Questions spending for tennis courts “Tennis courts are ex- ensive and used by very ew people. Has any survey een made to establish how any people want to play ennis?” asked a Roosevelt rive ratepayer during the uestion period preceding he February 17 meeting of ichmond Hill Council. He said he was referring o a proposal to build tennis courts in Pearson Park in uth Thornhill. Mayor David Schiller answered he didn‘t have any statistics but would secure them for the questioner. He went on to report existing ltennis facilities in the Town and Crosby Parks are heavily used on weekends and evenings during the summer.

Unfortunately the midgets and juniors lost, but with super effort in both parts. Councillor Andy Chateauvert, “because of the number of enthusiasts wanting to play. I don’t think there is any doubt the need is there." “There may be only 600 or so tennis players out of our 35,000 population, but we have an obligation to provide facilities, just as we This was a very trium- phant week for Bayview, the school winning the York County Wrestling Tour- nament.

Building heights Len Pugh, owner of property in the central core which will be affected by the height restriction bylaw which was given first reading Monday night, took advantage of the question period to tell council he would not object to the height if it can be made to function. “The existing tennis club makes a contribution to the municipality,” answered the mayor. “It appears anybody can ask for something and get it," concluded the ratepayer. “If not you will continue to have what you have now or worse â€"- a cut rate corridor,” he said. But there would have to be some relief through parking requirements or through setback requirements. “We are happy to hear you're not fighting the height restriction," com- mented the mayor. “Council is willing to listen to what you havé to say especially Paul Jarvie (as usual) and Trent McCabe, whom we’re glad to have back. At least we have Dave Golding shouting until his voice goes hoarse, back in the corner of the gym. To top the week off, we had the Greaseball Boogie Band and Ian Thomas, Saturday night, which turned out to be a super dance. Quantity, but no quality One thing I must say about Thornlea, they had a great quantity of spectators, but little quality. One of the Thornlea spectators pulled the stage curtains across on our school band. The musicians were in the middle of a piece, at half time. There were over 900 people, having a great time!

All profits from the evening will be used for the support of the King City Day Nursery School. A day camp for children (Camp Robin Hood) now operating on the site of the proposed Pickering Airport wants to relocate in Rich- mond Hill. The owner has acquired for the purpose a 45-acre site on the east side of‘ Leslie Street just north of Haynes Lake, east of Lake Wilcox. There has been an ap- plication to Richmond Hill Council‘s Planning Com- mitte‘e for an amendment to zoning Bylaw 2083 to permit this use in a “rural” zone. Solicitor Robert Sachter, appearing for the owner, said Camp Robin Hood is the oldest privately run non- denominational day camp in the area, having been established in 19464 He assured the committee the camp is a long-term proposition, that the owner, a Mr. Bell, is not a developer and is not speculating, but is a teacher in Metro Toronto. The camp will operate five days a week from 9:30 to 4:30 and the children will be bused in. There will be some overnight camping as part of the campers’ ex~ perience. The plans are to keep the camping activities to the rear of the property so the operation will not be ofâ€" fensive to the neighbors on the front and in order to take advantage of an existing pond. Under canvas He said a house and barn are on the property. His client will be moving in some portable schoolroom type buildings. But the camp stresses living under canvas for the 500-600 children served each summer. He also pointed out there are other recreational ac- tivities in the area, such as a riding stable and a skeet- shooting club. auuuuub say-u. . -_e- The application ' was “in g'irls‘~(iolleyball, don Head’s team took the best two received and the planning games out of three against Sutton same as junior and senior staff directed to prepare a volleyball teams. report for consideration by For the girls table tennis Janis Simpson was over-all the committee. winner and for the boys it was Norm Landry.

AND SATURDAY, MARCH 8th Register » at the Richmond Hill Hockey Arena SATURDAY, MARCH lst A Surfeit of Simon for now at Curtain Club By Tom Davey Neil Simon's The Gingerbread Lady has many of the ingredients of successful theatre. The dialogue is brilliant, the acting superb and the sets and lighting are effective. But somehow the play lacks the warmth of Neil Simon’s other Broadway successes. Pat Kantaroff is first rate as the rumpled alcoholic who tosses off profound remarks as casually as she knocks back a drink. Her timing and rueful ex- pression quickly and repeatedly draw laughter from the audience as she frankly reveals her need for drink and sex. Her daughter, played by Kathryn Amos, is obviously a junior edition of the mother when it comes to a faculty for wit. That some of the scenes fail is the fault of the playwright, not the actors. After a protracted row where words are used like Karate chops', mother and daughter embrace and forgive each other. To me it was more like combatants regrouping for a further battle. Sure enough, the next row is not long in coming and some of the bad language' is repetitious to the point where it becomes offensive. One wonders why a man as skilled in dialogue as Simon finds it necessary to split open perfectly good sentences and insert rather banal vulgarities. But he does, time and time again. A pity really, for some of the ripostes are brilliant, especially the sallies of Pat Kantaroff. Clive Ryland plays the harassed homosexual actor convincingly. He quickly arouses our sympathy as his career hopes rise and fall while he is caught between the other tensions of an alcoholic and her daughter. Skillfully, he avoids the cheap laughs inherent in homosexual situations by manipulating the comedy so we are aware 'of his com~ passion as well as his af~ fliction. Yvette Steel plays the difficult role of Toby Lan- dau, a woman approaching middle age, yet obsessed with her beauty. Her friend is fighting for her life but she is worried about facial wrinklesâ€"that is until troubles visit her too. While the human wreckage from serious problems litters the stage, she is more preoccupied with her make-up. It’s an unsympathetic part. Only then does emotion well to the surface as she 'fhe curriculum was set up by physical education teachers, Mrs. Moorby, Mrs. Moorby, Mr. Taylor, Mr. Conner and Mrs. Legget: A _ r ‘ ,AJ » By Paul Brown It was all round wins across the boards for D0n Head this month as they played host to Sutton High on sports activity day.

Then the vanity gives way to maturity, a transition skillfully handled by the actress. Phil Skinner has a brief, but very powerful scene as the lover of the alcbholic who realizes she ‘releases creative forces Within him. But with the mutual at- traction comes a capacity to damage each otherâ€"but every time they meet. Clayton Warner has a cameo role as a Chicano messenger which is handled with a cheerful confidence and an authentic accent. Meanwhile the domestic battles go on. And on. And on. And though the dialogue is repeatedly funny and the barbs penetratineg deep, its not unlike being present at a marathon family row. The mother and daughter ma be in each others arms rig t now. But we know very well they’ll be at each others throats in five minutes. Our predicitions are invariably right. Worse still, no relief is in sight. We know she isn’t going to reform and we suspect she is too strong for suicide, so where will it all end? Well it doesn’t. Playwright Simon simply chops it off after the third act. We say farewell to the happy players this way. The alcoholic mother is tearfully being dragged to meet her ex husband by their daughter. She has a black eye from her lover and she has gone back on the bottle. It‘s that sort of a play. Persona-11y; I think The Curtain Club has had a surfeit of Simon for now.
