We've Got The Best Country Page 2 THE NEWS POST Wed. September 2. 1992 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Surpassing the standards of mediocrity By Michael Wycks The Olympics represent a standard of sporting excel- lence rarely surpassed any- where. It's in Barcelona, after all, where the finest athletes on this planet are now com- peting head-to-head for the ultimate goal of being the 'wor Id's best." Canada Post held its own brand of Olympics recently when it measured its ability to deliver mail and packages on time. In this competition (pitting Canada Post solely against itself), 50,000 un- marked letters and packages were sent out into the mail by Ernst and Young, the group hired by Canada Post to measure its efficiency. The results gave Canada's postal monopoly the gold medal standing it was searching for 98 per cent of the mail for the sunt city was delivered with- in a Canada Post set standard of two business days, 99 per cent was delivered between cities in the same province within three busiisess days; and between cities in different provisoes, 99 per cent was de - within four busmess days. Thew impressive numbers belie the fact that Canada Post sets its own standards for rneasurerrhent. As Brien Gray. senior vice president, policy and research for the Canadian Federation of Independent Busmesspointsout,-if you set your standards low enough, anyone can be a gold medalist- -Why does it take four business days to get a letter from Winnipeg to Regina or from Montreal to Fredericton? Meanwhile, the U.S. Postal Service's delivery standards are such that it takes just two days to send a letter from New York City to Chicago. What's stopping our postal service from achieving that kind of efficiency? With their fairly lax standards, Canada Post seems to approach mail de- livery more like a leisurelyjog around the track than any quick sprint.- Gray said. One area Canada Post al- ways manages to lead the way in is postal increases. Neither rain, nor sleet, nor saw can stop the postal monopoly froth asking for apostage stamprate increase—this year is no exception. An application has been made to the federal government to bike domestic stamps to 43 cents (one cent increase), stamps to the United States by one cent (to 49 ants) and overseas stamps by two cents (to 86 cents). Including tax, Canadians would then have to fork over 46, 52, and 92 cents respectively. Canadians pay an extra- ordinary amount of money to support a national postal system. Less costly, consis- tent, efficient service would be a welcome change to the yearly price hikes, strikes and self-congratulatory initiatives we have seen lately from Canada Post. Perhaps it's time tougher standards were set for mail delivery—we'll we then wbetber Canada Post achieves the same medal count they have with their own standards. CF19 Feacerr Service Here and There First Time Home Buyers Respond To New Government Incentives First-time buyers purchased homes at a record pace in Canada during the first six months of 1992, according to the Royal LePage Survey of Real Estate Consumers. survey The of 32.utlU consumers in I1 cities showed first- time purchasers made up 37% of all home buyers in the first six months of 199'2. compared with 35% in the same period in 1991.

Thousands Want End To Young Offenders Act b% Br)h %%at%on A meeting in West Hill last weed by Citizens Coalition Favouring 'More Effective Criminal Sentences emphasized the criticism of the Young Offenders Act. Gordon Domm. Spokesman Coordinator from Guelph. told the audience how the Young Offenders Act reduces maximurn sentences and makes silly cnrainal court games for children who aren't c hikiren anymore played to the legislated double standard of adult rights minas adult penalties. He feels that this act has caused the steadily us- ing violent crime rates among all age groups. The Young Offenders AM completely axes mandatory parental restitution in cases of proven parental contribu- tion to the delinquency of the offending juvenile and Mr. Domm feels that this is a sellout of society. Totally exempting 7 to I1 year olds from juvenile justice. he feels is a further sellout of society as well as of that tender age group. and an obvious further incentive for more came. Little wonder violent teen crime is on the increase. Debra Scott of Barrie io;d the im"irig how her daughter was beaten, stabbed and ruthltw.sl, humiliated by a gang of young boys who could not be punished because of the Young Offenders Act. Scarborough representative of the coalition. Veria Crawford, had her child killed in a similar episode. The Coalition wants the Young Offenders Act replaced with the farmer Juvenile Delinquents Act or with a new act with the maximum age lowered from 17 years to 13 vears and a lowered minimum age of 7 years as in the former act. The coalition feels that with the previous act there was almost no horricide or violent crimes among teens as there is today. The new Bill C-12 is not considered very good at address- ing the faults of the Young Offenders Act either. The primary outrage over Bill C -t2 lies in the bill's legislated charges to our sentencing laws for convicted teen murderers. Convicted murderers should not be able to go on parole after only S years in prison. Build Teachers' Network For Educational Change The Ministry of Education will provide $1.3 million to assist the Ontario Teachers' Federation i OTF i in initiating a professional development project. Education Minister Tont/ SLhpo and OTF President Ron Poste have announced. The project will provide advice. information. and com- munications support to Ontario teachers as they work to br- ief{ about change in the province's schools. Letter To The Editor Requiem For A Country The sad part of Mordecai Richler's book is that it is true. Our federal leader attended a conference for leaders of French-speaking countries. Our number two leader From Quebec also attended the same conference for leaders of French-speaking countries. Our number three leader from New Brunswick also at- tended the same conference for leaders of FYencch-speaking countries. Finally, our N.A.F.T.A. commissioners have pathetically asked the U -S. A. and Mexico not to allow Quebec to join the N.A.F.T.A. should Quebec secede from Canada. (See Broadcast Dews Aug. 17 18.) So it seems our International Trade Minister has given up on Quebec. And the farce that calls itself the Unity Commission goes on. Canada is not a French-speaking country! Quebec is not a country, and never was. New Brunswick is not a country, and never was. These people have the audacity to talk about unity'.... Unity -is -One. One Country - One People - One Language. I am a Canadian! John McMillan 310-2 Treewood St. Scarborough The project has three major components: an electronic communications network that will allow teachers across the province to share ideas and information, a team of facilitators which will work with groups of teachers around topics and issues of the teachers' choice: and a communica- tions strategy involving television and newsletters which will help teachers and schools share experiences more ef- fectively. ..Ontario is working in partnership with its teachers to help them and other educators meet charging expectations for our schools,.. said Mr. Silipo. "By empowering teachers to work together and helping educators use up -cordate com- municatwis technology to share their experiences, we can create a powerful tool for effective change in education-" The main participants in the project will be teachers of Grades 7. 8 and 9, who are expected to begin introducing new programs for these grades in September 19913, with full implementation within three years. This initiative is part of the province's plan for education reform, which includes the developrnent of curriculum documents that identity core learning outcomes for students to the end of Grade 9, Provincial Benchmarks, and eliminating the separation of Grade 9 students into basic. general, and advanced classes. "Students in Ontario schools, regardless of age. need op- portuurities for education that are responsive to increasing diversity of backgrounds, learning styles, social issues, and economic condition," said OTF President Ron Poste. "This project, with its emphasis on communication and the electronic network, will provide increased opportunities for teachers to work collaboratively to improve the teaching learning process. It is our hope that the engage- ment of the commitment and involvement of teachers at the school and classroom levels will create a culture of change that will support contintring education reform." Mr. Silipo rated that this partnership with OTF com- plements the previously announced funding of $2.75 million made available to school boards to meet the professional development needs of teachers of Grades 7, 8 and 9.

September 2, IM Bill Watt's Worlds DINNER THEATRE: In the vernacular of the performing arts, a show with legs isn't necessarily one in which the nether ap- pendages are paramount. No, the term is in reference to one that can have a long run either in the original or subsequent engagements. Closer Than Ever is a show with legs. It. first appeared locally ,about a year or so ago at the Y. F. T. It was a good show then but it seemed to us that it could have been even better in more favourable surroundings. We were correct. Closer Than Ever is back, this time in the friendly and intimate sur- roundings of the limelight Dinner Theatre. and better even than before. with the same cast and production Learn. Having written that, our problem reprises in that it's not an easy show. for one with our meagre way Kith words, to describe. Certainly it can't be categorized though one re- mains in doubt over the ef- ficacy of categorization anyway. It's not a book show. neither is it a review. It's funny but it's not a comedy. There are no spoken words, yet it's not an opera though sane of the songs have an operatic quality about them. Those are the things that Closer Than Ever is not. Herr. as best we can. are the things and - n r n nit- tant delight that it is. Conceived by Steven Scott Smith, it is a mdange of songs written by David Shire and lyricist Richard Maltby, Jr. The songs. though, aren't just of the moon, June. honeymoon varlet.. Neither are they presented simply concert fashion. The songs are highly literate mW reflect the difficulties and pleasures of modern Nath American life. They are presented in a fluid manner wherein each flows naturally into the other and without seeming effort. They are sung by a mix- ed quartet of performers in solo and in mixed combina- tion while accompanied on stage by piano and string rhythm. The young ladies who sing are Barbara Barsky and Susan Henley: the gentlemen of song are Marek Norman and Jonathan Whittaker. David Warrack doubles as Musical Director at the onstage piano and Bob Hewes gives excellent back up on bass. All are excellent singers, all have and exhibit fine comedic values. Watch Barbara Barsky and Jonathan Whittaker in the comic You Want To Be My Friend'. Watch Miss Bar- sky in solo as Miss Byrd. Mr. Marek touches as One Of The Good Guys and :Hiss Henley also is mining in Life Story. Probably the most touching song is Father of Fathers in which the two gentlemen are joined vocally by David Warrack in a paean of parentage. We felt the tears welling, our own tears that is to say. Laurence Follows has given tight direction and there is only one suggestion to be offered by way of un- proveme t. Since the musi- cians are on stage rather than in the pt, they are in full view at all tines. Why bold them to virtual stone face immobility'. They are both eharani:ng mem and a fern smiles wouldn't be amiss. Besides. now that Mr. Warrack's hair has silvered, be looks not unlike Nielson Eddy, par- ticularly when be is allow- ed to smile. You will most certainly side after seeing Closer Than Ever. It's a fee show and boy, does it have legs!

One seems to recall when the north side of Front St. between Yonge and Scott Sts. was the site of a rather gungy building with a fren- zied formica cafeteria in Very important pet 1 surw* sep�tternt�er 1.39 1992 at sunnybrook park ra&n or shine! sponsa"ed by "M torol'1to humane society ULnbk3AS wu-m els. � the basement of same. Came The O'Keefe and the building gave way. thankfully, to a parking lot. Came a few more years and the painting lot gave way. even more thankfully. to the A.E. LePage Building and a trio of fine restaurants across from the theatre. One of them is Shopsy's. We were there recently for an invitational buffet lundwon celebrat m'rrg the 70th birthday of Israel Shopsowitz. If Sylvia (Gleno Choo ( Train was there. we didn't see her and don't know how she rated or might have rated the party on her arbitrary scale of one to ten. It doesn't mat- ter. Let it suffice that it was The food? Standard Shopsy's Deli wfiich is to say, Lucullan. The schmoozing' Just first rate. From the time each guest was greeted per- somIly by the genial Izzy S., he or she was surround- ed by wall to wall celebs. One hasn't the space to name them all and we refuse to list them alphabetically or categorically even if it were possible. So, what follows is not in any order of importance but definite- ly subject to memory. Among the many guests were Ben and Sylvia Un - nick. Frank Shuster and his look -a -like Leo Orenstein, Al Dubin, Al and Sara Wax- man, Gary Dunford, Charles Cutts, Martin Onrot, Susan Minns, Walt Greahs, Stan Klees, Bill Ballard (gawd, can that man eat!), Derwyn Shea, Ken Morrish in from Scar- borough, Mike Filey, Louis Jannetta, Mr. and Mrs. Philip Givens, Dick Smyth, Allan Lamport, Reg Bovaird, Hans Gerhardt, Dave Garrick, Dusty Cohl, Gino Empry ... the list goes on. All of them are in- veterate schmoozers and at their best in the convivial atmosphere. En fin, it was a great bir- thday party. Encore please. We might even be talked into tap !an, -;,i,: next time. PARTY TIME: TWO It was Mexican night at Sutton Place or, at least. the elegant 23rd floor suite of Colleen Roberts. The lady is one of the brighter and better known lights in the recording industry. She says she's m her sixth decade but we can't believe it; not of someone so pret- ty. Anyway, she and John Murphy share the same birth date. two years apart. Ms. Roberts in a sprit of nobkss oblige et tourjours la politesse held a Mexican party to weicorne John's entry to and her entrench- ment in the seventh lustrum. (No. Mr. Porter isn't writing our material.) Regrettably, we had to depart on assignment before the party was over but, ch my, how good it was while we were there and bow good it was to become later. Guests were drawn most- ly from the recording in- dustry and the party was almost an RCA -1 ictor reu- nion. Among them was Ed Preston who represents Roger Whittaker. We'd never met but knew each other from years ago when we reviewed for RCA Bluebird. Nice meeting. Who knows, we might yet see the fulfill- ment of our dream to nar- rate Manhattan Tower for a video release. Others scheduled to ar- rive were Joyce Barslow, Joey Cee, Brett Halliday, the ubiquitous Gino Empry and Cher. You're reading that correctly; we said Cher ... from La Cage. The food was excellent. Good Tex-Mex, not too fiery but enough to let you know you'd been there. Ex- cellent sangris, arguably the best outside of Guadela- jara or El Parador in Mon- treal. Happy birthday Colleen and John. Now, about that English breakfast. PARTY TIME: MANQUE The Montreal World ;Film Festival is now under way. It's run the way our local Frsu�,i. i F .,-:vats should be run and far Rmore fun. Well washers are en- thusiastic about two entries from Toronto-based Hollywood Canada Produc- tions headed up by Mark Terry. They are the feature film Strange Horimos and the documentary Clive Barker: The Art of Horror. Mark appears in the farmer as does daughter Mary Anne Transylvania (no foolin') and wife Angela, fresh from her triumph as The Woman With No Face in an earlier film. Yes, Angela, we recognized you. Good luck to both presen- tations. Sorry we can't be there. ON RECORD: In Receipt: Summer In Paradise -The Beach Boys (A-& M.) One of the cuts is Hot Fun in the Summertime. We could certainly do with it. Stand On Your Own -ICU (A.& M.) ICU is a group that began in St. Mary's University in Halifax. And, you thought the Maritimes produced only Don Messer! One hopes not but it's possi- ble that ICU might break up some day. Will the suc- cessor band be called ICU -2? Down the line will there be ICU2B4U2? Comment: We continue to enjoy A. & M.'s new Childhood Favorites series mentioned here previously. It should be pointed out, however, that there is an error in the Bed Time cassette. The third track on Side Two is printed and announced as Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy. Music lovers will realize immediately that it's the Dance of the Pan Flutes. No real harm here except that it could be con- fusing to children. FAST EXIT: We wish we could claim credit for this item but, in fact, it's from Entertain- ment Weekly.

In fact, energy represents one of the largest business costs for Ontario greenhouse owners. But thank, to cogeneration - a process that products electric and thermal energy from the same solace - and some financial assistance from the Ontario Ministry of Energy, everything's coming up roses at Tage Hansen Ltd.'s Leamington -area nursery. In November 1989, the company installed a small cogeneration system at a cost of $330,000- with the help of $99.000 from the Ministry of Energy. The Tage Hansen's new system, a natural gas engine drives an electricity generator that produces most of the power needed to run the artificial lights and computerized temperature and humidity controls in the company's 23 greenhouses. The engine also produces steam Used to heat the greenhouses in %•inter. The energy savings from the new system are expected to pay for the cogeneration equipment in five to seven years. The savings will continue long after the system is paid for. helping to keep Tage Hansen competitive as a producer of roses. chrysanthemums and miniature carnations for Canadian and U.S. markets. In the end, of course• a rose may be only a rose, but energy savings by cogeneration - or any other name - would be just as sweet. .Bill Watt's World (Continued from Page 6) the mag declared it's a danke shame. Still. it offers a neat segue for the next item. At a recent opening of Michael Crawford at The O'Keefe, corporate spon- sors MCI hosted a private affair at intermission in the upstairs Dubonnet Lounge. Admission was. naturally enough. by invitation only. So far, so good. Regret- tably however, it meant that there was no public ac- cess to the upstairs, west side rest rooms. Now. theatre rest rooms, especially those for the ladies are always crowded and slow at intermission. but. hoo boy' nothing like what they were that night.

People passing through Exeter may marvel at the tranquility and beauty of its streets and century -old homes - never suspec- ting that modern, energy-efficent technology often plays an important role in helping to keep such mall communities on the map. Municipal casts have risen sharply since 1887, when Ex- eter built its first town hall at a total cost of $3.896. More recently, Exeter's town officials became concerned about the high energy bills at the South Huron Recreational Com- plex. and decided to look into ways of reducing them.

September 2, 1992 Community Sports Notes Toronto Driver Gears Up For France Toronto race car driver Ted Havaris, 27, will be up against some stiff competi- tion when he returns to the Elf Winfield racing school on the French Riviera this fall. The Pilote Elf Com- petition Course is con- sidered the toughest and most prestigious training ground in the world. And Ted wouldn't have it any other way. "There's no question• it's a tough course." Havaris says. "It's highly com- petitive, attracting the most talented young drivers from all over the world. I'm excited by the challenge. and I'm aiming to win the race in October.., If he wins the competition, he'll spend a year in France, racing with the very best - and driving toward his goal of becom- ing a Formula 1 champion. Ted has good reason to be optimistic. Unlike many hopeful racers who train at the Winfield school, he was formally invited to return to the course. His instruc- tors believed he was good enough to compete to qualify for the Mlote Elf Competition. "It's truly an horror to be asked back." Havans says. "A lot of people try their hand at racing, but if they don't have the talent or the commitment. thev don't last long." Not everyone can become a champion. But many of the biggest names in racing have trained at the Elf Winfield school.

Ontario's unemployment rate rose to 10.8 in the second quarter of 1982 from 9.6 percent in the same quarter last year. in contrast. Bob Rae's 1992 budget states. "Job gains are expected to resume in the spring of 1990 as economic growth takes place... "The new job loss figures indicate that the hoped-for results from the NDP's budget are not materializing," Mr. Phillips said. "This is added proof that Bob Rae's economic policies are a failure. " The Ministry of Labour report states that Ontario's economy lost 68.000 full-time jobs in the second quarter of 1992. including 5800 in the key manufacturing sector. This was offset with a modest increase of 6.000 part-time jobs. The report notes that the average duration of unemploy- ment has risen to 22.8 weeks in the second quarter from 18.1 weeks in the same period in 1991. "This worsening unemployment situation demands ac- tion by Premier Rae." Mr. Phillips said. "It is time to set aside the divisive Labour Relations Act amendments and get the workplace partners all pulling together to get On- tario out of this unemployment mess.'

Since this report came to the Community and Social Ser- vices Committee, staff took time to respond to the report, and take it into their domain to investigate some of its aspects. Staff will be reporting back at a later date. 'I did some research into this matter. I was rather shock- ed to hear some of the accusations put forward by the researchers. Based on the fact that the definition of assault by police officers could rat be described as the difference of a push or the striking of an individual by a baton, I have to seriously question the integrity of the reporting and phras- of the questionnaire. I have to ask, "What possible reason is there for a police officer to assault a homeless individual?" Often it is the police who take these homeless individuals to hospitals, and sometimes against their will. Does this Constitute as an assault? In one major centre, over 17% of the admissions came as a result of police referrals in 1990 and 1981. During the same period, 1991-92, one mental health facili- ty discharged 1956 patients. Three hundred and thirty-three were categorized as ending up in hostels. having no fixed address. unknown, or other categories. Many others ended up in private boarding and rooming houses. On page 31 of the report, it states that 24.4% of the study group had a history of mental illness. Almost half of this group had been diagnosed with either depression (33.6%). or a drug and alcohol dependency (14%). 13% diagnosed as schizophrenic is manic depressive. having panic disorder. or cognitive unpairment. On page 33, under the sub -section Substance Abuse, 68.5% admitted using drugs at some point, and 43.6% reported us- ing drugs in the month prior to completing the questiorn- aaire. Drugs were used several times a month by 30.7%. and 12.59 used drugs one to two times a month. One must ask, how it is that the provincial government decided to de -institutionalize its mental hospitals, and literally put hundreds of people into the street without guaranteeing that they would have sorneone to ensure that their medication was being provided, that care was being provided, and that they would not be risks to themselves, or to society in general' How can anyone be certain with the rather loose type of questionnaire used. that someone reporting an assault, did not suffer any type of mental illness' Why of those question- ed, did 43.69 have enough money to buy illicit drugs, but at the same time. not spend their meagre funds on sufficient food' Everyone knows that those suffering from substance abuse do not eat well. They also deteriorate physically, and exhibit irrational behaviour. This is corroborated by the fact that on page 32. it states that 22.8% of the group had been hospitalized for mental health problems at some time in their lives. As sorneorne who formerly was involved with the health care system. I am aware of the need to be careful in assessing the effectiveness of any medication, and the pros and cors of side effects that it can cause. This weakly structured report is a shot -gun statement that is unfortunately ineffective in producing informative and useful material that can be utilized by existing social agencies, medical facilities, and the police. It is foolhardy to expect that there will not be confronta- tions with people who will be irrational, due to drug addic- tion, alcoholism. and frustration when hundreds of people who need care and nnedication. get neither. Until the researchers of the Street Health Report can pr!" duce some information which relates more accurately in regard to their recoalunnendatios, then I feel that their report cannot be given much credibility.

Of Air Cadet Glider Flying Twenty-four young women and 50 young men from Ontario graduated on Aug. 14th with their air cadet glider pilot wings following six weeks of in- tensive and often ex- hilarating training at the air cadet's Central Region Glider School t CRGS I at Mountainview near Belleville. Ontario. Each and every one of these cadets worked hard to 'earn their wings'. All are between 16 and 18 and most have been in their local air cadet squadrons for about 3 to 4 years.

Conservation Moves Closer To Purchase Of Property With Metro Toronto Council's approval of their $4.5 million participation on Aug. 13th, The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority i MTRCAI is moving closer to comple- tion of the purchase of the 15 -hectare 138.7 acre) Canada Post Lakeshore Property located adjacent to Marie Curtis Park. "Completion of the pur- chase of this prize piece of property will represent the achiievement of one of the major recommendations of the Royal Commission on the Future of the Toronto Waterfront. headed by The Hon. David Crombie," says MTRCA's Chief Ad- ministrative Officer Bill McLean, who also mention- ed the acgtasition was the result of lengthy and in- volved negotiations which came to fruition only with the cooperation of Canada Post. The total projected cosi of the acquisition is $18 million. The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto and the Regional Municipality of Peel have each agreed to contribute 34.5 million, while the Pro- vince of Ontario in coopera- tion with the City of Mississauga are being ask- ed to contribute the re- maining $9 million. Two years ago Canada Post announced it wanted to sell the waterfront site at the foot of Dixie Road, where armaments were produced during the Se- cond World War. Metro Toronto and Mississauga draft waterfront plans recommend that the lard become a public park adja- cenR to Marie Curtis Park. which is already owned by Metro Region Conserva- tion.

Maybe it's you! Bake loafofbread or a pan of ckulamo n rolls and ether it in the baking contest at your local fair this year. Even if you don't enter a yeast baking contest, bak- ing y&,ast bread is a pleasur- able and rewarding activity for everyone. Thanks to Flcischmann's Quick -Rist Instant Yeast and modern baking techniques, fresh - from -the -oven breads are quicker and easier to bake than ever before. Here's some helpful tips from the baking experts at Ficischmann's to assure bread baking sua.ess at this year's local fair. ❑ Use just enough flour to achieve a dough that is no longer sticky. Don't worry if you use a bit more or less flour than specified in the recipe. Measure flour by spooning it into dry meas- ures and leveling off with a straight -edge utensil. ❑ For speedy results, use Fleischmann's Quick -Rise Instant Yeastwhich stream- lines the rising time of homemade breads by up to 50 percent Quick -rinse in- stant yeast works best when added directly to the dry ingredients and requires hot to the touch (125°F/50 -C) liquids to properly activate the yeast. ❑ Pasteurized milk does not need to be scalded before using in bread recipes. The enzyme in milk that causes gummy bread is destroyed during pasteurization. ❑ Water makes breads crusty. For a soft crust and a creamy white crumb, use milk instead of water. ❑ For best results when heating liquids, use a tber- momcler. Liquids bottler than the requucd tempera- ture will kill yeast Liquids that arc too cool will fail to activate new quick -rise in- stant yeast. ❑ Do not heat eggs before adding to yeast doughy. If desired, eggs may be warmed to room lanpera- turc but newer heated. ❑ Saltcowrols the action of yeast... slowing the rung time and allowing flavor devclopment to take place. It also enhances flavor. ❑ Fats — margarine, but- ter, vegetable oils, shorten- ing and lard — help the dough stretch easily. Fats also make yeast products tender, keep them soft and give them a soft, silky crumb. ❑ Sugar is the food which yeast needs to make the gas which causes the dough to rise. It also helps the crust brown and adds flavor. Granulated sugar, brown sugar, molasses and honey are all -sugars". ❑ Always cover dough dur- ing any resting or rising period. Covering retains moisture and warmth for faster rising and prevents surface drying. Use a light towel or waxed paper. Place covered dough in a warm, draft -free place to rise, and uncover just before placing in hot oven. Q To prevent soggy crusts, remove yeast -risen products from pans as soon as they are baked. ❑ If you have any ques- tions about baking with Fleischmann's yeast, con- tact the toll-free Baker's Help line at 1-800-777- 4959.
