Easter activities for children
By Roberta Walker
GRAND BEND - The last few
weekends have been busy at the
Lambton Heritage Museum. Over
900 people have visited the mu-
seum in search of information
about the swans and the birds of the
Tamarack Rehabilitation Centre.
The swans have been elusive this
year, but estimates place their num-
bers at about 2000.
The main problem is the lack of
water in the fields where they nor-
mally stay during their migration.
Some flocks are far back in the bog
area near Thedford, but most are
staying out on the lake, briefly fly-
ing over to the Bog fields to feed.
There are even reports of a re-
sourceful flock of 500 swans in a
field near Stratford!
A large number have left the area
over the weekend, with a fresh east
wind.
Visitors to the museum enjoyed
the exhibits of other birds as well.
The fust weekend, Ross Snider, of
the Temarack Rehabilitation Cen-
tre had a display of hawks, owls;
and other raptors. These birds had
been injured and were treated so
they could be returned to the wild.
Following his Sunday show, Snid-
er set a few of the birds free, com-
pletely recovered, to resume their
life in nature's world.
On the second weekend, Jackie
Schottroff of Grand Bend provided
visitors with a lecture and 'display
on hunting with a hawk, the an-
cient and kingly sport of 'falconry.
She flies a beautiful Harris Hawk,
which she has trained to hunt - a
study in the grace, skill and feroci-
ty of one of Nature's remarkable
-o.
Naturalist Alf Rider was also on
hand, to provide a waterfowl identi-
fication film and a lecture. It was
an interesting and informative
weekend for all visitors.
Last Saturday morning, the
crowds came for something else,
the annual Easter Egg Hunt at the
museum. The weathlr was warm
and sunny for the 400 children and
200 adults, who enjoyed the spe-
cial day, sponsored by the Sauble-
Port Franks Optimists Club.
The Easter bunny hopped around
as children scurried about the mu-
seum grounds, locating the eggs,

Woolettes learn
to block, press
ZURICI'I - On March 20, in the
Town Hall at Zurich, the Woolettes
gathered to learn some more knit-
ting! We learned to press wool,
which is called blocking. We start-
ed a tension swatch and talked
about our projects.
As a learning experience and
some fun, our junior leader, Margy
Hartman, led us in a game of
"Family Feud". The two teams
challenged each other in a "Wooly
Words Search".
Refreshments were brought by
Margy Hartman and Bridget Groot.
The next meeting is on March 27
at the Town Hall in Zurich.

Through the arts, the child
is encouraged to explore, to
manipulate, to rearrange, to
respond and to react to
materials, experiences and
the surroundings. The
child's creative responses
to open-ended challenges
will provide a means to
develop confidence and
self-esteem.

made,. the child comes to understand the integral parts
of the total environment. First-hand investigations and
