(photo/submitted) Panther Profile EXETER — Last week at South Huron was just cool. We had the pleasure of hearing motivational speak- er DynaMike speak to the students about bullying. The presentation started off with an amazing display of sword juggling. That's right, I said sword juggling — with the possibility of the swords just falling right through DynaMike and killing him, but fortunately, that didn't happen at all. Mike had a positive message, though — that bullying is wrong. He spoke about how we can all lend a hand to helping eliminate bullying in our school. He spoke about the neg- ative effects of bullying and the posi- tive aspects of just being someone's friend and giving them a smile every day. Coming up today is the Music Department's Annual Spring Concert! It will include performances by the Grade 9 band, Intermediate Concert band, Senior Concert band, Black Jazz band and Choir. Songs will be performed that the bands have been practicing since September. They will also be performing these songs next week at the Musicfest Regionals in London. Coming events: Wed., Feb. 23 • Music Department's Spring Concert • Boys basketball Thurs., Feb. 24 • Girls volleyball • Girls hockey AMANDA ZEHR PANTHER PROFILE Waterway safety AUSABLE BAYFIELD - Tobogganing, skating and winter walks down by the water are some of the activities children love to do during March Break. However, local water- courses can be extremely dangerous this time of year. Rivers, creeks, streams and ditches may seem safe with the colder tem- peratures experienced in January, but it only takes a couple of mild winter days to change that. Dozens of fatalities occur in Ontario each year because of those who take unnecessary risks around water. Matt Redmond, Conservation Education Specialist of the Ausable Bayfie1dGonservation Authority (ABCA) is visit- ing local schools to pre- sent the Spring Water Awareness Program to students from kinder- garten to Grade 8. The program covers a number of spring hazards such as thin ice, flooding, slippery stream banks and hypothermia to list a few, states Redmond. The program has pre- sentations, demonstra- tions, games and activity sheets directed towards primary, junior and inter- mediate students. In the hour-long junior and intermediate pro- grams, students can learn about making safe deci- sions during spring thaw along with some informa- tion on floods and flood forecasting. The primary grades receive a similar message through a short story and games. Education is the key to keeping children safe and away from dangerous waterways, said Redmond. To book the Spring Water Awareness Program at no cost in your local school, contact the ABCA at 235-2610 or Matt Redmond at mred- mond@abca. on. ca. Springtime tree planting season coming AUSABLE BAYFIELD - Even though winter is still evident, the Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority (ABCA) is gear- ing up for the popular springtree planting pro- gram. The final day to order for this season is Feb. 28 with trees arriving in mid April, said Kathy Hodgins, ABCA Land Stewardship Specialist. Reforestation is one of the most visible achieve- ments of the ABCA's long- standing history in pre- serving, protecting, improving the natural landscape. Since the 1970's, the ABCA has been selling seedlings, shrubs and larger native trees to landowners for wind- break and erosion control projects. Trees offer benefits to the environment as a source of food and shel- ter, filtering air pollutants, habitat for birds and ani- mals, protecting soil, water conservation and absorbing carbon dioxide to produce oxygen. There are grants avail- able for specific projects to improve water quality orincrease wildlife habitat such as planting buffer strips or creating corri- dors. If you want to do your part and move the cur- rent 13 per cent forest cover towards the target of 20 per cent,contact your municipal office or the ABCA at 235-2610 before Feb. 28 for an order form or grant infor- mation.
