FH.. 1116 86 FRIDAY, JULY 10, 1987 Tunnel Of Love Continued from preceding page Why are there so few eligi- ble Jewish singles in Wind- sor? Why did the last mat- chmaker wring her hands in despair and move to Toronto 25 years ago? Meretsky puts the blame on the blue collar city's poor job prospects. Her attitude reflects that of many in a ci- ty where the two best-known employers are the Chrysler mini-van plant and the nude- dancing fleshpots - like Jason's. There really just aren't a lot of places where you're going to find nice Jewish boys and girls working. "Most people go away to school and stay away," says Meretsky, who plans to do the same. "I don't think I'll ever come back," she adds. Even her recently-divorced mother, the former Detroiter, has followed a new love to Toronto. Sure, there are Jewish singles to be found attending the city's highly regarded University of Windsor, but 27-year-old Ian Alexis isn't too keen about them. "It's too frustrating and too transistory to get involved with someone who is here for only three or four days out of the week and then has to go back to Toronto," said Alexis. "If you want to dip into the greater pool, you have to go to the States," he advises. Alexis says most of the young people in his age group have gone to bigger cities and found their marriage part- ners there. Often, they'll come back to Windsor to start a family. He praises the activities of Detroit's Jewish Community Center in bringing Jewish singles together, but isn't too enthusiastic over what Wind- sor's center has tried to ac- complish in that area. Whenever Windsor's Jewish Center attempts to put together a program for the city's singles the result is "a feeble effort, a waste time, money and effort," says Alexis. He suggests the center should "establish a program to maintain young people in this city. Right now there's no real reason to stay." Alexis comes down hard on the center's emphasis upon providing programs directed towards the city's senior citizens. However he concedes the aged make up the largest segment of Windsor's Jewish population. But that doesn't stop him from blaming the Jewish Center because "No attempt is made to keep the student or young adult population grow- ing in this city." Alexis says the Center "has really miss- ed the boat in terms of fur- thering the population." Alexis thinks the center should be "trying to stimulate another facility at the university like a medical or professional school that will attract Jewish students. Instead, as a result of all this emphasis upon the senior citizens, the younger Jewish population of the city has suf- fered." He acknowledges that the university's law, business and social work schools are among the most highly-rated in the province and do attract more than a few Jewish students. But he says that when it comes to studying medicine or journalism, "Peo- ple go elsewhere for their education now and they aren't coming back to Windsor, "And why should they come back here?" he asks. "If there were a new school on a graduate level, people would not have to leave the area." But Feuer, who has seen the light at the end of the Windsor-Detroit tunnel, doesn't hesitate to share it with other Windsor Jewish singles who find themselves in the predicament he once was. "Tell them to join a group, to get on a mailing list of ac- tivities," says Feuer, stress- ing the need to get involved with Jewish singles programs in Detroit. "It's all up to the in- dividual, and a lot of it is at- titude," he says. "You won't meet anybody sitting at home and watching a hockey game on Saturday night." Pool Party At The Center The Community Network for Jewish Singles and the Jewish Community Center Health Clubs will join for their annual poolside party and barbecue at 6 p.m. July 29 at the outdoor pool at the main Jewish Center.
