Clinton News-Record, 1985-4-24, Page 30Page 6A—CLINTON NEWS -RECORD, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 24, 1985 Vohinteers honored On April 15, volunteers from across On- tario were honored for giving of their time so selflessly in an attempt to help others and promote their community. "We are extremely fortunate to have our volunteers - those good neighbors of our society," noted Susan Fish, Minister of Citizenship and Culture. "There are thousands of them throughout this province, going about their duties quietly, not looking for recognition or awards, only wanting to make our world a little better for everyone. This is our way of saying a special thank you to them." Recipients of the awards were nominated by community organizations. The Bayfield and Clinton Local Architectural Con- servation Advisory Committees (LACAC) and the Blyth Festival nominated volunteers from their organizations. They are' Gwen Pemberton, Bayfield LACAC; Doris Batkin, Clinton LACAC;, Lynda Lentz and Sheila Richards of the Blyth Festival. Gwen Pemberton Mrs. Pemberton was instrumental in re- establishing the Bayfield LACAC approx- imately 10 years ago after moving to the community from London in 1969. She had been chairman of the committee until earlier this year when she resigned her posi- tion. Mrs. Pemberton brought her interest of conserving heritage buildings with her from London and does not take all the credit for making LACAC a working committee, but gives the majority of the credit to the people of Bayfield. "The ratepayers joined together and helped get LACAC re -activated by taking a petition to council," Mrs. Pemberton ex- plained. She has also helped set up Heart Week in Bayfield, sat on the village council as a councillor from 1978-82, and is presently the president of the Bayfield UCW. Mrs. Pemberton is modest when she talks about being honored with the volunteer pin. "There are many other people who are much more deserving of the award. I ac- cepted it for all of the other volunteers as well." Doris Batkin Clinton LACAC nominated Mrs. Batkin to receive the volunteer award because, "she has been a tireless worker in various organizations, local history books and more. In local history, dating back to the 1940s, she has been an invaluable resource person, maintaining liaison between several heritage groups in the region. Her length of service and holding of various offices have provided an important continuity in heritage efforts." Mrs. Batkin was also a founding member of the Clinton LACAC in 1978.

She has also completed 12 years as secretary - treasurer of the Huron county Historical Society. Mrs. Batkin recently received, a life membership from the Clinton Women's In- stitute where she served as president. Mrs. Batkin had not anticipated receiving, an award for her volunteer efforts. "I didn't know anything about it so I was surprised, but it is real nice," she said. Lynda Lentz Sheila Richards Lynda Lentz and Sheila Richards receiv- ed their nomination from the Blyth Festival in recognition of the time and effort they have put into their duties. Mrs. Richards is in her eighth year with the Festival, serving as board president for 1985. She is responsible for co-ordinating the participants' efforts to turn out the best pro- duct possible, and at the same time, make the best use of everyone's talents. She is proud of the fact that'1the Blyth Festival has ,a working board which means that input is received from all members. Mrs. Richards' tasks also require her to provide back up for artistic director Doris Batkin Katherine Kaszas by being on the lookout for new ideas and projects. She is constantly looking for ways to enhance the organiza- tion's role within the community. "The president is required to play an ac- tive role in all theatre activities and projects and be conscious of the role which the theatre plays in the community," she stated. Mrs. Richards became involved in the Blyth Festival because she has "always been interested in performing arts and music, but I never wanted to be an actress." Along with her work with the Blyth Festival, Mrs. Richards is a member of the 75th Anniversary Girl Guides of Canada and has been involved in Guiding all her life. She also works with the Brussels United Church children's choir, and is a member of the Blyth Festival Singers. Mrs. Lentz has been on the Blyth Festival Board of Directors since -1977. At that time, her main job as a volunteer was to fill a void in the fund raising area and over the years she became more involved. At the end of 1984, her volunteering led to her present job as Development Co-ordinator of Fund Rais- ing, She became involved with the Festival because she needed an outlet. • "I was home with a small child and need - Business and Professional Directory REPAIR - Clinton Electric © White -Westinghouse tint. t p e r i ri t Appliances Sales and Service APPLIANCE,REPAIRS'.

Can you imagine the first person to eat a lobster? He must have been brave Even today - millions of years after that first taste — some people can't bring themselves to crack open the bright red animal on their plate Pity — the white meat hiding underneath is deli- cious. Lobsters are difficult to eat because their hones are on the outside — they have what's called an exoskeleton Imagine how difficult it would be to move if yor skin were made of hone! Lobster have 10 legs, so they get along just fine. People who eat lobster need special tools to g"t through the hard expskeleton, You could say that lobsters are left handed — their left claw is much larger than their right. If you're ever handling a live lobster, this is the claw to watch out for. It's called a "crusher" and that should give you a fair idea of what it can do Many people wisely tape this claw shut. There are several types of lobsters, just as there are several types of dogs The lobsters we eat are called "Homarus Americanus" and are found in the salty ocean water off the east coast This type of lobster is the St. Bernard of lobsters The largest Homarus in the world weighed 19.25 kg and is on display in the Boston Museum of Science. Fishermen catch lobsters in traps, or pots that are dropped over the side of Cape Islander boaLs The lobsters crawl in and are kept alive until just before eating.
