JAMIE DALE gets serious with snow.
SHOVELLING A DRIVEWAY doesn't have to be work, as Krystal,
Stacy and Jamie Dale can tell you. If you make the snow into a
too
pile in the middle of the driveway you can tunnel through it, or
jump on it, Corbett photo.
PROGRAMMING THE COMPUTER - Mara Burton of Bayfield, front, and Susan
McLachlan of Seaforth, both students of Huron Centennial School in Brucefield, teach
this ICON computer vocabulary that will enable them to issue a number of commands
at a later date. The students are part of an enrichment program at the school.

Students enjoy computer study
Students in the enrichment program at
Huron Centennial School in Brucefield are
getting increased exposure to computers,
and are enjoying the experience.
For four mornings over the next two
weeks, 12 Grade 4 and 5 students, recogniz-
ed as having special skills and abilities, will
be pulled out of their regular classes to learn
the Logo Program on the school's ICON
computers. The program uses geometic
shape and design and promotes the child's
development of logical thinking.
"It teaches them sequencing '(to' id Paul
Dyk, the school's Grade 8 .: Special
Resource teacher, adding is learn
how to program different shapes and sizes
into the computer, then combine and move
those shapes around to create a number of
other, larger pictures. One such picture the
students will be creating is of a house and its
surrounding landscape.
`It's good for developing logical think-
ing," said Mr. Dyk.
iue students are given a tisk to do; rid
have to come up with a number of sequenc
to complete that task. It forces them to think
through each step. The computer has a
great memory, but it'll only do what you ask
it to.
But the extra computer program is view-
ed as more than a teacher of logical think-
ing, by the students taking it.
"It's fun watching all the different
shapes," said Mara Burton of Bayfield.
"Sometimes it's hard to follow directions,
but it's fun to experiment."
"I like it because you get to make dif-
ferent designs," said Wilton Wong of
Seaforth, adding his preference was the cir-
cle design.
"It's fun. I like doing computers and mak-
ing your own designs," said Hillary Beard of
Bayfield,
"Sometimes it's hard to do though.
Especially when it (the computer) says you
did something wrong," added Susan
McLachlan of Seaforth.
Bauer Travel Service c
Bauer Travel Service of Seaforth has
changed hands. The business was purchas-
ed by The Travel Merchant Inc, of Stratford
on January 3, 1988.
Former owner Harold Bauer, in partner-
ship with his daughter Linda Goffar, has
been in the travel business for the past 11
years, and has operated the Seaforth
business for nine years. Mr. Bauer, along
with Bonnie Johnston and Gaby Costello,
will continue to work at Bauer Travel, but
ges hands
Mrs. Goffar decided to mo on to another
line of work. Mr. Bauer sa , s by selling the
business he is now less loc d -in. He says,
however, he still enjoys wo ' t : in the
travel business and with current cust . ers,
and will work with Bauer travel as a sales
agent for some time.
George Cifa is the General Manager of
The Travel Merchant, and the Seaforth
store is the fourth he owns outright. He has
three other stores in St. Marys; Stafford,
Winter Interlude unofficial
start to hospital fundraising
Anyone wanting a break in . the season,
could' look to Winter Interlude, to find it.
The brainchild of the Lab Staff of the
Seaforth Community Hospital, the people
responsible for last year's successful Teddy
Bear Clinic, February 11's Winter Interlude
is intended as a special night out, as well as
a means to raise funds for the hospital
expansion.
The culmination of some brainstorming
by the lab staff for a different type of fun-
draising idea, the event features a deluxe
meal catered by Velma Miller, dancing to
the music of London's Dance Sound, as well
as a number of draws for prizes - including a
Trip for Two to Las Vegas, and spot dance
prizes.
At $100 per couple, organizers say they
realize the evening may be a bit pricey for
some, but hope people will consider where
the proceeds are going. Tax receipts will be
issued for a portion of the ticket price.
"It's going to be a special evening," said
Linda Cannon, "even the decorations are
going to be special." She added that lab
staff, other hospital staff and Jean Wolfe
and Steve Hildebrand will be responsible for
the decorations for the evening, which will
feature among other things, a trellis and
lamp posts. Organizers want the rest of the
decor to remain a surprise.
"We're doing our best and we think it'll be
nice," she said.
"It'll offer people a break from winter, yet
it's far enough from Christmas."
Mrs. Cannon noted the event is shaping up
to be a romantic evening, but said

organizers are hoping that doesn't deter any
people who would like to come on their own.
Tickets however, are sold on a per couple
basis. She noted the event isn't intended as
an official kick qff to the hospital expansion
fundraising campaign, but just happened to
fall in before its start.
To date approximately 50 tickets to
Winter Interlude have been sold, but
organizers are hoping to sell 150 before
February 11. Tickets may be purchased at
the hospital or from any hospital employee.
Those with the most information however,
include lab staffers, Doug Halfpenny, Linda
Cannon, Bonnie Beimers, Joyce Hugill and
Leona Sharpe.
and New Hamburg.
Mr. Cifa says he plans on making few
changes at Bauer Travel over the .next few
years, but the business will continue to
operate under the Bauer name Staff will
also remain the same, other than Mrs. Gof-
far having moved on, and Bonnie Johnson
having been promoted to manager.
There has been some remodeling of the of-
fice done over recent weeks, and the outside
the building will be overhauled when fair
weather returns.
Mr. Cifa says there will be some new ser-
vices available at Bauer Travel. As a result
of its affiliation with the Travel Merchant,
for ex pie, Bauer Travel will have access
to more packages.
Mr, 'ifa says he purchased Bauer Travel
because it fits in well with the rest of his
stores and .further extends the services the
Travel Merchant can offer,
"Our ideal is small town service," he ex-
plains. "I like the idea of the personalized
service you get from small towns."
Mr. Cifa says he is not exactly a stranger
to Seaforth, and from playing hockey he
knows some of the Doigs, McLlwains and
other Seaforth people.
"We just hope we can continue to serve
the people in the manner they're accustom-
ed to; and maybe even improve on service a
little bit," says Bauer Travel's new owner.
