TOWNSHIPS WEEK - September 27 - October 4, 1996 - 2 TALK OF THE TOWNSHIPS Mucking about in the mists of pre-history An archeologist is the best husband a woman can have; the older she gets, the more interested he is in her.Agatha Christie Gérard Leduc of Mansonville has been turning over rocks in the Townships for more than a decade and finding interesting things.Who’s Who By Tadeusz Letarte Inspired by Barry Fell’s America B.C., which claims Celts crossed the Atlantic and colonized New England as much as a thousand years before Christ, Leduc explored stone piles in Potton and found cairns that appear to mark cremation burial sites of ancient Celts.The well-known ‘Indian Stone’ in Potton, he believes, bears an inscription in Irish Ogam.Mansonville would have been at the head of a portage to Memphremagog on the main canoe route between Lake Champlain and the Connecticut Valley.Leduc’s latest find, as announced in Le Devoir on Aug.15, is a drawing of a sea serpent marked with Norse runes from the 11th Century, about the time Vikings settled at L’Anse aux Meadows.It is difficult to believe these intrepid explorers did not follow the North Shore inland to see what this great fiord had to offer.Possible Viking traces have been found near Baie Comeau and a Viking silver penny from the 11th Century at an Indian village site on the coast of Maine.Mucking about in the mists of pre-history is great fun because nothing is certain and your guess is as good as the next guy’s.But before you bury any more stones, look carefully, those marks may not have been made by a plow share but by an ancient European trying to tell you something.Plav-in-progress should return next year No disputing it, Megantic Outlaw musical’s a hit No desperado steeped in deeds Of violence was he; An honest Scot, he stoutly fought For home and liberty -

TOWNSHIPS WEEK - September 27 - October 4, 1996 - 3 TALK OF THE TOWNSHIPS____________________________ 35 places to ski in the Eastern Townships Verity publishes cross-country skiers dream book ;i : .Barbara Verity has been skiing in the Townships for the past 36 years.Barbara Verity cuts a special cake depicting the cover of her book at its launch at Uplands Museum in Lennoxville on Monday.By Kathy Mercier LENNOXVILLE - Crosscountry skiiers now have a new guide to add to their wish-list.35 Places to Cross County Ski in the Eastern Townships, by local ski enthusiast Barbara Verity, was launched Monday at Uplands Museum in Lennoxville.Verity, who has worked as a freelance travel writer for magazines and the Gazette, was also a reporter then editor of the Record and the Townships Sun.Raised in Montreal then moving to the Townships to go to Bishops, Verity joined the Record right out of school in 1964.PERFECT START Doing a wide variety of stories such as features, hard news, theartre, “The Record was a perfect way to start my career,” she said.But feature stories were Verity’s main point of interest.“I got to meet interesting people,” “I learned to work fast, get the facts.” Being a relative newcomer to the Townships, working at the Record also provided a chance for Verity to meet the community.“Working at the Record set the tone of my career.” Writing “35 Paces to Cross County Ski in the Eastern Townships” allowed Verity to do an in-depth travel story, which can be difficult for an article, and to fill a void in the travel guide industry.“I’ve done travel writing,” she explained, “but couldn’t get into depth.I wanted to do something with more depth.” “I also found there was no exisiting cross-country skiing guide for the Townships.” According to Verity, there are skiing guides available at locations such as tourism centres.Unfortuneatly, they are mainly to describe centres across Quebec, therefore may have only nine listing for the Townships.Verity’s 36 years of skiing in the Eastern Townships prepared her for last winter’s research.“I skiied at least one trail for all of them,” said Verity, “except for two, which I walked, because of rain.” Her research also meant that Verity stayed very fit.“I would ski at two or three places per week.” Finding places to ski required a bit of research too.“I’d find places through-friends, articles, listings, as well as talking to other skiers.” The guide itself will make discovering new trails a pleasure for beginners and advanced cross-country skiers.The book lists ski trails alphabetically by town or by mountain.Each listing includes valuable information such as difficulty level, rates, facilities, number of warm-up huts, length and nearby restaurants and lodging.The listings also include a map, as well as a description of how to get there and how long it will take from Sherbrooke and Montreal.This information is handy for tourists as well as those who might not venture out of their own neck of the woods.An interesting feature in this book is a brief description of the trails.Verity has taken the time to find out who runs the trail, as well a brief local history of the trail or community.In the description of the trail in Saint-Denis-de-Bromption, there is an amusing anecdote involving fresh ski tracks, a ski, a boot, and a blind mole.For those wanted a little more out of a skiing exur-sion, there is a listing of trails by interesting themes.Here readers will find where to enjoy wine-tasting, visit a copper mine, bird-watch, and skiing by torck or moonlight.Other listings will allow skiers to discover where to ski for free, for easy or hard trails, when there is little snow, and centres that offer repair and rentals, to name a few.This is Verity’s second book, her first being “A Community with Deep Roots,” which was a history of the Townshipper’s Association, but will not be her last.“I have a lot of ideas.” she said, but prefers not to be too specific at the moment.“It’s better to keep them floating up there.” Being an outdoors entusi-ast, Verity said her ideas include writing about outdoors activités, and more guides about the Townships.“35 Places to Cross Country Ski in the Eastern Townships,” whose first publication had 1000 copies, will be available at La Randonnée sports store in Sherbrooke, the Book Nook in Sutton, the Homestead and Tri-Us in Lennoxville, and Le Baron in North Hatley.It will also be found is some book stores in Montreal, Ottawa, and Vermont.A French version, translated by Louise Cousineau, will be available by mid-October.Barbara Verity’s book is a great find for skiers and nonskiers alike.For those who love to ski, the guide will surely help enthusiasts to find new skiing adventures.For those who have yet to pick up a ski pole, “35 Places to Cross Country Ski in the Eastern Townships” is a well thought out and well explained guide that is fun to flip through that just might create an interest in this winter outdoor activity.LIVE TONIGHT: charge open daily to 156 Queen St., Lennoxville • (819) 823-6538 The Record - TOWNSHIPS WEEK - September 27 - October 4, 1996 - 4 THEATRE Dance musical winning over Stratford audiences The Music Man: A big show with a big heart I rouhu! Oh mv rr got 1 nmhie Right hen in Rim ( it} ’ W ith tt capital 1 amt thaï rftywtf with 1* mut that statut* far i\u*V M , • *; Dirk Lumbard stars as Harry Hill in Stratford’s bright, colorful production of The Music Man.By Sunil Mahtani STRATFORD, ONT.- The most impressive scene in the Stratford Festival’s production of The Music Man takes place at a footbridge.Harry Hill, a smooth-talking con man who is taking the naive residents of River City, Iowa, for a ride with one of his schemes, is about to rendez-vous with Marian Paroo, the distrustful town librarian who finds herself falling for his charms.The scene begins with a young boy and girl singing while playing hopscotch, then it flows into starry-eyed teenagers waltzing around the bridge before the adults appear.But Harry is not the fast-talking huckster he usually is.He’s fallen in love with Marian and, for the first time in his life, does not have a precalculated move to make.It is an effective scene, complemented by soft lighting, trees surrounding the footbridge and steam rising from the suggestion of a pond below.Just as water flows beneath the bridge, this scene depicts the flow of life and relationships.It is pretty and lyrical and, in effect, sums up what this show is all about: How music, faith and, ultimately, love can drastically alter lives.It certainly did for the writer-composer of The Music Man, Meredith Willson, who based the show on his experiences growing up in Mason City, Iowa.Willson played the flute for most of his life and his belief in the power of music transcends the play.The Music Man is not the greatest dance musical of all time, but it has as big a heart as you’re likely to find.Willson’s labor of love features the touching transformations of a shy child who speaks with a lisp, a swindler who lets his guard down, a leery librarian who gives in to her romantic spirit and an entire town of people who want to believe they can change so badly they’ll buy into anything to make their dreams come true.It is 1912 and slippery salesman Harry Hill breezes into another Small Town, America, with his usual con: To galvanize the locals into thinking they desperately need a boy’s band to keep their kids off the streets and away from “sins” like pool.Hill will sell them instruments and uniforms and promise to teach their kids music.Of course, he doesn’t know one note from the next and plans to take the money and run.That all changes after he meets the good people of River City, who may be gullible but their faith can move mountains.After a somewhat slow start for such a big musical, The Music Man went into full gear with the dizzying “Ya Got Trouble” and the exuberant “Seventy-Six Trombones”, the most enduring number from the show.Debra Hanson’s set and costume design is particularly effective in The Music Man.The set is simple, with suggestions of tree-lined streets, white picket fences and clapboard homes.The costumes start off pale and conservative, then slowly get more and more colorful as Hill’s influence on the townsfolk begins to show.It is a beautiful outer representation of their inner metamorphosis.The Stratford musical duo of director-choreographer Brian MacDonald and musical director Berthold Carrière once again strike pay dirt with this crowd-pleasing show.One objection, though, is that the actors weren’t always audible in the expansive Festival Theatre.Its thrust stage poses a constant challenge for any production mounted there since the actors’ backs are almost always facing a section of the audience.MacDonald deserves kudos, however, for assembling a terrific cast this time around.Dirk Lumbard has the unenviable task of living up to a role immortalized by the wonderful late actor Robert Preston.However, the lanky, likable Lumbard is perfect for the role, and brings his own sense of mischief to Harry Hill.Unfortunately, Lumbard rushes his songs a touch and, although his voice is a fine one, at times the music overpowers it.June Crowley makes her Stratford debut with a solid performance as the librarian who believes Hill has “hoodwinked” the townsfolk.Danny Austin has been stealing scenes away from the principals at Stratford for five seasons, and he does no different in The Music Man.As River City’s ‘problem child’, Austin is pure dynamite.It is rare to find an actor who is equally strong in all three disciplines required to master the musical genre - acting, singing and dancing - but Austin can do it all exceedingly well, with a mix of boyish charm and sex appeal that works every time.Austin can clearly carry a show and it’s about time Stratford programmers give him the lead in one.Austin and Cara Hunter upstaged the leads in last year’s The Boy Friend each time they were on stage.The fabulous dancers are paired here once again and the chemistry still sizzles.Karen K.Edissi and Eric Donkin, who were also paired in The Boy Friend, are teamed again here as the bewildered mayor and his boozing wife.Although these characters don’t generate many sparks between the veteran actors, Edissi is once again hilarious in a gem of a role.Whether she’s the drunk Statue of Liberty at the town’s Fourth of July celebrations, falling over herself while taking dancing lessons or barreling across the stage in a ballet sequence, Edissi sparkles.The audience loves her and it’s easy to see why.She’s a natural comic actor who seems to be having as much fun with her role as viewers are watching her.Jacqueline Blais is a classy addition to the cast as Marian’s mother.The veteran actor is making her Stratford debut here, and will be familiar to Townshippers who saw Theatre Lac Brome’s Cabaret.The Music Man continues in repertory through Nov.3 at the Stratford Festival in Stratford, Ont.For more information or complete program schedule, call 1-800-567-1600.Win a thrilling weekend for two at the SRATFORD FESTIVAL in beautiful Stratford, Ontario Friday to Sunday, October 25-27,1996 • Spend two nights at the Swan Motel relaxing in a tranquil country setting five minutes from downtown.You'll enjoy its beautifully landscaped grounds, outdoor pool and start each day with coffee and homemade muffins.• See two of the Stratford Theatre Festival’s biggest hits of the year -

By Linda Galeazzi HEMMINGFORD Question: How long does it take for a mother to recuperate from a trip to Parc Safari when the trip is made with two small children in a car with no air conditioning on an unseasonably warm early September day?The answer should be obvious: Parc Safari officially closed Sept.12 and only now am I able to report on my journey.I first made the trip in the early 70s as a six-year-old.Back then, you couldn’t roll down your windows because all of the wild animals roamed free, including those considered dangerous.We had no air conditioning (some things never change), it was scorching hot outside, even hotter inside and every time we tried to let the slightest bit of precious air into the car, a voice from above would order us to roll up our windows — now! I was properly fascinated by the wild animals, but went into panic mode when hundreds of flying monkeys right out of The Wizard of Oz descended upon our car, shrieking and pulling at the windshield wipers.Okay, so maybe they weren’t really flying monkeys and maybe there weren’t exactly hundreds of them, but I was six years old, after all.I’m happy to report that Parc Safari has improved considerably.Today, the more dangerous animals - lions, bears, the dreaded monkeys and so on - are in a separate paddock and can be viewed from a pedestrian walkway.Only the car-friendly animals roam free.Because of these changes, visitors can not only roll down their windows, they can now hang right out of an open van waving carrot sticks and video cameras.This pleased the kids, but I got impatient as we waited behind a stream of cars full of people who just couldn’t get enough shots of little Jimmy feeding the bulls.“How many bison do you have to see before you get blasé about it?” I wondered, as we inched forward in the car.Luckily, there is plenty to do besides cruising through the animal reserve.The rapids at the water park were great fun.We went down twice and I would have gone a third time, except no one wanted to go with me.I would’ve felt a little silly paddling and shrieking excitedly without the company of a three-year-old.All of the kids enjoyed the simulated monkey habitat, where they were able to climb, swing, jump, roll and crawl in safety, away from their parents’ grasp.The amusement park was also a big hit.You’d be amazed at how many times a kid can ride the merry-go-round before it loses its novelty.If you make the trip to Hemmingford next summer, you’ll find it’s a little costly to get in, but the majority of the attractions are free once you’re inside.There is a huge picnic area so you can bring your own food.The prices on fast food and souvenirs are reasonable (if anyone was there on Sept.5 found a cute little Parc Safari baseball cap near the monkey area, it belongs to my son) and the staff is friendly, helpful and bilingual.There is also a variety of interesting educational programs, displays and shows on animals and their habitats as well as endangered species.Elephant and pony rides are also available.There’s no doubt about it: Parc Safari is the best spot north of Kansas to see lions and tigers and bears - oh my!

Amore! will feature pieces relating to the kinder, gentler four-letter word.“We have Aaron Copland’s Appalachian Spring, which has to do with love.It’s a couple who meet and get married in the Appalachians,” said O’Keeffe.“We’re doing something from Mozart’s Marriage of Figaro, which has to do with love, Rodrigo’s The Four Mandrigals of Love, and we finish off with the Czech composer Dvorak’s Serenade For Strings.” O’Keeffe admits the latter has nothing to do with Valentine’s Day.“It’s absolute music.It’s not associated with love or anything.” “But it’s very, very beautiful and people will love it,” she said with a laugh.Singing the Four Mandrigals of Love by Spanish composer Joaquim Rodrigo will be internationally known soprano Lyne Comtois.For the chamber orchestra’s last concert of the season, Our Artists In Concert, local musicians will be the featured soloists.O’Keeffe said the April concert will be an unusual one.“The first half is baroque and classical, and the second half is kind of jazzy,” she said.Opening the concert will be Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto no.4 for flute and orchestra, featuring flautists Marie Bergeron and Annick Lessard, both members of the orchestra.For Mozart’s Symphonie Concertante for violin and viola, husband and wife Céline Arcand on violin and Jean René on viola will share the spotlight.The second half will comprise two French composers -Darius Milhaud’s La creation du monde and Jacques François Antoine Ibert’s Divertissement.“These are kind of jazzy, light, interestingly orchestrated pieces for a small orchestra,” said O’Keeffe.“So we finish off on a light touch.” All four concerts will be conducted by Gilles Auger.They are available in a subscription series for $80, which includes a free ticket to any concert by the Sherbrooke Wind Ensemble.Three concerts will be presented by the Wind Ensemble at Centennial Theatre in Lennoxville this season, beginning with a Christmas concert and ending with an ode to the ocean.The middle show, however, will be the centrepiece of the season: Symphony No.1 by Johann De Meij is based on The Lord of the Rings, the trilogy by J.R.R.Tolkien charting the conflict between good and evil in a place called the Middle Earth.The trio of Wind Ensemble shows, conducted by René Joly, are not available as a subscription, and must be purchased individually.For more information, or to purchase tickets, call 820-1000 or visit the box office at the Centre Culturel.K k b k www.f©sk“detente.

presentation of the Country Music Association Awards will be a big night for both performers and fans.It will be broadcast on CBS-TV at 8 p.m.on October 2 from The Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, Tennessee.Vince Gill will host the ceremony which will include performances by a star-studded lineup.Gill himself has a record -setting seven nominations out of the 12 major awards.One surprise of the evening is that the newest face in Music City, 14-year-old LeAnn Rimes, will be making her CMA Awards debut performing her huge hit “Blue.” Rimes is the youngest artist ever nominated for a CMA award and she’s up both for Single of The Year and the Horizon Award.This year, it is very hard to pinpoint who the winners will be, since in every category the nominees are the top of the crop.Just for the fun of it, here are my predictions: I must admit it is very hard to dissociate personnal preferences from the facts, so I’ll start with Entertainer of The Year.Nominated are Brooks & Dunn, Garth Brooks, Vince Gill, Alan Jackson and George Strait.My heart is 100 per cent for George Strait, but Brooks & Dunn will most likely take this one home and become Pam Tillis.will she lose out to Martina McBride?Country Connection By Jessie Aulis the first duo to ever win this award.Male Vocalist of The Year nominees are Vince Gill, Alan Jackson, Collin Raye, George Strait and Bryan White.I don’t think that either Raye or White are due for this award yet.Strait should get it but Jackson will most likely get it for keeping country true to its roots while sounding very contemporary.Female Vocalist of the Year nominees are Faith Hill, Patty Loveless, Martina McBride, Pam Tillis and Shania Twain.I’d say it’s a little early for Hill and Loveless’ impact wasn’t big enough this year.My vote goes to McBride, who had a terrific past year, joining the Grand Ole Opry, starring in her own TNN special and success on the road.Nominees for the Horizon Award are Terri Clark, Wade Hayes, LeAnn Rimes, Shania Twain and Bryan White.Rimes only has one hit under her belt, while Twain is way too successful for this category.Clark, on the other hand, made a huge leap with her career this year so she will probably be the lucky winner.Clark is also Canadian.Vocal Group of The Year nominees are Alabama, BlackHawk, Diamond Rio, The Mavericks and Sawyer Brown.Fairly simple.They all deserve it, but everyone is a little sick of seeing Alabama win, so I will pick The Mavericks because of their originality and the freshness ’ " • ::: K > % Brooks & Dunn.most likely take Entertainer of the Year.they bring to country music.Vocal Duo of The Year nominees are Baker & Myers, Bellamy Brothers, Brooks & Dunn, Sweethearts of the Rodeo and John & Audrey Wiggins.Brooks & Dunn are the sure winners of this one because as duos go, no other comes close.Album of the Year nominees are Blue Clear Sky, George Strait (MCA), Borderline, Brooks & Dunn (Arista Nashville), High Lonesome Sound, Vince Gill (MCA), The Trouble With The Truth, Patty Loveless (Epic), Wild Angels, Martina McBride (RCA).Any of these five albums would deserve to win.They’re all great.I find this is one of the most competitive categories, but I’ll cast my vote for Blue Clear Sky by George Strait, one of the most successful releases in the field.Single of the Year nominees are “Blue”, LeAnn Rimes, “Check Yes or No”, George Strait, “Go Rest High On That Mountain”, Vince Gill, “My Maria”, Brooks & Dunn and “Time Marches On”, Tracy Lawrence.“Blue” is surely the biggest country single since “Achy Breaky Heart”, very popular with both fans and radio programmers.So “Blue” it is.Vocal Event of the Year nominees are Dolly Parton and Vince Gill, “I Will Always Love You”, George Jones and Tammy Wynette, “One”, Jeff Foxworthy and Alan Jackson, “Redneck Games”, Marty Stuart and Travis Tritt, “Honky Tonkin’s What I Do Best”, and Reba McEntire with guests Trisha Yearwood, Martina McBride, Linda Davis, “On My Own”.Here it’s a toss-up between the reunion of four golden voices or the humor of Foxworthy backed-up by Jackson’s huge talent.Since we all need and want to laugh so much, I say the victory will go to Foxworthy and Jackson.Song of The Year nominees are “Any Man of Mine”, Shania Twain, “Check Yes or No”, George Strait, “Go Rest High On That Mountain”, Vince Gill, “Keeper of the Stars” Bryan White and “Time Marches On” Tracy Lawrence.Vince Gill should get this one.The song is very emotional, paying a tribute to his late brother and to the late, great Keith Whitley.Music Video of the Year nominees are “Check Yes or No”, George Strait, “Go Rest High On That Mountain”, Vince Gill, “My Maria”, Brooks & Dunn, “My Wife Thinks You’re Dead”, Junior Brown and “Redneck Games”, Jeff Foxworthy and Alan Jackson.No questions asked.George Strait should get it.Strait’s videos are fresh and rare, making this very valuable.Out of 12 guesses, I sure hope I have at least 10 good answers.Anyway, I had fun doing it and you should check your own predictions and see if we agree.Highlights of this ceremony should be a special presentation inducting three new members to the Country Music Hall of Fame: Patsy Montana, Buck Owens and Ray Price.As a special treat, Buck Owens and Dwight Yoakam will perform together and so will Ray Price and Kris Kristofferson.I’m positive producers have kept many more surprises in store for us on this edge-of-your-seat night.Have a nice week and stay country.\Alan Jackson.1“Redneck Games” duo with Jeff Foxworthy win?STEAMATIC SiNCf If the total cleaning service
