cooking family life and film making and schools seeing to the childs emotional needs when it means the time being put into meaningful activities is decreasing PORNUGRAIIIS Family life courses are in some cases just euphemism for pornography The children must know all there is to know about sex although theyre not expected to know all there is to know about math or spelling Siltttillllllttltti Schools should dcvclop the innate potential of cacti in dividual student Instead students are being led into dead end courses by so nieonc playing God The cm phasis is on fun and games with no

Rowe has told me on more than one occasion that do have vote on stan ding committees and should exercise it but havent got the committee chairmen to rec ognize that yet She said after the program Mr

Mayor Dorian Parker says she has it in black and white the city cant give AHOP grants to individual homebuyers But Ald Ross Archer who is opposing the mayor in the Dec municipal election says he isnt convinced The mayor appearing Wed nesday on Cable phonein program displayed letter from provincial housing minister John Rhodes stating the $1000per unit grants under the federal Assisted Home Ownership Program AHOP must be used for housing pro duction not for housing pur chases The letter said the funds could be used for hard services for hiring staff to administer the program or for municipal land acquistiion for housing projects However the minister said grants to homebuyers would fall under the heading of help with purchasing rather than help with production That tells me the money cannot be used to help young people purchase homes the mayor said Ald Archer said earlier this month the city could give the money to firsttime home buyers This morning Ald Archer said he had not seen Mr Rhodes letter or talked to pro vincialofficials aboutit My understanding was that the legislation doesnt preclude using the grant for that purpose aid to homebuyerst he said Ill have to check further into it He said his previous informa tion was from federal sources and he is not certain how Mr Rhodes and the provincial hous ing ministry fit into federal program Under AHOP Central Mor tgage and Housing Corp pro vides variety of assistance to honiebuyers developers and municipalities to improve ac cess to housing The $10X grant in question is federal money administered by the province under the Mu nicipal Incentive Grant Pro gram and paid to municipal ities for each housing unit built under AHOP Court hears two versions of beating from defendants County court jury heard two versions of beating inci dent Wednesday Keith Goerke and Ron Bielec both of Orillia testified in their own defence They are jointly charged with assaulting Stan Dubowik 57 of Orillia and causing him bodily harm Goerke told the jury he and Bielec and two women had picked up Dubowik Dec about pm He said they drove to the Brechin area when Bielec began hitting Dubowik Goerke said he tried to stop Bielec and eventually they took Dubowik out of the car and left him by the roadside to prevent fur ther assault Bielec said that he had tried to protect Dubowik from Goerke and that it had been Goerkes idea to beat up the man and take any money he might have He said he didnt think Goerke was too serious about robbing the man but he tried to prevent Goerke from pulling Dubowik out of the car ILROWIKS TESTIMONY Dubowik had earlier testified that both men and one of the women had beaten him After he was left in the ditch he had walked to nearby house and calledthe police Bielec said that after he and Goerke were arrested and in the Barrie Jail Goerke had asked him to take the rap7 He said that Goerke had asked him this because he Goerke had criminal record And Goerke had also siad that Bielec would find the cards stacked against him when witnessess testified in court Goerkes story is similar to that of Darlene Bylow one of the women in the car She testified that Goerke had tried to stop Bielec from hitting Dubowik and that he had removed the man from the car for his own safety Miss Bylow later went to the police because she feared Dubowik had died The trial continues today before Judge Couture Lack of Spanish natives hurt Opening performance By MLRIEL LEEPER Last year the Barrie Concert Association opened its season with the Shevchenko Dancers This year it was The Paula Moreno Spanish Dance Com pany Both dance companies had certain excitement color and verve but there was one impor tant difference All singers dancers and musicians of the Shevchenko Ensemble were Ukrainian This fact gave an air of authen ticity to the program and an ethnic flavor that could not be disputed The Spanish Dance Com pany however had in their company only two dancers who were apparently Spanish had no resume on the company Paula Moreno herself seems evidently Spanish and Max imiliano the only male dancer also is apparently Spanish So that althou Moreno and Maximiliano ha the irit of Spain evident in their solute rhythms an essence so hard to define the company as whole lacked the fluidity and inherent grace the natural relaxation of the Spanish dancer One presupposes beautiful Spanish women and men when one thinks of Spanish Dance Company certain lithe beau ty The dancers Wednesday night at the Georgian Theatre program were quite expert technically They handled the castanets quite well too It was the ease and naturalness of dance movements that was lacking and the fluid flutter of the castanets achieved only by Miss Moreno herself Paula Moreno originator of the company and member of the Faculty of Fine Arts Pro gram at York University has tremendous creative ability Her show has splendid variety She solos her dancers display ing their separate versatility Costumes too were stylish varied and colorful Although there was certain lack of polish or professionalism this may come through further tour ingand erformances Davi Phillips played the guitar in the true Spanish spirit Flamenco and classical he followed the rhythms of the dancers This was difficult because Spanish rhythms so often offbeat are complex But Morenos choregraphy was exciting and authentic in flavor winding up the program with stunning suite of four DOROTEA LA CHINA per forms an 18th century dance at performance of the Paula Moreno Spanish Dance Company at Georgian Col lege Theatre Wednesday dances called Cuadro Flamen co With intricate clapping by the company emphasizing the Flamenco music by the gui tarist the dancers soloed and danced as com iiy drawing the auience unti they seemed involved in the whole scene One of the highlights of the program was an 18th century dance by Dorotea La China The Chinese dancer is ex ceedingly pretty with the soul of ballet dancer Her dance was enchanting and over too soon It night The show generally exciting says critic Muriel Leeper fell short of what it might have been Examiner Photot The one male dancer Max imiliano was an essential part of the program He had the ex pecte haughty air of the Spanish dancer and was capable of the intricate rhythms But with this he created the long climax of ex citement that the male virtuoso must contribute to such pro gram Many times he added highlight to the group dancing Regional folk styles of Spain were fascinating Traditional dress and style were obviously authentic
