@ For Adults Only draws
audience in to portrayals

Theatre Energy's new pro-
duction For Adults Only opens
Nov. 13 at Studio 80 at The
Canadian International Col-
lege in Nelson.

For Adults Only — a look at
drug and alcohol abuse and
communication between teens
and parents — grew out of sea-
sons of school touring with an
earlier participatory theatre
piece entitled Calling the Play,
also about substance abuse, a
news release said.

“We found that kids desper-
ately wanted to talk to their
parents but felt that they
couldn't,” said Judith Ceroli,

Adults Only.

The production is experi-
mental theatre and mie a work
in progress. It uses dramatic
Pp a ls of family si i
and challenges the audience to
come up with healthier ways to
open up rather than shut off
communication, the release
says.

The production is also an ef-
fort to re-establish Studio 80 as
a “unique theatre venue in the
community,” the release says.

“We're very interested in be-
ing involved in community-
based programs like this one,”
said Jenny Stevenson, confer-
ence-event planner for the col-

needs to be sensitive to the lim-
itations currently affecting
Studio 80,” she added.

Ceroli said that despite the
serious subject of For Adults
Only, “the production is inter-
esting and fun for the audi-
ence. We're hoping that par-
ents and adult friends of teens
can find it useful and have an
entertaining evening.”

A four-member cast — San-
dra Ferens, Jamie Norris,
Sean Hoy and Jillian Fargy —
cover 16 characters.

The crew consists
Michael Graham, Leigh
Siggms, Kachina White, Sally
Mackenzie, Nancy Lee Smith,
Gwynneth Powell and Penny

This type of logic leaves your
process of thought captive. You
are locked in, unable to freely as-

The Lord Jesus said, “Ask and it shall be giv-

shall be opened to you.”"

truth, the truth made visible.

“I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no

Put your faith in Christ and you will know

SPECIAL TO THE NEWS

If you pay any attention at
all to nature, you can’t help
but notice that most of the
birds that have been here all
summer have now disap-
peared. Where have they
gone? Why did they go while
other birds stayed behind?
How do they know when it’s
time to go?

How do they navigate over
such large distances? And
when they return in the spring
how do they find the same re-
gion and sometimes the same
tree that they nested in last
year? e

There are two main theories
that attempt to explain why

jirds migrate instead of re-
maining in a suitably warm
place all year long.

Some ornithologists believe
that migration began with the
coming of the ice age. Prior to
the ice age the climate in the
northern hemisphere was
much warmer than it is today,
in fact parts of Canada were

ice obviously made it i
ble for birds to survive. They
either moved south or died off.

Following the ice age, the
climate in the northern hemi-
sphere changed, but it did not
return to its pre-ice age
warmth. The new climate now
featured four distinct seasons.
As the birds recolinized Cana-
da, they found that some food
items were only available at
certain times of the year.

It is this temporary lack of
food, not the cold tempera-
tures, that forces northern
birds to vacate their ancestral
breeding grounds each winter.
Birds that eat foods that are
available year round tend not
to migrate at all.

Pine Siskins for example,
feed largely on evergreen
cones, and although they do
some winter wandering, they
do not have to travel great dis-
tances toward the south. Some
of these species may even
breed during the winter if
there is sufficient food.

The second major theory

rd migration habits

suggests that at one time all
birds only inhabited those re-
gions that could provide a
year-round food supply. But as
bird populations increased, the
ability of the habitat to sup-
port them diminished.

This was particularly ap-
parent during breeding season
when parent birds had addi-
tional mouths to feed. As a re-
sult some species began
spreading away from their
normal range to raise their

young.

Those that moved too far to
the north found that the food
supply was only available at
certain times of the year. It be-
came necessary for breeding to
coincide with this food avail-
ability. As soon as the food was
gone they had to return to
their southern homes.
