Road work could cause delays south of Londesborough
Regular readers of this space will
remember I inquired about the
swallow structure just south of the
bridge at the south edge of
Londesborough some weeks ago.
Last week we found out that it was
placed in advance of repair work on
the bridge as Owen King
Contractors of Walkerton arrived in
the village with their equipment.
And on Friday the traffic lights to
,k0slmartos W srC
control the flow of traffic over the
bridge were set up.
I spoke with one of the crew and
learned that repair work on the
arches supporting the bridge was set
to get started. That work will take
from two to three months, so you
will want to allow a little extra time
leaving the village.
Recently I remarked about the
yellow weed which seems to be

Vying for the crowns

competitions held at the event. From left: Princess contestants Anna Fear, Clarissa Gordon,

everywhere this summer. However I
am enjoying the chicory with its
purple flowers and the Queen's Anne
Lace that are quite abundant along
our roadsides this year.
Villagers have been receiving their
fair share of sad news in recent
weeks. Some of the health issues
may be attributed to the hot and
humid weather we've been
experiencing of late. Gordon
Shobbrook is out and about
again after nearly a week
in hospital getting attention to
his heart.
Tom Pollard and former village
resident, Mervin Durnin also both
suffered from heart problems
recently but are reportedly on the
mend. Condolences from villagers
are extended to Bert and Linda
Renkema, also former area residents
now living in Clinton, on the tragic
death of their daughter, Brenda, and
one of her sons in a traffic accident a
couple of weeks ago in the Kingston
area.
Then this past week we learned
that Bob Hillis, who lived on a farm
just east of the village passed away
suddenly as a result of a fall. To
date I have heard nothing about a
service for Bob. Sympathy is
extended to his surviving sons, Allan
and Aaron.
Sunday services have resumed at
Londesborough United.
The greatest songwriting team of
all time, Rogers and Hammerstein,
did have a flop back in 1926.
Their musical production,
Betsy, barely lasted a month. Many
people probably never heard of
the show.
However, a song from that show
composed by Irving Berlin, does live
on and has made millions of people
smile since then.
Blue Skies became a number one
hit on the popular music charts in the
late 1920s, was featured in the first
talking motion picture, The Jazz
Singer, and was the basis of a 1946
film with Bing Crosby and Fred
Astaire. Blue Skies has been
recorded hundreds of times and
Willie Nelson had a number one hit
with it as well.
A line in the song goes,
"Bluebirds singing a song, nothing
but bluebirds all day long." The
bluebird is a symbol of happiness to
many Native American
tribes. Seeing a bluebird is
considered a sign that your troubles
are over
Truly a blue sky day lifts one's
mood compared to a grey sky day.
Try to use a "blue sky" smile to lift
the spirits of those around you every
day.
We have been having our share of
sunny skies but some rain would be
most welcome.

Mayor Ginn says Cowbell Brewery on the right track
By Shawn Loughlin
The Citizen
Central Huron councillors are
pleased with the activity surrounding
the future home of Blyth Cowbell
Brewing, but are curious about the
lack of updates at the council level.
Councillor Alex Westerhout was
one of the councillors who said he
has often been questioned about the
progress at the site and where it
stands in terms of paperwork. He
says he can't answer the questions
since the last time the company
spoke to council was when its
rezoning application was approved.
At council's Aug. 2 meeting,
Mayor Jim Ginn said that there are a
number of things outstanding, but
that the company has taken on any
liability if conditions aren't met.
However, he doesn't feel that's going
to be an issue.
He also said that Central Huron
recently met with North Huron in
regards to water service discussions
and those discussions have been
"very amicable" and he's not
concerned about it.
He did say that the company's site
plan still needs to be approved, but
he understands that the company's
building schedule is "very tight" so
the municipality is doing its best to
accommodate them.
Westerhout said he was happy to
see the amount of activity at the site,
he just wanted to be able to answer
ratepayers' questions.
