Keep Funds Separate
Durham Regional Coun-
cil has sent a letter to the
Hon. Robert Nixon.
Treasurer of Ontario, ask-
ing that funds raised on
gasoline, commercial land
and motor licences in the
Greater Toronto Area be
kept in a separate account
and used for the purposes
for which they were col-
lected.
The letter points out that
it "has become apparent
that revenues raised
through these tax
measures are not full -
Letter To The Editor
About Dump
Dear Editor:
utilized for the purposes for
which they were raised or
for the benefit of those
from whom such revenues
were generated".
So Durham Council
wants the treasurer to
segragate all revenues
through these taxes on
gasoline and fuel, vehicle
registration, driver licence
fees and commercial con-
centration tax and used for
the benefit of those from
whom such revenues were
generated.
Sites
Anyone even contemplating putting garbage in the Rouge
Valley Park should be subjected to a mental examination.
The excuses repeated by Metro Chairman Allen Tonks as
short term requirement it is a ridiculous cop out. The
misconceptions held before the public of Metro and Ontario
make it that much more difficult to secure an area for
waste disposal. One of the misconceptions held before the
public is the syndrome of "not in my back yard". That
should not read my black yard - it should read "our back
yard"_
The dump site is or should be a collective dump site to in -
chide the various surrounding communities. Scarborough
has simply no more back yard left. We can't fill our remain-
ing parks with dump. %bile Metro had a back yard Scar-
borough's back yards of yesteryear are spotted with debris
sites that accommodate the waste of surrounding com-
munities. Metro is getting choked with density problems.
We are simply asking the communities of Ontario to throw
us a lifeline. Our resources of land area can't go on forever.
Some industrial concentration for producing the
country's wealth is going to be more dense than other On-
tano's land tact. True Canadians value all land tract. We
cannot afford to hold any area in disdain so when anyone
says not in my back yard it is our backyard too.
The simple necessity it is hard to believe that within On-
tano there is not a site that would have less impact on
public moral than the declaration of our treasured paries. If
Metro were allowed to strangle in its refuse the loss in
wealth produced would be a loss felt throughout the counn-
try.
It is. however. criminal on the part of our Provincial
Premier David Peterson to simply stand aside in this crisis.
Peterson's jurisdiction and responsibility is beyond the
bounds of Metro not to actively assist Metro Council in ac-
quiring suitable area. Premier Peterson is simply concern-
ed about keeping his hands clean.
Metro Council is in hot water trying to negotiate for pro-
perty
roperty outside its jurisdictional territory. The token finan-
cial gesture made recently by the federal government to
Scarborough in the way of encouragement toward the crea-
tion of park area in the Rouge Valley w -as so appreciated -
The federal government could have said this is not our
jurisdiction. Peterson shouldn't be able to say this but he
does by his inactivity. I suggest Premier Peterson get off
his horse before he gets into his big election bus.
Yours truly
Mike Boychyn

BC Pushing
Direct
Democracy
117,
DAVID SOMERVILLE
British Columbia Pre-
mier William Vander
Zalm is quickly establish-
ing himself as this coun-
try's most dynamic propo-
nent of empowering citi-
zens through direct de-
mocracy.
In the past year, his
government has intro-
duced two important,
ground—breaking pieces of
legislation that have effec-
tively established referen-
dums as a democratic op-
tion in Canada.
The first such law,
passed in February of this
year, dealt with the fi-
nancing of local school
boards. Lander this law, if
the boards want more
money than is budgeted
for in the provincial
budget, they are required
to seek the consent,
through referendums, of
the taxpayers who would
have to pay for the in-
creased spending.
The law, which was
vehemently opposed by
the the BC teachers'
union, provides that
school boards seeking ad-
ditional funds must in-
form taxpayers of the
amount to be raised, the
tax consequences of rais-
ing the money and the
programmes to be fi-
nanced by the additional
taxes.
On May 5th, nine
school boards held refer-
endums and in seven of
them voters refected the
tax increases.
Taxpayers had spoken
— decisively.
Vander Zalm's other
piece of referendum legis-
lation was introduced in
Julv and is more wide
ranging. known as Bill
55, this law makes it pos-
sible for the province to
hold referendums on im-
portant public policy is-
sues. Provincial Secretary
Howard Dirks says this
legislation will provide a
"public consultation proc-
ess in virtually every area
of public policy."
Dirks noted that the
failed Meech Lake Ac-
cord is one issue that
could have gone before
the people had the legisla-
tion been in place.
From a direct democ-
racy perspective. Bill 55
should go even further.
Under its provisions, ref-
erendums can only be in-
itiated by the government
and any results wouldn't
necessarily be binding on
it.
That may change under
public pressure. Already,
BC NDP leader :dike
Harcourt has called upon
Vander Zalm to amend
the bill to provide for citi-
zen—initiated referendums
and to make them bind-
ing.
Despite its flaws, how-
ever, Bill 55 is a positive
step that should be enthu-
siastically embraced by
BC voters. After all, ref-
erendums empower citi-
zens and give them a di-
rect and meaningful voice
in the shaping of their fu-
ture.
Hopefully, Vander
Zalm's bold steps in the
field of direct democracy
will help to set an exciting
new direction for democ-
racy in Canada.

Homicide In The Home
by Tom Mitchell
Think of home and the words that usually come to rnind
are those like love, happiness, comfort, security. But in
many instances in our society, home is the site for the worst
kind of family violence.
From 1974 to 1987, Statistics Canada figures show, people
related by marriage, a common-law union or kinship were
involved in 2975 (about 39%) of all homicides solved by
police. In eight of every 10 of these incidents, the killing
took place in the home of the victim or the suspect.
Men who killed their wives or common-law partners were
the largest single grog involved in these homicides over
the 14 year period, accounting for 37% of all incidents.
Wives and common-law wives were responsible in 12% of
cases, fathers in 11%, mothers in 9%. and a child of the vic-
tim in another 9%. Homicides by a brother or a sister,
aunts, uncles, cousins or other relatives accounted for the
remaining 22% of incidents.
There is another tragic aspect to the figures on homicides
within families: the killers often take their own lives im-
mediately afterward. Men who killed their spouse or child
were most likely to commit suicide following such slayings.
In the 1974-87 period, 31% of those men who killed their
wives, 19% who killed common-law partners and 24% who
killed their children took their own lives after the initial
slaying.
A firearm was the weapon most frequently used in all
family homicides, accounting for 37% of the victims. Stabb-
ing was the second most common cause of death (23%)
followed by beating (21%) and strangulation or suffocation
(10%).
Alcohol or drug consumption was cited by police as a fac-
tor in some 30% of all family homicides from 1974 to 1987.
Incidents involving alcohol by itself declined from 47% of
cases in 1975 to 21% in 1987. Evidence of drug involvement
stayed at about 5% of cases throughout the 14 year period.
Native people (status and non -status Indians, Metis and
Inuit), representing only about 3% of the national popula-
tion, accounted for 23% of the suspects and 22% of the vic-
tims in these family homicides. Fully 65% of the homicides
with Native victims involved alcohol consumption by either
the victim or suspect or both.

Binder Twine Festival Sept.8
The 24th annual Binder
Twine Festival will be held
on Sat. Sept. 8th in the
village of Kleinburg.
The festival is a family
affair featuring the best
entertainment, the best ap-
ple pies, the best fun and
the best value for all those
who attend.
The second Saturday of
September was chosen for
the festival after extensive
research of weather
statistics dating back to the
early 1900s confirmed this
to be the sunniest day on
record.
Prepare yourselves for a
sunny day, come and enjoy
olde tyme activities such as
watermelon seed spitting,
horseshoes, sheaf tossing,
cow milking. quilt making
and Canadian trivia.
The entertainment line-
up is second to none. The
gates will open at 9:30 a.m.
to the entertaining music of
the Playter Players. At
10:40 a. m. the children's
parade will arrive led by
the Kleinburg Bolton Pipe
Band and the 48th
Highlanders of Canada
Junior Pipe Band.
The festival is very for-
tunate this year to have
Helena and her Magical
Basket to entertain the
young at heart. Helena
works a very special magic
with the children through
the treasures in her magic
basket.
In the children's area,
behind the PetroCan sta-
tion, will be a petting zoo,
crafts, face painting,
clowns, magicians, jug-
glers and more.
Headlining the entertain-
ment this year is none
other than our favourite
Don Herron as "Valerie
Rosedale". To compliment
Don, is the Dance Festival,
which includes the dances
of Scotland, Crete, Poland
and Ontario.
Juggler Craig Douglas is
back for his third year
along with magician
Robert Ross, York Region
Youth Orchestra, the
Taylor Made Trio, Dave
Hoy & his Honky Tonk
Piano and the festival's
own Denise Matthews to
make this a day of enter-
tainment that should not be
missed.
The finale to this wonder-
ful day will be a street
dance made to order with
the wonderful music of the
French Connection.
The artisans and crafters
will be in atttendance
displaying their unique
wares and, as always, the
prices are very reasonable
for that perfect gift you've
been looking for.
While you're enjoying the
festival, don't forget to pur-
cahse a raffle ticket on a
beautiful quilt done in
shades of blue, brick and
off-white and hand quilted
by the ladies of Kleinburg.
Everything is wheelchair
accessible. The refresh-
ment garden is in a shaded
area behind the Royal
Bank and there is a very
peaceful and quiet rest
area in the garden behind
the Manna Gallery.
Gates open at 9:30 a.m.
and admission is $5 for
adults and $3 for seniors.
Children under 12 are free
as are all in period
costume.

What must it be like to be
's Worlds
illiterate we wonder; what
must it be like to stumble
through life unable to
understand the simplest of
instructions in an increas-
ingly technalized (new
word) world? Worst of all,
what must it be like not to
be able to enjoy the
pleasure of books for infor-
mation and simple enjoy-
ment of the writer's craft?
Perhaps some answers
will be forthcoming this
Saturday when Channel
11-CHCH-TV airs Flight for

Plummer the show pro -
raises to offer provocative
insight into the crucial
issue of universal literacy
with special attention to a
very real problem in
Canada.
Among those making ap-
pearances on the program
will be Governor General
Ray Hnatyshyn ( that spell-
ing doesn't look correct to
us but it's the way we've
taken it from the press
release), Linda Sorensen,
Marc Garneau and Megan
Follows.
Flight for Freedom will
also feature the debut of
the literacy Word Bird, an
animated bird formed from
the letters of international
alphabets. It will be seen in
public service an-
nouncements and appear
on a commemorative
stamp to be issued this fall.
As the children prepare
to return to school for
another year it behooves
all of us to watch Flight for
Freedom -it airs at 9
p.m. -and learn from it.
Now, perhaps we may be
allowed a comment on the
problem of illiteracy in
Canada. It seems to us that
part of the problem lies in
the continuance of those
abominable heritage
classes in the public school
system. Certainly, the
young ones should be
aware and proud of their
heritage but let them be
made aware of it in the
home or in private schools.
Don't expose them to an
educational overload that

IN PRINT:
Marshall McLuhan once
considered writing a
musical comedy,
specifically a musical com-
edy about media. He would
have used the format of A
Chorus line which had im-
pressed him and have the
various media take the role
of dancers and explain
themselves to the au-
dience. Television, for ex-
ample. would explain how
it nearly destroyed
baseball and then revived
it through the technique of
instant replay.
He fought with Woody
Allen to include the lure
"You think my fallacy is all
wrong?" in the motion pic-
ture Annie Hall.
He attacked the sex
manual Show Me, which he
detested, not on moral
grounds but on
metaphysical grounds.
These are only a few of
the interesting inclusions in
Marshall McLuhan, The
Medium and the
Messenger by Philip Mar-
chand (Vintage Books).
Mr. McLuhan is con-
sidered by many to be the
most popular -in the word's
literal sense -intellectual in
Canada's history. We
would have thought Pierre
Trudeau but only time will
tell who will be best
For the forseeable
future, however, Marshall
McLuhan will be
remembered as the man
who first made people
aware of the power that lies
behind media of expres
sion.
It was he who pointed out
that former U.S. President
Nixon was handicapped by
his name. The sound of
..nix" had a highly unfor-
tunate subliminal effect on
his audiences. Wonder
what comment Mr.
McLuhan might have made
about our surname.
While on a Canadian
theme, more or less, one
should mention Whistle
Stop -A Journey Across
Canada by George Galt
(Faucett Crest).
As the title implies this is
a journal of the crossing of
Canada by rail.
The helluvit is, however,
that it is no longer possible
to make a complete
journey across Canada
from Atlantic to Pacific by
rail. Progress you know.
While sad, it doesn't real-
ly matter in so far as the
impact of the book need be
concerned. What we have
here is a collection of the
author's thoughts and
observances about Canada,
the real Canada, the one
that we must remind
ourself exists outside of
Toronto.
Toronto is a fine city, cer-
tainly the best in Canada,
possibly in North America,
maybe even the world. But,
it is not Canada and one
needs a book such as whis-
tle stop to remind us of the
fact.
George Galt is no
Richard Halliburton -he
lacks the romanticism that
Mr. Halliburton could in-
fuse into even the most
mundane -but he is a
critical observer of people
and their circumstances as
witness these in Regina.
"Later, on Rose Street, I
saw the Indian hookers
(sic), some of them young
girls. And, the drunks. I
had imagined a morally
neater place. This was the
province where Canadian
medicare (again sic) had
been conceived and first
put into practice .. how lit-
tle could be learned about
contemporary natives
from conventional Cana-
dian histories."
Certainly we recommend
Whistle Stop to all who are
interested in Canada and
hope to learn more about it
before Manifest Destiny
becomes a reality but a
caution is extended, you
might find it just a tad
depressing.
How much of what might
have been we have
squandered away'
BALLET NEWS:
Tonight it's Le Don Des
Etoiles at The O'Keefe. A
conflict of commitments
prevents our attendance
but we can warrant it will
be a memorable evening.
Meanwhile, the National
Ballet has announced a
brace of fust rate appoint-
ments.
Ormsby Wilkins has been
appointed as Music Dwec-
tor and Principal Conduc-
tor of the company. His
prior experience has been
most extensive and one had
surely been aware of his
conducting skills in the few
appearances we have seen
of him. Contrary to what
seems to be a popular
perception, conducting for
Mallet is one of the more dif-
ficult of musical
challenges. Mr. Wilkins
will. we are sure be more
than equal to the task and,
we predict, will bring back
the glory days of George
Crum and the late John
Goss.
Julie Drake succeeds
Gregory Patterson as
Director of Public Rela-
tians and takes up her
duties on Sept. 17th. Miss
Drake has been with the
Young People's Theatre
since 1982 and had prior ex-
perience in promotion and
tour coordination in both
music and dance.
Ms. Drake will be
assisted by Jay Stinson.
Congratulations to all.
Nice to have you aboard.
ART SEEN:
Our readers to the west
of us will be pleased to at-
tend the Official Opening of
the 22nd Annual
CKOC K103 Arts Hamilton
Exhibition. That's at the
Art Gallery of Hamilton,
123 King St. E. on Sept.
13th.
Does Mel Lastman
realize there is no art
gallery in North York?
SPORTS NOTE:
So George -Ding Dong -
Bell is sounding off about
non-performance by other
members of the Blue Jays.
Delicious isn't it? Here's a
man who was directly
responsible for the
dismissal of Jimy Williams
because he didn't like him
and wouldn't put out for
him. And, he has the nerve
to criticize other players?
Hell, even Domaso Garcia
expressed himself by burn-
ing his jersey rather than
his fellow players.
Oh well, wait till next
year. This season is finish-
ed for the brew birds as
they once again choke up.
Cito Gaston will be
dismissed, not because he
isn't a good manager but
because he won't "kick
ass". Bobby Cox who has
worn out the patience of
Atlanta management will
come back to Toronto and
he'll bring Jimy Williams
with him.
Of course Bell won't play
for any team that dares
hire a man he doesn't like
so he will depart . . for
Atlanta. Good riddance we
say.
Remember where you
read that.
FAST EXIT:
No one should be denied a
livelihood because of race,
creed or religion. Agreed.
Neither however, should
anyone be guaranteed
employment simply
because of race. creed or
religion.
The Staff
At Carswell
Studios
Carswell Studios, under
the direction of James
Carswell, has the flavour of
West Hill and a sprinkling
of Pickering. Of the six
tutors. five hail from West
Hili and one from Picker-
ing. All of them teach "at
home" in a relaxed, homey
atmosphere. All of them
are in some way involved
in community affairs.
Take for instance Renate
Donovan who is an assis-
tant in the Department of
Computer Training at
Centennial College. She is
also active in the recycling
movement which she
started in West Hill.
Renate is a specialist in
Piano, her studio is on
Acheson Ave., from where
she has been teaching for
the last three years.
For the last two years
Sandy Hale has been
associated with Carswell.
Her profession as an
English teacher at West
Hill Collegiate, and as
physical education pro-
gram organizer for Scar
borough parks and recrea-
tion is testimony to her in-
volvement in public af-
fairs. Her location is
Closson Dr. in West Hill.
Linda Meyer of
Starspray Ave., West Hill
specializes in voice train-
ing for the studio, in duos,
trios and solo work, and is
well-known both in Picker-
ing and West Hill. She is a
practising registered nurse
and has been with Carswell
for two years.
A very bright and friend-
ly teenager, a former top
student at Pickering Col-
legiate, Lara Boudignon,
adds both talent and
youthfulness to the team of
Carswell Studio instruc-
tors. Besides being a great
sportswoman, she works
extensively with children
in summer. She teaches on
Bronte Square in Picker-
ing.
Welcomed to the studio
this year is Anthony
Racioppa, a very talented
instrumentalist who
teaches itinerant music in
four schools for the Metro
Separate School Board. He
will be teaching all in-
strumental subjects, in-
cluding percussion and key
boards at his studio on Sat-
chel] Dr.

The funding, to be issued

The project will educate
the Black community

Bowlerama Gets Computerized Scoring
Bowlerama Ltd.,
Canada's leading operator
of bowling centres, is in-
troducing a new, state-of-
the-art computerized scor-
ing system to four of its
centres this fall.
The Mendes Futura
System, developed and
manufactured in Canada,
offers both five and tenpin
scoring from one central
computer. It will be up and
running just in time for the
start of the fall bowling
season, right after Labour
Day weekend, at Bathurst
and Cedarbrae
Bow•leramas in Metro
Toronto, Oakville
Bowlerama and Mohawk
.Bowlerama in Brantford.
Five Pin Advantage
"Five pin bowling is a
uniquely Canadian game,"
says Jack Fine, President
of Bowlerama. "Most
automatic scoring systems
are made in the United
States and are used only for
tenpin bowling. The Futura
System, which is made in
Canada, will bring com-
puterized scoring to many
five pin bowlers for the
first time. -

Golfers By Royal LePage
Scholarships valued at
up to $4,000 each have been
awarded to outstanding
academic achievers and
junior golfers for the
19W 91 academic year, the
Canadian Golf Foundation
and Royal LePage Real
Estate Services Ltd. has
announced.
The scholarships are
awarded to Canadian
students who graduate
from high school or are at-
tending university or col-
lege. To qualify, each reci-
pient must be an excep-
tional academic achiever,
an excellent golfer and ac-
tive in school and com-
munity affairs. Hundreds
of students have applied to
the scholarship program
since it was implemented
in 19W -
Royal LePage is the prim
cipal sponsor of the pro-
gram, having committed
$300.000 over a six-year
period. The grant has
enabled the Foundation to
quadruple the number of
scholarships awarded an-
nually to young Canadians
attending university as
undergraduates.
The scholarship program
also receives financial
assistance from the Royal
Canadian Golf Association
( The Canadian Open) , The
Canadian Ladies' Golf
Association, The Canadian
Golf Industry Association
and individuals.
"Ibe calibre of the young
people entering the
Scholarship Program and
those who are maintaining

adds Mr. Fine. "It's one of
the most user-friendly
scoring systems available.
We have a lot of children
bowling five pin in our cen-
tres and computerized
scoring will make it much

Scoring is controlled
from a console located on
the lanes, where bowlers
enter their names and start
the game by following sim-
ple instructions. Scores ae
displayed on the consoles
and on colour monitors
located above each lane.
Increasing Bowling's
Popularity
When it was fust in-
troduced in the '80'5-,
automatic scoring
represented the first major
innovation in bowling since
automatic pinsetters
replaced pinboys in the
1950s. The installation of
the new system means that
nine of Bowlerama's 21
centres in Ontario now of-
fer computerized scoring -
with five centres offering it
to five pin bowlers.
"Computerized scoring
increased bowling's
popularity significantly,"
asserts Mr. Fine. "People
feel that scoring is too com-
plicated. They enjoy the
game more when they can
relax and have fun without
worrying about how to keep
score..'
Industry Leader

Fish & Wildlife Political Concern
No political party has an-
nounced an increased com-
mitment to the environ-
ment through fish and
wildlife issues, despite the
obvious lack of funding for
ecological nightmares such
as zebra, mussels and pur-
ple loosestrife, the Ontario
Federation of Anglers and
Hunters (OFAH) said
recently.
Pointing to a history of
underfunding, OFAH ex-
ecutive vice-president Rick
Morgan said the next On-
tario government must im-
prove fiscal management
relating to fish and wildlife.
If changes are not made
quickly, the province's
natural resources will be at
risk well before the year
2000, Morgan said.
The Ontario Ministry of
Natural Resources recent-
ly announced a spate of
building projects worth a
combined $17.1 million,
Morgan said. (A $9.8
million visitor's centre for
Algonquin Park, a $4.5
million visitor's centre for
Old Fort William and a $2.8
million building in
Nipigon ).
Although tens of
thousands will attend new
visitor's centres, more
than three million On-
tariars fish or hunt each
year, Morgan said. "We
are anxiously waiting for a
party to promise a higher
priority for fish and
wildlife," he added.
No party has announced
proposals to deal with ma-
jor environmental
catastrophes such as zebra
mussels and purple
loosestrife, two exotic in-
truders from Europe that
threaten to decimate fish
and wildlife habitat. Zebra
mussels have spread
across much of the Great
Lakes in two short years
and threaten inland fish
habitat. Purple loosestrife
is destroying wetlands

across Ontario, disrupting
dozens of fish and wildlife
species.
Morgan said the province
has historically underfund-
ed fish and wildlife
management in Ontario.
This has to change im-
mediately," he said. "The
competing parties have to
realize that the people of
Ontario will no longer be
happy with glossed -over
solutions. Each party's
success will increasingly
be connected to its ability
to budget properly, and
manage, environmental
and fish and wildlife
issues."
The OFAH does not sup-
port any specific party, but
has urged its 73,000
members to consider
carefully local candidates'
stands on relevant en-
vironmental matters
before casting a vote,
Morgan said.
The OFAH is Ontario's
largest provincial conser-
vation group.

Fisons' headquarters,
Joseph Knott, President of
the Canadian company and
a 17 -year veteran of the
Canadian pharmaceutical
business, outlined details of
Fisons' current activities
in Canada, and the bring-
ing together of two cor-
porations over the past two
years during the integra-
tion of Pennwalt Phar-
maceuticals and Fisons'
earlier operations.
The building. at 1851
Sandstone Manor in
Pickering, was officially
opened on Aug. 28th by Mr.
Fothergill, Mr. Knott and
Pickering Mayor Wayne
Arthurs.
The 57.000 square foot
building includes a new
17,000 square foot addition.
The building houses
Fisons' current 90 head of-
fice employees and ad-
ministration. sales,
marketing, packaging,
quality control, as well as
plant and laboratory opera-
tions. The new addition in-
cludes space for the Cana-
dian research and develop-
ment expansion.
Pickering Mayor Wayne
Arthurs told guests at the
opening that "The opening
we are celebrating today is
another indication of the
importance of
municipalities welcoming
business. In Pickering, we
are very proud of Fisons'
choice of our community as
its home '
[.)outing back on the past.
Knott told guests at the
headquarter's opening, "In
October 1968 everything
still had to be done. Fisons
and Pennwalt were one
company only in a legal
sense. In human terms, we
were still a collection of in-
dividuals looking for direc-
tion. -'
-'Two years later," he
told the audience, "we
have a new headquarters
building, growth that has
exceeded our expectations,
exciting new products, and
a strong team of people
who are happy to accept
the challenge of the 90's.'
Fothergill congratulated
the Canadian employees,
saying "The strength of the
Canadian company is its
management team and all
the employees that work
with them. We are commit-
ted to Canada, and to fur-
ther research and develop-
ment."
"But Fisons is a prac-
tical business," he con-
tinued. "and we are in-
vesting in Canada because
we know that the country
has the scientists, research
specialists. medical and
pharmaceutical experts
that justifies our con-
fidence."
Fisons is best known in
Canada for its range of
prescription products for
people with respiratory
ailments. Sodium
cromoglycate was in-
troduced in Canada by

Visitors To Kissimmee
St. Cloud Keep Returning
Quiet creeks lined with
towering cypress trees, an-
cient oak trees draped with
lacy mantels of Spanish
Moss, country roads win-
ding through pastures of
grazing horses and cattle,
lakeside parks for a stroll
in the warm, breezy
moonlight... not what you
would expect, in the middle
of the world's most popular
vacation destination. But
this is what visitors to the
Kissimmee -St. Cloud
Resort Area find, and it br-
ings them back, year after
Year.
Beautiful scenery and
small-town alarm is really
not what attracts people to
Kissimmee -St. Cloud in the
first place. What attracts
them is the resort area's
location - right at the en-
trance to the Walt Disney
World Resort, and close to
all of the attractions in Cen-
tral Florida, including Sea
World, Cypress Gardens,
Boardwalk and Baseball,
Spaceport USA and many
more.
Kissimmee -St. Cloud
also offers visitors the con-
venience of a Large selec-
tion of hotels, with more
than 19,000 rooms. There
are more than 350
restaurants in Kissimmee -
St. Cloud in addition to 31
campgrounds and fishing
camps, with more than
6,000 campsites.
Despite all these "big -
city" amenities, the
neighbouring cities of
Kissimmee and St. Cloud
have not lost the at-
mosphere of southern
hospitality and warmth
typical of a rural Florida
community. Main street in
Kissimmee, housing a
variety of shops, has
changed little in ap-
pearance throughout the
years. The old Courthouse,
built in ISM, the Arcade
Theatre, built in 1925, and
Makinson's Hardware
Store, built in 1896, are still
in use today.
Annual special events,
including the Silver Spurs
Rodeo, Kissimmee
Bluegrass Festival, the
Kissimmee Boat -A -Cade
and autumn art festivals,
give visitors a feel for the
traditions and history of
the area.
There are also several
other local attractions
which add to the selection
of things to do ... Medieval

Kissimmee is located on
the fourth largest lake in
Florida, Lake
Tohopekaliga. Known as a
splendid bass -fishing site,
the lake also offers ex-
cellent boating oppor-
tunities. Throughout the
year, fishing guides are
available, providing boat
and tackle, as well as their
expert knowledge of the
lakes best fishing areas.
For visitors driving down
without hotel reservations,
the Kissimmee -St. Cloud
Resort Area has a free ac-
commodation reservation
centre in Lake City,
Florida, the first major ex-
it on I-75 after crossing the
state line. At this point,
visitors can select accom-
modations from the infor-
mation at the reservation
centre, using toll-free
telephones to make a reser-
vation.
They can also receive
directions from Lake City
to their selected hotel,
eliminating any problems
finding a place to stay once
arriving in Central Florida.
All in all, the Kissimmee -
St. Clopud Resort Area has
a lot to offer, including
plentiful and conomical
rooms conveniently located
to all of Central Florida's
attraction, both natural
and man-made.

Hong Kong - Old And New
by Pete McGarvey
The name Hong Kong
always rings in my inner
ear like an Oriental gong in
the middle of a symphonic
work. It conjures up
shivery images. It foretells
marvels and mysteries and
wonders unlimited.
As my Canadian Airlines
flight swung in over the
apartment blocks of
Kowloon Tong and dropped
toward the main runway of
Kai Tak Airport, the gong
sounded deep inside me
again. Twenty years
earlier, almost to the day, I
underwent the same
reverberation on the same
approach path. Hong Kong.
Let the excitement roll'.
At first glance the excite-
ment has everything to do
with the dynamic west, not
the mysterious east. On the
short ride from the airport
to my hotel in Kowloon, I
glimpsed a nest of
Manhattan - style
skyscrapers to the left, ris-
ing from the water's edge
on Hong Kong Island. They
weren't there twenty years
ago. We swept past the vast
New World hotel and shop-
ping complex and newly
opened Hong Kong Cultural
Centre and Aquarium. The
turn to Nathan Road, I was
sure, would bring me back
to the "old" Hong Kong. I
went bargain hunting here
two decades past, canvass-
ing scores of stops for the
best price I could get on a
Sony cassette recorder, a
Seiko watch and an Olym-
pus Pen camera. At the end
of two days I had all three
and change from one hun-
dred dollars... U.S.
The "old" )`long Kong
lives on today in side
streets off Nathan Road.
It's a mad confusion of
signs. delectable aromas
from roadside cafes, mill-
ing crowds and a
cacophony of voices, street
noises and car horn. The
sidestreet merchants still
haggle and still offer duty-
free buys on electronics,
cameras, watches, suits
and jewellery. Today,
though, the camera that
cost a quarter of the North
American price in 1970 is

Visitors flock nere .rf,m
everycorner of the
globe ...
for both business
and pleasure. Pleasure can
mean everything from a
day visit to Ocean World,
the lavish oriental answer
to a -North American theme
park, to fuxhng a precious
piece of jade in an off-
street shop in Tsim Sha
Tsui. It can mean exploring
a Buddhist temple on Lan -
tau Island, riding the Star
Ferry or gazing at the
green rice paddies of Red
China from a lookout at
Lok Ma Chau.
But for this correspon-
dent Hong Kong's best, and
least expensive, treasures
are to be found in its seven
thousand restaurants. Two
particular meals stand out.
Dinner at the Hyatt Regen-
cy's posh Chinese
Restaurant began with
fried king prawns and
scallops in a chili -style
sauce and ended with a
fresh fruit salad. In bet-
ween were deep-fried stuff-
ed crab claws, steamed
squash with abalone, fish
maw and mushroom, stir -
fried beef with asparagus
and a soup of which the
taste lingers on my palate
even as I write.
In contrast to the quiet
refinement of the Hyatt,
the Peking Restaurant at
the harbourfront is all hus-
tle, bustle, clash and clat-
ter. All classes of Honk
Kong business and social
life meet here and, nine
times out of ten, Peking
Duck is the main dish.
Small wonder. No
restaurant in town does it
better...the crackling skin
and the dark meat melting
deliciously in a secret
sauce. Steve Won, of the
Hong Kong Tourist
Association, was my host
that night, pointing out not
just the subtleties and con-
trast in Peking dishes, but
also the underlying .'yin"
and "yang" philosophy. the
hot and cold strew of
ageless Chinese wisdom.
Hong Kong is a total ex-
perience. When you go. just
park your diet on the shelf
and pack a hearty appetite
along with your camera
and sturdy walking shoes.
You'll need them all.

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 Trust Realtor.
