Repairs less
WINGHAM - The cost of emergency
repairs to the Howson Dam in Wingham will
be substantially lower than expected.
The contract for grouting a cavity under
the dam and building a cutoff wall to stop
undermining was awarded last week to
McLean -Taylor Construction of St. Marys
for $46,250.
Although a number of extras being added
to the contract may push the final price
upward to about $55,000, the basic bid is well
below both the original estimate of $80,000
and a revised estimate of $60,000.
Round
'n About
with Martha
Seems I'm always collecting things -
especially things I might use in a painting.
In Florida I met several fine artists and I
noticed .their filing cabinets were pretty
crowded. So I have been trying to sort out
some of my stuff -- like clouds, sun and
water - all of which are pretty hard to paint
because they move so fast.
One year we visited friends from Sarnia
who spend their winters in Fort Meyers,
Florida. They are about 50 miles south of us
when in Florida. Christine and I walked
around their Park and I noticed a fine look-
ing tree I had never seen before. Under it
were pieces -- hard as wood - e6pt.ic• 1 in
shape - that puzzled me until I found then
to be from the seed pods of that tree. Moss
fascinating seed pods I'd ever seen. Sort o
like a walnut pod but longer. There were sc
of these elongated pieces of dark red worm
that covered the seeds that fly - lookea
almost like a feather carrying the seed a
the end of the shaft. The WOOD - ym
couldn't dent with a hammer and couldn'
saw through until the pieces were very dry.
I had been looking at some photos am
came upoh one taken that day, of me - anc
that brought back the memory of tht
fascinating seed pods.
So you see, you should see a "memory'
along with your photographs. We later - or
that same visit - went to the Thomas A
Edison workshop and home - or homes -
since there was a small home there where
Henry Ford stayed when he visited the
Edisons. Every year Fort Meyers has a
"Festival of Light" one weekend -
celebrating the Edison wonders we now take
for granted. We never ever think about
when light was INVENTED - that was just
a story we heard or read somewhere But if
it is ever possible for you to be in Fort
Meyers, you MUST go to the Edison
buildings. Every day of our lives we use
something Edison invented!
We like Fort Meyers - there are many
things to see there. We have also been to
Naples - which is about a hundred miles
south of us - where we saw their Swamp -
buggy Races several times and enjoyed this
unusual feature on the edge of the
Everglades.
Here is an item I've had tucked awav -
among OTHER things:
Remember when HIPPIE meant big in the
hips and a TRIP involved travel in cars,
planes and ships?
When POT was a vessel for cooking things in
and HOOKED was what Grandmothers rug
might have been?
FIX was a verb that meant mend or repair
and BE -IN meant simply existing
somewhere?
When NEAT meant well -organized, tidy and
clean and GRASS was a ground cover, nor-
mally green?
When FUZZ was a substance that's fluffy
like lint, and BREAD camp from bakeries
and not from the mint?
When SQUARE meant a 90 degree angled
form and COOL was a temperature not quite
warm?
When WAY OUT meant distant and far, far
away, and a man couldn't sue you for calling
him GAY?
When DIG meant a shovel and spade in the
dirt and PUT ON was what you would do"
with a shirt? f
Words once so -set -231111e, sober and serious
are making the freak scene like
PSYCHEDELIRIOUS!
It's groovy, man, groovy but English it's not
- me thinks that the language has gone
straight to POT.
Jane Goodwell made all this up - and I real-
ly DIG her!
So do have a care, keep away from this ROT
or you'll find you're a junky and going to
POT.
Forgive me.
Love, Martha.
