Milk committee seeks educator
Hundreds of students and
dozens of cups of pudding
later, Kim Baan of Walton is
winding up her year as the
Huron County Dairy Educator.
Kim has been teaching
county students about the bene-
fits of milk and milk products,
often making pudding to give
students a tasty example of
what she means. .She .also
informs pupils about the busi-
ness aspect of dairy farming.
By July, when her year will
end, she'll have visited over 20
schools and taken part in two
barn tours where students learn
first hand where the milk they
drink comes from.
"Kim has had a great year
and has really enjoyed working
with the school children," says
Dairy Educator Co-ordinator,
Lisa Boonstoppel-Pot.
When Miss Baan wraps up
her year, the Huron County
Milk Committee will be look-
ing for a new man or woman
to take on the exciting task of
being an educator.
Happenin' Hikers
at it again
BY KATE JIMMISTON
On Saturday, May 6 The
Happenin' Hikers went
back into the woods. It was
a natural forest with no
paths.
When club members went
in, the first thing they did
was called 'Find Your
Tree'. One person closed'
their eyes and turned
around three times. Another
person led them to a tree.
The person feels it careful-
ly. Then they are led back
to where they started, tum
you around and have to
find their tree.
Deeper in the woods club
members scrambled up a
hill to find a trail worn by
foxes. Climbing down they
spotted a racoon. Down by
the river saw minnows, a
snake, some frogs, and a
kind of fish. There was lots
of mud. They went back
through the woods and
there were some deer
tracks. The toes were
spread apart so the deer
was moving for fun. If the
toes were together, the deer
would running for 'deer'
life. The club's next meet-
ing will be May 10 from 7
p.m. to 9 p.m.

young girls need apply. This is

where a knowledgeable farm
wife or the farmer himself
would be the perfect person to
promote the industry they work
in, "explains Mrs. Boonstoppel-
Pot.
The new Dairy Educator will
also be asked to coordinate his
or her own activities. The dual
