Julv 29, 1992 Opinion a page for expression for you and us About Driving by Bob Watson Have you noticed the number of new drivers on our roads who seem to be a little short on the skills necessary to be good on a large city's roads' Well. there are man• drivers who seem to believe that a right or left turn indicator should only be turned on as the car is turning. This leaves the other drivers awaiting infor- mation on the route of that driver. Then there are those on a narrow, two lane street who head for an intersection to make a left hand turn and drive their car to the right of their lane thus depriving another driver of the chance to make a right hand turn because there is not enough road width remaining. Of course. there are a few young people who drive at a fast speed and weave in and out of traffic. Fortunately, we believe there are less young drivers like that nowadays. Many of our new immigrants come from countries where car driving is not popular to average people. Canadian children get a feeling for driving by being in cars very much as they grow- up. This background seems to assist new drivers and make it easier to drive than many im- migrants. The answer is not easy as better driving habits may take time to accumulate. We hope better driving may take place in the near future.

On French Immersion Dear Editor: This is in response to a letter from Vona Mallory of Bar- rie. Ontario, proposing that Early French Immersion is child abuse. I am the Scarborough Chapter president for a Parents support group called "Canadian Parents for French". I have been involved on the executive committee for years and am well aware of the misinformation regar- ding French Immersion education. Before I address Van Mallory's allegations. let me tell you abort French Immersion in Scarborough. There are about 2,500 students in 7 junior public schools. 5 senior public schools and 2 collegiates. I have personally been to most of these dual -track schools (have English and French Immersion streams) and have attended graduation ceremonies Many of the top award winners in sciences. techhnoiog-v and matrematics are French Immersion students taking these subjects in English. Early French Imanersion in Scarborough works like this: there are no special qualifications to get into the program. senior kindergarten through grade 2 is in French only. English grammar instruction starts in grade three with one pend a day and increases in time until it is roughly 30:50 in grade 6. Senior public school Offers courses that Continue this 50:50 balance of language. Students who continue at the high school level may want to gain enough credits to earn a Certificate of Bilingualism as well as their O.A.C. certificate. Twelve of their courses must be in French over a 4.5 year period. These subjects in- clude: physical education. math. French language. drama, geography and history. and '.lot science subjects such as chemistry, biology and physics. At the high school level, French Immersion students in these subjects are in the same classes as students from the regular English arty stream. Late French Immersion. or Extended French wicks like this. It begins at grade 7 and there is an entrance exam. The program is very demanding and only students with high academic achievements are accepted. It is separate from the Early Immersion. Some comments about French Immersion Education in general. Early French Immersion has been a highly successful program and has been around in all parts of Canada for 20 years. There are about 300.000 students in various types of French Immersion programs across this country. It is The Most Researched Form of Education in Canada, and has been used as a role model in European countries, because in that part of the world one is not truly educated unless they speak 2-3 languages. Research i there are at least 300 studies at the Ontario In- stitute for Studies and Education) and more importantly, the educators themselves will say that by the middle grades (5 and 6), French Immersion students do as well as their English -program peers in English and mathematics. Some children drop out of the program. Not School as Here and There AWARDS GRANTS FOR AFFORDABILITY Nine proposals to help improve housing affordability have received federal grants under the Affordability and Choice Today (A. C.T.) program. A total of $90,000 in grants was awarded under the fifth round of the four-year, $1.4 million A.C.T. program, sponsored by CMHC, the federal government's housing agency. Resale Housing Market Edges Forward Residential resales in 25 of Canada's major housing edged ahead by 5.6 percent in June, compared to the same month a year earlier. Figures released by The Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA) show that the June increase follows two months of declining sales activity. Total unit sales reached 18,649 in June 1992, compared to 17,701 in June 1991. Statistics From 1986 In 1991, a senior over the age of 65, who received OAS. GIS and GAINS, collected $10,799--a few hundred dollars above Stats Canada's rural poverty line. In 1991, one third of Ontario's seniors had incomes suffi- ciently low to qualify for GIS --the Guaranteed Income Sup- plement. they head into senior public school and high school and career choices and options at various schools are evaluated. More than 2D% continue this very demanding grogram and complete high school with this Certificate of iii1ingualism I referred to. In many Scarborough schools. French is the student's rd language. It is not any longer an education preference „i white. English. Yuppie parents: Increasingly. new im- migrants coming to Canada with little knowledge of Canada's history of English -French tensions, are embrac- ing this program as an opportunity to give their children a competitive edge. I have been to a graduation at a col- legiate where the valedictorian was a male of Chinese background and an early French Immersion student who received his Certificate of Bi1oingualism that evening. Some comments about why people put their children in French Immersion. There are as many reasons as people - because they believe in our dual -language heritage. because they are of European descent and language is part of education, because family btackgound includes French or Frencn- Canadian, because learning language develops intellect (lots of research on this too!). because learning another language and culture may help to overcome prejudice, because the future belongs to people who can communicate and are open-minded .. . I myself am a first -generation Canadian, born of Esto- nian, Russian, German and Swiss background. My parents came to this country with the clothes on their backs and a cou4k of personal belongings. My first language was net English. My mother speaks five languages. 1 ended up hv- ing most of my childhood in Quebec, thus being exposed to Fnnhch. My husband comes from Irish and French- Canadian background. We speak English and French, are university graduates from McGill and Concordia Univer- sities. and have had successful business careers in marketing and sales management. My childiren are Cana- dian First, but I tope that they will be Cittnerns of the World - open to people. understand the nuances of different cultures, and take it upon themselves to grow and learn as long as they are an this planet. Who really knows wiry Vona Mallory and many others at- tack French so vehemently they make it a life-long occupa- tion. Who knows if she even has children who have been in Ontario's education system. Very likely she has never been in a professional position responsible for marketing pro- ducts and creating jobs. Let's not take the accusation of child abuse lightly. Child abuse is a society problem and has no language or class barrier' Let's not confuse education choices with child abuse. Is allowing your child an enriched education with oporturnities to travel, child abuse? Is the ability to fluently converse in another language brain damaging? Is the abili- ty to touch another's heart with some understanding of their upbringing, history, and culture despicable? Are all the people coning from other countries and immersing their children in Ontario schools also guilty of child abuse? I Think Not. As for Vona Mallory's attack of Canadian Parents for French, our local group receives money from membership and fiord -raising. Languages Commission and Modern Languages Teachers Associations on various research pro - jests and community activities. Any grants or money received by government agencies are dependent upon man- hours of work produced by the large network ( 18,000+) of volunteer parents.

In- timidating as the looming skyscrapers are they reflect Toronto's status as a modern, cosmopolitan ci- ty. Look closer and see Toronto as it was 100 years ago. The Toronto Historical Board has organized a new walking tour around old and new buildings of downtown Toronto. The tour focuses on history, architectural style, and preservation issues. "We want people to gain a sense of what early buildings looked like, and why it's important to ;preserve them." says Kathryn Anderson, tour leader and Preservation Officer with the Toronto Historical Board. Walking tours are free and will take place on Aug. 23 and Sept. 27. beginning at 1.30 p.m. Toronto began as a military garrison in 1790, and an early town soon grew east of Yonge St. While it's difficult to im- agine, Yonge St. was originally too swampy to settle! After the War of 1112 however, Yonge St. was opened up from Bloor St. south to the water, and the swampy section filled with gravel. Stores, warehouses and banks soon began to appear. The two hour walk begins at the clock tower outside the main entrance to union Station. Impressive Union Station reflects the power- ful and vital role of the railroad companies in the Canadian economy at the turn of the century. Begun in 1915, Union Station did W open until 1927 - its con- struction was interrupted by World War I. Threaten- ed with demolition in the 1970s, efforts to save Union Station were critical in mobilizing the grass roots preservation movement in Toronto. Across the street is the old Bank of Montreal building with carved stones depicting science, com- merce and the arts. hockey will soon have to be includ- ed as restoration is now in progress for the bank's re- opening as the hockey Hall of Fame. Travelling along King St. W., Anderson will discuss the new BCE Place. The developer worked with the Hlistorical Board to incor- porate the facades of Toronto's oldest exist comtnereW buildings into the new skyscraper. Built between 1844 and 1850, the buildings were constructed in the Georgian style, with second Empire additions. The modern building was set back from storefronts so you can still gain a sense of early Yonge Street. Next is New City Hall on Queen St. "It is a symbol that Toronto had come of age," Anderson states. Designed by Finnish ar- chitect Viljo Revell in a daring Neo -Expressionist style, it is truly a Toronto landmark. Walking north on Yonge St., participants will learn about its revitalization with the development of the Theatre Block, and the traditional feuding bet- ween the Eaton and Simp- son department store families. The walk ends at Mackenzie Base on Bond St. where participants are invited to visit the 1859 townhouse of Toronto's first mayor. and enjoy refreshments. Regular ad- mission rates apply for the house tour and refresh meats. Union Station is accessi- ble by public transit: exit at Union Station on the Yooge or University sub - Celebrate Simcoe Day At Todmorden On Mon. Aug. 3rd the Todmorden Mills Heritage Museasn & Arts Centre will higW*M the fouan&W of the 'ib Imwdeo Mills Set- tlement with a special Smrn- coe Day Celebration.

Future Classroom At Centennial Scarborough's Centen- mal College has received special funds from the On- tario government to in- vestigate changes in the way classes will be taught in the future. Under a pro- gram called Transition Assistance funding. Centennial was awarded $592,106 for five projects that will contribute to new efficiencies in postsecon- dary education. The largest project will see the installation of a multimedia computer facility. Multimedia uses a personal computer to link up a variety of information sources, such as videotape, CD-ROM and printed text, and edit them into a seamless presentation which can be recalled on a computer screen or classroom projector. Students will eventually receive instruction in everything from math to diesel engine repair using this technology. In a related project, college professors will be trained in multimedia programm- ing to allow them to transform their lessors in- to electronic format. With a significant portion of its students speaking English as a second language, Centennial's child project will give in- struction and develop training materials to enable professors to better communicate with these students. The training is a cooperative venture with four other Metro -area cob - Another )oumt project will see the Metro colleges work together to streamline the delivery of skills training to businesses, industries, unions and organizations, under the Ontario Training and Ad- justment Board (OTAB ) in- itiative. The fdth project will allow Centennial to enhance its use of the Onet Internet data net- work, permitting Ontario's colleges to share informa- tion and services more effi- ciently. fi-ciently.

On the Marry -Go -Wrong continues through Aug. 9th at the Barry Zukerman Amphitheatre but From Argentina With Love con- cludes its run at the Limelight Supper Club this weekend. One hopes it will return and receive the sup- port it so clearly deserves. The Limelight continues its Saturday and Sunday children's shows. The cur- rent production is a new work titled All the Candy in the World Doesn't Bring Happiness. We know a few adults who might disagree with that. MUSIC NOTES: With the possible excep- tion of John Gary and maybe, Ed Ames, Niel TormO is considered to be the pop singer with the truest pitch among those currently and still perform- ing. He is also a file com- poser (The Christmas Song -"Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire".), superb key boardist, excellent per- cussionist and arranger ex- traordinaire. He has it all and when he sings. each sang is caressed and even coaened to fulfill its ut- most. '.Maureen McGovern is also a stylist. one who can be so because she has a fine voice at instant and com- plete command. They will be appearing together at Roy Thomson Hall on Aug. 22nd at 8 p.m. performing The Great American Song book. Our advance advice is that there will be new ar- rangements by Mr. Torah of popular American com- posers such as Cole Pater. the Gershw•ins and Burt Bacharach. Miss on your reading list DON'T T.U.G.

Musical bliss: Our thanks to Opera Atelier for sending along advice of its Fall Season at the Elgin. The Marriage of Figaro opens on Oct 8th. This will be sung in English and a suitable caveat is of- fered by yours truly. Opening on Oct. 9th and then running in repertoire with Figaro will be the rarely performed Acis and Galatea by Handel. The descriptive notes for the latter production are in- teresting and provocative. They state that the or- chestrations are "by one of Handel's greatest fans -W. A_ Mozart". Acis and Galatea was written as a secular can- tata by Handel around the year 1720. W.!lMorart was born in 1756 about four years after the death of Handel. Now. he aright well have been a fan of the former and might well have orchestrated Acis and Galatea as claimed but we have this rmigglirng suspi- cion that it was perte, Leopold Mozart, who did the honours. Anyway. these should be two interesting and en- joyable productions. One loots forward to them. The Scarborough based Amadeus Clair announces an ambitious season. It opens on Sun. Nov. ath with performances of Bach's Magnificat and Faun's Requiem. That concert will be at the Church of the An- nunciation, 3 Combermere Dr. Our knowledge of Bach is insufficient for us to say whether or not the Magnificat to be performed is that by J.S. or J. C. Bach. Either way, it promises to be most enjoyable. Perhaps the Amadeus Choir could get together with Opera Atelier for a determination of who or- chestrated Acis and Galates. ON RECORD: A. & M. Records of Canada announces the launch of a new children's label, Childhood Favorites. It strikes us as odd that a Canadian operation would use the American spelling of favourites but, tant pis.) Childhood Favorites has been designed as an in- troduction to classical music for the very young and is said to provide a comprehensive overview of the great classics. The series is aimed at children aged three to seven. One cannot but ap- plaud the good intention behind the enterprise. Still, it has always seemed to us that children are best in- troduced to fine music by listening to that which their parents perform or play. Reminiscences can be bor- ing to others but we must advise that our children were humming the classics Kris Kristofferson At Stage West Singer, songwriter, movie star, Kris Kristoffer- son will appear in concert at Stage West Theatre Restaurant on Sun. Aug. 9 and Mon. Aug. 10. A member of country music's Songwriters Hall of Fame, Kristofferson nearly single-handedly re- juvenated the Nashville scene in the late 1960's and early 1970's with the classic hits "Help Me Make It Through the Night". "Me and Bobby McGee", "For the Good Times" and "Lov- ing Her Was Easier". As a performer Kristof- ferson, has met great suc- cess recording over 15 albums, including "Reposessed", "The Silver -Tongued Devil and I". "Jesus was a Capricorn.. ( which includ- ed the solid gold hit "Why Me") and three alburns with his former wife Rita Coolidge, and the sound- tracks for both "A Star is Born" ( with Barbra Strei- sand) and Songwriter" (with Willie Nelson) and "Highwayman" (with Willie '.Nelson, Wayion Jen- nings and Johnny Cash 1. As a songwriter. Kristof- ferson can be proud of the fact that over 380 artists have performed his songs. such as Johnny Cash, Roger Miller, Janis Joplin and others. As an actor. Kristoffer- son became an instant box- office draw. starring op- posite such stars as Jane Fonda ( "Rollover" ). Eller when they were three or even younger. Certainly they enjoyed them. Brahms' Lullaby anyone'. When the currant Oiym- pic Games conclude, port of the closing ceremonies will include the singing of Friends For Life -•'Amigos Para Siempre" by Jost Carreras. You can also hear it an the album of the same title on the East West Germany label released in Canada by Warner Music. The albun is a collection of fine romantic songs of the world sung in several different languages. The ti- tle song is sung with Sarah Brightman, former wife of its composer, Andrew Lloyd Webber. We repeat for the pro- bable umpteenth time that we deplore Rock. Even so, we continue to be amused by the inventiveness of some rock compositions; especially their titles. The Sire label trumpets the release of a collection by Talking Heads. The title of the album is Sand in the Vaseline and, if you know the reference, then shame on you. Now, consider two of the cuts on Sand et al, Sugar on My Tongue and Popsicle. Did we hear someone say ars gratia artis? Or, how about "I Love You" said Truman Capote, tongue in cheek. VOX POP: As a lover of history we are fascinated by les raisons d'etre that provide the impetus of social pro- gress or, at least, conti- nuance of same. Consider the search for silks in the far east, furs in the new world, spices all Burstyn ( "Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore"). Willie Nelson ( "Songwriter"), Barbra Streisand ("A Star is Born"). Other motion pic- ture credits include "Semi - Tough", "Convoy" "Heaven's Gate", "Trou- ble in Mind", his fust film "Cisco Pike" and "Pat Garret & Billy the Kid", which also featured his se - Gond wife Rita Coolidge. Kristofferson, the legend is not to be missed. See Kris Kristofferson with Danny Timms Crary Love and the Prophet. Tickets for the concert and Stage West buffet dinner are $44.95 per person, plus tax, available by calling the Stage West Box Office at 238-0042 or 1-800-263-0684. The Banjo Man Is Coming by Frank Knight A well known Scar- borough entertainer is Mel Collie. Known as the 'Banjo man' he has been strutting his special brand of enter- tainment on the Metro Toronto scene for over aD years. The banjo comes alive in his hands whether its Dixie Land Jazz. Roanng 20's or the old time Pub Songs. His relaxed easy going style soon has any audience sing- ing and participating with him. He is one of the founders of the Toronto Banjo Band and the Banjo Rascals. He is currently appearing at Heroagate Dinner Theatre with his group and m Sun- days at Cleaners Restaurant on Markham Road and on Kennedy Road. A special attraction will be his appearance with the Mtn" Rascals show - Variety '92 at the Scar- borough Village Theatre over the world and, in pire- sent times, the wrangles over oil. What will be the acct im- petus' Difficult to say of cease and only someone with the supreme ego of say, an H.G.Wells should hazard. Still, we found ourself wondering recently if entertainment -to sell the produce of those who spon- sor it ( snake ori?) -might be the way of the future. Con- sider the following. The Ontario Place Cor poration has announced the formation of a partnership with MCA Concerts and Molson Breweries to reconstruct the Forum in Ontario Place. Beginning m the autumn of this year, the existing Forum Island will be redeveloped to accom- modate an amphitheatre to seat 18,000 patrons. There will be 9,000 fixed seats under cover and 9,000 on the lawns. Now, lest anyone should be thinking bread and cirri, let it be recorded that MCA Concerts will manage and operate the new facility ( sounds like the Ontario Government Automobile Insurance plan doesn't it) under a revenue sharing agreement with Ontario Place. Well, we've always in- sisted that show business is 50% show and 504 business. Now, it appears that it's 100% the latter. Progress? Whence the new gladiators? The release from Ontario Place is quite interesting. One reads that the new pro- ject will provide 105 person-years (sic) of employemnt for the con- for two nights only Aug. 21st and 22nd. Mel also brings alive memories of George Form- by with his playing on his banjo-uke. This will be part of the show along with Jim Renshaw, comedian - entertainer, Rick Kerr entertainer -guitarist and Frank Williams with his comedy and sing -along in the 'Max Bygraves' style. The Musical Rascals have been entertaining all over southern Ontario at service clubs. seniors cen- tres. Harbour Front. Roy Thomson Hall and other places too nurrnerots to mention.

Yes' In the meantime, how about returning ninrg the Toron- to Symphony to the Forum now that it appears more or less alive again. ON THE TOWN: Stingray's (Bloor at Sherbourne) continues to snake inroads in the aught life of the city. On Wednesdays through to Aug. 12th it's presenting the comedy U=W Comedy On Wry. We haven't caught up with them as yet but Bob McAdorey seems to like them and you know how hard he is to please. T.V. SPOT: Kathy Rupcic returns from maternity leave Aug. 4th to resume her duties as program publicist for Channel 11. During her absence, the position was filled beautifully by Denise Dickie. The latter now returns to her former posi- tion in public rela- tions, promotion. Incidentally Denise, did you hear about the two an- cient sports, Antony and Cleopatra? FAST EXIT: There has been no deci- sion rendered as to whether or not we will elect to suc- ceed Alistair Cooke as host of Masterpiece Theatre on PBS. We are obviously somewhat younger than the distinguishd gentleman and palpably better looking but there are other con- siderations. Mind you, a groundswell of reader support would be .most encouraging. � Here & Add tropical twist _ There In to strawberry jam Pickering by Diane Matheson PIC'KERING N 1TURALISTS A couple of interesting field trips are coming up in August arranged by the Pickering Naturalists.

Canadians support Canada's involvement in NAFTA ( North American Free Trade Agreement) negotiations. That is the finding of a recent poll that was conducted on behalf of the federal government. The poll showed that 79% of Canadians believewe must be involved in three-way trade negotiations with the U.S. and Mexico in order to protect our interests. The findings of this survey indicate that Canadians are aware of the new realities that are being created by the evolution of global trade. The emergence of trading blocs worldwide necessitates a change in the way we view our own system of trade. There have been many fears expressed in the face of these negotiations. A common allegation is that Canadian jobs will fly south in favour of cheap Mexican labour. Ac- t ua lh , wages is only one of a number of factors in determin- ing a manufacturing site. If wages were the only factor, countries like Haiti and Zaire would be prosperous. The reality is that in June of 1990. the U.S. and Mexico an- nounced intentions to negotiate a bi-lateral free trade agreement. As U.S.-Mexico trade flourished. Canada had the choice to either stay out of negotiations and watch the other two countries prosper bilaterally. or enter into tri - party negotiations. Staying out of negotiations. in the short term. would have avoided some painful restructuring in some arras of the economy. But the real and inherent danger to staying out of negotiations would be the loss of competitiveness at the in- ternational level: almoist 25% of Canadian imports are used in the manufacture of Canadian exports. If the U.S. were to sign its own bilateral trade agreement with Mexico. it would obtain low-cost components. duty-free, from Mexico. if Canadian mamdacturers could not enjoy the same ad- vantage. the cost of goods sold would be relatively higher for the Canadian manufactur er. since we would be paying more for imports than the U.S. The result'. A less com- petitive Canadian product and a decline in Canadian ex- ports- Such a drop in demand for Canadian exports would then cost Canadian jobs. Meanwhile, those U.S. maeafacamen with access to cheap components would also have access to the Mexican market, a consumer base of about 86 million people. This wuxuid allow the U.S. to expand its economy, become more competitive toot only in Mexico but eLsew•hem ). and squeeze Canadian auarxdactu mm further outcasting even more Canadian jobs. Entering NAFTA is the only viable option for Canada. The alternative would be to price Canadians out of U.S. markets and eliminate them altogether from the Mexican market. Furthermore. Canada's absence from the bargain- ing table would deter wvuld-be investors who would find the U.S. as the only attractive option - the only country from where they could serve the Mexican. American. and Cana - than markets. remaining jam. ❑ Cover canner; return water to a boil; process 5 minutes at attitudes up to 1,000 ft (305 m). Remove jars. Cool 24 hours. Check jarseals.

Sounds like the perfect recipe for failure? Far from it, for PCE (Prototype (Circuits Inc.). a Scarborough -based builder of high-tech, multi -layer printed wiring boards (known as PWBs, and used for the transmission of computer information in aerospace and technical applications ) is enjoying a success based on the challenge that to be the best, you have to be willing to take risks. The 12 -year-old com- pany, which has leaped from 15 to 92 employees in the last five years, is doing so well that its client list in- cludes AT&T. IBM, Honeywell. Unisys and the University of Penn- sytvama. where PCI pro- ducts are used in the precise measurement of quarks (ek rental par- ticles that offer a new view an the make-up of the universe) in its atom - smashing cyclotron ac- ceie ator project. President Paul Langston has been nunniag PCI along with partners Leighton MacMillan and Barry Bristow since 1964. Wear- ing casual pants and an open -necked shirt, his look is far from grey -flannel corporate. So are his ideas. His mood is upbeat as he states simply that his company is in the business of taking risks. PCI constantly pushes the limits of what can be achieved in punted wiring boards to see just how innovative we can be." In Latgstna's business, small is better. Across the industry, companiesstrive to get greater capacility onto increasingly smaller, denser PRBs. Lines of fine metal far thinner than the diameter of a human hair are applied to wafer-thin boards, which are then sandwiched together ( hence the term "muniti layer") and used in everything from telephone equipment switching systems and computer ap- plications to military guidance systems and satellites. The fust thing to strike a visitor's notice at PCI's 3,340 square metre facility is its cleanliness. It's order- ly and neat: floors are spick and span. It's a philosophy that extends throughout, says Langston, adding that his company is one of the few in the In- dustry that properly treats its own waste water, with a system that cost $300,000 to install and adds an addi- tional $150,000 to the yearly budget. "A lot of shops don't do this," he says. surveying six large tanks bubbling away with the waste pro- ducts of the facility's elec- troplating and etching system (up to 20 kilograms of recyclable metal can be harvested from a tank). '-A lot of this stuff would other - Weise just go right into the lake." Concern for the environ- tnent is only one aspect of PCPs lead role in the in- dustry, says Langston. It's also a leader in developing and marketing the pro- totypes it creates. Prototypes account for up to a third of PCI's business. With 40 per cent of its sales to the U.S., mainly to the Northeast and Midwest. the company has grown from sales of $1 trillion in 1996 to $12 million in this current fiscal year. "In the last 12 months we've seen our sales in- crease 35 per cent.' says Langston. 'We're pro- fitable every year. What snakes us different is that we invest heavily in capital equipment. "Ithat capital investment (PCI spent $2.5 million on new equipment in 1991-92) is part of our challenge to be better. Our efforts have trade us the largest pro- totype shop in Canada." In the plant area. new machinery hums with precision as boards are prepared. In the testing lab, half a dozen resear- chers work frill -time to in- vestigate new methods for fi nand developing ee l ap- ing new ones. At points tWouagliout the shop, ad- vanced computer technology checks each board for flaws. Zero defects is the standard for quality. says Langston_ Aggressive promotion in the U.S.. primarily in the northeast and midwest. is helping to secure an American niche for PCI, says Langston. "Our U.S. sales have gone from 10 to 40 per cent in the last 16 months. " The U.S. will continue to be a major focus. In the next two years, U.S. sales are expected to hit the $12 to $13 million range and ac- count for 60 to 65 per cent of total sales, says Langston. In a $21 billion worldwide market, there's also poten- tial for international growth, though Langston allows that the company has only put out some feelers in that direction at this time. "Right now, with a Cana- dian market worth $300 trillion, we're pleased to be one of the top half dozen or so companies in this sector'," he says "With in- dustry growth estimated at five to seven per cert over the next year, we're con- centrating on attaining a greater share of the North American market." The success of that endeavour will hinge large- ly on the high skill level of PCI team members, says "We have a lot of people who have been with us a long time and who have ex- cellent skills and attitude in all aspects of the business," he says. "And we continue to keep our knowledge and skills cur- rent trough the most rcpt• to date training programs. "As a result, we've been able to maintain a technical lead. We've been able to handle new and ex- citing technologies " the ed ogyge Good renes stones from the Ministrt of EnrrLn Subterranean System Means Deep Discounts On Energy The quest to control costs at Ontario's institutions of higher learning has gone underground at Ottawa's Carleton University. Since 1989, the university has been saving as much as 60 percent of its overall energy costs. an estimated $450,000 a year, with an innovative heat exchange system that uses an underground aquifer to help heat and cod rine campus buildings. The university invested $2.'782,000 in the system. which is one of the largest in Nath America, with the Ministry of Energy providing about five percent of the total project costs. The ministry's Institutional Energy Management Program promotes energy efficiency in college, govern- ment, hospital, school, social service and university facilities across the province. Institutions can use the pro- gram to recover part of the costs of professional energy audits and complex energy metering, as well as a portion of the capital costs of making energy efficiency im- provements. Carleton's groundwater heat exchange system pumps water from almost 400 feet below ground level up to the sur- face, and mixes it with water in the university's heat pumps. The heat pump system works on simple exchange principles: Heat is either borrowed from the groundwater when the buildings need warming or transferred to the groundwater when the buildings need cooling. The system has reduced natural gas consumption at the university by some 2.3 million cubic metres per year. The innovative system is expected to pay for itself in just over four years. some have jokingly referred to the system as a "plumber's nightmare"— but the system is providing the university with the kind of savings that energy conser- vationists and environmentalists once only dreamed about. Let's Work & Make Canada Even Better Wed. July 29, 1992 THE NEWS POtiT Page 9 Is Your Home Insurance Keeping Up With Your Home ? These days most of us are watching what we spend and major purchases are often something we save for over a k>ng period of time. That's why it's becoming increasingly im- portant to protect our assets - they're tough to replace. One of the best ways to pro- tect what you've worked hard for is to make certain your home and personal property are ade- quately insured. While most of us have home insurance, we tend to pay little attention to the details of exactly what it covers and whether it's enough. Most policies cover your home and contents against losses from fire, vandalism, bur- glary and other perils, however the exact nature of the coverage varies from one policy to another. For example, some policies automatically insure contents for a percentage of the building limit, which means if your policy allows for 70 per cent and your house was in- sured for S 120,000, the contents would be insured for $84.000. This is where many people make a mistake," says Dolores Pokey. a home insurance expert at The Co-operators. "Eighty four thousand dollars sounds like a lot of coverage but when you do a quick inventory of your belongings and add up what it would cost to replace them. you might be astonished at the result. And S84.000 is often Mux enough." Dolores suggests three ways to make sure you have enough coverage. First, add replam- ment cost coverage to your policy. This ensures your loss will be paid based on the current cost replacing or the o(Mem, w any d�educ- tions for depteciatioa. It's eom- kirting to know stat if yarn tea year old bedroom smite is de- stroyed. you'll Set enough moery to replace it rather than simply tux armor . it's worth By M.H. Parnu today. Second, review your policy to see if there are any limits on items like jewellery, furs, or coin collections. For example, the limit on jewellery can range from SI,000 to S10,000, de- pending on your policy. Since these items may be worth more than your policy's limit, it's advisable to insure them sepa- rately based on their appraised value. 'Third, to help determine how much personal property cover- age you need and to help pro- vide proof of ownership in the event of a claim, take stock of the contents of your home. There are several ways to record this information. • Write down a description of Your possessions room by Loom and keep any receipts with the list. • Videotape a walk through your house, verbally de- scribing the items you're raping - include serial num- ber and purchase dates. • Take pictures of the major items and attach the receipt to the buck of the photo. It's important to update this record on a regular Arils It UL might be wise to leave it with a friend or in a safety deposit box so that if your home is damaged or destroyed, your record won't be destroyed along with your other things. Some insurance companies have developed inventory forms to make the job easter. The Co-operators, for example, has designed a Personal Prop- erty Inventory Record for homeowners and tenants. The form lists the most common household items by room, along with columns to record the cur- rent and replacement values. This Inventory Record form is available free of charge from your local office of The Co-operators, or you an write to: The Co-operators, in- ventory Form Offer, Square 5E, Guelph, Ontario� NIH 6P8.

Children's Sports Can Be Deadly Millions of children par- ticipate in sports. Although most sporting en- vironments are safe, all are not. In some cases, sport accidents have resulted in death or perma- nent disability. Each year, there are nearly 500 sports related deaths and tragic injuries. Almost half are children. The Safety Resource Centre, a program of the Ontario Ministry of Tourism and Recreation, provides safety related in- formation in the areas of sport, fitness, and recrea- tion.

Andretti has now won three of the seven events held at the CNE since 1996, this be- ing his second consecutive victory there. Bobby Rahal took second, the only other driver on the leading lap, followed in by Danny Sullivan, one lap down from the winner. Scarborough's Paul Tracy. 23, was the main hope for Canadians in Sun- day's feature as he in- herited injured Rick Mears' Marlboro Penske 92 Chevy VB B machine and qualified fourth on the star- ting grid. Tracy is only run- ning selected races in the IndyCar series this year. spending the majority of his time testing cars for Roger Penske. In the race. Paul lived up to all expectations, passing two cars to stay hot on An- dretti's beds in second place on the fust lap. But the nemesis of Penske cars this year, weak transmis- sions and drive -trains, again proved to be Tracy's downfall as it was in Detroit where he led the race for 19 laps before breaking the car. This time he completed 38 laps of the 103 -lap sprint and may have been able to win it had his gearbox not packed it is The other local driver was Scott Goodyear of Richmond Hill, driving the full series for MacKenzie Financial Corporation. Scotty had problems all weekend because of lack of testing time on road street courses and could only manage the eleventh star- ting position- He ositionHe drove his L92 Chevy VB A in a steady race despite a poorly handing car, finishing a very respectable sixth, two laps down to the winner. But for those not atten- ding the three-day race weekend, there were Cana- dian drivers involved in the supporting events not seen on television and sparsely reported in the major dailies. Saturday was Players Ltd. -GM day with two races, and the first to get under way was the Players Atlantic Series. These open -wheeled formula cars have highly tuned 1.6 litre engines and are capable of averaging over 90 mph at the 1.78 mile, eleven turn Wblson Indy track. The race was marred by four full -course cautions because of many accidents, and when the 42 -lap event was complete the winner was Willowdale's David Empnngham driving his Pert -Plus Canaska Racing Swift DE". Empringham graduated from the Players Ltd. GM Series last year and is devoting full-time to the Atlantic Series. The other race Saturday saw the Players Ltd. GM Camaros and Firebirds battle it out for 25 laps. Winning it for the fourth consecutive time this year was driving sensation Ken- ny Wnldei of Burlington on his Pringles Slick So Camaro. Second was Shan- nonville's Richard Sperwd, and John Cad- man. Jr. of Hamilton took third. The Indy Lights 42 -lap race saw a new driver to the series, East York's Kat Teasdale, making her debut. Her Midas, Toronto Sun McDonalds Leading Edge Buick suffered mechanical woes all weekend, and Teasdale was to start the race 13th out of 14 cars. But in the pace laps Kat's car crept down the Lakeshore straight. unable to put power to the road, and she had to park it at the entrance to Turn Three as the field roared by. It was an inauspicious beginning. but that's racing. . . She will have another oppor- tunity when the Indy Lights Series visits Vancouver along with the IndyCars on August 30.

Known familiarly as the BVI, life here centres on the natural riches of land, sea and sky. Nature's little secrets -those enlightening (and rare) moments when man and environment are in perfect harmony - provide an uncomplicated and gratifying escape from the stresses of modern life. If this sounds good, you might like to know a bit about our islands themselves. Tortola, pop 10,000 where most visitors arrive, has jagged mountain peaks covered with frangipani and ginger on its south coast. The north coast has white sandy beaches, groves of bananas and mangoes and clusters of palm trees, Mount Sage (1,750 feet), a National Park, shows traces of a primeval rain forest and has a notable nature trail. Road Town is the capital of the BVI, centre of ad- ministration and business hub. Here are shops, banks. Government House, and many visitor sights. in- cluding The Botanic Gardens, Folk Museum, and Tourist Board's Visitor Office. Famous as a buccaneer's hunting ground, Beef Island is bonne to the BVI's International Airport. The island is connected to Tor- tola by the territory's only toll -bridge, a narrow one - lane structure spanning a 300 foot channel dedicated by Queen Elizabeth II in 1966. Long Bay, an excellent shell -laden beach is on its north store. Nearby is Marina Cay, a six acre island where Robb White settled with his wife and wrote "Our Virgin Island". The film of the same title with Sidney Poitier and John Cassavetes was made here. Today it is home to a hotel -resort, well -protected anchorage and snorkeling reef. Virgin Gorda, pop 1,500, is a favourite stopover due to its unusual topography and ultra -laid-back lifestyle. Really three islands in one, the southern third is flat with giant boulders, sparse vegeta- tion reminiscent of the Old West and a light aircraft landing strip. The middle of the island is mountainous with Gorda Peak (1,370 feet) and several lovely beaches, principally Savannah, Devil's Spring and Trunk Bays. The northern third is quite spindly and situated around North Sound with half a dozen other islands, forming an almost landlocked oasis for water sports and island explor- ing. An abandoned copper mine on the sea and The Baths, a unique rock for- mation with dimly -lighted sea caves, are the island's main sights, along with notable resorts, hostelries and anchorages, Anegada. pop. 250, is the BVI's only coral island in an otherwise volcanic chain. The island's highest point is so low (28 feet), that arriving by boat, it can barely be seen. Mile -long beaches are the norm, plus extensive reefs and more wrecks than any other Caribbean island. It's a diver's dream and can be reached by ferry and light aircraft. Looking out on The Drake Chantel are Ginger. Cooper, Salt. Peter and Norman Islands. Ginger Island is uninhabited and rugged but can be explored by the hardy- Cooper Island has a good swimm- ing and snorkeling beach, boat jetty and popular beach club which welcomes visitors. Salt Island has evapora- tion ponds which are still panned as they were two centuries ago. The pt" salt is packed, sold and us- ed all over the islands. PeterIsland, home to a major hotel and yacht club, also boasts very pleasant secluded beaches and pic- nic spots, including Dead - man's Bay. Sprat Bay and Great Harbmu . Norman Island is believ- ed to be the ongiml site of Robert Louis Stevensort's '-Treasure Island Hidden riches have been found here and local lone says more is to coax. Treasure Point has three caves which may be entered by small boat. Jost Van Dyke. named for a noted Dutch pirate, is mountainous, has lovely beaches, tropical restaurants and watering holes at Great Harbour and White Bay. Telephones were not installed for its 100 -plus inhabitants until 1990. Neighbouring Little Jost Van Dyke was the bir- thplace of Dr. John Lett - some, founder of the Lon- don Medical Society- It's tiny neighbour. Green Cay. nearly ringed by beach, is the ultimate "desert island" and has been featured in commercials. Other islands reveal countless more of nature's little secrets. Fallen Jerusalem's bizarre rock formations make it look like a destroyed city. Guana Island is a living laboratory and wildlife refuge with ten times the species of flora and fauna usually found on islands its size. Dead Chest is reputed- ly the barren island where Blackbeard marooned 15 mutiny -minded men with one bottle of rum. There's so much more. But the best way to find out just how exciting and rewarding a BVI holiday can be is to come discover nature's little secrets for yourself. r �r Wed.

Murphy, Community Manager, Bank of Mon- treal, North Vork The basics of mortgage terms Before you begin to look for a mortgage, a meeting with your lender is a wise move. As you are given a run-down on the various offerings ask him or her to pause and explain whatever term you don't quite understand. Here are some terms to arm yourself with as you go forward into the market place. Start with the basic terms that refer to payment - prin- cipal, interest. taxes, amortization and term. In addition, you should also understand the role of the mortgage ap- praisal in deciding your financing. Briefly, Principal is the amount of money borrowed. Paymentswill comprise a portion of both principal and in- terest, interest being the cost of borrowing. You will fre- quently hear the term P.I.T. in relation to mortgage payments. This refers to Principal. Interest and Taxes. Often, but not always, one -twelfth of the estimated yearly property tax is included in your mortgage payment. The term "amortization" refers to the length of time over wNch payments are spread. Each time the mortgage is renewed over the lifetime of the agreement, the amortiza- tion can be altered depending on how quickly you want to pay down the debt. An initial term of five years may have payments based on a twenty-five year amortization period. The second term of two years may, at your• option, reduce the amortization period to ten years, meaning that larger payments will be made. The larger the payment, the greater is the portion of principal being paid down. Term is the length of time which the mortgage agreement covers. Terms can vary from six months in length to seven years. At the end of each term. the mortgage can be renew- ed at the prevailing rate. During the life of a mortgage, it may be renewed several times. The value of the property decides the maximum amount of money that can be lent. Because of this, the lender will send a qualified professional to conduct a mortgage ap- praisal which will include the land, the home. and the market values in the area. This will be at your expense. Options you should know Open vs closed mortgage An open mortgage allows the borrower to repay as much in addition to the agreed monthly payment as he or she wishes at any time. A closed mortgage, on the otter hand mnay offer limited ptepayTnent privileges and usually car- ries a lower interest rate for the equivalent term. Open mortgages are generally not available for longer terms. Fixed vs v ariable interest rate The mortgage may be fixed for the mortgage term which can be as long as seven years. Alternatively, the mortgage rate may, if you choores, be variable. That is, it can change. usually monthly a. money market condktios change. Variable rate mortgages are attractive when in- terest rates are expected to decline. Equity Equity is the amount of money that would be left if a pro- perty were sold. This takes into consideration any outstan- ding debts registered against it. For example, if you sold your house for $2W.000 but. had $50,000 still outstanding in mortgage debt, your equity would be sno,000 less any costs such as selling agent's and legal fees.
