Merry Christmas. WINTER By Laura Lee Creces Grade 5 St. Boniface School I, heard the church bells chime the early hour, I felt the chilly cold wind, The icy snow teased my tingling toes. The snow shone softly in the sun's early rays, The wind whistled shrilly through the keyhole, It made my ears ring. I heard the happy childrens' shouts, Their cries of winter delight, I turned by back, It was time to getwarm and have in- door fun. The People Who Forgot Christmas By Chad Brown Grade 5 St. Boniface School "Jen9y get into bed" yelled her father. "I'm coming down to tuck you in." Jenny's father came downstairs to tuck her in. Before he left the room Jenny asked him to tell her a story and he thought one up. This is -the one. T'was long ago, far over the sea, there was a little island in the Indian Ocean which was discovered by seven people. They came on an airplane but they had no fuel to fly it back. The island was deserted. On this warm summer night it was Christmas. These people were lost. They forgot about God. As they were laying on the beach they suddenly awoke. When an angel appeared to them saying, "The Spirit will come upon you." Then in front of them an image of the nativity. The angel said,, 'You are the followers of God. You shall make this land new and follow the Lord. The next day they built a village and dedicated it to the Lord. They called it Peace. GoodlYight Jenny. • • LOVE IS RED , By Joey Gelinas Grade 5 St. Boniface Love is red It smells likefresh spring day. It tastes like strawberry shortcake. It sounds like a robin's song. .

Times -Advocate, December 24, 1986 No objections to major Glean -out Drain report in None of the two dozen Zurich and Hay township property owners who attended a public meeting objected to the recommended major clean-out of the Zurich drain. The only concerns were the costs to individual ratepayers. . Reeve Bob Fisher toted that the drain was first cleaned out in 1942, and nothing has been done in the past 19 years. During that time farmers were permitted to install culverts without first obtaining engineering specifications. Many culverts along the drain are now too high. # Don Pletch of Huron -Middlesex Engineering Ltd. used maps and drawings to explain in detail all. that would be involved in a major clean- out. He said MTC would pay 'the estimated 940,000 cost fbr the Highway 84 crossing. • • Keith Westlake wanted to know if the clean-out would include the drain CHRISTMAS MEANING By Jenny Morrison Grade 6 - Zurich Public School sleepless nights early morning last minute shopping well wrapped presents ornaments breaking the lit up tree the story of the Bethlehem boy family love Joy is what Christmas is all about Oh what fun to open all our gifts, Y is a new year of fun and happiness.

Taking into account benefit and outlet assessments, Pletch gave a "ballpark" figure of :100 on. an average one-quarter acre lot in the village. On agricultural land, $1,200 per hectare will be allowed for crop loss, and 83,700 per hectare for right of way where there is too much spoilage to spread. Fisher said that after checking in- to various methods of payment for Zurich residents, he had concluded that the cheapest way would be for property owners to pay the entire cost at once. Otherwise, they would also be paying the interest on borrowed money. - Huron County weed inspector Joe Gibson attended the meeting to get SANTA CLAUS By Kim Lovie Grade 8 - Zurich Public School Santa Claus looks big and fat, In his red suit and fluffy hat, Santa comes with lots of toys, For all the good girls and boys, Santa comes in a big red sleigh, And when the children see him they all yell YEAH!

Tell them that I will be coming in the sleigh next year. Will you ask one of the children to the North -Pole some time because we will have lots of fun. Will you please tell them I am asking for them? Tell them to ask their moms and dads. Will you tell them I am asking for them? P.S. Now we have another reindeer named Rudolph. He has a bright nose that glows in the dark. When it is time to hitch up the reindeer I help. We line up the strongest reindeer first while Santa Claus falls asleep.
