Call 613-476-8072 Suzanne Pasternak Screens Her New Documentary at Macaulay Heritage Park Suzanne Pasternak will hold a sneak preview of her new documentary titled "The Story of a Canadian Legacy" on Thursday, September 21, 2000 at 8:00 at Mac- ulae Heritage Park in Picton. Pasternak has spent more than a decade mterview- ing men and women in the commercial fishing industry, photographing and filming archaeological sites and on lo- cation shoots on Lake Ontario, Main Duck Island, Amherst and False Duck islands. "The Story of a Canadian Legacy" traces the South Marysburgh families: Hicks, Minaker, Bongard, MacIntosh, McCrimmon, Harrison, Ferguson, Mouck, Dulmage, Farrington, McCormick, and Hineman from their landing in 1784 after the American Revolution. "Many of these families were disbanded British and German allied troops who fought in the Revolution and chose to settle in Canada rather then return to England or Germany. Some, like Hicks were American refugees," says Pasternak. "I trace them from 1784 to their develop- ment of the commercial shipping and commercial fishing industry on Lake Ontario. When they arrived in 1784, most had no idea how to pioneer or farm. The German troops didn't even speak English. They suffered terribly those early years and Lake Ontario became their most important resource for food, transportation, and commerce. Some of these families are my neighbours on Long Point, Milford and South Bay." Pasternak, David Archibald and Tom Leighton composed the original music score for the film and the soundtrack features some of the most talented musicians in - Ontario. "I will use this version of the documentary to apply for major funding to have a National Film Board editor work on the film. This screening of the first finished ver- sion will help me pay back some of the production costs I have accumulated over the past years." Tickets are $10.00 and are available at Hicks Gen- eral Store or Books on the Bay. For more information phone Suzanne at 476-9647.
