Four students, the normal staff size, divide two daily shifts, and operate from the campsite's gatehouse. Besides the sanitary maintenance of the camp- site and the issue of per- mits to campers, these students supply ice and firewood to campers and exhange Canadian money for American visitors. Their duties also include the sale of maple syrup. lawn maintenance, helping campers, and showing weekly movies on Saturday evenings - Approximately 50% of the annual visitors to the campsite are from Ontario, another 14% are from Quebec. and an additional 14% are from elsewhere in Canada. Sixteen percent of the visitors are from the United States and six per- cent coax from abroad. At the east end of the campsite, the Devil's Den lookout allows a broad view of a deep creek valley flanked by forested slopes - This valley is believed to have been a hideout for horse thieves at the turn of the century: the local population of the era � circa 1900, called it De%il's Den because they attributed the nocturnal mutterings of men to horses. to the Devil holding court. The gatehouse staff ex- plains these features and provides information to the campers on other local tourist attractions.

Answer: America's first manned space station was launched into orbit on May 14. 1973. Its name was Skylab and its mission was to prove humans could live and work in space for ex- tended periods and to expand man's knowledge of a§tronomy. 'Problems occurred during liftoff as vibrations tore off a meteroid shield, Miich took one of the solar panels with it and prevented others from deploying properly. So, the first task of Skylab I's crew. Charles Conrad Jr., Paul Weitz, and Joseph Kerwin, was to repair the damage and devise a makeshift sunshade. Over the next nine months two other crews rocketed to the workshop. The three crews spent 171 days aboard Skylab and conducted numerous experiments involving adaptability of humans to microgravity to observing the sun. Skylab circled the earth for more than six years before entering the atmosphere on July 11, 1979 and disintegrating over the Indian Ocean. �'\ SAVE UP TO 40% ON NEXT MONTHS Ilk,/ PHONE BILL!

Aug. 9-1,1989 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Heritage Stupidity by Bob Watson The latest word on the heritage languages program in On- tario schools shows how utterly stupid and wasteful our pro- vincial politicians can be! It seems that besides forcing all school boards to initiate heritage language programs in schools where the parents of 25 or more children want a language there are some more little rules to make this program more ridiculous and wasteful. It seems that the latest rules say that once a class is scheduled for the 25 students if only 10 qualified children at- tend the first class the class must be continued for the balance of the year as along as one child continues to at- tend! It appears that the provincial authorities are worried that the small languages might have trouble getting started and so we all must pay high education taxes - towards which in Metro Toronto the provincial government no longer gives any money - to help one child learn the language of his or her parents. Why can't the parents teach the child at home? We think it is high time that property taxpayers rise up in anger and attack the members of our provincial legislature for this wasteful program which should never be in ex- istence. We have no problem with minority rights - pro- viding their rights do not overwhelm the majority of us who are five generation Canadian and having to contribute to this new addition to education. We believe it would be better money spent to improve the quality of education for each child, regardless of his or her ethnic background. Let's have equality for all - just for a change An Opposition View by, Brandt MPP umw of the OntMo progreaslw con Wvattwe With the Ontario legislature now in recess, I'd like to take time to reflect on this past sitting at Queen's Park and assess the actions of the government of David Peterson. Perhaps what Ontarians will remember most about this past sitting are the scandals which plagued the Peterson government. It began with charges of mismanagement at the Ontario Human Rights Commission, continued with allegations of conflict of interest over the now former Solicitor General Joan Smith and ended with the so-called Patti Starr scandal. In short, it was not a good sitting for the ruling Liberal government. And although many people would think otherwise. it was not a sitting the opposition enjoyed either. Political scan- dals and corruption hurt all politicians, no matter what stripe. for they lower the public's confidence in their elected representatives. And that, my friends, is bad for Ontario. As an opposition member, it is my job to criticize - and to suggest %-table alternatives to government policy. Let's look at some of the initiatives our provincial government took this sitting amidst the various scandals. First we had automobile insurance, which gave the government a chance to keep one of its most important campaign promises to the people of Ontario. Remember Premier David Peterson's 1987 pledge that he had "a very specific plan" to reduce automobile insurance premiums in Ontario' Unfortunately, it seems that between 1967 and 1989, that "very specific" pian has been forgotten. And many Ontario drivers have rate hikes in the double digits to prove it. Meanwhile, taxpayers have been stuck with a t7 mullion bill for the advice of the Ontario Automobile In- surance Board - advice which was summarily rejected by the government. Of course who could forget the 1989 Ontario budget, perhaps one of the more creative documents this govern- ment has produced in a very long time. Certainly Treasurer Robert Muton deserves an 'E' for effort on this year's budget. Mr. Nixon thought up some of the more creative forms of taxation we have seen in years - a five -dollar tax on tires, a tax on parking lots and commercial space, a tax on our payrolls, as well as the almost annual tax increases on gasoline and income. We were disappointed on the health-care front as well. Recently, we discovered the government would be reneging on a promise to spend $&% million to open some 4,400 hospital beds in Ontario. We now learn that instead of the 4,400 beds promised in 1986, the government will only open some 302 new beds. An extraordinary breach of faith! Meanwhile, patients who meed medical attention across this province are on waiting lists because there simply aren't enough beds or nurses. And more and more heart patients are having to travel to the United States for surgery - and news osf Published every Wednesday by Watson Publishing Company Limited, Est. 1950 Postal Address: Box 111, Agincourt, Ont.

Electricity Bills To Include New Tax The federal government's proposed nine per cent goods and services taut will apply to electricity. If legislation follows the tax categories outlined in the recently -released Technical Paper, from 1991 on, Ontario electricity bills will be nine per cent higher than they would otherwise have been. The nine per cent will be applied on top of any rate in- crease utilities need to maintain reliable electrical service. Electricity consumption During June, Ontario Hydro supplied 10.5 million megawatt-liours of electricity to Ontario consumers-, this is 4.2 percent more than in June, 1988. The 20,070 megawatt peak for the month was 6.4 percent more than the highest demand recorded in the same month of last year. This peak also broke last year's summer peak of 19,500 megawatts. Electricity exports and purchases Net revenues from the sale of electricity to utilities in the United States amounted to over $2 million (Canadian) in June. During the month, 121.400 megawatt -hours of elec- tricity were sold to the U.S. At the same time 154,434 megawatt -hours of electricity were purchased from utilities in Michigan, Manitoba and Hydro Quebec. ................................... .ti:•............... returning home with a sizeable bill for services rendered. On the labour front, the government introduced a massive overhaul of the workers' compensation system. While the system requires reform. I believe the govern- ment's initiative was the wrong one. And almost every worker with a disability in this province thinks so too. Clearly, this major initiative did little for the very people it was meant to please - the working person. I think it goes without saying that far more was lost in this past sitting than was gained. The public last more tax dollars, hospitals lost promised beds, the province's drivers lost more money to increased auto license fees and perhaps most importantly, the people of this province lost con- fidence in their government. Privatization Saves City DAVID `OM RVILLE The United States of America may not have a monarch but the small city of Ecorse lowed in the state of Michigan has its own ..emperor The emperor's name is Lotus Schimmel and he's a municipal bond expert by profession. Schimmel was dubbed the "Emperor of Ecorse" after he was appointed the receives for the mown of 13,000 in 1986. As receiver• he was given complete control over the finances of a town that had a S6 million deficit and was facing financial bankruptcy - Schimmel was determined to restore the town's financial health without raising taxes. His method was simple: he privatized. In fact, Schimmel privatized virtually every city service with the exception of the police department. A privately run contractor was put in charge of such services as street cleaning, show and debris removal, water auintatance, parr upkeep and weed cutting. He also contracted out the cleaning of City Hall and sold a city owned marina to the private sector. reduce the town's deficit by 83 per cent in just two years. The town budget is expected to be balanced next year. Ecorse's dramatic success with municipal privatization is not surprising in tight of several recent studies. Reports from the United States for instance, indicate that cities can cut their budgets by as much as 50 per cent by privatizing. Studies here in Canada also demonstrate that many services like garbage collection and public transportation can be delivered at less expense by the private sector. One study. for example. showed that private garbage collectors costCanadian cities 51 per cent less than public collectors. Another study showed that private bus services were 15 per cent less expensive to run than public bus systems. This evidence suggests that local governments facing budgetary pressures do not have to cut back on essential services or raise taxes to nuke ends meet Through privatization, municipalities can simultaneously reduce spending and improve local services. As a result of the privatization The "Emperor of Ecorse" has program, city services in Ecorse shown that privatization works. became more efficient and less Local politicians across Canada costly.

Aug. 23, 1989 Bill Watt's Worlds AT THE CNE: Our always sagacious readers will have noted that we have not referred to the dear old Lady of the Lake as The Ex. The word has connotations of over and past. Well, the C.N.E. has been going through some difficult times for the past few years but we, for one, do not think it in any danger of passing. Our visit to the advance opening of the Thailand Pavilion served to strengthen our belief that the C.N.E. is still the major show- place for those with something to offer. The Thailand Pavilion is well laid out. nicely organized and attractive. One can learn and enjoy there or simply enjoy as one wishes. We were particularly ap- preciative of the well writ- ten explanatory billboards - the word is correctly used - placed strategically throughout the pavilion. They are not effusive but rather, straight forward and quite honest. As well the English is im- peccable and we rather suspect the fine hand of Doreen Vanini who represents the Tourism Authority of Thailand locally. Nice to see you again Doreen: well done. Admission to Ontario Place is free during the C.N.E. and The Forum is presenting The Golden Acrobats and Magicians of Taiwan four times daily. We suggest that readers will find it interesting to compare the dancers of Taiwan and Thailand. In food products we sug- gest American Glace at The Yogurt Hut. It's 100% cholesterol and fat free, very low in sodium and it's even kosher. Since we're speaking of Thailand and Taiwan allow us a dreadful pun as we KALLY"'S 209E E"on Ave E .

It stages performances for various charitable causes in aid of children with han- dicaps. It makes its Toronto debut at The O'Keefe on Sept. 6th for the Variety Club and its Variety Village Aquatic Wing. What an evening it is go- ing to be' For one thing the perfor- mance begins at 6:30 p.m. and that should give some idea of the number of dancers one will see and enjoy. over 30 interna- tional ballet stars representing the world's major ballet companies. Among the dancers will be Fernando Bujones. Karen Kain. Evelyn Hart. Ierk Mukhamadev, Evelvne Desutter and Frank Augustyn. Companies to be represented are The Paris Opera Ballet. The National Ballet of Canada. Boston Ballet. Balleto de Verona, Te atro dell Opera di Roma. The Bolshoi Ballet. The Kirov Ballet. San Fran- cisco Ballet, New York City Ballet. Ballet National de Marseille and The Royal Danish Ballet. Special SW tickets will include a post performance gala supper and can be pur- chased by calling the Variety Club at 961-6201. Other tickets ranging in prices from $125 down to an incredibly modest 325 are available through Ticket- master in Toronto or The O'Keefe box office r����"��"ws "1989 — 1990 SEASON" On Golden Pond Sept.21 st - Oct.7th, bt Ernes: T^ornpson The Diary of Anne Frank Nov. 16th - Dec.2nd, 89 Dramanzarion bt G000nch & Hacker: Candida Jan.l lth - Jan.27th, 90 by George Bernard Show A Month in the Country Feb.22nd - Mar.10th, 90 by Turgenec adopted by Emiyn Williams Canterbury Tales Apr.26th - Mayl2th, 90 Book by Starkie & Coghill (Translation from Chaucer by Coghill) Music by Hill & Hawkins Lyrics by Coghill Subscriptions $.50 00 each Single Tickets $12.00 each Seniors Subscriptions $42 00 each Seniors Single Tickets $10 00 each Applies Wed..

ON YOUR TOES 11: Reid Anderson, the new Artistic Director of the Na- tional Ballet of Canada has announced some signifi- cant changes in the com- pany's roster of dancers for the '89"90 season. Space will not allow men- tion of all of them but here are those which should be considered particularly newsworthy. Principal Dancer Tomas Schramek has been pro- moted to Principal Character Artist. After having seen Mr. Schramek dance Mercutio in last Spr- ing's production of Romeo and Juliet we believe it too soon for a transfer to Character Artist. One hopes this is not a reprise of the David Roxander inci- dent. Principal Dancers Gregory Osborne and Frank Augustyn are both leaving the company although they will return for guest engagements. Mr. Osborne will pursue a career as an international freelance guest artist: Mr. Augustyn is now the Ar- tistic Director of Theatre Ballet of Canada. Both will be missed and. we believe, missed badly. Veronica Tennant will continue her association with the company but only until her Gala Perfor- mance on Nov. 21st at The O'Keefe. Time marches or dances on, of course, but one wishes that it need not. The quartet of dancers just mentioned have given us much pleasure over the years and it seems almost cruel to be denied that pleasure with the passage of time or. dare we say it?. the introduction of new ar- tistic direction. ON RECORD: As has been said so often, show business is 50% slow and 50% business: those who put up money for various productions are quite entitled to get as much back upon their return as possible. That explains why almost any motion picture of some consequence releases its musical sound track for solo consumption. Production costs are modest and the returns, if the album captures public fancy on its won, almost astronomical. Reliable RPM Weekly tells us that the soundtrack from Batman ( Warner Brothers) is the Number 1 album and that Batdance by Prince, from the album, is the Number 1 single as this is being written. This reviewer finds that difficult to understand. Oh, the music is interesting enough, maybe even ex- citing but out of context, as it were, when heard just on its Own. We can't help wondering if the popularity of the album is simply a response to the tremendous marketing job done on Bat- man. Be that as it might, the album is well worth one's custom both for present listening and possible future financial value. Who ever thought that the score of The Sea Hawk would find its way into the concert hall? Mind you, Prince is no Erich Korngold but ... who knows? And, we can't help wondering what the good people at Orion Films think when they hear another of the singles, The Arms of Orion. ON STAGE -WEST Opening this Friday at the city's arguably best theatre restaurant, Stage West, is the comedy Your Place or Mine starring Jesse White. Mr. White has become so well known as the lonely repair man in the Maytag commercials that many might have forgotten he is a very fine and funny character actor. We've always considered him right up there with the late Ed Brophy and that's high praise. The show is in preview until the following Wednes- day - that's a week tonight when it opens officially. Our review will follow. Here's a tip though: preview performances, when a production is smoothing out possible rough edges, are much fun and sometimes unpredic- table. The western Canada bas- ed Stage West continues to expand albeit to the east. We've just received word that the recently closed Capital Theatre in Downtown Windsor is to be re -opened on Oct. 5th for legitimate theatre presen- tations. It is to be called Stage West Theatre and the open- ing production will be Beehive! featuring Mary Wilson of the Supremos. We've seen the show several times including once at our own Stage West but still enjoy it and look forward to seeing it in Windsor. Congratulations Stage West. IN PRINT: Jack L. Chalker is an amazingly successful science fiction writer. He has also become quite pro- lific. He can't really be blamed for that. If the public is willing to pur- chase and read anything he writes simply because of his name then financially. he'd be foolish not to con- tinue grinding out his works like so much sausage meat. Artistically, however, it is shameful the way his ob- vious talent is being watered down by the very prolificity of and frequent prolixity in his writings. As a case in point we of- fer Dance Band On The Titanic a collection of his short stories. We read it some time ago and frankly have had it on our pending shelf wonder- ing just what to write about it and how. Well, when we picked it up finally to compose this piece we found that we could hardly remember the plot line of any of the stories. That should never be the case with the works of a master writer such as, for example, Ray Brad- bury. Yet, we do recall these masterful words from one of the stories, Moths and Candles. "History is always writ- ten by the victors, not the victims." He "no longer believed in gods. He believed in greed, in avarice, in self- justification and moral am- biguity... How many sen- tient races had developed their world to the point where most of the animals were extinct, the waters and air fouled, and where the people still went down to worship and pray for forgiveness of their sins even as they went back out and committed more?" U yours truly had the talent to write something like that we wouldn't, we hope, waste it on pap such as the rest of Dance Band On The Titanic. RECORD NEWS: Paul James is one of the busiest of the local popular musicians playing close to 320 engagements a year. To the best of our limited krowledge, however, be has never recorded on his own. Be that as it might, it's a pleasure to pass along the news of his possible debut album on the Stony Plain label. It's titled Rockin' the Blues and features some James originals along with a brace of classic blues tunes and the Presley cover, Jailhaase Rock. There are 12 tracks on the L.P., 14 on the cassette and C.D. versions. It's probably just a coin- cidence of juxtaposition but we're amused by the two titles Gonna Get You Baby and Red Hot Mama.

The Garde Dance is a line formation dance with high kicking, marching and precision manoeuvring in typical garde costumes - high white boots, short circular skirt, jacket and hat. Pickeritng's group has done well in the competition in the past few years, and it is the highlight of the year's hard work. There are three Gardes decided by age.

The issue of abortion has been with us for many years and regardless of the outcome of whatever legislation is propos- ed it will continue to be an issue. The issue was raised by many people during the November election and although I never shyed away from responding I respected the many views that were expressed to me. In the majority those views reflected a "pro-life" at- titude. The recent public cases on abortion has inflamed the issue further and caused both sides to dig in further for the pitched battle. The courts have made it clear thtt a woman has certain rights in choosing whether she will carry the fetus but it also requested the government to provide some guidance to protect the fetus. Doug Lewis, the Minister of Justice is working on this new legislation and hopefully will introduce it this fall. It will be a bill in response to the Supreme Court of Canada ruling. I have tried to meet with all those who wished to influence my thinking on abortion but I know that there are many of my constituents I have not heard from. I want all of your views. In my next householder, due early September I have irn- cluded a questionnaire which asks your opinion on abortion. There is room for two comments from each household so please allow two people to respond. The questionnaire has room for both a pro choice and pro life stance but there is also room for your thoughts on a compromise. Since I too will have to decide whether to vote for the compromise. I want you to do the same. So in answering the questionnaire please choose either a clear "Yes or no" or the compromise but not both. .............ee............................................... all instruction, costumes and most travelling costs. if you are interested in becoming a member of the dance group call 03-9223.

The Stream Improve- ment Project consists of 10 youths, and is funded by the Ontario government through the Environmental Youth Corps. The project received $38,000. In total, the conservation authority has hired 36 youths to work on a wide variety of projects. Total Environmental Youth Corps funding to the authority is 5127,000. The youths in the Stream Improvement Project are coilechM and recycling debris found in the streams, surveying the streams for signs of ero- sion, noting obvious Signs of water pollution, and assessing streambank vegetation. In addition, the students are rebuilding at least one eroded stream - bank this surnmer. The sites that are visited are selected on a priority basis across the Metro region watershed. Last year, youths collected more than 97,000 kilograms of debris from streams - 63,000 kilograms of that amount was recycled. The total amount this year will vary because different sites have been selected. The material is recycled freeof-charge by WMI. Unusual Welcome Antoine Hagge has chosen an unusual and in- teresting method of welcoming the CNIB staff to their new Scarborough satellite office at 2555 Eglinton Ave. E. Rather than make a financial contribution, A.T.S. Hagge & Associates has proposed a $3,000 computer -training package this August for several staff members. They will receive first-class instnlc- tion in Microcomputers, In- troductory DOS and Word- Perfect. According to Andrew Murie, Administrator for the CNIB in Metro Toronto, this kind of support will enable them to implement their computer operations in a much more efficient and timely fashion than originally anticipated. The kind of sophisticated technical aids which the CNIB frequently purchases for the blind, often restricts its financial resotu'ces for other necessities. The budget for adequate com- puter training for their sighted office staff was one such affected necessity. It is an indirect ap. proach, but Antoine Hagge feels that even a small business can make a wor- thwhile contribution that will produce on-going results. Results that will ultimately enable thousands of blind people in the community take one more step, independently. .r - Wed.

Aug. Z3,1989 THE NEWS/ POST Page u The Boy With An R In His Hand Joe Bostick, who portrays Alec Buchanan in The Boy With an R in his Hand, looks "out of sorts" in the print shop at Black Creek Pioneer Village. The play is based on the James Reaney story about a boy who becomes a printer's apprentice to William Lyon Mackenzie. "Out of sorts" is a phrase coined in the printers trade. Individual letters used on the press were called sorts. When a printer was short of letters, he was said to be out of sorts. The Boy With an R in his Hand is presented Tuesday through Sunday, from July 2 until Labour Day, at Black Creek by Theatre on the Move. ................................................. ..........................::: New Horizon Grants LtravelJ Barbados Sports ... ... On Land, On Sea Barbadians have been called "sports mad" and one sport which has caught their fancy is cricket. Cricket, the national game - and some say the national "religion.. - is played bet- ween June and January. Most cricket matches are played on Saturday and Sunday afternoons on club grounds but sometimes the game is even played on the beach! Some of the island's best players are part of the top- rated West Indies team and Sir Garfield Sobers, con- sidered by many to be the best all-round cricketer in the world, is Barbadian. Sobers' name is lent to an intense tournament held in Barbados every summer.
