Presently, all marina facilities are operating close to maximum capacity and maintain waitlists. To determine if additional harbour capacity is required within the next five to 20 years, this study is examining: changing demographics of the area; impacts of changes on demand for recreational boating; sources and location of demand; current pricing strategies; economic, social, and recreational trends, and; trends in boating types and berth requirements. We want to hear from you! At this public open house, you will have the opportunity to learn about the study including its research and findings and next steps. The open house will begin with a presentation, followed by an opportunity for you to provide feedback on what you have seen and experienced and also to ask questions of staff and the consultants. If you are unable to attend the open house in person, you may submit questions or comments at any time to: Study contacts: Town of Oakville Chris Mark Director Parks and Open Space Town of Oakville 1225 Trafalgar Road Oakville, ON L6H 0H3 905-845-6601, ext. 3111 cmark@oakville.ca City of Burlington Doug Pladsen Recreation Planner City of Burlington 426 Brant Street Burlington, ON L7R 3A7 905-335-7738 ext. 7627 doug.pladsen@burlington.ca Halton Region Stirling Todd Senior Planner Halton Region 1151 Bronte Road Oakville, ON L6M 3L1 905-825-6000 ext. 7186 stirling.todd@halton.ca Comments are collected under the authority of the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act for the purpose of public consultation andwill become part of the public record.

Featuring the early music of Elvis Pre- sley, the plot centered around 'roustabout' Chad (Ryan Gauvin) who rode into town on his motorcycle, and in a short time, his anti-establishment attitude had trans- formed the ultra-conservative townspeo- ple into a 'hip' group. The show has some great musical mo- ments, grinding out great Elvis tunes. Al- though opening number Jailhouse Rock was a slight disappointment, the show was back on track with a gutsy rendition of Heartbreak Hotel, with Jenn Johnson belting out the opening stanza. A fabulous medley of Teddy Bear/Noth- in' but a Hound Dog featured a great in- tertwining of lyrics from both songs, with perfect timing that made it rock. Many other Elvis tunes were equally entertain- ing throughout the show. Ryan Gauvin as Chad gave a solid per- formance but tended to over-act from time to time, a problem that could well be a result of opening night adjustments. Globe veteran Cheyenne Stodolny totally shone his love interest Natalie, with a fabu- lous stage presence and outstanding vocals. Paul Stodolny was equally strong as the geeky Dennis, who continually pined after Natalie. Elizabeth Bell (playing the rough, tough and ready Sylvia,) and Rob Wood- stock (as Natalie's father Jim) were well matched opposite each other. Bobbie Flatt gave a solid performance as the no-nonsense Mayor Matilda, with the hapless Sheriff Earl (Reid Mowat) permanently attached to her hip, result- ing in lots of comic relief. Adam Dolson (playing the mayor's son) and Jamie Nelson (as Sylvia's daugh- ter Lorraine) played well opposite each other, as a pair of star-crossed lovers. Erin Hyde, as the standoffish muse- um curator Sandra, showed great stage presence, as well as strong vocals when she took the lead. The show featured some good sets, with on the fly changes, complemented by effective lighting and visually exciting costumes. Ambitious props like a big bus wheeling onstage added nice finishing touches to the show. All Shook Up is a solid show, and pro- vides a good evening of entertainment- but having said that, when one features a night of Elvis tunes, it's pretty hard to not have a winner. The show continues this week. Review: All Shook Up is good fun By TED BROWN Staff Writer
