The rocky landscape is blanketed in snow and the forested trails are still and quiet. Bluejays, nuthatches, chickadees, woodpeckers and grosbeaks add a touch of colour to the winter woods. You can spot the tracks of squirrels, deer, porcupine and red fox in the snow. The park maintains two cross counrty ski trail loops of different length and difficulty. Beginners will enjoy the flat Homestead Trail Loop (6 kilometers) while more advanced skiers will prefer the rugged, more difficult Tallow Rock Loop (10 kilometers). Two warmâ€"up cabins are located along the ski trails. Each is equipped with benches, a stove and firewood â€" hot lunches and drinks can be prepared on the stove. The fee for using our ski trails is $2.50 per day for each vehicle, so pack up the car and bring the whole family! As an added bonus, during the ski season, our Ski Chalet will be open on weekend afternoons. Stop in for a hot drink and warm up by the fireplace. For more information on trail conditions and Ski Chalet hours, call the park office between 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. on weekdays (659-2065) See you at Charleston Lake this winter!

Dawna Loucks reported that 40 questionnaires were returned concerning the creative playground equipment. 35 replied in favour with 5 not in favour. The committee will make a decision about the purchasing of equipment» at the next regular meeting on Jan. 14. Larry Winters, Viceâ€"Principal, introduced guest speaker, Pen Baxter, Computer Coâ€"ordinator for the Board. Mr. Baxter gave a talk outlining the present use of computers, Board policy and future goals. The broad goal is for every student graduating from Grade 8 to feel comfortable operating a computer and able to make a rational decision as to future courses they may wish to pursue. Computers are used as a teaching tool within the regular curriculum. The Board's aim is that there will be two computers in every classroom by 1990. Mr. Winters noted that presently there is one computer for every 48 students at Sweet's Corners. This is better than the average ratio. It was also noted that our school has a good supply of software. All students have some exposure to computers starting at Grade One. _ ( Wflfl/[fiyyl/fl/M/M/«fi N, \ \3 \-.Ԥ\\\\\\ OFFERS .ln Home~Sume Day Service to All Muior Appliances Stoves Washers Dryers ‘ NOW lACTORV AUTHORIZED SIRVICE FOR: ADMIRM InWHlRl POOLtulNGl IS Refrigerators Freezers Air Conditioners Mo 60!!
