Page 2 THE NEVI'S POST Wed. February 13, 1991 Opinion a page for expression for you and us About Health Care Dear Editor: I would like to respond to the column by David Somerville entitled "Hospitals Need Business Sense" which appeared in your Dec. 19 issue. Mr. Somerville's inference that On- tario's public hospitals should be privatized because they are poorly run and their management teams lack skills found only in the private sector is simplistic and lacks an understanding of health care in Ontario. I agree with Mr. Somerville's statement that hospitals need "private sector expertise'% in fact since the early 1820s. public hospitals in Ontario have been managed by volunteer boards of directors drawn from members of the community in all walks of life -including accountants. lawyers, and other representatives of the private or "business" sector. This spirit of volunteer management is what makes Ontario's hospital system the en -.y of the world, as individuals willingly donate their time, their energy, and their expertise to their hospital, which serves the community on a not-for-profit basis. One teaching hospital has estimated that the expertise of volunteers on one committee alone is worth over 5500.000 a year in donated consulting fees. The result of a privately -operated health care system as envisioned by Mr. Somerville can be seen in the United States, where 1o^ of the Grass National Product is spent on health care as opposed to 8.6% in Canada. The Canadian system serves all Canadians universally. while thirty-six million Americans have no health care insurance at all. An Associated Press story of Dec. 28 stated that "Canada's universal health care system functions better and costs less than health care in the United States". Hospitals receive their operating finding from the Ministry of Health. and since 1975. hospitals' share of the overall health expenditure has decreased by 14.6%. not tak- ing inflation into account. Yet compared to 1980, last year hospitals cared for 96.3% more Ontanans in general and specialized out-patient clinics and 5.1% more Ontarians as in -patients. Clearly. our hospital systan is using a decreas- ing share of the pie to serve an increasing number of pa- tients in more diverse ways. This is done through increased efficiencies. use of "high tech" advancements, and in- novative practices such as the hospital in the hoax. in which caregivers visit the patient's lame, and day hospitals, in which patients return hone after receiving hospital treatment during the day. As well. hospitals have pooled together to operate purchasing programs through the Ontario Hospital Association to take advantage of volume discounts on item as diverse as furniture, drugs and natural gas. Ontario's 224 public hospitals care for their communities in an effective and efficient manner through the hard work and dedication of health care workers and community volunteers. Our system is clearly evolving towards out- patient and community-based care. yet we cannot com- promise the principle of a publicly -operated, universally accessible. not-for-profit hospital system wtuch 73% of On- Luians feel is among the best in the world. Yours truly. Gordon R. Cunningham Here and There Funds For Sportability A new, innovative recreation program for young children has received a significant financial boost from the provin- cial government. The Ministry of Tourism and Recreation has awarded a large grant to the Ontario Physical and Health Education Association to market the new Sportability program to schools and recreation departments in southern Ontario. The funds, s350,000 in total, will be provided over a three- year period to assist with development and production costs. Sportability teaches young children basic sports skills in three categories: track & field, gymnastics and team games. It emphasizes technique and fun instead of competi- tion. The program debuted last year in northern Ontario. The program will be made available to all 4,000 elementary schools in the province, as well as recreation departments, community gaups, youth organizations and service clubs. news o s t Published every Wednesday by Watson Publishing Company Limited.

Against The War Dear Editor: Scarborough Mayor Joyce Trimmer, Jean Chretien, and, of course, our Prime Minister Brian Mulroney are sug- gesting Canadian citizens show support to our military per- sonnel in the battle in the Gulf. I want to say to these people, I was going to say with resepct but one of them I cannot br- ing myself to respect. I support our military men and women. I do not support the politicians who are responsible for getting our forces in this military confrontation. This in- cludes the United Nations for whom I still hope to have a high regard. I believe the world held the United Nations in higher esteem than the new low they have allowed themselves to become. These sinister deeds of war by sinister men whose piousness can not stand the test of time required for diplomacy. Anyone that believes the United Nations sanc- tioned military action against Saddam Hussein is not yet familiar with the back door tactics employed by Brian Mulroney to drag Canadian people and get us involved in military action in this Gulf war. This back door strategy of involvement was probably a repeat of that perfected on the international scene at the United Nations by the Bush administration. A preordained war even to the reported appropriation of funds. Since the United States insistance to take full military initiative the natio.-is were not assertive or neglectful in not acting on alternatives such as an international embargo. If we may apply their fancy vocabulary to such terms as "surgical cut in an embargo" instead of to war, we had time and the world on our side. War is now imposing an em- bargo on the whole world through military depletion of resources wealth and environment. Surgical cuts as they are now called in terms of an embargo would have limited pressure on the targeted country of Iraq instead of as now the whole world. Of course, the silly argument Brian Mulroney put for- ward was that it wasn't the military that would suffer it would be the underprivileged. The underprivileged, of cause, carry the burden in any circumstances, including South Africa where Mulroney endorsed and spatted in favour of sanctions. International diplomacy was throughout history torpedoed by desperate men by greatly exaggerating an alternate consequence and its more im- mediate supposed danger. The reference to Hitler is another desperate attempt at the stampede tactics. The embargo was not scuttled at the United Nations because of a weakness, rather it was scuttled to hide a secret agenda of military control. We could have waited until Saddam Hus- sein's armour rusted. Was war a foregone conclusion con- venient as a diversion to the problems in the East, and a diversion to help Weston politicians in political difficulty at home? It is never too late for diplomacy in place of bodies. We want our soldiers back alive: we are the people who do care. nor are we about to jump on the band wagon when some people say jump. Bring our soldiers back home. They can help Canadians go after Brian Mulroney. He is the teal Bandito in Canada. Yours truly Mike Boychyn 35 Wandering Trail Scarborough, Ont MIX 1K4 Here and There Changing Student Awareness Concerns, ns, Canada is asking college and university students across the country to re-evaluate their drinking habits in light of recent changes in public, government and judicial attitudes about alcohol use. Karl Burden, Executive Director of the Toronto based na- tional association, said today that significant changes in the 1980's in areas of both criminal and civil law should force students and school administrators to seriously consider the risks involved in excessive, uncontrolled ed alcohol use and service. Training Funding In response to a demand for more clerical workers in the Scarborough area, Canadian Jobs Strategy funding of $211,162 will be used to provide training to 20 immigrant women for jobs in office work. The sponsor, Centennial College is providing classroom instruction and on-the-job training in various aspects of clerical work. The classroom training of the participants will encompass life skills as well as pre-employment skills like keyboarding, word processing and Lotus 1-2-3. This course will also emphasize the development of writ- ten and verbal skills necessary for the Canadian business office. The on-the-job training will be with private sector placements and will provide participants with practical ap- plications to their newly acquired skills as well as valuable, recent work experience. Citizens For Public Justice Want 2 Gps.To Coordinate Both the "pro-life" and the "pro -choice" forces invested huge amounts of energy and money in their campaign to defeat Bill C -Q. Traditional adversaries ended up being un- natural bedfellows. They became equally vocal partners in a strange alliance that did nothing to help bring about at least a measure of justice for the unborn and their parents. All they achieved is that counsellors, doctors and hospitals can continue to do whatever they wish. There will be no basic direction, no ethical guidance, no legal stan- dards, no public accountability. Instead of "the rule of law" Canada now has "the law of the jungle" with any legal criteria or human rights protection. Now there will be ar- bitrary decisions. There will be no legislation to encourage respect for life and responsible choices for life. Many people probably will soon come to the unhappy con- clusion that they should have supported Bill C-43. Had it become law, they could have launched positive initiatives to persuade our politicians to pass life -affirming amend- ments that would more effectively protect the human right to life of the unborn child. I hope that both the "pro-life" and the "pro -choice" movements will now re -direct their considerable energies and resources towards more con- structive goals than defeating Bill C-43. They should now work together to persuade the federal and provincial governments to introduce comprehensive fiscal and social policies that will enable all parents, especially female -led families, to bring up their children without fear of getting trapped in material poverty. Such policies should include essential provisions for adequate child care, affordable housing, and decent income security. As well, all churches, citizens' groups and other agencies shotild provide emotional support services and social assistance to meet the needs of struggling people. That will also generate genuine community and social solidarity. The reasons often cited for seeking abortions - rejection, homelessness and poverty - should be addressed by the combined efforts of concerned neighbours and responsible governments who are determined to help develop a caring and sharing society that respects life, both before birth as well as after birth. The response of all Canadians to the legal vacuaan and the continued social injustices will demonstrate what kind of people we are and what kind of future we want to build for our children and grandchildren. As a national, non- partisan, research and advocacy organization, Citizens for Public Justice will continue to press for life -protecting laws and life-sustaining social policies for all people, including the unborn.

Janis Campbell, minister of the church, presided at the service. Buffet lunch was served in the hall following the ser- vice. The Centennial con- gregation was formed in 1891 an the opening of the new church building. The Bible Christian Methodist congregation had a church at the north end of Adams Park at Highway 2A (1863). The Weslyan Methodist Church was located in Highland Creek Village (1865) where the Wesleyan Cemetery is now located. Both congregations decided in 1883 to work together and build a new church as a result of the Canadian Methodist Church Union which was planned for 1884. The Rouge Hills Church (1962) was at Rougemount and Highway 401. The con- gregation joined Centen- nial in 1971 and the church became a public library. The name Centennial was chosen in honour of the One Hundredth Anniver- sary of the death of John Wesley. The Centennial Church, located on the cor- ner of Centennial Road at 6540 Kingston Road, lent its name to Centennial Road; the Centennial Road Public School (1946), the Centen- nial Community and Recreation Association (1949) ; the Centennial Community and the Centennial Creek. In 1971 the church became known as Centennial -Rouge. Rev. Barry Joynt of Lombardy.

All of which brings us to the current presentation at Stage West Theatre Restaurant. It is the farce comedy "Not Now, Darl- ing" and we found it very enjoyable. Now, there are those who are inclined to dismiss farce comedy as mere froth and to those we can say only .. try writing one. Much skill is required and the authors of Not Now, Darling, Ray Cooney and John Chapman, have it in much abundance. Granted the lines of dialogue don't crackle but they are funny: granted that the opening and clos- ing of closet doors does not happen in everyday life, the clever orchestration of those openings is ad- mirable: granted that not all worsen in any gathering are gorgeous in lingerie. one can still enjoy the sight of them. Hell, let's go all the way and admit that "Not Now. Darling" is not a farce in the true meaning of the word. It is, however, a very good. maybe even ex- cellent to some. farce com- edy. It is set in a Landon fur salon and condemns the at- tempts of one of the owners to get a bit from a gorgeous exotic dancer by giving her a fur coat. Her husband, however. has other ideas. He wants the fur coat for his secretarv. The secretary's husband wants only his wife. Oh yes, the lecherous owner's wife is having an affair with the husband who's trying to get the fur coat for his secretary. Wandering through these convolutions are an older married couple who haven't coupled for ever so long and a busty young thing who ddnesn't seem to have much to do with the plot except to appear busty which she does. Indeed, her cups nunneth over. Observiig all the action are the other owner who is bemused and confused by it all and the secretary of the firm who seems mousy but who wears and looks gorgeous in sexy nether garments. Confusing? Not when you see it. Silly? Undoubtedly! We think so. Enjoyable? That's up to the individual. The opening night audience was vocal in its approval and your correspondent is still chuckling over the memory of some of the scenes. Bill Daily, who used to be Howard Borden on the old Bob Newhart Show, is along as the unlecherous owner and does well with the role. He plays it with an English accent and the ac- cent is constant . . and good. He is a master of the confused look and his delivery of lines is impec- cable. It is the sort of role which in some hands could smack of petulance but Mr. Daily's performance is simply that of a decent mild mannered man who deplores the goings on but will not let them become his master. And, he is fun- ny. As his partner. John Bayliss proves himself again to be the master of stage lechery in the man- ner comic. It's a plummy role. of course. and some might over do it but Mr. Bayliss stops just short of salivating in anticipation of his extra amatory pursuit. As the object of his lust, Stellina Rusich is believable but we were rather more taken by the understated sexiness of his wife as played by Jill Frap- pier. Great toosh. As the two secretaries, Jane Moffatt was all pro- per efficiency as the one who attempts to help the two partners in their goings on and Theresa Puskar was simply all, more or less in- nocent, sex as the other. As the other two cuckold- ed husbands Jonathan Whittaker and Peter Jaciw displayed the requisite amounts of mal intent tempered by foolish lust. Colin Miller is the silly ass husband of the tweedy Mrs. Frencham (sic!) played in character by Geraldine Farrell. And. one mustn't forget the walk ors of Jennifer Borden, she of the overflowing you Around and About Your Dining & Entertainment Guide know whats.

Briefly stated, it's about a beautiful, intelligent woman married to a sadistic Felix Unger type. He beats her (in Dolby Sound): she fakes her death and finds happiness in a small town. He finds her: she makes certain he never finds her again. Sounds like a dreadful movie doesn't it. Well, it's not: it's about as compell- ing as the screen can get. Moreover, it has a shock near the end that surpasses even the one -you know the one! -in Home Before Dark. Before one gets to it there are some grand scenic shots of Cape Cod and quaint ones of Iowa (ac- tually North Carolina(. The plot has enough implausibilities -not the least of which is the easy availability of money for expenses -as to approach silliness but one forgives all at the conclusion. Julia Roberts (remin- ding one more and more of Angela Terry. co owner of the Bayview Playhouse ( is predictably and almost frighteningly good as the battered wife. We say frightening because of the huge amount of talent necessary to play such a poorly written role. A woman of her intelligence wouldn't submit to three years of battering. Yet, Miss Roberts makes her believable. About the best that can be said for Patrick Bergin who portrays the sadistic husband is that he looks like local publicist Hank C� ELLAS, ESTAURANT AND RAN LUXURY BANQUET FACILITIES Any size up to 1500 people • WEDDINGS • ENGAGEMENTS • COMPANY MEETINGS • SEMINARS • DINNER • LUNCH • BREAKFASTS • RETIREMENT PARTIES • BAPTISMS 35 Danforth Rd.

ON STAGE: At the Native Canadian Centre of Toronto an in- teresting production is scheduled to open tomor- row evening. It is Son of Ayash and is the journey of a young man coming of age with the aid of the spirit world. Shirley Cheechoo, who is a member of the Cree tribe, will play multiple roles. Sounds like an in- teresting evening and your attendance will be mutual- ly rewarding. Performance times are at 8 p.m. and the centre is at 16 Spadina Road. Call their box office at 944-1988 for more details. Having written the preceding, allow us now to suggest that Son of Ayashi should be performed as soon as possible at the reservation in Vermilion Bay. We have heard distur- bing things about despicable conduct there, so despicable in fact that we feel the government should pull out altogether and leave the Indians to themselves. Physicians heal thyselves and stop taking tax dollars from other de- cent Canadians. IN PRINT: The Encyclopedia of the Dead by Danilo Kis ( Farrar Straus) is guilty of the greatest sin in the arts. It is boring, stultifyingly, paralyzingly boring. Yes, we know that if one can't say something good about something, one should say nothing. But damme, we struggl- ed with this book, struggled to find something of worth or value in it but could not. Possibly it has lost something in translation - what is the language of Yugoslavia called? -but if that is so, then perhaps it should not have been translated at all. Or perhaps a better translator could have been found. Who can say? Anyway, Encyclopedia seems to reflect the author's obsession not simply with the subject of death but death itself. Even the dedication, fortunately en francais, bears this out. Ma rage d'aimer donne sur la mort comme une fenetre sur la dour. That's by Georges Bataille if memory serves us correct- ly. The short pieces -nine altogether -include the death of Simon Magus, a lavish funeral for a pro- stitute in 1902 Hamburg, the execution of Hungarian aristrocrat Esterhazy and a consideration of the fate of Yiddish poet Mendel Osipovich's cor- respondence. Now please return to the first paragraph of this col- umn. FAST EXIT: If a book is worth reading, it is worth buying. (From Sesame and Lillies. John Ruskin.) Wed.

Mazda joins the Carswell Company ( International Thompson), Metropolitan Life Insurance and others as tenants in the 420,000 square foot development.

Asked to explain, Chris Cornish, President of Rox- borough Development says that because staffing costs are a very large component of total expenses, keepi ng staff productive and happy in their environment is critical. Therefore, the focus for determining office location is not solely based on cost rather the quality, amenities, and services of a buikting are primary . . cost becomes a secondary consideration. Cost savings in operating costs and access to road networks are significant factors in tenants choosing a suburban location over the downtown core.

The laboratory where Edison turned goldenrod to rubber seems to wait ex- pectantly for its master's return. Built in 1886, the property was donated to the City of Fort Myers by Edison's widow, Mina Miller Edison, and opened to the public in 1947. Tours. conducted con- tinuously throughout the day, are a delightful blend of scientific fact and per- sonal anecdotes. Edison was a beloved resident of Fort Myers for 46 winters and the property is run by local people with a keen personal interest in the in- ventor of the lightbulb, phonograph, motion pic- ture incure camera and many other modern-day conve- niences.

So what better way to en- sure good nutrition than by com- bining these two healthful food types? And when you toss in a few crisp, fresh vegetables, you have a healthful dish guaranteed to please your taste buds as well as your wallet! March is timely to consider such things - and to think of your summer appearance. Put away your recipes for the heavy, warm- ing foods of winter. Turn to the array of crisp, fresh vegetables now appearing on our grocers' shelves. Lighten your attitude and your menu with this super - simple "Seafood Sensations" recipe. Here's a recipe with great ver- satility. If you are entertaining, use baby shrimp or shredded crabmeat. For a more substan- tial evening meal, a can of salmon creates a flavourful and attrac- tive entree. Or if you're con- cerned about your fat intake, tuna is a delicious choice. Whatever the seafood you select, eggs are sure to complement its delicate flavour.

On Jan. 28th, 1968, in its decision in the Morgentaler case, the Supreme Court of Canada struck down Canada's abor- tion law under the Criminal Code. In 1969, the federal government put forth Bill C -C, an Act respecting abortion, fulfilling its commitment to Canadians to bring forward new abortion legislation and allowing individual M.P.'s to participate in a free vote. Bill C-43 was subsequently passed by the House of Commons on May 19, 1990 and sent to the Senate for final approval. However, on Jan. 31, 1991, the Senate vote resulted in a tie, effectively nullifying the legislation. Itis unfortunate that these non -elected officials, who have no constituents, electorate or obligations, decided not too pass a bill which was approved by the elected members of the House of Commons. Considering the impact of their efforts, I would hope that the Senators have some sort of new legislation in mind. It is also interesting to note that only 86 of the 112 Senators decided to show up for the vote. Perhaps their recently self - indulged tax-free bonus of $153 a day, just for showing up to work, was not high enough. Prior to the abortion legislation being put forth, I receiv- ed a great number of phone calls and letters regarding this matter. In addition, I solicited your input through a ques- tionnaire, which a substantial number of you completed and returned. When the abortion bill was put forth, I was pleased to note that the contents of the bill had in fact mir- rored what the majority of my constituents were asking for - a compromise. In conclusion. I would like to thank all those who filled out my petition regarding the abolition of the Senate. This latest manoeuvre by the Senate is just one of its many ef- forts to thwart the will of elected M.P.'s. While it is indeed unfortunate, it is certainly not surprising. **HOW TO— SEMINARS XND WORKSHOPti The Idea Place at the Pickering Home and Design Centre has planned some interesting seminars as follows: Wall Treatments is a two part workshop by registration only.
