for you and us
Bob's Notes by Bob Watson
Start At Childhood
Many Canadians are eager to challenge our criminal laws
to allow teenagers to get adult punishment by law. This
sounds better because young people today are much more
informed about everything in society than children were
back in the 30's and 4o's.
In our opinion the problem of young people in crime is the
change in discipline from parents and schools to children.
Back some years ago discipline by parents and schools to
children was the order of the day. In fact, the law gave
school teachers and principals the same right to punish
students as their parents had. And young people grew up
aware of what was right or wrong.
Today parents, school teachers and principals are not
allowed to physically punish children. This has led. in our
opinion, to much more involvement of 10 - 16 years old in
crime.
We would like to see parents responsible for their kids once
again and our youth crime would drop considerably we
believe.
The Reform Party has come up with a platform on
criminal issues. Our current laws are too easy on criminals
and there are too many criminals on parole. We also need
capitol punishment for certain offences which 85% of Cana-
dians have expressed their approval for years.
Employment Equity
The second reading of Bill 79 with its accompanying draft
regulations has precipitated the usual chorus of protests
from the usual suspects in their most recent incarnation as
members of the Women's Coalition for Employment Equi-
ty.
The wording of Bill 79 very clearly requires employers to
reflect proportionately the gender and racial composition
of the wider c-ommuruty and imposes penalties of up to
$50,000 on those who fail to comply. This is not good enough
for the Coalition however, who complain about the lack of
mandatory goals and time tables in the draft regulations.
Is this brill truly good for women and minorities' while its
advocates extol the virtues of Bill 79, there is a danger. It
could be used as an instrument to justify the restriction of
minorities in certain professions and fields to their propor-
tionate representation in **the wider community.' Am-
bitions. hard-working. talented minorities could be denied
entre into the traditional professions of medicine, engineer-
ing, law. pharmacy, dentistry and education - especially at
the secondary and tertiary levels - on the grounds there are
too many of one group already represented.
An impossibility' Paranoia' Not so. Since the 20's and
30's. Jew and Asians were first denied entry, then accused
of disproportianately invading the professions.
Just about 20 vears ago, there was an outcry that there
were too many Chinese in Canada's medical schools. The
fact that most were Canadian citizens did not seem to mat-
ter. If Bill 79 is passed, the people who decreid the
disproportionate numbers of Chinese Canadians in
medicine etc. would have a legal right to impose quotas.
Asian Canadians have, as did the Jews before them, over-
come prejudice and discrimination and have in recent
decades disproportionately entered certain fields.
However, they have succeeded on the basis of merit, not
skin colour. I would be tragic if closet racists could invoke
Bill 79 to restrict the aspirations of hardworking individuals
in minority communities.
Harmonious race relations are not advanced by this piece
of regressive. invidious legislation: as evidenced already,
resentments will surface, people will be polarized and those
who believed in determination, perseverance, self-
sacrifice, and ability as the route to success will be denied
their aspirations.
Bill 79 is not a boon to women or minorities, it is a bane.

Ontario's Mental Health
Reform Puts People First
Ontario now has a clear policy framework to reform men-
tal health services in Ontario, Health Minister Ruth Grier
said on June 16th.
Mrs. Grier has released the framework document, "Put-
ting People First", which describes a mental health system
centered on the needs of the individual. It also identifies the
key community services that will help people remain in
their communities, get the appropriate care in the ap-
propriate place, and avoid unnecessary hospitalization.
"Our first priority is the severely mentally ill, because
they are the most vulnerable," said Mrs. Grier. "We will
transform a group of fragmented services to a strong coor-
dinated system. We will see hospital and community based
services working together and put more focus on con-
sumer survivor initiatives."
In many areas, reform has already started. The
Hamilton Psychiatric Hospital, for example, now runs the
Annex, a supportive housing program for people with
schizophrenia. In other areas like Simcoe and Toronto, con-
sumer sur-Ovor organizations have set up employment pro-
grams to help people live in the community and maintain
stable jobs.
"Progress like these truly show what our vision of the
mental health system is about," said Mrs. Grier. "It is
about giving people opportunities, building on the commit-
ment of municipalities, and using our resources effectively
to meet the ~nerds of each person in a responsible, sensitive
way."
Ontario's 34 district health councils, in cooperation with
hospitals. mental health care programs, service providers,
consumer survivors and their families, will play a vital
role in coordinating the planning for the implementation of
mental health reform in their regions.
Ontario's mental health reform stems from the recom-
mendations of the Graham report. "Building Community
Support for People: A Plan for Mental Health in Ontario".
and the goals of the Premier's Council on Health Strategy.
To get copes of "Putting People First", call 314-5518
from Toronto or 1-NO.268.1154 outside Toronto.
MP Derek Lee Speaks
On Media Violence
On Tues. June 8th Mr. Derek Lee ( Scarborough -Rouge
River ) : Madam Speaker, at a recent meeting of the Scar-
borough Board of Education educators expressed concern
over increasing violent student behaviour.
They noted that there is increasing evidence that ex-
posure to television violence has a negative influence on
children and the often excessively violent behaviour
demonstrated by some students appears to be modelled on
the types of violent behaviour presented in the media.
The Scarborough Board of Education and Scarborough
elementary and secondary principals and vice principals
are calling upon the CRTC, producers and media
distributors to voluntarily take steps to reduce the amount
of television violence and to take further action to reduce
the access of young viewers to such violence in the media.
We must take hold of violerice in the media before it takes
hold of our society.
Putting Residents At Risk
The Scarborough Health Department has decided that rats
and mice, rotting smelling household garbage. human
sewage from septic tanks protruding on the surface of the
ground and animal wastes are not health hazards.
The department, with the approval of Scarborough Coun-
cil• has decided that these complaints are not worthy of in-
vestigation by qualified Health Inspectors.
The City of Scarborough has agreed as a cast savings
measure not to fill two vacant Public Health Inspector jobs
thus resulting in a deficiency in staff.
They are justifying not filling these positions by identify-
ing that rats, mice, cockroaches, sewage, animal
wastes; pigeonss on balconies and animal faeces in
backyards have no impact the health of the taxpayers in the
City of Scarborough and are not "Health Hazards...
The Health Department appears to be no longer interested
in good community standards on basic hygiene and sanita-
tion. One has to question their wisdom when they hire a
replacement for the Medical Officer of Health's leave of
absence yet have to bring the MOH back in excess of $450.00
per day to deal with isues'. Then they reduce the level of
service to the community on such basic standards of health
and sanitation.

ENVIRONMENT DAY
1 recently held my annual Environmental Day at the plaza
on the corner of Old Kingston Road and Morrish Road. It
was a great day greeting friends and making new acquain-
tances, and served to demonstrate that the residents of
Scarborough Highland Creek are interested in reducing the
amount of kitchen and garden waste being sent to Metro's
dumps by using backyard composting!
I am pleased to report that 311 composters of all types were
sold. Also, over 275 residents took advantage of the toxic
waste drop-off by disposing of old paint, batteries, motor oil
and other hazardous material, and 130 tires were deposited
for re -cycling. Once again, Metro Works provided 34 cubic
yards of excellent compost which quickly disappeared into
local gardens.
Thanks to all who helped in making my Environment Day
successful. Happy Composting.
REMINDER - 911
911 is Metro's universal number for emergence assistance
for police, ambulance and fire services 24 hours a day. It
was discussed at a recent Police security meeting that this
emergency number is sometimes used for inquired by the
public on non -emergency matters.
I would like to remind residents that 911 is to be called in
emergency situations only. These include any situation
that requires immediate response by emergency services
such as fire, personal injury accidents, medical emergen-

property.
What if you need Police assistance but it is not
an emergency situation"
If you require Police assistance and your call is not an
emergency. please dial 324-=. This is the noxi -emergency
telephone number for the Metro Toronto Police Force. Call

Find Out Why Wooden Barrels Leak At Black Creek
Why don't wooden barrels
leak and how much does a
hogshead hold are just two
of the hundreds of ques-
tions that barrel -maker
Len Heidebrecht answers
with a wide grin and an
easy-going manner. He
loves what he does, and it
shows. This enthusiasm
draws crowds to the daily
demonstrations at the
Taylor Cooperage in Black
Creek Pioneer Village.
Len is a full-fledged
cooper. That's someone
who served an appren-
ticeship to learn how to
make barrels and other
containers made from
staves - thin shaped strips
of wood. He clearly
delights in showing visitors
of all ages the ancient
secrets of the cooper's
craft. He tells visitors that
the earliest evidence of this
skill was in ancient Egypt,
where staved containers
were found in the tombs of
the Pharaohs.
His rapid-fire puns and
jokes keep the grown-ups
on their toes and bring
gufaws from the
youngsters as they all learn
about this now almost -lost
trade that was once an in-
tegral part of life in Ontario
communities.
Len demonstrates how
heating the wooden barrel
staves compresses them
and makes the barrel leak-
proof. White oak was used
for whiskey casks because
its special properties kept
alcohol from evaporating
through the wood. Other li-
quids were stored in the
less-expensive red oak con-
tainers.
Barrels were used for
packing and transporting
grain, apples, cider and
even nails. At the general
store, they held molasses,
sugar and whiskey.
Coopers made a wide range
of staved containers, in-
cluding buckets and butter
churns and ' , - 1 of other
common household ob-
jects.
What's a hogshead and
how much is a firkin?
These questions lead Len to
explain that the -craft of the
cooper became so stan-
darized that the barrel -
maker's containers
became accepted
measures. The hogshead,
by the way, is a 50 -gallon
cask. A barrel is about 36
gallons. A half barrel is a
kilderkin, and half a
kikterkin is a firkin.
In 1867, there were an
estimated 1,600 coopers in
Ontario which then had a
population of 1.5 million.
They were located near
every mill, nail mariufac-
turer and whiskey distiller.
Like blacksmiths, coopers
were fairly well-to-do
members of the communi-
ty. Coopering declined by
the 1890's, when mass -
marketed enamel and
other bey goods replaced
the barrels. Steel drums
and aluminium kegs began
to be used for beer. The
last Ontario cooperage was

These young people are on
duty at the C.N.E. in two
locations: just inside the
princes' gates and in the
old coat check room on the
east side of the dufferin
gates.
It is at one of these loca-
tions that you can obtain a
free wheelchair and a scout
escort during your stay at
the fair. In some cases, the
staff has even gone outside
the gates to meet cars and
buses.
Please note that for this
service, pre -arrangements
have to be made.

CMHC Will Save
$100 Million Over 5 Yrs.
Canada Mortgage and
Housing Corporation will
save about $100 million in
subsidy costs over the next
five years on a portfolio of
$11 billion as it begins rais-
ing funds through capital
markets on Aug, 1, 1993, to
lend directly to social hous-
ing borrowers, the Hon.
Paul Dick, Minister
responsible for CMHC, has
announced.
"The federal government
is committed to contunue
efforts to reduce expen-
ditures and make better
use of resources. The use
of direct lending is a
significant step towards
achieving this goal," said
Mr. Dick.
As a federal Crown Cor-
poration, CMHC has the
Lability to obtain the funds
required to finance the
social housing projects at a
lower cost than the private
lending community. The
lower interest rates are
possible due to CMHC's
lower cost of capital and
the savings associated with
a large borrowing program
and the Corporation's ex-
isting loan servicing net-
work, in place across the
country.

Jean A. Chalmers Fund
For The Crafts Competition
Twenty-four applications
were received for the 1993
annual competition of the
Jean A. Chalmers Fund for
the Crafts, representing re-
quests totalling over
$200,000.
Nine grants were awarded
from the Chalmers Fund,
for a total expenditure of
$37, 271. A tenth grant, of
$10,000, was recommended
for support through the
Japan -Canada Fund of the
Canada Cantil.
With income from an en-
dowment of $500.000 made
to the Canada Cantil by
the late Jean A. Chalmers
of Toronto, the Chalmers
Fund for the Crafts was
established in 1985 to sup-
port projects which con-
tribute to the advancement
of the crafts in Canada.
Following a review of the
program two years ago, the
Fund was revised to give
priority consideration to
projects that foster a
climate of critical
dialogue, analysis and
evaluation.
Among the 9 projects
awarded grants were $1500
to Doreen Balabanoff,
Toronto towards the costs
of research on stained
glass, specifically the en-
vironmental function of
coloured light within ar-
chitectural space. And
$M went to the Institute
for contemporary Cana-
dian Craft, Agincourt for
the costs of the symposuim
"Making and Metaphor: A
Discussion of Meaning in
Contemporary Craft," to
be held at the Canadian
Museum of Civilization in
1993.

Bill Watt's Worlds
Those who enjoy the
works of Shakespeare are
well aware that he
didn't/couldn't write all of
the plays attributed to him,
if indeed, he wrote any of
them. We're prepared to
concede, however, that he
certainly wrote many or
most of the sonnets and
,almost certainly all of the
songs that are performed
in the plats. (lite sonnets
might or might not have
been set to music as well
but that's for another col-
umn.)
Shakespeare was a musi-
cian as well as a producer
and the likelihood is that he
agreed to produce the plays
of the supposedly dead
Marlowe under his
(Shakespeare's) name on
condition that his songs
could be included in them.
Sadly. only the lyrics have
remained; the melodies
having long been lost and
forgotten. Chances are
that they were never com-
mitted to music in any
case. So. productions of
"Shakespeare's plays" re-
ly upon new melodes for
each production. (One
recalls a long album of the
Bard's songs sung by Earl
Wrightson to new melodies.
It was popular as a novelty
but the songs were never
included in any stage offer-
ing, to our knowledge.)
Nowhere do the
S.O.S.-Songs of
Shakespeare, eceive bet-
ter and more loving atten-
tion than w the Stratford,
Ontario productions of his
works. Tbere, they are
given major treatment in
composition and orchestra-
tion even where some are
intended simply as diver-
tissements or even.
entr'actes.
Attic Records has rum,
released "Sweet Airs That
Give Delight," a collection
of music from 40 seasons of
the Stratford Festival. It is
indeed a delight, a collec-
tion to be enjoyed and even
cherished.
There are 32 cuts ( some of
the songs are repeated in
different melodies with dif-
ferent singers) that include
Who is Sylvia'. , When
Daisies Pied, If Music Be
The Food of I.m a and Sigh
No More Ladies among
others. Soloists are John
Devorski (currently per-
forming in Forever Plaid,)
Mark Dubois, Colm Feore,
Gerald Isaac, Dale Mieske
and James Taylor ( Yes,
that James Taylor with
some selections from
Shakespeare but mostly
from The Satyricon.)
Now, it shouldn't be sup-
posed that Sweet Airs is an
esoteric piece. All of the
melodies are pleasant and
all of them are well per-
formed. In our view at
least some of them would
do well on AM Radio. One
thinks in paricular of
Hark!Hark! The Lark
form Cymbeline as sung by
Mark Dubois. It swings
along as though it were
part of a dance band
remote broadcast from
radio's golden days.
Grazie Luna from The
Taming of The Shrew is
most pleasant. From the
same production there's a
smashing mambo setting
for It Was A Lover And His
Lass sung in French.
A good album.
Shakespeare would have
approved.
OPPORTUNITY:
Another of the selections
on Sweet Airs is Orpheus
With His Lute from Henry
VIII. What a sweet segue
to an announcement of in-
terest for singes! The 80
voice Orpheus Choir and 30
voice Orpheus Chamber
Choir of Toronto begin
their 30th season this year.
Both are looking for new
and/ or additional singers.
Expenesingers in any
range are invited to call for
an audition.
The number to call is
694-2579. Good luck.

Young Luxton tried his hand

of British Columbia.
Adventure beckoned when he
encountered a kindred spirit in a
Danish mariner, Captain F. C.
Voss. The pair made plans for a
South Seas expedition. Luxton
purchased a I(X)-year-old, nine -
metre. red -cedar dugout canoe
made by a Nuu-Chah-Nulth crafts-
man. Its ungainly renovations
included a small cabin, three sails
and an ancient Spanish cannon.

This book not only lists
many maps of which one
might not previously have
been aware but it also tells
how and where they can be

there's the Tennlesse Valley

SE:ATON HIKING TRAIL
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 a kms
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: (1) A walking trail from Camp Pidaca to Clarkes
Hollow where easy walking enables you to view a range of
natural features, animals and sights at leisure. (2) A
wilderness trail located in the mid portion froan 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 River where old millworks.
ponds and k►wland 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.

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. I'm hoping to get some "under construction"
photos for a future column.

Grants To
Community
Groups
Further to Its 1991 deci-
sion to integrate its Sexual
Assault and Wife Assault
Preventim Initiatives into
a single vloieliCe-agalnst-
women prevention
strategy, the Ontario
Women's Directorate
( O WD) is seeking corl'k-
munity input into the in-
tegration process. Forty-
one community groups
across the province have
received grants totalling
$280,000 to hold public con-
sultations in their com-
munities.
To ensure that the
strategy is as responsive as
possible to the varied flees
of the community, the
OWD is seeking advice
from those affected by the
current programs and ser-
vices. The Directorate
wants to hear how the pro-
grams are meeting the
needs of women: it also
wants to hear suggestions
for making the measures
more effective.
More than a thousand
groups were notified and
were encouraged to apply
for grants. Successful ap-
plicants met the criteria of
reflecting the diversity of
women living in their
region, and of representing
that area's grougs and ser-
vices. Those chosen were

selected by a Joint
Government -Community
Steering committee com-
posed of 12 community
representatives and 5
representatives of Govern-
ment-
In some cases, a coalition
of groups submitted a
single application: in other
cases, organizations sub-
mitting individual applica-
tions were encouraged to
hold joint consultations.
Consultations will be aim-
ed at the general communi-
ty as well as specific
ethnocultural com-
munities. Action On-
tarienne contre la violence,
for example, will hold
parallel consultations
within the francophone
community. They Black
Women's Coalition will
oversee a provincial con-
sultaion to assess how the
criminalization strategy,
one component of the
government initiatives, has
affected the Black and
racial minority com-
munities.
The Ontario Women's
Directorate will hold
special consultations with
other provincial coalitions
which are not represented
among the grant recipients
but which have great ex-
pertise in advocacy and
services to abused women.

A Rain Forest In Don Valley By Ontario Science Centre
Rainforest in Toronto can
you find a Tropical rain
forest 5,000 km from the
equator? In Toronto's Don
Valley, starting July 1st.
Global warming isn't the
cause. Ontario Science
Centre scientists are. The
spectacular iundoor Rain
Forest is part of The living
(Earth, the $3 million in-
teractive environment ex-
hibition now under final
assembly at the Ontsrio
Science Centre.
The Rain Foest has the
heat, humidity, eerie
sounds, earthy smells and
rich colours of the tropics,
enabling visitors to learn
about the diversity of rain
forest life by personal ex-
perience. Over 350 species
of rain forest vegetation,
including large multi-
rooted trees, vines and col-
ourful canopy -dwelling
epiphyte plants, will fill the
250 2 .Rain Forest, while
computer -controlled
lighting, heating and
humidification systems
maintain its year-round
climate of 3D'C and 10D%
humidity.
Designing, building and
populating the Rain Forest
has been a two-year labour
of love for the Science Cen-
tre's world-renowned ex-
hibition development per-
sonnel as they transform
an open-air courtyard into
a steaming jungle of
vegetation covered by a
15 -metre -high (50 -foot)
skylight roof. Hot, soggy
treks through natural rain
forests in Costa Rica gave
biologists Tracey Cooke
and Julie Bowen and
desigper Joe Sponder the
big picture.
Design sessions with ar-
chitects and engineers
followed, as did liaison with
expert consultants on rain
forest fauna and flora. And
nature did its pert. Consul-
tant Roger Gunthorpe, of
Horticultural Management
Services in Ottawa, says
last September's Hur-
ricane Andrew played a
role in shaping the Rain
Forest.
"It knocked down a large,
buttress -rooted Casuarina
tree at a Florida nursery
that was perfect for the
fallen trunk we wanted to
put across the stream in
the middle of the Rain
Forest," Mr. Gunthorpe
explains.
The vt3itors Rain Forest
experience will be shaped
by four features: the tree-
top canopy and the
remarkable plant species it
harbours high above the
ground, visible from a mid-
level viewing deck. the
waterfall that provides mo-
tion. sound and additional
moisture: the rneanderinft

Choosing A Best Friend:
Tips For Selecting A Canine Companion
Ibis year many Canadiam will
becoare dog owners and beam nD
experience the many rewards that
come with owillait a pet Unfor-
tunately, a dish pentxatage of
these relationships will fail be-
cause the owner made an impulse
decision and did not take the time
to select an appropriate breed for
their Itfestyie. Unwanted dogs
often cannot be t•CMnxd Oo their
place of purchase and eventually
end up in animal shelters or
without hoax&
One way to avoid this situa-
tion is to take the necessary
steps in selectins a dog thatis
right for you and your family.
Remember dogs differ in per-
sonality, just like their owners.
There are more than 150 differ-
ent breeds of dogs in Canada
and every bred comes with a
unique set of characteristics and
behaviour traits.
For example, some breeds
are typically athletic and enjoy
lots of outdoor activity, such as
Retrievers, Pointers and Set-
ters. Other breeds, like the Shih
Tzu, Toy Poodle and Cavalier
Icing Charles are happier sit-
ting on your lap than on the
floor. The Newfoundland, Ger-
man Shepherd and Bernese
Mountain Dog tend to be de-
pendable, loyal companions.
By understanding these
traits, you can avoid potential
problems that could strain the
relationship between you and
your new furry friend.
Before you purchase your dog
it is important to take the time to
snake an informed decision. This
meatus clearly defining what you
want from your dog and seeking
professional advice.
Know What You Want
From Your Dog
While you may be tempted to
buy the first puppy you see,
remember the dog you choose
will be sharing the next 10 to 15
years with you. Take time to eval-
uate your lifestyle and how a dog
may or may not fit in. Ask yourself
the following questions:
• Why do I want a dog, i.e.
companionship, protection?
• What overall personality
traits would 1 like i.e. bois-
terous vs. placid, dependent
vs. independent, challenging
vs. predictable?
• What size dog would I be
most comfortable with?
• Is my living space,,area sui-
W* for the dog I choose! Are
prole-:,
then. , thrr dugs cats in the
rtci_ghtxxubo,A Do I have a
large or small backyard' Do
I have access to parks or
fields to exercise my dog:'
• How much time do I have each
day to spend with my dog:'
• Do I have the patience to
train my dog properly or am
I prepared to invest in pro-
fessional dog training'
• How much time do 1 want to
spend grooming my dog?
Would I prefer a long haired
or short haired dog?
• Do I have allergies'
The next step is to match your
expectations and lifestyle with a
specific breed. This can easily be
done with the help of accurate,
professional information.
There are many ways to
source professional advice to
help you select the right dog.
Look for literature available at
bookstores and public libraries
on specific breeds or why not
ask your local veterinarian for
advice?
Then talk directly with pro-
fessional breeders. Most
breeders have years of ex-
perience working with in-
dividual breeds, as well as
studying bloodlines and gene
traits, and can offer advice on
what the dog will look like and
how it will behave. Remember,
professional breeders are ex-
perienced and knowledgeable

Pet fLwd manufacturer, Rals-
ton Purina. recently introduced
a new information hotline that
helps take the work out of kuat-
ing breeders. The national serv-
ice, called the Purina Breeder
Referral Service. was created to
link potential dog owners with
professional breeders for infor-
mation and advice on selecting
a canine companion.
Interested consumers can
call the toll-free hotline at
1-800-465-3094 and an on-
line operator will provide
names and addresses of pro-
fe,sional breeders in their area.
All participating breeders have
undergone a stringent screening
process to ensure that they are
experienced and reputable.
According to Michael
Gerrie. Ralston Purina, "The
Breeder Referral Service is just
one more way that Ralston
Purina serves as a valuable re-
source to pet owners and en-
courages responsible pet
ownership in Canada."
Taking the time to research the
breed of dog and its personality,
will help you get to know, your
dog even before you bring him
home and contribute to a success-
ful relationship between you and
your new best friend.

Fitness Operators Move
Beyond Band-Aid Approach
In answer to industry
safety standards announc-
ed one year ago, fitness
operators in Ontario are
working to make sure they
continue to deal with
clients on the racquet
courts and not in the legal
courts.
That's the general
message contained in a
new report prepeared for
the Ontario Association of
Sport and Exercies
Sciences (OASES) that
shows Ontario's fitness in-
dustry is striding toward
achieving higher levels of
consumer safety. The
report, supported by the
Ministrry of Culture.
Tourism and Recreation,
points out that screening of
new members' fitness
levels to find out if they are
at risk from exercising is
becoming more common in
Ontario fitness facilities.
Fifty percent of the people
in at -risk groups -including
those who don't exercise
regularly -are tested to en-
sure they keep pace. Staff
qualifications and training
are reported to be at
reasonable levels.
"Fifty percent is not a
passing grade." says Dr.
Blake Ferris, a member of
the ciommittee that
developed the standards
for the fitness industry, in
resaponse to the report.
"But it does show that our
industry is moving in the
right direction." Dr. Fer-
ris added that when
operators choose not to
comply with the voluntary
standards, it is they who
are left open to greater
risk. "Operators could be
found negligent by law for
not providing due care in
protecting clients from
preventable injury-.,
The law of civil respon-
sibility. or torts. allows in-

legal action against fitnes

taining a state-of-the-art
water conservation pro-
gram is critical not only in
keeping Cypress Gardens
from getting "soaked" by
its water bill, but in helping
maintain an ecosystem
balance in the central
Florida region.
Since 190, Cypress
Gardens' water usage effi-
ciency Inas continued to im-
prove, an important factor
given the increase in
botanical and flower
festivals at the park.
"Our staff of master
horicultutrists is constantly
looking for ways to im-
prove our conservation ef-
farts." says Bill Reynolds,
Cypress Gardens general
manager and executive
vice president. "Through
their ongoing efforts, we
have been able to cut water
usage at Cypress Gardens
by approximately 60 per-
cent over the pest 12 years.
while expanding botanical
and floral offerings by 50
percent -
"The environmental
educational experiences
provided to our guests are
put into practice
throughout the park every
day by Cypress Gardens'
horticulturists,'. Reynolds
said.
The design and implanta-
tion of a low-volume irriga-
tion system is most respon-
sible for controlling
Cypress' water usage level.

through the uses of a
spaghetti tube system.
The system consists of
polytubing, with the
diameter approximately
the size of a pencil, being
placed into the plants' soil
directly into the root
system_ The direct place-
ment of the tube. along
with the resulting decreas-
ed sunlight exposure,
reduces water evaporation.
A continuous drip, or
"oozing" system,
nourishes the soil and root
system with water on a
regulated basis according
to the needs of each in-
dividual plant.
In addition to special
water conservation efforts,
Cypress Gardens' staff
compost nearly 70 percent
of their horiculture waste

The History Of Women
In Medicine
The history of women in
medicine, gender bias, in-
ternship and residency
training, career and prac-
tice patterns, lifestyle
stresses, and pregnancy
and motherhood, are
among the topics featured
in Canada's first annotated
Bibliography of Women in
Medicine. Published under
the auspices of the OMA's
Committee on Women's
Issues, the 232 page volume
includes more than 450
references on articles,
books and research papers
addressing issues faced by
women in medicine.
The bibliography, which
;serves as an extensive
resource on the social,
demographic and political
factors affecting women in
academic and organized
medicine, was developed
by Dr. Beverly Walters, a
neurosurgeon at Sun-
nybrook Health Science
Centre, and Irene McNeill,
B.Sc. Phm.. a research
assistant in the hospital's
neurosurgery research
design office.
Dr. Wendy Graham,
chairman of the OMA
Women s Issues Commit-
tee, says the bibliceraphy
is a significant contribution
to the developing body of
research on women in the
medical profession.
"Our committee focuses
on the unique challenges
facing women physicians,
especially those relating to
career choices and work
patterns," said Dr.
Graham. "This
bibliography provides a
convenient and easy to use
collection of valuable
resources addressing these
very issues."
Each reference in the
bibliography is listed twice
- once by first author in
alphabetical order and
once by main category.
The publication contains
notations from the original
abstracts of the works
referenced, as well as com-
mentary by Dr. Walters
and Irene McNeill.
Writings in English from a
variety of countries are in-
cluded.
"Our bibliography will
be of value not only to doc-
tors, but to general resear-
chers and anyone else in-
terested in women's
issues." said Dr. Walter s.
"We feel it will be par-
ticularly useful in schools,
universities, hospitals and
libraries. „
