a A SR RR SA Dianne Brachvogel straightens out one of her v-oodburnings where they are on display at Scugog Memorial Library. See story for details. Woodburning art unusually crafty Woodburning is a craft usually set aside for si *ns. You know the ones--the earthy slabs of pine burned in with "Smith"" or '""Jones" or whatever hanging on mailboxes at the end of driveways. A Whitby artist has brought all new meaning to woodburning, however, and her creative talents are on display now at Scugog Memorial Library. Dianne Brachvogel has always been interested in art and as her drawings and paintings show, she has a genuine feel for nature and realism. But it wasn't until three years ago that she put down her brush and picked up the '"'clumsy" woodburn- ing tool--and started transforming wood into a medium for art. She uses the tool much like any other artist would handle a paint- brush, portraying people and scenery, but mostly wildlife, with lifelike detail. Once an image is burned onto the wood, she adds a lit- tle stain or paint to bring out natural tones and the result is highly original. "I like wood and I like to see wood as a medium for art," she says. "I just like the feel of wood, the look of it. I also like doing nature and the two seém to blend well." Her work will be on display at the library until June 6th, and she will be making a personal appearance Saturday, May 31st to demonstrate her craft from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. ECONO PAK MEAL EVERY FRI.

PORT PERRY 985-9009 PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, May 27, 1986 -- 27 Seagrave and Area News by Marilyn Beacock The Durham Board of Education has certainly figured prominently in the media over the issue of a new school int the Port Perry area. This same group of people were once again in the limelight as approx- imately 50 parents and some teachers representing the Green- bank Public School confronted the Board last Wednesday evening in Oshawa to request once again a much needed General Purpose room for that school. Spokesperson Catherine Galberg of Greenbank is to be congratulated on the prepara- tion of the brief as well as the ex- cellent delivery of her address to the Board. In the brief she mentioned that a few years ago the Greenbank residents had been promised a G.P. room by 1985. As 1986 is almost half over the possibility of a G.P. room remains a far cry from reality at least in the near future. Mrs. Galberg informed the Board Members that the Greenbank children's physical education pro- gram is greatly hampered because of the lack of this much needed facility and as a result their physical education classes, out of necessity, are conducted outdoors and incle- ment weather frequently wreaks havoc with the classes. The students and teachers are to be commended for their tenacity in working around adverse situations as an example it was noted that con- certs, etc. must be held at the Sunderland Town Hall because the school does not have a room large enough to practice in, never mind actually staging the event and ac- comodating the guests. The Green- bank Hall has long since proven to be too small to accomodate the ever increasing amount of attendance at these affairs so hence the'use of the Sunderland facility. It was the general consensus of the delegation that although they The Quilters Cupboard were indeed sympathetic to the con- tinuous straih on the boards budget and the needs of other schools it was felt that the residénts have been complacent for the past 26 years of this present school's life and they are not willing to remain pacified by being shuffled from one priority list to another with no sign of any positive action. With the rapid development of subdivisions and new homes in the area the strain on our school system will be even greater. Perhaps our governments should more careful- ly comtemplate the allocation of land use for subdivisions until ade- quate school facilities are established. The Board of Stewards are mak- ing plans for a yard sale to be held at the Seagrave United Church on Sat. June 14. In addition to the yard sale the U.C.W. will be sponsoring a Bake Sale as well. If you have any articles to donate towards the sale they would be very gratefully ap- preciated. For further information please call Donna Kent at 985-2126. Proceeds from both the Yard Sale and the Bake Sale will be used to keep our church financially viable. Please support this event. Hats off to our two S.S. Superintendents Mrs. Diane Knut- son and Mrs. Ellen Brdce who organized one of the most successful S.S. Anniversary's that I've seen for some time. Our church sanctuary was filled to the brim which in itself was terrific but what was most spec- tacular was our guest speaker Mrs. Beaulah Buchwald of Oshawa who captured the attention of both young, old and all of us in between with her singing, wit and humour not to mention all of her little pup- pet friends which had the kids and the adults totally captivated.

Thanks Kristy, you were wonderful! We wish to extend sympathy to the husband and family of the late Mrs. Minnie Diamond of Greenbank who passed away last week follow- ing many years of being ill. We sincerely appreciated the flowers placed in the sanctuary on Sunday in memiory of this very dear soul. Many thanks to Mildred Puckrin and Shirley Barr who also placed some lovely spring bouquets in the church for this occasion. The Red Measles and also Chicken Pox have strickened many of our little folks in the area recent- ly. We hope they will soon be on the mend once again. Speaking of kids it seems that the excitement of summer holidays just _ around the corner is affecting many but first, kids, are those exams for those of you who didn't quite make the exemption list so let's knuckle down to some heavy studying now and you'll soon be finished for another year. Good luck to all of you! A couple of dates I'd like you to keep in mind are the Greenbank S.S. Anniversary on Sun. June 1 at 11:00 a.m. with special guest speaker Rev. Lillian Roberts of Sebright Pastoral Charge and on Sunday June 8 at 11:00 the Pinedale United Church will be hosting their S.S. An- niversary with Rev. Alan McLean of Woodville Pastoral Charge. Hope you'll be able to join them and help in the celebration of these events. Services at Seagrave will not be held again until Sunday, June 15 when they will resume at 9:30 a.m. Deepest sympathy is extended to the family and friends of the late Miss Kim Perrin who passed away' last week following a serious illness. It is heartbreaking to see such a pro- mising young life snuffed out just as it is beginning to unfold.
