I've chosen to offer some shout -
outs in this space this week
My first shout -out goes to the
emergency department at the Clinton
Hospital. A trip into Clinton to
watch the barrel racing at the
Regional Equine and Agricultural
Centre of Huron (REACH) triggered
an asthma attack in a visiting
grandson. The family was impressed
that he was treated and released in
approximately 45 minutes. A visit to
the Bowmanville Hospital many
months ago for a previous attack
took four hours before treatment was
started. One more reason we all need
to appreciate our small hospital and
endeavour to keep it.
Another shout -out goes to the
local weeklies in our area who did an
amazing job of bringing the news
and pictures from the recent
International Plowing Match (IPM)
to readers. This is the type of news
rural readers enjoy, the type the
larger papers miss.
And a big Thank You to everyone
who was involved in the recent
IPM — the organizers, the hundreds
of volunteers, the entertainers,
demonstrators, etc. It was a massive
site and a massive undertaking. We
all need to appreciate the
outstanding job they did of
showcasing Huron County to the
visitors to the area/match.
Congratulations to Mrs. Nolan's
Grade 1/2 class from St. James
Catholic Elementary School in
Seaforth for thinking big and
inviting Prime Minister Justin
Trudeau to attend the IPM. Their
belief that age and location should
be no deterrent to making a
difference is an example to the rest
of us — sort of like that phrase,
"Build it and they will come."
I was pleased to see that someone
from the Communities in Bloom
group for Central Huron has
brightened up the Londesborough

The annual Terry Fox Run was held at Hullett Central Public School last Thursday and all of
the school's students put their full effort into a run around the Londesborough -area school's
grounds in order to raise money for the Terry Fox Foundation. From left: Owen Beacom,

Church to host bazaar Nov. 4
Assisting Rev. Fletcher with the
Sacrament of Communion at
Londesborough United Church on
Oct. 1, World Wide Communion
Sunday, were Bev Riley and Traci
Radford.
During the children's time at the
front of the sanctuary Terry showed
the boys and girls the elastic band he
had on his wrist that morning. It is
his way of remembering something
he was concerned with forgetting.
Others, he noted, talk of tying a
string on a finger.
He went on to tell them that when
Christ knew He was about to leave
the disciples and return to heaven,
He was concerned the disciples
would forget Him and His teachings.
So He invited them to the Last
Supper and told them that whenever
they gathered together to eat, they
should think of Him and the food He
gives them for their souls. This was
the first communion. Terry told the
children that the adults gathered at
church that day were about to share
Communion and remember Christ
and His love for them.
"Linked in Love" was the title of
the message to congregants that day.
Rev. Fletcher chose Genesis 1:26-
28, Sirach 11:1-13 from The
Apocrypha and responsive Psalm 67
as supporting scriptures for the
message.
Today's society is wired,
connected by the world-wide web.
There are one billion websites
around the world, all because Tim
Lee wondered about connecting his
computer with someone else's. His
invention of codes and connections
revolutionized communication. And
when we use our computers we
never think about how it works just
as we never consider how electricity
works.
Christians have a great connector
for 2,000 years with its own set of
codes — prayers, hymns, scriptures
and sacraments. On World Wide
Communion Sunday Londes-
borough United clicked on the
communion link and celebrated with
3.2 billion Christians around the
world. We were united in an act of
remembering and recognizing we
are blessed to have that spiritual
connection. The reading from
Sirach was written in 180 years BC
and yet it gives Christians a set of
standards to live by to be worthy of
God's love. Christians around the
world have differences in customs.
ethnicity, ancestry, etc. but are in
solidarity through Communion.
Londesborough United will hold
their Anniversary Service on Oct.
22. Rev. Paul Ross will be the guest
speaker. "The Connection Szusz"
will share their musical talents with
congregants that Sunday.
Londesborough UCW will meet
on Mon., Oct. 16. Londesborough
United's annual smoked pork chop
supper will be held on a Thursday
for the first time this year, Thurs.,
Oct. 26. from 5 to 7 p.m. Adult
tickets are $17, children 6-12 eat for
$6. Takeouts will be available.
Londesborough United will hold
their first ever Fall Bazaar on Sat.,
Nov. 4 to showcase local talent. If
you are interested in reserving a
table from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. that day
or want more information contact
Sandy Bergsma. There will be lunch
and/or desserts for sale as well.
Perhaps you could help in this area.
sign at the south end of the village.
Those `mums' will be enjoyed
until the snow flies and may make
an appearance every fall for
some years to come. It's amazing
how the sight of little things like that
can add so much joy to one's day.
The complexion of our smaller
communities continues to change.
There are times when we are unable
to buy some items we want/need as
locally as we would wish.
Economics plays a big role in this
situation. So, we can appreciate
stores like Clinton's "Rack and
Room" for the service they supply.
Not only are they a godsend to
persons facing financial constraints
but the stores are a great source for
seasonal decorating items,
craft/hobby ideas, Hallowe'en
costumes, etc. If you are not in the
habit of stopping in to browse
perhaps you should. I check them
out periodically for jam jars among
other treasures. When you purchase
something there you benefit a
charity.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
Enjoy your celebrations with your
family and friends.
