The Ontario government is attempting to do just that. following an evaluation of the treatment of low back pain This report, commissioned by the Ontario Ministry of Health. as an independent study. was conducted by Dr. Pran Manga, internationally recognized health economist and former Director General of the Health and Social Policy Directorate The study states: "there is an overwhelming hodv of evidence indicating that chirr4wactic management of low back pain is more colt effective than medical management. We reviewed numerous studies that range from ven, persuasive to convincing in support of this argument. The lack of any convincing argument or evidence to the contrary must be noted and is significant to us in forming our conclusions and recommendations." Manga suggests a restructuring of the treatment of low back pain would result in potential savings of: "many hundreds of millions annually iin Ontario alonet if the management of low back pain was transferred from physicians to chiropractors." Among others. the direct and indirect savings from chiropractic treatment are a result of a highly significant reduction in: chronic problems: levels and duration of disability: hospitalizations: and missed work. Can the government of Ontario afford not to consider such findings' These conclusions are especially significant given the pervasiveness and prevalence of low back pain in our society. Dr. Gordon Wadell. a prominent medical researcher and orthopaedic surgeon describes this phenomena: "low back pain is now the second most common cause of disability after cardiovascular disease. t ... i we are now facing an epidemic of low back disability in all western societies and News From Ottawa from Dan McTeague MP Ontario Riding Introduces Bill On Members' Pensions Dan McTeague.

"Notwithstanding. the commitment the government has made to reform pensions for former Members of Parliament. Canadians want action taken on this contentious issue.

As a government member. 1 hope the Bill will assist in maintaining the momentum that has been built across Canada for real reform to the present pension format. Members' pensions have to he brought in line with those which exist in the private sector and the sooner this happens the better." said McTeague. "This Bill. entitled An Act to Amend the Members of Parliament Retiring Allowances Act. prohibits former Memhers of Parliament from collecting pensions while employed by the Government of Canada. This would eliminate the so-called practice of double dipping. The Bill also prevents former members from receiving a pension until they are sixty years of age and had served at least three consecutive terms with a minimum of ten years consecutive service. Currently. members with six years of service are immediately eligible for a pension. regardless of their age. upon ceasing to he a member In addition, beneficiaries of a deceased former member who died hefore age sixty would not he able to receive pension benefits until the former member would have reached that age." said McTeague.

Manga agrees: -either or both the medical profession and third party payers of medical care ought to justify how and why so many medical technologies and procedures used in the medical management of low back pain get adopted so widely, without clinical evidence of their effectiveness." The most promising aspect of the report is its recognition of current inequities in chiropractic care. O.H.i.P. covers just 119.6.5 (le—,s than 3D%) of each chiropractic visit. Clients must pay approximately $16 per treatment out-of-pocket This means that those with low incomes face harriers to receiving the most effective treatment for low back pain. if chiropractic were a drug that saved the province of Ontario "hundreds of milhom of dollars annually" and was the most effective treatment available. would it effectively be withheld from the public' For this and other reasons. Manga strongly recommends full O. H.I.P. coverage for chiropractic care. This report was funded by the Ontario government for the purpose of saving health care dollars. The results are clear. It is now up to government officials to implement these powerful recommendations. We can no longer support policies which cost the system more and limit public access to a treatment proven most effective for low back pain.

Apr.24th, American Soldiers from Old Fort Niagara, Youngstown New York, British and Canadian Military Re-enactment Groups and a native speaker will bring to life the Toronto Historical Board's Battle of York Commemoration on Sun. Apr. 24, at Historic Fort York. Everyone is invited to join this commemoration of one of Torontos most significant events - "The Battle of York". This year marks the 181st anniversary of this War of 1812 event. During this event the guards of Old Fort Niagara will raise the American flag to signify the American occupation of York. This flag is a new reproduction of the "Stars and Stripes" which was taken at Fort Niagara in December 1813 when the British captured that fort. It was presented this year to Old Fort Niagara by Consul -General Robert B. Mackenzie, on behalf of the Office of the Canadian Consul -General in Buffalo, New York and the British Consulate in New York City.

Menopause by Dr. Renee Chouinard Obstetrician and Gynecologist Scarborough General Hospital Menopause is that time in a woman's life characterized by complete cessation of menses. This occurs when the ovaries have stopped producing estrogen and pro- gesterone. The estrogen deficiency associated with menopause. although a normal physiologic event, has been blamed for the occurrence of several short term and more important ling term consequences. Their immediate short term ef- fects are "hot flashes", insomnia. vaginal dryness. urinary frequency, mood disorders. etc. It is well recognized that giving worsen "estrogen" will very effec- tively help alleviate these symptoms. Of greater health concern, however, are the long term effects of estrogen deficiency - osteoporosis and heart disease - as these two conditions impact tremendously on the quality of life and overall life expectancy of worsen. The major cause of osteoporosis in worsen is the estrogen deficiency of menopause. Women with osteoporosis are at increased risk of fracturing their wrists. vertebral bodies, and hips. In fact, in Canada, a minimum of 1 in 4 women over the age of 50 will experience a significant osteoporosis related fracture. The best treatment for osteoporosis lies in its prevention. Avoiding tobacco and alcohol, engaging in some form of weight-bearing exercise regularly. and ensuring a daily intake of calcium of at least 1,000 grams is certainly desirable, but unfortunately not sufficient to prevent osteoporosis in most women. Hormone Repiac+ement Therapy ( HRT ) with estrogen,an the other hand, has been shown to significantly decrease post -menopausal bone kiss, thereby resulting in a 50% decrease in osteoporosis related fractures. Heart disease is the No.1 killer of post -menopausal women. In the post -menopausal years, not only will one in six women die of heart disease, but one in three women will also suffer from its symptoms. The mortality rate due to heart disease is about four times that due to en- dometrial (uterus) and breast cancer combined. In- terestingly , many studies are now showing that the pro- longed use of HRT in women can potentially reduce the in- cidence of heart disease by about 40%. There are unfortunately some concerns about HRT, the two main ones being endometrial cancer and breast cancer. It is felt that the risk of endometrial cancer is not increased if a woman with an intact uterus is given an estrogen pill and a progesterone pill.The issues surroun- ding HRT and breast cancer remains less clear, but most experts, at the present time, would agree that HRT in itself does not significantly increase a woman's risk of developing breast cancer. Although there appears to be very strong and convincing evidence to support the use of HRT for all post- menopausal women, there are many who will choose not to take HRT for very valid personal reasons -- fear of cancer, overall skepticism, and unwillingness to resume periodic uterine bleeding. We should endeavour to provide correct up-to-date information from the scientific literature to all women so that they, in turn, can make an informed choice about this very important health matter. SCARBOROUGH GENERAL - HOSPITAL recently discovered in Scotland in the possession of the descendant of the General whose troops captured it 180 years ago.

After a valiant defence by 650 British regulars, local militia and Ojibway and Mississauga warriors, Fort York and the town fell. A week long American occupation followed the battle, marred by the looting of private homes. the burning of the parliament buildings, and the destruction of public stores. Though the attack was heralded as an American victory, it fell short of its primary goal - namely the seizure of British naval vessels in the town. One ship escaped before the battle, the other, the "Sir Isaac Brock", was burned by the British during their retreat. The following year. 1814, saw a British counter-attack against the American capitol of Washington. There, government buildings, including the White House, were burned in retaliation for the attack on York and other targets. Need Extra Income? 51500 monthly Stuffing envelopes at home - start today.

Students Raise Money For The Hungry by Rachel Maclean The situation of the hungry in the developing world is one neglected or forgotten by many. For some of the students of West Hill, however, it is something given a lot of thought during the 30 hours that they went without food for World Vision's Thirty Hour Food Famine. On Apr. 14 and 15, over 120 students from West Hill C.I. participated in their second annual fundraiser for World Vision Canada. 1(n addition to money raised through sponsorship by family, friends and neighbours, the famine also raised awareness and attention to the problem. "That is extremely impor- tant," says co-ordinator Vinita Dubey, "especially when everyday 600 million children go hungry." The work of World Vision Canada is used to raise money for emergency relief and development planning in two thirds of the world: in such coun- tries as Brazil, Ethiopia, Haiti and to help support shelter for those homeless in Calgary. Although atten- tion for the problem of the two third worlds may waver, the need for help never does. In most of these nations, $200 can pro- vide four families with emergency food, medical care and seeds to grow food. The support from the school and community of West Hill has been tremen- dous. This year the number ,of participants has doubled and the money raised ap- pears as if it too has doubl- ed from $2000 raised last year to the goal of $4000 this year. The fast which included a night of games, sports and group activities was ended CITY OF SCAR SOROUG H Notice Of A Public Meeting Re: New Holding Policies For The Official Plan - W94007 Scarborough Council will be holding a public meeting to consider a proposed Amendment to its Official Plan.

The TV adaption, starring Maximillian Schell, Maureen Stapleton, Amanda Plummer and Kvra Sedgwick, garnered four Emmy awards, including Best TV Film of the Year. The story revolves around two sisters, one a recent immigrant from Poland, the other raised in America, who are reunited after World War II and discover the common bond of their beritage. The playwright, Barbara Lebow, explores universal issues of sisterhood, assimilation. family bonding and responsibility and examines the meaning of kinship. It is a play about the power of love to mend, heal and bind. "Survival and the importance of family are two of the themes which run through this play. They both have personal significance for me. It is a story rich in character and relationship that is emotional, entertaining and timely. I believe it will be a moving and tactile experience for the audience." says Waxman, who just recently cast the show.

Anniversary For Amadeus Choir The Amadm Choir is presenting Mendesoh lsn's m triuphant oratorio. "Elijah" in celebration of 20 years of singing. Musical director Lydia Adams and the 115 voices of the ou w Amadeus Chill be joined by four world- renowned soloists and accompanied by full orchestra. The Bach Children's Chorus will also befeatured. This performance. to be held at the exciting new North York Performing Arts Centre, will also celebrate the Amadeus Choir's debut as the Recital Hall's "Choir in Residence". a recent designation named by the Performing Arts Centre's Board of Directors in recognition of the Amadeus Choir's level of musical activity and high standard of performance. "Elijah" was Mendelssohn's second oratorio. Written between 1&77 and 1846, it was first performed in English at the great Birmingham music festival in the summer of 1846. The story of the prophet Elijah is found in the Biblical book of Kings and appealed to Mendelssohn because of the opportunities to "set to music events rich in both dramatic potential and moral interest." He felt that a composer's main responsibility in oratorio was to "educate and uplife his audience". "Elijah" certainly achieves that goal. The Amadeus Choir's "Elijah" concert will take place Sat. Apr. 23, at 8 p.m. in the Recital Kall of the North York Performing Arts Centre -described by James Galway as "ore of the greatest in the world". Tickets are $r25 and $20, and may be obtained by calling the box office of the North York Performing Arts Centre at 32441333, or through TicketMaster at 872-222'x. Male Health Centres All serious illnesses disrupt one's life and are accompanied by a variety of intense emotions, in- cluding anger, confusion and depression. One of the best ways to deal with these feelings is to talk about similar experiences with other patients and their families. This is especially true for men who must deal with a . disease such as prostate cancer. In this light, a new group has been established in Toronto and Oakville by urologist, Dr. Richard Casey of The Male Health Centres. The group is call- ed Us Too and is the On- tario chapter of the na- tional organization of the same name. Norm Oman, national chairman of Us Too will be flying in from Winnipeg and will be offer- ing practical advice on how to get started to organizers and participants. The groups will provide a forum in which par- ticipants can discuss pro- blems and anxieties related to prostate cancer. The ultimate goal is to im- prove the quality of their lives. In addition, the group will serve as a source of up- to-date medical informa- tion for all patients. Men with prostate cancer and their family members are urged to attend on Tues. Apr. 26th from 7 to 9 p.m. in the rotunda, first floor in Wellesley Hospital, 160 Wellesley St. E. To at- tend call (416 ) 971-8340. Tues. April _'6 Preserving Antiques and Antique Documents will be at the Bendale Branch at 7:30 p.m., co-sponsored by the Scarborough Historical Society. Meredith Miller. Scarborough Historical Society Museum Commit- tee member and Archivist, will give a presentation on preserving antiques and antique documents. M0 Page 141 THE NEWS POST Wed. April 240, 1!1!14 Bill Watt's Worlds ON STAGE: Though by no means comparing ourself to the in- tellectual excellence of Hugh MacLennan, the author of Two Solitudes. it was in the spirit of his best known and appreciated book that we attended the opening night of Theatre FrarKais de Toronto's final presentation of its current season. Soiree Feydeau is an evening of two belle epoch comedies by Georges Feydeau. Feu La Mere de Madam (Madame, your mother is dead) might well be the Bickersons en FrarKais in which a married couple is quarrelling at 4 a.m. when they receive word of an unexpected death. How will they react? With renewed love and affection or with continued hostility? Mais N'te Prorn0ne Donc Pas Toute Nue! ( Don't run around naked... more or less) presents a charming little vixen's attempts to puncture the pomposity of her politician husband. i Sinclair Lewis and Margery Sharp both used the theme in one or more of their novels) . M. Fevdeau's works are considered lightweight at best by many but in fact they're quite insightful and well worth custom. They have substance and can stand on their own. Even so, director Serge Olivier has decided that the play is not necessarily the thing and allows his fine cast to go over the top. The result is an evening of fine comedy embellished by bravura performances that are funny as hell. Par- donez. I'enfer. Genevieve Langlois and Rene Edgard Gilbert are the quarrelling spice (plural of spouse and our own invented word) in the first play. She is beautiful, he is handsome, they are both hilariously immature. Nice bits, too, by Carole Nadeau and Denys Paris who reminds one muchly of a very young Fernandel. In the second play (the nue one) M. Paris almost steals the show from Luc Dagenais as the stuffy politico and Carole Nadeau as his free spirited wife. The gentleman has an ex- pressive face that allows wonderful takes just short of mugging. M. Dagenais is properly imperious and Mlle. Nadeau is quite the sexiest of women. Quite a change from her role as the maid in the earlier play. M. Gilbert as the re- quisite butler teases with just what the butler might or might not have seen. The costuming is just right and the set design elegantly serviceable. Soiree Fevdeau is an ex- cellent dessert after a heavy winter and can be enjoyed until Apr. 24th at the Canadian Stage Theatre on Berkeley St. Bon appetit. ON TA . : Matt Dillon. the long retired Dodge City Marshal of Gunsmoke returns this Sunday (9 p.m. on CHCH- 'IV ) in Gunsmoke: One Man's Justice. It should be interesting to see how James Arness, brother of Peter - Mission Impossible and umpteen other series - Graves, now looks. James Arness was recommended for the role by original choice John Wayne but among others considered for it was Leslie Nielsen, now doing silly ass riles in the Naked Gun movies. One wonders how Mr. Nielsen's late father would have felt about them. He was a police of- ficer in Calgary or Edmon- ton. And. how about his brother, former M.P. c Yukon) Erik Nielsen' LAKE BENNETT, YUKON TERRITORY, 1898 -- The Klondike Gold Rush is on. Every day, hundreds of prospectors ago- nizingly climb over the Chilkoot pass filled with the hope of find- ing a fortune in nuggets on the other side. The situation is ripe for trouble. In Skagway, Alaska, on the American side of the border, Gangster Soapy Smith and his crew of thugs control the town. Skagway was "the most outra- geously lawless quarter I ever struck", remembered one gold rush veteran. "It seemed as if the scum of the earth had hastened here to fleece and rob, or ... to murder." To preserve peace and order on the Canadian side of the border. Prime Minister Wilfrid LAurier's government dispatched Canada's finest policeman. Superintendent Sam Steele of the North-West Mounted Police. During the winter of 1898 Steele and his Mounties built posts on the top the mountain passes leading into the Yukon.

IN PRINT: In the Spring a young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love (Ten- nyson) . This correspondent is no longer young but it is Spring and we've been privy to the arrival of Ann Hooper's Pocket Sex Guide ( Random House of Canada(. Pocket sized sex guides aren't new. The Japanese have for centuries studied them (as everything else they do) with intensity, the Victorians with surrep- titiousness and the Edwar- dians with a joke and a twirl of the moustache. We suspect today's moderns will read Ms. Hooper's book for one of two reasons; to learn or to con- firm. Designed for discretion it's an attractive small book lavishly illustrated with soft focus phMographs of attractive couples in various versions of uh, coupling. It's not prurient and decidely not for homosexuals of either gender. It's quite simply a presentation of how sex acts can best be performed by a loving man and woman. And, it's intended for both. The Column recom- mends Ann Hooper's Pocket Sex Guide but that recommendation most be your only inducement to purchase. You won't be able to examine it in a book store. It's sealed.

In the spring, Steele moved his headquarters down to Lake Ben- nett, a tent city of 10,000 gold- seekers.'The prospectors had gathered here to wait for the spring break-up that would open the river route to the gold fields. All types of sea- s faring craft were being built in preparation for the final leg of the journey. Steele quickly realized that some of the boats would never survive the rough waters. He set up a Mountie checkpoint to pre- vent unseaworthy boats from departing. This decisive action saved many lives. Steele dealt firmly with unruly intruders into Canadian territory. One evening he heard two shots ring out near his cabin. The gun- man was brought before Steele, who found marked cards and loaded dice in his saddlebags. The culprit was indignant: "I'll have you know that you can't lock up a United States citizen and get away with it." "Well" said Steele, "seeing you're an Amer- ican citizen, I'll be very lenient. I'll confiscate everything you have and give you half an hour to leave town". The gambler was quickly marched back up the pass with a Mountie escort. From Lake Bennett, Steele made his way to Dawson City, the new gold capital of the North. Like The Heritage Project is proud to be associated with the International Year sof the: Family.

Largest Airport Opening In Denver Denver International Airport (DIA), covering 5.3 square miles, will be the world's largest airport when it opens May 15, 1994. The existing Stapleton In- ternational Airport will cease operations when DIA fin. The new U.S. $3.1 billion Denver International Air- port is the first new airport in a major American city in nearly 20 years. Stapleton is currently the 8th busiest airport in the world with over 30 million passengers a year. When completely finish- ed. the new airport will have 11 runways and be capable of handling 110 million passengers a year. DIA will open with five run- ways in a pinwheel layout so that none of the runways intersect. This drastically reduces congestion for take -offs and landings. The new facility will link the terminal to the initial 84 gates on three concourses. Future growth will allow DIA to expand to 206 gates on four concourses. Ground was broken in September, 1989 with 11,000 workers moving 100 million cubic yards of earth - about half the volume excavated during construction of the Panama Canal. The paved surface is equivalent to a single lane road between Denver and Chicago - 1,021 miles of blacktop. A state of the art bag- gage handling system will use underground tunnels and 20 mile per hour con- veyor belts to get baggage to the terminal before passengers arrive at the baggage claim area. A computer operated train will depart every 2 minutes and transport passengers between concourses. The farthest trip will take only four minutes and all trains are accessible to disabled travellers. Travelling within the air- port will be an enjoyable experience with a host of concessionary services. The terminal will be covered with a tent like roof that mirrors the Rocky Mountains which are visi- ble in the distance. Longer than four football fields, the roof will glow at night with a pale light making it the largest lighted struc- ture on earth. The new airport is located 24 miles from downtown Denver but the trip will take only about 30 minutes as the entire route to downtown will be on four lane highways. Taxi, hotel shuttle, and airport bus service will be available. Currently there are no hotels located near DIA but a number are under development. Stapleton In- ternational Airport area hotels will still provide hotel shuttle service to DIA. "With its new airport and the city's many attrac- tions, Denver will become an increasingly popular choice for business and leisure travellers." said William Tappe, Regional Director for Canada of the United States Travel and Tourism Administration (USTTA).
