Orono Weelcty TIm.,~ W.dn.sday, Soptember 7~ 1994- ~ Orono Volunteer Firefighters head display at CNE. Letter to the Editor: Municipality of Clarington Clarington Day.

Its a matter for the surgeon to retira from South Africa. I bave iearned to shorten the iength of the day by getting out of bed much later in the morning and hitting the sack much e=lier in the evening. The only departure from that routine is a televised tennis match. Calling Wendell Watching and reading the news of the day heading to the September 12th provincial election in Quebec 1 would bave to say not hing bas changed as far as attitude is concerned from the days of Meech Lake and Charlottetown Accords. The apparent front-running political leaders, Parizeau and Bouchard continue to be unaccommodating in any effort keeping Canada togetber wbile Quebecers are supportive of their leaders but flot entirely of separation. In fact Quebecers seem to enjoy playing a cat and mouse game. "'hl nibbie the cheese - you try and catch me". Last week the ten provincial Premiers held one of their regular tete-a-tete in Toronto bost of Bob Rae. If my bearing hasn't failed me it was the Cbarlottetown Accord ali ver agaîn. - There is an anàwer in workirg togetber. We must remember the ten have a plan at Charolottetown wbich plan looked like Swiss cheese when the electorate across Canada finished with it. Canadians want to see Canadians treated equalhy as Canadians from sea to sea. No special status. It requires a strong central govemment. Canada will remain in turmoil until such time as Quebec 'ers emphatically demonstrate to their leaders that they want to remain as part of Canada and as Canadian although carrying their Quebecois habit. The scenario after September 12 may be înteresting to watcb providing Parizeau wins. With a Parti Quebecois win, there is no doubt the action in Quebecc will be directed to separation or some form of separation. Parizeau with his party wiil in the beginning be in the forefront. if we judge frora the opening innings of the current campaign in Quebec it was difficuit to determine whether Parizeau was leader or whether it was Bouchard. The two leaders had some major differences. Naturally Bouchard had to be muzzied both for his own good and that of the Parti Quebecois. Mfter the election this will al change and no one need flot think that Bouchard wouldn't like to sec he and bis party unfurl the Fluer de Lee over the Quebec National headquarters. Bouchard and the Bloc would flot like to fade away upon separation. The battle bas just begun in Quebec. For the rest of us we can't sit back silent forever and there is some trutb in what the Natives have to say. Maybe we should let the poliicians fight it out on their level. Forget about them and give our support to that great idie of the Maple Leafs, Wendell Clarke, who now piays for the Nordiques of Quebec City. A real Canadian boy, always giving it bis ail and willing, at is ripe age to learn french. So Wendeil brings the National Hockey Leagu e championsbip to Quebec City in 1995 no later than '96. Quebecers, ardent hockey fans, wîtb the Stanley Cup under their arm would bend over backwards to Ontario for the boan of Wendell and agree to one Canada. Q9ueen's Park ]Repot from Gord Milils MPP Durham East (Continued from page 4) makes my going away that much easier. If your answer to a letter is slower than usual I can assure you I wîll get to it upon my return. I use my computer solely to write with and perbaps I'm flot using it to anywhere near its ful potential. Lately I have seen advertised gaines of the beat-em- up and shoot-'em-up type in which players are encouraged to visit mayhem on their opponents using guns, missiles, fists, feet and anything else capable of being pressed into service. You TUESDAYS WEDNESDAYS THURSDAYS FRIDAYS SATURDAYS Dear Sir: This past weekend my husband and 1 experienced the "Great Ganaraska Countryside Adventure". For the second year in a row we had a wonderful urne. In fact, this year we persuaded a friend of ours, to corne from Montreal especially to go on the tour with us. She also had a simply fabulous time. She couldn't stop singing the praises of ail the interesting places we visited and how warmn and welcoming every single p erson she met had been. She bas already asked us if she can returfi for next year's tour and bring some more of our friends from Montreal with ber. I think that Kristin McCrea, al the other SAGA members (and their families!), and the very many volunteers who were on duty that weekend are to be highly commended for the excellent job that they did. As one of the co-ordinators for this year's Environment Fair, 1 realize only can now stalk your prey in the setting of your choice, armed witb your favourite weapons (using bare hands if this is your fancy). Aim a gun, and direction, trajectory and recoil wiii ail be faithfully calculated. I'm told tbat even the screams of the victim wiii be synthesized in 20-channel stereo giving a prognosis - life or death. Strangely enough when you have accomplished your mission, you can take off your helmet or wbatever, and listen with the same computer to a Chopin prelude. As 1 piod aiong writing this column, my brain asks just too well the magnitude of die task that they took on organizing and running this weekend. It simply takes over your life for a certain period of time and thats a lot to ask from volunteers who are flot being paid for their efforts. We really appreciated wbat they did. 1 tbink a big thank you is also due to ail those people who opened up their homes and properties to the hordes of visitors. We are grateful that you allowed us a glimpse of what life is like in the Ganaraska. It is definitely an area to be preserved rather than developed. By the way, after the tour our friend from Montreal asked us if Ganaraska was an Indian word and if so, from what tribe? As well, she wanted to know if it meant sometbing other than just being a place naine. 1 had no idea and it was too late to ask anyone. Can anybody enlighten me?
