The series was created by the late Trac- ey Tyler as a fundraiser for an accessibility addition including an elevator at the Acton Town Hall. The series will kick off on Sunday, Oc- tober 6 at 2 p.m. with a unique afternoon of jazz with best of the best-- Peter Apple- yard's "A-Team." The late Peter Appleyard, was a beloved Canadian jazz icon, who shared the stage with famous stars and the best jazz bands in history. He also loved to play locally in in- timate settings to the joy of anyone who was there. The presentation will include photos and videos from Appleyard's performance career. His "A-Team", John Sherwood (piano), Reg Schwa- ger (guitar), Terry Clarke (drums) and Pat Collins (bass) will reminisce about their time on the road with Peter. The afternoon event will also include a dessert reception. Born in Lincolnshire, England, Apple- yard moved to Canada in the 1950s. In 1976 he bought a farm in Nassagaweya (near Rockwood) where he stabled his horses and his vintage cars. He was a friendly neighbor to all, and performed regularly, to full houses, at Heaven on Seven in Rock- wood. Many non-profit organizations in the region benefitted when he generously offered his services for their fundraisers. His was the first star on the Milton Walk of Fame. Canada honoured him with the Order of Canada and the music world be- stowed upon him many awards which rec- ognized his skill and talent. His last public performance took place in his own barn in May-- both John Sherwood and Terry Clarke shared the stage with him on that happy occasion. The Absolutely Acton Speakers Series includes three more presentations. On Sunday, November 10 at 2 p.m., Rob- ert Rotenberg will talk about court report- ers in real life and fiction. Rotenberg is a criminal lawyer in Toronto and the author of four bestselling novels, set in the streets and courtrooms of the city. His latest book, Stranglehold, even features a corrupt may- or. He has many stories to tell, including the important role court reporters such as the late Tracey Tyler play in the justice sys- tem, and in his books. Astronomer and Professor Michel Fich will introduce you to another set of colours -- the Far Infrared-- the new frontier in ob- servational astronomy on Sunday, March 2 at 2 p.m. Fich specializes in studies of star formation, the interstellar medium, and the structure of galaxies and has fascinat- ing stories to tell about the stars. The final speaker in the series is Martin Stringer, a CBC researcher and reporter early in his career and a former producer for CBC's As It Happens. Martin has a fas- cinating perspective of Canadian federal politics. Come and find out what it was like to be at the heart of politics as he talks about "Covering Canada's Parliament: The Good, The Bad and the Ugly" on Sunday, April 13 at 2 p.m. "We are very pleased to present this terrific line up of events in our beautifully restored theatre. Each one offers something very special and unique," said Kathleen Dills, events coordinator for Heritage Acton, which res- cued the 1883 town hall from demolition and restored it to its former glory. "The high praise we got from the prior series was the inspiration for us to find a mix of fascinating people and subjects and you are not going to want to miss any of them," she said.
