Hallowe'en Poster Contest
By Block Parents
Kimberley Ferguson and
Tina Burkholder
At Blyth Public School there is a
the Ministry of Natural Resources they
would be collecting walnuts again, a yearly
event. They would be arriving sometime on
Tuesday to pick them up in Hullet. The
walnuts will then be implanted and new
walnut trees sprout up later on: My cousin
informed me, though, that this was a poor
year for walnuts, as they were turning black
before they fell from the tree, as opposed to
turning color after they had fallen. Ap-
parently, green walnuts are normally
preferred. He then went on to say that he
would appreciate any extra walnuts that we
could gather.
After spending all of Monday afternoon,
and part of the evening, gathering eight 100
kg bag fulls, I soon paid for it. I couldn't help
but wonder if my aching thighs were the
result of what is commonly referred to as
"Squatters Rights!"
QUOTE OF THE WEEK: The only way to
get out of bed every morning with a smile on
your face, is to go to bed at night with a coat
hanger in your mouth.

Relaxation is hard work
By Kathy Bromley
Ohh, it was beautiful,.. great while it
lasted. I am referring to a weekend holiday
we enjoyed with three other couples from
October 2-4, in Wheels Inn, Chatham. This is
one location where everything can be en-
joyed inside, without having to set foot out-
side the door. I appreciated this holiday
even more, when we returned home to find
that wet snow had been experienced in some
localities!

During our stay, we observed that '-
numerous sports and other athletic exer-
cises could be enjoyed. Tennis, badminton,
ping-pong, weights, squash, bowling... the
list goes on for all of the events you could
participate in. Of all the available. sports to
take part in, bowling was at the top of the
list. The obvious difference that I noticed
here, as compared to what I am used to, was
the weight of the bowling balls. These alleys
weren't for five pin bowling, but rather, 10
pin bowling. Of course, five pin bowling was
only a block away.
Since we remained in Wheels Inn, the first
thing I had to do was to choose the most
comfortable weight ball to use. I chose the"
ball that was eight pounds, the lightest bowl-,
ing ball available for this game. My hus-
band mentioned that he should have 'known
that I would choose this particular one —
after all, it was pink and that is one of my
favorite colors (it blended in great with my
pink jeans and pink top that I was wearing).
With such weight for a big bowling ball, I
found it to be very awkward. I am a two -
pound weakling, but I was able to adjust to
it. Intact 1 managed a strike in the first
frame. That was as far as it went, though. It
was no longer a game that went down alley,
but rather it went down hill!
The second game, I made up my mind...
enough of this, let's get serious ( sounded
good to me... maybe I was not concentrating
enough 1. This game was completely another
story. Instead of it being down hill, it seem-
ed that I was now beginning up the other
side. I ended up with the high score! I realiz-
ed then that it wasn't a bad day for me after
all. If there had been prizes like in euchre. I
would have had my choice between prizes
'for either high or low scores! Unfortunately.
for this enjoyment, I paid for it, as I seemed
to be lobsided due to the weight of the bowl-
ing ball.
It was the perfect time for a massage, to
ease your muscles and to relax. I quickly
decided to put that on hold, though, as it was

$28 for a half hour massage. A little too
much for me. I will have to get it done the
next time, after I have calculated the bill
my husband owes me for all of his massages
I have given him over the past 12 years.
For a lady who lived in water, coming
from Port Albert, I found the most relaxa-
tion to be in the pools. The men made use of
the slides that were available, but I prefer-
red swimming and floating around, just as I
did, some odd years ago. Whenever we
entered the pool in the fitness grounds, we
were fortunate to find it to be very quiet.
The whirlpool, adjacent to the pool, was
another type of relaxation again. I could go
to sleep lh it! 'It Wad stressed though, that
you could not remain in the whirlpool' for
any longer than 15 minutes at a time, for
your own safety. The temperature varied
from 102 to 108 F. at all times! It was similar
to being in a bath tub, only, bubbles were
continuously gurgling, relaxing you even
more.
Afterwards, we could have went to the
work-out room, in the fitness centre, dealing
with weights. I quickly decided upon our ar-
rival, though, that I had my share of
weights, holding the heavy bowling ball l ac-
tually, I don't think I could have lifted
anything ).
On Saturday evening, everyone enjoyed
the entertainments supplied at Scooter's,
situated across the highway from Wheels
Inn. A live band supplied the entertainment.
centering around the music of the '50s and
'60s. Unfortunately, we didn't stay as long
as we had planned — we were beat — a hard
day of relaxation was catching up on us!
I advise this vacation a MUST for
everyone, although I would make a few
alterations the next time. First of all, our
children will also come with us, for there is
an endless number of activities for children
to enjoy. This is right up their alley, as they
love sports. Secondly. and most important,
our weekend would be extended to at least a
week another time!
