This isn't to suggest that the vast majority of people em- ployed b% government, be they elected officials, bureaucrats or others, are not hottest. But pub- lic pressures and political sakes too often motivate too many of them to shade the truth. Let's take the recent Meech Lake Accord and the federal government's proposed Goods and Services Tax as two exam- ples of this truth shading.

Butto tell Canadians that the tax is simple (when it is just the opposite), or that there will be consumer benefits once it is in place (which won't be the case at all). or that we will be one of 3X countries around the world with a similar tax (which is absolutely false) is not the stuff of which :rcdibility_ is made- Go%crnmcnt%get caught up in this type of truth shading Isccau%e of mam reasons, some of which we'll discuss in future :olumns.

TAYLOR Chairman and Chief Executhe OfTicer The Royal Bank of Canada All of us in Canada have a direct stake in good economic policy. and all of us hl a direct respmsibilit% for its for- mation hN our governments. While we all, therefore, de- sene some share of the credit for good economic policy, we must also take responsibility for policy that has calamitous results. No other description can he used for the con- sequences of Canada's debt and deficits. 1 believe we are in a danger zone of debt — and the fault does not lie with governments alone. We keep asking our governments to do more for us than then can afford — to spend more than the-. receive. We keep encouraging them to borrow. We keep letting them build a mountain of public debt. w c arc remaining in- different or silent. while this fiscal self-indulgence takes its toll on Canada's present economic performance and future economic potential. The governments of Canada w III have great rcluC- lance to change their until the people of Canada change their minds. Most Canadian, who have taken a loan or a mortgage know that there are many %aurid reason% for borrowing and a great man% real benefits. lndced, harrowing and lend- ing is the process h% which the nation',, savings are used to finance Canada's growth. The question is not whether debt can he useful The real issue is the %oiumc of new deht we are :rcatmg; it% persistent growth. and the uses to which that iT70tic% is put Total horrowing in Canada — by individuals, businesses and governments — has grown 30 per cent taster than the national income for the past 10 *cars. In the period from 1977 to 1987, the economy grew by 152 per cent, and private sec- tor debt by 165 per cent. Government debt at all levels -- federal, provincial. and municipal — grew by 255 per cent. The reason is deficit spend- ing. Tow many of us do not %rem to realize that whenever a government runs a deficit it is financed by borrowing. This means deficits are :added to the public debt — which just keeps getting bigger. To see this grim process in action. just look at Ottawa over the past four rears. In fiscal 1986 the federal deficit was $34.3 billion: in 1987 it was 530.6 billion. and in 1988 it was $28.1 billion. In 1981) it is expected to be around $29 billion. True, the numbers are generally going in the ng ht direction, but veru slowly. Worst of all, those four annual deficits alone add up to $12 billion of new debt — about a 70 per cent increase in our national debt, and in just four years. Each year, the interest pay- ments on the debt account tog' more than the entire federal deficit. We are borrowing jus toppaay the interest. we arc not reducing the principal. and Out is a serious debt problem by anyone'% definition.

Those imbalances %Imply do not make sense.

This grant will support the Art Gallery of Ontario's two multicultural initiatives. The provision of $25,000 is made for the "Audience Research Consortium". An additional $5,000 will fund "Staff Development and Cross-cultural Communications". Non -Utility Generation Quarterly Report Ontario Hvdro's Von -Utility Generation Division has reported that five private electricity generation projects, totalling 81 megawatts. were placed in service during the first quarter of 1990. In addition, five projects totalling 9 megawatts have been committed. To date, non-utility generating projects totalling 459 megawatts are in service or have been committed. STATFACTS are among the highest of the major industrial nations. The rates set for government hor- rowings affect everyone, to the point where we might as well call this a "deficit tax." All Canadians are paying higher interest rates on everything from business loans to mort- gages and Visa hills. because of excessive government debt. High real rates of interest crowd out and discourage productive borrowers and business investors. Lower bus- iness investment means lower real growth in Canada's economy — a drag on living standards. This burden is also passed on to future generations in the forof lower standards of st lining. W'e are prolonging a problem that will hurt the well-being of our children. as well as ourselves. 'ki'OTF,RS CARE: Who is to blame'' The quick answer is the federal and pro- vincial governments. But it is not as simple as that. The deci- sions that led to the debt and deficits represent a complex interplay of forces. If we want to change things we had better understand what those forces are and how they work. It is not that voters do not care. Voters do care about costs — when governments have the courage to discuss them. But what is each of us prepared to give up? Fox example, how impor- tant are environmental issues*' What would each of us as individuate sacrifice, or delay. or cut back on, to have new, effective environmental pro- grAmi' Would it be cultural subsidies.' Or day care? Or regional development grant%' Or business and investment incentive%" The cast' political solution has been to try to pay for in of these goxxl things. That has to change. Saying "no" to a new program docs not mean it is no good — lust that we cannot afford everything at one time. Saying "yes." means cutting somewhere ofsc. When we call for leadership from politicians we are asking them to make those hard _hoices. The temptation tic e•,, cmments to take the easy way out — to borrow more, increase the deficit, add to the public debt, satisfy everyone at least in part -- may be understandable. But it is no longer acceptable. This is not leadership. It is fiscal ir- responsibility and, ultimately, a beim al of provincial and national interests. START TAIXINC What do we do? We start by talking about it. We try to make fixing the debt and defi- cits an overriding priority — not just for politicians, but for voters. Talk to your neighbours. Talk to your friends. Write to your politicians The message is that deficits have to come down: unrestricted growth in the debt has to stop. Those who would interpret this as big business opposition to axial programs are dead wrong. We must continue looking after people who can't look after themselves or who need help to help themselves. The grotesque irony is that as long as we let government debt continue to grow, we re- duce our ability to pay for every axial program we have. We reduce our ability to fund the education of our children, assistance for the jobless, and the relief of human suffering and human need in our society. The real opponents of social programs are those who refuse realistic discussion of deficit reduction. Nobody needs lower deficits more than the disadvantaged. Canada m fortunate indeed that it is rich enough to afford the solutions to Its debt prob- lem. and smart enough to rec- ognize the urgent need for them. Our economic performance in recent )cars has been among the highest in the in- dustrialized world. Our failure on debt and deficits is all the greater in that we are letting today's extravagance cn- dan&cr tomorrow's prosperity. A a need to ask our pohucal leader% for resolute action — to start moving Canada out of the danger ,one of debt We also need to tell them they have our mpp>'rt for the diffi- cult choices that this will en- tail. 1 uhlic support leads to political wnli,just as certainly as deficits lead to debt Dawn Duet The saddened voice of Time trembled: "I sigh, I must depart I must hurry and make way for the urgent throbbing of another day... And Future flirting with the dawn was heard to sing on the wings of Morn. "1 am the bearer of joyous Fun, where you have lingered, I have begun See each dewdrop mirrors my happiness, each blade of grass takes my kiss and caress as a tonic against all sorrow.

August 1, 1990 Bill Watt's Worlds - IN PRINT: The Festival of ( film) Festivals will soon be upon us. We commend then, to attention Hype and Gory by William Goldman ( Villard Books) . Mr. Goldman is a well respected novelist and screenwriter. That's quite an accomplishment in itself incidentally. Most novelists fail miserably as screenwriters and few screenwriters can do better Chan dialogue and scene placement. Anyway, in 1968. William (Goldman was asked to be a judge at both the Cannes Film Festival and The Miss America Pageant. Go figure. This book is a re- counting of his sometimes hilarious experiences at both but we will address ourself here only to the Cannes Fest. Those who enjoy movies for their own sake will not likely enjoy Hype and Glory: it will not pleasure them to read the ways in which it is decided which motion pictures stand a chance of success, how they are hyped, the deals that are made and the ex- tent to which gratia amts is virtually ignored. More worldly viewers and readers will hugely en- joy. Well, at least they will enjoy enough to overlook Mr. Goldman's sometimes heatry and self conscious humour. As for us, we will remember his comments on page 87 abnout his own feelings on the performing arts. ..Once I got something out of damn near anything. Now. I see the artist palm- ing the card. and you know what' it's painful. It ac- tually hurts seeing a rotten pla, or movie. reading a rotten book." Now please see... ON SCREEN: The Unbelievable Truth (Miramax) was first seen at last year's Festival of Festivals and is now in general release a year later. We have a question about both events ... why? The Unbelievable Truth is unbelievable. Though doubtless well intentioned, it is rather like a home movie complete with amateurish performances. Indeed, the performances are so bad that they might well be intentional. If so, then blame must lie at the feet of Director Hal Hartley who also wrote and co-produced. Chaplin he ain't! The plot -the plot! - concerns a saturnine type named Josh (sic!) played by one Robert Burke, returning to his home town after time in the stammer for a double killing. He gets a job in a garage run by a babbitt with crass plaved by Christopher Cooke who gives the only decent performance of the film. The babbitt has an airhead daughter played by Adrienne Shelly, a Molly Ringw•ald type with thicker lips. She became a successful model -it is to laugh! -and she and the mechanic are getting ready to get it off at the film's conclusion when it has been realized that Josh is still a killer but not a murderer. And that's it. The film is mercifully short but at its conclusion we were weary, very weary. Weary like William Goldman. Weary of seeing amateurish card palming.

Much the same cast ap- pears and no mention need be made of it except to comment that young Kief- fer Sutherland just keeps getting better and better. He is better at this stage of his career than his father was. We find ourself concern- ed about the present state of society however after viewing Young Guns 11. In one scene, a man of the law is dressed like an Indian by the young punks-oops sorry. outlaws! -and pushed out a door into the street to be shot down by a hail of bullets. The audience laughed! The audience laughed at the spectacle of a man of the law being gun- ned down! One recognizes that there is evil in all of us and vicarious violence can be desirably purgative. That wasn't what we experienc- ed at the Varsity Cinema the other evening however. We were witness to yahoos obviously delighted at an unnecessary and cruel death and maybe wishing to be more than just passive observers. Frightening. ON RECORD: What happens to child prodigies as they grow up? On evidence recently to hand it would seem that they just keep getting bet- ter. Born in 1894. Mieczyslaw Horzowski at the age of five was playing J. S. Bach, transposing effortlessly and composing. In fact he had already composed two sonatas, several small pieces for piano and an en- tire orchestral composi- tion. His fame however was to be secured as a recitalist. Now we have received from Elektra Nonesuch with great gratitude an album ( ours is cassette but we believe CD is available) of the maestro hying Bach, Beethoven and Chopin. It was recorded in May of 1989 when he was 95. And, mirabile dictu! - it was recorded without a score. Mr. Horzowski's eyesight is now such that it cannot be relied upon to read music. So the gentleman plays by ear. How well does he play? One would have to follow with a score to make one's own determination but it seemed to us that his Bach is still impeccable. We say that while admitting that Bach is not among our favourites. We find his compositions too scholarly and lacking in warmth. The Bach performed here is the English Suite, No. 5 in E Minor. Chopin is represented by two Nocturnes, Op.9, no.2 and Op. 32, no.l. It's dif- ficult if not impossible to go wrong with either of these two familiar and beloved works so our opinion that they ae delightfully played should or could be dis- counted. The Beethoven however! If one does not feel the goose flesh rising while listening to Mieczyslaw Horzowski playing, in his 96th year, the Sonata No. 6, Op. 10, No.2 then that one has either a tin ear or no D ROBOCOP 2 starring Peter Weller as ROBOCOP. soul ful cartoon family will be symbol of hope for the It is simply magnificent appearing at 11 a.m., and 1, future. and this album could be a 3 and 5 p.m. doubtless to be In the spirit of hope spr- frtting cap to any career followed by parents trying inging eternal we have sug- but it would not surprise us to corral truculent gested that for this occa- if more were to come. children.

Scarborough Centre Report on Ontario's College System Released On July 20, 1990, a major report recommending changes and new directions for Ontario's 23 colleges of Applied Arts and Technology was released by Colleges and Universities Minister Sean Conway. Initiated by the Peterson government in October 1988, "Vision 2000: Quality and Opportunity" is written with a view to the year 2000 when a renewed and revitalized system of colleges will play a major role in meeting the growing demand for opportunities for career education. Among the 40 proposed initiatives, the report recom- mends: - the creation of a provincial body to: promote coordination between the school system and the college system easing students' transition from school to college; to improve and strengthen links between colleges and universities; and to encourage combined joint college -university studies; - re -orienting the curriculum of the colleges to include a greater emphasis on general education (e.g., world events and the environment) and general skills (e.g., math, learn- ing and thinking skills, basic technology literacy, etc.), that will assist students in their individual development and enhance their long-term employability; - that colleges encourage accessibility among under- represented groups by creating preparatory courses such as expanded English -as -a -second -language programs and special life -skills training programs, and by providing technical aids and services for people with disabilities; - that colleges become more accessible to adult learners by providing more flexible scheduling of both adult and part- time programming and by establishing a more equitable method of accrediting previous experience; and - the creation of a College Standards Accreditation Council to guide the setting of system -wide standards and the monitoring of regular program reviews. The Vision MW review is the culmination of a process in- volving representatives from colleges, the communities they serve, the private sector and other educators. "In this ear of lifelong learning," said Mr. Conway, "it is crucial that our colleges continue to provide flexible educa- tional and training programs not only for those students continuing their education, but also for those Ontanans who are returning to education to upgrade their skills and knowledge-" The report was initiated in October 1966 when the Peter- son government asked the Council of Regents, a policy and planning agency which reports to the Minister, to develop a vision of the college system in the year 2000. 'Mm analysis of the role of community colleges in On- tario will heap ensure colleges continue to play a vital rale in meeting the educational and training needs of communities throughout Ontario," said Mr. Conway.

Golf Not As Safe A Sport As You Thought Goff. Now there's a nice safe activity, right? Wrong. According to Markham chiropractor Dr. George I. Traitses, although golf is not a rigorous sport, it certainly has its share of injuries. "It is not uncommon for chiropractors to see several recreational golfers per month com- plaining of low back pain throughout the season." he says. "In fact, studies sug- gest that it is the site of the greatest number of injuries among amateur players... But it is not only back pain that golfers are sub- ject to. many joint and ten- don disorders also occur. These range from minor strains, to serious pro- blems like ruptured discs. Dr. Traitses cites research which indicates that elbow injuries rank second among amateur golfers, followed by problems of the hands, wrists, shoulders and knees. Contaminated Soil Found Near McLevin Ave. Soil contaminated with radium -impregnated plastic tubing was found this spring near McLevin Ave- between Neilson and Tapscott Roads. Since May 24, the Low -Level Radioac- tive Waste Management Office (LLRWMO), acting on behalf of the owners of the affected property, has operated an Information Centre in the Malvern Town Centre. One function of the Information Centre was to provide a means to discuss alternatives for remedial work with members of the communi- ty. These discussions have shown support for one of the alternative proposed, and starting very shortly, work will begin to remove the contaminated tubing from the soil. The con- taminated tubing will be taken to an approved forage building, aiintain- ed by the O for storage of such materials, at the Chalk River Nuclear Laboratories of Atomic Energy of Canada limited. This work will be carried out inside a temporary building to be erected on the site within the next week to ten days. Follow- ing removal of the tubing. it is likely that some of the soil will continue to exhibit concentrations of radium marginally above natural soils in the area. This soil will be stored on site, on an interim basis, until a permanent disposal site is available for this type of materials. It will be contained such that there will be no public exposure to either direct radiation or radon gas from the soil. Canadian Red Cross Society Receives Grant Solicitor General Steven Offer recently announced a $40,000 grant to the Ontario Nvision of the Canadian Red Cross to enable it to meet its emergency ser- vices objectives. Red Cross Emergency Services is administered by the Emergency Services Committee which com- prises Red Cross staff, volunteers and represen- tatives from provincial ministries, including Emergency Planning On- tario of the Ministry of the Solicitor General. The committee oversees volunteer training for registration, inquiry, evacuee centre manage- ment, and other emergen- cy support services. "The Red (Toss is well renowned for its leadership in providing emergency services," said Solicitor General Steven Offer. "This grant will enable the Ontario Division to further enhance its ability to res- pond to any emergency, thereby ensuring the con- tinued safety and security of our communities." Amazingly, he says, studies have ranked golf ahead of other more vigorous sports in frequen- cy of head injuries. These occur from flying golf balls, and thrown clubs. Injuries can sometimes occur when a golfer tries to overcome poor technique with brute force, warns Dr. Traitses. "This puts excess stress on muscles, tendons. ligaments and joints, leading to strains, sprains. and other disorders. '-Spen- ding some time with a golf pro." he says sometimes can quickly remedy this source of trouble. 'Com- bine this with conditioning exercises to improve flex- ibility and strength and you can go a long way toward the prevention of injuries... he says. "Make no mistake about it, although golfing is not a str--nous activity, it is a workout, and it does lead to many annoying and sometimes serious in- juries," says Dr. Traitses. "Although it may seem laughable, golfers must make sure that they are fit to play the game "iris final advice: "Take the time to learn and perform strengthening exercises, and to learn good form. Pre -game stretching and warm-up are also helpful in preventing many golfing injuries." These belath views are published by members of the Ontario Chiropractic Association in the interest of better public health. Dr. George I. Traitses is a Doc- tor of Chiropractic practis- ing in a beautiful victorian syle clinic in Market Village in Markham. For further details con- tact Dr. George I. Traitses, D.C_ at 14161 9404=.

Work Begins On Murals } The official commence- ment of the first of a series of murals to be painted in the City of Scarborough took place on Jul. 27th at the site near Kingston Rd. and Midland Ave. The mural is part of Mural Routes, a series of murals throughout Scar- borough depicting various themes of life in the city. The project has been undertaken by the Scar- borough Arts Council in conjunction with the City of Scarborough. The first mural will be painted on the wall of a con- venience arvenience star adjacent to the Canada Post Building. Artist John Hood has com- pleted ornpleted p ehminary sket- ches and will now begin worming on site. The Scarborough Arts Cousicil has planned for four mural routes ( Heritage Trail, Nature 'nail. Rural Route and Transit Trail) to crisscross the city. The organization is hoping to have up to ten murals in place next sum- mer and eventually up to 50 along the fora- trails. perience. So here are a few tips for parking and locking that might save yur bike from loss or damage: • Get a good lock - U locks are the best and you can even reinforce them with a piece of plumbers • Lockeup in a secure, well - lit area (preferably, your employer or a nearby BTWW sup- porter will provide secure parking facilities free or at a reduced rate. For example, since 12 bikes can fit in one parking spot. a local parking lot could charge a dollar a day to each cyclist and still bring in $12). • Try and get the lock through as many parts of your bike as possible, and if you can, detach your front wheel and br- ing it in to the office with you. Many thieves will settle for parts if they can't get the whole thing, so it's best to pro- tect rotect all parts. • If there's no supervised parking lock up in a bray area so that any potential thief would have to be incr+eckbly subtle to jiggle a lock open before the eyes of the maddening crowd. • Lock it to a rack or park- ing meter, not to a young tree, low sign, or wheelchair ramp rail- ing.

Work Begins On Murals } The official commence- ment of the first of a series of murals to be painted in the City of Scarborough took place on Jul. 27th at the site near Kingston Rd. and Midland Ave. The mural is part of Mural Routes, a series of murals throughout Scar- borough depicting various themes of life in the city. The project has been undertaken by the Scar- borough Arts Council in conjunction with the City of Scarborough. The first mural will be painted on the wall of a con- venience arvenience star adjacent to the Canada Post Building. Artist John Hood has com- pleted ornpleted p ehminary sket- ches and will now begin worming on site. The Scarborough Arts Cousicil has planned for four mural routes ( Heritage Trail, Nature 'nail. Rural Route and Transit Trail) to crisscross the city. The organization is hoping to have up to ten murals in place next sum- mer and eventually up to 50 along the fora- trails. perience. So here are a few tips for parking and locking that might save yur bike from loss or damage: • Get a good lock - U locks are the best and you can even reinforce them with a piece of plumbers • Lockeup in a secure, well - lit area (preferably, your employer or a nearby BTWW sup- porter will provide secure parking facilities free or at a reduced rate. For example, since 12 bikes can fit in one parking spot. a local parking lot could charge a dollar a day to each cyclist and still bring in $12). • Try and get the lock through as many parts of your bike as possible, and if you can, detach your front wheel and br- ing it in to the office with you. Many thieves will settle for parts if they can't get the whole thing, so it's best to pro- tect rotect all parts. • If there's no supervised parking lock up in a bray area so that any potential thief would have to be incr+eckbly subtle to jiggle a lock open before the eyes of the maddening crowd. • Lock it to a rack or park- ing meter, not to a young tree, low sign, or wheelchair ramp rail- ing.

Before the opening of Walt Disney World in 1971, Kissimmee -St. Cloud was famous for its cattle in- dustry and the beautiful Lake Tohopekaliga, pro- nounced Ta-hope-e-ka-liga, running through its midst. Osceola County evolved from a land of Indian tribes, sugar mills and cat- tle ranches. The name "Osceola" is from the name of the Seminole In- dian chief whose tribes in- habited the lands around Lake Tohopekaliga in the mid -1800's. One account of Osceola's life claims that the name means "Rising Sun". in the Indian tradition of naming a child for the first thing his mother sees when the child is born. Lake Tohopekaliga ( Lake Toho, for short) means "fort site", and was the site of some of the fiercest of the Indian wars. Kissimmee was settled for the first time in 1878. Major J. H. Allen was one of Kissimmee's pioneers, and the trading post was originally called Allendale. In 1883, Kissimmee of- ficially became a town, built on land acquired for S.25 an acre by Hamilton Disston, a Philadelphia businessman. The land was part of 4 million acres Disston purchased. The name "Kissimmee" is the Caloosa Indian word for ..Heaven's Place". Within a year of incor- poration, Kissimmee built a railroad which connected the town with the St. John's River, as part of the Attanr tic Coast line Railway. The railroad ran through the center of town, right down the middle of Broad- way, which was covered with Bermuda grass and edged with boardwalks. The grass was maintained by the cattle that were allowed to wander free in the city. Lake Tohopekaliga also served as a transportation lifeline for the county in its early days when steam - powered stern -wheelers carried supplies to families in remote areas and brought their produce to market. Lake Tohopekaliga, as part of the Kissimmee Chain of Lakes, leads into Lake Cypress, Lake Marion, Lake Kissimmee and final- ly into Lake Okeechobee. As early as 1881, the area had sparked interest as a tourist destination. One of the first hotels in the area, the Tropical Hotel, was considered one of the finest hotels south of Jackson- ville. Overlooking the shores of Lake Tohopekaliga it had 80 rooms, and was three and a half stories high. Famous guests included President Chester A. Arthur and Let's Kill The 7% Federal GST multimillionaire, John Jacob Astor. Osceola County was of- ficially formed in 1887, with a population of 815. It con- sisted of 916,840 acres. The Osceola County Courthouse was constructed in 1889, at a cost of $23,000. The oldest courthouse in the state, it is still in use today, and is a National Historic Building. A reverter clause in the contract of the sale of the land the courthouse is built on specifies that if the land is used for anything other than the site of the county courthouse, the land must be returned to the heirs of the grantee of the sale, the Stewart family. In 1912, the State Chamber of Commerce, now headquartered in Jacksonville, was organiz- ed in Kissimmee. Kissim- mee's major products at that time were cattle, strawberries, pineapples, celery, eggplant and let- tuce. There were also two cigar manufacturing com- panies in town. The popula- tion of Kissimmee was 2,157. The land where St. Cloud now lies was purchased in 19M by Raymond Moore, a New York real estate in- vestor. It became a town in 1911, with 11 houses and a population of about 500, most of whom lived in tents. Although originally developed as a winter haven for disabled Civic War veterans, St. Cloud quickly became a centre for the sugar cane industry and was the site of the state's fust modern sugar mill. Osceola County, with its many resorts and family- oriented accommodations and entertainment, at- tracts millions of visitors every year. Yet, in spite of its progress, the Kissimmee -St. Cloud Resort Area hasn't lost any of its small-town hospitali- ty and charm. There are still acres of cattle pastures, miles of peaceful lakes and rivers, and quiet parks where Florida birds and wildlife abound. Still visitors are only minutes away from the world's favourite tourist at- tractions. The Kissimmee - St. Cloud Resort Area . . over 100 years of Florida history centered in an area destined to be one of the most popular vacation areas of all time.

This Space Could Be Yours For $12 PER WEEK Lisbon -Centre Of The World by Bob Rice To truly appreciate Lisbon you must view it from St. George's Castle for this is regarded as the true cradle of this magnifi- cent city. Lisbon, or more properly Lisboa, is more than just the capital of Por- tugal. At one time in its il- lustrious history, during the 15th and 16th centuries, it was considered to be the centre of the world. Por- tuguese caravels set sail from nearby Belem to ex- plore unknown parts of the world and names such as Magellan and Vasco de Gama have been repeated by every history student down through the ages. The Castle itself has played an important part in Lisbon's history since it was captured by the first King of Portugal in 1147. For almost four hundred years it served as the royal residence and many a well- known Portuguese navigator was given a hero's welcome within its stone walls. In the 16th cen- tury it was used as a prison when Spain occupied the ci- ty. It then saw use as a military barracks follow- ing the invasion by Napoleon's troops. Today the massive struc- ture is enjoying new life as the city's major tourist at- traction complete with a first-class restaurant, historic walkways and panoramic views. From the main cour- tyard you look out across the city. Immediately beneath the Castle is the old town of Alfama. Be sure to bring comfortable walk- ing shoes to allow you to ex- plore this unique part of Lisbon. Narrow streets wind down towards the Tagus River, the city's um- bilical cord to the rest of the world. A community unto itself. Atfama is a liv- ing history with cobble stones, colorful tiles, small restaurants tucked away into various nooks and crannies, overhead balconies that almost touch each other across the streets and the remains of the original walls built by the Moors in the dawn of Lisbon's life. To the west is the city proper. Red tile roofs con- trast with dazzling white on the building. Lisbon con- sists of a series of hills, all dotted with colorful buildings or broad ex- panses of parkland. The streets are either very wide or very narrow, there doesn't seem to be an in- between. The widest are the Avenida da Liberdade and Avenida da Republica. Both feature flowered me- dian areas and impressive monuments at either end. To walk the narrow streets means sharing the road space with numerous vehicles and you are wise to make use of the door- ways along the route as your safest islands. Parks are situated throughout the city and my particular favourite was the Jardim Botanico located a short walk from the Hotel Altis where I was staying. The largest green space is Parque de Mon- santo to which you should devote an entire half-day to see properly. Although the city has a subway system, visitors should make use of the trams anmd taxis to go sightseeing. Museums and antique shops are located everywhere and the Belem area features many historical buildings as well as the Monument to the Discoveries. In the evening you should visit at least one club featuring the haunting Fado music and sip some true Madeira wine. You should also try the grilled sardines when they are featured on the menus but, as I found, almost anything cooked Portuguese -style will do. Lisbon, to its inhabitants, and many who visit her, is still the centre of the world. Wed.

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 eoncem, the Block Parent sign can act as a deterrent to potential of- fenders who can quickly conclude that the neighbourbood 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.

Queen's Park Report from Norah Stoner MPP Durham Wast Parks play an important role in our lives as citizens of Ontario: they help preserve our natural heritage; they of- fer us a place to relax, and they provide an opportunity for us to partake in a variety of activities from swimming to Our urban parks are especially vital. Often these parks Sim the only natural areas available to city dwellers, and they help to maintain a certain quality of life for those in- dividuals exposed only to urban parks. However, green, open spaces within our urban areas are under increasing pressure from development. This increasingpressure is the reason that the Govern- ment of Ontario decided this past spring to protect the Rouge River Valley. We are doing it for the benefit of today's citizens and, for tomorrow's citizens - our children. The Rouge Valley is the most ambitious urban park pro- ject in Canada's history. Planning the management of its unique natural, historic and recreational features is an im- portant and challenging task. In March, at the announcement of the designation of the Rouge as a Provincial Park, the Minister of Natural Resources, the Honourable Lyn McLeod announced that an advisory committee would be appointed to determine the type of park that should be established. On June 26, the Honourable Gerry Phillips, Minister of Labour, announced the members and chair of the newly formed committee. Mr. Jim French, a recently retired senior vice-president of a large imu ance company, has been chosen to chair the Rouge Valley Park Advisory Committee. Mr. French has also served as a trustee on the Scarborough Board of Education, and has been a past chair for four years. He was also the founding president of the Canadian Wildlife Socie- ty. Time committee members represent 14 government and non-goverrmmet agencies and interest groups. These include representatives from the Union of Ontario Indians, the Coalition of Scarborough Com murnty Associations, the Federation of Ontario Naturalists, the Save the Rouge Valley System, Inc., the Metropolitan Toronto and mon Conservation Authority (MT'RCA), the Coalition for Picker- ing (Katherine Murray will represent the Town of Picker- ing), the Architectural Conservancy of Ontario, the Ontario Archaeological Society, the Metropolitan Toronto Zoo, and political interest representatives from the Ministry of rural Resources. Metropolitan Toronto, the City of Scar- bormigh. and the Town of Markham. In addition, the Government of Canada has been invited to nominate a rep tive. rZ committee's purpose is to erasure that there are numerous opportum hes for groups and individuals with an interest in the area to get involved sin the planning process. The committee will recommend within one year a corn- pcehemve management pian for the 4,300 -acre area of the park. The plan will deal with most of the Range Valley lands between Steeles Avenue and Lake Ontario. Tile recommendations are to include what type of park should be established, which agency or combination of agencies should manage the area, and what private lands should be acquirers The committee will submit its rccommmendatiaas to the Minister of Natural Resources. The m late June.ttee's first unerring is expected to take place Time content of the park pian will cover, at a minimum-, the following topics: goals and objectives; land acquisition; zoning; management policies (including management of flora, fauna, water, fisheries, landforms, historical resources, etc.) ; operations policies ( including informa- tion, interpretation, recreation, research, marketing, visitor services, public safety, etc.); proposed development and implementation strategy. It is anticipated that formal opportunities for public con- sultation will occur at four stages in the planning process: background information; planning principles and options; draft plan and recommended pian A wide range of com- munication and consultation techniques will probably be used, such as newsletters, questionnaires, displays, workshops, open houses and public meetings. In addition, meetings of the advisory committee will normally be open for anyone to attend as an observer. Durham Bd.
