WltThe news from
a on CAS overrides hiring budget
Compiled by Patty Banks Phone 8874156
Rev. tells of good samaritan
Margery Huether greeted
worshippers at Duff's United
Church July 12.
After Rev. Murray read the
lesson about the Good Samaritan
Graeme Craig with his 12-string
guitar in hand, played and sang, It
is No Secret.
Rev. Murray's sermon was called
"The Good Samaritan". He started
with a little joke about three
women who died and went to
heaven. When they got to the
Pearly Gates, St. Peter asked them
if they there was any object from
their life which would serve to
describe how they had lived out
their faith in God.
The Catholic woman showed her
rosary beads. St. Peter noticed how
the beads were worn with use.
"Well done, good and faithful
servant, there is a place in heaven
for those who pay," he told her.
The Anglican woman showed her
hymn book and St. Peter noticed
how the pages were well marked
and told her how pleased he was
and how they needed another voice
in the heavenly choir.
Lastly the United church woman
stepped forward. She showed St.
Peter her casserole dish. It was
chipped and stained from heavy
use. All excited St. Peter said,
"Thank Goodness, you're here!"
Can you make Nanaimo bars?
Come on in, I'm glad you're here!"
"We all have different ways we
express our faith," Rev. Murray
said. "From a common foundation
we find there are many expressions
of what it means to be a Christian.
The amazing thing is despite our
differences of opinion and
differences in behaviour, we can all
still claim the common heritage of
Christ and the church, for we are
what we worship. Our Christian
behaviour is guided by our
worship, and we cannot have one
without the other."
Rev. Murray read these 10 things
you never hear in church.
1. Hey! It's my turn to sit in the
front pew.
2. I was so enthralled, I never
noticed your sermon went 25
minutes overtime.
3. Personally I find sharing my
faith much more enjoyable than
golf.
4. I've decided to give our church
the $500 a month I used to spend
on lottery tickets.
5. I volunteer to be the permanent
teacher for the Junior High
Sunday School class.
6. I love seeing how many new
people sit in what used to be my
old pew!
7. I love it when we sing hymns
I've never heard before!
8. Since we're all here, let's start
the service early.
9. Pastor, we'd like to send you to
a Bible seminar in the Bahamas
next February.
10. Nothing inspires me and
strengthens my commitment like
our annual stewardship campaign.
People
Kathleen Williamson and
Isabelle Shortreed attended the
baptism of Isabelle's great-
granddaughter, Emily Joanne
Wilts, daughter of Kendra and
Raymond Wilts, at the Blyth
Christian Reformed Church on
Sunday.
When balanced against the risk
of not making the decision and the
impact on the children, there was
no choice.
That was the reality faced by the
board of directors for the Huron
Children's Aid Society (CAS) as
they dealt with the implementation
of the new Ontario Risk Assess-
ment Tool and the question of hir-
ing more staff with no budget
allotment.
The board unanimously decided
last week to hire 4.4 staff in order
to successfully implement the
development risk assessment
model, now required by the Min-
istry of Community and Social Ser-
vices, and to alleviate case
workloads.
Though the cost of more than
0 bituaries
There were two names incorrect in
the obituary of James Edgar in last
week's issue of The Citizen. Below
is the corrected version.
JAMES BLAKE EDGAR
Mr. James Blake Edgar of
Teeswater passed away at
Wingham and District Hospital on
Saturday, June 27, 1998. He was in
his 60th year.
Born June 12, 1939 in Brussels,
Mr. Edgar was the son of the late
Murdie and Winnifred Edgar.
He will be sadly missed by his
children Shelley Miller and her
husband Lawrence of Listowel and
Duane Edgar of Red Deer, AB. He
was the dear brother of John Edgar
and his wife Lola of Wasaga Beach
and Don Edgar and his wife Mary
of Chesley Lake. He also leaves his
grandchildren Aleshia, Brett and
Justin. He was predeceased by his
brother Bruce Edgar.
Friends were received on
Tuesday evening, June 30 at the
Betts Funeral Home, Brussels.
$200,000 had not been included in
the budget., Knight said there was
no choice as the board considered
the impact on the children by
delaying implementation.
"The field of child welfare in the
province has long recognized the
need for a consistent, comprehen-
sive risk assessment tool," said
CAS Executive Director Tom
Knight. "The tool will provide front
line staff across the province with a
consistent method of assessment of
risk to children in families referred
for CAS service."
The board decided to take a
financial risk rather than risk not
being able to provide essential
child protection and prevention ser-
vices for children in the county.
where the funeral service was
conducted in the chapel on
Wednesday, July 1 at 2 p.m. with
Rev. Brad Morrison of Teeswater
United Church officiating.
Pallbearers were Murray Lowe,
Jack McCutcheon, Stan Berfelz,
Jim Mair, Jason Mair and Bevan
Brown.
Flowerbearers were grandchil-
dren Aleshia and Brett Miller
assisted by Lori Sargeant and Kelly
David.
Cremation with interment in
Brussels Cemetery.
As an expression of sympathy
memorial donations may be made
to the charity of one's choice.
MURIEL SUTTON
Miss Muriel H. Sutton of Ethel,
daughter of Alf and Ethel Sutton of
Ethel passed away at Listowel
Memorial Hospital on Wednesday,
July 8 in her 64th year.
She is also survived by aunts,
uncles and cousins.
Visitation was at Peebles Funeral
Home, Atwood, Thursday, July 9
from 2 - 4 p.m. and 7 - 9 p.m.
Funeral service was at Ethel United
Church on Friday, July 10,
2:30 p.m. with interment at Mt.
With the hiring of more staff,
Knight said the CAS could be a
quarter of a million in debt by year
end.
The province is currently work-
ing on a standardized funding for-
mula for child welfare systems, but
it is not expected until the fall.
Knight said the board felt they
could not wait to make the adjust-
ments.
If the government does not pick-
up the cost, it will be something the
board will deal with when the time
comes, he said.
Societies across the province
have been waiting for the new
funding formula which Knight
hopes will bring more equitable
funding, determined by need and
outcomes.
Pleasant Cemetery, Ethel. Rev.
Chris Johnson officiated.
Pallbearers were John and David
Sutton, Rod and Gary Godden, Don
Anthony, and Jack McLean.
Flowerbearers were Jim
Struthers, Don Heughan, Bob
Cunningham, and Alf Fortier.
