Durham Realtors Busy In Feb.With 317 Home Buyers The month of February was busy for Durham realtofrs as 317 homebuyers entered the market, reports the Oshawa & District Real Estate Board (ODREB ). "We are expecting a busy spring market, and February's statistics are showing a good increase, as opposed to January," says ODREB President Christine Kendall. "A government survey shows that over 2,000 homes were bought in Oshawa and the surroun- ding area by first-time homebuyers who took ad- vantage of the five percent downpayment policy since it came into effect last year, and I am sure this amount will rise once Spr- .T.:............................ :�•:........................ex This space could be yours for just $ 22.00 per week ing has sprung," adds Ken- dall. In February, 317 homes were sold compared to January's 210. The average price has increased by three percent to $144,327. Statistics show that an average of 55 days was needed to sell these homes. ..This month also showed a considerable increase in the amount of listings available to interested homebuyers," says Ken- dall. "Close to 2600 homes are on the market throughout the Durham Region, with the median price being between $120,000 to $140,000. As you can see, the selection and the affordability is showing very positive signs," she adds. Public Library Board budget recently, it directed the board to reduce staffing at the Bay Ridges Branch, in order to bring the library's budget total in line with those of other town departments The loss of $23,000 in Bay Ridges payroll will mean reducing service at the branch from 30 to 20 hours a week. The reduction will begin very shortly, in early April, in order to be within 1 he approved budget at year end. The board recognizes that it most take its share of the current financial hardship experienced by the municipality." com- mented Dave Farr, the Library Board's Chair- man. -We regret the in- convenience to the Bay Ridges community, but believe that the reduced schedule will provide the best available service within the budget allowance we have...

Koh Watson Education authorities in Ontario are all busy these days trying to find answers to the overwhelming costs of educa- tion. Reports even show, that the director of education for one public school board has been meeting with his opposite number in the local Roman Catholic separate school board to make joint use of buses and other activities to reduce their total costs. In February 1970 yours truly presented a brief to a Liberal Convention detailing how -An Integrated School System For Ontario" would work. Generally this concept would put all public schools. separate schools and private schools under one school board, but each divuAon would function educationally on its own. In our opinion all schools, regardless of what they are. which educate children up to grade 13, should becoor- dinated in order to eliminate any overlap in accommoda- tion and provide intelligent planning. Anyone wishing a copy of this 1970 "An Integrated School System For Ontario" can get one from our offices at 150 Alner Ave.. Unit M. Scarborough. Missed The Point? To the Editor: Bob Watson's February 24 editorial on Ontario's new road signs missed the key point behind the $1.7 trillion replacement cost. These signs feature improved "sign technology which makes them easier to read. thereby pro- viding less distraction for drivers. and hence making the highways much safer. The main change is that several words are replaced by symbols. and so assimilation is less difficult and more universal Furthermore. his justification for leaving English -only Signs cones solely from the fact that Quebec ..doesn't cater to its English-speaking munonty". steel%y our province can rise above the prejudice of the Quebec government' Our country is bilingual. and as the signs are being replaced anyway, an opportunity to take pride in our two official languages at no extra cost is more than welcome.

Former Toronto Councillor Being of Chinese and English descent. (thus granted automatic victim status). with family members of Japanese. Ukrainian, and German descent, raised in racially -mixed neighbourhoods, and having been a member of a Jewish fraternity, my whole life has been a sensitizing odyssey in race relations: however. even I was initially bewildered by the current climate of race relations. I was a founding member of the Mayor's Committee on Community and Race Relations in 1480, full of good inten- tions. Notwithstanding good intentions and the exponential growth of the rights and race relations industries in the in- tervening decade, apparently nothing has been resolved. Some say things are worse. Others disagree. Which view is accurate? Does the majority view receive appropriate prominence? Why are public policies not enthusiastically embraced? Aside from natural resistance to disempower- ment. why the whispered grumbling and smoldering resentment? We seem to be righting wrongs. Why no sense of moral uplifting? Or do we instinctively sense that these initiatives are fundamentally flawed vet are afraid to op- pose them for fear of being branded racist? My bewilderment has given way to angry disappointment Mainstream Canada Bell's party line doesn't ring true sr Hither! wicks Alexander Graham Bell, the first person to ever have phone trorsbie, was ambitions and imo- rab - But as am irrveasDr. his good judgement and rioegrrty weren't compromised by an in- satiable durst for profit Regret- tably. the same can't be said for a powerful benchcury of A.G. bell's invention. Heti Canada_ This is the reaction after see- ing Bell Canada's profes for re- cession-navaged 1992(atmostSI billion!) and hearing Bell wants to hike local telephone rates for cuctcxners in Ontario and Ow- bm ( where it has a monopoly on local service) by 60 per cent The Canadian Radvo4clevi- sion and Telecommunications Cornmission (CRTC) will make the final decision bud in the meantime Bell has tried to justify tts thirst for revenue with a scheme that involves expanding the local calling areas around the throe largest cam in Bell terri- 1my—Metro Toronw, Ottawa- HuII and Montreal. If approved, the average cost of basic tical service for teadenntW customers would rise io S 16.88 from S (031. Aspokesperson for Bell declared, "It is only by having a strong fmanc:W base Mut we are able to meet customers' demands, pro- vide reliable, high-quality tel- ecommunwations and maintain Canada's worldwide reputation for excellence." Frankly. this is iclecommuni- cations twaddle. What's really go> m an hero is Bell Canada is atte111 j'" to mute Up else money on local usage it will lose in tete recently opened long4wtarrx darker Bed expects by 1994 to hive lost 14 per teat of its long- disbace market to competitors so the answer is to soak the local subscriber. The new services of- fered lately by Bell we again a reaction from a scared mo- nopoly as it loses its grip on the market. These services could have been offered years ago: Bell wouldn't more on them be- cause it had no incentive to do so. Compention has gives it incen- tive. What's more, the expanded local calling service is essentially a present lo big business at the expense of small firms and indi- vidual users. Bell makes most of its money from big busaness us- er so that's where they target their marketing strategies. Finally. when the CRTC re- laxed the "-distance competi- tion rules. it soessed that local rates should not be inicre:ased substantially as a result_ Well, after a S I billion profit4icb year. a 60 per cent hike is pretty darn substantial. What'sdewhoman of this is that BellCanada's greed knows no bounds. The man who invented the telephone would surely agree. CF)B F"N" Service Resale Housing Markets Start tie% Year in Low- Gear Total housing resales in Canada's 25 major markets slip- ped by 21.4 per cent in January 1993• with tour markets posting higher sales compared to January 1992. Figures released by The Canadian Real Estate Associa- tion (CREA) show that major market resales in January totalled 9,284. A number of large real estate boards reported that very cold weather resulted in slow sales in the first two weeks of January. Many real estate boards reported that sales picked up in the last two weeks of the month. because of the pervasive lack of intestinal fortitude in con- fronting these questions. Despite the criticism the radical left and their liberal apologists have held sway for so long, their views seem to be part of the natural order and any questioning, deviation, or more conservative view is deemed morally repugnant and dismissed. Some guilt -ridden neurotic whites even seem determined to expiate their ancestors' misdeeds by succumbing to exploitive manipulation by cunning minori- ty groups. This is not to imply pervasive insincerity: neither is it to deny the existence of racism. Rather, it is to suggest a balanced view may be more helpful. Contrary to what mili- tant minorities advocate, skin colour is not a badge of en- titlement. The present state of affairs (i.e. public acceptance, private rejection) did not evolve because Canadians are in- tolerant. It exists because attempts at public debate have been stifled with accusations of racism. This is patently un- fair and counterproductive because it devalues opponents' opinions and breeds a festering resentment which is in- imical to these well-intentioned policies. Remember Isaac Newton's admonition: For every ac- tion. there is an equal and opposite reaction. Bred from overweening zealousness, this refusal to debate "politically incorrect" views is not only undemocratic• it has radicalized the moderates denied a public forum for their views. The left should reflect on its own catalytic role in the resurgence of right-wing fanatics and hate literature. Empioyment equity is one policy that has rekindled resentment toward minority groups. While many people could support hiring a minority applicant if all other qualifications were identical. this scenario is rare. Most often several candidates are all in the qualified range (the "pool.. of fully -qualified candidates). All graduates of any institution are theoretically "qualified". But, are they equally qualified'. Is even the top 10% equally qualified? Who decides? Grant, for a moment, that an erns layer is not racist. Employment equity denies an employer the natural right to exercise accumulated experience in making a selection. Why should the final decision not be the employer's? It is this denial and devaluation of the integrity of personal experience that precludes wide and enthusiastic suPPort. EmPlovement equity does not diminish racism. it ex- acerbates it. If. however, employment equity is irrevocable, either because those in Power genuinely support it or are afraid to retreat, then implement it with precision. This is social ..ngineer•irtg. and engineering science is quite precise. Redressing past injustices should precisely target and prix nze the previous victims - the truly disadvantaged, Native Canadians, Black Canadians, and Asian Cana- dians have a long history of disadvantageous and discriminatory treatment. They have been in Ince a long time awaiting fair and equal treatment. Wiry should a re- cent arrival from the West Indies or Asia leapfrog to the front? In order to be meticulously fair, one must serve those who came first and who creed it most. Earlier ones who have not progressed to the nuddle-class have a prior claim on the collective quilt of Canadians. Recent arrivals should only get colour-blind treatment. not preferential treatment! In the last decade. there has been increasing clamour about the "urrepresenutiveness" of our public institutions. Is this really racism or merely reflecting the fact that the vast majority of visible nutionties are the latest arrivals? The lack of colour in our institutions is due to historical• not contemporary racism. The -whiteness" of our institutions also reflects the fuller integration of earlier European immigrants. As recent ar- rivals integrate, our institutions will naturally become more "representative". It is normal for the demographic composition of institutions to lag behind the makeup of the general population because a country can quickly alter its population base though immigration. An institution, with its structural inertia, cannot respond as rapidly. Consider the opposition to forced early retirement perhaps the malignancies of racism and ageism cannot be excised simultaneously! Those who posit the thesis that contemporary racism causes all of society's ills and who see racism in every leaf that falls, should rethink their views. It is possible that their bigotry has fueled anti -immigrant sentiment and precipitated the re-emergence of white supremacists. Everyone, of every race, should publicly and une- quivocally debate public policies. The resounding silence must not continue. Public debate is the essence of democracy: however, debate should proceed with candour, competence, and consistency! While it is unfashionable to contemplate, and even more unfashionable to discus, the essential reason some of our "politically correct" policies have not been widely embrac- ed is simply that they are patronizing, patriarchal and at root, incorrect. Furthermore, moderate, reasonable people intuitively sense that they are fundamentally wrong• ine- quitable, and insupportable. ___________________________-_..____ i Give A Gift That Lasts All Year!

This year, Voyage IV of the Jason Project will ex- amine two fascinating life systems in the Sea of Cor- tez off the coast of Baja California in Mexico. The first, with the magnificent Grey Whale at the top of its food chain, exists at the water's surface and originates with photosynthesis -based plant growth. The second, and much more extraordinary system, is one that plays out its existence on the sea's bottom, in utter darkness. This system, in- cluding such bizarre life forms as giant white tube worms, is based on chemosynthesis - a process that uses sulphur com- pounds in the same way that photosynthesis uses light. Intended to encourage young people to pursue educational and profes- sional careers in science and technology, the Jason Profect inspires by involv- ing. Since its creation five years ago by Dr. Robert Ballard of the Jason Foun- dation for Education, the project has taken more than three-quarters of a million students to the Mediterranean Sea, Lake Ontario and the Galapagos Islands. The students who participate in the expedi- tions become part of the research team. Voyage IV to Baja California marks the third straight expedition in which the Ontario Science Centre has been involved, one of only two downlink sites in Canada. New this year is the participation of Bell Canada, sponsor of the Jason Project at the On- tario Science Centre.

F- RIVULf4 HOUO4 2240 Markham Rd. at Finch �s FN4CH AVE. s►f"AAD NE, Page 6 THE NEWS POST Wed. March 10. 19M Bill Watt's Worlds ON STAGE: There's a spritely musical now on view in Toronto but only until Mar. 28th and only at the Leah Posluns Theatre. It should not be missed. Esther by Elizabet S%vados is a retelling, sometimes irreverently, of the biblical heroine who concealed her ancestry to save the Jews in ancient Persia from genocide. She is the raison d'etre for Purim. Esther, the musical, has rather obviously been in- fluenced by Jesus Christ Superstar and Godspell but that's alright: it has taken the best from both. From the former• it has borrowed the idea of a group of touring players presenting a biblical work. From the latter. it has bor- rowed a moving (literally) set design and funky costuming. What is completely its own is a dynamic cast of six well instructed in Judaism and filled with a talented energy that reaches out and includes the audience. It's not an esoteric work which is one way of saying you don't have to be Jewish to enjoy it. ( One of our favourite lines is heard %lien the cast is discussing howto end the play. One remarks "No martyrs' That's too Christian". Tas- ty and tasteful. ) It is quite simply a refreshing even- ing of theatre. The six performers are here from Washington D.C. and each one excels in his or her singing and dancing. There is no star, this is tru- ly an ensemble work and so WN quite in order to list the cast alphabeticall%. Sean Baldwin is a Rav Bolger type who plays Haman in the play within a play. He approaches the skill of his look-alike notably in the ballet movements. One tends to forget that Ray Bolger trained for the ballet and we have an idea that ballet is Mr. Baldwin's first discipline. Ariy%•ay. he's also a good hoofer and a fine comic Amie Bermowitz has a name that sounds like a shaving cream but a voice as sooth as same. So smooth is it, that the young lade as Esther is able to evoke from it the joy of youth as well as the deter- mination of one who wills for common humanity. Sweetly dramatic. Tracy Flint who doubles as a narrator and Vashti, has a silky kinetic that enables her to be both mir- thful and regal. She, too, does nicely in ballet. Michael Forrest is a stur- dy figure of a man with a sturdy, robust voice to match. He is Mordechai but he could be aurone with his fine voice. Even so, it doesn't prevent him from being an almost inspired clown %lien necessary. Garth Kravits is Ahasheurus. He has a physical resemblance to Joey Grey and. as well. he has the same ability to evoke ancestral memories in his humour. One remembers fondly. Joev Grey singing Roumania' ?*[r. Kayitz reminds one of him while clever eschewing his own considerable and distinct talents. Audrey Wasilewski doubles as a narrator Emcee, all this while regal - ft with her good singing and dancing. And. oh my. can she deliver a good take and an even better reaction shot. A trio of musicians are seated in the back of a pick up truck on stage and pro- vide the music under the spirited direction of Phyllis Cohen at the keyboards. The only flaw in the en- tire evening is the fact that the songs aren't listed in the program. Orie would liked to have been able to mention them be title. It doesn't really matter though. What matters is that Esther is a grand, en- joyabie musical. What a pi- ty it's here for such a short time. AT THF: BHAI.I.ET: The third Erik Bruhn competition has ended and the dames of the winners %ill follow further on. First though. alloy us AroundandAbout Your Dining &Entertainment Guide some editorializing. This column has never felt that any such endeavour should be described as a competi- tion. It should be a festival: a festival given over to the glory of the dance with win- ners acknowledged as the perceived better dancers on that particular occasion. A competition involves all participants doing ex- actly the same and some being deemed better at it than the others. That's a competition' Competition or festival, the latest tribute to the memory of Erik Bruhn can justly be designated a suc- cess even though one misses the glamour associated with it at the beginning. (Doesn't anyone dress anymore said he not so plaintively? And, must contemporary audiences show approval by hooting and veiling? What's next. whirring ratchet wheels and streamers") All of the dancers acquit- ted themselves right nobly and it seems a shame that anyone need be declared a winner. It seems to this observer that all con- testants are winners simp- ly by virtue of having been chosen to compete. The winner for the ladies -as Julie Kent of the American Ballet Theatre. With her partner Peter Morrison, she danced the Act Two pas de deux from Uselle and the balcony pas de deux from Romeo and Juliet. The first was from the classical repertoire and the second. from the con- temporary. Such is the young lady's grace and elegance that she made both works appear classic and classical. The male winner was Johann Kobborg from the Royal Danish Balkt. In each of the three years of the competition, one of the inners has leen Kith the Royal Danish. .Mr. Kobborg began the This is a scene Irt,m "Esther" at the Leah Posluens Theatre.

In the former he danced with elan: in the latter. he displayed an excellent eoeledic sense melded to controlled strength. So. the Erik Bruhn Com- petition has been held for another veer and one rove retires to live again, in memory, an excellent evening of dance. Grumpy to the end• however one must state that the evening of dance was not a menxw abie evening in its entirety.

Roll on political union eh? Here's a book warranted to bring pleasant memories or anticipation of the trip. The Florida Cookbook by Jeannie Foltz and Caroline Stuart ( Alfred A. Knopf Inc. ) is, like so many of the genre. made up in almost equal parts of history. travelogue and recipes. It's printed in Bodoni Book on light sepia paper nicely il- lustrated with old photographs and art deco line drawings. The cover under the jacket is - Hallelujah' -laminated making this handsome volume equally at home in the kitchen or in one's library. Of distinct interest is that the book addresses the principal regions of the state and the cuisine more or less native to them. Among the many salivatory are Gazpachee Salad from The Panhandle. Green Bean and Walnut Pate from The Big Bend and Sweet Potato Yeast Biscuits from Central Florida. The only drawback one Might suggest from full en- joyment of The Florida Cooktx)ok is that some of the ingredients in the recipes are not readily available here in Canada. However, there's a conve- nient listing of provisioners at the end of the book. It's safe to say that it's almost as much enjoyment reading the recipes here as it is trying them. Almost, that is.

March 10, 199'3 711E NEW:~ POST Page 7 WEEK from Ottawa With Rene Soetens, M.P. Though much will be written on him. I would like to ex- press my thoughts on Prime Minister Mulronev's an- nouncement. In particular. I would like to extend my best wishes to him for his year; of service to Canada. He leaves behind a long list of accomplishments. In the spectrum of international affairs he was an excellent am- bassador, representing our nation admirably on the world stage. He made important inroads in international trade. when it was necessary to adapt to a changing global marketplace. He made important gains in redirecting the economy, reducing inflation and interest rates to levels not enjoyed in previous years. He eliminated a terrible tax on manufacturing that damaged competitiveness and favoured imports over Canadian -made goods. In the four vears that I have sen -ed in Parliament. I have always felt like part of a team. This is due in large part to the Prime Minister's belief that all members of his caucus should be involved in the political process. My input was sought. listened to. and acted upon on numerous occasions. Knowing that my ideas were welcome ensured that I could add the concerns of Ontario Riding to the discussion. There were many issues that would have never seen the light of day had it not been for his willingness for caucus to discuss them. The side of the Prime Miruster that most people never see is his genuine concern, outside the political debate. for his colleagues This is an aspect of his character appreciated by not only this NIP, but by all tilts. As he steps down. I thank him for the difficult choices he has made in the interests of the country, and his efforts to include all members of his caucus in the drafting of those decision.

Ontario Youth Parliament The Ontario youth parlia- ment (OYP), a forum modelled after Queen's Park, is now actively seek- ing delegates from this area, for its 25th anniver- sary session. The conference, which is to be held at Emmanuel United Church, Windsor, March 12 to 15, will bring together 150 youth, aged 15 to 2D from all across On- tario to debate various pieces of legislation. Legislation topics will in- clude Legalization of Homosexual Marriages, Regulation on Labour Unions, Sexual Harass- ment and Privatization of Post Secondary Education Funding. The debate is organized in a nonpartisan format. All votes are votes of cons- cience and delegates are encouraged to express their own ideas and not just tow the party line. This method of debate allows for the free expression of ideas and helps the delegates learn how to exrpess themselves. As an interdenomina- tional Christian based organization. OYP also provides an opportunity for spiritual growth. Delegates are exposed to this through evening vesper services, dun ng which time a theme is developed. The theme for this year is "Breaking New Ground". Delegates are also en- couraged to attend a church service on the Sun- day. As an expression of thanks, OYP returns a lit- tle to the community that prays hast to the session. Monetary support of a youth oriented charity is an OYP tradition. Money is raised throughout the weekend by way of raffles, draws, contests and games. Registration inquiries should be directed to Neal Starner, 41-925 Lawson Rd., London, Ont.

POST Page 9 Metro Toronto Board Of Trade Executive Summary EDUCATION ILe Prosperity Initiative The board recently responded to the section on learning in the Federal Steering Group on Pro- sperity's "Action Plan". The board bases its com- ments specifically on the development of an all- inclusive 'learning culture': a strategy to focus on results, make lear- ning continuous, innovate to strengthen the system, and involve all Canadians. While the board is generally supportive of the recommendations. it in- dicates three areas of con- cern: 1 I the lack of long-term vi- sion regarding what a Canadian learning society would look like in 10 or 20 years: 21 the lack of emphasis on adult learning: 31 the ability of a national structure such as the Cana- dian Learning Forum to really effect change. There is a certain level of ap- prehension that such an organization could become a large bureaucracy - more embroiled in process than in stimulating reform. Although the Action Plan calls for a five-year man- date for the Forum, the 'board recommends that its effectiveness be reviewed prior to the end of that mandate. The board cautions that additional financial expen- ditures will not be necessary to implement this plan, as a refocusing of existing monies allocated to education and adult training will be sufficient to Support the strategy. AiR SERVICES Customs and Immigration Clearance at Pearson Air - Port The board is contacted regularly by members con- cerning the length of customs and immigration processing at Pearson Air- port upon return to Canada. The board's principal goal is to expedite the Primary processing of ar- riving passengers, specifically Canadian citizens, and to ensure that an undue burden is not placed upon foreign na- tionals, especially tourists and potential investors, when entering Canada. The board recommends the following: 1) the segregation of Cana- dian citizens and foreign nationals should be better enforced through the use of multilingual electronic signs: 2) immigration personnel should be present in the primary processing area to review cases more quick- ly: express lines for fre- quent travellers and for returning travellers with nothing to declare should be enacted: 3) a full "red door green door" customs policy should be in effect follow- ing retrieval of luggage. The board also requests that ''in transit" facilities, for connecting passengers not entering Canada, be developed in order to facilitate Pearson's role as a gateway hub airport to :Borth America.

Murray MacDonald. Director of the Down Syn- drome Society. presented the videos in a keynote presentation to seven local clubs of the Civitan organization at an inter- club dinner meeting in Scarborough on Jan. 25. In his presentation. :4tr MacDonald told Civitan members that less than two decades ago. people with Down Syndrome were routinely institutionalized. Down Syndrome is a genetic disorder that af- fects mental and physical capabilities. In past years. it has been generally assumed that Down Syn- drome people had no abili- ty to learn and would never be able to contribute to society. The new promo- tional videos deliver a very different and moving message. At the Civitan inter -club meeting of Jan. 25. Civitan and the Down Syrhdrome Society 1otnUy recognized Tom Jakobelc. Councilor for the City of Toronto, for his many years of assistance with the work of both organizations. Civitan is a "ha dsi-on" organza- [ ion of men and women who donate personal time in various projects. For example. the PI rkweods Civitan Club finger prints children and adults to assist in the event of loss or abduction. The East Metro Civitan clubs jointly sponsor a swim meet for people who have Down Syndrome or other limitations. The cooperation of com- munitygovernment representatives like Tom Jakobek is essential to the work of service organiza- tions.

It may be best to wear light, loose cotton clothing that covers your body.in- cluding your arms and legs. to reduce the risk of being bitten by insects. Always wear a well - ventilated hat when out- doors during mid-day. if you're going to a tropical country, ask your physician if he or she has (elate -date information on malaria. Recommended medications are constantly changing. depending on the development of resistance in the malaria parasite. e Avoid drinking water in Third World countries. It is safer to buy bottled water. • Realize that what we assume is safe in Canada may not be so safe elsewhere - walking barefoot in some develop- ing countries could lead to a nasty infection of hookworms, or a painful fire and bite. If you have special medical needs. or if you are pregnant, be sure to have the contact names of physi- cians at your destination. e Carry a list of your medications with your passport and in your lug- gage, in case one of these items is lost or stolen. e (k)ing to a sunny destina- tion' Take a waterproof sunscreen with an SPF greater than 15: apply it before going outdoors, and avoid the sun between the hot -spot hours from 10 a.m. to 2 p. m.

March to, 1993 Excellent Local Theatre by Frank Might Current production by Stage Centre Productions is "The Heiress" based on Henry James Novel "Washington Square". This community theatre group is one of the best in Southern Ontario. As stated on previous col- umns their theatre presen- tations are of the highest standard and this play is no different. The production values are superb. The set. lighting, costumes, and props were a joy to behold for a play set in 1850's. Set design was by Roy Net- tleton with costume design by L. Garth Allen who directed the play. The basic story tells of a shy and plain woman who fails in love with a charm- ing young fortune hunter. The father, a wealthy man. :sees through the fortune hunter and forbids the mar- riage. The rest of the story is for you to see. with this being a well written play with well drawn characters. All of the nine actors did well in their roles especial - Iv the two leads Barbara Fischer (Catherine Sloper) and Stephen McNeil (Mor- ris Townsend). Their characterizations were believable with good face and body acting. The weak link in the cast was Jim Webster (Dr. Sloper i who seemed to have some hesitation in the delivery of his lines which slowed the pacing. He did later rally and had some good moments. He also had a strong visual presence. Another excellent pro- duction from Stage Centre - Fairview Library- Theatre. 35 Fairview Mall Dr. W'illow•dale. Mar. 4th -13th, Thurs. Fri. Sat. and Wed. Box office 299-5557. Last week Markham Lit- tle Theatre presented the Canadian Premiere of "Beyond Reasonable Doubt" by Jeffrev Archer (the well known noveliw. It is a play written in the genre of British cant room dramas with the usual stock characters and situa- tions. Basically it deals with a barrister, Sir David Met- calfe, on trial for the murder of his terminally ill wife, Millicent. He matches Nits with the prosecutor Anthony Blair -Booth. It comes down to who is tell- ing the truth, and the se- cond act was a flashback to the scene of the crime. The two set staging was handled brilliantly by the group. The acting was believable with strong per- formances by Julian Mulock, Paul Francies, Margaret St. John and Elaine Hall in the leads. My main criticism was i didn't like the lighting plot which disturbed the mood of the play. Although it's done in films, it is not re- quired in live theatre to underline a point by- throw- ing lighting and music cues at an audience. The show %%w another re- sounding success for Markham little Theatre. Bill Watt's Worlds (..ntirwed irom Page 6) popular music measure local group Bourbon Taber- nacle Choir. (Yonder Sony i.
