Correspondents Christmas lights turn St. Columban into welcoming fairy tale village With Christmas just around the corner, the village of St. Columban waits in readiness. St. Columban Every home is decorated and alight with colour. When driving through at night, you would think you were visiting a fairy tale village. Even the church has Christmas trees trimmed with a soft glow of blue lights on the porch, welcoming anyone who enters. The people of St. Columban are ready to celebrate the Christmas season and everyone is invited to join the celebration. Mass will be celebrated on Christmas morning, Dec. 25, starting with a carol service and children's pageant at 9:30 a.m. New Year's celebrations will begin with Mass on New Year's Eve, Dec. 31, in St. Columban Church at 5 p.m. Everyone is welcome to join in the celebrations. Many of the local people have taken advantage of the superb offering of concerts available in the area. • Stacy and Kailyn Burke, members of the St. Marys Children's Choir, performed recently in Stratford. There was local interest in concerts held at St. Joseph's Church in Stratford, and Northside United Church in Seaforth. The fine singing brings about a Christmas spirit for everyone. The students at St. Columban School presented a Christmas Concert on Dec. 18 with performances in the afternoon and evening. The theme for the concert was, "A Storybook Christmas." Each class presented a segment. Mrs. Klaver's Grade 4 class presented "Charlotte's Web" (a sequel); Mrs. Buchanan's Grade 5 class reenacted the Nativity of Jesus; Mrs. Boersen's Grade 6 class performed a skit entitled "Christmas Party," a story about a store where the toys come alive; Mr. Vanden Hengel's Grade 7 class gave a list of outstanding records from the Guiness Book of Records where the reddest nose was that of a reindeer named Rudolph; Mrs. Gregus' Grade 7/8 class performed "Peter Pan" (a sequel); Mr. Haid's Grade 7/8 class performed "A Christmas Carol," the story of Scrooge. The students will participate in a "Buddy Day" this week on Wednesday and Thursday when they will go to St. Patrick's School in Dublin and connect with the Kindergarten to Grade 3 there. The final day of classes before the holidays will be celebrated with a "Red and Green Day" where everyone will wear red and green. By 34 Mary C.

ALL WELCOMEIIIIIII THANK YOU! from Canadian National Juvenile Broomball Tournament March 2001 . Palmerston and Arthur, Ontario With the year 2001, being the "Year of the Volunteer", we (National Committee) were extremely fortunate to experience it first hand. Had it not been for the many Volunteers, generous Sponsors and Donations, this past Tournament would not have been possible. In a very short period of time, put together with much mutual help, we were able to produce a National Level Tournament. This was a major achievement, considering the basic no frills cost to run a National Tournament Is somewhere around the twenty thousand -dol- lar mark. There is absolutely no funding for the venture, once you take on a job; it is also your job to find enough money to run the show, and manpower. Our Sponsors pitched In from every corner of Central West and beyond. Central West Region consists of Blyth, Mildmay, Palmerston, Seaforth and surrounding area. Monetary dona- tions were of utmost Importance, but skills, product and hands-on help were of great value as well. The list of whom all deserved credit and thanks would be never ending, and with so many generous con- tributors I would not want to miss a single one. Therefore you will have to excuse us for not printing each name or group. Three Central West teams competed, as well as two of the teams stepped In and were Tournament Hosts. Our Central West athletes did us PROUD!! "Hitmen" (Seaforth - Blyth & area) won the Gold on the "A" side, and are the 2001 Canadian National Champs. Congratulations to Scott Leonhardt, Rob Hunking and all the "liftmen". "C.W. Posse" (Palmerston - Mildmay & areas) won Gold on the "B" side, and were Hosts for the Tournament. They had won Nationals In 1999 in Leduc, Alberta. Congratulations to Dave Yungblut, Clare Schleck, Scott Hie and the rest of the "Posse". "C.W. Assassins (Juvenile Girls) hosted the Tournament and played 6 toygh games over the duration of the Tournament. Over all the final standings did not show a true picture of their talents. No "Gold" or "Silver" was to be for the "Assassins", but in my personal opinion, each and every one of them is worth "Gold". Thanks to Shawn Kaye for stepping In as Coach, on short notice, and for Vince Wilhelm over the years. 2002 Juvenile Nationals will be held in Oak Bluff, Manitoba • Mar. 27 - 30/02. The "Hitmen" return to Nationals not only as "Returning Champs" but won the Ontario Provincial Qualifier Tournament In Stroud/Lefroy Dec. 1 & 2/01. Silver Winners were a team from Windsor, so Ontario will be represented by two Juvenile boy's teams. The Ontario Juvenile Girl's team of East (Seaway Devils) will be the female reps (surprise, surprise). But not without a battle, "Thunder" (anoth- er Eastern Juvenile team) gave them a run for their money, pushing the finals to two games and squeaking by with 1 - 0 win in overtime. Again It would not have been a reality without such strong Community Support, financially and manpower wise. THANK YOU one and all!! Have a Very Merry and Safe Christmas. We happened to have a couple of snapshots of the "Assassin" squad, (Left) Team Captain, Corinne Leonhardt and Assistant Captain Mel Harrison (Below) Branch with a date and menu. The zone euchre will be held Jan. 26. Sign up on the list on the board if you wish to play. The December general meeting will be on Dec. 20 at 8 p.m. Please plan to attend. All members, regular and associate are encouraged to attend. by Barbara Scott Principal wears a dress when students surpass Angel Tree goal Bear Facts Things are winding down at SDHS before the Christmas break. The 'Sleeping Children Around the World' campaign finished with the students raising $1000.05 (30 bed kits), which was well above our goal of $540 (18 bed kits). Bed kits include pillows and blankets to ensure children in poor countries receive some nighttime comforts. The Angel Tree Campaign, which aids the Huron County Christmas Bureau, wrapped up with 430 items being collected, this was well above our goal of 300 items. As an incentive for surpassing our goal for the Angel Tree campaign, our principal Mr. Tessier agreed to wear a dress for the entire school day. Some students had mixed reactions to the style and colour of the dress. As another incentive to this goal, the prime minister of student's council, Kent Moffett and the deputy prime minister of student's council, James Montgomery, agreed to shave their heads. The deputy social convenor, Wade Broome, agreed to. have his legs shaved. All of the shaving was done at an assembly held on Monday, Dec. 10. The senior boys basketball team won their home opener (Dec. 10) against CHSS (Clinton). As well they won their game against GDCI (Goderich) on Dec. 12. The junior boys basketball team lost both of the games, but put forth a terrific effort. SDHS is holding their semi -formal dance on Dec. 21. The theme for this dance is Shagadelic Christmas, where students can dress in '705 fashions. by Brandi Williamson
