Pickering Council Notes Hire Statim Stativ A Fire Station Location Study prepared by M. M. Dillon limited in October 1987 identified a response time in excess of five minutes for much of the north urban area of the Town of Pickering. The study identified the need for a new fire station to be establ'Ae 'on or near Finds Avenue in 1989 to serve the northern urban area of the Town. In a later report dated May 20th. 1962 the Fire Chief ind1k ated that the response time in certain sections of the northern ur- ban area have deteriorated. The Town has completed castructim drawings for a fireball to be constructed on south side of Finch Avenue, east of Dixie Road. The funds for this fireball have been set aside for this purpose. Council, therefore. has authorized the expenditure of funds in 1992 for the con- struction of a firehall on this location and that tenders be called im- mediately based on the construction drawings that have been compieted. Council also recommend- ed that the mayor be authorized to establish a task force to coordinate all reports on fire services and to investigate emergency response times and other matters of interest to the task force regarding fire services.

El Page 2 THE NEWS POST Wed. June 24, 1992 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Canada Is The Best! by Bob Batson Next Wed. July 1st will be our country's 125th anniver- sary and by all indications we Canadians will be celebrating the day with greater enthusiasm than usual' Recent polls from the United Nations say that people in the world see Canada as No. 1 country - and most of us Canadians who have travelled the world know it is true' But let's use this anniversary to stimulate our interest in improving the country's economy. Let's all cooperate in helping to put Canada back in economical state. Everyone should contact his or her politician at every level with ideas and suggstions for improvement in government spending and legislation. The small business community has the key to success in our land if only governments would stop taxing and making economic life difficult. Business doesn't need handouts - but it does need less taxes, and postal increases. As a first step let's cancel all government grants to groups such as multicultural organizations who are quite capable of functioning on their own. Let's cancel the GST and replace it with a 4.7 % increase in income tax as a North York Liberal representative has suggested for some time. The GST has created at least half of the recession problem in our economy. Let's all adopt a new attitude on July 1st to put our glorious land back into fow•ard gear and use normal business attitudes to run our deficit -ridden governments. 1b'ith the right planning and action we could get rid of our national and provincial debt by the 130th anniversary celebration in 1a9; ' Let's do it' Keep Private Nursing Homes Dear Sir: CLTS (Canadian Union Public Employees) has called for the elimination of private sector involvement in health care - specifKaAy the closing down of private nursing horses. This is ill conceived and patently irresponsible. It is bas- ed on the belief that only ideology sbould dnve public policy decisions. When health dollars are so scarce, they must be used to irnprove health care, not to impiksnent the ideological belief that -private is bad". No public policy purpose would be served by the un- necessary expenditure of public funds to try to change the ownership of those long term care facilities which are cur- renth• providing a much needed service to a rapidly grow- ing senors population. And it would further limit corwnner choice at a time when seniors are increasingly concerned about their ability to choose the type of care they will have in future. If the government attempts to privatize nursing horses, it would send another negative signal to the financial cot. n- munity of its unfnendly attitude towards the private sector. and encourage the flight of capital out of Ontario when inn - vestment is desperately needed to move us out of recession. Currently the private sector in Long Term Care has a capital investment of $1.1 billion In Ontario. The cost of conversion weld be exorbitant. For example. in Metro Toronto. the non-profit beds cost s13,000 mote per bed per year to operate. With 5.150 private sector beds. CL'PE's proposal would cost the public treasury an addi- tional S76 million a year in operating; costs In Metro Toronto alone. And not one new bed would be added, nor would them by any guarantee of improvement In the quality of care. The real issue - which LUPE totally Ignores - is the care provid- ed to residents and the health care outcomes achieved. The investment shuld be made in care. not ownership. Why would we want to repeat the day care experience' The government allocated $26 million to convert private day care centres to non-profit centres, and not one new space was created. Had the $26 million been invested in in- creasing capacity. rather than in pursuing the ideological purity. 5,200 new day care spaces could have been created. A healthy mix of private and public facilities integrated into an effective delivery system is in the best interests of the consumer - and the taxpayer. Sincerely yours. C. W.

Child Abuse Dear Editor: Early French Immersion child abuse is the result of poor judgernent on the part of English-speaking parents. The abuse we refer to is emotional and mental. Think about the following facts: 1.77% of Early French Immersion students drop out of high school (Carleton Hoard of Education research. Ile. N. Halsall). 2 Mary Early French Imrrnr- sion students develop Psychiatric Problems , They are thrust into a foreign language from English-speaking homes - Ref.

Stop government funding of Canadian Parents for French who are contributing to the above mentioned mental and emotional abuse of our you ng children across Canada through their method of strong lob- bving with 70% funding of the taxpayers' money, their grants and freebees amounting to thousands and thousands of dollars for the past 14 years.

Sponsored by the Scar- borough Campus and its Alumni Association, the award has been presented annually since 1979. It comes with a $1000 cash prize. A career in teaching was the furthest thing from Terry Litovitz' mind when she graduated from univer- sity. But after teaching in- house courses at the Chartered Accountants firm she worked for, she discovered she liked it. She ned the faculty at Scar - rough in 1900. The recurring themes in the letters supporting her nomination are "tough but fair" as well as 'caring and compassionate". The word tough" is used in almost every letter. Terry's class is well known among students as a place they dare not conte un - She has been kncra-n to walk out on a lec- ture if students were not prepared to discuss the day's assignment. Most of her students recognize this attitude as a necessity, preparing them for the rigors of a very ex- acting career in accoun- ting. Those platirnng to sit examinations for profes- sional designation such as CA have many digteult tests ahead. All of them feel that Terry has prepared them for what is to come better than any ur structor they have ever had. They also mention her caring attitude, and the great lengths to which she goes to assist them. -She seemed to get upset when she knew that use were not trying our best— writes one. *1 felt that she ge- nuinely wanted us to Canada Day Celebration Canada Day cefebrationtls will be held at the Ontario Agricultural Museum in Milton on Wed.

June 24, 1M92 Bill Watt's Worlds OVERTURE: On May 3rd, 1989 we reviewed a production of Kiss of the Spider Woman presented by the Canadian Stage Company. By way of preamble, uv wrote that it "was first a novel by the Argentinian writer Manuel Puig. It was then rewritten as a play and eventually became the acclaimed mo- tion picture of a few years ago. . .1985. to be exact. One supposes that a musical version is in the of- fing." The last sentence was written more or less tongue-in-cheek. CtRTAIN I -P: Now we have been privileged to experience the world premiere of Kiss of the Spider Woman. The Musical at the Bluma Ap- pel Theatre. Please join us. ON STAGE: Chita Rivera will not remember• nor should she, the first time that she and I made eye contact but we sureh• do. It was some years ago When she was making an appearance at the Imperial Room of late and lamented rnemory. As always. she had given an exhausting perf ormance-exhausting for the audience anyway - and we were emotionally drained as we sat at our usual table. first riser ringside. As she drew near during her curtain call. she flash- ed us a smile that was more devil than angel. We have newer forgotten it nor Miss Rivera throughout the mansubsequent times we have reviewed her and been the recipient of that same smile, even though separated by footlights as w -as the case when we saw her again as the raison d'etre of Kiss of the Spider Woman. The Musical. The premise of the work is: of the most unlikely Two men are cell mates in a Latin Amencan prison. one is an activist, the other is a homosexual. The latter is there to obtain informa- tion from the former To do so, he regales him in part by describing the motion pictures of his youth, in- cluding those about the Spider Woman. ( Movie buffs will recall that she was played by Gale Sordergaard.e The Spider Woman is an all pervasive element of the narrative line and also. in the person of Chita Rivera, the hook for spec- tacular musical numbers. Her spectacularity (an unabashed new word) is equalled only by the choreography assigned to her by Vincent Paterson to the spirited music of John Kander and the Ivrics of Fred Ebb excitingly or- chestrated by Michael Gib- son and dynamatized from the pit by Jeffrey Huard. The woman is incredible. She weaves (sorry about that in and out of the plot and is the thread that holds the web together. Yet, it must not be im- agined that this is Chita Rivera's show. No indeed' Passing over, for the mo- ment at least, the excellent supporting cast of singers and dancers. one must pay homage to the two prin- cipals in the jail cell. They are Brent Carver as The Gay -it deserves ppitali7ation-and Anthony Crivello as the incendiary. The former, in par- ticular. canes close to stealing the show. We have long admired his talent as a thespian but did not know what a truly fine singer he is. Even as a man woman of self admitted sexual con- fusion (in the role. that is ( his voice is strong and stir- ring - In characterization, Mr. Carver is simply grand. He stops just short of the swish but passes over the line into nobihty- Mr. Crivello is essence of macho: most evident in his patriotic song, "The Dray After That". Oh yes, this is a musical and sane emphasis should be placed on the music as we perceived it. Well, truth to tell, the music isn't of the immediately hummable type but is hugely en- joyable given the aforementioned orclhestm- tiom One should mention, though, that if we were still in the golden days of popular music recordings. Eartha Kitt could have a field day and a huge com- mercial success with ..Don't Even Thirsk About It". Oh, and watch out for supper club orchestras titillating with '.Morphine Tango.

IN THE AIR: This Saturday marks the anticipated return to On- tario Place of the Benson and Hedges Symphony of Fire, fireworks set to music. The first team to com- pete is Hop Kee of Hong Kong. Many have forgotten that gunpowder and the resultant fireworks originated in The Orient. Our fnends in the East perceived gunpowder ex- plasives. whatever. as an instrument of creating beauty not destruction as did The Occident. As a result, even now, the fireworks displays of The Orient are usually con- sidered the daintiest. Yes, we said daintiest. The three other teams competing are Parente Chien of Italy. A. Caballer Llorens of Spain and Alon- zo Firework-( of the United States. Canada does not have a team and so Italy will per- form on July 1st, the 125th anniversary of Canadian Confederation. There's something vaguely dis- quieting about that. Still, on July 4th, America's birthday. Spain will be performing. The grand finale will be on Sat. July lith when all countries will be presented.

But it was all part of the fun and games of be- ing invited to celebrate "Al Capon's Birthday" A riotous evening of gangsters and molls in the prohibition era at Al's Speakeasy and Secret Hideaway. The audience is urged to come dressed in style for that time period and to par- ticipate in the action. There are some great songs, dan- cing and dramatic in- cidents before the party is over. The group of talented performers are headed by Ken Atkinson with Bill Guy, Tina Jones, Cindy Me- Carthv, Bill Price and Tamara Stokoe. Yours truly re-created the role of 'Big Julie' on opening night. The show is taking place every Friday night at the Guild Inn until July 31st. The Guild Inn is such a beautiful setting and it's good to see them trying Dinner Theatre once again. They offer a good three course dinner and my only complaint was that dinner was late and they offered only one choice, Beef (ex- cellent though it was). Show dates are June 19, 26, July 3, 10, 17, 24, 31. Din- ner and show is 539.96 plus G.S.T. Seating is at 7 p.m. Phone 261-3331 for reserva- tion and accominodation.

Survey Shows Dad Still Teaches Kids to Ride a Bike 1 THIS WEEK _ from Ottawa VMh Rene Soetens, M.P. Finally, after six years, it's gone. The unsightly vessel known as the PEI has at last been towed out of Whitby har- bour. Since 1996 the vessel, moored to the pier, had been a seemingly permanent eyesore. Its saga was also lengthy and, at times, bizarre. The ship's owner, after equipping it with generating engines and transformers, had designs to sell the ship to a Caribbean nation as a floating power sta- tion. Obviously, this ambitious business venture never came to fruition. later plans to refurbish the ship and sell it as a floating restaurant were also predictably ill-fated. The ship gained most -of its notoriety, however, after it was discovered that two of its transformers contained a high level of PCBs, a known hazardous chemical. The chemicals were moved to storage facilities at Whitby Hydro, but the nuisance remained. Over the years. the ship proved to be more than an eyesore. It broke loose from its berth on several occasions, once damaging the wharf. Its potential harm to the environ- ment was an ongoing problem that everyone in the region worried about. The Town of Whitby payed $10-20.000 of tax honey in the constant fight to get rid of the ferry. And this does not include the endless hours of staff time, as well as city resources. that were expended to free Whitby of the an- noyance- 1 was as relieved as anyone when the ship finally vacated its spot for good. and I agree with Whitby Mayor Tom Ed- wards that legislation is needed to prevent this from hap- pening here or anywhewre else. ever again. Indeed. 1 had asked for this many times before in the House of Commons. Last week in the House. I asked the Minster of Transport to come forward with regulations that will prevent a vessel of this type from being TIED up along any pier regulated by the Department of Transport. There is a limit to the government's power here - the Department of Transport has j rudiction to ensure that a vessel is safe and does not pose an environmental threat, but there are very real constraints on its ability to order a private owner to move a vessel. I was assured, however, that regulator s are currently being reviewed to make an occurrence like this one a thing of the past. Our monstrosity has been towed away. I just hope it doesn't resurface as someone else's problem. %done safe. two -wheel tun," uvs Sheldon Klein, Presi- dent of Hasbro Canada and Playskdxol, the cimnpany's pre-scMxil tom divr%am.

According to a Playskool Canada research study con- ducted last month by Market Facts of Canada, 75 per cent of fathers continue to have the responsibility of teach- ing their children how to ride a bike. The findings revealed that three quarters of the house- holds surveyed have child- ren who currently own a bicycle. Of those, a further three quarters confirmed that dad is the one who taught the kids how to ride a hike. Even among those fathers whose children don't yet own a bicycle, the vast majdwity of fathers (93 per cent) said They would be the one to teach the child to ride it. How does dad do it? Playskool learned that 88 per cent of fathers who had al- ready taught their kids how to ride a bicycle said they started with training wheels. And the majority of dads who plan on teaching their kids to ride in the future, also said they'll use training wheels. To help everyone breeze through this learning phase without a scratch, Plays- kool's award winning 1-2-3 Bike is based on a unique three -stage training system that helps children as young as two ride a two -wheeler with confidence and case. Because it's designed to adapt to a child's changing skill level, parents save money by only having to purchase a single bicycle during the pre-school years. In stage one, the training wheels are mounted on the outside for tricycle -like sta- bility. Stage two allows the training wheels to be mounted on the inside to maintain stability while building confidence, balance and skill. In the third and final stage, the training wheels are removed alto- gether to create a durable bicycle with a chunky de- sign, chainless drive, and extra -wide wheels. "This hike is really a first - of -its kind for pre-schoolers. It gives them a chance to do what the big kids do — have Made with lightweight, colourful materials, the 1-2- 3 Bike is d -signed for child- ren ages two to fimr who weigh up to fill pounds and are at least 3i inches tall. Thr hike also features an adjustable three -position seat angled for easy pedal- ling.
