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. Any Liberal supporters interested in being a part of the team, should contact Durham West Liberal Association President, Terry Breen, at 428-3201. IThis Space Co I uld Be Yours For $9 PER WEEK Page 2 THE NEWS POST Wed. June 9-0.1990 Opinion . a page for expression for you and us 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.

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.

MIN 1M7 Mainstream Canada 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.

The OMPP A fleet of some of Toron- to's most impressive and sleek powerboats will be on public view Friday and Saturday evenings and Sunday morning at Marina Quay West, located at the foot of Spadina. Admission is free. 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.

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.

June 20, 1990 THE NEWS/POST Page 5 Energy Management Technology At New Hydro Office A new Ontario Hydro of- fice in Markham will feature the latest in energy management technology and be fully accessible to people with disabilities, Gord Sanford, Director, Central Region said recent- ly. Construction will begin this fall on the new two- storey office, which will be located on the south side of Highway 7, between Warden and Woodbine Ave., on a 14 -acre site own- ed by Ontario Hydro. About 200 employees will move in- to the new facility by late fall, 1991. Staff are current- ly located in North York at 5760 Yonge St., north of Finch Ave. The move to Markham will allow Hydro to provide adequate accommodations for its Central Region staff now and in the future. San- ford said the current facili- 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 preparation areas. Fully accessible to people with disabilities, it is expected that the new office will also have facilities to NYIACC Gets $49,800 Local Neighbours Grant Gino MaUvrdola, MPP Willowdale, has announced that the North York Inter Agency and Co-or*nating Committee (NYIACC) has been awarded a $49.800 Local Neighbours grant. Mr. Matrundola trade the announcement on behalf of Housing Minister John Sweeney. The funds are to be used w .,c.c^w aaoac pcw w promote affordable hous- ing in North York in- cluding a public education campaign to increase com- munity awarenes. "There is a demonstrated need for af- Yat, and I'm pleased that this committee is taking Reptile Walk At The Rouge 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 287-1776. Drive Carefully the initiative to tackle this issue," Mr. Matrundola said.

June 20, 1990 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 CAKES AND HAND -MADE CHOCOLATES Made ft*0 dally wlrh pun teMpping cream 1085 Bellamy Rd.

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.

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.

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.

Scouts & Guides Join Hunters Converting wildlife - barren properites into thriving forests is the goal of a new coalition between the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters and the Boy Scouts! Girl Guides of Canada. The new joint effort bet- ween the two organizations enriches the already - successful "Trees for Canada" program, a na- tional reforestation system launched in 1973 to replenish former logging properties and lands no longer being cultivated. Instead of planting only tree seedlings, scout leaders will now have their "troops" plant wildlife shrubs and additional tree species vital to wildlife habitat, said Kevin Callan, OFAH Wildlife Habitat Facilitator. "By using a rich diversi- ty of plants, a living forest is created." said Callan. "As time goes by, more people are realizing that you can't produce, or replace, a forest by simply planting trees. You have to do much more if you're to provide a home for On- tario's indigenous wildlife.- The ildlife.-The OFAH has also teamed with the Girl Guides of Canada under the new program, "Water for Tomorrow%". The program prevents stream shoreline erosion and entrances fish and wildlife habitat and agricultural drainage, said Callan. ..With the help of all three participating organizations, we hope to quickly gain the upper hard to win the battle against the loss of wildlife habitat,.. he said.

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 12:30 Energy Mines & Resources 1:00 Talking Metro -Ila Bassos 1:30 North York Arts Council Film & Video Competition 2:06•R,�,,uens Pass Challenge W Y Ra11 3:30 Jr. 8% Trade SSpprrung Build 4:00 Tfie Lernonaid Show lemon law 5:00 Reaction Green Revolution 6:00 MP MPP Reports -Poole T EY Marchi NY 6:15 Redw•ay T EY -Greene NY 6:30 Horizon -Islington Evangelical 7:OD Hooked On Fisting 7:30 Wild In The City 8:00 RogersWeeSpokrts Event Of The 10:00 MCA: Money Watch With Michael Hayden 10:30 MCA:leathercraft 11:00 LPGA Highlights 11:30 Rob Cormier 12:00 Aids Cable 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."

LtravelJ 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 Wed.

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.

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.

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.
