"Time to teach children important
life skills."
Dear Editor:
Re - Photo and caption on page 24 of the TA's
November 17th issue.
I wish to convey to you how disgusted and of-
fended 1 am to see a photo, in your paper of a young
boy taking the fur off a dead animal.
1 am a pet store owner and a lover of all animals. I
spend a lot of my time trying to teach children and
adults how to care for and respect their pets as well
as animals in nature. I am firmly against killing for
sport or furs. I understand and accept hunting when
it is carried out in a responsible humane manner.
And, "only" if the meat is to be eaten.
I am appalled that the Scouts of today would have
their young members committing this act. What is
the purpose behind these teachings? I feel it is a
family decision and responsibility whether or not to
teach a child hunting skills. Not an organization that
is helping a child earn a badge. 1 had a lot of respect
for Scouts Canada. They have helped a lot of boys.
Scouts can be very good in teaching boys every im-
portant social skill But, I can not agree with trap-
ping an innocent animal for the sole purpose of
teaching a young child how to desecrate nature.
With all of the violence and anger in the eyes and
hearts of todays youth it concerns me that a photo
like that might put the wrong idea into some young-
er persons mind. Would it not be more useful for us
"the adults' to teach our children more important life
skills; love, honour, teamwork and respect for each
other and the world which we live in. The world's
wildlife population is depleting fast enough at the
hands of our generation and our forefathers. isn't it
time to teach the next generation how to save our
world.
Yours sincerely
Shelley A. Grant, Owner Critter's Corner, Exeter
Scrooge returns to Grand stage
LONDON - Following the suc-
cess of lasts season's presentation,
The Grand Theatre heralds another
yuletide season with the return of
A Christmas Carol on December
3.
New dune with natural
beach grass created
r
;Brand Bend's Cam Ivey, Paul Tumbull and Jim Di rich
planting dune grass.
GRAND BEND - Over 7,000
beach grass plants have been
transported Fran, : i11sry Provin-
cial Park to anchor a sand dune
created at the northwest side of
Beachplace Condominiums.
Aware that maintaining the
beach's natural beauty is one of
the Village's priorities, the Sauble
Bayfield Conservation Authority,
Pinery Provincial Park and Beach -
place joined together to complete
the initiative. The dune creates a
natural transition between the
beach and the building, and puts
the finishing touches on the pro-
ject's landscaping.
Cam Ivey, Grand Bend Council-
lor, Paul Turnbull, City Clerk and
Jim Dietrich, Beachplace Site Su-
perintendent were ready to roll up
their sleeves and assist Adrian
Vrolyk of Greenwood Nursery
who oversaw the planting. 1st
Thedford Venturers Neil Ewart,
Tom Hawkins, Chris Murphy and
Jason Waite helped to complete
the work. "Planting like this is
crucial to maintaining the beach's
environment,' says Vrolyk. "M
the wind and sand brush against
it, they trigger a reaction in the
grass that causes it to grow and
multiply. Even when it gets bur-
ied it comes back up and helps to
keep the sand in place."
Beachplace residents are proud
that this effort will help to retain
the beach's natural landscape and
invite the public to visit the site.
Leading the cast is William Hutt
as the miserly Scrooge.
The play runs until December
24, Monday through Saturday at
7:30 p.m. in the final performance
December 24 at 2 p.m.

Lucans ribs and tails
dinner 'mord success
LUCAN - The Optimist Club of .Lucan is celebrating a record turnout
for their annual Rib and Tails dinner. The event drew 155 men who col-
lectively contributed over $6,300. This year the event featured a full
length mural, borrowed from the up and coming Carolina Golf Fest in
March'94. The mural provided a suitable backdrop for chipping competi-
tions.
Turkey rolls, a perennial favourite, raised $1.200 on its own. One table
of enthusiastic supporters collectively won over 200 lbs. of fresh turkey,
most of which was donated to a battered women's shelter. The Optimist
were once again assisted by the Lucia' Lions who manned the horse races.
"The boys in the Club deserve rivet on the back for a job really well
done," said fellowship chairman Steve Storey.
The fundraiser contributes toward the nearly S30,000 directed toward
youth related activities in the Lucan,area. The Club meets below the Lu -
can Library on the second and fourth Monday of each month at 7:30 p.m.
New members, or interested guests are welcome. Watch for the Optimist
Shopping Spree December 11, 1993.
