A park with a difference Looking for something different this year for a few days holidays we picked Frontenac Provincial Park, north of Kingston, to visit for three days and Iwo nights. The park is one of 261 operated by the province that boast of some eight million visitors annually. Frontenac is somewhat different than other parks in ils use other than Algonquin and Quetico. It has a total area of 70 square kilometers and is dotted witb 17 lakes of various sizes. It features 13 cluster camp sites with on average three individual camp sites to each cluster. The clusters are well spread out over the entire area with Most well secluded in what tbey caîl the backcounitry. .There is no such thing as driving your car to the camp site. The camp sites arce reachcd by canoe or waiking trails. My choice was canoe even though 1 hadn't been in one for years. It meant a rental at an outfitter at the park enîrance aiong with lifejacket and two paddles. "But I only need one paddle'. "The second is in case you drop one in the lake you'Il neeM a second to retrieve it". That had to bc a good tbought. So it was off to lauinch the 58 pounds of Kelvar that was strapped to die top of' ic car and Joad the beast with anothecr couple of packs and dangling pots and pans and of course binioculars, bird books, fishing pole and the list seenied 10 go on for ever. Finaily 1 was afloat and set out on mny destination somne six or so kilometers up the lake. 1 macle the six km and hiad then entered int a smnall lake wlien thc wind began to blow and dark- clouds began to rollnin. No way was i to gel caughit in a storîn 50 il was miake camp on rough terrdin.

S AVEU THE1 pleasant even though I had not reached my destination. Il was on this smnali lake that we enjoyed the cry of îwo boons who had with themn two juvenile young. As we waîched them three other loons flew in for a short stay being herded out by the resident boons afler some haîf hour. There had been enough activity physicaily that 1 needed no sleeping pilis that night. It was break camp at day break and final arrivai aI my designated site around noon after a short portage. Up to Ibis point 1 had not seen anyone and Udlt that I must be the only one in the, park. But I did find that 1 did have neighbours a young couple from Kingston wbo were hicking through the park for a four day period and travelling to four specifie sites on Ibeir venture. it would bc raIber difficult for me to express -the beauty of the scenery and the solitude that exisîs in the park's backcountry. Oni y Uic breeze tbrough the trees and the catI of thec bons and some birds were heard. .But the world can go ail silent in the backcountry and you become fixated with oniy the sound of the dip of thc paddle. 1-The time was fiiled withi canoeing and hiking and oU course time for a couple of imeals, mostly bacon and eggs, cheese and crackers and frcsh fruit. There was of course one exception and Ibat was Uree cobs of corn I had purchaseil but found that 1 had no pot for boiling. Strippcd al thc silk from Uic cobs, pulled back the husks and wetted the cobs thoroughly. Pullcd the husks back in place and tossed them on burning embers of the camp lire. No need 10 carry a pot - excellent results. 1 did make il back safely tooIthe poinît of beginning and drove to Kingstonî carrying a lot of memories that will bc around for a long lime. LANDFILL SITE.

Nel Menitor EdItion01 The Olympie beyday is over for another four years. By the time the 1996 Oiympics roll around many changes will occur. This years winners may be retirees, Ibis years beginners wiil finally become serious mnedal contenders, several new faces wili emerge and new heroes wili be made. The spirit of the Olympie games seems to have been lost. Increased commercîalism plays a big part in this. Because of thc air lime ailowed and the sponsorship contracts provided, only highlights of the gamnes are availabie. This shows us oniy thc winners, and those few who one person deemns good enough for us 10 watch. Olymnpie heroes are not oniy those who are the winners. A goid medal hanging around your neck certainly is a sign of years of dedication, perseverance and loyaiîy to your sport paying off. But strengtb of character and of heart aiso make a hero. Let's look first at our Canadian athietes. Naturaily we are all proud when we sec one of our own standing on the podium, wiUi the sun giinting off Uic medai that hangs around the neck, and -the strains of Dur national anthem being heard ove r the chccring crowd. But we donit pay enough attention to those Canadians who wcre goo d cnough to make il 10 the Olympies, but not fortunate cnough 10o have the experience, good fortune, or whatcver that littie sometbing extra it takes to become an Olympie mcdalist. The fact Ibat Canadian rower, Siiken Laumann recei.ved a bronze medai is simpiy icing on the cake. It is thc determination, strength and sheer will to compete after an accident that could have jeopardizcd her carcer, that shouid bc admircd in Laumann. Internationaily speaking, look, at the athîctes rom Croatia. A country Ibat bas bareiy had time 10 form, produced îwo fine athîctes. Neither wcre '"winners", but both had Uic courage to corne to the gaines and give il their best despile a lack of training facilities, and even proper mnourisiiment. And what about the athîcte that had 10 train in ic streets of Bosnia-Herccgovinia, despite the gunfire, turmoil and danger that iay aIl around-ber. The Kuwati soccer tcam, coming from a ravaged country wherc there is not even a soccer pitcb for thcm to practice on. And the athîctes from Uic Unified Teain, who will compete as a team for the iast time Mèfre facing an uncertain athietic future in an uncertain homeland. Athîctes that despite searing pain from an injury, fmnished the race because that was what Uiey camne to do. Athietes who had a chance to gra b for Uic goid, but, failed and stil had the courage bo say " maybe in '96". These are the true heroes. of Uic 01 ympic Gaines.
