Parkhill. Firemen from Ailsa Craig and Ilderton who were com- peting in a "firemen's tug- of-war" event nearby rushed to the scene when the helicopter was seen going down. Ash. who has been flying helicopters for eight years, said he decided to land the machine because it was making a lot of noise after the plate was damaged. "I landed for safety. It wasn't an emergency situation." The helicopter is owned by Edgeworth Helicopters of London and was not damag- ed in the landing. A field of 450 turtles com- eted for the title of Ontario Grand Champion on the weekend. and in the end it was a retiring box turtle named Tony who ambled off with the top honors and more than $100 in prize money. Tony. who hails from a little-known spot called "Bil- ly Daniel's Crik" near Ailsa Craig. ran consistently in all three of his heats. but with few flashes of brilliance. In the final runoff Sunday against another box turtle named Speed Demon, Tony actually stopped just before the finish line to look for his competitor. Consequently, the winning time for the 25 - foot distance was a tortoise - like one minute. 16 seconds. - Tony's owner, Blanche Collins of Ailsa Craig, said the turtle trained for the competition for about a week by running every day and eating a carefully balanced diet of lettuce, cold meat and crackers! The competition's fastest time. set on Saturday by a speedster named B.J., was 32.5 seconds. which falls short of the record 31.5 set in 1979 by a turtle named Leisure Time Charlie. B J met his future owner and trainer. seven-year-old Cathy Amos by chance on a gravel road near her home at RR 2. Ailsa Craig, just days before the competition. Unfortunately. B.J. peak- ed during his first race with a time that was a personal and competition best, but during the final race between the heat winners he was unable to come any where near repeating his earlier performance. The turtle races were just one of the attractions that drew more than 12.000 peo- ple to Ailsa Craig over the weekend for their annual Gala Days celebrations. The weekend's festivities included a variety show. fiddling jamborees. a bed race. a 10 -kilometre run, arm wrestling and shuffleboard competitions. Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Appleton were in Waterloo, Saturday, where they attended the wedding of Pamela Oberle to Jerry McCullagh. Pamela is the eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Bill Oberle. Bill played hockey for Exeter for the Exeter Mohawks. B. M. Francis will be celebrating his 95th birthday on July 29.
