Lexi Aitken takes top spot in OFSAA hurdle event Lexi has done it again. The sports reporter on London television station announced last Saturdayevening that Lexi had won the 30-metre hurdles race at OFSSA. Greatjob, Lexi.Integrity is the character attribute being considered at Hullett Central this last month of 2011/2012. A quote by Marcus Aurelius backs up the attribute: “If it is not right, do not do it. If it is not true, do not say it.” I had a conversation with my roving reporter again this week and heard all about a recent outing some classes at Hullett Central went on. On June 5, pupils fromKindergarten through Grade 3attended a student performance of‘The Wizard of Oz’ at the HuronCountry Playhouse in Grand Bend along with about 600 other pupils from area schools. I heard all about Dorothy and Toto from Kansas being caught up in a tornado and being transported. As he recounted the story he told me about the tin man needing a heart, the scarecrow needing a brain and the lion needing courage as they travelled along the yellow brick road to get help fromthe wizard. The struggles with thewitches, east and west, werementioned also.They have a new puppy at their house and he was impressed with Toto, a shitzu dog, and how well hewas trained in the role. The childrenwere told that the puppy auditionedin Toronto just after Christmas andhis siblings are also in training for the role.By BRENDA RADFORD Call 523-4296 PEOPLE AROUND LONDESBORO Impromptu recess After a fire alarm was tripped at Hullett Central Public School on June 12 around 10 a.m. students found themselves waiting on the front lawn of the school until North Huron Firefighters could verify that the building was safe before they were allowed back inside to continue classes. (Denny Scott photo) Sounding the all clear It took thermal imaging and a sweep of the premise before Deputy Fire Chief David Sparling of the Fire Department of North Huron, right, was able to tell Hullett Central Public School staff that there didn’t seem to be a fire in the building despite alarms to the contrary on June 12. (Denny Scott photo) Lions hosting breakfast for Dad I am always grateful when a reader offers an item for this space. So one would think I would get the facts straight. However, in last week’s column I attributed a PHD degree in psychology to the wrong brother. It is actually Kevin Trewartha who will graduate from Concordia University on June 18. My apologies to Kevin and his parents for my gaffe. You can take dad out for a Father’s Day breakfast at the Londesborough Community Hall on Sunday, June 17. The local Lions Club is serving breakfast from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. that day. Adults are $7 and children under 12, $3. Bert and Joanne Lyon celebrated their 55th wedding anniversary with a week-long holiday in Panama. They toured the rain forest and Monkey Island and sailed through the canal. Bert did say the weather was almost unbearably hot and humid the whole time. Congratulations on such an auspicious anniversary. If you are a churchgoer you will have realized that the ‘dress code’ we all observed at the bidding of our parents has changed considerably in recent years. Hats, gloves, dresses and suits have been replaced by more casual attire. As in many churches these days children from the Sunday School bring the collection from the classes when offering is received from the congregation. My ‘roses’ for this week happened during that time. One of the young girls was wearing the neatest pair of loafer-style running shoes that were quite pink and sparkly.
