THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 21, 1993. Rev. Banks baptizes baby boy Several phone cans and the death of nearly 12,000 chickens gave seven kids from Walton a chance to earn some money and to see the insides of a large chicken barn on Sunday, April 18. Ray Brenier had called B J deJong and informed her that Earl Grisdale of the Cranbrook area had lost between 11,000 - 12,000 chickens and needed help clearing the barns of the dead birds. BJ rounded up as many kids as she could find and Ray drove Brandy and Tanner Banks, Armand Little, Jamie Ernmrich, Robbie Mitchell, Dawn Marcussio and Mandy Workman to the farm. Three hours later a bunch of tired, smelly kids landed back in Walton, some saying that they didn't want to eat chicken for a little while. We hope all goes well for Mr. Grisdale. Worshippers at Duff's United Church on April 18 were greeted by Brian, Shelly and Brandon McGavin. Rev. Banks' time with the children was spent teaching them the names of the 12 disciples. The anthem, 'Out of Deep, Unordered Water' was sung by Graeme Craig and Patty Banks. Received into the church of Jesus Christ through Holy Baptism was Jamie Mitchell, son of Doug and Janet Mitchell. Viola Kirkby, the Clerk of Session, presented the family with a candle and certificate. A banner made by Linda Students play baseball By Geoffrey Banks and Darrell McClure On March 29 Kendra Bennewies came in first out of 24 people at the Mitchell Music Festival. She sang for all the children at Walton school on Thursday, April 15. She sang wonderfully and it sounded nice. Grade one, two and three are playing baseball outside. Friday's score was a tie 10-10. Students are learning how to type on the computers. GRADE ONE/TWO The class did some egg experiments this week. Students found out what the egg looks like with the shell off as well as other interesting things about eggs. To announce spring, they made paper-woven kites. They are all different colours. Sometimes its hard to weave the strips. There is a new computer at the school so now there's two. Students like the map colouring game. McDonald and her Sunday school class was given to Jamie by Scott McDonald. Rev. Banks' sermon was called 'I will not believe unless ....' It was Thomas who said, 'I will not believe unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my hands on his side.' Many others did see and believed. We have not seen but are called upon to believe. Therefore we are dependent upon the scriptural witness and the guiding of the Holy Spirit to believe in the Risen Son of God. After the service the smell of Due to increased borrowing and lower investment interest, West Wawanosh council is moving the tax due date ahead 10 days. With the due date change, the first installment of taxes must be paid June 15 and the second and final installment due November 15. The date was changed at coun- cil's regular meeting on April 6. Also at that meeting, a delegation representing the Amish community appeared before council to discuss their application for a zoning change to allow the placement of a new school. A spokesperson for the appli- cants said the community antici- pates there will be 20 students for the school in September 1993. Their projection for the next five years is 107 students which would result in the need for another school in the St. Helens area. County Planner Cynthia Fisher said the application would be sup- ported by the county. West homemade soup drew a big crowd downstairs for lunch. Graeme Craig, not satisfied with the fact that the Walton correspondent puts everyone's birthdate in the paper but her own, presented Patty Banks with a lovely birthday cake and candle. Well, actually it was a candle stuck in a hot dog bun. Everyone then sang happy birthday to Patty, Graeme and Stan McClure. Between Walton and Bluevale Church $360 was collected for the Lenten project. The money goes to World Development. Wawanosh council also decided to support the application and will fol- low due process by holding a pub- lic meeting to hear any possible objections before passing the zon- ing change by-law. In other council news, Reeve Robert Hallam was appointed to represent the municipality at a joint meeting with Auburn, Hullett and East Wawanosh trustees to discuss a method of sorting and recycling waste collected in Auburn. Council decided to write a letter of support for Steve Owen towards his effort in obtaining a license to operate a small used car business. A letter will be sent to the Min- istry of Transportation in response to their letter regarding the replace- ment of a portion of two culverts on Hwy 86. The consensus from West Wawanosh council is that closing Sideroad 15-16 at Hwy 86 as suggested by the Ministry is not feasible.
