12 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Wednesday, October 11, 1989 Off The Top Enjoy a challenging career in analytical and investigative work vital to the protection of Canada - be a junior spy! It was with my tongue in cheek (and visions of James Bond dancing in my head), that | read an employment ad for the Canadian Security Intelligence Setvice which a friend had handed me. "You've got to be kidding", | said, "the government wouldn't advertise for spies in the Oshawa Times, would they?" | couldn't understand it whan | discovered that it was true, and according to a Canadian Press story, the recruiting cam- paign would run in major papers across the country. Have in- quiries into Mountie activities made our fearless political lead- ers run scared? Or is there some ulterior motivation involved? Of courses, not just anyone can be a junior intelligence offi- cer. One must be a loyal "Canadian citizen, possess a univer- sity degree, be prepared to work in any city in Canada and un- dergo a stringent selection and training process." It is important to note that CSIS is an equal opportunity employer! | sat back and considered myself running through foreign countries, sending coded messages, spying on secret meet- ings. wearing trench coats, fancy suits and dark glasses - nah. "This unique opportunity for personal growth, professional challenge and service to Canada," is only worth $28,460 a year to the government, so don't hurry to send off your resume be- fore you consider if a life of intrigue is worth moderate wages. Training, once you pass the "stringent selection," will begin in Ottawa where green recruits will learn basic intelligence tradecraft before starting on careers either as investigators or analysts evaluating the secrets collected by others. Then, on your first assignment, you might be assigned to peek in the windows of the white house, run a tap on the leader of the op- position or rifle through the desk of a deputy minister. | still can't believe it, advertising for members of the public to come forward to be 'skulkers in the shadows'. Only five years after the agency was formed to replace the defunct RCMP Security Service, officials have decided that good cops are not necessarily good spies. CSIS has retired many former RCMP and plans to fill 50 be cent of the positions with civil- ians. Ordinary people just like you and I. If you are ready for extensive checks on your personal background and even being wired up to a polygraph so that the depth and breadth of your loyalty can be Sune, join the line at the CSIS recrutiing office - deadline is October 27, apply ear- ly for best results. Ordinary looking, inconspicuous people in plaid, polyester suits and vinyl shoes should note this on their resumes - they will be first selegted for the undercover work. Scugog Christian School students experience pioneer life at Museum Last Friday during *'C"' week, the kindergarten class went to the Scugog Shores Museum and saw candlemaking and weaving lear- ning something about what life was like in the log cabin where these two crafts were demonstrated. Ricky VanAndel enjoyed the visit but told his mother 'it wasn't a real museum because it didn't have any dinosaur bones!" They also enjoyed a Cabbage Patch party that week, complete with cocoa and cupcakes, made by the children themselves. This week the kids did activities in preparation for Thanksgiving, on Wed. Oct. 11, the children will go to Mrs. Van Eyk's home, make a special Thanksgiving Day dish and enjoy a second Thanksgiving dinner together. The one and two class began their unit on water last week with a Water Olympics. Due to the weather plans were altered a bit, but bobbing for apples and a sail boat race took place.
