Excellence
HOLMESVILLE- "Learning is
fun, and worth doing all your life"
was demonstrated with logic and
humour by Dr. William A. An-
drews, speaker at the 1989 Excel-
lence in Education Awards Banquet
hosted by District 45 of the Onta-
rio Secondary School Teachers Fed-
eration and held in the Goderich
township hall on April 26.
Andrews, a professor of education
in the science department of the
Ontario College of Education at the
University of Toronto, maintains,
that most of us stop thinking once
we leave school.
Andrews encouraged his audience
to think for themselves. Besides
using the linear scientific process
that pinpoints a problem, collects
data, makes predictions, then de-
signs an experiment to determine
action, Andrews recommends later-
al thinking. This he defines as
looking sideways and asking why.
Read labels, check what Consu-
mers Reports. says before buying
expensive items, and pay no atten-
tion to ads on TV, he advised.
The scientific method should be ap-
plied to everything from buying
shampoo to shopping for a .car .
As an example, he held up a bottle
of shampoo containing wheat germ
oil and honey, commenting that
the edible products therein had
nothing to do with washing one's
hair.
• Noting that a famous toothpaste
promises to fight cavities, Andrews
pointed out that some fights are
lost. Besides, "you can't fight a
Kirkton UC
in Education
hole", and nothing on the label
says the product will stop tooth de-
cay. He also questioned what was
meant by "below the gum line", as
that would mean one thing while
one's head was erect, and the re-
verse while bent over a sink brush-
ing one's teeth.
"All these things are sold to peo-
ple who don't think like they' were
taught in school", Andrews said.
Terming himself a a self-taught
ecologist, Andrews turned serious
for a few moments to talk about
what our careless, wasteful actions
are doing to our planet. He men-
tioned forest die -back, ozone deple-
tion in the atmosphere and too
much at ground level which burns
lungs and crops, and the huge
mountains of garbage we are pro-
ducing. Science knows the cause
of these ills, but the solution calls
for individual response: one act can
make a difference, if one tries.
The Excellence in Education ban-
quets were begun three years ago to
honour students, - teachers, and
members of the community making
outstanding contributions to educa-
tion.
SSHDHS students singled out for
recognition this year were Brenda
Balsdon, Shari and Shelly Black,
Maureen Masse and Marnie Walker.
Teachers awarded were Ron Bogart
and Bill Johnston. Sharon Wurm,
coordinator of "Safe Homes", was
the community recipient.
KIRKTON - Twenty-two mem-
bers of the United Church Women
met at the church basement Thurs-
day, April 13. Mr. Allan Slater
was the guest. He showed us slides
of a trip to Nicaragua and the city
of Bloomfield just after Christmas.
He accompanied four others on a
cargo plane loaded with corn, beans
and hogs. They also took along
carpenter tools, chainsaws, etc. to
help the native people there to re-
build their homes that had been de-
stroyed in a hurricane in the fall.
One could not believe the devas-
tation until we saw the pictures.
There were no trees left standing
lroppfies) to
destroyed until they can grow more
trees.
Miss Tracy Shute, whom the
UCW had sponsored as a delegate to
the Toc Alfa Convention in Toron-
to during Christmas holidays spoke
to us. Tracy was very enthusiastic
about this meeting and how she had
learned so much about the problems
of alcohol and drugs.
.Both.sp ake.m. 4,2 --very .much—,
enjoyed.
The meeting was opened by quiet
music by Mrs. Robert Ratcliffe.
Mrs. Norman Amos read a poem
"Pussy Willow Time". The theme
used was spring. Mrs. Jack Robin-
son and Mrs. Vernon Shute gave
appropriate readings and hymn sung
Irreiesvts-rurlireimrriztemillitig,IT IRK
the coming of spring and saying
good bye to the winter and its dull'
days.
President Mrs. Ross Tufts con-
ducted the business. Reports were
given by the treasurer on the sltc-
cessful spring luncheon we had
March 29 at Kirkton-Woodham
Community Centre. Mrs. Helen ,
Barker of Gadshill was a most inter-
esting speaker that day.
Thank you notes were read and
coming events announced. Mrs.;
Doug Weston reported there were
still scats available for anyone
wishing to go on- the Community
Friendship. Conveners plan to go
to Geritol Follies June 22.
A lovely lunch was served by
committee Mrs. Norris Atthill,
Mrs. Pearl Stephens and Mrs. Con-
nie Elliott and a social time en-
joyed.
• Body and Soul was the name of the program for last Wednes-
day's evening of dining and music by the New Huronia Singers at
the South Huron Recreation Centre. Mary Blackler, Susan Moore,
Sharon McNeilly, Joyce Pepper, Nancy Brand, and Janice Brock
