4A Change in Lifestyle Whether it lias been by design or just pure accident there lias been a definite change in my life-style of late, especially for those hours of leisure. As you have read before most of those leisure hours i late spring and up to and past mnid-summer were spent in tramping trails, unopened road allowances and wet areas in the northern part of Hope township in our effort in Atlasing Breeding Birds of Ontario. That pursuit of pleasure came to an end or almost came to an end three weeks ago with what appeared an innocent negative statement at the dînner table. -You enoy Dinah Christie' s singing? "With the Wallaces we're going to the Auto Pub at the Holiday Inn in Oshawva where she is appearing.'> There was no reason for mie to object for I do enjoy Dinah Christie and lier vigorous approacli to her profession and as well it would provide the opportuni- ty to sit back, relax witli a "cool one" and mnake con- versation with friends. Christie I enjoyed, I think, but the rest of the environ- ment was flot one of relaxa- tion and casual conversation. Her backup band of three guitars, two percussionists and keyboard rattled and bruised every miarble in the attic. Right then and there it was apparent that our lifestyle had cianged and there coud be no comparison wîth the quite solitude of sitting under an oak tree in the backwoods of Hope waitîng to hear a bird caîl or sing. Wliy musicians must feel tliey have to be heard as in- dividuals, with greatly amplified sound in a room the size of the Auto Pub is a mystery to me, always has been and I guess always will be. But Christie did sing- wel and had an excellent take-off on Trudeau, wasted on mne but would have been enjoyed b>' our Conservative friends. TIhe evening was not over liowever and it mneant a trip to thse Tartan Club and then to investigate the new British Buldog. Yes my lifestyle has changed,. "You enjoy AI Mote and lis jazz group?" "Weil AI and his band is playing at the British Bulldog this Wednesday." It was back to the British Bulldog and yes, AI and the boys do have a lot to offer in dixie or jazz and you have to enjoy their ability and style. With this outing I do believe the pub nights are over but a week and a haif ago on the weekend the cultural revival at home was Sstili alive and il was off to Niagara On Thse Lake to the Shaw Festival. I was thoroughly impressedi with Niagara On Thse Lake, its three theatres, its restaurants, its four or five boutiques, its settin, on the lake, its marina and its park. The Village of 1,600 was jam- med with theatre goers, and it was a selI out at aIl theatres and reservations were neceded at the popular restaurants. There was no indication of a recession here. T We enjoyed "o reT Be Good," a Bernard Shaw play, in the Court House Theatre. The theatre 'is located in a stone block building with Municipal Of- fices on- the first floor and the tlieatrd on thse second floor. It would hold somnewhere bet- ween six and seven hundred and it was jammed packed. What other can I say than it was a professional perfor- 4, Ormo Wmoldy Tintes, Wednesday, September 8, 1982 A t4tolnd Home Ontario Tax, Grants for Seniors is a program designed to help offset municipal, school and retail sales taxes and home heating costs for Ontario residents 65 and over.
