Happy Gang group holding first fall event Sept. 25
The character attribute receiving
emphasis at Hullett Central Public
School during September is
‘respect’. Defined as valuing self,
others and the world this attributeties in nicely with the premisebehind this coming Friday’s TerryFox Run. The children learn about
Terry himself and the idea behind
the annual run to raise money for the
fight against all kinds of cancer. So
if you would like to make your
contribution to the cancer
society through the school, don’t be
shy.
Drop by the school itself or speak
with a Hullett pupil.
You might just go to the school
next Friday afternoon and watch the
pupils in action. Mother Nature
played havoc with the school trip tothe International Plowing Match.Because of the heavy rains overnightThursday into Friday and the
lightning that was in the air Friday
morning, the buses left the
school late and the children
still experienced dampness that
day.
By the reports I heard, the tractor
dance was a favourite watch.
We experienced all Mother Nature
had to offer last week, from humid
temperatures to heavy rains to frost.
What a shame it was to replace that
beautiful harvest moon which lit up
the night a couple of times last weekwith the thunderclouds on Thursdayand overcast conditions all weekend.The Happy Gang Seniors will hold
their first fall gathering on
Wednesday, Sept. 25. The afternoon
will begin with a potluck meal at
12:30 p.m.
Congratulations to Bert Lyon on
reaching another milestone birthday.
Ron Moes is home from B.C. to help
him celebrate 80 years.
Radford’s Farm Equipment/post
office will hold its Alzheimer coffee
break on Friday, Oct. 4. Stop by and
enjoy coffee, cookies and fellowship
throughout the day. We’ll have thecoffee ready by 9 a.m.

The pews at Londesborough
United Church were fuller than
usual on Sunday, Sept. 22. It was
Ruth Paetra Norma Turcotte’s
special day. Many family and friends
were on hand to witness her
presentation for baptism by parents,
Chris and Andrea. Ruth was very
blase about the event and slept
peacefully through the entire
ceremony.
Flowers on the memorial table that
morning were in memory of Darlene
Vincent placed by her parents and
family.
The senior choir reminded
everyone of God’s love through their
anthem, “What a Friend We Have in
Jesus”.
Terry Fletcher’s service had a
special autumn theme and he
consulted an English source, "Rural
Worship" for thoughts on the theme.
As Terry explained the day of the
autumn equinox has equal light and
dark hours.
This, he explained, tells us that
we, too, need to reach a balance in
our lives. Nature’s cycles mirror our
own cycles and we need to let the
Spirit take more control of our
lives.
The leaves falling and the bare
branches teach that life is fleeting
and has an end.
The holiday of Thanksgiving and
the abundance of fall fairs, etc. are
symbols of the Earth/God’s bounty.
Fall and the harvest demonstrates
that we are a part of something
bigger, part of a community of God.
The transformation of the earth in
fall signals that God, once again, is
renewing the world. Terry suggested
the new season is a time to
acknowledge our inner harvest and
our own place in God’s creation. The
supporting scriptures were Psalm 23
and Ecclesiastes 3:1-8.
If you are interested in purchasing
a surplus church pew[s] and/or the
brass rods displaced by the chancel
renovation, get your sealed bid into
the church office by Oct. 3.
This Saturday, Sept. 28
Londesborough United will hold its
annual pork chop supper at the
community hall. Advance tickets are
preferred. Take-outs are also
available.
Congregants are encouraged to
donate to the church food drive
between now and Thanksgiving.
Boxes are in place in the basement
room and the narthex.
THE MUNICIPALITY OF
HURON EAST
NOTICE OF INTENTION TO
DESIGNATE A PROPERTY OF
CULTURAL HERITAGE VALUE
OR INTEREST
UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 29
PART IV OF THE ONTARIO HERITAGE ACT,
R.S.O. 1990 AS AMENDED
1. Property Description:
The Leckie Block, located at 435-441 Turnberry Street, is situated
on the northwest side of Turnberry Street, north of King Street in the
Village of Brussels. The property consists of a two-story stone and
brick building that was constructed in 1876.
2. Statement of Cultural Heritage Value or Interest
Historical or Associative Value:
The Leckie Block is associated with Mr. John Leckie, a man with a
diverse business fostered by the Village of Brussels. Leckie was
involved in the selling of produce and land development. His success
allowed him to construct what is now referred to as The Leckie Block
in 1876. This block has housed many businesses over the years
including banks, drug stores and a book emporium. Renovations
undertaken by Standard Bank during 1909-1910 altered the
appearance of the block and included the addition of the stone façade
and plate glass windows. John Leckie would later sell the block to
Frank R. Smith.
Design or Physical Value:
The Leckie Block is a good representative of the Italianate style of
architecture. The building is clad in stone on the first storey and yellow
brick on the second storey. Typical of this style are the decorative
brackets that support the large overhanging eaves. The second storey
displays segmentally arched two over two windows with decorative
stone drip moulds and simple stone lug sills. The roofline houses a
brick parapet with decorative details and a wooden frieze.
Contextual Value:
Located on the Village of Brussels’ main street, Turnberry Street,
The Leckie Block’s architecture blends in with the surrounding
buildings. The first floor stone façade creates a sense of importance
and grandeur in relation to neighbouring buildings while the second
storey yellow brick unites it among the rest of the block. There is an
adjacent green space placed between the Leckie Block and a
neighbouring building that provides a sense of place and enclosure.
3. Notice of Objection
Any person wishing to file a notice of objection to the designation
must file such notice of objection with the municipality within 30 days
after the date of publication of this notice in the newspaper.
Further information respecting the proposed designation is
available from the municipality and can be found on the Huron East
website at www.huroneast.com.
