ed at a meeting last Thursday of the
harbour cornmittee. The hours will

Sunday until then. harbourmaster
Dave Gill will have a final report for
the next meeting.
Anyone wishing to fuel up or pump

Correspondence was received from
The Thirsty Fox owners, Marilyn and
Kevin Snook, regarding their pro:
posal. They would like to extend their
docks to the maximum that the river
frontage will allow. This measures
about 300 feet. It was moved by Den-
nis Snider and seconded by Bruce
Woodley that the GB Harbour Com-
mittee accept the proposal of Snooks
to construct 300' of dock adjacent to
the Thirsty Fox property. This is sub-
ject to reapplication for a dock con-
struction permit if changes are made,
and recognizing parking re-
quirements of one space per boat
docked. The approval of the Coast
Guard and the Ausabie-Bayfield Con-
servation Authority are also required.
It was learned that the harbour
committee should be able to spend
about $15,000.00 on dock repairs this
year. This will be a great endeavor as
many docks are in very bad shape.
Russ Lingard was in contact with
Brian Riggs of DPW, and reported
that repairs will be started by October
15 at the south basin.
The committee found out that no
payment was received to date from
the Laughton docks. It was moved
that the committee refuse dockage to
Mr. Laughton next year t 1987) under
the agreement.
Harbour had an in -camera session
for fifteen minutes and adjourned the
short meeting at 9:01 p.m.

Village of Grand Bend
Grand Bend Institute was held in the
U.C. Sunday school rooms with presi-
dent, Millie Desjardine in charge. The
roll call to name one of the counti'.s
of Ontario was answered by 20
members, 4-H members, and their
mothers. Also present at this gather-
ing was the Huron County Dairy
Princess and her mother.
Did You Know? was given.. by
Loreen Gill, a 4-11 leader, who inform-
ed the group about the next club - Milk
Makes It! She told them that physical
activity and exercise are good to help
prevent the disease, Osteoporosis,
particularly common in women past
40 years old. A good supply of calcium
in diets is also essential.
Catherine Junker, public relations
officer, introduced the guest speaker,
Angela Nethery, the newly chosen
Dairy Princess for Huron County.
Angela is a grade 13 student at the
Wingham high school and lives on a
farm near Brussels. She has com-
pleted five 4-11 projects. The impor-
tance of milk and dairy products in
the diet was explained and she nam-
ed several kinds of cheese. Some of
these were Havarti from Denmark,
Brie from France, Feta from Greece,
and Gouda from Holland. Everyone
was invited to sample these cheeses,
and a taste of mozarella cheese dip
and biscuits was also available.
Angela concluded by distributing
copies of the dip recipe.
After a hearty round of applause for
Nethery, Donna Lovie presented the
4-11 members with crests on behalf of
,the GB Institute.
Bonnie Ilotson was the winner of a
know your products contest.
For the social hour, hostesses were
Doris Bestard, Verna Lovie, Ruth
Hendrick and Eleanor Hayter. The
next meeting will be held at the same
place on October 23 at 7:30 p.m.
Fire ('all
The Grand Bend fire brigade was
summoned to a fire in the Klondyke
Trailer Park, south of the village,
Thursday. A trailer parked there was
destroyed by the fire and smoke.
Firemen kept the blaze confined to
the one unit.
Slo-Pitch Finished
It was a hard act to follow the GB
Grizzlies, who won their series of slo-
pitch in four games. The GB Growlers
came away with'the "B" trophy last
week, beating out last place
Finnigans.
In this fifth game, Growlers first -
base whiz, Cam Ilaist, kept on his
defensive best. Bob Ford was the big
hitter in the 10-1 win. Filrnigans lone
run was a homer slammed out by Joe
Falsetti. Umpire Frank Allister did a
great job in all the slo-pitch games,
having an easier time in these last
matches of the consolation round.
Thanks a lot, Frankie!!

games, and to make recommenda-
tions. New officers will be elected for
1986-87. The 1986-87 games will be
planned, and further financial recom-
mendations made. The first Ontario
Provincial Games for Seniors were
held in Kitchener, so the whole idea
is quite new and in the planning
stages as yet.
The executive is looking at District
Games to be held each year, with 1987
planned for Stratford. Provincial
games would be held every other
year, and National Senior Games are
still in discussion for 1989. The key to
any of these games for senior citizens
is participation, not winning.
Their objective is to increase the
number of people 55 years and older
in the three counties to become in-
volved with these games, so they may
have fun, fellowship, and a fuller,
more energetic lifestyle through par-
ticipation. Each hamlet, village, and
town in the local districts can become
involved in the Senior Games. Win-
ners of the local community games
can then advance to District level
games.
Over 390 participated in the 1986
games at Dorchester, and the 1987
games are slated for Seaforth. What
sort of games are we talking about?
On the District/Provincial level, the
competitive games include golf, shuf-
fleboard, swimming, carpet bowling,
five pin bowling, cribbage, euchre,•
contract bridge, horseshoes and
darts. In the Senior Games
demonstration category, there are
`snooker, lawn bowling, tennis, slow
pitch and badminton. Recommended
for national level competition are:
golf, table shuffleboard, swimming,
carpet bowling and some card games,
such as bridge or euchre. There are
even a few events in track and field
at this level: softball throw, long
jump, and relay races.
The provinces of British Columbia,
Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba,
Ontario, P.E.I. and the Yukon have
participated in the seminar to
organize Senior Games at the national
level. Representatives from the
federal government and the New
Horizons Program also attended the
meeting.
The New Horizons Program is a
government sponsored program to
assist senior citizen clubs and
organizations in obtaining equipment
and formulating game plans. Each
group would be allowed only two
grants to set up or administer their
programs.
How have our seniors done so far?
Out of 1,000 who participated in local
games 1986, a team of 32 attended the
Kitchener District games. Wilf
Barclay of St. Marys won a medal in
golf. The Mitchell team won a trophy
for the most points. The Tri -County
District is one of 33 in Ontario.
How's that for something to look
forward to in your "sunset years"? A
new set of Olympics! Just watch - a
few years from now, you can run that
mythical 65 -year old Swede in our
games, and we Canadians will eat
him for breakfast!
C'WL Meeting
The Catholic Women's League of
Immaculate Heart of Mary Church
held their monthly meeting at the
Alhambra hall with 21 rnembers and
five guests attending. The evening
began with a guest speaker, Kathy
Gray, of Gray's Appliances, Parkhill.
She gave an informative
demonstration of microwave cooking,
with lots of helpful hints, techniques,
and new recipe suggestions. She
prepared an entire meal in the
microwave, including beverage and
dessert, and the results were delicious
as the CWL ladies sampled her
creations.
The business meeting was conven-
ed by president Thea Stokkermans.
The treasury showed a very healthy
balance after all the bake sales,
bazaar and quilt raffle this summer.
The CWL was invited to a Deanery
meeting on October 8, by the Mount
Carmel CWL, to be held at the
Dashwood Community Centre, from
9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Religious calendars will be supplied
for the parish this year by Harry Hoff-
man's Funeral Home. It was voted to
send the sum of $240.00 to St. Peter's
Seminary in London. Roberta Walker
