through Tuesday nights stage band concert at Sunnidale Park Mote is right to ask the quesr tion Barrie does need band shell and the titrminute concert of big band music successful as it was provided proof why haiidshell is needed for sum mer music concerts in Barrie parks Betty sound and bigger sound proper showcase for the performers lhats only fair to the musi cians who volunteer their time to entertain an audience In any case the first public performance by Motcs band was an unqualified success Mote organized the 16piece band in January and its obi vious that lot of preparation and rehearsal went into Tues days performance And for band thats only been playing together for six months Motes group has achieved remarkably smooth and professional sound With strong backing from the rhythm section 77 Ralph Knapp on drums Marg rr on bass and Marcel Potvin on rhythm guitar 77 Mote led the band concert held Tuesday at Sunnidale Park The 16 plece band performs second park concert June 28 at Centennial Park Examiner Photo First concert knockout through dozen tunes ranging from the Rocky theme to swing classics by Count Basie Mote plays trumpet with style strong and clear in the upper register always sw inging and always energetic His solo in the Rocky theme vir tually duplicated the excite ment of the original Hes fine trumpeter who deserves much greater local recognition than hcs received The crowd of about 100 people was appreciative but band of this quality deserves an au dienee five times that size When the weather is beautiful Toronto actress stars In first

Rotstein esoribes families in Milan greeting children at the airport The relatives embrace the children then leave animated ador ingalive If that final line of the poem describes the Italian families it also describes Mrs Rotstein Toronto poet whose second book Taking Off has just been published by Longman Mrs Rotstein has been writing poetry since childhood her first published work ap peared in Chatelaine when she was just but for many years poetry was secret pur suit That changed in 1975 with the publication of Through The Eyes Of Woman her first col lection The first book sold so well It went into second printing The new book promises to be just as popular SPECIAL PLACE Barrie is special place for Mrs Rotstein because shes spent and continues to spend great deal of time here As girl she spent summers in the Barrie area now as wife poet and mother of three children she continues to visit the city and find inspiration for her poetry here Many of my poems have direct Barrie theme she says From onethird to half of the poems in the new book specificially about Barrie its very much part of us Also part of Mrs Rotsteins career as poet is the influence of Irving Layton whos im pressed by the economy and precision of the new book My contact with Layton has had tremendous impact par ticularly his emphasis on craft Poetry is like the other arts it takes great amount of work to master the craft Mrs Rotstein says the hallmark of her poetry is readability write for people who like poetry and for those who have nevor read poetry before Just as important is her crea tion of an original voice as poet Its better to be an original NancyGay Hotstein than copy of Robert Frost was able to find that as Layton said to me You have your own voice and you are your own per son MORE COMPLEX The poems in the new book are more complex more sophisticated and more highly crafted than her earlier work The language sparser more compact as though the poet has stripped away as much ex cess fat as she can Her poetry has gained power It challen es the reader in way the earl er poems do not The new book has deeper quality the style is the same but the poems have more teeth more depth The first section is sampling of poems written over threeyear period while was travelling abroad The se cond section uses the country as backdrop for human emo tions And the third section Homeward Journey was writ ten here in Barrie Poetry has been freed from restrictions now and so its harder to write In earlier days you could hide behind form now you have to have your sense of rhythm and style and say something to the reader To bea NANCY and you get all the credit Which is exactly as it should be Because when youre planning sales meetingvhosting wedding or committee luncheon or
