pae 26, Whltby Frée Prbss, Wedesday, AonI 27,'1094, Ard-inn ude rs "just love to sing" By Erin O'Connor Some people like t. do things simply for the joy cf it. That'. especiallv true in the. case of the Guider.' Choir «in Brooklin, which consistR cf about 20 leaders and volunteers from gLiding. Both pastimes -- guiding and 'ëinging in the. choir -- are violun- teer positions, whose rewards are the knowied&oeeof a job weli don.. The. Guidera' Choir was formed five year aeo in 1989 by a group? cf wornen whýo loved t. sing, ana were aise devoted t. guichng. Their first year, the choir entered the «Sing Ontario Sine' competition and finished first. Ini each of the followin$ two years, the. choir earned two honourable mentions, and in 1993, received another fIrst. The junior choir, consisting of guides, was first last year for their performance. The. choirs, both under the direction of Patti Scott, have been successful right from the start. "We just love t. sing,lesays Scott, and credits that te t he choes success. The choires reperteire includes guiding and international songs. 'There are many wornen and girls who travel, says Scott, 'andwhenthey find songe thy lik., they bring th.m bac k wih them, and we learn them together." Scott, a private piano teacher and vocal leader for the Brooklin United Church junior choir, "enjoys the.'vocal part very much." In addition to competition, the choir ha. aIse sun g at functions such as the. Brocklin Kinsmen Senior Citizen.' Christmas Party, Guiders' lTraining Day, and two Thinking Day cere- monies at Brooklin United Church and St. Mark'. United Church in Whitby. Although the choir won't com- pet. this year, they are still available t. sing at functions. Anyone interested is asiked t. calî Maureen Jackson at '655- 4469.

W. are the oniy goverinment that bas the fut. to, deai with the problem, yet we will still get biamed for alte ii.. Ib. five-point pakae for reform'inclûdes a new board of directors, with changed ladership at the WCB. There will b. a songer emp hason rehabilitating injured workers and getting k to work quickly and safeiy. Cost-saving.measures will b. întroduced to change pension indeing and government-direct-ed targets for the new board of directors. There will b. special indexing protection at full CPI for the most vuinerabie injured workers and an additional $200 on the pensions of older injured workers who receive or have received benefit supplements. Finally, a Royal Commission will look at the future of Ontario's workers' compensation system.. I don't know if ail of this wrili help us with our workload of WCB cases. Speaking for my staff who bear the brunt, w. sincerely hope go.
