Effective
Parenting
Tuesdays
As a parent you are on
the firing line every day,
confronted by enough pro-
blems to confound a
Solomon. And yet, if you
are like most parents, you
have little or no prepara-
tion for the job. Only for the
job of parenting is there the
unspoken expectation that
love, instinct and common
sense will be enough.
And sometimes it is.
More often, however, the
most well-intentioned
parents find themselves
frustrated, angry.
bewildered, guilty and
alone. like members of
any other professional
group you and your fellow
parents need the opportuni-
ty to get together to share
your common problems
and receive continuing
training in the skills needed
to do your job better.
The Family Education
Resource Centre of
Durham House is offering
this discussion group for
parents which will focus on
understanding children's
behaviour and learning
positive and practical skills
for redirecting
misbehaviour and en-
couraging children.
The group will meet at
St. Catherine of Siena
School. 1s Bennett Ave. in
Ajax on Tuesday evenings
from 6:45 - 8:45 p.m for 8
weeks starting Oct. 19. The
cost is $48 per person. plus
a text book fee of $17.60.
Pre -registration is re-
quired.

tre at 686-6459 or 579-2021.

The bylaw followed the
criteria set down by the

!Bob's Notes by Bob Watson
Racism
by Bob Watson
For those of us Canadians who have had the opportunity
to see a large part of the world with all of the different
groups of human beings there is one piece of information in
our memories. Racism exists in all of the world and Metro
Toronto's racial attitude is not one of the big ones.
We wish that people like Dudley Laws would stop stirring
up the population to believe that great racism exists in our
society.
Back in the 1930's most of the City of Toronto politicians
seemed to be Northern Irish Orangemen. But time has
erased this biased power group so that today Toronto's
members of council represent a variety of racial
backgrounds.
Today racism and bias in the workplace has been
stimulated by the Ontario government passing laws to dic-
tate to businesses that they must hire so many women, a
certain number of "black'' people, as well as handicapped
people. This has resulted in a hiring bias against "white
males" resulting in the biggest "racism" in the province.
In our society the term "black people" has been put into
place in a supposed attempt to remove the bias against
humans whose racial background include a darker skin
than those who have European ancestry. The unfortunate
fact here is that there are third, fourth and sixth generation
Canadians whose skin colorer is black and they are lumped
in with Jamaicans who have recently arrived in our coun-
try. People with "black" skin is not a proper description
because there are many backgrounds which are quite dif-
ferent.
Every time the Ontano government establishes a "racist
committee" to investigate the problems of bias towards
some people it is interesting to note that the committee is
composed of inrnigrants from many ports of the world but
never a solid white Canadian mak. Is this not racism bias'.
Let's give up wasting money trying to sort out racism and
institute a good attitude to everybody as well as restricting
immigration to people who will be an asset to otw country's
economy.
Keeping Costs Down
Dear Sir Madam.
Keeping costs down has become a mayor objective of
health policy and medicare has been put at unnecessary
risk. The Canadian Nurses Association, representing over
100.000 registered nurses. strongly believes that this elec-
tion is key to the future of our health care system.
Nurses will be playing a crucial role in this election. One
in 70 voters is a registered nurse, and their involvement will
have a tremendous impact on this election.
Nursing's vision of health care is well defined. Canada
can no longer support an expensive, sickness-anented
health care system. Canada needs to increase emphasis on
health promotion and disease prevention activities. Public
participation is esential in planning and implementing ser-
vices. As an access point to health care. nurses can provide
quality affordable health care.
Over the course of the next seven weeks, we will be pro-
viding you with fact sheets on health care in Canada. The
first edition, included today, examines the challenges fac-
ing Canada's health care system. Taxpayers, consumers,
health care providers and governments are all struggling
with how to maintain the system and keep it affordable. The
articles included in this package explore the view that con-
sumers need more and better education to make informed
choices abeout health care.
We urge you to use these fact sheets to help your readers
understand the important issues of this election. Please feel
free to reproduce them exactly as is, or use the material to
build vour own health care series. Please clal our election
hotline at 1-800-361-8404 if we can be of any assistance.

They Are Special
Dear Sir Madam.
MPs, Senators. senior bureaucrats and high ranking
military and security officials all have privileged access to
a special clinic in Ottawa where they receive prompt ser-
vice for everything from check-ups to surgery.
The politicians who have access to this privileged care
are the same ones who boast hypocritically about Canada's
wonderful. one -tier universal medicare system.
Most Canadians would face long waiting lists if they were
to require heart bypass, hip replacement or cataract
surgery.
The situation is chillingly similar to the system in the old
Soviet Union. where a special political elite known as the
nomer"tura was treated at special hospitals which had
antibiotics and the latest in medical technology.
If nothing else, the existence of the privileged care for an
Ottawa elite - Canada's own nomenklatura - shatters the
myth that this country has a one tier, universal health care
system.
Canadians should demand that this special clinic be
scrapped.
If the federal political and bureaucratic elite were to suf-
fer for months in pain, waiting for surgery like the rest of
us, perhaps our medicare system would be reformed a little
more quickly.
Yours truly.

How To Improve Your Image
Dear Scarborites:
With the Shaw Festival and the Toronto media against us,
what can we do about that bad, bad image? Here is a solu-
tion to improve your image: just dissolve the city of Scar-
borough! That's right, change your name by joining the city
of Toronto.
Scarborough does lack high class night life and eateries.
We have miles of waterfront but no beaches; a marina that
is almost inaccessible. Over half a million people but no in-
ter city bus depot; three movie theatres; six indoor skating
rinks; four hotels.
We have no "downtown" area, not even a "main street".
Danforth Avenue and Kingston Road were not meant to be
used to go from A -to -B, but for parallel parking only. We
have no north -south corridor, except Markham Road,
which becomes a highway after it leaves the city. Many of
those points would not change by joining Toronto, until our
new owners saw the need for improvement, which is evi-
dent now. But we would be known as Toronto the Good - not
by that other name.
Or we could join North York. Although the name "Scar-
borough" has a more celestial ring to it than the name
"North York". North is only a compass direction, and York
is the name of our county, used by several other places. We
would have Melts Bells, and that arts castle of Showboat
fame. And North York does have a "downtown", and a
main street with stores on both sides.
A compromise (the Canadian Way) would be to use that
Super Highway as a natural boundary. The part of Scar-
borough north of Hwy 401 would join North York, and the
southern half would join Toronto. Mel would gain the zoo
and the Rouge River, and June would gain more waterfront
and the bluffs for Crombie's walk -on -water promenade
(perhaps "Cronenade"? ). Then Toronto could proceed
with the eastward run of the Gardiner Expressway.
anything would be better than hanging in mid air 40 feet
above the Lakeshore Road as it is now.
There would be marry advantages. Since most of us work
in the city of Toronto, our taxes would stay in the city where
they are earned. It would also reduce the number of city
councillors and mayors; sorry, Joyce. cut-0aCkS,
downsizing...
But best of all -note this, councillors and Bob Rae -with one
stroke of the pen we would eliminate that brash bunch of
trustees who form the Scarborough Board of Education!
They caused embarrassment to you and to themselves, and
irrational anger to many residents. There seethed no legal
wav to get rid of them. Now, pool! - and the problem is
solved! Ingenious solution.
I think it is a marvellous idea. Comments are welcome
from Toronto, North York, and yes, from Scarborough also.
Sincerely.
Jack Coughlin

O.R.G. Opposes Farm Bills
42 & 91 At Queen's Park
Ontariam for Responsibk Government I O. R.G. I is stepp-
ing up its campaign to oppose farm bills 42 and 91, currently
being proposed by NDP Premier Bob Rae.
If these bills are passed," says O.R.G. Director Than
Corbett, ''it would diminish the freedom of Ontario farmers
and undermine their competitiveness." Corbett says Bill 42
would essentially force farmers to join farm lobby groups
while Bill 91 would see farm workers unionized.
To combat the proposed laws. O.R.G. plans to take its
case directly to the rural ndings of MPPs who support the
bills. "We intend to use billboards, banners and more
media ads in those ridings to remind the fanning com-
munities which MPPs want to trample their democratic
rights. We are also going to urge them to work to defeat the
bills."
Corbett says one of the groups first targets will be MPP
Paul Klapp (Huron - NDP I , who sat on the Standing Com-
mittee on Resources Development which studied Bill 42.
O.R.G.'s latest attack on the farm bills supplements an
earlier effort which saw the pro -free market group place
newspaper ads denouncing Bills 42 and 91 in the farm
papers.
Those ads were sharply critical of the Ontario Federation
of Agriculture, which O.R.G. says is cooperating with the
NDP's plans to unionize the family farm with Bill 91.
"The OFA took exception to our comments," says Cor-
bett, "but the fact is they could rake in as much as $5 - $9
million in new membership dues if Bill 42 is passed. To us
that smacks of a cynical pay-off from Premier Bob Rae."
In an effort to bring its message to the farming community,
O.R.G. announced its new campaign at the recent Interna-
tional Plowing Match.

1PN STAGE ONE:
George Burns has
remarked that the secret of
a long and happy life is to
fall in love with one's work.
How easy that would be for
reviewers and critics if all
S
were as joyous as
Five Guys Named Moe now
in residence at the Royal
Alexandra.
Nominally it's a book
show but the hook that
holds it together is so flim-
sy that the show could be,
and quite properly,
described as a review. A
man is despondent over a
failed love life and his per-
sonal problems that led up
to it. Five Guys Named
Moe appear and straighten
out his life by singing and
performing songs written
and performed by the late
Louis Jordan and The Tym-
pany Five. The man and
the group were a seminal
influence on the direction
that North American
;popular music would take
in the second half of the
twentieth century.
That's almost all by the
bye though. What's impor-
tant is the music itself and
its presentation by the
great cast.
The show never lags, it's
in virtually constant mo-
tion and the enthusiasm of
the performers spills over,
literally, to the audience.
Can you imagine a normal-
ly staid Royal Alexandra
audience dancing in a con-
ga line with the cast
through the theatre and on
stage? We rest our case.

ENCORE:
Members of the cast of
:Five Guys Named Moe are
scheduled, as this is being
written, to appear a week
this Friday at First Cana-
dian Place.
At noon they'll be at the
Waterfall Stage and will
present excerpts from the
show. This is a free presen-
tation and well worth one's
custom if already
downtown and, we suggest,
worth a special journey
even if not.
ON STAGE TWO:
Death and The Maiden
by Ariel Dorfman sounds
like the title of a
melodrama that might
have been presented by
Belasco at the turn of the
century. It's not.
This Canadian Stage
Company presentation of
the Chilean pLaywngW's
worm is quite one of the
most compelling evenings
of theatre one is ever likely
to experience. And, it's
counterpointed by
Schubert's Death and The
Maiden.
The theme -revenge and
redemption -isn't new. In-
deed. it's almost a staple of
drama but this Death and
The Maiden is more than a
considerable cut above
others of its genre.
Briefly stated. it's set in
a supposedly undisclosed
country where, late of an
evening. a woman waits in
their beach house for the
ret urn of her husband. He
is highly placed in the new
democratic government
that has replaced the old
one of tyranny and terror.
His vehicle has broken
down and he is given a life
home by a friendly and
cultured stranger who is in-
vited to spend the night.
She believes she recognizes
him as the man who tor-
t ured her some 15 years
earlier when she was a
political prisoner because
of her love for the man who
has become her husband.
She subdues him and
with the dubious unwill-
ingness of her husband sub-
jects him to a night and day
of interrogation for the sup-
posed simple purpose of
having him admit guilt and
freeing her from the
demons that have possess-
ed her for a decade and a
half.
We will not disclose
more. Is the stranger the
man she believes him to
be? If so, does he possess
even a shred of remorse?
And, if the remorse is
stated, is it genuine or
simply a transparent at-
tempt to escape from a
woman possessed? Each
viewer must make his or
her own determination.
Fiona Reid is the woman,
R. H. Thomason is her hus-
band and Ray Jewers, the
stranger. All three are ex-
cellent actors and manage
to rise above Jonas
Jurasas' computer driven
direction of Dorfman's
brittle dialogue. To be fair,
the dialogue might be miss-
ing something in a possible
translation in which case
the case direction can be
forgiven for approaching a
Nick and Nora slickness at
times.
Fiona Reid is all quiet
power as the woman on the
threshold of her salvation.
She flirts with hysteria but
always pulls back in time.

Canada is rich in natural resources, especially energy. A
thriving resource sector is important to building a strong
and prosperous nation. At the same time, we must manage
our resources in a responsible way and ensure their use has
a minimal impact on the environment.
Industry Development
We restored sanity to energy policy and are making
Canada a better place to do business.
We put an end to the Liberals' disastrous National
'Energy
ThWestern Accord got rid of well -head taxes and
regulation of oil and gas prices.
The resource sector benefits from the GST because there
Is no longr any sales tax applied directly or indirectly to in-
vestment casts.
Petro -Canada is being privatized. 19.5 per cent of its
shares were sold in July 1991, raising $520 million for the
company. After a second share issue in December 1991, 30
per cent of the company is in private hands.
We cut and streamlined National Energy Board rules. We
also moved the head office to Calgary - the centre of
Canada's petroleum industry.
New Opportunities
The Free Trade Agreement with the U.S. opened tip new
opportunites for the energy sector. The North American
Free Trade Agreement ( NAFTA) will improve oppor-
tunities for Canadian trade and investment in Mexican
markets for energy goods and services.
Research and Investment
We made changes to encourage foreign investment and
allow Canadian firms to improve their competitiveness in
global markets.
In the December 1992 Economic Statement. we announc-
ed changes to encourage investment by helping small oil
and gas companies raise money.
We improved tax incentives far research and develop-
ment.

Investing in our energy hrture means skilled jobs, exper-
tise, and development of energy frontiers.
We worked with Husky, Alberta and Saskatchewan to
develop the Husky Oil Upgrader in Lloyd<nimster. Our
share of the $1.63 billion project is 31.7%.
We will fund 35 per cent of the NewGrade heavy ail

of up to $1.66 billion. We also have an 8.5% stake in the pro-
ject ( net coo of $290 million) .
We contributed $45.5 million to complete an engineering
study of the OSLO oilsands project in Northern Alberta.
The Environment and Energy
We must manage our resources in a responsible way and
ensue their use has a minimum effect on the environment.
We passed the Energy Efficiency Act, allowing us to set
minimum energy efficiency standards for equipment.
The Energy Efficiency Act also sets rales for energy coo-
surnptim labelling.
Under the Green Plan, we are encouraging a more
energy-efficient building industry.
The Canadian Energy Management and Environmental
Training Program helps the industry increase energy effi-
ciency and reduce its impact on the environment.
We set out a plan to improve the performance of new
transportation fuels and make them more available.
$12 million will boost ethanol output, help research, and
expand development projects for this new fuel.
We removed the excise tax on ethanol and methanol in
Wended fuels.

qualify for this champion-
ship.
Dressage is a system for
training horse and rider
that has its roots in ancient
Greece. All work is done on
the flat. The rider learns
proper use of the natural
aids - hands, legs, and seat
- to guide and control the
horse. The horse learns
balance, straightness,
rhythm, impulsion (where
forward movement is
driven by the hind
quarters), extension
(lengthening of steps) and
collection (shortening of
steps). Dressage builds
flexibility and gymnastic
ability in both horse and
rider.
Early levels emphasize
walk, trot, and canter on a
straight line and in circles
as the horse learns to carry
his weight and that of his
rider with safety and
elegance. Horses also learn
to halt on command with
the four feet placed square-
ly, and remaining im-
mobtle for four seconds.
In Dressage competi-
tions, each horse rider
combination performs a set
test before a judge. In ad-
ditioin to marking on how
accurately the horse and
rider performed the test.
the judge will give marks
on the paces of the horse,
the obedience of the horse,
and the position and seat of
the rider.
Marking is tough - 50% is
a good score in dressage,
with scores above 70%
rarely seen even in the
Olympics. Success in
Dressage requires prac-
tice, discipline and sound
training, as well -as talent.
Most Pony Clubbers
compete in several aspects
of the sport -show jumping,
cross country and even
mounted games as well as
dressage. Dressage is a
competitive form of the flat
work that lays the founda-
tion for all the rest, and
high level competitors in
all equestrian sports know
its importance. In the show
jumping world, for exam-
ple. Ian Millar is known for
the balance and gymnastic
ability of his horses. Big
Ben in particular turns
amazingly well for such a large
horse. and Millar
credits practice at the
same tasks these Pony
Clubbers will be asked to
do for helping to hone Big
Ben's natural talent.
Leitchcroft is south off
Highway 7 just west of
Leslie Street in Thornhill.
Competition is scheduled to
start at 8 a.m. and spec-
tators are welcome without
charge.

Friends In Florida
Some 2.5 million Cana-

further cause for concern

Yet, for many, the sun-

an attractive vacation

especially so for Canada's
swelling "Snowbird"

half of Florida's Canadian
visitors are aged 50 years

that, as a population seg-
ment, they are probably
more vulnerable to felonies

assault and mugging, to

other scams or rip-offs.
