Gwen Mowbray is retir-
ing from the library board

library recently to honour
Mrs. Mowbray with a din-
ner and mementoes for her
near quarter-century of

of those years in the chair
of the board.
During this time. Mrs.
Mowbrav has steered the
Pickering Public Library
from a loosely configured
group of small village
libraries into a
sophisticated and ver- suc-
cessful system delivering
services through the
popular Central libran•
and community -level bran-
ches. She has also been ac-
tive on the provincial
library scene, serving on a
variety of associations and
advisory groups -
"I believe I and the
boards I served with have
witnessed the most ex-
citing period in the entire
history of Ontario public
libraries," said Mrs.
Mowbray. "Not only in
Pickering. but right across
the province, we have one
of the best library systems
in the world. Ontario
libraries are at the
forefront of information
processing. they are an
essential element in the
dernocratic process, in the
maintenance of literacy
and critical thinking: they
are also places for fun and
recreation. And all this,
I'm proud to say, at low
cost to the taxpayer...
The 1992 library board is
composed almost entirely
of new members. Chief
Librarian Sandy Cameron
noted that the ac-
complishments of Mrs.
Mowbray and her fellow
board members from the
past have set a dauntingly
high standard for their suc-
cessors. "She w111 be sorely
missed for her energy,

Infant Day Care
To the Editor:
The recent NDP decision in Ontario to entrench non-
profit child care as the exclusive agent of alternative care
has precipitated a debate about the relative merits of com-
mercial vs non-profit substitute child care. This may be an
opportune time to re -introduce an even more fundamental
question that has never been fully answered: namely - Is in-
fant day- care in the best interests of the child, the family,
and society'.
There is mounting evidence that infants put in day care
centres may be harmed by sensory deprivation and trauma
caused by separation from their mothers. especially during
the first year of life. Surveys in the U.S. have shown' that, if
economic necessity were not a factor, the majority of work-
ing mothers would prefer to stay home longer with their
newborn. There is no reason to expect Canadians would feel
differently.
Perhaps what is needed is more freedom of choice for the
embattled tax -paying family. Flexibility and freedom of
choice could be provided through changes in the tax system
that would not make it economically more attractive or
necessary to work, through more generous pregnancy and
parental leave policies, through adequate part-time work
options. and finally through the provision of high -standard
day care ( commercial and non-profit) with strictly enforc-
ed regulations.
Infant day care may be unwittingly contributing to social
problems that ultimately include criminality. According to
knowledgeable specialists. the critical factor is bonding.
Without effective bonding, the infant won't become attach-
ed to the primary caregiver, the mother and • or father. Ex-
perts have demonstrated that criminality - especially that
associated with violence - is tied to poor chik#wod attach-
ment.
A recent, chilling example of this is the "thrill killing" of
Joseph Fritch. the Hudson's Bay Co. executive by James
Roston and Steven Olah. Both were described as suffering
from paranoid schizophrenia or antisocial personality
disorder. This phenomenon is thoroughly explored in 'High
Risk : Children without a Conscience' by Dr. Ken Magid. a
psychologist and Carole McKevley. a journalist - a
fascinating and rivetturg read'
Khat is now required is an intellectually hottest public
debate drawing on the knowledge and experience of the
various disciplines of psychology, psychiatry, genetics,
sociology. and criminology as well as any others that can
provide insight into this issue
Khat should be the pnmary focus of concern is the well
being of the child and ultimately society, not the intran-
sigent advancement of a particular political agenda or
Marxist ideology.

into effect. This law requires employers to automatically deduct
family support payments from the wages of employees who are
obliged to meet this responsibility.
As an employer you have a key partnership role in this
important initiative to help children and other dependants
receive timely and regular support payments.
The Minism• of the Attorney General is providing brief-
ing sessions and information materiaLs to Ontario employers.
These will assist you in meeting your responsibilities to deduct
support payments from your employees' wages when required
by the Family Support Plan.
To date, briefing sessions are planned at the following
locations:

Bill Watt's Worlds
AT THE OPERA:
It's not axiomatic that a
performing art should be
judged solely on artistic
merit, ideal and idealistic
perhaps but not axiomatic.
Nowhere is this more evi-
dent than in the world of
opera. In example we offer
the Canadian Opera Com-
pany's current production
of La boheme at The
O'Keefe.
It should have been and
perhaps was one of the bet-
ter productions we have ex-
erienced of the beloved
Puccini opera but we
couldn't really tell.
The orchestra under the
direction of Myer Fredman
performed the score
magnificently. Lush,
sweeping, voluptuous are
words of further descrip-
tion that spring easily to
mind. In opera. however.
the orchestra is there to
serve the singers. It need
not should not be subser-
vient but neither should it
be to the forefront of one's
senses. Like a gentleman's
gentleman or a lady-in-
waiting. it should be paper
but discreet. capable but
artistically cunning.
En fin, it should not
drown out the singers as it
&don the evening of our at-
tendance .. or did it' You
see. The O'Keefe even with
its state of the art sound
system is a tricky
auditorium.
A stage director, in this
case Dieter Kaegi. must
place his performers ac-
curately on statue: centre
ideally and at lap level.
Placing performers to ex-
treme right or left stage
and or on risers makes it
difficult for singers to be
heard over the orchestra.
Wait, however, there is
more. We stand by the
preceding paragraph but.
Libra to the end, offer the
following qualifier. The ef-
fect of improper staging is
not universal in The
O'Keefe. That is to sav that
the degree of effect
depends in some measure
upon where one is seated.
In our case, we were
seated in orchestra and far
audience right. We were
barely able to hear the
singers on those occasions
when they were not centre
stage and at the lap. We
heard other members of
the audience around us
saying that they too
couldn't always hear the
singers or, at least. hear
them as they deserved to
be heard.
We have already stated
that the orchestra was in
excellent form. What abort
the singers' They might
very well have been as well
but we can't reallv say.
Yoko Watanabe is ob-
viously the mistress of her
art technically. This is
manifest in her superb
breath control. Emotional -
h . however, there seemed -
seemed! -to be a lack of
feeling but who really can
say' We quite simply
couldn't always hear her

seemed vocally thin and we
suspect he probably is
when cast opposite a singer
with the power of Miss
Watanabe.
Reliable Theodore Baerg
was a suitably volatile
Marcello but his effect ow-
ed more -apparently -to ac-
ting ability than his ex-
cellent baritone voice.
Gianna Rolandi who was
to sing the role of Musetta
was taken with an in-
disposition and the role was
undertaken by her
understudy. Catherine
Janus.
She was excellent both in
characterization and in
voice. The latter was evi-
dent because of her for-
tuitous stage marks.
Does this production of
La boheme deserve
custom'. Of course it does!
There are enough musical
and visual delights to
please even the most jaded.
My goodness, merely to
listen to the orchestra is
worth the cost of admis
sion! All of which is not to
say that it might have been
better.

We grow weary of being
at the theatre and seeing
people occupying seats that
are not theirs. Oh. they've
purchased tickets, usualh
for second balcony. But.

til the house lights dim and
then ensconce thersssehes
in empty seats .. frequent-
ly with to
the rightful occupants who
arrive late.
Granted that frequently
the seats are empty
because they are unsold, it
doesn't clean that they are
available for those pushy
enough to lay claim to
them.
If that makes us a dog in

the Variety Club. Why not

NO HOT D(X;S:
There are no hot dogs on
the buffet of Stage West. No
indeed, theirs is a most
bountiful buffet. We're not
putting the knock
(knackwurst? ) on hot
dogs: we quite enjoy them.
But, they can't match a
baron of beef or poached
salmon or roast lamb or . .
oh. so many other fine
foods from the Stage
West's four huge buffets.
We're going to be there
on Fri. Feb. 7th for the
opening of Joyce DeWitt in
the musical Leader of The
Pack. In honour of the
Chinese New Year, Stage
West is offering a Chinese
Seafood buffet.
Joyce DeWitt, for those
of you with short
memories, is the dark
haired young lady who was
part of the menage a trois
on Three's Company. And,
for those of you who might
not have noticed, she has
great legs.
Life is good! A good
musical. Chinese seafood
and Joyce DeWitt's legs.
Yes.indeed!

As mentioned earlier, the
12th annual Variety Club
Telethon goes this Satur-
day and Sunday on Global
starting at 9 p.m.
As always, there are
more entertainers and
hosts than we have space
enough to list but here are
just a few of them... Boby
Curtola ( Don't ask us why
but he's now spelling his
name with just one B.

Vegas maybe') Gowan,
Long John Baldry and Ron-
nie Hawkins just back from
biidem in Cannes.
Global TV and CBC's
%ewsworld begin a new
half hour program on Feb.
9th titled Mone)serm.
Doreen Vanini tells us
that the show is a sequel to
Moneysw•orth. the popular
show seen on 7N Ontario
for the pest nine years.
Bruce Rogers who hosted
the former is back as host
and co-producer. Well. if
money tanks. the only thing
it ever said to us is Good-
bye. Still. we feel compell-
ed to present the following
question. If the people
behind these shows are so
knowledgeable, why are
they still working' Isn't the
whole idea behind acquir-
ing wealth, to acquire
enough of it so that one
need not work'
Or is that another of our
fundamental Libra errors?
FOR YOUR INFO:
We are indebted to the
Hong Kong Tourist
Association for the follow-
ing information.
The Chinese Lunar New
Year is calculated to fall on
the first day of the first
moon after the stn enters
Aquarius -no earlier than
Jan. 21st and no later than
Feb. 19th in the Gregorian
calendar. The first three
days of the 1992 Lugar New
Year -The Year of the
Monkey -are Feb. 4th
through the 6th.
We were born in a year of
The Sheep. For this year of
The Monkey we are advis-
ed that this is a vear to lead
not follow. Despite the at-
tempts of others to pull the
wool over the Sheep's eyes,
we will maintain a clear
idea of where opportunities
lie.
Well it's true that
we've always admired
leaders. That's why we
follow them. What a pity
there are no political
leaders in Canada.
IN PRINT:
We've just received from
Alfred A. Knopf, Canada a
soft cover titled
Cronenberg on
Cronenberg.
David Cronenberg is, of
course, the Canadian film
maker noted for his films of
the horrific such as The
Fly, Scanners and, his
latest, The Naked Lunch
and these are his writings
on them. It's not strictly a
biography even though its
catalogued under
Autobiography ' Film.
Obviously its appeal will
be for film buffs in general
and fans of David
Cronenberg in particular
This t, the ' urquoise faience shawabty of King Anlamani,
Nubian, 7th Century B.C. It has a height of 26.5 cans. The
Royal Ontario Museum has opened two new permanent
galleries, the Ancient Egypt Gallery and North America's
first Nubia gallery. Visitors can examine 201111 antiquities
from the ROM's permanent collections. ( Photo - Brian
Boyle, ROM) .
We recommend it.
Mr. Cronenberg will like-
ly not remember but we
met once. It was a few
years ago when his mother
was temporarily sharing a
room in Sunnybrook
Hospital with another lady
we were visiting.
Given the nature of his
films one might have ex-
pected a dour, brooding
sort of person. Not at all,
he's a charmer and a real
pussycat.
FAST EXIT:
In a recent review of a
recording we used the term
riff. We have been asked to
explain it. Well, it has
nothing to do with
Romberg's The Desert
Song.
A riff, in music, is a
repeated phrase of pro-
nounced rhythmic
character. It's usually two
bars in length, e.g. Count
Basie's Swinging the Blues
or four bars as in One
O'Clock Jump.

Manning Received
Lots Of Applause
Preston Manning, leader
of the Reform Party, got a
lot of applause from a full
house of 4000 people in the
Metro East Trade Centre.
Pickering on Wed. Jan.
22nd.
The Reform Party now
has 100,000 paid members
and $20 million in funds
raised from members.
Some 200 ridings in the
west, the maritimes and
Ontario have been organiz-
ed.
Mr. Manning, besides a
few jokes to give humour to
his audience, told his au-
dience that we have many
Royal Commissions at Ot-
tawa costing millions "but
we don't do anything!" He
urged everyone to get in-
volved in politics.
He said we should elect a
national assembly of non -
politicians to decide on the
constitution, followed by a
referendum for the public
to decide. We emphasized
that in the present system
MPs don't seem to repre-
sent
eptsent the people.
Big applause greeted Mr.
Manning's idea to get the
constitution debate out of
the hands of the politicians
and deal instead with the
economic problems.
The best applause came
when the Reform leader
brought up how to get rid of
the GST' He noted that
U beral MP Dennis Mills of
Don Mills wants a "flat in-
come tax" with no GST.
But !Manning says be would ;
prefer to have a " propor-
tional income tax" and no
loopholes in income tax
rules.
He said be believed that
the only way to get rid of
the GST was to make
policies "by feedback from
people like you".
Estimates predict a $32
billion return from the GST
in 1993. Polls indicate that
2 3rds of Canadians want
GST rules revised. 1 '3rd
want no GST. "But the
third option is to incor-
porate it in income tax," he
declared.
Manning tackled the
social spending costs by the
federal government. He
says spending should be
targetted to those who need
it most because the current
cost is 60% of the total
budget.
He also mentioned the
government waste in han-
douts and grants as well as
too many government
departments. Manning also
advocates reducing the
number of civil servants.
The huge national debt
was also a target of Mann-
ingH�undreds more party
members were expected
from this meeting.

Looking For Growth
MPP's Food For Thought
Economies grow by substituting imports. Looking at
ways of helping the economy of Scarborough East. local
MPP Dr. Bob Ftankford believes encouraging local food
Production might be one way of responding to the recession.
This could involve either growing or processing food. The
riding is primarily a residential area but there are areas of
green space and some under-utilized industrial areas. Dr.
Frankford believes intensive production of such things as
hothouse tomatoes and mushrooms would be a very real
possibility.
Urban areas have always had food processing such as
brewing and baking. Mie'ro•brewenes are developing in
other parts of the province. The English and German
populations of the riding might be a ready market for their
traditional stvle beers.
Dr. Frankford has corresponded with the Minister of
Agriculture. Elmer Buchanan, about these possibilities and
intends to meet with ministry staff. He is also piaming
meetings with the Toronto Food Policy Council, which is
working to develop an environmentally suastainable food
system for all Torontomacs.
In Japan, land policies make it quite common to find
agriculture in urban arras.

Nursing Programs Reach
Out To Community
A new nursing program
offered by Centennial CoI-
lege will complement On-
tario's desire to take some
health care services out of
hospitals and make them
more community -centered.
Registered Nurse -
Community Nursing is a
300 -hour post-diproma pro-
gram which will equip
practising nurses with the
knowledge and skills need-
ed to care for patients in
their homes or within com-
munity organizations.
Taking care of patients
at home is seen as a major
health care trend in the
1990s. Not only is it con-
sidered more economical,
but some studies suggest
patients may recover
quicker in the comfort of
their own beds.
"With institutional
health care becoming more
expensive and hospital
beds in great demand,
there will be increasing
emphasis on caring for in-
dividuals in their homes,"
says Kay Glennie, Centen-
nial's program coor-
dinator. "The home is a
very different environ-
ment. Nurses who work in
the community need many
enhanced skills."
Students will be exposed
to important developments
in cornrnu nity nursing, in-
cluding gerontolagical nur-
sing (care for the aged),
family dynamics,
psychiatric and mental
health care, and the
multicultural aspects of
nursing care.
Issues unique to the
home care setting will also
be examined, says Glenne.
Topics will include patient
and environmental assess-
ment skills, legal and
ethical considerations,
adapting nursing
technology to the home,
and teaching patients to
care for themselves.
A comparable program
for the Registered Nursing
Assistant is in the develop-
ment stage. "The RNA is a
health care provider who is
assuming a more extended
role in home-based nursing
practice," says Glennie.
Both programs will be of-
fered full- or part-time to
cater to the needs of work-
ing Professional nurses or
nursing assistants.
Canada's New Home
Improvement Warehouse
This spring will bring the
opening of Canada's first
home improvement
warehouse - Aikenhead's.
The 131,000 square foot
store, located at Warden
Ave. and Ellesmere Road
in Scarborough, will be
similar to the full-service
warehouse operations that
are a major success in the
United States and Europe.
The concept will revolu-
tionize Canadian retailing
in urban markets, much
like it has in the U.S.
The warehouse will offer
a full range of home im-
provement prducts and the
sales force will be made up
of trained trades -people
serving the do-it-yourself
consurrher.
Stephen Bebis,
Aikenhead's President,
says that construction of
Aikenhead's first
warehouse is on schedule
and ground has been
broken for the construction
of a second outlet north of
Toronto at highways 400
and 7. also scheduled to
open in 1992.
"We intend to have 10
warehouses open in Toron-
to by the end of 1995," says
Bebis. "They'll be
strategically placed, carry
brand name products, pro-
vide the best service and
guarantee the lowest prices
in the Greater
Metropolitan area. Add to
that the Aikenhead name,
which has tremendous
positive public recognition
in the Toronto area, and a
talented management
team and you have an ex-
citing retail operation."
A typical Canadian home
improvement store
averages 40,000 square
feet. Aikenhead's
warehouse outlets will be
three times that size. This
size, combined with larger
buying power, will allow
Aikenhead to offer
customers every day low
prices as well as special
buys.
"Low prices and an in-
credible selection of pro-
ducts in each category will
certainly attract
customers," says Bebis.
"but it's the level of service
we'll offer that will bring
Wed. January 29, IM THE NEWS/POST Page 9
people back again ana
again. You won't find any
'order -takers' at
Aikenhead's. Our staff will
be experienced in all
aspects of home improve-
ment and will be able to
give our customers sound
advice...
The Aikenhead's name
has represented quality
retailing in Ontario for 160
years and is now owned by
The Molson Companies
