Jude Avery Horbanuik Coates is a first child for M.J. and Lee was born at home and weighed in at nine-and-a-half pounds. Congratulations to Dad and Mom from the village and welcome to Jude. The idea of practising what you preach needs to be suggested to the Huron-Bruce Green Party who still have a few signs along roadways in the area. Along the same lines, Hullett Central Public School collects used cell phones and printer cartridges for which they receive a nominal fee to be used for school enhancements. They also collect Zehrs receipts, $450 in tapes gets them $1 cash. Groceries costing what they do it doesn’t take long to add up. The school recently received the results of the EQAO testing done in the spring. The percentage of pupils achieving levels three and four in the Grade 3 tests in reading, writing and math were 59, 76 and 59. The Grade 6 percentage results were 85, 85, 62, much higher scores than when they were tested in Grade 3. Well done, Hullett. Watch for black and orange in the school area on Friday as it is their Halloween spirit day. Election signs leftby Green Party NEWS FROM LONDESBORO By BRENDA RADFORD Call 523-4296 PEOPLE AROUND LONDESBORO A good deed Four Hullett Central Public School students felt the need to assist those who fell victim to the disasterous tornado in Goderich in late August so they made and sold friendship bracelets to the staff and students of the school. The group raised nearly $100 for the Goderich relief effort, funds that will be matched on a 2:1 basis by the Provincial Government. (Photo submitted) LONDESBORUGH UCW Graham and Eunice Russell had been discussing for some time how they might fill some of their time once Eunice retired. The couple have a strong faith and believe that all they have comes from God. They felt a call to return God’s grace by working in a place of need. So last April they attended a Mission Fest to investigation options. The association that appealed to them was Medical Ministries Inc. whose Canadian office is in Stoney Creek. This group serves Christ by giving medical assistance. Eunice is currently working part-time in the cataract unit of the Clinton Public Hospital. It made sense to the Russells to join the group headed to the Cataract Vision Project in Ayacucho, Peru. Their trip to South America coincided with Eunice’s holidays July 24 to Aug. 4. MMI goes to places that have formally requested assistance. A doctor in Ayacucho needed help in her clinic and 25 persons from North America treated 2,500 Peruvians. People lined up from early morning every day and waited sometimes with family members, to see a doctor at the clinic. Some of the team’s work was done in an abandoned school. Each patient was carefully examined to diagnose their true eye need. Many time glasses were prescribed and given to the patients. MMI has a team that catalogues the prescription in each pair of donated glasses from Canadians. On hand at the clinic were 20,00 pairs of those glasses. The Ayahuasca patients were given a pair of glasses that most nearly matched their need. The surgery team did 125 cataract surgeries. Eunice’s remarks about conditions for the surgeries upheld the adage ‘necessity is the mother of invention’. The room was small and cramped and poorly lit, the equipment not particularly new and the whole treatment very different from her work in Clinton. Each surgery took approximately an hour. The Clinton unit does three surgeries in an hour. Working alongside the volunteers from Canada were optometry students from a Peruvian university and clinic staff. Much teaching happens in such situations. It was, as Eunice noted, a learning experience for all persons involved. Translators were necessary throughout for diagnosis, consent and patient after care. Alcon, a pharmaceutical company, provides free lens and the necessary drops for before and after surgery. Why? Is a question the Russell’s have been asked often. Eunice knows firsthand how cataract surgery can improve a sufferer’s quality of life. And in third-world countries where there are many vision problems, four out of five people don’t have to be blind. Moreover the patients openly demonstrated their gratitude for the team’s help. Eunice was the only registered nurse in the Canadian group and therefore felt she was destined to be there. Moreoever in the scriptures Jesus tells His disciples to ‘restore sight to the blind. The Ayacucho area has a low economic base and the Russells feel encouraged to have helped the people there. That being said, they remarked that Peru is expensive to visit and difficult to get to. Volunteers are responsible for their own airfare, accommodation and food. The two dozen UCW women gathered that evening, Oct. 17 in the basement of Londesborough United church found Eunice’s talk most interesting and thought-provoking. The worship service conducted by Gail Lear, Joan Whyte, Betty Millar and Helen Dale reminded everyone that all blessings come from God and they come in many forms and all year round. ‘Count Your Blessings’ was the hymn chosen for the worship and Psalm 100 was read. Retired couple considers medical missionary work Kudos to Westerhout on debate THE EDITOR, Re: Fire Marshal orders Hurrah to Alex Westerhout and Central Huron Council for standing up to the regulatory process in the country! It is about time we citizens and our municipal councils told the regulators to take a hike. We need to grow spines and take responsibility for our own actions and quit blaming others.
