Dale Anderson, Political Affairs Chairperson for the ODREB, and Anne Briscoe, FRI, CMR, Regional Political Affairs (Coordinator for Region 5, had the opportunity to learn more about current issues crucial to the real estate business and how realtors can become more politically active in future elections. OREA's new election participation program was one of the main topics discussed at the June seminar for PAC represen- tatives from across the pro- vince. OREA President Jamie Edwards advocates the ap- proach that the seminar was not an exercise in becoming a partisan organization, but it was an exercise in becoming a political organization. Our goal should be to sup- port political candidates who support realtor posi- bons on issues of interest to us," Edwards said. "In this way. realtors can enhance their political effec- tiveness, while maintain- ing their independence and not becoming viewed as a 'captive' of any political party - "That means we support people. not parties and it means that any political support would be based on the views of the individual candidates - not the party they belong to," he added. Encouraging individual realtor participation in an election is also an impor- tant Oshawa & District Real Estate Board activity. There are numerous ways realtors can get involved such as by joining a policy or communications com- mittee or canvassingwith a candidate. The Ontario Real Estate Association can also par- ticipate in a more central campaign by ensuring that realtor issues are address- ed, sponsoring public opi- nion surveys and liaising with the individual real estate boards within the province. The Oshawa & District Real Estate Board is a pro- fessional trade association which represents about 1,000 realtors in Newcastle, Port Perrv, Oshawa. Whit- bv and Ajax -Pickering.

The big deal on public employees' wages has now been resolved so that the Ontario government can try to balance its books. One of the strange parts of this campaign is the demand by Queen's Park for the !Metro School Board to remit thernonies saved by the wages of its employees to the Ontario'government - it has been many years since the pro- vincial government gave any grants to Metro Toronto's public educational system. Metro Toronto government is having to send its money to be saved on employees' salaries to Queen's Park as well and it our local Metro government which gets the squeeze on money from Queen's Park all the time. We feel that voters are upset - let's hope that this feeling extends to the time when voting takes place! Doesn't Like Signs it is with dismay that I look upon lawn signs by Pauline Browes.

During the past few years. my family and I have witnessed a cons. tant increase in crime, especially violent crime. Could it be because we are approaching a federal election that Browes is now so concerned about crime'. You bet it is! Browes and her Conservative Party had ample oppor- tunity during the past eight years to act against crime and help make our neighbourhoods safe again. not only in Scar- borough. but across this great country. As everyone knows. they failed miserably. iben Scarborough Centre voters hit the polls on elections day. I hope they will look past Browes' self seeing rhetoric, and judge her accordingly.

Campbell's stunning decision to appeal the court's Wiling reyeaLs her true colours. While she preaches the politics of Inclusion, she practises the politics of exclusion. Her government is thing to revive a terrible law which esen- tiall threatens citizens with jail terms for the peaceful ex- pression of their political views during elections. With the support of The National Citizens' Coalition, I shall fight this appeal to preserve our freedoms and I urge all other freedom loving Canadians, of all political stripes. to join us. our heritage of freedom is our birthright.

Social Contract: Short -Term Gain For Long -Term Pain The Social Contract legislation passed by the Ontario Legislation will result in "short term gain for long term pain for Ontario taxpayers," said Don McIver, Chairman of The Board's Economic Policy Committee and Chief Economist of Sun Life Assurance. "Despite last minute government amendments, the legislation still makes no provision for an immediate and permanent reduction in the cost of government and merely postpones public service pay increases for three years. Where are the long term sav- ings in that?" McIver reiterated The Board's key concerns with the Social Contract: It does not downsize the public service, and in fact seeks to entrench and preserve the pervasive role of government in the economy - in complete disregard of the huge growth of Ontario public sector employment and compensation through the 1980s and early 1990s. It aims to provide public sector unions with un- precedented powers to influence the spending decisions of government, through measures which will empower the rations to share decision-making responsibilities with their public sector employers. This will undermine the accoun- tability of elected officials for government spending deci- sions. It could increase unemployment in the private sector, as the Act will enable public sector unions to demand the DAVID SOMERVILLE If Canada's Senate had an 'en - strives ksr. you can bet that To- ronto Sun reporter Bob File's name would be at the very top File is the reporter who blew ter whrsile on"Senalors when they treed to quietly slip r— gh a tax -tee 56.000 expense hike for Viomselves Nst belore " Senate adlourned lor the sura - mer When t» story broke it Irig- gered a storm of outrage from sea unto sea as angry Canadian taxpayerslustifwbly condernned the vow as self-serving and out- rageous It also led to renewed de- mands from Canadians that the Senate be abolished or reformed and it is likely that this question wig became a major point of de- bate in rte next federal election. despite the tact that Senators voted Juty 12 to cancel the raise Unlortunately for the Sena- tors it is impossible to uhnng a bell Canadians will remerhber the arrogance and contempt the Senate openly displayed for Chem for a long. long tune When t comes to politicians overbur darted taxpayers are not in a forgiving mood It mignt have been a dhtterent story if the Senate had adrrutted that the raise was wrong and cancelled it However. the Senate did not repeal the raise from a sense of accountability Senatorsareap- polr.led to oti ce unto age 75 and don't care it taxpayers are out- raged It was narrow political self- Canadians Want Senate Reform interest that likely killed the raise Prime Minister Kim Campbell and Liberal Leader Jean Chrewn probably ordered thew respective Senate House Lead- en to get nd of the embarrass - Ing issue of the expense hike before the W election.

"Rather than simply making the necessary cuts in public sector compensation, the government has produced a piece of legislation with all kinds of social, job preservation and union empowerment baggage attached to it for which we will all pay dearly," McIver noted. "Any Bill which so alienates the traditional supporters of the government as well as the opposition parties and the business community, should have been taken back to the drawing board. It should never have been brought to a vote." The Board of Trade of Metropolitan Toronto, with nearly 13,000 members, is the largest community board of trade or chamber of commerce in North America. Moving Companies Gain Dear Sir In April of this year we predicted that the only winners in the NDP budget were the moving companies. Now, a new Environics poll commissioned by Ontarians for Responsible Government (O.R.G.) shows that a shock- ing 49 percent of Ontarians would seriously consider leav- ing the province if they could afford it. When O.R.G. asked the same question just before the budget, 41 percent said they wanted out. It's no coincidence that the number of Ontarians wino want to leave increased by 20% after the tax grabbing budget of NDP Premier Rae. People have had enough of high taxes! Even more troubling, the poll revealed that 61% of On- tarians aged 18-24 want to flee the province. 'These young people are the future of Ontano but they seers to have lost faith in it. The ever increasing tax burden is likely one reason why so many Ontarians want to leave - and why so many want the ability to say "no" to higher taxes. Another Envi tunics O.R.G. poll question revealed that 70% of Ontanans want any tax increase submitted to a pro- vince wide referendum for approval. Rae's response in the past to such a referendum has been "we don't need one". Ontario taxpayers are telling him that we do - and it's high time that Premier Rae started listening to us. Yours truly. Colin Brown President Ontario for Responsible Government OMA Charges Bad Faith The provincial government has breached its obligations to bargain in good faith and to make every reasonable ef- fort to reach an agreement with the Ontario Medical Association, according to a ruling issued yesterday by urn- pire M.G. Mitchtvck. The OMA filed the charge of bad faith bargaining on May 31, after government's repeated refusals to negotiate under the terms of the 1991 Framework Agreement between the two parties. In his four page statement, Mitchnick found that, up to the present time. the government had breached two fun- damental principles of bargaining: first, it failed to bargain on all aspects of its proposals, and second, it failed to give its bargaining team a clear mandate. Mitchnick ordered government to return to the bargaining table without delay, and to be prepared to deal with all outstanding matters. "like many others in the broader public sector, we have been extremely concerned about government's recent unilateral actions and failure to bargain in good faith," said Association president Dr. Tom Dickson. "We are pleased that the umpire has recognized those concerns in his award. " According to Mitchnick's statement, in order for the OMA to be able to assess and make compromises on any agree- ment that it is being asked by the government to sign, I agree with the OMA that all aspects of the government's proposals with respect to compensation must be placed on the negotiating table at the same time - whether or not the source of any of those aspects is the government's "Social Contract" initiative, or its "Expenditure Control Plan", or any other fiscal initiative which may form the backdrop to the current round of talks. And the government's bargain- ing team midst come to the table with a clear mandate with respect to every one of those aspects or issues. These are fundamental principles of bargaining, and in these latter two respects the government's action at the negotiating table with the OMA has, on the evidence, clearly been remiss.. . "In ordering government back to the appropriate table, the umpire has sent a clear message about the obligations that come with a collective agreement," said Dickson. "Based on events of.the last few months, it seems to be a message the government desperately needs to hear." Mitchnick's frill decision on all aspects of the complaint is expected to be issued at a later date. Give A Gift That Lasts All Year!

The trefoil is the world symbol of guiding. Trefoil Guild members from Lincolnshire, England recently visited Scarborough and their counterparts from the Ctedarbluff Division Trefoil Guild. The eight U.K. members averaged 65 years of age and over 200 years of Service to Guiding. Trefoil Guilds are grow- ing. At present Ontario has 46 registered units and 106 nationally. It is the only branch of Guiding where a mhemhber must be at least 30 years of age to join. Generally, "Guilders" (as we sometimes are known) are former brownie or guide leaders, commis- sioners or trainers. Poten- tial members, not previas- ly in guiding, even as children are selected on the bus of the willingness to make the Guide Promise - the only real requirement. No one in the family of Guiding is exemt from The Promise and Law. Members assist active leaders whenever possible and provide a wealth of ex- perience and support when requested.

August 4, 1993 Bill Watt's Worlds ON STAGE: Man Of La Mancha debuted on Broadway in 1965 and has since been seen innumerable times with no signs of diminished popularity. The Mirvish Citadel production current- ly playing at the Royal Alexandra is the most physically true to the original that we can recall. The orchestra is back on stage, there's no intermis- sion, the leading man is more than passing mindful of Richard Kiley who created the role. And yet, the production seen -is to be lacking in something, some je ne sais quoi that separates the en- joyable from the memorable. In truth, it seems almost singularly lacking in spirit and verve. Moribund springs to mind. Now. given an excellent cast and good production values, where does one seek the reason' We suspect it lies with the co - direction of Robin Phillips and Susan Cox. Tandem direction can work but not with two directors such as Mr. Phillips and Miss Cox. The former has reined in his flambovance of late. Miss Cox seems to be mak- ing her own statement, or trying to. The result is a w;rk that's inoffensive but, we repeat, lacking in Ibenan fire. Michael Burgess takes on the title rale and, in the main. does so quite well. Certainly he remains one of the fewsingers who can make one weep with senti- ment. Yet, in character, he seems unable to separate Cervantes and Quixote. Of course, they share the same body but then don't share the same ►nteuect. As portrayed by Mr. Burgess. one seems much the same as the other. Perhaps that's fine honing of characterization. It might also be lack of firm direction. Susan Gilmour fares some better as Aldonza Dulcinea but seems not earthy enough as the former nor ethereal enough as the latter. Direction maybe' Frank :MacKay is effec- tive as Sancho Panza but his performance lacks the comic juice that transforms mere drollery into laughter. Brian McKay does well as Dr. Carrasco but the talent he shares with all of the cast is such that he could have walked the role and still be successful in it. It seems to The Column that there might be a more mundane consideration for the show's lack of vitality. Here it is for what ever one cages to make of it. Except for a revue, the orchestra is usually on stage only because a theatre doesn't have a pro- per pit. It's then enhanced electronically to produce a sound like that heard on a recording. and quite unlike the glorious sound of a theatre orchestra playing from the pit. The or- chestral accompaniment for this Man Of La Mancha sounds like that which one hears over water on a sum- mer Muskoka evening . .pretty and pleasant but not compelling. The Roval Alexandra has a superb pit and the convic- tion here is that the current show would be better were the orchestra placed there. It's only a suggestion but we've always taken a bit of a pride in offering aid even if unwanted. By all attars, see Man Of La Mancha. You'll most certainly enjoy it but we think you'll agree that it could he better. ON SCREEN. The word is out that Mel Brooks has lost his touch. Nonsense' An off the wall sense of humour is never lost. We suspect that diose who suggest otherwise are simply confusing familran- tv and novelty. Mr. B. has been on the scene long enough now i He was a writer on the memorable Your Show of Shows in the early days of network television) that his huanour isn't always surprising but it doesn't mean he's any less funny than he ever was. Consider his latest. Robin Hood: Men In Tights 30th Century Fox). Simply stated, it's hilarious and it Around and About Your Dining &Entertainment Guide doesn't matter if it's a case of business as usual or of the master regaining his touch. The Column espouses the former. The title is all that should be necessary to attract custom. Men In Tights is the Robin Hood story as borrowed from Sir Walter Scott and Howard Pvle with a fusion of Monty Pvthon and Bennv Hill. Need more be said? Cary Elwes (The Princess Bride, Hot Shots) is aboard as Robin Hood. He's a handsome man in his own right with the pen- cil moustache he might in- deed be Errol Flynn rein- carnated. The latter never took himself seriously because he knew he couldn't act worth a tinker's dam anyway. Mr. Elwes, however, knows that he can act. so well that he can recall his genetic English accent and do a beautiful send up without making a fool of himself or of the role. An award winn- ing performance' Pro- bably not but who knows with The Academy these days. Richard Lewis surprises as a hipster King Joan and Roger Rees stumbles literally. through his role as the Sheriff of Rot- tingham. Sight gags abound and some of the lines are delivered so off the cuff that one eeriest listen and watch carefully. The effort is wort[ it. ~ of the lines that either breaks one up or goes over the head is delivered by Isaac Hayes as he enjoins Robin to look out for his son when he returns to England.

If you knew that the first Inten- dant of the colony. Jacques de Meulles. used playing cards as currency when coins were in scarce supply. you may aiso know that animal hides were an alternative form of legal tender. Although Europeans were using paper money backed by gold bullion in the 17th century. colonists in New France relied largely on the barter system. Such trading was formalized in Sep- tember, 1670. when a decree issued by the Sovereign Council set a standard for measuring the value of beaver pelts, moose hides and other furs. one blanket could be purchased for eight wildcat pelts. Most of the settlers were subsistence farmers. They traded their goods and services for what- ever necessities they required. Member of the garrison were paid in coins which were sent from France, and in 1670 silver and copper coin. were minted for specific use in New France. In the spring of 16X4, the French government neglected to .hip coin,. This left de Mculles in an uncomt:►rtable position. Since the men under his command were kept busy with 1. their mt nary responsibilities. they did not have pelts to pay for their board and lodging. r f- 18 Cita t0 PROJ In desperation, de Meulles determined to issue paper money based on playing cards endorsed by him, which would be redeemable the follow- ing year when coins would surely arrive. It was a bold gamble. but one that paid off. Card playing masa popular activity in the barracks of Quebec City, where active games of "maw" involved elaborately illus- trated cards with names such as w Tiddy. Gleek. Tup-tup and Toer. De Meulles collected deck. of card% and cut each one into four pieces, which he marked and .tamped as "good" for specific amounts of currency under his seal and signature. This imagina- 1 agar V tive solution to a ' shortage of coin E C T �"' worked quite ^ well for many years and suf- fered vagaries typical of modern paper money, including a devalu- ation to half its face value in 1719. Thirty years later, the King of France authorised the issue of card money to be increased from 720,(XN) to one million livres. The conclusion of the Seven Year's War in 1763. saw an end to playing card currency in favour of British sterling.

Paper money was introduced in 1792 by the Canada Banking Company, but it lacked a certain credibility. It was considered to be about as valuable as a U.S. continental dollar, which was virtually worthless at the time. In 11137, William Lyon Mackenzie signed the first $10 note issued by the provisional government of Upper Canada. Swindlers issu- ing bogus but colourful three - dollar notes were quick to follow. Bank notes which were not backed by gold did not become legal tender throughout Canada until August 3, 1913, the day before Britain declared was on Germany.

Anyone interested should call Production Manager Julie Bjarnason at 497-2570. substantial talent and fine artistry mentioned above. (.She certainly wouldn't compose such a cumber- some sentence. The worst is the transparency of M. Buzbee. Onomatopoeiac name notwithstanding. he's an excellent literary critic, a more than compe- tent wordsmith but, on the evidence presented here, an unsatisfactory novelist, He is like many editors, an excellent writer with nothing to say; well nothing to say here anyway. Fliegelman's desire is the love of a perfect woman. He has separated from one, lost another and now finds a third. They the and the third bird) become lovers. Her husband separates them and ruins him financially after hav- ing given the money to him in order to do so. That's it gang; that's the narrative and it takes 169 Pages of beautiful writing to unfold. Fliegelman's Desire is almost like one of those in- terminable Spanish pieces that, to be fair, often lose effect in translation. It's overlong in making its point what ever it might be and is a probable waste of the reader's time though admittedly, that's a deci- sion to be made by the in- dividual reader. Lewis Buzbee appears, we repeat, to be better suited to editorial chores than to narrative creation. One wonders, though, who was his editor on Fliegelman. On page 165 one reads of Mimi the final love manquee, that "her green eyes shined". Shined? C'mon chaps, let's get with it. The correct word is shone. FAST EXIT: In Robin Hood: Men In Tights, the role of Maid Marian is played by Amy Yasbeck. She's an enchan- ting creature and we've on- ly now realized who she resembles ... a very young Claudette Colbert, Mr. Brooks could do worse than to cast her in a comic remake of Cleopatra.

SEATON HIKING TRAJI_ Now that the weather is definitely warming up, a plea- sant excursion on the weekend is a trip along the Seaton Hiking trail. The northern entrance is located on the south side of Highway 7 at Green River, approximately 8 kens east of Markham. To locate the southern entrance, take Brock Rd. north and turn left at the first road north of Finch Ave. to Camp Pidaca. The trail is marked with single yellow rings ( double rings in case of direction change). Keep these in sight and you will remain on the designated path. The trail contains three sections: 11) A walking trail from Camp Pidaca to Clarkes Hollowwhere easy walking enables you to view a range of natural features, animals and sights at leisure. (2) A wilderness trail Micated in the mid portion from Clarkes Hollow to Whitevale. This area presents an ideal setting to experience "true wilderness". a feature that is becoming increasingly rare in southern Ontario: and (3) a heritage trail from Whitevale to Green Lover where old millworks. ponds and lowland woods have been used to highlight the natural historic features of the area. The hiking trail was created in cooperation with the Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority and developed with high school and university students under Ontario's summer works program. The trail, a living laboratory that provides a natural science experience for everyone. is a single, uninterrupted link of more than 1,000 acres stretching from Green River in the north to Camp Pidaca in the south• a distance of 7.2 kms. With twists and turns the actual walking distance is over 10 kms. ALATEEN This group supports young people aged 12 to 20 who have alcoholic friends or relatives.

KIDS' SAFETY VILLAGE If all goes according to plan, in the Spring of 1994, the children of Durham Region will have a marvellous "village" where they will learn the fundamentals of traf- fice, rail, bicycle, pedestrian and "streetsmart" safety. Sponsored by the Optimists Club of Ajax and the Rotary Club of Oshawa Parkwood, and supported by many Durham Region businesses the village will feature a business section, streets and authentic traffic signals and railway crossings to teach safety in a realistic way. Many of the miniature buildings have already been spon- sored by local businesses, for instance, CN will be providing railway tracks and crossing gates, Dupont of Canada will erect a scaled down version of its own Ajax plant and several more have already promised their support. But there are lots of open spaces for buildings and land- scaping still looking for generous sponsors. If you can help in this way and would like to get involved call Ken McKen- zie at 683-5290.

It was Mr. Lang who was behind the installation and management of North America's first Soils Recycling Demonstration Plant situated on Cherry St. in the Port of Toronto's Ind"ictr"al District. Officially opened in January, 1992, the plant was the result of Mr. Lang's belief that there must be a more en- vironmentally smart me-tbod of decontaminating the Pat Industrial District Lands than the method most easily accepted by the regulatory authorities - excavating material and disposing of it in a licensed Landfill site. The demonstration plant, which quickly attracted the attention of pat authorities in Buffalo, Detroit, New York and other cities sit- ting on polluted waterfront land no lodger developable under present environmen- tal standards, involved the integration of three technologies: soil washing, separating the con- taminated fines from clean soil: the removal of in- organic materials: and the treatment of organic con- taminants by bioremedia- tion under controlled condi- tions in reactors. "It is the time to make change happen and it will take a lot more creative thinking to remediate the hazards left in our environ- ment from the older order industrial past," says Karey Shinn, Co-chairman of Toronto's Safe Sewage Committee. "This change will only happen so long as individuals like Dennis take the personal risk and drive new systems into operation." Earlier this year, Mr. Long's efforts were once again recognized when the Toronto Harbour Commis- sion was honoured as the recipient of the American Association of Port Authorities' Calvin Hurst Award for outstanding achievement at the AAPA's annual convention in Alaska.

Hot on the heels of Jurassic Park comes Dinosaur - The Greatest Show Unearthed, the largest travelling science exhibition ever created. Dinosaur enthusiasts should not miss the oppor- tunity to travel back in time a few million years when the show arrives at Ontario Place from Aug. 20 to Dec. 5, 1993. Representing ten vears of research and expeditions into Canada's Arctic, the Badlands of Alberta and China's Gobi desert, this show will unravel the mysteries of the Dinosaur Age right before your eyes. Visitors will have a once in a lifetime chance to see 11 new dinosaur species never seen before: the ac- tual skeleton of a 20 foot tall Tyrannosaurus rex nicknamed "Black Beauty" for its ebony sheen: the most mammoth dinosaur ever found in Asia (perhaps the world) which weighed 60,000 pounds; and a group of baby sauropods that were suddenly buried in the sand more than 100 million years ago. Designed as a "hands on" participatory display for the whole family, children will be invited to observe fossils, dig for bones, build a dinosaur, and to hear the sounds that dinosaurs might have made. Tickets for Dinosaur - The Greatest Show Unear- thed are available at all Ticketmaster outlets and at the Ontario Place Box Office. Prices are $12.95 for adults, $8.50 for children, and $10.95 for seniors. Family packages are available. Tickets will be issued on a reserved, 90 minute time basis.

Busch Gardens Opens Coaster Ride The largest and fastest steel roller coaster in the Southeastern United States, "Kumba". made its debut at Busch Gardens Tampa on April 21st. Translated from the African Congo -language word meaning "roar Kumba symbolizes a mythical feline creature and actually creates a roaring sound through aerodynamics and speed as it rolls, spins and spirals along nearly 1220 metres of turquoise steel track. The new multimillion dollar• sit down coaster takes riders upside down seven times and includes three first of a kind elements. The president of American Coaster En- thusiasts. Ray Ueberroth, confirms that to the best of his knowledge, Kumba in- cludes three first of a kind coaster maneuvers; a "diving loop", a camelback with a 36o degree spiral and the world's largest loop. Designed and con- structed by Bolliger and Mabillard of Monthev, Switzerland, one of the world's premier builders of steel roller coasters. Kum - ha exceeds speeds of 97 kph, carries passengers more than 43 metres up in the air, and provides a maximum g -force of 3.75 during the 2 minute, 54 se- cond ride. "Boiliger and Mabillard has a well deserved reputa- tion for being on the leading edge of steel roller coaster design and technology." said Ueber- roth. "Kumba's outstan- ding custom designed features will change the standards for steel roller coasters. Combining both the latest in roller coaster technology and an array of favourite twists, the new ride features several uni- que elements that distinguish it from others. trains, buses, streetcars, bikes and walking are smog -smart summer vacation choices. If you must take the car, Draper offers these tips for putting the brakes on smog and higher fuel costs: • reduce air pollution and in- crease fuel economv by up to 10 percent by tuning up your car before you go away • remove roof racks and put luggage in the sur to save up to 5 percent of fuel by reduc- ing aerodynamic drag • every 45 kilograms of extra weight consumes 1 percent more fuel, so pack only what you need • watch your speed — you are, atter all, on vacation. Above 100 km/h, fuel kms is about I percent for each kilometre per hour increase in speed • use air conditioners wisely — they can increase your fuel consumption by up to 12 per- cent in stop -acid -go traffic • once you've reached your destination, escape the car's confinement, sharpen your senses and get the full experience of your new lo- cale — explore the area on foot, or rent bicycles to see the sights Greener tacatrons for Future Generations From a walk in the park to a Lee County Florida Events Koreshan Unity Solar Festival - Oct. 16, 1993 This festival is held an- nually in honour of Dr. Cyrus Teed's birthday, founder of the now extinct Koreshan religious sect.

The sound, lighting, props, makeup, costumes and artistic for- titude make this Haunted House very unique. An ad- mission is charged and refreshments are available. Located in the park's Con- go section, Kumba spans more than three acres and appears to be built over rolling terrain. Passengers are seated in cars four across. A total of three trains, each contain- ing eight sleek cars, enables Kumba to ace m- modate approximately 1.700 guests per hour. The ride begins with a lift. taking passengers up to the maximum height of 43.5 metres. After plunging down 41 metres at 101 kph. Kumba begins climbing up again into a 33 m. loop, the world's largest, interlock- ed with the ride lift. Next, a first of its kind in- version, engineered from stunt plane maneuvers. hurls riders into a "diving loop" from a height of 33.5 metres. Kumba continues to thrill with another first ever maneuver, a camelback which creates a 3 second weightless experience while spiralling 360 ciegr•ees. Followed by more coaster delights. including spirals, a cobra roll and double corkscrew -shaped 'wilt, frenzied riders find themselves inside a dark t u nniel, the feline's den, spiralling upward to the i irush. The new, attraction is the third roller coaster at the 1,*1 hectare family theme hark, which is home to the Scorpion and the Python, two spiralling steel coasters with :360 degree loops.

The Airbus is equipped to accommodate 168 pasengers. The new seating and wider aisles will appeal to passengers in bringing a new level of comfort to leisure flights. The addition of the Airbus A320 aircraft into the CANADA 3000 fleet will allow the airline to offer a superior standard of leisure air travel to more Canadian cities, as well as year round service to some destinations which, up until now, have been served only on a seasonal basis. Abbie R. Goodman, the new Executive Director of the :Massachusetts Office of Travel & Tourism com- mented. "It is a pleasure to host CANADA 3000 airlines in Boston for the introduc- tion of its A32D Airbus. It is a historic chapter in the ex- pansion of Canada's leading leisure airline. and it seems appropriate that this occasion should be celebrated in Boston. one of the must historic cities in the United States... Guests were treated to a reception at the J.F.K. Library & Museum, a trolley tour around Boston's historic sites, such as Faneuil Hall and Quincy Marketplace, and the unveiling of the new Massachusetts tourism video. The introduction of CANADA 3000's Airbus A= aircraft will create a new level of service in the Canadian leisure airline in- dustry in the same way as the entry of CANADA 3000's renowned Roll - Royce powered Boeing 757 aircraft radically altered the market place follou►ing its launch in December 1968.

August 4, 1993 Radioactive Soil Clean-up To Begin On McClure Cres. Removal and clean up of soil contaminated with radioactive particles in Scarborough's McClure Cres. area will soon begin following an announcement that the province has selected a temporary site for soil treatment and storage. "This government is tak- ing action to resolve this long standing concern of the people of Scarborough, and of the :Malvern com- munity." Brian Charlton, chairman of the Manage- ment Board of Cabinet. said as he announced the provincial decision to buy a 5.2 hectare 113 aers) site. east of Tapscott Road and south of Passmore Ave. in Malvern's Tapscott in- dustrial district. "I want to commend the local community, both the members of the Public Liaison Committee and concerned residents who came out to information sessions and public meetings. for taking such an active role in the search for this site." Mr. Charlton said. Now that a proposed site has been identified the project will be subjected to an em-ironrtwntal zcrren- Ars Property maintenance i Landscaping Services Complete landscaping services for residential and commercial.

Other necessary approvals will be sought as the pro- ject proceeds including regulatory approval from the Atomic Energy Control Board. Removal of soil from Mc- Clure area properties is ex- pected to start this fall, after the land purchase is complete and soil treat- ment equipment is install- ed. The project is schedul- ed for completion in 1994. "If just talking about it could have fixed this pro- blem. then it would have happened long ago because that's all previous provin- cial governments did about it." said Mr. Charlton, who noted that the con- taminated soil was discovered more than 12 years ago. Under the supervision of the federal Low -Level Radioactive waste Management Office (LLRW`MO ), soil will be ex- cavated from 48 residential properties in the McClure Cres. area and transported to the Tapscott site. There, it will be sorted to remove radium coated plastic tub- ing and particles. After sor- ting, the resulting cleaner soil will be temporarily stored m the site, and the contaminated tubing and particles removed will be sent to Chalk River.

The Tapscott industrial district was the clear preference of the com- mumty for a temporary storage site. The area is largely vacant and is well away from residential and recreational areas. "Zoning and technical reasons, but most of all public preference, make this area the most suitable around Malvern for this purpose," said Mr. Charlton. In the longer term, it is expected that stored soil from the Tapscott site will be relocated to a perma- nent federal low level radioactive waste manage- ment facility, once a loca- tion is established. The federal process to locate such a site is already under way.
