It will serve as an annual award to an outdoor education student who shows a strong interest in enjoying and protecting the environ ment. Mason, who died in October at 59, won 60 national and interna tional awards for 18 films, including Cry of the Wild in 1971 and Water Walker, a 1985 film about a canoe trip in waters along the nortn snore ot Lake superior. His commitment to outdoor education was evident in his interest in the school's outing club, which began in 1968, said Otto Schreib- er. Schreiber considers himself the latest link in a chain of teach ers at Rideau who have taken students canoeing for two decades. Students now get a half credit each semester for taking part in white-water canoeing on the Madawaska River and related in-class assignments.

As well as learning how to protect the environment, students are also exposed to outdoors activities that could lead to careers, Schreiber said.

Arms -4 exhibit slammed By Alan White i Citizen correspondent Peace groups will be demonstrating' against the ARMX '89 arms exhibition planned for Lans-downe Park in May.

More than 1,000 people, some from as far away as Montreal, and vKitchener-Waterloo, are expected to converge on the exhibition to protest the sale of arms to countries that don't respect human rights, said Richard Sanders, of the Coalition to Oppose the Arms Trade. The exhibition for military contractors, held every two years, draws visitors from around the world to examine the latest in military hardware. About 10,000 people from 60 countries attended ARMX '87 and organizers hope this year's event will draw up to 13,000. ARMX '89, which runs from May 23-25, will not be open to the public. Admission is restricted to representatives of governments, the military, police forces and corporations.

Tanks and helicopters will be among the items displayed in the parking lot at Lansdowne, while the salons and floor of the Civic Centre will be filled with contractors displaying their products. All provinces except Prince Edward Island will have exhibitors on hand, as will the United States and 13 other countries. ARMX '89 co-ordinator Stuart Northrup said up to one-third of the displays will involve simulated training technology and arms manufacturers will be in the minority. The focus of the protest will be the sale of arms to countries that violate human rights. Sanders said South Korea, Chile, Taiwan, and Argentina are some of the countries with governments that have violated human rights.

Those countries had representatives at the 1987 exhibition. "Sure, countries have a right to defend themselves, even human rights violators. But, unfortunately the military has other purposes in those countries like killing people," Sanders said. Northrup is aware of the planned protest but said it won't stop the show from going ahead as scheduled.

Like most Canadians, you probably work about half of each year to pay all your taxes. You must pay sales, property, medical and dozens of other visible and hidden taxes. But chances are with the help of this book you can pay considerably less income tax, and so start working sooner each year for yourself instead of the government.

Jean Saint-Pierre, manager of donor recruitment, says the clinic is expecting the number of donors to drop during March break as people head south on vacation. The Red Cross needs 300 units of blood every day to keep up with demand. The blood donor centre at 85 Plymouth Street is currently col lecting 90-95 units of blood a day with the remaining units coming from mobile clinics.

Saint-Pierre says ideally the centre should be collecting between 105 and 110 units a day because the blood can be processed imme diately, allowing better preservation of blood components. The Red Cross will also hold portable clinics Tnursday at Ter- rasses de le Chaudiere's central building between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. and on Easter Monday at Place d'Orleans Shopping Centre between 10:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m.

Saint-Pierre says the Easter clinic is very important because it comes after a three-day holiday, a time when little blood is collected. Demand growing at Kanata food cupboard The popularity of the Kanata Food Cupboard is growing and that is not a good trend, says co-ordinator Heather Colls. The food cupboard is now serving 50 Kanata residents, 100-per cent more than a year ago. Colls says those numbers don include the estimated 20 Kanata families who are helped by the Salvation Army. A special feature is the new section on the key steps to successful personal financial planning.

Colls says the biggest problem is the lack of affordable housing in the city which forces families to spend more on rent and utilities and leaves little for food. Demand is so great the food cupboard has is currently expanding its facilities at St. Paul's Anglican Church on Young Road.

Gloucester food cupboard gets donation angry.

Without warning, the man grabbed the woman by the arm and told her not to be "smart." He said it would be easy to throw her in front of a car, despite the fact that other people were in the area. The man then forced the woman across the street and down a staircase, where she was sexually assaulted. Before leaving, the man told the victim his name was "Guy," and that he was going to Montreal. The suspect is white, between 21 to 25 years, French-speaking, about 5 feet, 10 inches and 165 pounds. He has blond hair and broad shoulders.

At the time of the assault, he was wearing a red and black checked hunting vest, a blue V-neck sweater, jeans and running shoes.
