Energy Report Received
The annual report of the
board's energy manage-

in elementary schools. The
use of water in secondary
schools increased as well
as the use of electricity in
elementary and secondary

board virtually did not

Council Notes

Mayor Arthurs and Coun-
cillors Dickerson and Mit-
chell were appointed to the
Civic Awards Committee
at a meeting of Pickering
Town Council on Mar_ 4th.
Citizens' Forum
Council carried a resolu-
tion endorsing the purpose
and goal of The Citizens'
Forum on Canada's future
and agreed it would sup-
port its citizens in conduc-
ting a forum in Pickering,
and present an opportunity
for Pickering residents to
participate in this discus-
sion on Canada's future
and the role that Pickering
might have in the ongoing
evolution of our country.
it would go away, but
wishing is one thing and
planning is another".
Even though council
agreed the Seaton issue
had been around for a long
time, Regional Chairman,
Gary Herrema insisted
council, give this old issue,
new attention. "We can't
put our heads in the sand.
The development of Seaton
is inevitable and we better
be prepared,,.
Regional council voted in
favor of circulating the
report throughout Durham
region.
development was revisited
by Durham regional coun-
cillors at a special meeting
held at regional head-
quarters on Tues. Mar.
12th.
The lengthy presenta-
tion, by Frank Clayton of
Clayton Research
Associates Ltd.. focused on
assessing the potential
financial impact of Seaton
on Durham region.
Presented to councillors
were, five variations on the
theme, forming different
phasing timing scenarios_
F_ssentially, the two year
study concluded that, ..the
province is not any closer
t o deciding how Seaton will
• -e developed"
The region is looking to
province to guarantee
old provincial accord to
,..ince Seaton's capital
rks costs, regardless
builds the community.
*r)uncillor Dickerson, not
:used by this issue rear -
n4 its head again, sug-
4twted that his fellow tour,
,•lllors "not waste any
more of their time on this
.,sue until the province ac-
..;,lIly puts the money on
rir• table".
"he disclosure of the
iancial implications and
,,h housing densities,
resulted in heckling
amongst the councillors.
"It will be the mother of all
ghettos.. lamented Coun-
cillor Potticarry. Mayor
Witty forrasted Durham as
being the "door mat to
Seaton".
Seaton's 20,000 acres,
and proposed population,
estimated at 90,000 people,
is slated for high density
residential development
assuming a 60% taxable
assessment base. The re-
maining 4D% would go to
future industry.
This brought about a
flurry of discussions as
councillors shifted focus,
and took advantage of the
opportunity to flog the air-
port and social issues.
Councillor Deonne claims,
Seaton is only one half of
the coin. "First put in the
airport, then Seaton".
Without the airport in
place she expressed con-
cern as to what would at-
tract the major industry
desperately needed to
carry this community. The
negative financial social
impact, on the already
financially stressed social
organizations in Durham
region, had not even been
considered in the report
much to Councillor Pot-
ticarry's horror.
In a report full of
scenarios, the financial im-
pact remains; $40 million
up front and non-
recoverable, for sewers,
water and roads eventually
costing $192.3 million just
to service Seaton.
Councillor Nicholson
welcomed the information
in the study so Durham
region would be able to,
"take a position" and urg-
ed councillors to, "develop
a position on Seaton. It is

Opinion

for you and us
Very Unfortunate
The resignation of Alan Redway as Minister of Housing
for the federal government is a very unfortunate move, we
believe, by the Prime Minister. Mr. Redway. MP for Don
Valley East, is one Member of Parliament who is not afraid
to criticize his own party when he feels that it is not going
the right way. There are not many MPs who will do that as
our system doesn-t allow the flexibility which exists in the
British Parliament or the United States Congress.
We wish Alan Redway much success in the future
especially on his positive stands for what he thinks is right.
Court Action Has Begun
Dear Editor:
Having exhausted every available political means to
have our views heard and considered. the Lethbridge
RCMP Veterans Court Challenge Committee have now
brought a court action against the Government of Canada
and the Commissioner of the RCMP. The action asks the
Federal Court of Canada for a declaration that RCMP
regulations permitting the commissioner to exempt
members from wearing the RCMP uniform on the basis of
their religious beliefs. Violates the Canadian Charter of
Rights and Freedoms.
Did you know that the religious symbols of some 88% of
Canadians have been erased from all publicly funded in-
stitutions' A few examples are that there are no prayers.
Gideon Bibles. Christmas Concerts, etc in schools and no
religious symbols in government buildings to Honour our
war dead.
But the RCMP. who exercise tremendous legal powers.
and is a publicly funded institution. can now wear specified
religious symbols.
Court Action was commenced on Thurs. Feb. 28th in the
Federal Court of Canada. We regret that a court action oras
necessan but our views on these issues must be heard.
We. the "Defenders of RC.%1P Tradition" are contintnng
to solicit funds to support the Lethbridge RCMP Veterans'
Court Challenge Committee. Your donations, small or
large. from individuals or groups, are imperative for con-
tinued court action:
Please make your cheque or money order payable to

the Government for its handling of the Canadian Economy.
and in particular the effects of the recession on Ontario.
..Thousands of jobs are being continually lost as this
country is forced to endure this made in Ottawa recession.
Scarborough has been particularly hard hit. This region has
experienced severe cuts to its transportation and auto parts
Industries as well as in the service sector. The Conser-
vatives have not responded to this crisis and their latest
budget is merely a continued prescription for disaster. not a
means by wfiich to revamp our economy." said Wappel.
According to today's release of StatsCan figures,
unemployment has risen to 10.2% for the month of
February. 0ntano being hardest hit. In addition. Ontario
has least 9.8% of ILs manufacturing jobs between January
19911 and January 1991. These figures reveal that since the
introduction of the Canada -US fret• trade deal, manufactur-
ing jobs have declined by _r, ; .000' The province leads all
others In the record number of businesses declaring
bankruptcy.
"The high dollar• high interest rate policy of this goven-
ment has put us in this dismal situation. Given our weaken-
ing economy and the Conservative record, it has become
crystal clear that fiscal restraint, not people, is the main
concern of this government." said Rappel.
Throughout Ontario and the rest of Canada. Canadians
are feeling the pain of this continued Consen•ative
economic policy. "Canadians need jobs, not rhetoric. Cana-
dians need lower interest rates, not adherence to inap-
propriate fiscal policy and Canadians need a government
which will place emphasis on people, not cut provincial
transfer payments which as everyone has realized will lead
to a dismantling of our distinct social system." said Wap-
pel.

End Discharge of "Grey Water" Into Provin-
cial Lakes and Rivers
Owners of pleasure boats will be prohibited from
discharging "grey water" from sinks and showers into On-
tario's waterways. the Minister of the Environment Ruth
Grier has announced.
The ministry is amending Regulations 305 and 310 of the
Environmental Protection Act (EPA) by changing the
definition of sewage to include "grey water" as well as
'-black water" - water from toilets. The ministry has set
aside two month ending April 30. 1991 for public comment.
The amendments will come into effect May 1, 1993.
..Grey water from 4.500 pleasure boats in Ontario today
contributes to the pollution of the province's lakes and
rivers, especially in the bays, the smaller lakes and the
heavily -travelled areas such as the canal systems. Amen-
ding these two regulations will bring all of us closer to our
goal of having pollution -free w•aterw•ays." said Mrs. Grier.

Procedures behind cultural interpretation. which the

through grant programs and consuitation. By illustrating
real-life situations, the video demonstrates the vital role
cultural interpreters play in interactions between medical,
educational and legal professionals and their ran -English
speaking clients.

Bill Watt's Worlds
IN THE CLUBS:
The other even ng we
travelled west on Queen St.
just a little past Bathurst to
the Squeeze Club. It sounds
like a Polish dance club in
downtown Buffalo but is, in
fact, one of the new tren-
doid attractions pro-
liferating along and greatly
improving what has not
been, for a few decades
now, one of the city's better
areas.
We were there to see and
audit a new musical ag-
gregation with the wildly
improbable name of The
Monkey Tree. Believe us.
Now, if we could deter-
mine what today's young
music world will decide is
to be the next hot and
lasting act, we wouldn't be
in this business; we'd
become a promoter en-
trepreneur. Allow us a long
limb, however, upon which
to extend ourself while sug-
gesting that The Monkey
Tree could well become
mega stars on the contem-
porar) pop scene.
We didn't think so upon
arrival at the Squeeze Club
when the group was
already performing. In-
deed. we thought we were
in for another evening of
standard Rock noise. As
well, the gyrations of the
members were rather
more mindful of monkeys
in a tree than of a tree
itself, even such a resilient
one as a monkey tree. (We
were going to suggest that
they certainly weren't
wooden but that wood have
been too cutesy, wooden
it?)
Yet, after a few moments
we realized that something
unusual and pleasant was
happening; we could make
out the lyrics. Unlike the
case with most Rock
groups, we actually knew
the words that were being
sung. Mind you, they made
no more sense than most
rock lyrics but it remains
that they were clear in a
demonstration of clarity
that did credit to the lead
vocalists and the ensemble
back up much of which had
a bootin' younger Weavers
quality to it.
The instrumentation was
good as well. One can't
classify it and that's as it
should be; it's not carved in
stone that all music should
be assigned a specific
Around and About
Your Dining &Entertainment Guide
niche.
It seemed to us though
that certain hooks and
following passages
delivered a keening Afro-
Caribbean quality.
Without, one hopes, being
too fancy-wancy, there is
more of a wild ocean con-
cept behind The Monkey
Tree than the gritty con-
crete and asphalt of most of
today's group.
One is tempted to suggest
that the sound is innovative
but then one reminds
oneself that we once
thought Shep Fields' Rippl-
ing Rhythms were radical.
Mention should be made,
too, of the fine percussion
work. It has been too long
since we've heard honest to
Krupa paradiddling.
It was most pleasant to
experience good vocalists,
imaginative arrangements
and excellent musician-
ship; all qualities that

we say the same thing
about Blue Rodeo?
POPS:
Although Toronto has
always presented light
classical music via Pops
and Prom concerts, the or-
chestra was that of the
Toronto Symphony.
Nothing the matter with
that, of course, but it
strikes us as strange that it
was not until five years ago
that the Toronto Pops Or-
chestra was formed. Only
five years ago!
Public acceptance has
surprisingly been rather
light though encouraging
and custom continues to
grow.
We bring to your atten-
tion then. the orchestra's
next attraction. This Satur-
day the Toronto Pops will
be performing at Massey
Hall with special guest star
Dizzy Gillespie in a "class
brass event". Among the
scheduled selections will be
Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy
and Leroy Anderson's
Bugler's Holiday. Should
be quite an evening.
Wonder if we could talk
anyone into performing
Hot ups., the old Henry
Busse theme song. Anyone
out there remember it'.
Future attractions will
include Salome Bey with
her Bey Suite Blues (cute),
a Tribute to Arthur Fiedler
and the Canadian Brass.
How about it gang? It
took us long enough to get a
Pops orchestra. Let's sup-
port it to the fullest. Loosen
up and have some fun.
ON STAGE:ONE
Theatre performers do
not appear on the scene full
blown and without prepara-
tion. Years of study, fram-
ing and discipline precede
professionalism.
One of the better drama
schools locally is the
George Brown Theatre
School. Its current
graduating class is now
presenting the first attrac-
tion of its Spring Season.
Until Saturday it is presen-
ting Lovers & Madmen at
the George Brown Theatre,
530 Kings St. E.
Lovers & Madmen is a
compilation of selections
from the works of
Shakespeare and includes
musical offerings. One
often forgets that
Shakespeare was as much
a musician as playwright.
Regrettably none of his
scores remain but his
words i lyrics are such that
they are relatively easily
set to music.
The next attraction will
be a revival of Salad Days
and it will be presented in
April at the Betty Oliphant
Theatre. For tickets and in-
formation call 867-2170.
Incidentally, and for
anyone who has been
wondering what ever hap-
pened to Heinar Piller, he
is the Artistic Director of
the George Brown Theatre
School. It is hard to im-
agine a better choice. Mr.
Pi ller was the dri ving force

Conflict of Interest
Consultation Committee
We want to hear your views to help us improve municipal
conflict of interest laws.
Public meetings of a government -appointed consultation
committee will be held across the province. The committee
will consider all aspects of this subject including such
questions as:
• does the current legislation adequately determine when
a conflict exists?
• should the Municipal Conflict of Interest Act extend to
local government employees?
• should conflict rules extend to gifts and benefits
received because of position or office?
• should local politicians be required to disclose signifi-
cant assets and interests which may create conflicts?
• do the current rules deal adequately with elected
officials undertaking additional paid activities?
Meetings will be held at:
Toronto — Thum. Apr. 4

Vacation In Jamaica
With A Difference
by Jerry Hudson
Tourism to Jamaica has
traditionally been limited
to Montego Bay, NegriI and
Ochos Rios. All three vaca-
tion spots are good value
for the money, and will
always fully reward the
traveller with sun, sand
and night -life.
But for a vacation in
Jamaica with a difference,
and at much less cost, try
the little-known Port An-
tonio, Portland area.
Located on Jamaica's
north-east coast. the twin
harbours of Port Antonio
are best seen from the hill-
top vantage point of the
Bonnie View Plantation
Hotel. From there the most
beautiful vista in Jamaica,
and one of the very best in
all of the Caribbean, can be
enjoyed. Jane Wilson,
manager of the Bonnie
View for East Coast
Resorts, will be happy to
acquaint you with all of the
areas' facilities.
Nestled at the foot of the
hills beneath Blue Moun-
tain peak which rises to
7,402 feet, the Bonnie View
should be your home away
from home for at least a
week. It will probably take
that long to unwind from
your North American
business pressures and to
assume the natural pace of
Jamaica, which is "easy,
Mon".
A pleasant surprise at
the Bonnie View are the
room rates. Winter prices
(through April 30) range
from US tit to $82 for a
double. After April's end,
summer prices of US $62 to
$70 take effect. All prices
are European Plan, which
does not include meals.
Note that breakfast, lunch
and dinner are available.
The restaurant is ex-
cellent, offering a wide
variety of Jamaican, North
American and continental
cuisine. If it's just a snack
or a drink you're after,
master -bartender Maurice
will be happy to fulfill any
of your requests. While
you're there. ask :Maurice
about his participation in
the making of the James
Bond 007 mo%ies and "Club
Paradise".
Stop by to see Juliet at
the hotel's gift shop for
Jamaican mementos for
those you left back home.
The Bonnie View also of-
fers guided horse -back
riding around the planta-
tion and into the hills below
Blue :Mountain. And, of
course, the hotel has a
swimming -pool.
For total relaxation, and
to dismiss all other -worldly
troubles from your mind,
contact Elizabeth Lee,
President of Uncommon
Sense, Inc., at the Bonnie
View. Elizabeth earned a

Her talents range from

completely relax you and
prepare you for the
wonderful Jamaican ex-
periences ahead.
With the Bonnie View as
your base, there are many
diversions available in the
Portland area. The "don't
miss"' attraction is river -
rafting on the Rio Grande.
Arrange for a driver to
take you to Berrydale, the
starting point. You may
want to ask for Captain
Basil, one of the most ex-
perienced rafters, but all
are quite capable for you
days' trip.
From Berrydale it's a
delightful 3 to 4 hour drift
down the river on a two or
four -seat bamboo raft con-
trolled by the steady hands
of a river "Captain".
Definitely not white -water
rafting but a leisurely and
safe ride, the Captains are
all certified in their work,
and qualify through a
several -year appren-
ticeship before being allow-
ed to take passengers.
Enjoy a swim in the
deepest part of the river,
and have some "Finger
Licking Jerk Chicken" for
lunch. "Bar rafts" will pull
alongside as you progress -
they provide cold soft -
drinks, and Jamaica's
famous Red Stripe beer.
As with all things in
Jamaica, your Captain is in
no hurry, and will linger as
long as you wish. At
journey's end there's
Rafters Rest, a fully -
equipped restaurant and
bar where the river meets
the sea. Your driver will
meet you there and take
you back to your hotel
when you wish.
Jamaica is one of the
most civilized countries to
be experienced in the
world; rafting on the Rio
Grande is one of the most
pleasurable trips in the
world. Enjoy.
Other attractions in the
area include trips to Janga
Gully through lush vegeta-
tion, a visit to the ruirs of
Folly on Lighthouse Point
1 built years ago but by
mixing sea -water with ce-
ment, hence the name),
and a ride over Shotover
Mountain, featuring some
of the best scenes for
photographers. All of these
side -trips can be arranged
at the Bonnie View Planta-
tion Hotel.
For beach -freaks, Boston
Beach, a few miles east, is
uncrowded and has full
facilities. The beach is of
glistening white sand, and
is a beautiful example of a
place Jamaicans
themselves go to for relax-
ation. You are guaranteed
not to be pestered by
souvenir -sellers; just lie
back and enjoy. While in
the area try some jerk pork

tivities available such as
swimming, shelling.
boating, sailing, wind surf-
ing, jet skiing, para -

with Rene Soetens, M.P.
Recently, Keith Spicer and his Citizen's Forum have
come under attack by Opposition Members as a result of
costs incurred from listening to Canadians. As a Conser-
vative, I have always expressed very clear concerns about
the cost of government, but when we are dealing with the
very future of Canada, I have great difficulty in being sym-
pathetic to the opposition's concerns.
After the failure of the Meech Lake Accord, Canadians
asked, in fact demanded, the opportunity to be heard on
future Constitutional arrangements. The Spicer Commis-
sion is meeting that demand and is travelling in uncharted
waters. As presently established, their budget translates in-
to about 95 cents for every Canadian. Not a bad price to
have your views heard. Personally, I do not think that is too
much to save this county and I hope that all of you will take
advantage by participating in the Forum.
This week, the Minister of the Environment was in Toron-
to to unveil some encouraging blueprints in conjunction
with the Green Plan. The meeting was interrupted by a pro-
tester, and as is par for the course, the CBC reported almost
exclusively on the role of the protester and not on the very
solid announcement by the Minister dealing with Great
Lakes water quality. It is a shame that the CBC spending
estimates have been announced. Unfortunately, actions
tike this convince me that the CBC no longer plays its tradi-
tional role in keeping the fabric of the country together.
Many of you have questioned the Government of
Canada's role in funding assistance programs in Iraq. I
have little difficulty with supporting financial assistance to
the Red Cross to provide humanitarian aid in that region.
However, you should be aware that the government has not
announced and I would be very critical of any such an-
nouncement, that Canada would be supplying taxpayers'
assistance to rebuild Iraq %Me the present totalitarian
regime is still in power, intent on oppressing its people and
those of its neighbours. Please be assured that I have made
that point clear in Ottawa and will continue to do so.

poultry than the Canada food guide recommends, or less?
Surprisingly enough, we eat less than the recommended
120 to 180 grams ( four to six ounces). We eat about 90 grams
of meat or meat alternatives a day. That's about three
ounces.
Not Doing Enough
For Fish And Wildlife
The overwhelming majority of Ontarians agree with the
Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters (OFAH) that
the province is not doing enough for fish and wildlife, accor-
ding to a provincial government survey conducted last
summer. The survey, conducted by Insight Canada
Research for the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources
(MNR), found that 64 percent of those asked felt that the
province isn't doing enough to protect Ontario's fish and
wildlife. Forty four percent of the respondents said they
had camped, hunted or fished in the past year.
"This confirms what we've been saying for years," said
Dr. Terry Quinney, OFAH provincial coordinator of fish
and wildlife services. "Ontario doesn't take its expansive
natural environment seriously enough, and Ontarians are
beginning to realize it."
The survey's result reflects the province's lack of com-
mitment to issues like wetlands conservation, biological ex-
otics (such as zebra mussels and purple loosestrife),
habitat degradation, and fish and wildlife management,
Quinney said.
