August 19, 1992 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Congratulations To The Canadian Airlines Employees by Bob Watson Employees of Canadian Airlines (PWA Corp.) astounded the board of directors of the company when they announced last week that they would buy shares in the company with payroll deductions. This would raise $150 to $20o million. The PWA Corp has called off a proposed merger of their airlines with Air Canada as a result. We must congratulate these employees for their positive action in helping the company - which helps them too. A merger with Air Canada could have resulted in thousands of employees getting their notices of a layoff. So instead of moaning and demonstrating like most employee groups do, this very smart bunch of emplovees took the positive road to hang on to their jobs. In our opinion with employees owning shares in the cor- poration they will be able to make a positive contribution in the operation of Canadian :airlines. It is the right move in this terrible recessionary time. We wish that employees everywhere would jump on the bandwagon of joining in their corporations financing so that survival of their company - and their jobs - will be assured. Employee unions over the years have developed an anti - corporation view which doesn't help thein or the corpora- tion. Employee associations investing in the corporation is the right way to go and we congratulate these airlines employees for taking a positi%r attitude to survival! Attention School Trustees in- Bob Watsm Our visit to Indianapol>_-. Indiana recently restated in more than the fantastic Peace Games. Each year we get to communicate with people in that city- about various mat- ters. This time we engaged in a conversation with an In- dianapolis school trustee. She told us her board meets 11 or 12 times a month and their annual pay is S20M,. Perhaps this will have some bearing on the recent Scar- borough and East York school boards wh wh decided -in a great recession -to raise their salaries by large amounts. When we were on a school board in L%2-4 meetings were iust once a month but the annual salary A -as just $60' We hope our local school trustees will reverse their recent in- creases in pray. This is definitely not the right time for a raise to pay. On Bicycle Helmets Dear Letters -to -the -Editor - The new law on mandatory bicycle helmets is ill- con<-eived. Rather than trying to snake bike nders safer when they are hit by cars. the province should be assuring that bake riders are not hit by cars. The province would do better to educate drivers about bicycles as vehicles. to have annual safety inspections of cars. and to begin to create ur- ban bike routes as they have in Europe Liberal social - welfare societies like Sweden and Holland where biking is common do not have mandator helmet laws for good reasons 1 o Bicycles can be inexpensive. We have 7 bicycles in our household each purchased for less than 135. Helmets can cost that much, and they will always be misplaced, lost, and stolen. This mandatory helmet law is often compared to the mandator seatbelt law. But imagine how it would be if your seatbelt cost as much as your car and you had to carry Your seatbelt around in your pocket. Mandatory helmets will put biking out of budget for many people. This law will be most difficult for those with low income. 2, The new law will try to change people's habits by criminalizing them. Respect for law and police will take another hit. It will be younger and poorer cyclists who will be most guilty. 3) when law enforcement is already stretched to the limit, over-worked and under -funded, the new law will require that the police divert attention from real criminals to peo- ple biking without helmets. 4►There will be a rnyTiad of reasonable excuses and ex- tenuating circumstances: news Ro s-41 Published every WeCnesday by Watson Publishing Company Limited, Est. 1950 Office b Address: 150 Milner Ave. Unit 35.

"I am not on a public highway." 51 Because of 3 and 4. police enforcement of the helmet law will be discretionary and selective, with all of the injustice that entails. You can be sure that black youths will receive proportionately more fines than any other group. It is true that helmets protect cyclists when they have ac- cidents. But helmets would also protect drivers and Passengers in cars when they have accidents. Helmets are most important for those who ride high-speed bikes, for long distances, in heavy traffic or over rough terrain. They Should have helmets and maybe the province should sub- sidize helmets for those who -want them. But many of us ride push -peddle bikes on residential streets. Many bike riders are children who bop on and off bikes without forethought or preparation. Part of the pleasure and appeal of biking is the ease and spontaneity and convenience of it. Please contact Bob Rae and your MPP and ask for bike helmet subsidies• bike paths. driver education, vehicle safety inspections. but not mandatory bike helmets. We should not abuse the law by making abusive laws.

August 19, 1992 ME. NEWS POST Page 3 1 t � t1 t 1 • CHANGES TO THE ONTARIO DRUG BENEFIT PROGRAM The Ministry of Health is changing the Ontario Drug Benefit program, effective August 25. The ministry asked an independent group of health experts to recommend changes to the program. As a result, some new drugs are being added, and others are being taken off. Prescription drugs necessary for serious health conditions will continue to be available, at no direct cost, to those on the program. As well, over-the-counter, products such as insulin for diabetes are still covered. Among the products being added to the program are a new slow release drug to treat Parkinson's disease, and a drug for the treatment of shingles. Products like sunscreens, multiple vitamins and antihis- tamines are among those being removed. In total, the changes affect a small per- centage of drugs covered by the program. WHY MAKE THE CNA\GES? The government is working to better manage health care spending. It now spends over $ 1 billion a year on the Ontario Drug Benefit program alone. Costs have risen 18 per cent annually - during the past 10 years. With these changes we hope to keep the increase to 14 per cent. MORE INFORMATIO*%? The Ontario Drug Benefit program pro- vides benefits to people 65 and over, and people receiving social assistance.

Canadianism Is First Multiculturalism is Second Aid Scouts In Estonia In the true spirit of world brotherhood, Scouting groups throughout Metropolitan Toronto have been busy, packing uniforms for shipment to Estonia. Egbert Runge, Chief Scout of the Estonian Scout Federation expressed con- cern to Toronto Scouting's Executive Director, Brent King about the fact that the Estonian Scouting Organization forced underground in the early 1940'a with the annexation of Estonia by Soviet troops recently sprung back to life with a record registration of over 1,000 youth but with no uniform supplies. Because the Scouts in Canada. just over a year ago. began the transition of going from grey, green and beige to a new tan coloured teniform, the word was sent oat and there was an im- mediate response. An in- itial shipment of 7 large packing cases have been shipped to Estonia where they are helping to get the Scout Movement going again. This is just one ex- ample of the world brotherhood to Scouting in action. In this same spirit of friendship and world brotherhood exchange visits involving local Scouts are taking place all summer. A large con- tingent of Toronto Scouts left Toronto on Julv 13th and they will tour Greece and Cyprus for the sum- mer. Other Toronto Scout groups are travelling to visit Hong Kong and Great Britain while Metro Scouts will be hosting groups from Italy. Australia, Germany, Japan and Denmark.

Cycle For Kids To Help Children On Sun. Aug. 30, about 1,000 cycling enthusiasts will set out on a 34 -kilometre ride from Scarborough Civic Centre through Me Cowan, Lawrence, Guildwood, Morningside, Meadowvale, Sheppard and back to the civic centre for a one -day "Cycle for Kids". The bikathon is an an- nual event organized by the Chinese Chapter of Chris- tian Children's Fund of Canada (CCFC) to raise funds for needy children in developing countries. It is expected to raise about $50,000 for children welfare. "Every day, about 40,000 children in these countries the of starvation. war and disease." said Norman Ho, chairman of CCFC's Chinese chapter. "Most of them would live if they could receive a dollar's worth of medical care, Some clean drinking water and a regular supply of nutritious food." According to latest statistics, there are another 80 million homeless children wander- ing the streets of the world's slums. "They should have a future, and they should have enjoyed the same childhood as our children," Ho said. He said in view of the fact that this was a matter of survival for so many little lives, the Chinese Chapter of CCFC had decided to organize "Cycle For Kids '92" ( One -day Cycling Event) to help to change the life of these desperate children. The bikathon will start at 1:30 p.m. on Aug. 30. "The course is for young and old," said Yolanda Chan, Event Chairman of the bikathon. "It is not a race. The route is meant to be taken at your own pace, and you should be able to finish it within two hours." Chan said it was ex- pected that about 1,000 riders would be taking part. "I hope people will take it as a family outing, and at the same time try to get as many sponsors as possible for their charity ride," she said. As an incentive for riders to collect more pledges to help the needy children, the organizers will offer an air - ticket to Hawaii or Florida for the rider who raised most money. Special prizes will also go to the team which has most members or raised most money. The cyclists will be led by both Ho and Chan, and other members of the board of the Chinese chapter, including Rosa Chan, Dolores Chan, Richard lam. Sammy Lee. Spadina Is More Than Landscape by Wendy Woodworth The elaborate gardens surrounding Spadina, the historic house museum that sits on the rise of land overlooking Davenport Road, provide more than a beautiful landscape for a stately home. They are a reflection of history in which we can discover everything from household economy to middle class social values and aesthetic preferences. Spadini was home to four generatwm of one of Toronto's leading fanWies, having been purchased in 1966 by businessman and financier James Austin. The property was or Anal- ly Soo acres designated as FarmLot 24, Second Con- . . oo-i, granted to William Willcocks in 1793. It was in- herited by the Baldwin family and was used as a country home with the fields vented out. The Austin faamily used tbnr So acres for farming also. until James and later his son Albert subdivided and sold most of the land. The remaining 5.7 acres in- cluded an orchard, a grape arbour and the kitchen garden along with more formal areas of lawn and display beds. Spadina today features more than 300 varieties of plants in an historic setting that is the result of ar- chaeological studies on the grounds and painstaking research through family diaries, old drawings and photographs, journals, let- ter and stories told by members of the Austin family. Much original plant material can still be seen on the grounds; the magnificent white oaks for instance predate the house. There are other mature or- namental trees planted by the Austin family which preserve the intent of William Warren Baldwin when he initially cleared the site "in an avenue all the way" to provide a view of Lake Ontario. Other plants still growing included lilacs, peonies, daylilies and irises as well as a rose identified as Dorothy Perkins "one of the best old ramblers" ac- cording to a garden writer of the Edwardian period. The orchard includes varieties of apples not com- monly available today. The Red Astrachan is a soft dessert apple and does not keep long or ship well so it has been dropped from nursery catalogues. At the turn of the century a nursery might list over a hundred varieties. today thirty is more likely. The archaeological ex- cavations at Spadina revealed a system of brick - lined cinder paths and a pare-terre garden which have been restored. This pzrre-tore is a kitchen garden surrounded by a border of perennials and although the area was pro- bably a vegetable garden as far back as the Baldwin time it is not known when it was divided into the pre- sent shape and outlined with bricks. The intent of the planting style was to disguise the utilitarian nature of the garden when it was viewed by family guests from the formal south lawn. The graceful front en- trance -trance with its porte- eachere and formal flower beds has been reproduced using old photographs . that it looks almost as it would have in 1905 when it was first landscaped. The annuals planted today are more common cultivars of the ones used then. Hybridization has produc- ed petunias. for irrsiance, in a range of colours and sizes far removed from the original small blue or white flowers. Not as intensely hybridized as annuals. perennials planted in other areas of the grounds pro- bably differ little from those that might have been grown at Spadma 90 years ago. The Garden Club of Toronto collaborated with the Toronto Historical Board on the project and raised funds for the rehabilitation of the Spadina grounds. The gardens are open to the public as part of the regular admission to Spadina- Centennial College Names New President Scarborough's Centen- nial College has chosen Dr. Catherine Henderson as its new president, effective October 1992 She is the col- lege's fourth president since Centennial was established in 1966, suc- ceeding I. Bev McCauley who has served since 1978. Henderon comes to Centennial from Sheridan College in Oakville, where as vice-president, academic, she was accoun- table for the planning, organization, standards, content and delivery of all full-time programs. Prior to that, she had been a faculty member in child studies, a professional development coordinator for in-service training, dean of the School of Fashion and Merchandis- ing, and director of student services, all at Sheridan. Centennial's new presi- dent is a community col- lege graduate herself, hav- ing earned a diploma in Early Childhood Educa- tion, and later acquiring a doctorate in adult educa- tion from the University of Toronto. An active supporter of Ontario's college system, Henderson contributed as a member of the College Standards and Accredita- tion Establishment Board. She also led the first Pro- vincial Curriculum In- stitute and served on the College Committee on Academic Affairs. -Never before have our colleges faced such com- plex issues and such high expectations," says Henderson "The Centen- nial community has the talent and energy to become a model of creativity, equity, innova- tion and responsiveness. Our goal is to be a college of uncompromising quality which is student -centred and community-based." -Centennial opened its doors to the first communi- ty college students in On- tario in October, 1966. Since that time, the college has made a significant con- tribution to the educational development and personal growth to thousands of adult learners," says Tom Carter. chairman of the college's Board of Gover- nors.

The event's kick-off ceremony, to be held at Scarborough Civic Centre, will feature an hour-long entertainment program. Mary Lynne Conzelman. Director of Development of CCFC, said that the money raised through the one -day event would be used to serve the needs of those desperate children in places like Romania. Russia, the Philippines, Vietnam. Haiti, Ethiopia and the Sudan. Peter Harris, Executive Director of CCFC, stressed that the international child- care organization's man- date "is to provide long- term assistance to children, families, and communities of all faiths to help them become self- sufficient." The organization was first formed in China in 1938 as China Children's Fund. It helped thousands of Chinese children who had become orphaned dur- ing the Sino-Japanese war.

August 19, 1192 Bill Watt's Worlds FROM STRATFORD: Measure for Measure: Is morality an absolute or a comparative? Is it beyond question or subject to historical and or philosophical perspective' The only thing to be stated with authority is that the question is decidely not a new one. In proof, one need look no further than Shakespeare's Measure for Measure, a production of which has just opened at Stratford. Written and set in a time of great licence, it never the less espouses, or seems to, the greatest of the Judao-Christian virtues. The Duke of Vienna is thought to have been modelled after King James I who commissioned the translation into English of the Protestant bible which bears his name. Very well. We have a saintly man attempting to restore morality while 'round him ring the purple phrases of Shakespeare. no mean man with sack or in the sack. Each viewer must make individual decision on the aim of Measure for Measure and whether or not that aim is true. Having said that, and hardly originally, allow us to com- mend to all. the excellence of this production. Brian Bedford portrays the Duke and does so in a manner mindful of John Barrymore. The latter alw•av approached Shakespeare as simply- simplv'- another playwright and never feared to treat his words as though written by a con- temporary. He didn't breeze through them but neither did he ring them Ott. So it ss with Mr. Bedford. He delivers his lines with seeming ease. fine clarity and notable insight. The on- ly flaw in his performance is not of his making. When be appears disguised as a friar. he has been made up to look rather like Fu Man- chu. It's more than a tad off putting Calm Feore is effective as Angelo. the deputy. He early and cleverly leaves one pondering if be is lack ing in oral turpitude or if he is truly besotted with Isabel. Elizabeth Marvel plays the role in a manner which one can only say truly reflects her surname. Matching her in effec- tiveness are Michelle Fisk as Mariana and Carolyn Hay as Juliet. Nice comedy from Brian Tree and Tom Wood as Elbow and Froth as well as from Kate Reid as Mistress Overdone. Oh, and an en- thusiastic nod to Bernard Hopkins as Pompey, her tapster. Leon Pownall portrays the pompous Escalus to virtual perfection while Lorne Kennedy does quiet- ly well as Provost. Quite the most winning performance, however, might well be that of Nicholas Pennell as Lucio. In modern parlance he'd probably be called a slime bag. Certainly he's oily while never seeming to be other than Machiavellian. One loves to hate him. Michael Langham makes a welcome return to the Festival as director. He keeps his performers in check and refreshingly. makes optimum use of the thrust stage and all -all ! of its potential. Over all, the only flaw in this production is the in- trusive score of Stanley Silverman. We remain ada- mant in our preference for plays performed without music but if it's felt necessary. then let more attention be paid to the score. It should supple- ment. not distract. Measure for Measure by any measure. however, delivers full measure of en- joyment . NIGHT LIFE: Many years ago when love was new. we lived in the Bloor-Sherbourne area.

Joan Massiah, who played Maxin in "Bordertown Cafe" at the Studio Theatre, and Astrid Van Wieren, recently in Equity Showcase's "life's A Dream". "The Auction" is a biting, black comedy, il- lustrating the lives of two women waiting for their home to be auctioned off, only to be left destitute and homeless. Their sudden in- troduction to life in the :street becomes an ex- perience none of us will forget, when they meet a street -person with an en- trepreneurial flair.

TRIVIA?: The Republican National Convention is in progress as you read this and we can't resist passing along a tidbit in connection with same. Early in his Presidency, George Bush endeared himself to many by pro- claiming that he doesn't like broccoli. In the Cole Porter musical Anything Goes, the hero Billy Crocker (sic) sings the praises of Reno Sweeney with the song You're The Top in which he says "You're Broccoli". Later• in the same song and while denigrating himself he sings "I'm a nominee of the G.O.P. or Gap". Interesting'. We think so; the lyrics were written in 1924. GO NOT GENTLI': It was 50 years ago today that 907 Canadian soldiers were slaughtered in a sacrifice to Mars on the beaches of Dieppe. Slaughtered in a foray that was an admitted foredoom- ed failure. Slaughtered to swell the ego of an in- competent commander. Slaughtered to save the rest of the Allied forces who would be needed later for the "real" invasion of Fortress Europe. Yes, Canada was taken advan tage of then and the "tradi- tion" continues. Got too many people for your land to support? Send them to Canada and let those good old Canadians welcome them with cor- diality and welfare. Can't handle your criminal element? Send them to Canada and let them Prey not only on their fellow immigrants but an those same good old Cana- dians who now fear to walk upon their own streets at night. Cheat them out of the Olympic Games. Then, rub salt in the wound by cheating their athletes at the games. Hell! Take Canada for all it's worth. Canadians won't complain. Oh'. Well, this unhyphenated Canadian is complaining. He's hopping angry. He's angry at the fact that Canada which has come to the aid of the nest of the world in wars in Africa, Europe and the Orient is now the laughing stock of that world with its ridiculous immigration policy, stupid wrangling over a perfectly good con- stitution and a reputation for never complaining to or in the world community. He's also furious with rage and grief over the 907 Canadian soldiers who gave their lives half a cen- tury ago on a foreign beach head in what they thought was a war to make the world, including Canada, a fine and better place. One of them was our step brother. 'f Here & There /n Pickering by Diane Matheson IDEA PLACE: WORKSHOPS "Design and Finish your Basement" is a workshop to be presented by MacLeod Renovations on Thurs.

Auxust 19, 19"2 THE NEWS/ POST Page 7 wrth Rene Soetens, M.P. More than 3.3 million Canadians with disbilities face obstacles in their daily lives. Simple tasks such as finding a job, travelling, communicating with others• and finding a place to live just cannot be taken for granted. We cannot afford to ignore the talents, energies and abilities of people with disabilities and the contribution that they make to Canada. And the federal government is corn- mitted to ensuring that all Canadians can participate fully in society. One of the measures that we have taken to achieve this goal is Bill C-78, an Act that amends certain legislation with respect to disabled persons. This bill. recently passed, is part of the National Strategy for the Integration of Persons with Disabilities, a five-year, $158 million initiative. Under this strategy, ten federal departments and agencies are doing their part to eliminate barriers that face people with disabilities. The bill changes six different laws to make them sen- sitive to the needs of Canadians with disabilities. Changes to the Elections Act make it easier for people with disabilities to vote. This means making polling stations ac- cessible and using mobile polling statics for people in in- stitutions. Better information will be provided to make sure that voting rights are exercised. The bill will ease the finan- cial burden of ru mnng for public office. Disability -related expenses will not be considered an election expense. The CitizeYslup Act will be changed so people with disabilities have equal access to Canadian citizenship. The National Transportation Act %ill also be altered. Travel by planes. trains and buses will be more accessible and hassle - free. Amendments to the Access to Information Act and the Privacy Act will ensure government records andpersonal information are acessible to people with sensory disabilities. The Cri urinal Code will be modified so somneone with a disability van gave evidence in a sexual assault case from behind a screen or outside the courtroom if seeing the accused would prevent free testimony. In addition to this bill. policy and regulatory changes are being mode. For example. we will ask the CRTC. under the Broadcasting Act. to make stronger rules on captioning and employment equity to help disabled people. We %ill also be review g proposals by the disabled community to ensure fair access to ttw justice a oem Queen's Park Report by Gerry Phillips M-P.P. Scarborough Agincourt The NDP government is refusing to listen to —.z, percent of those concerned about changes to Ontario's labour law by denying them an opportunity to make a presentation io the legislative committee examining the changes. Liberal Labour Critic Steven Offer said recently. "These hearings are revealing some very legitimate and unanticipated concerns over this proposed law." said Mr. Offer, M.P.P. for Mississauga North. "7hnat leads me to believe that there are many serious side effects of this legislation that will simply be overlooked and ignored unless we hear from more people." Since hearings began nearly two weeks ago on proposed changes to the Ontario Labour Relations .Act. Mr. Offer has repeatedly suggested that public hearings be extended as only 250 of 1,100 groins who have applied, will have the op- portunity to make a presentation to the legislative commit- tee. The NDP members of the committee have voted this suggestion down. "Changing labour legislation is a serious matter." said Mr. Offer. "It's irresponsible to leave any stones unturned and legitimate concerns unheard The NDP is attempting to persuade the public that op- position to the amendments is anti -union, but presentations made to the committee this week reveal another story. In their presentations• the following groups have express- ed legitimate concerns about their ability to deliver critical services during a strike or lockout situation. 'Most of the concerns emerge from Bill 40's vague exemptions surroun- ding the ban on the use of replacement workers: Children's Aid Societies fear that during a strike or lockout children in crisis may not be protected: the Municipal Electric Association is concerned that its utilities will not be able to respond during an emergency situation, eg. repairing stop lights or downed wires duringa' storm: the Ontario Public School Boards Association is con- cerned that the education of children could be jeopardized if for example, school bus drivers were on strike and could not provide necessary service: and community grocers are concerned that in small communities with only one grocery store• people would not be able to buy food. "In light of the presentations this week, I know that there are many other concerns out there that won't be heard due to the tiDP refusal to listen." said Mr. Offer.

It Pays To Advertise EAMWedge Good nexus stores from tit[ .WimstrN of Energy Chrysler Audits Mini -Van Plant To Make Savings Fierce competition in the international auto industry_ is driving companies around the world to shave costs and im- prove their bottomline. Chrysler Canada's Windsor mini- van plant, which produces the highly successful Dodge Caravan and Plymouth Voyageur lines and is already an in- dustry leader in energy efficiency, recently used an eller&} audit to identifv even more cost savings. The energy audit. carried out free of charge by the Ministry of Energy's Industrial Energy Services Program identified no fewer than 30 different areas where the plant could further reduce its energy consumption. Chrysler Canada is currently considering several projects recom- mended by the audit, including an automatic energy management system to shut down power when people are not working and a method of bypassing the chillers on a paint cooling sytem. The bypass would reduce energy costs and could also help eliminate the use of CFCs, which have been linked to damage to the earth's protective ozone layer. These two improvements alone could increase the plant's profitability by $240.000 a year - energy savings that Gould lead to more competitive products, and more secure jobs. Over the past four years, the Industrial Energy Services Program has provided comprehensive energy audits at some 460 industrial plants across the province. The audits have helped the companies identify potential energy sav- ings totalling some 356.5 million a year - roughly to percent of the total yearly energy bills of the participating com- panies. The audits have also recommended that the com- panies implement more than 2,180 energy efficiency pro- jects that would represent an estimated capital investment of more than $100 million.

Because the Scouts in Canada, just over a year ago, began the transition of going from grey. green and beige to a new tan coloured ur $farm. the word was sent out and there was an im- rnediate response. An in- itial shipment of 7 large packing cases have been shipped to Egionia where they are helping to get the Scout Movement going again. This is just one ex- ample of the world brotherhood to Scouting in action. In this same sprit of friendship and world brotherhood exchange visits involving local Scouts are taking place all summer.
