Usborne Central teacher Doris Becker makes good on a
challenge she made to students in the school's Jump
Rope for Heart fundraising drive recently. Becker told
the students if they raised enough points to earn a DVD
player she would kiss a pig. After the students raised
over $4,700, the challenge was met May 14, with a pig
supplied by Al Hodgert. (photos/PatBolen)
Barbecue this Saturday
By Muriel Lewis
GRANTON CORRESPONDENT
GRANTON - Get -well wishes to Bill Powell from the
Granton community who is recovering from recent
heart surgery.
At the Granton Wesley United church on Sun., May
23, lay Pastor Val Hodgins entitled the message `Alpha
and Omega.' The lessons were from Revelations 22 and
Acts 16. Meredith Dodds lit the Christ Candle. Mary
Waters gave the Minute for Missions. A report from the
Youth Conference was given by Elizabeth Herbert, Erica
Riddell and Taylor Jones.
Don't forget the annual pork barbecue sponsored by
the Bryanston Scouting Group at the Granton Park on
Sat., May 29.
At St. Paul's Anglican Church in Kirkton on Sun., May
23 (Easter 7) Rev. Dalice Sim celebrated the Holy
Eucharist. The message was about God's love through
His holy spirit that guides and directs all who trust in
Him. Kate Henry read the lessons. The anniversary ser-
vice is being held on Sun., June 16 at 9:15 a.m.
Members of the Clandeboye Women's Institute and
friends had a tour of Jailbird Design, a T-shirt industry
in London on Wed., May 19. Later, they had a dinner
meeting at the Huron House, when the roll call was
answered by why t -shirts have become a million -dollar
industry. Barbara Carter was in charge of arrange-
ments. Most of the group also visited member Mary
Scott at her Beech Apartment in Lucan on the way
home. Scott recently celebrated her 90th birthday.
Correctional change doesn't thrill school board
By Stew Slater
SPECIAL TO THE TIMES -ADVOCATE
SEAFORTH — The Avon Maitland District School
Board, which administers educational programs at
the Bluewater correctional facility outside
Goderich, is concerned about a provincial govern-
ment plan to require classroom attendance only
10 months of the year, instead of the current 12.
"It doesn't thrill me," explained education super-
intendent Marie Parsons after informing trustees
about the proposed September 2004 change dur-
ing a meeting May 11.
Educational funding for the facility comes
through the Ministry of Children and Youth, but
the program is administered by the Avon Maitland
board and instruction is provided largely by
members of the District 8 local of the Ontario
Secondary School Teachers Federation (OSSTF).
Parsons noted board and OSSTF officials had
been informed of the proposed change earlier on
May 11.
Students in the facility attend classes all year. As
of next September, it's proposed the program will
change to allow students to attend only 10 months
of the year, with a possibility for summer school
follow-up. Parsons suggested the provision of
summer school would save money for the
Children and Youth ministry, since summer school
doesn't have to be instructed by OSSTF members.
"It saves the government money and I can't
come up with any other reason," she said.
"Because (the current program) is working, and
working well."
In an interview after the May 11 meeting,
Parsons expressed concern about what facility
residents would do to occupy their time during the
two months without regular classes.
