This event offers a keynote presentation on The Future of Public Education, by Liz Sandals, trustee at the Upper Grand District School Board and president of the Ontario Public School Boards’ Association. Workshops and displays will give participants a taste of many aspects of the public education system and its related services for students. These include presentations on early literacy, school councils, fundraising, risk management for volunteers, secondary school issues, special education, managing change, and communications. Displays will feature many community organizations that work closely alongside the district school board in serving young people. This year’s forum has been planned by a group of parent and community volunteers, who are all members of school councils in Stratford. Each year the forum moves to a different school in the district, becoming the responsibility of school council members from the local group of schools. The event is an initiative of the Avon Maitland District School Board through its School Council Liaison Committee, a board committee with representation from across the district. Registration is still open to anyone interested in attending. Visitors on the day are welcome to attend workshops as space allows. For more information please visit the board’s website at www.avonmaitland.on.ca Check out our WEBSITE at www.northhuron.on.ca McDonald, Mr. and Mrs. Gordon McGavin, and Mr. and Mrs. Carl Johnston from their families. The quartet Beyond Bliss sang the introit. Every Time I Feel the Spirit and used their musical gifts throughout the service singing such songs as Amazing Grace, Operator, Precious Lord Take my Hand, and the benediction. The choir also lent their voices in singing the very beautiful anthem, Praise God. The children, 10 in total, brought forth their music in the form of bells, playing Go Now in Peace. Readers for the service were Graeme Craig and Laura Black. Joan Tuchlinsky announced the birth of Jessica Faith Kelso, daughter of Heather (McGavin) and Bryan. She arrived a little early but both her and mom are doing fine. Joan gave her reflection on faith, the size of a mustard seed. The morning ended with folks going downstairs for lunch and fellowship Putting some muscle into it Judy Lee really got into her job of mashing potatoes for the Sunday evening Walton Hall board supper.

Election Clerk Municipality of Central Huron 482-9804 PEOPLE AROL ID WALTON By Patty Banks Call 887-6156 To me, being able to organize events is a gift, and so having said that, I’d like to congratulate Gloria Wilbee and Judy Emmrich for organizing such a great mystery tour for 17 Walton United Church Women on Saturday. The ladies met at the church, then proceeded on the tour riding with selected drivers who knew the destinations. The first stop was at Brickman’s Botanical Gardens near Wartburg. Most of the ladies had never been there and as they were taken on a guided tour, learned a lot about all the different perennials that were growing there. If you are planning a perennial garden at some point, this would be a great place to go to see just how tall and large the different plants grow. It would be a beautiful spot to walk through in the spring and summer when everything is in bloom. The ladies got back into the cars and headed for the next point of interest. It wasn't until lots of horse and buggies were seen that they realized they were at Millbank where they enjoyed touring through Millbank Family Furniture. If you have never been there you will surely enjoy seeing the most beautiful homemade furniture. Of course Anna Mae’s was just around the corner so everyone guessed where dinner was to be. It was a full house and they had to wait for awhile but the delicious roast beef supper with various desserts was well worth the wait. The ladies were then blessed with words of encouragement and healing from Tina Heathers PhD, MBA, Reiki Master. After giving their thanks to Heather, the ladies also thanked Gloria and Judy for a fantastic tour. Speaking about organizers, Shannon Gibbons once again is putting on the third annual haunted house at the Walton Hall on Friday, Oct. 27. Trust me, with the wild imaginings of Shannon and her brother, Trevor and some of their teen and adult ghoulish friends this night promises to be a spooky, fun night. It runs from 6 - 10 p.m. for children of all ages. There will be games and eating, a Halloween costume judging event and dancing later on. Kids are asked to bring goodies to share and a silver collection will help defray the costs of the evening. I must wam everyone to watch out for the Grim Reaper, the Witch that loves to eat little kids, (you can tell by the size of her that she loves her food), the crazed chef at his Road Kill Cafe, the mad and horrible, hunchbacked hangman and much more. See you there ... those who dare to come out! For some of the residents in Walton who found yellow garbage bags full of leaves in their yard Saturday morning just smile and be thankful, then try to guess who did it. Who were these kind, thoughtful souls who get up very early in the morning to do such kind deeds? I bet that there are a lot of you who hope that they will return as more leaves descend.
