Dublin Lions build outdoor rink, first of its kind in village
By Chris Colbourn@
Mitchel Advocate
With the popularity of
hockey, ringette and good
of fashioned skating, ice
time in West Perth is a hot
commodity.
But thanks to the
dedicated work of some
Dublin Lions, Club
members (and a few non-
members), and combined
with the wintry elements
this year, there's a new
outdoor rink for the public
to enjoy.
The rink, which
measures about 36 -feet
wide and 96 -feet in length,
is located behind the
Lion's pavilion in Dublin.
Lion Dale Cronin said
this is the first year the
Lions Club has built .a
public rink and having a
good old fashioned
Canadian winter has
helped make the project a
success.
"We hit it lucky," he
said. "When you see them
out there skating it makes
it worthwhile."
Cronin and fellow Lion
John Looby said the rink is
usually open from the
morning to about 9:30 p.m.

lacing up their skates to try out the new ice rink located

when a new flood of water
is applied. Cronin also
pointed out the location of
the rink is convenient
because a creek that runs
nearby provides ample
water for floods. Cronin
said that during the flood
time until the rink opens,
there are signs asking the
public to refrain from
using the ice surface until
it is completely ready.
The whole idea for the
rink came from discussions
among members of the
club who wanted a
community project, said

Gardening club plants
bulbs to prepare for spring
During January,
residents enjoyed
slowing down
after the busy
Seaforth Manor Nursing Home
Christmas season and kept
busy indoors.
We bid farewell to Rev.
Doug Corriveau from Bethel
Bible Church and wish him
well in his new job.
Our Baking Club made
delicious carrot muffins
which were enjoyed
following an afternoon of
excellent entertainment
provided by Carol LeBeau
and Bill Pepper.
Our Gardening Club was
busy planting tulip, daffodil
and hyacinth bulbs to force
for early spring blooming as
well as several amaryllis
bulbs which have already
sprouted up. These
gardening projects help us
think ahead to spring. Piano
music with Carol Carter and
Bill Gibson kept everyone
singing some favourite tunes.
Our Robbie Burns Day
event had everyone enjoying
a traditional Scottish menu
for the day as well as a very
interesting travelogue of
Scotland and some delicious
Scottish snacks. Several of
our residents attended the
Alzheimer's walk-a-thon at
the local high school.
Congratulations to Pat
Ryan and Isabelle Shortrecd
for their fundraising efforts
to support the Alzheimer's
Society.
Conducting our
worship services
for January were
Rev. Doug
Corriveau, Rev. Dino
Salvador, Rev. Sheila
Macgregor and Rev. Judith
Springett.
Everyone is looking ahead
to our Valentine's
celebrations for February as
well as our Tribute to
Mexico to warm up a wintry'
month.
As of press time, we have
several residents under the
weather on our Nursing
Home floor and are
restricting visitors.
Hopefully, this will be of
short duration. If you arc
planning a visit, please call
ahead to sec if we are open.
