Inquest Into Deaths Of Children "An inquest into the deaths of 15 handicapped children at a local institu- tion has raised ethical issues surrounding the in- stitutionalization of children," says Keith Powell. Executive Director of the Association for Com- munity Living of Ajax: Pickering and Whit- by. The inquest, being held before Dr. Ross Bennett is investigating the deaths of 15 children over a two-year period at the Christopher Robin Home for Children in Ajax. "We are deeply disturb- ed by this terrible tragedy. This is not the fust time in- stances of multiple deaths in institutions have occur- red," stated Inez Curl, President of A. P. W. A. C.1.. "As a community, we must be concerned that when children are placed in institutions, more often than not, family ties are severed, and the care given, is often not what a parent would rule suitable in any other situation," says Curl. "When a person has a child born to them with multiple disabilities, there is a lack of information and most of all, a lack of op- tions given to the parents, bythe supposed experts," Powell stated. "It appears that due to the presence of multiple handicaps and a resulting label, and regardless of the medical issues, parents are told their children will un- doubtably die and would therefore be better served in an institution. We defy the "experts" to con- dusivdy prove that an of those children were "medically fragile", a term we believe to be in- credibly m,sleaoding... Curl debates the govern- ment on the extent of their dedication to handicapped children. "The Ministry of Community and Social Ser- vices released a document titled "Challenges and Op- portunities", that recogniz- ed the need to deinstitu- tionalize, and then the ministry turned around and continued to financial- ly and emotionally support and sanction institutions like Christopher Robin. It is maddening and flies in the face of their own document ! " "We have parents in our organization trying desperately to keep their children at home - either to live peacefully or to die peacefully. This is their right, but our government has made it financially very difficult to choose that option. The supports are not there," Curl said. Powell also stated that the inquest has shed enor- mous light on the ter- minology issues faced when dealing with mental- ly handicapped issues. He pointed out that virtually all of the media reporting on this case have continued to describe the children in- volved as "Mentally Retarded", a term that has not been used for dose to a decade. "We believe that children are best cared for in their homes. Alter- natives to institutions must be provided and financially supported," says Powell. "Experience has shown conclusively that institu- bons are the most expen- sive form of rare for these children. The cost to tax- payers is enormous, but more importantly, the cost to the chili who is mstitu- tionalized is something the rest of us will never know. One can only imagine the effect this mast have. In- stitutions deny these children any quality of life." The inquest continues. Special Events The Head Injury Associa- tion of Durham Region has some special events com- ing up.

Where To Store The Boats? by Brenda Birinyi Nearby residents of :Frenchman's Bay and :members of the Fren- chman's Bay Yacht Club, had 'their day' before Pickering Council last Monday night. The capacity filled crowd waited patiently to register its yea or nay vote regar- ding winter boat storage on the west side of the bay The yacht dub members regard the opportunity to convert the conservation land parking lot, into a parting lot for their boats in the winter, "a need they have a right to have satisfied" according to Mike McAdin a member of the dub. He told council that memberships had fallen from 150 member to 132 members this year, and cited the lack of adequate winter boat storage as partly to blame. This disclosure brought about little sympathy from the crowd on hand that were in apposition to the boat storage. "You (yacht club members) have chosen an expensive bobby. It is your responsibility to store your yachts, not mine," remark- ed Mrs. Coe who wants the Property left alone. She shared with council a letter that her 18 year old sen had written ten years ago to the Metro Toronto Region Conservation Authority (M.T.R.C.A.): ..Dr ar Sir We would like to build a fort in the field between Westshore Blvd. and Fren- dhman's Bay . . We will dean up around our fort. May we build our fort on your property?" Much to the family's sur- prise, M. T. R. C. A. answered the letter but would not grant permission for the boy to build a fort. The Conservation Authority claimed they had an obligation to protect en- vironmentally sensitive areas. These reasons outlined in their reply made sense then, and Mrs. Coe mai tai those same reasons still make sense to- day- Tom o- day.Tom Fitzpatrick, who described himself as a `private citizen' is pas- sionate in his stand, "not to have to join any private club to use public lands." Councillor Kip Van Kempen, Pickering's and Mr. Eric Lewis. The association's "An- nual General Meeting" at the Whitby Baptist Church, 411 Gilbert St. E. in Whitby will be held on Wed.

June 22, from 2 to 6 p.m. representative at M.T.R.C.A_ expressed his concern with council members and the mixed message that they had ,given him. "I went to members of Pickering Council and ask- ed them for direction regarding this issue and what message council wanted me to take to M.T.R.C.A. I was not ,aware of this level of op- position. We tried to ac- commodate everyone through numerous workshops and open houses," he said. "Here we have the oppor- tunity to use a parking lot over the winter mooths. to help increase revenue for the conservation authority," Van Kempen explained. also contended that the visual impact of the boats would be minimum to nearby homeowner. The fence around the area of the boat storage. would come down in the stammer. In addition, the revenue raised from the yacht dub for boat storage, could pro- tect residents in the future, from playing an entrance fee to Fuenqbman's Bay Pant, as they do now at Petticoat Creels Conserva- tion Park. Ward One Regional Councillor Bob Mitchell had a petition from the residents against boat storage and passed it on to Van Kempen to take to M.T.R.C.A. wheretheywill deal with this motion later in the week. Pickering Council's com- mittee meeting, voted in favour of the winter boat storage and will come before Pickering Council this week for final ap- proval. Councillor Van Kempen early this week stated that the conservation authority has voted to go ahead with the winter storage at Fren- chman's Bay. However he has asked them to consider moving the boat storage area to Petticoat Creek, in a secluded area of the park that would have no visual impact to residents. MT.R.C.A. is taking the request tinder advisement. Celebrate Canada Day wC/ CM BE BUTM r .. Page 2 THE NEWS; POST Wed.

SUBSCRIPTIONS - $19 per year - 40t a copy. Mainstream Canada Government, government = taxes, taxes By Terry O'Shaughnessy if countries were judged on their ability to create govern- ment waste and inefficiency, Canada would study find itself ranked number one. If it weren't for the peculiar Canadian con- sent to multiple levels of govern- ment, and the accompanying mountain of taxation which supports it, hordes of bureau- crats would be faced with the dubious prospect of turning in their briefcases and hitting the unemployment line. The ques- tion is: if Canadians were to take a long hard look at the accumulated taxes they pay every year to support their mushrooming governments, would they willingly continue to sustain the most questiona- ble "make-work scheme ever devised? Former Auditor General, Kenneth Dye, doesn't think so. In a recent speech, Dye was harsh in his criticism of the mas- sive duplication of effort and money that has been wasted by bureaucratic bloat: ”. .. there is a lack of awareness of the sig- nificant amounts of tax paid to the governments in our land. Many in Canada would point to Ottawa as the big taxing govern- ment without realizing how much tax is pod to provincial ind municipal governments. And many don't think of the huge amounts of provincial and federal consumption taxes they are pig when buymg gaso- fine. cigarettes or liquor and wine. If the average Canadian clearly understood that they work about half their life for government, keeping only roughly half of what they earn for themselves. 1 think they would pay more attention to what is happening to their family pocketbook." Words of wisdom, Mr. Dye. It's no secret Canadians are perhaps the most governed people in the world The United Stats, for exampie, has one member of Congress for every 575,000 people, while in Canada, there is one MP for every 88,000 citizens—Canada has cornered the market on government. The fact that a fed- aw government, several pcovin- cial and territorial governments, and countless municipal and regional governments are employed to "look after" a mere 26 million or so citizens is absurd—not to mention obscenely expensive. Dye also refuses to mina words: "There are literally tens of thousands of citizens elected to govern us one way or another, with hun- dreds of thousands employed by these government entities to deliver the services we Cana- dians have asked our elected officials to provide. Who pays for all of this? You do!" The former Auditor General goes on to suggest that government spending at all levels has been rising faster than the income produced in this country, and that, even after adjusting for inflation, governments at all levels have more than doubled the amount they spend. Of course, elected officials these days respond to any criti- cism of air -spading with their stock answer, delivered in that selfless tone, stating that if Canadians insist on compre- hensive health are or better education, well. they simply have to pay for it. But ro one is suggesting that health care services shouldn't be paid for, or that better education and job training is not a necessity. It's the government waste and unac- counied-for spender that sticks in the collective throat of the taxpayer. And as governments turn more and more to personal income and consumption taxes as a means of tan' m* revenues— as Dye suggests --Canadians will continue to hand over increasing amounts of hard- earned moony to various levels of government- Where overnment.Where does that leave the average Canadian and his or her picked -over pocketbook? Dye says simply that taxpayers must demand accountability firom the public sector and insist upon explanations of spend- ing hikes or budget variations. Make politicians uncomfortable until they answer your ques- tions, he says, as he reminds us of a point we sometimes forget: it's our money. CFO FSA SWV" Here and There Consent To Treatment An act affwming the right of Ontarians to be fully inform- ed when making health care decisions was announced on May 27th by Ontario Health Minister Frances Lankin. The Consent to Treatment Act oulmes the rights and responsibilities of all health care consumers and providers. It also includes principles to be followed by a person acting an behalf of someone who is not mentally capable of consen- ting to treatment. The first Ontario legislation to comprehensively address health care consent issues, this Act will replace consent provisions in the Mental Health Act and the Public Hospitals Act that apply only to certain health services and settings. The new tiles will apply to all health practitioners in any place where health service is provided, including private homes. "This Act affirms the right of all Ontarians to be fully in- formed when deciding to accept or refuse a health service," Councillor Maurice Brenner About His Expenses An article appearing as a letter to the editor on Apr. 17th, 1991 entitled "About Expense Accounts" apparently con- tained some incorrect information pertaining to Pickering Councillor and Hydro Commissioner Maurice Brenner. This newspaper prides itself on its fairness of repotting the facts and wishes to bring to the attention of its readers Councillor Brenner's viewpoint. I. The statement of a double digit salary increase for hydro commissioners is not correct. Councillor Brenner along with other commissioners with the exception of the chair - titan received a $2200 a year increase amounting: to 7.3%. 2. Councillor Brenner's submitted expenses for a con- ference taking place from June 11-13 left the impression that the remaining days claimed could not be substan- tiated. Councillor Brenna- did in fact attend a Pre -Conference session as well as attending a U.S.Power Authority Plant to research equipment which was being considered for pur- chase by Pickering Hydro. Other members of the commis- Sion ommisSion who attended were present with Councillor Brenner. 3. Any suggestion that the taxpayers of Pickering paid for the spouse of Councillor Brenner to attend with him is not correct. With the exception of the allowable spousal con- ference registration of $89.36 All costs were paid for by the Brenner family. 4. The cost of $100 per day (Canadian dollars) reflected an average U.S. amount of approximately $75 per day which is consistent within a few dollars of the Pickering Commission policy for U.S. conferences as well as being in line with the maximum allowed by other commissions. S. The reference that Councillor Brenner remained in Denver while other Pickering Commissioners left prior was incorrect. Councillor Brenner flew back before other Com- missioners on the Friday morning following the Thursday Post Conference Event. 6. On the matter of the change in Pickering Hydra's Ex- pense Policy. A review of the policy had commenced prior to the conference trip. In fact the previous policy which per- tained to Councillor Brenner's expense claim required detailed documentation and breakdown with receipts for costs inured. The new policy. while reflecting within dollars of Councillor Brenner's daily claim, would not have required him to submit the detailed accia sting be provided reaping in less accountability than he provided 7. On a point of accountability Councillor Brenner publicly declared his expenses at a Pickering Council Meeting in the fall of 1990. He also gave a verbal report to Pickering Coun- cil on Electric Magnetic Fields as a report from his Denver trip in June of 1990. A combined report was made to the Pickering Hydro Commission during the summer of 199o. The editor of this newspaper regrets any embarrassment the letter of Apr. 17th may have caused to Councillor Bren- ner and his family. Report From Parliament from Bob Hicks MP Scarborough East About Our Flag Bob Hicks, Progressive Cotnservative Member of Parlia- ment for Scarborough East, has re -introduced in the House of Commons. his Private Members Bill prohibiting desecra- tion of the Canadian flag. This legislation was chosen as a voteable item by the Elections and Privileges Committee in the last session of Parliament but did not have the opportunity for debate before Parliament prorogued in May. In an interview, Mr. Hicks said be is determined to pro- ceed roceed with this legislation. "Since fust introducing this bill in the summer of 199o, time has been tremendous support in favour of protection for our flag," be said. "I have received letter from all across Canada expressing contempt towards those who willfully desecrate our country's symbol_ Some of the strongest endorsements came from the Royal Canadian Naval Association, and the National Council of Veteran Associations representing 19 varied veterans associations." He said he fully expects this kind of widespread support to continue and is anxious for the opportunity to debate his views in the House of Commons. Ms. Lankin said. "It also gives people the means to express their wishes on health care now to ensure that they will be honoured if they become mentally incapable later." Health Minister Lankin also announced her intention to undertake further study before addressing the issue of pro- cedures that have no direct medical benefit for mentally in- capable people. These include medical research, organ and tissue donation, and contraceptive sterilization. r------------------------------------------ ----------------------------------------- Give Give A Gift That Lasts All Year!

Since the late 19Ws, the OFAH program has work- ed to create thriving wildlife habitat for game and non -game species where agriculture has forc- ed than out. Through land steward- ship practices such as selected shrub planting, fence row and soil erosion control, hundreds of On- tario farmers have created new homes for wildlife, while attracting specific species to control tradi- tional pests. The program has col- lected accolades from agricultural and en- vironmental communities across the province as a model for the working rela- tionship between conserva- tionists and farmers. It is supported by Wildlife Habitat Canada. The Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters is Ontario's largest conserva- tion organization.

Packaging is one area of concern to many consumers. Ontario brewers are also concerned and, as a result, have developed a system to reuse or recycle 100 per- cent of Ontario beer Packaging. Sat. June 22 has been declared "Many Happy Returns Day" at all 468 On- tario beer stores. That's the day we can all start returning cartons, plastic bags and six-pack rings - even bottle caps - to our local beer store when we bring back our bottles and cans. For every Ontario beer container you return to CCbeer store on June 22, brewers will donate half -a -conn to a special en- vironmental fund to sup- port home composting. The first step in the Brewers' environmental program was announced in April when the deposit on beer cans was increased to 10 cents, matching the deposit on bottles. The higher can deposit was in- stituted to increase can return rates - some 72 per- cent of cans are returned while the return rate for bottles is 98 percent. "Ontario's brewers can only recycle what you br- ing back. So starting June 22, bring all of your beer packaging back to The Beer Store," says Jan Westcott, Executive Direc- tor, Brewers of Ontario. "If we all work together, we can help Ontario reach its goal of diverting waste from landfill sites, which will result in many happy returns for everyone.., Wed.

Shwan has donated about 30 moderate to small size paintings in four styles. These include medium size, bold abstract can- vases and lyrical collage - paintings.

Written on it was the universal inter- rogative . . ."?". The publisher responded We don't know if it was the original publisher who so responded but the story, probably apocryphal, has always seemed to us a cogent commentary on the ambivalence surrounding the book's appreciation by its readers. There can be no question that it is a superb piece of writing; that comes through in even the worst of translations and, there have been some petty dreadful ones. Is it, however, a good book to read? That depends, one supposes, on individual preferences. Speaking personally -and, as a reviewer, we try to avoid so doing -we don't enjoy "Les Miserables". the book. We appreciate it but cannot en- joy its unrelenting nar- rative of man's inhumanity to man. And yet and yet. we are quite captivated by "Les Miserables". the musical. We said so upon its Cana- dian premiere at the Royal Alex two years ago: we reaffirm after viewing the opening night of its return engagernent_ As was the case then, we will not burden our readers with a ten word pr6ciis of M. Hugo's monumental work. It is well known in any caw. We will. however. once again try your patience as we wax over the magnitude of the production and our clumsy attempts to describe it. To hell with it; please take our word that LesMiserables is a muss.cal on the grand scale that was common at the turn of the century but now experienced only in mega - hits such as Phantom, Miss Saigon and, of corse, "Les Miserables". If there can be a single criticism of the production it might be that one can be overwhelmed by it to the point where the artistry of the performers can be overlooked and that cer- tainly must not happen. The artistry of all must be given full measure of recognition. Michael Burgess, repris- ing his role of the heroic Jav Valjean, is quite superb. His presence is manly but his voice belongs with the angels. His singing of "Bring Him Home" over the seeming lifeless body of the man loved by his adop- tive daughter is so sweet in its keening as to raise a lump in one's throat. It is his last major song in the show but prior to it he has thrilled with the stirring power and compassion of his voice and his manner. An uncommonly fine per- formance. As Javert, his nemesis, Gordon McLaren is a text book example of the value inherent in the understudy of a role. Mr. McClaren has understudied the roles of both Th4nardier and Javert. We have not seen him as the former but are glad to have seen and heard him as the latter. His voice is powerful and mat- ched only by the power of his portrayal. Javert. as we have remarked before is, to the dispassionate, a sym- pathetic figure: a man torn between what he perceives as duty and that which he feels to be the weakness of common humanity. Graeme Campbell as the villanous Thkiardier has virtually made the role his own. His is a Pure hammy performance much to be admired. Students of the theatre reading this will, of cause. recognize the dif- ference between ham and ham bone.

Still singling out members of a very large cast, allow us to bend the metaphorical knee to Cara Hunter as the aforemen- tioned adult E ponine. Here too is tragedy, the tragedy of unrequited love. Believe us when we say that we felt rather much like shaking Marius for failing to return the love of the low life girl while mooning over the, by comparison, bloodless Cosette. We had better watch ourself; we are becoming personal again. Well, why not? "Les Nserables", the musical, is the kind of experience Chat touches every heart. If it does not, then we can on- ly echo with Hugo ... Is the light we can see in the sky one of those which will presently be extinguished! IN THE LOBBY: What goes 'rand comes 'round, or so they say. In 1948 the Odeon Theatre chain opened its showplace cinema on Carlton St. just east of Maple Leaf Gardens where we used to have a hockey team. It was named the Odeon Toronto but was subsequently renamed The Carlton. At the beginning it was intended as a place where one could dine, see a mo - two picture and then dance after. There was a restaurant on the second floor. Quite nice it was, too. but it never really caught on and became a Honey Dew for a brief period before the Odeon gave up on it. Well, even the Odeon Carlton itself no longer ex- ists .. On its old site is the Cineplex Odeon Carlton Cinemas, a multi screen house. We are now in receipt of a press release armouaucing that it is the fust cinema in Ontario to receive a licence to serve beer and wine, and experience some misgiv- ings over the news. It must surely be evident - certainly, we've said it often enough -that we still enjoy motion pictures but dislike going to theatres to see them. That's because of what movie audiences have become, impolite and even unruly. They're bad enough now; what will they be like with a few drinks before the show? Just asking. AL FRESCO MUSIC: Nice to know that The Forum in Ontario Place is welcoming back the Toron- to Symphony for another season. Consult the daily listings for all the events scheduled but allow us to recommend two evenings in particular. The first is Modern Broadway featuring music from "A Chorus Line", "Evita" and "Jesus Christ Superstar„ conducted by Erich Kunzel. That's on Ju- ly 9th. Then, on July 15th, it will be The Roaring Twenties. Music to be showcased in- cludes Rhapsody in Blue, King Porter Stomp (does McKenzie Porter know about this? Just kidding Ken), Varsity Drag and Hit Parade; 1924. And, don't forget the special programs of music for children to be held all summer long at the new Musical Hit Direct From Broadway Leah Posluns Theatre has announced that "Those Were The Days", the Tony- nomiooated English -Yiddish musical revue, is coming to 'Toronto for a two-week engagement, from June 18 ,until June 30. The show which ;premiered on Broadway in November of 1999 was unanimously acclaimed by all critics. The New York Times called it "A musical Mitzvah'. "The high ,spirited cast is determined to see to it that you enjoy every minute. You'll no doubt be glad you made the jay.„ The original cast will be starring in this "truly energetic and entertaining show" ( Newsday) . Bruce Adler, who just won the 1990/91 Drama Desk Award for best featured ac- tor, is also nominated for this year's Tony award for the best featured per- former in a musical. He co-stars with Mina :Bern, Eleanor Reissa, Robert Abelson and Lori Wilner. This show is directed and choreograph- ed by Ms. Reissa. Moishe Rosenfield and Zalmen Mlotkek conceived the show which follows the Jewish music and theatre experience from the Shteti to Second Avenue to Broad- way. The music and lyrics for the show are by leading Jewish composers and lyricists including Sholom Secunda, Abraham ElIs- tein, Jacob Jacobs, Ben Bonus, Joseph Rumshin- sky, Itzik Manger, Sammy Cahn, Herman Yablokoff, Chane Mlotek, Aaron Lebedeff, Mordecai Gebiritig, Wolf Younin, Molly Picon and Gene Raskin. Call 630.6752 for informa- tion. Scarborough Players Season Final Scarborough Players have announced their fmal play of the 1990.91 Season, Butterflies are Free". This classic comedy is a touching story of a romance between a young blind man (played by Paul Snider, a new addition to the group). and a free spirited young woman, (played by Denise Walker). Denise has been absent from Scarborough Players for a while, but we are glad to have her back. as she is an experienced actress and master comedienne. Jackie DeGreco plays the over -bearing but loving mother. A plum role for one of our most beloved and talented actresses. Larry Westlake also plays a cameo role. Larry is a Tin Lizzies & Rumble Seats At Ontario Museum Follow the road to the Ontario Agricultural Museum and shift into the era of Goggles and Dusters, Packards and Model Ts. On Sun.

Manufactured in Chatham in the teens and twenties, these cars are all Festival Stage, just adja- cent to Children's Village. Among the many per- formers are Kim and Jerry, Circus Shmirkus and the Junior Jug Band. CHUTZPAH MUSIC: For this next item we frankly don't know if we should utter a surprised Hallelujah! or if we should blanche in the presence of hypocrisy. We have receiv- ed a release about a new album; Vernard Johnsoni I'm Alive! Here's what it says in part. "Ihe sanctified funk of Johnson's gospel sax- ophone has made converts of Christian and secular music lovers throughout the world." One understands the in- tended meaning of conver- sion from secularism to the ways of a Godly life but what means conversion of a Christian? Conversion to what? The idea of "gospel sax - phone" tickles us. Does Dr. Canadian -built. There will also be a display of service station memoribilia. Visitors will enjoy on-going car games throughout the day. Take the opportunity to expiore the museum's 32 hectare site, with over 30 buildings and displays. Costumed interpreters will be on hand to demonstrate blacksmithing, wheelwrighting, spinning and weaving. Children will have the chance to see live farm animals.

On July 5th, one can be entertained at the Water's Edge Cafe by the Japanese Canadian Jazz band of Butch Watanabe, Roy Miya and Kika Musumi. Who wants to bet that they won't play Japanese Sandman, or Nagasaki, or Poor Butterfly or .. . What's next? A sitar band playing Moonlight on the Ganges?

Ontario Place is presen- ting Mystic Loon, describ- ed as a spectacular ( that's spectacular, mot secular) veteran of many Scar- borough Players produc- tions and is certain to be recognized by our regular patrons. The play is directed by Terry Leach, another long term member with ample directing and acting ex- perience. All in all. it looks to be an excellent show, that we are proud to present.

Centennial College Alumni To Speak At Convocation Centennial College recruited former students to address its graduating classes this spring for the first time in the college's 24 year history. The activities director of a major yacht club, a sports equipment en- trepreneur, and a cor- porate policy advisor to the Ontario government all related their after-school experiences to a new group of eager graduates. In the past, the college has had prominent business people, high pro- file politicians, health care professionals and jour- nalists as guest speakers. Now, the college hopes to create a new tradition drawing on the same calibre of professionals - as former Centennial students. Cynthia Kane was one of the three alumni selected to speak to this year's classes. A graduate of Centennial's Recreation Leadership program in 1975, she is activities direc- tor for the Royal Canadian Yacht Club. Kane was Centennial's Athlete of the Year in both 1974 and 1975. Bill Boyko is a 1977 ;graduate of the Fluid Power Engineering Technology program. 'Boyko and another Centen- nial graduate launched a robotics firm, CASTAR, which has flourished in the automated manufacturing field. To further challenge his entrep remurial skills, Boyko sold his interest in the firm and has acquired the Eastern Canadian fran- chising network of Nevada Bob's Golf and Racquet stores. Betsy Heately, a graduate of Centennial's Recreation Leadership program in 1972, earned the president's Gold Medal during her final year at the college. Working to establish the profession during its infancy, she has had a multi -faceted career in recreation planning. Heately is now corporate policy advisor at the On- tario Ministry of Tourism and Recreation. All of Centennial's graduation ceremonies took place Sat. June 15, at the college's Progress Campus. ft's the fust time the grads have con- gregated on a single weekend date.

Blaisdale Montessori School Holds Concert by Eleanor Wilson The elementary children of Blaisdale Montessori School held their annual End -of -the -Year colorer t an Dion. June 17th at Holy Trinity Church in Guildwood village. The 15 children, ages 6 to 9, narrated, danced and acted out a drama of the relationship of the native people of Canada to the Iatd, the coming of the white man and his effect on the environment, and a vi- sion for the future. Using quotes from the great Incisan leaders. Black Elk and Chid Seattle, the audience was made aware of the of we have to take care of our home, the earth.

Students hired for SIP '91 spend their days wrestling shopping carts, bicycles and trash out of streams in the Metro region. This summer, besides its scheduled stream cleanups and filling requests to clean up specific sections of streams, SIP '91 will help organizations plan public participation days. Todd Kuiack, the EYC co-ordinator at The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, has already helped organizations plan cleanup days for several locations along Petticoat Creels and the Humber River. While the SIP '91 workers wade through creeks col- lecting tires, glass and other trash, the organiza- tions' members fill plastic bags with trash gathered along the streams' banks. Residents in the Metro area who know of a par- ticular section of stream that needs cleaning or who want to plan a cleanup day can contact the EYC co- ordinator at 661-6600. About 60 to 65 percent of the trash gathered every year is recyclable, and SIP '91 needs hundreds of bags to collect all the trash the students find. This year, First Brands (Canada) Corporation, marketers of Glad products, is supplying two types of plastic bags to SIP '91. Blue Bags are recyclable and will be used to collect recyclable paper, metal and plastics pulled from the streams, and Glad Litter Bags will be stuffed with non -recyclable trash. Waste Management Inc. is once again donating bins to store collected material. WMI picks up full bins and credits the MTRCA with revenue gained from recycling the material that SIP '91 collects. SIP '91 is an En- vironmental Youth Corps program, funded by the Ministry of the Environ- ment and administered by the MTRCA.

Final approval of the funding by Manage- ment Committee and Metropolitan Council is still pending. The Community Action Waste Reduction Grants Program encourages residents to come up with innovative ideas to reduce waste produced in their neighborhoods and then helps them to imnpiemnant the ideas. Even groups who do not have experience with waste reduction pro- jects may apply for foun- ding. Assistance is available for developing a waste reduction proposal. The program's goal is to provide all types of non- profit groups with an W portonity to help their com- munities reduce waste. Community-based grasps eligible for funding include church groups, ethnic associations, service clubs, youth groups, ratepayers' associations, parent -teacher associa- tions and other non-profit organizations. These groups may apply for a maximum of $2,000 to cover the capital and operating casts of their pro- jects- Larger, non-profit organisation with proven experience in waste reduc- tion projects may apply for up to $10,000.

The Amherst Home Health Care Centre in Scar- borough is located at 3462 Kingston Road at Markham Rd. According to Metropolitan Chairman Alan Tonks, "Metro recognizes its responsibili- ty to build and sustain an environmentally, socially, and economically healthy diverse urban community in partnership with its citizens and the local municipalities." The long range Strategic Plan identifies the respon- sibility of the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto to ensure the fair and equal delivery of services to all citizens of Metro in an effi- cient and financially reliable manner. Future challenges that Metro's Strategic Plan has identified include: popula- -tion growth; employment; :housing; upward pressure .an property taxes; educa- tion; municipal expen- diture levels; infrastruc- ture and debt; transporta- tion; policing; en- vironmental issues; and the reform of the funding relationship with the Pro- vince. The recognition of these challenges is an extension of Metro's recent in- itiatives, like the service and job creating five-year Capital Works Plan, and the recommended reform of property taxes on a fair and equitable basis for all property owners in Metro. The Strategic Plan con- tinues Metro's course of open government with full public participation and ac- cess. This too is an exten- sion of Metro's current in- itiatives with the Ethno- Racial Access Participa- tion Plan calling for a cooperative effort amongst community groups, local area municipalities, Metro government staff, and elected officials. As well, the strategy defines growth and plann- ing opportunities for the enhancement and maintenance of Metro's economy, with specific at- tention to a program of sus- tainable development.

However, land ownership was not part of their culture. As a result, there are native land claims for over half of Canada, including parts of Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver, and almost all of Ottawa. It is a big job, but we are getting them resolved. There are two kinds of land claims: specific and com- prehensive. Specific claims arise when governments have not lived up to their side of a treaty. Examples are reserve land that was taken illegally, or if handed over legally, the band not properly compensated. Comprehensive claims occur when no treaties were ever signed. To reach an agreement, a number of benefits and rights of those filing the claim must be made clear. Hopefully, a modern-day treaty will bring social and economic stability to the band. These talks are long and complicated. For example, 15 years after the Innuit Tapirisat of Canada presented their original land claim, an agreement in principle was signed. However, we are trying to settle these claims more quickly. We are speeding up the comprehensive claims process and have a new plan to take care of specific claims. A fast - tracking process was set-up in April for small claims (less than $500,000). In addition, the Department of Indian Af- fairs will no longer have to get approval for settlements of up to $7 million. More people will be hired and money spent to settle these claims. Finally. a neutral body will resolve disputes and an Indian/ Government group will look at the process and issues. Native land claims imrolve huge chunks of Canada and vast amounts of money. They are also intimately connected with the culture, history and identity of Canada's First Na- tions. Because we care about Canada and its people, we are taking steps to resolve these claimts.
