Hotels cater to animal watchers

From page 27
people stay up all night only to
watch the wild animals.

This they do at The Ark, the
unusual hotel overlooking a busy
waterhole; a buzzer rings in the
room when something interesting
arrives, such as the three rhinos
we saw.

We get a lot of rain at The Ark,
and two Cape buffalo show up as
if they want to come aboard.

HELP’S AT

From page 22

$4,233. Under the iax department
definition, you must have had a
“severe mental or physical im-
pairment in 1992 which caused
you to be markedly restricted in
your basic activities of daily liv-
ing, and have an impairment
which has lasted or is expected to
last for a continuous period of at
least 12 months’? to qualify.

How can you tell if you -are
‘markedly restricted’’ under their
definition? They say that if you
are legally blind, if you are unable
to feed and dress yourself, walk,
speak, hear, or perceive, think
and remember, or if it takes an
extremely long time to perform
these activities, you are markedly
restricted. °

- Furthermore, you must be
markedly. restricted all or almost
all of the time. If you are unsure
about whether you qualify or not,

Next is another tented camp
valled Sweetwaters,

It is delightful, very cosy,
wonderful food, and one night is
not enough.

By this time we realize the

. itinerary is a little brutal, but we

push on to the elegant Mount
Kenya Safari Club, where we relax
in cottages with sunken tubs,
fireplaces and hot-water bottles in

large beds. ©

it is probably best to consult with
your doctor. To have further
questions answered, you can con-
tact the B.C. Coalition of People
with Disabilities at 872-1278.

If you find that you do qualify,
you will need Form T2201, avail-
able from Revenue Canada.

A New Spirit of Giving

Miatonal progeant to encourage sing aint sulurteonin:

There is time for golf after
lunch with the genial Irish manag-
er.

Then it's back to Nairobi for a
final Tusker beer at the Norfolk
before our Lufthansa non-stops
to Frankfurt and Vancouver.

The veranda is thronged with
Canadian soldiers in shorts and
T-shirts having a lovely war, and
one is reading the Daily Nation,
which is less conceraed with
Somalia than sex education.

The city archbishop is upset at
finding a carton of 6,000 condoms
at a girl’s school, and is quoted as,
saying that ‘‘instruction on the
practical use of genitals will feed
the fires of lust.’’

Micato, master of TLC, pro-
vides a ride to the airport. There
are no takers from the Canadian
soldiers, one of whom waves
goodbye from the Norfolk veran-
da to the cry ‘‘It’s Tusker time!”

And so the safari ends with
Africa explored somewhat, lots of
animals logged and the knowledge
that our troops are ready for any-
thing. Certainly another beer.
