Deaths BOYD, Bessie: On Friday, May 13, 2005, Elizabeth "Bessie" (McEwen) Boyd of Seaforth and Zolfo Springs, Florida, in her 94th year. Beloved wife of the late Charles Boyd (1989).

After graduation from Clinton Collegiate Institute, Bessie trained as a nurse at Victoria Hospital in London. She married Charlie Boyd in 1934, and together they farmed on the 12th line of McKillop Township until their retirement. They farmed well and they relaxed in style. From trailers to motor homes, they ranged widely over North America together. Later Bessie enjoyed the British Isles with family. When Bessie moved to Seaforth, she enjoyed many senior activities, especially card playing, and extend- ed her wide circle of friends. Bessie found great pleasure in gardening, baking, travelling and fishing. She kept a thorough diary ever since her training days as a nurse, and was an avid reader. She used her skills as a letter writer to keep in touch with friends and family. Her greatest joy was expressed in caring for her family. She was proud to be a life- time member of the United Church Women and was active originally in Bethel Church and later in Cavan United Church in Winthrop. For 49 years she has wintered in Florida where they built a second life sur- rounded by lifelong caring friends. There she attended the First United Methodist Church in Wauchula. There were special celebrations for their fiftieth wedding anniversary and her 90th birthday within the southern church community. As a member of the Ada Parker Circle she contributed her time and tal- ents to assist the elder and chal- lenged members of Hardee County. Music has always been an impor- tant element for the entire family, and Bessie was a member of the Wauchula Wednesday Musicale which promoted music appreciation and provided scholarship support for talented local students. Friends will be received at the Whitney- Ribey Funeral Home, 87 Goderich Street West, Seaforth on Wednesday (today) from 3-5 and 7- 9 p.m. where the funeral service will be held on Thursday, May 19 at 2:00 p.m. Mr. Bruce Whitmore will offici- ate.

This day is remembered And quietly kept, No words are needed, We shall never forget. Our lives go on without you, But nothing is the same, All we have left are special memo- ries, And your picture in a frame. We will always love and miss you. - Forever remembered, love your family. As time goes on without you, And the days turn into years, They hold a million memories, And a thousand silent tears. To us you were so special, What more is there to say, Except to wish with all our hearts, That you were here today. - Always loved and forever missed, Mom 46-20xlcc TEATERO, Leo James: Died May 20, 1993. In memory of my husband and best friend. Oh, the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a per- son, Having neither to weigh thoughts, nor measure words, But to pour them all out, just as they are, Chaff and grain together, knowing that a faithful hand will take and sift them, Keep what is worth keeping and then, with a breath of kindness blow the rest away. Always remembered. To my Leo, Frances Teatero 46-20-1 MCNICHOL: In loving memory of a dear husband, dad, grandfather and great grandfather, Ralph McNichol who passed away 5 years ago, May 23rd, 2000. Five years since that sad day, The one we loved was called away. God took him home, it was His will, But in our hearts he liveth still. - Love always Anna McNichol and Families 46-20x1 MALONE: In loving memory of Fred, May 21, 1976 and Gary, May 22, 1985.

Madill Secondary School should soon no longer need to apply for offi- cial "border -crossing" status from the Avon Maitland District School Board. At a regular meeting Tuesday, May 10, trustees were given notice of a pro- posal to adjust attendance boundaries at Madill, Mitchell District High School (MDHS) and Central Huron Secondary School in Clinton. They'll vote on the. pro- posal in late May, but all indications suggest it will receive full support. The changes address the fact that certain outlying areas of the former SDHS attendance boundary -- all of which was transferred to Central Huron upon closure in 2003 -- actually lie much closer to either Madill or MDHS. Under the proposal, stu- dents living in a portion of Grey ward southeast of Brussels will be expected to attend Madill, while the extreme western reaches of Hibbert ward will become associated strictly with MDHS instead of a shared arrangement between MDHS and Central Huron. The changes were actually approved as part of an earlier attempt to close SDHS in 2000. But after a legal challenge successfully halted that attempt, authors of the sub- sequent closure process failed to include them, "All six identified families chose to border cross to F.E, Madill when the original motion was rescinded," explains a report from Avon Maitland staff, delivered to trustees for the May 10 meet- ing. They are pleased that the boundaries arc being reviewed and possibly changed as the change would eliminate thc need for them to apply each year for border crossing." One students, whose sib- ling attends Madill, has cho- sen to attend Central Huron. If the proposals arc approved, that student will he the only one in thc area requesting border -crossing status. In Hibbert, one family cur- rently attends Central Huron, hut they are former residents of Seaforth who moved into the ward within the last two years. Community Calendar MON. MAY 23 WED.
