Soccer wins continued from page nine Regulation time ended with the teams tied 2-2 which meant over- time. Upon playing two ten-minute halves of overtime, the score was still tied and the game had to be settled by penalty shots. Coach Melady picked his five guys to shoot and left the game resting on their feet. Of the five shooters, Dean Martin, Wayne Ryan and Mark Martinez all bulged the twine with their shots while Nehru Budna and John Jordan were not as lucky. Unfortunately, Exeter also scored 3 of their 5 shots and it was down to a sudden death shoot out of one guy for each team. Brian Melady took the sixth shot and was fortu- nate enough to get the ball behind the keeper. This put pressure on the Exeter player to score and even more pressure on keeper, Jason Dietz. Luckily for St. Columban, they had the superb player of the two as Dietz dove to the corner on the shot to deflect the ball wide of the net. With this save, Jason Dietz put to an end an exciting game which saw the local squad win. St. Columban finished their week of soccer on Saturday, July 16 in London against the first place team, the Portugese Falcons. St. Columban knew they were in for a tough game as this was the only team this season to hand St. Columban a defeat. Steve Ryan opened the scoring early when Mark Martinez fed him the gall to put it into the open net. The Falcons responded with one of their own a few minutes later on a questionable offside. Before the half was over, St. Columban would regain the lead when Dean Martin was brought down inside the 18 - yard box. Martin took the resulting penalty shot and made no mistake in getting the ball into the net. Just as the half ended a IIortugese player was caught using excessive vulgar language on the field and was ejected for the rest of the game. St. Columban went into the sec- ond half knowing they were up one man and would try to maintain their lead. Oddly enough, St. Columban were the benefactors of bad ref- ereeing rather than the victims and by the end of the game two more Falcons were ejected along with one St. Columban player. After holding off the Portugese attack, the good guys would get the insurance goal they needed when Dean Martin put a nice shot by the London keeper for his second goal of the game. The game ended with St. Columban beating the first place team 3-1 and with the victory the team moves into second place in their division. St. Columban is now two points behind both London Curinga and London Portugese however, they have played one less game than both teams. It was a very productive week for St. Columban as they got two wins and one tie. A big pat on the back should be given m goalkeeper, Jason Dietz, who was sturdy as a rock in all three games. Without him three losses could have been real ized. St. Columban plays at home in Mitchell on Friday night at 7 p.m. and again on Sunday at 6 p.m. All fans arc encouraged and more than welcome to attend.

Dancing club learns new moves by SUSAN STEWART The members of the McKillop #1 4-H Square Dancing Club may not be expert dancers but club members are well on their way, due to the 4-H Club Joan Stewart is leading. The executive is: President - Debbie Malone; Vice -President - Jane Bennett; Secretary - Susan Stewart; Treasurer - Kendra Jewitt; Youth Leader - Nancy Stewart. At the first two meetings club members teamed how to two- step, do-si-do, allemande left and right, grand chain and dif- ferent types of swings. Once they were comfortable with these moves the novice dancers learned the Dip and Dive, Duck and Oyster, Take Your Ladies Back to Back and the Grand Square. A special thank you goes out to Liz Becker who gave pointers on how to call a set and demonstrated the art of calling. The next meeting of the Hoedowners is July 13, 1994 at the Stewarts' home. Alice delightful visual spectacle, lacks substance BY TIM CUMMING Expositor Editor The Stratford Festival's produc- tion of Alice Through the Looking Glass is like candy floss at a fair...glossy and seductive on the outside, but not very fulfilling in the eating. In James Reaney's adaptation of the Lewis Carroll classic, Alice unfortunately appears like a detached spectator to the chaotic and surreal events around her. Des- pite the almost endless sequence of backwards -logic thinkers and otherworldly characters, there is no sense that Alice evolves. No matter how bizarre her surroundings, her emotional reactions seem restricted to the same, narrow range. By the end of her voyage through the land of the Looking Glass she has experienced a flurry of curious scenes. It would appear from Alice's reactions, however, that very little has happened at all. Sarah Polley, star of television's Road to Avonlea, may be the box office draw in this production but she is not as endearing here as in her small -screen image. She speaks in an affected manner and her stilted .voice is rather unpleasant, especially in conjunction with the disjointed, carnival atmosphere of everything around her. There is no question that Sarah Polley looks the part of Alice. Although acting with some confi- dence the young actress did not create an Alice with whom the children in the audience could identify. She looked more like a grown-up person dressed as a child. The dream world of the Looking Glass would be far more entertain- ing if the audience could actually believe Alice was a real, little girl from a real world. Instead, she PEVHEW seems as artificial as the land she inhabits. There doesn't appear to be any- thing in this production which threads together all the disparate scenes. To what end are these flashy scenes of strange behaviour? Why are we to maintain our interest in them? The play offers no motivation for Alice or for the audience. Certainly the play makes no attempt to involve the audience, including many young people seeing live theatre of this calibre for the first time. What saves the production is the visually -stunning display of props, costume and set. Set designer Stephen Britton Osler deserves high praise for the lavish, eye-catching world he creates. In the end, however, the Stratford Festival has sacrificed substance for style. It has mounted a grandiose production, with flawless technical merit, which trys to hide flaws in the script and the performance of the lead role. It also wastes the talent of acting heavyweights in the play including Douglas Rain and Mervyn Blake. The play is not without enjoyable highlights including performances by Bernard Hopkins and Keith Dinicol as Tweedledum and Tweedledee. The play is an entertaining pro- duction made bearable in the sec- ond half with light musical num- bers. In the end, however, it is mostly eye candy. Alice Through the Looking Glass runs until October 16.
