At Ottawa it is time to straighten out the native peoples, the national debt, the high interest rates driving us into a recession etc. etc. At Queen's Park we could use a government which gives grants to local municipalities for all those projects into which the provincial government forced the local councils.

At local governments we need cost cutting council members to keep up the attack on their budgets so that we don't have to brag that we are the highest taxed folks in the world!

September 19, 1990 Bill Watt's Worlds DINNER THEATRE: Rupert Holmes is not as yet a household word as a playwright. Most readers will know him best as the composer and singer of the Pina Colada Song which was a major hit a few years ago. Less will recall him as the author of Drood. That's the musical based on Charles Dickens' last and uncompleted novel. In it the audience is given the choice of several endings. Accomplice, now playing at Stage West, is not a musical but Mr. Holmes has given it some of the flavour -mystique maybe -of Drood. Certainly it's a mystery both on stage and as we sit here at the old Smith Corona trying to decide how best to describe it. You see, if we describe the play in too much detail we will destroy the impact of this comedy -mystery - thriller. Without the second act surprise. Accomplice is ineffective. With surprise, it almost stuns. Put bluntly, the first act seems so amateurish that one can hardly believe the performances. The play seems good but the acting and direction are dreadful.

Here's a little bit of a hint though. In a cast of four -or is it five? -there are three "murders" but only one of them real. Go figure. We can tell you that Ac- complice has many funny lines - "Come again Darl- ing?". "Not since our hone-vmoon.". "I feel the fool, as the king said on discovering the court jester in his bed" -and funnier situations. The lines are delivered and the situa- tions exploited with great skill by a cast that is better than it first appears to be. And now, we are faced with the problem of describing that cast. To mention individual roles is to give away the basic premise of Accomplice. Still each member deserves mention and praise. so here goes. Juliet Mills is the nominal lead and performs her role of murderess man- quk with as much bit- chiness as that aspect of her role demands. And. although now past the first bloom of youth, she looks most fetching in a red, satin shift. Paul Del Gatto apparent- ly over acts as a bisexual philanderer, as does David Brown playing a supposed cuckold. Ian Deakin is listed on the cast roster and is effective as a de facto chorus even though he is supposedly being replaced by his understudy, Mr. Del Gatto. Confusing? You bet. Want more confusion? Consider young Melodee Finlay. She is supposed to play the role of a lesbian bimbo with great uh . mammaries. Truth to tell, she's really not full busted at all but much is made of a scene requiring her to bare her breast. Does she? You'll have to go see Ac- complice to find out. You'll also have to take our word for it that you will enjoy it. We repeat that we cannot divulge the plot twist, we can only repeat that you must not leave at the end of the first act even though you might feel so in. clined. As usual the buffet at Stage West is bountiful and tasty. We particularly recommend the Grilled Breast of Chicken with Lemon -Melissa cream and crevettes. Llcullan. CERTAIN CALL: Stage West is bringing back the popular Saturday Chiktren's Matinees star- ting Sept. 29th and running consecutive Saturdays through until Oct. 13th. Doors open at 11:30 a.m. for luncheon and the special entertainment begins at 1 p.m. featuring clowns and tricksters. Great for birthday celebrations. Call Stage West for suggested reser. vations. SECOND CERTAIN CALL: During the running of Ac- complice, the word Callanetics is used. It refers to the body shaping, deep muscle exercises that are the current fad in the world of exercise. If you wish to know more about there we suggest Callenetics Countdown, 30 Days to a Beautiful Body ( Random House) . It's writ- ten by Callan Pinckney who has given the exer- cises her name. It's an interesting and presumably helpful book but we're still trying to figure out what is meant by Triple Slow Motion. AROUND 'DOWN: Here are a trio of seem- ingly unrelated items for your consideration. This Sunday, Channel 11 presents Billy Crystal: Midnight Train to Moscow. Among the characters he will present are Billy Bushkie singing Don't Worry, Be Happy and Barry Pagan, a Hollywood "Consultant" attempting to create a theme park to be called Lenin Land. Lullaby of Lenin Land anyone? Beat you to it Slotek! From Sept. 29th to Oct. 19th, Toronto will be hosting the annual Close Up of Japan. This is a presentation of the best Japanese contemporary performing artists. Performance sites are Premier Dance Theatre, Roy Thomson Hall, Ryer- son Theatre and Thomson Hall.

CERTAIN CALL: Stage West is bringing back the popular Saturday Chiktren's Matinees star- ting Sept. 29th and running consecutive Saturdays through until Oct. 13th. Doors open at 11:30 a.m. for luncheon and the special entertainment begins at 1 p.m. featuring clowns and tricksters. Great for birthday celebrations. Call Stage West for suggested reser. vations. SECOND CERTAIN CALL: During the running of Ac- complice, the word Callanetics is used. It refers to the body shaping, deep muscle exercises that are the current fad in the world of exercise. If you wish to know more about there we suggest Callenetics Countdown, 30 Days to a Beautiful Body ( Random House) . It's writ- ten by Callan Pinckney who has given the exer- cises her name. It's an interesting and presumably helpful book but we're still trying to figure out what is meant by Triple Slow Motion.

" "This collborative fun- ding initiative will give an important boost to univer- sity research on topics vital to people living in the Great Lakes region, and will br- ing the valuable contribu- tion of the university com- munity to efforts being pur- sued under the federal government's Great Lakes Action Plan," she added. "The academic com- munity welcomes the federal contribution to university research on the Great Lakes. This will make it possible to expand university research pro- grams into areas that need urgent attention, and to support more actively the federal programs for restoring the Great lakes to environmental health," said Dr. Doug Haffner, Chairman of the Great Lakes University Research Network. The joint Environment Canada'NSERC funding was negotiated under the NSERC Research Partner- ships program. Through this program, NSERC and federal government departments co-operate in finding university -based Scarborough Centre M.P. Pauline Browes has announced, on behalf of Environment Minister Robert R. de Cotret and Science Minister William Winegard, the establish- ment of a $4 million univer- sity research fund for the study of Great Ickes en- vironmental problems and solutions. The Great Lakes Umver- sity Research Fund, which is supported by Environ- ment Canada and the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC), will fund university -based studies aimed at a wide range of Great Lakes en- vironmental concerns. Potential research pro- jects include: determining the movement of pollutants between air, water, sediments and living organisms in the Great Lakes Ecosystem, and the means for controlling this movement; studying ef- fects of toxic chemicals on Great Lakes ecosystems; examining the impacts of contaminated sediments, contaminated groundwater and airborne toxics, and developing control strategies for them; and developing environmental- ly responsible strategies for controlling species such as zebra mussels and their effects on aquatic ecosystems and a wide range of water users. "These resources for university -based research will help Canada meet its commitments under the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement with the United States, said Pauline Browes. "As stated in the Green Plan discussion document, this government intends to strengthen its Robin Karson Addresses Fine Art Of Garden Design Gardening and its related activities is being explored from many angles as interest in Canada's most popular leisure time hobby mounts. Hor- ticulturists, botanists, landscape architects, ar- tists, art historians, writers and gardeners have each contributed to forming a basis of study for this popular topic - On Wed Sept. 26th at 7:30 p.m. The Civic Garden Centre, 777 Lawrence Ave. E. ( located in Edwards Gardens) will have Robin Karson, contributing editor to Garden Design and Landscape Architecture magazine and author of Fletcher Steele, L.A., An Accaart of the Garden - makers Life 1x85 -1971, as a - speaker Robin is a young woman from the Boston area with a Masters degree in History of Fine Art. Following a conference in Rochester New York, 1989, Robin has undertaken a series of lectures on Flet- cher Steele. Fletcher Steele was a garden maker, a writer and lecturer. As a garden maker he produced over 700 gardens in his 60 year practice in New York, Massachusetts and the Eastern seaboard Often brilliant, and always original, Steele's work was considered by many to be the essential link between 19th century Beaux -Art for- malism and modern land- scape design. Steele was the early champion of com- fort and efficiency in suburban gardens and gained the reputation as gardener extraordinaire,a great artist working with great ideas. As part of its regular pro- gramming, The Civic Garden Centre presents a well known speaker in the field of gardening each month. Admission is $4 and refreshments are served immediately following the program - War On Cancer Needs More Generals In an effort to continue to meet the needs of cancer patients and raise public awarness about cancer prevention the Canadian Cancer Society (Ontario Division) is holding its first-ever Volunteer Outreach Project during the week of Sept. 1622. Using the slogan "The War On Cancer Needs More Generals", the intent of the project is to attract new people into the society's army of volunteers. Currently, the Canadian Cancer Society has 100,000 volunteers in Ontario who, in addition to raising funds for cancer research, work on support programs for cancer patients and educa- tion programs to raise awareness about cancer prevention and early detec- tion. However, in recent years the Society's volunteer base has been on the decline due to an increas- ing number of other volunteer -based orgamza- tions and a decrease in volunteerism in general. "We have to compete with other groups for Peo- ple's leisure time," accor- ding to Ron Bull, Chairman of Ontario Division's Plan- ning and Volunteer Development Committee. "And since volunteers are the lifeblood of all our pro- grams, their continued suc- cess demands that we con- tinue to attract new people-" The need for additional volunteers is especially critical in the society's pa- tient services program because the incidence of certain types of cancer is on the increase. An estimated 104,000 new cases will be diagnosed this year in Canada and, in their lifetimes, about one in three Canadians can ex- pect to develop some form of the disease.

Community Sports Notes SCCA Trans -Am Weekend At Mosport by Jerry Hudson The 'SCCA Trans -Am weekend was held at Mosport Park on Sept. 8/9, and it provided the venue for lasf year's Trans -Am champion Dorsey Schroeder of St. Louis, MP to win his only race so far this season. Just to demonstrate the vagaries of motor -racing Schroeder took 6 wins las{ Cto easily win the title, but until now he couldn't seem to buy a victory in the series. His No. 1 Whistler/Ford Mustang gained the lead on lap 22 of the 50 -lap event, and was never headed. Coming in 2nd was the No. 5 Neo Life %Olds Cutlass Supreme of Los Gatos, C s Darin Brassfield followed to the chequer; cd flag by local driver Ron Fellows on his No.47 Mackenzie Financial Ser- vices Ford Mustangin 3rd. Mustangs took 3 of the topp 4 finishing positions as Fin- nish driver Robert Lap- palainen came in 4th driv- ing his beautifully prepared black and gold JPS entry. Fellows did better in sup- porting race action winn- ing the Rothmans Porsche 944 run shortly after theevent, ns- Am, in fine fashion. Never seriously challenged, the Mississauga driver was followed home b_yy Richard Sppeenard and Thornhill's $;avid Tennyson who took 2nd and 3rd respectively. The No. 69 Castrol /Newmarket Honda Civic of Toronto's Lee T. Hobbs came from lith place on the grid to take 2nd in the Jos. Louis / Hon - neat. liriving a supero race, Hobbs had earlier in the day complained of a lack of horsepower in his Civic, but replacing a small curt on the car ured the problem. obviously The race was won by Quebecer Normand Boyer, who now trails Dr. Marc Dancose's 2350 series points by 100. Hobbs is in 3rd with 1610 points with one race to go at Le Circuit in Mont-Tremblant, PQ on Sept. 29 30. And still with the closed - wheeled machinery, the Players LTD. GM series win and the series' cham- pionship was taken by 5hannonville's Richard Spenard on the No. 42. Motomaster Trudeau Motors Camaro. As usual, once Spenard gains the lead in a 20 -lap sprint -race, he's virtually unbeatable. Second -place went to Ux- bridge's Doug Beatty. Jr., Willowdale's David Empr- ingham took 3rd in Spenard's No.45 compa- nion car. The Beckers /Yokohama Challenge event for open - wheeled Formula Ford 1600's was a melee from the beginning. A crash in turn B on thefirst lap involving 4 cars red-fla ed the race for 1/2 hour. During that in- terval Stratford's Jason McCann used the oppor- tunity to work on his No. 39 Swift on the grid, but that's against the series' rules, and he was sent to the back of the grid for the restart. It pretty much killed his chances for a good finishing position, and the race and the championshipp was taken by the No. 59 SmartfoodVan Dieman of Mississauga's Stephen Adams. "It s been a long hard three years,.. said Adams, on the victory podium after the race. The Export "A" Inc. F2000 contest was won by the No. 78 Shock Wave In- ternational R��e�yynard of Johnstown NY s Bobby Carviile. Although series - leader Jim Nasser of Discovery Bay, CA set the fastest lap at 1:21.358 around the 2.459 mile track he experienced mechanical difficulties and finished well back in 26th spot. The No. 3 '88 Re rd of Scar- borough s Craig Priddle came in 5th.

The Chance To Study Abroad Every year. hundreds of young Canadians take ad- vantage of a unique ex- perience thanks to inter - culture Canada. These young people, between the ages of 15 to 18 live and study in another country during the scholastic year. Interculture Canada is cur- rently in the midst of its recruitment campaign. Young people who like adventure and want to ac- quire new knowledge are urged to apply wihtout delay. Students have the choice of more than 30 destina- tions. For example, they can learn Spanish in Venezuela, German in Switzerland, English in Great Britain, Flemish in Belgium or Russian in the U.S.S.R. There are still several places available for the 1991 winter depar- tures and more than 225 places for the 1991 summer departures. The young people chosen to participate in this pro- gram will live with a host family and study in a local high school. Families have been carefully selected to host students and during their stay, students benefit from the support of a volunteer counselor. The experience young people have abroad is ir- replaceable. And what's more, in acquiring another language, these young peo- ple become sensitive to other cultures and learn to better understand the world around them. The program's participa- tion costs are equivalent to the sum parents normally spend on a teenager in Canada. Financial assistance is also available. Interculture Canada is a non-profit organization whose aim is to promote in- tercultural understanding and international develop- ment. As a member of AFS Intercultural Programs, Interculture Canada is part of the largest student ex- change network in the world.

With a collection of more than 3,300 animals number- ing some 340 species, Busch Gardens is not only one of the largewt zoos and theme parks in North America, but also a special place where a dedicated staff of zookeepers and con- servation educators make learning fascinating and fun. "People are generally fascinated with animals," said Maureen Royal, curator of Conservation In- formation for Busch Gardens. "The earth's wildlife is a treasure for all of us to share. Educating people about animal needs in the wild is our best hope to bolster their dwindling numbers." So Royal and her dedicated staff in Busch Gardens' Conservation In- formation department are constantly creating new ways for visitors to learn about the park's exotic animals. When a pair of koalas on loan from the San Diego Zoo made their home at Busch Gardens, the park's Conservation Information staff with the help of park artist Lynn Ash. designed a set of paintings, each with a story telling of koalas, their history and plight in the wild - These types of infor- mative paintings and other signage throughout the parr make sure inquisitive visitors always have animal facts at their fingertips. Other forms of wildlife education favored by Royal and her staff include a wide variety of question and answer and hands-on op- portunities for park guests. "Being able to have your animal questions answered on the spot or to touch an animal can go a long way to dispelling myths and confu- sion about a species," said Royal. So adjacent to the park's Asian elephant display, reptile area and colorful Bird Gardens area, among others, there are mobile animal carts which bring zoo education directly to visitors. For example, "The Elephant Trunk" is a col- lection of biofacts such as the tusk, skull, hide, teeth and pedicure instruments used to care for the pachyderms. "Wings on Wheels" and ..Rolling Rep - This Space Could Be Yours For $12 PER WEEK Let's Kill The 7% Federal GST 115 tiles" are among other mobile animal information centers staffed by knowledgeable personnel. For that all-important hands-on experience, the park offers unusual oppor- tunities for guests such as "Snakes and More" featur- ing a chance to touch an 18 -foot Burmese python and learn more about lizards, turtles and alligators. And through the art of storytelling - and with the help of live animals, puppets and animal artifacts - Conser- vation Information staff designed the "Animal Tales" area at Busch Gardens where young con- servationists can touch and learn about animals in an outdoor setting. With a myriad of exotic species to choose from, Busch Gardens is a "wild" classroom beckoning students from all age groups - In addition to regular in - park educational oppor- tunities, the Conservation Information department also offers programs on Saturdays and in the sum- mer months. Week-long Zoo Camp sessions, "Safari" classes and even "Junior Zookeeper" classes offer youngsters a chance to learn about con- servation and enjoy many stimulating hands-on ex- periences behind the scenes and throughout the park. "Night Hike" is for adults and kids and in- cludes an eductiooal stroll through the zoo after hours when animals display their nighttime behaviors. Shows at Busch Gardens are also a popular way for visitors to soak up a few "fun facts" while being entertained. The "World of Birds" offers a demonstra- tion of the learning abilities of parrots and the unique adaptations of birds of prey including spectacular free - flight demonstrations. "Dolphins of the Deep.. showcases the beauty and skill of these intelligent mammals. Daily "elephant washes" afford unobstructed view- ing of mothers and babies frolicking together: out- door bottle feedings at the park's Nairobi Field Sta- tions animal nursery pro- vide candid close-ups of baby animals being fed by nursery staff eager to answer any questions about their young charges. And even a tour of Busch Gardens' 60 acre Serengeti Plain either by sleek monorail or by steam locomotive includes an in- formative presentation while visitors relax and view the 500 head of African animals roaming free. "There's no escaping a little wildlife animal educa- tion when you visit Busch Gardens." said Royal. "We know our guests will have fun and hope they take with them the awe we have for Lufthansa For Flights To Berlin Lufthansa has applied to the West German Federal Transport Ministry in Bonn for permission to operate scheduled flights to Berlin. The German carrier is planning services to both Tegel Airport in West Berlin and Schoenfeld Air- port in East Berlin. The applications request eight flights daily to Berlin Tegel from Cologne/Bonn and four flights daily from Frankfurt, Stuttgart, Munich, Dusseldorf and Hamburg beginning with the introduction of the airline's winter schedule on Oct. 28. The airline also requests, at the earliest possible date, additonal flights to Berlin from Nuremberg and Bremen as well as Muenster andior Pader- born. In intra -European air traffic, Lufthansa has ap- plied for flights from Berlin-Tegel to London, Milan and Zurich and from Berlin -Schoenfeld to War- saw, Athens, Brussels, Rome and Instanbul. The European service would begin with severl flights weekly and be substantial- ly expanded in the summer 0( 1991. From the outset. Luf- thansa would also integrate Berlin into its network of intercontinental flights. Applications have been submitted for daily flights between Berlin- Schoenefeld and New York. Subject to negotiations, two flights weekly are to operate to Peking and two to Tokyo. Two weekly con- nections are also planed to Bangkok and one to Singapore, all with stops in Dubai. The airline hopes for speedy approval of its plans so it can include the Berlin flights in its winter timetable Oct. 28. Since it was re-established and began flying again in 1965. Lufthansa has not been able to fly to Berlin because of the Allied Powers' restriction impos- ed in 1945.
