4opearing i'his Sunday The Newcastle and District Concert Series Association is presenting two concerts in March at the Newcastle Com- munity Hall. They are offer- ing a special price: the two concerts for $10., more than 25 per cent off the rush seat price. On Sunday, March 10 at 7:30 p.m. "Lyracord", a harp and tenor duo will per- form. James McLean, the Toronto tenor, has been win- ning acclaim for solo work in oratorios, concerts and opera. The Globe and Mail reviewed an appearance by hirn in December at the St. Lawrence Centre Town Hall: "He dominated the perfor- mance, sometimes without accompaniment, and always with exceptionally clear enun- ciation of the texts. His ex- pressive, controlled singing Ieft me wondering why he omitted one of the 10 songs in the group". He sang the role of Ralph Jackstraw in HMS Pinafore at Stratford in 1981. In the Netherlands in 1983 he sang the Iead role in "Curlew River", an opera by Ben- jamin Britten. He has made guest appearances with the Toronto Symphony and the National Arts Centre Or- chestra. Harpist Gianetta Baril has appeared with orchestras across the country including the National Youth Or- chestra. In 1982 she won the' top prize in the Du Maurier Search for the Stars. Critics applaud her playîng with comments such as "im- pressive skill", "clariety and musical distinction". She will bc playing harp solos as well' as accompanying her hus. band. This combination «f harp and tenor it reminisce*st of Irish -music; rather ip- propriate when St. Patrick's Day falis in the samne week. Thçse two fine artists have combiaed their talents to form "Lyracord" They have recently toured Saskatchewan for Youth and Music Canada and arecurrently touring On- tario. Together they provide an evening of beauty and en- chantment, with a programn of folk music to operatî c arias. On Sunday, March 31, also at 7:30 p.m., the popular Climax Jazz Band will return for a concert in this series. You can attend two top- notch concerts in March for $10. - a bargain when you consider the time, effort and parkins ý frustrations you would face to hear the same music in P onto. The tickets are available from Judy (987-4872) or Dick (987-4897) or write the Treasurer, Concert Series, Box 39, Newcastle, Ontario, LOA 1 HO.

Oronio 'eely 'rime ýýAroufnd Home Less Hazard'ous? Last week 1 closed out the 'From Around Home' article by stating that 1 was going to go back to bird watching and fine tuning the viewing scope as it was Iess harzardous than continuing with anything associated witb affirmative action. The fact is 1 held truc to the written statement and Wednesday afternoon look- ing for a complete change in the run of things at the office loaded the viewýing scope into the car, put an extra layer of clothing on as aprotection against the gusting wind 8and took off. 1 had predetermined the destination to be the lakefront in Bowmanville as well as that in Oshawa where 1 knew somne waterfowl were wintering. About mid afternoon 1 reached Lakeview Park in Oshawa and had sonée geese tuned into the scope in the hope that perhaps 1 could sec something other than Canada Geese. It was not to be the case so I moved somnewhat to the eastern section of the Park where perhaps 1 could view other areas. It was at this point that the sound of the gusting wind was broken by the bark of a big black collie dog who came bounding towards the sole bird watcher. Now 1 have been told you just ignore such beasts.. disregard the fact they are there. You can forget that ap- proach it doesn't work and 1 have proof that it doesn't .. a torm pant leg. Using the tripod of the scope to ward-off the dog 1 had to await the arrivai of the owner who apparently was walking the dog in the park and on such a day not expec- ting others to be present. The quandry now arises what can 1 do that has a built in safety factor than you can depend on. Certainfr bird watching has soiae factors that have to be considered and I can assure you takeing on the feminist movement-has tgo. This might hî ve /you wondering the gendé~r o the big black colle. Weil the owner,*as femnale and so was the d'og. Surely there can be no con- nection between the Lakeview Pa rk attack and the attack 1 suffered a co uple of weeks ago. Or could there. es, WNedniesdav, March 6, 1985-3 SSuggest six more teachers be hired An administration report submitted to the Nor- thumberland and Newcastle Board Education last Thurs- day evening recommends that the Board hire six additional elementary school teachers for the coming year. The report stated the teachers were needed to over- corne some over crowding throughout the systemn in the elementary schools. The board members refer- red 'the recommendation to the finance committee to be considered -in the 1985-86 budget. The total cost for the first four months has been set at some $60,000. Declining enrolments, the number of smàll schos and the requiremnent to maintain services, such as library time for each school havé ail con- tributed to the problem, states the report. Statistics for the past two years show that an increase- ing problemr mounts in class sizes, compouncled by split grades and even the tripling of grades in some sehools. The Board members in January turned aside a recommendation to hire addi- tional teachers for the re- mainder of this year. jBEEF BONANZA Canada Grade 'A' BLADE ROASI kg3.5lfIb.1. 59 BLADE STEAK kg 3.951 lb. 1.79 *UP TO ½ 2PRICE OFF* ALL BEEF- SMALL LINK SAUSAGE 500 g pkg. 49 each Navel Oranges Product of U.S.A. - Sedless Size 113 Doz 1.99 Hundreds of YeIIow No Name Producis THE SAVINGS ARE YOURS 100% WHOLE WHEAT Dietrich Bread Loaf .69 IDO g FROZEN CELLO -Schneiders BEEF STEAKETTES b.1.79 Canada Red Deliclous FnAPPLES 3 IL bag 1. 19 READ OUR FLYER MAILED TO YOU FOR MANY MORE EXCITING SAVINGS The Pif celà RVÊ ht S RWd& Whitel.
