Puck chucking
The Huron East Fire Department took on the Huron County
OPP Detachment in a fundraising hockey game at the
Seaforth and District Community Centre on Saturday which
included a Chuck -a -Puck fundraiser which brought fans to
whatever open space on the boards they could find. The
OPP won the game by a score of 9-3, but the real winner
was Victim Services of Huron County which benefitted from
the game. (Vicky Bremner photo)
Increased assessment in
MT allows for larger levy

presentation, saying that she had "a
great discussion with [Huron Bruce
MPP Lisa] Thompson about it and
how people were being released
after being convicted of crimes only
to commit crimes again.
Gowing suggested that, in the
letter Neleman proposed, the OPP
cost be included as a municipal
burden that was making budgets
difficult. The motion to send the
letter carried.
Councillor John Smuck said the
budget was both a positive and a
negative for the municipality.
He explained that, due to farm
land assessments increasing,
a 10 per cent levy increase was
possible without residential rates
increasing.
"Residential people are going to
have it a bit easier at the cost of
farmers and farmlands," he said.
Nelemans pointed out that other
municipalities that don't have
farmland are going to suffer with
limited resources.
Gowing said that the municipality
has been up front with its ratepayers
in dealing with the costs of
providing services in Morris-
Turnberry and that's what made for
the reduction in tax rate. He said
some municipalities try to present a
neutral budget with no increases,
however, that results in substantial
increases when funding problems
arise.
"We've been fairly steady and
done what we've needed to do," he
said. "We've been responsible to our
ratepayers and because of that we
haven't had enormous increases all
at once.
Michie thanked council for their
work on the budget, noting they
didn't start until January and were
already considering passing the final
budget.
The budget will be presented at
Morns-Turnberry's April 3 meeting.

say it was a great way to direct new
staff to different fields."
Council asked if Huron County
had provided the blades for free as
part of Sparling's project or if the
identifying plates were
always available for free and
Administrator Clerk/Treasurer
Nancy Michie said the blades
are always free if you need them.
Marshall explained that the Fire
Department of North Huron had
support from the Ontario Ministry
of Agriculture, Food and Rural
Affairs on the project and they are
pushing farmers and farm staff to
carry information cards in their
tractors and pockets on where they
might be working.
Murray and Joyce Vincent greeted
worshippers and handed out the
order of service at Knox United on
Sunday, March 26. Minister Brian
Hymers welcomed the congregation
which was followed by the singing
of the introit hymn, "Take Time to
Be Holy". Brian lit the Christ candle,
and led in prayer, Lord allow this
flame to illuminate our hearts as to
see the world in a different way.
Allow us to see past others' darkened
past but look towards the future with
cleansing brightness and purity.
The gathering prayer was followed
by the welcoming hymn, "Precious
Lord Take My Hand."
On Wednesday, April the official
board will meet in the lower hall of
the church at 7:30 p.m. Anyone who
has anything for the agenda please
contact Roger Hopper, chair of the
official board.
Happy birthday was sung to
Roger Hopper whose birthday was
March 28.
The call to worship was read
responsively followed by the choir
anthem.
The children's hymn was, "Jesus
Teacher Brave and Bold." For
children's time the children sat in the
front pew. Brian told the children
that every year the same stories are
heard. They are made simple so
everyone can understand. Church
should be fun just as jokes are. The
children adjourned to Sunday
school.
The congregation listened to the
word of God as Pat Barnes read
scripture from Samuel 6: 1-13.
Psalm 23 — The Lord's My Shepherd
was sung by the congregation and
then she read from Ephesians 5: 8-14
and John 9: 1-41.
In small churches the work always
gets done and they are an asset to the
community. The light gives us hope.
People need hope when things are
breaking up around them. They are
forgiven by Christ. It is okay to be
who you are.
Jesus gave a blind man his vision
so he could see things in a different
light — a light within his heart. Faith
in God is greater than we could ever
imagine. God wants us to take the
flame and spread the good news to
all. We need to share the word of
God and make people feel welcome.
After the singing of the hymn of
response, "Just As I Am", Nancy
Jardin reported on the Minute for
Missions, "Care for Creation". Larry
Harper and Don Shiell took up the
offering which was dedicated.
The closing hymn, "I Need Thee
Every Hour", the benediction and
blessing "Go Now in Peace" ended
the worship service.
Shawn and Katie Cottrill will be
going to the mixed nationals in
Saskatchewan on April 5-9. The
Cottrills ranked 20th of the 32 teams
entering the tournament. Mixed
doubles curling is played over eight
ends, with each team having six
stones per end, one of which is
prepositioned on the centre line prior
to each end. After a stone is thrown,
both team members are permitted to
sweep.
