Improving 1111 Provincial Relations Acting Mayor Brenner stated that the purpose of this Special Meeting of Council on June 17th was to talk about improving com- munications between the Town and MPP Jim Wiseman's office. Jim Wiseman responded that he has met with in- dividual members of coun- cil the past few days and noted that the jurisdiction between the town and pro- vince often overlap. Councillor Higdon asked if she could expect Jim Wiseman's support for pro- vincial funding to pine the Sandbaay lands located an Frenchman's Bay. Jim Wiseman responded that the M.T.R.C.A_ is to put this proposal to the Ministry of Natural Resources and be will monitor the progress at that point. He can't pro- mise the hi ding because be does not have that authority and the proposal will have to follow certain channels. He stated that he does see the need for the preservation of wetlands. Councillor Van Kempen stated that he was pleased that Jim Wiseman win make every eluant to en- sure that the proposal to purchase the Sandbary Lands will be appr'o'ved and thanked him for meeting with himself and represen- tatives of the M_T.R.C.A. He asked if Jim Wiseman would talk about the pro- cess of selecting landfill sites. MPP WINsomnan respond- ed that the interim Waste Authority has been established as a crown cor- poration of the province to undertake the process of selecting landfill sites. The authority has no political interference and therefore he can participate in public discussions on the selection process. He stated that ultimately, the questions will be asked "should a community that already had a landfill site suffer another one?" All things being equal, Pickering has done its share and another conununity should take the landfill site. He will have as much waste as possible diverted to companies that provide reuseable material. Councillor Higdon asked if the town can expect full environmental assessment hearings before any land- fill site is located in Picker- mg - Jim Wiseman said that there will be no incinera- tion of long distance haulage of garbage. In- cineration provides very highly toxic ash. He could not support taking Durham's waste elsewhere and he felt that Durham should not be taking Metro's garbage. Concillor Van Kempen stated that he hopes the town and Jim W -meman can work together for the bet- terment of the people in the Region of Durham and Jim Wil -roman agreed. Acting Mayor Brenner stated that this is the first time the council has had a Member of the Provincial Parliament in chambers for an informal discussion. He further inquired into the status of the Alton Forest, the Rorge Park and the Pinegrove Forest. Jim Wiseman said that the Premier has indicated there is support for the Rouge Park but there are many pig obstacles. The province can impose a Provincial interest designa- tion and this may be con- sWered. He tries to keep the various ministers aware of the feelings of the residents and ensues that the various planning pro cesses are accessible to the public.

Page 2 THE 'NEWS POST Wed. July 8, 1992 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Seniors Could Face Higher Drug Costs Seniors could face higher costs for both prescription and over-the-counter drugs with the provincial government's announced plan to cut $140 million from the Ontario Drug Benefit (ODB) plan. Ontario Health Minister Frances Lankin recently an- nounced that the government plans cuts to ODB which covers drugs for seniors and others on fixed incomes. "Ontarians paid $4.2 billion in out-of-pocket health care costs last year, and this amount may grow as the govern- ment continues to shift the responsibility to individuals." says Peter Wiln-ishurst, director of individual marketing for Ontario Blue Cross. Out-of-pocket health expenses are largely for drugs, dental care. vision care, and semi- private hospital accommodation. "By reducing drug benefits, further gaps in OHIP are be- ing created." Wilmshurst added. "Since seniors and those on fixed incomes are the beneficiaries of ODB. it is likely that they will be pa%ing more for drugs." Ontario Blue Cross, a not-for-profit company, has been an innovative leader in providing health insurance in Ontario for more than 50 years. Among the measurers announced aced in the goverrunent's supplementary health budget paper is a review of services now covered by OHIP. Some of the services under review are chiropractic. podiatry and osteopathic services. The government has frozen its existing payment policy for these services until the review is complete. These services are currently among those that are only partially funded by OHIP. "Elimination or further reduction in OHIP payment for services may mean further gaps in coverage that will have to be paid for by individua ." Rdmshrust says. --Those most at risk are people who are not covered by group plans - people who have lost their jobs, seniors, and employees of small business. " The cost of medical services and equipment not covered by OHIP have risen dramatically. For example, the average drug prescription increased 49 percent in the past five years. a semi -private hospital room rose 95 percent in the same time period. and dotal care increased by 29 per- cent. Ontario Treasurer Floyd Laughren has said much of the SM million the expects to be able to cut from Ontario's health care spending will come from OHIP. This will be in addition to the previously -announced limits on transfer payments to hmpitals of one percent this year. Enough Is Enough This is an open letter to the Scarborough Treasurer and all government employees with special emphasis on our school trustees. Enclosed is my 19M tax bill. As usual i will be paying it using a fair and equitable assessment system. I will not be paying the increases imposed by Metro or by the Board of Edw-atron. Enough is enough.

Here and There Canada Post Reports Loss Despite a net loss of $128 million due mainly to last year's postal strike. Canada Post Corporation forecasts a recovery and return to profitability in 1992-1993. Revenue from postal operations grew 1.7 percent to $3.8 billion, but the loss from postal operations was $101 million compared to $75 million income the year before. Canada Post posted a net profit of $14 million in 1990-1991.

Mahisfiram Canada The Guesswork Of Forecasting ay Mid wl Wj043r 'We should all be concerned about the future because we will have to spend the rest of our lives there.- (Charles Franklin Kettering). This simple philosophy has not been ignored by the vast oommrm.ty of fortune Idlers who have long capitalized on our fascination with the future. Gazing into their crystal ball, flipping over tarot cards or staring intently at well -lined palms, these self-appointed soothsayers bold their public rapt with frightening predictions of calamisota events or visions of utatpreeendented happiness so unfold. Amidst a muddle of visions. warnings and propbe- c es. bovmver. the truth ohm gets lost in the shuffle. Trying to discern the -truth' about the direction of the Canadian economy is the am- bition of farecamimg agencies such as the Conference Board of Canada. The Board made headlines recently when it delivered a pessimistic projec- tion that the economy is in danger of falling back into recession. It revised its 1992 economic growth estimate downward for the second time, from 2.1 per neat to 1 per cent, while instructing btulsi- nesnes to put expansion pians on hold. Forecasting agencies like the Board plug government statistics into an econometric model (a mathematical formu- la that describes the operation of the economy) to come up with their projections. The weakness in this form of forecasting, according to Canadian Federation of Independent Business Presi- dent, John Bulloch, is that while seeming like a soplsisti- aied analysis, its projections are really more bike an edn- ated gthesa. -There are just too many variables playing on our ecom- oay today to rely on any one model or mhos of measure- ment," Bulloch said_ 'Tbe government statistics are suspect with the explosive growth of the underground econoay. croaa-border shop- ping and home businesses. As well. the structure of the ecenoay is changing as busi- alesa becomes more special- ized and international-' The growth of cross-border shopping and the bergeoning underground economy re- present billions of dollars of unrecorded activity that macro- economic models simply do not pick up. By contrast, CFIB's own data (based on current opti- mism expressed by members) points to a definite improve- ment in the economy's for - tones. Ahhough the recovery is slow and difficult, -the mood among entrepreneurs. - states Bulloch, 'is more optimistic in the second quarter of 1992 than in the previous eighteen months.' Clearly, the limited scope available for predicting the direction of the economy ren- ders any forecast marginally effective. Like the fortune teller's crystal ball or tarot card, economic models used by forecasting agencies provide only a glimpse of the truth. CFIB Feaft" Service Give A Gift That Lasts All Year!

Westwater, City Clerk and Returning Officer Page 6 THE NEWS/ POST Wed. July S. 1"2 Bill Watt's Worlds THEATRE SCENE: Toronto is most certainly a theatre city. Phantom of the Opera is still playing to AM houses at the Pantages, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat continues to jam at the Elgin and Kiss of the Spiderwoman still weaves its spell at the Bluma Ap- pel. The O'Keefe has just concluded a smash run of Cats and is preparing for City of Angels. Those are just a few of the city's attractions. What about the Royal Alexan- dra? Les Miserables finally concludes its long and honourable tenure there shortly and then embarks on yet another tour. (In- cidentally, our confidential source -Deep Note -whispers that the production will eventually fund a perma- nent home with the Cana- dian Opera Company as part of the latter's perma- nent repertoire.) What's next then for the venerable Lady of Toronto theatre? How will it follow Les Miserables? Very nicely. thank you. Consider the following. Buddy returns on July Lyth, to run until Sept. 12th. This is the same production as has triumphed here before but with a new cast. 11T be interesting to com- pare (Trip Ebsen with Paul Hipp in the title role. The latter's interpretation of Buddy Holly is considered by many. indud ft years trWy, to be well nigh definitive. Well. let's wait and see. Buddy will be followed by the local premiers of The Secret Garden running till Oct. 31st. Then comes Neil Simon's Lost in Yonkers, another local premiere. Yonkers won for Mr. Simon a Tony, Drama Desk, Outer Critics', and Drama League awards as well as a Pulitzer Prize. Associated press wrote of it, "We always knew Neil Simon could make us laugh. We didn't know he could break our hearts too.' The next major attrac- tion announced to date is the pre-broadway opening of Blood Brothers, the award winning musical by Willy Russell opening on Feb. 12th, 1983. Also announced is a brand new production of Guys and Dolls, direct from Broadway. It's dif- ficult to believe that this musical based on the writings of Damon Runyon fust played Broadway in, we believe, 1949. We've seen countless productions of it and still consider it one of the better musicals ever written. It's scheduled to rush Feb. 12th to Apr. 3rd. Between Blood Brothers and Guys and Dolls, Miss Saigon will open at the brand nes • and as yet un- named theatre built especially for it just west of the Royal Akx. Not to put too strong a point upon it but Miss Saigon is the spectacular wort in which a helicopter lands on stage from the roof of the theatre. The O'Keefe is the only other theatre in Toronto that might have been able to house the stow but it's hemmed in by contractual KALLYIS BANOUETS a RESTAURANT 430 Nu9 d Ave. Sarbwmo 293-4292 DINNER No.1 M-00 SALAD - House Dressing Fresh Rolls - Butter ROAST PRIME RIB OF BEEF Roast Potatoes Baby Carrots - Peas PEACH MELBA COFFEE DINNER No -2529.00 SALAD - House Dressi ng Fresh Rolls - Butter CHICKEN CORDON SWISS Roast Potatoes Baby Carrots - Peas PEACH MELBA COFFEE Special prices available Monday to Thursday °races ,dude sales tax and serv,ce and tr-} BE WATER SMART. oivris w VAM wAM sUnW UM. �� coria ACTfW ® .r,era KPCrrCA."M 8111 -d 110.0 Around and Abou a Your Dining &Entertainment Guide obligations to the National Ballet and the Canadian Opera companies.

Actually, we're surprised that there aren't more dance dubs who have picked up on From Argen- tina With Love. The Zam- be, CThacera and Cueca are naturals for those who love to dance. Now, excuse us while we go and try the Malambo, if we can fund the old Cuban ART SEEN: Visual artists are advis- ed of an opportunity to show and sell their works at Queen's Quay Terminal, Harbourfront.

Vancouver based, this salon music group is mak- ing its Eastern Canada debut on Sunday at 3 p.m. Your writer has a liking for salon music -as opposed to chamber music -and sug- gests that Viveza demands custom.

It's true that some unruly children can sometimes behave in a goatish way but it's unfair to describe all young ones as little goats.

It's only a half hour piece in which A Cry for the Com- mas Loon explores the life threatening predicament faced by low chicks. Doing their first eleven weeks of life they are unable to fly and must feed on the food found in their natal lakes. Frequently they don't survive because the takes are unfit for sustenance. The culprit is acid rain: the vitt nss are the helpless chicks who die needless deaths. Perhaps some of our government leaders (leaders? -it is to laugh!) should be forced to watch. Then instead of artfaying around with a constitution that needs no change, they might just consider impor- tant matters ... like saving our lakes. We have spoken.

"Act One" Producing New Play "Leaving Home" "Act One", a community-based theatre company, has worked for the past three seasons, raising money for charities supporting women and children. After the success of last year's production of Beth Henley's Pulitzer prize-winning "Crimes of the Heart", the company donated almost :2000 to the Emily Stowe Shelter for victims of family violence. This year "Act One" is producing Canadian playwright David French's award-winning play "Leaving Home". The company has evolved in the scope of its projects and its ability to reach a wider au- dience. "Leaving Home.. will play in the Extra Space Theatre at Tarragon Theatre. near Bathurst and Dupont. "AM 'One'. founders An- nette Stokes -Harris and Martin Harris made the important decision this year to produce only Cana- dian plays. While they hope to produce original Cana- dian drama in the future. .Ip 2'.rinig Home" was an irresistible project for the group- 'Ibis play examines a day in the life of a New- fordand family who has relocated in Toronto's Fast End. The characters in the play confront their per- sonal sense of dislocation and experience of the dysfunctionality which is part of so many family ex- periences. The play centers on the relationship between the father, Jacob, played by Brendan Wall, the eldest son Ben, played by Mat- thew Yeldon and the mother, Mary (what else?), played by Beth Jost. Jacob and Ben each con- front their own sense of failed manhood while Mary acts as both Mediatria and Equivocator to her hus- band and son. Consistent with the community-based philosophy of "Act One, the proceeds of this year's production will be donated to Youth Assisting Youth. Already, over SMW has been raised for the organization, making this "Act One's" most suc- cessful year ever. While the charitable nature of the production and the accessibility of the Tarragon are reason enough to attend the play, the irresistibility of the story and the brilliant ensemble playing of the cast make for a theatre ex- perience well worth the $8 you will give to Youth Assisting Youth. "Leaving Home" plays 8 p.m. from July 7th - lith and at 2:30 p.m. on July 12th at the Tarragon Extra Space, 322 Howland Ave. (northeast of Bathurst and Tkdkets are S8 each for July 7th - lith and 'pay what you can' on July 12th.

FOODLAND ONTARIO O Q � �ND �` Wed. July 8, 1992 THE NEWS/ POST Page 7 .m Rene Soetens, M.P. Government contracts -now here's an issue that has recently garnered much media attention. Most people are concerned -and rightly so -as to where and how the govern- ment spends its money. But not everyone seems to unders- tand that government procurement is not only essential to the service of the public, but also represents a wealth of business opportunities for suppliers across Canada. Of course, government departments must procure a con- siderable number of contracts in order to operate at an ac- ceptable level. Supply and Services Canada (SSC) is the government department that is responsible for the acquisi- tion and provision of these goods and services on behalf of other departments and agencies. The goods and services that SSC provides encompass everything imaginable: pan- ting and publishing. film and video services: exhibitions and displays: and engineering and science products and services -they are all purchased by SSC. Overall. SSC pro- cures 55% of the total goods and services bought by the federal government. Recently. L received some statistics that give the dollar amount for contracts that were awarded to Ontario Riding firms over the past four years. Since the fiscal year 1986-89. SSC has awarded 572.643.483 worth of contracts in Ontario Riding. This is a significant amount. and remember -it's on- ly 55% of total federal government procurement. Obviously. many businesses in Ontario Riding are taking full advantage of this excellent and vital resource. But 1 am sure that there are many other businesses that are not reap- ing eaping the benefits of these profitable opportunities. To those latter businesses. I can only say get involved. Make sure that you are not ignoring valuable business prospects. And it has recently become osier for you to get in on these opportu ruties. Earlier this month. Supply and Ser- vices introduced the Open Bidding System 1 OBS,. This system provides businesses with the information they need to identify and bid on federal government prvcu rement op- portunities. This user-friendly, automated bidding system gives suppliers fast and effective access to government contracts of 525.000 or more. The system eliminates outdated conditions -inclusion on a governmerit source list is no longer required. waiting for an Invitation to bid is rww obsolete. the unproductive tur- naround time waiting for documents is dramatically reduc- ed. It also provides daily updated information on govern - Met purchasing requirements in yaw product or service area. Although the OBS is configured primarily for electronic data transfer, those without a computer or communications hardware can also use the system and order delivery of bid documents. I urge any interested businesses to pursue these opportunities with the federal government. To subscribe to OBS. call I-90-361-46:3..

But where did names like Bloor. Spadina. Gore Vale. Manning. and De Grassi come from' Our first streets were named in 17913 by Lieute- nant Governor John Sim- coe when he laid out the first 10 blocks of what was to become Toronto. He fallow*ed the carlurlon call- o5nal practice of honoring the royal family: the streets Frederick and George, for example, were named after sons of King George III. Many early streets were named for the first families of Toronto and their friends. Russel. Willcocks, Denison, Baldwin, Janis. Lippincott. Cawthra, and Boulton were all named for elite land owning families who controlled the politics and economy of early Toronto. Their children and spouses are remembered in streets such as Lippincott, Hep- bourTle, Dewson, Phoebe, and Robert, just to name a few. We are reminded of their estates when we see Spadina (the home of William Baldwin), Gore Vale ( the home of Duncan Cameron) . Grange (the home of D'Arev Boulton), and Dovercourt (after the home of Richard Lippincott Denison) . Finally, even their glomes in the Old World served as an inspiration for street names: Rathnally and Fermanagh were the Irish birth places of William J. McMaster and Col. Walter O'Hara. respectively. Throug}"" the 19th and eariy 20th centuries, Toron- to streets were generally named to honour notable members of the communi- ty, including churchmen i Power. Stewart, and Strachan), businessmen and financiers (Bloor. DeGrassi. Leslie, and Massey). and politicians at all kwvels: Slmcoe and Col- borne were lieutenant - governors: Geary, Howland, and Manning were mayors: Blake. Mowat. and Whitney were premiers of Ontario. The tradition of using street names to com- memorate people who have made a contribution to the community continues to this day and in 1961, Toron- to City Council asked the Toronto Historical Board to that would be historically accurate and suitable. The principles applied by the board to stivetnaming are: 1) the subject being commemorated must have a direct association with the city and be deceased; 2 ) names that could be con- strued as advertising must be avoided; 3) names that might be discriminatory or derogatory are unaccep- table; 4) street names are a part of the city's heritage and should not be changed. What are some of our favourites? Gothic because the street when seen from the air is shaped like the pointed arch commonly known by that name; the Esplanade which remembers the railway right -d -way built on piers in Toronto harbour in 1856; Mill after the Gooderham and Worts windmill that was a prominent Toronto landmark for many years; Parliament because the first Parliament buildings of Upper Canada were con- structed along It Just south of modern Front.

The property is located on the east side of Morrish Road between Ellesmere Road and Euclid Ave. It has a frontage of 53 feet on Morrish Road and a land area of 1.5 acres and is cur- rently undeveloped. A woodlot covers the majori- ty of the rear portion of the site, comprising a wide variety of tree species. The lands slope gently in a south-easterly direction. Included on the draft plan of subdivision are two .3 metres reserve blocks, one block to be developed with adjacent lands for a single detached dwelling and one block for road widening. Agincourt :Mall Council has agreed to repeal the Township of Scarborough By-law 2054, which applies to a driveway into Agincourt Mall on the west side of Kennedy Road, and incor- porate the area covered by this by-aw into the Tam O'Shanter Community By- law 12360. By-law No. 2054 was enacted in MM to regulate lands covering the north and south sides of Shep- pard Ave. extending west to Birchmount Road, and east to Brimley. Only one lot remains under this by- law today. It is located on the north-west corner of Kennedy Road and Shep- pard Ave. This parcel is us- ed as a driveway access in- to what is now known as the Agincourt Mall property. The by-law permits single-family dwellings. churches and libraries m the existing pared. Staff have proposed that it be rezoned under the Tam O'S-lhanter By-law to Com- munity Commercial to con- form with the restrictions and development stan- dards regulating the re- mainder of the Agincourt Mall site. The land, and the abutting lands to the north. south and west have been consolidated under the ownership of '.Marathon Realty Co. Ltd. Repealing this township by-law is also one small part of the city's By-law Review Program. The ob- jective is to have a single Community By-law which would be more understan- dable to the existing pro- perty owners and the public. Good Sthepberd Coatmauky (lurch Council is supporting the concept for a proposed ad- dition to the Good Shepherd Community Church, at 390 Bamburgh Circle on the northeast corner of Warden Ave. and Bamburgh Circle. The existing 1,319 square metres church is proposed to be expanded by 3 square metres to approximately 2,102 square metres. The number of parking spaces will be increased by 47 to a total of 127. The addition will provide space primarily for an after church meeting room, a kitchen, a library and offices on the ground floor and storage space and washrooms in the base- ment.

That's Racing! by Jerry Hudson 4 The Erin Maxx Trans -Am weekend featuring the Liquid Tide Trans -Am Tour was contested at Mosport on June 26, 27 and 28th, and fans saw the return of the "Big Three" car manufacturers for the first time in 22 years. Chrysler was represented by the Dodge Daytonas of Tom- my and Bobby Archer of Duluth. Minnesota. Unfortunately Bobby wrote off his car in a Friday practice incident leav- ing brother Tommy as the lone Dodge driver. Ford drivers included Toronto's Ron Fellows who won the '89 Trans -Am race at Mosport, and who is now racing for former star Tom Gloy on a Mustang. Other Mustangs were handled by Wayne Akers. Jerry Clinton. Wally Owens and Ed Hinchcliff. But the dominant make of car in the series remains the Chevrolet Camaros, and the most dominant is the Duracell Camaro of Scott Sharp of East Norwalk, Connecticut. Sharp wort last year's contest at Mosport. After qualifying there was no doublt about which car was the fastest. It was Scott Sharp lapping in 1:20.310 at an average speed of 110.22 mph who led the pack. In fact, Chevies were the top three cars. with Tommy Archer's Dodge starting fourth on the grid. Ron Fellows qualified in the number eight position. The fourty-tap race began under perfect conditions, with blue and sunny skies. From the outset Sharp powered into the lead and began motoring away from the field. but not by much. Scott consistently turned laps in the 1: 23 range. slow- ed from this qualifying speeds by a full tank of fuel. In contrast, crowd favourite Fellows in his AER MacKenzie Financial Mustang could not turn better than consistent 1:24's in the early laps. It didn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that at one second a lap. Sharp would beat Fellows by 40 seconds if that pace continued. But two full-conrse vellows slowed the race. allowing the cars to bunch up. At the end it was Scott Sharp's Camaro which took the win, lading from start to finish. Jack Baldwin took second and lies Lindley came in third to make it a one -two -$tree Chevrolet sweep. Fellows drove his heart out. and managed a fourth place finish, but obviously was disappointed with his Ford's Power. When approached after the race and congratulated on his drive and doing the best be coudd do under the cur - cu sstances. Fellows said. "'IEat's exactly right."

Erin Maxx is new to the Trans -Am scene as a sF I a Rr. although they have been wvdved with racing and many other sports through their collectors cards for years.

Average lodging and meal expenses are based on rates and prices for more than 2,200 CAA AAA inspected and approved lodgings and restaurants in CAA AAA Tourbooks and include the Federal Goods and Services Tax. Lodging rates used by CAA include a $5.00 daily charge per child although some establishments do not charge for children. Dining expenses represent three meals per day and include a variety of restaurant types. The CAA says a family of two adults and two children can expect to spend $94.57 a day for lodging and $110.23 a day for meals. There are significant regional dif- ferences in lodging and food casts. Vacation costs depend on a family's preference and budget, but higher costs can be expected during popular travel periods and near large metropolitan areas. Families should also make provision for outd- pocket expenses which in- clude any entertainment or recreational activities. A CAA membership will frequently provide substantial discounts for these types of activities at many facilities. To save on lodging, CAA recommends making reservations to ensure availability of the lodgings that best suit your budget. CAA AAA Tourbooks pro- vide special value and guaranteed member rates. If it is not possible to make a reservation in advance. travellers should arrive at destinations early enough to have a selection of ac- commodation and prices. Meal costs can be reduced by having the main meal at mid-day to take advantage of lower lunch prices, pic- nicking or enjoying "early bird" dinner specials. Where motoring is con- cerned, the family can ex- pect to pay $8.30 for each IOU km driven. CAA's driv- ing budget is based on a Chevrolet Cavalier with an automatic transmission driven 24,000 kilometres per year. The budget in- cludes gasoline and oil, maintenance and an allowance for tiro wear. These carats will vary ac- cording to the fuel economy of individual vehicles. Motoring expenses are based an figures currently being compiled for inclu- sion in the CAA publication 1992 - 1993 Car Costs.. which will soon be available from most CAA offices. The 3.5 million member CAA is the federa- tum of all not-for-profit pro- vincial and regmnal mato' dubs in Canada.

And feeling young has a lot to do with how active you are. Unfortunately, as people age flexibility tends to decline. This can in- terfere with mobility and ultimately independence - the quality of life that seniors value most. A new, upbeat video call- ed 'Moving To Live' teaches people how to take control of their lives and feel better. Dr. Art Burgess, the 63 year old Director of Fitness and Lifestyle Programs at the University of Alberta. demonstrates a series of 15 exercises that can be done at home. every day. in the kitchen, shower, lounge or bedroom. The simple stret- ches require no special equipment and are based on safe stretching techm- ques- '*This video is all about getting control of your life." says Dr. Burgess. "As people age they tend not to move about as much. But the more you move around, the more you can move around. 'Moving To Live' presents a series of simple stretches that im- prove overall flexibility and make people feel bet- ter about themselves." The video, which is 4o minutes long, can be used by individual seniors at home, as a teaching tool by fitness leaders or by health professionals within the of- fice setting. 'Moving To Live' can be done in one session or broken down into three sessions of about 12 minutes each. "For people who haven't been involved in regular exercise, the 12 minute ses- sions may be enough to start," suggests Dr. Burgess. "Once they have mastered that without any undue pain, they can build up to doing the full 40 minute video." A colourful poster, il- lustrating and explaining each of the stretches ac- companies the video. "We hope people will display the poster as a reminder to do the exercises as a part of their daily rata ine,' Dr. Burgess added. 'Moving To live' costs $19.95 ( not including taxes ).
