Moving in
Tyler Bragg, a member of the Brussels U-15, Soccer
Team I moved in to score during this game against their
local opponenets, Team II last week.. Bragg 's goal gave
his team the lead, which they held until part way through
the half. Brussels II tied it then scored one more for the
win, late in the second.
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

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.

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,

F.E. Madill Secondary School's
tech wing, library and potting
room, for reroofing. The Madill

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.
