Now she is the voice of o reason. Meet Sarah McDonald, the Durham Board of A Education's multicultural and M race relations consultant. population and all the mea- sures that had to be put into place" for people to get along. "Here in Durham, I had to do something about it." In September 1980, she co- founded the Pickering Caribbean Canadian Cultural Association. If anyone is qualified to con- front the contentious issues facing today's schools in a region that is growing by thou- sands of students every year, it's McDonald. She deals with parents, students, teachers and administrators, drawing on many resources to build a data base that captures experience, professionalism and common sen se. And in light of recent activi- ties in Durham Region, espe- cially those at Pickering High, where controversy swirls around alleged tensions between south Asians and whites, McDonald's is a voice of understanding and compas- sion. She recently spent a cou- ple of days at the school to hear the views of students and educators with respect to that issue. And she'll tell you up- front that Pickering High's problems are no different from those issues at any other school. Her approach is direct. "I am often called in as a resource to look at the situation and devel- op strategies to change things. One of my bottom lines is that I involve the community as much as possible." Finding a sense of commu- nity was a challenge when McDonald first moved to Durham Region in 1976. "When I started here, I didn't meet a lot of people who looked like me. I worked in A native of Jamaica, McDonald put the energy and experience of her varied back- ground, a combination of teaching, social activism and social work, into the associa- tion. A graduate of Mills College of Education and New York University (she holds a Master's degree in Mathematics). McDonald taught school in her native Jamaica before moving to Canada. Finding a sparse Ontario teaching market, she entered social work as director of Humewood House, a residence for young women with family and social problems. She later taught in a "section 16" school, for children with behavioural problems. She also completed coarses in drug education and social work to complement her teach- ing skills. In 1989 she went to wok at Harwood Secondary School (now Exeter High School) in Ajax and was called upon to be. the school's employment equi- ty representative. In 1992, when the board called for a multicultural and race relations consultant, McDonald wan the lob. Over the past three years, she has developed a hands-on awareness of elementary and high school needs, drawing together committed personnel who provide broad-based input -l_o,a�tQthe time, gand �.saw p , op.ii4spgs,gf,co4eerq to, the M ttt 60,000 students in its system (21,500 at the high school level) and is growing at the rate of 1,500 -new students every year. McDonald's approach includes monthly meetings of school reps, updates and infor- mation sharing, a program to detect biases in teaching mate- rials and extensive contact with parents of different cultural backgrounds. Her Students Together Against Racism (STAR) lead- ership program puts selected students through rigorous anti - racism skills training, then sends them back to their home schools to develop heightened communication among their peers. The program has grown from a participation rate of 96 students and 21 teachers at 15 schools in 1993 to 137 students and 25 teachers at 20 schools in 1995. And a "summer insti- tute" puts teachers and com- munity leaders through one- week training sessions. A recent document produced through McDonald's office, called "Unite and Celebrate", is a compilation of views from students, teachers and commu- nity members. Designed to help people understand the cul- tural roots of different celebra- tions, it's available through the school board. Overall, "the aim is to deal with issues at the school level and to equip teachers to deal with them effectively," she says. Simultaneously, her ener- gy has been absorbed by the community and reflected in a strong commitment. For instance, the Multicultural Council of Oshawa contributed money to have a steel band program set up at Pickering High; another group funded a three-day program, run by Dunbarton Fairport United Church Minister, Glenn Brown, called "Leading the Way." Seated at a long, bmad table in a basement work area madwd by small, neat stacks of photocopied race relations material (her office next to it has a wall of plaques and cita- tions from the community in recognition of her wodk), looks mon like an administrator than an activist. But her quiet diplomacy- very "Canadian" in itself — is underscored by determination; she is decidedly someone who Sets things done. And that brings up the issue of Pickering High. In November, a south Asian activist group, the Canadian Alliance for Fairness and Equity, called a news confer- ence to discuss what it deemed to be racial incidents at the school. Although the media held a spotlight on the school for weeks, administrators kept cool heads. Insisting that the tension was not racially moti- vated, officials attempted to steer attention away from reminders of a 1991 incident when more than a hundred stu- dents, black against white, squared off in a hand-to-hand confrontation. Racial tension, fueled by teenage aggression and given a sharp edge by weapons taken furtively into the schools, has forced the issue into the fore- front. There are well-documented cases of incidents with racial overtones: in 1991 at Dunbanon High School, when members of Heritage Front flooded the school with hate - literature to recruit new mem- bers; in 1995 at D.O.C. in Ajax, when a classroom erupt- ed in a bitter, protracted shout- ing match over race relations, whites on one side of the room, blacks and Asians on the other, with a teacher either unpre- pared or unable to bring the issue to closure. Pickering High Principal Gary Down is insistent that Pickering is "not a racist school. We're not perfect, but we're not a racist school. l would be the last to say that our school doesn't have some of the ills that all of society has." So how do people effect change when part of the popu- lation denies there is a prob- lem, another segment blames "interest groups" and still another says there is racism in every aspect of their lives, pushing down on them like a weight? McDonald says society is in a state of flux. She defends school multicultural clubs as necessary to get people to understand that more Canadians are increasingly going to be non-white. Several schools have had anti -racism associations changed by administrators into muhicultur. al clubs. "Any time you say .racism,' people feel they are under attack," McDonald says. "Multiculturalism says 'I like "you, you are different, you enrich our country.' Anti - racism says 'If I am going to be a part of this country and give it my share, I must be reflected in the decisions it makes. My existence must be validated.' Multiculturalism is the continuum on the path to anti -racism" , Roland Rutland, chair of the Social Development Council of Ajax and Pickering's race rela- 1 _ - - - _ - - - - - - - - - - - - _ -. . _.- --___ �. � -. -- - --.- i tions committee, attended a large focus group following the November incident. "At the meeting, I held up the anti -racism guidelines and asked who knew about these guidelines, which had been in place since 1993. There were about half a dozen who had read the guidelines out of 200 who were there. The majority are out of the educational loop. It puts the onus on different ethnocultural communities to get involved." Rutland also criticizes the approach of the school board, pointing to a lack of consensus in handling the issue, though the board called for a special inquiry. "There has been no sitting down of the school boards and the community and the police — together — to try to solve it," "If they had done this in the first week ... calm heads would have prevailed." Pickering High is "moving in the right direction," says McDonald. "The kids were very concerned that their school was being given a bad name. All the kids are saying 'No, it's not so (to charges of racism).' A kid will call anoth- er kid a name but it's no differ- ent from any other school." Several groups at the school are very involved in bringing the anti -racism, multicultural message to the student body, says McDonald, adding that the best activities are the ones that bring students together for a common purpose; such exer- cises help students to bond. McDonald cites the STAR camp as an example. "When we go to camp, we do a lot of 'family' exercises with the kids. When the time comes to go back to school, they don't want to go back to their usual school groups." Community activists and officials are united in their praise for McDonald. Surinder Singh Gill, a senior advisor with the provincial Ministry of Citizenship, Culture and Recreation, considers her a trailblazer. "Sarah is one of the original pillars of the commu- nity who actually persuaded not just the minority communi- ty but the community as a whole, to look into major issues," says Gill. "She is a unique lady from the black community who has done many things for the communi- ty through her role, her com- mitment, her ideas and her implementation programs." Roland Rutland agrees. "Sarah is very committed to the community. She's extreme- ly committed to equity. to social justice and to advoca- cy." Recognition of her contn- butions to Durham resulted in the naming of a community facility for her, the Sarah McDonald Building, located at Hwy. 2 and White's Road in Pickering. A mother of five, McDonald says her energy and enthusi- asm for her work comes from her parents. "From my child- hood days, my parents would do anything to get me involved. I never missed a school trip, I never missed an exam. I had to be there. I think they wanted me to be the best I could be. I always had good people around me, people who wanted to to achieve." And watching students achieve, in a supportive, positive environ- ment, ideally a microcosm of a healthy and nurturing commu- nity, is her ultimate goal. "Ift Promoting peace and harmony by John Cooper Mobeen Khaja is a bright, enthusiastic man who carries himself with an air of good-natured camaraderie; upon meet- ing him, you're immedi- ately grasped by the sense that he truly believes in the goodness of people. As president of the Muslim Educational & Cultural Association, Inc. (MECA), Khaja heads a group of 175 like-minded individuals. They are people who care about their community and its needs, people who speak willingly and without apprehension of the per- ceptions of other Canadians towards them. All told, they offer a Canadian experience that is unique to being a Muslim in a land where you are often misunder- stood. During a morning con- versation in Khaja's !tome in east Ajax, he is joined by other members and associates of MECA: education professor Dr. Muhammad Sirajuddin. Whitby resident Mohammed Arifullah, retired army major Muhammed Abbas Ali, food bank worker Qaiser Naqvi and Khaja's wife Anees and son Mateen. Now 11 years old, the organization, which serves Durham Region and Scarborough, was formed to step up the level of communication between Muslims and mainstream society through education and social activities. "Our objective is to have a better understand- ing of Muslims and of the religion for all Canadians." says Khaja, who came to Canada 22 years ago and who has been in Ajax eight years. Sirajuddin, a professor of education, agrees. The fundamental objec- tive is to promote and create an atmosphere of peace and harmony ... to play a major role m pro- moting Islam as the way of peace." In fact, Islam means Peace in Arabic — and these strong-minded members of the Canadian community mmuntt are quick k to clarify that they are Canadian Muslims, not just Muslims, and that they came to Canada because it offered the potential of peace and 'Iharmony. "We choose to live ;here," says Sirajuddin. "We love it here. "Because we are Canadian by choice, we are willing to make a remarkable contribution to this country." And remarkable it is. Among the group's com- munity activities are Heritage Day Celebrations, which offer a continuing link to the mainstream community; the production and distri- bution of a booklet, enti- tled Waterfall: A Collection Of Works to Dilute Racism; and par- ticipation in the Ajax Home Week celebrations. As well, the group sponsors a food bank and is set for the opening of an emergency hostel in Whitby in February. Doubly remarkable is the fact that they reach far beyond their religion, to provide aid, comfort, food and shelter to those from every walk of life and religious denomina- tion. Those efforts are a core part of the Islamic reli- gion and fall under the "five pillars of the faith," laid down by the Prophet Mohammed 1,300 years ago: Shahada, or the pro- fession of faith; daily prayer; payment of the Zakat, or alms -tax (money used to help the community); fasting in the month of Ramadan, the holy month, and a pil- grimage to Mecca, the holy centre for Islam, in Saudi Arabia. While the five pillars form the obligatory core of the religion, adherents are also expected to uphold and practice the notions of charity and justice. Muslims believe there is "no god but God and Mohammed is the mes- senger of God." God is called Allah in Arabic. Allah's will and com- mandments, recorded in the Koran, were revealed to Mohammed, a leader of men who started Islam among the desert tribes of the Middle East in the seventh - century. Mohammed is noted for his being very human and mortal: while he is respected and emulated, he is not wmshipped. A significant time in the Muslim calendar is the 30 days of Ramadan — which begins this year on January 21 — during which Muslims fast, tak- ing no food or water, from sunrise to sunset and. abstain from alcohol, N khn Cmper Muhammad Sirajuddin, Mateen Khaja (standing), Annes Khaja, '.Mobeen Khaja, Muhammed Arifullah (standing), Muhammed Abbas Ali and Qaiser Naqvi celebrate Ramadam. smoking and sexual rela- tions. Ramadan is a time of self-examination, prayer and mastery over worldly concerns. There are more than 180,000 Muslims in Canada (and more than 10 million in North America), with 58 per cent in Ontario, concen- trated primarily in larger centres like the Greater Toronto Area. With one in five possessing a uni- versity degree, they have a post -secondary educa- tion rate double that of other Canadians. And yet images, from Gulf War leader Saddam Hussein and Libyan lead- er Moammar Qaddafi to newspaper stories of Muslim terrorists and movies portraying Muslims as crazed extremists, pervade the North American media. The formation of groups like MECA help dispel those troubling and racist images. "Islam is for everyone," says Sirajuddin. "We value dialogue with other communities." Abbas, a former Indian Army major runs the ,group's food bank; he is also responsible for spearheading the estab- lishment of the hostel opening this year. During World War II, he served in the British Indian Army. Today, he's a father of nine (and grand- father of 27!) and walks, having logged more than 10,000 km over the years, to raise money for the Canadian Arthritis Society and other causes. And he's planning a parachute jump for chari- ty. All of which is not bad for a 75 -year-old. "We owe something to God," he says. "And we owe something to his cre- ation. There are many less fortunate brothers and sisters who don't even get one square meal a day."

Growing up as a Muslim in Canada often means drawing upon two cultures. But it's not as stressful as some might think, says Khaja's son Mateen, 25, a University of Toronto grad. "I've been able to have a greater understanding for differences," he says. "I find that our differ- ences are not really so big and that we can build bridges between people." Islam points to being a "good neighbor to the seven neighbors to the left of you and to the seven neighbors to the right of you," says Sirajuddin. The idea behind it is that if every one of those neighbors follows that same policy, soon you'll have a recipe for harmony. And that makes particular sense right about now.

Vk came up empty. On the other hmd, we all knew what Pickering doesn't want, the list is endless: garbage dumps, airports, amalgamation with Ajax, the GTA, and on and on. Is Pickering really against everything? Well if it isn't, that hasn't been evidenced lately. At MondaV s council meeting, a proposal for expansion at Cherry Downs went down to defeat when a group of north Pickering residents packed the chambers, ready to do battle, and once again got their way with Pickering council. And a plan for development, which actually had some merit, was squashed. Deferral would have meant ongoing negotiation; defeat, in this case, was just that. ClubLink will now have to Wet to the OMB if it wants to proceed with its plan.

Town manager Tim Sheffield said that the notices request that payment be made to Toronto parking enforcement and be mailed to a post office box in Downsview. He said that while the tickets are similar to those issued by the town and have a similar crest, the company is not purporting to issue tickets under the Provincial Offenses Act. Rather the fine print on the tickets state that they are certified by an official who owns the property and people are parking there contrary to posted conditions. Drivers receiving the tickets are told to pay within a specified number of days or legal action will be taken. "Thus is misleading to say the Reported firebomb under investigation By Richard Fleming Pickering Council will ask staff to investigate a report that a young woman had what was described as "a firebomb" placed in her car by a group of boys at the Pickering Recreation Centre on January 15. Ward 2 councillor Sherry Senis told her colleagues that she had received a letter from a father informing her of the incident and raising his concerns about security at the complex. Councillor Senis says that while the firebomb was placed in the front seat of the young woman's car fortunately she arrived in time to remove it. "The father was concerned that if she had been a few minutes earlier she might have confronted the perpetrators," councillor Senis said, adding that it seemed to be one group of kids that was responsible. Councillors will ask staff to determine exactly what happened and will also be reviewing security at the recreation complex. least," councillor Maurice Brenner said. "Are the tickets a misrepresentation?" The town manager said that he believes the company is "just on the proper side of the law," since the lot is not a commercial parking lot. Sheffield said that he would be consulting with the police and the town solicitor would he looking into it as well. Individuals who want to discuss or dispute the issuance of the notices, or the costs of service associated with them, are asked to disclose personal information such as their name, address, telephone number and their vehicle's identification number. "We ask the public to be careful not be be misled by these notices as they are similar in appearance to the Pickering Infraction Notices issued by the town under the Provincial Offenses Act. We urge anyone receiving a parking ticket to carefully read the fine print before making any payment or disclosing personal information," a news release from the town states. Town of Pickering Parking Infraction Notices clearly indicate that they are issued by the town and provide an option for voluntary payment to be made to the Town of Pickering. In addition they do not ask for vehicle information or telephone numbers. Mr. Sheffield said that so far he has received about FOR 30 YEARS IN A ROW... eight complaints regarding the tickets and they were all from people who had cars parked in a certain lot. He didn't know if the tickets had been issued anywhere else in town. Anyone having questions about a parking ticket should contact the Town of Pickering's Municipal Enforcement Office at 42O-4615.

Sylvan Learning Centre More than just tutoring by Edwin Mercurio When Whitby's Sylvan Learning Centre executive director Kristi Duncan recently won this year's prestigious award for Outstanding Sylvan Learning Centre Operations, the :sward was appropriate. Kristi won the award "for administering well-balanced, well -monitored results programs, maintaining an anractive, organized operation, communicating consistently and thoroughly with parents, and ensuring comprehensive staff training and effective student scheduling." She was chosen, out of 600 Sylvan Learning Centres, as an administrator who has, over the years, demonstrated excellence in every aspect of operating a Sylvan Learning Centre. The Svlvwi Learning Centre in Whitby has been in operation since 1991 and has more than 100 students in Grades 1 to 12 and adult studies. According to Kristi, every student who comes into the program first undergoes an assessment, which includes a standardized testing also recognized by other professional institutions. "We use the test results to plan programs for students based on their skill, gap or weakness." she says. "Then we give them individual attention to allow them to move at their own pace and do work that is important to them." Sylvan Learning Centre also works closely with other schools, parents and students. "We're not doing it alone. They're part of us. If we work together, that's going to help the students." What's unique about the Sylvan system? "Our teachers!" Kristi explains with a smile. Sylvan, she says, is considered the leader in supplemental education. "We have qualified teachers and all of them have Bachelor of OPTOMETRISTS Dr. Emile Gillezeau Dr. Mark Fitzsimmons . Dr. Allan Hum Dr. Michele Schmidt Dr. Jason Ritchie Dr. Linda Voisin WE INVITE NEW PATIENTS BY APPOINTMENTS WE OFFER FAMILY EYECARE Flexible Hours 683-1175.839.5303 Education degrees." Being a franchise also has its advantages. Started in the mid- 70s, Sylvan Learning Centres how have 600 centres across North America and Asia. "The length of time we've been here and the way we structured and simplified our programs make our system work better." she notes. Having a large education department in Baltimore. Maryland gives Sylvan the edge over other competitors. "Our strength is in our numbers and the length of time we've been in the business." Sylvan's motto is to have success with every student no matter what their individual difficulties may be. To achieve this, the programs are modified to each student. Kristi believes that parents "realize that we promote life- long learning. Sylvan is an investment. It's affordable. It also requires a commitment from both parents and the I student. Our reputation brings parents here because they know they get the results. We get referrals and results and a lot of people stay with us for a long time." However, she cautions parents not to think of the learning centre as a band-aid solution. "We're not a quick fix. We're not tutors where we go in and solve a problem for the next exam. We find out why a student has a problem and then go back and fix that problem. It takes time. but the end result works." She likes people to consider the Centre and the staff as problem solvers whose learning system is guaranteed to work. Sylvan Learning Centre aims to develop skills in its students through positive. caring, individualized instruction and a proven motivation system. The Centre's enrichment program guarantees personal attention: "Patience, encouragement and Sylvan wrote the book on reading. kAs the leader in suppktne'ntal education for over 16 yeah, SyMan's approach to reading produces measurable results. We start by uncovering your child's skill gaps. Then, Sylvan's certified teachers develop a personalized program that is the key to your child's success. Grades go up.

One advantage of having your child enrolled in the Sylvan Leaming Centre is its wide educational network. Parents, whose job may take them to another company location, can readily transfer their children to any of the Sylvan Learning Centre branches all across North America, where the achievement of the students will be recognized and where they can continue with their studies at whatever level they have reached. Another advantage is the one-on-one instruction at Sylvan Learning Centre as opposed to the crowded classroom school environment. "In addition to verbal reassurance. the Centre has developed a proven motivational system that helps give your child a concrete sense of accomplishment. Your child's progress is charted daily, monitored regularly, and parents are kept up to date through frequent conferences. Sylvan Learning Centre programs include: Beginner's Reading: Academic Reading: Basic !Mathematics; Algebra: Study Skills, SAT/ACT College Prep. a program designed to provide strategics in math. test -taking and study techniques: and the Clear Wnting Program designed to improve writing skills which teaches the process approach to writing paragraphs, letters and essays_ Editing skill; are also sharpened and students learn to "publish" their own writing with a user-friendly word processing program. Kristi adds that any child can Stan at any time because Sylvan's programs are individualized. For more information, visit Sylvan Learning Centre. Kendalwood Park Plaza. 1801 Dundas St. E.. Unit 25.

Ottenbrite, a former Olympic champion, told the young crowd that if thev want to succeed in their chosen sports then they must learn two things: (a) motivation (intrinsic and extrinsic) and (2) to set goals. "I enjoyed being in the water, training and pushing myself," said Ottenbrite. "The love and desire is the key motivation. The only reason I was doing it was for myself. I wanted to do it for nhy country, to hear the Canadian anthem, to see the Canadian !lag tying higher than anyone else's and for my coaches. But first ;+nd foremost it was for myself." Ottenbritc's goal was to win an Olympic gold; it's what she had .et her sights on. The Whitby native showed a video to the stu- dents of her gold medal win at the '&i Olympics in Los Angeles in which she Lifted her arms to the sky in victory. "For four years prior to that, my ultimate goal was to go to the Olympics and win cold." she said. "I wouldn't allow myself to put my arms up in the :ur until I won the gold at the Olympics. It felt pretty satisfying." Now a coach at the University of Guelph. Ottenbritc's words h:hd an impact on the students in the program. Andrea Manson, a grade eight student at Frenchman's Bay Public School and a swimmer with the Durham Aquatic Club, wars enthralled with what the former champion had to say. "I really wanted to come here and hear what she had to say atxwt her experiences;" said Manson. "She's really got my hopes Up and 1 look up to her as someone important and inspirational.- Dunbarton am•ited all its own High Performance athletes to Lis- irn to Ottenbrite. as well as athletes from its feeder schools.

Baun tournament a favorite for oldtimers For the 15th .ear. the oldtimers laced up the skates once again recent) at the Bob Baun Hockc} Club tournament. .Despite having the nametag of "oldtimers", some of the players can still show bursts of speed, let a shot rip and come up with incredible saves. But for the most part, camaraderie is a big part of the weekend. "Everybody is still competitive," says tournament executive Frank Schmidt. "The majority of the camaraderie is off -ice. The guys spend five percent of the time on the ice and the other 95 percent off." Baun got involved .,. ith the tournament eight }ears ago and has continued to support the annual event which brings the oldtimers to Pickering. "I just thought they were a good group of guys in the local business community," says Baun. -1 never expected it to turn out the way it has. Frank is the catalyst and he was the one who got me involved. I just feel I've been so fortunate with the friendships I've made and being around yob people•" Everyone who finished the championship games walked by Baun and said "thank -you" and told him how much fun they had at the tournament and how well run the %k eekend was for them. "1 enjoy coming out and talking to some of the (cams." sa,,s Baun. "He adds a lot of prestige to the tournament." says Schmidt. "He's a team member as far as I'm concerned. He likes being with us and we love being with him.,, After all the finals had wrapped up, Baun visited every team in the dressing room to present them with commemorative gifts. All teams, whether they won or not, received something for participating in the tournament. -Our philosophy is once you get to oldtimers. even body is a winner.' said Schmidt. "For the guys who don't win, its nice for them to walk away with something..' "This is probably one of the best run tournaments and most enjoyable," says Baun. "We like to give gifts out to all the teams so they all take something home."

The latest loss, a 7-3 deci- sion, came at the hands of Bowmanville with the new coaches, former NFtLers Kevin McClelland and Jim Jackson behind the Eagle bench. Axemen head coach Bill Bowden thought the move was "a disgrace". There are two new faces in the Axemen line-up: Dave Giacoulis (who was attending York University) and Dave DeFransesco (a draft cut by the Oshawa Generals. DeFransesco made his debut last Sunday against Bowmanville while Giacoulis has appeared in two games. Chris Smith recently participated in the all-star, but was left off the scoresheet. Steve Quinn contin- ued his hot streak against the Eagles when he notched his sixth goal in as many games. To add to his total, Quinn also had six assists during that span. The rookie all-star game is approaching with four Axemen scheduled to play. Ryan Milanovic, Josh Evans, Brant and Daryl Somerville are slated to attend the game. Adam Parks continues to nurse a shoulder injury and could be sidelined for another week, Craig Arsenault is fighting an on-going ankle problem while Todd Ensol is bothered by a badly bruised hand.

Standing less than ten feet ,from moving lava, I stood mesmerised, gazing at what seemed at first to be nothing more than black rock ... until it began to glow and started to move, like a giant prehistoric animal waking up after a long sleep. The slumbering beast oozed forwards, layer after layer, with an ominous crack- ling sound, settling like gigan- tic mounds of black whipped cream. Tendrils all around us, new bright red lava, creeping forward, hissing. The stench of sulphur and a searing heat. Setting again, starting to cool. And then the darkening skies - opening with torrential rain - a giant, primeval steam bath. Nothing could have pre- pared me for the experience! Not even my travels to Kauai. Maui or Oahu before, for the Big Island is full of surprises, and the Volcano National Park is just one of then. Heading towards the park on the south side of the island earlier that day, along the spectacular winding highway, the scenes were full of con- trasts. One minute I was driv- ing through massive, black lava flows that had devastated everything in their path to the sea, and the next I was in a village that could have been in England. Stone walls sur- rounded lush and peaceful fields and streams. It was hard to believe that I was on a trop- ical island. Little preparation hen for what was to come. Travelling east, along the south short of the island, the lava flows are interspersed with green grassy hillsides sloping down to the sea. There are no beaches here - just hundred foot cliffs pounded by huge Pacific waves sending spray high up into the skies. The strong westerly winds provide perfect currents for sea birds and colourful kites - another oddity in such a wilderness - splashes of colour eagerly flown by locals. There is something hum- bling in the thought that what I was watching being foamed would probably be there for billions of years. Something sobering about the vision of the earth in creation. Something that makes you value Hawaii not just as a hol- iday destination —but �4sJ � ::r: i, t N ![ISI I II 0o a a Puerto V 11 rta Departure Dates February 02, 09 February 16, 23 March 01 Accommodation Club del Sol/ Studio Club del Sol/ Studio Club del Sol/ Studio 7nts $599* $619* $619* $789* $799* $769* Toronto departures.

Their aim was to create a public celebration of Hawaii's music, dance and history. The celebration quickly became an island tradition, growing over the next 45 years to encompass 300 events on six islands. Aloha Week became Aloha Festival in 1991, and now spans a two month period, the only statewide celebra- tion in the United States. Planning is well advanced to celebrate the of Aloha Festivals ribbons and merchandise, as well as appropriated monies from the Hawaii State Legislature and corporate and private donations. Each year a theme is chosen to represent the spirit of the Aloha Festivals. The 1996 theme is Hali'a Aloha, meaning Treasured memories ... with fond recollections, inviting all of Hawaii's people to celebrate the pre- cious legacy of aloha through the sharing of cherished memories and nostalgic moments. And of course, this will be a good time for tourists to be there too. 50th anniversary in Lavis parades, live con - September and October. certs and royal pageants, ("HERE WE GROW AGAIN!!" . f VAL MARSHALL TRAVEL IS PIEASED TO WELCDME HEATHER GRAHAM TO OUR STAFF Heather Graham CTC y Senior Consultant Heather's 16 yr. background in the travel industry in the Ajax area complements our existing staff of experienced, senior consultants.

From the Royal Ball, highlighting the traditional roles of the Alii and Royal Court in the Hawaiian Monarchy, to the light hearted Hula show along the streets of Waikiki, and not to mention the lower profile gatherings on neighbouring islands, Aloha Festivals is a unique opportunity for travellers to experience the essence of Hawaii. Music, from Andy Cummings' Waikiki to Sunday Manoa, a float parade even Disney would be proud of, a mule run from one end of Kaunakakai town to the other (they're either strug- gling to drag the mule, or to keep up with it), a rodeo on Kauai's south shore, or even the alcohol free Aloha street dance in Lanai city. The Aloha festivals includes the Kindy Sproat Falsetto and Storytelling Contest, the Ms. "Big" Big Island Contest and the Sam Choy Poke Contest. .Everybody will come together to enjoy what Hawaii is, and what it has to offer. For this is the spirit of Hawaii.
