Heading back to school often
involves a rush of shopping in the
weeks prior to the commencement
of classes. From supplies to
clothing, there are many items
students need. Here are some
pointers to keep things organized
and push your dollar even futher:
Spend a little extra on a backpack
and lunch bag/box. Those are the
items that will take the most abuse,
so invest in ones that will be of a
higher quality.
Involve children in the shopping
process so that they can pick styles
and colours that they will enjoy
wearing, so there will be limited
early-morning quarrels come time
for getting ready for school.
Take advantage of back-to-school
sales to stock up on extra supplies
you know your child will need or to
replace ones that might get lost,
such as extra pens/pencils, scissors,
loose-leaf paper, folders, etc.
Millie Thompson of Dryden
visited most of the week with Brock
and Janis Vodden to make use of
their Repository of Blyth History.
She was seeking information about
the families Kraehling, Logan,
Denstedt, and Brown who had lived
around Blyth and Auburn, as well
as the Mills family of West
Wawanosh. She visited Ball’s
Cemetery and Union Cemetery
where some family members were
interred.
Millie was happy to meet
Lawrence and Jean Plaetzer who are
connected to her Denstedt relatives.
She also enjoyed coffee with the
Blyth Tai Chi club.
Jan said, “She was also pleased toenjoy an excellent meal at thehistoric Blyth Inn because herrelative, Isaac Brown made thecement blocks from which the hotelwas built in 1906.”On Aug. 17, Brock and Janis tookMillie to meet other members ofthese families who lived around theWellesley area. They enjoyed lunch
together and a tour of a Kraehling
family farm and a session around a
dining room table sharing
genealogical information.
Millie enjoyed the exceptional
hospitality of Phyllis and Emerson
who operate Mitchell’s Country Bed
and Breakfast in Brussels.

“Where Good Health Grows on Trees”
On to kindergarten
The graduates of the Kinderoo program in Wingham gathered recently for a photo. Kinderoo
is a program for children ages three to five, who are preparing to enter kindergarten. It
focuses on supporting and strengthening a child's sense of self to increase self-confidence,
and self-esteem helping them to be successful in school. The program was also offered in
Seaforth and Goderich. There were approximately 66 children involved. It is offered in Huron
by Rural Response for Health Children. (Vicky Bremner photo)
