Head Injury
Needs
Study
The Head Injury Associa-
tion of Durham Region has
begun an important Needs
Study with the release of a
questionnaire for people
who have experienced a
head injury and their
families.
"We want to get in touch
with every- head injury sur-
vivor living in the Durham
Region. We want them to
tell us about services for
head injured people from a
first hand perspective,"
says Frank Murphy, the
association's program
coordinator.
"The questionnaire is the
fust step in completing our
Needs Study, which also in-
volves a survey of medical
and human services profes-
sionals, a review of
available statistics from
this and other areas of On-
tario, and an examination
of service alternatives,"
stated Mr. Murphy.
"With the information we
are able to gather, we will
be better able to plan for
the future development of
much needed supports and
services for people who live
with effects of head in-
juries," he said.

Earle Pascoe To Be Honoured
Earle Pascoe has been
collecting antique clocks
and watches for 25 years,
and over the years he has
accumulated an im-
pressive timepiece collec-
tion. What merely started
off as a hobby, Earl's love
for the intricate workings
been distributed to all
members and to doctors'
offices, clinics and
hospitals in the Durham
Region. "We have more
copies at our office (459
Bond St. E. in Oshawa).
People can pick one up
there or they can call us at
416-723-2732," Mr. Murphy
added. "If you've had a
head injury, we want to
hear from you."
of the clock, has developed
into a full time career.
One of the most spec-
tacular pieces of Earl's col-
lection is an old clock that,
at one time, was situated in
the tower of the old Post Of-
fice. This masterpiece
weighs approximately 1600
pounds and is an important
Whitby memorial.
Earl identifies, repairs
and restores clocks from
his home, and today he will
be happy to identify your
treasured pieces.
Earl has also been for-
tunate enough to obtain a
set of old Swiss watchmak-
ing tools which will also be
on display.
These tools originally
belonged to F. A. Von
Gunten who immigrated to
Canada from Switzerland
during the early part of the
19th century. Mr. Von
Gunten was in the wat-
chmaking business for
nearly 32 years in the City
of Oshawa.
The Whitby Local Ar-

Search
Open House
Members of the public
are invited to attend an
open house in Pickering at
the Kahn Auction Barn on
Thurs. Aug. 29th from 4 to 9
p.m. to discuss the search
for a landfill site in the
Durham Region.
This is one of a number of
public open houses and
public consultation ac-
tivities to be held
throughout the Durham
Region. Public input is im-
portant in designing the
process to search for,
select and establish a long-
term landfill site.
Staff of the Interim
Waste Authority Ltd (IWA)
who are responsible for
overseeing the landfill site
search, will be at the open
house, along with
specialists from various
environmental disciplines
to answer questions.
"The IWA is the fust
agency to circulate a docu-
ment which explains the
proposed site search pro-
cess and asks for public
comment before undertak-
ing the search," said Ery
McIntyre, general
manager, IWA. Mr. McIn-
tyre noted that Draft Ap-
proach and Criteria (DAC)
documents have been
prepared for each region -
The DACs will only be
finalized when public corn-
ments and concerns have
been considered. The
public review period will
last until mid-October 1991.
The documents open for
discussion several con-
troversial Lgmues that have
been raised in other landfill
site searches. These issues
include participant fun-
ding, impact management
measures and equity.
The IWA will hold 27 open
houses and nine workshops
from mid-August to the end
of September, in the
Regional Municipalities of
Peel, Durham and
York/ Metropolitan Toron-
to to provide information
and comment on the DACs
and the landfill site selec-
tion process. Along with
these open houses,
meetings, newsletters and
regular new releases will
provide information and
obtain further public input.
The DAC document for
each of the three site
search areas suggests
detailed criteria dealing
with such things as
agriculture, biology,
geology, hydrogeology,
land use and social issues.
After input from the public,
the criteria will be used to
identify candidate areas
and a long list of candidate
sites. These lists are ex-
pected to be announced in
November 1991.
Additional refinement of
the criteria using public in-
put will result in a short list
of sites which are expected
to be announced in
February 1992, with the
preferred sites released in
August 1992. Documenta-
tion under the En-
vironmental Protection Act
and Environmental Assess-
ment Act will be completed
for submission to the
Ministry of the Environ-
ment and the public for
review in March 1993.
There will be a subse-
quent hearing before a
Joint Board under the Con-
solidated Hearings Act.
The expected start up of
the landfill sites is early
1996.
Public Information Of-
fices have been established
for the three search areas.
The toll-free information
lines are Durham

Where Is Mulroney?
by Bob Watson
Well, we are finally into another postal strike and the
federal government is not doing its duty to look after the in-
terests of its citizens. Oan't labour disputes - especially
government employees or postal workers - be settled
without chaos in our postal system? If we want a good
postal service in the future, this is not the way to do it.
The federal government should be looking after the in-
terest of its people and it wouldn't hurt to help the small
businesses (the financial backbone of Canada) suffering
from a recession triggered by our representatives at Ot-
tawa, as well as high interest rates, a too -strong Canadian
dollar and the idiotic GST on postage stamps, electricity
and newspapers.
This beautiful country of ours is going down the drain
economically because the Conservative government at Ot-
tawa seems to be completely unaware of the facts of life.
Canadians are angry at many things - more angry that we
have ever seen them. And it is for good reasons.
Mulroney, the economic issues of Canada are first prion -
ty and recognizing the Baltic States and holidaying with
Bush is not top of our list'

Peter Park of Toronto has dedicated his life to empower-
ing people who have been labelled, as he himself was in ear-
ly childhood, "mentally handicapped". He founded the first
chapter m Brantford of People First, a movement run by

founded People First of Ontario.
Wage Settlements
Federal Labors' Minister Marcel Danis has released
figures showing a decline to 3.3 per cent in the level of base
wage rate increases from major collective bargaining set-
tlements reached in the second quarter of 1991. Increases in
the first quarter averaged 6.2 per cent. The second-quarter
figure is the lowest since the fourth quarter of 1986 when the
average was also 3.3 per cent. The results are based on a
review of the 167 settlements reached in the quarter cover-
ing 577,300 employees.
The Minister noted that the sharp second-quarter decline
resulted primarily from low public sector settlements in
those provinces which have adopted wage restraint legisla-
tion and programs. Public sector increases in the quarter
averaged 3.2 per cent, down from 6.4 per cent in the first
quarter. Private sector settlements also continued to
decline, with second quarter increases of 5.1 per cent in the
third quarter of 19go.

Two heads in the sand
are no better than one
By Michael K'vcks
The recession, cross-border
shopping, the 7 -per cent Goods
and Services Tax—this triple
whammy has played no
favorites in its assault on all
sectors of the Canadian econ-
omy. The once healthy tourism
industry, for example, has been
a prime target as Canadians are
venturing to the United States
in record numbers, spending
their money and vacations
south of the 49th parallel. On
the other hand, because of tax-
ing masons. Americans aren't as
eager to shop for gas, clothing
and food here, which hurts as
Yankee dollars have always been
a huge source of revenue for
Canada's tourist industry. Not
anymore. Tourism is down
almost 10 per cent from last
Year and tourism operators are
watching their business drop to
levels not seen since the 1981-82
recession. And cross-border
shopping continues to exact a
heavy toll on thousands of
small businesses across the
country. So what can be done?
Well, not much if you put
your trust into the hands of Ftd-
eral Minister of Small Business
and Tourism, Tom Hockin. and
bis Minister of (Revenue col-
league, Otto Jelinek. Together,
Jelinek and Hockin form the
brains behind the federal
government's attack on the
precipitous drop in tourism and
the soaring level of cross-border
shopping.
On occasion, Jelinek has
been seen popping up in towns
and cities across the counts
holding meetings with civic
mayors and provincial politi-
cians in an effort to come up
with solutions to this "made in
Canada" testi revolt. He has
managed to keep a straight face
while saying the "GST is not a
factor in -people's decision to
shop in the U.S." Whether he
believes what he says, the latest
poll by Angus Reid shows
almost half of respondents
shop south of the border spe-
cifically to avoid paying the
GST: Jelinek's measures—fast-
track lanes, heavier fines for
smuggling, and the yet -to -be
launched (in Ontario) federal -
provincial sales tax collection
arrangement—have merely
bandaged the hemorrhage and
the shoppers' stampede con-
tinues unabated (5.2 million
one -day shoppers in May of
this year, a 19.6 per cent jump
over April).
For his part, Hockin has
tried to address the drop in
tourism and the American
antagonism towards excess
taxation with GST rebates
for travellers to Canada. He
has called the GST rebate
"one of the most generous in
the world." Unfortunately, its
generosity doesn't extend to
items and services used most
when vacationing—restaurant
meals, gasoline drinks, room
service. lronwally, the rebates
are provided only after the per-
sons) have returned home;
Canadian tax dollars end up
being spent outside of Canada
by non -Canadians. Hockin also
saw fit to commission a survey
of Amer k-Ans' views of Canada
as a travel destination. The fund-
mp showed our neighbors from
the south consider Canada at
least 20 per cent more etpensive
than a holiday in the US
What Hockin and Jelinek
have stubbornly refused to
acknowledge, is that businesses
along with consumers are car-
rying heavy tax burdens which
play into the hands of lower
taxed U.S. firms. Until all keels
of government admit that high
taxes arc a large part of the
problem. the other so-called
solutions are only public rela-
tions initiatives.

Pension Plan Partnership
An agreement to run the S21 -billion Ontario Teachers'
Pension Plan as an equal partnership between the Ontario
government and teacher's has been finalized. Education
Minister Marion Boyd and Ontario Teachers' Federation
(OTF) President Guill Archambault signed letters of
agreement at a special ceremony on Aug. 20th.
"The government took its promises about partnership
seriously and this agreement is the tangible result," said
Mr. Archambault. "We are proud to be partners in this new
structure in which government and techers co-sponsor the
teachers' pension plan and share the risks and gains...
The
Car Insurance Crunch
The real cost of government ownership
The provincial government has announced its intentions
to change the auto insurance system in the fall. While
specific plans have not yet been revealed, Financial Institu-
tions Minister Brian Charlton is on record in support of a
public auto insurance system.
Jack Lyndon, President of Insurance Bureau of Canada,
says, "If the government does take over auto insurance in
the province, the economic impact would be staggering. Up
to 8,000 people could lose their jobs, more than 50 insurance
companies might fold their operations, and government
start-up costs could be over $1 billion."
8,000 jobs could be lost
A number of studies by independent consultants have
looked at potential job losses if the government takes over
auto insurance.
Today, property and casualty insurance companies,
those that offer home and auto insurance to consurners,
employ about 44,000 people either directly as employees or
indirectly as brokers and adjusters. Of the 44,000, approx-
imately 26,500 are involved with auto insurance.
If the government takes over the auto insurance business,
all company employees involved in auto insurance would
likely be laid off as well as a precentage of brokers and ad-
justers. In all, the total lay-offs could run as high as 15,000.
Assuming government would hire about 7,000 employees to
handle public auto insurance, job loss to industry
employees and related organizations could be up to 8,000
jobs.
Most of the people thrown out of work would be women
because about two-thirds of the insurance industry
employees and 60 per cent of the province's brokers are
women.
Because insurance jobs are fairly evenly distributed
throughout the province. job loss would be severe in
smaller, urban centres where alternative employment is
not readily available.
Canadian companies would be hard hit
In analyzing the impact on the various companies offer-
ing auto insurance, the Conference Board of Canada in-
dicated that Canadian -owned companies could be hardest
hit. While multi -nationals tend to have operations in many
countries and can take a longer-term view of investment,
Canadian companies usually do not have broad-based
operations to Cushion change.
With Ontario auto totalling about 30 per cent of all proper-
ty and casualty insurance premiums in the country, the
Conference Board of Canada predicts that up to 28
Canadian -owned companies and a further 23 foreign-owned
companies could fold operations.
The result would certainly be a withdrawal of investment
in the province. As of December 1989, property and casual-
ty insurance companies had about to billion invested in the
province. Close to half of the investment is in federal, pro-
vincial, municipal and school bonds. If government takes
over auto insurance and companies downsize or fold, some
of the that capital would be withdrawn and invested
elsewhere.
Start -tor costs rip to it billion
There is no question that setting up a new government
organization to offer auto insurance would cost money.
Most studies conclude that the cost could be as high as $l
billion. Naturally. that amount would have to be raised in
some manner - either by a grant from taxes or by borrow-
ing funds.
If a one-time grant was provided from tax revenues, in
essence, all Ontario taxpayers would be subsidizing a
system that benefits only the driving public. On the other
hand, if funds were borrowed, some of the costs would have
to be supported through premiums.
Little benefit to consumer
Although the government says some savings would be
created by streamlining the insurance system, consumers
in the three Canadian provinces with public insurance have
not experienced rate reductions.
Mr. Lyndon says, "About 86 cents of every premium
dollar collected goes beck into settling insurance claims.
That would be the same no matter who owns the system.
Government, like private industry, would also face
overheads such as office rentals and salaries that would
likely total at least 10 per cent. The other four cents should
be re -invested to allow for long-term premium stability. It's
had to see where savings would corse from."
With the existing auto irsur•ance system wonting well in
its first year of operation, Mr. Lyndon concludes. "if the
system isn't broken, there is no need to fix it."

East General Hospital Working To Cut Its Debt
In response to concerns
raised about the recent
cuts of paediatric beds at
Toronto East General and
,Orthopaedic Hospital, the
Board of Governors has ap-
pointed an independent
consultant to review the
process and plan of the
hospital to balance its
budget for 1991192.
The consultant, Bob Bell,
'Practice Director and
'Partner, Health and Social
Services, with the con-
sulting firm Ernst &
Young, will examine the
process by which the action
was taken to eliminate the
hospital's projected deficit
of $4.3 million, including
the timetable and the con-
sultation process with ap-
propriate committees and
medical and nursing staff.
Mr. Bell will look at the
nine alternative proposals
that were considered, and
the proposed implementa-
tion of the Dian that was
selected. He will also ex-
amine the way in which the
reduction of beds, par-
ticularly paediatric and
obstetric beds, is being
monitored.
"We wanted to set up a
process that will examine
bow we arrived at the con-
clusion to close 70 beds at
Toronto East General in
such a way that the com-
mt pity and those who have
expressed concerns about
our actions could have in-
put and raise questions,"
states William Taylor,
Chairman of the Board of
Governors.
-Accordingly, the cont
surltants will meet with the
Coalition of Concerned
Parents, the District
Health Council, the
medical, nursing and
general staff of the
hospital, and in particular
the paediatricians who
have been concerned about
our actions,.. he said.
Adds peter Blachford,
Chief Executive Officer of
the Toronto East General
and Orthopaedic Hospital:
"This study is intended to
look at how the hospital has
made its recent decision.
We have asked the consul-
tant to report back to the
Board as quickly as pssi-
ble. In the meantime the
hospital will continue to
monitor the situation close-
ly_,,
"However I must stress
that the hospital is comrruit-
ted to continuing ac-
cessability and quality
care for the children and
famlies in this community.
Patient care is our first and
foremost priority and we
hope that this review will
contribute to that goal,". he
added.

What Is A Spouse?
Metro Council spent
hours debating the defini-
tion of a "spouse" at its
Aug. 15th meeting.
Councillor Howard
Moscoe said it was a
"moral dilemma for
employers because of the
narrow interpretation of
the law." He felt that it was
inevitable that a spouse
and partner could be of the
salve sex.
Councillor Brian Har-
rison said that neither
federal nor provincial laws
have been adjusted to
reflect this view.
Councillor Anne
Johnston asked "what
about a son or daugbter?"
She asked if you have to
have sex in order to qualify
as a "spouse". She felt that
two people with an
economic contract should
qualify.
Scarborough Mayor
Joyce TYinuner moved a
motion that it should be the
ability of an employee to
name .Thom he or she
wishes to enjoy the benefits
of a spouse. She requested
a further report. This mo-
tion was finally approved.
Reform of Municipal
biaaaciug
Metro Council is going to
ask the Minister of
Municipal Affairs to in-
vestigate the use of addi-
tional methods of financing
municipal expenditures, in-
cluding a municipal in-
come tax, hotel taxes,
municipal enterprises, etc.
It also wants an investiga-
tion of the current assess-
ment of hotels and multiple
unit residential properties.
This task force on the
reform of municipal finan-
cing should continue into
the next term of the council
checking into ways of get-
ting more finances to han-
dle the expenditures.
Metro is reaffirming its
position that the provincial
government should remove
the education costs from
the property tax base and
consider funding from
more progressive tax
sources.
The task force also sug-
gests that there could be an
examination of the
feasibility of a general
redistribution of program
responsibilities between
the province and Metro
Toronto in line with the
general principles of ac-
countability and service
delivery.

Bill Watt's Worlds
IN PRINT:
The Novel ( Random
House) is the latest book by
James A. Michener. It will
not, we believe, be con-
sidered his best or even one
,of his best. Such, however,
is the skill and talent of Mr.
Michener that it is far
above and beyofid the
writings of most of his con-
temporaries.
Much respect is intended
when remarking that Mr.
Michener could probably
write about the production
of a telephone book and
make it compelling
reading. Here, he has writ-
ten about the creation of a
novel and all the elements
of the creative and the
commercial that go into it.
As well, he delivers ex-
cellent insights into the
publishing industry, the
way in which books will
likely be manufactured in
the future and the intrusion
of foreign capital into the
North American economy.
He has taken what, on the
face of it, appears a simple
subject and treated it in the
grand manner.
The novel is written in
four parts and each in first
person singular. The four
parts are titled The Writer:
Lttitas Yoder, the Editor:
Yvonne Marmelle. The
Critic: Karl Streibert and
The Reader: Jane
Garland. Our astute
readers will have noted
that Mr. Michener has at-
tempted the difficult task
of a male writing as a
female in two of the four
parts. He has done it well.
For us, the most in -
Wresting of the four is the
first. the one that deals
with the writer and the
creative endeavour.
Everyone believes that he
or she can write a book.
Few can, however. The
principal reason is that it is
such hard work.
Oh, the first draft is
sheer delight as the words
flow freely, sometimes
faster than the ability to
transfer them to paper.
But, then comes the
rewrites, the sometimes
heated discussions with
one's editor and the deep
down dredging into the
mind to find a better way of
saying what one has initial-
ly thought was self evident.
It should also be mention-
ed that Mr. Michener
reminds one and all that
the rewriting can be
physically difficult. One is
under a deadline and can-
not just get up and walk
around when one's back is
sore or fingers stiff. You
stay at the keyboard until
the task is completed.
Every writer puts
something of himself into a
novel and one supposes
there will be guessing
games over how much of
the material in the novel is
biographical. We suspect
that very little of it is. Cer-
tainly there is little com-
parison between the plod-
ding Lukas Yoder and Mr.
Michener except that they
both enjoy fine food and
write about it very well.
The former has led a
placid life while the latter
was a distinguished
academic before becoming
a dashing naval officer dur-
ing World War 11 and then
a writer at age forty. There
could be some of Mr.
11kchener in The Critic but
we rather doubt it. He has
never written with asperity
( well, maybe has has
wanted to) and he is cer-
�� Around and A bou
Your Dining &Entertainment Guide
tainly not gay.
With all of the foregoing,
readers might well be ask-
ing by now why we think
this isn't one of Mr.
Michener's best. Well, it's
because there seems a
rushed quality about it. The
,author is in his eighties now
and it almost appears that
the publishers want to get
,as much as they can from
the gentleman before he
departs for that great
publisher's office in the
sky.
The editing seerns sloppy
'to us. For instance, the
word archetypically is used
a few times. Now, ar-
chetypal is the adjective,
archetypally is the adverb.
We have been unable to
find the word archetypical-
ly in our dictionaries.
Perhaps the word is
legitimate in American
usage but why bother when
there is already a perfectly
acceptable, and shorter,
precedent?
It seems to us, as well,
that the final chapters are
short of full fnittion. There
is even confusion over time
frames and we found it
necessary to retrace our
pages in a few instances to
determine proper sense.
Very well then, The
Novel isn't one of James
Michener's best. We'd still
be willing. metaphorically.
of course, to sell our soul
for the talent to write a
boort like it! Mr. Michener
is a writer, we're only a
scribbler.

Canadian Stage Company Sets Record
General Manager
Hamilton McClymont has
announced that The Cana-
dian Stage Company has,
to date, sold a record 10,163
subscriptions to its Bluma
Appel season, representing
the largest number of
subscribers since the com-
pany formed four years
ago!
The company has sur-
passed its 1991-92 goal of
10,000 subscriptions, and
the numbers continue to
climb steadily. Subscrip-
tions are on sale until the
end of October.
McClymont attributes
the overwhelming success
of this season's campaign
to a number of factors.
"Ota audience is finding
the variety of our 91 92
season programming very
appealing. That, together
with the excellent value of
buying a season subscrip-
tion• is attractive to
theatre -goers."
McClymont adds that
theatre patrons were
especially pleased with last
year's season and are
quick to renew their
subscrittians for this year's
line-up. The renewal rate is
presently at 86%. up from
the overall renewal rate of
77% for 1990-91.

Theatre season line-up in-

James Michener's ability
to write well about food
reminded us of another
book we've been holding on
our review shelf for an op-
portunity to comment upon
it. The book is "You'll
Never Eat Lunda in This
Town Again" by Julia
Phillips ( Random House) .
The title is play pro-
phetic because we suspect
Miss Phillips will never
have a book published
again. That's not because
of the contents of this one -
abrout which, more later -
but simply because she's
such a dreadful writer.
It has long been realized
that most Hollywood types
can't write worth a damn
because they don't have to,
says he neatly avoiding en-
ding a sentence with a
preposition. They think in
terms of screen images.
One of the best at it was B.
P. Schulberg whose son
Budd wrote the now
definitive "What Makes
Sammy Run".
Miss Phillips, however,
seems to have forgotten
that images do not lend
themselves to appearance
on paper except in the
hands of a skilled writer,
one like James Michener.
Miss Phillips' frenetic
and undisciplined style -
howinell could it possibly
be edited? - makes the
humourous offerings of the
late Don Marquis seem of
Nobel prize calibre.
We're starting to become
mean and don't wish to con-
tinue. If you're interested
in the seamier side of
Hollywood production and,
if you have the patience to
plod through Miss Phillips'
"You'll Never Eat Lunch
etc.", you might find it en-
joyable.
As for us, the only thing
her book has done as we

Among other things,
Centennial's new annual

contains a host of new

from English comprehen-

it will soon be time for hen-

some scrapple, hopefully
as good as that described

ON T.V.:
Commended to your at-
tention is a five part series
currently showing on
C.H.C.H_ Channel 11. It's
titled Summer in the 70s
and deals with some of the
more exciting events of
those years, who was in-
volved in them and what
they are doing now.
Paul Henderson, for ex-
ample, who scored the win-
ning goal for Team Canada
in 1972 used to play for the
old Hamilton Redwings.
After retiring from hockey
in 1981, Mr. Henderson
entered a seminary and is
now a practicing minister
in Mississauga.
The series is hosted by
the delightful Connie Smith
of the station's Newsroom
11. We first met Miss Smith
in the 70s when we were
both working out of
C.K.V.R. She was a pretty
Young girl then; now she is
a beautiful young woman
and an excellent hostess.
Jill Richardson of Friday
Street Productions sends
along word of their in-
teresting and entertaining
new show set to air a week
tonight on the Family
Channel.
It's called "Take Off'
and Jill tells us that it is
shot using a "chromavi-
sion" technique permitting
live action to interact with
artwork. props and anima-
tion. We suspect it's
similar to the technique
that the Disney studios us-
ed some years ago for the
first time in Saludos
Amigos.
There's more than just
Bluma Appel shows. The

With the recession eas-
ing,budding entrepreneurs
may be looking for good ad-
vice. Centennial offers a
number of small business
courses, including timely
ones on importing and in-
ternationaltrade.
On the lighter side,
there's a new wine ap-
preciation course which
has students tasting six to
eight different vinos every
class!
People who have ever
been curious about shod -

it for themselves in the in-
temational radio listening

hobby.

then off to the place where
rhythmn is created. The
story of the first drum is
told and one of the continu-
ing character gives some
creative help to the original
Mister B. Beethoven.
Another character visits
with Mick Jaguar while a
Major Flapps marches
himself into a frenzy.
There's a great deal of
fun here but, more than
that, it's informative fun.
Fortunately, too, young
viewers are not likely to
see in the title 'Take Off'
anything pore than what it
is, a description of the
adventures into which the
viewer takes off. Parents,
however, will undoubtedly
think of the McKenzie
Brothers and their "Take
off, eh."
Good luck to it and our
thanks to Jill Richardson
for alerting us to it.
COMMENT:
Though it will never be
proven let alone admitted,
there can be little doubt
among thinking people that
the recent coup and
countercoup in the U.S.S.R.
was a well orchestrated
ploy by Messrs Gorbachev
andior Yeltsin.
Machiavellian is too kind a
word to describe it.
Let us fervently hope
that we shall never find
ourselves uttering the
words that appeared in
George Orwell's 1984..."We
didn't ought to 'ave trusted
the bastards!„
FAST EXIT:
We understand there has
been yet another Elvis
sighting. He was seen plac-
ing flowers on the grave of
Rudolph Valentino. , , ,

Terry Fox
Run
Sun. Sept. 15th marks the
11th Annual Terry Fox Run
for Cancer Research. An
anticipated 150,000 people
will participate at Run
sites across Ontario to
raise funds for innovative
projects seeking cures for
all cancers.
People of all ages can
run, walk, bike or
rollerblade any of the ten
kilometre courses set up at
500 sites around the pro-
vince. Pledge sheets are
available at Kwik Kopy
Printing, Pharma Plus,
LOBO, Scotiabank and
K -Mart locations across
Ontario, as well as on all
domestic Air Canada
flights. If someone is
unable to participate in the
Runt they can sponsor a
participant or simply use a
pledge sheet to send in a
donation.
Funds raised by The
Terry Fox Run are ad-
ministered by the :National
Cancer Institute of Canada
and are allocated to
specific innovative cancer
research projects. In
Canada these projects have
benefitted from over $90
million raised by The
Marathon of Hope and The
Terry Four Run.

Battling the OAS
clawback surtax
by Ted Snider
['he clawback on Old Age Security
1 OAS) is now entering its third year. As
another new tax, the OAS claw -hack may
be the straw that breaks the back of many retired Canadians.
And what's of great concern to us, is that there are many
people who do not know that there are ways to reduce or
eliminate this new surtax. But it requires some thoughtful
planning to avoid being clawed.
The OAS clawback hasbeen introduced gradually over the
past three years. For 1989, the surtax calculations had you
take 1.5%r of net income in excess of $50,000. You were then
taxed on 1 /3rd of this amount up to the total of OAS received.
For 1990, the 15% was calculated on amounts over $50.850
and you were taxed on two-thirds of this amount. For 1991.
the 15f7. will be calculated on income over approximately
$51.000. and you must pay back I W% of this amount.
So if your income is over 550.000 how can you avoid
giving back some or all of your OAS? The answers lie in
deferring as much income as possible to future tax years. by
delaying income from RRSPs as long as possible, by looking
for income splitting opportunities and by changing the
nature of some of the fully taxable interest income to growth
oriented investments.

and ours. has been realm
ed.
Terry had a dream that
one day there would be a
cure for cancer. He said:
` I just wish people would
realize that anything is
possible if you try. dreams
are made if people try.
Terry Fox inspired many
during the summer of 1980
and still does today. His
Marathon of Hope is a svm-
bol to all Canaciians that
one man's dream can be
achieved through convic-
tion, determination and the
participation of millions.

Rick Rogers, an In-

teacher at Ellesmere Stat -
ton Public School, Scar-
borough, was honoured on
Aug. 15th at a special lun-
cheon hosted by the On-
tario Public School
Teachers' Federation
(OPSTF).
In a province -wide com-
petition sponsored by the
organization's provincial
Awards Committee,
Rogers was named
"Teacher of the Year".
The award took the form of
a $1,000 cheque, which the
winner must use to attend a
professional development
event of his choice.
".Rick has demonstrated
concern for individual
students and an ability to
impire learning," Bill Mar-
tin, president of OPSTF,
told 500 luncheon guests.
"He works cooperatively
with fellow professionals
and devotes time and
energy to activities which
result in greater oppor-
tunities for children. He
works effectively with the
community and keeps
abreast of current educa-
tional theories and prac-
tices...

this prestigious provincial
award, his Scarborough
colleagues pointed out that
his sense of humour,
knowledge and profes-
sional integrity have won
Rogers the respect of com-
munity leaders.
"Rick puts students at
the centre of the educa-
tional universe. He firmly
believes that each student
must remain free to strive
and grow within a positive,
caring environment, and
that each must experience
the development of a
healthy self-esteem. It is
our belief that Rick,
because of his underlying
philosophy, and the
tremendous amount of ef-
fort and commitment he
puts into his work, is the
ideal candidate for
OPSTF's Teacher of the
Year Award," they said.

Catholics Give Generously To ShareLife
In a year that has
challenged most non-profit
organizations to meet even
their previous year's
results, year-end figures
from ShareLife reveal that
the Catholic community of
the Archdiocese of Toronto
has shown extraordinary
generosity, surpassing last
year's donations by more
than $200,000.
Most of the success in
collecting the $9,687 million
raised this year is at-
tributable to the parish
campaign, which benefits
from the efforts of
thousands of volunteers.
"These are dedicated
ShareLife volunteers,"
commented Richard

of ShareLife. "Instead of

Club Med's Intensive
English Riding Program
In 1990, a total of 585
G.M.s participated in Club
Med's Intensive Riding
Program, representing an
increase of 43% over 1989.
Club Med currently offers
.horseback riding instruc-
tion in 15 villages located
around the world, with a
total of 320 horses.
But, the club's dream
was to develop a special In-
tensive English Riding
Program expressly for
North Americans which
would utilize the best
French and American
teaching techniques.
Thus, in November 1968 a
special Intensive English
Biding Program debuted at
Sonora Bay (Mexico),
Playa Blanca (Mexico),
and St. Lucia (Caribbean) .
The St. Lucia property also
offers a Children's Inten-
sive Riding program for
kids 8-11.
Taught by a team of cer-
tified instructors, Intensive
English Riding classes are
open to all levels of riders.
Each class is limited to
seven students in order to
provide personalized in-
struction and ensure op-
timum learning and every
student is assigned a borse
for the we to care for.
There are 2 1/2 bours of
ring instruction daily, as
well as hands-on ex-
perience and video
teaching in grooming, tack-
ing, preparation of a horse
for sbow and the anatomy
of horses. Riding instruc-
tion, depending on the level
of expertise, includes
dressage and jumping. The
intensive classes are fre-
quently videotaped and
students take home their
personal video.
All other riding activities
within the village are open
to participants in the Inten-
sive Program without
charge. English -style
helmets, boots, saddles and
western gear are also pro-
vided free.
The cost for the week-
long Intensive English
Riding Program is $330 per
person. Less dedicated
riders can join daily trail
rides or a beginning class
in the ring, for approx-
imately $22-$24 per hour.
Curriculum for Intensive
English Riding Program:
BEGINNERS:
The weekly program
features lessons in both
riding and theory. Points
covered include: ap-
proaching a hose in the

tion to posting, sitting trot,
direct rein, cantering and
daily grooming techniques.
INTERIMEDIATE:
Maximum time is spent
on perfecting basic riding
skills: walk trot, canter;

amined.

Expansion Underway at
SW Florida Regional Air -
Port
The Lee County Port
Authority has begun con-
struction for the first phase
of Southwest Florida
Regional Airport's five-
year capital improvements
plan.
The construction cost of
the first phase of the expan-
sion is estimated at $55
million and is expected to
be complete in three years.
The plan includes:
modifications to the ex-
isting terminal; construc-
tion of a second terminal,
including a 12 -gate con-
course with ticketing and
baggage claim facilities;
the addition of a 1,000 space
long-term and employee
parking lot; and an in-
crease in all parking areas
to total 3,700 spaces.
Burns & McDonnell, a

During 1989, 1.6 million
passengers boarded flights
departing from the 7 -year
old airport, which now has
a total of 14 gates on two
concourses. The total
number of passengers us-
ing RSW during 1989 topped
3.2 million, while the air-
port's original master plan
projected that the 3 million
passenger mark would not
be reached until 1995.
The cost of the expansion
will be funded by Federal
Aviation Administration
grants generated through
airline tickets taxes, avia-
tion fuel taxes collected by
the state, and bond issues
to be repaid through the
airport's operating
revenues. No Lee County

Face To Face With Switzerland
How do others
see us?
The Swiss people: We live in a small
country in the heart of Europe. The resi-
dent population in 1989 was 6.7 million,
of which 3.4 million were women and
1.06 were foreigners. There are approxi-
mately 403,000 Swiss living abroad.
How do others see us? Are we known
only for the Alps, Swiss cheese and
chocolate? For our proverbially precise
Swiss watches and machinery, or for
the banks that attract capital from all over
the world?
Fondue and folklore: Milk, cheese and
chocolate are products of our traditional
alpine milk industry. Some 800,000 cows
produce 3.8 million tons of milk, 39 % of
which goes into cheese production.
82,000 tons of Emmentaler, Gruyere
and Sbrinz were produced in 1989, 60 %
there of for export.
Chocolate: if, 19 3 :
exported approximately 31,000 tons of
chocolate for 246 million Sfr., but had to
import 150 million Sfr. worth of cocoa
butter for its manufacture. The annual
Swiss per capita consumption of choco-
late (11 kg, incl. sales to tourists) is the
highest in the world
Tourism - income for mountain
regions: Farmers in the Alps can survive
only thanks to goverrunent subsidies and
tourism. In 1987 approximately 118 mil-
lion people entered Switzerland and
74.7 million hotel nights were registered.
Tourism accounts for approximately 8 %
of our total income. One out of eight
members of the workforce is employed
in this sector, one out of two works in the
service sector
Jobs 1989: 3 6 million working people,
broken down as follows: agriculture and
forestry 5.8 %; industry, skilled trades,
construction 34.4 %; service industry
59.9 %. So Switzerland has more than
banks and chocolate, it also has insur-
ance companies, transport firms, chem-
ical plants, a food industry, construction
companies, and a manufacturing industry
specializing in diverse high-quality prod-
ucts. There are some 800,000 foreigners
working in Switzerland. With its
42.3 -hour working week, Switzerland
ranks third, behind Japan and the USA.
The unemployment rate in 1989
was 0.6 %.
Business structure: 98 % of the alto-
gether 350,000 businesses in Swit-
zerland employ fewer than 50 people.
Around one-third are one-man or
one -woman enterprises.
pansion plan include:
pedestrian bridges spann-
ing surface traffic lanes to
link the terminal and park-
ing lots; moving walkways
to connect all concourses;
an expansion of the
Federal Inspection Station
to provide U.S. Customs'
Services to 400 interna-
tional passengers per hour
versus the current capacity
of 150 passengers per hour;
the acquisition of approx-
imately 12,000 acres of sur-
rounding land for future
development and en-
vironmental protection;
and the extension of the
8,400 foot runway to 12,000
feet to handle international
traffic.
Construction will begin
before the end of the month
on one previously approved
project - new taxiways and
aircraft parking areas for
an air cargo facility, which
will include a seven -gate
air cargo terminal.

Alley dears Completion
Approximately 50 miles

How do we live
today?
Family and marriage: As in other in-
dustrialized countries, only a husband,
wife and one or two children live under
the same roof. As in other industrialized
countries, the divorce rate has risen: one
couple out of three gets divorced.
Age structure: 0-19 years 24 %,
20-64 years 61%, 65 years and over
15 %. Life expectancy for women is
80.3 years, for men 73.6 years. We con-
tinue to be active beyond the retirement
age of 62-65. This makes a secure old
age with an adequate old -age pension all
the more important.
Social Security (AHV): This general
national insurance has been in force since
1948 and is considered one of the great
social achievements of our century. It is
financed by contributions from employ-
ers, employees, the Federal Government
and the cantons. Contributions to supple-
mentary pension schemes to improve
old -age benefits have been compulsory
since 1985
Two out of three live in towns: Since
the end of the 19th century there has
been a steady migration from the country
especially from mountain valleys, to the
towns and from there to the suburbs and
peripheral areas. In the flat regions of
Switzerland, housing, industry and farm-
ing compete for space
German/ French/ Italian/ Rhaeto-
Romansh are the official national lan-
guages of Switzerland. German is spoken
by 65 %, French by 18 %, Italian by 10 %,
Rhaeto-Romansh by 1 % and other lan-
guages by 6 %. The cultural bond every
linguistic region (especially the French
and the Italian) feels toward the neigh-
boring country that speaks its language is
complemented by access to that coun-
try's media.
Religions: Roman Catholic 48
Protestant 44 %, other 8 %.
Is there a Swiss culture? The cul:i-
vation of political consensus, respect for
minorities, and the political equilibrium
federalism is intended to ensure shape
Swiss culture as a whole Local culture
and language are determined by the divi-
sions of the landscape In every valley
people speak a different dialect or even
language, celebrate different festivals and
cook different foods. Our cities are
international in character. The costs of
culture and sports are borne largely by
municipalities, cantons and private foun-
dations. There are, for example, some
600 museums scattered throughout the
country. The Federal Office of Culture and
the PRO HELVETIA are active on the
federal level and support artists in all
fields. Particular emphasis is placed on
the Swiss film industry, the culture and
languages of minorities, cultural exchange
with other countries, and preserving art
monuments.
