All ages and fit - Bannockburn Wildlife Area project By Nina Van Lieshout TIMES -ADVOCATE STAFF EXETER — The Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority (ABCA) held a meeting Aug. 24. There were no peti- tions or delegations. Educational pro- ject in Bluewater The Friends of the Bayfield River (FOBR) are raising money for an educational project at Bannockburn Wildlife Area. The 61 -acre project property is in the Stanley Ward of Bluewater on Bannockburn Line, bought in 1973 by the Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority (ABCA).

The objective of the project, providing recreation and an appreciation for nature, will be met by providing directional signage, education brochures, maps and benches. The project budget is about $10,000. Several organiza- tions have funded the project in Huron County. The ABCA is plan- ning to launch this project Oct. 1.

Scrapbooking event to raise funds GRAND BEND — Scrapbooking is a hot trend riding the waves fast and hard into Grand Bend. Area residents are invited to catch the wave during a non- stop scrapbooking event to raise funds for the Grand Bend Youth Centre Sept. 16 for 12 hours of scrapbooking fun. The hobby of scrap - booking, although not new, has recently regained popularity in the western United States, becoming more and more popular, migrating north to Canada. A scrap day or `crop' as it is often referred to, is some- thing like a quilting bee in which hobbyists come together to scrapbook. Some crops are set up as an all day affair; others are offered as retreats or vacations. These tradi- tions have been slow to catch on but `ScrapDay' is bringing the world of scrap - booking to Grand Bend. "The creative art of scrapbooldng provides individuals with the opportunity to experi- ence and respond to specific moments in new ways," says event organizer Kim Widdis. "Time spent looking at photographs, journal- ing, and working with different types of media can be helpful in pro- cessing and working through all types of feelings. This creative process can be extremely helpful to those who are or have encountered stressful situations. Besides, it's a lot of fun and anyone can do it," she says. `ScrapDay' starts at 9 a.m. at the Grand Bend Royal Canadian Legion and runs non-stop until 9 p.m. The cost to par- ticipate is $45, which includes lunch and din- ner. There will also be door prizes and raffles and participants will have the opportunity to buy scrapbooking sup- plies from a variety of vendors. For more informa- tion, contact Widdis at 238-6390 or grand- bendscrapbooker@hot- mail. com POLICE BRIEF Car damaged EXETER — On Sept. 2 between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. a red 1993 Chevy Corsica was damaged while parked at Hansen's Independent Grocery in Exeter.
