Large Urban recently held its annual conference in Oakville. The Section represents all Ontario municipalities with populations in excess of 50.000. In total. these 35 municipalities have over 7 million residents and 75% of Ontario's population. Premier Bob Rae acknowledged the impor- tance of the Large Urban Section when he gave the opening address to delegates. He stated that as a recipient of their views during his years in Opposi- tion and more recently as Premier of Ontario, he had a full and comprehensive understanding of municipal needs. At the urging of Coun- cillor Dickerson, the Premier paid special atten- tion to the current economic downturn and the resulting high welfare costs to municipalities. He also stated it was his desire to fulfill his promise of "Partnership" with the municipalities by con- sulting with them on a com- plete overhaul of provin- cial; municipal revenue sharing and delivery of ser- vices.

Page 2 THE NEWS IPOST Wed. May 15, 1991 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Buy In Canada The Ontario Teachers' Federation is urging its 126,000 members to consider the serious consequences of cross border shopping on the Ontario economy as well as on the province's education system. Ontario teachers are being asked to support their own economy by shopping at home. The federation's Board of Governors, which met in Toronto early in April, expressed grave concern about the effect of cross border shopping fever on small businesses, especially in Canadian border communities. "The number of small business closures is alarming and the unemploy- ment ripple effect further escalates the cycle of consumer restraint," said Guill Archambault, OTF's president. OTF is reminding its members that Ontario's economy and school system are inextricably linked. "Our schools, as well as our social and health care service, are supported by commercial, industrial and real property taxes. As businesses close, our taxes diminish and so, too, does education funding." said Archambault. Margaret Wilson, secretary-trvasurer of OTF, expressed the need to maintain and support our labour standards. "We pay more for chicken in Canada because we believe our chicken farmers deserve a decent living," she said. "Our market system , which allows Canadians to expect a decent day's pay for a decent day's work, does not exist in the U.S. If we value or own system, we must strive to pro- tect it. We must recognize that cross border shopping is not just the benign escapade it used to be. It has become a hazard to our economy. " OTF is also seeking the co-operation of the Ontario Federation of Labour in asking its members to support our economy by stropping in Ontario. Another Nail? The Police Act (No Queen ► yet another nail in the coffin of Canadian true history and true heritage. In Germany before 1933 Balder von Schirrach formed the Hitler Youth with the avowed intention of creating a generation of Germans who would know only thtler's Ger- many. Since the advent of Pierre Trudeau our youauger generation have been brought up to believe in the false teachings that Canada has two founding nations and two founding languages. Our country Canada consists of four British provinces voluntarily uniting to form one British Dominion, Canada'. The only one of its kind in the world and all British sub- jects. Let's teach our young Canadians their own true history and their own true Canadian Heritage. Then we will be on our way to a strong and prosperous country in tnith and honesty and thus be in a good position to help our less fortunate brothers and sisters throughout the worid.

Metro Government Is Unnecessary Says Report North York's Intergovernmental Affairs Committee has released a report which says thn! "a fourth level of indepen- dent government is entirely unnecessary. The apparently unintended experiment with a new Metro is counter- productive and has led and will continue to lead to un- necessary complication, conflict and expense." The report adds that "there is an unmistakable and grow- ing public perception that we are over -governed, over- taxed and, in the main, poorly -served by governments which appear increasingly unable to deal adequately with the most important of the issues facing them." The report says that the "new„ Metro is entirely different than the `old" Metro when the council was composed of members of the local six councils. The report adds: "The Metro Act has ceased to be a :framework for cooperation and coordination and has vir- 'tually overnight become a framework for institutionalized conflict." The report says that a crisis resulting from rapid post- war growth led to the creation of the `old" Metro. The "old" Metro, it adds, was regarded as a wise and suceessfd :response to the issues of its day. however, the report says, some 40 years have passed since Metro's initial creation and circumstances have changed radically, the most significant, although perhaps unintended change, being the 1988 amerhdmnents creating an independent fourth level of government. The committee's report recornmernds that the province appoint a commission of inquiry to review local govern- ment structure in the Greater Toronto area and rescind the 1988 amendments. This report will be dealt with at North York Council's meeting on Wed. May 15th. Here and There 14 Federal Funds For Ontario Emergency Plann- ing Pauline Browses, MP for Scarborough Centre, presented cheques totalling VM,006 to the Government of Ontario under the tears of the federal government's Joint Emergency PmVarednness Program (JEPP). The funds will help pay for 54 projects to enhance emergency preparedness throughout the province. Canadian Economy Faces Crisis Recent surveys conclude that over the next five to ton years Canadian industries will face a critical shortage of skilled labour due to declining interest in technological studies and one of the highest high school drop out rates in the industrial world. over 30 percent. Not only will this cnp- pie Canadian industry but also Canada's competitive posi- tion within the global marketplace_ Consumer interest increases for real estate in rural Ontario Although buyers market condbom still prevail in rural Ontario, recent reports indicate that consumer interest in all categories of real estate is increasing, according to Royal LePage's 1991 Spring Town and Country Properties Survey. "Sales data appears to confirm property values have decreased by as much as 3D percent in some areas," says Sue Curbedand, Town and Country Properties Manager, noting "most. of the reductions are occurring in the upper price ranges." CIRPA Develops Plans For Future The Canadian Independent Record Production Associa- tion (CIRPA) will hire a financial analyst with the help of a $31,252 grant Ontario Minister of Culture and Commumica- bons, Rosario Marchese, announced recently. The analyst, who will be hired for a period of nine months, will be responsible for developing business and marketing planes which outline future directions and strategies of CIR- PA. Based in Toronto, CIRPA represents the Canadian -owned sound recording industry and has over 140 members in- cluding producers, record labels, and studios. It acts as an advocacy group around issues such as copyright legisla- tion, and also provides educational and research services. The Government of Ontario, through the Ministry of Culture and Communications, provides financial support for the ongoing operation of CIRPA as well as funding for special projects. STATFACTS Criminal courts did not rate highly in a 1988 Statistics Canada survey or performance in four major categories.

Dangerously Wrong by Michael Harris, Leader, Progressive Conservative Par- ty of Ontario Canada is a constitutional monarchy. Whether or not you feel that Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II should play more than a symbolic role as Queen of Canada, there is no disputing the fact that she is legally and constitutionally our head of state. When a politician is elected to a legislature, he or she serves at the sufferance of the Crown. When a police officer lays a charge against a criminal, it is done in the name of the Crown. All of the institutions that govern our country do so on behalf of the Crown. The NDP government in Ontario would like to think otherwise. It was recently revealed that the Bob Rae cabinet decided behind closed doors to eliminate any reference to the Queen in the oath of allegiance taken by Ontario police officers. Ignoring the historical precedent, our heritage, and the legal and constitutional place of the monarchy in our na- tion, the New Democrats are undermining the role of the Queer as a unifying symbol of Canadian identity. I think what they are doing not only shows a shameful disregard for the feelings of loyal Canadians, it is actually quite dangerous in a number of ways. First, there is the question of the impact on our justice system. As I mentioned, police officers lay charges in the name of the Crown. In fact the government prosecutors ( called Crown Attorneys) and the judges also ant in the name of Her Majesty. If police are no longer sworn to serve the Crown, how can they ant in the Crown's name? We might soon be seeing criminals challenging the charges against them on the grounds that the arresting officer is Not an agent of the ththe Rae government suggesting that other public servants may also be forced to take new oaths eliminating the name of the Queen, other agents of the justice system may be affected as well. We must also recognize the devastating impact this deci- sion has had on the morale of the police forces of the pro- vince. These men and women are sworn to uphold the laws of our nation in the Queen's name, and risk their lives every day to do so. It would be hard to find any group of people in the country acre proudly loyal, and the NDP's decision to arbitrarily rob these offices of their traditional oath has left them shocked and deeply disturbed. I fed confident that the pi essionali m of Ontario police officers will keep them on the job and doing their best to uphold the law, as they have always done. However, I am sure they are finding that task more difficult these days, ruAer the cloud of the government's disregard. The NDP decision is also dangerous because of the precedents it sets. If Bob Rae can get away with thumbing his nose at the proper role of the monarchy in the system of justice. what will be his next target? Will the officials responsible for drafting our laws, overseeing our children's education, and collecting our takes also be told they no longer are expected to swear loyalty to our Head of State? The way in which the New Democrats imposed this decision also sets a dangerous ex- ample. The provincial cabinet met behind closed doors and issued this order to Ontario's police forces prior to irdonm- ing the public or their representatives in the Provincial Legislature. There was no debate, and no opportunity for the public to have input until the regulation was already in place. The NDP will try to tell you that they coasWted with police about the range. In fact, all they did was clear the now with one committee. Ask the next police officer you see on patrol if be or she was consulted about erasing the Queen's mane. The answer will be "rho". The NDP will also try to tell you that the changes are necessary to accommodate members of vanots ethnic communities who feel uncomfortable with the traditional oath. But when my office contacted a wide range of multicultural groups. we failed to fed a single one that had requested the change. In fact, we were told that inn - migrants were proud to pledge allegiance to the Queen as they became Canadian citizens. Finally, I believe the alteration of the police oath to be a ley political move. It is a crass attempt on the part of the government to avoid embarrassment to itself and to its choice as head of the Metro Police Services Board in Toron- to. That appointee, Susan Eng, refused to take the oath of loyalty to the Queen when she joined the board in 1989. However, if she becomes head of the board, she would be responsible for administering the oath to new reenrits to the Metro Toronto Police Force. Perhaps she would refuse to do so unless the oath was changed. I have repeatedly questioned the Premier in the Legislature, asking if the opposition of the public and the police, the potential threat to administration of justice, and the reality of the Queen's role as our Head of State did not outweigh the demands of a handful of NDP supporters. He doesn't seem to think so. I think he is dangerously wrong. Give A Gift That Lasts All Year!

As part of a series of province -wide initiatives to save electricity, Ontario Hydro provided the manor with 283 new showerheads at no cost. Maintenance staff at the home installed them but, unlike most com- mercial installations, the Willowdale Manor project was a bit different. The home was provided with handheld units because they're more convenient for seniors to use. "When we approached Metro housing about taking advantage of our energy- efficient showerbead pro- gram, they informed us that seniors have a strong preference for handheld units,' says Phil Kosow, an energy services specialist with Ontario Hydro. "We responded by providing handheld units that are energy-efficient." The handheld units in- stalled at Willowdale Manor are part of a pro- gram that offers energy- efficient showerheads free of charge to commercial buildings across Ontario with electrically heated water. The handheld showers use seven litres per minute. A showerhead that sprays less than 11.4 litres per minute is con- sidered energy-efficient. Less hot water used nears IM electricity is needed The new showerheads are just as easy to use as the old ones.' says Willowdale Manor resident Gladys Lyon. "It has a strong flow of water, but most important, it uses less energy - and that's good for everyone." For the lighting savings, Hydro pays a percentage of the purchase and installa- tion cost for compact fluorescent fixtures and bulbs - five dollars for every compact fluorescent screw-in adaptor and bulb unit and $25 for hand - wired, permanent fixtures. In total, 104 compact fluorescent light fixtures were installed in exit signs throughout Willowdale Manor. Compact fluorescents use approx- imately one-third of the energy of conventional in- candescent light bulbs, but produce the same level of light. Ontario Hydro first began offering energy- efficient. wall -mounted shower units free of charge to commercial dwellings in 1989. Hand-held showers are a new twist to the pro- gram for 1991. Program specialist Barbara Rood says "there are approx- imately 500 or more similar apartments in Ontario that qualify for the handheld units. The potential savings in energy is more than substantial." "Right now, the showerhead incentive pro- gram is offered to any com- mercial customer that has their water heated elec- trically," she explains. "This includes hospitals, chronic care facilities, apartment buildings for seniors, and condominium units. " Since Ontario Hydro began subsidizing the in- stallation of energy- efficient lighting systems in 1989, approximately 200 commercial applica- tions have been received to take advantage of this in- centive program. -Next to being shot at and ahissad»nothing is quite as satisfying as an Income tax refund."

May is, Inn Bill Watt's Worlds ON STAGE: Comedian, Rodney ("I don't get no respect") Dangerfield jokes about go - Ing to the fights one night and seeing a hockey game beak out. Ydur correspondent at- tended at the theatre the other evening to see a musical but encountered a cabaret show. Allow us to explain. "Closer Than Ever" is a musical by the respected team of Richard Maltby Jr. and David Shire. It has achieved much and well deserved success in New York and elsewhere. Jef- frey Latimer and Laurence Follows have secured the Canadian rights to it and are presenting it at the Susan Rubes Theatre. That's in the Young People's Theatre on Front _Street, just west of Sher - bourne. "Closer Than Ever" is easily one of the most tunefully literate shows we have experienced in many a theatrical noon. It is so literate that usual production values are eschewed in favour of almost pure or concert presentation. This is as it should be. Nothing ex- traneous should detract or distract from the words and music and the per- formers' presentation of them. It is in fact, or should be a cabaret show. Presented in a theatre. even one as intimate as the Susan Rubes. it comes across as a workshop pro- duction. That's not bad either. rind you, but it can be just a tad disconcerting when one has been expecting a full scale musical with full production values. values which are meaningless in a show such as this. Briefly stated, "C7oser Than Ever" is a series of songs with a narrative thread about human rela- tionships. The singers are two ladies and two gentlemen. The on stage orchestral and sometimes, vocal accompaniment is provided by two musicians. This is a Wan production but, as we stated earlier, as it should be. Even if copywrite laws did not prevent it, we could not print here for you some of the lyrics from the show. That's because we were so taken by them that we simply couldn't write them down. Mr. Maltby's lyrics might well be described as a grafting of Stephen Son- dheim to W.S. Gilbert. Too high praise? We think not; certainly we stand by it. Shire's music is all that it Should be; which is to say that it is there to comple- ment the lyrics, and little more. You won't remember it upon leaving the theatre but the lyrics might not have been as powerful without it. Now, to this point, we've probably made it appear that "Closer Than Ever" is an intellectual enterprise, i.e. dry. Not so. It's an emo- tional show filled with poignancy, love and humour: much humour. The presentation of these emotions calls for skilled performers and this pro- duction most certainly has them. Barbara Barsky and Susan Henley are the two ladies. Both are splendid physical creations. Both are the possessors of voices that can do anything with any song. They can and do make one laugh and cry. The two gentlemen are Marek Norman and Jonathan Whittaker. Again, we have two fine specimens who sing beautifully and almost caress the lyrics in their care while never forgetting that a performers primary duty is to the audience. They are, as are their ladies, fine entertainers. David Warrack is at the on stage piano and, once again, we can only shake our head in wonderment over his fine keyboard skill. Fad is. we have dif- ficulty on occasion to keep simply from watching him while listening to the others sing. He is also a good singer and musical direc- tor. Bob Hews plays bass Around and About Your Dining &Entertainment Guide guitar and bass viol. So fine and discreet is his work on those instruments that one is scarce aware of it. Yet, it would be missed if it were not there. The direction and choreography of Marcia Milgrom Dodge is all of a piece with the concept of the production brisk, competent but unobstr usive. The only fault to be found with "Closer Than Ever" is admittedly from a personal viewpoint. we believe it might have been ever bet- ter presented in cabaret. We believe as well, however, that "Closer Than Ever" is going to be around for a long time. Still, it's to your decided advantage to see it as soon as possible and legitimate- ly crow that you were among the fust to ex- perience this delightfully stimulating show. RETURNING SOON: Les Miserables returns to the Royal Alexandra on June 7th for an open run. The gala opening will be on June Ilth. Ticket sales have been Predictably brisk but here's something in- teresting for students. Up- per balcony seats are available at all shows for only $16. Now, it's not clear to us just what is meant by "student" but it seems worth a try to see if adult education students qualify. It'll only cost a 'phone call to fine out.

This art is typically Japanese representing the time honoured tradition of JaThere have been flower arrangements decorating the altars of Shinto and Buddhist temples in an- cient times. The flower ar- rangements as they were Cannot be called "Ikebana". In short, we may' set the point of depar- ture of "Ikebana" at the time when there arose a clear intention to decorate the living environment with flowers and to ap- preciate them by adding various ideas. The forms of "Ikebana" vary according to the age and character of the artist. The essence, however, lies constant and this is namely the spirit or idea of "Ikebana". U you corse across an arrangement not agreeable or old fashioned to You, it is not the spirit but the characteristic of that particular arrange- ment or school that does not match your taste. The spirit under which the Sogetsu School was born was to create Ikebana that matches actual fife, something that deserves the name of art. It is to be fresh, vital, and dynamic. Various polies of flowers and trees in their infinite beauty. variable according to the seasons; abundant creative ideas; and the others. Among the performers are Hermann Baumann, Barbary Bonny and Karl Engel. Erato announced its residence series of budget priced CDs.

SUMMER PLEASURES: We were sorry we had to miss the media launch of Ontario Place's summer entertainment pro- gramme. Anything organized by the popular Jane Harbury is always en- joyable as is the whole con- cept of Ontario Place. We grow weary of those detractors who rarely seem to have anything good or positive to say about it. Anyway, we'll be keeping you posted about events and personalities on a con- tinuing basis. For those who might not be aware, admission to On- tario Place is free this year except for special occa- sions that will be announc- ed before hand. You will have to pay, however, for admission to The Forum; $10 for reserved seating and $8 on the grass. Among the many attrac- tions at The Forum will be guitarist Liona Boyd on Fri. June 14th. And here's a scoop for you! Opening for Miss Boyd will be Catherine Wilson's Trio Vi- vant. Four gorgeous ladies playing gorgeous music on a summer's eve! Can life hold more? The O'Keefe has an- beauty of vessels in their environment - these three elements combined to make the Ikebana of the Sogetsu School. Sofu Teshigabara was the founder of the Sogetsu School in the early 19th cen- tury. The spirit through art moved with the times and has been a true reflection of the new Japan. Mr. Teshigahara named the school "Sogetsu". The Chinese characters mean- ing Grass -Moon, an art which encompasses the openness of the universe. There are branches and study groups of Sogetsu ,School all over the world. It started in Toronto under the leadership of Mrs. Kyoko Abe, who received her training and teaching diplomas in Japan. The members of the Sogetsu Ikebana Toronto East Chapter are from many cultural backgrounds but share common interest. They have been studying Sogetsu Ikebana and form- ed the group to further .their knowledge by have workshops, exchanging ex- periences and sharing their creations at an annual flower show. It takes years of study and practice. As one ac- complishes one step, there is yet another to be discovered. With a few flowers and a few branches one must learn to create a masterpiece in art. Truly an enjoyable lifetime hob- by! For information about classes or activities of the Sogetsu Ikebana Toronto East Chapter, call Mrs. Kyoko Abe, 491-7706.

Following will be Bye Bye Birdie with Tommy Tune (if it doesn't sell out, well be surprised). Debby Boone in Meet Me In St. Ian and Cathy Rigby in Peter Pan. It's difficult to see how such a parade pleasures soul One's only regret is that each show is to run for a week only. It's been our ex- perience that Toronto au- diences are sometimes slow to become aware of some shows and by the time they do, they have moved on. Do not let this happen to You. Sight unseen, we can tell you that each one is well worth custom. We'll have to miss the opening of Cats -we'll be at Stratford -but most certain- ly will nip back to see one of the remaining perfor- mances. Wouldn't miss it. IN THE CLUBS: Keep your eyes and ears open for Fiona and Dave, a Young pairing currently on the local club scene. We caught up with them recently at Sneaky Dee's and were much taken by them. Fiona Willsie is a singer.

POINTS TO PONDER: We use a fountain pen for personal So e correspondmany ence. given the amount of them on display in gift stores and the amount of advertising they engender. However, we never see anyone carrying a fountain pen. Perhaps they are used only at home. They certain- ly must be used when one considers the amount of ink sold in stationery and other stores. So, one can purchase fountain pens and one can purchase ink for them. Wymell then, can we no longer buy blotters? We have the strongest wrists in the media developed by the amount of motion exerted by them in drying our cor- respndence in the absence of blotters. Why can't we buy blot- ters? And, if we can, then where? Any and all replies will be greatly ap- preciated.

The boy answered "Per- sonally, I don't think you can do it." $2.5 Millan Facelift To Elias On Pape Ave. Tom and Zabeta Dimacopoulos, owners of the Elias Restaurant and Banquet Facilities on Pape Ave. just north of the Dan- forth, will be re -opening their highly successful, 24 -year old dining establishment following two months of extensive renovations. Together they have designed a stunning transformation to the 50' wide, three-storey frontage of their property, creating a monument to Greek renaissance architecture. Rows of white statues, bonouring Greek deity, ac- cented in guttering gold are a feast for the eyes, surrounding the pediment, classic columns, ornate cornices and other authen- tic classical motifs. The detailing and size of the exterior is breath- taking, and is described by Tom as a tribute to his family's Greek heritage. Tom came to Canada in 1966 from Arkadia in Greece, where be trained as a chef, and worked in the constuction and restaurant business', until he opened Elias, Toronto's first Greek restaurant, in 1967. In 1970, Zabeta left her native Argos to join him in Toron- to, to start a family and also help manage the business. "Ellas has been our pride and joy ever since," Tom continued, "and while we knew that we had to extend our dining and kitchen facilities to rrleet our over- growing clientele, we thought it only appropriate to enhance the architec- tural design, in honour d 'm past.., In addition to the auagtuificent Greek revival decor. captured both in the building's facade and in- terior Cknishings, the pro- perty has been extended to accommodate 200 restaurant finers lin both open seating and private dining rooms), along with another 300 banquet Patrons - Private parties can be booked in two large suites of rooms on the second and third floors, fully equipped with service kitchens, dance floors and private bars.

Patrons are encouraged to .wander through the kitchen to "let their eyes do the ordering" and to see the chefs at work. While Greek in inspira- tion, the lunch and dinner menus offer a wide selec- tion of international cuisine, from charcoal - grilled steaks, to veal, shish kebabs, and the huge ,array of traditional Greek appetizers and favourites such as moussaka, roast lamb and baclava. In the past years, Elias has received "rave" reviews in the Toronto press, and even in the New York Tunes, and is proud to introduce some new items on its menu in celebration of its own "renaissance" in 1991. Elias regulars should try the fresh seafood and the low cholestrerol and vegetarian dishes. The bar is stocked with the best known French, Italian and German wines, along with a full range of Greek specialties.

Helping Tom and Zabeta work "round the clock' are their four children. Argi, Erna, Esia, and Zoe, all of whom say that they spend far more time at the restaurants than they ever do at home. Au four are currently at secondary school or university and are as comnutted as their parents to the family business, which they intend to run for generations to come.

Guelph Conference '91 will be held on May 23 at the University of Guelph.

Delegates to the 1941 Conference wanted to take action to reduce the effects of flooding, erosion and water pollution in Ontario. Recognizing that reforesta- tion, wildlife management, soil utilization and water and erosion control are in- tegrated, the delegates recommended conserva- tion planning on a provin- cial scale and action on a watershed basis. Today's conservation authorities work to carry out the conservation activi- ty that was strongly recom- mended at the original con- ference under the phrase "integrated resource management". The Pro- vince of Ontario is the only province in Canada that has such an extensive system of conservation authorities. The 1941 Guelph Conference and the conservation authorities that resulted from it were two of the most important conservation movements in Canadian history. Delegates to the original conference included citizens. academics, senior public servants and en- vironmental action groups. Two of these groups, the Federation of Ontario Naturalists and the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters, will participate in this year's conference. This conference is spon- sored by the Association of Conservation Authon ties of Ontario. The conference agenda includes: a historical perspective, the state of Ontario's natural resources, the municipal perspective, the academic perspective and a panel discussion on conservation for the next 50 years.

Metro Harvests Compost The Metro Works Department has harvested its first batch of finished wanpost from its Fall Leaf Composting Program. Every fall, Metro residents are asked to gather their old leaves for special municipal collections. The leaves are then taken to Metro's Avondale com- posting site in Maple where they are turned into a rich soil conditioner called hntnus. During the 1988, 1989 and 1980 fall season, approx- imately 6000 tonnes, 12,000 tonnes and 8,400 tonnes of leaves, respectively, were received at the Avondale composting site. The pro- cess of leaf composting is a natural one, allowing the leaves to decompose in long narrow piles called windrows. The piles are turned and watered as re- quired. The 1988 product has been approved by the On- tario Ministry of the En- vironment for unrestricted public use. The results of the 1989 product tests are due shortly. The first user of the 1988 compost is the Conserva- tion Council of Ontario. The Council will be using the compost for its Black Creek Reforestation Pro- ject.

As part ofits new marketing thrust, Montser- rat has prepared a new brochure outlining the at- traction of this Emerald Isle. Part of the Leeward Islands in the Lesser An- tilles, Montserrat is a mountainous island with a landscape which varies from green and pastoral vistas to the lunar -like bar- renness of the sulphur crater, Soufri@re. and to dramatic serrated rock for- mations. Montserrat has always been a haven for those seeking a carefree holiday of simple pleasures. Celebrities and rock stars such as Paul McCartney, Elton John, Stevie Wonder and the Rolling Stones are able to travel freely around the island. mixing with the local people, without hin- drance or a need for secu n- ty. Montserrat is an ideal vacation destination for those who prefer seclusion and serenity over heavily developed, activity - oriented vacation spots. The new brochure "Montserrat, The Way The Caribbean Used To Be". is only one effort in the new aggressive marketing thrust of this tiny -island. "We have hired public rela- tions firms in the U.K. and Canada to start promoting dun island, as well as inten- sifying our efforts in the United States through our new York P.R. firm," said Mr. John Osborne, the Honourable Chief Minister for Montserrat. Accommodations include small hotels, guest houses, condominiums, apart- ments and luxurious mnoun- tainside villas. Montserrat Springs Hotel Is among those who have been improving and up- dating facilities. This 46 room property features a restaurant, beach bar, large swimming pool. The open concept dining room offers a romantic setting and rooms are beautifully appointed. Tennis courts are lit for night play and newly renovated hot spr- ings will open by April 30. The Vue Pointe Hotel features 28 totally refur- bished cottages set on a hillside overlooking the water. Facilities include a restaurant, bar, swimming pool, tennis courts and three meeting rooms.

Miraculous Meringue, Marvellous Dessert There is something elegant and luxurious about baked me- ringue. And while you might ex- pect it to be rich and extravagant, quite the contrary is true. Me- ringue is light as a cloud, and economical! A Pavlova is a luscious dessert created in Australia in honour of the ballerina Aum Pavlova who danced in the early decades of this century. In it, a sok me- ringue is topped with whipped cream and adorned with fresh berries. The singAcd things go into a Pavlova _. egg white, sugar and sak plus a little acid from cream of tartar or lemon juice. The miracle ingredient is the remark- able egg white. To ensure success in making a meringue, both the bowl and beaters must be squeaky clean. The tiniest tract of anything fatty — egg yolk included — prevents the whites from reaching their maximum volume. And, by the way, meringues work best when made on dry (not humid or rainy) days, and with the whites at room temperature.
