The Centerville Ties, pane 1, “Music on the Water”
The magical melody of a violin wafts into downtown Centerville, The sound of a cello joins in. Curious tourists look around, trying to figure out the source of the music. They gradually realize that members of an orchestra are in plain sight, seated on a boat docked in the Centerville harbor.
“Music on the Water” began 30 years ago when Brigitta Carlson had an old cargo boat renovated and then performed the first musical performance from the boat’s deck. ‘Today, “Music on the Water,” a chamber orchestra, offers weekend performances on the original boat in the same harbor location.
The musicians are currently led by Maestro Arthur Silverman, an acclaimed violinist, who plays in the performances each week. “We have expanded our schedule to offer a record number of concerts—over 50 each year,” explains Maestro Silverman. “Certain programs arc now tailored to specific audiences, like young listeners.”
“Music on the Water” performs on many Friday and Saturday evenings at 6:00 PM. Tickets can be purchased online at wwwanusiconthewatet.org, Family concerts are scheduled on Sundays at 2:00 2M. No tickets are needed for family concerts, but patrons are encouraged to arrive early to ensure seats are available.

I have enjoyed “Music on the Water” ever since I was a child. In fact, I will never forget listening to the founder’s very first performance, with the melody of her flute floating up to my family’s third-floor apartment facing the harbor. When I was a little older, I used to save my coins so that I could purchase my own ticket to a concert on the boat. “Music on the Water” has had a wonderful impact on the harbor area. I wonder if The Centerville Times would consider publishing a piece on the history of this neighborhood, which I am still proud to call home.
Thank you, Roberto Padilla

Advertising with Mix 92 Radio Marilyn Nguyen, 13 August Has anyone advertised with Mix 92 Radio? |
||
James Defort, 15 August I have had advertisements running on Mix 92 Radio since last March. It has proved to be a smart choice: in recent months I have seen a significant increase in the number of customers visiting my business, Defort Automotive. Many tell me it was the radio advertisement that brought them in.
When I signed a contract with the station, there was a problem with some unexpected charges. However, Ms. Jager from the advertising department brought my concerns to her supervisor, and the matler was quickly resolved. Ms. Jager even checked back with me a week later to ensure I was pleased with the outcome.

Dear All,
As my internship at Mix 92 Radio draws to a close, please know that working here has been a wonderful experience for me. I am grateful for the training and advice I have received over the past twelve months. I especially want to thank my boss and mentor, Alison Alvey, from whom I have not only learned the fundamentals of radio advertising, but also how to meet customers’ needs. Her nomination for this year’s Australis Trophy speaks volumes about her dedication to her clients and staff.
I also appreciate the video recording you presented to me, showing me at work and at play here. I will miss joining many of you for lunches at the Hot Spot Café.
Best wishes,
Kathrin Jager

Olinawe is a Fusion of Flavours
DONCASTER (21 March)—Atter many years of hard work, chef Amina Ikegami is opening her own restaurant in downtown Doncaster. Ms. Ikegami trained at Chesterfield Culinary Academy and worked as a junior sous chef at the Sisra Bistro for three years. She spent the last twelve years on staff at Delmourel’s, where she held the title of executive chef for the past four years. Ms. Ikegami has won several awards, including the UK Innovative Chef Award. Although she is sad to leave Delmourel’s, she is thrilled to fulfill her longtime dream of owning her own restaurant. |
Ms. Ikcgami’s new restaurant, Olinawe, features a menu influenced by the many varied flavours of her childhood. She was raised in England in a family with French, Senegalese, and Japanese heritage. Being exposed to so many different food traditions is what inspired her to become a chef. “My mother and father are great cooks themselves,” says Ms. Ikegami. “I loved having all these cuisines in one house, and always strive to bring that fusion of cultures into my cooking.” Olinawe opens officially on 25 April and will serve lunch and dinner Tuesdays through Sundays.

All the best,
