The Huron Park SPARK
over night camping trip at
the Pinery Provincial Park
was a great success last
week. Twenty-nine campers
were transported along with
full equipment and supplies
to the Park by helpful
parents.
We, the staff would like to
thank 'those parents who
gave their time to help us
out. Also to the parents who
donated equipment. We
could not have done it
without you.
The campers enjoyed
swimming, a rain storm,
camp fire complete with
songs, skits and popcorn on
Thursday. Just before.lights
out we had a visit from a
masked animal friend from
the forest which proved to
be a surprise to all.
A game of survival taught
the children how nature
really works in woods and
how it is not always fair.
Pack up time came too soon
after a lunch of peanut
butter and jelly sandwiches
apd chicken noodle soup.
This week is called
S.P.A.R.K. summer Fair
week. All week the children
have been busy making
crafts for the craft table and
baking all kinds of goodies
for the bake sale at the Pen
ny carnival, today, Thurs
day.
A parade of decorated
bikes and children will cir
cle the neighbourhood
around J.A.D. McCurdy
Public School at about 10:30.
The Penny carnival gets
underway at 1 today featur
ing games, movies and spot
contests as well as our craft
and baking tables.
The children have worked
hard and we encourage
everyone to come out and
join in the fun.
Tomorrow we are taking a
trip to Bob-lo Island amuse
ment park/all those who are
going are asked to meet at
the McCurdy School by 6:45.
We hope it’s good weather
and a good time.
Centennials
beat GB
Mike Janyu and Matt
Muller collaborated on their
club’s single goal when
Exeter Centennials won 1-0
over Grand Bend in Ausable
district soccer
Field, Sunday.
The winner
minutes of the
Muller hit the ball into a
perfect placement of a
corner-kick from the left of
the Grand Bend net, and
Janyu headed it in for his
first goal as a Centennial.
Just prior to that, the
Centennials had several
close chances; one of them
on a low shot from winger
Brad Clausius that wedged
in the Grand Bend keeper’s
legs on the goal-line after
getting' through his hands.
The game, a hard and well-
played affair, began evenly
enough with Exeter going
into a strong attack at the
start.
But Grand Bend held
against the op ning Exeter
drive. Then, both clubs
settled into a game that
could have gone either way
until Exeter slowly began
getting the edge. It was an
edge they worked hard for,
with every member of the
team contributing a strong
performance.
There will be no league
play next Sunday. Instead,
the teams will be at Lucan
for the second-annual Lucan
six-a-side tournament, which
will be held between noon
and 5 p.m.,
The Centennials resume
the season Sunday, August
13, when they play away at
Forest at 2 p.m.
