Ornnn Weeklv Times. Wednesday, January 14, 2004 - 3 Jfjp, ^ It can't be said other than on Wednesday of last week it was cold, cold, cold. The thermometer at home registered registered minus 30 and on opening opening the side door for a breath, I agreed with the thermometer without any hesitation. I did have some interest in the temperature as it was off to the city, late morning, with cousin Warren of Oshawa. It is something we do together seven times during during the year to attend the Mirvish subscription series of theater plays somewhat geared to the grey-headed population who do make up most of the audience in the afternoon series. / Over the past couple of years, it has been the GO Train into the city from Oshawa and then a hike to the theatre close by or up Yonge Street as far north as Dufferin. Last week, the hiking was wisely set aside for a ride up Younge and back on the underground Red Rocket as printed on the ticket. Upon entering the Winter idea what the show, Copenhagen, was all about other than it was not a musical. musical. I can say the Winter Garden is my favourite theatre. theatre. A little on the homey side--for it has been there for a long time. I am not a theatre buff by any means, but I have to admit that after two hours and twenty minutes, I felt that I had just experienced something more than just the usual--both from the cast of three and their presentation presentation as relating to the atomic bomb dating back to 1941. Copenhagen tells the story of two physicists, one Danish, the other of German descent meeting in Copenhagen in the autumn of 1941, both being knowledgeable knowledgeable of the atom bomb development to that point in time and well aware of the devestation it could wreak. The dialogue of the two on stage and the wife of one was not recorded from an actual meeting but rather a possible summation. I have to admit that there were numerous things I didn't didn't understand, but the account of the German and American bomb programs, and; which the two physicists' physicists' participated in is,taken ■from Historical records. ; the Toronto ' Star critic puts it this way: "If you are looking for something to sweep the cobwebs from your brain, then let me strongly recommend you pay a visit to Copenhagen." The next production in the seven-show series is a musical, musical, "The Producer." interested in the Outdoors?

Kendal man survives ATVaccident By Joan Anderson Jim Savage of the 8th Concession, Kendal is home from Lakeridge Bowmanville Hospital after less than a week, and is very thankful to be alive. Sunday afternoon, January 4, he came incredibly close to losing his life when his ATV which was pulling a load of small, short logs flipped backwards backwards over top of him as he tried to go up a steep hill. Jim added a few more logs than usual and felt they probably probably made the load too heavy, causing the backward flip. His left leg was useless, but his other leg and arms worked. The ATV was upside down so he could not use it to get home. Alone, without his dog this time, he assessed the situation. situation. It was about 4 pm, and darkness was coming. Arctic winds and snow were forecasted forecasted and he knew no one would come looking for him there, as he was about two miles away from his house at the bottom of a very steep ravine. His toque had flown off and was nowhere to be found !'He didn't have either a cell phone or walkie-talkie, but in the Kendal Hills neither would get a signal out to anyone anyone else. Considering these circumstances, circumstances, "it was either die there, of get out somehow" on his own. Jim crawled laboriously up the steep hill. Upon reaching the top he found two sticks, one to use as a cane, and the other to use as a makeshift crutch. He tried using a glove to pad the underarm section, but then his hand got cold, and so he put the glove back on his hand again. Praying for strength to make it home, he followed the ATV tracks back home slowly and painfully for about one and a half hours. He dragged his left leg as it was unresponsive and would not bear weight. He knew something was broken, but unsure what. His brother Ian, who lives with him, opened the door to Jim's repeated pounding and called the ambulance immediately. immediately. Once on the stretcher enroute to the hospital, Jim went into shock. Later, x-rays revealed his pelvis was broken on the left side. Healing time is estimated at 6 - 12 weeks. Jim is thankful to be alive and on the road to recovery, as are his children Bill and Echo, and the rest of his family, friends and neighbours.
