August 12, 1992 Opinion a page for expres-sion for you and'us About CBC Program Earlier this year, the CBC aired a T.V. series (-,The Valour and the Horror"). Two of the episodes -dealing with Bomber Command and The Normandy Campaign -have been the subject of objections from veterans and many historians. The film was produced by Galafilm of Montreal (a privately -incorporated company affiliated with some high- profile CBC journalists). Perhaps on the assumption that they could not defend their tt?ecage. the producers began attacking the messenger. The CBC officials mounted a major offensive, labelling a Senate enquiry an "inquisition". A number of senior jour- nalists supported the CBC. On the other hand, evidence con- demning the film by some of Canada's leading war historians never got into the media reports.

August 12, 1992 Bill Watt's Worlds AT THE LIMELIGHT: Don't be put off by the rather pretentious title. The Evolution of Jazz. It's a good, tight show that pro- mises all that the title im- plies while eschewing pretension and delivering entertainment. Oh, it's not perfect. For one thing. Blacks aren't the sole progenitors of jazz: there was input after all from such as, for example. Eddie Condon, Bix Beiderbecke. Buddy Berigan and even. Sauter- lFinnegan to name just a few non whites in no notable chronology. Neither did jazz evolve OW of Southern Baptist prayer meetings. Scottish Covenanters were praising the Lord musically long before the infamous slave trade that brought Blacks to America. Come to that. Jews have always worship- ped in song. Even so. and making due allowance for a too short performance time frame. Evolution is a straight for- ward review that enter- tains as well as instructs. Oh my how• it entertains with music. singing and dancing. The singer narrators are Tanya Rich and Ron Small. The former is at her best with the gospel music but also delivers a fine. creditable Billie Hioihday with Good '.Horning. Hear- tache. The latter nicely evokes Cab Calloway with Minnie the Moocher. One had almost forgotten about Kickin' the Gong Around with Smokie who was cokey. Good stuff: wish he might include Abe Gezant in future performances. The dancers are Karen Gayle and Arthur Rose. They're good and watching them transports those with memory back to the old Harvest Moon Balls and the jitterbug finals. Dam - mit. just where are our pa- tent dancing pumps anyway' Joe Sealy leads the band from the keyboards and. heretical though it night soul, in our opinion he does so better than Duke Ellington and or Count Basie ever did. One takes nothing away from the two gentlemen but their au- diences wanted to bear them and they played up front rather than in sup- port. Mr. Sealy. can and does play up front but for the most part supplies fine rhythm piano much in the manner of Fats Waller. And. he also does an ex- cellent Albert Ammons with his Boogie-Woogie. Rick Donaldson plays good forties and early fif- ties stvle drums and the more exotic percussion is provided by Kjas, Rick Lazar and Rudy Williams • one of whom looks like Pharoah Sanders. Doug In- nis rounds out the rhythm section with quiet, firm authority on guitar. Dougie Richardson plays excellent saxophone but sometimes it's hard to take him seriously since his hair style makes him look like Whoopi Goldberg. That ain't bad mind you, but the spectacle of Whoopi in shorts playing sax is just a tad distracting. Dave Dunlop is the token white on trumpet and wails a mean horn. One of the numbers is a tribute to the legendary trumpeter Bud- dy Bolden. He was said to have been heard fourteen miles away when playing. That's an impossibility of carie but listening to Mr. Dunlop. one starts to think. well maybe. The Evolution of Jazz is a good show: maybe even, a great show. It's most cer- tainly worth custom. par- ticularly for those who, like your writer. know and ap- preciate good jazz. Regrettably. it runs only until August 22nd. So don't delay your reservations. Good discounts for parties of 10 or more. Opening on August 27th and running to October 4th is the popular and clever revue. Closer Than Ever. Why it hasn't been record ed vet is unknown to us. It most certainly deserves to be. Having said that, let it also be noted that. like all sbows• it's better seen and bard live. You have been advised. Following Closer Than Ever will be Happy Birth- day. Al Capone for which open Equity auditions are currently beirhg beid. We're not sue if this is the same show that recently played at the GwIdwood Dinner Theatre and confess some reservations about anything that tends to put the infamous Al Capone in a more or less favourable light. We felt the sameway about the wildly successful Borrie and Clyde. Anyway. we'll keep you pied. AT THE O'KEFFE: Cleo Laine, John Dankw•orth and Henry Mancini conclude their all too short engagement this evening. if you're reading this in an early edition. then you still have time to see if any tickets are still left. Do it' Next Tuesday, Evita returns for yet another ap- pearance. Toronto can't seem to get enough of this Andrew Lloyd Webber work. We suspect it's because there are nuances t BE WATER SMART. WM w SWULN WAM SUTM UM. 0. -,_.oTVC 911orRAM Around and About Your Dining &Entertainment Guide in it that require repeat viewings to be realized. What ever the reason. Evita remains an endur- ing. perhaps even endear- ing, favourite. Then, on August 25th, Michael Crawford opens with an evening of Andrew Loyd Webber music. We are among the many who have mentioned that Loyd Webber seems stingy with the number of vox pop melodies in his shows. There are usually just two, max. That's not because the composer is incapable; it's simply that he's businessman enough to realize that his shows are successful anyway, so w•hy squander his talent filling one show with several ratable melodies when he can fill several with a few. Anyway. Mr. Crawford will be presenting the best from several shows so that one is assured of an even- ing of popular music im- peccably presented. For those few, who might be unaware. Mr. Crawford was the original Phantom of Andrew Lloyd Webber's Opera. We particularly en- joy his singing of I Want To Be the First Man You Remember from Aspects of Love. For this producion he will be accompanied by a 37 piece orchestra and a choral ensemble of twelve. This is a fine show•, one that presents the music of Andrew Lloyd Webber at its surprisingly prolific best. AL F'KlSlO: This dreadfulsummer has been a trial for outdoor productions but many are still soldiering on. The Canadian Stage Company is now presenting "Chapter o1" of the Wars of the Roses in High Park with "the rise of Edward 04'. Despite the sophomoric titling, it should be noted that the works are pr's by p'ofessiorials, not well intentioned amateurs. This is Shakespeare -well. more or less -and its aims are muchly to be applauded. More than that, they are muchly to be supported. There are few• experiences finer than the words of the Bard on a Summer's eve. even such a summer as this. At the Barry Zukerman Amphitheatre tonight and tomorrow evening, it's a reworking of Aristophanes' The Birds re -titled Cuckooland. Why the re- t (tling. why the re- ,Aorking'. Well, the release on it tells us that this is a vigorous new, female - driven rendition of the classic. The ancient text has been contemporized and feminized by 23 writer performers. To which, this writer can only add an agonized Why' This Friday. Rocki Rolletti and his Junior Noo- dle Wave Band open at On- tario Place as part of the Dempster's Children Festival. Okay. Mary? oX RECORD: The release notes for Big Sugar ( Hypnotic -A.& M.) describe it as "a blues hand. a defiantly unor- thodox blues band that meets up with Jimi Hen- drix on its way to New Orleans and Louis Arm - Local Artists In Roy Thomson Concert There's no business like show business for over Soo of Ontario's finest annual Royal Bank Seniors' Jubilee Concerts, Aug. 17-20 at Roy Thomson Hall. The four day celebration of talent, energy and ex- cellence, hosted by CBC Fresh Air personality Bill NcNeil, is the only major variety show in the country to showcase every form of entertainment, including concert and dance bands. chairs and soloists. corn-_ dians and ventriloquists. tap dancers and folk ensembles. The "Jubilee" begins at 11:30 p.m- daily at Roy Thomson Hall with the Job - by program. This includes sing -a -longs, dance bands and novelty acts. At 1 p.m. it's showtime on the auditorium's main stage. A different show will be presented each day with more than 70 acts featured over the four days. This year's program includes crowd pieasers from years' past as well as marry neer faces. Among the many reps mentatives from Scar- borough this year's con- certs oo-certs are: "Queen of the Pearlies". Anita Scott in the auditorium on Mon. Aug. 17th and Wed.

The Jewish Community Centre ( JCC) Singers. strong. The band also plays jazz standards". They could hardly be more descriptive albeit exotic. This local trio is compos- ed of Gordie Johnson ( guitar and vocals) , Terry Wilkins ( bass ), and Al Cross ( drums) . It plays straight up blues in a deceptively straight up Branner. To the uninitiated, the instrumentation seems florid, even busy. Musi- cians and other blues lovers realize that what one is hearing are three musi- cians playing off each other with instinctive and respectful confidence. Licks, riffs and even hooks retain identity while never assuming mastery. Hey man, these cats groove. (We abstain from declaim- ing "mellow rooney". ) The first cut is Sleep in Late and it sets the tone for the rest of the collection. The high keening of the vocalist (we found the liner notes confusing and can't give a name) have the re- quisite sweet, hurtin' sound that so many seek and so few find. Nice work as well on Bemsha Swing. The most notable "stan- dard" is Stardust. While feeling that the late Hoagland C. might not under the direction of Esther Ghan Firestone, and popular quartet, the Four M.C.'s, perform in the auditorium on Mon. Aug. 17. Also representing the area are the North York Cabaret Dancers entertain- ing in the lobby on Tues. Aug. 18. Once again, the Hon. Pauline McGibbon, former Ontario lieutenant - governor and enthusiastic arts advocate, returns to the "Jubilee" concerts as official representative and honourary patron. Mrs. McGibbon will present the second annual Pauline McGibbon Life Achieve- ment in the Arts Award to Bruce Curry of the Windsor Seniors' Concert Band. This award is presented to a senior performer ( or group of performers) who has made a significant con- tribution to the arts over their lifetime. The 1992 concerts. the culmination of a full year's work for prodrucers Glenda Richards and Wayne Burnett of Richburn Associates, showcase per- formers selected through a province -wide audition pro- cess that starts almost as soon as the final curtain comes down each August. "Even after four years, we've only scratched the surface of a vast pool of talent," says Burnett. Richards adds, "These concerts are great fun for all concerned. You can see the pleasure in the faces of the performers mirrored in those of the audience.

The Ytdeo Board Game, was design- ed, written and directed over a period of three years by Brett Cerrhnits and pro- duced by Phillip Tanner• partners in the film produc- tion company, A Couple 'A Cowboys Pty. Ltd.. located in Sydney, Australia. Brett is a graphic artist with a background in jour- nalism and Phillip worked as a freelance actor and writer. Both met as reporters on Australia's highly successful children's TV program Wonder World, which won five Logie Awards during its eight-year national rue. After Wonder World, the two combined under the company name of A Couple A Cowboys, and created the Just for the Record in some 49 countries. Brett and Phillip also are the developers of three best- selling board gashes: Ot Quiz_ Brit Quiz and Dare. The Cowboys were inter- nationally honoured for their film work for the Australian Tourist Com- mission and the Tourism Authority of Thailand. ................................... have approved, its an im- aginative reworking that succeeds. Big Sugar is an auspicious debut album and one anticipates future releases with pleasure. Just keep it souding sim- ple, men. About the only thing that Toronto's current crop of ineptitudes on council have accomplished is the inn - creasing popularity of the local gra Bare Naked Ladies by banning them from Nathan Phillips Square. The group's latest album Gordon ( Reprise Sire) will likely go platinum by the time you read this. The HMV flagship store on Yonge Street can barely keep up with the demand for it. We have our review copy and while not overwhelmed by it, must say that it's good, very good. Trouble is, Barenaked Ladies are probably no bet- ter than scores of other such ensembles but thanks to Mrs. R. and her cohorts, they are achieving deserv- ed recognition. Thank you Junie. And, not incidentally, thank you Barenaked Ladies for pro- viding us with happy music we might not otherwise have encountered. ON YOUR TOES Congratulations to James Kudelka who has just been announced as Ar- tist in Residence for the National Ballet. Best wishes as well to Pierre Quinn who has been pro- moted to Principal Dancer. We'd be less than honourable however, if we did not question the passing over of Peter Ottmann once again. One wonders what this talented young man must do to achieve Prin- cipal ranking. One con- cedes that there might be valid reasons but they are not apparent to these orbs. OBSERVATION: One wonders if rap danc- ing would be as popular if the dancers realized how much their gyrations look like those imposed upon native workers at the dia- mond mines of South Africa some years ago. They were danced naked to ensure security guards that no diamonds had been secreted in the most in- timate body crevices. FAST EXIT: Don't part with your illu- sions. When they are gone, you may still exist but you have ceased to live. Mark 'twain.

Since the end of World War II, close to 5.5 million people have immigrated to Canada. Many of them had already contributed to social security programs in their country of origin by the time they moved to Canada. It stands to reason then, that when they take residence in Canada there must be provisions made to ensure that they are entitled to their fair amount of retirement income. That is why Canada has a reciprocal social security agreement with most nations. These agreements coordinate the operation of Canada's Old Age Security program and the Canada Pension Plan with the comparable programs of another country in order to: remove restictions that may otherwise prevent Cana- dians from receiving benefits under the legislation of the other country; ease or eliminate restrictions on the pay- ment of social security benefits abroad; eliminate situa- tions where a worker may have to contribute to the social sectinty programs of both countries for the same work: and assist migrants in qualifying for benefits based on the periods they have lived or worked in each country. For Canadian senior citizens who receive pension from Great Britain however, there is a large stumbling block - Canada has no such agreement with Britain. This means that their pensions are not indexed. Over time, inflation seriously erodes the value for Canadian pensioners who have paid into the British system. Contrarily, those pen- sioners who still reside in Great Britain have their pensiorss indexed, and are better able to keep pace with the cosi of living. I have heard from concerned constituents who are affected by this unfortunate situation. I. along with the Government of Canada, share the concern over this prediamlent. Recently. I contacted the Honourable Barbara McDougall. Secretary of State for External Affairs, and the Honourable Benoit Bouchard. Minister of Health and R e fare. in order to urge them to vigorously pursue such an agreernerrt with Britain. Over the years. Canada has repeatedly tried to negotiate an agreement with Britain to allow for indexation of pensions. But as yet there have been no results - the British Govern meat has declined to under- take negotiations toward a social security agreement, citing cast as the major barrier. But with the recent British election and new ministers established in their portfolios. i feel that this is a good time to renew the effort. With the number of V4*e who migrate to Canada from Britain, such a social security agreement is critical. As long as it does not exist. Canadian pensioners who paid into the British system are going to receive unfair perston payments. The government must work to ensure that this does not continue. continue studies with Randi Hemmers, Toronto: Herbert Stessin at the ( Actor ► For ire ve study Juitliard School of Music in in text, movement and New York. dance with :Nick Hutchm- Eve Egoyan.

M i M Experts Predict Problems With Drug Testing Experts at the Addiction Research Foundation predict drug testing in the workplace will be one of the most con- t"wermal is tx to tabour relatwris in the nineties. Bruce Onirtingham, senior program consultant for Workforce Health Programs across Ontario. and Startin Shain. head of the Foundation's Workplace Program, are two of the authors of the ARF's new updated gwdelinec. "Best Advice on Drug Testing in the Workplace: RTter'e to Draw the Une "Drug testing was controversial when we developed our first set of guidelines four years ago," says Cunningham, "and the issue certainly isn't going away. In fact, both employers and workers are giving more attention to the im- pact of drug abuse on job safety and performance... According to Foundation statistics, about 10 percent of (kltarlo adults have a drinking problem. "There's no doubt that the costs of excessive drinking aur high." says Cunningham. "Heavy consumers of alcohol and Other drugs are km,^ -n to have between two and three times the rate of absenteeism and accidents experienced by 'average' employees. Other costs are harder to measure-- like lost productivity. poor morale and discipline." Dick Barr. vice-president of ARF administration, says those figures have contributed to the growing practice of drug testing by- employers. 'One of the highest -profile examples, of course, is Transport Canada, which announced a drug testing policy last year that would apply to about 25o.ono workers. And a recent ARF survey found that twenty percent of Canadian transportation firms with more than 100 exmpioyees had some form of drug testing. While another 20 percent were planning such programs." says Barr. "That's a significant number for what is essentialh• a highly invasive activity." The Foundation recommends against mass or random alcohol and drug screening for all employees or job ap- plicants, and says scientific evidence of a link between drug use and workplace accidents is inconclusive. Alcohol and drug testing should be considered only when an employee's on-the-job behaviour provides reasonable grounds to believe he is impaired by drugs or alcohol. Random tests for alcohol only may be justified for safety - sensitive positions in which workers are unsupervised. 4n alcohol breathalyzer or blood test can indicate impairment while a drug test cannot tell whether the individual is "fit" for work, only that he or she has used the drug recently.) An employee with a confirmed positive test should be referred to an Employee Assistance Program for assess- ment and, if requited, treatment. The current legal climate appears to permit few in- stances in which drug tests are likely to be considered lawful, or in which medical exams as part of the initial job application process would not appear to contravene the pro- vince's Human Rights legislation. Barr says the ARF's Hest Advice on Drug Testing in the Workplace is likely to become a key resource for lawyers, union representatives. Employee Assistance Program con- sultants and other people involved in workplace policy. "We field a lot of calls at the Foundation about drug testing." he says. "People want to know whether these tests are legitimate." The Addiction Research Foundation is an agency of the Province of Ontario.

At the same time, however, scientists are working to develop alternatives to the large, noisy. fume -spewing diesels that have become the staple of most transit systems today. Mississauga -based Ontario Bus Industries l OBI t is a recognized world leader in the development of innovative energy technology. The company recently received 3159.0o0 in assistance from the Ministry of Energy's EnerSearch program and additional support from the Ontario Ministry of Transportation and the State of New Fork for work that could lead to the development of North America's first "hybrid" electric, natural gas bus. The EnerSearch program promotes increased com- petitiveness in Ontario industries through energy efficien- cy. It provides up to $500,000 per project in support of research, development, testing and technical demonstra- tion of new energy technologies that have significant poten- tial - both in Ontario and elsewhere. The OBI hybrid bus project is an excellent example. The company's hybrid bus is designed to operate on elec- tricity provided by a small natural gas engine generator set. Large storage batteries supplement the small engine during acceleration and are charged up when the bus is stopped. The prototype vehicle now being tested is expected to con- sume about 10 percent less fuel than conventional diesels, and to reduce pollutants by as much as 50 percent. That could make a big environmental difference, particularly in major urban centres where hundreds of buses are in daily operation, and where public transit is expected to become even more important in the future.

Walter Heeney, Ex- ecutive Director of the Master Bowlers' Associa- tion and a camp organizer. says, "Bowling Camp will highlight the unique pleasures of five pin bowl- ing and encourage young people's increased exper- tise. We were inspired to in- itiate this venture by similar schools in Western Canada, where there's a strong interest in the game. Special features of the camp, such as a twenty - minute video tape, recor- ding each bowler's pro- gress, will help to improve the level of individual per- formance and nthusiasm."

Even earlier, caveman are believed to have entertained themselves by rolling rocks to knock down primitive pans - But the beginning of five pin bowling - a sport Cam- dians can truly can their own - is easier to pin -point. In 1909, Toronto's Tommy Ryan. owner of Ryan's Temperance Street bowl- ing centre. realized his customers were�g- ed when they couldn't pkte a tenpin game at hm.- chtime. So he removed half the pins and designed a smaller ball to lighten the load an the lanes. The sport grew in popularity as five pin cen- tres popped up across the country.

Marie's economy - and these two seeming- ly strange bedfellows are now closer than ever. The Soo's municipal fish hatchery uses a lot of heated water in the process of raising young fish. The fish are stocked in nearby lakes and rivers to help ensure that good i. ping continues to support the area's tourist -related economy. Located close to the hatchery are large settling basins, containing leftover hot water that's been used by Algoma Steel. Instead of continuing to let the company's surplus hot water go to waste, the City of Sault Ste. Marie is now saving more than $44,000 a year in energy costs by pumping the water in the settling basins through a heat exchanger, and using the reclaimed heat to warm the water at the fish hat- chery. The energy-efficient project cost $100,000 with $0,000 in assistance from the Ministry of Energy. As part of its ef- forts to make Ontario more energy-efficient, the ministry assists demonstrations of new energy-efficient technologies, designs and practices that could be adopted widely throughout the province. At the Soo's fish hatchery, the heat exchange system is going swimmingly. The project is helping to reduce both the amount of heat released into the local environment and the provincial demand for new energy supplies. And the city's success is typical of what towns and cities all across On- tano can accomplish. The Ministry of Energy. together with partners such as Ontario Hydro, local gas and elec- tricity utilities, oil suppliers and energy service companies, is determined to help promote more of these kinds of energy savings in towns, cities, businesses and homes all across the province.

Roam the beaches of the British Virgin Islands and you'll find at least one that will keep calling you back. TORTOLA Smugglers Cove - Lies at the westernmost end of Tortola. It is secluded, sheltered, serene and hard to reach. The road is un- paved. but passable. The water is so warm and clear you'll feel, when floating in it, like you've returned to the womb, a world away from the crashing surf of Apple Bay. Snorkeling off both points is good, and sometimes you can spot sea turtles swimming along close by. I,eng Bao is a mile long stretch of white sand beach, perfect for a tran- quil sunset walk. Long Bay. Beach Resort and several guest houses line the eastern portion of the beach. The western end. fr- inged with a palm grove and seagrapes, offers greater solitude and ex- cellent swimming. Apple Bay is just over the hill from Long Say. Her on any day in season you can see at least a dozen surfers searching for that perfect wave. But it's not just the reliability and sine of the waves that draws surfers from all over the world While in Apple Bay. you'll probably meet Bom- bes. the proprietor of Bom- ha's Surfside Shack, who makes a wicked ruin punch and throws full noon par- ties in his artfully decorated. ramshackle hit on the beck. Just a few steps away, in front of Sebastian's Hotel, the waves are somewhat calmer and excellent for body surfing. If you stay on until evening, there often are fish fries around the corner at Romeo's or under the banyan trees accom- panied by live local music. Next door is the Apple, which is located in a colour- ful West Indian house and serves candlelit Caribbean - style meals. Cane Garden Bay, central- ly located on Tortola's north side, is a long, lovely, curved bay sheltered from heavy wind, making it a favoured anchorage for boaters. Attracting both tourists and residents, you can find every conceivable activity there: boating, windsurfing, water skiing and swimming; several locally -owned restaurants and bars; and island music at Quito's, De wedding, Paradise Club. Rhymer's and Stanley's several nights a week. Relax at one of these places and chat with beach aficionados. Brewers Bay. once the site of several sugar planta- tions and distilleries (hence its name) is just around the eastern point by boat or over a steep hill by car from Cane Garden. You can still see nuns on the beach and along the road going out of the bay to town. In winter, the cam- pground there is horse to an interesting group of travellers who return year after year. Even when the campground is full, you'll only find a few folks on the beach. In summer there is complete solitude. The water offers some of the best snorkelling on the island because of its many reefs: but it can change abruptly from glassy calm to churning waves, great for body surfing. Elizabeth Beach has only recently been made ac- cessible by car. On many days you will be the only one here. although this beach is fast becoming a favourite of residents because of its beauty and fine white powder sand. You must drive through private land to reach the water, but all B. V. I.'s beaches are public and open to everyone. Legg Bay.

In ander not to disturb nesting terns. it is best to go around the ineigtnbouaing salt pond - and not, (on days that it is dry) over it. VIRGIN GORDA The Baths, a ferry ride away from Tortola, is by far the most visited beach in the B. V. I. Giant bonders form a series of pools and grottoes which flood with sea water, creating a uni- que setting to swim and ex- plore. Snorkeling along the edges of the boulders reveals an area rich in col- ourful fish and coral. And although the Baths are popular even in the off- season, the sight is breathtaking; no one should miss it. Spring Bay. neighbouring the Baths, is also a special beach on which to swim or snorkel. Or lie upon one of the huge granite boulders that line the water's edge and soak up the sun while you gaze at the turquoise water and incomparable view. Trunk Bay is one of the series of spectacular white sand beaches that line Virgin Gorda's western shore.

August 12, 1992 Metro Council News from Ken Morrish Councillor Scarborough Highland Creek During my last term of office, one of my priorities was to increase the police presence in Scarborough Highland Creek. With the help of many residents and community associations. I was able to have 4040 Lawrence Ave. E. re- opened as a fully manned Police Sub -Station. Since the re- opening of this unit. there has been a noticeable drop in crime in our area. Scarborough Highland Creek is located within Metro Police Division No. 42 which covers an area of 127.2 square kilometres. Because this Division covers such a large area. i am continuing my efforts on your behalf to have a third Police station located in eastern Scarborough. I will keep you up to date on these discussions as they progress. Metro is presently exploring the possibility of introducing H.O.V. (High Occupancy Vehicle( lanes on some selected roadways in order to increase traffic flow. The idea behind this suggestion is to encourage car pooling between persons who work in the same area. i feel this action could cut down on the large number of single rider cars on the road at rush hour as well as pollution. driver frustration• the amount of time spent between home and the work place. This project is only part of Metros overall plats to help move people more quickly using all forms of transportation such as the T.T.C. Go trains. and the car. Metro is already using the H.O.V. system on several of its downtown roadways with very positive results. Staff from Metro's Planning Department. the Cities of Scarborough. Toronto and Etobicoke.

This ageless stopcon- cerns two average guns who leave the super -mega power Athens in search of a peaceful. more pastoral ex- istence. They stumble onto the land of the Birds, oc- cupied by the Iasi remain- ing wild birds on Earth and. inspired by its beautiful. untouched hum- ble life, they set out to create the new utopc state of Cuckooland. To do so. they employ the ver} same tools of impenalism that they left behind, and the birds must choose either to adapt or die. What follows is a com- plete transformation of a land rooted in National order to a nation of Law and Order.

When our kids, Kyle and Belinda. were small Get always seemed to be able to come up with an idea to keep there busy on a rainy day, and you haven't lived until you've come home from work to find your wife and kids pretending to be- raindrops. Anyway, visiting her cousin Hilton's new cottage when the wiring was being inspected by The lfydro gave Em the idea to put together a little talk for Ute kids about electrical safety. It wasn't hard to do, since she got -some information from The Hydro. The hydro was happy to oblige, and according to Ian, the kids just loved it. She said the Hydro rep covered three main areas of concern with kids and electricity. First, you have to remind youngsters old enough to read and 41x: out on their own 10 slay away from areas marked "Keep Out', or "Danger", alid to never poke or push things into electri- cal equipment or outlets. .Mother thing, she said, is to warn your kid, abxul Itte of touching ewer line,. II ku� or things like model airpl.1nes touch overhead lines, kids can he h:Klly injured by just touch- ing the strings or control wires. Also, kiols love to climb. Climbing hydro poles, towers, fences and surrounding electri- cal cyuipment or trees is really dangerous: kids can fall, or touch a wire and he injured or killed. If you have a pool, Em said there are some other hazards you and your kids should know about. For imtarice, if you use a long -handled pool skimmer, keep it clear of any overhead wire and move electric radios, TVs, clocks and other appli- ances well away from the water.
