McGuinty has been in this area several times since his election in December 1996. His visits include a swing through Huron and Bruce Counties in August when he attended events in Exeter, Goderich, Kincardine and Port Elgin. His upcoming visit is anchored around a Liberal fundraising event Sponsored by the Huron-Bruce and Bruce-Grey Liberal Associations. The event is to take place on Oct. 1 at the Mildmay Recreation Continued from page 1 facility. If Seaforth DHS were closed, the students would go to Central Huron SS, Madill SS or Mitchell DHS. With the closure of Vanastra and Clinton PS, Central Huron would become a JK to OAC school. Tumberry PS pupils would be split between East Wawanosh PS and Wingham PS. Atwood Satellite students would go to Elma PS and Grey Central's catchment area would be realigned. Though this is the recommended option for trustees, Patterson said other ideas might come forward Tuesday night. There were three actions trustees ;mild take after considering the options, said Patterson. They could request more time to look over the naterial, with a special meeting to 3e held in a few days. They could ;end the information back to the committee to develop another option or the recommendation zould be accepted. Patterson said trustees could ask ;or such things as having no sec- lndary schools closed or_elemen- ary pupils not moved into secondary-, §drool facilities. Patterson also reiterated that the -losures are not the board's idea, itt are acting on direction from the .rovince. "If we don't, the board will not be given enough money to seat the schools, clean them or maintain them." Hesaid this was a difficult time 'or the boards as they are having to leal with amalgamation, relocating ,dministration to a centralized site, he new Ontario curriculum, collec- ive agreements and secondary -chool reform.

Nomination meetings in both ridings arc expected to take place early in 1999. Information about the evening is available from the following people: Ross Lamont, Port Elgin, 832-5162; Karen Lowe, Kincar- dihc, 396-1266; Marjorie Davison, Meaford, 538-5308; Joe Hogan, Exeter, 235-2853.

In choosing an option which exceeds the required space elimina- tion, Patterson said this gives trustees more flexibility. If there is a problem, a school could be removed and still result in an option meeting the government cri- teria. However, -Patterson said the board is still unsure exactly what that criteria is or the actual square footage needing to be eliminated. In.determining options for elimi- nating excess space, a report for the AMDSB outlines several issues taken into consideration. With 86 per cent of elementary schools and 96 per cent of sec- ondary schools more than 20 years old, the condition and cost to main- tain and repair the structures was included. Under the new funding model, the board will only receive 46 per cent of what is now being spent for maintenance. Increased travel times were also considered as much of the district is rural. In creating the list, four premises were used. The committee tried to affect the least number of schools to minimize relocation, minimize travel time while reflecting natural boundaries and eliminate buildings with construction or facility defi- ciencies. As secondary schools have better infrastructures, it was decided to utilize that space to the fullest potential. A full analysis to- the listed sites it still to be undertaken to look at academic, transportation, capital -and operating costs, financial impact and human resources- con- cerns. Two other options put forward for trustee consideration would see the elimination of 306,817 sq. ft. in option A and 265,460 in option B. rie Paton as Sally Bowles. Paton has a winning charm as an actress and a soaring voice. that would fill the theatre even without the per- formers being amplified. Bruce Davies as Cliff is an appealingly ordinary guy among the larger- than-life personalities around him. Nicola Lipman, who appeared at Blyth Festival in the 1980s in Another Season's Promise, is both funny and moving as Fraulein Schneider, who can't put aside the fear of the Nazi threat to find hap- piness with Herr Schultz, her Jew- ish roomer. Richard Hurst as Schultz has a fine singing voice to go with a con- vincing tenderness as the fruit mer- chant who thinks he has found happiness until the outside world intervenes.

When they reprise the song in act two, the hope of the song has turned to sadness as their chance of happiness evaporates. • It's the kind of twist that makes Cabaret much more than just an entertaining night out. Unfortunately the excellent cast .was hampered by technical difficul- ties on the Saturday matinee. The performers' voices arc amplified but too often it's like watching peo- ple lip-sync to the radio and at times the microphones cut out leav- ing the actors on their own.. Still it's a provocative and memorable production of Cabaret which is on display at the Grand until Oct. 10. PAGE 28. THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1998.
