How’d they figure that).They advised luxury car dealers to be on the look out for anyone with large numbers of Doubloonies.(Wouldn’t you think they’d notice a guy buying an expensive car with coins anyway?) They also declared the coins powerful about the show.” In addition to following the lifelong journey of a pianist, Dykstra and Greenblatt travel the musical spectrum while performing a diversity of songs on the pair of Yamaha grand pianos.From “In My Little Birch Canoe” to Bach, Schubert and Mozart, the music itself is a tribute to the actors’ talented musical backgrounds.Each took piano lessons into their teenage years and 2 Pianos, 4 Hands is a reflection of their own youthful passions.“Each night when I do the show I am reminded of the things I went through as a child,” said Dykstra.“It makes me both full of wonder and terror.But I am glad that I went through it all.” Greenblatt wants the audience to take something important home with them—a would not be easily spent but admitted they could be laundered through casinos, vending machine operators or other businesses with large numbers of coins.The Brinks Job took 11 men two years to plan, minutes to execute and six years to crack.The Great Train Robbery required 12 men, an army truck, two jaguars and a motorcycle but less than a seventh of the loot has been recovered.When asked if he thought the mint would get its money back, the mint’s vice president said he wouldn’t bet on it.Clearly there are chapters of the Great Doubloon Caper still to be written.renewed interest in ensuring that music is a significant part of their lives.“In this age of cut-backs, music and the arts are very often the first to go,” Greenblatt said.“It is a disturbing trend and dangerous movement that is taking away something of intrinsic value that provides basic learning tools for children.Music can change the world because it is a very powerful force that can be attached to every aspect of our lives.” “There’s a lot of argument about the value of classical music,” Dykstra added.“I believe it is completely meaningful and relevant to our lives.It will always be important.” Filled with insights about growing up, 2 Pianos, 4 Hands presents a metaphor that allows us to relive our own journey through childhood and adolescence.“The story is meaningful for everyone.You can substitute tennis for piano and the play would still be the same,” said Dykstra.“It’s everyone’s play and that’s what makes it magic.” In an era that thrives on competition and aggressive personalities, Dykstra and Greenblatt remind us of a value that has gotten lost in the dust of our ardour to succeed.““Just because you’re not the best, doesn’t mean you can’t still enrich your life and bring joy,” said Dykstra.““All that matters is that you love the music and are playing as well as you possibly can at that moment,” Greenblatt added.With enviable selfacceptance, Greenblatt quoted the last line of the play, “and that will have to do.” 2 Pianos, 4 Hands is currently playing at The Piggery in North Hatley through August 24.Tel: (819) 842-2431.LOCAL & LONG DISTANCE MOVING 908- 12th Avenue N., Sherbrooke MOVING • PACKING • STORAGE Canada • United States • Overseas DEMENAGEMENT 819-563-3311 4 Hands a musical metaphor for life Ted Dykstra and Richard Greenblatt star in 2 Pianos, 4 Hands. The Record—-TOWNSHIPS WEEK— August 9-18, 1996—3 TALK OF THE TOWNSHIPS ?Sherbrooke film fest to open with Roch Demers’ latest ¦ • ¦ w Wtider Organizers of the fourth annual Sherbrooke international film festival are keeping most of their plans under wraps for now.However, at a press conference earlier this week for the International du cinema de Sherbrooke, they did announce the opening film for the 10-day fest, taking place September 6 to 15 at Maison du Cinema in downtown Sherbrooke.That will be the crime drama Le silence des fusils, produced by Roch Demers.This is a departure from his Tales For All series of films, known to young audiences around the globe.“He’s really high up on the cultural scene.He’s an ambassador,” said Helene Vanier, the festival’s director.“The film is a fiction, a crime drama, about the murders of two native Indians in the Grand Nord.” Lennoxville’s Centennial Theatre is not participating in the fest this year.Vanier said they just did not get the attendance expected last year.“The original English versions of films did better there than at Maison du Cinema, but not enough to renew the contract,” said Vanier, who promised “at least one film in its “English version” this time around.Vanier is particularly proud of the fest’s new connection with the Granda Theatre.“We’re going to have the original silent version of The Hunchback of Notre Dame there.That’s really nice because the Granada was built first 99 Days of Summer By Sunil Mahtani for silent films.So, we’re going to revive it.I’m really happy about that.That’s a dream I had.” The 1923 film will be accompanied by painist Gabriel Thibodeau, percussionist Peter Magadini and clarinet player Robert M.Lepage.It will be presented on Sunday, September 8 at 7 p.m.Prices for this year’s fest have been kept low — $7 regular, $5 for students.The silent film with musical accompaniment will cost $10.Booklets for three or five films are available for $18 and $25.Held concurrently with the festival will be two exhibitions.One, at the Eva-Senecal library, will be a show of movie posters, and the other, at Galerie Horace, will display a collection of contemporary art on the theme of cinema.Festival president Guv Dubuc was enthusiastic about the state of cinema today.He said the form is hitting new heights, citing the recent announcement that the old Montreal Forum will be turned into an enterainment complex housing 30 cinema screens.He said this points to a trend of more and more people want to watch movies in cinema halls.“We thought a few years ago because of videos and everything, people would (stay at home), but they have to go to the cinema,” he said.“People go to the cinema to see a new world, a world where they see themselves, a new vision of themselves or a look at the future.It helps people to have a new understanding of the world and of themselves.” “People need to dream.” Here’s your Days of Summer list for the following week: Friday, August 9 — Day

Nadeau —- Ralph Steiner and Bill Jarand star in Louis and Dave, one of the three Lust For Laughs comedies presented at Echo Art.Record Correspondent BROME — No one could call Bill Jarand’s life boring.After spending the last year travelling and teaching in South America, Jarand has gone from being Echo Art’s arts and crafts instructor to an overnight starring role in the dinner theatre’s upcoming trilogy of one-act plays.Eugene Brotto was slated to make his non-singing stage debut on August 15, but fate intervened in the form of a rugby accident.A tournament in Saranac Lake last weekend resulted in a bad leg injury which required a cast.Although the plays do not involve dancing, acting as a golf pro demands a certain amount of physical aplomb, hence the last-minute rescue by Jarand.Just like the movies or on Broadway — only Jarand wasn’t even the understudy; he was the set designer! Jarand learned about his new role last Monday, leaving him 10 days to learn his lines and moves.He is not worried, however.He has already starred in numerous plays in Winnipeg, as well as the lead in two films: Tenants and Landlords and Holding Up.Both were shot by the Winnipeg Film Group (Jarand graduated with an Honours B.A.in Fine Art from the University of Winnipeg), and the former was shown on the CBC and in the U.S.Jarand said he is “excited” about taking over, although he is somewhat pressed for time and still has to design and build a set in addition to learning his lines.Jarand recently returned to Knowlton, where his father resides, after five months teaching art in Costa Rica for Canadian Crossroads International.He then travelled through Latin America for another six months.“I had all sorts of mystical experiences,” he recalled.“The most memorable had to be the summer solstice celebrations in Tiuanacuo, which is the oldest known city in the world.” While dinner theatre is a far cry from spending the night at a pagan festival high on a hilltop in Bolivia, everyone else in the cast is happy to have Jarand there.Echo Art veterans Kate Wisdom and Ralph Steiner co-star with Jarand.The evening titled Lust for Laughs and features three short plays — The Problem by American playwright A.R.Gurney, and the Canadian plays Louis and Dave by Norm Foster and Escape from Golf Camp by Rebecca Shaw and Andrew Wreggitt.They were chosen by co-directors Ais Snyder and Sunil Mahtani.‘They are all clever, complex comedies about evolving relationships, about sex, about life,” said Mahtani.The Problem is the longest play at close to 40 minutes and is the centrepiece of the evening.It is an early play by A.R.Gurney, written in 1968, and the audience should expect some twists.“The Problem opens with a man looking up at his hugely pregnant wife only to notice her pregnancy for the first time.From that point it gets crazier, funnier, and more absurd,” explained Mahtani.“It explores the relationship between a husband and wife and the games people play.It works on many different levels,” added Snyder.Steiner and Wisdom star as the couple.“I was completely taken aback by the ending on the first reading,” said Steiner, who also co-starred with Wisdom — as well as Echo Art owner Emma Stevens—in Pizza Man last summer.Wisdom likes her character because the woman is “comfortable with herself.Gurney wrote a little ahead of his time in placing women and men on equal footing.” Louis and Dave features two guys driving down the strip trying to pick up babes on a Saturday night.They have done this together for a long time.Louis is the typical macho guy addicted to sports who suddenly discovers that Dave has taken a whole other route.The play deals with the nature of male friendships and male bonding.“It asks the questions, Why are men friends?Can men be friends over non-macho pleasures like theatre and music?” said Snyder.Steiner stars as Louis and Jarand as Dave.Escape from Golf Camp features all three actors; Jarand plays a narcissistic golf instructor who has a habit of hitting on female students and Wisdom and Steiner play two middle-aged golf enthusiasts who have paid an inordinate amount of money to improve their game at a golf camp.“My character Liz was a better golfer than her husband and he left her because of this,” said Wisdom.“She is such a golf fanatic that she has published golf poetry, like ’Rainbows in the fresh morning dew, the spray of a well-stroked putt on a wet green.”’ “It is a sweet love story in 15 minutes,” said Snyder.Audiences can catch Jarand’s Knowlton debut soon, along with other top-notch local talent, when Lust for Laughs opens on August 15.It runs through August 18.This weekend, Improv Madness, featuring Montreal’s On the Spot Players, take the stage August 9, 10, and 11.For more information and to reserve tickets, please call (514) 242-2048.I /*'¦ ^ 9 9 Saturday August 17 4:30 p.m.to 6:30 p.m.Picnic 6:30 p.m.Concert presented by the ensemble Les Vents d'Orford )RYi AXIOM I tOO 307-3706 «1 119) 843-0909 ipentre d'Arts Bbrford !•!

- - _____ ^ By Sunil Mahtani KNOWLTON - After delighting audiences with the English-language pre miere of Michel Marc Bouchard’s Les grands chaleurs last year, Theatre Lac Brome now offers another debut during the first heat wave of this summer - a tale of passion, dreams and Desire.Another anglophone world premiere and anoth er Bouchard comedy, Desire is what heats up for six characters involved in a wedding taking place at a lakeside cottage.“The play is about differ ent kinds of desires, and what people desire,” said Susan Glover, who portrays the wedding coordi nator, a woman who longed for a different life for herself.“She’s going through a di vorce.She found her hua band has a friend on the side, but she’s trying not to let that get to her,” said Glover.“Her job involves looking at the bright side of things, but she doesn’t feel very cheer fill.” Glover plays the only character outside a rather colorful family.There’s the anxious bride-to-be (Missy Christensen), her unmar ried sister (Ellen David), the groom (Andrew Tarbet), his dad (David Francis) and his father’s longtime companion (Rob in Denault).“These are people in dif ferent stages of a relation ship,” said Glover.“Or non-relationship,” Da vid continued.“The two men are in a long-term re lationship, they question how do they keep desire.The other couple are just Susan Glover, Missy Christensen and Ellen David examine what women Desire in the current produc- tion at Theatre Lac Brome.beginning, they’re afraid of losing desire, and the two women, one is at the end of a relationship and the other is looking for one.” Director Micheline Chevri er is mining familiar terri tory at Theatre Lac Brome this summer.Last season, she directed the touching play De Beaux Gestes et Beautiful Deeds, which painted a vivid por trait of the dreams and de sires of three very different women.Chevrier said unlike that bilingual play, Desire does not contain francophone references even though it is a translation of a Québécois play.“This play is about peo pie,” she said simply.‘De Beaux Gestes is about cultures, and the differences in cultures, so a lot of the French was important.Here we transport a whole David Francis and Robin Denault.‘flips all the attitudes towards gay relationships’.world onto the English.The best translations are if you totally forget about the French and go for the same truth in the English world.” Chevrier, artistic director of Ottawa’s Great Canadi an Theatre Company, said she was attracted to the language of the play.She stressed that for an Eng lish translation to be a sue cess, it is vital to find a so cial context anglophones can understand and relate to.“The best translation I’ve seen of (Michel Tremblay’s) Les Belles Soeurs was in Scottish, where they really went for the brogue.And the spirit of it did not change at all,” she added.“Comedies are extremely anchored in the world where they are performed.For Quebec, there’s a lot of jouai.Here, I had to learn where I am and who these people are.I had to find out where these people come from.” In this process, she said some of the characters had to be toned down.“The gay characters are far more exhuberant in French.Here, we had to go more restrained to find the truth.The most impor tant thing in comedy is to find the truth.” These anglophones in Quebec have it somewhat easier than the Québécois workhorse of a mother depicted in De Beaux Gestes “They have a nicer cottage, a nicer home, they have education, a bit of money,” she said.“It’s the Eastern Townships - on the right side of the lake.” She said Bouchard has RECORD PHOTOS: PERRY BEATON once again created quirky and endearing characters, yet the play is much lighter than Heat Wave.“That was far more of a family drama, about an older woman trying to get her life together and her children.Bouchard also puts a subversive tack on life.An older woman in love with a younger man, the young woman in love with an older man, the gay guy can’t find love.This is a play more on the theme of desire (than any specific relationships).” Bouchard’s “subversive tack” is still very much in evidence.The father of the groom is a ‘gay divorcee’ (David Francis) who raised his son with his lover.“His son has been raised by two male parents, and (the father) is very wary towards hetrosexual rela tionships, so it flips all the attitudes towards gay rela tionships,” said Francis, who last appeared at the theatre solo as the star of the one-man show Leacock Speaks a couple of seasons ago.Francis said he’s enjoying the company on stage and off.“It’s a great play with a great cast - a great relief,” he said with a smile, adding it certainly has its challenges.“There’s a lot more to think about (on stage),” he said.“The hardest thing in theatre is to listen to others.The other thing, which is good and difficult, is that you’re so dependent on each other.That collaboration is wonderful." Francis is equally pleased with his director.“She’s one of the best.She’s so totally honest and creative.She knows what she’s doing, she understands theatre,” he said.“She’s got great confidence.If she doesn't know how to make some thing work, she’s says T don’t know’, and that’s great for the actors be cause they can all put their heads together and work it out.” “And she’s a great laugh er,” he added with a chuckle.“She’s a lot of fun in rehearsal.” If audiences have half as much fun during the performances as the actors seem to be having in re hearsals, Theatre Lac Brome sounds like a most desirous place to be.Desire is playing at Thea tre Lac Brome through August 24.For tickets or more information, call (514) 242-2270.Missy Christensen, Susan Glover, Ellen David, Andrew larbet, people in different stages of relationships. ¦¦Hi lllllllll V>: :-aii&Mi ¦ ¦: J * ïmw.i jJÉ$p|^ ¦HI tuez*** 6—The Record—TOWNSHIPS WEEK— Auguat 9-16, 1996 TALK OF THE TOWNSHIPS Coaticook museum traces evolution of eating utensils cutlery and formal dining, tools began to get elaborate.There is the collection from Pierre Cabana with 16 possible eating instruments that could be found beside the plate of each guest.These could include an ice cream fork, a bouillon spoon and a fruit knife.Naturally the same inventive spirit was applyed to serving tools.There are nastylooking duck shears, a berry spoon, a sardine fork and a game set.This flamboyance was not confined to formal settings, as illustrated by the straw spoon with the hollow stem.Visitors should investigate the marrow spoons and the tongue scraper, and the items on the mystery table.It might be possible to add to the sum of knowledge by identifying an unknown object.Until 1964, Wallace Silversmiths manufactured beautiful silverware in Cookshire.There is a series of photographs showing the various processes with descriptions of what was going on.From Fingers To Table Utensils is currently on display at Musee Beaulne in Coaticook through the summer.Tel: (819) 849-6560.By Perry Beaton Fingers came before forks.Long before forks came knives.Knives were the only utensil used if we are to believe a painting from 1617.That painting, and a wonderful exhibition of cutlery is on view at the Beaulne museum in Coaticook for the summer.From Fingers To Table Utensils traces the evolution of eating and utensils.We learn that in bygone days, everyone carried their own sharp, pointed knife, either around the neck, in a pocket or hanging on a belt.Occasionally people got into arguments, which led to lots of nasty knife fights.All this was revealed in the year of research conducted by Mariette Charlebois Lacoste (pictured right) in preparation for the exhibit.There is an 18th century pewter table setting.There were still no knives on the table at that time; everyone brought their own in snazzy cases, just as one would bring their own toothbrush if travelling.Early silversmiths in Quebec did not live the high life mostly because silver was very hard to get.When people finally invented The Record—TOWNSHIPS WEEK— August 9-16, 1996—7 WHAT'S ON Milil (j |ll|M WHAT'S ON events_________________________________ EXPO TICKETS are on sale for a fundraising event for Township Toddlers, a division of the Montreal Children’s Hospital, for Sunday, August 11.Tickets: $10 (includes transportation and a free lunch box donated by the Expos).Bus leaving from Massey-Vanier, Cowansville.Limited tickets.For more information call (514) 266-1716 or 292-3501.LOUIS S.ST-LAURENT FARMERS’ MARKET, all kinds of fresh fruits and vegetables, also cheeses, jams, pies, pates, juices, vinegars, etc.Every Saturday until September 28 from 10 a.m.to 4 p.m.at 6 Principale South, Compton.3RD ANNUAL MINERALOGICAL FAIR will be held in Asbestos, at the Notre-Dame-de Toutes-Joies Church, Panneton St., on Saturday, August 17 from 10 a.m.to 10 p.m.and on Sunday, August 18 from 10 a.m.to 6 p.m.Sale of minerals, fossils and jewellery.Museum exhibits.Admission free.All welcome.QUILT REGISTRY on Saturday, August 10 from 10 a.m.to 4 p.m.at the Baptist Church, Man-sonville.Sponsored by the Potton Valley Quilters.For more information: (514) 292-5680 or 292-3210.CORN ROAST & POT-LUCK SUPPER to be held at the Ives Hill Community Hall on Saturday, August 10 from 5 p.m.to 7 p.m.Sponsored by the Salmon Valley Fish and Game Club.All you can eat!

FAX 819-569-3945 8—The Record—TOWNSHIPS WEEK— August 9-16, 1996 [MUSIC CD winners at Sherbrooke Fair Country ABCs: Akins, Cummings and Ball and better.David Ball.After spending last week at the Sherbrooke Fair, I have come to realize that there are a lot more country fans around than I ever thought.I had the chance to meet quite a few of my readers and I thank you very much for the good comments.I will sure keep on giving you information on what’s happening on the country music scene.CHRIS CUMMINGS: Somewhere Inside (Warner) Cummings is another singer who we can add to the list of artists representing Canada on the American country scene.Born in St.John, New Brunswick, on August 11, 1975, and raised in Rural Norton, Cummings sang in church and high school productions before a demo tape of his own songs eventually brought him to Nashville.His first album, Somewhere Inside, with its successful single, “I Waited”, holds the promise of a bright future.The young artist wrote or cowrote eight of the 10 tracks on the album.Love is the main topic of most of his songs: Love gone sour, lost and found love and memories of love.The highlights on this album are “Almost Always”, “Never Thought Of You That Way” and “Sure Enough”.Cummings has a real talent for interpreting his material with a bundle of emotions.Despite a youthful 20 years of age, Cummings has already performed with some of country’s biggest names, such as Martina McBride, John Michael Montgomery and Garth Brooks.He’s even appeared live on national television.Chris Cummings is definitely an artist to watch, an exciting new talent worth listening Country Connection By Jessie Aulis to.DAVID BALL: Starlite Lounge (Warner) Ball’s first single, “Thinkin’ Problem”, was one of the biggest-selling country singles of 1994.His first album earned him Grammy, Country Music Association and Academy of Country nominations.So, what should you expect from the sophomore album of this human jukebox?Everything is bigger and, if possible, better.Ball is hitting harder and cutting deeper with some infectious fiddle, steel and electric guitar.The type of music he has to offer will, without a doubt, transport you into a honky-tonk and his inspired songwriting is reminiscent of Webb Pierce, Ernest Tubb and a young George Jones.“That feelin’ is just what I do,” Ball said.“For me, the first test of a song is whether it will work in a dance hall.” His songwriting has its roots in the 50s.“What I’ve always tried to do is kind of moosh the 50s and the 90s together,” said Ball, a Chris Cummings.debut album future.south Carolina native who came of age musically in central Texas dancehalls.“But on Starlite Lounge I think I’ve expended my boundaries a little bit more.This time around, the ballads are a little stronger, yet on the hard-hittin’ stuff, we stretched a little on that end, too.” Although Ball is very faithful to his style, the new album shows his evolution as an artist and a human being.“I learn something about myself every time I write a song,” Ball explained.“For instance, that little scenario that’s painted in ‘The Bottle That Pours The Wine’ has happened to me many, many times.The song is kind of my reflection on what’s happened to me since the success of ‘Thinkin’ Problem’.” The first single, “Circle Of Friends”, will remind you of Garth Brooks’ “Friends In Low Places” with a much more positive approach.The album includes romantic shuffles such as “If You’d Like Some Lovin’” and “I’ve Got My Baby On My Mind”.There’s also dance-friendly romantic celebrations like “-Bad Day For The Blues”.“I Never Did Know” is an irresistible gem with its beautiful, sad vocals, mesmerizing guitar, while there’s also the up-tempo, “What Kind Of Hold” and “Hangin’ In And Hangin’ On”.If you like ballads, there’s the introspective “I’ll Never Make It Through This Fall” and the moving tribute to anyone who’s ever found personal meaning in a country song on “The Bottle That Pours The Wine”.Ball wrote or co-wrote nine of the 10 tracks so the album bares the imprint of his talent, emotional outlook on life and holds the promise of a bright sense of honky-tonkin’ good time.This album is one of the five best country albums recorded in 1996.It is pure and honest country made for the pleasure, satisfaction and love of music instead of being just a raw money-making business.Bravo David Ball! RHETT AKINS: Somebody New (Decca) It is kind of hard for a new artist to come up with a second album and make sure it’s going to top the first one.In Akins’ case, even more so.After the success of “That Ain’t My Truck”, “She Said Yes” and “I Brake For Brunettes”, Akins is out to get more than brunettes in his fan base.The Georgia native has a new album on the market titled Somebody New and goodtime music is certainly the best description for his latest effort.The sexy singer co-wrote five of the numbers and the others are sung by well-known names such as Bob DiPiero (Pam Til-lis’ husband), Dean Dillon, Larry Boone and Craig Wiseman.“No Match (For That Old Flame)” and “Love You Back” are set to contagious, chugging rhythms and are good album openers.Right off, you’re in tune for what’s coming.There’s also the party ode “K-I-S-S-I-N-G”, a finger-pickin’, two-steppin’, sing-along number.Indeed, many watching the New Country Network even just a bit already knows the lyrics by heart.On the sad “Somebody New”, Akins’ Southern twang serves him to the fullest as he sings about a lost love, while the • same twang is used on the romantic “Don’t Get Me Started” as he sings about love at first sight.The swingin’ “Every Cowboy’s Dream” is a spirited tune and a salute to Bob Wills’ style, while “Too Much Texas” brings you back to yesteryear.While Akins doesn’t offer anything very different on this album, he still sings with an emotional edge that suggests he knows first-hand what he’s singing about.Rhett Akins has every reason to be proud of his new album and he should feel confident that his fan base will enlarge as blondes and redheads will join in with the brunettes.Here’s the name of the people who won CD’s at the Record’s booth at the Sherbrooke Fair: Christiane Lafrance, Sherbrooke; Annie Houle, St-Guillaume; Therese Lessard, Sherbrooke; Josée Bisson, Fleurimont; Lise Dawson, Rock-Forest; Nathalie Roberge, Lennoxville; and Julie Claude, Drummondville.Congratulations to everyone and until next week, stay country!
