VET TO THE
PETS OF STARS

TORONTO (CP). Did you hear about the cocker
spaniel who likes to sleep on his owners’ bed — alone? (they
sleep in the spare room.)

‘Or how about the woman who phoned her veterinarian
in the middle of the night because her dog Baby was having
bad dreams? (She gave him) some of ber tranquillizers to
calm him down.) ¢

‘And then there's Laurence, the dog who suffers from
cirrhosis of the liver. (His owner\serves him a nightly
martini.)

There are dozens niore stories — and they're all true,
says Dr, Bruce Fogle, vet-to the pets of the stars.

Fogle, who was born in Toronto and trained at Ontario
Veteriiiry College in Guelph, Ont., has practised for 17

I years in centfal London, where the clientele has included the

pets of actors like Jeremy Irons, Leslie Anne Down and
Vincent Price.
IN THE BOOK

Fogle is the author of a book called Games Pets Play, in
which he spells out how not to be manipulated by your pet.

Don't misunderstand — Fogle loves pets; he just hates
it when people treat pets like people.

That's when you get the aggression games, the
attachment games, the bedroom games, the gluttony games,
and a dozen other games that pets become masters of.

“One hundred per cent of pet owners are manipulated,”
Fogle said in an interview. He also acknowledged that,
because his practice is in a wealthy part of London, he may
see more extreme examples of doggy tyranny than, for
instance, his counterpart in Humboldt, Sask.

“As we beome more affluent and more separated from
our roots, and the three-generation family is no longer a
staple of the community, and religion is no longer important,
pets suddenly are becoming to some people their new
religion.”

HITTING HIGH NOTES . . . Sesame Street singer Bob
McGrath loves the “disarming honesty” of children.
McGrath is still taken aback by his young audience,

By DAVE LANG
Canadian Press

VANCOUVER — Bob McGrath, a longtime host of
Sesame Street, says one of the joys of performing for
children is their disarming honesty.

He recalls one youngster who, on meeting him, said
bluntly: “Up close you don't look too good.”

“Their response is so completely honest and
immediate,” McGrath said in an interview. “You really
don't have to wait for a review from a children’s show to
know how well you've done.”

McGrath, whose dark hair and roundish face make
him look younger than his 54 years, said he is never quite
sure what to expect from his young audiences — not even
after 18 seasons on Sesame Street and as a performer at
concerts and on recordings for children.

GAVE HIM COINS

He tells of a Christmas concert where a little boy
came up on stage in the middle of the show and pressed &
bunch of pennies into McGrath's hand.

Later the child told McGrath he gave him the
pennies because he didn't have time to go out to buy the
performer a Christmas present.

To the older generation, McGrath is probably best
remembered as a soloist on the old Mitch Miller TV
sing-along show. With his later career as a children's
performer, McGrath says he’s been accused of “going

even after 18 seasons on Sesame Street and asa
performer at concerts and on recordings tor

children.

Performing for kids

from the Geritol set to the Pampers set.”

In the years since he began performing for children,
McGrath has noticed an increasing sophistication among
his young audience. He says this is partly due to changes
in how parents raise their children, and to the influence of
new trends in television, like music videos.

SESAME ADAPTS

He said Sesame Street has adapted by updating its
own presentations, both visually and in content.

“We've written some beautiful pieces on the show
that have to do with loss and separation because of the
high divorce rate. And while we don’t talk directly about
divorce, those pieces certainly help @ child understand

those feelings.”

McGrath lives with his wife, Ann, and five children in
Teaneck, N.J. But he does most of his recordings with
Toronto based Kids Records, billed as North America’s
largest independent producer of quality

recordings.

McGrath says he was attracted to Kids Records

because of the special care
producing children’s music.

QUALITY HIGH

“The quality of the material just seemed to be head
and heels above some of the new material that was
coming out of the States,” he said, referring to highly
commercial U.S. recordings based on popular cartoons.

“It's hard to translate,”
said Chaplin. “But it’s what
your parents always told you
net to be.”

The band played its first
session this month in a club in
Greenwich Village, -where
protest singers like Bob Dy
lan started out in the 1960s.

SHUN LABEL
But Skollie musicians re
ject the “protest” label for
themselves.

“Politics is one of the
things our songs deal with,
which is natural because
we're all from South Africa
and you can't remain silent
about what's going on there,”
said Lentin.

“But we sing about lots of
other things too.”

Chaplin, who played with a
group called The Flames be
fore leaving South Africa 16
years ago, said Skollie’s
music came from the heart.

“Anyone who's bofn there
has feelings about the pol
ities,” he said.

made sex across the color line
illegal was scrapped last
year, and the Pretoria
government has made other
changes to apartheid.

But for Chaplin, classified
in South Africa as of mixed
race the reforms have not
gone far enough.

“I'm not going back there
while the system's like it is.”
he said.

PASSPORT INVALID

When he did try to return
once to attend his father’s
funeral, he found his South
African passport was invalid
and he could not travel.

“The South African consul
ate could have helped me out
but they refused,” he said
“That's the kind of treatment
I've always had from the
government.”

But his sparkling blue eyes
light up when he recounts
how white girlfriends had to
hide from the police, who he
says showed up in strength
at every Flames concert

After leaving South Africa,
Chaplin played with the
Beach Boys in California for
several years during the
1970s, moving to New York
last year where he joined up
with Lentin and Fig.

Fig, a sought-after drum
mer, also plays on television's

FINDS GETTING

OTTAWA — Even Progressive
benchers sometimes have a tough time getting answers
from the government,

Red Stackhouse, Tory, member of Parliament for
Scarborough West, asked how many cars for use by
ministers are owned by the government and how many
are provided with drivers, , ge
"He also asked the total cost of their purchase, the
total cost of maintenance and the total cost for the
drivers’ salaries.

He was told the average original purchase price was
$18,140. The average cost of maintenance ‘was $4,475 and
the salary scale of drivers was up to $26,500. He was not
told how many cars or how many drivers are available to
ministers.

‘The only complete answer he received was that all
ministers are provided with a car and driver.

He asked the question last Oct. 21 and received the
reply this week.

SENATOR RICHARD Doyle was waxing eloquent
in the Senate on March 17, St. Patrick's Day. The former
editor-in-chief of the Toronto Globe and Mail treated his
colleagues to a tribute to St. Patrick's Day and the Irish

le.

Liberal Senator Phillipee Deane Gigantes, also a
former journalist, decided to reply ‘and said there are
none more charming than the Irish.

“[ hope, now that Senator Patrick Doyle has joined
the Tory party, that he will do what St. Patrick did and
lead the snakes out of it.”

Getting Doyle's Christian name wrong may be OK
but no one in Ottawa recalls that St. Patrick was a Tory.

TO READ a letter sent to th ds of Canad

last month by Liberal president Michel Robert, you'd
think the man was four-square against free trade with the
United States.

“We have seen this government surrender more and
more of our economic independénce,” Robert writes
ominously. “Then there is the free-trade negotiations
which threaten the future of Canadian industry, Canadian
jobs and Canadian culture.” r

But Robert, a member of the Macdonald royal

ission which ded free trade, said he is
still in favor of the idea. 3

“J am, but only on certain conditions.” He favors the
elimination of tariff and non-tariff barriers, but not
regional development programs or social programs ‘or

“That's what ‘the government says (too),” he
acknowledges.

“But Pm not sure that that’s what's going on in the
negotiations.”
