White Cane Week Feb. 5th -11th People who are blind or have very little sight are at a serious disadvantage because W% of our daily information is received through our sense of sight.

Electricity Use In November More than 11.4 million megawatt hours of electricity were used by Ontario Hydro customers in November, 3.4 percent more than in November of 1987. The highest level of elec- tricity demand last month (the point of time when the most power is being consumed) occurred on November 29. At 5:30 p.m. that day, demand ruched a peak of 19,982 megawatts. This peak was just one percent more than the highest peak reached in November, 1987, reflecting warmer November weather this year. $238 ,522 Grant For Spanish Speaking Peoples Toronto's Spanish speaking community will enjoy ex- panded programming and improved services in a new facility purchased and renovated with the help of a $238,522 grant, the Hon.

Vote Against Sunday Shopping Ontario Progressive Conservative Party Leader Andy Brandt is urging all Liberal M.P.P.s to honour their respon- sibilities as elected representatives by following the wishes of their constituents when they vote on the government's proposed Sunday shopping legislation. Brandt is sending letters to each of the Liberal members, reminding them of the various organizations and in- dividuals in their ridings who are opposed to the govern- ment's proposed legislation. This action comes following the Premier's commitment last week in the Ontario Legislature to allow a free vote on the issue. "Municipalities, businesses, chambers of commerce, churches, labour groups and individuals have all expressed their opposition to the Liberal government's Sunday shopp- ing legislation," Brandt says. "It's imperative that govern- ment M.P.P.s listen to their constituents and vote accor- dingly." He stresses that everyone in the province who is commit- ted to a common day of pause stili has time to write their M.P.P. and express his or her view. "It's not too late to stop the Liberals from passing legislation that many Ontarians don't want," Brandt says.

FAMILY DINNERS Around and About Your Dining &Entertainment Guide She fears that its effects are diminishing and must find the formula to ensure her immortality and, one suspects, her continuing immorality. Inevitably she makes the age old discovery that it is death and death alone that gives life its meaning and she is reconciled to it. A good play; perhaps an excellent one. So why was it felt necessary to tart it up with the music and other ministrations of Leos Janacek? One concedes that some good plays can survive the addition of music. Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew and Shaw's Pygmalion come im- mediately to mind. The former became Kiss Me Kate: the latter, My Fair Lady. Both were hugely successful but one had music by Cole Porter, the other by Frederick Loewe. Songs from each are easily recognizable. There is, however, nothing of melodic substance in Janacek's score, no arias to stir the emotions and precious lit- tle if anything in the way of music to match the nar- rative. In truth. the score is simply an intrusion. So what have we then? We repeat that The Makropulos Case is a good play - taken as such; sump- tuously mounted and featuring some fine voices that come perilously close to being wasted in the operatic version. As the diva, Stephanie Sundine is suitably im- perious and passionate and her soprano voice broad- casts much power. Reliable Cornelis Opthof s finely controlled baritone is suitably ominous for his role as the man who first begins to suspect the secret of the diva and tenor Graham Clark as a silly ass playboy Might almost be Willi Frisch of pre WWII motion pictures. Kathleen Brett im- presses with her sweet soprano voice as the in- genue and a separate kudo must be extended to young Gabrielle Prata in her small role as maid to the leading lady. She sings with authority and plays her role with understated competence. Indeed, all of the per- formers are good and some are excellent; rarely have we heard the difficult Czechoslovakian language served so well in music. Berislav Klobucar con- ducts well but it's rather much a case of trying to make a musical silk purse out of a worthless sow's ear. The Makropulos Case is worth - well worth - one's custom but as a play, not an opera. Or, at least, not an opera with music by Janacek. CLASSICAL CABARET: The cut line should say it all: C.C. begins its '89 Season this Sunday at 3 p.m. in the George Ignatief Theatre with a cabaret under the sponsorship of Wilson-Niblett Motors. Stars are Darcy Dunlop (we fell in love with her when she appeared in Noel and Gertie at Theatre in the Dell). Denis Simpson and Margaret Pacsu. As always it will be a delightful afternoon of sophisticated - in the truest sense - entertainment. En- jov. ON YOUR TOES: The National Ballet of Canada presents its winter season at the O'Keefe star- ting a week from tonight with Romeo and Juliet. The presentation is tinged with sadness since it will mark the last performance of Veronica Tennant. Still, life and the arts must go on and we have pleasure in announcing the other works to be presented. There will be the premiere of Glen Tetley's Daphnis and Chloe, the popular Four Temperaments, premieres of Steptext and the Diana and Acteon pas de deux, Sir Kenneth Macmillan's Con- certo and Etudes by Harold Lander. There is little doubt that it will be another in- teresting season but a bare recital of the attractions cannot possibly suffice to give the reader a full measure of appreciation of this excellent company that we have in our city. You must see them! ON YOUR WHEELS: Opening this Friday and continuing through Sunday it's Motorcycle '89 at the Automotive Building, Ex- hibition Place. This is an opportunity to view the latest motorcycles and mopeds as well as some good entertainment. This writer dislikes motorcycles and their phallic symbolism for pseudo jocks but then who are we to turn a jaundiced eye to the attraction they obviously have for so many? Come to think of it, we never have discarded those Navy wellingtons.

Pressed on the Prestige label and released in Canada through A. & M. it's Benny Carter 1933. These are selections remasteced for stereo from the mono originals.

He took his music seriously yet his orchestra, like most of the swing bands, produced a happy sound. Of course, it was intended for dancing but can be enjoyed just as much as listening music.

All the ar- rangements are by Benny Carter except that on Six Bells Stampede on which you'll hear the 1932 ar- rangement of Spike Hughes' British band. Great stuff! On a couple of the cuts you'll hear Benny Carter sing and unless you've read the liner notes could think it's early Bing Crosby who did make many recordings with swing bands before he became a soloist per- former. It is, however, Benny Carter that you hear singing. There is no question that many of today's rock per- formers are skilled and, in many instances, disciplin- ed musicians but their music seems without form and little substance. Also, it sounds angry and rebellious. The musicians of the Carter era probably had good reason to be angry but they also recognized the need to make a living. So these skilled musicians sat down and played happy music, and we're grateful they did. Sorry for our tangent off into polemic. What we should be doing is urging all to listen to this album and find out or recall the true glories of swing music and particularly its practi- tioners such as Benny Carter.

Queen's Park Report from Norah Stoner MPP Durham West The Ontario Automobile Insurance Board is expected to hand down its decision shortly on the ranges of rates for private passenger automobile insurance for 1969. Last August, the Board began a four-part hearing to determine a uniform classification system for auto in- surance, to ensure that all motorists are rated on the same terms by insurers, and to set rates or ranges of rates that are 'just and reasonable, and not excessive or inadequate'. The Board has held public hearings and, so far, has rendered decisions on the classification plan, rate making Report from Ottawa from Rend Soetens MP Ontario Riding Immigration to Canada is the single issue that creates more work and phone calls than any other issue to date, in my term in Ontario Riding. Of course, nationally, it has received a considerable amount of attention because of the supposed refugees streaming into this country. However, in Ontario Riding the activity is created by those trying to im- migrate legally. Barbara McDougall, the Minister of Employment and Immigration has announced Canada's intentions for im- migration in 1989. We have established a level of nearly 160,000 immigrants to be admitted this year which is up about 25,000 from 1988. Immigrants are categorized and the number admitted is as follows with the 1988 numbers in brackets. Family Reunification 57,000 (50,000), Gov't Assisted refugees 13,000 (13,000), Privately Sponsored Refugees 10,000 (6,000), Other refugees 7,000 (2,000). Humanitarian 6,000 (6,000), Selected Skilled Workers & Families 52,000 (43,000), Business 13,000 (13,000), Retirees 2.000 (2,000). Immigration, by its very nature, is a very slow process which is not helped any by the shear volume of applicants. Since most of the work is done in the Immigration Office in the foreign country, communication becomes more dif- ficult. And finally, a proper security clearance is required and it alone takes 6 months or so. What doesn't help the preceding is the number of line jumpers who were landing here and claiming they were refugees. Of the 85,000 currency in the system, 34.000 arriv- ed in the last six months with another 10,600 in the previous six months. Obviously this influx impacts on the Immigra- tion office's ability to deal with those who want to im- migrate to Canada legally. The minister, in announcing the government's plan to deal with the refugee claimant, made it clear, No General Amnesty Will Be Allowed. The government has allocated $100 million to deal with the refugee backlog. We have etabiished a panel which will determine which cases have a credible basis for a refugee claim. Those determined to be credible will be processed for admission if they meet the health and criminality re- quirements. Those whose claims are judged not to be credible, will face removal from Canada. They can leave voluntarily or be escorted ott, whichever they choose. The backlog could take up to two years to be dealt with In the meantime, the claimant will be allowed to work, which was not the case in the past. This should remove many from the welfare rolls as they will be allowed to support themselves. Finally, the new Immigration Bill is row in force and the flood of supposed Refugees has dropped dramatically. This suggests that many who arrived here the weeks and months before the Bill came into force aren't Refugees either. methodology and industry profitability. As required by law, the Board has adopted a classifica- tion plan that eliminates age, sex, marital status, handicap and family status as criteria in the establishment of rates. As a result, the driving record of a driver will be more significant in determining premiums to be charged by in- surance companies. The Board. in its rate making methodology hearing, in- dicated a preference for ranges of rates rather than fixed rates in order to stimulate competition among the in- surance companies, thereby permitting consumers a freedom of choice. In its hearings on industry profitability, the Board decid- ed that, in setting rates, there needs to be a recognition of all casts of the insurance product, including the cost of capital. The board decided to use 125 percent return on equity as a factor in determining rates. This is not a guarantee hurt, rather, an opportunity for insurers to earn a fair return, depending on company performance and marketplace pressure. The board's decision on industry profitability identified the rapidly rising costs of claims as the single most impor- tant factor contributing to the increases in premiums. Ap- proximately eighty cents of every premium dollar is paid out to settle claims. The final part of the board's hearing, that of rate setting, began December 12th and wrapped up January 13th. At this hearing the board considered evidence with respect to rates from a variety of sources including a rate proposal prepared by William M. Mercer Ltd., an indepen- dent actuarial consulting firm, using the board's Class Plan and the board's rate making methodology, and data obtain- ed from industry sources. That report has been the subject of intense scrutiny in every open public hearings by members of the public and the Consumers Association of Canada, as well as other interested parties. The board's decision on private passenger automobile ranges of rates for this year is expected to be announced by the end of the month. Since April of 1987 when the Government capped auto in- surance rates only two increases have been allowed, each to a maximum 4.5 percent.
