Driver flips vehicle at Londesborough road work
Yet he walked away
Fire Department of North Huron firefighters were on scene in Londesborough on Friday when
a vehicle flipped over near the ongoing construction at the south end of the village on County
Road 4. The vehicle, which went up the bank surrounding the road, had to be cut open to
allow the driver to escape. Reports indicate the driver is okay. (Photo submitted)
When the emergency vehicles
rushed into Londesborough late last
Friday afternoon and I, figuratively,
put on my press hat, I didn't need to
go far. Overnight Thursday into
Friday the bridge work crew had put
up new/additional traffic cones.
Perhaps they had become aware of
traffic issues and made the change.
At any rate, a van travelling south
about 5 p.m. overcorrected into the
west lane and lost control. It
somehow flipped over going up the
embankment and landed 011 its roof
in the field. The driver had to be cut
out of his vehicle. All at the end of
our lane.
School is now in session for the
2016-2017 year. After a carefree
summer vacation pupils may need us
to be particularly attentive when
driving in school zones. Remember
it takes a village to raise a child.
Houses in the village that changed
hands over the summer have new
residents just in time for the children
to start school. The house formerly
owned by Tom and Cindy Radford,
the Madill house, is now home to
George and Nancy Mills, Scott and
Katelyn. This family comes to the
village from Wingham.
B.J. and Angela Cullen and Jake
are waiting to take up residence on
Arnold and Bev. Riley's farm and
are living temporarily on the Snell
farm across from Jim and Dorothy
Carter.
Shaun Gregory and Sarah Reed
are the new owners of the Cullen
house. This couple have four
children: Gavriella, Grayson,
Geneveive and Georgie. The family
had been living in Seaforth as Shawn
works for the Huron Expositor.
Welcome these new families and
make them comfortable in our midst.
Long-time area residents may
remember that the Cullen home was
once owned by Norm and Helen
Alexander. The Alexanders moved
into the village from their farm east
of the village in 1969. Norman
operated the seed cleaning plant
Roll call!
The first day of school on Tuesday was marked with nice weather, which made the first roll -
call of the year a more pleasant experience for teachers and students. Above, Mrs. Middleton
of Hullett Central Public School calls for the students she will be teaching this year. (Denny Scott

which now is Nature's Nest but had
a variety of other interests.
At one time he documented the
noise generated by the feed mill.
That study resulted in the mill
installing noise reduction
equipment. Another of his interests
was soil erosion and some may
remember the model he showed at
events and fairs in the area and to
school children.
Last week's edition of The Clinton
News -Record, in "The Early Files",
had an item from 35 years ago, 1981,
noting that Norm was honoured by
the Soil Conservation Society of
America for his dedicated work in
soil erosion.
"Call and Response" was the
theme of the morning service at
Londesborough United on Sunday,
Sept. 4. Supporting scripture
passages were from the Old
Testament, `Wisdom' 9: 13-18 and
from the New Testament, Romans:
10: 11-17. Psalm 3 was the
responsive psalm.
The order of service included a
cute, but thought-provoking quote
by a Paul Walker I decided to share
with you. "All that really matters is
that the people you love are happy
and healthy. Everything else is just
sprinkles on the sundae"
Sunday School will resume at
Londesborough United this coming
Sunday, Sept. 11.
The first meeting of the fall for the
Londesborough UCW will be held
on Monday, Sept. 19 beginning with
fellowship and coffee at 7:30 p.m.
