Cruiser sale
disappoints
police board
EXETER - The Exeter Pohcc
Services Board were a throe damp
pointed at the tendered offers for
the refired cruiser sold this month.
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.

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'

HENSALI. - Reeves of both the
Tuckersmith and Usbomc Town-

creased road usage that could be

Monday night.
Bill Carnochan of 1uckersmith
and Pat Down of Usborne said they

Council said they hadn't even
made a decision as to which roods
would be utilized for the transport
of the waste. but that they were in-
terested in upgrading them if nec-
essary.
"1 would really like to see the
roads 'paved' to the ill site:"
commented reeve Cecil Pepper,
"but 1 don't think loll wants to
do it on its own."
Cacoochan said his hope was to
receive provincial government

together.
While council's plans were to test
out the effects of the pilot project
