August R, 1990 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Please Pay Attention by Bob Watson Well cars are not selling as well as they were and new houses dare almost at a standstill in Metro Toronto but ... our dear Prime Minister Brian Mulroney still insists that we are not in a recession and everything will be alright ! Once again we strongly recommend that the PC caucus at Ottawa tell the PM that he is out and is replaced by whomever the caucus believes will act sensibly on behalf of the people of Canada. Is this not possible? And we presume we are supposed to shout happily when our illustrious Bank of Canada head lowered the bank rate do,^m to the amazing low of 13.42% this week! Whoopee' Just think in the year 2000 the rate at this speed of alteration could get to that old fashioned 6 per cent! It is the high interest rate which is triggering recession in our economy and thousands of small businesses - as well as big businesses - will go broke causing financial chaos to everyone.

There is adequate mechanism now to recognize outstan- ding service e.g. the Esther Shiner Stadium for a most deserving, dedicated, and contributing deceased North York Councillor, as well as the Mel Lastman Square at North York City Hall as a ust and fitting reward for outstanding leadership by a po�itician, commemorated dur ing his lifetime.

( Photo by David Wong) Letter To The Editor The RCMP Uniform Dear Sir Madam: Tire largest petition ever presented in Canada (over 210,000 signatures) was ignored by the government. A route has now been chosen of challenging their action in the Federal Court of Canada. A solicitor. Mr. R Vincent Westwick of Ottawa has been retained, and he will act on behalf of the Lethbridge Divi- sion of R C. M. P. Veterans' Association to challenge the constitutionality of the government's dt--^inion to allow religious symbols to be worn as part of the RC.M.P. uniform. The government has removed religion from publicly funded institutions as religious symbols are offensive to some people. To make an exception does not show tolerance. but rather, it displays favouritism of one religion over others and is, therefore, a violation of our democratic rights. It is not the opponents of turbans who are the discriminators; it is the well-meaning but misguided pro- ponents. We will assist the Lethbridge R. C. M. P. Veterans with soliciting funds. The financial support of all concerned Canadians will make it possible to continue with the court challenge. Sincerely G. Kantelberg Calgary. Alberta "Defenders of RC.M.P. Tradition' Here and There Preserve The Majesty Of Temagami For three weeks in August the Temagami Wilderness Fund and the Temagami Wilderness Society will turn the world's largest old-growth red and white pine stand - the en- dangered Temagami area - into the world's most spec- tacular studio. Fifty artists from across North America have been selected for the Temagami "Art for Preserva- tion" project. The artists, including such well known figures as Robert Bateman, Robert Murray, Toni Onley and Franklin Ar- buckle, will create a body of work that will be used to raise awareness for the preservation of the Temagami wilderness. They will be working from a "Group of Seven style" wilderness base -camp on Obabaka Lake, which is connected by trail to the heart of the forest. Artists have been visting Temagami for many years for inspiration. Now they are working to protect Temagami, which is in danger of being logged. Mainstream Canada Honesty is still the best policy By Tern O'Shaughnessv Of the thousands of policies that government as a whole must come to grips with, the most important, and yet at times the most difficult one they have dealing with is the policy of honesty. This isn't to suggest that the east majority of people em- ployed by government, be they elected officials, bureaucrats or others, are not honest. But pub- lic pressures and political stakes 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. It wasn't so much what the political leaders of the federal and provincial governments said about their meetings on the Meech Lake Accord which caused so much confusion and distrust in the country, it is what they didn't say. For three years both the general public and the media were left to guessing just what the stresses and strains were between the various premien and the Prime Minister. It's true that the various positions became clearer over time. But right up to the last gasp of the Accord the nation had to guess at what was really going on. The public heard stories of arm - twisting by federal cabinet ministers, gloom and doors warnings about the tconomic consequences should %leech not pass, and had to real he- twcen the lines of curt public corrimentary which moreotten than not sounded rehearsed and scripted by puhh,: relations people. As a result, much of the true happenings never emerged and the public became increasingly more skeptical and cynical of the process and the major poet- ical players. The GST on the other hand has been a more blatant exam- ple of truth shading. The fed- eral government has continually boasted of the positive effects the GST will have on all Cana- dians and not dealt in any way with the major flaws inherent in the tax. This certainly isn't to say that people would have loved the GST, but they may have at least had a better under- standing of the government's purpose for bringing it in. But to 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 48 countries around the world with a similar tax (which is absolutely false) is not the stuff of which credibility is made. Governments get caught up in this type of truth shading because of [many reasons, some of which we'll discuss in future columns. But it has always been difficult for a government to deliver bad news, and often the whole truth is not good mews Governments are as afraid of bad news as a mouse fears a cat. The.} expect to be eaten alive in the opinion polls and then digested at the ballot bot. We ,uggest, howcser, that govern- ment overall would be tar wiser to lo-cl more often with the pub- lic. Tho might he pleasantly ,urpri,cd to ,e -e that people are, hN and large, %cry fair-minded and appreciate the honest approach. A ho know,, it might start a ,,hole new trend.

Page 6 THE NEWS! POST Wed. August 8, 1980 Bill Watt's Worlds ON YOUR TOES: Given the time of year it seems not out of place to re- mind that it was a Dr. Boteler who said of strawberries, "Doubtless God could have made a bet- ter berry but doubtless God never did." Continuing with the time of year, we think it not amiss to suggest that there could be a greater pleasure than watching the National Ballet of Canada perform- ing al fresco but one is pressed to suggest it. Yes, it is that time of year again, high summer when the National makes its annual appearance - weather and climate per- mitting - at The Forum in Ontario Place. This year's engagement runs from Aug. 9th through the lith with performances at 3 p.m. on Friday and Saturday and 8:30 p.m. all evenings. Works to be featured are the company premiere of Robert North's Troy Game, pas de deux from Swan Lake ( the White Swan) and Don Quixote and Dream Dances. We suggest early arrival as these presentations are enormously and deserved- ly popular. For an evening perfor- mance we recommend an early dinner at The Trillium and leisurely stroll to The Forum for an evening of enchantment. ON YOUR TOES II: The Royal Ballet is scheduled to perform. at Roy Thomson Hall, Sat. Aug. 22nd through the 25th. Among the short works to be presented are Elite Syn-. copations. Monotones i and 11 and selections from Swan Lake. Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty. One confesses some in- ner reservations about the suitability of R.T.H. for Ballet but we have none about the ability of the company. Regardless of the setting, it should be a grand evening of terp- sichore. AT THE O'KEEFE: Our S.B.M. (Show Business Mole) tells us that the local theatre scene, with a few exceptions, is in the doldrums. This is sup- posed to be caused by the long running mega hits cur- rently gracing two of the now quintet of major theatres. Well, that might be so but it seems to us that the theatre responsible for Toronto's latter day emergence as an interna- tional theatre city of conse- quence is doing all right for itself and for the theatre patrons of the city. We refer, of course. to The O'Keefe, a theatre for which we have long held a Proprietorial interest. We offer as evidence the recent engagement of Starlight Express, the An- drew Lloyd Webber esoteric musical based on a competition between trains, steam, diesel and electric. Cynics might refer to it as John Henry in Rock and they might be right. But, the patrons who flocked to the theatre to see it during its too short run can bear witness to the shrewd programming of the Front Street theatre. On tap this week is another Webber musical. This time it is one of Mr. Webber's earlier works. Jests Christ Superstar.

Following Jesus Christ Superstar is the renowned Topol in a 25th anniversary edition of Fiddler on the Roof. We have frankly lost track of the number of times we have seen Fiddler (we still have fond memories of CITY nr's Shirley Solomon appearing in it at The Limelight) but, equally frankly, we don't care. Fiddler is one of those musicals one can see over and over again and still en- joy, rather much in the manner of Gilbert and Sullivan. We were privileged to meet recently with Topol, the star of the current pro- duction, and also of the mo- tion picture version, and found him to be a delightful man, a man who will always give his best to every performance. We love Fiddler, admire Topol and look forward to this current production opening on Aug. 14th. Toronto theatre in the doldrums? You can't prove it by The O'Kefe! ON T.%'.: the Olympic ideal died with Avery Brundage. The last spike in its coffin was the decision to include baseball in the future Olympics. We love baseball, particularly the National League kind. but cannot possibly determine how it comes close to the ideal of the original Olym- pics. that is to say, the in- dividual accomplishment of excellent running, jump- ing umping and throwing...of weapons. Come to that, all team sports should be eschewed as being not in the Olympic ideal. Why are we going on about it? Well, we intend to continue watching the 23rd World Baseball Champion- ship Highlights on Channel 11. The program began last Saturday and will continue through Aug. 19th. This year's event, held in Edmonton, will be the last world championship before baseball becomes an of- ficial medal sport in the 1992 Olympics in Spain. Wyinell Edmonton should have scored for the competition escapes us but we intend to watch it because we shoorasell don't intend to watch baseball as an Olympic sport. Can't you just imagine a commercial for Red Indian cut plug from Spain. Holy Fri joie! PEOPLE WATCHING: Fans of Super Dave (and we don't mean the Ontario Premier'.) will be pleased to know that the new season's tapings begin Aug. 27th at The Markham Theatre and will run through until Sept. 17th. Those who would like to be a part of the audience dur- ing tapings are invited to call Global T.V. at 4447766 for ticket information. Among the guests you can expect to see will be Ray Charles, Randy Travis. Clarence Clemons, The Smothers Brothers, Glen Campbell, Laura Branigan, En Vogue and Tevin Campbell. You will not see us there; we have not been invited to tap dance. We have this feeling we ain't never going to be in- vited to tap dance BACKGROUNDER: The late Gertrude Lawrence had many stage triumphs (she was the original Anna in The King and I) but she is most fond- ly remembered by theatre lovers for her role in the Kurt Weill musical Lady in the Dark. Only two songs are now usually recalled from it: the haunting My Shep Has Sails and the raunchy Poor Jenny. There was, however, another song that deserves to be remembered but is not and. as Paul Harvey might say, you're about to hear the rest of the story. The other song was an amusing trifle titled Rub Your Lamp. On opening night of the out of town premiere the young come- dian who sang it almost brought down the house with his antic singing and dancing. A worried stage manager, at its conclusion, hurried to the show's pro- ducer roducer and allowed as how the number had to be taken but of the stow: Miss Lawrence would not stand for having the show taken out from under her. The story goes that Ger- tie heard the comment. gritted her teeth and said merely "Oh?" Then, she went on stage and proceeded to entrance the audience as she sang. danced, bumped and ground her way through Poor Jenny. Rub Your Lamp stayed in the show but it w•as eclipsed by Poor Jenny and is rarely, if ever, heard any more. Oh yes. the young corne- dian's name was Danny Kaye. So. what's the point of the foregoing? Probably very little unless you accept our recommendation to see Me and My Girl at The Limelight Dinner Theatre co-starring Barbara Hamilton. The key word here is co starring. Truth to tell, Miss Hamilton has a relatively small, though pivotal role in this bright and breezy musical. Yet, every time she appears on stage, the stage becomes hers. One risks overstatement perhaps in comparing Bar- bara Hamilton to Gertrude Lawrence but her effect upon an audience is just the same. See Me and My Girl and see if we're not right. Even if we're not, you'll still en- joy a fine show. ON RECORD: George Shearing in Dix- ieland (Concord Jazz) isn't really Dixieland, it's too structured but don't quib- ble. Just settle down and enjoy some laid back, easy - albeit quasi - Dixie played by a master musician and some all star side men. Mr. Shearing stays within the confines of Dixie by playing only figures rather than melody but he also contributes great rhythm piano without ever descending into gut bucket or, heaven forfend, mouldy fig. For gut bucket, listen for George Masso on trombone and for a real surprise cock an ear to old smoothie War- ren Vach6 playing cornet rather than C mute trumpet. Best cuts? Take your New Home For Blaisdale Recently eight Blaisdale students and an assorted crowd watched as a por- table was lifted two feet over the trees from Laurier Collegiate parking lot to its new home at Holy Trinity Church in Guildwood Village. Interested observers gathered at 10 a.m. but the project wasn't completed until 7 p.m.! Consisting of three units, the portable will be a classroom for about 20 children ages six to nine. "The average classroom is 750 square feet,.. says Eleanor Wilson, Principal of Blaisdale Montessori School. "But in a Montessori class there is a lot more educational material and the children have more freedom of movement so we wanted a classroom about 1,000 square feet." The church hall, where the children were haled last year. still has a class of younger children ages two and one half to six. Blaisdale Montessori School, where each child is taught individually, at his own pace has been in Scar- borough since 1969. As well as their location at Holy Trinity in Guildwood Village, there is a location at St. John the Divine Church, on Scar- borough Golf Club Rd. This September they are opening a new location at St. '.Nark's United Church on Orton Park Rd. They also have a location in Ajax and Pickering. The Montessori philosophy was begun by Dr. Maria Montessori, the first female doctor in Italy and a candidate for the Nobel Prize in the 1.900's. There are over 5,000 Montessori schools in the United States and about 100 in Canada. Montessori devised over 1400 educa- tional materials to educate children in a "prepared en- vironment".

If you have never heard Desafinado before - highly unlikely - you might think it had been written as a Dixieland piece thanks to Mr. Shearing's approach. Lullaby of Birdland also sounds as though it had never been intended as anything other than easy tailgate. For us, the real surprise and pleasure is Take Five, the Paul Desmond favourite popularized by Dave Brubeck. It's played in Mr. Desmond's original 514 metre and listening to it, one wonders why jazz men never played in anything but 4;4 until so late in the day. Make no mistake though; George Shearing in Dix- ieland is more, con- siderably more than simp ly a curiosity piece. It's a genuine work of Dixieland art.

"The technologies that have been developed offer tremendous potential — potential for good and poten- tial for harm." said Dr. Baird. "It is important that we all participate in the MAND NTE (as announced by the federal government October 25. 19891 Thr Royal Commission on New Reproductive Tech- nologies w ill he established under Part I of the Inquiries Act and will inquire into and report on current and potential medical and scientific developments related to new repr(xtuc- tive technologies, considering in particular their social, ethical. health, research. legal and crnn.wnic implications and the public interest. recommending what policies and safeguards should be applied. The Commission will examine in particular: a) implications of new reproductive technologies for women's rcpr(xtwiyc health and well-being. h) the causes, treatment and prcyentitxt of male and female infertility: c) reversals of stcrilizatitm procedures. artificial inscminati-Lm. in vitro fertilizatKin. embryo transfer. prenatal screening and diagnostic techniques. genetic manipulation and therapeutic intcrycntions to correct genetic anomalies. scx selection techniques, embro cxperimentatioxt and fetal tissue transplants.

The Commission, which was created in October 1989 by the federal government, has set up an extensive Public Consultations Pro- gram to give Canadians from all walks of life and from all regions of the country the opportunity to contribute to its work. as it studies the origins. effects, and impacts of the technologies. New reproductive tech- nologies are fairly recent developments, usually designed to help infertile in- dividuals who wish to have children, or which focus on the embryo or fetus. The Commission is unique in its mandate, which also directs it to examine techniques and procedures which are not generally considered to be new reproductive tech- nologies. such as pre -natal screening and fetal tissue transplants, and in the broad approach it will take to studying all the tech- nologies.

Traitses, a Markham chiropractor. Each year the Workers' Compensation Board of On- tario processes approx- imately 500,000 claims for work-related injuries. he explains, and almost 90 per cent of these claims are for injuries from strains and sprains of muscles and joints. What's amazing, says Dr. Traitses, is that chiropractors, who are highly skilled in the care and management of such disorders, see less than 5 per cent of these injuries. "The problem," he points out. "is that too few employers and workers are aware of the chiropractic profession's enviable record of returning injured workers to the workplace." Not only does chiropractic care result in less cost and less time last, but also fewer hospitalizations. fewer surgeries, and significantly less impair- ment. But chiropractic's clinical effectiveness is on- ly half the story, he says... chiropractic management of these pro- blems is also very cast of fective... and this is an im- portant factor in today's value conscious society. Dr. Traitses identifies two other factors which keep injured workers from seeking chiropractic treat- ment. 7be fust is that although chiropractic care for job-related conditions is covered 100 per cent by the Workers' Compensation Board, many workers and employers are unaware that they have the right to choose chiropractic care for their injuries, and that there is no need for medical referral. The second factor is that many people mistakenly believe that chiropractors only treat backs. Although back injuries consistently represent about one quarter of claims to the On- tario Workers' Compensa- tion Board, says Dr. Traitses, another 20 per cent involve strains of the upper back, neck and shoulder together with in- juries of the limbs and their joints. "Chiropractors are not only skilled in the manage- ment of injuries of all these areas," he points out, "but also in the care of common- ly associated disorders such as headaches." The care of injured workers is a health pro- blem which has become ex- tremely expensive to our society," says Dr. Traitses. "Chiropractors clearly belong on the team of pro- fessionals concerned with the prevention and reduc- tion of this serious public issue. " These health 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 Market Village in Markham. quested to give proof of their military service, per- sonnel number, and the name of their unit.

Coach Manlvn Devine was very happy with the big swimming win. Some swimmers on our team are not swim club members yet but trained this July for the Peace Games Competition. Everyone who swam scored points towards Scarborough's win. That was a great ending to our 1989-90 swim season. Now it is break time for swimmers and coaches and a well deserved rest from pool activities. Swimmers are urged by Head Coach Darin Muma to terrain ac- tive by having fun with family and friends, and to relax from the rigours of their training schedules. Those will begin again in mid-September with the start of a new swim season. Anyone interested in any of the Scarborough Swim Club's programs from novice to seasoned com- petitor should phone the club office at 266-4531. Our 40th. Year of service to the community.

Benjamin Moore & Co. Limited. one of Canada's oldest paint com- panies. sees a bright future for the Canadian market. The company is current- ly building a 40.000 square foot paint manufacturing plant in Langley, B.C. to replace their smaller plant in Burnaby, which could no longer keep up with customer demand. The new facility will feature the very latest in manufactur- ing equipment, safety and environment protection technology. The capacity of the new factory will meet the anticipated growth in the Alberta and B.C. markets. In addition to the western plant. Benjamin Moore is building a plant in Burl- ington, Ontario, to supply resins for their industrial coatings and consumer paint manufacturing operations. Approvals were received from all regulatory agencies of each level of government prior to the start of con- struction and this state of the art unit w111 be equip- ped with advanced safety and environmental protec- tion features. Both facilities will begin produc- tion this year at a projected cost of $10.000,000. Moreover, Benjamin Moore recently received approval from both the federal government and the Canadian Standards Association to carry the Environmental Choice or ••EcoLogo•" on all of their water-based paints. To be able to carry this logo, all products had to meet the exacting standards set by Environment Cnaada and the CSA. The company, head- quartered in Toronto, has manufacturing and distribution facilities in Vancouver, Toronto. Burl- ington and Montreal, plus distribution centres in St. John's. Dartmouth. Win- rupeg. Saskatoon. Calgary. and Edmonton. Benjamin Moore has been manufac- turing paint since 1883 and was established in Canada in 1906. Opportunities For Industrial Investors The Toronto industrial market offers tenants and investors "tremendous" opportunities to acquire quality space on extremely favourable terms, says a mid -year market report prepared by Royal LePage Commercial Real Estate Services. Data gathered by Royal LePage indicates that as at June 30, 1990, available in- dustrial space within Greater Metropolitan Toronto stood at 657 million sq.ft., or a 10.6 per cent vacancy rate, com- pated with 46.3 million sq.ft., or a 7.4 per cent vacancy rate, at year end 1989. "With vacancies on the rise, most users of in- dustrial space have con- siderable leeway to negotiate leases that will provide them with a measure of com- petitiveness they haven't enjoyed in a long time," says Glen Moore, Vice President and Sales Metro Toronto Board Of Trade AIRPORTS On June 11, 1990 the Federal Transport Minister announced a series of initiatives for Pearson Airport including an increase in the flight cap from 70 to 76 flights an hour. The board welcomes the increase in the flight cap, but believes it must and can be raised again. The board asks for the criteria used for raising the cap as well as the dates for further increases. Addressing other issues contained in the announce- ment, the board also seeks timetables and funding re- quirements, including those for the relocation of the Area Control Centre from Pearson. Finally, the board encourages the Minister to focus his atten- tion on other short term measures to solve the pro- blems at Pearson. Guidelines for En- vironmental Report on Runways at Pearson Air- port The panel reviewing air- side development at Pear- son Airport has issued its guidelines for the prepara- tion of the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) by Transport Canada on the proposed runways at Pear- son. In its response to the guidelines, the board states that the information being sought is too detailed and will only result in a further delay to the process. Fur- thermore, the board finds the concerns expressed in the guidelines weighted heavily in favour of the op- ponents of the project. Mississauga Urged to Sup- port Runways at Pearson Airport In response to the City of Mississauga's appearance before the Federal En- vironmental Assessment Review Office (FEARO) examining the proposed new runways for Pearson Airport, the board wrote to Mayor McCallion asking the mayor to support the proposed runways at Pear- son. Review Process of Propos- ed Additional Runways at Pearson The board calls for the review process studying the proposed additional runways at Pearson to be expedited. In addition, The board seeks confirmation that only recently has Transport Canada lifted restrictions on technical .%l(x)re notes tnat quoted rental rates for some buildings in some locations have declined by up to 25% and that owners are offer- ing free rent incentives never before seen in Toron- to. "Free rent incentives have never been common in Toronto's industrial markets. Now, the norm for a five year lease might be three to four months free rent and we've seen it go as high as one year... Unlike one year ago, when industrial sales ac- tivity was being driven by equity -hungry users, Moore says purchasers now tend to be from the in- vestor community. :7�vlT� 010_0w� ,a studies required for the runways. Finally, the board encourages the federal government be more forceful in its support of the project. Controller Staffing at Pear- son Airport In a letter dated May 22, 1990 � see Policy in Action) Federal Transport Minister Doug Lewis pro- vided the board with an up- date on the air traffic con- troller staffing level at Pearson. Responding to this letter, the board seeks a quarterly report on staff- ing levels to determine the effect of attrition. In addi- tion the board restates its position that controllers be transferred to Pearson for short term contracts and that performance- stan- dards be established to create a level of expected service.

Be prepared to put on a few pounds. If the main dishes don't get you then the desserts and chocolates certainly will. Whether it was a lunch in the restaurant of our hotel, the Chesa Rustica on the Limmat River, or one of the famous Guildhouses such as Zur Schmiden on Marktgasse, it would ap- pear that the city's chefs don't know how to prepare a meal incorrectly. And no visit to Zurich is complete without a mouth-watering tour of the Sprungli Confec- tioner's shop on the Paradeplatz. Deidre and I topped off one day with a bag full of fresh truffles complete with instructions that they must be consum- ed within 24 hours so that the fresh chocolate wouldn't spoil. Plan to spend some time indoors. Zurich is either a large town or a small city...even they can't decide which. Never- theless, it has enough things to do during incle- ment weather that you will find the odd rain -shower is no problem at all. Our favourite was the Swiss Na- tional Museum. Located in several buildings overlook- ing a central courtyard, the National traces the com- plete history of Switzerland. from the stone age through the 20th. cen- tury. That is good for about three hours and there are still 31 more museums to visit. Three large churches dominate the landscape. In the Fraumunster we view- ed the stained glass win- dows created by Marc Chagall. The Grossrnunster's twin spires were being redecorated during our visit and St. Peter's features the largest clock face in Europe. Bring comfortable walk- ing shoes- From the narrow streets of the Old Town to the panorama of the city from the Undenhof, the on- ly nly way to really appreciate Zurich is by foot. With more than 2000 years of history, there is something interesting in almost every nook and cranny in Old Town. Art lovers can drop into numerous small galleries while those look- ing for antiques will fid a goodly choice but be prepared to pay for the quality. A stroll along the Bahnhofstrasse will take you past windows featuring fashions and jewellery by world famous designers. This Space Could Be Yours For $12 PER WEEK Let's Kill The 7% Federal GST Save some of your money, though, for the duty free shops at the airport. The promenade along Lake Zurich takes you across the Quay Bridge where you can gaze to the south toward the Alps. Don't bother with a car. If you can't walk to it, you can get there by tram or train. If you happen to be visiting more of Switzerland than just Zurich, as we were, you should invest in a Swiss Rail Pass. The come in various con- figurations and prices and, in addition to being ac- cepted on most trains in the country, they are also valid on the lake steamers and city transportation systems. In Zurich you will find the trams are clean, comfortable and very han- dy if you wish to go out to the zoo or just give your feet a rest. Don't worry about language. Even though Zurich is located in the German-speaking area of Switzerland, you will have no problem being understood in English. You will, though, find yourself saying 'danke" quite a bit ... even a few days after you get home. Explore the airport. While Deidre and I waited for our Swissair flight back to Canada, we took time to warder through the ter- minal with its lounges and shops. They even have a nursery where the children can nap or play prior to their flight. Pearson Inter- national take note. Enjoy yourself. And that's easy to do in Zurich The collapse of Odyssey International Airlines and sister company Thomson Vacations shows just how necessary Ontario*s Travel Compensation Act is. The quick reaction by both the government's Consumer and Commercial Services branch and the Canadian Association of Tour Operators should assure potential travellers that here in Ontario we are be- ing taken care of in a pro- fessional way.

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 That Realtor, ADDICTION RESEARCH FOUNDATION The ARF has a drug and alcohol infatuation line that operates from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. seven days a week, except holidays.

Queen's Park Report from Norah Stoner MPP Durham West COLLABORATIVE PLANNING FOR THE GTA No single government can make decisions about develop- ment in isolation. The growth of one municipality affects all of its neighbours. A new community in one area, for exam- ple, may burden the roads and public transit in a neighbour- ing municipality. The way growth is managed in one part of the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) will influence the lifestyles of other area residents. For this reason, the province has established the office for. the Greater Torontoregional - g bring topts, itM tatnves of the five oral governments, municipalities and several ministries. These leaders will be working together to ensure that growth is managed in such a way that the environment and the quality of life of residents will be protected and enhanced. At a recent press conference, attended by civic leaders, the Minister of Municipal Affairs, the Hon. John Sweeney, presented a major new study on growth management op- tions for the GTA. The study was commissioned by the Greater Toronto Co-ordinating Committee to promote and encourage concerted planning. The committee was to ex- amine the implications of different options for development and to stimulate public discussion and consultation so that a consensus may emerge about how to manage future growth. The general objective of the GTA Urban Structure Com- mittee was to develop three generic urban structure con- cepts oo-cepts for the GTA and provide a broad, strategic com- parison of the three concepts in term of their uifrastruc- trn a requirements, the capital casts of such facilities, and a number of then important criteria. The latter include en- vironmental quality, energy consumption, economic im- petus, and the ability to achieve sustainable deveknxnent, help conserve the regional and global environment, and maintain or improve the quality of life for those living and working in the GTA and areas surround it. The main characteristics of the three urban structure concepts are as follows. I. a status quo concept, representing a continuation of ex- isting trends, characterized by substantial population growth in the suburban regions at relatively low density, with continuing concentration of office development downtown and in varies subcentres in Metro and the four adjacent regions (designated at Concept 1, Spread); 2. a concept in which substantial additional population growth; intenritrcatim occurs within the central, built-up parts of the GTA along with further intensification of com- mercial growth, such that the rate of urbanization occurr- ing beyond the existing urban boundaries would be significantly reduced (referred to as Concept 2, Central) ; and 3. an intermediate concept in which the broad distribution of people and jobs is more similar to that of Concept 1 than of Concept 2, but in which growth uccurs primarily in and around ermsting communities in a compact form, resulting in a reduction in the rate of consumption of undeveloped land relative to Concept 1 ( designated as Concept 3, Nodal). The study comparisons of the three concepts suggests that their capital casts would be similar. about 579 billion by 2021. Based on per capita ung and projected popula- tion growth, that represents a 7 per cent increase over cur- rent expenditure levels. In some ways, Concept 1 is the least risky, since it would require leas change from the status quo. in the longer term, however, it carries the highest risk since it would place greater negative pressures on the environment and on natural resources including energy sources and agricultural land. The environmental risk related strongly to recent evidence that transportation activities, and par- ticularly automotive trarisporation emissions, are con- tributing significantly to acid precipitation, global warm- ing, ozone depletion at high levels and local toxic effects in and around urban areas. Concept 2 would require the greatest change from the status quo in terms of population densities and housing types, less automotive travel and greater use of transit, and growth management policies; programs, with the risks that are inherent in any signfcant change from the status quo. On the other hand, it would provide the greatest likelihood of achieving sustainable development and avoiding in the longer term, the apparently inexorable growth of suburban automobile traffic as it is increasingly experienced in large North American cities. Concept 3 would be intermediate between Concept 1 and 2 regarding its compatibility with sustainable development, the required level of government regulation and other corn- parison measures, with high rankings in terms of urban amenities, human services and external impacts on the GTA hinterland. The study will now be reviewed by regional governments and local municipalities in consultation with the public and various interest groups.
