4 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, Wednesday, June24,1992 Section Two What's Happening Big Band Sounds Come to Bowmanville on July 9th Durham Christian H.S. Students Present Festive Praise Concert by Coby Veenstra On Thursday, June 4 the music department department of Durham Christian High, joined together in an evening called "Festive Praise". The evening was introduced introduced and closed by two DCHS alumni and past choir and band members, members, Michelle Schicvink and Jason Rekker. There was some excellent singing by the choir. Fittingly enough, they opened their repertoire with contemporary contemporary composer, Allen Pole's triumphant triumphant hymn, "Festive Praise" and his anthem, "I Will Life Up Mine Eyes." These pieces were particularly meaningful meaningful to the choir since Allen Pole was both adjudicator and massed choir director at the All-Ontario Christian Christian High School Choir Festival this spring. The quietly worshipful "In Mercy Hear Us" by Beethoven and Maxine Posegate's "Grant Us They Peace" were followed by the vocal ensemble (a small group drawn from the choir), HERMAN "He had to give up the shoe-repair business." James Publishing Printers Since 1854 68 King St. W., Bowmanville 633-3303 singing the spiritual, "Someone Knockin' At Your Door" and a full choir rendition of Aaron Copeland's arrangement of the old Gospel hymn, "Shall We Gather At The River." Back to the music of Allen Pole, the choir sang "Many Gifts, One Spirit" and then two favorite spirituals, "Joshua "Joshua Fit the Battle of Jericho" and "Swing Low". The refrain of Simon and Garfun- kcl's "Scarboro Fair" ("The Sound of Silence") never fails to reduce an audience audience to moved and thoughtful quiet, and this night was no exception. Then the vocal famous ensemble sang the English folk song, "Somwhere Out There" made by Fievel in "American Tail." The choir closed its section of the performance with the much loved English folk song, "Early One Morning" Morning" and John Rutter's "The Fiddler Man." The Durham band has come a very long way surprise since its beginning and the audience enjoyed the pleasant surprise of a really excellent performance. performance. A flawless execution of selected selected numbers from Andrew Lloyd Webber's Webber's "Phantom of the Opera", Longfield's "Bayside March" and Henley and Sibar's' "Wind Beneath My Wings" with vocalist Danielle Vermeer were received with enthu siasm. The faithful attendance of eight o'clock rehearsals twice a week, ccr- taiply paid off. The band consists of a few senior students, but by far the majority majority arc grade nine and ten students, with a few special members from elementary elementary school. (Two from Knox, one of whom, Jcssicit Hicmslra, played a short but flawlessly executed oboe solo and one from Immanuel, Oshawa.) These facts made their excellent excellent performance of the grade 12 level concert piece, "Main Street March" by Roger Cichy, so exciting. Well done too, were William Hines' "Creed" with trumpet solo by Andrew Zwart and the ever loved "Spinning Wheel" by David Clayton Thomas. This last piece was directed by band member Anita Klompmaker, DCH's one and only band OAC student. The Jazz ensemble, some of whom are band members and who practise every Wednesday at eight a.m., also performed excellently with opportunity opportunity for solos by several of their members, members, • including excellent guitar by Pieter Kooger and equally excellent keyboard by Ellen Brumwcll. It was most gratifying to observe such talent among these young people, people, especially when they were using it tOxpraisc their Lord, as they were this evening, in ALL their music.

Memorial Hospital received a check-up from a group of American medical students last Friday, June 19. The students --'all members of the American Medical Student Association Association - were on a four-day visit to Canada to study our health care system. , Their trip took them to Toronto, where they had a chance to visit large urban clinics and hospitals. But, the group also wanted to see how a community hospital functions. functions. And that's why Memorial Hospital Bowmanville was on the itinerary. Dr. Denis Mahar, a family physician physician from California, travelled with the students. He said during the stop in Bowmanville that the group likes what it has seen of the Canadian health care system. "Health care reform is a big issue in the United States right now. À lot of people are looking to Canada for solutions," he explained. "Your system is much simpler than ours," said Dr. Mahar. As one example of the complexities in the health care system south of the border, border, Dr. Mahar pointed out that there are about 1,500 different insurance insurance forms in the US. The students found the Canadian system to be equal in calibre to what can be found in the United States. However, the American system is based on the concept of health care provided by private enterprise. The students visiting Bowmanville were impressed by the Canadian notion notion that health care is a right, not a privilege. The American Medical Student Association, which has a member ship of about 30,000, supports the concept of establishing a national health insurance or health care program program providing quality care for everyone, everyone, regardless of their ability to pay and/or geographic location. The students plan to take back the information they have gathered from their Canadian visit and distribute distribute it to their colleagues in the association.
