Clinton News-Record, 1983-11-23, Page 24Little Jason of Vanastra chats amiably with 'storekeeper' Lianne Storey. Lianne was in charge of selling tickets for the Lady Diana Nursery School for Special Children at the Vanastra lioness Christmas Bazaar on Saturday. Jason holds a large bundle of tickets in his fist but he seems quite content just 'hanging around' talking to Lianne, the prize for the draw was a large ceramic doll.

The Optimists have had a very busy year so far. On Nov. 13 the Club sponsored an afternoon of free skating for all children under 16. This was the Club's contribution to Youth Appreciation Week and the afternoon was enjoyed by many. On Oct. 28 a free Halloween Party was held at the high school. Approximately 100 ghosts, goblins and witches participated in games, bobbed for apples and, in general. hada lot of fun. The club's donations since Oct. 1 includ( $500 t' minor Baseball, $200 to the Lad) Diana Nursery and six infant car seats to the Clinton Hospital. The next big event is the Bantam Hockey Tournament, starting Nov. 2,u Thanks to the generosity of the Clin- ton merchants, Clubs and other businesses, over $400 was donated to help pay for referees and ice time. This has been a very successful tournament in the past,and this year will be no exception. All proceeds go to Youth Activities. Genesis or "Collins " has new style album By Janet Tench Genesis has a new album out. Does this surprise you? It did me. When I saw it in the record store, I had to check to see if it was really the Genesis that I'm notoriously flipped out about (there was another group by that name). It was ... well almost. The first thing I noticed when I looked the album over „was that Genesis and Hugh Padgham (who did work on the Police's Synchronicity) produced it. What's going on? Genesis produced their last two albums themselves with Padgham handling only engineering. ( Take note - Hugh Padgham first came on the scene with Collins' Face Value). Secondly, with symmetrical shapes on the album cover, you'd think this once highly - creative band could come up with a good name ( shaping up the World would be good). Well, maybe they did, but they, forgot to put it on. A former member of Genesis, Peter Gabriel, learned that it helps sales when the album has a name. Upon listening to the album, I had two thoughts: 1) Genesis should be spelt P -H -I -L C -O -1, -L -I -N -S, and 2) Why did they bother to make it? The first release, "Mama", which has an EP to support it, sounds as if it was left -over material from Collins' Hello I Must Be Going. In fact, Home By the Sea and Silver Rainbow are the only songs that don't sound completely like Phil Collins' songs. The lyrics of these songs are at least worth listening to; lyrics being the main reason for the huge cult following that supports Genesis. The music reeks so greatly of Phil Collins ( whom I admire when he's working solo) that you'd never—know---that Mike Rutherford, an accomplished guitarist, and Tony Banks, a pianist rating up with classical performers, participate. If this is the new style that Genesis, (or should I say Collins) is going to take, a lot of fans will be disappointed. Fortunately for these fans there is a group they can turn to. Marillion, getting good Agricultural Society nieets largest number of delegates in attendance based upon the travelling distance, was presented by Mrs. Jean Reaney to the Exeter Agricultural Society. The 1984 executive is: district director - Bill Flynn, Clinton; secretary - Don Young, Auburn; lady representative - Hazel McIntosh, Milverton; and lady secretary - Evelyn Coxon, Milverton. The 1984 annual meeting will be held in Exeter, hosted by the Exeter Agricultural Society. Over 150 delegates attended the annual meeting of the Huron -Perth Ontario Association of Agricultural Societies which was held in Listowel Tuesday, November 8. Fair Queens from Brussels, Dungannon, Exeter, Listowel, Seaforth and Stratford, were well received by the audience. The crowd enjoyed the musical en- tertainment which was provided by Mr. and Mrs. Don McDonald of Listowel. The Ken Reaney Memorial Plaque, which is awarded to the Society which has the reception in their homeland of Britain, are a Genesis -a -la -Peter Gabriel -days take -off group. Their debut album script for a Jester's Tear sounds remarkably like an extension of From Genesis to Revelation (Genesis, 1969). It would appear that the past can return. Should Genesis continue to be Phil Collins and friends, oh, sure, I'll still buy the albums, but it will be Marillion for me. Rating: Genesis: 7 out of 10. Marillion: 8 out of 10.
