The two performers are no strangers to Georgetown audiences and have been working together for more than 25 years since their study days at summer music school in Victoria, B.C. The second soiree, August 14, features Tchaikovsky's marvelously melodic Piano Concerto No.1 in B flat minor for two pianos. This evening of familiar tunes, harp-like arpeggiations and thundering octaves will also include very dramatic virtuosic showstoppers that Greidanus has become known for. Special guest Matthew Pope, recently back from studies in France will perform Chopin's dramatic Scherzo in b minor-- an event not to miss! The grand finale on August 21 will highlight Brahms' Piano Quintet for String Quartet and Piano in F minor, a momentous work for all musicians involved. This last concert in the series of three will be limited to 45 people. Following each of the Tuesday musical events, Yvonne Oldaker will treat the pallet to tasty summer edibles that will be mirrored to the various works on the program.

(A) Denturist TOOTH CHATTER - georgetowndentureclinic.ca WAY BACK WHEN... Ph.D. COACHING & COUNSELING SERVICES · INDIVIDUAL · COUPLES · FAMILY COUNSELING · DEPRESSION · ANXIETY · LIFE & CAREER CHANGES · PERSONAL GROWTH There were some remedies for a toothache from ancient time and the middle Ages: Spit into a frog's mouth. Pick your teeth with a nail of the middle toe of an owl. Make a mixture of roasted garlic and horseradish and human milk, roll into pills and insert into the nostril on the opposite side of your aching tooth. If none of these magical remedies did the trick, you could have the cavity plugged with a ground bone, pepper, paprika, partridge brain, stone chips, turpentine resin, metals or ear wax - hopefully your own! The other option was to 38 OAK STREET, GEORGETOWN ONTARIO info@coachmanon.com have the offending tooth pulled out. A crude way to accomplish this painful task was to place a chisel-shaped piece of wood against the tooth and pound it with a mallet. Unfortunately, often only the crown broke off, leaving the infected roots still inside the gum. In ancient China, professional toothpullers could do the job for you using only their fingers strengthened by hours of pulling nails out of planks! Thank heaven for today's dental professionals!! We sure have come a long way, baby!!! WE BUILD BEAUTIFUL SMILES! Consultations are always free!! You have probably heard that legislation has been passed that targets drivers using cell phones while operating a motor vehicle. We all know that distractions are a dangerous combination and common part of driving on today's congested roadways. Any way to lessen the number of distractions faced daily would greatly help one to focus on the task at hand, and get on with their day. At the Georgetown Hearing Clinic, we do not condone the use of cell phones while driving, but when absolutely necessary, a hands free device, such as a speaker phone, line OnstarTM or a bluetooth connected earpiece can be very useful and help reduce distraction - not to mention allow the driver the use of both hands. At The Georgetown Hearing Clinic, we provide a wide variety of custom fit and non custom fit bluetooth hands free devices.
