Awards presented at Hullett On Saturday morning, June 28, the village was visited by a number of police vehicles, ambulances and fire trucks. Two vehicles had a dispute about which had the right of way at the intersection of London Road and Londesborough Road. A female driver from Kingsbridge was travelling east coming down the church hill and thought the corner was a four-way stop. Consequently she hit the yellow Cavalier headed south driven by Dustin Bannerman and carrying passenger, AshleyReynolds, both of Clinton. All threewere badly shaken up but no seriousinjuries.Although children in the area areexcited about being out of school fortwo months, it won’t be long beforethey will be looking for some newactivity to fill the days. The BlythChristian Reformed Church isinviting children who have graduated from JK through Grade 6 to Vacation Bible School. The VBS will run from July 21 - July 25. Apparently the VeggieTales, the Pirates who don’t do anything will be pulling into port for a week full of pirate blarney and boatloads of Bible learning fun. A garden party was held the afternoon of July 3 to help Eric Anderson celebrate his 75th birthday. Arranged by his daughter, Lynda Horbanuik, everyone enjoyed coffee, cake and ice cream on a perfect afternoon for just such an event. Marjorie was present as werea number of other relatives, hiscoffee crowd and neighbours.Happy birthday, Eric, from thevillage.Did you consider the triviaquestions I posted last week?In 1947 Harold Beacom moved toLondesborough from the familyfarm on the 13th of Hullett to thehouse that is now 302 Main St. He brought with him to the village his parents and his sister, Edythe, who this fall will turn 92. Ergo, she is the elder statesperson of the village. And it seems that if the boundaries of Londesborough are strictly adhered to, Jack Lee is the longest resident of the village. Jack tells me that he purchased the little house that is now 247 Elizbeth St., presently owned by Jacob and Lora Goode, in 1946. He lived there with his mother and brother, Murray. In December of 1947, following their marriage, it became home to Jack and Helen. However, if the village limits areblurred, Hugh Millar has thedistinction of living here the longest.For all of his 82 years, Hugh haslived in the same house on hisparents’ farm. That farm borders onthe eastern edge of the village.Moreover a number of the homes inthe northeast corner ofLondesborough have been built onsections of Hugh and Betty’s property since the late 1960s. Benjamin James Hubbard, son of Nathan and Jennifer, born on March 2 is the youngest resident of Londesborough. People are always on the move. They are continually moving in and out of the village according to changes in their life. But a building on the move is another thing. Before next week’s edition of this paper ponder on village houses that have changed location.

Pat Cook noted that very few homes have a clock any more with a face. Most are digital. However a clock of some sort is valuable to remind all of us about when to eat, sleep, go to work, etc. In Christ’s time there were no clocks; they may have relied on sundials or the sun/moon. Like clocks people have different faces which is how we are recognized. Also just as we rely on the hands of a clock to tell us the true time, we, too, must be truthful with what our hands do. The insides of a clock, with its wheels and springs, are what make the clock work. What is inside us as well is what is important. For that keeps us doing God’s will, said Rev. Cook. To the adults Rev. Cook remarked that this is a busy world for everyone no matter the age. Everyone seems to have a long list of things they hope to accomplish in a day, week, year or lifetime. In the gospel passage, Matthew 11: 16-19 and 25- 30, Jesus says, “Come unto me and I will give you rest.” However it seems no one likes to give up control. What Christ meant was that by having faith in Him, His grace will give comfort and peace for the burdens of life. Christ has made our mission in life in keeping with our abilities and circumstances. With His help the burden of that mission will seem easy. His love will relieve stress and anxiety. Donations of baked items will again be needed for the farmers’ market on July 19. Clocks theme behind message for children at United ChurchIn the morning of the last day of classes on June 26 at Hullett Central Public School, everyone enjoyed the school’s annual talent show. Teachers Joan Vandendool and Julie Gilroy reported that there were 22 great acts proving there is definitely plenty of talent in the halls of Hullett Central. There were several dance solos and group dance routines. A number of young folk entertained with piano numbers and guitar playing. Singing solos and joining in group choral performances also demonstrated the talent of Hullett pupils. There were three songs that morning that prompted lots of audience participation, YMCA, the Macarena and the Chicken Dance. Everyone was up moving and grooving to the beat. Pupils taking part in the show were Brooke M., Ellie E., Courtney M., Rebecca C., Lexi A., Valerie W.. Kelsey F., Lattesha V., Savannah V., Mary-Kate A., Aaly B., Cheslea H., Brittney L., Shelby H., Patrick B., Zach D., Emily B., Kaitlyn B., Emily W., Ross E., Jason S., Damian R C. This year the show included a technology element. Using the new “smart board”, audience members (including parents, students and staff) used their computer “clickers” to complete a music trivia quiz. It was a great way to familiarize everyone with the new technology available at the school.
