September 11, 1991 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Strikes Should Be Outlawed by Bob Watson The latest round of strikes by the federal civil servants brings the strike situation to a ridiculous point in the economic running of this Canada of ours. Surely no one has anything to gain by a strike - the picketers lose pay - the corporation loses income and the public lases the most in many directions. We believe the time has come to have civil servants and any other public bodies with a formula for an arbitration decision. If the result of that derision doesn't satisfy some members of that union, then we suggest that they resign and get another job. The point is that the Canadian public should not be held hostage while a very simple decision is made between management and the workers. We are in a recession with thousands of citizens who operate small businesses lasing their whole way of life and the country losing its position in the world of economics. Very soon no one will want Canadian products because our costs are too high. This will affect all of us. Our governments are not helping either. The federal government is still letting the Bank of Canada use the dollar value to fight inflation, which is the least of our problems at this time. Our Canadian dollar right now should be around 75 cents and the people rushing across the border to buy goods would cease and the rush would be reversed! We need common sense at all levels of government and business - and unions - to restore our great country to its past greatness. Can't we start right now? On Crime Statistics The current controversy raging over the sensitive issue of gathering and publishing crime statistics based on race ethnic origin and country of origin has a rdeashed yet another storm of accusations of racism against the police and the proponents of this proposal from many of the usual, expected sources. That is not to say there is not gernune hurt and concern over the release of certain statistics col- lected by an officer last month. but. it may be misplaced_ What is more important is whether the opposition's criticism is fair and informed or is it simply pandering to minority groups' fear of latent racism? What is relevant and irrelevant here? What shouted be most relevant - and we must refocus the direction of this debate quickly before it goes much further - is in clearly understanding the primary objective of any policing agency. Simply put. it is law en>forcerrrmt within carefully prescribed legal bounds. A policing agency's fun- damental raison d'etre is to legally prevent, detect and in- vestigate crime. Other considerations should and must re- main secondary if clarity of purpose is to be crnaiefained. This includes the fashionable and near -hysterical hypersen- sitivity to minority groups. If in the course of legally discharging its duties as sen- sitively as possible, a police agency inadvertently offends a particular interest group, that can be easily rectified im- mediately with an explanation and an apology, if war- ranted. The situation need not escalate out of proportion. U. however, a mionority group chooses to be offended or remains offended when neither the words nor deeds of the police intended to be offensive or when released informa- tion is not inaccurate, them. as regrettable as it may be. there is nothing more the police should be expected to do. Those who are elected to, appointed to. or who simply assume leadership positions would be well-advised to remember a police agency's primary function in society. They should also stop speaking in euphemisms and overlooking unpleasant truths and talk plainly. Hypersensitivity and other secondary considerations should not interfere with or override the first priority of policing - legally enforcing law and order with all available resources, including statistics if necessary!

Cowan Chairman of the Board Director of Education their horror. The 35 year residents of the street, applied in Nov. 1990 to have their lot severed. M.T.R.C.A. wrote to them, stating there was a condition they would have to consent to in order to get permission to sever the lot. "I was told the condition of having my land severance application ac- cepted, was dependent on me (Ron Pratt) selling or giving MT.R.C.A. the back ravine portion of my pro- perty the City of Scar- andromy riparian water rights." Many of the residents have the rights to 50 feet of the Rouge River as it ex- tends from their property boundary. This aspect of water rights and retaining the ravine lands in private ownership is of paramount importance to these homeowners. "On many occasions," claims Pratt, "we have caught young people in the ravine cutting down live trees to make a bonfire, drinking and littering the shore, and harassing the wild life. We need to pro- tect the ravine and its wild- life and maintain our security and privacy." Nearby residents launch- ed into a letter -writing campaign to council members citing, the ravine lands that were now in public stewardship, "are an absolute disaster," as one resident put it. Another writes, "the lands in public ownership are a disgrace .. garbage is strewn about and the ero- sion of trees are left, resulting in unrepairable damage to the lands, and jeopardizing the stability of the bank, a supposed major concern to M. T. R. C. A. " Many residents are ques- tioning the financial ability MT.R.C.A. has to main- tain these lands if they become public property, due to their questionable financial status. Nevertheless. Scar- borough councillors would like to acquire these pro- perties and are putting for- ward a motion that will allow this to happen if, and when, a homeowner ap- plies to the city to have their property severed. In the meantime the restriction has been lifted on the Pratt's property as of last Monday. The 30 metre set -back motion comes before Scar- borough Council at its next meeting on Mon. Sept. 16.

September 11, 1991 Bill Watt's Worlds ON STAGE: Title notwithstanding, "Sleuth" by Anthony Shaf- fer, currently playing at the Bayview Playhouse is not a hoodumit. It is a two character work that puts baser human emotions on display and manages to evoke laughter while so do- ing. Andrew Wyke is a writer of detective fiction. He in- vites his wife's lover, Milo Tindle for a contretemps. He humiliates him. Tindle gets his revenge but at great cost. No more will be said here of the narrative. Those who have seen "Sleuth„ before (it's been rerun umpteen times), will know what we mean. Those who have not, shall not have their surprise and enjoyment of this well crafted play diminished by this writer. We are compelled though, to comment upon the performers and their performances. Making due allowance for opening Tright difficulties one can- not find fault. As Wyke, Robert Russell is properly vain, shallow and, in a manner supposed- ly unrealized even by himself, quite sadistic. His be excused even by em- Lpaathy with a cuckold. Mr. Tlrexr's voice is a fine in- strument and yet is nicely muted. When he speaks, one hears the words of the playwright, not the voice of the actor. When Gareth Hunt speaks, his is the voice of the hoi polloi pulling itself up to a supposed better level. Yet withal, there is a fundamental decency in the man and even a sort of diminished nobility. The direction of Dee Hart is .. adequate. That's not intended to be slighting. It's simply a recognition of the fact that with two such fire actors as Gareth Hunt and Robert Russell, little direction is needed. "Sleuth" is not a great work nor so intended but you might well think of it as such after seeing this pro- duction. Enjoy.

He plays his peel well but is handicapped by the deliberate physical resemblance to Kaufman. The latter was a most ar- ticulate and, in his own way, charming man. Fink is simply well named. John Goodman is the next door rooemie and away from Roseanne he is a good actor. Though playing a virtual stereotype, he is never guilty of burlesque. Far and away the three best performances, however, in a film filled with good acting are those of Michael Lerner, John Mahoney and Tony Shalharb. The fust is a studio head embodying all the best and or worst of Lovas B. Mayer, Samuel Goldwyn and Jack Warner. Delicious performance. John Mahoney portrays a drunken writer with a more than passing similarity to William Faulkner. He is courtly, always articulate and nearly always drunk. Tragi - Tony Shalboub well plays a harried producer of se- cond rate films, sort of an Edward Dmytryk before the latter was allowed to become respectable, driv- ing, dynamic and totally in- hibited by the studio head's lack of appreciation for the finer things. Those three perfor- mances alone would com- mand audience custom in any film other than Barton Fink. Possibly we've now pi- qued reader curiosity enough to invite the aforementioned custom. We hope, however, that suf- ficient warning has been laid down to possible viewers that Barton Fink is a crushing waste of time and talent. Pity. SCREEN SCENE SEEN: Opening today as part of the Festival of Festivals is the Warner Brothers library and Resource Cen- tre at the Canadian Centre for Advance Film Studies. It includes over 10,000 looks, 4,000 film journals and great amounts of wine -making, enjoy the mouth-watering bake sale and, for the more seriously inclined, find out how to get started as a beekeeper. The Kertright Centre for Conservation's "Honey Festival", on the weekend of Sept. 14 to 15, features the products of a variety of honey producers and a display of the latest memorabilia. The library I resource centre will be open to residents and staff of the centre, members of the film industry, film resear- chers and the public. Good stuff. IN PRINT: Archaos is not a phoneticism for an R. K.O. film retrospective. It's the name of what is described as a Post Apocalytic Cir- cus. Archaos opens next Tuesday under the circus ted at Exhibition Stadium. The proof will be in the viewing, of course, but our advance word is that Ar - chaos is like something never before experienced in North America. Oh, there are the usual circus acts but they are to the ac- companiment of wild music, we think, roaring machinery and general, well .. chaos. Archaos is also, we believe, a good segut into the following book reviews. The anticipated post nuclear world holocaust - the Apocalypse -has become almost a staple of science fiction. Regret- tably and all too often, such books are little more than fair millers and almost for- muhuc. A Gift Upon The Shore by M_ K. Wren (Ballantine) is a fine and much ap- preciated exception. The time is set in a frighteningly near future. Famine and pestilence are pandemic and inevitably nuclear war begins throughout the world. Firestorms and the kill- ing cold of nuclear winter are unleashed. Earth- quakes and tidal waves ravage the west coast of America and lassa fever afflicts most of the few sur- vivors. Among the survivors are two women who manage to find a haven away from the horrors of what is Owugbt to be a dying world. Together they embark upon a program of preserv- ing the great written works of civilization on the off chance that perhaps there will come a time in a dis- tant future when they will be discovered and perhaps serve as a spur to revival or as record at least of that to which mankind should properly aspire. We give away little of the plot by revealing that they do encounter other sur- vivors and much action en- sues. The principal thrust of the narrative, however, is the preservation of the writings, something which is close to the heart of all who harbour hope, however, little and grudg- ir 'for marmkind. We quote from the cover notes and agree that A Gift Upon The Shore is an im- beekeeping equipment by the Toronto District Beekeepers Association. To get to the Kortright Centre, follow the signs: Take Highway 400 to Major Mackenzie Drive (at Canada's Wonderland), go west three kilometr-es to Pine Valley Drive, then south one kilometre. For more information, call (416) 661.6600. portant, timely work of contemporary fiction and a reading experience of un- forgettable power and beauty. For a description and ex- planation of what nuclear winter is/ will be, we com- mend A Path Where No Man Thought by Carl Sagan and Richard Turco (Random House). If there is fault to be found with this well podded volume, it lies with the con- tinuing oo-timing and unnecessary verbosity of Carl Sagan. What he says, is said well but could have been stated in half of his verbiage. Readers will find themselves tempted to scan rather than read thoroughly. Surrender to the temptation! For us, the most signifi- cant things to emerge from the book is a message of hope of a sort. it is opined/stated that mankind is capable of destroying itself (we think it will) but that it cannot destroy the earth. Who then, will be the in- heritors of the earth? That's not suggested here but we shouldn't be surpris- ed to discover that Dr. Sagan is already working an it. How sad to read of the passing of Tom Tryon: His Wings Of The Morning (still on our review shelf) was intended to be the start of a series of historical novels called Kindom Came. The second volume, By The Rivers of Babylon is scheduled for publication in the Spring of 1992 Mr. Tryone is gone but his books will long be with us. Rest well, warrior. BRIGHT NOTES: Don't forget the opening of Countess Maritza this Friday at the Bluma Appel Theatre. Also coming up is the Canadian Opera Company's production of La Traviata. Festivities get under way with a open- ing night reception in The O'Keefe Centre prior to the opening curtain and a gala ball at the conclusion of the performance. Black tie is optional but really, would anyone want to dress any other way? Personally, we think it should be white tie. Call 363-6671 for more details. FAST EXIT: So Boobie Rae has said there will be no govern- ment overnment run automobile in- surance in Ontario (conve- niently side stepping the fact that it is so closely regulated already that it might as well be an arm of the government anyway). We should all remember these words of Disraeli . . Finality is not the language of politics. l - News From Around Malvern LESTER B. PEARSON C.I.

September 11, 1991 Business Community News Our Standard Based On Quality "Canadians' standard of living will increasingly de- pend on the ability of business to build quality in- to everything it does," says John E. Cleghorn, Presi- dent & Chief Operating Of- ficer of Royal Bank. Cleghorn is also chair- man of 1991 Quality Month in Canada, an annual Oc- tober campaign first laun- ched in 1986 to stimulate, strengthen and support Canada's commitment to quality in business. It's a matter of survival." says Cleghorn. "Since 1985, Canada's share of world trade has declined from 5.0 percent to 3.8 percent - the steepest decline of the G-7 nations. This trend must be revers- ed or our standard of living will decline." Cleghorn states that Roval Bank accepted spon- sorship of Quality Month because it draws attention to the imperatives of quali- ty improvement for the success of Canadian business and the prosperity of the country. The Cana- dian initiative runs concur- rently with a campaign in the United States. This year's theme is "World - Class Quality". Cleghorn will travel across the country during October. urging Canadian business to adopt quality programs. He explains, The World -Class Quality theme underlines the fact that Canadian business to- day is facing competition from beyond our borders. whether their clients are at hone or abroad. The abili- ty of Canadian companies to provide high quality goods and services will en- sure continued success in the global marketplace. Our national goal must be to make quality and Canada synonymous." In his role as chairman of the Canadian initiative, Cleghom joins the heads of IBM, BMW AG, Ricoh Co. Ltd., J.C.

As part of the Quality Month events, Industry, Science & Technology Canada will announce the Canada Awards for Business Ex- cellence in Ottawa on Oct. 30. Established in 1984, the program honours outstan- ding business achievers in the categories of En- trepreneurship, Environ- ment, Industrial Design, Innovation, Invention, Marketing, Quality and Small Business. Canada's first national Quality award was in- troduced in 1989, and recognizes an organization for achieving, throughout their organization, a com- mitment to continuous quality improvement and for demonstrating outstan- ding results in terms of pro- duct quality and customer satisfaction. Quality Month activities also include a series of con- ferences across Canada, and the release of a 15 -minute video sponsored by Royal Bank, which features Canadian businesses that have suc- cessfully implemented quality programs. The video will be available through Royal Bank In- dependent Business and Corporate centres beginn- ing late September.

'Mie radials were two and one-half year-old Yokohama's," Mason said after the races. "It goes to show you that for a dif- ference of one second a lap, the expense of running slicks isn't worth it .. For- mula 1200 is the most economical way for aspir- ing drivers to enter road racing."

When the crowds of sum- mer have gone, the pro- vince remains a haven for latecoming tourists who want to amble unhurriedly, quietly, through a coun- tryside amazingly ablaze with foliage of spectacular colours and along highways and byways free of the hustle and bustle of the peak tourist season. But while it specializes in a panorama of forests and streams, an unpolluted at- mosphere of crisp, fresh air, and a hospitality of which its people are proud, it offers as well a varied menu of events and attrac- tions calculated to satisfy a wide gamut of tastes. Autumnm is harvest time - and harvest festival time - and this year, Nova Scotia features more than a dozen fairs, festivals, ex- hibitioon and festivals cen- tred around the bounty of the harvest. There are three agricultural exhibitions and six community fairs slated for September in Nova Scotia, when farm communities show off their finest livestock, produce, crafts and 4-H displays and welcome visitors to enjoy old-fashioned hospitality, tasty home cooking and a variety of stage shows and midway amusements. The best known of these fairs is the Hants County Exhibition held in Windsor, Sept. 10-15. It's the oldest agricultural exhibition in North America, first stag- ed in 17W and with royal approval uninterrupted since 1515. There are two major in- ternational events of significance in Nova Scotia in September - the Moosehead Grand Prix Auto Race in Halifax. Sept. 13-15, and the Shearwater International Air Show at Canadian Forces Base, Shearwater outside of Dartmouth, Sept. 21 and 22. The auto race features the best Grand Prix drivers and cars from around the world racing for the checkered flag through the downtown streets of the capital city, while the In- ternational Air Show br- ings together the top military and civilian fliers in precision and stunt fly- ing. There are also static displays of aircraft hard- ware, safety and rescue equipment and aviation heritage. On the cultural side, welll-known Canadian recording artist Rita Mac - Niel will tour her home pro- vine in September and Oc- tober with concerts in Halifax, Sept. 21; New Glasgow, Sept. 27; WolfvWe, Oct. 2; Digby, Oct. 3; and Sydney, Oct. 5.

The Atlantic Winter Fair is also a popular October event, held at Halifax Ex- hibition Park, Oct. 4-6 with large midway attractions, main stage entertainment, livestock and hose show, food displays, arts and homecrafts. The Windsor Pumpkin Festival, Oct. 4 in the An- napolis Valley town brings together the biggest pum- pkins in the province for a ggrrand pumpkin weigh -off. There is much pomp and fanfare as each pumpkin is carefully measured and weighed and a conference call to organizers of similar fest'.als in competing towns from across North America gives the event an international flavour. Not far from Windsor, Ross Farm Museum closes its summer season with a 1Larvest Festival Sale, Oct. 14th. The heritage farm of- fers preserves, jams. jellies, crafts and baked goods. These and other fall festivals combine with beautiful autumn foliage and off season rates to pre- sent a tempting package for late season travellers. It's another side of Nova Scotia that should not be missed. Wed.

User Fees Increased For National Parks & Canals The Canadian Parks Ser- vice has announced a pro- posed genawal user -fee in- crease of approximately 10 per cent for 1992. The pro- posed increase will apply to fees such as perk entrance, camping, mooring and canal lockage. User -fees defray the cost to the federal government of providing services and facilities which benefit visitors to the national parks and canals. The in- creases are necessary due to the rising costs of operating visitor services and facilities. The fees were last increased in 1990. Many services will car tine to be provided free of charge, including inter- pretive programs, visitor centres, hiking trails, beach areas and picnic facilities. Typical user -fee in- creases including GST are: park entrance (where charged) ... $4.25 to $5; cam- ping (Bruce Peninsula Na- tional Park)...$12.25 to $13.50; mooring ( vessel length 5.5 - 8m) ...$9.50 to $10; canal lockage (vessel length 5.5 - 8m)...$11.75 to $13.

You know, it's funny how dif- ferent things will scare different people, but there's one thing that you can count on to scare the daylights out of all parents. This thing will turn their hair white and cause them to run scream- ing from the room. The "thing" is your teenage son walking into the room with a big smile saying, "Dad, guess what! I'm going to get my driver's licence on the day I tum 16, and then buy a car!" Well, I could see it was time for me to dust off my Driver's Licence Speech Number One, which had been prepared years ago for such a moment as this. I started with the wretched facts about insurance, to sort of stun him, and by the time I'd moved an to the cost of gas and mainte- nance, I had achieved my aim and his eyes had that glazed look that teenagers get when they're being bored out of their minds by old fogeys like me. What I told him was that buy- ing a car was like looking at a beautiful house that you wanted to buy. It looked great on the outside, but you had to think about how much time and money it would cost to maintain it properly. I think poor Kyle's eyes really started to glaze when I got into the house maintenance thing. Like it or not, you've got to think about winter coming. If you've got oil heating, youll be thinking about getting your sys- tem checked out about this time of year. If you heat with gas, you'd have your system checked every two years. Fall is also the time to check out your furnace blower. If it's a belt -driven model, check the belt between the motor and fan for worn spots. Check the belt tension, too; it should "give" about 2 an (39"). If you've got a heat pump, now's the tune for its checkup, too.
