being); no safety net; no
playgrounds in public places, and a
lot fewer public places.
If the picture you imagine isn’t
pretty then it is up to you to find a
place in one of the many groups that
might match your passions and
talents. Your participation can
change our community and with
blood donation can even save a life.
The opposite is also true. Without
you, lives will be lost and
communities will die and all the
good reasons to avoid involvement
will look pretty insignificant in the
face of those personal losses.
Jesus says, “For those who want to
save their life will lose it and those
who give their live away, for my
sake, will save it.” (Luke 9:24) The
Message translation of the Bible
puts it this way, “Don’t run from
suffering (involvement); embrace it.
Follow me and I’ll show you how.
Self-help is no help at all. Self-
sacrifice is the way, my way, to
finding yourself, your true self.”
Getting involved isn’t just about
saving the community or the
churches or organizations, in reality
it is about finding and saving
yourself. So save yourself today and,
in the process, save others by getting
involved. Have faith in something or
someone greater than yourself.
Helping out community can change lives

followed caused one councillor to
leave the meeting.
Myron Shwadchuck, another
citizen who has been critical of the
bylaw at past meetings, approached
Clarke with red duct tape and
offered to silence him for council
with the “red tape”.
Mayor Paul Gowing requested
that Shwadchuck stop his behaviour
and cease interrupting the meeting,
however, he wouldn’t listen.
At that point, councillor Neil
Warwick packed his bags and
moved to conclude the meeting
claiming it could not be conducted
in such a manner.
The motion was never officially
addressed.
Warwick then told Gowing to
“call him” when he was able to
officiate a meeting properly and
swapped parting shots with
Shwadchuck as he left the meeting.
Shwadchuck has, in a previous
meeting, spoke as a deputation.
Despite a 10-minute limitation per
deputation, he spoke for nearly a
half hour at the June 4 Morris-
Turnberry regular council meeting.
He had also proved to be disruptive
in past meetings, interupting council
to have his say.
Despite the interruptions, council
eventually did make several changes
to the document and approved a
motion to send it for legal counsel
before a public meeting, which is
tentatively set for late September.

Perhaps you might be looking for
something other than Pluc’ Kin Fest
in Clinton this Saturday, July 6. If
so, you might stop by the Lions Park
in Blyth for your barbecued chicken.
Megan Lee and her husband, Joe
Gahan, are holding a Family Fun
Day at the park as a fundraiser for
their charity trip to Kenya to build
schools with the Niall MellonTownship Trust. This will be arepeat trip to Kenya for the couple.
The activities – games, silent
auction, raffles, etc. and live music
by “the Irish Guys” run from 2 to 7
p.m. The barbecued chicken will be
served from 4:30 p.m. on. Adult
tickets are $15 and kids under 12 eat
for $8. The Lions Club will be
running a cash bar during the
event.
Tickets are available from the
members of the Lee family in Blyth
and Londesborough.
Radford’s Farm Equipment and
the Post Office will be closed
Saturday, July 6. You may want to
make a special effort to pick your
mail up on Friday. The London Free
Press will be in the blue box as in
the winter months.Londesborough United will not beholding Sunday services during July.
Throughout the month of July the
front of the sanctuary, the chancel
and choir loft, will undergo some
changes. It is hoped this will make
the choir loft less crowded and the
platform area more roomy and
handicap accessible.
The stage should hold those
groups who entertain occasionally
more comfortably. This is also an
attempt to modernize our building
and move our faith community
forward.
From early spring until late fall of
2012 son Brent worked on an action-
packed thriller. Shot in Montreal the
movie employed the company for
which he works to supply all the
necessary guns, missiles, rocketlaunchers, etc. We heard storiesduring those months of the vast
scope of his small part in this
movie, of the number of actors
involved and the elaborate sets.
‘White House Down’ opened last
weekend and we saw the flick on
Canada Day.
The movie will be a wonderful
look-see into the real White House
in Washington for many Americans.
Although the movie is a bit long and
somewhat overdone, in our view, in
violence, it is sit-on-the-edge-of-
your-seats action and suspense. It
blows my mind that someone from
Londesborough could be involved in
such a production. One can never
tell just where life will take our
children.

School for the 2012/2013 year has
come to an end with a flurry of
activities. Hullett staff and pupils
spent several days cleaning
out shelves, etc. and storing boxes
in the trailers you see on the
driveway. This will make
renovations to the classrooms easier
and ensure dust doesn’t affect
teachers’ supplies.
Wednesday, June 26 was
graduation night for the Hullett
Grade 8 students. Pictures were
taken at the school prior to the meal
and ceremonies. This year the meal
and ceremonies were held in the
Blyth Community Centre. As usual
the room was beautifully decorated
to make the evening one these 21
graduates will remember as they
take their next step in education. The
ladies of Londesborough United
catered to some 160 students and
guests. A dance for the
graduates was the final event of the
evening.
Graduating this June were Jacob
Bjerg, Brookelynn Bos, Connor
Driscoll, Jamie Eckert, Andrew
Falconer, Naomi Filiatreault, Shelby
Hamp, Chelsea Hoggart, Morgan
Howson, Samantha Kerr, Iecha
Mason, Jenna MacDonald, Regan
Middegaal, Bradley Miller, Taylor
Oesch, Andrew Reinink, Tristan
Rhoads, Colton Rodger, Ben
Stewart, Tyler Westerhout and
Jeremy Wilts. Congratulations to all
of the graduates and thanks for being
a part of our community during your
elementary education.
Good luck in the future wherever
life takes you.
Hullett Central will see a number
of staff changes come September.
Teachers who were filling short-
term assignments at Hullett and
moving on are Miss Dale, Mrs.
Taylor, Mrs. Thompson and Miss
McNichol.
Full-time teachers changing
schools are Mrs. Ryan going to
Upper Thames Elementary in
Mitchell; Ms Armstrong will
be the new vice-principal at
Maitland River Elementary in
Wingham; Mrs. Maver, who
taught French at Hullett, will
have a homeroom at Huron
Centennial and principal Mr.
Allen is headed to Mitchell District
High School as the new 7/8
Administrator.
In her valedictorian address,
Regan Middegaal, thanked parents
and family for years of support,
teachers for the variety of lessons
they taught and her classmates for
sharing these years at Hullett. Regan
noted that the experience of
combining students from Hullett and
Blyth in this final year was an
experience that prepared them for
moving on in life, meeting new
people, accepting differences,
having an open mind and being good
team players. The experience taught
them that the world is full of
interesting people if one is prepared
to give them a chance. Lessons
that will see all of the grads through
life.
With this ending comes a new
beginning.
She encouraged her classmates to
face the future with joy, passion, and
energy, accepting challenges.
Regan closed with a short poem
by Kohi Yamada, “Believe”.
The poem states that the start to a
better world is the belief that it is
possible; that people need to believe
in each other and most importantly
in one’s self.
Principal Allen moving to Mitchell school next year
By Abby Armstrong
Although it is hard to believe that
another school year has come to an
end, it has. The writers of the Hullett
Central Public School column,
Colton Rodger, Morgan Howson,
Ben Stewart and Jenna McDonald,
would all like to thank their readers
for their encouragement as well as
their support of the school.
As these student writers move on
to high school they send best wishes
to next year’s staff and students. As
they would say, this chapter of the
story is over but a new chapter is
beginning.

this luxury. She is building an entire
show from the tap shoes up and has
already stunned onlookers.
“You have no idea what you have
on your hands here,” said former
artistic director Eric Coates. After
catching a rehearsal, Coates was
buzzing with glowing compliments
about the show, cast and production
team, “it’s like a Broadway
musical.”
Yorkville – the Muscial follows
two young women, who seek out
fame and fortune in the urban
mecca of Yorkville. The girls
quickly discover that life in the city
is a far cry from what they are
accustomed to in the quiet town of
Druxburg. With step dancing as
their fall-back plan, these girls find
themselves caught up in a whirl-
wind of glamour, glitz and…
waitressing.
From start to finish, it will have
been four short weeks of rehearsal
and on July 5, Yorkville – the
Musical will premiere for the world
to see on the Blyth stage. For more
information, visit blythfestival.com
or call the box office at 1-877-862-

This dancing and musical
masterpiece is going to be the “must
see” this summer, so book early to
get your seats.
