The Citizen, 2003-05-21, Page 19THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, MAY 21, 2003. PAGE 19. Entertainment $ Leisure Madill show cancelled By Sarah Mann Student writer The Gift of Song, a student-writ- ten musical that was to be performed at F.E. Madill from May 26 to May 28, has been cancelled. Director Louanna Alexander said it was difficult to cancel the produc­ tion but the Sears Drama Festival happened a month later than usual andthey, “just could not make up that month that we needed to do a quality production.” Alexander also said they had great difficulty getting all cast members together at the same time because of jobs, track and field, rugby, and school assignments. There still may be a chance to see The Gift of Song, Alexander said, as writer Heather Sande and a group of students are going to try and produce it at the Heritage Theatre during the summer. No details have been given but Alexander has turned over all scripts, directorial, lighting, and set notes for the stu­ dents to use. Alexander said a student would be directing but she will support them in any way. Publication features Lucio’s award-winning carvings Early bird vibe Competition 2002, an annual pub­ lication spotlighting the winners of national bird-carving competitions, recently featured the artwork of Jason Lucio of Auburn. His fulvous whistling ducks won second in world in floating decorative lifesize water­ fowl pairs at the 2002 Ward World Championship in Ocean City, MD. It also recently featured the art­ work of Larry Lucio of Mount Brydges. His oldsquaw won first in open non-floating decorative ducks at the 2002 Central Ontario Wildfowl Woodcarving Champion­ ship in Kitchener. Artwork for Competition 2002 is chosen from some of the most aes­ thetically beautiful wildfowl carv­ ings in the world. Selection is based on the skilled craftsmanship and quality of the piece and the awards it receives at major regional contests. Wildfowl carvers start with blocks At the Branch of wood and use power carvers to rough out the bird’s form. To further refine the piece, texturing stones and woodbumers are used to gain detail. Decorative bird carvers finish their intricate carvings in acrylics or oils, while “interpretive” carvers capture the essence of the species through stylized workings of the natural grains and surface patterns of the wood. Competition 2002, published by Wildfowl Carving Magazine, fea­ tures over 100 full-colour photos, including macro-photography of best in show winners from major bird-carving contests across the United States. WC is the only inter­ national, full-colour magazine devoted exclusively to bird carving, providing reference and how-to information to more than 15,000 carvers and collectors of contempo­ rary wildfowl carvings. Paul Tanner, of Stratford, was presented with a $1,000 cheque on Tuesday as the winner of the first early bird prize in Blyth Festival’s Catch the Vibe in Blyth draw.
