'.March 11. 1992 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Thank You Ottawa! by Bob Watson We thought that " M eedom of the Press" and promotion of books, magazines and community newspapers was a positive plank in the fabric of our beautiful Canada. However this view has been shattered by the Mulroney _ government. On Jan. 1st 1991 the P.M. decided to remove the $220 million given to the post office annually to allow for economical movement of books, magazines and community newspapers through the mail. So on March 1st. 1991 community newspapers working out of a town or city of over 10,000 inhabitants had their rates raised from 9.1 cents each copy (30 grams) to 14.1 cents. a 50% increase. Then on March 1st 1992 the same local newspapers sud- denly received another increase from 14.1 cents a copy to 23c a copy -almost 8D% increase. According to one local Progressive Conservative M.P. this was a subsidy which had to go. Well. the timing is just perfect for bankruptcies with a recession plus a 7% G.S.T. (no sales taxes had ever been applied to newspapers before) and these huge increases in postage rates. Our reaction to this latest attack on our financial status means that most mailed copies of our newspapers must be cancelled and only annually paid copies may be mailed. Of course those newspapers published in small towns with less than 10.000 people will continue to have very low rates of 3.4c per copy. And who said there was equality in our country' It is even worse than the provincial Uberals who made Metro Toronto residents pay $30 more for their driving licence while Kirkland Lake folks pay the usual $60. Some equality' Meech Is Not Dead Who said Meech was dead?

Artist: Ronald Lambert Month : January, 1992 A picturesque, covered• wooden bridge built in 1910 and spanning Smith Creek in Merton, New Brunswick is the design on the first of 12 twenty-five cent coins to mark Canada's 125th anniversary of Confederation. The new coin was unveiled by the Hon. Paul Dick. Minister of Supply and Services. the Hari. Edmond P. Blanchard, Attorney General. Minster of Justice and Minister of Intergovenn- mtiental Affairs of the Governmierit of New Brustswick, and the coin's designer, Ronald Lambert of Oshawa. Ontario. It is available today sennas Canada through branches of banks and financial institutions. Shortly before the unveiling of the coin, Minister Dick spoke about his genuine pleasure at the outcome of the Canada 125 coin program. "W'iten I suggested the idea to my cabinet colleagues I was confident that a public com- petition to generate designs for the Canada I25 Cain Pro- gram would be a big success. But the results greatly ex- ceeded even my own optimistic predictions. Within a period of just 6 weeks the mint received 11,003 designs from across Canada. all depicting the natural beauty of our country, This is a spectacular tribute to the pride and nationalism that is felt by so many people across the land'" A special guest of honour was the coin's designer, Ronald lambert. An experienced graphic desigrier, the 64 year old lambert is a life -bog resident of Oshawa, Ontario. He drew the bridge in June 1988 while tie and his wife Helen were on a motor holiday in New Brunswick. lambert has definite dews about his w uming entry. --This stil"urviving covered bridge symbolises tiew Brunswick's heritage," he said. And he described the surrounding countryside as a "beautiful. vital and historic region of Canada". A Little Humour.... Some people ask the secret of our long marriage.

Well, the rhetoric was certainly there. The budget waxed eloquently about the need for lower deficits, spending restraint and tax reductions. Talkischeap,however. What was the reality? First. it should be noted that despite all the tags about the need for spending cuts, this budget calls for government spending on programmes to acli ally increaseby live percent — more than twice the rate of ingatbn.

Steve Owens last week criticized the federal budget. The budget did not ad- dress the immediate or long term needs of the unemployed or working person," said Mr. Owens. '-The federal government has once again demonstrated its lack of understanding of the economic situation that Canadians are facing to- day ... the o- day...the one and a half million unemployed need job creation now, not emp- ty promises of a brighter future." While the government is trying to stimulate the housing industry through the use of R.R.S.P.s, it is making cuts to the Federal Co-operative Housing Pro- gram. This announcement in the federal budget means 2000 new affordable housing units and 4,400 con- struction onstruction and manufactur- ung )ahs will be lost this year. '"Ibis budget offers a few individuals the opportunity to buy homes, while neglec- ting those individuals truly in need of affordable hous- ing. -- stated Owens.

The "Science Fiction, Space and Fantasy Show" will delight visitors of all ages with activities, talks and films from every corner of the Science Fiction Galaxy. Since its earliest star - date, science fiction has been a genre used to describe what might be, what might lay ahead. It removes its audience from the realm of reality to a slightly different dimen- sion, where the laws of physics and society do not quite apply. In this way, science fiction and fantasy have provided means for escape from the banalities of everyday life.

Students will also have the Home Power Saver Programs For Households Ontario Hydro and municipal electric utilities across the p�ovir,ce are launching the largest energy conservation project of its kind in North America. By participating in the I•iomne Power Saver Program, householders could oohlec- tively save over $350 million in their electric bill. The three-year Home Power Saver Program was an- nounced today by Ontario Hydro Chairman Marc Eliesem, Acting MiIiister Brian Charlton of Ontario's Energy Kmstry and Mary LeClair, Chairman of the Municipal Electric Association ( MEA) which rep coccus the 314 utilities in the province. '"Ibe Home Power Saver Program is our most ambitious residential energy conservation program yet. We're lo- vesting $10amilhion to help consumers save money on their electric bills." said Eliesen. "It provides one more tool in our drive to help Ontarians become more efficient energy consumers at borne and at the workplace. We're going to use a combination of customer education, technica! assistance services and the direct installation of low cod r c w 1-vation measures in eligible bones to help residential customm understand where their energy dollars go, to point out ways of saving energy and money, and to help them manage their use of energy more a ficiently.'. The MEA's L&Clair stated the active participation of large, medium and small municipal utilities reflects a strong commitment to energy conservation, customer satisfaction and the envi oninent_ "Ibe Home Power Saver Program will be a locally -driven initiative. The pa ticipa- ban of utilities and householders across Ontario is crucial to its success." LeClair said. "Not only will energy efficiency measures be installed in many homes, Power Savers will provide customers with technical assistance, motivation and some of the resources necessary to engage in signifi- cant conservation activities of their own." Acting Energy Minister Brian Chariton said the program reida+ces the govermment's commitment to energy effh- cieucy. "Ibis partnership between Ontario Hydro and the municipal utilities shows how Ontario can benefit when peo- ple enpie work together,.. Carlton said. "Making Ontario more energy efficient requires a strong. coordinated effort - a pooling of the energies and resources in all sectors - in business and imdtam y, in transportation and in our buildings and homes. Power Savers will help to establish Ontario as a North Anwwwan leader in energy conservation activities. Ontananss will view Hydro and the municipal utilities as energy providers that are meeting the electrici- ty needs of the people of Ontario in the most cost-effective, environmentally responsible manner... The Home Power Saver Program consists of two segments - the Home Audit and the Home Msit. The audit phase will begin with the mailing of 50,000 questionnaires to North York households and the visit component will com- mence in the fall. Over the next three years, Ontario Hydro will mail energy audit questionnaires to separately metered, single- family households. With a user-friendly questionnaire built around a detective there, "Your Power Saver Detective's Notebook" asks for information on such varied topics as the age of appliances and the level of insulation in each home. Separate information on using energy more efficiently will be sent to apartment and condominium dwellers because an energy audit program already exists for owners and pro- perty managers of multi -residential buildings. The electricity date for people who complete the question- naire will be forwarded by their local electric utility to On- tario Hydro. The billing, local weather data and the ques- tionnaire information will be analyzed and a report, design- ed to reduce each home's specific pattern of electricity use, will be forwarded to the household within eight weeks. Successful pilot project tests of the Home Audit Program in North York and 10 northern Ontario communities reported excellent customer satisfaction and a high rate of adoption of its energy-saving suggestions. Hydro expects that the information collected from the audits will identify as many as 600,000 high use energy homes - particularly electrically heated homes. These householders may be eligible for a visit from a represen- tative of their local utility who will demonstrate relevant energy conservation measures to help customers get started in using energy more efficiently. The specifics of the home visit segment are now in the development stage coordinated by an Ontario Hydro team with input from the MEA and the Ministry of Energy. opportunity to view a display and sample tradi- tional foods which reflect Black culture.

THE NEWS/ POST Page 5 The Story Of A Remarkable Family by William Scott by William Scott In the early summer of 1990 while working at a Red Cross Blood Clinic in the Cedarbrae Mall, I was ap- proached by a good looking young man in his late teens who had in his hand one of the Red Cross "Apheresis" pamphlets. Apheresis is a procedure during which a blood donor is attached to a separation machine and the blood flows from one arm, through the machine where platelets are extracted, and the blood is returned to the donor through the other arm. Platelets are the life line for people who are stricken with leukemia, aplastic anemia and other cancers. Back to my story and I soon found out that this young man knew far more than I did about the apheresis program because both his mother and father were apheresis donors and he was signing the application form that day, which he did. He told me that his name wasAndrew Ecklund and that he was anxious to enter this extra way to donate because one of his younger brothers. David had been stricken with aplastic anemia in January 1M and had received the ..gift of life" through the apbnvm p mgrarrt. Andrew told me that he warded to be this kind of a blood donor to be able to give other girls and boys. so stricken, the same chance that David had been given. He also told me that day that David had received a bone marrow transplant and had fully recovered. Andrew's story made a great impression upon me that day and I have often used David's picture on the front of the Red Cross apheresis pamphlets to persuade people to become both blood and bone mar- row donors. I think that is a great story but it is really only the prologue. Doug and Marie Ecklund of Scar- borough have three sons, Andrew, 20, Michael, 17 and David, 16. On Tues. Mar. 3 I was working at a Red Cross Blood Clinic at the Cedarbrae Collegiate in Scarborough. As young people crowded around the door of the gym where the clinic was taking place, looking apprehensively at the proceedings and long- ing to carte in and becorrte a blood donor but just needing a certain something to give them the impetus needed. I started using David Ecklund's picture and story as my persuasion and was telling that here was one of their fellow students who had received help from the blood program and what other encourage- ment should they need. A lot of the students recogniz- ed David at once and I was so pleased that it had such a positive effect. At the end of one of my little coaxing speeches. a voice behind me said.

Turning, I found myself looking at another good looking young man in his late teens who offered his hand and said, "I am Michael Ecklund, David's brother. I could not believe my good fortune in meeting another player in this great story of giving and receiv- ing. I had a long chat with Michael and learned that David was very well and also attending Cedarbrae Collegiate." About an hour later, a tall, slim young man came up to me and said, "I Respite For Elders Family Day Care Ser- vices is launching a new program called C. A R E. S.

For the rest of that after- noon, David worked as a volunteer at the blood clinic, filling a variety of positions and doing a great job, which was not at all surprising. David received his mar- row transplant on Feb 26, 1988 and was unable to return to school until September. He lost no ground because his mother is a teacher and under her guidance his school work did not suffer.

March 11, 1992 Bill Watt's Worlds ON YOUR TOES: The National Baliet's current engagement at The O'Keefe has concluded with a trio of one act works. Troy Game (we'll ex- plain the title further on) was an O'Keefe premiere. Choreographer Robert .North has explained that in this work for eight male dancers "we were making fun of macho men and we didn't take ourselves too seriously". Fair enough. For those not privy to his comments, however. Troy Game would seem to have derived the title from Troy Donahue, the now porcine. even battrachian, teen idol of the sixties, and feature an octet of lavender laddies cavorting in their gorgeous gotchies to music that sounds like the Desi Arnaz orchestra tuning up. To be honest, each one of the dancers is a splendid specimen of that to which all men should aspire physically and which all ballet dancers achieve. And, the choreography is spirited, so much so that one can clearly see that which can also be seen any summer week end at Kew - Beach or Pismo Beach or Fire Island. ( Come to think of it, such goings on are a wily occurrence at Fire Island.) As well, there is much humour in the work and one imagines the dancers enjoy a respite from the sometimes heavily dramatic works of the ballet repertoire. That's all well and good. one imagines that there are those who will find more in Troy Game than did this observer. We suggest, however, that most people attend ballet to see something more than young men cavorting on a beach. It's an ensemble piece so individual dancers can't truly be singled out for achievement but one has to say that Pierre Quinn muchly impressed. The title? It derives from a book of the same title by the American dance scholar Lincoln Kirstein. The Troy Game. also krlawn as the Ludus Troice. is one of the most ancient of Roman dances. It had its origins in Greece and classicists will recall reading of it in Virgil's Aeneid. We'll wager though. that the ancient Romans didn't wear colourful gotchies!

North and Kylian is that the latter does take -or pretend to take -himself seriously. Of this work to the music of Britten's Sin- fonia da Requiem he has written, in part, what follows. 'Forgotten Land touches on the conflicts that exist in every form of life - polarities inherent in our very existence ... to forget is not to extinguish or destroy; and land, even a crumbling coastline, never disappears entirely." Mr. Kvlian's choreography makes about as much sense as his writing and the visual proof is in Forgotten Land. It consists of six couples striking sculptured poses and trying -one suspects with some desperation -to figure out just what the hell it is that they're supposed to be doing. And. why they are dressed as the Black Couple, the Grey Couple. the Red Couple. the Pink Couple. the White Carple and. believe us. the Off White Couple. Any significance escapes us. The dancers did their best. an excellent best we should add, to breathe some vitality tato the work but could not. The applause was desultory but then so is the work. The final ballet of the evening was that of the erstwhile modern. Georges Balanchine. It was a triumph. It is set to the music of Suet's Symphony in C'.1Ma- jor. You recall it. thats the one with the recurring theme which, as children. we sang with the words. In and Out the Wudow. It's a charming work and lust made to be wedded to The late iter. Balanchine realized that and nicely tempered his bent for modernity with the disciplines of classical ballet. Indeed, so much is that the case that the corps is reauy the collective star of the work.

Metro Councillor Hollander tried his best to persuade his colleagues that if it doesn't make money the provincial and federal governments will "stick it to us". But Councillors Har- rison, Ashton and Pan- takxw all bucked the pro- ject. The resolution said that the City of Toronto and the private sector Expo '98 Consortium Inc. be united to join the Expo '96 Canada Bid Corporation at a finan- cial contribution ol $400.000 each. The chairman of the Ex- po '96 Canada Bid Corpora- tion is incorporated as a ..not for profit" corpora- tion under the laws of On- tario. The Hon. Tom WeLls is chairman of the board.

The program takes place the second Saturday -of every month from 10 -a.m. to 1 p.m. until June, weather permitting. Bird banding is one of the ;most important ways of gathering information on the nesting and wintering areas and the migration routes of birds. Birds are caught in a mist net by experienced, licensed banders. They are then identified, measured, weighed and a small aluminum band is placed around the bird's leg. The band has an identification number on it that is record- ed and stored in a com- puter in Washington, D.C. Official banding pro- grams began in 1920. Since then. more than 40 million birds have been banded. In North America alone, more than one million birds are banded each year. For information on bird banding at Kortright call (416) 661-6600.

WEEK from Ottawa 10 Rene Soetens, M.P. Slashed government spending. Tax Cuts. A continued commitment to hold the line on Canada's deficit. These are some of the main elements that came out of Don Mazankowski's federal budget last week. At a time when most critics predicted that the Finance Minister would pre- sent an overly -secure budget with moderate recommenda- tions, Mr. Mazankowski introduced a different type of budget - one that encourages initiative, productive invest- ment and growth. Over the next five vears, a considerable $7.3 billion in federal spending will be eliminated. Those savings will be used to give over $2 billion more to families, while financing a billion dollar-a-vear personal tax cut. The bottom line in Mr. Mazankowski's budget is this: within four years, the federal government will borrow no more money. The debt will have stopped growing In the midst of exciting plans to give families guaranteed incomes, let homebuyers use RRSPs for downpayments, and reduce taxes for hard-hit manufacturers, such as those that employ many Ontario Riding constituents, Mazankowski has also directed his efforts at the federal government itself. Salary cuts for the Prime Minister and his cabinet will be in effect, along with decreases for their ministerial budgets. Members of Parliament will no longer fly first-class. and 46 separate government agencies will be eliminated or merged. Defence spending will also be cut by $2 billion, as vie recall our troops from Europe. All this will allow personal income taxes to fall. while keeping the deficit at $31.4 billion this year, then 127.5 billion in 1993, and down another $5 billion the year after. In addition, personal income taxes will be cut by $500 million this year. and $1.2 billion next year. with this budget. we now expect the economy to grow for each of the next five years, with low inflation. low interest rates. and 200.000 new jobs in each of the next two years. For individual Canadians. the budget highlights include: For families, a new system of child benefits - up to $144 per child. Benefits will be phased -out for higher inooaie families on the basis of family net income rather than in- dividual income. More tax fairness: common-law couples won't be tazed less than traditional families. For home -buyers, for the next year, a couple can withdraw, tax-free, up to $40,000 for a dowrhpayment, repay- ing it over 15 years.
