This year. more than
ever before. there has been
a major emphasis on
writing in Durham schools.
Process writing. which em-

with peers and teachers. is
seeing students writing on
a daily basis in many
classrooms and loving it.
Many schools are now
highlighting student
writing by having children
publish their stories in book
form.
Parents are encouraged
of talk to the staff at their
child's school to learn more
about process writing.

Q. I have read the phrase "sibylline books" but cannot
locate a definition. Can you help' A.N.
A. These are books written by Roman female prophets call-
ed Sibyls. The prophetesses• who existed in classical Greek
and Roman times• predicted disasters such as famine, war
and plagues.
According to legend• some of the predictions were written
in nine books which were offered for sale to Roman King
Tarquin. When he refused to pay the price• the seller• who
may have been the Sibyl of Cumae. destroyed three books.
She then offered to sell the remaining six books for the
original price. Again the King refused. In turn, she
destroyed three more books. Finally, the King bought the
last three books for the price the Sibyl had asked for all
nine.
In the following centuries, these three sibylline books
were consulted for guidance by the Roman leader
whenever war and disasters struck.
Q. Why are fingerbowls not used when you dine with British
Royalty" M.McK.
A. It seems that back in the days when many people in
England considered the exiled Catholic Stuarts the rightful
claimants to the throne, they would drink the Royal toast in
a special way. They held their glasses over the fingerbowls
and so were symbolically drinking to "the king over the
water", meaning "across the sea". It was considered an
act of treason then• and it is still not proper to have finger -
bowls when the King or Queen is present at dinner.

Community
Use Of
Schools
Durham Board of Educa-
tion schools work overtime
to meet the needs of the
community. Gone are the
days when schools shut
their doors as the last stu-
dent left at the end of the
day. Now you can drive
past your neighbourhood
school almost any evening
or weekend and see lights
shining and people coming
and going.
It's called Community
Use of Schools, and it's
costing the Durham Board
almost $500,000 annually.
Noreen Bodnar, the
board's community Use of
Schools Co-ordinator, mat-
ches people with schools,
and it's a full-time job.
"From dancing classes to
church services, from cubs
and brownies to commurui-
ty basketball teams, we ac-
commodate them all," she
says.
Users of Durham schools
are divided into three train
categories. ,lass A - Com-
mercial, Class B - private
social and recreational
groups, and Class C -free
use groups. Class A users
include local business
groups and community
enterprises such as dance
and exercise classes and
production companies
presenting plays and
musicals.
Because they chartie a
fee for their services, they,
in turn, are charged fees
for the school space they
utilize. Since September,
1986, 23 commercial groups
have rented space from the
Durham Board at a cost of
almost $10,000.
Class B users, the private
and social recreational
groups such as community
basketball and volleyball
leagues, craft guilds and
Church groups, are charg-
ed partial fees. "Use of
school equipment, such as
nets and standards, has to
be arranged with in-
dividual schools and its
availability is subject to
the quantity and quality in
the schools' supply," ex-
plains Noreen.
To date, 346 such groups
are utilizing Durham
schools, mostly on a weekly
basis. paying just over
$106,000 of the approx-
imately $222,000 it is
costing the board to pro-
vide evening and weekend
use of their facilities.
Class C. or weekday free
use groups. include the
YMCA and YWCA, Recrea-
tion Departments in
Oshawa, Ajax and Picker-
ing who allow reciprgcal
free use of town facilities
such as pools and arenas,
and the Girl Guides and
Boy Scouts of Canada.

On Being Canadian
by Bob Watson
This is the 40th anniversary of the establishment of a
Canadian citizenship in this land of ours. On Jan. 1st 1947
the Canadian Citizenship act was proclaimed but up until
then those of us who were born in Canada and wanted
desperately to be "Canadian" were constantly referred to
as "English" or "Scottish" or "Irish" or "Ukrainian" etc.
Your writer was fresh back from World War II when Prime
Minister Louis St. Laurent passed the citizenship act and he
gave us a chance to establish that we Canadians were not
just "colonials" but we had a nation and we were different
in many ways from even Americans.
For about 20 years of our citizenship most people got used
to the fact that we were Canadian but then a massive wave
of immigrantion during the Trudeau years seems to have
put the word "Canadian" back in time again and people
were referring to their children as "Greek". "Italian'.
"East Indian" etc. We seem to be trying to establish our
citizenship all over again - and it is very annoying to those
of us who are five generations Canadian'
Of course, our federal governments over the last 20 vears
have downgraded the title -Canadian- and replaced it. it
seems to us.with the nice new word "Multicultural", mean-
ing. apparently. that we are back to the -hyphenated Cana-
dian" idea again.
In our opinion, it is high time and greatly overdue that we
begin to place the idea of "Canadian" above that of
"Multicultural" and get this country's inhabitants bursting
with pride at this beautiful and best land in the world' Some
cultural groups look on people who say they are
..Canadian" as something less than equal to them. Let us
declare today - this year - that Canadian is the best and we
have paid our price to the world in many ways to be equal to
anv nation on earth.
If the Mulroney government wants to establish a solid
mark in history fo us Canadians. it will promote and en-
courage newcomers to our shores to become Canadian in
not only a citizenship certificate but also Canadian in feel-
ing. in pride and in enthusiasm.
We suggest that during this Citizenship Week we Cana-
dians celebrate our good fortune to be part of this great
cnuntry - and let's keep up the Canadian feeling all year'
Congratulates Horrox
Dear Sir:
We should congratulate David Horrox and those
members of our Board of Education who voted dawn the sil-
ly suggestion that a Scarborough school should be named
after Mohanldas Gandhi.
Naming a Scarborough school after Gandhi, the notorious
opponent of western academic education• would be about as
sensible as expecting the Russians to name a hockey arena
in Moscow after Harold Ballard.
Let's name our schools after people who did something
for Canada. Perhaps we could start with winners of the %'ic-
toria Cross.
Yours very truly.
Llew Chambers
Is Appalled
Urn writing with respect to Bob Watson's editorial ruder
"Opinion'- in the Apr. 1st Agincourt News - "Whv Special
Rights".
Frankly. I am appalled at the attitude displayed by the
writer of that article. He talks about "rights". Should not
the original inhabitants of this country have the right, or
even an opportunity, for a decent livelihood, a reasonable
education, an optimistic future and ves, even an opportuni-
ty for self-respect without being forced to give up their
ancestral culture and accept hand-outs from the white man.
Do you call those special favours'
Let's face it - the white man, when it suited him, has been
somewhat less than fully committed to the fulfillment of the
treaty rights of the Indian peoples.
You say you don't believe that most Canadians have
thought about this whole issue. I would strongly suggest
that Mr. Watson be the first to do some thinking, combined
with some serious reading. on the subject and return, in due
course, to write a more sensible and less prejudiced
editorial.

Easter Customs Around TLe World
Boys chasing girls is a sure sign of spring. But if they're
dousing the girls with perfumed water and the girls reward
them with decorated eggs, it's Easter Monday in Hungary.
..There are almost as many Eastertirne customs as there
are countries' % says Rae Thompson of Hallmark Cards.
Canada's best known greeting card company.
In the Netherlands. for example, boys and girls celebrate
Holy Thursday by carolling from door to door as they beg
for Easter eggs -
In Austria, farmers gather in town and groom their
horses for Osterritt, an Easter ritual on horseback believed
to enrich harvests.
L'krainniaris sometimes hide decorated Easter eggs in
thatched roofs and under haystacks. The hidden eggs are
believed to be charmed protection against high winds.
"Of all Easter customs, one of the most spectacular is the
rolling of flaming Easter wheels in Lugde, West Germany"
Thompson says.
At Easter huge oaken wheels, six -to -eight -feet across, are
stuffed with straw, trammed with greenery and taken to the
top of "Easter Hill", a hill on the outskirts of town. At dusk,
while villagers gather in the valley below, the wheels are
set afire and sent spinning. "To the cheering spectators,
each wheel that reaches the valley is a lucky sign", Thomp-
son, says.
In Canada, as in many western countries, Easter is
celebrated by colouring eggs, wearing new clothes, gather-
ing for church services and sending Easter cards. The
Easter egg hunt and the family meal are important
elements of the Canadian Easter tradition. Hallmark
research indicated that more than 13 million Easter cards
are expected to be given in Canada this year, and about a
billion eggs will be coloured throughout North America.

Bob's Notes
Life Program Celebrates Births
Spring seems an appropriate time of the year to celebrate
the births of 72 "test-tube" children born as a result of the
LIFE (In Vitro Fertilization) Program at Toronto East
General Hospital. That's what the five gynaecologists and
to rnerous staff members of the program think as they look
back on the first four years, since the Program's inception.
It is almost like inviting the grandchildren back for a fami-
ly reunion'
On Sat. Apr. 25th, the babies and their parents will gather
at the Prince Hotel. 900 York Mills Rd. in Don Mills between
11 a.m. and 2 p.m. as the guests of the LIFEm.
Some of them are already fast friends as the result
shared experience.
The LIFE Program, considered by many to be the finest
in Canada. has achieved an astounding pregnancy rate of
35% over the past year. Couples from around the world
come to the LIFE Program seeking help in their attempts
to conceive a child. Most have exhausted all other avenues
of treatment. turning to the relatively new procedure of in
vitro fertilization.
The procedure involves removing an egg from the
mother, fertilizing it in a laboratory with the husband's
sperm, and replacing it in the mother's uterus where it will
continue to develop normally. The name LIFE stands for

Your Dining & Entertainment Guide
Bill Watt's Worlds
AT THE OPERA:
Like a food stain on a
damask table cloth at a for-
mal dinner, one thing keeps
the Canadian Opera Com-
pany's production at The
O'Keefe of Adriana
Lecouvreur from being a
complete triumph. Let us,
however, admire our
metaphoric table setting
before examining the spot.
We are told that this
opera by Cilea is not often
performed - certainly it's
unfamiliar to your scribe -
and one wonders why. It
has all the ingredients ( not
intended metaphorically)
of a fine opera; an adult
story line of love and in-
trigue, impassioned and
passionate personages and.
above all else, a glorious
score that clearly inspires
singers and most certainly
thrills audiences.
The name in the title is
that of an actual actress
who lived in the late 17th
and early 18th centuries in
France. After a dreadful
early life she achieved
fame and renown and, best
of all, the love of a good
man only to die tragically
because of that love.
Dame Joan Sutherland
portrays Adriana
Lecouvreur and one is hard
pressed to determine
whether she is most im-
pressive as an actress or as
a singer. Her voice. even
with the slightest of hesita-
tion in the upper registers,
is still the finest on the
opera stages of the world
today.
Equally impressio
though, is her acting abili-
ty. Passion, for example, is
not the most difficult of
challenges for an actress
but the portrayal of simple
delight is and Dame Joan
does it to perfection.
One thinks of the last act
when, virtually dying
lost love, she is visited by
her friends from the stage.
The little girl pleasure
displays - and remember
that Dame Joan is quit
statuesque - quite moo
the viewer and listener.
We understand that M
Sutherland wishes to re
from opera and one sup-
poses
poses she will do so whit
her voice is still the ma-
jestic instrument that it is.
Dare one hope, however,
that she will consider
straight acting. What
waste it would be if such
talent is not offered.
While still with opera, le
us ir
express our admati
at the manner in which
extends those singing wi
her. Mezzo-soprano Lo
Myers has a superb vol
made even better in he
scenes with Miss
Sutherland.
Miss Myers is her arch
rival la Princesse d
Bouillon (no, we're no
making this up). Th
both love the same man
the love of the actress
pure, even pristine; th
love of the princess is pas
sionte, with hate alwa
simmering just below love
Together these two firm
singers create stag
magic.
As the mutual love of
two, tenor Alberto Cupid
(again, we're not makin
up these names) is almos
muted. Oh, he has a f'
voice but it is really n
match for those of the tw
women.
Rather more successf
is reliable baritone Co
nelis Opthof as Michonne
an old friend of Adria
who loves her but realizes
he can't have her. A most
winning performance and
sung with as much intensi-
ty as the role allows.
John Copley directs well,
the chorus is wondrous as
always and the production
is absolutely sumptuous.
Now then, what about the
one flaw? Well, we dislike
writing this but Richard
Bonynge as conductor is
riot the best friend of this
production. He is a superb
conductor and one is awed
at the wonderful sound he
elicits from the orchestra
at his command. He seems.
however, to have forgotten
that one goes to opera to
hear the singers as well as
the orchestra. Frequently
one had to struggle to hear
some of them.
In fact, we overheard one
patron wondering aloud if
he and his wife had had a
bit of a tiff. One can unders-
tand such a query. Each
time that Miss Sutherland
started to sing, the or-
chestra swelled rapturous-
ly but so much so that her
glorious voice was not
heard to its best advan-
Enthusiasm is one thing
Mr. Bonynge but let's not
be carried away.
And, do not let our
criticism of the conducting
take away from the glories
of this production of
Adrian Lecouvreur. If you
should however, be unfor-
tunate enough to miss it, be

If there is a premise, we
couldn't detect it. The two

es far from winning and the
denouement, for want of a
Miss better word, is almost
tie frightening.
up Leon and Midge are oc-
togenarians. The former is
an unreformed radical, an
interfering busybody and a
compulsive liar. The latter
is an unreformed or, at
a least, unchanged Uncle
a Tom.
They share a park bench
t in New York's Central
on Park. At the end of the
she play, each has been beaten
th and, or mugged, Midge -
Lorna almost blind - has lost his
voice janito-'al job of forty
r years, Leon is preparing to
toddle off to an afternoon at

t from a drug pusher to
Though whom she owes money and
both are reconciled to the
L, fact that they will have to
e pay even more daily money
to a punk to ensure that
ys they get home safely.
Surely, this is not the
stuff of which good plays
e are made. Yet, playwright
Herb Gardner has imbued
the it with a certain something
o that turns it into a bit of a
g gem.
t Perhaps, it is his tren-
chant insights into those
o things that give a quality to
o life. Leon, at one point
declaims, "Who needs
ul sight when you have vi-
n- sion?" and when complain-
t, ing of society's approach to
Adrian;
the elderly, he lists all the
things that they can be call-
ed but end with "Don't call
us Unnecessary!"
Perhaps the roles
themselves are conducive
to good theatre. Most cer-
tainly it is a challenge to
make two such types at-
tractive.
Paul Soles approaches
brilliance as Leon. Not only
has he mastered the tricky,
lower class New York ac-
cent, he has also achieved
the look of the elderly
without resort to cliche
type movements. We think
of the way he leans on his
cane and trembles. . not
mightily but just enough to
make one think he is trying
to hide it. Superb
characterization.
Leon Bibb as Midge over-
comes the Uncle Tomism
of his written character
and makes him into
something almost like a
hero. Watch for the im'-
dent when as a reluctant
"Missouri Jack" for Leon's
Mafia Don impersonation.
he pulls a knife and faces a
vicious mugger. How the
late Willie Best must have
wished for a role like that.
Well done Mr. Bibb.
Indeed, all the roles are
played well and while we
admit we have not always
been impressed by the
directing of Guy Sprung.
we must extend kudos for
his job on and with I'm Not
Rappaport. He has
foregone his usual flash in
favour of honest movement
and proper motivation and
done well by the
playwright's intentions.
The other roles are over
powered by those of the
principals but there is
value in them all and that
value is nicely displayed by
all.
Kathy Michael McGlynn
in what must be her first
non singing role in a long
time is quietly effective as
Leon's long suffering
daughter. She is New York

daughter. Think about it.
Murray Crutchley as a
well intended yuppie is a . .
well, he's a well intended
yuppie.
Mark Danton and Paul
Hubbard as a punk and a
drug pusher respectively
are frightening and Mary
Ellen Maguire as the ter-
rorized girl is all that the
role calls for.
The title doesn't really
have anything to do with
the play except that it is
from an old Smith and Dale
vaudeville routine that
Leon used to use to amuse
his daughter when she was
a little girl. So now you
know.
And, now you know that
I'm Not Rappaport is a
good play and that you
should see it. Mark our
words however; after
you've seen it you'll still be
wondering, as we are, just
why it's so good. Mahzel

Alluring Xaviera Away
On Audubon Adventure
As part of its continuing
commitment to the preser-
vation and conservation of
rare animal species, the
Metro Toronto Zoo has ar-
ranged to send one of its
female Aldabra tortoise's,
Xaviera, to the Audubon
Park and Zoological
Gardens in New Orleans,
Louisiana, on a two year
breeding loan on Apr. 21.
The Aldabra tortoise is
one of the largest on earth.
These huge tortoises can
weigh up to 182 kilos, grow
day with a story -teller nar-
rating some of the popular
stories.
Exotic and colorful
breeds of rabbits, such as
Flemish Giant, English
Spot, Satin, French Lop
and many others will be ex-
hibited on Sunday by their
breeders.
Bring your own pet rab-
bit for judging in different
categories, including best

fined to one small island,
Aldabra, located off the
east coast of the African

astonishing rate for food. It

d1Qenoir; species of tortoise
which were hunted to ex-
tinction in this way.
Following this, Europeans
introduced dogs. cats, rats,
pigs and goats, which
either ate the tortoises'
vegetation or their eggs.
These days the island is
constantly threatened with
development. As a result
the Aldabra tortoise is now
considered to be 'threaten-
ed'.
Giant tortoises are very
difficult to breed in zoos, in
fact it has only been done a
few times before. once by
the Curator at the Audubon
Park and Zoological
Gardens with whom the
present loan was arranged.
Xaviera was chosen to
make the trip because she
is a mature female who ap-
pears to be more alluring to
her male companions than
Metro Toronto Zoo's other
females.
The females at the
Audubon Park and
Zoological Gardens are
still immature; in addition,
it is thought that male
Aldabra tortoises seem to
prefer a new face.
While the idea of pro-
moting romantic interludes
among these ponderous
giants may seem ludicrous,
it's not only the 'endearing'
animals like the giant pan-
da which risk extinction, it
is also animals such as the
homely, lumbering, slow -
as -molasses Aldabra tor-
toises which are in danger
of disappearing entirely -
and international
cooperative brreeding pro-
grams like this one may be
their only hope of survival.
Officials at both the
Metro Toronto Zoo and at
the Audubon Park and
Zoological Gardens are
keeping their fingers cross-
ed that in the spring, the
Aldabra tortoises' fancy
will turn to love.

® HEALTH REPORT
Poor Health Influences Emotions
(Part I of 3 parts
-Almost any type of medi-
cal condition has some emo-
tional impact," says Dr.
Gary Snow, Psychologist.
Sunnybrook Medical Cen-
ter, Toronto.
Dr. Snow is investigating
the effect of stroke on an
individual's mental health.
He has found that many
become worried about their
future, physical abilities and
limitations, and can suffer
severe depression.
Sexual Fears
One common anxiety
concerns sexual perfor-
mance. Reports Dr. Snow,
Any kind of brain impair-
ment, such as stroke dam-
age, will affect sexual
functioning, both mentally
and physically. For example,
paralysis might reduce a per-
son's
er-
son s sensitivity to touch and
ability to maintain an
erection."
Anxiety is so prevalent
that few heart attack patients
resume normal sexual be-
haviour even though they
may be physically capable,
according to Dr. Patricia
DeFeudis, Health Psycholo-
gist, Credit Valley Hospital,
Mississauga, Ont. She says,
"In many cases, the individu-
al or spouse is afraid sexual
activity will trigger a heart
attack."
Change in Work Status
Studies indicate the aver-
age age of stroke victims is
between 71 and 74 years,
according to Dr. Snow.
However, when a person
suffers a stroke in his! her
sixties, this can mean an
early retirement and a severe
reduction in family income.
Not only will the family's
ability to meet current needs
be affected, but also, its reali-
zation of future dreams.
"What happens to the annu-
al vacations and outings to
movies and restaurants"
These are real concerto that
have tremendous impact on
peoples' lives; reports Dr.
Snow.
Priorities Change
Dr. DeFeudis has found
the experience of a life -death
situation makes heart attack
patients evaluate their priori-
ties. She says, -Patients think
about developing hobbies
and spending more time with
the family."
Individuals who have suf-
fered a severe stroke may not
be able to do certain activi-
ties. As a result, sonic pro-
jects may have to be
postponed and sone may
never be completed. "These
kinds of realizations can be
overwhelming," Dr. Snow
says.
Relationships Change
When an individual
suffers a stroke or heart at-
tack, the entire family is af-
fected. "All of a sudden, they
realize how much that indi-
vidual means to them.- states
Dr. Snow. -In some cases,
the family must take on
some of the patient's respon-
sibilities. This can be pretty
difficult for the patient to
accept, especially when it is
compounded by mid-life
crises."
As a result of the situation,
patients' perception of them-
selves and others frequently
changes. They feel vulner-
able. And while this feeling
can he pronounced during
the hospital stay, it does not
always lessen during the re-
cuperation at home. Patients
worry about the changes in
the lives of those around
them, as well as in
themselves.
Next Week:
Heart Attack patients can

Eakins, Ontario Minister of
Tourism and Recreation.
Over the next few weeks
Ontario badminton and
table tennis athletes and
coaches will go to Chia,
while Chinese swimmers
and track athletes visit On-
tario.
"This is the first time On-
tario has officially spon-
sored amateur athlete
visits to China," said
Eakins. "It's the kind of
program that is essential to
the development of interna-
tional competitors in the
province. China's reputa-
tion in table tennis and bad-
minton is well known. so
we're sending over athletes
and coaches to train and
compete with some of the
best in the world, as China
will be doing when they
send swimmers and track
and field youngsters here."

R. P. Sinclair, Manager
at FBDB's Scarborough
Branch, quoted the survey,
showing an average of 2.2
new jobs for each loan by
the bank this year in On-
tario.
The 3,300 jobs in Ontario
are among 12,500 forecast
for all of Canada among
FBDB borrowing
customers this year, or 2.3
new jobs per loan on
average nationally.
The figures are "an-
nualized" ( based on April -
October statistics) and are
part of a survey by an in-
dependent research firm
commissioned by FBDB,
Mr. Sinclair said.
The sury ey also shows
customers receiving FBDB
term loans in 1984 have
created m5oo net new jobs
since then. That's more
than twice as man) as the
borrowers forecast at the
time. Even more encourag-
ing. V percent of the 1964
clients expect to be able to
open up another 4.800 new
job ulthe coming
year.
The survey also asked
1984 borrower firms bow
many of their employees
are less than 25 years old.
The answer: 26 percent, or
five percent more than the
21 percent of young
waters in Canada's labour
face as a whole.

An afternoon spent browsing
around garage sales or auctions
can uncover some great bar-
gains in old furniture and col-
lectables. But buying second-
hand electrical appliances is
often another story. They may
not be electrically safe.
New appliances have a Cana-
dian Standards Association
(CSA) seal of approval as an
assurance of electrical safety.
Although a used appliance may
display the label, it may no
longer live up to CSA safety standards.
Any used appliance you buy should
be inspected by a qualified
electrician before you use it. An abused
appliance or one with a frayed cord or
faulty wiring is dangerous—and that's
more than you bargained for.

Scott Fennell M.P.

In this day and age, there are many families where both
parents work to support their family as well as single
parents looking after the children. Because of this, the
question of day care must be addressed.
On Mar. 30th, the Martin Report on Child Care was tabled
in the House of Commons. The Special Committee on Child
Care spent nine months travelling across Canada to deter-
mine the opinions of all Canadians on day care. The com-
mitte found that Canadians do not want a universal day
care system as they realise the enormous costs involved for
all Canadians.
Lower and middle-income families agreed that they want
government assistance for child care, but they want this
assistance with as little government interference as possi-
ble. The committee established key recommendations in
their report and they are as follows:
- A new child care expense tax credit to replace the existing
child care expense deduction. This would provide fairer tax
treatment for families, providing more assistance than at
present to lower income families.
- Operating grants for licensed child care services to im-
prove the quality of existing services without raising fees.
- Grants to stimulate development of new day care spaces.
- Business must also share in the responsibility through ex-
tended maternity and paternity benefits.
- Significant improvements to UIC and maternity and
paternity benefits, including more flexibility and a longer
benefit period.
- A child tare tax credit for all families with preschool
children, even where one parent stays home to raise a fami-
lyMy feelings are that it would be better to reform the tax
system so that it would be attractive for one spouse to stay
at horse with their children. should they so desire. I believe
that day care is a family issue and that both parents should
take responsibility in raising their children.
The creation of a registered maternity benefits plan,
designed like the registered retirement savings plan, would
allow tax-free saving to pay for the expense of having a
baby. In this way, it would compensate parents who stay at
home for their children's preschool years. I think there is a
growing awareness of the benefits of a parent who chooses
to stay at horne with the children
