If you are a business and not in the database, let staff know, so you can be included. New businesses in town are particularly urged to explore the new database. Brag That You •. Are A Canadian Page 2 THE NEWS POST Wed. November 11, 1992 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Better Than Before by Bob Watson The recent passing of the Market Value Re -Assessment by Metro Council to equalize more fairly the municipal taxes of residences and businesses all over Metro Toronto has received a lot of criticism. The City of Toronto Council can complain all it wants but the lack of upgrading property values since 1953 when Metro started left most older buildings in Toronto greatly underassessed as their purchase prices were current with the times. And let's not forget that for all those years up until 19139 Metro Toronto was dominated by Toronto representatives. That is why the new Metro Hall is away downtown instead of up Yonge St. south of Hwv. 401 - a more central location for Metro. The provincial government seems ready to approve of the very small increase in assessment for those who have older buildings or properties while those who were expecting a nice drop in their assessment are going to get only a small percentage of the real difference. But this is as good as the recession will allow. A further re -assessment will take place in a few years when hopefully more equality in taxes will occur. Proposed Ravine Bylaw ( This is a copy of a letter sent by W. H. Merritt of Ledge Rd.. S -arborough to his local councillor. Fred Johnson. P While I stated my dews on this bylaw last Thursday evening I would like to put them in perhaps a more cogent form. First of all. my opposition to this bylaw is that you are proposing to kill a fly with a shot gun. i would think almost all owners of a ravine lot would be quite interested in main- taining the value of their property. Ravine lots are in relatively short supply and the owners have paid a premium for them. In my experience almiost all the damage to ravines which has occurred in Scarborough has been the result of storm water runoff which the murticipah- tv has not controlled. ( Witness the Bellamy Ravine 1 don't krx)w what instigated this bylaw but I can't imagine any (me land owner damaging a ravine to any significant or perma- nent degree. Second, the present economic climate is not good and peo- ple are concerned about tax level.. Much depends on haw this bylaw is to be enforced. If it requires the services of civil engmerrs. ;and pnAess►onal torestens along with an assortment of persons to spot ravine sins then you are burdening the municipality with a great deal of money and the damage you prevent is trivial. It may be you intend to rely on people reporting on their neighbotrs. This opens the door for some people to be spiteful for many different reasons Third. this bylaw would undermine further the right to the use and enjoyment denied from the ownership of pro- perl}-L iAhile Mr. Trudeau did not put this in the Charter of Rights it is an important section of the U.S. Bill of Rights and the right is recognized in common law. There has been too much infringement on the right to enjoy property: the obligations placed on property owners seem to grow con- tinuotaly Fourth, the restnctmns and the penalties in this bylaw are simply absurd. Why should the removal of a sapling have any impact on a ravine' Why penalize the removal of a mature tree if it is on the edge of a ravine when you don't plan to stop the removal of a tree on a non -ravine lot. 11 have a neighbour who bot]ght a large lot - at least a third of it covered with scores of mature trees - who had thein all cut down � . Finally. in the hearing last Thursday. I noted that three of the speakers who were against this bylaw also declared they were in favour of conservation. ilv reaction to that was that they were only making required obeisance to a popular view. The only thing I see conserved or protected by this bylaw is a part of the municipal bureaucracy. Suavely the Councillors of the City of Scarborough could act more effectively and devote their time to reducing municipal expenditure, increasing efficiency in the provi- sion of services and eliminating programs that show too lit- tle return for the money spent on them. What about aiming at a 5% reduction in the tax rate' Yours very truly. W H.

The tenth provincial 251 piece in the Canada 125 Can Pro- gram was unveiled at Place Royale in Quebec city by the Rt. Hon. Martial Assetin, Lieutenant Governor of Quebec. the Hon. Paul Dick. Munster of Supply and Services Canada and also Minister responsible for the Royal Cana- dian Hint and the coin's designer. Romualdas Bukauskas of Lasalle. near Montreal. In his remarks. Paid Dick recalled that at the end of the drawing contest following a penod of only 6 weeks in earl 1991. artists from across Canada surbrnitted over 11.060 designs in response to the public challenge to depict characteristics of Canada. The works of thirteen lucky en- trants are immortalized on these circulation coins ( a 25t for each province and territory• and a dollar coin for Canada). At the end of the contest. 1.423 drawings concerning Quebec were received and 2.746 drawings were sent by Quebecers. Only Ontario sent more i 2936 drawings 1. The order in which the coins are being released has been established through a draw held at a press conference in January 1991 At the time. Quebec came in 10th po-sition. To date. 0.060.00) twentv-five cents and 15.0ou,(m one dollar coins have been issued. Canada Said No! The federal gov't should now put the constitution on the back -burner for a minimum of five years, forget it, we did alright without it. The politicians have shown how com- pletely out of touch they arewith the Canadian people. and in Ontario they port their heads together to deprive is of any viable alternate so we must pin our hopes on the man with the courage of his convictions and give his party it's chance in the next election. Let us have no more talk of Special Status for any Pro- vince or any group whatsoever. The Province of Quebec is only a part of Canada like any other province no more no less. Provinces can follow their own bent in their province but nationally the federal government must speak and act for Canada. One Country ---Canada. One People---Canadians---Ocie Language--- English.

Name Withheld Resolution Yearly $12,00 Allowance For Mothers At Home Over 1.000 Pilgrims of Saint Michael, of the "Michael" Journal, who gathered for their annual International Con- gress in Rougemount, on September 5-6-7, 1992, passed the following resolution, addressed to the federal and provin- cial governments: Whereas the mission of the mother of a family is primor- dial and necessary to build on the future of our Canadian society; to give life• to rear children, to lead a home is a much more important role than any other work outside the home: Whereas a large number of mothers are working outside the home because the incomes of the fathers are not suffi- cient to face the present cost of living, and most of these women would prefer to stay home and perform their primordial task of spouses and mothers: Whereas many unemployed and young people who are looking for jobs would be happy to take the jobs that mothers would leave behind if they had the financial means to stay home.

The Pilgrims of Saint Michael Gilbert Cote -:Mercier. Directress general Pilgrims of Saint Michael Queen's Park Report From Elinor Caplan M.P.P. Oriole .Now that the referendum on the Charlottetown agree- ment is history, the NDP government's top priority must be to restore a climate of confidence for investment in Ontario. Every day people in Ontario are forced to deal with real problems like not having a job to go to, not having enough motley to pay the bills, and not having hope in what tomor- row will bring. Constitutional issues must now be put on the bock burner in oder to focus on those real concerns. The tkntano's Liberal caucta wants the NDP governrnerit to turn its atter on to home so that those interested in doing bossiness in Ontario will be encouraged. The way things are row. the v'DP government is repell- ing business interest in this province. Changing Ontario Labour Relations Act is a prime example of legislation that scares off bossiness because it polarizes management and Labour. Under a Liberal government. Lyn McLeod is committed to repealing or modifying any portion of the NDP's labour bill that hampers job creation or economic deveiopnbent. If the NDP government wants to foster a positive climate for investment in Ontario, it must recognize the tgtimate importance of quality education. Liberals know that educa- tion is critical to give our people the skills and knowledge they need to compete successfully in the global economy aid is indeed, an investment in the future. Education most be accessible to people who warm to learn and then contribute their skills to Ontario's workforce. Under the NDP's policies of higher tuition and the planned elimination of the grant portion of the student assistance program, accessibility to post -secondary education is threatened. That, in turn, will make it difficult for Ontario to compete economically. Education is one key that will u:ilock Ontario's stagnant economy. Another way to stimulate the economy would be for the NDP to negotiate an end to inter -provincial trade barriers. The Ontario Liberal caucus will lobby Bob Rae's govern- ment to do just that to enable a freer flow of goods and ser- vices inside Canada. The Liberal caucus' message is clear: the NDP govern- ment must set aside the constitutional debate and concen- trate all their efforts on building a strong economy and creating jobs.

Writing under the pen name Rachel Vincer, local authors Debra McCarthy - Anderson and Carol Bruce - Thomas make their Kismet debut in December 1992 .with the release of "Hot Copy"; a fairy-tale romance set against the ex- otic background of an inter- national star's European concert tour. Available in Canada only at Smith Books and W.N. Smith stores, Kismet romances are sold to retailers on a unique 'no - return' basis, as part of Meteor's environmental commitment under publisher, Marilyn Black. This runs contrary to the usual industry practice of stripping covers off unsold books to be returned for credit. and them pulping the books themselves. "We believe in romance as fun, escapist entertain- ment. that also reaffirms the importance of lour and commitment in women's hves." says Thomas. "Bit we all live in the real world wherewe know real changes need to happen. And it's interesting to note that it took a company rum by a woman to lead the say in making publishing a less wasteful business.- Although usiness.-Although authors Ander- son and Thomas enjoy writing about exotic loca- tions, they have also set several of their books in Ontario. The next Rachel Vincer romance, "A Ghost of a Chance". to be publish- ed early in 1993, centres around a historic mystery in Niagara -On -The -Lake, and involves a heroine who lives on the Scarborough Bluffs.

November 11, 1992 THE NEWS POST Page 5 Kids Offer Creative Energy Saving Solutions "Use your brain power to save electric power" was the theme of nine year old Alexa Russell's winning en- try for the Power Saver Writing Contest, which challenged Ontario kids to years old and younger to come up with energy- saving ideas. Alexa's essay was chosen from more than 150 im- aginative entries from kids across the province. Results of the contest, which was sponsored by Ontario Hydro in associa- tion with "Kidsummer 9a", were recently announced. Alexa outlined a number of creative tips to help kids save energy, including tell- ing dad to use razor blades instead of an electric razor, and suggesting towel - drying over blow-drying for wet hair. Video games and televi- sion also took it on the chin from the energy -smart kids - both Alexa and second prize winner Peter Gorys. aged seven, from Bramp- ton, suggested turning off games that use energy in favour of playing outside or playing board games. The third-place essay was written by nine year old Nicole Jones from Scar- borough, who developed the "ESI (Energy Saving Ideas, pronounced "easy") living Game" - a challenge to come up with a tip for each letter in the phrase "Energy Saving Ideas". Nicole's 17 tips included "Iron all your clothes at the same time" and "Always turn the thermostat down when you go to sleep at night. ' Peggy Taylor, spokesperson from Ontario Hydro who was responsible for the contest, says, "What all of the entries had in common was an im- aginative, thoughtful ap- proach to energy conserva- tion.

" The writers were also keenly conscious of energy- saving as something everyone should be doing and thinking about. All three of the winning entries asked the readers to come up with their own ideas - Alexa concluded with the line. "Just use your brain power and I'm sure you'll think of more ways to save electricity". Nicole finish- ed with "Now it's your turn!". The suggested tips were for grownups as well as kids. Other tips offered by the winning essays were - Alex's idea. "instead of us- ing a computer write by hand like I did". Nicole's suggestion to "Announce a contest to get kids and adults thinking and talking about ways to save energy". and Peters il- lustration of a lightbulb with the instruction, "Keep the idea light in your head on but turn off the rest to save energy".

We've gone through a lot of skinned knees and stitches with their kids as well as ours. Like good neighbors we also help each other out a lot, so I wasn't surprised when Terry knocked at our door recently and asked if I could give him a hand with something. lie asked me to bring a couple of hairdryers, too. Puzzled, off I went. Seems Terry had bought some of that plastic shrink wrap that you put over windows on the inside to improve window insu- lation, and he needed some help. He'd never done it before so he didn't know this stuff is a snap to use and really cuts down on drafts and air leaks in the winter. It's gook for putting over win- dows in rooms that you don't use very much. You stretch it over the window, and use a hairdryer to heat -shrink it into place. 1 told Terry that a lot of this kind of energy-saving stuff will Probably be on sale soon, and he should keep his eye peeled since The Hydro and a lot of retailers are planning their "October is Power Saver Month" promotion. rm waiting for good buys on all kinds of home improvement items to help get the htttis,: ready for winter - things like the plastic wrap, hot water pipe insulation, and outdoor timers. I have a special hankering for some do-it-yourself acrvlic storm windows with specially - designed snap -in frames - in the spring. you just snap them out and store them until the next winter. As we were putting on the shrink wrap, the phone rang. Terry handed it to tae. saying it was my 16 -year-old son Kyle. with some kind of emergency at home. Well. it turned out that Kyle's "emergency" was not being able to dry his hair when he got out of the shower, with a big date only hours away. But I have to admit, this kind of teenage emergency sure beats having to spend five hours at the hospital getting something stitched up like in the good old days!

Page 6 THE NEWS'POST Wed, November 11, 1"2 Bill Watt's Worlds ON STAGE. There is a more than passing similarity between the works of the late novelist A. J. Cronin and the plays of Neil Simon; a similarity that brought both men great wealth. A. J. Cronin was a doctor early in his career as many other writers have been. His books reflected great discipline of style. Yet, lat- terly there was a sameness about them. The principal character was all too often a physician and frequently. one who sacrificed prin- ciples for money. They were, in fact, close to being autobiographical. Still. they were successful and one cannot fault Dr. Cronin for writing that which an admiring public apparent- ly liked to read. Neil 1 Doc) Sinton is a very funny playwright but a similarity runs through most of his plays. par- ticularh• those of the latter days. There seem always to be two brothers making their way, literary or other- wise, through life together. The two siblings are too ob- viously Mr. Simon and his older brother Danny who served as his early mentor. Still. the public responds enthusiastically so who is to blame the gentleman? So. now we have Lost In Yonkers. his latest play. currently in run at the Royal Alexandra. During the Second World War, two young brothers are sent to their own Ger- man front - living in Yonkers with their for- midable Grandmother Kurnitz. A refugee and widow. Grandmother Kur- nitz has steeled her heart against the world and her children. The boys' father Lacks self esteem. their Avant Gert suffers from a nervous speech i mpedi - meznt, their Uncle Louie has become a petty gangster and their Aunt Bella has never quite grown up. Her mind. the boys say, is -closed for Win.. But. Bella is warm amd bubbly. hungryfor ex- penence and starved for affection. Her search for love leads her to all the wrong places and to an un- forgettable showdown with her mother. The preceding two paragraphs, a model of precis writing to which we wishfully aspire - are taken from our advance materials. Now. you know what Lost In Yonkers is about. What remains for this scribbler is to evaluate the production and to recommend or recuse. The latter is an unacceptable course. Here then, is our best effort. Simply put. Lost In Yonkers is a work that begets appreciation but not affection. It's well crafted in every aspect and vet it's riot everyone's cup of tea. It's not a comedy though there are delivered lines that owe more to Scaramouche than Racine. There is some laughter but it's of the nervous type. More than anything, it's a character piece, the chief one being the grand- mother. As a German Jew fled to America, she is determined that strength of character is the only path to survival. So strong is her determination that she has become a shrivelled hag with not an apparent touch of tenderness. Her family respects her at best, despises her at worst. Mercedes McCambridge takes the role and does it so well that one quite hates her and especially her gut- tural accent which she has chosen not to lose in 35 years in America. It's quite an amazing performance, one to be en- joyed but only b}- true lovers of theatre art who will love hating her. Susan Giosa is her daughter Bella who might be congenitally childlike or might be the was she is because of her mother's total lack of warmth or ap- parent affection. One of our local critics has said she over acts. He should stick to his restaurant reviews' Anvone who has known such a person as Bella will know that her portrayal is spot on. Brava !hiss Giosa... and avoid any restaurants touted by old what's his name. ThatT teach him ... maybe. Michael Gaston plays well as the decent father. fearful of his domineering mother but faced with the bitter reality of leaving his sons with her while he leaves to earn money to pay back to a loan shark the money borrowed for his deceased wife's medica- tion. He could have milked the role for pathos or even bathos but be doesn't. 71nroughoxt, he remains a decent man doing his best as he sees it Bruce Zozick doesn't over act as the hoodlum un- cle. All small timers acted that way in the late thirties and early forties. Eleanor Reissa does nicely as the other Aunt. Gert still suf- fenng traumatic breathing problems brought about by the rough childhood with her mother. Phillip Reese and Taro Alexander are the alter egoes of the Simon brothers and are quite winning. The former is on the threshold of young manhood, the lat- ter is just moving into adolescence. One svm- pathizes and emphathizes with them both. Indeed, one empathizes with the whole thrust of Lost In Yonkers and sym- pathizes with all but one of the characters. It's actual- ly a pity that the role is so well written and so well played by Miss McCam- �� Around and Abou a Your Dining & Entertainment Guide bridge. ON YOUR TOES: It would take a Robert Browning to list and describe the many ways in which the ballet Giselle can touch the emotions. This scribe most surely cannot do it. We're actually strug- gling to express full measure of appreciation for the current presenta- tion of the now venerable work by the National Ballet at The O'Keefe. How does one convey the wonderful acting and danc- ing of Karen Kain in the ti- tle role? How best to describe the ethereal ear- thiness and earthy etherealism of the peasarit girl's love for the essential- ly noble Albrecht? One quite accepts her return from the grave, to which his perceived deception had committed her, to save him from the avenging Willis. One could mention her superb pied a pied• strong attitude, even her sky -like loft in pas de deux but it wouldn*t convey adequate- ly the message of triumph of Performance. Rex Harrington dances nobly with her and should shrug off any suggestions of narcissism. He is quite amply a beautiful man and cannot be held accountable if his stage presence is so Other dancers of par- ticular note are Sarah Green and James O'Con- nor. The former was seconded into double duty on the night of our atten- dance and danced ad- mirably both as a peasant friend of Giselle and one of the attendants to the spiteful Queen Myrna, danced regally as always by stately Gizella WStkowsky. Mr. O'Connor was danc- ing out of assignment rota- tion as one of the peasant friends and almost over- powered the stage when on. It's not vulgar to suggest that he looks like a walk- ing dancing muscle. Perhaps there's a new Pieter Schaufuss in the off- ing. The music of Adolphe Adam isn't memorable but the new orchestrations of Joseph Horowitz make it corse al ive under the loving baton of Ormsby Wilkins. Lost In Yonkers I please see the lead feature) might be the real world but no one can resist the dream world of Giselle. Nor should they. AT THE OPERA: George Bernard Shaw declared W. A.

The libretto of Don Giovanni is decidedly unpleasant. Don Juna Don Giovanni, in fact or in fic- tion. was not a good person. His so called amatory con- quests were nothing more than his satisfaction of the satyriasis with which he was afflicted...or perhaps, blessed? It's not funny and any laughter engendered is usually delivered by yahoos attending the opera under duress. Whatever it is not, it most definitely is an oppor- tunity to hear Mozart at his arguable best and one is grateful for the current Canadian Opera Company production of it at The Elgin. Richard Cowan sings the title role and, under the direction of Nikoplaus Kreizbert, portrays him as what he is ... an insatiable stud. The gentleman is quite muscular and the costuming, about which more later, allows his muscularity to be evident. He doesn't wear a cod piece but it would have been in keeping. This is all by the by in any case. What matters is the singing and Mr. Cowan's bass baritone voice is thrilling. One loves the singing voice and almost begins to like the character. The trio of women involv- ed could hardly have been improved upon. Dominique Labelle ( well named) is all intense fury to avenge her father's death at the hands of the philandering Don. Joanne Kolomyjec is quintessential woman scorned as Donna Elvira and Allison Hagley (what a dreadul name for such a beautiful woman!) brings to the role the freshness of a country girl for whom the act of union is a natural one. She is lusty not lustful. It goes without saying that the beauty of the sing- ing by these ladies is equal to the beauty of their ap- pearance. Herbert Perry rather overdoes his role as Leporello but that could have been direction. Robert Milne is suitably commanding as the Com- mendatore. Charles Workman suits his name in the role of Don Ottavia and Desmond Byrne is a suitably outraged Masetto whose bethrothed Zerlina is lusted after by the oily don. (That's not Brooklynese for early dawn. ) The orchestra is con- ducted with lush discipline by Yakov Kreisberg who seems much aware of the fact he is in full view - as in- deed is the entire orchestra - to those in mezzanine seating and eschews the histrionics of many other conductor. The production is the original Prague version which is suitable for The Eglin and for present day audiences. For whatever reason, it has been set in what appears to be fin de siecle, which allows, one supposes, a certain degree of ambiguity in costuming. Still there's nothing am- biguous abut the presenta- tion of the Mozart music and that alone can be worth custom. Marry it to a presentation such as this and one has "must see" entertainment. FAST EXIT: Global television will once again present the an- nual Santa Clause Parade this Sunday, at 4:30 p.m. One doesn't know whether to be hopeful or cynical over the fact that, as yet, no ethnic or religious groups have com- plained about this essen- tially occidental Christian observation. Road Salt Polluting Groundwater A recently completed study provides evidence that more than half of the road salt applied annually to roads in the Metro Toronto area is ac- cumulating in shallow sub- surface waters, where it is slowly polluting our sources of fresh drinking water. Accordinng to Professor Ken Howar7, of the Univer- sity of Toronto's Scar- igh b�eert idely aasssuumed that sodium chloride applied to roadways during the winter was mostly flushed away 'f spring rains, caus- ing 1r the long-term en- vironmental impact. Professor Howard began to question this assump- tion particularly when a stutjy he published in 1997 revealed that concentra- lions of chloride as high as 14,000 milligrams per litre were appppeeaaring in shallow groundwaters beneath Metro Toronto. ( The recommended drinking water Vity objective is 250 mg I ► . Professor Howard set up a study to determine if there was a cause and ef- fect relationship between the dumping aC road salt and observed degradation of underground water. He used as a study area, the Highland Creek basin, one of twelve major sub - catchments in the Metropolitan Toronto and Region watershed. He then collected data from the five agencies of government engaged in salting roads in the area on the amount of salt dumped on roads in the 104 -square kilometre parcel of land. In order to accurately measure chloride leaving the catchment, he set up a data logger at the exitus stream which collected stream electrical conduc- tivity data at 15 -minute in- tervals. The instrument us- ed was calibrated by laboratory and field ex- periments to provide reliable estimates of chloride concentration. Readings were taken over the period December 1989 to April 1991, and included three winter seasons' salting. He then subtracted the amount of chloride leavinngg the basin from the amount applied as road salt. The difference represents the mass of chloride retained at least temporarily, in sur- face waters, soils and sub- surface waters. The readings during the time period were relatively consistent : appppccoo ' mote�ly 45% of the r. aMt iapplied in a giyen winter had exited via the stream by the following November; 26% to 31% by the end of April, ,and 14% to 1991 during the summer. Professor Howard points out that, for the moment, Chloride entering the sub- surface is ggrreeaater than chloride reaving as baseflow to the stream, but eventually chloride in groundwater will reach a level at which annual baseflow losses will match the amount entering the sub -surface. His data sug- gests that this will occur When average chloride con- centrations in baseflow reach aumately 426 cutptiitheir level. would onlybe the average concentration - it would much higher in ground - waters located directly ad- jacent to major roachiays. Howard predicts that this steadtate concentration could reached in as little as 20 years from now, if current quantities of road salt continue to be used. He is currently working with numerical models which will use the data he has colllect�ed too predict the rate of of grou water and stream wwatnd- er• amount o road on the dumped in the future.

The Jockey Club owns and operates Greenwood, as well as three other southern Ontario race tracks. Ontario Hydro will invest about $462,00o to offset the cost of the one milliion dollar retrofit, which will cut electricity demand by almost one megawatt at Toronto's oldest race track.

Musco provided lighting for the '84 Shimmer Olympics, in Los Angeles and continues to advise the U.S. Olympic Committee (USOC).

According to Jeff Rogers, Technical Sales Manager, Musco Sports - Lighting, "approximately 25 per cent fewer fixtures are used to achieve the specified light levels. Off- site light pollution will be reduced by as much as 85 per cent with the new fights." 'The lighting system will also give the track's inter- nal cameramen the quanti- ty and uniformity of light necessary to transmit via satellite to television screens located throughout Greenwood and the cub's other facilities, for inter track betting," Rogers ad- ded.

New Maternal & Newborn Program Centenary Health Centre recently introduced anew Maternal and Newborn Program to assist women with their pre- and post- natal care. The program. the only one in Scarborough. works in tandem with each chant's primary care giver and offers improved cooe - dimtka of care particular- ly for high risk antenatal clients. Registration inter- views are conducted on site at Centenary by the pro- gram coordinator, Elizabeth Ball, a nurse dietician in obstetrics. "We have a better understanding of each of our client's clinical and anotioaal needs and can more easily access the sup- port networks required whether they are linked to our internal resources or those out in the communi- ty,.. says Nurse Ball. During the interview, women are informed about the availability of sibling, prenatal and breastfeeding classes. Families are ah provided with information about infant feeding and cirrumctswri and are en- couraged to discuss their plans regarding these aspects of their care prior to admission. Additional services available through physi- cian referrals include: genetic counselling, diabetes information, social work. home care. oc- cupational therapy. public health and paediatric con- sultations: one-stop shopp- ing so to speak. The program benefits are twofold: women are well informed of the available services early in their pregnancy and the Health Centre is able to facilitate better resource management. Centenary can ensure adequate staff- ing to meet the number of births in future nvmths and can more accurately monitor high risk poten- tials. Prenatal tours for families are also an in- tegral part of the program and are offered weekly on Tuesday and Thursday mornings at s a. m. The tines for the tours were recently changed to meet the expressed needs of the health centre's clients. For more iuformatwu about the program or to book a tour contact Elizabeth Ball at 2x1-7.132.

Warning About Car Seat The Canadian Automobile Association in cooperation with Transport Canada is warning con- sumers about a problem af- fecting the Fisher-Price Model 9113 Deluxe Car Seat manufactured between June 19, 1992 and September 3, 19W. A Fisher-Price compo- nent manufacturer iden- tified a problem with the seat belt buckle during nor- mal compliance testing in the heat chamber. During the heat test, it was deter- mined that the red push button on the restraint's buckle "popped up", preventing the buckle from latching. Consumers owning one of these units should contact Fisher-Price at 1-8W527-1034 for a new shoulder harness and buckle assembly. ".Although consumers can expect to wait six to eight weeks for the replacement parts to be available," said CAA president Michael McNeil, "they will not have to discontinue using the seat if it is properly check- ed before use.'

Add equal volumes of leaves and kitchen waste to your compost pile. Or, build a separate pile for leaves only. Shred the leaves first with a lawnmower or electric lawn trimmer. This will speed up the decomposition process. Alternate leaves with thin lavers of soil and keep the pile moist as a damp sponge.

November 11, 1992 THE NEWS, POST Page I I Dr. Jackie 7xiziarski treats an injured leg of a Grants gazelle as Dr Betsy Owille and vet technician Arnold Stillman lends a hand during the process. The gazelle lives on the African veldt at Tampa's Busch Gardens and was treated in the animal Nxn;pital at the prestigious zoological park. After the brief treatment. the gazelle returned to its herd. Sime 90 Grants gazelles roam freely on the simulated African plain. Veterinarians At Work At Busch Gardens When furry. scaly and feathered creatures need help at Busch Gardens Tampa, they can count on four staff veterinarians to come to the rescue. On can are John Olsen, chief veterinarian: Betsy Coville• Jacqueline Ni. 'Ldziarski and Bolsa Abou- Madi, associate veterinarians. They pro- vide indica] attention to one of the largest collec- tions of exotic animals in the United States. Their expertise has been needed for everything f ram resectioning the intestine of a 60 -pound Indian python to stimulating an elephant's labour when the mother-tolie began having difficulties with the birth of her baby. The veterinarians have done a caesarean section on a Bongo antelope and called in a veterinary ophthalmologist who treated a laceration on the eye of a Coe" zebra, then stitched it so the eye could heal. In years past, the team gained notoriety for having a South American macaw, unable to eat because he was born with a crooked beak, fitted with braces by a Tampa orthodontist. And when a baby chimpanzee was born two months prematurely, they worked with a hospital neonatal team to save the tiny pa- tient. More recently, Simsim, a 6 -year old male gorilla. developed a toothache. Busch Gardens veterinarians immobilized him for x-rays, then, with the help of a Tampa dentist and oral surgeon, removed the baby tooth and in no time, Simsim was back out- side munching on tender entertainment, demonstra- tions, local produce, animals, plants, foods and crafts. Admission is $l per car. Location: Terry Park. 3406 Palm Beach Blvd., For Myers. plants. Olsen and his staff of three veterinarians monitor the health of more than 3.400 birds. mammals and reptiles in residence at Busch Gardens. maintain- ing preventive medicine programs and treating in- jured or sick animals as needed. "Most of what we do is preventive medicine." Dr. Olsen admits. "1ticroscope examination of tiger stools isn't very glairwrotn. but it's the sort of thing that allows us to treat an animal now for cam born which might become problems in the future." The most common ail- ment in zoo animal popula- tions is internal parasites. Olsen says. If that problem is kept under control. there is time to treat the unex- pected. And the unexpected can range anywhere from the wilds of the Serengeti to the Nairobi Field Statim animal nursery, where critical care facilites and attendants aid veterinarians in caring for infant animals. "In the animal nursery. we have learned to work in a fish bowl," Olsen says. "The public enjoys seeing the babies, and we feel it's important for them to understand what goes into animal care, so the nursery walls are glass." Park visitors file past the win- dows throughout the day watching as nursery staff mix formula, feed babies and assist the vetennarians on their daily rounds. One of Olsen's fondest animal care memories took place in the nursery a few years ago when -'Lilly", a chimpanzee, was born prematurely. With the help of doctors and nurses from Tampa General Hospital's famed neonatal unit. "Lil ly" survived and became the darling of the nursery. Gaining expertise in working with exotic animals requires some on- the-job training, as Drs. Coville. Zdziarski and Ahou-Madi will admit.

Parnu Wood burning soaves can be an economical way to supple- ment your bome beating. In fact, beating with wood is a primary or secondary source of heat in approximately 2.5 mil- lion Canadian bomm But along with the increased use of wood burning saves, the number of related fres has also risen - dramatically If you're not using an ap- proved unit (U.LC., C.S-A-, W.H.), which is properly in- stalled, maintained and cor- rectly operated, you could have a hazard on your hands," says Bill Holloway, a Loss Prevention Specialist with The Co-operators, an all -lutes irwraoce company. Pleople are often unaware of the extra precautions needed when heating with wood; you can't just set the thermostat and relax. Here are some guidelines to keep your home safe and warm this winter! `The chimney is the most critical part (from a fire safety point of view) and it must be cleaned regularly," says Hollo- way. "The chimney flue should be inspected for any needed re- pairs and thoroughly cleaned of soot and creosote in early fall, before you start using it. - What is creosote:' When wood is burned slowly, it pro- ducts steam, unburned gases and carbon particles (soot) which condenses to form creo- sote in the chimney. Creosote accumulates on the flue lining and seeps into any cracks in the chimney. This is a fire hazard as creosote is easily ignited at low temperatures and bums with a very hen flame. if you do have a chimney fire, have it cleaned and inspected before using it again. Creosote can be difficult to remove because it's a sticky, tar -like substance. A fiberglass brush may do the job but in some cases it will have to be scraped off with a metal blade. Care should be taken to prevent damage to the chimney. The safest way is to have a qualified chimney sweep dean it for you. You can reduce aeosoee by maintaining a briskly busing fire with well -seasoned wood. Up to half the weight of a freshly cut log is water and may create a serious creosote prob- lem. After proper seasomag only about 2D% of the weight is water - that is why dry wood ignites and burns easily while wet wood hisses and sizzles. Prepare firewood by splitting it in the early spring and stack- ing it under cover for burning in the fall. You can recognize sea- soned wood by the large cracks or checks in the end grain. Look for thew when judging the qu- ality of any precut fife-_ you're purchasing- Burning dry wood is not only 25% more efficient; it ignites faster, smokes less plus it's a Ion lighter to carry. Hardwoods (e.g. maple) arc more dense and will produce a longer -lasting fire than soft- woods (e -g. pine). The wood you burn should be clean, un- treated and unpainted. Avoid railway ties and furniture treated with chemicals, which often produce toxic fumes when burned. Never use gasoline, kerosene, charcoal starter or ober flammable liquids to start a fire. Avoid burning chemical logs in any wood stove, metal fireplace and/or furnace. Wam- ings are printed on these pro- ducts and for good reason. Wood burns much faster in a masonry fireplace so many gases from the chemical logs go up the chimney quickly. Airtight stoves burn slower and the gases could seep into the surrounding room and/or cor- rode the interior of your wood stove. Check the loading and ash door gaskets for a tight seal and replace if wom. If the firebricks are cracked or damaged, replace them immediately. Make sure the grates, doors and dampers on your stove are in good con- dition and fit tightly. The idea is to allow as little air as possible into your wood stove because by controlling the amount of air, you control tate tate of combus- tion and your fire bunts more eT iewly. This way, you use less wood while supplying the maximum amount of beat Whena fire. use plenty of cru newspaper and kindling. As a pride, put in up on, 10 full sheets of crumpled newspaper and boldo down with at least 10 pieces of finely - split div kindling. A ktosely- stacked load of wood (in a cirss- cross arrangement) bursts faster than a tightly -packed lied of wood. Keep your wood supply at kart five feet from the save or fireplace. Put the ashes in a covered metal container and keep them outdoors until you can dispose of them safely. Wet down the ashes before you throw them out. Installing smoke detectors is important in any home but espe- cially in homes with wood burning stoves and fireplaces. "it's a fact that it is usually smoke and toxic fumes that kill in a fire, so protect your family and install smoke alarms," says The Co-operators Bill Hollo- way. It's best to place one on the ceiling as close to the sleeping area as possible - the hall out- side the bedroom is fine. Since heat and smoke rix, placing an alarm in a stairwell is also a good idea, as is putting one in the basement near the furnace. You should also keep a fire extinguisher hear your wood stove (Class "A" or "AB" is recommended) and be sure your family knows how to use it. Check with your local fire department or insurance agent as some of them will do a safety check on your wood bursting stove. The Co-operators also has a useful brochure on wood stove safety, which is available free of charge by writing to: The Co-operators Wood Stove Brochure offer Priory Square, 5E Guelph, Ontario NiH 61`8
