On Nov. 21st, Environ- ment Minister Ruth Grier effectively killed the pro- posed dumpsites at Brampton (613) and Whitevale (Pl). But the following day, the Minister suggested an emergency dump may have to go to either of those locations without a full environmen- tal assessment. Liberal environment critic Barbara Sullivan said she is appalled at the NDP's direction on this issue. Ruth Grier says she's committed to the former Liberal government's goal of 25 percent solid waste reduction by 1992. But she will have to find a place to put millions of tomes of Metro trash within two years, and says she would use her emergency powers to extend the use of existing Metro Toronto and Peel larWill sites, and to open the proposed Brampton and Whitevale sites if necessary without a full en- vironmental assessment. This is contrary to her elec- tion kction commitment that the public must be involved in Durham Education Highlights beterminiag'''° toes tions. Donevas CI Student Recognized Dr. F.J.Donevan Cl stu- dent Jacki Berwick. designer of the Durham Board's 1990 Christmas card was honoured by trustees. At the end of the 1989-90 school year. students throughout the system were invited to sub- mit designs for a Christmas card. Jacki Ber- wick's card was chosen over dozens of others because of its cheerful and colourful depiction of a snowman in a red hat and striped scarf. It was printed this fall and made available for purchase by staff throughout Dunham Board schools and offices. Jacki was presented with packages of her cards for her personal use and a Durham Board pin. Con- gratulations for her suc- cessful design were extend- ed to Jacki by the trustees. Asbestos Survey Report Discussed The Occupational Health & Safety Act (1978) under the Ministry of Labour, designated asbestos as a controlled (hazardous) substance and in 1985, established Ontario regula- tion 654'85 which specifies that employers and owners maintain a record of friable asbestos, make all workers aware of the loca- tions, establish a training program for workers and make periodic inspections of asbestos locations to determine its condition and carry out necessary maintenance worst. Durham Board schools and offices have been surveyed by an outside con- sultant to identify locations of friable ( crumbling) and non -friable asbestos. The Board's Astestos Manage- ment Team provides for continuous monitoring and maintenance of identified asbestos sites, as well as planned removals in accor- dance with Ministry of Labour regulations. At the present time, fif- teen schools ( Ajax HS, Brock HS, Eastdale CVs, O'Neill CV1, Pickering HS, Aldon School, Coronation PS, Dr. S.J. Phillips PS, F.M. Heard PS, Glenholme School, Maxwell Heights PS, Palmerston PS, R.H. Cornish PS, Thorah Cen- tral PS and Waverly PS) and one office site (Dum- barton Office) have been identified for planned removal of friable asbestos. Some have ceil- ing tiles (containing only 5-19% asbestos) in either classrooms or hallways, while others have asbestos insulation located in mechanical or boiler rooms.

Page THE \F WS POST Wed. liecember 12, 1". 1 Opinion a page for expression for you and us A Sad Memory by Bob %%a (son The 1989 terrible murder of 14 young women at an engineering school in Montreal was celebrated last week with services all across the country. This was a very unusual event triggered by a mentally deranged young man, who obvicxu ly should have had medical treatment. For the families of the 1.1 murdered women we extend our deepest sympathy. However, we do not agree with the feminists who are us- ing this very unusual event to call for government action and reports. This shooting does not represent the attitude of most males in our society - in fact onh•a very small number- of umberof males are capable of such atro oily. We note that Scarborough Nest MPP Anne Sw•arbrick wants the federal government to initiate a royal commis- sion on this situation. She wants the federal government to pay tribute to the murdered women and wants the magnitude of this problem brought to t he public's at tent ion. We want to praise the provincial government for a move to force fathers of children to pay for the upkeep of their children when in a divorce or separation the mother is left with the kids and the costs. For generations some fathers have been opting out of their responsibility financially to their youngsters. But to have an expensive royal commis- sion staffed only by women to compile information which governments already have is ridiculous. We don't believe that our laws are tough enough for rapists and i hcitse who beat up women but this one time murder of 14 women in Quebec is not an usual episode - Ihis was very ungual and despicable. To trigger off legislation and committees based on this one very (unusual episode is just mass hysteria and this energy should be directed to correcting some nwwe frequent, but less violent problems which happen in families. French Language Boards Ontario Education Minister Marion Boyd has announced several measures to improve French language education in Ontario. Firstly, the Minister announced the membership of the French Language Education Governance Advisory Group. which has been established to recommend to the Minister criteria for the creation of French -Language school boards.

"This government is strongly committed to moving ahead on matters of French -language education." said Mr-, Boyd "Establishment of the Adyisciry Group was an- nounced by the previous government in Jtuie. and we are fulfilling that commitment." Secondly. Marion Boyd an- nounced that, among amendments to the Education act that she will introduce in the Legislature this fall, therewill be changes proposed to allow for the creation of additional French -language school boards. The Ministn will establish criteria for the creation of French language school boards, following input from the Adyi-,or Group.

A further delay on these grounds is unnecessary for those who have already waited so long." the Minister said. Thirdly, the Minister also announced that the Ministry will begin discussions immediately with interested parties in two counties of Ontario in which French -language gover- nance is of pressing concern - Prescott -Russell and Simcoe Counties National Vision In Canada Needed Says President The University of Victoria's lop students have been challenged by the university's president to help create a na- tional vision that will enable Canada to take a positive role in the new global economy and society. Dr. David Strong addressed the students on Oka. 25 at the annual Awards Recognition Ceremony held to honour outstanding UVic students and the donors who have con- tributed to their scholarships and awards. Approximately 1.100 scholarships and awards were presented during the ceremony which was held in the evening in the University Centre Auditorium. The 50 students with the highest academic standing at UVic during the 1989-90 received special recognition on the Auditorium stage. The ceremony was part of the Iwo week festival held to celebrate Strong's installation as UVic's new president. in his address tilled "The Value of Knowledge and the Fates of Nations" Strong told the audience that in Canada "there seems to be no national vision, either internally for the country or externally for its place in the world." For example, SI rong asked. "whv does Canada ignore its three oceans, which are better understood and more com- prehensively exploited by many other countries? Why do we have so many Canadian government agencies which duplicate, overlap and compete with each other? Why do we have untrained and uninformed representatives in other countries? Why do we not use the resources of our univer- sities? Do we want to be competitive?" A vision for Canada must combine immediate action with long-term planning and goals. Strong said. "Above all, it must be articulated and promoted by members of the university community, particularly our students." Canadians could begin to arrive at a national vision "by understanding, first of all, our position in the world, and, secondly, what makes us unique." said St rang. "For example, we are known in the rest of the world as having a huge land mass. The prairie provinces have endless wheat fields, yet 17.0(to people left Saskatchewan alone in 1989. Newfoundland occupies a huge continental shelf with unmeautred mineral resources and the world's richest fishing grounds, yet is the poorest province in Canada, with a similarly declining population." Strong quoted sources to indicate that "we are now a country• in which Canadians are dying out, since 1972 when the present generation ceased reproducing itself." These critical socioeconomic factors must be taken into any vi- sion of Canada, said UVic's president. A major issue which should concern universities is that the world is divided into two demographic pr•ofdes, the "developed" world with aging populations and the "developing" world with a still exploding population mostly under the age of lo. ()cher than the doomsday predictions which have the underdeveloped world's population explosion continuing in- definitely to ultimate and overwtneiminrg global disaster, these figures point to only one viable scenario, said Strong. "That is for these countries and regions to emulate the Japanese Taiwanese Korean approach of massive in- vestments in education with subsequent prosperity and declining birthrate=s.." The global marketplace is going it, be bigger and more competitive with opportunities and threats for (currently) developed countries such as Canada. he said. "There is no alternative for Canada other than to take a positive and supportive role. If the rich are going to stay rich• then the poor will have to get nch, or at least pro- sperous• and that is going to be the driving force for all mat- ters of public policy in the global village. That will require an applical ion of all your know•lege. in wtnatever discipline occupies your interest," Strong told the UVic's top st cadent s.

Here and There Inspection Fees to Increase Ontario Hydro's electrical inspection fees will increase on Jan. 1 for the first time in more than two years. Roger Staig, Hydro's manager of electrical inspection, said in- creases will average 10 percent, and affect all residential, commercial and industrial installations. Staig said the construction boom and productivity im- provements enabled Hydro to avoid increases during the period since October 1968, but costs have risen to the point where an adjust merit became necessary. The new inspec- tion fee for a typical single detached residence will be 386, up from the current $78. Canadianism Is First... Multiculturalism Is Second! Give A Gift That Lasts AH Year!

December 12,19N Bill Watt's Worlds ON STAGE: Move over Mike Filey while one who was there mentions a few memories. On the west side of Bay Street just north of Well- ington there is, or was until recently, a Colonel Sanders restaurant. Yecch! Before The Colonel, however, it was a lounge called the Emerald Room. On the lower floor of the complex was a restaurant i supper club called the Cork Room. It featured Latin American music and it was there that we first fell in love with it. We became a frequent dancer to the rhythms of Chicho Val Its y los Cubans. In New York there used to be Lou Walters' Latin Quarter ( Lou Walters was the father of Barbara Walters -"Baba Wawa" as she was dubbed by the late Gilda Radner) and it featured Earl Carroll type production numbers with an emphasis on the Latin American beat. Rio de Janiero still observes Carnival with a samba festival and Oba Oba is an annual celebra- tion of Brazilian music and dance for which nation wide auditions are held. The Elgin Theatre has secured the fust Canadian engagement of Oba Oba and it is residence there now but only until Jan. 6th. It is quite simply the best show we've seen this year and, we feel, it will remain so for many years to come. The late Bob Pennington could have done full justice to a show like this. His was the skill and experitse that could describe how a once young man who loved to dance Latin American in Toronto and thrilled to spectacle in New York's Latin Quarter has quite fallen in love with this bright, colourful, bouncy, almost frenetic explosion of music and dance beautifully counterpointed by a percussive underflow that goes beyond mere salsa into artistry. (And. Bob would not have used such a long sentence!) Oba Oba is not a bookshow, that is to say a show with a narrative plot, but there is a thread of con- tinuity that holds it together. That thread is the survival of the human spirit against deprivation and its triumph in song and dance. That triumph is probably best manifested in the Capoeira of Angola produc- tion, one of 13 production numbers. In Angola, the Capoetra was a dance with an emphasis on slow, playful ginga ( the basic sw- inging step). In Brazil, since slaves were forbidden weapons. the capoeira developed from dance to a martial art which could be practiced openly since it could be KALLY" S ID -WEEK DINNER SPECIALS Served MON.-Thurs.

In the first struggles against the masters, slaves used hands and feet as their only weapons. As seen on the stage of The Elgin, capoeira becomes a combination of acrobatics, controlled mayhem and superb danc- ing with each dancer ex- celling the others in daring and skill. And, that's only one of the numbers! Remember that there are 13 in all and each has a spectacular charm. For the finale, balloons descend from the ceiling, the cast comes down into the audience and most of the theatre gets on its feet for a winding conga line around and through the aisles. Wonderful! Look, even with unlimited space we still could not describe Oba Oba properly and certainly with not as much detail as it deserves. Just take our word for it -we've never steered you wrong yet. have we? and go see it. Our final words on the subject are these. If Oba Oba doesn't make it for The Elgin, then Toronto doesn't deserve this fine theatre and its excellent attrac- tions. You have been cau- tioned!

We refer to the pairing of Chan Hon Goh with Kevin Pugh. This will be the young lady's debut in a Nutcracker lead and a vir- tual return for Kevin Pugh who has been inactive with injuries for some time now.

We shall also wait and see whether or not we will appear in The Nutcrcker again. At Gino Empry's party, the publicity staff of the National were trying desperately to get us but we kept our cool. It wasn't clear whether they were saying a "plea to help us" or "We'll see you in Hell first". Oh well, never mind. ON YOUR BACK: Gino's party was his an- nual Christmas event and, as always, attracted vir- tually all the movers and shakers in this city of same. It was held in Ed's Warehouse and was catered with unending bounty by Shopsy's. It used to be said that in the bar of Sheppard's in Cairo one could see everyone you had ever met in a lifetime if you stayed there long enough. We suggest that can now be said of a Gino Empry party. Thanks again Gino. Nice to know vou. DINNER THEATRE: Our good wishes go out to the Hollywood Dinner Theatre which has its Wand opening this Friday staffing The Chi -Utes. The Hollywood Dinner Theatre is on the Danforth near Greenwood and it us- ed to be the Allenby Theatre. Wonder if Mike Filey knows that? We do because we used to court a girl who lived nearby. Good night. Irene. MAY THE FARCE: Be with you, and it win be on two fronts. The Royal Canadian Air Farce returns to Massey Hall this Friday to celebrte the comedy team's 17th an- niversary. Original cast members Roger Abbott, Don Ferguson, Luba Goy and John Morgan will be rejoined by former partner Dave Broadfoot who left the group in 1988. Mr. Broadfoot also makes a guest appearance on the group's comedy cassette To Air is Human. To Farce Divine (Attic). We've given it a hearing and can attest that it's just as funny as any of their radio programs. Why not? These are live tracks from the shows. We're curious to know just how well it will do sales wise, however. No doubt it should sell well but it seems to us that most fans of The Farce tape the shows anyway. It's not right, it's not proper but it's a fact. What ever, we wish it well. IN PRINT: With the holiday season now upon us here is/ are a quartet of books that seem suitable for mention together. See if you agree with us or if we just have a weird sense of humour. The first is Dr. Art Hister's Do -It -Yourself Guide to Good Health (Random House). Dr. Hister is the host of House Call and CBC's Doctor, Doctor though one wonders if he is still the latter in view of the recent CBC cuts. The book is probably no worse or better than most health books but we can't Sneak A Peak At Santa At The Metro Zoo While a number of in- trepid explorers have penetrated to the North Pole, now of them, to date, have yet stumbled upon Santa Claus's secret arctic stomping grounds. This year, however, the jolly old gent is permitting a unique "sneak peek behind the scenes" as he bustles about getting himself and his animals ready for The Big My. It all takes place in the Zoo's new "Eaton's Winter Pavilion", open from Dec. 1 to Jan. 6, 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., except on Friday and Saturday nights. when the Zoo will be open until 9 p.m. As a special treat.

See the "Eaton's Winter Pavilion", tour the tropical Indo -Malaya and Africa Pavilions, and safari up the Boardwalk to view a side of the Zoo never before presented to the public. We'll be open to 9:oo p.m. with last admissions at 8: 00 p.m. Take advantage of Santa's generosity this year, to see what few peo- ple in history have ever seen - the merry old elf making Christmas pprceeparations in his snow- bound clime. The "Eaton's Winter Pavilion", the Zoo lit up after dark, and even- ing safaris to the Africa and Indo Malaya Pavilions - it all adds up to a warm, nostalgic, family Christmas experience.

In our view, the best feature of Dr. Dean Ornish's Program for Reversing Heart Disease is the collection of healthy food recipes. The sub title of this Random House publication is The Only System Scientifically Pro- ven to Reverse Heart Disease Without Drugs or Surgery. The use of the word "reverse" disturbs us. Can any physical malfunction be reversed? Cured hopefully but revers- ed? Still the recipes are in- teresting. White bean and tomato soup with fresh herbs is delicious. We have no intention, however, of trying Lentil -hominy soup with lime and chili. Chili for someone trying to '.reverse" heart disease? Bonnie Stern's Ap- petizers (Random House) is a valuable soft cover for holiday entertaining in- cluding as it does, recipes for soups spreads, salads, hors d'oeuvre, pastas and much more. We could do without Peter Growski's Gazpacho (Miss Stern sometimes ap- pears with him on Morningside -will it too fall before the CBC's budget axe?) but hugely enjoy Butternut squash soup with Gorgonzola cream. That's living. The grand dame of all cook books though is The Fannie Farmer Cookbook and we have just reviewed the latest edition of it. One dislikes to over use the word definitive but as cookbooks go and if there is such a thing as a definitive one, this is it. A must for new brides it covers virtually every aspect of food preparation including descriptions of various cuts of meat, fish and poultry. Some of the recipes are gourmet, some are bonne femme, all are agreeable. Now, there is something about this book that should be mentioned before con- templating its purchase. Some might find it a minus; we find it a plus. This is an American publication (Alfred A. Knopf) and there is no mention of metric measurement in any of the recipes. Hallelujah we say but younger people might find it awkward. Pity. Excuse us now while we attempt tripe in batter with 1 POUND of tripe, 1 CUP of flour, 112 TEASPOON of salt and ...

Freda Sing will relate festive folktales from her native China. Marie Monique Jean Gilles will introduce Toron- to audiences to Haitian folktales (accompanied by a drummer).

Dec. 16, at 2 p.m. in the Brigantine Room, York Quay Centre, 235 Queens Quay West. Wed. December 12, 111111116 THE POST Pate 7 with Rene Soetens, M.P. On Nov. 27, The tion. Michael Wilson, Minister of Finance, officially released an analysis of taxation statistics showing that tax reform resulted in a fairer per- sonal income tax system. The figures clearly show that the lax system became more progressive and that the burden of taxation was reduced for most Canadians, especially for those with low or moderate incomes. Three -and -a -half years ago, the government issued a White Paper on Tax Reform. It outlined the need for far- reaching changes to improve our taxation system to in- crease its fairness and its capacity to provide greater assistance to Canadians in need. As well, these reforms had to take into account the continuing need for a stable source of revenue. Other major aspects of the White Paper includ- ed the replacement of the antiquated manufacturers' sales tax with fairer means of taxing consumption - the GST - and the need for a stronger corporate tax scheme. In 1968, the previous income tax system which had 10 rates with a top marginal rate of 34% was replaced with a structure with 3 rates: 17%,26% and 29%. Personal exemp- tions were converted into tax credits, because exemptions provided greater benefit to higher income earners. Credits are fairer because they provide the same degree of tax relief to all taxpayers. Finally, many tax preferences were eliminated or restricted. Two years later. the figures clearly show that Canada's tax system has indeed become more progressive and fair, reducing the burden of taxation on those most in need. In 1968, there were 290,000 more non-taxable seniors than in 1987. There were 905,000 fewer taxable Canadians earning less than $15,000 in 1988. Between 1987 and 1988, the disposable incomes of Can1a- drans increased substantially. After-tax per capita income increased by &6% from $18,195 to 519,757. As the chart below shows, a larger port ion of income tax was born by high income individuals in 1988.

They highlight how the fundamental structural changes we have undertaken can deliver tangible benefits. Canada's tax system has indeed become more progressive and fair, reducing the burden of taxation on those most in need. In a Gallup poll conducted almost exactly a year ago, Three-quarters of Canadians surveyed believed that we had W been successful in making the tax system fairer. Just one in ten thought our reform initiatives were succeeding. But these figures show that the minority was right. Our tax reform proposals have done what we said they would do, and because of it, our tax system is fairer.

The Alzheimer Society "Memories "These Foolish Things""As Time Goes By"...all haunting musical classics that bring smiles (or tears) every time you hear them. They'll bring smiles to the faces of Alzheimer Society volunteers this Christmas. Well-known Canadian piano artist John Arpin has recorded these favourites and many others, on a tape entitled, "John Arpin Remembers for Those Who Can't". All proceeds from its sale Will assist the work of the Alzheimer Society: research into the causes of this Insidious disease, and aid to its victims and their caregivers. Arpin got the idea for the tape after a benefit concert he gave at Thomson Hall. Flooded with requests for a repeat, he recorded a col- lection of best -loved "memories" songs and presented this to the socie- ty to raise funds for their vital work. Seen as an ideal "stocking-stuffer" this Christmas, the tapes are available at $10 each. A pleasing mix of the smooth background music and lively airs for which Arpin is famous, the tape is perfect background or din- ner music. Tapes are available at Edwards Books Ar An across Metm. or wrj to or call : The Alzheimer Socie- ty for Metropolitan Toron- to, 990 Yonge St., Suite 3o1, Toronto, Ontario M4W 2J5.

Insurance Association Awards $150,000 For Study Of "Living Wills" Mark R. Daniels, presi- dent of the Canadian Life and Health Insurance Association (CLHIA), has announced the award of a $150,000 medical scholar- ship to a doctor studying some of health care's most provocative ethical issues, including the use of "living Wills". Recipient of the award, Dr. Peter A. Singer, assis- tant professor of medicine and associate director of the Centre for Bioethics at the University of Toronto, believes that widespread use of "living wills" would improve the quality of health care and could save the North American health care system billions of dollars a year. A "living will" stipulates in advance whether a pa- tient wishes that doctors undertake extraordinary measure to sustain life. "These bio -ethical issues, such as medical care at the end of life, are of pressing concern to Canadians," says Dr. Singer. "Practical solu- tions are needed. My research will aim to pro- vide these solutions building upon the tradi- tional legal and philosophical approaches to medical ethics." The medical scholarship will also allow Dr. Singer to examine other concerns in- cluding organ transplants and the distribution of $medical services. Born in Toronto, Dr. Singer graduated from the Faculty of Medicine, University of Toronto in 1984. He has received numerous awards and was a Robert Wood Johnson Clinical Scholar at Yale University. The Canadian Life and Health Insurance Medical Scholarships assist Cana- dian university medical schools to attract and re- tain promising young facul- ty members who have a major interest and demonstrated ability in health research. Each Year, the Medical Scholar- ships Program, funded by CLHIA member com- panies, awards successful recipients scholarships for specific research projects.

I travel Culture In The Land Of Sunshine, Sand & Surf by Jan Tully Is it possible that culture exists in Florida, the land of sunshine, sand and surf? Absolutely! Not only does culture exist here, it flourishes. After a day of developing your tan, in- dulge your intellectual and asthetic senses at an art gallery or museum. Although the southern- most city, Key West, is famous for its spectacular sunset celebration at Mallory Square Pier, it should also be noted for its intriguing and historical museums. The Hemingway House, at 907 Whitehead Street, was "home" to one of this country's most in- fluential writers, the late Ernest Hemingway. The house and its fur- nishings have been kept in- tact, as if Hemingway were about to return from a fishing trip or from a drink or two in his legendary watering hole, Sloppy Joe's. Here Hemingway penned such distinguished works as "For Whom The Bell Tolls", "A Farewell to Arms", "To Have and Have Not". and "Green Hills of Africa". Across the street is the Lighthouse Maritime Museum, the original Key West lighthouse built in 1347. On display is military hardware. including one of the only two remaining "two man" submarines launched by the Imperial Japanese :Pavy during World War II. On the same street, near the Gulf waterfront. stands the Audubon House. the residence where John James Audubon sketched the plants and birds of the Florida Keys. Another fascinating museum nearby is the Oldest House in Key West. once home of a sea captain and his nine daughters. Ship models, marine ar- tifacts, and antiques are on display. The Mel Fisher Maritime Heritage Society's Treasure Museum is devoted to Fisher, his expeditions, and treasures valued at $250 million.

Whitehall, the magnificent mansion built by Flagler in 1901 as a wedding present for his wife, is now a tribute to the great railroad tycoon who established Palm Beach as a playground for himself and his wealthy f riends. In addition to the period rooms, carefully restored to reflect the opulence of a bygone era, there are special collections of porcelains, paintings, silver, glass, dolls, lace, costumes and other family memorabilia. Tour the Norton Gallery of Art, considered by many to be the best small museum south of Washington, DC, and see a fine collection of jade, Oriental sculpture, and American and European masterpieces.
