musings
BY MARY ALDERSON
Your back and shoulders
ache as you tall out of bed in
the morning You stumble to
the bathroom. and as you
bend over the bathtub to
turn on the taps. you notice
that your right knee is bright
purple with bruises. When
you turn on the taps, there is
a sharp pain when you break
the large blister between
your thumb and pointer
finger.
After your shower, you go
to your closet and find that
every pair of pants you own
has a strange worn out spot
on the right knee.
If all these problems sound
familiar. then you were
probably in a curling bon -
spiel the night before.
The sore shoulders result
from trying to move around
those ridiculously heavy
hunks of granite. The
bruised knee is caused by
those mandatory long slides
out of the hack. The blistered
hands come from a broom
handle. as you're sweeping
your heart out to the sound of
some guy named "Skip"
shouting "Yes. yes. yes'"
Yes. curling is a great
sport. - plenty of fun, and you
only suffer minor discom-
forts. besides the frost-bitten
toes.
Now. snowmobiling,
there's a sport where I get
plenty of exercise. 1 can
hardly wait for the season to
to get underway.
Like so many other people.
I used to be down on
snowmobiles. Some people
say that they are just a waste
of gas. especially since the
price has gone sky high. But
as an avid .boater and
waterskier. I could never use
the gas -wasting excuse.
So I used to criticize
snowmobiling because I
thought it didn't give you
enough exercise
That was before I tried it.
My husband +well. he was
my boyfriend then+ bought a
snowmobile in a moment of
weakness during a blizzard a
few years ago.
The snowmobile is a rather
small one. certainly not built
for two. But it's the only one
we have, so I'm expected to
sit on the back and enjoy the
ride.
This is where I get all my
exercise. I spend 'more time
falling off then I do riding.
Just trying to stand up in a
bulky snowsuit and boots
that make your feet look like
Frankenstein's is plenty of
exercise. Now imagine
trying to do that while laying
in a snowbank, on your back
like the proverbial turned
turtle.
When I do finally get to my
feet, I then get plenty of
exercise chasing the
snowmobile. and my
husband who didn't notice a
thing. down the trail.
Shouting doesn't help.
because he can't hear a thing
through the helmet either.
Usually when I take these
runs behind the snowmobile.
I find that the snow is waist
deep.
I've somewhat remedied
thefrequencyof these chases.
Now as I feel myself slipping
off the back of the machine. I
start flailing my arms and
legs as hard as I can. One of
my swings will usually hit
my dear driver a good loud
crack on the back of his
helmet. The sound rever-
berates through his helmet.
until he realizes he's lost his
cargo.
Last weekend we went
with some friends to a dance
kicking off the next
snowmobile season. In
another moment of
weakness, my . husband
purchased a membership in
the Arkona Hillclimbers
Snowmobile Club.
Already some of the other
members are telling us we
should go in their annual
long distance run from
Arkona to Hensall in
January.
That kind of exercise, I
don't need.

GRAND BEND
AND DISTRICT NEWS
Former employees back
to work at Bell Aerospace
Of the 21 people who have
been hired at Bell Aerospace
about 75 percent are former
employees, managing
director Jim Mills says.
Bell Aerospace began
hiring in October after
landing a $21 million con-
tract with the American
army for four air cushion
vehicles. Mills reported
earlier that the firm had
received hundreds of ap-
plications.
The staff of 15 has already
been boosted to 36. Letters
went out to all former em-
ployees who had been laid
off, inviting them to return to
work. Mills says that the 75
percent return rate was
about what had been an-
ticipated. "Many of the
skilled labourers have gone
on to better things," he said.
Mills says that they have
tried to hire local people
when possible. but some of
the jobs require that workers
be brought into the area.
Some are called "job
shoppers" - people to do
,short term preparation work
and have contracts for
periods from one to four
months.
Right now work at the
plant is in the planning and
scheduling stage. People are
required with specialized
knowledge in tooling and
fixtures. "And there's paper
work." Mills added.
Mills says that the hiring
will continue and by next
March the staff will be about
50. By next fall they expect to
have a staff of 80 and be into
production.
Mills says that training
courses in conjunction with
Fanshawe College and with
assistance from the federal
and provincial governments
will be set up at the plant to
tram local workers. Many of
the jobs require special
skills.
