October 17,19N Opinion a page for expression for you and us About Quebec Dear Editor Certain French Canadians are playing with Canada, the favouritism all on the side of Quebec. Since 1961. (Convention of the Estates General of French Canada, under the auspices of the St. Jean Baptiste Socie- ty) when resolutions were agreed upon as follows- "to turn Quebec into a sovereign state where French would be the only official language, English-speaking residents would be forced to learn French .. screen immigrants, promote a higher birth rate in Quebec .. also government control of all mass media, especially news agencies and braodcasting . . a Quebec take-over of various fields - foreign relations, defence, transport and communications, all economic af- fairs, broadcasting, health, welfare, labour manpower, im- migration, agriculture, housing and research", Quebec has desired independence but an association with the rest of Canada in an economic union of equals. The above resolu- tions were made with one thought only and that was to give maximum power and favour to Quebec. They have achiev- ed much of the above but they must be stopped from going further in their selfish desires to bleed the nest of Canada! The French Canadians in Quebec and outside of Quebec cannot be totally to blame for this violation of Canadian uni- ty, but if they do nothing about it, they are just as much to blame! The advance of the Roman Catholic religion seems to go hand in hand with the forcing of the French language, especially in Ontario! Our people are continually being separated by the authorizing of separate schools with par- tial religious training allowed in them as opposed to public schools with noire allowed. Until the average Canadian realizes this, irregardless of their faith, we will never have a united people. Boards of Education are not performing their proper function. They farget that they owe their allegiance to us. the taxpayer, not to the government that blackmails them with our money. We must speak up individually and collectively to regain and maintain our rights! Trudeau did not want Quebec to separate because if it did, it would have less power in the federal government. His words were "why have part of Canada when we can have all of it?". Remember Jean Chretien was and is still one of his confidents! True Canadians must take an interest in what has hap- pened and what could happen. If we do not, we will be total subjects of the result. These threats in our society right now could impede the progress and positive evolution of Canada. Democracy is our key note with wisdom and com- mon sense in our overtures. Only by exposing the whole scheme nationwide can we redirect Canada back to bar mony for all and favouritism for none! Fellow Canadians, we have an unrelenting challenge ahead of us' Take time to seek out the verification of the above. Don't be led down the proverbial '-le jardin" path. Ruth Mallory Barrie. Ont. STATFACTS What will Canada's population be like in the century dawning just 10 years from now? Here are some current facts and probabilities according to Statistics Canada demographers. It's true for us both as individuals and as a national population: we're growing older. Statistics Canada figures show that people 65 and over made tip just over 8% of the population in 1971 but this was up to 10.7% by 1996. By 2001, the figure probably will be about 14% As Canada's population ages, the number of "senior" seniors also increases. In turn, this brings a need for more care facilities. From 1971 to 1996, Statistics Canada figures show the proportion of people 75 and over living in institu- tions went from 14% to 20% for women, from 9% to 12% for men. Continuation of the current aging trend will result in a population of about 318,000 seniors needing institutional ac- commodation by the year 2001, according to Statistics Canada figures. This compares with about 143,000 seniors requiring such care in 1986. Since the 1970s, the fertility rate has been below the level where population is maintained at a steady level, Statistics Canada figures show. The rate, the average number of bir- ths over a woman's lifetime, was 1.7 in I.M. ,` K.

Tire For Campaign For the second year in a row. Ontario Hydro is teaming up with a major hardware retailer to bring discount coupons on the purchase of energy saving products to con - Canadian Tire will offer discounts ranging from 50 cents to $2o on the purchase of any of 3D energy saving products bought in their stores from Oct. 1 to 27. A coupon book being distributed province -wide lists the qualifying products - everything from caulking to energy efficient showerheads and microwave ovens. Canadian Tire won its role in this promotion in a tendered competition among major hardware retailers. Contenders were evaluated on factors such as their volume of retail traffic, distribution network and the value of discounts they could offer. Hydro set the kind of products to be included in the promotion -such as light timers -and Canadian Tire chose the specific brand. Canadian Tire and the product manufac- Ontario Hydro Defers Restart Of Hearn Plant A forcast of electricity use over the next three years has led to the deferral of the restart of the R.L. Hearn Thermal Generating Station and the siting of combustion turbine units (CTUs), Ontario Hydro has announced. "A review of the forecasted load growth in electricity use indicates that the additional energy supplied by Hearn and CTUs is not required at this time," said Ken Snelson, On- tario Hydro's manager of Demand/ Supply Integration. Two natural gas units at the Hearn station were schedul- ed to be restarted in late 1991 and proposed CTUs were to be in-service in 19M and 1994. The need for additional genera- tion was based on a forecasted growth in electricity use that is no longer expected to materialize given a slow -down in the economy. Since the Hearn restart and the siting of CTUs were an- nounced in March 1990, revised forecasts have suggested that load growth over the next three years will be from 300 to 700 megawatts less than previously forecasted. The deferrals are the result of a fine-tuning or immediate load forecast and do not affect forecasts of long-term growth. Restarting the Hearn generating station and installing CTUs are two options proposed in Ontario Hydro's proposed Plan balances the future demand and supply of electricity by blending aggressive energy efficiency programs with additional hydro -electric capability, fossil and nuclear generating stations and electricity purchases. The Plan contains a number of scenarios for growth in electricity use and proposes numerous options for meeting that growth. The Hearn re -start and the siting of CTUs are among the op- tions adaptable for meeting growth in the immediate future. "'lire decision to defer both the restart of the Hearn and the siting of CTUs demollistrates the Plan's flexibility in meeting Ontario's changing energy needs," said Snelson. The Plan pacts that over the next 25 years, energy de- mand in Ontario will continue to grow and there will be a need for new supply as well as a need to replace aging generating stations. In keeping with public input received during preparation of the Plan, Hydro is committed to making the best use of existing generating stations, said Snelson. He added that Hearn will again come under serious consideration for restarting if the load forecast increases. Although all of Hearn's eight generating units were mothballed by 1963, electrical equipment at the station con- tinues to be used to regulate electricity voltage in the Toronto area, Snelson said. The =3D million asbestos removal program already underway at the Hearn will continue with an expected carr pletion date of December, 1991. Hearn was also one of six existing generating station sites in southern Ontario considered for the installation of com- bustim turbine units. Environmental studies for these can- didate sites will continue although their in-service dates have been deferred. The other candidate sites being studied are Lennox Generating Station, near Kingston, Lakeview GS in Mississauga, Nanticoke GS near Port Dover, J.C. Kath GS in Windsor. and Lambton GS near Sarnia. Located on Unwin Ave., near the Leslie Street Spit, the eight -unit Hearn statim was built to rum on coal. The first four units, each 100 megawatts in size, went into service between 1951 and 1953. They were recommissioned to nun on natural gas in 1971 and mothballed in 1979 and 1960. Units 5 to 8, each 200 megawatts in sue, want into service in 1960 and 1961. In 1971 and 1972, they were recommissioned to burn either coal or gas. Unit 5 was mothballed in 1990 and units 6 to 8 were mothballed in 1983.

In the 1950's the community was bustling with young families star- ting their lives together after the war, and moving from the "city" to take ad- vantage of a quieter lifestyle and larger lots. By 1951, the Lord family (which by now included three daughters) became a part of Knox United Church where Lucile and Wally are still very active members. Wonderful friendships were made through school and church associations, as well as various other groups, which have lasted through the years - Wally and Lucile have both made significant con- tributions to their com- murtity. When Scarborough Centenary Hospital was opened, it became an impor- tant focus for both of them. Lucile was the first presi- dent of the auxiliary and Wally served on the Board of Directors in various capacities. They are strongly committed to helping others in any way they can. Wally and Lucile enjoy spare time pursuits both in- dependently and together. Some of these include play- ing bridge and socializing with friends and family.

Now that we hopefully have your in- terest, be advised please, of an interesting program to be presented on CHCH- Channel Eleven this Sun- day from 5:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. It is a documentary titled the Hamilton -Ukraine Friendship Games and it documents the cultural and athletic exchange that took place when 24 young athletes from Hamilton visited the Ukrainian city of Uzhgorod for the 19th Annual Children's Friend- ship Games. The Canadian contingent faced athletes from Italy, Spain, Andore, Israel, Switzerland and CZeckoslovakia in swimm- ing, track and field, tennis and table tennis. We haven't had the op- portunity to see the pro- gram in an advance screening but are prepared to recommend it sight un- seen if for no other reason than to voice our approval - for what ever it might be worth -of the concept and idea behind these games. They are what athletic endeavours should be all about .. youngsters com- peting With skill and deter- urination while never forgetting that the games are the thing. There can be only one winner in any competition. That is to say there can be only one declared winner but all contestants should be con- sidered winners simply by qualifying. The Olympic Ideal is now as dead as Avery Brundage but perhaps games of this nature can bring about a resurrection. Good luck to them and good viewing. ]NAME: Juliet Prowse returns to The O'Keefe on October 23rd in the title role of Mame. For those who might not be aware, here is a brief history of the musical. First there was the book, Auntie Mame by Patrick Dennis. (Or was it Dennis Patrick?) It was made into a stage comedy also titled Auntie Mame and it pretty well revitalized the career of Rosalind Russell. It was made into a mo- tion picture again starring Rosalind Russell and was quite successful. Comes along Jerry I Hello Dolly) Herman and Auntie Mame became a musical starring Angela Lansbury. It too became a KALLY'S STEAK i SHRIMPS and '�Snwftd "Cut 10.95 CHEFS PLATTER SPECIAL R s.0. urea.

It bombed simply because it was over produced. We stress that because Mame is an excellent musical. Probably the best known number from it is If He Came Into My Life which was a hit for Edye Gorme. We most certainly look forward to seeing Miss Prowse again. She is a good singer and still one of the best dancers around, with a high kick not seen since the glory days of Charlotte Greenwood. The last time we saw her was at The O'Keefe in a show titled I Do, I Do which was a musical version of The Four Poster. Anyone out there with a long enough memory to recall her leading man? It was Rock Hudson .. and she made him look good Incidentally, Juliet Pro- wse is no stranger to the role of Mame. She played it in the original l,ondon Pro- duction. As the title song says. We Think You're Just Sensa- tional Mame Juliet. AMI.AIM: That's what the con- testants in the Miss Canada Pageant are seeking as the 1991 version goes into high gear. The young beauties meet the media next Monday in a special luncheon at the Radisson Hotel -Don Valley and then it's into a week of high powered activity. We think the contestants should all receive awards for stamina alone. And the media should receive awards for refraining from salivating.

Last Sunday the per- formers were Kristina Marie Guiget from The Phantom of the Opera, Guillermo Silva -Mann and Kirk McMahon with Shak- ing Like a Leaf, his tribute to Danny Kaye. The next show is schedul- ed for Nov. 11th and will star Shari Saunders, Nina Tobias and Thomas Goer from Les Miserables. The guest M.C. will be John Burgess from City TV. That last one we can't quite figure out. We're far better looking than Mr. Burgess and we repeat -did some say "again"? -that we can tap dance. He can't. 1N PRINT: Kirk Douglas' Dance With the Devil ( Random House) is not a bad first novel. Not bad at all. Mind yow we are rather much of the opinion that if this were not Kirk Douglas, the ac- tor, it might not have sur- vived first draft. It did, however, and deserves to do well. Mr. Douglas' writing style is sophomoric but just enough so to make one think in terms of raw talent. There is. for exam- ple. another word for penis rather than the synonym for a rooster. One can say urinate instead of the letter that precedes Q in the alphabet. Hopefully, with more ex- penence and: or less in- dulgent editors his future books will have some polish. Briefly, Dance With the Devil is the story of one Danny Dennison a Hollywood director trying to find artistic fulfillment while hiding the fact that he is Jewish and a survivor of the Holocaust. He has chosen to eschew his Judaism out of fear rather than shame but the former becomes the latter until finally he must come to terms with his destiny. Migawd, now we're star- ting to write like Mr. Douglas! Do not let us dissuade you from reading the book as it is, in the main, en- joyable. We suggest, however, that you might be more comfortable waiting for it in paperback. WORD POWER: 1n German and Yiddish, the word Gansel means "gosling" and thus an inex- perienced youth. The word was picked up around 1900 by U.S. hobos and crooks and acquired the special sense of a youth accompa- nying an older man as a sexual partner. Enter now Dashiell Ham- mett, the first good water Local Teachers Host Recital Pianist Zhanna Gumenyuk, winner of the Ontario Young Artist Competition, will give a recital Sun. Nov. 18th at 2:30 p.m. at North York Central Library auditorium, 5120 Yonge St. This recital is hosted by the Toronto Zone of the Ontario Registered Music Teachers' Association (O.R.M.T.A. ). Ad- mission at the door is $7 for adults. $5 for students and seniors. Gumenyuk, born in Russia, emigrated to Canada at the age of sixteen. She obtained her Bachelor of Musico ( Piano Performance) at the University of Ottawa. She was twice the winner of their Concerto Competition. In 1967 an Ontario Arts Council Scholarship enabled her to study in England where she performed in several cities. Maurice Roche, President of the North Toronto Branch of O. R. M. T. A. will be Master of Ceremonies. The young artist will perform works by Scarlatti, Beethoven and Schumann. This recital is one in a series of six - part of the prize awarded the Gumenyuk in this competition, sponsored by the Canadian Federation of Music Teachers' Association and administered in this province by O.R-M.T.A. Why Should Go To University Why should I go to university? Which university should I go to' Secondary school students will have the op- portunity to explore these and many other questions at the University Informa- tion Program (UIP), hosted by high schools in various areas. Every fall represen- tatives from each of On- tario's 17 degree granting institutions including, Ryerson and the Royal Military College, par- ticipate in the UIP. It is a province wide, collective effort by the universities to provide information to future students. The UIP is a good oppor- tunity for both parents and students to get an overview of academic programs, ad- mission requirements, costs, financial aid, athletic and cultural oppor- tunities. The program can also of "tough guy" crime fic- tion. As a former profes- sional detective, Hammett had a good knowledge of police and came lingo which he used in his writings. Sometimes however, his choice of uninhibited language led him into difficulty with strait-laced editors, like the one who changed "get an erection" in the hard cover edition of The Thin Man to "get excited" in the paperback. Hammett revenged himself by throwing linguistic curves past the editors. A notable one was his use of "gunsel" to describe Wilmer, the help students decide which university is best suited to their needs. The UIP will be held at North Toronto Cl from 1 to 3 p. in. and Branksome Hall, Toronto on Mon. Oct. 29th and Sir Oliver Mowat Collegiate, West Hill from 7:30 to 9:45 p.m. on Tues. Oct. 30th.

Hammett knew better and, no doubt chuckling to himself, had Sam Spade snarl at Gut- man to "Keep that gunsel from me!". The ultimate joke, accor- ding to writer! editor Ellery Queen, came when life im- itated art; real criminals began using -gunnel" to mean -gunman. FAST EXIT: When, we wonder did gun man become gunman? The Turnaround Decade by Lois James The Social Planning Council of Scarborough has announced the theme of its annual public forum mon- thly series for 1990-91 will be "The Turnaround Decade". The term was used by Dr. David Suzuki in his con- clusion of a keynote ad- dress to an environmental conference in Toronto one year ago. Concluding on a positive note, Dr. Suzuki said that if we worked hard to find solutions to the en- vironmental problems fac- ing us, and taught our children to respect the earth, the '90s would be "The Turnaround Decade." In adopting this theme, SPCS will seek to go beyond describing current social, economic and en- vironmental problems and trends, to provide a positive, constructive framework within which solutions may be found. SPCS believes Scar- borough citizens want to assume an active role in changing the ways we relate to the earth, com- munities and each other. Awareness of problems is a step in the right direction, but in the '90s action is needed. Our efforts will determine the fate of future generations.

"You have to be realistic about what your home is worth in relation to other comparable properties which have recently sold or are being offered for sale in the area," Brown states. if you price too low, you'll be doing yourself out of proceeds that should be yours; but if you price too high you will take considerably longer to sell your property, and will undoubtably achieve a lesser amount. By initially pricing the property correctly you can avoid costly, aggravating obstacles." TERMS OF SALE ARE IMPORTANT TOO. Offering a wide variety of financing options is a valuable selling feature, resulting in a wider range of prospective buyers who can qualify to purchase the property, adds Brown. "Increasing the number of prospects in the buying pool not only increases the likelihood of a successful sale, but also shortens the marketing period." In order to set a fair and realistic price for a property, the seller needs to look carefully at the several factors that influence a property's value. "Location is still the Number One factor• but it isn't the only one by any means." says Brown. "You also have to consider current value trends, that is "what's hot and what's not" in home features. Whereas solariums may have been all the rage last year, a European kitchen may be the biggest selling point this year. Homes are as vulnerable to fashion whims as personal wardrobes. "The condition of your property compared to others in the area, and the number of improvements that you have made, or conversely, that need to be made. are important pricing factors. "Some relatively inexpensive improvements, such as minor landscaping can give the property a cleaner fresher appearance than other homes in the neighbourhood and increase a property's market value. At the same time, other more costly improvements, such as an inground swimming pool, which can be considered a maintenance nuisance by some buyers, will not necessarily pay for themselves," Brown explains. An analysis of recent prices obtained by other sellers in the same area is essential before any price is set. stresses Brown. "Qualified buyers and their real estate representatives have been looking in your area, and have become quite familiar with current asking prices. An over -priced property can go stale after those first important few weeks it is on the market and getting the most exposure. When the price is adjusted later, the house is often overlooked." Obtaining sound advice from a professional real estate agent before entering the home sale forum is the wisest first step a seller can take, notes Brown. "It is your agent's responsibility to help you sell your home in the shortest period of time possible at the best price. In addition to their experience and knowledge of home selling procedures, they also offer the support and backing of a real estate company with such services as pre -approved financing and equity advance programs, for prospective buyers. "Calling on their vast network of personal contacts the real estate agent organizes your individual marketing plan• includes your property in their classified advertising as well as publicizing it in the company's various branches." Brown invites anyone who is thinking of selling their home to contact the Scarborough East Family Trust office to arrange a no -charge. no -obligation evaluation of their property and discuss any concerns they might have about the home selling process. Family Trust Corporation is the largest privately -owned real estate company in Canada. It has 42 real estate, financial services, and leasing offices in and around the greater Toronto area. including the recent acquisition of the seven downtown Toronto branches of Darrell Kent Real Estate.

A Stamp To Remember Agnes Macphail Agnes Campbell Mac- phail ( 18941961). the first woman elected to Canada's Parliament and a noted social reformer, was recognized for her political achievement on Oct. 9 with the issue of a postage stamp commemorating the centennial of her birth. Raised in Ceylon, a small town In Southwestern On- tario, Agnes Campbell Macphail received her education at Owen Sound and Stratford Collegiate and taught in the country schools so dear to her heart. Interested in agricultural problems, she became a member of the United Farmers of Ontario in 1919 and began speaking out on their behalf. That same year, women gained the right to run for Parliament. Two years later, the farmers asked Macphail to rum in the Grey South East riding. She won. In 1921, at age 31, Agnes Macphail became the first woman member of Parlia- ment. She sat as a member of the Progressive Party, which was affiliated with Ontario Farmers. Later she became an independent and eventually served in the Ontario legislature as a representative and organizer of the Co- operative Commonwealth Federation (C.C.F.) the forerunner of the NDP. As a respected parliamentarian and public speaker for almost three decades, Macphail was renowned for her wit and tenacity, which she at- tributed to her Scottish far- ming parents: "I owed it to my father that I was elected to Parliament in the first place, but I owed it •:::•:::'•;�•f"•.,•.•O::•`:•=::�::' to my mother that I stuck it .•......... 10:30 MCA:Moneywatch with out once I got there." Michael Hayden 11:00 News Review In addition to her 11:30Toroto:Living With straightforward and r ' 12:00 ColmDSmtnity Messam ' "-outspoken approach on many social issues, she held strong pacifist views. She denounced the Royal Military College as being an extravagant and elitist institution. She advocated peacetime gymnastic pro grams instead of cadet training which she felt was geared to attracting the young by glorifying the tragedy of war. In 1928, when Canada signed the Briand-Kellogg peace pact, she urged the Canadian government to consider total disarmament. While rural issues were always her utmost con- cern. she devoted much of her time to prison reform, helping to organize the FJizabeth Fry Society and to establish the Arc ham- bault Commission HI 1935, which investigated Canada's prisons. Her antimilitarism led her to become the first woman member of the Canadian delegation to a League of Nations con- ference where she served on the Disarmament Com- mittee. She supported women's acquisition of civil rights and was respon- sible for Ontario's fust equal pay for equal work legislation in 1961. The stamp design created by Eskuld Waddell of Toronto combines a por- trait of Agnes Macphail in the 1930s with an image of Parliament in the background. The colourful collage -style both suggests the period and celebrates the site of her many political achievements. A total of 15 million of these commemorative stamps have been printed in seven - colour lithography.

October 17, 1990 Business Community News] It's Called The Accounting Game It's called The Accoun- ting Game, and its aim is to teach a semester of ac- counting in just one day, without studying, lectur- ing, or memorizing. The Accounting Game is coming to the Holiday Inn in Scarborough on Oct. 29th. says Dunwoody & Company, Chartered Ac- countants, in Toronto. How does the game work? Through "Quantum Education" - a combina- tion of relaxation techni- ques and psychological stimulation that make par- ticipants receptive, as never before, to understan- ding numbers. The Accounting Game, according to Dunwoody Partner Bob Babensee, uses a child's lemonade stand as a business model. Participants are given a game board, playing pieces, and workbook that represent their cash, inven- tory, fixed assets, liabilities and equity. The players work at (or rather play at) making a lemonade stand a suc- cessful venture. In the pro- cess, they learn all about inventory, debt, invest- ment, depreciation, ac- crual vs. cash accounting and the relationship bet- ween the balance sheet and income statement. The game is presented in a simple non -threatening way that appeals to begin- ners without accounting knowledge. as well as veterans in the business world who are secretly in the dark about the inner workings of financial statements. Mr. Babensee points out that, "People %iw go to ac- counting causes find them so full of boring jargon, they can hardly stay awake let alone retain anything. We're offering a furl alter- native that wakes up the group and invites a lot of response." So original is this "superlearning" process that the Accounting Game has accreditation from the American Institute of Banking /American Bankers Association. Par- ticipants also receive one CEU ( Continuing Educa- tion Unit) from a fully ac- credited four year bac- calaureate college. (any other accreditation added here) Interested parties may call Bob Babensee or write Dunwoody & Company, Na- tional Office, Royal Bank Plaza, P.O.

The large 50'x 12' van is leased from the NFTA, and is a part of the Games efforts to educate the public about the 1990 event. "We wanted a way to br- ing the Games closer to the people, and this van allows us that opportunity", stated Ross B. Kenzie, Jr., Vice Chairperson for Marketing for the World University Games. "Our goal is to educate the public about the magnitude of this event. The fact that Western New Yorkers will have a once in a lifetime opportunity to host thousands of visitors from around the world when the World University Games take place in July of 1990, merits our education efforts," he said. Visitors can learn about the history of this interna- tional sporting, cultural and educational event through a pictorial tour of the Games as they walk through the van. World University Games volunteers are available to answer questions and share the latest informa- tion on the international event, as well as sell the Games' merchandise. The van is currently in downtown Buffalo at Court and Main Streets, and will be seen throughout Western New York over the next three years at numerous locations and events, such as M & T Plaza, Niagara Factory Outlet Mall, Southgate Plaza, and the Festival of overlooking a blue lagoon.
