Times Advocate, 1992-05-06, Page 23(ALMAljj Hats off to -the latest -trend in fashion By Michelle Ellison Whether their purpose is to make a statement, identify someone with a group or to keep with the swift moving fashion trends, the compli- ance in the Exeter area is that hats have become a necessary part of One reason for the growth In hat popularity in the last year was due to the increase in fe- males wearing the baseball style of cap. Here, Bronwyn Pearson wears a jewel deco- rated baseball cap she says she found in Montreal. every young person's summer wardrobe. You only have to go as far as the retailers to see that many styles have taken the industry by storm in the last year. James Archibald of Archie's Beach Co. in Grand Bend focuses his hat purchases on the cotton, low peaked, leather backed style of baseball cap and says he can barely keep them on the GRAM SYSTEMS LTD Quality Grain Storage Drying & Handling Products IDESIGN • SALES • SERVICE rALMAR GRAM SYSTEMS LTD. 354 Weingion S1.

Archibald sees this "school boy's" type of hat as a way for one to identify themselves with a school, sports team, fraternity or group of people. Also found on his shelves are the "Australian out- back" style of summer hat and the bucket (Gilligan) hat. Lisa Tuckey of Melba Tucker's clothing store in Exeter has caught on to the growing trend as she now offers summer straw and felt hats and bowler hats mounted with silk flowers. With the growing number of girls sporting the baseball style of caps, Tucker has also planned purchases of floral, elastic backed caps for summer because "florets are really in this summer." Scot Bogart, speaking for The Sport Den, commented that hats "have really taken off in the last year. We've had to double our se- lection in that time." Bogart noted that some customers have been buying a new hata month, there has been an a00%� ero ase in the number of girls buying baseball type Cipi lied that United States Colleges are their biggest seller. Anne Lindenficld of The Fash- ion Closet says 'Td love to get that look. Hats are really neat. They do something for an outfit." She says her women's clothing store does not presently stock any type of hat be- cause it is risky in a small town where it is hard to determine timing of a trend and more difficult to get people wearing them. Tucker also sees this apprehen- sion in her customers and feels "It only takes one person" to get them to take off. You only have to go as far as the high school to get a feel for the cus- tomers point of view on such pur- chases. Grade nine student Kim Campbell and grade eleven student Julie Clark both say they don't mind the attention they get when wearing their unique looking hat - wear. Both girls also own baseball caps that they say they prefer to wear on "bad hair days". The increasing number of girls donning the basebali cap could also be one reason for the popularity ex- plosion in the past year. April Lewis noted the increase about a year ago. She now has her own cap .ancj Says. she seq the caps as sim- /Vx, ,+.� �i� a �ocan) a way to ov r'`bad Militias". ' The "bad hair" comment seemed to be a prevalent one among both male and female students. "I'm too lazy to brush my hair," said grade thirteen student John Gollen. "You don't have to do anything with your hair. Just throw on a hat," com- mented Amy Neilands, a member of the South Huron District High Hensall Livestock Sales Ltd" • Order buyer for fats, feeders and stockers Stockers and Western Cattle arriving daily.

Jeff Averill, however, says he does not wear his "Los Angeles Raiders" cap to associate himself with that sports team. "1 like the hat because of the way it looks. It matches my clothes. 1 wear the Raiders because it symbolizes pi- rates. It is for the statement." Averill and his circle of "tap- pers" (as they are known by many) can be identified by their distinct style of wearing their Raiders, Mal- colm X or UNLV hats propped for- ward on the back of their shaved heads. If removed, the hat usually reveals a long tuft of hair or per- 1 haps a "bad haircut". Most students recognized the trend of sporting a baseball cap as the first sign that something was happening in the fashion industry and they generally agree that it is for the look" not what is printed on the cap that people are wearing them. Is it just another passing trend that will fade out of the limelight as quickly as it entered it? Archibald doesn't think so seeing as he sees them as a functional pan of a ward- robe and the price is falling as pop- ularity increases. "They have bc- come the t -shirt of headwear." • Neither grade nine student Kim Campbell (right) nor grade eleven student Julie Clark (left) mind the looks, stares and comments they get from wearing their unique style of hats. Lisa Tuckey of Melba Tucker's clothing store in Exeter be- lieves it simply takes people like this to get the trend moving in a small town. Two styles for sporting the infamous baseball cap are shown here by students of South Huron District High School. Shane Pfaff, left, dons a popular U.S. college cap that has become The Sport Den's strongest seller in the past year. Brent John- son wears his cap casually backward.

Fay Patterson • Have you ever ocalliled sheep? Well 1 did - just the other eight! 1 was trying to get to sleep and i couldn't so I decided to do something to help me fali asleep - I decided to count sheep! 1 began to count. One -two -three -four -five. Alt of the sheepumped nicely over the fence and walked away on the clouds. it was then that I noticed, however, that the fifth little sheep walked with a limp! I proceeded to ask her why she limped, and she told me her story. It appears that she limped because she had an achilles heel. -Achilles is one of the most famous of all legendary hems and the central figure of the epic poem attributed to Homer, entitled "Te Ili- ad„ One of the tendons in our leg is called the Tendon of Achilles. It is the tendon that attaches the muscles of the calf to the heel -bone. It is capable of resisting great tensional strain, and yet is sometimes rup- tured by the contraction of the muscles during the sudden extension of the foot. (I hope you all caught that!) Ancient surgeons regarded battle wounds in this tendon as extreme- ly serious, probably because of the legend of Achilles. Achilles was Aped in the protective waters of the Ver`Styx; by his mother, when he was an infant. He became invulnerable, to wounds of any kind, except in the heel by which she held him. As an adult, Achilles was wounded in battle by an arrow in his unprotected heel. So, the fifth little sheep limped, because she had an achilles heel. A wound she sustained, once, in an unprotected area. This little sheep, often didn't want to play with the sheep in the . field. She'd hide in the thicket and watch the other sheep play togeth- er. Sometimes she would wander to the next field when the hireling watched over his sheep. One day she stood in the thicket watching the other sheep play. She decided to go for a walk over to the next field where the hireling was. She arrived and watched those sheep play, until - all of a sudden - a wolf appeared on the other side of the field. He jumped into the field and scattered the sheep in all directions. Frozen with fear, she watched as the hireling ran away, and hid in a nearby shack. Deserted by the hireling, the other sheep in the field began to panic. Remembering her Achilles heel, the little sheep be- gan to go as quickly as she could back to the field of the Good Shep- herd. The wolf spotted her, and came quickly after her, but she es- caped, just in time. She hid in the thicket, shaking and trembling, until she noticed the Good Shepherd standing beside her. She saw holes in his hands and feet, and wondered what could have caused them. Gazing up into his face, she heard him say, "I will protect you". As He turned and walked into His field, she pondered His words. She stood close to where He had been, seeing His footprints that led into the field. She remembered, once more, His words, "I will protect you". She glanced up, and saw the other sheep playing in His field. Hesi- tatingly, she stepped out onto the grass. The wolf was nowhere to be seen. Looking off, to the other side of the field, she saw the Good Shepherd. Remembering His words, she limped over the other sheep. As they came forward to greet her, she was startled to notice, that each one of them was limping, too. "Welcome, welcome!" they all cried, "We've been waiting for you." The Good Shepherd stood at the edge of the field and smiled.
