Mr. Klopp: How very inappropriate and unfortunate that you chose the Commencement Exercises at South Huron High School last Tuesday to politic. Stealing stu- dent thunder, employing grammatical errors, and punctuating your words with "but seriously though" after sharing some inane personal history, simply doesn't cut it with this parent. It must be obvious to you that I listened to your every word, but I remem- her little as I sat more and more enraged awaiting your concluding remarks. Maybe, as my daughter pointed out later, -the rumble of discontent that moved through the crowd upon your introduction and the one of relief as you finally made the presen- tation", would indicate that you upset more than this parent and his daughter. • Most sincerely, Drew Robertson RR I, Crediton High School awards Grade 12 Honour Roll: Ste- ven Hendrick, Lisa Forrest, An Lam, Teresa Snell, Michelle D.

They also rcccivcd words of encour- agement from the guest speakers despite what is expected to be poor -job prospects and a weak economy for the next few years. Members of the Huron County Board of Education addressed the graduates in addition to Huron MPP Paul Klopp and retiring prin- cipal Joe Woodcn. Wooden told thc graduates they are living in an exciting time as much is changing in terms of pol- itics and technology. He told the students that the world they will be entering is a lot different than when he started teaching. As well, Wooden encouraged them to remember the need and im- portance of education.

Grand Bcnd just completed it's busiest holiday weekend of thc summer, stretching from Thursday to late Monday. Friday was Canada Day and Monday was thc Amer- ican July 4 holiday. "Wc have more Americans this year because of the exchange rate," said deputy -mayor Cam Ivey. He had to act as the chief over- seer of thc resort village as mayor Tom Lawson was out of town. Friday night an estimated 12,000 attended the Canada Day fireworks display on thc main beach. Saturday saw Triple Crown vol- leyball come to the beaches of Lake Huron and while there wcrc only participants and very few spectators the opening day, Sunday brought out hundreds as the temperatures warmed up. Without a doubt, the busiest place other than the -bars on the weekend was the harbour where everything from jet -skis and the oc- casional paddle boat to the big 35 - foot power boats churned the wa- ters. Kec,ping track of all the activity around thc docks was not an easy task and at times, it was like di- recting traffic. "We're very fortunate in that the whole harbour staff is back from last year," said Ivey. "They do a very good job. Thc harbour master is a boater himself." After dark the bar scene came to life as thousands of people roamed the streets. Thc Grand Bend de- tachment of the Ontario Provincial Police, working out of their new building, wcrc kept busy. "I was out both Friday and Sat- urday night, it's a different crowd than the May 24 weekend. When you get that many people there's going to be some rowdiness. For the most part, it was pretty good," said Ivey. Thcrc was more than a little row- diness`' Saturday night as the OPP spent most of thc night breaking up several fights on the main street in which three officers wcrc injured. "Saturday night we had a Targe gathering of people who thought fights were in order," said OPP Sgt. Gerd Bruce. "On Saturday it was cold, instead of taking a nice walk on the beach, they took a walk in the bars." One officer was injured seriously enough in the melee of fights that he had to be taken to the hospital. Bruce said things started around midnight and continued until about 4 a.m. "He was breaking up a fight and The Partners of Homuth, Taylor, Pinder & McNeilly are pleased to announce that effective July 4, 1994 RON GODKIN, C.A. has been admitted as a partner and the partnership name has been changed to: HOMUTH, TAYLOR & PARTNERS --Chartered Accountants Homuth, Taylor & Partners provide accounting, auditing, taxation, management and computer consulting services in a personal and professional manner to a wide variety of clients ranging from retail and manufacturing businesses to farm and ngri-business operations. 71 Main Street N.

On the weekend the OPP handed out 96 liquor charges, 10 charges under the Environmental Protection Act, one narcotics, eight highway traffic acts and 11 under the crim- inal code. •, Thc Pincry Provincial Park, a few miles south of the village was also busy and Bruce said his officers were called out .to handle an as- sault. "Wc had another assault out there we had to spend some time on. They wcrc hit with a bottle." quires education. Continue this for your entire Iifc." Bur it wasn't just thc graduating students who wcrc addressed. Paul Carroll, director of the board of ed- ucation _thanked Wooden for his years of service with thc board. "Although we haven't always agreed we have both been in it for thc good- of the kids and educa- tion," Carroll said. Klopp referred to Wooden as a foreword thinker during his address to the graduates. As the evening progressed di- plomas, awards and scholarships were also given out before- class valedictorian Dave Morlock spoke on behalf of his class. In addition to being class repre- sentative, Morlock rcccivcd a num- ber of awards including the Gov- ernor General's medal and th" Moncur scholarship. The scholar- ship was also won by Molly McClure. • Two new awards were also added this year. Thc Michael Herbert Memorial Award was won by Wayne Rob- inson and the 1859 Award was won by Chris Passmore. The second award was set up by Wooden to rccognire a sttident who excels in both arts and technology. Wooden said 1859 was an cx- 'citing time in terms of growth in these fields and said there is a need to connect these two arras. 49 CONE CHILL OUT with the season's biggest value.
