More work to be done on the
MacNauQhton-Morrison Trail
EXETER — More fundraising is
needed for new improvements to be
made on the MacNaughton-
Morrison Trail stretching from
MacNaughton Park in Exeter to
Morrison Dam.
More than $410,000 has been
raised for the trail since the project
began and another $25,000 will be
needed for improvements being
made over the summer
The trail along the north side of
the river is being built this summer,
according to the ABCA Stewardship
and Conservation Lands Supervisor,
Kate Monk, and a portion of the
south trail that had been washed-
out by the spring thaw has been
relocated farther from the river-
bank
Two new lookouts will be built
along the trail — the Relouw look-
out, donated by Tony and Fran
Relouw, and the Frayne lookout,
donated by Rick Frayne and family.
Mr. O'Brien's shop class from
South Huron District High School
(SHDHS) created a kiosk and some
benches for the trail, which are to
be installed. The money for the
kiosk was donated from the SHDHS
50th reunion, with labour donated
by the high school. The trail com-
mittee funded the materials for the
benches which the students built.
Later this summer, plans are set to
build the Stirling Bridge between
the north and south banks of the
Ausable River.
"People of all ages are using the
trail," Monk said. "That was our
vision when we started building it."
Among the trail's upcoming events
are the first ever South Huron Trail
run Aug. 8, which is an 8 km run
from Exeter's MacNaughton Park to
the Morrison Dam Conservation
Area along the MacNaughton
Morrison Trail.
The trail's official opening is
scheduled for Oct. 3, which is
Ontario Hiking Day. The trail open-
ing will feature a ceremony, a walk
to Stirling Bridge and refreshments.
There is no charge to walk or cycle
the MacNaughton-Morrison trail,
but dirt bikes and ATVs are prohib-
ited.
If you would like to make a dona-
tion to the trail project, please con-
tact a member of the committee.
Donations of $10 or more are eligi-
ble for a tax receipt and donations
of $100 or more will be recognized
on a commemorative plaque at one
of the kiosks. People interested in
offering volunteer services can con-
tact Monk at 235-2610.

cooking with memories
BY DEBBY WAGLER
MY LAST RECIPE IN A CAMPING MODE IS TINFOIL MEALS.
THESE ARE GREAT MEALS YOU CAN ASSEMBLE AND
COOK OVER THE FIRE. THEY HAVE VERY LITTLE MESS AND
EVERYONE CAN TAILOR THE MEAL TO THEIR LIKING. HERE
ARE TWO DIFFERENT IDEAS. REMEMBER TO GREASE THE
FOIL WITH SOME MARGARINE AND TO AT LEAST DOUBLE
WRAP THE MEAL. TURN FREQUENTLY AND ENJOY!
POTATOES IN FOIL
Clean a large potato and slither in thin slices not quite
cutting through to the base. Between each slice put an
onion slice, alternating with a cheese slice. Cover with
a healthy pat of butter or margarine and sprinkle with
garlic salt and black pepper. Wrap up and bake about
30 minutes or till soft. Serve with sour cream and
or salsa. WOW!
TINFOIL MEAL
Place a variety of sliced vegetables on a large piece of
greased foil. (Sliced potatoes, onion rings, slithered
carrot, chunks of zucchini, mushroom and or other
veggie choices.) Put a large ball of ground beef on top
and season with salt and pepper. Put several large
spoonfuls of your choice of BBQ sauce, tomato soup
or mushroom soup and then carefully seal foil. Double
wrap and cook over the fire for about 45 min. Eat
ri ht out of the foil!
Wet N'Wild
EXETER —"The first month at
South Huron Playground has
been a blast!
Our trip to the Toronto Zoo was
a success, so we would like to
thank all of the volunteers for
helping out.
We are finishing up "Celebrate
the Holidays" week this week, so
don't forget to wear your cos-
tumes on Aug. 5 for Halloween
Day.
Aug. 9 marks the start of "Wet
N' Wild Fun" week. Although
kids need to remember to bring their bathing
suits, towels, and sunscreen every day this week,
these items will be especially important on
Tuesday and Wednesday because we will be going
swimming both afternoons.
Reminder: If possible, kids should bring a wire
hanger on Aug. 10 for bubble fun. Also, Aug. 11
we will be doing tye-dye, so kids need to bring a
white t -shirt.
Our next trip is to Sportsworld in Kitchener on
Aug. 12. There are still spots available for this trip,
so call us to sign up at 235-2361.
Because of the trip to Sportsworld, there will be
no supervised activities at Playground on that day.
Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.
The last trip of the summer will be an overnight
camping trip on Aug. 19. There are also still spots
available for this trip, so call to book a spot, or for
more information. We hope everyone is having a
good summer, and we will see some of you soon!
