April 26, 1995 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Awake English Canada by Bob Watson Well, the Parti Quebecois has now found taht the Quebec voters won't vote for separation but if economic and political union is made with Canada then the voters would vote for separation. Isn't that interesting. The Quebec voters want a stgronger connection along with their separation. Perhaps the Quebec voters are so used to sucking the finances out of Canada and not paying their fair share of the cost of running our coun- try, they just want the ability to make separate decisions from the rest of us. Anyone who analyzes the federal financial situation will see that Ontario is the main province providing the big bulk of cash to Ottawa whereas Quebec is one of the provinces taking out more cash than it provides. Has Ontario ever received praise from Quebec when the Peterson Liberals made Dench an official language in On- tario at a great cost annually to Ontario taxpayers? In Quebec anglophones don't have equal language rights to French-speaking Quebecers. Frankly, most English-speaking Canadians would be hap- py to have Quebec out of our beloved Canada, but the worry is how much our Francophone federal government folks are going to give Quebec as farewell gifts. U Quebec ever separates from Canada - and we don't see how it is possible unless we in the rest of Canada approve of it - we will eagerly watch to see if they can get enough taxes from their o -Am citizens to pay the cast of independence. We don't believe they can and in about 5 to 10 years Quebecs wouild be negotiating to get back into Cana(6. Let's face it. this is a country and no province can decide to leave unless the whale country agrees to that separation. Vive le Canada: The Libertarian Party Who are I.Abertarians? The answer is simple: Canadians just like you and me, rich and poor• from every walk of life and every part of the county). We believe in personal freedom supported by personal responsibility -- the strengths that built our nation. We maintain the governments' role in our lives should be limited. The primary responsibility of government is to pro- tect us: to protect our lives. our property. our rights and freedorm.. and our ftuxiamental equality before the law. Libertarians are concerned about the continual expansion of government, eroding our freedoms and resulting in ex- cessive taxation for everyone. We are disgusted by govern- ment at all levels pandering to special interests at tax- payersexpense. Libertarians are working to restore and protect your rights and freedoms. We believe in you as an individual, that you know- best how to rum your life or business. Above all we are alarmed at the increasing levels of public debt in Canada. We have seen what happens in the "Third World" when governments lose their credit ratings. We can't let this happen to the courntry that we love so much. Ilistoncally. Libertarianism goes back hundreds of years. In Canada, Libertarian parties were formed in the mid -1970's at both the federal and provincial levels. In Beaches -Woodbine, Libertarian candidates have run in most elections since then. The Libertarian movement needs your help, your opi- nions, your advice and your slulls.

The Meaning Of Citizenship by Nicole Clarke a student at I..B.Pearson C.1—Scarborough Board of Education. This speech was delivered at two citizenship courts at the Scarborough 0%ic Cen- tre on Fri.April 21st. To me, the meaning of citizenship occurs when a person belongs to a country and devotes himself fully to it. When a person moves to a country and fully com- mits himself to that par- ticular country this, I think, is one part of being a citizen. Citizenship is not only committing yourself to a country: it is much more than that. A person could easily say, "I reside in Canada so I'm a citizen of Canada." Part of being a citizen is actually being in the country in the first place, but that is not all. As a citizen of a country or nation. you actually owe allegiance to its govern- ment. Owing allegiance to the government means showing loyalty. Respec- ting the government and suggesting ideas to im- DAV:C Gr*XRVWLF Canada. Iib the United States, has experienced a pokt- call revolution in the IM low Veers. wt xch will alta brever Ow country's electoral clinlaIn. Canadians and Arnericans have sent clear signets tAat they are led up with big government arta with high taxes. In the U S. this revolution was msniEseEsd with last tar's dre- mtleic landslide victory for the Republican Party. with its con- servative economic agenda of less government and lower taxes The yew before in Caruda the Reform Party singed from 1 to 52 seats. while the sochaiw NDP and the tax -and -spend Tories wwo both devastated. In reoent months. Canadians bolt part in unprecedented num- bers in anti -tax protests. Some observers say that these developmenla mark a tun- derental shift in atetidesi rrong Canadians about government Canadians. they say. are com- ing b the Conclusion trial gov- ernment is not part of t* solu- tion but part of the problem These observers have only got it partly right. The truth is that Canadians have wanted less government and ower taxes for years. The problem was the political establishment never bothered to listen to them. It was too busy listening to bureaucrats and to noisy special rMerrrsl groups. Until recently. no major politi- cal party in Canada was openly prove your country is also a part of being a citizen. Some people ask, "Does being a citizen mean hav- ing freedom' Rights'. Responsibilities? I per- sonally think that it is all of the above. As a citizen, you have many rights and freedoms, but, with these rights and freedoms, come responsibilities. As a citizen. you should try to be as involved with your coun- try as much as possible. Some people just reside in a country such as Canada, for instance, and think that. because they live in the country and have their Canadian Citizenship, there is nothing else to it. Voting is one of the responsibilities that you have as a citizen. Citizens of Canada are eligible to vote when they are of legal voting age. which is 18. Citizens of a country can also use their freedom of speech to express views and ideas which concern them and their country. When called upon. being a juror, is another respon- sibility. Also. adults can be Taxpayers Taking Charge oonr.l>rtlad b educing govern- mant. The Liberak, " NDP and the Progressive Conse ve- Vves ar favoured hipper govem- mwht. Canadians were never given the opportunity b vole for the Canadian equivalent of a Margaret Thatder. In short, political partes were out of ouch with the people who elected them. This in turn led b tle poems" of unpopular taxes such as the inlemous GST. For years the polbcal estab- lisp eim t got away with this be- cause Owe was no arlernaave and as ore goverrxrwn t bureau- crat put rt.'1M nrrddteclassdoes not rebel.' That has charged. In the 1990s Canadian do rebel and taxpayers are derrundirig b be heard What caused the change' Canadians simply ply became ted up with governments that kept getting bigger and with taxes that kept going higher. The key turning pont, how- ever. was the political establish- menrs Walerloo — the defeat of ate Charlottetown Accord Ref- erendum in 1992 For the first time. Canadians were able to directly say •ria' to the political establistrnent and it telt mighty good Since then. Canadians have been much less shy about flex - ng thew political rtuscle. If poli- ticians of all political parties ig- nore that. they will do so at their pent (Davd Somenile is President of The National Cann' Coalition.) school board members and work in any political party. The list goes on and on. Until recently, I thought that, in order to be a citizen of a country, you had to leave behind your other culture, religion and language and participate only in the culture of the new country. I was mistaken! Being a citizen does not mean that you have to do that. You can re- tain your own culture, practice your own religion, speak your own language and still be a citizen. Canada is very multicultural and accepts people from many different backgrounds as citizens. To become a citizen of a country you must want to be one. If you were born in that country, you are automatically a citizen.Some people im- migrate to other countries and become citizens of the new country, by choice. For example, a person born in Jamaica who wanted to move to Canada and permanently reside there, could become a Canadian Citizen. All it takes are a few formalities. I have been a Canadian Citizen from birth and I am extremely proud of my citizenship. A few people from other countries such as the United States and Jamaica have asked me what it feels like to be a citizen of Canada because they wish they were. I per- sonally feel great that I am a Canadian Citizen. It makes me feel as if I belong in my country because of all the respon- sibilities I have now and will have when I am older. I believe I am an impor- tant part of Canada. I try hard as possible to do many of the things that would make me a good, young Canadian Citizen. As an ex- ample. I participate in surveys and fill out ques- tionnaires giving my honest opinions and sug- gestions about the country and the city in which I live. I am very glad to be a citizen of Canada and I do not think that I am ever go- ing to change my citizen- ship in the future.

I NAPS —If you want to be fit and healthy, experts advise, get a good night's sleep. According to a new, eye-opening survey, one of every two people sabotages fitness benefits by skimp- ing on sleep. The survev, conducted for the Better Sleep Coun- cil I B..SC i, found nearly nine in ten people say that nutri- tion, exercise and sleep are equally important for good health and 54 percent exer- cise regularly. But in an- other BSC survey more than 54 percent confessed they don't get enough sleep. The relationship be- tween sleep and exercise is cyclical, health experts say. The body is designed for physical activity but also requires rest. When the cycle is balanced, the health benefits are far reaching. In fact, people who exer- cise regularly tend to sleep better. In one recent exer- cise study, subjects who participated in an aerobic exercise program including •r bicycling or running re- ported improved sleep. On the other hand, lack of sleep can make the cycle take a vicious turn for the worse. Consistent sleepi- ness leads to low-level fatigue, irritability, memo- ry loss, lack of concentra- tion and decreased physi- cal performance. Not surprisingly, nearly half of sur,ey respondent,, reported skipping exercise because they felt tired or sleepy. The key to building sleep into exercise routines:' Experts say make sleep a priority, keep regular hour and create a restful sleep environment by sleeping in a cool, quiet, dark room on a comfortable, supportive mattress.

A community develop- ment worker has been hired to work with schools and community sites to develop more programs, which hopefully will be launched in the fall of 1995. However, in the interim, Cornell Public School's "The Breakfast Express" is off and running, getting children off to a great start by providing them with a nutritious breakfast with their classmates. And, "The Breakfast Ex- press" just keeps rolling along. picking up speed (and members) as it goes.

Programs For Kids' Physical Disabilities Children and youth with physical disabilities and their families will soon benefit from two new pro- grams at The Hugh Mac- Millan Rehabilitation Cen- tre in Toronto. the Equipment Loan Cup- board is designed to let children try out therapy equipment and recrea- tional devices before their families buy them. The facility is equipped with walkers, tricycles, bath seatsl, all -terrain ,Aheelchairs, a special needs jogger and other assistive devices. Many of these items are costly and the wrong pur- , hale decision can have ,enous implications for the child's well-being and the family's finances. The Equipment Loan Cupboard will meet the family's need to test the device and make an informed investment decision. The program will also be useful to individuals who are waiting for delivery or repair of specialized, custom -:Wade equipment, or whose needs change dunng the phases following an acquired in- jm'y. The centre is also announ- cing the launch of the Snoezelen Room (pro- nounce Snooz-e-lin), a physical environment which provides sensory stimulation and relaxation to children with disabilities. The concept, which relies on the use of smell, sound, colour, light and texture, was originally developed in the Netherlands. The Dutch name means to sniff and to doze. Both the Equipment Loan Cupboard and the Snoezelen Room were made possible by a dona- tion of $75,000 from Ronald McDonald Children's Charities of Canada to The Hugh MacMillan Children's Foundation. The launch will take place during The Foundation's annual True Partners Reception to be held on Wed.Apr.26th at The Hugh MacMillan Rehabilitation Centre, 350 Rumsey Road, Toronto. (reception starts at 6 p.m., ceremonies at 7 P.M.) An exhibit will feature devices from the Equip' merit Loan Cupboard and guests will be invited to tour the Snoezelen Room.

As a snack, in a soup or as part of a meal, milk is an important source of protein, calcium, vitamins A and B12, niacin, folacin, and if fortified, Vitamin D. Getting a glass of milk has not always been as easy as it is today. The history of milk dates back to the beginnings of civilization when man first recognized the benefits of this thirst quenching bev- erage. Prehistoric picture - stories of cows, dating back 8,(X)0 years or more, have been unearthed in the Sahara Desert. References to milk appear in the Bible and milk was used by ancient Greeks. Romans and Egyptians in religious ceremonies and as medicine. Historical refer- ences state that as early as 4,000 B.C., people in an- cient Babylon, Egypt and India kept a family cow as the chief source of fresh milk. An ancient frieze dat- ing back to that time has been found in Ur, near Babylon, depicting a dairy scene including milk con- tainers, strainers and cows. The word "milk" is derived from an ancient Sanskrit word, mioluc. To make sure they had fresh milk on hand for nour- ishment, the Vikings took cows with them during their long voyages. But it wasn't until the 1800's when a French scientist named Louis Pasteur discovered pasteurization that milk was made safe for human con- sumption and gained a longer shelf -life. Pasteur's experiments were originally conducted on wine and later applied to milk. Since then, milk has remained virtually the same, until now. Ault Foods Limited, a leader in the Canadian dairy industry, has developed a new PurFiltreVM process that takes milk back to its natu- ral, farm -fresh quality and taste. By passing milk through an extremely fine filter, im- purities in milk are removed prior to pasteurization, while nuts.!::, :,.. .. nutrient. ars not .tri ... the process ihccausc nu:n,:::: molecules arc much smaller than bacteria and flew through the filtering pro- cedure untouched. Ault's new process uses proprietary technology to meet consumer demand for great tasting natural foxods with minimal processing.

It also stays fresher, konger. Canada's Food Guide rec- ommends daily servings of milk. Children require two to three servings of milk or milk products each day, ado- lescents three to four serv- ings and adults two servings. Milk and milk products supply the best sources of calcium, a mineral which helps make muscles, nerves, blood and cell membranes function properly. In fact, a person would need to eat two cups of broccoli or six sardines to receive the same amount of calcium that's contained in one cup of milk. Lactantia's new milk is available in skim, 1%, 2% or homogenized, and Lactantia PurFiltreTm. Skim Milk contains the least amount of fat — about .1 per cent — and only 90 calories per glass. Consumers who have never experienced the taste of farm -fresh milk can now enjoy Lactantia PurFiltreTm Milk. which tastes fresher and stays fresher longer, thanks to the new PurFiltreTM process. All the nourishment and the farm fresh taste we've come to expect, from the beginning of civiliza- tion. Nature's perfect food just got a little better.

Bold flavored condiments and spices are good choices, since they heighten the flavor and make meals taste delicious. Since fat adds flavor, many people find the taste of low fat food unappeal- ing," states Valerie Steele, director of the Canadian Or- ganization for Nutrition Ed- ucation. "However, it's easy, to cut back on fat without sacrificing good taste, by adding seasonings like hot pepper sauce and flavored mustards to favorite rec- ipes.' Salsa is a popular, low fat condiment in Canadian households and an authentic salsa should include at least three of the following taste sensations: sweet, sour, hot, savory, herbal or aromatic. Fresh Fruit salsa is a refresh- ing change from the tradi- tional tomato -based version. Quick and easy to make, Citrus Mint Salsa is a color- ful combination of fire and ice that heightens the flavor of broiled fish steaks without adding fat. Vegetables also get a flavor boost when tradi- tional high fat accompani- ments such as butter or mar- garine are replaced by pi- quant seasonings. lemon Sesame Asparagus is an ap- pealing accompaniment to broiled fish and its crunchy sauce can also be served over crisp green beans, snov. peas or cooked carrots. Since pasta is such a popular suppertime dish, many Canadians are looking for zesty alternatives to high fat cream sauces. By com- bining low fat dairy pro- ducts with a fiery sauce. Creamy Peppery Pasta with Vegetables is a savory recipe that cream sauce lovers can still enjoy.

Page 10 THE NEWS I; POST Wed. April 26,1995 B%ll Watt's Worlds At The Opera Your Column declares Tchaikowskv to be the world's greatest composer. Yes, we're aware that most authorities place him well below Bach. Mozart and Beethoven but, to quote Rhett Butler, frankly we don't dive a damn. We know only that his music compels all the emotions with which human kind has been blessed (or cursed: take your pick) to an extent that no other composer can approach. Best of all, it never wearies even after a lifetime of listening to it. So the music of Tchaikowsky comes nobly to the rescue of Pushkin's oft told and now. more or less stale tale of Eugene Onegin. It's typically Russian-, principals are unhappy at the beginning and miserable at the end. Throughout, however, there is the music of the master' music that transforms tortuous poetry into titanic tunes and gloom into glamour. So the current Canadian Opera Company produc- tion of Pushkin's Eugene Onegin at The O'Keefe is a winning one despite the too familiar libretto and, on opening night, a vocal in- disposition of the leading lady. Soprano Gwvzute Geyer who sang the role of Ta- tyana was unable to sing the second and third acts. Sonya Gossse then sang from the pit while Miss Geyer lipsynched on stage. Truth to tell, it was quite moving as the vocal histrionics of one matched the visual egtnvalent of the other. In the title role, Vastly Emelianov's baritone voice dramatically equalled his characterization. As por- trayed and sung and with possibly a nudge from Director John Copley, his Onegin was a more com- plex one than is usually ex- perienced. Indeed, one could almost feel some sympathy for the self- centred wretch. Clifton Forbis continues to impress, this time as the hapless Lensky. In par- ticular, one remembers the tragedy of his duel scene with Onegin. Each member of the largish cast acquitted him or herself admirably but a special kudo is awarded Robert Milne as Prince Gremin. A bass baritone voice is always pleasurable to hear and Mr. Milne uses his to full dramatic value. Richard Bradshaw con- ducts well and with rather less of the body moves which he is sometimes in- clined to overdo. Now. if only directors could be reminded of the O'Keefe stage's dead spot to audience right. midway from the pit to the backdrop and about five feet from the floor. Too many vocal pleasures are denied to an audience when singers are placed there. At The Operetta Franz Lehar's operetta The Czarevitch will be per- formed by the Toronto Operetta Theatre at the Jane Mallett tSt.Lawrence Centre) on May 3rd. 5th and 6th. Said to have been the favounte role of Richard Tauber, The Czare%itch is set in the late 19th century and based upon historical fact: the story of the heir to the Russian throne's doom- ed love affair with a com- moner. If memory serves correctly, the story has also been presented as Maverl ing. In this production the lead role will be sung by Mark Dubois opposite the gorgeous Shan Saunders as Soria his lover and beloved. Considering the T.O.T.'s track record so far this season, tickets are pro- bably sold out already but you might try at the Jane Mallett box office or call 3L66 'Z3. It's most cer- tainly worth the effort. Good luck. Around and A bou Your Dining &Entertainment Guide On Stage Franz Kafka is a much over -rated writer who lack- ed the sensitivity of John Galsworthy and the writing discipline of Edgar Allen Poe. Currently playing at Theatre Passe Muraille is Metamorphosis of a Shadow. According to the program note, it "is a finely choreographed sound and image composition" (Aren't all plays?) in which "scenes flow in and out of Kafka's world blurring the line between his writing and his life." According to this reviewer, it's theatre of the absurd without theatre in which talented, and athletic, performers are wasted in a series of mov- ing tableaux depicting madness and suffering. One knows that in madness there is no form but Theatre by its very raison d'etre demands at least the semblance of it. Three risen dressed like psychedelic Marx Brothers hitting one another with boxing gloves when not running up and down lad- ders is not theatre. Three women in satin gowns moaning orgasmically while performing spastic movements better suited to dervishes is not theatre. One could go on about dan- cing masks of Kafka, about a father screaming for no reason at all, about record- ed street noises, about repeated stabbings but to what avail? Why heap in- dignity upon indignity' It will have been noted by now that no names have been written here. We believe it's best that way.

The world is now truly one's oyster. One of the newly emergent pearls in said oyster is the Czech Republic which is now ac- tively promoting tourism. And, with good reason we might add. At a luncheon before the show, represen- tatives of the Czech Republic told of the many delights to be enjoyed visiting there. As was pointed out, the C. R. is not a middle eastern country-, it's a central European one that nicely combines the pleasures of the pastoral and the cosmopolitan. No doubt we'll be offering more information in future columns but for now we wish to wax rhapsodic over the Czech beer sampled at the luncheon. The par- ticular variety we tasted had the deep, rich taste of a stout or porter but the light "texture" of a pilsener. Satisfying but not heavy. Roll out the barrel! In- cidentally, the song was written by a Czech.

Prod behind the magic and mystique of the Thors and Bluetooths and you'll discover hundreds of other reasons to visit this country of 5 million inhabitants who live on more than 500 islands. Strategically located at the mouth of the Baltic Sea, all eyes will zoom in on Denmark's capital, Copenhagen, next year when it proudly sports the title of Europe's Cultural Capital. Not that this country is a newcomer to such atten- tion. For 500 years Copenhagen was at the cen- tre of a kingdom that in- cluded Norwav, most of Southern Sweden and Nor- thern Germany. After the city was established and fortified in the 12th cen- tury, large parts of the now independent Baltic states were also ruled from here. Consequently, people from all over Northern Europe converged on Copenhagen forging together opposing cultures. ideas and traditions - its diversity, still evident to- day. Where else can you find a city that permits a 1000 member commune, Chris- tiania, to exist near an 18th century castle, Amalien- borg? Liberal attitudes like these are what infuse the Danish way of life, leaving most of last year's four million visitors relaxed and rejuvenated. Some seek Denmark to trace their ancestral roots. Others want whimsy and magic out of a holiday and find it in the town of Odense, the birthplace of Hans Christian Andersen, where the Princess and the Pea take on new propor- tions. Wanting more they move on to Legoland - a world of 42,000,000 plastic bricks. used cleverly to construct replicas of the Taj Mahal, Netschwans- tein Castle, Mt. Rushmore, Cape Kennedy and so forth. Back in the capital they find more magic in the 110,718 twinkling lights of Tivoli Gardens or in the angelic voices of the Boys r7hoir Wed.

It is designed to help control healthcare spending in Canada by encouraging people to get the informa- tion they need to make good healthcare decisions. "Sharing a Healthier Fu- ture encourages people to become more health con- scious in two ways," says Gerry McDole. President and CEO of Astra. "First, it educates the general public on how the system has been used improperly, resulting in increased costs, and offers suggestions on how to use it appropriately. Second, it alerts those at risk of develop- ing chronic disease and edu- cates patients with specific diseases on how to manage their conditions better." 24-HOUR HEALTH LINE The national, toll-free number is in operation 24 hours a day, in both English and French.

Here are some of the as- tounding facts you should he aware of: • The estimated cost of ill- ness to Canada is in excess of SUM billion per year. • Canadians consume more drugs than any other industrialized na- tion. In fact, between one third and three quar- ters of visits to doctors offices end with a pre- scription. • Up to -iO per cent of health services, from hospital usage to prescription drug usage, are estimated to be inappropriate. Despite these hurdles, steps can be taken to ensure that our children will enjoy quality, accessible health- care in Canada.

An excur- sion is on the books for a trip to Wonderland for graduating students. Grad Night' What a night' On the evening of Mar.30 there was a meeting of staff, parents and students to discuss "What's going on in Sex Education." This topic bears discussion, par- ticularly since teens are ex- posed to the subject on the media constantly, but do not have the knowledge to deal with it on an individual basis. The discussion of sex makes many people un- comfortablel. There are still taboos in speaking about something so impor- tant that ignorance of it can lead to dire consequences. so we must talk about it. This proved to be an infor- mative evening. David Roe and Primrose Pennicooke, two Borden B.T.I. teachers served as facilitators for SMILE camp. The camp was organized to bring together 60 students of various races and cultures. grades 6 through lo, from across the Scarborough Board of Education to share knowledge about themselves and their cultures and to take on leadership roles in their schools. At the most recent staff meeting two of the par- ticipants, Kevin Guy and Tanisha Hosin, provided an informative talk on SMILE camp for the staff of Borden B.T.I. and proved once again the talent ex- isting at the school. Partnerships between business, industry and schools are an important link that keeps education current and relevant to the working world, therefore a new partnership is being forged by Borden B.T.I. and Scarborough Public Utilities. Students, of course• are the ultimate beneficiaries of such a melding of knowledge, and in the long range view, our society benefits. A meeting was held on Apr.6 between Borden B.T.I. staff and Paul Reesor, Business Educa- tion Liaison Leader and John Dunnett. Director of Customer Services from Scarborough Public Utilities to see how best to begin working together. There are so many exciting possibilities to explore. everything from job shadowing, to cooperative education to field trips to the company premises. On the career front. Stew MacSween, Assistant Head of Guidance is, once again, arranging a visit to the Career Fair for Borden B.TI. stuents which is a great additional activity to the Career Club he organizes and runs for the students wishing to explore various trade options. Another partnership that is going well is the Com- munity Police Educational Partners ( C. P. E. P. ) which has brought Officer Bill Topham to Borden B.T.I. and his presence at the !---hnnl has opened eom- munication and mutual trust between police and the student body. Bill Topham is being shared with Maplewood High School. The goals of the program are to promote crime prevention through educa- tion, promotion of the police as an accessible public service, the initia- tion of a school-based com- munity support team, the breaking down of barriers between youth and the police, criminal investiga- tion and enforcement in- teraction and definition of the law within the ethnic communities. This is a laudable starting list of goals that will provide a direct social service to Borden B.T.I. students and our community. Students Tanya Latouchre, Canta Thompson, Claudia Martina, Carolyn Bruce, Rosa Revia, Kitty Chiu. Monica Lewisl, Amber Chaboyer, Catty Filazzola and Kevin Guy are to be congratulated for their part in providing excellent service and support to the monthly seniors' luncheon held at Borden B.T.I.
