The Citizen, 1990-12-21, Page 2PAGE 2. THE CITIZEN, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1990. Brussels Howick poacher bagged by decoy People On Sunday for a family Christ­ mas dinner with Marie McTaggart were Dale and Inez, Dean and Dana McTaggart of Stratford; Mrs. Luella Schaeffer, Diane and Denise and Kevin Schaeffer and friends; Dwayne Achilles and Sue Dey; Dan and Karen Achilles, Donny and Joey of Wartburg; Christine Achilles and Tom Ney, Sebring- ville; Kathryn and Keith Schaeffer, Grand Bend; Ruth and Murray Lowe, John and Nicole. A wonder­ ful dinner provided by the Country Cooks of Ethel was enjoyed by everyone at the Brussels Library. Mr. and Mrs. Mel Jacklin cele­ brated an early Christmas on Sunday Dec. 16 with Mrs. Jacklin’s daughter and family Marlene Glan­ ville and Ken of London, Ont.; Carol Glanville and Darrell of Woodstock; Darlene of London and grandson Gary Glanville of Ro­ stock, Ont. and Barbara Elliott. On December 6, 1990 at Ontario Court in Goderich, fines totalling $850 were levied against Ivan Campbell of Clifford for hunting deer during the closed season and shooting from a vehicle. Mr. Carhp- bell’s scoped, high-powered rifle valued at more than $900 was also ordered forfeited to the Crown. Wingham Conservation Officers had received complaints of illegal deer hunting activity in the north part of Howick Township during October. They decided to set up a deer decoy in one of the problem areas. At dusk on November 2, 1990 Mr. Campbell fired three shots from his vehicle at the decoy. He was subsequently apprehended and charged under the Game and Fish Act. A four-day controlled deer hunt with only shotguns and muzzle loaders allowed would open on November 5, 1990. The archery season (long bows and cross bows) runs from October 15 to November 4 and November 9 to December 31. The Ministry of Natural Resour- ces requests concerned hunters and other citizens to report illegal hunting activities at the time of the suspected offence. The Ministry has conducted controlled deer hunts in Huron County for 10 years and the deer herd, presently, is in excellent shape. They hope to continue to provide quality hunting and viewing opportunities for the public and one way to accomplish this is to crack down on the illegal kill. Brussels area man charged after crash A Brussels area man has been charged after an accident which occurred at 4 a.m. on December 15 in Grey Township. A spokesperson from the Wing­ ham OPP said that 20-year-old Steve Stevenson of RR 2, Brussels was southbound on sideroad 20/21 when he failed to stop at the intersection of County Road 25. Police say his 1979 Chev Blazer crossed the road, then spun around and entered the south ditch where it struck a fence. Mr. Stevenson was charged with failure to stop and with liquor in the vehicle, the spokesperson said. to You Kids' crafts mean holiday fun For children eagerly awaiting Christmas, the days often go by much too slowly. One solution is to involve youngsters in holiday pre­ parations such as making home­ made ornaments. Children can easily make stuffed felt ornaments without using a needle and thread. Materials you’ll need are: felt in bright holiday colours, scissors, construction paper, glue, and trimmings. Draw simple patterns of stars, diamonds, animals, teddy bears, the outline of trees, or even Santa. Older children can use the patterns to cut their own felt pieces, and parents can help the young ones. Cut two of each pattern. Next take one piece from each pair of felt shapes and glue a small wad of cotton in its center. Glue a loop of yarn or ribbon at one edge for hanging later. Now the creativity begins. On the second piece of felt, children can arrange sequins, faux jewels or beads, coloured pipe cleaners, scraps of felt, macaroni ... the possibilities are endless. Once the decorations are arranged, glue each piece to the felt. For heavier objects (such as large beads), try a glue with a quick tack and strong hold. Glue both pieces of felt together (try clamping the edges with clothes pins) and let orna­ ments dry overnight. Create a cornucopia Filled with candies and other sweets, decorated paper cornuco­ pias was traditionally hung on the boughs of Christmas trees in the 19th century. These cornucopias were made by avid readers of the ladies’ magazines of the day, which frequently printed instructions for creating them. For those who wish to bring a touch of Victoriana to a contem­ porary Christmas, cornucopias are easy to make. Draw quarter circles on thin, bendable cardboard (using a com­ pass for accuracy), leaving a mar­ gin on one side of the seam. Using the same pattern, form more quarter circles out of decorative wrapping paper, two for each cornucopia (to serve as lining and outer surface). Cut the shape out, glue the lining and outer paper to each piece of cardboard, and allow to dry. Then, form into cones, gluing on the inside where the extra margin is tucked. Glue loop of ribbon or decorative cord to the op of each cornucopia to form a handle for hanging. Add other decorations - stickers, tinsel, bits of doily - as imagination dictates and, after they have thor­ oughly dried, fill with candy, nuts or other treats.
