The highest of tree tenders for the white 1989 Chevrolet Caprice was $2.358. offered by a Tarmto company, considerably less than the 57.000 that had been hoped for the car Chief Jack Harkness told the board that had the cruiser been sold last fall as originally planted, it would have brought a higher value for use as a taxi cab. but had since entered its third year of service and lost that value. The cruiser received over S1.000 in repairs sine last November. Harkness said it had to be towed four limes due to bseakdovms. "I was a bit embarrassed by it at the safety lanes because it was like- ly in worse shape than some of the vehicles we were scrutinizing," he said.

Audience caught in the Mousetrap at Huron Country playhouse By Michelle Ellison T -A Staff GRAND BEND - Following in the footsteps of The Huron Country Playhouse's most successful run of a play in history, The Sound of Music, Ls a chal- lenge, but luckily, the theatre safely chose a guaran- teed to be successful script to bring the audience down from the hills. From the mistress of mystery Agatha Christie. comes The Mousetrap, the longest running play in history with a thriller "whodunit" plot which doesn't let the trap spring shut until the very end. In the true essence of Chrisuc, the play is set in Monkswell manor, a new guest house in England dur- ing a blizzard. Enter host and hostess Giles and Mol- ly Ralston, five guests and las usual) a plausible rea- son to suspect each to be the covert murderer. creating the perfect atmosphere for suspense. The entire play hinges • on- the question posed by Detective Sargeant' Trottcr, "Just how -much do you know about these people staying at your guest house. Mr. Ralston," he asks until even Giles says to his nee bride, "It's like 1 never knew you". Jody Racicot playing the young, flamboyant and rather psychotic Christopher Wren, charms the audi- ence throughout as he fluters about the stage playing mind games with each guest. A credited performance also goes to Rona Wad- dington returning to the Ptajrhouse for a second sea- son as the genuine hostess of Monkswell Manor. A few slips of lines and a sense of ill timing in the occasional . speech made for a deliberate first act, but taking into consideration opening night nerves heightetned by the overwhelming, tragic death the night before of artistic director Tony Lloyd, this was a minor disappoinnnent of the performance that is sure to improve during it's run until July 18. This critique could not go by without a hats off to D'Arcy Poultney for his set design of the Oid.English great hall of Monkswell Manor which could be one of the most elaborate the Playhouse has seen in recent years. As well, the technical craftsmanship which created the wildly blowing snow outside the bey window was extremely impressive leaving this reviewer asking whodunthee' omposter road to suffer?
