Grey Central Public School's
Grade 8 class would like to leave
other students and staff something to
remember them by when they leave
in June, and they already know just
what to do.
The students and their teacher. Mr.
Rob Payne, have taken an art project
and turned it into a creative way to
raise money for what John Bentley
explained would be considered “ a
good cause.”
Keith Lewis, a student in the class,

I heard through the grapevine that
Cecil Raynard recently celebrated a
birthday. Belated best wishes!
Grey Twp. firefighters sent a
handful of people to the mutual aid
workshop that focused on buses.
Deputy Chief Dave Diehl explained
the people tn attendance learned the
“ins and outs’ of school buses. This
knowledge would help with a
situation such as an accident where
perhaps extrication was needed.
The Winter Events Committee
meets Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. at the
Ethel Hall. Anyone interested is still
welcomed and encouraged to attend.
The firefighters will hold their
annual Christmas dinner on
Saturday, Dec. 13 at Brubachers at
Ethel. ,
The outdoor rink construction is
scheduled for Saturday. Dec. 13 as
well. Meet at 9:30 a.m. on Mrs.
Dobson’s lot (beside the mailboxes).
Age. construction experience,
knowledge of rink design or ability
to hammer is of no consequence
here - just sport some warm woolies
and a sense of humour.
One last reminder about the food
collection at the second Annual
Ethel Community Christmas. If you
nappen to spy a great “non-
perishable” grocery item - say,
canned vegetables, pasta, toothpaste,
etc that is one sale and worth
stocking up on, perhaps purchase an
extra can or two to donate.
Thanks and have a great week.
The Ethel community sends
condolences out to the family of Les
and Jane Stewart.
The pews at Ethel United Church
were quite full this past Sunday as
the younger members of the
cti sections of wood to create
Christmas “log heads". These logs,
according to Maddy Deitner. are in
the process of being transformed
into elves. Santas, snowpeople and
reindeer.
Mr. Payne explained that this
activity seemed like “a natural fit”
when looking for an opportunity to
show the class how well they can
function as a group rather than
“small clusters”. The festive figures
will then be sold for $5 each
(although the class stated that they
would have no qualms with someone

Christmas theme in mind. Many of
the children wore animal costumes
to represent the manger scene and
Joseph (Chris Hruska) escorted
Mary, (his sister, the “wee Emma”)
to find the “baby Jesus”.
The Cunningham family from
Monkton were asked to provide
musical entertainment, alongside of
Susan Alexander on piano. After
the service a potluck lunch xvas held.
There was a peaceful feeling of
