Ron McLeod, who works at Grandma Lee‘s in the Waterloo Square is a very talented cartoonist. He also has the talent to sketch the front of your home. One of the captions on his cartoon pictures reads: ‘"Forget your mistakes but remember what they taught you." The interesting thing is that Ron is a deaf mute but has found an exciting way to express himself. Waterloo Park was host to the third annual Kâ€"W Corporate Challenge that was under the promotion of Waterloo‘s Linda Padfield. She did a masterful job of attracting 55 companies to participate. Some 550 company employees were seen in colorful Tâ€"shirts, hats, with balloons for the opening event. Along with Linda to organize the event were Alex Brown, Tom Drake, Tori Kaufman, Pam McCulligh, John Race, Rob Wagner, Dave Nigh, Glen Toner, Phil Heard, Paul Smith, Ken Bauman, and Gabriella Moule. With the arrival of the autumn leaves, one will find the local church bazaars right behind. First out of the shoot this fall is Cecila Karges for the St. Michael‘s Church bazaar Nov. 8 and 9. One can get more details from Cecila by phoning 884â€"8050. The parish hopes to do its part in helping University students find homes with rooms for rent. The Parishioners have been invited to post their names on a church bulletin board in the foyer. Joan Taylor of the Waterloo Children‘s Library says that she quickly knows when school is back. In the summer, many children are seen during the day picking out books and attending the library functions. Joan says that after school starts, children come during the day on special "field trips‘"‘ with their teachers. In the winter, Saturdays and Sundays are the popular times for the young fry to come and browse. For those of you who were at Expo ‘86 this summer in Vancouver, do you recall how you were just about to collapse from walking around the pavilions? Well, Herb Hauser says chances are if you sat down it was on one of the Waterloo family chairs. Herb indicated that his firm was the largest supplier of seats for Expo as they had a contract for over 3,000. When Herb is not making furniture, he‘s doing his 50 laps in the pool at Willowells Club. In some circles, he‘s known as the Hawaiian shark. Anyone with submissions for Ted Rooney‘s Around Town is invited to submit them to Box 898, Waterloo, Ont. U“‘Vers.“ 10 W N with Ted Rooney The Toronto Jazzmakers kicked of Saturday‘s Jazz Fest ‘86 program. Melodee Martinuk photo ‘Kerouac," a new film on the life and style of the beat novelist Jack Kerouac kicked things off. Loosely following a docudrama format, the movie provided some insights through comments by Alan Ginsberg, Michael Mcclure and others. It also entertained with dramatic adaptations of some of Kerouac‘s prose. The whole thing was held together by a jazz soundtrack featuring Ellington, Monk, and others. A jazz festival in Kitchenerâ€"Waterloo? Not the likeliest of possibilities. Yet, here it was; a thr â€"day e * right in the Twin Cities last week end wit. .3 different Jazz and Blues performers. The fact that it did happen is definitely important for all music fans. The Bill Grove Trio provided invigorating live music for the evening. Bill, (leader of Toronto‘s Whitenoise) left his sax at home and gave all of his attention and talent to the electric piano. His playing led the way for drummer Richard Bannard and Marimba man Ambrose Pottie. At times things were furious and intense and at other times playful and whimsical; this was daring, captivating music. Their 45 minute set left the crowd wanting for more. Dave Hight Chronicle Special The first evening set a tone of originality for the Kâ€"W Jazzâ€"fest. Thursday at the Princess Cinema saw jazz on celuloid and live "Chamber Jazz" for a nearâ€"capacity audience. Jazzâ€"Fest ‘86 daring, remarkable achievement Monday to Enday. 11 a m to 6 p m . Saturday. | pm to § p m The middle of the festival, Friday evening, was devoted to the blues. A triple bill featuring Matt "Guitar‘‘ Murphy with guests The Nationals and The Guitar Mikey Trio was wellâ€"received by the local blues following. Unable to attend, I can‘t actually review the shows. I‘m told however that it was a fine evening all around. The final day of Kâ€"W Jazzâ€"fest ‘86 was a festival in itself. Nine groups in 12 hours, it was a celebration of almost all forms of that music they call jazz. Perhaps of equal significance is that all the talent on stage was Canadian. Appropriately this musicâ€"filled day began with some of the roots of jazz; dixieland. The Toronto Jazzmakers are a seasoned group of players who love the happy, comfortable sounds of dixieland. With their sweet melodies and harmonies the day started on the right note. The veteran Pat Labarbera Quartet gave us a biting set of hard bop music. Their performance represented the style made famous in the ‘50s and ‘60s by people like Miles Davis and John Coltrane. This was a solid set exhibiting some fine solo work from Pat as well as Neil Swainson on bass, Greg Pilo on drums and George Mcfetridge on piano. The midâ€"afternoon saw a nice change of pace with the Holly Cole Trio. Along with Aaron Davis on piano and Dave Piltch on bass, this may have been the surprise of the Jazzâ€"fest. Cole has a unique style and a tremendous range. Incredibly T 885â€"4280 (Continued on page 19)
