The Convocation speaker stressed that the accelerating pace of change whiçh will characterize the world of the future will require that education education no longer be concerned primarily with transmitting what is known, but with 11 engaging human beings in a process of inquiry throughout their lives.

Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, January 19, 1983, 9 Recreational Trails on Crown Lands J. Paterson - Lands and Waters Administrator In previous years the people people of Ontario have had available, for then free use and enjoyment, various crown land trails. Specifically smowmobile trails have been maintained and groomed for public use by private clubs through the assistance of provincial provincial grants. Due to cutbacks in provincial provincial funding this Ministry » now looking at alternative means to assist private clubs in maintaining trails. Presently Presently there is an experimental policy designed to aid the clubs with their efforts m maintaining the quality of the winter trails. The Ministry is reviewing the existing trails network onk crown land in each district, to determine which trails lend themselves to being "privatized". This review takes into account, Ministry program concerns, availability availability of crown land and present trail use. Organized trail clubs can apply to the Ministry for a land use permit, permit, if the permit is approved it allows the club to maintain the trail, or parts of it, on crown land. In turn, the clubs may charge trail users, this could-apply to club members and/or others. The fees collected collected would be applied to the ; maintenance and grooming costs incurred by the clubs. This new policy was designed primarily for smowmobile trails, however, it also applies to other trail users such as horse back riders, cross country skiers and hikers. Committee approve new Courtice Agreement The General Purpose committee committee on Monday gave their approval to a new agreement for Courtice Heights development. development. The agreement gives approval, approval, following council en- dorsation, to call tenders for the first phase of the storm water drainaee facilities required required for development of the area. Lot levies agreed upon between between the Town and developer are greater than those in other areas of the municipality municipality with residential development development charges being $880 per unit for single and semidetached semidetached dwelling units, $735. for row housing and $600 per unit for apartments. The access over the regular charges will be received in a special fund for the Courtice Heights development. The Town will also call upon the Province of Ontario through the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing Housing to execute a revised Ontario Ontario Housing Action Program Program Loan with the Town and forward the loan amount of $350,000.00 to the Town a$^ soon as possible. The loan is to be an interest-free loan. It is not expected that development will take place this year in the Courtice Memorial Hospital plan approval (Continued from page 1) come before the hospital board but a report from the hospital will be available on January 28th. Elston had made a submission submission to the recent Ontario Caucus meeting held in Peterborough Peterborough and felt the board had full support of the Peterborough Peterborough meeting. Elston also pointed out that the letter did not give full approval but certainly gave every indication that they would receive funding for the redevelopment of the proposed proposed wing at an estimated cost of $1.2 million. Heights development and possibly due to economic conditions the development could be some two years away. Councs, Harare and Cowman opposed the agreement agreement in committee. Harare has stated that the development development charges are not going to cover the costs to the Town. She refers to capital costs of setting up a new centre in the . municipality in what she terms 'virgin territory. ' Counc. Harare also asks 'whv construct these services now when they will not be used used for a number of years?' She also points out that the Town dqes have' sufficient, developable land at the present present time in areas where the infrastructure is in place. Some months ago, I commented on press reports of a speech by Dr. Joseph Maclnnis, the President of Undersea Research Limited, a Toronto-based consulting firm. I was impressed by what was reported of the speech, because it indicated that Dr. Maclnnis, in addition addition to being a medical doctor, a diver and an entrepreneur, was something of a poet. Thanks to Joe Maclnnis himself, I now have more evidence. He was here at Global recently, recently, apparently to do an interview with THAT'S LIFE. I'm chagrined that I missed him. But he left something for me. A copy of his new book, THE BREADALBANE ADVENTURE, ADVENTURE, suitable inscribed with a trail of bubbles going up the page beside his signature. The Breadalbane, you may recall, was a British sailing ship which sank 127 years ago "in the frigid, ice-choked waters off Beechey Island in the Northwest Passage. The book is Joe Maclnnis's story of the search for the Breadalbane and the incredible moments when they found her, and photographed her, with a remote controlled camera. I dipped into the book early one afternoon aria nearly missed the Six 0'C|ock newscast because of it. It's a fascinating book, and Joe Maclnnis emerges in my view, as one of those men for all seasons who make life worth living. When I was a kid I revelled in thv books of Richard Halliburton, a man who sailed and walked and climbed and dove his way around the world, probing the past and testing his nerve in the present. He sailed into the South China sea in a junk, some years ago, as I recall it, and was never seen again. Thor Heyerdahl, who came a bit later, had some of the same ' qualities. But he was and is more serious than Halliburton, Halliburton, and all 1 his voyages, in balsa rgfts, reed boats, whatever -- have expanded the horizons for archaeologists archaeologists by establishing the unsuspected seaworthiness seaworthiness of many primitive vessels. But Joe Maclnnis, in my view, is better value than either of them. Part of it js his primary area of interest, under the seas, which with space; as Walter Cronkite puts it in the introduction, is one of man's last two frontiers. Part of it, perhaps, is that Joe Maclnnis is a Canadian, and a Canadian who has had the courage to make a living out of what interests him. And part,of it is simply that he writes much better than Halliburton,, Heyerdahl and broken down anchormen. Joe Maclnnis takes you with him, not just into the unforgiving unforgiving dépths of an arctic sea, but into the past, into the rank atmosphere of the messdeck on a wooden ship in the 1850's. But don't take my word for it: read his. That's THE BREADALBANE ADVENTURE by Joe Maclnnis, Optimum Optimum Publishing. That's riot news but that tools reality.
