Town of Whitevale may be
getting a garbage dump
after all.
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

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,

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.

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

proaches to French- ianguage governance.

recently with the Ministr's Legislation Branch.
The group represents both French -language and English-

recommendations to the Minister by May 15. 1991.
"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. Under current legislation. new school
boards can oniy be established at the time of regular school
board elections. Proposed amendments to the Education

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.

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.

children's musical "Piney
The Talking Christmas
Tree" is back on stage this
winter at the Bathurst

The show, a family
event, first earned rave
reviews and played to sold -
out houses in Toronto when
it was staged in 1978.
Canadian songwriter,
playwright and author
Mary Eustace, who
created and directed the
original Piney, is once
main taking charge, this
time with a cast of well-
known Toronto stage ac-
tors.
For the 1990 production,
Mary has written three
new songs, bringing the
number of tunes to 13.
Children and their parents
are sure to delight in the
music and the magical
adventures of Piney as he
prepares for Santa Claus'
surprise party.
Following its successful

and the cast of unforget-
table characters will be
seen in an animated TV
series, produced by An-
numundi in Los Angeles, to

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

disguised as dance. 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 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.

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.

worse or better than most
health books but we can't

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

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

Saturday nights. when the

As a special treat. Zoo ad-

you can visit the Zoo After

view a side of the Zoo never

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-

Ornish's Program for

the collection of healthy

of this Random House

about this book that should
be mentioned before con-

This is an American

around the world, featuring
traditional festive tales
from medieval England,
Italy, China, Haiti and
Canada.
Part history, part
literature, part theatre, the
oral tradition of storytell-
ing is an integral aspect of
many cultures. Through its
use of folktales and
legends, voice and
language, storytelling is a
unique way for the listener
to experience other
cultures.
Mariella Bertelli will tell
festive tales based on
Italian folktales and
legends. Joan Badger has
been telling stories for 40
years and will recount
festive tales from medieval
England. Freda Sing will
relate festive folktales
from her native China.

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.

Canadians should be encouraged by these fine Ings. 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.

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.

The school will teach
young hockey enthusiasts

low teacher -student ratio.
The instructors have all

semi-professional hockey
leagues, and bring over
seven years of experience
in teaching children the
finer points of the game.
Dan Maclssac, chief in-
structor for the Hockey
Development Clinic feels
that hockey is an ideal
sport for children to get in-
to.
"Hockey is a sport that is
not only excellent exercise
for young, growing
bodies," comments
Maclssaac, "but also
teaches kids important
social skills like how to
work in a team environ-
ment and how to co-operate
with other people."

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.
