Centralia car show biggest yet
By Mary Peterson
Centralia correspondent
CENTRALIA - Many people en-
joyed outdoor activities on Sunday,
August 25. Centralia/Huron Park
Lions Club hosted a pancake break-
fast and antique, rod and custom
car show at the Centralia ball dia-
mond. This• was their third car
show the Lions Club has organized,
and there were 62 cars registered,
the most to date. Ten trophies were
awarded for spectators' choices. In
addition, the trophy for travelling
the farthest distance was awarded
to Jack and Karen Collins from
Owen Sound in their '68 Chev
Nova. Don Bender from Dashwood
entered a '58 Ford Retractable
Roof that won Best in Show. The
Sunshine Cruisers from London
won the award for the Most Club
Participation. Overnight camping
was available, and Don Roberts
from Shelburne, Ontario, was the
first to arrive in his MG Midget.
Also on August 25, Bill and June
Essery hosted the Newcombe fami-
ly reunion, with many relatives vis-
iting from their homes near Ponti-
ac, Michigan. The families enjoyed
a potluck lunch followed by a live-
ly baseball game. A wedding show-
er was held for Marcia Newcombe
and her fiance, Michael Noorily
prior to their wedding in Dearborn.
Michigan on November 2. There
was also a surprise baby shower for
Jason Essery, the son of Rob Es-
sery and'Mary Peterson.
Bill and June Essery also wel-
comed their daughter, Ruth Ann,
and her husband Matt, for a visit.
Ruth Ann and Matt recently re-
turned from a three-week visit to
France.
One of the highlights of their trip
was a visit to the small village of
Trois-Monts, near Caen. A few
years ago, Rob Essery wrote to a
French historian, Remy Chouinard,
who helped him locate the place
near Trois-Monts where his uncle,
Don Newcombe, was killed. Don
had been a pilot during World War
II, and he was killed when his
fighter-bomber crashed on July 11,
1944. Rob and his wife Mary Pe-
terson had also visited Trois-Monts
to visit the crash site and to meet
the villagers,
On August 15, Ruth Ann and
Matt attended a church service in
Trois-Monts, and, at a special cere-
mony, unveiled a plaque in remem-
brance of Don Newcombe. The vil-
lagers provided a warm welcome
and spoke with greet reaped} of
Don, who had died so help liberate
their country. Roth Ann and Matt
also visited impot'butt historical
sites at Omaha Ind Juno Beaches,
Dieppe, and Vimy Ridge. They
hope that their trip will provide
some interesting background mate-
rial for the courses that they teach
in French and History at the secon-
dary school in Wiarton.
Melissa Snell, who lives in Cen-
tralia, has passed some rigorous
written and physical tests to earn a
month-long trip to Cadet Camp in
Scotland. She left for Scotland on
July 5 along with 17 other Cadets
and two officers.
Bob Snell, Melissa's father, com-
peted in a fishing derby on August
11 in Port Elgin and placed fif-
teenth out of more than 2500 en-
tries with his salmon.

evision on August 22 at noon,,.you
