a family currently expecting her second child mrs smilovsky is also a senior flight attendant with american airlines and has been involved in producing a promotional film on boating francis king active involved busy lifestyle suits this wife mother by francis king can todays woman juggle a lifestyle that includes helping deliver a baby on a plane running a chil drens store putting together a movie and taking on the dual responsibihtes of being a wife and mother certainly she can at least if shes cynthia smi lovsky the 32yearold gormley resident whos second child or children it could be twins is due at christmas runs the kids general store in unionville and is currently on maternity leave from her posi tion as a senior american airlines flight attendant and it was on one of her flights that she met her future husband im a rarity a flight attendant who married a passenger said mrs smilovsky an american citizen and now a canadian landed immigrant in an interview last thursday i met my husband on one of the worst flights of my life seven tires that trip in october 1974 saw a 747 blow seven tires upon landing at chicagos ohare airport the plane was in danger of either losing a wing or going up in flames had the landing gear collapsed but as it turned out the flight was only held up for seven hours while the tires were replaced we were really in a festive mood mrs smilovs ky recalled noting she was rather glad we didnt have to evacuate the whole plane as for husband peter owner of california glass marine which produces sidewinder boats mrs smilovsky related their courtship was brief it was immediate we met in october and were married the following march her position as senior flight attendant gained through 12 years with american airlines allowed her before the maternity leave to basically work when she wanted that also meant allowing max imum time with fiveyearold daughter marlena no one wants to work weekends and i do she explained therefore i normally group my flights around weekends so marlenas always had one pa rent with her mrs smilovsky sometimes brings her daughter along on flights marlena usually enjoys the experi ence and theyre usually light loads so im not intermixing flight responsibilites with mother hood mrs smilovsky has also shared a manhatten apartment with another stewardess for the past nine years and her husband sometimes flies down to stay with her i actually have the best of both worlds she said a little bit of singleness of being a mother and being a wife perhaps the only aspect of the job that mrs smi lovsky dislikes is the commuting involved since she worked about 10 days each month every thursday or friday would mean driving to toronto informa tional airport flying with american to new yorks la guardia airport then taking public transit to kennedy airport store mrs smilovskys position with the airline has allowed her to branch out into other areas of interest chiefly her store the kids general store opened on highway 7 in unionville last december the locale she ex plained js ideal traffic wise and parking wise it is also in a home with the right surroundings a homey atmosphere from the time she decided to open a store mrs smilovsky took only another month to find a location and open i made a decision and in two weeks i had signed a lease she recalled from that point its been trial and error the kids general store is different because most of the stock sold there is second hand or previously enjoyed according to mrs smilovsky due to capital and the initial investment in volved it was better to go into previously enjoyed clothing she explained but i wanted to have both new and used and most of the secondhand places lack charac ter so i wanted to make people comfortable buying used clothing she added consignment she built up her used stock by advertising in local papers distributing pamphlets throughout the com munity and simple wordofmouth and while the concept of used clothing stores is fairly new in the markham area mrs smilovsky stated its crop ping up more and more because of our economy and how fast children grow out of clothes the used stock is sold on consignment meaning mrs smilovsky will sell the clothes for those who bring them in washed ironed and in fashion with the store taking 50 per cent of the selling price its running so smoothly now she enthused all the kinks arc out of it and i could get someone in here now for the couple of days im flying even with the store her job husband and daugh ter mrs smilovsky had things under control enough to take a major role in a short promotional film finished just last week the project was undertaken on behalf of the allied boating association a canadian nonprofit orga nization of marine product manufacturers and dis tributers the film was made to promote boating for women and mrs smilovsky cowrote the script and served as a production assistant the film is a montage of several different scenes depicting women doing what has been known as vir tually impossible she explained boating is a maledominated sport most women have a fear of operating an engine or manoeuvering anything committee mrs smilovsky has great hopes for the films suc cess noting it will be shown at the next januarys toronto boat show its probably my greatest achievement other than starting my store she said mrs smilovskys commitment to changing the boating industry goes further than that she was instrumental in forming the associations womens committee and now serves as its chairman she also addressed the 1982 allied boating association con ference and cohosted a seminar on women in boating im trying to dispel womens fears mrs smi lovsky stated its not a womens lib thing but they find themselves having to do things due to male absenteeism from divorce separation etc its also reaching out for a virtually untapped market she added quality despite all her activities mrs smilovsky makes sure she has time to look after her top priorities husband child and home im a firm believer that its not quantity of time you spend with them but quality she explained mondays therefore arc set aside by both parents to spend together and with marlena family trips to places like canadas wonderland are usually the order of the day with timeset aside to feed the cows ducks chickens and horses on their 35acre farm the one most important fact of all the obstacles ive had to overcome is i fully appreciate my hus band said mrs smilovsky hes quite a man a silent stone wall that doesnt crumble when i need him however a possible conflict between family and professional life could crop up soon with mrs smi lovsky being five months pregnant could this mean relinquishing some of her duties im hoping not she answered obviously if theres a choice to be made my children will come first her children are also one reason why mrs smi lovsky refuses to relinquish her american citizenship id never close the door for them to be educated in the states she explained adding she and her hus band may want to retire in the southern states one day but im a real canadian now she joked i can no longer smoke american cigarettes canadas a beautiful country and i wish more canadians would love it mrs smilovsky con tinued we do not know how unfortunate we are we abuse canada and its a shame scheduling putting together home life her store duties her flight attendant position and her boating activities can mean for an arduous schedule putting things into priority is the basis for mrs smilovskys time and we judiciously guard our free time that can be hard living where we are because all our city friends want to visit us she notes her lifestyle is not necessarily an exam ple of todays woman im a product of todays society theres a differ ence dont you think mrs smilovsky said im not a forerunner but ive been lucky enough to blend personal and business lives and so far on not too rocky a road there is a happy bridge for a woman its overcoming limitations but always knowing limits she believes handling several callings requires knowing your own inner strength being able to put things in perspective and wisely evaluating your priorities as a matter of fact if one can do that well enough as mrs smilovsky has then theres room for even more activities id like to get more envolved in community work in helping children she said with a smile vf i v y
