Wether the weather stays
Students at local schools have had a great start to the school year with mostly warm, dry
weather. On Monday, the temperatures dipped a bit, but not enough to force families to dig out
their winter jackets. Kaleb Lyons, left, and Warren Greidanus enjoyed the weather on Monday
and took the time to do some engineering and constructing in the sand box at Hullett Central
Public School. (Denny Scott photo)
Lions breakfast set for Sunday
Regular readers of this space will
remember that in a previous column
I noted that three wee girls had been
born to families in the village over
the summer. When those three girls
head to school in 2021 they will be
in the company of the village's
newest arrival. Patrick Garvey was
born on Sept. 22 to Ryan and Janet.
He was welcomed home by two
brothers and a sister. Like my
children, he will be able to go to
school just by stepping out his door
and crossing the playground.
Welcome Patrick.
Condolences from villagers is
extended to Michael and Michelle
De Weerd on the sudden passing of
Michelle's mother, Bernice
Hoftyzer. Michelle and her brother,
Robert, who lives on the home farm,
could use a kind word and your
prayers as they come to terms with
their loss.
The Londesborough Lions Club
will be serving up their Olde Tyme
Country Breakfast this Sunday
morning from 8-11 a.m. at the
Community Hall. Adults eat for $8
and children under 12 eat for $3.
An area family that is clearing up
an elder's estate has a motorized
wheelchair for sale. This `Jazzy
Select' 6 power chair has been
gently used indoors for three years
and comes with a battery and
charger. They hope there might be
someone whose independence could
be helped by having this chair. The
price is negotiable. If interested call
519-523-4429.
One note from Londesborough
United. The date for their bazaar has
been changed to Nov. 18. Call Sandy
Bergsma for more information.
Hullett Central Public School has
participated in two inter -school
sports events recently. On Oct. 17
the Avon Maitland District School
Board held the elementary school
district cross-country meet at the
Benmiller Conservation area. The
notable result for Hullett Central
was a first by Connor Dale in the
Grade 6 group. Well done.
Hullett teams fared better on
Tuesday, Oct. 16 at the regional
soccer tournaments. The Junior
teams played their games in
Goderich. The Hullett Junior Boys
team brought home first place
winning their last game 2-1. Six
schools were involved in the
tournament and each school team
played four games. The Hullett
Junior Girls team lost their last game
2-0 and consequently came away in
second place.
Clinton hosted the senior soccer
tournament and the boys from
Hullett came home in second place
as well. The girls team placed fourth
for the day. Well done, soccer
players.
And what great weather they had
for both sporting events.
Recently we each had a flyer in
our post box which piqued my
curiosity. Perhaps you wondered as
well just what it was about. This
single sheet flyer was titled "P2P
Info Sharing Event — Let's Talk
Alternatives". Because this event
was scheduled for the
Londesborough Community Hall, I
made a call to find out just what it
was all about.
We all recognize that to every
issue or topic there can be more than
one side or point of view. The Loder
family, Keith, Linda and Shanda,
want to offer another perspective to
some health issues. The P2P actually
means 'peer to peer'. The Loders are
not health professionals per se, but
have done some research into
various aspects of health and want to
share those `alternatives' with
you.They hope that by offering
information you can decide for
yourself how best to be as healthy as
possible.
On Saturday, Oct. 28 they will be
set up at the Londesborough Hall
with pamphlets, videos, talks,
demonstrations, etc. You are invited
to drop in, stay a while if you wish
and talk to them or just pick up
information to take home and
peruse. The first topic will begin at
10 a.m. and the day will run until 9
p.m.
The Loders will show the video
Vaxxed during the day and then
discuss vaccines. They particularly
want to inform people that one does
have a choice about vaccinations and
the video reveals the pros and cons
through various government studies
and medical professionals sharing
views. They want persons to have all
the information so an informed
decision can be made on this
controversial issue.
In my conversation with Linda,
she noted that she believes one's
health can be bettered by daily
taking 60 minerals or supplements.
This is far more that most one -a -day
vitamin supplements can supply.
Anything, in my view, to help with
the issue of dementia! One hour of
the day will be devoted to this topic
of supplements and to help with the
choice of the right ones.
Lisa Cowan will be there in the
afternoon as well to talk about the
essential oils she believes in and
how they are beneficial to people.
We all want to live the best we can
for as long as we are fated so this
might be an event you should check
out.
If you are unable to attend this
Saturday, there will be another day
of P2P sharing on Saturday, Nov. 25
at the Benmiller Community Hall.
A non -mystery item
Osage oranges

Carl Merner dropped in one
afternoon last week and left these
green, warty balls as conversation
items. Many readers will know what
these are, so I am not leaving the rest
to ponder for a week. Interestingly
enough I knew immediately what
they were but my husband did not.
They are osage oranges.
Wikipedia tells me that the osage
orange tree is the sole survivor of the
genus Maclura. Also a member of
the family Moraceae the osage tree
is from the same family as
mulberries and figs.
The fruit, which is pictured, is
inedible and ugly. When cut open
there is a bitter, sticky sap which can
irritate the skin. Most of these trees,
which seem to be only nuisance
trees, are being eradicated.
Milt Dale, our resident pen maker,
has used the tree's hard, pinkish
coloured wood for his hobby. The
web tells me that at one time farmers
planted these trees to serve as fences
for the wood is very hard hence
another of its names, hedge apple or
prairie hedge. It is also known as
horse apple or yellow -wood.
Apparently the tree does have a
redeeming feature. It can also be
called bowwood because archers
love it for making bows.
