The Londesborough Happy Gang
Seniors held their April meeting on
Wednesday, April 26. Following
their usual social time over a potluck
meal, they had a short business
meeting. Mary Peel gave a brief
report on the seniors’ rally held on
April 17 in Dashwood.
Charles Reid, the field
representative for District 8 of the
United Senior Citizens of Ontario
was on hand that afternoon, making
his yearly visit to give them news of
USCO. He remarked that services
such as those provided by “One
Care, Home and Community
Support Services” have come about
as a result of pressure on
governments by Ontario’s senior
citizens for a better quality of life as
they age at home.
The Happy Gang Seniors will hold
their next regular card party on
Friday, May 11.
For those of you who are able to
adjust schedules to take advantage of
Hydro One’s hours of low peak
usage rates, those rates changed
again to summer hours on May 1. It
still seems that the best time to do
laundry is on the weekend.
Those of you who stopped by the
post office last week discovered we
have gone high-tech. The computer
system has finally gone live, not
without its glitches. We thank our
customers for being patient with us
as we learn how to operate the
computer. The training days were
very intense and it will be sometime
before we are at ease with all the
operations. Some transactions have
gone easily; others not so. However
my “roses” for the week is
recognizing that I can master this
“thing” as long as I face it with the
right attitude.
Interestingly enough I opened my
May copy of Chatelaine one evening
last week and found this piece of
advice on page 184. “We are all
guilty of focusing on the next item
on the to-do list and forgetting about
the world around us. Go for a walk
and pay attention to the things you
don’t normally, from the colour of a
shop sign to the oversized sunglasses
on the woman walking past you.
You’ll arrive back home refreshed.”So there you have it from your localcorrespondent and a nationalmagazine.Another item of interest John
found in The London Free Press on
April 21. It, too, is a reminder that
we don’t always see or appreciate
that which is in our own backyard.
Paul Nicholson, who pens a column
titled, “The World Outdoors”,
recently took a bird spotting tour in
Huron County. The group’s main
destination it seems was the Hullett
Provincial Wildlife Area.
Did you realize that marshland
covers 2,200 hectares, has eight
different habitats and a number of
viewing stands? Perhaps we all need
to make a visit to that area and
appreciate the close-to-home nature.
We found some great elderberries
there last fall.
Paul and the group from London
were amazed to spot 15 waterfowl
species, four different birds in the
woodlands and five species in the
grasslands; obviously the area is a
birders mecca. He also mentions
seeing a ring-necked pheasant, a
bald eagle and a beaver. We tend to
take our surroundings for granted.
What a treat it must have been for
Bob Stoner to have lived in the midst
of that.
Paul went on to mention other
areas of interest in the county such
as the Hay Swamp, lagoons in the
Exeter area, the MacNaughton-
Morrison trail and the Morris
Tract.
It’s warming up!
A sure sign that the weather is taking a turn for the warm is the beginning of fish fry season.
Members of the Brussels Legion were in Londesborough helping out the Lions Club with a
fundraiser. Over 400 were fed on Saturday night, thanks in part to Rick McDonald and Deb
Caan. (Vicky Bremner photo)
