Hay ride enjoyed in Grand Bend
GRAND BEND - The Order of
the Alhambra, Algarva #168, host-
ed their annual hayride for the cli-
ents and staff of ARC industries in
Dashwood.
About 60 people enjoyed hot chi-
li, hot dogs, donuts and hot choco-
late for lunch, served by the Al-
hambra Sir Nobles and their
Sultanas. The weather was perfect
for the hayrides, with lots of fresh
snow for snow ball fights, and in-
side was a piano and tapes for
those who preferred music and
dancing. Order of the Alhambra is
committed to helping those in our
community who are developmen-
tally challenged and this event is a
highlight of winter activities for all
those who attended.
Grand Bend Legion #498 was
the scene on Saturday March 5 of
the annual Kub Kar Rally, as local
Cubs and Scouts hosted the event
for this district. The Scouts, leaders
and parent volunteers helped to or-
ganize the car races and provided
the lunches to all the area cub
packs who entered the competition.
There was also lots of activity at
the Pinery Provincial Park, as a
large group of hardy volunteers
trudged through 10 km. of bush,
snow and sand dunes in a deer
count. This event was organized by
the Ministry to help determine the
;'population density of the local deer
4herd.
On Saturday evening, the cold,
weary volunteers joined other
members of the Lake Smith Con-
servationists, local officials, and
supporters of the Pinery for a wild
game banquet at the Lambton Heri-
tage Museum. The dinner was
hosted by the Lake Smith Conser-
vationist club, with Ross Hayter
and the Museum, with head curator
Bob Tremain. Both the food and
the surroundings were excellent, as
enjoyed by nearly 100 people. Tre-
main reminded the audience of the
Coming of the Swans and the mu-
seum events, starting next week-
end. Hayter explained that several
of the Conservationists are donat-
ing several tonnes of corn to attract
the swans to 'land in the nearby
fields. Don't miss the arrival of the
swans - can spring be far behind?
The sympathy of the entire com-
munity is extended to the families,
relatives and friends of Brent John-
son, son of Paul and Sally Johnson,
and Bill Jennison, son of Bill and
Judi Jennison, who both died sud-
denly in a tragic car accident on
Friday evening, March 5. Funeral
services were held for Brent John-
son at Immaculate Heart of Mary
Catholic Church on Monday morn-
ing at 11 a.m. mass, celebrated by
the pastor, Father Paul Beck.
Services for Bill Jennison were
held on Tuesday at the Grand
Bend Untied Church, with Rev.

high school students joined the
adults to fill both churches at the
funeral services, to mourn the loss
of their friends.
