Agreement Could Create Local Jobs The governments of Canada and Ontario have signed an infrastructure agreement that is expected to create more than 20.000 jobs over the next two years. The federal and pro- vincial governments will each contribute $722 million to the program. Combined with contribu- tions from municipalities, this will mean more than $2.1 billion will be invested in infrastructure and job creation in Ontario over two years. An estimated 4,000 projects could be assisted throughout the province by the program. Dan McTeague. M.P. for Ontario Riding and Jim Wiseman. M.P.P. for Durham West, announced on Jan.25th. that money from the Infrastructure Works Program. jobsOn- tano fund and coninbu- tions from local municipalities will create badly needed jobs in the region.

Infrastructure. "The new federal govern- ment's enthusiasm towards job creation is refreshing. I only wish we could have had similar federal assistance several years ago", said Mr. Wiseman. "With this agreement, we can create badly needed jobs in our area. The federal government has recognized the need for in- vesting in infrastructure to create employment oppor- tunities and build a strong foundation for local economic growth in the future", added Dan McTeague. Under the Canada -Ontario agreement, each municipality in Ontario has been allocated a share of the $1.23 billion available based on such factors as population, number of households. capital expen- ditures and municipal tax- ation. Under this formula. the total federal -provincial funding allocatnan for Ajax will be $5,142 iM. Picker- ing will receive $4,909,343 . Infrastructure projects such as water treatment and distribution systems. sewage and drainage: ear- thworks, roadworks, and related construction: energy refits and construc- tion of public buildings will be given funding priority. In addition, $200 million of the total federal -provincial funding will be allocated to the education sector. On- tano's educational institu- twins will have access to funding to carry out much needed infrastructure im- provements such as the repair or expansion of ex- isting facilities. The Durham Region Roman Catholic Separate School Board will receive $2.149.ai7 under the pro- gram while the Durham Board of Education will ob- tain $5,847,909. Durham College will also receive $1,012.400. Region Rejects Town's Request The Town of Pickering is after $350,000 to help ease the town's financial burden created by the search for a Durham landfill site. Mayor Wayne Arthurs and Councillor Rick Johnston suggested to Durham Regional Council that the money could come from the Durham Regional Waste Reserve Fund. The regional council sent the matter to the finance and works committee as some council members were against providing this money from the Waste Reserve Fund.

February 2. 1994 opinion a page for expression for you and us Going Forward? by Bob Watson Well. the federal budget hasn't been released yet but it appears (by political comments) that key items such as Canada Pension Plan and tax increases are not in the budget. If the federal government is listening to the public, as it seems to be, then changes in political decisions may be on the right track. The provincial government doesn't seem to be aware of the inadequacies. Our waste dumps won't be changed to in- cinerators despite European success in this area as well as Indianapolis, Indiana. The Bob Rae regime seems deter- mined to keep the -no white males need apply" sign at Queen's Park. We are awaiting an uprising when "white males" finally are aware that racism exists in Ontario. On the municipal scene it looks like a 7 percent increase in taxes to get the money for projects to make work may come about. We can think of one good work project - dome the Gardiner Expressway so that no salt needs to be put on the road because no snow•, ice or rain will be there. The result will be no decaying of the cement forms holding the whole project up - and a reduction in the annual work on this project. The school boards are tackling their 1994 tax budget but there is a lot of criticism for suggestions of cuts in the classroom instead of in the boardooms and outside the classroom. It's February now. Let's hope our weather pattern becomes a little easier m us all. But in anv event we should keep a very positive attitude on our lives because we'll get to the good times better that way.

Aboriginals. to brine News From Ottawa from Derek Lee MP Scarborough -Rouge River Lee Obtains Federal Assurances On Rouge Valley Derek Lee, M.P. for Scarborough -Rouge River, wasted lit- tle time in ensuring that the Rouge Valley Park proposal re- mains on the federal government's agenda by urging Minister of Canadian Heritage Michel Dupuy to reaffirm the federal government's commitment to participating in the establishment of the Rouge Valley Park. Mr. Lee's question was the first question posed by a Government Member in the first Question Period of the new Parliament. "The Rouge Valley Park will stand as a monument to our generation's consciousness about preserving the natural environment. Future generations will be able to look to it as it turning point in the development of Metropolitan Toronto. However, this will only happen if the Rouge Valley lands are protected and properly managed with principles that respect the natural domain," said Derek Lee outside the House. Mr.Lee pointed out during Question Period that the House of Commons urged negotiations with the Government of On- tario to protect this 10,000 acre area in the last Parliament. This arose from a motion, jointly put forward in the Com- mons by Derek Lee and former M.P. Pauline Brower, and passed unanimously by the House. He also reminded the House of the previous government's 19M promise of $10 million towards the conservation of the Rouge Valley, part of which was recently appropriated for the purchase of an aboriginal heritage site within and adja- cent to the Rouge Valley boundary. The Scarborough M.P. then called on the Minister to reaf- Cum the new government's commitment to those objectives and to consider further participation in the Rouge Valley Park proposal in order to ensure that the Rouge Valley Paris is effectively established. "I'm pleased that the Minister has re -confirmed the government's commitment to participating in the establishment of the Rouge Valley Park. This is another step towards making the Rouge Valley Park a reality", said Derek Lee.

How Talk TO Children A breakthrough is com- municating with children. Johnny's teacher called you at work today Mary's depressed and won't cane out of her room . . Bobby insulted your mother . . Mark brake the lamp.. Ruth's late again. . Russel wet the bed .. Jenny told a lie .. and the baby is cryingl As a parent you're on the firing line every day, cont - fronted by enough pro- blems to confound a Solomon. And yet, if you're like most parents. you have little or no preparation for the job you have to do. It seems somehow that the arrival of a child is automatically supposed to confer instant wisdom upon a mother and father. Every other occupation, from driving a truck to perform- ing surgery, requires mon- ths or years of intensive training. Only for the job of paren- ting is there the unspoken expectation that love• in- stinct and common Sense will be enough. And sometimes it is. More often, however, the most well-intentioned parents find themselves frustrated, angry. bewildered, guilty and alone. Like members of any other professional group, you and your fellow parents should have the op- portunity to get together to share your common pro- blems and receive continu- ing training in the skills needed to do your jobs bet- ter. Now you have that oppor- tunity - The Family Educa- tion Resource Centre of Durham House is offering a 8 session study group for parents at Pickering Village Church, 300 Church St. N., on Wed.

February 2, 1994 Winter Fishing On Lake Simcoe With the winter fishing season for Lake Trout and Whitefish on Lake Simcoe now officially open, the Ministry of Natural Resources would like to take this opportunity to re- mind anglers of ice fishing regulations. Ice conditions usually dictate when anglers can access the trout and whitefish fishing grounds. Be a safe angler. Contact a local fish but operator to determine the ice condi- tions before venturing out on the open ice. Conditions can change daily, making travel on ice hazardous. Fisheries Biologists from the Lake Simcoe Fisheries .Assessment Unit have predicted that anglers may experience good catches of whitefish this year. Remember that all residents of Ontario, residents of Canada, and non-residents over the age of 18 require a sportfishing licence to fish in Ontario. A one year licence can be ob- tained from many local licence issuers. Three year licences. temporary licences. one day licences and non-resident licences are avaiiabie from your local MNR District Office. Persons using a fish but on Lake Simcoe must en- sure that the but is proper- ly registered with MNR and that the registration number is properly displayed. Lake Simcoe fish huts can be registered at no cost with Natural Resources offices in Maple or Midhurst. Last year, Conservation Officers experienced some problems with anglers us- ing unregistered huts, or huts that did not properly display registration numbers. There were also a number of huts remain- ing on the ice after the March 15 removal deadline. Conservation Of- f icerswill patrol the lake to ensure that regulations are observed and lay charges where applicable. Let's keep lake Simcoe clean and safe. Under the Public Lands Act it is an of- fence to deposit litter on Crown land, which in- cludes the ice covered water of Lake Si mcoe. Please ensure that all litter is removed from the lake after angling. Seed Preference Test For Seeds Birds Prefer Local backyard birders have the opportunity to join thousands of volunteers who will conduct the Seed Preference Test, a study designed to find out what kind of seeds birds prefer. The study. which lasts through Apr. 30. is coor- dinated by Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology Project Feeder Watch and is sponsored by the Na- tional Science Foundation. Already over 8,000 volunteers across North Amenca have signed up to participate in one of the largest -ever volunteer scientific studies. Wild Birds Nature Shop, a retail store specializing in bird watching supplies, is a sponsor of Cornell's Project Feeder Watch and is helping coordinate the ef- forts of local bird watchers. The Seed Preference Test will study whether birds prefer oil sunflower, white millet or red nib. Results are submitted to Cornell Laboratory where they will be analyzed and ALFONSO'S Custom Tailors 2914 Sheppard Ave.E. 497.0487 50% OFF on alternations with this ad published in a quarterly report. Seed for the test is available at Wild Birds Nature Shop. According to Steve and Margaret Elliott. owners of the Wild Birds Nature Shop at 3465 Sheppard Ave. K. this is a great time to pay close attention to your feeders since heavy snow is pushing many birds father south in search of food. Our customers are reporting good numbers of chickadees, red -breasted nuthatches and redpolls. Individuals interested in the Seed Preference Test may pick up apphications at Wild Birds Nature Shop or call Cornell University at 1 -800 -643 -BIRD. Par- ticipants, who pay a small fee to cover expenses of the study. will also receive from Cornell a colour poster and a one-year subscription to the laboratory's quarterly newsletter.

February 2. 1994 THE NEWS'POST Page 7 Choosing The RSP Investments That Are Right For You by Graham Fox, Royal Bank Everyone wants to see their registered retirement savings plan grow as quick- ly as possible. The more money you accumulate in your plan, the more com- fortabfe the lifestyle you can look forward to when you stop working. To get the best results om your RSP, you have to manage it properly. That means reviewing your plan periodically, monitoring your returns, and, most im- portant, choosing the in- vestments that are right for you. Because they combine safety and guaranteed return, many people use in- terest bearing investments such as guaranteed invest- ment certificates or term deposits as the core holdings in their plan. It's a good idea to continue to do that, even when rates are down. However, if you're com- fortable with the idea of ac- cepting a little more risk in 2 New Members Join Seneca Board An officer with the On- tario Human Rights Com- mission and an expert on race relations are the newest members to join Seneca College's Board of Governors. Eva Lloyd of Markham and Richard Gosling of Unionville were appointed by the Council of Regents in October and participated in their first board meeting on Nov. 24.

Theatre Update with Frank Knight This past week The Scar- borough Theatre Guild finally opened its 35th season in the refurbished village theatre. In keeping with its celebration of 35 years of good cornimunity theatre The Guild is re- mounting some of its past productions both this year and next. All of them were a ou nding successes. The current production "Crossing Delaney" cam tinues the fine record in community theatre. The play is traditional New York Jewish with its hurnour and personal rela- tionships and deals with grandmother and her granddaughter. It's a love- ly warm relationship with light humour and just enough sentimentality. The part of the grand- mother is played by Rochelle Stern with all the right touches whilst the small cast was rounded out by Elie Gouldstein as the friend and marriage broker and Lee David and Peter Tebbutt as the male interest in the grand- daughter's life. This latter port was handled with great success by Catherine Crofton who although new to theatre. stows great potential with a good stage presence. The production side was up to the usual Guild standard. Credit must be given to director Larry O'Leary and the producer George Quigley in mounting what is obviously a proscenium type play. in an arena set- ting but with a smooth tran- sition in the many scenes by use of basic lighting and number of stage props. Although not my per- sonal choice of play it is a well written play and sure to be a good audience pleaser. The slow runs Feb. 2 to 5th at Scar- borough Village Theatre Box Office 396.4049.

So why not go for a fourth' That's the view of the Jewish Theatre Committee of Toronto as it embarks on its fourth annual play search contest. After selecting and publicly staging three suc- cessful scripts, narrowed from a score of entries each year, the Theatre Committee is convinced that its mandate to pro- mote Jewish theatre as a mode of Jewish cultural identity and continuity is best served by continuing to look for scripts that reflect Jewish outlooks. at titudes, and concerns. This year's contest has a deadline of Feb. 28, and of- fers the same grand prize as previously: a profes- sionally directed fully rehearsed public reading of the winning script - this time scheduled for Fall '94. "We've had quite a varie- ty of entries over the years," committee chair- man Ralph W introb said "from historical pageant, to political drama, to kit- chen sink tragic comedies. They represent a real cross section of Jewish issues and concerns past and pre- sent and all are eminently playable, a whole body of work for discussion and performance. Wintrob explained that the committee sees Jewish theatre, as she put it "as a cultural glue that binds us together creatively" The contest is open to any Canadian or Canada - connected playw•rite. However. the play submit- ted must not ever have received a professional staging. "We test," Win- trob explained. The committee says it has been gratified by in- terest the public has shown not just in its contest winn- ing plays but in traditional and contemporary Jewish Theatre experiences presented in workshops, lectures, and seminars the committee has sponsored and will continue to spon- sor in its new venue, the Jewish Community Centre, Bloor 'Y' Branch The committee also of- fers to recommend or supp- ly professional guidance to groups with an interest in Jewish Theatre. And it dreams of sponsor- ing an interactive exhibi- tion on the history of Jewish theatre in Toronto together with a festival of Jewish theatrical suc- cesses and experiments over the years, if funding can be found.

You do this by incor- porating other types of in- vestments into your plan, such as mutual funds. If you decide to diversify, keep in mind that the better the potential performance from any investment, the higher the potential risk. Here are the three types sof investments you can in- clude in your RSP: Savings -oriented in- vestments are best suited for investors seeking max- imum safety. They include investments with relatively low risk such as Retire- ment Savings Deposits. Retirement Term Deposits, Guaranteed In- vestment Certificates and certain types of mutual funds such as Canadian Money Market and Cana- dian T -Bill funds. Income -oriented in- vestments are appropriate for investors prepared to accept a moderate degree of risk with the expectation of a somewhat higher return. They include mutual funds such as Mor- tgage, Bond and Dividend funds. Growth -oriented in- vestments are suitable for investors who wish to max- imize the potential return in their RSPB and are com- fortable with the volatility of the stock market. They include mutual funds with capital gains potential such as Balanced, Canadian Equity and Canadian Growth funds. Once you're decided which types of RSP in- vestments are right for you, and the right propor- tions for each, you are ready to create your own RSP portfolio. The bottom line could be enhanced returns in your RSP - and more money for your retirement years. This article is one in a series prepared by Royal Bank.

Stanton Hales Badminton is one of the least understood sports in Canada. The mispercep- tion of the game is enor- mous. Canadian sports fans, however, put great stock in sports statistics, and it just may be that the numbers below will be enlightening. These figures were gathered to compare the 19M men's singles final at Wimbledon, in which Boris Becker defeated Kevin Curren 6-3, 6-7, 7-6, 6-4, with the men's singles final at the World Badminton Championships, held in Calgary in June 1965, in which Han Jian (China) defeated Morten Frost (Denmark) 14-18, 15-10, 158. These statistics must be admitted as describing the top standard of each sport. At Wimbledon, the singles final lasted a total of three hours and 18 minutes. In these 196 minutes, the tennis ball was in play 18 minutes. For 180 minutes, the players were walking or sitting, in between rallies. That means three hours of rest for 18 minutes of play. One could say that the intensity of the match was only 181 198, or 9%. At Calgary, the final lasted one hour and 16 minutes. However, in these 76 minutes, the shuttle was in play 37 minutes, for a playing intensity of 37 76, or 48%. This is just the beginning of the storv. At Wimbledon, Becker and Curren played a total of 299 points (or rallies). and these points contained 1,004 individual shots, in- cluding missed first ser- vices. Simple arithmetic reveals an average of 3.4 shots per rally, including missed first services. Sim- ple arithmetic reveals an average of 3.4 shots per ral- ly, including missed first services. At Calgary, there were only 146 rallies played, but with a total of 1,972 shots. Han and Frost produced an average of 13.5 shots per rally. Here is another way to look at this: there were 5.1 shots per elapsed minute at Wimbledon, and 25.9 at Calgary. A simple estimate of distance travelled by the players, based on the figures above and on an assumed 22 feet travelled per player per shot, would suggest that the tennis finalists each ran about 2 miles in 3 hours 18 minutes: the badminton finalists each covered 4 miles in 1 hour 16 minutes. Those millions of Cana- dians who believe badmin- ton to be an easy game should ponder this. Tennis is a great game, and it deserves all the at- tention and popularity it receives. But Badminton does not deserve the dis- dain it has received, especially in this country for so long. Badmintion deserves the respect generally accorded to the world's most demanding sports. for that is what it is. Badminton players deserve the respect generally accorded to the world's best trained athletes, for that is what they are. In England, there are some six million serious badminton players. In In- donesia, Malaysia and In- dia it is considered the na- tional sport. Hopefully. Canadians will soon realize the value of this newest Olympic sport. which has been greatly underrated in the past.

Ten teams from the Toronto and surrounding areas from Milton to Ajax and Newmarket to Scar- borough entered 329 swim- mers. It takes many officials to run a meet of this size and parents are usually called upon to take up these duties. The Meet Referee was Gerry Thomas, who was a starter at the Barcelona Olympics.

Bench management begins with establishing clear roles for all support staff. The Head Coach must be in complete charge of the bench and plavers and make all final decisions, while Assistant Coaches and other staff act in suppornve roles. Bench responsibilities will vary depending on the strengths of your support staff. The Head Coach can take full responsibility for changing lines, or delegate authority for handling defence or forwards to assistants. Whatever you decide, ensure everyone knows their role. Here are some suggestions: - supervise your team during the warm-up, ensuring that all plavers complete proper warm-up routines and goaltenders are warmed -up with safe shots of increasing difficulty - use rink diagrams for quick, visual explanations - remain positive, relaxed and in control: your players will reflect your personality - only the Head Coach or captains should address officials, and this must be done in a controlled, professional manner - ensure players are ready for all line changes and see that all players receive fair and equal ice time - never contradict support staff, it only confuses the players: address support staff individually after the game. if necessary - all individual and team feedback should be positive and specific The way your plavers perform and conduct themselves is a reflection of your bench management skills.

February 2, 1994 Bill Watt's Worlds ON STAGE ONE: The Leah Posluns Theatre is currently presenting One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest written by Dale Wasserman who later melded much of it into Man Of La Mancha. Both works concern the introduction of a man into a group of social misfits. In the latter work they are criminals by circumstance or choice. In The Cuckoo's :Vest, they are societal out- casts either by nature or the design of others. Both illustrate man's continuing inhumanity to man and the sometimes triumph of a man over his surroundings. Is Cuckoo's 'Vest (Cuckoo's !Nuts as Charo once referred to it) a good play' Unquestionably. it's well constructed and its characters are true to life. Too true actually. Is it entertaining' Well. yes and no. Those who ad- mire theatre craft will en- joy or, at least. appreciate it. Even so. thev and all others of perceptive nature and compassionate feel- ings will be disturbed by this powerful piece of theatre. NkMurphy is a neer do well who has finally gone too far and been faced with a jail sentence. He elects commitment to a state psychiatric hospital in- stead. There. in his ward. he encounters a group of men deemed unfit for the outside world. Any hope there might ever have been for them is dimmed by the ever presence of an emo- tionally sadistic ward nurse and her physically abusive attendants. Somehow though. McNiurphy reaches the men and brings them to the point where they just might be able to escape their own mental prisons. He pays a tragic price. however. for his efforts. As NIcSturphy. Justin labs has been permitted by director Reva Stern to go over the top -but only just -in his portrayal. He's strong in it but just a tad weanng. Holly Dennison is cold perfection as nurse Batch- ed r "Ratstut" r. So strong and controlled is her per- forrmance that she becomes literally hateful. Women want to scratch her eyes out and men have a back alley desire to give her a belt across the chops to wipe off her professional smile. Excellent work in one helluva role. The cast is large and not all members can be singled out for their deserved praise but special mention must go to Terry Hartford as a native Indian dehumanized by The System and Donald Adams as a man of too great a sen- sitivity. One displays a quiet strength: the other a gnawing inner weakness. Both are excellent. One reprises that One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest is a good, perhaps even excellent play, that receives a fine production at the Leah Posluns. But, is it entertaining' That's a decision that must be made by the individual. ON STAGE TWO: As close as Cuckoo's Nest is to harsh reality. The Brady Bunch is as far removed. Now playing at the Bathurst Street Theatre. T.B.B. is, as its ti- tle suggests, an almost word for word reenactment of episodes from the old Sherwood Schartz(") television stow which was always an agreeably plea- sant time waster. The dif- ference between the boob tube and the more or less legitimate stage is one of presentation. On television, the cast of professionals walked through their roles know- ing that the stow was vacuous at best. On stage an equally seasoned cast of professionals takes the show and pumps it up a level where one can ap- preciate that vacuity and laugh at it ... hilariously. Director Bruce Pirrie, a Second City alumnus. holds in his cast quite nicely and allows no one to abandon the discipline of their toles. To prevent boredom and, not so incidentally. attract continuing audiences. the episodes from the show change from time to time.

One can hardly imagine a more delightful way to celebrate Valentine's Day. COMMENT: The Column will be writing more about Napoleon, the musical scheduled for a world premiere at The Elgin in the weeks to come before its opening on Mar. 9th. For now though, one wonders if the show will be picketed by short people. Even the most complimen- tary paintings of the emperor show him as less than tall. Fact is, he for- bade anyone to paint him his actual size. No one knows now or will ever know just how short he was but he was undeniably short. So given the state of the populace today with its in- creasing militancy, it seems reasonable to sup- pose that short people might see fit to object to Napoleon in the same way as they objected some years ago tq the song titled Short People. FAST EXIT: The musical community is eagerly awaiting release of Livent's Show Boat album with the cast of the present North York Centre production. It should be a smash.

LtravelJ Myrtle Beach - Seaside Goff Capital Of The World As Canada's winter weather takes a bite, a cry goes out among avid golfers who must exchange their golf clubs for shovels. However, there is a silver lining to the icy cloud - Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Known as the "Seaside Golf Capital of the World", the Myrtle Beach area boasts almost 80 championship golf courses, where golf en- thusiasts can tee off at a different golf course every day for two and a half rnon- ihs and never play the same course twice' Grand Strand Golf courses have been design- ed by some of the best known names in golf. in- cluding Jack Nicklaus, Ar- nold Palmer, Rees Jones, and George Fazio, among others. Great care and con- sideration have been taken to protect the natural habitat and wildlife in- digenous to the area while technically challenging courses are created. Golfers could find themselves standing in the midst of towering Carolina pines or giant live oaks draped in Spanish moss, while some courses overlook huge bluffs with the Atlantic ocean or In- tracoastal Waterway in the background. Variety is a contributing factor to the success and popularity of Grand Strand golf causes. winch come in many shapes, sizes and degrees of difficulty. Local courses feature such uni- que attractions as a pri %ate airstrip adjoining a clubhouse, a cable car that crosses the Intracoastal Waterwav and alligators lurking in water hazards. Some of the courses are built on historical rice plan- tations, preserving the area's -Old South" flavour. And of course, the South Carolina sunshine doesn't hurt either' Golf has been a part of life on the Grand since 19'7 when Robert White, the first PGA president, built the Pine Lakes Country Club, the first golf course to the Myrtle Beach area. Having paved the way for future courses, the Pine Lakes Country Club is heralded as "The Grand- daddy". More courses were built in the 1950s and 1960s, and by the 1900s there were 35 courses to choose from. Since then, the Myrtle Beach area has experienc- ed a rapid growth in courses along this coastal region, attracting golfers and their families from all over the world. Many of these courses host major professional and amateur lournaments, including the DuPont World Amateur Tournament. Some interesting facts - at the current rate that golf courses are being built, the Myrtle Beach area will have 112 courses or 2,016 holes of golf by the year 2,000. Last year, there were 7,397,775 golf balls lost on the Grand Strand golf caries. And. there are 5,513 sand traps along the Myrtle Beach area. Myrtle Beach is indeed golfer's paradise," says William Tappe, Director Canada of the United States Travel & Tourism Administration (USTTA ). "And the year -hound warm climate and numerous ac- tivities - outlet malls, con- certs and miles of beach, for example -snake Myrtle Beach and South Carolina the perfect winter holiday destination for everyone." Although golf is played all year round. spring and autumn are the bunswst seasons due to the sub- tropical weather and off- season accommodation rates.

Closed from 1977 to 1990 for scientific excavation, the Ashfall Fossil Beds at Nebraska's State Historical Park were open- ed for public viewing in 1991, allowing visitors to get as close to the ancient bones as possible, often within a few feet. Approximately 10 million years ago in the sub- tropical grasslands of Nebraska, hundreds of rhinos, three -toed horses, camels and other animals died in a deadly volcanic storm and were buried by ash while milling around the edges of a watering hole. Still locked in their death poses, the stunning - preserved skeletons of these prehistoric beasts lay undisturbed until the 1970s. when scientific study of the fossilized remains began.

Pay Attention To Politics The original rolling stone The man who wrote "The Cremation of Sam McGee" By Marsha Boulton WHITEHORSE, YUKON, 1906 — What Canadian poet claimed to have been shot at while writing one of his most famous ballads? Robert Service was a bank teller in Whitehorse when he was invited to prepare a reading for a church concert. It was a rowdy Klondike Saturday night when he thought of the line: "A bunch of the boys were whooping it up." After returning to his apartment above the bank office, Service says in his autobiography. "Ploughman of the Moon." he crept downstairs to the quiet of his teller's cage and commenced work. A sleeping guard awoke and assumed the midnight author was a burglar. "Fortunately, he was a poor shot or 'The Shooting of Dan McGrew' might never have been written," wrote Service. "With the sensation of a bullet whizzing past my head, and a detonation ringing in my ears, the hallad was achieved." More than 50 years later. Service finally admitted the story was pure hokum. Service emigrated to Canada from Scotland in 1894 with $15 in his pocket and visions of becom- ing a cowboy. He tramped about and took all manner of odd jobs, before he began a career in bank- ing which led him to the Yukon. His first book of verse, "Songs of a Sourdough." was an acciden tal success. Ser- vice had intend- ed to print a slim volume of his poems as a sou- venir for his friends, and his father forwarded the material to a publisher of hymn books in New York for printing. The book sold itself when press- men were discovered laughing and reciting Service's verse, including the classic "Cremation of Sam McGee." The book sold over two million copies and made Service one of the best-known &T H and wealthiest writers in Canada_ In 1908, Service was trans- ferred to Dawson City and he set- tled in a rustic cabin, which is now a museum. He wrote his first novel here, "The Trail of '98." When it was finished he decided to deliver it per- sonally to his publisher in New York. "We expected you to arrive in mukluks and a parka driving a dog team down Fifth Avenue," exclaimed the publisher, who was surprised to find Service rather unassuming in appearance. Far from the rough and tumble, hard -drinking wom- anizers and scoundrels he immor- talized, Service was a teetotaller and a physical fitness buff. Service returned to the Klondike and wrote another col- lection of verse, "Rhymes of a Watch for the Heritage Minutes on your local television station. For more inforautioa abort the Heritage Project call I -tI M-567.11167 Rolling Stone." In the autumn of 1912, he took the last steam- boat out of Dawson, and never returned. His life remained action - packed. As a reporter, he covered the Balkan War, and during World War One he served as an ambulance driver and as an intel- ligence officer for the Canadian Army. His collection of war poet- ry, "Rhymes of a Red Cross Man," headed the non-fiction best-seller list in 1917 and 1918. Dispelling rumors of his death, Service published at least 10 books, while living comfortably in Monte Carlo and Brittany. In 1958, Canadian television broadcaster Patrick Watson and journalist Pierre Berton inter- viewed the 84 -year-old self- pro- claimed "rhymer" at his villa overlooking the Mediterranean. "Say, wouldn't it be a sensation if I croaked in the middle of this interview?" asked Service with a twinkle in his eye. The Bard of the Yukon died a few months later, leaving a legacy that is the stuff of myth.
