misquoted
Grand Bend candidate for

the weekend that she was
misquoted in the Times -
Advocate last week.
The story about the can-
didates meeting- stated that
she said Ridge Pine Park Inc.
should pay less for sewer
costs.
Morenz, on the weekend,
stated that she actually said
that Ridge Pine Park Inc.
were the ones who felt they
should pay a lesser charge
because there' is no
.maintenance cost tothe
village. '
"I don't intend to pay for so-
meone else's sewers and it's
going to the OMB,'" she said.

travelling show and slides to
demonstrate that snakes are
not as frightening as - most
persons believe. Of the 19
types of snakes in Ontario he
said that only one, the
Mississauga Rattler would in-
flict a poisonous bite.
He had two snakes found
locally, a garter snake and a
fox snake. He said that most
snakes found in the area are
very useful, that they might
strike, if cornered, but the
bites would not be harmful.
He said the snakes are pro-
bably more afraid than per-
sons encountering -them.
The largest snake he show-
ed was a Common Boa, about
12 feet long. He took each
snake through the audience
for the children to see at close
range and to touch.

Bob Shattio and .Deputy -
Reeve Harald Green . Coun-
cillors elected are Dennis
Snider, Murray Des Jardins
and Bruce Woodley.
The deciaill was made by
577 -voters, Monday. It was a
record vote for the village.
It was also considered to be
vvy m 8 local deci-
sion. Considering the number
of eligible . voters .with
residences in other centres,
the 577 represented about 75
percent of voters within the
resort -village limits, who are
full-time residents.
Des Jardins summed up the
feeling when he said, "I was
elected by Grand Bend and
that means something to me
personally."
In the race for Reeve. III
vote§ made the difference
between Sharen and
Bob Sharon
challenger Mae Morenz.
Sharen received 340 votes and
Morenz, 229.
Incumbent Deputy -Reeve
Green ended up with 81 votes
more than his nearest oppo-
nent for the post, Ralph
McKinnon. Ross Palframan
was third in that contest.
For the three Council seats,
incumbent Dennis Snider top-
ped the list with 390 votes.
Next was Des Jardins with
364 and then Bruce Woodley
with 333. Todd Desaulniers
and Angelo Maruca were the
unsuccessful candidates.
At a gathering held after
the poll closed at the Grand
Bend Legion Hall some
priorities for the future were
discussed by the successful
group. Among them were:
mending fences with Ridge
'Pine Park Inc. (about sewer"
charges) ; a serious look at
boundary adjustment; get-
ting the fire hall constructed;

contractors have been
notified. Chairman Tom
Lawson has obtained a set of
plans to be kept at his home
on Lakeshore Drive for the
use of local builders.
He said it was in the best in-
terest of the. community to
have a local contractor and
hoped that Public Works
Canada would be able to
award the contract locally.
The building will bel l by 11
metres (about 1200 square

washrooms, showers, radio
equipment and summer staff
for a variety of duties related
to the harbour. Being a
federal building, the facilities
will be completely.open to. the
public, Lawson said.
The committee has applied
for a Canadian Commmunity

period beginning in February.

It used to be that any old
Thing was good enough to
ear at Thedford arena. You
know, tattered hockey pants,
ripped sweaters with
numbers being held on by two
threads, scratched helmets,
well-worn gloves and mismat-
ched socks (one red, one
orange). But all that has
changed.
High fashion has hit. rec
hockey. It arrived in the form
of Cooperalls and it has
spread.
Take the Arkona A's.
Please.Sure I know that they
are three times Lambton-
Middlesex Rec League
Champs, and I guess they
have a certain status to main-
tain. But in the good old days,
those tattered sweaters,
baggy pants and mismatch-
ed„ holey socks worked fine.
Suddenly, the Afkona A's
are the best dressed team on
local ice. Cooperalls - in case
there's anyone out there who
hasn't been awed by this
latest hockey style - are the
designer jeans of the stick
swingers. Gone are the baggy
short pants, long footless
socks, garters and whatever
else they used to wear to hold
their socks up. Cooperalls are
ope piece long pants with
snug suspenders holding
them up. Inside the pants is
an unusual contraption that
looks rather like a cross bet-
ween a panty girdle and an
old-fashioned corset, only
stuffed with styrofoam pad-
ding. Strange get-up indeed.
And of course, the style
trends dictated that fashion
couldn't stop at new
citizen housing; continuing
cooperation with the local
Chamber of Commerce and
getting on with the job of run-
ning the 6600,000 a year
business on behalf of the
citizens of Grand Bend.
Maruca, whose second at-
tempt to gain a council seat
was a disappointment said he
had only one thing to say, "I
wish them well".
One sports announcer to
another: "The good thing
about sportscasting is, if you
run out of things to say, you
can always zoom in on the
game."

musings

Cooperalls. They simply had
to have the new sweaters to
go with them. The new
sweaters just couldn't be
stuffed in the hockey bags
along with all that old equip-
ment. They have to be hung
carefully on hangers after
every game.
From there it spread. A
new shiny black helmet was
purchased to replace that old
battered one, and new gloves
were added to the ensemble.
(Yes, I know the old gloves
didn't have any palms left in
them. You really needed new
ones.)
And get this - the whole
team has new baseball hats.
That's right, a hockey team
with new baseball caps.
The first night the new
Cooperalls came home, I was
given a close look at them. In
fact, I was,even encouraged
to try them on. I was suppos-
ed to be impressed with their
advantages over short pants,
their style, their comfort. But
how. did I know? I, had never
worn the regular pants.
In any case, I studied the
fabric, pinched the padding,
and complimented the team
on its stylishness.
But you know, these are a
good looking bunch of guys -
and they didn't need a new
wardrobe to make them look
good on ice. (But then, I'm
biased).
In fact, the sad truth is that
their performance has drop-
ped dramatically since they
donned their new outfits.
What is it guys? Afraid of
mussing up your shiny black
pants?
