You are invited to Answers From The Library Question: Did Cupid shoot more than one type of arrow? J. W. Answer: Cupid had two types of arrows. The first were golden. Ac- cording to legend, someone shot with one of these arrows would fall in love. The other set of arrows were lead and caused fear and repulsion. Cupid is the god of love in Roman mythology. His greek counterpart is Eros. Although early works of art show him as a young boy or a youth, Cupid is often depicted as a cherubic baby boy with an innocent face. His wings repre- sent love's fleeting nature. The rose is an appropriate symbol of the mischievous nature of Cupid Eros. The sweet-smelling rose has sharp thorns just as Cupid's ability to inspire love is offset by his use of lead arrows. The poet Ovid gives an example of this in his work Metamorphoses. Apollo, the Greek god of ar- chery among other things, had teased Cupid about carrying a weapon more suitable for a man. Cupid wounded his tormentor with a gold arrow, causing him to fall in love with the nymph Daphne. Cupid then shot Daphne with a leaden arrow, and she refused her suitor's affections. Apollo would not relent. Daphne finally asked her father for help, and he transformed her into a laurel tree. Apollo declared that the tree should always be green and took laurel leaves as a sacred symbol. Serving the Community for 24 Years! Local Campus Spotlighted by Diane Matheson On Wed.

Oct. 4, 1989 Opinion a page for expression for you and us _ 101010001010 Freedom Of Expression by Bob Watson Freedom of expression and freedom of the press are be- ing put on the chopping block by Finance Minister Michael Wilson with his Goods and Services Tax (GST), and we believe it is time for all Canadians to rise up in anger and fight for freedom from oppression by our ridiculous federal government. Can you imagine a 9% GST tax on every newspaper sold? Think of the bookkeeping for just 30 cents for this newspaper! Every classified ad worth $7 will result in another tax bite - and all of this means massive bookkeep- ing for each and every newspaper in the country. Not every Canadian realizes that since Canada was form- ed in 1867 newspapers have been exempt from sales taxes because of the principle of "freedom of the press". No government is supposed to have any control over the press in order to preserve - freedom of expression via the press! But Michael Wilson and his irresponsible bass, Brian Mulroney, have decided to suppress the press - and the book publishing business and all will get the outrageously high cost of collecting this ridiculous GST tax. It wouldn't be too bad if the PC government had moved the 13.5% manufacturing sales tax to the retail level and still only taxed items which were manufactured in this country. But this expensive tax will be applied to everything - health bills. your electric uses, your bank ac- counts - in fact. everything that moves! The cost of collecting this GST tax and remitting it to the government will cost hundreds of millions of dollars to private enterprise, which will have to put that cost on the price of products or services. This ends up adding to infla- tion' Mr. Wilson and his Brian Mulroney buddy are also to be nice to the poor ( under $40.000 a year families) . They are going to hire thousands more civil servants so that cheques can be written out and sent out to counteract the cost to the poor' Another big and inefficient cost to running our federal government! And this finance minister, Michael Wilson. has been giving us budgets for some time now which spend some SM billion more each year than what the government takes in. .No. the answer is that we must all pay more in taxes to reduce the national debt - and we don't mean just the cur- rent yearly debt - we mean the over $300 billion owing from previous administrations! So let us collect taxes which are fau to all and have the least impact an the market place. We are talking about in- come taxes. Toronto Liberal MP Dennis Mills is advocating a 25% income tax with no exemptions which will handle the deficit each year and begin the bag job of wiping off the debt of the past. The 25% income tax would require no more private enterprise costs and would not need any more civil servants at Ottawa. The secondary line of attack is to reduce all government serines which are unnecessary such as multicultural grants by the millions to orgamza- tions which are quite capable of funding their own projects. We all know we must pay more to wipe out the deficit at Ottawa but for goodness sake let's be sensible about how we do it. And remember freedom of the press is essential if we don't want to join the communist world' Let's Keep Our FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION ...................:::::........................................

Hvdro's Purchases Of Materials and Services Major contracts awarded by Ontario Hydro for the month of July totalled over $15 million. The largest contract, worth almost $4 million, went to Microtel limited in Markham for the purchase of a microwave radio system. The network will be used to incorporate the new Clarkson System Con- trol Centre in Mississauga into Hydro's southern Ontario microwave system. The station to station microwave com- munication system is needed for the daily operation of the power system. The second largest purchase was for aluminum conduc- tor, to be used in the transmission of power throughout the province. The conductor, worth $3.7 million, will be provid- ed by Willowdale's Alcan Wire & Cable. On The Road Have you ever noticed other drivers and how they react to driving? Recently we noticed a woman driving a nice new car with a little blonde child in the front right sat and a red haired youngster in the back. The mother didn't take off right away at intersections with the light because she was fussing with the blonde child. She didn't put her indicator on for a left turn because of her concentration on this same child. We know that many mothers who are working and handling a couple of children have many things on their minds, but when driving a car concentration on the road is very important - both to them as well as others! Sign On Car Window Seen on the back of a car were these words - "Don't Steal! The government hates competition!" Attention Mulroney Earlier this fall, Prime Minister Brian Mulroney made na- tional headlines with a comment that Canadian education was failing to keep pace with technological needs. That pro- mpted Jim Head, president of the 40,000 member Ontario Secondary School Teachers' Federation, to respond on behalf of teachers across the country. These were his comments to the prime minister. Dear Prime Minister: Your recent condemnation of Canadian education, widely quoted in the media, both hurt and confused many of our members at a time of year when they would like to re-enter the classroom with a sense of purpose and renewed en- thusiasm. As the president of the Ontario Secondary School Teachers' Federation, which represents 40,000 members, I also found your remarks confusing. 1. Your government fervently supports increased immigra- tion. Yet, by reducing transfer payments to the provinces, you make it more difficult to provide extra funding for bad- ly needed English -as -a -second -language resources and teachers. 2. You speak of the need to encourage technology in Canada. Yet it was an earlier Conservative government which axed the Avro-Arrow space program 30 years ago and made this country a bystander in electronics. 3. You speak of the need for more research in this country. Yet I note that Northern Telecom is moving to Texas because of your government's free trade policies. 4. You speak about the importance of education. Yet the proposed 9% national sales tax will have a significant negative effect upon education through extra hidden costs which parents and students will have to bear. Hardest hit will be single parents and their children. 5. A federal government which seriously believed in en- couraging the highest possible standards would help establish a Canadian equivalent of the Massachusetts In- stitute of Technology ( MIT) in each province. 6. How often have you taken the time to visit schools like Marc Garneau Secondary School in Metropolitan Toronto ( East York) which is named for our well-known Canadian astronaut and which encourages student interest in space technology? I could point out scores of similar examples of excellence throughout this entire province. Your remarks, sir, sound like a smoke screen for a move to cut back on public funding for education while moving towards privatization of the education system, following Margaret Thatcher's lead. Surely, students and parents across this country deserve better than that. Yours truly. Jim Bead, President, Ontario Secondary• School Teachers' Federation :..................... ............... .................... Wounded In Action A special study by Statistics Canada in cooperation with worker compensation boards across Canada looked at on the job injuries which were serious enough to involve com- pensation and time off. Here are some highlights from the study. covering the years 1982 to 1986. Highest rates of serious wort injuries occurred in the forestry, construction and manufacturing industries. Forestry and logging caused the most injuries for male workers: machining and processing operations caused the most injuries for females. For men in forestry and logging operations, the rate of in- jury was 198 for each 1,000 male workers. For women, there was an injury rate of 113 per 1,000 females in machining and 107 per 1,000 in processing operations. The back and the hands were the most frequently injured parts of the body in all the accidents studied. On average, 54 workers out of every 1,000 were injured each year. Men were more than three times as likely as women to be injured on the job (77 males per 1,000 workers against 23 females per 1,000) . Highest rate of these work injuries occurred among young males age 20 to 24, at an average of 102 injuries per 1,000 workers each year. Work injuries among male workers declined substantial- ly with age. 'here was no similar decline for female workers. The single most frequent source of injury in all incidents studied involved the working surface - floors, steps, ramps, sidewalks, the ground or a roof.

IM Bill Watt's Worlds ON STAGE: Ever since we began this column of review of the leisure arts, we have in- sisted that we are a reviewer, not a critic. Our function is to report on arts and entertainment in such a way that our readers might more easily and ac- curately determine the disposition of their leisure time and disposable dollars. With that as preamble, let us address The Phantom of the Opera. Through the considera- tion of the Cineplex Odeon :live Entertainment Divi- sion, we were able to delay our attendance at the Toronto production in the splendidly restored Pan- tages Theatre until last Saturday evening after much of the initial hoopla, for want of a better term, had diminished. What will you see, hear and experience with The Phantom? Quite simply. an evening of theatre that you will recall and treasure for the rest of your life: the kind of theatre not really seen since the glory days at the turn of the century. You will see a scene from a full scale opera presented as comic value in the plot development. you will see a boat being propelled across a mist enshrouded lake below the opera house: you will see a magnificent shattered chandelier reassembled on stage and flown to the roof of The Pantages only to fall and shatter again: you will see The Phantom appear- ing out of seeming nowhere over the proscenium arch, from behind a roof top statue, from a graveyard wall .. You'll see all of that and a score more of special effects. You will hear fine singing by the entire cast but par- ticularly Byron Nease as the romantic lead, Rhonda Liss as an enigmatic ballet mistress, Donna Rubin as her spritely daughter and Paul Massel in his role of impressario. You'll hear superb sing- ing by Rebecca Caine, the ingenue and Lyse Gu6rin as a comic diva. You will hear magnifi- cent singing by Colm Wilkinson as The Phantom. The gentleman can hit and sustain high notes that recall those of Gigli and present them with the in- tensity of a Leonard War- ren. It would probably be overblown to suggest that his singing voice is the best legitimate theatre one of the century but we suggest it is the best to come along since that of the much under rated Harve Presnell. The score while. in the manner of Andrew Lloyd Webber• not notably filled with melody is lush and the orchestra does full justice to the orchestrations of Mr. Webber and David Cullen. The always reliable direction of Harold Prince is in abundant evidence and we can thirds of no higher praise. �i �# Around and About Your Dining &Entertainment Guide As always, we rail against the constraint of available space and our in- ability to mention each ;member of the cast and production crew; perhaps it will suffice that we could not see anywhere that im- provement is necessary or even possible. How can we conclude? How can we best sum up the power of this produc- tion: a production that can, should, must be seen again and yet again? Well, we ask you to hum in your mind's ear, the opening phrases of Music of the Night. Do you feel that it is more familiar than would seem to be the case for a show written just a few years ago' Hum it again. Now hum it just a bit faster. Now, you've got it! You've realized that Mr. Webber has borrowed, pro- bably unconsciously, the melody of Gus Edwards' School Days. Now, recall one of the phrases: Dear Old Golden Rule Days. Mr. Webber has now firmly established himself as the Golden Ruler of Theatre. The Pantages which houses this Phantom of the Opera is a golden theatre. AT THE OPERA: It seemed all of a piece that we should see the Canadian Opera Company's production of Verdi's Un Ballo in Maschera at The O'Keefe in the same week as The Phantom even though the only obvious comparison between the two works is the importance of masks to the plot development. We're glad that we saw it before Mons. P. rather than after because truly, anything else pales, much in the manner of coming in- to daylight after a matin6e performance. That's unfortunate because the C.O.C.'s Un Ballo is quite a lavish pro- duction itself though admit- tedly, that should not be one's only criterion of worth. The singing and ac- ting are what carats and using them as bench marks. Un Ballo is suc- cessful with this lesser of Verdi's works. Allow us a slight digres- sion in pointing out that the casting of this production is another example of the fact that tradition over talent has always been traditional in the world of opera. Gustavus, the King of Sweden, is played by the Japanese tenor Taro Ichihara making his com- pany debut. We hope he will return many times. His voice is best described as rich and mellow. One sup- poses it is capable of sweetness but the king's role does not demand it. It demands authority and gets it from Mr. Ishihara. Black soprano Leona Mitchell returns after her triumphant Aida in 1996 to play his amour. Her's is a majestic presence that none the less can bespeak the confusion of a woman torn between love and loyalty. Even so, her voice is such that she could lend authority to the role were she merely to sing it in recital. Hungarian baritone La - jos Miller (we suspect Miller is Melanchuk) plays the role of Anckarstroem, the king's confidante and husband of the king's illicit love. An on stage an- nouncement before the third act advised that Mr. Miller was suffering a throat problem but it was undetectable to our ear. We thought his singing and ac- ting just fine. The gentleman must set himself a high standard in- deed. The role of Oscar. the page is played by Black soprano Harolyn Blackwell who is quite a scene stealer 11'x'`.YL 1 Lotten-r funds help people with disabilities.

She is a dainty little thing with a voice of authority and a presence that attracts. Now then, the role of Madame Arvidson, ]a negresse, is played by the English contralto Muala Willis. Regular readers will be aware of our love of contraltos and the love af- fair continues after hearing Miss Willis. Among the many com- pany debuts in this produc- tion were those of John Greer as chorus master and John More as conduc- tor. Both were successful in _their tasks. And, Un Ballo in Maschera is also suc- cessful, even in tandem with The Phantom. DINNER THEATRE: Meanwhile, the reliable Limelight Dinner Theatre is celebrating the silver jubilee of Hello Dolly with a solid gold production. The sets are truly elegant and Director Adolf Toman has had the lap stage ex- tended to surround the "or- chestra seating". The result is that the per- formers strut right out into the audience during the production numbers. And yes, Dolly makes her famous second act en- trance down a staircase - the same one that the au- dience uses -and through a line of uniformed waiters. Stunningly simplistic and simply stuaning. None Griffin is Dolly and she plays her with rather more class than the role usually receives. There's even a touch of an English accent. Her voice is not strong but it's true and in the dance numbers she swings -as P.G. Wodebouse might have said -a dashed efficient foot. William Lyn plays Vandergelder (one wonders how many recogtn.ze the humour in the name), the reluctant target of Dolly's marital manipulation with suitable bluster. If one has a dinscer- ning ear, his rine singing voice stands out in the choral numbers. Debora Joy is enchanting as Mrs. Molloy, the milliner though her singing voice is frequently so sharp as to be almost off key. Jonathan Whittaker is Hackl, her beau and sings even better than he acts. That's not damning with faint praise. Young Mark Bellamy, five o'clock shadow and all, dances well as the juvenile lead and is nicely counter- pointed by the gamin, Liz Gilroy. The orchestra under the direction of Robert Ashley is just right and is well served by Sound Techni- cian Rob St. Germain. Being so close to the au- dience, the costumes have to be more than simply pro- ducts of stage craft and in- deed they are. The materials in the gowns are sumptuous, the styling im- peccable and the over all - poor choice of words -effect, stunning. We most certainly recommend this pleasurable production of Hello Dolly!

Team spirit and a sense of belonging to a strongly competitive, progressive and growing club will be top priority in all groups. Most returning com- petitors will find a refreshing new face and at- titude, directing their daily workout. Returning seniors will carry on with Darin, who took over their program part way through last season. Heather Palmateer and Sean Perreira, National qualifiers, will be working towards the Winter Na- tionals which will be held in Feburary 1990 at the Canada Games Pool in Saskatoon. Achieving na- tional qualifying times will be the train goal of all Darin's squad. Bob Boadway's Age - Groupers are experienced 10 to 14 -year olds with Pro- vincial Championship qualifying times as their first goal. Joining the veterans of this group is a recently arrived Hong Kong 13 -year old, Prudence Cheung who will be tripling her training time with her new Scarborough team. Age -Groupers swim five times per week for one and one half hour sessions in the afternoon, plus three early morning workouts. Steve is working with teens of varied swimming experience and skill. Some of Steve's swimmers will be aiming to improve to the level of Darin's Senior squad and others want to qualify for high school and provincial championship teams. The club's General Development groups, the largest squads, is where it all begins for a promising swimming hopeful. Coaches in this group teach the competitive skills, in- crease the stamina of all swimmers and prepare them for promotion to the more demanding age - group training Program. Bob will keep his eye on this group eager to pro- mote the top talent to the senior squad. The first club meet on the agenda this season will be Scarborough's own Spookfest Meet to be held Oct. 21st, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Laurier Pod. Several clubs from Metro and outlying regions have confirmed an entry of over 300 swimmers already. The Neighbourhood Swim Club, closely con- nected to Scarborough Swim Club and supported by the coaching staff, of - fors a promotional pro- gram, teaching com- petitive swimming at five city pools. The Olympic Way pro- gram started last week at Cedarbrae, West Hill, Pearson, Mowat and Stephen Leacock pools with two one-hour lessons per week over ten weeks. Registration for this pro- gram can be done at the pool at lesson time. Contact the Scarborough Swim Club office, 266-4531, Mon- day to Thursday, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m for days and times.

Oct. 4,190 travel Barbados Arts Scene Has Plenty To Offer Much more than a Carib- bean get -away, Barbados is the centre of a flourishing arts scene which offers visitors a cultural escape. Many local dance perfor- mances, plays, concerts and annual festivals aren't traditional stops along the sightseeing trail, but travellers who do venture along these paths are cer- tain to gain an insightful loot into Bajan culture. For its size, Barbados hosts a surprising number of ar- tists, and avenues for Ba- jan artistic expression are even more numerous. And in fact, music, drama and dance events, and cultural festivals are plentiful throughout the island's yearly calendar of events. The National In- dependence Festival of Creative Arts ( ti IFCA) . a month-long celebration in November. marks the country's independence. Bajans of all ages match talents in music, drama, dance and literary com- petition A visual arts and handicraft exhibition is also featured. The festival culminates on In- dependence :dight with a gala night at Flank Col- lymore Hall, the main cen- tre for organized entertain- ment on the island. City bights offers a series of performances by local artists in the areas of classical, jazz, calypso, gospel and folk music, drama and dance. The series, now in its fourth year, mris from Nov. 23-26 and Dec. 1-3 and provides first class entertainment for the whole family. Folk and popular theatre using Bajan material has become quite popular with both locals and visitors, while the dinner theatre scene is more appealing to travellers who thoroughly enjoy the unique combina- tion of culture, comedy and exceptional cuisine these venues offer. The colourful folk dance drama "1627 and all that" presents an entertaining look at Bajan history, costume and tradition while the equally popular "Barbados. Barbados" ex- plores the customs and habits of the Barbadian people through a hilarious "audience participation" twist. Barbados is an ideal place to collect unique crafts and wares. hand designed by the island's talented artisans. In Tem- ple Yard in Bridgetown a wide variety of gifts made frombamboo, wire, coconut husks. shells, clay and leather can be found. The nearby Pelican village features exquisite bouti- ques. galleries and curio shops while Chalky Mount in St. Andrew is home to the island's renowned clay potters. And any traveller to the island cannot miss "Walker's World" when Jill Walker's famous land- scape prints are displayed. Casa Loma Celebrates Its 75th. Anniversary One of Toronto's most visually spectacular tourist attractions is celebrating its 75th anniversary this year. Quite a milestone for Canada's only authentic castle. Seventy-five years ago. Canadian financier and Royalist, Sir Henry Mill Pellatt, dreamed of • building a home that would combine tradition, grandeur. romance. and technology on a totally lavish scale. He realized his dream in the construc- tion of Casa Loma - "the castle on the hill". Construction on Casa Loma began in 1911, and by the time the castle was completed in 1914. Pellatt's lavish home had cost him well over $4 million. One architectural critic of that time described it as a mixture of "17th century Scotch baronial and 20th Century Fox". Pellatt liked to thunk that his 96 room dwelling embodied the best of a magnificent castle on the Rhine and a millionaire's home in Best Of Two Worlds In Valley Hike Nature and art en- thusiasts can combine their interests when the Kor- tright Centre for Conserva- tion and the McMichael Canadian Art Collection present the Humber Valley Day Hike on Sunday and Monday of Thanksgiving Weekend.

Afterwards, the group accompanies the naturalist back to the Kor- tright Centre. The hike is recommend- ed for people eight years of age or older.

Denver, Colorado. Casa Loma contained 96 [rooms, 3 bowling alleys, 30 bathrooms ( some with gold-plated fixtures), telephones, a kitchen stove large enough to cook a whole steer and 3,000 elec- tric lights. It was then the only castle in the world that could boast an electrically operated elevator and an indoor swimming pool - Not long after the Pellatt family moved into their palatial surroundings, Sir Henry was confronted with major financial dif- ficulties. Despite all of his accumulated wealth, Casa Loma's creator could not prevent his empire's finan- cial demise. This was to cause him forfeiture of his million dollar home to the City of Toronto in 19¢4. In 1936, the Kiwanis Club of West Toronto began renovating Casa Loma in order to operate it as a tourist attraction. Since that time, it has remained the flagship fundraising enterprise of this social service advocacy group, with proceeds from the public use of Casa Iona going to a multitude of charitable organizations in Toronto. Casa Loma is currently undergoing a multimillion dollar renovation program. The renovations are part of a comprehensive plan to restore the 86,500 square foot castle to its former glory - Scheduled to be com- pleted in 1998, the ten year pian includes maintenance and upgrading in the areas of roofing, electrical, mechanical, exterior stone and brick work, the kit- chen, fin safety system, the swimming pool, the stables and the castle's pot- ting armed. To complement these renovations, the Garden Club of Toronto undertook a similarily challenging project. In 1987, at a cost in excess of $1 million, this Toronto charitable organization initiated a plan aimed at redeveloping the six acres of grounds surrounding Casa Loma. Since then, significant improvements have been made. Visitors will ap- preciate the beautification and landscape artistry which have noticeably enhanced the castle's up- per and lower terrace and all of its surrounding gra. Four hundred thousand tourists now pass through Casa Loma annually. Many formal weddings, recep- tions and dances are held at the castle, and in recent years, it has been used as a location for many Toronto film shoots. It costs over $60,000 to operate Casa Loma. Casa Loma employs a staff of 50 who assist in its daily ac- tivities and operations under the watchful eye of Howard Muchnick, the cas- tle's general manager. Casa Loma is open seven days a week from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. It is situated at Davenport and Spadina and is accessible by the Du- pont subway station. Ad- mission to the castle is $6 for adults. $3 for children and seniors; children soder 7 years old are ad- mitted free.

TIME Q 416 291-7733 TIME MAGAZINE � QUALITY DEALER AWARD WINNER ,Serving Scarborough Since 1952 Business Community News Accounting Profession Needs Change The accounting profes- sion is in need of an overhaul. That was the thrust of a news item announcing the release of a discussion paper by the Certified General Accountants' Association of Canada on the future Canadian ac- counting profession in a globalized economy. For many readers and listeners of this news story, the impact of the statement probably didn't warrant a second thought. After all an accountant is an accoun- tant is an accountant. Right? Well not quite. There are three different types of accountants in Canada: Chartered Ac- countants (CAs ), Certified General Accountants 4 CGAs) and Certified Management Accountants ( CMAs) . Restrictions in some provinces prevent all accountants from being equal even though all ac- countants receive their designations from self- regulating professional bodies with equal and very high standards of educa- tion. And this is where the CGA -Canada task force report comes in. It is exact- ly these restrictions - or in- terprovincial barriers to mobility - that hamper Canadian business from being competitive in a world economy that is in- creasingly dependent upon the free flow of goods and services. These internal barriers are just the least bit ironic in the age of Canada's free trade with the United States and the creation of a single European market by the end of 1992. In some provinces - namely Ontario and Quebec - restrictions re- main that prevent all ac- countants from providing full auditing services. Com- petition between accoun- ting services is in the public's long term interest. Another area that goes against the public's in- terest is the setting of ac- counting standards - the bi- ble by which accountants operate. These are set by one group, the Canadian In- stitute of Chartered Ac- countants. In other parts of the world - even in nations with more than one accoun- ting body - accounting stan- dards are set by a combina- tion of accountants, people outside of the accounting profession as well as users of financial services.

Borough of East York transformed an underutilized department store warehouse at the junction of Lawrence Ave. W. and the Allen Ex- pressway into an attrac- tive, 800.000 square foot shopping centre office complex with a four storey, glass -topped atrium. "lawrence Square cap- tures the tradition of Bur- nac development activity - that is, recycling and value-added development to high standards of quah- ty " says Theodore ( Ted ) Burnett, President of Bur- nac Leaseholds. sumac utilized the basic skeletal structure of the warehouse and added on to it to accommodate the specific needs of its major retail tenants. "The advantage of recycling the existing structure was most noticeable in the huge floor area that was available for office tenants." says Mr. Burnett. "We were able to offer prospective tenants up to 150,000 square feet of space on one floor if they wanted it." While no single tenant has committed to a whole floor, Bur nac Leaseholds has leased -out over 95 per- cent of the office space available a year ahead of schedule. Office tenants in- clude The Bay, the Cana- dian Imperial Bank of Commerce, The Ministry of Housing. Canada Post, Pepsi Cola and other na- tional organizations. The office space environ- ment is enhanced through the view into the atrium and the natural light that floods down the four storeys to the shopping cen- tre floor. Mr. Burnett says that of- fice workers will not only be served by the major stores in the mall, Cana- dian Tire, Zellers and Loblaws, but also by the 100 specialty retailers that have taken space in the Gets Award Wed.

Pickering'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 Gardex decided by age. 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. The yearly cost is $30 per girl and this covers all instruction, costumes and most travelling costs. If you are interested in becoming a member of the dance group call 683-9223. Queen's Park Report from Norah Stoner MPP Durham West Financial Institutions Minister Murray Elston recently unveiled the new Ontario Motorist Protection Plan that will be introduced in legislation this fall, with implementation scheduled for 1990. Higher insurance rates will be addressed through in- surance product reform, and a series of initiatives dealing with accident prevention and consumer protection that will help stabilize the rates in years to come. The many initiatives will involve the ministries of Transportation, Consumer and Commercial Relations, the Attorney General, the Solicitor General, Community and Social Services, Health, and Financial Institutions. Initatives will focus on safe driving and will include greater OPP enforcement; increased fines for speeding and other traffic offences; tough penalties for drunk drivers; public education campaigns on seat -belt usage and Report from Ottawa from Rend Soetens MP Ontario Riding ... ,.:�; .... On Jan. 1st, 1991 the Goods and Services Tax is slated to be implemented. While the government is steadfastly prepared to keep its schedule, it is the job of the Standing Committee on Finance to propose possible amendments to the workings of the GST. As a member of the Finance Com- mittee, I have the opportunity to meet with citizen groups, organizations and individuals from across Canada who are concerned with the impact of the GST on Canadians. Once all the groups have been heard from, the Committee will draft a report suggesting possible amendments to the GST, constructed from the direct input of concerned Canadians. After only two days of hearings, a large number of groups have presented their recommendations to the Finance Committee. On Sept. 19th, the committee heard from the Canadian Federation of Independent Business, the Cana- dian Restaurant and Foodservices Association, Conference Board of Canada, National Council of Welfare, Peat Mar- wick, Canadian Bar Association and the National Voluntary Organizations. The Canadian Bankers' Association, the Trust Companies Association of Canada, Canadian Cooperative Credit Society, the Canadian Life and Health Insurance Association and the Insurance Bureau of Canada are just some of the groups who made presentations on Sept. 20th. Of the groups mentioned above, only the Canadian Federation of Independent Business stood in total opposi- tion to the GST. The remainder of the groups applauded the government for having the fortitude to replace the outdated Federal Sales Tax, regardless of the political conse- quences. These groups have, however, made recommenda- tions to the content of the GST. The suggestions have generally been to broaden the tax base by ridding such tax exempt items as basic groceries and eliminating the GST credit to low and modest income Canadian. The combined effect of these proposals would result in a lower GST percentage rate. Of cause the best place for me to receive input on the GST is in Ontario Riding. On Wed. Sept. With, the Ontario Riding Small Business Caucus held a seminar on the GST in Ajax. Tom Hockin, Minister of State for Small &sines, along with representatives from the Department of Finance were on hand to answer any questions. I am confi- dent that all those in attendance found the seminar infor- mative and i assure them that their concern were understood and will be brought forward at the drafting of the Finance Committee's report. My office has been receiving a flood of questionnaire responses on both government spending and abortion. In just three days I have received over 900 completed ques- tionnaires. I am delighted by the response to what I believe to be a valuable exercise in measuring the beliefs of the residents of Ontario Riding. "daytime rimming lights"; promotional efforts to en- courage workplace driver safety. The government's "ghost car" program to deter body shop "ripoffs" will be expanded. The practice of "tied - selling" ( making the sale of one insurance product can- brigent an the sale of another) will be prohibited Monthly billing will also be mandated as a consumer option - insurance companies will have to give consumers a nummu m 30 day notice of policy changes or cancellations. Disclosure requirements will be expanded and insurers will be required to establish anti -fraud programs. A new Insurance Commission will be given strong in- vestigative and enforcement powers to regulate rates, mediate disputes and ensure that prompt and adequate benefits are delivered Guaranteed accident benefits will be available to all Io- jured victims - whether "at fault" or not. ( People convicted of drinking and driving offences, however, will not be eligi- ble for incomue replacement.) Compensation levels will be substantially higher, and, for the first time, benefits will be provided to students, retirees and the unemployed. Homemakers will receive improved compensation in the new plan. Insurance companies will be required to offer optional in- surance for additional accident benefit protection. As well, the right to sue will be maintained in cases of serious injury where fault can be demonstrated. Deterrence will be the key component of the new system. Fault will continue to be used for rating purposes, and bad driving will result in higher insurance premiums. Without product reform, premium increases would have been 30-35 percent for most motorists when controls expire next year. The new plan will hold premium increases to very moderate levels in its first year of operation. The govern- ment expects that premiums will rise by no more than eight percent on average in urban areas, and average rates for motorists in rural areas will not increase at all. The Ministry of Financial Institutions has provided an in- formation booklet on The Ontario Motorist Protection Plan and you can pick up a copy at the Constituency Office or call 683-6707 and we will mail you a copy.
