The Lord must be a gardener, He planted his garden with care, One day when He looked it over, He saw you suffering there. He took you to his Heavenly home. Where there is no suffering or pain, A thousand prayers won't bring you back. We know because we tried. And neither will a thousand tears, We know because we cried. We often lay awake at nights, When the world is fast asleep, And take a walk down memory lane, With tears upon our cheeks. The years we had with you. Are worth their weight in gold. The joy and laughter that you gave us. Are ours to have and hold. Remembering you is easy to do, We do it every day. But missing you is a heartache. That never goes away. We hold you close within our hearts. And there you will remain. To walk with us throughout our lives, Until we meet again. Our son, Our brother. Our friend. - Mom and Dad. Carol and Rick.

TM HURON EXPOSITOR, MAY 13, 1111111-21 Lions auction 337 items on TV BY LEE ANN WATERMAN Mitchell Advocate Staff The Lions Clubs of Mitchell, Dublin and Seaforth held their annual TV auction, last Saturday, May 9. The event, which goes back at least 12 years, raises money for Lions' projects in three communities, such as maintenance and improvement of the Lions' parks in each town. The Lions have not yet tallied the bids for the auction, but Mitchell Club President Allen Muegge says the event was very successful. The phones at Mitchell Seaforth Cable TV in Dublin were ringing off the hook. as people from the area called in to bid on everything hair cuts. manicures and clothing to oil changes, building supplies and dog food. • Businesses in the area donated 337 items, as well as Lion Joe Steffler holds up bird house for viewers to see as Harold Tumbull takes bids on the item. The Mitchell, Seaforth and Dublin Lions Clubs held their annual tv auction, on cable tv on Saturday. Proceeds from the auction will help fund various projects in the community. WATERMAN PHOTO cash donations, totalling $14,000, says auction coordinator Gord Rimmer. "It's wonderful community involvement for the donors of the articles," says Rimmer. In addition to local causes, the area clubs contribute to Lions international which operates camps and homes for people with impaired vision or other special needs and provides money to train seeing -eye, hearing -ear, and special -skills dogs; and donates funds to areas hit by tornadoes, storms or other natural disasters. Dublin and St. Columban schools linked by new cable modem system BY LEE ANN WATERMAN Mitcehll Advocate Staff A cable modem has reinvented the buddy system for students at St. Patrick's School in Dublin and St. Columban School. For years, older and younger students have been paired -up to practice their reading. But. this year, the students can read together without ever leaving their classrooms. Teachers Marie Eickmeier and Sherry Kelly arrange times for the buddies to "meet" and the two classes are joined through the magic of technology. "Good morning. Grade 6- 7." Kelly's students hear the younger students on the television which is connected to the computer and projects images and sounds to the entire class. "Good morning, Grade 1- 2," they chorus in response. One student sits down a Seaforth & District Community Centres HOCKEY POOL '97-98 RANK STANDINGS Pts. April 12/98 1., E.F.D. 88 2. Go Starr! 84 3.

When the story is finished the students wave good -dye to each other; the images appear on the TV screens. In 1997, Huron -Perth County Roman, Catholic Separate School Board together with the Elgin County Roman Catholic Board received 51.2 million from the provincial government under the Technology Incentive Partnership Program (TIPP). The project. which is 50 per cent funded by the school boards and private sector partners, had several components: the cablingi five new computers for every primary (grades 1-3), classroom; mobile teaching carts for each school which are equipped with televisions. scanners and digital cameras. etc.: internet access: and other improvements to technology in the schools and the hoard offices. Currently, seven of the hoard's 19 schools are connected by the cable modem. "The focus (of the project) was on primary grades, but there arc benefits to the whole system, says Fran Craig., coordinator of the project for the Huron -Perth Board. The Grade 1 and 2 students at St. Patrick's are eager to share what they've learned through the, project: they love to get e-mail from their buddies; they know the "e" in e-mail stands for electronic; they remember the class user name and password. "They 'each have their own disk," say Eickmeier of her students. "They save their work on the disk and when, they want to use it again. they can get hack into it just like that." "When the trustees came for a visit. they were amazed the students could put a disk• into the computer. call up a story and work away," adds Craig. The older students are also le'arning a lot from the pilot project. "For the 6/7's, it brings the task (of writing stories) to reality because they have a real audience," says Craig. "They use their best editing skills.because know they are modelling for the younger students." "They've learned about on- line etiquette. respecting others' privacy," adds Kelly. "They've learned the responsibility that goes with (the technology)." In order for the school board to access this technology. it had to get Mitchell Seaforth Cable TV, on side. For cable television signals are sent from the cable Station to communities and homes in the area: for cable modems' to work, signals have to travel in the opposite direction as well, which means more equipment at both ends. Jeff Visser, who has worked extensively with the board on this project. says the company was glad for the opportunity to try -out the service, ,which Nigger cable companies were already offering. locally. '"We needed someone behind it in order to test it," says Visser. "The sehools became our test fed for the cable' modem system." The next step is to offer the service to homeowners and businesses in the communities. alt a quicker alternative to traditional phone -line internes access. Parts of Dublin, Seaforth. St. Columban, Zurich and Mitchell, including the three schools have access to the system. And Mitchell- Seaforth' Cable is connected to Bluewater Cable in Holmesville which has serviced Clinton and Goderich. Craig says the board would like to be able to expand on what they've started -connect the rest .of the schools by cable and update computers used by older students in the system. Unfortunately the province is no longer offering grants for this type of project. "It comes down to what priorities we set within the board to continue." says Craig. Eickmeier, Kelly and their students are enthusiastic about the benefits of the program. • "I'd like to see it continue." says Kelly. "I hope with the success of the pilot project. we will be able to branch out the other classrooms and schools." Catholic school board has approved four, new projects BY GREGOR CAMPBELL Expositor Staff Heather Bettger helps collect socks. and underwear. when she isn't doing other things. She its a busy young lady. For her efforts. the 16 -year- old from Goderich. a Grade 11 student at St. Anne's Catholic Secondary School at Clinton. was presented with an Ontario Catholic Schools' Trustees Association award certificate at the Huron -Perth Catholic District School Board meeting at Dublin on Apr. 27. Bettger doesn't have a lot of spare time on her hands. Director of education Gaetan Blanchette called her "positive" and "caring" and "an excellent role model at St. Anne's." He outlined many of her recent accomplishments for trustees. She is helping to organize a socks and underwear drive for the Huron County Christmas Bureau. Heather won the St. Anne's leadership award last year and had the highest marks in Grade 10 religion. She assists with first communion preparation days at St. Peter's Church in Goderich. At school. Bettger is also involved in the "Kids helping Kids" club at school and has been instrumental in organizing a poverty awareness trip to the Dominican Republic. In addition, she volunteers for the annual bike-a-thon for cancer and helps with the Lions Club's annual barbeque. sec The Huron -Perth Catholic District School Board approved four projects at its Apr. 27 meeting, with a total cost of 5172,435, for submission to Ontario's education ministry under the school board restructuring fund. The largest is a video conferencing technology project, at $139,500, that could electronically link the board's two high schools, in Clinton and Stratford. For example the two school councils could meet electronically.. This system would also "provide a training access point at both ends of our system for teacher professional development, facilitate trustee communications in a very large geographic board (same square kilometres as the Prince Edward Island)." the application reads. Other projects are an electronic sharing of resources project ($22.435). trustee communication project ($5.000) and computerized IEP for special education project ($5.500) that are being submitted to the provincial restructuring fund. The latter, according to the application: "will allow special education and classroom teachers to develop the IEP collaboratively and save secretarial time in typing them after resource teachers have handwritten them. "It will ensure consistency across the region, especially as students enter secondary school.
