Ten tables in play
for shoot on Friday
Cemetery holds public meeting
The Evening Group of Belgrave
United Church Women met at the
home of Barbara Anderson on
Tuesday, June 5 with Nancy
Folkard’s group in charge of the
meeting. She welcomed everyone
and opened with a poem
Understanding Empire, which is the
mission theme for 2007.
Donna Shaw opened the worship
service with a reading about
dandelions.
Following a hymn Muriel Coultes
read a mediation, Getting Along
with Others. Mrs. Shaw read the
scripture, I John 3: 1-11 which was
followed by prayer.
The offering was received and
dedicated.
Following another hymn, Muriel
Coultes closed with prayer.
Mrs. Coultes read the minutes of
the previous meeting and gave the
treasurer’s report. Mabel Wheeler
gave the card report. The roll call
was answered by “If you could
change one thing in the world, what
would it be?”
Mrs. Folkard explained about the
mission theme for the coming year,
and read several items from the new
Mandate: Challenging Empire, A
Call to Community. The items she
read each showed a way that large
corporations were adding to
inequality in their regions.
First was the story of Alcan
International of Montreal, and the
way it was treating the poor and
farmers in India. Second was a story,
Advertisers to Children, and how
that influences the purchases made
by children and families. Ages nine
to 14 spend $1.9 billion a year, and
create the influence to their families
for $20 billion spending on
advertised items.
The last story was about water
diversion threatening the livelihoods
of people in Brazil who depend on
it. She also mentioned a church in
Toronto which was encouraging
everyone on e-mail to spread the
word of a boycott on gas prices.
Nancy closed with prayer.
The Over-80 birthday party was
planned for Tuesday, Aug. 14 at 2
p.m. in the church basement.
Invitations will be sent to all those
over 80, but everyone is invited to
attend.
Following the benediction and
grace, lunch was served by Muriel
Coultes and Barbara Anderson.
For the first time since 1993, thepeople behind Brandon Cemeteryopened their doors to publicdiscussion.
As Ross Proctor, chairman of the
cemetery board explained, Brandon
Cemetery is one of the few
independent, non-denominational
cemeteries left, so they
technically don’t have to answer to
anyone.
The public meeting was held to
bring the people of Belgrave up to
speed on what had been going on
since the last meeting 14 years ago.
While the board members meettwice a year (usually in the springand the fall), Proctor says there hasnever really been much of a call fora public meeting. And while theyhad one in 1993, that was their firstone ever; making last Saturday’s
meeting the second in their 120 year
history.
North Huron deputy-reeve Murray
Scott was at the meeting and gave a
brief timeline of the cemetery.
Recently donated by Jim Coulteswas a columbarium. This has 40niches to hold people’s ashes. In addition to the columbarium,two marble benches were donated,one by McBurney Funeral Homeand the other by Wingham
Memorials.
Prices were reviewed and Coultes
spoke on behalf of his donation and
about his daughter, Marie, whom he
donated the columbarium in
memory of.One citizen in attendance raisedthe question about possibly havingannual meetings, or at least, makingthe public privy to the bi-annualmeetings of the board.Proctor said this is possible and
the meetings could be opened to the
public, but annual meetings would
have to be something he would look
into.
Final resting
Donated by Jim Coultes in the memory of his late daughter
Marie, the columbarium at Brandon Cemetery was the
topic of discussion at their first public information meeting
in 14 years last weekend. The columbarium and several
benches donated by McBurney Funeral Home and
Wingham Memorials are the most recent contributions to
the 120-year-old cemetery. (Shawn Loughlin photo)
