Clinton Christian school news
Students fundraise with Barmy Tech
By Jonathan Reinink, Nathaniel
Rider and Stephanie Dean
During the first two months of
school the students at Clinton
District Christian School (CDCS)
have been raising money for the
poor in Bangladesh.
Many women in these Third
World countries are given an
opportunity to support their
families through an organization
called Ten Thousand Villages. This
year the students at CDCS. with the
help of Ten Thousand Villages,
have been selling Christmas cards,
handmade by these women out of
their homes.
Also during this time the students
have been selling cotton and canvas
bags from Brussels-based Barmy
Filled to capacity
Tech. By selling these the students
are proud to be supporting a cottage
industry based in Huron County.
Students were especially pleased
to know the purchase of these
reusable bags would prevent many
plastic bags from being thrown in
the local dumps.
In total the students have sold
about $3,300 worth of cards for the
women in Bangladesh and about
$6,000 worth of bags and aprons
for Barmy Tech.
On Wednesday, Nov. 3, all
interested Grade 8 students were
invited to London and District
Christian Secondary School for its
annual Grade 8 day. The CDCS
Grade 8 class, along with almost
140 other Grade 8 students from
other area Christian schools
attended the high school tor the
day.
The Grade 8 students got an early
impression of what high school is
going to be like as they attended a
few classes and participated in a
volleyball tournament.
During the week of Nov. I - 5 the
Grades 7 and 8 students began
trying out for the volleyball teams
at CDCS. There are presently about
13 boys and 12 girls on the
volleyball teams. They meet for
practices at noon hour every other
day and after school on Mondays.
This will continue until the
tournament on Dec. 10.
The students have been curiously
watching as their parents have been
raising funds to support the school.
Since September there have been a
number of fundraisers. During the
Plowing Match, Sept. 21 - 25, in
Dashwood, CDCS had a food
booth. The volunteer parents sold a
lot of great food and made a profit
of $9,400.
On Nov. 5, CDCS had its annual
talent and services auction. This

Guelph area WI marks 60 years
By Leone Foerter
Forever Young was the theme for
the Diamond Jubilee of the Guelph
Area Women’s Institute, held at the
Brussels, Morris, Grey Community
Centre Oct. 13 and 14. Keeping the
theme in mind, nearly 300
members, guests and friends from
Wellington, Perth, Huron,
Waterloo, and Halton Counties
joined together for the occasion.
On Wednesday afternoon
members attended workshops of
their choice, such as healthy eating,
gemology, brain gym and a
workshop on the FWlO’s
handbook for 1999.
Area President Glenna Smith of
the Arkell Branch chaired the
convention; she extended a warm
welcome to all at the banquet on
Wednesday evening.
Public Relations Officer Leone
Foerter of Clifford introduced
speciaLguests. An anniversary cake
commemorating the event was
featured on the head table, and was
cut by Mrs. Smith and eldest
serving Area past-president, Agnes
Reist of the Helena Feasby Branch,
who now resides in Kitchener.
The guest speaker, OPP
Detective Sgt. Barrie Elliot spoke
on Phonebusters; his work since
1991 has been to put telemarketing
scam artists out of business. In
1993 Sgt. Elliot established
Phonebusters, a national task force
based in North Bay. It is part of the
OPP antirackets branch and works
with partners at the federal,
provincial and private levels.
Since 1995 there have been
12,000 known victims of
telemarketing fraud in Canada,
6,000 of them in Ontario, resulting
in $40 million losses. Eighty per
cent of the losses have been victims
60 years and older.
Women’s Institutes have been
active working toward safer and
healthier communities, and this fall
their endeavour is to work with
Phonebusters to help prevent
unnecessary personal trauma
caused by telemarketing fraud. Sgt.
Elliot showed a video which left
the crowd in wonderment and
shock.
Sentimental Journey, a well-
known vocal group from Listowel,
sang several delightful selections.
On Thursday Mrs. Smith and
Vice-President Barbara Pinkney of
Listowel shared the duties of
chairperson. Several officers gave
their reports, reporting the activities
and happenings throughout their
