I the HERALD Home Newspaper of Hallon Hills Established 1 A Division Canadian Newspapers Company limited Street Georgetown Ontario GARNET COWSILL and General Manager DAVE Editor PHONE 220 J STFVEN FOREMAN Advertising Manager Page SECTION A THE IIERAU Wednesday September IMS Well take horses Can the Board of Education afford to take over the management of a proposed educational centre That question was sorely missing from a con report on the Scotsdale farm property Bequeathed to the Ontario Heritage Foundation this 500 acre site near Ballmafad is home to one of the most beautiful farms in Ontario A report turned down a request by the Ontario Equestrian Federation to make the site a heritage horse park Instead it recommended a multi use site with a primary emphasis on outdoor education The school board would provide the management bookings and lease arrangements with other users of the site the report indicates What the consultants fail to see is that our school board doesn t have excess cash to flash around As it is our trustees are doing their best to stave off a taxpayer revolt over rising education costs Can the public be convinced another outdoor education site is required in a time when technical and job related credits are being stressed We think not We also take exception to a recommendation that a service club be allowed to set up a summer day camp for underprivileged kids Of course the concept is valid but there are numerous camps already available in Ontario with thousands of vacancies a straight camper subsidy be better than building another camp In our view it would be better to create a horse park and museum and provide a valid tounst attraction to an area desperately needing a drawing card If it s a choice between outdoor education and ses we 11 take the horses Not just an apple Over the next few days Boy Scouts will be visible in our community participating in Apple Day This is one of the few occasions when Scouting asks the community for financial support Your contribution is not buying an apple It is buying the benefit enjoyed by many boys in Scouting Scouts of Canada offers a challenge for the development of boys ages

Stewart The United States ambassador in Ottawa Thomas is new on the Job and this probably accounts for it lean figure out why he felt obi to apologize for the booing of O Canada at a New York baseball game If ever there was an overblown Incident this was it And the well meaning ambassador probably unfamiliar with our foibles still has to learn that what might excite Toronto newspapers particularly In tho sport area necessarily constitute an event of International importance In Tact It frequently not of Canadian Importance And if Nlles just looks at every thing carried by the Toronto media about that recent series between the Toronto Blue Jays and the New York Yankees he II quickly realize he over reacted just as they did Almost he should have giggled at the way we treated the whole business Instead he solemnly declared that most Americans indeed most New Yorkers were as deeply offended as were Canadians at the reaction of some spectators to the playing of the Canadian national anthem at Yankee Stadium last week I hope that realize that booing reflected excessive partisan spirit In support of the home team and not any hostility to Canada However he felt we deserved an apology and Ioffer It on behalf of that vast majority of Americans who feel I do TOO SERIOUS I suppose that if we were to carry this on to its illogical conclusion the next step would be for the Canadian ambassador in Washington to ize to New York Yankee fans for what Ihe Canadian le Toronto media said about them They were invariably called crazies animals obscene dangerous and frighten Because that series which would settle nothing in terms of standings was deemed of such monumental Importance many newspapers and TV felt it necessary to send feature and Investigative reporters along with their sports writers to tell us about Yankee Stadium and Its fans And 1 don think it unfair to say that we were generally led to believe the place was a sort of open air mental Institution TV stations even interviewed some Toronto fans who we were told breathlessly actually had the guts to cheer their team right In Yankee Stadium Brave souls they were It was to jumping between the lions and cheering for the Christians And after be treated to such descriptions of the monstrously horrid Yankee Stadium inhabitants wc suddenly feign surprise when O Canada Is booed It was no longer sports news It suddenly hit the front pages And it was right up there on TV National NOT EXPECTED What I wonder did we really expect from these beer swilling fans who we were led to believe would lay down their miserable lives for a Yankee victory Did we think they would stand stiffly at attention listen with rapture to the stirring strains of Canada and say How utterly divine Did we even expect that a majority of these people would know they were hearing a national anthem If so what country Where Is Toronto anyway Is Canada on the American west coast It was different when fans In Toronto booed the French version of O Canada a few years ago Most of them we can assume knew what thoy were booing and I know some who felt genuinely hurt about it However as I recall even Quebec Premier Rene Levcsque managed to keep it in perspective with a shrug He used a phrase about there being some in every crowd And that was that YEARS AGO After a close battle amongst three hard working well known candidates Liberal
