By Roberta Walker GRAND BEND - The Catholic Woolen's League hosted a Carnival celebration open to all families of Immaculate Heart of Mary parish in Grand Bend on Noverpber 4. The special event was organized in observance of the International Year of the Family, and held in the Alhambra hall. The hall was filled with music, laughter and noise of children and parents, tots and seniors, celebrat- ing the life of the family. The eve- ning began with a clown, Amy Co- ber, of Watford to entertain the youngsters, and she kept busy the rest of the evening painting faces. CWL member Josie Britton ran the craft table, also occupied by busy Lingers throughout the carnival. Magician Steve Burnett of "World of Lafter", London, enthralled chil- dren and adults alike with his mag- ic tricks. Rapt silence was punctu- ated with applause and whispers of "How'd he do that?" The hit of the evening had the unlikely title of "Lizard Lady", Val Williams of London. A staunch conservationist and environmental- ist, she kept the interest of the younger set, and some of the par- ents too, as she displayed a variety of snakes, a tarantula, scorpions, millipedes, centipedes, tree toads, and a huge South African bullfrog. She described the habitat of each. She always stressed the fact that these creatures are beneficial to hu- mans because they feed on large quantities of insects that torment people or damage crops. Even the poisonous tarantula or scorpion cannot kill with their bite - the tox- in isn't deadly, only painful, and they too, have a legitimate place in nature. Indigenous species of frogs, toads and snakes make interesting pets and may be safely released into the local environment when a child tires of them - something you cannot do with a used python or second-hand crocodile! The adults clustered round when Williams fed her pets - some toads and snakes prefer a diet of insects and earthworms, but the most fasci- nating/repelling spectacle was watching the other snakes devour live mice. Unlike cats, snakes do not play with their food, but are quick and efficient when dining. Val Williams' presentation is cer- tainly an interesting learning expe- rience. Later on some of the older chil- dren performed a funny skit, then the D.J. Jim Waite of Port Franks started up the dance music. There were plenty of refresh- ments available throughout the eve- ning - hot doge nunchies, cakc, cookies and squares, coffee and pop - no one had to go hungry. The whole event was available free to the parish, compliments of the IN USBORNE RE-ELECT KEN OKE for Councillor Authorized by the CFO for the Ken Oke campaign TODD DESAULNIERS wants the same things you want and is prepared to follow through if elected to GRAND BEND COUNCIL NOVEMBER 14th.
