School’s Lion King Competition. LHHS grade 12 male students will compete to take home the honour of being named the “Lion King”. This
annual competition which is a Safe Grad fundraiser sees the candidates performing a choreographed dance as a group as well as individual
talents in front of their admiring fans and the judges. Some of the talents are surprisingly good while all are very entertaining! There is a
fashion show section of the Competition as well where the candidates get to “strut their stuff” while looking great in fancy clothing. Just
before the judges go off to deliberate, the candidates are posed with impromptu questions which always guarantees a few laughs. The
conclusion of the night is when the Lion King and his Court, the Prince of Popularity, the Duke of Cool, the Court Minstrel, the Court Jester
and Mr. Congeniality, are announced. Come out for a fun evening of entertainment and support LHHS Safe Grad because these guys just
cannot wait to be King!

4. UNB Art Centre presents Eastern Seaboard Cabinetmakers May 12 – June 19
The UNB Art Centre presents Eastern Seaboard Cabinetmakers: Furniture Making in the Maritimes 1765-1880 from May 12 – June 19,
2014. Selected from the collection of the Kings Landing Historical Settlement, this exhibition will look at furniture made on the east coast
of Canada, from the Pre-Loyalist Planters to the Late Victorians, from the perspective of 2013.
Furniture not only presents us with objects made through the artistry of craftsmen such as cabinetmakers and carpenters, but it provides
a window onto history. It gives us a glimpse into the tastes of an era, social status, personal values and cultural influences. People use
furniture to define themselves to their friends and neighbours. These pieces of material history also provide an insight into trade routes,
immigration patterns, economic conditions, as well as technological and business practices.
The UNB Art Centre is located at Memorial Hall, 9 Bailey Drive, University of New Brunswick in Fredericton. The galleries are open 9am to
4pm weekdays, and for special events. Admission is free to members of the public. Everyone welcome!

most entertaining authors. The event includes an open set (last call before the summer break), and our famous book draw. All this for the
price of admission: buying a drink and/or lunch from Molly and Daryl. Thank you for your attention and take care.
Novelist M.T. Dohaney was born in Newfoundland, and has written five novels, including the bestselling The Corrigan Women. She has
published non-fiction, short stories, articles, and a prize-winning film script. After a career of teaching at the University of New Brunswick,

close to capturing the emotions of Confederation quite like M. T. (Jean) Dohaney has." —The Aurora.
Poet, writer of screenplays, short stories, novels, and academic texts, Roger Moore is well known and well loved by attendees of poetry
readings in Fredericton. His list of publications and prizes won is impressive, some of which you can find
here: http://w3.stu.ca/stu/sites/nble/m/moore_roger.html. Look also for his personal website, on which he features photographic art by
himself and others. Moore was born in Wales, and landed in Fredericton, where he has had a distinguished career at STU; he is retired
now as Professor Emeritus, and continuing mentor to many.
11. Season Finale of the Symphony New Brunswick Bravo Series May 20
Common Ground / en commun: a meeting of music that appeals to all; a common sensitivity, joy, beauty, and celebration. Starting with
Aaron Copland's Fanfare for the Common Man, get ready for a concert that reaches deeply into what is to be human and finds something
truly wonderful there.
The Louisbourg choir, the official SNB choir, returns to perform the wonderful choral section of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony. More New
Brunswick talent returns to our province for the solo parts in this, perhaps most famous of all symphonies. Sally Dibblee, Paula Rockwell,
Michael Colvin and Giles Tomkins sing the solo roles as SNB ends its Bravo season with joy and passion. Contrasting the breadth of
Beethoven's 9th, this program also includes Samuel Barber's Adagio for strings, one of the most beloved pieces for string orchestra and
one of the pieces most often requested by the audience.
Tickets are $40 for adults, $10 for students. Available at The Playhouse. It will take place on May 20 at the Fredericton Playhouse.

Sappier is a graduate of the New Brunswick College of Craft and Design and has shown work in several prestigious galleries, as well as
completing a number of public art commissions. In recent years, she has created cultural murals for the Tobique Community Health Centre
and the University of New Brunswick, as well as taking part in the Ephakuk exhibition at the Beaverbrook Art Gallery. She is also involved
with the Young Ancestors Workshops at the Beaverbrook Art Gallery, traveling to First Nations communities that work to inspire youth
and elders to create artworks together. Sappier currently works as Aboriginal Outreach Officer for artsnb, with the mission to reach out to
the First Nations artists in New Brunswick and share opportunities in the arts.

celebrate National Aboriginal Day with us. A closing ceremony and reception for We are all White Bones will take place from 2-4pm on
