September :N. 1943 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Stupidity Reigns by Bob Watson The professional baseball strike and the pending cancellation of NHL hockey games due to the same idiotic lack of agreement between richly paid human beings is viewed by most Canadians as stupid. How can sports players earning $5 million a year to play games for part of the year honestly demand more money' Don't they realize thaf their excessively high salaries come from the pockets of the thousands of keen sports fans and not from the owners of the teams.) Over the coming winter sports enthusiasts are going to switch their lovalties to other sports like basketball, and football. Most of us who grew up playing hockey and baseball cannot believe these excessive salaries for playing games. Why can't sensible ideas come out in these negotia- tions' Oh well, let's start thinking about other games - like politics: Letter To The Editor Invaluable Service Dear Editor: i would like to advise you of an invaluable senice provided by a support group of dedicated volunteers that helps people who have just separated, divorced or are suffering from a love relationship that has ended. This support group is called Transition Linking Connections I TLC 1. It is a Notdor-Profit organization and is totally run by volunteers who have experienced the pain and suffering of the separation divorce process and who are row committed to helping others gain control of their lives. People who are in need. can call the TLC support line at (905, 844-7596 and register for the next 13 weeks course which starts flct. 17 94 The coarse includes lectures presentations by experts in the Family Therapy. Legal. Financial, Public Health, Mental Health, and Net III Ing fields. 1 have just completed the April to July course and found it invaluable in many ways ..general knowledge, self-help resources, but most importantly, support from people who have successfully coped with their own experiences and support from people going through various stages of the process Individual counselling can help those who need it, but group support helps all irdividuals in a way that one-to- one courmelling cannot. Just being able to share your troubles with people who can understand and relate to them, is a giant step forward and a beginning to the healing process. The lectures and debate in small groups that follow-, provide a step by step program for reem•e v Included in the course fee of $150. is a text book that forms the basis of the course and one year's subscription to -'Single File" which is a monthly newsletter for singles. Single File provides articles of inspiration and information, useful to everyone and a monthly social calerndar of events which allows people to connect on a regular basis for good times and support. I have been to many of these events and they have helped me to make new and lasting friendtships which is key to a new beginning. I often think back to one year ago, when 1 was in a clinical depression but didn't know it. my doctor confirmed there was nothing physically wrong with me and gave me the number of a support group for separated divorced people. i called that number and it changed my life forever. 1 am now happy. healthy and a lot wiser. I have many new single friends and each day is a blessing. Quite a change ... you might even say that I was born again because i really feel like the person I was before 1 got ruarried, only better. There is a saving that the "Sky is the limit". Well for me, it's even better. "There is no limit". The people that i've met through TLC have opened many new and exciting doors. Please help me to pass on this message to others, there is hope. there is health, and there is happiness. It's yours for the asking, call TLC and start the beginning of your new life today. I want you to feel as good as I do. Please help to spread the word about TLC. Please call me if you have any questions or would like any further information. Bus: 905-316-3859. Home: 416 444 5451.

Since my name is mentioned in a letter from Mary Moore (Aug. 31. 94 ) i would like to respond. In connection with the erosion of the Bluffs she asks where I was when developments in other parts of Scarborough were planned which have contributed to environmental problems around the Bluffs. 1 believe that I was practicing medicine and not contemplating politics at the time. And I suspect many of the politicians of the day were not aware of the long term implications of planning that was not sensitive to water courses and other environmental features. 1 have assured Mrs. Moore that i always find her ideas constructive and accept the challenge of working to preserve the environment that she presents. Sincerely Bob Frankford MPP Scarborough East Housing Starts Drop In :august National housing starts fell 3.1 percent in August to 148,600 units at a seasonally adjusted annual rate (SAAR), reported Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation- The July starts level was 153,400 units SAAR. in urban centres, starts of single -detached dwellings were down 11 percent in August to 65,300 units SAAR, compared with 73,400 units in July. Multiple unit construction moved up 6 percent to 58,300 units SAAR. from a level of 55,000 units in the previous month. Stronger Housing Starts In 19% National housing starts will be up 3 percent to 159,400 units in 1995. reported Canada Mortgage and Housing (CMHC) in its third quarter National Housing Outlook. For 1994, housing starts should reach 154,600 units, just under the total of 155,443 units in 1993. "More homes will be built in 1995, as the economy's momentum and strong migration offset the impact of higher mortgage rates. The central provinces - Ontario, Quebec and Manitoba - should lead the rest of the country," remarked Gilles Proulx. CMHC's Chief Economist. Ottawa & Manitoba Start Project For Sole Parents The governments of Canada and Manitoba have announced a creative program that will provide 4,000 sole parents currently on welfare with the tools they will need to find employment, build careers and provide a better fuhrme for themselves and their children. The five-year 'Taking Charge!' program was announced by federal Htrnan Resources Development Minister Lewd Axworthy and Manitoba Family Services Minister Bonnie ie Mitchelsm. The project's total cost of 526.2 million is to be equally funded by the two governments. The federal share is funded taxies the Strategic initiatives Program, a key element of social rkrwty reform. It provides governments with a unique mechanism to experiment. Manitoba's funding is part of the prmnvince's "Making Welfare Work" program. "Taking Charge!" builds on the approximately SM million in income support that participants will receive through social allowances cast -shared under the Canada Assistance Plan by both levels of government. "Taking Charge!" is a new way to help overcome utempl,yrrnent and poverty in single parent families," said Axwnrthy. "Coordinating our programs and services and Involving community groups and the private sector will be the key to the success of this initiative. as well as to the overall revitalization Canada's social security system.'. "in the past, most government programs have treated sole parents - and sole mothers in particular - as 'unemployable'. said Mitchelson. "With 'Taking Charge!'. we're changing that dwection. Instead of puffing barriers in people's way. we're prrniding reasonable incentives and the tonLs they can use to find jnhF and enjoy satisfying careers." There are currently about 12.000 sole parents receiving welfare in Manitoba. By utilizing a costing federal and prrnincial prrmgrarns in new ways. "Taking Charge!

National Celiac Awareness Week October 2 - 8 The Canadian Celiac Association has declared Oct. 2-8, "National Celiac Awareness Week". The 24 chapters across Canada are planning awareness ac- tivities during this week. Celiac disease is a condi- tion in which the lining of the small intestine is aged by gluten to pro- tein found in wheat, rye, triticale, barley and oats). It occurs in both children and adults. - Untreated celiac disease causes severe anemia and malnutrition. These are especially dangerous in young children. "Gregory who lives in the town of Pickering. Ont. was the sixth boy born into our family, and from the start. he was irritable. His temperament was different from his five more placid brothers. In infancy he suf- fered from malnutrition and anemia, and cried almost constantly. With the introduction of regular food, Gregory's condition worsened. He developed chronic diar- rhea, resulting in severe weight loss, and barely enough strength to support his own body. Af ter several months under a specialist's care, Gregory went into hospital. He spent seven weeks undergoing tests, and when the doctors decided to per- form a biopsy of his small intestine, they diagnosed celiac disease. Due to his prolonged illness, we feared that his pancreas had been damaged. However, within a month of changing to a gluten-free diet, Gregory was a com- pletely different child - Where he had been listless and fatigued, he was now full of energy. His severe stomach cramps stopped. Gregory is now almost seven, and has begun grade two. He enjoys all the same activities as other seven- year olds and is full of energy.

Harvey Eamon Women Invited To Join Let's Discuss It Women who are home during the day are invited to join one of five "Let's Discuss It" groups in Scar- borough. Groups meet one morning a week during the school year, and offer women an opportunity to make new friends, learn more about the community and its resources, share their concerns about daily living, and get a break from their children. The program provides super- vised childcare in a safe stimulating environment. "Let's Discuss It is ter- rific," says Ann Fox, for several years a group member and now the pro- gram's coordinator. "For me and other women who are at home with their children , it's wonderful to have the chance to meet with other women every week. It combats the isola- tion we tend to feel if we're not in the work force." Groups are led by volunteers who are trained and supported by the pro- gram's coordinator. "Let's Discuss It" is sponsored by the Metro Toronto branch of the Canadian Mental Health Association; the program has been operating in Scarborough for 25 years. All interested women are welcome. whether or not they have children. For more information. call (416) 7W7957.

Mack, one of Black Creek's Clydesdales, and his friends could use your help to make sure that they survive into the next century. Black Creek's special ,heritage breeds include such animals as Bronze :Turkeys, Toulouse Geese, Berkshire Pigs, Leicester ,Sheep, Muskovy Ducks and Black Cochin chickens from China. Donors to the Farm Yard Fund will receive, in addi- tion to the tax receipt, a certificate of recognition, a - data sheet and photograph With a "baaa f " and a "neigh!" and a joyful "cock-a-doodle-doo!" the animals at Black Creek :launched the Farm Yard 'Fund, a fun new sponsor- ship program designed to help support the animals living at Black Creek, some of which are special, heritage breeds. The Farm Yard Fund of- fers school classes, com- panies and individuals the -opportunity to participate 'in life at Black Creek by making tax deductible -donations ranging from $25 'to $2,000 to sponsor a Black Creek horse, sheep, goose, ,,hen or any one of dozens of barnyard denizens. Dona - "-tions to the fund will help provide food, housing, fenc- ing and health care for these special critters. Among Black Creek's special breeds are the stur- dy Clydesdale horses, which settlers brought with them to pull ploughs, wagons and carts and to turn sweeps, treadmills and other farm machiney. These draft horses are the most lightweight and in- telligent of the heavy breeds, which also include the Percherons and Belgians. Clydesdales are known for their light, spr- ingy gait and their enor- mous strength relative to their size. T._ "1 screamed," Mike Johnston of Scarborough said after he scratched a Fall Classic 14,; tery ticket and instantly won $13,500. Johnston bought the ticket at Shop N Milk on Kinston Road while he was waiting for his cur to be repaired. He pians to buy a new truck with hi. windfall. Board Won't Readmit Expelled Students Trustees of the Scar- borough Board of Educa- tion voted on Sept. 14th to not readmit two former students who were expelled from the board earlier this year. Singers Are Happy In Move The "Serenata Singers", formerly "The Taylor Place Singers" in Don Mills, have recently moved to Scarborough. Formed in 1976, the choir consists of 60 men and women aged 55 years and older, who sing in four-part harmony. They now meet at Wilmar Heights United Church, 963 Pharmacy Ave., on Wednesday morn- ings from 10 a.m. to noon. While enjoying weekly rehearsals, fun and fellowship, the choir strives to continue their tradition of performing choral music to the best of their ability. The group sings a wide variety of music ranging from spirituals to show tunes and entertains at public functions and seniors' residences, as well as presenting an annual spring concert. They are self-supporting. Their director, Audrey McLeod, welcomes new members who have a general knowledge of music and a desire to sing in a choral setting. For further information ,call 497-5952 or 267-5616. "After reviewing the in- formation presented to us, the trustees of the board voted not to readmit these two students." said Board Chairman David Horrox. "nie onus was on the stu- dent to prove to the board that their behaviour had changed enough that they were no longer considered a threat to other students and staff. The board felt that at this time the students presence in the school would still be a threat to others." The two students who ap- plied to be readmitted to the board were a thirteen year old who was expelled in March for slashing another student with an ex- acto knife, and a seventeen year old who was carrying a replica hand gum and switchblade knife. Both students met mn dyvAWly with the trustees of the board. The students were expell- ed under the board's Safe Schools Policy, which went into effect on Dec. 1, 19% of the breed of animal they sponsor, and a special "thank you" letter. Their names will be entered in a place of honour at the village and they will be in- vited to an annual party in the barnyard where they'll have a chance to see their animals up close. Mack and his friends will -be there waiting to meet all the kind folks who want to make sure he and all the other special heritage breeds are around for a long time to come. The Farm Yard Fund is an ex- cellent opportunity to par- ticipte in the preservation of these special breeds. For more information about the Farm Yard Fund and how you can get involv- ed, write to or drop by the Visitors' Centre, Black Creek Pioneer Village, 1000 Murray Ross Parkway, North York, Ont.

Wed. tieptember 2li, 1994 THE NEWS/ POST Page 7 Hospitals Group Launches Speakers' Bureau Keeping Scarborough healthy is the reason behind the Scarborough Hospitals Group's recently launched Speakers' Bureau, the first of its kind between the four Scar- borough area hospitals. As health care ap- proaches the 21st century, it has become more impor- tant for hospitals to work together for the good of their community. In keep- ing with this growing trend, the four Scarborough Hospitals - Centenary Health Centre, Providence Centre, Scarborough Grace and Scarborough General Hospitals - have come together to form a Speakers' Bureau. "I am delighted to hear that the Scarborough Hospitals have begun a co- operative public education campaign," says Health Minister Ruth Grier. "This is an important initiative. Public discussion of health care is critical. We are all responsible for our own well being and we must work together to build healthy communities.,. The bureau will be of in- terest to those individuals seeking a health-related topic and guest speaker for a meeting, social gathering or community get- together. Topics include New Child Care Facility The sod turning ceremony for the Squirrels' Nest Child Care Centre took place at the future home of the centre, 1305 Ellesmere Avenue, on Sept. 7. Mayor Joyce Trimmer and Ward 5 Councillor Marilyn Mushinski joined . those involved in the project in putting the first shovel in the ground to signify the beginning of construction of the facility. The centre will open its doors to about so infants, tiddlers and yaw* pre- schoolers in the Spring of 1986. It will be an incorporated Ian -profit community based centre, supported by the City of Scarborough. licensed by the Ministry of Community and Social Services and managed by a voluntary Board Of Directors representing parents whose children attend the facility, city employees. city councillors and members of the community. Funding for the project is a joint venture between the Ministry of Community and Social Services through a jobsOntano grant and the City ofScarborough.

Discussions and negotiations have beer. going on for over two years. On May 25. 1984. a Memorardurn d Understanding was approved byboth parties indicating a step towards a fuel agreement. Since that date. intensive negotiations have failed to accomplish a satisfactory financial arrangement and a final formal agreement between the parties. "We simply ran out of time," said Mayor Joyce Trimmer. "We have a responsibility to our taxpayers, and could not commit them to a multi- million dollar state-of-the- art recreation complex and tennis facility, without a firm commitment from Tennis Canada. We wish them much success in their future endeavours." The city will proceed with other priorities, previously identified and approved by Council, valued at f22 million that will create jobs and stimulate the local economy under the Federal' Provincial Geritol Follies Need Inspiration!

September 28, 1994 Bill Watt's Worlds -ON STAGE ONE: Some will say that there's nothing new in Nothing Sacred, George Walker's play now appear- ing at the Winter Garden Theatre. First produced in 1968, it's loosely based on Turgenev's Fathers and Sons which was first published, we believe, in 1861. The novel was con- troversial at the time but its basic theme was and is immemorial. There has always been conflict bet- ween youth and age. radicalism and conser- vatism; new ideas and tradition. Still, there is something new about Nothing Sacred and that something is the rendering of Turgenev's turgid prose into humour. Nothing Sacred isn't a com- edy - is it? - but it's funny. The dialogue is wickedly witty and its delivery by a skilled cast. drilled by Mr. Walker and his co-director Patrick McDonald. extends It beyond wit to downright humour. Mr. Walker clear- ly agrees with Shakespeare, -'Better a witty fool than a foolish wit It's a large cast of un- varying excellence and this reviewer can regrettably comment only briefly upon each member. Randy Hughson is likeable as Bazarov, the in- cipient revolutianan• and David Starch as Arkadv his acolyte nicely delineates the confusion arising out of misguided idealism against love of family. David Fox as the latter's farmer father is essence of stolidity and a fail manqu * for Stephanie Morgenstern. his young "bride" of the earth Jeffrey Kuhn is effective as a dull witted clod as is Dan MacDonal& the cruel bailiff ... sort of a Russian Simon I,egree.

Michael McManus is pro- perly farcical as a friend of the young tucks and Robert Persichini, all bluster as a dull German bodyguard. ( He's called Sergei but we know what Turgenev had in mind, don't we.) Sonja Smits commands when she's on stage as the stately object of three men's affections. One of them is Pavel, Arkady's foppish uncle played by Eric Peterson. It's a plum role and Mr. Peterson plays it to plum- my perfection. He doesn't Cggo broad but teases the - and the audience - with the threat or promise of doing so. He's nicely abetted by Peter Boretski as his man servant in a portrayal straight out of the Eric Blore manual. There it is. Nothing Sacred is. or should be. nothing short of a hit ... again. STAGE TWO: A little learning is dangerous. True. The bat- tle of the sexes will never be won; there's too much fraternization between the enemies. False. Those are the only conclusions to be drawn after viewing David Mamet's Oleanna, this season's opening produc- tion of the Canadian Stage Company at its Berkeley Street theatre. It's a two character play in which a professor offers help and confidence to a female student only to face the loss of home. tenure and marriage after she complains of sexual harassment and rape within the defirtitions. of the law as it currently stands. The law is, as always has been. an ass. But then. so is the professor. Typical of some - most? - career academics, he's annoying- ly loquacious and seeming- ly narrow in vision, his statements to the contrary notwithstanding. Yet. he's sincere. It's not pejorative to say that he means well. The student. when fust seen, is a young woman struggling with a professed inability to understand the meaning of what the pro- fessor is trying to convey in his lectures. She is actually a half balked and unlearned militant feminist who pro- fesses to, and possibly does, represent a 'group' bent not upon the noble cause of gender equality but rather, gender dominance. He tries to reason with her but she will not have it. He resigns himself to his fate until she makes one cammand that sends him into true physical violence aganst her. At that point one senses applause from the au- dience. At the reception after the play, this reviewer made it a point of We do it ALL complete Renovations including Plumbing, Electrical, Drywalling, Painting Flooring and Ceramic tile etc. NU - LINE RENOVATIONS • Kitchens • Rec Rooms is Bathrooms • Wall Units For free estimated call 266.3591 Around and About Your Dining &Entertainment Guide speaking only to women and they agreed that the bitch - no, that's an insult to canines - the termagant had gone too far. Oleanna - see the play to determine the significance of the title - is a disturbing work that, in the hands of a playwright less skilled could have been a polemic at best and a diatribe at worst ... sort of Shaw gone wild. As it stands, it's not for the casual theatre goer and regular theatre goers will not experience anything unfamiliar. What will they ex- perience is crisp direction and design by Jim Guedo and good performances by - in order of speaking - R. H. Thomson as the pro- fessor and Kristen Thom- son (no relation) as the stu- dent. The farmer is all bumbling, albeit misplac- ed, sincerity. The latter is all misguided, and vicious, gender opportunistic. So powerful is this pro- duction that we're almost reluctant to mention the great legs of the woman seated in front of us. Now. that's impact! The play. we mean. OPERA: ONE The Canadian Opera Company's new, and Ar- tistic Director Richard Bradshaw's first full. season has begun with La Boheme at The O'Keefe. It's an excellent choice as the Puccini work is well loved. And with good reason. It's one of the most truly musical of the major operas with hovering melodies that touch the emotions. Almost any production of I, Bohbtrie is acceptable but one such as this, is memorable. Mr. Bradshaw elicits a superb sound from the orchestra and Director Michael Albana, aided by a good cast, sees to it that every member of same does well. Then, there are the four principals who, on the evening of our attendance, were simply the finest in combination we've ever ex- perienced. Adnante Pieczonka br- ings a dimension to her role that's all too frequently missing. Mimi is consump- tive it's true but she is live- ly, even vivacious, in spirit. Miss Pieczonka conveys that quality ever so nicely in her acting. As for her singing, words almost fail us in trying to describe the purity of her soprano voice, her strength in the top notes and her superb breath control. Miroslav Dvorsky suc- ceeds, too, in giving some substance to the role of Rodolfo, her lover. Here is no dreamy poet of the Per- cy Dovetonsils school but rather, a young man of ac- tion. His voice is almost sweet - we've always felt that Rodolfo's role should be pitched for a baritone voice - but not so much so as to take away the power of his passion. John Hancock as Marcello is a giant of a man with an accompany- ing giant of a baritone voice. He's vigourous in his pursuit of love, passionate in his love of life and ...Musetta. Ah, Musetta! When Your column reviewed Sally Dib- blee in last year's dreadful Nasferatuu, it allowed that Agatha Christie Classic At Fairview by Frank Knight - Agatha Christie continues to be the most popular of mystery writers. The adaptations of her novels continue to appear on television mystery series. She wrote a half a dozen plays herself, one of the best known being "Witness For The Prosecution". Written and set in the 50's It is a clever suspensful thriller with lots of room for characterization and courtroom scenes set in the Old Bailey. The story deals with a young married man who befriends an older rich woman. When she is murdered he is the chief suspect but with his disarming manner and the testimonv of his wife he is expected to be acquitted. But when his wife changes her story things don't look too good. Remember this was when the death penalty was still in force. With the Casual "the lady deserves better material ...in the future." She has it now in the role of blusetta and, by heaven, has made it her own. She is unequivocally the best Musetta we've ever seen and heard. She's saucy but sincere. flirtatious but not flighty (or is it vice versa?), self seeking but also generous- Her soprano voice swoops and soars with ease through various shadings right up to lyric. Yet, there's never a feel of 'concertizing", simply that of a beautiful voice be- ing used beautifully. La Bohcme is an auspicious beginning for the C.O.C. and its new Ar- tistic Director. Bravo! OPERA: TWO The Phantom of the Opera isn't an opera in the conventional sense of the word but it has the majesty and spectacle of the grand ones as well as the re- quisite tragedy. Your Col- umn was privileged to be among the attendees at the fifth year anniversary of its engagement at The Pan- tages. (Fine fireworks on stage after the final cur- tain) . Is it still as good as it was at the premiere? That's like asking if fifth wedding anniversary lovemaking is as good as that of the nup- tial eve. Of course it is. Is it better? For some it is; for others it isn't - but, it's still wondrous. Oh, there are com- parisons that can, and perhaps should, be made. In the title role Peter Kar- rie shows rather more anger than torment over his fate than did Calm Wilkinson. Glenda Balkan as the ingenue is just as sweetly brave as was Rebecca Caine. David Rogers as Raoul, her lover, seems more heroic that was Byron Nease. ( Miss Balkan and Mr. Rogers were per- formers on the original opening night in far lesser roles, showing the undeniable promise that brought them to stardom). But the, one could at- tempt comparisons of all the roles, principal and lesser. To what end? It must suffice that all con- tuua to be perforated avell.• Christie twist finish everyone is kept in suspense right to the end. Stage Centre Productions chose to open their 1994-95 season with their production of this classic play. John Illingworth (Sir Wilfrid Robarts Q.C.) gave his usual tour de force performance with sterling work by Marilyn Meitz (Romaine) and good support by Rob Maurin ( Leonard Vole) . The large cast was mainly in supporting roles and secondary characters and as usual in this group acquitted themselves with flair and acting ability. One disappointment was James Taylor (Mr. Myers Q.C. ) who came over very 'wooden' with no characterization. As I have stated before, this company's theatrical standards are very high and this production is no exception so that when they do make a mistake it stands out. These are minor criticisms but are valid within their context. The play is set in the 50's and the costumes were realistic to that period up to a point. The policeman's uniform was all wrong and no helmet is ever worn in court. The warder didn't have a uniform and the Judges' robes looked as if thev have been borrowed from a G & S society! Sir Wilfred's clothes were all wrong for an English barrister ( see Rumpole of the Bailey'). As an old theatrical pro. I hate to see silly production errors when all else is so well done.

"A sizeable group of Canadians know that we are a winter paradise," said Mr. Gilstrap. "Now we want to inform them about our more than 250 golf courses, 5 -star resorts, our Old West flavour, and the fact that we are an ideal place for families to vaca- tion during the entire year," he continued. Melaine Communica- tions Group ( MCG) is a full-service advertising agency and public relations firm, which has specialized in travel and hospitality in- dustry promotion for 14 years. MCG began management of the Arizona contract Sept_ 1, 1994. Susan Melnyk, President of Melaine said, "We are elated to have been selected to handle the Arizona account. Arizona is a beautiful year-round ,destination. It is a wonder- ful place for golfing, horseback riding, or just lounging by the pool. Many Canadians may associate Arizona with the Grand Ca- nyon, but we want them to know about the incredible diversity of the state." Melnyk added, "There is an affinity between Canada's natural beauty and that of Arizona. Once Canadians begin learning about places such as Sunset Crater National Monu- ment, Lake Powell, or the Wild West found in places like Tombstone and Bisbee, we know they will be eager to tour this spectacular state. " In 1993. nearly 300.000 Canadians visited Arizona. with the majority coming from Alberta, followed by Ontario and British Colum- bia, respectively.

What's New In France For Travellers France Honours Areas of Remarkable Taste France's gastronomical richness yields from the quality of its products such as Champagne, Charolais beef, oysters from Maren- nes, cheese from Ro- quefort, all of which are in- timately linked to their pro- duction sites and geography.

Oct. 2 - This This is the first year for the Wonderland Fall Col- ours Tour. and the fun- draising goal for the event is $100,000. The Multiple Sclerosis Society runs six Noranda Forest MS Bike Tours across Ontario. Since their inception in 1989, over $9.5 million has been raised to support the fight against MS.

"Our in - vol,mment with the Multi- ple Sclerosis Society and its Bike Tours is a $treat source of pride for our com- pany. We have been the ti- tle sponsor for the past six years, and this new tour is a fantastic opportunity for Noranda Forest to con- tribute to the fight against MS... A think the Wonderland Fall Colours Tour will be a great addition to our roster of Bike Tours," said Donald Aitken. Fundrais- ing Chairman for the MS Society ( Ontario Division ) . " he expansion of the MS Bike Tours has allowed for greater community in- volvement in the search for a cause and a cure for ALS. This kind of direct involve- ment in the MS Society's furAh-aising efforts not only increases the public's awareness of MS, but also offers a great day of cycl- ing fun for all participants. „ The Wonderland Fall Colours Tour would be im- possible without the dedicated efforts of over 150 volunteers.

Cafe Of Romance Play At NY Performing Arts Centre What's funny about life in Canada? Lots. according to "Cafe of Romance", a new musical play by Canadian playwright Michael Mor- risoa. "Cafe of Romance" (Harry's Cafe) is a magical haven on the bank of the St. Lawrence River. This is no ordindy cafe but a magical spot where wishes and dreams come true. Michelle. an aspiring singer, flees to the city to pursue a singing career and escape her ex-feanc4Ee, Jacques, the abusive boy next-door hockey player. While she awaits her big break, she waits on tables at Harry's and falls in love with Jon, a local artist. Trouble soon appears in the form of a letter from Jacques. He is coming to the city and wants to see her. Much to her dismay, her parents also arrive and Michelle must explain her Anglo boyfriend to her father, a hard nosed chauvinist and staunch P.Q. Michelle is further torn by her strong feelings for Jacques, feelings that spring from the past she's trying to shed. "This struggle between hearts and minds is a metaphor of the Canadian spirit," says Morrison, who is also the play's producer. "It's our past and our pre- sent, the fact that emotions and beliefs are at the root of most of the trouble in the world." So, if we're talking troubles, why does Mor- rison want us to laugh? "We have to laugh at ourselves," he explains. Laughter, he adds, is the spice that seasons understanding and, with "Cafe of Romance", Mor- rison is offering his au- dience a tasty and thought provoking dish. "Cafe of Romance", an original work presented by The New Breed Theatre Co., features book and lyrics by Michael Morrison and music by Ross Folkes. The play runs Sept. 30 - Oct. 15, 1995 at the Studio Theatre at the North York Performing Arts Centre. Preview performances are on Sept. 29 and Sept. 30. Admission is $15 for adults and $12 for students with a portion of all ticket sales donated to local women's shelters. Tickets are available at the box office or through TicketMaster.
