Looking at the unemployment Insurance plan. we believe

available for those who can't easily get off the UI plan. A
100.1xxi number of people who are not labouring but just col-
lecting UI funds is a financial drag on our economy. Pro-
bably a vast majority of these citizens would prefer to get
any kind of work just to raise their level of feeling about
their ability to contribute to their country's economy.
More funds could be used to aid and assist the UI plan and
these funds could come from the cancellation of the
massive number of handouts to thousands of groups• most
of whom could raise their own funds if they had to.
It doesn't take much effort to come to the conclusion that
the majority of citizens want efficiency increased in

Thanks For The Help
Dear Editor:
Rwanda ... Just five months ago most Canadians had barely
heard of the tiny African country. Today, the mere mention
of its name brings to mind unspeakable horrors likened to the
killing fields of Cambodia. Although Rwanda reminds us of
mankind's cruelty, it also demonstrates how the people of
Ontario respond when they see others in need.
I'm told that Canadians struggle with compassion fatigue
and cynicism. Yet the golden rule of "Do unto others as you
would have them do unto you." seem to live on. This province
gave some 53.765.300 to help relieve the suffering people of
Rwanda. It is an amazing feat in a country struggling out of a
recession.
My message is simple. On behalf of the recipients of this
help in Rwanda, may I express our deepest gratitude. Your
support is helping us locate parents of lost children, assist
farmers. provide medical aid and perform a host of other
humanitarian activities.
Of course money is not everything, but it is a good indicator
of people's attitudes and beliefs about what is important.
We've only started. but your support has already enriched
the lives of Rwandans. Thank you.
Sincerely.
J.Don Scott

Province Helps Communities
Set Up Credit Unions
Communities lacking adequate financial services can now
turn to the Ontario government for help in setting up a credit
union or opening a branch of an existing one, Natural
Resources Minister Howard Hampton has announced on
behalf of Finance Minister Floyd Laughren.
"Improving financial services in these communities will
give local enterprises access to the services and capital they
need to grow and crate jobs," Hampton said. "Access to
per•sorial financial services is crucial for local residents."
The initiative is a partnership between the provincial
government's jobsOintario Community Action program and
credit union and caisse populaire leagues. Its goals are to
help communities improve local financial services: bring
credit unions and caisses populaire together with small
businesses and co-operatives that need commercial credit to
grow: and develop training programs in small business
lending for credit unions.
"Good local financial services mean healthier local
ecommies." Hampton said. "because they keep business in
the community. When you don't have to leave town to make a
deposit or cash a cheque, you're a lot more likely to do your
shopping at home, too."
Hampton's announcement came at the official opening of
the new Lakewood Credit Union branch in Ear Falls, the first
to open under the new plan. " jobsOntario Community Action
is based on helping people develop local initiatives that are
community-based and community driven• and credit unions
and caisses populaires fit that strategy perfectly." Hampton
said.
"The people of Ear Falls have shown how a local economy
benefits when a community comes together to establish a
credit union. People like Dome Miranda worked long and

Gun Control Measures
Dan McTeague. M.P., Ontario Riding, has called
upon federal Justice Minister Allan Rock to immediately
bring before Parliament stricter gun control measures to
counter the proliferation and easy access to firearms in
Canada which has led to another killing in Durham Region.
`Yesterday a gun club in the centre of urban Ajax was the
scene of a shooting death of an employee during what may
have been a firearm robbery. A few weeks ago an Oshawa
gun store owner was gunned down and others injured when
thieves stole 14 guns. I believe it is time for the Minister of
Justice to act swiftly to ensure public safety and curb the
availability and criminal misuse of guns in our society," said
McTeague.
"It is clear that safe storage is a joke when bandits can go
into a gun store and take what they want. These stores are
now seen as convenient places to steal weapons which end up
on the streets and sold to other criminals who kill or injure
more innocent people. Now it appears gun clubs, which are
supposedly secure areas, are being added to the list of where
to steal guns," added McTeague.
"Like the majority of Canadians who want more gun
controls. I have seen enough of the failure of the so-called
tough measures that the pro -gun lobby says already exist. It
is all too simplistic to say crime control not gun control.
Moreover, the gun control issue is not predicated on
individual rights, it is not a question of freedom to hunt or
participate in sport shooting, it is a question of people being
shot and killed," said McTeague.
"The Minister of Justice has a responsibility to Canadians
and I call upon him to introduce measures that will ensure
public safety. These measures include increased border
controls to combat the smuggling into Canada of firearms.
increasing minimum sentences for the use of firearms in a
crime, the removal of plea-bargaining of weapons charges,
tighter restrictions on handguns and assault weapons,
tighter controls on the sale of ammunition and the

Small businesses in Ontario now can get help at one-stop

Swarbrick. A province -wide toll-free (I -w )-%s-t9211 lets
entrepreneurs know the location of the nearest workstation.
Or, a free registration kit can be ordered that includes four

community leaders worked with the Ontario government and
the credit union movement to open a new branch of the
Lakewood Credit Union, ensuring continued financial
services for the community.
The 1994 Ontario Budget committed the government to
ensuring better access to capital for small businesses. The
government's measures to date have included - reforms
allowing credit unions, caisses populair•es and trust
companies to do more lending to new businesses: initiatives
such as FarmPLUS. Community Loan Funds and
Community Investment Share Corporations that allow
people to invest in their own communities, making capital
available for local enterprises: and other measures such as

40 Years Ago Hurricane
Hazel Hit Ontario
Ontario was hit with the
worst natural disaster in
history 40 years ago this
creek.
On Oct. 14 and 15. 1954.
Hurricane Hazel slammed
into Southern Ontario,
unleashing heavy ratio and
high winds in a swath of
destruction reaching as far
north as James Bay and as
far east as the Ottawa
Valley. Eighty-one people
died, most by drowning in
widespread flooding in the
wake of the hurricane. The
estimated damage reached
more than $25 million, a
staggering figure at the
time.
The Greater Toronto area
was the hardest hit by the
storm which dumped an
estimated 322 million tons of
rain on the watersheds of
the Humber and Don Rivers
and the Etobicoke and
Mimico Creeks. The
Humber watershed
suffered the most damage
with 1,200 families homeless
and the highest proportion
of fives lost. including 32 on
one street alone - Raymore
Drive in Weston.
"In recalling Hurricane
Hazel, we can look to the
progress that has been
made in preventing and
controlling flood disasters
in Ontario since then." said
Craig Mather, Chief
Administrative Officer of
The Metropolitan Toronto
and Region Conservation
Authority.
Since 1954, Ontario's
conservation authorities,
locally based
environmental protection
agencies, have succeeded in
significantly reducing the
potential for loss of life and
private property damage
from flooding through a
broad based program of
watershed management.
If Ontario were hit today
with a storm of the same
magnitude, there would be
less risk to life; and the
extent of the damage to
private property woult: be
reduced.
Fewer people and homes
are located in floodplain
and valleylands because the
conservation authorities
regulate development in
areas of flood and erosion
risk: purchase floodplain
and conservation lands and
have built and maintain
protective and remedial
works which reduce risk to
already built up areas.
There is improved flood
warning because
conservation authorities
constantly monitor weather
and water levels.
The extent of the flood
damace to roads and
bridges would be
significantly reduced
because conservation
authorities set the criteria
for and approve the design
of roads and bridges
crossing floodplain and
valkylands to ensure these
structures can withstand
flooding and not contribute
to flood problems.
On Sat .Oct. 15, and Sun.
Oct. 16, the Kortright
Centre for Conservation will
host a public program on
the 40th Anniversary of
Hurricane Hazel in the
Kortright theatre at 11:30
a.m. and 1:30 p.m. Groups
and municipalities within
the Humber watershed will
be attending with displays
that illustrate their own
watershed initiatives... past,
present and future.
To get to the Kortright
Centre for Conservation,

to Pine Valley Drive, then

My wife Em and I always s:►}
we never need a calendar to tell
the time of the year. That's
because we have a couple of
teenagers - twins, mind you - and
a crusty old tomcat called
Guildwood who tell us every-
thing we need to know. For
example, Guildwood has begun
his annual trek around the house
looking for all the warm spots.
Kyle and Belinda, on the other
hand, claim they still have lots of
money from their summer jobs,
but they're getting a little worried
about Christmas presents. So
bey - it must he October.
The air is getting crisp and the
nights are cool - plenty cool up
there in the Yukon, I know, but
just starting to get there in
Ontario and other points south.
If you're like me and Em, you
care about a buck or two, so this
fall we're going to %tan making
our place a little more energy-
efficient, if you know what 1
mean. Get rid of some of those
little drafts. From what I've been
reading lately, there are ells of
easy ways to save energy in small
ways around your house: that
make your home more comfort-
able season -Hund, and also trim
a hit from your energy hill. And
like I said to Em, who wants to
pay tier heat that nobody uses?
So, my friend, this is where
caulking and weatherstripping
comes in. In fact. caulking and
weatherstripping arc perfect Bo -
it -yourself jobs because they're
easy to do and you don't need a
lot of spectW tools. Best of all,
you can do it a little at a time.
When you get yourself down to
the hardware store, just look for
the -Power Smart' logo - that
means you're buying something
that's going to help you make
your bouse more energy-effi-
cient. In fact, October is "Power
Smart Month," and you'll find a
lot of this stuff is on sale.
Anyway, did you know that if
you put together all the leaks and
cracks in a typical Canadian
home, you'd end up with a hole
in the wall the size of a window?
Thank about that on a cold
January day! In fact, i've got a
little booklet here that also says a
good caulking and weather-strip-
ping job can cut up to one-quarter
from the heating bill of a house -
not to mention make it that much
more darned comfortable to
watch the hot kevLarne!

Tart crab apples make tasty preserves
Often too tart to he eaten raw,
crab apples make wonderful home
canned delicacies. Whether you
harvest them off the tree in your
back yard or buy them at a fruit
market, it's easy to transform crab
apple. into unique. delicious pre-
seryes.
Autumn is the time. in fact the
only time. to home can crab ap-
ples. Thev cannot be stored for
months like most apples. so crab
apples are marketed only when
harrsted in fall and early winter.
Shimmering, sweet crab apple
jelly is perhaps the most popular
recipe for this small fruit. How-
ever, once you've extracted the
juice fur jelly, why waste the pulp"
Use the recipe below to turn the
pulp into a smooth. lightly spiced
'butter. It's a superb spread on
warm toast. Crab apple jelly is
delicious as a bread spread or serve
it with cream cheese and crackers.
Or. melt the jelly and brush it on
masted meats a%"a glaze.
Crab apples are also delicious
canned whole in a slighth sweet.
spiced syrup. according to Mary
Bew ick, home economist for Ber-
nardin of Canada Ltd. Spiced crab
apples were a popular winter fruit
dessert among eariv settlers and
they're just as delicious today.
They're a perfect choice for those
who want delicious. low fat sweet
treats fox the winter mouths.
When canning crab apples. it is
important to heat the fruit in the
s% rup before packing it into the jar.
Ms Bewick says. Heating the fruit
exhausts stux of the air trapped
in the fruit tissues and helps pre-
vent fruit floating in the jar or un-
wanted coli changes.
MS Bew ick ala► reminds con-
sumers that crab apple. canned

HERITAGE HIGHLIGHTS
JerryPotts: An UnlikelyMountie
By Lionel hearm
in 187. Prime Minister John
A. Macdonald sent the fledgling
North West Mounted Police out
from Fort i ufferin. Manitoba on
their first campaign: their assign-
ment. to track down .American
whisky traders, and briny some
semblance of law and order to the
Canadian prairies. The inexpen-
enced hared of scarlet coated con-
stables. however, did not meet
with instant success. They spent
their first seventy days wandering
in the wilderness, often lost. and
suffering from the elements.
It was a local character named
Jerre Potts who stepped in to Saye
the young Mounues from starva-
tion and embarrassment. Ile led
them to hurt Whoop -1)p, the cen-
tre of the whisky trade, artd sug-
gested the site for their first head-
quarters. Fort Macleod on the
Old Man River. From then on,
Potts played a key role in the suc-
cess of the N%krMP and the devel-
opment of the Canadian West.
The finest scout in the North
West Territories. Jerry Potts,
however, was quite a contrast to
the Mounties that he guided.
Small, bowlegged, dressed in
European clothing and the moc-
casins of a Native, he wore a cat
skin that he
claimed preserved
his life, and his a

Potts had learned self-reliance
at an early age. His father, a
Scottish Iludson's Bay Company
clerk, was murdered while Jerry
was still a baby. As a child. Jerry
moved between his mother's No -
pie. Blood Indians of the Black -
fox Confederacy. and white "fos-
ter fathers". who were sometimes
violent and neglectful, sometimes
caring and helpful. Through it all,

Jerry learned to survive in the
wilderness, keep his mouth shut,
and trust his own strength. Along
the way, he also learned to read
and write English and to speak
several Native languages.

valuable to

Leading a pat-
rol, he would
scout ahead, make camp, kill,
skin and cook a buffalo, then wait
for the exhausted Red Coats to
arrive. He never used a compass
or a map, but he could find a
landmark he had never seen or
track a whisky trader through the
most terrible blizzard. Some said
he could smell the scent of Mx)/.e

Police as guide, interpreter, and
adviser. His greatest contribution
was to establish trust between the
NWMP and the Blackfoot Con-
federacy.
Until his death in 1996, Potts
led North West Mounted Police
patrols and helped preserve the
atmosphere of cordiality and
cooperation between the civil
authorities and the Native popula-
tion. In this sense he helped
"tame" the Canadian West, but he
was never really lamed himself.

Mountie fort, encircled by the
tents of his extended family. And
he never lost his prodigious thirst.
Ironically, the man who was
responsible odor the downfall of
the Fort Whoop -Up whisky
traders died himself from the
effects of alcohol abuse. But
when he died, Jerry Potts was
mourned and honoured by
Europeans and Natives alike.

Big Shot Challenge
To Battle Flu Bug
Over the next few months
Health Departments in
greater Metropolitan
Toronto are out to give
potential flu sufferers a big
shot in the arm.
Mark Bartlett, senior
public health inspector
with the Scarborough
Health Dept. and
spokesman for the "Big
Shot Challenge" says that
getting a flu shot is a must
for those at high risk for in-
fluenza. "Anyone 65 years
and older or who suffers
from chronic heart, lung
and kidney problems or
who has diabetes, cancer
and HIV AIDS should get a
flu shot every year".
Promoted to the staff and
residents in long term care
facilities, Public Health's

While the "Big Shot

Bartlett says vaccinations
are a good idea for visitors
too. "It really is important

everyday situations. For ex-
ample, the following tips
may help parents reduce ten-
sion levels during a family
conflict:
• Suggest a delay. Ex-
ample: "l need some
time to think this over.
Why don't we talk about
it again after dinner?"
• Agree on a point. Find
something you can
agree on to establish a
common ground and
open up communica-
tion. Example: "I like
the colour of this
sweater. If we could just
find one that is a little
less expensive."
• Use humour. Humour
lightens things up. A
joke can show that the
situation is not worth
fighting about. Example:
"I used to say that to my
mum!"
• Apologize. Admit when
you are wrong. An apol-
ogy is sometimes all it
takes to end a conflict.
Example: "I just wasn't
thinking. I'm sorry."
• Use a calm voice and
avoid aggressive ges-
tures. Speak slowly and
calmly, choosing word~
that arc not accusatory.
Be careful not to point
at or stand uncomfort-
ably close to the other
person. Example: "I
think I can sur what
happened here."
• Ask for help from
another adult. For
young people, the pre-
sence of another adult
often defuses the con-
flict and gives everyone
time to cowl down. Ex-
ample: "Let's sue what
Aunt Ruth or Uncle
David thinks."
• Take advantage of
times when you can
talk, riding in the car.

Scarborough Swim Club Report
by Mariel Warden
Action in the pool is into
its 3rd week as all groups
have started training for the
1994-95 short course (25
metre pool) season.
Head Coach Darin Murna
is back on deck with a
larger Senior National
Squad. Dalin recently
became the proud new
father of a beautiful baby
daughter so his vacation
was extremely exciting and
exhausting.
Assistant Coach Gary
Mcllroy got the first 2
weeks of land trammg
underway. The swimmers
are now into a freshly
painted bright and shiny
Birchmount Pool.
They welcome a few new
club members to their
group and several
graduates up from the Top
Age Group program. Head
Age Group Coach Doug
Dean is very pleased to note
that his squad has more
provincial qualifiers to start
off the season than ever
before and was proud to
have groomed the bulk of
the additions to the Senior
Program.
"We are strengthening
our base of age group
swimmers each year and

LITERACY
ABC CANADA and The
Canadian Give The Gift Of
Literacy Foundation are
two organizations devoted
to the spread of literacy
across Canada. It seems
unfortunate that they
should be necessary mais
tant pis.
Between them they
schedule various fund
raising events throughout
the year. Among them are
Scrabble On The Hill on
Oct. 20th when one can join
parliamentarians and ABC
Canada for a game of
Scrabble. Sorry, but the
temptation is irresistible to
suggest that it might better
be called Scramble On The
Hill given the way our so
called representatives are
constantly scrambling to
save their butts-oops. seats.
Then. there's National
Scrabble Week For
Literacy beginning Oct.
23rd which. as this is being
written, is supposed to
begin with Kent
Manderville of the N.H.L.
throwing out the opening
letters on a twelve foot

During National Scrabble
Week there will be special
contests in the working
place. Consult your
newspapers for pledge
forms.
On Nov- 7th there will be
Scrabble With The Stars.
This is an opportunity to
match words. letters and
%its with celebrities. The
host is Knowlton Nash and
there will be more than a
hundred well known
personalities present. They

Now, pray allow us our
annual editorializing on the
subject of literacy. For one
thing, it's not nor should be
considered synonomous
with illiteracy, the
existence of which is
disgraceful in a country
such as Canada. For
another, it seems to Your
Column that illiteracy is not
so wide spread as is the lack
of articulation or expression
with which one is
surrounded these days. We
are heartily sick of those
who cannot complete a
spoken sentence without the
inclusion of "like" "you
know" and the dreadful
.'eh?"
Teaching Canadians how
to read is a laudable
enterprise but shouldn't be
left at that. Teach them how•
to elucidate• articulate and
express themselves as well.
The editorial is ended.
IN PRINT
Commended to your
attention as an example of
articulation is The Story Of
Numbers by John McLeish
4Fawcett Columbine).
Even the title is articulate.
This is indeed the story of
numbers and their
importance to science and
the history of the world.
Within its pages one will
read of how earlier and
varied civilizatiorts
developed symbols -not
always abstract -to express
mathematical concepts.
The sorriest of idiots. for
example• can determine
that the sun rises and sets at
certain times dependent
upon the season. But. how
does one measure and
express it in a way more
than simply oral? You'll
find out here in this
charming -we mean that
literally -book.
Among the civilizatmns
examined are ancient
Egypt. Sumeria. Babylon.
Greece and Israel. Others
are those of the
Amerindian, the Maya and
the Arabs. the last named of
which gave cililization the
zero.
You'll read of Francis
Bacon ( We remain
unconvinced that he might
have written the plays of
Shakespeare. Doubtless he
had the capability but.
equally doubtless, it was
Marlowe.), John Napier.
Isaac Newton, Babbage and
Boole who developed
Boolean Logic.
The final chapters are
devoted to our modern age
of electronic computers and
artificial intelligence. ( Are
you listening Ottawa? )
The subject matter is
fascinating but the charm of
the book lies in
presentation. Professor
McLeish is a witty person
and presents his subject in a
manner most pleasing.

ON RECORD
If I Were A Carpenter (A.
& M.) isn't a reference to
the Paul Anka song. It's a
clever play on words used
as a title for this album of
songs by The Carpenters
now being covered by
various of today's
performers. This is a
courageous effort on the
part of the producers for the
following reasons.
If you enjoyed Karen and
Richard Carpenter.
chances are you won't enjoy
hearing today's "with it"
performers singing their
songs. But, if you're a fan of
the latter. you might feel
the same way in a vague
perception that they're
selling out.
This rrvwwer doesn't
pretend to know horn the
enterprise will fare. If we
did. wed be making albums
instead of a more or less
humble effort to review
therm.
Among the artists you'll
bear are Shorn Knife. The
Cranberries ( appropriate
just after Thanksgiving) .
Bettie Serveert, Dishwatla,
Sheryl Crow and Grant Lee
Buffalo. They perform in
order Top of The World.
Close To You. For All We
Know. It's Gonna Take
Some Time and We've Only
Just Begun.
In the main, they do them
well but ... it's not The
Carpenters; neither is it
what one usually expects of
the new kids.
Each auditor must make
his or her own decision.
For the record )no pun
intended) Sheryl Crow has
now passed Canadian Gold
standing almost a year
after her Tuesday Night

October of '93. Tenacity
almost always carries the
day but when supplemented
by talent, the results are
rarely in doubt.

TRAVEL NOTES
Cognizant of the
demographic fact that the
over 50s is the fastest
growing segment of the
Canadian population, . the
Hong Kong Tourist
Association is actively
soliciting same.
To that end, it has
produced a Guide For The
Mature Traveller that
highlights discounts
prepared especially for the
seniors' market. Savings
include reduced fares on
railway systems, free
travel on the Star Ferry,
half price admissions to
cultural events, discounts at
museums and reduced
prices at selected hotels.
So. in view of the fact that
OHIP benefits are now
reduced anyway, why not
give Hong Kong a look and
see this winter? No
disparagement is intended
to the citrus state but right
now. Hong Kong looks more
attractive.
If you want to travel
without leaving home, try
the new Imax film at
Ciinesphere in Ontario
Place. It's titled Destiny In
Space and is truly
breathtaking. The
resolution of films shot in
outer space amazes one.
Having written that, we
must also say that the
computerized depictions of
Venus and Mars, from "x -
Ray" photographs taken by
space vehicles is thrilling.
One actually skims over the
surface of Mars, the red
planet.
There's humanity here
too. The idea of sending a
telescope into space was
first put forward in 1946.
The now elderly gentleman
who suggested it is briefly
interviewed before the blast
off of the space craft
carrying the Hubble Space
Telescope. He is seen again
as it lifts off successfully. At
that moment his wife leans
over and kisses him. A
touching scene and it
quickly brought tears to us.

The play is alternately fill-
ed with hilarious repartee
(I'm not crazy. I've just
been in a bad mood for 4o
years") and touching
moments underlying and
deeply revealing the
strength and pur-
posefulness of its
characters. A skillfully
crafted play which builds
to a deeply moving conclu-
sion, truly touching yet fun-
ny.
The Scarborough Players
production of this play was
handled superbly. All six
actors had stage presence
and excellent characteriza-
tion, a great team effort
with an extra star to
Malone Mandolidis for her
portrayal of the mother.
The second act really
'crackled' with the pick up
in pacing. The production
elements were all there
with an excellent realistic
and viable set. Dean Coll-
ings was the set designer
with production by Alison
Ovenngton whilst director
Maureen Dorey--Lukie
deserves credit for her
handling of the play.
The Players have an ex-
cellent choice of plays for
their 1994.95 season (35th
Anniversary!). If their
first show is any indication,
theatre goers are in for a
real treat this season. It is
not too late to subscribe for
the balance of the season.

Florida Keys - Where Sun
Shines Even Under Water
There is no other place in
the world like the Florida
Keys to experience the
speed and efficienty in
which a tourist is dizzily
whizzed from the shop
counter into a modern,
well-equipped boat and
then splash - welcome to
North America's only
Caribbean coral reef.
In the Florida Keys, the
business of taking care of
the diving tourist has been
perfected to an efficient
art. Where else but in
Florida would a boat cap-
tain put on your flippers for
you, serenade you under-
water with Bob Marley
tutees and then, on the ride
home, give you a shampoo
on the poop deck using an
environmentally friendly
rinse?
The Keys are a chain of
pencil -thin islands that
dangle southward from the
tip of Florida. and are
tenuously linked to the
mainland by Highway
No. 1. This is the only rib-
bon of blacktop in America
- all 75 km of it - where the
dive shops outnmber the
roadside fast food outlets.
From Key Largo, home of
the Pennekamp Coral Reef
State Park (a 178 square
mile federally protected
sea garden). to the wildly
Bohemian community of
Key West. you will see
more red and white diver
flags than anywhere else in
the world.
The intense co npetitm
for the diving dollar has
resulted in the industry
establishing strict quality
guidelines so the service
never suffers. even when
the price is low. Even if a
charter is only making a
quick hop to a patch reef
within a few metres of
shore, the craft will pro-
bably have a VHF radio,
drift lines, oxygen, first aid
kit, a chase boat and a cap-
tain and crew who are cer
tified in CPR and other life
saving techniques.
Safety of the reef is also
important. Multiple moor-
ing floats are in place along
most of the shallow reefs,
allowing boats to tie up and
thus avoiding the use of
coral damaging anchors.
Every trip on every boat
begins with a lecture about
safe reef diving procedures
and a plea for swimmers to
look but not touch.
There is diving for all
skill levels in the Keys.
Novices flock to user
friendly waters of Pen-
nekamp Park by the tour
bus load, while serious
divers spend more time in
the warmer, less visited
Middle and Lower Keys
around the cities of
Marathon and Key West.
Warm weather in the
Keys means not only great
diving but, of course, a
multitude of activities to
keep any dry diver's or
visitor's day full. Key West
is the only city in the world
that honours sunsets on a
daily basis. Tourists and
locals alike gather on the
town dock every evening of
the year to watch the sun
crash and burn into the still
blue Caribbean waters.
� � I
Volunteer
The actual process of pass-
ing from light into night
takes time, so buskers, jug-
glers and even pussycat
trainers entertain the
crowds while they wait for
the end of the day.
Also on the Keys is Bahia
Honda State Park, with
camping, picnic sites and
;great beaches, and in Key
West there is the Mel
Fisher Treasure Museum,
tours of the Fort Zachary
Taylor State Historic Site
and troller v tours. From
Oct. 21-30, Key West holds
Fantasy Fest, a celebra-
tion featuring New
Orleans' Mardi Gras, Rio's
Carnival and Hallowe'en
all rolled into one, with a
parade, costumes, street
vendors and entertain-
ment, a costume ball and
much more.

Combining a high

with high powered flight
simulator technology, the
adventure begins aboard
the jet helicopter, Borealis
and Snow Dog, kicking up
cold, dry snow at takeoff in
a race to outrun an
approaching storm.
Passengers are enveloped
in the beauty, exhilaration
and danger of
Arctic exploration.
Panoramas are
breathtaking, but the trip is
far from tranquil. High
anxiety ensues when they
encounter dangerous Arctic
hazards, before being
delivered safely at the
research base before the
weather closes in.
Stepping from the
helicopter, guests enter
"Base Station Wild Arctic"
through a chilly
passageway which gives
way to a frozen wonderland

History
At Black
Creek
by Wendy Lewis
The towns of Nobleton
and Laskay are linked by
more than 150 years of
history. Part of that history
,lives on at Black Creek
'Pioneer Village, where the
Laskay Emporium and the
Nobleton Blacksmith Shop
now stand, fully restored to
their original condition.
Built in 1856 by Joseph
(Baldwin and managed by
his son Henry, the Laskay
Emporium was a general
store• post office, and the
best place to catch up on
news and gossip.
Local farmers brought
their butter and eggs to
trade for the imported and
manufactured goods that
Mr. Baldwin brought back
from Toronto. The store
was stocked from floor to
ceiling with everything
from barley sugar to buggy
whips. Barrels of crackers•
flour and molasses
cluttered the floor: bolts of
cloth, cakes of soap, and
jars of medicines lined the
shelves: harnesses and
hardware hung from the
ceiling beams. Permeating
it all were the rich aromas
of tobacco and spices•
mingled with kerosene,
turpentine, and wood smoke
from themove.
