The letter from John Trout in your March 21st paper headed up, "Fed Up With Votes of Ontario Towns" makes me fed up too, but for an entirely different reason. Let me put Mr. Trout's position in perspective, he's in the Political Science Dept. of Ottawa University which is a strictly French University in Ottawa which thinks only fran- cophone thoughts. Since he is in a political science dept. in Ontario, you would think he would know something about the political problems here but no, like all francophones he yells about Sault Ste. Marie voting English only as their Of- ficial language. They didn't pass a 178 type bill prohibiting French signs, or stop people from having a choice of which language school they could attend like they did in the ghetto province of Quebec. Where was Mr. Trout in 1977 when the Quebec government passed Bill 101 making the Province of Quebec a French only province? Has Mr. Trout ever objected to our federal government (which is francophone dominated) wasting our tax money, when we are in great debt, on sub- sidizing every Francophone organization all across Canada and encouraging them to cause trouble when they make ridiculous demands on the provincial governments? No, you won't hear a peep from him. Now to inform this so-called political scientist Trout what really happened in Sault Ste. Marie. The Sault French students were getting their French lessons in the separate school system when the parents heard that the separate school was considering taking in some English students in the classes. Now they couldn't have their little darlings rub- bing shoulders with the hated English so. about 50 families withdrew their children from the separate school and they went over to the public school board and demanded that the public board build them a school strictly for francophones and also a separate place to be used as a social centre for the same group. The cast for these would be 13 million or more. You can- not blame the Sault, they don't print money• and this far- cical example of a premier, David Peterson, has cut back financing for the schools and even fasted all the costs of teaching multicultural languages on the municipal boards when Ontario had agreed to paying about half the cost. What is I Pierre I Peterson doing with all this money he has siphoned off the education and the health services (that is why the hospitals are underfunded I why. he is using it to pay for (Bill 81 now known as "French Language Services Act 1996" which was put into effect for the benefit of 4.6% of our Ontano population, while statistics show that 25% of our population is functionally illiterate I cannot read or w•ntel. Where should this money go'. To those that need it most, the 25%. Did you noticewhat groups Mr. Trout wants to get rid of? Why the Alliance for the Preservation of English in Canada who tells the public all about the shyster tricks of the federal government and the Ontario government in par- ticular and any others that we find. and CORE, The Con- federation of Regions party in New Brunswick. Why CORE' It's out to make New Brunswick Off ical English Ohu- ly and that is bothering Mr. Trout's Frenchies in N.B. Guess he hasn't heard about Mr. Maiming's Reform Party yet. Bruce A.

Electricity Consumption Ontario Hydro customers consumed a total of 12.3 million megawatt -hours during the month of February: almost ex- actly what was consumed during the same period in 1989. The 20 minute monthly peak during February 1990 was 22.314 megawatts compared with the February 1989 peak of 22,620 megawatts. The consistent demand for electricity can be attributed to the unseasonably mild weather ex- perienced during the month. news ` oaf -1 Published every Wednesday by Watson Publishing Company Limited.

DAVID SOMERVILLE Business Subsidies Attacked If Canadian businesses want to compete in the emerging global economy they had better jump off the federal government's gravy train. That's the conclusion of a recent report by two University of Toronto professors entitled New Visions for Canadian Busi- ness: Strategies for Compering to the Global Economy. The repoR commissioned by Kodak Canada Inc., says that govern- ment subsidies to business un- dermine entrepreneurship and harm the development of com- panies wishing to compete inter- nationally. Such subsidies. umforbmately. have becwne a way of life in Canada. Every year the govem- ment, through agencies mike the Western Diversification Office (WDO) and the Atlantic Canada Opporamities Agency (ACOA). doles out hundreds of millions of tax dollars to artificially stimu- late business activity. The study says that these sub- sidies encourage a harmful ten- dency on the part of Canadian business to look to govemmew to solve their problems of inter- national compeativeness. How- ever, says the study, "only those businesses that learn to compete . en udionally without govern- ment promcooa can build the in- ternal competitive advantages for long-term survival and growth". The study says that for "Canadian business managers, the challenge will be to wean their businesses away from heavy dependence on govern - Ironically, business leaders themselves recognize the need to cut back on subsidies. Organiza- tions like the Canadian Chamber of Commerce and the Canadian Federation of Independent Busi- ness have urged the government to slash financial assistance to businesses as a way to reduce federal spending and the national deficit. Did the govemmennt listen? Unfortunately. no. In the last federal budget the Mulroney government simply replaced govemmennt grants with repay- able banns. This still puts the government in the position of trying to pick winners and losers like Bricklin and Suncor - and competing with banks, trust companies and venture capital firms. Also. the ACOA. WDF and other agencies mice them kept their allocations, meaning hundreds of millions of tax dol- lars will continue to be wastedon As a result, businesses that continue to accept goveatment handouts will contirow their de- pendency and will ultimately suffer through a lack of inde- pendence and octatpeativeness. In the end all Canadian will be the losers. If Canada's economy is to continue No grow in the 21st century our busi- nesses will have to be lean, effi- cient operations capable of competing with the world's best.

All Candidates' Meeting The six Scarborough Pro- vincial Progressive Con- servative Riding Associa- tions, North, East, Ellesmere, Centre, West and Agincourt will be hosting a leadership can- didate meeting on Wed. Apr. 11th in the council chambers of the Scar- borough Civic Centre. Former Scarborough West MP Reg Stackhouse will be the guest moderator as Scarborough Conser- vatives ask questions of the two candidates - Mike Har- ris and Dianne Cunn- ingham. Doors open for the meeting at 6:30 p.m. and at 7:30 p.m. Chairman Jack Dudley will welcome peo- ple to the meeting. Toronto Reunion Of World War dl's Military Police The Canadian Provost Corps, otherwise known as the military police during World War II, will mark its 50th an- niversary this year. With celebrations to take place in Ot- tawa June 15th -17th, the Toronto Area Association is now trying to rejuvenate contact with local members living in the Golden Horseshoe section. Many have not seen each other in at least 22 years when the Cotes disbanded and will have a chance on May 10, 7 p.m. at Moss Park Armoury, l3o Queen St. E., in the officer's mess. "We want to contact as many corps members as possible from the Oshawa to the Fort Erie region. It will allow former military police types to get together in the spirit of comradeship and nostalgia," said Bob Thomas, who is the driving force behind the local reunion. Interested members, including the association's Honourary Colonel Andy Ritchie, held the first meeting on Feb. 20th. Although 20 members attended, this was not representative of the membership during the war's end, when there were 8,000 members across Canada. It is an- ticipated that there is a significant number in the Golden Horseshoe area, which was the hub of military activity. After the war, the corps served with the NATO and in the United Nations peace keeping operations in areas such as Korea, Egypt, Cypress and the Belgian Congo. Equality For All The Ontario Human Rights Commission (O.H.R.C.) has recently embarked upon a media blitz to convince Ontario citizens that their pnmary goal is to ensure equality for all. However, it is difficult to take the O.H.R.C. seriously when their own hiring policies reflect blatant discrimina- tion. According to information received through the "Freedom of Information Act", visible minorities in the O. H. R. C. are over represented by 175%. Francophones by 66%. and women by 37%. The credibility of the O.H.R.C. is further tarnished by their endorsement of the Ontario College of Arts "Women Only" hiring policy despite an alarming 14% unemploy- ment rate for young males. The O.H.R.C. has also remained conspicuously silent while English speaking citizens are denied equal opportuni- ty to government jobs because they cannot speak French. On the religious scene, The O. H. R. C. is fighting for the tight of Sikh children to carry religious daggers to school while our government callously removes Christian values. In view of all this, it is little wonder that a policital reform movement is now sweeping our country. This movement, which originated in the west is demanding government for the people by the people. It is time for decent citizens to stand up and be counted. A.R. Walker Sault Ste. Marie. Ont. Zebra Mussels Are Creating An Ecological Disaster In Lakes Zebra mussels. already creating an ecological disaster in the Great Lakes, will inevitably spread throughout Ontario's inland waters, threatening ancient aquasysterns, experts say. But Ontario's reaction to the threat appears to be miniscule and ineffective, said Dr. Terry Quinney, Provin- cial Coordinator of Fish and Wildlife Services for the On- tario Federation of Anglers and Hunters. Both Ontario and American scientists say the Zebra in- festation will easily dwarf the environmerital effects of last year's Exxon oil spill in Alaska. The toll taken by the mussels could surpass 15 years of acid rain damage to fish stocks in half the time, they say. Zebra mtssels will cost billies of dollars before the end of the decade by devastating spawning grounds for dozers of fish species• including walleye (pickerel). bass and whiteftsh; devouring plankton, a prime food source for young fish; causing vast damage to ships, boats. naviga- tional buys, piers and industrial water intake lines; cover- ing beaches with live and dead mussels; and threatening to taint some drinking water supplies. Despite the zebra threat, and the admission that almost every inland lake and river could soon be filled with them, the Ontario Natural Resources Ministry is slow to move, said Quinney. Although Miruster Lyn McLeod recently pro- mised the OFAH that the Ministry will treat the dreaded mussels as "top priority", few dollars have been assigned, the Federation has learned.

Centennial Rouge United Church Women The regular monthly meeting of the Cantenmal- Rouge United Church Women was held at the hoarse of Mrs. Carol Carter on Mar 13, in conjunction with the Social Justice Committee's Lenten Ser- vice of Studies on the en- vironment entitled "The role of the individual in solving global problems" Anne -Marie Switzer chaired the meeting and Libby McMaster gave a talk on "Re -cycling" and "Preservation of Land". She informed the group about some companies who make use of material for recycling which otherwise would be garbage. Discus - cion followed about poten- tial recycling of products in the horse. At a further meeting in the series on Mar. 20 Bill Dempsey outlined his in- volvement with the Centen- nial Community and Recreation Association over 40 years with par- ticular reference to the preservation of the Centen- nial Watercourse and other environmental issues. Due to illness, President Joyce Helyar was unable to be present. It is hoped that sbe will be well soon and return to the meetings from which sbe is greatly missed. Mariposa In The Schools Holds 2 Concerts Apr.14 Mariposa In The Schools (M1TS ) has announced two concerts to be held at Roy Thomson Hall on Sat. Apr. 14th in celebration of its 20th Anniversry. The con- certs will take place at 1:30 and 4 p.m. Hosted by MITS pioneers Sharon, Lois & Bram, the concert will also feature ar- tists who are currently in Mariposa In The Schools: TV star Eric Nagler, Juno - award winner Sandra Beech, recording artists Kim & Jerry Brodey. Chris & Ken Whiteley, Joe Hamp- son & Ted Roberts of "The Travellers", Rich & Judy, Bill Russell, Deborah Dunleavy, award-winning author Caroline Parry and others. MITS was founded in 1969 by Sharon Hampson, Klaas Van Graft and Chick Roberts in order to con- tinue the exciting, par- ticipatory activities of the children's area at the Mariposa Folk Foundation on a year-round basis. The idea took off im- mediately and within a few short years, the MITS roster included such artists as Sharon, Lois & Bram, Raffi, Chris & Ken Whiteley and Rick Avery. Artists such as Salome Bey, Grit Laskin, the Honolulu Heartbreakers, John Allen Cameron and Robert Paquette were also members of MrM but have left to pursue other in- terests than children's music. MITS continues to at- tract those artists whose love and understanding of children translate into special moments. MITS is a non-profit, charitable organization which is guided by a 14 volunteer board of direc- tors. There are currently 44 artists in MITS whose pro- grams run the gamut of contemporary and tradi- tional folk arts. Programs are presented in music, storytelling, dance, puppetry, theatre, magic and crafts in English, French, German, Hebrew, Yiddish or Spanish. In 1988189, over 2,300 concerts and workshops were presented across Ontario, with an estimated audience of 290,000. Since its beginnings 20 years ago, MITS has presented programs to over one million children and their families. Please Don't Drink & Drive Wed.

HERITAGE NOTES An Or'_t of l' -m irnno Fort George looks peaceful now, but on October 13, 1812, this fort, located on the Niagara River about two kilometres from Lake Ontario, was the scene of frenzied activity. It was on this day that a red-hot cannon -ball, launched from an American fort on the other side of the river, landed on Fort George's powder magazine. What could have been 800 barrels of gunpowder exploding turned into an amazing act of courage. A small part of local militiamen and Royal artillerymen climbed onto the maga- zine roof, tore off the metal, and extinguished the fire before it could ignite the gunpowder. The powder magazine is the only fort building to have survived the War of 1812 and the neglect that ensued. The remaining buildings of Fort George were restored and, since 1950, have been open to the public as a national historic park. For more information about Fort George, write Environment Canada.

Apr. 4, 1990 Bill Watt's Worlds DINNER THEATRE: A Chorus Line is dead. Long live A Chorus Line! Okay, that's a bit high blown but it sums up the way we, as a reviewer, feel about this fine musical. Though the original pro- duction has now ended its decade and a half run on Broadway and established itself in theatre records, A Chorus Line will not die . . not so long as there are au- diences to enjoy a possible best in dancing, music, humour and drama. And, not so long as there are excellent earthbound productions of it such as the one currently playing the Limelight Dinner Theatre. More than 400 dancers were screened and I or audi- tioned for less than 20 roles. That should give some idea of the excellence of this production meticulously ',put together by Director ,Adolf Toman who just keeps getting better and better like A Chorus Line. We have seen it at least five times now and believe this current mounting to be the one we have most en- joyed. As a reviewer we are often asked what is or was the best presentation of this or that production. Such an answer is not possible nor should it be. given the varying criteria of performance. It is permissible, however, to state one's own personal preference and in those terms, terms of en- joyment, this offering of A Chorus Line is the one we have enjoyed the most. There might well be or have been better ones but this is our favourite. The members of the cast are largely unknown to us but the talent is manifest. A Chorus Line is of course a dancer's dream and most respond with enthusiasm to it but this time 'round the cast positively soars. Open- ing night adrenalin? Perhaps but methinks that all will continue to soar un- til the end of the run. As always, one wishes it were possible to mention each performer but the demon of space will not allow. We cannot be decried the pleasure however of declaring all members to be excellent as dancers and good as singers and actors. Michael Hanrahan as Tach, the director might ,just be possibly too harsh in substituting a lash for the carrot favoured byre really good directors but does not ask more of the dancers than he himself is prepared and willing to do. Brad Cormier does well as his assistant. Many could treat it as a throw awav role but Mr. Cormier CASTLE HILL STEAK HOUSE Steak, Ribs & Seafood DINNER SPECIAL - Mon. -Wed. B.B.G.

Gail Patrice Matheson as Cassie might have peaked in her emotional high too early but that didn't affect her fine, almost frenetic dancing. Christine Donato is a pro- perly voluptuous Sheila and Kim Scarcella is a poignant Maggie. The most moving dramatic performance is that of Jack Horne as the pathetic Paul; the musical show stopper is Diana Platts' rendition of the T. & A. song. She is a tiny little thing but all curves that she moves in a manner almost but not quite erotic. Great sense of humour, too. Musical Director Don Horsburgh dri ves the small orchestra hard but it gets an extra kick from the dynanow drumming of Bruce Philip.

She finds herself back in Shakespeare's time and in- terplaying with the characters of the plays to real comedic effect. The role is a flmd one but iltiss Lynda does not in- dulge herself, well not often anyway. At one point she finds herself dressed as a boy and being pursued by a gay Romeo and an unsatisfied Juliet who is nothing more than a shallow teenager novo obsessed with sex and dying for it. The shenanigans are quite hilarious. The remaining quartet of performers play multiple roles and it's difficult for one to know in which par ticular nae each excels. Derek Boyes is a white Othello; a properly sullen Tybalt; a pompous, conniv- ing professor and Juliet's nurse in full beard and drag. Delicious! Beverley Cooper is a sexy Juliet, a slut of a stu- dent and mysterious messenger. Diana Fajrajsi is quite remarkable as a feisty Desdemona, a posturing Mercutio and a mincing castrato to mention only a trio of her five roles. Martin Julien is the aforementioned bi-Romeo, Chorus, an ineffectual Iago and a Ghost. One will realize then one's difficulty in assessing best of best to a best of best cast. Now, we're sounding like Miss Macdonald. We wish. Banuta Rubess directs with an easy but firm hand and the music of Nic Gotham is properly mood setting, not intrusive. Welcome back Desi and Julie; don't stay away again.

What ever the title however, it re - maim that The Show -Off is an excellent play deserving of its continuing popularity and your custom. CASTING CALL: The Canadian Children's Opera Chorus is holding auditions for the 1990 '91 season. They will take place during the months of April, May and June. For more information and audition applications, contact Suzanne Bradshaw at the Canadian Opera Company or 'phone 3660167. Good luck to all. IN CABARET: Classical Cabaret con- tinues to offer good if sometimes esoteric enter- tainment. This Sunday afternoon at the George Ig- natieff Theatre it's percus- sionist Beverley Johnston. The young lady is a marim- ba specialist and we find wanderingourself in sf t hewill l many hop the arrangements of Marimba Chiapas, par- ticularly Hot Natchos. Joining Ms. Johnston will be soprano Diana Lewarne and baritone John Avey whose performances with the C.O.C. Ensemble we have been monitoring with much pleasure. As yet, we have not been asked to tap dance. We have not been refused mind you, just deferred. Something about Hell freezing over we think .. . ON RECORD: Locksmith Blues by the Red Holloway/Clark Terry Sextet ( Concord Jazz) is an agreeable piece of light jazz. We've always thought that only Dixieland or Mouldy Fig should be played by small groups and that swing/jazz is properly the domain of the big bands. That's why we are less than enthusiastic about Locksmith Blues; we just can't warm to it. That isn't to say that there is not much to enjoy here. Cotton Tail hops along nicely and Hitting The Road Again has its undeniable moments. Good rhythm guitar by Phil Upchurch ( that sounds like a minister's plea on a Sunday) and good honest piano by Gerald Wiggins. If you like sextet jazz, go for Locksmith Blues. As for us, we felt just a tad locked out. FAST EXIT: Now that President George Bush has joined the cute little boy of the ched- dar cheese commercial in declaring a dislike for broc- coli, count upon enterpris- ing promoters to quote his quite human comments in promoting the sale of the green delicacy. One suspects that broc- coli, which our children us- ed to call "little green trees" will soon be nicknamed the George bush, maybe even the Real George bush. Sometimes we could almost wish to be not quite so clever. Almost but not quite. Friends Share $20,000 Two friends who have been buying Provincial lot- tery tickets jointly for about ten years won the choice of either a car or $20,000 in the Ontario Lot- tery Corporation's Provin- cial game by scratching three matching spaces. Marie Turner of Toronto and Elizabeth Clark of Scarborough opted for the $20,000 instead of the Pon- tiac car.

Earlier versions of this play have enjoyed con- siderable success, most recently in public readings at the Leah Posluns Theatre as part of the Basya Hunter Ptayreading Series, and at Center Stage Reader Theatre, in Rochester, New York. Set in Montreal "Winter - song" tells the story of an immigrant family, uprooted by World War Two, who try to build a new life in Canada. We look back to the early seventies, through the eyes of the daughter, Anna - almost forty at that time and un- married, a fact about which her mother never ceases to chide her - and in- to a time in her life when changed- Sheeverything a flat with her widowed mother, charm- ing, clever, still dreaming of her privileged life in the old country" Anna tries to juggle her obligations and still make a life for herself. There is humor as well as drama in the script, which has struck respon- sive chords in audiences of all backgrounds. Opening night, Apr. 18 and the closing perfor- mance, Apr. 21, have been sold to community groups.

Wins $5000 For Cheese Recipe Lori Haynes of Scar- borough recently won $5,000 cash for her Cheese and Spinach Casserole recipe which she entered in the Cook with Kraft Cheese Contest during last fall's Great Canadian Cheese Festival. Her recipe was judged one of the six best recipes nationwwide by a panel of experts who met in Toronto in February for a day -long taste testing. The Great Canadian Cheese Festival is a yearly major promotion which aP pears in Canadian grocery stares in the fall. The objec. five of the 1989 event was to encourage Canadians to cook with Canadian cheeses and fresh vegetables, meats or bakery products. The contest offered a $5,000 cash prime for the best cheese recipe in each of six regions - Atlantic Canada, Quebec, Ontario, the Prairies, Alberta, and British Columbia. The contest attracted over 4,000 entries from across Canada.

"Ontario is Canada's most entrepreneurial pro- vince, said Kwinter. "Bet- ween 1978 and 1987 small business created almost 75% of all new jobs in the province. In a one year Period, 1988-88, more than 160,000 new companies were registered or incor- porated here. And one quarter of the over 400,000 self-employed here are women." The report entitled, "The State of Small Business, 1989" is the fourth edition of the annual publication. It tensified the need to be cost competitive. These factors, when com- bined with rapid technological changes in a capital intensive industry, have resulted in the need for Canadian printers to better utilize their resources. Metro Toronto Board of Trade Executive Summary 11"6 Ontario Pre -budget Soubmissim Mw concern over its business taxation in On- tario, in particular the Employer Health and Com- mercial Concentration Taxes, which have, along with the costs of com- pliance with new pay equi- ty and environmental legislation, pushed Ontario "into the major leagues of high tax, high cost Jurisdic- tions. " urisdio-tions." The board emphasizes that "it would not want to see the future com- petitiveness of Ontario's in- dustries further jeopardiz- ed . . by the provincial government's escalating revenue demands." The board also com- ments on a wide variety of other policy matters, in- cluding the need to: foes more on preventive health care to reduce system costs; undertake cost - benefit analyses of all new environmental initiatives; improve Metro's transpor- tation infrastructure; pro- vide incentives which would increase the supply of housing; and to initiate programs which would im- prove worker training and enhance apprenticeship programs. The board also comments on a number of specific taxation issues. The board met with the Treasurer on February 27 to discuss the content of its pre -budget submission ( see Policy In Action) and has requested a meeting with the Ontario Standing Com- mittee on Finance and Economic Affairs. Customs Clearance at Pearson Airport This past December the Revenue Minister announc- ed new, dedicated customs clearance lines for Cana- dian citizens arriving at Pearson Airport. The board supports the in- itiative to reduce terminal congestion, but also re- quests further information on a full "red door -green door" policy, present at most European airports, to expedite processing fur- ther. was produced for burr s Committee of Parliamen- tary Assistants for Small Business, which is current- ly chaired by Doug Car- rothers, MPP for Oakville South. This year's report focuses primarily on the entrepreneur and includes a section on people employed in small businesses. It also contains new data on business failures, reporting that slightly less than half of all start-ups fail in the first three years. This is much lower than the generally acknowledged 80 percent failure rate. The report also examines both the economic impact and the role of government in small business. It con- tains a summary of the views of small businesses regarding training. These were gathered through surveys, focus groups and during a province -wide tour initiated by former Parliamentary Assistant Steven Mahoney, MPP Mississauga West. "The preliminary fin- dings show that small businesses that have in- vested in training have en- joyed significant benefits such as lower staff tur- nover and better staff - management relations," Kwinter said. "This comprehensive report is a valuable tool for decision makers in both the public and private sectors. It will also be helpful to schools and universities, bringing current informa- tion and relevant business issues into the educational system," Kwinter said. "The State of Small Business" is distributed to business groups, trade associations, financial in- stitutions and other organizations for which small businesses represent a client group. Copies of the report will be available at the Ontario Government Bookstore, at 880 Bay St., in Toronto.

The Hong Kang Tourist Association's new marketing theme is therefore, "Stay an extra day in Hong Kong" and we strongly urge you to add at least an extra day to your clients' Hong Kong itineraries - they will be disappointed if you do not. There have been a number of exciting developments in the tourism product which offer visitors even more to see and do. With so many new attrac- tions and activities con- stantly being introduced, your clients will be over- whelmed by choice' Cultural Centre Opens Their Royal Highnesses, the Prince and Princess of Wales, officially opened the Hong Kong Cultural Centre during their visit to the ter- ritory at the end of 1989. The dramatic new complex of theatres, concert and recital halls, and restaurants is located on the Kowloon waterfront, very close to major hotels, the Star Ferry and the Mass Transit Railway. The Cultural Centre pro- vides an important new venue for concerts, opera, ballet and drama of inter- national standing. Among major events scheduled for the Centre in 1990 is the Asian Arts Festival, which will bring together Asian and Western performers from all over the continent to Hong Kong in Oc- tober.November. For more information about forthcoming events at the Cultural Centre, please contact the Cultural Presentations Office , Level 5, Administration Building, Hong Kong Cultural Centre, 10 Salisbury Rd., Tsim Sha Tsui. Tel: 7349011. New HKTA Toms Joining a tour is a conve- nient way to see a side of Hong Kong that might otherwise be missed. Two new tours have been in- troduced by the HKTA so that visitors may enjoy the rich diversity of the ter- ritory. Four glimpses of Chinese dynastic social life are the theme of the Heritage Tour, which is comprised of historical monuments in the New Territories. After visiting a 2,000 -year-old brick burial chamber and funerary objects at Lei Cheng Uk, the tour moves on to Sam tung Uk, a restored 18th -century wall- ed village. In contrast, Tai Fu Tai in the heart of Hong Kong's rural area is the lavish mansion of a 19th century official of high rank. The tour's final stop is at Man Shek Tong, the main ancestral hall of the Liu clan, one of the five biggest clans in the region. The Heritage Tour departs each Wednesday and Saturday morning. It lasts for approximately four hours and costs HK$250. The Cultural Diversions Tour presents the spec- tacular new Hong Kong Cultural Centre, on the waterfront in Kowloon. On Mondays and Thursdays, this evening tour takes visitors around the state-af- the-art theatres and con- cert halls of the Centre and offers a glimpse of its im- pressive facilities backstage for artists. Par- ticipants will then see a col- ourful Chinese cultural per- formance. An eight -course Chinese banquet in the Cen- tre's Cantonese restaurant rounds off the evening in style. The tour costs HK$290 for adults oand FUM40 for children (6-12 years).

POST Page it Sports Highlight Club Med 1's Activities When Club Med 1, Club Med's spectacular new sailing ship, arrived in the Caribbean in February, among its most appealing features was a sports pro- gram unmatched by cruise ships four times its size. While other cruise passengers have to take their chances in finding sports facilities and equip ment ashore, Club Med 1 guests have no worries because the ship sails from island to island fully equip- ped quipped with its own sailboats, scuba gear, windsurf boards and qualified in- structors. There's even a sport plat- form which lowers from the stern enabling passengers to waterski, snorkel, sail and windsurf directly from the ship, as scuba divers set of aboard their own launch to beautiful dive sites. In port there's also a golf option featuring some of the Caribbean's finest courses. Club Med 1 began seven- day cruises from Guadeloupe on Feb. loth. Ports included Antiqua, St. Maarten, Virgin Gorda, Puerto Rico, St. Thomas and St. Barts. The 187 metre ship carries 425 passengers and is powered by seven computer operated sails on five masts, making Club Med I the largest and most technologically advanced sailing ship in the world With state-of-the-art navigation and stabiliza- tion equipment plus lux- unols passenger facilities, she combines the excite- ment of a sailboat with the comfort and elegance of a cruise ship.

"A continuous green belt of wildlife habitat should be created along the entire waterfront, to include a combina- tion of existing natural areas, newer naturalized areas on public parkland, industrial and commercial lands, hedgerows along narrow bands where space is limited, and wildlife gardens in residential neighbourhoods." "There is a need for a green belt, created from an in- tegrated system of nodes and linkages. In order to help reach that goal, public authorities should set an example on their own lands, while private landowners, including in- dustrial and commercial users, should be encouraged to follow suit. Developing a green belt would involve redesign- ing existing landscapes, and where land uses are changing, would require developers to include elements of the natural landscape in areas to which the public has access. In that way, every new development would contribute to the crea- tion of the green belt. " The above quotes are derived from the Interim Report of the Royal Commission on the Future of the Toronto Water- front. In April 1989, 1 had the opportunity to meet with David Crombie. Commissioner of the Royal Commission of the Future d the Toronto Waterfront. During our meeting, we discussed the future of one of Ontario's vanishing resources, the remaining greenspaces along Lake Ontario. Mr. Crombie and I agreed that public access to waterfront greenspaces must be the paramount issue when it comes time to create a land use pian for the remaining waterfront areas. I brought to the attention of the Cornmissioner the en- vironmental concerns of the Ontario Riding waterfront. In particular, I asked Mr. Crombie to examine jurisdictional aspects of FYencliman's Bay, and the feasibility of the pro- posed municipal pian for a marina at the foot of Harwood Avenue. It was with great pleasure that I saw that the Com- mission has now also taken on a provincial mandate in addi- tion to its federal one. The recent additional mandate of the Royal Commission on the Future of the Toronto Waterfront includes the examination of eight municipal waterfronts of which Pickering. Ajax and Whitby are included. The Commission has annouaiced that it will be holding a public hearing commencing Apr. 17th for "A Green Strategy for the Greater Toronto Waterfront: Public Ac- cess To and Along the Waterfront and its River Valleys" The Commission will look at recornmendations toovercorro�e barriers to a linked greenspace system and all related issues will be considered. Any person who wishes to make a submission, must advise the Commission in writing by Fri- day. April 6th. For more information on submissions and hearings, please contact my office. Unfortunately, I was unable to attend the waterfront meeting in Ajax on Feb. 19th, due to federal budget com- mitments in Ottawa. However. I want to assure those who were in attendance that I support efforts to guarantee public access to the natural and open spaces along Lake On- tario. Such 'human spaces' will allow our children to enjoy the beauty of Lake Ontario. Without action, such a future looks bleak. Honour Local Students District 17 of the Ontario Secondary School Teachers' Federation (O SI'F) and The Durham Board of Education are jointly sponsoring the 5th Annual Student Recogni- tion Night, to be held at Harwood Secondary School on Thurs.
