August M" 19" Opinion a page for expression for you and us Where Are Our Leaders? by Bob Watson Looking at our country Canada from another land must be a sad observation. Here is a large country which appears to be completely out of control with native peoples - with guns - holding up a public highway and other native people going on the rampage to block the CN and CP rail lines in Northern Ontario. And not once do we hear from our Prime Minister on this issue. Silence is golden in some situations but definitely not in this one. In our opinion, the native peoples have absolutely no right to block traffic on a public highway or a railroad. They should be removed from these public ways immediately and put in jail if they refuse to obey the law. It seems that native disobedience of the laws of Canada has been triggered by one native person who stopped the Manitoba legislature from dealing with the Meech Lake issue. With this demonstration of how native folks can in- fluence the running of this country, all tribes are getting in- volved in one idea or another. We would like to point out to our vanished political leader at Ottawa that he was appointed by his party to be prime minister of this country and we expect him to perform - at least to his limited ability! Mulroney was so good in telling the South African government how to handle its native peoples - but in his own homeland, Brian Mulroney seems unable to speak on the topic. We would like to point out that this is 1990 and not 1690 and this is Canada. a land owned by the people of Canada - and it is NOT just a piece of land some recent immigrants took over from the original people living here. As pointed out last week by Rene Soetens, MP for Ontario riding• the land claim by the Mohawks of the Oka land in dispute was rejected by the Minister of Indian Affairs back in May of 1975 because the Mohawks did not occupy this land until after the white setUers were settled on it. Ap- parently the Mohawks did not settle at Oka until 1721 after a mission set up by the Seminary of St. Sulpice under the auspices of the King of Frain was in place. But right now we should have a government that informs the native people that this is not their land and get off the highway into Montreal before our army removes them for- cibly. Then if the Premier of Ontario had some leadership he would seek to remove the barricades by other Indians in Northern Ontario. We thought that we elected governments to tun the country - not be dictated to by any groups in the coarmunity. The native peoples are claiming most of Canada's lard as theirs. Would someone at Ottawa please inform them that this land belongs to Canadians .. please' Letter To The Editor Metro Tax Grab Dear Sir Your editorial in today's edition certainly turns the spotlight on the reasons a Liberal government should not be returned in Ontario. Particularly. it exposes their view that Metro Toronto residents are fair game for tax grabs. You mention the licence fee discrepancy but could have pointed out the par" lot tax applied only in Metro and adjacent areas. I am concerned that should the Librals form a govern- ment thev will institute the recommendation of the Colle Report on Metro Transit that each driver in Toronto be re- gwred to purchase a Metro Transit Pass each month at a cost of $53.00 1$636.00 per year) . In view of recent history, I have no doubt this, or some variation- will be adopted by the Toronto gouging liberals. I'm voting Conservative as the N.D.P. may win some ridings, but not enough to form a government and, when they have held the balance of power, they have traditionally supported the Liberals. Unless Metropolitan Toronto residents wish this tax ine- quality to escalate. they must vote Conservative in this election. Yours truly. Kenneth W.

Mainstream Canada The tip of the iceberg By Terry O'Shaughnessy Ominous references to "recession of 1982" is some- thing we're hearing more and more frequently these days as the number of bankruptcies across the country mount up as fast as economic optimism slumps. No doubt about it, the last decade of economic growth and all its apparent riches has hit the skids in 1990. Recent statistics on the rise of the bankruptcy level, both business and personal, are daunting to say the least. In the first half of this year. 30 per cent more Canadian companies and individuals slid into bankruptcy as compared to the first half of 1989. In the month of June alone bank- ruptcies increased by a full 32 per cent from the same month last year. But while personal bankruptcies led the pack, the business sector was left far from unscathed. In June, for exam- ple, a total of 823 companies were declared bankrupt—a fun 25 per cent more than in the same month Inst year. if this brisk pace continues, and experts say there is r?o sign yet that it won't, the level of busi- ness bankruptcies could exceed that of the previous recession. John Bulloch, president of the Canadian Federation of Independent Business, says that the burden of high interest rates in 1990 is taking its toll on small business right across the country. "The number of bankrupt- cies we are seeing now approach the severity of the situation faced in 1982," he says, "and that means dire consequences for more and more Canadians who will find themselves out of work." Bulloch explains that unlike the situation in 1982 where the slack in the economy was taken up by job creation in the small business sector, this time will be quite different. Small firms, particularly those in the service sector, arc not making any com- mitments in the face of the implementation of the Goods and Services Tax. And business registration numbers confirm that start-ups are flat. But even worse, says Bul- loch, are the amount of existing businesses which will simply decide to close their doors. "Formal business bankruptcies are only the tip of the iceberg," he says. "They traditionally mp- resent only about 10 per cent of total business failures. But there are many smart business owners who, given the current eco- nomic cKmate and facing the implementation of the GST, will decide they have had enough. " Bulloch believes the most responsible course of action for the federal government would be to postpone the implementa- tion date of the GST to allow some time for inflation and interest rates to be brought under control. "Such a strategy." he concludes, "could save perhaps 100.000 jobs. „ And that. Canadians would agree, should be reason enough. CFfB FNhN Swvw No More Defence Cuts? "Surely we have witness- ed the last of defence cuts in Canada" said Bob Hicks. M.P. for Scarborough East. The recent unrest in the Middle East and in Oka have mereiv underlined the necessity to maintian a creditable defence posture in Canada. "Even with the retro- fitting of high tech equip- ment, as a Canadian and a Parliamentarian I am ex- tremely embarrassed to deploy a 30 year old destroyer to the Persian Gulf," said Bob Hicks. Chairman of the Canadian NATO Parliamentary Association and member of the Standing Committee of National Defence and Veterans Affairs. "We must always be capable of maintainirg NATO, NORAD, and U.N. commitments or we shall lose all respect from the in- ternational community," said Mr. Hicks. In addition, our armed forces are call- ed upon to aid in drug inter- diction, fisheries surveillance, environmen- tal surveillance and illegal immigration surveillance. We are naturally pleased that the threat from the Soviet Union has virtually disappeared, however we cannot forget that in the classic study The Lessons of History, by Will and Ariel Durant, we are reminded that of 3,421 years of recorded history they could find duly 268 years that have seer[ no war." "I trust that the Finance Minister and the Cabinet will allow some modest growth in future defence budgets so our armed forces are not asked to do so much with so little," said Mr. Hicks. Here and There $600,000 Grant '1'o McMichael Art Collection A capital grant of $600,000 has been awarded to The McMichael Canadian Art Collection. This grant will be used to assist in addressing the erosion and fire safety upgrades necessary to maintain the physical integrity of the McMichael building. $1.78 Million In Research Grants The Ministry of Health has approved $1,782,340 in research grants to York University and the University of Toronto. The new funding will go to 48 university -based researchers and includes two new and 23 ongoing career scientist awards plus 13 new and 10 ongoing fellowships. Fellowship awards support graduate studies leading to a master's or a doctoral degree and post -doctoral research training. Awards to career scientists provide up to 10 years of support for outstanding candidates at the early stages of an independent research program in clinical or community health. The ministry will spend $31 million on health research in 1990-91 in both clinical and community health areas. - Intervenor Funding Intervenor groups participating in an examination of On- tario Hydro's proposals for meeting the province's future energy needs have been granted $1.7 million by a panel of the Environmental Assessment Board. The 26 groups will use the grants, paid by Ontario Hydro, to help determine how much money they will require to prepare briefs for the examination of Hydro's proposals contained in the Demand Supply Plan. Applications for intervenor funding totalled $15 mullion. A coalition of ten groups, including Greenpeace and Energy Probe, received 1349,300, the largest single allocation. Native groups received a total of $600.000. The environmen- tal assessment bearings into Hydro's proposals begin Jan. 7. 1991. Electricity Consumption During June, Ontario Hydro supplied 10.7 [million megawatt -hours of electricity to its customers, compared to 10.6 million megawatt -hours during the same period in 1989. The 2D -minute June peak was 19,999 megawatts, com- pared to a peak of 20,075 megawatts during the same period in 1989. For 1990 Caribana Festival The Caribbean Cultural Committee has received a grant of $58,000 to assist with the costs of an economic impact study of the 1990 Caribana Festival. "The Caribana Festival has grown enormously since its inception 23 years ago. becoming one of the most popular multicultural celebrations in North America," said Bob Wong, Ontario Minister of Citizenship. '"Phis study will con- tribute oo-tribute to its continued success by providing organizers with the statistical information needed to attract increased corporate and private sector sponsorship." .y 'j:�:•l 1'1 �!ti�!{' L'.S_ %f .: ! ii:- . .•t• ------ Common --:-- Common Pause Day During the 1987 election campaign, Premier David Peter- son said he believed ••Ontarians generally support the con- cept of a common pause day' He said he had "no plans to make major changes" to Ontario's Sunday dosing law. In May 1987. an all -party comittee of the Legislature unanimously recommended provincial legislation which **supports the principle of a common pause day in Ontario". The Premier responded: "I accept that advice .. and I don't plan any immediate changes." We all know what happened. The Government broke its promise, changed the law, permitted municipalities to ap- prove wide-open Sunday shopping, and allowed supermarket -size drug stores and multi -national food chains to break the law without fear of prosecution. To add insult to injury, the liberals' new law was found to be "constitutionally invalid and of no fare or effect." So, now Ontario has no law, and we have wide-open Sunday shopping, causing major problems for retail workers, their families and others. I wonder what Premier Peterson will promise tis in this election? Will he pledge to pass legislation that protects people's human right to a common pause day that is enforc- ed throughout the province? Will he offer to re -introduce the old law which was declared to be constitutional by the Supreme Court of Canada' As a province -wide coalition of businesses, churches, citizens' groups, retailers' associations and trade unions, Fairness For Families urges Premier Peterson to in- troduce legislation that will ensure a common pause day across Ontario for as many retailers and retail employees as possible and that will effectively protect the rights and freedoms of all religious groups.

Page 6 THE NEWS! POST Wed. August 22, 1990 Bill Watt's Worlds ACT ONE: When the modern state of Israel was created, a deci- sion was made to abolish -or if not abolish, allow to die out -the Yiddish language in favour of pure Hebrew. Personally, we rather like the sound of Yiddish which is not unlike the similar guttural Scottish Gaelic of our youth. Certainly, we lament the passing of Yiddish theatre - even though in i•s latter days it had developed a style and stylism remindful of other more strictured theatrical disciplines -and the stars who graced it; Menasha Skulnik, Luther Adler, Paul Muni and so many others. Chaim Topol, who stars in the 25th anniversary pro- duction of Fiddler on the Roof currently playing at The O'Keefe, brings back, however unconsciously or otherwise, the faded glory of Yiddish Theatre. That's about as polite a way we can find to say that he walks -strolls -through his role as Tevye. the milk man of Anatevka. the man who talks intimately to his God wtuile trying to eke out a living and provide for his family. Topol is supremely and obviously talented. Hell, with his glorious, rumbling voice he could enthrall an audience merely by reading the Altoona, P.A. telephone book! The role of Tevye however, calls for more than simply techni- que. It calls for a presence that allows a non-Jewish audience to realize how Jewry has survived millen- nia of persecution with a dignity that allows for wit and humour. It does not call for a stylized, or seemingly so, exercise of expert stage craft and vocal artistry. All of which is not to say that this production is not enjoyable. Fiddler is about as failproof a show as is possible and Topol's performance -he could have been having a bad night - does not detract. One mere- ly wishes that he might have given it vitality rather than control, pathos in- stead of bathos, more tears than laughter. One never wearies of the Jerry Bock Sheldon Har - nick score that so trulv reflects the spirit of Sholem Aleichem's writings. Be reminded that it includes the poignant Sabbath Prayer. Sunrise Sunset, Around and About Your Dining &Entertainment Guide Far From The Home I Love: the poignant and amusing If I Were a Rich Man, Do You Love Me? the sprightly Matchmaker Matchmaker; the exciting To Life and the Wedding Dance. All are nicely per- formed by a well balanced cast. One does not forget either, the still fresh choreography of Jerome Robins. This is traditional central European dancing vitalized for Broadway and still vital. Fiddler on the Roof is still an enjoyable ex- perience and always will be. We recommend a visit to see it. Perhaps too you'll advise us if Topol was in- deed just having an off night when we saw him. ENTRE'ACTE: Before attending Fiddler we had put in a regrettably - for us -brief appearance at a farewell Roast and Toast for Gregory Patterson who is leaving his position as Publicity Director of the National Ballet of Canada to take a similar post with the English National Ballet in London, England. He will be missed but- clich# time -our loss is England's gain. The master of ceremonies was John Burgess who performed his duties well while making a fashion statement. One is not too sure what that statement was supposed to be but what the hey! Greg Patterson is a very handsome man and seeing him in full profile one was struck for the first time by his resemblance to Julio Ig- lesias. Side by side with John Burgess the effect was rather that of Julio and Ghoulio. We only toast Greg Pat- terson: we roast only John Burgess - thanks for fine evenings at the ballet, Greg. Think of us often as we surely will think of you.

Scarborough Ample free parking. For reservations 6941194 702 Pape Ave. (above Danforth Ave.) 463-0334 Harvey Fierstein's Torch Song Trilogy. Homo or bisexual males -we deplore the etymological misuse of gay -need no longer stay in the metaphorical closet; need no longer fear profes- sional or personal disgrace; need no longer be even vaguely suspect in adult society. It is a brave though not new world in which one's emotional directions and proclivities may be unshielded. Intellectually, we can write that but disinterestedly we cannot. We cannot accept the spec- tacle of males in sexual embrace no matter how discreetly staged. The mind accepts; the heart cannot. With that as caveat, allow us to address the Stagefright production of Torch Song Trilogy now in residence at the Alumnae Theatre (70 Berkeley St.). The play is not so much an expression of an author's courage in pro- claiming himself -the main character is obviously Fierstein-as a defiance of what many still consider a proper moral code. It is a nose thumbing exercise and it is only because of a fine cast and staging that this production is a silk purse rather than the sow's ear it deserves to be. As Arnold Berkoff, the drag queen, in true love with two men, one of them marred to a woman ( looks strange in print doesn't it) Joe Gascon delivers a per- formance that warrants a Dora nomination We have followed Mr. Gascone's career for a mnnber of years now and have always known him to be an ex- cellent musician and direc- tor. But, what an actor! His Arnold is at once fun- ny and sad. One laughs at his trenchant comments on society, one weeps for him when that same society fights back at him and when he suffers from faithless lovers. Though funny, he never loses dignity even when one sees him in a bath robe showing a hairy chest and a pair of bunny slippers on his feet. We can think of no higher praise than to state that his command and delivery of the role is well nigh flawless. He most certainly gets a vote from us should he receive that Dora nomination. George Bertwell as Ar- nold's long time lover Ed, plays his role so well, one feels like shaking him. He is a weak man who vacillates between his love for Arnold and his desire to live in the "straight" world. He's the one mar- ried to a woman and he is so wimpy one wonders what she could possibly have seen in him except that he is apparently good in bed.. with anyone. Well done Mr. B. Fiona Willsie is Laurel, Ed's wife, and brings an underplayed strength to the role that might other- wise be unnoticed. She is bright, cheery, worldly and deserving of better than the weak Ed. Worldly Amato-Gauci plays the role of Alan who is the man Arnold eventual- ly marries. He is a golden boy type and within the limited scope of his role Friskies PetCare announces that the "aristo-cat-ic" Fan- cy Feast feline, who has starred in numerous television pro - gams, motion pictures and catfood commercials, will be available for interviews on Aug. 23 and 24, prior to his '.purr-sonal" appearance at the Canadian National Cat Club Show at the CNE grounds in Toronto on Aug. 25 and 26. Known to his fans as S.H. 111, the chinchilla Persian will appear four times during each of the two days of the cat show to be held in the Upper East Annex of the Coliseum. The show will run from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday and 9 a.m. to S p.m. on Sunday. S.H. 111 will award the "Oscar of Catdom" - the Fancy Feast Crystal Cup Award - to the top - scaring kitten, alter and cat of the show, which will be held in affiliation with the Canadian Cat Association. Although S.H. 111 is best known today as the suave, sophisticated feline in the Fancy Feast commercials, fans may also recognize him from his roles in television series such as "Pinky Brewster" and "Dynasty", and movies like "Scrooged" and "The Jack" with Steve Wartin.

It is simply that there is only so much any actor can do with a role that calls mostly for one to be beautiful. Ron Genner is effective as David the possibly adop- tive son of Arnold. He is called upon to be precocious and does so to a T. He suffers, however, from what we think of as third act syndrome, about which more a little later. Brenda Anne Sullivan as Arnold's mother also suf- fers from that syndrome as does, we suggest, the direc- tor Robert Fisher. The first two acts are rather understated. The third, however, veers dangerously close to being broad. We have an idea that the playwright was losing his discipline and was beginning to consider himself an early Neil Simon. Much of the dialogue is too clever by half and the delivery of it calls almost for a touch of burlesque. So it is that Miss Sullivan delivers a caricature rather than a sketch, a pastiche rather than a can- vas. If this production falters toward its end, it is not the fault of the participants. The play itself is badly structured and difficult to control. And, as always, the play remains the thing. So it is that we much recommend readers' custom of Torch Song Trilogy but for the production, not the play. CLUB SCENE: Popular Maggie Moore appears at The Cameron every Tuesday through to the end of August. You can also see and hear her on Saturdays at Imogene's the newest cocktail lounge in our town. At Imogene's. it's strictly intimate songs by candle light. Look out now! ON RECORD: Anyone who has attended a Tuck and Patti perfor- mance will attest that a high point in their show is when Tuck takes centre stage for a featured solo. Those same fans and others who admire the work of Tuck Andress will be pleased to know that A. & M. has released Tuck's first solo album. Featuring just one guitar and recorded lives with no punching or overdubbing, Reckless Precision presents an eclectic mix of cuts. Along with Body & Soul, Stella by Starlight and Begin the Beguine one can also hear Over the Rain- bow, Sweet P. and Grooves of Joy among others. Good album. Enjoy! FAST EXIT: While entertaining visitors from Quebec recently we couldn't avoid recalling this comment of Sir John Vanbrugh. "The want of a thing is perplex- ing enough but the posses- sion of it is intolerable." In other words, don't ask for justice mes auris; you might get it.

Brenda Anne Sullivan as Arnold's mother also suf- fers from that syndrome as does, we suggest, the direc- tor Robert Fisher. The first two acts are rather understated. The third, however, veers dangerously close to being broad. We have an idea that the playwright was losing his discipline and was beginning to consider himself an early Neil Simon. Much of the dialogue is too clever by half and the delivery of it calls almost for a touch of burlesque. So it is that Miss Sullivan delivers a caricature rather than a sketch, a pastiche rather than a can- vas. If this production falters toward its end, it is not the fault of the participants. The play itself is badly structured and difficult to control. And, as always, the play remains the thing. So it is that we much recommend readers' custom of Torch Song Trilogy but for the production, not the play. CLUB SCENE: Popular Maggie Moore appears at The Cameron every Tuesday through to the end of August. You can also see and hear her on Saturdays at Imogene's the newest cocktail lounge in our town. At Imogene's. it's strictly intimate songs by candle light. Look out now! ON RECORD: Anyone who has attended a Tuck and Patti perfor- mance will attest that a high point in their show is when Tuck takes centre stage for a featured solo. Those same fans and others who admire the work of Tuck Andress will be pleased to know that A. & M. has released Tuck's first solo album. Featuring just one guitar and recorded lives with no punching or overdubbing, Reckless Precision presents an eclectic mix of cuts. Along with Body & Soul, Stella by Starlight and Begin the Beguine one can also hear Over the Rain- bow, Sweet P. and Grooves of Joy among others. Good album. Enjoy! FAST EXIT: While entertaining visitors from Quebec recently we couldn't avoid recalling this comment of Sir John Vanbrugh. "The want of a thing is perplex- ing enough but the posses- sion of it is intolerable." In other words, don't ask for justice mes auris; you might get it.

Even before they enter the round, orange -domed pavilion near the CNE's Dufferin Gates, the Maple Leaf Rappers and festival barkers make sure visitors get the message that Canada is undergoing many social changes, which Bravo Canada! is all about this year. The Family, Society and Work are the focus of Bravo Canadal. Inside the pavilion, young hosts help visitors discover, in the ex- hibits, the many challenges facing society and the in- novative solutions developed by Canadians from all walks of life. They direct people to game shows managed by electronic and human hosts. a computer -gypsy who tells visitors how long they can expect to live, a stationary bicycle in- troducing riders to possible road hazards, a giant shoe showing what to look for in a good walking shoe, a three -tiered revolving wed- ding cake depicting various modern family structures, a smashed -up car highlighting the leading cause of children's deaths. Many of the exhibits in- volve visitors, with interac- tive games and quizzes that buzz, blink and inform at the touch of a button or the lifting of a telepnone receiver. Each of the three exhibit areas includes profiles of Canadians who are living proof of the changes in our society. BRAVO CANADA! AND SOCIETY By the year 2001, one out of seven Canadians will be over 65, visitors learn in the Society area. As we develop from a young to a mature society, services and facilities have to adapt. 1345 Non -Profit Homes Allocated To Metro Toronto Seventeen non-profit housing groups in Metro Toronto have received ap- proval to go ahead with plans to develop 1,345 ren- tal homes under a federal - provincial housing pro- grain- "Providing ro- gram."Providing quality, affordably -priced housing to the people of Ontario is a priority with the provincial government.

About 3,000 of these will be subsidized by the federal and provincial governments which will spend an estimated $1.7 billion supporting this housing over the next 35 years. The federal government, through Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC), will pay 60 per cent of the cost of these subsidies. while the provin- cial government will pay 40 per cent for people unable to find adequate, suitable rental accommodation for less than 30 per cent of their incomes. Subsidies for other rent - geared -to -income homes, as well as all market renal homres, will be paid by the province alone. Choir Begins Its 65th. Year The Toronto Jewish Folk Choir commences its 65th season under the direction of David Varjabed, guest conductor, on Wed. Sept. 5th at 7:30 p.m. at the Win- chevsky Centre, 585 Cran- brooke Ave. (five blocks north of Lawrence, one half block east of Bathurst). New singers are invited in men's and women's voices. Ability to read music is an asset but not mandatory. The choir is a performing group, specializing in the Yiddish repertoire, both traditional and contem- porary. Works by Canadian composers are regularly presented. Rehearsals are weekly, on Wednesday nights. For information call Toby at 633-8184 or Michelle at 663-1024. .................:::::........ Don't Forget To Vote "Society" explores the challenges created by our aging population and presents ideas on how to ensure its continued health and happiness, retrofitting homes so people can age in place, producing products and services for seniors, and building alternative barrier -free housing such as granny flats. Accessibility, for in- stance, concerns seniors, and "Society" examines curbcuts, public transpor- tation and upgrading driv- ing skills. BRAVO CANADA! AND THE FAMILY Children are still an im- portant part of the family. However, the family as we knew it in the 1950's is gone. Today, for instance, there are fewer middle -born children. Is this changing society's face and per- sonality? Visitors can discover for themselves how their personalities relate to their birth order. Children have a right to a safe, healthy life, and to a good education. Bravo Canada! presents the United Nations Declaration of Children's Rights and encourages youngsters to add some of their own ideas on the wall below. Bravo Canada! pulls no punches describing some of the safety and health hazards today's children must face. Information on health hazards is found by selecting from a number of video discs. Among these, "Sex. Drugs and Rock and Roll" contributes to AIDS, drug and alcohol awareness. By riding a sta- tionary bicycle, young visitors can learn about bicycle safety. Canada is recognized in- ternationally for producing quality children's pro- gramming. Bravo Canada' showcases award-winning children's entertainers, writers, filmmakers and performers.

Metro Toronto Board Of Trade TRANSPORTATION Pearson Airport Federal Transport Minister Doug Lewis responded recently to a number of board briefs on Pearson Airport ("Avia- tion Strategy for Southern Ontario, October 1989"; "Environmental Hearing Process for Proposed Run- ways at Pearson, February 1990"; "Pearson Airport", March 1990). Concerning controller staffing, the minister states, "with the training now ongoing and the in- creased recruiting with basic training in Cornwall, it was decided that the ex- tra expense (of transferr- ing controllers) would not be offset by any tangible capacity or safety benefits at Pearson". Addressing the current environmental study on proposed runways at Pear- son the minister states "I assure you that I intend to take all views on the air- side development project into consideration and make a decision as quickly as possible." Finally. ad - Metro Council News from Ken Morrish Councillor Scarborough Highland Creek It continues to be a pleasure for me as _your Metro Coun- cillor to keep you informed of the various issues and hap- penings in our community. There have been some exciting events in Scarborough Highland Creek so far this summer. Those involved in the Highland Creek Heritage Day festivities get full marks for a great day. The Highland Creek Legion also did a splendid job in organizing the Canada Day parade, and I know that next year's celebrations will be even bigger and better than ever. Congratulations to all involved in these and the many more events scheduled for Scarborough this year. We all appreciate your enthusiasm. 1 would like to thank the residents in the Ellesmere Road Morrish Road area for voicing their concern about the safety of school children when crossing at this intersec- tion. I would especially like to thank the Parent Teacher Association of Cardinal Leger Catholic School for their sup- port of our recommendation that traffic lights be installed at this location. These signals should be in place by the start of this school year in September. Just a quick note on garbage recycling since I receive several calls each week on these matters. A recent national poll shows that most people feel the condition of the en- vironment is their major concern. Metro is now reaching a crisis situation. Our present landfill sites at Brock Road and Keele Valley will be closing in approximately two years. As you know, the M2 and .1+13 sites in the Rouge River Valley area are again being considered as locations for Metro's garbage, with which I do not agree. We in Scar- borough Highland Creek can help this situation by demonstrating that we have declared war on garabge by recycling and composting our household waste as much as possible. Scarborough Highland Creek residents using the Blue Box have helped to cut the amount of refuse to landfill by 10%. By practicing backyard composting of organic material, vegetable and fruit peelings, food scraps and garden waste such as grass and leaves in small amounts t about 25% of our garbage) we can do even more. A backyard composter will save about 20,000 tons of garbage per year in Metro from going to the landfill sites. If you would like to order a backyard composter at a cost of $20.00 for metro residents, please give my office a call at 392-4055 and we will ensure that your name is added to the list in the Metro Works Department. There are many ways to get involved in the community. Being a Block Parent, participating in your local Home and School Association especially if you have children, or even joining one of our many community and recreational associations where the needs of your area are studied in depth and recommendations are made to Scarborough and Metro Councils. Also by serving on volunteer advisory boards, concerned citizens can contribute to the running of their community. Here are a few issues that currently need your involve- ment and support: - the development of East Point Park - the refurbishing of the Heron Park athletic facilities - increasing the parking at the Rouge GO station - a more integrated TTC bvus service at both the Guildwood and Rouge GO stations. The opportunities for involvement in the community are many, and participation really counts as demonstrated by the action taken by residents of the Ellesmere Road; Mor- rish Road area. For the past 24 years I have enjoyed work- ing with residents who have contributed their time, exper- tise and insight on how Scarborough and Metro Councils should be operated. We have over 300 volunteer organiza- tions in Scarborough encompassing sports, culture and social issue groups, which involve between 25,000 to 30,00 people. If you would like to help out and get involved, please give me a call at 392-4055. dressing the need to imple- ment several new short term measures to increase airport capacity as ad- vocated by the board, the minister says, "During the past year, a number of the procedures cat U.S. Air- ports) were adopted to suit Canadian needs. These in- clude changes in phraseology used by con- trollers, reduced separa- tion between successive departures, and reduced separation between depar- ting and arriving aircraft." Ontario/ Quebec Rapid Train Task Force Past President Gordon Riehl recently received a letter from the task force examining the possibility of high speed train travel in the Quebec -Windsor cor- ridor thanking the board for its participation in the hearings process and its submission ( "Comments Regarding the Proposed High Speed Rail Along the Quebec City -Windsor Cor- ridor, April 20, 1990"). A report on the train's feasibility is expected to be presented to Premiers Peterson and Bourassa by the end of the summer. CUSTOMS Customs 2000 In a letter dated June 7, 1990, The Hon. Otto Jelinek, Federal Minister of Revenue, confirmed that the board will be asked for input into Customs 2000 as the issues evolve. The minister also indicated that his department found the board's clinics hosted by the International Trade Department, to be a valuable forum for briefing board members and their guests of current issues on customs.

One way to get their message across is to experience a family vacation that com- bines recreational activities with educational programs. Lu Ann Craighton, an in- terpretive naturalist with Callaway Gardens in Pine Mountain, Georgia, sug- gests considering a program that offers Flexibility, proper supervision for young chil- dren, hands-on experiences and increased awareness of a topic, such as the environ- ment. Citing the Summer Re- creation Program at Call- away Gardens, a 2500 -acre garden and resort, Craighton emphasizes the wide variety of choices available for families who share the same interests or have divergent tastes. Unlike dropping the kids off at camp, this unique seven-day program, now in its 301h year, allows family members the choice of doing activities together or indi- vidually. Watersports, golf. tennis, fishing, biking, edu- cational Discovery Prog- rams or sunbathing at the beach are but a few selec- WNW For children, days and night% are packed full of ex- citing activities supervised by trained counselors, some of whom double as perfor- mers in Florida State Uni- versity's "Flying High" Cir- cus, also celebrating its 30th anniversary at Callaway. Throughout the week, kids can learn circus tricks in the morning and watch perform- ances in the afternoon or evening. The circus tent is located at Robin Lake Beach which is also the site of a children's center with a large outdoor playground. river- boat ride, paddleboats, a miniature train ride, minia- ture golf, and performances of the Callaway Gardens Water Ski Spectacular. Housed in two-bedroom cottages with kitchens.

The resort offers four superb golf courses, ranked among the best in the nation, and a five- star tennis program. A 7.5 mile bike trail through the scenic gardens is a pleasant way for the whole family to spend the after- noon as well as a fun way to visit attractions in the Gar- dens. The Day Butterfly Center is the largest free - flight, glass -enclosed but- terfly center found in North America. The award- winning Sibley Horticultural Center is the site of a display of life-sized topiary dino- saurs, opening May 25, 1990. Other attractions in- clude a 7.5 acre vegetable garden, an authentic 1800% pioneer log cabin and a beautiful Men -tonal Chapel nestled deep in the woods. Callaway's Discovery Programs provide insight and interpretive views of the natural environment at Call- away Gardens. Approx- imately 25 programs, usual- ly an hour in length, are pre- sented each week during the summer. Time for Turtles. Butterfly Basics, Vegetable Scavenger Hunt, Nature Canoeing and Astronomy are just a few of the topics offered. Craighton says the goal of these educational experi- ences is to heighten aware- ness of the environment through "up close" participa- tion. "We hope our prog- rams enable people to make better decisions about their everyday lives," she con- cludes. Callaway Gardens is lo- cated 70 miles southwest of Atlanta off 1-185 on U.S. Highway 27.

BLOCK PARENTS Canada Trust has put out an informative pamphlet on the Bleck 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 hoahe 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. U 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.
