Skiing Is Great Sport on Bethany Hius 14, 1976 Section Two From the wide range of ages observed recently at Bethany Ski Club, it would appear that this is a sport in which almost everyone can participate with considerable satisfaction and enjoyment. These photos show some of the activity in the region shortly after Christmas. By now, much more snow has probably fallen to make the hills even better.

MODEL PLANE BUILD- ING: Right from the start it should be emphasized that this course is for enthusiasts who are interested in buildin models from 'scratch' wit balsa wood, not using pre-fab kits as many people might assume. The instuctor for the course is Austin Stephens who is a self-taught modef airplane enthusiast. He has won several prizes at the Canadian National Exhibition for his work, and his hobby has been publicized in the Statesman, Oshawa This Week and the Goodyear Clan. Mr. Stephens explainedi that bis course involves working with 12 different categories of model planes including ine aircraf and three gliders. He pointed out that he gets 50 per cent of his plans from kits and the rest from enlargements of designs found in airplane magazines. To illustrate his work, Mr. Stephens brought one of his unfinished samples to the meeting. It was a detailed scale model of the Curtiss SB-C4 Hell Diver, a World War Il American plane. He esti- mated that between 150-175 separate pieces are needed for the construction of that particular model, and each component has to be hand carved from the stock balsa wood. The model plane building course will begin in early February, and Mr. Stephens will be pleased to accept novices from a ge 12 to aduit. The fee for e course is expected to be $10 with the cost of materials extra. Mr. Stephens also emphasized that the glue to be used in the construction of the planes is completel non-toxic. MONO. RINTING: This course is a one day workshop to be held this Saturday, January 17th for a fee of $10. Though the process is difficult to explain, the results can be very beautiful (especially after a few tries!) Monoprinting is basically a process of rolling oil paint on a paper surface after creating a design with cut or torn newsprint. Mrs. Joan-Marie Dean, who will be presenting the workshop, mixes the oils with a gel media to give the print a more transparent effect. The gel also helps the paint dry more quickly so that additional coats can be ap- plied without a long delay. Mrs. Dean graduated with a degree in Fine Arts as a Studio Specialist at the University of Toronto last year and she has exhibited ber work in several galleries across the country. Last year her monoprints won two awards--the Kiwanis Award of Merit at the Autumn Festival of the Arts, and the Dora Purden Award from the East Central Art Association. With the aid of a LIP grant, Mrs. Dean has been present- ing workshops to elementary and High School students in Oshawa, and in addition to her monoprinting skills, she is also an accomplished painter and lithograpic printer. BASIC POTTERY: Begin- ning January 19th, the Visual Arts Centre will also be offering a beginner's course in pottery under the direction of Mrs. Wynne Wonnacott. The fee will be $25 for the 10 week session which runs from 1:30 - 3:30 p.m. Mrs. Wonnacott studied under Jerry Balint at the Pot Tree for a year and with Marion Wragg for two years. She is presently working The snow-making machine was blowing up a storm here as the skiers lined up for the tow to take thern up the hill to the top where they could start the long descent, all over again. Now and then even the simplest of machines can give trouble, and it's no fun repairing them when the weather is cold, as these gentlemen atop the towing apparatus were learning when this picture was taken. However, they soon had it operating again and all was well again. Council SeekI Concerninucle On passing a motion on proposed Darlington Nuclear January 5, Newcastle Town Generatin plant.'
