1 4 Ee ] a es indi BR Fi At SC 3 of TT A Se A DAR RSE 125 in Town Hall 1873 provided the set- ting for the third concert of the subscription series featuring serious works for flute and harp performed by Robert Aitken and Erica Goodman. Aitken and Goodman are both leading Canadian musicians and have performed throughout the world. The programme began with an appropriate "Nocturne' for flute and harp by Nadermann - Tulou. This night song featured a flowing flute melody accompanied by a crisp, refreshing harp part which together created a tranquil mood dotted with sudden, subtle bursts of energy. Robert Aitken followed with the Bach unaccompanied sonata for flute with expertise and virtuostic mastery. The opening adagio was played with impeccable intonation and exceptional breath control. He tackled the allegro vivo with a great deal of double tonguing and gym- nastic leaping over the entire scope of the instrument. The first half of the program was rounded out with "Casilda - Fan- tasie' for flute and harp, by Dop- pler/Zamara. PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, January 28, 1986 - 25 Following the intermission, the program continued with a 'Sonata for flute and harp" by Marjan Mozetich. This exciting new sonata was written in the new Romantic style, using romantic harmony in a "twentieth century style. It included Help is needed for Hospital Auxiliary Report from Public School Trustee by Debbie Tredway Trustee Although the full Board has met only three times since inaugura- tion, I felt it was time to report on Joyce Kelly and my activities, and to relate to you what has been occurring at some of the schools | in Scugog Township. Committees The Board has four standing committees. Mrs. Kelly sits on the Program and Curricular Committee and the Personnel and Ad- ministration Committee. She is also on two other committees, the - Budget/Audit Committee and the Communication Advisory Committee. I am on the Finance Committee and the Property and Transpor- tation Committee. I am also a member of The Family Life Advisory Committee and the Traffic Safety Committee. School Accommodation For Cartwright High School and Epsom Public School Almost immediately following the election Joyce and I became involved on these committees which had been formed earlier in the fall of 1985. Joyce is looking after Cartwright H.S. as the local trustee and I am the local trustee for Epsom Public School. Both committees have finished drafting their respective reports, and we are very happy with the finished products. The main recommendation in both reports is to keep these schools open. Joyce and I strongly believe that these recommenda- tions will be accepted by the full Board. Both School Accommodation Committees will make their reports to the Property and Transportation Committee on February 19th; All community supporters are welcome to attend. Prior to this meeting there will be public meetings to discuss the reports with the communities involved. Epsom Public Meeting Tuesday February 4th at 8:00 p.m. in the old school Cartwright H.S. Public Meeting Thursday February 6th at 7:30 P.M. In The Cartwright Central Public School Gym The following people have put many hours into their reports on behalf of their respective communities. I would like to thank al of them for their time and effort. Cartwright High School Committee Mrs. Marion Murray; Mr. Gordon Paisley; Mr. Harold Wright ; Trustee J. Kelly; Trustee Don Mcllveen; Trustee John Buchanan. Epsom Public School Committee} Mrs. Beth Wilsen; Mrs. Jill Postma; Mr. Don Simmonds; Mrs. Barbara Vale; Trustee Heather Beveridge; Trustee George McLaughlin; Trustee Debbie Tredway. I would also like to thank Superintendent Bill Fairburn for his superb direction and Principal Jim Musselman, Cathy Hamilton and Vice Principal George MacDonald for their input and support. .New School Port Perry Our new school has also been under discussion by the Board. The ! Board decided that by hiring an architect now, plans would be ready when capital grants become available. This will hopefully give us a jump on construction time. The architect will be Michael Ogus of * Oshawa. In the event that funding for 1986 falls short, the Board has agreed in theory, to build the school from the Board's equity reserve fund subject to the Minister of Education's approval. The site has not yet been discussed and I will forward that information to you when it becomes available. Prince Albert The Prince Albert School Advisory Committee is researching the possibility of that school going K-8. A public meeting on this topic will be held Thursday, January 30th at 7:30 at the school. I am thoroughly enjoying the position you elected me to. As you can tell many things are happening in our Scugog schools. I hope this newsletter will be informative. I would appreciate your sugges- tions and concerns. A report on the outcome of some of the aforemen- tioned topics will follow inthe near future. by Luella Graham The Ladies Hospital Auxiliary held their meeting on Monday, January 20th with 14 ladies present on a real nasty day. The meeting opened with all repeating the Auxiliary prayer in unison. As the Secretary was absent the minutes of the last meeting were not read. A good report was given by Pat Taylor, General Treasurer, and Camille Crozier, Tuck Shop Treasurer. Thelma McCreight gave her report and would welcome anyone to help on the Adult Volunteer work, as help there is badly needed. Hazel Coates, Wool Convener, thanked those who had turned in knitting, but we still need more ladies to do knitting, especially baby Historical Society The annual meeting of the Lake Scugog Historical Society was held on Thursday, January 23 at the Railroad House Motel. The financial report was read, along with the financial reports of the museum. Canoe the Nonquon, Pioneer Days, Craft Sale, Yard Sale and the "Throw Draw" -- the main funding raising projects of the Society. It was concluded that the Society, with a lot of hard work, had a good year. The society met it's commitment of money to the museum. President Yvonne Christie resign- ed at the end of her two year term - as she felt that now she was on council, she might run into a conflict of interest in the future. The board accepted this and gave Yvonne -a round of thanks for a very suc- cessful term. A new slate of officers were voted in for 1986. The president for '86 is Joan Scott. Roy Walker Smith and his wife, Lillian, graciously donated a quilt as a fund raising project for 1986. The prime purpose of the Historical Society is the running of the museum. Under law the museum will cease to exist without the Socie- ty. The two sub committees of the ~ Society are Pioneer Days and Canoe The Nonquon. Anyone interested in any of these committees will be warmly welcomed. Just call 985-7014 or if your interest is in the museum itself, call the curator, Len Green at 985-3589. Costs up? Cable TV subscribers in Scugog and Uxbridge may well be looking at increased cable costs in the near future. Compton Cable TV, which serves Port Perry, Prince Albert, Uxbridge and Manchester, has made applica- tion to the CRTC (Canadian Radio- Television Telecommunications Commission) to increase its mon- thly rates by 12 percent for viewers and 26 percent for installation fees. The application to amend the licence would increase the max- imum monthly fee from the present $8.90 to $10.00, and the installation charge would be increased from $27.80 to $35.00 outfits and booties, as we do have more babies all the time. So anyone who can get busy with their knitting needles, it would be greatly ap- preciated. Also call Mary Cannon 985-7137 for information. Anyone looking for birthday or shower gifts or whatever, we do have many lovely articles in our Tuck Shop display. Under new business, there was a lengthy discussion re our Spring Fair which is being on Saturday, April 26th at the Latcham Centre. So with Spring house cleaning just around the corner, we could keep the Spring Fair in mind. The President then closed the meeting and Mary and Luella serv- ed lunch. See you all again Monday, February 17th, St. Patrick's Day. all in your green outfits. : Harmonic concert serious music such attractions as flutter tonguing in the flute and harmonic effects in the harp. The audience was truly treated to the beauty of the harp as Erica Goodman played the Faure "Im- promptu for solo harp, Op86."" An ef- fervescence of sound filled the hall as she performed with great sen- sitivity. The visual effect of the part playing between the hands was sensational. Aitken returned to the Town Hall « stage to round off the programme with two well-known pieces arrang- ed for flute and harp: 'Minuet and Dance of the Blessed Spirits' by "'Badinerie" from the Bach "Suite in B minor." Following a standing ovation, the duo returned to the stage and per- forpyéd the ever-popular classic Clair de Lune' by Debussy - beautiful display of tone wr Sy They returned for a second encore "with "Entr acte' by Ibert - an ex- otic showpiece featuring a sensa- tional dance partnership between flute and piano. This was a concert filled with lyricism and virtuostic artistry... Moe Koffman and his quintet will be performing at the Town Hall 1873 on Saturday, April 5, 1986.
