Hours: Monday to Friday The Waterloo Rotary Club lost a good member last week with the sudden death of Dave Little. Friendly Dave was a neighbor of mine on Stillmeadow Circle for a number of years. He was one of our "original six" Grey Cup party gang. Even though Dave was the last to live on Stillmeadow, we still all got together for the football festival. In his latter years Big Dave became a single parent and raised four fine children: Michael, Mark, Maithew, and Michelle. He was the type of guy who knew his duty and fulfilled his commitments.

It‘s a sign that winter can‘t be too far away as we found Waterloo Tennis Club coâ€"ordinator Marten Johnston, directing the erection of the two "bubbles" for their indoor winter program. Marten was telling me that it is the same company that will design the new "bubble" for Waterloo arena this October. The Waterloo Tennis Club has produced many great players including Jane Young.

It appears it would cost over a million dollars just to put those three yachts back in the water for crews to practise with at this time. Bill indicated that "Canada Two" was shipped back to the West Coast, trailered across America with only inches to spare under some overhead bridges, and deposited at Niaâ€" gara. We were talking to Bill Goman, famous Canadian yacht designer of *"‘True North," as we watched the big sailing ships on Lake Huron heading home to their respective ports for the winter. I was telling Bill that when I was in Christchurch last winter and "Kiwi Magic‘ got knocked out of the "American Cup‘" finals, the New Zealanders were already planning a new designed boat for 1991. Goman commented that unless Canada can obtain enough money, we may have no entry next time around. Presently Bill said Roundup: Mail items to Box 898, Waterioo, Ont uith Ted Rooney I 0 W ‘"This got varying reactions," he said. **People would say that it was their favorite sonata, or that it was the only Beethoven sonata that they just never cared for. If I remember some said, ‘I‘ve never heard it played as well, or ‘I‘ve never It became obvious to his parents that young Victor also was developing a satirical sense that did not please them. He would announce profoundly that he was about to perform a Beethoven sonata and launch into a Beethoven concoction of his own. â€" â€" He was hailed as a child prodigy, making his orchestral debut as soloist playing Rachmaninoffs‘ Second Piano Concerto with the Copenhagen Philharmonic at the age of 10. He also played at many dinner parties. Borge was born the son of a violinist in the Danish Symphony Orchestra. **‘People always ask why I took up the piano instead of the violin," he said. "It is simple. Because my father had the darn fiddle all the time." The real truth is that as a child Borge wanted to be a whole orchestra and the piano was the nearest thing. "I use every finger as a different instrument. When I play, I am an orchestra of 10." As Borge puts it, he has been dragging his piano around the world since eight . . . maybe eightâ€"thirty. What he really means is that he first â€" performed as a pianist at the age of eight. There are still tickets ai\"ailable for the show through the Centre‘s box office or BASS ticket outlets. The irrepressible Victor Borge, immensely popular with audiences in the Twin Cities, returns to Centre in the Square for one performance Monday, Sept. 21 at 8 p.m. Borge at the Centre 11 a m to §:30 p.m. . Saturday. 1 p.m. to 5 p.m While Borge‘s comic reputation has been built on his not playing the piano, he really does possess a magnificent gift that amazes audiences At a recent gala concert, Borge along with 12 of the world‘s celebrated pianists recorded a live album produced for the International Piano Archives. . Somewhere between then and now Borge became an international star, probably introducing more people to the glories of classical music than Vladimir Horowitz. In recent years, he has added opera and symphony "guest" _ conducting engagements to his heavy stage and television commitments. During this time, when he worked as an organist, Borge gave occasional piano recitals. ‘‘Once, when I was to play a Bach recital, I got so nervous that I went to the concert hall in the morning and pasted the music for certain difficult spots inside the piano. At the concert, the lighting was different and I could read the passages only by leaning way over and craning my neck. Next day, the critics said that I wasn‘t bad, but that it was not necessary for me to make such a bodily show out of a performance!" Borge went to the Ostre Borgerdyd Skole in Copenhagen and the Royal Danish Music Conservatory. He spent two years studying music in Berlin and Vienna before heading back to Copenhagen and his first steady job. He became assistant organist in the Chapel of a cemetery. He swears it‘s true â€" even claims he got an extra fee if the family of the deceased was extremely moved. heard it played worse.‘ For some reason my parents stopped takirlg me to dinner parties."
