Alrof his family except one sister live in this part' of the, province. His wife Carole is a westerner from Manitoba and a home economist whose many handicrafts including weaving, batik and macrame, decorate their home She says she finds Brussels a friendly town and not too different front her home area. She was active in the Wanham Plowing Match too, helping with the ladies program, She also worked on the village "Newspaper" -- a monthly mimeogtaphed folder called "The Wanhamite'i. Carole curls; that's how she and her husband of three years met, at a bonspiel, but she hasn't yet been talked into plowing. Someone who h as been ag involved in the community as Ken Innes was in Wanham will probably find lots to do in Brussels. But he's not about to impose anything on his new home. If you set out to do things for people, they often fall through, Ken says. People have to do things for themselves, all you ran do is advise, he adds. LAME In loving memory of-.

Ben Schuitema'. (Continued from Page 1) over 13 is a member of COCO, Ken Innes says, and there are no membership fees. All COCO's records are public and members of the small exeuctive cannot succeed themselves ,.. to prevent• cliques being formed. COCO sponsors the plowing match and that's why you get people who couldn't care less about plowing working at the match. They know it helps pay for their kids' ball uniforms or for new equipment for the community hail. - In 1970, few of the joining organizations had any capital. Now Wanharn has a new $70,000 hall, artificial ice for the curliing rink,- an adjacent skating rink, a second ball diamond and double tennis courts. They 've turned the old hall into a library and museum. Industkial A sort of industrial committee, also part of COCO-, has helped develop a natural gas co-op and the $1.5 million Wanham alfalfa plant. Spin off effects in the once dying village have been a new village office and a water and' sewer' system. COCO and the revival of Wanham is a fascinating story and Ken, who as minister of the main Protestant church in the village was involved from the beginning, has learned a lot from it. "We can do a tremendous amount if wevvork together," he says. "We didn't want to go into debt." Wanham was not out to build palaces; but facilities the community needed. COCO likes to pay as they go. "We'd put up a shell first and use it, rather than draining the community to put up an expensive building and run it," Ken says. The Presbyterian minister thinks the important thing is to -"ask What you can do for your community, not what your community can do for 'you." We should work for the community as a whole, not our own little interests, he feels. Challenge Although he enjoyed 'his six years in Wanham, Ken Innes thought he needed a challenge Howick kids see horse farm On Thursday, October 9, stu- dents from the Horses and Horsemanship Elective took a trip They went to Glenn Johnston's farm which is located directly across the road from the school. They went because they wanted to see horses from a close view. if you go past their farm in the summertime, you will see the horses, There were twenty students there on the trip. I believe they got some good information through seeing the real thing instead of reading about horses in books. Ben Schuitema
