He also served on the Executive Committee for a number of years. His hobbies are mainly in the newspaper business, but Kennedy singled out his 20 years as ' a volunteer firefighter as a hobby as well as an opportunity to serve his community. "It's a change of pace for me but I still enjoy meeting my newspaper colleagues from across the country,"he said. One of the goals of the newly elected president is to keep the lines of com- munication open between member papers and the CCNA office.

Scores with audience Biyth'sFire On Icy By Jim Fitzgerald The problem with Fire On Ice Blyth Summer Festival's newest offering, is that the title tends to turn off potential audience mem- bers, particularly the female side before they really get a chance to see it. Most ladies assume they already get enough jock talk and sports on the TV, what with the constant battering off baseball, hockey, football that now fills the airwaves 12 months, so why should they pay good money to sit through another two hours of it? But judging by the positive reaction of many women at the play last week, one would be wrong to prejudge it. The fast -paced historical musical about the life of Montreal Canadian superstar Howie Morenz is highly en- tertaining, and even if you're ,totally unimpressed by the state of professional sports today, Fire on Ice will still prove enjoyable, as well as offering some insights into the strange world of jocks. Collectively created by the, company from an original script written by Blyth playwright Keith Roulston, the play sketches the life of hockey legend Morel -1z from his humble beginnings in Mitchell, to his "hacker" days in Stratford, to his Dublin, Arnies Star Queen fourth and JA Delight fifth. There will be races again this Thursday, August 13 at Goderich Raceway with post -lime at 7:45 p.m. The featured event will be the $2500 Ron Feagan Memorial pace.

Filled with hilarious songs, humorous anecdotes, and sprinkled with just enough serious scenes to make it believable, Fire on Ice is for the whole family. An ab- solutely outstanding set designed by Pat Flood gives one the feeling of and ice rink, and is a perfect settirg for the acting of the six man cast, headed by Keith Thomas as Morenz. Thomas looks like he could easily skate alongside Guy ,afleur any day, and his back -up crew of William Dunlop, Graham McPher- son, Sam Robinson, John Roby and Frank Scott play a host of roles, ranging from a drunk has-been hockey player to Mafia chieftians. Well -directed by David Fox, who is no stranger to collectives, having been first involved with the birth of the famous Farm Slow in a Clinton barn 10 years ago, the production is lifted by the music of John Roby and even though there are only five preformances left, including August 13, 24,19, 20 (at2 pm) and 22, Fire on Ice is a must.
