The voting for an English only community at Sault Ste.
Marie as well as numerous other communities in Ontario is
not a vote against the French language or Quebec It is a
vote to protest the constant laying of costs on to local
government by the Peterson government.
When the government at Queen's Park decided to official-
ly place official bilingualism on various sectors of Ontario,
it was another unnecessary expenditure of provincial
money and it will result in more costs for the local property
taxpayer.
We believe that French should be available for a Cana-
dian who doesn't have adequate English. but in Ontario
most francophones know English and this move by Queen's
Park is just sheer waste of tax dollars.
It is interesting to note that Prime Minister Brian
Mulroney and Premier David Peterson both reacted
against the move by the Sault Ste. 'Marie council to declare
its city "English only". But where were these two leaders
when Quebec Premier Bourassa kept the French only sign
law- in Quebec. Of course. if we are to give Quebec special
privileges under the Meech lake agreement then one must
not criticize Quebec' And we thought that General Wolfe
defeated lMontcalm on the Plains of Abraham at Quebec
City'
Our provincial government recently sent our newspaper
a press release from Charles Beer. the minister in charge of
the bilingualism project. Guess what? The press release
was in French only'
Local councils are wrestling with another provincial law
which is going to cost local property taxpayers a lot of
taxes. We refer to the so-called "Pay Equity" law. This
idiotic legislation is arbitrarely raising women's pay at all
jobs on a weird system supposedly providing equality of
pay. Of course, it doesn't really do the job and results in

DINNER THEATRE:
Double Act is the current
pproduction at Stage West
TtreatreRestaurant. By all
means see it but if you seek
a message be advised that
one of the lines in it is
"Messages are what you
get on an answering
machine". Be further ad-
vised that laughs are what
you get in Double Act.
laughs and a few vagrant
tears.
A two character play, it
is the story of a couple who
can't live without each
other. After their divorce
they meet accidentally and
soon are back together
again only to .. well see the
play for yourself.
If the foregoing has sug-
gested that this Barry
Creyton play has more
than a passing
resemblance to Noel
Coward's Private Lives, it
is so intended. Whereas
however, Private lives is
brittle and apparently
superficial. Double Act is
earthy and not without
some substance.
Where Coward presents
two sophisticates who are
charming but not truly.
likeable, Barry Creyton
gives us two people who are
indeed likeable but not
always charming. One
doesn't know why Elyot
and Amanda of Private
Lives are the way they are;
one is given generous hints
bow• George and Alex of
Double Act have become
the people they are.
Though popular George
Segal is billed as the
nominal star, Alexandra
O'Karma is substantially
more than just a comic
foil; she has been given
some great zingers herself
and delivers them with
nicely controlled zest.
Mr. Segal is a master at
the art of looking bemused
while trying, and usually
succeeding, to be acerbic.
Yet in one brief scene
where he bares a painful
childhood memory to an
unseen psychiatrist his
transition from deliberate
insouciance to exposed
residual guilt brings a
lump to the throat.
Miss O'Karma is almost
painfully thin and by all
odds should be pinched and
hard. In fact, she is quite
one of the sexiest women
we've seen in many mon-
ths. Those eyes, those soft
blue eves and quivering
mouth!
It's difficult to determine
whether or not the George
and Alexandra of the play
deserve each other but
there is no doubt that
playgoers deserve to see
George Segal and Alexan-
dra O'Karma in Double
Act.
Private Lives it is not; a
double hit, double header it
most certainly is'

audiences for Noises Off, a
semi -farce about a play in
rehearsal, as seen by an
audience and as seen from
backstage.
After Benefactors,
however, he will unques-
tionably become known as
the long awaited successor
to Somerset Maugham not-
withstanding that Benefac-
tors combines elements of
Ayn Rand's The Foun-
tainhead and Coward's
Design for Living and
Private Lives. It is in cur-
rent presentation at The
Stage Downstairs (26
Berkeley St.) by the Cana-
dian Stage Company.
It is a serious comedy -no
contradiction -about two
couples. well. maybe one
and a half, and their effect
on each others' lives.
David and Jane are an
upscale man and wife in
post war England. He is an
idealistic architect work-
ing for the local council;
she is an anthropologist
with some sort of idea that
anthropology is a useful
social science.
Colin and Sheila. their
more or less friends, are
probably best described as
under achievers. He is a
half baked intellectual who
tries to be sardonic but in
fact is essence of twit; she
is a mactuavellian mouse
who declares a martyrdom
of self insufficiency but
who in fact is little more
than a schemer, deliberate
or otherwise.
The farmer couple take
the latter under their reluc-
tant wing and the latter
almost destroys them.
Heavy stuff? Indeed.
There are, however. laughs
sprinkled along the way to
relieve what could be the
tension of sustained
character revelation and to
remind an audience that
while the characters on
stage are true to life they
are still after all only on
stage Thank goodness,
The four riles are dif-
ficult ones but under the
firm guidance of Director
Michael Shamata the per-
formers rise nobly to the
occasion.
Torn McCamus is vital
and dynamic while living
with the fact that he knows
he must compromise his
ideals of living design to ac-
commodate vote catching
politicians. His very real
sympathy for Colin and
Sheila is manifest and one
admires him for it while be-
ing annoyed at his ap-
parent stupidity in not see-
ing them for what they are.
Nancy Palk as his wife is
all no nonsense efficiency,
a Margaret Mead with sex
appeal. She realizes Colin
and Sheila for what they
are but is confident in her
perceived superiority.
Dare one suggest she is a
typical anthropolgist?
Benedict Campbell in
character for the role is all
bush league Orson Welles
with booming voice and a
detached though accurate
view of the life around him.
One longs to give him a
swift kick and an admoni-
tion to get on with it rather
than commenting upon it. .
whatever "it" might be.
If one wishes to kick Colin,
then one wishes to strangle
his wife Sheila as played so
masterfully by Seana
McKenna. Here is
mousiness to perfection;
Uriah Heep in grey stock-
ings, she doesn't nag; she
whines.. about her own un-
worthiness while getting
others to take care of her.
Though the character
seeks sympathy it gets
understanding; an
understanding of what a
conniving little bitch she
really is. It is a plummy
role and Miss McKenna is
quite simply superb in it
though never superbly sim-
ple.
Benefactors might or
might not be a great or
even good play but is a fine
character study and this
production of it is another
feather in the cap of the
Canadian Stage Company.
SOAP TIME:
Anyone out there who
knows why soap operas are
called that? Not that it
matters but it goes back to
when they were on after-
noon radio and were spon-
sored by soap companies
that featured such brand
names as Chipso. Rinso.
Oxydol and Super Suds, the
last named incidentally
giving rise to the term
sudser.
Featured performers on
Soap Operas have now
achieved minor celebrity
status and frequently ap-
pear locally. Their ap-
pearances are usually on
weekends and usually in
shopping malls. To see
them one must mingle
cheek by jowl with shop-
pers. parka clad in winter
and bare spanked in sum-
mer. Eugh furgaces'
Well, if you want to meet
some of your more popular
stars in more sophisticated
surroundings, we suggest
you hie yourself to Massey
Hall this Sunday at 2 p.m.
for Stars of the Young and
the Wrestlers cops'
Restless.
Appearing will be Jerry.
Douglas ( John Abbott) who
looks constipated since his
face lift. Patty Weaver
( Gina Roma). Lauralee
Bell i Cricket) and Peter
Bergman ( the new Jack
Abbott) .
The foursome will
recreate some scenes from
the show and provide
musical entertainment ac-
companied by their own
travelling band.
Our release also states
that "audience members
may have a chance to meet
their favourites in a post -
show "touch -line"
session." We think that
means a receiving line and
one supposes that a capaci-
ty audience can't all be ac-
commodated given the
tight schedule of the per-
formers.
Even so, being entertain-
ed by favourites at Massey
Hall is much better than
subjecting oneself to a
weekend crush in any mall.
Tickets range in price
from $21.50 to $27.50 which
seems a bit steep to us but
then we've never been able
to understand why anyone
would pay that kind of a
price for a Maple Leaf
game.
Watch the fur fly over

Ontario Drama Festival
The Metro Toronto and
District Preliminaries of
the Sears Ontario Drama
Festival are set to begin on
Wed. Feb. 14th and con-
clude on Fri. Mar. 9th.
Over the course of 18
evenings of theatre, 39
Metro Toronto and district
high schools will present a
total of 54 productions for
adjudicator David Dayler,
a Hamilton educator and
director.
This season. the 44th
year of the festival, marks
a record number of entries
in this event.
The following Scar-
borough schools will be
hosts: Pearson C.I. &
Laurier C.I., Wed. Feb. 14;
Cedarbrae C.I. & Laurier
C.I., Thurs. Feb. 15; Sir
Oliver Mowat C.I., Woburn
each Friday until Apr. 30th
except for Feb. 23rd during
the week of the Shell
Canada School Concerts.
We think it's a grand way
to spend one's luncheon
while wondering, however,
if one will eat in time to the
music. Ever try to eat a
banana while watching a
mixed doubles tennis
match?
EXTENSION:
Scarce had we filed our
copy mentioning The Music
of Andrew Lloyd Webber
for a limited run on Sun-
days at The Pantages than
we received a further
release from the ever busy
Live Entertainment Cor-
poration advising of an ex-
tension to the run.
The show will now run
through till Mar. 25th.
If this keeps up, it'll pro-
bably rum as long as The
Phantom. Better get your
tickets now while you still
can.
FAST EXIT:

George Segal appear in the
motion picture "Who Is
Killing the Great Chefs of
Europe". We mention it
because if the great chefs
of Europe are being killed
off one can always find fine
North American fare at
Stage West. We have men-
tioned the roast beef from
the buffet many times but
are prompted now to
declaim about the horse
radish one can and should
have with it.
It is horse radish as it
should be prepared. And if
it doesn't clear your
sinuses, nothing will! You
have been advised.

Coach Marilyn Devine
was full of praise for all the
personal best times achiev-
ed by her age -groupers at
this meet. It is very satisfy-
ing to see their hard work
being rewarded.
Working with the Scar-
borough Swim Club board
of directors to make this
meet an enjoyable ex-
perience was the Agincourt
Civitan Service Organiza-
tion which operated a very
delectable snack bar ser-
vice to keep the young
swimmers, their parents
and all the officials well fed
and satisfied. A swim meet
of this magnitude is an all
day two day affair and the
good food, coffee, and plea-
sant service of the Civitan
ladies and gentlemen was
much appreciated by all.

Story Of Red Cross Transfusion Service
The Canadian Red Cross
Blood Transfusion Service
( BTS) is one of the more
important lifesaving pro-
jects in Canada. Although
the service was in-
augurated in 1947, its story

earlier, with the opening of
Canada's first blood donor
clinic.
Established at Toronto's
Grace Hospital on Jan. 29,
1940, the first clinic was
created by the Red Cross to
collect blood for Canadian

Until the end of the war
in 1945, all Canadian Red

blood were processed to
help injured soldiers and
civilians overseas.
At the end of the war,
several hospital associa-

quired a patient's friends
and family to donate twice
the amount of blood ad-
ministered to the patient as
repayment for blood used.
In 1945 the Canadian Red
Cross invited Dr. William
Stuart Stanbury to conduct
a nationwide survey among
Canadian hospitals for the
purpose of establishing a
peacetime blood transfu-
sion service. Five years
earlier, Dr. Stanbury had
organized a transfusion
service in England: he
soon laid the foundations
for a more ambitious Cana-
dian achievement, a free
blood transfusion service
across Canada. (Dr. Stan -
bury was appointed Na-
tional Commissioner of the
Canadian Red Cross in
1949, a position he held until
his death in 196:1-1)
The Red Cross in-
augurated its new service
on Jan. 21. 1947 with the
Vancouver 'Blood Depot-.
The service was extended
year by year until national
coverage was completed in
Quebec City in 1961. The
service has continued to
grow and now there are 17
blood transfusion centres
throughout the country.
providing blood and blood
products free of charge to
patients in more than 900
hospitals.
Advances in medicine
and medical technology
have kept pace with - in-
deed often made possible -
this growth in service. The
method of taking blood im-
proved significantly with
the use of disposable sterile
needles and ever more
sophisticated equipment.
The product itself has
also changed. "Closed
system" plastic collection
bags, which replaced glass
bottles in 1965. have
facilitated the production
of a number of blood coirn-
ponents and products.
Because whole blood is now
rarely transfused directly,
but separated into its
various components - for
example. platelets and red
cells - a single donation can
help as many as four pa-
tients.
More than 20 different
components and products
are produced from blood to
help accident and burn vic-
tims, cancer patients,
organ transplant recipients
and people with
hemophilia. among others.
Theconstant goal of the
BTS is to provide a safe and
adequate blood supply for
all Canadians. In 1972 the
Red Cross began testing all
donations for Hepatitis B.
In 1985 it implemented
AIDS testing at all centres.
Health assessment Tues
tionnaires. completed by
all dons. were introduced
to further safeguard the
health of both donors and
recipients.
One thing has not chang-
ed in all the thousands of
clinics the Red Cross has
held over 50 years: the
need for volunteer donors.
Without the selfless
generosity of volunteers,
the BTS could not function.
Currently. the Red Cross
requires 5,000 blood donors
a day across Canada if it is
to meet the blood and blood
product needs of Canadian
hospital patients.
With no blood substitute
on the immediate horizon,
with new medical
technologies and
treatments that require
large volumes of blood be-
ing developed, and as the
population ages and in-
creases, the need for
donors will likely grow. For
the forseeable future,
volunteer blood donors will
continue to be the backbone
of the Canadian Red Cross
Blood Transfusion Service.

Ghosts And Grog In
Denmark For The Tourists
Denmark's reputation
for spirits comes mostly
from aquavit, beer and
Hamlet's father, but there
are some lesser known
;goodies waiting for the
tourist with an inquiring
mind.
Take, for example, the
Gray Lady and the White
Lady, who don't have the
same recognition factor as
Hamlet's father but are
real Danish ghosts. not im-
ports from England.
Moreover, even at their
worst (which can be pretty
bad in the case of the White
Lady) they're decidedly
more attractive than any
deceased king of Danish
fact or English fiction.
Both are among the
ghostly denizens of
Dragsholm Slot (the
Dragon's Home). a
medieval castle here at
Hoerve, west of
and, unlike
Ham) ather. both are
available for guest ap-
pearances. although of
their own time and choos-
ing. You simply book a
room at the castle and wait
for them to stow up.
If you are having a good
day it will be the Gray
Indy who comes calling,
because she's a quiet, plea-
sant lass who knows her
place and seems more in-
terested in the castle's
housekeeping problems
than in haunting. She's the
kind of a spirit who decks
that the beats are made and
that the waitresses and
maids anent stealing. So
the most you'll get from
her is a pair of downcast
eyes and a deferentud bob.
The White Lady is
something completely dif-
ferent, a screaming horror
who roams the rooms and
corridors in a blood-stained
dress calling for
vengeance. No downcast
eyes or deferential bob
here. She looks like she'd
like to take you with her.

connection with the
skeleton of a young woman
found in a hidden room
when the castle was
renovated recently.
The story goes that

matriarch of the castle

man who was not only mar-
ried, but was of the lower
classes. So. in dreadful

There's no guarantee. They

But they are an oft -

door won't save you.

Virgin Sectarian's Room
(a single, naturally) but
most choose double rooms

However, the ghosts

It was built as an enor-

in the year 1200, survived
attacks and sieges down
the troublesome centuries,
was burned by the Swedes
in the 17th century and rose
again as the seat of the
Adeler family, descendants
of naval hero Cort Adeler.
The Adelers lived there
for 250 years. but in the
1900s the land was dinded
and sold to a number of
people and the castle itself
fell into disuse and
disrepair until taken over
by a Danish company
which, with government
support, has restored it
again and turned it into a
plush and opulent hostelry,
a window on to the past.
It has 25 high-cedinged
guests rooms, all different,
in towers, battlements, tur-
rets, up stairs and down
corridors, tucked away
here and sprawled there,
all furnished with antiques
and all harkening back to
other centuries.
There are great rooms of
state and comfortable
nooks, ceremonial cannons
that guests are sometimes
allowed to fire and a
dungeon where poor wret-
ches of other centuries
shivered away their lives
while the bishop and his
successors made merry
above.

Race Is On
ship race, Conservatives
from all across Scar-
borough enthusiastically
welcomed the kickoff as
the fust stage of a process
leading up to the next pro
vincial election - expected
in the fall of 1990.
Representatives from
the six Scarborough
ridings. North. East. West.
Centre, Agincourt and
Ellesmere, have been
meeting regularly over he
post year to lay the ground-
work for the process.
This unprecedented com-
mitment of co-operation
among Scarborough
Tories, driven by a desire
to elect six Tories in the
next election will
culminate on Election Day
- Sat. May 12, 1990. On this
day, voters from all six
ridings will vote for the
leader of their choice at one
conurion voting location -
the Scarborough Civic Cen-
tre.
All Scarborough PC's
welcome the leadership
race as a way of bringing
forth new ideas and
policies. Buoyed by there -
cent drop in the popularity
polls for the Peterson
Liberals. this race pro-
mises to bring many new
and former PC's into the
Conservative fold. It is ex-
pected that this rejuvena-
tion will lead to a PC vic-
tory in the next election.
Manv issues will arise
during this leadership
race. One issue Scar-
borough Tones hope will be
discussed is a common
Scarborough issue - the
preservation of the Rouge
Valley. Both federal and
provincial Tones support
the complete preservation
of the Rouge.
Peterson, until now, has
not ruled out the building of
homes, roads or a dump on
the provincially owned
land in the Rouge. Scar-
borough PC's hope the
leadership race will put in-
creased pressures on the
Premier to snake a definite
statement on whether or
not he intends to fully
preserve the Rouge Valley.

Commission
Meetings
Starting this January,
the Pay Equity Commis-
sion began a series of
clinics in local libraries for
working women, to inform
them of their rights under
the Pay Equity Act.
So far, ten clinics are
scheduled throughout On-
tario. The clinics will be led
by a staff member of the
Pay Equity Commission, in
co-operation with local
community groups.
Each clinic will provide
basic information about
pay equity. Women who at-
tend will learn how the
legislation will affect them
and how to complain if they
are not satisified.

with Rene Soetens, M.P.
"That, in the opinion of this House, the government
should consider the advisability of entering into negotia-
tions with the government of Ontario to establish a
wilderness reserve or heritage park to protect the en-
vironmental uniqueness and importance of the Rouge River
Valley system in Scarborough."
With this statement the M.P. for Scarborough Centre,
Pauline Browes, led off the motion which calls on the
Government of Canada to enter into negotiations with the
Government of Ontario to establish a wilderness reserve or
heritage park, to protect the Rouge Valley System. Mrs.
Browes urged all members of the House of Commons to
support this motion, to prove that we are ready to take ac-
tion to save the Rouge Valley for generations to come.
The history of the Rouge Valley dates back to the ancient
Indian tribes that first settled there in 2DOU B.C. The first
European settlers explored what was then called the Ket-
chie Sepee or great river in 1793. Renamed the Rouge River
due to the colour that was added to the water from clay
deposits along its shores, the Rouge River Vallev system

HIGHLIGHTING THE LAST SESSION - PART 3
The Third Session of the Thirty -Fourth Parliament came
to a close on December 20. 1989. This is the third installment
of our review of the last session and my Government's con-
tinued efforts to implement a reform agenda that will
secure a better future for all residents of Ontario.
SOCIAL ASSISTANCE
*Effective October 1. 1969, a new $22 million Supports to
Employment Program ( STEP ) intended to remove bar-
riers to employment for individuals receiving social
assistance.
*Benefit increases in the amount of $54 million for families
with children.
*Significant increases in wages 130% retroactive to
September 1. 19691 and a training package for Visiting
Homemakers who care primarily for the elderly and
physically disabled in the amount of $28.9 million. This in-
itiative provides much needed relief to 14,000 Ontario
homemakers.
*Community service agencies prodding services to per-
sons with developmental and physical handicaps and vic-
tims of family violence will receive $20 million to increase
compensation to their over I0AX)0 employees (retroactive to
September 1. 19891.
'This year, the Ministry will provide more than $60 million
indirect Operating Grants• which will result in an average
X3.000 increase in the annual salaries of child care workers.
*Significant commitments were made for the compceten-
sive reform of Long Term Care, designed to maintain the
independence of Ontario's seniors and people with physical
disabilities by supporting their family caregivers and
strengthening the ability of communities to plan and
manage responsive services.
CONSUMER AND COMMERCIAL RELATIONS
*There were important improvements to the OMVAP - On-
tario Motor Vehicle Arbitration Plan.
'The government has agreed to extend Sunday operating
hours for licensed establishments by two hours. All
premises currenUy allowed to open on Sundays can take ad-
vantage of the longer hours.
FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS
*In October 1989, the Minister for Financial Institutions in-
troduced the Insurance Statute Law Amendment Act 1989,
for first reading. On December S. 1989, the Bill passed se-
cond reading and has been referred to the Standing Com-
mittee on General Government for full public hearings.
This legislation will ensure affordable auto insurance
rates and a comprehensive accident benefit plan to protect
the more than six million Ontario drivers.
WOMEN'S ISSUES
*As part of Wife Assault Prevention month in November
1989. the Minister highlighted the government's programs
for the prevention of wife assault in Ontario. The govern-
ment is committed to a long-term wife assault prevention
strategy that integrates and co-ordinates assaulted
women's needs. Central to the strategy is the transfer of
grants to local organizations carrying out commnmity
education projects.
This concludes the overview of the last session that ran
from October 10, 1989 to December 2D, 1989.
1 would like to remind my constituents that if you have
any questions or concerns please don't hesitate to contact
my office at 2 Randall Drive in Pickering Village, Ajax or
call us at 6K -iW.
Don't forget to tune in and watch the Stoner Report on
Cable 10 (Ajax) Thursdays at 8 p.m., Saturdays at 11:30
p.m. and Sundays at 9 a.m.
stands today as 10,000 acres of wilderness reserve in the
midst of the largest city in Canada, metropolitan Toronto.
The Range Valley represents a most unique resource for
a metropolitan area: an urban wilderness. The valley con-
tains over 70 different native tree species, 400 different
kinds of flora and three areas of Carolinian forest
designated by the World Wildlife Fund of Canada as
critically unprotected. Inhabitants of the valley include
deer, bald eagles, foxes, coyotes and 16 other kinds of mam-
mals. All of this is a mere car ride away for the residents of
Ontario Riding. To lose this "oasis" would be an outrage.
I fully support Mrs. Browes' motion to save the Rouge
and it was indeed a pleasure to see the motion get the sup-
port of the House it so richly deserved. The fate of the valley
now rests with the Ontario Government and Premier David
Peterson. It is time that the provincial government of On-
tario understood the importance of preserving the Rouge.
On January 23rd, representatives of Du Pont Canada Inc.
appeared before the House of Commons Standing Commit-
tee on Environment. Du Pont has committed itself to the en-
vironment and adopted a practice which it refers to as
"Corporate Environmentalism". For many years, Du Pont
has been recognized as an environmental leader in the in-
dustrial world and has demanded that it perform at levels
above legal requirements.
The minimization of risk through regular assessments,
public participation, reduction of the generation of hazar-
dous by-products and major recycling initiatives are just
some of the actions that Du Pont mentioned before the Com-
mittee. Du Pont has also led the way in committing itself to
a complete phase-out of fully halogenated CFC's in advance
of the date in the Montreal Accord. To substantiate their
words, Du Pont will invest over one $1 billion to research,
develop and commercialize alternative, environmentally -
safe products. It has long been a belief of mine that industry
and the environment are not natural enemies. Du Pont has
strengthened this belief.
