GRAND BEND'S PLAYGROUND -- A cool day at the playground prompted leaders Karen
Kneale and Lisa Homather to bring out watercolor sets for the children to do some painting.
On the left side of the picnic table:are Thora Reid, Julie Uniac, Toby Rathbun and Karen

Sharen said that it was the
land company who had
opposed the traffic light
previously, not the residents
who were requesting it now.
It was decided that the
request_ for the stop light
would be put off until the
trq�, tic and parking survey
would be done.
Council received a letter
from the Grand Bend
Medical Centre requesting a
copy of a survey done of
housing for senior citizens.
Sharen said that the
response to the survey was
so low that nothing was done
with the results. Sharon
speculated that the medical
centre was considering
building senior citizens
apartments in _the area
behind - their- —present
building. The medical centre
also made inquiries about
sewer installations.
The council voted to send
$100 to Dover Township in
response to a request from
the Flood Relief fund. No
decision was reached about
sending money to a Flood
Relief fund in Sudbury. "I
hope they remember if we
ever have a disaster our-
selves,". Reeve Sharen said.
In other business, council
voted to pay July accounts
payable in the amount of
$34.850.84. They -- also
responded to a survey sent
out asking them what
Pg
them on the success of the
Burgerfest.
The chamber of commerce
was also asked if they would
help organize businesses on
Main Street to prepare for
the sewer installations.
Chamber members will
approach Main Street
businessmen to determine
whether they want fo tender
the work out to one qualified
plumber. or have each in-
dividual look after his own
hook-ups. Chamber
President Nick Carter
agreed to have the chamber
co-operate with the sewer
committee.
Doug Parker of DeLeuw
Cather Ltd. attended the
meeting to present his
company's plans for a traffic
and parking_ _survey_ to. he
done in Grand Bend.
Councillors felt that it was
too late to do the survey this
summer. since they had
missed the July 1 weekend.

through several layers;-
the
ayersrthe toes had gaping holes.
The laces had been
replaced several times. but
finally' I tired of buying new
laces. and an intricate
system of knots and striTlgs
held them on my feet.
Then one day I wore them
while digging potatoes on

black. The fine. black dust
has -a tendency to sink into
every crack it can find. My
worn sneakers absorbed the
black dust and everytime 1
wore them after that my feet
turned out black. no matter
what colour my socks were.
The black hog spelled the
death ofNmy sneakers. but I
still wasn't considering
parting with them. They
were the height of rot-
tenness. combining gym
activities. everyday wear
and tear. and farming.
But my tidy parents did
away with them. and my
present sneakers although
fairly worn; are by no means
rotten. Nor do they have any

At
The
Playhouse
A solid performance
Patrick Henry's Angel Street
is being presented at Huron
County Playhouse this week.
Even though the audience
knows "whodunit" almost
from -the very beginning, the.
Playhouse company is able
to pack suspense into the
Victorian -type thriller. •
The play first appeared as
Gaslight in 1983 and should
have retained this name,
since the glowing of the gas
lights plays an important
role in the unravelling of the
mystery. In fact, the time
spent by the actors and
actresses turning the gas
lights up and down alxost
makes the play tedious in
Parts
However, this is a very
minor flaw in the production,
and the audience can excuse
the time spent adjusting
lights when they realize the
importance of them.
The set is good giving the
audience a view of a drawing -
room in 1886 Victorian bric-
a-brac and pictures clutter
the walls.
The costumes are well
done. Bella's long Victorian
style gown complete with
train swishes about as she
walks. Suspense is added
when Mr. Manningham can't
-decide which cravat to wear
and keeps returning to the
closet where Rough is
hiding. Much is made of
Rough working only in his
shirtsleeves, and of Course
his bowler hat plays an
important role in the play.
Irena Mayeska gives an
excellent performance of
Bella. Ms. Mayeska's eyes
and movements show the
fear that Bella must feel as
her husband systemically
tries to drive her insane.
Ms. Mayeska-. also does a
good job of portraying
Bella's mood changes as she
jumps from the ecstasy of
going to the theatre, to the
horror of being accused of
yet another mad caper.
Paul Craig, as her
diabolical husband handles
this role as it should be.
Craig appears as cold and
calculating, and even his
attempts at • warmth :seem
false.
John Codner as Inspector
Rough is the audiences
favorite and comes across as
recreational facilities they
would like to see in Grand
Bend.

truly likeable. Rough sup-
plies the comic relief in the
thriller, and the scene where
Rough persuades Bella to
drink scotch whiskey for
medicinal purposes brings
many laughs.
Many of Rough's lines are
funny in themselves: he tells
Bella, that her husband is not
loyal to her by saying
" s . u're not the only piece of
ivy on the garden wall."
In another scene Rough
leaves his hat en the table
while hiding from Mr.
Manningham in/the closet.
You'd almost expect to hear
someone shout to him from
the audience that his hat's on
the table as the tension
mounts. At the last-minute
he remembers and whisks
his hat out of sight.
Codner plays the role of
Rough in fine fora., as
anyone who . read the
paragraph in the playhouse
program describing his
background might -imagine•:
Detective or police roles
have been favourites of
Codner's
The parts •of the servants
Nancy and Elizabeth, though
minor, are played very well
by Joyce Seeley and .Jenny
Turner. Ms. Seeley also adds
co►nedy ► to e' play as she
tempts 'yi . Manningham
with warm kisses and
squeals of delight.
Two members of ' the
playhouse's young company,
Philip Street and Mark Flear
have walk-on appearances
as English bobbies.
The action of the play. is
packed into one afternoon
and evening and the ending
of the play seems weak.
However, the problem is
more that of a writer looking
for a way to wrap things up.
rather than this production_
Director Lynne Gorman
gives a good interpretation
of a play that has a little of
everything -mystery, sus-
pense, and even comedy.
