By Sara Speiran
The first official meeting of the
Cranbrook 4-H club was held at the
Grey Twp. shed on Tuesday,
March 18 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.
The group is led by Cindy
VanNes, Elizabeth DeWit and
youth leader, Cynthia DeWit.
In this club the 16 members will
explore the 4-H program. During
the first meeting they talked about
communication and co-operation
skills. They practiced these skills
by playing the telephone game, and
working as a group to build a house
out of marshmallows and
toothpicks.
Other business included voting in
a new executive. It is: president,
Crystal Ahrens; vice-president,
Kelsey Clary; secretary, Michelle
for the weekend as well.
The Saxon family, along with
Marg's brother, Gus, and nephew,
Jayson Duggan were together for
Easter dinner.
"Brrr" said the robin. "I thought it
was spring! It's April, this I know
and I'm ready to sing. But my
beak's nearly frozen, my feet hardly
move. If this month is spring, I do
not approve!"
The Cranbrook Community
Centre is thriving. A euchre party
on Friday, and Wednesday,
exercising. Come along, bring a
friend. Plan a celebration. We're
raising money for our Hall's
decoration.

Speed skaters find success
It was an extremely busy month
for the speed skating Hunt family
from Ethel. The five meets, which
took them from Brampton to
Detroit, Kingston, Gloucester and
Belleville, resulted in success.
The youngest Hunt, Cayli, skated
at the PeeWee level (ages six and
seven) for the Brampton All-points
One Day Short Track, Feb. 1;
Detroit Motor City Super Skate and
American Cup Finals, Feb. 15 and
16; Kingston Maryse Smits Memo
rial All-points Short Track, Feb. 22
and 23, and the Canadian Open
Championship and Team Trials,
March 7 to 9 in Gloucester. She
returned to her regular Cradle Class
for the Provincial Short Track
Championships in Belleville,
March 14 and 15.
In the first four meets, skating
against older girls, Cayli achieved
personal best times in all her races
though she finished out of the
medals. At the provincials, she won
each of her races.
Over the season, Cayli improved
her personal times as follows: 55-
metre, 13.16 seconds to 12.32 sec

Her season ended March 27, with
her club's mini-meet at the Doon
Campus of Conestoga College.
Brett Hunt really burned up the
track in Detroit, Kingston and
Belleville, skating to personal best
times in the 333, 444 and 500-
metre Detroit.
At the Detroit meet, he placed
fourth of eighth over all, in the
Pony/PeeWee Boys class (ages
eight and nine, six and seven).
He earned top marks again at
Kingston with personal best in the
222, 500 and 666-metre as well as a
gold medal in his all-points racing
group of 14 skaters.
Skating at the provincials, in the
Bantam (age eight and nine) class
for the first time, Brett captured
personal best in the 222, 333 and
500-metre. He placed 10th in a
group of 21 skaters which saw sev
eral records broken by the top fin
ishers.
Brett's best season times were:
Smith and Ross Stephenson; tally
card draw, Donna Moore, Jim
McGuillawee, Aileen Mann, Nor
man Coghlin, Iona McLean, Adrian
Verstoep, Viola Adams, Bill and
Isabel Craig.
The next euchre is April 7 at 8:30
p.m.
222-metre, down from 32.53 sec
onds to 28.95 seconds; 333-metre,
48.40 to 44.14; 444-metre, 1.05.66
to 59.98; 500-metre, 1.14.17 to
1.05.12, and 666-metre, 1.42.88 to
1.30.08.
Though she got off to a slow start
this season due to a broken ankle in
September, Carla qualified for the
Ontario team, which will travel to
Charlottetown, P.E.I., April 4-6 for
the Canadian Sort Track Champi
onships. To qualify, Carla had to
skate two times which were within
10 per cent of the Canadian record
for Juvenile Girls (ages 12 and 13).
She also placed fourth at the
provincials.
Her two qualifying times were
1.12.30 seconds in the 666-metre
and 1.53.48 in the 1,000-metre.
Those finishes gave her a ranking
of 14th for the midget to intermedi
ate classes (ages 10-17). The top 20
go the Canadian championships.
Kathy Hunt started her season
very well, skating a personal best in
Calgary in December, but a health
problem causing asthma, resulted
in disappointing finishes later in the
year.
Now recovering from the infec
tion, Hunt narrowly missed the sec
ond team trials in Gloucester.
Hunt earned a gold medal at the
provincials, though there was little
competition. The meet, however,
allowed her to improve her times
and re-establish her normal speeds.
She will attend the Canadian and
North American Championships
with Carla, where she will skate in
the Senior A women's division
(over 18). Hunt will defend her
North American title which she has
held for two years.
Hunt is ranked 39th in Canada,
this year.
