Lavern Godkin and daughter
Sharon, were greeters at Duff's
United Church on Oct. 13, Thanks-
giving Sunday. Special music
before the service was provided by
Marion Godkin at the organ,
Margery Huether playing piano and
Phyllis Mitchell playing the fiddle.
Nathan Murray began the service
by lighting the Christ Candle. After
Rev. James Murray gave the Call to
Worship, the opening hymn,
Bringing in the Sheaves was sung.
Darrell McClure read the Gospel
lesson, Luke 17: 11-19 followed by
the choir singing, Flowers Will
Bloom in the Desert.
The congregation was saddened
to learn about the death of Jack
Bryans. Rev. Murray was asked by
the family to announce it at the
morning's worship service.
He also announced that Oct. 25 is
a PD day at the schools and there
will be a Possibility Day for
children ages four to 14 at the
Brussels United Church from 8:30 -
3:30. It is a Christian based
program which will explore
creative possibilities in music, art
and drama. For more information
call James Murray at 887-6540 or
Chris Johnson 887-6259.
Rev. Murray called the young
worshippers forward and, with
mandolin in hand, sang a song of
Thanksgiving that seven-year-old
Sarah Schmidt wrote called,
Everything We Need. It is a
"zipper" song and the kids zipped
Based on the recommendations
of the Walton Landfill Committee,
a new "user-pay" waste manage-
ment system w;11 be implemented
in the Townships of Grey and
McKillop effective Jan. 1.
On Friday, Jan. 3, 1997 the
Bluewater Recycling Association
will commence co-collection of
waste materials and recyclables.
Waste materials must be in
standard size garbage bags or cans
and will require a $2 bag tag. The
waste materials collected will be
deposited at the Walton Landfill
Site, and the recyclables will be
taken to Huron Park for processing.
As well, fees will apply to all
waste materials that are brought
into the landfill site. Examples of
the more common fees are: barrels
in back of trucks ($3), car trunks
($6) and pickup trucks or small
trailers ($20). As well, any
refrigeration units, not tagged
"freon-free" will require a fee of
$20.
The committee decided to
implement the new system for
many reasons, but the two most
significant reasons included the
need to further reduce the amount
of waste being landfilled and, with
reduced provincial transfers, the
desire to move waste management
towards a user-pay environment.
The committee was satisfied with
the level of recycling, but felt that
more had to be done to prolong the
life of the Walton Landfill site.
User-pay systems implemented in
in their own things that they were
thankful for when Rev. Murray
asked for a suggestion.
Gloria Wilbee offered her gift of
music by playing her guitar and
singing, I Believe.
Rev. Murray's sermon was
called, "The Gratitude Attitude".
He admitted that being thankful
isn't something that people do well
and it isn't something they practise.
In the story of the ten lepers only
one comes hack to give thanks to
Jesus.
We need to work harder at
having the 'Gratitude Attitude', he
said. "Why is it so hard to say
thanks?" he asked.
He went on to say that in order to
have big muscles people must
exercise every day, so likewise, in
order to have the gratitude attitude,
they must practise saying thanks
every day. So often they take so
much for granted as in Joni
Mitchell's song "You don't know
what you got till it's gone." "We
must work at finding our blessings
and be willing to count them.
Thanksgiving is a special time to
come together and to celebrate the
joys and many blessings of our
lives."

other municipalities have
drastically reduced the volume of
waste being landfilled. With a
projected landfill capacity to
around the year 2003 and the fact
that the County of Huron may not
proceed with a county landfill site,
the committee decided that a user-
pay system was needed to reduce
the amount of waste being
landfilled.
Reduced provincial- transfers was
another reason for the new system.
Municipalities are being forced to
look at alternative methods of
operation, and a user-pay waste
management system is one method
that a number of municipalities are
looking at. Those who produce
more will pay more, those who
produce less will pay less and the
waste management function will be
a smaller percentage of the overall
municipal budget.
The committee also believes that
the co-collection service will be
appreciated for its convenience,
especially by those residents in the

It was turkey making time for the
Early Years class at Walton P.S.
this week. They made turkeys with
moving tails, they made turkeys
using their handprints and they
even made paper bag turkeys. They
also learned how to print numbers
one and two.
For the Grade 2/3 class a busy
week was spent collecting spiders.
They are doing a unit on spiders
and each students picked a spider to
do research on, then make a little

Grey Twp. council held its
regular meeting on Oct. 7 and
passed two resolutions pertaining to
`Municipal restructuring.
Council endorsed the resolution
from the Village of Stirling
demanding that the province place
a moratorium on restructuring until
such time as the report from the
"Who Does What" Panel clearly
defines which services will be a
municipal responsibility so that
municipalities can make more

have seen any interesting spiders
lately, the class would love to see
it.
The Grade 3/4 class, in
appreciation of colours in the
world, made stained glass
windows. In reflecting upon these
colours they were to write what
they appreciated about each. For
example some love blue, because
water is blue. Another loved the
informed decisions about their
restructuring options.
Council also passed a resolution
indicating that little if any added
efficiency would be gained through
restructuring, but rather that
council would seek to improve
efficiency through improvements to
joint servicing arrangements with
other municipalities.
