Chown's guitar wizardry was preceded on stage by local rockabilly combo the Empty Threats featuring Craig Harrison (top right), Jesse Mabon (lower right), Brenden Purser and Rob Corrigan. Chown drops jaws with blues talent Denny Scott signal -star staff London -native Chris Chown kicked off the West Coast Blues season at the Livery on the weekend, and organizer John Harrison said that the show was, in a word, sensational. "It went .very well," Harrison said. "The crowd just loved the entertainment." The Empty Threats, a local band, opened for Chown, at the June 20 event, adding their unique country twist to the show. "Both bands were great," Harrison explained. "Chown was really incredible though." Harrison said that the venue was comfortably filled, and that most of the audience was new to the Livery experience. "There was a good, appreciative crowd .that really enjoyed the performance." he said. "A lot of the crowd was from out of the area, I hadn't seen them before." Chown, who had played at the first Bluesfest in 2006, had shown a lot of growth, according to Harrison. "Chris has grown in leaps and bounds. He has al- ways been good," he said. "We had him at the .first blues festival, and people were very impressed with him. You can see the maturity now though." The concert was a precursor to the West Coast Bluesfest, happening Friday, September 4, and Satur- day Sept. 5. This year it will include outdoor concerts courtesy of GDCI and the Goderich BIA, a seven -stop pub crawl, and a killer lineup for Saturday's main event. West Coast Blues has also launched. a website at www.wecoastblues.ca, where tickets will soon be available for the September event. Tickets will, also be available at Ernie King Music, the Livery, and at 104.9 The Beach. Public schools have it made in the shade Four elementary schools in Huron County will receive funds for trees and shade structures to protect children from the damag- ing effects of the sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays. The Southwest Public Health Skin Cancer Prevention Network launched the "Ugliest Schoolyard Contest" earlier in the year. They recently announced 26 schools would receive funding, including Seaforth Public School ($2,000), Hullett Central Public School ($1,000), Clinton Public School ($750) and Hensall Public School ($750). — public Healtl Nurse and Net- work member Anne Haley says the group got 55 entries from across the southwest region. "We were pleased that so many • schools recognize the importance of protecting children from harm- ful UV rays. We know that fre- quent sun exposure,and sunburns before age 18 increase your risk, of developing malignant melano- mas later in life." Haley says it's particularly im- portant for schools to be aware of the risk because children are at school during the highest risk pe- riod of the day between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. They spend a signifi- cant amount of this time outdoors for recess, lunch, physical educa- tion, field'trips, outdoor education and extra -curricular activities. Monetary awards for win- ning entries ranged from $500 to $2,000. Schools will complete their shade projects before the end of the calendar year, pending their boards' approval of plans.
