Cut and measure, Steve Geoffrey and Ron Desch from Doug Geoffrey Construction put up
the framework for the new warm room in the South Huron Recreation Centre. The new ad-
dition to the arena is a warm welcome to ice sports spectators and should be functioning
by Christmas. Project organizers are still seeking community donations to help furnish
and decorate the interior.

The season of
the Advent
DASHWOOD - To some of us,
the Advent wreath symbolizes the
'real' meaning of Christmas. Con-
sisting' of a circle of greens en-
closing five candles, this Christian
tradition marks the coming of
Christ.
The wreath originated with early
pagan tribes who placed greens
around cart wheels in preparation
for the return of their Sun God.
Like many other festive customs,
the tradition of the wreath was
adopted by the Christian heritage.
Instead of waiting for the blessing
of light from the Sun God, Chris-
tians now wait for light from heav-
en.
"In the darkness we Tight a flame
of hope," reads an Advent calendar
compiled by Mark Neilsen and
Arden Mead for Creative Com-
munications for the Parish.
"Most churches have Advent
wreaths," said Pastor John Trem-
bulak, of the Zion Lutheran Church
in Dashwood. "Candles have al-
ways played an important part in
Christianity."
According to Tremhulak, Tight is
a Christian welcoming sign, giving
a 'candle in the window' effect.
On the first Sunday of the Advent
Tradition, which takes place four
Sundays before Christmas, (this
year on December 3) the first can-
dle, the Prophecy Candle. is lit.
thus opening the period of waiting.
Then each of the remaining candles
are lit, one at a time, on Sundays
leading up to Christmas. The Beth-
lehem Candle is second. the Shep-
herd's Candle third, the fourth is
the Angel's Candle and the fifth
candle is named the Christ Candle.
The first, second and fourth can-
dles are usually purple, and the
third is pink, for joyful Sunday.
The last candle lit, the Christ can-
dle. is white. The greens of the
wreath, always real, symbolize life
and the circle shape stands for eter-
nity.
"People celebrate this at home,
too," said Tremhulak, explaining
some make their own Christmas
Advent wreaths, which portray the
movement from darkness to Tight.
The Advent Wreath, a traditional Christmas symbol In many
churches.
