Children prepare for
theatre presentation
The letter 'N' made its debut into
the Walton Early Years room this
week.
They practised printing their
names. They worked on similarities
and differences as well.
The whole school is reading or
becoming familiar with Charlotte's
Web and so the kindergarten kids
worked with their Grade 2/3
buddies and made some pig
puppets of Wilbur. This week they
all get to see the play over in Blyth.
The Grade l/2s are working on
recording ideas by themselves.
They have been exploring good
safety with experiments. They put
hair, finger prints and pennies into
agar plates to see if germs will
grow. They took the temperature of
milk from the fridge and soup from
the microwave to see how long it
took to get into the danger zone
where germs grow quickly.
They learned that hot foods
should stay hot over 140° and cold
foods should be kept cold under
40°. They discovered that it only
Grey Central Echo
took 15 minutes for the milk and
soup to drop into the danger zone at
room temperature.
The Grade 2/3s finished their
mapping units by having a treasure
hunt. They had clues made up of
words and letters that, when put all
together, told them to go get a treat
from Mrs. Vivian.
The Grade 3/4s talked about
feelings that Charlotte and Wilbur
had when they heard the bad news.
They also .wrote in their Fern
Diary' about what she was feeling
as well.
The one reading group this week
read 'Maxie', a book about an old
woman who didn't feel needed very
much.
Congratulations to the children
who participated in the cross
country run held at the Hullett
Central Public School. Andrea
VanderVeen took eighth spot out of
the 40-50 midget girls that ran in
the race. Greg Bowers came in 18th
out of the same number of boys.
The students celebrated their
hard work by having a pizza party.

Customer service.
This is the number one goal of
Tim Prior who has recently pur
chased Agri Services. The business,
located half a mile east of Brussels
on County Road 16 at the west end
of the Brussels Livestock, has been
running for five years under Jim
Chambers management.
Prior has worked there for two
years. Ten years before that Prior
had started a fencing business. It
continued to grow and when he was
hired at Agri Services he brought
his fencing business with him.
Prior said, "I really enjoy work
ing with farmers and people in gen
eral. It is an established business
that I purchased with a loyal and
established clientele. Also, because
the location is right at the livestock
facility, we always get the farmer
traffic."
Chambers is remaining on an
experience makes him a real asset,
Prior said. "He built the business
from nothing so his knowledge and
expertise are helpful to me."
Prior is very pleased to be work
ing with his co-workers whom, he
says, are "reliable and knowledge
able. They have helped to build the
business from the start."
"Brian Alcock, the feed sales
man, has been with the business
since the beginning and he has
extensive knowledge in the feed
business. With his customers he is
straight forward, honest and is very
knowledgeable of the products."
Secretary Beth Crawford he said,
"is very knowledgeable and effi
cient. She is experienced in her
work. It is a valuable asset to have
a secretary that can run the books.”
Prior said, "Customer satisfaction
is one of my main purposes and if
there is a problem we will look into
it right away and look after it. I
would also like to expand the busi
ness, increase sales, and try to ser
vice more town customers. Also
I’d like to look into new lines of
products. Basically the customer
demands will be what we try to
meet."
Prior is holding a "Meet the New
Owner Day" on Oct. 31 so cus
tomers can get to know him and the
various products they sell, ranging
from animal health supplies, fence
supplies, Masterfeeds supplies, for
age seed and more.
