HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Citizen, 2010-09-23, Page 22On Sept. 23, the night will bebright with this month’s full moon,the Corn Moon, so named by NativeAmericans because it marked whencorn should be harvested. It is alsoknown as the Harvest Moon.Radford’s Farm Equipment and
the post office invite everyone to
drop by on Monday, Oct. 4 for an
Alzheimer Coffee Break. The
Alzheimer Society of Huron County
continues to see an increase in
demand for their programs and
services. As the population ages,
hope lies in funding research for the
answers to the disease and ultimately
a cure. In the meantime, the society
attempts to lessen the disease's
crippling effect on patients, their
families and the health care system.
So, your donation for a cup of coffee
that day would be appreciated.
Coffee will be ready by 9 a.m.
HULLETT CENTRAL PUBLIC
SCHOOL
I’ve been enjoying the sounds of
children at play in the school yard at
Hullett Central Public School now
for two weeks. By now all the Junior
Kindergarten students will have had
their first day and the returning
pupils will be back in routine. And
that is a good thing. For when I
received my copy of the first
newsletter of the fall term, my
reaction was, “Nothing like jumping
in with both feet!” There were so
many activities listed everyone is
busy in the halls of Hullett.
Pupils were greeted by somefamiliar faces and some new ones.Shawn Allen has returned asprincipal. Sue Barnett is again dealing withmusic and special education. Julie Maver is the French
teacher.
School photos were taken at
Hullett Central Public School on
Wednesday, Sept. 15. The sixth
annual Terry Fox Run, sponsored by
the School Advisory Committee
happened on Friday, Sept. 17. It was
a great day for the pupils to be out
getting some exercise and supporting
a worthwhile cause.
The character attribute for the
month is “respect”, described as
valuing self, others and the world.
The Terry Fox Run is an example of
valuing the efforts of others.
The school’s annual book fair
began on Monday, Sept. 20. A book
is a gift that can be opened time and
again. Proceeds from the book sales
will benefit the library.
The pupils will begin their annual
magazine sales campaign today.
Monies raised by this year’s sales
will be used to purchase additional
technology equipment, support
enrichment learning opportunities
and support school endeavours.
That same evening, the school will
hold its open house, a chance for
parents to informally visit their
child(ren)’s room and greet the
teachers. There will be a light lunch
for a nominal fee beginning at 5:30
p.m.
For the term’s first ‘spirit day’ on
Friday, Sept. 24 pupils are
encouraged to wear gold and black,
Hullett’s school colours.
BALL’S CHAPEL SERVICE
Churchgoers from the Auburn and
Londesborough United Churches
were greeted by the sound of
bagpipes on Sunday, Sept. 19 as they
gathered for a joint service at Ball’s
Chapel.
Somehow it always seems fitting
for John Jewitt to play in that setting.
The sun shone brightly again for this
service which makes the location
more spectacular. The Ball’s Chapel
is 141 years old.
Nancy Park accompanied the
hymns on the most unusual and tiny“suitcase” pump organ.Ethan and Marshall Durninfavoured those in attendance withviolin duets. Early in the service theyplayed “Sour Grass and Granite” and“Emilie”. During the receiving of the
offering they offered, “The Teardrop
Waltz”. Two familiar hymns, “Softly
and Tenderly” and “It Is No Secret”
sung by Marsha Szusz and Brenda
Radford were also part of the
musical selections that morning.
Psalm 100, a song of joy, was the
responsive reading.
The location of the chapel figured
also in the children’s story. Minister
Terry Fletcher remarked that when
he came to the
Londesborough/Auburn charges he
did a little touring to acquaint
himself with the area, and he
discovered the historic Ball’s Bridge.
he mused that all the bridges in the
world are connections between the
two sides. Bridges were originally
erected to assist trade, socializing,
travel, etc.
In the same way he suggested that
when one offers their hand to
another in greeting it is like a bridge
between two persons.
Terry’s message was titled,
“Worldly Advice.” The supporting
scripture reading was Luke 16: 1-13,
the story told by Jesus of the
dishonest manager. Jesus seems to
be praising the actions of the
manager who was telling people to
change their amount of debts to this
boss. Would Jesus condone
dishonesty? Mr. Fletcher prefers to
feel that this story was Jesus’ rather
wry sense of humour surfacing.
In many cultures even today, the
practice is to “save face” and not be
socially embarrassed.
Perhaps that is what this manager
was doing. In doing business the
master is greed. But Jesus wanted
His disciples and followers to
recognize that one cannot serve two
masters, God and money.
By contrast Terry applauded the
forefathers who used money to erect
churches where people could learn
the teachings of Christ. By
maintaining those buildings today,
members are following the examples
of Christ and their ancestors. Realvalue is in the work of God.Tickets for Londesborogh UnitedChurch’s Pork Supper at theLondesborough Community Hall areavailable from any member of theLondesborough Stewards and at the

“Key Club Bible Program” at Hullett
Central Public School on Oct. 7. He
has run this activity club now for
several years. Children can access
more information about the
once-a-week program from the
school.
The Countdown Club organized
by the Fellowship Bible Chapel of
Londesborough will begin its
program on Sept. 23.

Just over 60 years ago, Delores
McNall and Jim Howatt were wed in
Londesborough.
The couple’s marital vows were
presided over by Reverend Brenton
and witnessed by Bernice Pierce,
Marie Lavergne and Gordon Howatt,
before they took their honeymoon in
Northern Ontario.
The Howatts lived in Mitchell,
then Hullett Township after their
marriage.
Delores and Jim have four
children; Connie Bratt of London,
Joan Vandendool of Hullett, Judy
Irwin of London and Larry Howatt of
Sudbury.
Delores was a housekeeper at
Huronview before retiring in 1995,
and Jim has been a beef/mixed
farmer, and became semi-retired in
2005.
Delores, daughter of Blyth’s Pearl
and Jack McNall, and Jim, son of
Wilmer and Ena of Hullett,
celebrated their 60th anniversary
with a family dinner in Clinton,
followed by a surprise party with
family, friends and neighbours at
daughter Joan’s house.
Jim looks forward to attending the
weekly beef cattle sales while
Delores spends her leisure time
playing cards and going to Bingo.
