Elliott On Oct. 1 the Senior boys' and girls' soccer teams were taken to Huron Centennial to play some serious soccer. The soccer tournament lasted the whole school day, and by the time the students returned to the school, most of them were beat. The male members of the Blyth Bears soccer team were: Shaun Henry, Tyler Wilson, Nick Courtney, Devin Shannon, Justin Rinn, Mike Walsh, Kyle Aldrich, R.J. Popp, Steven Empey, Cole Stewart, Andy Toll, Steven Van Amersfoort, Bradley Schmidt, Mark Caldwell and Kirk Stewart. The female members were: Jenny Ritchie, Kristen Oster, Mandy Mason, Melissa Badley, Jackie Falconer, Charlene Bromley, Amanda Cook, Ashley Taylor, Sonya Schultz, Rachel deBoer, Robin Mason, Veronica Edwards and Candi Bearss. Mrs. Pat Hulley and Mr. Herb VanAmersfoort were the two coaches. The girls' team lost four games, but showed they were not Teddy Bears by winning one game and receiving fifth place. The boys' team lost three games, and, by baring their teeth, won two games, which placed them in fourth position. A special thanks to Rose deBoer for helping out with both senior teams.

A big thanks goes to Mr. Teall for taking over Mr. Prior's old job and to Madame Anguish for motivating us for the run. In other news, Grade 1 is making a book about what they are thankful for. They had a Thanksgiving treat too, popcorn! First, they had to guess how many kernels were not going to pop. They made a holder for the popcorn out of a milk carton decorated to look like a turkey. The Grade Is surely had fun with that! Grade 5s are enjoying their new purchase educational software. Last year BPS earned $250 from the collection of these tapes. The money was put towards buying a scanner. We are strongly encouraging all students to bring in their tapes this year. We hope everyone will participate. The students at Blyth Public School want to thank these stores for their participation in this program. THE TOWER By Katelyn M. Linner Everyone has been wondering why that tower is located in the comer of our schoolyard. Well, it is for the internet. It will make the internet faster and more efficient to access. The north satellite dish sends a signal to F.E. Madill Secondary School, which in turn transfers these signals to the Wingham Public School. The south satellite dish relays signals from Clinton to Blyth. Large steel plates have been installed on the sides to discourage children from attempting to climb this tower. So long for now! I'm going on the internet to look for some information for my project in Canadian studies! ASSEMBLY ABOUT THE THREE R'S By Alicia Marshall On Oct. 2, the students of Blyth Public School gathered in the auditorium to learn about the three Rs - reduce, reuse and recycle. During this time, Wendy Chapman from Bluewater Recycling showed us a video about the three Rs. This video explained the proper use of the blue boxes. After the assembly all of the students at Blyth Public School understood the three Rs a little better. We hope that all students will continue their good effort at recycling in the classrooms and bringing litterless lunches to .school. *<> music centres with Mrs. Regier. In Mrs. Whyte's Grade 6/7 class, Ben and Jenna said they were very excited about Tech 21 that was on Friday. They explained that they wanted to experience all the things; that the Grade8s have been talking about, since they went there last year. IF YOU HAD RECEIVED THIS AD IN YOUR MAILBOX YOU WOULD HAVE THROWN 75% OF IT AWAY. That’s a silly way of stating what is a documented fact. 75% of all advertising mail meets a sad end. In the trash can! Of the 25% that we keep, most we don’t even read at that time. We set it aside, to come back to. Or to forget about completely. Three times as many people would prefer to receive their price and cost information in their newspaper. There, it’s all together in one neat package. Complete and ready for comparison. When people turn to their paper, they turn there with interest. Which means that’s where your advertising message needs to be. With all the choices available, it’s difficult deciding how best to ad­ vertise your business. But everything becomes a little simpler when you remember one rule... YOU GOTTA BE IN THE PAPER. This message sponsored by this newspaper and the Ontario Community Newspaper Association Elyse and Troy said that the paper mache spiders, they were making, were messy. She thinks that spiders are creepy. We agree! To make these they used balloons, newspapers and glue. Jessica said they are writing their autobiographies. "Mrs. Whyte wants to know who we are, and what we have done," she explains. The Grade 7 and 8 classes have just finished their autobiographies. They were hard, but it was a fun experience. We hope that everyone had a great Thanksgiving feast this holiday weekend. We know that the kids enjoyed their day off school.
