Bikers raise money for charity
EXETER - Over 40 motorcyclists
took advantage of Sunday's warm
weather to take part in a ride to
raise money for retinitis pigmento-
sa, or RP, the leading cause of
blindness.
The program. Ride for Sight, has
attracted much attenton with rides
taking place right across Ontario.
Greg McAdams of Zurich is the co-
ordinator for this area, and says that
support is growing.
"We weren't sure how many to
expect for this one," said McAd-
ams. "But it's turned out pretty
good."
Motorcyclists from several clubs
and centres are working together by
collecting pledges and travelling
across the province with each
group carrying out a designated leg
of the journey.
Fifteen riders from the Brampton
Motorcycle Association set out for
Exeter Sunday morning, via Strat-
ford and Mitchell where they
picked up more supporters. Upon
reaching Exeter, the group had
grown to forty-four with three more
ready to join.
The co-ordinators exchange a vest
to be worn by each co-ordinator
and passed on at the next location.
Upon McAdams acceptance of the
vest, his task was to make the trek
south to Wallaceburg with his own
entourage.
Sean Blancher, co-ordinator for
Stratford, presented the vest to
McAdams, with the aid of Bramp-
ton co-ordinator Gerry Gernian.
Having completed his leg of the
journey, Blancher and the other
Stratford cyclists returned home but
German was mon than happy to
continue the journey.
"It's great just to be out here,"
said German. "And weer really
helping a good cause."
RP is a group of genetic eye dis-
eases which causes the retina to de-
generate, leading to afflictions such
as tunnel vision and eventual blind-
ness. There is presently no known
cause and no known cure.
.From Wallaceburg the vest will
continue to Windsor on Tuesday,
with stops in London and St.
Thomas on the return trip to the To-
ronto area.
Ministers unite to tackle spiritual Issues
DASHWOOD - Thursday morn-
ing, a gawp of people who usually
represent different aspects of Chris-
tian faith on Sundays, were togeth-
er at Community Living South Hu-
ron to join forces to promote
spiritual issues.
The South Huron Ministerial is a
group of 30 ministers who regular-
ly meet to discuss such matters, and
Thursday's meeting was aimed spe-
cifically at antegcating the handi-
capped into local congregations.
Pastor Stephen Alles from the
Zurich Lutheran Church acknowl=
edged that the handicapped do face
barriers in joining congregations.
"Right now their spntual needs
are not being met adequately, or at
least not as well as they could be,"
said Albs, adding that congrega-
tions have a hard time understand-
ing and accepting their needs and
they do face prejudice.
Education about the handicapped
will help, explained Alles.
"Focusing on these s
straights is also a key," agreed
Pas-
tor Jeannie Udall of Centralia Unit-
ed Church.
Nearly all the ministers present at
the ministerial meeting ' agreed to
begin welcoming guest speakers to
their congregations to address the
issue.
The issue of the spiritual needs of
the handicapped is only of the cur-
renttu projects of the ministerial
ere 's always something we're
tackling," said Alles of the Monthly
• s.
Other issues under study include
the search for a new chaplain for
the South Huron Hospital, the pos-
sible creation of a food bank, the
spiritual needs of the mint work-
ers in the summer months, religion
in schools, and Sunday shopping.
"It [the ministerial] is also strong
support for one another," said
Udall, adding that the meetings are
a good rest from the pressures of
the clergy
"We do.everythirtg in great spirit.
There's no division," said Alles,
who said that the meetings are also
used to help foster understanding
about the similarities of the various
Christian denominations, rattier
than their differences.
Udall also pointed out that such
ministerials can also become effec-
tive lobby groups against policies
of government agencies that often
take their cues from politicians or
business.
"It's important to hear from the
clergy," said Udall, describing the
group as a "united voice".

AILSA CRAIG - There won't be
any gongs waiting in the wings for
p�ticiits m Ailsa Craig's Gala
Days Talent Show, one of many en-
tertainment features kicking off the
weekend of fun, July 19-21.
But there will be appreciative
friends and neighbours and perhaps
even a few scouts from major lefe
vision networks, clearly starved for
new talent.
The Ailsa Craig Gala Days Com-
mittee, aware that the region ,
abounds in unique talents, requires
auditions to time and tailor the Gala
Days show. Auditions will be held
at Ailsa Cntig Town Hall on Tues-
day, June 11, between 7 and 9 p.m.
and on Tuesday, June 18, between
7and9p.m.
The committee invites any and all
to the auditions, with or without
special talents. Whether you can
warble the aria from Das Liebe-
suerbot, crack a butternut without
chipping the meat, or can bring the
players for a skit or comedy rou-
tine, you're invited to come and do
your thing. • The best acts will be
booked for the Gala Days Talent
Show, Friday, July 19.
A sound system will be provided
at•the auditions, but performers re-
quiring props or accompaniment
are requested to bring what they
need.
For additional information,
please contact Sandy Allemeexsch
