Newtonville Alive by: Peggy Mullan Nurses required for Easter Seal camp Orono Weekly limes, Wednesday, June 1, 1988-7 Lemonade on ice. Cool dips in the pool. The company of dear friends. All "refreshments" in their own special way. Refreshment came to town a short while back in the form of a dynamic family band. The McGrath Family, a band whose musical energy and talents sparked everyone in the room. If a person had a pre-conceived notion about* a family band being somewhat boring, it would have been dissolved once this particular group turned on their microphones and let loose their diversified country/rock country/rock sounds. Formed about six years ago, the McGrath Family band consists of six members. Mike Sr. is the father, he plays banjo, guitar, drums and saxophone and also sings lead and harmony vocals. Mike taught his children to play their instruments. When the band was in Newcastle at this time, Mike had been in the hospital for awhile, but now is S reported doing well. Mother Pat and daughter Trish make their tunes come alive as they both do lead and harmony vocals, • eighteen year old Trish masters the mandolin, guitar and drums. Since the age of eight, the mandolin has been her main instrument. (These two could be Canada's answer to "The Judds" down in Nashville). To watch and listen to the three sons is a treat. Mike Jr. plays lead guitar, and also sings harmony and lead. Now fifteen, Mike has been playing guitar for nine years. Middle Middle brother Tom (blue suede shoes..) McGrath plays a mean bass guitar. He also handles the bass fiddler fiddler and rhythm guitar along with singing too. Tommy was at the bass when he was just four years ofiage. Dan is ten. He is the 1987 Junior Canadian Fiddle Champion. You can imagine how good this guy is...Danny has beer, playing the fid- - die since he was four, and also is the groups main drummer. He handles - the backup fiddle as well as many lead tunes. ...A pretty special family. The McGrath Family band have appeared on the Tommy Hunter Show, at the Roy Thompson Hall, Cullen's Country Barns and more, including Bluegrass Festivals across Ontario. They will be back the wepkend of June 24th at the Newcastle Inn (sometimes known affectionately as "The Hole in the Wall.") just east of Newcastle Village. We're hoping to take our children - they'd get a kick out of the McGraths. . Best wishes in the world are extended extended out to the McGrath Family Band. It is great to sec and support refreshing Canadian talent on the move. Little Scoops... - My daughter turned seven this past weekend. Sometimes it seems as though she is seven going on twenty. If you have a little girl, I'll bet you know what I mean. I got a chuckle out of all the seven girls at our little celebration..they were all quite alike. Giggle, talk, talk, eat and eat more. Even the staff at the restaurant seemed to enjoy these busy little cinderallas! - June 18th i^the date set for an interesting interesting bus/shopping trip to several large outlet centres at the Dixie Mall in Mississauga.

Yes, that deadly time which could decide on future endeavours or between pass and fail - to credit or no credit has come to terrify those individuals of Clarke High School. This is when teachers get even with all those students who have been - shall we say....unbearable, not very cooperative, down right naughty. Teachers thrive on making long and unnecessary examinations. These exams usually consist of hard and un solvable questions that have ■ surfaced throughout the semester at sometime or Other. Exams could be thought as a teachers legal way of committing vengence or physical assault. An examination fourteen pages and 4 Vi hours long is like a physical blow to the abdomen. Not to mention what it does to one's - brain. Exams will run from June 15th - 20th starting time either at 9:00 a.m. or 1:00 p.m. So for all those students who are still out to all hours of the night and haven't started studying yet.
