I H ‘ - MM Nu ' "' - “W'N‘R \- ‘ ANOTHER GREAT PARADE IN DELTA Delta can mark up another successful maple syrup festival as once again, thousands of people attended the two day celebration. Despite the overcast sky, the Annual Parade drew crowds of anxious youngsters and adults alike to view the great site. The March 3lst event lined up at Beverley Elementary School in preparation for the traditional Z:00p.m. trek down through the village. The 39 entry parade was escorted by a service van from the Bastard and South Burgess #1 Fire Station. Then, leading the procession, was the majestic Legion Colour Party from Fort Wellington Branch #97 - Prescott, followed by the pomp and pageantry of the Queen's University Pipe Band and Cheerleaders. Riding in Delta's 1937 Ford LaFrance Fire truck was the 1990 Official Parade Marshall, Bruce Wylie of Brockville. Bruce is the program director of CFJR 830 AM radio, and the chairperson of the Riverfest Committee. Serving both capacities with a high degree of excellence, in addition to other community responsibilities, Bruce was declared Brockville's citizen of the Year for 1989. Other local dignitaries present for the parade included syrup Festival President, Millard Goodsell, Festival Parade Organizers, Beth Sawyer and William Morris, Festival royalty from Beverley School, Leeds- Grenville County Warden, Archie Ostrom, Leeds M.P.P., Robert Runciman, and Leeds M.P., Jim Jordan. The following prizes were awarded on the decisions of our competent and efficient judges, Mary Ellen Moulton of Lyndhurst, Hugo Hoogenraad of Brockville, and Richard Leeson of Delta: Best Float with a Maple SEup fleme â€" Elgin Lions Club Best Decorated Float - lst, Brockville Riverfest; 2nd, Brockville Shriners; 3rd, Land O' Lakes Shriners, Smiths Falls Best Horse Drawn Vehicle - 1st, Arnold Covey; an, Elsewood Gamble; 3rd, Delta Mill Society Best Children's Entgy - lst, Athens Brownies; 2nd, Nicole Crisp and Charlene Casnaw; 3rd, John Kitson and Brock Morris Best Novelty â€" lst, California Raison (Betty Ostrom, Ruth and Steve Martell); 2nd, Bob MacKenzie and his Newfoundland Dog Oldest O eratin Fire Truck - Seeley's Bay Fire Department Best A earin Fire Department - Bastard and South Burgess Twp.

All of the entries displayed an exceptional level of quality, craftsmanship, imagination and pride: traits always associated with the Festival Parade. At this time, the parade committee would like to thank all those involved in any way with our parade. Without the continued support of our neighbouring communities, the parade would not have been the great memorable success it was. See you next year! Beth Sawyer and William Morris DELTA SYRUP COMMITTEE CROWNS 1990 ROYALTY In conjunction with the Annual Syrup Festival, the Committee sponsors a poster contest for the students of Beverley Elementary School.

Junior/Intermediate: King Christopher Webster and Queen Melanie chisamore; 2nd â€" Ellen Marie White; 3rd - Jacinda Stearry. At a preâ€"festival school assembly, Committee members Beth Sawyer and William Morris presented the winners with a certificate, ribbon and trophy. The first place winners were also guests in the March 3lst parade. TRASH CHASE- BASTARD AND SOUTH BURGESS TOWNSHIP Fortyâ€"two students together with some teachers from Rideau Centennial Public School, and volunteers from the Environmental Conservation Committee pitched in to clean trash from the ditches of Bastard and South Burgess Township roads last April 26th. The day was a big success and gave students a "handsâ€"on" opportunity to see what carelessness does to the environment. The lesson was well received. The students were courteous and hard- working even though it was hot and dry. More than 50 bags of trash - mainly bottles and cans, were collected from the roadsides within Zhours. "A little thoughtfulness makes a litter-better world." REC YC LE DELTA ATHLETIC AND RECREATIONAL SOCIETY You did it once again. With your help, our organization had a very successful weekend during the Delta Maple Syrup Festival. We received more baked goods than we ever imagined from the people of the Village. We sold 150 lbs of Forfar Curd and could have sold more. We sold lots of Cotton Candy, balloons, hot dogs, hamburgs and chili, thus keeping the volunteers very busy on both days. Thanks go out to Keith and his helpers for tapping the trees and collecting the sap that they boiled into syrup, especially for the Festival. We believe this went over very well with all who passed by and watched. Also, a very special thanks is sent to Struthers of Toledo for their donation of a Lazy-Boy chair. The winner of this was Sara Gard of Elgin. We also held a very successful dance on March 17 at the Legion and everyone who attended had a great time. The Executive feels it is time we had a Logo to go with our name. To do this we are going to sponsor a Logo Contest which will be open to everyone, except the Executive. There will be a $50.00 cash prize awarded to the winner. Please see further on for more information on how to enter. We are hoping to have a good response as this Logo will be used on all correspondence and fund raising. The coming of spring brings us closer to the installing of the Horseshoe Pits at the Recreation Centre, so if any of you are interested in helping, please contact one of the Executive.

President Irma Chant welcomed all and opened with prayer and the repeating of our Purpose.’ The roll call reported 6 hospital and 7 home visits being made. The reading of scriptures from Exodus and Proverbs served as an opening for the devotional. A meaningful story, entitled " Mothering is a Full Time Job," was read, after which the offering was received and dedicated. Minutes of the last two meetings were read, together with Irene Goodsell's Treasurer's report. Irma gave a brief report on the Planning Meeting for the Fall Rally, which is to be held in Lyndhurst. Hilda Cardiff spoke to us about a "Doctor with a Difference." Dr. Peter Newbery, a family practice physician, ordained minister and Director of Health Services for the United Church of Canada, is still smiling! His main objective was to see that isolated communities receive good medical and spiritual services. There are both joys and frustrations associated with such activities, but he remained faithful in both. Irma led in the Mizpah Benediction. A tasty lunch served by Aileen Jacques and Leora Raison was enjoyed by all. Our next meeting will be held at the home of Kathryn Powell. Hope to see you there! Vivian Morris
