Qeen's Park The New Provincial Red Meat Plan Minister of Agriculture and Food, Dennis Timbrell, has announced a five-year, $62 million program that will help boost Ontario's red meat industry. The Red Meat Plan is the result of extensive study and consultation with many in- dividuals and all organiza- tions within the industry. This process was undertaken to achieve a clear understanding of the work- ings, structural issues and policy -options available to deal with an industry in tran- sition. The goal which emerged from the meetings is the growth of a viable, indepen- dent red meat sector that is competitive within the North American market. The Red Meat Plan will create a new marketing system for sheep and beef producers as well as introduce a series of in- itiatives to enhance the in- dustry's efficiency and pro- ductivity. A Commission has already been established to plan the proposed new marketing agency for beef. The commis- sioners, all qualified in- dividuals from the industry, are: Henry Davis, vice- chairman of the Farm Pro- ducts Appeal Tribunal; Ralph Barrie, a beef farmer and president of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture; and former Liberal M.P.P. and farm broadcaster, Mur- ray Gaunt. Three sheep commissioners will be named soon. The Ministry will also establish agricultural centres t - provide technical ance to producers to im- prove feeding, herd manage- ment and breeding techni- ques. It will expand fencing as cow herds and sheep flocks grow, create a beef cattle im- provement program, establish a northern develop- ment program and improve management and productivi- ty throughout the industry. The Ministry's strategy focuses upon the rationaliza- tions of the marketing system and the structural develop- ment of the red meat in- dustry. The Advanced Light Rail Transit System or GO- ALRT, an innovative transportation project which will enhance commuter rail services in the areas around Metro Toronto, is proceeding on schedule. The Ministry of Transportation and Com- munications has recently ap- proved the alignment and sta- tion locations for the eastern extension from Pickering to Oshawa. The route will link up the Pickering GO station to the terminal station near Grandview and Bloor Street in Oshawa. The construction of the test-track subsection will begin in the spring of this year. The planned maintenance yard in Whitby which will serve the GO-Transit rail ex- tension to Oshawa, will in- clude a large storage building for the GO-ALRT vehicles. The 45-acre site is designed to accommodate future expan- sion of the system: there will be a need for a broad range of jobs at the yard.

Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, February 1, 19843 "Any Wednesday" sparkles at Marigold The Marigold Dinner Theatre, Whitby, following the successful run of "A Bed- full of Foreigners" -now sparkle back with "Any Wednesday" with its insight into western society through a touch of farce, morality and comedy. It is a typical choice of the Marigold pro- viding clean, professional and sound entertainment. "Any Wednesday" by playwright Muriel Resnik does not resound with con- tinuous one-line quips but it is believable, human and allows time to reflect to the actions in the 'tax deductible' executive suite of the Eagle (Larry Solway) and the humor it provides. Both Larry Solway and Nuala Fitzgerald return for this production with outstan- ding performances. Solway, the enterprising business tycoon, possibly shows more interest in his 'tax-deductible' assets than he does with the little love nest in the executive suite. He was well cast in the part displaying no remorse for his actions. Fitzgerald, playing the wife of the Eagle, skillfully but pleasantly manipulates Ellen (the other young woman) through her attack on the decor of the executive suite and its garden, the pride and joy of the Eagle's lover. Mrs. Cleaves (Fitzgerald) made her final coup, elegant in a new colourful wardrobe, stunning the Eagle himself. Maggie Butterfield in the role of Ellen surely had the top billing of the play and with complete control displayed the complex character-of this young lady, star-eyed, sensitive and vulnerable. Her effervescence was everywhere on stage with every minute being loveable. Sandy Crawley as Cass completed the cast and like the others was most believable. He stumbles on the love nest and having a hang-up with the Eagle is tempted to use this to gain his own end only to fall pitifully in love with Ellen. Entertainment that is worth the trip to' the Marigold Dinner Theatre. It leaves you with a good feel- ing and an evening well- spent.
