THURSDAY, AUGUST 13, 1998 THE NEW TANNER Blue Springs goes private STENCIL AUTHOR: Sandra Buckingham, second from left, well known artisan and author, visited Paintin' Friends recently. In the photo are, from left, Cyndi Knill-Pearson, Ruth Kranendonk and Debbi Lewis with the noted author. -- Eve Martin photo Noted author visits Friends Paintin' Friends Decora- tive Art Studio was recently honoured with a special visit from Sandra Buckingham, an artist and designer of the popular Buckingham Sten- cils. Although Sandra has scientific degrees in physics and math, she has spent the last 12 years expanding her career in the home decorat- ing industry. What started out as a hobby soon grew out of control, into teaching, writing books and finally, with her sister Linda as a partner, into the manufactur- ing of laser cut stencils for the hobby and home decorat- ing do-it-yourself market. Brenda LaRose and Ruth Kranendonk, co-owners of Paintin' Friends, offer a Buckingham Stencilling Demonstration about three times a year. Cyndi Knill- Pearson, who is the sales rep for the manufacturer, demon- strates to students just how easy roller stencilling can be adapted to decorate walls, furniture, fabric and gifts. A high density sponge roller and a little acrylic paint sim- plifies the craft of stencilling. The classroom at Paintin' Friends has been stencilled to show a variety of techniques and ideas. Sandra's latest book, We are quite fortunate to be so close to parts of the Bruce Trail and its side trails, so this week I thought I would tell you about another short hike that you might enjoy this summer. Some re- ally great trails can be found at the corner of 27 Sideroad and Fallingbrook Trail. To get there, take Hwy. 7 towards Georgetown and turn North onto Trafalgar Road, then immediately turn right and follow that road towards the Silver Creek Education Centre. After crossing the 8th Line you are on 27 Sideroad. Continue until you come to the corner with Fallingbrook Trail, and right in front of you is the opening to the trail. There is room to park along the side of the road. At the head of the trail take the Roberts side trail. It will take you though S , LEATHERTOWN FLEA MARKET See you at the Fair! JENNIFER AITKEN, Fair Queen 1997-98 a forest and valley with plenty of huge trees and moss covered rocks. When you come to the pond, take the time to step out onto one of the observation platforms and watch for turtles, frogs, and other wildlife, and take a close up look at the water and all the life it supports. The trail is 1.3 km long, rising out of the valley, until it intersects again with the Bruce Trail where you take the right hand branch of the Bruce and follow the white markers back to your start- ing spot. The side trail is fairly easy terrain, and the forest is quiet and soothing. The 1 km long stretch of the Bruce is slightly more chal- lenging than the side trail, as you are often picking your way through rocks, but over- all the trail should not be too hard for anyone over 5 or 6.

"Blue Springs is experi- encing very strong demand and market appeal in the west end of the Greater To- ronto area, and accordingly, will be converted to a ClubLinks private course ef- fective in the 1999 golf sea- 11 son. Appropriate golf course and club house improve- ments will take place in 1998 and 1999." Bruce Simmonds, presi- dent and CEO of ClubLink stated that the addition of daily fee courses acquired after the close of the golf sea- son in 1997 (including Blue Springs), together with a sig- nificant increase in activity and revenue per round at ClubLink's private clubs was the primary reason for im- provement in revenues and profits in 1998. Favourable spring weather was also a big factor. oe JUST MOVED? Late Death Notice Phone Cail Betty Ann BOGLE: Laura Kathleen At the Edinburgh Care Centre, Guelph on Tuesday, August 11, 1998.
