Home My WebLink AboutPP1993_08_18Realtors Offer Facts People thinking of pur- chasing a home using their Registered Retirement Savings Plans (RRSPs) as a down payment can get updated information from area Realtors. Two new publications on the popular RRSP Home Buyers' Plan were distributed to Realtors of the Oshawa & District Real Estate Board (ODREB) by The Canadian Real Estate Association. "We have a consumer's pamphlet and a Realtor's handbook which contain facts people should con- sider when deciding whether to use their RRSPs for a down payment," says Christine Kendall, ODREB President. "However, I would en- courage prospective buyers to contact a Realtor soon because the federal government Home Buyers' Plan is scheduled to end in less than a year," she adds. The Home Buyers' Plan was announced in the 1992 federal budget and allows contributing Canadians to withdraw up to $30.000 each from the RRSPs to build or bun- a home. You can withdraw- from more than one RRSP up to $20,000 each. No interest is charged and no income tax is deducted as long as the funds are repaid to an RRSP according to a government repayment schedule. The plan is available to first-time or existing home owners, but the home owner must enter in an agreement to buy a qualify- ing home and withdraw the RRSP funds before March 2, 1994. The plan was ocigionally scheduled to end in March 19w, but was extended one year due to the lobbying ef- fotrts of the ODREB, other real estate boards, and the Canadian Real Estate Association. More than 146,00u people had made use of the plan by March 31, 1992. "We are continuing to press the government to make this a permanent but there are no plan. uaantees at this stage, so people considering a pt r - chase should do so now," says Kendall. "The Home Buyers' Plan combined with the lowest interest rates in years makes this an ideal time to buy a home."

David Strain and Carlie Smith, representing PACT, asked council to take strong and immediate ac- tion to close the Brock West Landfill Site. They also asked council to forbid any dumping in Pickering from the Malvern Remedial Pro- ject. The delegation advised council that leachate con- tamination was found in two wells, one of which was two feet from the landfill site boundary and they ask- ed that a leachate treat- ment facility be built in Pickering within the next two years. A resolution at council to seek compensation for 7 milion tons of garbage which was in excess of the agreed limits at the Brock West landfill Site was last in a vote of 5-3. Council then decided to approach the Ministry of the Environment and Energy about potential of expansion of the landfill site and the town's con- cerns on overbuilding. Since 1964, The Kidney.

Dorothy Munro of 400 Con- cession 3 Road pointed out that there is not one family within Cherrywood or even Pickering who could use this facility. Jim Everley of Rosebank Road in Cherrywood told council that this proposed centre would accom- modate 260 people and this is overwhelming as the population of Cherrywood Consists of only 40 people. John Coultis. 435 Conces- sion 3 Road, told council that the residents of Cher- rywood elected council members and the residents would like them to listen to them and refuse this ap- plication. A member of the ex- ecutive of the Islamic Council said he has been a resident of Canada for 30 years and a schedule of events had been outlined to the residents and council. He said that no drinking, dancing or land music at the centre. Brenda Pemberton- Piggot of 2390 Rosebank Road said that Cherrywood was a residential hamlet except for an existing church and store. Margaret Lategan of 455 Concession 3 Road stated her resentment that this was being made a racial problem. She added that her objection would be to the increase in traffic. Doug Moss, a resident of Cherrywood said he had no objection to a Muslum family moving into the community but he wanted the Cherrywood area to re- main free of traffic.

August 18, 1993 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Bob's Notes by Bob Watson Stop Dishing Out Now that the Ontario government is extracting money out of municipal governments in its employee pay reduction campaign, we believe it is high time that provincial MPPs stop handing out public money to anybody for any purpose. If we are going to put the lid on our Ontario government deficit, let's stop dishing out cheques to people doing "nice things" but are not essential for our economy. And the federal government could stop handing out tax money as well. There is another way around public tax money being spent steadily. We refer to the idea of handing out projects to private enterprise on contracts rather than hiring civil servants. On example is public housing which has a large number of public civil servants and government property. Surely it would be cheaper to house people who are on public welfare in private enterprise buildings. The tax dollars to the private entrepreneurs would be a lot less than the cost of public housing. POW Compensation Rests On Canadian Government hon Tile War Amputations of Cando The question of whether members of the Canadian Military who were forced into slave labour by Japan during World War II will receive the compensation due them under the Geneva Convention now rests squarely upon the shoulders of the Canadian government. The war Amps of Canada. using its status as a non- governmental organization registered with the United Na- tions. has now submitted the claim against the Canadian Government, through the Human Rights Committee in Geneva. Switzerland. The War Amps has been pursuing this claim since 1967. The previous submissions were all made directly to the Japanese Government. under the auspices of the Human Rights Agencies in Geneva. The Canadian Government refused to support the claim and it was stonewalled by the Japanese delegation during the most recent deliberations in Geneva. This left us with no alternative but to submit the claim to the Canadian Government under what is known as the "Op. tional Protocol." This precedure permits a complainant to go directly to his or her own government if there is evidence that its failure to act represents a violation of human rights. Speaking on behalf of the Canadians involved in the claim. Cliff Chadderton. Chief Executive Office of The War Am- putaions of Canada stated: "The survivors of the Japanese prison camps have no desire to place an additional burden upon the Canadian taxpayers. Given the failure of the Canadian Government to support this claim, however, and have regard for the circumstances under which these soldiers were sent to the Far East, their own Government has a responsibility either to ensure that Japan pays its just debts under the Geneva Convention or alternatively, the Canadian Government makes the payment." The total cost of the claim is estimated at 24.5 million dollars, to be paid either to survivors of the prison camps or their widows. The matter has previously been forwarded for considera- tion of Brian Mulroney, particularly since he discussed the claim with Japanese Prime Minister Tashika Kaifu at a meeting in Tokyo in May of 1991. At that time, Mr. Mulroney stated that if Catiadianis were seeking compensa- tion they should look to their own government. In further correspondence with the Non. Barbara McDougall, the then Minister of External Affairs, the Cana- dian Government failed to live up to the commitment made by Prime Minister Mulroney. In a letter dated Nov. 20, 1992, Barbara McDougall attempted to justify the lack of response and support from the Canadian Government. This left The War Amps with no alternative but to refer the mat- ter officially to Canada under the terms of the various inter- national covenants on human rights.

He is also a talented poet who enjoys sharing his work. On Tues. July 27, in the Long Term Care Lobby of the hospital, Earl unveiled his first book of poems. Having written over 300 poems to date, he has selected several of his favourites for his book. Proceeds from the sales of his works will go to the hospital. Copies can be pur- chased in either of the hospital gift shops. In recognition of this special occasion, Earl prepared the following poem, in which he explains what poetry has meant to him and what he feels it has meant to others. ' The Things I Have Gained I achieve so much pleasure in what I do, These poems and thoughts for myself and you. Things that lie hidden somewhere in my mind And now released, no longer confined. The smiles and kind words are reward enough When I find that my days are lonely and tough. I find gratification, satisfacion and joy In this method and manner my thoughts employ. Without realizing, this magic I have found the ability to put words into a more flowing sound. I now make people smile and concentrate more For they never know line by line what lies in store What I do now creates the occasional tear Or a release into adventure, an escape from fear. Tall tales of lovers, romance and intrigue. Legends, nature and nations joined league upon league I've told you the tale of my searching youth And my misconceptions of what was truth. Through these poems I have gained a wealth of good friends. A treasure that I hope and pray never ends. I have regained Aide and confidence and courage too And I attribute all of it to just knowing you. A feeling of comfort in accomplishing a goal An added sense of value to both mind and soul. Earl Clarke June 25. 1993 Ontario Government Backs Aborigional Communities Aborigional recreation services received a major shot -in - the -arm Aug. 12th waren Ontario Minister of Culture. Tourism and Recreation Anne Swarbrick announced a S107,400 contribution to the Aborigional Recreation Council. In presenting the cheque to the council representatives at the 19th Annual Ontario Chiefs' Conference, Minister S%ar- brick said the funding will greatly expand the council's operations. '-This funding will help the council reach out to form new partnerships• build leadership for fundraising, develop its own organization and programs, and train volunteers," Munster Swarbrick said. "Our investment goes beyond recreation. It will help strengthen First Nation communities across Ontario.'. This contribution is in addition to the $26.300 the ministry provided for the Ontario team which participated suc- cessfully last month at the North American Indigenous Games, bringing 16 medals home from Saskatchewan. "Our government is working hard to create jobs, reduce the deficit and strengthen Ontario's economy," Minister Swarbrick added. '"The chioces we make will have a long range effect. We have to be sure that the tax dollars we spend are investments that help meet the greatest needs, in ways that bring the greatest benefits. This is why we feel it is important to support the Ontario Aborigional Recreation Council." The All Ontario Chiefs Conference took place at the Ketegaurseebee First Nation Reserve (Ojibways of Garden River). Tax Revolt by Louis Hwvath Taxpayers everywhere, wake up and unite, let's get to work and join the fight. Our way of life is being ripped off and cheated and if we don't fight now, we will be defeated. Lavish mayor, councillors and trustees on education are living in luxury and giving us inflation. They raise their salaries, travel like kings and our hard- earned money is taking wings. Without authority and accountable law, we are expected to allow them to live like shahs. The legislation, the ministry gave them carte blanche. ....................................... . Queen's Park Report From Elinor Caplan M.P.P. Oriole The spring sitting of the Ontario Legislature will be memorable, but the memories will not be fond ones. In April, the government's Speech from thr Throne hinted at the pain that was to be inflicted by the budget that follow- ed a month later. However, there was little warining of the confusion and chaos that for months has surrounded the government's attempts to achieve a so-called contract with public sector employees. Bob Rae's May 19th budget extracted a staggering $2 billion from taxpayers with a series of tax hikes and fee increases. The three percentage point increase in per- sonal income tax represented the largest tax increase in the history of Ontario. Our response was clear. The tax increases would kill jobs further delay any economic recovery. Ontario needed a budget that would bolster investor and consumer con- fidence by holding the line on taxes. The NDP went after our wallets instead of eliminating wasteful spending such as the construction of a $200 million office tower for the Workers' Compensation Board. The assault continued recently witha new car insurance law, that will drive up premiunms by as much as 20 percent, adding between $100 and $200 more to the cost of car insurance. The government has spent most of the session mired in the turmoil of the social contract, which has dragged on for months. Each day brings new revelations about the anxiety and frustration it's creating across the province. We recently revealed a government plan to take 5 per cent of donations to charities in the health care field such as the Red Cross and the Arthritis Association. The ensu- ing headlines and damaging publicity forced the Premiere to scrap the scheme the very next day. After ignoring consistent liberal calls for restraint, Bob Rae's fiscal irresponsibility over the past three years has led to the need for serious action. Unfortunately, the NDP's social contract legislation only defers costs to the future - as much as $3 billion in 1996 and beyond. The sav- ings adneved now are only temporary. With one in 10 people unemployed, Ontario needs jobs and a strategy for economic growth, not more chaos from the Rae government. It needs a plan based on holding the line taxes. reducing the deficit by cutting spending and eliminating waste, easing the regulatory burden an businesses, and restoring the labour relations balance by scrapping the job -killing sections of the NDP tabour law. This is the way to attract investment that creates jobs. Ontario liberals will continue to put forward alter- natives to Premiere Rae's policies bused on these com- mon sense ideas. Like many Ontanans, we hope that he will finally start to listen. No Sikh Hats In RCMP To The Editor: There are four words very dear to me and to the majority of concerned Canadians.

August 18, 1993 Bill Watt's Worlds From Stratford: There used to be a shaving cream called Moll@. Older readers will recall when Frank and Ethel Crummet extolled its advertised felicities in song. In our earlier and earnestiv creative days we composed a parody proclaiming the virtues of a better product, one that was -wait for it - even Moliere. Well. we thought it was funny. We were twelve. It came flooding back as we watched the shaving scene in the Stratford pro- duction of Moliere's "The Imaginary Invalid." Though we've long passed twelve (Passed it' We've lapped it several times'). we still find this play to be as hilarious as when we first experienced it. especially in such an ex- cellent translation as that of Donald Frame. Most French plays, even in excellent translation, however, don't read well and require understanding direction to elicit the vocal and aural nuances so often missed in the translated written word. This Invalid receives it from Albert Millaire. The gentleman knows when to be bawdy. when to be raucous, when to be ex- asperating and how to poke maximum fun at medicine and the law. He also knows how to get the proper per- formances from a more than able cast. Indeed. one is hard pressed to recall any other production of the Imaginary Invalid in which performance and direction are so seamlessly wielded and/or lovingly wedded. William Hutt plays the ti- tle role. Though he has per- formed it many, marry times, he simply seems to become better and better at it with each outing. One could make a case that part of the reason is that Mr. Hutt is no larger young. Though still tall and strap- ping his face has taken on the natural physiognomy of the sunset years. So, instead of seeing a handsome young man in a tour de farce/farce. one sees a handsome ok3er man assuming the role with no apparent effort. Rather like comparing a young James Mason in A Place Of One's Own with the older Henry Fonda in On Golden Pond. This is not to imply that he merely walks through the role. No indeed. Withal] of the accumulated skills and artifice of a lifetime on stage, Mr. Hutt shambles around like a grumply bear, shouts at his ser- vants, is fooled bv his se- cond wife and quite literal- ly becomes an aging fool with imaginary ailments. One dislikes him at the same time as one is holding one's sides with laughter. A remarkable perfor- mance from a remarkable actor abetted by superb direction. Watch for the childish movement of his slippered feet during a musical selec- tion.) Sheila McCarthy is a pro- perly strident foil as his cheeky maidservant and Michelle Fisk is just right as the scheming second wife. Funny as the devil, too. Young Monique Lund and Paul Miller as the Invalid's daughter as her lover are ardent as demanded by youth and most attractive to the eye. Comte kudos as well to Edward Atienza and Stephen Ouimette as the doctor and his sub -mental son. In a performance straight out of Smith and Dale, they mince. mutter amd make f unm . One believes a Smith and Dale accolade is not out of order. Good stuff. As is always the case in Stratford prof a tions, the entire cast performs well and the audience leaves laughing. We were still laughing during the drive back to Toronto. Indulge is now as we pro- claim this the Moherest In- valid of them all. FROM DIS\FY: It seems on1v yesterday that we took our first daughter to see a Disney show at the C. N. E. Grands- tand. Now we look forward By Marsha Boulton AMSTERDAM. ISQ8 — What all-round Canadian athlete achieved Olympic gold and was named Canadian Woman Athlete of the Half -Century in 1949 although she never had a coach'' Fanny Rosenfeld, who was popularly known as "Bobbie." has been described as "the complete athlete." In fact, her biographers suggest that the most efficient way to summarize her career is to say that she was not proficient at swimming. In hocked, baseball. basketball, tennis and track and field. Rosenfeld was a champion. She was born in 1903 in Russia and came to Barrie. Ontario as an infant with her parents. Early on she attracted the attention of the sporting establishment when she beat the reigning Canadian 10t1 - yard champion. Rosa Grosse, at a track meet in Beaverton. Ont. Later. Rosenfeld and Grosse shared the world record for 100 yards at I I seconds flat. In 1922. Rosenfeld entered active competition in Toronto.

By now you'll be aware that Nunsense II starts previews on Aug. 31st with a gala opening scheduled for Sept. 8th at the Bayview Playbouse. Location has always been a bit of a bugbear for the Bayview. There is public transportation virtually to the door but for those who drive. parking has been a problem - Now the Bayview an- nounces free valet parking for all attendees. That's good news and the Bayview management team deserves high praise for it. Margaret Illmarm of the National Ballet opens on team. Rosenfeld brought home a gold and witnesses suggested she was robbed in the 100 -yard dash, which awarded her a silver. Less than a year later, she was stricken with arthritis. Although bed -ridden for eight months and on crutches for a year, in 1931 she was back as the leading home -run hitter in a major softball league. The following winter, she was the outstanding player in Ontario women's hockey. In 1932 she coached the Cana- dian women's track team at the British Empire Games, although arthritis forced her to retire from active sports in 1933. In 1949, she became one of the first inductees to the Canadian Sports Hall of Fame, and a Cana- dian Press poll named her Woman Athlete of the Half-Centurv. Rosenfeld blazed many trails. For over 20 years she wrote a sports column in the Globe and Mail, cov- ering everything from horserac- ing to wrestling with an irreverent humour. When she died in 1969. the newspaper paid tribute to her as "that rarity, a natural athlete." Broadway this Fall in The Red Shoes.

Hall (Vintage Books). It quite properly and in reasonably concise terms describes how computer - driven cartography is revolutionizing the face of science. As we approach the 21st Century, the compass and the globe girdling ships that allowed the globe to be mapped over 500 year are being replaced by the com- puter and the satellite. Modern technologies per- mit new cartographers to chart the precise extent of the hole in the ozone layer, compile an exhaustive (and exhausting) render- ing of the human genome and supposedly plot the coordinates of chaos. We're from Missouri on the last which seems con- tradictory in premise but it remains that mankind can now delve even further into its origins and expecta- tions. As one who must remove his shoes to count over 10, we're quite taken by the dissertation of the mathematical constant pi. Mapping The Next Millen- nium might perhaps have greater appeal for com- puter hackers but it's decidely a most interesting book for everyone. FAST EXIT: The republican form of government is the highest form of government but, because of this, it requires the highest type of human nature, a type nowhere at present existing. That was written by Herbert Spencer who died in 1903. Almost a century later, his words still hold true. Sad... but not surprising.

SEATON 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 8 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 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 River where old millworks, ponds and knvland 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 expenerlce for everyone, is a single, uninterrupted link of more than I,IM)0 aches stretching from GrVM 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. VMCA TUTORING PROGRAM The YMCA summer tutoring program is in two-week ses- sions and has classes running daily from Monday to Thurs- day.

Atrial fibrillation, commonly referred to as AF, which is characterized by an ir- regular, rapid heartbeat, has also affected Mother Theresa and is thought to occur in more than 200.000 Canadians. AF is a leading cause of stroke. In fact, a signifi- cant number of patients with AF will experience a stroke in their lifetime. To educate the public on AF, the month of September has been disignated "AF Awareness Month." The focus of the month will he a free, na- tional 1-800 line (1-80o-461-4565) that the public, especially those 60 plus, will be encouraged to call for information. Well known film and television actor Jan Rubes, an AF patient himself, is national spokesman for the campaign. Jan will be featured in a public service announcement being distributed to television stations nationally for play during AF Awareness Month. "I had no idea that I had AF until I had a medical exam at the start of a film I was working on a few years ago," said Rubes. "I wanted to be part of this AF campaign to let people Wed.

AF Awareness Month is being endorsed by the Thrombosis Interest Group i TIG). a health profes- sional organization com- mitted to education and research in antithrombotic therapy ( prevention of blood clots), and the Na- tional Advisory Council on Aging (NACA), an ad- visory body on seniors and aging. "Complication of AF can be well controlled with pro- per medical treatment, thereby helping to prevent a stroke.- stated Dr. Graham Turpie, internist ant professor of medicine at McMaster University and chairman of the TIG. "The goal of AF Awareness Month is to inform people, especially those over 60, of the nature and conse- quences of AF --so that they may seek appropriate medical attention. A medical exam may ensure detection for those without symptoms." AF is the result of uneven contractions in the upper heart chambers. This ir- regularity of heartbeat in- creases the chance of blood clots forming in the heart. These clots can break free and travel to the brain where they may cause a stroke. This type of stroke occurs when the blood sup- ply to the brain is inter- rupted because of the bloodclots. AF commonly occurs in patients with high blood pressure, although angina, heart attack, thyroid disorders, rheumatic fever and lung disease may also lead to AF. Symptoms of AF may include periodic heart flutters or palpita- tions, chest pain, shortness of breath, dizziness and fatigue. Since the risk of AF increases with age, peo- ple over 60 who believe they may be experiecing these symptoms should see their doctor. However, some people with AF may have no symptoms at all. During the month of September, the public is encouraged to call the free AF Awareness Month Hotline number -1 -800 -461- 4565 --for more information. AF Awareness Month is being funded through an educational grant from Du- Pont Pharma. Page 8 THE '.HEWS' POST Wed.

Central Ontario Pony Club Regional D Rally Members of the Rouge Valley, Leitch t oft, Sun- nybrook Markham, Ajax and Pickering Pony Clubs, drawn from this area, are expected to compete in the Central Ontario Regional D Rally, Aug. 21 and 22, at Killusty Farm near Fenelon Falls. D Rally is always one of the busiest events of the Pony Club season. This is a one -day event for each competitor, but due to the volume of entries clubs from the eastern half of the Central Ontario Region compete on Saturday and those form the western half on Sunday. "Rally" is the Pony Club term for Eventing, an Olympic discipline in which competitors must ride a formal Dressage test. follow with aCresss Country or endurance phase across open country and over fixed obstacles, and finish with a Stadium Jumping competition. Scoring is done on a penal- ty points basis, with all er- rors of corse, refusals, rails down and falls counted as penalties. Penalties are also incurred for taking too much time, or too little. to finish the Crass Country phase. The rider with the fewest penal- ty points wins. In this case there will be separate prizes for the east and west groups - Eventing - or Three -Day Eventing at the upper levels - was first developed in the 19th Century as a competition for cavalry horses and riders and was once called Combined Military Training. The Dressage phase demonstrates the horse's obedience and control, the Cross Country phase simulates a cavalry charge and the Stadium Jumping phase demonstrates the horse's long-range stamina and fitness. Though the military aspects of the competition no longer app- ly, rallies and events are still the ultimate test of both horse and rider. To win at rallies, riders must have first-rate fitness themselves and a wide range of riding skills to handle the different demands of the three phases. The "D" in D Rally refers to the minimum level riders must have passed in the Pony Club testing system to enter. There are actually three "D" levels: D. DI and D2. To get each of them, pony clubbers must pass a written ex- amination in horseman- ship, an oral test of stable management, and a riding test. Each level will com- pete in a different division at D -Rally, with Dressage tests, fence heights in both Stadium Jumping and Cross Country phases, and the time alloyed for Cross Country adjusted to their skill levels. These are the youngest and least ex- perienced children allowed to compete in this type of contest. For many of the D -level riders, this will be their first taste of Cross Country competition. Organisers take care to set them challenges within their limits. with safety first the rule as always. Poay Club is an interna- tional organization to pro- mote riding and horseman- ship skills among young people (up to 21 years old) . The Central Ontario Region comprises 31 dif- ferent branches with a total membership of over 800. The objective of all Pony Club competition is for young people to have fun in horse -related activities. Killusty Farm is on Hyler Line, which runs north off road 36 east of Highway M. Competition is set to start at 9 a.m. each day but may go earlier depending on the final entry count. Social Contract To Save $120 Million A sectoral agreement reached with ad- ministrative staff at On- tario's 23 community col- leges is expected to save Ontario's colleges $120 million over the next three years. Sectoral agreements, an alternative to the Ontario government's "blanket" social contract, allow employees to seek more creative solutions to meeting budget reduction goals set by the provincial government. The two unions represen- ting the academic and sup- port staff did not accept the conditions of the sectoral, or local, agreement offered by the Ontario Council of Regents, the colleges' governing body. "The council negotiating team regrets that all parties were not signatories to the sectoral agreement," wrote council chair Richard Johnston to the college presidents. "We're not sure as yet what the effects will be for the college, but we'll all be working together to make sure our students continue to receive the highest quali- ty education," says Cathy Henderson, president of Centennial College, which serves Scarborough and East York. College members of the Ontario Public Service Employees Union (OPSEU) had until August 10 to negotiate local agreements. After that, the fail-safe provisions of the social contract will come into effect, freezing wages for three years and introducing up to 12 work- ing days per year without pay. travel Getting To Know France French Villages: Apremont-Sur-Allier is a perfectly restored medieval town of 80 in- habitants in the Loire Valley in the French department of Cher. Seem- ingly untouched by modern conveniences, there are no visible electric wines, no telephone poles, no neon signs and all of the street lamps are made from wrought irorl. Eugene Schneider, a metallugical heir, became the owner of the Chateau d'Apremont when he mar- ried Antoinette de Saint- Sauveur at the turn of the century. He restored the Chateau to its former splendor, and bought all of the 37 village houseses and restored them one by one. The restorative work was done in the origional Berry medieval style. Using skilled masons and carpenters, the wooden ex- terior stasircases and balconies were recreated and turrets were added. Eugene died in 1942, however, his widow con- tinued to embellish the town util her death in 1969, at the age if 94 Their son has continued the traction and planted splendid gardens with climbing roses, clematises and delphiniums.

August 18, 1993 THE NEWS POST Page 11 Discover Lemon -Scented Geraniums And Tomatoes When you think about a mid -nineteenth century community in summer does you mind's eye adjust the landscaping and plants as well as the buildings and clothing? We often forget how modern our gardens are. Those New Guinea im- patiens weren't around in the last century. Those delicious tomatoes we cultivate so lovingly in our backyards are quite modern. At Black Creek Pioneer Village, you can step back into gardens that were growing over a hundred years ago. Every flower, herb, vegetable and even the trees are planted and cultivated as they would have in the middle of the last century. You will find special heritage varieties of plants not seen since our grandparents' days. To keep the Village gardens authentic, only those seeds are planted that would have been available from 1860's seed companies, and all plants at the Village are grown from seeds gathered from last season's crops. The Village's head gardener Dennis Pollock points out old-fashioned tomatoes. Some are small and yellow and were grown not to be eaten but to decorate tables. Early Blood Turnip Beet, another old variety, grows larger than an adult's head and is sweeter than today's beets. There are lots of other unusual heritage varieties of vegetables that the gardeners will pick fresh from the garden to let visitors sample. The flowers are blooming everywhere, too. Don't miss the chance to sniff lemon-, cinnamon- and rose -scented geraniums. The fences are draped with hollyhocks and other col- ourful perennials. The gardens are a good place to pick up chemical - free gardening tips. If you wonder why there are balls of paper around Some of the plants, the gardeners will tell you they are using an old trick to fight ear- wigs. They put loose balls of paper around the plants at night. In the morning the bugs crawl inside the paper to escape the daylight. The paper balls are then removed. As you pass the Laskey Emporium on the way to the Harness Shop the fragrance from the herb gardens will stop you in Your tracks. No wonder aromatherapy is so effec- tive. Rosemary, lavender and more mints than most of us have ever heard of give these gardens their unforgettable fragrance. More than 40 different varieties are grower in the culinary herb garden. Us- ed for cooking as well as concocting home remedies. the herbs grown here are all authentic to an 1860's kitchen herb garden. The Doctor's apothecary herb garden contains more than 180 varieties used to make medicines, including the plant used to make digitalis. Spend a summer day at the Village and experience the splendour and bounty of gardens like those that grew more than a hundred years ago. Meals served at the Village's restaruant, the Halfway House, often use produce fresh from the gardens. Visitors can also buy Village produce. Black Creek Pioneer Village is open daily. Sum- mer hours are Monday to Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and weekends and holidays from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Admission is S7 for adults, $4.50 for seniors and $3 for children. Children four years of age and under when accompanied by family are admitted free. The Village is located at Jane St. and Steeles Ave. For more information, call 736-1733. Southern Ontario Tourism Could Opt Out Ontario's fledgling winter tourism industry could suf- fer a serious, and possibly irreparable, setback if Southern Ontario tourism regions opt out of a major S3/4 million snowmobile marketing program cur- rently underway. The negative economic impact and winter job losses in snowbelt communities could be significant accor- ding to the Ontario Federa- tion of Snowmobile Clubs (OFSC 1. The three year plan. originally launched as a Northern Ontario marketing initiative to pro- mote snowmobile tourism and the new Trans Ontario Provincial (TOP) Trail system, has been on offer to Southern Ontario tourism offices since last spring in an attempt to ex- pand the campaign province -wide. To date there have been few takers, and with the participation deadline approaching, full provincial inclusion ap- pears to be in jeopardy. -It only makes sense that all of Ontario be included... states OFSC Marketing Chairman Craig Nicholson, "and our federation has been actively lobbying for, and even insisting on this, but there appears to be too much apathy. indecision, and regional rivalry when it cones to winter tourism in Southern Ontario. There is even some doubt that in- dividual snowbelt businesses are aware of either the opportunity or the downside of not being involved." As a result, private sector operators in Southern On- tario's premier tourism regions could see winter business decline as the comprehensive snowmobile marketing strategy attracts new and existing customers to Nor- thern Ontario. With the current competitive climate and questionable economy. traditional Southern Ontario tourism areas must rely on broader-based year round revenues for sustainable growth - ..Once the winter travel habits and snowmobile focus shift to Northern On- tano as the result of this marketing campaign." comments OFSC Special Assistant Tim West."it will be difficult, if not impossi- ble,for southern operators to recapture their lost market share.'.
