Ball tourneys galore By Joan Beierling VARNA - This past Saturday was I the big day for ball tournaments. The Stanley Mite girls coached by Karen Courtney played an excellent game Saturday morning and won but couldn't win their next game against Holmesville so were put- out. Good season girls! The girls enjoyed a pool party at the Cort- ney's following their ball game. The Squirt Girls Tournament was held in Clinton and they won all their games which gave them the "A" Championship. Congratula- tions to the team and to their coach- es Elaine Stephenson and Helen Fa- ber. The Midget girls tournament was held in •Londcsboro and they won the "A" Championship also. Con- gratulations to these girls and their coaches Jean Horton and David Cooper. The Squirt boys started their tour- nament on Friday night in Varna. They came up against a tough Holmesville team and lost to them which put them into the B catego- ry. They won all three of their games on Saturday and came out the "B" Champions. Congratula- tions to this team! Super coaching by Dan. Taylor. The Pee Wee Boys Tournament was held in Benmiller and they won their first game and lost their sec- ond game. Their coaches are Steve Baldwin, Mac Webster and Gerald Hayter. To CNE On Sunday Heather Laurie, Kim Taylor and Heather Beierling went with the Bayfield, Goderich area Girl Guides to the C.N.E. to To- ronto by bus and had a very excit- ing and fun day.

There were 75 children in all at- tending with 37 being from Bruce - field, four from Kippen, 15 from Soapstone carver By Roberta Walker GRAND BEND - Rings, Strings and Things/Grey Otter Art Gallery featured an artist and his work on the weekend, August 19-20. Steve Powless, an Iroquois soap stone carver from the Six Nations Re- serve, demonstrated his techniques to interested tourists. Powless is self-taught, and has been carving for seven years, begin- ning in high school. He bases his work on legends and Indian mythol- ogy carving turtles, eagles, masks, often mixedtogether with faces to produce pieces of intrinsic power and mysticism in breath taking de- tail. Powless used to use soapstone (stealite) from New York Finger - lake District, or further south in Maryland, but found it too dark. Now he imports soapstone from Brazil at 800/1b. to provide a brown colored stone quite different from Eskimo dark green or grey. He ap- plies a clear acrylic to the stone to highlight the shades of brown, leav- ing other areas a whitish color, and the color also varies with the metal content of the stone. Most of his work goes to the To- ronto and 1\ tontreal market, where he delivers his carving in person, usually selliig as much. as he can produce. The pieces run from $40 to S400 apiece, according to size and detail. Each one seems to be imbued with its own "soul", carved into the living rock by its Indian creator, resulting in a totem piece with a presence of its own. He is a talented young artist whose work keeps improving with experience, and promises a bright future. Elaine Tostevin, Lon- don,acts as his agent locally, and ar- ranged the show in Grand Bend. His next show is in Toronto, where once again people will be lining up to watch Powless work his magic in stone, and to buy one for themselves. Some of his work is still available at the Grey Otter Uaiicry in (hand i'�cttu.

It was a great week for eve- ryone involved. ve-ryone-involved. Parkers back Barbara Ann and Sam Parker and family have returned from their trip out West and thank the Lord they have lots of great memories. After four long days travelling in a car with two small children, they were certainly glad to sec the sign that marked their destination. After their surprise arrival to Sam's twin brother's home, Mac, they stayed for a few days then were off to ex- plore the wild west of Alberta. They spent one day at the Edmon- at Varna ton Mall and had a fantastic lime on the waterslides and wave pool. They then got themselves ready for the dedication service for Sam's nephew David. Sam performed the dedication and Barbara Ann sang. They then spent two days in the mountains. What wondrous and beautiful sights they saw. From Banff to Sunshine Mountain to Lake Louise, Murraine Lake and the Glacial Icefields, their eyes never stopped taking in the intricate beau- ty of our God's Creation. They also had a chance to enjoy the true West by horseback riding. While they were in Clive, they even had the chance to visit with their next door neighbours from Varna, Dave and Bonnie Roy. It's too bad they have to travel so far to sit down and share a pot of coffee. Yard sales Don't forget the multi -family yard sale to the held at the Stanley Ball Diamond on Labour Day weekend.
