Page 2 THE NEWS POST Ned. April -14.1991 opinion a page for expression for you and us Respect For The Traditions Of Canada by Bob Watson Premier Bob Rae, in his rush to make Susan Eng the ob- vious chairman of the Metro Police Services Board, has committed a very big error in judgment. In removing the oathrof allegiance to the Queen - who happens to be the head of state for Canada as we are a democracy with a monarchy - and putting it to Canada instead, the premier has brought out a lot of feeling from citizens of Ontario who are fed up with newcomers to Canada changing our culture and way of life. As a five generations Canadian I feel very upset that our government is going out of its way to alter the basic system to satisfy one person who will not swear allegiance to the Queen. Funny, though, but she already swore allegiance to the Queen when she became a lawyer, otherwise she would not have become a lawyer in this province. It is high time that Canadianism and the background of our culture be brought into the school system and the socie- ty and impressed on newcomers to this land that these are the rules and background to our very successful democracy. Please obey the Canadian way until a majority of our citizens have a vote on the issue. Bob Rae can guarantee to himself now that he will not be premier of Ontario after the next election - no matter what he says or does he is dead politically' Here and There Community Action awards Nominations The Office for Disability Issues is now accepting nomina- tions for the 1991 Community Action Awards.

Have Real Estate Markets Turned The Corner" Although the year started slowly in just about every ma- jor residential real estate market in the country, Royal LePage says a number of key areas, including Toronto and Vancouver• have reported turnarounds in recent weeks. "It's too early to say that real estate markets are on their way to a full recovery," says Gino Romanese, Executive Vice President, Royal LePage Residential Real Estate Ser- vices. "The current robust market activity may be just a short -teem rise, but in some areas, demand is the strongest it has been in the past two years." Despite the increased demand, house prices have re- mained flat. According to the April issue of the Royal LePage Survey of Canadian House prices• released today, few areas report higher prices and several markets remain well below the peak price levels recorded in 1989 and 1990. newsl °'�`ost Published every Wednesday by Watson Publishing Company Limited.

Comparing Labour Legislation The Hon. Jean Corbeil, federal Minister of Labour and Minister of State ( Transport) announced that a document comparing labour legislation in Canada, United States and Mexico has been given to the Standing Committee on Exter- nal Affairs and International Trade, and made public.

United States and Mex- ico. it summarizes important aspects of labour legislation in the three countries• including industrial relations, employment standards, occupational safety and health and workers' compensation. Hydro Proposes 8.9 Percent Increase For 1992 Ontario Hydro is proposing to the Minister of Energy and Ontario Energy Board an averge rate increase of 8.9 per- cent to become effective Jan. 1, 1992, Hydro President and Cbief Executive Officer Robert Franklin announced today. "These are difficult times for both Hydro and its customers, and in proposing this increase, we have tried to steer a middle course between our own growing costs and our customers' ability to absorb them," Franklin said. The proposed 1992 increase is due primarily to costs of: meeting growing customer demand, including new facilities coming into service; measures to protect the en- vironment and meet regulatory requirements: rehabilita- tion of plants and equipment to maintain the reliability of the power system: new and expanded energy management programs: and escalating wages and prices. Franklin said Hydro faces two major challenges over the next several years: "We must continue to deliver our tradi- tional product - reliable electricity - but we must also pro- vide customers with more value for their Hydro dollar. "By more value I mean more concern for the environ- ment in the way electricity is produced, and more effort in helping customers use it more wisely. In this, I believe hydro and its customers share a common goal: to keep their bills as low as possible, despite rate increases." Helping customers use electricity more efficiently in- volves costs of incentive grants and promoting and ad- ministering a wide range of residential, commercial and in- dustrial programs. Environmentally, cost pressures in- clude measures to reduce acid gas emissions at Hydro's coal-fired stations. "Rehabilitating aging generation and transmission facilities means we can get much more out of what we have, and put off the heavy cost of building new facilities," Franklin said. "This also improves overall reliability of the power system." Franklin said that even with the increase proposed. Hydro's financial performance next year will be less than optimum. The 8.9 percent proposal is an average, all - customer increase. Large industrial customers staved directly by Ontario Hydro would see their bills increase an average 8.8 percent. Increases to Ontario's 311 municipal utilities and two distributing companies would range from about 7 percent to 10.2 percent. The average municipal utili- ty increase would be 8.9 percent. Based on consumption of LOW kilowatt-hours, Ontario householders would pay on average about s6 more per month as a result of Hydro's proposed 1992 increase. Elec- tricity bills to residential customers served by municipalities now average T1 a month for LOW kilowatt- hours. Hydro's proposal will be reviewed by the Ontario Energy Eioard 21110 Here and There $3,450 awarded to South Asian Family Support Services The Hon. Anne Swarbrick Minister Responsible for Women's Issues has announced an Ontario Women's Direc- torate (OWD) grant of $3,450 to South Asian Family Support Services to develop a volunteer program to provide ser- vices to South Asian battered women, and to translate and print pamphlets into six South Asian languages. Start Composting During Pitch -in Week Encouraging householders and institutions to compost has been added to the thrust of 1991 Pitch -In Week, a pro- gram of the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters in co-operation with Pitch -In Canada. The campaign, which will involve more than one million Ontarians during the week of May 6-12, is sponsored by NOVA Corporation of Alberta, Ontario Multi -Material Recycling Inc. (OMMR), the Ontario Ministry of Environment and local govern- ments. $20,000 Awarded to the Comit6 Des Femmes Noires Francophones The Hon. Anne Swarbrick, Minister Responsible for Women's Issues has announced an Ontario Women's Direc- torate (OWD) grant of S20,000 to the Comite des femmes noires francophones to assess the needs of older black fran- cophone women in the Toronto, Hamilton, Peel and Niagara regions. The grants program funds local projects designed to promote the social, economic and legal equality of the women of Ontario. These projects generally focus on one of the OWD's goals - employment equity, eliminating women's poverty, preventing violence against women and eliminating sex - role stereotyping - with a particular emphasis on aboriginal, francophone, rural, immigrant, refugee, racial minority women, women with disabilities and low-income women. ----------------------------------------- Give ----------------------------------------Give A Gift That Lasts A11 Year!

Directed by Paula Beard, "Blithe Spirit" features Peter Loucas as Charles Condomine, a novelist with too much of a good thing. .Reasonably happily married to his se- cond wife Ruth (Alexis Brentam) for seven years, Charles is presented with the ghost of his first wife, Elvira (Bonita Havelock) at a seance presided over by the eccentric Madamme Arcati (Janice Hansen) as research for Charles' next novel. Charles is amazed, alarmed and rather allured by Elvira's reappearance - and Ruth is outraged. In the course of their mar- riage, Elvira was rarely faithful to Charles - but in death, her heart is true and she longs for a permanent reunion, in this life or the next. The comic possibilities of the situation are enhanced by eccentric characters and sparkling dialogue. The cast is completed by Robert Hobbs as the skep- tic Dr. Bradman, Helen Lightstone as his en- thusiastic wife, and Kristina Watson as the unusual Edith, the Con- domine's maid. Amicus Productions celebrated 13 years of per- formance this season, presenting Agatha Christie's "Go Back for Murder" and, most recent- ly. the emotional suspense drama, "Pack of Lies" by Hugh Whitemore.

April 24, 1991 Bill Watt's Worlds AT TME OPERA: Some few years ago at the Royal Alexandra we at- tended at an umpteenth revival of My Fair Lady. We were there to see Anna Neagle for whom we had entertained a genteel lust for many years. Though our love of and for the late Miss Neagle re- mains undiminished, it must be admitted that our affection was diverted, for that evening, anyway, by the young lady who per- formed the role of Liza Doolittle. Her name was and remains Rebecca Caine. Of course you recognize the name as that of the first Cosette in Les Miserables and the current Christine in Phantom of the Opera at The Pantages. Miss Caine is now ap- pearing, in a brief sab- batical from The Phantom, with the Canadian Opera Company in Lulu presently playing at The O'Keefe. Pi- ty. Oh, it's not that she is not worth one's custom; it's simply that she has chosen such a vehicle. It's possible to appreciate and even, by a supreme bending of gender, to empathize with the lady's choice of roles. After all, she has been a paragon of virtue in the public's eye for long enough to justify her accep- tance of the role of temp- tress; rather like Lucile Ball choosing the lead in wildcat after the final episodes of I Love Lucy. Lu, however, is not Lulu. You see, Lulu is a dread- ful person without morals or scruples. That, of itself, need not be unpalatable to the public. Pal Joey, for in- stance, is one of the most despicable characters of the legitimate stage; the musical Pal Joey• however• is glorious. Now, why is Pal Joey a joy and Lulu little more than a well intentioned bore? The answer lies in the music. The former is glorified by the score of Richard Rodgers; the lat- ter is saddled with that of Alban Berg's slavish and pale imitation of -�4y Around and About Your Dining &Entertainment Guide Schoenberg's aspirations. A tarty character in a tarty play can be made en- joyable by the music of a master. Nothing, we dare say, can be improved by Berg's music; it can only make anything worse. So, we have a dreadful opera about a dreadful, manipulative slut with a dreadful score. Can there be anything good to be said about Lulu? Of course there is! Whi le one might not enjoy let alone appreciate Berg's in - Public Meeting Municipal 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: Scarborough — wed. May 8 Scarborough Civic Centre. 150 Borough Dr. Newmarket — Thurs.

Recycling Plastics: Turning Garbage into Gold Canadians from coast to coast are finally realizing its time to mind our Rs — to re- duce, reuse and recycle — and do something good for the en- vironment. While reducing the amount of garbage we create in our everyday lives is an obvious starting point, along with reus- ing products we might normally send to the dump, recycling is still one of the best things we can do to save the environment and eliminate waste. By recycl- ing, we can turn things we no longer need into new and useful products, and as a result munic- ipal recycling programs are springing up right across the country. Numerous Canadian cities and towns have already introduced residential curbside collection programs that use Blue Boxes or Blue Bags to collect recyclables. And other communities are introducing depots or m -store recycling pro- grams to do their part. Canada's plastics industry has always recycled its own scrap plastic, turning waste into new products. Now, more and more post -consumer plastics — such as those used for packag- ing — are being collected for recycling throughout Canada. At last plastic bottles and con- tainers, which are made from valuable oil and natural gas re- sources• don't have to end tip in your local landfill mitt. "There are now 350 urban and regional Blue Box and Blue Bag programs in effect across Canada," says Dr. Fred Edgecombe, Executive Director of EPIC, the Environment and Plastics Institute of Canada, the piastics industry's own coviron- mental research organization. ..About half of these residential curb -side collection programs now accept mixed plastics with their other recyclabk% such as ncw%paper% and metal can%, and the number is growing every month. 1 foresee tremcodous growth in ptw-consumcr rc- cycling as more commuteitics begin eolleotusg plastecm.' COLLECTING PLASTIC'S The range of plastics col- Iccted in Canadian recycling programs, from residential curb -side collection to drt"ff depots and retail deposit sy%- tcnm varies from province to province. Many supermarket chains in Nova Scotia and Ncw Brunswick collect used plastic slopping bags right in their store%. Edmoxuton, whose curb- side cullCctKM program accepts the widest range of rccyclahlc materials in Canada accept% plastic containcm as do pro- gram% in cities including Toronto, Vancouver. Montreal and Fredericton. In Peterborough. Ontario. EPICis currently co-%po nsoring a test program with the Ontario Ministry of the Environment on the fea%ibility of the curb -side collection of plastic film, in- cluding shopping and dry- cleaning bags, milk pouches and food wrap. Resource Ptas- tics Inc., of Brantford, Ontario, is recycling the recovered plas- tic film into new plastic pellets which can be sold to manufac- turers for making new products such as plastic shopping bags. The study will measure the vol- ume of plastic film collected to determine whether it's viable to roll out its collection into other programs. RECYCLING MAKES GOOD BUSINESS SENSE An increasing number of Ca- nadian companies are getting into plastics recycling, devoting their resources and creative en- ergies to turning discarded plas- tics — everything from used pop and detergent bottles to cups and cutlery — back into useful products. "The Canadian plastics in- dustry realizes that there's gold in garbage," says Dr. Edgecombe. "Plastics manu- facturers are developing inno- vative uses for recycled plastic. and plastics recycling facilities arc springing up across the country. Plastics are now being recycled into everything from railway ties, to carpeting, boat Jun Horn of Resource Plastics Inc. of Branifiird. Ontario, di%plars p; inrr n recycled plastic• shopping hugs. The hags ►veru collected in Pvtcrhoroitj:;r. hulls, sports equipment, appli- ance handles, insulation and construction and agricultural materials. And now used plastic bottles and container% are being made right back into new ones. ' CLOSING THE LOOP One promising plastics man- ufacturing development is closed-loop recycling, which enables manufacturers to recy- cle plastics right back into iden- tical products. In November 1990. Twinpak Inc., of Montreal. announced an important breakthrough in the recycling of PET bottles. It's a chemical process that will con- vert PET honks back to their original cor"r wndc. meartinc that for the first time eyer, re- cycled PET bottles will he turned right back into new plas- tic PET bottles. Another initiative, an- nounced in August 1990 by Du Pont Canada Inc. and Procter and Gamble Inc., will result in the receding of up to 18 million High Density Polyethylene rigid plastic bottles such as tawdry detergent and house- hold cleaner containers col- lected through Blur Box pro - }trams in Ontario and Ouebec. Tbey'll be recycled ie to new plastic pellets for a new line of environment friendly bottles containing 25% post-constntcr recycled plastic - E\P:INDING PLASTIC'S REC'YC'LING; KEt "Plastids recycling is an im- portant step in reducing waste," concludes Dr. Edgecombe. "Its ultimate success will depend on more and more post -consumer plastics being collected across Canada. Although curb -side Collection is expanding, more municipalities will have to ac- cept a broader range of plastics to make plastics recycling a truly meaningful reality." h you'd like more information ehoeu plastics rrcyctirtg w plas- tics and dee enviromise a, coer- tact EPIC. 1262 Don Mills Roa4 Suite 104.

The resolution brought before council would prohibit parking on the south side of Twyn Rivers Drive, adja- cent to St. Monica's School between the hours of 6:30 a. m. - 8:30 a.m. and 4 p.m. - 6:30 p.m. Parents have been plagued with traffic pro- blems when attempting to drop off and pick up their youngsters. The 'no park- ing' on both sides of the street would provide the means so "parents can take advantage of stop and drop off and pick up on both sides of the street" accor- ding to the P.T.A. president Council unanimously ap- proved the 'no parking' south on Twyn Rivers Drive.

COPENHAGEN -- If you put the state of Denmark into Prince Edward Wand it would bulge out on all sides because it's 7.6 times as large as Canada's diminutive province. But that doesn't make it gigantic or even moderately !arae. Small is as big a word as you could rea- sonably apply and tiny might be more honest. It would, for instance, fit comfortably into any other pro - vine of Canada with lots of room to spare. 20 times into Ontario, for cxampk. But that doesn't mean it's so small a country that it can be seen in a few hours or explored in depth on a side trip of a few days. Denmark is a destination in itself, a land crowded with history and delights that you can't do more than taste in less than a week or two. There's simply so much to see and do. Though a gateway to Scandi- navia and to Eastern Europe, Denmark's geographical posi- tion right next to Germany means it is very much part of Europe proper, as the Danish Tourist Board 1991 brochure emphasizes with its title. European by Origin, Danish by Design. And though the most common wav to reach here from Canada today is by air to the capital, Copenhagen, you can get here by air, car, train or ferry from anywhere in Europe. For example, a Scandinavian Seaways overnight cruise from Harwich or Newcastle in Bri- tain (following one of IW ferry routes that operate into or around Denmark) will carry you on the course of the Vikings in reverse to Esbjerg in South Jut- land, one of sea -grit Denmark's many ports.

Whatever you want, whether it's jazz clubs or symphonies, ballet or burlesque. clowns or conchs, ceremonial parades or quiet walks, ('openhagcn offers it. Along with the gift of laughter. Moreover, it's a fairytale city built on human scale, with nar- row streets and cooked build- ings, canalside walks, outdox)r cafes and such endearing civic attributes as Hans Christian Andcrscn's Little Mermaid statue in the harbor. It's a city to walk or bicycle and to make the latter easier it will keep a pool of 5.(XX) free hikes this year on bar► to visitors. Gambling casinos are a re- cent addition to city life and the Eksperimentanum where you can play the scientist and actu- ally conduct experiments, is brand new, but the best -loved attraction in the city. Tivoli Gar- dens, with a wonderful mixture of amusement rides beauty• fine dining and culture, is nearly a century and a half old. Also new this summer will he public tours of the Karen Blixen house, north of Copenhagen, which will be opened to visitors for the first time in May. Until now the estate and gardens of the author of Out of Africa have been accessible but the home has not. Born in Denmark in 18115, the writer went to Africa as a young woman but returned to her native land in 1931 and lived in the house until her death in 1962. Kronhorg Castle at Helsin- goer, the Elsinore of Shakespeare's Hamlet, isn't far from Copenhagen or from the Blixen house. nor arc the LouLS- tna Museum of Modem Art and Frederiksberg Castle Muscum of National History, both worth a visit.

And this year. after IS months of work by 65 men, there's something new, a Piratc- land with beautiful singing ycnontas, hungry crocodiles and hidden treasures, all con- structcd of the cmc Danish toy blocks.

This near, too, there's a new scenic drive, the Daisy Route, which has that flower as a logo and carries visitors to 300 at- tractions off the beaten path.

CIBC Dance Season The CIBC Dance Season is presenting the Canadian premiere of a full -evening production by Bill T. Jones ' Arnie Zane & Co. at Harbourfront's Premiere Dance Theatre, Apr. 23 to 27 at8p.m. In what promises to be Toronto's most controver- sial production of the year, Bill T. Jones presents his full-length, multi -media work The Inst Supper at Uncle Tom's Cabin The Promised Land. This work, loosely based on Harriet Beecher Stowe's 19th Cen- tury American classic, Un- cle Tom's Cabin, explores the gamut of moral debate, covering religion, war, sex- uality and racism. The work, with original music by Julius Hemphill and sets costumes by Huck Snyder, will be presented in four sections. This work will explore the issue of religion and how it was used in the post - Civil War era to control the slaves from Africa. The producion asks the ques- tion, why should these slaves have bowed down to a God about whom they knew nothing and why do they accept this God today. It goes even further by ask- ing what freedom has meant to blacks and other minorities since the time of Harriet Beecher Stowe's novel. Bill T. Jones Arnie Zane & Co. appears at Harbour - front's 454 -seat Premiere Dance Theatre, located on the third floor of Queen's Quay Terminal.

Ul'ien A Motbier's, Kiss IsrYtEnough. First Aid Training for everyone from new parents to babysitters. Family Health Care - 967-4244 ,Q St. ]c; in Ambulance with Rene Soetens, M.P. Recently, the Hon. Kim Campbell, Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada, announced a series of in- itiatives to make the justice system more flexible in its handling of family violence -related offenses. Family violence is defined as the abuse of children, of the elderly, and of women by their male partners. It can take a number of forms, including intimidation, mental and emotional abuse, sexual abuse, neglect and financial abuse. The Minister has stated that family violence is clearly a criminal matter, as well as a complex social problem. As such, we need an approach to it that deals with both the criminal aspect and the social issues involved. The Canadian government only began combatting family violence in the mid-19T0's. In 1983, guidelines were set out for the charging and prosecution of wife assault. That same year, the Criminal Code was amended to recognize that sexual assault by a sponse was a criminal offence. In 19M and 1987, the Department of Justice launched initiatives to recognize the need to bring justice to sexually abused children and battered women. In 1988, the federal government launched a project to determine an effective long-term strategy to combat family violence at all levels. One of the intiatives currently under way is a review of the Criminal Code. In cases of wife assault, it is often the victim and her children who have to flee the home for safety reasons. The possibility of removing the offender from the family home will therefore be considered through the ex- amination of current bail provisions in the Criminal Code. In addition, the provisions relating to parental child abduc- tion will be examined to ensure that women who take their children when fleeing a family home are not charged. Pro- visions on the correction of a child by force will be reviewed to examine whether amendment is necessary. Project funding is also being directed to make it easier for victims, especially victims of child sexual abuse, to testify. There is also increasing concern about the impact of wife assault on children who witness violence. Because of this. the custody provisions of the Divorce Act will be reviewed to determine if the need for consideration of fami- ly violence should be made explicit. Many other initiatives are also being considered. Perhaps most importantly, public knowledge and understanding of the problem of family violence will be heightened. Information material will be developed to help Canadians understand that violence towards a family member is unacceptable and is a crime. The Department at Justice will continue with the distribution of material on sexual abuse of children. and will develop Information material on spousal assault and abuse of the elderly. The fight against family violence in Canada is almost 20 years old Although we have made important inroads, there is still much that reeds to be done to bring it to a successful conclusion.
