Congratulations Mike We're proud of you Love, your family Local artists' work featured at art show Roberta Walker GRAND BEND - The Huron Country Playhouse Guild spon- sored an art show and sale at the theatre on Sunday, August 20, from 1 to 5 p.m. The sale coin- cided with the Jazz Festival per- formance at the Main Stage. Artwork from nearly 25 artists was displayed for the enjoyment of tourists and local fans. Most of the artists were from the area in Grand Bend, Exeter, and Parkhill, many belonging to the Grand Bend Art Association. Most of the pieces were paint- ings in a variety of mediums - watercolors, pen and ink draw- ings, acrylic or oil paints, char- coal and pastels. Josy Hilkes Britton of Grand Bend offered two watercolor studies of au- tumn leaves floating in a pond. Her unusual technique in water- colors gives deeper tones, finer detail, and an almost three- dimensional quality to drops of water on a leaf. David Coe of Toronto achieved a similarly striking effect in a watercolor rendition of two tin coffee mugs on a wooden deck. The wood grain is mirrored on the silver surface of the mugs, presenting a beautiful design. Barry Richman of Grand Bend prefers oil on paper, giv- ing jewel-like tones on the soft- er surface, so the colors of au- tumn leaves under an early snowfall, or the ripples of water in a Grand Bend harbor scene almost blaze in intensity. J.D. Ir- vine specializes in pen and ink sketches of historical Grand Bend, from the era of the early 1900's to about 1930, for this show. He works with old photo- graphs and adds extra touches to produce beautifully detailed pieces. Heather Crosbie present- ed some exquisite floral ar- rangements, learned through the Kofu School of Flower Arrang- ing, called Ikebana. She also makes fabric, Japanese dolls. Crosbie lives in Japan, but sum- mers in Grand Bend, near their family. Chris Ironside exhibited a selection of photographs. Many of the pieces featured scenes of the Grand Bend har- bor, farm scenes and rural land- scapes. It's a credit to this com- munity to be able to claim such a number of talented artists among us. Organizer Eileen Pul- len said that the crowd was down a bit, probably due to the heat. About 15 paintings were sold by 3:30 p.m. and she hoped to sell a few more. Water crafts collide GRAND BEND - Two London youths were slightly injured when their Sea -Doo watercrafts collided on Lake Huron August 18. The early afternoon accident oc- curred near Southcott Pines after one of the riders performed a 180 degree turn causing the other to collide head on. One rider was hospitalized in London overnight before being re- leased. investigation by OPP is still ongoing and charges arc pending. Capsule Comments with Ernie Miatello For many people, `passing gas" or flatulence, can be uncomfortable and embarrassing. There are two causes - swallowed air and fermentation by bacte- ria in the large intestine. To reduce gas, don't use sugarless gum or candies. They contain sorbi- tol which is poorly absorbed and can cause increased gas production. Also reduce legumes, beer, and vegetables with fermentable fibre, such as beets, cabbage and brussels sprouts. Also chew your food thorough- ly. Intestinal gas is sometimes caused by an inability to digest the lactose in milk and other dairy products. A product called "Last -Aid" can help with this problem. Interesting results from a study of female smokers: 25% stopped smok- Ing completely when they became pregnant while the majority reduced their consumption by half. This Is a blg Improvement over results 15 years ago, so the message Is getting through. HURON APOTHECARY Ltd.

Ken Gascho has made his pond and park area available in the past to groups such as the Scouts, Youth for Christ and several chtllfch picnics. Gascho said she organized the picnic and fishing trip to her inlaws property because many of the residents may not have held a fish- ing rod for many years. Some sen- iors even fished from the shore- in wheelchairs or were helped to a chair at the edge of the water where they could drop a line. "Entering a home does not have to mean you become isolated or un- able to take part in outing or events "En home have t you iso you have enjoyed," said Gascho. Even those who had never fished before tried their hand at catching one of the bass which seem to have the run of the Gascho pond. Because most of the residents weren't interested in reliving the part of their past that included cleaning fish, the fishing was strict- ly catch and release. The farm is an organ- ic operation and the staff felt the fish would certainly have been safe to eat if de- sired. Staff volunteer Rose Erb acted as the fishing guide and was assisted by Rita Atkin. Ted Underwood, Queensway administrator and Ac- tivity Coordinator Carol Gascho were also on hand encouraging res- idents to participate. Even the bus driver Ken Kadey got into the act, assisting Hensall area resident Tom Slavin with his casting. tering a does not o mean become lated."
