Summer Hours At Libraries The Pickering Public 11brary Board has an- nounced changes in its summer hours at two loca- tions. The Claremont Branch will be closed for the summer: mid-July, August and September. The Bay Ridges Branch will be cloned on Saturdays for July and August. The board has had reduc- ed summer hours in Nor- thern branches for several years, (Saturdays have been cloned for July and August). The further reduction in hours at Clare- mont for the summer was determined to be the best option for dealing with the budgetary ptures ex- perienced by the board in 1991. Activities at the branch over the summer have been low for the pest few years. The Greenwood Branch, which has a larger collection and better facilities, including washrooms and central air conditioning, will maintain its regular summer hours and welcomes all Clare- mont residents. In the south, Bay Ridges has similarly experienced low use and circulation during summer weekends. The Rouge Kill Branch will remain open Saturdays and welcomes all users to its full range of services. In addition to financial con- siderations, this change will also enable the board to deal better with staffing pressisres during the sum- mer months. Reduced stammer horns are routinely implemented by public libraries in the Greater Toronto area as a response to lower use and fight budgets - Ontario Scholars At Pickering High School The following students have been recommended by Mr. D.

July 17, 1991 Opinion a page for expression for you and us The Recession Is Over Says Brian Mulroney by Bob Watson Yes, according to Prime Minister Brian Mulroney the Canadian recession is over' That is certainly great to hear. .. but he said this in Ireland and England with no business people to question him on this statement. Of course, when you are travelling to your ancestors' homeland and enjoying the leadup to a big conference with the top leaders in the big 7 group we suppose that you would think in a happy state of mind. After all, the recession hasn't hit our prime minister because his way of life ... and salary ... is maintained regardless of the business status of the country. However, we find it very aggravating to have this political leader, whose government seems completely unaware of the facts of the economics of Canada. giving out this information in other lands. Most Canadians, according to recent polls, want Mulroney to resign and give us a new leader. Hopefully a replacement would understand the workings of the economics of the country. Last week the interest rate was stalled by the Bank of Canada at 9.89% but the GST is still aggravating a large number of Canadians - as well as many Americans. Small business is still the engine to get this country roll- ing with economic prosperity and nothing the government is doing at the moment is of any real help to the small business community. We've had lots of bankruptcies - thousands of them - and our unemployment rolls are up high but according to the prime minister this is not an in- dicator of recession. Now if we could all enjoy his salary and benefits there would be no complaints, would there' Taxpayers - Take Heart Dear Sir: Ontano taxpayers can take heart' A new group called Ontanans for Responsible Government has just been form- ed to oppose the ruinous s economic policies of NDP Premier Bob Rae. A project of The National Citizens' Coalition, O.RG. is a voluntary organization dedicated to lower taxes, lower government spending and free enterprise. It's independent of all political parties and neither seeks nor would accept government handouts. O.R.G. has three aims. Fust, it will focus pressure on Rae's government to moderate its radical agenda. second it will ensure the defeat of the NDP government in the next provincial election and finally it will ensure that Ontario's next government embraces free enterprise and smaller government policies which allow the province to compete and thrive. The time for action is naw' In four years, Premier Rae's wrecking crew will have done a generation's worth of damage to Ontano, unless we, the taxpayers of Ontario, stop him. That's why Ontarians concerned about their future and the future of their children should take a stand and support O.R.G. in its campaign to end Rae's rampage. For more information about O.

"Members of the labour force who face cultural, language and other barriers are particularly vulnerable during times of economic slow -down," said Citizenship Minister Elaine Ziemba. "The sectors hardest hit by the recession are the manufacturing and service industries, which employ many of the clients of my Ministry. About Free Trade Jim Karygiannis, MP Scarborough Agincourt has been holding meetings to discuss the issue of free trade with Mexico. Reaction to the first meeting, held on June 26th, revealed a great deal of concern over the multilateral talks now in progress between Canada, the U.S., and Mexico. Mr. Karygiannis presented a petition calling upon the Canadian Government "to consult the Canadian public by way of a general election or referendum before proceeding with a multilateral free trade agreement with Mexico". "I am very concerned about this secretive deal," stated Mr. Karygiannis. "The government's back door dealings are not acceptable, and that is why I am encouraging my constituents to sign this petition." The petition also states that the petitioners "believe a multilateral free trade agreement with Mexico is potential- ly harmful to Canadians and will result in the loss of jobs by Canadian workers to Mexico". The legislated minimum wage differentials alone show an alarming imbalance favoring cheap Mexican manufacturing costs. While the Ontario Government just increased the minimum wage to tib per hour, the Mexican wage is under $1.1991 figures in- dicate that the average manufacturing wage rate in the U.S. is $10.71, in Canada it is $12.13 (U.S.) and in Mexico the average wage is $0.84. "The Canadian manufacturing industry is already reel- ing under the loss of 291,000 jobs - 110,000 in Ontario alone - since the introduction of the Free Trade Agreement on Jan. 1, 1989," stated Karygiannis. In April 1991 the Federal liberal Task Force on the Recession and the Economy noted job losses are a result of "a bad free trade deal without the promised adjustment programs, the inflated Canadian dollar; high interest rates; and the U.S. lure of low wages, low interest loans and tax incentives encourag- ing relocation of Canadian businesses to the U.S." While the government talks of replacing labour intensive jobs lost to Mexico with high tech. job markets, spending on education, retraining, science and technology, and research and development continue to be cut said Karygiannis. Over the period 1996 to 1996 the Federal Government has cut the Established Programs Financing (EPF) to the provinces for health care and postsecondary education by SW billion and the 1991 Budget cut the Cana- dian Job Strategy Feud by $100 million. The Liberal M.P. notes, "Our Party has always been in favour of freer trade. But we will not sit bads and allow the Tory Government to complete the demoralization of the Canadian economy with one final devastating blow to our manufacturing industry. I believe a free trade deal with Mexico, would be just that. I am strongly encouraging peo. ple to attend the meetings and sign the petition." Wilson Is Wrong To The Editor: Michael Wilson, Canada's past Finance Minister in an in- terview with Pamela Wallin, Channel 9 C.F. T.O. ; T.V. July 10, 1991. Pamela suggested to Mr. Wilson that Canadians cannot penetrate United States markets because of the ban- dicaps such as the high valued Canadian dollar, our high in- terest rates and our Goods and Services Tax. Mr. Wilson's response was that these make it difficult at the beginning but would make it easier in time to corse. Mr. Wilson by now should realize that our Canadian industry desperately needs all the breaks at the beginning. Nonstarters do not survive to take advantage of the latter breaks. Mr. Wilson's Government gave away the store. The Cana- dian industries that had the capability and the potential to penetrate United States markets have seen the advantage of doing so from United States territory and simply moved lock stock and barrel down south. The remaining service in- dustries and wreaker manufacturing sector remaining in Canada are knee deep in a Canadian depression. Now that Mr. Wilson and Mr. Mulroney gave away the store they are trying to lay the guilt complex back onto Canadian effort and industry.

"Participants must raise a minimum of $200 in pledges before they can take part but most cyclists raise more than the re- quired amount which qualifies them for great gifts," said Beecroft. The $50 registration fee includes overnight accom- modation at the University of Guelph, all meals, rest stops every 10-15 km and emergency bicycle repairs. Aftermassages for weary muscles, rest and refreshments, more than 350 volunteers and the cyclists will be transported "Most people develop the wrong attitude when they bear about plant closings and rising unemployment," says author Ted Herriott, a Toronto advertising ex- ecutive. "They think because the economy is declining, that they cannot personally succeed or strive for their dreams. But my book explains how win- ners overcome this reces- sionary mental trap and surge ahead in spite of negative economic news." "Whether there is a recession or an economic boom, winners set themselves apart from their peers by clearly defining a burning sense of purpose," Herriott says. "They communicate strong positive thoughts, to themselves and to others. And they continue to strive ahead no matter what obstacles stand in their way." Set out in nine chapters filled with success stories, inspiring quotations, and common sense advice, "Heads I Win, Tails You Lose" explains habits displayed by people who achieve their goals, regardless of the state of the economy. These habits are: Resilience, Excellence, Communication, Energy, Self -Discipline, Sense of Purpose, Initiative, Organization, No Recess.

July 17, 1991 Bill Watt's Worlds ON SCREEN: Point Break (20th Cen- tury Fox) is arguably the stupidest motion picture of this or any other year. Now, don't stop reading; stay with us. It is a stupid film unless one is prepared to suspend belief and or critical acui- ty. If, however, -if -one is ready to live with the hoariest of plots, holes in said plot large enough to allow passage of a surf board, simply dreadful dialogue, mumbling delivery of same, a woman who apparently never sleeps but who always looks gorgeous, then there is enjoyment to be found in Point Break. ( Well you cer- tainly deserve something after wading through the preceding sentence.) Briefly stated, Johnny Utah -a name that fits nice- ly on marquees is anticipa- tion of a sequel or even a series -is fresh out of the F.B.I. Academy and assigned to Ins Angeles. He is partnered with a veteran officer and they go under cover to seek out and capture a gang of bank rob- bers. the Ex presidents. The gang is called that because members wear latex masks of former U.S. presidents while perform- ing the robberies. Get it' Ex presidents' Robbers' The gang members do the robberies to support a life style of surfing and sky. diving. So, what is there to enjoy in Point Break' For us it's the spectacular surf scenes filmed in southern Califor- nia and Hawaii. Director of Photography Donald Peterman surely deserves an Oscar nomination for capturing the immense power and majesty of the ocean at high surf. Literal- ly stupendous. The sky diving scenes are expertly done as well, so well. in fact. that one almost forgets how they flagrantly disregard the laws of aerodynamics. Still. Huxley got away with in Eyeless In Gaza so what the hey. Keanu Reeves plays Johnny Utah and about the best that can be said of his performance is that he gets through it. The role is so poorly written that Olivier himself couldn't have done anything with it. Gary Busey is reliable as always playing his partner and Patrick Swayze is wasted in the role of the gang leader, a characterization so cliche ridden as to be laughable. Lori Petty is the young lady who apparently sleeps but little and always looks beautiful. There's a Debra Winger quality about her in her innocence and yet there is glamour about her as well. We suggest there is major stardom ahead for her. Just don't let it be in Point Break II or The Return Of Johnny Utah. WALTZ TIME: Henry Ingram has sent along to us the schedule for next season's offerings by the Toronto Operetta Theatre. They are Countess Maritza and Wiener Blui (Vienna Blood). We'll be printing more details in future columns but we wish to address the latter production now because of something special about it. The per- formances of it -to be held in the Jane Mallett Theatre -will culminate on New Year's Eve with a gala "Silvesterball" per- formance and party. What a wonderful way to bring in the New Year! BARGOON TIME: The Toronto Symphony. the Ontario Place Pops Or- chestra and the National Ballet of Canada are far and away the finest attrac- tions at Ontario Place Forum. Now Ontario Place has announced nced that if tickets for these performances are purchased at the Forum Box Office, the price is reduced 50%. We're not just sure what the rationale is for such a policy though we imagine it has something to do with get- ting people to go to Ontario Place and spend time en- joying all of its attractions. not just those of the Forum. What ever, it's a fine bargain and shouldn't be passed up. JULY :MUSIC: The remaining programs in July for Music at Sharon will include. among many other artists. Musid de Montreal and the Orford String Quartet. We recommend atten- dance this Saturday even- ing when I Musici presents an evening with The Romantics to include Brahms' Liebeslieder Waltzes and Serenade for Strings by Dvorak. Ah yes, life is indeed good KIDS' MUSIC: We deplore having children called young goats but Kid makes for an easier cut line. Forgive us please and continue with us as we offer comments on three recently heard cassettes of music for children. Let's Help This Planet by Kim and Jerry Brodey while aimed at and intend- ed for young listeners could just as easily pass for early San Francisco awareness music. most of it anyway. Pass It On could almost be gospel. Mr. Babbette is probably the most child oriented. Jack Grursky seems to have been influenced by Harry Belafonte.

The Belafonte influence, if one should call it that, is also evident on Mr. Grun- sky's Children of the Morn- ing ( Dandelion I A. & M.) Little Samba Girl moves right along and one can almost imagine little ones hopping to its rhythmn. On the same cassette, however there's also a spirited version of the early nock hit At the Hop. As well, one is quite taken by the vigour in Gypsies. Musical values are sound on all three of these casset- tes and one confidently recommends them par- ticularly to be slipped in the cassette player when the children are in the car for long journeys. Might also point out that adults can enjoy them as well. All of which brings us to a point that we almost hesitate to make. Almost but not quite. It seems to us that if music intended for children can be enjoyed by adults, then the children must be capable of more than childlike appreciation. Why then, shouldn't they be reading books? We're not suggesting literature over music necessarily. We are sug- gesting may. and probably hamftstedly, that if an adult can enjoy music writ- ten for children, then the converse is true. Let the children be offered adult music. Chopin canes to mind, or GersMriia, even Tchaiiowsky. If such music should still be "heavy" then offer books to read. Don't. however, hold a child's ap- preciation only to those things of childhood. Let the mind soar. Quoting from a coffee cup we once saw. It's hard to soar like an eagle when you're surrounded by turkeys. BILLY D. KIDD'S NOTEBOOK: John Wimbs has left the Elgin/Winter Garden operation and is now with the Live Entertainment Corporation, the force behind The Phantom of the Opera at the Pantages. If you still haven't had the opportunity to see the Phantom there is still a way you can at least see and enjoy the beautiful Pantages Theatre. Instead of keeping the theatre dark on Mondays, a series of one righters has begun. It continues this Monday with an ap- pearance by George Carlin, possibly today's funniest comedian. On suc- cessive Mondays per- formers to be presented are Rita Rudner and Louie Anderson, Don Rickles and Susan Anton, Natalie Cole, Burt Bacharach and Dionne Warwick. Prices vary for each at- traction but each one is well worth custom. IN PRINT: How I Made a Hundred Movies in Hollywood and Never Lost a Dime by Roger Corman with Jim Jerome ( Random House) is almost a literally correct title.

Last Goodwill Boxes Removed Goodwill Industries of Toronto removed the last of its collection boxes from Metro streets on Fri. June successful. He has done so with a combination of sound business efficiency and a complete lack of pretension. Pine -Thomas did the same thing in the forties but were never the same when Paramount "rewarded" them by mov- ing them uptobig budget productions. Among Cmmhan's better known films are The Wild Angels, The Intruder, The Pit and the Pendulum, Machine Gun Kelly and Bloody Mama. Among the stars who got their start in a Corman film are William Shatner, Charles Bronson, Robert DeNiro, Bruce Dern and Jack Nicholson. Stats who had their careers revived in one of his films include Vincent Price, Basil Rathbone, Peter Lorre and Shelley Winters. The book is well written and crammed with stills featuring many young ac- tors who went on to major stardom. Most enjoyable, however, are the written contributions of the people who have been associated with Mr. Corman over the years. Far and away the best of them are those of Jack Nicholson who is an excellent writer. In fact, we didn't know until reading the book that he has been and is a screen writer, a very good one too.

Goodwill, a non-profit agency that sells donated goods to provide job train- ing services, has used the familiar blue and white col- lection boxes since 1935. "We have been conver- ting our collection system since 1947," says Goodwill Transportation Manager Russell Carey. who has worked at Goodwill since 1968_ "Instead of boxes. Good- will is collecting goods at staffed Donation Cd!ntres and at our stores," says Carey - Boxes were difficult to keep clean and were often vandalized according to Goodwill's Russell Carey. Goodwill's new collection system is cleaner, more ef- ficient and less costly to run than the boxes have been, Carey says. "Our job training pro- grams depend on dona- tions. so we hope donors will contirnue to get their goods to us as we convert the system," Goodwill's Russell Carey says. Donors wanting to know the nearest donation loca- tion as the last box disap- pears are raged to call Goodwill's switchboard at 362-4711.

Fan, says Carolyn McDonell, national co-ordi- nator of the Beef Informa- tion Centre. Based an Statis- tics Canada figurm per cap- ita consumption has remained relatively stable for the past six years, averaging 62 pounds, retail weight. In fact, we consume slightly more beef today than we did in the meat and potato era of the arty '60s. McDonell says a misintcr- pretation of the existing sta- tistics has created an maecu- rate picture of today's mar- ket for beef. "One popular myth is that beef consump- tion has plummeted in recent years, while chicken has skyrocketed", she says. McDoncll adds that while chicken eonsum ption has made steady gains through- out the 30s. beef demand has held its ground. Beef still outsells chicken by more than 10 pounds per person (retail basis). The mast recent sta- tistics show that Canadians consumed 60 pounds of beef per capita in 1989 and 49 pounds of chicken. iw so 60 w .e 10 CL 20 0 Elizabeth Sally. research analyst with Canf a Rcseatch Services, agrees with these figures. Sally explains that consumption figures shift up and down, reflecting avail- able supplies in may given yar. "Consumption is sup- ply driven," she notes. "We at all that is produced." In the case of beef, supplies art determined more than three years in advance_ Within the industry, consumption statis- tics are used to track trends, not year-to-year fluatuaboas. Average per capita beef con- sumption in the '60s was 60 pounds, r=etail weight. It in- creased significantly in the '709 to 73 pounds, returning to more normal levels in the '809. According to Sally, the in- creased consumption in the " 70s resulted from an unchar- acteristic bulge in the availa- bility of supplies during 1975- 78, peaking in 1976 at 86 pounds. Huge numbers of cattle came to market in this period because of economic conditions unrelated to the demand for beef. In fact, the price of beef plummeted below the cost of production due to the enormous supply. With a perishable product," Sally (p WW "You have little choice but to sell it or smell it.. If we are enjoying as much beef as ever and eating more chicken, arc we then eating too much meat? Pas Scarlett, dietitian and nutrition co- ordinator with the Beef In- formation o-formation Centre, explains that Canadian meat oonsump- tion does not exceed nutri- tion recommendations. "When you factor in the bone and fat removed by the packer, retailer and at home, puns cooking lasses, Canadians consume 3 ounces of all red meats per day," she says. "Even when we include poul- try (1.3 oz) and fish (0.68 oz), we are well within the recommended guidelines of 4 to 6 ounces of meat per day." Scarlett adds that Canadians eat even less than the amount reflected in these figures because there is no allowance for loss, waste or spoilage.

The hospital became the first hospital in Scar- borough to perform a "Laparascopic Hysterec- tomy" - a significant medical advancement over the conventional hysterec- tomy procedure. As a result, the patient's stay is reduced from 5 to 2 days, and they can return to work in 2 weeks rather than 6 weeks. According to Dr. Richard Austin, the gynaecologist who performed the surgery, "this is a technically complex but simple procedure that enables the patient to get better a lot faster". The procedure involves making 3 or 4 very small in- cisions large ��is performed while being viewed on a TV screen, which is made possible by a mini camera attached to a telescope (laparoscope), which is inserted into the patient's abdomen. Can - pared to the conventional hysterectomy. there is far less post-operative pain and the surgery is far less traumatic for the patient. Mrs. Deborah Moonlight. a 32 year old Scarborough resident and mother of two, was the first recipient of the new procedure. "From speaking with other people who have had the normal F.M.C.

It's also nice to know that with the new pro- cedure, my hospital stay will be shortened by a few days," she said. Dr. Austin stresses that this new procedure re- quires a great deal of team- work. He is especially thankful to Anna Heney, the operating roo=t's Charge Nurse for Gynaecology, who was responsible for arranging all of the surgical in- struments and the video equipment for the surgery. 'Ilse hospital introduced a similar type of surgical procedure in March of this year when it performed Scarborough's first "Laparascopic Cholecystectomy" a new and innovative method of gallbladder surgery.

We both turned our heads in time to see a yel- low puppy streak toward a large mud puddle at one end of our neighbour's new pool. Our neighbour Terry came out the door just in time to see his new puppy wriggling ecstatical- ly in the mud. He retrieved a sodden piece of paper from its mouth and said, "Our spring energy bill. Don't ask me how Siegfried got hold of it. You know, it was a lot higher than it should have been, but I can't fig- ure out why." Well, I had at least one idea. Like us, Teary and his wife have two kids, and their house is the same size as ours. But I know we've got more insulation than they do. In the winter, for exam- ple, Terry has to crank up the thermostat higher than we do to keep warm, and he keeps it even higher than that so he doesn't have to put a sweater on. I think it's those kinds of little things that add up after a while to make the difference between Terry's bill and ours. And there's something else he didn't know: his spring bill was probably higher because it covered Lhe winter period, too. I noticed that a big load of laundry had keen pegged out on their line. "You won't have to have your dryer on as much now, anyway," I said, to try to cheer him up. Just then Siegfried exploded from the puddle and raced towards the clothesline. He swung briefly from a pair of Terry's white slacks before drop- ping to the ground to shake him- self furiously all over the half - dried clothing. With a sigh, Tcrry unpegged the half -dried laundry to take it in to wash again. "So much for lowering my energy bili," he lamented. "Rinse it in cold," I advised. "It'll be fine. And cheaper." "Do you mean the laundry?" he asked. "Or hire?" indicating Siegfried, who was now furious- ly digging up the rosebed.

Page 10 THE NEWS/POST Wed. July 17, 1991 Business Community News Seneca Launches New Program To meet the growing de- mand for trained profes- sionals knowledgeable about Ontario's building regulations, Seneca Col- lege is launching a one- year post -diploma pro- gram in Building Construc- tion Regulations Ad- ministrations (BCRA) this coming September. Conve- niently located at the Col- lege's Sheppard the program is the first of its kind in Canada. The BCRA program is designed for recent graduates of science and technology programs in colleges and universities who want to develop the regulatory and ad- ministrative skills now needed in the building in- dustry. These skills are essential for co-ordinating and liaising effectively with municipal officials and for solving problems associated with the process of obtaining proper permits on construction sites. It will also appeal to trades people with prac- tical experience in the con- struction industry who want a career flange and are interested in acquiring professional accreditation. This training will enable graduates to interpret pro- vincial building regulations so that construction pro- jects can be completed as planned, conforming to materials safety and en- vironmental concerns. One of the most useful features of the BCRA pro- gram is the field placement that all students undertake. This provides hands-on ex- perience, allowing students to put their new skills into practice and to be exposed to current office pro- ,cedures. It also gives potential employers an op- portunity to influence stu- dent training and to pro- vide experience for future graduates of the program on a temporary basis. BCRA graduates will find themselves in demand by design offices and municipal building depart- ments throughout Ontario. To offset the current shor- tage of trained inspectors. the Buildings Branch of On- tario's Ministry of Housing has put great effort into helping design the core cur- riculum of the program. ensuring that it meets the industry's specific needs. -Seneca's BCRA pro- gram will really wake a difference," said Dave Cooke, Ontario's Minister of Hosing. "The program is externely practical and very useful to both govern- ment and industry. We've needed something like this for a long time," Mr. Cooke said. G:;: eluates will also en- counter a wide spectrum of jc,F, r1pportunities in one of tloe province's bigger' in- dustries, employing half a million people among 80,000 firms. Potential employers include developers, designers, con- struction firms, renovators, building -site supervisors, private con- sultants and a bast of other professionals in the building industry. Salaries start at well above average levels and graduates will experieruce significant job mobility throughout On- tario and across Canada. Until now, the Ministry of Haling has provided the only available codes train- ing for inspectors as well as many other professionals in the building industry. This training consisted of workshops and seminars conducted by Ministry staff and short curses offered by various community col- leges. Seneca's new full-time program was preceded by several evening courses of- fered through its Contin inng Education division. Many associations within the building industry - all members of the Municipal and Industry Training and Education Council (MrMC) - have endorsed Seneca's Building Con- struction Regulations Ad- ministration program.

The board believes that as a popular destination for both tourists and business travellers, Metro Toronto should provide a high quali- ty, easily accessible welcome or orientation centre offering a diversity of services to its many visitors. Therefore, in its May 23rd, 1991 letter to Metro Chair- man Alan Tonks, the board recommends that Metro study the economic feasibility for the developo- went of a Metro Toronto "Orientation Centre" to be rum by the Metro Toronto Convention and Visitors Association. The board recommends that the proposed "Orienta- tion Centre" should be in a central location such as the new Metro Hall or Old City Hall. In addition, the board recommends that the Cen- tre be a multi -media centre run by well informed Metro Toronto "ambassadors". Furthermore, it should in- clude: an exciting video highlighting Metro Toron- to's urban qualities and tourist attractions; an in- teractive video display featuring points of in- terest: an electronic map of Metro Toronto attrac- tions; a complete database and network of Metro's historical, cultural and social events; a listing of current activities; various ticket sales: handouts; souvenir sales; and exhibit space. The board also recom- mends opportunities for private sector involvement through corporate sponsor- ship. Training Replying to the Board's submission "Labour Force Development Issues for 1991192" (Jan. 17,1991), Former Federal Minister of Employment and Im- migration, Barbara McDougall, indicates that the board would be a welcome participant on sub -regional structures created to support the Canadian Labour Force Development Board, new cars from John Kalsbeck, Director of Satisfaction at Nissan Canada Inc. The ceremony will take place on Thurs. July 18, at 11 a.m. on the lawn in front of the Jack Dennett Building of Centennial Col- lege. 75 Ashtonbee Road ( I block north of the intersec- tion of Eglinton and Warden Avenues). In case of rain, it will take place in- doors in the main hall of the Ray Thompson Building immediately adjacent. Canada's new national training board.

Pearson Airport with will be subject to hearings this fall. In preparation for these hearings, the board is distributing 75,000 brochures requesting sup port from the business community for the propos- ed runways. In addition, on May 22, 1991, the board hosted a breadfast for pro- ponents of the project, in- cluding several area Chambers of Commerce and other interested associations. Economic Policy On May 8, 1991, members of the board's Economic Policy. International Trade, Education and Labour Relations Commit- tees met with Indkstry, Trade and Technology Minister Allan Pilkey. The board's delegation com- mented critically on the re- cent provincial budget, ex- pressed concern over re- cent labour legislation pro- posals, education policies. and other matters affecting the province's economic competitiveness. The Minister acknowledg- ed that a reasonable balance must be struck bet- ween the demands of the private sector and the government's own long- term economic and social development strategies. He advised the board that private -sector concerns (contrary to the percep- tions of many in the business community) are being taken into considera- tion in the development of the province's economic strategy.

Stretching along the Gulf of Mexico from Tampa and St. Petersburg north through Clearwater Beach, Dunedin and Tarpon Spr- ings, the Pinellas Suncoast features an average 73 degree temperature and 361 days of sunshine each year. Excellent weather accommodates more than 3.6 million visitors who come to enjoy the area's natural attractions and wildlife each year. Only 30 minutes away from Tampa, the Suncoast also is close to Busch Gardens Tampa, a family entertainment centre and ne oof the nation's top four zoos where endangered species are featured in natural habitat exhibits. The 300 acre park is filled with more than 3,300 animals displayed within eight distinctly themed African sections, live entertainment, shops, restaurants, games and thrill rides. New last year is the Crown Colony House, a Victorian -themed hospitality centre and full service restaurant which overlooks the park's pic- turesque Serengeti Plain. Other recently added at- tractions included the '"Tanganyika Tidal Wave" water safari ride, a koala exhibit, Clydesdale Hamlet featuring the world-famous Budweiser Clydesdales and the elaborate "Aad the World on Ice" show. A splashing good time can be found at Adventure Island, a water park located adjacent to Busch Garden. New this year at the park is the "Caribbean Corkscrew", a high speed water thrill ride featuring two 230 foot fully enclosed, translucent tubes spiraling downward from a four story tower. The recently introduced "Water Moccasin" takes riders through a triple -tube water slide.

Whether it's a shot of ac - ronto's ilitary st by Kim Carter Walk along Garrison Road and you'll see a strange sight: a 19th cen- tury fort standing in the shadows of the Gardiner Expressway, overlooking railway tracks and glassy skyscrapers. Pockets of Toronto's military past ex- ist from here to the CN Tower, but most Toronto- nians don't realize it. But this year the Toronto Historical Board staff of Historic Fort York hope to broaden awareness of Toronto's military roots with guided walking tours around the fort's environs. "Toronto is here because of a defensive requirement - not many people realize the connection," says Cheryl Hart, the Fort's chief historical interpreter and tour organizer. Toronto was created in 1793 when a small garrison was established by Lieutenant -Governor James Graves Simcoe to protect the entrance to Toronto Bay when rela- tions with the Americans began to deteriorate. The garrison stationed at the fort included several famous British and Cana- dian regiments along with the soldiers' wives and In the late 18th and 19th centuries, the fort was a major contributor to the town's prosperity as the largest consumer of the town's goods and services: its presence would later in- fluence the dewriopanent of the character of the neighbouring civilian com- munity. ( Certain street names, like Wellington, have military overtones.) One of the bloodiest bat- tles of the War of 1812 was fought here when 1,750 Americans defeated the 750 -man force defending the fort. The Americans set fare to the fort, Parliament Buildings and several homes during a six-day oc- cupation of the town. Rebuilt between 1813-1816, the garrison managed to ward off another American attack. The Historical Board walking tour focuses on the geograghical and political context of the fort and its role in the founding of the town of York. It will also cover the city streets the soldiers would have known during the war of 1812. The torus are free and will take place July 14 and Sept. 15, beginning at 1:30 p.m. The 1-112 hour tour begins in the fort's orienta- tion room with a look at a model of the original town as well as maps and scenes from fort life. Afterwards, participants will walk along the fort's defensive walls to see how the area around the fort has chang- ed ( before landfill the fort overlooked Lake Ontario) tivity or a remedy of rest and relaxation on the beach, the Pinellas Sun - coast is a sure-fire cure for any spirit.

Three hundred and fifty American and Fort York soldiers were killed or wounded when the fort's gunpowder magazine ex- ploded during the Battle of York. Later, the tour will head north down Bathurst St. to visit various geographical and historical landmarks. One stop is Victoria Square, a memorial mark- ing the location of the first military cemetery in York and burial place of several figures. From there visitors will be taken dawn Front St. to learn how the lakefroat has changed since the War of 1812. They will also be shown where the old navy wharf and Commissariat Building ( where supplies from the ships were stock- ed and later brought to the fort) used to stand. Today they are the sites of the Skydome and CN Tower.

You've told us not to use the GST to pay for new spending, and we've listened. As part of our plan for economic recovery, the money we get from the GST will only be used to bring the public debt under control. Bringing the debt under control is one of the most impor- tant things we can do to ensure a better future for Cana- dians. That is why we've introduced a new law that says GST proceeds have to be paid into a Debt Servicing and Reduction Fund. This new account will be an important weapon in our con- tinuing battle with the deficit. The money we get from sell- ing Crown corporations will also go into this account, and individual Canadians will be able to make personal con- tributions to the fund. This account may only be used to pay interest on the debt, and as revenues grow over time, to pay down the net debt. This is clearly set out in the law which is now before Parlia- ment. To ensure compliance, the account will be audited annually by the Auditor General. Many Canadian acknowledged the need for the GST, but were worried that the money would be used to pay for new programs and services. We are determined to stop this from happening - To reinforce this initiative, we will table a tough law to control spending. For a five-year period, there will be a limit on how much Ottawa can spend on programs. Borrow- ing on increases in taxes, including the GST, would not be allowed to fund excess spending. Instead, cuts would have to be made to stay within the spending ceiling. These are challenging measures. They are matched by the toughness of the fiscal challenge facing Canada. They reflect our commitment to win the battle against the deficit and the debt, and they reflect the views of the many Cana- dian who have told us to lead the way and take the decisive action necessary to get the job done.
