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 penods and to expand man's knowledge of astronomy - Problems occurred during liftoff as vibrations tore off a meteroid shield, which tools 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 de%ise 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 expenments involving adaptability of humans to micrograyity 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. Question: Who wrote the poem "The House With Nobody In It"?

Answer: American poet and author Alfred Joyce Kilmer wrote this poem. It is a sentimental piece about an abandoned house, sad and forlorn after its occupants have moved out. The poem's simple style is representative of much of Kilmer's poetry. His best-known poem is "Trees," published in 1913 in Poetry, A :Magazine of Verse and then in his 1914 collec- tion Trees and Other Poems. Kilmer was born in New Brunswick, New Jersey in 1886. At one time or another, he held such positions as teacher, editor, and book salesman. From 1909 to 1912, he was a staff member for the standard Dictionary. writing and revising definitions. In 1913, Kilmer converted to Catholicism. a change ap- parent in his later poems. When the United States entered World War I a few years later, Kilmer enlisted as a private and later was promoted to sergeant. He was killed in the line of duty in July, 1918. He left behind an unfinished work detailing the history of his regiment in France. / 'N SAVE UP TO 40 ON NEXT MONTHS / PHONE BILL! THIS PHONE IS THE MOST -= MTC PREFERRED PHONE IN CANADA!

For Students Several students (both high school and university) are involved in summer work programs at C. L O. C. A.'s head office. The Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority has utilized several programs offered by the Province of Ontario. The Environmental Youth Corps and the Ministry of Natural Resources' Summer Ex- perience '89 provide valuable training in a career -related environ- ment. The Resource Technician is conducting vegetative and wildlife surveys of areas within C.L.O.C.A.'s jurisdiction that are props - ed for development. In ad- dition to these reports, the student assists C.L.O.C.A.'s Planning Technician in inspecting development sites for discrepancies with control measures. The Erosion Crew, also based at C.L.O.C.A.'s head office, spends most of their time outdoors, surveying land for erosion and ar- mouring stream banks with rip -rap stone to pre- vent that erosion. In addi- tion, the Erosion Crew records waterfront profiles of Lake Ontario for the Ministry of Natural Resources. These summer work pro- grams provide valuable ex- perience for future studies or employment. Page 2 THE NEWS; POST Wed. Sept. 20, 1988 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Affordable Housing The current quest for affordable housing - for those with incomes of $25.000 to $40,000 - has become an obsession of the provincial government. Queen's Park is now aiming to insist that all housing projects are required to provide a percentage of the units of any housing development for so- called "affordable housing"' The simple answer to the problem, of course, eludes our provincial politicans, who are relying on their top civil ser- vants for the answer. But at no cost to the government and less involvement by the provincial government we can give the answer. It is very simple - provide 4 per cent loans for mortgages and ex- tend the length of a mortgage from 25 years to 40 years. This would bring the cost to buy a house monthly back into the range for such people - which is most of the population of Ontario. An Opposition View by Andv Brandt We all remember the chaos last summer and fall with On- tario's health care system. Heart patients faced a minimum six-month waiting list for surgery. others travell- ed to the United States, retu•ciing home to a bill for services rendered. And still more tragically died waiting. Almost every hospital closed beds and cut back on ser- vice to meet the balanced budget demands being placed on them by the provincial health ministry . Health care profes- sionals, who had to deal with this situation fust -hand. were unhappy that dollars were dictating who received treat- ment and when. It was one of our province's saddest hours. This summer we haven't witnessed those same severe health care cutbacks - yet. However. what has been happen- ing is that hospitals. just as they did last year. are turning in budgets which project deficits. And, as she did last year. Elinor Caplan, Ontario's Health Minister, is returning those budgets. demanding they be trimmed. The big question facing hospitals is tow' Shut down an operating room' Close some beds? limit service? These aren't decisions that administrators or doctors like to make. Nor are they decisions they should have to make. Especially when nearly all of this last-minute slashing could early be avoided with the proper planning and management from Ontario's health ministry. Everyone agrees deficit budgets are undesirable and should be avoided. But hospitals, and indeed all health care agencies, can neve predict what kind of a fiscal year they will have. In fact, contrary to most business principles. the busier a hospital is, the more money it Loses. Say, for exam- ple, a person is rushed to the hospital for an emergency ap- pendectomy. Providing that person a hospital bed, a nurse, food, supplies and an operating roan costs the hospital money. On the other hand, if no one occupies that bed. the hospital saves money. In fad, the only constant in budgeting for a hospital is its annual incl ease from the provincial government to Cover the rate of inflation. But of late, that increase has fallen far short of inflation. This year hospitals received only four per cent from the government as their annual increase. Yet in- flation is running at over five per cent' So the hospital is in the red before it even begins to deliver service. Elinor Caplan talks profusely about the new direction of health care in Ontario. About the emiphasis on Community and home care. About the move away from institutionaliza- tion. I agree. We should ensure that Ontarians can stay at home as lag as they wish. But if the government is truly committed to this new direction, then why, I wonder, are our home care agencies, such as the Red Cross and Victoria Order of Nurses. in debt? Why did we see a protest of home care workers on the front steps of the Ontario legislature earlier this year? It was for the same reason that nurses protested as well. It was due to a lack of adequate funds from the Ontario government to do the job that is needed. Mrs. Caplan, her ministry and the Ontario government must come to terms with the fact that due to the nature of their service, hospitals are not a business and they cannot be ordered to operate the same way. Yes, they must be fiscally responsible. Yes, they must trim costs wherever possible. But in the final analysis, I believe hospitals should be judged on how well they serve people, not on the bottom line of their budget. news ".ost Published every Wednesday by Watson Publishing Company Limited.

Public Hostage To the Editor: "Inconsiderate drivers who park illegally are holduvg the transit public hostage," complained a TTC Commissioner. Such outrage I There is only one problem - it's misdirected. It is the inconsiderate and irresponsible executive members of ATU Focal 113 playing politics who are holding the transit public hostage. Transit -dependent passengers (i.e. people who don't own can or can't afford to use them daily) are being inconve- nienced by this illegal slowdown. Casual users of the system are using their cars instead of the TTC thus increas- ing the number of cars on the road and the incidence of il- legal parking. Drivers who must and have been using their cars all along are being frustrated by the extra cars on our streets and decreased number of parking spots. If too many people get out of the habit of using the T'I'C, there will be a permanent, immediate increase in traffic congestion, TTC revenue will drop fares will go up and sul - sidies increased. Everyone is a loser because of Local 113's obstinacy in refusing to accept a reasonable approach to part-time drivers. Taxpayers should urge their municipal politicians and TTC Commissioners to ask the province to impose binding arbitration: they should call their MPP's to urge theta to impose it. It's an abdication of responsibility if this sorry situation is allowed to continue. Yours truly, Gordon J. Chong D.D.S.

Sept. 20, 1N9 THE NEWS/ MST Page 3 Approve Property Tax Reform by Gay Abbate Property tax reform has finally been approved by Metro Council. The new and controver- sial tax scheme passed by a 22-11 margin last week thus ending years of bickering about what to do. Under the new plan which will be in place for the 1991 tax bills, an estimated 328,000 homeowners across Metro will get tax cuts. As part of a compromise plan, those 180,000 homes plus some 118,000 apartments which would get tax increases will see them deferred until at least 1996 when Metro will once again review the whole issue to decide whether to scrap market value reassessment or stay with it. Businesses will have to pay increases however to make up for the lost revenue. The plan is an attempt to make property taxes more equitable. The last reassessment was done in 1953 and was based on 1940 homes. This means that homes of that era are pay- ing a lot less in taxes than owners of newer homes which are of the same market value. Taxpayers interested in knowing how much of a tax cut. if any, they will receive can phone their Metro or local councillor. All of Scarborough's six Metro councillors voted for the new tax plan with the exception of Brian Ashton whose Scarborough Bluffs ward will be especially hard hit with increases when the freeze is lifted.

Sept. 20, 1989 THE NEWS; POST Page 5 Scarborough Battling Leaves Composting With Metro Over Rouge Site by Gay Abbate Scarborough politicians say they will not allow themselves to be blackmailed into allowing Metro to open a leaf com- posting depot near the Rouge River. When Metro found out two weeks ago that the city's works and transpor- tation committee was balk- ing at letting some 30 acres of land near Beare Rd., the Zoo and the Rouge River be used for composting it issued a threat. In a letter to Metro politicians, Bob Ferguson, Metro's Works Commissioner, says that unless Scarborough agrees to the Beare Rd. site, Metro might not accept Scar- borough's leaves for com- posting at its transfer sta- tions and at its current composting site in Vaughan. Scarborough is currently looking at a Scarborough only composting site for which it would need just three to four acres. Both North York and Etobicoke do their own leaf com- posting. Metro this fall will collect leaves in Toronto, York and East York. It needs the Beare Rd. site because its Vaughan loca- tion cannot accommodate the expected quantities. Toronto is expected to produce 12,000 tons of leaves this year with another 2,300 from the smaller municipalities of York and East York. Scar- borough is expected to pro- duce about 4,000 tons of leaves. The leaf curbside collection program starts Ws fall. Brighten Your Garden The Civic Garden Centre, 777 Lawrence Ave. E., is having a sale of outdoor mums on Sept. 23rd and 24th from 12 noon to 5 p.m. The newest varieties of coral, red, bronze, lavender and white will brighten your garden long after the annuals have past their prime. All mums are sold in eight inch fibre pots at $4.50 each. The Civic Garden Centre prides itself on carrying top- quality plants for the garden. Plant sales are one method used by this non- profit organization to raise funds for the many ser- vices it provides to the peo- ple of Toronto. If you have had difficulty with your garden this year, you might consider having your soil tested at the cen- tre this fall so you will be prepared to start next year's season. During the fall and winter months take advan- tage of one of Canada's leading horticultural libraries or take one of the excellent courses being of- fered by the centre to im- prove your gardening ex- pertise- The centre's hor- ticulturists will be on duty to provide gardening ad- vice. and willing vohmteers will help you to your car with your plants. There is ample free parking available. VIP Walka thou The annual VIP ( Very Important Pet) Walkathon will be held on Sun. Sept. 24th at Sunnybrook Park to raise funds for the Toronto Humane Society. Last year's walkathon was a huge success and thousands of dollars were raised to help the society promote adoption of its animals to loving homes. as well as supporting many educational programs. This year's event will also feature a fly -ball demonstration and fun con- tests with celebrities awar- ding prizes for the biggest animal, smallest animal, animal with the curliest tail, etc. participating in the walk. Sherry Miller. Carolyn Waldo. Dave Broadfoot. Erica Ritter. Liz Grogan. Jeremy Brown. Tony the Tiger, Mr. Peanut and a number of local politicians have all promised to at- tend.

Sept. 20, 1989 Bill Watt's Worlds MIGHTY MUSIC: Mention grand opera to someone and chances are he or she will think of Aida by Verdi. Above all else, it is indeed grand. Opera companies like to pull out all stops when producing it, using countless extras, full chorus and maybe even a few elephants. We believe it can safely be warranted that the In- ternational Opera Festival production of Aida which is to appear at the SkyDome an Oct. 26th and 26th will be the most spectacular opera staging ever experienced in Toronto. We'll be reporting more about this landmark pro- duction in future columns but for now, consider some of the following items. There will be over 1500 costumes. 5000 props. a wide variety of exotic animals, a stage measur- ing over 3000 square metres, a 14 metre sphinx .11 and three enormous pyramids. The principal singer will be the renowned Grace Bumbry meaning that this Aida will be more than simply -simply! -spectacle; it will be exquisitely wor- thwhile musically. There is an amusing though probably apochyphal story about the late Sir Thomas Beecham and one of his experiences with Aida. For reasons best known to himself, the maestro ac- cepted an invitation to con- duct an amateur operatic society production of the work. Though short on talent the society was well heeled and the production was to be lavish; in fact, there was to be an elephant from the local zoo in one of the processions. At the dress rehearsal the ponderous pachyderm lumbered on stage and . . promptly disgraced itself. .Around and A bout Your Dining & Entertainment Guide Sir Thomas, from his sta- tion in the pit observed "Atrocious manners but gad, what a critic!". Elephants do not def- ficate in professional pro- ductions; the SkyDome is safe. MIGHT BE MUSIC: We mean the Being Alive in 1989 Tour of a group named Jr. Gone Wild. The name is not known to us and so we have no idea of the kind of music played by Jr. Gone Wild; nor can we guess or deduct it from where they will be perfor- ming. Tues. Sept. 19th they'll be ,at The Horseshoe: on the 29th, they'll play E1 Mocambo. So, we don't know whether to expect "1989 — 1990 SEASON" On Golden Pond Sept.21 st - Oct.7th. 89 by Frnest Tnrwnpsnn The Diary of Anne Frank Nov.16th - Dec.2nd. 89 Drarrurizatron by Guodrwh & Hacker: Candida Jan.l lth - Jan.27th, % by Gec?rgr Bernard Shour A Month in the Country Feb.22nd - Mar.10th, 90 by Turgerwt: adapted by Frrrlyn TA"llirmts Canterbury Tales Book by Starkie & Coghill l Translation from Chutxer by Coghill; Music by Hill & Hawkins Lyrics by Coghill Apr.26th - Mayl2th, 90 Suh,cnpti,)ns $50 00 ,each Single i wkets 312 00 ,each Seniors Subscnp,ions 532 (1n each Seniors Sin* Tickets $100() each ApNe, Wed.

What ever, we're ad- vised that Jr. Gone Wild - what a name -has a large local following and we'd be more than remiss not to mention their two Toronto appearances. SIMPLE MUSIC: That's what one will hear on Out of This World, the new Kim and Jerry Brodey children's album. We attended the concert presentation recently at Toronto Free and were quite taken by it. The songs are original, short for the most part -they're intended for children after all -and filled with good, sound musical values. Most children's albums can be enjoyed by adults as they watch and share vicariously with their children the thrill of discovering music. We suggest, however. that many will enjoy Out of This World's musical offer- ings on their own. Everything old is new again. of course. and listen- ing to this music we couldn't help thinking of the jazz Played by dance orchestras in the late thir- ties through the middle for- ties. In fact. and don't split your sides over this. it's rather like that of Jimmy Lunceford or Chick Webb Prayed by Spade Cooley . . with a soulKon of reggae thrown in for good measure. Fact is. good measure - musical measure -is much in abundance in Out of This World. Good album for adults; an excellent one for children. DAINCE: Reid Anderson is now the artistic director rather than A.D. Designate of the !National Ballet and met the media informally recently at Abundance. What a plea- sant evening it was and what a pleasant man is Mr. Anderson. Speaking without notes he outlined his plans for the company, about which we'll be writing more in future columns. For now, be relieved to bear that The National remains a classical company to be in- fused with the energy of rising younger choreographers among whom John Alleyne will Bluffers Restaurant & The Dogfish Bar 7 Brimley Rd.

After addressing us Mr. Anderson made himself available to all who wished to speak with him. This warmed him muchly to your correspondent. Without one hopes, being over critical, his im- mediate predecessors fre- quently seemed rather remote; Mr. Anderson is open and frank, en- thusiastic and friendly. One feels that he will be much beloved by the com- pany. SONG AND DANCE: That's a possibly frivolous cut line to an- nounce another important event coming up. We mean the Alexandrov Red Army Chorus and Dance Ensemble appear- ing at Massey Hall Sept. 26th through the 30th. Yes, this is the same troupe that used to be known simply as The Red Army Chorus and yes, you'll still experience one of the finest imaginable evenings of music and dance. We have said before and continue to believe that an evening with the Red Army. Chorus is one of life's greatest pleasures. Let us hope that in the spirit of glasnost there will be no demonstrations this time by no doubt well inten- tioned protesters against a troupe merely performmng as they are paid to do. PUZZLEMENT: We have at hand a release from P.E.N. an- nouncing that the 54th P. E. N. Congress is to be held in Toronto starting Sept. 24th with a gala at Roy Thomson Hall in sup- port of International P.E.N. and the Interna- tional Writers in Prison Committee. The latter is a group dedicated to the release of writers who have been im- prisoned for their political views expressed in writing. The gala will feature Edith Butler, Lion Boyd ( will Pierre Trudeau make a surprise appearance? and Salome Bey. Ticket prices are reasonable and obtained through the Massey Hall and Roy Thomson box offices. The cause seems wor- thwhile and certainly the concert will be well worth one's custom. What is puzzling to us is the release itself. Nowhere in it, or at least nowhere that we could see is an ex- planation of the letters P.E.N. PEN by itself is clever and the street wise will be amused by the connection between Pen and prisoners. But what does P.E.N. stand for? The question has actually caused us to end a sentence with a preposi- tion. FAST EXIT: One of the attractions at the Festival of Festivals was Penn and Teller Get Killed featuring so called comedians Penn Jillette and Teller.

( Willard ) It's as good as the motion picture and is available in a clear plastic sealed envelope for $22.50. CURTAIN CALL: With all those limousines around for the F.O.F. ( Festival of Festivals) how about these lines from Dorothy Parker. Why is it no one ever sent me yet One perfect limousine, do you suppose? Ah no, it's always just my luck to get One perfect rose.

Ages range from 5 years to early 20's and are divided into Kinder, Junior and Senior. Practices are on Monday evenings at Dunbarton High School.
