citizen choir festival
On Wednesday, June 5th, thirty-seven
members of the MacKay Choristers and
their director Irla Stewart travelled to
Bingeman Park, Kitchener, where they
placed third in the parts choir competition in
the Sixth Annual Senior Citizens Choir
Festival '85.
The Senior Citizens Choirfest with the
theme "Friends in Unison" was presented
by Kitchener Parks and Recreation and the
Cameron Heights Senior' Citizens Kiwanis
Club.
The Choirfest is one of the events
sponsored by the Ontario Senior Games
which were initiated in 1982 to encourage
Seniors to take part in recreational
activities and sports. Each year
participation in the Choirfest has increased
and more space was required. This year the
event was held in the ballroom in Bingeman
Park Lodge.
Master of Ceremonies for the day was
Herb Wittich, vice-president of the Cameron
Heights Kiwanis Club and vice-chairman of
the Choirfest Committee.
The experienced and capable adjudicator
was Harvey Perrin who for many years was
Supervisor of Music in the Toronto schools.
An accomplished director, Perrin organized
andthrected the Men Teachers,' Choir in the
City of Toronto. As Choirfest adjudicator he
congratulated the choirs on their
performances and gave fair and
constructive criticism.
For the first time there was a minimum
age of 55 years for all choir members this
year. Most participants were beyond the
legal age" wIUi we (IUesL ueiug o1. inere
were two separate competitions with ten
unison choirs in the morning and eleven
parts choirs in the afternoon.
An excellent variety of music from
classical to novelty numbers and with very
little repetition was presented by the choirs.
Each choir was limited to a 15 -minute
program.
In the parts choirs first prize was won by
Greater Niagara Sr. Citizens "J" Singers of
Niagara Falls with 89 marks. The other
prize winners were Mississauga Sr.
Choristers 88, MacKay Choristers of
Goderich 87, and Rockway "Gardens Senior
Citizens Glee Club of Kitchener with 86
marks.
Other choirs in this class and all close
competitors were the Silvertones (Guelph),
the Mellow -Aires (Alliston), the Stonetown
Entertainers (.St. Marys), Taylor Place
Choir (Toronto), Goldenagers Choir. (St.
Catharines), Oakville Sr. Choristers, and
the Allandale Mellowtones ( Barrie ).
. Prize-winning choirs received plaques
and cash prizes ranging from $200 to$50. All
participating choirs were given certificates
and pins. Awards were presented to the
choir directors by Alderman Mark Yantzi of
the City of Kitchener.
This Choirfest was a very enjoyable event.
We were much impressed by the excellent
organization of 71 capable senior volunteers
who carried out their duties very capably.
All arrangements were made by the
efficient Choirfest Committee consisting of
Debbie Campbell, Chairman, and six
members.

County
hopes to
publish
by October
BY STEPHANIE LEVESQUE
October of this year has been tentatively
set as the publishing date of the trouble -
ridden Huron County historical atlas.
Tim Jute was announced at the June
. ession of Huron County council atlas
committee chairman Grant Stirling.
Originally, it was hoped the atlas would
have been ready for last Christmas but
setbacks have plagued production.
The Goderich township reeve made the
announcement amidst some questioning of
a "surprise" increase of about $25,000 for
publishing.
County council learned that art work and
the shape of the pictures to be used in the
atlas, could cost up to $25,000. Clerk -
treasurer Bill Hanly said the $25,000 will be
covered by the $75,000 budgeted for the
atlas in 1985.
"There won't be any more surprises,"
said Mr. Hanly.
A financial statement to the end of April
of this year shows that costs for the atlas
are $17,294 over revenue.
In the year and a half that production of
the atlas has been underway,. the county
has spent just over $125,000. Income, from
the patron's directory, pages purchased by
municipalities or businefses and book
sales, has totaled $108,400.
The largest expense of the atlas has,been
the salaries, totaling $70,377- for an editor,
co-ordinator and other staff members.
"We started out with 125 pages, now
we're up to 350 pages. County council
wanted a good atlas," commented Reeve
Stirling.
Editor A.Y. MacLean of Seaforth said he
is confident the October publishing date
will be met.
It was noted that the $45 cost of the atlas
is in effect until the publishing date and
then the cost will be raised.
