Car Driving
by Bob Watson
Have you ever noticed the amount of local car drivers
who do not carry out the rules to make for good driving con-
ditions?
There's one error which many drivers commit and that is
not to turn their "left" or "right" turn indicators on so the
rest of us Hill know- what is going to happen. We believe that
a lot of new drivers don't believe that this is an important
element in good. safe driving. But it is and accidents can
happen if the car behind you is unaware of your next step.
Then there are those inconsiderate drivers who come up a
narrow 2 lane side street to make a left hand turn. Do they
keep to the left? No - they hog the centre of the road so that
the following wanting to go right has no space to pass.
The Ontario Government doesn't seem to be concerned
about these small acts of driving but we believe that correc-
tion of these matters would make driving safer for
everyone.

Money Buys Elections?
Dear Sir:
Those who claim that "money buys elections" will have a
hard time explaining the most recent Elections Canada
report.
The report. which reveals how much the various political
parties spent in last year's federal election, showed that the
election's biggest losers were also the election's biggest
spenders
The PCs spent $to million and won only two seats - which
works out to 55 million per seat' On the other hand,
Reformers won 52 seats after spending $1.5 million - which
works out to only $28,846 per seat.
It seems fairly obvious that monev does not buv elections.
Canadian voters are smart enough to base their voting
decisions on what is said by whom. not how much money a
candidate or party may spend spreading that message.
That'c why laws which restrict what political parties or

Ontario's NDP Government Action For Women
The NDP government is committed to breaking down the
barriers that have prevented women's full participation in
all facets of society. We are also working to change legisla-
tion, policies, and programs to ensure women can take their
rightful place in society. Some of our accomplishments for
women include:
Pay Equity
The Pay Equity Act has been expanded to include 420,000
more working women not covered in the previous legisla-
tion. We are spending $568 million to increase wages in
some of the lowest paid women's jobs.
Funding For Women's Centres
A local women's centre is often the first stop for a woman
who is leaving an abusive relationship, or trying to make
changes in her life. The NDP government created a $1
million stabilization program for 20 women's centres to en-
sure their continued service and advocacy for Ontario
women.
Protection for Homeworkers
Many jobs done in factories and offices are being moved
into private homes. Women who work in their homes are
isolated, often work on piece work and are among the most
vulnerable workers in our society. The NDP government
announced changes to the Employment Standards Act to
improve wages and working condition protection for
homeworkers.
More and Better Childcare
Working women need good quality and affordable
childcare. The NDP government is working on plans to
reform the chldcare system and making changes now.
10,000 new subsidized spaces have been created under the
JobsOntario training program. Since 1990, spending on
childcare has increased 45%. the largest increase in the
s}stem ever.
Gild and Family Support Plan
Some parents do not pay court ordered support payments
for their children. Thanks to the NDP government. child
and spousal payments are automatically deducted from the
pay cheques of employees ordered to pay family support.
We are making changes to the system to make sure
children get the support owed to them.
Preventing Vioieuce .against Wemen and (1lildren
Our government is committed to eradicating violertce.
This year over $99 million will be spent in programs which
range from services like shelters and sexual assault cen-
tres to improvements in the justice system and public
education campaigns. This is more than double what the
federal government spends for the whole country.
News From Ottawa
from Dan McTeague
MP Ontario Riding
Dan McTeague, M.P. Ontario Riding, supports draft
legislation introduced in the House of Commons on Apr. 21st
by the Hon. Allan Rock, Minister of Justice, which prohibits
the sale or distribution of serial killer trading cards and
serial killer board games to individuals under the age of
eighteen.
The draft legislationwill be studied by the Standing Com-
mittee on Justice and Legal Affairs. This will provide Cana-
dians with an opportunity to express their views on the
legislation before the committee reports back to the House
of Commons and the legislation is passed into law.
'-No responsible individual wants this type of product sold
to our youth. The action taken by the Justice Minister is a
positive step which will also assist in addressing related
issues such as violence in Canadian society, crime preven-
tion and youth crime," said McTeague.
'-A number of constituents in Ontario Riding have in-
dicated to me their disgust and concern over the sale of
serial killer cards and board games. These materials
glorify violent criminals and their brutal acts. I commend
the :Minister for introducing this legislation as i believe the
government must take measures to protect children and
youth from exposure to material which exploits violence,
cruelty and horror. I look forward to even more action be-
ing taken in the near future," concluded McTeague.

results as they call the
community centre "home.
The building is located at
1299 Ellesmere Road and

Wed. May 11, 1994 THE !NEWS/POST Page 5
Metro Council News
from Ken Morrish
Councillor Scarborough Highland Creek
now
As you know, when you received your last water bill, the
Scarborough Public Utilities Commission itemized that bill
for the first time. However it is unfortunate that the S.P.U.C.
did not attempt an explanation of this breakdown for their
water customers. By failing to provide one, it is apparent
that the S.P.U.C. caused considerable confusion for residents
of Scarborough. My office received over 50 calls in the first
two days and continues to receive daily inquiries from
residents after the bills were delivered. attempting to
determine the usefulness of this new information.
1 would like to take this opportunity to clarify this
breakdown for you and describe in some detail the water -
related costs passed on to you by Metropolitan Toronto. As
you will recall. the new information provided on your bill
contained the following:
For every $1 charged to a customer for water. the cost is
broken down in the following manner: Metro Pollution
Control Surcharge 50%: Cost of Water 27%: S.P.U.C. 23%.
Metro contends that this information is "erroneous and
could he misleading". Because the SPUC distribution system
experiences a 13 to 14 percent loss of water, it is inaccurate to
attach that loss to the Metro portion of the bill instead of their
own. If the losses experienced in the Scarborough system are
applied against the S.P.U.C. portion of the bill the breakdown
is as follows: '.Metro Pollution Control Surcharge 440(,: Cost of
Water ZM : S. P. U. C. M.
Nonetheless. the majority of the costs associated with your
bill are for metro services -for water supply and for sewage
treatment.
The metro Pollution Control Surcharge is Not A New Tax'
it is the cost of sewage treatment that you receive, and that is
calculated according to how much water you purchase or
tse. it is the largest part of the bill because it costs more to
treat our waste sewage water than it does to filtrate and
purify the water as it comes from Lake Ontario for human
consumption.
The SPAT C. has failed to point out that when you pay for
crater, you pay the costs associated with water use: the cosi
of filtration. pumping. watermains. trunk sewers and sewage
treatment. Even though we live next to the largest supply of
freshwater in the world, "borrowing" that water for our
purposes is not free in a sound and carinii environmentally
conscientious c mmunity.
it is my sincere hope that the information provided here
will held you understand how the entire water system works
and how much you pay for each component of this service.
We are continuing to strive to provide water at the lowest
possible cost. most equitable cosi allocation and mast
environmentally sound fashion.
If you have any questions or comments about this matter
please call me at my office 392-4055 or write me at Metro
Hall. 55 John Street. Suite 223, Toronto. Ont M5V 3016.

Food Banks Are Changing
b% Earl Johnston
Future food banks will be
doing more than just giving
away food. says Gerard
Kennedy, the executive
director of the Daily Food
Bank
..w'e're trying to change
the w•av food banl-u work..
Kennedy said during an in-
ter view.
When people go to food
banks for food. thea are
resorting to a temporary
solution. The underlying
problem for most is
unemployment. and that is
where we want to provide
more assistance. he said
Looking for a job can be a
very time-consurrng pro-
cess Some people cant
even afford public transit
and have to walk
everywhere. which means
they dont get to see too
man,. prospective
employers in a day. The
food bank want to make
telephones available. so
clients without convenient
phone access can make
calls to set up intemews
Some banks will even
have a fax machine. as
many businesses today
want to comunicate by this
method. After the food is
handed out. clients will be
able to linger and exchange
notes
"Seventy-five per cent of
the people going to food
banks have lost their jobs
since the recession began."
Kennedy said While
many of these have taken
go% ernment-sponsored
training courses. less than
3o% have found jobs.' he
cialms
B% making it easier for
people to contact prospec-
tive employers. it is
reasoned that more will
find jobs. and the demands
on the banks for food will
decrease.
Kennedy said the de-
mand for food has increas-
ed over the last two years
because of cut-backs in
welfare assistance
We've just been hang-
ing onwe've really been
overextended." he said.
The demand for food was
down m Februan . and the
situation appeared to be
coming under control. but
"there was a big jump in
Mfarch." he said.
The food banks have
limited resources and can
only do so much in helping
clients contact prospective
employers. Government
needs- to provide financial
assistance or transit passes
so people can get around.
Kennedy said.

Question: What organization
tackles trine successfully vet
costs no tax dollars to rung
Answer: Crime Stoppers,
Since its introduction to
Canada in 1982, Crime Stop-
pers has resulted in:
46,1100 arrests
76,000 cases closed
S88 million in property
recovered
$161 million in drugs
recovered.
-We've definitely seen the
impact that Crime Stoppers has
made in our community since
19813," says Ray Monette, a
Sales Representative with
The Co-operators and an ac-
tiveboard member for Kingston
and District Crime Stoppers.
"in this area we've had dra-
matic statistics for the first two
months of this year. For ex-
ample, last year we had a total
of 60 arrests - we've had 20 in
Jan. and Feb. already. In 1993
we recovered $07,000 in
stolen property - we are already
at S186,(W for 1994!"
Crime Stoppers began in
1976 in Albuquerque, New
Mexico when Detective Greg
Mac.Meese was investigating a
homicide. He could find no
evidence or other leads so he
appealed to the public for their
help. By offering a cash reward
and promising they would re-
main antonymous he thought he
might get more of a response.
Within hours he received a
South Cochrane and sur-
rouding areas.
Provincial President
Marie Locke of Camp-
bellford announced the for-
mation of a new primary
chapter, the Aurora-
Leksand, in Aurora, Ont. In
a portion of her message,
Mrs. Locke remarked that
IODE has maintained a
major focus on children
over the years.
With 1994 being
designated as The Year of
the Family, it was both fit-
ting and gratifying to note
the opening last fall of the
Provincial IODE Genetics
Research Centre at
Children's Hospital in Lon-
don. Ont. where families of
children with rare genetic
diseases are able to link
with similar families.
As well. the Centre pro-
vides professionals and On-
tario families with current
information on available
resources. Mrs. Locke ex-
pressed her warmest
thanks to members for
their generosity in the sup-
port of Genetic Medicine in
Ontario. Dr. Jack H. Jung,
Director, Universitv of
Western Ontario Regional
Medical Genetics Centre,
was the guest speaker dur-
ing the "Concern For
Children" Plenary Session.
Valerie Willard, 1st Vice -
President of the National
Chapter of Ontario [ODE.
installed the officers for the
sorting year during the
closing banquet. Entertain-
ment was provided by "Ex-
pressions" of the C.H. Nor-
ton School in Burlington,
Ont.

provided valuable
information and the two sus-
pects were traced, convicted
and sentenced.
And that's how Crime Stop-
pers was born. The effect of
Crime Stoppers on Al-
buquerque was dramatic - at the
time it was among the top 10
cities in crimes per capita in the
U.S. By 1979 it had fallen out
of the top I W.
The program has now spread
to more than 1.000 communi-
ties across North America, with
more than 90 organizations in
Canada.
Why is Crime Stoppers so
successful?
' Any member of the public
with information about past,
present or future crimes can
call a special hotline num-
ber, pass on the information
and remain totally anony-
mous.
' Callers need not give their
name or testify to court.
which means they don't
have to fear any reprisals
from the criminal.
' A cash reward is vrovided
for any information that
leads to an arrest, which pro-
vides a financial incentive to
report the crime.
' All the money for opera-
tions, including rewards, is
raised totally through in-
dividual or corporate dona-
tions. No tax dollars from
any level of government are
involved!
-Each region has its own
board of directors (made up of
concerned citizens) who are re-
sponsrbic for the administra-
tion, local fund-raising activi-
ties. control of funds, and pay-
ment of all cash rewards for
information," says Monette.
Student Crime Stoppers
To attack crime at its earliest
stages and to address the grow-
ing problem of violence in our
schools, Student Crime Stop-
pers is under way in some
Canadian communities. includ-
ing 127 of the junior and senior
high schools in Edmonton.
This program asks kids to
take charge of their own school
environment and do something
about the people who are
damaging their property, steal-
ing things and threatening stu-
dents. The philosophy is that the
offending student took some-
thing out of society and must
now put something back in.
Student Crime Stoppers
began in 1984 in Boulder,
Colorado. As many more
schools become interested,
National and Provincial Crime
Stoppers are working to ensure
all high school programs are
consistently run and managed.

Bill Watt's Worlds
ON YOUR TOES:
For the final program of
its Spring Season at The
O'Keefe the National
Ballet offered the world
pe7n ere of Glen Tetlev's
Oracle.
Mr. Tetley is now 68 and
well entitle to retirement
but one hopes this latest
work is not his last. While
acknowledging that artistic
success is a subjective
thing, The Column s opi-
nion is that Oracle is not
Mr. Tetlev's best to date.
Once aggain he has gone
to the we D of myth for his
inspiration. Oracle is f un-
damentally plotless but re-
examines the still widely
held belief that the origin
and continuation of univer-
sal life is matriarchal, not
patriarchal. He does so
with five women and five
men in a series of dances
intended to convey five of
the relationships that such
a Creator shares with
mankind - birth, initiation.

but, inspite ofythe sub1'ecf.

There seems, for example.
little of the fire that exists
in initiation consurniation.
Nor is there the wonder-
ment manifest in all birth.
Perhaps it's the too
sculptured choreography.
Perhaps it's the uninsphr-

works. M. Grand -Maitre is
either supremely arroant
or foolishly blind not to
realize how puny are his ef-
forts when compared to the
works of others who are so
clearly his superiors.
John Allevne's Split
House Geomefric, as noted
in earlier reviews• is a
piece of inconsequential
piffle undeserving of a
company's efforts.
The Strangeness of a

something a little less than
satisfaction.

After the current en age-
ment ends, The Na Tonal

season of performances in
Munich. Caesarea (its first
ever engagement in
Israel). Luxembourg and
The Hague.

anything but that.

he's not an Uncle Tom:
he's a man of innate digni

it once meant to be a bar

other such tomfooleries

piece of pure theatre.

much from The Admirable
Crichton, Ninotchka and
The Comedians. Presented
in the sing song, and

pleasurable comedy ex-

Adding to the comedy is
Ivor Picou as a silly ass

West End star Peter Karhe
will inherit the role of The
Phantom from Colm
Wilkinson in the long-
running Toronto produc-
tion of Andrew Lloyd Web-
ber's "The Phantom of the
Opera" at the Pantages
Theatre.
Mr. Karrie has the
distinction of having star-
red as The Phantom in the
London production of "The
Phantom of the Opera" for
two years and has guest -
starred in the Toronto pro-
duction on four previous oc-
casions. Teresa De Zarn
and Advid Rogers will con-
tinue in their co-starring
roles opposite Mr. Karrie
as Christine Daae and
Raoul. Vicomte de Chagny.
Mr. Karrie's formidable
stage presence and singing
voice have been showcased
in some of the most suc-
cessful productions in con-
temporary musical
theatre. In addition to The
Phantom, he kept au-
diences riveted for more
than two years at London's
Palace Theatre with his
portrayal of the heroic
lead, Jean Val jean, in Les
Mnserables. and gained fur-
ther international recogni-
tion and acclaim from his
other West End successes:
Che in the Andrew Lloyd
Weber: Tim Rice musical
Evita, the American in
Chess, and Judas in Jesus
Christ Superstar.
