HEYDENSHORE INCREASES PRICE CAPERS BALL The cost to rent Heydenshore Pavilion for a Satur- day evening has increased from $300 to $330, and bartenders fees.have incréased to $6.50 an hour. This will affect our February 'Capers Ball'. It is hoped with a little juggling, that the cost of the community dance will remain at $10 a couple. However, it has been decided to charge $10 a couple for paid-up members and $12 a couple for non- members. Membership fees are $2 per faiily per year. The Capers Ball is probably the most economical dance of the year. The price is kept down because the members 'do all the work of preparing food, decorations, and the prizes are most generously donated by area businesses. The co-operation of the -members and the businesses within the Corridor Area contributes to the continued success of the dance. Our objective is to contribute to each new park within the Corridor Area, so book early for the Feb. 26 dance at Heydenshore. You make it all worth while. the roadway in front of the buildings, a move which angered East Ward Councillor Joe Drrumm. Drumm said at the time people parked il- legally should be "nailed to a tree", because of the fire dan- ger. Durham gets its own arts camp After being a part of the Scarborough Board of Education's visual arts camp for the past two years, the Durharm Board of Education ap- proved the establish- ment of its own art im- mersion camp for June 9 through 17, 1983. The educational value of this arts project has received much support from students, parents, teachers, principals and administrators. This program has helped to meet.the specific needs of many of Durham's gifted and talented stu- dents in the visual arts. The 1983 program for Durham will be design- ed to accommodate 100 to 120 students from Grade 6 through Grade 13. Students will be selected as in the past by their principals, art teachers and guidance counsellors on the basis of their special interest and demonstrated abili- ties in the visual arts. Students taking part in this immersion art experience will benefit from a concentrated program in. painting, drawing, sculpting, pot- tery, printmaking, dra- matic arts and fibre ar- ts. The project will be conducted in a wilder- ness setting by a com- munity of enthusiastic highly talented instruct- ors. Since creative minds function well when sti- mulated by physical ac- tivity arrangements have been made to in- clude a wide variety of instructional recrea- tional activities such as swimming, canoeing, sailing,, tennis, volley- ball, basketball, ar- chery and outdoor education. Through collaboration with the Ontario Arts Council it is anticipated that professional artists and special guests will add an exciting dimen- sion to the project. The campsite tenta- tively selected is a well- established intèrnation- ally known camp situated in the Minden area on a spring-fed lake. A fee structure similar to -that esta- blished 'for the 1982 carnp will be required by students who. have been recommended by t.eir schools to attend. Frm the positive comments received, the program consultants in the visual arts and the staff who have been in- volved in the past two visual arts camps are confident that this will be a positive life-enrich- ing experience for Durham students.
