Answer: These terms refer to the position of the sun in relation to the earth's equator as the earth completes its orbit around the sun. The earth's axis. a straight line through the center of the planet connecting the north and South Poles, is tilted at an angle to its orbit. Therefore, the Northern Hemisphere is tilted toward the sun during part of the year and then tilted away from it for the remainder of the year. In the first part of this cycle, the Northern Hemisphere is closer to the sun's warmth and is in the summer season. As the earth's orbit progresses, the Northern Hemisphere leans away from the sun and experiences winter. An equinox is the middle point of this rotation when the sun is directly over the equator. At this time, night and day are the same length around the world. The word "equinox" comes from Latin and means "equal night." The equinoxes occur on March 20 or 21, signaling the beginning of spring, and on September 22 or 23, heralding the first day of fall. The solstices are the days when the sun has reached its northern or southern -most point. The summer solstice hap- pens about June 21 when the sun is over the Tropic of Cancer, a line around the world parallel to the equator and halfway between it and the North Pole. This is the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere and marks the beginning of summer. The winter solstice occurs about December 21, the first day of winter. The sun is then above the Tropic of Capricorn, a line halfway between the equator and the South Pole. ('� SAVE UP TO 40% ON NEXT MONTHS PHONE BILL!

More News On Back Page Z "11HE NC:WS'r0N'F Wed. Sept. 27, 1989 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Threshold No Fault Is Not The Answer Says Consumes' Assoclatlon of Canada (Ontario) The Ontario Automobile Insurance Board has just releas- ed its report on No -Fault Auto Insurance and, regrettably, advocates a so-called "threshold no-fault" system. The threshold system would retain the right to sue for bodily in- juries described in a list of injury definitions set out in new legislation, but only when the other party is deemed to be at fault. As a means of compensating people injured in automobile accidents, the tort system, wherein an injured party sues for compensation, is fundamentally flawed. It does not recognize that many accidents are the result of simple, everyday human mistakes and, by failing to recognize this, it grossly undercompenstes many injured people. The tort system can also fail to compensate innocent injured people who, for whatever reason, are unable to demonst.ate that so- meone else was at fault. The compensation provided to injured people is not based on the degree of fault of the negligent driver, nor is it always based on the injured person's needs. Instead, it depends upon the amount of coverage carried by the at - fault driver, the skill of the lawyer retained by the injured party. the insurance company's willingness to negotiate. and many other factors. It is simply not a fair system. On the evidence presented to the OAIB Hearings. the threshold options offer no measurable savings. They add an dement of uncertainty and provide an additional subject for litigation - indeed, the threshold options retain marry of the worst aspects of the present tort system. To retain the right to sue requires that one party is at fault. Yet. in testimony to the OAIB, Insurance Commis- sioner Merin of New Jersey put the blame for auto ac- cidents into perspective when he said: "In the vast majority of cases they're not intentional torts. they're not intentional wrongdoings: that if indeed these are accidents they are momentary lapses of concen- tration. Someone hits someone else .. In most cases it's im- possible to reconstruct exactly what happened. In nwst cases no one really is at fault " � p.3482; To suggest that the risk of being sued acts as a deterrent to careless driving. as proponents of the tort system do, is ludicrous. It is CAC's view that the only sensible reform that should be considered is a Pure No -Fault system_ A Pure No -Fault system eliminates the uncertainty inherent in the tort system or a threshold system. It protects everyone who is injured: you don't have to prove someone else was at fault in order to receive compensation. A Pure No -Fault system can also provide prompt, richer benefits. CAC further believes that such a no-fault system cannot be run by the private insurance industry. CAC, therefore• is in favour of a Quebec type I government -operated Pure bio -Fault system of compensation for people injured in automobile accidents. Such a system offers many advantages: - it will be more efficient: I there are over 135 insurers in On- tario i it will provide higher payments of no-fault benefits faster: it will allow for the uniform treatment of all claimants: it will be possible to integrate automobile no-fault benefits with other government benefits schemes: - it will guarantee access to optional additional benefits to individual needs through private insurers: it will be more accountable to the public: it will penalize at -fault drivers with much higher renewal premiums: - it will penalize negligent and drunk drivers, under the criminal justice system. ...................::::•:........................................

These reforms will constitute a component of the Govern- ment's proposed overhaul a( auto ilnsura e. The proposed reforms will necessitate changes to both the rules of court and legislation. The amendments will in- crease the availablilty of structtured settlements, change the way and the time period for which pre -judgement in- terest is caknAated, and increase the availability of ad- vance payments for all personal injury claims. Other amendments will broaden the use of expert evidence from health professionals, as well as facilitate the sharing of medical evidence in advance of trial. Derived from both the Osborne Report on Motor Vehicle Accident Compensation in Ontario. and the Ontario Law Reform Commission Report on Compensation for Personal Injuries or Death, the tort reforms will improve the means by which personal injury compensation cases are dealt with by the courts. Attorney General Scott commented that Nftle the reforms are being brought forward as a part of this Govern- ment's response to the auto insurance issue, they will be of benefit to all parties seeking compensation for personal in- juries from our courts."

"It's prime agricultural land. Scarborough already has 28 landfill sites. We've done our fair share," said Coun- cilor John Wardrope. The proximity of the Rouge River to the proposed com- posting site means there could be negative impacts on the water course, be said. "We're trying to clean it up not make it worse.,, Scarborough will ask Metro to be allowed to use the Vaughan site if it can- not come up with its own leaf composting location in time.

We have been invited by Miss Victoria LaMont to a High Tea next Wednesday in the upper lobby of the Bluma Appel Theatre in the St. Lawrence Centre. The occasion is an oppor- tunity to meet the director and cast of Britain's Royal Court Theatre for a pre- opening welcome. Under the auspices of the Canadian Stage Company the Royal Court will be ap- pearing until Oct. 28th at the Bluma Appel in presen- tation of two works. They are Our Country's Good (clever title) by Timberlake Wertenbaker and The Recruiting Officer by George Farquhar. The former is a contemporary play, winner of the 1988 Olivier Award for best new play of the year London. the latter is. of course.the brilliant restoration com- edy from 1706. We are not wildly en- thusiastic over Our Coun- try's Good -Ms. Werten- baker is the authoress. after all. of the unlamented Grace of Mary Traverse - but find ourself muchly an- ticipating the Farquhar romp. Other commitments made well in advance will prevent our attendance at the respective opening nights but we hope to catch both works during the Royal Court's engagement and will report back. Still, one shouldn't await a reviewer's comments after the fact. A company such as this virtually war- rants fine performances. You will enjoy, as we in- tend to enjoy high tea with The Royals.

Speaking of hosts -clever seg O! -the M. C. for the in- augural presentation in the George Ignatieff Theatre will be His Worship Mayor Arthur Eggleton. After- wards he will host a recep- tion in the City Hall rotun- da for all audience members. It's going to be a fine afternoon -curtain time is 3 p.m. -and maybe we can finally collect the 30C Mr. E. still owes us for the time we both appeared on the Doug Hall Show. He was the city treasurer at the time and one would think that he'd pony up sooner or later. Sheesh. think of the interest we must have ac- cumulated by now' GOOD MEDICINE: One is not sure if the ilk Around and Abou a Your Dining &Entertainment Guide term corporate steward- ship is an apt one to describe the activities of a labour union but we pro- pose to use it in reference to and perhaps reverence of the C.A.W. union and its substance abuse program. We recently attended what one supposes is the Labour Temple for a preview showing of the music video Good Medicine. Commissioned by the C.A.W. it is directed by and stars Lorraine Segato late of the Parachute Club. In 4 minutes and 40 seconds it delivers a message that is pro- vocative at the same time as it is entertaining. It doesn't preach, it inspires and anyone who is not touched by it .. well, it's never too late one hopes. Video production values are good but we understand there is also an audio cassette available for air play. 'Phone your local sta- tion and ask for it to be played. Apart from its message. Good Medicine is good entertainment. HOT STRLNGS: Jazz violinist Stephan Grappelli appears at Roy Thomson Hall on Oct. 10th. Though be rarely swings now in the fashion of his early days with the Quintet of the Hot Club of France with Django Reinhardt, he still plays with an almost ineffable sweetness that can wring maximum emo- tion even from musical trifles. As this is being written, his program is not known to us but we expect it will be his usual fine mix of the electric and the eclectic. HOT EYES: Nice to read in RPM Weekly that Robert Payne, former broadcaster and now writer has been named chairman of the Ontario Film Review Board. We are arranging for a supply of murine to be sent to him. Reviewing all those films - click coming up - must be a dirty job but somebody's got to do it. How about an uncut ver sion of Caligula, Bob? LEARNING HOW: It is, or should be, well known that talent alone is not enough to ensure suc- cess in the performing ants. The successful performer, entrepreneur, promoter, what ever must always act in the knowledge that stow business is 50% stow and 50% business. Far too many, par- ticularly singers and musi- cians, fail simply because �� "A their talents have not been properly presented. There are institutions that provide proper business training but regrettably too few. It's a pleasure then to an- nounce the opening on Oct. 2nd of the Harris Institute for the Arts at 296 King St. E. Aim of the school is to equip artists with knowledge of the necessary business aspects. The first program is intended for the music industry; all graduates will complete three trimesters, including an internship within the in- dustry for hands-on ex- perience in the workplace. Enrollment is limited so we suggest that those in- terested get right to the 'phone and contact the Har- ris Institute. It could keep you from a lifetime of working legion dances.

We don't know if the sticker is there because of some kind of regulatory require- ment or if it is intended as a teaser. Either way, it doesn't work. This is what, one sup- poses, is a rap record. Music values are minimal, the spoken word prevails. Well, that might be all well and good but we simply couldn't make out what was said. We tried virtually all combinations of bass and treble but quite simple couldn't make out the words. Technical production can't be at fault; the music - the music! -comes through loud, very loud, and clear; we simply can't make out the lyrics. Perhaps the album should be played backwards i la Abbey Road. And maybe it's just as well that the lyrics can't be understood; not given such titles as Get it Up, Inch by Inch, Pump it Up and Sex on the Dance Floor. The production as men- tioned earlier is satisfac- tory from a technical stand point and is by The Done Properly Posse! Could there be a connection here with the Arsenio Hall Show band? Don't really know why we mention that except that we always try to say something nice about everything- Pretty bloody hard though with I Need a Rhythm. ON T.V.

As champion- ships could be won or lost, there was a display of over- ly aggressive driving which resulted in a multitude of incidents. In the 50 -lap Trartsam feature race, only three Canadians out of a field of 31 cars entered the contest. They were Toronto's Ron Fellows in a Macken- zie/Roush Racing Mustang, (989 champion of the Players Ltd. i GM Series) , Jerry Simmons driving the True North Racing Corvette and Peter Deman, also in a Corvette. Earlier in the weekend, in practice for the Camaro!Firebird race, Fellows had flipped his Camaro end -over -end when he hit the guardrail in the rain on Turn 1. He suffered a stiff neck, sore left elbow and a very sore back. It was doubtful whether he could compete the rest of the weekend. But compete he did, and most successfully. For the first time in the three races he has run this year for Roush Racing, Fellows won the TransAm race with a margin of 4.9035 seconds over Dorsey Schroeder of St. Louis, Mo. This most competitive TransAm semi-final gave him the win after coming in third in his previous two events. Third was Tommy Kendall of Glendale, Ca. After the race Fellows said he had some foam - rubber attached to his seat to ease his back pain. He was elated about his win, and hopes to get a full time ride in a TransAin car from Roush next season. When questioned about his chances of that, his smiling reply was, "That's up to Jack Roush." Fellows' win earned him the Duralt Star of the Race award and earned Ford the Manufacturer's champion- ship with 82 points over Chevrolet's 62 and Oldsmobile's 60. Schroeder won the overall champion- ship with one race remain- ing in the TransAm series.

At the first start, too many cars at- tempted to enter Turn 1 on the second lap, resulting in the No. 2 Firebird of Kathryn Teasdale being shunted into the right side guardrail and practically demolishing a starter's stand and her car. After a considerable delay, the cars again set off, only to see a multi -car crash on the back of the course. Involved in that pile-up was Richard Spenard, one of the points leaders. Apparently Spenard tried to borrow teammate David Empr- ingham's Camaro but the latter thought his chances to be good, and Spenard was refused, forcing him to sit out the race. The third and fatal at- tempt to run the race had Willowdale's Robin Buck victorious, Empringham came in a close second, proving his thinking was correct. Rob Fellows, brother of Ron, came third. In the Export "A" Inc. Formula 2000 action, still more incidents were to take place. Four of the cars tangled through Turn 2, and remained just off the course for the duration of the race. This was a most dangerous situation but fortunately no more cars were involved.

Woodbridge's Bill Clubine extended his lead in the Honda Michelin Series by setting the fastest qualifying time, a 1:49.576 and then taking the win in his No. 23 Acklands Civic. West Hill's Lee Hobbs had placed his Newmarket Honda in sixth in the quali- fying but an old nemesis, a leaking oil filter, caused Hobbs to DNF for a third time this year. Three more cars crashed in Turn 2 in this race, including Clubine's Acklands' part- ner Terry Di Francesco. Some quarters suggested that it was Hobbs' oil which made that part of the track so slick. Finally, the Chevrolet Corvette Challenge, a 45 minute contest, saw Willowdale's Peter Lockhart take the win.

Sept. 27,1989 THE NEWS/ POST Page 11 What Turns On Young Entrepreneurs Young entrepreneurs start or want to start their businesses to reach self - actualization goals such as the personal challenge, desire to be one's own boss, and the desire to build something. Researchers studying the motivations and obstacles of 115 student en- trepreneurs in the Business School at the University of Western Ontario have found that money as a motivating factor was ranked fourth in a list of the factors that influenced students to start a business. In the last five years, university and college campuses across Canada have witnessed a Iarge growth in student en- trepreneurial ventures. Combined with this growth in student interest has been the establishment of both formal courses in en- trepreneurship and student -run campus en- trepreneur clubs. "With all this activity there is a need to unders- tand the demographic and psycographic information about Canadian student en- trepreneurs. The study is meant as a preliminary at- tempt to broaden the think- ing about the role and im- portance of this group," sayd Bernard Hellen, a re- cent graduate of the Western Business School who conducted the survey. -Results of the study, which will be presented to the public at the upcoming National Youth En- trepreneur Conference to be held this November in Toronto, include the fin- dings that students who have started a venture in school are more likely to choose an entrepreneurial career path and lack of available start-up capital was also found to be the single largest factor in- hibiting student venture growth. -� Stop Rouge Development Says Browes "The Ontario govern- ment should immediately reject a cabinet document which calls for further development in Scar- borough's Rouge River Valley." Pauline Browes, M.P. Scarborough Centre, said last week. Browes was responding to media reports concern- ing a leaked cabinet study which proposes changes to Ontario's environmental protection laws and in- creased development of the Rouge River Valley. '.This document is fur- tber proof that the Provin- cial government is serious- ly considering destroying the only wilderness area in Metro Toronto," said Browes. Browes urged Premier Peterson to reject the study and adopt the recommen- dations of the recently released Interim Report of the Royal Commission on the Future of the Toronto Waterfront. The commis- sion recommended that the province co-operate im- mediately with the federal government in establishing a natural heritage park in the Rouge Valley System. "Ii a Royal Commission, four municipal councils, the federal government and thousands of people from across Metro can con- clude that the Rouge Valley is worth protecting, surely the Premier of Ontario can as well," said Browes. "It is time the Ontario govern- ment took action to save the Rouge." Free Nature Slide Shows di Walks The Federation of On- tario Naturalists offers "Seniors for Nature" slide shows and Nature Walks to seniors' clubs, residences, nursing homes, libraries, churches or seniors' groups. These programs are given by naturalist volunteers. To book a pro- gram call the federation at 444-8419. "It looks state of the art, it even sanetimes ants state of the art. The oahr fXobfera is tfat you gave to sad it had war round aw world for se►viceW Professor Russell M. Knight, who supervised the study, commented that, "This is an important study that helps us understand what forces are motivating students to start businesses on campus." A number of recommen- dations were made at the conclusion of the study. When one wants to promote entrepreneurship to young people it is wise to concen- tate on the self - actualization and the satisfaction generated from meeting a personal challenge, being your own boss and building something. It is important to address the issues that are preven- ting students from starting businesses. The lack of capital available for the start-up of a new venture is a very real problem for students because of their lack of an equity base. This problem is two -fold. First, more capital needs to be made available and se- cond. students have to be educated as to how and where to find and apply for it. Another problem w -as the nature of the student and the priority of education. In the past a tradeoff mentali- ty has existed with the stu- dent operating the business at the expense of his or her educational goals. What rxeds to happen is that business causes have to start realizing the credit value of the practical lear- ning that is occuring out- side of the classroom Courses should be designed to be more recep- tive to extra credit for non- traditional assignments and students should be en- couraged to try to use their businesses for as many academic assignments as possible.

Queen's Park Report from Norah Stoner MPP Durham West Dwrham's Waste Mtereatives On Sept. 13th, the fust public liaison committee meeting of the Durham Waste Management Committee's of the 'Durham Only' option was held. The uxeting was organized by Jack McGinnis and Gail Lawlor, two well known local environmentalists who have been hired by McLaren Engineering. The meeting at the Brooklyn Community Centre was attended by approx- imately 40 people from all the different municipalities within the region. This newly formed committee is to look at a series of op- tions for handling Durham's waste within Durham. The Committee is not looking at importation of waste from Metro Toronto or any of the other Toronto area regions, nor at exporting Drataam's waste elsewhere. Under considera- tion will be waste reduction, recycling and reuse including expanding the blue box. back yard composting central composting. industrial and commercial recycling and household hazardous waste. The committee will also look at the alternatives such as energy from waste and landfill and the criteria for site selection. It was a piesure to see the number of individuals who at- tended the fust meeting and the level of knowledge and con- cern that they brought with them. It was great to see the strong representation present from P.A.C.T. and from Wbitevale. Personally, I felt that it was important to underline the distinct difference between the concept of sending one's garbage "away" to somebody else's backyard as opposed to living with the consequences of ox's waste production within one's community. For me the meeting was also an opportunity to bring comments from Environment Minister Jim Bradley, to those individuals who are concerned about Waste Management. In a speech last week to the Recycling Council of Ontario the minister made the following comments. Ontario's Blue Box Program ..All of us here today can be proud of the creation of OW tario's Blue Box Curbside Recycling Program- With 1 -point -6 million households served by the Blue Box, On- tario's programa is the largest of its kind in North America... Mr. Bradley announced that we were the recipients of an award from the United Nations for our recycling picogram. Internationally, our blue box program has been receiving worldwide interest. He said that several U.S. jurisdiction. including Los Angeles, are applying the Ontario blue box model to go with their waste management problems. In ad- dition, a delegation will arrive here shortly from West Ger- many, France and other European countries to visit On- tario and study our recycling program. Governmental Goals Mr. Bradley commented on the government's goals say- ing, "Our government has committed to divert 25 percent of Ontario's waste from landfill and incineration by 1992, and by 50 percent by the year 2000. To date our success has been achieved through a high level of co-operation, and a major voluntary resource allocation by product and packaging manufacturers in the soft drink industry. This approach has been both efficient and effective. I strongly support its continuance; however, if it is not possible, this government will not hesitate to br- ing in legislation on packaging and waste management that will result in achieving our goals for waste reduction and recycling. " OMMRI i and OMMRI 11 Mr. Bradley indicated how well the OMMRI-1 volunteer program has worked. "A commitment of $20 million over four years 1986 1990 was trade to bring 1.5 million homes onto Blue Box. OMMRI, the Ontario Multi -Material Recycl- ing, Inc., association of soft drink companies and their sup- pliers, has made a significant contribution and has established a model by which we can further advance recycling. We have entered discussions with grocers, their suppliers and newspaper publishers to create OMMRI-11, a new and larger volunteer fund. I expect to receive their plan of ac- tion next month. Decisions must be made. I expect to see the OMMRI-11 program ready to assume and expand the Report from Ottawa from Rend Soetens MP Ontario Riding In a recent article, I dealt with the reasons why we need to replace the current Federal Sales Tax and with the fact that the new Goods and Services Tax will be "revenue neutral". This week, I would like to outline the effect of the GST on imports and exports. The GST is a tax on Canadian consumer's expenditures. To insure that foreign suppliers do not have an advantage compared to their Canadian competitors, the GST will app- ly to the import of goods and services. The GST on imported goods will be collected at the same time as customs duties are collected and will be payable on the duty and excise paid value of goods. The GST will not apply to the importa- tions of prescription drugs, medical devices and basic groceries. In addition, relief will be provided for a number of miscellaneous items. Tax will also be applied to services imported into Canada. This will ensure that there is no competitive disadvantage to domestic suppliers of similar items. For example, if a Canadian bank hired a Canadian architect to design a building in Canada, the architect would be required to charge GST on the services provided. A foreign architect doing the same work, would not be required to pay the GST. However. in such a case, the bank would be required to pay the tax on the services, thereby denying the foreign ar- chitect of any competitive advantage. Since the GST is meant to apply only to the consumption of goods and services in Canada, supplies made in Canada that are exports will not be subject to the tax. In addition, to relieve exports of any sales tax content. Canadian ex- porters will be allowed to claim input tax credits in respect of any tax paid or payable on purchases of goods and ser- vices relating to their commercial activities. Such -zero- rated- exports will include goods, intellectual property (patents, designs, trademarks, etc.) and services. Charities will be entitled to a full rebate of the GST paid on goods acquired and exported for charitable purposes. The current Federal Sales Tax damages com- petitiveness. favours imports over Canadian -made goods and distorts consumer choices. After reviewing the GSTs effect on imports and exports, I believe it is clear why the adoption of the GST is a step toward securing Canada's con- tinued prosperity. On Sun. Sept. 10th, Pickering Museum Village celebrated its tenth anniversary. capping off its History in Action Weekend. It was certainly tough judging the various food entries. as I needed to sample several of them twice. Cow gratulations to the volunteers and town of Pickering for making the Pickering Museum Village possible. It was a pleasure to be invited to the announcement of the Ajax -Pickering General Hospital Fund Raising Campaign. Pickering and Ajax proved once again that cormnu ruty spirit is alive in Ontario Riding, as they rallied to raise the $7 million base figure so quickly. Even though the base figure has been reached. I urge everyone to continue to con- tribute to this worthwhile cause, so that the hospital can af- ford those extras which it will obviously require. work of OMMRI-1 by the beginning of 1990.' 1.6 million households are now using Blue Box recycling and Mr. Bradley hopes that with OMMRI-11. we will bring three million households onto Blue Box recycling, including apartments and condominiums. Composting "I expect the OMMM-11 effort to support composting, given that a significant amount of the cornpostable waste stream is generated from food and kitchen waste. I am not asking industry to pick up 100 percent of the cost, since much of the compostables are generated by yard and garden wastes. Two-thirds of the costs will be borne by the municipality and provincial government. Each of us has a responsibility for the wastes we generate. For our part, the provincial government is exploring ways to expand waste reduction and recycling within its own agencies. The On- tario Round Table on Environment and Economy, which reports to the Premier, has identified recycling as a high government priority." Mr. Bradley indicated that newspaper publishers have a responsibility for the thousands of tons of newspapers they distribute around the province daily. Developing :Markets Mr. Bradley said he subscribes to the view of a "Take back policy", meaning that if you produce it, after it is us- ed, you must, as an industry, be responsible for taking it back, or bringing it back into a useful resource recycling stream. He also said that we need to develop markets for using the recycled resources. In the last several years, the supply has been greatly ex- panded, and made secure by hundreds of municipal recycl- ing programs. The challenge is to match demand with the ballooning supply," Mr. Bradley commented. "The im- balance can lead to temporary disruptions. These should not scare us away from the task at hand. No business worth its debt-to-equity ratio will invest millions of dollars in plastics or paper recycling equipment unless both the supp- ly and end product demand is there." Mr. Bradley com- mented that industry has a responsibility for the en- vironmental fate of its own products and packaging. "Newspaper publishers have a responsibility for the thousands of tons of newspapers they distribute around the province daily." The Minister said "the government is stu- dying other North American government procurement policies with a view of modifying our purchasing policies in favour of products containing recycled materials." "I am personally committed, as is the Premier, to reduc- ing and recycling Ontario's garbage glut by half before the turn of the century. It can and will be done," Mr. Bradley said.
