Darwin Buffinga is in Crime Stoppers at convention TORONTO - Delegates at the 10th annual Crime Stoppers Inter- national Conference in Albu- querque; New Me ico, have unani- mously endorse a resolution supporting the efforts of law en- forcement agencies worldwide to battle drug smuggling and traffick- tnDelegates, who included Ontario Provincial Police Crime Stoppers coordinators, vowed to step up their part in the war against the drug problem, which they say has now - reached epidemic proportions. For the first time in the history of the program, a Canadian, Re- gional Chairman of Hamilton - Wentworth Reg Whynou, has been named president of Crime Stoppers International. Since 1983, Crime Stoppers pro- grams in Ontario have been respon- sible for 9,274 arrests and recover- ing property and drugs worth $47,204,369, while $695,148 has been paid out in rewards. The OPP is directly involved in 21 of the 35 programs in Ontario. grade 1 and banny Sams from Goderich is in grade 5. We hope they will all soon feel at home in our midst. In the library, Mrs. Kiny Van- Lingen helps out the regular Friday librarians. Mrs. Diane Bruinsma conducts- our choirs. This year all the students of grades 5 to 8 are in the choirs. Two special assemblies have al- ready been held. On Wednesday, Oc- tober 4, Miss Joyce Dekker, a for- mer staff member, presented *her slides of her work and life in China. She has been teaching there for the last year. Friday, October 6 was our annual Thanksgiving assembly. It was led by Mrs. Eva Roorda. The students of the grade 4 class presented a symbolic explanation of the Chris- tian meaning of Thanksgiving as it is celebrated today. All students joined in singing praise to the Lord for His many good gifts to us; the choirs also presented several harvest songs of praise. Food gifts brought in by the stu- dents were packed into boxes and distributed by deacons of the local churches and given to needy fami- lies in the community. In this way the meaning of Thanksgiving and consequent sharing can be made more meaningful to the students. Some individual classes have naa special projects to involve them in their particular studies. Kindergarten is planning a visit to the Ridder ap- ple orchard on October 13. Grade 1 enjoyed a great fruit salad as a fol- lowup to their favourite fruits being used in graphing. Grade 4 had an in- -teresting visit to the high school pond. Pond plants and animals in an aquarium are now an important part of their pond community study. Grades 5 and 6 science stu- dents are questioning their parents on the energy -efficiency of their re- spective homes. The physical ex- perience of any lesson does help the learning process! Last of all, our soccer teamsare preparing for their tournament scheduled for October 13 in London. Coaches for the boys and girls teams are Mr. Mel VanLingen and Mr. Ralph Schuurman. We wish the teams well. Murder at dinner BLYTH - Back by popular de- mand is the Murder Dinner at Blyth Memorial Hall on Friday, October 27 at 7 p.m. and Saturday, October 28 at 7 p.m. Promising politicians will be murdered as part of the world premiere of Paul Davy's play, All Candidates Murder where even the audience is part of the entire plot. Join us for "one of Blyth's hottest election nights," - when you elect from a list of promising poli- ticians your candidate for Mayor. But be careful, one of them is a murderer! Directing this zany even- ing and cast of characters is Stephen Oliver with producer and stage man- ager, Marian Doucette. "I am delighted that Alie Munro will be one of the performers in All Candidates Murder" says author Paul Davy. "She is one of Canada's best writers and one of my favourite writers of -all time. The idea for this, script came about as a result of a heated candidates meeting I attended in my area during the last election. I wanted to write a play exploring the extent to which politicians would go in order to get elected. I also used "Rainbow Theatre's recent murder mystery play set at a share- holder's meeting as a model for this script" Paul Davy, a teacher of gifted children, french and english at Parry Sound High School has been writ- ing plays for the past two years. "Our Drama Club at the high school has no budget and so I began writing plays for our Club;to save money and to incorporate every- one's talents into our script: My first play, Murder Contest won the Georgian Bay Sears Drama Festival in 1988 Award for best production and best actress. Journey to the -Sun which I wrote last year, won the Georgian Bay Sears Drama Festival in 1989 for best actress in Barrie. Saturday's performance of All Candidates Murder is entirely sold out with Friday's performance 50 percent sold.

At Blyth - Heather Edson stars in the one -woman show "Big Girls Cry", at the Blyth Festival Theatre October 14. Big Girls Cry kicks off in Blyth Saturday BLYTH - A delightful new com- edy, Big Girls Cry .by actress Heather Esdon kicks off thc Blyth Festival Fall series on Saturday, October 14 - 8 p.m at Blyth Me- morial Hall. Welcome to the world of Faith Monaghan - she's a some- what overweight actress getting ready for an important audition. As she transforms herself from hath - robe and facial mask to beautifully manicured actress, she introduces the audience to a zany cast of char- acters. She takes on the voices of teach- ers, classmates; salesclerks, blind dates, prospective employers - rep- resentatives of a society that seems to judge solely on the basis of ap- pearances. Faith can talk a mile a minute, churning out snappy witti- cisms about life, theatre, love and even hair remover. ,Her sparkling performance promises to be a com- ic treat. Heather Esdon is no stranger to fans of the Blyth Festival where she has appeared in productions of Cake -Walk and Lilly, Alta. She be- gan her stage career with Ottawa's Theatre 2000 and thc Penguin Theatre Company in 1981; since that time she has enjoyed seasons with Upper Canada Playhouse, Thousands Islands Playhouse. Her work with Ottawa's Great Canadian Theatre Company in- cludes roles in S: Portrait of a Spy, the national tour of gide Effects, and productions of I Am Yours and A Jungle Out There. She will ap- pear in Midnight Madness at GCTC in the spring of 1990. Big Girls is her first script and it pre- miered at the 1988 Edmonton Fringe Festival with productions at GCTC and the Canadian Popular Theatre Alliance Festival in 1989. The Ottawa Citizen praises Big Girls Cry as a "delightful solo show with a particular appeal for anyone who's ever been, shall we say, pleasantly plump. Or. for any- one who's worried about a big nose. Or thinning hair. Or terminal acne that warrants the nickname "Pizza Face". Come to think of it, Big Girls Cry will strike a respon- sive chord with anyone who's ever felt victimized by a society whose inhabitants don't always bother to look beyond the external package to see the person on the inside... She has brought her own life to her lines, creating an evening of theatre that moves from one touching and amusing moment to the next." Big Giris Cry is part of a three event series sponsored by the Blyth Festival from October to Decem- ber. Other performances in the ser- ies at Blyth Memorial Hall include The Romaniacs on Sunday, No- vember 12, 1989 - 8 p.m. and Sec- ond City's National Touring Com- pany on Saturday, December 9, 1989 - 8 p.m. Series tickets are available for S25.00 for three shows and tickets to individual per- formances are S13.00 each.
