Original Toronto Star caption: It's not a scene from a Wagnerian opera. It's Etobicoke Alderman Helen Wursta yesterday in her version of what everyone should wear at CNE politicians' bathtub race. But fate pulled plug -- her tub crashed and conked out twice at start.

Frank Crane: The opera singer turned antique dealer was tired of the urban jungle so he retreated into the woods with his wife, Verena, and built himself a log cabin.

These things are on trust, he says.
