Sumnmer tiÀi*e and, the eating is healthy The Stutt family: Ross, Jim, Bettie, Paisley, Tracie and Stacie. -On August 3 the town said congratulations to Jim and Bettie Stutt at a retirement tea. Susan Sawyer, on behaif of the BIA organized the tea and open house held at the Town Hall. The tea gave local residents the opportuni- ty ta say tliank you ta Jim for bis 37 years of service. Mayor Hamre, in lier short address said "we owe a lot ta Jîm and Bettie." Jim tld Diane years ago wlien slie was diagnosed with diabetes, "if you are ever stuck, or need anything on a weekend, just cail," and Jim was like that with everyone in tlie vil- lage. In lis address ta Ilie friends gatliered, Jim stated, "I cann't say enough ta Ilie people of Orona. Words cani- flot say enougli ta express my feelings. It's been a life time of enjayment." That feeling was shared by al lie people present. Murray Taylor tld Recent musical tour to Coburg Germany When Orano Weekly imes asked me ta comment on my recent musical performing tour ta Germany with the Concert Band of Cobourg, Ontario, I agreed ta do sa wth pleasure. In early 1995 Bob Reid, trumpeter wth the Cabourg Concert Band, learned that Cobourg Ontario and Coburg Germany were celebrating anniversary occasions In 1997 and 1998 respectively. After many hours of negotia- tions, plans were made for a musical exchange. Bob Red is also the founder of the "Pine Ridge Brass", a quin- tette of exceptional musical abilily that toured with us. The Northumberland girls choir, "La Jeunesse", were a major part of the tour. They performed on several occa- sions before leaving for Vienna where they won their class in world competition. To say that we were well received would be a grass understatement. The German hospitallty was everywhere present. lb would be 50 easy ta divert at this point and dis- cuss Oie politicai and social aspects of Oie tour but that must wait tiIl a later time. Coburg Germany was the centre of aur musical tour. From there we wenî by coach to about ten historical cen- tres where we played musical parades and presented con- eerts. Eacli visit was an event in itself when we received the full officiai reception complele wlth governmenî officials and of course, wonderfi.l food and drink. Coburg Germany has its own Concert Band (Stadtkapelle). It is a band of superb quality.. Coburg Germany also has Its own brass quintette called "Co- Brass". When the Pine Ridge Brass and the Co-Brass met on stage il was the meeting of Iwo of the finest groups you can fmnd anywhere. Ta my mind the highlight of the tour occurred on the stage of the beauliful Rosegarden theatre were the concert bands performed a special performance that included music composed ta commemorate the occasion. The German people enjoy a party. This was exemfplified when a grand social evening was arranged for ali the musi- cians and their friends. Il began with a sit down supper for 200 complele with ail the good German faod one could imagine including those foot- long sausages. Later, enter-- tainiment and dance music were provided by the "Rayais", a 17 piece swing band com- prising members of the Cobourg Ontario Concert Band. I have had the pleasure of playing trombone in these me, "There isn't a person in town that Jim hasn't helped out one way or another." Mrs. Grady said: "Jim would tell you more about the medi- cine than the Doctor." There îs fno doubt that as the 'local pharmacist', Jim will be missed. Il always takes time to break in some- one new. Though Jim lias liad lis own share of health problemns lately, il is lioped that lie will have tlie time to enjoy retire- ment. groups for 20 years. Music in Germany- is very Axnericanized and sa big band presentations were well received. A social time closed the evening - what a partyi We must recognize the hard work and fuil coopera- tion of Mr. Rolly White, musi- cal director of Cobourg Ontario Concert Band and Mr. Herbert Graf director of the Coburg Germany Concert Band. Music is truly the universal language. It is also a means of social and political exchange. It is a source of international friendshiÉp. "Let there be music". Best regards to al Dick Morton 1.
