Jabberwock and Sons Full Theatre Company of Toronto, combines dance, puppets, storytelling, music and mime in a way that captivates a child's attention for the duration of the act. The three performers put on four dif- ferent performances, each lasting ap- proximately 50 minutes. The one thy did on Wednesday for the Goderich children was entitled, Cart Before the Horse. In ten episodes the group acted out the history of transportation, from chariots and trains to subways and rockets. The other performances are called A Child's Christmas in Whales which recreates the fun and fantasy of Christ- mas; Blue Magic which brings tales from the sky and the water; and the Storytelling Show which involves traditional tales. Creativity goes into planning How do you keep the children in the town occupied during the summer vacation? Not an easy question to answer, but that was what three Goderich girls were faced with when they took on the job of organizing special summer events. Cathy Britnell, Tracey Wilson and Susan Thompson have had the task of inventing, and carrying out, activities for the children who range from ages six through 12. Once the girls had been hired by the Recreation Department, they were to attend a leadership camp for a two day period. During these two days they discussed new games, games for rainy days and how to discipline the children. The actual planning of the summer events was done during the last two weeks in June, and since there was no grant available to help fund the activities, the girls had to be very creative. "Our job was to provide a fun -filled summer for the children," commented Thompson. This years ''fun -filled summer" con- sisted of record breaking day, roller- skating, a bicycle rodeo, a visit to the police station, a trip to the Toronto Blue Jays' game, a trip to the Toronto Zoo, and of course, the up -coming penny carnival. "We try to think -up new games, but we keep some of the older ones like the penny carnival. That has been going on for about 20 years," explained Britnell. Since the girls didn't receive a grant to help them this summer, they have had to go to the local merchants and ask for prizes for games. Trying to come up with an idea for every day of the week wasn't easy, but they feel they have had a better turn out this summer then they did last summer. "This summer has been very good, probably because the weather has been nice," added Thompson. With the summer special activities ending on Friday, the girls will have to get ready to pursue their educational am- bitions, and for Britnell that means returning to Conestoga College for her second year of Early Childhood Education. For Thompson it means entering Fan- shawe College to take a course in Medical Laboratory Technology, and for Wilson it means getting her grade twelve sib she can enter college to study Early Childhood Education. If your child has had a "fun -filled summer" doing activities sponsored by the recreation department, It is because of the hard work these girls have put into organizing the events. On August 20 the Maitland Valley Moto - Cross Club, along with Maaskant Racing, will hold a mote -cross race four kilometers north of Holmesville. The race will be held on a track laid out on the farm of John and Hugo Maaskant. The track is a challenging combination of hills, jumps, and twisting corners and will provide lots of exciting racing action. The event will be sanctioned by the Canadian Motorcycle Association and will attract riders from all over Ontario. Some local riders present will be; Steven Luyka of Dorchester, the 1983 senior 125 National Champion; Sean Van Dongen of Clinton, Chuck Collins of Varna, Jim Dickens of Hensel and John, Hugo, Charles and Michael Maaskant of Clinton. The classes involved will be schoolboy, junior, senior and expert. Racing will begin at 11 a.m. and will go rain or shine. +++ A sudden death game was played on August 8 between Goderich Elevators and Blyth Baintoneers as the two teams were tied at the end of regular season play in the Huron Ladies' Softball League. The Elevators won after a close game that resulted in a 4-3 score, clinching first place. Playoffs for Elevator's division of the league start Thursday at 6:30 p.m. at the GDCI diamond. The Elevators were also victorious at the Bayfield Slowpitch Tournament this past weekend. They defeated teams from Dublin, London, and in the final game, downed Bayfield Babes by a score of 13-4. +++ Due to inclement weather the penny carnival which was to be held last Thur- sday was cancelled. The children were invited to go roller-skating at the arena instead. If weather is permitting, the penny carnival will be held this Thursday 'at Judith Gooderham Park.
