ing under your feet,” he said.One of the most exciting parts of the experience for Price was learning all about sailing.“Everything to do with the ship is hand-powered.There is a professional crew of eight sailors, but the kids have to do all of the sail maneuvers, and sometimes I’d help out,” he said.“Helping out” often meant climbing the 115-foot masts to furl and unfurl the sails, with nothing but a harness to guarantee safety.The ship sailed around the Pacific, stopping at various ports.Price was responsible for ensuring that there were classes everyday at sea, as well as activities in port whenever they stopped in a new country.The land activities were always supposed to relate to the country they were in, as well as to the curriculum the students were being taught.Price had a particularly tricky situation early in his position when the ship was forced to stay five weeks in port at Colon, Panama because of a problem with the gearbox.The ship was only supposed to stay three days in Panama and Price had to scramble to find things for sea the easily bored students to do.Not only that, but Colon was a particularly poor and unsafe city.This was brought home when two of the students under Price’s watch managed to slip away from the ship under false pretenses and were subsequently robbed.Price’s first intimation that something was wrong was when he received a garbled, hair-raising message from them saying “We were held at gunpoint, we’re safe, we’re in the hands of the police.” Despite such an off-putting start to the expedition, Price thoroughly enjoyed his time on the ship, and would do it again.The downside to his adventure was the long separation from his family, especially his wife Rhonda, a local artist.The major difference between being a principal at Massey-Vanier and being a principal on a floating school was the fact that the whole group was together 24 hours a day, seven days a week.“You really had to get the kids to work together as a team.A lot of the trip was about learning to live with others.I had to sort out interpersonal conflicts and dynamics, you had to learn to put up with people,” he said.Price has decided to take the summer off and enjoy the Townships, but he’s not going to stay put for long.“I’m already scouring the want ads and the Internet looking for more traveling opportunities.” COUERTESY EVAN PRICE The S.V.Concordia, Price’s home for six months.A REPUTATION BUILT ON TRUST.A REPUTATION BUILT ON SOLUTIONS.Wood Gundy Financial Consultants believe that serving a client means more than just talk, and more than just solving problems in routine ways Wood Gundy offers invcstcis a wide variety of services and products from personal financial planning to self-directed RKSPs, stocks, bonds and mutual funds, to mention just a few.After all, our clients built our business.Serving their needs built cur reputation.Call today.Jim Wilson Financial Consultant (514) 847-6647 1-888-847-6300 The Leatting Indicator.Wood Gundy Pnv»le ClkM invcunwnb à • divmon ofCIBC Wool Gundy Securriio Inc ¦ uih.id.wy of CIRC and Member -

It is currently playing at Echo Art Dinner Theatre in Brome.Directed by Alison Muir, The Dumb Waiter does not stand out in this season’s line-up of summer plays.The black comedy which was once considered avant-garde seems very dated today, especially in the wake of movies that have covered similar territory with more flamboyant characters and more graphic results (the films of the Coen brothers come to mind).James Colley and Larry Hastings play Ben and Gus, two professional assassins waiting in a strange room for their next orders.The orders that come through are altogether mystifying, as a dumb waiter sends down inexplicable requests for exotic dinners that our anti-heroes cannot possibly fulfill.In fact, Ben cannot even make a cup of tea and is reduced to simply sniffing his tea bag.That is the plot in a nutshell and there is not much more to be said without giving away the ending.As it is, it is rather predictable given Ben’s quirkiness and obvious unsuitability for the job.The script is not particularly enhanced by the acting.Hastings, who has the funnier moments as Ben, seems to be concentrating on maintaining the Cock- Pavages Maska inc.• Private entrances • Parking DIRECTLY FROM THE MANUFACTURER COURTESY ECHO ART James Colley and Larry Hastings in a scene from The Dumb Waiter.ney accent to the detriment of his characterization.His Ben is more gestures and schtick than a real person.Colley does better as Gus and is far more convincing.However, it is the easier part of the two, with less dialogue and less emotion.We know Hastings can do better (witness his recent turn in the Echo Art season-opener Wally’s Cafe) and it will be interesting to see Colley in another, more entertaining play - he seems to have real possibilities.Pinter fans may enjoy the show; as for this critic, it was a trip down memory lane and high school drama classes on genre playwrights.Some plays age better than others, just like us.The Dumb Waiter by Harold Pinter continues at Echo Art through Aug.9.For reservations, call (450) 242-2047.ASPHALT PLANT credited ISO 9002 WORK GUARANTEED- -FREE EVALUATIONS ALSO: concrete sidewalks & curbs, drainage, excavation & landscaping RESIDENTIAL -

comme, par exemple, la maison ou Jamescrossà été détenu durant la “crise d’octobre” -jusqu’aux demeures - modestes du Plateau Mont- Royal et à plusieurs églises et couvents.L’ardoise est maintenant surtout utilsée comme tuile pour recouvrement mural et de plancher.À Montréal, l’imposante tour de la CIBC, à l’angle de la rue René Lévesque et Peel, est revêtue sur ses 40 étages, de tuiles d’ardoise verte.À Richmond, nous avons admiré le magnifique toit d’église de la paroisse Saint Bibiane recouvert de superbes truies d’ardoise, y compris le clocher.MAme qu’en entrant dans l’église, nous avons eu droit à au concert en répétition.À Sutton, l’église Grace en pierres est recouverte d’un toit d’ardoise.Des maisons imposantes sur le bord du Lac Brome portent aussi des chapeaux d’ardoise.Le Centre d’interprétation de l’ardoise de Melbourne offre une information de base sur la pose des tuiles d’ardoise et sur des techniques de construction et de réparation de toits en ardoise.Ceci, dans le but de contrecarrer la démolition ou le remplacement de toits qui peuvent être réparés de manière simple et peu coûteuse.Le Centre récupère aussi les vieilles tuiles d’ardoise pour les mettre à la dispositon de ceux qui veulent faire de la restauration.On retrouve de plus en plus l’ardoise sous forme plus grossière, dans les jardins.Ma terrasse et les escaliers du jardin ensont faits.Les architectes paysahers peuvent se procurer de lourdes pierres d’ardoise directement à l’ancienne mine à Kingsbury.Ce très beau matériau ne demande aucun entretien et dure des siècles.HU TTT1.1.1.1.CT & Th .*,*.£&** 1% J-J.Take advantage of our services 58 > Tr casra Special for 1 WEOk fori processing (On presentation of coupon) Valid July 29th-August 8th) ft,., DorT§inet«u m w B.J.C.EXTERMINATEUR Commercial -
