villages in new brunswick and senegal africa as part of the canada world youth exchange program its going to be a wonderful experience the goodwood resi dent said in an interview last week its an experience i will remember for the rest of my life canada world youth is a non- profit organization funded by the canadian international develop ment agency which arranges ex changes between canada

prepared to do whatever the community decides has to be done the bright and enthusiastic korinek explained you have to be very flexible and adaptable to the situation youre placed in some past exchange students have helped local residents with a number of community projects most involving physical labor korinek said since 1971 over 7000 youths from 36 countries have par ticipated in the program to be selected a candidate must pass a rigorous set of tests both mental and physical to see if theyre fit to take part in the exchange the selection process has two objectives to root out the best candidates and to ensure that the exchange teams actually repre sent the canadian identity its a process that is both challenging and intense korinek said they do everything she add ed joking about the thorough medical examination all can didates must pass on evaluation day you take part in discussions and games that indicate how you react to situations they want people who show initiative people who are doers this is the second year in a row that korinek has applied for the program she decided to join after seeing a former exchange students slide show at her high school two years ago last year korinek requested a placement in the far east but after passing all the tests she was only selected as a backup candidate but this year her dream of helping in a third world country is finally coming true i know people who have ap plied for three years in a row before they finally get in she said i was kind of surprised this year when i was accepted currently korinek is looking for sponsors to help her raise the 300 minimum she must have to help finance her journey and shes trying to convince her parents and friends that the next six months will be an in credible life experience and not a terrifying mistake of course theyre worried she said but i think theyre her parents happy im pursu ing what i want to pursue for now i want to get more empirical knowledge v xt mjmk d pmmt

blvd and hwy 48 has met with opposition from a neighboring property owner according to town planner michael saunders local chiropractor dr john bare has asked for an amendment to general zoning bylaws in order to change his propertys present rural residential zoning to local commercial d he explained the letter designation signified council would not allow development on the site until the d was removed one condition for removal would be the installation of a piped water system in the community of ballantrae and while it was pointed out bares proposed uses for the building include a medical clinic pharmacy optical clinic and professional of fices all services unique to the area angelo san georgio one of several investors in the adjacent ballantrae plaza is opposed weve owned this plaza for five or six years now and during that time weve had considerable problems keeping our 8000 square feet rented he said during a public meeting last tuesday evening i can definitely see an additional 10000 square feet next door having a negative impact on the value of our property san georgio felt with the amount of residential development in the area there wasnt enough demand for another commercial development terry kelly land use planner and representative for bare disagreed the application is for a comprehensive medical clinic an xray lab dentist optometrist and chiropractor next door consists of an animal hospital hairdresser dry cleaner and convenience store he said our proposal in no way would take away from those uses it is no doubt my feeling this will not have a negative impact on a plaza with completely different uses continued kelly in fact i think it will complement it although reminded the public meeting was for information pur poses only and he was not to show bias councillor ron robb ap peared to favor the application i certainly feel if and when a water supply goes in this structure will be an asset to the community i think the people of ballantrae will be very happy plkxoricx maoonk don green 15 practices bmx bicycle gyrations saturday afternoon beside the stouffville tennis courts earn extra money become a carrier today call 2048244
