EA takes
• • mission
trip to
Nicaragua
During March break, the Blyth
Public School Educational
Assistant, Ms Peck, will be travel-
ling to Nicaragua in Central
America on a mission trip.
The group of 16 will be taking
14, 70-pound hockey bags filled
with donations instead of their suit-
cases.
Three years ago, Knox
Presbyterian Church in Goderich
built a three-room school in
Managua, the capital city of
Nicaragua. There are two shifts a
day of students attending with a
total of 240 students.
The school is built in the Bario
which is a very poor part of the city.
There is a barbed-wire fence which
separates the school from the dump
in the back yard.
Each child is required to wear a
uniform which costs about $60
American. Most of the money for
the uniforms is donated from the
Goderich church.
In order for one child in a family
to be able to attend school, the fam-
ily may have to go without food for
a while.
It is quite common to have up to
25 people living as one family in a
one-room house.
Many of the children only go to
school until they're about 10 years
old then they are expected to make
money to help in the family's sur-
vival.
On Feb. 14, Valentine's Day, the
students at Blyth Public School are
donating items to the hockey bag
located in the office.
Oh what a change a week can
make concerning the weather.
On Friday, Feb. 2, we experienced
colder temperatures again along
with lots of snow.
Fortunately though with Wiarton
Willie not seeing his shadow it was
predicted that an early spring could
be setting in within the next few
weeks.
Well, I will be the first to admit I
would never have believed it.
Exactly one week later a warm front
had moved in giving us abnormally
high temperatures.
Late Friday night it was clear to
me that Father Nature had taken over
Mother's occupation, as a cold front

Two couples earned prizes for the
weekly euchre card., party at
Bainton's Art Gallery. Six tables
were filled on Feb. 5 with the high
scores going to Jean Plaetzer and
Lawrence Plaetzer. For the most
lone hands Bernice McClinchey and
Lloyd Appleby were the winners,
while Lillian Appleby and Margaret
Nesbitt had the low scores for the
evening.
Today marks another special day
in February — Saint Valentine's Day.
Valentine's Day derives from the
Roman feast of Lupercalia (Feb. 15)
for which young Roman men and
maidens drew partners by a lottery
for the upcoming year. The festival
gradually became associated with
the feast day, Feb. 14 of two Roman
martyrs, both named Saint Valentine
who lived in the third century. Saint
Valentine has traditionally been
regarded as the patron saint of
lovers.
This specific day is also associated
with the legend that birds choose
their mates on this date.
Happy Valentine's Day!
Take your Valentine
