The Walton school welcomed
their new principal Maggie Crane
this past week. Maggie lives in
Clinton and is familiar with the
Walton Public School as she was
the resource teacher for this area at
one time. Maggie said that she
enjoyed her first week and
commented on what a super
community school this was.
Kindergartens welcomed Dylan
Vandewiel to their classroom this
week. He is a cousin to Courtney
and Kevin.
The letter 0 was the letter for the
week. Mrs. McBride came in and
set up an office centre and the
children enjoyed dressing up in the
suits and fancy dresses that she
provided.
To help learn new sight words
each day the Grade 1/2s set up
passwords on the door going into
their room.
This week they have begun the
unit of native studies. Mrs. Bennett
who began her teaching career
working at a school where at least a
third of the school were natives,
brought in some native necklaces
Lintons
greet
at Duff's
Brenda and Paul Linton were
greeters at Duffs United Church on
Jan. 11.
After Rev. James Murray gave
the call to worship, the introit
Joyful, Joyful, We Adore You was
sung by the congregation. Rev.
Murray reminded everyone that
Duff's annual meeting will be
Sunday, Jan. 25 following the
luncheon after the service and to
note that the service begins at
11:30.
The sermon was called, "The
Waters of Baptism". Rev. Murray
learned from an early life
experience that water is dangerous,
destructive and deadly. In today's
news there is further evidence of
water's destructive ways with all
the ice storms in eastern Ontario
and Quebec.
Rev. Murray as well remembers
as a young man, seeing people
being dunked in the river being
baptized. His brother had
commented that people could get
hurt doing that.
Indeed, this is the point, says
Rev. Murray. "Baptism is a kind of
death. It destroys the old Adam, the
old human being. It drowns you. It
buries you in a watery grave, which
then gives birth to your new life
like the waters of the womb."
Rev. Murray continued talking
about the different meanings of
baptism. He ended his sermon by
saying, "Water — we will use it
today. We will use it many times in
many ways the rest of our lives.
Each time we do, let it remind us
we have died to the old life and
been raised to a whole new life; we
have been cleansed, healed,
nurtured, and empowered in the
waters of baptism."
that students and parents had made
for her back then. The class has
made some canoes and is busy
designing head bands.
The Grade 2/3s are reading
detective/mystery stories. They
may need a few mysteries to solve
so be prepared to come up with a
few ideas.
For art the students did some
white on white creations on paper.
Glued to white paper were such
things as Q-tips, styrofoam, dental
floss, shells, etc.
The Grade 3/4s have completed
the Sheep Dog in the Snow novel
and now there are three groups
each reading a different novel —
Rich Mitch, Mr. Pauper's Penguins
and Ellie Brader Hates Mr. G.
The first place euchre winners at
the Walton Hall on Jan. 8 were
Tom and Eileen Sloan. The second
prize went to John Lyons and
Norman McClinchey. Frank and
Kay Baer took home the third
prize. Men's lone hand was won by
Lou Maloney and Judy Emmrich
took the ladies' lone hand prize
home.
Congratulations to Norman
McClinchey who won the 50/50
draw.
The next euchre will be on Jan.
22.
As is often said, necessity is the
mother of invention and for three
men from McKillop Twp., their
ingenuity paid off.
When no-till farmers Lorne
Glanville, his brother, Ken, and
nephew, Dean, of RR4, Walton,
went looking for a better way to
distribute residue from combine-
harvested crops, to provide less
concentrated rows, their effort
resulted in a $1,000 award in the
Environmental Farm Plan contest.
In applying for the award, Lorne
Glanville said he had to prove the
invention was helpful to the envi-
ronment.
Their invention, the double spin-
ner, chaff and residue spreader,
deals with the residue from the
combine which would sit in a nar-
row row, possibly only 50 inches
wide, holding dampness and hin-
dering the next season's crop. The
problem was particularly evident
with corn husks and cobs.
"There are spreaders on the mar-
ket," said Glanville, "but they just
spread off the sieve, while dropping
the cobs off the back."
Starting with the market model,
the Glanvilles revamped the idea to
meet their needs.
Through two years of operation,
the double spinner/spreader has
worked "perfectly", said Glanville,
now spreading all residue over a 20
foot swath.
Though Glanville said they have
no intention of marketing the prod-
uct, he said he has had inquiries
from other farmers on how to adapt
their combine, assistance he readily
offers.
