Who is this mystery man, Gary
Gurbin? Well, up to last Wed-
. nesday, the day the paper was
published, the Sentinel scribe was
_, just as unaware as anyone.
The name "Gary Gurbin" found
its way into the Sentinel pages in
an ad in last week's paper
outlining a number of men in the
area where memberships might be
obtained to become eligible to vote
as a .member at the Huron-Bruce
Progressive Conservative nominat-
ing convention.
In "making up" the advertise-
ment; the name was spelled wrong
and so a correction was made, and,
as is the normal practice, the
correction 'waS pasted \over top of
the mistake.
In the process of photographing
the pages, the small piece of paper,
with the name "Gary Gurbin"
became separated from the original
ad and stuck itself on the camera
mechanism. •

The result was a •``comedy of
errors" which Produced' a - lot of
laughs and certainly one red-faced
publisher.
What ,happened is that every
time stibsequent pages were photo,
graphed in completing the paper,
this mystery name ,found its way
into the finished product, and in
the most unusual places.
We had Gary Gurbin doing just
about everything. He was working
with Max Riegling and requesting
custom combining and swathing;
he was providing the music for the
Stewart reception at Auburn; he
was listed as the chief officer in an
ad for the Ministry of Environment;
ahead of course of the minister and
deputy minister.
To really cap it off his name was
listed in a Goderich florist ad as
providing "free delivery to Mac-
Kenzie Funeral Home . in Luck-
now". Gary Gurbin is a medical
doctor who resides in Kincardine.
"Sorry Gary"., is about all we
can say.
All of Ainberley Beach, south of
the Pointe Clark lighthouse, was
littered with tree trunks, limbs and
branches and assorted debris as' a
result of the torrential rain storm,
accompanied ' by thunder and
lightning, that hit the area Satur-
day night. The flooding caused by
the storm washed trees and stumps
from the swollen water of Eighteen
Mile and LuCknow River into Lake
Huron along the Ashfield Township
shore. As well, there was a
,considerable wash off the shoreline
clay banks in the Kintail area.
Cottagers awoke Sunday morn-
ing to view the storm-tossed waters
and its burden of debris, which was
being washed ashore the entire
