In the fall a cooking project RLUL PRESENTATION The Rideau Lakes Union Public Library presents Tanglefoot, in Mosquitoes, Mudholes and Rebels, at the Chaffey's Lock Community Centre, on Saturday, June 13 at 8:00 p.m. Admission is $5 at the door; for series ticket holders this is one of five shows for $15. A settler in early Ontario led a life of struggles â€" against bugs, mud, invading armies, neighbours and the government. In this lightâ€"hearted and enlightening show, Tanglefoot brings to life a cantankerous old soldier, a loyalist farmer and a pompous "gentleman" settler. Loyalist beginnings, the war of 1812, rebellion in 1837 and plans to build a jail in muddy York are explored with song, dialogue, breathtaking visuals, rollicking good humour . . . and a supporting cast of a million mosquitoes! In 19th century Ontario, "tanglefoot whiskey" was a potent drink. Today, Tanglefoot refers to three musician/actors â€" Tim Rowat, Joe Grant, and Bob Wager â€" who have created a unique performing group dedicated to making Canada's past come alive for audiences of all ages through a powerful blend of folk music, storytelling, and theatre, with slides on largeâ€"screen backdrops. Everyone is invited to this lively musical show, which is sponsored by your public library, the Ontario Library Service â€" Rideau, the Ontario Arts Council, and Outreach Ontario, a programme of the Ministry of Citizenship and Culture . intramural homeform helped with officiating and Wade Anderson and Clint Lawrence from S.A.D.D. Committee ran the soft drink stand. The Rideau Band and Choir put on their annual turkey and ham dinner recently. Over 150 people enjoyed the smorgasbord, which was organized to raise funds for the Band and Choir trip to Toronto later this semester and for 'revitalizing' our uniforms for next year. Music students were enchanted by a concert last week, given by the Walter Hoffman Trio. Walter Hoffman, for many years the music teacher at South Grenville High School, delighted the students with a varied program using combinations of moog synthesizer, saxaphone, trumpet, flute, clarinet, trombone and euphonium. "The grade 9 science projects will blossom later in the summer," joked Biology teacher, Bob Chittick, referring to the class work in the greenhouse. Each spring the students produce a journal to record their observations on a wide variety of plants. They sell five varieties of tomatoes, fourteen varieties of flowers, including Alyssum, Salvia, Coleus, Pansies, Zinnias, and that helps pay the greenhouse expenses. The grade 9 history classes had a full day when they visited Ottawa. The morning was spent at Laurier House, lunch at the Rideau Centre and the War Museum in the afternoon. The 45 ’ students were accompanied by History teachers Dwight Purdy and Rob Stephenson and parent Mary Whitney. uonm LEEDS LANTERN 15 RIDEAU NOTES Tuesday was the day of decision for the arm wrestlers of RDHS.

Teacher Doug Bond tells us the students will be doing map and compass work and "stream analysis on the raging torrents of Morton and Corbett's Creek, glacial studies in the wilds of Forfar and Philipsville and geology sampling generally." The Spring Fiesta held at Rideau was a great success. There was an early morning rush for the pancake breakfast. Rideau students vouch that pancakes taste that much better when cooked and served by their teachers! After classes students played softball, blind volleyball and earthball.
