Some will stop and inquire from pat Wolfe whathe’sbuilding when they see him busy at work adding an additional Jog to one of the four wails. Others are equally as curious when they firstsee the larger log building up on the hill near Nairn just to the west of Craigwood Boys’ farm. Both are log homes built by Pat Wolfe of Ailsa Craig, an instructor in the art of log building. The three bedroom home at Nairn was started in September 77 and built by students through Fanshawe College enrolled in course on log building, The project enabled the students to learn aspects of building the foundation, 'notching the logs, window and door framing and Bannister the high jump. Mary Ann Watson won the long jump in the girls 13 and over and Rachael Toews took the 400 metre in the girls 11 and under 400 metre race. roofing as they worked on the partially completed home for student Brian McCor mack, a high school teacher at Wallaceburg. The structure will shortly be dismantled and reassembled on a lot owned by Mr, McCormack. Some 250 logs contain the 2,000 square foot home. The red pine logs were cut from the Simcoe area and each log had to have a minimum base of 13”. “The only unfortunate incident occurred at the very last whpn our haul was stolen from the site just as the building was completed”, reported Pat. “As the last logs were put into place the haul was then in easy reach and the next day when I went back to pick it up someone had taken it.” Pat and his wife, Judy, built their first log home in British Columbia before moving to Ailsa Craig a few years ago. They feel it is one of the most economical and satisfactory types of structure as well as being attractive. The current project just north of town is the seventh log house Pat has built to date and it is for the Wolfs* themselves. This one is being built with a type of poplar known as Balm of Gilead. The 35’ logs were harvested from the Hay swamp in Hay Township through the Ministry of Natural Resources. “It will take about 50 logs to fully finish the house,” explained Pat. “We try to add one log a day.” Each log has to be carefully stripped of its bark which is very time con­ suming and tedious and then treated with a preservative to prevent rot and decay. The preservative also gives the poplar logs a bright yellow hue and will stop the logs from graying. When completed the home will be 1 y2 storeys ecom­ passing some 1500 square feet. “We plan an outdoor fruit cellar,” explained Judy. “Some of the walls inside will remain wood while a few will be papered.” Currently the Wolfs have their home in Ailsa Craig up for sale and when their new log home is completed, it will be dismantled and again reassembled on property they hope to buy in the Colbourg area where Pat will give instructions in log building right .on his own property as well as doing contract work. This summer he will be teaching at Senecca College in Toronto.

Scouts hold fishing derby A 10 pound carp took the prize in the fishing derby held by the Ailsa Craig Boy Scouts, May 14. Barry Craven caught the largest fish with a pocket fisherman and a “big, fat dewworm”! Brian McLachlin caught the most fish. He pulled in four fish to win the prize for the largest ndmber caught, and Jim Fletcher took the honours for landing thesmallest fish. “It was an evening of fun for the boys”, reported Scouter Gary Tweddle, The boys lined up along the “black bridge” crossing the Ausable River just north of the village and were spaced out approximately 50’ apart to avoid tangled lines and other misadventures. No sooner had everyone been located when it began to rain and it was necessary to take cover. Fortunately, it proved to be a heavy, but short downpour and the derby was allowed to continue. Scout leader Gary Tweddle, Jim Dixon, Bill Sutherland and Chas Har­ mer acted as judges for the contest. Monday evening, May 21St the scouts and cubs gathered together along with their parents at the farm of Jim Dixon to end the season. Bon fires were lit ahd all enjoyed a satisfying wiener, roast before celebrating the Victoria Day holiday with a brilliant fireworks display.
