Benefit dance and sixties dance keep Ripley complex active
By Ab Wylds
There is never a dull mo-
ment nor an idle weekend
evening over at the Ripley
Huron Community Centre
Complex with custodian
Helen Grubb in charge of a
very busy schedule. Each
weekend there is a good at-
tendance.
Last Friday evening it was
the benefit dance for Bob
Love who suffered loss due
to the recent fire. On Satur-
day evening the dance was
sponsored by the Kinsmen
Club from ,Point Clark. This
coming weekend (Saturday
afternoon and evening Aug.
13) it is the Ripley and
District Lions Club annual
beef barbecue at the Com-
plex and Funfest day and
evening in the park followed
by a dance, 9 to 1 in the Com-
plex.
Wedding anniversary
Ian and Jean MacDonald
of William Street in Ripley
recently had their wedding
anniversary and friends
belatedly wish them hap-
piness on this occasion.
Star carrier girls switch
For the home delivery of
the Toronto Star daily
newspaper Ripley is divided
into two routes - North and
South. Two girls, Debbie
Taylor and Janet Macpher-
son are the two carrier girls.
While Janet was on vacation,
Kerry and Nancy Nugent
delivered the south route for
her. Now in August, Debbie
is at summer camp and then
on vacation so Ainslie Mar-
tyn will be doing the north
route for her.
Soccer score
Tom Stevenson of the
Southline handed in this ac-
count for a Ripley Minor Soc-
cer league game. The score
of the game was Ripley
Squirts - 2, Kincardine
Kinsmen - 0.
A good solid two-way ef-
fort was demonstrated by
Ripley. During the game it
was evident that the speed of
the Ripley forwards was go-
ing to make the difference,
and that speed resulted in
goals by ;Dean Stanley and
Darryl Bolton.
Troy Snobelen had the
shutout in the Ripley goal.
Solid on defence were Mandy
Rhody and .Jennifer
Johnston.
The writer is glad to see
the "comeback" of soccer in
Bruce County. Back in the
fall of 1932, there were five
from Bruce, all wearing the
purple and white colour on
the Western University soc-
cer team in London. They
were Allan Mason of Wiar-
ton, Glen and Lloyd Sawyer
of Kincardine and John D.
Munn and Ab Wylds of
Ripley.
Returned from Frankfurt
Last week on Tuesday
afternoon, August 2, 1983, at
3:00, Frank Zipfel flew into
Toronto Airport from
Frankfurt, West Germany.
His daughter, Priscilla, was
waiting there with ;the fami-
ly car to pick up her father
and return him to Ripley.
Next day, Wednesday, a
week ago today, Frank was
back at his job as custodian
at Huron Villa, the Senior
Citizens home in Ripley. It
was on Monday evening, Ju-
ly 11, that Frank flew from
Toronto to Frankfurt to see
his mother who was in the
hospital at Worms, having
suffered a severe stroke. She
passed away in the hospital
there on Thurs., July 21. The
funeral service was held in
her hometown Florsheim on
Mon., July 25, with burial in
the cemetery there. Frank
wishes to say thanks to the
Ripley folks for their cards
and expressions of sympathy
at this time of bereavement.
Two visitors and 84
descendants of the late Dan
and Ada ("Farmer") Mac-
Donald gathered on Sun., Ju-
ly 31, at the home of their
daughter, Donalda Pollard
on the eighth concession two
blocks east of Ripley, for
their eleventh annual family
picnic and reunion. They
came from Mississauga,
Wingham, Milverton, and
the Ripley area.
After a delicious dinner,
races were held for different
age groups from the
youngest to the oldest pre-
sent. A tug of war was held
with ; the team of anchor-
man Allan Gamble of the six-
th, winning over the team of
Doug MacDonald of the 12th
concession Huron township.
Several people got wet in the
balloon toss. John Mac-
Donald of Ripley thanked
;the Pollard family for
hosting the picnic this year.
The family of Douglas and
Reta MacDonald of Toronto
(Mississauga) will be in
charge in 1984.
Dryer wasn't used much
Talking to Jim Scott,
operator of the Ripley Grain
Elevator on Monday morn-
ing it was found that the
dryer was used very little
this year. Only at the start
two weeks ago and briefly
last week. Thanks to the cur-
rent hot, dry weather the
moisture test on the fall
wheat was 12 down from the
average of 14/ in the past.
The fall wheat harvest is
over for this year. While at
the elevator we saw the first
truck load of Canola seed ar-
rive shortly after eight on
Monday morning.
It was from the 100 -acre
field of this crop on the farm
of Stewart Alton at Blyth. It
was from Canola seed im-
ported by Jim Scott from
Sweden. This is spring
rapeseed - a one -season
crop. The .07 variety of
rapeseed described earlier,
imported from West Ger-
many, and sown by Hans
Peter Prehn at Reids Cor-
ners and others is sown in
this month (August) and
harvested next August.
Back at the elevator here
Jim Scott, his foreman
Wayne Kerr of the Southline,
trucker Bill Wyld, and office
secretary ;June Paquette
are going to be quite busy
with the barley and flax
crops, as well as the Canola
harvests all at hand. At the
elevator a crew of workmen
from Glen Eaton Paints at
R. R.1 Elmwood is busy pain-
ting. This is a different crew
to the one which did the
Thompson Feed and Supply
Mill two weeks ago. The firm
has four different work
crews.
Just a couple of stone
throws across Gore Park
from the above elevator is
the Courtney Seed Cleaning
Plant with operator, Harold
Courtney of Pine River and
his foreman, Ralph Grubb of
Ripley busy right now clean -
