September 8. 199:3 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Bob's Notes by Bob Watson .............................................................. .About Scarborough It is very unfortuante that the daily newspaper ad by the Shaw Festival last week termed Scarborough as a city with lots of crime because the police stations do not support this contention. Scarborough has had an increase in crime in re- cent years but it had the least crime of any part of Metro Toronto. In fact• there are less police officers in Scar- borough because of the less need for them. However. Scarborough doesn't seem to know how to pro- mote itself in the world around it. The citv has manv positive aspects but seems unable to promote this image to other communities. A little bit of leadership in this area would be very positive. Scarborough has the beautiful Scarborough Bluffs and access to Lake Ontario. Most of the Rouge Valley is in the city and the Metro Zoo is a great asset Tight nearby. Does anyone know that Scarborough has six I cournt them) golf courses inside its boundaries' The Scarborough Civic Cen- tre is one of the best designed civic buildings in the world as well, Scarborough's greatest problem is that it doesn't seem to know how to promote itself adequately. Some of us have tried, over the years to correct this problem but with zero or little cooperation from the proper authorities. This is a pro- blem but some of us have answers - if we could get the night people to listen. C11HC Five Percent Dow'npayment Plan Ex- tended Prime Minister Kim Campbell has announced a five-year extension to the First Home Loan Insurance I FHLI I pro- gram, which permits homebuyers to purchase their fust house with a downpayment as low as five percent. A recent survey of Canadians who bought a home with less than ten percent down showed that almost 76.000 households would not have been able to purchase their home when they did without the FHLI program. MPs Pension Plan Dear Sir !Madam. All of a sudden, the leaders of the three major parties are scrambling madly to Shaw who is the biggest and the best reformer of the gold-plated 'MIPs' pension plan, Recently. Prime Minister Kim Campbell announced that she will change the plan so that MPs would have to wait un- til age 55 before they can collect benefits. At present there is no age requirement. She also pledged to end the obnoxious practice of "double dipping", which allows MPs to collect pension payments even if they have another government job. Not to be outdone, opposition leaders Jean Cretien of the Liberals and Audrey McLaughlin of the NDP stated that they not only support such reforms but want Parliament recalled beofre an election to implement them. Before Canadians rush to congratulate these polititians, however. they should realize that the pension changes pro- posed by them are a very modest first step indeed in pen- sion reform. None of these leaders has proposed amending what is the most outrageous feature of the pension pian, namely that MPs' pensions have unlimited protection against inflation. It's this blank cheque inflation protection feature which makes the pension plan so lavish. It places retired MPs into an elite category. Who in the private sector could afford such an inflation proof plan? Despite what the polititians say, any proposed pension reform which fails to scrap the unlimited protection against inflation feature is little more that posturing. In the coming election, voters should demand that can- didates pledge to reform the MPs "cash for life" pension plan. When we voters see that they're serious about putting their own affairs in order• we can have more confidence that they will do the same for our country's affairs.

Sergeant Mee - RCMP Queen's Park Report Anne Swarbrick, M.P.P. Scarborough West Ontano Culture, Tourism and Recreation ',Minister Anne Sw•arbrick has announced a new W-4 million Recreation Assistance Program for Small Communities, as well as an additional $6 million in provincW funding for a revised Community Recreation Development Program. "This funding will respond to those communities with the greatest need for assistance," said the Minister. '.We recognize the social and economic benefits that recreation contributes to Ontario," she said, " and our government re- mains committed to working with our partners to build a strong recreation system across the province." The Recreation Assistance Program for Small Com- munities (also known as Regulation 791) replaces the ministry's previous recreation funding program, known as Regulation 517. The program will focus on small municipalities wil a population of under 2,000, abor•igional communities, local service boards and unorganized com- munities in Ontario. The Community Recreation Development Program will continue to assist in developing new and enhanced recrea- tion activities for all Ontarians, especially those who have traditionally faced barriers to participation and involve- ment. Special emphasis will be placed on porjects address- ing the recreation needs of aborigional people, fran- cophones, people with diabilities, racial minorities and women. The Minister noted that funding for recreation projcts is now available from the jobsOntario Community Action pro- gram. Announced in the spring budget, jobsOntario Com- munity Action is a three-year, $300 million dollar program, designed to assist communities with their economic and development initiatives. Comments By Lyn McLeod Ontario Liberal Leader Building Creation For Job Creation Is Liberal Priority As I travel across Ontario listening to the concerns of peo- ple, one priority stands above all others. We have to build a climate that will attract investment that leads to job crea- tion. We have to make this province work again. At a conference I sponsored June 9th and 5th, a large group of community and business leaders, and educators, gathered to discuss solutions to the economic challenges facing all of our communities. Ontario's economy is undergoing tremendous change. Businesses are trying to cope with shifting markets, new competitors and changing technologies. People want a government that knows how to make change work for us, rather than against us. They want a government that can provide hope for the future. The biggest barrier to the growth of small and medium- sized businesses - responsible for 80 per cent of the job crea- tion in Ontario - is the lack of financing. Government can help by designing incentives that encourage investment in local businesses and community projects that create jobs and economic growth. Tax policies should be re -shaped to encourage the creation of new investment vehicles such as registered community investment funds and local economic development bonds - pools of money for oval businesses and community economic development pro- jects. If our communities are to become the launching pad for economnic growth innovation must be the fuel. Once again, Cumicing is crucial. Idea -based enterprises, such as high- technology and computer companies are often hampered in their attempts to secure loans because they lack the tradi- tional form of equity - plants and equipment. Ideas and in- novations need to be recognized for what they are - concrete assets. Once again, government can help through tax credits or special provisions that favour long-term invest- ment in innovation. Government should also encourage our post -secondary in- stitutions to develop a closer relationship with the private sector. Our universities and colleges can play a greater role in commercializing their research and develaprnent and in providing businesses with specially trained employees. Ontario's future depends more that anything else on how well our schools are teaching and hove well our students are learning. There are growing concerns that our education standards are not high enough. We have to involve the peo- ple who know children best - their parents. They crust have the opportunity to play a meaningful role in our schools, working with teachers and with boards of education. We must develop models that allow them greater participation models that will ensure standards are met. In all of these areas, our foes is on government and peo- pie working together. If we are going to manage change, we will have to do it together- and government must lead the way, not block its path. the solutions to our challenge are to he found among the people of Ontario. The Liberal opposi- tion believes in giving them a chance to work. Says 0 M B Violates The Right Of Democracy To the Hon.

P.C. Fax For 42 Division With $12,000 From Community One of the main ideas of Community Based Policing is establishing lines of com- munication between the community and its Police Services. When we think of com- munication in this way the tendency is to look at it on the basis of getting to know each other and to have that personal contact within the different groups. There is another aspect to communication which is established on the practical side of the definition. Namely: can we contact you quickly. effectively and efficiently. As some of you are aware an effective program is already in place known as Computer Dialers for Scarborough - P.C. Cops 42 Division. This system was established to link 42 D-nv1- sion with residences and businesses through an automated phone dialer system to send out record- ed messages on community alerts and (rime Preven- tion matters. The system has been working extreme- ly well, and to date over 300,000 calls have been received by the members. Unfortunately the pro- gram fell short within the business community. One of the main problems was reaching a business through a busy phone line and then tying it up with a recorded message. To try and allevite this problem several ideas were considered. The com- puter and communication industries were consulted along with 42 Division's Computer Coordinator P.C. Gerhard Miethig. With Gerhard's expertise he wrote aimogram and P.C. Fax was created. The next step in the pro- cess was establishing what we needed to fulfill the technical aspect of P.C. Fax and it was decided that by purchasing the best equipment available there was less likelihood of future problems. Funding was a major consideration, of course, Rand the tj, -1 en Cbmmittee for 42 Division represented by Bob Kawano and the 42 Division Chinese Com- munity liaison Committee represented by Joe Tseng. 42 Division represented by Staff Inspector Bert Bocongelle, Inspector Er- nie Beale and P.C. Kirk Anderson got together. In the fall of 1991 the fun- ding committee started a fund raising drive and started to circulate ap- plications for the program throughout the 42 Division business community. The committee worked tirelessly towards the goal of $12,000. Several com- munity groups and organizations joined forces with 42 Division to seek the support of the business community. Metro Councillor Scott Cavalier became involved through his association with 42 Division and in turn he sought the support of Jan Wescott of Brewers of Ontario who made a major contribution to the cam- paign. The equipment and soft- ware were purchased and delivered to 42 Division substation and the phone lines were installed_ As a result on July 1. 19M. the P.C. Fax program was ready to go and is now on line and available to send messages. To date over 60 businesses are registered in the database and the number is growing daily. Paul Reesor of Scar- borough Public Utilities has kindly volunteered to include the application form in the utilities mon- thly billing to over 15,000 Honda Car For Children's Charity What do 5,000 kids, a Hon- da car, the Toronto Blue Jays, Ontario's Ministry of Community and Social Ser- vices and Variety -The Children's Charity all have in common? Dreams. For the kids its dreaming of a chance to visit Toronto's SkyDome and see their beloved Jays in action and for the others its the chance to make that dream come true. For 12 years now the Toronto Blue Jays have denoted 6-10,000 tickets for disadvantaged children province wide recruited by the Ministry, and McDonalds provides free ball park dogs and refreshments. The annual event occurs the second home game of every season at the SkyDome. Variety's role is to provide transpor- tation for the children selected. The price of pro- viding transportation for five thousand children from as far north as Thunder Bay was taking its toll on Variety as prices escalated in the '90s. This is where Honda enters the picture. Honda, hearing of this annual event wanted to help. The car company decided to donate a 1994 Honda Ac- cord LX to Variety -The Children's Charity and, Variety's members would sell ticket as a fund-raiser. Each $10 ticket sold sends a disadvantaged child to a Jays Game. Variety's President Bruce Raymond remarks of Hon- da's involvement, "It is heart warming that during these very tough economic times we can rely on the generosity of corporations like Honda to find new and innovative ways of helping children and charities such as ours." So the marriage of the Charity, The Ministry, the Company and The Baseball team continues and so do the dreams of 5,000 children_ Tickets for the 1994 Honda Accord LX ( and 25 second prizes of seats to a '94 Jays game) can be purchased at your local Honda dealership, at Variety -The Children's Charity (367-2828) or look for the car at your local mall or community event. For $10 you can make a dream come true! The draw takes place Sat. Sept. 25th at the SkyDome.

September 8, 1993 Bill Watt's Worlds In The Clubs: The Column's catholicity of tastes in music is reasonably well documented and we are frequently asked if or how much we enjoy Country music. It's far from being our favourite but in the main, we like it. The primacy of music is beat and Country has it in abundance. As well. there's a certain basic or hottest quality about it that manages to transcend even the glitz packaging of to- day. a packaging that makes the old Bob Wills, Spade Cooley. Don Messer and other presentations seem to have been almost spartan. (Any one there remember Don Hildebrand's western shows out of Wingham in the early days of Canadian T.V.? So, there we were recently. at The Saloon to see and hear Terilyn Ryan in her Toronto premiere. Now. this is no rawboned American Gothic farm girl. Miss Riley is a zaftig pastry with so much energy that one wonders wttence her delicious cur- vature. Oh yes. she sings too: with a full bodied voice that belts lyrics over with power if not necessarily passion. The passion might well be there but the caver- naic depiths of The Calmn militated against any notable appreciation of same. It'd be easy to suggest that Miss Riley could well be the next big C. & W. star. It'd be even easier to sug- gest she's simply another club singer which isn't bad either.

At Fresco: This Friday. the Mirvi are having a party -a street party -to celebrate the unveiling of Frank Stellar's outdoor mural on the Pearl Street side of the Princess of Wales Theatre. Pearl Street will be closed off from 5 p.m. to 6:30 for the invitation only party which will have on hand the artist himself as well as cast members of Miss Saigon currently playing at the POW. The mural mtearsures 141 feet aide by 52 feet high. It has taken over 3 months, over 220 gallons of paint and a crew of a dozen ar- tists to execute. It pro - muses to be }yet another landmark through the courtesy of the familiv that has done so much for this city. It will be there for all to we 24 hours a day. all year 'round.

They will converge, dance and leave the site without the traditional bows and curtseys. Instead they'll merge back into the street to enter taxies, streetcars and the subway. It sounds like much fun but our puckish sense of humour prompts us to wonder what visiting tourists will make of it all. "Hey Ma! Look at those businessmen dancin' away there.

The leading folk art show in North America features the best, top quality folk ar- tisans from across Canada and the USA.

Each and everyone of the artisans have been juried and hand -selected or their outstanding workmanship and integrity of creative- sign. Back in the colonial days most everything was hand- made and so history seems to be repeating itself and once again there is a surge of interest in handmade items and historical reproductions.

How. Regrettably, he's probably best remembered - if remembered at all -as the man who remarked ..What's a million?" when referring to some long forgotten budget con- siderations. Mr. Howe knew full well the meaning of a million but in today s world where the word is bandied about with seeming indiscrimina- tion, few realize its magnitude. The Column refers others to One Million by Hendrik Hertzberg (Times Books - Appropriate!) It's an amusing soft cover in which the author illustrates on a series of dotted pages what a million actually means. There are sup- posedly one million dots in the book but who's likely to count them? What one will do is be fascinated by some of the throwaway facts. If space permits we'll list a few of them later. The best part of the book, however, is the introduc- tion titles Five Thousand Words About One Million Dots. In an erudite but far from stodgy manner the author briefly states the more or less history of mathematics, how the term million came to be and what it means, not numerically but as a measure of humankind's insignificance. Now, on to a few facts. Some 7 percent of all the people who have ever lived are alive right now. An average sugar bowl con- tains about 400,000 grains d sugar. A sheep's coat can contain as many as 126,000,000 wool fibres. The beach at Coney Island is said to be made up of a hun- dred billion billion grains of sand. On page 62 it is recorded that the length of the longest ever dance marathon (Aug. 29th to Apr, 1st 1931) was 306,908 minutes. What isn't recorded is the name of the man who established that record. It was Fanoo LoBianco. He's known better today as Frankie Laine. Fast Exit: Scarborough is in a bit of a snit over a supposed insult by the Shaw Festival.

SEATON HIDING 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 lowland woods have been used to highlight the natural historic features of the area. The hiking trail was created in cooperation with the Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority and developed with high school and university students under Ontario's summer works program. The trail, a living laboratory that provides a natural science experience for everyone. is a syagle, 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. YOL'TII BOWLING The Plaza Bowl Youth Bowling hehd on Saturday mornings for ages 5 to 19, will begin on Sept. 11th.

Think Well About Politics Come early. The early bird gets the best deals! Wed. September 8, 1993 THE NEWS! POST Page 7 with Rene Soetens, M.P. In recent years, too many dangerous repeat offenders -too many times -have gone on to rind new victims while on parole or after their sentences were up. Canadians have made it clear that they are fed up with the release of known high-risk criminals who are almost sure to repeat their crimes. They want the government to have the power to keep these violent criminals locked up as long as they pose a threat to society. That is why we've unveiled draft legislation that would keep high-risk offenders in prison indefinitely, even after their sentences are up. Our proposals would: Let a Crown attorney -on the recom- mendation of the National Parole Board -go to court near the end of a repeat offender's sentence to ask that he or she be declared a dangerous offender. This could mean an open-ended or indefinite sentence. The court could also impose intense community supervision for up to 10 years. Currently, the Crown must apply at the original sentenc- ing time to have someone declared a dangerous offender. Let us deny release to child molesters. We could keep an offender behind bars by making it clear more sexual of- fences against children are likely-. and Automatically return offenders who are out on condi- tional release to custody and a new sentence -meaning they would have to serve more time. We want to encourage public input and consultation so we tabled this as a draft law. This is part of our response to the jury recommendations of the Stephenson Inquest. Christopher Stephenson wu raped and murdered in 1988 by a repeat sex offender out on mandatory supervision. We've also taken steps to create a National Coordinator for Sex Offenders position in the Federal Correctional Ser- vice and expand sex offender treatment programa.

Milk chocolate, dark choco- late, bittersweet chocolate ... chocoholics of the world unite! That elusive dream of indulg- ing in all the chocolate you want - without the fattening calories and astrl meal den- tal bills - could soon become a reality. Sound too good to be true? With a new, natural sweetener called lactitol, great tasting sugar -free chocolate is now a distinct possibility. Lactitol is the latest ingre- dient to take off as a result of the growing consumer demand for healthy products that taste good. Derived from lactose, it has been used for years throughout the world in tasty treats such as baked goods, toffee, marup.,::, chewy and hard boiled can- dies. Now government -ap- proved for use in Canada. lactitol can be used to sweeten chocolate, resulting in melt -in -your -mouth treats that are good for you, too. The benefits of substitut- ing lactitol for refined sugar are great. A versatile sweet- ener made from milk sugar, lactitol has similar sweeten- ing characteristics to sucrose, commonly used in candies and chocolate. However, its properties not only make it safe for teeth, they allow real calorie reductions. Lac- titol has a caloric value of 2.6 kcals per gram as com- pared to 4 kcals per gram in sugar, and it can he substi- tuted for sugar directly in a .la I manufacturing ":pi: without affecting the characteristics of the choco- late. Because it is metabo- lined by the body independ- ently of insulin, it is also safe for non-insulin depend- ent diabetics. "We believe that the intro- duction of lactitol will result in nothing short of a revolu- tion in the chocolate manu- facturing industry," says Kenneth Sandstrom, Direc- tor of Marketing for Xyrofin Inc., the manufacturers of lactitol. A call to arms for chornlate- lovers ... for tooth friendly, sugar -free and reduced calorie chocolate. Because being happy *is a very Important part u<y�ur diet!

Wed. September 8, IM THE NEWS!POST Page 9 Terry Fox Run Coming Sept. 19th. Every fall for the past twelve years Canadians have participated in an an- nual event to com- memorate a home grown hero. This event has become a Canadian tradi- tion - The Terry Fox Run. In October 1979 Terry Fox wrote, "Somewhere the hurting must stop ... and I am determined to take myself to the limit for this cause." To date The Terry Fox Run has raised over $100 million for innovative cancer research. In 1992, 15000 citizens of Ontario raised $3.4 million - a record tally in a devastating economic climate. Sun. Sept, 19th marks the date for the 13th Annual Terry Fox Run. Par- ticipants can run, walk, rollerblade, bike, or stroll any of the 1-10 kilometre courses set up at 500 Run sites around the province. Pledge sheets are available at LCBO, Scotiabank, K -Mart, Cadet and Sket- chley Cleaners, Subway Sandwiches, and Baskin- Robbins outlets across On- tario. Those who are unable to physically par- ticipate can be involved by sponsoring a participant or simply sending in a dona- tion. Loyd Robertson, CTV an- chor and host of the 1980 Telethon, is still inspired by Terry's example, "Terry Fox carried the torch for the giving side of humanity...his spirit and his example challenge every man, woman and child to try harded, de- mand less and give more.," Celebrate Autumn With Garden Mums The Civic Garden Centre, 777 Lawrence Ave. E.

Cur rently, Nicky is light - middleweight (165 lbs.) and will be boxing Danna Allison of Rochester, New York.

There's only a couple of guys in Ontario that could get in the ring with him and they are up in Thunder Bay. Nicky will probably box Jason Stewartson from Thunder Bay for the In- termediate Championship," says Hadaway. Kingsley Hadaway also coaches Carl Ben)'amin. Carl is a 23 year old, 16o lbs., originally from Jamaica, who will be box- ing in his first bout in Canada on Sept. 12. "Carl is very tall, and very tough.

This event is particularly interesting for our Ontario riders as they must ride a horse that is owned by a western Pony Clubber and is. therefore, unfamiliar to them. The running phase also takes place over a 2 kilometre cross country course. Shorter times are rewarded with a greater number of points. In swim- ming, competitors earn points in relation to the number of metres they swim in a specified time period. Air pistols shot at 10 metres allow competitors to gain points relative to the position of the target that is hit. Ribbons are awarded in each event and, in addition, the points are totalled across events to determine overall stan- dings. Tyler Reeve, 15, of Pickering placed 4th in riding and 8th in running. Christian Skillen, 14, of West Hill placed 3rd in swimming, 7th in shooting, and 6th place overall. Tessa Villeneuve, 15, of West Hill placed 5th in riding, 6th in swimming and 5th as a member of the Central Ontario girls' team.

Late in the afternoon, Anna would steal into her room with a few close friends to indulge in a practice that would take the entire British Empire by storm. They had afternoon tea. At Black Creek Pioneer Village, you can continue the tradition begun by the Countess and enjoy the delights of an authentic Victorian tea with all the trimmings. More elaborate than the buttered bread and tea snack started by the Countess, afternoon tea at Black Creek domonstrates why Victorians were so quick to make it a part of their everyday lives. Meal times for Victorians changed profoundly in the mid -19th century. The in- vention of gaslights and the demands of an industrial economy made the working daylonger. People could no longer be home for supper at three or four o'clock in the afternoon. Queen Victoria also made it popular to eat later in the evening. Waiting until half past seven or later for the evening meal created a "hunger gap" in the late afternoon. Victorians needed a snack to stave off the "sinking feeling.. the Countess of Bedford felt in the afternoon when dimer was still hours away. Afternoon tea meant dif- ferent things to different In its most social form. it was called "At Home." Invitiations were sent to friends to attend these gatherings of up to 20 people. Receiving her guests throughout the afternoon, the hostess would provide refreshments on small tables in the drawing room or on a buffet in the dining room. The dainty sand- wiches and cakes were served with hot tea, fresh fruit and cream, ices and sometimes champagne. These teas were often occa- sions for musical recitals. Five o'clock teas were mostly a light snack before a lase supper. Drybiscuits, fancy bread and butter sandwiches and sometimes cake and fruit were served at these teas. High tea, an invention of British working classes, was eaten between 6 and 8 p.m., much later than the other teas. In Upper Canada, this tea was first adopted by merchants as well as working class families. Using leftovers from the main mid-day meal, this tea included cold meats and was the final meal of the day. High tea eventually grew into a more elaborate meal, serv- ed to guests staying for an evening. After the first World War, traditional high teas became cocktail parties. Relive the gentle pleasures of a real Vic- torian afternoon tea at Black Creek. To settle your "sinking feeling" there is a selection of dain- ty sandwiches, assorted sweets, homemade scones with real strawberry preserves and fresh cream. Choose your tea from a chest including blends from around the Empire. The Countess of Bedford won't be pouring tea, but relaxing in Black Creek's 1860's setting makes you feel as if she might fiat have left the room. Tea is served at the Half Way House Restaurant every day until 3 p.m. for $6.45 per person. Black Creek Pioneer Village is open daily. Sumpter haus are Monday to Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and weekends and holidays from to a.m. to 6 p.m. Ad- mission is V7 for adults, $4.50 for seniors and $3 for children. Children four years of age and under when accompanied by- family yfamily are admitted free. The Village is located at Jane St. and Steeles Ave. in north-west Toronto.
