N. and rom her first collection of ° apartments in the city have been destroyed. There are reports of atrocities, (people cut up alive) concentration camps where conditions are brutal. In Slavonski Brod, there have been more than 700 civilian casualties, including 80 children. In fact, the situation became 80 tense, that for the last four months Joe and Maria had been living in a small cottage away from the city. "It looks like a civil war, but it's not," said the soft-spoken Joe. "It's more savage than World War 2," he added. He was just a youngster then and still remembers the bombing and shelling. But in this war the Serbian forces are well armed with heavy guns, even Scud missiles, and Joe says, they prepared for the invasion for more than two years. The Bosnian and Croatian forces on the other hand are under-gunned and nobody seems to want to do anything to help them other than humanitarian aid. When asked what it will take to end the fighting, Joe said quickly "intervention by the west. If that does not come, this war will go on for a long time. There will be no peace in Croatia as long as the war in Bosnia goes on," he stated. He knows there are American war-ships in the Adriatic Sea, within easy striking distance by air, and he wonders why there has been no intervention. After making the decision to leave, Joe and Maria contacted the Canadian consulate, got the necessary papers and finally were told to make their way to Zagreb. What is usually a two hour drive took more than seven harrowing hours by train through territory held by Serb forces. From Zagreb, they flew to Hamburg and from there to Toronto. It was several days before Maria got her nerves under control enough to even venture outside. "Every time there was a noise, she thought it was the planes coming again," said Zelka. Joe and Maria have two daughters and three grandchildren who continue to live in Croatia. They are not in the war zone now, but who knows what the future holds. The couple are in Canada on six month visitors visa, sponsored by Zelka and her husband. They want to return home, but not until the war is over. If the visa runs out, they will apply to have it extended. Zelka herself was barely out of her teens when she fled Yugoslavia in 1966, walking across the Alps with friends to find refuge in Austria, and eventually making her home in Canada. The long wait for Joe and Maria took its toll on Zelka who didn't know for days where they were or if they had permission to come to Canada. Now, she said, they are welcome to stay as long as they like. "They are family. They can stay with us even if we have to eat bread and water," she said with a smile. Deer 'crashes' meeting at S.A. Cawker School Members of the Parent Advisory Committee at S. A. Cawker School got a shock last Thursday evening when a deer came crashing through the window of the school staff room where a meeting was taking place. There were seven people at the meeting when the deer "came flying through the window," according to Diane Hooker who was there. "It was lucky there was nobody standing or sitting in front of that window," she said the next day. Those present managed to get out of the room and a custodian shut off the lights. The deer knocked a door off a . stove before exiting the same way she came in: via the window. The deer was cut from the broken glass and there was blood smeared on the walls and floor of the staff room. Once outside, the deer walked across the parking lot towards, houses opposite the school on Old Simcoe Street. Durham Police Inspector Ross Smith said Monday there have been no reports of the deer being found. And it's not known just how badly injured the deer was from the incident. He did say there have been several reports of deer running into the path of vehicles in the last few days.
