Walking the drone
Central Huron Secondary School students enjoyed some time outdoors with their drones last
week. Under the watchful eye of teacher Jacqui Vercruyssen, the students flew a number of
drones outside on the school grounds. From left are Quincy Baldwein, Ryan Edwards -Kiss,
Stuart Perkes and Sam Hearn. (Denny Scott photo)
UCW meeting focuses on Mothers
Appropriate for the month of May,
"Mothers" was the theme for the
time of meditation at the UCW
meeting on May 15 led by Joan
Goodall, Margaret Wright, Joan
Howatt and Brenda Konarski. The
Christ candle was lit as a symbol of
God's presence at the meeting. A
second candle was lit to represent
Christ's light in mothers all around
A penny for your... hippo
Last week and into the weekend, the Blyth Branch of the
Legion and the Legion Ladies Auxiliary held their annual
penny sale. The event attracted a lot of attention, as it was
held on the same weekend as the annual Barn Dance
Jamboree in Blyth. After an early rush, it was quiet on
Saturday afternoon when Catherine Howson and her four-
year-old daughter Emma came through and Emma had her
eye on a new stuffed friend to bring home. (Shawn Loughlin

the world.
In prayer God was beseeched to
give mothers help and wisdom for
the task of being responsible for
raising the next generation and
looking after His creation.
The readings from Ephesians 5:
25-33 and 6: 1-4 give instruction to
family members to respect each
other.
The reflection talked about "the
life sentence" mothers have. For
they can never truly let go of the
worry, concern and responsibility
for their children through all the
stages of growing up and even when
they themselves become parents.
The joy and heartache of
motherhood is theirs for a lifetime.
But mothers draw strength from the
knowledge that God is always with
them offering His love and wisdom.
A cute aside in the program was
offered: "Everyone wants to save the
earth but nobody wants to help Mom
with the dishes."
A short business meeting followed
presided over by President Helen
Lobb. June 6 is UCW Camp Day
this year at Camp Bimini. Helen can
supply further details. Tickets are
available for the UCW summer
theatre outing to Blyth on July 12.
Call Joan Goodall for booking and
info.
The UCW will meet again on
June 20 beginning at 7:30 p.m.

In 1960, well-known songwriters,
Henry Mancini and Johnny Mercer
were assigned to write music for the
movie Breakfast at Tiffany's. Their
major challenge involved writing a
song for Audrey Hepburn. Those
who have enjoyed this classic have
realized that Audrey was never cut
out to be a musical performer.
Seems her vocal range was very
limited. Her solo needed to be easy
for her to sing but still move the plot
forward. Her rendition of "Moon
River" nearly got cut from the film
but for the insistence of director
Blake Edwards. And "Moon River"
was nominated for an Oscar.
Has anyone else noticed there
seem to be more dragonflies around
this year than normal? I drove
through a cloud of them coming
home from Clinton recently and they
were all about when I cut grass on
the weekend. Perhaps like last fall's
influx of ladybugs, the dragonflies
are at the top of a cycle.
So often we go from cold straight
to summer heat without much
springlike weather. This year again
the heat came in like gangbusters. If
we have to miss the gradual
warming, couldn't we also miss the
dandelions? We have come through
the period of yellow flowers and
white blooms but it may take a cut or
two to rid the lawns of the ugly
stems/sticks.
And the farmers have taken
another hit. They have been advised
to not aggressively spray for
dandelions as they are essential to
the production of honey.
On Sunday, June 5, the entire
community is invited to
Londesborough United Church's
outdoor service. The community
ball park is the location of the event
at regular service time of 11 a.m.
The worship time will be followed
by a free barbecue, activities for the
children and a ball game for older
attendees.

It seems to be the weekend of
anniversary celebrations. Saturday
evening, May 28, the Blyth Festival
Singers celebrated 35 years of
making music holding their annual
Cabaret at the Varna Complex.
Sunday afternoon we watched the
100th running of the Indianapolis
500. And a rookie won for the first
time in the race's history.
Also on Sunday afternoon the
Londesborough Lions Club held their
10th annual duck race and, as usual,
all 500 ducks had a sponsor. The heat
may have kept some spectators at
home. Low water levels affected the
speed of the swimmers who had to be
encouraged at times to keep going.
All the monies stayed local this year.
The winning duck made $500 for
Helen Hummel. Steve Radford was
awarded second prize of $200 and
Julie Wright received $100 for the
third duck to finish.
The last duck to finish earned Bud
Chamney $20.
The club thanks Bev and Helen
Wallace for accommodating the duck
race on their corner again this year.
