By Maureen Tychoniak With opening night a short four weeks away, the cast and crew of the Rossport Theatre Group are busy with rehearsals eery second evening. The set is near completion and needs only a few finishing touches. The play being produced has a cast of five members, and three of the actors were profiled in a previ- Ous issue. The remaining two members are a husband and wife team, and we'll also learn about the founder of the Rossport Theatre Group. Dr. Jan Raczyki, Toronto born and raised, has just braved his first Northern Ontario winter. He and his wife Roxanne arrived in T'MAs must be on Northe from page 4 While Tourism Management Areas will serve the interests of some, the question is whose inter- ests will be served and whose will be served up? Through the development of TMAs, Northerners are being encouraged to give up access to prime tracts of Crown Land, lakes and wildemess for the limited use of a few tourists. Historically, Ontario's tax paying public has had unrestricted access to all unoccu- pied Crown Land for recreational Purposes. This access must not be denied or controlled for the benefit of a single user or user group. Tourism Management Areas will only be acceptable if structured on Northerners' terms -- terms which will truly benefit the Northern economy.

We have learned through bitter experi- ence that true development requires a sense of true commitment, com- mitment to maximize economic benefit in which short term jobs and prosperity must never again be traded for the devastation and depletion of our natural resources, We want to build a strong eco- nomic future for generations to come, and I can think of no inheri- lance more important to offer our . children than the North itself. I urge you in the strongest possi- ble terms to enlist full public con- | sultation which will offer you a broader information base upon which to make decisions regarding Our resources, Sincerely, Gilles Pouliot,MPP, Lake Nipigon Page 5, News, Wednesday, April 13, 1988 Rossport Theatre Group gearing up for first performance September to set up his first medi- cal practice since completing his internship.
