Perish played an excellent set and the two judges seemed to think so also, voting the punk rock trio the best band. They won four hours of free recording time at a studio in Owen Sound and got to play another set. Congrats boys on a job well done.

A Young Perspective Eating disorders rising at alarming rate By Sarah Mann Eating disordei's are potentially life threatening conditions that are increasing at an alarming rate. Men, women, girls and boys are suffering from these diseases and eating disor- ders are not a disease of race, age or gender. They can happen to anyone. There has been significant publici- ty over the years about these condi- tions, so that most of us at .least know that anorexics starve them- selves and bulimics binge and purge. We also know that overeaters eat too much and often binge. Certainly it is now understood that eating disorders are not just about food and being thin, but are part of an emotional system that affect's every aspect of the sufferer's life. It is essential that we notice the warning signs of the different eating disorders so that we may get the per- son the help they deserve. Here are some signs to look for: Anorexia Nervosa — fatigue and lack of energy, amenorrhea (loss of menstruation), dizziness and headaches, dehydration, shortness of breath, irregular heartbeats, cold hands and feet. Bulimia Nervosa — fatigue and lack of energy, a menorrhea (loss of menstruation).and irregular menstru: ation, dizziness, headaches, depres- sion, erosion of teeth enamel. Compulsive overeating -- weight gain, hypertension or fatigue, heart ailments, mobility problems, dia- betes. Here is another way to determine whether or not you or someone you know has an eating disorder. Be as honest as possible. Answer YES or NO to the following questions: • Do you feel out of control when you eat? • Do you starve yourself? • Do you feel in control when you don't eat? ' • Do you feel you don't deserve to eat? • Do you ha• ve an intense fear of gaining weight? • Do you believe you are fat even though others tell you differently? • Do you use diet pills or laxatives to control your weight? • Do you feel guilty after eating? • After eating, do you binge and self-induce vomiting? • Do you binge if you are -feeling sad? • Do you feel food and weight are the only things that you have con- trol over? • Do you tell yourself you're ugly, fat, worthless etc.? • Do you avoid social 'gatherings or meals because of food? • Are you ashamed of your eating habits? • Do you think about food constant- ly? • Do you exercise excessively to lose weight? • Do you believe you will be happi- er if you lose weight? • Do you get angry at people if they ask you about your eating habits? • Are you secretive about what you eat or don't eat? • Do you have a need to be perfect? • Do you lie about your weight loss and make efforts to hide it from others? • Do you constantly think about food, calories and recipes? • Do you think that you may have an eating disorder? If you have answered YES to four or more of these questions you may have an eating disorder. I would strongly urge you to discuss matters with your health care provider, a therapist or someone who special- izes in eating disorders. Also consid- er talking to a close friend or family member who may help lead you in the right-direction to get help. Sarah's Side Kudos to Bjork for never being afraid to be herself By Sarah Mann I realized something Sunday night while watching the Oscars. Have you ever noticed some, outfits that are so ugly, so tacky, but the person who is wearing it seems to pull it off? For those of you who watched What Matters By Elyse DeBruyn Does $3 seem like a lot to you? Or what about $1? Some people seem to think it is. I work at the Lucknow arena taking admission behind a piece of glass in a small office. To come in and watch a hockey game, whether it be novice or juvenile the cost is $3 for an adult and $1 for a child. To me this is not an extreme the Oscar's I'm sure you noticed Bjork's dregs. Her dress was made to look like a swan. • It was such a horrible dress, it looked like she had a dead swan wrapped around her neck. But somehow, just by the person that she amount of money, but some people find the need not to pay and sneak by me. These are not five-year-old chil- dren. These are grown adults. Most of the time, the adults will pretend they don't see me. They may think they are pulling the wool over my eyes, but they are the ones who look stupid, trying to rip off the town's arena. Another problem is people don't is and the way she carries herself, she could do it. Wearing a dress like that just seemed natural for her. It wouldn't seem right to see Bjork show up to the Oscars in a Vera Wang or a Calvin Klein. Which is another interesting point, pay for their children. I know a dol- lar isn't worth as much as it used to be, but it is only $1. I once had a woman get mad at me because she didn't want to pay for her son to get into the arena. There is a very simple answer to this problem. Pay for your child or leave them at home with a babysitter. - The next time you go to a hockey game, please remember to pay. as she said that her friend made the dress for her. How refreshing it was to see a celebrity that didn't give in to all the hype of the Oscars but wore a dress that her friend made her. Now, I didn't fancy the dress that she chose to wear. I would never Three dollars is not a large amount of money and what kind of example are you setting for your children when you don't pay? We want our arena to stay open and the money that is--rnade through admission helps out a lot. 73r • I VARIETY INC. • Video & DVD Rentals • Snacks & treats • Books & magazines • Your local lotto centre NEW Arriving April 2 - TORONTO SUN - Suntastic Tomatoes (from Exeter) now available - Easter Cards Open 7 days a week for your convenience phone/fax 887-6224 wear it myself but I absolutely loved it on her. Also, the dress was so original, I doubt she worried at all about some- one else showing up in the same dress as hers like the other celebrities might have. Kudos to Bjork for always being her self and not being afraid to be that person. Sneak ockey fans not paying way
