Imagine the agony are euthanized at local animal or hu- if that was your pet that had gone REVIEW a from Crystal Pages THE SLAVE By Isaac Bashevis Singer Winner of the 1978 Nobel Prize for Literature, Mr. Singer's earlier work gained great fame, as evidenced by 13 separate printings of 'The Slave'. It is a powerful love story set against the exotic background of seventeenth-century Poland with all its superstitions, witchcraft and witch-hunts, abundant life and appalling prejudices. Though richly rooted in the folklore of its period, The Slave has such a strong, compelling story to tell that its appeal is both contemporary and universal. As written in the Yorkshire Post at the time of First Printing, "The tale is tragic and warmhearted, full of mellow wisdom learned through suffering".

In spite of frantic phone calls to the local veterinary clinic and animal control no trace is found. The misery and heartache can be overwhelming. overwhelming. Many times lost pets can and do wander great distances and are out of any area that owners think to check. Sounds impossible? Over 90% of animals found have no identification identification and over 70% of these animals animals fail to be reunited with their owners. If only there was a way to identify your pet that was universally recognized in Ontario by Shelter groups and that was easily checked. There is! Currently, it is common for purebred purebred dogs to be identified by a tattoo on their flank or ear. This tattoo is often often inserted when the puppy is young, using a clamp technique. Though the tattoo may look great at the time of completion many times is becomes illegible with time. Also if the animal is fearful or aggressive at the shelter it may be difficult or impossible impossible to examine, causing failure of the tattoo identification. This is also the limitation of the pet identification identification program started by the Ontario æ Veterinary Medical Association. ' These tattoos are usually more legible legible but the animal may not allow the ear to be read. An alternative that utilizes the latest latest technology in electronic identification identification is now available. It is a microchip microchip that emits an electronic signal detectable using a scanner that all shelters in Ontario have been provided provided with. The implantation procedure is no more painful than a vaccination and is usually done in your veterinarian's veterinarian's front office. The owner's pertinent pertinent data is linked to the microchips number and is stored in the Petnet system for retrieval by animal control groups, veterinarians and rescue groups. There are no annual fees and any change of address or phone number number is easily made. This is the best system of identification that I have seen to date and should help many more lost animals to be reunited with their owners.

We all know what those arc like. From the trivial to the catastrophic, life tends to throw us a few curves when we least expect it. For Bradley, the curve ball is his son's play, which is based on his family. Shocked by what he fears may be in the play, Bradley forbids his son to produce the play. This is only the beginning beginning of the action in The Cocktail Hour, the Bowmanville Drama Workshop's latest production. Written by A. Gurney, the playwright playwright who brought us The Dining Room, another BDW production of some years ago, the play is a witty and fast-moving look at the genera- ' tion gap. Bradley and Ann arc in their seventies and arc a product of their era. Bom in the early 1900's, the couple have lived through two world wars and a depression. Playing John is Randy Aldread, an active member of the Workshop for the last 20 years. His most memorable memorable roles were as Michael in The Dining Dining Room and as the choms girl in the 1989 version of And Miss_ Reardon Reardon Drinks A Little. In 1985, he directed directed The Hand That Cradles the Rock. A recent graduate of the Arts and Entertainment program at Durham Durham College, Randy has worked on the Miss Saigon and Crazy For You productions. Playing the part of John's father, Bradley, is John Amcsbury. He has been a part of the theatre scene in Bowmanville since 1960. John has recently retired from Clarke High school where he was a drama teacher. He also directed many school productions productions there. His last acting role was in last spring's Appointment with Death, playing Dr. Gerard. Cast opposite John is Elizabeth Prower as Ann, Bradley's wife. Elizabeth Elizabeth is a teacher at O'Neill Collegiate Collegiate in Oshawa. She has been with the Drama Workshop since 1960. She has acted in The Wayside Motor Inn as well as And Miss Reardon Drinks A Little. Another character in the play is Nina, played by Pat Marjcrrison. Nina is the eldest child in the family. She has been the one to help her parents parents with whatever needed doing. Unfortunately for her, this has made Nina ignore her own dream. Another veteran member of the Workshop, Pat has worked in numerous capacities capacities on. numerous plays. She directed Tribute (1988). and Noises Off (1993), was in charge of lighting for Voyage Around My Father and stage managed for Appointment With Death. Her acting experience in- • eludes Dames At Sea, Gypsy and The «Dining Room ' '■'if.' Directing this experienced cast is Jean Sheridan who also directed Voyage Voyage Around My Father. Jean's previous previous works with the Drama Workshop would take too long to list, although she has worked on the last two plays Noises Off and Appointment With Death. Her advice is always sought by actors, directors and the crew. When it was learned that Jean was directing directing The Cocktail Hour, there was a mad msh to sign up to audition and to help out with the play. A fan of : Gurney 's, she is quick to point out the similarities between Gurney's own life and the lives of his characters. characters. As his own character says, "people "people will sense it's a personal play". So, if you have had a bad day or a bad week, come and see how Bradley copes in this entertaining and thought-provoking play. It will assuredly assuredly help you forget your troubles. You may even win tickets to the BDW's fall production or tickets and a dinner for two at the Flying Dutchman Dutchman Hotel.
