HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Lucknow Sentinel, 1993-05-05, Page 7Interlink concert mixes generations
The elderly are frail and grouchy
and the kids today rude and dis-
respectful. The two groups very
rarely mix in our communities
today.
These 'stereotypes and others will
be destroyed for all those who
attend the Wednesday, May 12
Interlink concert in Wingham
Sacred Heart Church and see the
two generations merge in song and
friendship.
The Grade 4 and 5 .students of
Wingham Sacred Heart School and
the seniors from the Wingham and
Area Seniors Day Centre have
developed lasting friendships that
disregard the differences in ages
that alienate so many of our com-
munity's elders through the heart of
music, letter -writing and rehearsals.
The magic mixture which has
brought thein together is the
Canadian Mental Health As-
sociations's Interlink program.
Established in 1987, the program
has spread into communities across
500 exhibits •
displayed at
science fair
On Apr. 21, the Bruce County
Regional Science and Technology
Fair was held in the Davidson
Centre, Kincardine.
Some 500 exhibits were presented
by 600 elementary and secondary
students from the Public and
Separate schools of Bruce County.
Virtually all the Life and Physical
Science disciplines were
represented. There were also several
Technology -related displays, as well
as inventions in the new, elemen-
tary Young Inventors category. All
who attended the fair were
impressed by the calibre of work
and innovation displayed by) so
many of our Bruce County youth.
Three students were selected to
proceed onward to the Canada-
Wide- Science Fair in Trois
Rivieres, Quebec. These were:
Sandra Keith, a senior secondary
student at Chesley District High
School, for her project involving the
"Extraction : of Inulin form
Chicory"; Christy Cunningham, a
senior student. at Bruce. Peninsula S.
S., for her examinations. of
"Planetary Nebulas" and Rachel
Bray, an intermediate student at
Bruce Peninsula Elementary School,
for her research presentation regar-
ding "Winter Frost Heaving' on
Roads."
All three young ladies are to be
commended on the excellence of
their research and presentations: the
Judging committee simply could not
narrow down choices any further
and elected to send all three on-
wards. Certainly, the laudable trend
towards encouraging women in
science and technology seems alive
and well in Bruce.
--- - Another -item -of -special-interest is
that this is Ms Cunningham's fifth
overall win in a row, as well as the
fifth time in a row that she will
exhibit at the Canada -Wide Fair.
Locally, Alicia Thacker of Luck -
now Central received the Ministry
of Natural Resources Conservation
award for her project on nests.
Ontario with great success and
enth asiasm.
Founder and project , director,
Selma Edelstone,, will be attending
the final concert on May 12 to
celebrate in song and speech with
the talented seniors and students of
Wingham. This very dynamic lady
organized the program which
introduces the students and seniors
to each other through an exchange
of penpal letters and culminates in
the presentation of a public concert.
The Wingham seniors and
students began rehearsing separately
this fall. Their Christmas party in
December was the first time that
they met in person. In the three
months prior to the Christmas party,
penpal letters were exchanged on a
regular basis so that the two groups
could get acquainted. Penpals met
again in February for a Valentines
Day party and since April have
been rehearsing together for the
May 12 concert.
On May 12 those lucky enough to
be in the audience of the Wingham
Sacred Heart Church at 7:30 pm
will not only hear a harmony of
voices but a harmony of spirit that
gives a sense of belonging and
warmth to the seniors and a loving,
encouraging relationship to the
students.
Through the course of the letter -
writing, meeting and rehearsing, the
students have learned that seniors
are not frail but active and interes-
ting people that have a lot to share.
The seniors in turn. give their atten-
tion and encouragement to the
students which enhances their self-
esteem and sense of self-worth. It is
a project that gives to both as well
as to the lucky audience who wit-
nesses the happiness and harmony
they have created as they suc-
cessfully bridge the generation gap
of young at heart and young in
body.
Everyone is invited to attend, this
event. Donations are encouraged to
cover the cost of expenses and the
refreshments available to all.
Unique show comes to Blyth
Imagine a universe of sound.
A stage full of musical instru-
ments.
A man. A woman.
TV, antennas.
TV antennas?
Well, not really but that's what
some of the strange instruments
used by L'Arsenal d Musique look
like.
A multitude of different instru-
ments are used' on stage, some of
them familiar such as the guitar,
drums and xylophone.
Others are distinctly odd, even
though they are made from every
day materials. - in fact, Reggi and
Lorena (who together comprise
L'Arsenal d Musique) call them
`sound sculptures'.
L'Arsenal d Musique has per-
formed to high acclaim in Canada,
the United States, and Korea (where.
they participated in the International
Society for Music Education confer-
ence). Their performances are
rhythmic, colorful, and lively, the
music interspersed with stories and
songs. The children respond by
laughing, singing, dancing, applaud-
ing - all with great enthusiasm.
L'Arsenal . d Musique brings it
unique show to Clinton on Friday
May 7 at 7 p.m., at the Clinton
Town Hall auditorium. Tickets may ..
be bought at the door.
This is, the final performance in
the series organized by Theatre
pour vous, an adjunct of Canadian
Parents for French. We invite all
students and their families to attend
- after all, music is a universal
language, understood by all.
