Opinion a page for expression for you and us 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.

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. tDavid Somerville is President of The National Citizens' Coalition I Here and There Cooperative Education Project Students at the Centennial College of Applied Arts and Technology will have the opportunity to combine on-the-job experience with their education, thanks to $200,000 in fun- ding under Employment and Immigration Canada's Cooperative Education program. Cooperative Education is designed to ease students' entry into the workforce by allowing them to bled wort ex- perience with their studies. The program funding will be us- ed to offset administrative costs and pay the salary of the project co-ordinator. Funds To Improve Productivity Ontario Store Fixtures Inc.. of Weston, will receive $25,000 in federal assistance under the Advanced Manufac- turing Technology Application Program (AMTAP).

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. r------------------------------------------- Give A Gift That Lasts A11 Year!

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.

September S. 1990 Bill Watt ON T.V. Your correspondent remembers being taught his letters in Miss Gray's Grade One class in West Toronto. Try as we might, however, we cannot remember actually learn- ing to read. It seems to us that we have always been able to read although the notion is patently ridiculous. It remains however, that we have always loved reading and Will continue to do until sight fails or until we are called to that great Publisher in the sky. 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 Freedom in observation of International Literacy Day.

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.

In Quebec the qualifying "only" should be removed completely. 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.

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. For further information phone 7241463 or 284-9894. Wed.

The funding, to be issued over a three year period, will allow Black CAP to in- stitute longer range and more effective programs for Aids prevention. The project will educate the Black community about Aids issues and HIV infection, as well as train service providers who are working with Blaen people infected with the disease, to make their support ser- vices more culturally ap- propriate. The project will also pro- vide better targeted materials and presenta- tions to people conducting Aids education in 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. - $4000 Scholarships To Jr. 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 their scholarship status can be a source of great satisfaction for all of us. They are winners in every respect and confirm that Canada's youth continue to be one of our most valuable assets," said Royal LePage President George Cormack. "ase young people - academic leaders, golfing champions and respected residents of their com- munities - are unques- tionably Canada's good citizens and leaders of the future. We wish to con- gratulate the winners on their outstanding academic, golf and ex- tracurricular activities," said William Farlinger, President, Canadian Golf Foundation.

ARTTHOMPSON MEN'S HOCKEY 839-4425 Scoring Big With Kids "The Futura System is extremely easy to use," 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 easier for them to play." 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 Bowlerama is recognized as Canada's leader in the sport of bowling. Over 20.000 people bowl regular- ly in organized leagues at Bowlerama centres across Southern Ontario. No mat- ter what the level of exper- tise, from championship class to beginner. Bowlerama offers an ex- ceptional range of organiz- ed activities that all add up to fun, inexpensive enter- tainment. Computerized scoring is also available at these Bowleramas in Metro Toronto: Thorncliffe (five and tenpin). Rexdale ( ten - Let's Kill The GST! Wed. September 5, 1990 THE NEWS/ POST Page 9 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 Star Gazing At Science Centre Astronomer Ivan Semeniuk will be your guide to the galaxy on a tour of the universe, Science Centre -style, Fri.

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.

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.

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 ...

Let's Kill The 7% Federal GST Gatorland Zoo, Ft. Liberty, Arabian Nights, Alligatorland Safari Zoo, Water Mania, Old Town, Little Darlin's, Flying Tigers Warbird Air Museum - each attraction has a unique appeal to visitors to Central Florida. 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.

September 5,19N THE NEWS/POST Page 11 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 Regent Holidays recentiv signed an exclusive con- tract for the MTS Pegasus for Caribbean cruises over the next two winters. Trek Holidays' new brochure "Africa Up Close" features some uni- que tours this year. Includ- ed is a 21 -day outing featur- ing an encounter with mountain gorillas and the pygmies of Zaire. Globus Gateway has something for those of you with more time and a big- ger travel budget. The Asian Panorama package lasts 22 days and visits nine destinations in seven coun- tries. Air Canada is currently offering a seat sale bet- ween Toronto and Los Angeles. It is in effect until June 20th, 1990, and sav- ings over regular economy roundtrip fares adds up to 67% with even better deals for Air Canada Freedom Flyers. Your travel agent has complete details. photo b% Prtr %I likeh to be pr. quarters that .^.. 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.
