This year, just like every year since 1872, we are documenting the final day for ice on the lake. Many people, over the years, have asked just how the exact day is determined, since it is often gone in some parts of the lake at different times. It was explained to me some 40 years ago, that the ice is deter- mined ‘gone’, when you can stand on the town pier, look northward and see no visible sign of ice. And while this year we saw fishermen standing along the shores and some brave ones venturing out in their boats on Saturday, April 9 - there was still a large field of ice mid-way up the lake, visible from the dock. Fortunately warmer temperatures the following day took care of the remaining remnants of ice, opening the lake for another season. So, for those who do keep track - the official “Ice Out” date for 2011 will be recorded as - Sunday, April 10. This makes the eighth time since records began that the ice has left Lake Scugog on this exact date. Below are the earliest and latest dates on record for the ice to make its spring departure from Lake Scugog. * Earliest date - March 16, 1983 * Latest date - April 29, 1965 VICTOR IN DiamondsTHE 2 DAY EVENT Thurs, May 12th, 6-9pm Rough& SALE Trillium Trails Dinner & Presentation Friday, May 13th, 6-9pm Play with Rough Diamonds Dana’s Goldsmithing One of a kind rough diamond Hundreds of New Ring Designs The necklace on display WIN a third of a carat Play with Rough Diamonds IDEAL2 Victor Diamond OGemntario Proceeds to the Scugog Memorial Public Library Expansion OFF% of Tickets $50 each All Jewellery Diamond Presentation by Ron Gashinski 25 Director/Chief Gemmologist & Semi-Mounts Ear Studs* Diamonds that are mined, cut and polished in Ontario Government of Ontario Free Dylan Dix *with purchase of any Ontario Victor Diamond Marketing Director HRA Group. 186 Queen Street Port Perry 905.985.2953 www.danasgoldsmithing.com FOCUS - MAY 2011 Changing Faces!

    The Irish Rovers Live at the River Rock Show Theatre

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE OCTOBER 21, 2008 RIVER ROCK CASINO RESORT PRESENTS THE IRISH ROVERS LIVE AT THE RIVER ROCK SHOW THEATRE TUESDAY, MARCH 17 FOR TWO SHOWS ON ST. PATRICK’S DAY! The Irish Rovers are the international ambassadors of Irish music and have charmed and entertained people all over the world. It was in 1963 when 16-year old George Millar and 23-year old Jim Ferguson, both new emigrants from Northern Ireland, met in Toronto at an Irish function. They ended up singing together until dawn and it was right there and then that the Irish Rovers were launched. They performed as a duo until George's cousin, Joe Millar, immigrated to Canada the following year. After several months of engagements throughout Ontario, the trio made their way to Calgary where they joined forces with George's brother, Will Millar. The group then headed to the United States in 1965 where they ended up headlining for an unprecedented 22 sold- out weeks at The Purple Onion in San Francisco. The folk clubs of California became the learning grounds for the young Rovers and a year later, they were offered a recording contract with Decca Records. The First Of The Irish Rovers, a live album recorded at The Icehouse in Pasadena was released and it generated enough excitement to warrant another album and from this release came the million selling single “The Unicorn” … the band’s signature song to this day. Wilcil McDowell, an old friend from Ireland, joined the band at this time enhancing their sound and rounding out the group.

    BIOGRAPHY: SHEL SILVERSTEIN CHILDREN’S AUTHOR, ONE-OF-A-KIND SONGWRITER Shel Silverstein is most famous, especially among younger generations, for the best-selling children’s books that he wrote and illustrated: The Giving Tree, Where the Sidewalk Ends, and A Light in the Attic. But Silverstein’s abundant creativity also stretched into songwriting, and he played a significant role in Outlaw- era music making. “Shel is the greatest lyricist there ever was,” said Country Music Hall of Fame member Bobby Bare, who frequently collaborated with Silverstein. “What he writes is so, so descriptive — so visual — that you couldn’t help but respond to it.” Born on September 25, 1930, in Chicago, Silverstein soaked up country music as a boy, but he felt the strongest tug toward art and words that were meant to be read. “When I was a kid — twelve, fourteen, around there — I would much rather have been a good baseball appeared on the landmark Wanted! The Outlaws album player or a hit with the girls,” he recalled. “But I couldn’t in 1976. Waylon Jennings released “The Taker” play ball. I couldn’t dance. Luckily, the girls didn’t want (co-written with Kris Kristofferson) in 1971. Silverstein me; not much I could do about that. So, I started to also scored two hits on the 1972 pop chart with Dr. Hook draw and to write.” & the Medicine Show’s “Cover of the Rolling Stone” and “Sylvia’s Mother.” Drafted into the U.S. Army in 1953, Silverstein became the staff cartoonist for the Pacific edition of Stars and The songwriter formed an enduring partnership with Stripes, the military newspaper.

    Introduction to Global Music the Center for European

    Introduction to Global Music The Center for European Studies (CES) and other Area Studies Centers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill are collaborating with the student-run radio station WXYC in the production of the Global Music Show. This monthly hour-long program features music from a particular area of the world combined with commentary by guest scholars, who discuss the music played in the context of the culture and history of the region that produced it. To support cultural learning, CES has created student listening guides, pre- and post-listening discussion questions, and resource links for each of their Global Music programs. The programs run about one hour, and so listening and discussion would work well for block schedule classes. If your class runs the traditional hour length, you can have the class listen over two periods, and then discuss. Alternatively, you can assign the listening for homework, and hold the discussion during class time. Music can teach us much about a culture that never appears in a textbook. Use these programs and teaching resources to connect your students with European cultures in a dynamic, new way. Encourage students to continue their exploration of Europe through music. Irish Stew Professor Nicholas Allen and Reece McGowen Pre-Listening Questions Ask students to think about these questions before you listen to the program. Write their answers on the board. 1. You’re going to hear some Irish music. Make some predictions. What instruments do you expect to hear? What kind of songs will you be listening to? What will the songs be about? 2.

    “Fascinating Facts” August 2018

    Daily Sparkle CD - A Review of Famous Songs of the Past “Fascinating Facts” August 2018 Track 1 On Top of Old Smokey On Top of Old Smoky is a traditional folk song and a well-known ballad of the United States. Old Smoky may be a high mountain somewhere in the Ozarks or the central Appalachians, as the tune bears the stylistic hallmarks of the Scottish and Irish people who settled the region. Mitchell "Mitch" Miller (July 4, 1911 – July 31, 2010) was prominent in the American music industry. Miller was involved in almost all aspects of the industry, working as a musician, singer, conductor, record producer and record company executive. Miller was one of the most influential people in American popular music during the 1950s and early 1960s, both as the head of A&R at Columbia Records and as a best-selling recording artist with an NBC television series, Sing Along with Mitch. Track 2 Island In The Sun A song comprised of traditional Jamaican music. Belafonte starred in a film of the same name in 1957. Harry Belafonte born Harold George "Harry" Belafonte, Jr. (born March 1, 1927) is an American singer, songwriter, actor and social activist. He was dubbed the "King of Calypso" for popularizing the Caribbean musical style with an international audience in the 1950s. Belafonte is perhaps best known for singing The Banana Boat Song, with its signature lyric "Day-O". Throughout his career he has been an advocate for civil rights and humanitarian causes and was a vocal critic of the policies of the George W.
