Ferguson who owned workshop and store on Hi way 11 at Guthrie forscvera years For the last few years Lark man Worked for Ferguson doing the intricate painting on the shields crests and insignia that are the heart of coat of arms When Ferguson decided to retire early last December Larkman took up his offer to buy the business but turned down his offer to move into the buildingin Guthrie The first thing Larkman did after buying the business was to move it to his home in llawkestone lie could have bought fergusons shop but with four children and the amount of time he expected to spend just making the coats of arms the facility in Guthrie would have been too small We thought wed be busy enough making them up he said that we didnt think we would have time for an actual store Larkman who

he said liarkman said it takes about three weeks to make coat of arms and 10 days to make clan shield The most timeconsuming part of the process he said is the painting He uses enamel paint which takes day or two to dry and each shield needs at least two coats of paint depeir ding on the colors The more elaborate shields are painted in combination of colors that can take more than week to paint hesaid Somce clan insignia be ad tied are very intricate and require painstaking care when they are painted Larkinan said there are 118 Scottish clans each with its own insignia and up to It lif

career as professional musir cian But David Stone has gone the distance Stone is the keyboard player for Symphonic Slam the pro gressive rock band appearing Friday night at Georgian Col lege Theatre The concert is sort of homecoming for the 24year old He was born in Barrie and lived here until ages He doesnt remember much about his childhood years in Barrie except that this is where he made his debut as tap dancer had two left feet he laughs explaining the temporary nature of his lap dancing involvement Piano however was dif erent story My parents bought me little toy one for Christmasl just started bang ing out melodies grabbed on to it immediately he re members That interest led to piano lessons at an early age joyed learning things It came to me quickly and was digging it ldi nt know it was uncool to play piano Stones musical emphasis then was classical At age he was giving recitals And he played practically nothing but Bartok Beethoven and com pany untilageM At that point musical theory became focal to his studies With knowledge of harmony and counterpoint came grow ing awareness of other musical happenings OPENING WITH BANI My teacher told me there was rock band down the street that had an opening So rented $50 organ and there was Id never played organ before and Iwas sick That first gig however con firmed Stones involvement with rock music Hes stuck with it through successful and unsuccessful times ever since His objective since that first and keeps stock of at least 300 different tartans on hand Many of clans he said have different tartans for hunting formal gatherings and ancient and new tartans The difference between the ancient and new tartans he said is the shade of the colors inthem The ancient tartaiis were made from vegetable dyes he said but the modern tartans are made with stronger dyes which produce much stronger deeper colors lie imports all of his tartan cloth from Scotland adding that authentic tartans are an absolute necessity for his business ne of the biggest hawrds of his business Larknian said is the constant changing and up dating of clan insignia casionally he said customer will bring him clan insignia he has not seen before or one that is different from the in signia he has on hand When that happens he said you have to look it up in clan book to make sure that the one you have is right or hasnt been changed Though Larkman is looking forward to travelling to highland games around the province to sell his product this summer he said he would like to see highland games held in Barrie think it would be big at
