Snowmobilers prepare to ride on another season
Jeff Heucbert
Thanks to an early harvest this
past fall, and the steady snowfall
and accumulation this past month,
snowmobilers are just about ready
to hit the trails.
According to director of the
Seaforth Pineridge Snowmobile
Club Ron Williamson, they're still
waiting for a little bit more snow
before opening the trails.
"There's just not enough snow on
the (wheat) fields yet," he says.
The snow forms a base over the
wheat fields, protecting the crops.
"Six more inches would be per-
fect."
Otherwise, everything is ready to
go.
Stakes to post signs have all been
set up, and groomers are checking
the trails, making sure they're lev-
eled off says Williamson.

The Seaforth Pineridge
Snowmobile Club operates between
200 to 300 km of trails in the
Seaforth area, and have around 800
members.
Williamson says a few trails have
been re-routed this year because of
complaints from land owners, over
snowmobilers traveling off of the
trails.
Williamson warns riders of the
consequences if they continue to
ride off of the trails.
"There is a fear of losing trails in
the future," he says.
For now though, another season is
right around the corner.
Williamson says trails could open
as soon as this week, or by the
weekend.

Seaforth arena to host third hockey
school this Christmas break
Susan Hundertmark
For the third year, a Christmas Break hock-
ey school will be held at the Seaforth arena.
Held for players aged six to 13, the school
will offer both on -ice and off -ice training.
"It will be fun but with some good drills
too," says organizer Kathy Heuther.
Luke Vick and Mike McLaughlin, both
members of the St. Marys Jr. B Lincolns, will
be the main instructors this year.
They'll be helped by Sarah Johnston, of the
Mitchell midget girls' hockey team and Brad
McLaughlin, a Seaforth midget boys' player.
While only 10 players have signed up so far,
Huether says there's room for 40, who will be
divided into two groups based on skill level.
Huether says the hockey school has become
popular with out-of-town players from
Goderich and Clinton as well as with
Seaforth players.
Along with developing hockey skills,
Huether says the school will include talks on
nutrition and the importance of physical fit-
ness and core development.
"The kids love it," she says of the hockey
school. "They have such a good time."
This year's camp, which runs from 8 a.m.
until 2 p.m., costs $75 and runs from Dec. 27
to 29.

Huether at 527-1272.
