Village Squire, 1978-03, Page 47PEOPLE
Bornholm does not exactly seem like a
broadcasting capital but Karl Schuessler
may put it on the map. Mr. Schuessler
travelled to Washington D.C. recently to
pick up one of the pretigious Ohie State
Awards for a documentary radio show he
wrote called Bob Harrington, the Chaplain
of Brourbon Street. The show was aired
originally back in 1976 as part of CBC FM's
The Authority of the Church series,
produced by Max Allen. It deals with the
life and work of Bob Harrington a widely
known minister. Mr. Harrington told his
own story for the show and when he heard
the final tape of the show before it went on
air was so impressed that he bought the
rights to the show so he could make it into
his 27th long-playing album. The show
includes excerpts of his preaching, the
reaction of his followers and a discussion
with his wife.
The citation that goes with the award
says the program is a prime example of
how the power and force of a single human
being can mesmerize, persuade, enrapture
and instil a love of others. It captured the
essence of the man and Mr. Schuessler
added to the effect with his provocative
dialogue with Mr. Harrington.
Mr. Schuessler is also up for another
award. He was nominated by the Toronto
branch of ACTRA for the award for best
documentary writer on radio for his show
Sherbrooke Stones and also, with Len
Scher for the best documentary writer on
radio for The World of the Sports Writer.
Who says Bornholm isn't a major
broadcasting centre.
If supper had been earlier, Alex Henry
might not have known he had just won
$100,000 in a recent Wintario draw. Mr.
Henry. a Milverton resident, had some
time to kill before supper so leafed through
a book of tickets to check them with the
winning numbers from the draw the day
before. He noticed that two digits of his
numbers matched, then a split second later
realized the whole number matched. It was
a quick $100,000. His wife Reta, he said,
didn't even know he had a ticket. He plans
to invest the money.
There were some coincidences for those
who keep track of these things. The book of
tickets was the second one he'd ever
bought, the winning ticket was the second
one in the book. the draw was the second
day of the second month and the book was
the second one in the pile carried by the
man who sold him the ticket. Feb. 2 was
also his father's birthday.
JANET AMOS may not be a local
Western Ontario girl, but she's one of the
most familiar actresses to local audiences
and her face is getting to be pretty familiar
across Canada too. Miss Amos first came
to the notice of local audiences through her
frequest tours with Theatre Passe Muraille
in such vehicles as The Farm Show. But
today she's even better known for her
starring role in the television hit
mini-series A Gift to Last. The success of
the series has caused a pleasant problem
for Miss Amos: trying to find time for all
the work she'd like to do. She'll be
appearing this year at the Shaw Festival in
Niagara -on -the -Lake and also will be busy
filming the new episodes of A Gift to Last
for next season. She'd also like to squeeze
in another stint as a director at the Blyth
Summer Festival if the timing was right.
Her schedule can't be any tighter than
last yeir though. Besides the filming for
the television series, she was in Blyth to
direct Jim Schaefer's Blyth Memorial
History show. After the opening perform-
ance instead of attending a party with the
rest of the cast, she and her husband Ted
Johns (a Mitchell native) returned to
Toronto where she gave birth the next day
to a baby.
Roy MacAdams has gone a long way to
come home. A native of Hay township near
Exeter he was recently appearing in the
area with his partner Helen Dnguay in the
group You and Me. Mr. MacAdams went
to school in Exeter and Clinton and studied
music in Zurich and learned to play the
saxophone with help from blind trumpeter
Grant Edighoffer of Zurich. He picked up
the guitar during a four year stint in the air
force then worked in various bands before
having a chance encounter at the Central
Hotel in Oshawa eight years ago with Miss
Duguay, a native of New Brunswick, who
had belonged to a band that had just
broken up. The two played for various
bands until You and Me was formed in
1975. Since then they've played from
Whitehorse in the Yukon to Newfoundland.
But this spring they'll be going even
farther, to Nashville where they'll work on
an album.
You can't keep a good woman down.
When she was forced to vacate her
business location of The Nut Club Coffee
Shop in Stratford after 25 years in
business. Kay Waterman thought she
might give up business. "I really didn't
know if I was going to go into business
again," she said, but when the chance to
rent the former Keystone Bakery on
Brunswick street between Rheo Thompson
Candies and Woolco came up she took it
and today has a larger shop than ever.
With more space and more street traffic
nearby Mrs. Waterman is now looking
forward to a bigger and brighter future.
