John Skorobohacz CITY CLERK AND RETURNINO OFHICER The Friends of E.C. Dnnry Park will play for keeps tomorrow. 'he citizen's group wiIl host the fundraismng Challenge Day aimed at raising money to fight a proposed development of about 33 acres of land near the E.C. Drury complex with the hope of saving it for park-like use instead. The proposed development could place 189 geared-to- seniors, detached condomini- ums on the site, which some residents view as park land. A series of games and coin- petitions have been planned at the E.C. Drury site, which is located off Ontario Street, south of Main Street. The Frienda group estimates it wiil need between $35,000 to $50,000> to iauinch a solid defence of the land, said ment- ber Richard Murzin. Approximately $10,000 has been coilected s0 far. "Thinga are cooking but this is summer, and it's a difficult time to, mise funda," hie aaid.

An Ontario Municipal Board (0MB) hearing to decide the land's fate is scheduled to begin September 18 and run about two weeks. The Friends group has hired a lawyer to represent them at the hearing. "Fromn what t understand, to be considered seriously we have to be represented in that way," said Mr. Murzin. "It's the whole nature of the process." And community support is behind the Friends initiative, hie added. -It's a tough go but you can't win if you don't play. We've had the two largest public meetings in the history of Milton," said Mr. Murzin. "We want people to know we're in the final bate and we need financiai support."

St. Paul's will host CD release concert It took many voices to make one compact disc recording of the St. Paui's United Church choir. And now the release concert of the choir's debut CD 'Many Gifts, One Spirit' is set for Sunday, Sept. 17. tt'l take place in the sanctuary of the 123 Main St. E. church at 3 p.m. A reception wiil follow in the church's Graham Hall. Tickets for the CD release concert cost $5. Chiidren under 12 years of age are admitted free. "tt's the first CD we've ever done and it bas been quite an inter- esting process," said Mara King, choir president. 'We'd reaiiy like people in the community to know we're releasing this. We'd like to build this up and get some interest out there." Most of the CD was recorded in the sanctuary of the church ilseif. Since it's fat from sound-proof, that meant spending long minutes waiting for the hum of traffîc, passing airplanes, hanging radiators and a symphony of mysterious indoor creaks to quiet. When they did, 40 voices wouId launch into song under the guidance of music director Judy Hunter and Buriington recording engineer Harpert VanderWel. The iast portion of the CD was recorded at Knox Preshyterian Church, which due to its location picks up less-ambient noise. The idea for the CD stemmed fromi those who have heard the choir in the pana. "For a long time, people have been asking 'why don't you do something,"' said Ms King. "We have a reaily strong musical tra- dition at the church. It's just an outstanding church choir by ail standards and the time seemed right." The CD consista of about 21 popular anthems ofien sung during regular church services. They're meant to be pleasing and gentie to the ear. "It's ail kinds of sacred anthema. It's just a realiy nice CD," said Ms King. "It's for the listener. That's who we made it for." The CD wiii be soid at the church for $20. A cassette is also availabie for $15. Ait proceeds wiii go to the St. Paui's Towarssl 2000 project
