Gulutzens
greet
at Duff's
Steve and Evelyn Gulutzen,
greeted members of Duff's United
Church, Walton, on the fourth
Sunday of Lent. A surprise for Rev.
Joan Tuchlinsky was the
congregation all gathered in the
centre pews of the sanctuary, which
Rev. Joan commented was really
nice.
Announcements included the sad
report of the passing of Vera
McDonald, a former member oT
Duff's United Church: Rev. Joan
expressed condolences to the family
and extended family who were
present.
Scripture readers are still needed.
Many in rural communities are

The worship service on March 28
will be on reflecting on same gender
marriages. There are handout sheets
available on the back tables of the
church to review prior to service. A
follow-up workshop will be held at
7:30 p.m. Sunday evening.

There were 12 young people.
gathered for time for the young at
heart. Rev. Joan asked the children
how they welcomed people. They
answered with, "saying hello,
shaking hands, having a party for
them and praying for them."
Greeters welcome everyone to
Duff's Church every Sunday. She
showed the children a leis and
explained how that is a welcome
tradition in Hawaii.
She asked them how it made them
feel when they were welcomed.
They replied, "happy, warm and
accepted".
-Jesus welcomed everyone to be
included and encourages to welcome
everyone.
The senior choir anthem was
Giver of the Perfect Gift.
The scripture reader was Marie
McGavin, who read the parable of
the prodigal son.
The reflection presented by Rev.
Joan dealt With how people quite
often make assumptions about
others by how they look. Christians
need to view people from a different
perspective, through the eyes of
Christ, People's situations are not
always from their own faults or
personal choices and people need to
look beyond human judgement.
The parable of the prodigal son
showed a father who forgave his son
for his poor choices and behaviour
and ran to greet him on his'return.

By Stew Slater
Special to The Citizen
A sarcasm-tinged "Good luck,"
uttered at a regular meeting of the
Huron-Perth Catholic District
School Board on March 22, could
quite likely become a common
reaction to a co-operative effort to
try and convince Prime Minister
Paul Martin's government that
school boards should be exempt
from paying the Goods and Services
Tax (GST).
But another comment — that it
"doesn't hurt to try, though" — will
most likely prevail, and Liberal
Finance Minister Raiph Goodale
could find himself the recipient of a
number of letters similar to the one
Niagara College. He was called to
the bar in 1980.
The other guest speaker is Irene
Mathyssen who has been a member
of the New Democratic Party for
more than 16 years.
She has served in a dumber of
offices in her riding association and
was elected in 1990, to the
Legislative Assembly of Ontario as
the MPP for Middlesex. As an MPP,
she served as assistant to the Chief
Government Whip, as Parliamentary
Assistant to two Ministers of the
Environment, Ruth Grier and Bud
Wildman, and as Associate Minister
of Culture, Tourism, and Recrea-
tion.
After the election in 1995, she
returned to teaching and to the work
in her riding association.
Mathyssen is currently a member
of provincial executive of the New
Democratic Party where she serves
as the southwest representative. She
is also a member of the ONDP
School Team which assisted the
caucus and party with the education
policy, "A Brighter Idea for
Education."
Mathyssen is the nominated
Federal NDP candidate in London
Fanshawe.
sent recently by the Huron-Perth
board.
"In the Federal Throne Speech of
Feb. 2, 2004, your government
announced that you will provide all
municipalities with full relief from
the portion of the GST they currently
pay," reads the letter, signed by
board chair Ron Marcy.
The letter goes on to suggest
that Canadian school boards
should be offered the same re-
lief.
According to Business
Superintendent Gerry Thuss, a
number of Ontario-wide education
lobby, groups have identified the
issue and advised members to
pressure the federal government
through such letters.
