ARE YOU LOOKING FORWARD TO RETIREMENT?
MORE RRSP GROWTH STRATEGIES
1. Name your spouse as your RRSP beneficiary. Upon your demise,
the money from your plan can be transferred to your spouse's RRSP,
otherwise it must generally be cashed and gets taxed accordingly.
2. Consult a financial advisor. How much will you need to finance your
retirement goals? How much annual growth do you need to get there?
Which investments best offer the returns you need at the comfort level
you want?
3. Rethink old investment rules. GICs
used to be the leading choice for
RRSP investors. They were easy to
buy, easy to understand and offered
good returns. But low interest rates
have changed the rules of the game.

The news from
a on By Janice Becker
Cold forces school closure
Pastor talks of love
Heidi and Fred McClure were
greeters at Duff's United Church on
Feb. 1.
Rev. James Murray welcomed
everyone and the Call to Worship
was given.
The choir sang, When We Are
Living and then the children were
called forward where Rev. Murray
asked how many of them had their
Valentine cards ready. Valentines
are nice he told them, they let
people know how special they are.
They all use the one word_— love,
and love can mean so many
different things.
He told them that there is love for
parents, friends, pets, love between
parents, etc. He asked what the
Greek Gods were like on the TV
shows Xena and Hercules. 'Mean,
vindictive, rude and hurtful' were
some of the answers. "In contrast',
he said, "we worship a God of Love."
Rev. Murray's sermon was
called, "What kind of love is this?"
In talking about the different kinds
of love he pointed out that the
Corinthian 13 reading that is often
used at weddings was not intended
by Paul to be associated with
romantic love, or erotic love. It was
agape love, which is a self-giving
love, charity. It is a love that has a
generous concern for others. It
values, cherishes and esteems
another person. It says that all are

equal in the eyes of God.
In Jesus' time there were all
different kinds of Gods being
worshipped. People were afraid of
their gods, afraid to make them
angry etc. Paul was preaching
about a loving God and people
were beginning to seek this God.
Rev. Murray believes that a lot of
charities are turning toward
gambling now. In gambling you get
something for nothing. There is a
thrill, a high. In real charity agape
love is expressed in passing the
offering plate, in giving.
Gambling, he said, kills hope and
breeds despair. Charity breeds
hope. The suicide rate has doubled
in the cities that have permanent
casinos, he said.
"Care for the well being of
others. We don't necessarily have
to like that person, but we must
care for their feelings."
Rev. Murray told the story about
the man who threw the starfish
back into the water so they could
live. He knew that he couldn't save
them all but he did have the
satisfaction of knowing he made a
difference.
"We are called to make a
difference. One person can make a
difference and the good news that
God wants us to share with the
world is that we arc all loved by
God."

It was a very short day in class
Friday, for Walton Public School
students, when cold interior tem-
peratures welcomed staff arriving
for work.
Though she didn't check to see
how far the temperature had
dropped, Principal Maggie Crane
said is was "very obvious the heat-
ing system was not working. The
children sat in their classrooms
with their coats on."
They were the ones who seemed
to take it all in stride. "Several sat
at their desks filling out their jour-
nals while others asked questions
about what was going on," said
Crane.
To help keep the rooms a little
warmer, students on the east side of
the building opened curtains to feel
the effects of the sun.
Fortunately for the children, the

Around 80 people were fed
early morning breakdown allowed
staff to keep the bus drivers at the
school until it was determined what
action would be taken.
Crane said a call was made to the
Avon Maitland District School
Board office to receive permission
to send the students home.
By 10:15a.m., the parents of all
but six children had been contacted
and the buses were sent out. Within
the hour, the remaining parents had
been located.
A heating remedy was quickly in
the works when it was discovered
there was a foot and a half of water
in the oil tank.
"Workers think there may have
been seepage or cracks in the cap
after the last fill-up," she said. The
cause is still being investigated.
By mid-afternoon, Crane said the
heat in the classrooms was rising
but was still not up to standard.
It was school as usual Monday
