Atoms played and won two
more games in their round
robin playdowns.
First, they got up early to
play in Bayfield for 8:45 a.m.
on Saturday. BCH kept up the
heat all through the game but
Brussels beat them 4-3 in
overtime.
Scoring for Brussels were
Curt Bloemberg, Tim
Waechter and Reece McArter.
Lexi Smith scored the
winning goal in overtime.
On Sunday, Brussels
travelled to Monkton to face
Elma Logan.
Brussels was full of energy
as they kept most of the play
at the Elma Logan end,
helping goalie Austin
Johnson earn another shutout.
Brussels skated away with a
4-0 win. Scoring were Ben
Hruska, Tim Waechter (two)
and Nic Zwep.
Brussels has won all five
games they’ve played in the
eight-game round robin.
PAGE 6. THE CITIZEN, THURSDAY, MARCH 8, 2007.
Condolences are extended
by villagers to the brothers
and sisters of Lloyd Josling
who passed away in the early
hours of March 1 after a battle
with cancer.
Many in the area know him
more familiarly as Thunder.
Others of us will remember
him for his trademark welding
skull cap and/or hard hat.
A bachelor, Lloyd lived all
his life on his parents’ farm
west of the village. It would
be supposed that in the days
of a working farm, Lloyd
helped with farm chores.
Until his illness made it
impossible Lloyd did manual
labour for persons in the area
needing help with farming,
moving of buildings, rough
construction and welding.
A member of the
Londesborough Lions Club
for a time, Lloyd enjoyed the
socializing that went along
with helping at the country
breakfasts. And he enjoyed
coffee time in the village on a
regular basis.
In recent years Lloyd was
an integral part of the
Thresher association and the
annual steam show in Blyth.

Atoms up in playdowns
The Londesborough Happy
Gang Seniors met at the
Londesborough Community
Hall on the last day of
February on what was the
sunniest and best day for
driving of that whole week.
Following their potluck
meal, president Phyllis
Tyndall began the rest of their
time together with a poem
titled, The Postman’s
Revenge.
A representative from the
adult day program located at
the Betty Cardno Centre in
Clinton was the afternoon’s
guest speaker. Lisa spoke
about the programs and
services available to make
life easier and more
enjoyable for seniors.
Services are offered on a
daily or weekly basis
depending on the need.
For more information and
to access these programs one
can call the centre. Moreover
Lisa noted that volunteers are
always welcomed.
The Happy Gang group
will host a Card Cavalcade to
benefit the Clinton Public
Hospital on Thursday, March
8 beginning at 1 p.m. Dessert
will begin in the afternoon at
the Community Hall.
There will be a number of
door prizes donated by
members of the
Londesborough group.
Admission is $5.
Friday evening, March 9,
the Happy Gang members
will also host their regular
monthly card party.
The regional seniors’ rally
will be hosted in part by the
Londesborough group on
April 1.
Garnet Wright and
daughter, Kim Roetsicoender
led the congregation at
Londesborough United
Church on Sunday, March 4
in the Lenten Tennebrae.
They added a second Lenten
symbol to the cross.
For the second Sunday of
Lent, attention was drawn to
the faith exhibited by
Abraham and Sarah. This
Old Testament couple
demonstrated the importance
of living by faith. Abram was
mentor to a long line of
prophets. He should be an
example of Christians during
Lent as they journey through
the shadows into faith.
Rev. Pat Cook’s
conversation with the
children, who gathered at the
front, centred on animals and
how animal mothers protect
their young. And they had a
visit from Bella, a three-
week-old lamb. Bella is the
smallest lamb of triplets born
on the Drost farm. Because
she is small, Bella gets
special help and protection
from the Drost family.
The conversation with the
children was a tie-in to the
gospel scripture reading,
Luke 13:31-35. In the 40
days before Easter, Jesus
knew King Herod wanted to
kill Him. Referred to as the
fox by Christ, He tells His
followers that He would like
to gather His people to
himself as a mother hen
would gather her children
when she feared their safety.
A mother hen demonstrates
costly compassion, knowing
full well she would sacrifice
herself to the fox to protect
her chicks.
Christ is everyone’s
magnificent mentor. In a faith
journey, believers encounter
many foxes, things that
would destroy one’s faith. yet
God has the final word in our
lives and He helps us avoid
those dissensions if we
demonstrate faith. His love
has no bounds. The voice of
the shepherd will always
bring us back to the fold and
security. In return we are
asked to show compassion to
others.
The World Day of Prayer
service was cancelled on
Friday, March 2 because of
inclement weather. The
UCW invites you to come out
this Friday, March 9 at 1:30
p.m. for the service.
