Wooden sculptures by Ralph Price at Memorial Library Dr. Ralph Price of Manches- ter is the latest artist to show his creations at the Scugog Me- morial Public Library Gallery. His show entitled "Primarily Wooden Sculptures" has a strong Keltic feel to it, Dr. Price told the Port Perry Star. Dr. Price, who began creating ecclesiastcal art about two years ago, has made himself quite a reputation in the art world. In an interview with the Star last year, Dr. Price said he was inspired one day when he was rototilling his garden and un- earthed a uniquely shaped root. He left the root, which looked like the Sorpue or the body of Christ, on a fence. Then one day when 'shingling his roof, he broke a piece of cedar shingle i in halfand formeditinto a cross. After painting the cross a bright blue and the root yellow, DURHA REGION 1992. he joined the two objects togeth- er. He said it is hard to find ap- propriately shaped wood for his creations and uses primarily "found wood" in his pieces. He tends to use lots of roots. His work is primitive, consis- iting of painted wood on a metal stand, he said. Last year Dr. Price entered two of his pieces in a juried show in Stouffville and of 150 entries, both his crosses were chosen. This win attracted attention from Mira Godard of Mira God- ard Gallery in Hazelton Lanes. Dr. Price was chosen to open the new season at her gallery And recently, Price was chosen to do a one-man show at the Robert McLaughlin Gallery in 1993. Dr. Price's work can be seen at Scugog Memorial Public Li- brary until May 29.

Commissioner of Works Youth exchange program twins Durham with Manitoba region By Marnie Luke Port Perry Star Durham Region has been 'twinned' with the riding of Dauphin-Swan River in Mani- toba, as part of the new Voya- geurs youth exchange program. Approximately 125 Durham youths between the ages of 16 and 21 will each be spending a week in the southern Manitoba community between June and November, 1992. The same number of partici- pants from Manitoba will be visiting Durham Region over the next six months. Members of Parliament 'twin' each of the 295 Canadian rid- ings with one and other, and 125 youths from each riding spend a week in their 'twinned' location. Dauphin-Swan Riveris an ag- ricultural and logging area, fea- turing 12 Indian Reserves. The riding is considerably larger than Durham Region. Participants will be billeting with local families, but will be participating in some group ac- tivities with other Voyageurs members from Durham. Although there is no set itin- erary for the week stay, the youths are expected to see much of their host riding. "We're hoping that hosting parents and participants will take the Voyageurs around and show them the highlights of the communities," said Ray New- ton, chairman of the Local Or- ganizing Committee. Mr. Newton said that among the plans for the participants coming to Durham Region in- clude a visit to General Motors, an outing to Durham MP Ross Stevenson's farm, and possibly a day trip into Toronto. This is the first year for the program, and although the ap- pl ication deadline was set for ay 8, it has been extended. "It got off to a slow start in the initial stages, but now that the applications are out, we're ask- ing people to get them in as soon as possible," Mr. Newton said. The committee currently has about 20 participants sched- uled to go to Manitoba in June. Mr. Newton said many people are reluctant to apply because they have summer jobs, but noted that many exchanges take place from September to November. Travel costs are paid for by Air Canada. Air Canada said that most of the vacant seats for the' pro- gram are available in the fall. Successful applicants will be announced on May 15, 1992. Anyone wishing to obtain more information about the Voyageurs program should con- tact Durham MP Ross Steven- son at 571-5430.
