A Missing Matter In
The Recycling Program
by Bob Watson
Metro Toronto with the cooperation of the local
municipalities has gone a long way to get the maximum
recycling for owners and renters of residential properties.
However, authorities have neglected to consider the
value of recycling for commercial and industrial proper-
ties. For example. fine or bond paper used to be accepted
by Metro for recycling but last year cancelled this because
fine papers were not coming in great quantities in the Blue
Box Program.
Naturally• most of the fine paper eligible for recycling is
in commercial or industrial properties so why not a pro-
gram to get this paper into a recycling program?
Since Metro took over newspaper recycling it has col-
lected a lot of money from the recycling industry, and the
same applies to tin cans, bottles etc.
As commercial and industrial properties pay more pro-
perty taxes than residential ones and get no votes at elec-
tions if they are incorporated, it would seem appropriate
that these properties be included in the Metro recycling
program. Currently if an industrial firm recycles its waste
fine paper. it must pay a recycling company to take the
waste unlike a residential property.
We suggest that Metro and local municipalities treat
commercial and industrial properties with the same in-
terest as their residential properties and more recycling
would be accomplished and equality would exist in the pro-
perty tax area.
Removal Of Parents' Rights
Education Minister Tony Silipo amKnced on Dec. lg that
he would be deleting from Bill 125 (An Art to Amend the
Educ-tiatt Act) the Government's proposed removal of Sec-
tion 50 from the Act. Section 50 currently gives parents and
guardians the right to choose the kind of religious instruc-
tion their children shall receive in public schools.
In a letter dated Dec. 18. Keith Baird, Policy Assistant to
Education Minister Sthpo. informed the Coalition for
Religious Freedom in Education (CFRE) that "the
Minister will be removing the amendments to Section 50
from Bill 125_ The issue will be dealt with, if necessary, in
future legilslabon.
The Mir ester has told the media and MPP% that 'Vw issue
hof parental rights) is a sensitive one which has been the
subject of much confusion." In light of the importance of
the issue. "hie feels it requires clarification and discussion
with interested stakeholders" such as the Coalition and the
Ontario Multi -faith Group for Equity in Education.
The coalition applauds the minister's willingness to con-
sider an amendment to Section 50. rather than its removal.
The . eceat letter writing campaign and advocacy work at
Queen's Part, coordinated by the CRFE, paves that com-
munal efforts by concerned citizens can have good results.
The coalition will continue. however. its provincawtde
campaign to persuade all MPPs and cabinet minsters to
entrench the recognition of parental rights and respon-
sibilities in the Education :Leet. Politicians and policy
makers will be asked to support the following arnendmerit
to Section 50 ( 1 1:
Subject to the regulations a pupil shall be allowed to
receive such education as his parent or guardian desires, or
where the pupil is an adult. as he desires, in harmony with
the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. 1 amend -
merits highlighted ).
The coalition will also continue to advocate the extension
of educational justice to all faith and value commutnities in
Ontario. Public policies must provide access to public fun-
ding for alternative schools and religious education pro-
grams, where parents and students want it and when
numbers warrant.
Much more work creeds to be done in order to achieve the
full recognition of parental rights and the public funding of
legitimate educational options the coalition believes. Only
in this way will the educational diversity of our pluralistic
society be truly respected.
The Coalition for Religious Freedom in Education was
established in 1989 to promote justice, equality and fairness
in the treatment of the diverse religions views and com-
munities represented in Ontario. The coalition is comprised
of a variety of Christian denominations, local churches,
educational institutions, parents and citizens groups in-
terested in educational issues.

Importance Of New -Ride Safe" Snowmobile
Campaign
The 1991-92 snowmobile season had barely begun when
two snowmobilers were killed in separate accidents on Rab-
bit Lake near Kenora Nov. 26 and on the Chapleau River
Dec. 2. Unless attitudes change. another 3o or more people
could die in the province from snowmobile -related ac-
cidents before the season is over.
The recently announced "Ride Safe. Ride Sober" cam-
paign to help reduce the number of snowmobile deaths and
injuries is catching on across the province. The Ontario
Ministry of Tourism and Recreation is working with
snowmobile manufacturers and the Ontario Federation of
Snowmobile Clubs to educate the public. This year's cam-
paign theme was chosen because alcohol is a factor in the
majority of snowmobile collisions.

Union Membership in Canada
Labour Canada has released figures showing that as of
January 1991, union membership in Canada totalled
4,068,423, an increase of 37,664 (1.0 percent) from a year
earlier. Unionized workers constituted 36.5 percent of all
non-agricultural paid workers in 1991, marginally higher
than the 36.2 percent rate recorded in 1990.
Union membership has gradually been rising, but since
1964 the number of non-agricultural paid workers has risen
at a faster rate; consequently, union membership as a
percentage of non-agricultural paid employment has
generally been declining. However, between 1990 and 1991,
union membership rose while non-agricultural paid
employment remained constant, and the proportion of
union membership to non-agricultural paid workers rose
from 36.2 percent to 36.5 percent.
Strategies For Cleaning Up Metro's Waters
Metro Toronto's polluted waterfront and watersheds was
the focus of a Canada -Ontario program, the Metro Toronto
and Region Remedial Action Plan (RAP). The Metro
Toronto and Region RAP Team, a team dedicated to the
restoration of water quality in the area, presented
..Strategies for Restoring Our Waters" on Dec. 17th.
another milestone as the RAP moves towards a final long-
term plan.
The Metro Toronto and Region RAP Strategies document
outlines the area's environmental problems, identifies
remedial goals and offers guidelines for choosing options to
reach those goals. The document is the result of ongoing
scientific and technical research by three levels of govern,
merit, and the work of the local Public Advisory Committee
which has broad representation from a wide variety of
public and private sectors.

$1.7 :Killion Set Aside For Consumer Groups
Federal Consumer and Corporate Affairs Minister Pierre
Blais has announced the renewal, for the 1992-93 fiscal year,
of the Grants and Contributions Program, under which $1.7
million is to be made available to assist consumer organiza-
tx ms across the country.
..The goal of the Grants and Contributions Program is to
strengthen the consumer's role in the marketplace. Fluids
are awarded to encourage non-profit organizations to widen
their field of activities by addressing important consumer
issues,.. declared Mr. Blais.
Priority is given to projects that address issues affecting
the greatest number of consumers. "This program makes it
possible for consumer organizations to enhance their abth-
ty to represent consumers' interests and achieve concrete
results. Furthermore, groups are urged to network and,
whenever possible, involve major marketplace players in
finding solutions," said the Minister.

Crime Prevention Tips
- Protect Your Vehicle
One of the most frequent crimes plaguing Metro Toronto
in recent months is thefts of vehicles, and thefts from
vehicles. Underground parking lots are especially
vulnerable, because perpetrators cannot be easily detected
by police or passers by. In 1991 thefts of vehicles increased
by 51.0% over 1990.
PREVENTION TIPS
Never leave your car with the engine running while you
go into a store or home, even though in the cold weather you
went the car to stay warm, and you'll only be gone for a
minute. This is an open invitation to a car thief, and there is
a By -Law prohibiting leaving your car running unattended.
Resist the temptation and lock and park your car properly.
If you park your vehicle on the street, park legally under
a street light if possible, or in a relatively well lit area, on a
well travelled route. Loot all doors, and take all property
out of the car. If this is impractical, lock your property in
the trunk. where it won't be visible.
Many victims lost Christmas presents left on the rear car
seats. Don't leave your ownership and insurance papers in
the glove box - these documents should be kept in your
wallet with your Driver's Ucence.
As a general rule, autos on the street are less frequent
targets than autos in undergrounds. Many car alarms are
available as well as locking devices for steering wheels.
You may caosider these options as well. Try to take as
many precautions as target.

New Potato Resists Deadly Virus
A University of Toronto researcher has developed a
potato plant resistant to the virus which wiped out crops in
Prince Edward island last year. The borders on potato seed
imports from the island were closed because of the potato
virus YN (PVYN) and about 20.000 tonnes of potatoes were
destroyed in an unsuccessful eradication program.
"'Ilse virus doesn't actually do much damage to the
potato crop but it can totally destroy tobacco. tomato and
pepper crops," said Mounir AbouHaidar, botany professor
at U of T. "Since the potato plant is a carrier of the vitas,
the ultimate solution is a transgenic cultivar."
A transgenic cultivar is a cultivated variety of a pial
which has undergone a genetic transformation, he said.
Cultivars resistant to PVYN include the Atlantic, Russett
Burbank and Shepody potatoes, developed in AbouHaidar's
laboratory.

aimed at students who
want to understand Rober-

The information sheets,

were developed to address
questions students may

the mission.
The remaining four:
"Fluid Shifts In

ON RECORD:
In Review: A problem
with catholicity of musical
taste is the difficulty in
staying au courant. Con-
sider Lorraine Scott -All
Talk (Cold Print).
When a personal review
copy of it was sent to us by
producer Al Kussin, we
thought we were going to
bear a solo vocal album.
After listening to it, we con-
clude that it's a dance
album as they are now call-
ed . . we think. To us it
sounds like disco.
None of the foregoing is
intended to be denigrating.
All Talk is a good album,
one of the most pleasurable
to us in a long time. But, we
simply don't know how to
label it and be certain of
our assessment.
Lorraine Scott is a fine
vocalist whom we recall
having noted in the cast of
Buddy. She does well here
with each and all of the
selections .. we think.
You see, Miss Scott ane
producer AI Kussin have
presented such good pro-
duction values that it's dif-
ficult to know just how good
the lady really is. She
and or he have unselfishly
given such good hooks to
the back up singers that
Miss Scott's voice simply
blends in. Oh, there are a
few solo riffs but not
enough, in our opinion, to
do full justice to the suppos-
ed star.
The compositions are all
originals and most of them
by the two principals.
There's a bit of a problem
here, too. Each song is so
good that after a while,
there appears to be a
certain sameness to them.
And now, we find ourself
in a bit of a critical cul-de-

anyone from listening to
and purchasing All Talk.
It's a bloody fine album

we'd be less than honest if

Scott deserves better.
What about an album of
her doing slow old violets

Musical Medieval Adventure Premiere
Contunuing her theme of
programming challenging
and imaginative new pro-
ductions at Young People's
Theatre, artistic director
Maja Ardal has announced
the world premiere of
Canadian author Robert
Priest's "Knights of the
Endless Day" a medieval
musical romp which will
play on YPT's 468 seat
mainstage theatre from
Wed. Jan. 15 to Feb. 9.
Audiences will be swept
into a fantasy world of
dragons and djinns, kings
and queens. movies and
manticores as the central
character, Ogo a com-
moner who dreams of
knighthood, faces the un-
precedented challenge of
delivering the baby
princess Mia from one end
of the kingdom of Ornador
to the other, facing terrible
perils on the way. But this
is a medieval play with a
difference -its central
thernes are peace and non-
violence and Ogo must
overcome the dangers he
faces, which include
dragons and ogres, without
using his sword or in any
way imperilling the life of
the young baby he has
sworn to protect.
It's the first play for
author Robert Priest, who
went to school and grew up
in Scarborough. His four
books include "The Mad
Hand" which won the 1999
Milton Acorn People's
Poetry Award and a
children's favourite "The
Short Hockey Career of
Amazing Janey". His
videos are performed on

ART SEEN:
The McMichael open the
year with an exhibition of
Cape Dorset Drawings and
Prints.
One dislikes emulating the
little boy of The Empernr's
New Clot htss but we are
constrained to remark that
we see little of value in the
works of the Imat ( or Inuk,
to use the proper term) .
It's conceded that they
might exhibit a certain raw
strength of primitivity but
they do not fail pleasurably
upon any of our senses ex-
cept perhaps that of touch,
in which case. one very ob-
viously prefers the works
of Barbara Hepworth or
.Maryon Kantaroff.
Still. who are we to say?
If Inuit art is enjoyed by
the reader, then this ex-
hibit is well worth custom.

never seen it and are "
eagerly anticipating the

BIRTHDAY BOY:
George Burns is 96 years
of age this Sunday. He has
been quoted as saying that
the secret of happiness and
longevity is to fall in love
with one's work.
The proof of his state-
ment will be in abundant
evidence this Monday when
the Family Channel
presents a special two hour
showing of five episodes
from the Burns and Allen
Show not seen previously.
We commend particular
attention to the first
episode with the late
Hobert Cummings in which
Gracie thinks that Cumm-
ings is in love with her and
tries fighting off his non-
existent romantic ad -
vanes.
Say goodnight Gracie.
It'll be few years yet before
George is able to join you in
that great vaudeville house
in the sky. Be patient.
IN PRINT:
The Fourth K. by Mario
Arm (Random Horne) is a
most compelling novel, one
that many will read in a
single sitting. We didn't
because there are nuances
on writing that we wished
to savour and so we took
our time with this 479 page
wort.
The time is the not too
distant future. the presi-
dent of the United States is
Francis Xavier Kennedy,
distant cousin of John and
Robert. He is the Fourth K.
and the significance of the
title is not clear until the
final few pages.
In Rome a terrorist
group has assassinated the
Pope. The same group has
captured the daughter of
the president. The ploy is
not for material gain but to
bring the United States to
its knees and lessen its im-
pact on world affairs.
How does the president
deal with the situation? Ob-
viously, we're not going to
disclose that. We will state,
however, that his handling
of it is a masterful observa-
tion on the part of the
author of what complete
power can do to a person.
Although a thriller, The
Fourth K. is also a fine
study of human emotions.
The book is not without
flaws. The author is guilty
of too much padding in the
development of the
characters. Indeed, there
are too many characters
but one shouldn't criticize
too severely a writer who is
being paid a handsome
word rate. If blame must
be assessed, let it be
against a too generous
editor.
'17rere are also a few
grammatical errors but
one suspects they are
deliberate and intended on-
ly to lend a timely ( dated? )
air to the narrative.
Finally, Mr. Puzo is at
too great pains to point out
the danger of absolute
power leading inevitably to
dictatorship. That of itself
need not necessarily be
brad. Abraham Lincoln was
a mono than just a de facto
dictator during the
American Civil War and, in
the main, served his coun-
try well. And, wasn't it
Barry Goldwater who
remarked that extremism
in defence of one's country
is excusable, or something
like that?
Polemiciaa as+de. The
Fourth IC is more than
simply an enjoyable read:
it is, we suggest, an impor-
tant social document.
After reading it, we sug-
gest you read Terrorist, a
more or less biography of a
high ranting Iraqu i ter-
rorist who has defected to
the West.
It is written by Steven
Emerson and Cristirn Del
Sesto and published by
Villard Boots. The authors
have done their job well in
describing just what it is
that motivates a terrorist.
Unfottuwtdy it offers lit-
tle or no suggestion of how
to deal with terrorists and
terrorism. Fact is, they
can't be dealt with andel, it
seems to us, shouldn't be.
Accept nothing except their
surrender and then,
slaughter them! Terrorists
respectterrorists. except
other Read Terrorist and see if
you don't find yourself
agreeing with us.
Enough, we're becoming
too acerbic. Allow us to
suggest a reading of
Fragile Edge by Maria Cof-
fee ( Fawcett ). It's an ac-
count of her search for
peace after her lover's
death -a search that led her
to retrace his last Journey
to Mount Everest.
It's not a landmark book
but certainly a pleasant
break after reading about
terrorism.
FAST EXIT:
When all is done, human
life is, at the greatest and
the best, but like a forward
child that must be played
with and humoured a little
to keep it quiet till it falls
asleep and then the care is
over.
That's not a terrorist
creed though it might -well
be, given terrorism's
disregard and contempt of
life. No, those are the
Words of Sir William Tem-
ple who lived from 1628 to
1699.

Smokes & Ladders Warns Youngsters About Alcohol & Tobacco
Science and child's play
have merged at the Addic-
tion Research Foundation
in the form of Smokes and
Ladders, a game that
warns children of the
hazards of alcohol and
tobacco use.
Created by two ARF
scientists, Smokes and
Ladders offers a new twist
an the classic Snakes and
Ladders game. The ARF
creation features a neon -
coloured playing surface
with up-to-date graphics
and messages. Gone are
the menacing snakes and
Victorian images that
characterized early ver-
sions of Snakes and Lad-
ders. Instead, warnings
about the risks of puffing
cigarettes or sampling
alcohol - and messages
about the benefits of
avoiding these activities -
are splashed across a hot
pink and green game
board.
Unlucky players will find
their downg aces tumbling
chutes of cigarettes
or slipping down piddles of
spilled alcohol. Those who
manage to dodge the
game's pitfalls will jump
across squares and climb
ladders towards the finish
line.
Smokes and Ladders is
the brainchild of Dr.
Gwynn Giles and Dr. Bill
Corrigall, who normally
devote their workdays to
scientific research in the
field of addictions. Last
year, the pair joined forces
and enlisted the talents of a
graphic artist to create a
hands-on learning tool for
seven -to -11 year olds. The
result - Smokes and Lad-
ders - is meant to be both
educational and entertain-
Ing -
"It's like Sesame Street -
let's have some fun and
learn something about
alcohol and other drugs
too," says Giles
We saw a real need for
prevention tools that would
interest this young age
group," says Corrigall.
"With Smokes and Lad-
ders, we hope to reach

United Way Surpasses Last Year's Results,
Despite Worst Economy Ever
Congratulations Metro Toronto! Despite a tough
eery and some unexpected setbacks, United Way's 1991
Campaign has raised $44,450,000, the most money ever
achieved in United Way's history. -Clearly, the Campaign
captured the imagination of this city and inspired
businesses and individuals to come forward as never
before." Campaign Chairman George FSerheller told the
1.500 volunteers and supporters who gathered at the Metro
Toronto Convention Centre on Nov. 27 to hear the results of
this year's fundraising drive.
The 1991 achievement surpassed last year's campaign
results by M-000, some of which carne from a last minute
surge of support involving more than 400 companies who
participated in the Metro -wide Casual Day for United Way.
So far, this initiative has raised s14o,000 - and we're still
counting! A word of thanks is in order for all those who "got
casual•• for United Way and dug into their pockets yet ane
more time to contribute to our cause.
Single Cell Layer May be Key to Glaucoma: U
of T Study
A University of Toronto researcher investigating the
fluid drainage mechanisms of the human eye has found that
a tiny layer of cells near the cornea may be key in causing
glaucoma.
".Primary open -angle glaucoma is a leading cause of
blindness which results from the blockage of the flow of
aqueous humor - the clear liquid that fills the front of the
eye - as it drains from the eye," said Professor C. Ross
Ethier of the department of mechanical engineering and
the institute of biomedical engineering.
Using human[ eyes from doctors, Ethier and his team
altered critical region of the fluid outflow pathway, par-
ticularly the cells lining Schlemm's canal, by infusing
drugs, such as N -ethyl maleimide. The flow resistance of
the tissue was then measured using a special apparatus.
Ethier and his team are now investigating the theory that
alterations in the lining of Schlemm's canal could con-
tribute to eventual treatment and prevention of glaucoma.
Research is funded by the Medical Research Council of
Canada.
Grants For Disability Organizations
Forty-three organizations have received $711,600 in
grants to fund a range of projects for people with
disabilities, from the office for Disability Issues, Ministry
of Citizenship.
The Community Action Fund grants will support con-
sumer advocacy services, a psychiatric survivors'
outreach group, programs, theatre projects by people with
disabilities, and an international aboriginal conference in a
First Nation community.
many kids before they start
experimenting with tobac-
co and alcohol."
The game is intended for
use in a supervised en-
vironment where its
messages can be sup-
plemented with further in-
formation about substance
abuse. Smokes and Lad-
ders was tested in several
settings - from schools to
parks and recreation
departments and Brownie
packs - before the finished
product was released this
week.
"Teachers from the test
group report that the game
prompted discussions of
alcohol and tobacco, both
during play and afterwards
- and this is exactly what
we hoped for," says Giles.
The colourful images of
Smokes and Ladders focus
on consequences that
might affect young
players. One of the
characters is nauseated by
drinking and another finds
he can climb faster when
he doesn't smoke.
"Most prevention
messages about alcohol
and tobacco focus on long-
term health risks, like cir-
rhosis or cardiovascular
disease," says Corrigal.
"But kids rarely worry
about such long-term pro-
blems. "
Smokes and Ladders
features plastic game
pieces, dice and a neo -
coloured vinyl playing
sheet which is durable,
washable and portable.
The game sells for $15 and
is available through the
ARF's marketing depart-
ment at 1-800-661-1111.

Cookie Consumption Among Canadians on the Rise

There's no doubt about it.
Canadians love cookies. In
1990 there was a 3.6 per cent
increase in the production of
branded packaged cookies sold
through major grocery outlets
according to Nielsen Market
Trends.
Simon Kattar, of Catering i
la Carte, a Toronto special
events catering company, has
noticed an increase in the popu-
larity of cookies "Cookie con-
sumption in our business has
risen four times over the last
two years," comments Kattar.
"Cookies are being served as an
after-dinner treat, often with
fresh fruit. For afternoon tea,
cookies are high on the agenda
instead of pound cake or
creamy confections.
"Basic comfort cookie., —
the kind mother used to make
— are making a comeback,
especially oatmeal, peanut but-
ter and chocolate chip," accord -
log to Kattar.
Dufffet Rosenberg, owner of
Dufflet Pastries in Toronto, also
sees a back-to-hasics trend in
cookies with more 'homev'
cookies of the oatmeal raisin
and chocolate genres gaining
favor.
Here is what two other food
experts tell us titillates the taste
buds of their clients when it
comes to cookies.
"Instead of dessert, I have
been serving hiscotti, which are
harder than regular cookies arid

Toronto. "A chewy or nutty
cookie is a particularly good

Ontario consumers with
cookie cravings, can now dip
into the Pepperidge Farm

the U.S. premium cookie
market.
Being introduced to the
Canadian market are cookie as-

The delicate, out -of -the -ordi-

Cookie Consumption Among Canadians on the Rise

an elegant occasion.
There's no doubt about it.
Canadians love cookies. In
1990 there was a 3.6 per cent
increase in the production of
branded packaged cookies sold
through major grocery outlets
according to Nielsen Market
Trends.
Simon Kattar, of Catering i
la Carte, a Toronto special
events catering company, has
noticed an increase in the popu-
larity of cookies "Cookie con-
sumption in our business has
risen four times over the last
two years," comments Kattar.
"Cookies are being served as an
after-dinner treat, often with
fresh fruit. For afternoon tea,
cookies are high on the agenda
instead of pound cake or
creamy confections.
"Basic comfort cookie., —
the kind mother used to make
— are making a comeback,
especially oatmeal, peanut but-
ter and chocolate chip," accord -
log to Kattar.
Dufffet Rosenberg, owner of
Dufflet Pastries in Toronto, also
sees a back-to-hasics trend in
cookies with more 'homev'
cookies of the oatmeal raisin
and chocolate genres gaining
favor.
Here is what two other food
experts tell us titillates the taste
buds of their clients when it
comes to cookies.
"Instead of dessert, I have
been serving hiscotti, which are
harder than regular cookies arid
have a caramel taste," says Arpi
Magyar, the chef/owner of
Splendido restaurant in
Toronto. "A chewy or nutty
cookie is a particularly good
accompaniment to after-dinner
drinks like champagne or cog -
Michel Lanot, chef at the
Montreal Ritz -Carleton Hotel,
says, "Dessert is always an im-
portant part of the meal for our
clientele. At dinner time, people
prefer to eat a light main dish.
keeping away from rich sauces,
and sa%e dories for a sweet
treat such as special cookies,
'At the Ritz Hotel we serve
afternoon tea with a variet% of
miniatures Chocolate cookies
are naturally the most popular."
Ontario consumers with
cookie cravings, can now dip
into the Pepperidge Farm
cookie jar to enjoy scrumptious
quality treats from the company
long recognized as a leader in
the U.S. premium cookie
market.
Being introduced to the
Canadian market are cookie as-
sortments from the Distinctive,
Old Fashioned, Fruit, and
American Collection as well as
a selection of crackers — pro-
ducts that will appeal to sophis-
ticated palates.
The delicate, out -of -the -ordi-
nary treats in the elegant array
of Distinctive Cookie consist
of premium ingredient- such as
sweet dark choa%late and pure
vanilla baked in a variety of
shapes and textures.
Fruit Cookies were intro-
duced by Pepperidge Farm in
the early '80% and quickly be-
came a ta%, rnic. Thcsc butter
aokits with chopped pecans
have either a dollop of
.tmwhtrr% prescrvt% or apricot
and raspberry presen r.
Lunched in the tart% 'NX by
Pcpperidge Farm, Oid Fash-
ioned Cookies are having a
popularity resurgence rx)w that
there is a back -to -basics, trend in
axwkmg. Everyone seem. to
!ong for the kind of cotoikie. the%
%W in their childhood. Old
Fashioned Cookies are made
from w holesome ingredients
like our mothers and grand-
mother, used: ginger. molasses,
oatmeal and raisin..
Chocolate is an integral in-
gredient in Pepperidge Farm's
.American Collection. These in-
dulgent --lumpy bumpy" coo-
kies are so full of goodies, the
baker, had a difficult time get-
ting the cookies to hold to-
getlrer.
For those who shv from coo-
kie., considering them a dietary
"no -no", there is good trews_
Once basic nutritional require-
ments have been satisfied, coo-
kies can he added to the diet
with a clear conscience, as bog
as daily calorie intakes are not
exceeded. To help consumers
snake smart "fun food" choices,
Pepperidge Farm cookies are
now made without tropical oils,
artificial flavors or artificial pre-
servatives.
It's clear to see why cookies
have become one of the most
popular confections for adults:
the perfect accompaniment to
freshly brewed tea or coffee, an
afternoon pick-me-up, an alter-
native to rich pastries for
dessert, or just a special treat.

Business Community News j
Joint Venture Survey Off & Running
Since the "Profits
Through Joint Venturing"
survey was introduced at
the Nov. 22nd breakfast
meeting. there has been en-
thusiastic support from
Durham's manufacturing
sector.
"What [Hakes this pro-
gram so important," stated
Pat Olive, Commissioner,
Economic Development,
Region of Durham, "is the
number of small
businesses that have com-
pleted the survey and are
aggressively pursuing the
idea of joint -venturing.
"Too often," continued
Mr. Olive, "news headlines
are made of the joint ven-
tures entered into by such
giants of industry as
General Motors, Dupont,
General Electric and many
others. They are important
and deserve recognition
but so do the joint -venture
arrangements negotiated
between two smaller firms.
The whole idea of featur-
ing joint ventures for
Durham manufacturers
started during my business
visit to the Hannover Fair
in 1999. At that time, most
executives of European
manufacturing firms were
totally engaged in the birth
of the European Economic
Community 92 (EEC 92)
which will take place on
Jan. 1st, 1992.
Many owners of firms
were interested in the
North American market
but didn't have the senior
personnel available to set
up a Canadian or U.S plant.
When joint venturing was
mentioned, especially to
owners of smaller Euro-
pean firms, immediate in-
terest was created but un-
fortunately, we, in Durham
didn't have the type of in-
formation required by the
Europeans to judge
whether a firm was right as
a J/V partner.
The "Profits Through
Joint Venturing" survey
will fill that need and the
completed book will in-
clude those companies in-
terested in pursuing joint
ventures. These books will
be sent to our Canadian and
Ontario Trade officers
throughout the world as
well as being used as a
reference for any oontaets
made through the
Economic Development
Department of Durham
Region.
In many cases, smaller
firms have a flexibility of
action denied larger cor-
porations that must move
through a Board of Direc-
tors for approval.
"Also," continued Mr.
Olive. "owners of off -shore
firms prefer dealing with
the owner of a firm which
gives a decided edge to the
many smaller firms in our
area."
Olivetti President Is Guest Speaker

Mr. DeSirnone's presew

challenges to the industry

Avner The Eccentric
Leah Posluns Theatre
presents the Canadian
premiere of the hilarious,
one-man laughfest "Avner
The Eccentric". starring
Avner Eisenberg. "Avener
The Eccentric" opens on
Jan. 22 and runs until Feb.
16, 19912.
In a combination of the
styles of Jerry Lewis and
Charlie Chaplin, Eisenberg
presents a vaudeville in-
fluenced mix of magic,
physical antics and au-
dience involvement that's
wrought with surprises.
Avner Eisenberg began
his career performing in
the streets of Paris to sup-
port himself. The ex-
perience paid off. His
1994;85 Broadway run of
'.Avener The Eccentric"
was a huge hit and he co-
starred in the 1987 Lincoln
Centre production of "Ibe
dornedy of Errors".
Avner is probably best
known for his endearing
portrayal of The Jewel, the
scene stealing holyman in
"Ibe Jewel Of The Nile" in
which he co-starrd with
Michael Douglas and
Kathleen Turner.

federal discussion paper
entitled "Insider Trading
and the Canada Business
Corporations Act".
However, the board notes
that a number of the
changes being proposed to
the Canada Business Cor-
porations Act's insider
trading provisions are at
variance with those con-
tained in the Ontario
Securities Act. The board
makes a number of recom-
mendations to achieve
greater harmonization.
Insurance And Legislation
Proposed Revisions to On-
tario's Arbitrations Act
While supporting Ontario
Bill 42, An Act to revise the
Arbitrations Act, the board
believes that a government
sponsored public
awareness campaign is
Deeded to encourage ar-
bitration as a dispute
remedy alternative to the
court process. Also, the
board recommends that
the government monitor
the new arbitration process
and, if it proves less costly
and amore expeditious than
litigation. consider making
arbitratim mandatory in
certain areas of eowmer-
cial activity.
Transportation
Leslie -Street Extension
The board requests a
public hearing be held on
the recently completed
Leslie Street Environmen-
tal Assessment. The Leslie
Street extension has been
the subject of debate for
nearly twenty years, with
the board strongly suppor-
ting its completion. Failure
to grant the hearing may
jeopardize the project.
Air Services
Canada -Singapore
Bilateral Air Services
Agreement
The federal government
recently served notice of its
intention to terminate the
Canada -Singapore
bilateral air services
agreement. The reason for
this step, the first ever by
Canada, was the perceived
imbalance of the present
agreement in favour of
Singapore.
The board supports the
need for renegotiation.
However. the board also
states that such negotia-
tions should be predicated
on the need to offer
travellers choice and to
promote trade between
Canada and Singapore.
Airports
Bottooville Airport
This past summer the
Ontario government and
Town of Markham entered
into an arrangement to
purchase Buttooville Air-
port from its present
owners. The province
would guarantee a portion
of the loon to the town.
which could then qualify
for federal grants which it
does not currently receive.
The province is reviewing
the offer.
The board supports the
retention of Buttomille as
an integral component of
Bigger tax break makes RRSPs
better investment for Canadians
Canadian taxpayers are
getting a break in at least one
direction this New Year -- on
their Registered Retirement
Savings Plans (RRSPs).
Described by financial
planners as "the most generous
tax incentive in the world,"
RRSPs permit Canadians to
defer income tax on the money
they invest, up to allowable
maximums.
In the case of people who
are not in a company pension
plan, the ceiling for RRSP
contributions made up to
February 29, 1992 is 511,500,
or 18% of tamed income —
whichever is less.
The sum invested can be
deducted from 1991 earned
income before income tax is
calculated. The result is a
smaller tax bill or, for those
who pay tax via payroll
deduction, a larger refund.
RRSPs can be purchased
through mutual fund or
investment companies, bank,
stock brokers, insurance
companies or registered sales
representatives.
Wayne Walker, Vice -
President, Marketing of
Investors Group Inc., Canada's
biggest mutual fund company,
says Canadians put more than
$11 billion into mutual funds in
1990. The amount is expected
to be even greater for 1991.
7be average contributor will
find that their tax saving will
represent anywhere between
one-quarter and one-half of the
amount they're investing," Mr.
Walker says.
This year's maximum of
$11-500 will be increased by
51,000 each year until 1995,
when the maximum will be
$15.500. Last year, the limit
was $7,500.
Revenue Canada has been
mailing out notices to taxpayers
who are enrolled in company
pension plans, advising them of
the allowable contribution they
can make in a personal RRSP.
Most Canadians entrust their
RRSPs to an established
financial institution, such as
Investors Group, Mr. Walker
says, although self-administered
plans are permissible. His
company offers a variety of
mutual funds which qualify as
RRSP vehicles.
A growing number of
Canadians -- at least one in
five taxpayers -- invests in
RRSPs as a retirement
supplement to company or
government pension plans.
'Me addition of an RRSP to
existing pensions can ensure
one of being in a very
comfortable financial position
at retirement time," says Mr.
Walker. "But those dependent
on government pension alone
will be in difficult straits," he
predicts. "Even now,
government pension levels
barely match the poverty line,
and who knows how much
they'll be worth in the future."
While many taxpayers will
be making RRSP investments
in January and February so as
to make the deadline for a
the Toronto area airport
system. However, the
board also supports the
current provincial review
to ensure the best possible
deal for the provincial tax-
payer. It asks that the
study be completed quickly
in order to avoid further
uncertainty over the future
of Buttonville.
Economic Development
An Economic Manifesto for
Metro Toronto
The board's second an-
nual Action Plan is a con-
solidation of present board
positions on various issues
relating to employment,
education, training, hours-
ing, environment,
transportation and
tourism. It will be used as a
tool by the board to urge
the government to consider
and act upon the critical
issues identified in the Ac-
tion Plan when making
policy decisions that will
affect the economic well-
being of Metro Toronto.

1991 tax benefit, financial
planners recommend making
regular contributions, such as
once a month or with every
pay cheque.
The maximum ceilings are
now so generous that few
people will be able to take
advantage of the tax benefit
through a one-shot investment.
By investing on a regular basis,
one can increase their tax
savings and enjoy an earlier
return on their investment.
Mutual funds continue to be
the most popular RRSP
vehicle, according to Mr.
Vb'alker. A %ariety of funds are
available to meet the individual
needs. These include equity
funds that invest in the shares
of public companies, and funds
with guaranteed rates of return
such as money market, bond
and mortgage funds.
A Gallup Canada survey
sponsored by Investors Group
concluded that Canadians will
have to start investing more if
they intend to realize their
expectations for a secure,
comfortable retirement.
About one-third of Canadians
now have no retirement fund,
other than the Quebec or
Canada Pension Plan and the
federal Old Age Security
pension, Mr. Walker says.
"It is urgent for people to
realize that they are going to
have to finance their own
retirement. There's no better
way to do this than by taking
advantage of the tax bmaks
which RRSPs offer."

by Muriel Warden
The Oakville Invitational
Meet held Jan. lith and
12th at the town's recrea-
tion complex was the first
racing opportunity for
Scarborough swimmers
following their Christmas
break training camps. A
team of eight qualifiers at-
tended mid-season inten-
sive workout sessions in
their specific training in
Birchmount pool.
Results in Oakville were
not surprising to coaches
Darin Muma and Bob
Boadway. Personal best
times were not expected at
this point, due to the hard
work just completed at the
camps and contint ing in
regular daily workouts.
However, aggressive, con-
fident swims were evident
as the Scarborough squad
swam to several medal
wins.
Alison Jones 12, was once
again club leader with wins
in six events. She was tops
in the 100.200 and 400 metre
Freestyle events, the 100
and 200 Backstrokes and

year while he attends
school in Toronto and con-
tinues his swim program
with Scarborough Swim
Club.
The swimmers' success
at this local meet is just
another step along the way
for this group of dedicated
athletes. For some, the Na-
tional (championships and
Olympic Trials are this
year's top goal. Others
have Provincial Champion-
ships and Interprovincial
meets to attend. No matter
what the level, the work is
hard and time consuming.

Club Med will celebrate

Colombus' momentous
voyage to the New World
with the opening of an ex-
traordinary new village.
Club Med new
Island,
located on the pristine
Bahamian island of San
Salvador, long believed to
be the site of the explorers
first landing.
The new village is rising
alongside the aqua -blue
waters of Bonefish Bay,
fronted by a 5 km stretch of
one of the most dazzling
white beaches in the Carib-
bean.
It promises to be one of
the most exquisite village
settings in the Club Med
family, with large accom-
modations including
telephone and television.
Perfect sea conditions will
allow for an array of
watersports, highlighted
by an intensive scuba div-
ing program.
So mark October 1992 on
your calendar: That's
when San Salvador,
Bahamas, comes alive with
a celebration com-
memorating Colombus'
voyage, and when Club
Med makes a little history
of its own with the opening
of Columbus Island.
Club Med At Olympics
A cluster of world-class
Club Med ski villages nest-
ed in the French Alps will
be transformed into
"Olympic Villages.. during
the 1992 Wtnter Games.
It all happens in
February: Val D'Isere will
become home to the
downhill skiers, while La
Plague welcomes luge and
bobsled competitors:
Olympic sponsors and their
guests will stay at Les Arcs
and Tignes Val -Claret. the
international press coypu:
will operate from Les

And next July, Club Med
I will sail into harbour at
Barcelona to become part
of the pageantry of the
Summer Olympics. The
French Olympic Commit-
tee has chartered this ex-
traordinary sailing ship to
serve as its floating
hospitality suite from July
24 to August 9.
Coming aboard will be a
parade of Olympic per-
sonalities. journahsts. and,
of course. freshly wreathed
Olympic medalists.
If you're not in one of
these categories, don't
despair: before and after
Club Med 1's moorage in
Barcelona, reservations
are open to sail to the
Greek isles, Turkey, Malta
and other Mediterranean
destinations.

jet skiing, para -sailing and windsurfing. Marinas offer day fishing and serve as home to an
extensive shrimp fishing fleet and one of the few true sailing flotillas in the U.S. Area shopp-
ing and dining are close and convenient.
Snow Shovelling Can Be Great Winter Exercise
New fallen snow on a
crisp winter day is a pretty
sight but shovelling out the
driveway or sidewalk can
be a dangerous task.
Although some people
over -exert themselves and
suffer heart attacks or
strokes as a result, a far
more common result is
back stress and pain.
"'this is unfortunate,"
says Markham chiroprac-
tor Dr. George I. Traitses,
"because, if done properly,
snow shovelling actually
can be a healthy form of ex-
ercise - one that burns off
400 to 600 calories an hour. „
The first mistake that
most people make is trying
to accomplish too much,
too quickly. They pay little
attention to posture and
cause unnatural stress to
their spines. Bent over at
the waist with knees
straight is a position
guaranteed to place undue
strain on the lower back.

resulting in pain or worse.
Dr. Traitses D.C., says
that Ontario's doctors of
chiropractic recommend
that we treat shovelling
like any other exercise and
spend a few minutes doing
warm up exercises first.
Stretch the muscles of your
arms, shoulders, back. and
legs before attacking the
accumulated snow.
Dress appropriately. you
don't want to be either too
cold or too warm. If you are
feeling chilly, the tendency
is to rush through the task
too quickly and place
yourself at a greater risk of
injury. On the other hand,
becoming overheated from
exertion is not good for the
cardiovascular system.
Freshly fallen snow is
generally easier to move
than packed down or
trampled snow. Try to
remove it after only a few
centimetres (one to two in-
ches) have accumulated,
even if that means several
shovelling expeditions dur-
ing a long snow -fall.
Pushing is easier than hf-
ting, so use a lightweight
pusher -type shovel. Spray
it with Teflon so that snow
will not cling to it.
However, if you must lift
snow, use a small shovel
and, once loaded, keep it
close to your body at all
times. Do not bend over
and reach out to shovel.
When loading the shovel,
bend knees and hips, keel-
ing your back staight.
Then, step into the load.
When lifting, again keep
your tact straight and use
the strength in your legs for
power. Point yar feet in
the direction in which you
wish to unload the shovel.
Move your entire body:
do not twist at the waist.
This places a great deal of
stress on your lower back.
Learn to shovel both right -
and left -banded, and switch
frequently to prevent over-
loading the muscles on one
side of the body or the
other.
Take it easy. Working
hard in the cold air can be
invigorating but it can also
numb your sense of pain
and fatigue, masking the
severity of sprain and
strain. Also. vigorous
shovelling can raise your
heart rate and blood
pressure to dangerous
levels. Stop and rest occa-
sionally: stand up straight
and breathe deeply.
If you feel a twinge of
back pain, stop immediate
h• and go inside, sit down
and rest. When it comes to
snow shovelling, it's wiser
to use your head than back.
These health views are

tario Chiropractic Associa-
tion in the interest of better
public health- Dr. George I.

vim Rene Soetens, M.P.
Like many Canadians, you may have been surprised to
hear the strains of "O Canada" emanating from your
favourite radio station at noon on New Year's day. Behind
this seemingly simple patriotic display lies a very in-
teresting story.
During the Persian Gulf War, when Canadian troops were
stationed in the Middle East, many Canadians were
reminded that they could do a lot worse than live in Canada.
%Ks Carlin, a disc jockey for DC 103.5 FM in Orangeville,
Ontario. decided that it would be a suitable gesture.to play
the national anthem daily to send a message to his listeners
that there is nothing wrong with feeling patriotic about
one's country. The only problem with Carlin's plan was that
he could not find a decent recorded version of our anthem.
He eventually discovered a copy at his local library, and
eyed it daily to an enthusiastic response from his
isteners, but he decided that he could do better. Carlin soon
set out to create a rendition of the national anthem that
would be unparalleled in quality.
Carlin got the help of several individuals - promoter
Brian Lyon, record producer Hayward Parrot. and his local
MP. Garth Turner. This groin was able to enlist aid from
several corporate sponsors, and created the "O Canada
Foundation". Before long. the group had collected some of
Canada's best singers and musicians for the recordings.
The result of all this hard work is actually two versions - a
symphonic version of "O Canada" played by a 71 -piece or-
chestra, and a multi -voiced all-star version sung by 244 of
Canada's top recoding artists.
The goal of the non-profit foundation. which will
distribute copies of the recording to every school. library
and Legion in the country. is to instill pride in our national
anthem and our nation.
An hour-long television special that documents the mak-
ing of the recording wiIlbe shown on CT'V on March 1, and
will be repeated several times throughout the year. If you
would like a copy of this. eco$ ng, you can participate by
calling (519) O CANADA. By making a S210 contribution,
you'll receive a tape or convect disc of the recording.
Durham Bd. Of Education Highlights
RestrWtW"% li aivatives
Director of Education
Pauline Icing reviewed for
trtatees the status of the
Restructuring of Educabon
initiatives which were an-
nou riced in the 1919 Throne
Speech. The initiatives
were based on reports,
reviews and research
about the current structure
of education in Ontario.
As a result of restructur-
ing, the Early Years
( Junior and Senior
Kindalarrten) and the For-
mative Years (grades 1-6)
will replace the Primary
Division ( Kindergarten to
grade 3) and the Junior
Division (grades 4-6). The
Transition Years ( grades
7-9) and the Specialization
Years (grade 10-0.AC. )
will replace the In-
termediate Division
( grades 7-10) and the
Senior Division (grade
Listen to
11-O.A.C. ). There also ww
be a renewal of Technical
Education and Teacher
Education for all grades.
The process of restruc-
turing education begins
with the MWistry of Educa-
tion forming a Work Team
for each of the initiatives
and defining its mandate.
The team develops a Can -
sulcation Paper and sends
it to boards of education
and other groups for
response. After the team
analyzes the responses, it
develops a Pohcy Paper
and more responses are
sought. The Ministry then
finalizes its Policy an each
of the initiatives and
boards of education begin
the process of amplenenta-
tion.

Years (formerly called the
Foundation Years) in-
itiative, the Ministry has

which requested the
Ministry allow these
boards to explore alter-
natives to the implementa-
tion of Junior
Kindergarten. The
Minister has promised a
response to their request
before Christmas.
The Ministry has formed
a Formative Years Wok
Team which currently is
analyzing the responses to
its Consultation Paper. The
Durham Board has
responded to the Consulta-
tion Paper, is creating
more awareness of the ben-
chmark process, and will
undertake a writing review
next With regard to the Tran-
sition Years initiative, the
Ministry is currently
analyzing the responses to
its Consultation Paper and
monitoring pilot projects
such as the one underway
at Ajax H.S. In Durham a
Transition Years Task
Force has been established
and a formal response to
the Ministry's Consultation
Paper has been submitted.
An implementation plan
has been developed and
several Transition Years
Projects have been in-
itiated over the past year.
Director Pauline Laing is
on the Ministry's Work
Team for the Specialization
Years. She noted that the
team is still meeting and
hopes to release its Con-
