The Walton Little School had a
busy week learning about the letter Y.
The children were excited to see the
bean seeds had sprouted and they
enjoyed reading Jack in the Bean
Stalk.
They practised their turtle drill aka
tornado drill. They have to follow the
safety rope and crouch low against
the wall and stay there for safety.
Five new children started this week
and the spots are now limited for the
fall. The playground equipment has
arrived and anyone wishing to
volunteer to help put it up can call the
school.
The school isn't just used for
learning from 7:30 a.m. until 6 p.m.
Last Thursday evening, interested
mothers and grandmothers filled the
meeting room to hear speaker Nancy
Bartz talk about home organization.
A mother of 10 children, ranging
from twins who are two to a
university student who is 22, Bartz
has gained much of her wisdom about
home organization through research
and necessity. She relies on routine
and the good ideas of others to
manage her busy household.
Neil and Marie McGavin and
Murray and Betty Cardiff attended
the Oliver/Sanzen wedding in
Providence, Rhode Island. The bride,
Leslee Oliver is the daughter of
former Walton residents Glen and
Marilyn Oliver.
Adam and Tammy Hamilton,
along with Adam's family members,
travelled to Las Vegas. They were
away for a week and had a fantastic
time. They stayed at the Paris Hotel
and Casino and saw Jubilee, a
musical chorus line.
Celebrating a special birthday was
Donna Knight on Monday. Fifteen
lady friends gathered and went to the
Wingham Golf and Country Club for
a birthday luncheon. On returning to
Brussels, some gathered at Nora
Stephenson's for cake and ice cream
and a social time. They report having
a lovely afternoon. Gerald Watson
had cataract and implant surgery in
London last week and stayed a few
days with daughter Sandra. He's
home now.
The exhibitors and other workers
at the "Slice of Huron" at the
Seaforth Agriculture Building
enjoyed a delicious turkey dinner
served up by Helen Craig, Val
Pethick, Marjorie Frazer, Kathy
Huether, Kathleen Williamson and
Phyllis Mitchell. Slice of Huron is a
program put on to promote
agriculture and it brings school
children and others face to face with
many aspects of agriculture.
The Grade I class from St. Jaines
School in Seaforth toured the farm of
Ernst Gubelmann and McGavin
Farm Equipment on Wednesday
morning. The group of about 45
children and adult chaperones
letrned farm safety. The children
were shown some demonstrations of
how dangerous machinery can be.
Snowbird Margery Huether has
returned from Florida. She was met
at London airport by daughter-in-law
Lisa Huether and friends Val and
Krista Shortreed. They enjoyed
supper at the Swiss Chalet and
caught up on all the Walton people.
It's an exciting time for graduating
students, as the university and
college acceptances are arriving.
From Bartz's point of view, an
organized home provides for they
needs of its family. The goal of an
organized home is to provide peace
and harmony, as the members of a
peaceful household are able to
function more harmoniously and
pursue their individual goals more
productively than members of a
chaotic home.
Bartz did not suggest that people
who live in messy' or disorganized
homes aren't happy or successful,
however she did wonder if it can be
somewhat harder to function and
realize goals when a home is
unorganized. She speculated that too
much time is spent scurrying around
looking for lost items, hassling over
who should have been responsible for
lunches, library books, or paying
bills, or feeling overwhelmed by
housework is most likely
counterproductive and can be stress-
inducing. Maintaining an organized
environment where all family
members contribute and can thrive is
the key to achieving a more peaceful
home eiivi ronment.
Bartz credits her family with her
Receiving good news was Katie
Emmrich and Kelly McDonald, as
both were accepted at Wilfrid
Laurier. Lee Ann McDonald was also
accepted at London for teacher's
college.
Now the hunt for high paying
summer employment is on. Going to
St. Clair College in Windsor is Tina
McClure.
Don't forget the roast beef dinner
this Sunday.
Visiting with Doug and Marjory
Fraser on Saturday were daughter
Carolyn, husband Gerry and son
Mark. Mark is leaving this week for
Ottawa for his summer job and was
saying goodbye to Grandma and
interest in household organization.
She equates keeping a large family
organized to a juggling act, with
cleaning and meal planning being but
a couple of the balls in the air.
Spending time with children,
participating in family activities
outside the home, involving oneself
in work, church and volunteer
activities and making time for
activities with your spouse are a few
more of the commitments - that
everyone must juggle. Reaching a
balance in these activities is
something for which she strives. To
help her with home organization
tasks, Bartz draws on many
resources.
Audience members who live at
every stage of the organizational
continuum each took away something
from the session that will prove
helpful to them in their daily lives.
The Organizing Your Home seminar

Advisory Committee at Walton's
Little School, who are trying to raise
