( PRINTING Z, OPr1CF CEN'TtiE I 683.1968 Serving the Community for 25 Years! Delay Subdivision 2 Months by Brenda Birinyi The approval of 26 estate lots, slated for develop- ment, at the Oak Ridges Moraine, flanking Ux- bridge to the north and Whitby to the east, met with criticism by George Martin, President of the Greenwood Ratepayer's Association. Martin balked at council urging them to take a closer look into the implica- tions of such a develop- ment. His enumeration of the reasons why council should not endorse this development focused on the moraine being heritage lands. "There is a strong possibility of heritage ar- chaeological findings in the Oak Ridges Moraine area" and added "the area is ex- tremely sensitive and has a Ialg history which dates back to Canada's early �rinin6... The application before council, is to permit an estate residential develop- ment at the Oak Ridges Moraine, with a maximum of 26 lots. However, at this time, the applicant has in- dicated development of on- ly 15 of the 26 proposed lots. Upon rehabilitation of the gravel pit, the remain- ing lots will then be developed. The northwest portion of the Oak Ridges Moraine has been used in the past for gravel extrac- tion. The remaining gravel in this pit, will go directly to the development of addi- tional estate residential leas. The rehabilitation of this gravel pit is crucial to the approval of this applica- tion. Current Region and Town policies, clearly state; "residential development is not permit- ted on lands where a significant portion of the lands is a gravel pit." However, according to this plan only a small por- tion of this site is situated on the existing gravel pit. In addition to the gravel pit's rehabilitation to allow estate residential develop- ment, the lands vegetation and topographical land- scaping must be unchang- ed. Pickering's planning staff, who inspectand report to council on all pro- posed development ap- plications in Pickering, told council "The lands are suitable for estate residen- tial development as described in Durham Region Official Plan and the Town Council adopted Estate Residential Plan. The two months deferral on the development for the Oak Ridges Moraine. allows the town to review any additional information and comments from, Cen- tral Lake Ontario Conser- vation Authority, the Ministry of Natural Resources, and the Ministry of the Environ- ment. Pickering Council and Planning Department are awaiting their comments. Councillor Bob Mitchell reiterated the importance of this issue as many peo- pie had commented on the significance of its outcome. He acknowledged even though the plan had cane, "full length of the planning spectrum" he supported the deferral because the plan does not fit the "new criteria". "We better have a good look at what we are doing,' declared Mitchell and the -two months deferral will be beneficial to council to do just that." However, the deferral did not please George Mar- tin, as he scolded council remarking that this propos- ed development is the ..wrong development in the wrong place, for the wrong reasons' Council has approved the amendment to the Durham Region Official Plan to per- mit an estate residential development, with a max- imum of 26 lots. Council also recognized, a two month deferral allow- ing additional information and comments, would be valuable in assisting plann- ing staff to determine ap- propriate conditions of sub- divisions and appropriate zoning approvals. ..............:::.............. .............. ..............

March 2i, 1991 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Leave Our Language Alone by lith Watson The latest series of demands for changes in our language to accommodate that minority of females called "feminists'*.- who appear to demand to take over our English language as well as the whole society - calls for ac- tion by both men and women. The word "chairman" is under question at Metro Council because Councillor Howard Moscoe wants to avoid "sex- ism" from the title! Of course,the fact that Alan Tonks "chairs" the Metro Council meetings doesn't seem to con- nect with Mr. Moscoe, who must have suddenly come under the influence of the way-out feminists who have persuaded local boards of education to call the chairman a "chair" which %%v always understood was a piece of furniture. The same action was heard when we had positions on local councils called "alderman". Of course, if you say the word without emphasis on the "man" part it doesn't sound "sexist" as the feminist critics suggest. More and more feminists are gaining political control through elections and we suggest that the vast majority of females rise up now and stop this nonsense of so-called "sexism". Of course. we never expect the feminists to come up with a newword to replace the word "woman". After all, this word has the last three letters saying .'man" and shouldn't this word be changed to '•woperson" 1 How ridiculous - but if the feminists are going to change all of our words which they think are sexist, then we must have woman switched to •.w.operson. Surely. when we elect any person as a member of the legislature, parliament or local council we are expecting action in the areas which affect the many important aspects of life in our nation. To have these feminists spen- ding so much time fighting a few words is ridiculous. In our opinion any woman can be equal to any man any time. There is no argument in our mind that women are not inferior But in many occupations in our land women prefer to work and in others the majority of women do not wish to work. So shouldn't the average women have the right to select the job she wishes regardless of the percentage of erect and women working in that occupation" Instead of pay equity laws, change of words in language and other nitpicking ideas, let's all work together for the betterment of our nation. our province and our community - please' Boating Assoc, Opposes Ontario Grey Water Rules The Allied Boating Association of Canada has stated op- position to proposed Ontario Government regulations which would require boaters to retain sink and shower wastes, commonly known as Grey Water. These wastes are a source of nutnents 4 primarily phosphorous) wi ich en- courage algae growth and otherwise degrade water quality. "Boaters need clean %rater as much as any other water user. but unfortunately this regulation won't improve water quality," said Michael Vollmer. Executive Director of the Association. The association would endorse a comprehensive clean water program which identifies and deals with all inputs of nutrients to Ontario's lakes and rivers. Mr. Vollmer cited recent studies by several authorities that suggest boaters contribute less than 2% of all nutrent loadings %tide municipal sewage treatment systems con- tribute oo-tribute significant quantities of these nutrients, in some cases as much as 42% of all inputs. Rural drainage and residential septic systems contribute another 35%. Septic systems in particular, tend to leach nutnents into the environment. Man• lakes with no live -aboard boats are suffering from reduced water quality as a result of increas- ed cottage development and use. This cannot be changed by Grey Water regulations for boats alone, yet it highlights the problems facing our waterways. "Retention of Grey Water and discharge into a sewage or septic system will not result in any net reduction in nutrient inputs to our waterways. Boaters are being asked to transport this problem. not to deal with it in an effective manner." said Mr. Vollmer. The association strongly believes that boaters can and will be part of a comprehensive solution. Boaters cannot improve water quality on their own. news �`ost Published every Wednesday by Watson Publishing Company Limited, Est. 19W Postal Address: Box 111, Agincourt, Ont.

February Home Sales The aggregated number of residential sales slid 8.0 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 t CREA. However, despite the national downturn, eight of the 25 cities surveyed reported increases in the number of homes sold compared to year-earlier figures. Five of them were western cities. Workplace Accidents Cost Nionev Did you know that one work injury happens every 15 seconds in Canada' Or that the cost of workplace accidents cost Ontario businesses $8 million in a year in indirect retraining and lost time costs? The recently passed Bill 208, significantly amends the oc- cupation Health and Safety Act. It now requires virtually every workplace in Ontario with more than 20 employees to have a joint labour management health and safety com- mittee or representative: and officers and directors can now be personally fined up to $25,000 for a conviction under the Occupationaf Health and Safety Act. Bill 206 legislative requirements for the workplace has raised a number of questions within the business communi- ty. The answers to these questions and other health and safety issues are available at the largest health and safety Conference and Exhibition in Canada. "Leaders in Safety" is held at the Royal York Hotel and the Metro Toronto Con- vention Centre on Apr. 8, 9, 10th. Open Letter To Prime Minister Mulroney Mr. Prime Minister, In a letter to -ne dated November 21, 1990, 1 was assured by the former Minister of State for Housing, Alan Redway, that "a supply of adequate and affordable housing is a mat- ter of deep concern to me and to the government". Three months later, the Finance Minister, Michael Wilson, announced in his budget that "the 15 percent reduc- tion in planned funds for new social housing, announced in last year's budget as part of the Expenditure Control Plan, will be continued through 1995-96". One estimate of this spending cut is that social housing will be chopped by $411 million over the next five years. if you think of this in terms of the number of people who will not be adequately housed because of this action, the impact is staggering. It is disappointing that your government pays only lip service to a fundamental internationally recognized (by Canada itself) human right: the right to adequate housing. The Finance Minister's budget measure demonstrates clearly to me, and my colleagues in the Durham Regional Access to Permanent Housing Committee, a definite lack of "deep concern" on the part of your government about ade- quate and affordable housing. The non-profit and co-operative housing provided by social housing programs is vital to the supply of housing that is adequate and affordable to a large segment of the Canadian population. We suggest that a replacement not be named for Mr. Red- wav as Minister of State for Housing since your government does not have a commitment to social housing or housing issues in general. You should use the money which would not be spent on the salaries of the Minister and his en- tourage to put back some of the funds cut from social hous- ing. We suggest as well that if you are looking for places to cut in "social housing" housing paid for by the taxpayers of Canada) you need look no further than 24 Sussex Drive and Stornaway. Sincerely, .loan M. Skelton Chairman Durham Regional Access To Permanent Housing Committee Here and There $500.000 Anti -Recession Funding for Libraries Metro Toronto libraries will receive $soo.000 in funding as part of the government's anti -recession program Culture and Communications Minister Rosario Marchese has an- nounced.

A grant of $100,Mo has been awarded to the Metropolitan Toronto Reference library for renovations to their third floor and for reconfiguration of public service space. The City of Scarborough has been allocated $400.oW to build a new library in the Agincourt District, just north of Highway 401. The new 25,000 square feet building will pro- vide a wide range of resources. services and programs designed to satisfy the needs of residents from diverse cultural communities. Water Surveillance Reports Drinking water was generally good from central Ontario water supply systems monitored in 1989 by the Ontario Ministry of the Environment. according to reports released recently. The reports for the Central Region uxhcate only one of the 11 systems monitored udder the ministry's Drinking Water Surveillance Program (DWSP) had a water sample taken that exceeded Ontario Drinking Water Ojbectives t ODWOs 1. In November. a sample of treated water from the Lind- say Water Treatment Plant contained turbidity at 1.28 For- mazin turbidity unit (FTU). The ODWO for turbidity is 1 FTU. Ongoing monitoring in 1989 at this plant indicated in- termittent turbidity problems. At all other water treatment plants in the Central Region, organic, inorganic and physical parameters did not exceed health-related ODWOs. STATFACTS A 1988 Statistics Canada survey showed urban residents were more likely than those in rural communities to think the rate of crime in their area was higher than elsewhere. They had good reason. Urban dwellers reported 40% more personal criminal victimization and 70% more crime against households than did residents in rural areas. Give A Gift That Lasts All Year!

KINDERGARTEN REGISTRATION, MARCH 2 5 -2 81 1991 SCARBOROUGH PUBLIC SCHOOLS Page 6 THE NEWS/POST Wed. March 27, 1991 Bill Watt's Worlds ON STAGE: There will always be argument over whether a work of merit in its original medium should be adapted for another. Those against, believe that good works should be left as originally created. Those in favour, believe that a work of merit is good what ever its form of presentation. Both camps, however, must surely be united over Anne of Green Gables. It is a delightful book for young girls; it is an enchanting musical for children and adults, male and female. One can enjoy the enchant- ment again with the new production of Anne of Green Gables presently playing at the Elgin Theatre. It is, indeed, new, one supposes, in the sense that it is a new mounting but the "original" Donald Harron, Norman Campbell adapta- tion of the beloved work by Lucy Maud Montgomery has not been tampered with. Anne remains the story of the spunky young orphan who wins the hearts of all around her including the stern spinster Manilla and her shy brother Mat- thew. As well, and most impor- tantly, the score is the same one we have grown to love over the last brace of decades. It's bright. it's breezy but never insignifi- cant. There is poignancy in it as well. Yes, one can sh- ed a few tears � we did) but that's as it should be. Anne of Green Gables is that kind of story. Alan Lund is back at the helm as director and choreographer and trWv shines as the latter. One first became aware of Mr. Lund in Meet the Navv. There was a certain " je ne sail quoi" about his style even then and it remains today. it's not the perfect word but the only one we can think of to use in describing it. is classy. His dancers and his danc- ing always look classy. Yet, there is no contradic- tion of approach in it. Anne is a simple story but the classy dancing does not detract: it only enhances. The cast is akin to being perfect. We understand that one local reviewer has suggested this is not so. We wish he'd forget that his in itials are indeed J.C. but that doesn't confer a godlike quality of his assessment of anything. Young Jessica Wilson is an excellent Anne, brimm- ing with the enthusiasm of a bright young sprite happy with her world and her blossoming intellec- tualism. She has a good singing voice and she sw- ings a pretty and pretty ef- ficient foot in her dancing. Ann Mantini seems just right as Anne's dearest friend Dianna and Liane Marshall is an absolute stunner as the school teacher who broadens Anne's horizons even beyond what they were. She is an excellent singer but in addition she is so gorgeous she could en- trance us by merely reading the Charlottetown telephone book. There are so many others in the cast that time will not permit mention of all. Perhaps some idea of the over all excellence of same will be realized when we mention that one of the understudies is David Gibb. Not a household word you say? Perhaps not but he should be: he's one of the top ten best dancers in Canada. The title notwithstan- ding. however, the two top roles belong to Barbara Hamilton and Gordon Pin- son as Marilla and Mat- thew. Miss Hamilton's Marilla is properly considered the definitive one. She created it as we are sure most readers are aware. Though it has been some years since she last played it, one was aware that her mastery of it remains com- plete. There quite simply cannot be nor is there ever likely to be -Anne of Green Gables will be with tis forever you know -a better Marilla. We kneel to you Miss Hamilton. Gordon Pinsent is a pleasure to watch and listen to as Matthew the shy man who cannot always find the words to express himself. We have always known Mr. Pinsenut to be a fine actor but he really shows his stuff %ifile playing a much older man. The walk is exaggerated just enough for stage ef- fect: the addled look just enough to be seen and pro - Around and A bou a Your Dining &Entertainment Guide perly appreciated; the voice just beginning the descent into old stage. An admirable performance. Can one say more about Anne of Green Gables at the Elgin? Doubtless one could but equally doubtless our final recommendation would be the same. Go, see and enjoy. See it with someone you love and if that someone happens to be a daughter to whom you introduced the enchant- ment of Lucy Maud I&n- tgomery with gifts of her books in childhood, so much the better. ON SCREEN: We have often iterated in this space that we still en- joy motion pictures but dislike the way they are now exhibited. The feeling remains even stronger after a recent experience at the Hollywood Theatre. That's the one Len Bishop used to manage and he would never have tolerated such a happening. The invitation from Warner Brothers advised that seating was expected to be heavy and early ar- rival was requested for a 9:15 p.m. invitational screening of Defending Your life. Fair enough. We were at Yonge and St. Clair about 8 p.m. and to put in some time enjoyed a cocktail in Bofinge s. Very nice. Then, about 8:40 we left for the Hollywood just to the north. The line up, even that early. extended nearly a block to the north of the theatre. Still, it was a reasonably comfortable night and we had a good book to read. So, we settled into to wait .. and wait. The crowd was less than auspicious in demeanour and seemed, in our ever in- creasingly ncreasingly impatient state, to consist mostly of open mouthed, gum chewing queue jumpers. At no time, was any member of the Hollywood staff seen to be in attendance along the queue. Maybe it was too cold for them. We were ready to leave w -hen the line rurally began C ELLAS RESTAURANT AND BANQUET i LUXURY BANQUET FACILITIES Any size up to 1500 people • WEDDINGS • ENGAGEMENTS • COMPANY MEETINGS • SEMINARS • DINNER • LUNCH • BREAKFASTS • RETIREMENT PARTIES • BAPTISMS 35 Danforth Rd.

Like a more or less Good Corporal Schwenk. we wended our way to the ticket taker, on- ly to be told by him that we had to go to the ticket booth for a chit. notwithstanding that we had our Warner Brothers invitation in our hand. No exceptions, even though we had not been told during a long and increas- ingly chilly wait that a rine Warner Brothers invitation was invalid. After remarking to the ticket taker that we had already spent too for- nicating long in the line up, we ripped the invitation in two, threw the pieces into the air and strode off into the night in a high state of dudgeon. We hadn't proceeded too far down Yonge St. when we were hailed by a ply young lady who advised us she was with Warner Brothers, was sorry for the confusion, that it had hap- pened before and was beyond the control of Warner Brothers. We ex- pressed our gratitude and regrets but also made our devoirs and left without ever seeing "Defending Your Life". There was a time when the motion picture studios owned their own theatres and showed their movies in them under pleasurable conditions. The practice was ruled to be monopolistic and has been prohibited for many years. Pity. If the studios still owned their own theatres there shoorasell wouldn't be cockups as exhibited by the management - management? -of the Hollywood Theatre. The brothers Warner must be gnashing their teeth somewhere in a cinematic afterlife. We're still gnashing ours as we write this. ON RECORD: Warner Music announces the release of what is arguably the most am- bitious recording project ever undertaken. It is harp- sichordist Scott Ross' play- ing of Scarlatti's 555 sonatas. The release label is Erato and the retail package will consist of 34 CDs. The cost is $499 which at first glance seems ex- cessive. It is. however, only the approximate cost of 24 CDs and a true bargain. Pianists will attest that Scarlatti's works transcribed to pianoare difficult enough but to play them as interded on harp- sichord calls for artistry and technique of the Wghest order. The works are filled with melodic lines that twist un- predictably and wide angular skips of interval. As well, there is much re- quired crossing of hands, lightning quick repeated notes and persistent disso- nant chords. All this on an instrument without the relatively easy release of the piano. There are those who sug- gest that even Wanda Lan dowska never fully met the challenge of Scarlatti. There are those who main- tain aintain that Scott Ross has wrestled Scarlatti into subservience. You'll never know until you experience this masterful musical produc- tion. IN CONCERT: The renowned mezzo- soprano Marilyn Horne makes one of her increas- ingly rare appearances in concert next Tuesday at Roy Thomson Hall. Her schedule is booked well into 1992 and we are almost singularly fortunate in hav- ing the lady with us even for such a short time. One rather imagines that tickets are already sold out but you owe it to yourself at least to enquire. Artists of the stature of Miss Horne are heard all too rarely. A week later, Julie Wilson opens at Top o' The Senator for a week's engagement. Miss wilson is a singer mindful of the Great Hildegarde. She is a stylist both in song and de- meanour. We first saw her some years ago in the Im- perial Room and were knocked out by her then. We still are. BILLY D.

COMMENT: The glory and wonder- ment of the English language -the finest in the world -is that it can be understood even when misused. Even so, purity of expression is an ideal much to be sought. Accordingly. we offer these observations on misuses of the language that we are seeing and hearing with increasing frequency of late and against which we wish to rail. Parties, social gather- ings, are given. They are not thrown. Bash means a heavy blow. It is not a synonym for a party or social gather- ing- "Kick off" is a term used to signify or describe the beginning of a sporting event in which a spheroid is kicked from from team to another. It does not mean to launch, start or begin. Dumb means mute. It does not mean stupid or sil- ly. One can give a party to announce the beginning -or launching, if one wishes to wax colourful -of an enter- prise. You don't "throw a bash" to "kick off" anything. To state so (no split in- finitives in Watt's World) is stupid .. but not "dumb". FAST EXIT: While on the subject of clarity in speech, it seems to us that properly deposed Peter Kormos should now defficate or remove himself from the sanitary facility.

The design team for the hospital redevelopment project includes consultant architect Moffat Kinoshita Inc. of Toronto and the U.S. based consultant planners Cannon Partnership. The Whitby redevelop- ment plan will see the hospital rebuilt as a 325 bed tertiary care facility offer- ing specialized programs for people with chronic psychiatric disabilities who cannot be treated in their own communities. "This project is the nucleus of a new model of mental health care in On- tario, one that improves the quality of care available to people with mental illness," said Evelyn Gigantes. From an initial 17 sub- missions, six proponents were selected for inter- views and three finalists were invited to prepare detailed proposals. The project is scheduled to begin construction in the summer of 1993 and be ready for occupancy in mid-1996.

Cleaning The Great lakes Two years ago, the Prime Minister embraced the goal of sustainable economic development. To achieve this goal, the new Green Plan contains clear commitments, targets and timetables outlining our strong environmental stewardship. Without question, a key factor of our environ- ment is Canada's water. With this in mind, I was pleased with the announcement of the establishment of the Great Lakes Centre for Pollution Control and details of a new Pollution Prevention Initiative for the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence River basins. The development of the pollution prevention strategy is based on the recognition that existing pollution control techniques are not sufficient to attain our major en- vironmental goals. To improve this system, the strategy will identify the successes of our present approach and Place pizza crust on pizza pan or cookie sheet.

Gaps in controlling the emis- sion of toxic substances will be identified and projects and polices will be formulated to fill the gaps left by regulatory and legislative mechanisms. The Pollution Prevention Initiative will build upon the successes of the ongoing Great Ickes Action Plan. To achieve our goal of eliminating, by the year 2000, the discharge of persistent toxic substances in the Great Lakes, the initiative will be comprised of three major components. First, targets for major reductions in the use, manufac- ture, generations and discharge of such substances will be set. Secondly, demonstration projects will showcase pollu- tion prevention technologies and provide money to help stakeholders introduce proven technologies into their operations. Finally, education and awareness programs will provide households and businesses with the informa- tion they need to integrate pollution prevention into their day-to-day decision-making. The Great Lakes Centre for Pollution Prevention will act as the catalyst for the Pollution Prevention Initiative in the Great Lakes. It will also promote preventive action in all sectors of society in the Great Lakes region and encourage the exchange of information and technology among all sec- tors. CFIB Poll Results Support Government The Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) regularly polls its members on upcoming legisla- tion and government policy areas. In their latest surveys, the CFIB addressed a number of questions that have been of concern to Canadians lately. One such question was whether or not Canada should be participating in free trade negotiations with the United States and Mexico. Nationwide, the CFIB members voted 59% in favour of the negotiations, as compared to 61% of Ontario Riding members in favour. Another proposal which Ontario Riding businesses were strongly in favour of (70%) was that there should be more free votes in the House of Commons without automatically entailing the defeat of the government should a vote be kilt. While it is true that our present Parliamentary system has its problems, it does nevertheless allow a government to implement its policies with consistency and efficienty. Other systems could lead to expensive and unproductive deadlock. Also. it is important to remember that party solidarity does not mean constituents' concerns are incorporated in the policies formulated by the Cabinet. I found it encouraging also to read in the latest CFIB ballot that 94% of its membership was in favour of having GST revenues specifically directed towards reduction of the federal deficit. which is exactly what Michael Wilson's budget provides for. Lottery profits help hospitals. On the night of the car accident, Bruce was not expected to live. For- tunately, a specially equipped and staffed trauma unit was ready and standing by at a nearby hospital. This special facility helped Bruce beat the odds and he has returned to work. Helping hospitals is just one way lottery profits.are used. Lottery profits are also used to provide grants in other areas such as helping people with disabilities. They also help fund sports and recreation, arts and culture, and province -wide charities. This is how- Lottery funds are working for you in your area.

March 27, 1991 Business Community News Transform Sewage Into Usable Soil A University of Toronto researcher has found a cost-cutting, environmen- tally beneficial way to dispose of sewage sludge. "Sewage sludge can be transformed into an ex- cellent soil conditioner for we on agricultural land, forests and parks," says Professor J. Glynn Henry of the civil engineering department. Henry and graduate stu- dent Lawrence Wong had developed a process - call- ed Biometex - which significantly reduces the harmful metals in sewage sludge while retaining its fertilizing value. In addi- tion to plant nutrients. un- treated sewage sludge con- tains metals. toxic organic compounds and pathogens which pose potential human health hazards. In Ontario, more than 50 per cent of sewage sludge does not meet provincial criteria for land utilization because of high metal con- tent. Most Canadian treat- ment plants currently use either incineration or land- filling as sludge disposal methods when ]and - spreading is prohibited due to high metal concentra- tions in sludge, says Henry. Incineration is expensive. consumes considerable fuel. contributes to air pollution and produces ash by-products which in turn require disposal. Landfill sites meeting sanitary re- quirements are difficult to find and often cause groundwater pollution. Biometex is a continuous biological metal extraction procedure. In order to remove heavy metals from the solid fraction of sludge, the metals are made solu- ble through bacterial leaching. A laboratory - scale Biometex system has been successfully operated for four months, treating anaerobically (free of air) digested sludge highly con- taminated with metals. The system removed large quantities of copper, nickel, zinc and cadmium while important nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium remained unchanged. Sludge handling and disposal currently account for more than 40 per cent of the capital and operating costs of most sewage treat- ment plants. Henry believes landspreading, facilitated through the Biometex process, is an economical alternative that would cost only 60 per cent as much as incinera- tion. Research was sponsored by Environment Canada through the Department of Supply and Services and by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada.

Overwhelming customer response to its innovative fibre-optic test equipment and the tangible results of supplying products to world players such as Nor - them Telecom attest to the Canadian company's abili- ty to capture market share. However, while the com- pany is seeking financing to further strengthen its position, Strifler says in- vestors are deterred because of the perceived leve] of risk associated with high technology com- panies and a tax structure which doesn't compensate for those risks. In addition, he says there is a general lack of confidence regar- ding a Canadian Ont. and St. Jerome. PQ, as well as national represen- tation to service Canadian customers. Federal Funds For Strathearn The Hon. Barbara McDougall, Minister of Employment and Im- migration has announced that Strathearn House Group Ltd., of Rexdale, will receive $18,750 in federal assistance under the Advanced Mamdactunr- ing Technology Application Program (AMTAP ) . The company will use the support under AMTAP to study and evaluate the potential impact that new information technologies can have on their opera- tions, how it could improve their productivity and enhance their corn- petitiveness in interna- tional markets. AMTAP is a four-year service-oriented program of industry, Science and Technology Canada. It has an $8.5 million fund to spon- sor about 90 projects in each of its four years of operation. The program provides funding for qualified firms to engage outside consultants who will assess the commercial and technical feasibility of comprehensively upgrading their manufac- turing operations. The program supports projects from both in- dividual and groups of companies. Where one company is involved, con- tributions can be provided of up to 75 percent of the cast of engaging a consul- tant, to a total of $25,000. Where there is a demonstrated advantage to a joint application covering a group of companies, assistance could be up to 75 percent of the consultant's cost, with a limit of $20,000 per firm up to a total limit of $200,000. Joint applica- tions can be made by an association or corporation on behalf of a group of com- panies. company's ability to com- pete on an international scale. In an effort to attract financing and to increase general awareness, Strifler is presenting his business plan to a group of in- vestors, entrepreneurs and other professionals at an MIT/York Enterprise Forum. Organized by alumni of the Massachusetts In- stitute of Technology (MIT) and York Universi- ty's Faculty of Ad- ministrative Studies (FAS), the non-profit forum provides advice and networking opportunities to entrepreneurs. It also helps companies attract possible sources of financ- ing. Following the presenta- tion, Strifler's business plan will be critiqued by a panel of experts, including Faculty of Administrative Studies Professor Theodoros Pe idis-, Gen- ntun Corporation Chair- man and CEO Wally Piec- zonka; Northern Telecom Limited Vice President, Technology, Colin Beau- mont; and Royal Bank Capital Corp. Vice Presi- dent. Investments, Barrie Laver. Strifler says he is looking forward to an astute panel that will analyze strategic issues and give advice. An unbiased assessment of a company's strategy is par- ticularly valuable, accor- ding to past presenter Robert Cook, President of Ontario -based BCB Technologies Inc. "It's im- portant for entrepreneurs to have a legitimate soun- ding board so they can ob- tain constructive criticism," he says. For those in the au- dience, the forum is an Ideal way to profit from the experience of the presenter and the panellists, says management accountant and regular forum partici- pant Juanita Farnsworth.
