My name is Lloyd Thomas, I am a director of COP, which stands for the Coalition of Picker- ing. Our group consists of representation from 23 resident associations throughout Pickering, that accounts for representation of over 90% of the Pickering residents, a total of over 50,000 people. We formed originally to give Pickering a strong voice against the reopening of the Beare Landfill site and the opening of a new landfill site in the Rouge Valley. We stood with Save The Rouge, PACT, Scarborough Coalition and the Hillside Community Association and opposed Metro. Prior to that the people of Pickering fought against the reopening of Brock South and against an extension to Brock West. Fighting bad decisions is not new to the people of Pickering. In the 1970s we amassed 10,000 people to fight the proposed airport and here we are again, only now we have more peo- ple, more experience but just as much determination. The Coalition of Pickering is standing behind their Mayor and the Council of Pickering, in opposition to any airport in North Pickering. Pickering already faces severe transportation problems we are slowly grinding to a halt. Our subdivisions are clogg- ed with cars trying to get out, traffic is backed up in our hamlets, Highway No.2 and the 401 almost become a park- ing lot in rush boor. The condition of the roads continue to deteriorate but yet housing development continues to bring more people into Pickering. In 1975 one of the main reasons the airport was stopped r�� SAVE UP TO 40% ON NEXT MONTHS / PHONE BILL!

The Ministry forming. had approved building the Liberals About An Airport was because of the inadequacy of the roads. Fifteen years later nothing has changed, it has only gotten worse. Traffic going to an airport in North Pickering would have to go through either Pickering or Markham, both areas are too heavily congested- In the future we have the town of Seaton to look forward to, a community of 90,000 people, traffic will become a chaotic rughtnnam. Nor have the services kept up with Pickering's growth Cherrywood, a 100 year old hamlet, just above Finch, is fighting for water, their wells are polluted with frescoes and methane gas. Their promise of water for this summer has just been put back to 1992 by Durham's Regional Coun- cil. To move water even further north to an airport site is literally a pipedream. Pickering's strength comes from the fact that it is a blend of both rural and city life. Each compliments the other, the city people need a place to get away to and the rural people need a place to shop and for recreation. Pickering council has worked long and hard at developing a rural policy, an airport would destroy rural Pickering and destroy that uni- que Mend of life we have in Pickering. It is ludicrous to even try and conceive of an airport in North Pickering, the cost of roads and services would be astronomical. The people of Pickering have had enough. Pickering is not a viable solution. The Coalition of Picker- ing will stand strong with the mayor and our people, whom we represent, we will not support any type of airport in Pickering.

Canadianism Is No.1 Multiculturalism Is Second - MARTINO CHAPEL Giffen-Mack Funeral Holme 4115 Lawrence Ave. E 281.6800 2 THE: NEWS POST Wed. June 21, 1939 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Here And There Where Are They? It's funnv but in all the rush hours of downtown Toronto where vans and delivery trucks park to unload their goods in areas marked "No Stopping" and where taxis stop to unload their passengers there is never a police officer pre- sent to fine such offenders. In fact, on Dundas St. E. near Logan Ave. a truck trailer was parked for quite a few days in a "No Parking" zone. And we wonder why the homeward flow of traffic gets tight? Against Money For Politics A poll recently taken reveals that 7 out of 10 Canadians are against the use of union dues for anything other than collective bargaining. A man in Northern Ontario has been attempting for years to get the courts to rule that his union dues not go to the new Democratic Party and he is slowly getting the right answers. Surely the h'DP can raise its own campaign money - just like the other political parties. Those Bikes With the weather getting nicer the number of bicycles us- ing the streets is becoming a problem to motorists who worry about how close they are to the human being on the bike with some of our lanes of traffic narrower than others. And those cyclists are still riding their bikes in crosswalks and expecting motorists to treat them like pedestrians instead of motorists. We have yet to see a police officer giving a ticket to a cyclist wfio rides on the sidewalk which is for pedestrians and not cyclists. Surely for the safety of everyone, including cyclists and pedestrians. the rules of the road should be applied to those cyclists who insist on violating the rules of the road. Ban Apt. Incinerators A province -wide ban on the use of apartment building in- cinerators went into effect at midnight on May 31st. There are about 1,300 apartment buildings in Ontario using in- cinerators for garbage disposal, half of them in Metro Toronto. Incinerator owners and operators are responsible for the costs of converting from incineration to garbage compac- tion or bulk storage• and pick up by private hatilers. Apartment building incinerators are considered a health concern because of the wide range of pollutants contained in their emissions. Smoke, odors, flyash and soiled proper} are also concerns. Few apartment incinerators have been built in Ontario since the mid-1960s. consequently most are outdated and inefficient. Ministry testing of 11 apartment incinerators in 1986 found that emissions of total hydrocarbons exceeded En- vironmental Protection Act standards in every case. Based on previous testing at municipal garbage incinerators, the ministry believes that dioxins and furans were present in these emissions. Combustion efficiency was also determin- ed to be unacceptable. The nurustry has received an average of 50 complaints a year from Metro Toronto residents concerned about the operation of specific apartment incinerators. In April. incinerators at two apartment buildings on Gamble Ave. in East York were shut down after building modifications were completed and a compacter was install- ed. These incinerators had been the object of smoke and odors complaints from nearby residents during the past several years. It is estimated that apartment incinerators burned 122.000 tonnes of garbage a year, 1.5 percent of the total an- nual volume of garbage in the province. Some 54.000 tonnes were from Metro Toronto, equal to six days of disposal at :Metro's landfills. Community Compensation ontano Hydro paid more than $56 million to 600 Ontario municipalities and taxing authorities in 1988. Payments were made in lieu of taxes to municipalities and other authorities where Hydro -owned property and buildings are located. The utility also paid $2.6 million in community impact payments associated with the Bruce and Darlington nuclear generating station sites. These payments are part of agreements made with surrounding communities to cushion the additional demand placed on municipal ser- vices by the projects. In addition to these payments, $95 million went toward the cost of using Ontario's water for hydro -electric genera- tion. Most of this went to the Ontario government. -I news osf Published every Wednesday by Watson Publishing Company Limited. Est. 1950 Postal Address: Box 111, Agincourt, Ont.

In addition travelling displays will be designed for use at various area public and high schools. Wage Settlements Federal Labour Minister Jean Corbeil has released figures showing that wage increases resulting from major collective bargaining settlements reached in the first quarter of 1989 averaged 4.3 percent. This is the same as the average increase recorded for all 1988 settlements. Expanded Special Public Transit Ontario Transportation Minister Ed Fulton has announc- ed an expansion to the eligibility requirements for using special public transit services. "We have expanded the eligibility requirements to 'in- clude elude persons who are unable to walk 175 metres, the average distance to public transit stops," said Fulton. "Of course, the service will continue to be available to those who are unable to board conventional transit." The ministry has recently been allotted an additional $5.2 million towards its initiatives to improve transportation for persons with disabilities. $332.952 For Disadvantaged Employment and Immigration Minister Barbara Mac- Dougall has announced funding of $332,952 under the Cana- dian Jobs Strategy to provide job training and develop life skills for 36 severely employment disadvantaged persons. The program is designed for learning disabled and the developmentally disabled to operate a commercial food service in order to prepare the participants for permanent employment.

Scarborough Centre. has called on the Chinese government to stop the brutal suppression of its people and start re-buulding the progress it once made. Browes participated in an emergency debate on the situa- tion in China in the House of Commons last week. She joined External Affairs Minister Joe Clark in condemning the senseless killing of students by the Chinese Army. "China once offered a bold example to the Communist World by moving away from totalitarianism and responding to the will of its people. In two bloody days that progress has been crushed," she said. Pauline Browes added: "To the thousands of Chinese Canadians living in Scarborough, I express my condolences to your fellow countrymen and my sincere hope that peace and freedom will one day prevail throughout China."

Each winter. the stations' reservoirs are lowered to a minimum level. ')ben, during snow melting and spring rains, as much water as possible is collected and used to produce electricity. The stations and dams are operated carefully during this time to avoid flooding and honour agreements with other users of the rivers. The province's hydro -electric stations produce 25 percent of Ontario's electricity.

Speed Up 401 Widening Pickering To Scarborough by Gay Abbate The provincial govern- ment has announced it will spend an extra $15 million to speed up the widening of part of Highway 401 through Scarborough and Pickering. The additional funds br- ing to $80 million the cost of adding six additional lanes Biggest Scarborough General Hospital has received its largest gift ever from a private or corporate donor. In the memory of its late chairman and founder, Ar- thur G. Simpson, the A.G. Simpson Co. Limited presented a cheque for $100,000 at a special event on Mon. June 19th, at the A.G. Simpson's Corporate to the 401 between Neilson Rd. and Brock Rd. The con- struction is now expected to be completed by 1997, three years ahead of schedule. The announcement is welcome news to com- muters who face the bot- tleneck between Neilson and Brock every day as 12 lanes of traffic suddenly become six. The 401 is only one of two exits for motorists heading to downtown Toronto from Pickering. The other is the equally congested Highway 2. The widening is part of a massive $690 million highway construction plan Gift To Hospital Head Office, 675 Progress Ave. Scarborough. Ben Virgilio, President of A.G. Simpson Co. Ltd. ex- pressed his board's wishes when he said, "The late Art Simpson had a deep affec- tion for all of his employees. The board felt that the late Mr. Simpson would have supported the upgrading of equipment and services for the Emergency Department at Scarborough General Hospital. It's important for the welfare of our Scar- borough Community and our employees who work in Scarborough to have the best possible emergency services when and if they are ever needed!"

Without council's sup- port the province will not consider the applications. The $297,242 being sought by the six groups would be used to expand or enhance existing programs which help families and in- dividuals find affordable housing. The six groups are the Community Liaison Ser- vices, Homeward Family Shelter. Second Base Youth Shelter, Scarborough Hous- ing Assistance and Place- ment Education for Singles, West Scarborough Neighbouutwod Communi- ty Centre and the YMCA Youth Employment Ser- vices. Monday's meeting was the second time council has refused to support the groups. The fust time it was because the groins &%iced the city to fund 20% of the total. But on Monday, the groups withdrew their request for funding. Coun- cil, however, refused to reopen the issue. Only two councillors supported the reopening - Councillors Marilyn Mushinski and Paul Mushinski. Ashton said he will now Criticizes Ottawa Over China by Gay Abbate Scarborough MP Jim Karygiannis has criticized the federal government for failing Chinese studying in Canada during the crisis in China following the Beijing massacre. "The federal govern- ment has mismanaged . . its responsibilities to the Canadian Chinese com- munity and has left the community in the dark as to what its plans are for • dealing ywiithhttnhe crisis," the Scarborough Agincourt MP told a press conference last week. Chinese students have echoed his criticism. Ex- ternal Affairs Minister Joe Clark has indicated that Ot- tawa will extend visas and give work permits so none of the 4,500 students in Canada will have to return to China if they do not want to. However, the students say the government has yet AMCU AMCU CREDIT UNION INC.

"We're confus- ed. No one is telling us anything." said one stu- dent. The students are reluc- tant to let their names be used because they are afraid the Chinese govern- ment will take it out on their families. Some students told Karygiannis last we that their families in Gina are under house arrest after they sent them pictures showing them demonstrating in Canada. More than 600 people from across Metro and as far away as Manitoba and Kingston turned to Karygiannis for help last week during four informa- tion gathering sessions held at the Scarborough Chinese Baptist Church on Birchrnount Rd. at Hun- fingwood Dr. What was supposed to be a one day event became four because of the large demand. Most of them wanted work permits, visas extended or help with getting relatives out of China. Karygiannis, who has some 20,000 Chinese in his riding, said he will turn the information over to exter- nal affairs and hopes to have answers for the peo- ple within two weeks. He has asked the federal government to put inter- preters on its crisis hotline, to allow students to work while they study so they can pay their own way and to set up special informa- tion centres in major cities across the country to help students.

June 21, 1968 Bill Watt's Worlds HIGH NOTES: The enduring popularity of and indeed, love of Puc- cini's la Boheme is solely due to its music. The state- ment is not as simplistic as it might appear upon first reading. The ideal opera is an ar- tistic amalgam of fine music, good story line, em- pathetic characterizations and perhaps fine costumes and sets. That is the ideal opera and La Boheme falls short of that measure on several counts. Its greatest shortcoming lies with the two principals. Rodofo is a wimp and his love, Muni a simpering op- portunist without the honesty of Musetta, a self acknowledged grisette. Rodolfo's friend Marcello is a rogue but an admitted one and his other mates Colline and Schaunard have each a strength of character far superior to that of the hapless Rodolfo and Mimi. Yet, the opera endures and is enjoyed as much on repeated viewings as on one's first exposure to it and the reason is the glorious music that raises gooseflesh on the arms and a lump in the throat. In the final scene of the current production by the Canadian Opera Company at The O'Keefe much weep- ing was heard in the au- dience. (As a man, ours was of the silent variety.) As Rodolfo, his character notwithstanding, John Fowler was most winning. His tenor is pure and sweet and almost holds its own with the bass and baritones of his companions. In duet with soprano Muni, he is just a little short of superb. Baritone Theodore Baerg is a robust Marcello and his scenes with the mezzo soprano Musetta played by KALLYT 293E Egknlon Ave E .

Allow us a slight digression as we once again comment upon what we perceive as a relative dearth of roles, major roles for mezzos. The late Gladys Swar- thout would surely have been enshrined as one of the immortals had there been more roles suitable for her. We were quite taken by Miss Maguire and make so bold as to state that the mantle of Miss Swarthout need not be too far in her future. Bass David Pittsinger was impressive as Collin and we continue to enjoy the work of young baritone Patrick Timney. As Schaunard he brought a strength to the part unlike any we have seen or heard before. Well done Mr. Tininey- The central role, right or wrong is that of Mimi and in it we have discovered what we believe to be a star of first magnitude in the person of Ruth Golden. This is Miss Golden's fust appearance with the C.O. C. and our fervent wish is that she will return many times. Her voice is quite simply enchanting to the most literal of senses. It is high, it is sweet, it is charged with the emotion that is demanded of the character. We are not, we hope, guilty of frivolity in telling that capon driving home in the rain we found ourself humming Chevalier's "Mimi, you funny little good for nothing Mimi ..." The orchestra was super- charged under the duec- tion of Brno Rigacci. Our only complaint is that on occasion it seemed to us the singers had to fight it but that might have been a fault of the sound mix. Christopher Mattaliano directed with precision and it was ping to see that he is not apparently subject to difficulty with The O'Keefe's upper centre stage as was sometimes the case with Loth Man- souri. LB Boheme is proof again that music is the queen of the arts and one should VIM ke every effort to enjoy this production. Ticket sales, as always, are brisk but we understand seats are available for some per- formances.

We wee at the McLaughlin Planetarium for the world premiere of Gordon Peter- son's latest production. The setting could hardly have been better. Now it's really not for us to comment on its musical value -we're still trying to evaluate Little Anthony and the Impenals-but we can be decisive in assess- ing its impact which is quite simply -simply!- dynamic. Unquestionably the visuals gave added attrac- tion but even without thanes the is a power to this music that we find in- describable. Oh, the gut busting bass response is there but as only one part of the over all expenence.

There is no quesion that Symphony of Fire is to be held but given the present situation in China one is well advised to keep wat- ching the daily media outlets for a possible withdrawal of the Uuyang.

You wouildn't go out on the roads without learning to drive fust! But every year thousands of recreational boaters take to the water- ways without the basics of boating. The law requires that one approved lifejacket or P.F.D. be carried on board your boat. But remember a lifejacket/P.F.D. can't save your life unless you wear it. Required equipment for a small boat (5.5m in length) is: one approved lifejacket or P.F.D. per person; two paddles or oars with oar locks; a bailer or pump; a sound signal device ( whistle horn) ; a class B-1 fine ex- tinguisher - if the boat has an inboard motor.

The man who established the Koreshan Unity, la�8 his followers toa Jerusalem" in the 1890s was Dr. Cyrus Read Teed. Teed had been inspired by a vision, or "Great 11- lumination" as he called it, which instructed him to change his name to Koresh, meaning Gyrus in Hebrew. The city he and his followers envisioned, covering 100 miles with 30 foot wide streets and home for 10 million people, never quite materialized. At the peak of its popularity, the settlement here had 350 residents. Of the original 30 buildings, eight remain, in- cluding an open-air theatre and Teed's Mme.

Metro Toronto Board of Trade Executive Summary Board of Trade, Premier's Council Debate Approaches to Improving Ontario's Industrial Competitiveness As the only business group in Ontario to issue a substantial diallenge to the report of the Premier's Council "Competing in the New Global Economy", the Board of Trade on Apr. 24 hosted a dinner meeting for nine members of the Premier's Council, in- cluding Industry, Trade and Technology Minister Monte Kwinter and Col- leges and Universities Minister Lyn McLeod. The Premier's Council, established in 1966, is a multipartite body of business, government, labour and academic leaders whose mandate is to `steer out into the forefront of economic leadership and technological innovations". The board's submission in response to the Premier's Council was released in January 1989 ( "Response to the Premier's Council Report. Competing in the New Global Economy", Jan. 25, 1989). The meeting, while por- trayed as an -ideological shootout" in The Toronto Star, was more of anex- of support bythe board for what the Premier's Council had to say on training, education, worker adjustment and re- focusing of costing incen- tives. However, the board ex- pressed opposition to some of the council's more in- terventionist reconuneida- tions, which would entail government involvement in picking industrial "win- ners" and favouring them with special incentives specifically targeted at selected categories of in- dustries. The board expressed favour for a more market- oriented framework for in- dustrial policy in Ontario, as is embodied in the Canada -U.S. Free Trade Agreement and lower levels of taxation for all business enterprises. The board nonetheless express- ed support for the process that the Premier's Council has initiated, and apprecia- tion for the government's having made com- petitiveness a central theme in its governing mandate. Comments Regarding Biu 149, An Act to Amend the Trespass to Property Act Bill 149 proposes amend- ments to the Ontario Trespass to Property Act that will restrict the rights of owners/occupiers of "premises used by the public" to protect their pro- perbes and make them safe and secure for the public. Under the Bill, the onus is placed on the occupier to prove that a request to leave the premises is not based on discrimination and, even if the occupier perceives that he has done so, the Bill allows the user to easily challenge the oc- cupier's reasons and regain entry. The board feels that the Bill leaves open the poten- tial for abuse and strongly urges that it be withdrawn. The Future of the Port of Toronto, and the Role, Mandate and Development Plans of the Toronto Har- bour Commission In its submission dealing with the future of the Port of Toronto and the role, mandate and development plans of the Toronto Har- bour Commission (THC), the board addresses three vital areas. F9nst, the board restates its position that the Port re- main an important economic facility and that it be expanded. Secondly, the board urges the struc- ture of the THC Board be changed to reflect the board's regional nature and the situation prevalent at other harbour commis- sions. Finally, the board believes there needs to be a leadership role on the waterfront performed by an a istiag agency. Comments in Support of the Retention of the East .Metro Transportation Cor- ridor (EMT0 in the Of- ficial Plan of Metro Terow to The board, in a letter to Metro's Economic Development and Planning Committee, strongly sup- ports Pports the retention of the East Metro Transportation Corridor (EMTC) in the Of- ficial Plan of Metro Toron- to. The EMTC, which is to join Highways 401 and 40'7 in Scarborough, is an im- portant link in the overall transportation plans of the Greater Toronto Area.

Roberts Tops In Chess Lawrence Roberts of Oshawa demolished incum- bent Champion Peter Ja- sionowski of Scarborough by a 10-4 margin in the final match of the 5 -Minute Blitz -Chess Championship of the West Hill Chess Club. Like Jasionowski, the largge burly Oshawa resi- den�t has partici ted in the W.H.C.C. s 5 -Minute Blitz - Chess program for several seasons. This season, he was clearly the dominant player on the Blitz circuit, participating in most of the tournaments offered and winning most of those. By contrast. Jasionowski was able to play in only 3 of the Blitz tourneys prior to the Championship Elimina- tion match -tournament given other commitments. Jasionowski was therefore somewhat rusty and unable to offer much resistance to the Oshawa player. Roberts will have his name engraved on the per- manent _plaque of the WHCC 5-Miinute Blitz Chess Championship as well as receive a chessbook prize for his efforts at the club's awards ceremony on June 9. Jasionowski will receive a chessbook prize for finishing as runner-up.
