Odesse set for Australian trip thanks to Rotary _by Ken Regan Mike Odesse, a Penetanguishene _ ph- otographer and businessman will travel to Australia for six weeks, beginning Feb. 6 and he describes the upcoming trip as "a dream come true." Odesse's good fortune is the result of a "group study exchange" program that is spon- sored by The Rotary Foundation of Rotary A a International. The program is designed to allow out- standing business or professional men_bet- ween the ages 25 and 35 to visit, study and experience' other nations. The program is a reciprocal one with the sending district of one year acting as host district the following year. \ For example, Odesse : | € B | ] | : af dl a | | Ecole Secondaire Penetanguishene Secondary School is preparing its production "Man of La Mancha", slated to go before the public on Dec. 4, 5 and 6 at 8 p.m. in the school's gymnasium. The high school's production is being directed by John Norton, and the school's version of the classic Broadway musical though in its roughest form at present already shows signs of shaping into a fine production. Story The story centres around a period in the life of the is one of five persons selected from District 701. which includes Midland and other areas such as North Bay. These five will travel to and through District 969, in Australia, and next year the members selected from _ the Australian district will visit this Canadian district. 969 District While in Australia, Odesse and his Canadian counterparts will travel extensively throughout the 969 district, which is in the general vicinity . of Sydney, Australia, returning to Canada, March 20. During that time, Odesse and other group members will learn about Australian culture, business, in- dustry, agriculture and life in general. In return, the Canadian legendary romantic hero, Don Quixote and ESPSS student Brian Wagg will have the pleasure and responsibility of that prestigious role. Other principals in the play are Jane Whittington as Aldonza, Quixote's distant love: Celia Dyer plays Sancho and the part of Pedro goes to Marcel Ladouceur. Todd Saulnier plays the Padre.

When asked if he was surprised to be selected, Odesse said, "Yes I was, quite a bit." Describing the events surrounding his ac- ceptance last Wed- nesday, (Oct. 22) Odesse stated he did not know what the selection committee was looking for, and furthermore did not know if he would fill the requirements. Considering the high standards set for criteria of selection, Odesse can certainly feel proud of his being chosen as our am- bassador to Rotary District 969. Interest The trip to Australia is of particular interest to Odesse for several reasons; as a professional _ photogr- apher, the excursion will allow first hand observation of a totally new country and culture, and if time permits, may allow for some _ photographic work to be performed. In addition, the trip is really "a dream come true,"" because Odesse had once applied to emigrate to Australia. At that time, he was completing his~ studies at college and was, unfortunately for him, (fortunately for this area), turned down because of Australia's rigid immigration laws. Those laws stipulate a newcomer must be able to fill an employment need of the country and at that particular time, officials didn't feel his field met those criteria. But that's all behind him now and Mike Odesse is very excited about this unique op- portunity. And though he says he does not believe in matters of the occult, such as astrology, he relates an interesting anecdote. On the' day he received his notice of acceptance, his horoscope said a certain group would be spon- soring him for a special event. It's Hallowe'en and doesn't fate work in interesting ways?
