October 24. l."I Opinion a page for expression for you and us Yes, It Is A Recession! by Bob Watson �It must seem amazing to millions of Canadians that our federal finance minister, Michael Wilson, seems unable to comprehend that we are in the midst of a recession. He is afraid to use the word, it seems, because it throws out of gear his plan to battle the huge inflation rate of 4 to 6% with a crushing Bank of Canada interest rate of 12.66°x. Mr. Wilson says he is waiting for the figures for the third quarter before he can call it a recession because then if two quarters figures show a decline, it is a recession! Ah, the double talk necessary to pretend that you know what you are doing with our national economy is amazing. Everyone - even those without degrees in economics - knows that we are in a recession and everyone knows that high interest rates are the cause. Although Mr. Wilson's program will keep the Canadian dollar high, the cost for a high interest rate is too great. It would be better to have a Canadian dollar worth 70 cents than have an economy down in the dumps as it is now. Of course, we realize that Michael Wilson lives in an at- mosphere of government and civil servants who live in a dream world not related to the real world of business and individuals. So he probably can't help his attitude after all these years at Ottawa. Which is why we think he should be replaced by another person for a while .. and we realize that it would have to be a Conservative from Prime Minister Brian Mulroney's government .. at least until the next election. So what would we do if we were down at Ottawa handling this job'. Very simply we would announce that the interest rate is going down one percentage point every Thursday un- til it reaches 6 percent. Everyone will know where we are going with interest and everyone could adjust each week as we turn on the economy to better things. It all seers so sim- ple. We think that the average Canadian would rather fight a bit of inflation than be on welfare after losing his or her And we still believe that the cost of running the GST is too high compared to increasing our income taxes by a simple 5% .. which. we believe, would give the same dollars to run government. Petro -Canada Dear Editor Again the Tories pian to privatize Petro -Canada. For ideological reasons. the Conservatives don't like nor want Petro -Canada as a government enterprise. For pragmatic reasons, however. Petro -Canada has an important role as an instrument of government policy in the oil and gas industry. Petro -Canada can influence the pace of petroleum ex- ploration. Government intervention in exploration with a government enterprise has advantages over strictly private exploration. particularly in Canada's Arctic and off -shore along Canada's coasts. We need to know the ex- tent of our petroleum resources. Petro -Canada can be used to increase the availability of refined petroleum products. Canada's oil and gas industry is very integrated with a few large international companies controlling most production. Without Petro -Canada's presence. gasoline prices at the pump would be even higher The Tories should not let their ideology- misguide their in- dustrial policies. Keep Petro -Canada' Sincerely Elmer G Wiens :3''15 Alder St. No.204 Victoria. B.C.

AVIDOMERVILLE NA�hat ave Prime Min- ister Brian Mulroney and Marie Antoinette got in common? It's not just that both have shown extraordinary insensitivity to citizens — call it the "let them eat cake" attitude. The other thing which they have in common is that Mr. Mulroney seems to have lost his head as well, although not as per- manently as the ill—fated Queen of France! Let's face it, Mulroney today is about as popular as K.D. Lang at a meeting of Alberta cattlemen. Ca- nadians, for a variety of reasons. are coming to see the Prime Minister and his government as a bunch of cynical oppor- tunists living hip—deep in the public trough. Amazingly, however, the Prime Minister and his MPs are either oblivi- ous to this mood or they just don't care. Indeed, instead of trying to re- verse their unflattering image, they seem deter- mined to do everything in their power to lend it credence. For instance, on the one hand Mulroney ex- horts Canadians to tighten their belts and to make sacrifices to battle the deficit and inflation, and on the other he approves a 30oio, 56,000 increase in tax free expense allow- ances for MPs. In addition to this apparent hypocrisy the Mulroney government has also stubbornly refused to reform the gold—plated pension plan which MPs Mulroney Out of Touch enjoy. After only six years in office, MPs qualify for a pension which has unlim- ited protection against inflation and is payable the very day they leave Parliament, regardless of their age. There has been wide- spread indignation against the MPs pension plan: editorials from coast to coast have condemned it and citizens from all po- litical parties have con- tacted their MPs to regis- ter their displeasure. In response, many Conservative MPs have chosen to defend the undefendable. MP Don Blenkarn, for instance, said that MPs who qualify for this pension should "rejoice". Murray Dorin, an Alberta MP said "I don't feel any embarrass- ment about it. If people want to prevent MPs from collecting their pensions, then just keep re—electing them." Not all politicians are so numb to the public mood. Recently Senator Stan Waters and MP Deborah Grey, both of the fledgling Reform Party, showed some lead- ership when they an- nounced that they would take 1 10 per cent cut in pay. Unfortunately, such a display of principle is all too rare in Ottawa. Ultimately, however, justice will prevail. Citi- zens know how to handle smug leaders. lust ask Marie Antoinette. (David Somerville is President of The National Citizens' Coalition.) .........................................::.:.:._...... Help The Skydome? Dear Sir What a fine kettle of fish' Premier Rae's new government has just announced a huge budget deficit of more than $2.5 billion- The economy is in a recession. Bankruptcies are soaring. Toronto's police force can't respond to half its emergency calls because of staff shortage. In the middle of all this. Rae's government announced that it would use our tax dollars to help bail out the finan- cially troubled Skydome! We don't think governments should be in the business of owning a sports stadium, hotel and fitness centre. In fact, Rae's government has no more business subsidizing the Skydome than Prime Minister Mulroney has in handing out 388 million of our tax dollars to Toronto's ballet -opera house. The Ontario government has got to start drawing a line somewhere. It can't keep treating our tax dollars like they grow on trees. Why not privatize the Skydome? That way, not only would the Skydome cease to be a drain on Ontario tax- payers but we would benefit from the privatization revenues. A Dash Of Seasoning by Tom Mitchell Flocks of Canadian "snowbirds" heading for Florida beaches in February - now there's a seasonal adjustment anyone who has lived through our winter can understand. But seasonal adjustment and some of the other fine tun- ing that is done by statisticians can be somewhat less ob- vlolLs. The monthly reports from Statistics Canada on how many people are employed or unemployed, for example, give the totals with the notation that they are seasonally adjusted. This means that certain big jumps or dips in these numbers, which recur on a regular basis, have been taken into account. Adjustments have been made to smooth out those abrupt peaks or valleys that would result if the raw numbers were plotted on a graph. What sort of changes recur regularly? It's less true with today's techniques than it used to be years ago, but the con- struction industry still goes full blast in warm weather and eases off somewhat through the winter. Any business ac- tivity tied closely to tourism will have peak and off seasons. Students swell the employment rolls, and sometimes the ranks of the unemployed, each summer when they join the work force to earn back -to -school money. Similar recurring factors which can lead to statistical ad- justment are at work in other economic areas. For exam- ple, there's that huge bulge in retail sales generated during the weeks leading up to Christmas. Or the change in the number of "trading days" from one month to the next. Five Sundays instead of the usual four can have quite an impact on many businesses. What do these statistical adjustments achieve? They could be compared to eliminating interference from a TV signal. With the static gone, other factors having an impact on the statistics -a quickening or a slackening in general economic activity, for example -will stand out and be identified. They won't be camouflaged by one of those regular seasonal variations. Quick recognition of economic change is a must in today's complex business world. Seasonal and other statistical ad- justments help ensure fast identification of such change. It becomes as easy to spot as that February mass migration of winter -weary Canadians.

Become informed about what constitutes an environmental hazard and leave it on the store shelf. You'll find there are often alternatives. Increasingly, Canadians are demanding that in- dustries demonstrate greater commitment to en- vironmentally friendly practices. However, we sometimes forget that the strongest message we can send to the business com- munity comes not from our mouths but from our pocketbooks. Make a resolution for World Standards fray, and put standards to work for you by looking for the Ecologo and the Energuide label. You'll be sending a clear message to manufac- turers, and you can bet they'll be listening.

The majority work in hospitals and con munity health centres. Over 50 percent are con- centrated in the Golden Horseshoe Region. Mr. Morgan, originally from Wales, enrolled in the Ontario Chiropody Pro- gram at Toronto General Hospital. The majority of staff at TGH acquired their knowledge and skills in the United Kingdom. where the service is common. "It is my responsibility to provide the community elude nail care, callous and corn removal and topical medications. Orthoses may be prescribed. The increased demand for footcare will continue to rise as the population ages. "With only one school in Canada, it will be difficult to provide sufficient foot care for these increasing numbers," said Morgan. Presently, there are 770,000 seniors in Ontario. This figure is expected to double in the next decade. The new chiropody pro- gram at York -Finch General Hospital is part of the hospital's overall strategy to continue pro- viding a high level of outpa- tient care to residents of the City of North York and the Town of Vaughan. .YOU COULD " TWO' FREE �0 o AIRLINE TI KET FROM THE HEART AND STROKE FOUNDATION OF ONTAR 10 AOC8n8de YOU COULD WIN TWO FREE TICKETS ANYWHERE AIR CANADA FLIES The Heart and Stroke Foundation of Ontario wants you not to smoke.

October 24, 19% Bill Watt's Worlds IN PRINT: Gardening and cook books, particularly the lat- ter, are consistent best sellers notwithstanding that most are impractical- ly constructed. The ideal gardening, cookery, or any self help book for that mat- ter should be small enough to be held in one hand, have the pages hung on a spiral for steady positioning and have those pages laminated to resist soiling. Most however are large and unwieldy. So why do they continue to be popular sellers? Mostly, it's because peo- ple like to look at them. A young lady of our not so casual acquaintance hates cooking but loves to read cookbooks. Her elderly next door neighbour has her gardens done by a pro- fessional gardener but she can be seen in her sun room reading large gardening books, possibly comparing the illustrations therein with her own garden. Most gardening and cookbooks despite fre- quently admirable content. find their ultimate fate as coffee table books: hand- some volumes placed ever so discreetly for observa- tion by guests and as decorative pieces for the home owner. With that as preamble we draw your attention to three such books recently sent to us for review. The Canadian Gardener (Random House of Canada) is, as the sub title proclaims, a guide to gardening in Canada. It is also a stunningly beautiful book, so beautiful that we suggest only dedicated gardeners will actually read the script. Written by Marjorie Har- ris and with photography by Tim Saunders the book was printed and bound in Italy .. and it shows. The colour register is simply superb and a tonic for weary eyes. On the practical side, be advised that the book has a full colour hardiness zone map of Canada plus com- prehensive information about individual gardens' microclimates. This is most important as so often flowers or plants suitable for one part of the country are not suitable for others. There's really not much more we can say about The Canadian Gardener except that real gardeners will find much of value in it but even non gardeners will en- KALLY S Imo_ SPECIAL # STEAA< & RISS $10.95 Charcoal Broiled Jr. Cut N.Y.

Whether deliberate or not is not for us to say. We say only that this is a cookbook that is most entertaining. Also printed in Italy, it has illustrations that are almost literally mouthwatering. As well, it has very practical sugges- tions for entertaining with food both casually, for special occasions or formal occasions. We found ourself par- ticularly taken with the menu for a Loaf and Ladle Party and one of the sug- gested soups .. three pasta soup. Now, that's soup wor- thy of the name! Must admit here that the spine of the book is of suffi- cient strength that it can be laid flat but the book is so gorgeous we can't imagine anyone carrying it into a kitchen to be soiled.

First 100 Children Get 1 Stock Share The first 100 chikh-en to call on the home of Tom Reid in Oakville on Hallo- ween will receive one share of Curragh Resources Inc. common stock and the traditional piece of candy. Ibis is the fourth year in a row that Mr. Reid has given company shares away at Halloween. The shares are listed on the Toronto Stock Ex- change and closed on Oct. 3rd at $8. Clr•ragh is one of the world's largest pro- ducers of lead and zinc. Its mines are in the Yukon. It also has a new low-sulphur coal mine in Nova Scotia. Last year children began lining up at Mr. Reed's door in a very cold rain at 3 p.m. to receive a share of Pro- vigo Inc. In 1988, Mr. Reid gave away Irwin Toy •limited Stock and in 1987, bably wrong but would be less than candid were we to say anything else in an assessment of this volume.

November - A Nifty Month To Start Exercise Program November is upon us br- inging shorter days and colder weather. Many of us will automatically retreat into hibernation which means less exercise and a more sedentary lifestyle than during our energetic summer. ..Exercise year round not only keeps you healthy. feeling energized and alert, it is also a major factor in preventing obesity," says Marie L.udwick, President of Weight Watchers for Southern Ontario and the Maritimes. "You don't have to gain unnecessary pounds during the winter months. You can look and feel great when spring is knocking on your door and not be afraid to get out your new wardrobe." Fitness experts tend to agree that exercise decreases appetite so exer- cising before a meal can be a deterrent to overeating. To keep in tip-top shape and replace the winter blahs, Weight Watchers of- fers the following exercise tips: 1. First of all, assess your current situation. If you haven't exercised for a while, start out slowly. Don't try to be a star and risk muscle injuries. You may wish to consult your physician for a checkup before starting a specific exercise routine. 2. To enjoy the winter wonderland and make this season fun, try cross- country or downhill skiing with friends, snow shoeing or skating with the family. Take a walk in the great outdoors - walking is an ex- cellent overall exercise for your heart as well as your waistband. 3. For indoor activities, why not join an aerobics class, swim at your local community centre, or even be adventurous and try something different like ballroom dancing! Try skipping rope or riding a stationary bicycle while reading a book or watching television. Even doing domestic chores like vacuuming and cooking can burn off extra calories which is an added bonus to weight loss. The following chart, prepared by Weight Wat- chers International, com- pares some of the best with traditional winter sporting activities for a 150 pound person. Calories burned in 30 minutes - cooking 93; Swimming 261; Skiing - Cross country - 291; Sta- tionary Bicycling 204; Walking (normal pace) 162, Vacuuming 93; Scrub- bing Floors 222; Window cleaning 120; fast dancing 210; volleyball 102. Don't skate on thin ice with your weight and general health this winter season. Keep excess pounds off and maintain your slim shape by taking advantage of exercising op- portunities. Most of all, have fun and be fit! Help For Smokers The Lung Association's Program to help you quit smoking is offered across Metro Toronto and York Region.

The latest Transport Canada statistics. released recently, show that road crashes continue to be one of Canada's most signifi- cant social and economic problems. In 1989, 4,221 people were killed and another 294,234 injured. Jack Lyndon, President of the Insurance Bureau of Canada, the major associa- tion representing private auto insurance companies, says: "The epidemic on our roads continues, and yet the public seems large- ly unaware of either the staggering proportions of the problem or possible solutions. „ To address this issue, IBC is launching a major communications program over the next two months to inform people about the scope of the problem and look at ways to improve driving behaviour. The most visible compo- nent of the program will be a national television and radio advertising cam- paign. Lyndon says: "We've used a driving tip format designed to remind all drivers that they share the problem and can help solve it by improving their own driving." Other activities include: baby stops breathing, breathes too slowly or his'her heart beats too slowly. Updated respiration and heart rate values are con- tinuously displayed for viewing by attending physi- cians and nursing staff. C.IJiM.

Markham sponsorship of an interna- tional symposium to look at problems and solutions for young and novice drivers: working with police forces to provide educational sup port for enforcement cam- paigns; ampaigrss; lobbying govern- ment and other key players in the road safety area for change in legislation and policies, and other educa- tional activities designed to build media and public awareness of road safety issues. Lyndon says, "The public is concerned that car insurance premiums are increasing. One of the major reasons for this is the continuing increase in both the number and severity of crashes. If we all work to reduce road crashes, costs will come down and we'll be better able to control insurance premiums." IBC reports that in 1989 the cost of settling auto in- surance claims resulting from crashes totalled more than $5 billion, up from $4.5 billion in 1996. IBC is no newcomer to the road safey world. Over the past three decades, the Bureau's road safety in- itiatives have included research activities, con- ferences, public education campaigns and resource back-up to community groups. In July this year IBC released the results of a major research study, "New to the Road", oulin- ing the higher collision rates experienced by both young and novice drivers and evaluating the effec- tiveness of various countermeasures. An inter- national symposium is slated to be held in Halifax in February 1991 to explore this issue in detail and prepare recommendations for corrective action.

October 24, 1990 Business Community News) - NEENNO New Varone Hotel In North York Montecassino Place Suites Hotel may be a new landmark on the North York scene, but behind the project lies the integrity and reputation of the high profile Varone Group Part- nership. Well-established in the North York and Metro Italian business com- munities, the Varone Group is headed by Carlo Varone. who emigrated to Canada from his native Ita- ly in 1955. After a successful stint as a landscaping profes- sional. Varone added a new dimension to his business in the early 1960s when he began building homes in the North York and Downsview areas. In 1975. Varone's com- pany broke ground for the construction of Montecassino Place, a sizeable commercial com- plex at Sheppard Avenue between Keele Street and Allen Road. Named in honour of a historic monastery near Carlo Varone's hometown of Cassino, the building soon attracted a full slate of corporate tenants, and served as headquarters for Eastcrest Homes. the Varone Group's residential construction arm. At the heart of the com- plex was a first-rate restaurant and banquet facility, which represented the company's initial ven- ture into the hospitality in- dustry Ristorante '.Montecassino officially opened its doors in 1976, and continues to flourish. The ensuing years have brought continued growth to the company, and the ad- dition of sons Gino and Tony to the family enter- prise. A came on board in 1980," says Tony Varone. "Although I had grown up with exposure to the home building industry. I began getting involved in other areas, such as industrial and commercial building and land development. which is really my area of expertise." It was Ton %'arone's in- terest in land development that led the Varone Group to search for a creative means of complementing the existing banquet hall and restaurant business with a hotel facility. "Ours was almost a backward approach." says Varone. "The usual route is to create accommodation first, then supplement it with amenities. We already had the amenities, so we added the rooms - and we believe the concept will work quite well." Initial plans and permit applications for a hotel were drawn up in 1987, and the proposal was well- received by the governing bodies of the City of North York. Construction began in the fall of 1989, under the direction of Vas Kuchar, architect of the original Montecassino Place. Now nearing completion, the hotel will ultimately be supervised by Gino Varone. who runs the restaurant and banquet hall. Despite the sluggish economic climate, Tony Varone has few concerns about the timing of this latest venture. "There have actually been certain advantages in building over the past year," he notes. "The slow -down in the construction industry has helped to keep our costs in line. And although getting a large project up and running is always tough, the hospitality in- dustry has not been as hard hit as many other segments of the economy." Varone also has com- plete confidence in the quality of his product - the amenities, the banquet and convention facilities and especially the price. "We're hitting the market with the right pro- duct." he says. " We can of- fer accommodation com- parable to that of a Four Seasons or Marriott, at below Journey's End prices " The new Montecassino Place Suites Hotel, owned by the Varone Group Part- nership and managed by Centennial Hotels Limited, will be opened officially on Thurs. Oct. 25th. YTA Meets Oct.24th. The York Technology Association's October lun- cheon will be held on Wed. Oct. 24th at 12 noon at the Chimo Hotel, 7095 Wood- bine Ave. just north of Steeles.

Metro Toronto Plan For Fall Leaf Collection Residents of Metropolitan Toronto will be asked to gather their leaves in clear plastic bags again this fall as part of the Fall Leaf Collection and Composting Program operated by the Metropolitan Toronto Works Department. Leaves represent one of the largest categories of waste that can be readily diverted from landfill. Last year the program resulted in over 20.000 tonnes of leaves being composted This year, the Works Department hopes to divert even more leaves from landfill sites. "This Metro initiative is part of the larger waste reduction program being carried out in cooperation with the local municipalities,'' said Robert Ferguson, Commis- sioner of Works. "It is one more way to reduce waste and conserve valuable landfill space." Residents are asked to buy and use clear plastic bags to collect their excess leaves. The bags are manufactured by a number of companies and should be available in hardware, gardening, convenience and grocery stores. The clear plastic bags make it easier for collection crews to identify the bags that contain leaves and ensure that they receive separate collection. It is important that residents do not use Dr. Anthony Kwok, Dental Surgeon Is pleased to announce the association of Dr. Allen Leung, Dental Surgeon in the practice of family dentistry 4865 Sheppard Ave.E. Scarborough,Ontario MIS 3V8 Monday - Saturday Phone 291-3117 green bags as they will be taken with regular garbage for landfill disposal. Residents are encourag- ed to mulch or compost as many of their leaves as possible and put out only the excess leaves for col- lection by their municipali- tv. The collected leaves will be composted at local municipal or Metropolitan composting facilities and the resulting humus will be used as a soil conditioner. The Metropolitan Toron- to Works Department is also making arrangements to recover the used bags and have them recycled. Bags should be sealed with plastic closures, tied at the corners or folded over at the top, but not tied with metal closures as these in- terfere with the recycling process. Some municipalities may ask for bags to be left untied. Area -specific informa- tion on how bags should be left at the curb and the special collection days will be distributed to residents by their municipality.

Call 416-223-7444 for informa- tion and help. with Rene Soetens, M.P. The Prime Minister's recent appointment of eight new senators is an unfortunate development in the struggle bet- ween the government and the Liberal Senators seeking to block its legislation. It also seems unavoidable, given the circumstances facing the government at this time. While it is regrettable that the Prime Minister had to resort to these measures, his actions are certainly justifiable. The elected government's right to carry out its mandates must not be undermined by unelected, partisan appointees in the Senate. Clearly, the Senate no longer performs its original func- tion as a chamber of "sober second thought". It has become a battleground for those who have chosen, on their own authority, to take over the functions of the elected govern- ment and opposition. The continuing failure of attempts to enact senate reform are causing many Canadians to call for this body's aboli- tion. Abolition of the senate makes good sense for Ontario, since we have less seats per citizen in the senate than any other province in Canada. Senate reform measures propose even greater representation of other regions, which would further undermine Ontario's proportionately smaller retation. =senate no longer serves the purpose for which it was created. Senate reform has proven impossible, and would have undesirable results for Ontario even if it could be done. Clearly, the logical solution is to abolish the Senate outright. I am in the prods of distributing a petition to this effect in Ontario Riding, to be sent to Ottawa in the follow- ing weeks. I encourage you to sign it, and support this effort to cut costs and make changes that will help the people of Ontario, and all Canadians. VOLUNTEERS NEEDED Are you interested in being a volunteer to help the blind'' There are lots of ways you can help - be a driver, a reader or a volunteer shopper.
