Remember those blueberry' pies that grand- ma used to make to feed the threshing gangs at harvest time? Or what about that corn relish that was stored in the cellar in old glass jars with a seal of paraffin wax? Maybe your grandmother made Russian borscht or German potato pancakes? or was her specialty French tortiere? Well, it's time to dig out those old handwritten recipes, which may have long been tucked behind the microwave cookbook and instant cake mixes! In celebration of our Cana- dian heritage in 1985, - Parks Canada-and Blue Mountain Pottery Limited of Collingwood, Ontario have joined together to sponsor a Heritage Cook- ing Contest at fairs across Canada this summer. To date, more than 200 fair boards have en- thusiastically agreed to par- ticipate. All judging and awarding of prizes will be made in conjunction with cooking contests at the local fairs. First and second prizes have been donated by Blue Mountain Pottery Ltd. and will be selected from the company's newest line of oven-to-tableware -- The Georgian Bay Collection. The Heritage Cooking Contest is just one of the thousands of events plann- ed this year in recognition of the 100th anniversary of the founding of Canada's first national park at Banff, Alberta. Members of the National Parks. Citizens Centennial Committee are working together with Parks Canada on the cook- ing contest, an idea which Wedding Dress- circa 1865. Belonging to Grandmother of Mrs. Skip Davis. oR Dressing the Part Betha Miller. started as a centennial pro- ject of the Ontario Region of Parks Canada and has grown to a national event. From Prince Edward Island to British Columbia, cooks are dusting off their recipes as they prepare to meet the challenge of cook- ing and presenting food as their ancestors did. If you don't have your own treasure of family recipes, other reliable sources are Canadian cookbooks, household manuals, newspapers, periodicals and almanacs. "Any recipe for foodstuffs may be used, provided the recipe dates from before 1900 and is from a Canadian source. A copy of the original recipe and notation 'about its source and history must be attached to the entry. Other covering notes about the recipe or product are also welcome, and a modern equivalent of the original recipe must be attached. It is proposed that judg- ing be based on a possible total of 100 points: 30 points for the recipe, 20 for the product, 30 for the presentation, and 20 for the modern equivalent recipe. Judges will be looking for such characteristics as whether a recipe relates in some way to the history of Canada, whether the ex- hibitor has used ingredients that were available at the time the recipe was used, whether the serving dish reflects the period and style of the recipe, and whether the modern equivalent recipe has been suitably adapted for uSes in today's kitchens. Participants are being asked to test their originali- ty, not only in their selec- tion of recipes, but also in an innovative presentation, such as bannock bread ina willow basket or tea scones on an antique cade dish. R. Benson Lilly, president of Blue Mountain Pottery Limited, says his com- pany's Georgian Bay Col- lection is appropriate as prizes in this Heritage Cooking Contest, since the products combine the old and the new. In the rich, warm colours of the terra- cotta clays that are mined in and around Blue Moun- tain, each item is decorated with a fired-on decal reminiscent of late nine- teenth century printing styles. They are glazed on the inside and safe for use in conventional and microwave ovens and dishwaters. Blue Mountain Pottery will also cover the costs of shipping the prizes, which will arrive well in advance so that they can_ be displayed at the fair. Parks Canada, which is part of the federal government department of Environment Canada, is dedicated to preserving the natural and cultural heritage of the country. In observance of the National Parks Centen- nial, all Parks Canada regions have full slates of activities which will take place in the national parks and historic parks and sites, as well as individual com- munities. Parks Canada is particularly pleased about the involvement of local fair boards in this Heritage Cooking Contest,» since fairs are where people meet to celebrate and enjoy the diverse cultural backgrounds which shape our heritage.

Long awaited "Spill Bill' proclaimed Ontario's Long-awaited 'Spills Bill" will be pro- claimed immediately to go into full effect November 29, 1985, Environment Minister Jim Bradley an- nounced today in the Legislature. "This legislation will provide a much _ higher level of environmental security and protection for the people of Ontario who. may be affected by spills of hazardous substanees,"Mr. Bradley said. "T am having this Legislation proclaimed just nine days after being swom in as Minister of the Environment." He outlined three essen- tial principles in the législa- tion: 1) "The owners, handlers and carriers of hazardous materials must take all precautions to pre- vent spills of those materials. 2) "Once a spill has taken place, those same parties bear full and ab- solute responsibility for its immediate control and cleanup and for restoration measures to undo any damage to the environ- ment. 3) Any innocent vic- tims who bear undo cost or suffer damage from a spill are entitled to prompt reim- bursement cost or suffer y William Allen Springer, former Reeve of Marathon and ex teacher at Marathon Public School was in court this week on 53 counts of immoral acts involving young boys. Mr. Springer was a teacher in Marathon for 25 years and had only nine . years -- before retirement. Mr. Springer was charg- ed with seven counts of in- decent assault on a male, two sexual assaults and one charge of buggery. The ~crown withdrew 43 similar charges. Defence counsel, David Cheadle told Judge Stanley Kurisko that Springer had "reached the gutter of his life" and he acknowledges he has a "detestable disorder". Springer has placed himself on a drug that causes a "chemical castration", which reduces his sex drive. damage from a spill are en- titled to prompt reimburse- ment and compensation. Mr. Bradley an-nounced that a new Environmental Compensation Commis- sion would be appointed as soon as possible to establish the necessary mechanism to hear applica- tions from spill victims for costs or compensation. He said the draft regulation is being changed so that the new commission can pro- vide more immediate relief for spill victims, rather than acting as a court of last resort which acts only after all other legal remedies are exhausted. He also set out his timetable for completing the implementing regula- tion so the legislation can take effect. The new regulation, prepared and circulated by the Ministry of the Environment, will be the subject of public meetings held by a special- panel to hear from all in- terested parties. "We will have to complete these meetings by the end of August so that industry and insurers can have at least two months to take any measures they require to comply with the law by the implementation date of November 29. Results in Springer Trial Springer pleaded guilty to the crimes to spare his victims the embarrasment of testifying. Springer's conduct toward the children is inexcusable. The major responsibili- ty of the courts is to pro- tect children. Dick Courtis, crown counsel, stressed that Springer's former job as a teacher, was a position "of the highest trust". It is a most serious offense when this trust is breached. Courtis said society would benefit from-having Springer on a rigid proba- tionary term and the first concern must be the long term protection of society. Cheadle, defence counsel, pointed out that Springer did have a normal upbringing. He comes from a secure family background. It was also stated by He stressed that the con- sultation on the regulation must be "quick and to the point, to ensure that there is no further needless delay in getting these protective measures in force."' "We are not debating the principles of the bill in this process. I want to make it clear that my government stands behind the basic principles pro- claimed in the bill itself."' He also announced ad- ministrative changes to im- prove response to spills by government agencies. A new spills reporting centre will be set up by the Ministry to provide a cen- tral 24-hour operation with a single telephone number. This centre will assess any reported spill and arrange investigation by Ministry staff or other responsible agency. In the interim; police forces will be provided with direct access to response teams through the emergency response number provided under the Transportation of Dangerous Goods Act. "*All of this is on a tight timetable which reflects my sense of urgency and the importance which I attach to this issue," he concluded. Cheadle, that Springer didn't have time for a nor- mal man-woman relation- ship because he was too busy with his extra cur- ricular activities in Marathon. Cheadle said this was part of the reason 'that has resulted in this tragedy of his life." The lawyer said the charges stem from contacts established solely at school. Judge Stanley Kurisko sentenced William Allen Springer, Friday, Ju- ly 19, 1985. Springer received the sentence as follows: Two years less a day in a provincial refor- matory plus three years probation. Mr. Springer must remain under psychiatric care. He could be released from prison in sixteen months or less. September 12, 1986 Springer returns to court to be sentenced on the charge of buggery.
