Goodbye Chief McCormack
by Bob Watson
Well, our Metro Toronto Police Chief - William
McCormack - has retired from the largest municipal police
force in Ontario. We have met the chief more than once and
found him to be a great person. So we wish him a successful
retirement - but maybe he will find another position to enjoy.
Government Debt And Deficit
-A Taxing Proposition?
by Preston 'Nanning
Canada is well over half a trillion dollars in debt, about
forty percent of which is owed to foreigh lenders. This debt
mountain was run up by decades of chronic overspending on
the part of governments. The interest payments on this debt
are eating away at our social programs and other
government sen ices. because as the debt increases. so do
the payments on it, and that leaves fewer dollars for
everything else.
So what' It's no big deal, some say. The problem isn't one
of overspending, it's one of government letting too many fat
cats off the taxation hook They suggest a lot of money can be
brought in to government coffers by eliminating tax
loopholes. and forcing the rich and the corporate sector to
pay more.
Tightening up the tax rules and reforming the system to
make it more fair could be helpful in wiping out the deficit
and bringing our financial house to order. But would it be
enough'
First. let's think about where corporate income is made. It
comes from customers. It comes from you and from me. the
people who buy products and services from the business
sector. Raise taxes on corporations and corporations raise
prices to make up the difference. Who pays the higher
prices' The customers, you and me. the people who buy
products and services from the business sector.
Look at gasoline prices, always a favourite target of money
hungry governments. iIIwn a new tax is levied, for instance
the 1.5 cent per litre tax currently being recommended by the
Commors Standing Committee on Finance. she. does the
price increase happen,
At the gas pumps. Who pays' You and me. the customer.
Common Sense Revolution
It would be hard to find anyone in Ontario who believes he
or she should be paying higher taxes. Today. Ontario is
among the highest -taxed jurisdictions in North America. Our
provincial taxes have been raised tis times in the last 10
years, including 11 hikes to personal income taxes.
This excessive burden drives away new investment and
jobs, and makes it difficult for Ontario business to compete.
not only in the global marketplace, but against other
provinces High taxes discourage employers and investors
from spending their money in Ontario and represent a major
barrier to job creation. Lower taxes. along with other
measures to encourage investment and job creation, will
send a signal around the world that Ontario is open for
business.
High taxes also discourage us from buying goods and
services, resulting in lower demand from manufacturers and
suppliers and, therefore, fewer new jobs. Lower taxes will
stimulate consumer spending and investment, providing a
direct boost to job creation.
Mike Harris and his team realize the importance to all of
us in lowering taxes. That is why Mike's Common Sense
Revolution calls for a 30% cut in provincial income tax rates.
Such a cut would give Ontario the lowest income tax rate in
Canada. For a middle-class family of four making a
combined income of 550.000. it would mean more than $4.000
in tax savings in the first three years alone.
With more dollars in our pockets, with more of our
neighbours at work and paying their way. and with
government working more efficiently, I am confident that
Ontario will experience strong and broadly-based growth.
Our taxes must be lowered as the first step in bringing
opportunity and jobs back to Ontario.

Reform Of Copyright Act
On December 22, 1994, Canadian Heritage Minister Michel
Dupuy announced measures that show the Liberal
government's commitment in supporting the development of
Canada's audio recording and magazine publishing
industries.
Reforms to the Copyright Act include the introduction of
"neighbouring rights" - royalties to be paid to Canadian
performers and producers for the use of their work. Now,
only songwriters, composers and music publishers collect
royalties when their music is broadcasted to the public. The
changes will be phased in over five years, with rates that
reflect the radio stations' ability to pay.
Music creators lose millions of dollars every year to home
taping of their work. A proposed royalty on blank audio
tapes, five cents per tape in the first year, ten cents in the
second and fifteen cents in the third, will be collected by
independent bodies from importers and manufacturers and
distributed to Canadian music creators. Upon the
introduction of the royalty, it will no larger be illegal for
Canadians to make home copies for their own use.
Current exceptions allow works such as books or
recordings to be reproduced or used in public performances
without authorization or payment, when that use is in the
public interest. The revised legislation, to be introduced in
mid 1995. would give additional exceptions to schools,
libraries, archives, museums and pereeptually4sabled
persons.
The Liberal government has also taken decisive action to
ensure that Canadian magazines don't lose advertising
revenue to split -run editions - foreign magazines with
Canadian advertise-ments and a minimal level of Canadian
editorial content. An excise tax of 80 percent of advertising
revenue will be collected from distributors or printers of
split -run editions.

Common Curriculum & Standard
Report Card Makes Sense
Reforming the education system is another good example
of a tough challenge that the NDP has faced up to after
previous governments dithered. The Liberals and Tories
talked for years about what could be done, but the Bob Rae
government has stopped talking and started making
pracitical decisions on education reform.
First we did our homework and asked the Royal
Commission on Learning to tell us what the public had to say.
7bey heard from more than 1,400 groups and individuals and
received more than 3,600 written submissions in the most
sweeping review of education in decades. Their report
received a lot of attention and there is broad support for the
changes it suggests.
For example, it makes more sense to have a common
instructional goal, or "curriculum", for the whole province.
We don't need a different group of educators starting from
scratch in every school board to figure out what basics to
leach our children; it wastes tax dollars and the quality of
education varies too much from board to board. All kids need
to learn the same basics. such as reading. writing, science
and math.
However. Ontario has not had the benefit of a province -
wide learning curriculum. Students in one school board face
different expectations about what they will learn than
students in the next county, or even the next school.
Tbis can be unfair for parents and students, and it
certainly is inefficient for all taxpayers We are ending this
waste. Education and Training Minister Dave Cooke has
announced that the Ministry will take responsibility for
m
curriculudevelopment in a move that will save taxpayers
SM million a year. School boards will still have flexibility to
add some local programs to reflect a community's unique
needs.
If all Ontario students have a common curriculum, then
the way we report a student's progress should be
standardized too. That's why we are preparing a common
report card for use in all schools across Ontario. The new
report card will mean that a student mark means the same
thing no matter where a child attends school. it will be used
tar the September 1996 school year.
A common curriculum and standard report card that
anyone can understand helps make the education system
more accountable. Our government will be making other
announcements about education reform in the weeks to
cane.
Also, in a few weeks we will distribute a Parents Guide to
the Common Curriculum to every school to make it clear to
parents what their children are being taught.
If you would like more information about Ontario's
Common Curriculum, please contact my constituency office

Car Repair Costs Up $18
Car maintenance and repair costs rose by $18 in a one-year
period according to a survey of 26,192 motorists conducted by
the Canadian Automobile Association I CAA).
In the 1994 Vehicle Durability Survey, motorists reported
an average repair cost of $679. In the 1993 survey, the
reported cost was $661, and the reported cost in the 1992
survey was $656. The increase of $23 over two years
compares favourably to the $118 increase during the previous
two-year period.
Concerned about the significant repair and maintenance
cost reported even by some new vehicle owners, CAA
extracted information on tire purchases from the survey
data. Ten percent of people owning a current model year
vehicle bought tires at an average cost of $357. CAA
speculates that these figures mostly represent winter tire
purchases.
Of those motorists reporting on tires, the average cost
overall was $312. The average cost generally descends with
the age of the vehicle. This suggests that owners of newer
vehicles may choose to purchase higher quality and more
expensive tires, or that owners of older vehicles may only
replace one or two tires at a time.
The highest number of tire purchases were reported by
owners of four-year old vehicles. It can be assumed that tires
today should last around three to five years, depending on
driving distance, the tire's tread wear rating and road
conditions, and that winter tires can extend a regular tire's
life.
CAA is the federation of all provincial and regional not-for-
profit auto clubs across Canada representing 3.7 million
members.

Federal Support For 2 Emergency Projects In Ontario
The federal
government's contribu-
tions toward two emergen-
cy preparedness projects
in Ontario have been an-
nounced by the Hon. David
Collenette, Minister
Responsible for Emergen-
cy Preparedness.
The federal government
is contributing $31,243
toward Phase One and Two
of a province -wide radio
telecommunications study
for Emergency Measures
Ontario. The study pro-
vides essential information
on the future radio corrl-
munications needs of On-
tario's emergency serviges
to ensure that there is a
plan in place for the use of
the radio frequency spec-
trum by all emergency ser-
vices in Ontario including
police, ambulance, fire and
Emergency Measures On-
tario. The federal govern-
ment is committed to
covering 45% of the total
cost of the multi -phase
study and the Province of
Ontario, the remainder.
The federal government
is also contributing $18,000
toward the Emergency
Services Program of the
Ontario Division of The
Canadian Red Cross Socie-
ty for its province -wide
training program in
emergency preparedness
and response for
volunteers. The federal
contribution covers 45% of
the cost ofAthe program
with the remainder con-
tributed by Emergency
Measures Ontario,
municipalities par-
ticipating in the training
and public donations to the
Red Cross.
The federal
government's contribu-
tions to both these projects
are provided under the
Joint Emergency
Preparedness Program
(JEPP), which enables the
Government of Canada to
contribute to - or to under-
take jointly with the pro-
vinces and territories -
emergeny preparedness
projects that enhance the
national response capabili-
ty.
"Well co-ordinated com-
muncations, good planning
and good training are
essential elements of
emergency preparedness
and response," said
Minister Collenette. "The
federal government's
tangible support of these
projects is evidence of our
continuing partnership
with the Government of On-
tario in working together to
improve emergency
preparedness across this
province."
This JEPP funding was
$280,000 For Community Centres
Ontario Culture and
Tourism and Recreation
Minister Anne Swarbrick
has announced grants
totalling $280.000 to the
Association of Community
Information Centres in On-
tario (ACICO) .
A $200,000 operating
grant will support the plan-
ning, operating and
marketing of Online On-
tario. an electronic net-
work for data collection
and sharing among com-
munity information cen-
tres.
Project funding worth
$80,000 will support

ty information centres
($35,000), automation
upgrades 1$10,000),
upgrading Online Ontario
standards ($10,000), expan-
ding the Train the Trainers
program 45,0001 and pur-
chasing public access ter-
minals ($20,000).
"Information is the
resource that fuels
society," said Minister
Swarbrick. "Community
information centres are
dedicated to helping On-
tanans become more in-
formed, innovative, involv-
ed and adaptable in a
rapidly charging society...
The Online Ontario
database contains informa-
tion on programs and ser-
vices available within com-
munities served by com-
munity information cen-
tres. The focus of the infor-
mation is human service
such as housing. employ-
ment, accessibility,
healthcare, eldercare and
daycare," Minister Swar-
brick added. "I am pleased
that we can continue our
support. Ondine Ontario is
an important link in the
development of the provin-
cial information highway
in Ontario. -
ACICO is an umbrella
organization representing
some 73 community infor-
mation centres and
associated information and
referral providers around
the province of Ontario. It
was formed to strengthen
and enhance community
information centres by pro-
viding leadership in the
areas of standards. ac-
creditation, marketing,
development and informa-
tion technology. To this
end, ACICO is establishing
a process of accreditation
of community information
centres with common stan-
dards of technology and
service delivery to take ef-
fect in early 1996.
Easter Seals Launches Campaign
More than 8,000 children
with physical disabilities in
Ontario will benefit
throughout the year from
the funds raised during the
March Easter Seal Society
fund-raising campaign.
The time-honoured
Easter -Seals" will make
their way into homes all
across the Greater Toronto
Area in the next few weeks.
First issued in Ontario in
1947, the "Seals" have
become known as a symbol
of support for children with
Physical disabilities.
"We're hoping that the
Seals will create much
needed awareness and
generate vital funds for
children with physical
disabilities," says Sylvia
Carbone, direct marketing
manager. "But the Seals
are only one of the many
fund-raising activities tak-
ing place in the Greater
Toronto area this year. "
Most of the money raised
throughout March will be
used to provide community
nursing, financial
assistance to purchase
equipment, transportation,
camps and parent support
programs.
We hope to raise $5.63
million during March,"
says Peter Ely, Executive
Director. The Easter Seal
Society. "The last couple of
years have been very
challenging for The Socie-
ty, Escalating equipment
costs, stricter budget
restraints and only 6.8%
government funding mean
a tougher road ahead for
The Society and the
families we serve.
Of The Society's $17
million budget set for 1995,
93.2% of total operating
funds will corse from in-
dividual and corporate
donations. '
For more than 73 years,
Easter Seals has helped
children who have physical
disabilities realize their
maximum potential and

Librarian
Of The
Year
Annetta Protain became
the 1995 recipient of the On-
tario College and Universi-
ty Library Association
Merit Award at the
association's luncheon on
Sat. Jan. 14. The award
recognizes a member who
has made an outstanding
contribution to the profes-
sion in Ontario.
Protain was honoured for
her work on the associa-
tion's committees, her
former OCULA presiden-
cy, and her contributions at
college and university
library development. She is
presently the director of
the Bibliocentre at Centen-
nial College in Scar-
borough. The Bibliocentre
provides centralized com-
puting and precessing ser-
vices for library materials
purchased by Ontario's 25
community colleges.
"I am constantly amazed
at the pace of change tak-
ing place in information
technology," says Protain,
who has worked as a
librarian and director at
Centennial since 1976. "It
may be a cliche, but we tru-
ly are becoming an
information -based society -
and librarians know that
better than anyone."
Protain has been involv-
ed intensively in informa-
tion technology projects at
the college, such as
establishing multimedia
computing labs. She holds
a Bachelor of Arts from the
University of New -
Brunswick. a masters of
Library Science and a
Masters of Education from
the University of Toronto.
Protain was joined at the
presentation by her
daughter and son-in-law.
Learn
To Garden
Do you think of garden-
ing as mowing your lawn,
planting impatiens or
petunias in theeing and
bulbs in the fall.
If so, you have not yet
discovered the true
pleasure of one of the
fastest growing hobbies in
North America.
Let the Civic Garden
Centre at Edwards
Gardens enlighten you.
Courses, seminars and
tours are offered all year
round in gardening, hor-
ticulture and related arts.
Here are some of the
courses' subjects for this
spring: Rhododendrons,
Perennials, Water
Gardens, Hanging
Planters, Country Garden-
ing, Plants for Shade, and
Garden Renovating. In ad-
dition, there is Flower Ar-
ranging Japanese style
(Sogetsu and Ikebana) as
well as Watercolour Land-
scape Painting, Limestone
Carving and Basketry.
The Civic Garden Centre
is located in Edwards
Gardens at Lawrence and

about it. In 1994 par-
ticipants in the 30 Hour
Famine raised over $2
million.
What happens during the
30 Hour Famine? For 30
hours participants go
hungry to identify with
hungry people around the
world. They hold discus-
sions and watch videos to
learn about the issues
behind poverty. They also
collect donations from
family members, friends,
neighbours or anyone else
willing to help feed, clothe,
educate and provide
medical care for needy
children overseas.
Where does the money
go? The 30 Hour Famine
provides funds for relief,
rehabilitation and develop-
ment in Third World coun-
tries. For example, in
Bangladesh the 30 Hour
Famine is helping to lower
the child mortality rate
through immunization and
health training{ and by sink-
ing wells to provide
families with safe drinking
water. Not only do the
funds assist emergency
relief projects such as in
Rwanda but long term solu-
tions are being undertaken
through agricultural and
reforestation projects.
Africa is not the only con-
tinent in need. The 30 Hour
Famine also supports work
in Asia and Latin America.
In Brazil, for example.
where every one in eight
children live in the street,
World Vision works to meet
the needs of street kids.
The funds also help meet
the needs of street kids in
Canada through programs
in Calgary, Vancouver and
Hamilton, Ontario.
Who participates?
Almost anyone can par-
ticipate. Schools, youth
groups, churches and
businesses have all par-
ticipated in the past. Some
people participate in-
dividually.
How long has this been
going on? The annual event
started in 1972 with a Cana-
dian group. The idea has
caught on throughout
World Vision organizations
in Great Britain, Hong
Kong, Southern Africa,
Japan, Singapore, Ger-
many, the United States
and Australia. Countries
that have traditionally
received aid are now doing
the 30 Hour Famine such as
Bangladesh, India, In-
donesia, Korea and Laos.
In 1994 more than 900,000
people participated in the
program raising more than
$29 million.
World Vision Canada is
an international Christian
humanitarian relief and
development agency with
over 5,000 ongoing develop-
ment projects in 100 coun-
tries.

Call For Historical Information On
Sproat/Martin House In Milton
The Halton Region
Museum Feasibility Study
Steering Committee
(HRMFSSC) is requesting
historical information from
the public on the history of
the Sproat ; Martin House,
located at 191 Margaret St.
in Milton, and the
associated Livingston Park
and Mill Pond areas.
Historical research on
'the site is being conducted
by the committee as part of
its study of the feasibility of
relocating the Halton
Region Museum to Milton's
historic Sproat Martin
House. Any documents or
photographs offered for in-
formation will be returned
to their owners.
The 20 member volunteer
committee, appointed by
Halton Region and Milton
Councils, includes a Halton
Region councillor, a Town
of Milton councillor, area
residents, business and
heritage representatives.
Town of '.Milton staff and
Halton Region Museum
staff. Its mandate includes
obtaining public input on
the project, examining all
related issues and making
recommendations to
Halton and Milton Coun-
cils. Regional Council has
approved $20.000 to com-
plete the study process.
The Sproat Martin
House overlooks the scenic
Mill Pond in downtown
Milton. It is owned by the
Town of Milton. The Halton
region Museum is current-
ly located in Kelso C,oaser-
vation Area.
In 1988. Halton Region
( which operates the Halton
Region Museum) approved
a feasibility study which
nco nnnended that, ..due to
the inadequacy of the cur-
rent leased buildings and
deficiencies of the current
site, a new facility should
be built on a new site." In
1994, plans to relocate the
museum across from the
region's Hwy. 25 landfill
site were permanently
shelved due to the pro-
jected high costs. The quest
for a new regional museum
home has continued with
the study currently under -
way. The Sproat. Martin
House location features an
historically documented
building situated on
parkland, located in the
centre of Halton Region.

inevitable task of spring ��'
cleaning. But in today's Q

working together to protect
Canada's environment. Over
1400 products bear this
symbol and are conveniently
available in department,
hardware, and some grocery
stores across the country.
While we have the best in-
tentions to get our homes in
tip-top shape for the warmer
months, we may not realize
that many of the products
used in spring cleaning and
renovation activities can be
harmful to the health of our
families and pets, as well as
to the environment.
Choosing an EcoLogo-
approved, water-based paint
is one way to minimize
potential adverse health ef-
fects of paint fumes. Re-
duced -pollution paint carry-
ing the EcoLogo produces
much lower levels of toxins
than traditional paints,
which have high levels of sol-
vents known as volatile
organic compounds (VOCs).
In the presence of sunlight
VOCs can react with nitro-
gen oxides to produce harm-
ful "photochemical smog"
in the Earth's lower atmo-
sphere.
Spring is also an ideal
time to award yourself the
"green" seal of approval by
opting for an EcoLogo
driveway sealer. As
temperatures rise, many
Canadians like to refresh
their cracked and damaged
driveways with new pave-
ment and a top coat of pro-
tective sealer. Unfortunately,
many sealers are tar -based
which, when applied,
release significant levels of
VOCs into the atmosphere
and can cause eye, nose and
throat irritations. EcoLogo-
approved sealer, however, is
guaranteed to contain only
minimal levels of VOCs,
and does not contain com-
pounds of lead, cadmium, or
other dangerous additives.
The onset of warmer
weather makes spring a
popular time to open up
walls and ceilings to ensure
homes are properly insu-
lated. Insulation will not
only keep your home warm
in the winter, but also awl in
the summer. Insulation that
bears the EcoLogo is made
from at least 35 percent of
recveled materials — such
as clear and coloured bottle
glass collected from con-
sumer blue boxes. Proper
insulation will save you
money on power bills and
save energy — one of the
best things you can do for
your pocketbook and the
environment.
Canada's Environmental
Choice Program has helped
take the guesswork out of
protecting our environment
— the EcoLogo is your as-
surance that you are making
an environmentally sound
choice. In fact, products and
services may only be
certified to feature the
EcoLogo if they are made or
offered in a way that
improves energy -efficiency,
reduce,, hazardous by-pnxiucv�
uses recycled materials, or
because the product itself
can be reused.
To find out more informa-
tion about the Environ-
mental Choice Program, the
EcoLogo, and where to buy
the many products it
licenses, consumers can call
(613) 9522-9440. In addition,
those consumers with access
to a fax machine can now
use the ECP's new EcoFax
system, an automated faxing
service. This user-friendly
service can be reached
quickly and easily by phon-
ing (ti19) 997-3584 and
following the simple -to -use
instructions.
Ultimately, buying
EcoLogo-certified spring
clean-up products and
materials means good news
for both homeowners and
the environment. Look for it
this spring, because these
days, green isn't just about
grass — it's about doing
your part to help protect
Canada's environment.

Glenn Gould: The Music of Solitude
By James Marsh
On April 10, 1964 the brilliant
Canadian pianist Glenn Gould
performed a concert in Los
Angeles, California. His appear-
ance on stage was spellbinding.
He swayed as if in a trance,
hummed along out of tune and
conducted an imaginary orchestra
with one hand. He played pieces
by Johann Sebastian Bach, with
"poetry and elegance" one critic
wrote. Indeed, Gould was
acknowledged as the supreme
master of Bach's music. At the
end, he hung his head, exhausted.
No-one present except Gould
himself knew that this was the
last time one of the greatest
pianists of the century would play
in public. tie was only 32 years
old.
Gould began his concert career
in Toronto at the age of 14. After
his debut in Washington,
Columbia Records signed him
immediately to a contract, the
first time they ever signed an
unknown musician. His recording
of a little-known piece by Bach,
the Goldberg Variations, became
one of the most famous record-
ings of all time.
Gould was
couldn't sleep and he dreaded air-
planes. Above all. he hated the
concert stage itself. He compared
a concert to a bullfight, with the
audience out for blood. "A per-
formance is not a contest" he
said, "but a love
affair." He

invited to Mos-
cow -- the first Western pianist to
be so honoured in 50 years -- to
Berlin, Vienna and a hundred
other places. He played with the
greatest orchestras and conduc-
tors. On hearing him play, a
Russian conductor was stunned.
"It cannot be" he said.
But Gould hated traveling. He
Gould quit
the concert stage altogether after
Los Angeles. For one of the cen-
tury's greatest musicians to sim-
ply quit the concert stage had
never happened before in the his-
tory of music. But Gould be-
lieved that concerts were a thing
of the past, that only through
recordings could he communicate

truly with his audience.
Gould dedicated the rest of his
life to recording, writing and
composing. His wit and intelli-
gence made him a star on radio
and television. But Gould retired
in his personal life too, into what
he called "a deep freeze', to find
a solitude that would bring him a
deeper knowledge of himself and
of his music.
In 1981 Gould recorded Bach's
Goldberg Variations a second
time and announced that he
would retire from recording as
well. A few months later, at the
age of 50,;c died.
Today Gould is as famous as
he was during his concert days,
perhaps more so. His many
recordings sell all over the world.
Films, articles and books analyse
his playing and his life and
debate his controversial decision
to give up the concert stage.

Bill Watt's Worlds
ON YOUR TOES:
The National Ballet has
added Jiri Kylian's
Soldiers' Mass to its reper-
toire. It's set to the music
of Martinu's Polni Mse, one
of the more emotionally
demanding contemporary
vocalizations of the horrors
of war. And, mirabile dic-
tu, it's filled with melodic
and rhythmic lines that
would seem to cry out for
expression in dance.
Regrettably, it does not
receive it from the
choreography of Mr.
Kylian.
What the audience hears
off stage in this production
is a wonderful baritone
soloist, Kenneth McMillan
with the Canadian Opera
Chorus singing in manner
so dramatic as to heat the
blood.
What it sees are 12 splen-
did men dressed in pseudo
service fatigues going
through a series of physical
movements that, while ad-
mirable in execution,
mnean little in terms of
emotional impact.
The necessary yin and
yang is not here. Vocally,
Soldiers' Mass is im-
pressive. Visually, it's
dramatic. In toto it's effec-
tive theatre but less than
thrilling ballet.
Soldiers' Mass was
preceded by John
Neumeier's Now and Then
which might better be titl-
ed Ho and Hum. Here, too,
are marvellous strength
moves, to the music of
Ravel's Piano Concerto in
G Major, which do little ex-
cept draw admiration for
the skill of the dancers.
Graeme Mears, clad in a
thirties type bathing suit, is
a literal tower of strength
in his lifts with Karen Kain.
Jeremy Ransom garbed in
what appears to be a set of
Stanfields manages his
usual elegance partnered
with the sublime Margaret
Illmann.
That's about it though.
For the most part, the au-
dience endures 14 dancers
assigned spastic, cut and
thrust movements counter-
pointed by Benny Hill
salutes, the significance of
which, if any - have com-
pletely missed this
observer who willingly
risks charges of
philistinism in so saying.
The evening had begun
with The Kingdom of the
Shades which is Act Two of
La Bayadtre. Presumably
it was intended as an
aperitif but it served to be
considerably more.

danced by the gentleman,
Solar looks and is indeed,
the husky embodiment of a
warrior. Yet, he conveys
the longing of a true man

it.
He finds it in the person
of Kimberley Glasco and

He also finds it, as does

Representing The Na-
tional this year will be
Jaimee Tapper and Johan
Persson. They will perform
the grand pas de deux from
Le Corsaire and the
balcony scene from
Cranko's Romeo and
Juliet.
The former is a thrilling
piece that still conjures up
-memory of the NBOC's
Peter Schaufuss and
Vanessa Harwood in their
prime. The latter was most
recently danced by Robert
Tewsley and Margaret Il-
Imann. We're still in thrall
over their performance.
If Miss Tapper and Mr.
Persson can come close to
the performances of those
distinguished
predecessors, then the
grand prize is a shoe in for
The National. A ballet shoe
in.
ON STAGE ONE:
The year is still young
but the best play to appear
locally so far is Maureen
Hunter's Transit of Venus
now in presentation at the
St. Lawrence Centre. It's
literate and entertaining
which, when you think of it.
is the highest accolade than
can be given to a play.
Transit is based on the
real life experiences of
Guillaume (nous aimons le
nom ) Le Gentil de la
Galaisibre. He was the
astronomer and probably
guiding force behind early
attempts to observe the
transit of the planet Venus
and concomittantly
measure the distance bet-
ween Earth and the Sun. In
the spirit of the times (he
lived from 1725 to 1792 ) he
spent a virtual lifetime
awav from his home in
single minded pursuit of
the accomplishment.
The play deals with his
compulsion and its effect
upon the three women he
left behind. They are his
mother, his
housekeeper mistress and
her daughter for whom he
professes love. ( He's
French after all). Readers
will by now have noted
some similarity to Anthony.
Adverse with perhaps a
hint of Henry Higgins
and or Marco Polo as well.
Transit appears initially
to be the sort of epic nar-
rative that used to be writ-
ten before motion pictures
and television; a narrative
of ambition unfilled and
love too long denied. In-
deed, some will perceive it
as little more. Others will
realize its masterful
delineation of character
changes through time and
circumstances.
Andrew Gillies is Le
Gentil. One sees him first
as a dashing man of
science and adventure.
Decades later he is still fill-
ed with burning ambition
but only to serve his burn-
ing love for a woman and to
salvage his wasted life. Mr.
Gillies' characterization
wavers between bold and
twittish, selfish and
dedicated. A well honed
performance.
Janet -Laine Green is
steady as the
housekeeper, mistress who
has banked her fires of pas-
sion and Joan Orenstein is
a perfect acerbically loving
mother to the Higgins por-
tion of her son. A nicely
subdued performance is
given by Duncan 011eren-

If you are tired of

an increasing number of
challenging, off -beat, and

general public as well as
for adult students.
The range of subjects of-

ment facility in Scar-

solidate the plant's opera-
tions and close the facility.

cent step in the strategic
rationalization of resources
necessary due to over
capacity created by the ac-

Cutler -Hammer Canada.
Employees will be offered

The Senior Boys'
SCRUMPTIOUS SNACK
DARES TO BE DELICIOUS
Have you ever taken a dare?
Well. I must admit that as a child
I often did. In fact. it became an
ongoing game between me and my
sister. each trying to out do the
other with silly challenges, all in
fun of course, but a challenge just
the same. Corking back. I remem-
ber the exhilaration of achieving
something 1 would not normally
ever dream of doing and realize
that it was facing these little
"dares" that helped me overcome
my fear of "trying-.
Every da% we all face challenges
and we're always somehow better
for it when we dare to meet them
head on. One of the biggest chal-
lenges we all face cc cn day is
dict. -how to balance it ... how to
make it healthier... how to make it
interesting. And for those: who dare
to meet this challenge. there arc
some delicious rewards.
Bi, now. even one knows that a
sensible. heart -smart diet is one
that places the emphasis on lower-
ing fat intake as well as lowering
the calories consumed. Man of
today's best programs suggest that
eating three well-balanced meals
featurine foods that are low-fat and
with Lice O'Krim
high in fibre, supplcmcn:ed by a
strategicalh placed "snack" is the
best way to beat diet boredom. And
when it comes to snack time, I've
found a delicious little treat ... Brc-
ton Light Crackers.

ha%e ever% single bit of that
sumptuous whole wheat flavour
real cracker lovers long for.
Teamed up with soup, they make
for a great light lunch. And at
snack time, Breton Light Crackers
with a slice of low fat cheese and
AT
a crunchy "boss" pear are really up
;o the challenge.
Since February is Heart Month,
I've found a snack dessert recipe
that is light, low fat and above
all ... really "Dares to be Delicious".

terrific and are made with Breton
Light Crackers mixed right into the
batter for a bit of extra goodness.

Celebrating February
Lester B. Pearson CI News
OUR FLAG
by D. Anderson
Thirty years ago on Wed.
Feb. 15th the single red
maple leaf, on a white
background, bordered by
two seas of red became
Canada's national flag.
There was bitter debate
in parliament. Some
wanted to retain the British
Union Jack or at least parts
of it to signify our British
heritage. Others wanted a
unique flag, distinctively
Canadian, with no trace of
anything British.
In the end, in a truly
democratic process in
which both sides of the
issue were debated in
parliament our current
flag was chosen.
The red maple leaf has
become a symbol of
fairness, tolerance, good
sportsmanship and equali-
ty throughout the world,
wherever Canadian
athletes, Canadian
peacekeepers or just plain
tourists travel.
Interestingly enough the
flag that was adopted was a
compromise flag and the
Prime Minister who guided
it through Parliament was
none other than Lester B.
Pearson.
A happy 30th birthday to
Canada's flag.
"CHO)LREACH LEAGUE
The Semester I1
Schoolreach League is
about to begin. All that is
needed are play' if you
are familiar with
Schoolreach then you
already know what a fun
time can be had. If you do
not know what Schoolreach
is. then think of quiz shows
like Jeopardy on TV or the
Basketball Team, the
Falcons, stole the hearts of
Borden and bested Sir
Oliver Mowat Collegiate 66
to 51 on Valentine's Day.
Playoff hopes are alive and
well.
Curtis Stewart had an
awesome rebounding and
defensive game, while
Sheldon Lvte led the offense
with 26 points. Other top
players were Tommy
Thompson and Norman
Lee.
Congratulations to the
junior boys' basketball
team which played a
strong. but challenging
game on Feb. 13 against
MacDonald Collegiate,
losing t17-57.
Defense was led by Jason
Knights, who stood up to
Mac's offense and took 3
charges. Offense was led by
David Charles with 20
points, Anthony Perry, 8,
and Warren Fletcher with 7.
Chrystal Bryan, Head of
Girls Physical Education,

meeting was held in room
237 last Thursday to set up
teams. Game days will be
Thursdays from 3:30 to
4:15 or so. You will be plac-
ed one one of the six teams

friend they will try to have
both of you on the same
team.
NOTABLE AFRICAN
CANADIANS
Let's take a minute and
look back on the far
reaching contributions of
notable African Canadains.
Elijah McCoy was a
mechanical engineer born
in Colchester, Ontario. He
invented a self-lubricating
device for steam engines.
Mary Ann Shadd was the
first woman in North
America to publish and edit
a newspaper, "The Provin-
cial Freeman".
Mifflin Gibbs was elected
to city council in 1866 and
played a role in encourag-
ing B.C. to become part of
Canada in 1871.
One of the best things
about Black History Month
in Canada is that it brings
black professionals into
schools for lectures and
presentations - tangible
evidence to black youths of
what they can achieve.
Pearson held its own
fonun on Wed. Fed. 15.
WRITERS' CLUB
The Writers' Club held its
fust meeting on Wed. Feb.

SPORTS
BASKETBALL
Congratulations to the
senior boys' basketball
team for their outstanding
effort in winning the Wex-
ford Invitational Basket-

weekend.
After a weak start in the
championship game the
team found themselves
down 10 points after the
first quarter. They were
down 14 at the half and
down 17 at the end of the
third quarter.
Showing a tremendous
amount of heart and desire,
the team rallied in the
