July 11, 1990 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Absolutely Incorrect by Bob Watson In the Wed. July 4th issue of the Scarborough Mirror, writer Stuart Green surpassed himself with an opinion com- posed wildly of inaccuracies and biases. The heading of the article was "Toronto knows what Scarborough doesn't" and it was an attack on the Miss Scarborough Pageant, operated by yours truly! In his story he says: "A year and another Miss Scar- borough pageant later the royal blue carpets of the main rotunda are still not free of high heeled stilettos worn by bikini -clad nubile females - but Nathan Philips Square is." This is really stupid - the young women in the Miss Scar- borough Pageant do not wear out the carpet any more than any other females wearing high heels. And each woman in the pageant belongs to a family paying big municipal taxes to the City of Scarborough in the exact same way as our ex- treme feminist mayor, Joyce Trimmer. We might also inform Stuart Green, who obviously has never watched the Miss Scarborough Pageant, that our con- testants are not "bikini -clad nubile females". They are all very intelligent, knowledgeable females who only wear swimwear briefly during the pageant - only one or two wall wear a bikini - it is the contestant's choice! Then writer Stuart Green says: "It's not that I'm opposed to praise of beauty, but. like Mayor Joyce Trimmer, I don't find nightgown competitions and swimsuit parades a truly accurate way to judge beauty." Well surprise Stuart Green, the Miss Scarborough Pageant contestants do not wear "nightgowns" now do they wear swimwear for more than two minutes each during the competition. The scoring is done in three phases - on per- sonality, on intelligence and on physical beauty. The result is heavily loaded on intelligence and personality -ask any of the contestants for the truth because Stuart Green obvious- ly knows absolutely nothing about this pageant. Then Mr. Greer( says: "If anyone wants to see a woman parade around in a biltim. there are plenty of private establishments that offer this farm of "entertainment". I just don't think a public place is an appropriate venue." (We corrected his spelling of the word "appropriate-.) Oh, apparently, if Stuart Green and his friend, Joyce Trimmer had the power they would ban swim wear on KewBeach and all of the other beaches around - after all. they are public places as well' Just to pus the issue straight down at Toronto's City Hall square. each day now since the vote of that ridiculous city council. you can see women at lunch time showing as much leg as they can in oder to get a suntan. Most of them are showing more leg than the contestants of the Miss Toronto pageant, who wore nice decent length dresses when they us- ed to appear on the square' So much for banning the sexy look' Oh. we must point out as well that the Scarborough Mir- ror besides its idiotic opinion by Stuart Green on page 8 had a nice photo of a bikini -clad contestant in the Scarborough Canada Day Wee Hawaiian Tropic Tan Bikini Context on page 9. It seems that the Mirror doesn't disapprove of bikinis in Scarborough's Thiornson Park - and come to think of it, we haven't heard of feminist Mayor Joyce Trim- mer complaining about this event either. Of course, perhaps she hasn't visited that part of Scarborough on Canada Day' It was in 1909 that mayor Joyce Trimmer pressed for a vote at Scarborough Council to have the Miss Scarborough Pageant banned from the civic centre. The vote was 12-3 against her wishes which shows that the members of Scar- borough Council are quite a bit more sensitive than the City of Toronto council members. Hydro's Purchases Of Materials & Services Ontario Hydro spent over $10 million on major purchases in April, most of it on material and equipment that will go toward maintaining the utility's province -wide electrical distribution system. The largest contract, worth over $1.8 million, was shared by three companies. GEC in Scarborough, EPAC in Bramp- ton and K -line in Scarborough will provide Hydro with polymeric ( rubberized) insulators to replace existing Porcelain ones. The equipment is used to support and in- sulate conductor wire on distribution lines. More than $2.2 million was spent on bare copper conduc- tor, which is used in various transformer and distribution [news � ost Published every Wednesday by Watson Publishing Company Limited.

(Photo - Bob Wat- son) New Firearms Law Could Encourage Law Breaking Portions of the federal government's proposed firearms legislation could actually promote law breaking. says the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters (OFAH) . A 400 percent hike in the cost of Firearms Acquisition Certificates � FAC) is uatw•arranted and will have a negative effect on the control and legal use of firearms across Canada, said Rick Morgan. OFAH executive vice presi- dent. Calling the proposed FAC increase from $10 to $50 "a blatant tax grab." Morgan said the new law could create more law breaking than it prevents. "I am convinced that the $50 fee, by itself, will prompt many otherwise honest Canadians to break the law," he said. "Firearms will be illegally sold and loaned to friends and acquaintances unwilling to shell out $50 - and that is wrong. Our government should encourage, not discourage. compliance with the law. Lowering the proposed fee is im- portant and the OFAH will fight for it," Morgan added. In addition to the fee hike, proposals to implement a 28 day waiting period for FAC approval, and the requirement of photographs and references, may further complicate firearms control, be said The OFAH is also concerned that new limitations on clip sines may render many previously common and lawful firearms useless. It's unknown if smaller clips are available for many firearms currently owned by law abiding citizens. But the OFAH was pleased to see a proposal for man- datory education and testing for all first-time firearms owners, action the Federation has long lobbied for, said Morgan. The new system should resemble the current man- datory Ontario Hunter Education Program. he said which is implemented with the backing and co-operation of the OFAH. stations. Winners of the contracts were Canada Wire & Cable, with plants in Toronto and Etobicoke, Phillips Cables in Brockville, and Pirelli Cables in St. Jean, Quebec. A $940,000 contract, for the supply of control cable, was shared by Canada Wire & Cable in Toronto, Shawflex in Rexdale, and Pirelli Cables in St. Jean. The cable will be us- ed in auxiliary control circuitry on devices that help control the flow of electricity at various switching, transformer and distribution stations. The second single largest contract, worth over $1.6 million, went to Dean Construction in Tecumseh. The com- pany will install sediment suction pipe in the cooling water intake channel at Pickering B nuclear generating station. Suction pipe is used to prevent sludge build-up in the chan- nel. which extends from Lake Ontario to the station pump 37 Meech Is Dead: Long Live Canada DAVID SOMERVILLE. The Meech Lake Accord is finally dead. From its painful and messy demise, however, a stronger Canada may well emerge. Had the Accord passed, it would have been an appal -ling appeasement of Quebec's ultimatum to the rest of the country. Throughout the re- cent "negotiations" over the Accord, Quebec Premier Robert Bourassa rigidly refused to make any con -cessions and hinted that Quebec would separate from Canada if it did not get its way. If the Accord had passed under a such a threat, it would have encouraged other separatist grumps - most likely from the West - to engage in similar constitutional blackmail by threatening separation. As well, the whole Meech Lake process was undemocratic and flawed. Our proud democratic traditions are violated when political power brokers meet secretly to impose constitutional atnendnlents on Canadians. As Newfoundland Premier Clyde Wells put it, "The Constitution of this land should not be developed by 11 fust ministers sitting around in the secrecy of a private dinner meeting . .. It boggles the mind..." Other aspects of the of the Meech negotiations were just plain sordid and shabby. Reports emerged, for instance, that political leaders at the talks were bugged and tailed. Prime Minister Mulroney admitted he had staged the meeting at the eleventh hour to simply to create a crisis atmosphere - to 'roll all the dice" in his own words. Opponents of the accord were deliberately isolated and bullied The substance of the Accord was just as appalling as the process that created it. By giving every province - but most importantly Quebec - a veto over some crucial constitutional areas such as Senate reform and the composition of the Supreme Court, the Constitution would have been dangerously frozen in time. Specifically, hope for a Triple -E Senate - one that is equal, effective and elected -would have been killed if the Meech Lake Accord was ratified. The Triple -E Senate is needed to protect the interests of the less populated regions of Canada from further economic pillaging. Also, even if Quebec's population continues to decline it would still have retained the right under the Accord to appoint 33 per cent of the justices who exert such enormous power on the bench of the Supreme Court of Canada. It should be mentioned that the failure of Meech will not affect Quebec as a distinct society. It will continue to emerge as a unilingual French entity inside Canada. Let us hope our political leaders do not spend too much time mourning Meech's ping- They must go back to the drawing board and draft a new formula that all Canadians Can aCCepL (Da,id Scow vdle is Praadent of Tits National Citizens' Coalition.) Here and There Grants To Public Libraries Six public library boards in Metro Toronto willreceive a total of $6,438,592 in grants to support library srvices for the 1990 91 fiscal year, Ontario Culture and Communications Minister Hugh O'Neil has announced. This represents an increase of four percent over last year's funding. Grants are calculated on a per household basis. This year the transfer payments will be made in one installment so that libraries will receive 100% of their grant eariv in the fiscal year. STATFACTS Pleasure boat ownership was on the rise steadily through the 1970s and up to the economic recession of the early 1980s, when it peaked at just over 16% of all households, ac- cording to information collected by Statistics Canada. It has stayed close to the 15% level every year since. Pleasure boating is a family activity, Statistics Canada information shows. Of all families with children in 1989, two of every 10 owned a boat. Fire extinguishers and wall mounting brackets will be supplied by Safety Supply Canada in Richmond Hill for $150,000. The equipment is for use at all Ontario Hydro loca- tions.

July 11, 1890 THE NEWS/POST Page 3 The Clean Water Dream Canoe Venture On Canada Day, July 1, 1990, Max Finkelstein, an experienced long-distance solo canoeist and member of the Canadian Recrea- tional Canoeing Associa- tion, took the first paddle stroke to begin a solo canoe journey for the environ- ment. It will cover approx- imately 1500 kilometers and bring him back to the foot of the Parliament Buildings about four weeks later. The July i starting date is appropriate, since the theme of Canada Day 1990 is "The Environment". The main reason for Max's canoe trip is to raise awareness of the en- vironmental and heritage values of waterways and to let people know how they can contribute to healthier water ecosystems. "We have to protect our waterways," Max stresses. "They are a significant part of Canada's natural and cultural heritage, and they are important to the spiritual and physical health of Canadians." Max's journey started out solo, but he invited peo- ple to join him. He left from the Canadian Museum of Civilization at 10 a.m. on Canada Day and paddled down the Rideau Canal to Kingston, where he entered Lake Ontario and con- tinued west to Trenton. At Trenton. he will enter the Trent -Severn Water- way and work his way up to Georgian Bay. From Georgian Bay he will ac- cess the French River, and paddle on to Lake Nipiss- ing. where he will enter the Mattawa River. He will take the Mattawa to the Ot- tawa River and paddle downstream to arrive in Ottawa at the end of July. As he paddles along, 'Max will stop at parks and campsites, or wherever people are gathered, to Recycle Yard Debris For Environment & Budget As environmental issues become mote poral costs, the need to buy mulch and vital moisture — which can reduce water dominant, towns across the nation am thereby revitalize and protect all plant bills.

One of those steps is to pick up garbage or debris that we see in the water, as promoted by the Canadian Recreational Canoeing Association through the Canadian Canoe Route Environmen- tal Cleanup Project. Laun- ched during Environment Week, the project will con- tinue throughout the sum- mer. Max will also be raising funds for the Bill Mason Memorial Scholarship Fund, which will award an annual scholarship to a worthy outdoor recreation or environmental studies student at a Canadian col- lege or university. With the permission of the Mason family, the Canadian Recreational Canoeing Association has established this tribute to the late Bill Mason, internationally known canoeist, en- vironmentalist, artist, film maker, photographer and public speaker. Max is an avid canoeist and wilderness traveller who has participated in wilderness expeditions in the Northwest Territories, Alaska, the Yukon, and Africa. He is a long-time advocate of preserving wilderness, but feels that it is just as important to pro- tect rural and urban natural areas. Mr. Finkelstein has worked for the Canadian Parks Service and the Canadian Wildlife Service for over ten years as an in- terpreter, writer and researcher. He has lived much of his life along the Ottawa. Rideau and Trent waterways.

Page 6 THE NEWS! POST Wed. July 11, 1990 Bill Watt's Worlds ON STAGE: You have only until this Saturday to catch the final performance of Love Let- ters, the two character reading of same, currently in residence at the Winter Garden. The previous per- formers were Victor Garber and Madeline Kahn. Presently they are Colleen Dewhurst and E.G. Marshall. Comparisons are not Necessarily odious but they are inevitable. At the outset let it be clear that such comparisons are not -indices of relative worth or accomplishment. Miss Kahn and Mr. Garber brought to the roles the vitality of youth. Miss Dewhurst and Mr. Mar- shall bring them the Maturity of latter years. It's not so much a gloaming to dawn comparison as it is dusk to high noon. We first saw Miss Dewhurst some number of years ago. during the golden days of early televi- sion drama. She %%-m play- ing the role of a distraught young mother. We well remember thinking how apt is her name. Even in the harsh lights of the television studio she had a dewy complexion, a soft- ness that made one want to reach out and hold her in comfort in understanding. Of latter vears she has seemed to have coarsened. as witness her Marilla in Anne of Green Gables. Yet. in Love Letters she is once again the Colleen Dewhurst we first knew, soft but with the patina of maturity If eves are the MOVIE NIGHT VIDEO 755-4006 Rent one get one FREE with this coupon No -11rws.99s ar lMei Will dwr ftew do f2 49 fer tie assn 1717 Lawrance Ave.E Cv Vkbft PkMaAat to SwY Mur mirror of the soul, then Miss Dewhurst is not ac- ting but rather letting an appreciative audience ex- perience the thrill of a master actress' approach to a role; that of a woman not perhaps always happy with herself but always, albeit unknown even to herself, in love with the man whose letters she cherishes. As the man E.G. Mar- shall gives another one of his performances where he does not even appear to be acting. In fact, and for the first few minutes of the play, one might almost think him wooden. Not so; he is progressing from the wordage of a young boy through the literate mumblings of the adoles- cent to the confidence of the adult. Truly quite masterful and yet the audience is barely aware of the transi- tion; rather like watching a child grow up but not being aware of it until one sees photographs of said child through the years. Our admiration and ap- preciation of :Miss Dewhurst and Mr. Man shall does indeed go back a number of years. After see- ing them together in Love Letters, %%v care for them even more.

It's all highly im- probable, of course, but the special effects alone make it enjoyable. Film students will be much taken by the superb use of miniatures and the excellent editing splicing is worthy of Academy Award nomination at least.

AL FRESCO: The Canadian Stage Company has announced that the eighth annual Dream in High Park will open on Sat. July 21st. Once again the play will be The Comedy of Errors. Once again we recommend at- tendance and once again we indulge ourself in some editorializing. As always, The Dream is intended to allow the ap- preciation of Shakespeare at a modest price. In fact, there is no admission charge but a minimum donation of $3 per person is suggested. For $3 The Dream is or should be far and away the greatest entertainment value anywhere in the city. Yet, if one pays an enter- tainment cost, it seems to us that one should be guaranteed good "seating". By that, we don't mean comfortable chairs. A Dream is to be enjoyed sitting on the ground in the natural am- phitheatre behind the Grenadier Restaurant. We mean however, that all should be able to see and hear the performance. There should not be more people allowed in than there is space to accom- modate. And, the perfor- mance should start on time! One should not have to be there early for good seating only to be moved away from it by late comers who shouldn't be there anyway. $3 or $30 .. whatever one pays, should secure a view of the stage within the sound of the performers. Anything else is unaccep- table. P -kRTY TIME : Guess what turns thirty this October. The O'Keefe Centre, that's what.

Addiction Research Survey On Alcohol/Drug Abuse Although you may never require treatment for alcohol or other drug abuse, someone close to you might. A survey by the Addiction Research Foun- dation I ARF) showed that in 1996 over 47.000 people in Ontario (6.6 per 1,000 population, 15 years and over) required treatment for addiction to drugs or alcohol. This is in addition to the people who are receiving help or treatment through Alcoholics Anonymous, family physicians and other community resources. How and where people get treatment is the subject of ARF research that started in 1979. The ARF suriteys all treatment services every three years in order to monitor trends in the development of addiction services in the province. Until the ARF survey, there was no way of monitoring the total On- tario treatment system. By monitoring current trends, these surveys pro- vide information that is essential for planning pur- poses. ..Since we began, there have been many changes in addiction treatment in On- tario, including more treat - are masters of scat.

From Alice in Wonderland. ment facilities, more types of programs and more ac- cessibility for women," says Brian Rush, who con- ducted the survey along with Ardith Ekdahl. In the late 1970s studies showed that although hospital -phased programs were more expensive than community-based ser- vices, they were not generally more effective. As a result, the ARF recommended more em- phasis on community- based services in the development of an addic- tion treatment system for Ontario. Since that time, the network of community- based services has dramatically increased. The capacity of day treatment services has also increased from less than 1,500 in 1979.80 to nearly 3,000 in 1985-86. The number of persons in short- term residential programs that are not affiliated with a hospital also increased from 919 in 1979-80 to 2,372 in 1965-86. According to the ARF, the total number of treat- ment programs available in Ontario increased from 130 to 186 during the six- year span between 19179.80 and 1985-86. As well, surveys for the same period show a marked in- crease in the number of women being treated. "Researchers and treat- ment counsellors have stressed how important it is, when recommending treatment, to assess each person individually in order to determine what will work best for him or her," Rush says. Instead of automatically recommen- ding residential treatment, improved assessment has allowed many people to be treated in out-patient pro- grams, thus freeing -up more spaces in residential treatment. In response to this improved ability to match the right program to each person's specific need, the capacity of specialized assessment .;referral pro- grams available in Ontario increased almost 600% dur- ing the period from 1979.80 to 1965-86. "Some of the areas that we are suggesting should have additional programs in the future are non- residential programs for early-stage problem drinkers and special groups such as youth and the elderly," Rush said. The Addiction Research Foundation is an agency of the Province of Ontario. i�► - One of the volunteer areas within the Toronto Humane Mother And Society is that of the Foster Department.

"There is a wide-ranging opinion about what constitutes `sustainable,'" the institute says in its response. "Contracted research work, consultation with repre- sentatives from all sectors and information provided by a common database are needed to achieve a consensus on this vital point." The institute's primary focus is forested land. Forestry is one of Canada's major primary industries, and one that appears vulnerable to confrontation, says zoology profes- sor Keith Ronald, IEPS director. "Almost half of Canada's land mass is forested or was," says Ronald. "It is especially urgent for Canada to move towards better protection and use of the forests, effective restoration and improved understanding of its forest resour- ces in the context of sustainable environmenL" He says the federal government should study how to best contribute to the goal of sustainability while respecting the jurisdictional prerogatives of the provinces. This, he says, could lead to an environ- mental bill of rights that has national support. In its response to The Green Plan, the institute also urges Ot- tawa to seek independent, arm's-length reviews of federal en- vironmental laws, policies and regulations (Bouchard's proposed plan calls for self -review by the government). There are obvious difficulties in any body undertaking an un- biased review that is wholly internal and, at the same time, being perceived as credible and im- partial," the institute says. IFPS was launched last year in response to the need for an autonomous, neutral site for inter- action among all sectors seeking environmental action. Its mission is to mobilize co-operation among business, education, industry, labor, government, non-govern- ment agencies, native groups and the public, in an attempt to develop effective environmental policies and actions pertaining to forested lands.

"The club has been very fortunatethis year with the coverage given to it and its various service projects. This coverage has not only helped the club's projects but it also helped them win, for the second year in a row. The Zone Public Rela- tions Award and The District Cystic Fibrosis Public Relations Award," says Gordon. It is only fitting therefore that we honour the individuals and organizations that have helped cis," he adds. Last year the club was able to bold a special media appreciation night for the winners but due to the loss of one of their major fun- draising projects - The Morningside Mall Holiday Fleamarkets - which brought in about $30,000 a year: the club has decided to present each winner with a certificate of apprecia- tion instead. The club also decided to donate the $500 it would have spent on the evening to The Hospital For Sick Children's Telethon on CFTO. This was done on Sun.

Poslurs. now 81, has devoted much of his life to improving the care of the elderly. Due to his vision and leadership. the Jewish Old Folks' Home has since become Baycrest Centre for Geriatric Care. He is also well-known for his involvement with Mount Sinai Hospital, the United Way, the Clarke In- stitute of Psychiatry, the Ontario Mental Health Foundation and the Unified Jewish Appeal to name just a few.

New Literacy Volunteer Awards Scarborough Centre MP Pauline Browes, Parliamentary Secretary to Multiculturalism and Citizenship Minister Gerry Weiner, has announced the establishment of Canada's Literacy Volunteer Award to honour volunteers and community organizations across Canada who have made a significant con- tribution in the field of literacy. Pauline Browes made the announcement at the 45th annual conference of the Canadian Library Association (CLA) which will administer the awards program along with the Canadian Association of $5.6 Million For Health Boards of health will receive $5.6 million in new ministry funding to con- tinue implementing the April 1989 revised guidelines for mandatory public health programs and services, Health Minister Elinor Caplan has announced. Additional municipal contributions of $1.6 million Will bring total new spen- ding in the second year of implementation to $7.2 trillion. Full implementa- tion is required by the end of 1992. From the health ministry's additional $5.6 million for 199491, Healthy Lifestyle programs will receive $640.700. The two lifestyle programs flagged for provincewide im- plementation by local boards of health this year are Tobacco Use Preven- tion and Nutrition Promo- tion. Smoking is considered the most preventable cause of disease in Ontario, while b althy eating helps reduce the risk of heart attacks and stokes. Healthy Growth and Development programs will receive an extra $2.6 million this year, directed toward both children and the elderly. Programs for the young will be aimed mainly at smoking and drug abuse. In addition, programs for parents will cover areas such as nutri- tion, childrearing and family relationships. Pro- grams for the elderly and their caregivers emphasize ways to help people stay in their own homes and com- munities as long as possi- ble. Sexual Health programs, to help people avoid utn- wanted pregnancies and to reduce the incidence of sex- ually transmitted diseases, Soviet -Georgian Art Exhibition At Four Seasons A unique and fascinating display of Soviet culture, never seen before in North America, will be on display at the Four Seasons Hotel Toronto at 21 Avenue Rd. The premiere showing will be held in La Serre, the hotel's elegant lobby lounge, from July 3 to 15th. Hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of Soviet - Russian art, from the Soviet Union's finest ar- tists, will be on exhibit. The show provides a magnificent opportunity to gain more understanding about Soviet people and their culture at a time when Canada is cementing new friendships and forg- ing new links with the Soviet Union. The exhibition includes the works of artists who five years ago were shunn- ed by Soviet authorities, but today are admired and Lawson Rd. 1286-18441 or by calling 281-7893. The evening will include a floor show during dinner and lots of door prizes. their works purchased by the most prestigious museums in the Soviet Union. The exhibition features the works of Zverev, Filip- pov, Mostovoy, Mikeladze, Ganevich, Kurchishvili and Devdariani - seven very talented contemporary ar- tists who provide a window into Soviet life. It is in part, the new "openness" of Gorbachev that has allowed much of this art to be exported from the Soviet Union. Soviet art is causing a sensation in the interna- tional art scene. World famous auction house, Sotheby's, was the first to sell a Soviet -Russian pain- ting in July 1988. A Bruskin work, never before ac- cepted or recognized, at- tracted US $416,000. Across the world art col- lectors are quickly realiz- ing the potential of Soviet - Russian art. Paintings, in the early 1980's considered virtually worthless, are to- day fetching hundreds of thousands of dollars apiece. will be enhanced by new funding of almost $600,000 a year. An extra $365,000 a year will support traditional public health roles in con- trolling diseases ranging from rabies and tuber- culosis to polio, diphtheria, whooping cough and others against which Ontario children are vaccinated. Public health strategies are essential, too,in managing any outbreaks of communicable diseases. Additional funds of $1.4 million a year are also be- ing allocated in 199491 to accommodate the impact of population growth on On- tario's mandatory public health programs and ser- vices. and to provide technological and other support where needed.

Multiculturalism and Citizenship Canada has earmarked $189,000 for the project. The M.P. who proposed the award in the Fall of 1969, said 50 certificates would be issued per federal riding when they are awarded late this fall. Recipients will be selected by local library boards and Members of Parliament will be invited to take part in the presentation ceremonies. "This program will go a long way not only towards raising the awareness of literacy problems in Canada but also of making people aware of the tremendous work being performed by volunteers," said Pauline Browes. The Certificates of Honour and nomination forms and kits are current- ly in production and will be delivered to the CIA which will be responsible for the distribution of the materials to the libraries.

Average lodging and meal expenses are based on rates and prices for more than 200 CAA/AAA inspected and approved lodgings and restaurants in CAA; AAA Tourbooks. Lodging rates used by CAA include a $5 daily charge per child although some establishments do not charge for children. Dining expenses represent three meals per day and include a variety of restaurants. The CAA says a family of two adults and two children can expect to spend $84.10 a day for lodging and $95.40 a day for meals. There are significant regional dif- ferences in lodging and food costs. The province of Quebec has the highest average lodging and meal rates, $99.58 and $28.811 respectively. Saskat- chewan has the lowest average lodging rate at $57.17 and the Yukon ter- ritory has the lowest average food rate per per- son at $1725. Vacation casts depend on a family's preference and budget, but higher costs can be expected during popular travel periods and near large metropolitan areas. To save on lodging. CAA recommends making reservations to ensure availability of the lodgings that best suit your budget. CAA AAA Tourbooks pro- vide special value and guaranteed member rates. If it is not possible to make a reservation in advance, travellers should arrive at destinations early enough to have a selection of ac- commodation and prices. Meal costs can be reduc- ed by having the main meal at mid-day to take advan- tage of lower lunch prices, picnicking or enjoying "early bird" dinner specials. Where motoring is con- cerned, the family can ex- pect to pay $8.15 for each 100 km driven. CAA's driv- ing budget is based on a Ford Tempo with an automatic transmission driven 24,000 kilometres per year. The budget in- cludes gasoline and oil, maintenance and an allowance for tire wear. Costs will be higher or lower depending upon the fuel economy of individual vehicles. Motoring expenses are based on the CAA publica- tion "1990-1991 CAA Car Costs" which will soon be available from most CAA offices. The 3.3 million member CAA is the most - for -profit federation of all provincial and regional motor clubs in Canada. A submarine will be cruising through the lakes of Switzerland this sum- mer.

July 11, 11811 THE NEWS/ POST Page 11 Strasbourg During The Spargel Season by Bob Rice There is only one thing better than to be in Strasbourg and that is to be in Strasbourg when the sparge] is in season. Strasbourg, contrary to popular belief, is located in France... not in Germany. It is easy to understand why some people are con- fused since the city seems to have more of a German flavour than French. As a matter of fact, one reporter accompanying the U.S. president on a visit to this city on the Rhine referred to Strasbourg as the city where the sauerkraut has a French accent. And the spargel? That is the German name for asparagus and here, in ear- ly May, the vegetable is as revered as are the wines from the nearby Alsace region. In this area the gastronomy is as impor- tant as life itself. And when the spargel, plump and white, is taken from the ground and sent to the hun- dreds of kitchens in the to be delivered in November, 1991. What is m' - teresting is that the airplanes are the A310s made in the free world by Airbus Industries. The Queen Mary. now permanently anchored in Long Beach. California. is said to be home to a group of fun -loving ghosts. The ships crew has reported hearing the sound of pool parties ... when the pool area was empty. Ghostbusters. anyone?

Let's Kill The 7% Federal GST area, it is transformed into dishes that not only whet the appetite but also send you back for more. Guy -Pierre Baumann is one of the premier chefs of France. In addition to his successful restaurant in Paris, he also owns and operates the Maison Kam- merzell, located across the square from the Cathedral in Strasbourg. The restaurant was built in 1427. 65 years before Christopher Columbus and his rag -tag crew set foot in the Bahamas. In the Maison Kam- merzell, Deirdre enjoyed a rack of lamb that defied description while I tucked - in to an asparagus dish featuring two sauces. Later I talked with Chef Baumann and asked why he had moved the bulk of his operation from Paris to Strasbourg. Kis answer was typical of those I received from many others who had relocated there. Strasbourg seemed to offer everything Paris did without the rudeness and pressure so associated with the City of lights. Strasbourg is a unique European city. Originally founded by the Romans in 12 B.C., it soon became the crossroads of Europe. A flourishing trading centre, it changed hands several times from French to Ger- man and vice versa until General Leclerc and his troops liberated it from the Nazis in 1944. Now, in addition to its prominence as the capital of the Alsace region of France, Strasbourg is also the seat of the. Council of Europe and will be, quite literally, the capital of the new Europe of 1992. Much of the beauty of Strasbourg is found in La Petite France, the old town section of the city. Isolated from the mainlands by the River 111 and its locks and canals. here is where the Cathedral stands, built of pink sandstone, with its 142 -metre spire. Cruises. along the canals photo by Bob Rice and river relive its history with narration in several languages. A chilling touch is added when passing the medieval prison for women with its cold, stone walls. Tourists almost gasp when the guide explains that this barbaric edifice was in use as recently as the last decade. Strasbourg is also a city of people. Unlike their Parisian counterparts. he natives of Strasbourg ,•ant to make their visitors feel at home. Visit a "winst ann". a small and very informal restaurant where you will share a long table with many other diners. Don't wary about the language barrier. If German or French is difficult for you, you can still get by with hand gestures and a smile. And if I have convinced you that Strasbourg is for you try to pian your visit in May. That's when the spargel is available everywhere. This beautiful Grand Prix LE is waiting for you at Foster Pontiac Buick Ltd.

BLOCK PARENTS Canada Trust has put out an informative pamphlet on the Block Parent Program that I picked up at the Pickering Library. A Block Parent is any responsible adult who cares enough about the well being of children and other persons to volunteer his or her home as a safe refuge when a need arises. A Block Parent sign in the window lets children in distress know that a Block Parent is home to provide a safe haven. And even when there is no cause for concern. the Block Parent sign can act as a deterrent to potential of- fenders who can quickly conclude that the neighbourhood has its own safety support system. If you are interested in being a Block Parent, pick up one of the brochures, fill it out and mail or bring it to your nearest Elementary School, your police force or the manager at any office of Canada Trust Realtor.

The fust restrictions on gun ownership were established in 1892 and since that time the Government of Canada has sought to prevent the misuse of firearms through successive amendments to the Criminal Code. On June 26th, 1990, the Honourable Kim Campbell, Minister of Justice, introduced amendments to the Criminal Code pro- visions concerning gun control. The amendments are a comprehensive package intended to strengthen the control of guns in Canada. The proposals provide for national firearms safety training courses, man- datory testing for would-be gun owners and the establish- ment of a Canadian Advisory Council of Firearms. In the words of Ms. Campbell "these proposals will reduce ac- cidental and criminal misuse of guns, keep guns out of the hands of dangerous persons and encourage and ensure responsible gun ownership and use." The public safety measures in the amendments include a ban on the import and possession of fully -automatic firearms converted to fire in a semi-automatic mode. The conversion of firearms to fully automatic capacity and large capacity cartridge magazines will be banned. In addi- tion, specific military and para -military type weapons will be prohibited following the development and approval of criteria by the Minister to identify these firearms. Tighter access to guns is also proposed. Measures to keep guns out of the wrong hands include stricter screening of would -be -gun owners. Anyone applying for a Firarms Ac- quisition Certificate would have to provide: two references, a photograph, and wait 28 days to enable a thorough assess- ment of the applicant. Simultaneously, the proposed amendments will also lessen red -tape for legitimate gun owners. For example, spouses will be able to obtain a transportation permit for a gun registered to the other spouse. It will also be easier for shooting competitors from outside Canada to obtain a transport permit. This legislation reflects extensive consultation with Queen's Park Report from Norah Stoner MPP Durham West 1111111 On June 19, we received a visit that all of us in the com- munity had anxiously been awaiting - the arrival of the Minister of Health, the Honourable Elinor Caplan. The Minister attended a press conference at the Ajax Pickering Hospital and made a major funding announcement impac- ting upon all of Durham Region. For us, in our community, her announcement was the joyous climax to three long years of fundraising, planning and presentation. The minister announced that $20.7 million will be provid- ed to the Ajax Pickering Hospital for their planning, equip- ment and construction costs. This funding includes an addi- tional $7 million above and beyond the original commit- ment of $14.8 million made to the community. The Ministry of Health will soon be giving notice to the Hospital Board for them to proceed to tender. Construction of the new expansion is expected to start this coming Oc- tober. The hospital will be using its funding to expand its acute and outpatient services, as well as establishing both in- patient and out-patient psychiatric services. In addition, the intensive care unit and surgical suites will be enlarged, and diagnostic and support services, including laboratory, nutrition, pharmacy and rehabilitation, will be enhanced The Minister also announced funding totalling $J7 million for other projects within the Durham Region. These other commitments are: 571 million for expansion of the Oshawa General Hospital. $2.4 million for renovation of Port Perry's Community Memorial Hospital; and $2 million for expansion of services at Whitby General Hospital. The expansion of the Ajax Pickering hospital, along with these three other capital projects, were identified as priorities by the Durham District Health Council's health services planning committee. The committee was established in March to develop short-range planting recommendations for health services and facilities in the Region. The Ministry of Health is committed to continuing this plartnng process throughout the Region to address the future service needs in our communities. We want to focus on people, the services they need, and the different ways these services can be provided, whether it is in the hospital, community or at home. Our government remains committed to ensuring that the most appropriate health services are available to all, and that the hospitals maintain their important sources of effec- tive, quality care. It is in this way that we can best meet the real and changing needs of our community. Congratulations to everyone on this exciting, and needed, announcement of the $20.7 million in funding. The entire community is to be applauded for their dedication, commit- ment and loyalty that has resulted in the (ural celebratory stage. In particular. Rally Simons, Chairman of the Hospital Board, and his Board of Directors, a special thanks to you. I also would like to extend a thank you to the public relations team of Chris Fox and Joe Atkinson. It has been a pleasure working with you these past three years - To the hospital staff, the doctors and the nurses who have been dealing with overcrowding and extremely difficult working conditions, thank you and congratulations. It has been your flexibility and innovation that has buffered the community during this fundraising period. Your profes- sionalism, dedication and concern has been appreciated by everyone. On behalf of the community, thank you once again. LOCAL UPDATE Congratulations to the Town of Pickering's Seniors' Ac- tivity Centre. They recently received the fust $30,000 of an annual grant from the Minister of Community and Social Services. The funding will be used to assist the centre in establishing social and recreational programs for seniors who are living at home in the Pickering area. These pro- grams will include cards, fitness classes, dancing, carpet bowling, language classes, arts and crafts, and other pro- grams. Contact the Town of Pickering for more information on the programs and registration. various interest groups concerning possible amendments to the firearms provisions of the Criminal Code. Promoting responsible gun ownership and limiting access to gnus will help ensure that we have a safer and better system of gun control. These amendments will provide comfort to Cana- dians and help alleviate the personal sense of fear and vulnerability that people experience in today's society. I am confident that these changes will provide an effective balance between public safety and legitimate users.
