Westmount Examiner Thursday, April 1, 1999 - 3 Roberts finally revealed in major retrospective MMEFA show honours quiet Westmounter's career BY WAYNE LARSEN __ His paintings hang alongside those of the Group of Seven and other titans of Canadian art in galleries across the country, but somehow the late Goodridge Roberts has been largely overlooked when curators have mounted large travelling exhibitions.Until now, that is.Today's opening of \u2018Goodridge Roberts Revealed\u2019 at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts marks not only the first major retrospective of the legendary painter\u2019s career in 30 years, but also the first homecoming for over 100 of the shy Westmounter\u2019s works since his death in 1974.Many of the paintings in this exhibition have been borrowed from private collections, which means that although some have appeared in various publications, most have never been seen by the public.Generally acknowledged as one of Canada\u2019s most important artists, Roberts 1s known primarily for paying equal attention to traditional painting\u2019s three main disci- plines\u2014landscape, portraiture and still life.He was unflagging in his devotion to them all, and this is reflected in the images chosen to represent his life\u2019s work.\u201cIn his mind there was no hierarchy among the three, nothing to suggest that one was more important to him than another,\u201d said curator Prof.Sandra Paikowsky, who has written extensively about Roberts over the years and whose book \u2018Goodridge Roberts 1904-1974\" serves as an in-depth catalogue to the current show.Paikowski spent two years putting the exhibition together, outside of her duties teaching art history at Concordia University.\u201cIt was a lot of work but a lot of fun,\u201d she said of tracking down and gathering works from both public and private collections across Canada.Several of these works have been lent by the artist's widow, Joan Carter Roberts, who still lives in Westmount and is pleased by the nation-wide attention the show has brought her husband.And despite his reputation as a shy man, it seems Roberts himself would have been gratified by this homage to his life's work.\u201cGoodridge was always happy to receive any appreciation that came his way,\u201d said Joan Roberts shortly after an advance viewing of the exhibition last week.\u201cI think this show would have really pleased him.\u201d Paikowsky pointed out that part of Roberts\u2019s creative legacy was his individuality.\u201cOne thing I find extremely fascinating about him is that, unlike the majority of painters of any stripe, he never worked from his imagination,\u201d she said.\u201cHe always used a model or worked directly from the landscape.\u201d This individuality was also reflected in his unconventional method for working.While most painters tend to fuss over a canvas, repeatedly going back and reworking it until completely satisfied, Roberts had a confidence in his own ability that allowed him to complete the vast majority of his paintings in a single sitting.\u201cHe would abandon something if he felt it was hopeless,\u201d Joan Roberts remembered.\u201cBut he almost never went back to a painting\u2014 certainly not at all with a landscape or still life\u2014but sometimes with a figure he might have worked on it a second time with the model.But that was not his usual habit.\u201d The resulting sense of spontaneity is readily apparent throughout his body of work, which is characterized by strong, broad brushstrokes rather than an obsession with minute details.For Roberts, the palette and the composition were everything.\u201cEven though he was considered conservative by abstract painters here, his way of making an image was very similar to that of the Automatistes,\u201d Paikowsky said.\u201cHe addressed the canvas directly, never used any preliminary drawings or studies.Most paintings were done in a single, continuous time frame and when they were finished.they were finished.That has a lot to do with the process of Automatiste painting in Montreal, but his way of coming up with an image to paint was totally different from the Automatistes or any other form of abstract painting.\u201d Born in Barbados to a prominent literary family (poet Sir Charles G.D.Roberts was his uncle), William Goodridge Roberts grew up in Europe and Fredericton, New Brunswick.He came to Montreal as a young man to study at the Ecole des Beaux- Arts, and would eventually support himself by teaching at the Montreal Museum's School of Art and Design.He travelled extensively, and in 1943 he left for England, where he spent 14 months working as a war artist for the Canadian government.Roberts and second wife Joan moved into Westmount in 1956, renting a house on Grosvenor Avenue, just above Sherbrooke.After a brief stint at the University of New Brunswick, where Roberts was artist in residence, the couple returned in 1960 to a home on Lansdowne Avenue.\u201cIt was the first house we'd owned)\u201d Joan Roberts said.\u201cWe bought it before the invitation came to go to New Brunswick, so we rented it for the year we were gone and only moved in when we came back.\u201d Roberts would remain at the Lansdowne address for the last 14 years of his life.\u201cHe was always confident as a pater.\u201d Paikowsky said.\u201cBut because he was so quiet and elegant -a gentle man\u2014it nd the fact that he was very confident about his own work from the very beginning.He never expressed that publicly, but ut was quite well known among the people who knew him best.\u201d \u201cCioodridge was a shy guy, very retiring,\u201d agreed Westmount artist and architect Harry Mayerovitch, whose close Goodridge Roberts's 1957 still life \u2018Studio Window in Winter\u2019 (Joan Roberts Collection), hi ; te + bac which offers a glimpse of Grosvenor Avenue, is one of more than 100 works now at the MMFA.friendship with Roberts dates back to the 1930s.\u201cHe was a person | admired very much.He had a very original mind and à poetic, lyrical attitude toward painting-\u2014a great combination of a poetic personality and a disciplined mind.He had a controlled sense of colour; every brushstroke of his was very consciously put down.\u201d But Mayerovitch also remembers a darker side that marred the end of Roberts's career.\u201cIn the latter years he had a sad life-\u2014 he wasn\u2019t able to paint,\u201d he said.\u201c1 used to see him walking along the street aimlessly at times.It was sad because this guy was a greal, great talent and 1t was a pity to see it fizz out at the end.Some of his stuf\u2019 is very haunting because it had a melancholy quality, and | suppose that was an expression of part of his personality\u2014although he could be very funny at times and he did some interesting little cartoons in his spare time.\u201d \u201cIn his quiet but inexorable affirmation of the enduring qualities of persons and of things, Goodridge Roberts's paintings are to be cherished as silent sermons for a world thrashing about in sensationalism and superficiality,\u201d Mayerovitch wrote in his friend\u2019s Examiner obituary in January, 1974, \u201cHis tragedy was that, in spite of the devotion of his family and his friends, he was unable to find for himself the serenity, the certainty that he was able so eloquently to transmit to us.\u201d Currently on a cross-country tour, \u2018Goodridge Roberts Revealed\u2019 hus been organized by the McMichael Canadian Art Collection under the sponsorship of the Investors Group.It was originally intended for the MMFA's Benaiah Gibb Pavilion, but renovations have forced it into a smaller space across the street in the Jean-Noel Desmarais Pavilion, where it will remain, free to the public, through June 13.Sandra Paikowsky 5 book \u2018Goodridge Roberts 1904-1974\" (McMichael Canadian Art Collection) is available at the MMFA Bookstore.e The professional Team at your

Daughter\u2019s book reveals remarkable Delage By ALINE GUBBAY The never ending winter blues affecting you?Looking for ways that will lift your spint?Let me introduce you to a good companion who will cheer you up with an anecdote and restore your appetite for the good life.Meet Gérard Delage, \u2018Prince de !'humour et de la gastronomie.\u2019 Daughter Jocelyne's recent- ly-published account of her father\u2019s hfe sets out in loving detail a many-faceted career which encompassed the law, show business in theatre, radio and TV, and as an advisor on tourism, hotel and restaurant management and gastronomy.Throughout, it is his warmth and good humour that light up the scene.1 am struck by the broad sweep of his interests, the range of his friends and the ease with which he moved between the elements of Quebec society and beyond.Gérard Delage\u2019s childhood was spent in Nominingue, a small village but so strategically placed that, by water.it could reach the Great Lakes, James Bay and the St Lawrence.This openness to the larger view; the sense of connection with a world beyond his village, remamed a part of Delage\u2019 personality.His work was conducted primarily within the fran- cophonc community, yet he lived happily for over 50 years on Kensington Avenue in anglophone Westmount.He loved the province of Quebec with a passion; its rivers and forests, its villages and its traditions.Yet this passion did not conflict with or diminish his love of Canada.If he reserved for Quebec the preeminent role in \u2018the good life\u2019, he nevertheless helped pioneer clubs of gastronomy across the country and was cagcerly sought after as toastmaster at banquets from the Beaver The cover of the book by Jocelyne Delage.Club in Montreal to national hotel conventions and, as the official Canadian representative, on the international scene.His various careers complemented cach other.As an actor, reporter and writer he performed for 20 years on stage, radio and in the early years of television.But his legal background was also put to use during his term as president of the Union des Artistes, a position he held for 13 ycars\u2014the longest mandate ever accorded to one of its members.He was also legal advisor and administrator to \"Association des hoteliers de campagne, which was losing members and struggling to find its role in the industry.Delage took charge.He edited the trade publication, suggested codes of behaviour for every level of personne] from waiter to hotel manager and encouraged Quebec hoteliers to open up to the world beyond its borders.Over the years, honours poured mn.Forty-two restaurants guaranteed him a table for life.He was made a life member of the Bar and the Union des Artistes.À Club Gastronomique was created in his name.The north shore of the Richelieu, in recognition of all he had done to raise the profile of the area as a region of high-quahty cuisine, was named \u2018le chemin du Prince-sur- Richelieu\u2019 in honour of this \u2018Prince des gastonomes\u201d.On his retirement, the Fondation Gérard Delage was created \u2018to fortify friendship and the art of living'\u2014 aims Delage pursued all his life and which remain a fitting legacy of this remarkable personality.\u2018Gérard Delage, Prince de l'humour et de la gastronomie' by Jocelyne Delage (589 pp.) is published in French by editions graphein.Seven nominees By WAYNE LARSEN The Westmount Municipal Association (WMA) has received seven nominations for its second annual Citizen of the Year Award, which will be presented at the organization's general mecting later this spring.The WMA is pleased with the number of nominations received this year, as it represents an increase from last year\u2019s first-time competition, which was won by Grosvenor Avenue resident Sylvia Wedge.The deadline for nominations was March 15.\u201cWe're encouraged by the number of nominations,\u201d said WMA President Doug McDougall.\u201cBut we know that there are a lot of very good people that still have not been nominated.\u201d The seven candidates, whose names were put forward by fellow residents for their outstanding work within for WMA award the Westmount community, are currently being judged by a panel comprised of members of the WMA executive.The winner will receive a certificate from the WMA and have their name engraved on a plaque that will be permanently displayed at Victoria Hall.Although only seven nominations in a city of 20,000 people may scem low, WMA director Bridget Blackader said that such an endeavour will probably take some time before it catches on in a big way.\u201cThis whole exercise grows a bit cach year, and we hope it will continue to grow in prestige,\u201d she said of the award.\u201cWe hope that over time the Citizen of the Year will have significant meaning in Westmount.\u201d The date of the WMA's annual general meeting has not been finalized, nor has the association confirmed who will be guest speaker at the cvent.These arc expected to be announced within the next few weeks.INTERNET http://www.mls.ca Thursday, April 1, 1999 - 5 Kathryn Osborne DUSKCN DUNE IIE UI ING SER DESIGNER FABRICS AT DISCOUNT

Westmounters Some lucky Westmounters were treated to a wonderful evening on Tuesday as four deceased Westmounters were honoured for their contribution to society.Indeed, the four\u2014Donald Gordon, Colin John (Jack) Grasset, Samuel Steinberg and John Young\u2014enriched our city, Quebec, Canada and the world with their achievements in everything from banking to art and philanthropy.Listening to the presentations, 1 reflected on the profound influence people like these have on a community.During the past 125 years, visionary people have helped build Westmount into a very prestigious place, whose name is synonomous with wealth and the cultured and educated of Montreal society.This reputation takes a long time to build and it is something for which everyone in Westmount can be proud.Now, the threat of a merger with several other cities threatens to erase Westmount as we know it.This plan is the brainchild of Quebec's commission on reforming municipal finances, which is rumoured to be recommending next Tuesday that Montreal merge with Côte St.Luc, Hampstead, Outremont, Town of Mount Royal, Verdun and Westmount.It\u2019s quite clear who is getting the royal shaft in this deal.We could have a long discussion about the disproportionate taxes- to-services-provided reality that will occur, or we could debate the logic of dismantling smaller cities in order to create a much larger bureaucracy that will leave all concerned very ill served.Imagine: you could wait a week to have your street cleaned like the people in NDG\u2014 what progress.Surely the citizens of Westmount deserve better than what Montreal fails to offer its residents.Because of the rising cost of services, Hampstead and Montreal West joining Cote St.Luc makes some sense; these two towns have less than 10,000 people and Hampstead has virtually no commercial tax base, and the citizens there would be much better served if they had access to Côte St.Luc's library.Soon, these two towns will have no choice but to raise their tax rates to very high levels to have enough revenue to pay their expenses.In fact, they already share the cost of several services.Verdun is subsidized by tax dollars from wealthy Nun's Islanders, many of whom have been complaining about this uneven union which sees them give plenty to the less affluent City of Verdun.Westmount is an anomaly: a relatively small city that is well administered, regularly produces a healthy budget surplus and has a sterling reputation nationwide.Its library, pool and parks are the envy of everyone on the island (ask the people from Tradau Inc.about that) and it\u2019s filled with some of the best and brightest citizens in Canada in every possible field of endeavour.It is unconscionable that some bureaucrats from Quebec City would suggest that this city should fold into Montreal to help create a mega-city like Toronto?For all those who know Toronto, the sprawling facelessness of that loathsome place is a testament to everything that goes wrong when a city gets too big\u2014 lots of bureaucracy, little neighbourhood charm and an endless desert of strip malls.A friend of mine calls it Missaronto.I urge all Westmounters to call the Louise Harel, Quebec\u2019s Minister of Municipal Affairs, and voice their opinion on this matter.She can be reached at (514) 873-2622.The price of freedom is constant vigilance, the saying goes, and Westmount should be free to operate in the respected, efficient manner it has for 125 years.The only way it will stay that way 1s by making sure those short-sighted bureaucrats in Quebec City hear loud opposition to their misguided ideas.\u2014Leonard J Gervais AMALGAMATION CHOCOLATES You NEvER KNOW WHAT You's Bond GET sce Nunavut: A new chapter in the building I$ Le A Box OF of Canada\u2019s history begins today Today, April 1st, 1999, is a very important day in Canadian history: the map of Canada is changing for the first time in 50 years.We are celebrating the establishment of Nunavut, Canada\u2019s newest territory.Nunavut, or \u2018Our Land\u2019 in the Inuit language of Inuktitut, is larger than Newfoundland, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Quebec combined.This vast tern- tory encompasses approximately 2 million square kilometres, and is equal to roughly one-fifth of Canada\u2019s total landmass.The new territory of Nunavut is made up of central and eastern portions of what 1s now the Northwest Territories with Igaluit (population 3,600) as its capital.The remaining western region of the territories will continue to be known as the Northwest Territories.Through their new territorial government, the pcople of Nunavut are taking direct control over education, health and social | services, with the help of transfer payments from the Government of Canada.The new government has the powers like those of the existing territorial governments, with an elected legislative assembly, a cabinet and a territorial court.The government of Nunavut is highly decentralized in order to respond to the needs of the 28 communities that make up the new territory and bring a distinctive voice to national policy-making.It will also help make Canadians more aware of daily life in the North - including the challenges posed by geography and climate, and the cconomic potential of mining, tourism, construction, Inuit foods, arts, and culture.Since Inuit make up approximately 85 per cent of the population of Nunavut, Inuktitut will be a working language of the government, although government services will also be offered in English and French.Inuit will staff a majority of jobs in the territory\u2019s public service.The creation of this new territory and government, the result of the largest land claim settlement in Canada\u2019s history, follows years of negotiations between the Government of Canada and the Tungavik Federation of Nunavut, which represented the Inuit of the eastern arctic.Nunavut is a significant step in the ongoing process of building Canada, and demonstrates the flexibility of the Canadian federation to respect and foster diversity.All Canadians can take pride in the birth of this new territory, and the peaceful and democratic means by which it was realized.The Canadian government is pleased that it was able to work with Inuit to achieve this important milestone in our shared history, and looks forward to a long and prosperous partnership.Note: As you read these lines, ] am currently in China, taking part in a ministerial mission.During my stay in China, | will be

wind and the flourish of a wooden staff over waters below, Moses parted the Red Sea and the Hebrews were led to freedom from the bondage of slavery.This exodus from Egypt has defined the Jewish people.Every spring for thousands of years, they have recharged their spiritual batteries during the remarkable holiday of Passover.They've cleaned their homes and their psyches, deflated their bread and their @:= and reconnected with their people and the rhythm of the seasons.The first Passover celebration was held the last night the Hebrews spent as Pharaoh\u2019s slaves.At sunset, each family slaughtered a lamb and used the blood to mark the doorposts of their house.The meat was to be roasted and served with matzoh (unleavened bread) and marror (bitter herbs).That might\u2019s ritual became the annual cycle of the Jewish year.Families have been reliving it and transmitting the values to their children with the cternal hope of ultimate redemption of all mankind.This message of universal freedom was a call to all oppressed nations, especially the Jewish people.The celebration begins on the first full moon of spring, the 15 of Nisan in the Jewish calendar.The corresponding date in the secular calendar varies from year to year.Orthodox and Conservative Jews celebrate for cight days, and Reform and Israeli Jews observe for seven days.Dietary restrictions such as leavened foods arc removed and dishes and utensils arc changed.A general \u2018kashering\u2019 procedure can be performed to remove whatever has been absorbed in the utensils that are used throughout the year.Jews of different origins (European, North African and Asian) all have their own rituals and traditional Passover dishes.In the Old Country, the whole year revolved around Passover from the growing of the wheat to the baking of the matzoh.Today, all this is done commercially and is taken for granted.Almost everything can be purchased, but at a high price.The Passover food business has become a successful Spending ignores most important elements of health care To the editor: Quebec's health spending estimate for 1999-2000 is worrisome.Whereas Health will spend 3.3 per cent more than last year, the Executive Council, Finance, Treasury board and International Relations will each spend respectively 36.2 per cent, 28.3 per cent, 24.8 per cent and 3.9 per cent more.In Health, the lion\u2019s share of the increase will go to wiping out existing hospital debts brought about by our government's own health reform.Health administration and departmental management will receive an additional $3.1 million.Whereas the health insurance board will receive an extra one per cent for administration, this year it will spend less on drugs, dental and eye-care.This year\u2019s spending estimates are illogical.First, paying off our hospitals\u2019 debts without repairing the deficencies that entrepreneurial venture.Are we encountering exploitation of the Jewish consumer?Refusal to comply with the exorbitant prices of products have insinuated some resentment and rejection of the holiday.Many Jews feel that the true meaning of Passover has been replaced by a moneymaking proposition.The most familiar feature of Passover is the Seder (meaning order).Dr.Ron Wolfson, in his book \u2018The Art of Jewish Living\u2019, described the Seder as a \u2018talk feast\u2019.Here the opportunity arises to identify, empathize and connect with the ancestry of the Egyptian exile and experience liberation with them.Wolfson reiterated that this Seder around the table 1s a family-oriented, religious and educational occasion.Every good learning experience requires a manual or lesson plan.Accompanying the Seder, a book called a \u2018Hagaddah\u2019 is followed.As a collage of 4000 years of Jewish life, it contains all the texts and directions of the Passover Seder.In his book \u2018Keeping Passover\u2019.Ira Steingrot has commented, \u201cWhen we participate in the reading of the Hagaddah, we become heir to the resonant, multi-layered tradition of Jewish life and learning.\u201d Seder mights are magical.Rabbi Emanuel Forman at Shaar Hashomayim Synagogue has emphasized that this holiday has kept Jewish history alive.Women and Passover During the last 15 ycars or so, there has been a growing wave of energy among Jewish women moving toward the renewing and remaking of Jewish thought and practice.New paths of Jewish life affirm the constant process of rebirth.Judaism needed to grow and transform to meet the needs of both sexes today.With all that Passover indoctrinates about freedom, there are some very real contradictions concerning the female role.The creation of Passover in the home 1s performed by women.Grandmothers and mothers cannot untangle themselves from kitchen duties.Here we arc with the original liberation holiday, and female bondage caused them 1s like sump-pumping a flood without repairing its cause.It would only be a matter of time until the crippling debts reappear.Next, in order to wipe out Quebec's deficit one year earlier than expected, Bouchard\u2019s government has cut our health and social services to dangerously low levels, never before seen in Quebec.Instead of giving the biggest spending increases to front-line elements that provide the services (such as doctors, nurses, healthcare workers, paramedics, drug benefits, medical equipment, home-care services and hospitals), Bouchard has chosen to preferentially inflate Quebec's administration.Quebec is probably the most administered region in all of North America, and is certainly no better for it.Most Quebecers would agree that drastically cutting our administration would not cause us the least inconvenience, and might even result in our services running more smoothly! Our government, however, is not willing to tell us the full cost of Quebec's multiple layers of bureaucracy, (See MORE page 10) still exists.lronic, isn't it?But as in every endeavour, women are redefining their roles.There are women\u2019s Hagaddahs and female Seders, which offer women various ways in which the holiday can be more meaningful to them.On the weekend of March 13, a large female Seder was held in New York, with women anxious to explore their role in the Seder.Temple Emanu-El Beth Shalom in Westmount held it\u2019s first female Seder, called \u2018Minam\u2019 Seder\u2019, during which the contributions of women from Biblical times to the present were honoured.The springtime sensation, family renewal and celebration of her national existence are Concordia professor of religious studies Norma Joseph's sentiments about this yearly ritual.\u201c] love Passover, but it\u2019s exhausting,\u201d Joseph commented.\u201cLuckily, my Hebrew education has kept me actively included at the Seder table.\u201d Being bound solely to the kitchen docs not exist for her.Aside from more female and family involvement at Scders, additional modifications to this holiday arc ongoing.Keeping kosher is more of a possibility with the wide varicty of food products.Newly written Hagaddahs are morc family inclusive and the vibrant designs of Jewish artifacts contribute to a beautifully laid out Seder cvening.With all this updating, has the Passover holiday weakened in its imparting traditional rituals to future generations?Do human beings always opt for that casy way out?After all, this hohday\u2019s ntuals require cffort and time.Is Passover being passed-over?Alan M.Dershowitz, Harvard Law School professor and writer, discusses in \u2018The Vanishing American Jew\u2019, that \u201cJewish life is in the thros of disintegrating just at the time when Jews have achieved it all.\u201d Are the Jewish people ignoring the true Passover flavour?Arc the messages of redemption and freedom still being relayed?Rabbi Leigh Lerner of the Temple Emanu-El- Beth Sholom has scen only an ongoing strength of a holiday which is still very much alive in Jewish life.In most Jewish homes, the Passover ritual exists.It may be performed conscientiously, sloppily, rigidly or casually, but in some form it is still done.This ancient Jewish festival of unicavened bread is the oldest continuously performed ceremony in the world, and has always been my favourite.The complete disruption, chaos and the aromas of cooking and baking have strengthened our family umt.Cantorial and stoically led by my distinguished grandfather, | can recall being mesmerized by the historical chants that became life through the intensity of his voice.A lasting connection to the past occurred through his readings of the Hagaddah.As the evening drew to a close, we pushed our chairs away from the table and rose, hopeful for the future.Our imaginations were lifted and opened to rediscover the lost clements of wonder and pleasure.Passover had positively \u2018passed over\u2019 our family, leaving its lasting legacy of continuous survival for Jews everywhere.NISSAN TOYOTA More than 700 new and used vehicles ready to go!

EEE IT ES ME Ey & i wi G-d is incomplete without you What a strange night to be called Leil p Haseder (night of order).As the four questions # asked by the youngest child spell out\u2014On this f night we eat only matzah and leaven, On this night we all recline while eating, On this night L we recline not once but twice, On this night L we eat the bitter maror as opposed to a more f palatable choice of vegetable.To approach an understanding of this para- = doxical \u2018night of order\u2019, which seems to leave 8 any normal order behind, attention must be Ë paid to an inner pattern or refrain found in the Haggadah (our sages\u2019 guide book to the Seder night).An important, if subtle, theme of the Seder night is that many things come in fours.é entire night is structured around four cups of wine that arc drunk by each person present (as opposed to one, on Sabbath and festivals).The children notice and ask about ¢ four of the many strange things that go on at | the Seder table.Another group of four are the \u2018four children\u2019.Our sages categorize children into four: the Wise Child, the Evil Child, the ; Simpleton and the Child Who Knows Not How To Ask.Why categorize these into four?What is it about the number four that is so & basic, so fundamental to the Seder Night?G-d's four letter name Elsewhere in the Haggadah, we are taught % that it was not through an emissary, nor through any angel that the Jewish people were taken out of Egypt; it was only through G-d.In Hebrew, the name that is used here for G-d is spelled Yud-Hey-Vav-Hey\u2014four letters.These four letters can be pronounced in different ways to mean was, is or will be.G-d is the essence of being.This rhythmic and structural theme of four\u2014which emanates from the emphasis on G-d alone giving us existence and taking us out of Egypt, is there to teach us a deep message.To lack one child, or even a child's question, is to lack a letter of G-d's name.What can be painfully lacking in our lives is a sense of order, of harmony\u2014that each aspect of ourselves, of our communities, be in place.To leave our personal Egypts, to achieve a sensc of order or harmony, we must all be present and make space for others to be present.The Seder Night is a different order, true, because it is time for cach one of us to be part of that order.At the Seder table, no one child is more important than another, no one question less important than another.To each child at the Seder, and to ourselves, we say G-d is incomplete without you.Wishing you a Happy and Kosher Passover

WANAMAKER You've probably forgotten the details behind the Access to Information Commission inquiry which folded up its tent recently, its work unfinished.Let me refresh your memory.lt was sct it up to find out how and why confidential information about the tax-paying tardiness of Bloc Québécois MP Ghislain Lebel was transmitted from Revenue Quebec to Premier Bouchard's office to BQ offices in Ottawa.A preliminary investigation had revealed conflicting versions about how this happened\u2014 what inquiry lawyer Marc Bergeron called a \u2018bcauragoût\u2019 of contradictory testimony.At lcast two basic issues arc involved-\u2014unauthorized possession of confidential information and usc of such information for political purposes, that is, to get Lebel to pay his arrears to prevent a politically embarrassing lcak.When the inquiry opened a ycar ago, we heard tantalizing bits of testimony.For instance, the tax files of ordinary citizens are handled differently from those of politicians and other high-profile people whose files arc tagged | \u2018restricted circulation\u2019 and can be seen only by certain people.However, testimony showed a copy of Lebel\u2019s file was found in the filing cabinet in the offices of the minister.No one was able to explain how.We learned that a table of delinquent MPs, MNAs, and senators was prepared every year, and one senior revenue official testified that \u201crumour has it that certain files reach the minister\u2019s office in anticipation of news getting out.\u201d The chief of staff to former revenue minister Rita Dionne- Marsolais testified the minister's office expects to be informed before any legal steps are taken, and become public, involving any well- known public figure.A former assistant deputy minister, who worked for 17 different revenue ministers, said some ministers were given privileged information about the tax problems of politicians.Not all wanted names, he said, a sit was \u201ca very subjective process,\u201d and that it might be based on \u201cwhom one likes and doesn\u2019t like.\u201d Asked about restricted access to those files, he said: \u201cThere arc walls.But there arc always doors in those walls.\u201d Roger Bertrand, revenue minister at the time, denied having any knowledge of Lebel's case or ever having access to personal files.Somehow however, word was passed along\u2014 from someone in the minister\u2019 office to Charles Chevrette, then an advisor in Bouchard\u2019s office, to André Neron, then chief of staff to Bloc leader Michel Gauthier.Those key people never got to testify last spring, when the inquiry was first delayed by Liberal legal manœuvres.Nor will they be heard this spring, now that inquiry head Paul-André Comeau has shut things down.Strangely, it is the inquiry\u2019s own lawyer, Marc Bergeron, who is responsible.He suggested a conflict-of-inter- est on the part of Comeau because the commission had purchased documents for its archives from a conference organized by Raymond Doray, a lawyer representing Roger Bertrand at the inquiry.Fed up with all the legal shenanigans, Comeau decided he could no longer continue.This bizarre turn of events opened the door for Transport Minister Guy Chevrette to do some political spinning on behalf of his son, Charles.He released his deposition to the inquiry, and then claimed the inquiry\u2019s lawyer had concluded the QLLS AGADEMY gg 0) gd Mi (0108 OPEN HOUSE MONTH Parents and students wishing to tour the school and see the classrooms in action are invited to make an appointment to visit any

was a neat piece of news manipulation.But as earlier testimony already demonstrated, this was not the case.Nice try, M.Chevrette.As Jacques Parizeau liked to say: Those who talk, don\u2019t know.And those who know, don't talk.The truth is still out there somewhere.Now it\u2019s up to Premier Bouchard to decide if or how it will be brought out.The Expos Now let's talk baseball.Not just because I'm a baseball fan but because the survival of the Montreal Expos is as much a political issue as anything else.To date, the Bouchard government has been singularly snotty about the Expos.On budget day, when asked why no money was included for the Expos, Finance Minister Bernard Landry shot back: \u201cIf you look at how much money a first baseman makes and how much the first violinist at the Montreal Symphony makes, you have your answer\u201d No one, however, is asking taxpayers to pay salaries; the government is being asked to help build a ballpark to be used by the Expos as well as by the community, a ballpark in which This year's Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada (Quebec Division) Carnation Campaign will be held from May 6 to 9, on Mother's Day weekend.The provincial objective

Pierre Fortin and urban planner Sylvain Lefebvre last year showed, among other things, that to get daily North American exposure for Montreal, as the Expos bring, governments would have to spend millions of dollars.Opposition politicians have remained fairly quiet.However, in recent intervie» Action Démocratique leader MD Dumont and Liberal MNA Jacques Chagnon criticized the government for its failure to show any interest in the team\u2019s fate.\u201cThere's been a kind of general abandonment of the Expos by government which I don\u2019t like,\u201d Dumont said.\u201cThe issue is that the Expos create economic spin-off, visibility and jobs.It would be a huge loss.\u201d Dumont does not necessarily support direct public subsidy of the team, but he said the ownership\u2019s latest business proposals menit consid- cration.Chagnon, whose Westmount-St.Louis riding includes the proposed downtown site, agreed it is not the role of government to invest directly in professional sports.(See page 15) MSSC holding Carnation Campaign Campaign will be used to fund services for people with MS and research into MS, a disease for which there is still no known cause or cure.Some

13 Photo Doreen Lindsay NUTRITION Good nutrition is the basis of good health, including dental health.The key to good nutrition is to eat a balanced diet with foods from each of the major groups.Starches and sugars are notorious for causing tooth decay but that doesn't mean you should not eat them.Moderation and timing are important.Sugary treats are less likely to cause problems if you eat them with your meals.Then you have more saliva in your mouth to wash away the excess sugars.Everyone likes to snack, especially kids.Healthier snacks include fresh fruits and vegetables, nuts and seeds, crackers, milk, cheese and plain yogurt.Try to avoid cookies, cakes, candies and other sticky foods with sugar or starch, especially between meals.Sugar is used by the plaque on your teeth to from acids.Acids eat away at the tooth enamel causing decay.FLOSSING Let's face it, most people don't floss their teeth.This is a big problem because flossing is the only way to clean between your teeth and under your gumline.Flossing, along with brushing, should be done at least once every 24 hours.It may not be easy to develop good flossing habits.At first it may feel a little unnatural but stick with it, even if your gums bleed the first few times.Try flossing your teeth while you watch TV.It will keep you from getting bored and rushing through it.Take a piece of floss about the length of your forcarm.Slide the floss between the teeth and from a small section into a C-shape around the base of the tooth and slide it gently under the gumline.Then wipe away from the gum two or three times, concentrating on removing the plaque that has accumulated there.Use a new SPONSORED BY THE FOLLOWING NEIGHBORHOOD DENTISTS section of the floss for each tooth.Help keep your teeth in your smile where they belong instead of in a glass beside your bed.Start Flossing TOOTH DECAY PREVENTION At ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.In the past few years prevention has become the key word in dealing with tooth decay and eliminating cavities.Two of the biggest contributors have been fluoride and dental sealants.Fluoride is a well known tool in the prevention of cavities.It enhances the tooth's ability to fight off cavities.The widespread introduction of fluoridated water has lead to a significant decline in tooth decay.This, in combination with the use of fluoridated toothpastes and mounthrinses has significantly reduced the number of cavities the average Canadian child will develop.Another excellent tool available for decay prevention is pit and fissure sealants.Molars, or back teeth, can be sealed with a plastic varnish in a procedure that is painless for the child.The sealant is applied to the deep grooves of molars which are highly susceptible to decay because they trap food and bacteria, and are virtually impossible to clean.Even a single toothbrush bristle is too wide to reach into these narrow crevices.CHOOSING A DENTIST One of the first things you'll want to do when you move to a new community is choose a dentist.Take your time, look around and make an informed decision.Call your local dental society, especially if you need a specialist.Ask your friends and co-workers for suggestions.Once you have a few names, call one for an appointment.Consider the first visit a try-out.Decide if you would like to develop a long-term working relationship with this dentist.Some points to consider include convenient location, emergency services, the length of time you have to wait to get an appointment, the thoroughness of the dentist's examination, your impression of the dentist's hygienist and assistants, payment plans, your overall opinion of the office atmosphere, and whether your dentist is a member of professional dental association.Talk to your dentist about any concerns you have.Most problems can be worked out.HENRY CHOLEWCKI DENTAL LABORATORY LTD.Certified Inplant Laboratory Grown & Bridge, Vencer Facinys Tel: (514) 937-5344 Fax: (514) 937-8640 4484 Sherbrooke I.Westmount HBZ 186 40104888 Du.Bruce M.Oliver D.D.S., F.R.C.D.(C) WEY | ORTHODONTISTS Diplomatie American Board 4637 Sherbrooke St.West 937-6388 Westmount, Quebec, H3Z 1G2 DR.DOUGLAS HAMILTON, b.os.CARING, PROFESSIONAL AND PUNCTUAL SERVICE 937-3008 245 Victoria suite 620 40104891 LE GROUPE Couture Wiseman Lorne A.Wiseman s.sc.0.0.5.Dip.Pério, FA.C.D.PERIODONTIST AND IMPLANT SPECIALIST ; 2 2222 boul.René Lévesque Ouest, suite 200, Montréal Qc.H3H 1R6 (514) 937-3535 established since 1962 Excellence in dentistry -
