The task before me is to introduce my tall and rotund self in the short time before the fine Huron Expositor goes to press. So here goes. My name is Ben. That picture you see along with it in this space is mine, and you may be surprised to know that it hasn't been surgically altered. No Botox, no cheek implants, no face lifts. What you see is basically what God gave me, plus 100 extra pounds or so - and no, you're not imagining things. I really am that handsome. Just kidding. What I should have told you by now is that we might be seeing more of each other this summer. I'll be filling in for Jason and Susan during their much - deserved vacations, serving as a reporter/photographer for this and three other Sun Media papers until the end of August. My thanks go out to Expositor publisher Tom Williscraft for graciously choosing to have me on board in the coming months, as well as everyone else at the Seaforth office for putting up with me. Thanks also to you, dear reader, for surrendering part of your week to peruse my Letters Vanastra Rec boasts municipality's best, only indoor pool To the Editor, I would like to respond to an article carried in the paper on April 13 of this year under the heading "Huron East questions lifespan of rec centre at Vanastra as pool repaired." In this article the Huron East council made some comments that questioned the viability and usefulness of the Vanastra Recreation Facility. As a user of the facility and member of the Vanastra Recreation Committee, I found these comments to be unhelpful in our efforts to promote our facility to the community and demeaning to the committee and staff of the facility who strive to provide the best recreation programs and indoor pool that we can with our limited budget. Yes, it may be "old" as Deputy -Mayor MacLellan said, but we are certainly the best indoor pool facility in the municipality (read only indoor pool facility), and rather than knocking our efforts to improve and prolong the life of the facility perhaps council could become supporters and promoters of their municipal pool. The $40,000 spent on resurfacing the pool and creating a change room for the physically challenged have greatly added to the lifespan and user friendliness of the centre. We have worked with faulty equipment and contradictory advice on how to fix our filtration problems and still managed to provide the recreational services that so benefit our community. I think that before you talk about "mothballing our facility" you had better research the costs, time, and inter -community bickering over location you will be faced with when trying to build a new state of the art facility. which like the big new pools in Wingham and Goderich, will still operate in the red. I wonder how much Deputy -Mayor MacLellan plans to raise the taxes so that he can have the millions of dollars required to build such "a new proper building in 10 years"? The Lions club and the people of Vanastra and surrounding community have supported the Vanastra pool financially and through their attendance. I think it is time that council got fully behind recreation in our municipality and the work your employees and committees put into our recreational programs. The only message that comes out of the type of comments made by council quoted in this article is that Vanastra Pool will soon be closing, which makes it really hard to sell memberships and get support and are, hopefully, completely untrue. The Vanastra Recreation Centre would like to invite everyone to tour our facility at an Open House on Thursday, June 9 from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. There will be a ribbon cutting at 10 a.m, free swimming in our newly - resurfaced pool from 6:30 - 8 p.m. and enjoy cake and ice cream from 7-8 p.m. to celebrate our recent improvements!

You're probably wondering if I'm a journalism student, and I have to confess that I'm not. I'm actually a history major at Brock University in St. Catharines, Ont., and plan to go onto "J school," as it's called, after I'm done there. Although I don't have any formal journalism training, 1 do have a fair bit of experience working at local newspapers. My work has appeared in Exeter's Times -Advocate, Grand Bend's The Lakeshore Advance, and more recently the Clinton News -Record. I've also done some pro- bono writing for a number of websites, and a couple of music magazines. One of them, a religious publication called Cross Rhythms, is based out of the United Kingdom. Another, called FEED, has also published some short articles of mine, in spite of the fact that I know the square root of Church Services these area churches St. Thomas Anglican Church A Congregation of the Parish of The Holy Spat Jarvis St. Seaforth Fr.
