Lucknow vandals are senior teens
To the editor:
Re Editorial July 21 "Parents are
responsible..." Tnie, but then in
paragraph three "It is the com-
munity's responsibility..."
As a member of this community
1 refuse to accept that respon-
sibility. One of the most fulfilling
aspects of parenting is the
knowledge that youhave given, to
the best of your ability, to the adult
world, a member that respects him-
self and others. Not easy, not al-
ways successful, but must be done
by the parent not the community.
The vandals of Lucknow are not
children (except by law), they are .
senior teens who are bigger and
smarter than the rest of us. They
know the OPP won't or can't catch
them, and the community has no
power, in law, to stop them.
So where are we Mr. Burgess?

Luxton urged government tobuy buffalo
• from page 4
friendship was strained and they
spent most of their time sitting at
opposite ends of the vessel
clutching their guns, but they were
determined to continue.
Finances ran thin when .they
reached Samoa, so Luxton set
himself up as a professor of card
games, specializing in poker --
which became the particular affec-
tion of the Governor.
All told, Luxton and Voss
stopped at 42 South Seas ports to a
variety of receptions, One king was
so taken. with Luxton that he of-
fered him a choice of daughters for
marriage and a coconut grove of his
own. On another • island, confron-
tation with hostile residents called
the ancient cannon to their deftnse.
Luxton abandoned the expedition
to recover from injuries suffered in
a shipwreck off Australia, but Voss
successfully guided the Tilikum to
England, arriving in September
1904.
• When Luxton returned to Canada
he settled in Banff, Alberta, where
he began a publishing business, a
trading post and a year-round hotel.
Luxton committed himself to the
community, leading his biographers
to nickname him "the oracle of
Banff." During a card game, he
helped conceive the Winter Car-
nival and in the summer, Luxton
conducted the annual Indian Days
Festival in conjunction with the
Stoney.
When an influenza epidemic
struck near a trading post Luxton
operated in northerly Morely, he
supplied much needed food and
medical supplies to the isolated
native population without compen-
sation. The business . failed, but
Luxton was named an Honorary
Chief of both the Blackfoot and
Stoney tribes.
In 1909,. Luxton suggested that
the Canadian government purchase
a herd of Montanna buffalo to
replenish the prairie herds which
had been hunted almost to the point
of extinction.These animals
provided the foundation stock for
herds at Wainwright National Park.
Norman Luxton's legacy of ad-
venture and open-hearted vision of
the true meaning of "tilikum" con-
. tinues to thrive. Today, the original
dugout "Tilikum" is permanently
berthed in Victoria, B.C. and every
year thousands of visitors enjoy the
spirit of the place and the spirit of
this unique Canadian adventurer at
the Luxton Museum, which is
housed in a log building beside the
Bow River in Banff.
