Both Taylor -Smith and pre- sent director, Ron Urlich, ex- pressed delight in working together again. Taylor -Smith was invited to play the lead female role in the opener. "We thought about it for a while", she said. She has been enjoying her home and fami- ly in Toronto and had been relaxing with a more leisure- ly pace of living. The truth is, she said, that she loves being on stage and particularly on the stage at Huron Country Playhouse. "I feel at home when I walk on this stage." "I like both acting and directing equally. It's easier to get performing than direc- ting jobs but the creative im- pulse is the same - the desire to communicate is the same." Her acting career began when she was a child. She worked steadily at her profes- sion with the CBC (radio and television) and did summer stock at Gravenhurst and Port Carling. When she decid- ed she wanted to direct, she became an apprentice at the Playbox Theatre in California. Her initial experience with HCP came in the second year of the theatre's existence. Her husband, Ronald Smith was to work in Sarnia for the sum- mer so she checked out the theatre in Grand Bend and was kept busy on stage the whole season. She began rehearsing at Grand Bend Saturday after having attended her older daughter's graduation at University of Western On- tario. Averil is specializing in Fine Art. There is a younger daughter, Joannah at UWO working on a degree in Social , Science. Eldest of the Smith's three children is David, who is a Business graduate. Some of her many credits with HCP as an actor include Barefoot in the Park, The Im- portance of being Ernest, The Glass Menagerie, Butterflies are Free which she also directed. Before her stint as artistic director she directed The Owl and the Pussycat and various children's shows. Last year she directed three shows. On Golden Pond; which became a hit movie with Henry and Jane Fonda and Kathyrn Hepburn, was directed on stage at the Kawartha Festival by Ulrich last year. Three of that cast will be in the Grand Bend pro- duction. Les Carlson, who would be remembered in The Odd Couple, will play Charlie Martin. Taylor -Smith will play the mother Ethel, op- posite Norman, played by Jack Northmdre. Northmore will also be playing in The Miracle Worker and How the Other Half 1,oves. Ben Carlson, son of Les, will play the part of Billy, the young boy who has his life turned around by his visit to the aging couple. Moora Wylie, who was also in the Kawartha production will play the daughter Chelsea and the part of the father of the boy, Bill, will be played by Larry Aubrey. Aubrey will also play in How the Other Half Loves. On Golden Pond premiers June 21, opens June 22 and runs to July 2, then moves for further rehearsals to Toronto before touring the country. Family Brown Canada's foremost country group, The Family Brown, will be performing in concert at Huron Country Playhouse on Sunday, June 26 at 8:00 p.m. An institution in this coun- try, The Family Brown had their professional beginnings in 1968 when 'Papa' Joe Brown and drummer Ron Sparling brought Joe's son, Barry, and two daughters, Lawanda and Tracey, together as a unit. Virtually unchanged for almost a decade, The Family Brown show added the talents of Garry 'Spike' Spricer in 1979. The Family Brown's rapid success in the Ottawa Valley led to their first television show, "Country Way", which later blossomed into "Fami- ly Brown Country", a show that is syndicated across the nation. Their records (among them "R.R. No. 2" and "It's Really Love This Time" and the album "Familiar Faces, Familiar Places") are power- ful country songs. Many have been so successful that they have spilled over from the country market to the pop charts. Not confined to Canada, The Family Brown have shown their irrepressible talent on international levels - in Belgium when they played at the sprawling NATO head- quarters in Brussels, in Malone, New York where they appeared in front of 10.000 fans. in England where they were nominated in the 1981 International Country Music Awards in Wembley, and in Northern Ireland where they taped a highly successful TV show. When viewed In concert the awards, the success of their television show and their con- tinuous string of top ten records takes on new mean- ing.

By doing this, we also prevent pollution of streams, plugging of drain tile due to bacteria growth, and other problems which are common around manure storages. We now have copies of the manure storage (and erosion control) standards that apply to this program. Liquid and semi-solid manure storages are fairly straight forward. The minimum storage period must be 200 days for the storage to be eligible for the grant. Some standards relate to safety around these storages. Any areas where livestock have access are not eligible. This includes feedlot yards, and loafing barns, for exam- ple. Solid manure storages must incorporate some method to contain the liquid runoff. This could mean a separate storage for liquids, or storing solids and liquids together. Where the liquids are stored with the solids, the entrance ramp must be four feet higher than the lowest point of the floor. All of these construction details are included in the package of information that is available on request. If you're planning to build a manure storage and are interested in getting 13 of the costs back (up to $5,000. maximum), call the office and we'll send out the information plus a "pro- ject proposal" form. We need the project proposal filled out, a copy of the building permit, and a sketch of the project. An office review committee looks at these and decides whether the project is eligible or not. You'll likely know within a week whether or not you are eligible, but it's not of- ficial until you receive an ap- plication form from our Guelph office. Plan ahead to avoid disappointment.
