February 5, 1992 Opinion a page for expression for you and us 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. Brenda G.

DAVID SOMERVILLE 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Her trills are true, her vibrato is vivacious, her inter- pretation is introspective, not introverted. Her rendi- tion of the well known Song, Jest, perfume and dance gave a thrill to this auditor W vouchsafed since the first time we heard it stung by Lily Pons. Oh yes, this sailor's in love again. 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. James Patterson is a most compassionate Frere Laurent and Steven Host impressed in his relatively small role as one of the Capulet retainers. Jacques Delac6te con- ducted the orchestra with a rine, rum hand and Stage Director Bernard Uzan maximized the staging given to him, thereby allowing the singers to be heard and seen to full au- dience advantage. Rondo et Juliette will be presented again this Fn - day and Sunday. We can say only, don't miss it. ON VOLR TOES: Among the creation of Shakespeare (actually, they were Marlowe's in our opinion) thee can hardly be two mac disparate than Juliet and Kate of The Taming of the Shrew. Opening on Feb. 13th at The O'Keefe will be the .Na- tional Ballet's new produc- tion of John Cranko's Tam- ing of the Shrew. Ibis is truly another must see pro- duction.

This is certainly going to be a most successful pro- duction but, as mentioned earlier, we will not Predispose ourself. One expects there will be no protests by feminist groups over the presenta- tion. Most of then have never read Shakespeare [bough it does seem that many of them are shrews. Ballet British Columbia, Reid Anderson's alma mater, sort of, will be ap- pearing at the Premiere Dance Theatre from Feb. 18th to the 22nd. worts to be presented are Zero Hour by Barry Ingham, Glen Tetley's Mythical Hunters and William Forsythe's in the middle, somewhat elevated. The lack of capitalization is not outs; that's the way Mr. For- sythe wishes the ballet to be titled. Clever as hell eh? We'll say no more. 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. t 3Iofurre of Orton Farh Wide selection of bouquets and roses for your Valentine CITY WIDE DELIVERY Order early 135 Orton Park Rd. 289-1108 Valentine Balloon Bouquets Roses Stuffed Animals 3133 Sheppard Ave.E.

Business Community News] Honour Truffles Chefs For Menus The Four Seasons Hotel Toronto's fine dining restaurant Truffles is the only restaurant in Canada recently ranked among the "Top 25 Hotel Menus" in North America by Chefs In America. Susan Weaver, the hotel's award-winning ex- ecutive chef, is also the on- ly executive chef in a Cana- dian restaurant to be listed in this first annual survey, published in `Menu: Amer'ica's Portfolio 1991, The Top 25 Hotel Menus." Overall, Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts had the best hotel company show- ONTARIO PC LEADER ing with six other Four Seasons properties receiv- ing this prestigious distinc- tion including: The Pierre, New York; Four Seasons Ritz-Carlton, Chicago; Four Seasons Clift Hotel, San Francisco; Four Seasons Houston Center, Houston; and Four Seasons Hotels - Los Angeles and Philadelphia. Only 25 hotel menus were selected from more than 2,000 establishments. Nominations were submit- ted to the National Ex- ecutive Director of Chefs In America, an executive chef himself, who visits more than 20 cities in North America annually before making a final decision. Criteria for the honour were based on two distinct factors; the creativity of the menu and the reputa- tion of the restaurant's ex- ecutive clef. Truffles restaurant is also the proud recipient of a variety of other awards including the Wine Spec- tator's Award of Ex- cellence, the Litt Restaurant Guide's top ten list of restaurants, and the 1991 Printing Excellence Award for Truffles' elegantly designed dinner menu. Wed. February 5. 1992 THE NEWS/POST Page 9 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. The Tinkle Test checks for Mike Harris Business Report 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. The Kidney Awareness Program will visit 50 Scar- borough schools by the end of February reaching over 15,000 children. New Chairman Elected At Seneca College Effective Jan. 1st L.

" Amy. who worts on the race relations committee at George Vanier Seem- dary School. where she is in Campaign Motivates Women To Save Their Own Lives "After All - It's Your Life" is the theme of the 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. Administered by the On- tario Cancer Treatment and Research Foundation and funded by the Ontario Ministry of Health, the On- tario Breast Screening Pro- gram has centres in Hamilton, Kingston, Lon- don, North York, Ottawa, Scarborough, Sudbury, Thunder Bay, Toronto, and Windsor.

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. are key for peak perfor- 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 female rumens increased their running endurance times significantly. „ 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.

"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.

"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.

( travel 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 estate on the river. He built a home with a huge breezevray and large por dues designed for tropical living. In 086 he brought his bride, Mina Miller Edison to Fort Myers and they wintered there. The Florida winters may have contributed to his long life because be died at age SC The Edison Museum A fascinating part of the tour of the Edison Estate is a visit to the Mtaetim. The four large rooms of the Museum house the world's finest collection of Edison's inventions. On display are hundreds of phonographs, batteries, the ticker tape machine, movie projec- tors, and a vast array of tight bulbs. There are the oldest, largest, and smallest of light bulbs. Some of the very first Christmas lights are on may. Children enjoy seeing the first 'talking doll' invented by Edison and giver[ as a gift to a friend's child. Edison even invented and manufactured children's furniture and there are =__=�w VACATION SAVINGS 10.50% OFF WOODSIDE SOUARE 24 HOURS 298'8006 NOVA TRAVEL LTD.

Edison's very own Model T Ford given to him by his friend Henry Ford, is a cen- tre piece of the newet sec- tion of the museurn. There are family cars - an early model Cadillac and a Brewster - and a 3 horse fire pumper for car en- thusiasts. Many of the personal belongings of the Edison Family can be seen in the family section of the museum. Furnishings from the New Jersey home and treasured photographs and paintings are on display. After touring the horses, gardens, and laboratory, the museum seems to sum up the life of this great in- ventor. Visitors get an in- sight into the genius and creativity of this man of vi- sion. 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 the loss of America's rub- ber supply. Firestone and Ford financed the genius of Edison as be experimented with the goldenrod weed as a source of rubber. Through crossbreeding and development, he pro- duced a gigantic strain which grew 14 feet tall. had as much as 12% rubber and coWd be harvested in a single season. In the large chemical lab, which is today one of the most absorbing features of the Edison Estate, Edison pioneered the modern synthetic rub- ber indtatry. If you take a visit to Florida try to go to the Fort Myers area in the southwestern part of the state on the Gulf of Mex- ico. It is a most intriguing property with all kinds of things to see_ Canadian Holidays is a good outfit to take you to the sunny south in Fort Myers.

( Photo - Bob Watson 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. Message To Parents Parenting is one of the most important activities in your life.

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.
