music as Acton Citizens Band proved Sunday night The local band performed Its annual spring concert in the fetor mm of Acton High School Ken lieSmith was the original location for the con cert but the event had to be moved for an audience of about 100 music lovers The highlight of the evening was the performance of George Frederic Handel Organ Concerto VI featuring George Elliott playing both the organ and directing the band The organ donated for the evening was the Kisten a one manual four stop pipe organ made by Organs of Fergus The little ingenious engineering feat contains almost pipes Elliott told the audience Handel the greatest of the Baroque composers invested the oratorio which Is as English as roast beef Mixed In with his oratorios would be concertos The band for the first time tackled the the way Handel himself did it so many years ago the director leading the band and playing the organ at the same time They pulled it off flawlessly Another of the evening was two performances by Dave Sale on the oboe One Sonata in A Minor featured Sale on the oboe with Elliott playing the organ Later with the entire band playing along Sale offered Oboe Cpncerto in D Minor The band director described his counterpart behind the baton for the Acton High School Band as not only an comptlshed but also a professional George Phillip Telemann a German was the most prolific composer ever operas alone The author of Sonata in A Minor composed for every instrument and every type of musical group you could imagine Ma reel I who composed Oboe Concerto could hardly find lime to write music since he was an expert mathematician sculptor painter and he even studied philosophy He used to host weekend concerts at his Venice mansion at which his music was performed Elliott noted s brother Beneditto was much better known for compos ng musk The concert began as all Citizens Band performances start with a march They chose Kenneth Alford Holy rood was the foremost composer of military marches to bring the crowd alive Russian composer Serge Prokofiev Gavotte a key board piece transcribed for was the second fine of fermg of the evening The first half of the program concluded with five movements of the Jerchmlah Clarke Suite Duke of Gloucester March Serenade Cebell Minuet and Prince of Denmark March The last movement is better known and popular as the Trumpet Tune by Henry Pur cell to whom the music was long attributed Bands don often play music composed specifically for band bo our band started the second half of the program with Erlckson Overture Pastorale This was a fine example of music trying to portray nature and if you closed your eyes you could actually envision the rage of a storm and beautiful scenery The only departure for the evening to contemporary was Highlights from Jesus Christ Superstar The tunes included I don Know How to Love Him and Superstar The program concluded with an old favorite Mr Sandman which is being popularly revived again Many In the audience remarked at how good the band sounded this particular evening This summer the band will play two or three early evening picnic conerts behind the Band Hall when mostly light popular music will be performed Clergy Comment by Rev Jean Stair ftw weeks ago in a class at the Toronto School of Theology a woman raised Hit question Why have we always killed out prophets No one could provide a one- sentence response to her heart rendering quer The truthfulness of her question struck home to me When I reflect on the great prophetic figures of history such as Jesus Ghandi and Martin Luther King Junior the amount of death rejection criticism and abuse parallels the words their pro- da n Prophets are never embraced with warmth They arc crucified assassinated prisoned tortured or made Impotent vcr Prophetic words cut to the core of the issue and point the finger of blame Words art not minced realities are not sugar coated and behavior is not politically Prophets do nor aim to keep everyone happy They tell it like it is and when we do not like what they tell us we des troy them to silence their words Right now the voices of the prophets are again emerging clearly over the unjust and war torn nature f our world We have pro phets in Poland prophets in the Canadian Catholic scene and prophets in the growing surge of peact movements across Canada and the S In a more subtle way we even hear the of the prophet through the movie which a freedom fighter in racist South Africa becoming a national leader helping India in the 1940s to gain independence from British imperial rult Through this we hear a prophetic voice addressing us in the and calling US to strive actively for peace through violent means It Is difficult to be a prophet his informs us that our prophets end up dead Vet must it be only the voice of the graves that cry out today Or can you and I take up the hated cause for the sake of truth and peace It may be a and painful stand yet if we believe are tailed to carry on the work Jesus began then we too must preach good news to the poor proclaim release to the captives recover the sight of the blind and set at liberty those who arc oppressed Let us proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord TV programs beamed off satellite is new dish at Station Hotel The latest dish available for customers at the Station Hotel serves up about 100 channels Nick owner of the hotel has in stalled a TV Satellite dish antenna on the roof the building Now customers can sit In the lounge and watch hours of sports If they can stay that long or select a from different movie channels or tune into an all news station religious broadcasting anything that American Pay TV has to offer plus a lot of others The dish picks up any regular television broadcast any hockey game on CBC across the country and all on a large videoscreen Kekic installed the dish to improve the business at the hotel he said So far It s working moderately Not everyone knows that It a there yet he explained So far sports seems to be the favored customer fare with recent hit movies and old times movies from the 1930s running not far behind Kekic expects the big bonanza will come when major boxing championship fights are broadcast from Las Vegas There are good reasons for hoping the dish will be a major draw It a invest purchased It about a month ago from a Mtsstssauga firm Time will tell whether it worth it he said I don expect it to pay for itself over night But don all rush to book a room The satellite reception is only available in the bar and only on one station at a time There Is only one screen But even if there were two screens in the bar they can only be hooked Into one station as long as everyone agrees on what they want to watch I guess it a trend now for hotels to have a satellite dish and I want to be in on it Kekic remarked Nick Kekic shows latest dish which he hope v Ill be a major drawing card for Station Hotel clientele Street lights for St Josephs area Dropin tonight The April evening dropin with Acton councillors will be held tonight Wednesday from at the Acton Library in the Watson Room Coun cillors invite citizens to attend and discuss taxes Town spend ing program recreation services work etc Hills general com m decided Monday night to spend about SI having three street lights put up on Mill St West in the vicinity of St Jos School The cost for the lights will come from the Acton portion of the street lighting budget Engineer Robert Austin recommended the lights be put up after reviewing a request made in December by Council lor Dave Whiting The original request for the tights didn come from the Hal ton Separate School Board or neighbors but from parents whose children use the sidewalk to get to and from school While normally the cost of lights would be assessed against the properties benefitting from the lights this can t be done in this It is parents living all over town who wanted the lights Also Austin report noted when the expansion of the Acton urban servicing water and sewers boundary is finally approved that side of Mill St West will be within the urban boundary and no longer part of Esq ties so the lights would likely go In then and the costs charged to all taxpayers through the urban area charge portion of annual taxes Austin was proposing the tights simply be put In earlier and that all taxpayers foot the bill now Rubbish on fire No damage was reported by firefighters following a rubbish Monday it at Lot a Con 5 Erin Township
