I thought about you yesterday And days before that too. I think of you in silence, I often speak your name. Now all I have are memories, And things just aren't the same. May the words of love blow softly, And whisper so you'll hear, That I still love and miss you, And wish that you were here. And all that life has given me, And all that's left to do, I will never have a greater gift, Than the years I spent with you. Thanks for the memories forever in my heart. - Always remembered with love by his family, Mabel, Bill, Doreen and family, Sharon and Danny and fam- ily 46-52x1 BETTLES: In loving memory of my wife Barbara (Roney) who passed away December 27, 1998.

It's been ten long years since you went away. Any goodbyes, we were unable to say. We all have our memories, special and dear. In our hearts and minds, they are still very clear. It may be the fish caught down at the stream, Or winning the canoe race as a team. Grooming the horses; hitching them to the sleigh, Delivering a foal, or watching them play. Working the soil, and planting the seeds, Growing those zinnias, or pulling the weeds. Fixing the combine, bringing in the hay, Swimming in the pool on a bright sunny day. Jumping for joy when harvest comes to an end, Laughing at a good joke, sharing with a friend. Cherished memories never fade 'cause you are gone, Those we love remain with us, for love lives on. - Lovingly remembered by Joan, Liz, Bill, Mary Lou, Susan, Nancy and families. 46-52x1 WILBEE, Helen Christine: In lov- ing memory of our dear wife, moth- er, grandmother and great grand- mother who passed away Dec. 26, 2001.

We will never have a greater gift, Than the time we spent with you. Our hearts are full of memories, And we will always treasure them with care. You are always in our thoughts. - Love Tom, Peter, Bruce, Anne and Families 46-52-1 BETTLES: In loving memory of our daughter, sister and friend, Barb Betties, who passed away four years ago, December 27, 1998.

Tuesday, Dec. 10, Westley not only let her name stand as the only challenger to incumbent Colleen Schenk, an eight-year trustee, but took Schenk's job away by earning majority support from her counterparts. But Westley's willingness to serve in the board's top elected post isn't the only thing that has changed in the past year. The Stratford trustee, who teaches communications skills at the University of Waterloo and the Stratford Chef School, was at the centre of an l l th-hour reversal during last summer's Avon Maitland budget deliberations, dramatically removing herself as the unofficial leader of a group which wanted to deliver an illegal deficit budget to the provincial education ministry. "Maybe I was a little more idealistic about it then," she admitted, in an interview following her election as chair. Westley explained that the reversal came after the government made it clear it would appoint administrators to take over the power of school boards in Toronto, Ottawa and Hamilton, after the passage of deficit budgets. And having seen the aftermath of those cases, she's now even more convinced that her reversal was the right thing to do. "I guess you have to temper your idealism with a bit of realism," she said. In a speech seeking trustee support, made prior to the vote for chair, Westley admitted she lacked the experience of Schenk, who was the only other nominee for chair. Stratford's Rod Brown, the incumbent vice chair, was nominated but declined to allow his name to stand. Schenk, meanwhile, mentioned her experience in her speech, in an attempt to retain support for her re- election. But after losing the vote, and then being asked to let her name stand for election as vice chair, the outgoing chair congratulated Westley. Still, Schenk hinted at Westley's lack of experience in her speech prior to the vice chair vote, suggesting that she could bring experience to the Chair/vice chair relationship. Likewise veteran trustee and former chair Wendy Anderson, also nominated for vice chair, who referred to Westley as "relatively inexperienced." Following the vote, Westley admitted to reporters that she "will probably stumble a little bit. There will probably be some procedural issues that will catch me, and I'll have to look for help on that. "But I've had two very good role models who are still with the board, plus this board works very well together to get through things as a team." Earlier, she told trustees she hoped to emulate Schenk "for her fairness in the conducting of meetings, and to emulate Wendy Anderson's decisiveness as well as her ability to present the board to the public in an insightful and eloquent manner." Schenk was elected vice chair, ahead of Brown and Anderson, while South Huron trustee Randy Wagler decided not to let his name stand.
