Our Volunteers
by Bob Watson
In the past few weeks members of our society who come
under the title of "volunteers" have been receiving awards
and commendations from governments and they deserve
all the praise they are getting.
It is not obvious to the general public but many very im-
portant organizations function well because of volunteers.
And we have thousands of people in the category of
"volunteer". It is really encouraging in these hard times to
know that a lot of one's neighbours and friends are busy giv-
ing their spare time to good projects.
So let's all give a big "thank you" to these folks who give
their time and energy to projects that are really worth
while.
About Seaton
Dear Sir:
There has been so much confusion, ignorance and
misunderstanding about the province's proposed develop-
ment of the Seaton lands north of Pickering that I feel com-
pelled to speak out.
I represent SDC Development corp, the consortium of 12
major Ontario builders and developers who six months ago
proposed joining with the government in a plan to quickly
develop and build homes on the Seaton lands to ease the
housing crunch.
The province now has its own plan which includes the
establishment of a North Pickering Corporation, which
likely, though not necessarily, will work with private
builders in establishing this new community. What's
significant and exciting is that the government is doing
something about the Seaton lands.
At SDC we applaud the government's initiative. The
Seaton lands, long designated for housing. desperately need
to be developed. The government is acting to bring more
housing land onto the market, a move that will have a
tremendous impact on keeping housing prices down to
earth.
The government is also designating 35 percent of the
housing as "affordable". We have no major disagreement
with this. However, if the government's aim of a totally'in-
tegrated community with a full range of housing is to be
achieved, we wonder whether the percentage of affordable
housing should be the more traditional 25 percent.
We are particularly enthusiastic and supportive of the
government's avowed determination to ensure that the new
Seaton developemnt will be a totally integrated comnmu m-
ty. complete with a variety of housing. schools, parks, open
space. commercial and especially industrial development.
There seems to be some serious misconceptions about the
project in the minds of some segments of the public and the
news media.
Some people regard this as just another idea from
government that will never likely see the light of day. They
are wrong. Very wrong. There is no quesion in my mind
that Seaton will be a reality in a very short time.
There has even been the misguided suggestion that all of
the Seaton lands be reserved for directly subsidized hous-
ing.
This is a sure-fire way to court disaster.
First. the people of Pickering would revolt, and rightly
so. Second. we would create an instant ghetto. Third, the
heavv and endless costs of subsidization would be more
than if the houses were given away free to the residents.
We believe that the kind of fully integrated community
that is planned for the Seaton lands is sane and sensible and
what's more important, achievable.
Critics must criticize, I suppose. But let's not destroy
something worthwhile because of petty carping, the airing
of ignorance, and making demands that are completely im-
practical.
Let us also recognize the large size, scale and dimension
of this project and the tremendously beneficial impact it
can make on helping to ease the housing crunch in the
Toronto area.
Yours truly,
Henry Stolp
Chairman
SDC Development Corporation

Slower Economy
While the Canadian economy does not appear on the brink
of a recession. slow economic growth is expected to persist
through 1990 and the first half of 1991, says CT Investment
Council Inc., a subsidiary of Canada Trust. Persistently
high interest rates. an overvalued Canadian dollar. and
high taxes are providing an unfavourable short term Cana-
dian economic policy environment.
The GST is expected to reduce personal spending power
significantly in early 1991. Real Personal Disposable In-
come ( PDI ) is forecast to decline in 1991 for the first time
since 1962.
$228,000 Grant Trains Nurses
The Ministry of Health is providing $728,000 to the

tees. Health Minister Elinor Caplan said the funding was a
further example of her commitment to give nurses a
greater voice in the everyday operation of hosptals-

Supports Ontario Snowmobile Club
The Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs will be able
to increase the safety and popularity of snowmobiling in
Ontario thanks to a $75,000 grant from the Ministry of
Tourism and Recreation.
The grant will fund two projects: $61,500 to assist the
federation in implementing a province -wide safety signage
program. With standardized signs and trail markings on
Ontario's 21,000 kilometres of snowmobile trails, the sport
will be safer and more enjoyable for snowmobile en-
thusiasts.
The remaining funds, $12.500 will allow the Ontario
Federation of Snowmobile Clubs to complete an organiza-
tional and management plan. A consultant, to be hired by
the Federation, will survey the needs of the 280 member
chubs to plan future safety and marketing programs.

portunities in the community.
Keep Those Coats Coming
United Way of Greater Toronto and Sketchley Cleaners
have extended the deadline for the Koats for Kids program
until the end of May, to compensate for an unusually long
winter. The general public is requested to participate in the

tion. Outgrown children's coats can be dropped off at any
Sketchley's location for cleaning and repair. The coats will

Kodak Canada, until the fall.
United Way will then distribute the coats to children in
need at over 250 member agencies m Toronto as well as
other social service agencies.

ON STAGE:
Love & Anger after a six
months run at the Factory
Theatre has moved to the
plusher surroundings of the
$lama Appel Theatre in
the St. Lawrence Centre.
Your correspondent was
unable to see it at The Fac-
tory but was there for the
re -opening eagerly an-
ticipating something that
can safely be said to have
captured (enraptured?)
Toronto audiences.
Perhaps we were too
eager; perhaps we an-
ticipated too much;
perhaps after three
luistruae of reviewing, we
are in danger of losing our
theatrical innocence.
Whatever, we can't unders-
tand all the excitement
over Love & Anger.
The title, in fact, could
hardly have been more ap-
propriate for us; we loved
the performers but were
angry at the performances
and the play itself. It is un-
worthy of the talents of
George Walker both as
playwright and director.
Love & Anger is bastar-
dized Beckett and manic
Brecht with a soupcon of
Krazy Kafka thrown in for
not so good extra measure.
Lawyer Petie Maxwell
after a near miss with
death is experiencing ec-
centric epiphany and has
embarked on a half baked,
quixotic scheme to make a
better world. Ho hum. With
him are an exasperated
lady colleague, a client try-
ing to get her husband out
of jail on a break -eater
conviction and an earth
mother who is nuttier than
a fruit cake. ( Not an
original turn of phrase
granted, but about as
original as anything else in
the play.)
Against him are the
publisher of a trashy
tabloid and his lawyer, a
political office seeker and
former associate of Petie.
All the action takes place
in Petie's basement

One supposes L. & A. is a
"tragic comedy". One of
the words is correct.
Viewers must decide which

Peter Blais is Petie Max-

plays the role so well, not-
withstanding the direction -

that he makes Petie well
nigh insufferable in his
craned crusade. The voice
is high pitched, almost
whiny; the walk and
gestures are those of a rup-
tured duck; the delivery is
that of an undercooled
Gatling. In sum, Mr. Blais
is perfect in his delineation.
Clare Coulter is properly
bullish as his earth bound
associate and it's not her
fault that the character is
too strong too soon.
Benedict Campbell is all
bluster as the newspaper
publisher and Hardie
Lineham, looking like a
more or less distinguished
older Gordie Howe, is
essence of weasel.
Michelyn Emelle does
well as a puzzled but
trusting client. It is not a
role that calls for great in-
terpretation but improper-

it properly.

"Forty Carats" At Village Theatre
Can a forty year old
woman find happiness with
a 22 year old man - in spite
of herself?
That's the question posed
as the Scarborough
Players conclude their 30th
anniversary season with
"Forty Carats" by Jay
Allen.
This romantic comedy
will be performed at the
Scarborough Village
Theatre, 3800 Kingston Rd.,
on May 24, 25, 26, 31 and
June 1, 2, 7, 8, 9.
Anne Stanley, played by
Dinah Watts, must chose
between a stable, ordered
life and her passion for
Peter Latham, played by
Joseph Van Veen. Adding
to the complications are
Jackie Del Greco as her
mother, her daughter,
Amanda Sinclair, and her
ex-husband, Gary
Fruchtman. Rounding out
the cast are Brenda Delair,
Bob Wilson, Jim Dwyer,
Bruce Maloney and Nancy
Poch.
This is director Tom Bar-
to's first production with
the Scarborough Players,
although he has over 30
years of theatrical ex-
perience both as a director
and a teacher. He is very
pleased with the progress
of his cast.
"Everyone is enjoying
themselves. They are get-
ting the most they can from
the comedy aspect of the
play. This should be a very
good show."
Tickets cost $6. with a
special Thursday rate of $7.

playing with the reserve team -and I might get up for a cou-
ple of league games". Mare has been playing soccer for 11
years and has some pretty impressive credentials.
He won the Scarborough Cup Championship in 1984 when
he played with St. Andrews Soccer Club under -10 team. He
then moved to the Wexford Club in 1986 and that year the
team won the Robbie Championship for under -12, and went
on to win the Scarborough Championship and were Ontario
Cup finalists.
In 1987 the Wexford under -13 team won the Scarborough
Cup, a feat they repeated in 1988. In 1989 Marc played for
the Ontario under -15 and won the Canadian Provincial
Championship. In 1989 he was on the under -15 Ontario team
which earned a bronze medal in Peru. The same team also
won the national provincial team championship.

This year Marc is on the Canadian under -16 squad which
is training to represent Canada in next year's Youth World

forward
soccer in Europe, but for now he is eagerly looking
to playing with the Blizzard.

Scarborough Council Notes
by Randi Druzin
Mayor On Committee
Mayor Joyce Trimmer is
Scarborough's represen-
tative on the Rouge Valley
Park Advisory Committee.
As part of the committee.
Trimmer will help with
preparations for the con-
struction of a major urban
park in the Rouge River
Valley. Trimmer was ap-
pointed to the Advisory
Committee at the request
of the Lyn McLeod, Provin-
cial Minister of Natural
Resources.
Councillor Edith Mon-
tgomery of Ward 4 will at-
tend committee meetings
at which the mayor is ab-
sent.
Oppose CPR Dangerous
Scarborough Council
strongly opposes the
storage of dangerous goods
at C.P. Agincourt Mar-
shalling Yards. Council
made this announcement
at its meeting on Apr. 23rd,
in response to recent at-
tempts by C.P. Rail to seek
permission from Transport
Canada to store dangerous
goods at that location.
Council believes that
C.P. Agincourt Marshall-
ing Yard is not an ap.
propriate site for the
storage of dangerous goods
because of the yard's close
proximity to densely
populated residential
developments.

Executive Summary
Transportation Revenues
.and Expenditures in the
GTA
Writing in reply to a re-
quest from the board Presi-
dent Gordon Riehl that
figures he provided on
transportation revenues
and expenditures in the
Greater Toronto Area
(GTA), Deputy Treasurer
Brian Davies states, "It is
the position of the Province
that in the provision of
public infrastructure,
where feasible. those who
benefit make a greater con-
tribution to the cost of that
infrastructure
Added Gardner Church,
Deputy Minister for the
GTA in a separate letter
"GTA specific revenues
(Commercial Concentra-
tion Tax, higher motor
vehicle registration fees)
are not due to a deficiency
in the past but are due
more to the recent rapid
economic growth which
has increased congestion
on the GTA's transporta-
tion system".
Ontario Pre -budget Brief
The Clerk of the Ontario
Standing Committee on the
Finance and Economic Af-
fairs has advised the board
that its hearings have been
completed and a written
report from the Committee
is now in the process of be-
ing finalized.
The board will receive a
copy of this report for
detailed review, with a
view to responding to it
( "Pre -budget Submission
to Treasurer of Ontario and
Ontario Standing Commit-
tee on Finance and
Economic Affairs,"
February 1990) .

Tire Incineration
At the board's Feb. 27,
1990, pre -budget meeting
with Bob Nixon, the
Treasurer sought the
board's views on the
possibility of incinerating
tires as fuel andior for
power generation pur-
poses-
The board believes that
recycling is far preferable
to the destruction or
disposal of wastes and that
long-term storage is unac-
ceptable. In the case of
tires only about five to ten
percent of the numbers
discarded each year in On-
tario are recycled.
chief executive officers
whose companies' suc-
cesses prove they have the
answers to these questions
will present their views and
respond to probing from
five prominent research
panelists - three from the
media, a university
business professor and a
management consultant.
The National Business
Show will be the first in-
tegrated business products
and services exposition
ever held in Canada. It will
have more than 570 ex-
hibits from leading local,
national and international
companies, offering the
more than 2D,000 visitors a
unique opportunity to ac-
cess business solutions and
exposure to assistance in
dealing with the business
challenges of the 1990's.
Exhibits will include
telecommunications equip-
ment and services, com-
puters and peripherals; of-
fice planning, business
machines, advertising and
promotional services,
financial and professional
services, office supplies;
education, training, and
personnel services;
employment incentives,
security systems and ser-
vices, and investment
counselling. In effect, there
will be five shows in one.

with Rene Soetens, M.P.
Canada stretches more than 7,000 kms from east to west
and much of this land was completely inaccessible to early
explorers. It is due to this great expanse that transportation
touches virtually every area of the economy and every
Canadian. As a result of this importance, Prime Minister
Brian Mulroney established the Royal Commission on Na-
tional Passenger Transportation in October 1989, to study
the national passenger transportation system in Canada.
This study will provide the first comprehensive look, in thir-
ty years, at one of the most important sectors of the Cana-
dian economy.
The mandate of the Commission is to inquire into and
report upon a national integrated inter -city passenger
transportation system to meet the needs of Canada in the
21st century. In addition, the Commission will ensure that
transportation links among Canada's regions and com-
munities are maintained and improved. The Commission
has begun its consultations with.various levels of govern-
ment and organizations involved in the transportation
system. However, while these talks are indeed invaluable,
it is ultimately the people of Canada that are the key to
understanding the required changes necessary as Canada
heads into the 21st century.
Beginning in late August and running through until
December, the Commission will hold public hearings coast
to coast. The public hearing process will give the Royal
Commission the opportunity to consult with Canadians and
apply their views to a comprehensive transportation
strategy.
The Commission is currently set to appear in Toronto on
November 1314th. If you would like to appear before the
Commission or if you are interested in obtaining an infor-
mation kit, you may contact the Commission's information
line at l4W267-4389. Recipients d the information kit will
be added to the Commission's mailing list and will
automatically receive additional public information
material distributed by the Commission.

Comments on the discus-
sion paper on the proposed
future role for the DHC are
being compiled and will be
taken into consideration in
the development of the
paper on "Future Direc-
tions". As there are many
implications for an enhanc-
ed role, Council felt strong-
ly that there should be con-
siderable
oo-siderable community con-
sultation regarding the
enhanced role.
