It's been maybe five years since there's been ice skating in Fairview but this year, the call finally came. When the weather looks right, people start checking the ponds and usually, Doug Clarke makes the final call when he thinks the ice is thick enough. After several COLD nights (twice we had 5 degrees), the phones started ringing. Everyone was called, the boxes of skates were rounded up from the basements and attics, Doug loaded the hockey sticks and pucks, snacks and thermoses were stuffed on top of extra hats and scarves and within a half hour, a peaceful pond in Gerton became the center the community. Here Walker shows his true love by lacing up Cameron's skates - a labor of love if there ever was one.
A good view of most of the pond with full-blown action.
Cameron and Jake do dance around the hockey puck.
Walker hangs out in the wings where he can receive the puck, un-challenged -- at least for a few seconds.
