prove restart of units 1, 3
and 4 of the Pickering A
station once she is satisfied
that all necessary pre -start
actions have been com-
pleted.
The decision removes the
shutdown order for those
three units that the board
imposed last December

On Employment Equity
by Bob Watson
Among the many pieces of bad legislation which the NDP
government has put into action during its regime, the
Employment Equity Bill 79 is among the worst. And PC
Leader ATike Harris says he would scrap this Bill 79 when
he gets into power.
The bill was put into action by the NDP in order to stop
"discrimination in the workplace". What it did was to start
discrimination against "white males".
Many American -owned companies in Ontario have moved
back to the C.S. because their owners object to the provin-
cial government dictating to a private company just how
man• of the so-called minorities it should hire. Queen's
Park insists that each company have so many people who
have black skin, brown skin, are Chinese or are females.
This is ridiculous because companies are forced to ignore
white males in order to get to the percentages of different
kinds of people that the government has dictated to them.
We believe that companies should have the right - and they
have it even•where else - to hire whom they think is the
most qualified person. The colour of a persons skin or sex
gender should have no bearing on hiring.
We believe in equality for everybody and we hope we get a
new government which will give is EQUALiT'Y.
Thanks To Volunteers
On behalf of the Children's Wish Foundation of Canada I
would like to thank all the volunteers who participated in
the 5 pin tournament sponsored by Scarborough 5 pin
League held on Mar. 19, 1995.
Their hard work and dedication raised a generous dona-
tion for The Children's Wish Foundation. Of every dollar
donated 97.2° will go directly to granting the special
wishes of children suffering from high risk, life threatening
illness.
Nye at the Foundation would also like to extend our heart-
felt appreciation to the residents of Scarbonxo that
generously supported the Scarborough 5 pin League in their
efforts to bring joy and laughter into the lives of those very
special children. Our work is vital and your interest and
support is fundamental to our existence.
With warmest regards,
The Children's Wish Foundation

But i, the Metro 'Loo an appropriate place to have a pint".
Concern, Canada. a drug education organization head-
quartered in Agincourt, thinks it isn't.
Thousands of Ontario school children flock to the zoo
every month. to broaden their knowledge of wild life and to
enjo} the out -of doors. The beer garden will be located close
to the MacDonald's restaurants which provides a natural
rendezvous for children to rest ,ore feet. await the arrival
of friends and feed their hungry bodies.
"1Ahy can't there be a few educational environments
where parent_. and teachers can take kids without the in-
fluence of alcohol"' asks Keith Farraway, President of
Concerns. Canada.
Keith. a former Deputy Cbief of Police, has seen his share
of 'child abuse' caused by alcohol problems in the home. He
represented Concerns. Canada at a recent LLBO hearing to
consider the Zoo's application. "Many visitors drive to the
zoo. All we need is one serious accident caused by patron's
drunk driving to destroy the excellent reputation of the
Metro Zoo,— said Keith.
Concerns Canada is a national, not-for-profit, charitable
organization worsting to achieve healthy lifestyles free
from alcohol and other drug abuses for all Canadians. Its

Ontario Multi -Faith Coalition For Equity In Education
An Ontario multi -faith coalition is making the fundamen-
tal question of equal educational justice for all parents and
students. including the public funding of alternative and in-
dependent schools, a major issue during the Ontario elec-
tion campaign.
The coalition is urging all political candidates to speak
their minds on parental choice and fiscal equity for all
minority faith and values communities active in Ontario
education, without discrimination based on people's
religious beliefs.
The Ontario multi -faith Coalition for Equity in Education
represents Islamic, Hindu, Sikh and Christian organiza-
tions and concerned community groups across Ontario. The
coalition promots educational justice, legal equality and
fiscal fairness in the treatment of the diverse religious and
values communities participating in Ontario schools.
To facilitate public dialogue, the coalition has released the
official replies of four party leaders to three questions
regarding the pressing need for parental choice and fiscal
equity in Ontario education. Bob Rae, Lyn McLeod. Alike

parties, express their difference responses in a coalition
bulletin that is being widely distributed throughout Ontario.
The party leaders' diverse views are expected to provoke
considerable discussion at all -candidates meetings and to
influence the voters' choices.
The coalition insists the fundamental freedoms and equali-
ty rights guaranteed by the Canadian Charter of Rights and
Freedoms apply equally to all parents and students, as well
as to the schools now financed by minority faith com-
munities.
"All Ontario politicians should unequivocally affirm the
equal citizenship rights of all Ontario parents and students.
They should reject the Ontario government's unfair
discrimination against non-Catholic faith groups. We simp-
ly wish to exercise our human rights and educational
responsibilities in harmony with our respective beliefs and
values," says Gerald Vandezande, the coalition's Govern-
ment Relations Coordinator. "All Ontario residents arer
equally entitled to equitable tax treatment."

Enumeration Of Voters From May 11 to 17
The enumeration of all
eligible voters in Ontario
for the 36th Ontario
General Election begins
May 11th and continues un-
til Wed.May 17th. Over
40,0OU enumerators, work-
ing in pairs, will enumerate
more than six million elec-
tors within four days.
To be eligible to vote in
this election, individuals
must be 18 years of age on
election dayl, a Canadian
citizen at the time of voting
and a resident of Ontario
for the six months prior to
election day.
No information is re-
quested by enumerators
concerning an elector's
marital status or occupa-
tion. Individuals may
choose to register their in-
itials in place of given
names and there is no re-
quirement to indicate Mr..
Mrs.. Miss or Ms. prefixes.
The enumeration will be
done by pairs of
enumerators appointed by
the Returning Officer in
each of the province's 130
electoral districts. In
undertaking their dutiels.
enumerators, carrying for-
mal identification, will
visit each household to
determine the names of all
qualified elector in the
residence, ask questions
relating only to voter
qualifications and provide
each enumerated elector
with a Form 301, an
enumeration receipt listing
the elector's name, elec-
toral district, poll number
and polling place.
When enumeration takes
place in apartment and
other multi -dwelling
buildings, the Election Act
requires that enumerators
have free access. An
enumeration notice will be
provided for such buildings
stating the dates and times
of door-to-door visits, as
well as the times when
enumerators will be
available at a designated
location in the building to
accept the names of
qualified electors.
To confirm enumeration,
the Office of the Returning
Officer sends cards to those
enumerated, notifying the
recipients that they are
qualified. The location of
the polling place is also
confirmed on the card.

A wild Mother's Day
0 n M(Alwr's Day, when we
ho toxo the mothers of our
,)wn specks, spare a warns
thought for the mothers of other
species as well.
For any species, the myriad detaiLs
of survival arc part of a strategy to ful-
fil a single, overwhelming imperative:
successful reproduction.
Everything is focused con maintain-
ing the number of individuals sustain-
able within a given habitat. It's simple
mathematics: if species members are
born at a faster rate than the rate at
which they die, the population
increases. If, over a given time, more
individuals die than are born, num-
bers decline.
Once horn, offspring must also sur-
vive long enough to become capable
of reproducing once again. Biologists
call this "recruitmem." Only then has a
population or a species ensured its Sur-
vival for another generation. Mothers
are responsible for nurturing the new-
born and often teach skills necessary
to reach maturity, especially in mam-
mals.
So think about the mother Grizzly
Bear emerging from her den after a
long winter. She is thin and a little tat-
tered. Shortly after moving into the
den about three months earlier she
gave birth to two cubs. All three have
lived off her stored body fat since then.
She has lost a quarter of her body
drawn from throughout the
Greater Toronto area.
The chorus comprises
three groups, organized by
age and ability... Group 1
(the Preparatory Chorus.
ages 6 and up): Group 11
(the Training Chorus. ages
1 to 12): and, Group 111
(the Full Chorus ages 10 to
16). All three groups will be
participating in the Spring
Concert.

formation call 872-2222.

fat and happy a+ they tumble from the
den to begin their cxpkit-4icors.
Think of mother Blue Whak, w•ho
gives birth to an infant the size of an
elephant after a gestation of nearly a
year, and then provides the calf with
2_50 litres of milk a day for eight more
months.
Think sof the Low-erhead Turtle
who cones ashore at night with other
female turtles to lay eggs.
The big I A-)ggerheads have always
done this along coastlines of the north-
ern hemisphere. But in recent times
human encroachment upon the turtles'
favourite laying grounds has drastical-
ly lowered the animals' reproduction
rates.
Fewer and fewer females arrive
each season to brave the beaches, but
they still corse. It is in the nature of all
species to try.
Around the world, wild animal
mothers fight for the survival of their
offspring and thus for the survival of
their species. Sadly, it is often human
indifference that keeps them from suc-
ceeding when human compas-
sion would help ensure their

non -rated 15 minute

Mucignat then proceeded

A had a slow start, that's

an employee with the City
of Scarborough. -'Perhaps
1 took Horst too lightly in
the quarter -finals but to be
fair, he offered staunch
resistance. -
A was able to dominate
Romeo but the score belies
the hard-fought nature of
the semi-final match. As
for the championship
playoff with Uno, the
match was very hotly con-
tested. The first three
games were adjourned. On
assumption, the score
evened out to 1.5-1.5 a
piece. Then, I was able to
outplay Uno in game 4 and
win the title."
"Arguably, those games
with Uno represent the best
chess I've played this
season so far. I salute him
as a worthy opponent and
acknowledge his pre-
eminence in the endgame
phasel." added Mucignat.
John W. Puusa, President
of the inter -regional
A.W.H.P.A.W.O. Chess
Association, congratulated
Mucignat and presented
him with the champion's
trophy, then presented the
runner-up's book prize to
Wesingi.
"Absolutely incredible,
exciting match chess. This
tournament mever ceases
to provide excitement
season after season. I con-
gratulate Ernie and Uno
for their hard-fought title
bout but the other matches
had interesting contests as
well.

tributing to the competitive

Depression: shedding light on a dark illness
It was at the dinner table
when U.dia first noticed that
her hu%band. Paul. a ?-1 %ear
old architect. had changed.
Once out,oing and atten-
tive. Paul now watched TV
during evrry meal. Evcn
time either of their young
daughter% launched into It
stun, he would turn up the
.olumr. When Lydia tried to
talk to Paul, his replies were
short and curt. Although
Lydia didn't %a% an thing
when Paul .topped doing the
dishes. his behaviour be -
carne harder to ignore when
he began calling in sick to
work — even though he was
perfectly healthy.
When L%dia visited Dr.
Browne. the family physi-
cian for a check-up weeks
later. she mentioned in pass-
ing that Paul was not him-
self. Pressed for details.
L%dia haltingly described
how her husband would
spend half the night pacing
around the bedroom or
watching TV. napping the
afternoon away whenever
possible. She confessed that
he seemed to have lost inter-
est in intimacy and even sex.
Where their children were
concerned. Paul was barely
able to remember their
names. much less their inter-
ests and activities.
Inexplicable Sadness
Instead of recommending
a marriage counsellor. as
Lydia hard anticipated. Dr.
Brownc suggested that Paul
make an appointment with
her. A tew days later he sat
in Dr. Brownc's office talk-
ing about feelings of sad-
ness. low self-esteem.
anxiet% and apathy. He
didn't know why: but hes
.topped taking pleasure in
his family and his life. By
the end of the meeting. Dr.
Browne felt fairly certain
that Paul was suffering from
clinical depression.
Depression is a legitimate
medical condition which af-
fects 4,.4 million Canadians
at some point in their lives.
Sufferers have no control
over the onset of depression.
The% may not even under-
stand what has come over
them when it strikes. For
their part, loved ones wait
anxiously for the 'mood' to
pass. normalizing the situa-
tion by pretending nothing is
wrong — even though the
suffering can stretch into
months or even years.
A Treatable illness
Ironically. depression is
the most treatable of all
mental illnesses. As it
stands, there are two main
methods of addressing de-
pression: counselling and
drug therapy. Through one
or both of these options. it is
estimated that ?SU': to 90`:
of the afflicted can find re-
lief.
In case,, of mild to mod-
erate depression. which are
often prompted by interper-
sonal problems or losses.
therap% can teach people
how to reduce the impact of
stress and to correct the
thought patterns that can
generate negative moods.
More severe depression.
however. is believed to he
caused h\ a deficicnc\ of
certain chemicals in the
brain. In these cases, an an -
tidepres%ant may be required
to restore the brain's natural
Ieyel of mood mediating
chemicals.
Fewer Side Effects
Antidepressants alleviate
symptoms in four to eight
weeks. l;nfortunateh. not
every antidepressant is well-
tolerated by even in-
dividual. Some patients ex-
perience do mouth, consti-
pation. weight gain and
sedation — side effects which
may prompt them to discon-
tinue drug therapy.
On the positive side, an-
tidepressants have come a
long way since they were
first introduced in the '60s.
As researchers fine-tune the
mechanism of the drug, side
effects become fewer and
milder. For example, one re-
cently -marketed antidepres-
sant seems to exhibit fewer
side effects than its prede-
ces%urs. It also addresses
three kcy concern% of man}
depressed patients: it help%
improve sleep quality, it re-
duces the anxiety often as-
sociated with depression,
and it doesn't contribute to
sexual dysfunction.
Although there are many
unanswered questions
about depressive illness.
two points have emerged
clearly. The first is that
there is no reason for anv
individual to be ashamed
of the condition: depres-
sion is a legitimate medical
disorder. The second is that
there is no reason to suffer:
treatment does exist and
can begin with a visit to
one's healthcare pro-
fessional.
For more information on
depressive illnesses call
1-800-828- HOPE.
DEPRESSION: ARE YOU AT RISK?
Although there is no physical test to pinpoint the
disease, depression is characterized by a sad, despair-
ing mood. If you or someone you know has been
experiencing the following symptoms for more than
two weeks. -see your doctor.
• Preoccupation with failures and inadequacies or
excessive guilt
• Feelings of worthlessness
• A%oidance of formerly enjoyable activities and
contacts
• Difficulty concentrating or making a decision
• Suicidal thoughts
• Changes in appetite
• Decreased sexual drive
• Difficulty sleeping or increase in the amount of
sleep needed
• Loss of energy or agitation

An evening of ballets by
Frederick Ashton is always
a pleasure. His
choreography is always
brilliant and always set to
the works of composers
whose music is melodic.
Some believe that music
should be almost incidental
to ballet and they might be
correct. Most though, con-
sider it to be integral and
part of the over all enjoy-
ment.
If an evening of Ashton
works is a pleasure. then
an evening of them per-
formed by the National
Ballet, and including two
company premieres ap-
proaches bliss as Your Col-
umn can attest after the
opening of its Spring
Season at The O'Keefe.
The evening began with
"The Dream", freely
adapted from
Shakespeare's "A Midsum-
mer Night's Dream" set to
the familiar music of
Me nde Issohn- Ba rthol dy .
Yseult Lendvai was a
superbly sensuous Titania
oppossite the Oberon of
Aleksandar Antonijeyic.
who displayed a human
side to his characterization
to add to his properly satur-
nine bearing. Together
they danced magically and
majestically.
The Puck of Michael
Doerner was energetic but
fluid in the gentleman's ap-
parent contempt for the
bounds of gravity.
The quartet of young
lovers -Sarah Green. Jen-
nifer Fournier. Christopher
Kiss and Nicholas Khan -
%as essence of young love.
Each one seemed to sur-
pass his or her own self in
the joy of the dance and
characterization. A special
curtsy please to Miss
Green as the addled
Helena.
Then there was Philippe
Dubuc as Bottom. It's
always a surprise to see a
male dancer en pointe but
once the surprise abated
one marvelled at Mr.
Dubuc's seerrung mastery
of the technique.
Guest conductor Allen
Lewis handled the score
lovingly -almost too much
so -in delivering the
ethereal effect of an en-
chanted midsummer night.
Monotones One was a
company premiere. Set to
the music of Erik Satie's
Prelude d'Eginhard and
Gnossiennes it's an almost
stark work for three
dancers. It's quite short but
in its time each of the three
peform line moves of grace
and wonder. Richard Lan-
dry partnered Greta
Hodgkinson and Sarah
Marks with a strength to
match their elegance.
Monotones Two is rather
much like an encore of its
precedent. Which is not to
say it's the same but simp-
Iv more to appreciate. The
three dancers were the en-
chanting Margaret illman.
Nils-Bertil Wallin and
Nicholas Khan.
The show piece of the
evening was the company
premiere of A Month In
The Country set to the
music of Chopin which.
mirabile dictu, perfectly
suits the otherwise turgid
Turgenev tale upon which
it's based. Space does not
permit a retelling of it but
most readers know it in any
case.
As Natalia the bored
young wife. Kimberley
Glasco is wonderful. She
moves with grace and
dances as though possessed
by a longing for physical
and spiritual love.
Ryan Bourne as her house
guest admirer is quietly
diabolic but. in the endl. no-
ble with sense enough to
realize a lost cause.
Ptulilp Lau as the son is
entrusted with the most
gymnastic of dancing
moves and carries them off
successfuuy.
Sonia Rodriguez as her
ward brings to the stage all
the longing of adolescence
and young love.
A nice saucy hit is con-
tnbuted by Brenda Mat-
thews as the maid in her
dalliance with the tutor
engaged by the family.
Around and About
Your Dining &Entertainment Guide
Ah. the tutor fie is lusted
for by the lady of the house,
by her ward and by her
maid. He, however, has
love only for Natalia. Of
course, given Turgenev,
one knows that all of the
loves and lusts are doomed
but one keeps hoping that
just maybe ....
Robert Tewsley danced
the role in a way that couild
scarce be improved. He's
young and looks it but he's
also possessed of the
knowledge of what's right
and what's wrong. The mo-
ment where he silently
tosses a rose to his unat-
tainable love after kissing
the tail of her ribbon is sen-
sual and noble at the same
time.
Readers will have noted
that we've made perhaps
too little mention of the
dancing. Our apologies if
that be sol butt, truth to
tell, the task of description
almost defies us. Naturally
it's Ashton and naturally
the dancers rise to it with
controlled enthusiasm and
artistry. But, to describe
how is like trying to
describe the beauty of a
field rose.
One can sav only that A
Month In The Country is a
triumph and well worth the
persistence of Artistic
Director Reid Anderson in
securing it from the Royal
Ballet. We predict it will
now become a staple of our
National Ballet.
Ah bliss.

Sahely and Jonathan
Wilson, young veterans of
the improv comedy scene,
have joined together to
form a troupe performing
full length improvisational
plays at every perfor-
mance. Here's the M.O.
Before each performance,
every member of the au-
dience is invited to write a
sentence on a provided
sheet of paper and drop it
in one of the baskets placed
on stage. The first one
chosen becomes the title of
that evening's play. I Not
To Be Repeated is the
name of the troupe. I From
time to time during the
play. a cast member takes
another sentence from one
of the baskets and incor-
porates it into the action.
The results are quite fun-
ny bul, this observer
anyway. suspects they are
somewhat less than im-
provised. The supposed au-
dience submissions are too
timely, too pat, too literate.
The responses to them are
ditto. Or seem so. It's real-
ly not important whether or
not our suspicions are cor-
rect. What matters is that
the talented trio travel a
road of comedy that leaves
one chuckling and even
laughing aloud.
On the evening of our at-
tendancel, the "play" dealt
with a young couple who
have separated after living
together for nine years. She
has a compulsion to shout
obscenities. He clan no
longer tolerate tofu and
subsists on a diet of
restaurant french fries and
gravy. Their mutual friend
is a greeting card poet suf-
fering writer's block.
Other assorted
characters, all played con-
vincingly by the principals
to an improvised acom-
paniment by Greg Mor-
rison, include among
others. a flake who believes
he'll be reincarnated as a
rodent, a sincere but
covertly randy telephone
installer, a waitress and a
teacher responsible for the
young lady's strange com-
pulsion. It seems she had
taken her primary school
class on a tour of a
slaughter house.
Impossible premise? Of
course' Does it work? In
spades' Don't take our
word for it though: go see

Dental Health Month's top ten list for a healthier smile
It's always the right time to take care
of your oral health.
So in honour of Dental Health Month
(April), the Ontario Dental Association
has assembled a top ten list of ways to
help keep you smiling all year 'round.
Number ten
Brush in a gentle, circular motion (at
a 45 degree angle to your teeth) and
floss after meals. This will help remove
bacteria that can lead to topcoth decay.
Number nine
April is Dental Health Month, but
it's also prime time for Easter choco-
lates.
The average Canadian cats 40 kg
(88 Ib) of sugar each year. So try to
choose sugar -free snacks like fruits and
vegetables, to help reduce the risk of
tooth decay.
Number eight
If you're not happy with your
gapped, stained or chipped teeth, ask
Sit back and rela-r 'cause your
healthy smile will always be in
style
your dentist about the latest options in
cosmetic dentistry.
Number seven
Regular dental visits let your dentist
conduct a complete examination of
your oral health, and to spot any prob-
lems early on.
It is also one of the few times when it's
completely acceptable to wear a bib.
Number six
Try not to chew ccild, hard substances
like ice cubes. They can cause micro-
scopic cracks in the enamel of your teeth,
that can eventually weaken them.
Number five
Canadians love their football and
hockey. Unfortunately, damaged teeth
are often the result of sports injuries.
You can give your teeth a sporting
chance by wearing a mouth guard to
prevent tooth damage.
Your dentist can offer advice on the rno%1
appropriate mouth protection for you.
Number four
By checking your gums regularly,
you can spot am early signs of gum
disease. Like forest tires, you tcxw can
help present gum disease.
Number three
It really pays to keep your teeth in tip
top shape. According to a recent Ontario
Dental .As cxiation poll, 73 per cent of
Ontarians said they would not kiss
someone if the% didn't like their teeth.
Number two
If you have bruxism it means you
grind your teeth. Bruxism is often the
result of stress. Your dentist can sug-
gest exercises to help you relax your
jaw muscles.
He or she can also recommend a
mouth guard to help prevent tooth
wear, especially if you grind your teeth
while sleeping.
Number one
And the number one tip to remember
during Dental Health Month this April:
remember to flash %our pearly whites,
because unlike pet rocks, eight tracks,
mood rings, and pang, a healthy smile
is alwa%s in st%le!

First Canadian Club Sports Survey

World Figure Skating Championships in Japan and a uIver at the
04-mpics. were voted the number mo slums saory in Canadian
Club's Sports Survey. Photo c ourtesv of the Canadian Figure• Skat-
ing Association and Mike Ridewoud.
There's never quite been a
year for sports like 1994.
Unlike years' past, 1994 ex-
posed a darker side to sports
with the baseball season strik-
ing out early and a players'
lock -out putting the National
Hockey League's 1994 95
season in the deep freeze.
However. the year was also
notable for George Foreman's
heavy weight boxing title win
at age 45 and Jacques Vil-
leneuve's second place finish
at his first Indy 500.
These stories and many
others caught the attention of
Canadians during 1994. But a
recent survey conducted for
Canadian Club, the number
one Canadian rye whisky in
Canada, shows which sporting
events were the indisputable
champions last year. Here are
the "winners" based on the re-
sults from five different regions:
Canada's first World
Hockey title win since 1961
was the top sports story iden-
tified in the 1994 Canadian
Club Sports Survey. When the
Smokeaters from Trail, B.C.
won hockey's World Cham-
pionship in 1961 no one from
Canada's 1994 team had even
been horn. The 1994 team
found themselves in the semi-
final against Sweden —
Canada's Olympic nemesis.
Team Captain Luc Robi-
taille's hat trick led the way to
a 6-0 win. Canada finally won
in a shoot-out that ended a
three decade dry spell.
The exhilarating achieve-
ments of Etyis Stojko. with a
gold at the World Figure Skat-
ing Championships to Japan
and a silver at the Olympics.
were voted the number two
sports story in Canadian
Clubs Sports Sun c y. Stoj ko's
Olympic performance was ex-
ceptional. but the judges
awarded the gold to Alexei
Urmanov of Russia. Neverthe-
less. during the World Cham-
pionships in Japan. Elvis won
gold and was finally on top of
the world.
The number three sports
story was Myriam Bedard
who tools two gold medals in
the biathlon at the Winter
Olympic%. In the 7.5- and 15-
kilomctrc hiathlons. Myriam
powered through the skiing
portions of the race. In the 15
km course. Myriam missed
only two of 21) targets and
wort the race h% more than 46
seconds. Myriam is only the
,ccond Canadian to win two
L:,
,Id mc"s at s single Winter
lvmpic% — the other being
specd%katcr Gaeten Boucher.
In the number four spot in
Canadian Cluhs Sporn Sur-
� et is a silver medal by
Canada's Olympic Hockev
learn. The last time Canada
Next hockc%'s Olympic gold
was in 195_' when the Edmon-
ton Mercuries triumphed at
the Oslo games. The gold and
silver medals were decided in
a thrilling finale when the
1994 Canadian Olympic
hockey team was defeated by
Sweden in a shoot out — the
first time the gold medal was
decided in this fashion.
Canadian Club's Sport Sur-
vev identified Jean Luc Bras-
sard's gold medal in the free-
style mogul event in Norway
as the number five sports
story of 1994. In the number
six spot is the New York
Rangers' Stanley Cup win,
snapping a 54 year jinx. Pairs
figure skaters Lloyd Eisler's
and Isabelle Brasseur's final
amateur victories— a bronze
medal in Lillehammer and a
sib er at the World Champion-
ships — were rated number
seven.
The Canadian Club .Sports
Survev has the National
Hockey League players' lock
out in eighth place.
In ninth place is the Mon-
treal Expos' great season
which was foiled by the base-
ball strike — itself the num-
ber Ill story in the survey. The
1994 baseball season was
shaping up as one of the best
in recent memory with excit-
ing pennant races brewing in
both the American and
National leagues. The Mon-
treal Expos were leading the
NL East — seven and a half
games ahead of Atlanta —
and the Cleveland Indians
hoped to overcome a 411 year
jinx as they battled the Chi-
cago White Sox in the AL
Central. Five players were on
track to hit 50 home runs and
one of them, San Francisco's
Matt Williams, was heading
to break Roger Maris' 33 year
record of 61 home runs in a
season. But excitement on the
field was unrequited in the
hoardrooms. On August 12, a
strike by the Major League
Players Association put the
scaso n on the bench for good.
What highs and klws will
the sports world deliver in
1995:' Only time will tell.
The 1994 Canadian Club
Sports Survey was conducted
by Goldfarb & Associates be-
tween Nov. I(kh and 16th in
five region across Canada. A
total of 1.1100 telephone inter-
views were conducted, pro-
ducing results accurate to plus
or minus four percentage
points 19 times out of 20.

Bovs' Soccer
On Friday Pearson faced
its biggest test of the
season when it hosted a big.
fast and strong Campbell
team. The game began
wnth a strong wind favour-
ing the Campbell Celtics,
so much of the play re-

of the field.
However, with Pearson
mounting several counter
attacks as the half pro-
gressed, Warren Hutchin-
son finally scored on a nifty
three touch effort.
As the second half began

and so did the Pearson
