October 13. 1993 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Bob's Notes by Bob Watson :...............:...........................................:�5 Please - A Business Approach Some of our political campaigners do not believe that the next Canadian federal government could cut millions of dollars of Waste eliminating our annual federal deficit. However, the National Citizens' Coalition has published a booklet "Tales From The Tax Trough II" showing a lot of waste in many departmenLs with grants and handouts to many groups. There is no argument in our mind that the right party in power at Ottawa could reduce the national annual deficit to zero without creating a huge unemployment of civil ser- vants. The public service would be reduced but by giving employees early retirement or transfer to other more im- portant positions. Now the answer to a lot of unemployment in our country is a program of loans to small businesses to expand their activities would create jobs and a movement of money to trigger off better times in the market place. Once there is enthusiasm in the market place by both buyers and sellers of goods and services the dreaded recession will be gone and everyone will work and purchase better. Most political people - and top civil servants - seem to be ignorant of how the market place works and this is probably why we don't get the right answers from Ottawa or Queen's Park. Of course. if you are involved in small business you are forced to know- exacth_• what is needed to survive and earn a good living. So our request to electors - please elect those candidates who appear to understand the market place sufficiently to make the right decisions for our economy. Tales From The Tax Trough The National Citizens' Coalition has released its booklet -'Tales From The Tax Tmugh Ii" which the gmupsays will expose "the shocking waste of our federal tax dollars The 'r' page booklet. which features a picture of a pig lounging in a trough of dollar bills on its cover, is filled with page after page of outraveous examples of government squa nden ng. ..I kir hrrriclet shows federal prrliticiart, and %oters hilli(rri_s of dullan. of wasteful government spendi rig that can he cut to help reduce the deficit.' says NCC President David Sotnenille. "The cost of each wasteful handout Is expressed in tax- payer years.'' he says "One 1ne taxpayer year is atx)ut $4.501. which is how much the average taxpayer pays in federal taxes in one %ear. Ser the $15.434 handout for a study of "Eunuchs in Im- penal China" represents three taxpayer years Three average taxpayers saw all of their federal taxes go to fun- ding this one pro)eci Other examples include $41x1,iNll1 to promote the World Hot Air Ball«,n Champiornhips 89 taxpa}er .ears,. $13.4 million over three years to the Canadian labour Congress 2.Y77, taxpayer years - and S3 million to the Saskatchewan Potash Producers .Association 662 taxpayer years I. The booklet also outlines hum taxpayers' money is wasted on the NIPS' gold-plated pension plan and gives specific ex- amples ''When taxpayers see how their hard-earned mune} is squandered on these handouts. the% are going to get very angrn indeed. ' predicts Somerville ''Politicians of all political parties during this election will have to respond to it - The booklet also describes the "spending crisis" faced by the federal government, the size and growth of the debt and tax burden, points out that "the federal government doesn't have an money of its own." and issues a call to arms to Canadian taxpayers to become activists. Somerville says the NCC's first **Tales From The Tax Trough', in 1989 was a huge hit - about 300.011U were distributed.

Scarborough East Florida Health Coverage: 1,ouoking to Help Snow birds Having to pay thousands of dollars for health insurance in the U.S. is worrying to seniors. Some may decide not to go at all on their regular trips u,uth. Making the situation even worse are the uncertain prices and conditions of policies. Policies may contain deductibles and exclusions. Exclusions for existing medical conditions - such as cancer or heart disease - are particularly burden- some The case of the Sudbury man being charged $%.utxi U S., for cardiac surgerN demonstrates the difficulty with arguments over pre-existing conditions. And since these policies are being written for coverage in another county} there is little that the province can do to control the price and conditions. Considering these problems, which affect an increasing number of people. I am working towards possible solutions. I have written to the :Minister of Health and to the Gover- nor of Florida suggesting reciprocal coverage between the two jurisdictions. The Province of Ontario and the State of Florida could cover the costs of health care for each other's citizens. Florida had already been making some moves towards health insurance even before President Clinton's announcement. Although this proposal may seem unlikely• there are in fact reasons why it would benefit each jurisdiction. Florida is highly dependent on tourism for its economy and worries about anything that can damage it as the recent worry, over crime and security shows.

October 13, 1993 Bill Watt's Worlds IN PRINT: There was a time when one's principal sedentary entertainment was the theatre and reading. Most couldn't afford the former but all could enjoy the lat- ter. So, people read and not just newspapers and gazet- tes. They also read books and such magazines as Harpers, Short Stories, Atlantic Monthly, Argosy, the New Yorker ... far too many to list in this con- stricted space and most of them alas, now long gone. The arguable best of them were Smart Set and The Mercury with writings by such authors as Theodore Dreiser, James Joyce. Willa Cather, Eugene O'Neill, Scott Fit- zgerald, Sinclair Lewis, William Faulkner ... all the recognized greats of modern literature as they were perceived to be then and still are. The men most responsi- ble for their high levels of writing and the popular ac- ceptance of them ) the magazines) were the writer editors George Jean Nathan and H.L. Men- cken. The latter's autobiography has now been released after 35 years in a sealed vault as stipulated by the author. Mr. Mencken was an astute man who realized that no matter how- interesting and even. occasionally spicy his memoirs might be, they could have engendered lawsuits during his lifetime and the lifetimes of those who figure in them. Around and About Your Dining &Entertainment Guide My life As Author and Editor (Alfred A. Knopf) is its title. It's not a notably exciting or even interesting one but it might well serve as prime proof that books should not be judged by their covers ... or titles. In its better than 400 pages one will read of most of the celebrities, literary and theatrical, en- countered by Mr. Mencken during his career. With typical teutonic superiority of observation, they are all described as he perceived them to be and if his assessments weren't I CITY OF SCARBOROUGH NOTICE CLASS ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT PROGRESS AVENUE EXTENSION AND PARTIAL INTERCHANGE AT HIGHWAY 401 The City of Scarborough is undertaking a Class Environmental Assessment Study to examine the potential northerly extension of Progress Avenue east of Markham Road to Milner Avenue with a partial interchange at Highway 401.

That's not to imply that My life is a muckraking exer- cise, only that it's refreshing to read of celebrities as they were rather than as they have been glossed over to be by latter day biographers. Scott Fitzgerald isn't portrayed as a tortured genius who turned to drink; simply as a genius who was a drunk. Ditto for Sinclair Lewis. And, we suggest that too much attention is given to Theodore Dreiser's womanizing and not enough to his family background. His brother who, under the anglicized name of Paul Dresser was one of America's foremost composers of popular music (My Gal Sal. Banks of The Wabash and others) is virtually dismissed with a sentence or two. Taken all in all, though. it's a fine rambling biography from a time when it %%w not out of line to say. please excuse this king piece. I didn't have time to write a shorter one. This is reading for one's study or den with a fine brandy and, for those who still indulge, a well -aged meerschaum. ON RECORD: Indulge us please as we recycle the old :Nark Twain Bennet Cerf?) saw about the cowboy who sprang to his horse and galloped off in all directions. It comes to mind after listening to Pictures by Another Life. the launch of which we at- tended a fortnight or so ago. Another Life is a good. tight bard with obvious control over its materials. It's so tight that it can allow itself the privilege of expansion of musical ex- pression and even ex- perimentation. That's good and we hugely enjoy its product. Still. though we wish the band well, there's this nig- gling feeling that it might not make it given the vox pop preference for singleness of sound. As well, one can't help feeling that its strength is as a per- forming group rather than a recording one. On stage one "sees" what's being played as well as hears it. If Another life can be compared to anything, it might be to the early White Rock and Roll bands with their attention to wind in- struments, not just strings and percussion. It's fun to watch but fun to listen to only if one has seen them. Look, this is starting to be too rambling; maybe it's the Mencken influence. Simply give a respectful listen to the band and this new album. You'll enjoy them but you'll have more pleasure seeing them as well. ART SEEN: In his short story Ship To Tarshish, John Buchan wrote that "autumn is the pick of the year in Canada" and how the flaming coun- tryside revived the flagg- ing spirits of the hero. (One has often wondered if Lord Tweedsmuir, who suffered ill health most of his life, was writing about himself.) Autumn is indeed an ideal time and more people should make or take the op- portunity to appreciate it. Problem is, today's society Celebration Of Quilts IV York Heritage Quilters Guild is presenting A Celebration of Quilts IV which takes place at Ed- wards Gardens on Oct. 20, 21. 22 and 23. This show is a major exhibition of quilts made by many of our 450 members, as well as a special display of art quilts from York Heritage's "Cross Canada Quilters Challenge". TV quilters of tomorrow will be represented in the "Young People's Studio" which features quilts made by student groups as well as individual children. The "Teach Me Quilt" made by our members. showcases a medley of quilt making modalities. A Celebration of Quilts IV will also include a Mer- chants Mall offering quilting supplies, and a Members Boutique featur- ing handmade items for sale. You can relax in the Quilters Gourmet Cafe, which offers lunch, snacks and beverages. The major exhibition of quilts made by many of the 400 members of the York Heritage Quilters Guild will be open Wed. & Sat. to a. m. to 5 p.m. and Thurs. & Fri. 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Edwards Gardens is at 1 Lawrence Ave. E. at Leslie St. Oktoberfest Lunch In Square On Fri. Oct . 15 at 12 noon. Backstage Productions will host a special Oktoberfest lunch hour party at Nathan Phillips Square. The pur- pose of the event is to an- nounce a major live pro- duction of the popular European T7V & stage pro- gram "Musikanten Stadi". in Toronto next May. Members of the public seems to fed that pleasure for its own sake is vaguely suspect. Alright then, teh yourself that the car needs a run up and drive to the McMichael Art Gallery in Kleinburg for its fall pro- grams. There's a %t ole host of activities to justify the journey, including an ex- hibition of Painting the Bay i Georgian i by John Hart- man plus an upcoming Autumn Art Sale. There's also the McMichael Restaurant for a full lunch menu and The Pine Cottage Cafe for light luncheons or snacks. And, framing all of this is the glory of Autumn itself, surely another of The Creator's renewed pro- mises to the world. SW IAL NOTES: You have only until Fri- day to attend Rendezvous With Madness at the Queen Street Mental Health Cen- tre's Joseph Workman Auditorium, 1001 Queen St. W.

Dec. 31st, Toronto will again welcome First Night Celebration of The Arts. It's a fine undertaking but volunteers are needed to ensure its continuing suc- cess. In fact, over 700 are needed. If you'd care to involve yourself with First Night '94, call the First Night Hotline at (416) 362-3692. FO()D NOTES: Now that Hotel Magazine has listed Truffles at the Four Seasons Hotel on and media from all wer North America have oeen invited to take part in the luncheon, at which people will see highlights of past shows and meet the show master, Karl Moik, in per- son, along with other representatives of the 300 plus cast of Europe's most popular TV and stage show. Avenue Road as one of the 10 best restaurants in the world, watch for the hoi polloi to start flocking there and inevitably cause a rush on the kitchen with all the possible ramifica- tions that it might bring. It's all very nice for organizations to declare the best of this or that but one selfishly wishes they wouldn't do so with restaurants. Epicures are aware of the better or best ones ,others don't deserve to be. In any case. Truffles isn't the city's best restaurant and The Column has no in- tention of naming which one is. COMMENT: Because of vacation absence this has been writ- ten well in advance of our normal deadline. If all has gone as planned, however. Show Boat is now in preview performances at the new North York Perfor- ming Arts Centre. The official and grand opening is scheduled for this weekend and our review will follow soonest. One wonders, only half tongue in cheek, if Dudley Laws and his motley crew will be upset over the fact that the Gala is white tie, or should be. In fact, will they mount a campaign to ban all white tie gatherings in favour of semi -formal black tie? FAST EXIT: The Column saw a sign the other day, the sort of sign one has seen most of one's life but never really noticed. ("We see but do not observe.") It read Preventive Maintenance. Isn't that an oxymoron? Surely all maintenance is for the pur- pose of Preventing future failure or breakdown. Any action taken after the fact is Repair. Preventive Maintenance as a term makes as much sense as saying one is almost pregnant.

October 1:1, 1993 THE NEWS POST Page 7 Leah Posluns Theatre Opens Its 17th.Season The Leah Posluns Theatre is opening its 17th sea -son with the highly ac- claimed "Brighton Beach Memoirs" by Neil Simon. The production opens Oct. 14 and runs until Nov. 7. First produced on Broad- way in 1983, "Brighton Beach Memoirs" was a tur- ning point in Simon's already prolific career. it signalled a more introspec- tive side to his work and went on to receive tremen- dous accolades and several awards. The 1983 Broad- way production was named best play of the year by the Drama Critics Circle and also garnered the Outer Critics Circle Award in the same year. Inspired by its success on stage, director Gene Saks brought it to the screen in 1996. "Brighton Beach Memoirs" is an autobiographical play about the writer as a teenager growing up in Brooklyn, New York. 1937. Through the eyes of 15 year old Eugene, the audience is introduced to a loving, albeit bickering family, trying to deal with the strain of the Depression. However, gloom never manages to set in for long as the characters display resiliency, a love of family and a great sense of humour. Highlighted is Simon's wry reflections of Eugene's writing aspirations and adolescent fantasies of ma- jor league baseball and girls. One of Simon's warmest and funniest plays, "Brighton Beach" captures the innocence of an era with charming characters and honest moments. The show will be produc- ed and directed by Reva Stern, with lighting design by Allan McMillan and set design by Samantha Bur- son. Ticket prices range from $12.50 - $22 with excellent discounts for students, seniors and groups. Subscription prices range from $50 - $90 for the five play series.

The pot luck picnic in August held at the Graham residence was ap- preciated by all present as they enjoyed the beauty of the Rouge Valley and its wild life. Mrs. Lois McAuley. Family and Consumer Af- fairs Convenor, gave a very interesting talk about "The Lost Art of Letter Writing". Lois gave us the thought that a letter can do much to cheer the person receiving the news. It can be read and reread whereas a telephone call is soon forgotten. Letters should be thought out and organized in a manner in which you wish to highlight the contents. A letter should have a good beginn- ing and a good ending. Good letter writing is an art, one which can be learn- ed. improved and ap- preciated. At the conclu- sion of her talk Lois handed each member an envelope and paper with the challenge that each one write to a friend before the October meeting. Birthday greetings were expressed to Min Bolton who celebrated her 90th birthday in September, belated greetings to Marion Paquette and Johanna Van Ryn who had birthdays in August.
