DAVID SOMERVILLE
CBC Needs
New Vision
The CBC's chairman -
designate, Patrick Watson,
should be fired.
He shouldn't be fired
because he agreed to the
recent CBC budget cut-
backs: they were necessary.
Watson should be fired
because he is an elitist
whose misplaced faith in
goventrrlerlt intervention) has
banded him to private
sector solutions to the
CBC's problems.
For instance, he stead-
fastly refused to consider
selling some of the recently
dosed CBC outlets to the
private sector.
Private companies are
certainly interested in
buying these stations. A
businessman in Edmonton,
for instance. wants to buy
Calgary's CBC operation
and employees of CBC to
Saskatoon want to buy their
local TV station.
Watson, however. won't
consider it.
He prefers to let CBC
staff in those centres being
dosed lose their jobs ranter
than work for a private
corrparry which had bought
a C8C broadcasting fioense.
Watson's attitude on this
matter is difficult to under-
stand given that several
private stations already
operate quite effectively, as
CBC affiliates.
Indeed. a study by the
Fraser Institute has shown
that privately -owned CBC
affiaatesare more efficient
governmertt owned and M
counterparts.
Of course, Wbilsor i does
have his reasons. For one
thing, he wants to protect
the cultural purity of
Canada's airwaves. As he
put it: 'I don't want those
airwavescontaminated by
American crap in the
evening.'
Thefact that Canadians
might want to watch
'American crap' in the
evening does not concern
him, for he is also
determined to make sure
that the CBC does not
become 'market driven'.
In other words. Watson
does not want the CBC
airing prograrnnrnes which
people want to watch.
Instead, he wants the CBC
to air programmes which he
thinks they should watch.
He wants to impose his
tastes or the tastes of his
producers on the public.
With his ar*4ree market
bias, Watson is dearly more
interested in preaching to
Canadiansthan in fulfilling
their viewing and aster ing
needs.
That makes him the
wrong mat to lead the CBC
into the 1990s. What the
CBC desperately needs is
someone at the helm who
wants to serve the needs of
Canadian listeners and
viewers and whose mind is
open to new solutions for
major probierns at the C8C.

Nixon Says NDP Needs
To Deal With Recession
instead of getting on track to deal with the recession, the
new NDP government has stalled at the starting line. In-
ienm Liberal Leader Robert Nixon said recently.
"The recession is going to hit hard this winter, and the
NT)P has done little to help the 11.0U0 workers who have lost
their jobs since the NiIP was elected. Nor has the govern-
ment done anything to protect workers who will lase their
jots this winter." .Mr. Nixon said during a news conference
to mark the end of the first NT)P legislative sitting.
"The NDP has failed to lake action to aid farmers, small
business, and first-time home buyers, or to implement m-
itianves that will encourage investors to create jobs and
speed economic recovery." he said.

Revolutionary Diet Concept
From Weight Watchers
Now a truly revolu-
tionary dieting concept
enables the dieter to lose
weight without charrgitng
his or her lifestyle.
Many experts agree that
the major reason most
diets don't worst is that peo-
ple are unable or u nwithng
to change their lifestyles_
..And why should they,"
says Marie Ldwick. presi-
dent of Weight Watchers
for Southern Ontario,
Quebec and Atlantic
Canada". A lifestyle based
on career• home and family
represents something
meaningful to us. Because
we need or want to lose
weight, shouldn't mean
that we must drastically
alter our living pattern...
Yet. most of today's diets
either require the dieter to
consume pre-packaged
foods that preclude eating
in restaurants or with
friends, or are so stringent
that they keep the dieter
house -bound -
"No more," says Ld-
wick. "Now Weight Wat-
chers introduces Personal
Choice, a three level pro-
gram to fit any lifestyle
that lets members choose
at which rate they wish to
lose, what they want to eat
and when."

TAX FACTS
Some Ontario Retail Sales Tax ( RST) Changes
You Should Know About
Recently, the Ministry of Revenue announced that the Province of
Ontario will not charge Retail Sales Tax (RST) on the federal Goods
and Services Tax (GST).
If you have paid RST on top of GST, you may receive a refund from
your retailer.
The following changes became effective January 1, 1991:
• To offset some of the costs incurred by vendors as a result of the
GST, the Ontario government is increasing the amount of compen-
sation to vendors for the collection and remittance of RST.
• The RST audit and refund period has been increased from three to
four years.
• The refund of RST on goods taken out of Ontario by tourists and
on transient accommodation will be amended.
If you want to know more about these changes in the Retail Sales
Tax Act, call vour local RST office listed in the blue pages of your
telephone book, or the Ministry of Revenue's multilingual Telephone

Canadian Oper
From Feb. 8 to 24th, the
Canadian Opera Company
will perform in the schools,
libraries, community cen-
tres and hospitals of Fast
York, Etobicoke, North
York, Scarborough and
York with "Opera Metro -
Wide".
The program an expan-
sion of the COC's Metro
Residencies Program, is
made possible through the
generous support of the
Municipality of
Metropolitan Toronto
Cultural Affairs Division
and Consumers Gas.
Tickets to each event are
available through the in-
dividual clubs and
organizations, with many
of the events being free.
For more ticket informa-
tion call Martha Paisley at
4416) 3636671.
Through its "Opera
Metro -Wide" program. the
Canadian Opera Company
is able to present opera
highlights to many people
who may never have had
the opportunity to see a
fully -staged opera produc-
tion.
The performances will
take place in schools,
libraries, workplaces, com-
munity centres, hospitals
and seniors' centres. Lec-
tures, workshops and
displays will be offered in
conjunction with a number
of the performances.
The COC will present
three different programs.
Two of the programs con-
sist of informal operatic
concerts which are 20 or 45
minutes in duration. The
selections featured range
from Mozart's "Cosi fan
tutte" to Bernstein's
"Trouble in Tahiti".
The third program, "The
Magic Mozart", is a
children's show which uses
excerpts from many of
Mozart's best -loved operas
to tell the story of the com-
poser's life and to in-
troduce the audience to
New Performing Arts
Centre For North York
The centre, located just
south of North York Citv
Hall, will open in Fall 19903
with an 1500 seat Main
Theatre, a 1000 seat Recital
Hall, a 250 seat Studio
Theatre and an Art
Go Ilery.
Architects are Zeidler
Roberts Partnership Ar-
chitects, and the facility
will be managed by the
live Entertainment Cor
poration of Canada.
"What is the mandate of
the Studio Theatre? How
much will it cost to rent the
Sts'io? "What sort of
space and equipment will
be provided in the Studio
Theatre?"
You need information.
You want to begin planning
now for the seasons ahead.
But what can we tell you,
the artists and arts
organizations of North
York and the rest of Metro
Toronto?
Well, with architectural
drawings and a detailed
model near completion, the
design and management
teams have clearly been
busy, creative and produc-
tive. It's also appropriate
that members of the arts
community have a role in
this design and planning
process, as well as a grow-
ing profile in the develop-
ment of the centre.
The Ideas Contest is one
opportunity for these
voices to be heard.
In brief, the Ideas Con-
test is a chance for you, the
experts - directors,
dancers, musicians, con-
ductors, writers,
choreographers, actors,
and singers - to articulate
the creative spirit of the
studio theatre.
Send in your thoughts,
suggestions and recom-
mendations on the Studio
Theatre and its programs.
As a rental space, with
state-of-the-art facilities,
the studio will offer
unlimited scope to realize
virtually any artistic vi-
sion. How will you make
the Studio Theatre come to
life? With music... with
script development... with
multi -media presenta-
tions? Will you challenge
us, entertain or inspire us?
All responses will be
drawn upon to compile a
statement of mandate for
the Studio Theatre. Your
ideas and words will define
the future role of this im-
portant new performing
arts space.
In addition, the
responses will be collected
in a custom designed,
presentation style Ideas
Book. This volume will
become an integral ele-
ment in the centres inven-
tory of communications
tools.
As well as being a perma-
nent record of the
achievements and goals of
North York (and
Metropolitan Toronto) ar-
tists and arts groups, the
Ideas Book will assure a
profile for the arts com-
munity in a wide variety of
public display oppor-
tunities.
Will there be prizes'. Of
course'
Actually. all ideas will be
winners. So, at a special
awards reception in early
1991, ten entries, chosen at
random, will receive an
"Opening Night Gift Cer-
tificate". On your first
opening night in the centre.
the $250 rental charge will
be paid by the Performing
Arts Centre Corporation.
The Ideas Contest - the
process and the results -
marks an exciting new
phase of the centre's
development. Your par-
ticipation is the key to an
even brighter future for the
arts in North York, and a
vital new performance
space for Metro Toronto.
A Penny
For Your
Thoughts
Are you a hoarder? Some
people hoard happy
memories, but many peo-

hoard pennies.
If you're one of those,
please look into that bottom

and take your pennies to
your nearest "Memory

They'll help the

OPENINGS:
Last night at the Royal
Alex it was Kean, a more or
less biographical play
about the renowned British
actor, written by Jean-Paul
Sartre.
Full review follows
soonest.
Tonight at the Winter
Garden it's The White
Horse Inn as presented by
Toronto Operetta Theatre.
The run is quite short -only
until this Saturday.
regrettably -and you should
not await our review.
The White Horse Inn is a
beloved operetta by the
relatively not well known.
Ralph Benatsky. It is not
performed as often as one
could wish because of
financial considerations.
As originally written and
presented it is quite simply
too lavish and expensive to
be presented except on
special occasions and in
large theatres. rather like
The Band Wagon by
Howard Dietz and Arthur
Schwartz.
It should be most in-
teresting and certainly en-
joyable to see it presented
in the intimacy of the
superbly restored Winter
Garden.
Local theatre goers
might be interested to
know that. unless our
memory is not serving
well. publicist Gino Empry

duced

High Park Ski Club Celebrates 40 Yrs.
Canada's largest non-
profit adult ski club is
celebrating its 40th season
of operation.
Toronto's High Park Ski
Club provides a wide varie-
ty of sports related and
social activities for its 3,000
members. And it's all done
through the work of
volunteers.
High Park is a "travell-
ing" club, which means it
does not own ski hills or
trails - it offers members
bis trips, at cost, to all the
ski facilities within reach

of Metro Toronto.
The club still has
honourary members who
attended the first meetings
in the 1950.51 season. At
that time skiing was an ex-
otic sport. A day's outing
might have involved riding
the ski train up to the
Craigleath station, near
Collingwood, where horse-
drawn sleighs would take
skiers to the top of the hill.
The average cost for a
day's skiing then was $5.
High Park instructors
were ( and still are) very
experienced in First Aid.
The early skiers were said
to rely on blind faith and
the "break first system" - a
belief that since the wooden
skis were thinner than your
leg, they would break first
in an accident.
In the beginning, the
Club was affiliated with the
High Park YMCA, located
at Dundas St. W. and An-
nette St., but as the
popularity of skiing in-
creased in the early 1950's,
the club was incorporated
as a non-profit organiza-
tion.

Here and There
A Canadian Succes Story
Despite the poor economic climate and a general slump
expeienced by Toronto retailers, the 161h annual One of a
Kind Christmas Canadian Craft Show and Sale, held Nov. 22
to Dec. 2, 1990, was remarkably successful and saw 138010
avid shoppers through the doors of the Automotive
Building, Exhibition Place.
With more than 550artisans from across Canada, the One
Of A Kind Canadian Craft Show offers an unparalleled op-
portunity for unique gift shopping -- obviously enough of a
temptation to defy the recession.
in addition to purchasing, visitors to the show were also
in the holiday spirit of giving. Monetary gifts totalling
$13,500 and 1,000 pounds of non-perishable food were
donated to Foodshare at The Toronto Life CHUM FM
"Tree of Life". Exhibitors and visitors alike are looking
forward to the One of A Kind Springtime Canadian Craft
Show and Sale, Wed. Mar. 27 to Sun. Mar. 31, Exhibition
Place, Toronto.

Baking cookies is one of those holiday traditions that we
manage to squeeze in no matter how busy we are. Butter
cookies are always a favourite and this recipe for BUTTER
CRISP ROSETTES from the Dairy Bureau of Canada is
a real winner. Their pretty flower shape is easy to make.
Just pipe the dough from a pastry bag fitted with a rosette
tip in the same way you pipe whipped cream. No special
cookie press is required. Because they're made with fresh
creamery butter the cookies will taste just as good if you
roll the dough into balls and flatten with a fork. When the
taste really counts. only butter will do.

Durham Schools Are
Safe From Asbestos
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
the obligations of
employers and owners with
respect to asbestos in the
workplace.
This regulation requires
that owners maintain a
record of the location of
friable asbestos to enable
workers to be aware of its
location when carrying out
repairs/ renovations that
owners must have a train-
ing program for all
workers who might work
close to the material to
enable them to know the
hazards, to use protective
equipment and to use safe
work practices and that
owners must inspect the
material from time to time
to determine its condition
and also must maintain it
in good condition.
The regulations do not re-
quire that asbestos be
removed but that it be pro-
perly contained including
encapsulation, enclosure
and that proper
maintenance of asbestos -
covered surfaces be pro-
vided so that it poses no
risk to workers or the
general public.
In response to these
regulations, the Durham
Board of Education has
established an Asbestos
Management Team. All
Durham Board school and
office buildings have been
surveyed by an outside con-
sultant to identify locations
of friable (crumbling) and
non -friable asbestos. The
Asbestos Management
Program provides for con-
tinuous monitoring and
maintenance of identified
asbestos sites, as well as
planned removals in accor-
dance with Ministry of
Labour regulations.
At the present time, 15
Durham Board schools and
one office site have been
identified for planned
removal of friable
asbestos. Some have ceil-
ing tiles (containing only
THIS WEEK
_,. from Ottawa
_ _ ;i*
with Rene Soetens, M.P.
On Dec. 11, 1990, The Hon. Robert R. de Cotrel, Federal
Environment Minister, revealed the government's Green
Plan for a healthy environment. The Green Plan is a com-
prehensive five-year, $3 billion plan that will help Cana-
dians clean up, protect and enhance their environment.
This is over and above the $1.3 billion already spent by the
federal government on the environment.
The Plan contains more than 100 separate initiatives that
are scientifically based and confirmed in public opinion.
Between April and August 1990, there were numerous infor-
mation and consultation sessions attended by more than
10,000 Canadians. A wrap-up session condensed this input
into a list of recommendations. of which the great majority
have been integrated into the Plan. I believe this
demonstrates that the federal government listens to Cana-
dians. As a result, this is Canada's Green Plan. the people's
environmental action plan.
The Green Plan provides definite targets and schedules
which will drive environmental initiatives within federal
jurisdiction for years to come. These initiatives are divided
into several main areas, with real dollar values attached to
them. Each area deals with specific problems that need to
be addressed, of which I will provide greater detail in
future articles. Briefly, the areas are as follows: Clean air,
water and land - 5850 million. Sustaining renewable
resources - $350 million: Special spaces and Species - $175
million. The Arctic - $100 million: Global environmental
security - $575 million, Decision making - $500 million. Star-
ting in our own house - $275 million-, Emergency
preparedness - $175 million.
It is also important to note that the Green Plan is a rolling
plan. We are addressing problems that have taken decades
o develop and must now be tackled b) means of com-
prehensive and sustained effort. At the end of year one, we
i l i ident ify act ions for year six. In this way, we can adopt a
consistent, broad based, step by step approach to defining
and implementing our national environmental strategy.
Admittedly, the Green Plan will not solve all of Canada's
environmental woes. ibwever. I agree %•hole-heariedly
with Mr. de Court when he stated that "Canada's Green
Plan is a major step forward for our country". It greatly ex-
pands. organizes and focuses our environmental activities.
It is a document that builds on our past successes and
harnesses the optimism of Canadians about our ability to
secure a healthy environment. If you would like more infor-
ma t ion on the Green Plan or a copy of the document call
