Pickering (905) 509-5005 MUCH Day Of Awareness May 12th. marks the se- cond International M.E. CFS Day of Awareness. May 12th is the birthdate of Florence Nightingale, possibly one of the earliest known cases of this disease. '.Myalgic Encephalomyelitis 1 M.E. or Chronic Fatigue Syn- drome 1 CFS 1 is a painful. debilitating disease with no known cause or cure. On this day. in Canada and around the world. govern- ments. elected represen- tatives and the media are being contacted to draw at- tention to the special needs of people living with this disease. M.E. CFS functionally disables people of all ages and from all walks of life. Despite the fact that the U.S. Centre for Disease Control published a "Work- ing Case Definition" for CFS in 1908 and, recently, the World health Organiza- tion classified it as a ..Disease of the Nervous System", the Ontario Mirustn of Health has not initiated any system to gather data on M. E CFS. An estimated 10.000 peo- ple. affected in Ontario. adds up to a significant cost to our social service agen- cies, tax revenues. in- surance companies and health care system. The Durham M.E. demands that the Provin- cial Government support research specific to ME. CFS, including an epidemiological study to answer basic questions about prevalence. transmissibility and long term prognosis. The Ontario Govern- ment. 18 months after a Clinical Research Adyisory Board report to the Ministry of Health, has not moved on recommended initiatives for people living with M.E. CFS and similar illnesses. Thousands of people con- tinue to endure this painful disease and are forced to live as second class citizens with inadequate health care. The Ontario Ministry of Health immediately should convene the long promised Provincial Ad- visory Committee.

N1ay 11, 1994 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Car Driving by Bob Watson Have you ever noticed the amount of local car drivers who do not carry out the rules to make for good driving con- ditions? There's one error which many drivers commit and that is not to turn their "left" or "right" turn indicators on so the rest of us Hill know- what is going to happen. We believe that a lot of new drivers don't believe that this is an important element in good. safe driving. But it is and accidents can happen if the car behind you is unaware of your next step. Then there are those inconsiderate drivers who come up a narrow 2 lane side street to make a left hand turn. Do they keep to the left? No - they hog the centre of the road so that the following wanting to go right has no space to pass. The Ontario Government doesn't seem to be concerned about these small acts of driving but we believe that correc- tion of these matters would make driving safer for everyone.

Dear Sir: Those who claim that "money buys elections" will have a hard time explaining the most recent Elections Canada report. The report. which reveals how much the various political parties spent in last year's federal election, showed that the election's biggest losers were also the election's biggest spenders The PCs spent $to million and won only two seats - which works out to 55 million per seat' On the other hand, Reformers won 52 seats after spending $1.5 million - which works out to only $28,846 per seat. It seems fairly obvious that monev does not buv elections. Canadian voters are smart enough to base their voting decisions on what is said by whom. not how much money a candidate or party may spend spreading that message. That'c why laws which restrict what political parties or Queen's Park Report Anne Swarbrick, M.P.P. Scarborough West Ontario's NDP Government Action For Women The NDP government is committed to breaking down the barriers that have prevented women's full participation in all facets of society. We are also working to change legisla- tion, policies, and programs to ensure women can take their rightful place in society. Some of our accomplishments for women include: Pay Equity The Pay Equity Act has been expanded to include 420,000 more working women not covered in the previous legisla- tion. We are spending $568 million to increase wages in some of the lowest paid women's jobs. Funding For Women's Centres A local women's centre is often the first stop for a woman who is leaving an abusive relationship, or trying to make changes in her life. The NDP government created a $1 million stabilization program for 20 women's centres to en- sure their continued service and advocacy for Ontario women. Protection for Homeworkers Many jobs done in factories and offices are being moved into private homes. Women who work in their homes are isolated, often work on piece work and are among the most vulnerable workers in our society. The NDP government announced changes to the Employment Standards Act to improve wages and working condition protection for homeworkers. More and Better Childcare Working women need good quality and affordable childcare. The NDP government is working on plans to reform the chldcare system and making changes now. 10,000 new subsidized spaces have been created under the JobsOntario training program. Since 1990, spending on childcare has increased 45%. the largest increase in the s}stem ever. Gild and Family Support Plan Some parents do not pay court ordered support payments for their children. Thanks to the NDP government. child and spousal payments are automatically deducted from the pay cheques of employees ordered to pay family support. We are making changes to the system to make sure children get the support owed to them. Preventing Vioieuce .against Wemen and (1lildren Our government is committed to eradicating violertce. This year over $99 million will be spent in programs which range from services like shelters and sexual assault cen- tres to improvements in the justice system and public education campaigns. This is more than double what the federal government spends for the whole country. News From Ottawa from Dan McTeague MP Ontario Riding Dan McTeague, M.P. Ontario Riding, supports draft legislation introduced in the House of Commons on Apr. 21st by the Hon. Allan Rock, Minister of Justice, which prohibits the sale or distribution of serial killer trading cards and serial killer board games to individuals under the age of eighteen. The draft legislationwill be studied by the Standing Com- mittee on Justice and Legal Affairs. This will provide Cana- dians with an opportunity to express their views on the legislation before the committee reports back to the House of Commons and the legislation is passed into law. '-No responsible individual wants this type of product sold to our youth. The action taken by the Justice Minister is a positive step which will also assist in addressing related issues such as violence in Canadian society, crime preven- tion and youth crime," said McTeague. '-A number of constituents in Ontario Riding have in- dicated to me their disgust and concern over the sale of serial killer cards and board games. These materials glorify violent criminals and their brutal acts. I commend the :Minister for introducing this legislation as i believe the government must take measures to protect children and youth from exposure to material which exploits violence, cruelty and horror. I look forward to even more action be- ing taken in the near future," concluded McTeague. independent citizens spend to spread their messages not on] violate the freedoms of speech and association, they're simply not needed.

If you are 55 or over but are still young at heart, the City of Scarborough has just the thing for you. The City has reopened the Birkdale Community Centre which will do its best to satisfy your appetite for fun. The centre, which underwent expansion because of overcrowded conditions, reopened Apr. 7, and the results have been fantastic. Renovations include: 2 new large craft rooms: a large workshop room with an adjacent storage and kiln room: an expanded billard room: an enlarged sunroom: a small extension to the kitchen to accommodate classes: larger and improved office space for the staff at the centre: an enlarged cloak room with walk-in service: the addition of accessible and user-friendly washrooms: and 16 new Ding spaces.

Two other comnmunity centres whidr cater to all ages are once again delighted to serve the City oto -borough. Cedarbrook Community Centre reopened Apr. 12, and in the words of Councillor Sherene Shaw, "Wow!". The centre was originally the home of the Cedarbrae God and Country Chub which served as the clubhouse from 1929 to 1956. The building was purchased by the township of Scarborough in 1957, and served as the offices of the Receatioa and Parks Department. In ISM a Capital Building Program was approved as the centre was in need of upgrades to meet the Ontario Building Code requirements. Renovations to the facility include: fire protection: electrical service: ventilation and air conditioning improvements: general upgrades for better access to the building, washrooms and the second floor: improved lighting: and the reconfiguration of program space. The building will continue to serve the community with space available for community groups, public receptions, and activities for seniors.

May 11, 1994 THE !NEWS/POST Page 5 Metro Council News from Ken Morrish Councillor Scarborough Highland Creek now As you know, when you received your last water bill, the Scarborough Public Utilities Commission itemized that bill for the first time. However it is unfortunate that the S.P.U.C. did not attempt an explanation of this breakdown for their water customers. By failing to provide one, it is apparent that the S.P.U.C. caused considerable confusion for residents of Scarborough. My office received over 50 calls in the first two days and continues to receive daily inquiries from residents after the bills were delivered. attempting to determine the usefulness of this new information. 1 would like to take this opportunity to clarify this breakdown for you and describe in some detail the water - related costs passed on to you by Metropolitan Toronto. As you will recall. the new information provided on your bill contained the following: For every $1 charged to a customer for water. the cost is broken down in the following manner: Metro Pollution Control Surcharge 50%: Cost of Water 27%: S.P.U.C. 23%. Metro contends that this information is "erroneous and could he misleading". Because the SPUC distribution system experiences a 13 to 14 percent loss of water, it is inaccurate to attach that loss to the Metro portion of the bill instead of their own. If the losses experienced in the Scarborough system are applied against the S.P.U.C. portion of the bill the breakdown is as follows: '.Metro Pollution Control Surcharge 440(,: Cost of Water ZM : S. P. U. C. M. Nonetheless. the majority of the costs associated with your bill are for metro services -for water supply and for sewage treatment. The metro Pollution Control Surcharge is Not A New Tax' it is the cost of sewage treatment that you receive, and that is calculated according to how much water you purchase or tse. it is the largest part of the bill because it costs more to treat our waste sewage water than it does to filtrate and purify the water as it comes from Lake Ontario for human consumption. The SPAT C. has failed to point out that when you pay for crater, you pay the costs associated with water use: the cosi of filtration. pumping. watermains. trunk sewers and sewage treatment. Even though we live next to the largest supply of freshwater in the world, "borrowing" that water for our purposes is not free in a sound and carinii environmentally conscientious c mmunity. it is my sincere hope that the information provided here will held you understand how the entire water system works and how much you pay for each component of this service. We are continuing to strive to provide water at the lowest possible cost. most equitable cosi allocation and mast environmentally sound fashion. If you have any questions or comments about this matter please call me at my office 392-4055 or write me at Metro Hall. 55 John Street. Suite 223, Toronto. Ont M5V 3016.

Food Banks Are Changing b% Earl Johnston Future food banks will be doing more than just giving away food. says Gerard Kennedy, the executive director of the Daily Food Bank ..w'e're trying to change the w•av food banl-u work.. Kennedy said during an in- ter view. When people go to food banks for food. thea are resorting to a temporary solution. The underlying problem for most is unemployment. and that is where we want to provide more assistance. he said Looking for a job can be a very time-consurrng pro- cess Some people cant even afford public transit and have to walk everywhere. which means they dont get to see too man,. prospective employers in a day. The food bank want to make telephones available. so clients without convenient phone access can make calls to set up intemews Some banks will even have a fax machine. as many businesses today want to comunicate by this method. After the food is handed out. clients will be able to linger and exchange notes "Seventy-five per cent of the people going to food banks have lost their jobs since the recession began." Kennedy said While many of these have taken go% ernment-sponsored training courses. less than 3o% have found jobs.' he cialms B% making it easier for people to contact prospec- tive employers. it is reasoned that more will find jobs. and the demands on the banks for food will decrease. Kennedy said the de- mand for food has increas- ed over the last two years because of cut-backs in welfare assistance We've just been hang- ing onwe've really been overextended." he said. The demand for food was down m Februan . and the situation appeared to be coming under control. but "there was a big jump in Mfarch." he said. The food banks have limited resources and can only do so much in helping clients contact prospective employers. Government needs- to provide financial assistance or transit passes so people can get around. Kennedy said. Children Invited To Join Bach Chorus Tne Baer.

"in this area we've had dra- matic statistics for the first two months of this year. For ex- ample, last year we had a total of 60 arrests - we've had 20 in Jan. and Feb. already. In 1993 we recovered $07,000 in stolen property - we are already at S186,(W for 1994!" Crime Stoppers began in 1976 in Albuquerque, New Mexico when Detective Greg Mac.Meese was investigating a homicide. He could find no evidence or other leads so he appealed to the public for their help. By offering a cash reward and promising they would re- main antonymous he thought he might get more of a response. Within hours he received a South Cochrane and sur- rouding areas. Provincial President Marie Locke of Camp- bellford announced the for- mation of a new primary chapter, the Aurora- Leksand, in Aurora, Ont. In a portion of her message, Mrs. Locke remarked that IODE has maintained a major focus on children over the years. With 1994 being designated as The Year of the Family, it was both fit- ting and gratifying to note the opening last fall of the Provincial IODE Genetics Research Centre at Children's Hospital in Lon- don. Ont. where families of children with rare genetic diseases are able to link with similar families. As well. the Centre pro- vides professionals and On- tario families with current information on available resources. Mrs. Locke ex- pressed her warmest thanks to members for their generosity in the sup- port of Genetic Medicine in Ontario. Dr. Jack H. Jung, Director, Universitv of Western Ontario Regional Medical Genetics Centre, was the guest speaker dur- ing the "Concern For Children" Plenary Session.

And that's how Crime Stop- pers was born. The effect of Crime Stoppers on Al- buquerque was dramatic - at the time it was among the top 10 cities in crimes per capita in the U.S. By 1979 it had fallen out of the top I W. The program has now spread to more than 1.000 communi- ties across North America, with more than 90 organizations in Canada. Why is Crime Stoppers so successful? ' Any member of the public with information about past, present or future crimes can call a special hotline num- ber, pass on the information and remain totally anony- mous. ' Callers need not give their name or testify to court. which means they don't have to fear any reprisals from the criminal. ' A cash reward is vrovided for any information that leads to an arrest, which pro- vides a financial incentive to report the crime. ' All the money for opera- tions, including rewards, is raised totally through in- dividual or corporate dona- tions. No tax dollars from any level of government are involved! -Each region has its own board of directors (made up of concerned citizens) who are re- sponsrbic for the administra- tion, local fund-raising activi- ties. control of funds, and pay- ment of all cash rewards for information," says Monette. Student Crime Stoppers To attack crime at its earliest stages and to address the grow- ing problem of violence in our schools, Student Crime Stop- pers is under way in some Canadian communities. includ- ing 127 of the junior and senior high schools in Edmonton. This program asks kids to take charge of their own school environment and do something about the people who are damaging their property, steal- ing things and threatening stu- dents. The philosophy is that the offending student took some- thing out of society and must now put something back in. Student Crime Stoppers began in 1984 in Boulder, Colorado. As many more schools become interested, National and Provincial Crime Stoppers are working to ensure all high school programs are consistently run and managed.

The exhibit will be officially opened by Lord Wedgewood of Barlaston on Fri. May 13 at 7p.m. Mounted to coincide with the 39th annual Wedgewood International Seminar, in Toronto from May 11 to 14, "Designs for Dinner" is a unique opportunity to see how the tastes of the fashionably conscious entertainer were mirrored in their meal accessories. Highlights include: a circa 1790 Creamware asparagus server, a first period bone china fruit bowl painted by John Cutts circa 1820. Ivanhoe plates designed by Thomas Allen circa 1881, a 22" hand painted earthenware charger (plate) circa 1910, and a 1963 Ravenstone coffee service designed by X267 at Gr 416 Robert Minkin. The Wedgewood International Seminar brings together collectors and admirers of ceramics from around the world to promote the study of ceramics. This year's program features speakers from Canada, Europe and the United States, all experts in their fields, discussing such topics as: "Three Centuries of Wedgewood. Pueblo Pottery of the American Southwest, Wedgewood in Nova Scotia Households, the Archaeology of Pottery, and Wedgewood Royal Commemoratives". Seminar attendees will also tour the Gardiner Ceramic Museum, the Royal Ontario Museum Ceramics Collection, an exhibit at Robart's Library, University of Toronto, and the "Designs for Dinner" exhibit at The Gallery in Metro Reference Library.

Mai, 11, 1992 Bill Watt's Worlds ON YOUR TOES: For the final program of its Spring Season at The O'Keefe the National Ballet offered the world pe7n ere of Glen Tetlev's Oracle. Mr. Tetley is now 68 and well entitle to retirement but one hopes this latest work is not ­his last. While acknowledging that artistic success is a subjective thing, The Column s opi- nion is that Oracle is not Mr. Tetlev's best to date. Once aggain he has gone to the we D of myth for his inspiration. Oracle is f un- damentally plotless but re- examines the still widely held belief that the origin and continuation of univer- sal life is matriarchal, not patriarchal. He does so with five women and five men in a series of dances intended to convey five of the relationships that such a Creator shares with mankind - birth, initiation. consumation (one wonders what's the difference), repose and death. It's certain] interest)ng but, inspite ofythe sub1'ecf. the work seems listless. There seems, for example. little of the fire that exists in initiation consurniation. Nor is there the wonder- ment manifest in all birth. Perhaps it's the too sculptured choreography. Perhaps it's the uninsphr- Ziinngg music of Carl Vine's ero Symphony exhuma- tions. Wf)o can sav^ For certain. the dancers can't be faulted. Not Margaret Illmann and Robert Tew•slev who con- tinue to dance as one. Not the regal Gizella W'itkowskv. `or the ex- citing Nils-Bertil Wallin. SUMup' Oracle is not wi much to recom- mend it but it's not memorable. It -a-as preceded by four short works and negret- tablv each can be com- rneetit fed upon onlyD retch Ca choreographed by Chnistopher• House, is i charming series of dances evoking the atmosphere of a French cafe. (Marseilles we should think) . It has the sensuality of apache danc- ing and the -humour of knockabout. (Aleksander Antonijeo is delivers a fine Chapluiesque bit).

M. Grand -Maitre is either supremely arroant or foolishly blind not to realize how puny are his ef- forts when compared to the works of others who are so clearly his superiors. John Allevne's Split House Geomefric, as noted in earlier reviews• is a piece of inconsequential piffle undeserving of a company's efforts. The Strangeness of a Kiss by SergeBennathan is well strange but redeemed by some ex- cellent strength moves. The evening be n with promise but ended with something a little less than satisfaction. CURTAIN CALL: After the current en age- ment ends, The Na Tonal leaves for a five week season of performances in Munich. Caesarea (its first ever engagement in Israel). Luxembourg and The Hague.

ON ST.%GE: Independence by Mustapha Nlatura is in cur- rent presentation at the Berke el y Street Theatre and The Column rather much expected the worst... another invective on the old evils of English col- onialism, as though it were unique.

Oh, it's set in 1968 Trinidad but it could be in any emergent country where the older populace prefers the devil it once knew to the corrupt and in- efficient vagaries of new si} le government espoused idealistically but foolishly b9 the y o nk ash raurnbers six. Indiependence achieves its success through the words and actions of the two principal characters. Henry Gomez is an older mar, now tending the poolside bar of a once lux- urious and prosperous hotel. He deplores what it Inas become under the new ..free" - read Communist - government. He liked life better when each person knew his or her place Yet. he's not an Uncle Tom: he's a man of innate digni tv. His dissertation on what it once meant to be a bar man - before automatic measures on bottles and other such tomfooleries became the norm - is a piece of pure theatre. Luther Hansral is his young co-worker. ( No :.assistants in Communist gov'ernment you know j. Hes restless and discontented but his discon- tent is over the stiflitnig bureaucraev of the pnesen- gover•nmenf. . Astute readers will have Around and About Your Dining & Entertainment Guide realized by now that In- dependence has gleaned much from The Admirable Crichton, Ninotchka and The Comedians. Presented in the sing song, and sometimes difficult to understand, dialect of Trinidad it becomes a pleasurable comedy ex- perience. Adding to the comedy is Ivor Picou as a silly ass government official and Monique Scheult as the lively woman of the younger, man. Theres poignancy from Elizabeth Shepherd and Claude Bede in their roles of former Governor's Ladv and Governor. Both still carry the emotional scars of the lady's tragic in- discretion of some years before. It's a bit of it sub plot necessary to establish the social corxiitions that existed before the change. Marvin Ishmael directs rather too lightly in allow- ing some bravura where none is called for but, in the main, marshals movement nicely. Independence tuns until May 22nd and your custom is recommended.

The Stone's son (Stuart Clow) happens to be the producer of these movies and returns to the home town with his porn queen (Claudette Mink) as potential daughter-in-law.
