Well it’s been another exciting
week at Blyth Public School. March
break is over, the second-term
report cards are out and spring is
upon us.
On Wednesday, March 24 most of
the classes went to see part of the
OFSAA girl’s hockey tournament at
the Blyth arena. It was South Huron
battling Eden in a match that had
you on your toes for most of the
game.
Newcombe ball for the Grades 1-5
has started up thanks to Madame
Antonio. It looks to be a very
promising season. The first game
will be the Polar Bears against the
Panda Bears.
The magazine sales start on March
29. If you would like to order a
magazine I’m sure a student from
Blyth P.S. would gladly let you order
through them.
The Grade 8 class has started a
new geography unit. They will be
considering the push and pull effect
that causes people to move from
place to place.
Novels can be enjoyed on a
number of different levels, as the
Grade 7/8 class learned from reading
the book called, The Giver”. They
noticed that in the book there are
some odd names – Asher, Jonas,
Caleb, Benjamin and Gabriel to
name a few. Are those names
connected in any way? If so, do you
think that the author’s decision to
use them was accidental?
The Grade 3 students are
researching things about pioneer
villages. The Grade 4 students have
been designing real estate posters for
their castles. The whole Grade 3/4
class is working on multiplication
in math. They are also doing a
novel study on “Castle in the Attic.”
In science the Grade 3 students
started a new unit on structures and
stability. The Grade 3 students
started a new unit on light and
sound.
The regional science fair is next
week. Registered in senior category
are: Robbie Gordon, Rachael Snell
and Tine Verschaeve, Marion
Studhalter, Matt VanWyk and Wyatt
Carey, and Eric Steele. Registered in
junior are: Ward Verschaeve,
Brandon Marshall, Brennan
Kolkman and Jonathan Pizzati,
Chantal Van Schaik and Tiffany
Conrad and Phaedra Scott and
Kathryn Chalmers.
The case of Ronald Hallam, who
went missing from his Ashfield-
Colborne-Wawanosh home nearly
one year ago, still remains open
today.
Hallam vanished without a trace
one year ago and he remains missing
to this day. To date, Huron County
OPP have investigated all received
tips and leads.
Hallam, who was 66 years old at
the time of his disappearance, left
his home on Prosperity Line at
approximately 11 a.m. on March 25,
2009. Police called off the extensive
search one week later.
Hallam is described as 5’8” tall
and weighing approximately 200
pounds. He is balding with grey hair.
He was last seen wearing a red and
black lumberjack-style jacket, a
black baseball cap, light-coloured
work pants, a dark grey t-shirt and
work boots.
Anyone with any information on
Hallam or his whereabouts, no
matter how small, are encouraged to
call Huron OPP at 1-800-310-1122
or Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-
8477.

The only refuge in sorrow
(J.R. Miller, “Counsel and Help” 1907)
“Being in anguish -- He prayed more fervently.” Luke 22:44
We see the Master at prayer in Gethsemane. It was here that He prepared for His
Cross. We should notice that His refuge in His exceeding sorrow -- was prayer;
and that, as the sorrow deepened-- the refuge still was prayer. Prayer is the only
refuge in sorrow.The lesson from the garden prayer is that we should take all the
hard things, the anguishes, the insufferable pains, the bitter griefs of our lives -- to
God in prayer. We may be sure, too, that God will answer. If He does not relieve
us of the suffering, He will strengthen us so that we can keep it, and still go on
trusting and singing.
“Do not worry about anything, but in everything, through prayer and petition with
thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God,
which surpasses every thought, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ
Jesus.” Philippians 4:6-7
