Away with words Seaforth youth wins first place in county -wide poem competition Shaun Gregory Huron Expositor Marissa Price, from Seaforth has a way with words. The 11-year-old's poem (see factbox) won first place for all of Huron County. Up against several others her age, Seaforth Legion judges believed Price's Remembrance Day poem had what it takes to win the county -wide competition. She admitted to not pen- ning many poems in the past, but this specific piece of writing surpassed her standards. "I just wrote what I felt was best," she said March 24 in the Expositor office. Her mother Krista Price, said after the piece was finished it started circu- lating around St. James Catholic School from instructor to instructor. "She did well, she said my teachers told me I would win," stated Krista, referring to what her daughter had told her.. "The one teacher said to the other one, you need (to read) this because it's really good." Shaun Gregory The Art of the Poppy I walk home from school I play a sport for my country But then I remember what they did for us... I go to school next day And I read a story about Remembrance Day I'm shocked about what I read about the soldiers They risked their lives just to save us... I go to a grave where poppies are I pray here in front of their graves I get up and grab my sketchbook And I draw a poppy I get home and I put the drawing on my wall Then I write a story about the war And put it next to the drawing I then smile "I'm so proud to be Canadian."

Possible bear tracks in Goderich Laura Broadley Postmedia Network Goderich has had a visitor over the last few days. Someone alerted Bob Trick, animal control officer with the Town of Goder- ich to possible bear tracks were founded near Balvina Drive, behind Goderich Place on Wednesday morning. He couldn't say for certain whether they belonged to a bear but that they were definitely not dog or coyote tracks. "I'm assuming it's a bear. A smaller - type bear, maybe a yearling, Trick said. No sightings of the bear have been reported yet but a resident phoned in after finding the tracks. The tracks appear to be fresh and Trick estimates they were made within the last 24 hours. While bears in Goderich are rare, they're not unheard of, Trick said. Two years ago a mother bear and her cub decided to come to town but there was nothing reported last year. "You must remember, they're very hungry this time of year. They've come out of hibernation so they're really look- ing for something to eat," Trick said. Dog and cat food, as well as garbage, left outside can draw bears to your yard. Trick also suggests people hold back on putting bird feeders out. If you do see a bear, don't approach it and contact the OPP right away, Trick said. SLINIGLASS SHE!!
