.press their confidence for
the incumbent Provincial
Parliament Member,
Norah Stoner, during the
Liberal Nomination
Meeting of the Durham
West constituency.
Stoner was unchallenged
for the position, and the
meeting was a formality
whereby people could ex-
press any concerns that
they might have had.
In her nomination
speech, Norah Stoner
spoke about political
leadership, particularly
Liberal leadership, and the
need for government to
take the initiative and set
the agenda. -Leaders must
have vision and shape
public opinion rather than
merely respond to it."
She highlighted the
government's record of
achievement. Amongst the
many examples of govern-
ment initiatives listed by
Stoner, the following
demonstrate a few: the se-
cond consecutive balanced
budget; the removal of the
$2.6 billion deficit left by
the Conservative Govern-
ment in 1985; the fastest
rate of industrial growth of
anywhere in the world out-
pacing even Japan, bet-
ween 1985 and 1989; the
abolishment of OHIP
premiums, as promised;
reformed auto insurance;
the exchange of welfare
cheques for paycheques;
and the improvement of
education at every level of
formal schooling, including
an emphasis on the impor-
tant early school years.
Initiatives impacting
directly on the Durham
West riding were also
highlighted, including: the
creation of the 10,500 acre
Rouge River Valley Pro-
vincial Park; the building
of ten new schools in the
area, and the capital fun-
ding in excess of $40 million
for education projects in
the 1990 year alone; expan-
sion of the Gobain system
through Ajax and Whitby
and through to Oshawa
later this year; the widen-
ing of Highway 401 from
Neilson Rd. to Brock Rd.;
the construction of a con-
nection between Taunton
Rd. and Steeles Ave.; the
commitment of $14.8
million to the expansion of
the Ajax -Pickering
Hospital; and the provision
of $4 million to the Ajax
Public Transit Building.
Norah concluded her
speech by complimenting
Liberals on their strong
commitment to
Liberalism.

About Meech Lake
Letter To The Editor
Dear Editor:
'Why Should I Compromise On Meech' - Robert Bourassa
Mr. Bourassa has acted as a spoiled brat, one used to get-
ting his own way every time he asks for something. This
time he asked for a "doubleheader ice cream cone" but his
mentor built it up into a "banana split" for him and now he
is holding on to it (Meech Lake Discord) like a drowning
man who has just been handed a rope.
Bourassa and his province are grabbing for power and
sees the Meech Lake "Accord" as his chance to control the
other provinces, if the premiers of those provinces are
stupid enough to support the accord for him. All brats of
this ilk never consider how their requests will effect the
well-being of others. but only dwell on what it will do for
them.
Quebec's five original demands were -
1. Recognition of Quebec as a Distinct Society.
2. a provincial role in the appointments to the Supreme
Court:
3. a greater provincial role in immigration:
4. limits on federal power in federal -provincial shared -cost
programs:
5. a veto for Quebec on constitutional amendments.
At first glance these may seem to be innocuous. However,
when you read the considerably augmented working that
appears in the Meech Lake "Accord", that was put together
by Mulroney and his mimons and then sneaked into the
meeting at Meech Lake, which only had premiers present,
not any of their supporting staff which were kept outside,
they were then glibly lied to by Mulroney that they had to
sign the Accord in order to bring Quebec into the Constitu-
tion. (despite the fact that our Supreme Court said that they
were never out of the Constitution I . I would suggest that all
Canadians read the article in the June issue of Saturday
Night. page 38, which gives a complete coverage of devious
manipulation by Prime Minister Mulroney at the Meech
Lake meeting and also at the later meeting in the Langevin
block in Ottawa where this faulty document was battled
over into the small haus of the morning until the last
dissidents didn't have the guts to continue their position in
case they would be blamed for its downfall.
The first item requested that Quebec be recognized as a
"Distinct Society and which Bourassa has strongly oppos-
ed the delineation of its meaning. However, after he used
the notwithstanding clause in the Constitution to override
the Supreme Court's decision of the illegality of the English
sign law, he then passed Bill 178 in the Quebec Assembly, to
put it into law in Quebec. Bourassa gratuitously said, if the
Meech Lake Accord had been in effect at the time, he would
have used it to override the Supreme Court's decision and
not used the notwithstanding clause. He has now delineated
what power he thinks the "Distinct Society" clause would
give him, the power to overturn decisions of the Supreme
Court and other laws at will. Wand you give anyone this
power, especially when it could be used to override our
"Equality Rights" Section 15 in the Constitution' The not-
withstanding clause can - It Has Got To Go.
Second item - provincial input to appointments to the
Supreme Court. Quebec demands at least three of the nine
appointments come from Quebec. It this democracy'
Prime Minister Brian Mulronev and his cohort Premier
Robert Bourassa of Quebec are out to make our Canadian
government the laughing -stock of the other countries in the
world by so diluting the power of the Canadian government
in transferring over to the provinces powers that rightly
belong to the federal government and which are contained
in the British North America Act, the part that was brought
back from Britain, not the part that was taken over to be in-
cluded in the constitution, and which is what they show you
under the heading Part 1, Schedule B. The Prime Minister
doesn't want you to know the contents of Schedule A
because it tells you things they don't want you to know.
There isn't one item in the Meech Lake accord that isn't
flawed. It should be scrapped in its entirety. This country
started out to be a democracy but Mr. Mulroney just cannot
handle it. He is trying to make it an Oligarchy, consisting of
10 premiers and himself, he wants them to meet in closed
quarters, in that way there are fewer people to lie to and
some of our premiers aren't too smart to catch him.
Only the citizens of Canada should have the right to make
changes in our constitution and then only after a detailed
explanation is given and time has elapsed to allow for
checking. Then we can become a democracy again.
Every Canadian citizen should have a copy of - "The
Meech Lake Accord, what it will mean to you and Canada".

Ontario Hvdro Contract Offer Accepted By OHEU
On April Z., members of the Ontario Hydro Employees
Union voted 85.8 percent in favour of accepting Ontario
Hydro's two year contract offer. About 66 percent of the
18,000 LUPE 1000 members voted over a four week period
on the March 30 contract offer. The contract includes corri-
pounded wage increases of 6.9 percent in the first year and
6.7 percent in the second year. The contract also provides
improved pension benefits and a reduction in work hours to
39.5 hours per week from 40 hours in 1991. Health and dental
benefits, maternity leave, moving costs, long-term disabili-
ty. and safety are other improvements included in the con-
tract.
Fibre Optics
Ontario Hydro's Board of Directors has approved the con-
cept of using fibre -optics for Hydro's future telecom-
munications needs. The fibre -optics would be installed
gradually on existing and future transmission lines, replac-

pects to have the first fibre -optics network installed in the
greater Toronto area in 1991. Approval has been given
already to install fibre -optics on transmission lines running
from Nanticoke generating station to Longwood
transformer station, near London.

New method
in GST madness
By Terry O'Shoughnessv
The federal government
pulled out all the stops recently
on its travelling Goods and
Services Ux show when Rev-
enue Minister Otto Jelinek
announced a new streamlined
GST accounting measure for
small businesses. Elaborate
press conferences were held first
in Ottawa and then later in the
day in Toronto following, as
Jelinek called it, "extensive
consultation" with the small
business community regarding
their difficulties with the GST.
But when representatives from
the Canadian Federation of
Independent Business were
barred from entering the press
conference in Toronto, it was
clear that Jelinek's idea of small
business consultation doesn't
include the largest small
business organization in the
country.
According to CF1B Presi-
dent John Bulloch, it's obvious
that the federal government is
fully aware that their proposed
GST is a mess.
"Jciitick's announcement of
the new accounting procedure
for small business is an em-
barrassing admission by the
government that the GST is not
simple,.' says Bulloch. "Despite
its propaganda to the contrary,
it's dear the government real-
izes that the GST is a bureau-
cratic nightmare for Revenue
Canada as well as small firms
and consumers."
Calling the proposal the
"quick method", Jelinck pro-
posed that small firms calculate
their GST liability through a
tax calculation on sales rather
than a tax calculation on sales
minus purchases as originally
intended. While Jelinek touted
the quick method as a great help
for small business owners as a
whole, Bulloch called it a partial
victory only.
"It is very difficult to have
one rate for manufacturers and
service businesses," he said,
"and a different rate for retailers
and wholesalers without being
overly generous to some busi-
nesses and terribly unfair to
others. Further, some firms
operating above the maximum
annual sales threshold might
actually decide to reduce the
size of their operations in order
to enjoy the same benefits of
their smaller competitors."
As for the simplicity of the
quick method, the problems
created by a two-tiered fed-
eral/provincial sales tax system
still remain for both consumers
and small retailers alike—even
though Jelinek has erroneously
said that all potential problems
created by the GST at the cash
register will be solved by the new
streamlined procedure.
It's a mystery, or perhaps
just cynical politics, that the
federal government is proceed-
ing with the GST when just
about all it has done since the
controversial tax was introduced
is make changes to the original
"simple" and "fair" proposal.
To turn the old adage around:
'if it ain't broke, you shouldn't
have to fix It.'

Exchanging Students with U.S.S.R.
For the first time in Canada, to young people from the
Soviet Union will experience living with a Canadian family
for the next academic year while 10 Canadian students will
leave to discover life in the Soviet Union. This exchange
program is made possible by Interculture Canada, a non-
profit organization, whose aim is the promotion of interna-
tional understanding through intercultural exchange. For
twelve years, hundreds of students and Canadian families
have been able to take advantage of the enriching and un-
forgettable experience Interrulture Canada provides.
In addition to the young Soviets who will be visiting this
year, 250 other students, between the ages of 15 and 18, com-
ing from 29 different countries across the globe, want to live
and study for one year in Canada beginning this August. A
good number have already found families to host them, but
there are still some young people in need of families. Since
there are only two months left before the students arrive,
we haven't much time to find these remaining host
families.

mentees good benefits,
no stAng
The average personal injury suit arising from
a car accident often takes several years to wind
its way through the court system before settlement.
That whole time, the injured person has to put
a life back together using personal or family
resources - and still might lose in court.
A new, comprehensive auto insurance
system is being introduced. It's called the
Ontario Motorist Protection Plan. Under the OMPP,
income replacement cheques begin arriving
within 10 days after the claim is filed. Within
30 days, money to cover medical bills and
therapy will be sent. No matter who caused
the accident.
The principle is: the sooner resources are
available to help an accident victim, the either
treatment and rehabilitation can begin. Studies
show early rehabilitation is more humane and
beneficial to the injured person.
The Ontario Insurance Commission is there
to ensure that injured people are treated fairly,
including providing services for solving disputes.
DO YOU KEEP THE RIGHT TO SUE?
Yes. While guaranteed accident benefits are there
for everyone, if an accident results in death or
serious permanent injury, you may still sue.
THE OMPP PL IN THE BRAKES
ON INSURANCE RATES.
One of the major causes of the rising number
of accidents, injuries and lawsuits in Ontario is
the growing volume of traffic on the roads. But
a closer look at the 51.8 billion paid out for
bodily injury claims in 1988 shows that
hundreds of millions of dollars never reached
the victims. They went to pay the costs of the
adversarial legal system.
Under the OMPP, that money is now
used more effectively. It helps accident victims,
without an expensive legal battle to assess
"fault"
The new Plan will hold premium increases
this year to only 8 % on average in urban
areas, while average rates in rural areas will not
increase at all. Without a new system, you
would have seen a premium increase in the
30-35 °o range.
rI
DOES FAULT STILL COUNT?
Fault will continue to be used for rating purposes
as well as determining liability for damage
to vehicles. Bad drivers will pa`- higher premiums.
Those convicted of drunk driving or other
Criminal Code offences will not receive income
replacement benefits.
The new Plan is more than insurance
reform. Additional OPP will patrol the highways.
Fines for traffic violations such as speeding have
been more than doubled. Greater highway safety
is a good way to control costs and reduce injuries.
More than ever. it makes no sense to take
a chance while driving.
The Ontario Motorist Protection Plan makes
a fundamental distinction between good drivers
and bad drivers. It treats those involved in
accidents with compassion. guaranteeing benefits
and paying them quickly, regardless of fault.
It steers car insurance in the right direction.
lour insurance company and your broker or
agent have all the details. And you will receive
an information brochure with your premium notice.

tierce and commitment On Sat. June 9th mr, grandparents
celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. Here is a
tribute to them.
Sophie Lovacris and John Paparnarkos were brought
together by matchmakers in the small village of Kramona,
Greece in February 1940. Their engagement lasted four
months - without an engagement ring. On June 9th, they
were married in the village church and spent their honey-
moon tending to the fields belonging to John's parents.
They survived long separations during a time of civil and
world wars. In order to escape village strife and provide for
his family, which now included two children, John
emigrated to Canada to find wort. He sent motley back to
his family. In 1952, he had saved enough to provide boat
passage for his wife and two children.
Upon arrival in Canada, the Papamarkos family lived
with Sophie's father until they could afford to start a small
restaurant business of their own. Together they worked the
family business, paid their debts, educated and married
their children, helped raise their five grandchildren,
retired, and are awaiting the arrival of their first great-
grandchild later this year.
They laugh when they retell all the old stories of their life
together, but it took more than laughter to remain together
through the years of uncertainty and stress. They [Hake our
lifestyles seem so simple and carefree by comparison.
When I hear people talk of divorce due to irreconcilable
differences, I just look back at what my grandparents sur-
vived in their lifetime and I find it difficult to take these
people seriously.
Congratulations Sophie and John on your 50 years of
togetherness! Happy 50th Anniversary from your family.

ty at 5760 Yonge St. is in
need of extensive renova-
tions. "The office was built
in 1962 and needs a major
overhaul. Considering the
costs involved and the cur-
rent value of this property,
it's much more cost-
effective to build a new of-
fice on land we already own
in Markham, rather than to
renovate and add on to our
existing office," he said.
The new Regional Office
in Markham will incor-
porate energy manage-
ment features such as ther-
mal storage for cooling,
high efficiency flourescent
lighting, special coating on
exterior glass to reduce
heat buildup and an energy
reclaiming system in food

accessible to people with

that the new office will also

Save The Rouge Valley
System ( SRVS ) will be
having its monthly nature
walk on Sun. June 24th at
1:30 p.m. in the Little
Rouge Marsh. The focus of
this walk will be reptiles
and amphibians.
The area of the Little
Rouge Marsh is part of the
Rouge Valley Nature
Heritage Park, a unique
Carolinian forest system,
and is also a Class 2
wetland.
The area is particularily
scenic and is home to a
diverse species of birds,
waterfowl, and wildlife.
There are some 20
species of amphibians and
reptiles in this area, and
they are not easy to spot
because of their retiring
nature. Because of this,
SRVS is asking that dogs
not be brought on the walk,
as it will cut down the
number of sightings.
The walk will be led by
Andy Makowski, a member
of the Ontario
Herpetological Society,
and of the Federation of
Ontario Naturalists.
Due to a shortage of
parking beside the Rouge,
the meeting point will be at
the West Rouge Plaza, at
the corner of Island Rd.
and Friendship Ave. For
more details call SRVS at

Bill Watt's Worlds
ON STAGE:
Buddy Holly was
arguably the seminal in-
fluence in the cross over of
so-called Black music to
"the other side". Cynical-
ly, however, one cannot
resist opining that he is
remembered and has
become almost a musical
icon because he died young
(age 21), tragically (in a
plane crash that need not
have happened) and 40
years ago (1959) .
It is undeniable, though,
that in his short life time he
wrote and performed hap-
py music in a way that left
audiences happy, not
restless. The excrescence
that is Heavy Metal cannot
be attributed to Buddy Hol-
ly.
That said, let us address
Buddy, the Buddy Holly
Story which has just arriv-
ed at the Roval Alexandra
after a triumphant London
run and prior to an engage-
ment on Broadway.
The story line is at best
thin but well known
anyway. It is there simply
to tell of his earlier and
simpler musical beginn-
ings through to his final big
concerts. There is a tenden-
cy to forget that although
Buddv Holly is
remembered through his
recordings, he was a per-
former who recorded, not a
recordist who performed.
The Buddy Holly Story
sets the record (no pun)
straight and does so by
presenting his songs as
sung by Buddy Holly and
The Crickets in an almost
breathtaking re-creation.
The finale of the show is a
re -presentation of his final
concert featuring himself,
the Big Bopper and Richie
Valens in Clear Lake,
Iowa. It is a real rouser
that gets many of the au-
dience on their feet and -no
foolin'-dancing in the aisles
or at least doing what
passes for dancing
nowadays.
The music alone could
carry Buddy but a valuable
extra is Paul Hipp in the ti-
tle role. The magic of
makeup can transform
almost anyone into the look
of the person to be por-
trayed but it cannot help
the performer in any other
way: he or she must get in-
side the character and per-
sonality. Mr. Hipp does so
with a vengeance!
He talks like Buddy Hol-
ly. he walks like Buddy
Holly. he plays like Buddy
Holly in a tour de force
display of musical talent
and energy that one
suspects is better than the
original.
That's speculation, of
carie. but we cannot see
how Buddy Holly could
have been better than Paul
Hipp. High praise? Of
course it is and so intended.
The rest of the largish
cast is also multi -talented
musically. It seems that
evervone doubles. trebles
and even more in roles and
on musical instruments.
All sing and dance with
equal vigour and elan.
Singling out of each in-
dividual is auite impossible

and possibly unfair as well
but mention should be
made of David Mucci and
Philip Anthony. The
former is the Big Bopper
and does it well; the latter
is Richie Valens and his La
Bamba would be a show
stopper if the show were
not so tightly paced.
The sets are lavish and
therein lies our only com-
plaint of the show. A two
tiered set achieves max-
imum effect only when it
can be seen by all. The top
of the set cannot be seen if
one is sitting more than
half way back in the first
balcony; the overhang of
the second balcony blocks
one's view.
While we're at it we
should say that a jacket is
necessary because of the
frigid air temperatures of
the air conditioning.
One of the may things
that surprised us was the
ages of many audience
members. We had thought
that Buddy might have
been a show for older folks.
Not so: the young have
quite taken the music of
Buddy Holly to their hearts
and even transferred it to
their hearts. What joy to
see young people dancing
as opposed to the sullen.
rebellious types one sees
leaving present day Rock
concerts.
Buddy brings back a
time when the music was
perhaps a tad wilder than
one was used to but was
happy: no rebellion, just an
explosion of high sprits.
Well, put our editorializ-
ing aside: forget it even.
Just enjoy one of the best
and most ebullient new
musicals to come down the
pike ( the Pompton Turn-
pike maybe?) in many a
blue moon.

Limelight Dinner Theatre.
We were there on its open-
ing night more than ten
years ago and have en-
joyed every production
since; some more than
others naturally, but all
recalled with pleasure.
Each production then,
presents the problem of
how best to describe it
without boring the reader
with more or less expected
praise. Our companion on
the recent opening night of
Me and My Girl solved it
for this time by saying that
everyone is happy after a
Limelight production. She
is right; one sees happy
patrons after each show
and always humming or
singing songs from it.
That was particularly so
after the final curtain for
Me and My Girl. It is a
bright cheery musical writ-
ten in 1938 about a cockney
lad inheriting an earldom
and becoming a more or
less polished gentleman
while still retaining love
and affection for his girl
Sally.
It clearly borrows from
Pygmalion and might have
been the inspiration for the
classic Robert Mon-
tgomery motion picture
The Earl of Chicago.
All that is unimportant.
though. What matters is
that Me and My Girl is fill-
ed with happy music well
sung and danced by a cast
having a good time. The
"big" number is the
Lambeth Walk as expected
but a few of the others that
are reasonably well known
are the title tune and The
Suet Has Got His Hat On.
Popular music lovers
will find the main theme of
the last named to be vague-
ly familiar to another set-
ting. That's because it was
borrowed rather heavily
for a tune titled The Santa
Claus Express and first
sung by a young musician
with the Freddy Martin or-
chestra named Mery Gnf-
fin.
Ted Simonett fresh from
his triumph as the Tin
Woodman in the recent
local production of The
Wizard of Oz is Bill Snib-
son, the young cockney
brought into a new life but
retaining his love for the
old and fortifying himself
with a cheerful insou-
ciance.
He looks like a young
Elliot Gould and dances
like a Hal LeRoy or even
Jack Acker . . almost
classic tap. He sings well
too and even manages to
imbue tenderness into
Leann' on a Lamp Post.
Jolly good show Mr.
Simonett .. "squire".
Patty Jamieson is Bill's
girl Sally Smith and she too
sings and dances well.
Dancing is a major
strength in this production.
Other excellent dancers in-
clude Marcia Tratt as a
lady to the manor born but
not above trying to seduce
Bill, Scott Hurst as a roly
poly silly ass who can
dance with the best of them
and Donnie Bowes as a
stuffy solicitor who can and
does break out in manic
dance not unlike Ray
Bolger.
Jack Northmore does
well as a true gentleman
and even in ensemble his
fine singing voice stands
out. Why not? Some will
remember when he was
one of the Four Romeos on
the Juliette Show.

Since 1969 the Blackhorn Dining Room, formerly known as the Blackhorn Steak House,
has served of the best, if not "the best" steaks in and around the Toronto area. This
restaurant has built its reputation on excellent service, cosiness, charm and, of course,
great food.
"There are far and few in between restaurants who actually grill their steaks on natural
hardwood charcoal, not to mention seafood and white meats," says Ken Reuter, son of the
original owners, Eric and Erika Reuter.
Just recently Ken has teamed with Chef Roger Contreras, who studied as Chef at the Far
Eastern University and Manilla College, and whose gourmet cooking has tantalized many
taste buds in some of downtown Toronto's rmest restaurants.
"We offer flair. Our menu is more continental, and we offer pastas, fresh fish and specials
with exotic culture," says Roger, while Ken points out "people are looking for something
more, they want dining to be an experience, and a comfortable one at that".
He adds "steaks are our tradition, and with our new flair, people don't have to drive
downtown...
The new menus include a most prestigious wine list which also offers premium and vui-
tages by the glass. This has proved to be a great success. To round off delicious desserts are
prepared on the premises.

The new joint effort bet-

enriches the already -
successful "Trees for

launched in 1973 to
replenish former logging

Instead of planting only
tree seedlings, scout

"troops" plant wildlife
shrubs and additional tree
species vital to wildlife
habitat, said Kevin Callan,
OFAH Wildlife Habitat

"By using a rich diversi-
ty of plants, a living forest
is created." said Callan.
"As time goes by, more

Are You & Your Bike Little Rusty?
by Sarah B. Hood
Are you and your bike a
little rusty'' Maybe you're
not sure you remember the
basic rules of riding on the
road - or perhaps you never
felt confident you had a
good grasp of them to begin
with.
Many people don't
realize that the Highway
Traffic Act applies to bikes
as well as to cats. It makes
sense to follow the rules.
since they exist for your
own protection. They're
your tools for survival
when you're sharing the
road with cats.
Sonne of the important
rules aren't required ones -
they just nuke sense.
Wearing a helmet for in-
stance. Here are a few
basic rules (son-* of them
mandatory and some of
them not) that will really
cut down on your chances
of "running into" trouble -
They should also make you
feel much more confident
about what you're doing
out there between the
bumpers.
The Well -Equipped Cyclist
As we just mentioned,
one of the most important
safety tips is not required
by the HTA: wear a
helmet. They cost between
$50 and $100 and they're
well worth wearing - just
ask anyone who's ever had
the occasion to need one.
Working down from the
top, It also makes sense to
wear bright or reflective
clothing to make sure you
can be seen by other users
of the road. For the same
reason, if you're riding at
night your bike must have
a white light on the front
and a red light (or reflec-
tor) on the back. If you've
ever been in a tsar overtak-
ing an unlit cyclist at night
you know how sensible it is
to shed some light on the
situation. A bell or horn is
also required equipment. A
good "sound system" can

make all the difference in
your relationship with
pedestrians.
Another crucial piece of
safety gear comes with the
bike but it's up to you to
keep it in top shape: the
brake system. By law, your
brakes must be grabby
enough to let you skid your
rear wheel on dry, level
ground. Try it out in a
deserted parking lot.
Go With The Flew
It should go without say-
ing - but unfortunately it
doesn't yet - that bikes
should never, never travel
the wrong way down one-
way streets. Also, they're
requited to stop at red
lights and yes, even stop
signs, just like cars.
You may also yield to
traffic when you're chang-
ing lanes, leaving a
driveway, moving onto a
major street from a minor
one or if you arrive second
at a tour -way stop. This
just makes cOmmOn sense:
bikes don't do very well In
the head on challenge with
the taxi asserting its right
of way.
Life lin the Fast Lane
When you are moving
slower than the cars you
are required to ride in the
right hand lane, or as close
as practicable to the right
except when you are about
to turn left or pass another
vehicle. This means you
should pick a space to the
right that's still far enough
out - at least one metre in
most cases - to avoid sewer
grates, potholes, car doors
and other curb -related
hazards.
You may occupy any
part of a lane when your
safety warrants it - to ride
around bad road surface
for example. But you
should check over your
shoulder and signal before
making any significant
moves right or left. A min
ror is helpful in city traffic
but it should never replace
a shoulder check.
Pedestrian Relations
You should give
pedestrians the same con-
sideration you hope to get
from cars. Like a car, you
are required to stop for
pedestrian crosswalks and
passengers boarding or
leaving streetcars. A new
law now also requires
cyclists to hop off and walk
if they cross a street using
a pedestrian crossover.
Finally, you should never
ride on the sidewalk if your
bike's wheels are bigger
than 24 inches (61 cm).
Sidewalks offer a false
sense of security, but
besides significantly in-
creasing your risk of
knocking down an un-
suspecting pedestrian, they
turn every driveway into
an intersection. Since no
one expects a bike to be on
the sidewalk in the first
place. no one will be trying
to avoid you when they sw-
ing into the driveway.
The Message Of Goodwill
Bicycles may not have
turn signals. headlights,
disk brakes. licences and
air conditioning (yet), but
they have all the nights of
any throe thousand pounds
of car out there. When you
ride like a motorist the peo.
ple behind the wheels can
understand what you're go-
ing to do next. It also gives
the message "I belong
here, and I'm going to
share the road in a predic-
table, courteous way - just
as I expect you to."
The list of rules may
seem overwhelming at
first, but mainly it's just
good sense. When you've
been on your bike for a few
weeks most of it will come
naturally. If you want more
specific information, pick
up a copy of the Toronto Ci-
ty Cycling Committee's
new Road Hog'Road War-
rior pamphlet in local bike
shops. The Ontario
Ministry of Transportation
has produced an excellent
free booklet, Cycling Skills,

Crop -Over Is Barbados
Biggest Festival Of Year
Barbados culture comes
into full flower during the
island's annual festival -
Crop -Over, July 14 - Aug. 6.
For three weeks, the tradi-
tionally relaxed ambience
of the island is transformed
into a vibrant, carnival -like
atmosphere.
Past meets present when
Barbadians join together to
celebrate the end of the
sugar cane crop harvest.
Kicking off with the
ceremonial delivery of the
last sugar canes, Crop -
Over celebrates Barbados'
national heritage with Ba-
jan music, performing
arts, crafts, costumes and
cuisine.
Called "Party Month" in
Barbados, Crop -Over at-
tracts the participation of
both tourists and Barba-
dians who join in the
myriad of activities and
competitions. The ex-
travaganza culminates on
August 6, a public holiday
called "Kadooment Day'
Crop -Over revellers have
come to enjoy favourite an-
nual events. However,
several new activities have
been added to this year's
Crop -Over program.
The Crop -Over Pro-
menade, on July 15 is an
entertaining afternoon of
Barbadian music ranging
from Tuk Band music, The
Royal Barbados Police
Band and traditional folk
singing.
Also new this year is the
Bajan Culture Village on
July 75, which offers a day
Of music, dance and games
for young and old alike.
Highlights include "stick
licking" and folk dancing
within a unique traditional
Bajan village setting.
Young Bajans also
become involved in the
Crop -Over celebrations. A
perennial favourite involv-
ing the smaller set, Junior
Kadooment on July 28, is a
parade of children's
costumes. The most spec-
tacular costume wins a
prize!
Pic -O -De -Crop, which
many believe to be the
highlight of Crop -Over,
features Barbados' top
calypsonians in competi-
tion at the National
Stadium. Eighteen semi-
finalists meet on July 27
and then the finalists
prepare to de -throne last
year's reigning monarch
on August 3.
The cultural festival
blooms on Aug. 5 at Cohob-
blopot. a rare blend of Ba-
jan dance, drama, calypso.
gospel, pop and comedy. A
spectacular cultural event,
Cohobblopot 'cooks up' a
simmering stew featuring
Barbados' best per-
formers.
And finally. Kadooment
on Aug. 6 signifies the end
of another Crop -Over. This
is the day for jumping,
jamming, singing and dan-
cing in the street. Over 30
costumed bands depicting
various themes of Barba-
dian life parade before the
judges and crowds at the
National Stadium. Then the
music and merriment
trickle to the streets for a
grand finale to a fun
festival.
For further information
on Crop -Over, contact the
Barbados Board of
Tourism at 9'79:17.
Cruise Holidays Becoming
Popular With Travellers
With more vacationers
than ever heading for the
high seas, cruise holidays
are now the fastest-
growing segment of the
travel market, experts say.
"The biggest changes in
cruising over the past
decade have involved the
lifestyle aboard ship," says
Hal Burns, Travel
Registrar with the Ontario
Ministry of Consumer and
Commercial Relations
(MCCR). "Cruises are far
more varied, convenient
and affordable than they
used to be."
Once vacationers decide
on a cruise holiday, they
should plan the trip
carefully. A few precau-
tions now can help set the
path for smooth sailing
when the holiday begins,
says Burns
Travellers should be sure
to book their cruises
through an agent
registered in Ontario. It's
usually easier to iron out
problems when dealing
with a local company than
it would be with an agent
operating outside the pro-
vince, Burns says.
All Ontario travel agen-
cies must be registered
with MCCR. This ensures
Let's Kill
The 7%
Federal GST
they follow the regulations
and practices set out in the
Ontario Travel Industry
Act. It also provides their
customers with some finan-
cial protection through the
Travel Compensation
Fund.
According to Burns,
travellers should think
carefully about booking
trips directly with a cruise
line using a toll-free
number for an out -of -
province office. This is a
popular marketing tool in
the industry, the registrar
says.
"While it's an efficient
way of making a booking
and is usually legitimate,
consumers should
remember that if anything
happens to the cruise line,
their funds aren't pro-
tected," he warns.
Air Sea combination
packages, which provide
for connecting flights to the
appropriate port, are
usually less expensive than
booking each portion of the
trip separately. Off-peak
bargains, early -bird
specials and last minute
discounts can also provide
savings, but be certain to
research these packages

Celebrate La Semaine Francophone
Celebrate the final to the
eighth annual La Semaine
francophone by taking part
in a myriad of activities,
music and dance typical of
many of the French-
speaking countries that
make up Toronto's Fran-
cophone population. Le

the cooperation of

Around Toronto
by John Hamilton
Take a walk around
Toronto - and get a glimpse
of the world!
That's entirely possible.
because Canada's largest
city is not only walkable,
its diverse and distinct
neighbourhoods hold a host
of surprises on even the
shortest of walks.
The flavour of its
neighbourhoods makes
Metropolitan Toronto uni-
que among big cities. While
undeniably urban, the
neighbourhoods retain the
friendliness and charm of
Toronto's origins. They're
places where people still
say hello when you pass
them on the sidewalk,
where next-door
neighbours know each
others names. From the
lakeside bustle of the
Beach to the quaint lanes of
Old Cabbagetown, the
history of the city and its
citizens is very much in
evidence.
And then there are
Toronto's ethnic
neighbourhoods, cultural
enclaves unto themselves.
In 1989, the United Nations
dubbed :Metro as the
world's most ethnicaliv-
diverse city. That variety
is reflected on the streets,
in the subways, and in the
cultural communities that
have sprung up, many just
in the last ten years. And
Toronto's ethnic popula-
tions continue to grow, as
new immigrants move to
the city and as new Cana-
dians bring up their
families.
To the visitor, Toronto's
multi-ethnic nature means
that there's someting new
carefully. Price should not
be the only factor con-
sidered. Burns says.
Cost will also be affected
by choice of accommoda-
tions. Air conditioning and
modern stabilizing systems
make room location less
important to comfort than
it once was, Burns says. So.
when choosing a room,
don't just look at location.
Compare size, layout and
any special features, he
suggests.
Should travellers have
problems despite careful
planning, they should try to
resolve them on board. Ac-
cording to the registrar.
the best person to see is the
purser, one of the snip's ad-
ministrative officers.

Traditionally, the month of June has been a time filled
with celebrations and activities. It's a time when young
people eagerly anticipate school's end: a time when many
couples march down the aisles and into matrimony; and a
time when families plan vacations often amidst family reu-
nions. It's a "people" time.
In Ontario, the month of June is the time when we honour
some very important people: senior citizens.
These are people we often know well. They may be our
mothers. our fathers, our grandparents, and our older
aunts and uncles, and our elder friends. They are people
who have brought us to where we are today. People who
have often made personal sacrifices to make sure we have
been fed, clothed and educated. They are the people who
have fought our wars, struggled through a depression and
helped to make this country what it is today.
Right now throughout Ontario, people of all ages are plan-
ning events to recognize and honour Ontario's senior
citizens. We are following a tradition that began twenty
years ago when June was designated as being the month
during which we officially acknowledge senior citizens'
contributions to our Province.
Socials, teas, fairs, fashion shows. concerts, conferences
and open houses at Ontario's adult centres are just a few of
the events communities are planning for June. Most of the
events will reflect this year's theme: "JubilAGEtion: A
Celebration of Age". The theme was chosen to help spread
the message that aging is something that can be celebrated.
Aging is a natural part of living, something that will hap-
pen to all of us; but something marry of us fear. I believe,
though, that we should celebrate the fact that we have the
opportunity to age.
For many older adults, it is a period of self-discovery. A
time for fulfilling dreams. and exploring opportunities. A
period when leisure time allows them to take up new
challenges, develop talents or use a lifetime of knowledge,
wisdom and experience to benefit themselves, their
families, our communities. our province and our country.
Manv older adults become involved in activities that have
a significant and positive impact on their community. This
year, twenty of these individuals were chosen, from 600
nominations, to receive Ontario's highest award for senior
citizens.
The Office for Seniors Affairs is involved in helping to en-
courage all residents of Ontario to recognize the contnbu-
tions of older adults to this province. The Office is always
looking for ways to promote public awareness to the many
accomplishments and talents of Ontario's older adults.
I believe that we all have a part to play in shaping these
new images of aging. We should be examining our own in-
dividual attitudes towards people in their seventies,
eighties and those in their nineties and beyond We need to
pause during Senior Ciuzers' Month to look at these fine
people as they look at themselves: merely older than others
in the community.
They remain what they have always been - a collection of
individual men and women who retain their highly -
individualized hopes, dreams, aspirations, needs and
wants. Only their shells have changed.
This month, during their own special time, they are in-
volved in their individual jubilagetions - their celebration of
age. Let's join with them in their celebration.

Brag That You're A Canadian!
With Rene Soetens, M.P.
The federal government's efforts to make the administra-
tion of the proposed Goods and Services Tax as fair and
straightforward as possible for small business has led to the
development of an additional method of simplified accoun-
ting. While the two methods suggested in the GST technical
paper are well suited to larger stores selling a mixture of
groceries and taxable goods, smaller businesses might find
themselves either ineligible or facing too complex or costly
a process.
Accordingly, the federal government is complementing
the two methods already available with a simplified
system. This system will allow small business to remit a
specified percentage of total sales. This percentage would
be derived from average sales and expenses for each
business sector, and would vary from 1% to 5% depending
on the business.
Firms choosing this method would still be required to col-
lect GST in the normal fashion. However, instead of remit-
ting the difference between the GST collected from
customers and the GST paid on business purchases in the
usual fashion, they would simply remit the predetermined
percentage of total sales (taxable and non-taxable). This
approach will replace the more detailed accounting process
necessary to calculate input tax credits and subtract these
from GST collected.
Since businesses in different sectors have varying value-
added and cost structures, separate rates are proposed for
grocery and convenience stores, for retail and wholesale
businesses selling other goods, and finally for other
businesses, including those providing services. Based on a
sales threshold of $200,000 and $500,000 for grocery vendors,
nearly half of the 1.6 million potential registrants would be
eligible.
In addition. many of the 330,000 potential voluntary
registrants with a total GST taxable sales under $30,000
could also take advantage of this simplified accounting op-
tion. Eligible firms choosing this method would file an elec-
tion with Revenue Canada and be required to use the
method for a year.
The advantges of this simplified approach for small
business are numerous. It means less complexity at the
deck -out counter and reduced need for sophisticated cash
registers. For staff dealing with GST, it means simpler and
cheaper bookkeeping requirements, less need for training.
easier completion of the GST return and reduced paper
burden. The government has indeed lived up to its promise
to make the transition to the GST as smooth as possible.
The final vote on "An Act Respecting Abortion" was held
on Tuesday, May 26th. The bill successfully passed final
reading and is now on its way to the Senate. I gave the bill
my support and only hope that the Senate does not get in the
way of the elected representatives.
