The two Brussels Bantam soccer teams met for the second time this season. The Brussels B defeated Acre T 12-3. The game on June 13 featured an aggressive Brussels B offense, with six players sharing in the scoring. Terry Brown scored the first of his three goals, when Leslie Baillie fed him a pass through a forest of legs. His shot beat keeper Cory Campbell. The second goal was scored by Bronwyn Dunbar, on a pass from Brown. Terry Nichol, after carrying the ball down the left side scored, then Nichol scored his second goal after taking a throw-in. Brown scored his second goal after his chest high shot was stopped, but bounced out in front and he shot again. Kirk Baillie finished the half by scoring on a low hard shot into the corner of the net. The Brussels B fullbacks - Josh Beuermann, Scott Clarkson and Belgrave PeeWee Boys came away with one in the win column and one on the losing side in two games last week. On June 10, Belgrave travelled to Gowanstown where they were trounced 13-4. The hosts slugged their way to a 5-2 lead in the first, with Tim Robinson and Justin Campbell crossing the plate for Belgrave. Holding their visitors back in the second, Gowanstown tagged on three more to widen their lead, then after a scoreless third, Belgrave managed two more in their half of the fourth. Scoring were Myron Hussey and Craig Marks. Gowanstown assured the win with a solid five runs in the fifth. Belgrave pitching was shared by Campbell and Ke-vin Hopf. Catch- ers were Hussey and Robinson. The next day, Belgrave notched a win, after travelling to Atwood. Costa Milinkovic stopped the Acre T offense. The second half started with Cory Campbell of Acre T moving to forward to give the team some scoring punch. Brussels B defenders paused on an assumed off side. The whistle did not blow and three Acre T forwards swooped down on keeper Phil Graber and Campbell scored. He scored his second goal, then Chad Neville of Acre T scored. Adam Carr of Brussels B then took charge and worked his way through the defenders. He scored on a three-way passing play. Keeper Sean Terpstra had no chance on the shot. Brussels B continued the pressure and Carr scored two more goals. Beuermann and Kirk Baillie completed the scoring. Both keepers had a busy second half and Graber came up with some big saves which blunted the Acre T attack. They defeated their hosts 11-7. The first inning ended in a 3-3 tie, with Curtis Knight, Campbell and Hussey scoring for the visitors. Atwood took the lead in the sec- ond, scoring one to Belgrave's none, then it was turnabout in the third, when Campbell scored in the top, while he and his teamates shutout the opposition in the home half. The close contest continued in the fourth and fifth when Ricky Buchannan and Hopf scored. After failing to cash in on their half of the fourth, Atwood broke loose in the fifth scoring three to put them ahead by one for the second time. Things stayed the same through the sixth, then a strong seventh on their part and a shutout for Atwood solidified the win for Belgrave. Crossing the plate were Knight, Jimmy McCracken, Travis Hopper and Robinson. Pitching were Marks and Hopf. The Huron County Board of Edu- cation has an ongoing review pro- cess to improve bus service to schools as well as reduce costs. In a presentation made to the board at the June 3 meeting, Trans- portation Manager Dennis Harris outlined the systems and proce- dures now in place, including inte- grated routes with the Clinton and District Christian School and the Huron-Perth Roman Catholic Sepa- rate School Board. The expenditure over grants, to operate the buses, has dropped from 6.8 per cent in 1991 to 2.8 in 1995. The real dollar cost, includ- ing inflation and price index, has decreased 10.9 per cent. A motion to support elementary students' concerns about admittance to university in the year 2000, was passed by the trustees. The plan suggests that staggered entry into university be developed by the Minister of Education and Training, in partnership with the universities. ***** Monies earned from the sale of the Education Centre, $93,390, will be used towards the re-location of the administrative offices to Central Huron Secondary School. Trustees committed $30,000, from Special Assistance for Small Board grants, to upgrade the Physics lab at the school, at the time of its re-location from the new administrative area. ***** While the HCBE develops part- nerships with municipalities, hospi- tals and other public agencies, trustees said there appears to be room to explore further collabora- tion with the County of Huron. Director of Education Paul Car- roll said there is the opportunity to develop partnerships dealing with social services, technology and computer wiring, computer pur- chases, program sharing, paving, curbing, grass cutting, property maintenance and janitorial services, to mention a few. Discussions will continue. ***** A motion passed approving the sale of two surplus buses, at current market value, for shipment to Cuba as a humanitarian venture. ***** The executive committee was advised that the director of educa- tion and the supervisory officers have volunteered to accept a salary freeze, subject to a guarantee that no penalty will result to affect the individual's retirement pension. ***** The board is looking for input from many groups to investigate potential problems related to smok- ing areas and their effect on neigh- bours. ***** A motion was passed, accepting the tender from G.dL Construction, for the replacement of windows at Brussels, Usborne and Wingham Public SChools. The total cost will be $320,727.72. Additional maintenance projects will be undertaken at Grey Central and Holmesville Public School and F.E. Madill Secondary School's tech wing, library and potting room, for reroofing. The Madill reroofing will be completed in con- junction with science labs improve- ments. Ms Elston had a wonderful surprise this past week. Little did she know that when she was sent to another school for a meeting (a little diversion) she would come back to a classroom full of streamers, bells, a cake and many wonderful gifts. It was a surprise shower put on by her students and parents. One very special gift was a tablecloth that Phyllis Mitchell had designed and had been signed by all the kids in her class. Ms Elston will become Mrs. Jamie Robinson on July 27. Congratulations! Mrs. Webster substituted for Mrs. Bennett for a few days this week. She said that Walton had a great bunch of kids. They made Father's Day bookmarks out of plastic weave and footprint bird Margery Huether greeted worshippers at Duff's United Church on June 16, Father's Day or as Rev. Randy Banks called it, 'Christian Family Sunday II'. Duff's Angels began the service by singing, Sing a New Song. Rev. Banks welcomed people and announced that next Sunday the service time will be at 11:30 a.m. in Walton. The adult choir, along with Duff's Angels, sang an old favourite, Precious Memories. Rev. Banks called the young worshippers forward and asked if they liked to laugh. He then turned on his tape player and played a song from Mary Poppins, which had most people either laughing or smiling big time. People found how contagious laughter really is. It all tied in with the story of how Sarah laughed when God told her she would have a child. His sermon continued along these lines. He figured that when Paul was naming the fruits of the spirit he should have included humour as one too. Rev. Banks admitted to not having much to laugh at these past few weeks as his time here at Walton will soon come to an end, but after reading the Lectionary, and seeing the humour in a 90-year-old Sarah getting cards. The Grade 2/3s had a fun week doing Pioneer Centres. They chewed pioneer gum (kernels of wheat), made bread and made butter from whipping cream. The students learned to make their own knitting spools, and button whizzcrs. Then on Friday they went to Seaforth to ride a horse. After tnat they had a pioneer picnic eating some of their bread and butter and watermelon. Mrs. Crocker challenged the kids to a watermelon seed splitting contest. She boasted that she beat the kids hands-down but rumour has it they didn't agree. The Grade 4s are continuing in their incredible edible reading and writing by reading some poems and stories. They had to come up with a menu for camp using some incredible edibles. pregnant, he realized just what a role humour plays on our emotional well being. He said that God has a keen sense of humour. "After all He did make us." He went on to say how Sarah never lived down her laughing, as her son Isaac (the name meaning, 'He laughed) was born. The joke was really on her. Humour is indeed a divine gift. Visiting with Viola Kirkby this past week was Mrs. Hazelgrove. Her husband was the minister here many years ago. Talk after church this morning revealed that he performed the marriage ceremony of Leona and Ken McDonald and baptized Graeme Craig. Craigs attend family reunion Helen, Graeme, Shannon and Michael Craig attended the Craig family reunion on Saturday down at the hall. About 40 Craigs attended the gathering where they enjoyed games and a pot luck supper. A birthday cake and the singing of 'Happy Birthday' helped Roberta Simpson (Harvey Craig's sister) celebrate her 80th birthday. Brussels B downs Acre T M.
