For that reason, the com- mittee is asking the can- didates in the Sept. 6th pro- vincial election in each of the five ridings in Durham Region to complete a ques- tionnaire on housing. "Durham Region has been identified by the On- tario Ministry of Housing as an area with a critical shortage of affordable housing," said Barbara Black, Chairman of the Ac- cess to Permanent Housing Committee. "Because the province has a role to play in solving the housing crisis, we want to know where the can- didates stand on various ed ions," Mrs. Black ad - de In the questionnaire, the candidates are asked their views on such things as whether they feel decent, affordable housing is a basic human right, why people experience homelessness, what factors have created the housing crisis, what they feel is the most effective way of solv- ing the housing crisis, and what impact the lack of af- fordable housing has had in Durham Region. 'Homelessness affects many more individuals and families than people may realize," Mrs. Buell said. The homeless include those who use emergency shelters as a permanent form of accornmodation: those living in overcrowded and substandard housing; those paying more than 50 per cent of their income on rent and relying on food banks and second hand stores for other basic ncessities, and people who literally do not have roofs over their heats. ..Tire Access Committee believes that all people have the right to affor- dable, safe and appropriate housing. Our goal is to im- prove access to adequate and permanent housing in the region,., Mrs. Blick said. "We hope to raise public awareness of the shortage of affordable housing through our questionnaire. We encourage people to ask the candidates where they stand on housing issues," she said. Let's Brag That We're Canadians! Lwlplw rJT.aN' Page 2 THE NEWS POST Wed. August 15,19% Opinion a page for expression for you and us Not An Easy Win! by Bob Watson Well the unnecessary $40 million provincial election is underway and Premier Peterson is getting a lot of flack on his campaign instead of the adulation he obviously was ex- pecting. In the Rouge Valley which the Peterson government has promised to become a provincial park, Mr. Peterson won't say he is against the garbage dump there and wants to leave it up to Metro Toronto to decide. PC leader Mike Har- ris says he would ban a garbage dump in the Rouge. Of course the premier is for the environmentalists and says he is concerned about our air and garbage. But leader- ship in the solution to these problems doesn't seem to be high on the premier's list. He seems to want to wait for the right moment to cash in on someone else's mistake. Frank- ly we believe the premier should be saying that his govern- ment is going to provide financing to any municipalities which want to build incinerators to resolve the garbage pro- blems - as well as recycling projects of value. In this area we think that all bottles should be returned to the manufac- turer of the product to re -use. PC leader Mike Harris has (in Eastern Ontario) talked about removing "official bilingualism" from Ontario so that people can use French whenever they wish but the 90% of Ontarians who are using English don't have to have French supplied unnecessarily. Taking away the "official" part of bilingualism removes a tremendous cost factor and still leaves French-speaking Ontarians with their language. 'Measurer Bob Nixon is bragging about balancing his budget but he doesn't mention that he did it by taxing the hell out of Ontario - and especially Metro Toronto and district where we now pay $90 for a car Iicence while an equal citizen in North Bay pays only $60' Some equalit} Y. 'Alien Metro Toronto and district taxpayers provide most of the taxes for Ontario it seems wrong to make to pay more than someone else in another part of Ontario. Of course, NDP leader Bob Rae is doing his usual criticism of the liberal government on behalf of his union supporters. Premier Peterson hasn't commented on the fact that he backed Prime Misnster Mulroney and Quebec Premier Boutrrassa on the Meech Lake debate. He hasn't talked about whether the provincial retail sales tax is going to be put on top of the federal government's GST when it hits on Jan. 1st and applies on services such as dental bills, newspapers. magazines, books and many services which currently do not have a provincial sales tax. Premier Peterson probably called this election to avoid fallout from the federal governrnenCs stupidities but the ex- pendituue of $40 million for the election is a high factor in the minds of voters who feel that this is an unnecessary vote. It is unfortunate that the Conservatives are not as organized and financed well enough to make a satisfactory challenge. But then who knows - the voters are very upset with many- issues on every level of government and they could upset the premier's feeling that this is the right time to have an election.

Local Governments Meet Ontario's newest trade show targets municipalities, local governments that have ex- penditures of over $10 billion annually on everything from public safety and recreation to transportation and the en- vironment. On Aug. 19-21, more than 100 suppliers of products and services will be at the Metro Convention Centre to meet with the invited public and municipal representatives attending the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) annual conference. AMO president Grant floperoft of London said, "We have about 2,000 key municipal decision -makers in Toronto at the time of the annual conference. These delegates represent 97 per cent of the population of Ontario. We see this as an ideal opportunity to bring them together with sup- pliers who have products and services that can help us to improve municipal administration. The trade show is an integral part of our conference. which is also designed to improve the services that municipalities provide... AMO appointed Promex- po.

He makes it sound like South Africa - but , of course, our native peoples have the vote, have their own reserve land (called apar- theid in South Africa) and get much, much more cash loot from our federal and provincial governments than the black folks in South Africa ever dreamed of. In any event as a five generation Canadian I object strongly to the lack of action by our federal government in this Oka affair. Those face -covered bandits with machine guns at the ready should have been disarmed about six hours after they started and not let weeks go by.

The project will entail developing a "Native Way" child care centre that integrates native culture and language to serve the needs of the native community in Toronto (approximately 60,000 ). The project is the pilot phase of a five -phase project and will be carried out in conjunction with the Ankinomagai Kemik Education Council and the Toronto Board of Educa- tion.

August 15, 1980 Bill Watt's Worlds ON YOUR TOES: This grand celebration of ballet is a project of the Variety Club and all pro- ceeds will be donated to its Sports Training and Fitness Centre.

Among the stars dancing solo and pas de deux will be Farouk Ruzimatov (Kirov), Evelyn Hart (Royal Winnipeg), Karen Kain (National), Frank Augustyn (Ottawa Ballet) and Kelly Cass ( New York City). Remember now that these are just a few of the 28 first rank artists who will be appearing. For those who really wish to make an evening of it there will be a black -tie dinner before the gala per- formance. Tickets for the dinner and the gala are a modest and tax deductible $500.

Along with the Erik Bruhn Competition, Le Don des Etoiles is one of the two major ballet evenings of the year and should not be missed. The imperative is even more so when one con- siders the benefits for the works of the Variety Club. IN PRINT: The Perfect Place by Sheila Kohler (Knopf) might properly be deschb- ed as the perfect first novel except that, other critics' assessments notwithstan- ding, it is not a novel. It is rather a sustained mood piece; one that holds even a speed reader in thrall while unravelling a woman's long sublimated memories of a horror that might have been of her own doing. It is a first person work in which the character and personality of the narrator are fully formed in the mind's eve of the reader by the early Dumauriesque skill of Miss Kohler. To reveal the horror in a review for possible readers would be unfair of cause. also nonnecessary. The en- joyment of The Perfect Place lies in an apprecia- tion of the writing skill of the authoress. It is at times excessively verbose but the verbosity is deliberate and even recalls one's very early enjoyment of Saki's longer works. It can be monotonous but it is the monotony of repetitiveness ( not mpeti- tion) necessary to keep the reader's memory of earlier passages fresh. It can be convoluted and eircumulatory but the reader is always brought back to the quest for the nature of the horror. It is often erotic but never prurient. It is always in relentless good taste. What does the title mean? Damme if we know for certain but it doesn't matter. What does• is the pleasure of experiencing a new writer of promise.

Love Among the Single Classes by Angela Lambert (The Bodley Head) is also a first novel but cannot be considered even close to The Perfect Place either in style or content. It can probably best be described as a horny Harle- quin. Constance Liddell is a divorced librarian in her mid -forties. She lives in North London with her youngest child of three. Iwo Zaluski is a Polish political refugee in his mid - fifties. Formerly an economics teacher at Lodz University, he is now living in poverty in Earl Court. He needs an English spon- sor to remain in England and places an advertise- ment in a journal for one. Constance answers it. They meet. She falls in love with him but not he with she. They make love often. he with skill. she with en- thusiasm. He is a boor, she is a twit. Eventually he goes back to Poland anyway and she goes back to being sexually unsatisifned. We went on to another book. Phantom Life (Pan- theon) is the first of Daniele Sallenave's books to be translated into English. On evidence, one rather hopes it will be the last . Laure is 26 and lives alone. Pierre is 38, married and has two growing children. He and Laure have been clandestine lovers for four years. Did we mention that Laure is a librarian? What is it with these European librarians? Anyway, Mlle. Sallenave brings the tex- ture of experience to every page - the experience of adultery for all who know it, and all who may." We have deliberately quoted from the cover notes because they're better than the contents of Phantom Life. To be fair, it's possible that something has been lost in translation from the original French. Further, it must be admitted that the authoress does indeed con- jure extreme visual ex- perience in some passages. Perhaps her forte lies in screenwriting. For now, however, and for the foreseeable future the master of adulterous prose remains John Up- dike. ( Gender reference unintentional). We had thought that Tom Tryon might be the master of sublimal horror but his The Night of the Rainbow Moon ( Knopf) doesn't bear that out. His first book, The Other has or should become a classic of surprise horror. There is no surprise in The Night of the Rainbow Moon. It is set in a boy's sum- mer camp just before World War 11. The most re- cent arrival is young Leo, an orphan with a horror in the back of his infancy. He is a loner and a bit of a wimp but notwithstanding, he becomes popular. Yet, he is bedevilled by the counsellor of his lodge. Reece Hartsig, who is the epitome of every pre - The Triple Crossing Beginning at dawn on raise funds for the on-going Fri.

This course allowed for intense study in a small group setting. The flexible format emphasized hands- on, co-operative learning. Pupils were able to learn at an individualized pace. Practical applications in- cluding shape construction, graphing, diagrams, recorder playing and mind games like chess and diplomacy were used ex- tensively in this course.

Raised $30 Million M llstuderlts of Will The Heart and Stroke; Foundation of Ontario has announced record revenues for the vear end- ed June 30th. "Thanks to the outstan- ding efforts and en- thusiasm of our volunteers. we raised an incredible $30 million, far surpassing our goal for the year," says the foundation's volunteer president, Doug Sheppard. The foundation, which funds 67% of all heart and stroke research in Ontario. has doubled its revenues over the past four years. --'nus year we have been able to fund 196 research teams at 17 centres across the province," explains Sheppard. "But in spite of these encouraging numbers, the foundation can afford to fund only 40% of the research requests we receive." "Unfortunately, heart disease and stroke still have the unenviable posi- tion of being Canada's No. 1 killer, claiming more lives each year than all other diseases combined," adds Sheppard. "We've come a long way, but we still have a long way to go." Just a few years ago, Canadians had a 50% chance of dying from heart disease and stroke. Now the odds have improved to 43%, thanks in large part to the foundation's research and education programs. Thanks to the generosity of the city's residents, the Scarborough Chapter rais- ed almost $600,000 during the past year. Of this $170,000 was raised by students in the 43 Scar- borough schools which par- ticipated in the Jump Rope For Heart Program. This program involves a two hour skipathon for which the individual students col- lectsponsorships. 1 er Jr. Public School, in West Hill, raised over $15,000 and Chris Lister of Churchill Heights Public School raised over $1,000 indivi(fua I ly.

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 ar the manager at any office of Canada Trust Realtor.

The present difficulties at Oka can in large part be traced to the dispute over land to which the Kanesatake Indian Band has laid claim. In order to understand the present conflict, it is essential to consider the history of the land they have claimed. The origins of the dispute go back to 1717. At that time, the King of France granted the Seminary of St. Sulpice a tract of land for the purpose of establishing a mission. The Order brought with them Nipissing, Algonquin and Iroquois from Montreal. After a time, disagreement between the religious authorities and the Indians developed over the ownership of the land. In 1841. Parliament ruled in favour of the Sulpi- cians' full proprietary title, a decision upheld by the Privy Council in 1912. In January 1975, the Mohawks of Kanesatake, in conjunction with the Kanawake and Akw•esasne bands, presented a joint land claim to the federal and Wbec governments. After a careful historical and legal review of the situa- tion, the claim was rejected by the Minister of Indian Af- fairs and Northern Development (Judd Bucanan) in May 1975. The claim was rejected as the Mohawks could not assert aboriginal title to the land; any oboriginal title that may have existed had been extinguished by the Kings of France with respect to the land grants; Mohawk presence in the region did not predate European presence, as the Mohawks came to settle at Oka only after the Mission was established in 1721; and the judicial committee of the Privy Council had dealt with their claim in 1912. The current dispute at Oka is between the Mohawks of Kanesatake and the Municipality of Oka, which planned to expand a golf carie. This conflict has resulted in the deplorable standoff at Oka, row in its fourth week, and in the souring of the quality of relations between the Native peoples of Canada and the federal government. The shift in national attention in recent weeks to the cow cerns of the native peoples of Canada has had the unfor- tunate effect of casting into shadow the federal govern- ment's excellent track record in dealing with native issues. In the words of the Hon. Tom Siddon, Minister of Indian Af- fairs and Northern Development. Ottawa's record is one of which Canadians should be "justifiably proud." one which illustrates superbly Canada's commitment to its native peoples. I am in complete agreement with the government's in- sistence on the restoration of law and order as a prere- quisite to the continuation of the negotiation process in which it was involved. Armed resistance, regardless of its origin, is unacceptable to me. Canada has laws and I would hope that these would be followed. In keeping with this objective of the restoration of the negotiation process, the government has expressed its con- tinued readiness to take further substantial steps toward an equitable compromise. Notably, the government remains ready to effect the purchase of the land on which the golf course was to be expanded, although the community of Oka has decided at this time to reject the option of such a pur- chase. Further. the government recognizes the inadequacy of the present land base at Oka, and continues in its readiness to acquire ..commons" land. Most importantly, the government has expressed concern with regard to the social and economic development needs of the Kanesatake. I wish to assure you that I will continue to encourage my colleagues to persevere in their diligent efforts to bring about a solution to this regrettable impasse. ...........................................................
