About CBC Program
Earlier this year, the CBC aired a T.V. series (-,The
Valour and the Horror"). Two of the episodes -dealing with
Bomber Command and The Normandy Campaign -have
been the subject of objections from veterans and many
historians.
The film was produced by Galafilm of Montreal (a
privately -incorporated company affiliated with some high-
profile CBC journalists). Perhaps on the assumption that
they could not defend their tt?ecage. the producers began
attacking the messenger.
The CBC officials mounted a major offensive, labelling a
Senate enquiry an "inquisition". A number of senior jour-
nalists supported the CBC. On the other hand, evidence con-
demning the film by some of Canada's leading war
historians never got into the media reports.

pretends to t e an anti -war message. Instead. it is an indict-

In challenging the series• i am using the procedures

and the CRTC. The chances are. however. that our submis-
sions will never make it out of the bureaucratic circles.
Taxpayers' money was channelled to a private company.

75 .And Counting
For 75 years, migratory birds have been protected by the
'.Migratory Birds Convention, signed by Canada and the
United States. It was the first international agreement
designed to manage and protect North America's wildlife
resources. Such protection moved with the times when the
North American Waterfowl '-Managerntera Plan was signed
in 1996 to secure and improve 2.4 million bectares of water-
fowl habitat .. about two-thirds of which are in Canada.
Partnterslups such as these are vital to protecting and im-
proving nature's habitats. and consequently. our own.
Pesticide -Free Flowers :lend Vegetables
Gardening without chemicals is one Aay to do your bit for
the environment. Plant shrubs and flowers which are
favou rtes of the predatory insects and birds which keep the
bad bugs at bay. It that doesn't work, you can try soap, oil -
soap. "bug juice" (extracts from insects which are
creating the problem), Bacillus thuringiensis or other non -
chemical sprays to control infestations, or just use a
floating row cover (very light permeable plastic which ex-
cludes insects). You can also experiment with companion
planting. but just remember that a certain amount of
damage is part of the natural order of things.

Bill Watt's Worlds
AT THE LIMELIGHT:
Don't be put off by the
rather pretentious title.
The Evolution of Jazz. It's
a good, tight show that pro-
mises all that the title im-
plies while eschewing
pretension and delivering
entertainment.
Oh, it's not perfect. For
one thing. Blacks aren't the
sole progenitors of jazz:
there was input after all
from such as, for example.
Eddie Condon, Bix
Beiderbecke. Buddy
Berigan and even. Sauter-
lFinnegan to name just a
few non whites in no
notable chronology.
Neither did jazz evolve
OW of Southern Baptist
prayer meetings. Scottish
Covenanters were praising
the Lord musically long
before the infamous slave
trade that brought Blacks
to America. Come to that.
Jews have always worship-
ped in song.
Even so. and making due
allowance for a too short
performance time frame.
Evolution is a straight for-
ward review that enter-
tains as well as instructs.
Oh my how• it entertains
with music. singing and
dancing.
The singer narrators are
Tanya Rich and Ron Small.
The former is at her best
with the gospel music but
also delivers a fine.
creditable Billie Hioihday
with Good '.Horning. Hear-
tache. The latter nicely
evokes Cab Calloway with
Minnie the Moocher. One
had almost forgotten about
Kickin' the Gong Around
with Smokie who was
cokey. Good stuff: wish he
might include Abe Gezant
in future performances.
The dancers are Karen
Gayle and Arthur Rose.
They're good and watching
them transports those with
memory back to the old
Harvest Moon Balls and
the jitterbug finals. Dam -
mit. just where are our pa-
tent dancing pumps
anyway'
Joe Sealy leads the band
from the keyboards and.
heretical though it night
soul, in our opinion he
does so better than Duke
Ellington and or Count
Basie ever did. One takes
nothing away from the two
gentlemen but their au-
diences wanted to bear
them and they played up
front rather than in sup-
port. Mr. Sealy. can and
does play up front but for
the most part supplies fine
rhythm piano much in the
manner of Fats Waller.
And. he also does an ex-
cellent Albert Ammons
with his Boogie-Woogie.
Rick Donaldson plays
good forties and early fif-
ties stvle drums and the
more exotic percussion is
provided by Kjas, Rick
Lazar and Rudy Williams
•
one of whom looks like
Pharoah Sanders. Doug In-
nis rounds out the rhythm
section with quiet, firm
authority on guitar.
Dougie Richardson plays
excellent saxophone but
sometimes it's hard to take
him seriously since his hair
style makes him look like
Whoopi Goldberg. That
ain't bad mind you, but the
spectacle of Whoopi in
shorts playing sax is just a
tad distracting.
Dave Dunlop is the token
white on trumpet and wails
a mean horn. One of the
numbers is a tribute to the
legendary trumpeter Bud-
dy Bolden. He was said to
have been heard fourteen
miles away when playing.
That's an impossibility of
carie but listening to Mr.
Dunlop. one starts to think.
well maybe.
The Evolution of Jazz is a
good show: maybe even, a
great show. It's most cer-
tainly worth custom. par-
ticularly for those who, like
your writer. know and ap-
preciate good jazz.
Regrettably. it runs only
until August 22nd. So don't
delay your reservations.
Good discounts for parties
of 10 or more.
Opening on August 27th
and running to October 4th
is the popular and clever
revue. Closer Than Ever.
Why it hasn't been record
ed vet is unknown to us. It
most certainly deserves to
be. Having said that, let it
also be noted that. like all
sbows• it's better seen and
bard live. You have been
advised.
Following Closer Than
Ever will be Happy Birth-
day. Al Capone for which

in it that require repeat

What ever the reason.
Evita remains an endur-
ing. perhaps even endear-
ing, favourite.
Then, on August 25th,
Michael Crawford opens
with an evening of Andrew
Loyd Webber music.
We are among the many
who have mentioned that
Loyd Webber seems stingy
with the number of vox pop
melodies in his shows.
There are usually just two,
max. That's not because
the composer is incapable;
it's simply that he's
businessman enough to
realize that his shows are
successful anyway, so w•hy
squander his talent filling
one show with several
ratable melodies when he
can fill several with a few.
Anyway. Mr. Crawford
will be presenting the best
from several shows so that
one is assured of an even-
ing of popular music im-
peccably presented. For
those few, who might be
unaware. Mr. Crawford
was the original Phantom
of Andrew Lloyd Webber's
Opera. We particularly en-
joy his singing of I Want To
Be the First Man You
Remember from Aspects
of Love.
For this producion he will
be accompanied by a 37
piece orchestra and a
choral ensemble of twelve.
This is a fine show•, one
that presents the music of
Andrew Lloyd Webber at
its surprisingly prolific
best.

This local trio is compos-

Wilkins ( bass ), and Al
Cross ( drums) . It plays
straight up blues in a
deceptively straight up

the instrumentation seems
florid, even busy. Musi-
cians and other blues
lovers realize that what one
is hearing are three musi-
cians playing off each other
with instinctive and
respectful confidence.

assuming mastery. Hey

Nightmare Is Hottest
New Game On Market
The hottest new board
game to hit the
marketplace.
Nightmare'.. The Ytdeo
Board Game, was design-
ed, written and directed
over a period of three years
by Brett Cerrhnits and pro-
duced by Phillip Tanner•
partners in the film produc-
tion company, A Couple 'A
Cowboys Pty. Ltd.. located
in Sydney, Australia.
Brett is a graphic artist
with a background in jour-
nalism and Phillip worked
as a freelance actor and
writer. Both met as
reporters on Australia's
highly successful
children's TV program
Wonder World, which won
five Logie Awards during
its eight-year national rue.
After Wonder World, the
two combined under the
company name of A Couple

aginative reworking that

Big Sugar is an
auspicious debut album
and one anticipates future
releases with pleasure.
Just keep it souding sim-
ple, men.
About the only thing that
Toronto's current crop of
ineptitudes on council have
accomplished is the inn -
creasing popularity of the
local gra Bare Naked
Ladies by banning them
from Nathan Phillips
Square.
The group's latest album
Gordon ( Reprise Sire) will
likely go platinum by the
time you read this. The
HMV flagship store on
Yonge Street can barely
keep up with the demand
for it.
We have our review copy
and while not overwhelmed
by it, must say that it's
good, very good.
Trouble is, Barenaked
Ladies are probably no bet-
ter than scores of other
such ensembles but thanks
to Mrs. R. and her cohorts,
they are achieving deserv-
ed recognition.
Thank you Junie. And,
not incidentally, thank you
Barenaked Ladies for pro-
viding us with happy music
we might not otherwise
have encountered.
ON YOUR TOES
Congratulations to
James Kudelka who has
just been announced as Ar-
tist in Residence for the
National Ballet. Best
wishes as well to Pierre
Quinn who has been pro-
moted to Principal Dancer.
We'd be less than
honourable however, if we
did not question the passing
over of Peter Ottmann once
again. One wonders what
this talented young man
must do to achieve Prin-
cipal ranking. One con-
cedes that there might be
valid reasons but they are
not apparent to these orbs.
OBSERVATION:
One wonders if rap danc-
ing would be as popular if
the dancers realized how
much their gyrations look
like those imposed upon
native workers at the dia-
mond mines of South
Africa some years ago.
They were danced naked to
ensure security guards that
no diamonds had been
secreted in the most in-
timate body crevices.
FAST EXIT:
Don't part with your illu-
sions. When they are gone,
you may still exist but you
have ceased to live. Mark

Clozapine, a drug for treating schizophrenia, is to be pro-

Health Minister Frances Lankin has announced.
The drug is intended for patients who cannot tolerate or
are not helped by other drug treatments for schizophrenia.
Although not all patients who try clozapine find it helpful,
studies show that those who do respond often see a
dramatic improvement in quality of life.

Wed. August 12, 1992 THE NEWS%POST Page 7
with Rene Soetens, M.P.
Since the end of World War II, close to 5.5 million people
have immigrated to Canada. Many of them had already
contributed to social security programs in their country of
origin by the time they moved to Canada. It stands to
reason then, that when they take residence in Canada there
must be provisions made to ensure that they are entitled to
their fair amount of retirement income. That is why
Canada has a reciprocal social security agreement with
most nations.
These agreements coordinate the operation of Canada's
Old Age Security program and the Canada Pension Plan
with the comparable programs of another country in order
to: remove restictions that may otherwise prevent Cana-
dians from receiving benefits under the legislation of the
other country; ease or eliminate restrictions on the pay-
ment of social security benefits abroad; eliminate situa-
tions where a worker may have to contribute to the social
sectinty programs of both countries for the same work: and
assist migrants in qualifying for benefits based on the
periods they have lived or worked in each country.
For Canadian senior citizens who receive pension from
Great Britain however, there is a large stumbling block -
Canada has no such agreement with Britain. This means
that their pensions are not indexed. Over time, inflation
seriously erodes the value for Canadian pensioners who
have paid into the British system. Contrarily, those pen-
sioners who still reside in Great Britain have their pensiorss
indexed, and are better able to keep pace with the cosi of
living. I have heard from concerned constituents who are
affected by this unfortunate situation. I. along with the
Government of Canada, share the concern over this
prediamlent.
Recently. I contacted the Honourable Barbara
McDougall. Secretary of State for External Affairs, and the
Honourable Benoit Bouchard. Minister of Health and
R e fare. in order to urge them to vigorously pursue such an
agreernerrt with Britain. Over the years. Canada has
repeatedly tried to negotiate an agreement with Britain to
allow for indexation of pensions. But as yet there have been
no results - the British Govern meat has declined to under-
take negotiations toward a social security agreement,
citing cast as the major barrier. But with the recent British
election and new ministers established in their portfolios. i
feel that this is a good time to renew the effort.
With the number of V4*e who migrate to Canada from
Britain, such a social security agreement is critical. As
long as it does not exist. Canadian pensioners who paid into
the British system are going to receive unfair perston
payments. The government must work to ensure that this
does not continue.

drug testing in the workplace will be one of the most con-
t"wermal is tx to tabour relatwris in the nineties.
Bruce Onirtingham, senior program consultant for
Workforce Health Programs across Ontario. and Startin
Shain. head of the Foundation's Workplace Program, are
two of the authors of the ARF's new updated gwdelinec.
"Best Advice on Drug Testing in the Workplace: RTter'e to
Draw the Une
"Drug testing was controversial when we developed our
first set of guidelines four years ago," says Cunningham,
"and the issue certainly isn't going away. In fact, both
employers and workers are giving more attention to the im-
pact of drug abuse on job safety and performance...
According to Foundation statistics, about 10 percent of
(kltarlo adults have a drinking problem.
"There's no doubt that the costs of excessive drinking aur
high." says Cunningham. "Heavy consumers of alcohol and
Other drugs are km,^ -n to have between two and three times
the rate of absenteeism and accidents experienced by
'average' employees. Other costs are harder to measure--
like lost productivity. poor morale and discipline."
Dick Barr. vice-president of ARF administration, says
those figures have contributed to the growing practice of
drug testing by- employers.
'One of the highest -profile examples, of course, is
Transport Canada, which announced a drug testing policy
last year that would apply to about 25o.ono workers. And a
recent ARF survey found that twenty percent of Canadian
transportation firms with more than 100 exmpioyees had
some form of drug testing. While another 20 percent were
planning such programs." says Barr. "That's a significant
number for what is essentialh• a highly invasive activity."
The Foundation recommends against mass or random
alcohol and drug screening for all employees or job ap-
plicants, and says scientific evidence of a link between drug
use and workplace accidents is inconclusive.
Alcohol and drug testing should be considered only when
an employee's on-the-job behaviour provides reasonable
grounds to believe he is impaired by drugs or alcohol.
Random tests for alcohol only may be justified for safety -
sensitive positions in which workers are unsupervised. 4n
alcohol breathalyzer or blood test can indicate impairment
while a drug test cannot tell whether the individual is "fit"
for work, only that he or she has used the drug recently.)
An employee with a confirmed positive test should be
referred to an Employee Assistance Program for assess-
ment and, if requited, treatment.
The current legal climate appears to permit few in-
stances in which drug tests are likely to be considered
lawful, or in which medical exams as part of the initial job
application process would not appear to contravene the pro-
vince's Human Rights legislation.
Barr says the ARF's Hest Advice on Drug Testing in the
Workplace is likely to become a key resource for lawyers,
union representatives. Employee Assistance Program con-
sultants and other people involved in workplace policy.
"We field a lot of calls at the Foundation about drug
testing." he says. "People want to know whether these tests
are legitimate."

Homemade Bus Can
Reduce Environment Impact
Because they displace millions of single -passenger com-
muter vehicles every day. diesel -powered buses are used
throughout North America and around the world to help
reduce the environmental impact of transportation. At the
same time, however, scientists are working to develop
alternatives to the large, noisy. fume -spewing diesels that
have become the staple of most transit systems today.
Mississauga -based Ontario Bus Industries l OBI t is a
recognized world leader in the development of innovative
energy technology. The company recently received 3159.0o0
in assistance from the Ministry of Energy's EnerSearch
program and additional support from the Ontario Ministry
of Transportation and the State of New Fork for work that
could lead to the development of North America's first
"hybrid" electric, natural gas bus.
The EnerSearch program promotes increased com-
petitiveness in Ontario industries through energy efficien-
cy. It provides up to $500,000 per project in support of
research, development, testing and technical demonstra-
tion of new energy technologies that have significant poten-
tial - both in Ontario and elsewhere. The OBI hybrid bus
project is an excellent example.
The company's hybrid bus is designed to operate on elec-
tricity provided by a small natural gas engine generator
set. Large storage batteries supplement the small engine
during acceleration and are charged up when the bus is
stopped.
The prototype vehicle now being tested is expected to con-
sume about 10 percent less fuel than conventional diesels,
and to reduce pollutants by as much as 50 percent. That
could make a big environmental difference, particularly in
major urban centres where hundreds of buses are in daily
operation, and where public transit is expected to become
even more important in the future.

"We will be using the seven
;major hotels in the City,"
comments Hull. "Every ef-
fort will be made to locate
athletes close or adjacent
to the venue they will be
participating at."
The cities tourist accom-
modation will be put to the
test during the Games with
700 rooms used by athletes
and many others by
parents, friends and en-
thusiasts. Once the athletes
are in comfortable accom-
modation we must then en-
sure they are well fed and
in an appropriate location.

star line-up of lively ac-
tivities for kids. ..an l On-
tario's first-ever five pin
Bowling Camp. Fun, in-
timate and relaxed. this
four day. total immersion
experience is the perfect
way for kids to increase
their impact at the lanes.
From July 23. to 26.
eighty-eight teens selected
from bowling leagues
across Ontario polished
their skills on the lanes at
Sherwood Centre in
Hwr Ilton with the best five
pin instructors in the pro-
vince. . .and taste life in
residence as they stay
overnight at McMaster
L niversity .
Training fir &be Fast Law
An action packed adven-
ture awaits the province's
bowling champions of
tomorrow. Split into small
groups of four. boys and
girls aged 13 to 19 will
receive intensive training
from the experts in the key
elements of the game. Lots
of lane time. hands-on in-
structianm video-tapang for
visual aid, prize-vnming
tournaments and
.'gauntlet" competitions,
in which the instructors
join in, are features of the
train event.
Presented by the Ontario
Five Pin Bowlers' Associa-
tion. the Youth Bowling
Council and the Master
Bowlers' Association, the
Bowling Camp offers an op-
portunity to learn the finer
points of teamwork, par-
ticipation and healthy com-
petition in a game they can
play for the rest of their
lives.
Walter Heeney, Ex-
ecutive Director of the
Master Bowlers' Associa-
tion and a camp organizer.
says, "Bowling Camp will
highlight the unique
pleasures of five pin bowl-
ing and encourage young
people's increased exper-
tise. We were inspired to in-
itiate this venture by
similar schools in Western
Canada, where there's a
strong interest in the game.
Special features of the
camp, such as a twenty -
minute video tape, recor-
ding each bowler's pro-
gress, will help to improve
the level of individual per-
formance and
nthusiasm."
Jack Fine, President of
Bowlerama Ltd. - Canada's
largest chain of bowling
centres with 21 locations
across Southern Ontario -
and a strong supporter of
the camp, agrees. "Bowl-
ing is an ideal sport for
kids. It's affordable, re-
quires no fancy equipment
and focuses on team play-
ing. And. as with every
sport. improved skill is in-
trinsic to continued enjoy-
ment of the game. Bowling
Camp is such a great idea -
cornhbining fun with inten-
si ve training. kids will pro-
grecs quickly and comfor-
tably at their own levels."

Pinned Down in History
Today's young bowlers
may be surprised to learn
they're upholding a tradi-
tion that traces its origins
back to ancient Egypt.
What may have been bowl-
ing's first balls and pins
were discovered in a
child's tomb, dating back
to 5,2110 B.C. Even earlier,
caveman are believed to
have entertained
themselves by rolling rocks
to knock down primitive
pans -
But the beginning of five
pin bowling - a sport Cam-
dians can truly can their
own - is easier to pin -point.
In 1909, Toronto's Tommy
Ryan. owner of Ryan's
Temperance Street bowl-
ing centre. realized his
customers were�g-
ed when they couldn't
pkte a tenpin game at hm.-
chtime. So he removed half
the pins and designed a
smaller ball to lighten the
load an the lanes.
The sport grew in
popularity as five pin cen-
tres popped up across the
country. By the 1950s. bel..: l-
ing was really hot.
Today is no exception, as
people look for refreshing
sports alternatives for
relaxation and escape from
the stresses of their busy.

competitive lives.

Good news stories from the 1Ninistry of Energy
Helps Soo Hatchery
Steel making and sport fishing have always been impor-
tant to Sault Ste. Marie's economy - and these two seeming-
ly strange bedfellows are now closer than ever.
The Soo's municipal fish hatchery uses a lot of heated
water in the process of raising young fish. The fish are
stocked in nearby lakes and rivers to help ensure that good
i. ping continues to support the area's tourist -related
economy.
Located close to the hatchery are large settling basins,
containing leftover hot water that's been used by Algoma
Steel. Instead of continuing to let the company's surplus hot
water go to waste, the City of Sault Ste. Marie is now saving
more than $44,000 a year in energy costs by pumping the
water in the settling basins through a heat exchanger, and
using the reclaimed heat to warm the water at the fish hat-
chery.
The energy-efficient project cost $100,000 with $0,000 in
assistance from the Ministry of Energy. As part of its ef-
forts to make Ontario more energy-efficient, the ministry
assists demonstrations of new energy-efficient
technologies, designs and practices that could be adopted
widely throughout the province.
At the Soo's fish hatchery, the heat exchange system is
going swimmingly. The project is helping to reduce both the
amount of heat released into the local environment and the
provincial demand for new energy supplies. And the city's
success is typical of what towns and cities all across On-
tano can accomplish. The Ministry of Energy. together
with partners such as Ontario Hydro, local gas and elec-
tricity utilities, oil suppliers and energy service companies,
is determined to help promote more of these kinds of energy
savings in towns, cities, businesses and homes all across
the province.

On May 16, 1913, while
Ping up newspapers for

lives through their
teaching and co mselling of
youth within a voluntary
church setting and have, as
well, volunteered many
hours of hospitality to
adults and youth alike.

Roaming The Beaches
In The British Virgins
In the British Virgin
Islands, there is a beach to
suit every mood; you can
socialize or be completely
alone; dance until the sun
sets over Jost Van Dyke or
lazily snorkel above colour-
ful reefs; body surf in
thunderous waves or float
placidly in still water as
warm as a bath. Roam the
beaches of the British
Virgin Islands and you'll
find at least one that will
keep calling you back.
TORTOLA
Smugglers Cove - Lies at
the westernmost end of
Tortola. It is secluded,
sheltered, serene and hard
to reach. The road is un-
paved. but passable. The
water is so warm and clear
you'll feel, when floating in
it, like you've returned to
the womb, a world away
from the crashing surf of
Apple Bay. Snorkeling off
both points is good, and
sometimes you can spot
sea turtles swimming
along close by.
I,eng Bao is a mile long
stretch of white sand
beach, perfect for a tran-
quil sunset walk. Long Bay.
Beach Resort and several
guest houses line the
eastern portion of the
beach. The western end. fr-
inged with a palm grove
and seagrapes, offers
greater solitude and ex-
cellent swimming.
Apple Bay is just over the
hill from Long Say. Her
on any day in season you
can see at least a dozen
surfers searching for that
perfect wave. But it's not
just the reliability and sine
of the waves that draws
surfers from all over the
world While in Apple Bay.
you'll probably meet Bom-
bes. the proprietor of Bom-
ha's Surfside Shack, who
makes a wicked ruin punch
and throws full noon par-
ties in his artfully
decorated. ramshackle hit
on the beck. Just a few
steps away, in front of
Sebastian's Hotel, the
waves are somewhat
calmer and excellent for
body surfing. If you stay on
until evening, there often
are fish fries around the
corner at Romeo's or under
the banyan trees accom-
panied by live local music.
Next door is the Apple,
which is located in a colour-
ful West Indian house and
serves candlelit Caribbean -
style meals.
Cane Garden Bay, central-
ly located on Tortola's
north side, is a long, lovely,
curved bay sheltered from
heavy wind, making it a
favoured anchorage for
boaters. Attracting both
tourists and residents, you
can find every conceivable
activity there: boating,
windsurfing, water skiing
and swimming; several
locally -owned restaurants
and bars; and island music
at Quito's, De wedding,
Paradise Club. Rhymer's
and Stanley's several
nights a week. Relax at one
of these places and chat
with beach aficionados.
Brewers Bay. once the site
of several sugar planta-
tions and distilleries
(hence its name) is just
around the eastern point by
boat or over a steep hill by
car from Cane Garden.
You can still see nuns on
the beach and along the
road going out of the bay to
town. In winter, the cam-
pground there is horse to
an interesting group of
travellers who return year
after year. Even when the
campground is full, you'll
only find a few folks on the
beach. In summer there is
complete solitude. The
water offers some of the
best snorkelling on the
island because of its many
reefs: but it can change
abruptly from glassy calm
to churning waves, great
for body surfing.
Elizabeth Beach has only
recently been made ac-
cessible by car. On many
days you will be the only
one here. although this
beach is fast becoming a
favourite of residents
because of its beauty and
fine white powder sand.
You must drive through
private land to reach the
water, but all B. V. I.'s
beaches are public and
open to everyone.
Legg Bay. Beef Island, off
the easternmost tip of Tor-
tola and next to the airport.
offers beach connoisseurs
another totally uninhabited
beach. You can catch the

enough) rising behind
Camanoe Island and
Marina Cay, short boat
rides away. In ander not to
disturb nesting terns. it is
best to go around the
ineigtnbouaing salt pond -
and not, (on days that it is
dry) over it.
VIRGIN GORDA
The Baths, a ferry ride
away from Tortola, is by
far the most visited beach
in the B. V. I. Giant bonders
form a series of pools and
grottoes which flood with
sea water, creating a uni-
que setting to swim and ex-
plore. Snorkeling along the
edges of the boulders
reveals an area rich in col-
ourful fish and coral. And
although the Baths are
popular even in the off-
season, the sight is
breathtaking; no one
should miss it.
Spring Bay. neighbouring
the Baths, is also a special
beach on which to swim or
snorkel. Or lie upon one of
the huge granite boulders
that line the water's edge
and soak up the sun while
you gaze at the turquoise
water and incomparable
view.
Trunk Bay is one of the
series of spectacular white
sand beaches that line
Virgin Gorda's western
shore. Bordered by a
private estate and a palm
grove, Trunk Bay can be
reached by boat or along a

During my last term of office, one of my priorities was to

crime in our area.
Scarborough Highland Creek is located within Metro
Police Division No. 42 which covers an area of 127.2 square

this suggestion is to encourage car pooling between persons

to be able to come up with an
idea to keep there busy on a
rainy day, and you haven't lived
until you've come home from
work to find your wife and kids
pretending to be- raindrops.
Anyway, visiting her cousin

The lfydro gave Em the idea to
put together a little talk for Ute
kids about electrical safety. It
wasn't hard to do, since she got
-some information from The

Hydro rep covered three main
areas of concern with kids and
electricity.
First, you have to remind
youngsters old enough to read
and 41x: out on their own 10 slay
away from areas marked "Keep
Out', or "Danger", alid to never
poke or push things into electri-
cal equipment or outlets.
.Mother thing, she said, is to
warn your kid, abxul Itte
of touching ewer line,. II ku�
or things like model airpl.1nes
touch overhead lines, kids can
he h:Klly injured by just touch-
ing the strings or control wires.
Also, kiols love to climb.
Climbing hydro poles, towers,
fences and surrounding electri-
cal cyuipment or trees is really
dangerous: kids can fall, or
touch a wire and he injured or
killed.
If you have a pool, Em said
there are some other hazards
you and your kids should know
about. For imtarice, if you use a
long -handled pool skimmer,
keep it clear of any overhead
wire and move electric radios,
TVs, clocks and other appli-
ances well away from the water.
