Oshawa Ski Club Marks Fiftieth Anniversary Winter's Harvest '87 Opens Jan 25th "Winter's Harvest 1987", the Third Annual Juried Exhibition of Crafts, sponsored by the Visual Arts Centre, opens officially at 2:00 p.m., Sunday, January 25, 1987. The exhibit continues until February 8, from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. daily. The Visual Arts Centre, (416) 623-5831, is in the old Cream of Barley Mill, at 143 Simpson Avenue, Bowmanville. The juror for the exhibition will be Ankaret Dean. Mrs. Dean is widely recognized as a fibre artist and teacher, and is well known to many for her column, "Crafts", which appeared for a number of years in The Toronto Star. Awards will be presented in each of the six categories: clay, glass, metal, fibre, leather and wood. Special awards include the Best in Show Award, and the Design Award sponsored by > the Ontario Crafts Council. Honorary mentions will also be chosen by the juror. This year, the title might as well be "Winter's Harvest 1887 - 1987". As a complement to the exhibit of crafts, there will be a representative display of antique quilts. The quilt exhibition is presented with the kind assistance of the Bowmanville Museum, and its curator, Mr. Daniel Hoffman. One interesting quilt on display marks the Jubilee of Queen Victoria in 1887. This quilt was donated to the museum by the family of Mrs. Ruby Garvock, well-know quilter and proprietor of "Grandma's Quilted Cupbord", Oshawa. Mrs. Janet Coates, the convener/curator for the show, has a particular interest in the influences of North Country quiltery from County Durham, England on Ontario quilts. Many of the most familiar quilting designs used in North America, e.g. feathers, hearts, leaves, have direct links with traditional patterns from England and Wales. One of the quilts on display is a good example of a Durham "strippy" quilt, with the emphasis on the quilting rather than the piecing. Other antique quilts on display show trans-Atlantic influences on quiltery and patchery in Ontario, including the English-piecing method. The dual nature of the third exhibition is an extension of the.original intent of the show. The title "Winter's Harvest" was chosen with reference to the historical tradition in Ontario of working on quilts and other crafts during the long winters. Visitors to this show will be able to view both historical and current examples of outstanding works of craft. This exhibition will be of interest to collectors of contemporary crafts as well as those who collect antique quilts. Information will be available for quilt collectors on preservation and mounting of quilts, while many of the works in the juried exhibition of crafts will be available for purchase by collectors. For further, information, please contact Mrs. Janet Coates at (416) 728-9793, or the Visual Arts Centre, at (416) 623-5831.

Of special interest to the watchers in this area of Country Canada was the documentary about Tetamagouche, Nova Scotia. It January 2,1987 This I've copied only in part from an editorial December 2 by the Rev. Dr. Frank McClelland of Toronto Free Presbyterian Church. It's heading is A Sad Day for Ontario. On that date the Provincial Legislature approved an amendment by a vote of 64 to 45 to put "sexual orientation" into the Ontario Human Rights Code. We are told that this was to prevent discrimination , regarding employment and housing etc. for homosexuals. In reality it enshrines immoral behaviour in the Human Rights Code, grants special claims to these sodomites. Bill 7 is therefore going BEYOND the provisions of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. It should be noticed that the particular areas mentioned have to do with unchangeable status and not BEHAVIOUR. •; . . .. John Knott ,.i i' ...
