The ward three regional councillor succumbed to her illness of cancer, at Ajax -Pickering hospital on Thurs. May 2. She learned of her illness of cancer, on- ly five months earlier and had been undergoing cherno-tllcrapy. Beverley Morgan was fust elected to Pickering Council in the fall of 1997. Site ran in a by-election to fill the seat on council which was vacated by Norah Stoner when Stoner won the provincial election in that same year. Mayor Arthur had the grim task of informing council members on Fri- day morning, of Mrs. Morgan's passing on. "Her strengths were my weaknesses. I learned more from her than anyone a tout politics and we work- ed together. I am supposed t o be a big strong can but am going to miss her. Bev Morgan had no A c•aknesses," remarked Councillor Johnson, the ward three local councillor. Morgan worked endless- ly with Pickering -Ajax Citizens Together (PACT) and was a founding member of this organiza- tion that fought against landfill sites. During her three years on Pickering council, she sat on numerous commit- tees such as, (PAW) Pickering -Ajax -Whitby Animal Coutrol Centre. She also sat on Pickering's finance committee and CIRCA the conservation authority committee. The Puckering Council meetirng was cancelled on Mon. May 6. and flags were flying at half-mast over the town's civic centre. The funeral was held on Mon. May 6, at the Du nbarta -Fairport United Church with a very large crowd in attendance. Eulogies were given by Mayor Wayne Arthurs and past PACT President Dave Strain. A large number of political people came to pay their respects.

May K, 1991 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Childishness Dear Mr. Watson Re: "Leave Our language Alone" - 27 March 1991 In her letter (10 April) responding to your editorial on sexist words Ms. Labatte (Metro Councillor) refers to the English language as being ".. mired in explosive little relics that were formed by centuries of patriarchy". Not very well put and a bit "sloganesque", but there is an in- dication of what she is getting at. Quite clearly she has no understanding of the English language and no affection for it either. The beauty of its rhythms, subtle paradoxes and infinite shades of expres- sions gives it a poetic power and quality unmatched by other languages, but all this seems to escape Ms. Labatte in her single-minded quest for absolutism. Like any special in- terest vigilante, she sees things in terms of "clearly right" or "clearly wrong". In Ms. Labatte's "Brave New World". providing the words of social and political symbolism are acceptable, then the English language should merely be a means of communication, where the quality of expression need only be that of a telex machine. Her anger against the use of so-called sexist words, in particular those with the suffix "man" is as petty now as it was when the silly business first became an issue in the -60"s. She should realize that many words in the English language are non -literal and that their meanings have been derived from common usage. So it is with the words "alder- man.. and "chairman". which now have no gender but describe instead a function or position. Any other inter- pretation is in the mind of the insecure beholder, one which presumably, also finds non -gender words like "mankind" and " buman" equally offensive. The language is also inundated with words with the prefix ..man' where the origin or root is the Latin word "manus" - hardly a gender word. However. a fine distinction such as that is not likely to deter or placate a feminist once her sense of social rectitude has been outraged. In response to all this childishness. are we to permit the savaging of the English language to accommodate the con- trived grievances and fevered sensibilities. of a small group of worsen, not known for their sense of proportion, let alone humlour'. I would suggest that there are better things to occupy our minx's and energies. Let us hope that this tiresome paranoid behaviour of feminists is the result of a virus and that a cure will shortly be found. L B. Cattell 24 Clareville Cr. WiBowdale. Ont. To Premier Rae Dear Premier I had hoped to raise this matter in Question Period but other mattes have dominated Question Period in the past week. I want to express to you my deep concern about your deci- sion to appoint a part-time !Minister of Health. I do not take issue with Minister Lankin's competence. 1 do believe, however, that it is impossible for one Minister to handle the demands of two major portfolios. There is a significant backlog of issues that must be dealt with swiftly in the health care field. These include hospital funding, the im- plementation of the Ontaro Medical Association agree- ment, Health Professions Legislation, long-term care reform. northern health care plans, the drug benefit plan reform, community-based health care plans, out -of -country. OHIP billings and the Hospital Act. The previous Minister can confirm that it is absolutely a full time portfolio. However, you have decided that the new Minister of Health will also retain responsibility for managing the en- tire civil service and, in her role as Chair of Mangement Board. for managing the government's $ts billion in spen- ding. To have one Minister handling all these tasks simply makes no sense' I urge you to reconsider this decision im- mediately. You are putting your new Health Minister at considerable risk and even more importantly you may be putting Ontario's health system at risk. This is not an issue that can wait.

In the very near future, the controversial language laws 'Pierre Trudeau imposed on Canada more than twenty years ago will be scrapped. It's kwwitable. Ironically, official bilingualism will die for the same reason it was given birth - to plecats Quebec. The plain fact a that Quebec nationalists of today do not care if Canada is bilingual from coast to coast. Their main concern now is to prated their language arld culhxe in their own province. This was dearly spelled out in the recently released Allaire report, a document outlining the Quebec liberal Party's stand on constihitional Thge- e report Win* states that unless Quebec receives more power from the federal government , indudiing ocx ib over language, it will hold a referendum on separation. Of course. it Quebec separates, arty pretence for compulsory biingualism in Canada would disappear. The French-speaking compormill in Canada's populafon would shrink from about 25 per cent to five per cent On the other haind. it Quebec were to get what it wants - ii K*x ng control over its language laws - then other provinces Will demand similar powers. Each province would then control its own Pdwy modern from the federal government. Bilingualism on the Way out That is why the policy of afFicial bilingualism will likely be scrapped whether Quebec separates or not. The demise of Ibl'lingualism should sadden it o me. 4 was and is a ;:Vonsiva fallilty that has generated bmernew between English.- and ngliisl},and French-speaking Canadians. Rather >wan uniting Canada it has driven the country apart It all started because Tnxlew wanted b use Canada as a laboratory for :his experiments in social engineering. He wanted to mould Canada to fit his vision. What Trudeau and other bldingual enftxmiasts dross to ignore is that Canada is not a bilingual country. It rwver was. In fact, Canada is an English speaking cotxtlry with a French speaking enclave centred in Quebec. Official biinguaiie n is an arYdicial. elitist kftlectual system imposed on a real society that is rejecting it Indeed, bilingualism wouId haw been rejected by the people a long time ago hada not been for the wide-ranging array of laws and institutions designed to prop it up- Consequently, when official bilingualism does end. aside from a few Trudeau devolves, few Canadians will mourn. #NWW somwvft is PYw"M of Tiw Nebonar CArens' Coaaeon) Here and There $119,900 For Ethnocultural Aids Resource Development The Icon. Perrin Beatty, Minister of National Health and Welfare Canada, recently announced funding of $119,900 over twenty-six months to the AIDS Cultural Network in Toronto. Funding will enable the AIDS Cultural Network to develop, produce and distribute resources and information materials for use by the ethnocultural communities of Metro Toronto and Ontario. Want Criminal Code Amended Jay Scheetz would like to see Canada's Criminal Code amended to provide harsher penalties for violent crimes against cab drivers. At present, the murder of a police of- ficer or prison guard is automatically considered murder in the first degree whether it is premeditated or not: Scheetz would like to see this section of the Code amended to include gib drivers, as well. "There has been a dramatic increase in the number of assaults on, and murders of, cabbies in the past few years - not only in Toronto, but right across the country. I think stif- fer sentences would act as a deterrent to someone who might otherwise think he can 'get away' with harming a cabbie for a few bucks," he says. STATFACTS The proportion of positive opinions expressed on how well police do their work tended to increase with the age of the respondents, according to a 1968 Statistics Canada survey. Persons under 25 were least likely and those over 45 most Common Pause Day Law Not Limit On Freedom by Gerald Vandezande The unanimous decision by the Ontario Court of Appeal that the Retail Business Holidays Act "does not infringe freedom of conscience and religion protected by the Charter" and is "constitutionally valid" took quite a number of people by surprise! Neither the opponents nor the proponents of Ontario's controversial common pause day legislation had really ex- pected the five -judge panel to reverse the negative ruling by Supreme Court of Ontario trial judge Southey. In June 198.9, Mr. Justice Southey had declared the Act, amended by the liberals in February 1989, to be unconstitu- tional because of the authority granted to municipalities to permit retail business establishments to be open on Sunday. In his opinion, the Act no longer reflected a matter of a pressing and substantial concern because municipalities could permit Sunday shopping without violating the com- mon pause day objective of the Act. Mw Court of Appeal ruled, however, that "the delegated power to permit Sunday shopping is not a limit on religious freedom" and held that "the Act does not violate the guaranteed freedom of religion provided for m the Charter." As a result, it is once again illegal for large retail stores to open on Sundays and holidays. Many department stores, grocery chains and other retailers flouted the law during the 1989 Christmas shopping season. They claimed that the new Act was unfair and violated the freedom of religion of retailers, employees and shoppers. However, as Ontario Chief Justice Charles Dubin pointed out, ..The decision... to open for business on Sundays was purely for economic reasons and not on the basis that the Act infringed their religious freedom, it being axiomatic that corporations have no religion." Furthermore, "140 witnesses were called by the respondents to explain how the Act abridged anyone's religious freedom." The Court relied on several precedent -setting decisions by the Supreme Court of Canada and the Ontario Court of Appeal. They had declared the previous common pause law to be constitutional because its purpose "is not offensive to the Charter guarantee of freedom of conscience and religion." The Court again confirmed that Ontario's corm - mon pause day law, which included appropriate exemup. tions, "is not a colourable attempt to enforce or encourage religious observance." Chid Justice Dubin found that neither retailers, nor con- sumers, nor employees who observe the Sabbath are being discriminated against. He pointed out that "there is rue evidence from any retailer that the Act has a coercive impact on his or her freedom of religion." (The Act allows stores to open on a Sunday if they are always closed throughout another day of the week by reason of the religion of the owner). Furthermore, "Saturday -observing consumers who nor- mally shop at retailers closed lir Saturdays and eligible to be open on Sundays are still able to pu rchase the full vane- ty of goods available at those retailers six days of the week." Finally. "the Act does not create an advantage for one religious group (of employees) over another-" For goodTh measure, Chief Justice Dubin added: "ere was no evidence that the Act imposes a significant burden, if any, of the freedom of religion of employees or one wbich could pressure religiousemployees to forego ser rgo their Sabbath ob vance.' The Court's lengthy judgment - 53 pages of reasons by Chief Justice Dubin and 58 pages by Mr. Justice Finlayson- makes inon lays - makes for very thought-provoking reading on how the fun- damental freedoms and equality rights guai-anteed by the Charter should and can be applied fairly to protect all faith communities without favouring one over the other. The judges' eloquent reasoning also shows that Ontario's common pause day law, with its exemptions and protection for religious minorities such as our Jewish and Seventh Day Adventist neighbours, is a good example of legislators do- ing justice to the reality that we live in a religiously pluralistic society - a society in which every person and every community enjoys equality before and under the law and has the right to equal protection and equal benefit of the law, without discrimination based on religion. This historic Wiling, together with earlier decisions of equal quality by the Supreme Court of Canada and the On- tario Court of Appeal will serve as an excellent basis on which Premier Bob Rae can develop the amendments need- ed to keep his Throne Speech promise" en to provide a com- mon pause day to help strengthfamily and community life while protecting small business and the rights of workers. " Active support for equitable amendments is essential in order to translate this important social justice promise into a law that will be applied fairly and enforced effectively likely to give police a favourable rating. across Ontario. � � es ase, s:f s,sa s:f s:f ase ss sa s, s:f s:• ra se.sss'asps:f eta ............... is es� Give A Gift That Lasts All Year! 1 A year's subscription to one of these newspapers 1 SCARBOROUGH A INCOURT WEST HILL ne ws news news I N E YOU W NORnei�ts fiews T END i K 0 S � Renewal ' ONE YOU WANT ' New ' Send $15 cheque, money order or VISA number (plus expiry date) to: Watson Publishing Company Limited Iso Milner Ave., Unit 35 Scarborough, Ont.M1S 3R3; Name: Address: � to ave es ��es ees ss ss ss sa es si es ta�s:,esssss sue es sees ewes es es es sue eve ss ssaaa•a sue sue �essss j Metro Toronto Releases Its Metropolitan Toronto's Social Development Strategy Task Force is releasing its interim report "Strengthening Our Com- munities: Metro's Social Plan".

May & 1991 Bill Watt's Worlds ON YOUR TOES: Once upon a time we were young. ( Some Tright say we were still alive.) Our daughters were still children and one of their favourite beverages was something called Lola. Although we were often on short commons we could usually manage time out for Lola. We love our children and it pleasured us to see them enjoying it. One wishes it were possi- ble to have the same pleasure in viewing ..Time Out With Lola". That's the work by John Alleyne, the National Ballet's resident choreographer given its world premiere within the past week at The O'Keefe. We read that Mr. "Alleyne's ballets do not tell stories, nor are they pure ( sic) abstractions. In- stead, he creates images based on themes and con- cepts that provide au- diences with a multi- layered dance." Uh huh! What this possible Phillistine experienced was a series of sculptured yet fluid poses, much energy. tremendous technical skill on the part of the dancers and .. little pleasure. Probably the highest compliment one can pay the choreography is to say that it's better than anything by Danny Grossman. Robert Desrosiers or William For- sythe. Make of that what one will. The set design of Kim Nielsen is supposedly sym- bolic of time and space. Regrettably. it resembles little more than a Salvadore Dali sketch digitalized into three dimensions by Isaac Asimov for Martha Graham. The music -the music! -is by Morton Subotnick. With its relentless atonality counterpointed by sophomoric percussion, it sounds like nothing more than a huge mechanical bird defecating over a petrified jungle. What's to like about "Time Out With Lola"? Well, there's the pseudo in- tellectual stimulation in- volved in trying to deter- mine the meaning, if any, of the title. No, seriously, there is much to laud -though regrettably, little to applaud -in the dancers who are called upon to perform Mr. Alleyne's outrageous excesses. Enormous strength is required by both male and female dancers and the foot work required is most intricate. The National has always been a well conditioned company; it needs to be for "Time Out For Lola". We consider it's not an auspicious beginning for Mr. Alleyne. We believe, however, that he has now rid himself of what ever possessed him during its creation and will, for the future, concentrate his not inconsiderable talent on the creation of ballets, not simply presentations of those components within them. Glen Tetley's Daphnis and Chloe 1 D. & C. -most appropriate) was the se- cond work of the evening. It, at least, has something to say and says it to the music of Maurice Ravel's finest score. (No pun in - Around and About Your Dining &Entertainment Guide tended.) You know the story from your studies of Greek Mythology. Daphnis, a shepherd is trying not too successfully to get it off with Chloe. That is, until in- structed in the "art" of love making by his half- brother Pan, the god of nature. Stated briefly, as above, one could think of Daphnis and Chloe as little more than a presentation of more of less refined debauchery. Not so. It is a work of almost lyrical beauty and Mr. Tetley's choreography well serves the dancers, the audience and the music of Revel which is by no means, tin Pan. Sorry, couldn't resist it. As Daphnis, Rex Harr- ington could hardly be im- proved upon. His looks ap- proach beauty. hdeed, the man is so physically attrac- tive that one's attention is almost drawn away from what a fine dancer he has become. His moves are precise. his strength evi- dent in every one of those moves. Kimberly Glasco was Chloe and what an attrac- tive one she is! here is a woman in need of and desiring the physical pleasures of love, waiting for them with controlled impatience and finally securing them m the arms of Daphnis. And, she presents all this in dance. Quite remarkable. Remarkable, too, are the performances of Peter Ott - mann and Karen Kain as their alter egos. Here is eroticism as it should be presented. Both are dark, both are superb dancers ( why do we not see more of Mr. Ottmann? ), both almost steam up the stage with passion. Jeremy Ransom danced the role of Pan and, as always, danced well. To be honest though, Mr. T.'s choreography for the role seems rather more suited to a Puck than a Pan. Even so, Daphnis and Chloe remains a beautiful work. In our opinion it is Mr. Tetley's best. We have frequently been under- whelmed by the gentleman's creations but all is forgiven with this one. We have seen it before with pleasure and hope to see it many times again.

A sad note about the play is that it was the last work of John Douglas. He completed the last scene just one week before an untimely death.

HIGH NOTES: Mark June 1st on your social calendar. That's the date on which the Canadian Opera Company will host a Mozart Opera gala in con- *wtion with the opening of the first of its three Mozart operas as part of the Mozart Celebrations. The opera to be presented is a new produc- tion of Cosi Fan Tutte at the Elgin Theatre. For 5300 one will enjoy a pejxnformance dinner at the King Edward Hotel, best seats in the house for the performance and dessert at a post - performance reception. For $150 one can skip din- ner. Given our recently landed down provincial and federal bets, one suspects that many will . . out of necessity. What a pi- ty. Anyway, if you are able to attend, please call the Canadian Opera Company for tickets. Is. FOR MOTHER: This is a family journal and we are pleased to pass along the following item for Mother's Day. On that day, Kew Beach United Church will be presenting a special con- cert featuring the Cana- dian Children's Opera Chorus and soprano soloist Wendy Nielsen. It will be a matin6e per- formance at 2:30 p.m. and the admission cost is very slight; only a little more than what one should be presenting as an offertory. That said, let us, again in a family journal, give ut- terance to something that is more than vaguely disturbing us. What a wonderful thing to spend a Sunday after- noon in a church with one's mother! How pleasant it must be to listen to fine music performed by ex- cellent artists. Yet, we find ourself un- comfortable over the fact that there is to be a cost of admission, however modest. Are we being old fashion- ed or, even worse, hypocritical in suggesting that the churdh should do no more than accept an of- fering? Paid admission to a )louse of God? Rather disturbing wouldn't you say, FAST EXIT: How about this canrrnent from Entertainment Week- ly. "The Toronto Argonauts? The Canadian Football League? What are they gonna have? A jock - cam!" Who's stringing for them? A11% = i' -0. t The beautiful standard poodle pup in the photo was adopted the day after this shot was taken. Shown here with a staff member from the Toronto Humane Society (THS), this little guy was brought in a few months ago with a badly mangled left front leg. It was successfully amputated and it's absolutely amazing the way this little guy can hop, jump and run with the best of them, on his remaining three legs! For more information on walking dogs, fostering or adop- tions, or making donations phone the Toronto Humane Society at 392-2273, or the Scarborough Humane Society at 757-3606. The dogs cats and wildlife are in dire need of old towels and bedding. So keep dropping them off at the THS front desk at 11 River St. They need all you can give them. Bach Children's Chorus The Bach Children's Chorus, formerly the Amadeus Children's Chorus, will present its spr- ing concert on Sun. May 12 at 3 p.m. All of the children, of the chorus, that is, the preparatory, training, and full choruses will perform this program of settings of nursery rhymes and other works. Selections will include music by Dunhill, Michael Diack, Schubert, and Ruth Watson Henderson. The chorus is directed by Linda Beaupre and accompanied by Lydia Adams. The Bach Children's Chorus has had a very busy 1990191 season. The full chorus performed on two occasions with the Amadeus Choir, and was featured on CBC TVs na- tionally televised documen- tary on the Amadeus Choir Carol Writing Competition. The training chorus per- formed three Christmas stows with the well-known children's entertainer. Fred Penner, at the O'Keefe Centre. All chorus members aged seven and up were thrilled by the op- portunity to sing the an- them at an Argos garde at Skydome in November. In addition. the Bach Children's Chorus has been recently selected to per- form promotional music for the upcoming peace film, Ceasefire. "Nursery Rhyme Nonsense" will be held at The Meeting Place, Scar- borough Campus of the University of Toronto (on Military Trail, just south of Ellesmere and east of Neilson). Tickets are $6 and $3 ( GST included) and may be obtained by phon- ing 217-0006. Aquatic Education Day Grade 1 students at Blan- tyre P -S. and Grade 6 students from David Lewis P.

May 8, 1"1 THE NEWS/ POST Page 9 Community Sports Notes 4th. Annual 10 Pin Provincial Final The 4th Annual Tenpin Provincial Final for the T.S.N. "Pins Game Series" was held on Sat. Apr. 27th at Club 300 Bowl, Markham. This year's final was the largest in participation with 42 ladies and men con- tending for the four vacant spots to represent Southern Ontario on the T.S.N. "Pins Game" Bowling Series later this summer at Stellar Lanes, Newmarket. As in the past, last year's champions were invited back to defend their titles and hopefully better their money earnings from the 1990 television show. Unfor- tunately, the 1990 Cham - pons were denied a chance for victory and will not represent Southern Ontario at this year's "Pins Game" bowling series. The men's division saw some remarkable bowling by this year's champion. Jeff Russell of Bowlero, Windsor. Jeff dominated this year's championships averaging 220.6 over the 10 games bowled and only once bowled under a 200 score. This year's second place finisher, Jim Kom- pare of Transworld Bowl, Brampton had Russell within his sights most of the day but could riot over- take him with his 2164 ten game score. Rounding out the top five in the men's division were Doug Burke, last year's Champion (2148), Peter Plein of Club 300 Bowl (2146), and Dave Banks of Twin City, Waterloo (21341. In a very close ladies' division, Julia Toms of Kennedy Bowlerama, Scarborough fended off Rhonda Waddell of Planta- tion Bowlerama, Etobicoke to capture this year's Pro- vincial Title by 4 pins. It took a strong 269 score in the ninth game by Julia Torics to pole-vault her into the lead and win the battle on the lanes. Both will represent Southern Ontario on the television show and will be aiming their sights an the $16.(IIM) prize fund. Finishing the day in a respectable third was Julie Rvan of Kennedy Bowlerama, Scarborough with a 1972 score which was 109 pins off the pace. Other local bowlers in the Ladies Division were Paula Lacey, All Star Lanes, Scarborough (1850); Laurie Zeagman, Thorn- cliffe Bowlerama 1 1830), Toronto; Deanna Luckey, All Star Lanes. Scar- borough (1694) : and Anne Konemann. Cedarbrae Bowlerama. Scarborough (1390 DNF). In the Men's Division Wiley Pinter, Cedarbrae Bowlerama. Scarborough had a score of 2097 for 10 games: Scott Robert. All Star Lanes. Scarborough had 1960: Darren Farris, Kennedy Bowlerama. Scarborough got 1940, Russell Spencer. Kennedy Bowlerama. Scarborough got 19038: Winston Houte. Thorncliffe Bowlerama. Toronto got 1864: Roberto Guglielmelli, Rexdale Bowlerama. Rexdale got 1833: and Johnny Singh. Thorncliffe Bowlerama, Toronto got 1818. A Wonder Year For Blood If you gave blood in Cen- tral Ontario between Apr. 1st. 1990 and Mar. 31st, 1991, you helped make this one of the two most suc- cessful years for blood col- lection in Toronto Centre's 42 -year history. The final tally for the '90 91 fiscal year is 196.836 donations. Only once has more blood been collected by a Canadian blood centre in a 12 -month period. The year before last blood donors in Central Ontario gave 198.975 times. `umbers aside, last year's collections are perhaps even more im- pressive than those of the record-breaking '89 90 year - they were achieved without benefit of a full- scale media appeal for blood donors. For the first time in memory, non -appeal col- lections were strong enough to meet hospital pa- tient needs during the dog Light A Candle For Victims On Jan. 28th the Interna- tional Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement laun- ched a campaign called "light The Darkness". The objectives of the campaign are to improve the situation of war victims by ensuring that their right to protection under the Geneva Conventions is known and respected, and to fundraise worldwide to bring practical aid to those caught in the crossfire.

Appeals mean longer line-ups and extended clinic hours, putting extra pressure on donors. nurses. transport drivers, clinic volunteers and lab technoiogi>-ts. The "consistently strong' collections Toronto Centre has experienced over the last two years can be attributed to a number of factors, including better clinic scheduling. making it more convenient for pea pie to give blood. and in- creased public awareness about how important it is to do so. The key challenge the centre now faces is achiev- ing self-sufficiency in sup- plying blood to hospitals. Despite hugely improved collections. the centre still relies to some extent on blood transferred in tram other Canadian centres to help it meet the re- quirements of patients in the 61 hospitals it serves in Central Ontario. Achieving self- sufficiency involves break- ing the magic 200.000 -donation barrier. Based on the evidence of the last two years, this goal seems just around the cor- ner. • �:,. ti•9�NG • f�:vEMEtiT FE'.G.ATIO": . ETC r a Page 10 THE NEWS POST Wed.

Serving the Community Since 1950 Appeal For Children And Adults With Asthma The Lung Association's Asthma Spring Appeal gets underway during April. Funds raised during this direct mail campaign will continue to support pro- grams and services for children and adults who suffer with asthma. Asthma is a Greek word and means "panting". One doctor described an asthma attack as trying to breathe through a straw that has been squeezed shut in the middle. It can be triggered by allergies or smoke and made worse by the common cold. The grim fact is that deaths resulting from asthma have tripled over the last several years. Few things in life are more scary and stressful than an asthma attack - the coughing and wheezing - the frantic midnight trip to the hospital. The Levis family remember the many trips to the emergen- cy room. Four years ago, on her second birthday, Tara Levis was diagnosed with acute asthma. In that first year, she suf- fered many serious attacks 300 Objects On Display At Museum A carefully chosen selec- tion of 30 objects from the 300 high style Art Nouveau and Art Disco objects, recently presented to the ROM by Bernard and Sylvia Ostry, are on display at the Royal On- tario Museum. "Art Nouveau - Art Disco: Selections from the Bernard and Sylvia Ostry Collection" includes a selection of traditional to ultra modern furniture, silver, lighting fixtures, metalwork, and ceramics and glass, dating from 1890 10 1940. Dr. Peter Kaellgren, Assistant Curator -in - charge of the ROM's Euro- pean Department states, "this generous gift creates at the ROM the finest museum collection in Canada of Art Nouveau and Inuit Works At AGO To celebrate the donation of a special Inuit art collec- tion. the Art Gallery of On- tario is presenting "Sananguaq - The Swinton Collection of Inuit Art" un- til May 26th in the Walter Trier Gallery. A year ago, George Swin- ton, Canada's foremost authority on Inuit art, donated to the AGO a ma- jority of works from his prized collection of 371 In- uit works of art that repe sent some two dozen com- munities and more than 200 artists from across the Arc- tic. The acquisition was made with the help of the AGO's Volunteer Commit- tee. "Sananguaq", an In- uktitut word that means "making an imitation or likeness'% draws from Swinton's valuable collec- tion and includes 71 sculptures and wall hang - In his collections, George Swinton has sought out In- uit art that is inventive and unusual, or, in his own words. "exciting. original. surprising, even eccentric in form as well as in con- tent." An ongoing interest in iconographic objects related to formal traditions or functions, especially magico-religious art, has also influenced his collec- tions.

She also had a very close friend who died due to an acute asthma attack, and today, Tara's little sister Corey has asthma, too.

The Great Lakes Basin contains over 20% of the world's supply of fresh water and is one of the most densely populated and industrialized regions in North America. The basin also provides the major economic and social under- pinning for residents including industry, recreation, drink- ing water, transportation and food. However, as is all too familiar to the residents of Ontario Riding, the lakes con- tain over 800 identified chemical pollutants deriving from the increased commercial production and wide -spread use of synthetic chemicals and metals since the 1940's. To initiate the process of recovery, the government has published "Toxic Chemicals in the Great Lakes and Associated Effects", a comprehensive review of the scien- tific knowledge of the levels of toxic chemicals in the Great Lakes basin and their effects on human health, fish and wildlife. The end result of years of study. the report will become the scientific reference of information of toxic chemical levels and effects in the Great Lakes basin. It will be used to focus the actions that the Federal Government will be undertaking through the Great Lakes Action Plan and the Greer( Plan. The report contained many major findings. Levels of con- taminants in Great Lakes fish and aquatic birds have decreased substantially from the high levels reported in the 1970's, but have remained relatively constant since the ear- ly 1980's. Some stocks of fish have levels of toxic substances which exceed the levels set by Health and Welfare Canada. Commercial fisheries for these stocks are closed or con- trolled. and sport fisheries are governed by provincial con- sumption advisories. Murucipally-treated drinking water drawn from the Great Lakes contains minute quantities of contaminants but the amounts rarely exceed current guidelines for Cana- dian drinking water quality. Elevated levels of con- taminants in the Great Lakes basin do pose a threat to human health, but the precise nature and extent of the threat is unclear. Residents of the basin consuming large quantities of contaminated fish and wildlife should reduce their intake in accordance with current advisories. Wildlife studies in the Great Lakes basin show that developmental and reproductive effects can occur in various species exposed to toxic chemicals including birds, reptiles, fish and mammals. In the last decade there have been significant recoveries in reproductive success for most of the previously affected bird species. Serious pro- blems are now confined to a few highly contaminated areas. Canadians living in the Great Lakes basin do not have higher contaminant levels in their tissues than people in other parts of North America. However, individuals con- suming large amounts of contaminated fish and wildlife, especially native peoples and sportspersons, are likely to have a greater than average exposure to several persistent pollutants. The federal government is committed to a leadership role on health and environment issues. It is essential that all sectors of society move to reduce contamination of the en- vironment. In my opinion, the goal of virtual elimination of persistent toxic substances in the Great Lakes basin can on- ly be achieved if there is a change in the attitude and behaviour on a broad scale. I am confident that this report will act as an excellent starting point for the federal govern- ment to do its part.
