Durham Educa tion Highlights Choirs Perform Trustees were entertain- ed by two choral groups iw troduced by Music Consul- tant Marian Williams. The first, a choir of seven Durham Board teachers led by Music Resource Teacher Anne Dunsmuir, sang a number of tradi- tional Christmas carols. The second, a boys' choir from Coronation PS under the direction of Music Teacher Marie Watson, performed two selections for trustees and led trustees in the singing of "Here We Come A -Caroling" and --The Hol- ly & The Ivy" Both groups were thank- ed for their seasonal per- formances and wished holi- day greetings by the board.

The Chairman and Vice Chairman of each of the committees will be elected at the first meeting of each conunittee in 1991.

January 16, 1991 Opinion a page for expression for you and us We Need Pickering Airport by Bob Watson II seems like years since the federal government bought thousands of acres of land in Pickering for a second interna- tional airport for Metropolitan Toronto and area. The price to have an international airport was reasonable then. Today there is much dialogue about activating this same airport site - but now the price tag has grown by leaps and bounds. Last October federal Transport Minister Douglas Lewis announced that the government was once again looking at the Pickering area. Pickering Mayor Wayne Arthurs says his town has always been against the proposed airport and referred to the noise from airplanes bothering his residents. That's fun- ny in a way because airplanes fly over most of the Greater Toronto Region today making their way to Pearson inter- national Airport. One of the advantages of an airport in Pickering to local residents would be the large amount of industry which would be attracted to the town. This assessment would help reduce property taxes to town residents. But let's stop talking about this and do it' Time is flying by and costs keep going up.

Light Airy Chiffon Cake: Wonderful For Any Occasion Dessert does not have to be decadent to be delicious. Air cakes like angel, sponge and chiffon, glazed or topped with sliced fruit or fruity sauce are a light delight and the per- fect finishing touch to a festive dinner party or the feature of an after -eight get together. Stiffly beaten egg whites are the base for angel cake and the reason for its airiness. For sponge and chiffon cakes the egg whites are folded into the batter for leavening. All three air cakes bake to be much higher than butter cakes and -consequently suit tube pans. Once the cakes are baked, turn the pans upside down so tltey remain stretched to their ;maximum volume as they cool. This eliminates arty settling. Since all air cakes freeze well they can be baked ahead of time. For best results glaze or top the cake after it has been removed from the freezer.

January 16, 1991 Bill Watt' s PREAMBLE: This column has been written before the now past deadline for a peaceful resolution in the Middle East. If it should be the case that a war is now beginning as this is being read, one supposes that our scribblings might seem in- consequential.

STAGE ONE: We're keen for Kean! Of course it's a cornball lead line and probably used before but how can we help it? We are indeed keen for Kean, the current attrac- tion at the Royal Alex and a well nigh perfect beginning to a year of theatre going. For those %bo might be unaware. Edmund Kean was one of the four major actors of the English speaking stage in the late 1700s and early 1800s along with William Macready. Charles Macklin and Philip Kemble. Hew -as -as were all actors of the time, by necessity - larger than life: given to expansive gestures and melodramatic declama- tions. He was en fin, a ham but not a harnbare. There's a difference. Arguably the best recent example of that kind of ac- tor was the late Charles Laughton, a scenery chewer par excellence but also capable of getting in- side each role. Kean was lionized as an actor but patronized as a person. He was the darling of the hoi polloi; a sought after playmate of the Establishment. It goes without saying that women "loved" him and sought him out even more than they did his friend and fellow tech. the Prince of Wales.. Such was his popularity that he was always "On" and as the years of acting. drinking and wenching took their inevitable toll, he was never certain when or whether he was acting. It is this aspect of the man that is explored in the Jean-Paul Sartre play with superb translation by Frank Hauser). Surpris- Worlds ingly, for Sartre and the au- dience, it is presented as a comedy rather than the ex- pected tragedy which is always the deserved punishment for the squandering of talent. Not only is it a comedy, it is very nearly a farce com- edy replete with openings and closings of secret doors, unexpected ap- pearances of bosomy women, expostulations and even, shouting. All is ac- complished, however, with the restrained discipline that is the hallmark of British theatre. In the title role, Derek Jacobi (a look -a -like for local actor Douglas Chamberlain with whom we acted many years ago) is all that role requires and probably more in a perfor- mance that is essential bravura. His voice is not rich - rather more Harrison than Burton -but what an instru- ment it is and how wonder- fully it's used! It soars with flourishes through labyrin- thine exposition, chops at expletives, dances with lyricism and .. is always heard, even in a whisper. His body, though short, is eloquent; his face, ex- pressively mobile and reflective of Kean's earlier life as a tumbler rather than a man now virtually living out of one. Quite a remarkable per- formance all 'round. As one expects from a British production, all others in the cast are technically adept, so much so that all are clearly at ease with bravura. As the Prince of Wales, Nicholas Farrell is all decadent elegance. Kate Duchene as an aristocratic Countess, object of his and Kean's amatory pursuit, is elegant decadence man- quee. Sarah Woodward por- trays a young free sprit ge- nuinely in love with Kean. The characterization calls for spunk ( double entendre only for those who wish it) and Miss Woodward offers it nicely. Every great actor has his valet and Ian McNeice pro- vides comic panache in the role. He is a Robbie Col- trane type and that should convey it all to you. The foregoing are the principals and one regrets Around and About Your Dining &Entertainment Guide the brevity of review necessitated by our diminishing space. We ex- press the same regrets for the balance of the cast while happily and without reservation proclaiming that each member deserves a full review. Kudos, too, for the clever idea of scene changes being made while the audience is being further entertained by musicians in motley. Fine sets as well. clever but not glaringly utilitarian: sumptuous without ever detracting from the play. We can think of nothing that could possibly detract from this production. One is indeed keen for Kean. Go see it. IN PRINT: Edmund Kean appears as a character in Mrs. Rushworth by Victor Gor- don (Andre Deutsch, publisher). It's a cleverly written trifle of a book in the style of a sequel of Mansfield Park. Mr. Gordon has nicely mastered a mimicry of Jane Austen and the first few chapters of Mrs. Rushworth are interesting enough but after that, it becomes wearying to wade through pithy paragraphs about style and or lack of same. Also, Mansfield Park was one of Miss Austen's lesser efforts after Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility. Frankly, we never really cared about Miss Bertram of Mansfield Park and her further adventures as Mrs. Rushworth, are not so much amusing as tolerable. Anyway. Victor Gordon has presumbably ac- complished what he set out to do and Mrs. Rushworth remains worthy of custom. And. as mentioned earlier, Edmund Kean is a character in it. So too is Gioacchino Rossini.

In addition the concert will feature the premiere of Ken Bray's Pieces de clavegin entitled Le Triom- phante. Since its founding. The Hannaford Street Silver Band. Canada's only pro- fessional brass band. has become a thriving part of Canada's musical com- munity. It has been en- thusiastically received by the public and critics alike. Dating back over 140 years, the musical heritage of brass bands is one that includes virtuoso soloists, rousing marches. original compositions and transcriptions of the sym- phonic repertoire. It is to this rich tradition that the Hannaford Street Silver Band brings a high degree of professionalism and musical achievement. it's not one of the better cult Wein-as they have come to be called - offerings. The songs are not at all memorable and one cannot recall or hum any of them as this is being written. The plot is no less silly than expected in operetta. So why are there goose bumps on our arms as we recall the production of it just ended at the Winter Garden and presented by Toronto Opere►ta Theatre? We're not sure that the question needs to be answered but if one must provide an answer, let it be along the following lines. The White Horse Inn is set in a time when there was much wrong with the world but also much that was fine, especially among the privileged. None of the problems in- volved in the plot are dark and difficult and one knows that wfiat ever they are, the solutions will be found in a song, a dance, a kiss or all three. The T.O.T. production was not without some faults but they were far out measured by the triumph of scaling down what is in- tended to be a lavish pro- duction to the intimacy of the Winter Garden. Consider the orchestra- tion for example. The pit at the Winter Garden is not large enough to accom- modate the size of or- chestra required for the original arrangements. So new arrangements were made for a smaller one. The result is that the sweeping score now sounds not unlike the fine dance music of the thirties. And, it's most pleasant. The sets, too, had to be scaled down but here again, the T.O.T. rose to Tickets are $15 for adults in advance from the St. and $12 for students and Lawrence Centre box office seniors, and are available by calling 366-7723.

In conjunction with Weight Watchers of Southern Ontario, the two teams will begin a 10 -week At Work program on Jan. the occasion with a plea- sant pastel version of the famed White Horse Inn in St. Wolfgang on the Wolfgangsee. We referred to some faults. Actually, only one of them should be mentioned. On opening night it seemed that the orchestra had not yet come to terms with the Winter Garden's acoustics and frequently threatened to drown out the singers. The latter more than held their own but it seemed to us that is was an un- necessary struggle. The singers? All jolly good. Michael Burgess, late of Les Miserables, was a cheerfully insouciant head waiter in love with Josepha, his employer. As the latter, Katherine Moulsdale was authoritarian but all women at the same time. Mark Dubois was essence of matinee idol and Shari Saunders, all inno- cent charm as his love. Reliable Grant Cowan clowned as a boorish businessman and also pro- ved again that he can swing a dashed efficient foot with the best of them in the dance numbers. Particularly enjoyable were Henry Ingram as a silly ass type and Dorothea Maillard as the object of his affection. Notwithstan- ding the characters they were portraying, they were most enjoyable with their singing and dancing. That's one of the many pleasures of operetta. There is, for example, no contradiction in having an aforementioned S.A. sing- ing like a hero and dancing like an Astaire. And did we spot old friend Joe Gascon in the chorus" The White Horse Inn was 17. Both of the enthusiastic teams will meet weekly at O.P.P. headquarters and continue this friendly com- petition until the grand winner is declared the week of Mar. 21. Weight Watchers will donate all registration fees from members to The Sun- shine Foundation of Canada. As well, officers and staff from both forces have generously agreed to collect pledges for pounds lost to further the drive. scheduled for a ridiculous- ly short rum and has now left us. If you saw it, con- gratulations. ii you did not, we can only suggest that you await the next T.O.T. product ion. We do .. with pleasure. OOPS: We have at hand a pro- motion kit for the motion picture Hidden Agenda which supposedly explores with new insight, the political problems. of and in Ireland. It's quite well prepared appearance wise but its ef- fect is nullified by an arti- cle in it written by one Dr. Eoin McKiernan who is noted as Founder -Irish American Cultural Association. It begins with the follow- ing quote. "O what a tangl- ed web we weave when first we practice (sic) to deceive" -George Bernard Shaw. Excuse us, but wasn't that written by Sir Walter Scott? And, Sir Walter knew the difference bet- ween the verb practise and the noun practice. FAST EXIT: In a review here of his book Legends, reference was made to the writing style of Tom Shales. Here's a sample of it from another context. After watching the Vice President during a George Bush State of the Union ad- dress he remarked ... "As for the look on Dan Quayle's face -how to describe it? Well, let's see. If a tree fell in a forest and no one was there to hear it, it might sound like Dan Quayle looks." This is the man "only a heart beat away" from suc- ceeding George Busts. Tremble. T - Canada Games In Prince Edward Island When the Canada Games torch is lit on February 17th in Prince Edward Island, the lives of some 8,000 Canadians will be directly enriched by this enduring sport legacy. Since their debut as part of the 1967 Centennial celebrations. close to 80.000 people have been directly involved in Winter and Summer Games held on a rotating biennial schedule. The Games are based on the Olympic example, with teams from every province and territory in Canada coming together for 12 days of intense competition and camaraderie. Young people learn so much from a Canada Games experience! They travel to another part of this vast country to meet Canadians of many dif- ferent cultures and regions. They have a chance to learn important Representing Canada At Women's Rugby World Cup The Canadian Rugby Union announces the travelling squad that will represent Canada at the 1991 Women's World Cup in Cardiff, Wales this April 6.14.

Other countries that will participate are England, the United States, Wales, Italy, the Netherlands, Sweden, Japan and Spain. Countries expected to join the com- petition are Frence, New Zealand and the U. S.S. R. The 1991 Women's Rugby Mural Routes The Scarborough Arts Council has announced an open invitational competi- tion. for a series of murals to be painted along Kingston Road, between June 1 and Sept. 15, 1991.

Deadline for entries is Feb. 20, 1991. Interested artists should contact Karin Eaton, Scar- borough Arts Council at 755.2209. World Cup offers Canada its best opporturuty ever to be successful on the field. The Canadian team has met international cornpeti- tion on three occasions, each time against the very powerful United States team. Canada, once ranked amongst the top four com- peting countries, may see some shifting in rank as a result of New Zealand's re- cent victories over the United States this past August, 1990. life skills such as team- work, perseverance and fair play. Some use the ex- perience as a springboard to international competi- tion, perhaps even to the Olympics. The valuable lessons and experience gained at the Games is the legacy which will live on for all of Canada long after the cheers in Prince Edward Island have faded.

The Pizza Hut-CAHA sponsorship package not only recognizes the con- tributions week in and week out of minor hockey players throughout the 1990-91 hockey season, but it also brings the entire "hockey family" together as it rewards kids, their coaches and families, too.

"Not only are all minor hockey players go- ing to receive recognition week -to -week throughout the season, but coaches and the players' families can also be involved. The Pizza Hut -CATIA sponsorship program in- cludes three distinct elements: the Pizza Hut Player -of -the -Week Awards, the Pizza Hut Team Meal Program and the Pizza Hut CAHA Fami- ly Discount Program. On -ice performance is not the only measure used to select the weekly reci- pient. The important aspect of this award is that every player on the team should win at least once during the season. The criteria set by each individual coach for selec- ting the weekly winner can include: the hardest worker in practice, the leader in the dressing room, a game -winning of- fensive play, a game - saving defensive play, an outstanding performance by a goaltender, a team leader on the ice, the most productive player in a fund-raising project, most sportsmanlike player or the player with the least number of penalties, etc. As the winner of the Piz- za Hut Player -of -the -Week Award, the player receives a personalized certificate recognizing his her ac- complishment signed by the team's coach as well as Murray Costello and Roland Walton and a coupon entitling the winner to a free Personal Pan Piz- za compliments of Pizza Hut.

The first ever Women's Rugby World Cup will demonstrate conclusively that the sport is well- established worldwide and it is also played to a high level of proficiency. The Canadian Squad will be annotnc'ed in the new year. Selection is done by National Coach David Brown of Vancouver, B.C. , Assistant Coach Tony Bauer of Lakehead Univer- sity in Thunder Bay and Ian Humphries of Edmon- ton, Alberta. The following countries have accepted invitations to participate in the first Women's Cup in Cardiff: United States, Canada, England, Wales, Italy, Netherlands, Sweden, Japan and Spain.

November Home Sales Reflect Economic Woes The aggregated number of residential sales fell 35.7 per- cent in Canada's 25 metropolitan centres during the month compared to the level recorded the previous year, says The Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA). Numerically, 12,102 homes traded hands during November, 6,721 fewer than the 18,823 transactions recorded last year. ' Ahh! Peace on earth at last — or at least here at 14 Croissant Crescent. The twins are actually doing their homework, Em is at the local high school starting her French lessons and for the first time in what seems like weeks, the house is free of relatives. So as I planned, I headed up to the attic to start my caulking and weatherstripping project. I got a great pamphlet from The Hydro and it said the best time to caulk the attic is in the winter, because it's not too hot up there and it's also easier to feel the spots where warm air's coming in from below. I was surprised to learn that up to 15 per cent of the air Ieaks in a house arc right in the attic. Anyway, Em and I want to insu- late up there, so we had to do this caulking and weathcrstrip- ping first. I had to laugh, though, rcmcm- bering what just happened. I guess Em and the kids will never let me live it down. We were up there just last week storing the Christmas dec- orations when my foot slipped between the joists and I put my foot right through Belinda's bcd- room ceiling. What a mess, with Belinda screeching and plaster in the hamster cage. Then the next day Em was on the phone with one of her cousins talking about something Great Aunt Hilda had done which annoyed me, and she said, "Phil was so mad, Ethel! He just went through the roof!" Then she realized what she said and everybody, the twins includ- ed, burst out laughing. And then, of course, Ethel had to have an explanation. Anyway, I got a great caulking gun for Chri-sirnas and went to the mall to get the right stuff. I went all out and got the type of caulk- ing which lasts at least 10 years. According to the pamphlet, caulking and weatherstripping are sort of like the same dog but with a different tail: caulking seals edges that meet, but don't move. and you weatherstrip when one surface moves, like at the bottom of a door. It was easy. And I have to say, I'm looking forward to cutting down on our heating bill. Up to 25 per cent, The Hydro said. I could use the money. It'll pay for a sheet of plaster- board and some paint for Belinda's ceiling.

Serving the Community Since 1950 gram In its Nov. 22, letter to Chairman Tom Jakobek and members of the City Services Committee, the board's Economic Development Committee indicates support for Toronto Hydro's "Report on a Plan for 13.111tV Con- version for the City of Toronto." The Toronto Hydro report expresses the need to convert the hydro system from an aging 4.5kV system to an upgrad- ed 13.8kV system. The pro- ject will take 25 years to complete at a cost of $1.55 billion (1990 dollars). The option selected for implementation provides for a partial tadergroun- ding of the system. which will maintain the attrac- tiveness of city streets while being significantly less expensive than other proposals that involve total undergrounding• Financing for the project involves a yearly overall average increases of 1.5 percent above the annual Ontario Hydro wholesale rate increases for a period of 12 years. The board recommends that City Council adopt the recommendations made by Toronto Hydro in their report. Metro's Proposed Ban of Various :Materials From Metro Landfill Sites. The board's En- vironmental Quality Com- mittee made a presentation and submitted a letter to the Oct. 31, meeting of the Metro Works Committee, expressing opposition to the Works Committee's proposal to ban all ex- cavated material including contaminated excavated material. The board believes that there are few alternative facilities prepared to take excavated material that is slightly contaminated and nor( -hazardous, leading to a disposal crisis for the in- dustries affected. If the proposal is approved by Metro Council, the ban will take effect on Jan. 1. 1991. The board also submitted a letter on this matter dated Nov. 12, to the On- tario Minister of the En- vironment requesting an immediate meeting with the Minister, the Metro Works Committee Chair - matt. Metro Chairman. and various affected associa- tions, to explore alter- natives to the current situa- tion. POLICY IN ACTION Second Injury and Enhancement Fuad.

Pensions Responding to the board's submission concer- ning Bill C-52 (-Tax Assistance for Retirement Savings," Feb. 22, 1990). Finance Minister Michael Wilson expressed his ap- preciation for the board's and other organizations' "many constructive sug- gestions' , noting that some of these had been incor- porated in the legislation. Mr. Wilson promised that other suggestions "will be reflected in the regulations pursuant to the bill" and that "these regulations will be promulgated as soon as possible". particularly valid when the subject is hotels. Ensuring that guests feel relaxed and comfortable in their home - away -from -home is an in- tegral step on the road to success. From the conception of its newest venture, The Montecassino Place Suites Hotel, the Varone Group Partnership understood the importance of securing a top-notch interior design firm for its team. With that in mind, the Varones ap- proached Torontonian Gerry Brown, head of Ar- chitectural Interiors and Gerry Brown & Associates. Brown is a seasoned specialist in hotels, whose credits include the Chateau Whistler in western Canada and the posh King Ranch north of Metro. Hot Kitchen During the recent Tony Roldan Hot Kitchen Com- petition for Apprentices, a total of 10 finalists gathered at Humber Col- lege for the final cools -off. A panel of guest chefs from Toronto completed the judging and chose Brian McAskil for 1st place. He is a 2nd year ap- prentice at The King Ed - In establishing a scheme for the executive rooms and suites at the hotel, Brown began with a com- mon color palette of soothing cream, pink and rose. His goal: a light, well co-ordinated look that in- corporates a variety of pleasing finishes and tex- tures. For common areas of the building, such as the cor. ridors and lounge, the designers opted for richer, more traditional colours that balance an abundance of dark oak panelling. The Montecassino Place Suites Hotel, North York's first luxury "suite" accom- modation, offers a welcom- ing residential atmosphere to corporate travellers, with a full range of business support facilities.

But, as a history buff, I must look pretty darned stupid walk- ing around with my eyes bulging out and my mouth frozen in a look of complete awe. How can I not be over- whelmed? Take Cologne, for instance. This im- pressive city situated on the banks of the Rhine River is over 2,000 years old! I am standing on stones laid by the Romans in 50 AD! There is a cathedral here that took 600 years to complete! The university has been educating people for more than 600 years! To a Canuck like me, coming from a country that makes a big deal over anything that has survived for more than 200 years. this is pretty heady stuff. A light drizzle has just begun as Deirdre and I emerge from Cologne's famous Cathedral. The misty veil only adds to the ambience of the structure. The Cathedral dominates the skyline of the city with impressive twin spires that try to touch the heavens. The gothic building was begun in 1248 but not com- pleted until 1880.

The statuary of the 14th century is of the Early Gothic style and faces of past bishops are chiseled into the tombs where they were laid to rest. Next to the Cathedral, or Dom to call it by its Ger- manic name, is a museum dedicated to Cologne's Roman past. The cen- trepiece of the Roman - Germanic Museum is the Dionysus mosaic dated to the 2nd century AD. The collection of Roman glass and utensils is also im- pressive and the schools of the area include visits to the museums as part of the curriculum. The Rhine River is a vital part of Cologne's life. The city exists as a major com- mercial centre and one of the most important traffic junctions on the Rhine. In addition to the constant flotilla of barges that transport goods along this vital waterway. Cologne is also home to the FJ) Ger- man Rhine Line and their fleet of cruise and excur- sion ships. Day cruises along the river take passengers past castles perched high on cliff tops and vineyards that seem to hang down steep hillsides. As if trapped in a time warp the Altstadt. or ad Town Centre, features small pubs and alehouses reminiscent of the 19th cen- tury. Unfortunately, this area smtained tremendous damage dun ng the war and many of the buildings are replicas of the originals. Like many European cities, there are sections of Cologne ,where vehicles are forbidden. Hohe Strasse and Schildergasse are pedestrian delights where you can mix with the locals without the need to dodge traffic. The New Town Hall was built in 1951 atop the re- mains of a Roman museum. It faces its predecessor which was completed more than 300 years ago. Other places of interest include the church of St. Maria with doors carved in the 11th century: the fortified gates of the original walled town and St. Andrew's Church from the 15th century. Cologne is also home to many trade fairs and dur- ing these times it is dif- ficult to get hotel rooms and good service. It is best to check with the German National Tourist Office in Toronto as to when they are held. There is something special about springtime in Cologne. That is when you can sit in a sidewalk cafe, sip a local beer called 'Kolsch' and gaze at the Cathedral across the square. In complete awe. Wed. January 16, 1991 THF, NEWS, POST Page 11 The Two Miamis Of Florida by Bob Rice There are really two Miamis in Florida. One is the bustling metropolis complete with all of the problems that go with a major city. There are areas where low- income families do battle with the bureaucrats and themselves trying to better their situations. There are the drug problems that now exist in most major popula- tion centres throughout the world, perhaps magnified even greater by television shows such as Miami Vice. A murder in Miami seems to make better copy for the papers then a similar event in, say, Detroit, because this city sells dreams for vacationers while the Michigan city is perceived as just another cosmopolitan community. Then there is the other Miami. This is the other Miami. This is the holiday destination that has lured seekers of sun and sand ever since a lady named Julia Tuttle convinced Henry Flagler to extend his Florida East Coast Railway to the riverfront community in the late 1890s. Almost a hundred years later tourists arrive by all modes of transport: cars, buses, trains. planes and boats. In the Greater Miami area they find almost every type of cultural, sport or entertainment venue possi- ble along with a beach that has recently been reclaim- ed from the ocean and. ac- cording to many oldtimers, has never looked better. The area stretches from Golden Beach in the north to Homestead at the southern boundary of Dade County- In between are names that we have heard about over the years from seasoned Flora travellers. There is Key Biscayne. stretching out into the Atlantic and tipped with the Cape Florida State Park. Miami Beach with its famous Art Deco district and the Jackie Gleason Theatre of the Performing Arts is also home to some of the big names in the hotel business, Eden Roc, The Fontainebleau Hilton and the ever popular Doral Ocean Beach Resort. The other popular beach corn- munities are Surfside, Bal Harbour, and Sunny Isles. When the sunshine departs the beach area Miami compensates with top-quality entertainment. Travel Program At Pickering Central Library Now is the time to think about banishing those January blahs. Come out and enjoy an information program on the joys of "Cruising". Jan. 23rd from 7:30 to 9 p.m. at Central Library. A representative from the Sears travel agency will discuss cruise options and will also show a 15 minute film on cruises. This is a free seminar, but pre -registration is re- quested by calling 831-7809. Dinner cruises along the Intra -coastal Waterway should be booked well in advance with the same ad- vice applicable to some of the top-quality restaurants scattered throughout the area. Greater Miami is cer- tainly no slouch when it comes to the arts. In addi- tion to the Gleason Theatre, there is the Ruth Foreman Theatre in Miami Shores. The Hirschfeld in Miami Beach and the multi -theatre Coconut Grove Playhouse in Coconut Grove. Miami boasts five major ballet companies, a world-class opera company and three symphony orchestras. It goes without saying that those wanting the nightclub scene will find more than enough to keep them busy during their en- tire stay. Miami is also a major stopover spot for cruise - bound vacationers with more than two -and -a -half million people using the cruise port facilities last year. Many choose to spend a few days in the Miami area either prior to or following their time at sea. It is also trendy to "hop over" to Nassau or Freeport for an evening. You can catch a flying boat service right at the Port or any of the numerous flights operated every day out of Miami International Air- port. And then there is the shopping. Stretch your tax- free allowance to the limit and hit some of the best shopping in the U.S. Southeast. Getting set for GST effect on travel costs By Joanne Pooley, CA Whether your imminent travel plans include heading south f the winter. seeing the world or just getting across town, you will be better able to set off in the right direction if you know what's ahead when the Goods and Services Tax (GST) takes off on January 1,1991. If you use municipal transporta- tion services, such as commuter trains, or local buses or subways, you will be glad to know that you won'tpay GSTon your fares. And, in fact, the government's GS Consumer Information Office is even suggesting that prices on municipal transit tickets should come down slightly under the new tax system. While your city or municipality must pay GST on all goods and services it purchases, it is not supposed to be in any worse posi- tion than it was under the federal sales tax (FST) because of a com- plex rebate system. For those who get around town by ous taxi or who use airport limines, be aware that these fares will be subject to GST. If you get out of town by a train or btu that's not locally or municipally funded, you'll also pay GST on your fare. But, if you go out of the country by train or bus, you won't be taxed. Fliers will be taxed, though there are some exceptions. International air travel, except to the United States, is not taxable. However, flights within Canada will be subject to the GST. The price of ur domestic popackages will in - dude GSTon all taxable individual components, including hotels, meals, car rental and airfare. Air travel between Canada and the continental United States, which excludes Hawaii, is also 0 0 E subject to the GST. However, if you buy your ticket and begin your or trip outside Canada, the tax does not apply. Canadians living near larger U.S. cities, such as Buffalo, may pmt by flying from these centres to other U.S. or Canadian destinations. Package tours from Canada to the United States are also subject to GST on the portion of the tour that would be taxable if it were pur- chased separately. Inmost cases, this will mean that only airfare is T taxed. Those travelling in Canada or the / CCL ro` (�� 0+17cp United Stages during the holiday season, generally won't be tipped up by the GST. If you start out before the end of 1990 and return before February, 1991, and your trip is paid for by May, 1991, no GST is payable. However, for "snowbirds" and others who leave before the and of 1990 but do not return until after January, 1991, GST is payable on 50 per cant of the portion of the ticket or package subject to GST.

The goal of clean air, water and land for the citizens of to- day and tomorrow is based on a $8W million commitment by the government. To ensure that this goal is met, numerous steps will be taken. First, the Minister of Health and Welfare will release a comprehensive Health and En- vironmental Action Plan defining measures to deal with pollution -related health problems. This program will assess the human health hazards from acid rain, air toxics, smog, climate change and will create a new Drinking Water Safe- ty afety Act. Programs will encourage and support individual ac- tion in this area. Initiatives will be underlaken from coast to coast to pro- tect and enhance water quality and promote the wise and efficient use of water. New guidelines and codes of practice will be developed to help local authorities improve ground- water. Remedial action plans will be developed to deal with environmental "hot spots" and a Great Lakes Pollution Prevention Centre will be established. In addition, a five- year Ocean Dumping Action Plan will be put in place, effec- tive immediately. Beginning immediately. a National Regulatory Action Plan will be created to eliminate the discharge of persistent toxic substances into the environment. This process in- volves identifying each substance, measuring its degree of hazard, then developing a control plan. A Priority Substances list with 44 classes of the worst offenders has been created and a new list will be developed for 1994. In 1991, new regulations to restrict harmful effluent from pulp and paper mills will be introduced and over the next five years, the federal government will bring in strict controls for all toxic substances from major industrial sources: chemicals, effluent, wastes and emissions. Canadians now produce 30 million tonnes of garbage a year. Of the eight million tonnes of hazardous waste we generate, less than half is treated - the rest is dumped into landfills and sewers. To face the problems of reducing waste and creating better management of waste that has already been produced, the Green Plan will aim to reduce Canada's waste output by 50 percent by the year 2000. To accomplish this, national standards will be tightened. Sup` port for waste reduction, recycling and re -use technologies will be increased and federal government waste will be cut by 50 percent by the year 2000. It is the goal of this section of the Green Plan to ensure that citizens of today and tomorrow have the clean air, water and land essential to sustaining human health and the environment. 1 believe that our commitment of SM million in this direction is evidence of the federal govern- ment's sincerity in this effort. However, it is important to m reember that only through cooperation between govern- ment and individuals can we maintain a healthy environ - men[. if you would like a copy of the Green Plan, please contact my constituency office at 6W04M.
