NEWS
FROM LONDESBORO
Earth Hour shows how life used to be
Well, how did you spend Earth
Hour? An idea that originated in
Australia five years ago has been
adopted by Canada now for three
years. An hour is not much of a
hardship. But it makes one realize
how conditions were in the evenings
before hydro was connected to
homes. Considering the nastyweather we’ve experienced at timesthis winter our area has beenfortunate not to have experienced a
hydro blackout. Ergo, an hour in the
dark was not difficult to do.
However, early reports are that the
hour was not as well participated in
as last year. London had a five per
cent reduction in usage while they
recorded a drop of six per cent last
year. Toronto’s usage dropped only
five per cent as compared to last
year’s savings of 15 per cent. There
will need to be further education
before next March. Perhaps the
schools need to come on board for
children might find the idea fun and
take the message home.
The robins have been here now for
two or more weeks but I think theyare still wearing their winter coatslike the rest of us. The killdeer maybe the true harbingers of warm
weather this spring. I recall there
were some strong winds as March
got started, so March could have
been considered as coming in like a
lion. The weather for this week is
forecast to be cold but sunny so the
month will hopefully go out
lamblike.
The Blyth Festival Singers will be
joined in a spring concert, Jubilee,
by renowned singer, Denise Pelle,
from London. The concert at 2:30
p.m. on Sunday, April 3 at the
Clinton United Church will offer
African folk music and spirituals.
Tickets are available from any choir
member.Funeral services for Beth Knoxwere held last Thursday. Beth was alongtime resident of Hullett
Township and Londesborough. She
moved a trailer home into the village
in the late 1960s on property where
the Methodist Church once stood.
Originally a member of Burns
United Church, she later joined
Londesborough United Church.
Hers were hands always ready to
help a neighbour, to knit, crochet or
quilt.
Her optimistic and caring
personality was an example to those
whose lives she touched.
Your prayers and concern will
help her family and friends deal with
her passing.
