Lower Interest Rates
by Bob Watson
Well the economy is standing still at the moment and it is
time that our federal government put some revival plans in-
to action.
The first move should be to lower the interest rates by one
to two per cent. This will trigger off sales of houses and cars
which will positively help our economy.
The next move is to help the small business economy. Let's
face it, Ottawa, it has been said numerous times that the
small business community provides 60% of the jobs in our
economy. Small business is the economic basis of success
or failure.
Let's get the banks to make small business loans at 3 to 4%
which will stimulate action in this part of our economy. So
the banks won't make a big bundle: They will get their
share when the economy is not down and out.
Once we get our economy rolling we can look at making all
levels of government more efficient resulting in less cost to
run our glorious land.

Insulting Taxpayers
Dear Sir Madam:
The federal government continues to insult Canadian tax-
payers with its hypocritical charade on MP pensions.
The latest sorry act tools place on May 30, when the
Liberals used their majority to ram Bill C-85, wfiich makes
only token changes to MP pensions. through committee
hearings.
The Liberals forced the 30 -page bio through committee
hearings in only 12 Minutes. Talk about arrogance' This
was after they decided to ban The National Citizens' Coah-
tion and others from appearing before the committee.
Is this what Prime Minister Jean Chretien had in mind
when he campaigned during the last election on a promise
to restore Canadians' respect for politicians and the
political process'
Of course, the Liberals were determined to push this
cynical bill through quicklyl (while urging us taxpayers to
pull our belts even tighter') because they know it's a com-
plete fraud.
Despite the bill's token changes, MP pensions will still
have unlimited protection against inflation; will still be
twice as rich as private sector pensions; and they will pay
out at the early age of 55.
When the next election day conies. we urge voters to
remember the record of the Liberal government on reform-
ing '.VIP pensions.
Sincerely.
David Somerville

May 31st marked the end
of a successful Red Shield
Appeal month'
The focus of the month
was on Mav 31st when over
20110 volunteers went door-
to-door in their Scar-
borough communities seek-
ing donations for the Red
Shield Appeal. Even more
thousands opened their
doors and gave generously.
The City of Scarborough
has raised $216.01A) over the
month of May towards the
'.Retro goal of 8.5 million.
The Public Relations
Coordinator for The Salva-

Sharilyn Hale, said, ..The
Salvation Army provides
over $111 million of ser-
vices across Metro Toron-
to. To maintain and even
expand services it is im-
perative we meet our
nxtro-wide objective of 8.5
million. Scarborough has
certainly played its part
and next year we look for-
ward to a year of growth."
The Salvation Army

Home sweet office?
by M.N. Parnu
With the economy recovering
ever so slowly, more and more
people are looking towards
creating their own jobs. One
solution which is gaining popu-
larity is to start your own busi-
ness, usually out of your house
or garage.
More women are starting
home-based businesses to help
balance priorities. Thanks to
modem technology, such as
computer hook-ups and fax ma-
chines, many corporations now
allow some employees to work
out of their homes.
No matter what the reason is
for working out of your home.
it's important to have a ver
clear idea of what setting up a
business means — both as a
time committment and a finan-
cial reality.
Part of that financial real-
ity includes insurance for
vour home-based business.
You shouldn't assume that be-
cause your small business is
being run out of your home that
your home insurance policy will
protea you. In nx»t cases it
won't.
"This is an arca where your
insurance agent can be a big
help." says Chester Wozniak. a
business insurance expert with
The Cooperators. "You may
have to consider a number of
basic insurance coverages.
which are available with a bus-
iness insurance policy."
These coverages will pnxea
you and your property in case
of loss and can be categorized
into four general areas: Legal
Liability. Phvsical Assets: Loss
of Use, and Human Assets.
Legal Liability
Liability" coverage insures a
busincsi against accidents and
injury occurring on the prcm-
iscs. as well as exposure to any
of your company's products.
Herc are some examples:
- :\ messenger or customer vis-
its your home on husincss
and slips on vow stops. Your
home polk-ymay Mit cover
you but Busincss Liability
coverage would, including
ant legal expenses vow might
incur regardless of whether
or not you're found at fault.
- 1"ou'rc running a small cater-
ing business out of your
home and a client gets food
poisoning. Again. proper
business liability insurance
would protect you.
Do you hahvsit in voxir home"
Drpcnding out the number orf
children. you may need husincss
liability protection — ask your
imurancr representative.
If you attend events such as
trade shows or craft fain out-
side your home, you may be
asked for proof of liability in-
surance.
"The question of how much
liability insurance is not some-
thing which has a definite an-
swer." says Wozniak. For the
economic times. Your in-
terest in serving on the
board would be most
welcomed.

premiums involved• it usually
makes good business sense to
carry a limit of $ I million. Any-
thing over this for your home-
based business may not ever be
required.
Physical Assets — Business
Property Insurance
More than likely. vour home
insurance policy will not pro-
vide protection for your busi-
ness property. This includes
items such as your desk. chair,
filing cabinets, computer. tools•
etc.. as well as any stock held
for sale.
Do any of the above items
ever leave your premises." If so,
ask to arrange coverage on a
"floater" basis. which would in-
clude theft protection from a
locked vehicle.
Most business policies pro-
vide Replacement Cost Cover-
age. which means items will he
replaced at today's prices.
Crime coverage protects
against losses to money and
other securities resulting from
theft. burglary and robbery.
Your insurance representative
can help you determine your
risk.
Loss of Use — Business
Interruption Insurance
If you fail to purchase Loss
of Use for your asset.. you may
be doing only half the job. Al-
though your business stops
operating due to a loss. you will
still have expenses that continue
(e.g. rent. utilities).
Coverage is available so you
can continue receiving an in-
come while totally out of busi-
ness as well as regaining your
customer base. Many busi-
nesses fail because they arc un-
able to start up again, or if they
do. their customers have gone
elsewhere by the time they're
back in business.
Lability Physical Damage
For Y(mr Autumobik
Don't forget W advise your
insurance agent if you use your
vehicle for business purposes. If
you don't let your agent know
and you have an accident in the
wont case scenario tour claim
could be denied and your policy
cancelled. You may pay a
slighth higher premium but
you'll have peace of mind
knowing you are properly pro-
tected in the dont of an acci-
dent.
Human Asset Protection
You are the most valuable
part of your busincss.' And you
need to protect .ourself.
Coverages normally availa-
ble as an employee of a large
company are not there for you
when you are a sole proprietor.
What happens if you die" Or
bcLomc disahlcd"
You could lose your business
and all your assets. You need to
have hoth disability and life in-
surance protection.
Plan for .our retirement also
with RRSPs and a pension plan.
Many insurance representatives
are also qualified business
estate planners and can help.
,.Most home businesses
should be able to purchase all
the coverages we've outlined,"
says Wozniak. "Carving the
right type of insurance for the
proper limits is an essential part
of your business operations. It
can mean the difference be-
tween being in business for the
short term or the Ione run."

the canon, in this realistic
portrayal of a soldier's life
in Canada in the late 18th
century.
All weekend long visitors
will witness scenarios
which recreate an impor-
tant part of Canada's
history, the American
Revolutionary War.
Weekend activities will
demonstrate how soldiers
lived, camped, fought,
dressed and ate as well as
the impact they made on
the communities around
them. Re -enactors of the
Crown's forces will be
camped throughout the
Village as the American
rebel forces occupy Black
Creek's Valley.
As well as soldiers,
visitors will meet the full
range of people who par-
ticipated in military life
during this period in-
cluding women, children
and merchants. A soldier
was often accompanied on
the road by his wife and
children, known as camp
followers, who had specific
military duties and were
subject to military
discipline.
Authorized civilian mer-
chants, known as Sutlers,
travelled with troops to
provide them with needed
supplies.
Black Creek Village with
its skilled tradesmen in-
cluding the cooper,

carry on life as usual with
surprise interactions with
soldiers and camp

indicate the impact the
military had on village life.

Theft Of Blue Box Material
"IT'S A CRIME"
In the past few weeks the City of Scarborough has experienced a
,remendous increase in the amount of material being stolen from the
"Blue Box" program. Many responsible citizens have called to report the
theft of their blue box material. We thank you_
These people are not just stealing from the City. they are stealing from
you. the taxpayer. It is estimated that we are presently losing $20,000 a
week in revenues. At the current rate that is over 1 million dollars a year.
Revenue from the sale of material is used to pay for Scarborough's Blue
Box program. Without this revenue the taxpayer is forced to fund the
program.
City staff have met with Metro Police and steps are being taken to
identify and charge the responsible parties. A fine structure of up to
$25,000 is being put in place and charges under the Criminal Code are
being considered.
YOU CAN HELP!If at all possible please do not put your Blue Box out
until the morning of collection. A large amount of theft is occurring
overnight. If you see anyone taking your material, other than City staff,
please try to record the licence number, a description of the vehicle and
the location and time of the theft. You should then call the City's 24 hour
hot line at 396-5125. You will hear a recorded voice asking you to leave
this information. You do not have to identify yourself. If you would like
to speak with someone please leave a name and number and we will get
back to you as soon as possible. For your safety, do not attempt to stop
anyone from taking the material.

A Canadian Tradition Turns 65
Dural,
Shoo n is •
%IC n"lon :a1a10-,UCN to
most Canadians and many
will think of Regal Greet-
ings & Gifts. This fall, Regal
celebrates its 65th anniver-
sary in business as the
largest and most successful
catalogue company of its
kind. While many would
consider slowing down at
age 65, this Canadian com-
pany is far from considering
retirement. In fact, the com-
pany is ready to take the
leap forward into the next
century.
Regal attributes much of its
near seven decades of success
to its unique network of inde-
pendent sales representatives
operating in communities
right across Canada. This
'network' of representatives
is able to offer consumers it
wide variety of merchandise
at affordable prices, through
colorful seasonal cataltvgue.s.
On the occasion of their
65th year in business, Regal
Greetings & Gifts has com-
piled a corporate historical
overview. The following
highlights Regal's early his-
tory - and explains how it has
grown to become an estah-
lished Canadian tradition:
-In 1`1_1, N&1111am S.
McCartney moved to
Toronto to look for work.
he found a job selling en-
velopes for a Hamilton en-
velope manufacturer.
• One of his mor4 interesting
accounts was a small manu-
facturer of greeting cards.
Sown. NlcC'artnev became
intrigued with tic idea of
manufacturing his own
greeting cards, and with
S5(X).(X) (provided by the
woman wltu would later be-
come his wife), M,-C:frtney
began importing greeting
cards from the United States
and Great Britain. McCart-
nev's sown -to -be -bride
c"- the name "Regal" for
her investment.
• By 1929, McCartney
began to have Regal cards
printed in Canada. From a
basement distribution
operation located in
Toronto on Pape Avenue
to a store on Greenwood
Avenue, Regal's business
continued to grow. Even-
tually, the company
moved into a downtown
building at the comer of
Universitv Avenue and
Simcoe Street where it
its own greeting
card manufacturing
operation.
• Through the development
of the greeting card and
wrap business. McCart-
ney revolutionized the
lithograph business in
Canada. He brought the
first four-color presses to
Canada and changed the
operation of paper mills
because the presses
demanded larger sheets of
paper than had ever been
produced. In addition,
Regal brought the first au-
tomatic set-up box -
making equipment to
Canada and it was the
first greeting card com-
pany in the world to man-
ufacture its own en-
velopes and produce its
own gift wraps.
• McCartney based Regal's
success on the feedback
of his employees and the
many Regal sales repre-
sentatives from across the
count_s•. Each year he re-
ceived hundreds of letters
from sales reps describing
how they spent their
money made from Regal
sales. One rep wrote to
McCartney that her mother
had needed an operation
and with no national health
care ccs erage, she had paid
for it with the money made
from srllirtg Regal greeting
cards. Another rep wrote
that he had bought his first
onercow with the money
he had made selling Regal
cards. McCartney con-
sidered these: stories to he
the -'pride and the jos and
the achievement behind
what we are doing.
-In
oing."
•In the war years. Regal
helped promote the sale of
war savings bonds. To
stimulate salts. Regal pro-
ducxd a line of ChriAmas
cards that had an insert in-
side for placing war savings
certificates. McC artnev per-
sonally went across the
axmtry organizing the sales
drive for the war tx)nds
- Then in the late 1930%,
just before World War 11,
Regal introduced its first
shop -at-home catalogue
to Canada, a concept that
was to make Regal a
Canadian tradition. While
Regal first offered only
greeting cards and gift
wraps to Canadians, their
catalogue has since grown
extensively over the years
to include unique gift
items, kitchen and home
functional products, decor-
ative items and toys.
The one-man undertaking
of 1928 has come a long
way. In fact, the first 65
years of Regal Greetings &
Gifts is the story of a little
company that grew - and
grew. Still based on William
McCartncv's basic business
values - that people are the
company's most important
asset. as well as good serv-
ice, good value, and satis-
faction guaranteed - Regal is
more than ready to face the
next 65 years!
For a unique selection of
gifts, greeting cards and gift-
wrap, contact your local
Regal representative.

Twenty percent of On-
tario's school buildings are
considered inadequate
places for learning, and
more than 411.(1(X) Ontario
students attend classes in
these buildings each day.
In Canada, one in six
elementary and secondary
schools is inadequate be-
cause of the poor condition
of the building. More than
2,300 school buildings in
Canada are rated inadequate
according to school admin-
istrators, and only half of
Canada's school buildings
are rated good to excellent.
These findings are con-
tained in a national study of
school administrators re-
leased by the Ontario Asso-
ciation of School Business
Officials (OASBO).
"School building renewal
is an urgent concern because
our schools are deteriorating
and yet we know that the
physical condition of the
school is a key factor in
creating a positive learning
environment." said OASBO
spokesperson Mike Graham.
"Classrooms that are tow hot
or tow cold, with had indoor
air quality and ptxwr main-
tenance, have a negative ef-
fect on the learning and
teaching environment that
penalizes our kids now and
in the future.'
The survey report, entitled
Canadian .Schoolhouse in
the Red, describes a problem
which is national in scope.
Canada's school buildings
are aging, and this is a major
factor in building deteriora-
tion. Approximately 73 per-
cent of Ontario's schools
have outlived their life ex-
pectancy.
The deterioration problem
is getting worse because, in
tight economic times,
schools are being forced to
defer building maintenance
and repairs to cover rising
operating costs. Deferred
maintenance is now a $390
million burden for Ontario's
schools.
The study recognizes
%chcx)I% in Ontario could re-
capture an estimated S59
million a year in energy ex-
pensc% if they could make
needed building improvc-
ments and upgrades. This is
money that could be rechan-
ncllcd into helping children
learn.
"The sunc% shows sch(x)I
officials know steps can he
taken to cut operating and
encrg% costs, but the%
simply lack the funds to du
the job," said report author
Dr. Shirlev Hansen.
"Schools are caught in a vi-
cious cycle where less effi-
cient operations increase
energy consumption which,
in tum, causes higher utility
hills and an even greater
drain on the maintenance
budget."
Hansen, a management
consultant with a Ph.D. in
Educational Administration,
is a leading international
authority in the field of
facility management and
energy efficiency. She said
the study identifies great
cost-saving opportunities
because 58 percent of the
Ontario %ch(ol boards sur-
veyed have not established
an energy efficiency pro-
gram and nearly 25 percent
have not conducted an audit
of their buildings' energy
use.
To finance needed build-
ing upgrades and energy
efficiency programs, schools
are now turning to the pri-
vate sector. About 23 per-
cent of Ontario school
boards surveyed say they
have used private sector fi-
nancing and services, and
another 37 percent plan to
do so in the future.
"One solution to the
%Lh(ols' funding problem is
performance contracting,
which guarantees that re-
duced operating and energy
costs resulting from building
upgrades and tttaintenance
programs will pay for the
cost of the retrofit,- said
Roy Schumacher from
Honevwell Limited, a lead-
ing %orth American com-
pany providing complete
building audits, retrofit and
maintenance services. "Per-
formance contracting pro-
vides guaranteed cost
savings and enables %chtx)ls
to make building improve-
ments without the increased
use of tax dollars. Together,
we sa%e the energy for
learning. Ultimately, it's the
students who benefit."
"School building renewal
represents an opportunity to
invest in the future," said
OASBO spokesperson Mike
Graham. "We must find
ways to upgrade and pro-
long the life of our school
facilities, but building re-
newal is not just about
fixing up buildings. it's
about creating the kind of
positive learning environ-
ment our kids need to learn
and achieve. We want to en-
sure all our students benefit
from a quality learning en-
vironment."
Canadian Srh(x4house in
the Red is a national survey
that asked school adminis-
trators to rate the physical
condition of schools and to
identify school facility
needs. The survey, sent to all
school systems in Canada.
generated 3021 responses (42
percent), representing 6,838
school buildings (43 per-
cent) and 2.3 million stu-
dents (44 percent). The
study was commissioned by
the Ontario Association of
School Business Officials
(OASBO), funded by
Honeywell Limited and con-
ducted by Hansen Associ-
ates during the spring and
summer of 1993.

YMCA Summer Camps Tradition
Summer is fast ap-
proaching. Soon the
laughter and squeals of
children can be heard
throughout the Greater
Toronto Area. Children
jumping, running, skipping
and playing games. It's
time for camp once again.
For more than 100 years
parents have found peace
of mind through the YMCA
camps. YMCA Summer
Camps have for genera-
tions provided safe, fun and
educational summer time
experiences for children.
YMCA Summer Camps
take a child's summer
seriously, helping them
grow using their minds,
bodies and hearts. Trained
counsellors ensure a child's
camp experience is filled
with happiness, new
friends and above all safe-
ly.
Boredom is not part of the
vocabulary at YbICA Sum-
mer Campos. Children are
continuously involved in
fun and educational ac-
tivities. Each camp pro-
vides opportunities for a
child to express his or her
individual talents in the
arts, sports or other areas
of interest. There are a
variety of camps to choose
from.
IA)cal lamps
The YMCA offers several
specialty camps for
children between the ages
of 6-12, each geared to par-
ticular area of interest.
There is a sports camp for
sports enthusiasts who en-
joy playing baseball, soc-
cer or basketball. For the
more creatively inclined, a
creative arts camp lets
children use their imagina-
tion in the areas of dance,
music and crafts. Fun can
be had through challenging
computer games at a com-
puter camp. Other special-
ty camps offered include
gymnastics and
dance.Specialty camps will
be held at Albert Campbell
Collegiate for North Scar-
borough and for South

Board News
Per Pupil Costs Com-
parisons
The board received an in-
formation report outlining
per pupil cost statistics for
all school boards across the
province. The statistics
were based on the 1993
Financial Statement actual
expenditures from the
Ministry of Education and
Training.
MSSB's current cost of
operating is $1.551 per pupil
less than the Metropolitan
Toronto School
Board(MTB) for elemen-
tary students and $ZZ78 per
pupil less tahn the
Metropolitan Toronto
School Board for secondary
students.
On a per pupil bads,
MSSB spent 56f16 of what
MTSB spent on adrninistra-
tion in 1993.
Similary, MSSB spent 62%
of what the Peel Board of
Education spent on ad-
ministration in 1993. The
Peel Board is a neighbour-
ing school board of com-
parable sine to MSSB with
an enrolment of 91,351.
Budget Increase .11located
A 2% increase in the mill
rate, approved by the
board in April, will
generate $8.M,646 in addi-
tional revenues for MSSB.
The board has directed
that these funds Ail] be
distributed as follows:
Reinstate 5% school sup-
plies reduction $563,000.
One time $20 per pupil
allotment for instructional
supplies $2,111,767.
Technological Literacy In-
itiative $2,450,000.
Partial reinstatement of
facilities maintenance
budget $500,000.
Schools painting program
in 30 schools $1,000,000.
Computer on-line connec-
tion and networking of
schools $1,500,000.
1995 budget shortfall
$703,879.
Race & Ethnic Relations
and Ethnocultural Equity
Policy & Guidelines
The board was presented
with a draft of MSSB's
Race & Ethnic Relations
and Ethnocultural Equity
Policy and Guidelines.
The Policy & Guidelines
have been developed in
response to
Policy / Program
Memorandum NO -119
which requires every
school board in Ontario to
prepare a comprehensive
policy on anti -racism and
ethnocultural equity.
In compliance with this
legislative requirement.
MSSB has completed a
review of its existing race
relations policy, pro-
cedures- guidelines and
programs and has made
revisions where necessary
to bring them in line with
the requirements set out by
the Ministry of Education
and Training.
The process of revision
was undertaken with col-
laboration and consultation
with superintendents,
employee groups and com-
mittees represented by
parents. students, trustees,
clergy and employees.
Use of Professional Activi-
ty Days
I:Ienw, Marv: nine days
T1vo days for social con-
tract unpaid days to be us-
ed during the week of
Mar.18-22, 1996 when
schools are closed.
Three professional activi-
ty days are being schedul-
ed prior to Labour Days
(Aug.29-31,1995). This
allows three unpaid lieu
days when the schools are
closed Mar. 18 -?2.1996.
Secondary: nine days
Five of the nine profes-
sional activity days are be-
ing used as Social Contract
unpaid leave days during
Mar.18-22,1996. The re-
maining dour days are to
be scheduled by the school.
To meet the pay cuts en-
forced by the Social Con-
tract, secondary teachers
must take five unpaid days
off during the 1995-96 school
year.
Following a survey of the
employees concerned, and
parent associations, it was
decided to put the days
together so that the com-
munity and students would
be inconvenienced the
least. The alternative
would have seen 37 secon-
dary schools and over 2W
elementary schools closed
at different times
throughout the year.
Students will not lose any
instructional days.

held at Birchmount Col-
legiate.
Another camp offered is
the Down -to -Earth camp.
It provides children bet-
ween the ages of 7-12 with
the opportunity to explore
and discover the wonders
of nature at Bruce's Mill
Conservation Area for
North Scarborough and at
Greenwood Conservation
Area for South Scar-
borough. Campers will
take long hikes, exploring
the woods and enjoying
other activities such as
swimming, sing songs,
stories and games.
The YMCA also provides
bus service for parents who
cannot drop off their child
at the camp. Bus stops are
conveniently located
throughout the Scar-
borough area. Call the
camp office for the nearest
location.
All programs run from 9
a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday to
Friday with an extended
hours service at many bus

Metro Councillor Ken Morrish
Leads Parade
The traditional Highland Creek Heritage Day was observed on Sat.June 10th.
with the usual parade of groups - as well as people above - Bill Dempsey is
wearing his top hat and tails and in front of him is Metro Councillor Ken
Morrish and his driver, Jack Douglas. The parade leaves the Highland Creek
Legion and journeys around the streets to the graveyard where the latest
mural is on the wall. It ends up with great community spirit among the citizens
who are present for the event. (Photo - Bob Watson).

Community Sports Notes
Midnight Hoops A Success At YMCA
by Deen Karim
The screeches and thumps
of basketball shoes filled
the quiet halls of Scar-
borough's YMCA Friday
night.
While most people slept.
over 20 basketball en-
thusiasts became the first
to dribble and dunk in
Canada's first midnight
basketball program.
"When I was younger I
wished I was living in the
States, living and
breathing basketball," said
Adrian Forde, who played
in the first game. "I'm gon-
na try to make it every
night.
Players began to arrive at
11.30 p.m. and were conti-
nuing to trickle in after 1.30
in the morning. If the YM-
CA's program is suc-
cessful. other leagues may
soon start all over Metro
Toronto.
Midnight basketball
started in large UK.S.
cities plagued with
violence and drugs. Cities
like Chicago and New York
used basketball to get
young people off the
streets.
However, Alex Schulz- a
YMCA staff member who
helped to start the pro-
gram, said the YMCA's ap-
proach was different.
"We are not trying to
make a statement about
crime and services for
youth in Scarborough,"
said Schulz. "Lat night
hoops is an opportunity to
get involved in something
positive."
Players who showed up
Friday night knew exactly
what they wanted from the
program, a chance to play
and have fun.
Just ten minutes after the
first group of 17 players
finished registering, the
YMCA's clean, odourless
gym swelled with noise as
feet and balls pounded the
floor. Four players quickly
paired up and started a
2 -on -2 game.
One player, Frank Forde,
drove in from Pickering to
play. "I like to play basket-
ball," said Forde. "There's
very little basketball you
can play in Pickering in the
summer. "
The YMCA, located near
Scarborough Town Centre,
plans to run the program
until Aug.31. Players are
charged $100 for the sum-
mer. Assistance is
available for those who
need it, said Patrick
Williams, coordinator of
the midnight basketball
program.

the Central Ontario
Regional Tetrathalon, June
17 and I8. To date, entries
have been received from
nearly 80 competitors
representing 14 branches of
Ponv Club.
Tetrathalon is a veru
demanding competition
with four parts: swimm-
ing, shooting, running and
riding. Scoring varies with
the phase. In swimming,
points are given for the
distance completed in a fix-
ed time. In shooting, the
points are given for the
number of shots in the
target and their position in
the target (similar to
darts i . Running is scored
by time taken to complete a
cross-country course.
Riding is scored like the
cross-country phase of
eventing, with penalty
points for refusals, falls,
and taking longer than the
optimum time to complete
the course.
Boys and girls compete in
separate divisions in
Tetrathalon, and there are
three levels for each:
Junior, Senior and Novice.
The winners of regional
competitions have a
chance of being chosen to
represent the region at na-
tional and international
competitions. In July, Cen-
tral Ontario and Western
Onttmw will join forces to
host the national teams
from the united States, the
United Kingdom and the
Republic of Ireland and
Canada, as they tour prior
to the World Champion-

i etrathalon feeds into the
Olympic discipline known
as Modern Pentathlon,

substitutes stadium jump-

riding phrase.

COMMENT
Your Column's first two
items are about two older
plays both of which have
had interesting twists ap-
plied to them.
First, let's go to ....
DINNER THEATRE
In the 1940s Mary Chase
wrote a play intended for
the beloved character ac-
tress, Josephine Hull. It's a
gentle comedy about the
comic tribulations of a
woman whose pixilated
brother. Elw•ood's best
friend, is a six foot high in-
visible rabbit. The play is
titled "Harvey" the name
of the invisible and boon
companion.
We're not certain if Miss
Hull actually played the
tole on stage - it might have
been Mlanon Lorne - but the
brother was played by
Frank Fay. Since then,
many actors have played
the role including Joey E
Brown, Donald O'Connor
(a musical version) and
James Stewart in the mo-
tion picture.
The twist here is as
follows. Though intended
initially as a vehicle for the
sister, audiences have
come to love it because of
the brother and his friend-
ship for Harveyl. The role
of Elwood P. Dowd has
become one of the most
endearing and, apparently,
enduring ones in the world
of theatre.
Our latgest Elwood is Don
Knotts now appearing in
"Harvey" at Stage West.
The highest compliment to
be paid him is that we now
have difficulty imagining
amore else in the role. He
has made it his from first
entrance to final curtain
call. He is gentle• courteous
and - it must be said -
downright loveable. In-
deed• when it appears that
he and Harvey might have
to part, to satisfy society's
whim. one almost weeps.
He's contagious, too.
While making our devoirs
after the performance. we
kissed the hands of the
ladies as is our usual went.
One of them murmured
" A"hv, thank you Elwood'—
Gosh darn, we nearly in-
troduced her to Harvey.
Dodie Brown is another
delight as his sister. She's
shallow but not stupid, ex-
asperated by her brother
but still loving towards
him. Fact is, though her
comic misfortunes are self-
inflicted, one feels for her,
too.
The rest of the cast is jolly
good, especially reliable
Don McManus as a pom-
pous, silly ass psychiatrist
brought to earth by
Harvey, but the play
belongs to Mr. Knotts, Miss
Brown and, of course,
Harvey.
See it, for a gentle. feel
good experience.
ON TV
This Saturday on Global
you can see- and enjoy
"Paris or Something", a
twisted tale of a drifter.
Christy Mahon, and his af-
fect upon a lonely town on
the Canadian prairies. Mo-
tion picture buffs will
notice in it more than a
passing resemblance to the
James Cagnev movie
"Johnny Come Latey
Theatre lovers will quick-
ly note that "Johnny Come
Lately" and "Paris or
Sornething" are both based
on John Synge's play "The
Playboy of the 1A'estern
World". It was written just
past the turn of the century
and has long been a staple
of repertory theatre.
( Gregory Peck first gained
Hollvwood attention when
he appeared in its title role
at California's La Holla
Playhouse).

or television older works
continue to offer pleasure.

our expanded world will be
presented at Olympic
Island and selected
downtown clubs from
Aug. loth to 13th. There will
also be a free launch party
at Nathan Phillips Square.
We'll deliver updates as
and when. The reason for
early notice here is to ad-
vise of two opportunities
for our hopefully, loyal
readers.
The first, not surprisingly.
is that of experiencing Ra-
jputs cuisine before
heading off for the festival.
There are over 100 items on
the menu and one's choice
must be an individual one
but we recommend. from

The second is for per-
formers who're reading
this. The organizers of the
festival are looking for
buskers interested in par-
ticipating in the Buskers
Competition.
All entrants will perform
on the Friday and Saturday
nights of the festival along
Queen St. W. The winning
entrants will perform on
Olympic Island on
Sun.Aug.13th..the closing
day. Interested buskers are
asked to call Heather
Beaven at (4161340-96217.
Good luck.
Oh, one other item.
Among the foods- to beserv-
ed at the festiveal sits will
be smoked salmon and wild
rice. That's a long way
from the original burgers
and dogs.
IN PRINT
We approached "God. A
Biography" by Jack Miles
( Alfred A. Knopf) with in-
tense interest. Who
wouldn't" The mystery of
The Creator has compelled
human kind's thoughts
since we first acquired sen-
tience. ( The scholastic jury
is still out on whether or not
our fellow animals function
on anything more than in-
stinct).
Given that the author is a
former Jesuit we expected
that. despite the audacious
title, the book would
deliver further knowledge
and possibly. insight into
the universal question.
Alas., *God, A Biography'.
is rather much less than
a -dare we say it? - self in-
dulgent analysis of God as
revealed in the Old Testa-
ment, a book revered by
many but whose authentici-
ty is challenged by seeming
even more. In over 400
pages, Mr. Miles does little
more than paint his verbal
picture of a supreme being
with a personality; a con-
cept that is, or should be,
quite worthy of challenge
even by believers. He has
done so by taking the words
of Holv Writ - words also
subjeci to challenge - and
putting his own scholastic
spin on them.
The result is a work that,
at best, displays an ac-
quired knowledge of an-
cient writings and, at
worst, one that's cheekv in
the extreme and adds
nothing to the quest of
sincere seekers after the
divine mystery.
It might well be that the
author believes his well in-
tended works will open up
further avenues of explora-
tion for such seekers but
this reviewer cannot help

Seniors' Days June 20 - 22
At Agricultural Museum
Seniors are invited to take
a trip down memory lane
during Seniors' Days June
20 to 22 at the Ontario

ting country life and Men-
nonite culture will be on

foot Gambrel Barn where
most Seniors' Days ac-
tivities will take place. The

ble.
The Ontario Agricultural
Museum traces the evolu-
tion of Ontario's rural life

FAST EXIT
The provincial elections
are over and after ten
years in a self-inflicted
wilderness. Ontario is
hopefully back on the way
to where it should have
been all along.
Of course, no party can
stay in power for ever and
that's why the P.C.'s with
the aid of a complacent
Lieutenant Governor,
removed themselves in
1985.
Anyway, a return to nor-
malcy is welcome but let us
not forget the most impor-
tant lesson of self govern-
ment. It is that socialism,
no matter what one calls it,
never works. Regardless of
how had any government
might be, it must never be
overturned in favour of
well intended (maybe)
social engineers.
Bye bye Bobbie; it hasn't
been good to know you.

Sea World's Icy Adventure
"Wild Arctic"
"Wild Arctic", the most
ambitious project under-
taken in Sea World of

and also the largest at any
of the nine Anheuser-Busch
Theme Parks, opened on
Mav 24 at the Orlando
marine life park. "Wild

extreme it takes guests
where thev've never been
before - combines a thrill-
ing motion -based flight
over the frozen north and
up -close, real-life en-
counters with the majestic
creatures that live there.
"This is the first time that
an adventure film and
flight simulator technology
have been used in this
way," says William A.
Davis, executive vice
president and general
manager. "Rather than
simply serving as enter-
taining sensations, they
transport our guests on vet
another exhilarating Sea
World adventure. explor-
ing the Arctic and meeting
live polar animals.
"!Not only do you see the
incredible wild beauty of
that remote place during
the jet helicopter motion -
based experience, but at
"Base Station Wild

you feel the cold, witness
the harsh life, participate
in research and come nose -
to -nose with beluga whales,
harbor seals, walruses,
even polar bears, all while
on vacation in Central
Florida. it's an unforget-
table experience that we
hope will elicit a concern
among guests for en-
-ironmental issues impac-
ting the polar regions.
"With us. our guests will
discover a world beyond
their wildest
imaginations," says Davis.
To start their journey,
guests enter a hangar
where jet helicopters and
hovercraft are based.
Massive murals provide a
glimpse of the land they
will soon explore. While
waiting to board their
helicopters, guests are
briefed on the history of
polar exploration,
geographical information
about the Arctic, and - just
in case - cold weather sur-
vival techniques.
The important briefing
continues as guests learn
about the opportunity to
observe marine life and
help conduct research at
the outpost for which
they're headed. They're
told a powerful polar storm
is approaching, but the
pilot will attempt to outrun
it and get them safely to the
remote research camp,
'Base Station Wild
Arctic", before the
weather closes in.
As the chopper flies out of
the hangar, the Arctic land-
scape unfolds. The journey
is relaxing - at first - as the
sweeping, frozen vista is
filled with mountains,
glacier peaks and clouts.
The craft's diving and
banking levels out over the
sea, and passengers are
treated to a spectacular
view of narwhals, walruses
and other marine life.
Unsettled briefly byl buf-
feting winds and blinding
fog banks, the jet
helicopter swoops toward
the pack ice for a closer
view of polar bears. The
radio crackles a warning:
The blizzard is bearing
down. It's a stern reminder
that in the Arctic nature is
in control.
Following the frigid
Franklin Strait, the
helicopter skims low over
the Arctic sea. At Larsen
Sound, a huge glaclier fills
the horizon. Gently
touching down on the an-
cient, frozen floe, the
passengers are quietly ab-
sorbed with the spellbin-
ding view...until the deep
rumbling starts' The
helicopter is perched on a
calving glacier. Plunging
over the precipice, the
craft smacks into the sea
just as the rotors reach full
thrust.
Growing in intensity, the
storm batters the
helicopter, pitching the
passengers in the cabin.
The pilot makes a turning
dive through clouds and
snow and enters a narrow,
deep chasm he hopes will
offer protection from the
Arctic's fury. He's flying
only about a metre from
the walls, though, and the
echo of the helicopter's
rotors causes an avalan-
che: For frightening
moments on end, it seems
the helicopter will be over-
taken...
But, at last, the pilot is
able to fly free of the chasm
and "Base Station Wild
Arctic" appears in the
distance. Everyone
breathes a sigh of relief as
the craft lands safely and
the hangar doors close pro-
tectively behind them.
Though the flight has end-
ed, the adventurous
journey continues. Leaving
the helicopter cabin, guests
emerge into a strange
world — seemingly not of
this world - filled with
animals, rock, ice, water
and sky. It's spring in the
Arctic, a brief window of
time when scientists can
work. A chilly passageway
and swirling cold air give
wav to a vast, frozen
wonderland with ice walls
nearly one centimetre
thick. Harbor seals lie on
the ice. In the water a
beluga whale surfaces.
Here, the skeleton of an
old wooden ship juts from
the ice and rocks. Lost
while searching for the
Northwest Passage, it is
said to have been frozen in
the ice for 150 years. Con-
temporary scientists have
constructed a research
base around the shipwreck
and a new search is under-
wav - this one for informa-
tiona about the wild
creatures that abound in
the region.
Encouraged by a "Base
Station Wild Arctic" scien-
tist to seek shelter from the
frigid weather, guests ex-
plore the hull of the wreck-
ed 19th century sailing ship
which provides a unique
vantage point for viewing
Arctic sea life. Walruses
haul themselves out on ice
floes, fish sparkle in the
clear, cold water. Polar
bears romp among snow-
covered rocky outcropp-
ings as the broken,
weathered ship creaks and
groans.
