In our October issue,
The way the cards say we were
Retired Stratford resident Stan Faulhafer shares with us
his postcard collection, in particular nostalgic scenes of
towns and villages in our area. The names are familiar
but the faces have changed.
Little theatre big work
What does it take to keep little theatre alive in western
Ontario? Is it worth the work? What's up this fall and
winter?
In the still of the hills
Western Ontario people will find a lot of value in
southern Vermont. Self-reliant, reserved but friendly
people, beautiful country and reasonably priced food
and accommodation. Visit the area next month with
Village Squire.

Hagarty (con't from page 5)
"And one thing about having ten years under my belt," he
continues, describing his late -blooming career," and this is
something the newspaper business gave me, is I don't bow down
before money. I have a deep respect for people with character, and
no use for the status quo."
A career in journalism is only one segment of a varied past.
Besides serving as editor of the Mitchell Advocate, a weekly, and
as a reporter with the Stratford Beacon Herald (V.S. readers will
also recognize Hagarty as the author of a monthly column in the
magazine), the singer has also taught school, driven a truck and
worked in construction and factories.
So, he concludes. with a mind to that background, by starting
out at thirty, "I think I can approach it (a career in music) with a
level head. 1 couldn't have done that at age eighteen."
That level head has helped him focus his sights realistically on
the prospects of his newly -launched career. "1 know I'm fighting a
couple of obstacles," he admits, "like the fact I'm local. (Hagarty
lives in Mitchell). Immediately I figure the attitude will be 'he
can't be good because he's local'. 1 do the same thing. But
everybody in the long run is a local singer somewhere."
If remaining a local singer is what the future holds, well, there
would of course be some disappointment. But you can still share
the music with the local folks, and that gives it special qualities of
its own. They've heard about him in the west, though. A radio
programmer in Alberta wants to do a special on Hagarty which
could mean a trip for the singer.
It is funny how some messages can travel.
"It is funny how the worst is for the better," says Hagarty.
"Every tough time I ever had, I'm deeply grateful for. It doesn't
make me different or special. It makes me what I am today."
Ain't It Funny. Not at all.
