Teacher To Be Honoured A newspaper article heralding "Teachers' Night with the Argos., was discussed by board members. The night is a result of the success of the Toronto Sun's Teacher of the Year contest which began in 1986. Winning teachers for 1989 will be honoured at the Argos' last game of the regular season to be held November 4,1989 at the SkyDome. Jane Crosbie, teacher at Dr. Robert Thornton PS, is one of the teachers to be honoured. She was nominated last year by her two grade 8 classes. All educators, students and parents are invited to at- tend the game to show praise and support for the teachers of Ontario.

To celebrate the day one of the buildings on the hospital grounds was turn- ed into a train ride adven- ture of the hospital's history. • %t_7t7-?00, wo l� Page' -'71111E NEVI'S POST Wed. (k•t. =.5, 1989 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Language Rights by Bob Watson Premier David Peterson seems to be a little mixed up about rights in our country. First of all he backs the Meech Lake Agreement even though it says that Quebec is "special" - meaning we presume that the rest of us are not. Our Ontario premier then doesn't protest when the Quebec Premier rules that in his province English signs cannot be used' Now Peterson is converting Ontario into a bilingual pro- vince with all the costs of issuing press releases in both languages and having French language judges. The premier is quoted as saying: "My God, if this country can't stand for minority rights and express some compassion to its minorities, what do we stand for?" he asked. The premier added that he will not change his mind or be swayed by public reaction or demonstrations. OK David how about attacking Quebec for its lack of English language rights. That GST Tax Dear Editor Brian Mulroney's tax on goods and services won't bring the federal government any more money? So says Michael Wilson. Yet the tax on electricity in Ontario alone will bring them over half -a -billion dollars from this previously untax- ed necessity. Now Otto Jelinek says he'll need almost 4,000 new collec- tors to collect the same amount of money. There seems to be room for some correction. Brian Mulroney should try %ot taxing electricity. In other countries with a value added tax, they have recognized electricity as a necessity. D. Carl Anderson Chairman Municipal Electric .kesociation Let's Keep Our FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION Kill the Goods & Services Tax Premier Must Make Rouge Provincial Park The Rouge River Valley lands, like the waterfront lands, must be protected forever as a "people place.. says Andy Brandt, leader of the Ontario Progressive Conservative Party. in calling on the provincial government to designate the Valley a provincial park. And Brandt says the announcement by Premier David Peterson concerning the future of the waterfront clearly commits the government to plrolubiwig development in the Rouge. He says the next step is the designation of the Rouge as a provincial park Brandt notes the Premier has endors- ed the mteim report of the Royal Commission on the Future of the Toronto Waterfront. That report recommend- ed the preservation of the Rouge River Valley. The announcement also charges Ron Kanter, MPP for St. Andrew - St. Patrick, with the task of "protecting forever" the headwaters and river valleys from Oak Ridges Moraine to Lake Ontario. The Rouge River Vallev lands are included in that area. "The only way I know of to 'protect forever' any area is to designate it a provincial park," says Brandt. "It's time the province collected the $10 million offered by the federal government and put everyone's fears about the future of the Rouge to rest by finally making it a provincial park." ::ti :........................

We all slowly - at 60 kmh instead of our usual So kmh driv- ing in this 60 kmh zone - moved around the police car. My car was last and as I moved on to the right hand lane I notic- ed the police car was now moving forward with his headlights flashing. The message suddenly clicked' He must want me to stop. I thought perhaps he needed some assistance or maybe my tall light was out. The officer approached my car and asked - with his heavy English accent - for my drivers licence. He viewed it and announced that I would be charged for not wearing my seat belt'! After writing the 153.75 ticket up he returned. I asked the officer why he was stopped on the right hand lane before we all passed his car with his red lights flashing and if this wasn't violating the highways act to park or stand an a road. He replied that it was in the performance of his duties!! Well. I have never believed that police cars were to be us- ed as road blocks in normal traffic. Normally a police car is parked on the side of the road for radar to capture Motor. It seems ridiculous to have highly paid police officers on duty collecting revenue for the provincial government on seatbelt violations when rapists and drug dealers are runn- ing loose in Metro Toronto. Surely this officer could be bet- ter utilized on decent police work. And would somebody please tell him that he can't violate traffic laws unless he is actuaIk doing police work' Here and There 1989 Poppy Campaign The 1989 Poppy Campaign begins Oct. 23 and rums until Nov. 11. Conducted by the Royal Canadian Legion, the Pop. py Campaign raises money which is kept in trust and used to assist needy Canadian ex -service members and their families. Veterans of Commonwealth and allied countries who are resident in Canada may also qualify for assistance through the Poppy Finds. The Poppy is a visible reminder of the sacrifice made by some 114,000 men and women who died while serving in Canada's armed forces during two World Wars and the Korean Conflict. For each donation given during the cam- paign, a visible symbol of remembrance is provided, either in the form of a single poppy, a wreath or spray, or, in the case of group donations, a certificate. Poppy material is assembled by disabled veterans and their families. This not only provides them with a small source of income, but allows them to take an active part in the tradition of remembrance. During 1988 some $5 million were distributed in accordance with the general bylaws of the Royal Canadian Legion. A Candid View Of Boxing CTV sports commentator and Golden Gloves Cham- pion Chuck "Spyder" Jones, "The Prophet of Pugilism", will discuss the positive and negative aspects of professional sports for all ages on Fri.

It is the 10th anniversary of the International Year of the Child and one that will witness the ratification of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. UNICEF's traditional Hallowe'en campaign continues this year with enhanced vigour and enthusiasm.

Ontario Hydro News Celanese corals energy savings Big energy savings are being realized at the Celanese polyester fibres plant near Kingston. Co-operative U ova- tions by Customer Energy Services at Ontario Hydro's Belleville office and the Celanese plant are paying dividends. Energy consultants inspected the heating and air condi- tioning equipment, and evaluated the ventilation systems to see if the air flow could be reduced. Reducing air flow resulted in egionential electricity savings. In one case, when the fan motor was changed from 125 hp to 40 hp, the energy consumption dropped from 88 kilowatts to 32 kilowatts without affecting production. Nine systems show- ed very good paybacks with mirurnal changes. By changing motors and rearranging fans to function more efficiently, savings of 130 kilowatts of energy will be achieved. This represents $40,000 per year in cost savings to Celanese. The project will pay for itself in two months. Lighting proved to be another potential energy-saving item for Celanese. By using Ontario Hydro's lighting incen- tive program, the warehouses will have their lighting levels doubled and at the same time save 75 kilowatts of energy. Electricity cousumpliien During August, Ontario Hydro supplied approximately 11 million megawatt -hours of electricity to Ontario con- stuners, only .5 percent more than in the same month last year. The 19,432 megawatt peak for the month of August was 88 megawatts less than the peak in August of 1988. The concen- trated days of heat and humidity which occurred during August last year did not occur this year. Electricity exports and purchases During August, Ontario Hydro sold 2,800 megawatt -hours of electricity while purchasing 551,100 megawatt -hours. The largest purchases were from Manitoba and Michigan. Win A Dinner For Two At Hennessey's Restaurant All new subscriptions to this newspaper plus all eligible for a lucky draw.

"There are enough qualified teachers to meet Ontario's requirements in most subject areas for this year, and this action is one way to ensure we maintain that supply in the future," Mr. Conway said. The regulation change was made under the Teachers' Superannuation Act. Previously, pen- sioners could return to employment in education for only 20 days in a school year without pension penalties. After the 20 day unit, their pensions were reduced by one four hun- dredth for each day work- ed. The increased limit will allow retired teachers to return to the classroom for temporary and supply teaching assignments for about one semester per year. expand thepool�d qualified Scarborough Council Stand by Gay Abbate Scarborough Council has established its standing committee for next year with great difficulty.

After councillors in- dicated their preferred committees, Budget Com- mittee and Budding and Fire and Legislation Com- mittee carne out short. For a while at the last council meeting it looked like coun- cil's procedural by-law was going to have to be amernd- ed to reduce the number of members on the two com- mittees. However, three councillors saved the day by volunteering. Fred Johnson and Loren- zo Berardinetti agreed to be on the Budget Commit- tee while Harvey Barron opted for the Building. Fire and Legislation committee. One explanation for the councillors' reluctance to sit on these two particular committees could be their heavy workload. Although the Budget Committee is a rather lightweight commit- tee for half of the year, the other half it supervises both the capital and operating budgets which determine the property tax increase and during this period, its members are swamped with work. As for the Building, Fire and Legislation Commit- tee, it is traditionally a busy one dealing with numerous controversial issues. It should be noted that there was no shortage of councillors to serve on the Recreation, Parks and Social Development Com- mittee, which has the lightest workload of all. For the first time in many years, every coun- cillor will serve on two committees. In recent years, some councillors would only sit on one com- mittee drawing criticism from collegues about not carrying their fair share of the load. The new committees, which take effect on Nov. 1 are as follows:. Administrative commit- tee: Doug Mahood, Edith Montgomery, Marilyn Mushinski, Ron Watson and Mayor Joyce Trim- mer, who is chairman. The mayor is an ex -officio member of the other com- mittees. Budget Committee: Lorenzo Berardinetti, Shirley Eidt, Fred Johnson, Paul Mushinski and Ron Watson.

By 9 p.m. there were perhaps 30 people gathered and still the doors were closed. It became obvious there was to be no concert and we left, quite disap- pointed. One understands that productions can be cancell- ed for any number of reasons including lack of audience response. One recognizes that perhaps a notice of cancellation might have been given to the media and missed by Your correspondent. Surely. however, there could have been a spokesman at Massey Hall or, at the very least. printed notices on the doors advising of and perhaps ex- plaining a cancellation. is that really too much to ex- pect' Poor show chaps .. and a helluva long drive bock to Orillia by people we war- rant will think twice rww before attending any event at Massey Hall. THEATRE TALKS: Tickets for The Phantom of the Opera are now on sale for performances through September 1990, a year after its opening and no sign in sight of diminish- ment in audience interest. In passing allow us to ex- press our pleasure in the in- creased number of men we now see going black tie, the civilized way to enjoy an evening out. Meantime, the Royal Alexandra has announced that the run of Les Miserables will conclude in May, 19% about 14 months after its opening. Some have expressed surprise at the relatively short run comparing it with the original long tenure of Cats at the Elgin'Winter Garden. Well, let's just consider a few things. It seems to us that the htirvi can't tie up the Royal Alex too long without runn- ing the risk of losing their regular subscribers. Cats %as and The Phantom so far as %%v are aware, is in the nature of single shot endeavours. As well, the Mir%i's pro- duction of Les Miz is not en- ding: it's going on tour and, we suggest, will probably return to the Royal Alex after the tour. So don't fash oneself over Les Miz; it is and remains an unqualified success. ON VOL'R TOF_S: The National Ballet opens its November season AroundandAbout Your Dining & Entertainment Guide at The O'Keefe next Wednesday with a produc- tion of Giselle. The next week will see three short works; Dream Dances, the beloved La Bayadere and the exciting La Ronde. The final presentation will be the lavish and much en- joyed Napoli. On Nov. 21st there will be a final tribute to Veronica Tennant. Theatre seating prices range from a reasonable $25 to $75. The evening begins at 7 p.m. and for those who wish, there is a post performance dinner at the King Edward Hotel after. The $300 price includes Front Orchestra seating. It promises to. be a superb evening and, we make so bold, a great start to the Yuletide festive season. IN PRINT: A Reuters wire report caught our eye recently. It seems that the British Satirical magazine Private Eye has won an appeal in a $1 million libel action. The huge award had been made to the estranged wife of the Yorkshire Ripper mass murderer and Editor Ian Hislop had earlier stated "if this is justice, 1 am a banana". We have just completed r reading England, An An- thology (Collins). Not- withstanding the pompous title, it is a charming an- thology of bits and pieces about England compiled by Richard Ingrams, the founder and former editor of Private Eye. It is not recorded if Mr. Ingrams considers himself a banana but we can attest that he is a good an- thologist and has put together a book to be en- joyed by the English, those who wish they were and those who are glad they are not. As much as anything can be, it is all things to all peo- ple. Personally we were rather much taken by the observations of visitors in- cluding those of James Fennimore Cooper on the similarity between British parliamentarians and their American counterparts. They are just as valid to- day as thev were a century ago. England is nicely il- lustrated with interesting wood engravings by John O'Connor. Taken all in all. England is a most interesting and enjoyable experience; it simply however, doesn't seers to track with the founder of Private Eye. And, since we've already mentioned Private Eye allow us to introduce or re- introduce the man usually considered to be the first of the hard boiled fictional private detectives. We mean The Continen- tal Op by Dashiell Ham- mett (Vintage Crime/Ran- dom House). Written in 1923 this is the first volume of collected short stories about the un- named operative of the Continental Detective Agency. Speaking per- sonally we have always rather preferred the writings of Raymond Chandler over Hammett but the latter has something going for him that the former had not. Dashiell Hammett had been a private detective and he knows whereof he writes. As well, having been at one time a stevedore he was physically tough and the physical aswvts of his, adventures are autherdic When he describes a jabb- ed thumb in the eye. One almost winces. Interesting, too, is the proper grammar that's us- ed even while employing fresh descriptive phrases as much at home in the gut- ter as in the drawing room. .Fa Iry Lottery funds help people with disabilities.

SWEETHEARTS: It's probably the came that few people now remember musician Carmen 1 ombardo. It was he who wrote Sweethearts on Parade and one hopes again that it will be played during the Miss Canada Pageant. Yes, the Miss Canada Pageant goes next Monday on CTV and the young ladies are already in town for a week of preparation and fun. Scarborough residents who missed see- ing them dining out last night at the Old Scott House can catch them tonight at Obie's. CAVEAT: A few nights ago we found ourself in the downtown core, after an early final curtain at theatre, with some time on our hands and wandered in- to the Imperial Room. We hadn't been there since the policy of name entertainers was discontinued and the room returned to dining and dancing after exten- sive and expensive refur. bishment. Friends, we're here to state that if the people of this so-called world class City don't start supporting one of its most attractive show pieces it's going to be lost! The room was about three quarters empty; one of our favourite captains who shall remain nameless allowed as how "we're dy- ing". Get off your duffs Toron- to!

The best is yet to come. How about a sun - drenched, beach -bound vacation on the Gulf of Mexico, stateside? No native unrest or language barriers here on Florida's scenic Lee Island Coast. And when they say islands. they aren't just whistling Dixie (although the flavour of the south is in the air). Go Leeward, mate, to Florida's magical ( and barely discovered) southwest Gulf Coast. If you've ever picked up a Florida travel brochure, chances are those inviting photographs of white sand beaches, towering coconut palms and glistening azure waters were taken right here. If you haven't heard of places like Sanibel and Captive Islands, Cabbage Key, Cayo Costa. Bonita Springs. Fort Myers Beach and Gaspanlla Island, then you've still got a lot to discover about Florida. This is the Florida you've dreamed about, first cousin to the Caribbean. Some say it's one of the state's best kept secrets. One of the first discern- ing travellers to discover this region was the in- famous pirate Jose Gaspar. Of noble birth, dashing and handsome in appearance. an admiral in the Spanish navy. until, one day greed got the bet- ter of him and he made off with the crown Jewels. or so the legend goes. Turning his back on his homelammd. Gaspar opted for the ignoble, desperate and lucrative life of treachery on the high seas. With his marauding band of cut throats, he com- mandeered the finest ship in the Spanish fleet and sailed a furious, gold -paved course for the new world. Gaspar plundered his way right into Pine Island Sound, arriving nearly three centuries after his compatriot Juan Ponce de Leon had deposited a stone marker on these same shores. Weary and wealthy. Gaspar sought refuge among the appeal- ing chain of barrier ishinds which cling lightly to what is now Lee County. Like most pirates, he knew a good thing when he saw it. Pirate headquarters were established on Sanibel Island. a 22 mile shrimp -shaped stretch of golden sand awash with a bounty of lustrous sheUs from the Gulf of Mexico.

Calusa spirits must have cheered in silence as Gaspar looted passing ships, burying his booty on the island he modestly named Gasparilla. Cap- tured crew members were made to walk the plank, while Gaspar stashed his female captives on what is now Captiva Island, a snip- pet of paradise dotting Sanibel's northern shore. All except Joseffa, that is. Gaspar was, after all, only human and he had finally met his match in this proud and beautiful Mexican princess, cap- tured in one of his raids. He imprisoned her on yet another island. christened Joseffa's Island, determin- ed to- win her affections. Joseffa held forth nothing but disdain, driving Gaspar, in a fit of fury, to lop off her pretty head with one swift stroke of his cutlass. Apparently Gaspar was haunted by her ghost until he met his own death a short while later. Outwitted by a U.S. naval sloop• disguised as a British trader. Gaspar chose to wrap himself in anchor chains and seek a watery grave rather than take a taste of his own medicine. This romantic saga ends back in 1821, the same year Spain sold Florida to the American government for $s million. Fact or fantasy, little evidence of Jose Gaspar's exploits remain save the islands which retain the names and an atmosphere in which any pirate would feel right at home. In fact, things haven't changed all that much here. These islands are still as alluring and unspoiled as they were when Gaspar first spied them with his telescope. No high rise towers crease the skyline of Pine Island Sound and, while varying doses of civiliza- tion have crept into Gaspar's lair, development has been tasteful and discreet, leaving miles of natural beaches, preserves and waterways to play in. Needs Volunteers The Metro Toronto Branch of the Canadian Diabetes Association is seeking volunteers to help it with its November fun- draising drive. November is the date of the association's annual door-to-door canvass to raise money for research. About 200 volunteers are needed in Scarborough alone. The Association was given a helping hand recently by Scarborough Agincourt MP Jim Karygiannis who kicked off the 1989 appeal with a If you dream of long days of sunshine, white sand and sea breezes. tropical palms and poinciana, then Florida's Lee Island Coast is your destination. Doesn't this look like relaxation plus? Historic Pearse House Closer To Demolition by Gay Abbate The historic Pearse house moved closer to be- ing demolished this week after Scarborough Council backtracked on its commit- ment to help preserve the building. The decision means that the Metro Zoo Board will likely vote to demolish the house at its meeting next Monday. Several weeks ago• coun- cil approved in principle a $150,000 grant spread over three years to help the Rouge Valley Foundation Preserve and restore the historic house. The group is hoping to raise about $$.000 for the house which is located on Metro Zoo pro- perty roperty and is owned by Metro Toronto. The Zoo Board has said it wants the house either demolished or removed from its property. Only three councillors voted in favour of the fun- ding - Mayor Joyce Trim- mer. Edith Montgomery and Ron Moeser. Jim Robb of Save the Rouge Valley, called the vote against Pearse House "a case of petty politics." He said council should put its money where its mouth .................... ..... reception aimed at raising awareness about the disease which affects over one million Canadians or one in 20. ..The Canadian Diabetes Association has been doing excellent work to help find a cure and to help diabetic Canadians cope. With everyone's help we can come one step closer to wiping out this disease," Karygiannis said. The Association is hoping to raise $250,000 in Metro for research. Let Your Travel Agent Book Your Trip is. Council last year voted to preserve the Rouge Valley but since then has done nothing to help save the Rouge. Robb said. "It's disturbing that councillors have voted themselves hundreds of thousands of dollars in assistance. computers and perks and at the same time they can turn down a com- munity conservation cen- tre which is vital to keeping the Rouge healthy and beautiful," Robb said after the meeting. Robb said that the Zoo Board has delayed demoli- tion because of council's original promise of fun- ding. Council's decision will likely also affect pro- mised donations from the business community which hinged on council's par- ticipation financially, he said. Trimmer argued that it is important to save the ci- ty's heritage.' -The hale represents the heritage of those who settled this city." she said. But Councillor John War- drope said city staff in- spected the building and recommended the house be demolished. He said the money would be the first step to the group coming in and asking for more money every year. Robb said the request was for a one time grant. Grapes Of Wrath by Shelagh O'Donnell Vancouver -based band "The Grapes of Wrath" kicked off their gig at the Danforth Music Hall last Saturday night with a show so steeped in rock sen- sibilities it was hard to im- agine they had ever been labelled a folk band. Since the onset of their 15 -week Canadian tour, the CASBY nominees have been playing to sold out venues across the country. Fledgling Grapes fans who were attracted to Satur- day's show on the basis of the orchestrated subtleties on their single "All The Things I Wasn't" were in for a surprise. From the start, the band was out to prove that they could rock and roll too - coming on strong with the electronic distortion of "Do You Wanna Tell Me" and ..How, fig?" - amply contrasting the acoustic sound with which they are synonymous. The pace of the show evened out early on, mellowing almost too abruptly as they settled back into the heavily -laden vocal harmonies that are their real strength. The guitar -based sound ranged from loud electric to soft acoustics, with the addition of keyboards and organ ex- pertly executed by Vincent Jones bringing new dynamics to the Uneup. What was missing, however, was charisma. The majority of the show remained on a single plain without any surprising highs or lows. Guitarists Kevin Kane and Tom Hooper avoided any real physical interaction. stan- ding their ground at separate mikes, which undermined the vocal col- lusion at work in the mix. Little effort was re- quired, however, to draw squeals of delight from the pre -pubescent females flocked in from of the stage. Anything murmured from Hooper's lips while slumped over his guitar peering sheepishly through his tendrils was enough to garner enthusiastic response. The Grapes focus, understandably, was material from their latest LP "Now and Again", though the songs that charged the audience most were drawn from their earlier releases. The show wound up with a dramatically -lit version of "Ball and Chain", with Kane's vocals hauntingly sweet. By the time they sauntered off stage, the crowd was just warmed up and wanting more. The an- ticipated encore was WIN - ed with a prolonged version of their early hit "Misunderstanding„ and a cover of the Stones "Wild Horses". Though the early teens to early '30's crowd remained stylishly standoffish throughout most of the show, the Grapes cascading harmonies mov- ed like a slow wave throughout the audience drawing even the unwilling back to its source. Those who sat back passively expecting to be entertained by a theatrical stage show took most of the evening to realize that this is a band who are confident enough in the strength of their songs alone to win the audience over. Watching the Grapes perform, one never got the feeling that they were play- ing for anything more than their own personal satisfaction. There was no blatant ego display or gratutious solos - just musical excellence delivered in a refreshingly understated way. If you missed out on see- ing this rising band per- form live. they'll be back in Toronto Nov. 3 to play YTV`s Youth Achievement Awards. Judging from the success of their tour to date, these boys deserve an award too.

This friendship is based on the possibilities for mutually beneficial cooperation and on a shared moderate approach to peace in the Middle East. Relations between the two countries were enhanced significantly by the April 1966 visit to Amman of the Secretary of State for External Affairs and the return visit to Canada in June 1967 by Crown Prince Hassan. On Oct. 10 -11th, King Hussein I and Queen Noor of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, officially visited Canada. Following his address to the House of Commons, Prime Minister Brian Mulroney met with King Hassein. After this meeting, the Prime Minister announced a new economic and development assistance package to Jordan worth more than $17.5 million over the next two years. This package will extend Canada's oil and gas sector assistance program in Jordan, which has the ability to benefit both countries. On hand to listen to King Hussein's address to the House of Commons were two constituents from Ontario Riding. Mr. Mohammed Rida Masn and his son, Rida Mohammed, Queen's Park Report from Norah Stoner MPP Durham West The Elimination of OHIP Premiums The elimination of OHIP premiums is to take place in late December of this year. It will be replaced by a new Employer Health Tax, that was part of the government's election promise to eliminate OHIP premiums and improve accessibility to the health care system. The fundamental principle of our health care system is to provide' all Ontarians with universal access to quality health care. In 1989-90, the Ministry of Health's expen- ditures will total $13.9 billion, an increase of 10.7% over 1988-89. If the system stayed the same, OHIP premium revenue would have financed less than 13% of the total cost of health care in 1969-90, down from 19% in 1964-85. With in- creasing demands being placed on our health care system it is essential that something be done to place our health care financing on a solid foundation. The cancellation of OHIP premiums represents a $1 billion benefit to individuals and families. Each family subscriber saves $714 and individuals will save $357. By abolishing OHIP premiums, we are removing a regressive method of paying for health care and stabilizing our health care funding. OHIP premiums place a heavier burden on the working poor. They are unfair because some individuals have employer coverage while others do not. In addition, premiums paid less and less of the total care cast. In 1954, it paid 19% and in 19e8, 13%. We need to share the responsibility of paying for health care. Employers pay a graduated rate between .99% and 1.95% of the total payroll. Ontario's personal income tax will be increased by 1% so that individuals can continue to contribute to health care. Ontario's Employer Health Tax is the lowest of all Cana- dian payroll taxes. Quebec's is 3.36'16 with no relid at all for small business. In Manitoba, it is 2.25% with some relief for smaller employers. Ontario's will be between .98% and 1.95% depending on payroll sine. The EHT costs only 5 cents on every $5 per hour paid (at .96% rate). In the United State, similar health care coverage costs approximately $3,000 per year on average for each employee in the manufacturing sector. Payments under OHIP end December 31, 1989. Payments under the new EHT system will commence in January, 1990. There is a transition penod in which OHIP is in effect and the EHT is in continuous and consistent funding for the health care system as Ontario moves from a pre -paid in- surance system to the arrears paid Employer Health Tax. Other methods of introduction which would have recogniz- ed the shift from pay -in -advance to pay -in -arrears tax, would have required higher tax rates to raise the same revenue. Once this transition period is complete, you will never have to pay OHIP premiums again. We as Ontanarss place a high value on our health care system. By eliminating OHIP premiums we are taking a positive step toward a more equitable health care system. Seat Belt Target Set For Ontario Ontario Transport Minister William Wrye has set a target of over 90% seat belt use in Ontario in the 199o's. Almost a third of Ontario drivers and passengers still fail to buckle up despite statistics showing they are 26 times more likely to be killed in a collision than people who year their seat belts. Wrye. speaking at a joint news conference annoulneft a seat belt enforcement and education campaign, said that young people are less likely to wear seat belts than the general population, yet more likely to have accidents. One out of every six drives aged 16 is involved m an accident. The one-month enforcement and education campaign is just the beginning of an ongoing drive to raise seat belt use in Ontario from its present 70% to over 90% in the 1990's. That increase would save lives and reduce the severity of injuries to people involved in motor vehicle accidents.
