You did so many things for us, Your heart was kind and true, And when we needed someone, We would always count on you. The special years will not retum, When we were all together, But with the memories in our hearts, You will walk with us forever. You had a nature we could not help loving, And a heart that was purer than gold, And to those who knew you and loved you, Your memory will never grow cold. - Sadly missed by Ross, Marian, Glenn and families. 46-09xlcc DEJONG: In loving memory of my dear husband, Tony, who was called to his Heavenly home, March 7, 2004. Those whom we love go out of sight, But never out of mind, They are cherished in the hearts, Of those they left behind. Loving and kind in all his way, Upright and just in all his day, Sincere and true in heart and mind, Beautiful memories he left behind. - Loved and remembered forever by his wife Clara and family 46-09x1 VAN VLIET: In loving memory of a dear wife, mother, daughter and sis- ter Dianne, who passed away March 5, 2004. God saw you were getting tired, When a cure was not to be, So He closed His arms around you, And whispered "Come to Me." A golden heart stopped beating, Your gentle hands at rest, God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best. In tears we saw you sinking, We watched you fade away, Our hearts were truly broken, You fought so hard to stay. But when we saw you sleeping, Peacefully and free from pain, We could not wish you back, To suffer that again. So keep your arms around her Lord, And give her special care, Make up for all she suffered, That seemed to us unfair. So many times we've needed you, So many times we've cried, If love could have saved you, You never would have died. - Loved always by John and Andrew van vliet and Leona and Brian Oldfield 46-09-1 celebrate Thinking Day T h e Hensall shuffle - b o a r d scores for Feb. 22 are as fol- lows: Gord Ross 552, Alice Thiel 402, Betty Grenier 360, Dave Woodward 352, Doris Hamilton 351, Donna Smale 343, Jean Crerar 295, Lola Nixon 291.

Box 69. Seaforth. Ontario. NOK 1 WO well in advance of the scheduled date Free listing includes date. time. name of event and location only Space for the Community Calendar is donated by The Huron Expositor dents in Huron and Perth County, following an agree- ment about a "modified calen- dar" between the Avon Maitland and Catholic school boards. The sixth day off school, scheduled for the Friday before the traditional five-day break, will be replaced by an additional school day at the end of June. "As I understand it, (the possibility of taking off the Friday before March Break) had come up as a discussion point for several years previ- ously," said Huron -Perth Catholic District School Board's education superin- tendent. At the board's regular meet- ing Monday, Feb. 28, Martha Dutrizac told trustees the idea was driven largely by sugges- tions from staff members, including those who travel during the break and are forced to pay higher weekend airline rates. The board's chair, however, is concerned about how the change will be perceived by the public. Bernard Murray, a trustee from Perth South, advised the board should "make the mes- sage clear why we would sup- port it," and called on "the teaching profession" to inform the public about the reasons for suggesting an extended break. "I have a problem with the message it sends out to people -- a perception that they will pick up on," Murray said. "People will say, `oh, they're getting an extra day on their March Break'." Dutrizac agreed "the optics are very important," adding each year's school calendar must be approved separately, and that the revised schedule will only happen on a trial basis in 2006. She said future use of the extended break may depend "on the way the month falls." She also noted there should be clear communication that the lost instruction day will he added to the end of the school calendar. Vice chair Mike Miller, meanwhile, spoke in favour of the extra Friday off, suggest- ing parents would also appre- ciate the additional travel day. And in the end, Murray joined his counterparts in a unanimous vote in favour of the 2005-06 school calendar. At its meeting Tuesday, Feb. 22, the Avon Maitland District School Board unani- mously approved a similar calendar with very little dis- cussion.
