During the spring semester, students will grow and monitor space- exposed pacesexposed seeds and Earth - based seeds, searching for differences caused by long- term exposure to cosmic radiation. Results gathered by the students will be for- warded to NASA by June 15, for a final report. For nearly 6 years the seeds were exposed to the harshenvironment of space, subjected to cosmic radiation, temperature ex- tremes, weightlessness and the vacuum of space. Students will be looking for possible mutations to the tomato plant, such as changes in fruit size and colour, growth rate, and leaf, stem and stalk shapes and sizes. The pink grapefruit is a mutation resulting from irradiating the white grapefruit seed. The Space Exposed Ex- periment Developed for Students ( SEEDS) was one of 57 experiments hou ;ecu on the recently recovered 11 -ton Long Duration Ex- posure Facility satellite. After a nearly 6 -year voyage in space, the 12.5 million tomato seeds were rescued by the crew of the Space Shuttle Columbia on Jan. 12, 1990.

This Space Could Be Yours For $9 PER WEEK Page 2 THE NEWS/POST Wed. May 30, 1990 Opinion a page for expression for you and us What Ever Happened To Canadian Nationality? by Bob Watson Our forefathers - at least those of tis who are many generations in Canada - spent a lot of valuable time putting this beautiful Canada of ours together and now a handful of agitators are trying their best to ruin this lovely country of ours. From our point of view this is almost treason and should be dealt with in a decisive way. Back in the days before World War II in the Toronto area it was the English. Irish or Scottish areas of people and those of tris who were born here in Canada had to fight for a long time to get our nationality to the forefront of this coun- try. In 1947 Prime Minister Louis St. Laurent's government passed the Canadian Citizenship Act and those of us with strong Canadian feelings finally became Canadians - not English -Canadians, not Scottish -Canadians and not Irish - Canadians. We were all Canadians. And this included the numbers of Canadians with black skin whose ancestors came up from slavery in the United States to our fair land. For a few years Canadians flourished with "O Canada" becoming jurat a notch ahead of "God Save The Queen", Our British connection had given us the best fund of laws and rules to live by .. until under Prime Minister Trtdeau it was decided to have our own constitution. The British have lived for centuries without a constitution but with a charter of rights and years of tradition to law, which we had in our rules then. The idiotic constitution has created a lot of tensions and Americans warned us that a constitution similar to theirs would make changes in our democracy difficult. Oh they were so right' Now Quebec is trying to get special rights and privileges trader our constitution to foster their feeling of difference from the rest of us Canadians. They want bil- ingualism all across Canada - but no English on signs in Quebec. Some equality' And as for a "distinct" society, what is so different about Quebec society? Is not a citizen of Ontario "distinct" as well' People from British Columbia feel a little different than those of us from Ontario. It is all part of our targe land mass that we can all be different and yet put of the same country. We don't need any official -distinct" societies. Why are Quebecers worrying because a few Ontario peo- ple trample on the Quebec provincial flag'. After all in Quebec they rarely hold up a Canadian flag - but only their own "distinct" provincial flag. Some Canadians' The latest aggravations with towns in Ontario declaring themselves " unilinigual" in order to avoid the cosi of two languages unnecessarily was created by the Peterson government in Ontario when they legislated "official bil- ingualism". When we weren't "official" our children were going to French immersion classes and we are as bilingual as we can be when the French language is not spoken in too many places. In our opinion we should never have laws decreeing that we just speak a certain language. With Quebec's diminishing population and lowest birth rate in Canada it is not difficult to visualize a Quebec which speaks English in 10u years' So why isn't Canadianism being promoted in our dear country in the last few years' Mainly, in our opinion, because politicians believe that they get more votes if they back "multiculturalism" and in Ontario politicians have decreed that we must have "heritage language" classes in schools to promote the languages of our immigrants. And we always thought people came to Canada to become Cana- dian - %0hich means you speak English or French' Here and There tia%v League First Woman President Marilyn Machum of Calgary. Alberta was elected %a- tional President of The Navy League of Canada during the league's recent annual general meeting in Ottawa. She is the first woman to hold this position in the 95 year history of the Navy League. Mrs. Machum's election as the league's 22nd president highlights a long association with the Navy League which began in 1956 when she joined as a Navy League Wrenette at ELh1CS Tecumseh in Calgary. After 13 years as a Navy League Officer, she was appointed to the league's National Council in 1974 and has since chaired numerous league com- mittees.

Photo Fi jr Letter To The Editor Sad & Ashamed Being a conservative all my adult life, (36 years) it is with a great deal of sadness and shame that I am writing this let- ter. But the time has come for me to speak out against the dic- tatorship of Brian Mulroney. I and people like me gave Mr. Mulroney the mandate to serve the people of Canada, we did not give him the mandate to become a dictator. His arrogance and the complete disregard for the democratic rights of the peopleng the G.S.T. is for me the last straw. He is a disgrace Tory party. and a poor excuse for a Canadian. Surely there is something wrong with this country when men of honour and integrity ;the two M.P.s from=) are treated like whip dogs by lying Brian, for having the courageto serve the people by voting against the G.S.T. The G.S.T. is completely unfair and gives Mulroney and Wilson the licence to steal from the people anytime the want. But hope springs eternal, we can stop the G.S. . I.R.A.T.E. citizens of Peterborough have a petition out from the Senate of Canada, if you are against the G.S.T. please sign it. If there is not a petition in your area, contact I.R.A.T.E. citizens of Peterborough K9J ;iii, Box 1473. They need ten million signatures to give the Senate the mandate from the people to stop this hideous tax. The Senate is there to serve the people, if we ignore the Senate then we deserve the dic- tatorstup of lying Brian. Yours sincerely John Welham R_ R. 10 Peterborough. Ont.

Subject to the comments received and upon receipt of necessary approvals, the Metropolitan Toronto Works Department intends to proceed with this project. The Black Creek sanitary drainage area generally comprises those lands adjacent to. and in the vicinity of Keele Street and Jane Street, between St Clair Avenue and Steeles Avenue. This study has been undertaken to plan methods of improving the trunk sanitary sewer system. including correction of existing deficiencies and provision of more capacity for new sanitary flows from proposed urban development and redevelopment projects. A new trunk sewer tunnel is proposed to extend from Murray Ross Parkway. north of Finch Avenue, southerly along Keele Street. to the Hydro Electric Power Commission right-of- way, north of St. Clair. and thence westerly along that right-of-way to intercept the Humber Sanitary Trunk Sewer on the east bank of the Humber River. Connections to the existing Black Creek Sanitary Trunk Sewer will be made along the Maryport Ave. and Nashville/Hyde Ave. right-of-ways. A buried storage facility will be constructed on the southwest corner of Alliance Ave. and Rockcliffe Blvd. The estimated project cost is $98.6 million and the anticipated construction period is 1991-1995. The ESR will be available for review and c)ublic comment at Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto Clerk's Department 390 Bay St. Sth.floor Toronto, Ont.

Shear Madness is the current dinner theatre at- traction at La Cage (Yonge Street just south of Dundas and presided over by old buddy Peter Schopfer) . It's a straight -no raised eyebrows please -comedy about a murder committed in a styling salon located this time 'round in The Beaches. Call it a comic hoodunnit if you like. It most certain- ly is that but in the way of participatory theatre it is up to the audience to deter- mine just hoodtmnit. The audience actually does decide because the ending of Shear Madness is never the same twice running. Well. hardly ever. It's all great fun and per- formed at breakneck speed and little attempt at more than surface characteriza- tion. That's not to say that the players are incapable of it; only to state that it's not necessary for what is a virtual and so intended farce. Michael Lamport looks like Robin Williams and sounds like Charles Hawtrey as he plays the gay proprietor of Shear Madness c ••wee cut arta dye for you"). Mark Camach as Jac- ques Trudeau is essence of bull cop as the police in- spector wearing a Blue Jay's T-shirt. As he is being shaved by the gay owner one wonders if perhaps the name might better be changed to Jacques Strop. Think about that one, gang! Hrothgar Mathews is his assistant and plays the role as now more or less demanded with humbling competence while Neil Faster is along as the chief suspect in the offstage murder. Diane Fabian who has been in Barbara Hamilton's shadow for too long now is a society matron plump of body but filled with a zest for sex and Audrey Webb is the neurotic partner in the salon who might be having an affair but with male or female or both. By now you should have some idea of what to expect from Shear Madness at La Cage . . an evening of laughs, an opportunity to test one's wits and even perhaps to interplay with the performers. You'll also get a reasonably good meal. We recommend the roast beef well done. Mind you that wasn't what we ordered but what we got was sheer serendipity. Well done all 'round, literally and figuratively.

Quoting from the publicity release, "Com- edy, drama and audience participation mix with large puppets, stilt walkers, parade and non- violent action as the play is adapted to Shadowland's unique brand of pageantry, procession and parody." There's no question of parody but why? Why should the works of Aristophanes be presented other than as written and conceived? That brings us to the next quotation from the same release. Artistic Director Alice Norton states "We are ex- cited about taking the au- dience out of a traditional theatrical setting into Har- bourfront's unique outdoor environment." We make no claims that we are a student of theatre history but surely this is the way in which Aristophanes' plays were fust presented .. outdoors. We suggest that Miss Norton learn the difference between tradition and re- cent custom; theatre and theatrical. Those who wish to view the bastardization and pro- bably bowdlerism of a classic are reminded that the performances begin at 9:30 p.m. As for us, we think we'll opt for moussaka at Penelope's. EN POINTE: Yoko lchino and David Nixon have announced that they are leaving the Na- tional Ballet because they wish to dance together more often. Rad Anderson, the Artistic Director of the company feels that the two dancers can develop fur- ther with a variety of part- ners.

Balletomanes will be pleased to note that the Na- tional's annual choreographic workshop is to be held from June 7th through the 9th at the Betty Oliphant Theatre. Tickets are a surprising- ly modest $12 for adults, $10 for seniors and students. We say "surprisingly" because this is an oppor- tunity to see new works. ex- perimental works in their birth pangs; works that might some day become a part of the repertoire d ballet companies throughout the world. It's rather like being in the studio of an artist as be commits his latest work to canvas. Well all right, maybe that's over blown but you know what we meati. Meanwhile those same balletomanes must be chuckling over a recent typo to winch we described a lady dancing a pas de cinq with a gentleman. Even the most modest knowledge of anatomy would signal that gentleman should have read gentlemen. ART SEEN: The Raschar Gallery at 112 Avenue Rd., is presem ting Big Fun in Strange Places, a collection of por- trait photography by Patrick Harbron. Mr. Harbron is a per- sonable young man who looks like a cross between George Fox and Wierd Al Yadkovic. The observation is not intended as a pe- jorative but it sprung to mind after viewing these fine photographs of celebrities and per- sonalities. The true portraitist im- bues each subject with something unique. Mr. Harbron does that in spades with a quality of uniqueness that wanders toward but doesn't quite reach the weird. There is for example a portrait of John Candy with his more or less patented elfin grin. He is not however, centered. He is peeking around the corner of the frame. Ex -president Jimmy Carter is centered but in an apparent shaft of light in front of a curved row of Greek columns while wear- ing a grey business suit. Henny Youngman's por- trait might well be that of the severed head of John the Baptist smiling from the curve of a violin's sound box. These are just a few ex- amples. We would not wish to give the impression that these portraits by Patrick Harbron are to be thought of as funky or unusual; they are simple -simply! - the works of an excellent portraitist, one who takes an undoubted great skill and carries it over into art The exhibition will run until June 21st.

We confess a selfish reason for mentioning the event here. Eyesight is the most precious of the five senses given to us by The Creator. It is even more so for those who do not have good sight or who have stood in danger of losing it. We are one of those. We are grateful for cor- rected vision, grateful that we have vision at all and consider it a privilege to help Ride for Sight in what ever way possible. Good luck R.F.S. and thanks muchly.

Jackson as one of the three finest paintings ever done in Canada, The West Wind is considered the spirit of Canada manifest in a pic- ture.

Thomas John Thomson was born near Claremont, Ont. on Aug. 4, 1877. He drowned tragically in Canoe Lake, Algonquin Park in July 1917. Thomson was basically a self-taught artist working initially in crayon and water colour. He later turned to painting in oils based on rapidly made sketches. During his early career he worked with various commercial studios. He spent the last two summers of his life working in Algonquin Park as a park ranger and guide. Thomson is considered to be the spiritual father of the Group of Seven, if not a :member.

Among the latest innova- tions at Family Villages: a brand-new look in Eleuthera complete with a kid -size sailing fleet and a Pony Club at St. Lucia. At four Club Med villages - Sandpiper, St. Lucia, Pun- ta Cana and Eleuthera - kids between the ages of 2 and 5 stay free May 5 -June 16 and Sept. s -Dec. 15. At Sandpiper. babies ag- ed 423 months are also welcome at no charge. Ix- tapa, however, welcomes 2-5 years old free from May 5 right through to Dec. 15.

Club Med-Sandpiper (Florida) boasts a Mini Club and a Baby Club, making it the only village in this hemisphere where tots 4-23 months are welcorned and cared for from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Club Med's concept is to treat children like real peo- ple, creating a vacation at- mosphere where both parents and kids each have the freedom to pursue their own interests at their own speed. All Mini Clubs are run by specially trained young people who dote on children. Depending on age and village, activities include: waterskiing, swimming, scuba diving, tennis, ar- chery, sailing. bicycling, windsurfing, snorkeling, golf, arts and crafts, pic- nics and excursions. At the newest Mini Club on St. Lucia, Go-Karting on a specially built safety track, and a Pony Club where children 8-12 years old are taught riding fundamentals in daily half-hour classes (extra chrge), are highlighted. But the favourite activity in every Mini Club village is Circus. Flying on a high trapese. Bouncing on the trampoline. Juggling. The best night of the week - when Mini Clubbers put on a Circus Show for their pro- ud parents. Mini Club activities are closely supervised with safety a top concern. All in- structors are highly train- ed and the best child -sized equipment is used for each activity. WHAT IS A MINI CLUB? Mini Club is a club within the main vacation village Let's Kill The 7% Federal GST expressly built for children. Kids 2-11 years of age are welcomed for a full program of activities from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Kids can come for part of the day, the whole day, drop by for a favourite activity, or even skip a day. Early optional supervised lunches and dinners for Mini Clubbers feature foods kids enjoy. And, there are always after-dinner activities: treasure hunts, country fairs, puppet shows, before the major evening enter- tainment begins. Children are divided in Mini Club by age. Petit Club for 2-3 year olds; Mini Club. for 4-6 and Kids Club for the big guys, 8-11. At any time, a child can join his or her family for ac- tivities, returning later to the Mini Club. Baby sitters are available (extra charge) . And there are two nurses as well as a pediatrician, on call, or liv- ing at the village. BABY CLUB - AT THE SANDPIPER From 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. or any portion of that time. tots and toddlers 4-23 mon- ths are cared for by a well- trained staff. The air- catditiated Babv Club has its own separate Baby Club Dining Roan, with a baby food specialist to prepare all the food served. The tots can enjoy lunch with the Club staff. while parents select from the freshly prepared foods for their little one's dinner. There is a convenience room opened 24 hours with sterilizers. bottle warmers, mixers, and a refrigerator stocked with milk. juice and snacks. Strollers, cribs, potties and nursery monitors are all provided free. A real paradise for toddlers. ELEUTHERA ( Bahamas ) There's a new look at Club Med-Eleutbera after an $8 million makeover.

This week is dedicated to June 9 at 9 a.m., and phone the environment, so take with Rene Soetens, M.P. At the present time, there are two rather contentious bills before the federal government. These two issues have the potential to affect a large number of Canadians. The mat- ters at hand are the Act to Amend the UI Act (Bill C-21) and An Act respecting abortion. On November 6th, 1989 An Act to Amend the UI Act pass- ed third reading in the House of Commons after being in- troduced to the House one year ago. However, the Senate has refused to pass the Bill, instead offering a number of amendments. Bill C-21 has majority support across the country, as evidenced by both departmental and indepen- dent polling, contrary to the claims of the Liberal Senators. The price -tag for the amendments demanded by Liberal Senators is at least $1.7 billion dollars annually. That is money we simply do not have. Bill C-21 has many positive aspects which the Liberal dominated Senate refuses recognize.toThe Bill will in- crease expenditures for those kng training by $350, transferring the emphasis of UI from support benefits to training and skills development. The amendments will in- troduce a multi -tiered system of maternity, parental, and sickness benefits up to thirty weeks as compared to the pre- sent fifteen. In addition, there will be tougher qualifying rules for UI claimants. If the Liberals and NDP agree with what the Liberal Senators are doing, they are agreeing that the Senate not only has the power to change spending priorities set by the House, but ought to wield that power. On May 23rd and 24th, the Legislative Committee study- ing the abortion legislation will report back to the House. During the Report stage, any amendments to the Bill are corssi and possible further amendments may be made. Once this stage is the Bill is given its thud reading upon which it will be voted on May 28th. May 14th to 2Dth is Canada's fourth National Tourism Awareness Week. As a ma national industry, tourism plays a key role in the vitality of the Canadian economy. The most recent data indicates that tourism in Canada is now a $24 billion industry, employing over 63D,000 Cana- dians and ranks third among Canada's top foreign ex- change earnings. About $11 billwn of the total tourism revenue goes back to the municippaal, provincial and federal governments. The tourism industry helps to build roads, schools. arenas, and helps to support a larger number of social programs. For every dollar spent by a tourist, an additional 67 cents is ac- tually generated within the community. As a result. the $24 billion spent by tourists in 1988 actually represents over $40 billion in economic activity in Canada. So if you see a 'ourist, be nice to them.
