4 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, July 6,1983 Section Two ôpotâgkt on AActo/tia QMman Queen's Park Report By Sam Cureatz M.P.P. By Donna Fairey Victoria Ullmann is a magical magical dreamer, The Orono woman possesses the special ability to translate her mystical mystical thoughts into printed words. The 68-year-old German born woman is a relative newcomer newcomer to the literary scene in terms of published work. Her first book, Dewdrops, was released released in 1981, It is a collection of short stories chiefly aimed at children but is delivered in a captivating style capable of delighting even an adult's thirst for imaginative literature. literature. Dewdrops contains 34 innovative innovative vignettes about nature, children, memorable characters, characters, mythical creations and creatures both real and imaginary. imaginary. Her second book titled Our Escape should be released any day. Unlike Dewdrops' fiction- For ever so tong I fried fo exchange My sewing morhine For a good kitchen range; Then I ran an ad here And you reai/y should see The range of fhe rangn Offered fo mel al flavor, Our Escape is a chronicle of Mrs. Ullmann's real life experiences in Germany Germany at the end of World War II when she and her family narrowly escaped the invading invading Russian army. She writes in detail about the flight from her farm community with the Russians so close she could see their soldier's faces. In tow were her three young daughters. She was pregnant with a fourth child. Our Escape "tells of bombed cities, deadly machines, tortured tortured people, suffering and other ravages of war. Her story goes beyond adventure. It's a tale of horror, shock, fear, mercy and joy. It describes describes the power of a family's courage united by love against adversity too monstrous to believe. Mrs. Ullmann's hopes for the book are somewhat higher than those she held out for Dewdrops. She believes, and her American publishers have supported her anticipation, that Our Escajpe will appeal to a broader audience. What's surprising, because her work is truly refreshing, is Mrs. Ullmann's humble attitude. attitude. She is reluctant to accept the reality that first, her writing is quality material and, second, that people will' be moved to read it. A totally unassuming woman, the neophyte author was bom in Germany in 1915, the daughter of a farmer- landowner. She met and married married her husband Henry in 1938. It was on one of the last boats to leave her defeated homeland in 1945 that Mrs. Ullmann and her family made their escape. - Following a struggle during which the family started off a new life in Canada with literally literally nothing, today Mrs. Ullmann Ullmann thinks the country is a veritable paradise. She and her husband are now retired and have renovated a large brick heritage home on Orono's main street. It was not until the late 1960's that Mrs. Ullmann began writing. With no formal training in the art, she surprised surprised even herself at what flowed from the tip of her pen. Mrs. Ullmann's stories were initially inspired by a desire to- relate her thoughts to her grandchildren. The quality of her work was born out when she learned that two weeks after submitting her first manuscript 16 Carlton Press in New York, the company had agreed to publish her book. Mrs. Ullmann admits that she writes whenever the mood strikes. "Some weeks there's just nothing," she stated. "Sometimes ideas emerge in the middle of the night," she revealed. "Then again, it could be a Sunday afternoon." She has survived war and serious personal illness. Because Because of it, she has developed a maturity which provides a great depth of literary resources. resources. Whenever and whatever whatever she writes, Mrs. Ullmann is indeed a promising Canadian Canadian author. A lady of immense determination, determination, she has already completed the writing of a third book and is seriously considering poetry. BUSINESS DIRECTORY Accountancy WILLIAM C. HALL B. Comm.

I am now pleased to report that Durham College will be receiving $4.728 million for this purpose. Included will be construction construction of a 3400 sq. metre trades and technology technology building which will be used by trainees in the welder-fitter certificate certificate program and apprentices in the fitter- welder program during their in-college terms. It will also house a computer computer graphics facility which will be used by students in a number of programs including electronic engineering technologist, interior design and systems analyst. Those participating participating in the TIBI (Training in Business & Industry! program will also use it. As well as the new building the funds will enable expansion of the college's library, student student services facility and cafeteria. This project is part of the budget's accelerated accelerated capital works pro gram which is designed to create jobs in the construction construction industry, and in the case of Durham College, to permit upgrading upgrading of facilities to enhance the quality of the college's programs. Another employment initiative flowing from the budget is the new Young Ontario Career Program, the details of which have also just been finalized. Admin istered by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing, the $25 million program will create full time jobs for 12,500 Ontario young people aged 20 to 29 years. Employers who would like to obtain information information on this program program can telephone the Ministry of Municipal Affairs & Housing toll free at 1-800-387-1290. I was also pleased that the Ministry of Labour has announced funding for additional expansion of the Port Darlington Marina in. the amount of $230,678. • I was pleased to attend attend the official opening of the access facility for the handicapped in the Bowmanville Library,: and congratulations to the Chairman of the Library Board, Murray Clark.
