Creative Needle
Club keeps busy
HCBE approves plan
CLINTON - Striving for understanding,
commitment, open lines of communication
and promotion are the underlying aims of a
new public relations package that has been
adopted by the Huron County Board of
Education.
The package is the culmination of more
than a year's work. The result is a in-depth
presentation that focuses on communica-
tions and public relations in the school
system and in the community at large.
A bright red stylized. apple and a new
slogan "Huron Public Education. - Opening
Up The World"' are only part of the new look
and the new- package of recommendations.
The board agreed to support several
recommendations that are laid out in the
report. Board trustees agreed to "develop a
communication policy which nutures good
school-community relations and maintains
the positive public image which is vital to
the established goals."
The board voted in favor of a recommen-
dation that calls for the continued support of
adult education opportunities in the school
system. They approved in principle the
potential for program extension in the area
of pre-school day care.
Other approved recommendations called
for a formal review of internal communica-
tions in the school system, the making of a
promotional video, and the continuation of
Excellence in Education programs.
For a great part, the public relations
report works to reaffirm the directives that
are presently being implemented in the
school system. Student handbooks, parent
involvement in the classroom,. community
use of school facilities, public displays,
newsletters, school fairs, phone contact,
open houses, concerts, student participation
in community groups and' events are listed
as part of the extensive initiatives now being
undertaken in the Huron County public
school system.
The report noted in .part, "...Many ex-
amples of excellence were found to be in ex-
istence already and, above all, to note that
the strongest present and future method of
communicating worth is through our
students, the ones for whome our school
system exists. They are and will continue to
be our best ambassadors."
A very full itinerary for the mid year
meeting on Tuesday, October 27, kept up to
45 Bluewater Creative Needle ladies busy
learning at the Holmesville Public School
auditorium.
President Audrey Middleton briefly
reported that the bus trips to Wellesley Ap-
ple Butter Festival, Stratford
Shakespearean Tour and play, and the Silks
'n Satin seminar were all successful - com-
pleting a busy early fall. She also reported
that the Creative Needle is now handling
Stretch 'n Sew patterns.
A Christmas party will be held at the
November meeting (November 24) Cohere
there will be a $2 homemade gift exchange.
Linda Postill, Wonetta Holland and Dorothy
Williams, all from the Clinton district, are in
charge of entertainment, so be prepared for
a good time.
There will also be special workshop
demos on last minute gift ideas. Several of
our own members will be demonstrating at
as many tables..
Susan Christie of Miller's Barn,
Russeldale, was the first guest speaker of
the evening. She was introduced by Bev Van
Ninhuys, Clinton.
With sparkling personality this talented
lady held the members' attention
throughout her talk and demonstration of
stencilling on fabric - in this case a heavy T-
shirt.
It was too bad there weren't supplies
available then and there. Susan made it look
easy enough, that all wanted to get started
immediately with a project of one's own.
While coffee and cookies were served by
Marg Brand and Bev Van Ninhuys, Gayle
King of Blyth and Sheila Richard of Camp-
bell's Men's & Ladies' Wear in Clinton set up
for their showing of Images for Success.
Carol Wammes of Mary's Sewing Centre
introduced Gayle and Sheila.
Gayle King, employee of the Clinton
News -Record, has worked with the fashion
industry in London and has always been in-
terested in styles and fabrics. Just recently
she has taken a special course on Image
Dressing for Success and is now qualified to
teach the same.
She spoke on styles and the larger woman
- the sport, the romantic, the ingenue, the
sophisticated - and what looks best on them.
Together, Sheila and Gayle presented
many mix and match looks from about three
hanger loads of clothing with enough ideas
to last for a 10 day vacation. Sheila modelled
new outfits from her store while Gayle
modelled her own clothes.
Special accents were added: shoes and ac-
cessories from Wuerths Shoes, Clinton.
As Gayle looked over the crowd of ladies
she spotted two as ingenues, one sport,
another sophisticated.
EDUCATION
a•1111•11,
A further recommendation that earned
the board's seal of approval will see the im-
•plementation of a formal market survey, to
be conducted in each family of schools to
review perceived public needs.
It was determined that informal surveys
have been conducted in the past. Results
from such casual studies found that many
areas need to be addressed with more
deliberation. It has been suggested that a
formal study could be efficiently carried out
by telephone.
In discussing the merits of conducting
such a survey, Ashfield -West Wawanosh
Trustee Tony McQuail pointed out, "You're
operating blind unless you know what peo-
ple 'are thinking."
He suggested that a survey couldbe con-
ducted, at a minimum of expense and it
could also be used as an educational exer-
cise. He said that a major consulting firm
need not be hired to carry out the survey.
Help in developing questions could come
from an outside source, but the mechanics
of conducting the survey could be handled
by senior school students.
Additional discussion focussed on the
need's o'f eveToping a 16b 7escription to ad-
dress the responsibilites and recommenda-
tions that are outlined in the report.
Board members agreed to the creation of
a new job description, however no com-
mitments were made to the specific hiring
of person to carry out public relations
responsibilities.
"Additional support in some fashion is -
needed," encouraged communications com-
mittee co-ordinator Paul Carroll.
Clinton-Tuckersmith Trustee Sally
Rathwell suggested that -the job did not war-
rant a fulltime position. Mr. McQuail said
that the position could begin as a fulltime
jot and later be streamlined into less time
consuming.
Some funding has been set aside in the
Board of Education budget this year to help
initiate the program.
CDCS places third
CLINTON - Colder weather and the ar-
rival of some snow has already changed the
recess routines at Clinton and District
Christian School. Now, hockey is taking the
place of the four-square games. Some fast
outdoor play is a welcome break from
classroom activities, and invigorating too.
The school began last week with a Monday
morning opening assembly led by teacher,
Clarence Bos. The theme was Friendship as
it is shared amongst students and staff; and,
especially, as it is found with Jesus Christ.
Pearl Samplonius led the singing and pro-
vided piano accompaniment Joyce Dekker
and Mr. Bos played their guitars.
The annual cross-country tournament
races were run at Hullett Central School on
November 4. CDCS placed third overall.
Danny Vanderlaan came -in first in his
senior division, with Vuthy To a close se-
cond. The staff thanks all the team
members that ran on Wednesday for their
participation. They have spent many recess
minutes training. It's good to see such
dedication and enthusiasm.
This week, the school will focus on
Remembrance Day. Students have written
poems and articles — some to be entered in
the Royal Canadian Legion writing competi-
tion. Today, Wednesday, they plan to attend
the Clinton cenotaph service with Grade 6, 7
and 8. At 2 p.m., they will have an in -school
assembly. This assembly is planned each
year to remind students again of the great
price that was paid long ago by those who
lost their lives in the wars so that. future
generations may live in peace.
The following poems were written by two
Grade 4 students:
Remembrance
The poppies blow,
In ,Flander's Fields
Just think a minute or two
What they did for me and you.
And though they died
Are they still your friends?
That's why we should remember.
Rosanne Namink
We Should Be Thankful.
Poppies remind us
Of the soldiers
Who fought in the war
For our freedom.
We should be thankful.
We have our friends,
We can read the Bible,
We can do so many things.
We should be thankful.
We have so many things
That we don't even need
All because of the soldiers
Who were brave enough
To fight for our freedom.
We should be thankful.
Marlita Den Boer
Those few poetic thoughts express a
child's view of why Remembrance Day is
important.
CDCS welcomes two new students this
month. They are Curtis and Jeffrey
Hessilynk from Georgetown; they are in
Grade 2 and 5 respectively.
No scavenging allowed at site
West Wawanosh Township Council
agreed, at their Nov. 3 meeting, to post a
sign informing the public that no scavenging
is allowed at the township's landfill site.
Council also approved an agreement with
Lloyd Davis, for the rights to remove scrap
metal from the site.
In other business, council authorized Brad
Humphrey to proceed with preparation of
revised preliminary plans for an office and
council chambers which incorporates a
basement in the plan.
Building permits were issued to: L.

cover), L. Stutzman (addition) and W.
Sproul (granary). G. H'. Brindley vooiced
opposition to the issue Of a permit for the
mobile home.

balance of the 1987 levy, in the amount of
$1,736, to the Blyth and District Conu nunity
Centre Board, in the general accounts.
