Home My WebLink AboutThe Huron Expositor, 1995-04-05, Page 9Local 7 Walton family enjoys Quarterama If you live near Walton Public school and if you happened to be outside last Thursday and Friday you may have heard a 'jet noise'. Ms. Jewitt, the kindergarten teacher brought her 'two-line Stunt Kite' to school to show the children. It has an eight foot wing span and is flown with a 200 Ib. test line. She explained some of thesafety rules when being around the kite. It is definitely an adult kite. It is also a kite that can be steered with the two lines. It was certainly a kite that the kids will remember. Reporter Jay Cochrane from grade four told me that after reading a story about doughnuts some kids decided to do a doughnut survey. They picked five of their favorite and then went room to room to see which of the five were chosen to be the most popular. Well Sprinkle Doughnuts won by a long shot. Sugar doughnut came in second and the (east liked was the Lemon sugared doughnut. Adam Coombs, also of grade four said that they teamed up with the kindergartens to be reading buddies. The grade 4s will be reading them all kinds of stories. In Mrs. Scott's grade 3s were happy to know that their earlier prediction that March came in like a lamb and would go out Iikc a Walton by Patty Banks 887-6860 Lion came true. The class is also learning two new computer games - Mahjongg ( a Chinese counting game) and Tic Tac Drop (a game played against the computer). Ricky Pethick from grade two reported that his class has been getting into the Spring of things by making 'Pop-up Spring' pictures. The grade one class was very excited to have their teacher's aide, Mrs. Dolmage bring in her new baby. The class had a very special gift that they had made themselves to present to them. The kids had all been given a guilt block on which they designed and colored with fabric crayons and then Mrs. Bennett sewed it all together to make the baby quilt. The kids also put on a magic air show to entertain their company. They were all magicians and used ideas about the properties of air, which they have been learning about, as part of their magic. Congratulations to Gloria Love who won a Walkman from playing Scabble game at Lyons in Seaforth. John and Ruthie Uyl and Judy Maplewood goes green Even though March was off to a snowy start, residents were very pleased to have everything in the green for the Irish. The Huron Strings were at Maplewood for the St. Patricks Day party. Their music and clogging numbers performed by Marie Flynn and Jane Ladd kept the Irish spirit alive. Visits from Carol Carter, Bill Gibson and Marion Rose kept with the Irish theme with their musical entertainment. It was great to sing along to those unforgettable tunes. Hymn sing with Minna Scott is a feature the residents truly appreciate every Sunday. morning. Other week- ly events of euchre and bingo are also enjoyed. The cribbage tournament was of interest to many who dared to compete. Bert Walters managed to pull through to be the champion. The Snowdown Emporium of Burlington arrived just in time for spring. Their visit allowed residents to restock their wars for warmer weather attire.. `!t$;lucky winners. of the door prizes were Hazel Dillon. Jessie Finlayson and Janet Cluff.

A very enjoyable. outing. One can only guess where the road will lead us next month. Stay tuned! Emmrich went to Toronto on Sat. to attend the Quartarama - The largest Quarter horse show in Canada. They especially enjoyed watching the 'cattle penning.' Another fabulous turnout for the United Church Women Beef luncheon and Card day at Dufrs United last week. This was the last one for this year and the United Church Women would like to thank everyone who came out and sup- ported the event. Mary and Jim Mann were greeters at Duff's United Church on April 1. After the Call to Worship Linda McDonald and daughter Sarah read the Lenten Liturgy and Sarah extin- guished another candle. Rev. Randy Banks acknowledged the beautiful floral arrangements placed in the church in memory of Roy Williamson. The daffodil arrange- ment was donated to the church by the Cancer Society. He announced that there will be a Maundy Thursday communion service at 8 p.m. and that Easter Worship service will be in Walton at 11:30. There will be a Music Evening on April 23 with Eduard and Christine Klassen featuring the Paraguayan harp and Christian instrumental music, and also local talent. This event is sponsored by the UCW. When the young worshippers were called forward Jennifer McClure volunteered to help attach the felt grapes to the vines on the lenten garden trellis. Then Rev. Banks made note of their Bible verse for the day. Paul had said to run the race and the prize was everlasting life. So Rev. Banks continued on about different kinds of prizes. He brought out a glass framed memento of his younger days that was filled with ribbons and badges. He showed the kids the one that he was most proud of; the emblem that proved how the hockey team he played on won the trophy. The next item he produced was his Sunday School certificate and seals. So the ribbons and badges etc. were prizes that were won. The other was a form of rec- ognition. No one had to win or lose in order to get recognized. We don't have to win anything to earn God's love. The sermon was called, 'Surpass- ing Worth.' The UCW will meet Wed. at 8 p.m. and members are reminded that the copper contest will be held that night. lii 1 14• 1 I\,ii‘...,, ( dt0 ,irt'. 1995 SOCCER REGISTRATION FOR THE ST.
