moy27.195 COMMUNITY NEWS On May 1 Carousel Theatre brought its production of Shakespeare's MacBeth to Stanley Humphries. MacBeth is part of the Grade 11 curriculum, so all the Grade 11s went to the activity room to see the 1'/-hour-long play. The production, which was directed by Roy Surette, Asked if it was hard taking a play on the road, she looked around at the actors busy striking the set and said, “Well, it's easy to get exhausted.” She talked for a while about the audiences they play to in the various schools, saying that sometimes they play for kids as young as Grades 7 and 8, which, she added, was “too young.” The ions of the Stanley Hi i audience to some of the gory scenes was “fairly tame. Sometimes girls scream.” When asked if playing to a young audience was harder than playing for a more adult one, she smiles a bit and saids, “They're not always as polite as an adult audience. Sometimes they say rude things and you can hear them. Ms. Ristie didn’t haved to worry about these Grade 11s saying rude things. I talked with some of the audience “about their reactions to the play, and they had nothing but good things to say about it. A Grade 11 boy said, “The costumes were good, the acting was good, and the music was great.” Another girl felt, “It was an excellent idea having it modern, it was more casual, less stuffy.” One girl summed it up by saying: “It was great the way they made a conscious effort to relate to the was an lly for a d audience. The staging is minimal and the costumes look like something from a post-nuclear war bike gang. The play has been cut, all the elaborate Elizabethan puns have been removed keeping it to what eight actors can handle and what 16-year-olds want to see. Modern music was used for background, the actors were energetic, and there were some great gory scenes. Suzanne Ristic, who played Lady MacBeth, spoke very briefly with me after the show because she had to be in Trail in about an hour. I asked them if they felt it helped their understand- ing of the play to have a presentation like this, and the response was unanimous. They all agreed that it was easier to see the play than read about it, and that the Road Warrior look made it more fun, possibly interesting to those who, “just aren't into English, who would have said, ‘Ech, Shakespeare.’ ” All in all, the Carousel Theatre did a wonderful job bringing another dull piece of the English 11 curriculum to life for the Grade 11s of SHSS.

Now I'm going to try it.” — Steve Fonyo. Unkown, a victim of cancer before he was a teenager, a chubby upstart challenging the memories and accomplishments of Terry Fox, Steve Fonyo sat ih his parents’ Pyrogy House restaurant in Vernon, and laid bare his mission. The time was early March 1984, only a couple of weeks before Fonyo, then 18, would fly to St. John's, Nfld., touch the icy Atlantic saltwater with his artificial left leg and run almost 8,000 kilometres across an entire | continent. Fonyo had predicted a finish on the West Coast in October — five months after the start. But 14 months later, after two springs, an autumn, marrow-numbing winter, injuries, mechanical problems and even a new cancer scare, Fonyo has gained a spot in Canadian history. Fonyo, who turns 20 next month, accomplished an almost incomprehensible feat — running the breadth of the country with a prosthesis attached to the stump of his amputated leg. Adored by children, viewed by many adults with a mixture of admiration and skepticism, branded as “Manitobans, used to the weather, but not running in it, were amazed at his courag: stubborn but widely misunderstood, inarticulate in public and lacking formal education, he had difficulty at times living up to the heroic dimensions of his achievement. But he raised millions of dollars to fight the disease that changed his life. SKEPTICS SILENCED The skeptics who doubted his purpose are silenced — Fonyo has been to both oceans. When he sat in the Vernon restaurant that day, he also said something that provides an insight into his going to do it and I don't give a damn hell what anyone says. With the help of some donors, but not the Canadian Cancer Society, which would finally endorse the run shortly after it began, Fonyo and his driver Romeo Gadbois set out across the newest province. None down and 10 to go. He was given affectionate greetings from the people who remembered Terry Fox four years earlier. The weather seemed to have considered his run a personal affront, and icy winds slashed across the open-barren landscape. His run through Newfoundand took several weeks fantastic” ption in N land resulted in about $74,000 in donations until he ferried across the Cabot Strait into Cape Breton Island on May 16 While he was feted in Nova Scotia, and enjoyed a reception in Halifax, the response was less enthusiastic than Newfoundland and in Prince Edward Island, where he churned out the kilometres on the Trans-Canada Highway and raised about $49,000 and $5,500 respective. ly. DRIVER QUIT The first controversy of any significance occurred May 23 when Gadbois, a part-time ambulance driver from Salmon Arm, resigned after questioning Fonyo's motives. Gadbois said Fonyo was inventing medical problems to create media interest, a charge Fonyo denied. By June the weather was improving and so was his pace, although he had changed his prediction and was now saying he would arrive in Vancouver in November. In Moncton, the artificial leg shattered after almost 2,000 kilometres of pounding and a new one was ordered, which Fonyo, a mechanical whiz of sorts, helped assemble with his own tools. Fonyo's older sister, Suzanne, had taken over the driving, but the pace of rising most days at 4:30 or 5 a.m. was taking its toll and the father, Steve Sr., said he would take over July 1. Young Steve had suffered rejection and humiliation when taunted by other youngsters after losing his left leg character: “When I say I'm going to do something, I'm ~ Fonyo gains a history 2 2 GRUELLING RUN . . . Fonyo rested at Manning Park Lodge after a tough run in hot temperatures before resuming his Journey for Lives which ended today at Victoria. at 12. His hair had fallen out after chemotherapy treatments and didn't grow back for two years. But he was now clearly enjoying his health, happiness, freedom and life as the sun sizzled in the mid-30s. “I love it,” he said. “It's really hot, but I enjoy it. I've got a little bit of a sunburn and my hair is turning blond. He raised about $27,000 in New Brunswick and crossed into Quebec June 22. HAD BIRTHDAY PARTY He turned 19 on June 29 and Montreal threw a birthday bash. He was born in suburban Lachine after his parents had fled Hungary in 1956. He was ordered to take a prolonged rest by a Montreal doctor because of muscle and bone problems in his right knee, but warm citizens helped him pass the time. He had been on the road more than four months when he crossed the boundary into Ontario at Hawkes bury Aug. 11. He would spend the next five months traversing that one province, much of it a vast seemingly endless stretch of lakes, forests, and rock. Among others, he was met by Leslie Scrivener, the Toronto Star reporter who wrote a book about Terry Fox. She was nervous about meeting Fonyo, but had some kind words. “I find him (Fonyo) really likeable and a lot less demanding than Terry. He (Fox) was always intense. This is . . . fun.” Fun Fonyo they might have nicknamed him “He's left broken hearts all over the country,” said Hamish Gordon, a freelance journalist who has been travelling with Fonyo since Newfoundland. “Women go nuts about him.” Fonyo bragged of at least three girls he had left behind, including Rosemary, a 19-year-old blond he spent two weeks with in Montreal. There was also criticism. In the Ottawa area, Gordon and others questioned the runner’s dedication. a Canadian Cancer Society 10th PROVINCE . . . Steve Fonyo crossed the Alberta-8.C. boundary on April 23 and was greeted by Premier Bill Bennett in a driving snowstorm. official said Fonyo’s schedule was erratic, that he got up late sometimes and ran less than other days. Gordon said Fonyo “could be showing more dedication, but he always keeps surprising me.” As autumn approached, Fonyo reached Toronto and was greeted by about 500 well-wishers in front of City Hall. The ‘ion, however, and the d i did not compare with those given Fox. He departed Toronto in early September and would not reach the Manitoba boundary until late January — passing through the Canadian Shield, a desolate, interminable stretch of lonesome highway. West of Sudbury, Fonyo was ordered off the road for the second time because of bleeding blisters that caused an infection in his stump. One of the most poignant moments of the run occurred Nov. 29 when Fonyo reached the spot near Thunder Bay where Fox was forced to end his Marathon of Hope and return to Vancouver, where he died nine months later. “I did a lot of work to get this far,” Fonyo said after paying tribute to the fallen Fox. “I did a lot of suffering. The other half of the country is mine. Now I'm really making my own path from here.” nee, too. It was here that Fonyo first made it clear he intended to run across the Prairies in winter, despite the urgings of the cancer society to suspend the run and resume it in spring. He flew back to Vernon for the Christmas holidays and resumed the run Jan. 3 near Dryden, Ont. The temperature was -20 Celsius, the highway was dark and the wind howled. There was no stopping Fonyo, despite temperatures reaching down to the -30s in one of the harshest of typically mean Canadian winters. Whether it was Fonyo defying the brutal weather, or the fact Manitobans had been deprived of Fox, the entry into Manitoba and Western Canada marked a remarkable resurgence for the Journey for Lives. He entered Manitoba Jan. 17 on one of the coldest days of the year. “I had to put goggles on, a balaclava and another kind of mask that covered my mouth,” he said. “Then I put my hood over the whole thing and did it up.” He had raised about $266,000 after five months in Ontario, and would generate amost twice that in Manitoba in about six weeks. MANITOBANS EXCITED Manitobans, used to the weather, but not running in it, were amazed at his courage.” A lot of people asked me why I'm running in the winter,” he said. “I'm running because there are a lot of kids out there who are following me. I give them a lot of hope and encouragement.” While in Winnipeg, where he spent five da: toast of the town, another controversy erupted unlike anything previously.

RIERA EE SII Fonyo was quoted by a Canadian Press reporter as calling Oiler superstar Wayne Gretzky a wimp. Fonyo denied saying it. Nearing Brandon, Fonyo left the road and flew to Vancouver for examination of a painful swelling above his knee. The implications were frightening. After a check at Children's Hospital Feb. 20, his physician said Fonyo had tendinitis and a stress fracture rather than a recurrence of cancer. Ignoring warnings to rest and slow down, Fonyo flew back to Brandon and resumed the run in weather so bad only one person turned out on the Trans-Canads-te-donate money. SENSES VICTORY The weather improving slightly, Fonyo crossed into Saskatchewan March 2 and once again the Journey for Lives began to sail along. Fonyo started to sense he was nearing British Columbia and the last stage of the run. He lunched with the premier in Regina and they named a street in a new subdivision after him. He spent exactly one month crossing the province and entered Alberta April 2 near the community of Walsh. He had raised an incredible amount of more than “The skeptics who doubted his purpose are silenced — Fonyo has been to both oceans" $800,000 in Saskatchewan, more than in Manitoba, and ’ Albertans would surpass that with more than $1.6 million. His reception in Calgary equalled that of Winnipeg, where th and th of r sought a glimpse of the curly-haired young man. He moved out of Calgary and headed toward the Rocky Mountains, the B.C. border, and the final 950 kilometres to the Mile 0 marker at Victoria. He crossed the boundary April 23 and was greeted by Premier Bill Bennett in another driving snowstorm. The donations and the receptions at communities throughout B.C. were staggering at times as the reached a . He spent a kend in Vernon with his latest girl friend. Then it was up and down through the last stretch of mountains and onto the flatlands of the Fraser Valley. In severe pain again but with his doctor's OK to continue, he plodded along and held frequently to the rear-view mirror of his escort van for support. More controversy arose as he cut short or rejected public appearances in the face of a tight deadline, including an invitation to Fox's home town of Port Coquitlam. Ahead lay a rally in B.C.
