Locals to
downsize
At the end of June the village said
goodbye to Tom and Marjorie
Duizer. Tom and Marjorie had lived
all 49 years of their marriage in the
village and their four children had
attended Hullett Central Public
School. Deciding it was time to
downsize, the couple have taken up
residence in Goderich. Although the
village is sorry to see them go, they
are wished only the best in the years
ahead and we know they will keep
their ties to the village and area.
Their former home on Trueman
Street is now home to Kevin
Campbell and Lindsay Steinback
and Morgan, Wyatt, Jackson and
Braxton Campbell who moved in
on the Canada Day weekend. More
children for villagers to enjoy and
watch grow. Welcome to you. We
trust you will find life in
Londesborough to your liking.
Another of our own is making a
life change of another kind. Andrea
Hulley, daughter of Wayne and
Ruth and granddaughter of Betty, is
to be married on Saturday, July 20.
Andrea was raised in
Londesborough but has been semi-
absent for a few years as she
finished her post-secondary
education and found herself a job.
However the village offers
congratulations and best wishes on
this new phase of her life. If you
would like to donate to a
community gift for Andrea stop by
the post office.
At time of reporting Jack Lee is a
patient in Clinton Hospital having
suffered a significant episode on
Saturday morning. Please keep both
Jack and Helen in your prayers as
they make plans for their future.
Ladies of Londesborough United
Church met in the church basement
for their June meeting on Monday,
June 24. They enjoyed fresh
strawberries with ice cream and
cookies. Later in the evening the
ladies tested their baking knowledge
with a ‘name that cake’ quiz.
The women were treated to piano
solos by Kiara Driscoll who played
“Tiger Rag” and “Green Frog Hop”.
Crystal Whyte reported that she
had cleaned the cabin at Camp
Menesetung and discovered some
repair was necessary, particularly to
the area where the old heater had
been removed. Moreover she had
purchased a large grass mat for the
centre of the cabin. Crystal noted
that in many of the cabins one or
more bunks have been removed as
per regulations of the Health
Department. This means our cabin
now has only six bunks for campers
and one for the counsellor. This will
surely impact the number of
campers at the camp that can be
accommodated over a summer and
ultimately the finances of the camp
as a whole.
Gail Fraser of Clinton spoke to the
ladies that evening about her work
with Social Services of Huron
County. She is the co-ordinator of
the food advisors who volunteer forthe Health Unit. These food advisorsspeak to various groups in the
county about healthy eating. They
advise about nutrition for babies,
seniors and those needing special
diets – salt free, fat free, etc. The
idea is to be proactive with diet
and reduce medical emergencies
and improve every day good
health.
As program co-ordinator for
Social Services Gail works out of
the Jacob Memorial Building on the
Huronview property. One of the
programs that she has been
overseeing since 2006 is a
community garden on a one acre lot
behind the building. There is also a
greenhouse connected to this
project. Approximately 40 persons
on social assistance each year work
on this gardening program. Persons
are referred to the ‘garden’ by their
respective case workers as being
likely to benefit from the
experience.
People who are a part of the
garden work at all aspects from
preparing the soil to planting,
weeding and picking. Participants
take the food home. Gail remarked
that the participants also learn to
preserve the produce. Everything
from the gardens is used within the
program.
This referral is considered a job
for these persons as they prepare for
and seek full-time employment. Gail
arranges for speakers and trainers to
attend on the three ‘gardening’ days
each week to assist with their
moving on. A participant can only
garden for one year. Participants
come from all over Huron County
and social services help them access
a variety of services that will helpthem move forward with their lives.Participants now also have
knowledge they can carry forward to
make their diets healthier.
Gail noted that she and the
participants have learned a lot along
the garden path. Now there are
raised beds, teepees and climbing
trellises. Excess produce is donated
to food banks and soup kitchens
throughout the county.
Through research done by
summer student, Nicole Fraser,
social services has learned there are
three other community gardens
operated in different ways, one in
Seaforth and two in Goderich. The
plan is hopefully to share resources
and knowledge.
It was a most interesting and
informative talk.
