May 6. 1992 Opinio ' n a page for expression for you and us Martel Should Resign Says OMA President The President of the Ontario Medical Association said Apr. 15th that Shelley Martel should resign from cabinet. OMA President Dr. Michael Thoburn said, "The report of the legislative inquiry indicates that Ms. Martel and her staff used information pertaining to the billing practices of a physician to attack him for criticizing government policy. This conduct is totally unacceptable to the Ontario Medical Association. "It is important to understand the effect Ms. Martel's ac- tions have had on the medical profession," continued the OMA President. "Doctors with whom I have spoken have expressed understandable concerns that should they speak out against government on issues, they too may be subject to an attack by government. Now that the legislative com- mittee has reported, Ms. Martel's continued participation in cabinet is untenable. To respect the public interest, she should do the honourable thing and resign." The OMA President is also calling upon the Freedom of Wor oration and Privacy Commissioner to follow up on the disturbing evidence heard by the legislative inquiry•, and in- vestigate procedures in the Ministry of Health to ensure that confidential billing or medical information cannot be used inappn opi ately. The confidentiality of all medical records mug remain paramount to protect physicians and patients. Thoburn said. -'In light of the evidence heard by the legislative inquiry•, the confidence of the medical communi- ty in the integrity of confidential information has been severely shaken... I Can't Believe It! The Editor: I cannot believe my eyes when I read in one of Toronto's major newspapers that a beauty contest in Scarborough is facing city bran. !Mayor Joyce Trimmer is living in the dark ages in a nutshell. Doesn't she understand that beauty con- tests generate local business. If there are twenty female contestants entering a beauty pageant it means good business for local merchants such as hairdressers, shoes, evening gowns and the list goes an and on. Just when we need more events to give our economy a boar, certain peo- ple are comm out of the drawer and with a sledge hammer they want to crash everything down that stands in a pro - gr ive rogressive process. Ever since CFTO cancelled the Miss Canada Pageant some feminist groups are now claiming victory that they have succeeded in the cancellation. I for one can assure you that feminist groups had nothing to do whatsoever in the Miss Canada Pageant cance"tion : nor all the other reasons that CFTO and Cleo Productions gave us as an ex- cuse for its cancellation. I wish CFTO will one day come forward with the real reason why Miss Canada was cancelled so that people like Scar'borotgh Mayor Joyce Trimmer and other members of Scarborough City Council that support her. think twice before putting their foot in their mouth. In the meantime I wish Mr. Watson and the Scarborough %ews and all the contestants success on Juan 7. 1992 at the Scarborough Civic Centre and don't bend down to dark age pressures and party pooper tactics.

Scarborough Agincourt McLeod Says NDP Must Consult With Communities About Casinos The NDP government is proceeding with its controversial casino gambling proposal without first asking the people of Ontario what they think, Liberal Leader Lyn McLeod said recently in the Legislature. "Opening casinos across Ontario could change the face of this province," said Mrs. McLeod. "Yet, there has been no open consultation or debate with the people of the province. " Mrs. McLeod said a story in a recent edition of the Toron- to Star confirms the Premier and his government may have already decided, behind closed doors, to proceed with government -run casinos. There is no indication that the government has done any full studies or reserach on the impact of casino -gambling on the province or on individual communities. "This government has repeatedly promised to consult with and listen to the people, and to respond to their wishes," said Mrs. McLeod. "It seems obvious that the debate is only going to take place now, after the decision has been made..' Crass border mayors have been pressing the government to help alleviate their serious economic problems by allow - mg open Sunday stopping and reducing the gas tax to discourage cross-border stopping to the United States. reasonable �v.5 tehas neglected to explore other al presented by those communities," said Mrs. McLeod. And she added that the recession has placed the people of Windsor and communities across On- tario in a desperate position. "Those economics aur shattered. largely due to cross- border shopping." said Mrs. McLeod. '"kris government has given border communities nothing else to grasp.' As Leader of the Opposition, Bob Rae was opposed to government -rum lotteries and gaming. 10 Commandments For Politicians To the Editor: Here is airy version of the ten comm ndmi nts written for politicians W bear in mind. 1.

Nearly every driver will at some time become in- volved in a motor vehicle accident. It is always im- portant to know when you mist report an accident to a police officer and what responsibilities are yours at that time. Every person in chargee of a motor vehicle who is directly or indirectly in- volved in an accident, shall. if the accident results in personal injury apparent at the time of the accident or in total combined damage to property ap- parently exceeding 5700, report the accident im- mediately to a police of- ficer. This accident can happen anywhere, whether it occurs on a street, park- ing lot or a private driveway. The accident should be investigated at the scene so that witnesses, if available can be interviewed. The police officer will also be abhors of the ��- accident scene, for example, measurements. weather, damage and road condi- tions and gathering evidence. It is important that everyone invohvled in an ac- cident receive the required information from the in- vestigating police officer in ander to notify their own in- siwance Company. If you unfortunately become involved In a motor vehicle accident, whether as a driver or a pedestrian, do not be influenced or in- timidated by other persons who may try to convince you not to report the acci- dent. There could be reasons why the other per- son does not want to report for example, no insurance, driver's licence suspended, or driver impaired by alcohol or drugs. Remember it is very im- portant to report that acci- dent in order to protect yourself.

The dread- ful aphorism might work in relationships but it's not always successful applied metaphorically to music. The proof, we suggest, is on view now in Blue Skies. A Celebration of Irving Berlin ('s music) playing at the Limelight Dinner Theate. Basically it's a cabaret revue with a talented cast of four accompanied by Director David Warrack at the piano with rhythm. There is no one m one! - w who can present a better cabaret entertainment than Mr. Warrack. So, you have the music of Irving Berlin presented in in- timate surroundings by a talented cast. It should be a fail proof show and, we're sure, was so considered at its genesis. Yet, it's not as good as it could/should be. For ex - tion, refer back to the Mad Paragraph - You see, Irving Berlin, though not born in the U.S.A. became the quintessential American of the twentieth century's first half. His music is S16 - pie and uncomplicated in form, emotional in content. u needs only committed sincerity to be successful in presentation. The arrangements employed in this show are far from simple. They're truly brilliant in the use of unexpected tempi and classical counterpoint. But, they don't serve Berlin's music well. music that was written for common con- sumption. The melodies of Gershwin. Kern. Porter and Rogers have been adapted symphonically. Those of Berlin have not, simply because they don't lend themselves to such treatment. Apple pie is ap- ple pie; it cannot become mousse de pomme or what ever. That said, let it also be written that Blue Skies is not without high entertain- ment values. The talented quartet of Sheila Brand, John Devorski, Janet MacEwen and Scott Smith sing and dance well. The singing is noteworthy par- ticularly given the in- tricacies of the ar- rangements. One thinks particularly of the difficult two part song You're Just in Love from Call Me Madame. It's a difficult song in any case -at least we always found it so -and to present it as bossa nova demands great skill and ar- tistry. But it's not the way Berlin intended it. And yes, it's cute to bear Oh How I Hate to Get Up in the Morning! sung slowly by "Mane" as "the dawn is breaking" but it's still not Berlin. To be fair it should be written that it's a nice touch to use the British lyrics to Easter Parade... Rotten Row instead of The Avenue. Smart Magazine rather than Rotogravure. Nice, but purling to most North Americom. The best number of the evening is presented by Mr. Warrack himself. He is a good singer in addition to his many other musical talents and he delivers a particularly raunchy rendi- tion of I Love a Piano.

The music of Lehar is timeless but improved if anything by the Itch or- chestrations of John Lan- chberry, a lushness that matches that of the set, costuming and lighting design. Then, there is Serge Lavoie as Count Dario. We have watched this man with interest for some years now and continue to be impressed by his work. It's a given that all ballet dancers are strong but there seems to be something almost preter- natural about the ease of his lifts. Peter Schaut ss was arguably the most im- pressive with this skill but be was and looked like a walking muscle. Mr. Lavoie is seemingly lean. Almost admired as much as his dancing skills, however. is his sense of bunour. After impressing as Petnhcchso in Taming of the Shrew, he now exhibits the same insouciance as the dashing Dando. Quite remarkable. Gizella Withowsi danced the title role. What more an one say about this magnificent creature* She is regal, she is stately. Yet, she dances the role in the manner of the original Ger- man title, not the more or less pallid English one. Think about it, all of you who know German. Also impressive was Caroline Richardson as Valencienne. She was pro- perly pert not flirt, woman, not girl. Her pas de deux with Peter Ottman as her lover are almost steamy, in an aristocratic way, of course. And, once again. we make our plaintive enquiry over why Mr. Outman has not yet been promoted to Principal. The choreography of Ronald Hynd is true to the Writ of the waltz and seems to matte the work of the dancers easier. It isn't, of course, but it seems so and that seeming ease comes over the floodlights as sheer enjoyment. Individual dancers will not be singled out here since all perform to the ex- pected excellence of The FAIRVIEW LIBRARY THEATRE 35 Fairview Mau Drive.

ON STAGE: Douglas Cleverly of Mix- ed Company sends along a reminder that Life On The Line continues until May. 17th ( there might well have been an extension of run by the time this appears) at the Glen Morris Studio Theatre an Glen Morris St. near Bloor and Spadlna. It's a one man show per- formed by Cliff Saunders and is described as a series of musical moments in the life of a contemporary Everyman. The first musical nximent of our day comes when we switch to the cold water while showering. ON RECORD: In Review: We deplore the title but love the content of World Music (Mango Attic). Reggae, the more or less national music of Jamaica, has not as yet spread over the world any more than Jamaicans themselves who seem content to bring their culture or what ever to Canada, the United Kingdom and the U.S.A. only. It does, however, catch on wherever it's introduced and your catholic music _lover admits an affection for this singular music that seems to capture the loping dance rhythms of the West Indian island.

Certification cards, log books, S.P. gauges and buoyancy compensators A new program at Black Creek Pioneer Village, "Environmentally Friend- ly Victorians", looks at how Victorians applied the three is - reducing, reus- ing and recycling - to everyday life. Although they were "en- vironmentally friendly" largely out of necessity, their ideas can still be ap- ted today. For example, ad pudding, a common way of using stale bread, is still a good household waste reducer and budget saver. Cloth and paper were recycled in many ways being rediscovered today. Visitors to Black Creek from Apr. 25 to May 10 will discover vintage ideas perfect for today's friends of the environment. They can select question cards and, while touring the Village. get answers to their questions from the in- terpreters. It's a unique educational experience - one they are not likely to forget.

May 6, 1992 THE !YEWS POST Page 11 Proposed Beach's Arts Centre The plan for a permanent facility to house the Beach's visual and perfor- ming arts was originally conceived in 1965 by Com- munity Centre 55's Pro- gram Committee com- munity members identified a discrepancy between the quantity of arts enthusiasts and the limited space and facilities available to sup- port their interests. "The East End, par- ticularly the Beach, is a hot bed of amateur and profes- sional talent which needs and deserves a permanent home," says Bob Murdoch, Executive Director, Com- munity Centre 55. "We en- vision a Performing and Visual Arts Centre com- parable to existing facilities in Scarborough, Mississauga and other Metro communities." Tentative plans for the Beach's Performing and Visual Arts Centre include an acoustic theatre with seating capacity of about 250, along with facilities for set, costume and props con- struction and storage; visual art studios; and an art gallery. Potential mediums for the Arts Cen- tre would be dictated by community interest but could include theatre, music, mime, dance, video; film, creative writing, painting, photography and sculpture. Following the model of a typical housing co-op, each user group would share in managing the Arts Centre and day -today operations would be carried out by a skeletal salaried staff. The facility would be self - sustained and funded by user group fees; charitable donations and occasional fundraising events. In keeping with its man- date, Community Centre 55 is committed to providing staff and volunteer resources to help the com- munity "help itself" build an Arts Centre facility - ac- cessible to all members of the community. "Beyond providing a needed outlet to foster the artistic expression of local artists, we also hope it will provide a base for pro- grams to encourage the arts among young people,"' says Greg Peter- son, Project Chair and Chairman of Centre 55's 1992 Board of Manage- ment. Headed by Peterson, a volunteer Arts Centre Com- mittee, comprised of members of the arts com- munity and Centre 55 per- sonnel, has been formed to oversee the realization of this vision. However, the committee welcomes other individuals who would like to provide input and assistance in establishing the Beaches Performing and Visual Arts Centre.

From Apr. 26 to May 2, we can all pay tribute to Canada's 13 million volunteers, and to the vital role they play in the develop- ment evelopment of our communities. This year's campaign is sym- bolized by a single red rose. The importance of vo!uhteer work to the community is something I know first hand. Prior to my election as Member of Parliament, I was involved in volunteer work through several capacities. Through such experiences as being a Boy Scout leader for 13 years, my involvement with the Rotary Club and participation with environmental awareness groups, I fully understand the vital services that are provided by volunteer work. Indeed, the volunteer represents citizen participation in the truest sense. When Canadians give freely of their time and skills for the benefit of others in their communities, we all benefit. Our quality of life improves. Canadian citizens who work as volunteers define the true spirit of caring and giving - values that are inherent to the character and reputation of our nation. Our volunteers have become the backbone of our cornmunties: they continue to meet urgent social needs, and their contributions affect radho s of Canadians every day. The act of volunteering has a direct impact on our desire to build a Canada for our future that is consistent with the basic values for Canadian citizenship - equality and par- ticipation. That impact is reflected across the nation by in- creased economic and social development, factors that are crucial to the future well-being of this country. In fact, the value of the wort that volunteers do is very significant - sur- passing 13 billion dollars per year! This year. I urge you to recognize National Volunteer Week and take some time to pay tribute to those volunteers who support Canadians in need. Better yet, get involved yourself. Whether it's by helping others learn to read or write. or getting together to clean up the enviroriment, you can Play a part in the improvement of our society. I can assure you that you'll achieve a highs degree of self- satisfaction in the process. {s•.rx3v: rr}si:ti�=:v�'_.r: �:r_•_ti . •S:i:}-_:S:_t_:x %ir++�r.• _•%i�'`OOii�f} ADULT LEISURE PROGRAMS The Ajax Recreation Department his put together some interesting spring courses. here's some information: Better Pictarvs is a Snap: Join this rouse and improve your picture -taking in oo time.
