ENJOY PERFORMER - A Targe crowd enjoyed the talented perfor- mance of Claude Webster, right, last Wednesday evening in Grand Bend. Standing with Webster in front of Stephenson's grand piano are Cheyenne Olmstead, and Fiona Walker, both 12, and music students. The next con- cert is the Stratford Boychoir. Electrifying concert Electrifying! Spine tingling! A rock concert review? No, these arc comments heard in the audience who witnessed the performance last Wednesday, of Claude Webster, one of Canada's finest young musi- cians. Patrons entered Gram' ed Church to find the nated by a shining eboi. ,- ant. Lillian O'Connor in►, aced the guest performer, Claude Web- ster, a charming young 26-year-ol, artist from Quebec. He has a Bach= clor's and Master's degree in music, has received three grants from Can- ada Council and studies with Adele Marcus in New York. His present tour with Youth and Music Canada takes him all through Ontario and into Saskatchewan. Not only is Claude a superb per- former, but he took the time to ex- plain the various parts of each piece and its underlying themes so that the audience could better un- derstand and appreciate the music they heard. The program opened with Bee- thoven's Opus 27 No. 2, the "Moonlight Sonata". The next offering was from the Russian composer, Mussorgsky's "Pictures At An Exhibition". This work was composed in honour of his friend, the artist Hartman, as a musical iriterpretation of a dozen paintings on display, so that each part tries to capture a tonal portrait -Of a different painting. tical portrait in somber tones. The promenade theme is used for a painting of a children's playground in high spirited notes of laughter, tears, fights - the irrepressible joy of childhood. The next part is heavy, depressing music to depict the portrait of a Polish peasant pull- ing a cart, a -work painted in black tones of poverty. He ended with the "Great Gate of Kiev", an impressive, piece depict- ing the enormous grandeur of its Subject, that ends with a glorious climax of sound to make the walls vibrate. A magnificent performance that closed the first half of the pro- gram with wild applause. The second half began with Mo- zart, the Sonata in D Major, the ep- itome of classical music, beautiful- ly performed to capture the gracious elegance of the period. Because of the opportunity to play upon such a magnificent piano, Claude chose to, perform more of the difficult works by Liszt, in the No. two Octave Study and No. 12 Classe-Neige. (he last piece on the program was again by Liszt, Hungarian Rhapso- dies No. 12, a wild, moody, pas- sionate gypsy dance. His encore was Debussy's Claire dcLunc, that beautiful, haunting melody familiar to all, and as sweet- ly played as we will every hcar this side of heaven. A reception fol- lowed, as people took the oportuni- ty to meet and congratulate Claude Webster, on his magnificent perfor- mance. bis c donations to the Farm Safety Council and The St. Marys Agricul- ture Society.

Beth Reimer attending the Janu- ary 13 meeting of council outlined her plans for a centre to be operated out of the activity centre located in Craigweil Gardens at Ailsa Craig. Mrs. Breimer advised council there were about 1,670 senior citi- zens in the area which they hoped to serve and it was their desire to attract shut-ins, seniors living with their families in order to allow families a day off. She indicated seniors would be picked up and would be provided with a free din- ner. The philosophy of the program is to afford seniors an opportunity to socialize, increase their feeling of self worthand objectives of the pro- gram areto reduce isolation, stimu- late them from both a physical and Times -Advocate, February 3, 1988 Page 5A day care for seniors Also provided will be professional services including footnurse, hair- dresser, ear and eye doctors, moder- ate exercise, reading clubs, crafts and woodworking. Mrs. Breimer indicated daily cost to the senior would be 58 which would include a hot meal. An addi- tional $2 would be charged if trans- portation was needed. The Ministry of Community and Social Services will pay 70 percent of the cost of the program leaving the activity centre to raise S14,000 or about S2,000 for each municipal- ity. Council agreed there was a need for such a'service, but felt the arca covered should include the police village of Granton. Council agreed to extend the time for the engineer to file his reports on the Harlton and Malcolm -Wallis municipal drains. A resolution from the township of Ekfrid asking the Ministry of Natural Resourcs to reinstate the predator control program in their 1988 budget was supported. Two applications received by the township's committee of adjustment were opposed by council. The first from Greg and Laurie Flanagan was to permit a garage to 'be built within one foot of a side yard rather than meeting require- ments of the bylaw which is 10 feet. Council felt a variance of this magnitude was not minor. An application from Mr. and Mrs. Peter Nippa at Lot 2, North London Road asked to register a severance of a four acre parcel of land from their existing farm in order that same could be used by their son for resi- dential purposes. In council's opinion, the applica- tion fails to meet requirements of the township's official plan. Correspondence was received from the Ontario Municipal Boad approv- ing the township's new comprehen- sive zoning bylaw.

Onc hun- dred years ago agriculture was separated from othcr branches of government activity and made thc sole responsibility of one minister. Charles A. Drury was the first minister of the Department of Ag- riculture. He was sworn in on May 1st, 1888, having a staff of 35 within the entire ministry. Today thc ministry employs over 1500 people across the province. 'the purpose of the 1988 celebra- tion is to create an awareness in the general farm population. Pro- vincially, a number of events will be held throughout the year. As part of the centennial celebrations the Ministry of Agriculture and Food will present awards to indi- viduals who tiavc made signiticanl contributions to the agriculture and food industry. Locally, presentations to New Year's babies; displays and exhibits on local artist Reuben Sallows; open houses; reunions; balloon rc- leases; parade floats and more will be seen at events in Huron Coun- ty. The agriculture industry has had many changes in one hundred years. It has moved from a very la- bour-intensive industry to a highly technical business. During 1988 the Ministry of Agriculture is pay- ing tribute to the achievements of the agri-food industry over thc past 100 years. During this year we will include historical points of in- terest in our weekly press releases. Watch for them in upcoming' weeks. In 1888: The Department of Ag- riculture was established in the "Old Parliament Building", located on 10 acres of land bounded by Front, Simcoc, Wellington and John Streets in Toronto. This de- partment was among the largest in government. Its budget, was S24,500. out of a total Ontario Govemment budget of 5212,145.
