Pentastic Motors

519-335-6565
Ohhh - what a ride!!
Through his love of classic muscle cars, Dave Robertson started
Pentastic Motors after selling his beloved ‘69 Plymouth Barracuda in 1999.
Having his dealers license in hand, and buying land, building the original
1344 sqft building in 2000 - Dave and his wife Heather haven’t looked back!
The continual growth of the business has had them expanding their
building for a clean-up facility in 2004 and again in 2011.
With the expansion of the building, came staff - and their first salesperson
was hired in 2008.
While adding more shop space, came increasing inventory,
Pentastic Motors is now a 6000 sq ft FULL SALES AND SERVICE facility
that specializes in 4x4 trucks, muscle cars, classic car work, and custom
golf carts with eight full time staff.
Thanks to the people of Howick and surrounding area for the continued
support - Pentastic Motors is looking forward to many more celebrations!

Howick 160th - 3
Happy 160th Anniversary to Howick Township. This year we all celebrate our time living in
Howick. I hope all residents, former residents and guests can join in the many activities and
fun that are planned for July 29 to July 31st.
On behalf of Council, I thank the 160th Committee for the vision they had to plan this weekend,
and all the work they are doing to make it happen. Also, thanks to our community groups who
are organizing the various activities.
On a historic milestone such of this,

A Community barbecue
and celebration
Submitted by:
Gary Goodkey, Pastor, and DeAnna Musgrove,
Administrative Coordinator, Gorrie Bible Fellowship.
We were delighted to be invited by the
Howick 160th Committee to host our annual
Community BBQ as part of the anniversary
celebrations of our township. Our Community
BBQ began several years ago as a way of giving
our community a ‘taste’ of God’s goodness and
it certainly has been a privilege to serve our
community in this way.
Over the years there has been a variety of
features that have provided entertainment and
education. Our very first Community BBQ
was hosted at the ball park in Gorrie with a
display of ‘Mighty Machines’ from around our
community. Other features have included,
police dogs, birds of prey, the famous pumpkin
canon, live music and emergency personnel.
We have enjoyed working with the Howick
Fire Department who have brought the fire
trucks and provided other demonstrations
and activities. A highlight was our visit from
hockey legend, Paul Henderson back in 2013.
In 2012 the Community BBQ moved from the
Gorrie Ball Park to the Howick Community
Centre, which offers more protection from
poor weather and greater access to water
and hydro. This location has been a great,
central location for bringing our community
together!
Each year the meal has been provided
through the generosity of our church family.
We have been grateful for the local businesses
who have provided door prizes and other gifts
for those who attend. While there has never
been a cost for this event, our community has
donated thousands of dollars, 100% of which
are funneled to local needs, including our fire
department and to underprivileged children.
So why do we do it? The Community BBQ
has always required a small army of volunteers
from our church family, and although it has
stretched us, it has given us the joy of working
together as a family and giving something back
in light of all that God has given to us. The
Bible proclaims the ‘Good News’ that Jesus
gave his life for the salvation and forgiveness
of all who will place their trust in Him.
At Gorrie Bible Fellowship, our desire is for
all in our community to hear and respond to
this Good News. The Community BBQ is our
way of showing Howick Township that we
care! We are not perfect people and we are far
from a perfect church, but we have come to
know the forgiveness and salvation that Jesus
offers, and we want all in our community to
experience this as well.
“Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed
is the one who takes refuge in him” Psalm
34:8. This is our desire for the Community
BBQ. Come and enjoy a meal on us. Taste and
see that the Lord is good!

Keeping Fit in Howick
Howick is a tri-village metropolis that enjoys the
spacious living and fresh air of the country but has
all of its needs covered in a relatively short distance.
Being healthy and active is an important fact of life
and Howick has lots of options to help its residents
keep fit. There are a variety of sports for both young
and old that are enjoyable, sprout comradery and
can even be competitive. Baseball, soccer, hockey,
broomball, figure skating and lacrosse are just a
few.
Cheering on the players, walking around the
field/arena helps with morale and is a place to get
moving. With this beautiful hot weather, a dip in
the pool is a refreshing option and there is aqua fit
to participate in that is great for joint challenges.
If sports are not your cup of tea, Studio 87 has a
beautiful gym and a great personal trainer, Vanessa
Schefter. She has a variety of classes or you can work
privately with her to achieve your fitness goals. If
having fun and shaking your bootie while getting
lost in the music sounds good - Tina Pruden holds
Zumba classes from the fall through to the spring.
On any given day you can see people enjoying
the solitude of a run or walk on their own or
groups chatting and walking. There have even been
some walk, cycling and run clubs which are a cost
effective way of getting healthy and meeting
people in the community.
OBSTACLE COURSE
With all this in mind, a desire to challenge
oneself and follow the current trend – a fun
3 km obstacle course/race has been planned
for the Howick 160th Celebration on July
30th. Create a team, challenge your family or
go solo. You can walk, run or crawl as it will
be suitable for most fitness levels.
If you get to an obstacle that makes you
uncomfortable – just go around it. A
water/snack station will be available half
way through the course and a celebratory
beverage awaits you at the finish line. We’d
love to know how many people will be
participating so I urge you to google Howick
160th Anniversary for the link to sign up.
There is a minimal charge of $15. The website
accepts credit cards or if you want to pay cash
we will have forms & waivers at Bare Necessities,
Boyd’s Farm Supply, Pentastic Motors, Watson’s
Home Hardware and Wroxeter Variety. So have
some fun, revel in the accomplishment and earn
a drink. Hope to see you there.

Our In-School Mentor Program is in need of volunteers, especially at our
out-of-town schools, such as Howick. It’s requirements are light - and the
rewards are heavy. We ask that you spend one-hour a week in a classroom
with a child that needs just a little additional help.
*We are always looking for dedicated individuals to sit on our Board of Directors.
Meetings take place on the second Wednesday of every month from Sept-June.
Contact the office for more information or to inquire about

Volunteers needed
Anniversary celebration requires a
lot of helping hands
Even though the small committee of
volunteers began meeting early in the year to
discuss the possible celebrations of 160 years it was decided quite early that it can’t be done
alone.
Volunteer shifts have been created by Miranda
deBoer. Trying to keep them short shifts so that
many can continue to join in the activities of
the weekend. Like they say, many hands make
light work.
We are needing people to help with setting up
Thursday of the tents, fencing, placing garbage
cans, pylons and hanging signs. As you can just
imagine, there will be tables that will be moved
around, chairs to be brought in - the list goes
on and on.
If you plan on being around for the
weekend anyway - Talk to Coreen Harding
at Bare Necessities, or call 519-335-4499 or
Alyssa Robertson 519-291-7080 or email
howick160th@gmail.com to fill a spot.

Local support keeps
minor ball in operations
Howick Hawks Minor ball would like to
congratulate the 160th committee for their
hard work and several hours into preparing
for this event. It’s volunteers and formed
committee’s like the 160th that make Howick
Township a great place to live
and raise your children.
Howick Minor Ball was
formed this year with the
idea to keep all kids in the
area playing team sports and
representing Howick at all
ages in fastball. Our goal is to have local kids
learn and develop their fastball skills while in
a team environment.
Our executive committee consists of 8 local
individuals who have all played, or still play
baseball in the community.
With this being our first year came lots of
expenses. The generous support from local

organizations and businesses helped make
Howick Minor Ball start the year in some
nice new uniforms and equipment. News
about the newly formed Howick Minor Ball
spread quickly with registration numbers
higher than we anticipated.
We were hoping to have any
where from 3 to 5 teams this
year but ended up with 7 in
total which is a great start.
Howick Minor Ball has
been out in the community
already fundraising. Thank you to everyone
that came and seen us at Watson’s Home
Hardware for our BBQ and Bake Sale. This
was a great success.
Interested in coming to watch a game
or two? Visit either Wroxeter or Fordwich
Ball diamonds almost any night of the
week. We appreciate the support that all
3 parks boards have provided us. Our
home games are played between Fordwich
and Wroxeter and practices are held at the
Gorrie diamond.
Stay up to date on what’s happening with
Howick Minor Ball on Facebook or Twitter
@howickhawks.
We look forward to continuing to grow
as an organization and to increase our
registration numbers to be able to provide
fastball teams from T-ball right up to
Junior in the Howick community.

Howick Farmers' Market
From our first settlements in the 1850's, Howick Township has been
a strong agricultural community.
Those agricultural roots continue today with the Howick Farmers'
Market in its 6th season. Featuring locally grown produce and hand
made products, the Farmers' Market highlights our rural strengths.
True to our pioneer values, the community comes out Saturday
mornings to the Community Centre to support our vendors and
to enjoy a social time with
friends and neighbours.
Special Events are held throughout the Market season
to celebrate the bounty of fresh fruits and vegetables
or just for fun! For more details, check us out at

History of the Fire Department
The Howick Township Fire
Department has been serving
Howick Township since 1984.
From humble beginnings with
about thirteen firefighters and an
old fuel truck retrofitted into a
fire truck that was stored in a local
barn. Today we have twenty-three
firefighters, three fire trucks and
a fire station located in Gorrie.
The core values have remained the same: “a
dedicated group of people who take pride
in serving and helping their community
through emergency response, public
education and community service.”
The Howick Firefighters have always
enjoyed and will continue to take part
in supporting community events. The
firefighters look forward to and are always
humbled by the support given to us at the
spring and fall breakfasts. The firefighters
would like to take this opportunity to
sincerely thank the community for their
past, present and continued support of the
Howick Fire Department.
Currently throughout the
volunteer fire services there
is shortage of volunteers and
the average service time of a
volunteer firefighter today is less
than five years. The Howick Fire
Department can say that about
half of the firefighters have almost
ten years of service and we have
four with over twenty years of
service.
The Howick Firefighters are happy to be part
of the 160th celebrations and would like to
wish Howick a Happy 160th. Please have a
safe and fun weekend July 29-31. The Howick Firefighters look forward to continuing to
proudly serve Howick Township as “Neighbours Helping Neighbours”

Do you remember...?
• Prior to Howick having a fire department,
Howick was provided fire protection
through agreements with Wingham,
Listowel, Harriston & Clifford.
• 1984/85 -The fire department was formed
under a joint fire board between Howick
Township & the Town of Wingham
forming the Wingham & Area Fire
Department.
• In 1987 the fire department took over
the former Howick Roads/Public Works
building in Gorrie. The firefighters did all
the renovations required to the building
themselves and it reopened as the Howick
Fire Station in 1988.
• October 2009 the fire board was
dissolved and the Howick Township Fire
Department was created.
• The Howick Fire Department logo and
crest were designed by a Howick Firefighter
• January 2010 Howick Township named
Bill Doig as Fire Chief of the Howick Fire
Department.
• May 12 2010 the “Creamery Fire” on Fordwich
Line
• June 2012 Bill Doig retired with 28 years
of service and Howick Township named
Shawn Edwards Fire Chief of the Howick
Fire Department.
• Over 40 people have served on the Fire
Dept. and they currently has 3 women
firefighters and a chaplain.
• Sparky joined the team in 2015 thanks
to the generosity of the Howick Optimist
club.

38 - Howick 160th
Only the helmet retired
Submitted by Carol Mann
July 1, 1993 started out like any other Canada
Day celebration. In the evening our family
headed to the community centre for the annual
fireworks display. As Ron was one of the
Howick Firefighters, he was going to help light
the fireworks. He stopped at the firehall and
picked up his turnout gear and went on to the
centre. Ron proceeded to the area where the
fireworks were loaded and a crowd gathered
a safe distance away to watch the show. Our
daughter, Janice, noticed that he hadn’t taken
his turnout gear and she promptly delivered it
to him. He said later that he put it on mainly
so children venturing too close would pay
attention when he asked them to go to a safe
area.
As darkness set in, the fireworks began and
all went well until there was an explosion on
the ground accompanied by a loud “boom”
that didn’t sound normal. A profile could
be seen flying through the air and to use the
words of a close family member – “I knew it
was him”! An ambulance was dispatched and
Ron was quickly transported to Wingham
hospital. It was a scary time for us as we didn’t
know how badly he was injured.
The hole
through
the fibreglass
came from
the
fireworks
It all turned out well as there were only minor
injuries and shrapnel (pieces of casing and
wood) embedded in his gear. He was badly
shook up and remained in hospital overnight.
It was later, when the firemen examined his
helmet, that they found a hole right through
the fibreglass! Needless to say, the events that
led to him wearing his turnout gear probably
saved his life. The helmet was retired and is in
his possession.
Our family looks forward to the return of
a fireworks celebration, but plan to watch it
from a distance!
