Shari Baeker, who was born in Brussels, spent her early years here, and still has many connec­ tions in the village through her sisters Karen Hastings and Susan Murray Hoover thanked for years of service said, adding that he had no way of knowing if the vandals were participants in the Lions’ rally, or other snowmobilers “just out to cause trouble’’. The Polar Daize Poker Rally had originally been planned for Janu­ ary 31 but had to be called off after unseasonably warm temperatures melted off most of the snow. An ambitious program of other out­ door events planned and Saturday McNeil, has just been appointed office manager of one of the largest General Motors dealerships in the “Golden Triangle,’’ Leggat Pon­ tiac, Buick, Cadillac Ltd. in Burlington. Miss Baeker began her fast-ris­ ing career with Leggat nine years ago, when she took a part-time job on the company’s switchboard while she was still in high school, answering calls, doing licensing and filling out warranties. Without any formal training for the job, Miss Baeker has risen steadily through the ranks to the position of office manager, over a staff of 90 employees, at the huge new location recently opened by the 50-year-old firm. But getting the job didn’t come easily: Miss Baeker put in a lot of extra hours to earn the promotion. “I’ll work until I’m done,” she said. “Idon’tjust do my job.

At press time, the exact cost of sending the long telegram was not known, but all monies left over will be put into the trust account for the two young skaters for their training time at the Preston Club, since no amateur athlete in Canada may receive direct funding while retaining their amateur status. No other funding is available to amateur athletes competing in Canada, so the athletes them­ selves, or their families, must pick up the entire tab for the years of training required to get them to national status, on a regime so demanding that few of the athletes themselves have time for other employment. According to Mr. Wheeler’s parents, and to the parents of the other local national- class skaters, ice dancers Peter MacDonald of RR 2, Brussels and his partner Kerrie Shepherd of RR 1, Blyth, the total bill is “horren­ dous.” Although Mr. Wheeler and Miss Menzies have won a number of championshipsatboth national and international figure skating competitions over the past two years, including the Gold Medal in the Junior Pairs division at the National Championships in Ottawa last February and two Gold medals sold for Sunday’s Poker Rally, with Don McCall of Brussels taking the top prize of $100 with a straight flush; Brian Hoy of Wingham was second, winning $50 with a full house; Neil Jutzi of Brussels was third with a straight; and Brenda Ryan of Brussels was fourth with three aces giving her three of a in Europe last summer, they failed to make Canada’s 1988 Olympic team by placing fifth overall in senior competition at the National Championships in Victoria, B.C. a few weeks ago.
