Former Mildmay Town Crier staff member John Thompson submitted this photo from a calendar published by the paper’s former publisher, the late John Hafermehl. Thompson found the photo of Hafermehl’s daughter Susan (Bross), who later became the publisher of the paper, and her puppy Casey, while doing some decluttering at his home in Waterloo. Thompson estimates the photos is from the late 1960s, when Susan was between four and six years old. - Contributed photo

Halle Bross mixed a little science in with the science fiction of the South Bruce March Break Camp last week in Mildmay. During a jaunt to the Jurassic period, Halle was supposed to be making a dinosaur egg (or stress ball) with cornstarch, and was told to blow up the balloon beforehand to stretch it out. She missed the step where you deflate the balloon first, however, resulting in a physics demonstration. - Denny Scott photo
