One of the most popular dreams, or call them fantasies, has to include a * '* to the South Pacific, and although most local residents will never be in a position to realize such . an ambition, they will soon have the opportunity to take part in an an- . cient Polynesian ritual. For the second year in a row, Brooklin will be the scene of a ritual '"Hangi"...pronqunced Hong- nyie...a Polynesian meal cooked underground as done by the New Zealand Maoris for large gatherings and festive occasions such as wed- dings for centuries. This marvelous event was the brainchild of Ted Rudolph, a native Maori who was born in New Zealand. Ted, and his wife Lise, a Canadian who lived in New Zealand for many years, have lived on Thickson Road in Brooklin for the past five years and are parishoners at St. Leo's Church. When the sub- ject of fundraising arose last year, Ted volunteered "to organize a Hangi. Ted is no beginner when it comes to putting on a Hangi. He has organized the extraveganza many, many times before. Lise told the Profile, the nice thing about a Hangi is that by tradition, the men do all the work. Sounds like a great idea! Local pair celebrate big 50th anniversary From page 16 64 and started to drive the school bus through Brooklin and Ashburn. For 11 years he would navigate from the Town Line Road, through the con- cession roads to Meadowcrest Public School and then on to Ander- son High School. He was also award- ed a 10-year safety driving award for his conscientious efforts. "Today some of those kids I used to drive say 'hello Mr. Emm', but they have grown up and even some are married and have children of their own," said Syd smiling. "I just don't recognize them'till I ask them their name." . Syd and Bertha are proud of their little Canadian family. Gerry is married to the former Betty Post (And they | have four children; Julie, "Michael, Paul and Gregory. Tony is "married to the former Sharon Hopkins and they have two children; Andrea and John. At a reception held at the home of Tony and Sharon last Friday night, . many friends came to extend their warm regards to the happy couple. They also received congratulations (\ BROOKLIN MASON HONOURED At the annual communication of the Grand Lodge A.F.& A.M. of Canada, in the Province of Ontario held recently at the Royal York Hotel in Toronto, John G. Gregg (Jack) of Ferguson Avenue, Brooklin was elected to the office of District Deputy Grand Master. Jack is a member of MT Zion Lodge No. 39 in Brooklin where he was Worshipfull Master in 1977. from Governor General Jeanne Sauve, Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, MPP Mike Breaugh and MP Ed Broadbent.

As acting mayor, their son Gerry offered best wishes from the Town of Whitby. Meet your sports heros at dinner ex-Leaf, now with the Winnipeg Jets, will also be in attendance. But it is the local athletes who will be spotlighted...Anne Ottenbrite, Olympic gold medal swimmer; Glenn Beauchamp, who won a bronze medal at the Olympics and who is Canadian Judo champion; Joe Nieuwendyk, member of the Minto Cup Champion Whitby War- riors and a member of the Canadian Junior Hockey squad, and Darryl Taylor will all receive the recogni- tion they deserve. Cocktails are slated for 6 p.m., with dinner at 7 p.m. Tickets are $15 each and are available by calling Rick Roberts 668-9933, Keith Wager 668-1612, Gord Attersley 668-5044, at Peacock Sports or Whitby Legion. Ted will first dig a huge pit into which he places large stones. Over the stones, a large mound of wood is placed and set to burn itself down to ashes. At this point, the ashes are remov- ed from the pit, the stones cleaned, and then placed back into the pit. 'As you can gather, it's a very hot job," laughed Lise as she explained the procedure. Now. the meats and vegetables, which have been previously prepared and placed on special cooking racks, are lowered down on- to the hot stones. Last year, Ted us- ed a combination of lamb, pork, beef, chicken, potatoes and corn on the cob. And what a delicious com- bination it was. The food is then covered with wet sheets and sacks before the dirt is piled back on. In about three hours, the delicacies have been steamed to perfection and are ready to eat. If your mouth isn't already watering, add to the feast salads and desserts, homemade by the church women...and refreshments. But there is still more to come. There are games for children and adults alike and the Rudolphs have arranged for over a dozen members of the Tranzac Club, a cultural group from Toronto, to perform native Maori songs and dances in- cluding the poi dance and stick dance. One of the more applauded events last year was the 'hula' dance done by several young girls and the "war- riors" dance performed by the men. Last year's Hangi was an im- mense success, with young and old alike enjoying the fun. Everyone is invited back on the Labour Day Weekend again this year and the event should prove to be better than ever. The Hangi will take place on the grounds of St. Leo's Catholic School, North Street, on August 31 (rain date September 1) starting at 10:00 a.m. That is when Ted will be doing all his preparation. The meal itself will be served at 4 p.m., so bring your lawn chairs and plan to have a great time. The charge is $10 for those age 16 and up, $5 for children three to 15 and those under three are free. There is also a maximum family rate of $30...a bargain in anyones money. Tickets are available up until August 24 and may be obtained by calling Lise Randolph 655-4627, Byron Grace, 655-3677, Martina Van Hout 655-4569 or Father Moloney 655-3286.

PATINA! ed Le Ca EE EY CE EE EE CD EE CR EE Pill Muddle Syndrome Most of us have found that even to take a single medication for a week is not easy to manage without missing a dose. When more than one medication is taken over a long course the scope for error and confusion increases. Many of the people on multiple medications are ill or elderly. A common error is for the patient to miss doses and get no benefit. The doctor, assuming his directions have been followed, increases the dose resulting in an overdose. Patients may assume, for no good reason, that they should stop taking a regular medication when started on another. Or they may continue on medication that the physician wanted stopped. It will greatly help the physician to monitor medications if all pa- tients on extended drug programs see their physician regularly and take the bottles of all medications that they are currently us- ing with them. This includes "over the counter" medicines. Even an Aspirin tablet may affect another medication.
