Optimist Car Wash Raises Funds for Club Activities llalre The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville. Seotember 13.1989 9 Hunting Season | jVewiLoofc/or .S/iomey's To Open in Sept. Members of the Bowmanville Optimist Club, plus a few helpers, were kept busy on Saturday washing cars at the Bank of Montreal parking lot. Things slowed a little when a bit of rain fell, but it cleared quickly and more customers drove in, including this Cadillac. Their next wash is slated for Saturday, Sept. 23rd, with the Rotary Club holding theirs in between .on Sept 16 from 9 to 4:30 at Miracle Food Mart parking lot. Hobnobbing with Harvey Malcolm Ode to Nikki Skinny Dipping It's so quiet in the country country or that's what most urban urban people believe. The peace and serenity of our humble domicile came to life with an explosive violence in mid week in a most unusual form. ' On Thursday around 2:45 a.m. the customary serenity of our quiet rural home was broken with a bovine invasion invasion when they crashed the barriers of their former enclosure enclosure and decided to go for a bit of a romp. We can just imagine one young heifer saying to another, "let's go up to the Malcolm pool for a skinny dip. They're probably all asleep including that Doberman Doberman "Nikki." Anyhow, whatever transpired, transpired, our head mistress nudged us gently (if you can call being jabbed in the ribs with a sharp elbow as nudging,) nudging,) to wake up, that there was something strange going going on in the immediate vicinity. vicinity. Of course in typical husbandly fashion, we suggested suggested it was probably the sound of distant thunder. We were jolted finally from our somnolent reveries when she claimed she heard a giant splash and we'd better better get our tush in gear and find out what caused it. Did you ever try to find the appropriate articles of clothing in total darkness where you dropped them the night before and put your feet in the correct pantlegs while still half asleep? Finally, this accomplished, accomplished, we head for the door and turn on the yard light which reveals a number of shadowy figures twixt the house and the pool. Finally, the little woman finds the pool light switch which reveals reveals a small herd of yearlings yearlings poised at pool's edge. We give out our customary customary "Call of the Jungle" which is supposed to strike fear and trembling into every every living soul living or dead within naif a mile (grandchildren (grandchildren excepted). And what do you know, it worked. Those bovines took off with tails in the air like bats out of Hades for the Broad Road - (sorry it's just been renamed oy person or persons persons unknown as the Yelver- ton Road, according to the new sign at Yelverton.) At the same time we note that the pool blanket which ■normally lies flat on the water, water, looks like it had been struck by a tornadeo - all crumpled and bunched up in the pool. Which leads us to jump to the obvious conclusion conclusion that one of the beasties had gone for an early morning morning dip. We're not stupid you know, if we get the facts we can figure out that 2+2=3. The next obvious question question was, was the bovine still in the pool under the solar solar blanket. With fear and trepidation we yanks off the cover, meanwhile smearing our hands with some of that brown smelly stuff that could have been some animal's animal's breakfast day before yesterday. That heifer was really badly scared me- .. thinks. It finally became apparent apparent that the "Big Dipper" who had gone in had also managed to make her escape escape by taking a gigantic leap out from the shallow end which makes that "giant step for man" that the astronaut astronaut made on the moon, pale in comparison to hers. Well, they say that all's well that ends well - or so we hope. Sure, the solar blanket has to be replaced and there are hoof prints on the vinyl bottom which will You are invited to Ontario Hydro's Darlington Nuclear Generating Station OPEN HOUSE Sunday, September 17,1989 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Everyone is welcome.
