Any morning. in various places along this corridor, one nught encounter ner- vous White -tail Deer or Eastern Cottontails graz- ing in the early warmth. Matted wildlife trails net- work the area: snipped buds and fresh tracks in- dicate that these trails are used regularly - a testimony to the value of this greenbelt as a thoroughfare for migrating flora and fauna. This Rouge -Duffin Cor- ridor. linked by a series of unique, interconnected biomes, features one distinctive wood, known to local residents and en- vironmentalists as the Alton Forest. These 134 hectares of mature -mixed forest. meadows and wetlands, framed by Altona and Rosebank Roads in Picker- ing, straddle the main branch and tributaries of Petticoat Creek. The diversity of habitat Ronald Martino and Son Funeral Directors (Formerly of West Hill) Brock Road Chapel 1057 Brock Road (just south of 401) Pickering Family owned and operated. (414) 680-=589 occurring in the Alton Forest is astounding: strands of Eastern Hernlock and Balsam fir blend with Eastern White Cedar and Blue Beech swamps. which in turn, transform into forests of Sugar Maple, Beech. Birch and Ash. The forest also harbours a myriad of wildlife species, from Red -shouldered Hawks to Red -backed Salamanders. Seemingly. the Altona Forest represents a microcosm of a much larger natural region; an incredible prospect when one considers that this forest exists within the bus- tle of a relatively developed community. There is a good chance that this forest will soon be toppled for the purpose of development. A large part of the Altona Forest is own- ed by a prolific developer, and for many years, Bramalea Limited has argued its right to build a subdivision on the Altona property. Supported by a majority of Pic kering's mnunicipal council members, Bramalea Ltd., along with other developers, con- tinually pressure the town to accept their applications to proceed with the clear - ing of Alioma Forest. In recent weeks, developers have joined forces with local trade unions, tabour groups and builder's associations in an effort to secure permission to proceed with planned developments. Although council meetings are always well attended by concerned area residents opposed to development in the forest, biased political tactics are consistently evidenced among some council members, whose predisposition with the development of the Altona Forest seems to dismiss legitimate ecological values and true community opinions. A critical principle. con- sistently overlooked by Bramalea and other developers, is the fun- damental principle of ecological in- terdependence. Everything in nature is connected to everything else. One of the most important reasons that the Altona Forest re- quires preservation is that its location facilitates wildlife movement bet- ween the Rouge, Petticoat and Duffin systems. The Altona Forest also provides a suburban haven Let's Work & Make Canada Even Better for songbirds and other fauna; insects breedeng in the Mom provide nowuh- Mau for the vocal cm - dim b and Warblers that grace the surrounding neighbourhood. Fauna must be able to travel to and from one biome to another. Currently, the case for developing the Altona Forest is in the hands of the Provincial Government and Environment Minister Ruth Grier. The developers have proceeded with costly planning proposals and blueprints. and with the re- cent support of Pickenng Council. are still confident that they will ultimately be allowed to initiate the sub- division development of Otis valuable biome. The Ministry of Natural Resources and various en- vironmental organizations, including the Sierra Club and the Federation of On- tario Naturalists (FON), have clearly expressed that the studies and assessments of potential environmental impacts are still incomplete. Local environmentalists are hoping that the provin- cial government will in- tervene to protect the Altona Forest - specifically now that the federal This Space Could Be Yours For ■ ■ PER WEEK Resources Bud Wildman, The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (MTRCA ) has moved a step closer to com- pletion of the purchase of environmentally sensitive land proposed for develop- ment in the Frenchman's Bay area of the Town of Pickering. Craig Mather, Chief Ad- ministrative Officer of the MTRCA, stated that the ac- quisition of the Sandbury homes property is one of the few remaining oppor- tunitws to achieve a buffer Zone of sufficient width to restore some of the original natural system to the Bay. Mather noted also that Frenchman's Bay is the largest area of natural sheltered water in this sec- tion of Lake Ontario. Cong4etion of this major partnership acquisition represents the achieve- ment of another o< the recommendations resulting from the recent Royal Cornrnission on the Future of the Toronto Waterfront (now the Waterfront Regeneration Trust) headed by The Hon.

This year there is a 12% rate Increase. Last year it was over 15%, and next year it will be 8%. The main mason for these rate in- creases is nuclear power. Nuclear reactors are expensive to build and operate. Respite these problems, Ontario Hydro is proposing to rebuild the four reactors at the Bruce "A" Nuclear Generating Statim on the shore of Lake Huron. Hydro claims that this will cost about $3 billion• but environmental groups believe this is underestimated, and that it could mount to $5 billion. Ontario Hydro is proposing to cut back on conservation, and freeze new power from alternative sources. Instead of using these cheaper. cleaner alternatives. Ontario Hydro continues to rely on nuclear power. Phasing out nuclear power is not just a question of money. As Ontario Hydro's reactors grow older. they also become more dangerous. There have already been serious accidents that could have led to a meltdown. The risk of a nuclear disaster increases daily. A safe and sustainable energy future for Ontario does not include nuclear power. Ontario Hydro should not rebuild the Bruce "A" Nuclear Generating Station. Permanent workers at the station should be offered retraining, alter- nate jobs and transfers within Hydro. Yours sincerely, David H. Martin Nuclear Awareness Project Box :.o13I.

What "Democratization" Of Hospitals Means b% Dennis R. Timbrell President of Ontario Hospital Association According to every major opinion poll. the vast majority of Ontarians are happy with the way their hospitals are run. Communities see their hospitals as local resources of which they are justifiably proud. Most hospitals in this province are independent, non- profit corporations governed by boards of local citizens. These volunteer boards• responsible for overseeing the in- stitutions, ensure that hospitals remain responsive to the needs of their communities. Yet the Ontario government is now contemplating changes to the system. It held a series of public consulta- lions this summer• and plans to introduce a new Public Hospitals Act later in the year. Provincial Health Minister Frances Lankin insists that reform is needed. "I am not yet satisfied that we have learned how to involve employees meaningfully in ad- ministrative decision making so that hospitals become more democratic as workplaces." she said. "We need to discuss the concept of elected boards and or boards with designated directors from stakeholder groups." Certainly• the existing system can be improved. The On- tano Hospital Association promotes the need for more openness and accountability in the way hospitals are governed today. But to suggest that the system is somehow undemocratic, and therefore in need of wholesale reform, is a breathtaking leap of illogic. Behind the rhetoric and the window-dressing. what "democratization" really rneans is the politicization of the hospital system. It means the loss of volunteerism, the creation of yet another level of paid public service, and the intrusion of the provincial government into local decision- making. Hospitals will become battlegrounds for political control if Queen's Park insists on pursuing this dangerous course. The existing system may not be perfect. bill it is certainly better than elections or government appointments to hospital boards. The more than 4,0110 men and women who stow donate their time. energy and expertise as hospital trustees do so because they carr about their communities - not because they represent a special interest. a political party or a particular ideology•. Replacing these volunteers with elected officials wound certainly necessitate costs. Taxpayers would have to pay for the salaries. staff and offices of elected trustees (as they do for school board trustees i. Elected boards could seek local tax -raising authority. And the hundreds of millions of dollars raised every year through the community efforts of volunteers would have to be found elsewtrere. In addition. hospitals could Comte under the control of special interest groups (such as unimpia, pro -choice or anti- abortion advocates, and other single issue organizations) in the evertt of direct elections. Rather than patient carr being the paramount concern. the narrow interests of various constituents would take precedence. Is this the kind of hospital syst I - we w•ant - where heahh pre takes a back seat to political opportunism- Government -appointed boards would be little more than adjuncts of Queen's Park. Their existing autonomy weld be uundernuned, and trustees would awe allegiance not to their communities but to the provincial government of the day. In this scenario• who would take a stand against the !Ministry of Health over issues important to the delivery of local hospital services' The Provincial Health Minister appears to have rejected the steering committee report, titled "into the 21st Century". which recommended, after almost three years of study. that the voluntary system of hospital governance be preserved. Instead. she seems convinced that existing boards are neither adequately representative of. nor suffi- ciently accountable to. their communities. I suspect that most O ntanans would disagree with this view. The many volunteers across the province who selflessly give of their time, who help with important fun- draising efforts and provide leadership to their hospitals, have earned the support and respect of their communities. Would elected or appointed hoards perform as well., $13.6 Million To Revitalize and Expand Ontario's .apprenticeship Training System A major initiative to revitalize and expand Ontario's ap- prenticeship training system has been announced by Richard Allen, Ontario Minister of Skills Development. "Apprenticeship is Ontario's principal workplace train- ing system," said Minister Allen. "More than 53,000 ap- Prentices and 25,000 employers are involved in appren- ticeship training. A highly skilled workforce is one of the best ways to encourage higher value added activity in On- tario. The Ministry will invest more than $13.6 million on im- provements to the apprenticeship system. This will provide the Ontario Training and Adjustment Board (OTAB), cur- rently in development, with a strengthened training system upon which to build. ar•fi Bali ----------t•--- Balli with aIiramrii..ii.. craw.a Give A Gift That Lasts All Year!

Wed. October 21, 1992 THE NEWS/POST Page 3 Metro Toronto Wins Over San Diego In Waste Reduction Metro residents have proven that when they put their minds to it, they can achieve nothing. And they did. They reduced their waste to almost nothing during Metro Toronto's Zero Garbage Day Challenge with the City of San Diego on Wed. Sept. 30th. The numbers prove it. Metro's Challenge Line received 4,816 telephone calls, surpassing San Diego's total of 59 calls. These 59 calls generated requests for over 83,000 anti -junk mail cards. Metro's flag and a Toronto Blue Jays cap are on their way to the City of San Diego, to remind their residents that we out - reduced, out -reused and out -recycled them, hands down. How did Metro residents do it? Simple. By reducing their garbage and then calling Metro's Challenge Line to register how they did it. One resident reported that she collected 200 wire -coat hangers to be reused at her dry cleaners, while another resident is turning used corks into a chess set. John Woolfrey, from the Mill Valley Public School in Etobicoke reported, "We produced aero garbage in our staff lunchroom of 14 teachers, and 110 students reduced their lunchroom garbage by 50 percent by using reusable containers, cloth napkins and saving food waste for composting-" Works Chairman and Metro Councillor Joan King makes aero waste her goal every day. "I make sure everything that can be recycled is recycled, and not just by me, but by my entire staff. At home, plastic containers are sav- ed and reused.'. Besides wearing a Blue Jays cap and personally raising Metro's flag at their City Hall, where it will fly for one day, Mayor Maureen O'Connor will send Metro's Chairman Alan Tonks a gift basket filled with goods that repre- sent San Diego. Once received by the THE Chairman's office, the basket and its contents will be donated to charity.

October 21, 199 Bill Watt's Worlds IN THE CLUBS: Describing an evening of comedic sketches is as elusive as trying to describe a flavour. A chocolate lover cannot describe the flavour of chocolate. One can say it's delicious but simply cannot describe the flavour. One can say it's like another such and such but that still doesn't describe the flavour. Second City's 34th and latest revue has just open- ed. It's titled Northern Foreclosure and it's hilarious. There' It's hilarious.4lut, how is it so' Short of printing the script. we can't tell you. Even if the script were available, it still couldn't conjure up the skill of the performers delivering the lines: how thev can crack wise, do fine takes and even. mug. The best this humble scribbler can do is make an attempt at describing what one will see when in atten- dance for Northern Foreclosure. Be aware that this is physically difficult for us because our n b cage is still aching from Laughter. Is there such a thing as insurance against ribs cracking from too much laughter' There are a score of brief sketches. character pieces and blackouts. The fust sketch is of God introduc- ing himself to )clary where she is wori ing in a library. Some might find it tasteless but still laugh at Mary's annoyance over the fact that the creator can't "hang around after" 'cause there arc "other things to take care of'. Those are probably not the correct words but the meaning is the same and it's hilarious. The Final sketch is Blooming of the Rouse in which a young television hopeful joins friend as they go off to see Moses. the Wizard of CITY -'i1'. In between these pieces there are. among others, the following. A sketch in which two Americans visit Toronto in a sprit of friendliness. They are befriended by Comrade Bob of Queen's Park but are eventually told to '-Go home you fur- riner! You don't belong here' . We can but approx imate in print the false teeth guttural of so many East Indians. The young Lady who delivers the line is seen as the same character in another piece as well. Her name is Mrs. Goatkuri. Say it slowly. Then there's the newly divorced man describing the delights of his "base- ment, beaches" apart- ment. . . just north of the Danforth. There 's the bit in which the Marmora Town Council tries to sell the idea of a gambling casino to be built on the site of the local In- dian reserve. Among op- ponents is a beery, dreadlocked brave who declaims that from now on the town can get its own cigarettes. at regular prices. As we say, these are only a sampling of the twenty or so other works. Mondays through Thursdays, there is an extra improvisational W as well. Here are the performers. The only significance of naming them is that we in- sist upon ladies first. Judith Scott is a tawny beauty adept with dialects. (She's Mrs. Goatkuh.) Jen- ny Parsons is a toothsome one who rather reminds of a young. very young Nancy Walker. Kathryn Green- wood is rather more in the Catherine O'Hara mould, slim and wiry. Brian Smith is a good looking young man who doubles on guitar. Chris Earle is as blonde as Mr. Smith is dark. He rather makes one think that Tom Henke is moonlighting, Ed Sanely can portray virtually any kind of character and Nick Johne has a sort of stub moronic diarm about turn that quite belies his skill with a seem- ing throw away line. More than excellent musical accompaniment is given by Bob Derkach at the piano. One suspects he's a good stage per- former himself judging by hits spot on musical cues and the snoods they help evoke. There it is then. An at- tempted review of Nor- thern Foreclosure. One hopes it has worked but you really have to see the show Yourself. Don't forget to tape r our ribs. ON SCREEN: ONE: Night and The City (Twentieth Century -Fox) opens this Friday in theatres across Canada. It's a remake of the original which was directed by the over rated Jules Dassin and stars the equally over rated Robert De :Niro. Paraphrasing Robert Benchley. it isn't that he can't be a good actor; it's just that he can't guess he'll be one. He has developed a bag of facial tricks -the kind that could work for Charles Laughton - and does them to death in AroundandAbout Your Dining &Entertainment Guide virtually every film. And, oh yes, there's his hesitant mumble that passes for naturalism, like those "hid- den camera" commer- cials. He doesn't act; he performs. He's at it again in Night And, this time as Harry Fa- bian, a Manhattan tin horn lawyer with dreams of self esteem to be achieved in any way possible and by any means. In this case, it's as the promoter of a boxing card filled with gym hopefuls. There could be some spark of decency in the character but not as performed by Mr. De Niro. His Harry Fabian is little more than a Pal Joey. And, the latter could sing and dance, Harry just grimaces. The real "reel actors here are a quintet of proven reliables. Jessica Lange plays a tavern keeper's wife who uses, is used by and, against all sensibility. loves Harry. Miss Large can be as brassy classy as an early Angela Lansbury while still flashing the dewy-eyed innocence of a Michelle Pfeiffer. Jack Warden as an ex - boxer not only has the stumble mouth speech of an over the hill pug. he also has the moves. a eniinte&ng one and all that he truly is a former boxer. .a middle weight as we seem to recall. That's why he was so good misty years ago is Golden Boy. Alan King -and rernernber he had made it as an actor long before he became a premier stand up comedian -is all controlled intensity as a crooked pro- moter. Quick observation: He has balded himself for the movie and now looks remarkably like the late King Clancy - Cliff Gorman is typical louver class Manhattanite as the cuckolded tavern keeper. Eli Wallach is in vintage form as a loan shark. Extra notice. too, for Byrne Utley as a dance dub frisker. Dark, mean, and mocking. he's the kind of sub human that causes revulsion in civilized peo- ple; rioting in others. Taken all in all N. and the C. might have been a de- cent programmer except for Robert De Niro as Harry Fabian and the lingering fear that we're Children's Theatre At Stage West by Frank Knight Good Live Theatre for the younger members of the family is not always easy to find. I'm happy to say that Stage West has started it's second year of childrens theatre presented on Saturdays. This season they are presenting the classic Fairy Tales "Sleeping Beauty" on from Oct. 3rd to Nov. 14th, "Snow White" on from Nov. 28 to Jan. 23rd and "The Princess & The Pea" from Feb. 6th to Apr. 23rd 1993. There is also a twist in that these episodic series are linked with Malcolm, apprentice to the world's "Keeper Of All Stories" as he travels from tale to tale to correct mistakes he made in the stories. I saw the first "Sleeping Beautv. the other week and if all follow the same pat- tern they are cacique, in- novative and well presented by Adam Fur - taro. Director of Childret programs. as well as part - author. The show uses young ac- tors who are just coming into professional theatre or who are in training. at a theatre school, so there is a high standard of acting for a children's show. The "all you can eat" lunch buffet is a children's delight of hamburgers, hot dogs, pizza, and french fries along with salads and desserts. It's the same price for both children and adults 113.50+ taxes. There is free birthday cake and the birthday per- son gets a photo with a selected cast member. An ideal show for the 5 to 11 year old crowd and a tremendous place for parents and grandparents to visit. Stage West Theatre Restaurant, is at MW Dixie Road, and the box office is at 238-0092. Reserved For Kids! The 1992 93 season of Young People's Concerts presented by The Toronto Symphony is the perfect combination of music and fun! These five concerts sponsored by Aetna Canada are designed to in- troduce children aged 7 to 12 to symphony perfor- mances. Young guest ar- tists as well as puppets. dancers. actors and lively conductors gather for a fun -filled hour of classical music. For the first concert this season, conductor David Amram joins The Toronto Symphony on Oct. 24th for an afternoon of music about the great outdoors. The program, entitled "Br- inging the Outside In", will include Beethoven's "The Storm" from the Pastoral Symphony and the '.Autumn" movement from Vivaldi's The Seasons. To celebrate the fall harvest. Copland's `Hoe - Down" from rodeo is on the roster as well as square dancing performed by the Canadian Dance Tapestry. Of course no hoe-down would be complete without a fiddler.

As the title implies, this is a series of concert performances of operas that are too rarely seen. Many of them are in- sufferably expensive to produce with full scale values. That should not mean. however, that their music should not be heard in person. This Saturday and Sun- day, Opera in Concert presents the Canadian premiere of Maria Paddila by Donizetti, in Italian. The first performance is at 8 p.m. and the second is a matinee at 2 p.m. Both are at the Jane Mallett Theatre in the St. Lawrence Centre. BILLY D.

Only 200 tickets are available and the cast is an extremely modest $20. . _surely one of the better, perhaps best dollar values imaginable. Call 596-659. OBSERVATION: : By now you'll have read and heard that a bar office for Showboat, opening in October '93, has already been set up in Mel Lastman Square, just adjacent to the North York Performing Arts Centre presently in advanced constriction. It, the box office, is quite a building, almost too good. Constructed in the design of a southern river showboat, it's so authentic looking as to be just a tad offputting. Showboats weren't really grand looking but people think they were and could be disappointed at the authentically replicated edifice now on view. It's just a suggestion on our part but we'd like to see it Blitzed up a bit. . -brighter paint perhaps and polished copper plating on the smoke stacks. Of course, we'd not be paying for these suggested improvements. Our recom- mendations however, are, as always, gratis. EXIT: Older readers will recall when B.B.Q. meant barbecue.

T On to Roll Skates largest skating raise f Scleros Canada. The Ready to Roll Super - Skate for MS is a 10 km, one -day opportunity to skate across Canada in a specially designed course. 'The event takes place at Exhibition Place in the In- dustry Building. The con- cept was created by Clarence Ford, partner in Ready to Roll. The com- pany was looking for an op- portunity to promote inline skating in Torotno. Mr. Ford is the volunteer choreographer of the An- nual Multiple Sclerosis Bachelor Classic, so it was natural for him to think of the MS Society as the beneficiary. Mr. Ford stated, "In line skating is quickly bcoming a popular sport. We wanted to offer experienced Community Sports Notes Roller Superska to For MS Sun.

Inline skates were in- vented in 1980 by two brothers from Minnesota who were looking for a summer cross training solution for ice hockey. In- itially they realigned a pair of roller skates with all four wheels rung down the centre of the boot. The traditional roller skate bears little resemblance to this new high-tech inline skate - an ice skate with wheels' There are many different styles of inline the whole ing needs, ante training skates.

"e Canadian Lacrosse Association founded in 1867, was the first National Sport Gover- ning Body formed in Canada and only moths .. younger than our country, stated Executive Director. Wes Clark. Lacrosse is drought to be the oldest sport in North America. It originated among the Native tribes and predates Colurrnbus's discovery of America. Lacrosse held religious significance and was an important aspect of native conununity fife. it served to prepare the Indian war- riors for combat because of the intense level of en- durance and the quick speed that the game demands. A newer version of the :amort evolved when the tm&tio al tame d Field bi Lacrosse was comned wi!b another popularCana- dian Ca- dian game. hockey, and produced Box Lacrosse. This uniquely Canadian game is played on an mvm floor with modified rules. The future of Lacrosse in Canada looks Wright. "In some parts of the country. participation in the game has increased by up to 25% over last year." said CIA Chairman William Hutton. The game can be played try both males and females of any age. Chikiren start as young as three and we have people playing well ir into thesixties,' stated Mr. Hutton. A number of activities are planned across the country to celebrate 125 years of Lacrosse and to increase awareness of Canada's Na- tional Game.

This study will produce a preliminary design for a stormwater facility to improve the quality of the water flowing from Emery Creek into the Humber River. (Please see map below). It will include evaluation of urban run-off from residential, industrial and commercial sources. Based on the work completed by an earlier study, a recommendation has been made to construct a stormwater retention pond in the valley lands adjacent to St. Lucie Park. Alternate forms of stormwater quality control will be considered as part of this study. If constructed, the facility would be operated as a pilot project. The study follows the process set out in the Class Environmental Assessment for Municipal Sewage and Water Projects, as approved by the Ministry of the Environment. The Purpose of the Open House and Meeting is to: e provide background information and indicate alternatives currently being considered. es enable you to discuss those plans with your neighbours, Metro Works Staff and Project consultants and to provide input into the process.

That was one of the main messages of Ernst & Young, Toronto Director of U.S. Tax, Dan DuFon and Senior Tax Manager Ron Friesen, who spoke to business ex- ecutives at the Sheraton East Hotel on Kennedy Road on Oct. 8th. The seminar, "Doing Business in the United States," sponsored by the Scarborough Chamber of Commerce was hosted by the accounting and con- sulting firm's Toronto Metro East office. Some entrepreneurs. for starters, will use a low key approach when they enter the U.S. market, says Friesen. "They make up their mind to enlist specialists only if the pro- duct is successful," he says. "But sometimes that's too late and not all of the strategies and issues Small businesses have, for some tithe. been the leadie s in job creation in Canada. and are a segment of the business population that is certainly integral to the dynamic commerce community in North York. Now, The City of North York's Property & Economic Development Department is presenting the first in an annual series of seminars aimed at the small busine m decision - maker - North York Small Business '92 to be held at the North York Civic Cen- tre Oct. 29th and 3Dth. This showcase of seminars, workshops and guest speakers add up to an incredible opportunity for small business education, have been explored. The result is a failed - and sometimes costly - venture." A far more effective method is to decide from the beginning just what the issues are. Then decide which of the many methods of entering the market is right for you, he says. A businessman can market and finance a product or service in the U.S. in a number of different ways. Some of these methods in- clude subsidiaries, bran- ches, manufacturing agents, and partnerships. Buying an existing com- pany is also an option, says DuFon. Two of the most impor- tant issues will be to deter- mine how to finance the venture and where will it operate. say DuFon and Friesen. Then there will be the myriad of details to be taken cane of before the paperwork is completed. -- ---sem-- —__— __ __- - �_.._._._..�..._•_•_•�,�,..,� .._..�,m,ae;�si;:,, . a,.a.�ii. Tax specialists have to figure out the different tax laws which are different in each of the States. Then there are technical details to consider involving transfer pricing, tariff bar- riers, and returning profits to Canada. It's difficult to say if Free Trade has been a con tributing factor to the in- crease in interest in the U.S., says Friesen. In some instances, the FTA might fnake it easier to launch a product or services south of the border. The higher Canadian dollar and higher wage costs are two reasons why manufacturers are tempted by business south of the border, he says. "Among the many myths and surprises. there is one point that is clear - expert advice and advance plann- ing are the best way to avoid any traps for Cana- dian businesses,.* he says. Business growth, information shar- ing and (networking never before available over a two day period. The small business forum is a survival guide designed to help business succeed in Borth York. And it's free, with just a nom mail sum of $10 to be charged for luncheons. Already. major forces such as the hitimstry of In- dustry, Trade & Techno6ca. North York Hydro.

October Luncheon At YTA Brenda Erickson, Presi- dent, SAS Institute ( Canada) Inc. will be the guest speaker at the Wed. Oct. 28th meeting of York Technology Association at the Chimo Hotel, 7095 Woodbine Ave. Her topic will be "Ibe Opening of the Corporate Mind -Breaking Through Information Barriers.. Today more and more people in every organiza- tion have supposedly become knowledge workers. Yet that cor- porate brain power is not being used effectively. Pro- ductivity studies indicate that white collar workers are no more efficient than they were a decade ago.

Referrals Business Network When was the last time you had breakfast with a financial advisor, a musi- cian, a chartered accoun- tant, a lawyer, an image consultant, and a jewellery designer, all on the same day? "The first Tuesday of every month," say par- ticipants in the Referrals Business Network for women. Once a month for a year now, the Referrals Network has been meeting over breakfast at the On- tario Club. The women come from a wide variety of businesses, but each has the same goal - to connect with other women in business. And the bigger the network becomes, the more opportunity for business contacts. To celebrate its first an- niversary, Referrals is having a cocktail reception for both members and non- members ( this event is also open to men), on Oct. 23rd at 7 p.m. at the Ontario Club, 5th floor, Commerce Court South (NE corner of Bay and Wellington Sts., Toronto). Tickets are $2o and include hors d'oeuvres, cake and champagne. Cash bar. For information or tickets call 658-3161. Referrals was co- founded by Lina Addesi, an image consultant, Christina Mizur, an il- lustrator and designer, Dianne Robinson, an enter- tainment coordinator, and Tina Graham, an interior design consultant. Referrals is an excellent way to make business con- tacts and to develop per- sonal excellence," Addesi says. "But you can't expect to make your fortune on your first time out. Establishing business con- tacts takes time but it can be very rewarding in many areas, not only financial." A Referrals membership is $30 annually, which in- cludes reduced rates at monthly breakfast meetings and free advertis- ing in the monthly newslet- ter. For more information contact Lina Addesi at ( 416) 658-3161.

Advertising to introduce Air Mauritius to the Eastern Canadian market will be supported by media and other promotions designed to acquaint travel agents and the public with the quality and scope of Air Mauritius operations world wide. The island of 'Mauritius. which lies 700 kms east of Madagascar in the Indian Ocean• provides a wealth of experiences and sights to tempt even the most jaded traveller. Anyone seeking something excitingly dif- ferent would do well to head for Mauritius, the latest destination to be discovered by those in the know from Europe and beyond. The island nation's historic tradition harks back mote than L% years. when the fust inhabitants arrived. Today Mauritius is a cultural melange of In- dians. Hindus. Creoles, Muslims. French and Chinese, reflecting British, French. African and Asian cultures. As a former British colony, English is the official language, although French and Creole are commonly spokM. The launch week will in- clude exciting menus prepared by Mauritian chefs flown in for the pro- motion. Sega dancers ac- compamed by a Mauritian bard will entertain in the evenings. A walk-through fashion parade will take Place at noon time in the dining morns of the par- ticipating Holiday Inns. Mauritius in the matter of taste is sensuous: it plays to an international palate. Expect culinary surprises when several cultures converge and shock the most jaded of palates. Indian and Creole curries, French nouvelle cuisine. pastas from Milano and Muslim binyaris next to a host of Chinese delicacies. Air Mauritius is facing tremendous challenges as it breaks new ground. George Papamoros, Na- tional Sales Manager for Air :Mauritius in Canada, based in Toronto says that "access to the island of Mauritius is as easy as an evening flight to London. Paris or home. connecting to a non-stop Air Mauritius flight to the dramatic island in the Indian Ocean." Mr. Papamoros went on to say that people may be asJung the question: Given the current state of the travel and tourism in- dustry, with many airlines retrenching in the crake of the Gulf War and reces- sion. w•hy is Air Mauritius promoting at this tune'" "Air Mauritius' ap- proach to market develop- ment is focused on the long- term. We believe %orth America has considerable potential as an off-line market, which can only be developed by provit Ing necessary programs and testing the market.- he said. Air Mauritius provides regular service from several European capitals: London, Paris, Rome, Geneva. Munich, Zurich. as well as Bombay. Hong Kong. Singapore, %airobi and Perth. Baby Otter Gets New Hope At Sea World A tiny, Asian Small - Clawed otter - a rare and endangered species - is now being carefully hand - raised by one of Sea World of Florida's animal care specialists. In Sea World's otter rehabilitation pro- gram. hand -raising is a technique often used by the marine life park's husban- dry experts to assist lost or abandoned baby animals until they are old enough to survive on their own. Sea World curators step- ped in shortly after Bailey's birth to give him a helping hand. The five- week old male pup was in danger of becoming malnourished. -This was his mother's first litter, and she had no experience in rearing her young," said Steve Lang, Sea World animal care specialist and "surrogate father" to the otter. "Because this species of otter is en- dangered, we couldn't take any chances with Bailey's survival." The welfare of the Asian Small -Clawed otter is also supported by the Species Survival Plan l SSP l , in which Sea World par- ticipates. Established by the American Association of Zoological Parks and Aquariums, the SSP pro- gram helps preserve en- dangered species by main- taining viable gene pods in breeding programs. it is often the last chance to re- establish a species in its natural environment. Hamel -raising a baby ot- ter is round-the-clock responsibility and includes constant monitoring of the animal's health, daily baths and frequent feedings. Like most babies. Bailey requires lots of nur- turing. "He can't be left for very long by himself and he needs a lot of attention," said Lang. During bath time, a damp cotton ball is used to simulate the natural feel- ing of a mother otter clean- ing her young. To feed the one pound pup, every four hours, Lang uses a small bottle to give Bailey a mix- ture of water and Esbilack. a vitamin -enriched for- mula used as a milk substitute. Gradually, over the next three months, Bailey will be introduced to solid fish, including trout and smelt. The otter youngster sleeps in a temperature controlled bed• similar to an in- cubator, that maintains an even and comfortable temperature of 29.50 Wed.
