Rain didn't dampen the spirits of the Grand Bend Scouts and Cubs as they planted 300 trees
on the farm of Norm Hodgins north of Corbett on Saturday in their annual Trees for Canada
drive.
A tarewel 1 column from
Grand Bend's correspondent
By Roberta Walker
GRAND BEND - This will be
:my -.last official column as your
.Grand Bend correspondent. I've
been sending in news for over 10
years now, through the previous
correspondent Lynn Desjardinc.
For about the last eight years I have
served as your faithful reporter and
town tattler, covering Winter Carni-
val activities, Sand Castle Days,
'Thunderbird rallies and antique car
shows _at .the Lambton Heritage
Museum and Farmers Markets. To-
gether we've enjoyed "As Tho Bend
Turns" and "Re-Turns"_and-th an-
nual Grand Covelistatesmvue,ond

and Music _ Concert :series :at : the

Girl Guides, .Brownies and .Cubs, -4-
H Club members and school.:sci-
duce at Farmers' Market and praise
their ingenuity, and "there's always
next year" for the family farm.
The town chronicler has a unique
opportunity to observe the life and
history of a community, whether
the seat is dead -centre or at the pe-
riphery. In our moments of triumph
and grace, of silliness and poor
judgement, ofl :.nd•of.joy,'the
correspondent hitters -to -record the

perience for mean so many ways,
.:and I'll miss .it. You'll still hear
ifrom me occasionally -in -the news.
-Good lack to -my successor - a
-:wealth of experience awaits.
Editor's note: Roberta Walker is
.taking over as chairman of South
Huron Community Living and is no
longer able to serve as full-time
community correspondent. We wish
_kerwell.
the stories about it being thankless
work for little pay are true.
However, we invite anyone inter-
ested in serving the Grand Bend
community to call the Times Advo-
cate collect ot -235-1331. We will
be glad to offer tips and assistance
to prospective candidates. A.D.H.
