Members are Lise Vaugeois on French horn, Wendy Bornstein on oboe; Shannon Peet on bassoon; Gregory James on clarinet and Teresa Magdanz on flute. They will be conti- nuing their cross -Canada tour with Youth and Music. Woodwind thrill local The Grand Bend Concert season closed with the performance of ECLAT!, a gifted group of five young musicians from Toronto. Dawn Crabe introduced the woodwind quintet, an- nouncing that they will be attending the World Congress of Youth and Music, with 40 countries participating world wide - a real honor. The members of ECLAT! are Wen- dy II. Bornstein, on oboe; Teresa Magdanz on flute; Gregory James on clarinet; Lise Vaugeois on French horn; and Shannon Peet on bassoon. They have performed in children's concerts, as well as in such groups as the Toronto Symphony and the Cana- dian Opera Company. The program opened with "Trois Pieces Breves" by Jacques Ibert. The -allegro" is a rollicking melange of melody, with notes chasing each other up and down the scale. The "andante" is a very pretty piece, pastoral in tone. The -final movement is the Assezlent, Allegro scherzando. This complex section of music allows each instrument to make its own special voice heard, then blends all sounds .together in *a spirited finale. The second piece, Overture to the Barber of Seville by Rossini, was in- troduced and arranged by Teresa Magdanz, flautist. She explained how this particular piece strikes such a responsive cord in most of us due to the "silly symphonies" with Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd, even singing a bit _of"the cartoon libretto "Let me cut 31#ir Mop - daintily!" They pro- - ceed@b1 to play the familiar music, leaving the audience with visions of cartoon characters dancing in their heads! - Lise Vaugeois, french horn, gave some background on "Kvintet" by Carl Nielsen. -In the Allegro, sounds of the forest prevail. The instruments suggest the trill of birds in the flute and oboe, the flowing streams in the mellow bassoon; the bright sounds of day, the drowsy sounds of late after- noon, punctuated with the clarion call of a hunter's horn. This piece reminds you of a more modern version of "Afternoon of a Farm" in its tone. The minuet is a traditional dance form, a sweet, graceful piece that a ballerina would love. The Praeludium (1922) was written for the Copenhagen Wind Quintet, a rather sad, melancholy selection, played in variations of a more lively nature. which gave a humorous cast to some of the instrumental sounds, notably bassoon, Shannon Peet can certainly obtain an astounding variety of sounds from this ungainly -looking in- strument and her talent is im- pressive. Lise Vaugeois plays her french horn like the angel's trump, a masterful accomplishment on this dif- quintet Times -Advocate, April 8, 1987 . Page 13 Bosanquet and Grand Bend open talks on boundaries Representatives of • Grand Bend village and Bosanquet Township councils began negotiations this week on the village's proposal to annex cer- tain lands within the township. The minister of municipal affairs, the Hon. Bernard Grandmaitre, has called for negotiations based upon the findings of a fact finder inquiry which was commissioned in response to the village's application under the Municipal Boundary Negotiations Act 1981. The Grand Bend and Bosanquet negotiating committee will discuss the issues raised by the village and the township during the fact finding inquiry. It aims to produce a set of recommendations on how to solve any boundary and boundary -related pro- blems involving the two municipalities.

Peebles asked the children and adults. His topic "Triumph of the Cross" was based on the scriptures IColossians 1 and Colossians 2:6-15 read by Diane Rice. . He said that we all became reci- pients'of eternal life when Jesus died on the cross. The choir accompanied by Adella Gable sang This is my Father's World".

Donations go to the Lambton Cancer -Unit. Don't forget the Good Friday ser- vice at 2::30 p.m. (combined1, and oboe rivals the flute in sweetness, in a minor key, and you never heard one squeak, only lovely tones. The -ensemble plays very well together, with impeccable timing and a real feeling for their music. After the intermission, they began with "Dix -Sept Variations" by Jean Michel Damase, written when he was only 24 years old. It begins with clarinet and bassoon, then the other three chime in a very tuneful. rather baroque melody with complex finger- ing for the musicians, -but a joy to the ear: The music flows into a bassoon solo, then into a more modern ensem- ble sound. Once again the melody dances back and forth between instruments, now oboe, now flute, back to horn, echoed by clarinet, as the bassoon keeps time. The pace slows; then picks up to a bouncy rhythm, with the flute and oboe dancing trills around the others. until the theme is caught by the bas- soon to echo and end the piece. The "Woodwind Quintet" by Weinz- weig, introduced by clarinetist Gregory James, is a modern piece, in= fluenced by jazz, and by some of Stravinsky's works, most notably, "Rites of Spring" t Fantasiz T in the sudden, sharp bursts of notes and odd rhythm. The Scherzo, by Eram Sprenkle is a fast moving. light sparkling piece in a modern vein. It dances along. pauses briefly for a dreamy waltz, slows to a majestic theme then whirls back into a dance. A great blend of the instruments! The next offering is a trio of ancient Hungarian Dances by Ferenc Farkas. The "intrada" is a lively peasant dance that makes you want to tap your feet. grab a partner and sway to the call of the music. The "Chorea" is more stately and graceful. like a minuet. with lovely. mellow woodwind tones, to be danc- ed by the lords and - ladies of the castle. The "Ugros" was written by gyp- sies, needing flickering firelights and dancers, leaping and twirling wildly. The concert ended with the little "Fugue in G minor" by Bach. It begins quietly and simply, swelling into a full symphonic sound, derived from only five players. The intricacy of the theme as it weaves in and out among the instruments is a lasting testimony to the genius of Bach and the talent of these young performers. The audience gave them a well earn- ed standing ovation. Bravo! . After the performance, the musi- cians and the members of the au- dience were invited to a reception at the home of Dawn and Terry Crabe. for good food and sparkling conver- sation. It was an impressive finale for the Grand Bend Concert season. Teaches lifesaving The students in senior grades at Grand Bend received a bonus pro- gram there recently. In conjunction with the grades 7-8 health program, and as an enrich- ment activity, these students at GBPS are having the opportunity to obtain their lifesaver certificate from St. John's Ambulance. This involves a minimum two and one half hour course under the direction of the in- structor and examiner, Norm Mac- Pherson. principal. The course will allow the students to aid victims who cannot breathe due to such causes as shock, choking, drugs, drowning, and asphyxiation. Hoffman Ambulance service, Dashwood, has allowed the school to use their resuscitation machine, "Resuci Annie" which will enable the students to develop a more effective mouth-to-mouth breathing technique. Students of the whole GBPS benefited another way last week. Malt Maxwell, Canadian born in Halifax, travelled to GB to make lear- ning French Fun.

THE POLICY is a simple idealistic, one-page outline of The Lamb - ton County Board of Education's position. THE REGULATIONS - are a complex spelling out of the practical effects of the policy with respect to employment practices, sub- ject content and the meeting of staff and student needs as they are presently understood, in thirty-six statements. IF YOU have an interest in this topic or have experience which would help make the policy or regulations more effective in meeting the stated goal, we would like to hear from you. The policy and regulations are being distributed to all our schools. A copy may be borrowed and returned to your neighbourhood school with comments.

Nancy Bentley - Allen Wells Chairman of the Board Director of Education "Lambton County Public Education Touching Tomorrow Today!" Jesus fallen to arrive and their brother Lazarus died. In our struggle to believe, we must realize that God will not be limited to, or guided by the realm of time. As parents, we know the folly of spoiling our children with immediate gratification; surely our Heavenly. Father is the same. God's thoughts. and actions are different from ours; His ways are not our ways: God is a God of Love, and even though we don't always understand, God's way will prove to be the best. Fifty-two sirnobles and sultanas of the Alhambra met at the Colonial Hotel for a delicious communion breakfast. Everyone enjoyed the sumptuous salad bar, pancakes. sausage and all the- trimmings. Special thanks to Sirnoble Eddie Mommersteeg, who is chairman of this event. Next Sunday, Palm Sunday, all parishioners are asked to attend a special Pancake and Sausage breakfast after each Mass, at the Alhambra Hall.
