Celebration '88 at Hensall This time around, no snow hampred Hensall's efforts to recognize contributors to the village's amateur atfiletics with the presentation of Celebra- tion elebration '88 awards at the town hall Friday evening. Last week's plans to make the presentations were scuttled due to a snowbound. Highway 4. A small crowd packed themselves into the council chambers to bask in the glow of mini Olympic torches and to see fellow citizens presented with medals by Huron -Bruce MP Murray Cardiff and reeve Jim Robinson. Cardiff presented the medal for outstanding coach to Bob Campbell in recognition of coaching the Hensall Tyke team for the past four -and -one-half years. Jim Dickins received the medal for outstanding_ male athlete. Dickens is captain for both the South Huron District High School and the Exeter Midget hockey teams, and also has a long involvement in. motocross racing, in which he has won 53 trophies. Andrew Imanse was on hand to accept the sponsor's medal on behalf of General Coach. The company has been described as a "significant sponsor" of Hensall's Minor Hockey Association and Minor Ball organizations. The community volunteer's medal went to Marg Clarke, who was president of the Minor Ball Associa- tion for six years and coached its teams for nine years. She is presently involved with Hensall's Beavers and Scouts. Certificates for contribution to the community went to Les Gardner, the Kinsmen Club of Hensall, the Hensall Figure Skating Club, Harold Knight, and Janis. Bisback. Cardiff, flanked by Olympic mascots Heidi and Howdy, spoke briefly about his pleasure at being able to recognize the contributions of these people and how he regretted this opportunity would not return next year. After the torches were extinguished, the crowd lin- gered to congratulate the recipients, while sampling the cake decorated for the occasion and sipping free cans of the official soft drink of the Winter Olympic Games.
