Walton Public School news
Pupils finish world tour
Graeme, Helen and Michael
Craig were greeters at Duff's
United Church on March 1. Rev.
James Murray welcomed everyone
and gave the Call to Worship. The
choir sang, We Gather Here,
following the scripture reading.
Rev. Murray told of the death of
Ken McDonald and also of Alberta
Stevens, Leona McDonald's
husband and mother.
He announced that the UCW will
meet March 4 at 1:30 p.m. and that
there will be another hot beef
luncheon and euchre on March 11
at 11:30 a.m.
Rev. Murray delivered his
sermon on the three temptations of
Jesus in the wilderness. Jesus lays
out the three key truths of life:
people can't live on food alone -
With the expansion of the Wing-
ham Police Force to the south and
east dependent on Morris Twp.
council, information will be
reviewed at the March 3 meeting.
Council received input from one
ratepayer, Mary Procter, indicating
her support for the Wingham force,
while Wingham Police Chief Jim
Dore, delivered a letter explaining
costs, to the Feb. 19 meeting.
The Blyth and Wingham fire
boards will be contacted to request
approval for the amended fire
agreement. The amendment deals
only with the schedule of area, in
order to give Brussels total
response for the properties adjacent
to fire hydrants. There is no amend-
ment to the assessment schedule of
agreements.
A letter will be sent to the county
telling of Morris Twp.'s disagree-
ment with the planning committee's
recommendation to not amend the
official plan for development on
Class 1-3 lands. Morris Twp. plans
to pursue the proposed amendment.
Council supported, in principle,
the review process for the estab-
lishment of a five-year economic
development plan, put forth by
Wingham.
A bylaw was passed for the
establishment of animal control in
the township.
Council was advised that the
provincial recreation grant will be
only $2,000, not $5,000.
East Wawanosh council will be
questioned on several matters with
regards to the Belgrave recreation
agreement. Council will ask why
the grant was dropped from $3,000
to $2,500 and under what authority
they changed the grant.
Councillors were of the under-
standing that municipalities see the
budget before amending an agree-
ment and that the 1998 budget
requested $3,000 from Morris and
food meaning pleasures, satisfying
selfish material interests, etc.; the
temptation to serve selfish
purposes, as people have the power
to serve ourselves or others and all
have the power to care; people can't
play God! "How tempted we are
though," he said. "How tempted we
are to use our own gifts and talents
to serve our own needs and desires
and not to think of others. Once we
become grown up we tend to try
and rely on ourselves — we don't
need anyone. However, we all need
each other and God. Jesus shows us
how to live in harmony with others
and with God."
Following the offering
communion was served by Cindy
McCallum, Robbie Mcclure, Karen
Hoegy and Rev. Murray.
East Wawanosh Twps.
There was consensus that the
amended agreement would not be
signed.
The Blyth Community Centre
budget, totalling $201,570, was
approved.
The Wingham Fire Area board
will be asked to cap the reserve at
$50,000, with the balance applied
to offset expenses.
Council supported a motion from
Grey Twp. recommending $30,000
for roof top heating be removed
from the 1998 BMG Community
Centre board budget and that
$18,000 be transferred from
reserves to offset costs, which will
increase the levy 13 per cent.
Council received information
from East Wawanosh Twp. regard-
ing a request for improvement to
the Johnston Drain which will
affect Lot 1, Conc. 1.
A letter will be sent to Hank
Dyk, stating that if he wants the
ditch cleaned to the former CPR
line, the costs will be solely his and
permission must be sought from the
management secretariat.
The township will proceed with a
new maintenance assessment for
the completed tile portion of the
Grasby Drain Branch A.
Support was given to a resolution
from the Township of Hagarty and
Richards to require manufacturers
to initiate a deposit and refund sys-
tem for items sold in containers,
leading to less waste in landfills.
Zoning, minor variance and the
limitation of dogs questions will be
discussed at a public session,
March 24.
The county will be sent a bill for
$5,197.21, to cover the remainder
of the Golder Engineering costs.
Council was not pleased with the
planning department's decision to
not pay invoices approved by
the engineer.
On Tuesday of last week
pancakes were cooked in, each
room at Walton Public School and
served up hot and delicious. Val
Pethick, Jane Zwep and Barb
Durrell cooked sausages for the
students and staff.
The kindergarten class had a
visitor that drew every child in the
school into their room, Luke and
Dalton Becker's baby black lamb,
Fluffy. They turned him loose and
he nibbled on the boys' and girls'
noses and hair.
There were nine children away
due to the flu but those that were
there were told that their homework
for the weekend was to see how
March came in, like a lamb or lion.
Well folks, here is the latest on
Spike, the mealworm. Apparently
one of the other worms escaped for
good so it was decided that poor
old Spike had to be kept in the
colony. He's still upset that he
The VanVliets are back from
visiting Mickey Mouse. Andrew
said that he loved the Tower of
Terror and wasn't even scared! He
also enjoyed Space Mountain,
where a roller coaster ride takes
you through the mountain in the
dark. John loved all the rides as
well while Dianne loved the stage
plays such as Beauty and the Beast.
The stunt production of Indiana
Jones at MGM studios was a
highlight for her as well.

Religion leaves a lot of people flat.
It sounds fine on Sunday morning, but
has little relation to Monday

missed his chance to escape like his
buddy. In fact he is so miffed that
he has refused to change into his
adult state (pupa). There are a few
more that haven't changed yet
either. The students are keeping
careful watch and seeing how long
it takes.
The Grade 2/3s presented
speeches and finished up their
animal projects. Laura Bowers will
be representing her class at the
Seaforth Legion for speeches. Her
story is called, "Dasher's
Adventure."
The class also had visitors this
week. Coke and Pepsi, two black
bunnies came for a visit and will
take turns going home on weekends
with the children. This weekend
Claire Mastnak gets to take care of
them. This week Jennifer Eedy,
Claire Mastnak and Andrea
VanderVeen got to wear the special
kindness button for the day.
The tornadoes not far from them
didn't affect them at all. She said
they had one day with some
thunder and that was it.
The community extends its
sympathies to the McDonald family
in the death of Ken McDonald. Ken
with his ready smile and friendly
handshake will be greatly missed in
the community.
Mrs. Crane's 3/4s have been
doing Nagano activities and are
learning about Paralympics. They
are doing internet research of
paralympic athletes. A special
guest will be coming soon to talk
about Japan.
Mrs. Vandendool's 3/4s have
finished up their spe‘ches. They
were all varied and entertaining.
Katie Williamson will be
representing the Grade 4s at the
Seaforth Legion competition.
Congratulations Katie and Laura
and good luck.
The children have finished
touring all over the world now.
They enjoyed their flights and
experiences of the different
countries. The flights were cheap,
the food great and the tour guides
informative. Thus theme Thursdays
end for this year.
