Let’s look at the saying, ‘an apple
a day’. The first recorded use of the
expression an apple a day keeps the
doctor away was in the 1860s by an
author Caroline Taggart. Apparently
the original phrase was ‘ Eat an
apple on going to bed and you’ll
keep the doctor from earning his
bread.’ Perhaps you remember the
phrase as ‘an apple a day sends the
doctor away’ or ‘an apple a day, no
doctor to pay’.
The phrase may be fairly modern
but the concept is much older. The
ancient Romans and Anglo-Saxons
understood the healthful properties
of apples. And the fruit is recorded
in medicine dating back about 1,500
years in southern Asia.
Modern science has conducted
numerous studies on the health
benefits of the apple; and as to
whether they can actually reduce the
number of doctor visits.
It has been found that an apple a
day helps to significantly lower
levels of bad cholesterol in middle-
aged adults.
It is low in calories and sodium
and high in fibre and Vitamin C. So
keep eating nature’s trick to keep
sickness at bay.
Regular Sunday services have
resumed at Londesborough United
Church.
Jenn Elliott played the piano for
musical support on Aug. 2. Flowers
on the memorial table were in
memory of Murray Adams placed by
his family.
The message that morning was
“Bread of Heaven”. The Hebrew
word Man-hu translated means
heavenly food. And the word
evolved into ‘manna’ meaning bread
that comes from God. Jesus grew up
in Bethlehem; beth means house and
lehem is bread, signifying Jesus is
the bread of life.
People in the desert were fed with
manna from God and God created
the surfeit of food that fed the five
thousand during Jesus’ time. God
through Jesus gives souls the staff of
life.
As children of God we all have the
choice to become followers and be
nourished. Supporting scriptures
were Exodus 16: 11-15 and John
6:24-35.
On Sunday, Aug. 9, Rev. Fletcher
led a Celtic service in keeping with
the Celtic Festival taking place in
Goderich that week. Kerrie Grant
was at the organ to accompany
hymns that morning. Terry’s musical
group, Joyful Noise, presented “I
Feel the Winds of God”. Playing
guitar were Terry and Ken Scott;
playing violin was John Jewitt; and
Kerrie Grant, Mel Knox and Jane
Hoggart added their voices to the
group’s very pleasing presentation.
In his message, “The Celtic
Vision”, Rev. Fletcher gave a history
of the Celtic peoples and explained
how their beliefs influenced our
Christianity. The supporting
scripture was Deuteronomy 8:7-10.
Prayers and readings were from the
Celtic history.

The salaries of two different
groups raised eyebrows at Morris-
Turnberry Council during its July 21
meeting.
In a six-month review of the
township’s finances, Councillor
John Smuck noted that staff salary
and expenses for the year were quite
high, but the review didn’t provide a
full picture.
Administrator Clerk-Treasurer
Nancy Michie pointed out that the
tallying wasn’t complete for the
hours and that, by the end of the
year, there would be hours from
some departments applied to others
and that should balance out the
amount.
Deputy-Reeve Jamie Heffer then
pointed out that council’s
remuneration and expenses were
higher than they should be.
He said that, by his math, the
municipality was 23 per cent above
where they should be at that point in
the year.
“We did pass a budget and we
determined this was the appropriate
figure for the year,” he said. “I want
to draw it to our attention that we are
significantly over for the halfway
point of the year. Council expenses
for last month were exceptionally
higher than they should have been.”
Heffer said he wants council to be
aware and that council needs to
adhere to the budget, just as they
expect staff to do.
Councillor Dorothy Kelly said that
there were two new computers
bought for councillors, as well as
registration for the Association of
Municipalities of Ontario (AMO)
and Rural Ontario Municipal
Association (ROMA) conference,
which are two large one-time
expenses, however Michie corrected
her and said the registration for the
conference was not part of the
budget.
Gowing said he attends many
functions as warden of the county
and that is budgetted to the county,
but he said that he didn’t want to
sacrifice opportunities for council
members to do a better job by being
educated.
Heffer said he didn’t want any
meetings or events to be missed, but
that it may be time to limit council
to one representative for
certain conferences, as opposed to
several.
Councillor Jim Nelemans agreed,
saying that if a budget was set,
council needed to follow it.
Kelly also blamed the higher-than-
expected costs on the fact that
council gave itself a 2.5 per cent
wage increase.
