Girl performs at provincial music festival
Young musician
Making it to the provincial music
festival is a dream of every young
musician, and one that a Brussels
girl recently fulfilled.
Aneie Yoon, daughter of Kang
and Young Yoon, had the honour
of participating at the provincial
level, in McMaster University,
Hamilton on June 10-13, after qual
ifying in May at the Midwestern
Music Festival in Walkerton.
Angie, who has competed several
years, took first place in the seven
numbers she entered, finishing with
a mark of 89. In recognition of her
achievement Angie was given a
musicianship award from the
Ontario Registered Music Teachers
Association of $200.
She was also selected as one of
16 musicians invited to perform in
the Highlights Concert at the end of
the festival on May 2.
Angie, a Grade 10 student at
F.E. Madill Secondary School
began playing piano at the age of
six, taking lessons from Mrs.
Joanne King in Brussels. When ill
ness prompted Mrs. King to stop
teaching Angie then took her Grade
7 and 8 with Mrs. Judy Morton in
Belgrave, who then got a full-time
job teaching in Howick Public
School.
Mr. Yoon said that his family and
friends in the close-knit Korean
community in Waterloo put them in
touch with Mrs. Marjorie Beckett, a
piano teacher in Waterloo, whom
Angie Yoon of Brussels, recently took first place at the Mid
Western Music Festival in Walkerton.Angie then had the
opportunity to play at the provincial level in Hamilton.
since. "We are pleased to have
found her," said Mr. Yoon. "She is
a very good teacher." Angie makes
the trip to the city for her lesson
every Saturday with her mother and
younger sister Christine, who also
takes lessons.
Though a committed pianist, who
practises faithfully, Angie points
out it isn't the number one priority
every day. "I still have school, too,"
said the top student, who is present
ly thinking of following in her
» father's footsteps, as a pharmacist.
The Youngs are very modest,
regarding their daughter's gift.
"After Angie had taken lessons for
a few years, her teachers told us
that she was gifted, though we did
n't think so at that time," Mr? Yoon
adds, laughing.
He is equally modest about the
family's contribution to Angie's tal
ent, saying that it is not hereditary,
though Mrs. Yoon is quick to add
that his sister and niece are musi
cal. Christine, who competed in
Walkerton as well, finished with a
mark of 91; the highest in her
group, for which she received a
Junior Scholarship.
Though Angie could go no fur-

Environmental Fair, Oct. 1
After a very productive meeting
at the Brussels Library on June 30,
the North Huron Environment
Group has set into motion plans for
their Environmental Fair to be held
at the Brussels, Morris and Grey
Community Centre during Waste
Reduction Week.
Chairperson Donna White said
that on Thursday, October 1, stu
dents from the area school will be
invited to view the displays from 9
a.m. to noon after which the public
is invited to attend until 9 that
evening.
Invitations are being sent to busi
nesses, groups and individuals
informing them of the Fair and to
ask for their participation or inter
est,said Mrs. White. However, with
so many possibilities out there, she
does not want anyone overlooked
so is requesting that any retailers of
environmentally friendly products
or services call her at 887-6572 to
book a table.
An exhibitors' fee of $10 has
been set as a guarantee of their
presence, said Mrs. White.
Many other ideas for the fair
have been discussed, but are not yet
finalized. There will be more
details after the group meets on
July 20, she said.
It was decided as well, that the
button battery campaign will wrap
up that day as well. People are
invited to bring their batteries to the
fair. There will be a contest to
guess the number of batteries col
lected with the winner determined
after the fair.
Though the Environment Group,
a sub-committee of the North
Huron Community Development
Group, has been off to a slow start,
Mrs. White is very enthusiastic
over its latest project. "It was a
very productive meeting," she said.
"We talked primarily about the
Environment Fair, which everyone
is involved in and excited about.
We feel it will do well."
