( Photo - Bob Watson Durham Education Highlights I Trustees approved sup- porting the Halton Board's motion to petition the Ministry of Education to change its method of deter- min rated pupil places for schools to more ac- curately reflect current educational needs. It is felt the present method used by the ministry is inadequate and leads to the public be- ing misled about the func- tional capacities of existing facilities. The discrepancy between the Durham Board's and the ministry's rated pupil capacities is one of the reasons new Durham Board elementary schools require portables from the time they are first opened - O'Neill Music Head Honoured A letter of recogn itim from the board will be sent to O'Neill CVI Music Department Head Russ Baird, congratulating him on his recent appointment to the position of chairman of the Canadian Choral Festival. As a divisional festival of MusicFest Canada, the choral festival is part of the draw that br- ings together over 8,000 secondary, college and university students annual- ly. Russ Baird's extensive work with and commit- ment to music students in Durham Region and across Canada was commended by trustees. st Business co a waded Trustees announced that a letter commending Superintendent of Business Brian Cain for the rapport be has established with the various � groups the Durham Elementary Principals' Association. The letter noted that the elementary principals appreciated both Brian's capable assistance with the annual budget process and his pro- fessional manner. Trustees Joined DEPA in commen- ding Brian Cain. Won't Increase Density The Town of Pickering is not prepared to increase the density in the Fren- chman's Bay community. A rezoning application to permit a severance at the corner of Pleasant St. and Commerce Rd. was turned down at council. According to Neil Carrol from the Pickering Plann- ing Department, "it is an indication from council that they are not moving towards an increase in den- sity in this area" Council was concerned that a precedent would be set by allowing the severance to be approved as there are several pro- perties in the area that could also apply for severance.

I'd like to know something about the diff houses in the . southwestern United States. G.P. A. These diff dwellings are located in northern Arizona and New Medco and souther Colorado and Utah. Most of the completes were constructed between 1000 and 1300 A.D. Although several different groups of people built this type of housing, the most famous ones were erected by the Anarr sazi Indians. The modern day Pueblo Indians are their direct descendents. The three and four storey houses were built with sand- stone blocks and mud mortar on ledges in the Jiffs which were protected by rock overhangs. This allowed access to the valleys below and the mesas above for hunting and crop cultivation. It was also an easily defeasible position. The Io- diens used ladders to climb from one lewd to another. In case of an attack, the ladders were simply drawn inside, reducing the aggressors' mobility. Around the year 1300, all of the cliff dwellings were aban- doned as the lndiam moved into villages to the south. Although no one is certain what caused this migration, possible theories include climate changes, reduced food supply, enemy invasion, and drought. The ruins of these villages can still be seen today. The largest one is Cliff Palace, located in Mesa Verde National Park in southwestern Colorado. Q. Why are the Academy Awards called "Oscars ".I R.R. A. The Academy Awards are presented annually for achievement in film released during the previous year. The awards are given by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, the organization which initiated this ceremony in 1929. For the first two years the statuette did not have a name. Then, in 1931, Academy librarian Margaret Herrick remarked on the resemblance between the figurine and her Uncle Oscar. The name caught on and has been associated with the statue ever since. "Oscar" is 13-112 inches tall, stands on a reel of film, and holds a sword in his crossed stuns. The trophy is a gold plated brarme statue which weighs seven pounds and is worth approximately =150.

Jan. 18, 1989 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Black And White by Bob Watson It used to be that the expevnion around here when referr- ing to something positive or a story in a newspaper was in "black and white". Now a couple of killings by police of- ficers in their line of duty and the resultant outcry by a group of "black" activists has put a new meaning on "black and white". Those of us who were born in this glorious country and grew up in schools where there were students with black skin - but who were sometimes six generations Canadian - never found a problem arising in school or outside of school. However, some students who married across racial boun- daries found life a little difficult:. Those of us who have had the privilege of travelling the world and living in countries where the main population is black or brown have no hang Up about colour that is critical in daily life. People are people. However, there are people from some lands whose background and upbringing makes them less able to integrate into Canadian society. And, of course, we have governments at two levels emphasizing how multiculturalism is Number One - but not emphasizing Canadian as a race group or citizenship. It is too bad! The current group of agitators who are bemoaning the shooting of two people whose skins are black are obviously immigrants by their accents. Most immigrants, including blacks from the Caribbean, are trying their best to become 10096 Canadians ( despite our governments lack of interest). However, some cultures and some people who feel that their colour is a handicap have a Iooger road to travel before they fit in. We hope that this situation dears up in the near future, but don't expect "racism" to be eliminated because it has existed in all parts of this world for centuries. In our opinion racism is less noticeable here in Metro Toronto and region than any place else we know. Let's all work together to combat such stupidity and smile at one another. As for or policeman up for manslaughter we hope that common sense prevails in the coming court case over the emotional sentiment being stimulated by a handful of peo- ple- Durham Teachers Vote To Strike Public high school teachers in Durham Region have voted to strike and the walkout could take place on Jan. 23rd, which happens to be the fust day of examinations at many of the 18 schools in the region. Although salaries and benefits are among the issues, the major holdup in negotiations between the 1300 teachers and the board of education seems to be about class sines and the easing of workloads. Durham's 18,000 public high school students are taking more credits than they used to take especially in grades 11 and 12 and this is putting more pressure on the teachers. According to union president, Alan Monks. the union is frustrated after unsuccessful negotiabo s with the board since last Mardi. Teachers rejected the board's final offer last month by 97.3 percent. The offer would have given them a 4 percent wage increase retroactive to Sept. 1st and a further 1 percent on Feb. 1. Durham teachers currently earn between $24,72D to $51,141 per year. The Durham board is the second fastest growing board in ono with 50,600 students and a budget million. Bob's Notes ShMich Video casette recorders ( VCRs) are one of the growth items among our new household appliances. Just 6% of households had VCRs in 1963; by 1987 the proportion was 45%. Delivery To Ottawa Improved A new high voltage transmission line is operating in eastern Ontario. Construction began in the summer of 1986 on the line, which runs from Lennox generating station near Kingston to Merivale transformer station in Ottawa. The line was energized in November at 230 kilvolts. This will be increased to 500 kilvolts next year when further line construction in Ottawa is complete. The new transmission line will improve electrical service to Ottawa and surrounding area. • I; K;;N' Dewsrpost] Published every Wednesday by Watson Publishing Company Limited, Est. 1950 Postal Address: Box 111, Agincourt, Ont.

Ontario Hydro Opens Store One of Toronto's busiest shopping malls is the neve home for Ontario Hydro's first customer stores. Chairman and President Robert Franklin opened Your Hydro Store rely at Fairview Mall in northern Metropolitan Toron- to.

Canada stretches from the Atlantic to the Pacific and from the Arctic Circle to the 49th parallel. The essence of Canada - the Canada that is quite properly loved - is Saskatchewan, small town Saskatchewan. That's Canada. Yesteryear, written by Joanna McClelland Glass and directed beautifully by Eric Steiner, playing now at the Bluma Appel Theatre is pure Saskat- chewan; pure Canada . . touching and may. Hen, let's go all the way and say that it's pure C.N. R.; Cana- dian Norman Rockwell. The plot line doesn't real- ly count for much but here it is abridged from the pro- gram notes. Housepainter David MacTavish broke off his engagement with Mildred when he farad her in flagrante delecto with a hockey goaltender on the night before their wedding. Since then he has lived as a monose bachelor in the backroom of his friend's hardware store .. and in- cidentally, the town's only source of liquor.

Surphlis Tax Collector 40, Around and About Your Dining & Entertainment Guide who is unaware of his good fortune, comes back into his life. She is living with the local madame who had befriended her as a child. It's a good book with a far from sacharine happy ending and skillfully presented but the delight of the play lies in its characters. We are as well to list them in order of ap- pearance though not .necessarily importance. R. It Thomson scores as MacTavish. He is small tont but not small minded; unsophisticated but not boorish; loving and loveable. His Saskat- chewan accent never varies. One challenges its veracity but by heaven, it's consistent and so is he. Mr. Thomson never loses the dtaracter and, most impor tant, never loses his au- dience. He is the quintessential small town painter - interiors - of four decades ago. Fiona Reid, a duldhood love, who passed over MwT to marry the town's rich man (he owns the egg candling plant) is quite en- chanting she small town bourgeoisie ie hectored by a Lingering at- traction to MacTavuh. In- deed, as one character says of her, she is sniffing up his kilt. Delicious! Peter Millard plays Howard Robertson, the owner of the hardware store and he can still be seen in every small town hardware store in North America. We need only use his favourite expletive, "Sweet petunia!" and readers will know what we mean. Sandy Webster nicely portrays the retired toren banker, Ken James is perfect as the BBC -big, beefy cop and Michad Ball can hardly be improved upon as the mayor of the town. Pure Allan Lamport. or Oliver Crockford. Bob Ramsay does well as "the Kid" in the telegraph office and meter MacNeill is the town's rich man, rich in foods but starved for true affection firom a real wife. Qlarmion King plays the town madame and plays her in the grand manner. This is no whore with a heart of gold; this is a third generation woman working in public service. Kate Trotter is the bride manqu k and she is sweetly spunky, not notably bright but filled with what used to be called peasant shrewdnish, nicely tempered with street smarts acquired during her 15 years in Toronto. One suspects that we are not truly getting across just how good this play is. We can only repeat that it is distinctively Canadian but more than that, it is a fine work.

Remember that this is Saskatchewan, the cradle of Canadian socialism in 1948 at the time of early birth pangs.

ON RECORD: Have finally had the op- portunity to give a proper listen to Murray McLauchlan's Swinging' On A Star (Capitol) record- ed here in Toronto. We like it . . but then, what's not to like? It's gen- tle, inoffensive and reasonably melodic. Our chronology is suspect so it's difficult to say if Murray McLauchlan Sol uhds like the late Jim Croce or if the latter sound- ed like Mr. M. Come to reflect upon it, Mr. McL.auchlan's singing has .more than just a passing similarity to that of Roger Miller. Reflecting further it seems to us that one cut The Natural State is pure Roger Miller even to the prime melodic thrust. • " indeed - Anyway, the album is a nice, safe mix of humin' and inspiration that all will enjoy.. but few remember. Take mom chances Mr. McLauchlan. Think about the turtle; it can't move ttnkss or until it sticks its neck out. One reads that the Bulgarian State Female Vocal Choir was establish- ed in 1952 with the retardate to seek out, perform and record folk songs from the various regions of Bulgaria. Le Mystere des Voix Bulgares-Vol.11 (Elektra / Nonesuch) is the choir's second North American release and is said to be "every bit as ravishing as the fust". We missed the first album as well as the group's Nov. 7th debut at Toronto's Convocation Hall. The second album has been audited by us, however, and we must say we are underwhelmed. The choir voices are good - at least as good as is possible given the execrable language root - but the songs, while doubtless a valuable cultural record, are not pleasant to this North American ear. Cut after cut sounds like nothing more than a Hopi Iridian sunrise chant after a night on peyote. There is occasional orchestral background but it's rather like early - very early - L.awrence Welk, accor- dions and all. This is a decidely esoteric experience and should be judged accor- dingly.

"We don't want a garbage truck falling through the roof into a garage," he told commit- tee. Currently, the lack of staff means that only 10-12 garages get inspected per year. The chance of the worst being inspected, unless there have been public complaints, is "hit and miss" Wischnewski said. He said it is difficult to get some landlords to spend money repairing these structures. The greatest threat to underground garages is the salt spread on the city's streets. The salt gets into the structure and starts wearing it down. "You usually can't see the damage until the concrete starts falling apart," said Building Commissioner George Fleming. At that point, the garage has to be rebuilt at a very high cost, be said. However, if the damage is caught early enough, less expensive repairs can be made. Hiring a special i>ispet- tar will enable about 100 of the garages to be in- Although committee ap- proved funding of $30,000, it still has to be approved by the city's budget commit- tee ommittee and council. Building, fire and legisla- tion committee recom- mended that the inspector be hired for two years an contract. New Animal Ctr by Gay Abbate After one year out sear- ching, the city is no closer to finding a new home for its Animal Centre. The present 20 year old facility on Midland Ave. just south of Progress Ave. is overcrowded, obsolete and falling apart. Its walls are cracked and access to it is nearly impossible. Council last year approv- ed $2.3 million for a new facility and preliminary drawings have already been prepared. All that's missing is a site. Don Mitton, the centre's director, said it is in- conceivable that an ap- propriate site can't be found since less than one acre is needed. He said in- dustrial areas, while readi- ly available, are not suitable because the centre has to be on a main road with good public visibility and accessibility. Mitton said the present facility is also in danger of being shut down by the pro- vincial ministry of the en- vironment. The TTC has complained to the ministry about the centre's crematorium. When the wind is blowing and animals are being cremated, the smell goes to the RT station. Mitton said some changes have been made and the situation is not as bad now. A new facility would solve this problem, he said Wed. Jan. 18, 1989 THE NEWS/POST Page 9 Metro Seeking Working Arrangement With Regions In Garbage 'Deputations from sur - and Sear - borough the Metro Works Committee on Jan. 11th about the decision council has to make in establishing a new garbage site or sites. The final decision saw Scarborough's Brian Har- rison and Ken Morrish agreeing letting all parts of Toronto, including Scarborough's Rouge Valley, be "on the table" when Metro Chairman Allan lbnks meets with the provincial government and other regional chairmen on Jan. 26th. Pickering Councillor Beverley Morgan com- mended Metro for attemp- ting to recycle some gar- bage but said that the citizens of Durham are be- ing ignored and aren't receptive to more garbage from Metro Toronto. She said: "Durham has been too kind to Metro" and mentioned the two nuclear plants. "Our backyard is full and so in our front yard" she told the Works Committee. Durham Councillor Pat Clark pointed out that Metro's overflow growth had spilled into Durham making that area change from small communities into suburban districts. "You are determined to have our land for your gar- bage but we have a right to decide what e t� � to our land,She wants all garbage dumps closed in Durham region for Metro garbage.

Separate School Trustee Paul Costello from Vaughan said even students there are against any more use of dumps ,mere. A Miss Edwards said she came to address and save council from itself. She thinks that the en- vironmental issue will be in every election in the future and she would hate to see people bringing their garbage and dumping it on city hall Joyce Scott said she lives in the Rouge Valley area and suggests durnping gar- bage in Haigh Part, but knows that that is a terrible idea, too.

A Mr. Robb told the cxmi- mittee that the Rouge has fertile farm lands and trees and recently a Seneca In- dian village was found there. He said garbage put there would jeopardize the world class environmental park to be funded with Ino million in federal funds. Mayor Dave Johnson of East York emphasized that recycling is only one com- ponent of the problem and there is reduction, re -use and recovery. He said he feels the Metro chairman will be successful in getting a new site and they won't be looking at the Scar- borough location. Councillor Brian Har- rison said the previous council put this council in a difficult role. He said that he is willing to open up everything to show "our open view". He felt that Metro has been good neighbours to Vaughan and York Region but thinks Metro has dumped on Scar- borough - And Harrison wants the Incinerator in Toronto Metro Councillor Chris Stockwell agreed with Har- rison but said that interim solutions are required. He noticed that the other regions have not turned down any developments in their areas and these developments have come from the backs of Metro Toronto. He added that in rejecting Metro garbage the regions are creating a problem and are short sighted. Metro Councillor Ken Morrish said if the Beare Rd. ski hill is on the table for a dump then how about Etobicoke's ski hill? He got agreement on that Metro Councillor Norm Gardner pointed out how il- logical it would be for the province to allow separate sites for Metro garbage from the regions' waste. "The outside regions might have to add $800 taxes to each house to pay for it," he said. He pointed out that everybody is saying "not in my backyard" but in- termediate sites are need- ed.

My new Metro Council office is located at 390 Bay St. Toronto, Suite 316 and the phone number is 392-4076. If you have any problems or questions with regard to issues under the jurisdiction of the metro- politan government I will be happy to talk with you. In an emergency my home phone number is 293-2304. 1 have been appointed to a number of council committees including the Community Service and Housing Committee, the Legislation and Licensing Committee, the Board of Management of the Metro Toronto Zoo, the Metro Toronto Police Benefit Fund Committee and the Municipal Section of the Canadian National Exhibition Association. However, though I am not on all Metro committees I will be attending and keeping in touch with each committee of the council. So far the biggest issue under discussion which affects residents of my ward is the possible use of the Rouge Valley for a garbage landfill site. However, this matter will be addressed by area regional chairmen and the provincial government first and hopefully a solution will be found that will not adversely affect the Rouge area. I will be sitting on top of this topic because of Its great significance to people in our ward and indeed, to everyone in Scarborough and all of Metro Toronto and district.

Rachel King When one hears of the name Singapore, one's im- agination usually turns to the exotic. A number of famous writers have journeyed to and stayed in Singapore, Somerset Maughan and Noel Coward to mention two. Where is Singapore? It is at the crossroads of the In- dian and Pacific Oceans, just north of the equator in the strait of Malacea a very busy shipping lane, and where ships travel from the Indian Ocean to reach the South China Sea. Singapore is an indepen- dent state, comprising of an island -city and over 50 small islands. Many people commute from these islands to the metropolis of Singapore, which is a thriv- ing centre of finance and commerce. Skyscrapers abound and all have their individual design, but these office complexes are spaced out so one does not only just see skyscrapers, including the tallest hold in the world, the Stamford Westin Plaza at 72 stories. From its lofty vantage point both the lounge and dining room have an incredible view, day or night, as long as the dards are not dumping their daily sprinkling of water on the city. Well watered by nature this tropical city is beautifully green with all kinds of plants and trees. Bananas grow in gardens alongside rubber trees. The Botanical Gardens are ex- tensive and beautifully landscaped, here one may also visit the orchid garden, owing to the climate they ®now profuse- ly, these gardens are worth a visit. Singaporeans are a frigidly mix of people, 2.5 millions in total. Some 76% are Chinese decent, 15% are Malaysian, 7% Indian and 2% European. They are industrious, helpful and above all law abiding. Criminal activities are not encouraged by tax laws, on the contrary, laws are kept strictly and punishment is hard. Hence one is safe to roam around this delightful island -city without fear of being attacked day or night. Singapore is one of the safest cities in the world. When we say .'roam„ I mean, walk or travel by any of the modes of transport provided. Oh yes, rickshaws attached to bicycles are loved by tourists and there are plen- ty awaiting one's request outside the famous Raffles Hotel and in Orchard Road area, but the local buses, and the new subway For all your travel needs "We'll show you what Travel Service really means" 284'$300 MORNINGSIDE MALL The mall entrance beside Woolco, Upper Level OPEN rt30 am. • a 30 p.m. Mon • Fh. to am. - 5 p. m Sat,xOays system (MTC) are ex- cellent. The local transpor- tation is spotlessly clean and this goes for taxis too and the fares are inexpen- sive, except after midnight taxis are allowed to add an extra percentage to the fare. It appears that everyone (mows their city well and if one seems a little confused at intersections when fust venturing out with a street map, ask the next person to give your some help - they do it with sincere friendliness and never was I misdirected. The Orchard Road is a famous shipping and hotel arra but there are hun- dreds of shops to see and visit, huge plazas are at - to hotels, office buildings and business complexes. One can take a look along Arab Road, the old Indian arra and barter half the afternoon, or discuss having exquisite sine, cotton and light weight woolen cloth made into a skirt, gown, shirt, suit at a local tai 's in a shopping plaza, don't have items made with 24 hours but take a little longer, the workmanship pays off. As Singapore is a freeeport, jewellery is at- tractively priced, always obtain a certificate of what one has purchased. Wat- ches are a good bury, as are corals, jade, rubies, pearls and most precious stones. The Jade Collection at the National Museum is irr teresting to see. The museum is small and in two hours one may have had a pleasant visit and by this one may understand the culture a little better and have a better knowledge of the history of this busy area of the worid. Another good museum is on the pleasure island of Sen- tara, here one may spend a whole day and evening, catch the dancing water show. A boat cruise with hruch is an excellent way to see the huge harbour basin. Keppel Shipyards are a busy place, the World Trade Center is a for- mative building, flags on the ships lying at anchor give one a true test of how well one knows flags of na- tias. Ships are loading refined oil, rubber pro- ducts, oil drilling equip- ment and electronics and they unload building equip- ment, industrial ceramic items, food and a great number of domestic items. Singapore never sleeps, hundreds of restaurants stay open late at night, but try the foods from many cultures no matter where. There are excellent, inex- pensive small restaurants in picturesque laneways. Dinner can be obtained for Can. $12 - $18 without any problems and one can also pay Can. $50 for a meal. Alcohol is pricy as in Canada but European wines are inexpensive and the local "British style" This is one of beach views which Bob Watson :aw or, a re- Mom and more Canadians are finding out that a trip to cent trip to Portugal in October.

Whatever the desire - peace and solitude on miles of Gulf of Mexico beaches, carefree frvllicking in fun filled amusement centres, or a bit of intellectual stimulation - Central West Florida offer satisfaction for every whim. Something For Everyone The gateway city to the Central West Coast is Crystal River. Some 30 spr- ings merge here to form the mouth of the Crystal River. Both salt and freshwater fishing are ex- cellent, giving the sport- sman an opportunity to take home something in ad- dition to a fabulous tan. Divers will be delighted to find the clear sparkling waters especially inviting and will be enchanted by the antics of Florida's beloved manatee. The Crystal River State Archaeological Site is horse to temple and burial mounds constructed by In- dians 1600 years ago. Since 1903, as many as 450 Indian burial sites have been un - Visitors sit back and soak up the sights as they cruise the Homnosassa River on a pontoon boat, or enjoy a relaxing stroll through the botanical gardens. Those wishing to discover under- water life without getting their feet wet can visit the underwater observatory. Travelling south, Florida's guests will ex- perience the splendor of professional underwater shows at Weeki Wachee. Centred around a clear, natural spring more that 130 feet deep, the show features graceful "mer- maids". Ancient mariners beer is cheap. So if Singapore attracts you as it did me, start shop- ping for a fare and enjoy a perfectly delightful part of the world where east meets west. believed that shimmering beauties were transformed from the homely manatee. Viewed from an underwater am- phitbeatre, these shows have become the most popular aspect of this beautiful natural wonder. Tarpon Springs prey invited visitors to the state to comae share in its history. In the early 1900s, a com- munity of Greek sponge fishermen decided to move from Key West to the spr- ings, where conditions were more favourable. It is now one of the world's largest sponge markets. Visitors at the docks can be treated to a demonstration of sponge harvesting. as they dim b aboard the boat of an old Greek dressed in traditional diving gear. Those searching for peace and tranquility, or perhaps a sultry tan, may find a perfect respite in Clearwater Beach. A two mile stretch of white beach plus an average of 361 sun filled days, equals endless opportunites for basking in the radiant sunshine. Vaca- tioners can jog along the beach, search for some unusual shells for a collec- tion, or try their hard at fishing. Whether visitors try their luck from the shore or charter a boat from the Clearwater Marina, they almost assuredly take home a trophy from the deep. Should TTC Expand McCowan RT Yard? by Gay Abbate The TTC is currently con- sidering whether to expand the McCowan RT yard or build a new one further north to accommodate the anticipated increase in number of vehicles to ser- vice a forecasted increase in ridership within the next few years. A study by the TPC has come up with four options ranging in cost from $13.2 million to $75.2 million. Scarborough Councillors Marilyn Mushinski and Edith Montgomery, whose wards would be affected by the changes, say they are not happy with any of the options. They say there are other and better alter- natives. The report has been sent to Scarborough for its com- ments. The TTC expects to in- crease the number of vehicles to 44 from the pre- sent 23 by 1991. Once the RT is extended to Sbeppavd Ave., the number of vehicles will increase to 78. The current McCowan sta- tion yard which was to be temporary cannot accom- modate the extra loud. The fust option is to ex- pand the McCowan yard at a cost of $13,250,000. The TPC already has most of the lard required for this option. It would only have to buy a small parcel from Metro at about $150,000. The second option re- quires the purchase or ex- propriation of two private properties along Ellesmere Rd. including the wean and Cullen nursery. The cost of obtaining this land has been estimated at about $14.5 million. Option 3 would require the purchase of the same Private properties as op- tion 2. The difference bet- ween the two options is in the configuration of the yard and tracks. Option 4 is the construc- tion of a new yard at Markham and Sheppard. The TTC would have to buy 34 acres of federally owned land and some nine acmes from Metro at an estimated cost of $19 million If this option is selected then the present McCowan yard would no longer be needed and the property could be sold for about $3 million. The report recommends that the TIC go with Option 1 for the short term and op- tion 4 when the RT is ex- tended. In order to accom- modate this option, the report recommends that the federal and metro la & be protected.

PHONE: THERESA 889.8499 Ontario Trails Council To Be Singular Voice The Ontario Trails Coun- cil (OTC) has been formed from representatives of the various and many trail user associations in On- tario. In November 1988 at Ballantrae, Ontario, ex- ecutive representatives of 14 different trail user groups representing ap- proximately 50,000 members plus government representatives and in- terested individuals, unanimously endorsed the proposed Constitution and Corporate Plan thereby forming the Ontario Trails Council. Mavis McCulltim, Pro Tem Chairman, of Stouff- ville, Ontario was en- thusiastic about the en- dorsement.
