It's great news that Helen
Williamson is home and doing very
well after having hip surgery. We
will keep her in our thoughts as she
continues to improve.
Visiting on the weekend with
Howard and Audrey Hackwell were
Patricia and Sebastian Andrades.
They returned to Whitby on Sunday
afternoon. The trip home was not
uneventful as Patricia experienced a
very frightening event. While
travelling down the 401, a tire flew
off a jeep and hit the hood of her
vehicle. It sprung the hood so she
couldn't see. She managed to pull
off to the side of the road without
further mishap and the tire flew off
to hit another vehicle on the off
ramp.
The car suffered severe damage.
The accident was covered on TV as
were Patricia and Sebastian's
interview. Patricia was able to call
her parents and advise them of the
accident prior to them seeing it on
television.
Our condolences to the Lubbers
and Salverda families on the passing
of Pete Salverda.
The Walton Hall hosted a roast
beef dinner on the weekend. There
was only a small turnout due to this
reporter's forgetfulness about
sending in the coming event. Ooops!
There's another in two weeks.
Home for a short visit is Neil
McDonald with his mother Leona
McDonald. He will help out with
the remaining corn and catch up
with some visiting as well.
Speaking of harvest, the weather
has been just great. The remaining
soybean fields I drive by have now
been harvested. Corn is disappearing
and the fields are turning brown as
the ploughs are busy turning corn
stubble down.
Last year around this time was the
first school day cancelled due to
storms and many people were
without hydro for a few days.
As noted on the radio,
deer/vehicle collisions are
happening frequently as Don and Pat
We really
goofed!
Let's just put it down to' one of
those days.
If anyone was confused by a story
on page 19 of last week's issue of The
Citizen regarding the Catholic school
board you had good reason. The
headline "More money than expected
for Catholic school renovations" was
correct.
Unfortunately, the story that
follqwed was one from several years
ago - in essence old news. The names
have changed and the collective
agreement it spoke of between the
teachers and board, has, of course,
expired.
How this could happen is too
complex to explain. Suffice it to say
that it's easier than one might think.
However, we do apologize. for this
mistake and regret any confusion it
may have caused.
Nolan know: Darn deer decided to
meet their car but they were not
injured. Of course the deer and car
were not so lucky.
Congratulations to Shannon Craig
and Dave Soontiens who became
engaged on the weekend. Helen
reports no wedding plans as yet but
she's ready when they are.

weeks include Anne Halley, Helen
Boven, Mackenzie McGavin, Brent

The Walton Little School has been
busy. The Stars have tallied colours,
fall and the letter E. Simple words
like eye, ear, eat and egg, were
practised.
Their science project included
carnations, water and food colouring
and they now have beautiful
coloured carnations.
They have moved on to the letter
H. They glued pictures of things in
the house and made handprints with
paint, potato heads and hearts. They
practised words like hat, hair, heart,
hand and hot.
The Butterfly class has been
discovering sorting and counting
zoo animals. They have been
working on their animal storybook
with focuS on zebras and the colours
black and white.
The favourite song 5 Little
Monkeys Swinging on a Tree was
practised many times which helps
greatly with enhancing counting
skills at a young age.
The senior pre-school Acorn class
had been learning about real pigs
and goats as well as the characters,
The Three Little Pigs and Three
Billy Goats Gruff.
They have been learning about
patterning and sequencing and are
making up their own stories. They
illustrated their own hooks about the
stories.
They are writing the number 3 and
word three.

Qualitative Research Regarding
Seaforth Community Hospital
A volunteer community group consisting of Dr. Ken Rodney, Maureen Spittal and Ken
Larone is collecting this information to help formulate the correct direction for future development
of Seaforth Community Hospital. By participating in this questionnaire we hope all citizens of the
community as well as the community organizations will understand the expectations for the
hospital as it moves forward.
These questions have been previously tested and refined through the co-operation of focus
groups during the past two weeks. More than 60 people participated in answering these questions
and provided additional personal opinions.
If you wish to add personal opinions to your answers in the questionnaire please attach them
to your reply and send by Nov. 24 to The Huron Expositor, 11 Main St., Seaforth, ON NOK 1 WO
