Bake sale a success
The overwhelming success of the
bake sale on Tuesday, proved once
again what a great supportive
community we live in. Nearly $500
was raised for the Diehl family. It
was amazing how the school filled
up with people and in no time at all
the baking was gone.
In keeping with the winter games
Walton School held its own winter
Olympic games — Walton style.
Such games as snow soccer, speed
boot relay, hockey, nerf cross bow
competition, snow snake (a native
game) and the triathlon were part of
the fun for the afternoon.
McGavins also donated a big tire
innertube for the games. The little
children pulled two bigger ones
down the grade and the big ones
pulled the little ones up.
A big thank you to six Walton
school grads that came from
Seaforth Public School to give
Walton a hand with the bake sale
and the winter games. The help of
Stacie Giller, Amy McClure, Kris
McNichol, Brian Dolmage, Jeff
Marilyn McDonald, Monique
Baan and Marj Fraser were in
charge of the UCW worship and
business meeting last Wednesday.
Moniqtte introduced guest
speaker Elma Plant. She and her
husband are HIV positive - AIDS.
She said her story started six
years ago when she had meningitis
several times and cancer. She was
pregnant with her third child during
this time and tests revealed that she
was HIV positive. She says God
had his hand on her children as
none of them have the deadly virus.
She has since had chicken pox
five times, and right now has a
brain infection and is fighting
pneumonia.
One of the hardest things for her
is lack of energy. There are times
when she and her husband are
depressed. "But luckily," she
smiled, "not always at the same
time."
People don't die from AIDS, she
Melville WMS met at the manse
for its regular meeting on Feb. 9.
Isobel Gibson, vice president,
presided for the meeting. She led
in prayer. All Hail the Power of
Jesus' Name was sung.
The minutes of the January
meeting and the treasurer's report
were given. The roll call was
answered by reading a few lines
about love.
Margaret McLeod had the
devotions which gave all food for
thought.
The hymn Praise My Soul, the
King of Heaven was sung.
Session one from the study book
"Loaves and Fishes" was taken by

Linton and Kenny McCallum was
greatly appreciated.
In keeping track of the life of
Valentine, Wormy and the worm
gang in Grade 1/2 class, it was
learned that some excitement did
go on this past week. It seems that
Spike, now known as 'Escape Artist
Spike' is getting very good at
getting loose and lost. Twice the
darling little worm escaped. No one
could move for fear of stepping on
him. Finally he was discovered in a
book and the second time he was
on someone's shirt. Stay tuned for
more escapades of 'Spike' the meal
worm!
Acts of kindness awards this
week were handed out to Lindsay
Hoegy, Lukas Biesinger, Adam
Braecher, Christopher Becker,
David Bolton, Brandon McGavin,
Eric Mulholland and Jennifer Eedy.

and skating for the whole school.

said. They die from the different
infections that take over the body.
AIDS is a virus that attacks the
immune system. She assured the
women that she was not
contagious, that it is only through
sex, sharing of needles (drugs,
tattoos, steroids, body piercing),
blood products and from mother to
child, including breast feeding that
AIDS is passed on.
Right now 80 per cent of her
immune system is gone.
She is thankful for the many
supportive people who are in their
lives. The cost of the drugs that
they sometimes need is incredible
and there are times when the need
for food comes before the need of
medicine. They can't afford both.
She read different scriptures that
have come to mean a lot to her.
Her faith story is touching, and
powerful. They take one day at a
time and because of their faith in
God they have found true peace.
