Teeswater dance troupe runners-up at Western
■ ♦
v ♦
♦ * .♦
If you hear some loud foot-stomp
ing and toe-tapping your way, it just
might be the Class Taps, the area’s
very own Junior River dance.
This group of 19 young ladies and
two young gentlemen are all from
the Wingham, Teeswater, Formosa
and Brussels area and are all students
of Jan’s Danceshop, Teeswater.
Laura Jarvis, who also teaches at the
Danceshop and Heidi Whytock (both
former pupils) took up the challenge
this summer to teach and choreo
graph this group of 21 dancers.
These youngsters all have been
taking stepdancing for at least four
years and were ready for a new chal
lenge.
At the Branch
After smaller classes at the
danceshop in May, the large group
was put together and practices had to
be moved to the Belmore
Community Centre to allow for more
floor space for 21 pairs of legs to
spread out and form a chorus-like
kick-line, as well as a large pinwheel
formation. The timing and choreog
raphy of their moves is something to
see and after endless hours of prac
tising and aching feet, it was finally
perfected.
The group competed at the Junior
Youth Talent Search Teeswater
Competition on Aug. 27 and was
chosen along with four other acts, to
compete at the semi-final competi-
tion at the new PL Stage at the
Western Fair, London last Sunday,
Sept. 10. This is an all Ontario com
petition with 75 acts competing, cho
sen from the many preliminary con
tests throughout the province.
At this competition. Class Taps
was again selected in the top 15 and
went on to compete in the finals at
Western Fair last Satu/day, Sept.
16.
Getting to the finals was a great
experience for all of the people
involved and not a prouder moment
could have happened for all of them
when Class Taps was chosen first
runner-up of the Junior Youth Talent
Search, Ontario Competition.

Schneider Haus
hosts pie contest
On Saturday, Sept. 30 the
Schneider Haus is holding an Apple
Pie Baking Contest as part of the
annual Schnitzing Bee weekend.
Everyone has their own favourite
apple pie recipe - it might include a
particular variety of apple, or the
addition of another fruit such as
blueberries, or maybe the secret is in
the crust.
The rules and regulations for this
contest are few: the pie must be
homemade, it must have a pastry
crust, and it must contain apples.
There is a category for youth (ages
eight to 14) and an adult category
(ages 15 and older).
Pre-registration is not required but
all pies must be at the Joseph
Schneider Haus by noon on
Saturday, Sept. 30. The judging will
begin at 12:30 p.m. and the prize,
will be awarded at 2 p.m.
All participants in the contest will
receive free admission to the
Schnitzing -Bee. Activities include
pressing cider, cooking apple butter
on an outdoor fire, tasting heritage
varieties of apples, and, of course,
chopping and drying apples in the
Schnitzhaus.
Joseph Schneider Haus is located
at 466 Queen St. S., Kitchener, ON
N2G 1W7. For more information

It’s been a wonderful week at the
Branch. We have seen a lot of
friends and comrades who have had
a busy summer and are now drop
ping back into the branch.
It was a great afternoon on
Thursday. A nice group of seniors
attended and we were thrilled to
have some residents of Huronlea
come to enjoy the afternoon. The
guest speaker, Kevin Hummel of
Crime Stoppers, gave a short report
on the work of Crime Stoppers and
how sometimes it can be the smallest
of tips that leads to apprehending the
culprits. Keep your eyes open and
take notes if you see something odd.
Following Kevin, was the musical
talents of the group of The Saints.
They played and sang lots of old-
time music and had people singing
along and tapping their toes.
Lunch was served throughout the
afternoon and a good time was
enjoyed by all.
This Friday night supper is
sausage stew/casserole. You don’t
have to be a Legion member to
attend. It’s open to anyone.
Saturday was the elimination draw
and there are some happy people
around Brussels. Happiest will be
Ken and Bessie Johnston, big win
ners of $ 1,500. Now Ken remember,
you didn’t want to buy a ticket from
me, but aren’t you glad Bessie did?
Congratulations.
The entertainment that was
enjoyed by those attending was fan
tastic. The musical talent of Leanne
Minielly started the show. There
were special appearances by
Stompin Tom Connors, Garth
Brooks, Rita McNeil, Holly Dunn,
Kenny Rodgers and Dolly Parton.
Surprise guests included the talented
Anthony Vader singing The Lions
Sleeps Tonight and Sonny and Cher
singing / Got You Babe.
The evening then really started to
rock when Elvis appeared. The
crowd went wild and a great show
was enjoyed. We hope all who were
there enjoyed the talents of our visit
ing music stars.
The fish fry was also a success and
our marvellous Legion cooks were
hard at work.
Remember we can always use
extra hands so be a volunteer when
you drop in at the branch.
