That is what Bruce Stan- ton, candidate for the Pro- gressive Conservative nomination in the new riding, is trying to convey to the people of this area. Despite the fact that all four candidates in the leadership nomination for the riding that has four ma- jor communities, live in Muskoka, Stanton says he doesn't see why any com- munity should be under- represented by a Conser- vative MPP. Roughly 15,000 voters live in the Midland end of the new riding, and 28,000 in the Muskoka portion which takes in Huntsville, Bracebridge and Gravenhurst.

This year, the Wye Marsh staff has designed brand new programs for children to enjoy over the holidays. The Predator- Prey game will be fun for everyone, says Catherine Barrett, staff naturalist. Each child will play a role - from the biggest carnivore to the smallest decom- posers in the food chain. "This game will explain quite clearly how the food chain works, and it's a fun way to learn', says Barrett. "We've adapted it to il- lustrate the life cycle in nature. It's an active, out- door game"'. Naturalist Tim Tully has been working on "'Battle of the Beaks", an activity which will help children identify birds. "Beaks are shaped dif- ferently for different uses: crushing, straining, prob- ing, tearing and so on", Tully explains. Familiar household utensils such as pliers and gravy basters will help to illustrate how a bird's beak is adapted to its food supply. Transforming a child in- to a beaver or a toad will also be part of the Wye Marsh magic, says senior naturalist Bridget Laurin. Dressed up in pelts, claws, nose valves, webbed feet and other beaver and toad accessories, kids can im- agine what life is like for a wetland creature. Making a living por- cupine potato planter, building a bird house and playing Animal Bingo are a few of the other activities planned for March Break at Wye Marsh.

In his campaign package Stanton, 29, lists as one of his strengths his knowledge of tourism gain- ed through managing his family's resort. Although the Liberals and the New Democrats have spent the bulk of their time fulfilling the promises of the 1985 election, educa- tion and the environment are two important issues which have not been handled by the govern- ment, he said. The Liberals' popularity stems from the public > perception of the party as being up-to-date. Premier ° David Peterson "certainly is a new face." The Conservatives are facing the fact that the year is 1987, Stanton said. A core group of party members believe that benefit programs, although not perfect, have to stay in place.
