On the evening of Wednesday June 8, the 50 strong Selkirk Music Program students, under the direction of Sven Hyde, presented their year-end concert at McKim Theatre. They were joined by some of the parents in a reprise of a number from their April production of RENT, to much applause and laughter. It was evident that these kids (including Sven) love what they do. The exceptional quality of the Band, Choir and Jazz Choir gave much delight to all the parents and friends attending.

cash. “We locked the doors on Sunday at 5:30 p.m.,” Jarrett said. “Des (McKay) went up to water the plants late Monday afternoon and saw that a window had been smashed. She opened the door and there was glass all over the place. The donation box was
empty, we’re not sure how much was in it. “Des had to leave to call me because there was no power or phone. They had pulled out the Smart Meter and cut the lines to the phone and security cameras.” See BREAK IN, Page 5
