"The view of the board is that Catholics have right to Catholic education. It would apply to hem as much as it would apply to a Roman Catholic. The board has no problem with it, ey're Catholics, they have a right to it. If they get the numbers, we will provide it," said board ducation director Cliff Byrnes last week. "I think anything from 75 (students) to a indred would be a good base to start with," id Byrnes. Oakyille resident and chairperson of the ommittee to Establish a Byzantine Catholic ite School in Halton, Ramona Gorsky, said her ‘oup, which is working to establish the school, timates numbers of potential students at 76.

The school would likely offer both junior and senior kindergarten programs and the early elementary grades to start. As the most senior class progressed, so would the school size. A Burlington school location has been men- tioned as a possible site for the school. but Bymes said it was all "speculative." He said he didn't want to get people's hopes up while the idea is still in the formative stage. Gorsky has two young children who have attended a Byzantine Rite School in Mississauga, St. Sophia, which is operated by the Dufferin-Peel Roman Catholic School Board. A spokesperson for the Oakville Fareshare Foodbank said there is a particular need for stew, canned meat, juice, jello and instant coffee. Volunteers are also needed to receive and sort food at the incoming warehouse. Interested volunteers should call 847-3988. The Oakville resident said there is another Byzantine Rite school, Holy Wisdom, similarly operated in Hamilton. Vol. 31 No.119 has been getting "We've found some patients taken aback when they come into the hospital now," he said. "They say it's not as good as it used to be, They say they don't get the back rubs or the bed changed every day and, when they had their first baby, they could stay in the hospital for seven days." That perception isn't a true one of a hospital operating in the '90s, he added. To find out to what extent the perception is held is the goal of the survey.

IMINION GUIDE _ SECURITIES TO ESTATE PLANNING 201k24 .13-17 21.23 6 Halloween issue left for parents to decide Oakville Beaver Staff Town won't endorse Saturday date change By HOWARD MOZEL If tradition is what Oakville residents want, tradition is what they got Monday night when - true to historical form - local councillors ttip-flopped on the issue of when to hold Hallowe'en. On Sept. 28th. the Administrative Services Committee voted unani- mously in favor of a staff recommendation to change observance of the festival from Sun. Oct. Blst to Sat. Oct. 30th. The lone resident respon- sible for last week's decision, however, was simply outnumbered on Monday by those determined to see custom prevail. For Elizabeth Coard - who appeared before Council both this week and the last time Hallowe’cn fell on a Sunday 11 years ago - the deci- sion to simply shelve the staff report was disappointing.
