NOW, FOR A GOOD, COLD BEER — No, it wasn't June 30, it was December 30! The absence of ice in the Ausable River Cut south of the Pinery encouraged Bosanquet reeve Charlie Srokosz to enjoy his favourite sport. Charlie reported that the water wasn't as cold as it was last March when they had to chip ice to launch their boat, Along with Charlie, brother-in-law Bill Sparenberg of Talbotville took a turn on the ski, while son-in-law, Bill Maxfield of RR 2, Grand Bend, manned the boat. Both men used just one slalom ski, but they decided that conditions weren't quite right for barefoating. The water skiing followed a morning of ice hockey practise, and the reeve said he felt he was in good shape.
