What a great show and it's just getting bigger and better every year. Thanks to the hard work of executive and commit- tee in charge along with president Mary Becker, the coaches, parents and all the great skaters, both young and old. The Hensall Arena was full and several lucky people won door prizes. The H.O.M.E. Bursary Ice Show will be held on Sat., April 10 in Plattsville at 1 p.m. and Valerie Hosang will represent the Zurich Skating Club. Hosang was named skater of the year.

The Zurich Minor Athletic Association held their year- end awards ceremony at the Zurich Public School on Sunday afternoon for all hockey teams and their fami- lies. I was asked to write that the Bank of Montreal staff in Zurich would like to thank the community for their sup- port and concerns over the past few weeks. A family get-together was held at the home of Shirley and Bill Janke in Exeter on Sunday to celebrate the third birthday of grandson Faisal, son of Sara and Jamie Hay of Brantford.

PLANS AND RENDERINGS J COI'YRIGH' JENISW HOUSE DESIGN LIMITED inse:Eia' i I MAIN FLOOR PLAN 1619 SQ- Ft (154.4 M') WIDTH (14.3M) DEPTH -S2'-3" (15.9M) r ti PLAN NO. 'H 2-3-715 TOTAL 1619 SQ. FT. (156.4 M') Distinctive Basement Plan H2-3-715 This flexible basement plan combines elements of an old-fashioned farmhouse with the most popular features in contemporary designs. A traditional bayed covered porch makes an appealing first impression. Visitors climb two steps from the home's courtyard driveway to the front entry. A second set of steps provides side access. The porch surrounds a den with optional french doors to the exterior. A laundry room and a large unfinished basement are also found on this level of the home. Upstairs, the main living area includes three bedrooms, a great room and a family kitchen. The great room is situated over the den and shares the same bayed shape as the porch. A fireplace with a built-in TV entertainment unit is angled so that it can also be seen from the dining area and kitchen. Numerous windows provide good ventilation and ensure this family living space will receive lots of natural light. The dining area is large enough for a big, country table and can accommodate a built-in buffet if desired. A prep island in the adjoining kitchen has additional seating for two people at one end, where the countertop is raised from working height A greenhouse window over the sinks makes a good place to grow herbs. The kitchen also has a door that leads to a partly covered sun deck. The three bedrooms and the main three-piece bathroom are located just off the landing at the top of the stairs. The master suite has double doors, two walk-in closets and a four -piece en suite bathroom. A boxed -out sitting area with a window (over the garage) would be a good place to put a writing desk. The two additional bedrooms have windows overlooking the backyard. This design measures 47 feet wide by 52 feet, 3 inches deep and has 1,619 square feet of living space.
