Alzheimer's fundraisers set across the county
This area seems to have its share
of `tribute' shows, the latest being
one for Elvis in Blyth. Patsy Cline
was another recently produced.
Buddy Holly is currently being paid
tribute at the Grand Theatre in
London. So I have chosen a song
that is easily identified with another
singer whose songs are often sung,
"Walk the Line".
In 1956, Johnny Cash was a
newlywed performing in
Gladewater, Texas. Between sets
Johnny penned a song intended to be
a pledge of faithfulness. The words
of the song were assurance to his
wife that he could be trusted.
Marrying his words to a chord
progression, he created his signature
song.
Over the years, as we know, Cash
had trouble walking the line,
succumbing to a variety of
temptations and addictions, as did

Rogation Sunday marked
Londesborough United Church
celebrated Rural Life Sunday on
May 1. The service celebrated the
earth as part of the world of God. All
aspects of the service echoed the
theme. Also known as Rogation
Sunday the service is a prayer for
help with crops and offers thanks for
harvest and growth. A chance to ask
God for the multiple blessings He
bestows on the world in which we
live.
Rev. Fletcher remarked that the
magic of growth is implanted in
every seed and God's spirit makes
every creature beautiful. All of
nature works together for the good
of the world. Man and God work
together to fulfill the dreams of
farming. Supporting scripture
passages were Genesis 1:29 and
Mark 4:1-9 , the parable of the soils.
Tom Pollard offered a beautiful
rendition of John Lennon's
"Imagine", a prayer for everyone
around the world to live in peace.
Jane Hoggart read the minute for
missions which informed
congregants about the Heart
Gardens. Congregations across
Canada created heart gardens in
2015 to honour the memory of
Aboriginal children who died in the
residential schools over 120 years of
their existence.
During their time at the front of
the sanctuary with Rev. Fletcher, the
children were quick to inform him
that in order to grow the vegetables
one wanted, he would have to buy
and plant those specific seeds.
Likewise, children who become the
adults, God planned them to be are
raised in the ways of God. Coming
to Sunday school is part of that
growth.
Following the children's time,
Terry remarked that the Sunday
school is in need of
superintendent(s) come September
so the children of Londesborough
United can continue to grow in the
circle of God.
Thanks are extended to all who
enjoyed a Swiss Chalet supper
recently. Treasurer Ken reported a
profit in excess of $1,000.

the members of his group. After a
great deal of tragedy and loss, and
with the help of June Carter Cash,
the Man in Black did turn his life
around. Sadly, not so for many of his
musical group.
If you found April a busy month,
look out for May. I have a number of
events to mention that you might
want to take in. Hullett Central
Public School and their Student
Advisory Council (SAC) will be
holding their annual fun night and
auction at the Blyth Community
Centre on Friday, May 6. There are a
host of activities planned for all ages
that evening from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m.
It is a major fundraiser for the extras
that make education more fun and
interesting at Hullett. Plan to attend,
help out or donate an item.
The Huron County Walk[s] for
Alzheimer's take place in Clinton,
Exeter and Wingham on Saturday,
May 7, a great way to get some
exercise while supporting a good
cause.
Later that day, between 4:30 and 7
p.m., the Londesborough Lions are
hosting their annual fish fry at the
Community Hall.
Sunday, May 15 is the Run
Around The Square in Goderich,
also for a great cause: in memory of
Dave Mounsey, a police officer from
Blyth who died on the way to an
incident. Monies from the run are
directed toward putting defibrillators
in public spaces.
I hear students in Grades 4 to 8 at
Hullett are deep into rehearsals for
their operetta being presented on
stage at the Memorial Hall. The
production, "Clowns", is too large
for the school auditorium, hence the
change in location. How great for the
children to be able to use the Blyth
space!
Tickets are in short supply, so
speak to families with children
taking part on May 11.
Londesborough United's
rescheduled `Songfest' is May 15. A
few items have been donated this
past week for the Clan William
Hospital in South Africa. Morag
Watt, who visits there each summer,
is hoping more of you will find items
to ship this June. These rehab items
can be left at Radford's Farm
Equipment or the United Church.
If you read this column in The
Citizen, isn't it wonderful to realize
this local newspaper has been
declared the best community
newspaper in Canada in its
circulation class? But you already
knew that, didn't you? Kudos to the
staff in Blyth!
As is our habit we watched the
Geico NASCAR race last Sunday
from Tallegada. It was accident -
riddled making it seem more like a
demolition derby than a car race.
However, the amazing thing about
such a race is that there were no
serious injuries. Their car safety
measures eventually are
incorporated into passenger
vehicles. Good news for you and me.
