THE NEWS PINT Wed. 11a% 17. 1995 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Don't Forget To Vote by Bob Watson The democratic system we have in our country requires that each Canadian citizen exercises his or her right and votes for the representative whom you consider the best person to represent you in the government. Some people asked on radio about how they are going to vote have said they are not going to vote. That presents a break in the democratic system. Everyone should vote - right after you have analyzed the individuals who are runn- ing for the position of M.P.P. in your area. You should decide which one you should give the "X" to and do it. The Biggest Issue by Bob Watson In our opinion the biggest issue is how the three parties are going to handle the public's tax money when they get elected. We haven't had a good financial handling govern- ment for a long time. Let's get more private enterprise operators doing jobs for the government - it is usually cheaper for the taxpayers. Cutting back on grants being dished out to groups is a priority for the next provincial government. Less govern- ment employees is essential in the cost-cutting procedure. Perhaps the Mayor of Mississauga. who has balanced that city government's fiances for years, cold loan her advice to Queen's Park and get our provincial finances in order! newswortt trends Food For Thought Oso milli" CROPS 8r FARMING d 0 0 "0 Nils" IE so Wwwo 7 It BETTER RICE CORN POTATOES Predictions of population growth outstripping food production has led to scientific development of improved food crops and farming methods, resulting in rice that can feed 450 million more people, new corn to feed 50 million more and better potatoes, 200 million people.

Preventing a Disaster with Frozen by M.H. Purnu Picture this scenario, It's a cold, wintry day and the weather has been relentless for the past few days. you've just come hack to your house after a week's vacation (hopefully somewhere warm and sunm!) only to discover your pipes have frozen. burst and flooded your house. four only consolation is that you think your home insurance will pay for the damage. That's not necessarily so. "If you have been away for more than four consecutive days and you did not make arrange- ments for someone to check your home daily. most standard home policies will net aver the dam- age resulting from frozen pipes." says Brian Speirs, a home claims expertwith The Co-operators. " In water pipes) then you can In and help the thawing pricers by directing the heat from a hair- dryer on the pipe for 10-15 minutes. Never use a torch to warm up the pipes as this could result in settine the house on fire. Just because your pipes are frozen docs not mean that they will burst. But it's a risk you might not want to take oa it's better to call a plumber it the pipe doesn't thaw by itself. How can you prevent your pipes from freezing' There are usually two factors at work when pipes freeze - a combination of very cold weather for a number of days and pipes that are installed tow close to the outside wall with little or no insulation. Water Pipes While there is not much you can do about the weather condi- tions, you can insulate between Pipes and outside walls which prevents cold air from getting to the pipes and lessens the likeli- hood of freezing. Sometimes it requires work on both the inside and outside. For example, if the mortar in the brickwork has loosened or cracks have developed, it doesn't take a big crack for cold air to get in and if the pipes are nearby, they can freeze more easily. While it's not a good idea for the long run, you could keep both water taps dripping when a cold spell hits. If the worst happens... and your house is flooding due to a burst pipe, what should winter. you must ensure someone enters the premises daily to check the heating." What to do if your pipes Most People are frozen Do' you do:' "As a home policyholder, no matter which insurance com- pany you are with, you have certain responsibilities to min- imize the damage as much as you can," says Speirs. "For ex- ample, shut off the water source and try to remove your posses- sions from the flooded area. Next, call your insurance repre- sentative and then will advise you on how to proceed from there." Once there is water damage, these claims can get ver expen- sive and run upwards of $2,(XX) per claim. Drying items out will help minimize damage. Any- thing that you can do will bene- fit both parties in the long run to help keep down the cost of insurance. Meow Tum your taps on slighth - as it thaws, it will melt and first begin to drip. It's riot wise toh h i o b o u kayo the taps running if you are going away for the day or off to work. Either remain present or tum the water off at the water I r oiselses main. V e Frozen water is strong enough to split pipes so you must act quickly. If you can locate which pipe is frozen (hot water pipes freeze hcf4-xe cold Health Issues Affecting Men The Toronto Hospital is presenting a free public seminar on health issues affecting men on Wed.

Challenge: Cut Down On Pesticide Use Ontario's pest control in- dustry has been challenged to reduce its use of pesticides and work with public health to help people battle cockroaches without creating a "chemical soup- in their homes. "Public health and the in- dustry both know from years of experience that the traditional reliance on pesticides isn't working. Thousands- of people are us- ing or being subjected to pesticides and not getting rid of roaches," North York's Environmental Health Director Fred Ruf told the annual conference of the Ontario Pest Control Association in Toronto. In the past two years. North York Public Health has received more calls and letters from people -pleading for our interven- tion to prevent treatment of residences than ever before. That unheard of ten years ago," said Ruf. "what about the concern for what increasingly is referred to as this chemical soup. Is it surprising that people are concerned about adding known toxics to their homes? People know with absolute certainty that pesticides are a toxic - they are designed to kill. You can't dress that up any other way," Ruf told delegates. When you consider apart- ments account for more than 50% of dwellings in North York, Ruf said. then you begin to appreciate the magnitude of the problem here and across Metro Toronto for apartment dwellers who are caught in a revolving door syndrome of spraying but not getting rid of roaches. -'We're running as fast as we can and never quite cat- ching up. And now people are telling us they want new non -chemical solu- tions." said Ruf. The public health official challenged the industry to form partnerships with public health, tenants, landlords and the Ontario Environment Ministry to adopt Integrated Pest Management and reduce reliance on pesticides. North York is implemen- ting a new city wide policy to reduce pesticide use in residential, commercial and government buildings Jan. t, 1996.

CANADIAN LIVER FOUNDATION I 1320 longe St.. Suite 301. Toronto. Ontario M4T 1X2 1-800-563-5483 Canadian Charitable Registration No. 0367151-13 Wed. May 17, 1995 THE; NEWS'POST Page 5 Metro Separate School News On Apr. 19 the Metropolitan Separate School Board approved a 1995 budget of $704.2 million. As a result, there will be a 2% increase in the residential and commer- cial mill rates for the 1995 calendar year. The in- crease means that a Catholic ratepayer with a home assessed at $5,000 will pay an additional $25 in educational taxes in 1995. The $8.8 million in revenue generated by the increase will make up for revenue lost because of property tax defaults and successful tax appeals and will be used exclusively to supplement the normal budget provisions for classroom Instructional supplies and equipment• and school maintenance and repairs. While the budget expen- ditures total $714.2 million, the board's operating ex- penditures total $692 million, which is $10.6 million less than 1994 ac- taul expenditures. The dif- ference of $11.9 million dollars will be used to retire the 1994 deficit of $6.7 million and the 1995 install- ment of the 1993 deficit of $5.1 million. The final in- stallment of the 1993 deficit 4$5.1 mh:lionl will be paid in 1996. Over the course of the budget process, every ef- fort was made to reduce operating expenditures without jeopardizing the quality of the educational servies that we provide. Most of the reductions will affect administrative and support services, equip- ment and staff training. They include: reduction of 178 staff positions $3.5 million; reduction of non - salary departmental budgets by 10% - $1.2 million: reduction of facilities maintenance budgets by 10% - $.8 million; reduction of caretaking supplies budget by 10% - $.9 million; and reduction of inser- vice professional develop- ment budgets $.2 million.

He is a Master Official who began at the local level in Scarborough and now serves at many national and international events each year. Horst has served as Chair- man of the Ontario Of- ficials Committee and has been a member of the Na- tional Officials Committee. He is treasurer of the Scar- borough Swim Club, a posi- tion he has held for more than io years and although his daughters have advanc- ed beyond club swimming. Horst remains a dedicated supporter of the local club. The Ontario Officials Committee selected Horst Tietze to receive the Elizabeth Collins Ralph Trophy which is dedicated to the memory of this devoted official. Kii•ston Harwood received the Colleen Devine Memorial Scholarship which is presented annual- ly to a registered Ontario swimmer competing for a Canadian University. Kirston will be entering Brock University in September and swimming on the Brock team. She is affiliated with the Variety Village Flames under coach Vicki Keith. Kirston shares the scholarship with fellow Brock student Rebecca Tombs who hails from Gravenhurst.Ontario.

This memorial scholar- ship is dedicated to the memory of Colleen Devine who was killed in a fatal car accident in August 1993 at the age of 23. Colleen was a former Ontario swimmer and a third year Honours English student at Carleton University. The award was presented to both girls by Colleen's sister. Shauna Devine.

The students, ages 15 to 121:1... will be sharing their lives with Canadian familites while attending local high schools for five or to mon- ths beginning this September. "Hosting a student is a great experience for the en- tire family, and it's a great way for a community to learn more about a coun- trv's culture," said Julia Lubczynski. who heads up the local branch of STS in Ontario. Being a host family means opening up your home and way of life to a teenager from another country just waiting for the chance to live and learn with a Cana- dian family. Host families provide meals, accom- modation, supervision and care during a student's visit to Canada. Mostg of the students par- ticipating in the program have intermediate levels of English. and chose Canada for its friendly people and beautiful natural areas. All of the students are frilly in- sured and are responsible for their own spending money and clothing allowance. The students will be arriving in Canada in late August and return- ing home after completing their high school year. Lubczynski said an effort is made to match students and host families with similar interests. "Each student is very dif- ferent, and we spend a lot of time trying to match students and families who The place that millions of Canadians will never forget Paul Berto, an advertising executive in Toronto, holds The Roval Conservatory Music ( RCM) responsible for his first kiss. At the ten- der age of three. Paul began piano lessons at The RCM and continued with the same teacher until he was 16 years old. Paul remembers feeling nervous before the yearly pi- ano exams but his greatest attack of nerves occurred at age eleven while he was practicing Bach for the an- nual recital. "It was a duet with Jennifer, the cutest girl in my group," he recalls. "Just as we had finished the piece she leaned over and kissed me. Suddenly, having to practice the piano for an hour everyday didn't seem like such a chore anymore." Catherine Brvden, a li- brarian from Lvnden. On- tario also has fond memories of The Roval Conservatory of Music. She distinctly re- members her piano exam that took place over thirty years ago. She recalls how nervous she was and how small she felt — her feet could hardly reach the ped- als on the piano. "How im- pressed 1 was that the exam- iner didn't even have a book of music in front of him; he just sat solemnly with his hands in his lap listening to me play. Maybe if I make mistakes he won't notice without the music book", she remembers thinking. It was not until years later, grown-up and an accom- plished piano teacher. Cath- erine realized that he would have known the familiar pieces of The RCM syllabus by heart. Paul and Catherine's vivid memories of The Royal Conservatory of Music are by no means unique. In op- eration for over a century, The RCM has touched the lives of over three million Ca- nadians and continues to reach over 250,000 people across North America each year. An independent, non- profit institution that re- ceives less than one percent of its funding from govern- ment sources, The RCM has an internationally acclaimed examination system that op- erates in 300 centres across North America reaching some 100,0()0 music exam candidates each year. Thou- sands of teachers across Canada use music books and RCM authored publications which form the core of The RCM syllabus. The materi- als are published exclusively by The Frederick Harris Music Company, The RCM's publisher for the past 80 years. Through its schools, its international Ex- amination System and music publications, The RCM fos- ters a love of music in stu- dents of all ages. Unfortunately. over the years. The RCM has lost contact with students like Paul and Catherine. To bring together all Canadians whose lives have been touched by The RCM, the Conservatory is launching a campaign asking everyone who was involved in any of The RCM's programs to give them a call. Famous RCM alumni — Canadian composer and twelve time Grammy winner David Fos- ter, legendary actor and per- former Robert Goulet, and renowned Canadian soprano Lois Marshall — have do- nated their time to assist The RCM in this campaign. They are encouraging all people whose lives have been touched by The RCM to contact the Conservatory to have their names in- scribed in an Historic Regis- ter.

At a news conference at the downtown Toronto Man- darin Club, Brian Robert- son, Chief Operating Of- ficer of Hongkong Bank of Canada handed Dr. Ming - Tat Cheung, chairman of the board of the Chinese Cultural Centre, a giant piggy bank containing a $250,000 cheque. This donation pledge is the biggest amount received to date from the private sec- tor by the cultural centre since its fundraising effort launched in April 1994. Under the agreement, the Chinese Cultural Centre of Greater Toronto will receive from the bank $250,000 over the next five years. This donation pledge makes Hongkong Bank the leading corporate sponsor in the $15 million cultural project. "The Asian market is one of the key factors con- tributing to the success of Hongkong Bank of Canada," said Mr. Robert- son. "We treasure our rela- tionship with the very vibrant Chinese communi- ty and are delighted to sup- port the creation of the Chinese Cultural Centre of Greater Toronto.This facility will provide Chinese Canadians living in the Greater Toronto area with an opportunity to con- tinue to experience and en- joy their cultural activities with the mainstream com- muni ty.

Young animals learn important life skills through playful activities M ,ving intently through the tall grass, txxdy held low to the ground, Ie'gs taut and ready to rush, an energetic Timber Wolf pup stalks his sleeping; father's tail. Tile pup choose% his moxnent to pounce, but father wolf isn't napping as deeply as he seemed. He has been keeping a half-closed but watchful eve on the pups. Judging just the right instant to flick his tail to the side, father watches as the young hunter bites dust instead of prey. Father wolf treats himself to a low snort as the youngster is then ambushed by his sister who is play- ing her own hunter -and -prey game. You can plainly see preparation for survival as an adult in the play of young animals. The wolf pups prac- tice physical skills and sharpen spa- tial perceptions they will need when they must feed their own offspring. Just as young predators play hunt - and -attack games, young prey ani- mals play at run-and-doolge-and-leap. Elk fawns, for instance, join in mock chases during which they practice alarm signals or suddenly stop and stand motionless. Whether an animal hunts or is hunted, playing these games helps the young to become more successful adults. Play helps to produce individ- uals who have developed the skills to survive and reproduce, thus assuring a future for the species. Play usually mirrors an animal's own situation in nature. The gambol- ing of Bighorn Iambs may help them acquire the strength and balance ne- e sary for life on steep slopes. As well, young Bighorn rams knock heads in rehearsal for the mating bat- tles to come. Play seems to provide safe oppor- tunities for young animals to inte- grate themselves into their communi- ties. Significantly, Rhesus, Monkeys who grow up without playmates become antisocial and aggressive. It is not always easy for humans to recognize play in another species. Fish, reptiles, insects and wild birds do not seem to play, though crows and ravens can occasionally be seen performing aerobatics apparently just for the fun of it. Itmay be, however, that these types of animals play in ways we can- not comprehend. Still, it's nice to think that even the rigours of survival in nature leave all animals a little time for fun. v+Ki Nature's Miracles is hmught to -you by this puhlicauon and Kiwid Wildlife Fund Canada (14'11'F).

Page 10 TILE NEWS POST Wed. May 17.19% B%ll Watt's Worlds ON YOt'R TOES It has been written that youth is too good to be wasted upon the young. We make it bold enough to sug- gest that Profkofiev's ballet, Cinderella is also too good for full apprecia- tion by young audiences. This, after seeing the Na- tional Ballet's premiere of it at The O'Keefe. Clearly the National is courting the youngsters - a 7.30 opening curtain - and clearly most of them enjoy it. And, w•hy not? It's a wondrous work filled with colourful characters and magical stagecraft. As well, the choreography of Ben Stevenson is, for the most part, just pedestrian enough to be enjoyed if not always appreciated. So, en fin, they enjoy what would seem to be a glorified British panto. For adults. however. there is also the Prokofiev score: one filled with the minor chords that reflect characterization rather more than is the case with most ballet scores. While the children are enjoying panto. the adults are ap- preciating the unfolding of a stony that's actually quite deep in its exposition of cruelty relieved only by the happenstance of beauty. Enough' Were becoming repetitious and too weighty. Whether for adults or for children, this Cinderella is well worth custom. On the evening we saw it. the title role was danced by Martine Lamy in manner neither too sweet nor too strong. This Cinderella is spunky but still subject to sadness until true hap- piness appiness is found with her handsome prince. Rex Harrison danced the latter role in manner born to it. He is one of the hand- somest men in the world of ballet and when he smiles he quite dazzles. Oh yes. he dances well, too. One almost forgets that, in ad- miration of his full and regal physicality. Greta Hodgkinson, too. lights up the stage with her piquant charm as the Fairy Godmother while Philip Iau continues to be all rub- ber acrobatics as the Prince's jester. In true panto style, the two ugly stepsisters are danced by men. Robert Conn and Philippe Dubuc in the roles can well be con- sidered the new Frick and Frack. Of course• only adults could be aware of that. So there it is. Cinderella is a pleasantly glorious ex- perience for children and a stimulating one for adults. We love it. ON THF. WALL. The late Orson Welles pro- duced a motion picture ver- sion of Macbeth on the old Republic back lot in the unheard of time of just 21 days. When reviewing it, life magazine commented tgdhat "it was made in 21 days...and looks like it." Close to half a centun• later it's now considered a fine work of cinema art. Buffy Sainte -Marie is presenting her exhibition "Painting With Light" at 179 John St. until May 21st and Your Column was there for the opening recep- tion. As expected, the worms proudly reflect her aboriginal heritage. Quite unexpected is that they're digitally produced by com- puter. in truth, they "look like it". That's not intended as a dismissal. Granted their electronic delivery can't be hidden -too oxymoronicall• perfect- but there's not G.I.G.O. syridrome here. The intention, the soul of the artist glows through in vibrant tones and expres- sion that seamlessly meld the tortured intellect of an Aubrey Beardsley and the quixotic psyche of a Salvador Dah. Miss Sainte -Marie has proven herself to be a fine graphic artist. Arid it won't take four decades for the world to realize it. OVER THE WALL. The number of theatrical awards being nominated Around and About Your Dining & Entertainme nt Guide and awarded for Toronto based Livent's Broadway productions is going over the wall to the point where we've quite lost count of them. We speak of Show Boat and Sunset Boulevard. The former premiered at the Ford Cen- tre in North York; the lat- ter is coming there in Oc- tober. Together they're clutching a fistful of nominations and awards. As a member of the Toron- to Drama Bench we're per- sonally most pleased by the seven nominations, in- cluding Outstanding Musical Production, given by the New York Drama Desk for Show Boat. The awards will be made this Sunday at a gala celebra- tion in Broadway's Roun- dabout Theatre. An over the wall celebra- tion of quite a different nature is being held this Saturday at the Doral Inn in New York City. That's the banquet honouring the 30th anniversary of the founding of The Sons of The Desert. For those benighted souls who are unaware.** The Sons of The Desert" is an inter -national organization dedicated to the study and appreciation of the art of comedians Laurel and Har- dy. There are close to lou chapters known as tents and named after L.& H. films all around the world. The Toronto tent is known as Tit For Tat and was the fourth one founded.

Though her presence was all prevasive in Miss Saigon. her full range of vocal talent couldn't always be expressed and appreciated. This concert will display the young lady in all her full blown talent. Joining her will be Tyley Ross from "The Who's Tommy". Together they'll perform a song written by Mr. Ross specifically for the two of them. This will be the last oppor- tunity for Toronto au- diences to see Miss D ionisio for quite some time.

That information is gleaned from Joey (en's HOToronto magazine, the new bible of show business activities in Toronto. It's not surprising then, that the jury preparing nominations for the 1995 Dora Awards for ex- cellence in local theatre, reviewed 231 shows to win- now out 32 nominations. Thev ( the nominations) were announced at a City Hall reception on May 12th; the winners will be honourd at the Winter Garden Theatre on June 26th. Your Column was pleased to note that Rita Howell has been nominated for her role in The Wooden Hill; disappointed that Elyssa Livergant was not, for her tour de force in Seascape With Sharks and Dancers. Anyway, the nominations ceremonies were most pleasant - lovely buffet, good wines - and an en- joyable entree to a Spring and Summer reflection of 1994. During the schmoozing, Greg Brown, the newly ap- pointed ppointed Director of Skylight Theatre, advised us that one of this year's at - tractiom there will be a newly written version of Dracula.

The two main operettas scheduled for next season are The Merry Widow and New Moon. Sunday matinees will feature The Lure of Hollywood and Golden Vienna among other delights. On the immediate horizon is Fiesta Latina! next Wednesday evening at the Jane Mallett Theatre. This is an all Spanish concert featuring the music of Puerto Rico, Cuba, Mexico and Spain.

The success of T.O.T. of - fens abundant proof that there'll always be a place for good popular music. FOOD NOTES Hong Kong takes food very seriously. There are more than 6,000 licensed eating establishments there. That's one for every six people. According to the most re- cent figures, seven of the world's ten busiest McDonald's restaurants are located in Hong Kong. Does anyone remember when Toronto's Lichee Garden restaurant opened and used to proclaim "The far East moves West"'. It would seem the reverse has now come about. FAST EXIT The O.J.

Guests definitely get that Tinsel Town feeling as the park rolls out the red carpet for "Hollywood Live on Ice". Featuring six captivating skating segments, "Hollywood Live On Ice" provides a 35 minute look at decades of Hollywood film making - from the ear- ly silent films to the cur- rent popular movies filled with special effects. Fourteen world-class skaters and two vocalists keep audience members on the edge of their seats as the show progresses from the opening to scenes from silent films, horror flicks, classic movies, musical and a James Bond segment before the extravagant "Hollywood" finale. A chorus line of ushers on ice, as well as some of Hollywood's most recognizable characters. helps open the production prior to a scene change and a look at the silent film era. A singing director open the silent film segment on two 3m x 2m video walls on both sides of the ice rink show the action on stage while the dialogue cards displayed on the screen give guests the feeling of watching a silent film.

The multi -faceted attraction is the park's most ambitious project in its history and the biggest undertaking in the history of any Anheuser-Busch Theme Park. The Arctic adven- ture combines a thrilling flight over the frozen North and real life encounters with the animals that live there. "The Arctic remains a Day" and "Shall We Dance" to open the move musicals segment. The real magic of this segment, though, is the rain curtain that sets the scene for a male vocalist's rendition of "Singing in the Rain." The action quickly comes to life again with the lan- ding of a hang glider with close to a four -metres wing span, opening the segment honouring the unstoppable superspy, James Bond. But the entrance is only topped by Bond's exit - via helicopter. The spectaculs set design of the finale ensures that guests won't soon forget mystery to most," says William A.

The Toronto Sun rated this a 1 star film on Mav 7 and I see why. The movie was not funny. there was no action and so I would have to con- cur and give it a 1 star, if that. "Top Dog"• starring karate expert, Chuck Nor - ns, was simply a boring movie, a box office bomb. The film was so bad that not even Chuck Norris could bail it out. Rest assured there will not be a sequel. Two other movies that I saw recently were "Jury Duty." and "Man of the House." "Jury Duty" featured stand-up comedian Pauly Shore. The movie was bas- ed on an out -of -work male stripper -hopeful, who would eventually fail at that. One day, all of a sud- den, he got a notice for jury duty. Well, he took the "job" and became quite good at it. At the end... I won't spoil it for those who have not seen it yet, but Greenw•alks around the school. at the nearby elementary schools and round the neighbourhood. It makes the area look bet- ter. and underscores the social responsibility that students display for their environment. A fresh paint even appeared on the doors of Borden B.T.I.

On Movies changes happen for him %ben he falls for another jurorl, a bright and capable woman. The Toronto Sun rated this a 1 star filth because of the "cracks" made towards O.J. Simp- son, but those cracks are some of the funny parts of the film. I would rate this a 3 star. One of the best films all year was "Man of the House", starring Chevy Chase. However. Chevy Chase wasn't the only "big" actor in the film. There was George Wendt of "Cheers" fame and Jonathan Taylor Thomas from "Home Improve- ment". Chevy Chase plays a man just coming into the life of a woman with a son who is plaved by Jonathan Taylor Thomas. The son proceeds to continually put Chase down. The son is upset because it was just him and his mom for 5 years), then this guy comes around. He feels left out. I personally think that not only people who happen to like these three actors will enjoy this funny movie. I rate this a 4.5 star. For A Super Salad New Zealand Kiwifruit (NAPS)—Light, lus- cious and loaded with nutrition: That's how many describe New Zealand kiwifruit, a tasty snack and refreshing complement for your meals, whatever the time of year. Health and nutrition experts recommend that people should eat five or more servings of fruit and vegetables per day—and what hotter fruit to choose than New Zealand kiwifruit! One serving of two New Zealand kiwi- fruit has as much vitamin C as an orange, as much potassium as a banana, and as much fiber as a 2/3 cup of bran flakes—and has only 90 calories. For even more fiber, eat with- out peeling. New Zealanders say cutting a kiwifruit in half and scooping out the inside with a spoon is the best way to eat it. This minimizes the mess and maximizes the convenience. Of course, New Zea- land kiwifruit also goes great in desserts, juices and scrumptious salads, such as the recipe you'll Lester B. Pearson CI News Boys' Soccer On May 8 the Pearson Bengals played their toughest opponent, Woburn Wildcats.
