122 ERB STREET WEST (b/t Westmount & King -- 15 min. walk)
 
I have one bedroom available in a large, clean, bright student
house. The room was just built in August, so it's in great          
condition (new carpet, new everything). There's a cable TV 
jack and a phone jack in the room. It's a basement room, but it
has a good window; and the whole basement has been/is being  
renovated (it'll be completely done by January).
                             
There's six students in the house, two kitchens and two bathrooms --
that's three people per kitchen and three per bathroom. Each kitchen
has a full-size microwave and the main kitchen (the one you'd use)
has a dishwasher.

Free laundry facilities. Free parking. Colour TV and VCR in the 
living room.

There's a brand-new gas furnace and large gas water heater.

Rent is $295 per month plus 1/6 utilities. Utilities are very
reasonable.

The landlord is a 3rd year UW student (that's me!). I know what
it's like to be a tenant, so I actually care about the quality of
accomodation that I'm offering.

No smoking or pets (well, OK, little pets are alright e.g., hamsters).

Date: Thu, 12 Nov 1992 23:20:07 GMT

Does anyone out there remember January 14th, 1992?

For those who don't, on that date a fairly intense blizzard hit K-W, the
first in years. It was on this date, and in the following weeks, that I
came to realize a great truth about the city of Waterloo.
They really don't care about the welfare of their citizens.

Let me explain. It took up to TWO WEEKS for all the roads to be cleared.
Even more damning, I never saw a single sidewalk plow. Not one. In fact, I
never saw one for the entire duration of the winter. 

I have previously lived in Bramalea, London, and Ingersoll. I have also
spent extensive amounts of time in Parry Sound and Sudbury. In all these
locales, I have observed sidewalk plows out at seven in the morning the
day after a significant snowfall. 

But not in Waterloo. I called the city last year, after slipping and
sliding my way along the sidewalks on University Avenue and King Street.
It might be noted that both these streets are major arteries; in my mind
there is no excuse for the state of their sidewalks last winter. 

I called the city, as I say, and all they would tell me is that it is the
landowner's responsibility to clear the sidewalks in front of his/her
home. I'm sure the elderly appreciate the city foisting this on them. For
that matter, I'm sure EVERYONE appreciates this back-breaking labour,
especially when the city DOES have sidewalk plows.

Yes, they do. They are used downtown, as far as I can tell. But I've yet
to see one outside the city core, which is disgusting, to say the least.

Last I checked, taxes are paid in this city. But even paying taxes doesn't
mean the city will take any interest at all in the well-being of its
inhabitants!

Get with it, Waterloo. Everyone else is far, far ahead of you in this regard.

(I am about to venture out into the pouring rain. The roads are flooded to
a depth of almost a foot in places, because the city hasn't bothered to
clear the leaves off the roads. Of course, the leaves shouldn't be
blocking the drains in the first place, but people were told to rake them
out on to the road for pick-up. More fuel for the fire.)

With the latest Cable increase, we've decided to look into alternatives.
One of the options that we're looking at is mounting an antenna on the

UHF channels from Buffalo (PBS on 17 and Fox on 29), I'm wary about whether 
or not it will be feasible to get these stations.  Will it work?  If not,
will I have any problems getting Toronto (VHF and UHF), Hamilton, and London?

Well, I'd rather shovel my sidewalks myself, rather than pay the city

else to do it, I can, and probably cheaper than paying the city to
pay someone for me.

I'm pretty sure that the city will shovel the sidewalks of those who
can't do it themselves (the elderly and physcially handicapped).
And I'm pretty sure it's a free service.  (See - the city does care.)

The City of Waterloo sends out big vacuum cleaners to suck up the leaves.
They come around on the same day as garbage pickup.  I've seen them for
at least the last three weeks.


It sounds as if you would prefer to pay higher taxes and receive more
services.  Some others would rather do a little more work themselves
and save $$.   There are benefits to both approaches.

Sure there's a plot: boy meets girl, everybody dies, boy and girl make

Most reviews of 1492, while praising the film as a spectacle, have
slighted its view of history. Here is one quote, from the Guardian
Weekly (1 Nov 92):

  "The film casts Columbus as a scheming, flawed, but fundamentally
humane explorer, who, having returned triumphant to Spain, watches as
his whole experiment in ruling goes disasterously wrong.
  "All praise to Scott for trying to tell the whole story and not
just the triumphant part of it. But substantial doubts remain which
have nothing to do with the physical quality of the film-making, but
with the whole conception of wooing audiences with this kind of
Herculean hero. Fibs, or at least fictionalization, abound, like the
idea that Spanish rapists would be whipped for their pains, that most
of the natives were extraordinarily charming children, and like the
slightly fey Columbus-Isabella passages and the idea that there was a
wicked nobleman out there in the Caribbean (Michael Wincott) undoing
all Columbus's good work.
  "The real problem is that though Scott has tried, often
successfully, to imagine what the Kingdom of Spain was like at the
time, he invests Columbus with too many contemporary tics in order to
make him appealing. He's like an ambitious but nice astronaut, bound
hand and foot by evil Washington schemers."

The Columbus Day issue of the weekly magazine The Nation (available in
Dana Porter) has several good articles on Columbus, including a guide
to the flood of books about Columbus. It explodes many myths, such as
the one about his searching for Asia (this appears to be a
rationalization after the fact; he was in fact obsessed with finding
new souls to convert to Catholicism to hasten the coming of the
Millenium). It's worth a look. --PR
