Two students from St. Anne's Catholic Secondary volunteered their time to help the Van Egmond House by doing a few chores, including painting the picnic tables. A good act noticed Every spring St. Anne's Catholic Secondary teacher Michael Romijn, brings a group of students to the Van Egmond House for spring cleaning. The gang of helpers mainly focuses on the house and property. Last week, he and the following Grade 9-12 students, Trent Boivin, Nick Cripps, Eric Bartz, Megan Huard, Chuck Garrick, Troy Leeming, Josiah Wozniak, Matt Schwarz, and Luke Par- sons came to the Van Egmond House and spent the day getting the place in tiptop shape. Their chores ranged from raking leaves, cleaning gardens and paint- ing the picnic tables. They were cooked a lunch for their good deeds, along with a sit down for a history lesson of the Van Egmond House and the Van Egmond family. "It is nice to see kids involved in their community and we the care takers of this historic house really appre- ciate the school coming every year helping are few senior volunteers that we have," stated the Van Egmond House Foundation. Renowned journalist and historian Gwynne Dyer speaks at Central Huron S.S. Justine Alkema Postmedia Network Central Huron S.S. stu- dents gathered in the gym- nasium with some students from Goderich District Col- legiate Institute in the morn- ing of May 11 for a very spe- cial occasion - to listen to internationally renowned journalist and historian Gwynne Dyer. Dyer spoke at the school 10 years ago, so since the Lon- don, England based speaker was in Ontario again, he asked Central Huron if they'd like him to come by. Dyer, who was born in Newfoundland, was origi- nally trained as a historian and has a Ph.D. in Military and Middle Eastern History from the University of Lon- don. For over 20 years, he has worked as a freelance journalist, columnist, broad- caster and lecturer on inter- national affairs. He has a col- umn that is published in over 175 papers in around 45 countries, and he has pub- lished several books. History teacher David Yates said he thought it was joke when he got a phone call by someone claiming to be Gwynne Dyer. Of course, it was actually him. "He called me and said he had two speaking top- ics that are based on cur- rent books he's doing," said Yates. "One was on terrorism and the other was on the ecological cri- sis. The students [in my world issues class] voted and chose to hear about terrorism by a narrow margin." 519-670-9493 I www.durandconstruction.ca 1 joedurand@tcc.on.ca In his lecture, he talked about the history of the Middle East and what has brought about terrorism coming from that region. He focused on how the media hypes terrorism and what the realistic impact of ISIS is to North America and the world, which in his opinion is not drastic. His other lecture is on the eco- logical crisis that, he believes, a much bigger threat to the world today. Internationally acclaimed journalist Gwynne Dyer speaking at Central Huron S.S.
