Here, Chief Executive Officer Bill Thibert stands with the equipment along with Janet Haak, owner of Janet's County Donut Cafe.

That was the highlight of the week a Queensway Nursing Home when nineteen travelled to Gascho's Park near Zurich Thursday, August 17 for a picnic and fishing trip. The luck was good as five people caught fish. Mildred Gingerich said "It was a first for me. I've never caught a fish before." Residents used min- nows for bait and some were so big it made them think they'd caught something. Pearl Eyre said this brought back many memories of picnics her family had at parks. Tom Slavin said, "I can't remember t the last time I caught a fish." Catch and release was the order of the day, so there were no fish to clean. Everyone enjoyed the picnic lunch and lemonade and they'd love to go again. Thanks to Ken and Della Gascho for welcoming everyone. Thanks also to Rose Erb for helping bait hooks and making sure fish were released safely. Rita Atkin, Joyce Bailey, and Elva Forrest•were a great help serv- ing lunch and assisting resi- dents. A great day! Team saddened by loss of Bucky cont. from front page Whyte stuck to his story, however, throwing suspicion for the "heinous crime" on a rival team. The last game at which Bucky appeared was against Custom Arts. Throughout the game, members of the Custom Arts squad could be seen quietly talking and pointing at Bucky, Whyte said. The bear was last seen on Sunday, August 5 drinking a Canadian beer at the Seaforth Apartments, just outside the door of Sue Elliott, girlfriend of A's captain Bob Rhynard. "Sue says if she ever gets Bucky back, she'll never leave him outside again," Whyte said. Bucky was a social animal, attending every game, riding shotgun around town with Rhynard and sticking out of the T -roof, partying with the team after victories. Since Bucky's disappearance, Rhynard has BLUEWATER CABINETS & TRIM LTD. ,w changed his insurance over to his four -door winter car, refusing to drive without his sidekick. Rhynard's signature style of hitting is to foul off numerous balls before hitting a home run but since the bearnapping he • has been unable to hit any foul balls, let alone home runs, Whyte said. The team misses Bucky so 'much, they have offered a reward of one six-pack of beer to anyone providing infor- mation that leads to his recovery. . The A's have a history of bad luck with mascots. Their pink raccoon Stinky disap- peared after last season. "Stinky's disappearance wasn't so mysterious. He was looking pretty rough," Whyte explained. The team is against finding another mascot. "We're going to keep looking for Bucky," Whyte said. Ross Henry, Goderich, averag- ing 1145 lbs. sold for an aver- age of 83.49 with sales to 87.00.

The first jazz liturgy in Grand Bend was held in 1985. Since 1992, the church has staged one each summer. The liturgy, featuring original 'music by local composer Norm Tufts, of Southcott Pines, is based on the parable of The Good Samaritan. The liturgy (the same one presented in Grand Bend last summer) was first performed at Olivet United Church in Hamilton in 1989. That ser- vice was telecast and shown four times on Vision T.V. in 1989 and four times in 1990. CBC presented the liturgy once in 1989 and again in 1990 and 1993. "To get something well aired more than once on CBC, you can imagine that doesn't hap- pen all the time," said Tufts, who has written five separate jazz liturgies, which have been performed a total of 10 times. Music for the local service on August 27 at 11 a.m. will be performed by members of the Can -Am Orchestra, conducted by Tufts, with vocals by Leona Sellers, the orchestra's regular vocalist. • Tufts was introduced to the jazz liturgy format by legend- ary composer, the late Duke Ellington, who originated the jazz liturgy and wrote and performed several in the 1960s and '70s. Tufts said Ellington con- sidered the jazz liturgy "one of the most important contribu- tions he made as a composer and band leader. The church and jazz had become diametri- cally opposed and he saw this as a way of bringing things back together." Composing a jazz liturgy, "is a matter of sitting down and reading the scripture passages and setting it to music," said Tufts, who wrote both the music and the vocals for the upcoming liturgy. Tufts said the liturgies have become quite popular and the outdoor (weather permitting) service attracted about 350 people last year. Staging a jazz liturgy can be an expens- ive proposition, said Tufts, noting that the Can -Am Orchestra members who will be appearing are some of the top jazz musicians in North America, who must be paid union scale for the perform- ance. Still, there's no admis- sion charge, although the usual Sunday collection plate is passed. The service gets underway at 11 a.m. on Sunday, August 27.
