Living With Teens Study Being a parent of task teenagers is not an easy nowada Cottage Show At Trade Centre Feb.4 - 6th. More than 250 exhibitors specializing in items specifically for the cottage are busypreparing for the 4th Annual Cottage Show Feb. 4-6, at the Sletro East Trade Centre in Pickering. "It it's for the cottage, it's at The Cottage Show". says Show Director Ron Cowan . The show offers one-stop shopping for cot- tage owners or for those thinking of buying their first cottage. By bringing together the "true cottage experts" at The Cottage Show. Cowan has ensured that cottagers are able to comparison shop in one venue for the best selection and prices for all of their cottage needs. The Cottage Show houses under one roof as many cot- tage industry experts as possible - from realtors to contractors. log home builders and renovators to dock builders- as well as exhibitors of boats. canoes. hot tubs, wood stoves, .......................................................... borne furnishing and out- door clothing. Of course. cottage cotm- try contractors eager to build your dream cottage will be in attendance, as will cottage country realtors exhibiting proper- ty listings from across On- tario. "Ibis year we will be em- phasizing the under $99,000 cottage•" says Cowan. "There are a lot of quality cottage properties available, and they're closer and more affordable now than people think. There are deals out there." The success and growth of The Cottage Show over the past four years is due largely to a growing trend in the consumer exposition industry - shows that are directed at specific target markets. As the tremen- dous number of "baby boomers" begins to ap- proach middle age, the number of cottage owners is expected to grow steadi- ly over the next decade. .............................................................

January 26, 1994 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Bob's Notes by Bob Watson Working Together It is very refreshing to see the federal, provincial and local governments working on projects together for the pro- duction of more enterprise in the private business area. This is the key to future prosperity and we applaud it. A report on what :Margaret Thatcher and her successor did in Britain the last few years suggests another great idea. Prime Minister Thatcher began unravelling the public service into private corporations wherever possible. Tire result is less government expenditure and more work in the general workplace. Large private corporations have been doing a similar action in the last few years - re- organizing their work force and using less labour for the same results. Unfortunately in the movement for efficiency many employees can get caught with a "no work" situation. But there are ways to redress this situation if governments and industry want to produce a good pian. World trade is dictating that Canada become more effi- cient in the use of personnel and materials. We note that Premier Wells of Newfoundland has gone to Asia to relate some of his province's goods and services to people there. But let's get that GST out of existence and replaced with a 4.7% increase in income tax. It would be more efficient and help the market place to expand. "White Males" - Fight For Your Rights My Trip To Senegal Dear Editor: This past August I travelled with two other Canadian students to Senegal. West Africa as part of World Vision Canada's 30 hour famine travel scholarship. We visited Senegal for 10 days, and in this brief time 1 expenenced a myriad of emotions: shock. fear. despair. dismay. surprise and most of all hope. In Senegal's crowded cities• the constant smell of diesel fumes and bunung garbage hang heavily in the air. It was here that I saw people drinking dirty water and small children being pimped to beg or pickpocket money. This sort of blatant poverty both shocked and depressed me. 1 felt helpless. until I saw the effects of World Vision Senegal's work 1 was surprised to find the villages involved with World %i- sion such a source of hope. Here I saw children smiling. laughing. playing. and most importantly enjoying clean u ater. This water came from one of the 400 boreholes drill- ed by World % ision over the past six years. I am convinced that this water put the sparkle back into the eyes of these villagers. Imagine that' The same stuff we find in countless taps around our homes has the power to bring hundreds of people better health care. better agricultural produce and a better future. Senegalese are now leaving the main cities and are mov- ing back to their home villages in search of a happier way of life. The villagers work together towards their community's advancement: these are proud people who are insulted by handouts. World Vision does not give han- douts, it give -hand-ups": the tools, the skills, and the knowledge necessary to succeed. I was told that some of the money I helped to raise went to help Third World countries, but I was rat prepared for the joy that I felt when I realized that the small role I played in the 30 Hour Famine HAD made a difference. I took only a little of my time and energy. but I've seen how this translates into a whole new way of life for people less for- tunate than myslf. It all comes down to basic sharing. Those who have moret, share with others so that everyone can enjoy life to the fullest. This is hope. because we can all make a difference.

Brit- ain led the world in the industrial revolution and today it's leading the world in revolutionary ways to restructure government. Over the past fifteen years the British have sold virtually every state-owned industry to Mhe private sector. The indus- Mies privatized include an air- ine. Iructdng and bus compa- nies, electrical, water, gas and telephone utilities, and steel and ship building companies. Also privatized were most of the slate - owned houses. The health and education services have been partially privatized. Now the British are privatiz- I g the public service 950. As a result of all this activity. the size and cost of govemman I in Britain has been dramatically curl and service has been greatly enhanced. Privatization works Fortunately. for the rest of the world, the British are eager to share their privatization exper- tiw so that other countries can participate in this exciting revo- lulion For trice. Dr. Marken Pine who conceived or helped to con- oeihre many of the most Knpor- tanr and innovative privatization schernes has written a vitally important book. which is a do-11- yourselt privatization but The book. entitled filueprrrt for a Revolution describes concisely and clearly the profound changes which have been implertwn ted by Me Brush government under Prate Blueprint for Revolution Ministers Margaret Thatcher and John Major In short, Pirie shows how and why privatization works. Healso reveals practical guidelines on how to privatize in ways which are publicly acceptable. His lessons have special significance and applicabikly for Canadians who share with Britons a comrron language. the common law, parliamentary democracy and constitutional monarchy. We both live in relatively wealthy, well-educaled and well developed countries. In other words, if privatization can work in Britain it can oertanlV work in Canada too. With privatization we can cut the size and cost of government at all levels without reducing the quality of service. In these days of exploding deficits, higher taxes and deteriorating public services. Pirie's message is more important than ever Now is the time we need innovative approaches to cut government spending.

Scarborough West Large Corporations To Be Taxed The Ontario Govennrncnt is dedicated to fair taxation. We made a commitment in our 19W Election Platform docu- ment, "An Agenda for People" and in the 19903 Ontario Budget to target large, profitable corporations that pay lit- tle or rio income tax. The result is our new Corporate Minimum Tax I CMT I and a fairer corporate tax system. We consulted extensively with the public and the business sector to come up with the CMT. Our Fair Tax Commission Working Group I made up of business, unions, educators, academics, environmentalists, members of the public, etc.) looked at the tax and provided us with guidelines for a CMT. We followed those guidelines. To protect the process of economic recovery, only those large, profitable corporations that have the ability to pay will be affected. 90% of Ontario businesses will not have to file the tax. Small business is exempt. Corporations paying their fair share of regular income tax continue to benefit fully from Ontario's existing tax benefits. Firms experiencing losses in the recession are of- fered generous CMT loss carry forwards to provide relief. Finally, the CMT will be phased in slowly with sensitivity to a corporation's ability to pay. We promised fairer taxation and we're delivering. The CMT makes the corporate tax system fairer fairer for the individual taxpayer and the small businesses that were already paying their fair share of taxes. We've done it while allowing economic recovery to continue by maintaining ex- isting tax incentives and benefits. Trade Barriers Removed Between Quebec r1 Ontario More good news for workers in Ontario. The recent agree- ment signed by Ontario Economic Development and Trade Minister Frances Lankin with the Quebec government en - Metro Council News from Ken Morrish Councillor Scarborough Highland Creek My office has been receiving many calls over the past few weeks from residents enquiring about the future plans for Port Union Road. Port Union Road was established as the eastern dividing line between Pickering and Metropolitan Toronto when Metro was founded in 1953. At that time Metro wanted to widen it into a four -lane arterial roadway but Pickering re- jected this proposal. Metro went ahead and widened its por- tion to a three lane roadway of two lanes with curbs on the west side and one lane with a ditch (formally owned by Pickering) on the east side. I have been advised that the east side portion of Port Union will be widened to two lanes with a curb when the Centennial development project is completed, if not before. There have also been some complaints about dirt being left on Port Union Road by construction crews. Metro has a policy requiring that all contractors and developers must clean any roadway fronting onto a development under con- struction three times a day, particularly at the end of the day. I have reported these concerns to the Metro Transpor- tation Department who have advised that they will monitor the situation more closely to ensure that the policy is adhered to. As you know. Metro achieved a 0% increase in property taxes for 1993 by reducing departmental budgets and streamlining its operations wherever possible throughout the Corporation. Metro Council is again determined to duplicate these 1993 results or further reduce them in 1994 to keep property taxes as low as possible. To ensure this, I am actively participating in the review of all departmental budgets at this time. The Metro Police Department is being seriously affected by the "reduced spending at all costs" mentality which politicians are presenting demanding. While there is little doubt that the Police budget could definitely be cut in cer- tain areas. the proposed cutbacks will have a noticeable af- fect an policing in our neighbourhoods. It has been rumoured that there may be a reduction in manpower on the Force. This could be a particular problem for the Scarborough Highland Creek area and could lead to the closing of the Police Sub -station at 4040 Lawrence Ave. East. I am certain that most residents world be willing to spend a few dollars, if necessary, to maintain and improve the level of policing presently in Metro. This message must be made strongly to all municipal politicians, especially those at Metro who will be dealing with the Police budget at Metro Council in the near future. I would like to assure every resident that I will not support cuts in manpower on Metros Police Force. however I will support downsizing within other departments and areas within the Metro Corporation. The funds saved by this ac- tion should then be transferred to the Metro Toronto Police Depanmerit budget to help offset the rising costs of protec- ting our communities. Please give me a call at 392-4065 or write to me at my Metro Hall office, 55 John St.,Suite 2x3, Toronto, Ont.,M5V 3C6 if you have any questions or concerns on these or any other issues. Here and There Housing Resales Climb Resale housing activity in Canada's 25 major markets end- ed 19903 on a high note. Preliminary figures released by the Canadian Real Estate Association I CREA I show 12,562 homes traded hands through the Multiple Listing Service in December compared with 10,856 units a year ago, represen- ting an increase of 15.7 percent. This brought major market sales to a total of 196,834 units in 19903 compared to 217,428 units in 1992. ................ .... sures that jobs and contracts are available for individuals and companies regardless of where they live or do business. Strong pressure by my government on Quebec brngs about this positive change benefiting workers by allowing qualified, experienced construction workers from either province to gain access to jobs in both provinces; allowing contractors to obtain private construction contracts in either province, regardless of their place of business; giv- ing contractors access to government construction tenders let by either province; and creating an open market for con- struction materials in government funded projects. The agreement commits both provinces to negotiate a broader agreement covering government procurement of other goods and services by the end of March as well to phase out discriminatory municipal bus purchasing policies by 1998.

"The computer nights were such a success that we are planning another session to he held in the spring," said Anson Park P.S. Chairman Jane Goad. Jane Goad and Jean McLaren, a Grade two teacher, based the format for the three sessions on the already successful "family math nights". On the first evening, parents and students selected disks featuring mathematical activities, such as identify- ing number factors, con- structing patterns, review- ing mechanical operations and problem solving. The second session highlighted software which related to and reinforced language arts skills, in- cluding phonetic drills, word recognition skills, heading and story writing. During the final evening, parents and students tried their hand at various simulations, ranging from the direction of a pioneer journey across America to the mining of a cave top at- tempting to survive as a fish in a lake.

There are deals out there.” The success and growth of The Cottage Show over the past four years is due largely to a growing trend in the consumer exposition industry - shows that are directed at specific target markets. As the tremen- dous number of "baby boomers" begins to ap- proach middle age, the number of cottage owners is expected to grow steadi- lv over the next decade.

Joint Replacement Surgery There are many joints throughout the human body. Essen- tially thev are composed of two bones that are held together by firm tissue called ligaments. The inner lining which is attached to the outer cover of the joint is known as synovial membrane. The synovial membrane is responsible for providing a lubricating fluid to help the joint in its nourishment and movement. Covering the bone within the joint is a shiny and smooth material which is known as cartilage. This cover has thickness to it and is present to allow the joint to move and to function. The cover ( the cartilage I does not show on an x-ray and is seen as a space between the visible bony ends of the joint. As most things that are meant to be in motion, there are factors that interrupt this cycle of activity. In the human body. simply the wear and tear of repeated use for many years, produces a thinning of that protective surface and allows bone to rub on bone. Injury to the joint can also damage the protective surface as can disease, such as rheumatoid arthritis. Once the protective cover, at the end of the bone, is worn thin or disappears. the person starts to experience discomfort. loss of movement and eventual decrease in function. The objective of joint replacement is to eliminate pain. maintain movement and restore function. Over the years surgeons have experimented with different materials to try to achieve the aforementioned improvements. Work continues to constantly improve and prolong the ability of the prosthetic joint to work for longer and longer periods of time. There are many different types of joint replacements. Most are composed of a metal component, often an alloy of several mixed metals, as well as some sort of plastic portion known as polyethylene. These are constantly be- ing upgraded and improved from a manufacturing angle. As time goes on, joint replacements are being required for younger and younger people. In the early days. long before the advent of joint replacement, a fusion of a joint was often seen as an acceptable alternative. Today. however, most people are not willing to endure a fused joint and choose. like Bo Jackson, to have a new joint in- serted. The concern in people like Bo Jackson, because of activity and young age, is that the joint will loosen within the confines of the human bone and will wear out too soon. Revisions or "redoes" of the joint are possible, but these are not always as successful as the first or primary replacement. At the present state of the art. the joint is placed in the bone with the use of cement as a holding device in people who are over the age of 65 or 70, while in people raider that age, the joint is uncemented. The principle is to have bone grow in and provide stability to that joint without the need for cement. The appropriate choice of joint replacement and the need for fixation, should be determined by your in- dividual doctor, considering your specific circumstances and needs. In an average year, Scarborough General Hospital per- forms approximately 300 joint replacement procedures. While the average waiting time for surgery can be bet- ween 3 to 4 months, the time spent in hospiiaf is usually on - Iv 7 to 10 days. This is followed by a rehabilitation period of between 2 to 3 weeks. There has been significant progress in joint replacement surgery since the early 60's and as we approach the 21st centum, we continue to see advances in this state-of-the- art procedure, which for many can represent a new lease on life.

Canada's "Holy Terror" let's them howl Nice women do want the vote By Marsha Boulton WINNIPEG. MANITOBA. 1916 — What went roused the Manito- ha Legislative Asscmhl% to cele- brate by singing "For They Are Jolly Good Fellows` If Nou knew that the outburst of song was prompted by the passing of a law which granted Manitoba women the right to vote. you may also knuw that the political activist who spearheaded the suffrage campaign was Nellie Mooney McClung. McClung was born in Chatsworth. Ontario and spent most of her childhood in klanito- ba where she became a teacher. "Women's roles" fascinated her at an early age. and McClung signed her first petition on behalf of women's suffrage in I K90 at the age of 16. At 23, she married pharmacist Wes McClung and they eventual- ly raised a family of five. During this time. McClung was active in the Women's Christian Temper- ance Union and she became a popular speaker. She also pursued a writing career. producing her first novel "Sowing Seeds In Dann%" in 1908. It became a national best-seller. After moving to Winnipeg in 1911. McClung became involved in the city's active and vocal women's rights and refixm move- ment. She lob- r -. bied Conserva- tive Premier Sir Ro dmond Roblin for better work- ing conditions for female factory workers. It was to be her first confrontation with Roblin, but not her last. In 1914. McClung led a delega- tion of women to ask for the right to yore. The meeting ended when Premier Roblin concluded: "Nice women don't want the vote." McClung's response was to stage a Mock Parliament in which the subject of the debate was whether or not men should have Watch for the "Nellie Mci on your local telt For morr information about the Her the note. 'Man is made fix some- thing higher and better than vot- ing." declared McClung in an excruciatingly humorous and deadly accurate parody of the Premier. "Politics unsettles men, and unsettled men mean unset- tled bills — bro- ken furniture, broken vows — "� divorce... The Mock Parliament was a huge success. Although there was a some public back -lash to her rabble -rousing style, as well as vicious attacks by critics who accused her of neglecting her children. McClung maintained her posture through reasonable discussion and irrepressible wit and charm. "Never retract, never explain, never apologize — get the thing done and let them howl," became :dung" Heritage Minute :vision station. Rajiv Project call 1-94NI.567-1967. McClung', motto. While her crit- ics nicknamed her "Holy Terror," her supporters and her family cheered her as "Our Nell." On January 27. 1916, Manito- ba's new Liberal government passed the Bill for the Enfran- chisement of Women. What McClung had called "a bonny fight, a knockdown drag -out fight, uniting the women of Manitoba in a great cause." was resolved in a victory which paved the way for other provinces and the federal government to determine that women should be granted the cote. McClung moved to Edmonton, where she continued the struggle for the right to vote in that province. She gained a seat in the Legislature in 1921, and was one of the "famous five" who launched the "Persons Case." "Women are going to form a chain, a greater sisterhood that the world has ever known," wrote McClung. As an author, lecturer and grandmother, she continued to advocate rights and reforms for women until her death in 195 1. gram provides direct in- volvement among technical students, educators, and the private sector; such involvement motivates young people, enriches education and assists the private sector with their future workforce requirements. John Douglas gave an ex- cellent introduction to this program for the Pearson staff and it is hoped that the voluntary membership drive which began in Oc- tober will see the involve- ment of many of our students, both male and female as well as the inclu- sion of those from our sister school, Dr. Marion Hilliard Sr. P.S. It is perceived that the seven goals of Skills Canada will even further universalize the enduring appeal of technological studies: 1. To improve the public perception of the image, importance and opportuni- ty in technological careers. 2. Market innovative resources which assist educational institutions to enhance the quality of technological education. 3. Encourage and assist educators to develop technological awareness of all students and at all keels of the school system and to promote cousidera- tion of technological career options by all students. 4. Develop positive at- titudes and high achieve- ment among students pur- suing technological educa- tion. S. Encourage the develop- ment of strong, continuing links between educators and the private sector at the local keel. 6. Encourage students to enhance their future employability by com- pleting a minimum of secondary education. 7. Promote and facilitate the development of policies and practices which sup- port and further the mis- sion of Skills Canada - Skills Canada will host the first annual Canadian National Skills Competi- tions in 1994 and Skills Canada members will represent Canada at the 1993 International Youth Skill Olympics in Taiwan. Contest areas will run a rich gamut from Auto Body Repair, Baking and Cabinet-making to prepared Speech, Residen- tial Wiring and Sheet Metal. It is noted that several of the contest areas are also clearly inter- disciplinary in nature: Graphic Arts, Job Inter- view, Job Skill Demo istra- tion and Photography.

A New Air Cadet Pilot Corporal Megan Woods, 17, of 110 Black Hawk Squadron (Agincourt) Royal Canadian Air Cadets earned her private pilot's licence as part of the air cadet flying scholarship program. Power flying scholarships are one of the most sought after awards in air cadets. For the 59 air cadets selected, the summer is an intensive combination of ground school and flying training at a flying school. This year, cadets were trained in groups of about 12 at Guelph, Peterborough, Pembroke, North Bay, and Cornwall. The cadets learn to fly in small two or four passenger air- craft with training instructors at the local flying schools. These schools have been selected for their training profi- ciency after having been rated by the Canadian Forces staff responsible for air cadet flying. The cadets live in dor- mitory facilities and are supported by air cadet officers who accompany them throughout the 6 weeks of training. Cure For Winter Blues It's easy to cure those winter blues!

Helping players develop good nutritional and lifestyle habits will help them on the ice, and for the test of their lives. Instruct players to follow a well-balanced diet, eating a variety of foods with essential nutrients: proteins, carbohydrates, fats. vitamins, minerals and water. Players should also drink plenty of fluids, and refer to resources such as Canada's Food Guide and their family physicians. To prepare for games, encourage plavers to eat a moderate meal of carbohydrates like pasta, vegetables, rice and bread two to three hours before game time, along with fruit and fluids. Players should avoid low-energy snacks like chocolate and pop, and drink only water one hour before game time. Here are more tips: - ensure that sufficient amounts of cold water are available for players before, during and after games and practices, especially during tournaments and training camps - encourage plavers to be physically active outside the hockev arena and maintain their weight at an ideal level - educate players about the negative effects of alcohol, drugs and cigarettes and set a positive example by abstaining from all three - make players aware of the dangers of using pertormance enhancing substances like anabolic steroids: proper training and diet will develop ideal strength and muscle The biggest positive impact you can have is by being a good role model. Develop good nutritional and lifestyle habits yourself, and encourage players to do the same. For more resources. contact the C.4HA Resowre Cenme (1-800-66'-CAHA) or a local health professional. Page 10 THE NEWS POST Wed. January 26, 1991 ' Bill Watt's Worlds ON STAGE: Homeward Bound, a Canadian Stage Company presentation at the St. Lawrence Centre, opens in the living room of Claude and Bonnie Beacham, a comfortable• middle class couple. They have sum- moned their children, Nick and Norris (sic) and their children's families for din- ner and a surprise an- nouncement. .an an- nouncement that creates chaos and uncertainty for the children who, in turn, have a few unexpected revelations of their own. Those are words taken from the program notes for this autobiographical play by Elliott Haves. One ap- plauds and envies the skill of their writer in compos- ing such a precis but must also state that the words do not -cannot -describe the im- pact of this impossibly disarming work. The best that this scrib- bler can contrive is to sug- gest that it's the sort of play that might have resulted from a collabora- tion of H. H. Munro i Saki i and Lillian Hellman. It has the sharp, insightful dialogue of the former and the emotional insight of the latter served up with gentle humour. It would be unfair in a reviewto advise the nature of the surprise announce- ment. Let us only hint that it's contained in the title. What, after all, is everyone's ultimate homeward voyage' Agreed" So, there's this famiv gathering. several an- nouncements and the response of each cast member to them. The play is not a tragedy: neither is it an outright comedy. If it must be classified as anything, let it be as a little play. That's in no way pe- jorative. Little plays are delicate pekes that require exqumte acting. They are not for church basement groups -however well intended -but for theatre professionals. And, oh my, what a collection of same is assembled here. Barbara Bryne portrays Bonnie. At first light, she appears eccentric, maybe even a bit flakev. In fact, she's quite clever and lov- ing with that certain -)e ne sous quoi" that make those legalities seem revelatory. Douglas Rain is Glen Beacham, properly patriarchal but not in the manner of a Judge Hardy . rather a Roland )Topper Young. Students of theatre will know what we mean. Others will simply find his performance simply engaging. Michelle Fisk is their daughter. In her perfor- mance she nicely prefigures the character she will become as she reaches the age of her mother. ..a bit dithery but not -dumb". She's enchan- tingly annoying. Or, is that vice versa? Tom Wood as the son con- tributes a nice depiction of a modern man more or less in control of himself but on- ly with barely hidden ef- fort. Peter Donaldson as the son-in-law t)nd Gerry Mackay as the son's lover make much of what are vir- tual supporting roles. Marti Maraden directs with rather more crispness than would seem called for but the result is everything that such a pay requires. No, we're not being cryp- tic. Homeward Bound. A lit- tle play'.' Perhaps, but a great little play THEATRE MANQUE: La Grippe prevented our attendance at Le Pays dans ]a Gorge presente par Theatre Frantiais de Toronto at the Canadian Stage Theatre (Berkeley Street). Pity. . .both our dreadful written French and the fact that we missed what would seem to have been a delightful work. Briefly, it's a period piece story of two sisters who travel to London in 1668 to improve their lives through the study of music. Among the characters in- troduced are Queen Vic- toria, soprano Emma Albani and the two Covent Garden directors, Fredenc and Ernest Gve. The music sung to harp and piano is by Mozart. Puccini and Wagner. It all sounds charming and we envy those who attended. We also find ourself hoping for a reprise engagement. AT THE OPERA: Leos Janacek is pro- bably, or should be, ranked in the lower third of opera composers. His music has little about it to charge the spirit or uplift the soul. And yet, and vet, after viewing the Canadian Opera Com- pany's production of his Katva Kabanova at The ©gin, one reluctantly con- cludes that he was not without skill and certainly not without passion. Oh, the narrative itself is at best second rate - sexually repressed wife of ner'dish husband takes a nerdish lover and does a Brodev Ophelia in remorse -but the Janacek score somehow gives it a freshness that's quite touching. Even when sung in Czech. The title role is pivotal• of course• and soprano Stephanie Sundine sings it for all its worth with poignancy. passion and power. So searing is her performance indeed, that it actually makes her characterization real, not bravura. She is also gorgeous to look at and to hear. Also powerful in their roles are Jane Gilbert as her sister-in-law and Felicity Palmer as her bit- chy mother-in-law. The former is free spnted and rebellious with her own lover and in support of Katva in her affair. The lat- ter, despite costuming that makes her look like Carol Burnett imitating Mary Poppins, is the very quintessence of false puritanism and its concom- mitant evil of the soul. What a hateful woman. . .and what a fine perfor- mance by Miss Palmer! The balance of the cast is excellent to hear but one isn't too sure how they all appear. Director Robert Carlen hasn't marshaled the cast well and members of same can barely be seen when on stage to the au - diene left. Richard Bradshaw, new- ly appointed Artistic Direc- tor of the C.O.C. conducts with his usual flourish and even manages to coax a frisson of Debussy out of the orchestration. Most surprising, most welcome. Indeed, that can be said of Katya Kabanova. It's to be followed in tandem starting this Satur- day with a new production of Rossini's Le Comte Ory. No Maude, it's not about Dixieland music: you're thinking of Kid Ory. T.V. FARE: The local Variety Club presents its annual telethon Around and About Your Dining &Entertainment Guide this weekend on Global. Among the many pleasures of the telethon will be a rare on camera ap- pearance by genial Walt Grealis, founder of R.P.M. magazine, the leading voice of the Canadian recording scene. It observes its 90th anniver- sary on Feb. 24th and, on his segment of the show•. Walt will no doubt be chat- ting with some many of the major figures that have made Canada's recording industry one with which to be reckoned. As a launch for the telethon Variety is joining forces with Shopsy's on Thurs. Feb. 3rd for the an- nual Freeze Your Buns Off Barbecue. From noon till 2 p.m. some of Toronto's most at- tractive people will be front and centre serving up hot dogs for the star gazers. All things can change but as it stands now, we're scheduled to be on deck or at least behind the serving counter at noon. No autographs please unless you wish theist written in mustard. All proceeds go directly to the Variety Club and a cheque for the amount will be presented on the telethon. No word as yet on utether or not well be tap dancing. On Sunday. CBC Televi- sion presents the long awaited Roch Voisin special. Go get 'em Tiger' Keep your eyes opened and vour sets tuned to Channel 11 next week for a reunion of Robert Culp and Bill Cosby on "I Spy' Hard to believe it's been a quarter century since the series first aired. This reu- nion epsode sounds like great fun. IN CONCERT: On the evening before The Column is scheduled to sell hot dogs at Shopsy's for the Variety Club, wildly popular Jose Carreras will be appearing across the street at The O'Keefe. The concert has long been sold out and, as this is being written, one can't see how an extra one can be squeezed in to accom- modate his many disap- pointed fans. - Stewart Copeland is appearing on Feb. ist and the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre begins a three night engagement on the 3rd. Even an artist as eager as Mr. Carreras to please his fans cannot be expected to perform two concerts on the same day. Our sympathies go out to those w'ho won't be able to hear his glorious voice but they're tempered with the advice that on his next ap- pearance there should be no delay in securing tickets as soon as they go on sale. IN THE GALLERIES: Drew Harris has an ex- hibition of his new works at The Gallery in Mirvish Village. It has been said of them that "along with the haunting visual message, there is a low hum that ac- companies each piece. It can't be heard, only felt." Don't know who wrote or said that but it almost mat- ches in impact the works being described. The exhibition ends Feb. Sth but private viewings ay be arranged by calling This i�, Martine i.an:•. ..no Rill tw in "Coppriia at ::u• Vi tional iiallet of Canada. 15 King St.E., Toronto from Feh.y to 13. , Photo by Cylla von Tiedemann).

AROUND HOME: The bitter weather pro- mpts the following advice for home owners who are into gardening and land- scaping. Use kitty litter instead of salt on ice patches. It's safer, more effective and won't affect lawns or flower borders. Those of you, who have fish ponds, should make certain the ponds don't freeze over. If they do, melt the ice with hot water. Don't break it with a ham- mer: you'll terrify the fish and could deafen them. If the snow where you live is clean t unlikely but possible), fill buckets with it, allow to melt and then use the melted snow to water new seedlings and house plants. COMMENT: The pseudo deification of supposed folk heroes con- tinues as it has through the ages. Visitors to South America are familiar with the huge photograph pain- tings of Che Guevara wear- ing a planter's hat on the back of his head. They have been retouched so as to make the mercenary ban- dit look almost angelic. In- deed. the hat has been air brushed to make it appear a halo! Now, we understand that in some quarters Martin Luther King is referred to as King :Martin. How long will it be, one wonders, before the fedora he is wearing in one of his How Stratford Festival Grew by Bob Watson Tom Patterson, founder of the Stratford Shakespearean Festival, w•as guest speaker at the Entrepreneur's Network Luncheon at the Sheraton Centre in Toronto last Wednesday. The luncheon is sponsored by Centennial College and the bank of Montreal. Mr. Patterson has won numerous awards for his work in getting Stratford into its festival concept. In dealing with the idea of entrepreneurship, the guest speaker told his au- dience that he looked up the definition of "en- trepreneur" in both the Ox- ford and Webster dic- tionanes and found that neither defined the word, in his opinion, accurately. He said that his view of an entrepreneur is one who gets an idea and puts it into reality. Really succeeding equals entrepreneur, Pat- terson said. Mr. Patterson said that when he went to Stratford, it was a hockey town with players like Howie Morenz, so he spent some time get- ting the festival going. He told his audience that when you get an idea, peo- ple can only say "yes 'no' or "maybe" -and you don't have to have a lot of money Mr. Patterson told many stones about the develop- ment of theatre in Stratford and how he managed to get things done. However, he added that the world is open to ideas and the enter- tairunent is booming and soon there is going to be a revolutionary time.

On Planning Vacations People planning spring break vacations want to know the full price of their holidays before signing contracts with travel agents. Experts at Ontario's con- sumer ministry say the great majority of agents have always tried to ensure the price they advertise is the before -tax price vaca- tioners will pay. But there have been exceptions. A new regulation, under the Travel Industry Act, will help make sure you know how much the holidav will cost when you book with a provincially registered agent. "The regulation, an- nounced last month, re- quires that media adver- tisements that refer to a price must state the full price of the package." says Michael Pepper. travel registrar at the Ministry of Consumer and Commercial Relations. The only exceptions are that transportation taxes and fees - departure taxes you pay at airports for ex- ample - and GST can be ad- ded on later. However, ads must make it clear whether or not these fees are includ- ed in the quoted price. In the past some con- sumers said thev were con- fused by ads that didn't make d clear which air carrier• hotel or travel wholesaler was involved with a trip. By law, these suppliers must now be identified. "But consumers should be aware that they are only protected by the Travel In- dustry Act when they deal with Ontario registered travel agents." says Pep- per. If the price of your holi- day increases by more than seven per cent, for ,iny reason except changes in government taxes i in- cluding allowed fuel sur- charges), you have the op- tion of cancelling the trip with a full refund• or if available, accepting other comparable travel ser- vices. It's also only by dealing with Ontario registered agents that consumers are protected by the Travel In- dustry Compensation Fund. Consumers who lose their deposits on holidays or are stranded while on vacation because a registered agency or wholesaler goes bankrupt or becomes insolvent can claim up to $3,50u per customer from this industry -sponsored fund. There is a $5 million limit on payments due to a single business failure, with an additional $2 million for repatriation of Ontario customers stranded out- side the province. Under the new regulation, if repatriation expenses are more than $2 million. preference will be given to returning stranded customers over compen- sating those who haven't travelled.

This play launches Carousel's 21st season of touring theatre into schools throughout Ontario. Canada T'rust's Friends of the Environment Foun- dation has provided major financial support for this tour by sponsoring perfor- mances of this play about the environment, for local schools in the area. With shrinking school budgets and dwindling government arts funding, this unique partnership between the theatre, the schools and the foundation will enable over 5,txlo On- tario school children the opportunity to participate and enjoy the play. "Dinosaurs and All That Rubbish" brings home in a very direct, simple and clear wav that we live on a planet of finite resources where all things are in- terdependent. It clearly teaches young children to support technology and science which benefits the whole planet and not humanity alone. There is no better way to get this message across to young children than through their direct participation in the play.
