Final casting call: Ciara’s Coming Home T here's still time for hesitant but budding actors to strut their stuff in North Frontenac Little Theatre's spring production.
Although several roles have been allocated, acting opportunities are still available for male and female actors aged between 20 to 35 in the Irish-set, one act play, Ciara's Coming Home, to be staged in late April and early May.
"Some of the remaining roles are relatively undemanding with few lines to learn and would present a really nice opportunity for young men and women who've prevaricated about acting, to get their feet wet in drama," said director, Adrian O'Connnell.
Production crews are already working on lights and sets for the comedy to be staged at Sharbot Lake's Oso Hall and rehearsals are set to get underway starting Tuesday, March 3rd.
The play will be preceded by a dramatic prelude exploring the Irish emigrant experience in narrative, song and story.

Bedford history remembered at Glendower Hall by Craig Bakay
There was a lot of reminiscing going on Saturday at Glendower Hall as the Bedford Historical Research Centre’s annual open house.
“All people are interested in things, it’s just what are they interested in,” said Paul Younge, who was back for another year with his vast collection of farmrelated publications. “All that old stuff is really interesting,” said Coun. Pat Barr. “Like Gramma Barr’s bread and butter pickles recipe.
“If you just read it, you’d think you sliced the onions before you peeled them.” She said they have a lot of people wanting to donate things, which they appreciate, but “you really need to put it in something.

“We did have a lady organizing the death notices but she died.”
And, she thinks the area was a lot more colourful in the ’50s.
“We had a lot of bootleggers in the area then,” she said.
Perhaps one of the more interesting people for visitors to reminisce with on this day was Gord Sly, president of the Frontenac County Schools Museum and author of Good Old School Days.
“There were more than 100 one-room schools in the County at one time,” he said. “And the museum probably has something from just about all of them.”
He said that legally, kids couldn’t walk more than three miles to school — which accounts for why there were so many of them.
“Most of them were in Frontenac County Schools Museum president Gord Sly was on hand to invite everyone to the Museum on Regent Street (Barriefield) in Kingston. Photo/Craig Bakay
farm country and there were no buses back then,” he said.
He said that in the ’70s, most of the old schools started closing down and a “bunch of teachers got to
gether” to create the museum and preserve the memories and memorabilia.
Sly had photos from Salem School (Bedford #1) and the Oak Flats school from 1904. One of the more interesting items on display was an old honey pail.
“That’s what the kids used for lunchboxes,” he said. “They also used old lard pails.

DRI VE SLO W IN THE SNO W • BE NICE ON THE ICE: Give yourself twice the space between vehicles and pedestrians. Stopping distance on ice is double that of a dry road • GO SLOW IN THE SNOW: Slow down and drive according to weather conditions, not the speed limit • IT’S NOT A RACE, GIVE PLOW SPACE: Snow plows are extra wide and can create clouds of snow – both of which reduce visibility and increase the risk of collision. It’s best to wait for the plow to pull over before you pass. • Learn more at www.snowhow.ca LI VING HERE
