Carnival
celebration
for Grand
Bend parish
A magician and a
"Lizard Lady" were
part of the entertain-
ment."
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
