Waterloo Chronicle office is located on 2nd floor of Watariod Square‘s Office Tower Enter via the mail entrance beside the Longhorn Restsurant (directiy opposite the card shop} or from the elevator foyer beside the Tâ€"D Bank Take the elevator to the 2nd floor and you are there "If at first you don‘t succeed, try, try again.", That motto has been drilled into many of us since we were children. But it is much easier believed than achieved. Two Waterloo athletes provided us this week with a superb illustration of what dedication and determination really mean. After many years of gruelling training and sacrifice, Wayne Erdman and Rainer Fischer have achieved their lifeâ€"long ambitions. They have been selected to represent Canada in the light middleweight and middleweight judo divisions at the Summer Olympics in Montreal. 6 Athletes are _ models of _ determination The road to the Olympics has not been an easy path to follow for either athlete. But they have trod it with dogged determination. _ Representing Canada in Olympic competition is a special experience for any athlete. But for Rainer Fischer, Olympic competition has asâ€" sumed an extra special significance. Fischer came agonizingly close to Olympic competition in 1972. He was chosen for the 1972 Olympic judo team but was later bumped off the squad through the successful appeal of a team mate. Now he has fihflly gained a chance to show what he can do in Olympic competition. _ O_ â€" _ The Chronicle j6ins all Waterloo residents in wishing Erdman and Fischer the best of luck at the Olympics. â€" Waterloo Chronicle, Wedrnesday, May 12, 1976 : ~~~ _ _‘ This month‘s exhibition at the Kitchenerâ€"Waterâ€" loo Art Gallery, the fourth annual juried show ARTFORMS, is rather~a disappointment. It is difâ€" ficult to tell whether it is a case of poor selection on the part of the judges or one of ineptitude on the part of the participating artists. Except for a very few pieces, one has the feelâ€" ing of ‘"so what else is new." It seems as if the judges approved nothing but accepted art school styles currently in vogue. or imitations of New York painting of fifteen years ago, and tired imiâ€" tations at that. Local artists whose work is familiar to us had nothing new to offer this year. It would be interestâ€" ing to see the art that was rejected, for this show does not seem representative of the eight counties involved. Worth mentioning are Peter Dicks® "Frog in Lfi Round®, a fresh view of nature in microcosm. Ru Tye McKenzie‘s sensitive etching ‘"October Field~, and Ed Schleimer‘s "Amalgam . an exploration of the tactile possibilities of acrylics. By way of contrast the exhibit of art from the public schools in the Cycle gallery is a delight to see. for its color, variety and exuberance. These children could teach their adult counterparts a lesson they have either forgotten or never knew. .. how to look at the world. The high school art show at the U of W Gallery in the Modern Languages Building is a competent, colorful show, and again, the high school students have surpassed the local artists in creativity and execution. considering their youth. Outstanding is a red and blue serigraph by Damir Frkovic which appears in both ARTFORMS and the high school show. While it is too close to the work of Vasarely to be called truly original, its eyeâ€"catching optical illusion, finely executed, stands out in both shows. The work produced by students in this area from kindergarten through high school is a hopeful sign for the artistic future of the Kâ€"W community. * address correspondence to Waterioo office : Waterioo Square.

Boiand Waterioo Record Ltd., owner. By Ed Good MPP Waterloo North Although there was no agreement among the first Ministers of the Provinces and the Federal Government regarding future pricing policies of oil, I would like to put forward the proposals of the Ontario Liberal Caucus. We feel the Ontario government policy would not ensure adequate energy supplies for Onâ€" tario, nor does it recognize that Canadian oil supplies will probably be depleted within a decâ€" ade, at which time we shall have to pay world prices. ~ The Ontario government proposal ignores the urgent need to encourage energy conserâ€" vation, develop renewable energy sources or prepare our industries for the advent of world prices. The producing provinces oil revenues should not be further increased, Alberta is not a member of OPEC yet its Conservative govâ€" ernent has amassed windfall gains far beyond any reasonable expectations. Alberta‘s personal income tax and gasoline tax are already the lowest in Canada. The province is without*sales tax or succession duties, or residential property tax for education purposes. In addition they have amassed a multiâ€"million dollar Heritage Fund for asâ€"yetâ€" unspecified use. Despite Mr. Timbrell‘s claim, as Ontario‘s Energy Minister, that the need of the oil proâ€" ducing Provinces must be recognized, we are unwilling. to pay them any more. We agree with Mr.. Timbrell that the oil industry should be guaranteed a fair price for new oil disâ€" coveries in order to motivate exploration, but we believe that the cash flow requirements to finance exploration should be met in the traâ€" ditional manner. The Liberal Party opposes any increase in wellâ€"head oil prices, because the producing provinces and the oil industry will each reâ€" ceive a portion of such an increase. It is unâ€" fortunately necessary, during the near to medâ€" ium future to increase the revenue from doâ€" mestic oil sold in Canada for the following reasons: â€" additional funds will be required to rationalize the price of oil across Canada, in the light of offâ€"shore oil requirements for Eastern Ontario, Quebec and the Maritimes. This amount has been estimated at $2.3 billion over the next three years. â€" funds are required to guarantee our future energy supplies â€" whether of fossil fuels, nuâ€" Liberal Party Line to motivate exploration by the oil industry. We feel consumer prices should increase graduâ€" ally in the comming years, in order to avoid a painful adjustment when domestic supply is depleted. ‘ § clear or renewable energy sources. _ We therefore propose no increase in wellâ€"head oil prices at this time. We would guarantee a higher price for new oil discoveries in order All of the proceeds from future oil price inâ€" creases should be allocated first, to the equalizaâ€" tion fund that maintains a uniform Canadian oil price, and the balance to a newlyâ€"established Federalâ€"Provincial agency whose mandate is to guarantee Canadian energy supplies. <ol This agency would. make the energy inâ€" vestment decisions which have previously been reserved for the oil companies. Its Board would determine investment priorities among the full range of energy supply options, including oil exploration, research and development of reâ€" newable energy sources, provision for nuâ€" clear energy, energy conservation and coal gasification. In most cases these options would Ringette be implemented through partnership agreeâ€" meénts with private industry. _ In short, this agency would act as an energy Ombudsman for Canadians.
