drug trip, he said, but life before
the fall of Adam and Eve was more
than great. They lived in a
wonderful place and even walked
and talked with God. Then after
disobeying God they tried to hide
from Him.

A page in her life
Amanda Hickey, RR3, Auburn spent a month recently as a
page at Queen's Park and had the opportunity to watch the
MPPs, including Huron MPP Paul Klopp in action.
Local learns at Queen's Park
By Bonnie Gropp
Finding out what goes on behind
the closed doors of the Ontario
Legislature may be a surprise to
some.
It certainly was to a 14-year-old
Auburn-area girl who recently
returned from a one month stint as
a page at Queen's Park.
Amanda Hickey of RR3, Auburn
said she was surprised at how little
attention was paid during session
by the MPPs. Oftentimes they
would sit and read a book, though
she adds, there were some who
really took a stand on issues being
discussed and fought for what they
wanted.
Out of the 130 seats usually there
were only 30 filled while some
days as few as six were present. •
The grade eight student, who will
be entering her first year at
Goderich District Collegiate Insti-
tute this year was one of 24 picked
as page. Any student with an A
average has the chance to apply for
the position, she says.
Amanda left May 31 and
returned June 25. During those four
weeks she stayed at the home of
one of the other page's family in
Oakville. She rode the bus, Go train
and subway every morning to
Queen's Park where her duties as a
sort of official "gofer" began.
Pages are typically to remain
quiet while in session, however
Amanda says this group "broke tra-
dition. We had a song we made up
from 'We Will Rock You'. It was
'We Will Serve You.' The MPPs
took a vote and said we could sing
it in the house."
During the afternoon the young
people were tutored in math and
French and learned more about the
workings of government. Each
page received $15 a day, plus trav-
el, she says.
Some days, she says were more
exciting than others, most memo-
rably when Premier Rae invited the
pages to a reception for the Maple
Leafs.
Fridays were an off-day when the
pages enjoyed various activities as
a group. Amanda says everyone
became good friends and she was
pleased to have had the experience.
Though she had no previous inter-
est in government she now thinks
she might join the Young PCs. "We
aren't supposed to have a political
view there at all," she says, "but the
majority of the group seemed to
lean that way."
