People in Profile: Sandi's just good spat

Feminists and supporters of the
Women's Liberation Movement would
probably take Sandi Fremlin into their
fold with little problem. Sandi's work
and interests fall into a particularly
male dominated world, but when asked
if she's liberated, she's more likely to

laugh and tell you she's never really
thought about it.
"I could take it or leave it," Sandi
admitted, "I do -what I want to do and if
people don't like it that's too bad."
Sandi has been referred to as a jock
by unaware strangers, but by looking
and talking to this 23 -year-old, it can be
easily seen that she is completely
feminine.
Although Sandi enjoys sewing, her
other hobbies and her work differ from
most women. Sandi is an excellent
hockey player, is a member of a
championship fastball team and works
as an ambulance assistant and driver.
Sandi's lifestyle is not a purposeful
lunge at men, nor is she consciously
battling for equal rights.
She decided to study ambulance and
emergency care at Fanshawe College
in Londbn only because she was in-
terested in medicine but didn't par-
ticularly want to become a nurse. Out
of the 22\ students in Sandi's class, six
were female, the year before only one
girl took the course.
In Sandi's work at Westlake
Ambulance in Zurich, she's not an
isolated minority on the ambulance
crew either, as another women, a
registered nurse also works in the one -
vehicle unit.
Sandi has been working since Sep-
tember and as an ambulance assistant,
she usually takes of the patient being
transported. Her job also includes
equipment checks and vehicle main-
tenance.
The ambulance makes about two
calls a day, usually taking patients to
hospitals in London. Fortunately, Sandi
hasn't seen any horrible cases, yet.
Shift work may interfer with Sandi's
other major interest but she sheepishly
admitted that she would probably,quit
her job to play baseball.
Sandi is also a top batter and out-
fielder ''\on the Ontario championship

Many words evoke different
feelings or responses. Like a
Freudian quiz the mere mention of
certain words .or names can conjure
up an instant association with
another thought.
For most people, the word winter
brings to mind gruelling thoughts of
cold, blizzards, isolation and the
unforgettable - getting stuck. It's
doubtful that the name Idi Amin Gap
be associated With any good,,
thoughts whereas the word baby can
usually bring to mind some pleasant
• memory.
Some words can bring out a
variety of responses, think about
government, or
Margaret garet

,
how about beef or even the press.
Did something come to mind?
I won't tell you what I think of
those words, particularly the press,
but one word that I often like to think
about is the simple two syllabled
noun familiar to most people at one
time or another: Grandmother.
Grandmother, what a nice word, along way off, for the. world just

ladies team, the Milverton Suns.
"A lot of people don't realize the
calibre that we're playing. They hear
that it's ladies softball and they don't
get so excited," she explained.
The record shows that the team has
won the Ontario trophy in the
Provincial Women's Softball
Association for the past two -year. Two
years ago, they came fourth in the
national championships, and last year
they were the second best team in
Canada.
"We're getting closer to the top every
year," Sandi enthused.
As well as team trophies, the
Fremlin house on Maple street is filled
with awards that Sandi has taken.
Along with hockey and broomball
awards, Sandi took the award as the
boning champ at the Ontario tour-
nament in 1976 with an average of .560
and in 1977 she had an average of .640 to
take the trophy again.

was crumbling. However, topping the
list was the need for a consultant to
study the expansion of the water works
system "to tell you where you are going
for the next 20 years." He said. "At
present we are just patching up." He
said in the future a storage tank will be
needed for a water supply.
Reeve Ervin Siliery said, "I feel the
reserve fund should be for capital
works, not maintenance."
No decision was reached at the
meeting but council will consider it.
Mr. Bell suggested the ministry of
the environment could come up with •
draft terms of reference for the con-
sultant to do the study on future
growth.
for batting," she modestly explained.
Along with the game itself, tl4e
travelling involved is an extra bonus.
The Milverton Suns senior team has
travelled to Arizona, New York,
Regina and this year will go to San
Francisco to play other ladies' teams
As a member of the junior team Sandi
also traveled to pennsylvania and Ohio.
"Sometimes we don't do toot much
sightseeing, we play so much ball, but
you wouldn't have to twist my arm to
get me bock to a lot of those places,"
Sandi said.
The busy schedule and the travelling
just fits into Sandi's lifestyle. She's not
content to sit at home, but prefers to be
outdoors, even if it is just to go for -a
walk.
Despite her tight schedule with work,
ball practices and some 30 regular
games to play, ,she's also helped to
coach girls' soccer in Clinton and still
hopes that the girls' hockey team .can
be formed again.
Sandi hopes to coach soccer again
this year despite the fact that the girls
are more interesting in "brushing their
hair or looking at boys."
Sandi fells that the female is inferior
to the male, physically and doesn't
think that girls could play along side
boys in professional sports.
This' may be so, but this difference
and the discrimination against women,
playing a traditional men's game has
little effect on Sandi, She's still one of
the best In her field
graced with two grandmothers who
both are very special ladies:
Both, who have seen the good and
baa times, are modern, fun loving
women who never cease to amaze
me. They both have given freely to
their sometimes monstrous gran-
dchildren and I can't recall hearing
a harsh word from either of them.
After all, grandmothers aren't

grandmothers fit that bill.
Cynical sociologists foresee the
deterioration of the family, par-
ticularly the extended family which
includes aunts, uncle, grandfathers
and grandmothers. Hopefully, that
future, if it does become a reality, is
