Where arc our Aldcrnianic
candidates9 Each of the 4 candidates for Alderman was
for Bill Miller who
provided no contact number) and
asked to submit a short piece to
the paper outlining their views
on the issues which they thought
were important to our community.
Each of the candidates was
told that the ItMNavs was delivered free of charge to almost
every household in both Boyle
St. and McCaulev. as well as

distributed through businesses
and agencies in the community
As you will sec on pages 7
inside, only five candidates, Joan
Gibson, Janice Fleming, Randall
Chase. Tookcr Gombcrg and Jane
Batty, took the time to let our
community know about them and
why they think they would be the
best person to represent our
neighbourhood.
Where arc the rest of the candidates'.' Do they think that wc
arc not worth their time?
Do they think that this atti
6--
tude will win them votes in our
polls"' Are they afraid to let us
know their positions on the issues which affect our community'.'
You will notice that many of
the candidates have confirmed
their attendance at the special
forum which will be held on October 14 th at the Sacred Heart
School Gym (see inside for details). However only 200 or so
people will be able to attend and
hear what the candidates say.
On the other hand, the
reach so many people in the community, many who arc unable or
will be unable to attend the forum, they should have taken a
few minutes to respond.
We certainly hope that this is
not the way the community will
be treated by the successful candidates after the election is over!

Sl'MTAl, TO TIIK BMNt.WS
On Sunday October 4. Ac
tion Against Johns (AJA) sponsored a civic election forum at
Villa Vesuvius which attracted a
good turnout of Boyle McCauley residents. Mayoral candidates
Bob Ligcrtw ood, Jan Rcimcr. Bill
Smith, and James Stcinhubl were
on hand to field questions.
AJA spokesperson Rick Jones
opened the forum by noting that
prostitution is not a "victimless
crime": community residents
who are harassed by johnsare
victims as arc the young 'prostitutes who arc pushed into the
trade.
McCauley resident John
Kolkman noted "street prostitution destroys neighbourhoods
and said too many good neighbours arc moving away because
of the problem. He demanded to
know what measures the may
oral candidates intended to take
to eliminate prostitution from
residential areas.
Another McCauley resident.
Gary Smith, said "johns arc an
extreme danger to our community.'' He knows of eight children who have been "hit on by
johns. ' ' I le also wanted to know
where the candidates stood on
rcmovingprostitution from neighbourhoods.
Candidate Bob Ligertwood,
expressing distaste for civil libertarians and the whole human
rights bunch., threatened stern
measures, especially for johns,
Although rejecting areas of tolerance for prostitution, he favours
brothels. Juvenile prostitutes arc to be offered "hugging-and-kissinJames Stcinhubl treated the
audience to his insights into the
origins of
sexual deviance, with references
to Freud. Adler, and Jung; then
summed up: "If you want sex,

prostitute, a john or a pimp-g- et

Bill Smith had a simple solution for the problem: more police "'Wc need more police on
the street," he said, "because wc
have to control the situation. It's
not going to go away." He favours moving prostitution out of
residential areas, "into a gravel
pit if necessary " Smith traced
the roots of the problem to lack of
jobs and education.
Mayor Rcimcr distinguished
between juvenile prostitution

Thanksgiving dinner of pizza pyrogies
A friend of mine had been given a case
of them and her family refused to eat
them We discovered that we really like
pizza pyrogies, so much so that after the
case was eaten up, I have searched the
stores, often without success, hoping to
buy more Turkey0 Who needs it0 We
want pizza pyrogies fried to a golden
brown and served with onions and sour
because my father v as Danish and much
preferred roast goose, and partly because my brother and m mother had a
distinct dislike for turkev
have carried on the turkevless
tradition at home Last year we had a

and thanks as well as for feasting If we

be thankful for With me. I am often

Steel screws are stronger than

THE IMPORTANCE OF VOTING
portant? Has it been because our representatives have been uncaring individuals? I don't
think so.
Rather than lack of interest or concern, I believe that our community has suffered from
lack of priority and I believe that this stems
from the low voter t urn-ou- t
which has historically plagued our com-
vote, we often end up
holding the proverbial
"short end of the stick".

will have the opportunity to ensure that our

to think that our representatives will treat all
of their constituents on
anequalbasis.it is naive
to do so.

Last month wrote an article about my
father abusing mc: my oldest brother. J immy.
being the hero in our family and defending
us when my father went on a rampage:
Jimmy and Bobby committing suicide: and
how lost and abandoned fell. There was
much more and I will share some of it. only
to illustrate how. to survive child abuse. I
had to distort the truth and my reality be1

cause I couldn't understand. I couldn't accept. I couldn't live with the pain of the
truth. But ala s the truth was there, deep
inside mc. in a'tiny centre part, fighting to
get out. screaming at mc and tearing mc
apart! And for many years the only way I
could find any peace al all was to drink or
lake pills to dull the pain, to find obli ion for
a while to run! The ironic thing is that
peace has only come since I hac been
willing and open to face the truth.
It was true that my father was a iolcnt
alcoholic and my mother a sarcastic, fanati
cally religious woman who didn't seem to
liac any loc in her at all. It was true that
Jimmy defended us against our father when-- c
cr he could and that my father and mother
ignored mc unless they were angry and
needed someone to kick around. It w as true
that Jimmy was the only member of my
family w ho talked to mc and treated mc like
a person who was special in some way It
w as true thai w hen it w as loo terrible for mc
I would take Lisa, the doll Jimmy had
given
mc. and go out to the barn and curl up w ith
the horses where it was warm. It was true
that those two horses were Jimmy s pride
and joy and one cold. Ontario winter night

Both of them got pneumonia and had to be
shot. Jimmy want cray when he found out
about his pets and talked to mc for hours,
spilling out his pain and sadness. I just sat
there in the barn and lei him talk, happy he
would share with mc and feeling his pain,
but not knowing how to help him. A few
day s later he set fire to our house and it
burned to the ground.
It was true that my mother and father
hurt mc. but I came to expect them to hurl
mc. so went deep inside myself and found
what I thought was a safe placc--- l could
protect myself from Ihcm!
What I couldn't accept as truth for
many years was that, after my father shot
his horses. Jimmy got cry angry and ended
up hurting mc much more than my mother
and father because I believed in him and
until then he had been my protector. He was
my family rolled up in one person and I had
no defences against him when he started

This city needs a comprehensive social and community development program that addresses

This challenge is the heart of
my platform We can achieve prosperity and security through social

On Monday,
October 26, Albertans
will join with other
Canadians in voting
on the Charlottetown
agreement that Canada's
leaders affirmed on
August 28.
Albertans need to weigh
the facts before they make
this very important choice.
It's a choice that affects
every A bertan , every
Canadian.
It's a choice that has the
potential to change the way
we govern ourselves and will
affect Albertans for generations
to come.
Public consultation, across
Canada, preceded the
formulation of the
Charlottetown agreement.
In 1991. Alberta's Select

Constitutional Reform heard
from thousands of Albertans.

Operation Friendship now had an
office in Ihc Boyle Street Community
e
Services building and had a
paid coordinator Seniors were
encouraged to come lo the office
where they could discuss their problems or they could just talk lo the
coordinator for mutual undeisland- inu and friendship The seniors par- part-tim-
ticipatcd increasingly around the office, volunteering many hours. They
were encouraged by the staff to organize themselves so that they could
contribute to the programs in the centre
During the summer of 1972 four
young student volunteers assisted in
the drop-i- n centre They gave the
seniors a new lease on life through
their stimulating presence and motivating initiatives The students obtained permission from the city to
develop a vacant lot behind Bissell
Centre (now partly occupied by the
Fire Hall) They transformed it into a
flower and vegetable garden and into
lawn v here seniors could enjoy eating
out of doors or just bask in the sun
In September 972. Alice I fenbest.
a former Bissell Centreboard member
and Operation Friendship volunteer,
was appointed to replace Maijorie
Gibson who had moved to Calgary
At the same time Betty Matwichuk
took up a new position as a drop-i- n
worker Alice's first act was to revise
Operation Friendship's statement of
purpose She and the volunteers
formed these policies

total needs.
To acquaint the elderly with all
services that already exist for their
use. and to help them make use of
such services. When people are contacted whose needs are other than
those covered by our terms of reference, to refer these individuals to the
proper source of help.
To supply aid in solving their everyday problems. When possible, and
to use common methods and philosophies of visiting, maintaining a consistency of approach among visits.
Funding for staffing had always
been a problem. We had relied on the
generosity of such organizations as
the Sacred Heart Men's Club, the
Junior League and the Alberta Service Corps All the funding was, however, short term
A program called "New Horizon" from the federal government
seemed to provide the solution to us
obtaining more permanent funding.
Monies available through this fund
provided us with stability of income
from June 1973 to November 1975
With funding secure, we could
proceed with further plans. The Bissell Cent re drop-i- n facil it ies had served
its purpose well since 1968, but by
1973 it had become cramped and
inadequate, Alice Henbest negotiated
with the Bissell Centre board of directors for use of the main floor of the
Bissell Centre annex for a second
drip-i- n
centre. (Id. Note: 'Ihc new
liovle McCauley Health Centre now
occupies the site where this building
stood.) The board granted the request
free of rent.
When the new centre opened in
June of 1973, seniors who lived north
of the tracks tended to use it while
those from south of the tracks visited

Boyle Street Community Services had been founded in 1971. It was
intended to be a system lo include all
the social agencies in the area who
would work from offices in the one

referrals.
The integration of services and
the establishment of a focal point for
community development were shining ideals. They were, unfortunately

Oeh at 10923 101 St. This bustling restaurant on the edge of McCauley has been
the successful enterprise of Ralph Maio
for the last 10 years.
We have had the opportumtv to meet
Ralph on a few occasions and have had an
occasional late evening beer in his
"Karoake' equipped lounge, but until
todav hav en't had the opportumtv to sample the cuisine
... And what a shame we didn't get
there sooner There were several choices
on the menu of the dav l.ingumi with
either a w hite seafood or red meat sauce,
stuffed pasta shells, seafood crepes, filet
of red snapper, and home made Italian
--
sausage in tomato sauce with peppers
and carrots. Prices ranged from $5 75 to
$7.50 with an extra $2.00 for a side of
pasta A large plate of salad was also
available for $1 50
All of the dishes are served from a
vour-choisteam table where ou can
have a look at all of the selections before
making your decision This same s stem,
we were told, is used in the evening, but
prices are about $ I 00 higher and there
are more selections You can also have

Wc don't know if every day is the same
(or the evenings), but on the dav that wc
went the restaurant was packed and bustling It appears that there are a lot of

We really enjoyed our lunch. We
both had the home made Italian Sausage
with a side of lingmni The sauce was
excellent and the meal was very tasty and
well presented Hie sausage had a hint of

li, folks! The summer is over
and once again we've started to
stay home a hit more often to
I
watch Hie occasional video. We'll
try to keep up with the newspaper deadlines this year.
Over the weekend we got "t
two modern "classics". The f irst
was Mel Brooks' Blazing Saddles.
As many times as we've seen this
film we still get a good laugh
from it.
The movie has a great cust,
my personal favourites being
Gene Wilder, Slim Pickens and
Alex Karas. They are all in supporting roles hut they are the key
to our overall enjoyment of the
film.
The lilm has some quite stupid moments, usually accompanied by the appearance of Mel
Brooks, himself. But they don't
spoil thegood scenes in the film.
(We also recommend Young
Frankenstein, another Brooks
film as an alternate, or in combination with Blazing Saddles il
you're really in a any mood.)
again, although having seen the
film many times, we thoroughly
enjoyed it. Dustin Hoffman (needless to say) is excellent in the
starring role.
Once again though, it is the
supporting actors who are the
key to the quality of this film; in
particular, lor our taste, Bill
Murray and ferry Garr.
A nice thing about these films
is that they are good family entertainment. Blaing Saddles
gets a bit raw once in awhile and
there may be the odd scene that
needs explanation but it is safe"

r fa m i
y v i ew i
ng. Too t si u, w i t h
its unusual insight into gender
roles, (an provide an excellent
stimulus for future discussions
on this topic with your t hildren.
Well that will have to do for
this mouth. Hope you all had a
nice summer and we are looking
forward to meeting you all at the
local video outlet.

pIant'inq
'in McCauIev
Fall is here! But in Ms.
Dostalcr's grade one class at
Sacred Heart School, it's not
without thoughts of Spring.
As a part of a unit on how
plants prepare for winter, the
students decided to get their
hands dirty. First stop was the
flower garden of a local resident. The children examined
and collected various flower
seeds. They plan to sort the
seeds in math class and plant
them next Spring.
McCauley Lodge was their
next stop where each child
planted a tulip in the garden
there. Annie Kwast, a lodge
resident, took a special interest in the planting having been
born in Holland-th- e
land of
tulips. For many children it
was their first experience of
planting. They arc looking forward to returning next Spring
to see the tulips in bloom.
