were no scientific facts to
substantiate the claims of
cancer. lung disease, heart
disease or fetal disease. He
felt that the local by-law
w•as unfair to citizens and
may well be illegal. And he
added that air pollution is
not caused by cigarette
smoke but by factory emis-
sions, vehicular exhausts,
etc.

North York Council
Believes In Real Equality
With the current anti -white male rule established by our
Ontario government, finally a local government is
attempting to allow "white males" to be equal to everyone
else.
North York Council has made a resolution and has sent
copies of it to other municipalities. The resolution was as
follows:
Whereas the City of North York believes in the principle of
equal access in employment opportunities for all of society:
And whereas the City of North York believes that positive
steps are required to remove artificial barriers that prevent
all members of society from fulfilling their potential:
And whereas the Cit• of North York believes that this will
result in the optimization of human resources throughout
society and that all of its citizens support this tenet:
And whereas the City of North York abhors the divisive
effects of reverse discrimination and adamantly opposes the
adoption of any policy that excludes from emplo}•anent am•
segment of society. by any government, agency or business:
And whereas the City of North York further opposes
"limited eligibility competition" undertaken in the name of
employment equity, when the patent unfairness of these
competitions will make supporting employment equity
unpalatable to the public:
And whereas the citizens of North Vont expect the City of
North York to provide leadership to our greater community
in the espousal of policies and practices which value the
contribution of each and every member of society:
Therefore be it resolved that the Council of the City of North
York reaffirm its support of equality of employment
opportunity as provided under the Human Rights Code.
which policy was adopted by Council on Noy ember 1. 1987:
And be it further resolved that it is the intent of the City of
North York's Employment Equity practice to provide
positive and equal access to all members of society and that
no policy. procedure or practice will be allowed which would
exclude any segment of society from access to employment

Families Need Housing
As the new federal government continues its examination of
social program budgets, thousands of children and families
sit on waiting lists for subsidized housing and survive on
social assistance incomes
In a study recently completed by the Children's Aid Society
of Metropolitan Toronto and the University of Toronto.
researchers have found that almost one in five families with
children in the care of the CAS are living in fear of eviction.
on the streets or in shelters When families like these are
dealing with inadequate housing situations, children are
often in imminent risk of abuse. neglect or abandonment.
"When the lack of adequate housing begins to affect the
most vulnerable in society - our children - everyone in our
community and government must take the issue senousiv."
says Bruce Rivers. executive director of the Children's Aid
Soviet .
The study. "Housing as a Factor in Child Admissions to
Temporary Carealso found that a shortage of housing for
low-income families poses a significant obstacle to the return

the delays were on average two months while the family
searched for housing that was safe, appropriate and

Medical Answers
Thomas Walkom's Column of Dec. 7, 1993 (New Medicine
Cuts are Poor Medicine for Health Care lits) made some
valid points about preventing disease and looking at
preventative medicine, but is completely off the mark about
doctors wanting to delist the "Annual Check-up" in order to
make more money, or the idea that doctors in favour of a
two-tiered medical s4stem! These are certainly not the
objectives of the Family Physicians of Ontario.
The Ontario College of Family Physicians represents over
5,000 Family Physicians in the Province of Ontario. We have
long been interested in preventative medicine. This is a very
important part of our training programs across Ontario.
Family Physicians strongly believe that there has to be,
within the provincial medicare system. regular preventative
medicine assessments where disease prevention, lifestyle
modification, and appropriate screening procedures are
done. Having the Family Physician doing all these
preventative procedures at the appropriate time is better
health/wellness care and more cost effective than splitting
people and their body parts into various speciality screening
clinics with all the infrastructure these clinics need for
support. Family Physicians do not believe in a two-tiered
healthcare system, but rather a health/wellness care system
which is available to all the citizens of Ontario regardless of
their financial status. In the long run, to save money in the
health care system, The Ontario College of Family
Physicians feels that a periodic health assessment must
remain in the OHIP Schedule of Benefits.
The Ontario College of Family Physicians also feels that
"delisting " is a short sighted. kneejerk reaction to a very
serious problem. The solution lies in reforming the current
system and the way it is managed, not merely tinkering
with it here and there. The Ontario College of Family
Physicians is willing to work with the Government, and all
stakeholders to ensure accessible care for all the citizens of
Ontario. Famih• Physicians want to be part of the solution,
not part of the problem.
Yours truly.

Beautiful Teeth for Life
Gum disease is one of the
most scrious dental problcrtm.
Tlrwgh it can affect people of
all ages, gum disease is most
common among those over 40.
Pcrkxkmtal disease is an in-
fection that deuroys the gum
tissuc surrounding your teeth
and jawbonc. Swollen gums,
tenderness in the mouth, bad
breath and sometimes bleeding
after hmshing can be symptoms
of gum disease.
Teaming up with your dentist
and adopting sound dental scif-
care practkxs and hygiene can
ensure that your pearly whites
will gleam forever.
To help prevent gum discasc,
start to form good dental hy-
gicnc habits. Brush and floss
daily. Eat plenty of fruits,
vcgetablcs and vitamin -rich
foods. Avoid sugary and starchy
foods (they attract plaque),
don't smoke and get plenty of
rest and excrcL%C.
Visit your dentist or perio-
dontist rcgularly. Become part
of the hcalthy-teeth-and-guars
tram: you, your dentist and
your dental hygienist or perio-
dontist.
This column is provided by

laboration with the Canadian
Fitncss and I�fcstyle Research
Institute.
Work, University of Toronto, places the study in the context
of other housing issues in Toronto. "Most CAS clients must
rely on the private rental market, yet there are very few
unsubsidized rental units being built for families," says Dr.
Hulchanski "Meanwhile, the federal government has
virtually ceased financing new social housing projects."
The Children's Aid Society of Metropolitan Toronto is
committed to supporting children in their own families
whenever possible, while ensuring the protection of children
at risk of abuse or neglect. A testament to this commitment
is the fact that annually the CAS works with more than 19.000
children: 17,000 of them with their parents at home.
Providing support in finding and keeping affordable housing
becomes part of the social worker's role in preventing
admissions in mann cases. The CASMT has a long history of
advocating for legislative and program solutions to the
housing problems faced by the families with whom we work.
According to Mr. Rivers, "Housing remains a root cause of
in the admission of children into care. The emotional and
economic costs are great. The Children's Aid Society will
continue to promote housing solutions at the local, provincial
and even national level which are aimed at preventing
needless family breakdown "
$1.9 Billion For Training
&Skills For UI Clients
Human Resources Development Minister Lloyd Axwor-
thy has announced the 1994 Unemployment Insurance
Developmental Uses Plan of $1.9 billion. This plan covers
federal programs which help hundreds of thousands of
Unemployment Insurance (UI) claimants acquire new
skills and upgrade old ones so they can get back to work.
The 1994 level of $1.9 billion represents an increase of ap-
proximately six per cent, or $100 million, over the projected
expenditure level for this year.
"My government is committed to training and skills
development which enable unemployed Canadians to re-
enter the workforce." said Minister Axworthy. "We cannot
afford to waste Canada's human resources. By providing
active support for job creation, training and skills develop-
ment, we are helping them to become re-employed and con-
tributors to the economy."
The 1994 plan is an important part of the federal govern-
ment's commitment to developing labour market programs
that meet the demands of the 1990s and beyond. It will pro-
vide assistance to about 398,000 UI clients in a variety of
ways:
Income Support and training programs and courses
which help them acquire new skills or upgrade existing
ones :
Self-Emnployment Assistance to help them start their
own businesses:
Job Creation which helps unemployed workers maintain
and enhance their skills through projects which offer on-
the-job experience:
Work sharing which helps avoid company lay-offs during
periods of temporary economic downturns: and
Mobility Assistance which offers relocation help to
search for work or secure permanent employment.
The government's derision to allocate $1.9 billion is con-
sistent with actual developmental uses expenditures over
the two previous years and with the projected level of ex-
penditures for 1943.
The funding levels are arrived at through a series of
discussions with the Canadian Labour Force Developmerx
Board i CL.FDB ). a private sector advisory body made up of
representatives from business, labour, the education train-
ing sector and social action groups. The CL.FDB recom-
mended a budget of $2.2 billion for 1994.
However, in light of the fact that there was an under -
utilization of some $400 million in the 1993 budget, the
government believes the $1.9 billion level to be a reasonable
allocation.
The federal government understands the importance of
these funds to each of the provinces and territories as well
as to the training institutions who help train and retrain
unemployed Canadians. For that reason, they will be in-
volved in an open and consultative process to develop op-
tions for re -tooling our social programs to matte there more
appilicable to the '9us.
"We look forward to consulting the board, as well as pro-
vinces. territories and other stakeholders on a number of
issues in the review of Canada's social programs," said
Minister Axworthy. '"Ile government will count on their
expertise to help us transform federal government
assistance programs to become incentive -driven launching
pads to help Canadians reach their potential...
Developmental Uses programs are just part of a major
strategy for helping unemployed Canadians get back into
the tabour market. A further $1.3 billion will be spent to help
approximately 400,000 unemployed Canadians who are not
eligible for Ul benefits. These fronds come from the Con-
solidated Revenue Fund.
Signs Of Recovery
The commieraW real estate marketplace in Metro Toron-
to is slowly changing focus and reflecting signs of ecommic
recovery, reports Christopher Fiidabock• Senior Vice Presi-
dent of J.J.Barnicke limited Oncor International.
We're definitely seeing signs of recovery. Occupancy of
office building space in the Metro area has increased by 1.7
million sq. ft. since the start of 1993, with vacancy dropping
to 23.1%," said Mr. Ridabock from his Toronto brockerage
office that specializes in commercial real estate, sales and
leasing. Record low interest rates and growth in the de-
mand for higher quality office and industrial space are con-
tributing factors to this positive turnaround.
"The largest gains were in the North Yonge corridor,
Mississauga, the 404 corridor, Scarborough and the Airport
marketplaces. The total volume of competitive lease tran-
sactions for office space over 5,000 square feet was approx-
imately 4.2 million square feet. Availability of office space
has decreased 1.5% and is expected to continue decreasing.
However, corporate downsizing will no doubt continue
through 1994, with companies such as IBM and Ontario
Hydro dramatically adding excess office space into the
marketplace, which will postpone the construction of any
new buildings."

Scarborough Man Visits
Personal Relief Project
For more than two years
now Brian Fraser has
quietly participated in his
own vision of foreign aid.
Through child sponsorship
he has contributed to the
well-being of a village in El
Salvador. Recently Brian
visited the project and
learned first-hand about
the hope and the hardships
that typify developing
countries.
The idea of Brian visiting
the community he has sup-
ported is gratifying for
World Vision. the aid agen-
cy that helped arrange the
visit. President Don Scott
says, ..We are excited to
show sponsors that their
support provides com-
munities with the tools they
need to help themselves.
They don't want welfare.
They just want a chance to
do the job themselves. This
is a valuable lesson for
visitors to learn.
..The ti^:si.., ..,.,., „C,1,
sponsors understand now
Child Sponsorship works,"
says Scott. "It doesn't just
help one child, we have
found the best way to help a
child is to help their com-
munity become self-
reliant. When we improve
water quality or
agricultural methods, the
child. family and village all
benefit. '
Each year dozens of peo-
ple like Brian Fraser leave
the beaten tourist path to
visit their World Vision
sponsored child. Sponsors
cover all costs for the vist
and arrangements must be
made with World Vision
well in advance of the trip.
But for those willing to take
the effort it is always well
worth it.
As Don Scott says, "We
want people like Brian to
bring back valuable ex-
periences, not just tourist
trinkets. "

contacted for assistance.
Inspector Greg Brennick
transported the injured
puppy to the society's
Marion Vernon Memorial
Veterinary Clinic in Bar-
rie. Ontario SPCA
veterinarian, Dr. Bob
Prendergast, examined the
female dog.
The young dog, who has
been named Spencer, was
diagnosed with two broken
hind legs. One of the legs
was broken just above the
knee. This injury required
surgery in which scar
tissue was removed and a
pin was inserted. The
presence of the scar tissue
indicated that the leg had
been broken for some time.
The other hind leg had
also been fractured but is
healing without the need
for treatment. According to
Dr. Prendergast, this in-
jury was several weeks old.
Although Spencer has
been through quite an
ordeal, things are beginn-
ing to look up for the very
friendly and outgoing pup-
py. Dr. Prendergast is
pleased with Spencer's pro-
gress to date and states
that. "because of her young
age. Spencer is healing
ATorel •
very well." Aiding in
Spencer's quick recovery is
Karen Eckhardt, an
animal health technician at
the veterinary clinic. Mrs.
Eckhardt and her children
have looked after Spencer
in their home. Because of
the excellent care that
Spencer has received, she
will be available for adop-
tion in a week or so.
While this incident is tur-
ning out well for Spencer,
other animals are not as
fortunate. Situations in-
volving injured animals
are both common and ex-
pensive. Spencer's treat-
ment alone will cost more
than 1500. To help care for
injured animals in Ontario
who require a helping
hand, the Ontario SPCA is
establishing the PAIN
(Protecting Animals In
Need) Emergency Fund.
This important fund will
only be successful with
generous contributions
from the public.

Myths about Car Theft
by At. H. Parnu
Automobile theft is often
thought of as a minor crime but
in reality it's a serious problem
in our society. Let's dispel some
of the more common meths
around this growing problem.
Myth #fl: Only sports cars or
diluxe models are stolen.
Who would want a two or
three-year-old ordinary car:'
Authorities report that the
most popular makes are the
most likely stolen and the least
likely_ to he recovered . Ordi-
nary sedans are the backbone of
the lucrative stolen used parts
market and therefore are the
Last frequently recovered.
Myth #►2: Car theft is not re-
nally a big issue and everything
is usually covered under in-
surance anvwa%.
in Canada. thieves steal a ve-
hicle every 5 1 4 minutes and a
vehicle is broken into every
thirty seconds. '-Auto theft is a
crime that everyone pays for.
especially insureds when their
premiums are due." says Deb-
orah Blewett. an auto insurance
expert with The Co-operatom
Car theft costs Canadian con-
sumers about S37S million a
year in insurance premiums for
unrcanrred vehicles. damage
to vehicles that arc stolen and
later recovered. and items stolen
from vchicks.
Myth +t3: Canada has a much
l"er auto theft rate than the
United States.
When it comes to theft of
insured cars. the Canadian rate
cxccca% the American rate h%
more than two to one' There is
no doubt that organized crime
nng% arc in%odved in the auto
theft market, which presents
%era low risks for thieves and
gencratc% spectacular profits.
!Myth #4: Cars are mosth
stolen for joyrides and are
usually found intact very
quickly.
Statistics show that 6&7't of
the time authorities find the
stolen vehicle within 2-10 days.
The state of the recovered car
depends on what the thieves
used them for they are rarely
abandoned intact. In 1991
nearly 375(X) vehicles were
stolen and not recovered. While
automobile theft is an urban
phenomena. what happens to
your car depends on where you
live in Canada. For example. a
car stolen in Quebec is quite
likely to end up in pieces in a
..chop shop". The vehicles are
dismantled and the pans sold.

whole car may ha%e been worth.
A car stolen in Alberta would

ride and recovered.
!Myth 05: 1 don't park in dark
Site%" or unsupervised park-
ing lots so I'm not at risk for
haying my car stolen.
Your place of residence ranks
as the number one spot where
thieves are most likely to strike.
followed by shopping center
parking lots. Most people are
not as sympathetic to automo-
hik theft victims as the% are to
victims of burglary. Because
they are viewed as non-violent
crimes. autornobik thefts
hardly cause a ripple. Usually
the victim is not injured and if
they are insured. they will be
reimbursed and everything will
soon be back to normal. But the
reality includes the emotional
upset of victims and the loss of
im"pla"cable persoml belong-
ings.
Tips For Preventing Theft
Sc. cral automobile manufac-
turcrs have introduced features
designed to reduce the inci-
dence of vehicle theft (e.g.
alarms and ultra -sonic devices.
the etching of parts and acces-
sories. fuel cut-off systems.
etc.). Ask your local police and
motorists' associations for ad-
vice on which vehicles are the
most difficult for thieves to
steal. Here are some tips on how
to discourage car thieves:
• Don't leave your car un-
locked or with the key in the
ignition. Always pocket the
keys.
• Keep your house keys sepa-
rate from your car keys.
• Park your car in a busy, well -
lit area.
• Do not leave valuable items
or packages in sight in your
• Keep your vehicle registra-
tion in your wallet or purse.
• Etch or mark some of the
more expensive parts on your
car in an inconspicuousplace
with an engraving tool, using
your car's Vehicle Identifica-
tion Number (ViN). On

with rust -inhibitor.
• Install safety door lock but -
toms.
• Always keep your car trunk
locked.
• Keep your windows closed
when your car is unattended.
• Lock your gay tank cap.
"W hik your insurance com-
pany doesn't ask for a picture of
%our car, take one vour%clf and
keep it in a safe place: it will make
the job easier for poise if your
car is stolen." says Deborah
Bimett of Tbc Ccroperitons.

Human engineering in an unseen world
It's a matter of ability over disability
B- Marsha Boulton
HEMMEL HILL, BELGIUM,
1915 — How did a young soldier
turn the tragic consequences of a
sniper's bullet into a triumph of
ability over disability''
There was no moon in the
autumn sky Diver Hemmel Hill in
Belgium as Lieutenant Edwin
Albert Baker reconnoitred the
cratered landscape, laying a com-
munication litre between Canadian
units on the frontlines and their
headquarters. Baker was 22, a farm
boy from Kingston, Ontario who
had earned his electrical engineer-
ing degree at Queen's University.
He was inspecting a caved -in
trench when the sharp crack of
gun fire filled the air. One bullet
from a German sniper creased the
bridge of Eddie Baker's nose,
destroying both of his eyes. He
was the first Canadian officer to
lose his sight in World War I.
"Now don't worry about me."
Baker wrote to his parents, while
he recovered and underwent ther-
apy in London. At St. Dunstan's
rehabilitation hostel, he adopted
the philosophy of the institution's
thunder, Arthur Pearson: "Nothing
showld be dome for a blind man, if
he can possibly do it for himself.
Baker studied Braille, typing
and business administration
before returning to Canada."
Through "Black lack" Robin-
son, editor of
the Toronto
Telegram, he
received an intro-
duction to Ontario
Hydro chairman
Sir Adam Beck.
Both men were impressed with
the ernest young man. Baker
married Robinson's daughter. At
Ontario Hydro, he worked his way
from the typing pool to a trouble-
shooting, data collection position.
Baker became involved in
working for the blind community
when he discovered that Canada's
only Braille library in Toronto
was slated to close due to lack
of funds. With the help of five
friends and the assistance of the
Toronto Women's Musical Club,
the library was saved and moved
to new headquarters.
Informal meetings at the library
led to discussions about the need
for a national organization for
the blind. Such
a group would
extend itself into
the community
to help with the
A C T care, training and
employment of
the blind, as well as working to
prevent blindness.
The Canadian National Institute
for the Blind received its charter
in 1918. Baker was its first vice-
president, and five of the seven
founding members were blind.
At first, the CNIB consisted of
two small shops where men and
women made brooms and sewed.
Then, with government backing,
Baker established the CNIB's
Watch for the Heritage Minutes on
your local television station.
For more information shout the Heritage Project call 1-MI-567-IM7
Pearson Hall Training Centre
where war -blind veterans were
taught how to walk and function
in an unseen world.
Baker went on to design train-
ing programs to help other blind
Canadians. As head of the CNIB,
he arranged for a range of ser-
vices from vocational schools to
seeing eye dogs, as well as resi-
dences for the aged and public
treatment clinics. Braille services
were established, "eye banks"
created and research launched. In
areas of education reform and
pensions, Baker was a leader.
Baker received many honours.
including the Croix de Guerre,
the Order of the British Empire
and elevation to the rank of
Colonel. For 13 years he served
as president of the World Council
for the Welfare of the Blind,
co-ordinating the activities of
47 nations.
"By a trick of fate, I found
myself transferred from my pro-
posed career as an electrical
engineer to one which might
be termed human engineering,"
Baker once noted.
Canadian Youth Service Corps
The federal government
is acting on its pledge to
implement the Canadian
Youth Service Corps
(CYSC), outlined in
"Creating
Opportunity:The Liberal
Plan for Canada", with the
annoucement that the Hon.
Ethel Blondin-Andrew,
Secretary of State for
Training and Youth, will
chair round table discus-
sions on the creation of the
CYSC in key locations
across the country.
In making the annouce-
ment, Ethel Blondin-
Andrew said, "the Govern-
ment is fulfilling its com-
mitment to give young peo-
ple in Canada a renewed
sense of hope and ac-
complishment. The Cana-
dian Youth Service Corps
will give unemployed youth
a chance to develop their
skills and gain work ex-
perience while contributing
to their community."

Sanctioned Races Protect Dogs
The 10th anniversary edi-
tion of the Minden Techni-
cal Challenge, will be held
on Jan. 22 and 23.
Every year, the Minden
Techni-cal Challenge
draws thousands of spec-
tators to watch the world's
best sled -dog teams and
drivers compete for big
bucks and medal points.
This annual event is one of
the most exciting on the
winter sports calendar.
But in the midst of all the
excitement, some spec-
tators may pause and ask
themselves whether sled -
dog racing is managed to
e,4n,,s,,u,�re the welfare of the
dog
Over the past 25 years,
the International Sled Dog
Racing Association
(ISDRA) has developed
rules under which sled -dog
races are conducted. Only
races that abide by these
riles, which are designed
to protect the dogs from ac-
cidents on the trail, are
sanctioned by ISDRA.
In addition, every event
is evaluated each year to
assess the degree to which
it meets ISDRA's stan-
dards. From the beginning,
the Minden Techni-cal
Challenge has received
sanctioning and been judg-
ed "excellent".
Spectators may also be
confused about "animal
rights" versus "animal
welfare". Those who
believe in "animal rights"
feel that all human ac-
tivities that use animals in
any way - whether for food
or clothing or sports or zoos
or circuses - exploit and
abuse the animals. Some
even believe having pets is
wrong.
Most people, however,
are more concerned about
animal welfare: they want
to know that the ammals
are well cared for, properly
fed and housed, and treated
humanely. ISDRA has
taken a stand on animal
welfare that recognizes sl-
ed dogs as "athletes of
singular ability, born with
an instinctive love of runn-
ing" and believes that "sl-
ed dogs deserve the highest
quality of care and treat-
ment."
The special loyalty that
dogs offer to human beings
has one of its highest ex-
pressions in the team work
between a musher and his
or her animals. The most
successful drivers are
renowned for their strong
relationship with their dogs
- a relationship that flows
directly out of the care and
concern they show their
dogs every day.
The Minden Techni-cal
Challenge is the world's
largest limited -class sled -
dog race. It has earned this
acclaim through the size of
its purse - $Z,000 provided
by race sponsor Martin Pet
Foods of Elmira, Ont. - and
the number of mushers, in-
cluding many ISDRA
rnedal winners, who par-
ticipate every year.
The Haliburton
lbghlands is well known as
a summer -time recrea-
tional playground. The
Minden Techni-cal
Challenge is one of several
events that show off its
beauties in winter. The ex-
tensive tourist facilities of
the Haliburton Highlands
are ready to welcome all
those who visit the area for
this exciting weekend.
Minden is on Hwy. 35
about 200 kms north of
Toronto in the heart of cot-
tage country. For informa-
tion and accommodation,
call the Chamber of Com-
merce at 15001 461-7611.

Fine-tune your investments
to find proper risk balance
By Stan Tepper, CA
(MC) — You can't invest without
incurring risk. But as any char-
tered accountant will tell you, the
more you understand risk, the more
E
you can minimize iL
Most people consider only one
dimension of risk when investing
— preserving their capital. If they
invest S 1.000, they want to erasure
they get that S 1,000 back at some
point. They may be willing to ac-
cept a relatively low earnings rue
on their funds to preserve that capi-
tal, so they invest in "low risk"
GICs (guaranteed investment cer-
tificates), Canada Savings Bonds
and short term deposits or treasury
bills.
But there are other types of risk
that investors should consider, es-
pecially when saving for retire-
ment. While many Canadians hope
to retire before age 65, the fact that
we now live longer than past gen-
erations means that our retirement
savings may have to last 25 to 30
years, or even lunger. Thus, one of
the biggest risks today is not
whether you will lose your capital
but whether you will outlive it.
In this context, your investing
equation becomes one of deter-
mining how much is "enough" to
support your future needs. Can you
preserve your capital by investing
in guaranteed securities and still
have enough? Or do you have to
put some of your capital at risk in
order to earn more and thereby
reduce the risk of outliving your
savings?
It is very difficult to make reliable
projections 20 or 30 or more years
into the future. So it follows that it
is difficult to make investment
decisions based on such projec-
tions.
The way to start is to look at your
current investing program, whether
ureide or outside an RRSP. And
the first thing to consider is how
much risk to capital you an toler-
ate. Generally, over the long term,
the more risk to capital you take
the more you will earn on your
investments. This means invest-
iag some of your capital in most
mutual funds, stocks. longer-term
bonds, real estate or even com-
modities, rather than in guaran-
teed securities.
You won'tdiscover yourrisk com-
fort level over night- But gauging
how well you sleep at night is a
time-honoured method of deter-
mining yourtolerarnce to risk. How
much of your total capital must
you have invested in guaranteed
securities to ensure a good night's
sleep? Once you have decided
this, you should consider invest-
ing the rest less conservatively. Of
course, you wil I have to find a risk
comfort level you can tolerate with
these other investments, too.
It may take a year or two to fine-
tune your investments and find the
proper risk balance, but once you
do, you can estimate the total earn-
ings rate of your portfolioand make
your projections. Only then will
you be able to determine if your
retirement objectives and your in-
vestment program match up.

Rules are necessary for fair and fun
competition. You must teach your players the
importance of rules and abide by the rules
yourself.
Make it clear that you expect your
players to obey the rules at all times. For
example, you must emphasize that players
should never hit an opponent from behind or
engage in illegal stickwork.
Following the rules also means
developing respect for the officials who
enforce them. Officials are trained
individuals who make the game more fair
and fun for all.
You must start by respecting and
accepting officials' calls, even if you think

your players officiate during practices. This
will emphasize that officials are human and
make mistakes just like everyone else.
Your players must understand that

should never injure or ridicule an opponent,
and should recognize good performances b y
opponents, extending good sportsmanship at

Players learn best by example. The
example you set not only affects their long-

ON STAGE:
The problem with
superlatives is that their
over -use can result in a
review becoming a puff. If
what follows is so perceived
then, so be it.
"Crazy For You", the
musical show now opened
at the Roval Alexandra is,
simply stated, now the best
show in Toronto.
It has everything.

singing• dancing and
spectacle. It's the kind of
show that lingers fondly in
one's memorv, even after
repeated viewings. And.
yes, The Column
recommends same. there's
simply too much to be taken
in at a single attendance.
As most must be aware by
now. "Crary For You" is
the story of Bobby Child• a
wealthy New Yorker who
cares more for dancing and
show business than for high
finance. He travels to
virtual ghost town
Deadrock. Nevada to close
the old Gaiety Theatre
which has fallen upon hard
times. He falls in love with
Polly. the daughter of its
owner and saves the theatre
by producing a spectacular
show.

production is Jim Walton as
Bobby For him it's quite
proper to trot out the old
epithet of triple treat. What

extra special -Flagstaff is
loo years old.
A favourite destination of
winter sports lovers, tuck-
ed beneath the majestic
San Francisco Mountains,
Flagstaff creates the pic-
ture perfect setting for the
annual snow festival.
Average temperatures for
February range from a low
of -10C to a high of 10C, and
though there may not be
much snow in town the ac-
cumulation in the moun-
tains is enough to support a
ski season from mid-
December to mid-March.
The 1994 Winterfest
calendar of events is brim-
ming with activities to
satisfy all ages, and many
of the events are repeated
during the eleven day
festival, solving the pro-
blem of how to sample
everything.
Flagstaff Winterfest will
kick off the city's centen-
nial celebration with a
festive "Opening
Ceremony" and parade
through historic downtown
Flagstaff. "Timber Tales"
of Flagstaff's pioneer days,
a "Centennial Barn

Flagstaff Historic Walk"
will recreate Flagstaff's
frontier life of more than
loo years ago. A country
swing contest, "Boots and
Bubbles" fashion show,
and champagne tasting
will be held at the Museum
Club on Historic Route 66.
Festival attendees will
have plenty of opportunity
to get outside and enjoy
dozens of nose -nipping ac-
tivities in the snow. Kids of
all ages will love watching
championship sled -dog
races, dog weight pulls and
skijoring, an event where
participants on skis are
pulled across the snow by a
vehicle. At other festival
favourites, children can pet
and play games with
friendly, wooly lamas, en-
joy family ice skating,
figure skating and ice
hockey events, snow
sculptures and lively snow
games.
Downhill, tekmark and
crow -country skiers can
compete in a variety of
races. Crass -country skiers
and snowshoers can take
lessons, participate in
family events and "Eat.
Drink and Ski Merry" in
peaceful aspen groves.
Softball enthusiasts witl en-
joy a winter warm-up at
the "Snow Softball Tourna-
Also featured will be
numerous concerts and
entertainment, including
..Winter Tales", with char-
ming stories and songs
from around the world, Im-
provisational Jazz, an
organ recital and several
readings by local authors.
The "HeartAo-Heart Din-
ner" and "Assistance
League's Snowball Slide..
offer two delightful events
that benefit local charities.
At the "Pepsi Winter -
faire Arts & Crafts Show",
artisans will sell their
unusual, hand -made wares
in a colourful atmosphere
that features live music
and savoury southwestern
food. The Museum of Nor-
thern Arizona, Coconino

Observatory, also
celebrating its centennial,
will hold two "Centennial
Winter Star Gazes" using
their historic Clark
Telescope. Six winter
workshops, featuring
popular topics and
speakers, are offered free
to the public.
"Festival -goers should

ticipate in Winterfest and
explore scenic northern
Arizona," said William
Tappe, Director Canada
for the United States

Beautiful Buzzards Call Sea World Home
To many, they're so ugly
they're cute. The Cinereous
vultures. The largest of the
old world birds of prey.
Although sinister -looking,
these buzzards are an im-
portant link in nature's
food chain. Like an en-
vironmental vacuum
cleaner, they remove the
remains of animals from
woods and roadsides.
Of all species of vultures,
the Cinereous vulture is
considered one of the most
jeopardized, with only 44
estimated in zoological
parks and aquariums in the
United States and about 800
left worldwide. Currently
listed as "threatened".
they are likely to be placed
on the "endangered" list in
the near future.
The American Associa-
tion of Zoological Parks
and Aquariums (AAZPA )
is hoping to boost reproduc-
tion of the Cinereous
vulture through breeding
programs at Sea World and
26 other North American
zoos and parks. So far,
there have been 23 suc-
cessful hatchlings, all
hand -reared.
Recently, a pair of
Cinereous vultures were in-
troduced to Sea World of
Florida's extensive avian
collection. "These im-
pressive vultures add
variety to the bird popula-
tion here at the park. They
also exemplify our ongoing
comnvtment to education
and conservation," said

of rabbit and rat meat, as
well as :Nebraska bird of

minister vitamins and
minerals, and closely
observe their eating habits
to ensure proper
nutrition," Dennis said. "
For example• in their
natural environment, they
wouldn't necessarily eat
every day. so we fast the
birds one day each week.
This fasting gives them a
chance to clean out their
system. -
Man is the only natural
enemy of the vulture, play-

primary reasons for their

negative effects on the
