What's Happening?
by Bob Watson
These days seem awfully different than what we usually
expect in the middle of May. First, we have the worst
weather conditions for a spring time that we've ever seen.
Has nobody found out why we have this weather?
The Liberals held a national party meeting last week and
one of the discussions was about whether the government
should pass laws recognizing couples of the same sex as an
official marriage the same as a normal husband and wife
couple that we have had for thousands of years. The
Liberals at the party meeting voted against that idea,
which most Canadians will be happy to hear. Now will the
Liberals in the House of Commons still vote for the new kind
of couple' Away back in Trudeau's time, the Liberal
government voted against capital punishment after citizen
voters wanted capital punishment by an 85% majority.
The enthusiasm of the weekend went to the Toronto
Maple Leafs after they defeated the Sante Fe Sharks to
trove on to the next phase of the hockey playoffs. Many
local residents demonstrated their joy at the seventh game
win and expressed their enthusiasm for hours.
Last Sundav manv East Yorkers and North Yorkers went
to the Don River to plant trees and observe others who were
navigating down the Don River by boat. With all this tree
planting. the future of this region may be quite different
than before.
Next weekend is Queen Victoria's Day on Monday caus-
ing us to remember past history on May 24th. It is an in-
teresting time of the year - but where is that beautiful
weather we've corse to expect'
Removes Visitor Visa
Requirement For Koreans
:Minister of Citixenstup and Immigration. Sergio Marchhi,
has announced that citizens at the Republic of Korea will no
longer be required to obtain visitor visas in order to visit
Canada.
*,The proposed amendment to the Immigration Regula-
tions will encourage travel between South Korea and
Canada." the Minister said. "Specifically, this change will
enhance business and economic transactions as well as pro-
moting cultural exchanges between the two countries.'.
..Citizens of South Korea do not generally pose immigra-
tion control problems and have become frequent visitors to
Canada for trade and tourism. Additionally, recent changes
to South Korean passport issuance procedures ensure that
the Korean passport cannot easily be used by citizens of
other countries for illegal travel to Canada.- W. Marchi
noted.
The !Minister stated that his decision follows approval by
South Korea for Canadian Immigration officials to access
Kimpo Airport in Seoul to help airline personnel in
documenting screening of travellers to Canada.
,-The co-operation between our department and South
Korean officials has been outstanding and we look forward
to further collaboration with them on issues of concern to
both our countries,- Mr. Marchi said.
The number of South Korean visitors to Canada in 1993
was 35,353. A total of 3.553 South Koreans immigrated to
Canada last year, two-thirds of whom were entrepreneurs,
investors and self-employed business immigrants.

National referendums are rare
In Canada.
There is one question loom-
ing on the horizon, however,
which urgently needs to be put
lo a national vote. The question
is crucially inportant and its reso-
lution will affect wtually every
Canadian.
The question is this: are Ca-
nadians prepared to do what is
required to avoid a national debt
crisis?
Make no mistake: without
concerted action a debt crisis is
cartrrg. A large and growing
body of economic exparls agree
that it is not a question of if it will
cone but when.
8y the erid of next March. the
combined deW of the federal and
provincial governments will be
larger than the entire scow"
— more than IW% of GDP or
well over $700 bAkx, Of all
maim industrialized countries.
Canada now has to largest lor-
sign debt relaliw to the aize of

Whars wase. our political

able to do anytirg about this
debt problem. On rte contrary

These factors alone — with-

bec accession — make taeign
invesbrs extremely nervous.
National Vote
on Debt Crisis
Needed
This is important because they
hold 45% of the federaVprovin-
ciel government debt.
As Canada's fiscal situation
continues to deteriorate, Inter-
est rates will continue to rise.
Higher interest rates w17 haft the

Deficits will increase and so will
interest costs.
This process is known as a
debt spiral. Very quickly — per-
haps soon — C anada would face
a ki14Aown debt crisis.
At that point, Canada's gov-
ernments would have to make
draconian cuts to the size and
cost of government which would
be very painful and cause enor-
mous dislocation.
The longer the govenxr+ents

tion becomes and the more pain-

First Quarter Activity Unprecedented
For the first time in many years, demand outpaced supply
in virtually every price range in Toronto's buoyant housing
market, according to the Spring 1994 issue of the Rova)
LePage ..Survey of Canadian House Prices".
"The activity we experienced during January to March
was unprecedented," says Gino Romanese, Royal LePage
Vice President k Regional Manager. " C*n•iouisly. record low
mortgage rates, government incentive programs. and
attractive house prices helped to prompt potential buyers to
enter the housing market. But, increasing consumer
confidence levels acroms the board were largely responsible
for the pickup in activity."
Recent hikes in mortgage rates have served to somewhat
dampen enthusiasm, but the lull in activity has provided an
opportunity to replenish the housing supply. The number a
homes listed for sale has dropped quite significantly over the
pact three months.
New Visa Regulations
The Hon. Sergio Marchi. Minister of Citizenship and Im-
migration, has announced that certain travellers are no
longer required to have a Canadian transit visa. This
change applies to people with a U.S. visitor visa travelling
on flights to or from the United States which stop to re -fuel
in Canada. The change was effective as of May 1, 1994.
Mr. Marchi also confirmed that as of Mav 1, 1994, citizens
of the Repubic of South Korea with a valid passport are no
longer required to obtain a visitor visa when visiting

The Learning Partnership's
First Conference
Breakthrough and
Beyond '94, organized by
the Learning Partnership.
brought together over 700
of Metro's business, educa-
tion and community
leaders to discuss the con-
cept of learning partner-
ships at a full day con-
ference held at the
Sheraton Parkway Hotel in
Richmond Hill on Apr.
16th.
The fust of its kind in
Metro Toronto, the con-
ference centred around
rebuilding the community,
starting with public and
separate education, involv-
ing the many different
groups which have a stake
in Metro's publicly funded
educational systems.
"One of the primary jobs
for schools will be helping
children cope with
change, said Joan Green,
Director of the Toronto
Hoard of Education, in her
morning address to con-
ference participants.
"Issues facing education
for the 21st century are far
too complex for one group
of adults, that is educators,
to handle entirely on their
own."
Responding to Joan
Green's challenge, Tony
Comper, President and
Chief Operating Officer of
Bank of Montreal, outlined
the growing urgency for
businesses to play a sup-
porting role in education.
"Our collective job is to
show by our thoughts,
words and actions that we
intend to improve the
system - and that we are
gang to help young people
turn the system to their ad-
vantage ..
..We have a responsibili-
ty for all of our rhildren,"
said Gorton Cressy, Presi-
dent of The Learning Part-
nership. His final words to
conference attendees ex-
plained the important role
The Learning Partnership
will take. "What The Part-
nership means. in the final
analysis, is people coming
together for the future of
our children."
The Learning Partner-
ship was founded in May
1993 to serve as a coor-
dinating organization,
broker and catalyst for
partnership programs bet-
ween business and the ten
public school boards in
Metro Toronto. In addition
to school boards, The Lear-
ning Partnership's
membership includes large
corporations, small
businesses and community
service groups, all sharing
a common interest in fin-
ding solutions to current
issues in education.

Honour Those Conservation Supporters
The Metropolitan Toron-
to and Region Conservation
Authority (MTRCA)
recognized three in-
dividuals, two corporations
and the Don Watershed
Task Force for outstanding
efforts in the cause of con-
servation at its Arbor Day
ceremony at Black Creek
Pioneer Village on Apr.
22nd.
L.C. Jean Agnew has
been closely associated
with Black Creek Pioneer
Village since its beginning
as the Dalziel Pioneer Park
in 1954. In 1988, the last
piece of the original Dalziel
farmstead, still in the fami-
ly, was sold to the Conser-
vation Authority.
Jean allowed the
Authority to purchase this
valuable parcel of land and
donated the furnishings.
She has since made
substantial donations to the
Black Creek general fund
and The Conservation
Foundation of Greater
Toronto for the restoration
and care of the Dalziel
home and barn.
William A Dempsey has
long advocated public ac-
cess to the waterfront and
preservation of the Centen-
nial Creek. As early as
1949, he recommended
preservation of the water-
front from Highland Creek
to the Rouge River.
Mr. Dempsey worked
toward the use of Toronto
Islands as public
greenspace and, foreseeing
urban development in
Scarborough, advocated
that the city purchase and
plant trees on the Adams
farm.
As a result, Adams Park
is now a favorite spot for
public use in all seasons.

Trees For
Canada
Trees for Canada is a
Canada -wide environmen-
tal program designed to
give all members of Scouts
Canada the opportunity to
demonstrate, through ac-
tion, their concern for their
country -
In future years the
millions of trees (over 45
million trees since 1972 and
increasing by 3.5 million a
year) will help beautify
Canada and provide a
renewable resource. The
members involved receive
practical training in con-
servation and reforestation
and they will see the results
of their work for years to
come.
Trees for Canada is also
a fundraising project. The
funds raised have been us-
ed to help further Scouting
in our community and to
develop campsites. Some
of the money is used to sup-
port international Scout
programs designed to help
Scouts in Third World coun-
tries learn about "village
technology" so they can
help their families and
communities. Learning
about fish farming, plan-
ting trees on the edge of the
Sahara, learning trades -
these ae examples of pro-
jects Scouts have under-
taken in the past few years.
This year, it is expected
that Canadian Scouts will
plant core to 3.5 million
trees 600,000 in Ontario
alone. Support your local
Scouts for the months of
April, May and June when
they celebrate more than
20 years of planting Trees
for Canada.

Flying Saucers Are Real
"Flying Saucers Are
Real" is the title of an il-
lustrated lecture to be
presented by nuclear
physicist, Stanton T. Fried-
man at 7:45 p.m. on Fri.
Mav 26, at The Ontario In-
stitute for Studies in
Education Auditorium. The
program is open to the
public and is being spon-
sored by MUFON Ontario.
Tickets are $20 and can be
obtained in advance by
calling (416) 249-0933 or
( 416) 932 -Ml or at the
door.
Since 1968, Mr. Friedman
has spoken at more than
500 colleges and dozens of
professional groups in 9
provinces and 50 states in
the US. He has appeared on
hundreds of radio and tv
programs. His recent book
..Crash At Corona" about
the recovery of 2 crashed
UFOs in Roswell, New
Mexico in 1947 is already in
its 4th Printing'
His unique professional
background includes BS
and MS degrees in physics
from the University of
Chicago and 14 years of in-
dustrial experience in the
development of a wide
variety of advanced
nuclear and space systems
such as nuclear airplanes,
fission and fusion rockets
and nuclear systems for
space applications. His
past employers include
General Electric,
Westinghouse, TRW, and
General Motors. He
belongs to numerous pro-
fessional groups for space
scientists and ufologists.
"After more than 35
years of study and in-
vestigation, I am convinc-
ed that the world-wide
evidence is overwhelming
that some UFOs are in-
telligently controlled
vehicles originating in
other solar systems. Now
of the skeptical arguments
stand up under careful
scrutiny. Documents have
recently emerged proving
that the US and other
governments have been
covering up this Cosmic
Whitewatergate. For-
tunately a whole new
generation of professionals
in many disciplines is get-
ting involved in lifting the
laughter and security cur-
tains," said the 59 year old
scientist now living in
Fredericton, New
Brunswick, Canada.
Mr. Friedman's lecture
will cover 5 large scale
scientific studies, The Ma-
jestic 12 document, Air
Force data not generally
discussed, crashed and
retrieved saucers, saucer
landings and earthling ab-
ductions by aliens, travel to
the stars, the arguments of
such sceptics as Dr. Carl
Sagan (a former
classmate), and the pro-
bable star system or origin
of some UFOs.
About 60 slides will il-
lustrate his program which
will be followed by a ques-
tion and answer session. He
is interested in receiving
reports of UFO sightings
and landings.
Mr. Friedman will be
available for interviews
and guest appearances. He
can be reached at
506-457-0232 at any time.

All About Ikebana
"Ikebana" is known to
people as a traditional art
of flower arranging, born
and cultivated in Japan.
This art is typically
Japanese representing the
time honoured tradition of
Japan.
There have been flower
arrangements decorating
the alters of Shinto and
Buddhist temples in an-
cient times. The flower ar-
rangements as they were
cannot be called
Ikebana". In short, we
may set the point of depar-
ture of "Ikebana" at the
time when there arose a
clear intention to decorate
the living environment
with flowers and to ap-
preciate them by adding
various ideas.
The forma of "Ikebana"
vary according to the age
and character of the artist.
The essence, however. lies
constant and this is namely
the spirit or idea of
''Brobaina". if--ywr esme
across an arrangement not
agreeable or old fashioned
to you, it is not the spirit
but the characteristic of
that particular arrange-
ment or school that does
not match your taste.
The spirit under which
the Sogetsu School was
born was to create
••11kebana" that matches
actual life, somedu that
deserves the name of art. It
is to be fresh, vital, and
dynamic. Various poses of
flowers and trees in their
infinite beauty, variable
according to the seasons,
abundant creative ideas
and the beauty of vessels in
their environment: these
three elements combined
make the "Ikebana" of the
Sogetsu School
Sofu Teshigahara was
the founder of the Sogetsu
School in the early 19th cen-
tury. The spirit through art
moved with the times and
has been a true reflection
of the new Japan. Mr.
Teshigahara named the
school ''Sogetsu", the
Chinese characters mean-
ing Grass -Moon, an art
which encompasses the
openness of the universe.
There are branches and
study groups of Sogetsu
School all over the world. It
started in Toronto under
the leadership of Mrs.
Kyoko Abe, who received
her training and teaching
diplomas in Japan. The
members of the Sogetsu
Ikebana Toronto East
Branch are from many
cultural backgrounds but
share the common interest.
They have been studying
Sogetsu Ikebana and form-
ed the group to further
their knowledge by having
workshops. exchanging ex-
periences and sharing their
creations at the annual
flower show. It takes years
of study and practice. As
one accomplishes one step.
there is yet another to be
discovered. With a few
flowers and a few bran-
ches, one must team to
create a masterpiece in
art- Truly an enjoyable
lifetime hobby!
For information about
classes or activities of the
Sogetsu Ikebana Toronto
East Branch, call Mrs.
Kyoko Abe, c 4161 481-7705.

Metro Council Approves Culture Plan - First of Its Kind
Metro Council gave its
seal of approval to a new
Culture Plan on May 4th -
the first plan of its kind.
Developed after more
than two years of public
consultation, research and
discussion, Metro's Culture
Better
Safer
Holiday
The first long weekend of
summer is at hand. If your
plans include firing up the
barbecue and inviting
friends over for a party
where drinks are served,
the Scarborough Health
Department can help you
have a 'Better Safer' time.
Suzy Rosenstein, Health
Promotion Officer with the
Health Department, says
that a Better Safer event
means a party where the
hosts take action to lower
the risk of alcohol pro-
blems, including potential
law suits. She says. "Being
sued can ruin even the best
party. Hosts are as respon-
sible for their guests as bar
owners. If, for example, a
get at your party has a
few too many drinks and
burls someone on their way
Dome, you may be liable.
As the host. this is true
even if your party was a
BYOB party and you didn't
serve the drinks yourself."
If you plan to serve
alcohol at your party.
especially high -alcohol
beer. Rosenstein says you
may want to think again
and adds. "There is actual-
ly a huge safety concern
about high alcohol beer
with an alcohol content of
more than 5.6 per cent.
"Corhsrhmers, especially
teenagers. will drink these
products like regular beer.
And this is the problem. If
you drink the same number
of bottles of high-akolhol
beer as regular beer, your
level of impairment will be
significantly higher...
Rosenstein gives this ex-
ample: Iabatt's Maximum
Ice is 7.1 per cent alcohol -
that's 42 per cent more
alcohol than "regular
beer". A 150 pound man
who consumes eight bottles
of Maximum Ice in four
hours (typical for young
males) will still be legally
unfit to drive 12 hours after
his last drink- A 14o pound
femal drinking two bottles
of 7.1 per cent beer in one
hour would be legally over
the limit too. Both could be
charged with impaired
driving.
Take note, a 7.1 per cent
beer is equivalent to 1.4
regular drinks while a
"light" beer, at three per
cent alcohol, is equivalent
to about two-thirds of a
regular drink.
There are precautions
hosts can take to avoid pro-
blems. The Scarborough
Health Depoartment's Six -
Pack Party Pack is a free
kit available to anyone
working or living in Scar-
borough. Included in the
pack are six key items to
help plan a Better Safer
party -
"There are recipes for
alcohol -free drinks. "Bet-
ter Safer" coasters with
practical tips to lower your
risk for having problems
with alcohol, a "no drink-
ing and driving" fridge
magnet listing local cab
numbers, information
about legal responsibility
and even a surprise item,"
says Rosenstein.
Phone 396-4228 for more
information and to order
the Six -Pack.
Plan represents the first
comprehensive review of
Metropolitan cultural
policy since 1974. Intended
to update the cultural
policies of Canada's largest
municipality, the plan sets
our recommendations and
strategies aimed at ensur-
ing that the cultural life of
the Metro Toronto com-
munity flourishes.
"The purpose of the plan
is to provide council and
department and agency
heads with a framework
for the development and
analysis of cultural policies
and programs," says
Metro Chairman Alan
Tonks. "The bottom line is
ensuring that Metro Toron-
to has a vibrant, active and
healthy cultural life."
The plan contains major
findings on the cultural sec-
tor in Metro Toronto and
the role Metro government
plays. It aims at improving
coordination of Metro's
cultural policies and pro-
grams so that this impor-
tant sector can be managed
in the most effective and ef-
ficient way possible.
Metro staff will continue
with the next step, im-
plementation of the various
recommendations contain-
ed in the plan, including
strategies for heritage,
cultural industries,
cultural support and public
art.

Plan, call the Cultural Af-
fairs Division at 39248674 or

North York "Celebrates The Don"
North York helped
"Celebrate the Don" on
Sun. May 15, with numerous
activities that took place
throughout the Don River
watershed. Everything
from community clean up
projects to paddling down
the river were planned in an
effort to raise awareness for
the Don.
"The main focus on
"Celebrate the Don Day"
was to encourage the
participation and support of
the community in our effort
to regenerate and enjoy this
important natural
resource" said Councillor
David Shiner, member of
the Don Watershed Task
Force and member of the
North York Environment
Committee.
The Don Watershed Task
Force was created in 1992 to
study and adopt strategies
designed to restore the Don
River.
In support of this
worthwhile project, the City
of North York formed a
special "Olympic Canoe
Team" to participate in the
paddle down the Don.
Members of the "Olympic
Team" included Councillor
David Shiner and Councillor
Don Yuill; City of North
York staff, John Hollins,
Steve Miller and Linda
Sellers -Cross; and North
York resident, Kay
Worthington (double gold
medallist in the Barcelona
Olympics) .
Dressed in frill viking
attire the "Olympic Team"
began the battle of the
paddle at 10 a.m. from
Serena Gundy Park. The
journey took 2.5 hours and
ended at Harbourfront
where the day's activities
peaked at 2 p.m. with a
parade and official
ceremonies honouring the
completed report from the
Don Watershed Task Force.

Premiere Dance Theatre).
The exhibition officially
opens with a reception in
the Queen'sQuay Gallery on
Thurs. May 26 from 5 to 8
p.m.
Sixty high schools from
Vancouver, Toronto,
Ottawa and Montreal have
participated in this annual
photography project.
Students were presented
with the challenge of
capturing a photographic
image reflecting the theme
"Images Of Who We Are".
The result is a presentation
of sincere and powerful
visual statements. Over 280
black and white images in
the exhibition allow viewers
a very candid glimpse into
the world of today's teens: a
world of fun, frivolity, pain
and darkness.
Besides the strength of
the individual images, what
makes this exhibition
especially unique is the fact
that the images are chosen
by the students themselves.
The exhibit is not a contest.
As a class, the students images decide which ages they
feel best represent
themselves and the work
they are doing. An image
may be chosen because of
its technical merit or
creative substance - either
way they are chosen by
student peers.

REVISIT:
The biggest problem with
long running shows is that
the principals and the rest
of the cast can go one of two
ways depending upon per-
sonal discipline and or con-
tinuing tight direction.
They can become stale or
they can mature. After
viewing the fust anniver-
sary performance of Miss
Saigon at the P.O.W. it's
pleasurable to report that
maturity is the order of the
day. In fact. the stow has
gone up several notches in

sonal listing of the current
top five presentations in

to brilliance. Ma -Anne

de facto and unwilling Miss
Saigon Butterfly is now
more than a girl. she's a
universal mother. Melissa
Thomson as the American
wife of Chris Pinkerton
has become a matron
rather than a bride.
Charles Azulay, as Kim's
intended husband, is now a
more sympathetic though
still menacing character.
The weakest perfor-
mance had been that of
Chris. the lover of ":His
Saigon". The role has now
been assigned to Kevin
McIntyre and the dif-
ference in impact is
palpable. His Black buddy
is now played by %orm
Lewis and his portrayal
continues fidelity to the
role ....a roan of cons-
cience.

against the possibility of

will see Tommy at the
Elgin Theatre starting in
January '95.
It's intended to feature a
30 member Canadian cast.
The national search begins
this summer.

FOR EXCELLENCE
Our late father
emigrated from Scotland to
Elora at the suggestion of a
cousin who's name mer-
cifully escapes us. Though
in later years Pater con-
ceded that the then
family's time there (we
were conceived later) was
a happy one. he initially
labelled it penal servitude.
Times change and Elora
with its Festival has now
become a rather tony
beacon of cultural
endeavour. A good thing,
too. since it has little else
going for it other than a
scenic beauty shared with
most other Ontario com-
munities.
At the recent Chalmers
Awards ceremonies for ex-
cellence in Canadian
theatre we were pleased to
learn that Continuum Con-
temporary
oo-temporary Music was a
major winner for its
presentation of an opera
about Florence Nightingale
and her lover manque at
the Elora Festival.
MONE PROBU2MS9.
Other winners are listed
elsewhere but allow us to
advise the four Canadian
Play Awards in order for
readers to realize the
diversity of choice
available to playgoers.
They are The Life and
Times of McKenzie King.
The Last Supper, The
Mothers of Plaza de Mayo
and Fronteras
Americanas. Ole for
cultural diversity eh.
One applauds the
Chalmers Awards but, for
the record, we have some
reservations about the
selection process for best
plays. We were talking to
one of the judges after the
opening of Assassins and
he could see nothing
distasteful about the sub-
ject matter.
Mind you, in view of the
fact that he was wearing a
red lame Aids ribbon we
shouldn't have been sur-
prised.
EN POINT:
The ballet Joe by
choreographer Jean-Pierre
Perrault was first perform-
ed ten years ago. Till now,
Montreal has been the only
Canadian city to see it.
Now• it's going to tour Win-
nipeg. Quebec. Montreal,
Ottawa and Toronto where
the tour begins May 25th to
the 28th inclusive.
The touring production is
a collaborative effort by
Contemporary Dancers
(Winnipeg,. Dancemakers
( Toronto) and Foodation
Perreault ( Montreal ).
For those readers who
haven't seen it, be advised
that Joe borrows from
George Orwell's 1984 and
Fritz Lang's Metropolis.
The key character Joe is
perceived as a metaphor
for humanity. He is accom-
panied by 31 other dancers
on stage. all wearing bulky
o'coats, old hats and C. P. R.
boots. The last are useful
for creating the necessary
syncopation.
It's all most interesting
but one wonders what

Moody Gardens. Galveston
This is truly one of the
most unique attractions
found anywhere in the
United States. The center-
piece of Moody Carders is
the Rainforest Pyramid, a
one -acre glass and steel
four-sided structure that
reaches 10 stories into the
air. Inside is a magic
transformation of three of
the world's rain forest
regions of South America,
Asia, and Africa. Birds,
butterflies, reptiles, and
fish add to the realism. The
South American rain
forest, for example, is built
around a replica of an an-
cient Mayan ruin. This
highly entertaining and
educational exhibit clearly
demonstrates the impor-
tance of the world's rain
forest regions, the foods
and products that come
from them and the cultures
that depend on them. A few
of the other features in the
complex include a 3-D Im-
ax Theatre, a plant
research center, and a
roan -made beach. Future
plans call for a resort hotel
with tennis courts and a
swimming pool. For more

Wall Family Receives
Cat Of The Year Award
The May 7th Scarborough Pet Fair was a big success this
year and it was the 2nd year of the Cat Show. Michael Wall,
who works for the Works and Environment, and his family
entered five of their show cats, including two of their dogs -
two really sweet pugs.
All of the cats won prizes of bags of cat food. The five cats
entered were: Stardust - a very rare Seal Point Ragdoll, JR
Purring - a Platinum Burmese. Mischief Maker - a black
Persian, Amber - a red Exotic Shorthair and Pandora - a
calico and white household pet.
JR Purring won the 4th smallest cat, Michief Maker won
the 3rd smallest cat and Stardust stole the whole show. He
won the Most Unusual Cat and also "Cat of the Year"
award.
For those who don't know what a Ragdoll is, it is a fairly
new breed. They have semi -long fur that doesn't mat and
sheds very little. The males get to weigh between 15 and 20
pounds and rneasur•e 3 feet in length. They're a very docile
and quiet cat - hence the name Ragdoll. They have lovely
blue eyes. a sweet face and come in the same colota•s as
Siamese. At the present. they can only be purchased in
United States_ There are only about 3 other Ragdolls in
Canada so the people who visited the Pet Fair enjoyed a
very rare treat.
Above, Sandra Wall holds the Cat of the Year Award for
"Stardust", Mavor Joyce Trimmer and Michael T. Wall
are holding .'Stardust" ragdoll.
