Lucan swimming pool project
expected to be .ready by x.993
LUCAN - Holman Steffens,
chainnan of the Lucan and commu-
nity swimming pcx)f refurbishing
program. said this work he hopes
the project will be completed for
the season of 1993.
Steffens indicated the fund rais-
ing was going well to cover the ex-
pected cost of $200,000. He added,
"This is turning into a community
effort with a number of service
clubs throwing their support behind
us. Work will begin as soon as the
financing is in place."
A PRIDE grant from the provin-
cial..government in the amount of
522;000 is expected. The Lucan Li=
ons and the Lucan and arca Knights
of Columbus are each providing
$10,000 and the Lucan Legion and
the Ilderton Lions are each contrib-
uting $2,000.
The chairman said the main fund
raising projeet will be a calendar
lottery similar to the one which is
currently proving to be very suc-
cessful for the Precious Blood Mis-
sion in Exeter. Tickets will sell for
$30 each and prizes will be handed
out for each day of 1993 beginning
on January 1 of next year.
The pool which is close to 30
years old will be refurbished in eve-
ry way. The floors are being taken
out and the new floors will have a
different gradual slope from two
and a half feet at the shallow end to
11 and a half feet at the deepest
point.
The walls of the pool will be
sandblasted and a new cement like
material added. The bath house will
be completely renovated with a
new roof and new equipment will
be acquired.
In conclusion, Steffens said, "For
safety and social reasons all kids
should learn to swim and with this
project we will be giving them the
opportunity to'do so."
For this season, the summer
swimming lesson program is being
changed to four sessions, of two
weeks each and one extra instructor
will be hired.

Lions Peanut Stomp returns
EXETER - The Lions Club are
bringing back one of their more
popular fundraisers of years past.
Tlie Peanut Stomp is back and will
be held at the South Huron Recrea-
tion Centre on July 11.
"We're resttneedog it," confumed
Lions vicapresident Mac MacDou-
gall, noting the event had been
missing from Exeter's summer cal-
endar for about eight years.
'It was always a fitn time. It got
a reputation in the last couple of
years as getting a little out of
Correction:
wrong gr�up
gets credit
In last week's paper, a photo-
graph of the fknt ratia Bridal -Show -
had a caption which attributed the
event to the wrong group.
The historical tribute to bridal
gowns from 1890 to the present
was organized and presented by the
Centralia United Church Women,
not the Stephen Sesquicentennial
Committee.
The Times Advocate regrets the
error and apologizes for any embar-
rassment or inconvenience it may
have caused.
Fisher living
up to Hensall
participaction
challenge bet
GODERICH - The aftermath of
the recent Fitness Challepge be-
tween Zurich and Hensall was evi-
dent even at county council Thurs-
day.
County warden and Zurich reeve
Bob Fisher apologized to the coun-
cil for wearing so many pins to the
meeting.
"Zurich and Hensall had a partici-
paction challenge and we lost,"
Fisher told the council.
"Until I get my hat I have to wear
their pins," he said of the agree-
ment which stated that the village
which saw.the largest percentage of;
residents out exercising on May 27
could make the losing reeve wear
the winner's hat for a month.
Fisher's jacket was festooned
with pins and buttons promoting
Hensall, including the Hen -

noted that with ticket sales limited
to 500 people in the recreation cen-
tre auditorium, that problem should
be solved.
Past Peanut Stomps attracted up
to 1,000 people or more and were
held on the arena ice surface floor.
MacDougall said the Peanut
Stomp had always been a greed
fundraiser for the club and the Li-

in the summer ahice its &Mine.
A Dixieland jazz'band from Lon-
don will'be providing' the evening's
entertainment, and yes, there will
be peanuts.
"We make peanuts available to
everyone who's there. You don't
have to stomp on them," said Mac-
Dougall. "The shells do tend to
end up on the floor though."
MacDougall said the original in-
spiration for the Peanut Stomp is
unknown.
"Whether that came from the
White Squirrel campaign or vice
versa, I'm not sure," he said. "But
certainly the connotation is there."
Tickets are being pre -sold *Mare

"Should be a fun night," observed
