By Errol Skillender Chinchilla Club members pick out their pets On Jan 22, the 4-H Chinchilla Club held their second meeting. President, Tanner Merner started the meeting off with our 4-H pledge, then secretary Ian Murray read the minutes of the last meeting. Leader Barb Storey handed out our 2005 4-H membership cards. Leader Ray Storey 4-H Chinchilla Club showed us how to pick out a good quality Chinchilla. Then we talked about how to take care of our 4-H animals. This week we went out to the Storey's Chinchilla barn and we each picked out two Chinchillas to take home. We drew a number to see what order we got to pick out our chinchilla. Over the next few months we will be caring for our two chinchillas in preparation for the judging competition. Our next meeting will be held on Feb. 5 By Jessie Leeming Press Reporter THE HURON EXPOSITOR, Feb. 2. 2005-11 Winter sports keep St. Columban students active Melissa Murray, Jayne Van Bakel, Anne Visser and Christina Simons are four young women from the area who will be travelling to the Dominican Republic. They will be joining a group of about 20 other students from St. Michael High School who will be participating in a "poverty awareness" trip to Consuelo, Dominican Republic, from Feb. 19- 26/05. While there, they will be living with a local family, sharing the living conditions and life experiences of the people there. Each of the young women will be travelling with an extra suitcase filled with much needed supplies for the local people. Among those items are toiletries such as toothbrushes and toothpaste, bar soap, deodorant; some first aid supplies such as band- aids, gauze, tape, ointment, school supplies such as pencils, markers and pens; and new or gently used clothing and toys. Anyone wishing more information, or to donate financially, or with needed items, can contact one of the young women. Tom Melady reports that the "Old Tyme Music Days" held at the community centre on Tuesday afternoons are a toe -tapping response to the cold days of winter. Over 175 people attended the most recent gathering, with over 20 fiddles among the instruments warming up the atmosphere. All levels of quality are well represented, like a great big "jam session," so that no one needs to feel shy about their talent. Participation in winter sports has kept the students at St. Columban School active as three groups of Grade 7 and 8 students participate in games of hockey in Mitchell arena and curling at the Seaforth Curling Club. Each class will enjoy some skiing as the Grade 4 and 5 classes will travel to Cobble Hills and the Grade 7 and 8 classes will travel to Chickopee. The students are busy preparing their speeches which will be said in each classroom. The best speeches from each class will be heard at a later date in the gym. "Wacky Hair Day" brought out the best creativity from the students, some arriving with the worst of bad hair day and some with spiked and coloured hair. The Grade 4 and 5 classroom facilitated a bake sale which was enjoyed by the entire school. Deacon Ted MacDonnell of Toronto, visited in St. Columban, Seaforth and Clinton and spoke to the parishioners at mass about third world conditions for many, especially the children. He spoke of the work being done through Christian Child Care International, a Catholic mission organization that works in developing countries aiming to mobilize support for the poor by promoting projects in the area.
