Any crops that are planted will certainly benefit from it. One can almost see the grass grow. The Mother's Day service at Cavan was led by Minister Mary, who recently gradu- ated from school in Halifax. Mary and her husband Terry will be ordained late this month. She showed us the sash she received. The choir sang "Far Above Riches." A Mission Services Certificate of Appreciation for dona- tions was received for Cavan and Northside. The M&S reading was given by Ruth Artmann about a grandmother run- ning a farm in South Africa. The children's time was about rules mothers make for their children - making the bed, taking care of pets, etc. Mary's message was titled, "Mothers Worldwide." Jesus has a mothering influence. On May 23 at dusk, Win- throp will again have their fireworks display at the ball- park. Admission is to bring fireworks. Cavan Sunday School will serve hot dogs. All are welcome and the rain date is set for May 24. On Mother's Day, Brian and Carol Ann Campbell, along with Bob, Ruth and Beatrice Campbell traveled to London to visit with Sheila and Vince Nicol and Ron and Darlene Campbell. Bea- trice stayed for a few days visit with each.

Office hours: Wed. 9 a.m. - Noon Whitney South Huron Expositor Kyle Skinner was diag- nosed with type -1 diabetes when he was just 8 years old. "I was playing hockey at the time, and my coach was actually the one who encour- aged me and told me not to give up," he said. "I wanted to inspire other kids, and people, that diabetes doesn't need to stop them." As proof, Skinner will compete against current Country Classic Champion golfer David Markle in a Skins game at the Seaforth Golf Club on May 24, in an effort to raise money for a charity that is near and dear to both players' hearts. "With our current cham- pion being recently diag- nosed as a type -1 diabetic, I thought it would be great if we did something for the Canadian Diabetes Associa- tion, so that's who we're rais- ing money for this year," said Skinner, who is currently the assistant pro at the Seaforth Golf Club. "We're going to be playing for a purse that will be donated to the association through the Country Classic in July. Skinner explained he will be playing against Markle on the back -nine, which he says is more view friendly, while each hole will be worth a dif- ferent cash amount. "In the end, the money may all be going to the same place, but it's giving us some- thing to play for and hope- fully encourage people to come out, watch a good game and maybe make a donation of their own. Our goal is to raise $3,000 to be presented at the Country Classic," he said. The club is hoping to bring in a large crowd to not only enjoy the game, but learn a thing or two about a disease which affects so many across Canada. "Kyle's the assistant pro here, and David is the cur- rent champion, so it's going to be interesting to see who wins the most holes," said Carolanne Doig. "I think it's really going to be great." When Skinner suggested the club change their charity for this year's event, Doig said she thought it was a great idea, but insisted she turn over the reigns. "This was his plan and I knew he'd be able to get it together and really make something great," she said. For Skinner, getting champ David Markle on board wasn't hard. "He was really ethusiastic about it and he said he'd do anything to help," Skinner smiled, adding how lucky the club was Markle's tour schedule wasn't a problem. "He's been a big supporter of the Canadian Diabetes Association since he was diagnosed pretty late and for him it's been a big life change." In February of 2011, Mar- kle found himself struggling with a set of symptoms that just wouldn't go away, including extreme fatigue and constant dehydration. After dropping 15 pounds in just a couple months, he would take a blood test that would change his life. A strong advocate for dia- betes awareness in Canada, association's logo is proudly displayed on his golf shirts. "David is a great example of how, just because you have diabetes, nothing can stop you," said Sldnner. "You can excel at anything regard- less, you can be a profes- sional athlete, you can do anything." There are currently more than nine million Canadians living with diabetes or prediabetes. It is a chronic disease, in which the body either can- not produce insulin or can- not properly use the insulin it produces. This leads to high levels of glucose in the blood, which can damage organs, blood vessels and nerves. People diagnosed spend a lifetime self -testing and regulating their blood sugar. If left untreated or improperly managed, diabe- tes can result in a variety of complications, including heart and kidney disease, as well as nerve damage. The Skins Game will take place on Saturday, May 24 at the Seaforth Golf Club at 3 p.m. For more information about the Canadian Diabe- tes Association, or to make a donation, visit www.diabe- tes.ca. St. Anne's athletes move on to WOSSAA St. Anne's school news Claire Gordon Minister of Public Relations It was a busy week here at St. Anne's for many of the sports teams. St. Anne's hosted the Huron -Perth Track meet on Tuesday and Wednesday, and many of our athletes will be traveling to WOSSAA to represent St.Anne's. Congratulations on a great season and good luck to all of the athletes. The junior and senior soccer teams, as well as the rugby and baseball/softball teams are all off to a great start. We wish you all luck for an awesome, upcoming season. On Thursday, St. Anne's hosted the annual Math Olympics contest. It was a great opportunity for the elementary schools to come together and compete in math games and challenges. It was great to see so many future Eagles take part. Thursday was also the last dance of the year. Due to the weather, the Colour Dance was moved inside, but it was still a great success and fun for every- one who attended. The week ended off with a fundraiser for St. Andre Bessette. The day consisted of a civvies day, which encouraged students to wear red and white civvies and to donate a toonie. In addition, the God Squad hosted a bake sale to raise additional funds for our Board's families in need.
