"We hope that the citizens. of Penetanguishene will come' forward with nominations before that time." A Penetanguishene resi- dent who has competed at the national or the interna- tional level, and who has retired from competition, is eligible to be nominated. "We may make some ex- ceptions"' about the retire- ment specification, Moreau said. The Sports Hall of Fame will be inside Brian Orser Hall. "We will continue to pur- sue the search for nominees,' Moreau said. The committee will need the weeks before the Aug. 28 banquet to screen recommendations, he said. Volunteer firefighters training reinstated Al McLean, M.P.P. for Simcoe East today con- firmed with the principal of Ontario Fire College that weekend courses for volunteer firefighters have been reinstated. Three new instructors will be hired and eleven courses will be offered, starting shortly after June 1. "T am very pleased that the Solicitor General found the funds for these courses," McLean said. "Although I wish he had made his decision earlier, to allow volunteer firefighters more time to plam their summers, it is definitely a move that falls under the category of bet- ter late than never." McLean, who first raised the subject in the Legislature on December 3, 1986, believes that opposi- tion pressure influenced Ken Keyes' decision to fund the courses. But it never should have come to that," McLean said. 'Our volunteer firefighters do an incredible job for us, literally risking their lives on occasion, and they deserve our support.

OPP watching out for ATVs As part of government training initiatives, money has been set aside for com- munities to use for training to meet the specific needs of each area. The means of awarding these funds is through a Community In- dustrial Training Committee. In Midland and Pene- tanguishene, a group of people decided last fall that we should have such a committee serving this need in our community. The Midland-Pene- tanguishene Business and Industrial Training Com- mittee has been formed during the past few months. During frequent meetings, a constitution has been finalized and the planning of _a general meeting is under way. Local business will be invited to this meeting, which will take place at M.S.S. The Committee's first task will be to conduct a needs survey to find out what training is needed. Planning for the survey is just beginning, but all sec- tors should participate as needs will vary with the type of business. The federal government has pledged more than $22° million in training dollars to be channeled to com- munities Canada-wide. The Committee will be responsible for requesting these funds and purchas- ing training. The provin- cial government will pro- vide administration funds for the committees to keep the process going.

Though the first perfor- mance, 'Clam Made A Face' by Young People's Theatre, was actually per- formed in 1979, the group was organized and busy planning their first season as early as 1977/78. That first season was a roaring success, and featured headline companies such as Young People's Theatre, Lampoon Puppettheatre, Danco Co. of Ontario and Sharon, Lois and Bram!

Vacancy remaining After two evenings of discussion on the replace- ment for the vacancy on the Village of Victoria Har- bour Council, a decision has yet to be made by the four councillors. At last Thursday even- ing's session of village council, Reeve Bill Varney announced the council had been unable to come up with a final decision on who to appoint to fill the five member council. Council made the public statement to the audience in an effort to alleviate any questions about why a new councillor, that was to be decided upon last Tuesday, was not sworn in at the meeting as originally announced. "We have not quite made up our minds and have to take another week,"' said Varney. 'We will definite- ly make a decision by the next meeting." The vacancy on the council is the result of the resignation by the village's former deputy-reeve, Catharine MacKenzie, at the end of March. Coun- cillor Bob Moreau is replacing MacKenzie, leav- ing another' council vacancy. This is the second vacan- cy on council in less then seven months. Councillor Bob Atkinson was elected to the village council in a byelection in January. Rosewood reaches out Native worker Eleanor Pratt is taking Rosewood's message of help for bat- tered women into the native community. "The problems of family violence are even more frightneing for native women on the reserves," says Pratt. "They are more isolated, and few are aware that there is support out here for them. I hope it will help them to know that there is a native worker at Rosewood." All native women, not just those living on reserves, are welcome to call Pratt at Rosewood to discuss their situation. "T want to let them know that they're not alone - that they're not the only one this is happening to - and that there is help available through Rosewood,". she says. Pratt is Rosewood's first native worker, hired under the Job Development pro- gram which has provided funding for five new workers at the women's crisis centre. Her training includes courses in counselling and the pro- blems of alcohol abuse. Located in Midland, Rosewood offers emergen- cy shelter for women and their children who are homeless through marital violence or domestic crisis. Now, with the help of the Job Development funding, Rosewood is tackling the special problems of native women with an expanded program of public speak- ing, counselling and referrals. Pratt's program includes visiting six reserves: Chris- tian Island, Rama, Parry Island, Gibson, Moose Deer Point and Henvey In- let, speaking to women about abuse and writing ar- ticles on the subject for the reserves' newsletters. "The people are very receptive to me when I go and talk," she says. She hopes to enlist the support of the chief and council on reserves as well, to spread information about the help available at Rosewood. Rosewood is open day and night. Call 526-4211.
