After the dance every one of the 50 townspeople there clustered around to give Beth a birthday kiss. It was an evening we won‘t forget. § During our first day on the Amazon, we arrived in a small town called Breves. Immediately after docking, we hosted a public visit to the Concordia. Natives arrived in small boats and canoes from all directions to see us, and engulfed the f shore watch stationed at the foot of _ the gangway (see photograph). Most of them had never seen a sailing . ship like J That evening we were all invited into the town where they put on a spectacular show of traditional dances for us. There were two groups including children aged 8â€"14 and adults. Both groups were extremely talented. Their costumes were beautiful and very colourful. The girls wore long full skirts and the men wore loose pants and shirts. They were all barefoot. My favourite dance was the "heart of palm" dance. Heart of palm is the local main industry, and with this dance they give thanks for it. Then we exchanged gifts of souvenirs from the boat, in return for brazil nuts and native fruit. Until next week, Dear Oakville: ours before. They were very excited Our Oakville head office staff, branch staff and associates wish Sarah more memorable adventures, and continued smooth sailing. nnnnn Mayor a subject of political speculation (Continued from page 3) dream realized," she says. (This may sound like mere rhetoric, but again, I don‘t think so.) Being tired is okay; it comes with the territory, the Mayor suggests. "Anyone who is head of a Town Council with today‘s economic situaâ€" tion and the general lack of trust in leadership has got to feel tired." The danger, she says, is when she starts to feel "weary," because weary is the forerunner to "burntâ€"out." Like everybody else, she adds, she is trying A Proud Sponsor supporting Sarah on her voyage to find a balance in her life. As pracâ€" tising members of the sandwich genâ€" eration, she and her husband, Peter, have responsibilities to aging parents (who happen to be several thousand miles away) as well as their children. With it all, she says, "I have it pretty straight in my mind that I have a leadership role and I‘m at peace with that." Interestingly, Mulvale seems to reject any kind of "feminist" stance. She is a woman, she admits; that is selfâ€"evident. We offer the perfect setting for your Holiday Season dining.

Call for more ormation Her home, at least, is a sanctuary. It‘s the Mulvale home, she notes, not the Mayor‘s home. "I am my own worst enemy," she allows. "I have an openâ€"door policy... I want to hear what people have to say. It makes me feel good if someone feels comfortable chatting with me in the supermarket checkout or at a sporting event. But it‘s a tough balâ€" Does she have greater political aspirations? She laughs and says she loves the speculation. She even admits she‘s been approached by all parties. Personally, she maintains that she has no political agenda. What happens â€" happens, she says. Her family still comes first. With one son at University now, and another one to follow soon will leave only her spouse, Peter, to consider. The Mayor has already said that while her husband has always supported her 200% intellectually, "emotionalâ€" ly, he really misses having a wife." Only time will tell. At speaking engagements, she has often invoked this quote:"Money is a poor excuse for not doing anything!" (By which she means passionate people can do just about anything they feel passionate about.) Precisely 25 years ago, a teenager named Ann Parkes came to this land for the first time â€" as a tourist. Her life was a daring adventure. She brought only herself... she brought plenty. There is no doubt, however, that when she entered politics, it was because women were underâ€"repreâ€" sented in the decisionâ€"making process in this town. First, she got angry and then she got involved. She learned a great deal in a short time by observing planning and council meetings. "But I see myself as a leader, not as a woman. My gender is coâ€"incidenâ€" tal," she says. One thing she learned is, "You can‘t solve problems by rearranging the players. You have to understand the fundamental flaws in the system and change the system," Mulvale says. "It can‘t be done overnight. It‘s a long term proposition and a hard sell in a society which has become used to â€" instant gratification." Mulvale actually likes being Mayor of Oakville "most of the time." Though being a public person has its drawbacks. RTHOPAEDIC ERVICES / tw like new. Call for a free ectimate. Offer mxplees _ Jassary 31/83 * Manual Wheelchair Service with coupon
