July 3, 1991 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Mainstream Canada The cash cow comes home to most BY Terry O Shaughnessy To no one's great surprise, revenues from the federal Goods and Serices Tax are fill- ing the tax coffers in Ottawa to overflowing. Fulfilling the worst fears of manv critics who predicted enormous financial gains from the introduction of a seven -per -cent tax on most goods and services, the federal government recently announced a 5400 -million revenue wind- fall just three months after the widely unpopular tax was implemented. One of the harshest critics has been John Bulloch, presi- dent of the Canadian Federa- tion of Independent Business. As Bulloch puts it, "If the GST can pull in 5400 million during a time of recession, it boggles the mind to think how much more money the government expects to rake in when the economy is back on its feet." Government officials, you'll recall, consistently denied any possibility that the introduction of the GST would result in windfall gains for the federal coffers. Instead. they insisted that money collected from the GST would simply replace the S17 billion previously collected under the old sales tax system. However. now that Revenue Canada has its hands on 5400 million in the first quarter alone, government officials are claiming that the "unexpected" windfall is due primarily to the fact that more businesses than expected are filing their sales tax returns on a monthly, rather than quarterly, basis. But Bulloch disagrees. "Monthly filing could only account for a very small part of the 5400 trillion in surplus tax revenues," he says "The fan of the matter is this government is siphoning much more motley out of the economy than it was ever willing to publicly acknowledge prior to the intro- duction of this tar. "Without question one of the overriding considerations driving the government's deri- sion to introduce this poorly designed tax in the middle of a recession was the prospect of cashing in on the extra revenue. " As a staunch critic of the GST. Bulloch says the govern- ment's decision to set up a special deficit account (such an account would ensure that, in future, any net GST revenues would automatically be slotted for use against the national debt) is the only logical course of action. "Because this tax was intro- duced during a tough economic recession. consumers and small business, particularly retailers, were hit hard. But perhaps the know ledge that their tax dollars will be used toward reducing the country's staggering na- tional debt will offer some compensation for the pain of the GST." While the 5400 -million windfall only scratches the surface of Canada's S30-bdbon- a-yew deficit. Bulloch feels that applying the GST in this area as opposed to throwing more money away on more wort hkss government spending will find some measure of public approv- al. "Canadians have had to spend money they could ill - afford to pay on the GST." he adds. "The last thing they wanted to see is more Sm- ernment squandering. Public opinion polls have repeatedly shown that Canadians are concerned enough about the burden of debt that they would be willing to contribute to any ongoing effort which seriously addresses the problem." At least by creating a special account for deficit reduction— and funding it in part with net GST revenues—the government has taken a long -overdue step in the right direction. - B =ear✓e se,. & Here and There PROFIT IN A ROK' Canada Post Corporation reported a profit of $14 million in its 1990-91 Annual Report tabled June 18th in the House of Commons. Canada Post will pay a dividend of x5.7 million to its shareholder, the Government of Canada. Revenue from postal operations grew four per cent to $3.7 billion, generating income from postal operations of $75 million, compared to $107 million a year earlier. But exten- sive restructuring costs and accelerated attrition program reduced net income to $14 million. This compares with a profit of $149 million in 1989-90. news ��ost Published every Wednesday by Watson Publishing Company Limited, Est. 1950 Address: 150 Milner Ave -Unit 35 Scarborough, Ontario M1 S 3R3 Telephone 291.2583 Publisher & General Manager • Bob Watson Office Manager • Irene Watson ADVERTISING - Irene Watson, Bertha Kronenberg, EDITORIAL - Audrey Purkiss,.

French language Policy Dear Sirs: The Lanark County Citizen's Forum on Bilingualism held hearings on Apr. 22nd and May 27th concerning the abases of the enforced French language policies. The following cases were reported: a) A 24 year-old male with college certification in elec- tronics applied for an Army Forces Air Traffic Controller position (a position using only one language internationally- -English). He was refused due to the requirement of bil- ingualism although, ironically, he was accepted as an Air Traffic Controller with the Department a -11ransport later. b) An applicant for the Ontario Provincial Police Force whose father was an active member for years and who had taken and passed with excellence College Law Enforce- ment Courses was refused application, again because of his inability to speak French. c) a senior executive in the Ministry of the Environment is forced to take course after course of French, not to im- prove his working skills but to comply with the law, and is forced to watch promotions based only on language ability. not job expertise. It is no wonder that our nation is suffering from incompetence. d) A senor staff member of the Armed Forces elected early retirement rather than suffer the frustration of wat- ching ]u mor incompetent Francophones being promoted in- stead of those who were more competent and senior. Thus, there was a lel of hardship and incompetence created in the Forces. Many other examples of the folly of the present language policy were described but were not listed in this letter for the sake of brevity.

The Employment Equity Commissioner has been given the mandate by the Government of Ontario to consult with in- terested members of the public and advise the government on employment equity legislation covering public sector, broader public sector and private sector employers. The legislation will cover four designated groups– Aboriginal peoples, persons with disabilities, women and racial minorities. The semi-finals of the 1991 Miss Toronto Pageant at Fair- view Mall on June 27th saw 20 young women selected for the finals.

( Photo - David Wong) On Education Criticism Dear Editor The constant bashing of the school systems in this Pro- vince is almost laughable. It seems the criticism stems from the charge that the achievement of our students com- pares unfavourably with the achievements of students in other countries and the achievement of those educated in the "good old days". As an educator, I admit, in some instances. our overall results in mathematics, reading and perhaps science, do not always compare favourably. In fact, I am surprised we do as well as we do. Other than the fact it is impossible to in- telligently ccunpare one generation to another and one country to another, the answer to this situation is simple - we do not spend the same amount of time teaching the basic subjects as is spent in a number of other countries or as was Went in the past. Our teaching and teaching methods are superior and our dedicated students are better than ever before, in spite of the fad that far too many non academic expectations have been imposed upon teachers of this Provirtc- We no longer have the luxury y in our curricula. of concentrated time on basic subjects because we are expected to spend valuable time each day addressing society's challenges such as: sex education, drug education, AIDS educations, poverty, sexual and physical abuse, violence, absenteeism and constant political interference. It is intriguing to find students in many Pacific Rim coun- tries spending triple the time spent in Ontario on the learn- ing of mathematics and double the time on reading and science. Compounding the challenges in our schools - public, separate and private - students often exhibit the values and attitudes of our adult population as well as the childish behaviour displayed by our politicians during ques- tion period in the Legislature. Education seemed so simple thirty years ago when we concentrated on the 311's with a little history, geography, science, art, music and physical education. But then the dropout rate was close to 6D% which meant many of the students in school today would not have been allowed in the schools in those days. I find it ironical that the very school system being criticiz- ed and harassed is the school system the public continues to turn to to solve the ills of society. But this should not be a surprise, because it is becoming a Canadian tradition to criticize and be cynical rather than taking a positive upbeat approach to meeting challenges. Yours sincerely, R. A.

The common misconception that sunglasses, exposed firm, most welders gog- gles, photographic filters and smoked glass are ade- quate eye protection should be corrected. We suggest those in- terested in viewing this or any other eclipse par- ticupate in eclipse watches, organized by astronomy clubs, planetariums or museums. These grouts can porvide the viewer with clear images of the event through specially filtered telescopes, in safe setting, under the guidance of trained astronomers. The next best way to view this or any other eclipse is to view it indirectly, using a "pinhold projector" or "sunscope" made of alumimun foil, white paper and a large cardboard car- ton. Although this basic design dates back to the t500's it offers protection while enabling the viewer to see the eclipse.

Although the Jurlly 11 event will not be as large in On- tario as in some other areas, the occurrence of an ,eclipse stirs the interest of most individuals. The Publicity and the accurate prediction of dates of these events encourages many to view eclipses. We in On- tario will be witnessing a major eclipse on May 10, 1994. This event will be visi- ble (weather conditions permitting) to the majority of people living in the pro- vince in its entirety.

Club Says Farewell To Ford Family by Muriel Warden Scarborough Swim Club held its annual awards ban- quet last Thursday evening at the Ramada Inn, Ion Valley. Club president, Lou Guerriero, welcomed all to the Ramada Ballroom and expressed his pleasure in sharing "this special even- ing in such beautiful sur- roundings" The members were out in full force to say "Goodbye" to a favourite swim family - the Fords - Warwick, Georgina, Naomi and Kerri, who are returning to Australia after a 22 year stopover in Canada. The girls have been very successful swimmers for Scarborough since 1986. Warwick has been a tireless club supporter and swim meet official while Georgina has continually worked at bingos, swim meets and as club chaperone when the teams travel. The Fords were presented with a Glen %ates watercolour print of "Blue Jays in Winter" a splendid reminder of their days in Canada, to be en- joyed in their new home in Brisbane. "You all will be greatly missed by the swim friends you leave here in Scar- borough but we wish you good luck and prosperity in your next venture," said close friend Brian Pun - chard as he presented the gift on behalf of the dub members and expressed his personal gratitude for the times he has shared with the Fords in pro- moting competitive swim- ming in Scarborough. A bountiful buffet of hot and cold specialties was devoured with delight, by the host of hungry athletes after which awards were presented to the top male and female swimmers in each development level. Age Group East winners were Kristin Smith 11, and Damieu Ponech 13; in Age Group West it was Gloria Imbers 10, and Andrew Kwa 11. Alison Jotres 12, was best female swimmer in T.A.G.(Top Age Group) with Chris Cailes honoured as most improved male in that group. Overall top swimmer awards for this 1990-91 season went to 15 year old Kerri Ford and 18 year old Jeff Guest, both whom will swim for Scarborough in this summer's National Championships. All swimmers making Ontario Provincial Cham- pionship qualifying times this season were presented with beautiful plaques noting this achievement. Youth National qualifiers - Amanda Skopec 14, Bob Hayes 14, Casey Cheung 15, Brian Guerriero 16 and Curt Punchard 16 - and the National qualifying four- some of Kerri Ford 15, Jeff Guest 18, Nick Bilyk 17 and Liz Warden 13, were all recipients of plaques recor- ding their top achievement level for this season. Happy holidays to those who are breaking away now! Good swimming to those still competing in summer events! Au Revoir, Fords!

July 3, 1"1 Bill Watt's Worlds IN PRINT: One of the pleasures of a columnist is to receive ad- vance material on many items of interest. One of bur favourite features on television is Bill Bramah's Ontario on Global. Bill Bramah is a hand- some man now in his sunset years and he spends his time travelling Ontario with his devoted wife Jenny unearthing interesting facts and stories about small town Ontario. We are fortunate enough to receive advance copies ,of his scripts and enjoy reading them almost a much as watching the features on the tube. Now we have received in soft cover his third collec- tion of such scripts. It's titl- ed More Bill Bramah's On- tario and is published by Cannon Books. Though it can be read cover to cover and in a single sitting. we suggest that maximum en- joyment is achieved by sampling it a bit at a time, perhaps in a hammock on a Lary curnrner afternoon or in front of a crackling fine during autumn or winter. What ever, it's an ex- cellent little book. A good gift too for friends visiting from out of the province or the country. Well done Bill. ON STAGE: Summer is upon us and school is finally out. Soon, the children will became restless. Why not take them to the newly air conditioned ( It's cool, man) Bayview Playhouse for the welcome return of Bill Baird's Marionettes. Currently playing is Alice in Wonderland to be followed on July 16th by Davy Jones Locker. Tuesdays through Fridays there will be two perf ormances at 10:30 a. in. and 1:30 p.m. On Saturdays there are three perfor- mances 10:30 a.m., 1:30 P.m and 4:30 p.m. No per- formances are on Sunday or Monday. Incidentally, Oxford defines marionette as a puppet worked by strings, representing a person etc. Puppet is defined as a figure, usually small. representing a human be- ing especially one with jointed limbs moved by wires etc. Got that clear now? Opening on July 1st, Canada's birthday, will be Theatre Passe Muraille's Laurier. It is the fifth part of the play cycle. The History of the Village of Small Huts. If it is like the four earlier entries, it will be ir- reverent, possibly shocking and most certainly funnier than hell. For those who might be unaware. here is a brief ex- �anation of the descriptive Wage of Small Huts. No one, and think about this now, really knows what the word Canada means. There are many versions of what it is intended to mean however. One of them is that it is an Indian word, probably Beothuk, mean- ing Village of the Small Huts, a description of the ramshackle huts put up during the early British settlement of Terra Primum Visa, the island we now call Newfoundland. Perhaps in a future col- umn we'll describe the shameful treatment of the Beothuk. It was truly an appalling time in our history. Anyway, and back to pre- sent day realities, Laurier will run until July 21st. Theatre Passe Muraille is at 16 Ryerson Avenue. Parking isn't always the best but there is public transit virtually to the door. AL FRESCO: The Canadian Stage Company will again be presenting free perfor- mances of Shakespeare in High Park this summer. The selected work is As You Like It. The script or- dinardy used is one that has come down to us from the Victorians. It was tampered with because the original. or what survived of it to that time, was con- sidered subversive in its explorations of gender - Shakespeare is now generally accepted to have been bisexual -love, freedom and identity. For this production Canadian Stage will be us- ing the bard's 1623 Folio as prepared and annotated by Ned Freeman. It is the first time toss version win have been experienced in about 400 years. It seems to us that for such an auspicious occa- sion, the world community of critics and reviewers should be invited. Surely the government, at whatever level, should untie the purse strings and underwrite the cost of br- inging them in. And, it had better be soon. The fust production is scheduled for July 6th. FAST EXIT: The maple leaf was for- maUy adopted in 1824 ( coincidentally, the year that Toronto came into be- ing) by the earliest St. Jean Baptiste Society in Lower Canada as the official emblem of that French- Canadian organization.

Regrettably, "Never Too Late" might better now be retitled simp- ly Too Late. It was a thin play when first presented circa 1954 but achieved moderate suc- cess because of its then un- common or unspoken theme, that of middle or old age parenthood in Massachusetts yet! The theme is now passe as our lead will attest. As for Massachusetts being prudish, it never really was and nowadays one knows about the Hell's Angels in Lowell. the combat zone in Boston and, of course, the sexual shenanigans of the So "Never Too late" has now become a curio at best. a curiosity piece at least. Now, there's nothing the matter with wanks that have dated. If that were the case one couldn't enjoy Shakespeare's historical tin. Unfortunately, Sumner Arthur Long, a playwright unknown to us is certainly no Shakespeare, or Vidal or even, Axelrod. What he wrote with ..Never Too late" is a situation premise, nothing more. When the premise is no longer novel, if indeed, it ever was, the work mast survive on its tines. There are few of any consequence here. What then, is left? Only good performances to carry it off and hopefully give it the appearance of more substance than in fact there really is. In the main, this production gets them. Jamie Farr stars as the gentleman facing paren- thood fon the second time better than 20 years after the fust. Mr. Farr is a ge- nuinely funny man and one can't help chuckling at his performance. Still it has to be pointed out that it smacks rather more of Minsky than Massachusetts. Dawn Greenhalgh is his wife and she is a gem as she beautifully portrays what appears to be a docile wife and mother but one who certainly can kindle passion. One of the better lines in "Never Too Late" comes when her husband says to her tenderly, "Be careful, take it easy. You're not as young as you look. " Charming, and so too is Miss Greenhalgh. Adam Furfaro does nice- ly as the seeming addled son-in-law and Mariana Pascal contributes a nice comic turn as the daughter reluctantly entering into domesticity and also, try- ing to become pregnant. Watch for her tigress purr.

The complexities and lifestyles of baboons have been the focus of a 17 -year study by Dr. Shirley C. Strum, Associate Professor of Anthropology at the University of California. The troop was named after a pumphouse situated near their favourite sleep- ing site. When farmers in- truded upon the baboons' chosen habitat, Strum's knowledge enabled her to move them successfully to a new home. The exhibition illustrates the life cycle of the baboon from birth through infancy to adulthood, focussing on learning processes, play activities, social relations, and adaptation to the en- vironment. "Baboons of Kenya: The Pumphouse Gang" con- tinues to Jul. 21st and is in- cluded with Museum ad- mission. For more details call 586-5549. Seek Cyclists For Cycling Adventure Christian Children's Fund of Canada has an- nounced plans for a major fund-raising program that will take 200 cycling en- thusiasts on a 2,100 kms. ride from Halifax to Torow to. The "Atlantic To The Lakes" cycling adventure will represent the largest cycling group ever to undertake a multiple -week ride. The pledge -supported trek is expected to raise over $1 million for Chris- tian Children's Fund of Canada and to attract par- ticipants 18 years of age and over and of all fitness levels from coast-to-coast. The entry fee is $200 per person Nus participants must accumulate pledges of $4.000 or more. Christian Children's )Fuad of Canada, which is now accepting enrolment from interested riders, ex- pects the long-distance ride will interest those eager to challenge their physical en- durance while helping to raise hands for a wor- thwhile cause. The tour begins in Halifax on Aug. 11th, and treks through the beautiful countryside of the Atlantic provinces, Quebec and On- tario. Over a three week period, the group will make stops in 18 cities and cycle through 167 cities, towns and communities along the way. An average of III ktns. per day will be covered. Cyclists will be provided with breakfasts and din- ners. accommodations, mobile bike shops, maps, transportation for personal gear and all the staff and services required for the long-distance trek. The Atlantic To The Lakes is not just an ex- citing cycling adventure - it is an education in itself. Participants have the uni- que opportunity to heighten their fitness levels, make new friends, learn more about their vast and unique country as well help a wor- thwhile cause. In addition, riders get to enjoy a tremendous sense of accomplishment and personal pude when they cross the finish line in Toronto, 24 days later. Deadline for rostering for "Atlantic To The Lakes" is July 31st, 1991. Interested participants can contact Christian Children's Fund of Canada at 1-80o•AND-KIDS or (416) 496-1174 for further details and a registration package. So You Want To Write A Song...

The Nylons have long been one of Canada's -perhaps North America's -premier a capella groups. Truth to tell though, we've always felt that a little of their work on record goes a long way. They are at their ex- cellent best performing before an audience. Their latest offering is "4 On The Floor" and it was recorded live in concert at the Markham Theatre. Unquestionably it is the best release of The Nylons to date. There isn't suffi- cient space to comment on all the cuts but we par- ticularly enjoyed a cover version of the Chiffon's One h5ne Day.

N : L The Canadian Red Cross Society Brag That You Are A Canadian T Nutrition Matters Simple Facts About Complex Carbohydrates Now more than ever, healthy eating means that fat is `but". Complex car- bohydrates, which are just starches by another name, are now "in". This means that starchy foods such as bread, potatoes, pasta, rice, and beans, are fast becoming the foods of choice among the health Why all this attention now? After all, it wasn't too long ago that these foods were considered cheap staples, unfashionable, and worse yet - fattening. The reason is that not only do these foods taste good, but foods that are high in com- plex carbohydrates are also good for you! Some Great Complex Car- bobydrate Choices There are some delicious ways to increase the amount of complex car- bohydrates you eat. Try some of these suggestions: - Bread of any kind, but especially whole grains such as whole wheat, cracked wheat, rye, oatmeal, and pumper- nickel; - Breakfast cereals, especially whole grain, oatmeal, or bran cereals; - Pasta with a tomato and vegetable sauce; - Soups made with a varie- ty of dried beans, peas, cam lentils, vegetables, barky, rice, or noodles - Whole grain crackers, crispbreads, bagels, muf- fins, or English muffins are a good alternative to croissants, doughnuts, or danisles for snacks; - Rice or pasta salads; Chick peas and kidney beans added to salads. Why Eat More Complex Carbohydrate,, First and foremost. eating more complex car- bohydrates means you will be filling up on starchy foods that may also be low in fat. Beyond helping to lower the fat in your did, the benefits of eating more complex carbohydrates, especially those that are high in fibre such as whole trains and leg rues, in- clude: - Better weight manage- ment because starch has less than half the calories of fat; - Reduced risk of heart disease by lowering blood cholesterol keels; - Better control of diabetes; - Prevention of common digestive problems such as constipation, diverticulosis and hemorrhoids; - Reduced risk of colon cancer; Increased intake of vitamins and minerals, especially thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, and iron. Starches Are Not Fatten- ing! It's what you add to the starchy foods, the butter on the bread, or creamy cheese sauce on the pasta that adds the extra fat and calories. For example, consider the baked potato. A plain baked potato contains about 148 calories. Add two tablespoons of sour cream and the calories increase to 804. Add another tables- poon of butter and the calories add up to 304. Even so, it is still corn - mon for many people who are set on slimming their waistlines to pass up the baked potato, or dinner roll in favour of a larger piece of steak. But the 375 calories in the steak are more than twice the 148 calories found in the baked potato. Does this mean you should avoid eating meat and stop using butter, salad dressing or sauces? Not at all. But filling up on star- chy foods, having a smaller portion of meat and going easy on the toppings can help you to fed satisfied and full while actually helping you to cut down on fat and calories. When combined with physical ac- tivity, this approach can be a more practical way of achieving a healthy weight. An Added Boers: More Fibre Many foods that are high in starch are also high in fibre. This means that by eating more complex car- bohydrates, you may also be eating more fibre. It is generally recom- tnended that most Cana- dians need to double the amount of fibre in their did. To achieve all of the benefits of high complex carbohydrate diets, it is important that we eat a variety of high fibre foods. Foods that are high in starch and fibre include whole grains such as whole wheat, rye, oats, corn, barley, or rice, and legumes such as dried beans of any variety, peas or lentils. Breakfast cereaK breads, muffins and other baked goods made with whole grains are also an excellent source of fibre. Making the Change The next time you sit down to eat, take a look at what is on your plate. If the starchy food is the bigest item of your meal, followed by vegetables and the meat serving, then you know you are on the right track. Making starches the mainstay of your meals does not mean you have to get used to a whole new way of eating. It mesas en- joying many of the foods that you are already familiar with, such as the recipe below. Garden Fettreine This pasta recipe makes a great light meal that is New Horizon Grants Four seniors' groups in the Toronto area will receive federal govern- ment grants totalling $55,355.

With regard to the con- duct of class actions, the board urges the govern- ment to give favourable consideration to the adop- tion in Bill 211 of an "opt in" approach for the purpose of determining potential class members. With respect to Bill 29. the board recom- mends that the duplication of coverage for class action disbursements be avoided by revamping the legal aid system. Promoting Canadian Pension Investment 7W.Guo Pension Funds. The 1991 Federal Budget contains a proposal to en- courage pension funds to invest more money in Canadian equity markets by taxing a pension fund's investments in debt in- struanents, while providing a credit for a pension fund's Canadian equity in- vestments. In an April 18, 1991 letter to Finance Minister Michael Wilson, the board's Pension Policy Commitee expresses strong opposition to the proposal on the following grounds: it presents an at- tack on the currently tax- exempt basis of the Cana- dian pension funds; it is an unwarranted reaction to a false perception of underinvestment in equities by pension funds; it would add to the regulatory burden of the pension system; it would not result in a substantial increase in investment in small, growing companies; and finally, it takes no ac- count of market forces in determining the ap- propriate asset mix of pen- sion funds. For these and other reasons, the board recom- mends that the proposal be immediately withdrawn. Front Street Extension In an April 18, 1991 letter to Metro's Transportation Committee, the board's Transportation Committee urges Metro to proceed as quickly as possible with the Front Street exten- sion 'interchange. The board is a major supporter of the project because it, will relieve congestion downtown, improve access to the Gardiner Ex- pressway and accom- modate redevelopment in the Central Business District and central water- front. Metro is currently reviewing the present status of the project. Solid Waste Disposal for tie Greater Toronto Area (GTA) On Apr. 2,1991, in a state- ment to the I.egiislature, the Ontario Minster of the Environment, the Hon. Ruth Grier. announced that the search for long-term disposal sites for the Greater Toronto Area's garbage will be contained within the GTA's borders, and that each regional municipality (Peel, Durham, York. Balton and Yorkk. Metro Toronto) will have their own landfill sites. In a letter dated Apr. 18, 1991 to the minister, the board expresses its con- cerns oo-cerns over the decision to eliminate the option for Metro to transport its waste outside the GTA. Two of the board's con- cerns are: 1) that the cost of long-term landfill sites within the GTA will be quite high, thereby driving up the cost ua municipal waste disposal. and 2) this will undoubtedly put pressure on each region within the GTA to restrict dhanping on landfill sites to municipal waste, making it more difficult and costly for industry to find disposal sites for its waste. Air Services In a Mar. 28, 1991 letter to the Federal Minister of Transport, the Hon. Doug Lewis, the board's Air Ser- vices Committee states its support for improved air transportation service from the Toronto Island Airport and requests that the minister designate a commuter air carrier to provide inn -stop service between the Island Airport and Newark, New Jersey. Labour Relations On Mar. 26 a represen- tative from the board's Labour Relations Commit- tee attended a group meeting with Ontario Labour Minstry policy of- ficials to discuss the results of consultations held with employer, labour and com- munity groups on proposed statutory measures respec- ting the labour adjustment system in Ontario (see Ex- ecutive Summary, April 1991). Issues considered were the need for man- datory labour - management adjustment committees, increasing the notice requirements for quality of our undergraduate students. Over the past three years our undergraduate enrol- ment has increased by 3o percent. This autumn we are looking at a further 12 percent increase in first- year students. It appears this new facility is already fully committed," says Kim In nanen, Dean of the Faculty of Pure and Ap- plied Science. The Government of On- tario earlier provided $1.4 million to the science building program for plan- ng - group terminations, enhan- cing the severance pay pro- visions, alternatives to closures and possible legislated advance notice of technological change. Labour Relations On Apr. 4, represen- tatives from the board's Labour Relations Commit- tee met with an Ontario Labour Ministry senior policy advisor to discuss the board's submission on proposals to amend labour legislation with respect to contract tendering ( see Ex- ecutive Summary, April 1991). The proposed amendments, as discussed, are intended to apply to cleaning. food and security services that are supplied to uxkjstnal plants by in- dependent contractors. The board stressed its serious concerns with the proposed amendments to the Employment Standards Act and the Labour Rela- tions Act and urged the government not to imple- ment thern. Insurance tatives of the board's In- surance Committee met with Blair Tully. Deputy Minister. Auto Insurance Review, Ontario Ministry of Financial Institutions, to discuss the board's submis- sions on proposed c43anges to the present automobile insurance plan (see Ex- ecutive Summary, February 1991) . The board recorrunended that consideration be given to enhancing the present Ontario Motorist Protec- tion Plan coverages by pro- viding benefits for economic loss, indexed in- demnity benefits and revisiting the "threshold" definition taking into con- sideration the additional costs involved. Never- theless, if the government is determined to provide for some form of govern- ment ownership of auto in- mwance, the board recom- mended that it be done in patnersbip with the free enterprise system. Federal Budget In a detailed eigbt-page response to the board's federal pre -budget com- mentary (Jan. 17, 1991), Finance Minister Michael Wilson recount the re- cent budget's proposal for deficit reduction via legislated limits on pro- gram spending (an ap- proach that has been ad- vocated by the board). Wilson's letter also replied to specific concerns ex- pressed by the board about the overall com- petitiveness of Canada's tax system, noting the budget's recognition of competitiveness issues as an important part of the ongoing tax reform pro - Seneca Computer Division Is Moving The Computer Studies Division of Seneca College will relocate this coming September to IBM Canada's former customer service training facility at 1380 Don Mills Road.

TBM staff currently at 1380 Don Mils yRoad will be The Finance Minister also replied to a number of specific tax policy con- cerns raised by the board. Ontario Ministry of Educa- tion On Mar. 4, represen- tatives of the board's Education Committee met with officials from the Youth Employment Ser- vices Branch to discuss possible board input to policy and program development concerning youth "at risk" vis -vis the job market. On Apr. 10, represen- tatives of the board's Education Committee met with Bill Mitchell, the Ministry's Head of Cur- riculum Resources, for an update on the consultation process associated with Ac- tion Plan 19W94 and to set priorities for the board's upcoming meeting with the Deputy Minister. Mr. Mit- chell re-emphasized the Hon. Marion Boyd's (Minister of Education) wish to liaise with the board on all education policy initiatives of con- cern to Metro's business community. Ontario Ministry of Skills Development On Mar. 5, Thomas Sosa. Deputy lamer of Skills Development, met with the Education Committee to discuss the composition, power and mandate of an Ontario training and ad- justment board. The depu- ty requested that a follow- up meeting be scheduled to obtain the board's input to a tri -ministry report on the proposed board. On Apr. 15, the board's Education Committee met with policy officials from the Ontario Ministries of Skills Development and In- dustry, Trade and Technology to receive an update on and provide fur- ther input to the tri - ministry report which is expected to go to cabinet on April 3o. In a letter dated Apr. 3, the Ontario Ministry of Skills Development thank- ed the board for par- ticipating in the consulta- tion process around the role of Community In- dustrial Training Commit- tees in building effective partnerships. Canadian Labour Force Development Board Replying to the board's submission, "Labour Force Development Issues for 1991/92" (Jan. 17, 1991), Federal Minister of Finance Michael Wilson thanks the board for sup- porting the creation of the Canadian Labour Force Development Board (CLFDB), and indicates that the federal govern- ment will not impose a training tax on employers. On Apr. 9, the Education Committee met with David Morley, Executive Direc- tor Central Region, Employment and Im- migration Canada, to ob- tain an update on developments pertaining to the CLFDB and federal - provincial negotiations on training structures. moving to 3600 Steeles Ave. East. The building is 52,000 square feet in size, incor- porates a fully equipped cafeteria, offers on-site parking and easy access by public transportation. This new location will be equipped in part with the latest in IBM computer hardware and software. In addition, it will offer students an opportunity to develop skills in a variety of computing environments adopted by the business community. "This venture reflects our interest in creating a valuable partnership with Seneca College," said Mike East, IBM's Marketing Manager of Academic In- formation Systems. 'We look forward to working together towards the suc- cessful implementation of this project." Relocating to this site means a termination of the College's lease with the North York Board of Education for the Fairmeadow campus and the transfer of Ministry of Colleges and Universities funding to the new campus. Metro Council News Toronto Islands Metro Chairman Alan Tonks told council on June 19th, that he is very upset with Richard Johnston's report to the provincial government on the Toronto Islands. Mr. Tonks said that Queen's Park seems only interested in ramming through the proposed changes into legislation and no discussion with Metro, the owners of the lands. According to Chairman Tonks the hooses and land on the Toronto Islands should stay in public ownership and not be given to private home owners and certainly not to see more housing built on the islands.

Ltravelj PEI Home Of Piping International College by Kumari Campbell In the summer of 1990, The College of Piping & Celtic Performing Arts of Canada opened its doors in Summerside, Prince Ed- ward Island. The im- mediate question that spr- ings to mind is, "Why Prince Edward Island?" Believe it or not, Prince Edward Island, Canada's smallest province, boasts the highest percentage of Celtic descendants of all Canadian provinces! The Prince County Caledonia Club in western Prince Edward Island has been actively promoting Celtic traditions on the Island for the past 25 years. Five years ago they began offering bagpipe and drum- ming lessons. The response from the local community was so encouraging that the College of Piping was created. The decision was made early in the planning stages that the College was to be a world-class operation rather than an institution geared solely to local needs. Therefore, the next step was to become af- filiated with the College of Piping in Glasgow, Scotland, the world- renowned training centre for the Celtic performing arts. Engaging internationally acclaimed piper Scott MacAulay as director of the College has certainly lent much credibility to the institution. So has the fact that the curriculum and course syllabus used at the College are similar to those used by the College of Pip- ing in Glasgow. The Col- lege in Summerside is the only such international school of Celtic performing arts outside Scotland. As well, accreditation received from the College takes the farm of certifica- tion from the College of Piping in Glasgow. This means that North Americans can now receive international ac- creditation in the Celtic performing arts at far less cost, and greater conve- nience, on Prince Edward Island. Indeed, MacAulay ad- mits that after less than a full year of operation the College is already receiv- ing serious inquiries from all over North America as well as several Com- monwealth countries. The College of Piping & Celtic Performing Arts of Canada currently offers courses in piping, drumm- ing, Highland dance, fiddl- ing, tin whistle, Irish flute and Celtic guitar. All courses are offered at beginner, intermediate and advanced levels to accom- modate various competen- cies. In addition to courses taught on campus, the Col- lege also offers courses at two satellite locations on the Island. As well, short ANOVA TRAVFL LTD. OntIIc.31lfQ/6 "Complete Travel Service" to aN destkmtlons W*ft Rd.& Midland Av. 265-SRt2 workshops and summer camps in piping, dnunm- ing and dance play an im- portant role in the year- round program of the Col- lege. The ability to attract in- ternationally acclaimed ar- tists as both instructors and students is a testament -of excellence for the Col- lege. Instructor ac- complishments include: Champion Supreme Drum- mer of Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island Dance Champions and World and Canadian Highland Danc- ing Champions. Scott MacAulay is one of North America's best known pipers. He has numerous championships to his credit and has per- formed, taught and ad- judicated across North America, Scotland and New Zealand. As well he continues to compose bagpipe music and release albums. The College of Piping is housed in a new facility that includes a lavish rehearsal! recital hall, a large dance studio, several teaching practice rooms. a library resource centre, boardroom, adminstrative offices, Highland supply store and limited dor- mitory accommodtions for students. An outdoor am- phitheatre will be a new ad- dition for the 1991 summer season, and long-range plans call for other buildings including a separate dormitory. The retail outlet is an im- portant facet of the College as it stocks genuine Celtic instruments from the "Old Country" that are in short supply and great demand in North America. The timing of P.E.I. tourism industry's two- year Celtic theme celebra- tion erne at an opportune time for the College. In 1990 the College was active in the "We're Akin to Ireland" Irish celebration and will be even mote in- volved in this year's ..Road to the Isle" Scottish heritage celebration. An extensive schedule of events includes the 1991 Summerside Highland Gathering & world Invita- tional Highland Dancing Challenge in June which is expected to attract solo pipers, drummers and dancers from around the world, as well as a large number of pipe bands from Eastern Canada and the American Eastern Seaboard. A Highland Games will feature traditional Highland sports such as caber toss, hammer throw, and tug-of-war, as well as kilted golf tournament and an opening parade with at- tendant pipe and drum bands. For the serious con- noisseur of Celtic music, a summer concert series has been planned that is guaranteed to bring hours of delightful music by in - .�, Prince Edward Island Scottish Heritage is the focus of .celebrations in the eastern Canadian province during 1991. The first Scottish settlers to arrive on Prince Edward Island were Highlanders in 1770. Today, approximately 40 percent of the Island's 13000 residents are of Scottish des- cent. The Scottish influence can be detected in many com- munity names like Uigg, Glengarry and Kilmuir. Prince Edward Island, Canada, Tourism and Parks Johy Sylvester Photo.

Wear Your Lifejacket Most of the people who died in boating accidents last year drowned in inland water; many were within a few feet of safety. Most of those who drowned owned lifejackets, but when they died, they were not wear- ing them. The Royal Life Saving Society Canada (RLSSC) urges people who use small boats to make sure, before leaving shore, that everyone on board is wear- ing a well -fitting lifejacket or personal flotation device PFD). The law requires that each boat must have on board a Department of Transport approved per- sonal flotation device in orange, red or yellow for each person. However, the RLSSC warns that if the lifejacket is tucked away inside the boat and not worn, boaters take a chance of become a boating statistic. Most fatal ac- cidents are capsizes or falls overboard. They happen suddenly, without warning and with no time to get into a lifejacket. If boaters fall into the water, lifejackets keep them afloat while they tend to the urgent business of climbing back into or onto their boats or keeping still in the water to forestall hypothermia until help ar- rives. Remember your PFD is the best "life insurance" policy afloat, but it won't work if you don't wear it, Be Water Smart .. make every trip a round trip . . wear your lifejacket or PFD.
