reacquainted with an old favorite. For this reason
folks are invited to lace up their skates and head to
the Bayfield Arena.
Skating is offered free to the public on the afternoon
of Jan. 31 from 1-3 p.m. due to the generosity of

In addition to public skating on Sundays there is now
more time available for youngsters who love to be
out on the ice. Due to popular demand, ice time is
now being offered on Mondays at 7 p.m. for kids'
pickup hockey. New players are always welcome.

Bayfield resident, Natalie Tarnawski, is one of five
Community Curators at the Huron County Museum.
She selected this 1940s era Wurlitzer Juke Box as
the item in the museum collection that most
resonated with her to be featured in a new exhibit.

Week 5 Issue 343
Five members of the community were asked to
select one object from the collection to be
placed on display at the museum. They were
asked to choose an object they felt a
connection with - a story to share perhaps? The
choices were surprising to both museum staff
and to the community curators themselves.
"We strongly believe that the museum should
develop opportunities for the community to
participate in creating exhibits. We want to
make connections between the community and
objects in the collection," said Curator of
Engagement and Dialogue, Will Kernohan.
This is a new initiative that the museum is
experimenting with and hopes that when
visitors see this exhibit they will say, "Hey, I
want to do that".
The Community Curators exhibit was unveiled
at an informal reception at the Huron County
Museum recently.
The Huron County Museum is located at 110
North Street, Goderich. Winter hours are
currently in effect: Tuesday to Friday, 10 a.m. to
4:30 p.m. (open until 8 p.m. on Thursday evenings) and Saturday from 1-4:30 p.m.

"The list of past winners of this award is very
impressive," said Brian Horner, general manager and
secretary -treasurer of ABCA. "There have also been
many excellent nominees in addition to those people
and groups who have been presented with the
award."
The success of work to protect water, soil, and living
things is only possible because of the partnership
with landowners, residents, community groups,
businesses, and other partners, according to Horner.
"This is one of the ways we can say thank you for
that vital work they do," he said.
ABCA presents the award each year at the annual
conservation awards evening in March. The
Conservationist of the Year receives a framed
limited -edition conservation print as a prize and the
conservation authority also makes a donation
towards a tree and plaque at a Commemorative
Woods site maintained by the Ausable Bayfield
Conservation Foundation.

MILK BAG MATS
Students at Huron Centennial School in Brucefield
are taking part in the Homeless Connect initiative
weaving sleeping mats for the homeless in Toronto
using milk bags. Donations of 100 per cent acrylic
yarn would also be appreciated.
The group of 25 youths has to date made almost
three -dozen mats but to keep the momentum going
they need more clean, 4L milk bags. It takes 100 to
125 bags to make one mat and about three hours to
complete one.
Currently there is a drop off location for these bags at
the Nip N' Tuck and the library in Bayfield and people
are encouraged to save them from their recycling box
and drop them off.
As the initiative grows the young people hope to
make mats for homeless veterans and supply other
agencies in cities like London with them as well.

The Bayfield River Valley Trail Association
(BRVTA) hosted their annual Winter Walk on Jan.
16 along the Varna Nature Trails at the Stanley
Complex in Varna.
Board member Elise Feltrin welcomed hikers,
signed up new trail members and renewed
memberships for 2016.
Twenty people hiked along the Mavis' Trail, while
30 people enjoyed the shorter more easily
accessed Taylor Trail. Conditions were a bit icy
following some rain and overnight freezing.
The Taylor Trail is a level 2 moderate trail, about
1.2 km long and has been set up as a mobility
trail with asphalt crumble surface. This is a great
trail for multi -generational outings as the surface
is more even and can accommodate strollers and

ground. It also makes a great cross country ski or
snowshoe trail when there is snow.
The Mavis' Trail is a level 3 trail as there are
some steeper inclines and rougher surface
conditions.This trail is about 3 km long. Both trails
are accessible year round.
Hike leaders on hand were Pam and Chris
Bowers, Roger Lewington and Adriaan
Schreuder. The BRVTA also took a moment to
recognize the contributions to the trail over the
years by Jane Davidson McKee. She has been
an avid hiker and hike leader over the years. She
has been an inspiration to many BRVTA and
Maitland Trail members.
Snowshoes were provided by Tyler Hessel, owner
of Outside Projects in Bayfield, to test the trails.
Modern snowshoes are great for winter hiking as
they are light weight and give great footing and
stability when walking.
Starting at noon at the Stanley Complex a hot dog
lunch was served along with hot apple cider. Chef
Garnet McBride and board member Margaret
McBride made sure plenty of fried onions were
available.
Hope Brock, of the Ausable Bayfield
Conservation Authority (ABCA), was on hand to
share information about the Bayfield Watershed
Plan and other Conservation Authority projects in
the area. There were additional displays set up by
the BRVTA and the Huron Tract Land Trust
Conservancy.
The BRVTA is a volunteer run, not for profit hiking
organization, and a member of Hike Ontario.
Guided hikes are offered twice monthly by
certified hike leaders. For further information on

LAKE HURON
f?LiL l;SWt. t.fA9tIF:!)
So we enjoyed a weekend away with friends recently and drove to the sunny south also known as Windsor. It was my second
time to enjoy entertainment at the Coliseum in Caesar's Casino but it was a first for my companions. I loved the venue the first
time I visited and was really looking forward to seeing the "Dancing with the Stars Live Tour" performance on the stage there.
The space holds 5,000 people and I don't think there could be a bad seat.
It was so much fun to watch the professional dancers weave their magic across the stage captivating the audience with their
talent. The set was a simple series of stacked black boxes transformed into whatever they needed to advance the stories with
light and the projection of images on the boxes.
A highlight of the show came when they invited three members of the audience to come up and dance with the professionals.
In under -five minutes these people were asked to pick a dance style and a song and then strut their stuff. All did really well and when one young lad of
about 20 years dressed in a white t -shirt, baggy pants and a toque was asked what he thought about dancing with his scantily dressed pro he said in a low
voice, somewhat reminiscent of the "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure" era, "I loved it".
The other highlight was listening to the live show's only "celebrity' from the 2015 fall season of the TV program. Alex Skarlatos, shared tidbits about his life
since that day last August when he and his buddies thwarted a terrorist attack on a Paris train. And the boy can dance too!
Following the show we enjoyed some live music, a nice dinner and a few pulls of the slot handles but nothing greater than the 10 -cent machines. They
have penny, two cent and nickel machines there so you can have a little fun without necessarily breaking the bank.
Perhaps the only aggravating thing about our winter escape was the fire alarm that went off about 2 a.m. that thankfully turned out to be a false one
made it difficult to fall to sleep again but as we were on the tenth of 22 floors I was grateful to know there was a seemingly good plan in place.
The next day we went to the number one breakfast place in Windsor for our morning repast. If you ever get a chance, check out The Squirrel Cage in
downtown Windsor. It is an inconspicuous little place hidden down a side alley. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed his/her meal choices. I tried the Eggs
Charlotte — a Benny with smoked salmon instead of peameal bacon. It included generous fried potatoes and fresh greens with a Balsamic vinaigrette as
well as fruit for garnish. Not a coffee person, I paired my meal with freshly squeezed orange juice. The resulting dining experience was pure ambrosia.
And that folks is how I spent my winter break. — Melody
