On the rules and regulations for this contest. it is stipulated that there is 10 be three categories: .1. King of the Castle, 2. Castles of Your Mind, and 3. Individual Competition. It also states that there is to he 1st prize of $500. 2nd prize of $3uo. and :3rd prize of $lex). in each category. However, when the prizes were awarded. only two of the three categories received prizes. The ''King of the Castle.' category and the -Castles of Your Mind' category ap-- parently were incorporated into one category. This lett the remaining category of ':Individual Compel ition.'• What myself and various other par ticipants and non -participants would like to know is what happened to the. three categories previously advertis- ed. and what happened to the remain- ing $900! ! $900 was awarded in the "individual Competition" category and $900 was awarded in the other "newly created" category. So what became of the remaining $900! ! In the Wednesday, August -7. 1985 edition of The Advance, a newspaper serving the Grand Bend and surroun- ding communities, on page 6, is an ar- ticle on sandcastle days- It specifical- ly states that there will be three categories and what each of these three categories represents. Mr. Nick Carter, Vice-president of the Grand Bend Chamber of. Commerce, is • quoted as saying "...there will be cash prizes totalling $2,701. and businesses . are helping sponsor the event with merchandise prizes from their stores." During the distribution of the prizes, there was no menton of any merchandise prizes from any stores. There were also ads for the Sand- castle Days in The Advance and in The Sun. both newspapers Serving the Lake Huron and Grand Bend area. Two ads which appear in The Sun Ix)th advertise (hal (here will he $27110 cash plus merchandise prizes for the winners of the Sandcastle Building competition. In The Advance. they advertise "prizes of cash and mer- chandise totalling over 5:31110 to be a►wa r•ded... Does the lirand fiend Chamber ot Commerce and the sponsors of Sand - caste! Days thunk that no oile trill notice any of this' There are also some other points that -Acted-- la be Mentioned. It stipulates in the rules and regulations under rule No. 4. that "tools allowed will be limited to common garden and househoM implements." This is all fine and dandy. except !hal one gruop had the use of a gas generated sump . pump to bring water up from the lake to their designated plot Since when is a gas generated sump pump con sidered a coinnlon garden unple inenl'' it also stales in rule No.li that sand is to be used from your designated plot. Well. "here were the judges ►then one group well up 'towards 1he cottages te) gather the ".liner sand" for use on their project'.' it semis to ole that when the rules are stipulated. that they should be ad- hered to or your are disqualified from winning. Shouldn't the judges have been around Irom 12 sewn to 4:1111 p.m Battle over pop bottles Exeter council will jurat in the cur- rent battle over the tyle of containers allowed for• use by ( )ntario's soft drink industry. In broaching the subject. ('ouncillor I)on Winter said he had no desire to stipulate whether steel—aluminum. glass or plastic 15)11 les were allowed. but said that whichever tyle is chosen. they should carry a heavy deposit so consumers will be en- couraged to return thein to the source of purchase. Winter said the main intent was to ensure that containers did not end up in the garbage to add to the land till costs. At his suggestion. council agreed In write the rninisle•r of the environment to urge that soft drink bottles carry a large rota"' SO they "-att.( he discarded. Ile said some western provinces have sizeable refunds for soft drink containers and they encourage con- sumers or others to return the con- tainers Ior re -use or recycling. Ile scoffed al a suggestion by a Lon- don bottler on a TV interview that containers should be non -deposit, recyclable. %%l llet• said that was a total contradiction as non -deposit con- tainers would simply end up in the garbage and not in recycling. TOSS SHOES - Lloyd Venner. left, and Harold Pridharn display the form that carried them to the Sportsfest horseshoe team title. and not _just for the judging'! Also, London's CKSL 141 radio sta- tion was involved during the awards ceremony. Perhaps they should have checked out the rules and regulations before they became involved. One other comment l would like to slake is, should one person lie allow- ed to be involved with more than one entry? The person who won the "In- dividual Competition" category, also helped to work on the entry that won in fhe "newly erealed" category . Surely this is not fair" Lt's really too bad that a very good idea for a very fun day should be ruin- ed like it wills. People should be aware of what w'mst on. Do we want the same thing to happen next year? NO!!! This situation should be serious'' looked into, to ensure that it does not happen again. Next year will be too late to ask questions. We should all be asking then now! Sincerely Kelly. D.
