Neil McGavin receives honour It was an exciting week for the kindergarten class as they prepared for Halloween. They studied the letter N and made all kinds of noises. They carved pumpkins, finger painted jack-o-lanterns, made Rice Krispie Jack-o-lanterns and some witches brew. Thanks to the help of volunteers Tracey Campbell, Jennifer Vellengo, Carol Reinink, Carol Ann Regele, Corina Vandeweil and Kirk Purdy who helped with all the above activities. The Grade 1/2s continued using their senses to celebrate Halloween by using crepe paper skies for Halloween pictures, eating rice krispie spiders and tasting witches brew. They used scrap materials to make witch and bat crafts. Grades 2/3s read all kinds of Halloween books like, "Vampires don't wear polka dots" and "Witch Crackle Toes". They had to write stories that began with, "Once upon a time there was a wee tiny, tiny witch". Or "It all started one dark Halloween night". There was an error in the Morris Twp. council report in the Oct. 28 issue of The Citizen. Rodger Somers was hired as a The class also carved pumpkins, and some even had earrings. For Halloween crafts they made plastic bag ghosts and did oil stain paintings. The Grade 3/4s in learning how to write using conversation, all wrote some Halloween stories using conversation. They are learning the provinces and capitals of Canada. And on Friday children brought candy to share and Mrs. Haney gave each child candy as well. The whole school attended a play at Blyth Theatre and thoroughly enjoyed For Art's Sake. They learned that everyone is an artist in ther own, unique way. They were amazed at how fast the actors could change costumes. A reminder that hog dog day will be next Thursday. Congratulations to the Keys family who won a pie from Grace Campbell Catering.

Neil and Marie McGavin were greeters at Duff's United Church Nov. I. A very musical group called, "Melville Crew" sang and played before and during the service. This is a newly-formed musical group from Brussels with Joanne King, pianist, singing lead, Janna Dodds and Crystal Semple singing alto. Jim Lee played bass guitar and Dave Armstrong played drums. The group played some of the old time songs and during the service performed, Sound of Peace, When the Saints Go Marching In and Amazing Grace. Rev. Murray called the children forward and asked them if they knew what Halloween meant. It means the night before All Saints Day. It was a time to honour saints, people who had made a difference. He then went on to tell the story about Zacchaeus and later sang the song about Zacchaeus, that he had learned in Sunday School when he was little. Rev. Murray told them that they can each make a difference. His sermon was called, "All Saints". Saints can mean different things to different people, he said. For instance, it could mean people who have lived extraordinary lives of faith and have passed on to eternal life. For others saints are more ordinary people who are by no means perfect but are trying Sale succeeds The Craft and Bake Sale at the Walton Hall on Saturday was a great success with 14 vendors setting up tables. There were several tables of baking and other tables set up had floral arrangements, knitting, Barbie doll clothes, juice drinks, homemade salsa sauce, chocolates and many more items. Vendors came from the surrounding area and there were all kinds of door prize winners. Thanks to Barb Durrell who puts this event together each year. WI convention Continued from page 7 humour added to the success of the convention. Gifts were given to retiring president, Mrs. Egelton and Secretary, Mrs. Doris Spence.

The flags were retired, bringing the convention to a close. their best to lead God-centred lives in their everyday circumstances. For some, saints are all those who are baptized. Personally, Rev. Murray said he views the saints as those hard working people who seek to make a difference, and try to lead a Godly life. "Saints are people we look up to for inspiration, and for guidance. They don't think of themselves as special or saintly. That is something we say about them. For they are our heroes." "Who are your heroes? Who are the saints who have touched your life?" Rev. Murray asked. Saints are those who make a difference. They live out their beliefs. They trust in God. They are open to the possibilities and options which God constantly offers. They make a difference because they realize the way to experience God's love is by sharing it with others. God sees in people great possibliities. "And God will never give up on us, until we all become the saints that God believes we all can become," he said. After the service Rev. Murray called Sheila Richards, member of the board of directors of The North Huron Citizen forward to pay tribute to Neil McGavin as the 1998 Citizen of the Year. Going back into Neil's past the people could see how he has always been involved in the community, the church and in his business. One of Neil's great attributes is being there for others. He has a great gift of being able to lift people's spirits and to help them see the other side of things. Neil himself says, "If it is to be, it is up to me". He is a mover and a shaker in the life around him. He gives of his time and supports many different causes. Neil thanked his wife Marie, his children and grandchildren and the staff, all who were there that morning. He also felt honoured and could only express his thanks by saying thank you. Coffee and muffins were served downstairs. Congratulations Neil McGavin. Morris hires R. Somers r H A LTON BRUCE COMMUNITY COMPLEX Public Meeting Wednesday, November 11, 1998 7:30 p.m. F.E.
