The Goderich Signal-Star, 1985-05-01, Page 274`Pla-a-a-y Ball" Goderich Township
says during summer celebrations
QOD)RJI TOWNSHIP - The time of the
y'ea1' olid the springelike weather have reviv-
.d the hiterest in baseball for another
•.,Reason,. whether it is.fastball, slow pitch or
T -ball, fn Goderich Township registration
- for the various teams has taken place and
the teams and schedules are being arrang-
ed. Rural areas seem to draw a great deal of
their residents into this sport over the sum-
mer.
The 1-5-0 committee was aware of this
sporting interest and will hold ball games
every night during their sesquicentennial
celebrations, from July 15 - 19. All games
Will oe LaeAu at the Township Ball Park at the
edge of Hohnesville with two games at 7:30
and another game under the lights at 9:00.
On Monday night Ray Bush and -'pedes
Johnston will organize slow pitch games for
organizations and clubs in the area. Tues-
day will see Township centers, such as
Porter's Hill or the V.L.A. playing with
Walter Bell and Al Johnston doing the
organizing. On Wednesday neighbourhood
teams will play with Claire Cox and Darrell
Abbott in charge. These teams can be ar-
ranged by a group of neighbours within the
township. Thursday will be the ladies night
to play with Peggy Parks arranging the
game. Friday has been reserved for fast
ball. Susan Bell is in charge of the ladies fast
ball and a( 9:00 an intertownship game has
been, planned between Tuckersmith and
Goderich Township with Bill Black helping
with the organization.
People wishing to take part in any of the
games should contact the person in charge.
With two months left before the games
everyone should be in top form' for ex-
hibiting their enthusiasm, sportsmanship
and perhaps ball playing skills. Do plan to
be there to hear them say, "Pl-a-a-y Ball."
Women Today present Side Effects
BLYTH - A nurse's career is ruined by her
abuse of over-the-counter and prescription
drugs, leading, her to attempt suicide. A
mother of six, with an unmpreciative and
sometimes violent hust5and, is offered
medication to handle her frustration with
her life.
Two pharmaceutical company executives
look for a new disease so they can promote
drugs to cure It. They also plot to send
shipments of drugs banned in the US to
Brazil through Guatemala, because Brazil's
laws for-bid'importation of products banned
in the "country of origin."
A poor Third World, woman, sells her
children's only source of high protein eggs:
her chicken. It will enable her to buy some
of the useless and perhaps dangerous
preparations her doctor has prescribed,
such as cough syrup, tonics and "growth
hormones" (anabplic steroids) which can
have disastrous side effects in children, but
which drug companies are promoting in the
Third World as a "cure" for malnutrition.
These real-life stories are among the in-
terwoven tales of women's lives portrayed
in the moving, hilarious, dramatic,
satirical, educational and always entertain-
ing play Side Effects, produced by The
Great Canadian Theatre Company of Ot-
tawa, and Women's Health Interaction, an
Ottawa -based coalition. It was previewed at
a public showing at the Canadian Health
Coalition conference in Ottawa on
November 24.
Side Effects is being brought to the area
oy women L oaay .
The production will t staged at the Blyth
Memorial Hall on Tues y, May 7 at 8 -p.m.
The cleverly written script, with its fre-
quent changes in temp, setting and style,
holds the audience's attention. Continuity is
provided by several storylines running
through the one -and -a -half hour play.
Five professional actresses play multiple
roles and produce a tapestry of emotions in
the audience: indignation, sympathy, hilari-
ty, anger - while -conveying a sense of the
importance of the lives of the women por-
trayed
Quite a lot of information is put across:
the extent of drug use among Canadian
women and how it is promoted by drug com-
panies through doctors, often with' the
passive. compliance of us, the patients, as
"doctor knows best"; information on many
drugs such as valium and D.E.S.; some of
the exploitative marketing practices of drug
companies in Third World countries, and
how people there are affected by them; a -
glimpse of the traditional health care system
which has been displaced by the modern,
pharmaceutical -dependent practice of
medicine; - and especially, that we as in-
dividuals are not alone in our experience
with the medical establishment.
Overall reactions from the well-informed
audience was highly favorable. As the play
is still not in its final form, the audience was
asked afterwards to comment on where it
worked well and where, itould be improv-
ed. Our comments were taken very serious-
ly byy the organizers.
Cubs, beavers were active
during Month. of April
4th - CUBS
4th Goderich Cub Pack "A" has. had a
busy month including an Easter party
April 2. The pack had a hard-boiled- egg
race, raffled tickets for fie chocolate bun-
nies, a jelly -bean guessing contest and
made lilies to take home for parents. The
next week a friend was invited to join us
for a night of films. On April 16, Corey Bud-
den. Jason Cook and.Chris Marchi finished'
their star work and were happy to receive
the Tawny Star. On April 23, the Pack went
to Sunset Park to rake the grass, com-
pleting the requirement for a community
project. On April 30, the group is going
bowling and on May 4, weather permitting,
fishing at Benmiller.
3rd - CUBS
Now that the warmer weather is arriv-
ing, the boys are getting anxious get out-
doors; however, the nights are still not
long enough so they have been kept busy
indoors with a lesson on first aid. Also this
month, one of the leaders, Gary McPhee,
brought in his scuba diving equipment and
the Cubs found t ' very interesting. The
meeting before Fas the Cubs had an
Easter party'and had fun playing g..waacs,
winning prizes and everyone brought
treats. Brad Bell, Ryan Pollock and An-
drew Scott gave us a demonstration on
break dancing. The boys have been prac-
tising their knots as the District Camp is
fast approaching. Last week the boys final:
ly got outside for a game of baseball. On
Apr. 24 the Cubs are going swimming at
Vanastra and will be planning fir camp in
the next few weeks.
3rd - BEAVERS
The Beavers started their spring session
with a puppet show put on by Marion
Doucette from the Goderich Public
Library., The following week she returned
to help the Beavers make their own pup-
pets. At the Easter meeting, the colony
had a craft and egg hunt. On April 10, the
Beavers received their spring tails and
last week, held a cartoon night with pop-
corn.
Last week was Volunteer Week and tho'
a bit -late, we wild like to thank all the
leaders, group -committee members and
parents without whose help Scouting in the
Goderich area would not be possible. A big
thank you:

"It is also important to note that this is not
a one time allocation but an ongoing in-
crease to the base funding of the Council. We
are concerned here, with long term solu-
tions, " she said.
The need for extra funding had become
more pressing in recent years with the
growth in the number, size and quality of
arts groups in Ontario. •
"I am confident that these iii Tuiids waif- —.—
go a long way towards helping groups in
many communities to stabilize their finan-
cial situations and to minimize ticket price
increases. This in turn Will e p maintain
and enlarge their audiences and private fun-
draising potential," added Ms. F'ish. -
