July 25, 1990 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Down With Interest by Bob Watson Well the economy is now showing, what most business people knew, that bankruptcies are killing thousands of small businesses and the reason for the increase in bankruptcies is simply the high interest rate being main- tained by the Bank of Canada. Object of the high interest rate is to suppress high infla- tion but if we have no inflation rate and a country falling apart economically then the reasoning by the head man at the Bank of Canada, who is backed by Finance Minister Michael Wilson and the Prime Minister of this country, Brian Mulroney, is wrong. All three should resign because their actions are not for the betterment of this country's economy. Our dollar is going up in value as opposed to the American dollar and this may seem terrific but it also means that our goods and products we sell to the United States will be higher in price and not so saleable' This is more trouble economically for another sector of our economy. The cold, hard facts are that these financial "experts" are making big decisions based on a simple rule. which can- not be applied to a complicated issue such as the economy. In our humble opinion, the bank rate should be lowered every Thursday by one per cent until it is at 6 per cent. Then almost everyone could buy a house. a car and other goodies - and those industries would be prosperous and otw economy would be in much better shape. High interest rates are of no real advantage to anyone - except the banks and nicely paid. highly placed officials such as the head of the Bank of Canada. Let's get Canada back on track financially - fire the Bank of Canada head man, the finance minister and PM Brian Mulroney. Almost everything would work better after that no matter who replaced them' Letter To The Editor Applaud Amendments The Ontario Humane Society and its tens of thousands of members and supporters applaud the amendments passed in the Legislature on June 28 to the Landlord and Tenants Act. The amendments will protect, from eviction, responsible pet owners with well-behaved pets which have caused no harm and are not dangerous. Applications for injunctions based on "%o -Pet" leases will be governed by the same criteria as applications for eviction. Courts will not be able to consider the presence of no -pet clauses. Sadly the amendments will not rectify the circumstances of those who have already relinquished a pet due to the threat of eviction, or those already evicted because they refused to give up their pet The amendments will affect all court hearings completed subsequent to Royal Assent. Tenants who have received eviction notices prior to Royal Assent will benefit from the amendments if an appeal is launched after the AM receives Royal Assent. The proposal to judge each case on its own merits is laudable. There are thousands of responsible pet owners who live in rental accommodation, and they should not be denied pet ownership just because they do not own that ac- commodation. Statistics prove that a large number of animals have been handed over to animal shelters as a direct result of a threat of eviction. The Ontario Humane Society, and many other organiza- tions have been campaigning for the removal of the no -pet clause in standard leases, a campaign which gained tremendous public support. The amendments are an excellent example of the democratic process in action, of which we can all be proud. Brvan F. Denham Executive Director Ontario Humane Society.

( Photo by Paul Norton) Hydro's Massive Debt Adds 5% To Increase Ontario Hvdro must raise electricity rates by 12.8 per cent for 1991 if it is going to deal with its troublesome debt level, fund urgently needed energy conservation pro- grams and begin repairs to its aging transmission system. This was the conclusion the Municipal Electric Association (M.E.A.) was forced to reach, and is one of about 100 final recom- mendations filed at the On- tario Energy Board by the M.E.A. on Jul. 9th. The group represents Ontario's municipal electric utilities. Evidence submitted dur- ing a four-week Ontario Energy Board hearing in- dicates Hydro's proposed rate increase of 7.8 per cent does not reflect a worsen - i ng economic outlook or adequately address the Crown corporation's unac- ceptable level of debt. Hydro's current debt is ap- proaching $35 billion. Evidence also showed hat Hydro's own rtralculations indicate that a 10.5 per cent rate in- crease will be required to cover the legal debt retire- ment obligation. The M.E.A. recommends that Hydro go one step further and address its debt to im- prove its financial sound- ness by implementing a 12.8 per cent rate increase. In its report, the M.E.A. also urges the utility to con- tinue pursuing energy effi- ciency programs that will help offset the predicted supply shortage of the '90s. The M.E.A. continues to be alarmed with Hydro's salaries, which are 12 per cent above the average of a comparison group of com- panies, which includes Spar Aerospace, IBM, Nor- thern Telecom, the Federal government, Imperial Oil, and Bell Canada. The association recommends that Ontario Hydro's salary budget be reduced by $10 million. The association's 800 -page report further recommends that Hydro develop a plan to provide reliable and adequate ser- vice in the event of a strike; exercise its option to cancel Elliot Lake uranium concentrate con- tracts in 1991 if flexible and competitive contracts can- not be secured; and pro- vide incentives to municipal utilities so that they can make electricity conservation programs available to customers. The Municipal Electric Association's member utilities purchase and distribute approximately 70 per cent of the power generated by Ontario Hydro and serve 2.5 million consumers.

Page 6 THE NEWSIPOST Wed. July 25, 1990 Bill Watt' IN PRINT: Here are� is (we really must master plural noun syntax someday) a brace of books by local writers that we have found en- joyable. The Last Flight of the Ar- row (Ballantine) is by Daniel Wyatt who lives in Burlington. It's a cracking good adventure yarn that supposes the Avro Arrow as not destroyed in 1958 but only made to look as if that were the case. Then an en- tire wing of them was assembled in the Arctic ready for retaliation against Russia which was planning to attack North America with its own fighter craft of quality and performance equal to that of the Arrow. None of the leading characters are named. of course, but it is fascinating to read dialogues between President Eisenhower and Prime Minister Diefen- baker.

Car.Vklby Pk.Awarae b Shook House s Worlds real life inspirations for the fictional characters. Jan Zurkowski, the test pilot of the Arrow is easy to spot but we're not too sure that a reporter is Peter Wor- thington. Mr. Wyatt writes with authority on matters perti- nent to flying and can be forgiven for a prose style just a tad short on discipline. What matters most is that he has put together a nice piece of adventure writing, a rather rare commodity these days. Barbara Hehner lives in Toronto and is the authoress of Let's Find Out About Cats ( Random House). It's actually in- tended for children but adults will enjoy it as well, particularly those who recognize cats as the supreme members of the animal kingdom. Readers will receive a primer on cat care and they will also enjoy all sorts of fascinating infor- mation about these wonderful beasts. Did you know that the an- cient Egyptian word for cat was "mau"? This was also the word for "seeing.. or "light". Because mau sounds so much like AroundandAbout Your Dining &Entertainment Guide "meow" some writers have suggested that mau was the word for cat first and later became the word for light. Why not? Cats light up one's life and Let's Find Out About Cats is an ex- cellent introduction to them for those who have not as yet had the pleasure. Flanagan's Version (Vin- tage Books) has nothing to do with Ireland. It is a col- lection of pieces by Dennis Flanagan who is the editor of Scientific Amercan Magazine. One suspects that some will dismiss them as mere pop science but such are without appreciation of Mr. Flanagan's skill in presen- ting complex considera- tions in a way that makes them comprehensible to the lay reader. For starters he states that what he writes are to be taken as positive and does waste the reader's time with proofs. One accepts that proofs have already been established and goes on from there. There is much to admire in Flanagan's Version, too much to detail in the space allotted to us but we must mention the author's ruminations on the Big Bang Theory. Assuming that it did occur, it is fascinating to read the mathematical calculations as to when it occurred. Great! Now what was there before the Big Bang' Spanish Gold ( Hogarth Press ) is about Ireland and is arguably the most popular of the stories by George A. Birmingham. That's the pen name of James Owen Hannay, a Protestant clergyman who lived in Ireland around the turn of the cenurry. As a Protestant Canon in Ireland, he must have needed a good sale of humour and it's evident in his tales of the Rev. Joseph John hieldoik the principal Character in Spanish Gold, first published in 1908.

Farrell and Good Behaviour, fust published in 1961 and now in its fifth impression, was her first book after an absence of some years. Aroon St. Charles is the daughter of a genteel poor Irish family whose life revolves around the pleasures of field and stream. She is big, ungain- ly and, like the rest of her family. not too bright. She is also completely unaware of just what a waste of womanhood she really is. Anyway, this is the story of her life from before the first world war to the pre- sent, a life totally devoid of any raison d'etre. That sounds like strong stuff and indeed, there is tragedy in Good Behaviour. There is also good humour and downright laughter here. Those who have Irish friends will know what we mean. Surely one remembers "Your Grandfather is now feeble minded and sends you his best wishes." What can one say about Robert Ludlum's The Bourne Ultimatum (Ran- dom House)?

In a recent column we were reviewing a book about child abuse. We wrote "Is it not sad, however, that such a book is necessary. "We did not write "It is not sad..." and we apologize for any who might have been offended by an unintentional misprint. Similarly, in commen- ting upon the role of government we wrote "it is a given" not, "it is given". Again our apologies.

This achievement is due to amendments made to the Occupation Health and Safety Act by Bill 208. The bill was passed by the legislature on June 19. The aim of the trill is to make Ontario's workplaces the safest and protect each of us against hazards on the job. In 1988, there were over 900,000 accidents in Ontario. Tragically, more than 300 people died of wort -related ac- cidents and illness. Seven million workdays were lost due to workplace injuries or sickness. Last year, Ontario paid out almost $1.8 billion in workers compensation payments. These statistics are unacceptable. In the final debate on the bill, the Hon. Gerry Phillips said, "No one should accept the human tragedy that lies behind each one of these numbers. No one should accept the human pain and suffering that these statistics represent." Bill 208 represents a major step towards reducing the risk of becoming ill or injured on the job. "We believe the best people to make sure the goal is reached are those in the workplace," said Mr. Phillips. With the aim of improving the partnership between the employer and employee, a new Workplace Health and Safe- ty Agency has been created It will be a province -wide body, ill also ting the the partnership for safetyh training. 'Ilse agency from employers and � P The agency will alsotation have a small business advisory committee to address the special needs of that community. Under the Agency, there are also nine Safety Associa- bons with equal representation of employers and employees- Bill 208 also builds upon the partnership by establishing Joint Health and Safety Committees in 30,000 more workplaces, and expanding the responsibilities of the 20,000 committees that already exist. Of these 50.000 Joint Health and Safety Committees, about 5,000 of them will be on coo - with Rene Soetens, M.P. The primary mandate of Canada's criminal justice system is the protection of the public. While that mandate remains constant, our ideas and attitudes about how to achieve that end have evolved frantically over the years. In direct response to these changing values, the federal government is proposing for consultation a wide range of reforms to improve sentencing, corrections and conditional release in Canada. These proposals are part of a consultation package called "Directions for Reform: Sentencing, Corections and Condi- tional Release". This comprehensive package forms the federal government's repsonse to two governmental reports which make numerous recommendations for refor- ming the criminal justice system. The government will hold a series of consultations in the [text several months on the proposals with provincial and territorial representatives, criminal justice professionals and other interested Canadians. This consultation package will address concerns raised over the last several years by proposing the most comprehensive series of reform measures for the criminal justice system ever. These measures are designed to bring more fairness, clarity and struction sites. These committees are made up of employer and employee representatives. Bill 206 was first introduced in the legislature in January 1989. It was passed in June 1990. During the time in bet- ween, the government consulted widely with the people of Ontario. An all -party committee of the Legislature travell- ed across the province to hold hearings. "Whilethere were issues on which everyone did not total- ly agree, there was widespread support for the puppies of the bill...Ontario's workplaces must and will be the safest in which to earn a living." Mr. Phillips said. "The best way to ensure they are is by employers and employees working together and sharing the responsibility for that safety. Bin Zoe provides prwbcal tools to help the workplace parties achieve the goal of increased occupa- tional health and safety. It is novo our job to make it work. Wed.

Among the proposals are three separate legislated statements of purpose and principles of sentencing, correc- tions and conditional release. The statements would clarify practices in law, make these practices more understan- dable to the public and ensure that the major components of the system function effectively together. A Sentencing and Parole Commission would be established to develop senten- cing guidelines and review parole policies. Also proposed is the establishment of sentencing procedures in the Criminal Code and the creation of a new Corrections Act to govern federal penitentiaries. Proposed changes to parole would establish longer minimum incarceration periods, including later parole eligibility dates, to be determined by the sentencing judge, for certain violent and serious drug offenders. The changes would also include streamlining the review process for low- risk. riot -violent offenders. Amendments to the Parole Act would explicitly make the risk of reoffending and public safety the paramount consideration in all conditional release decisions. The consultation package also emphasizes better public access to the criminal justice system, proposes measures aimed at improving the sharing of information on Menders and continued improvements in correctional programming for all offenders. These proposals address a number of long-standing con- cerns oo-earns and reflect the government's commitment to ongoing criminal justice reform. Furthermore. I believe that these changes go a long way in reaffirming public safety as the Paramount issue in designing our legal system.

Scarborough Sending Team To United Kingdom by Muriel Warden Scarborough Swim Club is sending a team to Britain to participate in the British Age -Group Championships taking place in Leeds Jul. 30th to Aug. 5th. The swimmers who have qualified for this event in- clude Liz Warden 12, Kem Ford 14, Bob Hayes 13, Heather Palmateer 17, Nick Bilyk 17, Curt Pun - chard 15, Jana Vordemberge 16, Casey Cheung 14, Brian Guerriero 16, Jeff Guest 18, Stephanie Wilkinson 14 and Heather Johnston 17. The team left Scar- borough Jul. 24th for a IS -day tour of Great Bri- tain. Landing in Glasgow, Scotland, they will travel by bus to Edinburgh for a two day stay and some swim practices at the University of Edinburgh. From there the bus will travel southeast to Scar- borough, England where an afternoon reception with the mayor is planned for these touring civic am- bassadors. The big meet in Leeds is the next stopover. The swimmers will be billetted with their counter- parts in the Bradford City Swim Club and will attend the championship meet for the next six days. The Scarborough squad is composed of all Ontario Provincial Senior and age - group qualifiers. Jeff is a Provincial Senior finalist and Kerri, Bob, Casey and Liz were Provincial finalists in their age -group events. Liz is the current 400 freestyle Provincial Cham- pion and she will swim that event in Leeds. Following the meet. the fun begins in London as the group has four days to sightsee and soak up some British culture. Attending the swimmers will be Head Coach Darin Muma, his assistant on this tour, Carol Tietze, Team Manager Horst Tietze and chaperones Lorraine and Brian Punchard and their daughter Tricia. The City of Scarborough as presented each team member with a gift pack of Olympic bid promotions, such as sweatshirts, T-shirts and pins all spor- ting the colourful "Toronto Olympics 1996" logo. The Scarbrough Swim Club has oWitted the team with lovely "Canada" jackets with the attractive club logo and club bathing caps with a distinct ..Canada" splashed across. These teens will be swim- ming for Scarborough and Canada in this interna- tional age -group competi- tion and spreading the word that Toronto wants to host the Olympic Games in 1996 and Scarborough has super pians for the Aquatic Centre. A send-off supper party was hosted by Mr. Kingsley Cheung. The swimmers were invited to Mr. Cheung's Palace Garden Restaurant in the civic cen- tre area last Monday even- ing and enjoyed some of their favourite Chinese dishes. This trip is an ex- citing climax to a very suc- cessful year for the Scar- borough Swim Club. Drowning Is Leading Cause Of Fatalities Recreation aquatic ac- cidents account for over 1,200 fatalities annually in Canada. This is more than the number of fatalities associated with air disasters, commercial shipping tragedies and rail disasters combined. Highest at risk are males - accounting for 85% of the total. In fact, in the 15-49 year old age group, nine out of ten drowning victims are male. One-third of drownings involve power boats, usual- ly small craft under 18 feet in length with flat or round- ed bottom and, tragically, more than 50% of all boating fatalities involve alcohol. Don't become a drowning statistic. Be water smart and listen to the Royal Life Saving Society Canada Water Smart ad -ice: I. Wear Your Lifejacket or PFD PFDs are now stylish, comfortable and practical, and are available for all ages and various aquatic activities. Your PFD is the best "life insurance" policy afloat. Remember, when boating, PFD's have to be Department of Transport approved in orange, yellow or red. 2. Learn To Swim There is no substitute for swimming skills. Learn now.

Annual Molson Indy Races by Jerry Hudson The 5th Anniversary Molson Indy races were held on the streets of Ex- hibition Place last weekend. And for STP, a product of First Brands Corporation which is active in the sponsorship of race - drivers, it was three wins out of four racing events' A record crowd of 64.245 on Sunday braved rainy conditions to see AI Unser. Jr. become the first repeat winner of the featured loci -lap sprint. But the rain was so bad that for the first time at this location CART officials called it a race after 94 laps. Unser's lead over 2nd place finisher Michael An- dretti's Lola. the only other driver on the same lap, was determined to be insur- mountable, and for safety reasons the race was end- ed. '.Michael and father Mano Andretti had led the race early on, but the No. 5 Valvoline Chevv Lola Galles-Kraco STP car of "little Al" took over about mid -race and earned $138,908 U.S. of the one million dollar purse. Coming in 3rd was Indy rookie and former Formula One star Eddie Cheever on yet another Lola. Cheever had been expected to do well on a wet track by rac- ing officionados. and he again proved his com- petence in the rain with his top -three finish. Unser, Jr. now leads the CART PPG Indy Series with 106 points over Michael Andretti's 104, sur- passing Penske Racing Team Rick Mears' 102. Mears had gone into this weekend with the points lead by virtue of his top finishes to day. The points -race is the closest in many years, and any one of seven drivers could win the champion- ship. Willow•dale's Scott Goodyear drove a careful race, finishing 9th on his No. 11 McKenzie Financial sponsored '89 Lola. Goodyear now has 18 series points and stands 14th overall. In American Racing Series action Scarborough's Paul Tracy soared to new heights with still another win on his No. 90 Sherwin Williams STP Landford Racing Buick -powered wildcat. The 21 -year old Tracy has now won 7 of the 8 ARS contests to date, missing the win at Detroit only because of a double-line restart which caused him to lose the lead and crash, something since discarded by the series' officials. up in the drink. Be water smart ... and Play safe in, on and near the water this stunmer. Above Paul Tracy's car. (Photo -Jerry Hudson) While following the pace - car during a full -course yellow, Tracy startled the crowd by nearly hitting the wall exiting turn S. but managed to recover the car and hold on for the win. Coming in 2nd was the No. 5 car of Ted Prappas' P.I.G. Racing. Prappas now is second to Tracy's 156 points in ARS with 92. The upset of the whole weekend happened in the Players Ltd. GM Motorsport Series when Cayuga, Ont.'s John Cad- man, Jr. won all the marbles driving his No. 71 Capital Tool and Design STP GM Camaro. This time, on Saturday's dry ( thankfully) track. Cadman held off perennial winner Richard Spenard to take the chequered flag. Spenard finished 2nd, with Mississauga's Rob Fellows in 3rd. The win was all the more wonderful for Cadman as he had gotten a letter from the series' organizers earlier in the week telling him that he had been penalized in a previous event which cost him more than $3000. $78.5 Million For Health Care The Ministry of Health has been allocated an extra $78.5 million this year to provide for a 5.5 percent in- crease in the basic provin- cial support for hospitals and other health agencies. Cancer treatment cen- tres, nursing homes, home care, public health units, community mental health programs and children's treatment centres are among the other health agencies which will receive the additional funding. "The increase demonstrates the govern- ment's commitment to maintain funding to health care institutions and agen- cies despite the recent cuts in federal transfer payments to the provinces," said Elinor Caplan, Minister of Health. He was thinking of withdrawing from racing for financial reasons. but his win at the CNE will allow him to continue. Finally, the Formula Atlantic race was taken by Freddy Rhmnrev of Pott- stown. Pa.

Lausanne - A by Bob Rice I can't really put my finger of it but, of the four Swiss cities Deirdre and I recently visited, Lausanne emerged as our favourite. This does not mean that the others offered less things to do and see, but there is something about Lausanne that has kept us longing to go back ever since. It could be the crowded streets on market days. Elbow to elbow we jostled with the locals to smell the freshly cut flowers and take in the aroma of fresh bread and rolls. Red tomatoes contrast with snow white cauliflower and seventeen species of mushroom are piled high in the wooden stalls. Since as far back as the Middle Ages the market vendors have sold their goods every Wednesday and Saturday in Lausanne. The narrow streets of old town are connected by steep stairways. Numerous bridges link the hilly land- scape while beneath the ci- ty run several rivers that once turned the water- wheels that provided power to run the mills in Lausanne's early days. Perhaps part of the allure is the walk along the waterfront. The proper name of the port is Ouchy and from here lake steamers can take- you across to Evian in France for an evening of dining and gambling. Also within easy reach of boat is Geneva to the southwest or Montreaux near the eastern end of the lake. The lake itself bears two names. Outsiders refer to it as Lake Geneva while the true Vaudois from the Lausanne area stili call it by its Ronnan name, Lake Leman. Another plus in favour of Lausanne is the nearby wine country. We stopped at the Fonjallaz Winery in Epesses and marvelled at the monster keg built in 1886. As dusk fell we sat on the patio of Patrick Fon- jallaz's chateau and sipped his private reserve wine as a SwissRail train snaked along the shoreline many hundreds of feet down the steep slopes blanketed by thousands of grape vines. The Swiss wines are among The new Hotel Conrad, located in London's new Chelsea Harbor project, may seem a bit pricey to some. The hotel has a business centre, indoor pool and a fitness and health centre. Rates in the 160 suites range from $395 to $1,450. per night' KLM Royal Dutch Airlines will be operating an extra flight this summer between Toronto and Amsterdam. The Boeing 747 nonstop will depart every Saturday evening between July 7th and September 29th. Amsterdam's Schipol is to be expanded. following the addition of one million square feet of space, the facility will be able to han- dle 24 million passengers a year. the finest in the world but. due to the scarcity of land to cultivate, the amount produced each year yields only about one-third of the country's annual consump- tion. As a result it is rare to find wines from Switzerland on liquor store shelves here in Canada. The many contrasts bet- ween old and new makes the Lausanne area stay in one's memory. At Vevey, situated right on the Lakeshore, is the world headquarters of the Nestle Company. The all -glass building appears to have been transplanted from the future to this quaint town yet, due to the mirrored ex- terior reflecting the nearby typically Swiss coun- tryside, it complements rather than intrudes on the surrounding landscape. There are many other things about Lausanne that contribute to an evening's conversation about the ci- ty. It is there that many of the world's top hoteliers learned their craft. The Hotel School of Lausanne is rated among the very best and graduates of the gruell- ing course can be found in every corner of the world. And then there is the Royal Savoy Hotel and Guiseppe Bazzani. The charm of the property and Mr. Bazzani's hospitality has left a personal imprint on our memories of Lausanne. While most Swiss hotels run efficiently and to standards that many in %orth America have trouble attaining, the Royal Savoy seems to transcend the normal.
