Unfortunately, most of the snow was gone, so no snowmobiling could be enjoyed. That has made for some sad snowmobile enthusiasts as there were very few days to be out on the trails. Unless they were heading north, it has been a short season around here. Many of the kids reported an enjoyable break from school. Some went to Florida, some went to their cottage, some went to Grandma’s, some played in hockey tournaments, some went swimming and some just stayed at home. Lots of different answers the first morning back on the bus. The Cranbrook Darts had 17 players out to play on Wednesday evening. Team 1 of George Zwep and Gayle Speiran were hot shots winning all six games for the night. Pat Gillis had the high ladies shot of 140 and George hit 100. It was the first decent night they have had for travel since darts began in January. Our sympathies are extended to the family of the late Margaret Work. She will be missed by her children Ken, Judy and Kathy and their families. Marg was a wonderful lady who love to visit and talk with everyone and anyone. She had a wonderful memory and could recall events and people from many years ago. Always a pleasure to see and many times she would call me up with some news. She will be missed by many.

Happy birthday to all. Ward Verschaeve of the Blyth area recently concluded his third season swimming with the Carleton University Ravens. At the end of the season, Verschaeve competed at the Ontario University Association provincial championships in St. Catharines last month. The meet welcomed swimmers from every university across Ontario, Verschaeve said, pitting his team against many notable athletes, including Olympian and former world-record-holder Kylie Masse. Verschaeve set personal bests in all his races, dropping four seconds in the 200-metre freestyle, two seconds in the 50-metre backstroke and dropping one second off his 50-metre freestyle time in the relay event. He dropped another half second off the 50-metre freestyle later in the meet when he swam it individually. Verschaeve said the event was a bittersweet one as many of his teammates will be retiring at the end of the year while he prepares for next year.

(Nick Vinnicombe photo) Heritage fund deadline coming May 1, 2019 is the next deadline for individuals and organizations to submit applications for the Huron Heritage Fund. Established in 2007, the purpose of the Huron Heritage Fund is to encourage the preservation of heritage assets and activities of heritage importance to the County of Huron and its residents. Many initiatives from throughout Huron County have been supported by the Huron Heritage Fund since its inception. In recent years, projects have included support for Ashfield historians with their book East Ashfield, 1842-2017, upgrades to Elimville Community Park, renovations to Hensall Heritage Hall and recording oral histories of Huron Tract Land Trust Conservancy donors. “The county will contribute up to 50 per cent of the costs of a project to a maximum of $5,000,” according to Beth Rumble, Director of Cultural Services. This investment also leverages other groups or individuals to invest in Huron County’s heritage. Projects will assist in the preservation and restoration of heritage landmarks, historic buildings and objects of historical significance not owned by the County of Huron. Heritage publications and events also qualify for support under this program. More information about the application process can be found on the Huron County Museum’s website at https://www.huron countymuseum.ca/huron-heritage- fund/.
