p.eec:Jb. therapy progr
By Shelley McPhee
People like Jennifer Brabant have
helped to provide the area with the most
up-to-date services available,
Working in connection with hospitals in
Clinton and Goderich, Jennifer has been
offering her services as a speech
pathologist for the past year.
Prior to Jennifer's appointment last
April, the Clinton hospital had been
temporarily serviced by a speech
pathologist from the Wingham and
District ..Hospital. Realizing there was an
evident need for a full time therapist, (4,
Jennifer was hired.
Working three days out of office space
provided in the former Nurses' Residence
in Clinton and two days in Goderich,
Jennifer sees nine to 12 patients each day.
She also has a waiting list of two to three
mond,
Jer admits that the help from a
second ogist Would eliminate the
waitliig 4he realizes however that ber
depaelut is only beginning to develop
and it will be some tine before it has ex
pandedillto a two -person operation,
The steadily increasing workload
doesn't trouble Jennifer. She explained,
"What's good is that doctors are actually
starting to refer patients."
Referrals to the speech pathology
department come from local doctors and
public health nurses. Patients range in age
from pre-school children to senior citizens,
however Jennifer's present caseload is
primarily Made up of youngsters.
She plans to do more work with adults,
particularly stroke victims, and hopes to
conduct evaluations at Huronview. Jen-
nifer believes that there is a need for more
Behind the scenes
at the Bly e Festival
By Shelley McPhee
When the lights shine, the
curtain rises and the 1983
season of the Blyth Summer
Festival begins, the au-
dience will see the final
culmination of months of
planning and preparation.
Friday evening the
Festival will open its season
with a new Canadian play
Nobody's Child. Set in 1910
the play written by Janice
Wiseman tells the story of
two poor English children,
Jack and Winnie, who are
sent from the Barnardo
Homes in England to find
work and a new beginning in
Canada. The play revolves
around these two children
who struggle to better
themselves.
Young Jack is sent to work
on a farm owned by Tom and
Agnes Cunningham. Mrs.
Cunningham too has an am-
bitious goal for the future.
One of the first veterinary.
nurses in Canada, her dream
is to succeed at her work in
an effort to buy back her
grandfather's farm in
England.
Audiences at Blyth will see
the story unfold on the stage.
However what the audience
does not see is how plays like
Nobody's Child are created
and developed for their stage
debuts at Blyth.
It takes the talent, im-
agination and hard work of
playwrights, directors, pro-
ducers, lighting and sound
technicians, scenic painters,
costume designers,
carpenters, the property
mistress, and of course the
actors and actresses, to br-
ing Blyth Festival produc-
tions to the stage.
For the past month the
Festival staff have been
focussing all their attention
and energies towards the
opening play of the season,
Nobody's Child.
Taking Ms. Wiseman's
script and play concept,
each department ' has
studied, discussed and sug-
gested ideas in an effort to
re-create an authentic 1910
rural Canadian setting.
In the set design 'depart-
ment, scenic painter Jules
Tonus has had the detailed
task of building the interior
of a country farmhouse.
Using a small scrap of long
forgotten wallpaper, he has
made a papered wall which
closely resembles the in-
tricate design of the original
covering. Wood panelling for
walls has been made with a
versatile theatre product,.
scenic dope. The thick liquid
is made from calcium car-
bonate, white paint and glue.
Jules spread the scenic dope
on sheets of board, then tool-
ed in a wood grain texture. A
brown wash completes the
natural wood look.
A set is not complete until
all the furniture and ac-
cessories are added. As pro-
perty mistress it is Elaine
Allen's job to give the set its
realistic finishing touches.
After reading the script
Elaine determines what
items she will need. She's
then off in her pick-up truck
on an all-out campaign to
borrow as much furniture'
and extras as can be found.
Blyth Festival Board
members and local stores
help out in this department.
Some items must be pur-
chased but Elaine noted,
"There's never enough time
or money with summer
theatre."
Antique furniture pieces
are the most difficult items
to borrow. People are not
willing to tend their prized
-antiques, Elaine admitted.
Just last week Elaine finally
searched out a sideboard,
suitable to the 1910 setting.
On Saturdays Elaine can
usually he found browsing
and buying at the various
garage sales in the area.
However for Nobody's Child
the property mistress has
had an extraordinary task,
locating old veterinarian
tools. Vet clinics in
Wingham, Goderich and
London helped Elaine locate
some rather vicious looking
tools, like horse tooth.extrac-
tors and birthing shears.
Working on a tight time
schedule, Elaine is con-
stantly on the look -out for
props. Her job is made much
easier with the use .of her
nearby telephone.
"The.phone and the yellow
pages are my best friends,"
she noted, before heading
out to see a collection of blue
granite ware, more ac-
cessories which will give
Nobody's Child its
believable, authentic look.
Next door to Elaine's
piled -high office is the
costuming department.
Resident costume
designer and cutter Kerry
Hackett and her assistant
Karen McVey spend their
days creating and altering
the impressive display of
outfits worn by cast
members.
For Nobody's Child the
costuming department duo
have altered and prepared 18
outfits, including 10 period
costumes, fashioned from
Kerry's own drawings.
Before .. creating the
costumes, Kerry, meets with
the director to establish the
type of outfits that will best
suit the play. They discuss
the time period, the setting,
the characters' roles and
personalities. Kerry then
begins researching her pro-
ject by studying old photos
and catalogues and her im-
pressions and ideas are put
to paper. After drawings are
approved by the director
Kerry starts shopping for
material, costumes that can
be altered, shoes, hats and
all the accessories needed to
complete the'costumes.
Costuming for Nobody's
Child has been a particular
challenge for Kerry and
Karen. The time setting for
the play. 1910, was an in-
distinct fashion period. Still
the Blyth Summer Festival
costuming department has
created an array of special
outfits that will round out the
season opener.
Another behind the scenes
department that rarely
shines in the limelight is the
production crew. Some of the
hardest working Festival
staffers can be found here,
building all the parts for the
critically acclaimed sets.
Amongst the lumber, tools
and sawdust can be found
two of the Summer
Festival's happiest
mployees, , 19 -year-old
usan Klabunde of London
Il and Ann Webster. 20, of
Wingham.
Summer students at the
theatre, Susan and Ann have
impressive sounding work
titles, but both happily ad-
mit. '`we're the go-fers."
Ann, a recent graduate
from the Niagara College of
Theatre Arts,:••is spending
her third 'summer at the
Festival, working as the pro-
duction assistant and
technical co-ordinator for
the children's theatre.
Susan, a second year student
at the H.B. Beal Art School
in London, is the assistant
carpenter.
Ann and Susan help to
build sets, run errands, meet
actors at the train station in
Stratford and spend a great
deal of time carrying
materials up -to the second
floor carpentry workshop.
"Today," Susan said, "we
moved four years worth of
old sets from a barn. It was a
lug around day. We're often
seen trotting down the
streets, lugging pails of
stuff."
"People get used to seeing
us at it again," Ann noted.
What makes Susan and
Ann so special is not their
jobs. but their attitudes.
They happily giggle and find
fun in most chores, and both
agree that their summer
work is giving them good ex-
perience which will enhance
their future theatrical
careers.
Ann and Susan share a
common feeling with all the
people who have made the
Blyth Summer Festival one
of the top theatres in the na-
tion.
Jules Tonus simply says
that Blyth is a lovely place to
work. The Festival's com-
mitment to produce new
Canadian shows, is the "in-
credible part of this place,"
according to Jules.
His first summer at Blyth,
Jules. noted that in an effort
to work for the Festival "I
phoned every day and left all
these huge messages."
Elaine Allen is back for
her second year at Blyth as
property mistress. She loves
the friendly character of the
village and the time people
take to stop and visit.
For Kerry Hackett, the
Blyth Summer Festival has
given her ..an opportunity; to -
design and co-ordinate her
own shop, with her own
choice of assistant.
Kerry is spending her
third summer in Blyth and
she said off the village, "Its a
healthy community, it
makes me feel good."
It is with this positive at-
titude and a' great apprecia-
tion for the audience sup-
port, that the behind the
scenes departments at the
Blyth Summer Festival
work. The enthusiasm, pro-
fessionalism and perfection
all help make Blyth plays
sure hits.
•
offered in Goderich
speech therapy work with stroke victims,
explaining that therapy should begin as
soon as patients are physically able.
All speech therapy begins with a referral
and assessment of the problem. Speech,
bearing,.and language skills are all tested,
muscles and fluency in the voice are also
examined.
Half-hour therapy sessions for each
patient are held on a weekly basis,
although Jennifer feels that patients
should be seen two or three times a week.
Time limitations are supplemented by
extra at-home therapy. The family
becomes involved here, encouraging
regular practice. Jennifer noted, "Parents
are so appreciative that there is someone
to help."
"Recovery doesn't happen overnight,"
she stressed, but noted that adults who
have had strokes or disabling accidents
often make quicker progress. They work
hailer, she explained, in their efforts to
• regain the full speech control they once
had.
In her role3as speech pathologist, Jen-
nifer believes, "Patience and perception
are what you need for the work."
Jennifer trained in her home state, ,
Michigan, with four years undergraduate
and two years masters studies.
Finding few jobs available in Detroit,
she accepted the challenge offered by the
Clinton Public and Alexandra Marine and
General Hospital. In little over a year she
has developed and implemented a full
scale speech therapy program.
Services such as this are now giving
local people advanced medical help that
only a few years ago was only available at
larger urban centres.
