"Sprucing up your house and yard can add dollars to your eventual sale price." Keep your lawn, hedges and shrubs trimmed and repair any winter damage that may have resulted to the exterior of the house. A fresh coat of paint for your porch, some stain for your deck and the straightening of those frost -shifted patio stones will all make your horse more marketable. If your lot is poorly land- scaped, consider investing some dollars in that area. Kendall suggests. ..Dollars wisely spent on landscaping may see a greater return. The out- side of the horse is the first thing people see.

If you want stunning results. hire a landwape architect.

On the other hand, if that kind of professional help makes your wallet wince, you may be able to get some less expensive counselling from a garden centre or nursery. Before making any kind of investment, however, you may want to consult a REALTOR of the Oshawa & District Real Estate Board. He or she will be familiar with the neighbourhood market and have some insight into what landscaping features appeal most to today's buyer.

Local Taoists Going To Religion Parliament The Fung Loy Kok In- stitute of Taoism has been invited to represent the Taoist faith at the 1993 Parliament of the World's Religions in Chicago, Il- linois, Aug. 28 to Sept. 4th. Held once 100 years ago, the 1893 Parliament was one of the most significant events in the history of world faith relations. More than 600 religious organizations, and many prominent spiritual leaders such as the Dalai Lama and personal emmissanes of Pope John Paul II will convene for this momen- tous occasion. "This invitation is a Brag That You Are Canadian singular honour for our organization. The Parlia- ment builds on a century of interfaith dialogue and responds to a growing con- fidence in the power of spiritual understanding and the desire for wisdom" stated Dr. Eva Wong, Director of Studies for the Fung Loy Kok Institute of Taoism. She is the prin- cipal translator of Taoist texts in the Sacred Literature Trust Program sponsored by UNESCO. She recently returned from a lecture tour in Nepal. In - number of members, and items they have borrowed or used, have increased phenominally. By the end of 1993, almost 70% of all residents of the Town of Pickering will be members of the Library and they will use upwards of one -and -a - half million items: This growing causes enormous budgetary pressures -- especially in these times of severe economic restraint. During the next years im- portant decisions must be made by the library Board if the system is to meet the demand. To help guide our planning, a Board Commit- s ry focused on system plan - rung. The result of its ef- forts is the Pickering Public Library Five Year Plan 1993 - 1998 Discussion Draft. Many hours by both senior staff and other com- mittee members were re- quired to produce this document. But — it is only a draft for discussion. Input and critisism (favourable or rw)t t from as many people as possible is wanted and needed. Individuals of all ages, service chubs, schools and school boards. ratepayer groups, companies, n xvnbers of council and our colleagues working in the town departments are asked to send in their com- ments. Comments must be made in writing and sent to any Pickering library by Sept. 3txh.

August 21. 199:3 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Bob's Notes by Bob Watson Just Being Canadian Our provincial government has set up committees on racism with members from a variety of racial backgrounds but nobody who is a Canadian of a couple of generations in Canada.This waste of money will have no influence on racial feelings between groups of people. Racism will ease as groups meet each other at schools or the workplace. We have just returned from our mother's racial background in the form of a picnic in Beamsville. It was the 73rd annual Etherington Reunion with descendents from the Etherington couple who migrated to Ontario from Yorkshire. England in 1890. There is no effort to preserve the English background and this family gathering has never asked for a cent from the federal or provincial governments. We are Canadians'. When newcomers come to our beautiful land they should receive written information about being Canadian - not en- couraged to get grants from our taxes to keep up their racial background. All of us can live together if we have the right attitude. Which brings us to the federal and provincial deficit budgets. Millions of dollars are still being handed out in multicultural grants, native people's grants and many other grants to assist people who mostly could raise their own money if government had no grants to dish out. We believe that our next federal government should abolish all grants and let Canadians find their own money for their personal projects. Bill C-91 Not Required By NAFTA Says Association - Sj%% the Caaadiaa Drug Manufacturers Association - An eminent international legal scholar has brought for- ward persuasive new evidence indintwg that Canada was under no international treaty obligations to eliminate com- pulsory pharmaceutical patent licensing. when the federal government passed Bill C-91 earlier this year. During the passage of this wildly unpopular legislation. Canada's Minister for International Trade Michael Wilson repeatedly asserted that Canada was compelled by the pro- visions of both the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade 'GATT', and the North American Free Trade Agreement 'NAFTA' ) to pass Bill C-91. Bill C-91 retroactively eliminated compulsory phar- maceutical patent licensing. extending to 20 years the pa- tent monopolies of foreign-owned multinational drug cor- porations. thereby depriving Canadians of early access to affordable generic pharmaceuticals. The legislation is ex- pected to coat Canadian consumers and taxpayers an addi- tional i, billion in higher drug costs over the next twenty years. The new evidence questioning the federal government's contention regarding the impetus for Bill C-91 surfaced at a May 5. 1993 House of Commons legislative committee hear- ing examining Bill C-115, an act to implement the NAFTA. At these hearings, representatives of the Canadian Drug Manufacturers Association 'CDMA*) tabled a legal opi- luon written by Professor Jean -Gabriel Castel. Professor of Internatioal Business Law at Osgoode Hall Law School. In his opinion. Professor Castel asserts that both the NAF- TA and GATT draft document 1'the Dunkel Draft' 1 - upon which the NAFTA intellectual property provisions are based -provide for exceptions enabling Canada to maintain compulsory licensing. He concludes that, contrary to the federal government's claims, Canada was not compelled by Article 1720 (6) of the NAFTA to eliminate compulsory licensing, stating unequivocally: "Bill C-91 appears to have been passed at the request of the U.S., as previous Bill C-22 , 19a7) did not go far enough. It had nothing to do with the two agreements (NAFTA and Gatt 1." In light of the evidence presented by Professor Castel, it is clear that the federal government used the GATT and NAF- TA negotiations as a pretext for legislation solely intended to respond to the demands of foreign-owned multinational drug corporations. Indeed. this situation has increased calls for the federal government to repeal the legislation.

Can Racism Be Eradicated? Now that all their sand -castles have come tumbling down around them, those trapped in the continuum of leftist ideology (Trotskyites, Marxists, Communists, Socialists and pre -pubescent liberals), have found a surrogate for class warfare -racism! By fighting a proxy war in the name of racism, for feminism) they hope to advance their discredited, petulant left wing agenda by disguising it as a fight for racial for gender) equality. They use tools such as legislated pay equity, employment equity, extensive human rights legisla- tion, and state-sponsored multiculturalism in the tragically mistaken belief that government intervention can resolve all of society's inequities. Their goal, however, is still the classless utopia abandoned by those who experienced its in- herent unfairness firsthand. The formulation of public policy to combat racism. discrimination, and differential treatment would do better to target the cause or pre -malignancy rather than attempt to deal ineffectually with symptoms of the cancer once it has spread. The attitudes of our youngest children must become the focus of our efforts to fight feelings of racial hatred or superiority. If must begin with a fundamental attitudinal shift on the part of adults. Canadians, whether mainstream or minority, must not only allow but encourage their children to socialize with others from different backgrounds. A firm commitment to follow this simple pro- cedure would work wonders. Children should be told to br- ing their playmates home and encouraged to go to others' homes. One of the unintended consequences of official multiculturalism is that immigrant communities, in their understandable zeal to preserve their heritage, tend to spend so much time being "ethnic," their children don't have time to truly get to know others from different backgrounds. This is a tragic error because it engenders and nurtures misconceptions and stereotypes. If our children don't live and grow together, how can we ever get beyond superficial relationships' This prescription is dearly not a panacea or the only route to racial harmony but it gets to the root of our problems more honestly. It is neither expensive nor bureaucratic; it does require individual commitment though. It requires that we put aside some of our ethnic syntheses of all that is around us. If discrimination is to be eliminated and racism driven back into the dark depth; of the human mind, we mursst not allow ourselves to be seduced by the soothing slogans of lef- tist ideology. And, we must not allow them to continue their class war in disguise. Truly profound racial harmony and understanding require a clarity of thought translated into focused, reasonable policies unencumbered by huge bureaucracies. Gordon J. Chong D.D.S. Former Toronto Councillor Here and There Exist" Home Sales Stall to July After two months of modest gains, home resales in Canada's 25 major markets fell off the pace in July. Figures released by The Canadian Real Estate Association 1 CREA ) indicate 16.934 homes were sold through the Multi- ple listing Service' last month compared to 18,191 a year ago, representing a decline of 6.9 percent. Despite an encouraging second quarter, cumulative sales- to alesto July 31 were 8.9 percent lower than in the same period of 1992, reflecting disappointment performance from January to March.

Queen's Park Report Anne Swarbrick, M.P-P Scarborough West 1011111 Good news for youth comes in the success of the jobsOn- tario Youth Program which this year will exceed the target of 6,000 positions for young people between 15-24 years of age who are experiencing systemic barriers to employ- ment. The program is in effect in Toronto, Ottawa, Hamilton and Windsor where youth unemployment is at its highest. Scarborough Youth Employment Services, sponsored by the Metropolitan Toronto Y.M.C.A. was allocated 15o posi- tions. JobsOntario Youth is open to all young people, regardless of race; outreach efforts ensure that youth of all races have access to employment opportunities. Partners in the program are employers --including large corporations, major financial institutions and retailers— along with the Ontario Government and community agen- cies delivering the program. In 1992, about four out of ten employers were small businesses of 1-10 employees who could not afford to hire without program assistance. Cor- porate employers contributed over $l million to last year's program by paying all employee wages themselves, paying salaries or bonuses over and above the minimum wage, and/or making charitable donations directly to delivery agencies. Our government recognizes that youth employment is a year-round issue. Despite significant fiscal pressures, we've protected our investment employment programs and services for young people. We've also established an Inter - Ministry Committee to look at youth employment and make recommendations for improved coordination. A report of this committee will be available by February 1994. Employment Equity Act MPP Anne Swarbrick has announced that public hearings on the Ontario government's proposed Employment Equity legislation, Bill 79, begin in Toronto at the Ontario legislature. The Employment Equity Act is designed to remove bar- rios which prevent fair and equitable hiring, promotion and training practices for people in four designated groups- -People of the First Nations, women, racial minority groups and people with disabilities. Repeated studies have demonstrated that members of the four designated groups continue to face persistent employment equity discrimina- tion, regardless of their qualifications or skills_ "We can no longer afford to overlook systemic workplace discrimination in Ontario. Demographically, our popula- tion is changing. Within 10 years, more than 90 percent of new workplace entrants will carne from the four designated groups. We need to maintain our competitive edge in On- tario by fully using the talents, skill and experience of all people seeking work," said Swarbrick. First introduced last year by (itinenship Minister Elaine Ziemba. the legislation received second reading in July. More than 50 employers participated in the last round of consultations, which also included onsite testing with employers and bargaining agents and consultation with community groups. Quebec Favoured Again With Millionaire Immigrants From Alliance for the Preservation of English in Canada. As most readers are aware, there is a clause in the Cana- dian Immigration Act which bestows immigration status on foreigners willing to invest large stuns of money in Canada. Recently a problem has come to light. Moira Farrow, writing in the Vancouver Stun on June 7, 1993, states; "Multi -millionaire investor immigrants prefer to put their money in Quebec because that province's business - immigration program allows more direct control of their money.... but most of the same immagrants prefer to live in Vancouver..." How does this come about? Well, as we all know the Federal government has given Quebec control over its own immigration. Quebec allows an investor to give his money directly to an investment dealer rather than join an invest- ment syndicate, which is required in all other provinces. We have long been aware that Quebec has a lower enterance requirement than the rest of Canada and that a large part of the points needed are aquired through ability to speak French, to have French relatives here, etc. Now we find that under the business -investment program Quebec has a financial benifit because of its special agree- ment with Ottawa. When are the other provinces going to insist that invest- ment money be invested in the province where the im- migrant resides? i Give A Gift That Lasts All Year!

With various government representatives, transpor- tation authorities and jounalists on -board, the train trade a brief trip to Guelph Junction, passing through Kipling. Stneetsville and Milton. This Canadian demonstra- tion is designed to fan iharize members of the government, the transpor- tation sector and the media with this unique high speed train technology. The X 2000's trip along the length of the Quebec - Windsor rail corridor follows an eight-month period in the United States during which the train underwent a series of technical tests conducted by Amtrak. It -a-as also placed into temporary ser- vice between New York Ci- ty and Washington, D.C. The X 2000 performed ex- tremely well during these tests, having received a high degree of passenger acceptance. In particular, the test results showed that, compared to Amtrak's existing Metroliner train, the X 20M is at least twice as quiet, consumes 40% less energy. and travels at speeds up to 40% higher while going around curves. Designed and manufac- tured by ABB, the X 2000 was adopted for use by the Swedish State Railways (SJ) and has been in ser- vice between Stockholm and Goteborg for almost Need Volunteers Respite care volunteers are urgently needed by East York families of children/young adults with mental &, or physical disabilities.

Thanks in large part to three major technological innovations, using existing track, the X 2000 can travel at speeds which significantly exceed those of conventional trains. Its asynchronous electric pro- pulsion system allows for superior acceleration. The train's cars are mounted on radial self -steering trucks which enable it to negotiate curves at up to 40% greater speeds than conventional trains_ And, the X 2000's active car body tilting system serves to neutralize the effects of centrifugal forces when the train is travelling through curves at high speed. thereby maximizing passenger comfort. The X MW can be put into service much more quickly and at a lower cost than comparable trains current- ly operating in Europe and Japan. In fact, the X 2000 eliminates the delays and the capital investments in- volved in the construction of special, dedicated track other high-speed trains need to operate on. Using existing right-of- way. the X 2000 can travel at a much greater average speed than conventional trains, thus significantly reducing travel times. In Sweden, for example. the train completes the 455 km trip between Stockholm and Goteborg in less than 3 hours, compared to the 4.5 hags required by a corn ventioral train. It also demontrated exceptional reliability in Sweden, paricularl} in harsh climatic conditions very similar to those in Canada. Moreover. the X 2000 offers exceptional passenger comfort. Its spacious in- terior, great stability, even in curves. and its variety of on -board services have all been designed with the passenger in mind.

August 25, 1993 Bill Watt's Worlds On Stage: Rainboworld has just opened at the Bathurst Street Theatre. The book is by Salome Bey and Johnathon Hopkins. The former directs and wrote the music and lyrics. The latter is producer with The Young Actors Perfor- mance Troupe, a semi- professional company of good potential. He also shares set design duties. No doubt Rainboworld is well intended but unless or until some production smarts are in place and some self indulgent business trimmed, it presents itself as a confus- ed brew of The Good Titres Are Killing Me, West Side Story and Damon and Pythias all set to songs that (might be good if one could hear them. Briefly -Briefly - Two young girls grow up together in what used to be called, in less politically correct times. a slum. One is Black, the other is White. They are the best of friends as children. they become ernsstranged as adults. they reconcile before the final curtain. Throughout. each battles the powers of wickedness in the world. Though it's been done before, the premises is still a promising one. Regret- tably. a work requires more than premise and promise to be successful. Early in the play, the young Black girl sings What If. a plaintive keen- ing for the way the world could be. Allow us to paraphrase with our sug- gestions for what Rain- boworld could have been. What if the curtain had gone up on time' A 25 minute delay with no ex- plaination is uncons- cionable even on opening night. What if the most cursory of sound checks had been made. thus allowing an in- terested audience to hear all of what's said and sung on stage' What if the nuuung time could be cut by a good 30 minutes? What if the audience could be entertained instead of polemicized? ed, dressed and talked HERITAGE. HI(;HI.IGHTti amazingly like current movie stars What if Rainboworld's thrust was not so sophomoric? What if almost all Blacks weren't depicted as noble and almost all Whites as barnyard beasts? Orientals seem to come down somewhere in the middle. What if there was no character modelled after Moms Mobley? she was a quintessential Aunt Thomasina in life and an embarrassment in memory. What if the claque didn't sound like Arse Hall's posse'. An intelligent au- dience doesn't need harsh whoops to know when a pleasing point has been delivered. What if good intentions could always translate into entertainment? What if all involved with Rainboworld could go back to the drawing board and bring forth something that will truly reflect talent that for now is simply wasted by less than forceful direction and indifferent production values' There is nothing carved in stone that says message plays can't be entertaining. There is. however. an Irv- ing Berlin song wtose title might be accepted by the interested parties.... Better Luck Next Time. In The Clubs: Judging by the paucity of audiences on the evening cf our attendance. Malcolm and Hamilton's Be Dazzled at the Limelight Supper Club must surely be one of our town's best kept secrets. Where is everybody and why aren't they at The Limelight? Where are all the people who rem►errtber Toronto in the Fifties' What a magical time that was' The War was safely over. prosperity had returned and the city was cookin' with clubs and live entertainment. Let's see now. there was The Brass Rail, Bassel's, The Brown Derby. The Silver Rail- the Flamingo Room at the Barclay, the Pyramid Room at the Prince George. the Sport- sman's Lounge at the AroundandAbout Your Dining &Entertainment Guide Edison, Le Coq D'Or, the Saint Charlie (before it went leather), Town Tavern, The Colonial, Club One Two.... The list is far from com- plete - only some of the downtown clubs have been noted - but by now you should have some idea of how many there were. Then there were the enter- tainers who worked the cir- cuit. Jack Duffy and the Town Criers, Tish Goode, Joe King and the Zaniacs, Bill Butler, Freddy Grant, Allan McLeod, Frank ( Husky) Palmer, Marvin and Leigh, Wally Wicker and ever so many more. it's tempting to think that Malton and Hamilton might have been among them but, in truth, we can't really recall. it doesn't matter. though. What mat- ters is that they're here now and presenting the kind of show that used to be a part of the club scene. It has some glitz but it's not glitzy. The entertainers are talented but not lofty. The atmosphere is friendly and, for many, familiar. You won't Be Dazzled but you will be entertained. Malcolm and Hamilton bead up the show with two- man comedy routines well honed by experience and with just a nudge of naughtiness where necessary. (in bemoaning growing old. "If it weren't for the pickpockets. I'd have no sex life at all! " ) Vocals are handled nicely by Sam(?) Kelso nad the ebullient Joni Wilson. The latter has a stage presence much mindful of the young XArtha Raye. And yes, there's a mini chores line of gorgeous ladies in costuming far more abbreviated than any seen in the Fifties. We'a name them but there was no program and we missed their names at the closing applause. There is one difference between Be Dazzled and the sort of club shows of earlier years. Be Dazzled is not a continuous. It's a revue show with a set cur- tain time. The limelight is a supper club for this engagement. You can catch the show only but the Column recommends full dinner and show. The Limelight keeps a good kit- chen. Be Dazzled will bring back youth to many and for those who are still young used it'll show the way the enter- tainment scene ed to be. Maybe it'll help bring it back.

Sept. 6 while you watch the winning ticket being drawn for The On- tario Historical Society's lucky draw. Join us at 2 p.m. on the verandah of the John McKenzie House at 34 Parkview Ave. in Willowdale, to find out who will take the beautiful double -queen size, hand made quilt home with them. The pale blue and white piece of artwork is valued at $1000. The predominant pattern in the textile is the Running Feather Quilting Design, and it was donated by Ruth Keene. formerly an Ontario resident, now living in Victoria, British Columbia. The OHS has sold 1000 tickets for the draw to sup- porters across the pro- vince. The raffle is just one of the many fundraising in- itiatives the society has undertaken to raise money for the restoration of the John McKenzie House. The three-storey brick stucture, built in 1913, com- bines Queen Anne Revival details with an Arts and Crafts Foursquare form. In 1992, the house and out- buildings were designated under The Ontario Heritage Act for their aistorical and architec- tural features. For further information, tall ( 416) 226-9011.

He had been hired by to live among the native people, and to encourage them to collect furs to trade with the French. In the early 17th century, the beaver pelt trade created a heated rivalry among the French. English and Dutch. While the English and Dutch tried to attract native people to their trading posts, the French lived among them, learning their languages and customs, and con- verting them to Christianity. Samuel de Champlain, who had established the first up- river trading post on the Saint Lawrence, sent Nicollet to Allumette Island, a strategic out- post on the Ottawa River.

He had been hired by to live among the native people, and to encourage them to collect furs to trade with the French. In the early 17th century, the beaver pelt trade created a heated rivalry among the French. English and Dutch. While the English and Dutch tried to attract native people to their trading posts, the French lived among them, learning their languages and customs, and con- verting them to Christianity. Samuel de Champlain, who had established the first up- river trading post on the Saint Lawrence, sent Nicollet to Allumette Island, a strategic out- post on the Ottawa River. His assignment was to create friendly relations with the Algonkian, an allegiance the French needed to counteract the Dutch influence with the Iroquois to the south. For Nicollet it meant entering a strange and harsh new life. He accompanied the Algonkin on canoeing, hunting and trap- ping expeditions; learning their language and cus- toms in the process.

This refund is available through the Land Transfer Tax Refund Program for Ontario Home Ownership Savings Plan planholders. You may be eligible if you meet the following condi- tions: You or your spouse opened a OHOSP proir to registering your Deed; you or your spouse received an OHOSP tax credit in either of the past two years or you meet the income re- quirements to qualify for an OHOSP tax credit in the year you buy your home (your net income is less than $40,000 if you are single or less than $60,000 if you are married) ; your name is on the title Ideed to the home; you lived in the home for at least 30 days: and your home cost $2W.000 or less ( the amount of your refund depends on the price you pay for your home). The LTT Refund Program makes it easier for first- time buyers to invest in a home. Although some homebuyers have been in- vesting in OHOSPs for a number of years, you may still qualify for an OHOSP tax credit even if you open a plan in the same year that you purchase your home. The flexibility of the pro- gram also allows you to get a refund if you buy a home jointly with one or more in- dividuals. If more than one name is on the title/deed to the home, each of you may qualify for a partial LTT refund, provided that you each have an OHOSP. The refund will be based on your share of ownership in the home. This can include couples who bought their home before marriage. common-law couples and family relationships such as parent-child or brother - Foster Parents Plan Adopts Global Name One of Canada's most respected and established human development organizations is changing its name to Plan Inte na- tioaa! Canada as of Aug. lst, 1993, as part of a global recognition program. National Director Paula McTavish explains, "In the developing countries where we work, the organization is known as Plan Interna- tional. In addition, more and more of the issues we face in our work are becoming global in nature - AIM. the environment. the role of women, as ex- amples. We believe that the time has now cane when internal changes. ex- ternal awareness and the power of international solidarity have combined to make the value of a global identity outweigh history. ..

Cast effective programs fall into the areas of health, educa- tion, cornmtunity develop- ment. eco on uc develop- ment and social services. Mrs. McTavish says, "Tine new name also more accurately reflects the changing role of the organization. When we began, during the Spanish Civil War in Europe, our role was to foster relation ships between war orphans and sponsors in Emgland and to provide direct finan- cial assistance. Today. we are in the forefront of in- novative and efffective work with the people living in the developing world. We continue to build part- nershps between children in developing countries and people in the industrialized world. The fronds raised go into community-based pro- jects that benefit all of the children and families living in the area." Over 600,000 children, families and commti nities currently participate in Plan International's pro- grams. Over 100.000 are sponsored by Canadians. In 1992 Canadians demonstrated their support of PLA.1i's mix of sponsor- ship and development by donating over St0 million sister.

August 2s, 1"3 Canadian Open Golf Tournament Here is good news for spectators seeking parking at the Canadian Open Golf Tournament, Sept. 6-12 at the Glen Abbey Golf Course, on Dorval Dr. in Oakville. Glen Abbey United Church, a relatively new congregation in the com- munity, is turning its prime piece of real estate into a parking lot for the week long event. Situated at Up- per Middle Road and Not- tingham Gate, the site is the only undeveloped pro- perty within walking distance of the spectator entrance to the course. Parking is at a premium for tens of thousands of golf enthusiasts who crowd into the Glen Abbey community for the six days of the an- nual pro -am tournament, practice rounds and the 72 hole championship. During the tournament this vear the church's five acre site will accommodate approximately 500 cars daily. It is expected that when a few necessary ex- penses are paid, the enter- prise will yield more than $10,000 for the chxnrch's building fund. Good stewardship sometimes means seizing an oppor- tunity for good business as well as public service. Within days of the tourna- ment ending. a contractor will move onto the site to begin the construction of the sanctuary and other facilities of Glen Abbey United Church. The Glen Abbey com- munity retains elements of a long relationship with Christian churches. The golf course was once the site of a Roman Catholic monastery. Street names such as Monastery Dr. and Pilgram's Way recall this connection. The logo of the golf course pictures a monk enthusiastically swinging a golf club. E.

Laurie Graham of Halifax, Nova Scotia will be honoured for her excep- tional ski racing sucess. During her career, she won more World Cup Downhill races (5) than any other Canadian woman, and became only the third Canadian to have sucess in more than one discipline. Laurie was the first North American woman to win a World Cup Super G race. Glenn Hall, Known to hockey fans as "Mr. Goalie", has earned his place in Canada's Sports Hall of Fame with his great goaltending talent. Playing with Detnot, Chicago and St. Louis. Hall established an iron man record of 502 consecutive games played, racked up a career total of 64 shutouts, and finished his career with a goal against average of 2.51. This was accomplished for the most part with teams that could not be con- sidered defensively oriented. Cindy N-wholas of Scar- borough, ..the Queen of the Channel ". is recognized for her accomplishments as one of the most celebrated marathon swimmers in Canadian history. As a 16 year old, she broke Marilyn Bell's record for crossing Lake Ontario by nearly six hours. She added record single crossings of the English Channel, and on one day in Chibougamau, Quebec, won 10, 5 and 1-1 2 mile swims. The rest period between events was only two hours. Ron Taylor demonstrated his talent early in his career in major league tion this year: Jenny Bytzek of Tynedale dressage and showjump- ing), and the Robinson sisters, Heather and Vicki. of Durham (Prince Philip Cup Games and showjump- ing. Pony Club is an interna- tional organization to pro- mote riding and horesman- ship skills among young people ( up to 21 years old) It has been established in Canada since 1934 and counts many of Canada's international riders among its alumni. The Central Ontario Region comprises 31 dif- ferent Branches with a total membership of over 800. Showjumping is the most familiar Pony Club activity to most spectators, but Pony Club also offers competiton in dressage, mounted games, rallies (including dressage, cross - county jumping and cross- country running by the riders) as well as "academic" competition in quiz format. Above all, the objective of all Pony Club competition is for young people to have fun in horse - related activities. gram is a terrific way to show these dedicated coaches just how valuable they truly are to us. baseball by pitching effec- tively for the Cleveland In- dians despite missing spr- ing training and the first month of the seson each year to finish his Engineer- ing degree. Once graduated, his primary focus became baseball, and he helped two teams, St. Louis and the "Amazin" 1969 New York Mets to World Series Champion- ships. Taylor has a perfect post season ERA of 0.00. In the Builder category, George Mara is recognized for his contribution to the Olympic movement in Canada. After an amateur hockey career which in- cluded a Gold Metal at the 1948 Olympic Games, Mara began a sucessful business career. In 1974, he was ap- proached to head the fund raising program for the Canadian Olympic Association and he became the founding Chairman of the Olympic Trust of Canada. His sucess in this task has left a legacy of $50 million for the training and equipping of Canada's Olympic and Pan American athlete's. Robert Secord earned his place in Canada'a Sports Hall of Fame for a life long dedication to the recrea- tional and athletic needs of Canadians. His creative thinking led to the forma- tion and development of the Games concept in Canada for bothable bodied and disabled athletes, for seniors, and for the Special Olympics. His recreational planning made it possible for small and large communities in Ontario, and ultimately across Canada to establish programs that saw Cana- dians become a nation in- volved in fitness and recreational activities. Mr. Secord's induction will be posthumous. He passed away on Apr. 28, 1983, six weeks after learning of his election to Canada's Sports Hall of Fame. The addition of the 1993 In- ductees brings the total number of Honoured Members of the Hall of Fame to 377. Snowmobilers Tackle Soaring Insurance Rates Insurance industry sources ranked snowmobile fraud falsified or inflated claims for supposedly stolen. lost, burned. sunken or other- wise destroyed sleds -as another primary reason for sowing insurance costs. "We have been informed that some insurance corn - parties are anticipating as high as a 50% increase for snowmobile insurance premiums next winter," said insurance industry spokesman Jim Dewar. ..Individual snowmobilers are going to have to take more responsibility for thier sleds : insurance com- panies cannot continue to provide a universal net to cover outright negligence or stupidity... As awareness of the pro- blems grow, several snowmobile businesses have taken up the challenge by introducing portable sled locks that snowmobilers can use while trailering overnight or stopping for lunch by the trail. Many popular snowmobile resorts offer well -lit, secure compounds for overnight storage, and many touring snowax6ders carry locks and chairs with them to fasten together multiple machines. "If proper measures and a preventative education program are put in place today, the OFSC may be able to convice the in- surance industry that snowmobi ers are not such a high rist group after all." said OFSC special assis- tant, Tim West. The meeting finished with a very positive agreement that a partnership was needed to explore possible solutions, and that this im- portant work will continue under the auspices of the newly formed Ontario Snowmobile Insurance Risk Management Com- mittee, composed of representatives from each organization. The OFSC is condfident that Ontario snowmobilers will respond positively by joining this joint initiative to ensure the continued success of snownnobiling as both a recreation and an economic activity. Family Business Course Family business Manage- ment is the toughest management challenge there is. Research shows that about 75% of all family businesses do not make it into the second generation. There is much to be learn- ed of the 25% who have made it. The rewards of the well managed succes- sion transition are well worth the time spent in the planning. Succession is not an event, but a process which recognizes the necessary transitions in ownership, management and the fami- ly. This course is designed as a workshop to get family members talking and ex- amining new ideas, perspectives and in- terdependencies which will allow them to develop the unique processes necessary for the healthy continuity of thier family business. This is the third time that this course has been given by the Faculty of Manage- ment and brings together an outstanding resource team from the Faculty and family business profes- sionals. The course runs for twelve weeks, one night a week starting on Wed. Sept. 15th. It costs 11695.00. For more information phone the course co- ordinator, David Gallagher, at 481-28M or for a brochure phone Mona Bandeen at 918-3831. travel __ ) Awaken Your Senses .At Cypress Gardens From fluttering but- terflies and as abundance of fragrant flowers to the daring stunts of water- skiers and acrobats, Cypress Gardens will awaken your sesnses with the finest in quality family entertainment, blooming botanical displays, fascinating museums and other first-rate attractions.

They believe the Vikings brought these mus- sels back to Scandinavia from one of their North American voyages meaning the Vikings in fact discovered North America long before Columbus lay foot on these shores.

Argonaut Executive Director of Advertising and Promotions, Bret Gallagher, says that the team's connection with libraries is not a new one. "We've visited libraries before," he says.

Growth in the area has been dramatic, averaging 130 baptisms a month. Baptisms in the Toronto Mission last year exceeded the total baptisms in the surrounding five Mormon missions. A major reason is the in- flux of immigrants. By the end of May this year. the mission had baptized peo- ple from 79 couantries. Many of them are not given immigration right and return to their homelands. where they spread the word about their new church, President Potter pouted out. To keep up with the growth, the church has launched an ambitious building program. New Mormon meeting houses have recently been com- pleted in Lindsay and Coburg, and a major addi- tion in Orillia. A 25,000 -foot building is under constru- cion in Brampton, and similar or larger buildings are in the planning stage for Don Mills and Kit- chener. A 16,000 -foot office building is being remodel- ed into a church meeting house in Black Creek, and negotiations are virtually complete for a lease to house temporarily two con- gregations that are now crowded with two others in the first Mormon meeting house built in Toronto, on Ossington Ave. Jan Shipps, a Methodist and professor of history and religious studies at In- diana University, points to the Mormon sense of com- munity and stability which, she says, are particularly appealing to people in the crowded and ethnically diverse cities of the U.S. and Canada. Others em- phasize Mormon family values, work ethic, and return to basic Christiani- ty. Besides, says President Potter, it's fitting that the church prosper in this part of Canada. The church was organized just across take Ontario in New York's Finger Lakes country, he points out, and among its first missionaries were This summer, in addition to its stops at museums and festivals throughout Southern Ontario, the Museumobile will be visiting malls where Cineplex Odeon Cinemas are screening the film "Jurassic Park", and at The Delta Chelsea Inn to downtown Toronto.
