Answers From The Library
Question:
What is the difference between an equinox and a solstice?
J. M.
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.

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.

Auto Insurance Reforms
Attorney General Ian Scott will introduce legislation this
fall designed to implement the tort reform initiatives an-
nounced by the Attorney General in February of this eyar.
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."
Rural, Recreational real estate experiencing
healthy activity
Waterfront properties and rural residential homes, lots
and acreage across Ontario are experiencing healthy levels
of activity, according to Sue Cumberland, Manager, Town
and Country Properties, Royal LePage Real Estate Ser-
vices Ltd.
"Market conditions have levelled from the boom condi-
tions of recent years, but not with the same intensity ex-
perienced in Toronto. In fact, real estate activity in many
rural recreational areas can still be described as brisk,"
says Cumberland. "Values have increased at least 10-15
percent and much more in some sectors since our last
survey was published in early 1989.

it is time for all
municipalities to look after
their own leaves.
Metro wants to use 30 to
40 acres on Beare Rd. for
composting. But Scar-
borough politicians fear it
is the first step in Metro
putting another landfill site
in the northeast. "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.
The Cities of Etobicoke
and North York plan to
compost their own leaves.
Scarborough is expected to
produce about 4,000 tons of
leaves this fall.

TME ROYALS:
Stands the church clock
at ten to three? And is there
honey still for tea? Rupert
Brooke.
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.
CLASS ACTS:
Ruth Morawetz'
Classical Cabaret begins
its 10th anniversary season
on Sun. Oct. 1st with a
special theme show, Euro-
pean Cabaret.
Soprano Shawna Farrell
and vox pop artiste
Taborah Johnson will pre-
sent works by Weill,
Rossini. Thad Jones ( Thad
Jones?), Porter, Gershwin
and a host of others.
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.
ON RECORD:
The album is titled I
Need a Rhythm, the per-
formers are The 28th St.

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.

Canadian Wins Transam
by Jerry Hudson
The last motor -racing of
the season at Mosport, the
Rothmans Trans -Am
Weekend, saw what is
perhaps the best racing of
the year. 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.

was marred by crashes and
two restarts. 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. The race
was won by Claude Bour-

West Hill's Lee Hobbs

Hobbs to DNF for a third

rare and endangered
waterfowl, the roseate
spoonbill. One-third of the
world's population of
spoonbills resides at this

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.

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.
