SYRUP IN SPRING - Barb Storey shows students from Seaforth Public School how sap is taken from
the trees at a maple bush near Winthrop last week. It was a sunny day for the students' excursion. One
of the special guests was a teacher visiting from England.
English teachers tour area
BY MICHELE GREENE
Six educators from England are
learning about education Canadian -
style at the Huron -Perth Roman
Catholic Separate School Board.
The board is involved in a
teacher -exchange program with
educators from the Kent County
Council in southeast England. For
the past five years, about 30 Eng-
lish teachers have exchanged with
the London Board of Education.
This year, the London board
chose not to participate m the
exchange. Several area boards,
including the local separate board,
the Huron County Board of Educa-
tion, the Lambton Public Board of
Education, the Lambton Separate
School Board, and the Kent County
Board of Education, were eager to
host the English educators. -, -
Richard Spoerry, school services
manager with the Kent County
Council, said there about 65 educa-
tors in Ontario, Vancouver,
Calgary, and Prince Edward Island
on the same exchange.
"I have a strong commitment to
having people learn from one
another. The problems we're facing
in education are the same ones
everyone around the world are
facing," said Dr. James Brown,
director of education, who is par-
ticipating in the exchange.
Dr. Brown, St. Patrick's School
Dublin/St. Columban Principal Don
Farwell, and four other teachers
will return to England in July.
On Friday, the English educators
toured the separate board's schools
including St. Patrick's School,
Dublin. The group also toured St.
James school in Seaforth.
"I think the biggest difference I
People express
more concerns on
McKillop paving.
Some McKillop Sideroad 10-11
residents are peeved about paving.
A delegation of eight ratepayers
from McKillop Sideroad 10-11
attended McKillop Township's
April meeting recently with a peti-
tion of 83 signatures concerning the
application of asphalt on their road.
The group wanted the same expo-
sure as a delegation from Sideroad
12-13 that presented a proposal to
McKillop Council last month to
have their road paved.
At a meeting in February there
was some discussion concerning the
application of asphalt on Sideroad
10 between Highway 8 and County
Rd. 17. (No decision was made on
the work at that time). That dis-
cussion sparked the March response
from the Sideroad 12-13 residents.
Now Sideroad 10-11 residents are
speaking up.
In a letter to McKillop Council,
the group stated: "We had all
believed that once McKillop Town-
ship had built up all of their exist-
ing roads to their satisfaction, that
Sidcroad 10 would then be paved.
Maybe we had taken this too much
for granted...We are positive that
Sideroad 10 carries more traffic
than concession 12-13, and that our
traffic is not just seasonal, but
daily!"
Sidcroad 10 is a major link from
Highway 8 to the boundary of
McKillop and paving it would
benefit all of the concessions from
one end of the township to the
other, according to the letter.
"Sideroad 10 is the main artery
for the many McKillop residents
who attend St..Columban Roman
Catholic Church. Their children
attend school there and many of the
township's children utilize the St.
Columban soccer field."
No final decisions have been
made by the township on the appli-
cation of asphalt on sideroads.

find is the community feel," said
Spoerry.
The Kent County Council edu-
cates approximately 300,000 stu-
dents in 700 schools. As a result,
Spoerry said the teachers, princi-
pals, and administration don't know
everyone as well as they do at the
Huron -Perth board.
Stephen Foster, area business
manager for the west Kent area,
said he was overwhelmed at the
distance between the schools and
the amount of students that are
bused.
"The part of England we come
from is very dense," he said. So,
schools are closer together and
fewer students are eligible for bus-
ing.
Spoerry said the schools are also
governed differently. In England,
each school has a governing body
of elected parents and teachers who
are responsible for the budget,
hiring, and all supplies. About 10
years ago, the English system was
governed like Canada's with one
large decision-making body like the
board.

Mystery neighbour
hints revealed
Quite a few people have guessed
Walton's mystery neighbor but fa
those of you who need a few more
hints I'll list them now...She taught
at Ryland Junction Ont. and also
met her husband to be there. They
were later married in Walton by
Rev. Cummings. Before she
married she also taught school at
Union SS #12 school. One of her
pupils was Jim Williamson. They
lived a while in Quebec and also
B.C. They then lived on the farm in
Walton for 50 years. Can you guess
who it is now? As a young women
she had black hair and had a nick
name she still goes by.
The Patchwork of Talent auction
sale that took place on April 4 was
a great success and great fun.
Anyone interested in decorating
their homes with handmade crafts
and needing fire wood or yardwork
done, etc. came to the right spot
that night. There are a lot of
talented people in Walton. Richard
Lobb was the auctioneer and was
aided by the multi -talented Howard
Hackwell, Neil McGavin and Craig
Hackwell. Also assisting (to make
sure that things ran smoothly) were
Marie McGavin, Patty Banks and
Helen Craig. Graeme Craig and
Randy Banks, Marilyn McDonald
and Barry Heogy had their jobs of
recording items and numbers and
taking care of the receipts etc.
Members of the United Church
Women (U.C.W.) looked after the
food booth selling pies and hotdogs.
I have since talked to some of the
recipients of the auction and
Graeme Craig reports that Marion
Godkin makes some very delicious
buns. He purchased three dozen of
them. Keith Wilbee was very
pleased with Pearl McCallum's
Cinnamon Buns. I haven't received
my order of natural fertilizer yet but
I'm sure to have the prettiest
Petunias in Walton this summer.
For those of you who didn't get a
chance to go see the Harmony
Kings Spring show Saturday you
missed the chance to see Don
McDonald or should I say `Judge
Peabody', sentence a poor prisoner__
to jail `till hell freezes over'. A
very long time. The Harmony Hi-
lites sang a few numbers as well,
from the toe -tapping Java Jive to
the haunting melody of `Irish
Lullaby'.
Happy Birthday to Crystal
Gibbons on April 13.
Greeters at Duff's United Church
April 10 were Jim, Linda and
Andrew and Sarah McDonald. Rev.
Banks welcomed everyone. He
talked to the young children about
the story of Thomas and how he
didn't believe that Jesus was alive
until he saw and touched the nail
holes in Jesus' hands.
Viola Kirkby read scripture and
Heidi and Fred McClure and
Marion and Laveme Godkin served
communion.
