On Monday. His Honour Lt. Governor Henry Jackman joined -Scarborough Board of Education officials• students singing in a choir and a school orchestra in the civic centre for the official opening ceremonies. On Thursday Judge Tom Turner will hold a Court of Canadian Citizenship for 50 Scarborough residents. We trust that in the schools this is called "Canadian" Heritage Reek and not just Heritage Week. Too often we Canadians seem to be afraid to emphasize and rave about our Canadian past and so let newcomers to our glorious land feel that only they have a heritage to celebrate. Let's get this beautiful country unified with a feeling for our heritage as well as our future.

Johnston NDP Labour Proposals Not Welcomed The CPIA of Toronto and southwestern Ontano says that after reviewing the provincial government's proposed reforms of the Ontario Labour Relations AM, it is "unable to find one single proposal 1 of 40) which we are able to en- dorse." In response to the proposals put forward by the New Democrat government this past fall, the Toronto and Southwestern Ontario branch of the Canadian Punting In- dustries :association , CPIA , stated. "Legislation. whether actual or potential, which could have a negative effect m the decisions of corporate leaders to invest in Ontario is not required. This will only lead to a further loss of jobs in our industry and the loss of future employment opportunities for the youth of Ontario.'* The association has elsewhere said that if the proposed changes were imrplenIented. Ontario would likely lose SM billion in business investment over the next five years, with thousands of jobs being last in the process. "Further tampering. by government. with the delicate balance of management labour relations, to benefit large international union, can only result in further. and rapid erosion of our competitive position. What this means to On- tano is quite simple - firms will locate elsewhere. ••slur unwillingness to endorse ithe government's 'preferred approaches' to union reform is rooted in the fact that the proposals total!} fail to address the needs or re- quirements of our industry or any of the needs of industry. in general, in the province of Ontario."

Mainstream Canada A bad record to break Bi- Michael K'veks The numbers are in and the results are staggering. Last year proved to be a record- breaking one, but regrettably, the record was for bankrupt- cies. There were75,773 of them during the year, the highest amount ever and a 39 per cent jump over 1990. Broken down, consumer bankruptcies totalled 62,277, while business insolvencies climbed to 13,496. Somber statistics like these are a clear reflection of the pain being felt right across the country. This type of devastation has not been sen or felt in Canada since the last recession of the early 1980s. However, today's numbers are far worse. Why? Taking a closer look at events of a decade ago, the recession then was spurred by a 150 per cart increase in international oil prices between late 1978 and 1980. This cut into real income and stimulated inflation. The federal government. and indeed most governments in the indus- trialized world, responded biy tightening monetary and fiscal policy in an effort to prevent a domestic wage/price spvaL That policy then resulted in a loss of output and high levels of tmempbvment. Although it was called the worst recession since world War 11. the reality u only 60 per cent of Canada's economy was hit, albeit hard, by the economic downturn of 1981-82. The western provinces and the Maritimes suffered most; Ontario and Quebec struggled through and emerged relatively intact. According to Catherine Swift, senior vice president, prcnincial affairs for the Cana- dian Federation of Independent Business, Canada's present ecoeomv is quite different from what it was 10 years ago. "The conditions we face today present a unique and momentous challenge to Cana- dians," Swift says. "We have an ongoing restructuring of the world's economies. We have the free trade agreement. We have the Goods and Services Tax and other ill -tinted and ill-conceived government initiatives. We have a high dollar and high interest rates (relative to the US.), which are lethal to our exporting sec- tors. All of these factors and more are adding to the litany of bankruptcies. "No region has been able to escape this recession," adds Swift. "Ontario, which served as the country's economic engine, has sputtered and stalled. Quebec is languishing. The Atlantic provinces are get- ting clobbered and out west only B.C. and Alberta seem to be weathering the storm. The situation is extremely alarming.- Not larming."Not to be ignored in the whole debate, Swift argues, is the massive escalation in pro- gram expenditures the provin- cial governments undertook between 1984 and 1991. The annual provincial average was a whopping 7.4 per cert, with Ontario leading the pad spend- ing in owess of 10.5 per cant annually. The federal govern- ment finally started to exhibit some long-awaited restraint by bolding spending growth to about fou per cent during the same period. Swift outlines how this results in bankruptcies. —When governments spend like drunken sailor, the already wearied taxpayer ends up foot- ing the bill," six says- "Taxes, go up and up to pay for govern- ment-enginieered deficits and when the burden becomes too heavy, busirxsses and consum- er are forced to pack it in and declare bankruptcy." Bankruptcy figures for December of last year were lower than November's and there's some hope this trend will continue The tide must be stemmed now before any more records are broken- CFe Fwaun Se wc.

Off Season Killings By Natives Could Hurt Species The off-season killing of wild turkeys by some Ontario In- dians could affect the rehabilitation of the species, says the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters (OFAH). In re- cent weeks, OFAH members in southern Ontario have com- plained of incidents involving the killing of wild turkeys by natives. In the 1980s, the OFAH and Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) began the reintroduction of the wild turkey to Ontario. Historically, wild turkeys thrived throughout central and southern Ontario, but were ex- tinguished by native and non-native over hunting at the turn of the century. Although the reintroduction program has been interna- tionally lauded, it could now be at risk because natives are taking the biros when the flocks are most susceptible, said Dr. Dave Ankney, University of Western Ontario zoology professor and OFAH president. OFAH members are angry that their years of expense and work to reestablish the birds are being jeopardized. he added. Anyone can legally hunt male wild turkeys for a brief time each spring, but natives feel that a recent provincial government policy change gives them the right to kill an unlimited number of birds at any time of the year. Wild turkeys roost in trees much of the winter, making them easy targets, Ankney said. In addition, the winter places serious threats on their survival and reproductive success. The OFAH has appealed to Ontario Chief Gordon Peters to implore his people to hunt the wild turkey only during biologically -justified spring seasons, and after taking a mandatory education course that all non-native hunters must complete. in addition, the Federation has asked MMR Minister Bud Willman to use the province's new native policy (the interim enforcement policy) to ensure that natives who kill wild turkeys out of season are prosecuted. CMHC Reduces Mortgage Down Payments To 5% For the next two years, five percent down payments on federally -insured mortgages will be available for the first time bomnebuyers. Elmer Maclay. Minister responsible for Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) Inas announced. CMHC's First Home Loan Insurance will reduce the cur- rent minimum the percent down payment requirement for federally -insured mortgages to five percent for first-time homnebuyers. The plan will be in effect immediately for the next two years, at which time it will be reviewed. ".Five percent downpayments are intended for people who can afford the monthly mortgage paymie is but have difficulty saving the minimum 10 percent," added Mr. MacKay-. Homes eligible for financing Lander this initiative are sub- ject tubject to price ceilings. In the greater Toronto and Vancouver areas, the maximum price is $2.50.000 In centres with relatively higher average house prices and in northern areas, the ceiling is $175.000. A price ceiling of 5125,000 ap- plies everywhere else in Canada. Here and There Mortgage Credit Improved Residential mortgage credit rose by 2.2 percent in nominal terms during the third quarter of 1991. the largest rate of growth since the second quarter of 1990, according to a report released by Canada Mortgage and Housing Cor- poration (CMHC). The January issue of CMHC's quarterly Mortgage Market Trends reports that despite the improvement in mortgage lending activity, it is still only about half the prevailing rate during the pre -recession market. ........................................... ............ cluttered with moving dots of colour that madly rush with no rest.

(Photo - Bob Watson , Global Warming Science Program An Safi million Green Plan Science Program to red" the uncertainties ung global warm- ing in Canada has been unveiled by Minister of State for the Environment Pauline Browes. The Science Program - an essential part of Canada's strategy on gk" warming - will focus on the regional patterns, speed and extent of global warming in Canada. and its effects on the climate system. Results of the research should provide a sound besis for understan- dirg the impliptioro of policy decisions. They should also help in tracking progress, developing private and public sector investment strategies, and supporting actions by in- dividual Canadians to help control global warming. In announcing the pro- gram, Minister Browes challenged the country's scientists to join forces to better understand the sciernce of global warming and its implications; for Canada. The Science Program is one part of the Green Plan's comprehensive ap- proach to taking action on global warming. It includes measures to limit net greenhouse gas emissions. to participate in interna- tional efforts to develop a global agreement on reduc- ing greenhouse gases, to acquire a greater understanding of global warming, and to anticipate and prepare for global war- ming. Other recently announc- ed components include the proposed Energy Efficien- cy Act, energy efficiency measures for buildings, the promotion of alternative transportation fuels, and programs for the agncurtural sector. The Science Program in- cludes support for Cana- dian participation in inter- national experiments to improve our understanding of the climatic role of oceans, forests and the global hydrological cycle. Scientists from govern- ments, universities and the private sector will be W- ed through a research net- work. This will enable them to study climate pro- cesses more closely and to maintain Canada's advanc- ed computer model of the climate system. The net- work will provide the infor- mation necessary to deter- mine the regional reper- cusswns of climate change in Canada. Intensive studies will be conducted of the possible socioeca is impact on the three areas of Canada 0!a. are considered likely to be affected by global warming: the Prairies, the Mackenzie Basin, and the Great lakes St. Lawrence Basin. The studies will assist in developing new policies and practices that will enable these regions to deal with any climate An expanded climate monitanng and reporting system will be put is Place to inform Canadians an- nually shout how the coun- try's climate is changing. (Robot warming is caus- ed by the release of heat- trapping greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. As a first step, Canada is com- mitted to stabilizing its emissions of carbon cbox- ide and other greenhouse gases at 1990 levels oy the year WW. Negotiationsare under way on a global climate change convention. Canada is actively participating in these. and hopes that an agm"nent committing all nations to action can be signed during the United Nations Conference on En- vironment and Develop- ment (UNCED ), to be held in Rio de Janeiro this June.

Toronto, Ontario MSS 1 S4 (416) 965-0455 • Page 6 THE NEWS POST Wed. February 19, 1992 .Bill Watt's Worlds ON STAGE: Not Wanted on the Voyage, a co -production of the Necessary Angel and Canadian Stage com- panies, is currently playing at the Bluma Appel Theatre in the St. Lawrence Centre. That's a long and unwieldy sentence but at least it helps fill some space. Not Wanted on the Voyage is long and un- wieldy and merely takes up one's time. It is an adaptation by D.D. Kugler and Richard Rose (the latter also directs) of Timothy Findley's book of the same name. We haven't read the book so we can't say how closely the play hews to it. With that admitted, let us also write that the play is one of the worst we have Understand that we're not talking production or presentation. about which. more later. No we're talk- ing of the play itself. It is a simply dreadful, sophomoric and soporific reworking of the voyage of Noah's Ark. . .a subject already overworked beyond familiarity and into boredom. All the old considerations are drawn out again. . .Noah was a hypocritical and lecherous despot. . .There was bestiality on the voyage... Unicorns actual- ly existed. We've all read and heard of them before. They can be amusing and even provocative as wnt- ten bra• Julian Barnes and maybe Tumothy Findley. This production. however. suffers the worst possible fault of any performing art endeavotr. it's boring. Yes, it's boring despite much gimmickry and at- tempts at sensationalism p msuamably intended for the hoi polloi or the suppos- ed intelligentsia %tho are frightened of being seen as the little boy of the Emperor's New Clothes. Sermationalism" Well. yes. if one wants to call it that. You'll see a nubile young lady au naturel be- ing oiled in preparation for coitus You'll hear her scream in agony as her hymen is lanced by the horn of a unicorn still at- tached to the beast. You'll see the same beast having the horn decapitated and dying You'll see and hear a daughter-in-law of Noah being del i % ered by Noah of a still horn simian creature probably sired by him. Oh, and there's blood: blood by the seeming gallon. Or, should one say litre in this metric age? All of the foregoing is described through the blind eyes of a crippled cat. T.S. Eliot anvone? To be fair, the set and scene design are excellent and the lighting effects ap- proach the spectacular. And there are some fine performances. Janet Wright is a feisty albeit resigned Mrs. Noyes, the wife of Noah Noyes ( clever eh'. Noah Noyes'. Get it). Goldie Semple, making one of her rare Toronto appearances away from Stratford is tragic as the daughter delivered of the simian and Anne Anglin is poigant as the blind cat. Roland Hewgill, however. playing the roll of Noah, seems to go around simply bellowing a helluvalotta noise. ( Noise. get it? ) One rather suspects directorial fault here. given Mr. Rose's well known propensity to employ shouting as a substitute for high emotion. Realistically. one must admit or concede that Not Wanted of the Voyage will probably en y a long run: one can almost hear poten- tial voyeur viewers salivating at the thought of a unicorn humping a nude broad. For us though, it re- mains a not inconsiderable waste of talent. ..and, it's boring.

We continue to weary over the misuse of the word legendary. We weary also of hearing the Tonight Show Band described as the best big band in America.

The O'Keefe Centre presents Johnny Mathis on concert on Mar. 16th and 17th. We could be wrong but it seems to us that this will be his first appearance there in almost a decade. He always gives a good show and we look forward to seeing and hearing him again. We understand that some tickets might still be available but we suggest you hurry. ON THE KEYS: One of the most talented and beautiful of pianists is Marie -Andre- Ostiguy. We have had the distinct pleasure of meeting Mlle. Ostiguy on several occa- sions but have not heard her play in person near often enough. The young lady Is cur- rently on a cross Canada tour that will take her almost coast to coast. Regrettably, her current itinerary which we have at hand doesn't indicate a Amadeus Choir Offers An Experience Listen to the Amadeus Choir as the 100 -plus members wrap their soar- ing voices around a stirring piece of choral music like Mozart's Requiem or Handel's Messiah and you're bound to be dazzled. But it's not just the au- dience that finds the ex- perience moving. "It's a very intense musical experience for us, and therefore an emotional experience." says the choir's long-time conductor Lydia Adams. "We are uplifted by the music." Formed in 1974, the Amadeus Choir has developed a reputation throughout Metro Toronto for its high professional standards and challenging repertoire. Members are selected through regular auditions, with vocal abili- ty not the only criteria. ..People have to blend in with the group." says ad- ministrative director Linda Beaupre. The absence of prima donnas is clear when you see the members rolling tip their sleeves to build risers before concerts. or volunteer with ticket sales and other behind -the - scenes jobs. And the rigorous rehearsal schedule - 12 hours a week before concerts and three hours a week other times - ensures that only the most committed of singers re- main. :1Mve to North York The choir has been based in Scarborough since its in- ception, drawing its au- dience from all over greater Toronto. Beginning with the 1992-93 season, the char will move its opera- tions a bit west to North York• holding all of its rehearsal; and most of its performances there. A major reason for the move is the choir's hope to sing out of the North `<'ork Centre for the Performing Arts, now under construc- tion. For now, two of the 19W-93 Performances are already scheduled for the 1.2110 seat Annunciation Roman Catholic Church, a beautiful concert space featuring wonderful acoustics and a Casavant tracker organ. The choir's regular series includes four or five concerts, one or more of Toronto engagement. Pity. She will, however• be performing in Sudbury on Feb. 27th and 28th. Sincerely -we're not having anyone on -we recommend a weekend trip to Sudbury to see and hear this enchan- ting lady. Should you be chilled by the Sudbury weather, you'll steely be warmed by her artistry. OF INTEREST: Just as we sat down before the Clipper to put this column together, the post delivered a most in- teresting missive from Gregory Patterson of Media Profile. Allow us to quote directly from it. The Autumn Leaf Perfor- mance in association with Harbourfront's 4th biennial duMaurier Ltd. World Stage Festival will present the Canadian premiere of R.Murray Schafer's The Alchemical Theatre of which are with a full or- chestra and guest soloists. But its activities aren't confined to these perfor- mances. In the past, the Amadeus singers have performed as a guest choir with the York Symphony and East York Symphony; with the Or- pheus Choir and the inter- nationally acclaimed Cana- dian Brass at Toronto's Rov Thomson Hall: and at the Heart and Stroke Foun- dation's Gilbert and Sullivan evenings at Roy Thomson Hall and the Roval Alexandra Theatre. Iii addition to its ex- hilarating sound, the choir is known for its unique carol writing competition, the only one in Metro and one of just a handful anywhere in Canada. Last year's drew almost 100 en- tries from across North America - one even came from New Zealand. There are categories for publish- ed and unpublished com- posers• as well as for children and youth. with the winning carols per- formed in a special con- cert. oo-cert. This search for new com- positions and composers extends to the choir's prac- tice of commissioning Canadian works: "We're seen as a champion of Canadian music." Adams says. Past commissions in- clude Voices of Earth by Kuth Watson Henderson and Avodah: Songs of Praise and Worship by Stuart Calvert. The lair aims to commission a ma- jor Canadian composition every second or third season.

There is more, of course, and we'll be mentioning more in columns to come but imagine a performance in the Great Hall of the Union Station. ..and star- ting at midnight. We look forward to it. COMMENT: So Alex Haley is dead. Though he probably never knew it, our paths once crossed on the printed page. Ours was the first review of his monumental Roots to appear in Toronto and possibly Canada. and Schumann. If it's not challenging it won't be fun for the members," Adams ex- plains. "I choose music that will lift them to another level. We have to constantly progress.' For Kathryn Winning, who has sung alto the past seven years, the choice of repertoire is one of the most appealing aspects of belonging to the choir. "Lydia is truly an outstan- ding conductor," she says. "She really gives us something we can sink our teeth into." Winning also points out the variety of the choir's of- ferings. While most of the music has sacred themes - "That's what the great choral music is," says Win- ning - the chair has also managed to squeeze in some Broadway tunes, Viennese waltzes, and east coast folk music. The choices may be diverse. but the thousands who come to hear the Amadeus Choir perform are u mted by something hing simple: the choir's power- ful sound. "Ibere's real ex- uberance and joy in the singing," says Beaupre. "Thai's a very tangible thing for the audience."

FAST EXIT: One of the many pleasures of El Sapo, an in- ternational social club at 119 Minsheng Road, East in Taipei is its mouth- watering late night snack of bird's nest soup. Wallace Yee Hong states -nay, decrees! -in the Chinese Cook Book that the best bird's nest to be used is found on the Malayan Ar- chipelago in the Pacific Ocean. It belongs to a cer- tain kind of swallow, or swift, which transforms the marine plants it consumes into a form of jellied saliva to line its nest. Now please excuse us; we have to go and stir our beef barley soup. Wed.

The financing in- struments are called Value Charges and are based on levying a special charge on property owners who stand to benefit financially from proximity to subway sta- tions on the new line. The ani otmt of the charge would be based on a pro portion of the estimated in- crease in value of real estate attributable to the new subway in a given area. At this time. only' the ap- propinateness of the Value Charges concept and the principles which underlie it are under consideration. However, potential Value Charge amounts have been estimated based on these proposed concepts and principles in order to in- dicate the potential magnitude of the charges. Value Charges are being considered as an alter- native financing source to property taxes and other conventional revenue sources. Current estimates of the cost of constructing the Sheppard Subway are about $1.9 billion (for costs of construction. property acquisition and rolling stock 1. It has been projected that Value Charges could finance approximately one- third of the cost of the sub- way over 40 years. Provin- cial and, or other municipal financing sources will have to be found to finance the remainder. Another potential new charge, an annual automobile charge applied on a per vehicle basis across Metro, is also under consideration as a potential contributor to Sheppard Subway costs and those of other transit projects.

Value Charges on existing real estate would be kevied on an ongoing annual basis beginning with the start of operations of the Sheppard Subway line. currently pro- jected at 1999. Studies of real estate values near existing Toron- to subway lines and elsewhere have shown that subway statim cocrs-ruc- tion has a measurable positive effect on real estate values within a distance of about 600 metres of subway stations. depending on the type of development involved. This Increase in real estate values is greatest next to s'ubw'av stations Where the potential for direct pedestnan access to the subway exists. and is less farther from subwav cations. Based on these studies, it has been proposed that dif- ferent Value Charge rate's would be set in each of three benefit zones. The benefit zones would be established concentrically based on distance to sub- way stations. Value Charges would be common With a tone, for properties of the same type, based on the average estimated in- crease in property values attributable to the subway station.

A ktwer Value Charge would apply in the next closest none and the lowest charge would apply in the tone farthest from the subway statim. It has been proposed that the charges on existing pro- perty be based on 25% of the estimated average in- crease in value at- tributable to the subway for different types of devekprrhent within each benefit tone. The increase in real estate values attributable to the Sheppard Subway has been estimated based on interviews with real estate industry members and a review of the value of existing properties in rela- tion to existing subway lines. Questions and comments from businesses and residents regarding these proposed financing con- cepts and principles are en- couraged. Public meetings in early 1992 are planned to provide a further oppor- tunity for comments and questions.

Disabilities Association Adopts "Daisy" The Learning Disabilities Association of Ontario will introduce the daisy as its offical flower during its public awareness campaign. Feb. 24 to Mar. a. Says LD.A.0. past presi- dent Heather Holden, in the language of flowers, the daisy means something ex- cellent or special. and although they are plentiful. no two are exactly alike. The description applies equally to our population with learning disabilities. Utilizing the theme • "n,ey love me - They love me not" the association will present the daisv as a tangible symbol of bah the practical and the social challenges that are faced by those with learning disabilities. Although every in- dividual with a learning disability is unique. this population seems to be par- ticularly at risk for having low self-esteem. The conse- quences for society as a whole are significant - both in financial and human terms. ..Any relationship can present difficulties for those with learning disabilities." says Eva Nichols, Executive Direc- tor of the L.D.A.O. "For in- stance, the person with learning disabilities who ©agora.. c�.a. has problems relating the spoken word to the written word, may also have pro- blems relating body language to peer function- ing. Active in over fifty com- munities across the pro- vince, the L.D.A.O. is an advocacy, support and in- formation service for the learning disabled com- munity, and also acts as a catalyst and resource for the development of ap- propriate community bas- ed services.

However, the company recognizes that the support of the various levels of government and of cor- porate partners is vital to its success. Bob Stewart, President and Chief Executive Of- ficer of Scott Paper Limited recently stated that, "An event of this magnitude is successful because of the tireless ef- forts of hundreds of volunteers, the support of local businesses and the en- thusiasm of curling fans in the area." The 1992 Scott Tourna- ment of Hearts will be uni- que in many respects. It is the first time that a na- tional curling champion- ship will be played on four sheets of ice versus the traditional five sheets. It will showcase Team Canada's Julie Sutton team, fresh from the Olym- pics in Albertville. The defending Canadian cham- pions have a bye into The Scott Tournament of Hearts. The team uniforms, which were the subject of much discussion last year, have been modified but are still uni- que in terms of traditional curling garb. There are lots of other new twists to this cham- pionship too, including an extensive Junior and Senior program. Students in many Halifax and Dart- mouth schools have been studying curling as part of a teaching package developed to encourage in- volvement in the cham- pionship. Schools have adopted teams and are busy making banners which will be presented to the curlers in a special presentation. Seniors' groups will be supplemen- ting the children's efforts with their own themed posters.

Over the past year, you have most likely felt inundated by pleas to save the environment. Requests to alter your lifestyle in one way or another have been common, in hopes that the resulting changes will abate some of the general abuse that our planet has been suffering. Well, last week we were given a startling reminder why it is so important to think about the environment first, when it was discovered that the ozone layer over the arctic is depleting at a rate more rapid than originally expected. The ozone layer, of course, is a vital buffer that filters most of the sun's harmful ultra -violet rays before they reach the earth. The loss of the ozone layer increases the risk of skin cancer• among other things. Our government has been concerned about the ozone layer for some time. Just this August. Environment Minister Jean Charest announced $25 million in Green Pian funding to strengthen Canada's fight against ozone -layer depletion. This increased funding will allow Canada to accelerate its domestic regulatory control program and support the recovery and recycling of ozone-depleting substances. Also, we will have greater insight into the effectiveness of these controls. This will ensure that Canada's ozone -protection program is one of the most rigorous in the world. Indeed. the pro- gram exceeds the international protocol that was establish- ed at a June 1990 meeting in London. Green Plan funds dedicated to this aggressive program will help ensue that we meet our 1997 phase-out a target for CFCs. What's more, this program is working. The latest statistics show, that the consumption of CFCs for the twelve months ending June 1991 was 45% lower than the consunp. tion in 1906. While the recent discovery of the pierced ozone layer is disturbing. Canna& has a lengthy record of excellence in ozone -layer research and monitoring. Green Plan fords will reinforce the ongoing programs to understand the state of ozone depletion. They will enable Canadian scientists to better understand the impact of Canadian control measures on ozone -layer protection.
