church proceeds will go to teen challenge canada admission is free at the end of the day each visitor will undoubtedly have hisher choice unfair as it may seem ive already made mine this of course is subject to change after seeing 698 others entries on display ending up in a dead heat for the blue ribbon award are two contrasting yet beautiful vehicles one a car and the other a truck the car owned by john and robin steckley of stouffville is a 1963 cor vette the truck owned by jim and sharon hord also of stouffville is a 1956 ford john steckley was only 19 when he spotted the car of his dreams at a corvette shop near gormley it was love at first sight he recalls i wanted some thing that would last all my a lifetime that was 33 years ago this amazing piece of polished fibreglass is unique due to the fact corvettes were only built with split rear windows in 1963 the price tag for john was 5000 strange as it may seem jim hords f100 pickup is also a cut above the com petition because of its rear window design but unlike the corvettes splitsections it has a wraparound or a big window as jim calls it it also boasts a wraparound windshield saw truck on internet jim saw the truck adver tised on the internet he drove to cleveland ohio and closed the deal he then traileredithome the truck is powered by an original yblock 292 v8 engine with a standard three- speed column shift aside from a large rear window there are other details that set it apart its gleaming black finish its purple rims and trim its whitewall radial tires andits sparkling chrome grill plus a hood that opens from the rear rather than the front neither jim hord nor john steckley wished to put a price roaming aioiin j with jim thomas on their vehicles our children twins joe and kate are already look ing forward to driving it john says and maybe our grandchildren too im not sure how were going to divide it up he said laughing maybe well have to cut it in two the sleek twoseater boasts a 327 v8 motor producing 340 horsepower recently he drove it to a big corvette show in carlisle perm he also took it on a holiday trip to vermont most of the cars work has been done by john some of it twice he says

ley and denny alsop are chairpersons of saturdays show one owner will drive home with the best in show award saturday only exhibi tors are allowed to vote mr steckley is loud in his praise of

thomas is a stouffville resident who has written for area newspapers for more than 50 years stewing tl chicken with the coming of cooler weather i think of warm hearty meals and im thinking that most of you do as well which brings me to our feature item from the meat counter our beef stew im not sure what is available or passes for beef stew in all the oilier area meat stores but ours is made from the prime rib cap meat this meat was at one time included in a prime rib roast but not of late i think that most now and ours as well is sold capless the cap meat is a tougher muscle and if its roasted as part of a prime rib its tenderness will be disappointing but if its braised as stew its amazing so when you get stew from us thats what you get and weve got a lot of it this week all trimmed lean and cubed ready to make an amazing hearty home- cooked stew reg 599 lb off this week our frozen entree feature will be our amazing chicken bundles these are made with our airchilled
