Why Are We Worrying
About The Constitution?
by Bob Watson
Like many staunch Canadians we are fed up with federal
money being wasted on large meetings supposedly design-
ed to find the answers for our constitution. And, of course,
once changes are made to the constitution, everything will
be rosy! What a lot of stupidity.
Let's turn our attention to the Senate. Our view is "why
do we continue to have a Senate when we have a House of
Commons to do the legislation?" We wouldn't be happy to
have the Triple E deal for the Senate. Supporters of this
idea want to have Prince Edward Island's 130,000 people
have as many Senate representatives as Ontario's 9 million
people. We don't call that democracy or equality at all. Our
conclusion: Abolish the Senate - we don't need it!
Then there is the constitution itself. The British have ex-
isted for centuries without a constitution and Americans ob-
ject to a constitution with its restrictive rules. It is too bad
otr illustrious Prime Minister Trudeau felt it necessary' to
retire the British system of rule by past experience and
replace it with rigid constitutional rules.
We wish our federal and provincial governments would
get down to basics. We Canadians have a very stable socie-
ty and most of us reject violence as a solution to straighten-
ing out the country's problems.
And as for Quebec, it seems ridiculous that this province
could contemplate separation when it hasn't ever con-
tributed more to Ottawa than it has taken. In other words
Quebec is a "have not" province unlike Ontario. How can
Quebecers expect to survive on their own without the
economic support a( our federal government?
Don't forget in kgal terms Canada owns all Canadian
lands and Quebec really can't leave unless a majority of
Canadians agree to the separation.
The real proaknm today - and in most times - is economic.
Otr suggestions include abolishing the GST monster and
replacing it with 5% income tax increase. 'Then we should
have the Canadian dollar down lot more from the U.S.
dollar so our exporters can have a chance in our biggest ex-
port market - the United States.
Let's stop paying out billions for multicultural grants,
native peapks' grants and mane) to foreign countries when
we are not gang to get an export advantage. Being nice to
the world sounds great - but let's get our economy in shape
first'
Thanks To Supporters
Dear Suuppnrtem:
On behalf of the residents, staff, board and volunteers at
The Emily Stowe Shelter For Women. I would like to thank
all of the people who supported us during the Christmas
season. Your very generous donations of food, clothing.
toys, gifts, and money helped to make the holidays a much
happier time for the women and children who were with us
because of abuse in their homes.
Violence against women and children is a very serious on -
gang social problem and it is only with the assistance from
caring com mummy- members that we can continue to pro-
vide the services we do, especially during these poor
economic times. Your luridness and generosity is always
appreciated. We send special thanks to the City of Scar-
borough Fire Department. Q-ssis Place Banquet Hall and to
the Scarborough Optimist Club who sponsored or
Christmas party.
Also to those companies and individuals who sponsored
our resident and ex -resident families, we couldn't have
done it without you. Thanks so much.

Someone suggesting that we
be constitutionally guaranteed
On right to gunny days would be
considered a kook
After all a country's
consmution a not supposed to
boa., charm to correct all
wrongs. A oonsYlulion is simply
a document which expresses a
nation's most fundamental
values and hys down the rmtaare
by whirl0 governs itself.
How strange, therefore, out
some Canadians are taking
seriously an NDP proposal that
would transform our cohstier tion
into an instrument to guarantee
social programmes.
The NDP, especially Ontario
Premier Bob Rae, is calling bra
so-called social charter which
(would guarantee all Canadians
rte right to receive (government
hand outs.
Just asall Canadians are now
guaranteed treedorn of speech
and association in the Charter
of Rights and Freedoms. the
existence of a social charter
would attempt to guarantee
Canadians the right to receive
such things as housing and food.
That idea is wrong for at least
Vose reasons.
First. eneenchrhg our social
progra ni res would male them

wise to carve our social
prograrnrns in sone. the some
kind of modern day
con. andnents? Coneiderhow

Social Charter
A Dead End
would be had we entrenched a
social charter at confederrion.
A second problem with a
Social isphilosophical.
To say that Canadians should
be guaranteed 'freedom from
homelessness" is a corruption
of the word freedom.
Traditionally, freedom has
meant the ,beano. of the use
of force. Freedom of speech
means being able to speak
freely without the use of threat
of force. 'Freedom from
homeessress', on the other
hand. means one ciizen being
able b force his fellow afters
trough taxes lo house him.
Finally. a soda) charter in
'the oonsatuticn would change
for the worse the way we govern
ourselves. Power to design
sacral programmes and set ilei
coat would out of necessity be
transferred from elected
apresentaInVIS to appointed

On Our Background
Dear Sir
I think J. NkId Laan needs some clarification an his her
historical points. James 6th of Scotland as direct descen-
dant from England's Henry 7th was offered the crown of
England as James 1st. For the next 100 years they were ru-
ed as two separate countries i.e. separate parliaments,
laws. currency and religion.
With the ration act on May 1st 17M t1k Scottish parliament
voted itself out of existence and the resulting country was
declared as Greater Britain or Great Britain. Britain is the
area covered by England and Wales. On Jan 1st 1301
Ireland was brought into partnership and that is where the
United Kingdom or Great Britain and Ireland was created.
I iorthern Ireland only from 1922.1
In 1367 four British colonies, not provinces, came
together to form a self-governing British colony known as
the DDnunion of Canada. The word Dominion. by the way.
was chosen by one of our founding fathers, Sir Leonard
Tilley of Bova Scotia and taken from the Bible. The British
Wer used the word to denote their possessions overseas but
did not apply to the self-governing parts of the empire
Canadians have not been Bntish subjects since the change
in the ciUmenship all in 1978.

Neve diesel generators in remote nertber s Ontario com-
munity
Three diesel generators have been installed at the
isolated Cree community of Kingfisher Lake 500 kilometres
north of Thunder Bay. These generators will provide
residents with a secure power supply under a program that
services remote settlements across Northern Ontario.
Kingfisher Lake is the 22nd community to benefit under the
program.
In the past the community lived with expensive gasoline
generators or in some cases. with no electricity at all.
Bob Rae Made History
Dear Editor,
Bob Rae made history on January 21.
It was the first time that a Premier spoke directly on
television to the people of Ontario. More than 1.5 million On-
tario adults tuned in (more than watched the Super Bowl)
to hear the Premier give some straight talk about the pro-
vince's fiscal outlook and the government's strategy to deal
with these tough times.
It was also the first time that a government has opened
the province's books before a budget. Our government
believes it's every Ontarian's right to see the government's
balance sheet - to see how we raise and borrow the money
we spend.
Cutting back or slashing programs and services is not the
answer to our financial problems. We can't abandon people
in hard times. We have to restructure the services people
need to find a balance between the cost of these services
and what we can afford. These changes will be difficult, but
they are inevitable and if we work together we can be ready
to take advantage of new opportunities.
This isn't something any one sector can do alone.
Everyone needs to get involved. We all have to work
together to find creative ways to maintain services,
streamline operations and preserve jobs. i want to worst
with all the residents of Scarborough East to come up with
innovative. creative strategies that reconstruct services
while preserving jobs.
As Premier Rae said. "Let's get ready for the recovery,
training our young people, investing in our province ... I
have confidence that, if we pull together. the greatest years
for Ontario, and Canada, are still ahead.
Yours sincerely,
Bob Frankford. MD, MPP,
Scarborough East.

Renewable fuels such as hydraulic (water power), Land-

Grier Report On
Greater Toronto Area
Ruth Grier, Minister
responsible for the Office
for The Greater Toronto
Area (OGTA), has released
a report which outlines the
consensus reached bet-
ween the Greater Toronto
Area's (GTA) five regional
and 30 area municipalities
and the province on a
cooperative approach to
planning the future growth
of the GTA.
`Growing Together' sum-
marizes the results of ex-
terhsive consultations with
the municipalities on Ur-
ban Structure Concepts - a
study commissioned by the
OCTA. The paper also
highlights points of agree`
Ment with two other major
reports on the GTA - The
Royal Commission on the
Future of the Toronto
Waterfront and a study of
Options for a Greater
Toronto Area Greenlands
Strategy.
The paper points to an
emerging consensus on a
progressive vision for the
future of the GTA, with
particular emphasis on
supporting ecosystem in-
tegrity in all urban plann-
ing decision. Recognizing
the cumulative impact of
development - especially
on the GTA's environment -
the province and the
municipalities agree on.
among other important
issues, ending urban
sprawl, refocusing urban
design on achieving truly
livable urban en-
vironments, and stressing
natural rather than ad-
ministrative boundaries in
ping processes.
In January, 1992, the pro-
vinew government will go
a further step towards
achieving consensus on
specific action by releas-
iqg a working paper which
details the values and prin-
ciples which will determine
future provincial decisions
on, among other issues,
land use planning, housing
densities, transit and road-
way expansions, capital
planning structures, and
sewer and water resource
development.
The OGTA has also set up
six working groups com-
prised of municipal and
provincial staff to explore
how these new values will
affect provincial and local
decisions on specific areas
of concern. These working
groups are focused on ur-
ban form, countryside,
human services, economic
vitality, infrastructure and
investment planning
mechanisms.
Their full reports and
recommendations will be
published in the spring, and
will serve as a focus for
public consideration,
through future workshops
and seminars, of new im-
peratives on housing den-
sities. transit and roadway
expansion, provision of
human services and other
critical regional growth
decisions affecting the
GTA
The GTA includes the
Region of Halton. Ped,
York, Durham and the
Municipality of
Metropolitan Toronto and
has been growing at an
average rate of 75,000 new
residents a year. It is an-
ticipated that the popuha-
bon of the GTA will grow
by two million by the year
2021, from about four
million today.

On Peace Of Mind
A unique symposium is
being organized in Toronto
on Sat. Feb. ath at York
Memorial Collegiate to
highlight how to achieve
peace of mind in modern
times. The symposium pro-
vides a wonderful oppor-
tunity to the seekers of
peace of mind in this age of
turbulence and agitation.
Scholars of leading world
religions have been invited
to speak on the subject to
outline how their respec-
tive religion addresses the
question of the peace of
mind. The real peace of
mind is something which
kings can not give.
philosophers can not pro-
vide, the business woad
does not sell it, and m
amount of wealth can buy
it.
The central idea of the
symposium is to afford the
opportunity to the scholars
of various religions to ex-
plain salient features how
their religion provides
their followers the real
peace of mind.

Bill Watt's Worlds
AT THE OPERA:
Over the years -too many
upon reflection -this
reviewer has never allowed
himself the luxurylaziness
of predisposed approach to
any work of art. We have
neer given a fig for others'
assessments of them.
This is by way of saying
that we dispute the alloca-
tion of Charles Gounod
below or just at the salt of
opera composers. Though
his output is thought by
some to have been slight
numerically, it remains
strong musically. One most
certainly shares his
credo -"Melody alone
counts in music ... melody.
always melody'
That said, allow us to
turn journalistic cart-
wheels over the Canadian
Opera Company's produc-
tion of Romeo ei Juliette at
The O'Keefe.
We had -word of honour -
never seen the opera
before. After viewing it,
one can say only that for
those who have never seen
any opera -excusable in the
very young. deplorable in
the mature -this is the one
for a premier experience.
The story line is familiar
and not difficult to follow
with or without the COC's
excellent surtitles. So one
is enabled to explore
nuances of character
rather more than is the
case with many operas . .
pathological hatred of
Tybalt for the Montagues,
the essetftial nobility of le
p?re de Juliette, the grand-
ness of the Duke of Verona.
Of cause, these aren't ma-
jor roles -those belong to the
titlists-but such is the
measure of the Barbier,
Carne libretto that they
seem so. And, almost as
much as in the
Shakespeare play.
Then. there is the truly
glorious Gounod music.
One is bathed in the melody
of it, refreshed rather than
diminished by its passion.
Indeed, one -this one
anyway -believes that
Gourad's Romeo et Juliette
would be enjoyable even
with paucity of production.
Blessed, however. with the
lushness of this offering of-
fertory, it becomes, it
becomes. . .well, it
becomes an unforgettable
experience, one that -dare
we say it? -one could
remember with pleasure at
the moment when soul
leaves body.
The cast gives full
measure and even more of
delight to the score.
Hei-Ky ung Hong is
Juliette. We mean she real-
ly is Juliette: young but
with the maturity demand-
ed of the times. innocent
but ardent, lush lv sweet
like a peach at fust taste.

is vivacious, her inter-
pretation is introspective,

Marcello Giordani sang
the part of Romeo with a
strength all too often
neglected in the role. His
Romeo is strong, robust
and noble. none of the
petulance seen in some in-
terpretations. He is, in a
word, virile. Yet, such is
the tone of his superb tenor
that his love for Juliette
while powerful. has an inef-
fable sweetness about it. A
Cine performance.
Indeed, all the perfor-
mances were all that could
be desired and one wishes
it were possible to wax
rhapsodic over them in-
dividually. Though it's not
possible (we refuse to
miniaturize) there are two
that we wish to single out.

small role as one of the

given to him, thereby
allowing the singers to be
heard and seen to full au-
dience advantage.

ON T.V.:
We are somewhat more
than fed up with most talk
show hosts. Their calls are
screened, there is a six to
eight second time tape lag
and, what's more, a caller
can be cut off when ever
the host finds himself in dif-
ficulty. Yet, most of them
come across as oracles of
great wisdom.
Ed Needham on CFRB
was the arguable worst but
we think his more or less
successor Charles Adler
might just equal him in
assumed pontification. It
seems to us more than just
coincidental that he is also
the host of another show
titled Predators and Prey.
He's busy. though, and
we should mention arnotber
of his
Television enterprises. put together
12 one hour specials called
Your Canada" in which
people from all across the
country express their
views an what should be the
finest country in the world.
The host is Charles
Adler. Let ds hope he's not
as obnoxious on camera
where he can be seen as be
sometimes is on radio
where he cannot.
The show begins this Sun-
day at to p.m_
Earlier in the day -3 p.m,
to be specific- CHCH is
showing an old Charles
Bronson fair meller titled
Breakout. It's standard
Branson fare but is com-
mended to your attention
because of the cast which
includes John Huston,
Robert Duvall and Jill
Ireland in what we believe
might have been her last
screen appearance.
She was married to
Charles Bronson and died
tragically young of cancer.
ON RECORD:
Just Received:
Shake Spirit by Frozen
Ghost ( WEA) . The name of
this Canadian Rock group
has always seemed to the
writer to sum up the
essence of Brian Mulroney
and that it would be a
suitable nom de plume
should he ever turn his at-
tention to the creation of
the spoken word.
We are certain of that
now after reading these
words by Arnold Lanni, a
member of the group.
"Songwriting, for me, is a
Process that I can't ex-
plain". Substitute the word
leadership for songwriting
and one has a perfect ex-
pository of Mr. Mulroney
or, come to think of it, Mr.
Rae or M. Chhretien or. .
.almost anyone in this
country's government.
Ceaarahest:
In the post recently we
received a brochure for a
stereo system. It was stan-
dard blab and ordinarily
we'd not have given it nate
than passing attention. Our
interest was piqued,
however. by the advice that
the system included a belt
driven turntable for record
collectors -for record col-
lectors! This is a supposed
boon for theliac like us who
are trying to re-record old
favourites on to cassettes
and eventually to CDs
when technology permits
the latter.
The brochure went on to
state, however, that the
turntable operates only at
speeds of 45 and 33 (sic! )
RPMs. Well, isn't that just
James bloody dandy! What
does one do about the 78s?
Isn't there any manufac-
turer who still produces a
turntable that can revolve
at 78 RPMs?
And, while we're on our
David Horowitz stump,
how much longer will the
poor benighted consumer
be able to purchase record
needles? Or, are they tea
destined to go the way of
ink blotters?
FAST EXIT:
On a recent lazy Sunday,
we prepared a new chicken
dish. The chicken parts
were placed in a buttered
baking dish. Then a mix-
ture of half cola and half
tomato ketchup (no
foolin' !) was poured over
them.
While baking at 350
degrees F. for stout an
hour, they were basted
with the same mixture to
ensure crispness.
The dish is delicious and
we have named it coq au
cola. Now, if we could only
register that as a trade
mark.

SPECIAL TOUCH TO VALENTINE'S DAY!
Valentinc's Day is just around

you're pnobably thinking of some
way to say "1 love you" to sanc-
one special in your life.
A romantic dinner for two, with
all the trimmings will make a per-
fect statement.
The meal" Something simpic but
elegant. The wine" Frcnch, of
course. I suggest that an ideal
choice for this evening would be a
delightful Bordeaux from Cruse.
Since 1819. the Cruse passion
for quality ha% allowed them to
present uncompromisingly excel-
lent wines from the key producing
regions of France at surprisingly
affordable prices.
This week, we will be enjoying
an elegant vintage Crusc White
Bordeaux, iL% taste is that of a
delicately structured Sauvignon,
slightly fruity with a vivid finish
and excellent balance.
Also featured, a Cruse Red
Bordeaux, fragrant with the
memory of ripe black currants_
Skillfully blended, this is, not a
heavy wine yet its harmony makes
it a perfect choice for a very special
occasion.
Both of these fine offerings from
Cruse drink superbly and are key
ingredients in this week's featured
recipes.
Seafood Newburg Supreme is oh
so classically elegant and fit for the
true romantic.
Deluxe Gourmet Chili features
the Red Bordeaux and is a perfect
way to warm things up on a mid-
February eve.
This year, touch the heart of your

Valentine's Day Belongs
To Everyone!
ELEGANT BORDEAUX WINES, GIVE THAT
SPECIAL TOUCH TO VALENTINE'S DAY!
Valentinc's Day is just around
the corner. and like most folks,
you're pnobably thinking of some
way to say "1 love you" to sanc-
one special in your life.
A romantic dinner for two, with
all the trimmings will make a per-
fect statement.
The meal" Something simpic but
elegant. The wine" Frcnch, of
course. I suggest that an ideal
choice for this evening would be a
delightful Bordeaux from Cruse.
Since 1819. the Cruse passion
for quality ha% allowed them to
present uncompromisingly excel-
lent wines from the key producing
regions of France at surprisingly
affordable prices.
This week, we will be enjoying
an elegant vintage Crusc White
Bordeaux, iL% taste is that of a
delicately structured Sauvignon,
slightly fruity with a vivid finish
and excellent balance.
Also featured, a Cruse Red
Bordeaux, fragrant with the
memory of ripe black currants_
Skillfully blended, this is, not a
heavy wine yet its harmony makes
it a perfect choice for a very special
occasion.
Both of these fine offerings from
Cruse drink superbly and are key
ingredients in this week's featured
recipes.
Seafood Newburg Supreme is oh
so classically elegant and fit for the
true romantic.
Deluxe Gourmet Chili features
the Red Bordeaux and is a perfect
way to warm things up on a mid-
February eve.
This year, touch the heart of your
true love, with a wonderful meal.
Happy Valentine's Day!

Teach Students About Kidney Disease _
The Kidney Foundation
of Canada and Sun Life
Assurance Company of
Canada have recruited two
puppets to help educate
young Scarborough
students about kidney func-
tion and kidney disease.
Ronny and Libby are the
stars of the Kidney
Awareness program
(K.A.P.) a travelling pup-
pet show aimed at children
in kindergarten to grade
six.
The program shows
youngsters what the
l idiieys look like, where
they are located, and why
the body needs them. And it
does this in a fun, yet sen-
sitive manner.
An integral part of
K.A.P. is the "Tinkle
Test", a special take-home
test kit given to each child.

Pursuit of Conservation Targets Threatens
Energy Supply
According to Thornton Lou nsbury, former chairman of
the Association of Major Power Caasumers. "the future
availability of a reliable source of electricity at cost has
become a major concern." The NDP government is follow-
ing a somewhat naive belief that conservation will
eliminate the need for new energy development. Hydro's
own 25 year consumption forecast predicts a 50 per cent in-
crease in electrical demand with an accompanying loss of
25 per cent of the present generating capacity. If the Rae
government believes that energy conservation is enough to
maintain a reliable supply of energy at stable prices, they
are sorely mistaken.
Modernization and environmentally -friendly
technological advances can make an operation more
energy intensive. Falconbnidge, for example, has installed
continuous copper smelting using oxygen enrichment at
their Kidd Creek facility in Timmins. The process, which
makes the operation one of the cleanest metallurgical sites
in Canada, has increased their electrical energy consump-
tion in the smelter by over fifty per rest.
The Rae government is failing to develop any new
sources of electricity.
NDP Eves Pension Reform As New Area To
Impose Regulation
An issue set to emerge as a key policy area for the NDP is
pension reform. Current reforms being considered revolve
around three main areas: surplus ownership, inudexat.—
and the way private sector pensiios are managed. With
pressure already being puit on law -wage labour-intesive in-
dustry, moves to fulfill NDP promises could lead to job loss
rather than wage improvement.
The media has reported the NDP is considering using
pension fundis to finance Ontario's recovery. Apparently
patterned after the Caisse de depot et placement du
Quebec, the government has been quietly making plans to
establish a similar investment agency in Ontario using
public sector funds and private sector fug co -managed by
unions. To "encourage" other private sector funds to par-
ticipate, the government is rumoured to be considering
changes to legislation forcing employers to grant their
workers co -management rights over pension funds. It is
feared that such an agency might become too munch the
vehicle of government policy, which, by virtue of its poten-
tial size, could grossly affect Ontario's investment climate.
While all the (changes the NDP propose to make are not
yet known, it's clear business will have to fight hard if it
wants to be heard by Bob Rae on this issue.
Government Ignores Reality Of The
Marketplace: trilling Border Economies
Ontario last S2 -billion in retail sales in 1990 to the United
States_ In one month alone (June 1991), an estimated 5.3
million bargain -hunters crossed the line - a 17.4 per cent
jump from the same period last year. It gets worse. Cross-
border shopping is expected to cast Ontario t3 -billion in 1991
with a loss of 14,000 jobs.
The tax increases that have and will accompany govern-
ment spending sprees make it impossible for business to
compete with American counterparts. During their five
years in office, the Liberal government increased spending
by an average 10% annually. The NDP plan a 13.4% spen-
ding increase this year, with huge deficits planned for the
next three years. Mike Harris' Caucus warned both the
Liberal and the NDP government that escalating cross-
border shopping is a symptom of the larger problem of On-
tario's weak competitive position.
The Mike Harris Task Force on the Ontario Budget,
created in response to the Spring 1991 NDP budget, took
recommendations from border -community business people
and presented them to the all -party committee on cross-
border shopping. Our recommendations included a har-
monization of the PST with the GST and a decrease in the
gasoline tax rate to off -set any additional revenue gained
through harmonization. The government rejected our pro-
posals.
Sunday Shopping: Bill 115 The NDP Clouds The
Issue
This past spring, the NDP introduced their new Sunday
Shopping legislation, Bill 115, which essentially re-
established the much -hated Liberal law with some addi-
tional riders. The bill outlines a series of criteria, which an
area and business must meet, before a municipality can
pass a by-law recognizing a "tourist area" and allowing
Sunday slapping. Both the bill and the criteria met with
derision from representatives on all sides of the issue.
In response to these complaints, the government an-
nounced, on September 27, 1991 a series of amendments to
the bill. In doing so. they placed additional burden on the
already backlogged Ontario court system and the Ontario
Municipal Board ( OMB) . Presently. the OMB has a 12 to 13
month backlog and some 35.000 cases have been thrown out
of Ontario's court system because of lengthy delays in br-
inging cases to trial.
The NDP amendments:
- will require municipalities to hold public hearings before
passing a Sunday shopping by -low;
- will permit "any person" who objects to a Sunday shopp-
ing by-law to appeal the by-law to the OMB.
- will empower the OMB to either dismiss the appeal,
dismiss the appeal on the condition that the council amend
the by-law in a manner specified by the OMB or quash the
by-law;
- will suspend the comping into fare of a by-law until either
the day on which all appeals against the by-law have been
dismissed or until the day the by-law has been amended in
the manner specified by the OMB:
- will add a new inuumum fine of 15,000 for a third or subse-
quent offence; and,
- will allow "any interested person.. to apply to the courts
for an order to close a retail business open on a holiday in
contravention of the Act or a by-law under the Act.
Under the amendments. OMB decisions will not be ap-
pealable to Cabinet,
bacteria in the urine, a
stepping stone to kidney
disease. This procedure is
acted out in the puppet
show and has produced
tremendous results. The
return rate of the test kits
is over 70% with approx-
imately 2% of all those
tested being diagnosed
with bacteria in their urine.
"Early detection is one of
the best ways for preven-
ting kidney disease,"
states Susan Baldwin, Pro-
gram Co-ordinator for
K.A.P.
"By catching children at
this stage, we can stop the
bacteria from spreading in-
to their kidneys," she con-
tinues. Baldwin, a
registered nurse, also acts
as Ronny and Libby's
mother and narrator of the
show.

of February reaching over
15,000 children.

Ontario Breast Screening
Program's six week public
awareness campaign laun-
ched on Jan. 13th.
Women of all cultures,
who are 50 years and over,
are encouraged to take
responsibility for their
health by going for no -cast
breast screening at any one
of the 10 breast screening
centres around the pro-
vince. Screening at the cen-
tres includes physical ex-
amination by a nurse and a
state of the art mam-
mogram ( low dose x-ray of
the breast).
One in ten Canadian
women will develop breast
caner in their lifetime and
the risk increases with age.
Early detection is essential
for effective treatment and
cure. The ultimate goal of
the Ontario Breast Screen-
ing Program is to reduce
breast cancer mortality by
approximately 40% in
women age 50 and over.
This will save more than
300 lives each year in On-
tario.

Iron Key Factor In Performance
Iron deficiency in active
individuals has been well
documented. It causes
fatigue, irritability and
listlessness. "Iron deficien-
cy is even more common in
athletes than in the general
population," says Dr.
Marielle Ledoux, Chair-
man of the Sport Nutrition
Advisory Committee
(SNAC) of the Sport
Medicine Council of
Canada. "In fact, about
one-third of elite athletes
show decreased iron stores
and eight percent show
true iron deficiency
anemia."
Dr. Ledoux made her
comments at the recent
launch of "Sport Nutrition
for the Athletes of
Canada". An interactive
video and workbook pro-
gram, Sport Nutrition for
the Athletes of Canada was
designed for Canada's
athletes and their coaches
to improve their knowledge
of sound nutrition and to
help them reach and main-
tain performance
According to I.edoux,
iron is an essential compo-
nent of hemoglobin,
responsible for the
transport of oxygen to all
body cells to release
energy from the food that
we eat. "Adequate iron
stores. necessary for op-
timal energy metabolism.

mance in sport," added
have shown that correction
of iron deficiency aoernia
results in improved
athletic performances.
Restoration of adequate
lino levels in iron deficient

Ledoux also stated that
not au iron is created
equal- Therefore close at-
tention should be paid to
the quality of iron in the
diet, not just the quantity.
"High quality hemle iron
found in meat sources is
more easily utilized by the

ditionally, meat in the diet
increases the absorption of
iron from other foods.
..We've devoted a full
chapter in the workbook to
iron, ILS best sources and
how to incorporate it into a
balanced diet,"
acknowledged I.Adomn. "It
is surprising the number of
coaches and athletes who
are unaware of the
metabolic differences bet-
ween heme and non-heme

many coaches mistakenly
discourage their athletes
from eating red meat."
And how do the athletes
make sure they are getting

I was 15," says swimmer,
Mark Tewksbury, 1968
Summ e,r Olypmics, silver
medalist. "The reason was
that I did not have enough
red meat in my diet. Even
though I was taking iron
supplements, they weren't
being absorbed by my
body. For the past year,
I've made sure that I have
red meat at least two to
three times a week."
"Including meat in my
diet gives me a little more
of a lift in my day -today
activites," says Christine
Haugh, 1990 pairs figure
skating champion and
Olympic contender. "When
I wasn't eating property I
wasn't getting enough iron.
I found that I was a lot
more tired and really pale.
I had stopped eating red
meat because I though it
was high in calories. I
didn't think I was depriving
myself of anything, but ac-
tually I was depriving
myself of iron and some of
the nutrients I needed for
strength building. especial-
ly in training."
Olympic contenders need
iron for peak performance.
But what about the test of
us? If we're not interested
in becoming high perfor-
mance athletes, should we
be concerned about the
amount of iron in our diets?
The answer is yes. Iron

prove our energy levels, so

Edison Winter Home
A Most Unique Property
by Bob Watson
One of the very in-
teresting places for a
visitor to view in Fort
Myers, Florida is the
Edison Winter Home.
When you visit this uni-
que property, you enter a
world unlike any you have
ever seen. The furnishings
and the architecture of
these gracious, rambling
buildings are reminiscent
of a bygone era, yet there
are many innovations
which we do not have in the
most modern homes. The
inventive genius of Edison
is evident throughout his 14
acre riverfront estate.
Thomas Edison, world
famous for his inventions of
the incandescent lamp and
phonograph, made an im-
portant decision in his life
when he took a vacation to
Florida in 1884.
But he went to St.
Augustine in northern
Florida where the winter
weather was cold and
dreary. So in 18115 he went
south to the little village of
Fort Myers along the
bamboo -lined bunks of the
Caloosahatchee river.
Edison liked this
tropical. peaceful area so
much he bought a 14 acre

Edison's very own Model T
Ford given to him by his
friend Henry Ford, is a cen-

Many of the personal
belongings of the Edison
Family can be seen in the

museum. Furnishings from
the New Jersey home and
treasured photographs and
paintings are on display.

A Wald Of Trees
Edison's tropical
botanical garden, his
beloved hobby and one of
the most complete in
America, contains more
than 1000 varieties of plants
imported from all over the
world.
This was an expert men-
tal garden - not planted for
beauty or aesthetic value.
Edison was interested in
the various products and
by products that the
unusual plants yielded.
The garden has flourish-
ed into a fantasy of rare
and beautiful trees and
plants. each planted years
ago by Mr. Edison.
The banyan tree, which
was two inches in diameter
when Harvey Firestone
brought it to Edison from
India in 1925, is now more
than 400 feet around the
mink.
Rubber Supply
After World War I Edison
predicted another war and

ber supply. Firestone and
Ford financed the genius of

In the large chemical

Travel Industry Launches Promotion
Twenty-two of Canada's
largest travel and
hospitality companies have
banded together to form
..Experience Canada: The
Partnership for Canadian
Travel".
The Experience Canada
partnership is the largest
private -sector initiative of
its kind in Canadian
history, bringing together
leading hotels, airlines. car
rental. ground
carriers and charge card
companies under the Ex-
perience Canada umbrella.
Partner companies are
corrinitting to a miaianun
of $50 -million in travel sav-
ings to Canadian business
and leisure travellers
through discounts and
value-added promotions in
1992. This could reach $100
million.
"We have formed this
partnership because the
travel and hospitality in-
dustry in this country is in
serious trouble," said
Michael Beckley, Chair-
man of Experience Canada
and president and COO of
Comnhonwealth Hospitality
Ltd., the largest hotel
management company in
Canada and operator of
Holiday Inn, Radisson and
Skyline hotels. "If
somebody doesn't do
something about it, the
ramifications will be felt in
terms of businesses and
jobs lost. And this will have
a domino effect that is ex-
tremely negative on prac-
tically every sector and in-
dividual in Canada...
Tourism is a 526 -billion
industry in Canada respon-
sible for close to 650,000
direct jobs. Over 60,000
Canadian businesses
derive their income, or a
substantial part of their in-
come, from tourism. In
1990, Canada's national
tourism account showed a
deficit of $5.2 billion.
The fust in a series of on-
going promotionis planned
by Experience Canada is a
Two -for -One Valentine's
Weekend promotion. Part-
ner companies are offering
a two-for-one promotion on
travel ( air, train and bra ) ,
hotel rooms and car rentals
to Canadian destinations.
..One of our solutions to
the decline in Canadian
travel is to pull together as
an industry and make it
more affordable and at-
tractive for Canadians to
travel within Canada,"
said Beckley. "We are put-
ting down our competitive
swords, developing
strategic alliances and
pooling our marketing
skills and distribution net-
works to create a rallying
cry and a reason to buy .
The partners are going to
aggressively sell Canada to
Canadians because we
believe in the product -
Canada. "
Experience Canada part-
ners will be offering pro-
motional packages to
business and leisure
travellers alike throughout
1992. Promotions will be of-
fered by the entire partner-
ship or as joint promotions
between partners or by inn
dividual partners under the
Experience Canada ban-
ner. A marketing commit-
tee has also been formed to
involve companies outside
the travel industry.
Experience Canada is a
private -sector partnership
comprised of the 22 leading
travel and hospitality com-
panies in Canada. Its pur-
pose is to promote Cana-
dian business and leisure
travel to Canadians.

wm Rene Soetens, M.P.
The GST is a cash cow. It is another unnecessary govern-
ment tactic to fill Ottawa's coffers. These are some of the
skepticisms that were evident when the GST was first pass-
ed. Even today, after being in effect for a year, there are
still misconceptions about the tax.
The GST was developed as part of an overdue reform of
Canada's tax system. Far-reaching changes were
necessary to increase the fairness of the tax system and its
capacity to provide assistance to Canadians in need. Also,
these reforms had to take into account the continuing need
for a stable source of revenue. The GST was clearly a part
of this reform.
The GST replaced the old Federal Sales Tax, which was a
hidden tax with a variable rate ranging from 4% to 19%.
The FST damaged competitiveness, favoured imports over
Canadian made goods and distorted consumer choices. The
GST is easier to implement, promotes greater com-
petitiveness among Canadian -made products in Canada
and abroad and is a fairer tax. Hopefully, we can convince
more provinces to harmonize their tax with the GST which
would be beneficial to all.
In regards to the use of GST revenues, there is currently a
bill before the House of Commons that will establish the
Debit Servicing and Reduction Account. This fund will be
comprised of net revenues from the GST, as well as net
revenues from the sale of Crown Corporations and dona-
tions to the Crown. Revenues in the account will only be us-
ed to pay interest on the public debt and eventually to pay
down the net debt. This will ensure that money raised by the
GST will not be used to pay for new programs and services.
The Auditor General will audit this account to confirm that
GST funds are only used for the servicing of the debt_
In the first six months of implementation, the GST has
garnered $7.3 billion, with a year -keg projection of $16.4
billion. As the February 1991 budget predicted $16.35 billim
w year-long GST revenues. this shows that we are on
target. Transitional payments to small businesses were
necessary for the first six months that the new tax was in ef-
fect- Revenues will increase in the latter half of the year
since these payments are no low applicable, and also due
to the anticipated upswing in the economy,
I believe that this explains the logic behind the tax that
many people view as an extra burden on their lives. The
GST may not be a popular success, but it is going a long way
to getting Canada off the treadmill of debt that it has been
an for over two decades.
