Rock concert against violence Community Notices Sale (_3 th e bo d y shop® B y C a ro l B a ld w in ENTERTAINMENT EDITOR A group of Oakville teenagers is determined to eliminate violence in society. The enormity of such a task does not deter these teens, who originally band together last year to raise funds to help defray medical expenses for a young man with cancer. This year, their concert is aimed at eradicating violence, and any donations (the concert is free) will go to the Halton Rape Crisis Centre. Alice Tien is part of a group of teenagers from a number of Oakville high schools who helped establish Minka (which, she says, means `com munity' in Japanese), a not-for-profit youth group seeking to raise awareness on social issues and motivate youth to effect change. Not only do these ambitious students organize benefit con certs, they have developed a website to encourage other teens to educate themselves about global injustices. "We hosted a benefit concert in May, 1999 and raised some pretty generous donations to the Canadian Cancer Society," says Tien, a student at St. Ignatius of Loyola Secondary School. `T hen we started an educational Internet-based maga zine (minka@canada.com). It's free, and we have over 600 subscribers in the GTA. It raises aware ness of other events in the community and brings attention to things which are currently happening in the world. It encourages youth to find solutions to problems instead of just sitting there." That is also the point of this year's benefit con [Deaths CULLINGHAM, Tom - Peacefully on Monday.

DON'T MISS THIS ONCE A YEAR EVENT! Deaths BEBENSEE: It is w ith great sadness that we announce the passing of Lyle Ross Bebensee, age 76 of Wardsville, Ontario. Beloved Husband of the Late Muriel (Fulcher) Bebensee (1994). Loving Father of Jane Bebensee and husband B ill Crockett of St. Albert, Alberta, Stephanie Bebensee and friend Brent Welch of Ridgetown. Loving Grandfather of Glen and Beth Crockett. Dear brother of Marie Tolleson of Conyers, Georgia and Norman Bebensee of Port Huron, M ichigan. Predeceased by a sister Jean Cottier and brothers Douglas, Lloyd, and Donald Bebensee. A Celebration of Lyle's Life was held at the Badder & Robinson Funeral Home, 230 Elm St., Bothwell on Tuesday, June 6,2000 at 11 a.m. Lyle led a rich and varied life. Industrious and innovative, he was a musician, author, teacher, filmmaker, and later an activist. He was a naturalist all his life! Born in Zone Township, he attended school in Zone Centre and Glencoe. Lyle, along with his brothers and sisters learned to be resourceful during those years, and they respected each others ideas for the rest of their lives. He was proud to be a member of the Royal Canadian Air Force during the W.W.II even though he didn't see overseas service. Lyle gained his great knowledge of classical music while working at Electrohome in Kitchener, Ontario. It was there, too, that he met his wife of 30 years Muriel Fulcher. He attended the University of Western Ontario, where he earned a BA in Geography. Always looking to satisfy that musical urge, he was a member of the Operatic Society. Haliburton was the location of his first teaching assignment, and for the next 25 years he taught in Wallaceburg, Oakville, and at Humber College in Toronto. It was during this time also that he began his second career; that of a documentary filmmaker. He travelled to Australia, New Zealand, hiked the Chilkoot Trail in the Yukon, and travelled on an icebreaker through the North West Passage. He produced films that are still seen by school children today. At the age of 55, Lyle retired from teaching, and traded 'time for money'. In the next twenty years, he wrote and published three works of fiction, with a fourth book in the works. In the last few years, his greatest pleasure came from playing bass clarinet in the West Elgin Community Band and playing the guitar and singing with Bob Bobalous. Lyle Bebensee was a free thinker who was respected by all who knew him, and his influence will be felt by people for many years to come.

"It's more of an educational concert, to inspire people and to promote the need to eradicate vio lence in our society...W e can't believe that vio lence still continues in today's society with so much w e've accomplished so far," says the 19year-old, explaining that there will also be two speakers at the concert to encourage youth to take a stand against violence. "We have guest speakers from Take Back the Night and from Artists Against R acism ...I believe that ignorance is the root o f all evil, right now." The concert, which will go on rain or shine, will feature music from rock to punk to sea, per formed by seven bands including Faster Than Eddie, Jeff Dickie and Friends, Jerk Circus, Kataklism, King Nothing, KWH, and The Livid. "They are volunteering their time to promote the same cause," explains Tien. "We are encour aging people to car pool. And donations would be greatly appreciated." "Putting on this concert shows that w e're not the stereotypical teenagers. We don't lie around and do nothing," she asserts. "We're proving to the community that we can get up arid take charge and do something, that we can have an impact on society. We can try to make a differ ence."
