Times Advocate, 1999-10-27, Page 27Wednesday, October 27, 1999 Exeter Times -Advocate 27 Scouts and ABCA pianatvainuts EXETER — Exeter Scouts and the Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority are doing the work of squirrels this fall by reforesting an open field near Exeter with walnuts and other tree seeds. Squirrels often bury walnuts and acorns in the fall and use the cache later for food. However, squirrels often forget where they planted the nuts, allowing new trees to grow. "Darrell Keys, a landowner west of Exeter, wants this field planted in trees because it is difficult to work with today's farm equipment," said ABCA Forestry Technician Stephen Harburn. If anyone is interested in helping with the project by donating walnuts or providing labour, contact scout leader Darrell Keys at 237-3782. Drivers beware of deer on Huron County roads HURON CTY.• — The Huron OPP are" warning motorists to be on the lookout for deer on the roads over the next two months. Const. Don Shropshall said there have been 118 accidents on Huron roads involving deer in the first nine months of this year. The Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) has indicated deer popula- tions in the county have increased over the last few years due to the mild winters we have had and it's estimated there is over 8,000 deer in the county. Shropshall said deer movement will increase in October and November because 'these are the deer breeding months. Deer are usually seen around dusk and dawn. but a number of accidents have happened during the day and evening. Shropshall asks all motorists to drive with caution near woodlots where trees and brush come close to the road on both sides. Other areas to be care- ful near include swampy areas and cornfields where deer feed. Shropshall suggests dri- vers slow down and scan both sides of the road. If you see a deer it usually means there are three or more since they travel in groups. Shropshall said drivers often hit the second or third deer when they cross roads as a group. All accidents where there are injuries or dam- age more than $1,000 must be reported to the OPP and if the deer is killed the Ministry of MNR must be notified. Drivers may keep the meat after killing a deer if they wish. News from St.Anne's BY PHILIP J. McMILLAN The students of Sty Anne's will host their Halloween dance this Thursday. It's a costume dance, so dress up and get involved. Make it a great evening. The walkathon was great success thanks to all who helped. A special thanks to all who sponsored students on their walk. As we approach November we begin to get con- cerned about the possibility of bad weather and the potential for school closures. Parents are reminded that any decision to close schools is made very early in the morning after discussion with the bus companies that transport students to St. Anne's. The minute the decision to close a route is made we will let you know by radio. Listen to CKNX FM 102, CBC FM 93.5, or CFPL at radio 98. This week we are in the last full week of rehearsals for OUR TOWN. Watch your local papers for adver- tisements about the show. The cast will be going to Huronview to showcase pieces of the show for the resi- dents. It's our hope that the show will trigger memo- ries of years gone by and the residents will share their experiences with our student actors. Some students are traveling to Ottawa next week to take part in a great conference on the Sanctity of Life. Members of "The Students for Life" group are doing some fundraising to offset their trip costs. A second group of students will be attending the Northern Lights Conference in Windsor, Ontario.

In the nineties, the basement entry home found another market: older families with grown children still living at home, and families wanting an in-law suite for aging parents. The design was purchased with the intent to create two separate units instead of one. As a result, the main floor became more elaborate, and the exterior more in keeping with the higher end homes common to veterans of the home market. The exterior of this home is right in style for 1994 boasting a combination of stucco and brick, and a high arched entranceway. A finished den, strategically placed in front, is ideally located for a horse office. A shared laundry room has two entrances. A large unfinished area provides plenty of space for future finishing. A curved staircase leads upstairs to a deluxe layout with large room sizes and all of the amenities normally found -in larger homes.
