Kindergarten for submis-
sion to the Ontario Public
School Board's Associa-
tion. The committee was
formed in October of this
year to study the implica-

Energy Report Received
The Durham Board of
Education's Annual
Energy Report was receiv-
ed by trustees. The report
showed that although the
total building square
footage used by the board
increased by 38.9% bet-
ween 1976 and 1989, energy
used decreased by 25.2%.
saving the board an
estimated $3,410,277. on
electricity and $6,377,923.
on fuel.
Although energy use in-
creased by 2.6% this year,
much of this has been due
to the increased use of com-
puters throughout the
system. Congratulations
were extended to Doug
McDonald for his excellent
report and to staff
throughout the board for
helping to make the results
possible.

Want
Feedback
On Health
Catherine Hilge, Chair-
man of the Durham Region
District Health Council, an-
nounced last week that
council will be seeking
written feedback from all
health and social service
agencies and organizations
across Durham Region on
'a proposed future role' for
the Durham Region
District Health Council.
Over the last year
district health councils, in
cooperation with the
Ministry of Health,
developed a discussion
paper entitled, "Future
Directions for District
Health Councils: Renewing
Our Partnership in Plann-
ing". This document,
which was endorsed by
Health Minister Elinor
Caplan in October, sug-
gests some enhancement of
the role of district health
councils.
Currently, councils are
mandated to provide ad -
%ice to the Minister of
Health on local health
needs.
Specifically, their role is
to identify health needs and
consider alternative ways
Of meeting those needs,
hat are corgistent with
provincial guidelines; to
pian a comprehensive
nealth care program and
,•stablish short term
priorities that are consis-
tent with long term goals;
to coordinate all health ac-
tivities and ensure a
balanced, effective and
economical service that is
;atisfacto y to the com-
munity; and to work
•ow•ards cooperation in the
social development ac-
tivities for the district.
"Future Directions"
describes four functions
which are considered to be
enhancements to the ex-
isting role of district health
councils. They involve the
provision of advice in four
areas: allocation of funds;
district health manpower
requirements; area -wide
planning and integrating
health and social services
planning.
Having reviewed this
provincial paper, and
recognizing the many im-
plications of an enhanced
role, council felt strongly
that there should be con-
siderable community con-
sultation around these
issues. In odder to facilitate
this process a cornrruanity
discussion paper has been
developed which identifies
the direction of its future
role.
As a first stage of con-
sultation, the District
Health Council is re-
questing the submission of
written briefs which ad-
dress such as what com-
ponents of the future role of
the Durham Region DHC
are supported; what com-
ponents of the future role of
the Durham Region DHC
are unclear or are not sup-
ported and why; what
alternatives are there for
components of the enhanc-
ed rote that are not sup-
ported.
upported; suggestions for
enhancing communication
between the DHC and the
community and other sug-
gestions for improving
local health planting.
Deadline for submissions
is Feb. 28th.

Opinion
a page for expression
for you and us
Welcome To 1990
by Bob Watson
Economic forecasters have given their views generally
about 1990 and they make 1969 seem like a terrific year'
One analyst says that the Mulroney government will be
out of office in 1990. but we don't know how that positive
idea can take place. Premier Peterson has been expressing
his view that Ontarians are restless and discontent -and he
doesn't seem to know wfiy'
Well starting Jan. 1st first class mail is up one cent a let-
ter, gasoline is up two cents per litre, hit by both levels of
government and 77C fares are up. Our cold weather and
icy roads are causing trouble to our local government
budgets. Citizens of Ontario don't have to pay OHIP any
more - but every business. both large and small will be sen-
ding the bucks in to Queen's Park. So with costs bigger by
decree on business, look for an increase in costs on
everything'
Of cqurse. the GSt hangs over our heads like a death
sentence making 1991 sound even worse than 1990. Our out
of touch federal government is still approving of high in-
terest rates by the Bank of Canada making house and car
sales slowing down. A recession is predicted by most
analysts on our economy.
The federal government recently cut $1.6 billion of its ex-
penses %i ich included a $220 million subside Ion for years)
to the post office toallow newspapers. boobs and magazine--
to
agazinesto be delivered economically. Just wait till that swings into
action'
Let's not forget our provincial government-aftich has
been busy unloading education and social welfare costs on
to local governments. It is not a good scenario for prosperi-
ty and happiness.
But we like the Canadian Labour Congress idea of a svm-
bolic nation wide protest against the ,% GST with everyone
in Canada stopping work and shopping and honking their
car horns in unison. Unfortunately. our democratic system
doesn't seem to allow voters to oust a government before its
time is up. We believe that an amendment to our constitu-
tion should be made to allow for a national plebescite
whenever 5000 or more voters sign a petition. Happy 1990 to
all of you.
The Big Picture
I read that Mayor Trimmer got angry over the decision to
offer the Rouge up as a potential Dump Site. while I agree
with her. we all should echo her own words "We've heard
that the environment is motherhood and apple pie," she
said. "well like hell it is'" she added.
Well Mrs. Trimmer. such are the double standards that
we set .. and so wie live by those same standards.
I draw- your attention to the use of rock -salt as an ice -
melting chemical versus calcium-chlotride, and point out
what we all know .. we are polluting and destroying our en-
vironment by this act. That if the City of Scarborough.
would set the example by eliminating double standards,
and by practicing what it preaches- then the others would
follow.
The Scarborough Public School Board being no excep-
tion, said that they too use rock -salt even though they
preach environment protection to children, because salt is 6
times cheaper than the chloride, and because the city and
the province uses it on their roads. I wonder what the real
costs are. I claim that while budget restraint arguments
are sound, that these arguments do not hold water when it
comes to the environment. The world loops for real leaders,
leaders to put away the old traditions that are spelling
disaster for our children and perhaps even for the adults of
today. We look for leaders who count the loss of future
revenues in todays decisions. Revenues such as that from
Tourism. Fishing, and pure clean drinking water .. a fun-
damental life supporting meed'
Friends of the Environment where are you Are we so in-
to being "Team Players" that we can't go to bat for the
citizen of the world because we have to "steal a base" for
our own little neighbourhood" Does anyone see the Big -
Picture vet'

The Path
There comes in life a point in time
In which we must decide.
To take the path of love, or the one
Of another kind.
One path leads to the heart, with much
Pain and struggle along the way.
While the other comes with less surprises,
For you know what is in store.
So as you stand at the fork in the road.
Trying to decide,
You see it as a big decision. So take my advice
My friend, and choose the path of love.
Because in the end the pain is forgotten
But the love will always remain.

Mainstream Canada
A taxing year
By Ann M. Smith
What a difference a year
makes.
To think, just 12 months
ago, the freshly re-elected
majority government of Prime
Minister Brian Mulroney was
still basking in the glory of
its stunning Nov. 1988 federal
election victory. There was talk
of fence -mending, account-
ability, accessibility, openness,
honesty and, well, all kinds of
good stuff. The new year, we
•.%ere assured, was full of
promise.
But those were happier times,
,f course... pre -GST times.
Now this same government can
harely scrape together enough
credibility to fill a coffee mug.
At the centre of this year's
hottest national controversy was
Finance Minister Michael Wil-
son, the same man who had
previously lulled (maybe even
bored) Canadians into a false
sense of security and then
shocked us all by kmrlling the
country with arguably the most
seriously flawed sales tax system
in the world. (The two-tiered,
9 per cent Goods and Services
Tax is set for implementation on
Jan. 1, 1991.) As one leading
Canadian humorist put it: "Thc
Finance Minister seemed to
have no imagination. So who
would have guessed that he was
.i sadist?"
The past year was also a time
of deep reflection for the
soundly defeated anti -free trade
trcx�ps (ser installment dated
Jan. 1, 1989). They were busy
finger -pointing and saying,
"I told you so" but, thankfully,
we were spared much of the
flag-waving that marred the
months leading up w the 1988
federal election. The sky didn't
fall, our forests weren't pillaged,
our water supplies are still
Plentiful and Canadians are still
proudly Canadian.
On other economic matters,
1989 may well be remembered
as the year that our economy
finally ran out of steam, as
well as luck. Leading econo-
mists spent much of 1989
falling all over themselves as
they jumped on and off the
".Any Day Now" bandwagon.
Finally, though, it looks as if
their dire predictions have come
true and Canadians are now
bracing for the apparently long -
overdue recession. Although
these same economists will
likely spend much of 1990
debating over the probable
length and severity of this pend-
ing recession. one thing is gener-
ally accepted: chances of a
repeat of the devastation we
saw in the early I980's are
almost certainly nil.
On a personal note. I would
like to take this opportunity to
introduce the new writer of
Mainstream Canada, Terry
O'Shaughnessy. Terry will take
over the responsibilities for
this column in the next install-
ment and I'm sure that Main-
stream's readers will be able to
quickly appreciate Terry's wide-
ranging knowledge, insight and
sense of humor. For my part,
70,000 words (the sum total of
the past three years of writing)
is enough. From postal rate
hikes to postal strikes and out-
rageous bank service charges to
outrageous tax increases, rep-
resenting the Interests and
concerns of Canada's small -
and medium-sized business
community in this unique
forum has been an enormous
challenge and, of cause, a great
deal of fun. But most of all.
I want to mpress appreciation
to you, the reader, and to the
many fine publications which
have carried this column
through thick and thin.
Happy new wwl

"Savings by design" program
The ''Savings by design" program is one of several pro-
grams introduced this year by Ontario Hydro to help com-
mercial customers use electricity more efficiently. The
University of Toronto is the first institution in Ontario to
receive a financial incentive from Hydro to make energy ef-
ficiency improvements.
After a computer analysis and engineering assessment,
Ontario Hydro and the University of Toronto determined
that the installation of thermal window film on its Ad-
ministration, Zoology and Sydney Smith buildings would
significantly reduce electricity requirements. The film is
expected to save the university $30.000 a year reducing On-
tario Hvdro's load by 200 kilowatts.

As of January 1. 1990
you no longer pay OHIP premiums
And you are still covered
premiumWhen wriH ,
January 1, 1990.
Ontario residents are responsible for paying their
premiums until the end of December 1989, for the period
through March 31. 1990.
Yes. If you were covered you will continue to be covered
under your present OHIP number.
Payment of the final premium will ensure continuous
coverage to March 31. 1990.
After April 1. 1990, coverage will automatically remain
valid for all eligible residents of Ontario.
Ontario's health care system covers all residents of
the province including students, senior citizens, retied
people, people on social assistance, people who are
employed, unemployed or self-employed
Contact your local OHIP office.
No.
In the past, many companies paid all or a percentage of
OHIP for their employees. Other companies paid nothing.
Many Ontarians paid OHIP premiums on their own.
Unfortunately, many of the people who had to pay their
own premiums were those who could least afford them.
The new Employer Health 18x and the elimination of
OHIP premiums will make the system fair for everyone.
Yea Last year nearly fourteen billion dollars, one third of
the entire provincial budget weal towards providing health
care for Ontario residents The elimination of premiums
in no way affects the amount of money the government
has committed to health care. It simply changes one of the
sources of the money. In the past OHIP premiums only
paid for a very small part of the Ontario health care sys-
tem. Most of the money for health care came from general
revenues collected through the tax system-

Writing Your Nanny
Off
by Doo Goodison, CBA
Child care casts are a
common bugbear for topense-
-
day's working families.
But under certain cir-
cumstances, the cost of a
nanny can be claimed in its
entirety as a business
ex-
T1te precedent was set
recently when a taxpayer
who wanted to practice law
on a full time basis argued
that she needed a nanny to
take care of her two pre-
school age children. She
claimed as a business ex-
pense the salary paid to the
nanny in the years 1982
through 1965.
She was disallowed these
payments as a business ex-
pense and allowed instead
child care expenses as per-
mitted under section Gi of
the Income 'fax Mt. These
deductions were con-
siderably less than those
claimed by the taxpayer,
who appealed to the
Federal Court.
In the appeal, the tax-
payer argued that then
was a direct link between
the salary paid to the nan-
ny and the taxpayer's in-
come earning process. In
addition, disallowance of
her expense was a violation
of her equality rights as a
parent employer and a
woman in contravention of
section 1501 of the Cana-
dian ararter of Rights and
Freedoms.
In support of its argu-
ment that the nanny's
salary was a personal or
living expense - not a
business -the government
introduced the concept of a

r
parents and their grand-
children regularly bowling
together. It's an
during circle". Counsel for
the government argued
that expenses that bring
the taxpayer up to, but still
outside, the circle are not
proper business deduc-
tions. Only those expen-
ditures made within the
revenue producing circle
are deductible.
In a lengthy decision, the
court found in favour of the
taxpayer and allowed the
appeal. The court Geld that
the nanny's salary was
essential to the taxpayer's
full time commitment to
practice law. There was a
clear connection between
the revenue producing pro-
cess and the expense
claimed.
The court did agree with
the government that the
taxpayer's Charter argu-
ment could not apply to her
deductions before 1985
since the Charter wasn't in
place at that time.
The matter still Isn't
closed. The federal govern-
ment
overnmeat has announced it will
appeal this decision. For

deductibility of child care
expenses, readers should

Bill Watt's Worlds
4 BAR INTRO:
The holidays are over for
your scribe and it's back to
work with the first column
of the 90s. ( For heaven's
sake, let's call them the
Happy 90s, not the Gay
90s! )
OVERTURE:
Comparisons might be
odious but they are also in-
evitable. Herewith, brief
assessments of Toronto's
`.new" legitimate theatres.
The beautiful Pantages
makes one mindful of im-
pressario Diaghilev's dic-
tum. When a revival of one
of his most successful
productions -we think it
might have been Rite of
Spring -was being mounted,
he was asked how it should
be designed and lit.
Without hesitation he
responded "Bigger and
brighter than it was; that's
how it is remembered".
The Pantages has, ever
so lovingly, been given a
new sheen, one con-
siderably brighter, it is
suspected, than that of the
original. Mind you, it falls
considerably on the
favourable side of kitsch
but you get the idea.
Structurally, it is a
theatregoer's dream and
the sound system is ex-
cellent.
The Elgin is rather more
understated though no less
elegant. Your reporter has
known the Elgin, Loew's
since boyhood and can at -

test from personal recollec-
tion that it is now just about
the way it was before its
latter day descent into
something just short of a
grind house.
Here too, the seating is
comfortable -good leg
room; sight lines, generous
and the sound system,
superb when properly us-
ed.
The Winter Garden could
hardly have been better
named. It is a faerie bower
offering pastoral warmth
on a winter's eve and, we
imagine, balmy solicitude
in high surnmer. That is to
say nothing of rustle of spr-
wg and tang of autumn.
Heck, if one wishes to
stretch the imagination it
could well be a Prater in the
Vienna Woods replete with
soft lanterns hanging from
softly bending leafy bran-
ches.
If we're waxing too
poetic, we offer not an
apology but rather. an ex-
planation or excuse. we
simply cannot decribe.
without descent into dreary
verisimilitude, the gentle
visual impact of this
superb theatre. probably
the finest we have ever en-
joyed -You must, we mist. see
it for yourself. And,
whatever the attraction,
you will see and hear it well
wherever you are seated.
ACT I:
The Wizard of 0z at The
Elgin is a new stage pro-
duction but not a rework-
ing. It is a stage version by
John Kane of the classic
1930 motion picture which
in turn was adapted from
the Oz books by L Frank
Baum.
It's arguably better -yes,
we said better -than the
movie m the way that all
live productions are. one is
literally close to flesh and
blood performers singing
and dancing to songs that
can now be positively and
properly deemed to be
beloved-
The
eloved.T e production abounds
with special effects but all
of them are necessary,
They are indispensable and
spectacular for the
uninitiated, interesting for
those who know and ap-
preciate theatre.
So, one has an excellent
production of a musical
work Performed by an ex-
cellent cast in a splendid
theatre. A hit, Yes? Well,
maybe not. Certainly it
deserves a long run but it
just might not get it.
The Wizard of Oz is like
Peter Pan in that it is best
enjoyed in the company of
children; are there enough
children around to fill the
theatre, with accompany -

ing adults, of course, to
make the production
economically viable? The
producers have
presumably made a
thorough study of the ap-
propriate demographics
but still . .
Oh yes, it's just a tad
long, for the little ones, too.
Anyway, let's comment
on that aforementioned ex-
cellent cast.
The role of Dorothy is
primary and is given a
,prime performance by
Karen Egan. Dorothy is
like Anne of Green Gables
in that she is always
spunky and always winning
in her way. Miss lagan has
captured those qualities
admirably. What's more,
she looks and sounds like a
little girl rather than the
seasoned performer she is
known to be.
When she sings in her
fore voice she allows the oc-
casional catch, something
that only a well and truly
confident singer will essay.
No problem for Karen
Egan. She dances well too.
She is rarely off stage
and the role is most deman-
ding but she never falters.
Well done.
Lee MacDougall, Ted
Simonen and Gerry
Salsberg are the
Scarecrow, Tinman and
Cowardly Lion respective-
ly as well as their alter
egos (Oz is the real world
after all) and each per-
forms well particularly
when one considers that
they are being measured -
probably unfairly -against
the originals. Allow us to
say only that they are
every bit as good. Special
kudo to Gerry Salsberg and
his King of the Forest
number. Hilarious.
All rales save that of
Dorothy are doubled.
Deann deGruiter as Miss
Gulch and the Wicked
Witch is almost classic
villainy. George Meaner is
properly bombastic as Pro-
fessor Marvel and The
Wizard. Mary Trainor sur-
prises in the contrasting
roles of Auntie Em and
Glinda. the Good Witch. %
Jack Northrnor+e is quietly i
effective as Uncle Henry
but garners a good deal of •
laughter as the guard at the
gate of Oz.
There is some excellent
choral work -one thinks par-
ticularly of the Optimistic
Voices when Oz is first
entered -aid the dancing
throughout is skillful and
exciting. Lack of space I
does not permit mention of
all the terpsichorean
highlights but watch for the
number by the crows early
in Act I.
The large orchestra I
under David Thompson
and Bruce Harvey plays
superbly and we're sure it
;s only early unfamiliarity I
with the theatre's
sophisticated sound system
that caused an occasional
situation where the singers
were overpowered.
You'll be overpowered by
The Wizard of (h, over-
powered with pleasure.
This is must see entertain-
ment and you really must
see it with children.
ENTR'ACTE:
We have not, as of this
advance writing, enjoyed
the daytime vaudeville at
the Winter Garden but
recommend it sight unseen
and with a reminder that
the current show runs only
until Jan. 6th.
There are 100 free tickets
at each performance for
the first 100 people at the
box office. Can't beat that
kind of bargain.
ACT II:
Side by Side by Sondheim
at the Winter Garden is as
the title might suggest, a
concert presentation of
some of the songs of
Stephen Sondheim. It has
been suggested that they
will find their way into
posterity. That might well
be but if so it will be in the
manner of the songs of
Shakespeare .. without the
music.
Mr. Sondheim is
undeniably clever as at-
tested by his lyrics (per-
sonally, we think Lorenz
Hart had it all over him)
but the cleverness of his
lyrics are frequently,
though not always, grafted
to melodies difficult for
other than trained singers.
Most people have difficulty
humming or singing his
Songs -
Anyway. the trio of ar-
tists chosen to sing them in
this production do their
assigned tasks with enough
elan and enthusiasm to
carry the evening and turn
what could be an esoteric
experience into an evening
of musical delight.
Davis Gaines is at once
boyish and mature with the
lyrics and his fire voice
makes one desire many en -
Coll .
It seemed to us that
Kathy McGlynn (can
anyone ever forget her
great performance in
Sweet Will?) might have
been having an Perhaps it was a deficiency y
of the sound system, or
Lack of one at all, that caus-
ed it but there were times
when one had difficulty
hearing her. Pity. because
she is a fine singer with a
flair for both the dramatic
and the comic. Wait till you
experience her singing The
Boy From.
For us, the star of the
show, as much as there can
be one, is Karen K. Edissi.
She is a voluptuous woman
with an operatic voice to
match and she imbues even
the slightest of the Son-
dheim compositions with a
vigour that quite
transforms them, almost
into art. Her performance
of Barcelona is almost
erotic as is her rendition of
Losing My Mind.
Fiona Reid is
hostess/narrator and her
running comments have
been updated to make them
topical and even local. She
delivers them well and pro-
perly unobtrusively.
Musical accompaniment
is by the twin pianos of Bob
Ashley and Chuck
Homewood. We can pay no
higher compliment than to
state that they much re-
mind one of Whittemore
and Lowe.
S. by S. by S. is a good
show which we would
recommend even were it
not playing in the enchan-
ting (enchanted?) Winter
Garden.
CURTAIN:
Wilder Penfield has seen
fit to suggest that the poppy
field scene in The Wizard
might be a subliminal "say
no message. Maybe.
Should it be suggested
then that when a mother of
babes in arms in Emerald
City surrenders them for a
couple of white balloons
that one is witnessing a
birth control message'
Methinks Mr. P. is
reaching for effect.

Heres a great idea for breakfast that will get your day off
to a smart start. SAVOURY CHEDDAR TRIANGLES are
a delicious alternative to standard breakfast fare They start
out like ordinary biscuits but stop being ordinary with the
addition of good Canadian Cheddar, chopped onion and
cooked bacon. Make them up in advance and store them
in the freezer. At breakfast time pop a few into the oven
to reheat while you're getting ready for work or school.
Any way you serve it, cheese is a winner for breakfast. One

Safety
The Canadian Standards
Association offers some
tips to boost escalator safe-
ty.
Escalators are one of the
safest and most
economical means of
transportation available.
according to Ernst
Vlahovic, Chief Engineer
of Ontario's Elevating
Devices Branch. Mr.
Vlaho is is Vice-Chatirman
of CSA's Technical Com-
mittee on the Elevator
Safety Code ( CANS -1344), a
National Standard of
Canada which sets
minimum safety re-
quirernents for escalators,
elevators and a variety of
other elevating devices.
The Code, the basis for pro-
vincial licensing
authorities. is currently be-
ing revised: publication of
the new edition is planned
for the first quarter of 19110.
The major change to the
Code concerns elevators -

The revised Code will
also feattlre improvements
to escalator safety, blit it is
well to note that human
carelessness rather than
mechanical failure is the
usual cause of accidents in-
volving escalators. Caution
against slips and falls is
essential. as is the need to
keep an eye land grip) on
young children.
Slips and Falls
Falls while getting on or
off escalators account for
almost three-quarters of all
reported accidents involv-
ing escalators. People most
likely to lose their balance -
semors, the handicapped,
sick people and intoxicated
people - would be safer us-
ing the elevators and
stairs.
Slips are another poten-
tial hazard. Through side
friction with the escalator
skirt, the sole of a sneaker
can stick to the metal sur-
face. the foot then rotates
and the toes get caught bet-

Combine flour, baking powder and salt in large mixing bowl.
Cut in butter until mixture is crumbly. Stir in 1'%z cups

the skirt or between the
steps.
The existing Code calls
for emergency stop but-
tons, located at both eats of
the escalator, that are well
protected from accidental
contact. Escalator skirts
must be made of low -
friction material or per-
manently treated with
friction-reducmg material.
As well, escalator braking
systems must be tested to
ensure that sudden stops do
not throw people off their
feet.
Code Imptrevetmeats
In the revised Code, a
modification to the demar
cation lines or colour
coding that identity the
break between one step and
the next will make it easier
for passengers to tell where
the edge of the ne3d step is.
Another inWrovement in-
corporated in
Code is the requirement for
combpiate switcbrs on all
escalators. These pressure -
sensitive switches are
designed to stop the
escalator in an emergency
where a foreign object -
perhaps a child's foot - is
trapped between the combs
and steps.
(Escalator Etiquette
When using an escalator:
- Always face in the direc-
tion of movement.
- To improve your balance,
grip the handrail before
stepping on. Step on
without hesitating: be
alert.
- Hold on to the moving
handrail. Do not lean or sit
on it.
- Watch young children,
hold their hands, and place
them with their feet at a
safe distance from the
steps edges.
- Do not let young children
play near handrail inlets
into the escalator or touch
the emergency stop but-
tons.
- Do not take shopping
carts, strollers, and
wheelchairs onto
escalators.
- Avoid carrying heavy
packages and luggage on
escalators. Carry pets in
your arms.
- Be extra careful getting
off the escalator if you're
wearing soft -soled shoes,
high heels, long dresses,
winter scarves or loose
clothing. (Tie shoe laces.)
- Clear landing areas as
quickly as possible.
- Report instances of van-
dalism or clowning.

The Stoner Report
Norah Stoner, M.P.P. Durham West
A new residential land sales initiative developed by the
Ontario government will result in the construction of 2,200
bores on provincial government lands next year. As well,
more than 6000 rental Mmes will be offered under the pro -
vine's "Homes Now" program.
Construction will begin on about 2,200 homes on provin-
cial government lands next year. This new housing in-
itiative will include affordable starter Mmes and non-profit
rental Mmes. They will be a well-planned mix of low-rise
apartments, townhouse style condominiums, semi-
detached and detached Muses and are designed to Wend
with existing neighbourboods.
-By working with the building industry, non-profit groups
and municipalities, we are able to create a significant
amount of affordable Mmes that people can buy or rent,"
said Housing and Municipal Affairs Minister, John
Sweeney.
The key to the new starter homes project is that the
government sells its land to a qualified builder who
guarantees the lowest sales price of affordable starter
homes to be built on those lands. Construction will start
next year on these 2,200 homes in Mississauga, Bowman-
ville, Windsor, Kitchener, Guelph and Stoney Creek. Work
is also expected to begin on an additional 250 Mmes on
government land in Oakville in 1991. More than half of the
new homes - 500 rental and 800 starter homes - will be affor-
dable to low and moderate income households.
The Heritage Green Community of Stoney Creek is the
first example of this new government housing initiative.
Eighty starter homes priced at $59,700 will be built on land
currently owned by the province.
The land will be sold to two local builders who will build
and market these homes in the coming year. These 8o
starter homes will be available only to first-time buyers
and anti -speculation measures will be used to ensure they
remain affordable. Interested buyers can call a hotline
number to be set up and advertised by the builders in
January for details.
Mr. Sweeney said, "This initiative marks a significant
new direction in the use of surplus government land for
housing. But to continue this momentum, we need the com-
mitment and creativity of the province's builders, non-
profit groups, municipalities and the public."
Affordable home ownership is only one aspect of the
government's efforts to increase housing choices. Another,
is non-profit housing designed, built and managed by local
non-profit groups.
On December 8th, the government gave the go-ahead for
non-profit organizations to plan for more than 6,400 rental
units through the Ministry of Housing's "Homes Now" Pro-
gram, the largest -ever provincial housing initiative.
Sponsors under "Horses Now" are eligible for interest-
free provincial loans to assist them in developing their pro-
posals. About 30 percent of the housing will be offered at

with Rene Soetens, M.P.
As we look back on 1989, it is interesting to reflect an the
year's experiences. 1989 was a year of many challenges for
the government, and for me personally. On the government
side. while a lot of progress was made on many issues and
the economy continued to improve in most sectors, it is
clear that there is much that retrains to be done. Personal-
ly. the past twelve months have also brought a variety of
experiences, many of which were rewarding and challeng-
ing. Overall. I will remember 1989 as a year of many
achievements.
As we enter a new decade, I look forward to the new
challenges that lie ahead, and June and I wish you all a hap-
py and prosperous New Year.
On Dec. 190L Finance Minister Michael Wilson revealed
the details of his new GST package. in his statement in the
House. the Minister explained that the changes. many of
winch were recommended by the House of Commons Stan-
ding Committee on Finance. are consistent with the govern-
ment's objectives. For your information, I will outline some
of the changes put forth by the Minister.
The key change to the proposed GST will lower its rate
from 9% to 7%. The 7% rate will raise almost $6 billion less
in government revenues each year. Therefore. a number of
measures were announced to offset this revenue loss.
To promote greater efficiency in government operations,
the President of the Treasury Board recently announced
measures that will save $700 million per year. These
measures include the sales of two government aircraft, the
closing of some parliamentary restaurants, travel restnc-
tions, continuation of the federal department's budget
freeze, a freeze on construction expenditures in the Na-
tional Capital Region. and the amalgamation or closing of
some government agencies.
The reduction of the GST rate from 9% to 7% would yield
the greatest benefit to high-income Canadians. However, in
order to ensure fairness in the system, the surtax on high-
income Canadians will be increased from 3% to 5%. In addi-
tion, the threshold for the high-income surtax will be
lowered from $15,000 of basic federal tax annually to $12,500
of tax. Only tax payers with incomes in excess of about
$62,000 will be affected.
The Large Corporations Tax will be increased to raise
about $200 million in additional revenues annually. In addi-
tion, a proposed reduction of the middle-income fax rate as
proposed under the 9% GST will be scrapped. Even without
this income tax reduction, noddle -income earners will pay
less under the 7% package. Elimination of this measure will
contribute about $700 million to reducing the GST rate from
9% to 7%.
1 believe that the reduction of the GST rate from 9% to 7%
will benefit Canadians right across the country. The fact
that Mr. Wilson adopted the lower rate and many of the
Finance Committee's other suggestions, demonstrates the
useful role we play in ensuring that the views of Canadians
are recognized. Now that the rate is set, we can set our
sights on replacing the existing Federal Sales Tax with the
7% GST, early in 1991.
market rent, while the remainder will be made available to
tenants who will receive provincial assistance with their
rent. Since it began just over a year ago, "Homes Now" has
allocated 28,000 non-profit homes across the province.
LOCAL UPDATE
The Designated Property Grant Program of Preserving
Ontario's Architecture has been established to enable
municipalities to assist in the conservation of properties
designated under the Ontario Heritage Act.
The Town of Ajax will receive 53,300 to fund completed
Projects and I congratulate them on participating in this
Program.

Stick To Your Weight Loss Plan On Vacation
A vacation is just what's
needed to break from a
harried business environ-
ment or a hectic household.
A trip away from it all is a
welcome change from the
pressures and complexities
of everyday life. Holidays
are a time to unwind, relax
and rejuvenate yourself.
Whether you travel to a
foreign land or elsewbere
in Canada. a major part of
any vaction is spent eating
out and trying unfamiliar
fonds at new restaurants.
Under these conditions,
many vacationers put los-
ing weight on hold and
return home with excess
physis baggage -
Vacationing within a
weight -loss pian is possible
as long as you plan ahead,
eat smart and include exec
cise whenever possible, ac-
cording to Marie Ludwick,
President of the weight
Watchers franchise for
Southern Ontario and
Atlantic Canada.
"Investigate local
cuisine and familiarize
yourself with foods
available," encourages
Ms. Ludwick. "Don't be
afraid of foreign foods. Just
be mindful of the choices
you make.,.
Loosen up but don't go
hog wild. "Choose a variety
of foods daily," she sug-
gests. "Moderate fat in-
take, don't indulge in
greasy snacks, but do allow
yourself a treat each day. "
Marie suggests the
following tips to make din-
ing out a healthy ex-
perience:
Don't Clean Your Plate
Don't eat everything on
your plate just because
you've paid for it.
Restaurant portions are
often too big for the
average person. Eat what
you need, then leave the
rest, or ask the waiter to
put it in a takeout bag.

and over 700 dogs.
The annual kid -and -mutt
race will be held after
Saturday's official heats.
Minden is 200 kms from
Toronto on Highway 35 nor-
thwest of Lindsay. Take the
Bobcaygeon Road to the
town centre (left off
Highway 35).
Don't Open 7be Mena
If an enticing menu
sabotages your healthy in-
tentions, decide what you'd
like to order before you sit
down in a restaurant.
Leave the menu on the
table.
Make A Meal Out Of Ap-
petizers
On occasion. why not
substitute the entr6e with a
variety of appetizers? Try
a non -creamed soup and a
green salad with the dress-
ing on the side. Then, order
an appetizer which is high
in protein, such as stuffed
mushroom caps, oysters,
shrimp or crab cocktail. A

June 22, 1969).
The Treasurer also con-
firmed that the Ontario
government will grant
"risk -sharing" support to
"threshold" companies in
Ontario, but that "private -
sector involvement in this
initiative will be
extensive" to ensure that
disbursements will be
made fairly. The Treasurer
invited the board to suggest
how private -sector involve-
ment might best be achiev-
ed.
Toronto's Waterfront
Responding to David
Crombie's interim report
on the Waterfront, the
board urges more effective
use of the Island Airport,
including additional car-
riers and a fixed link to
support its continued
economic viability. The
board also recommends
the establishment of a Port
Authority, made up of
seven appointed directors.
to have control over both
the Harbour Commis-
sioners' and Harbourfront
Corporation's land.
The board supports the
recommendation of the
Royal Commission to ter-
minate Harbourfront Cor-
poration and to create a
new entity, Harbourfront
Foundation, with a man-
date to continue the provi-
sion of Harbourfront's wide
variety of cultural. recrea-
tional and educational pro-
grams -
With regard to environ-
ment and health issues. the
board is generally suppor-
tive of the recommenda-
tions made in the interim
report and cautions the
commission to make the
public aware of all costs of
proposed improvements.
The GST and Interprovin-
cial Trade Barriers
In anticipation of the
November 9-10 First
Minister's Conference, the
board wrote to the Premier
of Ontario to express its
support for the proposed
Goods and Services Tax
and for the elimination of
interprovincial barriers to
trade.
While the board
acknowledges that it would
be unrealistic to expect the
provincial leaders to find
all aspects of the GST sup-
portable, and indeed an-
ticipated that some ad-
justments might be
necessary to bring all par-
ties on side. The board
urges the Premier to take a
leadership role in this
regard.
The board also urges the
Premier to take concrete
action on the statement of
intent tabled at the
previous First Minister's
Conference which would
have compelled the pro-
vinces to reduce inter-
provincial barriers to trade
in the areas of government
procurement, transporta-
tion regulation and man-
power movement.
Response to the Second
Report of the Select Com-
mittee on Education
The board supports the
Report's three recommen-
dations surrounding a pilot
project to evaluate the
merits of year-round
education in some areas of
the province. However, the
board recommends that

consideration also be given
to increasing the number of
school days per year. In
this way, students would
become more competitive
in a world market "where
students of some in-
dustrialized countries
spend considerably more
time in school than our
students".
The board also calls for a
financial impact assess-
ment of the costs involved
of any changes to the cur-
rent school timetable.

Statfacts - Giving Up On Work
"Discouraged workers" are those who want work but
have stopped hunting for a job because they believe no
suitable employment is available. A special Statistics
Canada survey showed there were about 70,000 of them in
March 1989. Here are some facts about discouraged
workers in Canada.
The total of discouraged workers fluctuates both with
general economic conditions and the seasons. From about
101,000 such workers in March 1979, the total rose to 197,000
in 1982 in the wake of the latest recession and has since
declined steadily to the 70,000 level. Totals are generally
higher in March, a season of low seasonal economic activi-
ty, and lower in September.
Young persons age 15 to 24 and workers 45 and older are
heavily represented in the discouraged worker category.
Discouraged workers are almost evenly divided between
males and females. They were 52% female and 48% male in
March 1969. The proportion of females reached a high of
58% in 1983 following the last recession.
Regions of generally high unemployment tend to have a
heavy share of discouraged workers. About a third of all
discouraged workers in 1989 were in Atlantic Canada (New-
foundland alone, with about 2% of the national labour force,
had 199 of these workers). Another third were in Quebec.
Populous and prosperous Ontario had just 12%.

Report
from Norah Stoner
MPP Durham West
The Ministry of Consumer and Commercial Relations
recently introduced a new catalogue containing Ontario
film Review Board classifications of all films released on
video tape in Ontario from January 1, 1985 to September 1,
1989.
Ontario Consumer Minister Gregory Sorbara said, "The
ministry has developed this publication to help consumers
identify the rating of a film when renting or buying videos."
The proclamation of subsections 47A (1) and (2) of the
Theatres Act will come into effect on December 15, 1989.
They read as follows:
(1) No film exchange or agent or employee thereof shall
distribute a film classified as restricted to any person ap-
parently under the age of eighteen years:
(2) Subsection (1) does not appoly where the agent or
employee has received satisfactory evidence that the per-
son in question is eighteen years of age or more.
The Video Catalogue contains the title of the film, the On-
tario classification as assigned by the Ontario Film Review
Board, the running time in minutes and information pieces
about content made by the board. Update of titles classified
after September 1, 1989 will be issued initially every two
months.
The classificaiton system used in Ontario is set out in the
Theatres Act. A film with the classification Family is ap-
propriate for viewing by people of all ages. The board
believes parents should exercise discretion in permitting
their children to view films rated Parental Guidance. Adult
Accompanwment films are restricted to people fourteen
years of age or older or to younger than fourteen when ac-
companied by an adult. Persons under eighteen years of
age are prohibited from viewing films rated Restricted. An
explanation of Ontario's classification system appears on
the first page of the catalogue.
Video retailers who are licensed by the Theatres Section
of the ministry will be asked to post a notice indicating that
proof of age by the consumer will be regtured when buying
or renting videos with a restricted classification.
licensed video retailers will make the catalogue
available for viewing to consumers renting or purchasing
videos.
Copies of the catalogue are also available through the On-
tario Government Bookstore, Publications Ontario, at 89D
Bay Street. Toronto, for a fee of $9.00.
December loth. 1989 was International Human Rights
Day and December loth -16th was International Human
Rights Week. December loth. marked the 41st Anniversary
of the United Nations' Universal Declaration of Human
Rights, a document which serves as a model and an inspira-
tion for human rights legislation throughout the free world.
In the enactment of the Ontario Holman Rights Code. the
Government of Ontario has embraced the principles en-
shrined in the Declaration, paying tribute to the inherent
dignity and equal and inalienable rights of all members of
the human family.
Catherine Frazee, Chid Commissioner of the Ontario
Human Rights Commission says. "The Ontario Human
Rights commission has a unique role to play in the fur-
therance of these aims, but individual human rights com-
missions and human rights legislation alone cannot create
a society dedicated to the sprit of human rights."
..All organizations, communities, businesses, unions,
schools, religions institutions, media and concerned in-
dividuals must work together to build a society based on
equality of opportunity, quality of life, dignity and respect -
to build a community in which we can all contribute as
equals to the development of our province and coontry,..
said Ms. Frazee.
